Accordingly, we assume no responsibility for the adequacy of the Indenture, the Prospectuses or the Notes or for the appropriateness of any disclosures made in the Prospectuses (except to the extent expressly stated otherwise in this opinion letter).

In this opinion letter capitalised terms used without definition shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule and Indenture. Headings in this opinion are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof and references to paragraphs or schedules are references to the relevant paragraph of or Schedule to this Opinion Letter, unless a contrary indication appears.
