In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photocopied copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors and others and of public officials, including the facts and conclusions set forth in the Secretary’s Certificate and the factual representations and warranties contained in the Underwriting Agreement.

We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the laws of the State of New York, (ii) the federal laws of the United States of America, (iii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and (iv) the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”) (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Opined-on Law”).

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.                 When duly authenticated by the Trustee and issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, the Note Certificates will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms under the laws of the State of New York.

2.                 The Guarantee of each Opinion Party has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, action on the part of such Opinion Party under the DGCL or the DLLCA, as applicable, and, when the Note Certificates are duly authenticated by the Trustee and are issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, each Guarantee will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the applicable Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York.

The opinions stated herein are subject to the following assumptions and qualifications:

(a)               we do not express any opinion with respect to the effect on the opinions stated herein of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other similar laws or governmental orders affecting creditors’ rights generally, and the opinions stated herein are limited by such laws and governmental orders and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

(b)               we do not express any opinion with respect to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to any party to any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any such party or any of its affiliates as a result of the specific assets or business operations of such party or such affiliates;

(c)               except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, we have assumed that each of the Transaction Documents constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each party to such Transaction Document, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms;

(d)               we do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any provision contained in any Transaction Document relating to any indemnification, contribution, non-reliance, exculpation, release, limitation or exclusion of remedies, waiver or other provisions having similar effect that may be contrary to public policy or violative of federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, or to the extent any such provision purports to, or has the effect of, waiving or altering any statute of limitations;

(e)               we do not express any opinion whether the execution or delivery of any Transaction Document by the Company or any Guarantor, or the performance by the Company or any Guarantor of its obligations under any Transaction Document to which the Company or such Guarantor is a party will constitute a violation of, or a default under, any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to financial ratios or tests or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(f)                the opinions stated herein are limited to the agreements and documents specifically identified in the opinions contained herein (the “Specified Documents”) without regard to any agreement or other document referenced in any Specified Document (including agreements or other documents incorporated by reference or attached or annexed thereto) and without regard to any other agreement or document relating to any Specified Document that is not a Transaction Document;

(i)                 we call to your attention that irrespective of the agreement of the parties to any Transaction Document, a court may decline to hear a case on grounds of forum non conveniens or other doctrine limiting the availability of such court as a forum for resolution of disputes; in addition, we call to your attention that we do not express any opinion with respect to the subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States of America in any action arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document;

(j)                 we do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of Section 10.01 of the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture to the extent that such section provides that the obligations of the Guarantors are absolute and unconditional irrespective of the enforceability or genuineness of the Indenture or the effect thereof on the opinions herein stated;

(k)               we do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of the provisions contained in Section 10.02 of the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture to the extent that such provisions limit the obligations of the Guarantors under the Indenture or any right of contribution of any party with respect to the obligations of the Guarantors under the Indenture;

(l)                 to the extent that any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions contained in any Transaction Document, the opinions stated herein are subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be subject to, in each case, (i) the exceptions and limitations in New York General Obligations Law Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 and (ii) principles of comity and constitutionality; and

(m)             we have assumed that the choice of Euro as the currency in which the Securities are denominated does not contravene any exchange control or other laws of the European Union, and further we call to your attention that a court may not award a judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars.

In addition, in rendering the foregoing opinions we have also assumed that, at all applicable times:

(a)               each Non-Opinion Party (i) was duly incorporated or formed, as applicable, and was validly existing and in good standing, (ii) had requisite legal status and legal capacity under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, as applicable, and (iii) has complied and will comply with all aspects of the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or formation, as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by, and the performance of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents to which such Non-Opinion Party is a party;

(d)               neither the execution and delivery by the Company and each Guarantor of the Transaction Documents to which the Company or each Guarantor is a party nor the performance by the Company and each Guarantor of its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents: (i) conflicted or will conflict with the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, or any other comparable organizational document of the Company or any Guarantor, (ii) constituted or will constitute a violation of, or a default under, any lease, indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor or its property is subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (ii) with respect to those agreements or instruments expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New York which are listed in Part II of the Registration Statement or the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K), (iii) contravened or will contravene any order or decree of any governmental authority to which the Company or any Guarantor or its property is subject, or (iv) violated or will violate any law, rule or regulation to which the Company or any Guarantor or its property is subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (iv) with respect to the Opined-on Law);

(e)               neither the execution and delivery by the Company or any Guarantor of the Transaction Documents to which the Company or such Guarantor is a party nor the performance by the Company and such Guarantor of its obligations thereunder, including the issuance and sale of the Securities, required or will require the consent, approval, licensing or authorization of, or any filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority under any law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction; and

Further, we have assumed that each such Opinion Party has, and since the time of its formation has had, at least one validly admitted and existing member of such Opinion Party and (i) no procedures have been instituted for, and no other event has occurred, including, without limitation, any action taken by any such Opinion Party or its respective Board of Managers or members, as applicable, that would result in, the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of such Opinion Party, (ii) no event has occurred that has adversely affected the good standing of any such Opinion Party under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, and each such Opinion Party has taken all actions required by the laws of its jurisdiction of formation to maintain such good standing and (iii) no grounds exist for the revocation or forfeiture of any such Opinion Party’s certificate of formation.
