22

(o)                                  No Stabilization . None of the Issuers, their affiliates or any person acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no covenant is given) will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities.

6.                                       Indemnification and Contribution .

(a)                                  Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers . Each of the Obligors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Communication or the

25

Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “ road show ”), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission therefrom to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Partnership in writing by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability that the Obligors may otherwise have to the Initial Purchasers or to any affiliate, director, officer or controlling person of the Initial Purchasers.

(b)                                  Indemnification of the Obligors . Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Obligors, each of their directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Issuers or any Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 6(a)  above, but only with reference to information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Partnership in writing by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum, any Additional Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any road show, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information included in the third, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum.

(c)                                   Notifications and Procedures . If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either Section 6(a)  or Section 6(b) , such person (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure; and provided , further , that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under Section 6(a)  or Section 6(b) , as applicable. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Party and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the defendants in any such proceeding include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded

26

parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) , and by the Partnership, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) .

(d)                                  Settlements . The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested that an Indemnifying Party reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 6(c) , the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

(e)                                   Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in Sections 6(a)  and 6(b)  above is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraph shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)  is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)  but also the relative fault of the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Obligors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Obligors from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the

27

Obligors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Obligors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f)                                    Limitation on Liability . The Obligors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6(e) . The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 6(e)  shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6 , in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(g)                                   Non-Exclusive Remedies . The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity.

7.                                       Termination . This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Issuers, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of any Obligor shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; (iv) material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred; or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 6 hereof and that Obligors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 9(b) .

8.                                       Defaulting Initial Purchaser . (a) If, on the Closing Date, any one or more of the Initial Purchasers defaults on its obligation to purchase Securities that it or they have

28

agreed to purchase hereunder, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule 1 bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities that such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall the principal amount of Securities that any Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 8 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount of Securities without the written consent of such Initial Purchaser.

(b)                                  If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Issuers for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or of the Issuers. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Issuers shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Time of Sale Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

(c)                                   Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Issuers or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

9.                                       Payment of Expenses . (a) The Obligors agree to pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7 or Section 8(b)  hereof, including all costs and expenses incident to (i) the cost of production and printing of documents with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including any costs of printing the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Memorandum and any Offering Memorandum and any amendment or supplement thereto, and any “Blue Sky” memoranda, (ii) all arrangements relating to the delivery to the Initial Purchasers of copies of the foregoing documents, (iii) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Obligors’ counsel and accountants in connection with the issuance and sale of the Securities, (iv) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon, (v) the qualification of the Securities under state securities and “Blue Sky” laws, including filing fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Initial Purchasers relating thereto, (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Securities, (vii) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the Obligors in connection with approval of the Securities by the DTC for “book-entry” transfer, (viii) the costs and charges of the Trustee including fees and expenses of Trustee’s

29

counsel, (ix) the costs and expenses of the Obligors in connection with presentations or meetings undertaken in connection with the offering of the Securities, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics and the production and hosting of any electronic road show, (x) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement and (xi) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Obligors hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section 9(a) .

(b)           It is understood, however, that if (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7 or Section 8(b)  hereof, (ii) the Obligors for any reason fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Obligors agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

10.          Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity (as defined below) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime (as defined below), the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)           In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate (as defined below) of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights (as defined below) under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section 10 :  (a) “ BHC Act Affiliate ” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k); (b) “ Covered Entity ” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b); (c) “ Default Right ” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and (d) “ U.S. Special Resolution Regime ” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

30

Purchaser referred to in Section 6 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

12.          Survival .  The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Obligors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Obligors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Obligors or the Initial Purchasers.

13.          No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility . The Obligors acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction among the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Obligors, (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Obligors with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Obligors on other matters) or any other obligation to the Obligors except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Obligors have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Obligors hereby waive any claims that any such entity may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty to the Obligors in connection with this offering.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Obligors and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Obligors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Obligors may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

14.          Authority of the Representatives . Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by the Representatives on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

15.          Partial Unenforceability . The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

16.          Notices . All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication.

In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Obligors, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Obligors, your counsel and your representatives at which the contents of the Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum (including the Incorporated Documents) and related matters were discussed and, although we have not independently verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in or incorporated by reference into the Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum (except as and to the extent set forth in paragraphs 6 and 7 above), on the basis of the foregoing (relying with respect to factual matters to the extent we deem appropriate upon statements by officers and other representatives of the Obligors), no facts have come to our attention that have led us to believe that (i) the Disclosure Package (including the Incorporated Documents), as of [APPLICABLE TIME] (Eastern Time) on [PRICING DATE], 2019 (which you have informed us is a time prior to the time of the first sale of the Initial Securities by the Initial Purchasers), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) the Offering Memorandum (including the Incorporated Documents), as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, it being understood that we did not participate in the preparation of the Incorporated Documents and that we express no opinion, statement or belief in this letter with respect to (i) the historical and pro forma financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon and (ii) any other financial or accounting data, included or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Offering Memorandum.

We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) applicable laws of the State of New York, (ii)  applicable laws of the United States of America, (iii) certain other specified laws of the United States of America to the extent referred to specifically herein, (iv) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (v) the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware, (vi) the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware and (vii) the Texas Business Organizations Code.  References herein to “applicable laws” mean those laws, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents, without our having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, and that are not the subject of a specific opinion herein referring expressly to a particular law or laws; provided however , that such references (including without limitation those appearing in paragraphs 4 and 5 above) do not include any municipal or other local laws, rules or regulations, or any laws, rules or regulations relating to fraud, labor, securities, tax, insurance, antitrust, money laundering, national security or the environment.

Our opinions expressed herein are subject to the following additional assumptions and qualifications:

(i)                                      The opinions set forth in paragraph 1 above as to the valid existence and good standing of the entities mentioned in such paragraph are based solely upon our review of certificates and other communications from the appropriate public officials.  In rendering such opinions with respect to any partnership or limited liability company, we have assumed that such entity has not dissolved.

(ii)                                   In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph 4 above regarding Applicable Agreements, we do not express any opinion, however, as to whether the execution or delivery by the Obligors of the Transaction Documents, or the incurrence or performance by any of the Obligors of its obligations thereunder, will constitute a violation of, or a default under or as a result of, any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to any financial ratio or test or any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of any of the Obligors.

(iii)                                The opinion set forth in paragraph 7 above with respect to United States federal income tax consequences is based upon our interpretations of current United States federal income tax law, including court authority and existing final and temporary U.S. Treasury regulations, which are subject to change both prospectively and retroactively, and upon the assumptions and qualifications discussed herein.  We note that such opinion represents merely our best legal judgment on the matters presented and that others may disagree with our conclusion.  Such opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge our conclusions.  No assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, would not adversely affect the accuracy of our conclusions.

(iv)                               Our opinions in paragraphs 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 above may be:

(1)                                  limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally; and

(2)                                  subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

(v)                                  Our opinions expressed in paragraphs 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 insofar as they pertain to any provisions of the instruments referred to in such paragraphs purporting to select New York law as governing, are rendered solely in reliance upon New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, and are expressly conditioned upon the assumption that the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of said provisions will be determined by a court of the State of New York or a United States federal court sitting in New York and applying New York choice of law rules, including said § 5-1401.  We express no opinion as to any such provision if such legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability is determined by any other court, and we call your attention to the decision of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in Lehman Brothers Commercial Corp. v. Minmetals Int’l Non-Ferrous Metals Trading Co. , 179 F. Supp. 2d 119 (S.D.N.Y. 2000), which, among other things, contains dicta relating to possible constitutional limitations upon said § 5-1401 in both domestic and international transactions.  We express no opinion as to any such constitutional limitations upon said § 5-1401 or their effect, if any, upon any opinion herein expressed.

(2)                                  providing that the assertion or employment of any right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy, or that each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy or that any delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall not impair any other right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof;

(3)                                  relating to severability or separability;

(4)                                  purporting to limit the liability of, or to exculpate, any Person, including without limitation any provision that purports to waive liability for violation of securities laws;

(8)                                  purporting to establish any obligation of any party as absolute or unconditional regardless of the occurrence or non-occurrence or existence or non-existence of any event or other state of facts;

(9)                                  purporting to obligate any party to conform to a standard that may not be objectively determinable or employing items that are vague or have no commonly accepted meaning in the context in which used;

(10)                           purporting to require the payment of liquidated damages or additional interest for failure timely to comply with obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement;

(11)                           purporting to require that all amendments, waivers and terminations be in writing or the disregard of any course of dealing or usage of trade;

(12)                           relating to consent to jurisdiction insofar as such provisions purport to confer subject matter jurisdiction upon any court that does not have such jurisdiction, whether in respect of bringing suit, enforcement of judgments or otherwise;

(13)                           purporting to limit the obligations of any party to the extent necessary to avoid such obligations constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance;

(14)                           purporting to require disregard of mandatory choice of law principles that could require application of a law other than the law expressly chosen to govern the instrument in which such provisions appear; or

(15)                           purporting to waive rights to trial by jury or rights to object to jurisdiction based on inconvenient forum.

(vii)                            In making our examination of executed documents, we have assumed (except to the extent that we expressly opine above) (1) the valid existence and good standing of each of the parties thereto, (2) that such parties had the power and authority, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other, to enter into and to incur and perform all their obligations thereunder, (3) the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other, and the due execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and (4) to the extent such documents purport to constitute agreements, that each of such documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.  In this paragraph (vii), all references to parties to documents shall be deemed to mean and include each of such parties, and each other person (if any) directly or indirectly acting on its behalf.

(viii)                         Except to the extent that we expressly opine above, we have assumed that the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, and the incurrence and performance of the obligations thereunder of the parties thereto do not and will not contravene, breach, violate or constitute a default under (with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise) (a) the certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of formation, articles of organization, certificate of limited partnership, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement, limited partnership agreement or similar organic document of any such party, (b) any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument, (c) any statute, law, rule, or regulation, (d) any judicial or administrative order or decree of any governmental authority, or (e) any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority, in each case, to which any party to the Transaction Documents or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be subject, or by which any of them may be bound or affected.  Further, we have assumed the compliance by each such party, other than the Obligors, with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to it, as well as the compliance by the each of the Obligors, and each other person (if any) directly or indirectly acting on its behalf, with all laws, rules and regulations that may be applicable to it by virtue of the particular nature of the business conducted by it or any goods or services produced or rendered by it or property owned, operated or leased by it, or any other facts pertaining specifically to it.  In this paragraph (viii), all references to parties to the Transaction Documents, other than the first such reference, shall be deemed to mean and include each of such parties, and each other person (if any) directly or indirectly acting on its behalf.

(ix)                               Without limiting the generality of our qualification in clause (1) of paragraph (iv) above, we express no opinion as to the applicability or effect of any preference, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or similar law (including, without limitation, Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or Article 10 of the New York Debtor Creditor Law) on the Transaction Documents or any transactions contemplated thereby or any opinion expressed herein.

(x)                                  We express no opinion as to Section 4.06 of the Indenture or Section 7.07(a) of the Indenture.

(xi)                               We express no opinion as to Sections 5, 8 or 12(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(xiv)                        We express no opinion as to provisions of the Transaction Documents to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety.  We advise you that certain of the guaranty and surety waivers contained in the Indenture may be unenforceable in whole or in part.

(xv)                           We have assumed that the sale of Initial Securities pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act is not a part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act.
