Re: InfoCure Corporation
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for InfoCure Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement
on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to an aggregate of 7,408,731 shares of common stock
(the "Shares") issuable by the Company pursuant to the stock option plans and
individual stock option agreements referenced in the Registration Statement.
As such counsel, we have examined and relied upon such records, documents,
certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate to form the basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. In all
such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original
documents and the conformity to such original documents of all copies submitted
to us as certified, conformed or photographic copies, and as to certificates of
public officials, we have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be
accurate.
The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to the corporate
law of the State of Delaware, and no opinion is expressed with respect to the
laws of any other jurisdiction or any effect which such laws may have on the
opinions expressed herein. This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein,
and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated
herein.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: (i) the Shares are
duly authorized; and (ii) upon the issuance of the Shares, in accordance with
the terms of the employee stock purchase plan, the respective stock option plans
or individual stock option agreements pursuant to which options to purchase such
shares were granted, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to
advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that come to our
attention or changes in law that occur which could affect the opinions contained
herein. This letter is being rendered solely for the benefit of the Company in
connection with the matters addressed herein. This opinion may not be furnished
to or relied upon by any person or entity for any purpose without our prior
written consent.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
