For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that (i) the issuance, sale, amount and terms of any Securities to be offered from time to time will have been duly authorized and established by proper action of the board of directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee of such board (“Board Action”), consistent with the procedures and terms described in the Registration Statement and in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws and applicable Delaware law, each as then in effect, in a manner that does not violate any law, government or court-imposed order or restriction or agreement or instrument then binding on the Company, or otherwise impair the legal or binding nature of the obligations represented by the applicable Securities; (ii) at the time of the offer, issuance and sale of any Securities, the Registration Statement will have been declared effective under the Securities Act, and no stop order suspending its effectiveness will have been issued and remain in effect; (iii) any Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture with a qualified trustee named therein; (iv) the applicable indenture under which any Debt Securities are issued will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and for which the governing law shall be the State of New York; (v) prior to any issuance of Preferred Stock, appropriate certificates of designation classifying the Preferred Stock and setting forth the terms thereof will have been duly filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; (vi) any Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant agreements, each to be between the Company and a financial institution or other party identified therein as warrant agent, for which the governing law shall be the laws of the State of New York; (vii) any Units will be issued under one or more unit agreements, each to be between the Company and a financial institution or other party identified therein as a unit agent, for which the governing law shall be the laws of the State of New York; (viii) any Rights will be issued under one or more rights agreements, each to be between the Company and a financial institution or other party identified therein as a rights agent, for which the governing law shall be the laws of the State of New York; (ix) if being sold by the Company, the Securities will be delivered against payment of valid consideration therefor and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Board Action authorizing such sale and the terms of any other applicable underwriting agreement or purchase agreement and as contemplated by the Registration Statement and any applicable prospectus supplement; and (x) the Company will remain a Delaware corporation.

To the extent that the obligations of the Company with respect to the Securities may be dependent upon such matters, we also assume for purposes of this opinion that the other party under the indenture for any Debt Securities, under the warrant agreement for any Warrants, under the unit agreement for any Units, and under the rights agreement for any Rights, namely, the trustee, the warrant agent, the unit agent or the rights agent, respectively, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that such other party is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by such indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or rights agreement, as applicable; that such indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or rights agreement, as applicable, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the other party and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the other party enforceable against the other party in accordance with its terms; that such other party is in compliance with respect to performance of its obligations under such indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or rights agreement, as applicable, with all applicable laws and regulations; and that such other party has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under such indenture, warrant agreement, unit agreement or rights agreement, as applicable.

This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on the applicable provisions of the following, as currently in effect: (i) as to the opinions given in paragraphs (1) and (2), the Delaware General Corporation Law; and (ii) as to the opinions given in paragraphs (3), (4) and (5), the laws of the State of New York (but not including any laws, statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations of any political subdivision below the state level).
