                        Re:         Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

       We have acted as counsel to USinternetworking, Inc. (the "Company"), and
we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement"), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of an additional 9,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, par value
$0.001 per share of the Company reserved for issuance under the Amended and
Restated 1998 Stock Option Plan of the Company (the "Plan").

       We have examined such questions of law and fact as we have considered
necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

       We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction of only
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion
with respect to the applicability thereto or the effect thereon of any other
laws or as to any matters of municipal law or any other local agencies within
any state.

       Subject to the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is our opinion that
upon issuance of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of options and stock
purchase rights granted pursuant to the Plan, and subject to the Company
completing all actions and proceedings required on its part to be taken prior to
the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the
Registration Statement, including, without limitation, collection of required
exercise price of the

options and the purchase price of the stock purchase rights, the Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable securities of the Company.

       We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendments thereto.



                                                            Very truly yours,
