ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES We are an exempted limited liability company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands corporation, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of exchange controls or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides significantly less protection for investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. Our constituent documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders be arbitrated. We conduct substantially all of our current operations in China through Jiangxi LDK Solar, our principal operating subsidiary. All or most of our assets are located in China. A majority of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions outside the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or against them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. We have appointed Law Debenture Corporate Services Inc. at 767 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the federal securities laws of the United States or any action brought against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York under the securities laws of the State of New York. Conyers, Dill & Pearman, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and Grandall Legal Group, our counsel as to PRC law, have advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or China, respectively, would ‚ recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or ‚ entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands or China, respectively, against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Conyers, Dill & Pearman has further advised us that the courts of the Cayman Islands would recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the federal or state courts in the United States under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that ‚ such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; ‚ such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the Cayman Islands; ‚ such judgment was not obtained by fraud; ‚ the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands; 129
