          Section 2.08. Yearly Rate Statements and Nominal Rates of Interest. For the purpose of complying with the Interest Act (Canada), it is expressly agreed that where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based on a 360 day period, the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as the case may be) divided by 360. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are nominal rates and not effective rates or yields, and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest, that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any calculations of interest hereunder.

[Form of Opinion of British Columbia Counsel
to the Additional Subsidiary Borrower]
     
 
  December [___], 2006
To the Series C Incremental Lenders
     and the Administrative Agent
     party to the Series C Incremental Loan
     Agreement and Credit Agreement
     referred to below
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel in British Columbia, Canada (the “Province”) to Lamar Transit Advertising Canada Ltd. (the “Additional Subsidiary Borrower”) in connection with the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement dated as of December 21, 2006 (the “Series C Incremental Loan Agreement”) between Lamar Media Corp. (the “Company” and, together with the Additional Subsidiary Borrower party thereto, the “Borrowers”), the Additional Subsidiary Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein, the Series C Incremental Lenders party thereto (the “Series C Incremental Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”), which Series C Incremental Loan Agreement is being entered into pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2005 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) between the Borrowers, the other Subsidiary Borrowers party thereto, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement and in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to clause (b)(i) of Article IV of the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement.
     In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following agreements, instruments and other documents:
     (a) the Credit Agreement;
Form of Opinion of British Columbia Counsel to Additional Subsidiary Borrower


 

 

 - 2 - 
  (b)   the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter dated as of December [___], 2006 executed between the Company, the Additional Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter”);
 
  (c)   the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement (together with the Credit Agreement and the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter, the “Credit Documents”); and
 
  (d)   such records of the Additional Subsidiary Borrower and such other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
 
      In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon the facts set out in statements or certificates of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Documents and certificates of appropriate representatives of the Additional Subsidiary Borrower, including without limitation the Secretary’s Certificate dated the date hereof with respect to the Additional Subsidiary Borrower, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto.
     In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that (except, to the extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, as to the Additional Subsidiary Borrower):
  (i)   such documents have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed and delivered by, and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents;
 
  (ii)   all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized; and
 
  (iii)   all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.
Form of Opinion of British Columbia Counsel to Additional Subsidiary Borrower


 

- 3 -

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that:
  1.   The Additional Subsidiary Borrower is a company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the Province and, with respect to the filing of annual reports, is in good standing under the laws of Province.
 
  2.   The Additional Subsidiary Borrower has the corporate power and capacity to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter and the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement.
 
  3.   The execution, delivery and performance by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower of the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter and the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of the Additional Subsidiary Borrower.
 
  4.   The Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter and the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement have each been duly executed and delivered by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower.
 
  5.   The selection of the laws of the State of New York (the “Foreign Law”) as the governing law of the Credit Documents would be recognized and given effect in a court which is of competent jurisdiction and is a forum conveniens in the Province (a “Local Court”) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to such documents brought in such courts, provided that:
     (a) proof of such law is made to such court as a question of fact by a duly qualified expert;
     (b) such choice of law is bona fide (in that regard, in determining whether or not a choice of law is “bona fide”, a Local Court may consider all the elements of the transaction of which the Credit Document form a part, including the parties’ corporate and business locations, the location of performance of the transaction and the absence of any indication that the choice of law was motivated by the desire to evade the provisions of the law which is (without reference to the choice of law in the Credit Documents) most closely connected with the transaction); and
Form of Opinion of British Columbia Counsel to Additional Subsidiary Borrower


 

- 4 -

     (c) such choice of law is not contrary to public policy, as that term is applied by the Local Court.
  6.   If the Credit Documents are sought to be enforced in the Province in accordance with the Foreign Law, a Local Court would recognize such law as it relates to substantive (but not procedural) matters governed by such applicable Foreign Law and, upon appropriate evidence as to such law being specifically pleaded and proved, would apply such law, subject to the following qualifications:
     (a) the qualifications in the preceding paragraph regarding the validity of the choice of such Foreign Law as the governing law;
     (b) none of the provisions of the Credit Documents or of the Foreign Law applicable to such Credit Documents is contrary to public policy as such term is understood under the laws of the Province;
     (c) a Local Court may not enforce the performance of an obligation, whether or not lawful under Foreign Law, if such performance is illegal under the Province’s law, or is illegal in any jurisdiction where the obligation is to be performed, provided that, for clarification, the obligation the Additional Subsidiary Borrower to repay its indebtedness and liability under the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement in accordance with the Foreign Law would not be an obligation that would generally be considered to be illegal under the Province’s law;
     (d) a Local Court has an inherent power to decline to hear such an action if it is contrary to public policy, as such term is understood under the laws of the Province, for it to do so, or if it is not the convenient forum to hear such action, or if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere; and
     (e) Local Courts have no jurisdiction to determine the title to, or the right to possession of, or the partition of, or to order the sale of, real property situated outside of the Province.
  7.   The laws of the Province permit an action to be brought in a Local Court on a final, conclusive and subsisting judgment (the “Judgment”) in personam of a foreign jurisdiction, which is not impeachable as void or voidable under the internal laws of such foreign jurisdiction, for a sum certain without re-examination of the merits of the foreign action if:
Form of Opinion of British Columbia Counsel to Additional Subsidiary Borrower


 

- 5 -

     (a) the court rendering the Judgment had jurisdiction over the judgment debtor, as recognized by the courts of the Province;
     (b) the Judgment was not obtained by fraud or in any manner contrary to natural justice and the enforcement thereof would not be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is understood under the laws of the Province;
     (c) the enforcement of the Judgment does not constitute, directly or indirectly, the enforcement of foreign revenue, penal or expropriatory laws;
     (d) no new admissible evidence, right or defence relevant to the action is discovered or brought to the attention of the Local Court prior to the recognition and enforcement of the Judgment by the Local Court; and
     (e) there has been compliance with the Limitation Act (British Columbia), which provides that any action to enforce a foreign judgment must be commenced within six years of the date of the foreign judgment; and
     (f) the enforcement of the Judgment would not be contrary to any order made by the Competition Tribunal under Section 82 of the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain judgments, law and directives having effects on competition in Canada.
  8.   No authorization, approval or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency having jurisdiction in the Province is required under the laws of the Province or the laws of Canada applicable in the Province for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower of any of the Credit Documents or for the borrowings by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower under the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement.
 
  9.   The execution, delivery and performance by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower of, and the consummation by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Documents do not and will not (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the Articles or other organizational documents of the Additional Subsidiary Borrower, (b) violate any law, rule or regulation applicable in the Province or any federal law of Canada applicable therein, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to the Additional Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of which we have knowledge or (d) result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any

- 6 -

      consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument of which we have knowledge and to which the Additional Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of them is subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of the Additional Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to, the terms of any such agreement or instrument.
 
  10.   To our knowledge, there are no legal or arbitral proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, pending or threatened against or affecting the Additional Subsidiary Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if adversely determined, could have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
  11.   No Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be paid to any governmental or regulatory authority or agency having jurisdiction in the Province, or any political subdivision thereof or therein, and no notarization is required, in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents.
     In basing the opinions and other matters set forth herein on “our knowledge” or facts “known to us”, the words “our knowledge” and “known to us” signify that, in the course of our representation of the Additional Subsidiary Borrower in matters with respect to which we have been engaged by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower, as counsel, and within the scope of such engagement, no information has come to our attention which would give us actual knowledge or actual notice or would otherwise lead us to believe that any such opinions, certificates, statements or other matters are not accurate or that any of the foregoing documents, certificates, reports and information on which we have relied are not accurate and complete.
     The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:
     (i) we express no opinion in this letter as to any provision in the Credit Documents: (a) which relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any Federal court of the United States of America, or any Federal appellate court, to adjudicate any controversy related to the Agreements and (b) which contains a waiver of an inconvenient forum;
     (ii) we express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions expressed herein of the compliance or non-compliance of any party (other than the Additional Subsidiary Borrower) to the Credit Documents with any state, British Columbia, federal or other laws or regulations applicable to it; and
Form of Opinion of British Columbia Counsel to Additional Subsidiary Borrower


 

- 7 -

     (iii) we express no opinion as to any provision of the Credit Documents insofar as the same authorizes any Person to set-off and apply to or for its account any deposit or property of any other Person at any time held thereby, on any indebtedness at any time owing by any Person thereto, to the extent that (x) the funds to be applied are not then due and payable, (y) the respective Persons have been opportunely notified of an attachment or claim by a third party against the funds to be applied, or (z) any such right to set-off is exercised with respect to escrow deposits, payroll accounts or other special deposit accounts which, by the express terms on which the same are created, are made subject to the legal rights of a third party.
     The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the laws of the Province and the laws of Canada applicable in the Province, and we do not express any opinion as to the law of any other jurisdiction.
     This opinion letter is provided to you by us as British Columbia counsel to the Additional Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to clause (b)(i) of Article IV of the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement and may not be relied upon by any other person or for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents without our prior written consent in each instance.

ANNEX 2
[Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Credit Parties]
     
 
  December [___], 2006
To the Series C Incremental Lenders
     and the Administrative Agent
     party to the Series C Incremental Loan
     Agreement and Credit Agreement
     referred to below
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as counsel to Lamar Transit Advertising Canada Ltd. (the “Additional Subsidiary Borrower”), Lamar Advertising Company (“Holdings”), Lamar Media Corp. (herein the “Company”) and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in connection with the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement dated as of December 21, 2006 (the “Series C Incremental Loan Agreement”) between Lamar Media Corp. (the “Company” and, together with the Additional Subsidiary Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein, the Series C Incremental Lenders party thereto (the “Series C Incremental Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”), which Series C Incremental Loan Agreement is being entered into pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2005 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) between the Borrowers, the other Subsidiary Borrowers party thereto, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement and in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Article IV(b)(ii) of the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement.
     In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following agreements, instruments and other documents:
  (a)   the Credit Agreement;
 
  (b)   the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter dated as of December [___], 2006 executed between the Company, the Additional Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter”);
Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Credit Parties


 

 

 - 2 - 
  (c)   the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement (together with the Credit Agreement and the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter, the “Credit Documents”); and
 
  (d)   such records of the Credit Parties and such other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, including information listed on Schedule A regarding the merging and/or consolidation of certain subsidiaries.
          In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon statements or certificates of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Documents and certificates and/or opinions of appropriate representatives of the Credit Parties.
          In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that (except, to the extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, as to the Credit Parties):
  (i)   such documents have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed and delivered by, and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents;
 
  (ii)   all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized; and
 
  (iii)   all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.
          References to “our knowledge” or equivalent words means the actual knowledge of the lawyers in this firm responsible for preparing this opinion after such inquiry as they deemed appropriate, including inquiry of such other lawyers in the firm and review of such files of the firm as they have identified as being reasonably likely to have or contain information not otherwise known to them needed to support the opinions set forth below. References to “after due inquiry” or equivalent words means after inquiry of the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel of Holdings, and of lawyers in the firm reasonably likely to have knowledge of the matter to which such reference relates.
Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Credit Parties


 

- 3 -

          Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that:
     1. Holdings is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Subsidiary of the Company that is a Credit Party is a corporation, partnership or other entity duly organized, validly existing and, to our knowledge, in good standing under the laws of the state indicated opposite its name in Schedule 4.14 to the Credit Agreement, with the exception of Lamar Benches, Inc. and Lamar I-40 West, Inc., which are currently not in good standing.
     2. Each Credit Party has all requisite corporate or other power to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Credit Documents to which it is a party.
     3. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of each Credit Document to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of such Credit Party.
     4. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party party thereto.
     5. Under Louisiana conflict of laws principles, the stated choice of New York law to govern the Credit Documents will be honored by the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Credit Documents will be construed in accordance with, and will be treated as being governed by, the law of the State of New York, except to the extent the result obtained from applying New York law would be contrary to the public policy of the State of Louisiana, provided, however, that we have no knowledge of any Louisiana public policy interest which could reasonably be expected to result in the application of Louisiana law to the Credit Documents. However, if the Credit Documents were stated to be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Louisiana, or if a Louisiana court were to apply the law of the State of Louisiana to the Credit Documents, each Credit Document would nevertheless constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability of the Credit Documents is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and the corresponding discretion of the court before which the proceedings may be brought, including, without limitation,
Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Credit Parties


 

- 4 -

(a) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
     6. No authorization, approval or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the United States of America or the State of Louisiana is required on the part of any Credit Party for the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of any of the Credit Documents or for the borrowings by the Additional Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement.
     7. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of, and the consummation by each Credit Party of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Documents to which such Credit Party is a party do not and will not (a) violate any provision of the charter or by-laws of any Credit Party, (b) violate any applicable Louisiana or federal law, rule or regulation, (c) violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency or any arbitral award applicable to the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries of which we have knowledge (after due inquiry) or (d) based on an opinion of the General Counsel of the Company, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, require any consent under, or result in the acceleration or required prepayment of any indebtedness pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument of which we have knowledge (after due inquiry) and to which the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound or to which any of them is subject, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of any Credit Party pursuant to, the terms of any such agreement or instrument.
     8. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.06 to the Credit Agreement, we have no knowledge (after due inquiry) of any legal or arbitral proceedings, or any proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, pending or threatened against or affecting the Credit Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if adversely determined, could have a Material Adverse Effect.
     9. The obligations of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents constitute Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures) for all purposes of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures.
     10. The Credit Agreement and the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement will constitute the “Senior Credit Facility” under and for all purposes of each of the Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures.
Form of Opinion of Counsel to the Credit Parties


 

- 5 -

     The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:
     (A) The enforceability of Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents) may be limited by (i) laws rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to Federal or state securities laws and the public policy underlying such laws and (ii) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct.
     (B) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.
     (C) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any Lender is located (other than the State of Louisiana) that limits the interest, fees or other charges such Lender may impose for the loan or use of money or other credit, (ii) the last sentence of Section 2.16(d) of the Credit Agreement, (iii) Section 3.06 or 3.09 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents) and (iv) the first sentence of Section 10.09(b) of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents), insofar as such sentence relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Documents.
     (D) We express no opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor (or the enforceability of such obligations) of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations or of the provisions of the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of any Subsidiary Guarantor restricting dividends, loans or other distributions by a corporation for the benefit of its stockholders.
     (E) The opinions expressed herein as of the date hereof, and except as may otherwise be provided herein, we have no obligation to advise you as to any change in the matters, factual, legal or otherwise, set forth herein after the date of this letter. Without limitation of the foregoing, our opinions in paragraphs 9 and 10 are limited to the Credit Documents and Senior Subordinated Notes Indentures as in effect as of the date hereof.
          Partners or Associates of this Firm are members of the Bar of the State of Louisiana and we do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the United States of America and the State of Louisiana, and we express no

opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the United States of America, the State of Louisiana and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
          At the request of our clients, this opinion letter is, pursuant to Section (b)(ii) of Article IV of the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement, provided to you by us in our capacity as counsel to the Credit Parties and may not be relied upon by any Person for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement without, in each instance, our prior written consent.

[Form of Opinion of Special Counsel to JPMCB]
     
 
  December [___], 2006
To the Series C Incremental Lenders
     and the Administrative Agent
     party to the Series C Incremental Loan
     Agreement and Credit Agreement
     referred to below
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have acted as special New York counsel to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, under the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement dated as of December 21, 2006 (the “Series C Incremental Loan Agreement”) between Lamar Transit Advertising Canada Ltd. (the “Additional Subsidiary Borrower”), Lamar Media Corp. (the “Company” and, together with the Additional Subsidiary Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein (together with the Borrowers, the “Credit Parties”), the Series C Incremental Lenders party thereto (the “Series C Incremental Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which Series C Incremental Loan Agreement is being entered into pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2005 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of October 5, 2006 and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated as of December 11, 2006, the “Credit Agreement”) between the Borrowers, the other Subsidiary Borrowers party thereto, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement and in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to clause (c) of Article IV of the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement.
     In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the following agreements, instruments and other documents:
  (a)   the Credit Agreement;
 
  (b)   the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter dated as of December [___], 2006 executed between the Company, the Additional Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent (the “Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter”); and

  (c)   the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement (together with the Credit Agreement and the Additional Subsidiary Borrower Designation Letter, the “Credit Documents”).
          In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and, in the case of documents executed prior to the date of this opinion letter, that there has been no amendment, waiver or other modification (whether in writing, orally or by course of conduct, course of dealing, course of performance or otherwise) except as expressly referred to herein. We have also assumed that (upon delivery of this opinion) the conditions precedent in Article IV of the Series C Incremental Loan Agreement have been satisfied. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Documents.
          In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to all of the documents referred to in this opinion letter, that:
  (i)   such documents have been duly authorized by, have been duly executed and delivered by, and (except to the extent set forth in the opinions below as to the Credit Parties) constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of, all of the parties to such documents;
 
  (ii)   all signatories to such documents have been duly authorized; and
 
  (iii)   all of the parties to such documents are duly organized and validly existing and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform such documents.
          Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that each of the Credit Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability of the Credit Documents is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, (a) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.
          The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:
     (A) The enforceability of Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents) may be limited by laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or exempting a party, or requiring indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction, to the extent the

action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct.
     (B) Clause (iii) of the second sentence of Section 3.02 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents) may not be enforceable to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are materially modified.
     (C) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Documents to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.
     (D) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any Lender is located (other than the State of New York) that limit the interest, fees or other charges such Lender may impose for the loan or use of money or other credit, (ii) the last sentence of Section 2.16(d) of the Credit Agreement, (iii) the first sentence of Section 10.09(b) of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents), insofar as such sentence relates to the subject-matter jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Documents, (iv) the waiver of inconvenient forum set forth in the last sentence of Section 10.09(c) of the Credit Agreement, and any similar provision in any of the other Credit Documents, with respect to proceedings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (v) Section 3.06 or 3.09 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar provisions in any of the other Credit Documents).
     (E) We express no opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor (or the enforceability of such obligations) of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Article 10 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law or any other provision of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations or of the provisions of the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of any Subsidiary Guarantor restricting dividends, loans or other distributions by a corporation for the benefit of its stockholders.
          The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
