Re:Registration Statement on Form S-1

SEC File No. 333-177636

 

Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as your counsel in the preparation of Registration Statement on Amendment No. 5 to Form S-1, File No. 333-177636 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration of shares of your common stock, as more fully described in the subject Registration Statement.

 

In so acting, we have examined and relied upon such records, documents and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate in order to express the opinion hereinafter set forth, and have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.

 

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the common stock, when issued and delivered in the manner and on the terms described in the Registration Statement (after it is declared effective), will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We hereby consent to the reference to our Firm in the Registration Statement under the caption “Legal Matters” and to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the general rules and regulations thereunder.

 

  Very truly yours,
   
  JOHNSON, POPE, BOKOR,
  RUPPEL & BURNS, LLP
