Re: Registration on Form S-8; 700,000 Shares of Common Stock
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel to Energy Search, Incorporated (the "Company") in connection with the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the registration of 700,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, no par value, of the Company in connection with the Energy Search, Incorporated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan of 1998, as amended.
I have examined the Company's Charter and Bylaws and such other corporate records of the Company, documents and certificates of public officials and others as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.
Based on the foregoing and having regard for such legal considerations as I deem relevant, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
PATRICK R. SUGHROUE, P.C.
