In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as currently in effect, and the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
