the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at its request in such capacity in another corporation or business association, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. </P>

stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:4pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation includes a provision that limits a director&#146;s personal liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of his or her fiduciary duty as a director. Article EIGHTH of the Registrant&#146;s Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;) to be filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration of 3,300,000 shares (the &#147;Shares&#148;) of the
Company&#146;s common stock, par value $0.01 (&#147;Common Stock&#148;), potentially issuable pursuant to the Company&#146;s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated on April&nbsp;14, 2022, the &#147;Plan&#148;). As such counsel, we have
examined such matters of fact and questions of law, and such other matters and documents, as we have deemed necessary or relevant as a basis for this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the
foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, when the Registration Statement, as finally amended, shall have become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and upon the issuance and delivery of the Shares
in the manner contemplated by the Plan, assuming in each case that the individual grants or awards under the Plan are duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and duly granted or awarded and exercised in accordance with the requirements of
law and the Plan (and the agreements and awards duly adopted thereunder and in accordance therewith) and subject to the Company complying with all other terms of the Plan, including, without limitation, receipt of legal consideration in excess of
the par value of each Share issued, and when the Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the Plan&#146;s participants or when certificates representing the Shares
have been signed by an authorized officer of the transfer agent and registrar therefor, the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering
the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares (if applicable) provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and that a sufficient number
of authorized but unissued shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock will be available for issuance when the Shares are issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are opining herein as
to the effect on the subject transaction only of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the law of any other jurisdiction or, in the case
of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This opinion is being furnished in
accordance with the requirements of Item 8 of Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K.</FONT> Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we
render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company or the Common Stock, or as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the
