Gentlemen:
I currently serve as Corporate Secretary for RoomStore, Inc. (the Company), as well as primary outside legal counsel. I have been requested to render an opinion regarding the 7,006,520 shares of common stock of the Company, to be registered under RoomStore Inc.s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the Registration Statement). In connection with this request, I have examined: (a) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, (b) the Bylaws of the Company, as amended (c) the Registration Statement, (d) various meeting minutes and consents of the Companys Board of Directors, and (e) such other Company records and documents that I deemed relevant.
Based on this review, it is my opinion that: (a) RoomStore, Inc. is a Virginia corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, and (b) when sold, the 7,006,520 of shares covered by the Registration Statement will be legally issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration Statement, including the reproduction of this opinion as an exhibit in the Companys Registration Statement. I also consent to being named in the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/ Brian D. Bertonneau |
