The Registration Statement relates to the registration under the Act of:

The Sysco Corporation Securities, the Sysco Holdings Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees (together, the “Securities”) are being registered for offering and sale from time to time as provided by Rule 415 under the Act.

The Sysco Corporation Senior Debt Securities, the Sysco Holdings Senior Debt Securities and the related Guarantees are to be issued under either (a) the base indenture, dated as of June 15, 1995 (as supplemented, the “Existing Senior Debt Indenture”), between Sysco Corporation and First Union National Bank of North Carolina, as trustee or (b) a base indenture to be entered into by and among Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (“USBNA”), in each case, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture to be entered into by and among Sysco Corporation and/or Sysco Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and the applicable trustee (in each case, as supplemented, a “Senior Debt Indenture”).

The Sysco Corporation Subordinated Debt Securities, the Sysco Holdings Subordinated Debt Securities and the related Guarantees are to be issued under either (a) a base indenture to be entered into by and among Sysco Corporation and a trustee named therein or (b) a base indenture to be entered into by and among Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and the USBNA, in each case, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture to be entered into by and among Sysco Corporation and/or Sysco Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto and the USBNA (as supplemented, a “Subordinated Debt Indenture” and, together with each of the Senior Debt Indentures, the “Indentures”).

In connection with the furnishing of this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents:

1.                  the Registration Statement; and

2.                  the Indentures (including the form of Securities included therein) attached as Exhibits 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d) to the Registration Statement.

In addition, we have examined (i) such corporate and limited liability company records of Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor, organized in the State of Delaware or California that we have considered appropriate, including a copy of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or operating agreement, in each case as amended, of Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and each such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, certified by Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and each such Subsidiary Guarantor as in effect on the date of this letter, and copies of resolutions of the board of directors, managers, or other equivalent governing body of Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and such Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, relating to the issuance of the Securities certified by Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and each Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and (ii) such other certificates, agreements and documents that we deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. We have also relied upon the factual matters contained in the representations and warranties of Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors made in the documents reviewed by us and upon certificates of public officials and the officers of Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

In our examination of the documents referred to above, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies of valid existing agreements or other documents, the authenticity of all such latter documents and that the statements regarding matters of fact in the certificates, records, agreements, instruments and documents that we have examined are accurate and complete.

We have also assumed, without independent investigation, that (i) the Existing Senior Debt Indenture has been, and the Indentures other than the Existing Senior Debt Indenture will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties to them in substantially the forms filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement, and the Indentures will be duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (ii) any other agreement entered into, or officer’s certificates, resolutions of board of directors, board of managers or other equivalent governing body, as applicable, delivered, in connection with the issuance of the Securities will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties to such agreements (such agreements and documents, together with the Indentures, are referred to collectively as the “Operative Agreements”), (iii) each Operative Agreement, when so authorized, executed and delivered, will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto (other than Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and Subsidiary Guarantors), (iv) the Operative Agreements will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, (v) each Subsidiary Guarantor that is not incorporated or organized in the State of Delaware or California (collectively, the “Non-Delaware/CA Entities”) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, (vi) each Non-Delaware/CA Entity has all corporate or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, the Operative Agreements and the Securities, (vii) the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Agreements and the Securities by each Non-Delaware/CA Entity does not violate any organizational documents of such Non-Delaware/CA Entity or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and (viii) the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Agreements and the Securities and issuance of the Securities do not conflict with or constitute a breach of the terms of any agreement or instrument to which Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors is subject or violate applicable law or contravene any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

With respect to the Securities of a particular series or issuance, we have assumed that (i) the issuance, sale, number or amount, as the case may be, and terms of the Securities to be offered from time to time will be duly authorized and established, in accordance with the organizational documents of Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors, the laws of the State of New York and their jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, as the case may be, and any applicable Operative Agreement, (ii) prior to the issuance of a series of Sysco Corporation Preferred Stock, an appropriate certificate of designation or board resolution relating to such series of Sysco Corporation Preferred Stock will have been duly authorized by Sysco Corporation and filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, (iii) the Securities will be duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered by Sysco Corporation, Sysco Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, and, in the case of the Sysco Corporation Debt Securities and Sysco Holdings Debt Securities, duly authenticated or delivered by the applicable trustee, in each case, against payment by the purchaser at the agreed-upon consideration, and (iv) the Securities will be issued and delivered as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus supplement.
