Gentlemen:
In connection with the public offering of the no par value Class A shares
and no par value Class B shares of the Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund, a
business trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (the "Trust"), as counsel for the Trust, we have examined
such records and documents and have made such further investigation and
examination as we deem necessary for the purposes of this opinion.
We are advised that during the fiscal period ended June 30, 1994,
26,551,307 Class A shares and 9,581,829 Class B shares of beneficial
interest of the Trust were sold in reliance on the registration of an
indefinite number of shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
It is our opinion that the said shares of beneficial interest of the Trust
sold in reliance on Rule 24f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 are
legally issued and, subject to the matters mentioned in the next
paragraph, fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust.
Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of the Trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the obligations
of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust does, however, contain an express
disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust
and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement,
obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or the
Trustees. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of
the trust property of any shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust also provides that the
Trust shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against
any shareholder for any act or obligation of the Trust and satisfy any
judgment thereon.
Sincerely,
MYER, SWANSON & ADAMS, P.C.
