(3) resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company relating to the Registration Statement;
(4) a good standing certificate, issued by the Secretary of the State of Delaware, with respect to the Company;

reason to believe that any such representations are incorrect or incomplete. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In connection with this letter, we have concerned ourselves solely with the application of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the laws of the United States, and no opinion is expressed herein concerning the possible effects of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Based upon our review of the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
(a) the Company has been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and is validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and
(b) the Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement has been duly authorized and, when issued under the terms set forth in the Registration Statement, will be fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
