On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(a)    the Units and the Over-Allotment Units have been duly authorized and, when issued and sold as described in the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable;
