As such counsel, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including (i) the articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws and operating agreement of the Issuers and the Company, as applicable, (ii) the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) to which this letter is an exhibit, (iii) the form of indenture attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Registration Statement (the “Indenture”), and (iv) forms of the Securities.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Issuers and the Company, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Issuers and the Company.

Our opinion expressed below is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principals of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) public policy considerations that may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that when (i) the Securities are duly authorized for issuance by and executed by any Issuer and the Guarantee is authorized and executed by the Company, (ii) the Indenture has been duly authorized and executed by the Issuers and the Company, and (iii) the Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and paid for pursuant to the documents governing their issuance and sale, (1) the Securities will be validly issued and binding obligations of the Issuers and (2) the Guarantee will be a validly issued and binding obligation of the Company.
