The $6.24 Warrants and the $3.40 Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants.” The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Notes and the Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Shares.”

We have examined originals or copies of such other corporate records, certificates of corporate officers and public officials and other agreements and documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion letter.  We have relied upon the certificates of all public officials and corporate officers with respect to the accuracy of all factual matters contained therein. 

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in our examination, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent verification, that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, the signatures on all documents that we examined are genuine, and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies conform to the original document; and (ii) all corporate records made available to us by the Company and all public records we have reviewed are accurate and complete.  We note that the Company has reserved, and assume it will continue to maintain reserved, a sufficient number of shares of its duly authorized, but unissued, common stock as is necessary to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares and the Note Shares.

 

 

1.

Issuance of the Warrants has been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the relevant Warrant, the Shares issuable thereunder will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

 

 

 

 

2.

Issuance of the Notes has been duly authorized by the Company and upon conversion thereof in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Shares into which the Notes are converted will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Nevada; provided, however, that we express no opinion with respect to any securities law or rule.  The opinions expressed above concern only the effect of the laws (excluding the principles of conflict of laws) of the State of Nevada currently in effect.  We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable laws change after the date of this opinion, or if we become aware of any facts that might change the opinions expressed above after the date of this opinion.
