PART II  
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS 
 
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended (“Certificate of Incorporation”), contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:
 
• Any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders.
 
• Acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law.
 
• Unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
• Any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
Our Bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our Bylaws also provide that we shall advance expenses incurred by a director or officer before the final disposition of any action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking from or on behalf of that director or officer to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. We have entered and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Board of Directors. These agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
 
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
 
Insofar as we may permit indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act to directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

On December 26, 2006, we accepted subscriptions from accredited investors for $2,250,000 in total purchase price of our Series A Convertible Debenture. The debentures were sold with a built-in thirty percent (30%) rate of return. For each $100,000 paid to the Company, a total of $130,000 is due to the holder. Additionally, upon issuance, we issued 16,666 shares of common stock to the note holder for each $100,000 subscription. The debentures mature in one year from the date issued with no interest. The principal amount of the debentures may be converted into common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion rate of $3.00 per share at the holder’s option at any time. The principal amount of the debentures is secured by all of the Company’s assets and those of its operating subsidiaries, including an assignment of its leasehold interests in its retail facilities. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, we are obligated to register or to file a registration statement for all of the common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the debentures, within 270 days from closing on a “best efforts” basis. Broker or underwriting fees or commissions to be paid in connection with the offer and sale will be a maximum of 10% of cash received. As of December 31, 2006 we have deposited $1,400,000 in cash proceeds and deposited an additional $850,000 during January and February of 2007. Accordingly, 233,324 shares of common stock were issued during the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The offer and sale of the debentures and common stock were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D, Rule 506, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
On December 21, 2006, U.S. Dry Cleaning Corporation, Delaware corporation (“USDC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cleaners Club Acquisition Sub, Inc., a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of USDC (“Merger Sub”), Cleaners Club, Inc., a California corporation (“Cleaners Club”), and Riaz Chauthani, an individual and the sole shareholder of Cleaners Club. The Merger Agreement contemplates that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Cleaners Club will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Cleaners Club will be automatically converted into common stock of USDC in an amount equal to the exchange ratio of 0.00128 such that USDC will issue an aggregate of 780,000 shares of common stock as consideration for the merger. On February 15, 2007, the Merger was consummated and USDC issued an aggregate of 780,000 shares of USDC common stock to Mr. Chauthani in exchange for the outstanding shares of Cleaners Club common stock. The issuance of the USDC common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Regulation D thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

A.       The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes:
 
(1)       To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
 
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
 
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
 
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
 
(2)       That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
(3)       To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4)       That, to determine liability to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);
 
 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
 
 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
 
 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

(5)   For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

(6)        For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
 
II-6

 
B.       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:
Offering of Units Consisting of Common Stock and Warrants to
Purchase Common Stock pursuant to Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 - Registration No. 333-139689
 
Gentlemen:
 
You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the sale by U.S. Dry Cleaning Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), of an aggregate of up to three million (3,000,000) units (the "Units") pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2, Registration No. 333-139689, initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 27, 2006 and as amended by pre-effective amendments dated March 1, 2007, March 30, 2007, April 20, 2007 and May 10, 2007 (the "Registration Statement"), with each unit consisting of one share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") and one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Registration Statement covers: (a) 3,000,000 Units to be sold by certain of our officers and directors as our representatives and to be sold pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") by and between the Company and US EURO Securities, Inc. (the "Underwriter"); (b) 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock included in the Units (the "Unit Shares"); (c) 3,000,000 redeemable warrants included in the Units (the "Unit Warrants") exercisable pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agency Agreement by and between the Company and Interwest Transfer Company, Inc.; (d) a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company to the Underwriter pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriter's Warrant"); and (e) 3,300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Unit Warrants and the Underwriter's Warrant.
 
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement, the related prospectus, the Underwriting Agreement, the Warrant Agency Agreement, the Underwriter's Warrant Agreement, the form of Underwriter's Warrant, the certificate of incorporation, as amended, of the Company as currently in effect, the bylaws of the Company, as amended to date, originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of the Company's minute book, and such other records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below. We have assumed, with your consent, the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, the legal capacity of natural persons, and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof. As to any facts material to this opinion which we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of the Company and its officers and other representatives and of public officials.
 


As your counsel in connection with this transaction, we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Units, the Unit Shares, the Unit Warrants, the Underwriter's Warrant, and the shares underlying the respective warrants.
 
In addition, the opinions hereinafter expressed are subject to the following exceptions, qualifications, limitations, and assumptions:
 
(a) We express no opinion as to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar federal or state laws affecting the rights of creditors;
 
(b) We express no opinion as to the effect or availability of rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (regardless of whether any such remedy is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);
 
(c) This opinion is qualified by the limitations imposed by statutes and principles of law and equity that provide that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where such covenants or provisions are unconscionable or contrary to public policy or where enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would violate the enforcing party's implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;
 
(d) The Unit Warrants, the Warrant Agency Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter's Warrant Agreement, and the Underwriter's Warrant constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party to such agreement (other than the Company) enforceable against such parties (other than the Company) in accordance with their terms;
 
(e) When issued, the Unit Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Unit Warrants and the Underwriter's Warrant will be evidenced by appropriate certificates that have been properly executed and delivered; and
 
(f) the Underwriting Agreement has been performed by each party (other than the Company).
 


Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the following opinions:
 
1. When issued and sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement and pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Units and the Unit Shares included therein will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
2. When issued and sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement and pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agency Agreement, when countersigned by the warrant agent, the Unit Warrants will represent a binding obligation of the Company, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity including (without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
 
3. When executed by the Company, the Underwriter's Warrant will represent a binding obligation of the Company, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and subject to general principles of equity including (without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
 
4. When issued and sold by the Company against payment therefor pursuant to the terms of the Underwriter's Warrant and the Underwriter's Warrant Agreement, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Underwriter's will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
5. When issued and sold by the Company against payment therefor pursuant to the terms of the Unit Warrants and the Warrant Agency Agreement, the shares of Common Stock subject to the Unit Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
We are members of the Bar of the State of California and, accordingly, do not purport to be experts on or to be qualified to express any opinion herein concerning, nor do we express any opinion herein concerning, any law other than the laws of the State of California, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United States.
 
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the prospectus.
 
Very truly yours,
