EXHIBIT A

Form of Opinion of Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and, based solely on the Good Standing Certificate, in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as of the date of such certificate, and has the corporate power and authority to own or hold its properties and to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged as described in the Prospectus.

2. No filing with, notice to, or consent, approval, authorization or order of any governmental agency or body or official of the Commonwealth of Virginia or, to our knowledge, any court thereof, is required to be made or obtained in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Terms Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Terms Agreement, except as may be required under the blue sky laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (as to which we express no opinion).

3. The Terms Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

4. None of the execution and delivery by the Company of the Terms Agreement, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Terms Agreement and the Indenture, or the issuance and sale of the Notes or compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, will (a) violate the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws or (b) violate any law, rule, regulation or order, known to us to be applicable to the Company, of any Virginia court or governmental agency under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.


EXHIBIT B

Form of Opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP

1. Each subsidiary of the Company listed on Annex A (each, a “Significant Subsidiary”) is a validly existing limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with the requisite corporate or other power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus.

2. The Indenture constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

3. The Notes, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

4. The Note Documents have been duly executed by the Company, to the extent such actions are governed by the laws of the State of New York.

5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Note Documents to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations thereunder, and the issuance by the Company of the Notes to the Underwriters:

(i) do not and will not result in a breach of or default under any agreement to which the Company is a party that is identified to us in a certificate of the Company as being material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, which agreements are listed on Annex B; and

(ii) do not and will not violate, or require any filing with or approval of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America under, any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America applicable to the Company that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions in the nature of those contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except for such filings or approvals as already have been made or obtained under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

6. Insofar as the statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes” and “Description of Debt Securities” purport to describe specific provisions of the Notes or the Indenture, such statements present in all material respects an accurate summary of such provisions.

7. Insofar as the statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” purport to describe specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or legal conclusions with respect thereto, such statements present in all material respects an accurate summary of such provisions or conclusions.


8. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the sale of the Notes and the use of proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). For purposes of this paragraph 8, the term “investment company” has the meanings ascribed to such term in the Investment Company Act.

9. On the basis of the foregoing, and except for the financial statements and schedules, statistical information that is purported to have been provided on the authority of an expert or public official and other information of an accounting or financial nature and the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 of the Trustee included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion or belief, no facts have come to our attention that led us to believe: (a) that the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective (which, for purposes of this letter, shall mean [•]), or the Prospectus, as of the date of the Final Prospectus Supplement, were not appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; or (b)(i) that the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) that the General Disclosure Package, at the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date hereof, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
