I am a member of the Bar of the State of California and do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of California, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United States. I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading "Interests of Named Experts and Counsel" in the Registration Statement. Very truly yours, /S/ L. STEPHEN ALBRIGHT - ----------------------------------------------- L. STEPHEN ALBRIGHT, Esq. ALBRIGHT & BLUM, P.C.
