RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about July 6, 2000 (as such
may thereafter be amended or supplemented the "Registration Statement") in
connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of 320,000 shares of your Common Stock (the "Stock") that are to be issued
pursuant to the AnyDay.com, Inc. 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). As your
legal counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the
proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with the sale and issuance
of the Shares under the Plan and pursuant to the agreements related thereto.
It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner referred to in
the Plan and pursuant to the agreements that accompany the Plan, the Shares will
be duly authorized, legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including any Prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendments thereto.
Very truly yours,
