Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

(2) The Company has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Notes and the Indenture.
I am a member of the bar of the State of Ohio. I do not express any opinion herein on any laws other than the law of the State of Ohio.

I also hereby consent to the reference to my name under the heading Legal Matters in the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement.
