dated April 30, 2014, among the Company and Global Hunter Securities, LLC, as the sole underwriter named, and (iv) all such other documents, including certificates of public officials and representatives of the Company, as we have deemed necessary.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the original
documents of all documents submitted to us as electronic photocopies and the accuracy of the factual representations made to us by officers and other representatives of the Company. As to any questions of fact material to our opinion, we have, when
relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon the aforesaid certificates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This opinion is limited to RMI law as of the
