B. Our opinions set forth above in paragraphs 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are subject to (i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers), (ii) general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. With respect to such opinions, we express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of (y) any waiver of stay, extension or usury laws or of unknown future rights; or (z) provisions relating to indemnification, exculpation or contribution, to the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to federal or state securities laws.

C. We have assumed that each Florida Guarantor is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Florida; and each Florida Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture and its respective Guarantee.

D. We have further assumed without independent investigation that the operating agreement or limited partnership agreement of each of the Guarantors that is a Delaware limited liability company or Delaware limited partnership constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; to the extent our opinion in paragraph 1 above is dependent on the interpretation of such agreement, it is based on the plain meaning of the provisions thereof in light of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable. Without limitation, we do not express any opinion regarding any Delaware contract law.

E. This opinion is limited to the current laws of the States of Arizona and California, the current federal laws of the United States, and to the limited extent set forth herein, the current laws of the State of Delaware, and to the current judicial interpretations thereof and to the facts as they exist on the date hereof. We are not admitted to practice law in the State of Delaware, but we are generally familiar with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, each as currently in effect, and have made such inquiries as we considered necessary to render our opinion. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement our opinions should the present laws, or the interpretation thereof, be changed in respect of any circumstances or events that occur subsequent to the date hereof.

You have informed us that you intend to issue Securities from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis, and this opinion is limited to the laws referred to above as in effect on the date hereof. We understand that prior to issuing any Securities pursuant to the Registration

Statement (i) you will advise us in writing of the terms thereof and (ii) you will afford us an opportunity to (y) review the operative documents pursuant to which such Securities are to be issued or sold (including the applicable Offering Documents) and (z) file such supplement or amendment to this opinion (if any) as we may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby concede that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
