dated as of December 21, 2005, by and among the Issuers, Banc of America Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co., and Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner and Smith. The Registration Rights Agreement was executed in connection with the private placement of the Original Notes.

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the Registration Statement, the Indenture, the form of Registered Note and Guarantees set forth in the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and such corporate, limited liability company and partnership records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Issuers, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of 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. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Issuers. In addition, we have assumed that the Registered Notes will be executed and delivered substantially in the form examined by us.

1. The execution, delivery and performance of the Registered Notes by each of the Company and Finance Co. has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company and corporate action on the part of each of the Company and Finance Co. When executed and delivered by the Company and Finance Co. in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture (assuming the due authentication and delivery of the Registered Notes by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture), the Registered Notes will be validly issued and will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Company and Finance Co., enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the guarantees by each of the Guarantors have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or partnership action on the part of each of the Guarantors. When executed and delivered by the
