Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, the Shares, when issued, sold, and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan and, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
The foregoing opinion is based on, and is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we render no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of the name of our firm therein.
