Terms defined in the Second Amendment are used herein as therein defined. This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 3 of the Second Amendment.
I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.
The opinions expressed in this letter are limited to the laws of the States of New York and Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States of America.
Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

Exhibit A

3. The Credit Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each Co-Borrower constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Co-Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
4. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the best of our knowledge threatened against or affecting, Carlisle or any of Subsidiaries of Carlisle before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official, in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of Carlisle and Carlisle’s Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, or which in any manner draws into question the validity of the Second Amendment.
5. Each of Carlisle’s corporate Subsidiaries is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted except where the failure to have such powers, licenses, authorizations, consents or approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
