(TO FOURTH AMENDMENT AGREEMENT)
[FORM OF CLOSING OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY]
[LETTERHEAD OF NORMAN R. SOLAND, ESQ.]
[Effective Date]
To the Institutional Investors
listed on Annex 1 hereto
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Fourth Amendment Agreement (the "FOURTH
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT"), dated as of December 1, 1997, among Nash-Finch
Company, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY") and the institutional
investors parties thereto (the "HOLDERS"), in respect of the Company's
separate Note Agreements dated as of March 22, 1996 (collectively, as amended
by that certain First Amendment dated as of November 15, 1996, that certain
Second Amendment dated as of November 15, 1996 and that certain Third
Amendment Agreement dated as of January 15, 1997, the "EXISTING NOTE
AGREEMENT", and as further amended by the Fourth Amendment Agreement, the
"AMENDED NOTE AGREEMENT"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Amended
Note Agreement.
I am General Counsel of the Company, and have acted in such capacity in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Fourth Amendment
Agreement. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.2 of the
Fourth Amendment Agreement. In acting as such capacity, I have examined:
(a) the Fourth Amendment Agreement;
(b) the Existing Note Agreement;
(c) the Company's Second Amended and Restated 8.38% Senior Notes
Due October 1, 2006, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the
Fourth Amendment Agreement and dated October 1, 1997, in the respective
principal amounts, bearing the registration numbers and payable to the
Holders specified on Annex 1 to the Fourth Amendment Agreement (the
"AMENDED NOTES"), which Amended Notes are in the aggregate principal
amount of $30,000,000 and have been issued in substitution and
replacement of an equal aggregate principal amount of the Company's
First Amended and Restated 8.13% Senior Notes Due October 1, 2006 (the
"EXISTING NOTES");
(d) all other documents executed and delivered by the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Fourth Amendment
Agreement; and
Exhibit B-1
(e) a copy of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company, as amended (the "RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION"), and
as certified on a recent date by the Secretary of the State of Delaware
as being true, complete and in effect as of the date thereof;
(f) a copy of the bylaws of the Company, as certified by an
officer thereof as being true, complete and in effect;
(g) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company dated
[ ], 1997, pursuant to which the Company is authorized,
among other things, to enter into the Fourth Amendment Agreement and
execute and deliver the Amended Notes, as certified by an officer
thereof as being true, complete and in effect;
(h) a Good Standing Certificate for the Company, of recent date,
issued by the Office of the Secretary of State of Delaware; and
(i) originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of such other documents, records, instruments and
certificates of public officials as I have deemed necessary or
appropriate to enable me to render this opinion.
In rendering this opinion, I have relied, to the extent I deem necessary
and proper, on warranties and representations as to certain factual matters
contained in the Fourth Amendment Agreement and the certificates of officers of
the Company executed in connection therewith. I have no actual knowledge of any
material inaccuracies in any of such representations and warranties contained
therein.
In rendering this opinion, I have assumed the following:
(A) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals;
(B) the conformity of any documents submitted to me as certified
or photostatic copies to their respective originals;
(C) the authenticity of all signatures (other than those of
officers and directors of the Company);
(D) the legal capacity of all natural persons;
(E) the accuracy of all reports and certificates received from
public officials; and
(F) as to Persons other than the Company and individuals acting on
behalf of the Company, the corporate power, authority and legal right to
execute and deliver, the due execution and delivery of, and the
enforceability against such Persons of, the Existing Note Agreement, the
Fourth Amendment Agreement and the Amended Note Agreement, and all
documents, instruments and agreements contemplated thereby.
Exhibit B-2
To the extent that the obligations of the Company may be dependent upon
such matters, I assume that each Holder is duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, that
each has all requisite governmental certificates of authority, licenses,
permits, consents and qualifications to engage in the transactions covered by
this opinion and that the Fourth Amendment Agreement has been duly executed
by an officer or officers of each Holder and that such agreement is a legal,
valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each Holder.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the
corporate power and corporate authority to issue the Amended Notes, to
execute and deliver the Fourth Amendment Agreement and the Amended Notes, and
to perform its respective obligations under the Fourth Amendment Agreement,
the Amended Note Agreement and the Amended Notes.
2. The Company has full corporate power and corporate authority to
conduct the activities in which it is now engaged and is duly licensed or
qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which the character of the Properties owned or leased by it
or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or
qualification necessary and where the failure to be so qualified or licensed,
in the aggregate for all such failures, could reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, profits, Properties or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company.
3. Each of the Fourth Amendment Agreement and the Amended Notes has
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company, and has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
4. Each of the Fourth Amendment Agreement, the Amended Note Agreement
and the Amended Notes constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally, and general principles of equity
(regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
5. No approval, consent or withholding of objection on the part of, or
filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental body, Federal,
state or local, is necessary in connection with the lawful execution,
delivery and performance of the Fourth Amendment Agreement, the Amended Note
Agreement or the Amended Notes;
6. Neither the issuance of the Amended Notes in substitution and
exchange for the Existing Notes, nor the execution, delivery and performance
by the Company of the Fourth Amendment Agreement and Amended Note Agreement,
as the case may be, conflicts with applicable laws, rules or regulations or
results in any breach of the provisions of or constitutes a default under or
results in the creation or imposition of any Lien or encumbrance upon any of
the Property of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any agreement or
other instrument known to me to which the Company is a party or by which the
Company may be bound.
Exhibit B-3
7. The issuance, execution and delivery of the Amended Notes under the
circumstances contemplated by the Fourth Amendment Agreement do not, under
existing law, require the registration of the Amended Notes under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the qualification of an indenture in
respect thereof under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as amended.
8. Neither the issuance of the Amended Notes in substitution and
exchange for the Existing Notes, or the application of the proceeds of the
Original Notes, has violated or will result in a violation of Section 7 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any regulations issued
pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Regulations G. T and X of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
I am an attorney admitted to practice in the State of Minnesota and I
express no opinion as to any laws other than federal laws of the United
States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
I acknowledge that this opinion is being issued at the request of the
Company pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Fourth Amendment Agreement and I agree
that the parties listed on Annex 1 hereto may rely and are relying hereon in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Fourth Amendment Agreement. This opinion is not to be used, circulated,
quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose, except that copies of
this opinion may be supplied to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction
over the affairs of any Holder or subsequent holder of an Amended Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent holders of the Notes may rely on
this opinion as if it were addressed to them; provided, however, that this
opinion speaks only as of the date above written, and I hereby expressly
disclaim any duty to update any of the statements made herein.
Very truly yours,
