In our capacity as such counsel, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company and the Nevada Guarantors in connection with the authorization and issuance of the Securities and the Guarantees, all as referenced in the Prospectus.  For purposes of this opinion letter and except to the extent set forth in the numbered opinion paragraphs below, we have assumed that all such proceedings will be timely completed in the manner presently proposed and the terms of such issuance will be in compliance with applicable laws.

We have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Indenture, the articles of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended to date, of the Nevada Guarantors, the resolutions of the board of directors of each of the Nevada Guarantors with respect to the Indenture, and such other documents, agreements, instruments

and corporate records, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter.  We have also obtained from officers and other representatives and agents of the Company and the Nevada Guarantors and from public officials, and have relied upon, such certificates, representations and assurances as we have deemed necessary and appropriate for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in our examination, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent verification, that (i) except to the extent set forth in the numbered opinion paragraphs below, each document we have reviewed or which is referenced herein has been duly authorized and has been or will be duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto to the extent due authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof; (ii) the obligations of each party set forth in the documents we have reviewed are its valid and binding obligations, enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms; (iii) the statements of fact and representations and warranties set forth in the documents we reviewed are true and correct; (iv) each natural person executing a document has sufficient legal capacity to do so; (v) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, the signatures on all documents that we examined are genuine, and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies conform to the original documents; and (vi) all corporate records made available to us by the Nevada Guarantors, and all public records we have reviewed, are accurate and complete.

We are qualified to practice law in the State of Nevada.  The opinions set forth herein are expressly limited to and based exclusively on the general corporate laws of the State of Nevada as codified in Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“Nevada Corporate Law”), and we do not purport to be experts on, or to express any opinion with respect to the applicability or effect of, the laws of any other jurisdiction.  We express no opinion herein concerning, and we assume no responsibility as to laws or judicial decisions related to, or any orders, consents or other authorizations or approvals as may be required by, any federal laws, rules or regulations, including, without limitation, any federal securities laws, rules or regulations, any state securities or “Blue Sky” laws, rules or regulations.

1.             Each of the Nevada Guarantors is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.

2.             Each of the Nevada Guarantors has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Supplemental Indentures and perform its obligations under the Indenture, including the terms of the Guarantees set forth therein.

3.             The execution and delivery by each of the Nevada Guarantors of the Supplemental Indentures and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, including the issuance of the Guarantees by the Nevada Guarantors, have been duly authorized by each of the Nevada Guarantors.

4.             The execution and delivery by each of the Nevada Guarantors of the Supplemental Indentures and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, including the issuance of the Guarantees by the Nevada Guarantors, do not violate any Nevada Corporate Law.

The opinions expressed herein are based upon the Nevada Corporate Law and the facts in existence as of the date of this opinion letter.  In delivering this opinion letter to you, we disclaim any obligation to update or supplement the opinions set forth herein or to apprise you of any changes in such laws or facts after such time as the Registration Statement is declared effective.  No opinion is offered or implied as to any matter, and no inference may be drawn, beyond the strict scope of the specific issues expressly addressed by the opinions set forth herein.
