• File No. 333-190878, as filed with the Commission on August 29, 2013, originally registering 1,500,000 shares of Predecessor Registrant Common Stock pursuant to the ESPP.

• File No. 333-190879, as filed with the Commission on August 29, 2013, originally registering 3,000,000 shares of Predecessor Registrant Common Stock pursuant to the 2009 Plan.

The Company is the successor to the Predecessor Registrant as a result of an internal reorganization of the Predecessor Registrant that occurred on November 8, 2016 (the “Reorganization”). To effect the Reorganization, the Predecessor Registrant formed the Company and in turn caused the Company to form Vanilla Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Reorganization was implemented pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), by the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Predecessor Registrant (the “Merger”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 7, 2016, by and among the Company, the Predecessor Registrant and Merger Sub.

The Predecessor Registrant survived the Merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and each outstanding share of capital stock of the Predecessor Registrant was converted in the Merger into a share of capital stock of the Company having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as the share of the Predecessor Registrant’s capital stock being converted.

Immediately following the Merger, the Company assumed all of the Predecessor Registrant’s rights and obligations under all of its employee benefit plans, agreements and arrangements, equity incentive plans and sub-plans and related agreements, including all obligations with respect to the shares of capital stock issuable or to be issued pursuant to the ESPP, the 2000 Plan, the 2009 Plan and the 2015 Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).

fiduciary duties. As to all questions of fact material to the opinion set forth herein and as to the materiality of any fact or other matter referred to herein, we have relied (without independent investigation) upon representations and certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Predecessor Registrant and Company.

Based upon the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and sold as described in the applicable Registration Statement and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Plan and the applicable award agreement thereunder (including the receipt by the Company of the full consideration therefor or prices not less than the par value of the Shares), will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Without limiting any of the other limitations, exceptions and qualifications stated elsewhere herein, we express no opinion with regard to the applicability or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, as in effect on the date of this opinion letter, the DGCL.

This opinion letter deals only with the specified legal issues expressly addressed herein, and you should not infer any opinion that is not explicitly addressed herein from any matter addressed in this opinion letter.

This opinion letter is rendered solely to you in connection with the issuance and delivery of the Shares and may be relied upon by you solely for such purpose. This opinion letter is rendered to you as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person with regard to any change after the date hereof in the circumstances or the law that may bear on the matters set forth herein even if the change may affect the legal analysis, legal conclusion or other matters in this opinion letter.

We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Post-Effective Amendment. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,
