(d)The Administration Agreement;

(e)The Asset Representations Review Agreement (the documents identified in paragraphs (b) through (e) above being collectively referred to herein as the “Trust Documents”);

(g)The Notes being issued by the Trust on the date hereof (the “Notes”);

(h)A certified copy of the certificate of trust of the Trust (the “Certificate of Trust”), which was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) on September 16, 2024;

(i)A certificate of an officer of the Owner Trustee; and

(j)A Certificate of Good Standing for the Trust, dated September 16, 2024, obtained from the Secretary of State.

We have not reviewed any documents other than the foregoing documents for purposes of rendering our opinions as expressed herein, and we have assumed that there exists no provision of any such other document that bears upon or is inconsistent with our opinions as expressed herein.  We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but 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.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that:

1.The Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, 12 Del. C. § 3801, et seq. (the “Act”).

2.The Trust has the power and authority, pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Act, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Trust Documents, to issue the Notes and the Certificate and to grant the Trust Estate pursuant to the Indenture.  

3.The Trust Agreement authorizes the Trust to execute and deliver the Trust Documents, to issue the Notes and the Certificate and to grant the Trust Estate pursuant to the Indenture.  The Trust has duly executed and delivered the Trust Documents. The Notes have been duly executed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee.  The Certificate has been duly executed and, when authenticated and delivered to the Depositor in accordance with the Trust Agreement, will be validly issued and entitled to the benefits of the Trust Agreement.

4.Under the Act, the Trust is a separate legal entity and the Trust rather than the Certificateholder will hold whatever title to the Trust property as may be conveyed to it from time to time, except to the extent that the Trust has taken action to dispose of or otherwise transfer or encumber any part of the Trust property.

5.Under Section 3805(b) of the Act, no creditor of the Certificateholder shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Trust except in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

6.The Trust Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, enforceable against the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:

A.The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Delaware currently in effect.  We express no opinion with respect to (i) federal laws, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the United States Corporate Transparency Act or any similar statute of any other jurisdiction, (ii) state insurance, tax, pension or employee benefit plan, securities or blue sky laws, or (iii) laws, rules and regulations relating to the particular nature of the Trust assets.

H.With respect to the Trust Agreement, we express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of provisions that purport to (i) restrict any right that a party may have to apply for a judicial dissolution of the Trust, (ii) impose transfer restrictions on the Certificateholders to the extent that a transfer occurs by operation of law or (iii) bind a Person that is not a party to the Trust Agreement.

This opinion may be relied upon by you in connection with the matters set forth herein.  Without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be relied upon by or furnished to any other person or entity for any purpose; provided, however, copies of this opinion may be posted by the Administrator to a password protected website accessible by any non-hired “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (an “NRSRO”) that provides to the Administrator the certification required by subsection (e) of Rule 17g-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or any successor provision to such subsection) (“Rule 17g-5”), and agrees to keep this opinion confidential as contemplated by Rule 17g-5; provided, that no such NRSRO will be entitled to rely on this opinion, and each such NRSRO, by accessing a copy
