         We have examined such records and documents (including the 
proceedings proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the
registration, sale and issuance of the securities included in the Registration
Statement) and made such examinations of law as we have deemed relevant in 
connection with this opinion. It is our opinion that when there has been 
compliance with the Act and the applicable state securities laws and upon
completion of the proceedings being taken or contemplated by us, as counsel to
the Company, prior to the issuance and sale of the securities included in the
Registration Statement:

         (1)      The Shares, the Redeemable Warrants and Underwriters' Warrants
                  will be duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid
                  for in the manner described in the form of Underwriting
                  Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1.1 to the 
                  Registration Statement, will be legally issued and the 
                  Shares, when so issued, delivered and paid for will also be 
                  fully paid and nonassessable.

         (2)      The Warrant Shares will be duly authorized, and when issued,
                  delivered and, paid for upon exercise of the Redeemable
                  Warrants in the manner described in the form of Warrant
                  Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to the 
                  Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid, 
                  and nonassessable.

         (3)      The Underwriters' Shares, the Underwriters' Common Stock
                  Warrants and the Underwriters' Warrant Shares, will be duly
                  authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in the
                  manner described in the Underwriters' Warrants incorporated
                  by reference as Exhibit 4.1 to the Registration Statement, 
                  will be legally issued, and the Underwriters' Shares and the 
                  Underwriters' Warrant Shares, when so issued, delivered and 
                  paid for will also be fully paid and nonassessable.

         (4)      The Redeemable Warrants, the Underwriters' Warrants and the
                  Underwriters' Common Stock Warrants, will be duly authorized,
                  and when issued and paid for as set forth in the Prospectus
                  forming a part of the Registration Statement, will be 
                  legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will 
                  constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the 
                  Company, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, 
                  insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of
