Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“Xxxxxxx Xxxxx”), has agreed to act as the representative of the several Initial Purchasers (the “Representative”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes.

The Securities (as defined below) will be issued pursuant to an indenture, to be dated as of January 27, 2015 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Notes will be issued only in book-entry form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) pursuant to a letter of representations, dated July 1, 2004 (as defined in Section 2 hereof) (the “DTC Agreement”), among the Company and the Depositary.

The holders of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, to be dated as of January 27, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will be required to file with the Commission (as defined below), under the circumstances set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act (as defined below) relating to another series of debt securities of the Company with terms substantially identical to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) to be offered in exchange for the Notes (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain holders of the Notes, and in each case, to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective.

The payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture), if any, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by (i) all of the operative subsidiaries of the Company (except for Oil-Chem Research Corporation and its subsidiaries), which are listed on the signature pages hereof as “Guarantors”, and (ii) any operative subsidiary of the Company formed or acquired after the Closing Date or any other subsidiary that executes an additional guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”). The Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the (“Securities”); and the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the (“Exchange Securities”).

The Company and the Guarantors understand that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agree that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package (the first time when sales of the Securities are made is referred to as the “Time of Sale”). The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, Subsequent Purchasers who acquire Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that such Securities may only be resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including the exemptions afforded by Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)).

The Company has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated January 22, 2015 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Pricing Supplement, dated January 22, 2015 (the “Pricing Supplement”), describing the terms of the Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package.” Promptly after this Agreement is executed and delivered, the Company will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the “Final Offering Memorandum”).

The financial data set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Summary–Summary Historical Financial Data” fairly presents the information set forth therein on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements contained in the Offering Memorandum. The statistical and market-related data and forward-looking statements included in the Offering Memorandum are based on or derived from sources that the Company and its Subsidiaries believe to be reliable and accurate in all material respects and represent their good faith estimates that are made on the basis of data derived from such sources.

(o) Incorporation and Good Standing of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has been duly incorporated or formed, as applicable, and is validly existing as a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, as applicable, and has corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Offering Memorandum and, in the case of the Company and the Guarantors, to enter into and perform its obligations under each of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement, the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Indenture. Each of the Company and each of the Guarantors is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing or equivalent status in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock or limited liability company interests of each Guarantor has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and nonassessable and is owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim, except for security interests, pledges, liens or encumbrances in favor of the lenders under the Credit Agreement.

(p) Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. At September 30, 2014, on a consolidated basis, after giving pro forma effect to the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant hereto, the Company would have an authorized and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Capitalization” (other than for subsequent issuances of capital stock, if any, pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the Offering Memorandum or upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants described in the Offering Memorandum). All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company were issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than options to acquire shares under the Company’s employee benefit plans. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted and exercised thereunder, in the Offering Memorandum accurately and fairly describes such plans, arrangements, options and rights.

(q) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors is in violation of its charter or limited liability company agreement or by-laws or is in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, note, contract, franchise, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound (including, without limitation, the Company’s Credit Agreement and the indenture governing the Company’s 6¾% Senior Notes due 2019) or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement and the Indenture by the Company and each Guarantor party thereto, and the issuance and delivery of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and by the Offering Memorandum (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company (as appropriate) action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or limited liability company agreement or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, except for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, liens, charges or encumbrances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any subsidiary. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company’s or any Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement and the Indenture or the issuance and delivery of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and by the Offering Memorandum, except such as have been obtained or made by the Company and the Guarantors and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act, applicable securities laws of the several states of the United States or provinces of Canada and except such as may be required by the securities laws of the several states of the United States or provinces of Canada with respect to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition which gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(r) No Material Actions or Proceedings. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum, there are no legal or governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the Company’s or any Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened (i) against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) which has as the subject thereof any property owned or leased by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, that, if determined adversely to the Company or such subsidiary, would result in a Material Adverse Change or adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No material labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries exists or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened or imminent.

(s) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and the Guarantors own or possess sufficient trademarks, trade names, patent rights, copyrights, licenses, approvals, trade secrets and other similar rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) reasonably necessary to conduct their businesses as now conducted; and the expected expiration of any of such Intellectual Property Rights would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others, which infringement or conflict, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

(t) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Company and each Guarantor possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except to the extent that any failure to possess the aforementioned would not materially and adversely affect the operations of the respective businesses, and neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Change.

(u) Title to Properties. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has good and marketable title to all the properties and assets reflected as owned in the financial statements referred to in Section 1(n) hereof (or elsewhere in the Offering Memorandum), in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect the Company. The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company or any subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as do not materially and adversely affect the Company.

(v) Tax Law Compliance. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of them, except where any such failure would not materially and adversely affect the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has made adequate charges, accruals and reserves in accordance with GAAP in the applicable financial statements referred to in Section 1(n) hereof in respect of all federal, state and foreign income and franchise taxes for all periods as to which the tax liability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has not been finally determined.

(w) Company and Guarantors Not an “Investment Company”. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor is, nor after receipt of payment for the Securities will any of them be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), and the Company and each Guarantor will conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

(x) Insurance. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries are insured with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles, self-insured retentions and policy limits and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate, appropriate and customary for their businesses including, without limitation, policies covering liabilities for injuries at motorsports events and real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and its subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of terrorism and vandalism and earthquakes. The Company’s insurers each have strong financial ratings from A.M. Best, Standard & Poor, or Xxxxx’x. The Company believes it has adequate, sufficient and appropriate coverage under its policies to cover all of its known litigation such that there is no need to establish a reserve for any such litigation under GAAP, except as otherwise disclosed in the Offering Memorandum. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain adequate and comparable coverage from recognized insurers as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither of the Company nor any subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(y) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation. None of the Company or any of the Guarantors has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(z) Solvency. Each of the Company and the Guarantors is, and immediately after the Closing Date (after giving effect to the issuance of the Securities and the use of proceeds thereof as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package) will be, Solvent. As used herein, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to any person on a particular date, that on such date (i) the fair market value of the assets of such person is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of such person, (ii) the present fair salable value of the assets of such person is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such person on its debts as they become absolute and matured, (iii) such person is able to realize upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities (including contingent obligations) as they mature and (iv) such person does not have unreasonably small capital.

(aa) Compliance with Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx. The Company and its subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder).

(bb) Company’s Accounting System.

Each “employee benefit plan” established or maintained by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401 of the Code is so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Change, and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification, except where such loss would not result in a Material Adverse Change.

(jj) No Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company and the Guarantors, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the FCPA or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law, including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Company, its subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, its Affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and all other applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith. “FCPA” means Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 6. Reimbursement of Initial Purchasers’ Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representative pursuant to Section 5 or 10 hereof, including if the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities on the Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any of the Guarantors to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company and the Guarantors agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers, severally, upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with the proposed purchase and the offering and sale of the Securities, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges.

Each such offer or sale shall only be made to persons whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or non-U.S. persons outside the United States to whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes offers and sales of the Securities may be made in reliance upon Regulation S upon the terms and conditions set forth in Annex I hereto, which Annex I is hereby expressly made a part hereof.

(b) No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(c) Upon original issuance by the Company, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than the Exchange Securities) shall bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER XXXXXXX 0 XX XXX XXXXXX XXXXXX SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1)(a) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (b) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A FOREIGN PERSON IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (c) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF APPLICABLE) OR (d) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT (AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS), (2) TO THE COMPANY OR (3) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE. NO REPRESENTATION CAN BE MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 FOR RESALE OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY.”

Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Company or any Guarantor for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Company or any Guarantor, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any Security.

Section 8. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. Each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which such Initial Purchaser, affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected pursuant to this Section 8(a)), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based: (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (ii) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company or any Guarantor contained herein; or (iii) in whole or in part upon any failure of the Company or any Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; or (iv) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Initial Purchaser in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i) above, provided that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable under this clause (iv) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Initial Purchaser through its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such affiliate, director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement in clause (i) shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or any Guarantor by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or its agent, expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and each of the Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Guarantor, each of their respective directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, any Guarantor or any such director, officer, employee or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or its agent expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, any Guarantor and each such director, officer, employee or controlling person for any and all reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, any Guarantor or such director, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Communication or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are (i) the statements set forth in the sentence directly above the words “Joint Book-Running Managers” on the cover page regarding delivery of the Notes and (ii) under the heading “Plan of Distribution”, (A) the third and fourth sentences in the sixth paragraph beneath the table related to market-making activities and (B) the eighth paragraph beneath the table related to short positions and syndicate covering transactions. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but (i) the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure and (ii) the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than for contribution or under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party (Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in the case of Sections 8(b) and 9 hereof), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Section 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unavailable to, or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or inaccuracy.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for purposes of indemnification.

The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each affiliate, director, officer and employee of an Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director, officer and employee of the Company or any Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

Section 10. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NYSE, or trading in securities generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on the NYSE by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or Delaware authorities; (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities; or (iv) in the judgment of the Representative there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Change. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (i) the Company or any Guarantor to any Initial Purchaser, except that the Company and the Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (ii) any Initial Purchaser to the Company, or (iii) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

Section 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors, their respective officers and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, the Company, any Guarantor or any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

Section 14. Authority of the Representative. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Section 16. Governing Law Provisions. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

Section 17. Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding, as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 18. Default of One or More of the Several Initial Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of the Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Final Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 18. Any action taken under this Section 18 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

Section 19. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company and the Guarantors are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Guarantors with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Guarantors on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company and the Guarantors except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors and that the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company and the Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company and the Guarantors may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

Section 20. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit. The section headings herein are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

Re: Speedway Motorsports, Inc.

5.125% Senior Notes Due 2023

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Guarantors (as defined below) in connection with (i) the Company’s issuance and sale (the “Transaction”) of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) and (ii) the grant by the Guarantors of the Guarantees of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture, in each case as contemplated by the purchase agreement dated January 22, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) among you, on behalf of yourselves and the several initial purchasers named in the Purchase Agreement (the “Initial Purchasers”), the Company and the guarantors listed on the signature pages thereof (the “Guarantors” and together with the Company, the “Issuers”). This opinion letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5(c) of the Purchase Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. The Notes and the Guarantees are referred to herein collectively as the Securities and the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Guarantees are referred to herein collectively as the Exchange Securities.

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have reviewed the Preliminary Offering Memorandum of the Company dated January 22, 2015 and the Pricing Supplement dated January 22, 2015 (together, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), the final Offering Memorandum of the Company dated January 22, 2015 (the “Final Offering Memorandum”); a specimen note certificate and an executed original of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the DTC Agreement; originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Issuers, such other agreements and instruments, such certificates of officers of the Issuers and other persons and such other materials as we have considered necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

Exhibit A-1

We have reviewed such documents and considered such matters of law and fact as we, in our professional judgment, have deemed appropriate to render the opinions contained herein. With respect to certain facts, we have considered it appropriate to rely upon certificates or other comparable documents of public officials and officers or other appropriate representatives of the Issuers, without investigation or analysis of any underlying data contained therein.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the further assumptions, limitations and qualifications hereinafter expressed, it is our opinion that:

(i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(ii) The Company has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Exchange Notes and the DTC Agreement.

(iii) To our knowledge, the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

(iv) Each Guarantor has been duly incorporated or formed, as applicable, and is validly existing as a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture, the Guarantees of the Notes and the Exchange Notes and, to our knowledge, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

(v) All of the issued and outstanding capital stock or limited liability company interests of each Guarantor have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, and, to our knowledge, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or any pending or threatened claim, except for security interests, pledges, liens or encumbrances in favor of the lenders under the that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated December 29, 2014 by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and the lenders named therein, as amended through the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”).

Exhibit A-2

(vi) The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company conforms in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum. All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and, to our knowledge, have been issued in compliance with the registration and qualification requirements of federal and state securities laws.

(vii) The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Guarantor.

(viii) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding agreement of, the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(ix) The DTC Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(x) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Guarantor and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

(xi) The Notes are in the form contemplated by the Indenture, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(xii) The Exchange Notes have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company, and when issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Exchange Offer (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Trustee), will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(xiii) The Guarantees of the Notes are in the form contemplated by the Indenture, have been duly authorized for issuance by the Guarantors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture and have been duly executed and delivered by each of the Guarantors and, when the Notes have been authenticated in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor, the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding agreements of the Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The Guarantees of the Exchange Notes have been duly authorized for issuance by the Guarantors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture and, upon issuance of the Exchange Notes (assuming due execution and delivery), will constitute valid and binding agreements of the Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

Exhibit A-3

(xiv) The Notes, the Guarantees, the Indenture and the Credit Agreement conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

(xv) The documents incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum (other than the financial statements and financial schedules therein, as to which we render no opinion), when they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

(xvi) The statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the captions “Description of Certain Indebtedness”, “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, “Notice to Investors” and “Description of Notes”, insofar as such statements constitute matters of law, summaries of legal matters, documents or legal proceedings or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly present, in all material respects, the matters referred to therein.

(xvii) No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company’s and each Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance, as applicable, of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement and the Indenture or the issuance and delivery of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, or consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, except such as have been obtained or made by the Company or any of the Guarantors and are in full force and effect under the Securities Act, applicable state securities or blue sky laws and except such as may be required by federal and state securities laws with respect to the Company’s or each of the Guarantors’ obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

(xviii) The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Agreement, the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Indenture by the Company and each of the Guarantors party thereto and the performance by the Company and each of the Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder, including use of the proceeds from the Securities as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Use of Proceeds”: (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company (as appropriate) action on the part of the Company and each of the Guarantors party thereto; (ii) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws or certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of the Company or any Guarantor; (iii) will not constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Credit Agreement, or any other material Existing Instrument set forth in Part IV, Item 15(a)(3) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and Part II, Item 6 of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively; and (iv) will not result in any violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation of the United States of America or the State of North Carolina or any applicable law, rule or regulation of the State of Delaware applicable to corporations or limited liability companies, or, to our knowledge, administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any subsidiary (provided, however, we render no opinion in this clause (iv) with respect to performance by the Company and each of the Guarantors party thereto of obligations under the indemnification sections of the Purchase Agreement).

Exhibit A-4

(xix) None of the Company nor any of the Guarantors is or after receipt of payment for the Securities will be, an “investment company” within the meaning of Investment Company Act.

(xx) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor is in violation of its charter or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, or bylaws or, to our knowledge, any law, administrative regulation, administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any subsidiary or, to our knowledge, is in Default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any material Existing Instrument set forth in Part IV, Item 15(a)(3) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and Part II, Item 6 of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, except in each such case for such violations or Defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change.

(xxi) We do not represent the Company in any pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries, that if determined adversely to the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Change, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company or the Guarantors to perform their obligations under the Indenture, the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Securities, and, to our knowledge, no actions, suits or proceedings that would individually or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Change are pending, threatened or contemplated other than, in each case, such actions, suits or proceedings that have been disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum.

(xxii) Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in the Purchase Agreement, no registration of the Notes or the Guarantees under the Securities Act, and no qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act with respect thereto, is required in connection with the purchase of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers or the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, other than any registration or qualification that may be required in connection with the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum or in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement. We express no opinion, however, as to when or under what circumstances any Securities initially sold by the Initial Purchasers may be reoffered or resold.

Exhibit A-5

In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent registered public accountants for the Company and with representatives of the Initial Purchasers at which the contents of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and related matters were discussed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum (other than as specified above), on the basis of the foregoing, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale, or that the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date or at the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that we express no belief as to the financial statements, or other financial data derived therefrom, included in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendments or supplements thereto).

To the extent that the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Registration Rights Agreement, DTC Agreement, Indenture, Securities or Exchange Securities may be dependent upon such matters, we have assumed for purposes of this opinion that each of such documents constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto other than the Company and the Guarantors (the “Other Parties”), enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms; that each of the Other Parties is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and that each of the Other Parties has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under such documents, as applicable.

Insofar as our opinion relates to the existence and good standing of the Company, we have relied solely upon a good standing certificate from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Company, no further investigation having been performed by or requested of us. Insofar as our opinion relates to the due incorporation or organization, as applicable, existence and good standing of the Guarantors, we have relied solely upon certificates of existence or good standing, as applicable, from the Secretaries of State of the States of Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas with respect to such entities, no further investigation having been performed by or requested of us. Insofar as our opinion relates to the due qualification of the Company or of any Guarantor that to our knowledge is required to be qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business, and to the good standing of the Company or any such Guarantor, in jurisdictions other than their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or formation, as applicable, we have relied solely upon certificates of existence, authorization or similar certificates from the Secretaries of State of the States of California, Georgia, Kentucky, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, as applicable, with respect to such companies, no further investigation having been performed by or requested of us.

Exhibit A-6

Our opinions as to enforceability in paragraphs (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii) and (xiii) above are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and to general principles of equity, including (without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. In addition, principles of public policy may preclude or limit the enforcement of provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and/or the Indenture purporting to require any of the following, and, accordingly, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provisions therein that: (i) release, exculpate or exempt a party from, or require indemnification of a party for, liability for its own action or inaction in circumstances involving such party’s negligence, bad faith or similar conduct; (ii); purport to provide for specific performance or other equitable remedies; (iii) purport to make void any act done in contravention thereof; (iv) purport to authorize a party to act in its sole discretion or provide that determination by a party is conclusive; (v) require waivers or amendments to be made only in writing; (vi) purport to effect waivers of constitutional, statutory or equitable rights or the effect of applicable laws; (vii) impose liquidated damages, penalties or forfeiture or that limit or alter laws requiring mitigation of damages; (viii) concern choice of forum or consent to the jurisdiction of courts, venue of actions or means of service of process; (ix) purport to require a party thereto to pay or reimburse attorneys’ fees incurred by another party, or to indemnify another party therefor, which provisions may be limited by applicable statutes and decisions relating to the collection and award of attorneys’ fees; (x) specify that enumerated remedies are not exclusive or that a party has the right to pursue multiple remedies without regard to other remedies elected or that all remedies are cumulative; (xi) relate to severability; (xii) permit the exercise, under certain circumstances, of rights without notice or without providing opportunity to cure failures to perform; or (xiii) relate to indemnification for liabilities under federal or state securities laws.

Our opinions in paragraphs (xvii) and (xxii) above, to the extent they relate to consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications that are or may be required under the Securities Act or the Trust Indenture Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, relate solely to the transactions among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and to the initial reoffer, resale and delivery of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Final Offering Memorandum, and we express no opinion herein with respect to any subsequent resales of the Securities or the effect of such resales on the availability to the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or requirements for registration or qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

Where any opinion or confirmation is qualified by the phrase “to our knowledge,” the lawyers in the primary lawyer group of this firm involved in our general representation of the Company and its subsidiaries are without actual knowledge, or conscious awareness, that the opinion or confirmation is untrue.

Exhibit A-7

Except as otherwise indicated in the last two sentences of this paragraph, the opinions set forth herein are limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of North Carolina, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware, and no opinion is expressed herein as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion concerning any matter respecting or affected by any laws other than laws that a lawyer in North Carolina exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Issuers, the Transaction or both. The opinions concerning valid, binding and enforceable agreements provided in paragraphs (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii) and (xiii) above also include matters governed by the laws of the State of New York. The opinions provided in paragraphs (iv), (v) and (xviii) above and the opinions concerning due authorization, execution and delivery by the Issuers in paragraphs (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii) and (xiii) above also include matters governed by the business corporation laws or limited liability company laws, as applicable, of the States of Georgia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Nevada, Tennessee and Texas; and with respect to such laws of Georgia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Nevada, Tennessee and Texas, our opinions are based solely on our reading, as North Carolina lawyers, of unofficial compilations of the corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, statutes of such states available to us.

This opinion letter is delivered solely for your benefit in connection with the Transaction and may not be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent in each instance. Our opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to advise you of any changes in applicable law or any other matters that may come to our attention after the date hereof that may affect our opinions expressed herein.

Very truly yours,

RDH/EWW/JDT
