Giurlando, successor co-Trustee, as heretofore amended and supplemented by all indentures amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, and as it will be further amended and supplemented (the Mortgage and Deed of Trust as so amended and supplemented being hereinafter referred to as the "Mortgage"); and (II) the qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, of the Company's Mortgage, we advise you as follows:

We are of the opinion that the Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Mississippi.

Subject to the qualifications hereinafter expressed, we are of the further opinion that the Bonds, when issued and delivered for the consideration contemplated by, and otherwise as contemplated in, the Registration Statement and the Mortgage, will be legally issued and will be binding obligations of the Company.

For purposes of the opinions set forth above, we have assumed (I) that the Bonds will be issued and delivered in compliance with the due authorization of and in accordance with the terms set by the Company's Board of Directors or, when authorized, either the Executive Committee thereof or an authorized officer of the Company and (II) that the Bonds will be issued and delivered in compliance with appropriate action with regard to the issuance of the Bonds by and before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the States of Mississippi and New York and of the federal laws of the United States of America. To the extent that the opinions relate to or are dependent upon matters governed by the laws of the State of New York, we have relied upon the opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP of New York, New York, which is being filed as Exhibit 5.01 to the Registration Statement.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.02 to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm, as counsel, in the Registration Statement and in the prospectus contained therein. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
