Based upon the foregoing and the examination of such legal authorities as we have deemed relevant, and subject to the qualifications and further assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that the previously issued Registered Shares were duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable and the additional Registered Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement will, when issued, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We have made such inquiries with respect thereto as we consider necessary to render this opinion with respect to a Nevada corporation. This opinion letter is opining upon and is limited to the current federal laws of the United States and, as set forth above, Nevada law, including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Nevada Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, as such laws presently exist and to the facts as they presently exist. We express no opinion with respect to the effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We assume no obligation to revise or
