(iv)  The Transaction Documents, the Initial Notes, and the Initial Guarantees constitute or will constitute the valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms, and funds have been advanced under the Initial Notes and are being advanced under the Exchange Notes;

(v)   Each natural person executing the Transaction Documents or any other document referred to herein is legally competent to do so;

(vi)   Each document submitted to us for review is accurate and complete, each such document that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy or a draft conforms to an authentic original, and all signatures on each such document are genuine;

(vii)  There are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define the terms of, supplement, amend, modify, terminate, release, or satisfy the Transaction Documents;

(viii) Each person who has taken any action relevant to any of our opinions in the capacity of director or officer was duly elected or appointed to or otherwise occupied that director or, officer position and held that position when such action was taken;

This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on such internal law of the state of Arizona that, in our experience, is normally applicable both to entities that are not engaged in regulated business activities and to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents and to the parties thereto, without our having made any special investigation concerning any other law, rule, or regulation (“Applicable Law”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, and in some cases in addition thereto, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, we express no opinion as to: (a) any law, rule, or regulation relating to (i) taxation, usury, choice-of-law provisions, antitrust or trade regulation, banking, securities, or labor or employee rights and benefits laws, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; (ii) corrupt practices, including, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iii) the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. app. I et seq., or any other law, rule or regulation designed to combat terrorism or money laundering; and (b) laws, rules, or regulations of any county, municipality, or similar political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

Our opinion on each legal issue addressed herein represents our judgment concerning how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court of the jurisdiction upon whose law our opinion on that issue is based. The manner in which any particular issue would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case, and our opinions are not a guaranty of an outcome of any legal dispute which may arise with regard to the Transaction Documents.

This opinion letter speaks as of the date hereof. We disclaim any obligation to provide you with any subsequent opinion or advice by reason of any future changes or events which may affect or alter any opinion rendered herein. Our opinion letter is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or to be inferred beyond the matters stated herein.

This opinion letter is being delivered to you and may be relied upon by you and by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP in connection with the Registration Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included within 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 issued thereunder.
