Amended and Restated 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan"), the following opinion is furnished to you to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Act.
We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Registration Statement, and we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as presently in effect, the bylaws, minute books and corporate records of the Company, and such other documents as we have considered necessary in order to furnish the opinion hereinafter set forth.
In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.

We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, when issued in accordance with the terms of the 2019 Plan and the options or other awards granted thereunder, the Registered Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Company.
This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion if any applicable laws change after the date of this opinion letter or if we become aware after the date of this opinion letter of any facts, whether existing before or arising after the date hereof, that might change the opinions expressed above.
