The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2021, by between the Company and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, as representative of several underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriting Agreement").

In reaching the opinion stated in this letter, we have reviewed originals or copies of (i) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, (ii) the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, (iii) the resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of the Shares, (iv) the Underwriting Agreement, and (v) such other documents as we have considered relevant.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and delivered in the manner and on the terms described in the Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement.
