Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together with the Incentive Plan, the “Plans”). This opinion letter is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

Subject to the limitations set forth below, we have made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion letter. This opinion letter is limited solely to the federal laws of the United States and the Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes as in effect on the date hereof, and no opinion is expressed with respect to such laws as subsequently amended, or any other laws, or any effect that such amended or other laws may have on the opinion expressed herein.
