Re:2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”)

Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Sionix Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 of the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to 7,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Shares").

In connection with that registration, we have reviewed the proceedings of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Plan and the proposed issuance of the Shares, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company and all amendments thereto, the bylaws of the Company and all amendments thereto, and such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary to the rendering of the following opinion.

Based upon that review, it is our opinion that the Shares, including Shares issued upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan, when issued in conformance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.  We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion to cover, and accordingly we express no opinion as to, the application of the securities or blue sky laws of the various states as to the issuance and sale of the Shares.

 Very truly yours,

 /s/ Richardson & Patel LLP

EX-10.1

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDMENT DATED JANUARY 16, 2012 TO THE

SIONIX CORPORATION 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

In accordance with Section 22 of that certain Sionix Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the board of directors of Sionix Corporation does hereby amend the Plan by deleting the first sentence of Section 3.1 which states:

3.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 19, the total aggregate number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan, shall be 8,000,000 Shares and will include Shares that are subject to: (a) issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option for any reason other than exercise of such Option; (b) an Award granted hereunder but forfeited or repurchased by the Corporation at the original issue price; and (c) an Award that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued; provided, however, that at no time shall the total number of Shares issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Awards under this Plan together with all awards outstanding under any other stock option, stock award, stock bonus and similar plans and agreements of the Corporation exceed 30% (calculated in accordance 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations) based on the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock as of the date of such calculation. At all times the Corporation shall reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares as shall be required to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding Options granted under this Plan and all other outstanding but unvested Awards granted under this Plan.

and by replacing it with the following:

3.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 19, the total aggregate number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan, shall be 15,000,000 Shares and will include Shares that are subject to: (a) issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option for any reason other than exercise of such Option; (b) an Award granted hereunder but forfeited or repurchased by the Corporation at the original issue price; and (c) an Award that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued; provided, however, that at no time shall the total number of Shares issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Awards under this Plan together with all awards outstanding under any other stock option, stock award, stock bonus and similar plans and agreements of the Corporation exceed 30% (calculated in accordance 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations) based on the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock as of the date of such calculation. At all times the Corporation shall reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares as shall be required to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding Options granted under this Plan and all other outstanding but unvested Awards granted under this Plan.

In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall remain the same.

WHEREFORE, this Amendment dated January 16, 2012 to the Sionix Corporation 2011 Equity Incentive Plan has been executed in Los Angeles, California on January 16, 2012.
