In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, each as currently in effect, and originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such other records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

As to any facts that are material to the opinions hereinafter expressed that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied without investigation upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and the Selling Stockholder and have not independently verified such matters.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.
