Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., on behalf of themselves and as the representatives of the several underwriters named on Schedule 1 thereto. The Securities are being issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of July 12, 2016 (the “Indenture”), among the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

We call your attention to the fact that we do not represent the Mississippi Guarantors on a regular basis and that we have represented the Mississippi Guarantors only in a limited capacity in connection with certain specific matters as to which we were consulted by the Mississippi Guarantors and we have not been engaged for any other purposes, and there may exist matters of a legal nature which could have a bearing on the Guarantees, the Indenture, the Underwriting Agreement, and the transactions related thereto with respect to which we have not been consulted.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed the following documents (items 1 through 5, inclusive, below are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”):

transactions contemplated thereby, as being in effect on the date of such Certificate; and

We have also examined such certificates of public officials and of representatives of the Mississippi Guarantors and other documents and records and such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions set forth below. In making such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies or which we obtained from the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system. The opinions set forth herein are limited to the law of the State of Mississippi, and we express no opinion herein as to the law of any other jurisdiction.

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

1.          Each Mississippi Guarantor is a limited liability company validly existing under the laws of the State of Mississippi. Our opinions in this Section 1 as to the valid existence are based solely upon our examination of the Certificates of Good Standing and are limited to the meaning ascribed to such certificates by the Secretary of State of Mississippi.

2.          Each Mississippi Guarantor has the limited liability company power and authority to execute and to deliver the Indenture and the Guarantee, and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3.          The execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Guarantee by each Mississippi Guarantor, and the performance by each Mississippi Guarantor of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of each such Mississippi Guarantor.

This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein. In every instance in this opinion where we have relied on a document prepared, conclusion drawn, or certification made, by another person or entity, we have made no investigation of that other person or entity for purposes of corroborating the accuracy of any information or representations provided to us by that other person or entity; however, we have no knowledge of any facts which would lead us to believe such matters to be untrue or inaccurate.

This opinion letter is made as of the date hereof and we undertake no, and hereby disclaim any, obligation to advise you of any change in any matter set forth herein, including, without limitation, any changes in Mississippi law. Insofar as the opinions herein relate to any

actions to be taken after the date of this letter, the opinions are limited to the facts as they exist and the date hereof.
