4.3When issued and paid for as contemplated in the Resolutions, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and registered in the register of members of the Company, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue thereof).

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (as an exhibit to a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement) and to the references to our firm under the captions “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
