This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of RegulationS-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

In connection with this opinion, I, or a member of my staff, have examined originals, telecopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of each of the (i) Registration Statement, (ii) the Indenture pertaining to the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2024 dated as of May 31, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “2024 Notes Indenture”); the Indenture pertaining to the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2025 dated as of August 9, 2016 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “2025 Notes Indenture,” and together with the 2024 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”) and (iii) the forms of each of the New Notes, included as exhibits to the Indentures.

respective boards of directors, general partners, managers and managing members, as the case may be, statements and certificates from officers of the Schedule B Subsidiaries and such other documents and records relating to the Schedule B Subsidiaries as I have deemed appropriate. I, or a member of my staff, have also examined originals, telecopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records of the Issuers and such other agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Issuers and others, as I have deemed necessary as a basis for my opinion set forth below.

As to questions of fact material to this opinion letter, I have relied upon certificates or comparable documents or statements of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Issuers.

I have assumed (i) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing each Indenture and such other agreements, certificates or documents, (ii) the genuineness of all signatures thereon, (iii) the legal capacity of natural persons signing or delivering any agreements, certificates and documents, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and (iv) the conformity to the original of all copies, telecopies, photostatic or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

Based on the foregoing and such other investigations as I have deemed necessary and subject to the qualifications included in this letter, I am of the opinion that the New Notes and the Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Schedule B Subsidiaries.

This opinion letter is given as of the date hereof and I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to my attention or any change in laws that may hereafter occur.
