The opinions expressed herein are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws of the State of New York, in each case as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In addition, we have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue or deliver and sell (i) the Shares pursuant to the Plan and the Award Agreements and (ii) the Rights pursuant to the Rights Agreement will be in full force and effect at all times at which the Securities are issued or delivered and sold by the Company, and that the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions.

In rendering the opinions above, we have assumed that each award under the Plan will be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or an authorized committee of the Board.

In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 2 above, we have also assumed that (i) the Company’s Board has acted and will act in accordance with its fiduciary duties with respect to the authorization, execution, delivery and administration of the Rights Agreement and the issuance and administration of the Rights and (ii) the Rights Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each party thereto other than the Company. It should be understood that (x) the Rights, by their terms, are subject under certain circumstances to becoming void in the hands of certain holders or purported transferees, (y) our opinion addresses the Rights and the Rights Agreement in their entirety and does not address the validity or binding effect of any particular provision of the Rights or the Rights Agreement, and (z) the effect, if any, that the invalidity of any particular provision of the Rights Agreement or the Rights might have on any other provision, or the entirety, of the Rights Agreement or the Rights is not settled under applicable law and could be affected by the facts and circumstances existing at the time of any adjudication of the issue. It should also be understood that our opinion does not address the substance or consequences of any determination that a court of competent jurisdiction may make regarding whether the Company’s Board would be required to redeem or terminate, or take other action with respect to, the Rights Agreement or the Rights at some future time based on the facts and circumstances existing at that time.

The opinions expressed herein are limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws and related regulations and judicial doctrines from time to time in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general equitable principles and public policy considerations, whether such principles and considerations are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company to effect the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
