dated November 6, 2018 (the “Boustead Offering Engagement

This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements
of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined (i) the Registration

legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original
documents of all documents submitted to us as certified and
conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such
documents.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares
covered by the Registration Statement are, upon issuance, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We express no opinion as to the effect or application of any laws
or regulations other than those of the Nevada General Corporation
Law (including the statutory provisions and all applicable

applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware
of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after
the date hereof. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters
