In basing the opinions set forth in this opinion on “our knowledge,” the words “our knowledge” signify that, in the course of our representation of the Texas Guarantor, no facts have come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge or actual notice that any such opinions or other matters are not accurate. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this opinion, we have undertaken no investigation or verification of such matters. Further, the words “our knowledge” as used in this opinion are intended to be limited to the actual knowledge of the attorneys within this firm who have been involved in representing the Texas Guarantor in any capacity including, but not limited to, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. We have no reason to believe that any of the documents on which we have relied contain matters which, or the assumptions contained herein, are untrue or contrary to known facts.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. With respect to the Texas Guarantees, when the New Notes are executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indentures and issued and delivered in exchange for the Outstanding Notes in the manner described in the Registration Statement, and the Texas Guarantees are executed and delivered substantially in the form examined by us, the Texas Guarantees will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Texas Guarantor.

2. Based solely on the Certificate of Existence and the Confirmation of Good Standing, the Texas Guarantor is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Texas, with power to authorize, execute and deliver the Indentures, the New Notes and the Texas Guarantees (collectively, the “Note Documents”) and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3. Each of the Note Documents to which the Texas Guarantor is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary company action on the part of the Texas Guarantor.

4. The authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents to which the Texas Guarantor is a party do not and will not violate (a) the organizational documents of the Texas Guarantor, (b) any order, judgment, writ or decree of any Texas court or other agency of government that is material to the Texas Guarantor taken as a whole and that is binding on the Texas Guarantor, or (c) any law or regulation currently in effect in the State of Texas applicable to the Texas Guarantor.

5. No registration with, consent, authorization or approval of or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Texas governmental or regulatory body by or on behalf of the Texas Guarantor is required to make valid and legally binding the execution and delivery by the Texas Guarantor of the Note Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder provided that our opinion in this Paragraph 5 is limited to those laws, statutes and governmental rules of the State of Texas of general application to business entities.
