We are qualified to practice law in the State of Nevada. The opinions set forth herein are expressly limited to and based exclusively on the internal laws of the State of Nevada generally applicable to business entities and in effect on the date hereof, and we do not purport to be experts on, or to express any opinion with respect to the applicability or effect of, the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to matters of local law or the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of local governmental departments or agencies within the State of Nevada.

Based on the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and having regard to legal considerations and other information that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is validly existing as a limited partnership and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, with the limited partnership power and authority to authorize, execute and deliver the Exchange Note Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.

2. Each of the Exchange Note Documents has been duly authorized by the Company.

3. The authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Exchange Notes to which it is a party and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not violate (a) the certificate of limited partnership and partnership agreement of the Company or (b) any laws of the State of Nevada applicable to the Company.

4. No registration, consent, authorization, approval or notice by, from or with any governmental or regulatory body of the State of Nevada (excluding its political subdivisions and local agencies) is required under applicable Nevada law for the execution and delivery by the Company of the Exchange Note Documents to which it is a party or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, except (a) those which have been obtained or made on or prior to the date hereof and are in full force and effect and (b) such as are permitted or required by the Exchange Note Documents to be obtained or made after the date hereof.

The opinions set forth above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

The opinions expressed herein are based upon the applicable laws of the State of Nevada and the facts in existence as of the date of this opinion letter. In delivering this opinion letter to you, we disclaim any obligation to update or supplement the opinions set forth herein or to apprise you of any changes in any laws or facts after such time as the Registration Statement is declared effective. No opinion is offered or implied as to any matter, and no inference may be drawn, beyond the strict scope of the specific issues expressly addressed by the opinions set forth herein.
