agreement to which any of the Borrowers are a party with a third party or parties resulting in a
right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any

Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Event of Default under this
Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a default under such other agreement shall be cured
or waived for purposes of this Agreement upon Lender receiving written notice from the party
asserting such default of such cure or waiver of the default under such other agreement, if at the
time of such cure or waiver under such other agreement (a) Lender has not declared an Event of

9. Lender’s Rights and Remedies.

Lender shall not have any further obligation to advance money or extend credit to or for the
benefit of Borrowers. Subject to the rights of Square 1 Bank, if any, under the Subordination
Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the rights, options,
duties and remedies of a secured party as permitted by law and, in addition to and without
limitation of the foregoing, Lender may, at its election, without notice of election and without
demand, do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:
(a) Acceleration of Obligations. Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this
Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, including (i) any accrued and unpaid
interest, (ii) the amounts which would have otherwise come due under Section 2.3(b)(ii) if
the Loan had been voluntarily prepaid, (iii) the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and (iv) all
other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder, immediately due and payable
(provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in
Section 8.10 or Section 8.11 all Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable without any action by Lender);
(b) Protection of Collateral. Make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers
necessary or reasonable to protect Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers agree
to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires and to make the Collateral available to Lender as
Lender may designate. Borrowers authorize Lender and its designees and agents to enter the
premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any
part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which in Lender’s determination
appears or is claimed to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses
incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of the Borrowers’ owned premises, each
Borrower hereby grants Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the
same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Lender’s
rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(c) Preparation of Collateral for Sale. Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish,
maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for
27.
herein) the Collateral. Lender and its agents and any purchasers at or after foreclosure are
hereby granted a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid, royalty-free license or other
right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, any
of the Borrowers’ Intellectual Property, including without limitation, labels, patents, copyrights,
rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising
matter, or any Property of a similar nature, now or at any time hereafter owned or acquired by any
of the Borrowers or in which any of the Borrowers now or at any time hereafter has any rights;
provided that such license shall only be exercisable in connection with the disposition of
Collateral upon Lender’s exercise of its remedies hereunder;
(d) Sale of Collateral. Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or
both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at
such places (including any of the Borrowers’ premises) as Lender determines are commercially
reasonable; and
(e) Purchase of Collateral. Credit bid and purchase all or any portion of the
Collateral at any public sale.
Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid
immediately by Borrowers.
9.2 Set Off Right. Lender may set off and apply to the Obligations any and all
indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrowers or any
other assets of Borrowers in Lender’s possession or control.
9.3 Effect of Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to the extent
permitted by law, each Borrower covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in
any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or
at any time hereafter in force, nor claim, take nor insist upon any benefit or advantage of or from
any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisement of the Collateral or
any part thereof prior to any sale or sales thereof to be made pursuant to any provision herein
contained, or to the decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction; nor, after
such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute now or hereafter made or enacted
by any state or otherwise to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof, and, to the full
extent legally permitted, except as to rights expressly provided herein, hereby expressly waives
for themselves and on behalf of each and every Person, except decree or judgment creditors of
Borrowers, acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral or any part thereof subsequent to
the date of this Agreement, all benefit and advantage of any such law or laws, and covenants that
they will not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted and delegated to Lender, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such power, law or laws had been made or enacted. Any
sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall
operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in
equity, of Borrowers in and to the Property sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in
equity, against Borrowers, their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming
the Property sold or any part thereof under, by or through Borrowers, their successors or assigns.
28.
9.4 Power of Attorney in Respect of the Collateral. Subject to the rights of Square 1
Bank, if any, under the Subordination Agreement, each Borrower does hereby irrevocably appoint
Lender (which appointment is coupled with an interest), the true and lawful attorney in fact of
Borrowers with full power of substitution, for them and in their name to file any notices of
security interests, financing statements and continuations and amendments thereof pursuant to the
Code or federal law, as may be necessary to perfect, or to continue the perfection of Lender’s
security interests in the Collateral. Borrowers do hereby irrevocably appoint Lender (which
appointment is coupled with an interest) on the occurrence of an Event of Default, the true and
lawful attorney in fact of Borrowers with full power of substitution, for them and in their name:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, receive, receipt for, xxx for, compound and give acquittance for any
and all rents, issues, profits, avails, distributions, income, payment draws and other sums in
which a security interest is granted under Section 4 with full power to settle, adjust or
compromise any claim thereunder as fully as if Lender were Borrowers themselves; (b) to receive
payment of and to endorse the name of Borrowers to any items of Collateral (including checks,
drafts and other orders for the payment of money) that come into Lender’s possession or under
Lender’s control; (c) to make all demands, consents and waivers, or take any other action with
respect to, the Collateral; (d) in Lender’s discretion to file any claim or take any other action
or proceedings, either in its own name or in the name of Borrowers or otherwise, which Lender may
reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title and interest of
Lender in and to the Collateral; (e) endorse Borrowers’ names on any checks or other forms of
payment or security; (f) sign Borrowers’ name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any account or
drafts against account debtors; (g) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrowers’ insurance
policies; (h) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account
debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (i) transfer the Collateral into
the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits; and (j) to otherwise act with respect
thereto as though Lender were the outright owner of the Collateral.
9.5 Lender’s Expenses. If Borrowers fail to pay any amounts or furnish any required
proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement,
then Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof;
or (b) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.8 of this
Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any amounts
paid or deposited by Lender shall constitute Lender’s Expenses, shall be immediately due and
payable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any
payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the
future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Borrowers shall pay all
reasonable fees and expenses, including without limitation, Lender’s Expenses, incurred by Lender
in the enforcement or attempt to enforce any of the Obligations hereunder not performed when due.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Subject to the rights of Square 1 Bank,
if any, under the Subordination Agreement, Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not
inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of
one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default on
Borrowers’ part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver,
election, or acquiescence by it.
29.
9.7 Application of Collateral Proceeds. Subject to the rights of Square 1 Bank, if
any, under the Subordination Agreement,, the proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of
any kind held by Lender, at the time of or received by Lender after the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all amounts
expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale

for any accrued and unpaid interest, the amounts which would have otherwise come due under
Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Loan has been voluntarily prepaid, the principal balance of the
Loan, and all other Obligations with respect to the Loan (provided, however, if
such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due, owing or unpaid upon
the Loan, then to the unpaid interest thereon, then to the amounts which would have otherwise come
due under Section 2.3(b)(ii), if the Loan had been voluntarily prepaid, then to the
principal balance of the Loan, and then to the payment of other amounts then payable to Lender
under any of the Loan Documents); and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Borrowers, their successors and
assigns, or to the Person lawfully entitled to receive the same.
9.8 Reinstatement of Rights. If Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely, then and in every such case (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction), Lender shall be restored to its former position and rights hereunder with respect to
the Property subject to the security interest created under this Agreement.

amendment or modification of the Loan Documents or any “work-out” in connection with the Loan
Documents. Borrowers shall indemnify, reimburse and hold Lender, and each of its respective

and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Executed
copies of the signature pages of this Agreement sent by facsimile or transmitted electronically in
Portable Document Format (“PDF”), or any similar format, shall be treated as originals, fully
binding and with full legal force and effect, and the parties waive any rights they may have to
object to such treatment.
12.8 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligations or commitment to fund remain
outstanding. The obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Lender with respect to the expenses,
damages, losses, costs and liabilities described in Section 10.3 shall survive until all
applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against
Lender have run.
13. Relationship of Parties. Borrowers and Lender acknowledge, understand and agree
that the relationship between Borrowers, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other, is, and at all
time shall remain solely that of borrowers and lender. Lender shall not under any circumstances be
construed to be a partner or a joint venturer of Borrowers or any of their Affiliates; nor shall
Lender under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a
fiduciary relationship with Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to
Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. Lender does not undertake or assume any responsibility or
duty to Borrowers or any of their Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment
upon or otherwise inform Borrowers or any of their Affiliates of any matter in connection with its
or their Property, any Collateral held by Lender or the operations of Borrowers or any of their
Affiliates. Borrowers and each of their Affiliates shall rely entirely on their own judgment with
respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of
information undertaken or assumed by Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the
protection of Lender and neither Borrowers nor any Affiliate is entitled to rely thereon.
14. Confidentiality. All information (other than periodic reports filed by Borrowers
with the Securities and Exchange Commission) disclosed by Borrowers to Lender in writing or through
inspection pursuant to this Agreement that is marked confidential shall be considered confidential.
Lender agrees to use the same degree of care to safeguard and prevent disclosure of such
confidential information as Lender uses with its own confidential information, but in any event no
less than a reasonable degree of care. Lender shall not disclose such information to any third
party (other than to Lender’s members, partners, attorneys, governmental regulators, or auditors,
or to Lender’s subsidiaries and affiliates and prospective transferees and purchasers of the Loan,
all subject to the same confidentiality obligation set forth herein or as required by law,
regulation, subpoena or other order to be disclosed) and shall use such information only for
34.
purposes of evaluation of its investment in Borrowers and the exercise of Lender’s rights and
the enforcement of its remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations
of confidentiality shall not apply to any information that (a) was known to the public prior to
disclosure by Borrowers under this Agreement, (b) becomes known to the public through no fault of
Lender, (c) is disclosed to Lender by a third party having a legal right to make such disclosure,
or (d) is independently developed by Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s agreement of
confidentiality shall not apply if Lender has acquired indefeasible title to any Collateral or in
connection with any enforcement or exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement
following an Event of Default, including the enforcement of Lender’s security interest in the
Collateral.
15. Co-Borrower Provisions.
15.1 Primary Obligation. This Agreement is a primary and original obligation of each
Borrower and shall, unless earlier terminated, remain in effect notwithstanding future changes in
conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or irregularity in the creation or
acquisition of any Obligations or in the execution or delivery of any agreement between Lender and
any Borrower. Each Borrower shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if the
Loan or Obligations were advanced to such Borrower. Lender may rely on any certificate or
representation made by any Borrower as made on behalf of, and binding on, all Borrowers.
15.2 Enforcement of Rights. Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the
Obligations and Lender may proceed against one or more of the Borrowers to enforce the Obligations
without waiving its right to proceed against any of the other Borrowers.
15.3 Borrowers as Agents. Each Borrower appoints the other Borrower as its agent with
all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices, certificates or demands for and on
behalf of both Borrowers, to act as disbursing agent for receipt of the Loan on behalf of each
Borrower and to apply to Lender on behalf of each Borrower for funding of the Loan, any waivers and
any consents. This authorization cannot be revoked, and Lender need not inquire as to each
Borrower’s authority to act for or on behalf of another Borrower.
15.4 Subrogation and Similar Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have
at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Borrower to the rights
of Lender under the Loan Documents) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of
reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or
secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by the Borrower with respect to
the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise and all rights that it might
have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any
payment made by the Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with the Loan Documents
or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement
prohibited under this Section 15.4 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a
Borrower in contravention of this Section 15.4 such Borrower shall hold such payment in
trust for Lender and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Lender for application to the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
35.
15.5 Subrogation Defenses. Each Borrower hereby waives any defense based on
impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower and waives
all benefits which might otherwise be available to it under any statutory or common law suretyship
defenses or marshalling rights, now and hereafter in effect.
15.6 Right to Settle, Release.
(a) The liability of Borrowers hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any agreement,
understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was to be guaranteed by another
Person or secured by other property, or (ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or
total, of rights, if any, which Lender may now or hereafter have against any other Person,
including another Borrower, or property with respect to any of the Obligations.
(b) Without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, Lender may (i) compromise,
settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the
performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations with respect to a
Borrower, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Borrower in respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in
any manner any documents relating to the Obligations with respect to a Borrower, (iv) release,
surrender or exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether pledged by a
Borrower or any other Person, or (v) compromise, settle, renew, or extend the time for payment,
discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any obligations of any
guarantor, endorser or other Person who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to any of
the Obligations.
15.7 Subordination. Except for the Senior Debt, all indebtedness of a Borrower now or
hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Obligations and the Borrower
holding the indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to effect, to
enforce and to give notice of such subordination.
16. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT,
WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND LENDER HEREBY SUBMITS

FORM OF OPINION
October 8, 2009
To: | Compass Horizon Funding Company LLC 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Waterfront Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Waterfront”),
Revolution Health Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RHG”) and Carepages, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Carepages” and, together with Waterfront and RHG, collectively, the
"Borrowers”) in connection with (i) the Venture Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date
hereof (the “Loan Agreement”) by and between the Borrowers and Compass Horizon Funding Company LLC
(the “Lender”), (ii) the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Series F Preferred Stock dated as of the
date hereof by Waterfront in favor of the Lender (the “Warrant”), (iii) the Subordinated Secured
Promissory Note dated as of the date hereof and (iv) the Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as
of the date hereof, between Waterfront, the Lender and Square 1 Bank (the “Control Agreement” and,
together with the documents referred to in (i) through (iii) above, collectively, the “Transaction
Agreements”).
We are providing this opinion to the Lender at the request of the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 3.1(g) of the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein are used with the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals, or copies of originals certified,
conformed or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such agreements, documents and records as
we have considered relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion. We have, without
independent verification, relied, with respect to factual matters, statements and conclusions, on
certificates and statements of governmental officials and officials of the Borrowers and on the
representations made by the Borrowers in the Transaction Agreements. In addition, we have obtained
and relied upon those certificates of public officials we considered appropriate.
We have assumed the accuracy and completeness of all, and the authenticity of all original,
certificates, agreements, documents, records and other materials submitted to us, the conformity
with the originals of any copies submitted to us, the genuineness of all signatures and the legal
capacity of all natural persons. We have assumed that the Transaction Agreements constitute the
valid, legally binding and enforceable agreements of the parties thereto under all applicable law.
Page 2
On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our
consideration of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and
qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each of Waterfront and Carepages is a corporation validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and Waterfront is qualified to do business in the State of
New York.
2. RHG is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware and qualified to do business in the State of New York.
3. Each Borrower has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and to perform its
obligations under, the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Transaction Agreements have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of each Borrower, and the Transaction Agreements have been duly executed and
delivered by each Borrower.
4. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be initially issuable by Waterfront upon exercise
of the Warrant (the “Shares”) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of Waterfront and, if issued upon such exercise on the date hereof in accordance with the
terms of the Warrant, would be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The shares of common
stock of Waterfront initially issuable upon conversion of the Shares have been duly authorized and
reserved for issuance by all necessary corporate action on the part of Waterfront and, if issued
and delivered upon such conversion of the Shares in accordance with the Organizational Documents of
Waterfront on the date hereof, would be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
5. The execution and delivery by the Borrowers of, and the performance of their obligations
under, the Transaction Agreements do not violate or conflict with (i) the Organizational Documents
of the Borrowers or (ii) the laws of the State of New York and the current Delaware General
Corporation Law.
In addition to the foregoing, we inform you, based on a polling of the attorneys at our firm
who have logged time to the Borrowers from January 2, 2006 through the date hereof, that, to our
knowledge, we are not representing any Borrower in any action, suit or proceeding in which the
pleadings request as relief that any of the obligations of such Borrower, or any of the rights of
the Lender, under the Transaction Agreements be declared invalid or subordinated or their
performance be enjoined.
Our opinions in paragraphs 1 and 2 above are based solely upon (A) certificates of good
standing issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 1, 2009, copies of
which are attached hereto as Annex 2 and (B) certificates of qualification to do business issued by
the Department of State of the State of New York on October 2, 2009, as copies of which are
attached hereto as Annex 3.
Page 3
Our opinion is subject to and limited by rules of law that limit on statutory or public policy
grounds waivers of (i) broadly or vaguely stated rights, (ii) the benefits of statutory, regulatory
or constitutional rights, (iii) unknown future defenses or (iv) rights to defenses.
We express no opinion as to any provision of the Transaction Agreements insofar as it purports
to grant a right of setoff in respect of any loan party’s assets to any person other than a
creditor of such loan party.
We express no opinion regarding the enforceability of any of the Transaction Agreements.
We express no opinion as to any provision of the Transaction Agreements requiring written
amendments or waivers of the Transaction Agreements insofar as it suggests that oral or other
modifications, amendments or waivers could not be effectively agreed upon by the parties or that
the doctrine of promissory estoppel might not apply.
We express no opinion concerning: (i) federal or state securities laws or regulations; (ii)
federal or state antitrust, unfair competition or trade practice laws or regulations; (iii) pension
and employee benefit laws and regulations; (iv) compliance with fiduciary requirements; (v) federal
or state environmental laws and regulations; (vi) federal or state land use or subdivision laws or
regulations; (vii) federal or state laws and regulations concerning filing requirements; or (viii)
the attachment, perfection or priority of any liens or security interests.
We assume that you know of no agreements, understandings or negotiations between the parties
not set forth in the Transaction Agreements that would modify the terms or rights and obligations
of the parties thereunder.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the law of the State of
New York, the current Delaware General Corporation Law and, to the extent expressly set forth
herein, the federal law of the United States of America, in each case as in effect on the date
hereof, that a New York lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be
expected to recognize as being applicable to transactions of the type reflected in the Transaction
Agreements entered into by general business entities, and not including any law that is part of a
regulatory regime applicable to specific assets or business of any party to any of the Transaction
Agreements.
This opinion is furnished by us as counsel for the Borrowers and may be relied upon by you
only in connection with the Transaction Agreements. It may not be used or relied upon by you for
any other purpose or by any other person, nor may copies be delivered to any other person, without
in each instance our prior written consent. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set
forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other
matters. This letter speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or
supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this
opinion and come to our attention, or any future changes in laws.
