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 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 applicable Opinion Parties 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 respective governing documents of the applicable Opinion Parties 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.

execution and delivery by the applicable Opinion Parties of each of the Indentures, any applicable supplemental indenture and each other certificate, note or executed document evidencing Offered Securities and the performance by the applicable Opinion Parties of their respective obligations thereunder will not violate or conflict with any laws of England and Wales or the State of Delaware, and (D) the applicable Opinion Parties will have otherwise complied with all aspects of the laws of England and Wales and the State of Delaware, as applicable, in connection with the issuance of the Offered Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, with respect to any series of the Debt Securities to be offered by Cardtronics Delaware or Cardtronics plc (the “Offered Debt Securities”) and any Guarantees of the Offered Debt Securities to be offered by the Opinion Parties (the “Offered Guarantees”) pursuant to the Registration Statement, when (i) the terms of the Offered Debt Securities and the Offered Guarantees and of their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the applicable Indenture (including any applicable supplemental indenture), (ii) the Offered Debt Securities and the Offered Guarantees have been offered and sold in accordance with the applicable Indenture (including any applicable supplemental indenture), the Registration Statement, including the prospectus supplement related thereto, and, if in an underwritten offering, a valid and binding purchase, underwriting or agency agreement and (iii) the applicable Indenture (including any applicable supplemental indenture) relating to the Offered Debt Securities and the Offered Guarantees has been duly executed and delivered by each party thereto and the Offered Debt Securities and the Offered Guarantees have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture (including any applicable supplemental indenture) and duly delivered to the purchasers thereof upon payment of the agreed-upon consideration therefor, the Offered Debt Securities (including any Debt Securities or Guarantees duly issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Debt Securities) and the Offered Guarantees will be binding obligations of each applicable Opinion Party, respectively.

 

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.
