Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Series m Preferred Stock and the Class A Common Stock into which the Series m Preferred Stock may convert being sold pursuant to the offering statement will be duly authorized and will be, when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No opinion is being rendered hereby with respect to the truth and accuracy, or completeness of the offering statement or any portion thereof.

We further consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the offering statement.
