described therein and filed as an annex to the Registration Statement.

         We hereby confirm that the discussion set forth under the caption

EYPI-Bermuda Common Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the Registration Statement
and in the proxy statement/prospectus included therein. Our consent to such
reference does not constitute a consent under Section 7 of the Act, and in
