Ladies and Gentlemen:

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), proposes to sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, the principal amount of its notes identified in Schedule I hereto (the “Notes”), to be issued under an indenture dated as of November 19, 2010 as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture to be dated August 23, 2012 (collectively, the “Indenture”), each between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent there are no additional Underwriters named in Schedule II other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 20 hereof.

1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.

(a) The Company meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Act and has prepared and filed with the Commission an automatic shelf registration statement, as defined in Rule 405 (the file number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto) on Form S-3, including a related Base Prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Notes. Such Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto filed prior to the Execution Time, became effective upon filing. The Company may have filed with the Commission, as part of an amendment to the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 424(b), one or more preliminary prospectus supplements relating to the Notes, each of which has previously been furnished to you. The Company will file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement relating to the Notes in accordance with Rule 424(b). As filed, such final prospectus supplement shall contain all information required by the Act and the rules thereunder, and, except to the extent the Representatives shall agree in writing to a modification, shall be in all substantive respects in the form furnished to you prior to the Execution Time or, to the extent not completed at the Execution Time, shall contain only such specific additional information and other changes (beyond that contained in the Base Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus) as the Company has advised you, prior to the Execution Time, will be included or made therein. The Registration Statement, at the Execution Time, meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x). The initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement was not earlier than the date three years before the Execution Time.

(b) On each Effective Date, the Registration Statement did, and when the Final Prospectus is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date (as defined herein), the Final Prospectus (and any supplement thereto) will, comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder; on each Effective Date and at the Execution Time, the Registration Statement did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; on the Effective Date and on the Closing Date the Indenture did or will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the rules thereunder; and on the date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus (together with any supplement thereto) will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee or (ii) the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(c) (i) The Disclosure Package and (ii) each electronic road show, when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(d) (i) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (ii) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (iii) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c)) made any offer relating to the Notes in reliance on the exemption in Rule 163, and (iv) at the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (iv)), the Company was or is (as the case may be) a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405. The Company agrees to pay the fees required by the Commission relating to the Notes within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).

(e) (i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Notes and (ii) as of the Execution Time (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (ii)), the Company was not and is not an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Company be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

(f) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated therein by reference and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

(i) All the outstanding shares of capital stock of each “significant subsidiary” as defined pursuant to Regulation S-X have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the significant subsidiaries are owned by the Company either directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries free and clear of any perfected security interest or any other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances.

(j) There is no contract or other document required to be described in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that has not been described or filed as required.

connection with the purchase and distribution of the Notes by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated herein and in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, and (iii) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings that the failure to obtain would not individually or in the aggregate (x) have a Material Adverse Effect or (y) adversely affect in a material respect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement, or would otherwise be material in the context of the sale of the Notes.

(n) Neither the issue and sale of the Notes nor the consummation of any other of the transactions herein contemplated nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, (i) the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) the terms of any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement, loan agreement or other agreement, obligation, condition, covenant or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or bound or to which its or their property is subject, or (iii) any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) hereof, any such breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would not (1) individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or (2) adversely affect in a material respect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Indenture or this Agreement, or would otherwise be material in the context of the sale of the Notes.

as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Final Prospectus, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in use of the Final Prospectus and (iv) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(h) The Company agrees that, unless it has or shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Notes that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433, other than a free writing prospectus containing the information contained in the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto; provided that the prior

(d) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or any Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President, and the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Accounting Officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto, as well as each electronic road show used in connection with the offering of the Notes, and this Agreement and that:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date;

(i) in their opinion the audited financial statements and financial statement schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and reported on by them comply as to form with the applicable accounting requirements of the

Act and the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission;

(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest unaudited financial statements made available by the Company and its subsidiaries; their limited review, in accordance with standards established under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, of the unaudited interim financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 and as at June 30, 2012 carrying out certain specified procedures (but not an audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter; a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders, directors and the Audit, Compensation, Quality and Compliance and Nominating and Governance committees of the Company and the Subsidiaries; and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its subsidiaries as to transactions and events subsequent to December 31, 2011, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(1) any unaudited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus do not comply as to form with applicable accounting requirements of the Act and with the related rules and regulations adopted by the Commission with respect to financial statements included or incorporated by reference in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; and not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;

(2) with respect to the period subsequent to June 30, 2012, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than three days prior to the date of the letter, in the long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries or common stock of the Company or decreases in the shareholders’ equity of the Company as compared with the amounts shown on the June 30, 2012 consolidated balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, or for the period from July 1, 2012 to such specified date there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding quarter; in net sales, operating income, earnings before income taxes or in total or per share amounts of net earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries, except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in such letter, in which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the

significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Representatives; and

(iii) they have performed certain other specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature (which is limited to accounting, financial or statistical information derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries) set forth in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and in Exhibit 12 to the Registration Statement, including the information set forth under the captions “Summary – Summary Consolidated Financial Data” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, the information included or incorporated by reference in Items 1, 2, 6, 7 and 11 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, and the information included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included or incorporated by reference in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, agrees with the accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding any questions of legal interpretation.

References to the Final Prospectus in this paragraph (e) include any supplement thereto at the date of the letter.

(f) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 6 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

(g) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 shall be delivered at the office of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, on the Closing Date.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Notes provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 10 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally through the Representatives on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Notes.

8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Notes, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or

alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Notes and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Notes, (iii) the sentences related to concessions and reallowances and (iv) the paragraph related to stabilization, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in any Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses

available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Notes) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Notes purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an

Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Notes which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Notes, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Notes, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Notes, if at any time prior to such delivery and payment (i) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as contemplated by any Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and

effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. 10010-3629, Attention: LCD-IBD, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-12-01, New York, New York 10020, attention of High Grade Debt Capital Markets Transaction Management/Legal; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer, Secretary (fax no.: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇) and confirmed to it at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, attention of the Legal Department.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. No Fiduciary Duty. The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Underwriters are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Underwriters in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Re:

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This firm has acted as counsel to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance of $[ ] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ], 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $[ ] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ], 2022 (the “2022 Notes” and together with the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August [ ], 2012 (the “Indenture”) among the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and, in the case of the 2017 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture for the 2017 Notes dated as of August [ ], 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Indenture, the “2017 Notes Indenture”) and, in the case of the 2022 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture for the 2022 Notes dated as of August [ ], 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Indenture, the “2022 Notes Indenture” and, collectively with the 2017 Notes Indenture, the “Notes Indentures”), and the sale of the Notes pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated August [ ], 2012 (the “Agreement”) among the Company and you, as Representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”). This opinion letter is furnished to you pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 6(b)(i) of the Agreement in connection with the Closing thereunder on the date hereof. Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein (including in Schedule 1 attached hereto). Certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined in Schedule 1 attached hereto.

For purposes of the opinions, which are set forth in paragraphs (a) through (m) below (the “Opinions”), and other statements made in this letter, we have examined copies of the documents

listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Documents”). We believe the Documents provide an appropriate basis on which to render the opinions hereinafter expressed.

In our examination of the Agreement and the other Documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all of the Documents, the authenticity of all originals of the Documents and the conformity to authentic originals of all of the Documents submitted to us as copies (including telecopies). As to all matters of fact relevant to the Opinions and other statements made herein, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the Documents, we have not independently established the facts so relied on, and we have not made any investigation or inquiry other than our examination of the Documents. The Opinions are given, and other statements are made, in the context of the foregoing.

As used in this opinion letter, the phrase “to our knowledge” means the actual knowledge (that is, the conscious awareness of facts or other information) of (a) lawyers currently in the firm who have given substantive legal attention to representation of the Company in connection with the Agreement and (2) other lawyers currently in the firm who have given substantive legal attention to representation of the Company and with whom we have deemed it appropriate to consult.

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that (i) the Trustee has all requisite power and authority under all applicable laws, regulations and governing documents to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes Indentures, and has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce the Indenture and the Notes Indentures, against the Company, (ii) the Trustee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture and the Notes Indentures, (iii) The Trustee and the Company are validly existing and in good standing in all necessary jurisdictions (except for the Company in the State of Delaware), (iv) the Indenture and the Notes Indentures each constitute a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms, (v) there has been no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, or fraud, duress or undue influence, in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Indenture or the Notes Indentures, and the conduct of all parties to the Indenture and the Notes Indentures has complied with any requirements of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability, and (vi) there are and have been no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is and has been no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties, that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Indenture or either of the Notes Indentures. We have also assumed the validity and constitutionality of each relevant statute, rule, regulation and agency action covered by this opinion letter.

For purposes of the opinions set forth in paragraphs (k) and (m) below, we have assumed that all orders, judgments, decrees, agreements and contracts would be interpreted in accordance with their plain meaning and that the meaning of terms in such agreements and contracts would be what lawyers generally understand them to mean under Applicable State Law, notwithstanding that such agreements and contracts may be governed by the laws of a different jurisdiction.

The Opinions are based as to matters of law solely on applicable provisions of the following, as currently in effect: (i) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation Act”), (ii) as to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (c), (d), (e), and (k)(ii), subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in this opinion letter, internal New York law (“Applicable State Law”), (iii) as to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (e) and (i) the Trust Indenture Act of

1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (iv) as to the opinions expressed in paragraphs (h), (i), and (j) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (v) as to the opinions expressed in paragraph (j), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (vi) as to the opinion expressed in paragraph (l), the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (vii) as to the opinion expressed in paragraph (k)(ii), subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in this opinion letter, federal statutes and regulations (“Applicable Federal Law”).

Based upon, subject to and limited by the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions, and limitations set forth in this opinion letter, we are of the opinion that:

(a) The Company is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing as of the date of the Good Standing Certificate under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b) The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes Indentures, and to own, lease and operate its current properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus.

(c) The Notes have been duly authorized by the Company. The Notes, when executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and the applicable Notes Indenture, and the Agreement, against payment therefor in accordance with the Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the applicable Notes Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

(d) The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(e) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and the Indenture and the Notes Indentures have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

(f) The Notes, the Indenture and the Notes Indentures conform as to legal matters in all material respects to the descriptions thereof set forth in the Prospectus under the captions “Debt Securities” and “Description of the Notes.”

(g) The information in the Prospectus under the captions “Debt Securities,” “Description of the Notes” and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”, to the extent that such information constitutes matters of law or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by us and is correct in all material respects.

(h) Based solely upon our review of the information regarding the Company provided through the ▇▇▇▇▇ system on the Commission’s website, the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission. The required filings of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act have been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b).

(i) At the time the Registration Statement became effective and at the date hereof, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and supporting schedules included therein and the Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 of the Trustee, as to which we express no opinion), excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

(j) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act (other than the financial statements and schedules included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we express no opinion), at the time they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and the regulations thereunder.

(k) The execution, delivery and performance on the date hereof by the Company of the Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes Indentures and the Notes do not (i) violate the Corporation Act, or the Charter or Bylaws of the Company, (ii) violate any provision of Applicable Federal Law or any provision of Applicable State Law, or (iii) violate any of the Company Orders.

(l) The Company is not, and immediately following the issuance and sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

(m) To our knowledge, except as otherwise described in the Registration Statement, there are no persons with registration or other similar rights to have any securities registered under the Registration Statement, or to require the Company to file any other registration statement, as a result of the offer and sale of the Notes.

The opinions expressed in Paragraphs (c) and (e) above with respect to the enforceability of the Notes, the Indenture and the Notes Indentures, shall be understood to mean only that if there is a default in performance of an obligation, (i) if a failure to pay or other damage can be shown and (ii) if the defaulting party can be brought into a court which will hear the case and apply the governing law, then, subject to the availability of defenses, and to the exceptions elsewhere set forth in this opinion letter, the court will provide a money damage (or perhaps injunctive or specific performance) remedy.

In addition to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations elsewhere set forth in this opinion letter, our opinions expressed above are also subject to the effect of: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory and other law regarding fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers and preferential transfers); and (ii) the exercise of judicial discretion and the application of principles of equity, good faith, fair dealing, reasonableness, conscionability and materiality (regardless of whether the applicable agreements are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Nothing herein shall be construed to cause us to be considered “experts” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act.

We express no opinion in this letter as to any other laws and regulations not specifically identified above as being covered hereby (and in particular, we express no opinion as to any effect that such other laws and regulations may have on the opinions expressed herein). We

express no opinion in this letter as to federal or state securities laws or regulations (except to the extent stated in paragraphs (e), (i), (j) and (l)), antitrust, unfair competition, banking, or tax (except to the extent stated in paragraph (g)) laws or regulations, or laws or regulations of any political subdivision below the state level. The opinions set forth in paragraphs (c), (e), and (k) are based upon a review of only those laws and regulations (not otherwise excluded in this letter) that, in our experience, are generally recognized as applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Agreement.

We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the delivery of this opinion letter. This opinion letter has been prepared solely for your use in connection with the Closing under the Agreement on the date hereof, and should not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise be referred to, and should not be filed with or furnished to any governmental agency or other person or entity, without the prior written consent of this firm.

Very truly yours,

Re:

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This firm has acted as counsel to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance of $[ ] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ], 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $[ ] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ], 2022 (the “2022 Notes” and together with the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August [ ], 2012 among the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and, in the case of the 2017 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture for the 2017 Notes dated as of August [ ], 2012, between the Company and the Trustee, and, in the case of the 2022 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture for the 2022 Notes dated as of August [ ], 2012, between the Company and the Trustee, and the sale of the Notes pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated August [ ], 2012 (the “Agreement”) among the Company and you, as Representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”). This letter is furnished to you pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 6(b)(ii) of the Agreement in connection with the closing thereunder on the date hereof (the “Closing”).

During the course of our professional engagement, we reviewed the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-178428) (such Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”), the documents listed on Schedule A hereto (those documents listed on Schedule A, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), the base Prospectus, dated, December 9, 2011 (the “Base Prospectus”), and the final Prospectus Supplement, dated August [ ], 2012 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”), as filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (such Base Prospectus and Final Prospectus Supplement, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Prospectus”) and

participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, with representatives of the independent public accountants of the Company and with you and your representatives at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed. The purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, and we have not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of those factual matters. Accordingly, we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the statements in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus. Moreover, many of the determinations required to be made in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus involve matters of a non-legal nature.

Subject to the foregoing, we confirm to you that, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts have come to our attention that cause us to believe that:

(i)

the Registration Statement, as of the date of the Agreement and insofar as it relates to the offering of the Notes, 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)

the Prospectus, as of its date and insofar as it relates to the offering of the Notes, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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;

(iii)

the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of [ : ] [A.M./P.M.] (New York City time) on August [ ], 2012, (which you have informed us is a time prior to the time of the first sale of the Notes by any Underwriter), insofar as it relates to the offering of the Notes, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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;

(iv)

there are any legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against the Company that are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus, other than those disclosed therein; or

(v)

there are any contracts or documents of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus that are not described or referred to therein or so filed;

provided that in making the foregoing statements, we do not express any belief with respect to the financial statements and supporting schedules and other financial or accounting information and data derived from such financial statements and schedules or the books and records of the Company or assessments of or reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial

reporting contained or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package, or the Prospectus.

Nothing herein shall be construed to cause us to be considered “experts” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the delivery of this letter. This letter is being furnished by us only to you in connection with the Closing under the Agreement on the date hereof, is solely for your benefit in your capacity as Underwriter, and should not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise be used, relied upon, or referred to, for any other purpose or by any other person (including any person purchasing any of the Securities from you), and should not be filed with or furnished to any governmental agency or other person or entity, without the prior written consent of this firm.

I am the Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (the “Company”), a Delaware Corporation, and have acted as counsel in connection with the issuance of $[ ] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ], 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $[ ] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ], 2022 (the “2022 Notes” and together with the 2017 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August [ ], 2012 (the “Indenture”) among the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and, in the case of the 2017 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture for the 2017 Notes dated as of August [ ], 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Indenture, the “2017 Notes Indenture”) and, in the case of the 2022 Notes, the Supplemental Indenture for the 2022 Notes dated as of August [ ], 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Indenture, the “2022 Notes Indenture” and, collectively with the 2017 Notes Indenture, the “Notes Indentures”), and the sale of the Notes pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement dated August [ ], 2012 (the “Agreement”) among the Company and you, as Representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”). This opinion letter is furnished to you pursuant to the requirements set forth in Section 6(b)(iii) of the Agreement in connection with the Closing thereunder on the date hereof. Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, I, or lawyers under my supervision, have examined (i) an executed copy of the Agreement, (ii) the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-178428) (such registration statement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”), (iii) the Base Prospectus, dated December 9,

2011 and the Final Prospectus, dated August [ ], 2012 (together, the “Prospectus”), (iv) the Indenture and the Notes Indentures and (v) the Disclosure Package. In addition, I have examined copies of such other records and documents of the Company, copies of public documents, certificates of officers of the Company and public officials, and such other documents as I have deemed necessary and appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of the Company), the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all corporate records, documents, instruments and certificates submitted to me as originals and the conformity to authentic original corporate records, documents, instruments and certificates of all corporate records, documents instruments and certificates submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies. As to questions of fact material to my opinions, I have relied upon the factual matters contained in the representations and warranties of the Company and upon statements and/or certificates of officers of the Company.

I have further assumed that you have the power and authority and have taken the corporate action necessary to perform the services required by you in the Agreement, and that no approvals, waivers, filings, notices or consents, governmental or non-governmental, are required for the valid execution, delivery and performance by you of the Agreement, and that the Agreement constitutes your legal, valid and binding obligation.

As used in this letter, the phrase “to my knowledge” means my actual knowledge. Nothing herein shall be construed to cause me to be considered an “expert” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws and regulations of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth above and hereinafter, I am of the opinion that:

(a) The Company and each subsidiary (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and (iii) is duly qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; and the capital stock of each subsidiary owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, is owned free from liens, encumbrances and defects or any other security interest.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes Indentures by the Company (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate and, if required, stockholder action of the Company and (ii) will not violate (A) any

provision of law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States of America or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “GCL”) or of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary, (B) any order of any federal governmental agency or state governmental agency or (C) to my actual knowledge, any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is bound, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to (1) result in a Material Adverse Effect or would adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Indenture, the Notes Indentures or the Agreement, or would otherwise be material in the context of the sale of the Notes, (2) to my actual knowledge, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right to accelerate or to require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, the effect of which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or would adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Indenture, the Notes Indentures or the Agreement, or would otherwise be material in the context of the sale of the Notes or (3) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets now owned by the Company or any subsidiary.

(c) No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any court, federal governmental agency or body, or to the extent required under state law, any state governmental agency, is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreement, the Indenture or the Notes Indentures, except for (i) such as have been obtained under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and any applicable state securities or blue sky laws and (ii) such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings that have been obtained.

(d) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, to my actual knowledge, there are not any actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any federal governmental agency or state governmental agency now pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or any subsidiary that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Indenture, the Notes Indentures or the Agreement or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Notes.

I am a member of the bar of Illinois and do not express any opinion as to matters governed by any other laws other than the Federal laws of the United States of America and the GCL. This opinion is rendered only with respect to laws, and rules, regulations and orders thereunder, which are currently in effect.

I assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the delivery of this opinion letter. This opinion letter has been prepared solely for your use in connection with the closing under the Agreement on the date hereof, and should not be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise be referred to, nor be filed with or furnished to any governmental agency or other person or entity, without my prior written consent.

Sincerely,
