guarantors party thereto, Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse (collectively, the “Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement,” and, together with the Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreements”).

In rendering our opinions herein, we have relied with respect to factual matters, upon the certificate with respect to various factual matters signed by an officer of each of the Company, Holdings and the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors and dated the date of this opinion, and certificates of public officials referred to below. In addition, we have reviewed and relied upon such corporate or other organizational documents of the Company, Holdings and the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors and such other records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to form the basis for rendering our opinions, including, without limitation, the following:

(i) the Secured Notes Registration Rights Agreement;

(ii) the Unsecured Notes Registration Rights Agreement;

(iii) the Secured Notes Indenture;

(iv) the Unsecured Notes Indenture;

(v) the forms of Exchange Notes;

(vi) the Registration Statement; and

(vii) the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”).

In connection with our examination of documents, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed or photographic copies, the legal capacity of all natural persons, and, as to certificates of public officials, we have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be accurate. We have assumed that all documents we have reviewed (i) are the valid and binding obligations of and enforceable against each party thereto and (ii) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each party thereto (other than to the extent we render opinions below as to due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, Holdings or the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors).

Except as expressly set forth in this opinion letter, we have made no independent investigation or inquiry as to the accuracy or completeness of any representation, warranty, data, certificate or other information, written or oral, made or furnished to us in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Registration Statement.

The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to the laws of the State of Tennessee, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, and no opinion is expressed with respect to (i) any federal laws of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction, or any effect which such laws may have on the opinions expressed herein, (ii) the bylaws, rules or regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or (iii) the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction. We are not rendering any opinion, and we are not providing any assurance, as to compliance with any antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.

We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company, Holdings or the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 1 below with respect to the Company’s, Holdings’ and the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors’ good standing, we have based our opinions solely upon examination of the certificates of good standing issued by the Tennessee Secretary of State and the Delaware Secretary of State as of a recent date.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(1) Each of the Company, Holdings and the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, as applicable.

(2) The Company has the requisite corporate power under the laws of the State of Delaware to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indentures and the Exchange Notes and to issue the Exchange Notes.

(3) The execution and delivery by the Company of the Indentures and the performance of its obligations thereunder, including the issuance of the Exchange Notes, have been duly authorized by the Company by all necessary corporate action under Delaware law.

(4) Each of Holdings and the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors has the requisite corporate, limited liability company, or limited partnership power, as applicable, under Delaware or Tennessee law, as applicable, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indentures, including the guarantee of the Exchange Notes.

(5) The execution and delivery by each of Holdings and the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors of the Indentures and the performance of its obligations thereunder, including guaranteeing the Exchange Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indentures, have been duly authorized by each of Holdings and the Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantors by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action under Delaware or Tennessee law, as applicable.

We express no opinion as to compliance with Section 48-16-401 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act or Section 48-249-306 of the Tennessee Revised Limited Liability Company Act, as applicable, insofar as the incurrence of the obligations governed by the Indentures may be deemed to be a distribution by any Tennessee/Delaware Subsidiary Guarantor that is incorporated or formed in the State of Tennessee.

Our opinion is rendered as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the facts or law relating to the matters covered by this opinion that may hereafter come to our attention.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and to the use of our name therein and in the related Prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Bass, Berry & Sims PLC
