This Opinion is restricted to the application of the Securities Act of 1933. I have not been asked to give or provide any review of the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to myself in the Registration Statement.
