In our capacity as such counsel, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the authorization, issuance, offering and sale of the Shares as contemplated by the Sales Agreement and as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.  For purposes of this opinion letter, and except to the extent set forth in the opinion expressed below, we have assumed that all such proceedings have been or will be timely completed in the manner presently proposed in the Sales Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

For purposes of issuing this opinion letter, we have (a) made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies of (i) the Sales Agreement (including the form of the placement notice attached thereto), (ii) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (iii) the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, each as amended to date, and (iv) such other agreements, instruments, corporate records (including, without limitation, resolutions adopted by the board of directors and any committee thereof, and by the stockholders of the Company) and documents, or forms therof, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter, and (b) obtained from officers and other representatives and agents of the Company, and from public officials, and have relied upon, such certificates, representations and assurances, and public filings, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in our examination, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent verification, that (i) the statements of fact and all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the documents we have reviewed are and at all relevant times will be true and correct as to factual matters; (ii) each natural person executing a document has, or at all relevant times will have, sufficient legal capacity to do so; (iii) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, the signatures on all documents that we have examined are genuine and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, facsimile or electronic copies conform to the original document; (iv) all corporate records made available to us by the Company, and all public records we have reviewed, are accurate and complete; (v) the obligations of each party set forth in the documents we have reviewed  are its valid and binding obligations, enforceable against such party in accordance with their respective terms; (vi) all documents we have reviewed accurately describe and contain the mutual understanding of the parties thereto and there are no oral or written agreements or understandings, and there is no course of prior dealing between any of the parties, that would in any manner vary or supplement the terms and provisions of such documents, or of the relationships set forth therein, or which would constitute a waiver of any of the provisions thereof by the actions or conduct of the parties or otherwise, or which would have an effect on the opinion issued herein; and (vii) immediately after any issuance of Shares, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of SATS Stock, together with the total number of shares of SATS Stock then reserved for issuance or obligated to be issued by the Company pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, plan (including under the Sales Agreement), or otherwise, will not exceed the total number of shares of SATS Stock then authorized under the Company’s articles of incorporation, including the certificate of designation establishing the SATS Stock.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and having regard to legal considerations and other information that we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1.   The Shares have been duly authorized by the Company.

2.   If, when and to the extent any Shares are issued and sold in accordance with all applicable terms and conditions set forth in, and in the manner contemplated by, the Sales Agreement, including payment in full to the Company of all consideration required therefor, and as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
