RE: Sale of Intellectual Property Agreement (the "Agreement")
Between ARP BioMed, Ltd. ("ARP") and Gammacan Ltd. ("Gammacan")

We are intellectual property counsel for ARP and have acted as counsel in connection with the execution and delivery by ARP of the Agreement. We have examined the law and such documents and records as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion.

We have assumed the accuracy and truthfulness of all public records and of all certifications, documents and other proceedings examined by us that have been executed or certified by public officials acting within the scope of their official capacities, and we have not independently verified the accuracy or truthfulness thereof. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures appearing upon such public records, certifications, documents and proceedings.

We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

Our opinion concerning any law in a jurisdiction other than Jurisdiction of Opining Firm] is our representation that we have received that opinion from associate counsel qualified to practice in that jurisdiction and that we know of no reason to reject the associate counsel's opinion.

Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each capitalized term used in this opinion will have the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement.

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing, it is our opinion, as of the date hereof, that:

1. All applications and registrations are in good standing for Intellectual Property that has been explicitly identified in Schedule "5" - Explicitly Scheduled Intellectual Property.

2. APR is identified in the competent intellectual property registry as the current registered owner of each such application and registration.

3. No Encumbrance is recorded against any such application or registration in either the competent intellectual property registry or List of Personal Property Security Registries to be searched.]

4. We have no reason to believe that any such application is not registerable.

5. We have no reason to believe that any such registration is not valid.

6. We have no reason to believe that any such registration is being infringed or that any such application would presently be infringed had it already proceeded to registration.

7. We have no reason to believe that the conduct of the Business or the making, using, or selling of any Business Asset or Embodiment will infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.
