Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1
Dear Mr. Puchir:
We have acted as counsel to White River Energy Corp, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-268707) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) on the date hereof. The Registration Statement relates to (i) the distribution by Ecoark Holdings, Inc. (“Ecoark”) of 42,253,521 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issuable to Ecoark upon conversion of the 1,200 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) held by Ecoark, on a pro rata basis to Ecoark’s stockholders, comprised of holders of Ecoark’s outstanding common stock and convertible preferred stock on an as-converted basis (subject to beneficial ownership limitations) (the “Spin-Off Shares”); and (ii) the offer and sale, from time-to-time by the Selling Stockholders identified in the Registration Statement, of (A) up to 14,270,523 shares of common stock (the “PIPE Shares”), which consists of up to 4,756,841 shares of common issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Selling Stockholders (the “Series C”), and up to 9,513,682 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants to purchase common stock held by the Selling Stockholders (the “Warrants,” and together with the PIPE Shares, collectively, the “PIPE Securities”), and/or (B) the up to 9,513,682 Warrants themselves. The Spin-Off Shares and the PIPE Securities are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” The shares of Series A were issued to Ecoark, and the Series C and Warrants were issued to the Selling Stockholders, as applicable, as described in the Registration Statement in private placement transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined such documents and such matters of fact and law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for this opinion, including, but not limited to, (i) the Registration Statement, as amended, (ii) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended, (iii) the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A, as amended, (iv) the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series C, (v) the form of Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the Series A was issued to Ecoark, (vi) the form of Securities Purchase Agreement and exhibits thereto pursuant to which the Series C and Warrants were issued to the Selling Stockholders, (vii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, and (vii) the forms of Warrant, together with such other corporate documents and records as we deemed appropriate for purposes of the opinions set forth herein.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Securities, as and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Series A, Series C and Warrants, as applicable, and for the consideration set forth therein, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and that the Warrants are valid and binding obligations of the Company under the laws of the State of Nevada, subject to the holder’s payment of the exercise price.
