In connection with this opinion, we have examined instruments, documents, certificates and records which we have deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed including (1) the Registration Statement, including the exhibits thereto, (2) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), (3) the Company’s By-laws (the “Bylaws”), (4) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, and (5) such other documents, corporate records, and instruments as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein. In such examination, we have assumed (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (c) the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; (d) the persons executing the documents examined by us have the legal capacity to execute such documents; (e) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective under the Act; and (f) the Shares will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement.

Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued by the Company and delivered to Mr. LaFrence in accordance with the provisions of the Option Award, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of this firm’s name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving the foregoing 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 the rules and regulations of the Commission.
