(g) The Registration Statement;
(h) The prospectus, dated July 28, 2008 (the "Prospectus"), and the prospectus supplement related
to the Notes, dated August 6, 2008 (the "Prospectus Supplement");
(i) A certificate of the Trust, dated August 15, 2008, as to certain matters; and
(j) A Certificate of Good Standing for the Trust, dated August 15, 2008, obtained from the
Secretary of State.
We have obtained or have been furnished with, and have relied upon with respect to factual
matters, such certificates, advices and assurances from public officials and others as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
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.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, at the time of issuance and sale of the Notes, (i)
except with respect to the Bank, Funding and the Trust, the due authorization, execution and delivery by all
parties thereto of all documents examined by us, (ii) that the Bank will have taken all necessary corporate
action, Funding will have taken all necessary limited

liability company action, and the Trust will have taken all necessary trust action, to cause the issuance and sale
of the Notes, (iii) that the issuance and sale of the Notes will not be contrary to any applicable law, rule,
regulation or order, and (iv) in connection with the documents of which we have reviewed a form, that all blanks
contained in such documents will be properly and appropriately completed, and optional provisions included in such
documents will be properly and appropriately selected, and as executed, such documents will conform with the forms
of the documents reviewed by us.
This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware and United States of America federal
law, and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction. Our opinions are
rendered only with respect to Delaware and United States of America federal laws and rules, regulations and orders
thereunder which are currently in effect.
Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes 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, when the Notes have been duly executed, authenticated and
delivered in accordance with the Indenture, paid for, and sold in the manner described in the Registration
Statement, any amendment thereto and the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, the Notes will be legally
issued, fully paid, nonassessable and binding obligations of the Trust, and the holders of the Notes will be
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. The foregoing opinion is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent transfer and conveyance, moratorium and other laws relating to or
affecting the rights of creditors generally, general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts
of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the possible unavailability of specific
performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at
law, and safety and soundness requirements.
We understand that you will file this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K for incorporation into the Registration Statement. We hereby consent to
the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We hereby consent to the use of our name
under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not thereby admit
that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
WAY/ EL
