Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned hereby undertakes:
(1)(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
<PAGE>
(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;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if
the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and 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 the Registration Statement.
(b) 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.
(c) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(2) 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 that 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: Legal Opinion for Greenland Corporation
S-8 Registration Statement
Dear Mr. Swanson:
At your request, I have examined the form of Registration Statement No.
333-____________ which Greenland Corporation (the "Company") is filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"),
in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of 537,709 shares of your Common Stock (the "Stock") issuable pursuant
to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan and various Agreements for Consulting
Services (collectively the "Agreements").
In rendering the following opinion, I have examined and relied only
upon the documents and certificates of officers and directors of the Company as
are specifically described below. In my examination, I have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of
the documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity with the original
documents of all documents submitted to me as copies. My examination was limited
to the following documents and no others:
1. Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date;
2. Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date;
3. Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company
authorizing the issuance of the Stock pursuant to the Agreements.
4. The Registration Statement.
5. The Agreements.
I have not undertaken, nor do I intend to undertake, any independent
investigation beyond such documents and records, or to verify the adequacy or
accuracy of such documents and records.
Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Stock to be issued
under the Agreements, subject to effectiveness of the Registration Statement and
compliance with applicable blue sky laws, and execution of the Agreements in the
form referred to herein, when issued pursuant to the Agreements, will be duly
and validly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable.
<PAGE>
I express no opinion as to compliance with the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any state in which the Stock is proposed to be offered and sold or as to
the effect, if any, which non-compliance with such laws might have on the
validity of issuance of the Stock.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to any filing
made with the Securities and Exchange Commission or under any state or other
jurisdiction's securities act for the purpose of registering, qualifying or
establishing eligibility for an exemption from registration or qualification of
the Stock described in the Registration Statement in connection with the
offering described therein. Other than as provided in the preceding sentence,
this opinion (i) is addressed solely to you, (ii) may not be relied upon by any
other party, (iii) covers only matters of Nevada and federal law and nothing in
this opinion shall be deemed to imply any opinion related to the laws of any
other jurisdiction, (iv) may not be quoted or reproduced or delivered by you to
any other person, and (v) may not be relied upon for any other purpose
whatsoever. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relate to or constitute an opinion
concerning any matters not specifically set forth above.
By giving you this opinion and consent, I do not admit that I am an
expert with respect to any part of the Registration Statement or Prospectus
within the meaning of the term "expert" as used in Section 11 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
The information set forth herein is as of the date of this letter. I
disclaim any undertaking to advise you of changes, which may be brought to my
attention after the effective date of the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
THOMAS BEENER
Attorney at Law
