EXPLANATORY
NOTE
An
amendment (the “Amendment”) to the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation of ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc.
(the “Registrant”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-35 reverse split (the
“Reverse Stock Split”) of the Registrant’s issued and outstanding common stock, with an effective time of 4:01 p.m.
Eastern Time on December 4, 2023. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 35 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (“Common
Stock”), either issued or outstanding, immediately prior to the filing and effectiveness of the Amendment, was automatically combined
and converted (without any further act) into one share of fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock. No fractional shares were
issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Each fractional share of Common Stock was rounded up to the nearest whole share of
Common Stock, if such shares of Common Stock were held directly. Unless otherwise indicated, all share numbers herein, including Common
Stock registered hereunder and registered under prior registration statements, give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
This
registration statement on Form S-8 registers 276,368 additional shares of Common Stock of the Registrant that may be issued under the
ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), consisting of (a) 114,286 shares of Common Stock
that were authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to an amendment and restatement to the Plan which was approved by the Registrant’s
stockholders at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders held on October 31, 2023, and (b) 162,082 shares of Common Stock that were authorized
for issuance under the Plan pursuant to the Plan Evergreen Provision (as defined and described below).
The
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase (the “Plan Evergreen
Provision”) on January 1st of each year commencing January 1, 2024 and on each January 1 thereafter until the Expiration Date (as
defined in the Plan), in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding
calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registrant’s Board of Directors may act prior to the first day of any calendar
year, to provide that there shall be no increase in the share reserve for such calendar year or that the increase in the share reserve
for such calendar year shall be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence.
Pursuant to the Plan Evergreen Provision, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan was increased by
162,082 shares of common stock effective January 1, 2024.
Up
to 41,523 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan were previously registered on Form S-8, filed by the Registrant
on May 19, 2023, File No. 333-272106 (the “Prior Registration Statement”). In accordance with General Instruction E of Form
S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statement are hereby incorporated by reference in this registration statement. Only those
items of Form S-8 containing new information not contained in the in the Prior Registration Statement are presented herein.
As of February 13, 2024, the Company had 4,631,987 shares of Common
Stock outstanding.

Item
6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subsection
(a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) empowers a corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person 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 reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Subsection
(b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
the person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section
145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and the indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided
when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting
the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty
of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
Additionally,
our Charter limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify
them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. We have entered into and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our
directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements,
we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware,
if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was our director or officer or
was serving at our request in an official capacity for another entity. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all reasonable
fees, expenses, charges and other costs of any type or nature whatsoever, including any and all expenses and obligations paid or incurred
in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a
witness or participate in any completed, actual, pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the indemnification agreement. The indemnification agreements
also require us, if so requested, to advance all fees, expenses and other costs that such director or officer incurred, provided that
such person will return any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any
claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against
us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Item
9. Undertakings.
(a) The
undersigned registrant 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 volume 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% 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 the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post- effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(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.
(b) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has 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.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 registrant 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.

to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that

ZyVersa
Therapeutics, Inc.

N. Commerce Parkway, Suite 208
Weston,
Florida 33326
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
ZyVersa
Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) for the
registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of an additional 276,368 shares
of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), that are issuable at any time or from time
to time under the ZyVersa Therapeutics, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (as amended to date, the “Incentive Plan”).
Item
601 of Regulation S-K and the instructions to Form S-8 require that an opinion of counsel concerning the legality of the securities to
be registered be filed as an exhibit to a Form S-8 registration statement if the securities are original issue shares. This opinion letter
is provided in satisfaction of that requirement as it relates to the Registration Statement.
In
rendering this opinion, we have examined the Incentive Plan, the Registration Statement, the certificate of incorporation of the Company,
and the bylaws of the Company (each as amended and/or amended and restated as of the date hereof) and such other records, instruments,
and documents as we have deemed advisable in order to render this opinion letter. In such examination, we have assumed (a) the genuineness
of all signatures, (b) the legal capacity of all natural persons, (c) the authenticity of all documents, certificates, and instruments
submitted to us as originals, (d) the conformity to original documents of all documents, certificates, and instruments submitted to us
as certified, conformed, or photostatic copies, and (e) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. Our opinion set forth
below is based on the text of the Incentive Plan as referenced in the Exhibits Index to the Registration Statement and is limited to
the General Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters
covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
As
a result of the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications, and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion
that, under the laws of the State of Delaware, when issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan, the Common Stock that is the subject of the
Registration Statement will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
In
rendering this opinion, we have assumed that (a) the Company will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock at the
time of each issuance of any of the shares of Common Stock under the Incentive Plan; (b) the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
the Incentive Plan will be evidenced by appropriate certificates, duly executed and delivered, or the Company’s Board of Directors
has adopted or will adopt a resolution providing that all of the shares of Common Stock shall be uncertificated in accordance with Section
158 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prior to their issuance; (c) the issuance of each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to
the Incentive Plan will be duly noted in the Company’s stock ledger upon its issuance; (d) the Company will receive consideration
for each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan at least equal to the par value of such share of Common Stock and
in the amount required by the Incentive Plan (or the award agreement issued thereunder) and the Authorizing Resolutions (as defined below),
(e) the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue the Common Stock pursuant to the Incentive Plan (the “Authorizing Resolutions”)
will be in full force and effect at all times at which the Common Stock is issued by the Company, and that the Company will take no action
inconsistent with such Authorizing Resolutions; and (f) each award under the Incentive Plan will be approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors.
This
opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any development or circumstance
of any kind, including any change of law or fact that may occur after the date of this opinion letter that might affect the opinion expressed
herein.
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby
admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
of the Commission.
