We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects.
With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed that (i) all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, (ii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, (iii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform with the original copies of those documents and (iv) the documents, in the forms submitted to us for our review, have not been and will not be altered or amended in any respect material to our opinions expressed herein.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the LLCs of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not violate (i) its LLC Agreement, or (ii) the LLC Act.
5. The Partnership is validly existing in good standing as a limited partnership under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (6 Del. C. § 17-101, et seq.) (the “LP Act”).

B. We express no opinion as to purported waivers of any statutory or other rights, court rules and defenses to obligations where such waivers (i) are against public policy or (ii) constitute waivers of rights which by law, regulation or judicial decision may not otherwise be waived.
We understand that you will rely as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion in connection with the matters set forth herein. In connection with the foregoing, we hereby consent to your relying as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion, subject to the understanding that the opinions rendered herein are given on the date hereof and such opinions are rendered only with respect to facts existing on the date hereof and laws, rules and regulations currently in effect.
