I have made such inquiries and reviewed such documents and records as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for my opinion. I have also examined and relied upon representations, statements and certificates of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Pennsylvania Subsidiaries.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that (i) the New Notes have been duly and validly authorized by the Company, and (ii) the Guarantee of each Pennsylvania Subsidiary has been duly and validly authorized by such Pennsylvania Subsidiary.
I express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The opinion expressed herein is based upon these laws and interpretations thereof in effect on the date hereof, and the facts and circumstances in existence on the date hereof.
