(i) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Partnership Entities’ 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.

(k) The Representative shall have received from the Partnership Parties such additional documents and certificates as the Representative or counsel for the Underwriters 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 Representative and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ L.L.P., this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representative. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Partnership 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, counsel for the Underwriters, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ L.L.P., ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, on the Closing Date and any settlement date pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

7. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If the sale of the Units 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 9 or Section 10(i) hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Partnership Parties to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Partnership Parties will reimburse the Underwriters severally through ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC on demand for all 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 Units.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Partnership Parties jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates 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 for the registration of the Units as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Base Prospectus any Preliminary Prospectus or any other preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the

Units, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus 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 Partnership Parties 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 Partnership by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Partnership Parties may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership Parties, each of the General Partner’s directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Partnership Parties within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Partnership Parties to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Partnership by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representative 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 Partnership Parties acknowledge that the statements set forth (i) in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Units and, under the heading “Underwriting”, (ii) the list of Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Units, (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, the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and 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 and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(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 Partnership Parties 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 Partnership Parties and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Units; 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 Units) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Units purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Partnership Parties 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 Partnership Parties 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 Partnership Parties shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses and applicable structuring and advisory fees) received by the Partnership, 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 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 Partnership Parties 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 Partnership Parties 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(d), 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 Partnership within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Partnership who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Partnership shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership Parties, 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 Units 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 amount of Units set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Units set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Units which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Units that the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Units set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Units, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Units, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Partnership. 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 Representative shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the 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 Partnership 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 Representative, by notice given to the Partnership prior to delivery of and payment for the Units, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in the Partnership’s Common Units shall have been suspended by the Commission or the NYSE or trading in securities generally on the NYSE 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, (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 Representative, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Units as contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) or (iv) there has occurred any material adverse effect in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the completion of the offering or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Units.

11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Partnership Parties or any of their 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 Partnership Parties or any of the officers, directors, managers, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Units. The provisions of Section 7 and Section 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 Representative, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: Equity Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department; or, if sent to the Partnership Parties, will be mailed, delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, with a copy by email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

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, affiliates, 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. Each of the Partnership Parties hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Units pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Partnership Parties 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 Partnership Parties and (c) the 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, each of the Partnership Parties agree that it is solely responsible for making their own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Partnership Parties on related or other matters). Each of the Partnership Parties agree 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 any of the Partnership Parties in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

15. Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Partnership Parties and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

16. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York.

(p) such other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of the opinions hereinafter expressed.

Except as otherwise stated herein, as to factual matters, we have, with your consent, relied upon the foregoing and upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the General Partner and the Partnership and others, including the representations and warranties of Partnership Parties in the Underwriting Agreement. We have not independently verified such factual matters.

Whenever a statement herein is qualified as to knowledge, awareness, or a similar phrase, it is intended to indicate that those attorneys in the firm who have devoted substantial time to the representation of the Partnership Parties in connection with the Underwriting Agreement and the offering contemplated thereby, after consultation with other attorneys in the firm who have represented the Partnership Parties on other substantive matters, do not have current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement. However, except as otherwise expressly indicated, we have not undertaken any independent inquiry to determine the accuracy of any such statement.

We are counsel admitted to practice law in the States of Texas and New York, and this opinion is limited to the effect on the subject transaction only of the federal laws of the United States, the internal laws of the State of Texas and New York and in numbered paragraphs 1, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this letter, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware LLC Act”), and in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 10 and 15 of this letter, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Delaware LP Act”), and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Except as otherwise stated herein, our opinions are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to registered public offerings of common units. The enforceability of certain governing documents of the Partnership Entities under the laws of the State of Delaware is addressed in the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Finger, P.A. Certain disclosure matters are addressed in the opinion of the Partnership’s general counsel. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, as of the date hereof:

1. The Partnership is a limited partnership duly formed under the Delaware LP Act. Each of the General Partner and the Operating Company is a limited liability company duly formed under the Delaware LLC Act. Each of THPPLLC, Tesoro Pipelines and Tesoro Northwest is a limited liability company under the Delaware LLC Act. Each of the Partnership Entities has the entity power and authority necessary to own or license its properties and to conduct its business, and in the case of the General Partner, to act as the general partner of the Partnership, in all material respects as described in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus. With your consent, based solely on certificates from public officials, we confirm that each of the Partnership Entities is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own, but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects.

With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed that (i) all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, (ii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, and (iii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform with the original copies of those documents.

force and effect, have not been amended and no amendment of such documents is pending or has been proposed, (iii) that the Operating Company LLC Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, and that the Operating Company LLC Agreement and the Operating Company Certificate are in full force and effect, have not been amended and no amendment of such documents is pending or has been proposed, (iv) that the Contribution Agreement has become effective and the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement have been consummated as set forth therein, (v) the due organization or due formation, as the case may be, and valid existence in good standing of each party to the documents examined by us under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its organization or formation, including the Partnership as a limited partnership and the General Partner and the Operating Company as limited liability companies, respectively, under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the legal capacity of natural persons who are signatories to the documents examined by us, (vi) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such documents, (vii) the due authorization, execution and delivery by all parties thereto of the documents examined by us, including a counterpart of (a) the Partnership Agreement by the General Partner and (b) the GP Agreement by the Members, (viii) except to the extent provided in paragraphs 1 through 3 below, that each of the Agreements constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto, and is enforceable against the parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, (ix)that TRMC has executed and delivered to the General Partner and Tesoro an instrument containing TRMC’s notice address, (x) that Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company has converted to Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC, (xi) that each Person that has purchased a Unit on the date hereof pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Underwriting Agreement has paid the full consideration due from it for the Units acquired by it and has been admitted as a limited partner of the Partnership (in such capacity, each a “Limited Partner” and collectively, the “Limited Partners”), and (xii) that the Units were issued and sold in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and such transaction has been registered on the books and records of the Partnership. We have not participated in the preparation of any offering material relating to the Partnership or the General Partner and assume no responsibility for the contents of any such material.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the securities laws and blue sky laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder that are currently in effect. In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we express no opinion concerning (i) the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance, or (ii) the nature or validity of title to any property.

Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Partnership Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the General Partner, and is enforceable against the General Partner, in its capacity as general partner of the Partnership, in accordance with its terms.

B-2-3

2. The GP Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Members, and is enforceable against the Members, in their capacity as members of the General Partner, in accordance with its terms.

3. The Operating Company LLC Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Partnership, and is enforceable against the Partnership, in its capacity as member of the Operating Company, in accordance with its terms.

4. Under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (6 Del. C. § 17-101, et seq.) and the Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners have no obligation to make further payments for their purchase of the Units or to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership solely by reason of their ownership of the Units or their status as limited partners of the Partnership, and assuming that the Limited Partners, as limited partners of the Partnership, do not participate in the control of the business of the Partnership, the Limited Partners, as limited partners of the Partnership, will not be obligated personally for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being limited partners of the Partnership (subject to the obligation of a limited partner of the Partnership to repay any funds wrongfully distributed to it).

5. There are no provisions in the Partnership Agreement the inclusion of which, subject to the terms and conditions therein, or, assuming that the Limited Partners, as limited partners of the Partnership, take no action other than actions permitted by the Partnership Agreement, the exercise of which, in accordance with the terms and conditions therein, would cause the Limited Partners, as limited partners of the Partnership, to be deemed to be participating in the control of the business of the Partnership.

The opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 through 3 above are subject to the effect upon the Agreements of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, liquidation and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, (ii) principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) the law of fraudulent transfer and conveyance, (iv) public policy, (v) applicable law relating to fiduciary duties, and (vi) judicial imposition of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

In rendering the opinions expressed above, we express no opinion with respect to (i) provisions of a document reviewed by us that apply to a Person that is not a party to such document, (ii) transfer restrictions in a document reviewed by us to the extent that a transfer occurs by operation of law or to the extent that Section 8-204 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code may be applicable, (iii) Section 7.1 of the Operating Company LLC Agreement to the extent that such provision purports to preclude dissolution of the Operating Company under certain statutorily required events of dissolution set forth in Section 18-801 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, 6 Del. C. § 18-101, et seq. (the “LLC Act”), and (iv) Section 7.4 of the Operating Company LLC Agreement to the extent that such provision is

B-2-4

inconsistent with Section 18-804 of the LLC Act. In addition, with respect to Section 16.9 of the Partnership Agreement (the “Forum Selection Provision”), we have assumed (i) that the submission by the parties to the jurisdiction of the specified court(s) has been freely agreed to by the parties to the Partnership Agreement, (ii) that the Forum Selection Provision would not be determined to be unreasonable at the time of any legal action or proceeding, and (iii) that the Forum Selection Provision would not place any of the parties to the applicable Agreement at a substantial and unjust advantage or otherwise deny such party of its day in court.

With respect to the opinions set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, the term “Limited Partners” does not include a Person who is or was a general partner of the Partnership.

We understand that you will rely as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion in connection with the public offering of the Units on or about the date hereof. In connection with the foregoing, we hereby consent to your relying as to matters of Delaware law upon this opinion, subject to the understanding that the opinions rendered herein are given on the date hereof and such opinions are rendered only with respect to facts existing on the date hereof and laws, rules and regulations currently in effect. Except as stated above, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be furnished or quoted to, or relied upon by, any other Person for any purpose.

Very truly yours,
