2. Each Company’s guarantee of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as the case may be, and the Indenture has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Companies.

For purposes of expressing the opinions herein, we have examined the laws of the State of Washington and the State of Texas, and our opinions are limited to such laws.

The opinions expressed herein (a) are limited to matters expressly stated herein, and no other opinions may be implied or inferred and (b) are as of the date hereof (except as otherwise noted above).
