$6,666,666.67 on December 28 in each of the years 2010 through 2014 (or, in the case of any such prepayment, such lesser principal amount of the Notes as shall then be outstanding), leaving $6,666,666.67 principal amount (or such other
principal amount thereof as then remains unpaid) of the Notes for payment at their stated maturity on December 28, 2015. Each such prepayment shall be at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes so prepaid, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the date of prepayment. No partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 5.02 shall relieve the Company from its obligation to make the required prepayments provided for in this Section 5.01. 

(b) Whenever any prepayment to be made under this Section 5.01 shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and the amount of such prepayment shall bear interest at the applicable rate during such extension. 

5.02 Optional Prepayments of the Notes.  
 The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided in Section 5.03, at any time or from time to time, prepay any part (in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof) or all of the Notes at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, plus a premium equal to the Make-Whole Premium, if any, on the amount so
prepaid, determined as of two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.02. 

  
 23 









 5.03 Notice of Optional Prepayments; Officers’ Certificate.  

The Company shall give each Holder irrevocable written notice of each optional prepayment of Notes made under Section 5.02 not less

aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder to be prepaid, (d) that a Make-Whole Premium may be payable, (e) the date when such Make-Whole Premium will be calculated, (f) the estimated Make-Whole Premium together with
a reasonably detailed calculation of such Make-Whole Premium and (g) the accrued interest applicable to the prepayment. The Company will give each Holder, one Business Day prior to the date scheduled for any such prepayment, an Officers’
Certificate certifying that the conditions of Section 5.02 have been fulfilled and specifying the particulars of such fulfillment, and setting forth the calculations used in computing such Make-Whole Premium, or stating that no Make-Whole
Premium is due and including the reason for such statement. 
 5.04 Allocation of Partial Prepayments.  

Any partial prepayment of the Notes shall be allocated among all Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to
the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Notes so outstanding, with adjustments, to the extent practicable, to compensate for any prior payments not made exactly in such proportion. All partial prepayments shall be applied to the Notes in
anticipation and satisfaction of the prepayments required to be made by the provisions of Section 5.01, in inverse order of the maturity thereof. 
 5.05 Maturity; Surrender, Etc.  
 In the case of any prepayment of the Notes
pursuant to this Section 5, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable
Make-Whole Premium, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Premium, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall
cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall, after such payment or prepayment in full, be surrendered to the Company and be cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any
Note. 
 5.06 Retirement of Notes.  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, prepay or otherwise retire, in whole or in part, prior to their stated final maturity (other than by prepayment pursuant to this
Section 5 or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to Section 10.01), or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Notes held by any Holder unless the Company or such Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or
otherwise retire or purchase or otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each other Holder at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any Notes prepaid pursuant to
this Section 5 or Section 10.01 or otherwise retired or purchased 

  
 24 









 
or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement, provided that, with respect to each prepayment
pursuant to this Section 5, all Notes then held by the Company and its Affiliates shall nonetheless be entitled to participate in such prepayment the same as if such Notes were deemed outstanding.

accuracy of the representation of the Purchasers in Section 7 as to the source of the funds to be used to pay the purchase price of the Notes.

incurred by such special counsel in connection with such engagement, provided that the failure (for any reason) of such special counsel to provide such an estimate (nor any error therein or deviation therefrom) shall not relieve the Company of any
of its obligations under this Section 11.02. 
 11.03 Consent to Waivers and Amendments. 

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein or therein
prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein or therein required to be performed by it, if the Company shall obtain the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Required Holders except that, without the written consent

Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by the Purchasers or any Transferee, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of the Purchasers, any Transferee or any other
Person and (ii) be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by each Holder, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by or on behalf of any Holder. 

(b) All representations, warranties and covenants contained herein made by the Purchasers or any Holder shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and may be relied upon by the Company and its successors and assigns. No Holder (including the Purchasers) shall be responsible for the truth, correctness or
performance of the representations or warranties of the Company, the Guarantors or any other Holder (including any Transferee). 

11.08 Successors and Assigns. 
 All covenants and other agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of either of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto (including, without limitation, any Transferee) whether so expressed or not. Each Transferee, by taking any Note, shall be deemed to have made the representation contained in Part 1 of Schedule XII and at least one of the
representations contained in Part 2 of Schedule XII and to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 11.10 Substitution of
Purchasers. 
 The Purchasers shall have the right, by written notice to the Company, to substitute any one of its Affiliates
as the purchaser of the Notes, which notice shall be signed by both the Purchasers and such Affiliate and shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy
with respect to it of 

  
 62 









 
the representation contained in Part 1 of Schedule XII and of at least one of the representations set forth in Part 2 of Schedule XII. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever
the word “Purchaser” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 11.10) or any other Loan Document or certificate, opinion or other instrument delivered or to be delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, such word shall
be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of the Purchaser. In the event such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to the Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt
by the Company of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “Purchaser” is used in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or certificate, opinion or other instrument delivered or to be delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, such
word shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall have all the rights of an original Holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 

11.11 Satisfaction Requirement. 
 If any agreement, certificate or other writing, or any action taken or to be taken, is by the terms of this Agreement required to be satisfactory to the Purchasers or to the Required Holders, the
determination of such satisfaction shall be made by the Purchasers or the Required Holders, as the case may be, in the sole and exclusive judgment of the Person or Persons making such determination unless, by the terms of this Agreement, such matter
is required to be reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers or to the Required Holders, as the case may be, in which event the determination of such satisfaction shall be made by the Purchasers or the Required Holders, as the case may be, in the
reasonable judgment of the Person or Persons making such determination.

All covenants contained in this Agreement shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted
by any of such covenants, the fact that such action or condition would be permitted by an exception to, or otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is
taken or condition exists. 
 11.13 Remedies Cumulative. 

No right, power or remedy granted under any Loan Document is intended to be exclusive, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other rights, powers or remedies referred to in such Loan Document or otherwise available at law or in equity and the exercise or beginning of exercise by any party hereto of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

including (a) consents, waivers and notifications which may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by the Purchasers at the Closing and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter
furnished to any Holder of a Note, may

destroyed. The Company and the Purchasers agree and stipulate that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not
the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 11.17 Interest. 

(a) Each provision in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents is expressly limited so that in no event
whatsoever shall the amount paid, or otherwise agreed to be paid, to any Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or any other Loan Document or otherwise (including any sums paid as required by any
covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document which is for the use, forbearance or detention of such money), exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and
all amounts owed under this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document shall be held to be subject to reduction to the effect that such amounts so paid or agreed to be paid which are for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(b) Anything in this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall
never be required to pay unearned interest on any Note or ever be required to pay interest on such Note at a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and if the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Agreement, such
Note or any other Loan Document would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the Holder of such Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of
interest payable by the Company under this Agreement, such Note and the other Loan Documents to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Company under this


  
 64 









 
Agreement, such Note and the other Loan Documents shall be reduced to the amount allowed under applicable law and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the
Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be in the first instance credited on the principal of such Note with the excess thereof, if any, refunded to the Company. 

(c) It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted
for, charged or received by any Holder under the Notes held by it, or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate shall be made, to the extent
permitted by usury laws applicable to such Notes (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the loans evidenced by said Notes all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received by such Holder in connection therewith. 
 (d) If, at any time and from time to time,
(i) the amount of interest payable to any Holder on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such holder would be
less than the Highest Lawful Rate, then the amount of interest payable to such Holder in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest payable to
such Holder shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Holder if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 11.17. 

11.18 Representations, Etc. Cumulative. 
 All representations, covenants, agreements and indemnities contained in this Agreement shall be in addition to and cumulative of the representations, covenants, agreements and indemnities contained in the
other Loan Documents.

 (a) The obligation of the Company hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed
in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by each Holder of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to such Holder under this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being referred to
in this Section 11.23 as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made, at the Dollar Equivalent, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such
Business Day being referred to in this Section 11.23 as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). For purposes of this Section 11.23, the term “Dollar Equivalent” shall mean, with respect to any monetary
amount in a currency other than Dollars, at any time for the determination thereof, the amount of Dollars obtained by converting such foreign currency involved in such computation into Dollars at the spot rate for the purchase of Dollars with the
applicable foreign currency as quoted to such Holder by a nationally recognized commercial bank or investment bank, which is not affiliated with such Holder, at approximately 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of determination thereof
specified herein. 
 (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Company covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount
paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial
award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date. 

  
 67 









 (c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent for this
Section 11.23, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Dollars. 

11.24 Liabilities of Holders.

Loan Document for the benefit or on behalf of any other Person who may be the holder of any Note. 
 11.25 Taxes.

 The Company will (a) pay all taxes (including interest and penalties) that may be payable in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment of, or waiver or consent under or with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (b) indemnify and hold the Purchasers and each other Holder
harmless from and against any loss or liability resulting from nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax. The obligations of the Company under this Section 11.25 shall survive the transfer and payment of the Notes.

as a “Guarantor,” and the Guarantors, together with the Company, are referred to as the “Loan Parties”) that are parties to that certain Joint and Several Guaranty (the “Guaranty”), dated as of
December 13, 2005, and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2005 (the “Subrogation and Contribution Agreement”), each executed by the Company and the Guarantors, and delivered on the date

defined in the Note Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Note Agreement. 
 A. Basis of Opinion 

 As the basis for the conclusions expressed in this opinion letter, this firm has examined and is familiar with originals or
copies, certified or otherwise identified to this firm’s satisfaction, of (i) the Note Agreement; (ii) the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement; (iii) the promissory notes of the Company in the aggregate
principal amount of $40,000,000 and in the form attached to the Note Agreement (the “Notes”); (iv) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date; (v) the Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date; and
(vi) resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Note Agreement, the Guaranty and the Notes. This firm has also examined such other documents and instruments (including
certificates of public officials, officers of the Company and the Guarantors and other persons) and made such examination of applicable laws of the State of Texas and federal laws of the United States, all as this firm has deemed necessary as a
basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As used herein, the term “Loan Documents” means, collectively, the Note Agreement, the Guaranty, the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement and the Notes. 

B. Opinion  
 Based upon
our examination and consideration of the documents and instruments referred to in Section A and in reliance thereon, but subject to the comments, assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth in Section C, this firm is
of the opinion that: 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 3 
  

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas. The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to (i) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) own and hold under lease the Properties that it purports to own or hold under
lease (as described in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “10-K Report)) and (iii) transact the business described with respect to it in the 10-K Report. 

2. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction (if any) listed in
Schedule III to the Note Agreement. 
 3. The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms. 
 4. The Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with their
respective terms. 
 5. Neither the execution nor delivery by the Company of any Loan Document to which it is a party nor
compliance by the Company with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party will (i) violate any provision of the charter or bylaws of the Company, or (ii) to this firm’s knowledge, contravene any Legal
Requirement to which the Company is subject. 
 6. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any Governmental
Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. 
 7. The offering, issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Agreement constitutes an exempt transaction under the registration provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and neither the registration of the Notes under such provisions nor the qualification of an indenture in respect of the Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required in connection with such
offering, issuance, sale and delivery. 
 8. The issuance and sale of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the Note
Agreement will not involve a violation of Regulation U, T or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System promulgated pursuant to Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 4 
  

9. None of the Loan Parties is (i) an “investment company” or a Person directly or indirectly “controlled”
by or acting on behalf of an “investment company,” in each case within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding
company,” an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” in each case within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or
(iii) a “public utility,” within the meaning of the Federal Power Act, as amended. 
 10. For purposes of
determining the maximum lawful rate of interest that may be charged, collected or received pursuant to the Notes, the courts of the State of Texas (and the courts of the United States applying Texas law) would, assuming that such courts were to
apply existing Texas choice of law rules, give effect to the provisions contained in the Note Agreement and the Notes calling for such documents to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

 11. The loan, as evidenced by the Notes, is not usurious under the laws of Texas (assuming for purposes of this opinion,
courts were to apply Texas law). 
 C. Comments, Assumption, Limitations, Qualifications and Exceptions  

The opinions expressed in Section B above are based upon and subject to the further comments, assumptions, limitations,
qualifications and exceptions as set forth below: 
 1. This firm’s validity, binding effect and enforceability
opinions in Paragraphs B.3 and B.4 above are subject to the effects of (i) bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium and other similar laws from time to time affecting
creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the application of general principles of equity (including, without limitation, standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness), whether such principles are considered in a
proceeding at law or in equity, and (iii) applicable law and court decisions which may modify, limit, render unenforceable or invalid or delay certain of the rights and remedies of the Purchasers, which, in this firm’s opinion, should not
materially diminish the ultimate practical realization of the principal legal benefits purported to be conferred by the Loan Documents, except for the economic consequences of any judicial, administrative, procedural or other delay which may be
imposed by, relate to or result from such laws and court decisions. 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 5 
  
 2. This
firm expresses no opinion as to: 
 (i) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents
relating to indemnification, contribution, or exculpation in connection with violations of any securities laws or statutory duties or public policy, to the extent that such provisions are determined to be contrary to public policy, as interpreted by
the courts of the State of Texas and the courts of the United States; 
 (ii) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of
(a) any purported waiver, release, variation, disclaimer, consent or other provision contained in the Loan Documents to similar effect (all of the foregoing, collectively, a “Waiver”) by the Company and/or any of the other Loan
Parties under any of the Loan Documents to the extent limited by Sections 9.602 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in the State of Texas (“UCC”) or other provisions of applicable law (including judicial decisions), or
to the extent that such a Waiver applies to a right, right to notice, claim, duty, defense, or ground for discharge or other benefits 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 the UCC or other provisions of applicable law (including judicial decisions), (b) any provision of any Loan Documents related to Waiver of any rights to 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) and provisions restricting access to courts or to legal or equitable remedies
or purporting to contractually submit the Company and the other Loan Parties to the jurisdiction, venue and personal jurisdiction of particular courts and advance consent to the manner of service of process, or (c) any provision of the Loan
Documents that (i) provide that decisions by a party are conclusive; (ii) expressly or by implication waive unknown rights, defenses granted by law or claims that have not matured, where such Waivers are against public policy or prohibited
by laws; (iii) allow or authorize the delay or omission of enforcement of any remedy or right; (iv) waive the legal rights of any party in advance; (v) sever unenforceable provisions from the Loan Documents, to the extent that
enforcement of remaining provisions would frustrate the fundamental intent of the parties to the Loan Documents, and (vi) provide for interest recapture under Section 11.17(d) of the Note Agreement; 

(iii) the enforceability of any provision in the Loan Documents specifying that provisions thereof may be waived only in writing, to the
extent that an oral agreement or an implied agreement by trade practice or course of conduct has been created that modifies any provision of such Loan Documents; 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 6 
  

(iv) the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents that purports to give any person or entity the power to accelerate
obligations without any notice to the Company; the effect of any law or any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas wherein any Purchaser or any other Holders or any Loan Party may be located or wherein enforcement of any Loan Documents may be
sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible; and 
 (v) the enforceability of cumulative remedies
to the extent such cumulative remedies purport to or would have the effect of compensating the party entitled to the benefits thereof in amounts in excess of the actual loss suffered by such party (other than the Make-Whole Premium, as to which we
opine in paragraph C.3 below). 
 3. With regard to the provisions of the Note Agreement providing for payment of the
Make-Whole Premium in certain circumstances, this firm also advises you that, according to at least one commentator, prepayment fees may be characterized as penalties and thus are not enforceable under Texas law in certain circumstances, especially
when triggered by an involuntary prepayment (such as acceleration due on default). See Stark’s “Enforcing Prepayment Charges: Case Law and Drafting Suggestions,” 22 Real Property, Probate and Trust Journal (1987); In re
Abramoff, 92 Bankruptcy Reporter 698 (W.D. Texas 1988) (distinguishing between a prepayment fee in the case of a voluntary prepayment and one in the case of an involuntary prepayment, and characterizing the latter as interest). But, see
Parker Plaza West Partners v. Union Pension and Insurance Company, 941 F.2d 349 (5th Cir. 1991), wherein the Fifth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals held that a prepayment fee triggered by an involuntary prepayment is enforceable
under Texas law. See also, Meisler v. Republic of Texas Savings Association, 758 S.W.2d 878 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1988, no writ), which upheld a prepayment fee under Texas law in the context of a due-on-sale clause. This firm,
therefore, concludes that, subject to the foregoing, the Make-Whole Premium is enforceable under Texas law; as discussed below under Paragraph C.9, according to the Abramoff decision, the Make-Whole Premium might possibly be
characterized as interest in the context of an involuntary prepayment. 
 4. In expressing this firm’s opinions in
Paragraph B.4, this firm has assumed without independent investigation that each of the Guarantors is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which each is organized, that each such Guarantor
has the power to enter into and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party, that such Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each such Guarantor, that neither the execution, delivery nor performance of their
respective obligations thereunder will conflict with or violate any laws, rules or regulations (other than the laws, rules and regulations of the State of Texas and of the United States and the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware
Revised Limited Partnership Act) applicable to them. 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 7 
  

5. The opinion expressed in Paragraph B.7 is based on the assumed veracity of the representations and warranties of the
Purchasers contained in Section 7.01 of the Note Agreement. The opinion expressed in Paragraph B.8 is based on the assumption that the proceeds of the Notes contemplated by the Note Agreement are used solely in the manner prescribed in the
Note Agreement. 
 6. To the extent that the obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties may be dependent upon
such matters, this firm has assumed for purposes of this opinion, without independent investigation, that each of the Purchasers is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized,
that the Note Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and is enforceable against each of the Purchasers in accordance with its terms, and that each of the Purchasers has the requisite power and authority to perform its
obligations under the Note Agreement. This firm expresses no opinion as to the compliance by each of the Purchasers with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents because of the nature
of its business or facts relating specifically to them, or as to the effect of any such noncompliance on the opinions set forth above, and this firm has assumed that each of the Purchasers has obtained and maintains all consents, approvals, and has
taken all action that might be required by reason of their involvement in this transaction based upon its legal or regulatory status or other factors relating specifically to the Purchasers. 

7. The qualification of any opinion or statement herein by the use of the words “to this firm’s knowledge” means that
during the course of representation, as described in this opinion, no information has come to the attention of the attorneys in this firm engaged to represent the Company and any of the other Loan Parties professionally which would give such
attorneys current actual knowledge of the existence of the facts so qualified. Except as set forth herein, this firm has not undertaken any investigation to determine the existence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge thereof shall be
drawn from the fact of our representation of any party or otherwise. 
 8. With respect to the opinion expressed in
Section B.10, we have relied upon Texas Business and Commerce Code §35.51, which was adopted effective September 1, 1993, and which provides in pertinent part, that: 

if the parties to a qualified transaction agree in writing that the law of a particular jurisdiction governs an issue relating to the








 December 28, 2005 
 Page 8 
  


transaction, including the validity or enforceability of an agreement relating to the transaction or a provision of the agreement, and the transaction bears a reasonable relation to that
jurisdiction, the law, other than conflict of laws rules, of that jurisdiction governs the issue regardless of whether the application of that law is contrary to a fundamental or public policy of this state or of any other jurisdiction. 

The statute defines a reasonable relation to exist if, among other things, “a party to the transaction has its place of
business...in that jurisdiction,” “a party to the transaction is required to perform a substantial part of its obligations relating to the transaction, such as delivering payments, in that jurisdiction,” “a substantial part of
the negotiations relating to the transaction,” and “the signing of an agreement relating to the transaction by a party to the transaction, occurred in that jurisdiction,” or “all or part of the subject matter of the transaction
is located in that jurisdiction.” 
 Based upon our understanding of the facts of the transaction that is the subject of
the Loan Documents, particularly (i) the payment by the Purchasers of $40,000,000 of the purchase price for the aggregate of the Notes pursuant to the Note Agreement is to originate from the State of New York; and (ii) payments of
$40,000,000 in principal amount of the Notes (representing 100% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes) are required to be made in the State of New York, at least one of the required enumerated circumstances constituting a
statutorily defined “reasonable relation” exists between this transaction and the State of New York. We are aware of no reported decision of a Texas court construing the validity of or interpreting this statute and inform you that prior to
the date of its adoption the contractual choice-of-law rules in Texas in this type of transaction were unsettled. See Woods-Tucker Leasing Corp. of Georgia v. Hutcheson-Ingram Development Company, 642 F.2d 744 (5th Cir. 1981), and the Texas
state cases cited therein; DeSantis v. Wackenhut Corp., 793 S.W.2d 670 (Tex. 1990). See also, Chase Manhattan Bank v. Greenbrier North Section II, 835 S.W.2d 720 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st] 1992). For purposes of the opinion
expressed in B.10, we have assumed that all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of the chosen jurisdiction, the State of New York. This firm has made no investigation to determine
whether the courts of the State of New York would accept the reference to the laws of the State of New York, or would, under its choice of law doctrines, apply the law of another jurisdiction. 

9. In rendering the opinions expressed in Paragraphs B.3, 4, 5 and 11, these opinions, insofar as they involve the issue of usury, are
expressly limited (i) to an analysis of whether the Loan Documents, as written, will be subject to a defense, claim or setoff as a result 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 9 
  
 
of the Purchasers’ contracting for a usurious rate of interest and (ii) to the issues relating to the contracting for, as opposed to the charging or receiving of, usurious amounts of
interest. To the extent that the enforceability of Loan Documents may be adversely affected by the usury laws of the State of Texas, and to the extent that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents may otherwise involve an analysis of
compliance with such laws, in rendering the opinions in Paragraphs B.3, 4, 5 and 11, this firm assumes (i) that the Purchasers and each other Holder, if any, duly observes the provisions of the Note Agreement limiting the interest contracted
for or to be charged or collected by the Purchasers and any other Holder on or in connection with the loan evidenced by the Notes to amounts that do not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest that may lawfully be contracted for, charged or
collected thereon or in connection therewith under applicable law, (ii) that there exist no agreements or documents that provide for the payment to the Purchasers and other Holders, if any, of amounts deemed to be interest under applicable law
except as specifically provided in the Loan Documents, (iii) that the Company has unrestricted use of the purchase price of the Notes, and (iv) that any acceleration of the maturity of the Notes will not include the right to accelerate any
amounts deemed interest under applicable law that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration. In the bankruptcy case of In re Abramoff, 92 Bankruptcy Reporter 698 (W.D. Texas 1988), the Bankruptcy Court, at subsection C of its
opinion (pages 704-705), distinguished between a prepayment fee in the case of a voluntary prepayment and one in the case of an involuntary prepayment (e.g. acceleration due to default); and, in this firm’s opinion, the court characterized the
prepayment fee as interest. Therefore, this firm advises you that, although according to the Abramoff decision, the Make-Whole Premium might possibly be characterized as interest in the context of an involuntary prepayment, if the Purchasers
and the other Holders, if any, comply with the usury “savings clause” in the Note Agreement, such characterization would not cause the Notes to be usurious, if Texas law was deemed to be applicable to the Notes. 

Further, in rendering the opinions in Paragraphs B.3, 4, 5 and 11, this firm has relied upon the reported decisions of several lower
Texas courts to the effect that a contract requiring the payment of interest on matured, unpaid installments of interest is not usurious. The status of judicial interpretations of Texas usury laws is not yet settled in this regard; therefore, no
absolute opinion can be rendered. In the event that any of the Purchasers or any one or more of the Holders actually demand, charge or collect any amounts in excess of those permitted by any applicable usury laws of the State of Texas, this firm
expresses no opinion as to the effectiveness or enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents that purports to permit the cure of such violation by the rescission of such demand or charge, the refund of excess amounts collected, or
otherwise. 
 10. The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Paragraph B with respect to existence, qualification and
good standing are expressed as of the date on which applicable certificates were issued by authorities of the jurisdiction covered, and have assumed that the certificates so issued evidence, as the case may be, the valid existence, due qualification
and good standing of the entity covered thereby. 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 10 
  
 11. The opinions expressed herein are specifically limited to the laws of the State of Texas and federal law of the United States of America. We note that the Loan Documents have selected laws of the
State of New York to govern this transaction. We express no opinion regarding the laws of the State of New York. In expressing this firm’s opinion in Paragraphs B.3 and B.4 as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Loan
Documents governed by the laws of the State of New York, this firm has assumed that the internal laws of the State of New York do not differ from the internal laws of the State of Texas. 

12. In expressing this firm’s opinion in Paragraph B.6, such opinion relating to Governmental Authorities is expressly
limited to Governmental Authorities of the State of Texas and the United States of America. 
 13. In this firm’s
examinations described in Paragraph A, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Loan Documents, the authenticity of original and certified documents and the genuineness of all signatures thereon, and the
conformity to original or certified documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or reproduction copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, this firm has relied upon, and assumed the accuracy of,
representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents and certificates and written statements and other written information of or from public officials and representatives of the Company and the other Loan Parties. In addition, this
firm’s opinions are limited to a review of only those laws and regulations that are specifically referred to herein and such other laws and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by
the Loan Documents. 
 14. Although this firm has acted as counsel to the Company and the other Loan Parties in connection
with certain other matters, this firm’s engagement is limited to certain matters about which this firm has been consulted, and, consequently, there may exist matters involving the Company and other Loan Parties about which this firm has not
been consulted and for which the firm has not been engaged to represent them. 
 15. Certain of the opinions set forth in
Paragraph B are based upon factual matters not independently verified by this firm and, to that extent, this firm has relied solely upon certain of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents and upon certain of the
statements contained in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company referred to in Paragraph A. 







 December 28, 2005 
 Page 11 
  
 16. This opinion is rendered based on this firm’s interpretation of existing Texas and federal law, and is not intended to speak with reference to standards hereinafter adopted or evolved in
subsequent judicial decisions by Texas or Delaware courts or by federal courts. Additionally, we assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes
in law that may hereafter occur. 
 The opinions set forth herein are expressed solely for the benefit of the Persons and all
future Holders (if any), and no other party shall be entitled to rely hereon without the express written consent of this firm; provided, however, we have no objection to the reliance thereon by Bingham McCutchen LLP, your special counsel, in
connection with the opinion to be rendered by such firm to you on this date pursuant to Section 3.04(c) of the Note Agreement.

 [CASH AMERICA LETTERHEAD] 
 December 28, 2005 
 To each of the Persons listed on 

      Annex 1 hereto 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 I am General Counsel of Cash America International, Inc. (the
“Company”) and, in such capacity, I have represented the Company in connection with (i) the preparation of the Note Agreement dated as of December 28, 2005 (the “Note Agreement”) among the Company and each
of the purchasers listed on Schedule I attached thereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and (ii) the Company’s sale to the Purchasers on this date, pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement, of $40,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.12% Senior Notes Due December 28, 2015. I have also acted as counsel to the “Guarantors” (as defined in the Note Agreement and, together with the Company, the “Loan
Parties”) in connection with the preparation of the Joint and Several Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement (the “Subrogation and Contribution Agreement”), each dated as
of December 28, 2005, executed and delivered by the Guarantors pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Note Agreement. This opinion is being delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 3.04(b) of the Note Agreement. 

As used herein, (a) “Corporate Guarantor” means each Guarantor which is a corporation (as indicated in Schedule II to the Note
Agreement) and (b) “Partnership Guarantor” means each Guarantor which is a partnership (as indicated in Schedule II to the Note Agreement). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein that are
defined in the Note Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Note Agreement. 
 I have examined the following
documents: 
  

	 	a)	executed counterparts of the Note Agreement, the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement; 


 

	 	b)	the Company’s promissory notes, dated the date hereof, in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 and in the form of Exhibit A attached to the Note
Agreement (the “Notes” and, together with the Note Agreement, the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, the “Loan Documents”); 


 

	 	c)	copies of certain resolutions of the respective boards of directors of the Corporate Guarantors; 








 December 28, 2005 
 Page 2 
  
  

	 	d)	copies of certain resolutions of the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership Guarantors; 


 

	 	e)	copies of the respective charters and bylaws of the Corporate Guarantors; 

  


	 	f)	copies of the respective partnership agreements of the Partnership Guarantors; and 


 

	 	g)	the originals or copies of such other certificates, instruments and documents (including Applicable Contracts and records of the Loan Parties, certificates of public
officials and certificates of officers of the Loan Parties) as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. 

 For purposes of this opinion, I have, with your approval and without independent investigation, assumed (i) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Note Agreement by the Purchasers,
(ii) the genuineness of the signatures appearing on all documents examined by me, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and (iv) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted
to me as certified, conformed, or copies in photostatic or pdf format. 
 Certain of the opinions set forth below are based upon factual matters
not independently established or verified by me and, to that extent, I have relied solely upon certain of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents and upon certain of the statements contained in the certificates of public
officials and of officers of the Company and the Corporate Guarantors referred to above. 
 Based upon the foregoing and subject to the
qualifications, limitations and assumptions set out at the end of this letter, I am of the opinion that: 
  

	 	1.	Each Corporate Guarantor (a) is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation (as indicated
in Schedule II to the Note Agreement) and (b) has the corporate power and authority to (i) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, (ii) own and hold under
lease the Properties that it purports to own or hold under lease (as described in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “10-K Report”)) and (iii) transact the
business described with respect to it in the 10-K Report. 

  

	 	2.	Each Loan Party is duly qualified as a foreign Person and is in good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the character of the Properties owned or held under lease by
it or the nature of the business transacted by it requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 








 December 28, 2005 
 Page 3 
  
  

	 	3.	The Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Guarantor and constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms. 

  

	 	4.	Neither the execution nor delivery of any Loan Document by any Loan Party nor the compliance by such Loan Party with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party will (i) violate any provision of the charter or bylaws or the partnership agreement, as the case may be, of such Loan Party, (ii) contravene any Legal Requirement to which such Loan Party is subject or
(iii) result in any breach of, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any Property of such Loan Party pursuant to, any Applicable Contract. 


 

	 	5.	Other than the consent of lenders under the Existing Bank Loan Agreement, which consent has been received, no consent, approval, authorization or order of any
Governmental Authority or, to my knowledge, any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. 


 

	 	6.	All of the outstanding Stock of each corporate Guarantor and outstanding partnership interests of each Guarantor that is a partnership have been validly issued, are
fully paid and nonassessable and, except for (a) directors’ qualifying shares or partnership interests (if any) and (b) 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Stock of RATI Holding, Inc., all such Stock and partnership interests are owned
by the Company or its subsidiaries, free and clear of any Lien. 

  

	 	7.	There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to my knowledge after due inquiry, threatened against the Company or any Guarantor in any court or before any
arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

 The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications, limitations and assumptions: 
  

	 	a)	The enforceability opinion expressed in paragraph 3 above is subject to the effects of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium,
fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) the application of the principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in proceedings at
law or in equity) and (iii) applicable laws and court decisions that may limit the enforceability of certain remedial and other provisions of the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, but such laws and decisions should not,
in my opinion, materially diminish the ultimate practical realization of the principal legal benefits intended to be provided thereby, except for the economic consequences of any delay which may result therefrom. 








 December 28, 2005

	 	b)	I am not licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas and do not purport to be an expert with respect to any laws other than (i) the
laws of the State of Texas, (ii) the Regulatory Acts applicable to the businesses of the respective Loan Parties, (iii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (iv) the Delaware Revised Limited Partnership Act and
(v) the laws of the United States of America applicable to the businesses of the respective Loan Parties (collectively, the “Primary Laws”). To the extent that the opinions contained herein cover the laws other than the Primary
Laws (the “Secondary Laws”), you are advised that my familiarity with the Secondary Laws is limited because I am not licensed to practice, and do not practice, law in jurisdictions in respect of which the Secondary Laws are
applicable and I do not purport to be an expert with respect to the Secondary Laws. Accordingly, my opinions with respect to the Secondary Laws are necessarily more limited than a typical legal opinion as to such matters and my opinions with respect
thereto should be viewed as conclusions derived by me based solely on my limited familiarity with the Secondary Laws by reason of my capacity as General Counsel of the Company, which owns the Corporate Guarantors, and general principles of corporate
or partnership law. I am not a member of the State Bar of Delaware, and my knowledge of its corporation and partnership law is derived solely from a reading of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and the Delaware Revised Limited Partnership Act.


  

	 	c)	I note that the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement provide that they are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York. I express no opinion regarding the laws of the State of New York. In expressing my opinion in paragraph 3 as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, I
have assumed that the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement provide that they are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas rather than the internal laws of the State of New York.


  

	 	d)	The provisions of the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement which permit the Purchasers or any other Holders to take action or make determinations, or
to benefit from indemnities and similar undertakings of the Loan Parties, may be subject to a requirement that such action be taken or such determination be made, and that any action or inaction by the Purchasers or such Holders that may give rise
to a request for payment under such undertaking be taken or not taken, on a reasonable basis and in good faith. 

  

	 	e)	 To the extent that the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement may be dependent upon such
matters, I have assumed for purposes of this opinion, without independent investigation, that each of the Purchasers is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, that the Note
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Purchasers and is enforceable against the Purchasers in 









 December 28, 2005 
 Page 5 
  


accordance with its terms, and that each of the Purchasers has the requisite power and authority to perform its obligations under the Note Agreement. I express no opinion as to the compliance by
the Purchasers with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement because of the nature of its business or facts relating specifically to the
Purchasers or as to the effect of any such noncompliance on the opinions set forth above, and I have assumed that each of the Purchasers has obtained and maintains all consents and approvals, and has taken all action that might be required by reason
of its involvement in this transaction based upon its legal or regulatory status or other factors relating specifically to it. 
  

	 	f)	The opinion expressed in paragraphs 1 and 2 with respect to existence, due qualification and good standing of certain of the Corporate Guarantors is expressed as of the
date on which applicable certificates were issued by authorities of the jurisdictions covered, and I have assumed that the certificates so issued evidence, as the case may be, the valid existence, due qualification and good standing of the entities
covered thereby. 

  

	 	g)	This opinion is rendered based upon existing Primary and Secondary Laws, and it is not intended to speak with reference to standards hereinafter adopted or evolved in
subsequent judicial decisions. Additionally, I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to my attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.


  

	 	h)	Insofar as the enforceability opinion in paragraph 3 may be affected by such matters, I express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any
provision (other than Section 5.02 of the Note Agreement) of the Note Agreement obligating the Company to pay the Make-Whole Premium. 

  

	 	i)	I express no opinion herein with respect to the enforceability of any indemnity provisions to the extent such provisions are determined to be contrary to public policy,
as interpreted by the courts of the State of Texas and the courts of the United States. 

  

	 	j)	Without my prior written consent, this opinion may not be relied upon in any manner by any Person except the Purchasers and all future Holders, if any.


  

	
	Very truly yours,

 To the Purchasers

 Re: Cash America International, Inc. (the “Company”)  

        $40,000,000 6.12% Senior Notes due December 28, 2015 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We have
acted as special counsel for each of the Purchasers named on Annex 1 hereto (the “Purchasers”) in connection with that certain Note Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2005 (the “Note Agreement”), by and
among the Company, a Texas corporation, and the Purchasers, which provides, among other things, for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Company’s 6.12% Senior Notes (the “Notes”) due December 28, 2015, in the
aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000. 
 The capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings
assigned to them by or pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement. This opinion is delivered to each of the Purchasers pursuant to Section 3.04(c) of the Note Agreement. Our representation of the Purchasers has been as special counsel for the
purposes stated above. 
 As to all matters of fact (including factual conclusions and characterizations and descriptions of
purpose, intention or state of mind), we have relied, with your permission, entirely upon: 
 (1) the representations and
warranties of the Company and the Purchasers set forth in the Note Agreement; and 
 (2) certificates of certain officers
of the Company described in paragraph (v) below and the Offeree Letter; 
 and have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of
those representations, warranties, certificates and Offeree Letter. 
 In connection with this opinion, we have examined
originals or copies of the following documents: 
 (i) the Note Agreement; 

(ii) the Notes, each dated the date hereof, in the form of Exhibit A to the Note Agreement and registered in the
names and in the respective principal amounts and with the respective registration numbers as set forth on Schedule I of the Note Agreement; 







 To each of the Purchasers listed on the attached Annex 1 

December 28, 2005

 (iii) that certain Joint and Several Guaranty dated as of the date hereof (the “Guaranty”), issued by certain Subsidiaries of the Company listed on the signature pages thereto (the
“Guarantors”); 
 (iv) that certain Subrogation and Contribution Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (the “Subrogation and Contribution Agreement”) among the Company and the Guarantors; 

(v) a certificate of the Secretary of the Company, dated the date hereof, delivered pursuant to Section 3.05 of the
Note Agreement, and annexing thereto (among other documents) and certifying as accurate and complete: 
  

	 	(i)	the incumbency of certain officers of the Company; 

  

	 	(ii)	copies of those certain resolutions passed by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Resolutions”) authorizing participation in the
transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents (as defined below); and 

  

	 	(iii)	a copy of the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”). 


(vi) an Officers’ Certificate on behalf of the Company, dated the date hereof, with respect to the matters set forth
therein (the “Compliance Certificate”); 
 (vii) a copy of the certificate of incorporation of
the Company, including any amendments thereto, certified by the Secretary of State of Texas (together with the Bylaws, the “Company Governing Documents”); 

(viii) a letter from Piper Jaffray & Co., dated the date hereof, making certain representations with respect to
the manner in which the Notes were offered (the “Offeree Letter”); 
 (ix) a Cross Receipt
evidencing receipt of funds by the Company and receipt of the Notes by the Purchasers (the “Cross Receipt”); 
 (x) the opinion of Jenkens & Gilchrist, a Professional Corporation, counsel to the Company and the Guarantors, dated the date hereof and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to
Section 3.04(a) of the Note Agreement; and 







 To each of the Purchasers listed on the attached Annex 1 

December 28, 2005 
 Page 3 

Bingham McCutchen LLP 
 bingham.com 
  
 (xi) the opinion of J. Curtis Linscott, General Counsel to the Company and the Guarantors, dated the date hereof and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 3.04(b) of the Note Agreement.

 The Note Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranty and the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement are sometimes
referred to herein as the “Financing Documents.” 
 This opinion is based entirely on our review 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 opinions referred to in subparagraphs (x) and (xi) above are satisfactory in form and scope to us, and, in our opinion, you are
justified in relying thereon. 
 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 certificate of incorporation, limited liability company agreement, by-laws, and other governing organizational documents, and under applicable corporate, limited liability
company, 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 and the Guarantors, are binding upon and enforceable against, such Persons. In addition, we have relied upon the Offeree Letter without independent investigation. 

For purposes of this opinion, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary. Except to the extent addressed below in
paragraph 5, 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 and the federal laws of the United States of America (except
for federal and state tax, utilities, national security or antitrust laws, as to which we express no opinion), and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other 







 To each of the Purchasers listed on the attached Annex 1 

December 28, 2005 
 Page 4 

Bingham McCutchen LLP 
 bingham.com 
  
 
jurisdiction. Our opinion in paragraph 2 below is based solely on a review of the Company Governing Documents and we have not made 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’s jurisdiction of organization. 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 “Chosen-Law Provision”). Except to
the extent addressed below in paragraph 5, no opinion is given herein as to any Chosen-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 “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction. 

Our opinion is further subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions, all of which we understand to be acceptable
to the Purchasers: 
 (a) We have assumed without any independent investigation (i) 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 Company Governing Documents (including, without limitation, applicable corporate charter documents and bylaws), 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, (ii) 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, and (iii) that the Financing Documents are a valid and binding obligation of each party thereto to the extent that laws other than those of
the State of New York are relevant thereto (other than the laws of the United States of America, but only to the limited extent the same may be applicable to the Company and relevant to our opinions expressed below). 

(b) 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’ rights and remedies (including such as may deny giving effect to waivers of debtors’
or guarantors’ 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. 







 To each of the Purchasers listed on the attached Annex 1 

December 28, 2005 
 Page 5 

Bingham McCutchen LLP 
 bingham.com 
  
 (c) We express no opinion as to the availability of any specific or equitable relief of any kind. 
 (d) The enforcement of any of the Purchasers’ 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). 
 (e) We express no opinion as to the effect
of suretyship defenses, or defenses in the nature thereof, with respect to the obligations of any party to the Guaranty or the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement. 

(f) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any particular provision of any of the Financing Documents relating
to: 
 (i) waivers of rights to object to jurisdiction or venue, or consents to jurisdiction or venue; 

(ii) 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) waivers of any applicable defenses, setoffs, recoupments, or counterclaims; 

(iv) 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) waivers or variations of legal provisions or rights which are not capable
of waiver or variation under applicable law; 
 (vi) the imposition or collection of interest on overdue interest or
providing for a penalty rate of interest or late charges on overdue or defaulted obligations, or the payment of any premium, liquidated damages, or other amount which may be held by any court to be a “penalty” or a “forfeiture”;
or 







 To each of the Purchasers listed on the attached Annex 1 

December 28, 2005 
 Page 6 

Bingham McCutchen LLP 
 bingham.com 
  
 (vii) provisions in the Financing Documents rendered ineffective or unenforceable by Part 4 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York. 

(g) 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 determination specifically applicable to the Company. 

(h) 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. 

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

1. Each of the Note Agreement and the Notes constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms. 

2. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Note Agreement and the Notes, the issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company,
and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Note Agreement and the Notes will not constitute a violation of any of the provisions of the Company Governing Documents or any law, statute, rule or regulation of the State of New
York. 
 3. No consents, approvals or authorizations of Governmental Authorities of the State of New York or the United
States of America in respect of the Company or any Guarantor are required to be obtained or effected under the laws of the State of New York or the United States of America in connection with (a) the execution and delivery by the Company of the
Note Agreement, (b) the execution and delivery by the Company and each Guarantor of the Guaranty, or (c) the offer, issue, sale and delivery of the Notes by the Company under the circumstances contemplated by the Note Agreement.

 4. The offer and sale by the Company of the Notes delivered to you today under the circumstances contemplated by the
Financing Documents 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.








 To each of the Purchasers listed on the attached Annex 1 

December 28, 2005

 5. Each Chosen-Law Provision is 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. 
 This opinion is delivered solely to the Purchasers and for the Purchasers’
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 or entity (other than future holders of Notes acquired in accordance with the terms of the Note
Agreement) for any reason without our prior written consent.

 ARTICLE II 

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY 
 Section 2.01. Guaranty. 
 (a) Subject to Section 2.01(d)
below, the Guarantors, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full and prompt (i) payment in full when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all Guaranteed Obligations,
including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§362(a), and the operations of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§502(b) and §§506(b), except, in the case of any Guarantor, as such sections are applicable in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding initiated by or against such Guarantor and
(ii) performance in full of all obligations of the Company under the Note Agreement and the other Operative Documents. 

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right
to require that any resort be had by the Purchasers, any other Holder or any other Person to any security held for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any account or credit on the books of the Purchasers, any other
Holder or any other Person in favor of the Company or any other Person. The guaranty provided for herein shall be a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. 

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Purchasers,
any other Holder or any other Person may have at law or in equity against such Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether by required
prepayment, acceleration or otherwise (including amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§362(a) except as such section is applicable in
connection with a bankruptcy proceeding initiated by or against such Guarantor), such Guarantor will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Holders an amount in the aggregate equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such
Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including, interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to the Company, would accrue on such
Guaranteed Obligations) and (iii) all other Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid. 
 (d) Anything herein or in
the Note Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to
the insolvency of debtors and fraudulent conveyance. 

  
 Exhibit E-4









 Section 2.02. Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. 

None of the Guaranteed Obligations nor any of the liabilities and obligations of the Guarantors to the Holders hereunder shall be reduced,
discharged, terminated or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person against the Holders (or any of them) or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing or the Guarantors’ liability hereunder, to the
extent that the Holders do not receive payments or benefits on the Notes in the amounts and at the times required or provided by the Operative Documents or Legal Requirements, the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall be absolutely liable to make
such payments to (and confer such benefits on) the Holders, on a timely basis. 
 Section 2.03. Irrevocability of Guaranty.

 This Guaranty is intended to be an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of
collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by any Guarantor or the Company. 
 Section 2.04. Payment by the Guarantors.

 If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at maturity or earlier by
acceleration or otherwise, the Guarantors shall, immediately upon demand by Purchasers or any Holder, whether individually or collectively, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate
or acceleration or any other notice whatsoever, jointly and severally pay the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to the Holders. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand(s) shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof. 

Section 2.05. Payment of Expenses. 
 In the event any Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall, immediately upon demand by the Holders, jointly and severally pay all costs and
expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Holders (or any of them) in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of the Holders’ rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section 2.05 shall
survive the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 Section 2.06. No Duty to Pursue Others. 

(a) It shall not be necessary for the Holders (and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights which such Guarantor may have to require
the Holders), in order to enforce payment by 

  
 Exhibit E-5









 
such Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust their remedies against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person, (ii) enforce the Holders’ rights
against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) enforce the Holders’ rights against any other Guarantors, (iv) join the Company, any other Guarantor or any others liable on the
Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to the Holders against any security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations or (vi) resort to any other
means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (b) The Holders shall not be required to mitigate damages or
take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (c) Each Guarantor expressly waives each
and every right to which it may be entitled by virtue of any suretyship law, including any rights pursuant to Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, Section 17.001 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code of Texas, and
Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code. 
 Section 2.07. Complete Waiver of Subrogation. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, notwithstanding any payment or payments made hereunder
or any set-off or application by any Holder of any security or of any credits or claims, no Guarantor will assert or exercise any rights of any Holder or of such Guarantor against the Company to recover the amount of any payment made by such
Guarantor to any Holder hereunder by way of any claim, remedy or subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnity, participation or otherwise arising by contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, and no Guarantor shall have
any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the Company, whether or not the obligations of the Company have been satisfied. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions of the Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any claim, right or remedy which such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire
against the Company or any other Guarantor that arises under this Guaranty or any Operative Document or from the performance by any Guarantor of the guaranty hereunder, including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification or participation in any claim, right or remedy of any Holder against the Company or any Guarantor, or any security that any Holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in
equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of the Subrogation and
Contribution Agreement, each Guarantor agrees not to seek contribution or indemnity or other recourse from any other Guarantor or other Person. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to any Guarantor by the Company or another Guarantor prior to
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Holders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The
provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Guaranty, and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal or state law. 

  
 Exhibit E-6









 Section 2.08. Waiver of Notices, Etc. 

The Guarantors consent and agree to the provisions of the Operative Documents and hereby waive notice of (a) any loans made by the
Purchasers or any other Holder to the Company, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or extension of the Notes or the other Operative Documents or of any other instrument or document pertaining to all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations, (d) the execution and delivery by the Company and any Holder of any other agreement or of the Company’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents in connection therewith, (e) the
occurrence of any breach by the Company or of any Event of Default, (f) any transfer or disposition by a Holder of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, (g) any sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or
foreclosure) of the collateral, if any shall at any time exist, for the Guaranteed Obligations, (h) protest, presentment, demand for payment and proof of nonpayment, (i) notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of intent to accelerate,
notice of acceleration, notice of default by the Company or any other Person and all other notices whatsoever, (j) any requirement that any Person proceed against the Company or any security for, or any other Person primarily or secondarily
obligated with respect to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or exercise any other right or remedy against the Company or any other Person, (k) any right to require marshaling of assets and liabilities, (1) all diligence in collection or
protection of or realization upon the Guaranteed Obligations or any thereof, or any obligation hereunder, or any guarantee of the foregoing and (m) any other action at any time taken or omitted by or on behalf of the Purchasers or any other
Holder pursuant to or in connection with the Note Agreement or the Notes. 
 Section 2.09. Effect of Bankruptcy, Other Matters.

 In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any
judgment, order or decision thereunder, or for any other reason, (a) any Holder must rescind, return or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by or for the benefit of such Holder in satisfaction (in whole or in part) of the
Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, then (i) any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to the Guarantors (or any of them) by the Holders shall be without effect notwithstanding such payment or the application
thereof and (ii) this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Guaranteed Obligations, all as though such payment had not been made, (b) the Company shall cease to be liable to
the Holders for any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than by reason of the indefeasible payment in full thereof by the Company), then the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the
intention of the Purchasers, the other Holders and the Guarantors that the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by the Guarantors’ performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the Purchasers, the other Holders and the Guarantors that the filing of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding by or against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person
obligated on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not affect the obligations of the Guarantors or the remaining Guarantors, as the case may be, under this Guaranty or the rights of the Holders under this Guaranty, including the right or
ability of the Holders, whether individually or collectively, to pursue or institute suit against the Guarantors (or any of them) for the entire Guaranteed Obligations.

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS 
 Section 6.01. Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. 
 As used herein,
the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts, liabilities and claims of the Company to one or more of the Guarantors or of any Guarantor to one or more other 

  
 Exhibit E-13









 
Guarantors, in each case whether such debts, liabilities and claims now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of the Company or such Guarantor thereon be direct,
contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts, liabilities or claims be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose
favor such debts, liabilities or claims may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, and irrespective of the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid and
satisfied in full and the Guarantors shall have performed all of their obligations hereunder, no Guarantor shall demand, receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from the Company or any other Person (including another Guarantor) any amount upon
the Guarantor Claims; provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company and each Guarantor may, in the ordinary course of business, repay loans which the Company or such Guarantor has received from any other
Guarantor in accordance with the Note Agreement. 
 Section 6.02. Claims in Bankruptcy. 

In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving the
Company or any Guarantor as debtor, each Holder shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments
which would otherwise be payable to such Holder upon Guarantor Claims. The Guarantors hereby assign such dividends and payments to the Holders. 

Section 6.03. Payments Held in Trust. 
 In the event that, notwithstanding Sections 6.01 and 6.02 above, any Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which are prohibited by such Sections, such Guarantor agrees
(i) to hold in trust for the Holders, in kind, all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, (ii) that such Guarantor shall have absolutely no dominion over such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to
pay them promptly to the Holders and (iii) promptly to pay the same to the Holders. 
 Section 6.04. Liens Subordinate.

 Each Guarantor agrees that any Liens upon the Company’s assets or upon assets of any Guarantor securing payment of
the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to the Liens, if any, upon the Company’s assets or such Guarantor’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such Liens in favor of the
Guarantors or the Holders presently exist or are hereafter created or attached. Without the prior written consent of the Holders, no Guarantor shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against the Company or any other
Guarantor or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s
relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Liens upon the assets of the Company or any other Guarantor held by, or for the benefit of, such Guarantor.

of, any Guarantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Guaranty. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 7.01. Waiver and Amendment.

other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of the Holders hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law or by the Operative Documents. No modification or waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the
right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. 
 (b) This Guaranty may
be changed, amended, waived or terminated only by an instrument in writing executed by the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders.

Provisions. 
 If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future
laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the
remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as
modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.

The Purchasers and each other Holder may, from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors (or any of them), assign or transfer all or
a part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any interest therein, and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Guaranteed Obligations shall be and remain Guaranteed Obligations for purposes
of this Guaranty, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Guaranteed Obligations,
be entitled to the benefit of this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the Purchasers or such other Holder, as the case may be.

 Exhibit E-17









 Section 7.10. Multiple Counterparts. 

This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and
any of the parties hereto may execute this Guaranty by signing any such counterpart. 
 Section 7.11. Rights and Remedies.

 If any Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by the Company to the Holders, by endorsement or otherwise,
other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby and the rights of the Holders hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights the Holders may ever have against such Guarantor. The
exercise by any Holder of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. 

Section 7.12. Relation to Note Agreement. 
 This Guaranty has been executed and delivered pursuant to, and is subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in, the Note Agreement, and is the Guaranty referred to therein. 

Section 7.13. Payments. 
 All payments payable or to be payable pursuant to this Guaranty shall be payable in immediately available funds and in such coin or currency of the United States of America that, at the time of payment,
is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the United States of America and shall be made by electronic funds transfer to such bank and/or account in the continental United States for the account of the payee as from time to time
the payee shall have directed to the payor in writing, or, if no such direction shall have been given by the Purchasers, in the manner and at the address set forth in Schedule I to the Note Agreement or, if no such direction shall have been
given by any other Holder, by check of the payor payable to the order of such Holder and mailed to such Holder in the manner and at the address set forth in Section 7.02 hereof. 
 Section 7.14. Interest. 
 (a) Any amounts due under this Guaranty
which are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at the rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 
 (b) The
foregoing paragraph (a) is expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or otherwise agreed to be paid, thereunder by any Guarantor to any Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money exceed that amount of
money which would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and all amounts owed by any Guarantor under such paragraph (a) shall be held to be subject to reduction to the effect that such amounts so paid or agreed
to be paid by such Guarantor which are for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall in no event exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

  
 Exhibit E-18









 (c) Anything in this Section 7.14 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Guarantor
shall ever be required by this Section 7.14 to pay unearned interest or ever be required by this Section 7.14 to pay interest at a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and if the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be
payable by such Guarantor under this Section 7.14 would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if any Holder shall receive any unearned interest from such Guarantor under this Section 7.14 or shall receive monies from such Guarantor under this
Section 7.14 that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by such Guarantor under this Section 7.14 to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest
which would otherwise be payable by such Guarantor under this Section 7.14 shall be reduced to the amount allowed under applicable law and (ii) any unearned interest paid by such Guarantor under this Section 7.14 or any interest paid
by such Guarantor under this Section 7.14 in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be in the first instance credited on the principal of the Guaranteed Obligations with the excess thereof, if any, refunded to such Guarantor. 

(d) It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged
or received by any Holder under this Section 7.14 which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to this Guaranty (now or hereafter
enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of this Guaranty all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by such Holder under this Section 7.14. 

(e) If, at any time and from time to time, (i) the amount of interest payable under this Section 7.14 by any Guarantor to
any Holder on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Holder would be less than the Highest Lawful Rate, then the
amount of interest payable by such Guarantor to such Holder under this Section 7.14 in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest payable by
such Guarantor to such Holder shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Holder by such Guarantor if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 7.14. 

Section 7.15. Judgment Currency. 
 (a) The obligation of each Guarantor hereunder to make payments to any Holder in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or
converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by such Holder of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to such Holder under this Guaranty. If for the
purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Guarantor in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency being referred to in this Section 7.15 as
the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made, at the Dollar Equivalent, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being referred to in
this Section 7.15 as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”). For purposes of this Section 7.15, 

  
 Exhibit E-19









 
the term “Dollar Equivalent” shall mean, with respect to any monetary amount in a currency other than Dollars, at any time for the determination thereof, the amount of Dollars
obtained by converting such foreign currency involved in such computation into Dollars at the spot rate for the purchase of Dollars with the applicable foreign currency as quoted to such Holder by a nationally recognized commercial bank or
investment bank, which is not affiliated with such Holder, at approximately 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of determination thereof specified herein. 
 (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment by the relevant Guarantor of the amount due, such Guarantor
covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing
on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

 (c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent for this Section 7.15, such amounts shall include any premium
and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Dollars. 
 Section 7.16. Performance of Covenants; etc. 

Each Guarantor agrees, as an independent undertaking with the Purchasers and the other Holders, to perform the covenants applicable to it
contained in Article 8 and Article 9 of the Note Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall undertake any course of action inconsistent with the provisions or intent of this Guaranty or any of the Operative Documents. The
Company and each Guarantor will promptly do all acts and things and take all such measures as may be necessary or appropriate, or as the Required Holders may reasonably request, to comply as soon as practicable with the terms, conditions and
provisions of this Guaranty.
