Public Auction Systems, Inc.

Mr. Corey Schlossmann

13005 E. Temple Avenue

City of Industry, CA

Re: Entrade Inc.

Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Entrade Inc. (“Entrade”), a Pennsylvania corporation, in connection with that certain Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) made and entered into as of the day of May 2006, by and among Don Haidl (“Haidl”), Public Auction Systems, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“PAS”), Corey P. Schlossmann (“Schlossmann”), the Capital Direct 1999 Trust and the Core Capital IV Trust, both California trusts (collectively, the “Trusts”), Public Auction Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PAS”), Hearthstone Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Hearthstone”) and together with Haidl, Schlossmann, the Trusts and PAS, the “Lender Parties”), Entrade, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Entrade”), and Public Liquidation Systems, Inc. (“PLS”) and Asset Liquidation Group, Inc. (“ALG”), both Nevada corporations collectively doing business as Nationwide Auction Systems (“Nationwide”). We have reviewed the Settlement Agreement and all Exhibits thereto. Pursuant to Section 2A(ii) thereof, a legal opinion from Entrade’s legal counsel is required under the Settlement Agreement and, as such, Entrade has requested our opinion with respect to the issues related thereto. This opinion is delivered solely for your benefit and may not be distributed to any other person without our prior written consent.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity of all originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures of the persons signing all documents reviewed in connection with this opinion, the authority of such person signing on behalf of the parties thereto, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto. Please note that we did not represent Entrade in the negotiations, preparation or documentation of any of the agreements associated with the Settlement Agreement.

We have made such investigations of statutory and regulatory materials (including, but not limited to, Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the regulations thereunder) that we deemed relevant in connection with the delivery of this opinion. We have relied, without independent investigation, upon such certificates of public officials and/or officers of Entrade and have examined such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for our opinion set forth herein. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term or terms in the Settlement Agreement.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

PAS’ holding period for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), with respect to the PAS Penalty Shares either: (i) issued prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement or (ii) required to be issued pursuant to the PAS Entrade Note or the Settlement Agreement but not yet actually issued, commenced, or shall commence, as the case may be, on the date such PAS Penalty Shares were earned under the PAS Entrade Note, whether or not the PAS Penalty Shares were actually issued.

Schlossmann’s holding period for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), with respect to the Schlossmann Penalty Shares either: (i) issued prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement or (ii) required to be issued pursuant to the Schlossmann Entrade Note or the Settlement Agreement but not yet actually issued, commenced, or shall commence, as the case may be, on the date such Schlossmann Penalty Shares were earned under the Schlossmann Entrade Note, whether or not the Schlossmann Penalty Shares were actually issued.

3.

The determination of the Independent Appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties.

4. This Amendment shall be limited solely to the matters expressly set forth herein and shall not, except to the extent expressly set forth herein, constitute an amendment of any other term or condition of the Agreement or otherwise modify the Agreement.

5. This Amendment shall become effective upon the Effective Date.

A facsimile of an executed copy of this Amendment shall have the same force and effect as an original executed copy.

2. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended to June 1, 2007. In addition, the Terms shall be automatically extended for four (4) additional successive one (1) year periods provided that Tenant timely makes each and every required monthly rental payment under the Lease for the twelve month period immediately preceding the date of the applicable automatic extension (or if Landlord, at the request of Tenant, waives in writing Tenant’s failure to make any such required payment).

Gentlemen:

This Letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 2B(ii) of that certain Settlement Agreement 2006 by and among Don Haidl (“Haidl”), Public Auction Systems, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“PAS”), Corey P. Schlossmann (“Schlossmann”), the Capital Direct 1999 Trust and the Core Capital IV Trust, both California trusts (collectively, the “Trusts”), Public Auction Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“PAS”), Hearthstone Properties, LLC, a limited liability company (“Hearthstone”) and together with Haidl, Schlossmann, the Trusts and PAS, the “Lender Parties”), Entrade, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Entrade”), and Public Liquidation Systems, Inc. (“PLS”) and Asset Liquidation Group, Inc. (“ALG”), both Nevada corporations collectively doing business as Nationwide Auction Systems (“Nationwide”) (the “Settlement Agreement”). The execution and delivery of this letter is required by Section 2B(ii) of the Settlement Agreement.

The undersigned has subscribed for [insert subscription amount] (the “Entrade Private Placement Investment” in a private placement of Entrade securities (the “Entrade Private Placement”).

Entrade has advised the undersigned that it intends to seek from all investors in the Entrade Private Placement (collectively, the “Entrade Private Placement Investors” and individually, an “Entrade Private Placement Investor”) a consent and waiver (the “Proposed Waiver”) relating to the Entrade Private Placement. The Proposed Waiver will include, among other things, a request by Entrade that each Private Placement Investor agrees to:

•

waive any and all defaults in connection with their Entrade Private Placement Investment, including, but not limited to: (i) any failure by Entrade to comply with the terms of the associated private placement memorandum and any associated document, including without limitation, the defaults, if any, caused by the consummation of the transaction between Entrade, the undersigned and James Clapp in February, 2005, (ii) any failure by Entrade to identify a collateral agent, to effectuate the pledge of the stock of Nationwide required of Entrade in favor of the Private Placement Investors, or any other matter related to the intended collateral, (iii) failure to timely issue the notes and warrants representing the

initial investment in the Entrade Private Placement, or the notes and warrants required to be issued upon extension of the initial notes; (iv) any failure pay interest or principal on any debt instrument, (v) failure to timely issue any required extension notice, which tardy notice will be consented to in the Proposed Waiver, (vi) failure to timely issue any required warrant to purchase Entrade common stock required to be issued by Entrade and (vii) such other similar performance defaults or potential defaults as may be later identified in the Proposed Waiver;

•

if included in the Proposed Waiver, consent to the extension of the maturity date of all notes issued in connection with the Entrade Private Placement a (“Private Placement Restructuring”). Any such extension would have the effect of creating uniform maturity and interest payment dates for all Entrade Private Placement Investors. To the extent that any additional consideration is provided by Entrade (but the undersigned hereby agrees that it has already received consideration for this letter and that no such additional consideration will be required as a condition to executing the Proposed Waiver) to the Entrade Private Placement Investors in connection with the Private Placement Restructuring, all Private Placement Investors will be treated equally, on a pro-rata basis, except that the undersigned acknowledges that the Company may provide consideration of any variety and in any amount, proportionate or otherwise, to James Clapp without violating the terms of this letter or the Proposed Waiver.

The undersigned covenants and agrees that he, she or it will promptly and timely execute any Proposed Waiver that materially comports with the terms set forth in this letter, without further consideration.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that either (i) 50% or more of the Entrade Private Placement Investors or (ii) Entrade Private Placement Investors representing 50% or more of the aggregate amount subscribed by the Entrade Private Placement Investors execute the Proposed Waiver, then such action shall be deemed conclusive proof, not subject to challenge, that the Proposed Waiver comports in material respects with this letter and the undersigned shall be required to execute the Proposed Waiver.

In the event that Entrade does not receive, on or before December 31, 2006, an executed Proposed Waiver from Entrade Private Placement Investors representing at least 75% of the total amounts subscribed for in the Entrade Private Placement (not including the undersigned, or any other party to the Settlement Agreement), then the undersigned shall be relieved of any and all obligations under this letter.

The undersigned agrees to take such additional actions and execute such additional documents as may be reasonably requested by Entrade in order to effectuate the purposes of this letter and the Proposed Waiver.
