Re: Notes Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Nevada counsel for Cintas Corporation No. 2, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Cintas Corporation No. 3, a Nevada corporation (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the offering by the Company of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.450% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the “Notes”), which Notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantor, Cintas Corporation and Cintas Corporate Services, Inc., (the “Guarantees” and each, a “Guarantee”) as contemplated by a prospectus filed on August 4, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as such prospectus has been supplemented by the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated April 26, 2022.

In connection with this Opinion Letter, we have reviewed the Notes and the Guarantees. We have examined originals or copies of such corporate records and certificates of public officials as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. We have relied upon the certificates of all public and corporate officials with respect to the accuracy of all matters contained therein. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to originals of all copies of all documents submitted to us. We have not reviewed, and express no opinion as to, any instrument or agreement referred to or incorporated by reference in the Notes or the Guarantees.

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