In making our examination of documents executed by parties other than the Company and the Guarantor, we have assumed (a) that such parties had the power, corporate or other, and authority to enter into and perform all their obligations thereunder, (b) the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity, binding and enforceable effect thereof in accordance with their respective terms and (c) that the Trustee is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations.

In rendering the opinion contained herein, we have assumed that the Notes and Guarantees will be delivered by the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with applicable laws and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement.

Based upon the foregoing assumptions and the assumptions set forth below, and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated herein, having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that when the Notes have been duly authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, (i) the Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and (ii) the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with their terms.

The foregoing opinions as to enforceability of obligations of the Company and the Guarantor is subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, liquidation, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by the application of general principles of equity (whether applied by a court in equity or at law) and the discretion of the court before which any proceedings therefor may be brought (such principles of equity are of general application, and in applying such principles, a court may include a covenant of good faith and fair dealing and apply concepts of reasonableness, mutuality and materiality); (ii) requirements that a judgment for money damages rendered by a court in the United States be expressed only in U.S. dollars; and (iii) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments outside the United States or in foreign currency or composite currency. Rights to indemnification and contribution may also be limited by Federal and state securities laws.

The opinion expressed above is limited to questions arising under the law of the State of New York and the Delaware General Corporation Law. We do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision in any agreement or instrument that (i) requires or relates to payment of any interest at a rate or in an amount which a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or a forfeiture or (ii) relates to governing law and submission by the parties to the jurisdiction of one or more particular courts.
