Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and By-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).  Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.  Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision which eliminates,  to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of the fiduciary duty of care or any other duty as a director.

Not applicable.

Re:
UnifiedOnline, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company")
 
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") ,
 
Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Registration Statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for the registration of 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), to be issued pursuant to restricted stock grants and/or upon exercise of options granted and to be granted under the Company’s  2015 Employee Option Plan (the “Plan”).

In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined the original, certified, conformed, photostat or other copies of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended, the Plan and various other agreements and option awards, corporate minutes provided to us by the Company and such other documents and instruments as we deemed necessary.  In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, and the conformity to originals or certified documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, photostat or other copies.  In passing upon certain corporate records and documents of the Company, we have necessarily assumed the correctness and completeness of the statements made or included therein by the Company, and we express no opinion thereon.

Subject to and in reliance upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be issued as restricted stock grants and/or upon exercise of options granted and to be granted under the Plan, when issued in accordance with the terms thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC.  In giving this opinion and such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Pearlman Schneider LLP
Pearlman Schneider LLP
