Further, we express no opinion on the sufficiency or accuracy of any registration or offering documentation relating to the Trust, the Company or the Debt Securities. As to any facts material to our opinion, other than those assumed, we have relied, without independent investigation, on the above referenced documents and on the accuracy, as of the date hereof, of the factual matters therein contained. In addition, we note that the Indenture is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware and, for purposes of our opinions set forth below, we have assumed that the Indenture will be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of the written terms thereof as such terms would be interpreted as a matter of Delaware law and we express no opinion with respect to any legal standards or concepts under any laws other than those of the State of Delaware.

1.    The Trust is a duly formed and validly existing statutory trust in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2.    The Company is a duly formed and validly existing limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
