Attention:

Re: Phantom Fiber Corporation
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
 
[We are][I am] counsel to Phantom Fiber Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the "Holders") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders senior secured convertible notes (the "Notes") convertible into the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on January ___, 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-_____________) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling shareholder thereunder.
 
In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC's staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
This letter shall serve as our standing opinion to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company's Irrevocable Transfer
 



Agent Instructions dated January __, 2006.
