The Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each such director, officer or controlling person and each Shareholder promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the other person or a Shareholder in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising out of, or based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission contained in written information furnished by the Purchaser to the Company and the Shareholders.
The Company and Shareholders will severally reimburse the Purchaser and each such controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling person in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, except that the Company will not be liable to the extent any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission contained in any written information furnished by the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the liability of each of the Company and each of the Shareholders (including, without limitation, the indemnification obligation of the Company and each of the Shareholders under this Section 7.1(a)) shall be limited to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) which shall arise during the two-year period following the execution of this Agreement, and shall be limited to an amount not greater than the sum of: (i) the total of all cash payments made to the Shareholders by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, plus (ii) an amount equal to the lowest per share market price of the common stock of the Purchaser during the period between Closing and the date the indemnified claim first was made to a party, multiplied by the total number of shares of such stock theretofore issued by the Purchaser to the Shareholders that have become freely tradable (or otherwise assignable for value) (the "Aggregate Consideration"), provided always that, the maximum liability for each of the Company and each of the Shareholders in respect of all claims by the Purchaser hereunder shall not in any event exceed that part of the Aggregate Consideration which shall be receivable by it/him under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other document referred to in this Agreement shall be read or construed as excluding or limiting any liability or remedy as a result of fraud.
Section 7.2 - Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after a person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person intends to seek indemnification under Section 7.1, the person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 7.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, one or more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 7.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought. No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 7.1 as to which it is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party will, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and by the indemnified party on the other from the sale of Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if that allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits of the sale of such Shares, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

Registration Rights
1. Definitions and Restrictions. (a) The following constitute definitions of certain of the terms used in this Schedule:
"Holder" means the Holder of any "Securities" as herein defined and each such Holder's respective successor(s), transferee(s) and assign(s);
"Registration," "register" and like words mean compliance with all of the laws, rules, regulations and provisions of agreements and corporate documents pertaining to lawful and unconditional transfer of securities including registration of any offering of securities on any form.
"Securities" means, for purposes of this Schedule, the Common Stock of the Purchaser issued pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of computing percentage of Securities, each share of Common Stock to be registered (or entitled to be registered hereunder for purposes of Section 3) shall be counted as one vote. "Unrestricted Securities" shall not be included in "Securities" for purposes of this Schedule. As herein used, the term "Unrestricted Securities" shall mean at any time securities that either (i) have theretobefore been sold or transferred in a public offering or distribution in connection with which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) have theretofore been sold or transferred without registration under said Securities Act in a transaction in which (in the opinion of counsel for the transferor) such registration was not required and which did not involve any investment representation or investment undertaking by the transferee with respect to such securities, such as a transfer pursuant to Regulation A or Rule 144.
2. Demand Registration.
(a) If, at any time after July 21, 2006 and from time to time thereafter, any Holder(s) shall notify the Purchaser (i) that it, or any other person(s) who shall then hold any of the Securities (any such other person(s) being hereinafter in this Section 2 of this Schedule called "Subsequent Holder(s)"), proposes to sell or transfer a number of such Securities, and (ii) that, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder or such Subsequent Holder(s) (a copy of which opinion shall be furnished to the Purchaser), the Securities proposed to be so sold or transferred by the Holder(s) or such Subsequent Holder(s) are not Unrestricted Securities (as defined herein) and it is necessary or desirable in connection with the sale or transfer of such Securities to effect a registration thereof pursuant to the Securities Act, or to qualify any thereof under the Securities or Blue Sky laws of any one or more states, then on each occasion when the Purchaser shall be requested by a Holder or Holders to effect a registration of any of the Common Stock under the Securities Act, to which request the Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Securities consent (a Holder may consent but need not request registration of any Securities held by it). The Purchaser shall promptly give written notice of such request to all other Holders and proceed to perform as provided in (b) below. The percentage of 66 2/3% as stated above shall be 66 2/3% so long as the Common Stock has not previously been the subject of any effective registration.
(b) The Purchaser (i) will upon such request as expeditiously as is reasonably possible use its best efforts to effect registration on Form S-1 (or any form adopted in lieu thereof) under the Securities Act of the Securities which the Purchaser has been requested to register including any requests of Holder(s) subsequent to notice from the Purchaser to the Holders as provided in (a) above; (ii) if the offering is pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the underwriter to be the person selected by the holders of the majority of the Securities to be registered), enter into an underwriting agreement with underwriters selected by the Holder(s) requesting an offering of securities, said agreement to be in such form as the underwriter shall customarily enter into and enter into indemnification as provided in Section 6 of this Schedule hereof; (iii) use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective; (iv) notify the Holder(s) (which term includes "Subsequent Holders" throughout this Schedule unless expressly stated otherwise) promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed; (v) notify the Holder(s) promptly of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or prospectus or of additional information; (vi) prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon any Holder's request, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for the Holder(s), may be necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Securities by the Holder(s); (vii) prepare and promptly file with the SEC and promptly notify the Holder(s) of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statement or omission, if at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as a result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (viii) in case any Holder(s) or any underwriter(s) for any Holder(s) is (are) required to deliver a prospectus, at a time when the prospectus then in effect may no longer be used under the Securities Act, prepare promptly upon request such amendment or amendments to such Registration Statement and such prospectus or prospectuses as may be necessary to permit compliance with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act subject to clause (xiii) below; (ix) not file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or prospectus to which any Holder(s) shall reasonably object after having been furnished a copy at a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof; (x) advise each Holder promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; (xi) use its best efforts to qualify the Securities for sale under the securities laws of such states as such Holder(s) may reasonably request except that it shall not be required in connection therewith or a condition thereof to execute a general consent to service or qualify to do business in any such states or otherwise to subject itself to taxation therein; and (xii) furnish to each Holder as soon as available copies of any such Registration Statement and each preliminary or final prospectus, or supplement required to be prepared pursuant to this Schedule, all in such quantities as each Holder may from time to time reasonably request; (xiii) provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchaser be obligated to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period longer than 120 days plus a number of days equal to the number of days, if any, during which such Holder's right to offer and sell such Securities shall have been suspended pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 3 of this Schedule and the Purchaser may after such period deregister any Securities remaining unsold if the Commission or its staff so requests; and (xiv) if any of the Securities are then listed on any securities exchange, the Purchaser will cause all shares covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on such exchange(s). No Holder of any Securities shall have a right to participate in any Registration pursuant to Section 2 of this Schedule unless such Holder shall agree to sell such Securities as a party to the underwriting arrangement selected by the holders of a majority of the Securities being registered.
3. Information to be Furnished by Holder. Each Holder of any Securities to be included in any Registration Statement filed by the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall be subject to the following conditions:
(a) each Holder shall be required to furnish in writing to the Purchaser all information within the Holder's possession or knowledge required by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and by any applicable state securities or Blue Sky Laws concerning the proposed method of sale or other disposition of the Securities and the identity of and compensation to be paid to any proposed underwriter(s) to be employed in connection therewith;
(b) if such Holder desires to sell and distribute securities over a period of time, or from time to time, at then prevailing market prices, pursuant to a Registration Statement to be filed by the Purchaser then such Holder shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser such written undertakings as the Purchaser and its counsel may reasonably require in order to assure full compliance with relevant provisions of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act; and
(c) if, during the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Schedule , an intervening event should occur which, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser’s counsel, makes the prospectus included in such Registration Statement no longer comply with the Securities Act, after notice containing the facts and legal conclusions relied upon from the Purchaser to such Holder(s) of the occurrence of such an event, such Holder(s) shall make no further sales or other dispositions, or offers therefor, of Securities under such Registration Statement until it receives from the Purchaser copies of a new, amended or supplemented prospectus complying with the Securities Act as soon as practicable after such notice. The Purchaser shall keep such Holder(s) fully informed as to the status of its efforts which shall be prompt and diligent to cause such new, amended or supplemented prospectus to be available for use by such Holder(s).
4. Cost and Expenses.
(a) The Purchaser will pay all costs and expenses for all registrations under this Schedule except as provided in (c) of this Section 4 of this Schedule. The costs and expenses include, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Purchaser’s counsel, one special counsel selected by the offering Holder(s), insurance premiums, the fees and expenses of accountants and auditors and all other costs and expenses incident to the preparation, printing and filing of any and all documents to be filed under the Securities Act, each prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereof, the costs incurred in connection with the qualification of the Securities and the offering thereof under the laws of various jurisdictions (including fees and disbursements), cost of listing on any exchange, the cost of furnishing to each Holder such copies as the Holder shall reasonably request of any Registration Statement, each preliminary prospectus, the final prospectus and each amendment and supplement thereto and all expenses incident to delivery of the Securities to any underwriter or underwriters; but not the commissions or discounts payable by the Holder(s) to such underwriter(s).
(b) The demand registration rights provided in Section 2 of this Schedule may be exercised on only 3 occasions at the Purchaser’s expense. In the event that the Holder(s) who is (are) an offeror(s) of Securities offered under the last of the registrations to be made at the Purchaser’s expense under the foregoing subsection (a) do not sell at least 50% of the shares so registered and offered, such Registration Statement shall not be included within the registration to which the Holder is entitled at the Purchaser’s expense. Any subsequent registered offering in which at least 50% of the shares offered are not sold shall likewise be disregarded in calculating the registrations at the Purchaser’s expense to which the Holder is entitled.
(c) The holder(s) may demand unlimited additional registrations provided that such Holder(s) shall pay or reimburse the Purchaser for all actual and direct costs and expenses of such registration.
(d) In the event holder(s) of other securities wish to make an offering of securities held by them as part of the same registration as to which the Holder(s) is (are) bearing the cost pursuant to subparagraph (c), the Purchaser shall require as a condition of such registration that the holder(s) of the other securities pay their share of the cost of registration (pro rated according to the gross offering price of the Securities being registered).
5. Incidental Registration. If at any time the Purchaser determines that it shall file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act (other than a Registration Statement on a Form S-4 or S-8) on any form that also would permit the registration for resale of the Securities and such filing is to be on its behalf and/or on behalf of selling holders of its securities for the general registration of its Common Stock to be sold for cash, the Purchaser shall at each such time promptly give each Holder written notice of such determination setting forth the date on which the Purchaser proposes to file such Registration Statement, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice, and advising each Holder of its right to have Securities included in such registration. Upon the written request of any Holder received by the Purchaser no later than 20 days after the date of Purchaser’s notice, the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Securities that each such Holder has so requested to be registered; provided that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Purchaser shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Purchaser may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder of Securities and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Securities in connection with such registration.
6. Indemnification by Purchaser. The Purchaser will, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder registering an offering of Securities and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Holder or underwriter or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement registered under the Securities Act, any prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse each Holder, underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Holder, underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the Purchaser will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder or underwriter in writing specifically for use in the preparation of such prospectus.
7. Indemnification by Holder. Each Holder registering an offering of Securities will to the extent permitted by law indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed said Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser, within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any loss, claim, damage or liability of which the Purchaser, or any such director, officer or controlling person may be or become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) is caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in said Registration Statement, said prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement; or arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such preliminary prospectus and if, in respect to such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission, the final prospectus corrected such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission and a copy of such final prospectus had not been seen or given at or prior to the confirmation of the sale with respect to which such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability relates. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7 of this Schedule shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the total amounts payable by a Holder in indemnity under this Section in respect of any violations shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the relevant registered offering.
8. Notice to Indemnitor. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant thereto, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.
9. Additional Obligations. If any Securities require declaration of or registration with or approval of any Federal or State governmental official or authority (other than registration under the Securities Act or qualification or registration under state securities or Blue Sky laws) before such Securities may be sold, the Purchaser at its own expense shall take all reasonable action in connection with such registration, declaration or approval and will use its best efforts to cause such Securities to be duly registered or approved as may be required; provided, however, that in connection therewith or as a condition thereof, the Purchaser shall not be required to execute a general consent to service or to qualify to do business in any such state.
10. Rule 144 Covenants. The Purchaser covenants to the Holders of Securities for so long as any Securities remain outstanding that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Purchaser shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it (or the Parent) under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the SEC under the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and shall take such further action as any Holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.
11. Registration Provisions for Other Securityholders. In the event a registration is effective as provided in Section 2 or 5 of this Schedule, the Purchaser shall not permit or cause any additional registrations of an offering of its securities for itself or any securityholder to become effective for a period of six months after the completion of an offering by the Holder(s) registered under either section abovementioned.

Form of Legal Opinion by Company Counsel
July ___ 2005
Calypso Wireless, Inc.
0000 X.X. 000xx XxxxxxXxxxx, Xxxxxxx
X.X.X.
Gentlemen:
We have acted as special Florida counsel to RV Technology Limited, a limited liability company (the "Company") incorporated under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China ("Hong Kong"), in connection with certain matters relating to the Share Purchase Agreement dated [July ___], 2005 (the "Agreement"), by and between Calypso Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), the Company and its Shareholders named therein. We are providing this opinion to you at your request as Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.1(e) of the Agreement.
Except as specifically otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Agreement.
In rendering this opinion and in our examination, we have assumed, without independent verification or investigation, the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photocopied or electronic copies. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates and statements of representatives of the parties to the Agreement and on the statements, representations, and warranties made in or pursuant to the Agreement, and upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Agreement, certificates, and other documents as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render this opinion.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, without independent verification or investigation, with respect to the Agreement, that:
(a) the Agreement and the execution, delivery, and performance thereof have been duly authorized by each of the parties thereto, such document has been duly executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto, and (except to the extent set forth in our opinion below as to the Company) such documents constitute valid, binding, and enforceable obligations of each of the parties thereto;
(b) all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized;
(c) each of the parties to such documents is duly organized and validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required;
(d) each of the parties to such documents has the full power, authority, and legal right to execute and deliver such documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder;
(e) each party to such documents has obtained all consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations, orders, filings, recordings, registrations, exemptions, and qualifications that are required to be made or obtained in connection with its execution, delivery, and performance thereof and for the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, and such are valid and sufficient for their intended purpose and are in full force and effect;
(f) neither the authorization, execution, nor delivery by each party to each document to which it is a party, nor such performance by it of its obligations thereunder contravenes, conflicts with, or violates (i) its articles of association or incorporation or other applicable constituent documents, (ii) any applicable law, rule, or regulation of any jurisdiction, (iii) any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or (iv) any judicial or administrative judgment, injunction, order, or decree that is binding upon it or its properties or assets;
(g) there are no facts or circumstances in existence, and no events have occurred, that would render the Agreement void, voidable, repudiated, frustrated, or capable of rescission, in each case, by reason of fraud or misrepresentation on the part of the parties thereto;
(h) there are no other documents, oral or written agreements, or collateral arrangements among the parties to the documents referred to in this opinion that modify or supersede any of the terms thereof and that the Agreement has not been amended, waived, or terminated, including by course of conduct.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the State of Florida, the obligations of the Company under the Agreement constitute its valid and binding obligations, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms.
In addition to the other assumptions, exceptions, and qualifications contained in this opinion, the opinion in the preceding paragraph is subject to the following exceptions and qualifications:
(a) Insofar as the foregoing opinion relates to the validity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under the Agreement, such opinion is subject to (i) the limitations of all applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, and similar laws or judicial action relating to and affecting the rights of creditors generally and to the possible judicial application of foreign laws or governmental action affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including without limitation (A) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy and (B) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, and fair dealing
(b) The enforceability of any provision of the Agreement relating to indemnification may be limited by laws rendering unenforceable (i) the exculpation or release of a party from or the indemnification of a party against liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts under certain circumstances and (ii) indemnification or contribution provisions that are contrary to federal or securities laws and the public policy underlying such laws.
(c) We express no opinion as to the legality, validity, binding effect, or enforceability of provisions in the Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing, as the enforceability thereof may be limited under certain circumstances.
(d) We assume that the transactions contemplated by the Agreement do not violate the laws or public policy of any other jurisdiction that bears a reasonable relation to such transactions, including, without limitation, Hong Kong.
(e) We note that under applicable law, for various reasons, including public policy of the applicable jurisdiction, certain claims may not be legally arbitrable. Accordingly, for purposes of this opinion as it relates to the Agreement, we have assumed that any claim sought to be arbitrated does not involve a matter of public policy, illegality, or statutory interpretation that would preclude the arbitrability of such claim.
(f) We express no opinion as to any provisions of the Agreement purporting to authorize conclusive determinations or to permit a party to make determinations in its sole discretion.
(g) We express no opinion as to certain other provisions contained in the Agreement which may be limited or rendered ineffective by applicable laws of the State of Florida or judicial decisions governing such provisions or holding their enforcement to be unreasonable under the then existing circumstances, but such laws and judicial decisions do not in our opinion prevent the practical realization of the substantive benefits intended to be provided by the Agreement.
(h) We express no opinion as to the validity of the choice of Florida Law as the governing law of the Agreement and whether such choice of law would be recognized and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida.
We do not express herein any opinion as to any matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the State of Florida.
This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the Agreement and is solely for your benefit solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and may not be relied upon by or published or communicated to any other person for any purpose whatsoever without our prior written consent in each instance.
Very truly yours,
