the Securities Act, in which event any commissions or discounts received by
such broker-dealers, agents or underwriters and any profit on the resale of the

commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

     The Company is paying all expenses incident to the offer and sale of the
Shares offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders to the public, other than
selling commissions and fees.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
     The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 145 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, which provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery
or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite an adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent
permitted by the law of the State of Delaware.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company's
directors shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that
exculpation from liability is not permitted under the Delaware General
Corporation Law as in effect at the time such liability is determined.

     The Company maintains an indemnification insurance policy covering all
directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Item 17. Undertakings
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted against such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

       (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

       (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

       (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering; and

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to

PhyMatrix Corp.

West Palm Beach, Florida

Gentlemen:

        Reference is made to that certain Registration Statement on Form S-3
(the "Registration Statement"), which PhyMatrix Corp., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), is filing on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
with respect to the resale of up to 1,657,560 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), to be offered from time to time
by the holders of the Shares which will be listed in amendments to said
Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus which is a part thereof.

        We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the
Registration Statement. We have examined original or certified copies of the
Articles of Organization of the Company, as amended and restated, the Company's
By-laws, the corporate records of the Company to the date hereof, certificates
of public officials and such other documents, records and materials as we have
deemed necessary in connection with this opinion letter. Based upon the
foregoing, and in reliance upon information from time to time furnished to us by
the Company's officers, directors and agents, we are of the opinion that the
Shares have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

        We understand that this opinion letter is to be used in connection with
the Registration Statement, as finally amended, and hereby consent to the filing
of this opinion letter with and as a part of the Registration Statement as so
amended, and to the reference to our firm in the Prospectus under the heading
"Legal Matters." It is understood that this opinion letter is to be used in
connection with the resale of the aforesaid shares of Common Stock only while
the Registration Statement is effective and as it may be amended from time to
time as contemplated by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.


                                 Very truly yours,

                                 /s/ Nutter, McClennen & Fish, LLP
                                 ---------------------------------

Statement of PhyMatrix Corp. on Form S-3 (File No. 333-      ) of our report
