The Exchange Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal, premium and interest (the “Guarantees”) by the Guarantors and other guarantors identified in the Indenture identified below. The Exchange Notes and the Guarantees will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of March 28, 2012 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Guarantors, Cenveo Corp, the other guarantors identified therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). This opinion is being furnished to you for your use in the opinion to be delivered by you (the “Cenveo 5.1 Opinion”) as an exhibit to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) registering the exchange of the Exchange Notes and Guarantees for notes and guarantees issued in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Act (the “Registration Statement”).
In connection with rendering this opinion, we have examined originals or copies of (1) the Indenture, including the forms of the Exchange Notes, which includes the form of Guarantees, (2) the articles of incorporation and bylaws of each of the Guarantors that is a corporation (“Corporate Guarantors”) and the articles of formation and operating agreement of each of the Guarantors that is a limited liability company (“LLC Guarantors”), (3) the resolutions of the board of directors or other governing body of each Guarantor, and (4) such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary and relevant for purposes hereof. In addition, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Guarantors and of public officials as to certain matters of fact relating to this opinion and have made such investigations of law as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis hereof. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, certificates and records submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents, certificates and records of all documents, certificates and records submitted to us as copies, and the truthfulness of all statements of fact contained therein. We have also assumed that (i) the directors of each Corporate Guarantor or the members of each other governing body of each LLC Guarantor have been duly elected or appointed, (ii) the persons executing the Guarantees on behalf of each
