Based on the foregoing, we advise you that, in our opinion, when the Shares have been issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plans, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We are members of the Bars of the States of New York and California and the foregoing opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.
