Re: Legal Opinions regarding certain PRC law matters

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are qualified lawyers of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”, which, for the purpose of this opinion, does not include the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative Region and Taiwan) and as such are qualified to issue this legal opinion on the laws of the PRC. We have acted as your legal counsel on the laws of the PRC in connection with (i) the proposed initial public offering (the “Offering”) of certain number of American depositary shares (the “ADSs”, each representing certain number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company), by the Company as set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1, including all amendments or supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in relation to the Offering, and (ii) the proposed listing and trading of the Company’s ADSs on the NASDAQ Stock Market.

 

The following terms as used in this opinion are defined as follows:

 

“Control Agreements” means the agreements set forth in Schedule II attached hereto.

“M&A Rules” means the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (《关于外国投资者并购境内企业的规定》), which was issued by six PRC regulatory agencies, namely, the Ministry of Commerce, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) and the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, on August 8, 2006 and became effective on September 8, 2006, as amended by the Ministry of Commerce on June 22, 2009.
   
“PRC Authorities” means any national, provincial or local governmental, regulatory or administrative authority, agency or commission in the PRC, or any court in the PRC.
   
“PRC Companies” means, collectively, the PRC-incorporated companies as set out in Schedule I attached hereto.
   
“PRC Laws” means any and all laws, regulations, statutes, rules, notices, and supreme court’s judicial interpretations currently in force and publicly available in the PRC as of the date hereof.
   

 

For the purpose of giving this opinion, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments provided to us and such other documents or certificates issued or representations made by officials of governmental authorities and other public organizations and by officers and representatives of the Company as we have deemed necessary and appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth (collectively, the “Documents”).

 

In such examination, we have assumed:

 

(i)the genuineness of all signatures, seals and chops, the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals, and the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of all Documents;

 

2

 

(ii)the conformity to originals of all Documents submitted to us as certified or reproduced copies;

 

(iii)that all factual statements provided to us, whether made in the Documents or otherwise, are correct in all material respects;

 

(iv)that all parties to the Documents have full power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform, and have duly executed, delivered, performed and/or issued, such Documents to which they are parties, and have the requisite power and authority to perform their obligations thereunder, and all parties will duly perform their obligations under the documents to which they are parties;

 

(v)that any document submitted to us remains in full force and effect up to the date of this opinion and has not been revoked, amended, varied, cancelled or superseded or supplemented, except as noted therein, by any other document, agreement or action;

 

(vi)that, in response to our due diligence inquiries, requests and investigation for the purpose of this opinion, all the relevant information and materials that have been provided to us by the Company and the PRC Companies are true, accurate, complete and not misleading, and that the Company, or each of the PRC Companies, has not withheld, omitted or concealed anything that, if disclosed to us, would reasonably cause us to alter this opinion in whole or in part. Where important facts were not independently established to us, we have relied upon certificates issued by governmental authorities and appropriate representatives of the Company, the PRC Companies and/or other relevant entities and/or upon representations made by such persons in the course of our inquiry and consultation;

 

(vii)all the explanations and interpretations provided by the officers of PRC Authorities duly reflect the official position of the PRC Authorities;

 

(viii)all license, approval, consent, waiver, order, sanction, certificate, authorization, filing, declaration, disclosure, registration, exemption, permission, endorsement, annual inspection, clearance, qualification, permit or license by, from or with any PRC Authorities pursuant to any PRC Laws, and other official statements and documentation obtained by the Company or any of the PRC Companies from any PRC Authorities have been obtained by lawful means in due course, and the Documents provided to us conform with those documents submitted to PRC Authorities for such purposes; and

 

3

 

(ix)all consents, licenses, permits, approvals, exemptions or authorizations required by, and all required registrations or filings with, any governmental authority or regulatory body of any jurisdiction other than the PRC in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Registration Statement and other Documents have been obtained or made, and are in full force and effect as of the date thereof; with respect to all parties, the due compliance with, and the legality, validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the Documents under, all laws other than the laws of the PRC.

 

We do not purport to be experts on and do not purport to be generally familiar with or qualified to express legal opinions on any laws other than the PRC Laws and accordingly express no legal opinion herein on any laws of any jurisdiction other than the PRC. For the purpose of this opinion, the laws of the PRC do not include the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan.

Based on the foregoing and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the following opinions:

 

1.Based on our understanding of the current PRC Laws, each of the Control Agreements is currently valid and binding in accordance with its terms and applicable PRC Laws currently in effect, and will not violate any applicable PRC Laws currently in effect. However, there are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC Laws or future PRC laws and regulations by relevant PRC regulatory authorities. Accordingly, the PRC Authorities may ultimately take a view that is contrary to or otherwise different from our opinion stated above;

 

2.The M&A Rules, among other things, purport to require offshore special purpose vehicles that are controlled directly or indirectly by PRC domestic companies or individuals and that have been formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies or assets to obtain CSRC approval prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. The CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings such as the Offering are subject to the CSRC approval procedures under the M&A Rules. Based on our understanding of the PRC Laws, the Company is not required to submit an application to the CSRC for its approval of this Offering and the listing and trading of the ADSs on Nasdaq under the M&A Rules. However, there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented and our opinion stated above is subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules;

 

4

 

3.The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the jurisdiction where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against a company or its directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands; and

 

4.The statements set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Taxation – People’s Republic of China Taxation” insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of the matters of the PRC Laws are true and accurate in all material respects.

 

This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

1.this opinion is intended to be used in the context which is specifically referred to herein and each section should be looked on as a whole regarding the same subject matter, and no part should be extracted and referred to independently;

 

5

 

2.this opinion is subject to the effects of (i) certain legal or statutory principles affecting the validity and enforceability of contractual rights generally under the concepts of public interest, interests of the state, social ethics, reasonableness, national security, good faith, fair dealing and applicable statutes of limitation; (ii) any circumstance in connection with formulation, execution, performance or implementation of any legal documents that would be deemed materially mistaken, clearly unconscionable, fraudulent, coercionary or concealing illegal intentions with a lawful form; (iii) judicial or arbitral discretion with respect to the availability of indemnifications, remedies or defenses, injunctive relief, the calculation of damages, the entitlement to attorney’s fees and other costs, and the waiver of immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from legal process; (iv) the discretion of any competent PRC legislative, administrative or judicial or arbitral bodies in exercising their authority in the PRC; (v) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (vi) possible judicial, arbitral, or administrative actions or any PRC Laws affecting creditors’ rights;

 

3.where certain facts were not, or may not be practical to be verified by us, we have relied upon certificates or statements or representations issued or made by relevant governmental authorities of the PRC, the appropriate representatives of the Company or any PRC Company with the proper powers and functions without further independent investigation;

 

4.this opinion is given pursuant to the PRC Laws as in effect on the date hereof and is subject to change and qualification by reason of change of law and circumstances, lapse of time and other matters. There is no guarantee that any of such laws, or the interpretation thereof or enforcement therefore, will not be changed, amended or replaced in the immediate future or in the longer term with or without retrospective effect. We express no opinion as to the rights, obligations or other matters arising subsequent to the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person or entity of any changes to our opinion subsequent to the date hereof; and

 

5.we do not purport to be experts on and do not purport to be generally familiar with or qualified to express legal opinions on any laws other than the PRC Laws and accordingly express no legal opinion herein on any laws of any jurisdiction other than the PRC Laws.

 

This opinion is delivered in our capacity as the Company’s PRC legal counsel solely for the purpose of the Registration Statement publicly submitted to the SEC on the date of this opinion and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent. We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in, and the filing hereof as an exhibit to, the Registration Statement, and to the reference to our name in such Registration Statement. We do not thereby admit that we fall within the category of the persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the regulations promulgated thereunder.
