properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and

judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the
Company or any Subsidiary or (c)&nbsp;violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation
of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company is not a
party to any contract or agreement or subject to any charter or other corporate restrictions which
materially and adversely affects its business, property, assets, financial condition or results of
operations, and the Company is not a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in,
any instrument evidencing Debt of the Company, any agreement relating thereto or any other contract
or agreement (including its charter) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions
on the incurring of, Debt of the Company of the type to be evidenced by the Notes except as set
forth in the agreements listed in Schedule&nbsp;5.6 attached hereto. The provisions of this Agreement
and the Notes do not contravene any agreement listed in Schedule&nbsp;5.6.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the
Company of this Agreement or the Notes.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or any
Subsidiary or any properties or rights of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any
arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling
of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law,
ordinance, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws or the USA Patriot
Act) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:1%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>5.9. Taxes.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and, to the knowledge of the
officers of the Company, other tax returns that are required to have been filed in any
jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other
taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the
extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become
delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (a)&nbsp;the amount of which is not individually or in
the aggregate Material or (b)&nbsp;the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Company or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The
Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its
Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The
Federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been determined by the
Internal Revenue Service and paid for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended
August&nbsp;31, 2004. The Company is a cooperative association taxed under the provisions of
&#147;subchapter T&#148; of the Code and the Company does not presently intend to alter its status as a
subchapter T cooperative association for Federal income tax purposes.

respect to all Notes held by such holder). If so accepted, such offered prepayment shall be
due and payable on the Proposed Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at
100% of the principal amount of such Notes so prepaid, <I>plus </I>interest on all such Notes

prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and, in the case
of any such prepayment pursuant to Section&nbsp;8.3, the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and

factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is
payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

(New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date on screen &#147;PX
1&#148; on the Bloomberg Financial Market Service (or such other display on the Bloomberg
Financial Market Service as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Required Holders
having the same information if &#147;PX-1&#148; is replaced by Bloomberg Financial Market Service) for
the most recently issued, actively traded, on-the-run benchmark U.S. Treasury securities,
having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such
Settlement Date or (ii)&nbsp;if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields
reported as of such time are not ascertainable, (including by way of interpolation), the
Treasury Constant Maturity Series&nbsp;Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields
have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date, in
Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor publication) for
actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining
Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. In either case, the yield
will be determined, if necessary, by (a)&nbsp;converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond
equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b)&nbsp;interpolating
linearly on a straight line basis between (1)&nbsp;the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the
maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life and (2)&nbsp;the applicable U.S.
Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life.
The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the
interest rate of the applicable Note.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>&#147;Remaining Average Life&#148; </B>means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of
years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a)&nbsp;such Called
Principal into (b)&nbsp;the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i)&nbsp;the principal
component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii)
the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between
the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such
Remaining Scheduled Payment.

all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the
Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal
were made prior to its scheduled due date, <I>provided </I>that if such Settlement Date is not a
date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the
amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of
interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date
pursuant to Section&nbsp;8.3 or 12.1.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>&#147;Settlement Date&#148; </B>means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on

to the Net Proceeds Amount with respect to such Transfer to pay the outstanding principal of
all Funded Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary (other than Funded Debt owing to any of

holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the
Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.
No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default
or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No
course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any
rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such
Note. As used herein, the term <B>&#147;this Agreement&#148; </B>and references thereto shall mean this Agreement
as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:1%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%"><B>17.4. Notes held by Company, etc.</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver
or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action
provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified
percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or
indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of
motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit,
action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Annex 1 hereto


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Re: CHS Inc. (the &#147;<B>Company</B>&#148;)


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Ladies and Gentlemen:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Reference is made to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October&nbsp;4, 2007 (the
"<B>Note Purchase Agreement</B>&#148;) between the Company and each of the purchasers listed on Schedule&nbsp;A
attached thereto (the &#147;<B>Purchasers</B>&#148;), which provides, among other things, for the issuance and sale
by the Company of its 6.18% Series&nbsp;I Senior Notes due October&nbsp;4, 2017 in the aggregate principal
amount of Four Hundred Million Dollars ($400,000,000). The capitalized terms used herein and not
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them by or pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase
Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">I act as general counsel for the Company and in that capacity I am familiar with the corporate
matters of the Company. This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to Section&nbsp;4.4(a) of the Note
Purchase Agreement. In acting as such counsel, I have examined:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;the Note Purchase Agreement;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s 6.18% Series&nbsp;I Senior Notes due October&nbsp;4, 2017, dated the date hereof, in
the form of Exhibit&nbsp;1 to the Note Purchase Agreement, and in the principal amounts and with the
registration numbers set forth on Schedule&nbsp;A to the Note Purchase Agreement (the &#147;<B>Series&nbsp;I Notes</B>&#148;);


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(c)&nbsp;the certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company, dated the date of Closing, as
contemplated by Section&nbsp;4.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(d)&nbsp;each of the other documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered by the
Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(e)&nbsp;the bylaws and minute books of the Company and a certified copy of the articles of
incorporation of the Company, as in effect on the date hereof, and such other corporate or
constitutive documents and records of the Company as I have deemed relevant and necessary or
appropriate for purposes of this opinion;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(f)&nbsp;a good standing certificate from the state of Minnesota with respect to the Company;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(g)&nbsp;a letter to the Company and Bingham McCutchen LLP from Banc of America Securities LLC.
describing the manner of the offering of the Notes; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(h)&nbsp;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.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">In rendering my opinion, I have assumed that all signatures (other than signatures of officers
and directors of the Company) are genuine, that all documents submitted to me as originals are
genuine, that all copies submitted to me conform to the originals, that all natural Persons have
legal capacity and, as to documents executed by or on behalf of Persons other than the Company,
that each such Person executing such documents had the power to enter into and perform its
obligations under such documents, and that such documents have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and are binding upon and enforceable against, such Persons.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">I have no actual knowledge of any information that would indicate that the foregoing
assumptions are invalid.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">My opinion is based upon the laws of the State of New York, United States federal law and the
general corporation laws of the State of Minnesota.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Based on the foregoing, I am of the following opinions:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">1.&nbsp;The Company is a nonstock agricultural cooperative corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota and has all requisite
corporate power and authority to carry on its business and own its property.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">2.&nbsp;The Company has duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction where the character of its properties or the nature of its activities makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify and to be in good standing would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">3.&nbsp;The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Note
Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell the Notes, and to perform its obligations set forth in each
of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes. Each of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes
has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and has been duly executed and delivered
by a duly authorized officer of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">4.&nbsp;The execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, and the issue and
sale of the Notes, by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder
will not conflict with, constitute a violation of, result in a breach of any provision of,
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien or encumbrance upon
any of the property of the Company pursuant to any agreement or instrument to which the Company is
a party or by which its properties may be bound.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">5.&nbsp;There is no judgment, order, action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or
in equity, before any Governmental Authority, arbitration board or tribunal pending against the
Company or any Subsidiary or any property thereof, except for such judgments, orders, actions,
suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigations that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">6.&nbsp;Each of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">7.&nbsp;The execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, and the issue and
sale of the Notes, by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder,
will not conflict with, constitute a violation by the Company of, result in a breach by the Company
of any provision of, constitute a default by the Company under or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien or encumbrance upon any of the property of the Company pursuant to the
articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company, or any applicable statute, rule or regulation
to which the Company is subject or the provisions of any agreement or instrument identified in
Annex 2 hereto.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">8.&nbsp;All consents, approvals and authorizations of, and all designations, declarations, filings,
registrations, qualifications and recordations with, Governmental Authorities required on the part
of the Company have been obtained in connection with the execution and delivery of the Note
Purchase Agreement and the offer, issue, sale and delivery of the Notes.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">9.&nbsp;Under existing law:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;The offering, issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company to the Purchasers under
the circumstances contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement are not subject to the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, or the &#147;Blue Sky&#148; laws of the State of New
York; and



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;the Company is not required to qualify an indenture with respect to the Notes under
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">10.&nbsp;Neither the issuance of the Notes nor the intended use of the proceeds of the Notes (as
set forth in Section&nbsp;5.15 of the Note Purchase Agreement) will violate any of Regulations T, U or X
of the Federal Reserve Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">11.&nbsp;The Company is not:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;an &#147;investment company&#148; or a company &#147;controlled&#148; by an &#147;investment company&#148;
required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;a &#147;holding company&#148; or an &#147;affiliate&#148; of a &#147;holding company,&#148; or a &#147;subsidiary
company&#148; of a &#147;holding company,&#148; or a &#147;public utility&#148; within the meaning of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">All opinions herein contained with respect to the enforceability of documents and instruments
are qualified to the extent that:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;the availability of equitable remedies, including without limitation, specific
enforcement and injunctive relief, is subject to the discretion of the court before which
any proceedings therefor may be brought; and



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;the enforceability of certain terms provided in the Note Purchase Agreement and the
Notes may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors&#146; rights generally as at
the time in effect, and general principles of equity and the discretion of a court in
granting equitable remedies (whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or
in equity).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">I acknowledge that this opinion is being issued at the request of the Company pursuant to
Section&nbsp;4.4(a) of the Note Purchase 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 Note Purchase Agreement. Subsequent holders of the Notes may rely on this
opinion as if it were specifically addressed to them.

</TABLE>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">The Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes are sometimes referred to herein as the &#147;<B>Financing
Documents</B>.&#148; This opinion is based entirely upon our examination of the documents listed in the
preceding paragraph and we have made no other documentary review or investigation for purposes of
this opinion. Based on such investigation as we have deemed appropriate, the opinion referred to
in clause (vii)&nbsp;above is satisfactory in form and scope to us, and, in our opinion, you are
justified in relying thereon.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">As to all matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and
descriptions of purpose, intention or other state of mind), we have relied, with the Purchasers&#146;
permission, entirely upon (1)&nbsp;the representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers
set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, (2)&nbsp;the correctness of all statements set forth in the
certificates described in paragraphs (iii)&nbsp;and (iv)&nbsp;above, and (3)&nbsp;the Offeree Letter, and have
assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of such representations, warranties,
certificates and letter.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all
documents reviewed by us as copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents
reviewed by us in original or copy form, the legal competence of each individual executing any
document and that each Person executing the Financing Documents validly exists, has the power,
authority and legal right under its articles of incorporation, by-laws, and other governing
organizational documents, and under applicable corporate, cooperative or other enterprise
legislation and other applicable laws, as the case may be, to enter into and perform its
obligations under the Financing Documents, and is qualified to do business and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and each jurisdiction where
such qualification is required generally or is necessary in order for such party to enforce its
rights under such documents, and that such documents have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and, as to Persons other than the Company, are binding upon and enforceable against,
such Persons. In addition, we have relied upon the Offeree Letter without independent
investigation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">For purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed
necessary. This opinion is limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the State of New
York as applied by courts located in the State of New York without regard to choice of law (except
to the extent addressed in paragraph 5 below) and the federal laws of the United States of America
(in each case, except for federal and state tax, energy, utilities, agriculture, national security
or antitrust laws, as to which we express no opinion in this letter), and we express no opinion as
to the laws of any other jurisdiction. In particular, our opinion in paragraph 2 below is based
solely on a review of the Company&#146;s Governing Documents and not on any analysis of the internal
substantive law of the jurisdiction of organization of the Company, including statutes, rules or
regulations or any interpretations thereof by any court, administrative body or other Governmental
Authority and we express no opinion in paragraph 2 below as to the internal substantive law of the
Company&#146;s jurisdiction of organization. In addition, we note that the Financing Documents contain
provisions stating that they are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York (each, a
&#147;<B>Choice of Law Provision&#148;</B>). Except to the extent addressed below in paragraph 5, no opinion is
given herein as to any Choice of Law Provision, or otherwise as to the choice of law or internal
substantive rules of law that any court or other tribunal may apply to the transactions
contemplated by the Financing Documents. Except as set forth in paragraph 4 below, we express no
opinions as to any securities or &#147;blue sky&#148; laws of any jurisdiction.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">Our opinion is further subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions,
all of which we understand to be acceptable to the Purchasers:



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(a)&nbsp;We have assumed without any independent investigation (i)&nbsp;that the execution,
delivery and performance by each of the parties thereto of the Financing Documents do not
and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions
of, or result in a violation of, or constitute a default or require any consent (other
than such consents as have been duly obtained) under, any organizational document other
than the Governing Documents of the Company, any order, judgment, arbitration award or
stipulation, or any agreement, to which any of such parties is a party or is subject or by
which any of the properties or assets of any of such parties is bound and (ii)&nbsp;that the
statements regarding delivery and receipt of documents and funds referred to in the Cross
Receipt between you and the Company are true and correct.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(b)&nbsp;The enforcement of any obligations of any Person under the Financing Documents or
otherwise may be limited by or subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, marshaling or other laws and rules of law affecting the enforcement generally
of creditors&#146; rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of
debtors&#146; or guarantors&#146; rights), and we express no opinion as to the status under any
fraudulent conveyance laws or fraudulent transfer laws of any of the obligations of any
Person, whether under the Financing Documents or otherwise.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(c)&nbsp;We express no opinion as to the availability of any specific or equitable relief
of any kind.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(d)&nbsp;The enforcement of any of the Purchasers&#146; rights may in all cases be subject to
an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(e)&nbsp;We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any particular provision of any
of the Financing Documents relating to or constituting (i)&nbsp;waivers of rights to object to
jurisdiction or venue, or consents to jurisdiction or venue, (ii)&nbsp;waivers of rights to (or
methods of) service of process, or rights to trial by jury, or other rights or benefits
bestowed by operation of law, (iii)&nbsp;waivers of any applicable defenses, setoffs,
recoupments, or counterclaims, (iv)&nbsp;exculpation or exoneration clauses, clauses relating
to rights of indemnity or contribution, and clauses relating to releases or waivers of
unmatured claims or rights (v)&nbsp;waivers or variations of legal provisions or rights which
are not capable of waiver or variation under applicable law.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(f)&nbsp;Our opinion in paragraph 3 below is based solely on a review of generally
applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America and not on any
search with respect to, or review of, any orders, decrees, judgments or other
determinations specifically applicable to the Company.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:5%; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">(g)&nbsp;We express no opinion as to the effect of events occurring, circumstances
arising, or changes of law becoming effective or occurring after the date hereof on the
matters addressed in this opinion letter, and we assume no responsibility to inform you of
additional or changed facts, or changes in law, of which we may become aware.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth below,
we are of the opinion that:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">1.&nbsp;Each of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">2.&nbsp;The execution and delivery by the Company of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, the
sale of the Notes and compliance by the Company with the provisions thereof will not constitute a
violation of any of the provisions of the Company&#146;s Governing Documents or any law, statute, rule
or regulation of the State of New York.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">3.&nbsp;No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration, filing,
registration, qualification or recordation with, any Governmental Authority in respect of the
Company is required under the laws of the State of New York or the United States of America in
connection with (a)&nbsp;the execution and delivery by the Company of the Note Purchase Agreement, or
(b)&nbsp;the offer, issue, sale and delivery of the Notes by the Company under the circumstances
contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">4.&nbsp;Under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale by
the Company of the Notes delivered to the Purchasers today does not require registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company is not required to qualify an indenture in
respect of the issuance of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">5.&nbsp;The Choice of Law Provisions are enforceable in accordance with New York General
Obligations Law section 5-1401, as applied by a New York State court or a federal court sitting in
New York and applying New York choice of law principles.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 5%">This opinion is delivered solely to the Purchasers and for the Purchasers&#146; benefit in
connection with the Financing Documents and may not be relied upon by the Purchasers for any other
purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than future holders of Notes acquired in
accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement) for any reason without our prior written
consent.
