The Shares, the Pre-funded Warrant Shares and the Wainwright Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Securities.”

As to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed below, we have, without independent verification of their accuracy, relied to the extent we deemed reasonably appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such documents, records, certificates, instruments or representations furnished or made available to us by the Company.
In making the foregoing examinations, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, (iv) that all agreements or instruments we have examined are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto, and (v) that all factual information on which we have relied was accurate and complete.
We have also assumed that (i) the Company will continue to be incorporated and in existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective; (iii) no stop order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus supplement will have been issued; (iv) a prospectus properly describing the Securities offered thereby will have been delivered to the purchaser(s) of the Securities as required in accordance with applicable law; (v) all Securities will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement; (vi) any definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Securities offered will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto and will be an enforceable obligation of the parties thereto; (vii) there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company Charter Documents and not otherwise reserved for issuance; and (viii) there will not have occurred any change in law or in the Company Charter Documents of the Company adversely affecting the Pre-funded Warrant Shares or Wainwright Warrant Shares or the rights of the holders thereof.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) the Pre-funded Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Pre-funded Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and (iii) the Wainwright Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Wainwright Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
