We have examined the Registration Statements and documents and records of the Company and other documents, matters of fact and questions of law that we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information, representations, and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments, and certificates we have reviewed.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Company Shares have been duly authorized and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement, and to the reference to this firm under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or related rules, nor do we admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement within the meaning of the term "expert" as used in the Securities Act or related rules.
Very truly yours,
