our opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement and 462(b) Registration Statement, including the exhibits thereto, and
such other documents, corporate records and instruments, and have examined such laws and regulations, as we have deemed necessary
for the purposes of this opinion. In making our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and
the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to matters of fact material to our opinions in this letter, we have relied on certificates
and statements from officers and other employees of the Company, public officials and other appropriate persons.</P>

in this letter we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification, that each party to each of the documents executed
or to be executed, other than the Company, (a) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization,
(b) has full power and authority to execute such documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder, (c)
has taken all necessary action to authorize execution of such documents on its behalf by the persons executing same, (d) has properly
executed and delivered, or will properly execute and deliver, each of such documents to which it is a party, and (e) has duly obtained
all consents or approvals of any nature from and made all filings with any governmental authorities necessary for such party to
execute, deliver or perform its obligations under such documents to which it is a party. In addition, in rendering such opinions
we have assumed, without independent investigation or verification, (i) that the execution and delivery of, and performance of
their respective obligations under, the documents executed or to be executed by each party thereto, other than the Company, do
not violate any law, rule, regulation, agreement or instrument binding upon such party, (ii) that all acts have been taken without
violation of any fiduciary duties and in accordance with any notice or disclosure requirements, (iii) that each of such documents
is the legal, valid and binding obligation of, and enforceable against, each party thereto, other than the Company, and (iv) that
the execution and delivery by the Company of, and performance by it of its obligations under, such documents do not violate any
law, rule, regulation, agreement or instrument binding upon the Company or require any consent or approval from or filing with
any governmental authority (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (iv) with respect to the Delaware
General Corporation Law and those laws, rules and regulations of the states of Illinois and New York and the United States of America
that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type provided for by the documents executed or to be executed,
but without our having made any special investigation with respect to any other laws, rules or regulations).</P>
