Re: Form S-8 Registration Statement; Commission File No. 000-25845
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Centre Capital Corporation (the "Company") in
connection with the registration by the Company of 800,000 shares of its common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Securities"), as contemplated by the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on the date hereof with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
In connection therewith, we have examined, among other things, the Articles
of Incorporation of the Company, the corporate proceedings of the Company with
respect to the issuance and registration of the Securities, the Registration
Statement, certificates of public officials, statutes and other instruments and
documents, as a basis for the opinions expressed herein.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and upon such other matters as we
have determined to be relevant, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.
2. All of the Securities, upon issuance and delivery thereof, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
JACKSON WALKER L.L.P.
