Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Pursuant to authority conferred by Section 102 of the DGCL, Article SIXTH of the Companys restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of the Companys directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted under the law of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL. Article SIXTH further provides that any future amendment to or repeal of its terms will not adversely affect any right or protection of any director of the Company with respect to acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such repeal or amendment. Article SIXTH also incorporates any future amendments to Delaware law which further eliminate or limit the liability of directors.
In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, Article SEVENTH of the Companys restated certificate of incorporation and certain provisions of the Companys amended and restated by-laws grant the Companys directors and officers a right to indemnification for all expenses relating to civil, criminal, administrative or investigative procedures to which they are a party (i) by reason of the fact that they are or were directors or officers of the Company or (ii) by reason of the fact that, while they are or were directors or officers of the Company, they are or were serving at the request of the Company as directors or officers of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. Section 5 of Article VI of the Companys amended and restated by-laws further provides for advancement of expenses to such indemnified persons.
The Companys amended and restated by-laws authorize the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such persons status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the Companys amended and restated by-laws. The Company has obtained insurance policies insuring its directors and officers against certain liabilities.
The Company has entered into Indemnification Agreements (the Indemnification Agreements) with its directors and executive officers. One of the purposes of the Indemnification Agreements is to attempt to specify the extent to which persons entitled to indemnification thereunder (the Indemnitees) may receive indemnification. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreements, an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for claims arising out of or in connection with the service of Indemnitee as a director or officer of the Company or of an affiliate. In the case of an action or proceeding other than an action by or in the right of the Company or CHS, the Indemnification Agreements provide that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for claims relating to (i) the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of the Company or any other entity which Indemnitee is or was or will be serving at the request of the Company or CHS, or (ii) anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity. In the case of an action by or in the right of the
II-1
Company or CHS, the Indemnification Agreements provide that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification for claims relating to (i) the fact that Indemnitee is or was an officer or director of the Company or any affiliate or (ii) anything done or not done in such capacity. The Indemnification Agreements are in addition to and are not intended to limit any rights of indemnification which are available under the Companys restated certificate of incorporation or the Companys amended and restated bylaws, or otherwise. In addition to the rights to indemnification specified therein, the Indemnification Agreements are intended to increase the certainty of receipt by the Indemnitee of the benefits to which he or she is entitled by providing specific procedures relating to indemnification.
The following is a summary of the statutes, charter and bylaw provisions or other arrangements under which the registrants directors and officers are indemnified against liability in their capacities as such.
Alabama Registrants
Anniston HMA, LLC, Foley Hospital Corporation, and QHG of Enterprise, Inc. are all incorporated or organized under the laws of the State of Alabama.
Section 10A-5A-4.10 of the Alabama Limited Liability Company Law of 2014 permits a limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless a member or other person, pay in advance or reimburse expenses incurred by a member or other person, and purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a member or other person. In addition, Section 10A-1-6.02 of the Alabama Business and Nonprofit Entities Code generally exempts limited liability companies from mandatory or court-ordered indemnification, unless the limited liability company agreement adopts the provisions of Article 6 of Chapter 1 of the Alabama Business and Nonprofit Entities Code.
Section 10A-2-8.51 and Section 10A-2-8.56 of the Alabama Business Corporation Law allows corporations to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (i) the individual conducted himself or herself in good faith; (ii) the individual reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in its best interests and in all other cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent if, in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, the individual was adjudged liable to the corporation or, in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit, the individual was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her.
Section 10A-2-8.52 and Section 10A-2-8.56 of the Alabama Business Corporation Law requires corporations to indemnify a director or officer who was successful in the defense of any proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding, where he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.
The Operating Agreement (now referred to as a limited liability company agreement under the Alabama Limited Liability Company Law of 2014 for all limited liability companies after January 1, 2017) of Anniston HMA, LLC provides for the indemnification of any officer or director of the company against liability incurred in connection with any and all claims and demands arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company, provided the director or officer acted in good faith with the care an officer of an Alabama corporation would exercise under similar circumstances, in a manner reasonably believed by them to be in the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The Articles of Incorporation of Foley Hospital Corporation provide for the indemnification of directors and officers, as well as agents and employees if authorized by the Board of Directors, to the fullest extent permitted by the Alabama Business Corporation Law.
The Bylaws of QHG of Enterprise, Inc. provide for the indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state in which indemnification is sought.
Arizona Registrants
Bullhead City Hospital Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona.
Section 10-851 of the Arizona Business Corporations Act (ABCA) permits a corporation to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if all of the following conditions exist: (a) the individuals conduct was in good faith; (b) the individual reasonably believed in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in its best interests and in all other cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceedings, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Section 10-851 also permits a corporation to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the director engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation pursuant to section 10-202, subsection B, paragraph 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The termination of a proceeding by
II-2
judgment, order, settlement or conviction or on a plea of no contest or its equivalent is not of itself determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this section. Under Arizona Revised Statutes, a corporation may not indemnify a director under this section either: (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (b) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper financial benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the directors official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that financial benefit was improperly received by the director. Indemnification permitted under this section in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Under Section 10-856 of the ABCA, a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was an officer of the corporation: (1) to the same extent as a director and (2) if the individual is an officer but not a director, or if the officer is also a director, but the basis on which the officer is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer, to the further extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors, or a contract, except for (a) liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation other than for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and (b) liability arising out of conduct that constitutes (i) receipt of a financial benefit to which the officer is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders, or (iii) an intentional violation of criminal law.
Under the ABCA, in order for a corporation to indemnify a director or officer, except in a case where such indemnification is mandatory or upon a court order as described below, a majority of the corporations disinterested directors, special legal counsel, or the disinterested shareholders must find that the individual met the applicable standard of conduct. Indemnification under the ABCA is permissive, except in the event of a successful defense, in which case a director or officer must be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding unless such indemnification is limited by the articles of incorporation. In addition, the ABCA requires Arizona corporations to indemnify any outside director (a director who is not an officer, employee or holder of more than five percent of any class of the corporations stock or the stock of any affiliate of the corporation) against liability unless (i) the corporations articles of incorporation limit such indemnification, (ii) the director is adjudged liable in a proceeding for which indemnification is not allowed as described in the first paragraph above, or (iii) a court determines, before payment to the outside director, that the director failed to meet the applicable standard of conduct as described in the first paragraph above. With certain limitations, a court may also order that an individual be indemnified if the court finds that the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances, whether or not the individual has met the applicable standard of conduct or was adjudged liable as described in the first paragraph above.
The Bylaws of Bullhead City Hospital Corporation provide for the indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Arizona Revised Statutes.

Under Sections 86.411 through 86.441 of Nevadas Limited Liability Company Act, a limited liability company may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the company, by reason of the fact that he is or was a manager, member, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a manager, member, employee or agent of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the limited liability company, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
A Nevada limited liability company may also indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a manager, member, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a manager, member, employee or agent of another Nevada limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company. Indemnification may not, however, be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the company or for amounts paid in settlement to the company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
To the extent that a manager, member, employee or agent of a Nevada limited liability company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the company must indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.
Any other indemnification (for example if a manager, member, employee or agent of a Nevada limited liability company has been successful on the merits) unless authorized by a court or as part of an advancement of expenses provided by agreement, may be made only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances.
The company may also provide that the expenses of members and managers incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the manager or member to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the member or manager is not entitled to be indemnified by the company.
Indemnification or advancement of expenses authorized by a court does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, except that indemnification (unless ordered by a court or for advancement of expenses) may not be made to or on behalf of any member or manager if a final adjudication establishes that the members or the managers acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.

Item 17. Undertakings
Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
II-19
(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the relevant trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

Other than our review of the Reviewed Documents, we have not reviewed any document referred to in any of the Reviewed Documents or made any inquiry or other investigation as to any factual matter (including, but not limited to, (a) any review of any of the files and other records of the Parent, CHS, any of the Guarantors, any affiliate of the Parent, CHS or any of the Guarantors or any court or other governmental authority, (b) any review of any of our files and other records, (c) any inquiry of or other communication with any director, officer, member, manager, general partner, limited partner, employee or other agent of the Parent, CHS, any of the Guarantors or any affiliate of the Parent, CHS or any of the Guarantors or (d) any inquiry of any past or present attorney of ours).
2. We do not express any opinion concerning any law other than New York Law.
3. We have assumed without any inquiry or other investigation, (a) the legal capacity of each natural person, (b) the genuineness of each signature on any of the Reviewed Documents, the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of each of the Reviewed Documents and the conformity of each of the Reviewed Documents to the copy or form thereof submitted to us, (c) the accuracy on the date of this letter as well as on the date made of each statement as to any factual matter contained in any of the Reviewed Documents and (d) there not existing outside of the Reviewed Documents and New York Law anything that would render incorrect any opinion set forth in this letter.
4. This letter is given without regard to any change after the date of this letter with respect to any factual or legal matter, and we disclaim any obligation to notify you concerning any such change or any effect of any such change on any opinion set forth in this letter.

The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the laws of the State of Tennessee, and no opinion is expressed with respect to (i) any federal laws of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction, or any effect which such laws may have on the opinions expressed herein, (ii) the bylaws, rules or regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or (iii) the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. We are not rendering any opinion, and we are not providing any assurance, as to compliance with any antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.
We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of any such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Parent, CHS or the Delaware/Tennessee Subsidiary Guarantors.
With regard to our opinion in paragraph 1 below with respect to the Parents, CHSs and the Delaware/Tennessee Subsidiary Guarantors existence, we have based our opinions solely upon examination of the certificates of good standing issued by the Delaware Secretary of State and the Tennessee Secretary of State as of a recent date.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Each of the Parent, CHS and the Delaware/Tennessee Subsidiary Guarantors is validly existing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, as applicable.
2. The Parent has the requisite corporate power under the laws of the State of Delaware to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Parent Indentures and to issue the Parent Debt Securities.
3. CHS has the requisite corporate power under the laws of the State of Delaware to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the CHS Indentures and to issue the CHS Debt Securities.
4. CHS has the requisite corporate power to guarantee the Parent Debt Securities pursuant to the terms of the Parent Indentures and to perform its obligations under the Parent Debt Securities Guarantees.
5. The Parent has the requisite corporate power to guarantee the CHS Debt Securities pursuant to the terms of the CHS Indentures and to perform its obligations under the CHS Debt Securities Guarantees.

The opinions set forth in paragraphs 11 and 12 above are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, (iii) the effect of public policy considerations that may limit the rights of the parties to obtain further remedies, (iv) we express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of provisions relating to choice of law, choice of venue, jurisdiction or waivers of jury trial, and (v) we express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any waiver of any usury defense.

Community Health Systems, Inc. CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. 4000 Meridian Boulevard Franklin, Tennessee 37067 | ||
Re: | Debt Guarantees (as defined below) of Florida Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) issued pursuant to Indentures (defined below) filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement (as defined below) |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special limited counsel in the State of Florida to the entities listed on Schedule I (collectively, the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors), in connection with the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors proposed guarantees (the Debt Guarantees) of debt securities (collectively, the Debt Securities) to be issued from time to time by Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent), or CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (CHS/CHS and, together with Parent, the Issuers), pursuant to forms of senior and subordinated notes indentures (collectively, the Indentures) that were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) as exhibits to Issuers registration statement on Form S-3 dated May 6, 2015, as amended by that Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 dated March 3, 2017 (as amended, the Registration Statement). Our engagement for this purpose has been limited in scope solely to our review of the Transaction Documents and Organizational Documents (both as defined below) provided to us, and solely for the purpose of rendering the opinions expressed herein. We have not participated in any other matters related to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby other than this.
In connection with our representation, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries as are pertinent or necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions herein expressed. We have examined and are familiar with the original or copies, certified or otherwise, identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, records and other instruments as are necessary for the furnishing of this letter.
In rendering our opinions herein, we have relied with respect to factual matters, upon the Officers Certificate (defined below), and certificates of public officials referred to below. In addition thereto, we have reviewed and relied upon such records, documents, certificates and other instruments, originals or copies, certified or otherwise, as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to form the basis for rendering our opinions, including, without limitation, the following:

(ii) | the certificate with respect to various factual matters signed by an officer of each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors and dated the date of this opinion (the Officers Certificate); |
(iii) | Certificate of Status of each Florida Subsidiary Guarantor issued by the Florida Secretary of State dated as of the date as shown on Schedule I (collectively, the Certificates of Status, and individually with respect to a Florida Subsidiary Guarantor, the Certificate of Status); |
(iv) | Action by Written Consent in Lieu of a Meeting of the Governing Boards (Boards of Directors, Boards of Managers, Managing Members, Sole Members, and General Partners, as applicable) of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors (among others), dated March 1, 2017 (the Resolutions); |

(vi) | the Registration Statement. |
The documents described in Paragraphs (i) through (iv) above are sometimes collectively hereinafter referred to as the Organizational Documents. The documents described in Paragraphs (v) and (vi) above are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Transaction Documents. The Organizational Documents and the Transaction Documents shall collectively be referred to as the Opinion Documents.
We have also reviewed such other documents, instruments and certificates as we have deemed relevant or necessary to form the basis for the opinions set forth in this opinion letter.
For the purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, without independent verification or investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures of, and the authority of, persons signing the Opinion Documents, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or copies, (iv) the Transaction Documents accurately reflect the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated thereby and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, (v) all documents which are intended to be recorded or filed have, in fact, been or will be properly recorded or filed, and unless expressly stated otherwise, the opinions expressed herein assume such recording and filing, (vi) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the parties thereto other than the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors, and (vii) the due execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors.
March 3, 2017

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations hereinabove and hereinafter stated, it is our opinion that:
1. Each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors is a validly existing limited liability company or limited partnership, as the case may be, organized and based on the Certificates of Status, in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida.
2. Each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors has the requisite limited liability company or limited partnership power, as the case may be, to guarantee the Debt Securities pursuant to the terms of the Indentures and to perform its obligations under the Debt Guarantees.
3. The Debt Guarantees, upon being duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or limited partnership action, as the case may be, executed by an authorized signatory and delivered, will be validly authorized, executed, and delivered for limited liability company or limited partnership law purposes, as applicable, by each Florida Subsidiary Guarantor.
No opinion is given or expressed, nor should any opinion be inferred or implied, as to the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of any representation, warranty, certification or statement by any of the parties to the Opinion Documents or any document or item referred to or described in the Opinion Documents.
This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly stated herein. No opinions are to be inferred or implied beyond the opinions expressly so stated.
No opinion is expressed herein with respect to any provision of the Transaction Documents that: (a) purports to excuse a party from liability for the partys own acts; (b) purports to make void any act done in contravention thereof; (c) purports to authorize a party to act in the partys sole discretion or purports to provide that determination by a party is conclusive; (d) requires waivers or amendments to be made only in writing; (e) purports to effect waivers of: (i) constitutional, statutory or equitable rights, (ii) the effect of applicable laws, (iii) any statute of limitations, (iv) broadly or vaguely stated rights, (v) unknown future defenses, or (vi) rights to damages; (f) imposes or permits: (i) liquidated damages, (ii) the appointment of a receiver, (iii) penalties, (iv) indemnification for gross negligence, willful misconduct or other wrongdoing, (v) confessions of judgment, or (vi) rights of self-help or forfeiture; (g) purports to limit or alter laws requiring mitigation of damages; (h) concerns choice of forum, consent or submission to the personal or subject matter jurisdiction of courts, venue of actions, means of service of process, waivers of rights to jury trials, and agreements regarding arbitration; (i) purports to reconstitute the terms thereof as necessary to avoid a claim or defense of usury; (j)
March 3, 2017
Page - 4 -
purports to require a party thereto to pay or reimburse attorneys fees incurred by another party, or to indemnify another party therefor, which provisions may be limited by applicable statutes and decisions relating to the collection and award of attorneys fees; (k) relates to the evidentiary standards or other standards by which the Opinion Documents are to be construed, including, but not limited to, provisions that attempt to change or waive rules of evidence or fix the method or quantum of proof to be applied in litigation or similar proceedings; (l) prohibits or unreasonably restricts: (i) competition, (ii) the solicitation or acceptance of customers, business relationships or employees, (iii) the use or disclosure of information, or (iv) activities in restraint of trade; (m) enumerates that remedies are not exclusive or that a party has the right to pursue multiple remedies without regard to other remedies elected or that all remedies are cumulative; (n) constitutes severability provisions; (o) permits the exercise, under certain circumstances, of rights without notice or without providing opportunity to cure failures to perform; (p) purports to create rights to setoff otherwise than in accordance with applicable law; (q) contains a blanket prohibition on assignments or a specific prohibition on assignment of payments due or to come due; or (r) purports to entitle any party to specific performance of any provision thereof.
As used herein, applicable laws shall mean those provisions of statutory law or regulation which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents without our having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law or regulation and which are not subject of a specific opinion herein referring expressly to a particular law or laws.
Our opinions are further subject to the following qualifications and limitations: (i) provisions in the Transaction Documents which provide that any obligations of any Florida Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder will not be affected by the action or failure to act on the part of any other party thereto or by an amendment or waiver of the provisions contained in the other Transaction Documents might not be enforceable under circumstances in which such action, failure to act, amendment or waiver so materially changes the essential terms of the obligations that, in effect, a new contract has arisen between the parties; (ii) our opinions do not relate to any documents or instruments other than the Opinion Documents, and we express no opinion as to such other documents or instruments (including, without limitation, any documents or instruments referenced or incorporated in any of the Transaction Documents) or as to the interplay between the Opinion Documents and any such other documents and instruments; and (iii) we express no opinion as to any security interest created or purported to be created under the Transaction Documents.
Where our opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on or to our knowledge, it is intended to signify that during the course of our representation as special counsel to the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors, no information has come to our attention which would give us actual knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts. When a matter is stated herein to be to our knowledge it means the actual present knowledge of those persons in our firm who have given substantive attention to the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and does not include constructive knowledge of
March 3, 2017
Page - 5 -
matters or information. We have made no independent examination of factual matters set forth in the Officers Certificate or of any representation made under the Transaction Documents for the purpose of rendering this opinion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have not undertaken any independent investigation, examination or inquiry to determine the existence or absence of any facts (and have not caused the review of any court file or indices) and no inference as to our knowledge concerning any facts should be drawn as a result of the representation undertaken by us.
Such phrase does not imply that we have undertaken any independent investigation within our firm, with the Florida Subsidiary Grantors or with any third party to determine the existence or absence of any facts or circumstances, and no inference should be drawn merely from our past or current representation of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors.
This firm takes no responsibility for updating our opinion to take into account any event, action, interpretation, change of law or similar item after the date hereof.
We are licensed to practice law in the State of Florida, and we have not examined the laws of any other jurisdiction in connection with this opinion letter. Accordingly, the foregoing opinions apply only with respect to the present laws of the State of Florida, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We do not express any opinion as to any parties to the Transaction Documents other than the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors.
This opinion is rendered pursuant to your request in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and speaks only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility or obligation to update this opinion or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware.
This opinion letter has been prepared and is to be construed in accordance with the Report on Third-Party Legal Opinion Customary Practice in Florida dated December 3, 2011 issued by the Legal Opinions Standard Committee of The Florida Bar Business Law Section and the Legal Opinions Committee of The Florida Bar Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section Business Law Section and the Legal Opinion Principles issued by the Committee on Legal Opinions of the American Bar Associations Section of Business Law as published in 57 Bus.

Such right of indemnity shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such Director or officer may be entitled under any statute, article of incorporation, rule of law, other bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise. Nor shall anything herein contained restrict the right of the Bank to indemnify or reimburse any officer or Director in any proper case even though not specifically provided for herein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Bank shall not make or agree to make any indemnification payment to a Director or officer or any other institution affiliated party (as such term is defined in 12 CFR §359.1) with respect to (i) any civil money penalty or judgment resulting from any administrative or civil action instituted by any federal banking agency, except in full compliance with 12 CFR Part 359, (ii) any assessment, order of restitution, penalty, or similar liability imposed under authority of the Alabama Banking Code, or (iii) any liability for violation of Section 10A-2-8.33 of the Corporation Law.
In advance of final disposition, the Bank may, but is not required to, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a person who may become eligible for indemnification under this Article V, provided the conditions set forth in Section 10A-2-8.53 of the Corporation Law (and, if applicable, 12 CFR § 359.5) shall have been satisfied.

Page 9 of 11
the Alabama Banking Code. Such insurance coverage may be used to pay any legal or professional expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding or action or the amount of any restitution to the Bank. Any insurance coverage of legal or professional expenses will be coordinated with the Banks determination whether to advance expenses in advance of final disposition, taking into account the terms and conditions of the coverage and the requirements of Section 10A-2-8.53 of the Corporation Law.

Page 9 of 11
the Alabama Banking Code.

The seal may also include appropriate descriptors, such as the words: An Alabama Banking Corporation. The Secretary of the Bank shall have custody of the seal and is authorized to affix the same to instruments, documents, and papers as required by law or as customary or appropriate in the Secretarys judgment and discretion.

In this regard, the Secretary is further authorized to establish, implement, interpret, and enforce policies and procedures governing the use of the seal and the authorization by the Secretary of officers and employees of the Bank to have custody of and to use the seal. Such policies and procedures may include (i) the right of the Secretary to appoint any Bank employee as an Assistant Secretary of the Bank, if such appointment would, in the Secretarys judgment, be convenient with respect to such employees custody and use of a seal and/or (ii) the right of the Secretary to authorize Bank employees to have and use seals as delegates of the Secretary without appointing such employees as Assistant Secretaries of the Bank.

personal property or securities standing in the name of or held by the Bank, whether in its own right or in any fiduciary capacity, and to make or join in such consents, requests or commitments with respect to the same as may be appropriate or authorized as to the holder thereof, and to sign such other papers and do such other acts as are necessary in the performance of his or her duties. The authority conveyed to any employee designated by the Board of Directors may be limited by general or specific resolution of the Board of Directors.
Section 10. Notice and Waiver of Notice.
Whenever any notice whatever is required to be given under the provisions of any law or under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Bank or these By-Laws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of business at the meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 11. Right of Indemnity.
To the full extent provided for and in accordance with the Alabama Business Corporation Law, and specifically Section l0A-2-8.50 et seq. of the Code of Alabama (1975), or any statute amendatory or supplemental thereof (the Corporation Law), the Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless each Director or officer now or hereafter serving the Bank against any loss and reasonable expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any claim, or any action, suit or proceeding against him or her or in which he or she is made a party, by reason of his or her being or having been a Director or officer of the Bank, or who, while a Director or officer of the Bank, is or was serving as at the Banks request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise. Such right of indemnity shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such Director or officer may be entitled under any statute, article of incorporation, rule of law, other bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise. Nor shall anything herein contained restrict the right of the Bank to indemnify or reimburse any officer or Director in any proper case even though not specifically provided for herein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Bank shall not make or agree to make any indemnification payment to a Director or officer or any other institution affiliated party (as such term is defined in 12 CFR §359.1) with respect to (i) any civil money penalty or judgment resulting from any administrative or civil action instituted by any federal banking agency, except in full compliance with 12 CFR Part 359, (ii) any assessment, order of restitution, penalty, or similar liability imposed under authority of the Alabama Banking Code, or (iii) any liability for violation of Section 10A-2-8.33 of the Corporation Law.
In advance of final disposition, the Bank may, but is not required to, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a person who may become eligible for indemnification under this Article V, provided the conditions set forth in Section l0A-2-8.53 of the Corporation Law (and, if applicable, 12 CFR § 359.5) shall have been satisfied.
The Bank may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of said Directors or officers against liability asserted against or incurred by a Director or officer acting in such capacity as described in these By-Laws. Such insurance coverage shall not be used to pay or reimburse a person for the cost of (i) any judgment or civil money penalty assessed against such person in an administrative proceeding or civil action commenced by any federal banking agency or (ii) any assessment or penalty imposed under authority of
Page 9 of 11
the Alabama Banking Code. Such insurance coverage may be used to pay any legal or professional expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding or action or the amount of any restitution to the Bank. Any insurance coverage of legal or professional expenses will be coordinated with the Banks determination whether to advance expenses in advance of final disposition, taking into account the terms and conditions of the coverage and the requirements of Section 10A-2-8.53 of the Corporation Law.
Section 12. Execution of Instruments and Documents.
The Chief Executive Officer; the President; any Regional or Local President; any Senior Executive Vice President, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, or Vice President; or any officer holding the title of Executive Managing Director, Managing Director, or Director is authorized, in his or her discretion, to do and perform any and all corporate and official acts in carrying on the business of the Bank, including, but not limited to, the authority to make, execute, acknowledge, accept and deliver any and all deeds, mortgages, releases, bills of sale, assignments, transfers, leases (as lessor or lessee), powers of attorney or of substitution, servicing or sub-servicing agreements, vendor agreements, proxies to vote stock or any other instrument in writing that may be necessary in the purchase, sale, lease, assignment, transfer, discount, management or handling in any way of any property of any description held, controlled or used by Bank or to be held, controlled or used by Bank, either in its own or in its fiduciary capacity and including the authority from time to time to open bank accounts with the Bank or any other institution, to borrow money in such amounts for such lengths of time, at such rates of interest and upon such terms and conditions as any said officer may deem proper and to evidence the indebtedness thereby created by executing and delivering in the name of the Bank promissory notes or other appropriate evidences of indebtedness, and to guarantee the obligations of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank. The enumeration herein of particular powers shall not restrict in any way the general powers and authority of said officers.
By way of example and not limitation, such officers of the Bank are authorized to execute, accept, deliver and issue, on behalf of the Bank and as binding obligations of the Bank, such agreements and instruments as may be within the officers area of responsibility, including, as applicable, agreements and related documents (such as schedules, confirmations, transfers, assignments, acknowledgments, and other documents) relating to derivative transactions, loan or letter of credit transactions, syndications, participations, trades, purchase and sale or discount transactions, transfers and assignments, servicing and sub-servicing agreements, vendor agreements, securitizations, and transactions of whatever kind or description arising in the conduct of the Banks business.
The authority to execute and deliver documents, instruments and agreements may be limited by resolution of the Board of Directors, by a committee of the Board of Directors, by the Chief Executive Officer, or by the President, by reference to subject matter, category, amount, geographical location, or any other criteria, and may be made subject to such policies, procedures and levels of approval as may be adopted or amended from time to time.
Section 13. Voting Banks Securities.
Unless otherwise ordered by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Executive Vice President or Executive Managing Director or above, the Controller, the Banks General Counsel, and any other officer as may be designated by the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Bank to attend, and to act and to vote, and to execute a proxy or proxies empowering others to attend, and to act and to vote, at any meetings of security holders of any of the corporations in which the Bank may hold securities and, at such meetings, such officer shall possess and may exercise any and all rights and powers incident to the ownership of such securities which, as the owner thereof, the Bank might have possessed and exercised, if present.
Page 10 of 11
Section 14. Bonds of Officers and Employees.
The Board of Directors shall from time to time designate the officers and employees who shall be required to give bond and fix the amounts thereof.
Section 15. Satisfaction of Loans.
On payment of sums lent, for which security shall have been taken either by way of mortgage or other lien on real or personal property or by the pledge of collateral, whether said loans have been made from funds of the Bank or from funds held in fiduciary capacity, any officer of the Bank shall have the power and authority to enter the fact of payment or satisfaction on the margin of the record of any such security or in any other legal manner to cancel such indebtedness and to release said security, and the Chief Executive Officer or the President or any Regional or Local President or any vice president or director of the Bank shall have power and authority to execute a power of attorney authorizing the cancellation, release or satisfaction of any mortgage or other security given to the Bank in its corporate or fiduciary capacity, by such person as he or she may in his or her discretion appoint.
Section 16. Emergencies.
In the event of an emergency declared by the President of the United States or the person performing his or her functions, the officers and employees of this Bank will continue to conduct the affairs of the Bank under such guidance from the Directors as may be available except as to matters which by statute require specific approval of the Board of Directors and subject to conformance with any governmental directives or directives of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation during the emergency.

Such right of indemnity shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such Director or officer may be entitled under any statute, article of incorporation, rule of law, other bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise. Nor shall anything herein contained restrict the right of the Bank to indemnify or reimburse any officer or Director in any proper case even though not specifically provided for herein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Bank shall not make or agree to make any indemnification payment to a Director or officer or any other institution affiliated party (as such term is defined in 12 CFR §359.1) with respect to (i) any civil money penalty or judgment resulting from any administrative or civil action instituted by any federal banking agency, except in full compliance with 12 CFR Part 359, (ii) any assessment, order of restitution, penalty, or similar liability imposed under authority of the Alabama Banking Code, or (iii) any liability for violation of Section 10A-2-8.33 of the Corporation Law.
In advance of final disposition, the Bank may, but is not required to, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a person who may become eligible for indemnification under this Article V, provided the conditions set forth in Section 10A-2-8.53 of the Corporation Law (and, if applicable, 12 CFR § 359.5) shall have been satisfied.

Page 9 of 11
the Alabama Banking Code. Such insurance coverage may be used to pay any legal or professional expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding or action or the amount of any restitution to the Bank.

The authority to execute and deliver documents, instruments and agreements may be limited by resolution of the Board of Directors, by a committee of the Board of Directors, by the Chief Executive Officer, or by the President, by reference to subject matter, category, amount, geographical location, or any other criteria, and may be made subject to such policies, procedures and levels of approval as may be adopted or amended from time to time.
