Of the aggregate number of Shares, 4,180,000 will be sold by the Company, including 630,000 Shares subject to an over-allotment option, and 650,000 Shares will be sold by certain selling stockholders named in the Original Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”).

 

In connection with rendering this opinion, we have reviewed the following:

 

1.		The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”);

Based upon the following and upon the representations and information provided by the Company, we hereby advise you that in our opinion:

 

1.		The Certificate of Incorporation validly authorizes the issuance of the Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement to be issued and sold by the Company.
2.		Upon the delivery and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Registration Statement and the Underwriting Agreement described in the Registration Statement, the Shares to be issued and sold by the Company will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
3.		The Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” included in the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus.

 

	Very truly yours,
		/s/ Fredrikson & Byron, P.A.
