Except as to the documents delineated above, we have not reviewed, and express no opinion as to any other instrument or document referred to in the Organizational Documents or the Securities Documents, and we express no opinion with respect to the Organizational Documents or the Securities Documents except for those expressly set forth below.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures by each party, the authority of each person or person who executed any document on behalf of another person or entity, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all

documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have assumed that each of the Organizational Documents and the Securities Documents has not been amended subsequent to its respective date, and that there has been no change in any of the matters set forth in the Secretary’s Certificate of each of the Pennsylvania Guarantors. We express no opinion regarding the enforceability of any of the Securities Documents against any party thereto, including the Pennsylvania Guarantors. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion letter, we have relied upon certificates found in Items 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9 above of officers and representatives of the Pennsylvania Guarantors and the Company and upon the representations and warranties of the Pennsylvania Guarantors and the Company regarding issues of fact contained in the Organizational Documents and the Securities Documents.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

A. The Pennsylvania Guarantors are corporations, limited partnerships or limited liability companies, as the case may be, each duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth, as evidenced by the Good Standing Certificates listed in Items 1, 2, and 3 above issued by the Commonwealth, for each of the Pennsylvania Guarantors;

B. The Pennsylvania Guarantors have the power and authority to enter into and perform their obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantee;

C. The Pennsylvania Guarantors have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture and have duly authorized the Guarantees;

D. To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Guarantees by the Pennsylvania Guarantors and the performance by the Pennsylvania Guarantors of their obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantees do not and will not conflict with or constitute or result in a breach or default under or any violation of their Organizational Documents nor result in any violation of any law of the Commonwealth applicable to the Pennsylvania Guarantors that in our experience is customarily applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Indenture and the Guarantees.

E. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any Commonwealth court or governmental authority of the Commonwealth was required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Indenture or is required for the issuance by the Pennsylvania Guarantors of the Guarantees.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the Commonwealth (other than state blue sky securities and usury laws, as to which we express no opinion).

We assume no obligation revise or supplement the opinions set forth in this letter should any such law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise or to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention.
