The Certificates described in clauses (r) and (u) above are referred to collectively as the “Certificates”. The documents described in clauses (b) - (p) and (s) above are referred to collectively as the “Organizational Documents”.

In our examination of the documents described above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individual signatories, the completeness of all Massachusetts Guarantors’ limited liability company and trust records provided to us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We have also relied upon and assumed the accuracy of all information, representations and warranties made by the persons signing the Certificates and upon certificates of public officials with respect to the factual determinations underlying the legal conclusions set forth herein. We have not attempted to verify independently such representations and statements. Without limiting the foregoing, we have not conducted a search of any electronic databases, or the dockets of any court, administrative or other regulatory agency.

The opinions expressed in paragraph 1 below are based solely on the certificates referred to in clauses (v) and (w) above and are limited accordingly, and, as to such matters, our opinions are rendered as of the respective dates of such certificates. We express no opinion as to the tax good standing of any Massachusetts Guarantor in any jurisdiction.

We are opining herein solely as to the state laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. To the extent that the laws of any other jurisdiction govern the matters as to which we are opining herein, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that such laws are identical to the state laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and we express no opinion as to whether such assumption is reasonable or correct. For purposes of our opinions expressed below, we have assumed that the facts and law governing the future performance of the Massachusetts Guarantors of their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents will be identical to the facts and law governing their performance on the date of this opinion.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of Oakhurst, Sunset, West Bay, Orchard Ridge and Bay Tree is a limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. HHC is a voluntary association with transferable shares, validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Massachusetts Guarantors have been duly authorized by all requisite limited liability company or association action on behalf of the Massachusetts Guarantors, and the Third Supplemental Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Massachusetts Guarantors.

3. The execution and delivery by the Massachusetts Guarantors of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by the Massachusetts Guarantors of the transactions contemplated thereby do not violate the provisions of the applicable Massachusetts Guarantor’s Organizational Documents.

Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to other matters. This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions and is rendered as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of the foregoing sources of law or subsequent developments in law or changes in facts and circumstances which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed on or about January 23, 2014 in accordance with the requirements of Rule 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and to the use of our name therein and in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.
