We have examined and are familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, as each is currently in effect, the Registration Statement, the Plan, resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the adoption of the Plan and the proposed registration and issuance of the Shares and such other corporate documents and records and other certificates, and we have made such investigations of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to render the opinions hereinafter set forth. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the accuracy and completeness of all public records reviewed. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be issued upon exercise of any options duly granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan have been duly and validly authorized and, when the Shares have been paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan and certificates therefore have been duly executed and delivered, such Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement.
