For the purpose of rendering this opinion we have exclusively examined and relied on the following documents:

(1) a pdf copy of the fully executed Registration Statement dated 2 August 2011;

(2) a pdf copy of the deed of incorporation of the Company containing the current articles of association of the Company, dated 26 March 2009 (the “Articles”);

(3) a pdf copy of the executed Written Resolutions of the Sole Shareholder of the Company, executed on 2 August 2011 inter alia approving that the Company enters into the Registration Form (the “Shareholder’s Resolution”);

(4) a pdf copy of the executed Written Resolutions of the Board (het bestuur) of the Company, executed on 2 August 2011 to inter alia enter into the Registration Form (the “Board Resolution”);

(5) an online excerpt of the registration in the Trade Registry of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Amsterdam for the Company, dated 28 July 2011 (the “Excerpt”).

For the purpose of rendering this opinion we have, except as expressly stated herein, without independent investigation or verification assumed:

(a) the authenticity of all documents or instruments submitted to us as originals;

(b) the completeness and conformity to original documents submitted to us as faxed, scanned or photo static copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies;

(c) the genuineness of all seals on the documents and instruments submitted to us, and the signatures (including endorsements) of the natural persons purported to have signed the documents and instruments submitted to us, as well as the legal capacity (handelings-bekwaamheid) of natural persons having made such signatures other than in their capacity as attorney-in-fact (gevolmachtigde) or as representative (vertegenwoordiger) of the Company;

(d) that the deed of incorporation of the Company is a valid notarial deed (authentieke akte), the contents thereof were correct and complete as of the date thereof and there were no defects in the incorporation of the Company (not appearing on the face of the deed of incorporation of the Company) on the basis of which a court might dissolve the Company or deem it never to have existed;

(e) that the Indenture, when executed, will have been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto and will constitute valid, binding and enforceable obligations of all the parties thereto under the laws to which the Indenture will be expressed to be subject;

(f) that the Debt Securities of each series and any Subsidiary Guarantee included in such Debt Securities issued by the Company (each a “Subsidiary Guarantee”; the Debt Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees collectively the “Securities”), if applicable, when issued, will have been duly executed by the parties thereto and will constitute valid,

3

binding and enforceable obligations of all the parties (including the Company) under the laws to which the Securities are expressed to be subject (other than Dutch law) and that the performance by the Company of its obligations under Securities will not be illegal or ineffective under any jurisdiction (other than the Netherlands) that these obligations are to be performed under;

(g) that any Subsidiary Guarantee, when issued, will have been duly authorized in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and Dutch law in force at the time of the authorization;

(h) that any Subsidiary Guarantee, when issued, will have a form and its terms will be in accordance and compliance with the description thereof in the Registration Statement and the attachments thereto, and that any terms not described therein will not (a) violate any laws of the Netherlands, or (b) violate, conflict with, or constitute a default under the organizational documents (including the articles of association) of the Company which would affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Subsidiary Guarantee against the Company at the time of the issuance of the Subsidiary Guarantee;

(i) the due compliance with all requirements, formalities and other matters relating to the Securities, when issued, under any applicable law (other than Dutch law) and in any jurisdiction (other than the Netherlands) in which any obligation under the Securities are to be performed;

(j) the validity under the laws of the State of New York of the choice of such laws to govern the Securities, when issued, and the validity and binding effect under the laws of the State of New York of the submission by the Company to the jurisdiction of the courts set out in the Securities, when issued, for any legal action or proceedings related to the Securities;

(k) that the Excerpt completely and accurately reflects the corporate status and position of the Company as at 28 July 2011 in all respects and that no changes as to the corporate status and position of the Company as stated in the Excerpt have occurred since 28 July 2011; although not constituting conclusive evidence thereof, this assumption is supported by information obtained today from the Trade Registry of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Amsterdam;

(l) that the Articles are the articles of association of the Company as in force at the date hereof; although not constituting conclusive evidence thereof, our assumption is supported by the contents of the Excerpt;

(m) that the Shareholder’s Resolution is duly executed and that the Shareholder’s Resolution and the Board Resolution have not been amended, revoked or declared void and are in full force and effect at the date hereof;

(n) that the Company is not, has not been and at the time of the issuance or authorization of the issuance of a Subsidiary Guarantee will not be or have been subject to any one or

4

more of the insolvency winding-up proceedings listed in Annex A or Annex B to the EU Insolvency Council Regulation (EC) No. 1346/2000 of 29 May 2000 (as amended by Council Regulation from time to time) in any EU member state other than the Netherlands and has not passed and and at the time of the issuance or authorization of the issuance of a Subsidiary Guarantee will not have passed a voluntary winding-up resolution and no petition has been presented or order made and at the time of the issuance or authorization of the issuance of a Subsidiary Guarantee no petition will have been presented or order made by a court for the bankruptcy (faillissement), dissolution (ontbinding) or moratorium of payment (surséance van betaling) of the Company;

(o) that it is and at the time of the issuance or authorization of the issuance of a Subsidiary Guarantee will be in the corporate interest of the Company to enter into the Registration Statement and the Subsidiary Guarantee, respectively;

(p) that the Company does not have, is not and at the time of the issuance or authorization of the issuance of a Subsidiary Guarantee will not have a (central or European) works council with jurisdiction (and authority to render advice) in respect of the Company and/or the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement or any Subsidiary Guarantee;

(q) that none of the parties to the Registration Statement, the Indenture or the Securities is or will have been subject to, controlled by or otherwise connected with a person, organisation or country which is subject to United Nations, European Union or Dutch sanctions implemented or effective in the Netherlands under or pursuant to the Sanction Act 1977 (Sanctiewet 1977), the Economic Offences Act (Wet economische delicten), the Import and Export Act (In- en Uitvoerwet) or Regulations of the European Union.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions as set forth herein, and subject to any factual matters not disclosed to us in the course of our examination referred to above, we are at the date hereof, of the following opinion:

(A) the Company is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the Netherlands as a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid);

(B) the Company has duly signed the Registration Statement and has taken all necessary corporate action and has all corporate powers and authority to authorise the execution of the Registration Statement and to perform its obligations there under and to consummate the transactions contemplated therein;

(C) the execution of the Registration Statement and compliance by the Company with the provisions thereof will not (a) violate any laws of the Netherlands, or (b) violate, conflict with, or constitute a default under the organizational documents of the Company (including

5

the Articles) which would affect the validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Registration Statement against the Company;

(D) any Subsidiary Guarantee, when issued, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, and be enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

(i) Any legal act entered into by a legal entity such as the Company may be nullified by such legal entity or the receiver in bankruptcy if it is ultra vires i.e. falls outside the scope of such legal entity’s objects. A legal act may be ultra vires if (i) such legal act is not expressly allowed by the objects clause in such legal entity’s articles of association and could not be conducive to the realization of such objects and (ii) the other party was aware thereof or should be aware thereof without an independent investigation. All relevant circumstances of the case should be considered. Assuming that the Company derives sufficient benefit from the Registration Statement and any Subsidiary Guarantee and taking into account that the objects clause in the Articles includes the issuance of guarantees and the granting of security, in our view it is unlikely that the ultra vires provisions can be successfully invoked by the Company.

(ii) The enforcement of the rights and remedies set forth in the Registration Statement and any Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, actio pauliana or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally. The courts in the Netherlands may not always grant specific performance, whereas direct enforceability (reële executie) is normally only available in respect of obligations regarding the making of payments.

(iii) In the event of a company’s moratorium of payment, that company’s assets will not be legally bound by any legal act performed by that company or by an attorney acting on that company’s behalf, unless the administrator (bewindvoerder) has given his co-operation or unless and to the extent that that company’s assets have gained a benefit as a result of such legal act. The same applies accordingly in case of bankruptcy of a company, provided that the receiver in a bankruptcy (curator) will be solely authorized to incur obligations on behalf of that company as of the bankruptcy date.

(iv) All powers of attorney, including powers of attorney expressed to be irrevocable, terminate by operation of law upon the bankruptcy of the person issuing the power of attorney (the “Principal”). Powers of attorney that are expressed to be irrevocable are not capable of being revoked insofar they extend to the performance of legal acts (rechtshandelingen) that are in the interest of either the attorney appointed by such power of attorney or a third party. However, such powers of attorney terminate by operation of law upon the bankruptcy of the Principal or, unless provided otherwise in such power of attorney, upon the death of, the commencement of legal guardianship over (onder curatelestelling) or the bankruptcy of the attorney or by notice of termination given by the attorney. To the extent

6

that the appointment of a process agent by the Company would be deemed to constitute a power of attorney granted by the Company, this qualification would apply.

(v) Service of process for any proceedings before the courts of the Netherlands must be performed in accordance with Dutch laws of civil procedure.

(vi) A party to legal proceedings in the Netherlands may need to choose domicile in the municipality where the relevant court is established in order to be permitted to proceedings before the courts of the Netherlands.

(vii) The courts of the Netherlands may stay or refer proceedings if concurrent proceedings are brought elsewhere.

(viii) Save as set out herein, nothing is to be taken to express an opinion in respect of any statement, representation or warranty made or given by or in respect of the Company in the Registration Statement or any Subsidiary Guarantee.

(ix) The concept of delivery of a document in order to render a document valid, legally binding and enforceable is not known or required under Dutch law.

(x) The choice of a foreign law as the law governing an agreement will generally be recognized and applied by the courts of the Netherlands, provided, however, that the Netherlands’ courts may give effect to the mandatory rules of the laws of any country, including the Netherlands, with which the case in question has a close connection if and to the extent that pursuant to the laws of the latter country such mandatory rules must be applied, regardless of the law governing the agreement. When determining whether such mandatory rules must be applied the nature and intent of such rules are taken into account as well as the consequences that might ensue from the application or non-application of such rules. The law that otherwise would govern the Registration Statement or any Subsidiary Guarantee need not be applied by the courts of the Netherlands if it is obvious that the application thereof could not be reconciled with the public policy of the Netherlands.

(xi) With respect to any Subsidiary Guarantee we note that in the case of proceedings in the Dutch courts in respect of the creation, priority or enforcement of security interests over certain assets which are governed by foreign law, generally such security interests would be upheld and considered by the courts as security interests with the effect and priority of a security right under Dutch law over the same type of asset and that most closely resembles the security interest governed by foreign law, provided that such security interests (i) are valid, binding and enforceable under foreign law, (ii) do not conflict with Dutch public policy and (iii) fit into the system of security interests under Dutch law.

We express no opinion as to any law or regulation other than the laws of the Netherlands as they are currently in force, and as generally interpreted and applied by the Dutch courts as at the date

7

of this opinion, as appearing from published case law. We do not express any opinion with respect to any international law, including but not limited to the rules promulgated under or by any bi- or multilateral treaty or treaty organisation, unless duly implemented in the laws of the Netherlands, or to any Dutch tax or anti-trust law. This opinion is related to Dutch law as it stands now and we do not assume any obligation to notify or inform you of any development subsequent to the date hereof that might render its contents untrue or inaccurate in whole or in part at such time.

This opinion is construed, shall be governed by and have effect only in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands. Further, the courts of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, shall have exclusive authority to rule upon any dispute relating to this opinion as far as this dispute may involve Heussen.

In this opinion legal concepts are described in English terms and not by their original terms as described in the relevant national language. The concepts concerned may not be exactly similar to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdiction.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and may be relied upon solely by you and your advisers and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933. We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated there under.

Sincerely yours,

Heussen B.V.
