Assumptions and Qualifications. We have been furnished with and examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of all such records of the Loan Parties, agreements and other instruments, certificates of officers and representatives of the Loan Parties, certificates of public officials, and other documents as we have deemed necessary or desirable as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. As to questions of fact material to such opinions, we have, without independent verification of their accuracy, relied to the extent we deem reasonably appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties made in the Transaction Documents and upon their respective Officer’s Certificates. In making such examinations, we have assumed, with your consent (a) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of officers of the Loan Parties), (b) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (c) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, (d) the authenticity of the originals of the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clause (c), (e) the prompt and proper recordation of any Transaction Documents in which recordation is anticipated, (f) that each party to the Transaction Documents (other than the Delaware Loan Parties and the Texas Loan Parties) has full power, authority, and legal right to enter into and perform all agreements to which it is a party and has duly authorized, executed, and delivered each such Transaction Document, (g) that the Transaction Documents (other than the Oklahoma Mortgageand New Mexico Mortgages) constitute the valid, binding, and enforceable agreement of all the parties thereto (other than the Loan Parties), and (h) the correctness and accuracy of all the facts set forth in all certificates and reports identified in this opinion. We have been advised by officers of the Loan Parties (and with your consent have relied on that advice) that the agreements described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Material Agreements”) are the only agreements and there are no orders, writs, judgments, or decrees that are material to Borrower or applicable Loan Party and which, if violated by the execution, delivery, or performance of the Transaction Documents, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the validity, performance, or enforceability of any Transaction Document or the ability of any Loan Party to fulfill its material obligations under the Transaction Documents. We advise you that we have not reviewed, and have not devoted substantive attention to, any other agreements (other than those described on Exhibit A) for the purposes of rendering the opinion set forth in Paragraph 12 below. We have made no examination of, and express no opinion with respect to, any financial, accounting, or similar covenant or provision contained in the Material Agreements to the extent that any such covenant or provision would require a determination as to any financial or accounting matters. In addition, we express no opinion as to any breach of any confidentiality provision contained in any Material Agreement caused by any Transaction Document or Borrower’s or applicable Loan Party’s actions pursuant thereto or in contemplation thereof. We note that some of the Material Agreements are not governed by Texas law. Therefore, we have assumed that a court would enforce the Material Agreements as written, and we have limited our opinion to matters readily ascertainable from the face of the Material Agreements. We also note that some of the Material Agreements are not assignable by Borrower or applicable Loan Party (those Material Agreements which pursuant to their terms are not assignable by Borrower or applicable Loan Party are described on Exhibit B (collectively, the “Non-Assignable Material Agreements”)). As a result, to the extent that the Collateral includes Borrower’s or applicable Loan Party’s rights under the Material Agreements, we have relied upon Section 9.408(a) of the UCC (defined below). We note that any assignment of Non-Assignable Material Agreements is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.408(d) of the UCC. Our opinions set forth below are limited solely to matters governed by the laws of the State of Texas, the federal laws of the United States of America, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (collectively, “Applicable Law”) and we express no opinion as to questions concerning the laws of any other jurisdiction. The opinions expressed herein are limited to the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Texas (the “Texas UCC”) and the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”) in effect on the date hereof (the Texas UCC and the Delaware UCC are collectively, the “UCC”).
