We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records, agreements and instruments of the Opinion Subsidiary, certificates of public officials and officers or other appropriate representatives of the Opinion Subsidiary, and such other documents, records and instruments, and we have made such legal and factual inquiries, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for us to render the opinions hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the Transaction Documents and the foregoing, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied without independent investigation as to matters of fact upon statements of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to certificates and statements of appropriate representatives of the Opinion Subsidiary.

In connection herewith, we have assumed that, other than with respect to the Opinion Subsidiary, all of the documents referred to in this opinion will have been duly authorized by, will have been duly executed and delivered by, and will constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties thereto, all of the signatories to such documents will have been duly authorized by all such parties, and all such parties are will be duly organized and validly existing and will have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.

Based upon the foregoing, in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, comments, qualifications, limitations and exceptions stated herein and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Opinion Subsidiary is a limited liability company, duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

(g) We express no opinion as to whether a subsidiary may guarantee or otherwise be liable for indebtedness incurred by its parent except to the extent that such subsidiary may be determined to have benefited from the incurrence of the indebtedness by its parent or whether such benefit may be measured other than by the extent of which the proceeds of the indebtedness incurred by its parent are, directly or indirectly, made available to such subsidiary for its corporate or other analogous purpose.
