ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this 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.
(4) To file a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement to include any financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of
Regulation S-X at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous
offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any 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 this

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the

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 by 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Form S-8 Registration Statement; Commission File No. 2-73389
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel for UNICORP, Inc. (the "Company") in connection
with the registration by the Company of 25,000 shares of its common stock, par
value $0.01 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, I have examined, among other things, the
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, 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 I have determined to be relevant, I am 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 non-assessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Norman T. Reynolds
