EX-5.1 2 w21205a2exv5w1.txt OPINION OF SHEARMAN & STERLING LLP EXHIBIT 5.1 October 19, 2006 The Board of Directors P. H. Glatfelter Company 96 South George Street, Suite 500 York, Pennsylvania 17401 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel to P. H. Glatfelter Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to the issuance of up to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Exchange Notes") and the full and unconditional guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors" and, together with the Company, the "Relevant Parties") as to the payment of principal and interest on the Exchange Notes (the "Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantees"). Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company is offering to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") all of the Exchange Notes for a like amount of its outstanding unregistered 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Notes"), and to exchange the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantees for the outstanding unregistered full and unconditional guarantees as to the payment of principal and interest on the Notes by the Subsidiary Guarantors (the "Note Subsidiary Guarantees"). The Exchange Notes and the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantees will be registered under the Securities Act as set forth in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement (the "Prospectus") and will be issued upon consummation of the Exchange Offer. The Notes and the Note Subsidiary Guarantees were, and the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantees will be, issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 28, 2006 (the "Base Indenture"), among the Company, the initial Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined therein) party thereto as guarantors, and SunTrust Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of September 22, 2006, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"). In that connection, we have reviewed originals or copies of the following documents: (a) The Indenture. (b) A Specimen of the Exchange Notes. The documents described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (b) of this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the "Opinion Documents." We have also reviewed the following: (a) The Registration Statement. (b) The Prospectus. (c) The Registration Rights Agreement as of April 28, 2006 among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC, ABN AMRO Incorporated and SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). (d) originals or copies of such other corporate records of the Company and its subsidiaries, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and agreements and other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In our review of the Opinion Documents and other documents, we have assumed: (a) The genuineness of all signatures. (b) The authenticity of the originals of the documents submitted to us. (c) The conformity to authentic originals of any documents submitted to us as copies. (d) As to matters of fact, the truthfulness of the representations made in the Opinion Documents and in certificates of public officials and officers of the Relevant Parties. (e) That each of the Opinion Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, other than the Relevant Parties, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms. (f) That: (i) Each Relevant Party is an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. (ii) Each Relevant Party has full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform, and has duly authorized executed and delivered (except to the extent Generally Applicable Law is applicable to such execution and delivery), the Opinion Documents to which it is a party. 2 (iii) The execution, delivery and performance by each Relevant Party of the Opinion Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary action (corporate or otherwise) and do not: (A) contravene its certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents; (B) except with respect to Generally Applicable Law, violate any law, rule or regulation applicable to it; or (C) result in any conflict or breach of any agreement or document binding on it. (iv) Except with respect to Generally Applicable Law, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by any of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors of any Opinion Document to which it is a party or, if any such authorization, approval, consent, action, notice or filing is required, it has been duly obtained, taken, given or made and is in full force and effect. We have not independently established the validity of the foregoing assumptions. "Generally Applicable Law" means the federal law of the United States of America, and the law of the State of New York (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or pursuant thereto), that a New York lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to the Relevant Parties, the Opinion Documents or the transactions governed by the Opinion Documents, and for purposes of assumption paragraph (f) above and our opinion in paragraph 1 below, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Based upon the foregoing and upon such other investigation as we have deemed necessary and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Relevant Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Relevant Party in accordance with its terms. 2. If and when duly executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and if and when issued upon consummation of the Exchange Offer as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Exchange Notes will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the 3 Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. 3. If and when issued upon consummation of the Exchange Offer as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantees will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor which issued such Exchange Note Subsidiary Guarantee, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. Our opinions above are subject to the following qualifications: (a) Our opinions above are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally (including without limitation all laws relating to fraudulent transfers). (b) Our opinions above are also subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including without limitation concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (c) Our opinions are limited to Generally Applicable Law and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents. This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose without our prior written consent. This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any development or circumstance of any kind, including any change of law or fact, that may occur after the date of this opinion letter that might affect the opinions expressed therein. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus.

The Exchange Notes are to be offered (the "Exchange Offer") in exchange for the outstanding $200 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 7 1/8% Senior Notes due 2016 issued and sold by the Company on April 28, 2006 in an offering exempt from registration under the Act and guaranteed by the Initial Guarantors. The Exchange Notes will be issued by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of April 28, 2006, among the Company, the Initial Guarantors and SunTrust Bank (the "Trustee"), as trustee, as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture"), dated September 22, 2006, among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. In so acting, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following: (a) the Indenture; (b) the Supplemental Indenture; P. H. Glatfelter Company September 22, 2006 Page 2 (b) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement; (c) a copy of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company; (d) copies of a Certificate of Incorporation of each of Tea Leaves, Glenn-Wolfe and Mollanvick; (e) copies of the Certificate of Formation of GLT, Holdings I and Holdings II; (f) a copy of the Charter of Pulp Wood; and (g) a copy of the by-laws of each of the Company and the Guarantors (other than GLT, Holdings I and Holdings II) and a copy of the operating agreement of each of GLT, Holdings I and Holdings II, in each case, certified by the Secretary or another officer of such entity. We have also examined the form of the Exchange Note attached as Exhibit A to the Indenture, and we assume that the Exchange Notes, when executed and delivered, will conform to the form thereof examined by us and will be authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture. We have also examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all other agreements, documents, and instruments as we have deemed appropriate as the basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. We have also examined, and relied upon the accuracy of factual matters contained in, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records and certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of each of the Company and the Guarantors and of such agreements, documents and instruments and have made such examinations of law as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions set forth below. In delivering this opinion, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic or facsimile copies, the authenticity of originals of all such latter documents, and the accuracy and completeness of all records, information and statements submitted to us by officers and representatives of the Company and the Guarantors. In making our examination of documents executed by parties other than the Company and the Guarantors, we have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization of all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof with respect to such parties. P. H. Glatfelter Company September 22, 2006 Page 3 Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 1. The execution and delivery of the Indenture has been authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, on the part of each of the Company and the Initial Guarantors. 2.

Registration Statement on Form S-4/A
Filed September 22, 2006 (File No. 333-135808)
Responses to SEC Comment Letter dated October 10, 2006
Dear Mr. Shuman:
     On behalf of P. H. Glatfelter Company (the “Company”), set forth below are the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) received in your letter dated October 10, 2006 relating to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4/A (File No. 333-135808) filed on September 22, 2006 (the “Registration Statement”), including the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”). Each Staff comment is followed by the Company’s response to that comment.
     This letter should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 2”), which the Company filed with the Commission on the date hereof. To assist the Staff in reviewing Amendment No. 2, we are delivering, by overnight mail, a copy of this letter and four bound copies of Amendment No. 2, including Exhibits.

 


 

Exhibits
Exhibit 5.1
  1.   On page 2, we note the use of the defined term “Relevant Parties” yet we cannot locate a definition of the term in the opinion. Revise as appropriate.
 
      We refer to the Staff to the first paragraph of Shearman & Sterling LLP’s opinion where the defined term “Relevant Parties” is defined as the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
 
  2.   We note the assumptions contained in subsections (e) and (f) on pages 2 and 3. Please be advised that it is inappropriate for counsel to include assumptions of facts that are readily ascertainable. In this regard, provide support for your ability to assume these facts, demonstrate that you have conducted an independent investigation of such facts, or revise to remove the referenced assumptions.
 
      We have been advised by Shearman & Sterling LLP that the assumptions set forth in clauses (e) and (f) of the fifth paragraph are necessary because the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are entities formed under and governed by the laws of the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Shearman & Sterling LLP’s lawyers are licensed to practice law in the States of New York, California and the District of Columbia, as well as certain other foreign jurisdictions. As such, Shearman & Sterling LLP can deliver legal opinions only under the laws of these jurisdictions. We have been advised that Shearman & Sterling LLP believes that it is appropriate and reasonable to make these assumptions because these legal matters are covered by the legal opinion of Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP, submitted as Exhibit 5.2.
 
  3.   Please confirm in writing that the reference to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware includes the statutory provisions and also the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws. See Current Issues and Rulemaking Projects Outline, November 14, 2000. Include a similar confirmation as it pertains to the reference contained in Exhibit 5.2.
 
      We have been advised by Shearman & Sterling LLP and Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP that the references in their respective opinions to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware include the statutory provisions and also the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws.

  4.   We note that the last sentence in the paragraph on page 3 commencing “‘Generally Applicable Law’ means...” Please provide an explanation of the purpose and potential effect of limiting the definition of “Generally Applicable Law” in such a manner. Otherwise, revise the opinion to remove the carve-out.
 
      We have been advised by Shearman & Sterling LLP that inclusion of the definition “Generally Applicable Law” is consistent with guidelines published by the American Bar Association (the “ABA”), as well as other state bar associations. In Legal Opinion Principles1, published by the ABA’s Committee on Legal Opinions and chaired by the Honorable Thomas L. Ambrow, the authors state that an opinion letter “covers only law that a lawyer in the jurisdiction(s) whose law is being covered by the opinion letter exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to the entity, transaction, or agreement to which the opinion letter relates.” Other guidance provides that the opinion giver should notify the opinion recipient of the law that the opinion covers. The definition “Generally Applicable Law” is expressly intended to do so, and is consistent with customary practice.
Exhibit 5.2
  5.   We note your reference to the “Maryland General Corporation Law.” Please revise your reference to encompass Maryland law.
 
      In response to the staff’s comment, Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP has revised its opinion to encompass Maryland law.
* * *
      In addition, the Company hereby acknowledges:
 
    that should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
 
    the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

    the Company may not assert the staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
