filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration statement which
indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold, or which
registers all securities then remaining unsold under this registration
statement, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration
statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The authorized capital stock of Registrant consists of one hundred twenty
million shares (120,000,000), par value $.001 per share, of which one hundred
fifteen million, (115,000,000) shares are designated Common Stock par value
$.001 per share, and five million (5,000,000) shares are designated Class A
Stock, par value $.001 per share. As at May 10, 1999 there were eighty seven
million, four hundred twenty eight thousand, seven hundred seventy nine
(87,428,779) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Class A Stock
may be issued from time to time, in one or more classes, or one or more series
within any class thereof, in any manner permitted by law, as determined from
time to time by Registrant's board of directors, and stated in the resolution or
resolutions providing for the issuance of such shares adopted by Registrant's
board of directors pursuant to authority vested in it in Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation, each class or series to be appropriately
designated, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof, by some distinguishing
letter, number designation or title. All shares of stock in
2
<PAGE>
such classes or series may be issued for such consideration and have such voting
powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and shall have such designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, permitted by law, as shall
be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions, providing for the
issuance of such shares adopted by Registrant's board of directors pursuant to
authority vested in Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation. The number of
shares of stock of any class or series within any class, so set forth in such
resolution or resolutions may be increased (but not above the total number of
authorized shares) or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then
outstanding) by further resolution or resolutions adopted by Registrant's board
of directors pursuant to authority vested in it in Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation.
Registrant's board of directors may determine the times when, the terms
under which and the consideration for which Registrant shall issue, dispose of
or receive subscriptions for its shares, including treasury shares, or acquire
its own shares. The consideration for the issuance of the shares shall be paid
in full before their issuance and shall not be less than the par value per
share. Upon payment of such consideration, such shares shall be deemed to be
fully paid and nonassessable by Registrant.
The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when and
as declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available therefore
and, upon liquidation, are entitled to share pro rata in any distribution to
shareholders. Holders of the Common Stock have one non-cumulative vote for each
share hold. There are no pre-emptive, conversion or redemption privileges, nor
sinking fund provisions, with respect to the Common Stock.
Stockholders are entitled to one vote of each share of Common Stock held
of record on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The Common Stock does
not have cumulative voting rights. As a result, the holders of more than 50% of
the shares of Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of
the directors if they choose to do so, and, in such event, the holders of the
remaining shares of Common Stock will not be able to elect any person or persons
to the board of directors of Registrant.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Frances Katz Levine, counsel to the Registrant, is employed by Registrant
as its corporate and securities counsel. As at May 10, 1999 Ms. Levine and her
husband, Robert Levine, were the record and beneficial owners of approximately
6.1% of the Registrant's issued and outstanding common stock. Scott Rapfogel,
counsel to the Registrant, is employed by Registrant as its assistant corporate
and securities counsel. Mr. Rapfogel is the record and beneficial owner of less
than 1% of the Registrant's issued and outstanding common stock.

<PAGE>
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification to
the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law ("Section 145"). Pursuant thereto, the Company indemnifies its officers,
directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted for losses and
expenses incurred by them in connection with actions in which they are involved
by reason of their having been directors, officers, employees, or agents of the
Company. Section 145 permits a corporation to indemnify any person who is or has
been a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or who is or has
been serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
organization, or enterprise at the request of the corporation, against all
liability and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and
disbursements and amounts paid in settlement or in satisfaction of judgments or
as fines or penalties) incurred or paid in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or
otherwise, in which he or she may be involved by reason of the fact that he or
she served or is serving in these capacities, if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no cause o believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case
of a claim, action, suit or proceeding made or brought by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a recovery or judgment in its favor, the corporation
shall not indemnify such person in respect of any claim issue or matter as to
which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation for
negligence or misconduct int he performance of his or her duty to the
corporation, except for such expenses as the Court may allow. Any such person
who has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise with respect to any
such claim, action, suit or proceeding or with respect to any claim, issue or
matter therein, shall be indemnified as of right against all expenses in
connection therewith or resulting therefrom. The effect of this provision in the
certificate of incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant and
its stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of the
Registrant) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or
grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described above.
The Company's By-laws provide for indemnification of the Company's
officers and directors against all liabilities (including reasonable costs,
expenses, attorney's fees, obligations for payment in settlement and final
judgment) incurred by or imposed upon them in the preparation, conduct or
compromise of any actual or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, or administrative, including any appeals therefrom and any
collateral proceedings in which they shall be involved by reason of any action
or omission by them in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company,
or of any other corporation which they serve as a director or officer at the
request of the Company, whether or not such person is a director or officer at
the time such liabilities are incurred or any such action, suit, or proceeding
is commenced against them. The indemnification provided by the By-laws does not
extend, however, to certain situations involving misconduct, willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence.
4
<PAGE>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed
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 registrant of expenses incurred 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, 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.
Except to the extent hereinabove set forth, there is no charter provision,
by-law, contract, arrangement or statute pursuant to which any director or
officer of registrant is indemnified in any manner against any liability which
he may incur in his capacity as such.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being

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

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

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference 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

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 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.

<PAGE>
(c) 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 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion as counsel for The Tirex Corporation Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the public offering by the Company of up to four
hundred fifty four thousand, five hundred forty five (454,545) shares of Common
Stock of the Company (the "Shares"), $.001 par value, per share, issuable upon
the exercise of options granted under the Consulting Agreement dated January 1,
1999 between David Sinclair and The Tirex Corporation (the "Consulting
Agreement").
I have examined the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 in the
form to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about May 21,
1999 (the "Registration Statement"), the Consulting Agreement, the Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company as certified by the Secretary of State of the

the opinion hereafter expressed.
Based on the foregoing examination, it is my opinion, and I so advise,
that upon issuance and sale in the manner described in the Registrant Statement
and the exhibits thereto, the Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
