Hi Julio
on the 5k side you just setup a vpc port-channel config identical on each 5k use LACP active as below , and on the layer 2 switch just use a standard port-channel and connect a link to each 5k , depending on what the 3rd party switch is but most should support LACP these days
you can connect up standard cisco switches like that too that don't understand vpc feature , stacks as well can be split across 5ks as well vpc etherchannel to standard etherchannel
