In rendering this opinion, our examination of matters of law has been limited to, and we express no opinion as to the law of any jurisdiction other than, the laws of the State of Maryland and the State of Georgia.

Based upon the foregoing, and such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary and appropriate to render the opinions set forth below, and subject to the limitations, assumptions and qualifications noted herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. (a) IGG is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has all requisite corporate power and authority to perform its obligations under the Second Supplemental Indenture. Based solely on the IGG Good Standing Certificate, IGG is in good standing in the State of Maryland.

(b) Imedex is a limited liability company validly existing under the laws of the State of Georgia and has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to perform its obligations under the Second Supplemental Indenture. Based solely on the Imedex Good Standing Certificate, Imedex is in good standing in the State of Georgia.

2. Each Opinion Party has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Second Supplemental Indenture, including the Guarantees set forth therein.

3. (a) The execution and delivery of the Second Supplemental Indenture by IGG, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not violate the IGG Governing Documents.

(b) The execution and delivery of the Second Supplemental Indenture by Imedex, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not violate the Imedex Governing Documents.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.2 to the Parent’s Current Report on Form 8-K being filed on the date hereof and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC.
