We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents and corporate and public records as we deem necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. With respect to such, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures appearing on all documents presented to us as originals, and the conformity to the originals of all documents presented to us as conformed or reproduced copies. Where factual matters relevant to such opinion were not independently established, we have relied upon certificates of officers and responsible employees and agents of the Company. Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly authorized and when sold, paid for and issued as contemplated by the Registration Statement will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable provided, however, that the payment therefore is in any event not less than the par value of the Shares so issued.
