Dear Sir or Madam:
PaineWebber Cashfund, Inc. ("Company") is a corporation organized under
the laws of the State of Maryland on January 20, 1978. We understand that the
Company is about to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, for the purpose of making definite
the number of shares of common stock which it has registered thereunder and
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and which it sold in reliance on
Rule 24f-2 during its fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
We have, as counsel, participated in various corporate and other
proceedings relating to the Company. We have examined copies, either certified
or otherwise proved to be genuine, of its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws,
as now in effect, the minutes of meetings of its board of directors and other
documents relating to its organization and operation, and we are generally
familiar with its corporate affairs. Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion
that the shares of common stock of the Company sold in reliance upon
registration under Rule 24f-2 during its fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the
registration of which will be made definite by the filing of a Rule 24f-2
Notice, were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the Rule 24f-2 Notice which
you are about to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP
