        Re:     Securities Purchase Agreement between CTI II Limited and MediaX
                Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 2(c)(vii) of the Securities
Purchase Agreement by and between CTI II Limited (the "Investor") and MediaX
Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), dated as of December 6, 2000
(the "Purchase Agreement"), which provides, among other things, for the issuance
and sale by the Company of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) of the
Company's securities and that certain Stock Purchase Warrant described in the
Purchase Agreement (the "Warrant") providing for the right to purchase up to one
million fifty-nine thousand three hundred twenty-two (1,059,322) shares of
Common Stock of the Company. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the negotiation of
the Purchase Agreement and all Exhibits thereto (collectively the "Agreements").
As counsel, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiry as we
have deemed advisable or necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In
addition, we have examined, among other things, originals or copies of such
corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials and such
other documents and questions of law that we consider necessary or advisable for
the purpose of rendering this opinion. In such examination we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity and
completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all copies submitted to us as copies thereof, the legal
capacity of natural persons, and the due execution and delivery of all documents
(except as to due execution and delivery by the Company) where due execution and
delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.

As used in this opinion, the expression "to our knowledge" refers to the
conscious awareness or actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have
worked on matters for the Company.

                                       3

For purposes of numbered paragraph 7 below, we have assumed that CTI II Limited
has all requisite power and authority, and has taken any and all necessary
corporate action, to execute and deliver the Agreements, and that the
representations and warranties made by CTI II Limited in the Agreements and
pursuant thereto are true and correct.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, and validly existing under the
laws of the State of Nevada and is in good standing under the laws of the State
of Nevada and the State of California and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to carry on its business and to own, lease and operate its properties
and assets and is duly qualified to transact business and in good standing in
each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, properties or prospects. To our
knowledge, the Company does not have any subsidiaries and does not own more than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding capital stock of or control any other
business entity.

2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Agreements, including, without limitation, the
issuance of the Securities. The execution and delivery of the Agreements by the
Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required. Each of the Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and each of the Agreements constitutes valid and binding obligations of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement
of, creditors' rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreements by the Company and
the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby,
including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities, do not and will
not (i) result in a violation of the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
Certificate of Designation (the Articles of Incorporation and the Certificate of
Designation are collectively referred to herein as the "Articles of
Incorporation") or Bylaws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a material default
(or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture, instrument or any "lock-up"
or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the
Company is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of any federal or state law,
rule or regulation applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset
of the Company is bound or affected, except for such violations as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect. To our
knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any terms of its Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws.

4. The Series A Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the Purchase
Agreement has been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery in accordance
with the

                                       4
<PAGE>   3

terms of the Purchase Agreement for the consideration expressed therein, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens,
encumbrances and preemptive or similar rights. The rights, preferences and
privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock are as stated in the Certificate of
Designation as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on
November 22, 2000.

5. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock has
been duly and validly reserved for issuance and, when and if issued upon such
conversion in connection with the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of any liens,
encumbrances and preemptive or similar rights.

6. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant has been duly and
validly reserved for issuance and, when and if issued upon exercise of all or
any portion of each of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and free of any liens, encumbrances and preemptive or similar
rights.

7. The offer and sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant, and issuance
of shares of Common Stock, upon conversion or exercise thereof, will be exempt
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be in
compliance with applicable state securities laws. Other than the filing of the
Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada and any
applicable federal and state securities related filings, no registration with,
consent or approval of, notice to, or other action by, any governmental entity
is required on the part of the Company for the execution, delivery or
performance by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements,
or if required, such registration has been made, such consent or approval has
been obtained, such notice has been given or such other appropriate action has
been taken.

8. To our knowledge, there are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations that are pending or threatened against the Company or its
properties, or against any officer or director of the Company in his or her
capacity as such, nor does the Company intend to initiate any of the above. To
our knowledge, the Company is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality.

9. The authorized capital stock of the Company, as of November 28, 2000,
consists of (i) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share,
of which 8,216,943 shares are issued and outstanding, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001, of which 1,059,322 shares are designated
as Series A Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding. All of
such issued and outstanding shares have been duly authorized and are fully paid
and non-assessable. No person has rescission rights with respect to any shares
of the Company's Common Stock. To our knowledge, and other than as disclosed in
the Schedule of Exceptions attached to the Purchase Agreement, there are no
outstanding options, rights or subscriptions to acquire the capital stock of the
Company or securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for, the
capital stock of the Company.

         the  Corporation,  under  any  employment,  consulting  or  acquisition
         agreements.

XVI.     Payments Due Missing Persons.

         A.       The Corporation  shall make a reasonable  effort to locate all
                  persons  entitled  to  benefits  under  this  Plan;   however,
                  notwithstanding  any  provisions of this Plan to the contrary,
                  if,  after a period of one year  from the date  such  benefits
                  shall be due, any such persons  entitled to benefits  have not
                  been  located,  their  rights  under  this  Plan  shall  stand
                  suspended.

XVII.    Incapacity.

         If the  Committee  shall  receive  evidence  satisfactory  to it that a
         person  entitled  to receive  payment of any Plan Award is, at the time
         when  such  benefit  becomes  payable,  a minor,  or is  physically  or
         mentally  incompetent  to  receive  such Plan Award and to give a valid
         release  thereof,  and that another  person or an  institution  is then
         maintaining  or has  custody  of such  person  and  that  no  guardian,
         committee  or other  representative  of the estate of such person shall
         have been duly  appointed,  the Committee may make payment of such Plan
         Award  otherwise  payable  to such  person  to  such  other  person  or
         institution, including a custodian under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act,
         or corresponding  legislation (who shall be an adult, a guardian of the
         minor or a trust  company),  and the  release by such  other  person or
         institution shall be a valid and complete  discharge for the payment of
         such Plan Award.

XVIII.   Evidence of Award.

         Each Plan Award may be evidenced by a signed  written  instrument  (the
         "Award  Indentures")   between  the  Corporation  and  the  Participant
         containing the terms and conditions of the award.

XIX.     Publication & Availability of Plan.

         A.       A current copy of this Plan and any  interpretative  and legal
                  materials  deemed  appropriate by the Committee  shall be made
                  generally  available to the potential Award recipients who, as
                  a  condition  to the  delivery  of an  Award  Indenture,  must
                  represent that they have had access to such materials and have
                  fully reviewed them.

         B.       The  foregoing  availability  requirements  will be met if the
                  subject materials are maintained on the Corporation's Internet
                  website and are accessible there to potential Award recipients
                  either  generally  or  through  use  of  a  password  actually
                  provided to them.

         C.       In the event the required  materials are not maintained on the
                  Corporation's   Internet  website,  then  they  must  be  made
                  available in hard copy to potential Award  recipients prior to
                  delivery of an Award Indenture.

                           is exercised.

                  2.       Such price  shall  be  payable in cash or pursuant to

                           hereof.

                           in payment of the  exercise  price shall be valued at
                           the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
                           preceding the date of the exercise of the Option.

         C.       Exercisability of Options.

                  1.       Except as provided in Article Five with  reference to

                           cumulative  so that  when the right to  purchase  any
                           shares of Common  Stock has  accrued  such  shares of
                           Common  Stock or any part thereof may be purchased at

                  after  the  expiration  of five (5)  years  from the date such
                  Option is granted.

         E.       Exercise Upon Option Holder's Termination of Employment.

                           Corporation   or  by  any  Parent  or  Subsidiary  is
                           terminated  for any  reason  other  than  death,  any

                           after the date of such termination of employment.

                  2.       a.       For purposes  of  determining  whether   any
                                    Option Holder has incurred a termination  of
                                    employment  an  Option Holder who is both an
                                    employee and a director of  the  Corporation

                                    as an employee and as a director.

                           b.       If  an   Option  Holder's   employment    is
                                    terminated   by  the   Corporation or by any
                                    Parent or Subsidiary for Good Cause or if an

                                    Subsidiary  without  the written  consent of
                                    the Committee, regardless  of  whether  such
                                    Option  Holder   continues  to  serve   as a
                                    director of the Corporation or of any Parent
                                    or Subsidiary, then the Option Holder shall,
                                    at   the  time  of   such   termination   of
                                    employment,   forfeit  his  or her rights to
                                    exercise   any  and  all  of the outstanding
                                    Option(s) theretofore granted to him.

                                    Subsidiary  by  the  Corporation  below  one
                                    share  more  than  50%  shall  be  deemed  a
                                    termination  of the employment of all Option
                                    holders  whose   determination  of  required
                                    status  under  this  Plan is  predicated  on
                                    their   status  in   connection   with  such
                                    Subsidiary.

         F.       Maximum Amount of Incentive Stock Options.

                  1.       Each Plan Award under which Incentive   Stock Options

                           and the  fair   market  values  (determined as of the
                           date(s) of grant of the option(s) of all other shares
                           of Common   Stock  subject to incentive stock options

                           Options.

                  2.       The terms of the immediately preceding sentence shall
                           be  applied  by taking  all  options,  whether or not
                           granted under this Plan, into account in the order in

                                   ADJUSTMENTS

I.       Recapitalization, etc.

         A.       In the event  there is any change in the  Common  Stock of the
                  Corporation by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization,
                  stock  split,  stock  dividend  or  otherwise,  they  shall be
                  substituted  for or  added  to  each  share  of  Common  Stock
                  theretofore  appropriated or thereafter  subject, or which may
                  become subject,  to any Option,  the number and kind of shares
                  of stock or other securities into which each outstanding share
                  of Common  Stock  shall be so  changed  or for which each such
                  share  shall be  exchanged,  or to which  each  such  share be
                  entitled,  as the case may be, and the per share price thereof

                           of  the  Code, or  any successor section thereof; and

                  2.       In no event shall any  adjustment be made which would
                           render any Incentive  Stock Option granted  hereunder
                           to be  other  than  an  Incentive  Stock  Option  for
                           purposes of Section 422 of the Code or any  successor
                           thereof.

                  that may have been made part of the  terms and  conditions  of
                  such Option(s) and  all restrictions regarding transferability
                  and forfeiture on shares of  Restricted Stock shall be removed
                  immediately  prior   to the  effective   date  of  such event;
                  provided that any conditions precedent to the exercise of such
                  Option(s), other than the passage of time, have occurred.

         B.       The predicate events referred to in the immediately  preceding

         B.       The headings contained in this Plan are for reference purposes
                  only and  shall   not  affect  in  any  way  the   meaning  or
