Re: Alternate Energy Corp.
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentlemen:
I have been requested by Alternate Energy Corp. (the "Registrant") to
furnish an opinion as to matters hereinafter set forth in connection with the
Registration Statement on Form S-8,covering a total of 1,055,000 shares of
common stock, which shares are being issued for services by the named officers,
directors and consultants to the Registrant.
In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed the filings of the
Registrant incorporated by reference in the registration statement, and have
determined that the Registrant is current in its reporting requirements under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. I have further determined that the shares
have been legally issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
Registrant. Further, the Registrant has duly authorized the issuance of the
shares and the filing of this Registration Statement on Form S-8.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
registration statement relating to the Securities and to the reference to us
under the heading "Validity of Common Stock" in the Prospectus. In giving such
consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.
Very truly yours,
JONATHAN D. LEINWAND, P.A.
