On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that:

 

(i)the Private Placement Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and

 

(ii)upon exercise of the Warrants against payment of the exercise price therefor and in accordance with the terms of Warrants, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that at or prior to the time of the delivery of any Resale Shares, that the Registration Statement will have been declared effective under the Act and that the registration will apply to all of the Resale Shares and will not have been modified or rescinded and that there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity of the issuance of such Resale Shares.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm therein under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement within the meaning of the term “expert,” as used in Section 11 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission, nor do we admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose.

 

  Very truly yours,
