Re: Underwritten Public Offering
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-201346) (the Registration Statement), filed by TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission), and declared effective on January 15, 2015. We are rendering this supplemental opinion in connection with the prospectus supplement, dated May 1, 2015 (the Prospectus Supplement), together with the Companys prospectus dated January 15, 2015, as filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Act (the Base Prospectus, and together with the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus), relating to the offering by the Company of 7,187,500 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock), including 937,500 shares of Common Stock for which the underwriters in the offering have been granted an option to purchase (collectively, the Shares), which Shares are covered by the Registration Statement. We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner set forth in the Prospectus.
We have acted as your counsel in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. We are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board of Directors) and the pricing committee (the Pricing Committee) duly appointed by the Board of Directors, in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares. We have examined all such documents as we considered necessary to enable us to render this opinion, including, but not limited to, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Underwriting Agreement, dated May 1, 2015 (the Underwriting Agreement), by and among the Company, William Blair & Company, L.L.C. and Nomura Securities International, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, the Companys Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as in effect on the date hereof, certain resolutions of the Board of Directors and the Pricing Committee, corporate records, and instruments, and such laws and regulations as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein.
In our examination, we have assumed: (a) the legal capacity of all natural persons; (b) the genuineness of all signatures; (c) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (d) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic or facsimile copies; (e) the authenticity of the originals of the documents referred in (d) above; (f) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments, certificates and records we have reviewed; (g) the absence of any undisclosed modifications to the agreements and instruments reviewed by us; and (h) that the Shares will be issued against payment of valid consideration under applicable law. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein, which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.
We express no opinion herein as to the law of any state or jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Delaware, including statutory provisions and all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws of the State of Delaware, and the federal laws of the United States of America.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, when issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor as set forth in the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and to the reference of our firm under the caption Legal Matters in the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not hereby 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.
As counsel to the Company, we have furnished this opinion in connection with the filing of the Prospectus.
