In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinions. Based on the foregoing and subject to the further assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1.    The Series B Shares, when issued upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock and Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

With regard to our opinions above, we have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue and deliver the Series B Shares, Yorkville Shares, and WTI Warrant Shares, as the case may be, will remain in full force and effect at all times at which such Shares are issued and delivered by the Company, and the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions.
As to facts material to the opinions and assumptions expressed herein, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others. The opinions expressed herein are limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction on the opinions expressed herein.

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 Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
