We express no opinion as to whether the Transaction Documents breach any other agreement or instrument.

The provision by a company of a guarantee or indemnity or any equivalent covenant to pay the debts of another person could be construed by the courts of Ireland as constituting the carrying on of an assurance business, particularly if the relevant company receives payment in consideration of the provision of that guarantee or indemnity. In addition, it is an offence for a person to carry on an assurance business
