In connection with this opinion, we have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined originals or certified, conformed, electronic or reproduction copies of such agreements, instruments, documents and records of the Company and the Guarantors, such certificates of public officials and such other documents and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of the Company, the Guarantors and others, in each case as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. We have examined, among other documents, the following:

(a)

the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws of the Company,

(b)

the organizational documents of the DE Guarantors,

(c)

the Registration Statement,

(d)

the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,

(e)

the Underwriting Agreement,

(f)

the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture,

(g)

the Notes in global form as executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee, and

(h)

the form of Officers’ Certificates to be delivered pursuant to Section 13.03 of the Base Indenture.

The documents referred to in items (a) through (h) above, inclusive, are referred to herein collectively as the “Documents.”

In all such examinations, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of original and certified documents and the conformity to original or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed, electronic or reproduction copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon, and assume the accuracy of, the statements, representations and warranties contained in the Documents, certificates and oral or written statements and other information of or from public officials, officers or other appropriate representatives of the Company, the Guarantors and others and assume compliance on the part of all parties to the Documents with their respective covenants and agreements contained therein.

All assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation or verification on our part and we express no opinion with respect to the subject matter or accuracy of such assumptions or items relied upon.

To the extent it may be relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed that (i) all of the parties to the Documents (other than the Company and the DE Guarantors) are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization; (ii) the parties to the Documents (other than the Company and the DE Guarantors) have the power and authority to (a) execute and deliver the Documents, (b) perform their obligations thereunder and (c) consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; (iii) each of the Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto (other than the Company and

the DE Guarantors), (iv) each of the Documents constitutes a valid and binding obligation of all of the parties thereto (other than as expressly addressed below as to the Company and the Guarantors), enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms; (v) all of the parties to the Documents will comply with all of their obligations under the Documents and all laws applicable thereto; (vi) the Notes have been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and (vii) the opinion letter dated the date hereof of Matthew D. Klein, Senior Vice President and General Counsel to the Company, regarding this issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees is accurate.

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

1.	The Notes are legally issued and constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

2.	The Guarantees constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

The foregoing opinions regarding the enforceability of the Notes and the Guarantees (collectively, the “Opinion Documents”) are subject to the following:

(i)

The enforceability of the Opinion Documents may be limited or affected by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, rearrangement, probate, conservatorship, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws (including court decisions) now or hereafter in effect and affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally or providing for the relief of debtors generally, (b) the refusal of a particular court to grant (i) equitable remedies, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, specific performance and injunctive relief, or (ii) a particular remedy sought under any Opinion Document as opposed to another remedy provided for therein or another remedy available at law, admiralty or in equity, (c) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such remedies are sought in a proceeding in equity, admiralty or at law), and (d) judicial discretion.

(ii)

In rendering the foregoing opinions, we express no opinion as to (a) the availability of certain equitable remedies, including specific performance; (b) provisions in the Opinion Documents that purport to (i) restrict access to legal or equitable remedies, (ii) establish property classifications, presumptions or evidentiary standards, or (iii) waive or affect rights or defenses of any party that may not be waived or affected under applicable law, (c) provisions in the Opinion Documents relating to severability clauses, (d) provisions in the Opinion Documents relating to indemnities and rights of contribution to the extent prohibited by public policy or which might require indemnification or contribution for losses or expenses caused by negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or illegality of a party otherwise entitled to indemnification or contribution, and (e) the effect of any provision of the Opinion Documents which is intended to permit modification thereof only by means of an agreement signed in writing by the parties thereto.

(iii)

We note that the enforceability of specific provisions of the Opinion Documents may be subject to standards of reasonableness, care and diligence and “good faith” limitations and obligations such as those provided in Sections 1-302(b), 1-303, 1-304 and 1-309 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and applicable principles of common law and judicial decisions.

(iv)	We have assumed that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will enforce and perform each Opinion Document in compliance with the provisions thereof and all requirements of applicable law.

(v)

In connection with any provisions of the Opinion Documents whereby the Company or any Guarantor submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1332 on Federal court jurisdiction, and we also note that such submissions cannot supersede such court’s discretion in determining whether to transfer an action from one Federal court to another under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).

(vi)	With respect to the valid existence and good standing of the Company and the DE Guarantors, we have relied solely upon certificates of public officials in the State of Delaware, without further investigation.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York and to the extent relevant to the opinions expressed herein, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the state of Delaware, each as currently in effect, and no opinion is expressed with respect to any other laws or any effect that such other laws may have on the opinions expressed herein. This opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. This letter is given only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no responsibility to update or supplement this letter after such time.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission on the date hereof and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Very truly yours,
