“2.25 Incremental Loans. (a) At any time prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent
(which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request the
addition of up to two new tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Loans”).
The Incremental Loans shall:
(i) be in an aggregate principal amount up to $50,000,000 and be
made in up to two drawings, provided that, each borrowing shall be a
minimum amount of $20,000,000;
(ii) unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, be Term Loans
for all purposes hereunder (including for purposes of sharing of
Collateral and guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
and for the purposes of any optional or mandatory prepayment);
(iii) have such pricing as may be agreed by the Borrower and the
Lenders providing such Incremental Loans; provided that the applicable
margin for the Incremental Loans shall not exceed the Applicable
Margin then in effect for the Initial Term Loans plus 0.25%;
(iv) have the same or longer Weighted Average Life to Maturity as
the Initial Term Loans; and
(v) have a final maturity date occurring not earlier than the
date which, on the date the Incremental Loans are made, is the
scheduled final maturity date of the Initial Term Loans;
and shall otherwise have the same terms as the Term Loans (and, unless
otherwise noted in this Agreement, references to Term Loans shall be deemed
as the context requires to include references to the Incremental Loans).
The Borrower shall have the right to arrange for one or more banks or other
financial institutions (any such bank or other financial institution being
called an “Incremental Lender”) to extend commitments to provide
Incremental Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount, if any, by
which the commitments by the Lenders to provide such Incremental Loans are
less than the amount thereof requested by the Borrower, provided that, each
Incremental Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
No Lender shall have any obligation to make an Incremental Loan unless and
until it commits to do so. Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans
shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment to
this Agreement executed by each of the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to
provide such Commitment, each Incremental Lender, if any, and the
Administrative Agent, and such amendments to the other Loan Documents
(executed by the relevant Loan Party and the Administrative Agent only) as
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate
to effect such purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment executed
for the purpose of making Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans
Commitments under this Agreement, shall require, as a condition to its
effectiveness, the signature of any Lender that is not obligated to make an
Incremental Loan under such amendment. The effectiveness of such amendment
shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof and, if different,
on the date on which the Incremental Loans are made, of each of the
conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 5.2.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, (i) the Borrower may not make more than two requests pursuant to
Section 2.25 or pursuant to Section 2.26, provided that, it is understood
and agreed that the Borrower may, at its sole option, make one request
pursuant to each of Section 2.25 and Section 2.26 and (ii) the aggregate
amount of Incremental Loans requested by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.25 plus the aggregate amount of increases of the Revolving Credit
Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall not exceed $50,000,000.
2.26 Increases in Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) At any time prior
to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by notice to the
Administrative Agent (a “Revolving Commitment Increase Notice”), which
notice shall promptly be copied to each Lender, request an increase in the
Total Revolving Credit Commitments in an aggregate principal amount up to
$50,000,000 (the “Revolving Offered Increase Amount”), provided that each
such Revolving Offered Increase Amount shall be in a minimum amount of not
less than $10,000,000. The Borrower may, at its election, (i) offer one or
more of the Revolving Credit Lenders the opportunity to provide all or a
portion of any Revolving Offered Increase Amount pursuant to subparagraph
(c) below and/or (ii) with the consent of the Swing Line Lender, each
Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), offer one or more additional banks, financial
institutions or other entities the opportunity to provide all or a portion
of such Revolving Offered Increase Amount pursuant to subparagraph (b)
below. Each Revolving Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which
Revolving Credit Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other
entities the Borrower desires to provide such Revolving Offered Increase
Amount. The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent will notify such Revolving Credit Lenders, and/or banks, financial
institutions or other entities.
(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity
that the Borrower selects to offer participation in any increased
Total Revolving Credit Commitments and that elects to become a party
to this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit Commitment in an
amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to clause (ii) of
Section 2.26(a) shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the
Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the
Third Amendment (a “New Lender Supplement”), whereupon such bank,
financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Revolving
Credit Lender”) shall become a Revolving Credit Lender for all
purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and
shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement,
provided that the Revolving Credit Commitment of any such New
Revolving Credit Lender shall be in an amount not less than
$5,000,000.
(c) Any Revolving Credit Lender that accepts an offer to it by
the Borrower to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to
clause (i) of Section 2.26(a) shall, in each case, execute a
“Commitment Increase Supplement” with the Borrower, the Swing Line
Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Third Amendment,
whereupon such Revolving Credit Lender shall be bound by and entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of
its Revolving Credit Commitment as so increased.
(d) On any Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, (i) each
bank, financial institution or other entity that is a New Revolving
Credit Lender pursuant Section 2.26(b) or any Revolving Credit Lender
that has increased its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section
2.26(c) shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts
in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall
determine, for the benefit of the other relevant Revolving Credit
Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to
such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such
other relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, each Revolving Credit
Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the
Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Percentage of such Revolving
Credit Loans and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and
reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Revolving
Credit Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Percentage of such
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans as of the date of any increase in
the Revolving Credit Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of
the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable,
specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.5). The deemed payments made pursuant to
clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence in
respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to indemnification by
the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.19 if the deemed
payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest
Periods.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
2.26, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this
Section 2.26 cause the sum of Total Revolving Credit Commitments and
outstanding Term Loans to exceed $285,000,000, (ii) subject to
Section 2.25(b), in no event may the Borrower deliver more than two Revolving
Commitment Increase Notices, (iii) subject to Section 2.25(b), in no
event shall there be more than two Revolving Credit Increase Effective
Dates and (iv) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its
Revolving Credit Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole
discretion.
(f) The increase in the Revolving Credit provided pursuant to
this Section 2.26 shall be effective on the date (the “Revolving
Credit Increase Effective Date”) the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders receives (i) a legal opinion of counsel to the
Borrower covering such matters as are customary for transactions of
this type and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent and (ii) certified copies of resolutions of the
Borrower authorizing such Revolving Offered Increase Amount.”

3. Amendment to Section 2 of the Credit Agreement. (a) Section 2 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby further amended by inserting the following new Sections in the
appropriate numerical order:
“2.25 Incremental Loans. (a) At any time prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request the addition of up
to two new tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Loans”). The Incremental Loans
shall:
(i) be in an aggregate principal amount up to $50,000,000 and be
made in up to two drawings, provided that, each borrowing shall be a
minimum amount of $20,000,000;
(ii) unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, be Term Loans
for all purposes hereunder (including for purposes of sharing of
Collateral and guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
and for the purposes of any optional or mandatory prepayment);
(iii) have such pricing as may be agreed by the Borrower and the
Lenders providing such Incremental Loans; provided that the applicable
margin for the Incremental Loans shall not exceed the Applicable
Margin then in effect for the Initial Term Loans plus 0.25%;
(iv) have the same or longer Weighted Average Life to Maturity as
the Initial Term Loans; and
(v) have a final maturity date occurring not earlier than the
date which, on the date the Incremental Loans are made, is the
scheduled final maturity date of the Initial Term Loans;
and shall otherwise have the same terms as the Term Loans (and, unless
otherwise noted in this Agreement, references to Term Loans shall be deemed as the
context requires to include references to the Incremental Loans). The Borrower
shall have the right to arrange for one or more banks or other financial
institutions (any such bank or other financial institution being called an
“Incremental Lender”) to extend commitments to provide Incremental Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to the amount, if any, by
which the commitments by the Lenders to provide such Incremental Loans are less
than the amount thereof requested by the Borrower, provided that, each Incremental
Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). No Lender shall have
any obligation to make an Incremental Loan unless and until it commits to do so.
Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this
Agreement pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement executed by each of the
Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, each Incremental
Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent, and such amendments to the other
Loan Documents (executed by the relevant Loan Party and the Administrative Agent
only) as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem
appropriate to effect such purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment
executed for the purpose of making Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans
Commitments under this Agreement, shall require, as a condition to its
effectiveness, the signature of any Lender that is not obligated to make an
Incremental Loan under such amendment. The effectiveness of such amendment shall
be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof and, if different, on the date
on which the Incremental Loans are made, of each of the conditions set forth in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 5.2.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i)
the Borrower may not make more than two requests pursuant to Section 2.25 or
pursuant to Section 2.26, provided that, it is understood and agreed that the
Borrower may, at its sole option, make one request pursuant to each of Section
2.25 and Section 2.26 and (ii) the aggregate amount of Incremental Loans requested
by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25 plus the aggregate amount of
increases of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.26 shall
not exceed $50,000,000.
2.26 Increases in Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) At any time prior to the
Revolving Credit Termination Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative
Agent (a “Revolving Commitment Increase Notice”), which notice shall promptly be
copied to each Lender, request an increase in the Total Revolving Credit
Commitments in an aggregate principal amount up to $50,000,000 (the “Revolving
Offered Increase Amount”), provided that each such Revolving Offered Increase
Amount shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $10,000,000. The Borrower
may, at its election, (i) offer one or more of the Revolving Credit Lenders the
opportunity to provide all or a portion of any Revolving Offered Increase Amount
pursuant to subparagraph (c) below and/or (ii) with the consent of the Swing Line
Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), offer one or more additional banks, financial
institutions or other entities the opportunity to provide all or a portion of such
Revolving Offered Increase Amount pursuant to subparagraph (b)
below. Each Revolving Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which
Revolving Credit Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities
the Borrower desires to provide such Revolving Offered Increase Amount. The
Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will notify
such Revolving Credit Lenders, and/or banks, financial institutions or other
entities.
(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity that the
Borrower selects to offer participation in any increased Total Revolving
Credit Commitments and that elects to become a party to this Agreement and
provide a Revolving Credit Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by
it pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 2.26(a) shall execute a New Lender
Supplement with the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and
the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Third
Amendment (a “New Lender Supplement”), whereupon such bank, financial
institution or other entity (herein called a “New Revolving Credit Lender”)
shall become a Revolving Credit Lender for all purposes and to the same
extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to
the benefits of this Agreement, provided that the Revolving Credit Commitment
of any such New Revolving Credit Lender shall be in an amount not less than
$5,000,000.
(c) Any Revolving Credit Lender that accepts an offer to it by the
Borrower to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to clause (i)
of Section 2.26(a) shall, in each case, execute a “Commitment Increase
Supplement” with the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender and
the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Third
Amendment, whereupon such Revolving Credit Lender shall be bound by and
entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of
its Revolving Credit Commitment as so increased.
(d) On any Revolving Credit Increase Effective Date, (i) each bank,
financial institution or other entity that is a New Revolving Credit Lender
pursuant Section 2.26(b) or any Revolving Credit Lender that has increased
its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.26(c) shall make
available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available
funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the
other relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, as being required in order to cause,
after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make
payments to such other relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, each Revolving
Credit Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the
Lenders to equal its Revolving Credit Percentage of such Revolving Credit
Loans and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of all the Revolving Credit Lenders to
equal its Revolving Credit Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans as of the date of any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments
(with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related
Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the
Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5). The deemed
payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence
in
respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to indemnification by
the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.19 if the deemed payment
occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.26, (i)
in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section 2.26
cause the sum of Total Revolving Credit Commitments and outstanding Term
Loans to exceed $285,000,000, (ii) subject to Section 2.25(b), in no event
may the Borrower deliver more than two Revolving Commitment Increase Notices,
(iii) subject to Section 2.25(b), in no event shall there be more than two
Revolving Credit Increase Effective Dates and (iv) no Lender shall have any
obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment unless it agrees to do
so in its sole discretion.
(f) The increase in the Revolving Credit provided pursuant to this
Section 2.26 shall be effective on the date (the “Revolving Credit Increase
Effective Date”) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders
receives (i) a legal opinion of counsel to the Borrower covering such matters
as are customary for transactions of this type and such other matters as may
be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and (ii) certified copies
of resolutions of the Borrower authorizing such Revolving Offered Increase
Amount.”

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable
principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Amendment Documents, the
borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, the consummation of the Acquisition
and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law
or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or
any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security
Documents).
(c) Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party herein
or in or pursuant to the Loan Documents is true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the Third Amendment Effective Date as if made on and as of
such date (except that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made
as of an earlier date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
such earlier date).

respects all agreements and satisfied all conditions which this Amendment and the
other Loan Documents provide shall be performed or satisfied by the Borrower or
the other Loan Parties on or before the Third Amendment Effective Date.

occurred and is continuing, or will result from the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Amendment.
13. Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative
Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection
with this Amendment, any other documents prepared in connection herewith and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent.
14. Limited Effect. Except as expressly provided hereby, all of the terms and
provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in
full force and effect. The amendments contained herein shall not be construed as a
waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or for any purpose except as expressly set forth herein or a consent to any
further or future action on the part of the Borrower that would require the waiver or
consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

and
Each of the Lenders party to the
Credit Agreement referred to below:
Credit Agreement referred to below:
We have acted as special counsel to MAPCO Express, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Borrower”), Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), and each of the entities
listed on Annex A attached hereto (together with the Borrower and Holdings, each a “Loan Party” and
collectively the “Loan Parties”), in connection with the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2005 (such agreement, excluding
the schedules and exhibits thereto and as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of August 18,
2005, the Second Amendment, dated as of October 11, 2005, and the Third Amendment, the “Credit
Agreement”), among the Borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities
from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Xxxxxx Brothers Inc., as advisor, sole lead
arranger and sole bookrunner, SunTrust Bank, as syndication agent, Bank Leumi USA, as
co-administrative agent, and Xxxxxx Commercial Paper Inc., as administrative agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and the other Transaction Documents (as defined below).
In such capacity, we have been asked to render certain opinions in connection with the Third
Amendment. All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective
meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have
examined and relied on the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of each of the following (each of which, other than the Supplements (as defined
below) is dated on or as of the date hereof):
(1) | the Third Amendment; | ||
(2) | the Acknowledgment and Consent executed by each of the Loan Parties (the “Acknowledgement and Consent”); | ||

(collectively, the “Mortgage Amendments”); and | |||
(5) | the Mortgages executed by the Borrower and the relevant trustee in connection with each relevant New Mortgaged Property (collectively, the “Deeds of Trust” and together with the Mortgage Amendments, the “Real Property Documents”). |
The documents listed in items (1) through (3) above are hereinafter referred to
collectively as the “Loan Documents.” The documents listed in items (1) through (5)
above are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents.”
As to certain questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed below, we have
relied upon statements and certificates of representatives of the Borrower and the other
Loan Parties, and of public officials and upon representations and warranties made in the
Transaction Documents (other than those which are expressed herein as our opinions). We
have examined such certificates of public officials and such other persons referred to
herein, and we have made no effort to verify independently the facts set forth in such
certificates and in the Transaction Documents; however, nothing has come to our knowledge
that contradicts any such facts. We have also assumed the due execution and delivery by
you, pursuant to due authorization by you, of the Transaction Documents to which you are
a party, and the enforceability against you of the Transaction Documents to which you are
a party or a beneficiary.
In rendering the following opinions, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all
signatures on the documents reviewed by us, (ii) the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to the originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies, (iv) that each party to the Transaction Documents other than
the Loan Parties (A) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (B) has full power, authority, and legal right
to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which
it is a party, (C) has duly authorized by all requisite action its execution, delivery,
and performance thereof, and (D) pursuant to such authority, has duly executed and
delivered such Transaction Documents by its duly authorized officers, (v) the legal
capacity of all natural persons executing the Transaction Documents, and (vi) that there
are no oral or written statements or agreements that modify, amend or vary, or purport to
modify, amend or vary, any of the terms of the Transaction Documents.
In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have also assumed that with respect
to each Loan Party listed on Annex A attached hereto, (a) such Loan Party is validly
existing and in good standing as a corporation in its respective jurisdiction of
organization, (b) the execution and delivery by such Loan Party of each Transaction
Document to which it is a party, and the performance by such Loan Party of its
obligations thereunder, are within its corporate power and authority and have been duly
authorized by all corporate action, (c) the Transaction Documents to which such Loan
Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party, and (d) the
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the fulfillment of the respective
terms and conditions by such Loan Party, the consummation by such Loan Party of

the respective transactions contemplated thereby and the performance by such Loan Party
of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will not
result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, its respective organizational
documents.
In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have also assumed that (i) no order,
consent, approval, license or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration
with, or exemption by, any court, governmental body or authority, or any subdivision
thereof, is required to authorize or is required in connection with, the execution and
delivery by any person or entity identified in any Transaction Document as a party
thereto, or in connection with the performance of its obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, other than those that have been
obtained or made and are in full force and effect (provided, that we make no such
assumption with respect to consents, authorizations or approvals and the like applicable
to the Loan Parties to the extent expressed in our opinion rendered in paragraph 6
below), and (ii) the Administrative Agent has been and is the duly appointed agent of
each of the other Lenders.
Based upon the foregoing, and upon an examination of such questions of law as we
have considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion, and subject to
the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we advise
you that, in our opinion:
1. | Each of the Borrower and Holdings is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation in the State of Delaware. | ||
2. | The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and Holdings of each Transaction Document to which it is a party, and its performance of its obligations thereunder and the granting of the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Real Property Documents, are within its corporate power and authority and have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action. | ||
3. | Each Transaction Document to which Borrower or Holdings is a party has been duly executed and delivered by each of the Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be. | ||
4. | Each of the Loan Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms. | ||
5. | The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the fulfillment of the respective terms and conditions thereof by each Loan Party, its borrowings in accordance with the Loan Documents, the granting of the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Real Property Documents, and the performance by each such Loan Party of its payment obligations under the Transaction |

Documents to which such Loan Party is a party, (i) will not result in the case of the Borrower or Holdings in any violation of (A) its Organizational Documents or (B) any federal or New York statute or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any New York or federal statute or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any order known to us issued by any court or Governmental Authority and (ii) in the case of each Loan Party, will not conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien or security interest in its properties pursuant to, the terms of any agreement listed on Annex B. For purposes hereof, the term “Organizational Documents” shall mean the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Borrower and Holdings; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes hereof the term “Organizational Documents” shall only be deemed to refer to these documents that have been attached to the secretary’s certificates of the Borrower and Holdings delivered to counsel for the Administrative Agent concurrently herewith, or, if Holdings does not deliver such certificate, the secretary’s certificate delivered by Holdings upon the original closing of the Credit Agreement. | |||
6. | No consent, authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any New York State or United States Governmental Authority under any Applicable Law (as defined below), is required in connection with the due execution and delivery by any Loan Party of the Third Amendment, the borrowings by any Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or the performance of its payment obligations thereunder, all of which, except filings required to be made in connection with (i) the Real Property Documents, (ii) the New Mortgaged Properties and existing Mortgaged Properties affected by the transactions contemplated by the Third Amendment and (iii) the consents, waivers, approvals, filings and registrations described on Schedule 4.4 to the Credit Agreement, have been obtained, filed or made and, to the best of our knowledge, remain in full force and effect. | ||
7. | To our knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding against any Loan Party before any court, arbitrator, or Governmental Authority which purports to question the validity of the Loan Documents. | ||
8. | None of the Loan Parties is an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. None of the Loan Parties is a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. | ||
9. | The execution and delivery of the Third Amendment by the Borrower and the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulations T, |

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following assumptions, exceptions,
qualifications and limitations:
A. The foregoing opinions are limited to matters under and governed by the laws of
the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and
applicable
Federal laws of the United States of America which, in our experience, are normally
applicable
to the transactions provided for in the Loan Documents, in each case, however, exclusive
of, and
without regard to, any Excluded Laws (collectively, the “Applicable Laws”). The term
“Excluded Laws” means all (1) municipal, political subdivision (whether at the federal,
state,
regional or local level), local and county ordinances, statutes, administrative
decisions, laws,
rules and regulations, and (2) statutes, laws, rules and regulations relating to
securities, in each
case with respect to each of the foregoing, (i) as interpreted, construed or enforced
pursuant to
any judicial, arbitral or other decision or pronouncement, (ii) as in effect in any
jurisdiction,
including, without limitation, any State of the United States of America and the United
States of
America, and (iii) including, without limitation, any and all authorizations, permits,
consents,
applications, licenses, approvals, filings, registrations, publications, exemptions and
the like
required by any of them. To the extent that any of the Transaction Documents is governed
by
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States or the law
of the State
of New York, our opinion relating to those documents is based solely upon the plain
meaning of
their language, without regard to interpretation or construction that might be indicated
by the
laws governing those Transaction Documents. With respect to matters of Alabama law, we
understand that you will be relying upon the opinion of Xxxxx and Xxxxx LLP.
B. In rendering our opinions in paragraph 1 above with respect to existence and good
standing, we have relied solely upon the good standing certificates issued by the
Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware previously provided by our firm to counsel for the
Administrative
Agent, and such opinions are limited to the dates of such certificates.
C. The opinions in paragraph 4 above regarding the enforceability of the Loan
Documents are subject to the following:
1. | The enforceability of the Loan Documents and the enforceability of any security interests created thereby may be limited or affected by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, preferential transfer and other similar laws (including court decisions) now or hereafter in effect and affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally or providing for the relief of debtors, (b) the refusal of a particular court to grant or judicial discretion in granting (i) equitable remedies, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, specific performance and injunctive relief, or (ii) a particular remedy sought under any of the Loan |
