In the event that any parts or accessories forming part of any portion or portions of the Collateral become worn out, lost, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise rendered unfit for use, Les see, at its own expense and expeditiously, will replace or cause the replacement of such parts or accessories by replacement parts or accessories free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and with a value and utility at least equal to that of the parts or accessories being replaced (assuming that such replaced parts and accessories were otherwise in good working order and repair). All such replacement parts and accessories shall be deemed to be incorporated immediately into and to constitute an integral portion of the Collateral and, as such, shall be subject to the terms of this Lease Agreement. Neither Bondholder nor Issuer shall have any responsibility in any of these matters, or for the making of improvements or additions to the Collateral.

(b) Lessee will defend the Equipment against all claims or demands of all persons (other than Bondholder) claiming the Equipment or any interest therein.

(c) Lessee will keep the Equipment free and clear of all security interests, liens and encumbrances except the security interest created pursuant to this Lease Agreement.

Section 7.06. Insurance.

(a) Lessee shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain continuously in effect: (i) public liability insurance for personal injuries, death or damage to or loss of property arising out of or in any way relating to the Collateral sufficient to protect Bondholder and Issuer from liability in all events, with a coverage limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence unless a different coverage minimum with respect to particular collateral is required by Bondholder, and (ii) insurance against such hazards as Bondholder may require, including, but not limited to, all- risk casualty and property insurance, in an amount equal to the greater of the full replacement cost of the Collateral with new collateral having substantially similar specifications or the applicable Prepayment Amount.

(b) If required by State law, Lessee shall carry workers’ compensation insurance covering all employees on, in, near or about the Collateral, and upon request, shall furnish to Bondholder certificates evidencing such coverage.

(c) All insurance policies required by this Article shall be taken out and maintained with insurance companies acceptable to Bondholder and to Issuer; and shall contain a provision that the insurer shall not cancel or revise coverage thereunder without giving written notice to the insured parties at least 30 days before the cancellation or revision becomes effective. No insurance shall be subject to any co-insurance clause. Each insurance policy required by this

Article shall name Bondholder and the Issuer as an additional insured party and loss payee without regard to any breach of warranty or other act or omission of Lessee and shall include a lender’s loss payable endorsement for the benefit of Bondholder. Prior to the issuance of the Bond, Lessee shall deposit with Bond Counsel, for the benefit of Bondholder and the Issuer, evidence satisfactory to Bondholder of such insurance and, prior to the expiration thereof, shall provide Bondholder evidence of all renewals or replacements thereof.

(d) As among Bondholder, Lessee and Issuer, Lessee assumes all risks and liabilities

from any cause whatsoever, whether or not covered by insurance, for loss or damage to any of the Collateral and for injury to or death of any person or damage to any property, whether such injury or death be with respect to agents or employees of Lessee or of third parties, and whether such property damage be to Lessee’s property or the property of others. Whether or not covered by insurance, Lessee hereby assumes responsibility for and agrees to reimburse Bondholder and Issuer for and will indemnify, defend and hold Bondholder and Issuer harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatsoever kind and nature, imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Bondholder or Issuer that in any way relate to or arise out of this Lease Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the Project and the Collateral, including but not limited to, (i) the selection, manufacture, purchase, acceptance or rejection of the Collateral or the ownership of the Collateral, (ii) the delivery, lease, possession, maintenance, use, condition, return or operation of the Collateral, (iii) the condition of the Collateral sold or otherwise disposed of after possession by Lessee, (iv) any patent or copyright infringement, (v) the conduct of Lessee, its officers, employees and agents, (vi) a breach of Lessee of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder and (vii) any claim, loss, cost or expense involving alleged damage to the environment relating to the Collateral, including, but not limited to investigation, removal, cleanup and remedial costs. All amounts payable by Lessee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid immediately upon demand of Issuer or Bondholder, as the case may be. This provision shall survive the termination of this Lease Agreement.

Section 7.07. Preservation of Corporate Existence. Lessee will preserve and maintain its corporate existence and all of its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business; and shall conduct its business in an orderly, efficient and regular manner.

Section 7.08. Performance by Bondholder. If Lessee at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants or agreements contained in any Lessee Document, and if such failure shall continue for a period of 10 calendar days after Bondholder gives Lessee written notice thereof (or in the case of the agreements contained in Sections 7.05 and 7.06 hereof, immediately upon the occurrence of such failure, without notice or lapse of time), Bondholder may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Lessee (or, at Bondholder’s option, in Bondholder’s name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which Bondholder may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of security interests, liens or encumbrances, the performance of obligations owed to account debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments); and Lessee shall thereupon pay to Bondholder on demand the amount of all moneys expended and all costs and

expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Bondholder in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Bondholder, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. To facilitate the performance or observance by Bondholder of such covenants of Lessee, Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Bondholder, or the delegate of Bondholder, acting alone, as the attorney in fact of Lessee with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of Lessee any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance an d other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Lessee under this Lease Agreement.

Except as provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.08 hereof, Issuer will not sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its interest in any part of the Equipment (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions); provided, however, Issuer may, if required by a change in law, transfer its interest therein to a successor governmental entity that assumes, by operation of law or otherwise, all of Issuer’s obligations hereunder. Lessee will not sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial part of its assets or of any of the Equipment or any interest therein (whether in o ne transaction or in a series of transactions).

Section 8.05. Modifications and Substitutions.

modifications and additions and repair the Collateral as necessary to return the Collateral to the condition in which it was furnished, ordinary wear and tear and permitted modifications excepted.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Section, Lessee may, with the prior written consent of Bondholder, substitute for parts, elements, portions or all of the Collateral, other parts, elements, portions, equipment or facilities; provided, however, that any substitutions made pursuant to Lessee’s obligations to make repairs referenced under any provision of this Lease Agreement shall not require such prior written consent. Lessee shall provide such documents or assurances as Bondholder may reasonably request to maintain or confirm the security interest assigned to Bondholder in the Collateral as so modified or su bstituted.

Section 8.06. Use of the Equipment. Each of Lessee and Issuer agree that it will not install, use, operate or maintain the Equipment improperly, carelessly, in violation of any applicable law or in a manner contrary to that contemplated by this Lease Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

Lessee shall provide a complete written report to Bondholder immediately upon any loss, theft, damage or destruction of any Collateral and of any accident involving any Collateral. With respect to any Damaged Collateral, Lessee shall as soon as practicable after such event either: (a) replace the same at Lessee’s sole cost and expense with collateral having substantially similar specifications and of equal or greater value to the Damaged Collateral immediately prior to the time of the loss occurrence, such replacement collateral to be subject to Bondholder’s approval, whereupon such replacement collateral shall be substituted in this Lease Agreement and the other related documents by appropriate endorsement or amendment; or (b) pay the Damaged Collateral Amount.

This Lease Agreement, and the obligations of Lessee to make payments hereunder, may be assigned and reassigned in whole or in part to one or more assignees or subassignees (who shall be purchaser of the Bond or an interest therein) by Bondholder at any time subsequent to its execution, without the necessity of obtaining the consent of Issuer or Lessee; provided, however, that no such assignment or reassignment shall be effective unless and until (a) Issuer and Lessee shall have received notice of the assignment or reassignment disclosing the name and address of the assignee or subassignee, which notice Issuer shall maintain as evidence of the ownership and registration of the Bond, and (b) in the event that such assignment or reassignment is made to a bank or trust company as trustee for holders of certificates representing interests in this Lease Agreement and the Bond, such bank or trust company agrees to maintain, or cause to be maintained, a book-entry system by which a record of the names and addresses of such holders as of any particular time is kept and agrees, upon request of Issuer or Lessee, to furnish such information to Issuer or Lessee. Upon receipt of notice of assignment, Lessee will reflect in a book-entry the assignee designated in such notice of assignment, and shall agree to make all payments to the assignee designated in the notice of assignment, notwithstanding any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever (whether arising from a breach of this Lease Agreement or otherwis e) that Issuer and Lessee may from time to time have against Bondholder or the assignee. Issuer and Lessee agree to execute all documents, including replacement bonds, notices of assignment and chattel mortgages, which may be reasonably requested by Bondholder or its assignee to protect their interest in the Collateral and in this Lease Agreement.

Section 11.01. Events of Default. The following constitute “Events of Default” under this Lease Agreement:

(b) failure by Lessee to maintain insurance in accordance with Section 7.06 hereof;

(d) failure by Lessee or Issuer to observe and perform any other covenant, condition or agreement contained in any Lessee Document or in any other document or agreement executed in connection herewith on its part to be observed or performed for a period of 30 days after written notice is given to Lessee or Issuer, as the case may be, specifying such failure and directing that it be remedied; provided, however, that, if the failure stated in such notice cannot be corrected within such 30-day period, Bondholder will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by Les see or Issuer, as the case may be, within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected;

Section 11.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever an Event of Default described in Section 11.01(f) hereof shall have occurred, the Prepayment Amount automatically shall be due and payable, whereupon the Prepayment Amount automatically shall become and be forthwith due and payable without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Lessee. Whenever any Event of Default shall have occurred, Bondholder shall have the right, at its sole option without any further demand or notice, to take any one or any combination of the following remedial steps insofar as the same are available to sec ured parties under Article 9 of the UCC in effect in the State from time to time and which are otherwise accorded to Bondholder by applicable law:

(a) by notice to Issuer and Lessee, declare the Prepayment Amount to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Prepayment Amount shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Lessee;

(c) take possession of the Collateral wherever situated, without any court order or other process of law and without liability for entering the premises, and sell the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner. All proceeds from such sale shall be applied in the following manner:

THIRD, to pay the remainder of the sale proceeds, purchase moneys or other amounts paid by a buyer of the Collateral to Lessee;

If Lessee refuses to deliver the Co llateral in the manner designated, Bondholder may enter upon Lessee’s premises where the Collateral is kept and take possession of the Collateral and charge to Lessee the costs of such taking. Lessee hereby expressly waives any damages occasioned by such taking.

Section 11.04. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Bondholder or Issuer is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle Bondholder or Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be required by this Article. All remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to Bondholder or Issuer shall survive the termination of this Lease Agreement.

Section 11.05. Late Charge. Any Lease Payment not paid by Lessee on the due date thereof shall, to the extent permissible by law, bear a late charge equal to the lesser of five cents ($.05) per dollar of the delinquent amount or the lawful maximum, and Lessee shall be obligated to pay the same immediately upon receipt of Bondholder’s written invoice therefor.

Series 2010

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to (i) SYX Distribution Inc. (“Lessee”) with respect to the issuance and delivery of the Bond described above (the “Bond”) and with respect to the Lease Agreement dated as of September 1, 2010 (the “Lease Agreement”) among GE Government Finance, Inc., as bondholder (“Bondholder”), Development Authority of Jefferson, Georgia (“Issuer”), and Lessee, and the other Lessee Documents (as defined in the Lease Agreement) and various related matters, and (ii) Guarantor (as defined in t he Lease Agreement) with respect to the Guaranty (as defined in the Lease Agreement) and various related matters and, in this capacity, have reviewed a duplicate original or certified copy of each of the Lessee Documents and the Guaranty. Based upon the examination of these and such other documents as we deem relevant, it is our opinion that:

1. Lessee has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business.

2. Lessee has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Lessee Documents and to carry out the terms thereof. The Lessee Documents have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered, are in full force and effect and are the legal, valid and binding contracts

of Lessee enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (including against claims of usury), except to the extent limited by state and federal laws affecting remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

3. No consent, authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to, or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by Lessee of the Lessee Documents, except for such action which has been duly obtained or taken and is in full force and effect.

4. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Lessee Documents and the carrying out of the terms thereof will not result in violation of any provisions of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Lessee or result in the violation of any provision of, or in a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, indebtedness, agreement, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation to which Lessee is a party or by which it or its property is bound.

5. There are no legal or governmental actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigations pending, threatened or contemplated, or any basis therefor, to which Lessee is or may become a party or of which any property of Lessee is or may become subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incident to the kind of business conducted by Lessee which, if determined adversely to Lessee, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of Lessee.

6. There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending, threatened or contemplated, or any basis therefor, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the validity of or security for the Bond, the Lessee Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

7. Lessee has taken all steps legally required as a condition precedent to the execution and delivery of the Lease Agreement and to permit the commencement of the acquisition, installation and operation of the Project (as defined in the Lease Agreement). Lessee has made all submissions to governmental authorities and has obtained, and there are currently in full force and effect, all consents, approvals, authorizations, accreditations, licenses, permits and orders of any governmental or regulatory authority that are required to be obtained by Lessee to enable the Project to be acquired and installed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor.

8. The provisions of the Lease Agreement are effective to create a security interest in favor of Bondholder in all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Lease Agreement) and all proceeds thereof. Such security interest has been properly perfected and is subject to no liens or encumbrances.

9. Guarantor has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business.

B-2

10. Guarantor has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Guaranty and to carry out the terms thereof. The Guaranty has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered, is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and binding contract of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms (including against claims of usury), except to the extent limited by state and federal laws affecting remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

11. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Guaranty and the carrying out of the terms thereof will not result in violation of any provisions of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Guarantor or result in the violation of any provision of, or in a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, indebtedness, agreement, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or its property is bound.

12. There are no legal or governmental actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigations pending, threatened or contemplated, or any basis therefor, to which Guarantor is or may become a party or of which any property of Guarantor is or may become subject, other than ordinary routine litigation incident to the kind of business conducted by Guarantor which, if determined adversely to Guarantor, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of Guarantor.

This opinion may be relied upon by the addressees hereto and any permitted assignee of the Bond.

Very truly yours,

We have acted as counsel to Development Authority of Jefferson, Georgia (“Issuer”) in connection with the issuance and sale of the bond described above (the “Bond”) and with respect to the Lease Agreement dated as of September 1, 2010 (the “Lease Agreement”) among GE Government Finance, Inc. (“Bondholder”), Issuer and SYX Distribution Inc. (“Lessee”), the Escrow Agreement of even date therewith (the “Escrow Agreement”) among Bondholde r, Issuer, Lessee and Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, N.A., as escrow agent, the Tax Compliance Certificate of even date therewith (the “Tax Compliance Certificate”; the Lease Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Tax Compliance Certificate may be referred to herein collectively as the “Agreements”) and various related matters and, in this capacity, have reviewed a duplicate original or certified copy of the Agreements. Based upon the examination of these and such other documents as we deem relevant, it is our opinion that:

1. The Issuer is a public body corporate and politic created by the Development

Authorities Law, O.C.G.A. §36-62-1, et seq. (the “Act”) and activated by resolution of the City Council of the City of Jefferson to develop and promote trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities in the City of Jefferson (the “City”) and is authorized to issue its revenue obligations and to use the proceeds of the Bond to finance or refinance the cost of any “project” (as defined in the Act) in furtherance of the public purpose for which it was created.

The members of Issuer have been duly appointed and lawfully hold office. Issuer has filed its annual registration statement with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for the year 2010, as required by law.

2. Issuer is authorized and has power under applicable law to enter into the Agreements, to issue the Bond and to carry out its obligations thereunder and the transactions contemplated thereby.

3. The issuance of the Bond has been duly and validly authorized, all conditions precedent to the issuance of the Bond have been fulfilled and the Bond has been issued in accordance with the laws of the State. The Bond is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Issuer, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

4. The Agreements have been duly authorized, approved, executed and delivered by and on behalf of Issuer and are legal, valid and binding contracts of Issuer enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent limited by state and federal laws affecting remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

5. The issuance of the Bond and the authorization, approval and execution of the Agreements and all other proceedings of Issuer relating to the transactions contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all open meeting, public bidding and other laws, rules and regulations of the State.

6. There is no litigation, action, suit or proceeding pending or before any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body that challenges the organization or existence of Issuer; the authority of Issuer or its officers or its employees to issue the Bond or to enter into the Agreements; the proper authorization, approval and/or execution of the Bond, the Agreements and the other documents contemplated thereby; or the ability of Issuer otherwise to perform its obligations under the Bond, the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.

This opinion may be relied upon by the addressees hereto and any permitted assignee of the Bond.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Bond Counsel to SYX Distribution Inc. (“Lessee”), in connection with the issuance and delivery on the date hereof by the Development Authority of Jefferson, Georgia (“Issuer”) to GE Government Finance, Inc. (“Bondholder”) of the bond described above (the “Bond”) and in connection with the Lease Agreement dated as of September 1, 2010 (the “Lease Agreement”) among Bondholder, Lessee and the Issuer the Escrow Agreement of even date therewith (the “Escrow Agreement”) among Bondholder, Issuer, Lessee and Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, N.A., as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), and the Issuer’s Tax Compliance Certificate of even date herewith (the “Tax Compliance Certificate”); the Lease Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Tax Compliance Certificate may be referred to herein collectively as the “Agreements”). The Bond is issued in order that the Issuer may acquire equipment (the “Project”) to be located in the City of Jefferson, Georgia (the “City”) to be leased by the Issuer to the Lessee for use in a distribution center.

We have examined the law, the transcript of proceedings (the “Transcript”) relating to the issuance of the Bonds, including the resolution approving the issuance of the Bond (the “Bond Resolution”), the executed Bond, and the executed Agreements and such other documents, resolutions and records of the Issuer and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or relevant to enable us to express the opinions set forth below. In making the examinations described above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the

authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. With your consent, we have relied on the Certificate of the Issuer, dated as of even date herewith, and upon representations and warranties contained in the Agreements, as to factual matters represented therein. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon representations of the Issuer and the Lessee contained in the Agreements and other documents in the Transcript for the Bonds, the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us, and certifications furnished to us by or on behalf of the Lessee, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investi gation.

Reference is made to an opinion of even date of Curt Rush, the Lessee’s General Counsel, upon which we have relied, with your permission, with respect to all matters set forth in such opinion. Reference is also made to an opinion of even date herewith of Davidson, Hopkins, and Alexander, P.C., as counsel to the Issuer, upon which we have relied, with your permission, with respect to all matters set forth in such opinion. We have also relied on the final judgment of validation of the Superior Court of Jackson County validating the Bonds.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof and under existing law, that:

1. The Issuer is a public body corporate and politic created by the Development Authorities Law, O.C.G.A. Section 36-62-1, et seq. (the “Act”) and activated by resolution of the governing body of the City to develop and promote trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities in the City and is authorized to issue its revenue obligations and to use the proceeds of such revenue obligations to finance or refinance the cost of any “project” (as defined in the Act) in furtherance of the public purpose for which the Issuer was created. The members of Issuer have been duly appointed and lawfully hol d office. The Issuer has filed its annual registration statement with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for the year 2010, as required by law.

2. The Bond Resolution has been duly adopted, the Bond and each of the Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Issuer in accordance with the Act and are legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Issuer, subject to the qualifications set forth below. Issuer is serving as a mere conduit in the financing and the Bond is a special and limited obligation of Issuer payable solely from the security pledged by the Bond Resolution and the Lease. The Bond shall not constitute a debt of Issuer or a pledge of the faith and credit of Issuer, of the City, of the State of Georgia (the “State”) or of any municipality or political subdivision thereo f. No holder of the Bond shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the City, of the State or of any municipality or political subdivision thereof to pay the Bond or the debt service thereon, or to enforce payment thereof against any funds or property (other than such pledged security) of the City, of the State or of any municipality or political subdivision thereof, nor shall the Bond constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any funds or property of Issuer (other than the pledged security), of the City, of the State or of any municipality or political subdivision thereof. The Bond has been judicially validated by judgment of the Superior Court of Jackson County in accordance with the provisions of the Revenue Bond Law of the State (O.C.G.A. Section 3 6-82-

D-2

60, et seq.). This opinion is, as to the binding effect and enforceability of the Bond and the Agreements, subject to (i) Bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, (ii) limitations imposed by general principles of equity upon specific enforcement, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, (iii) the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and (iv) to the following qualifications:

(a) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of any of the following provisions that may be contained in the Bond or in the Agreements: (i) any provisions which purport to waive any defense, counterclaim, set-off or deduction arising from any violation of applicable federal or state securities or usury laws, any fraud on the part of any other party, any failure to give notice of a disposition of collateral to the extent required under applicable law, any disposition of collateral other than in a commercially reasonable manner or the effect of any applicable statute of limitation, (ii) any choice of law provisions therein, (iii) any provisions which purport to waive the right to trial by jury or purport to consent t o or waive any objection to the jurisdiction or venue of any particular court and (iv) any provisions which provide for payment of interest on unpaid interest or which, due to prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, would cause the rate of interest to exceed five percent (5.0%) per month. We also note that any provisions requiring any party to pay the attorneys’ fees of any other party will be subject to compliance with the requirements and limitations of O.C.G.A. Section 13-1-11 and that the provisions thereof will be subject to the effect of the provisions of O.C.G.A. Section 13-4-4 regarding mutual departures from strict contractual terms. Nothing in this paragraph (a) is intended to limit any of the other qualifications or exceptions to our opinion set forth in this letter.

(b) Enforcement of any warranties and indemnities contained therein may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws as violations of public policy and may be limited to the extent such indemnities would require any party to indemnify another party for costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by or asserted against such party as a result of action or inaction of such party constituting negligence. In addition, it is possible that a court would not enforce any warranties or indemnities with respect to environmental matters contained therein.

(c) With respect to the enforceability thereof, we have assumed that, to the extent that applicable law would require the rights and remedies set forth therein to be exercised in good faith or in a reasonable or commercially reasonable manner as a condition to the enforceability thereof, the persons having remedial rights thereunder will observe and satisfy such legal requirements.

(d) We express no opinion as to (i) the priority of any security interest, security title or lien granted under any of the Agreements (except as expressly stated above); (ii) the requirements for continuation of priority or perfection of any such security interest, security title or lien; or (iii) the title to or encumbrances on the Project.

D-3

(e) Certain waivers of notices and certain waivers of other rights and certain

waivers of remedial provisions contained therein may be unenforceable under Georgia law, particularly typical statutory and common law principles concerning rights of guarantors that may impede enforcement of a guaranty in accordance with its terms or, in some cases, permit the discharge of a guarantor, such as a discharge under O.C.G.A. Section 10-7-2 from extinction of the principal’s obligation.

3. The interest on the Bond is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Code, except for interest on any Bond for any period during which such Bond is held by a person who is a “substantial user” of the Project or a “related person” thereto within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code. Interest on the Bond is not treated as an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations and that, with respect to corporations, such interest is not taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. We express no o pinion regarding other federal income tax consequences caused by the receipt or accrual of interest on the Bond. In giving the tax opinions expressed in this paragraph, we have assumed and relied upon compliance with the covenants of the Issuer and of the Lessee contained in the documents included in the Transcript, and of the representations and certifications of the Issuer and of the Lessee contained in the Transcript, the accuracy of which we have not independently investigated or verified. The accuracy of certain of those representations and certifications, and compliance by the Issuer and of the Lessee with those covenants, may be necessary for the interest on the Bond to be and remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and for other tax effects stated in this paragraph. Failure to comply with certain of those covenants subsequent to issuance of the Bond or the inaccuracy of certain of those representations and certifications could cause interest on the Bond to be included in g ross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bond. We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Bond. Prospective purchasers of the Bond should consult its own tax advisors with respect to other tax consequences of owning the Bond.

4. The Bond and the interest on the Bond are exempt from all present income taxes and property taxes within the State. We express no opinion regarding other tax consequences arising with respect to the Bond under the laws of the State or any other state.

5. The Bond is exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Bond Resolution is exempt from qualification as an indenture pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

In giving the tax opinions expressed in paragraph 3, above, we have assumed and relied upon compliance with the covenants and representations of Issuer and of Lessee in the Agreements, and of the representations and certifications of Issuer and of Lessee in certificates delivered in connection with the Bond, the accuracy, which we have not independently verified.

D-4

The accuracy of certain of those representations and certifications, and compliance by Issuer and of Lessee with those covenants, may be necessary for the interest on the Bond to be and remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and for other tax effects stated in paragraph 3, above. Failure to comply with certain of those covenants or the inaccuracy of certain of those representations and certifications could cause interest on the Bond to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes either prospectively or retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bond. Under the Code, portions of the interest on the Bond earned by corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes) may be subject to an environmental t ax imposed on certain corporations for certain taxable years, and interest on the Bond may be subject to a branch profits tax imposed on certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States and to a tax imposed on excess net passive income of certain S corporations.

The undersigned’s engagement as Lessee’s Bond Counsel imposed no duty upon the undersigned to undertake any due diligence investigation as to either: (i) the adequacy of the pledged security or (ii) the business or financial condition of the Lessee. No opinion is expressed as to the applicability of the Blue Sky laws of any state on the transaction described above. No opinion is expressed as to the applicability of the federal securities laws or the Blue Sky laws of any state as to any subsequent transfer of the Bond. No representations have been made by the undersigned to the Bondholder in connection with its purchase of the Bond other than those expressly set forth in this opinion.

The opinions set forth herein are limited to the laws of the State and applicable federal laws. This opinion may be relied on only by the persons to whom it is addressed and any permitted assignee of the Bond. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update, revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.

Very truly yours,
