In rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have reviewed the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Stock Benefit Plan, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Form S-8”), as well as applicable statutes and regulations governing the Company.  We have assumed the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all documents in connection with the opinion expressed herein.  We have also assumed the legal capacity and genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which the opinions expressed herein are rendered.
