We are furnishing this opinion to you in accordance with Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Securities Act for filing as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

We have also examined such other documents, certificates, instruments and corporate records, and such statutes, decisions and questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Statement) to the public, when issued and sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement (as amended), will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
