In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, (iii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, (iv) the Equity Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Selling Stockholder dated as of August 19, 2011 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), (v) the Registration Rights Agreement by and between the Company and the Selling Stockholder dated as of August 19, 2011, and (vi) and such certificates, documents, corporate records and other instruments and matters of law as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

In giving this opinion, we are assuming the authenticity of all instruments presented to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all instruments presented to us as copies and the genuineness of all signatures.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, upon the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Nevada, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law.
