As such counsel, I have examined the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto and such other documents, and have obtained such certificates and assurances from officers and representatives of the Company and made such additional inquiries, as I have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. I have assumed the genuineness of all documents submitted to us as copies. I have also examined the proceedings heretofore taken by the Company in connection with the authorization of the issuance of the Common Stock thereof. On the basis of and in reliance upon the foregoing examinations, inquiries and assumptions, and such other matters of fact and questions of law as I have deemed appropriate, and subject to the limitations contained herein, I am of the opinion that any shares of Common Stock to be issued in the by the Company will be issued in accordance with the terms of the Employee Stock Incentive Plan and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission.
