Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Deed of Undertaking.

I. Maximum Number of Offeror Shares: 35,665,000, consisting of Initial Offeror Shares and Additional Offeror Shares. The Selling Shareholder will receive the maximum number of Offeror Shares if all three (3) Common Stock Earnout Targets are met.

II. Minimum Number of Offeror Shares: 19,900,000, consisting solely of Initial Offeror Shares.

III. Number of Initial Offeror Shares and Additional Offeror Shares: The number of Initial Offeror Shares and Additional Offeror Shares will vary depending upon the cash offer price per issued share of the Company (“Company Share”) offered to the Public Shareholders. The higher the cash offer price per Company Share, the more Initial Offeror Shares the Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to receive upon exchange of the CHAC Note. The maximum number of Initial Offeror Shares is 23,665,000.

For example, assuming (a) the Selling Shareholder holds 309,697,000 Shares, (b) a S$0.75 cash offer price per Company Share, (c) an Average Exchange Rate of 0.73524 and (d) a USD$8.00 Per Offeror Share Purchase Price, the number of Initial Offeror Shares to be issued to the Selling Shareholder at Closing is 21,347,027.

3. For the purposes of this opinion we have assumed without further enquiry:

 

  (a) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of such originals;

 

  (b) the genuineness of all signatures and seals;

 

  (c) the accuracy and completeness of all corporate minutes, resolutions, certificates and records which we have seen;

 

  (d) that the information indicated by the Searches is and remains true and correct;

 

  (e) the accuracy of any and all representations of fact expressed in or implied by the documents we have examined;

 

  (f) that the Documents constitute valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations of the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware in the United States of America by which law they are expressed to be governed;

 

  (g) that no matters arising under any foreign law will affect the views expressed in this opinion;

 

  (h) that no director of the Company has a financial interest in or other relationship to a party to the transaction contemplated by the Documents except as expressly disclosed in the Board Resolutions;

 

  (i) that the Board Resolutions and the Shareholders Resolutions remain in full force and effect; and

 

  (j) that no resolution of the members of the Company has been passed limiting the powers of the directors.

 

4. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications expressed below, our opinion is as follows:

 

  (a) Existence and Good Standing. The Company is a company duly registered with limited liability for an unlimited duration under the BVI Business Companies Act (No 16 of 2004), and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. It is a separate legal entity and is subject to suit in its own name.

 

  (b) Merger. The merger of the Company with China Holdings Acquisition Corp. was duly authorised by the Company and is valid and effective under British Virgin Islands law.

 

  (c) Capacity and Power. The Company has full capacity to execute the Note and to perform its obligations under the Documents and the Company has taken all necessary action to execute the Note and to authorise its exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations under the Documents.

 

  (d) Due Execution. The Documents have been duly executed for and on behalf of the Company.

 

  (e) Valid and Binding. The Documents will be treated by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as the legally binding, valid and enforceable obligations of the Company.

 

  (f) Consents. No consents or authorisations of any government or official authorities of or in the British Virgin Islands are necessary for the grant and execution of the Note by the Company the performance by the Company of its obligations and the exercise of its rights pursuant to the Documents and the issue of the Initial Offer Shares or the Additional Shares.

 

3


  (g) Non-conflict. The performance by the Company of its obligations and the exercise of any of its rights pursuant to the Documents do not and will not conflict with:

 

  (i) any law or regulation of the British Virgin Islands; or

 

  (ii) the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

 

  (h) Stamp Duty. No stamp duties or similar documentary taxes imposed by or in the British Virgin Islands are payable in respect of the Documents or the issue of the Initial Offer Shares or the Additional Shares.

 

  (i) Initial Offer Shares. The Initial Offer Shares, when issued against payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of the Documents will be duly and validly issued fully paid and non-assessable and, to our knowledge, on the basis of the Director’s Certificate, free and clear of all liens, charges, restrictions and encumbrances imposed by or through the Company except as set forth in the Documents.

 

  (j) Additional Shares. The Additional Shares, when issued in exchange for the consideration set forth in the Documents and upon satisfaction of the Common Stock Earnout Targets, will be duly and validly issued fully paid and non-assessable and, to our knowledge, on the basis of the Director’s Certificate, free and clear of all liens, charges, restrictions and encumbrances imposed by or through the Company except as set forth in the Documents.

 

  (k) Cash Dividend. For so long as the directors of the Company are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after the dividend distribution, the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due (in accordance with Article 18 of the Company’s Articles of Association), the declaration of a cash dividend as set out in paragraph 2.1.11 of the Deed does not conflict with any law or regulation of the British Virgin Islands.

 

5. This opinion is confined to the matters expressly opined on herein and given on the basis of the laws of the British Virgin Islands as they are in force and applied by the British Virgin Islands courts at the date of this opinion. We have made no investigation of, and express no opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to matters of fact. Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in the Documents. We express no opinion with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

 

6. The opinions set out above are subject to the following qualifications:

 

  (a) The term “enforceable” as used above means that the obligations assumed by the Company under the relevant instrument are of a type which the courts of the British Virgin Islands enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

 

  (i) rights and obligations may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, arrangement and other similar laws of the British Virgin Islands of general application affecting the rights of creditors;

 

4


  (ii) claims under the Documents may become barred under the laws relating to limitation of actions in the British Virgin Islands or may be or become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim;

 

  (iii) equitable remedies such as injunctions and orders for specific performance are discretionary and will not normally be available where damages are considered an adequate remedy and equitable rights may be defeated by a bona fide purchaser for value without notice;

 

  (iv) where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands they may not be enforceable under the laws of the British Virgin Islands to the extent that such performance would be contrary to the laws of that jurisdiction or contrary to mandatory laws or public policy of that jurisdiction;

 

  (v) strict legal rights may be qualified by doctrines of good faith and fair dealing—for example a certificate or calculation as to any matter might be held by a British Virgin Islands court not to be conclusive if it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis, or in the event of manifest error;

 

  (vi) enforcement may be prevented by reason of fraud, misrepresentation, public policy or mistake or limited by the doctrine of frustration of contracts;

 

  (vii) provisions, for example, for the payment of additional interest in certain circumstances, may be unenforceable to the extent a court of the British Virgin Islands determines such a provision to be a penalty; and

 

  (viii) enforcement may be limited by the principle of forum non conveniens or analogous principles.

 

  (b) The courts in the British Virgin Islands will determine in their discretion whether or not an illegal or unenforceable provision may be severed.

 

  (c) The courts of the British Virgin Islands may refuse to give effect to a provision in respect of the cost of unsuccessful litigation brought before those courts or where the courts themselves have made an order for costs.

 

  (d) In certain circumstances provisions in the Documents that (i) the election of a particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others, or (ii) delay or failure to exercise a right or remedy will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy, may not be enforceable.

 

  (e) We express no opinion in relation to provisions making reference to foreign statutes in the Documents.

 

7. This opinion is rendered for the benefit of [—] [who are original parties to the Documents] and the benefit of their legal counsel (in that capacity only) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Documents only. [It may be disclosed to the successors and assigns of [—] only with our prior written consent.] It may not be disclosed to or relied on by any other party or for any other purpose.

Yours faithfully
