Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Debt Securities constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and the Guarantees constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

containing any purported waiver, release, variation, disclaimer, consent or other agreement of similar effect (all of the foregoing, collectively, a “Waiver”) by the Company or any Guarantor under any of such Documents to the extent limited by provisions of applicable law (including judicial decisions), or to the extent that such a Waiver applies to a right, claim, duty, defense or ground for discharge otherwise existing or occurring as a matter of law (including judicial decisions), except to the extent that such a Waiver is effective under, and is not prohibited by or void or invalid under, provisions of applicable law (including judicial decisions); or (b) with respect to any Waiver in the Guarantees insofar as it relates to causes or circumstances that would operate as a discharge or release of, or defense available to, the Guarantors thereunder as a matter of law (including judicial decisions), except to the extent such a Waiver is effective under, and is not prohibited by or void or invalid under applicable law (including judicial decisions);

 

(iii)

related to (a) forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue in any court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum) to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of such provision is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New York, (b) choice of governing law to the extent the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such provision is to be considered by any court other than a court of the State of New York or a federal district court sitting in the State of New York, in each case, applying the choice of law rules of the State of New York, (c) service of process, or (d) waivers of any rights to trial by jury;
