In such examination, I have assumed the following: (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies; and (c) the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information, representations, and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates I have reviewed.

Based on such examination, I am of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Plan are duly authorized, and when issued and sold as described in the Plan and Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
