Ladies and Gentlemen:

on representations made in the Indenture and certificates of officers of the
Massachusetts Guarantor. We also have relied on certificates of public
officials.

         The opinions expressed below are limited to Massachusetts law and the
federal law of the United States.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to the additional qualifications
set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
