     Bankruptcy Code (each such opinion referred to herein as a "BANKRUPTCY
     OPINION");

         (ii) corporate, enforceability and security interest, to the effect
     that:

               (A) Each Seller is an entity duly organized, existing and in good
          standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation or formation
          as applicable, with corporate power and authority to own its
          properties and conduct its business as currently conducted;

          to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by (1)
          bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
          laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights
          generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether

<Page>

               (D) The transfer of the Property by each Seller to the Purchaser
          pursuant to this Agreement, the compliance by each Seller with all of
          the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Sale Agreement, the
          Security Agreement and this Agreement and the consummation of the
          transactions therein or herein contemplated will not (1) conflict with
          or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or
          constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
          loan agreement or other material agreement or instrument known to such
          counsel to which any Seller is a party or by which any Seller is bound
          or to which any of the property or assets of any Seller is subject,
          (2) result in any violation of the provisions of any order known to
          such counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having
          jurisdiction over any Seller or any of its properties or (3) result in
          any violation of the provisions of the articles of incorporation,
          by-laws, certificate of formation, operating agreement or partnership
          agreement as applicable, of any Seller or any statute or any
          Applicable Law;

               (E) No authorization, approval, consent or order of, or filing
          with, any court or governmental authority or agency is required by any
          Seller in connection with the consummation of the transactions
          contemplated in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Sale Agreement,
          Security Agreement or this Agreement, except such as have been
          obtained;

               (F) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and information,
          there are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending before any
          court or governmental authority against any Seller (1) asserting the
          invalidity of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Sale Agreement, the
          Security Agreement or this Agreement, (2) seeking to prevent the
          consummation by any Seller of any of the transactions contemplated by
          any Transaction Document to which it is a party or (3) which might
          materially and adversely affect the performance by any Seller of its
          obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party; and

               (G) the provisions of this Agreement are effective to create a
          valid security interest in the Property transferred by such Seller in
          favor of the Purchaser and such security interest is perfected and
          prior to all other creditors of and purchasers of any Seller.
