    Ladies
      and Gentlemen:

    

    

    We
      have
      acted as special Brazilian counsel to Brazil April LLC and Brazil May LLC
      (collectively, “Sellers”),
      in
      connection with a certain Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”)
      entered into on the date hereof among the Sellers and MIH Brazil Participações
      Ltda. (the “Buyer”).

    

    Capitalized
      terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the
      SPA.

    

    In
      arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined executed counterparts
      of the SPA,
      and
      we
      have made such investigations of law as we have deemed appropriate for purposes
      of this opinion.

    

    In
      our
      examination, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original
      documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
      the
      conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to
      us as
      copies, and the legal capacity of natural persons. As to certificates or
      statements or both of public officials, we have assumed that they have been
      properly given and are accurate. We have also assumed that:

    (i)    each
      of
      the Sellers is
      duly
      organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
      organization and has the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute
      and
      perform the SPA;

    

    (ii)  
         any
      governmental or regulatory consents, approvals or authorizations required by
      any
      of the Sellers under the laws of its respective organization applicable to
      it
      for its execution and performance of the SPA have been obtained; 

    

    (iii) 
        the
      SPA
      has been duly authorized and executed by the Sellers; and

    

    (iv) 
        the
      signatory the Sellers has
      been
      duly authorized.

    

    Based
      upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and
      qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law
      as
      we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are
      of
      the opinion that:

    

    1.    Validity
      of the SPA.
      The
      SPA
      constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Sellers, enforceable
      against the Sellers in accordance with its terms.

    

    2.    Enforcement
      Under Brazilian Law.
      Except
      for the need to be accompanied by a sworn translation into Portuguese should
      it
      be brought to any courts of Brazil, the SPA is in proper legal form under
      Brazilian law for the enforcement thereof in Brazil. 

    

    The
      foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional
      qualifications:

     

    (i) The
      opinions expressed in this opinion letter are subject to the effect of
      applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
      or
      similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors'
      rights generally, and claims for salaries, wages, social security, taxes and
      other statutory privileges will have preference over any claims, including
      secured ones;

     

    (ii) in
      the
      event that any suit is brought against the Sellers in Brazil, certain court
      costs and deposits will be due;

     

    (iii) in
      the
      event that any suit is brought against the Sellers in Brazil, service of process
      upon it must be affected in accordance with Brazilian law;

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (iv) any
      judgment against the Sellers in a foreign court will be enforced in the courts
      of Brazil if previously confirmed (homologada)
      by the
      Superior Court of Justice of Brazil, such confirmation only occurring if such
      judgment:

     

    (a) fulfils
      all formalities required for its enforceability under the laws of the country

    INDEMNIFICATION

    

    SECTION
      9.01. Indemnification.
      Subject
      to Sections 9.02 and 9.03 below, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and
      hold
      MIH and its shareholders, officers, directors and employees (the “Indemnified
      Parties”),
      harmless from any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, awards, judgments,
      costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys)
      (“Losses”)
      actually and effectively incurred or suffered by any of the Indemnified Parties,
      that is exclusively and directly related or connected to or results from (i)
      any
      breach of any representations and warranties contained in Articles 3 and 4
      hereof; and/or (ii) any breach by the Control Group and/or the Company of any
      covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. The Company shall not be
      liable to any Indemnified Party for any Losses arising from a breach of any
      of
      the representations and warranties contained in Articles 3 and 4 above to the
      extent that the act or fact (including the amount of the potential Loss) that
      gave rise to such Loss was disclosed in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule
      attached hereto as an exception to any of the representations and warranties
      (it
      being agreed and understood that the disclosure of any act or fact as an
      exception to one of the representations and warranties shall be extended to
      and
      considered an exception of all of the other representations and warranties
      regardless of any repetition of additional disclosure thereof). The disclosures
      contained in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule, as well as any
      qualifications, limitations or exceptions contained in the representations
      and
      warranties hereunder shall not be disregarded for any purpose or effect and
      shall not entail, in any way, an obligation to indemnify on the part of the
      Company pursuant to this Agreement.

    SECTION
      9.02. Survival
      of Indemnification Obligations.
      The
      right to claim for any indemnification due under this Agreement shall remain
      in
      full force and effect for the following terms:

    

    (i)
      with
      respect to any and all Losses resulting from Tax related liabilities, for a
      maximum period of 5 (five) years as of the date hereof, provided that such
      Tax
      related Loss results from acts or omissions, facts, events or circumstances
      of
      which the taxable event or origin occurred up to and including the date
      hereof;

    

    (ii)
      with
      respect to any and all Losses resulting from labour related liabilities, for
      a
      maximum period of 2 (two) years as of the date hereof, provided that such labour
      related Loss results from acts or omissions, facts, events or circumstances
      occurred up to and including the date hereof; and

    

    (iii)
      with respect to any and all Losses resulting from civil, commercial or
      liabilities of any other nature, for a maximum period of 3 (three) years as
      of
      the date hereof, provided that such other Loss results from acts or omissions,
      facts, events or circumstances occurred up to and including the date
      hereof.

    

    (b)
      For
      the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligation set forth in this Article
      9 shall encompass all Losses that are the subject matter of claims filed within
      the time limits established in Section 9.02(a) above, notwithstanding the fact
      that the obligation to make payments or disbursements only becomes enforceable
      after such dates.

    

    SECTION
      9.03. Limits
      on Indemnification.
      (a) The
      indemnification provided in this Section 9 shall be the sole and exclusive
      remedy of any Indemnified Party (and any of their Affiliates) against the
      Company with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty contained
      in Articles 3 and 4 above, or covenant of the Company or the Control Group
      in
      this Agreement, and the issuance and subscription of the Subscription Shares
      contemplated hereby, except in respect of any available injunctive or other
      similar non-monetary relief or remedies.

    
 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    (b)
      The
      Company’s total indemnification liability to the Indemnified Parties with
      respect to all Losses indemnifiable under this Agreement shall be limited to
      the
      maximum amount of US$155,000,000.00 (one hundred and fifty million United States
      Dollars), already including the effects of the Adjustment to Reflect MIH’s
      Ownership and the Gross-up. The Company’s obligation to indemnify the
      Indemnified Parties shall be triggered only if and when the amount of the
      Losses, including the Adjustment to Reflect MIH’s Ownership and the Gross-up,
      exceeds US$5,700,000.00 (five million and seven hundred thousand United States
      dollars); provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of the Losses exceeds
      such figure, the Company shall only be liable to the amounts that exceed that
      figure. No Loss shall count towards the above threshold if the amount of the
      Loss does not exceed US$75,000.00 (seventy-five thousand United States dollars),
      already including the effects of the Adjustment to Reflect MIH’s Ownership, save
      that claims relating to a series of connected matters shall be aggregated for
      this purpose. Any indemnity payment due hereunder which shall be made by the
      Company to the Indemnified Party shall be calculated in accordance with the
      following formula:

    

    
      	
              I
                =

            	
              (L
                *
                PEI)

            
	
              (1
                - PEI)

            

    

    

    Where:

    

    I:
      is the
      indemnification amount to be paid to the Indemnifiable Party
      hereunder;

    

    L:
      is the
      total amount of a Loss incurred; and

    

    PEI:
      is
      the total percentage of the equity interests of the Company held by MIH on
      the
      day of payment by the Company.

    

    In
      addition, “Adjustment
      to Reflect MIH’s Ownership”
means
      L*PEI and “Gross-up”
means
      1-PEI.

    

    (c)
      The
      amount of any indemnification due hereunder shall be reduced by (i) the amount
      of any insurance or other proceeds with respect thereto that are paid to the
      Company (or to any Subsidiary thereof) with respect to the applicable Loss,
      (ii)
      any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually made to the
      Company (or to any Subsidiary thereof) by any third party with respect to the
      applicable Loss.

    

    SECTION
      9.04.
      Payment
      of Losses.
      (a) The
      Company shall, immediately after having knowledge of any act or fact that could
      give rise to an indemnification under this Article 9, send a written notice
      to
      MIH to that effect. MIH shall then have 30 days to respond to such notice
      stating whether it wishes to institute an indemnification claim and, if so,
      shall include reasonable details of the nature and basis for such
      indemnification claim and the total amount thereof. Upon receipt of such
      response notice, the Company shall have 10 Business Days to either pay or
      contest the payment of the indemnification claimed. If (A) the Company contests
      the payment of the indemnification claimed, or (B) the claim relates to any
      legal action or administrative proceeding involving any of the Group Companies,
      the Company shall only be required to pay any such indemnification within 10
      Business Days counted as of the date on which a final and non-appealable
      decision or arbitral award is rendered with respect thereto. All payments to
      the
      Indemnified Party shall be in immediately available funds and free and clear
      of
      PIS and/or COFINS, if applicable, and any indemnification payment relating
      to a
      non-deductible expense of the Indemnified Party (including direct tax and social
      contribution) must be grossed up to cover any and all taxes payable by the
      Indemnified Party on account of such payment.

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (b)
      Failure by the Company to deliver such notice in terms of Section 9.04(a) above
      to MIH shall suspend the running of the survival period set forth in Section
      9.02 above until the date on which the Company notifies MIH with respect to
      any
      act or fact that could give rise to an indemnification and will have to further
      indemnify MIH for any additional Losses that such a delay may have caused.
      Failure by MIH to deliver such response notice within the 30-day period will
      be
      considered as a waiver of its right to indemnification with respect to the
      specific claim.

    

    SECTION
      9.05.
MIH
      Indemnification.
      MIH and
      its shareholders shall defend, indemnify and hold the Company and its
      shareholders, officers, directors and employees harmless from and against and
      in
      respect of any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of the foregoing
      in
      connection with, relating to or as a result of (i) any breach of any
      representations and warranties given by MIH in Article 5 hereof; and/or (ii)
      any
      breach by MIH of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. The
      procedures set forth in Section 9.04 shall apply equally to any indemnification
      obligation of MIH, mutatis
      mutandis,
      interchanging “Company” for “MIH” where such terms appear in Section
      9.04.

    

    SECTION
      9.06.
Indemnification
      by the Indemnifying Shareholders.
      The
      Indemnifying Shareholders shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold
      the
      applicable Indemnified Party, harmless from any and all Losses actually and
      effectively incurred or suffered by any of the Indemnified Parties, that are
      exclusively and directly related or connected to or result from any breach
      of
      any representations and warranties contained in Articles 3 and 4 hereof,
      provided, however, that the Indemnifying Shareholders’ obligation to indemnify
      shall only be triggered to the extent that the Company failed to timely pay
      an
      indemnification that is due by it under this Article 9. The Indemnifying
      Shareholders shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any Losses arising
      from a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Articles
      3 and 4 above to the extent that the act or fact (including the amount of the
      potential Loss) that gave rise to such Loss was disclosed in any Section of
      the
      Disclosure Schedule attached hereto as an exception to any of the
      representations and warranties (it being agreed and understood that the
      disclosure of any act of fact as an exception to one of the representations
      and
      warranties shall be extended to and considered an exception of all of the other
      representations and warranties regardless of any repetition of additional
      disclosure thereof). The disclosures contained in any Section of the Disclosure
      Schedule as well as any qualifications, limitations or exceptions contained
      in
      the representations and warranties hereunder shall not be disregarded for any
      purpose or effect and shall not entail, in any way, an obligation to indemnify
      on the part of the Indemnifying Shareholders pursuant to this
      Agreement.

    SECTION
      9.07.
Procedure
      for Indemnification by the Indemnifying Shareholders.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the indemnification
      obligation of the Indemnifying Shareholders shall only be triggered if the
      Company failed to timely pay any indemnity due hereunder. Subject to the
      provisions of Sections 9.03, 9.04 and 9.06 above and of Section 9.08 below,
      the
      Indemnifying Shareholders shall indemnify the Indemnifiable Party within 15
      Business Days as of the date on which the Indemnifying Shareholders receive
      written notice from such Indemnified Party requesting such indemnification
      and
      confirming that the Company failed to timely make the payment of an
      indemnification that was due by it in accordance with the terms of this
      Agreement. The right
      to
      claim for any indemnification against the Indemnifying Shareholders under the
      terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the terms
      set
      forth in Section 9.02 above.

    

    SECTION
      9.08.
Limit
      on Indemnification by the Indemnifying Shareholders.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the total
      indemnification liability of the Indemnifying Shareholders to the Indemnified
      Parties with respect thereto shall be limited to the maximum amount of ten
      million United States Dollars (US$10,000,000.00). Such an amount will reflect
      the Adjustment to Reflect MIH’s Ownership on the date of payment by the
      Indemnifying Shareholders but will not reflect the Gross-up (both as defined
      in
      Section 9.03 above) not be subject to any gross-up provisions contained
      hereinabove and will only reflect the percentage of Equity Interests of the
      Company held by MIH on the day of payment by the Indemnifying Shareholders.
      MIH
      further agrees that the Indemnified Parties (or any of their Affiliates) shall
      not have recourse with respect to any indemnification set forth hereunder
      against the other members of the Control Group. The indemnification provided
      in
      this Section 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party
      (and any of their Affiliates) against the Indemnifying Shareholders with respect
      to any breach of any representation and warranty contained in Articles 3 and
      4
      above in this Agreement.
