Dividends. In each fiscal year of the Corporation holders of shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any cash dividends shall be declared and paid upon or set aside for the Common stock in such fiscal year, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of funds legally available for that purpose, dividends payable in cash in an amount per share for such fiscal year at least equal to the per share amount, if any, of any cash dividend for the Common Stock during such fiscal year. All dividends declared upon Series A Stock shall be declared pro rata per share. 2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Stock then outstanding shall, unless they elect to convert their Series A Stock into Common Stock as set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment shall be made to the holders of any stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series A Stock (with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A -2- 42 Stock shall rank prior to the Common Stock) an amount equal to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per share. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the assets of the Corporation available for the distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Stock the full amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series A Stock and any class of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said shares were paid in full. The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another corporation, the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation, or the sale, transfer, mortgage, pledge or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 3. Voting. The shares of Series A Stock shall have no voting rights or power and the holders of such shares shall not be entitled to vote such shares upon or in respect of any matter submitted to stockholders for vote or action, except (a) as otherwise required by law and (b) that the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the shares of outstanding Series A Stock shall be required to authorize any issuance of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock by the Corporation in a transaction or series of related transactions designed to increase the Corporation's equity ownership in an entity (or the assets of an entity) in which the Corporation's initial investment was funded with the proceeds of the sale of shares of Series A Stock and such issuance increases the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully converted basis (treating as outstanding for this purpose all common stock equivalents determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) by two percent (2%) or more. If any matter is to be submitted to the vote or consent of the holders of Series A Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3, the Corporation shall provide such holders with not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice thereof and each share of Series A Stock shall be entitled to one vote (in person or by proxy) with respect to such -3- 43 matter, voting in the manner provided for in the By-laws of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. (a) Shares of Series A Stock may be converted, at the option of the holder thereof, in the manner hereinafter provided, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, at any time during the one-year period (the "Conversion Period") commencing (i) on the day ("Conversion Date") which is five (5) years from the date of issue of such shares of Series A Stock by the Corporation ("Issue Date") and ending (ii) on the day ("Expiration Date") which is six (6) years from the Issue Date of such shares of Series A Stock. If any holder of such shares does not elect to convert such shares at any time during the Conversion Period, such shares shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on the Expiration Date for such shares of Series A Stock. The Series A Stock shall be converted into Common Stock of the Corporation during the Conversion Period, whether such conversion is voluntary or involuntary, by the Corporation's issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Stock then being converted by a fraction of which the numerator shall be $2,000 and the denominator shall be the greater of (x) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date or (y) one and one-half (1-1/2) times the book value per share of Common Stock, as such book value per share is shown on the balance sheet of the Corporation as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the Conversion Date. For the purpose hereof, "fair market value per share" shall mean the average closing price per share of the Common stock of the Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for the sixty (60) day period ending ten (10) days prior to the Conversion Date; provided, however, that if the Common Stock of the Corporation is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange such fair market value shall be the average of the mean between the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock of the Corporation for such 60-day period in the over-the-counter market or, if such shares are not then traded in the over-the-counter market or any other national securities exchange, such fair market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. -4- 44 (b) In case of any consolidation of the corporation with, or merger of the Corporation into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation) or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, which shall occur while any shares of Series A Stock are outstanding, each share of Series A Stock shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into Common Stock, immediately prior to or contemporaneously with such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and the holders of Series A Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive, together with all other holders of Common Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by the holders of Common Stock. The conversion of Series A Stock for purposes of this paragraph (b) shall be effected by the Corporation's issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Stock then being converted by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of $1,000 plus the product of (x) $16.66 2/3 multiplied by (y) the number of months (but not in excess of sixty (60) months in the aggregate) which elapse during the period commencing with the Issue Date and ending as of the end of the month immediately preceding the date of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and the denominator shall be the average closing price per share of the Common Stock of the Corporation on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for the sixty (60) day period ending thirty (30) days prior to the date that the Corporation shall have first publicly announced the proposed consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance; provided, however, that if the Common Stock of the Corporation is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such per share price shall be determined, on the basis of such 60-day period, as set forth in Section 4(a) hereof. (c) In case any person shall make a tender offer to purchase at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation ("Tender Offer") at any time while Series A Stock is outstanding, each holder of shares of Series A Stock shall have the right, at his election, to convert such shares into Common Stock of the Corporation during the period commencing with the first public announcement of -5- 45 the Tender Offer ("Offer Date") and ending on the date of expiration of the Tender Offer. If any holder elects to so convert his Series A Stock pursuant to this paragraph (c), the conversion shall be effected by the Corporation's issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Stock then being converted by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of $1,000 plus the product of (x) $16.66 2/3 multiplied by (y) the number of months (but not in excess of sixty (60) months in the aggregate) which elapse during the period commencing with the Issue Date and ending as of the end of the month immediately preceding the Offer Date, and the denominator shall be the average closing price per share of the Common Stock of the Corporation on the new York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for the sixty (60) day period ending thirty (30) days prior to the Offer Date; provided, however, that if the Common Stock of the Corporation is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such per share price shall be determined, on the basis of such 60-day period, as set forth in Section 4(a) hereof. (d) In case of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation ("liquidation"), whether voluntary or involuntary, in lieu of the right to receive the payments specified in Section 2 hereof, the holders of shares of Series A Stock then outstanding shall have the right to convert the Series A Stock into Common Stock, up to and until the close of business on the full business day next preceding the date fixed for the liquidation of the Corporation, the conversion thereof to be effected by the Corporation's issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Stock then being converted by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of $1,000 plus the product of (x) $16.66 2/3 multiplied by (y) the number of months (but not in excess of 60 months in the aggregate) which elapse during the period commencing with the Issue Date and ending as of the end of the month immediately preceding the date of such liquidation, and the denominator shall be the amount (or value if other than cash) per share of Common Stock to be distributed to the holders of Common Stock in liquidation of the Corporation. (e) The Corporation shall not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Stock or scrip in lieu thereof. If any fraction of a share of -6- 46 Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this paragraph (e), be issuable upon conversion of Series A Stock, the Corporation shall in lieu thereof pay to the person entitled thereto an amount in cash equal to the current value of such fraction, calculated to the nearest one-thousandth (1/1000) of a share, to be computed (i) if the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange on the basis of the last sales price of the Common Stock on such exchange (or the quoted closing bid price if there shall have been no sales) on the Conversion Date (or Merger Date, Offer Date or date of liquidation, as the case may be), or (ii) if the Common Stock shall not be so listed, on the basis of the mean between the closing bid and asked prices for the Common Stock on the Conversion Date (or Merger Date, Offer Date or date of liquidation, as the case may be) as reported by NASDAQ, or its successor, and if there are no such closing bid and asked prices, on the basis of the fair market value per share as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. (f) In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the holder of any Series A Stock to be converted shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates therefor to the principal office of the transfer agent for the Series A Stock (or if no transfer agent be at the time appointed, then to the Corporation at its principal office), and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that the holder elects to convert the Series A Stock represented by such certificates. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series A Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered at such office to such holder, or on his or its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in paragraph (e) hereof in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. (g) On the date that any conversion takes effect hereunder, all shares of Series A Stock then to be converted shall cease to have any rights with respect to such stock, and the sole rights of the holders of such stock shall be with respect to the Common Stock into -7- 47 which such shares have been so converted. Each holder of an outstanding certificate of Series A Stock which, prior to conversion represented shares of Series A Stock, shall be entitled to receive therefor, on and after the date that any such conversion takes effect, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares shall have been converted, upon surrender of such certificate or certificates to such agent or agents as may be appointed by the Corporation. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his attorney duly authorized in writing. All certificates evidencing shares of Series A Stock which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the shares of Series A Stock represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the owner or owners thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to said date. (h) In case: (i) of any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; or (ii) of the involuntary or voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation; then the Corporation shall cause to be filed at the office of the transfer agent of the Series A Stock and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the Series A Stock, at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the record of such transfer agent at least twenty (20) days before the date specified herein below, a notice stating the date on which such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property -8- 48 deliverable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. (i) The Corporation shall use its best efforts, at all times when the Series A Stock shall be outstanding, to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Stock. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the conversion price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted conversion price. (j) Upon any such conversion, no adjustment shall be made for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered. (k) All shares of Series A Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall forthwith cease and terminate except only the right of the holders thereof to receive Common Stock in exchange therefor. Any shares of Series A Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series Stock accordingly. 5. Definitions. The term "Common Stock" shall be deemed to refer to the Common Stock, $.16 2/3 par value per share, authorized by the Articles of Organization of the Corporation, as amended and in effect on the date hereof, and to any additional share of stock of any class of the Corporation other than preferred stock with a fixed limit on dividends and a fixed amount payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. -9- 49 FURTHER VOTED: That the President or any Vice Present and the Clerk or an Assistant Clerk be and hereby are authorized to execute, on behalf of the Corporation and under its corporate seal, a certificate setting forth a copy of the foregoing votes, and to cause such certificate to be filed with Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts all in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

INDEMNIFICATION Section 1. Actions, Suits and Proceedings. Except as otherwise provided below, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent authorized by Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment either (i) permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such laws permitted prior to such amendment or (ii) prohibits or limits any of the indemnification rights previously set forth in such laws), indemnify each person who is, or shall have been, a director or officer of the Corporation or who is or was a director or employee of the Corporation and is serving, or shall have served, at the request of the Corporation, as a director or officer of another organization or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Corporation, against all liabilities and expenses (including judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed upon or incurred by any such person (the "Indemnitee") in connection with, or arising out of, the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which he may be a defendant or with which he may be threatened -3- 75 or otherwise involved, directly or indirectly, by reason of his being or having been such a director or officer or as a result of his serving or having served with respect to any such employee benefit plan; provided, however, that the Corporation shall provide no indemnification with respect to any matter as to which any such Indemnitee shall be finally adjudicated in such action, suit or proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was (i) in the best interests of the Corporation or (ii) to the extent such matter relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. Section 2. Settlements. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation for liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with the settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless a determination is made, within 45 days after receipt by the Corporation of a written request by the Indemnitee for indemnification, that such settlement or compromise is not in the best interests of the Corporation or, to the extent such matter relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, that such settlement or compromise is not in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such plan. Any such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors of the corporation by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Corporation then in office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are less than two disinterested directors then in office, the Board of Directors shall promptly direct that independent legal counsel (who may be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) determine, based on facts known to such counsel at such time, whether such Indemnitee acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Corporation or the participants or beneficiaries of any such employee benefit plan, as the case may be; and, in such event, indemnification shall be made to such Indemnitee unless, within 45 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request by such Indemnitee for indemnification, such independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Corporation determines that such Indemnitee did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Corporation or the participants or beneficiaries of any such employee benefit plan, as the case may be. Section 3. Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must give to the Corporation notice in writing as soon as -4- 76 practicable of any action, suit or proceeding involving him for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit or proceeding of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article. The Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any claim brought by or on behalf of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above. Section 4. Advance of Expenses. Subject to Section 3 above, the right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation for expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article. Such undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such Indemnitee to make such repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the Corporation under this Section 4 if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Corporation then in office or, if there are not at least two disinterested directors then in office, by independent legal counsel (who may be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written opinion that, based on facts known to the Board or counsel at such time, such Indemnitee did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Corporation or the participants or beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan of the Corporation, as the case may be. -5- 77 Section 5. Partial Indemnity. If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the liabilities or expenses imposed upon or incurred by such indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any action, suit or proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such iabilities or expenses to which such Indemnitee is entitled. Section 6. Rights Not Exclusive. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Organization, By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation, acting through its Board of Directors, may enter into agreements with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or greater than the indemnification rights set forth in this Article. Section 7. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another organization or employee benefit plan against any expense or liability incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of the status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense or liability under Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws. Section 8. Insurance Offset. The Corporation's obligation to provide indemnification under this Article shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Corporation or any other person. Section 9. Amendment. Without the consent of a person entitled to the indemnification and other rights provided in this rticle (unless otherwise required by Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws), no amendment modifying or terminating such rights shall adversely affect such person's rights under this Article with respect to the period prior to such Amendment. Section 10. Mergers, Etc. If the Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the Corporation is not the surviving corporation, or if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation are acquired by any other corporation, or in the event of any other similar reorganization involving the -6- 78 Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Corporation shall assume the obligations of the Corporation under this Article, through the date of such merger, consolidation, sale or reorganization, with respect to each person who is entitled to indemnification rights under this Article as of such date. Section 11. Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any liabilities and expenses with respect to any action, suit or proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. Section 12. Definitions. As used in this Article, the term "director", "officer" and "person" include their respective heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives, and an "interested" director is one against whom in such capacity the proceedings in question or another proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then pending. FURTHER VOTED: That Article 6 of the Articles of Organization of the Corporation shall be amended by adding new Article 6D, to read as follows: 6D. LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY To the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws, as it may be amended from time to time, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability. The foregoing amendment will become effective when these articles of Amendment are filed in accordance with Chapter 156B, Section 6 of The General Laws unless these articles specify, in accordance with the vote adopting the amendment, a later effective date not more than thirty days after such filing, in which event the amendment will become effective on such later date. -7- 79 IN WITNESS WHEREOF AND UNDER THE PENALTIES OF PERJURY, we have hereto signed our names this 27th day of March, in the year 1987 /s/ Joseph M.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have assisted in the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to 6,900,000 shares of Common Stock, $.16 2/3 par value per
share (the "Shares"), of Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the
"Company"), issuable under the Company's Amended 1988 Stock Option Plan (as
amended, the "Plan").

     We have examined the Restated Articles of Organization and the By-Laws of
the Company, and all amendments thereto, the Registration Statement and
originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records of meetings
of the directors and stockholders of the Company, and such other documents and
instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to
render the opinions expressed below.

     In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted
to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals
of such latter documents.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares covered by the Registration Statement to be issued under the Plan have
been duly and validly authorized for issuance, and when issued and paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       HALE AND DORR
