As to any facts material to our opinion, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Opinion Parties.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that (i) all information contained in all documents reviewed by us is true and correct, (ii) all signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and all documents submitted to us as copies conform to the originals of those documents, (iv) each natural person signing any document reviewed by us had the legal capacity to do so, (v) each person signing in a representative capacity (other than on behalf of the Opinion Parties) any document reviewed by us had authority to sign in such capacity, (vi) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including any post-effective amendments), will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws and such effectiveness shall not have been terminated or rescinded, (vii) a prospectus supplement will have been prepared and timely filed with the SEC describing the Offered Securities, (viii) all Offered Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus supplement, (ix) the Indentures, together with any supplemental indenture relating to a series of Debt Securities to be issued under any of the Indentures, will each be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto in substantially the form reviewed by us, (x) with respect to Debt Securities, the applicable trustee shall have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and a Statement of Eligibility of the Trustee on a Form T-1 has been or will be filed with the SEC with respect to such trustee, (xi) if in an underwritten offering, a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Offered Securities will be duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the other parties thereto, (xii) any Offered Securities issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Offered Security will be duly authorized, created and, if appropriate, reserved for issuance upon such conversion, exchange or exercise and (xiii) with respect to the Common Stock (including upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Offered Security), there will be sufficient Common Stock authorized under the Company's Charter Documents and not otherwise reserved for issuance.

We have also assumed that the Company and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors have complied and will comply with all aspects of the laws of all relevant jurisdictions (including the laws of the State of Delaware) in connection with the transactions contemplated by, and the performance of its obligations with respect to, the issuance of the Offered Securities. We have also assumed that the Offered Securities and each of the Indentures will be executed and delivered in substantially the form reviewed by us. In addition, we have assumed that the terms of the Offered Securities will have been established so as not to, and that the execution and delivery by the Company and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors of, and the performance of their respective obligations under, the Indentures and the Offered Securities will not, violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Charter Documents and, if applicable, the respective governing documents of the Subsidiary Guarantors, or any agreement or other instrument to which any Opinion Party or, if applicable, any of their respective properties are subject, (ii) any law, rule or regulation to which any Opinion Party is subject, (iii) any judicial or regulatory order or decree of any governmental authority, or (iv) any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority.

The foregoing opinions are qualified to the extent that the enforceability of any document, instrument or Offered Security may be limited by or subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, and general equitable or public policy principles, and (ii) with respect to any Debt Securities denominated in a currency other than United States dollars, the requirement that a claim (or a foreign currency judgment in respect of such a claim) with respect to such Debt Securities be converted to United States dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or governmental authority.

We express no opinions concerning (i) the validity or enforceability of any provisions contained in the Indentures that purport to waive or not give effect to rights to notices, defenses, subrogation or other rights or benefits that cannot be effectively waived under applicable law or (ii) the enforceability of indemnification provisions to the extent they purport to relate to liabilities resulting from or based on negligence or any violation of federal or state securities or blue sky laws.

The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to the corporate laws of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the federal laws of United States of America and we do not express any opinions as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. The Offered Securities may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis, and this opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect and to the facts as they presently exist.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto. In providing this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.
