2.The Indenture constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
3.The Notes, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
4.The Note Documents have been duly executed by the Company, to the extent such actions are governed by the laws of the State of New York.
5.The execution and delivery by the Company of the Note Documents to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations thereunder, and the issuance by the Company of the Notes to the Underwriters:
(i)do not and will not, based solely upon review of such agreements, result in a breach of or default under any agreement to which the Company is a party that is identified to us in a certificate of the Company as being material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, which agreements are listed on Annex B; and
(ii)do not and will not violate, or require any filing with or approval of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America under, any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America applicable to the Company that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions in the nature of those contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, except for such filings or approvals as already have been made or obtained under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
6.Insofar as the statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes” and “Description of Debt Securities” purport to describe specific provisions of the Notes or the Indenture, such statements present in all material respects an accurate summary of such provisions.
7.Insofar as the statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” purport to describe specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or legal conclusions with respect thereto, such statements present in all material respects an accurate summary of such provisions or conclusions.

For purposes of this paragraph 8, the term “investment company” has the meanings ascribed to such term in the Investment Company Act.
9.On the basis of the foregoing, and except for the financial statements and schedules, statistical information that is purported to have been provided on the authority of an expert or public official and other information of an accounting or financial nature and the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 of the Trustee included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion or belief, no facts have come to our attention that led us to believe: (a) that the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, or the Prospectus, as of the date of the Final Prospectus Supplement, were not appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; or (b)(i) that the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) that the General Disclosure Package, at the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) that the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the date hereof, included or includes 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.
