We hereby confirm to you that, insofar as it relates to matters of U.S. federal income tax law, the discussion under the caption “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement, subject to the qualifications, exceptions, assumptions and limitations contained herein and therein, is our opinion.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references therein to us.
