Re: QVC, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-3
We have acted as special counsel to QVC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer), and the guarantors listed on Schedule I hereto (the Guarantors, and together with the Issuer, the Credit Parties), in connection with the public offering of $435,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2068 (the Notes). The Notes will be issued under the Companys Indenture, dated September 13, 2018 (the Base Indenture) between the Credit Parties and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated November 26, 2019 (together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture) between the Credit Parties and the Trustee, as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, dated November 19, 2019 (the Underwriting Agreement), between the Credit Parties and BofA Securities, Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (collectively, the Underwriters). This opinion letter is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined: (1) the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233799) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act (the Registration Statement), which Registration Statement includes the base prospectus dated as of October 3, 2019; (2) the Prospectus Supplement, dated November 19, 2019, filed in definitive form by the Company with the Commission on November 21, 2019, pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act (the Prospectus Supplement); (3) the Underwriting Agreement; (4) the Indenture; (5) the Form T-1 of the Trustee to be filed with respect to the Notes; (6) the form of the Notes and related Novations of Guarantee; (7) the organizational documents of the Credit Parties; and (8) certain resolutions adopted by the board of directors or other governing bodies of the Credit Parties relating to the issuance of the Notes and related Novations of Guarantee, the Indenture and related matters. We have also examined such records of the Credit Parties and such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Credit Parties and others, and such other
documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary to enable us to state the opinions expressed below.
In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making our examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Credit Parties, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents, and the validity and binding effect on such parties. We have also assumed, without investigation, that the Notes and related Novations of Guarantee will be in substantially the form attached to the Indenture and that any information omitted from such form will be properly added. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which we have not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Credit Parties.
In expressing the opinions set forth below, to the extent such opinions involve matters of North Carolina law, we have, with your consent and without any independent investigation, relied solely and completely on the opinion of Womble Bond Dickinson, dated the date hereof and to be filed as Exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement (the North Carolina Opinion). In expressing the opinions set forth below, to the extent such opinions involve matters of Texas law, we have, with your consent and without any independent investigation, relied solely and completely on the opinion of Jackson Walker L.L.P., dated the date hereof and to be filed as Exhibit 5.3 to the Registration Statement (the Texas Opinion).
Our opinions are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the federal laws of the United States that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the offer of Notes and, to the extent that we have relied upon the North Carolina Opinion and the Texas Opinion, the laws of the State of North Carolina and the laws of the State of Texas, respectively. We express no opinion as to the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction or the securities or blue sky laws of the various states to the offer of Notes.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to our stated assumptions, qualifications and limitations, in our opinion, when the Notes (in the form examined by us) have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and have been issued and delivered to the Underwriters against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer and the related Novations of Guarantee of the Notes by the Guarantors will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against the Issuer and the Guarantors, respectively, in
accordance with their terms, except (1) our opinion is subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (2) our opinion is subject to the effect of equitable, constitutional and public policy limitations, including, without limitation, limitations on the availability of equitable remedies and concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and other similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of agreements generally (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
We hereby consent to (i) the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K, dated November 26, 2019, (ii) the incorporation by reference of this opinion into the Registration Statement, and (iii) the use of our name under the caption Legal Matters in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are experts within the meaning of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Re: Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 Registration Statement filed by QVC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer) and the other Registrants listed therein on September 16, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), as supplemented by Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and Final Prospectus Supplement, each dated September 6, 2018 and filed by the Issuer with the Commission under the Securities Act (the Registration Statement)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as local Texas counsel to QVC San Antonio, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the Company), in connection with the public offering of $435,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2068 (the Notes). The Notes will be issued under the Issuers Indenture, dated September 13, 2018, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 26, 2019 (as supplemented, the Indenture) among the Issuer, the Company and certain other subsidiaries of the Issuer (the Company and such other subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the Guarantors and together with the Issuer, the Credit Parties) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the (1) the Indenture; (2) the forms of the Notes and related Notation of Guarantee affixed to the Notes executed by the Company in favor of the holders of the Notes; (3) the organizational documents of the Company; and (4) certain resolutions adopted by the governing body or entity of the Company relating to the Indenture, the issuance of the Notes and related Notations of Guarantee, and related matters. We have also examined certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary to enable us to state the opinions expressed below.
In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making our examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by
all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents, and the validity and binding effect on such parties. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon the representations contained in the Registration Statement and the Indenture, upon certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company.
Our opinions expressed herein are limited solely to matters governed by the laws of the State of Texas (excluding, however, securities laws and other laws which are understood as a matter of customary practice to be covered by third-party opinion letters only when they are referred to expressly). We express no opinion as to the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction or the securities or blue sky laws of the various states to the Exchange Offer.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to our stated assumptions, qualifications and limitations, in our opinion:
1. Based on (a) the Certificate dated November 12, 2019, issued by the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (b) Franchise Tax Details as of 11/14/2019 11:27:59, obtained from the website of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, a copy of the printout of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, the Company is validly existing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Texas and its Franchise Tax status (i.e. right to transact business in the State of Texas) is Active (meaning that its right to transact business in the State of Texas has not been forfeited for failure to file a franchise tax report or pay franchise taxes).
2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Indenture as a Guarantor (including its guarantee of the Notes pursuant the Notations of Guarantee affixed thereto) are within its limited liability company powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action of the Company, and do not result in a violation of any provisions of (i) the Certificate of Formation of the Company dated October 28, 2008, filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas on October 28, 2008, or (ii) the Company Agreement of the Company dated October 29, 2008.
This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof and is being delivered to you in connection with the above described transactions and may not be relied on by you for any other purpose. We consent to reliance upon this opinion letter by Sherman & Howard L.L.C. in connection with the opinion it is delivering pursuant to the Registration Statement. Further, we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are experts within the meaning of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.
