Dear Sir:

Re:

Private Placement of Common Shares

Clarus Securities Inc. (the “Underwriter”) understands that Sonic Environmental Solutions Inc. (the “Corporation”) proposes to issue and sell units in the capital of the Corporation (the “Units”) by way of an underwritten private placement (the “Offering”) at $0.45 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Corporation (the “Common Shares”) and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.60 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined below).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Underwriter agrees to purchase and by its acceptance hereof, the Corporation agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriter, the Units at the Closing Time (as hereinafter defined).

The Corporation agrees and understands that although this offer is presented on behalf of the Underwriter as purchaser, the Underwriter, with the prior written consent of the Corporation which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, will be permitted to appoint other registered dealers (“Sub-Dealers”) duly qualified in their respective jurisdictions, and the Underwriter and such Sub-Dealers may arrange for substituted purchasers of the Units (“Substituted Purchasers”) to purchase the Units directly from the Corporation. The Underwriter may determine the remuneration payable to any such other dealers appointed by them, provided that such remuneration is payable by the Underwriter from, and not in addition to, the remuneration payable to the Underwriter pursuant hereto. The obligations of the Underwriter to purchase the Units will be reduced by the number of Units with respect to which duly completed and executed Subscription Agreements (as defined below) are delivered by the Underwriter to the Corporation on behalf of qualified Substituted Purchasers and which Units are purchased by such qualified Substituted Purchasers at Closing.

The Units will be offered to purchasers resident in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec (the “Qualifying Jurisdictions”) on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of Applicable Securities Laws (as hereinafter defined), and any other jurisdiction in which the Units may be offered under exemptions from the applicable prospectus and registration requirements.

In consideration of the services to be rendered by the Underwriter in connection with its services hereunder and all other matters in connection with the issue and sale of the Units, the Corporation shall pay and deliver to the Underwriter at Closing (as hereinafter defined) the compensation provided for in accordance with Section 5 hereof.

(a)

Indemnity

The Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless the Underwriter, its affiliates and each of its respective directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, subsidiaries, agents and any Person who may control any of the Underwriter (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all liabilities, claims, actions (including shareholder actions, derivative or otherwise), suits, proceedings, losses, costs, damages and expenses of whatever nature or kind, joint or several, including without limitation the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims and the reasonable fees, expenses and taxes of their counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any action, suit, proceedings, investigation or claim (collectively “Claims”) that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party or in enforcing this Agreement (including the indemnity provisions thereof) or to which any Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity insofar as the Claims relate to, and caused by, result from, arise out of or based upon, directly or indirectly, the Offering or the engagement of the Underwriter under the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Claims in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from, or in consequence of:

	(iii)	any omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Documents or in any certificate or other document of the Corporation delivered under or pursuant to this Agreement any fact (except facts relating solely to the Underwriter or any of its directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents) required to be stated in such document or necessary to make any statement in such document not misleading in light of the circumstances under which it was made;

	(iv)	any order made or enquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any securities regulator or other competent authority (A) based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation in any Disclosure Document (except a statement or omission or alleged statement or omission relating solely to the Underwriter or any of its directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents), (B) based upon any failure of the Corporation or its officers and directors to comply with Applicable Securities Laws and the laws of those jurisdictions in which the Units are offered and sold (other than any failure or alleged failure to comply by the Underwriter or any of its directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents), or (C) preventing or restricting the trading in or the sale or distribution of the Units in the Qualifying Jurisdictions (other than any failure or alleged failure to comply by the Underwriter or any of its directors, officers, employees, shareholders or agents); or

Notification of Claims

If any Claim is asserted against an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party will notify the Corporation as soon as possible of the nature of such Claim (provided that any failure to so notify shall not relieve the Corporation from liability, except and only to the extent that the failure materially prejudices the Corporation) and the Corporation shall be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such Claim; provided, however, that the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, and that no settlement of any such Claim may be made by the Corporation or the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Claim unless it has consented in writing to such settlement.

(c)

(d)

Retaining Counsel

(e)

Settlements

The Corporation will not, without the Underwriter’s prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes a release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim.

(f)

Compensation for Personnel Time

The Corporation agrees to reimburse the Underwriter monthly for the time spent by its personnel in connection with any Claim at their normal per diem rates. The Corporation also agrees that if any action, suit, proceeding or claim shall be brought against, or an investigation commenced in respect of the Corporation or the Corporation and the Underwriter, and personnel of the Underwriter shall be required to testify, participate or respond in respect of or in connection with the Offering or this Agreement, the Underwriter shall have the right to employ its own counsel in connection therewith and the Corporation will reimburse the Underwriter monthly for the time spent by its personnel in connection therewith at their normal per diem rates together

- 21 -

with such disbursements and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as may be incurred, including fees and disbursement of the Underwriter’s counsel.

12.

(a)

Contribution

In order to provide for a just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 11 would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the Underwriter or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Corporation and the Underwriter shall contribute to the aggregate of all claims, expenses, costs and liabilities (including any legal expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any claim which is the subject of this section) and all losses (other than loss of profits) of a nature contemplated in Section 11 in such proportions so that the Underwriter is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the aggregate fee payable by the Corporation to the Underwriter bear to the aggregate purchase price of the Units and the Corporation is responsible for the balance. The Underwriter shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amounts in excess of such aggregate fee actually received by the Underwriter. However, no party who has engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct or gross negligence shall be entitled to claim contribution from any Person who has not engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b)

(the “Corporation”) in connection with the issue and sale by the Corporation of 10,064,000 units (the “Units”) of the Corporation (the “Offering”) at a price of $0.45 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Corporation (“Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) of the Corporation, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between the Corporation and Clarus Securities Inc. (the “Underwriter”) dated April 30, 2007. In connection with the issue and sale of the Units, the Corporation has entered into a subscription agreement (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with each subscriber for Units (the “Subscribers”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share in the capital of the Corporation (the “Warrant Shares”) at a price of $0.60 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering pursuant to a share purchase warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) between the Corporation and Pacific Corporate Trust Company (the “Trustee”) dated April 30, 2007.

We understand that in connection with the Offering the Corporation intends to issue to the Underwriter an irrevocable warrant to purchase 1,006,400 units of the Corporation (the “Broker Units”) at a price of $0.45 each, each Broker Unit consisting of one Common Share and one half of one Warrant, with each such Warrant exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.60 per Common Share.

This opinion is being provided pursuant to paragraph 7(b) of the Underwriting Agreement and, unless the context otherwise requires or otherwise provided herein, all capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Underwriting Agreement.

We have also examined such corporate records of the Corporation, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers of the Corporation, and other documents and have made such other searches and examinations and considered such questions of law as we have considered necessary in order to give the opinions expressed below.

Assumptions and Limitations

We have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the legal capacity of all individuals; (iii) the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; and (iv) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photocopied or facsimiled copies.

The opinions expressed below are given as of the date of this letter and are not prospective. We disclaim any obligation to advise the addressees or any other person of any change in law or any fact which may come or be brought to our attention after the date of this letter.

Wherever used, the expression “to our knowledge” means those lawyers in our firm who have given substantive legal services to the Corporation have no actual knowledge and received no information which cause them to believe that the statements qualified by that expression are not correct, but does not include constructive knowledge of matters or information. In particular, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts and any limited enquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be regarded as such investigation.

For the purposes of rendering our opinion in paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 hereof as they relate to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein and for the purposes of our opinion in paragraph 14, we have relied exclusively on the Ontario Opinion.
The assumptions, conditions, qualifications and limitations contained in the Ontario Opinion are hereby incorporated by reference into, and form part of, this opinion. Except to the extent that this opinion is rendered in reliance on the Ontario Opinion, we express no opinion as to any laws, or matters governed by any laws, other than the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update these opinions to take into account any changes in such laws or facts after the date hereof.

1.	Each of the Corporation, SESI Systems Inc. (“SESI”), Contech PCB Containment Technology Inc. (“Contech”) and SonoOil Inc.

2.	The Corporation has the corporate power and capacity to enter into the Documents and to perform its obligations set out therein.

4.	The execution and delivery of the Documents and the fulfilment of the terms thereof by the Corporation and the performance of and compliance with the terms of the Documents by the Corporation do not and will not result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, and do not and will not create a state of facts which, after notice or lapse of time or both, will result in a breach of or constitute a default under (i) any applicable laws of British Columbia or the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, (ii) any term or provision of the notice of articles, articles or resolutions of the directors or shareholders of the Corporation, (iii) to our knowledge, any mortgage, note, indenture, contract, agreement (written or oral), instrument, lease or other document to which the Corporation is a party or by which it is bound on the date hereof, or (iv) to our knowledge, any judgment, decree or order applicable to the Corporation, which default or breach might reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business, operations, capital or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Corporation of its properties or assets or assets (taken as a whole).

QUALIFICATIONS

The opinions expressed herein are subject to the following qualifications and limitations:

1.	The enforceability of the obligations of the parties to the Documents and the rights and remedies set out therein and any judgment arising out of or in connection therewith (and the priority of any rights arising thereunder) are subject to and may be limited by:

	(a)	applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, winding-up, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium, preference and other similar laws and judicial decisions from time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of rights and remedies of creditors;

- 7 -

	(d)	the general principles of equity, whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and no opinion is expressed as to the availability of any specific remedy that may be granted, imposed or rendered or as to the availability of the remedy of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in any particular instance.

2.	Provisions in the Documents that provide for the recovery of fees and expenses may be unenforceable to the extent that they would require a party to pay any amounts to another person in respect of fines, penalties or costs levied against or imposed upon such person, or exceeding those awarded to or recoverable by such person, pursuant to applicable laws or the order of a court.

3.	We express no opinion on the enforceability of provisions in the Documents which purport to allow severance of an invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the applicable agreement since such provision may only be enforced in the discretion of a court.

5.	The effectiveness of provisions which purport to relieve a person from a liability or duty otherwise owed may be limited by law, and provisions requiring indemnification or reimbursement of a person may be deemed contrary to public policy and may otherwise not be enforced by a court, to the extent that they relate to or arise as a result of the failure of such person to have performed a duty (contractual or otherwise) or from the breach of contract, tort or other wrongful act of such person.

- 8 -

6.	Canadian courts will not give monetary judgment in any currency other than that of Canada and such judgment may be based on a rate of exchange in existence on a day other than the date of payment of such judgment.

7.	Determinations or demands made pursuant to the Documents in the exercise of discretion purported to be given to any person in, under or by the Documents may be unenforceable if made in an unreasonable or arbitrary fashion.

The above opinions are rendered solely to the persons to whom they are addressed in connection with the above transaction, and may not be used, circulated, quoted from or otherwise referred to for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by any other person without our written consent.

Re:

This opinion is furnished in connection with Sonic Environmental Solutions Corporation, a California corporation (“Company”).

This opinion letter is provided at Company’s request.

We understand that in this transaction, and in the review and acceptance of this opinion letter, you are represented by independent counsel of their choosing with expertise in the relevant subject matter.

1.	Factual Examination.

1.1 Documents. In the preparation of this opinion, we have examined only the following documents (“Company Documents”):

(a) the Articles of Incorporation of Company certified by the California Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Company (“Articles of Incorporation”);

(b) the Bylaws of Company, dated September 16, 2005, as certified by the Secretary of Company (“Bylaws”);

1.2

Scope of Inquiry; Certain Assumptions.

(a) For purposes of this opinion, we have examined only the Company Documents. We have assumed the correctness of all factual matters set forth therein. We have not conducted any: (i) investigation or examination of factual matters; (ii) investigation or examination of the title to, or nature or extent of, any real or personal property, or inspection of any such property; or (iii) docket or other search of the records of any court, administrative tribunal, recording or filing office, or other public entity.

(b) In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures (if any) on all documents reviewed by us; (ii) that the copies of the Company Documents provided to us are complete and correct copies which conform to authentic original documents, and contain the entire agreement of the parties thereto, that there are no other documents or oral agreements or other circumstances that would in any way alter the provisions of the Company Documents, and that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect thereto; (iii) that each natural person executing or who has executed the Company Documents is or was competent to do so; (iv) the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of all certificates on which we have relied, and that any such certificates dated as of an earlier date are still accurate as of the date hereof; (v) that Company has filed all required franchise tax returns, if any, and paid all required taxes, if any, under the applicable California statutes and under any other applicable governmental rule; (vi) all statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of governmental agencies constituting the laws which are the subject of this opinion letter, as set forth in Section 4, are generally available (i.e., in terms of access and distribution following publication or other release) to lawyers practicing in the State of California, and are in a format that makes legal research reasonably feasible; and (vii) the constitutionality or validity of a relevant statute, rule, regulation or agency action is not in issue unless a reported decision in the jurisdiction(s) whose laws are the subject of this opinion letter, as set forth in Section 4, has specifically addressed but not resolved, or has established, its unconstitutionality or invalidity.

(c) Where we render an opinion “to our knowledge” or concerning an item “known to us” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it means that: (i) we have conducted no independent investigation of the matters set forth in connection therewith; (ii) we have

- 11 -

not conducted a litigation search or other search or investigation with respect to any pending items of litigation or orders or decrees; (iii) with respect to factual matters we have relied solely upon the statements, representations and warranties set forth in the Secretary’s Certificate and the Officers’ Certificate; (iv) by your acceptance of this opinion letter you acknowledge that you have also relied upon certifications of Company or other due diligence conducted by you and you have not relied solely on this opinion letter as to such matters; and (v) no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of facts or other matters is to be drawn from the fact of our representation or any other matter; but that, during and in the course of our representation of Company in connection with this transaction, no information has come to the attention of the attorneys who rendered legal services in connection with that representation (namely, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxx) as of the date hereof which gives us current actual knowledge to the contrary.

2. Opinion. On the basis of the foregoing, but subject to the additional qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof:

2.1 The Company is a corporation duly formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

2.2 The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business.

2.3 Based solely on our review of the Stock Ledger, all outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are owned by Sonic Environmental Solutions Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the “Parent Company”), and to our knowledge, all outstanding equity securities of Company are owned by the Parent Company.

3. Qualifications, Assumptions and Limitations. Our opinion above is subject to and limited by the following qualifications, assumptions and limitations, in addition to those set forth elsewhere in this letter:

3.1 The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, marshaling and other laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally.

3.2 The effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought, and including limitations of law or equity upon the availability of specific enforcement, injunctive relief, other equitable remedies or any particular remedy at law.

3.3 In rendering the opinion set forth in Section 2.3 relating to the ownership of outstanding securities of Company, we have relied, without further investigation, solely on our review of the Stock Ledger and the Officers’ Certificate.
