Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Vivint, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Vivint”), and certain affiliates of Vivint, namely:
Smart Home Pros, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Smart Home”), 313 Aviation, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“313, LLC”), and Vivint Purchasing, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“VP, LLC” and together with Vivint, Smart Home and 313, LLC, each a “Utah Guarantor” and collectively the “Utah Guarantors”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by APX Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Utah Guarantors, and the other subsidiary guarantors of APX (the “APX Subsidiary Guarantors,” and together with the Parent Guarantor and the Utah Guarantors, the “Guarantors”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Company of up to of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Exchange Securities”) and the issuance by the Guarantors of guarantees (the “Guarantees”) with respect to the Exchange Securities.
The Exchange Securities and the Guarantees thereof will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2016 (as amended to the date hereof, the “Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors named therein and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”). The Exchange Securities will be offered by the Company in exchange for $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 that were issued on August 17, 2016.
We have examined the Registration Statement and the Indenture (including the form of Exchange Security set forth therein), which has been filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also have examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors.
We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of Utah with respect to our opinions set forth in this letter. Except as described in the previous sentence, we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any other local agencies within any state. In addition, our opinions are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Indentures and the Guarantees.
