Re: The New York Restaurant Group Inc.
Second Amendment to Loan Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the execution and
delivery by The New York Restaurant Group Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Company"), of the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of June 29, 1999
(the "Amendment") by and among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined therein)
and Fleet Bank, N.A. ("Fleet"). This opinion is rendered to you, at the request
of Company. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Amendment.
We have acted as counsel to Company in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery of the Amendment and in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery by the Company of the Senior Subordinated Note Purchase
Agreement dated as of June 29, 1999 (the "Note Purchase Agreement") by and among
the Company and Magnetite Asset Investors LLC ("Magnetite"), and the
transactions contemplated therein. In connection with such representation, we
have examined originals, or copies identified to our satisfaction as being true
copies, of the following:
(1) The Amendment;
(2) The Note Purchase Agreement;
(3) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date
and certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;
(4) The By-laws of the Company, as amended to date, certified by its
Secretary;
(5) Resolutions of the directors of the Company certified by its
Secretary, approving the Amendment; and
(6) Certificates of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
regarding the legal existence and corporate good standing of the
Company dated as of June 24, 1999.
The Company and any of its Subsidiaries signatory to the Amendment are referred
to in this letter collectively as the "Loan Parties."
We have also examined copies, identified to our satisfaction, of
shareholder and director consents, and certificates of public officials,
respecting the liquidation and dissolution of Manhattan Ocean Holdings, Inc.,
Cite Holdings, Inc., Atlantic & Pacific Grill Holdings, Inc., MPM Holdings,
Inc., NYRGI Holdings, Inc., S&W Chicago Holdings, Inc., S&W D.C. Holdings, Inc.,
MOC D.C. Holdings, Inc. and S&W New Orleans Holdings, Inc., (collectively, the
"Holding Companies").
We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such agreements and instruments, corporate
records, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Loan Parties,
and such other documents and records and such matters of law as we have deemed
necessary as a basis for the opinions set forth below. As to questions of fact
material to such opinions, we have relied, without independent verification,
upon certificates of public officials and of officers of the Loan Parties,
copies of which have been delivered to you, and the factual accuracy and
completeness of all the representations and warranties made by the parties to
the Amendment and the Note Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Agreements")
and the other documents executed by Company in connection with the Agreements.
The opinions expressed herein as to the valid existence and good standing of the
Company are as of the date of the certificates referred to in clause (6) above
and are based solely on such certificates. With your permission, we have not
obtained certificates or other governmental confirmation as to the valid
existence and good standing of the Subsidiaries; our opinions as to the valid
existence and good standing of the Subsidiaries are therefore based solely on
the officer's certificates referred to above.
As used in this opinion and unless otherwise specified herein, the phrases
"to our knowledge," "known to us" and the like refer to the actual present
knowledge of lawyers currently in this firm who have performed substantive legal
services on behalf of Company in connection with the transactions referred to
herein, without any independent investigation or file or docket review.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, with your permission and
without
-2-
independent verification, (a) the genuineness of all signatures, (b) the legal
capacity of all natural persons who have signed documents examined by us, (c)
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified
or photostatic copies, (d) that the parties to the Agreements other than the
Loan Parties have each duly authorized, executed and delivered such Agreements
and all other relevant documents and instruments, and (e) that each of the
parties to the Agreements other than the Loan Parties has all requisite power
and authority to enter into and perform its respective obligations in connection
with the transactions described in the Agreements.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and, for purposes of the opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
below, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We call to your
attention that the Agreements provide that they are to be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, as to which we
have made no independent investigation and express no opinion. Accordingly, our
opinion is based on the assumption, with your consent, that the Agreements will
be governed by the internal laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
notwithstanding its express terms.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon and subject to the
assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth below, we are
of the opinion that:
1. Each Loan Party is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in corporate good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.
Each Loan Party has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as to our knowledge it is
presently conducted, and to enter into and perform its obligations under the
Amendment.
2. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party and the performance by
each Loan Party of its obligations under the Amendment have been duly authorized
by all requisite corporate action by each Loan Party. The Amendment has been
duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in
accordance with its terms.
3. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party and the performance by
each Loan Party of its obligations under the Amendment and the consummation of
the transactions pursuant thereto do not violate the charter documents or
By-laws of such Loan Party or violate any of the terms of (a) any existing
statute, rule or regulation binding on any Loan Party or (b) to our knowledge,
any order of any court or governmental agency specifically naming any Loan
Party.
-3-
4. No governmental consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations,
declarations or filings (other than such of the foregoing as (a) are
specifically referred to or disclosed in the Amendment, (b) which have been
obtained or completed prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by
the Amendment or (c) are filings required to perfect security interests) are
required by any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by any Loan Party of the Amendment.
5. No Loan Party is (a) an "investment company" or a company "controlled"
by an "investment company," as such terms are defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, (b) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company" or an "affiliate" of a "holding company" or an "affiliate" of
a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" within the meaning of the Public
Utility Holding Act of 1935, or (c) subject to regulation under the Federal
Power Act or the Interstate Commerce Act.
7. There are to our knowledge no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or
overtly threatened against any Loan Party seeking to enjoin or prevent the
transactions contemplated by the Amendment.
8. The Note Purchase Agreement constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of the Company, and to the extent that the Note Purchase Agreement
purports to bind Magnetite it creates a valid and binding obligation of
Magnetite; and Magnetite's rights under the Note Purchase Agreement are
subordinate to the rights of Fleet against the Company to the extent and on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
9. The Holding Companies have been liquidated and dissolved and the
ownership interests of the Company's Subsidiaries held by the Holding Companies
have been distributed to the Company as sole shareholder of each of the Holding
Companies in cancellation of the Company's stock in the Holding Companies.
The opinions contained herein are subject to the following conditions and
qualifications:
(A) We have not been requested to render, and with your permission we do
not express, an opinion as to the application of any insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent obligation or similar laws.
(B) We express no opinion as to any provision of the Amendment to the
extent it provides that the Lender may set off and apply any deposits at any
time held, or any other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender or
participant to or for the account of any Loan Party.
-4-
(C) Our opinions in paragraph 2 and 8 above, with respect to the validity,
binding effect and enforceability of the agreements or provisions thereof
referred to in such paragraphs, are subject to the following: (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership and other laws now or
hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights, (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, including, without
limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive
relief, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and to the
discretion of the court before which any such proceeding may be brought and
(iii) public policy considerations or court decisions which may limit the rights
of any party to obtain certain remedies and to indemnification, including
indemnification for tortious or criminal acts or violations of law.
(D) Our opinion in paragraph 3 above as to compliance with certain
statutes, rules and regulations is limited to those that, in our experience, are
normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Amendment.
The opinions set forth in this letter are limited to the specific issues
addressed herein and to statutes, regulations, rules, decisions, decrees and
facts existing on the date hereof. In rendering such opinions, we disclaim any
obligation to advise any party to whom this opinion is addressed of any change
in any of these sources of law or of any subsequent legal or factual
developments which might affect any matters addressed or opinions set forth
herein.
The opinions set forth herein are rendered solely to the parties to whom
this letter is addressed, are solely for the benefit of such parties in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement,
and may not be relied upon by them for any other purpose. This letter is not to
be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any financial
statements or other public releases, nor is it to be filed with any
governmental agency or other person or entity, without the prior written consent
of this firm. This letter may not be delivered to or relied upon by any other

Very truly yours,
