Re: Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Post Effective Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
being filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with
respect to the offer and sale of 1,000,000 additional shares (the "Shares")
of the Company's common stock, par value $0.10 per share, pursuant to the
Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
In rendering this opinion, we have examined: (a) the Registration
Statement; (b) the Company's prospectus, dated February 7, 2001; (c) a
copy of the Company's bylaws; and (d) a record of the proceedings of the
Company relating to the authorization of the issuance and delivery of the
Shares pursuant to the Plan. We have also examined originals, or copies
of the originals certified to our satisfaction, of such agreements,
documents, certificates and other statements of governmental officials
and other instruments, and examined such questions of law and have
satisfied ourselves as to such matters of fact, as we have considered
relevant and necessary as a basis for this opinion. We have assumed,
without inquiry, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the genuiness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all
natural persons and the conformity with authentic original documents
of any copies thereof submitted to us for our examinations.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated
herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company has been incorporated under the laws of
Florida and the Company's status is active.
2. The Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable when: (i) the Registration Statement shall have become
effective under the Securities Act; (ii) the Shares shall have
been issued and
sold in the manner contemplated by the Plan; and (iii) to the extent
such Shares are certificated, the certificates representing the Shares
shall have been executed, countersigned and registered and delivered
to the purchasers thereof against payment of the agreed consideration
therefor.
We express no opinion as to the application of the securities
or "Blue Sky" laws of the various states to the sale of the Shares.
The opinions rendered herein are limited to the law of the
State of Florida and the Federal law of the United States.
This opinion is being delivered in connection with the
Registration Statement and, accordingly, may not be used for any
other purpose without our prior written consent. We assume no
obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts
or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention with
respect to the opinions expressed above, including any changes in
applicable law that may hereafter occur.
We hereby consent to the use of our name in the
Registration Statement as counsel who will pass upon the legality
of the Shares for the company and as having prepared this opinion,
and to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. We also consent to the use of our name as counsel for
the Company and to any references to this firm in the prospectus
that constitutes part of the Registration Statement.
In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we come
within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
FOWLER WHITE BOGGS P.A.
