Legal Opinion
2. Comment: We note that in the legal opinion, the firm has assumed “the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Exchange Notes, including the guarantee of each of the Guarantors set forth therein, by each of the parties thereto under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization.” While such an assumption is acceptable with respect to the Exchange Notes which have not yet been executed, the assumption is not acceptable with respect to the Indenture which has already been executed and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture are facts which may be verified and need not be assumed. Please revise the legal opinion to remove this assumption with respect to the Indenture.
Response: The legal opinion has been revised to remove the assumption with respect to the Indenture and has been filed with the Commission via EDGAR as an Exhibit to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-4.
Should you have any further questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 212-210-9595.
