     Item 27.  Indemnification
                 ---------------

              Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article X of the Declaration of
     Trust provides that the Registrant will indemnify its trustees and
     officers to the fullest extent permitted by law against claims and
     expenses asserted against or incurred by them by virtue of being or having
     been a trustee or officer; provided that no such person shall be
     indemnified where there has been an adjudication or other determination,
     as described in Article X, that such person is liable to the Registrant or
     its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
     negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
     his or her office or did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief
     that his or her action was in the best interest of the Registrant. 
     Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article X also provides that the
     Registrant may maintain insurance policies covering such rights of
     indemnification. 

              Additionally, "Limitation of Liability" in Article X of the
     Declaration of Trust provides that the trustees or officers of the
     Registrant shall not be personally liable to any person extending credit
     to, contracting with or having a claim against the Trust; and that,
     provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted under the
     reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of the


                                         C-8
<PAGE>






     Registrant, the trustees and officers shall not be liable for neglect or
     wrongdoing by them or any officer, agent, employee or investment adviser
     of the Registrant.

              Section 2 of Article XI of the Declaration of Trust additionally
     provides that, subject to the provisions of Section 1 of Article XI and to
     Article X, trustees shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes
     of fact or law, for any act or omission in accordance with advice of
     counsel or other experts, or failing to follow such advice, with respect
     to the meaning and operation of the Declaration of Trust.

              Article IX of the By-Laws provides that the Registrant may
     purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
     trustee, officer or employee of the Trust, or is or was serving at the
     request of the Trust as a trustee, officer or employee of a corporation,
     partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
     liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any
     such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not
     the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
     liability, provided that the Registrant may not acquire insurance
     protecting any trustee or officer against any liability to the Registrant
     or its shareholders to which he or she would otherwise be subject by
     reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
     disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

              Section 9 of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract
     (the "Contract") provides that Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc.
     ("Mitchell Hutchins") shall not be liable for any error of judgement or
     mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Registrant in connection
     with the matters to which the Contract relates, except for a loss
     resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence of
     Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of its duties or from its reckless
     disregard of its obligations and duties under the Contract.  Section 10 of
     the Contract provides that the trustees shall not be liable for any
     obligations of the Registrant under the Contract and that Mitchell
     Hutchins shall look only to the assets and property of the Registrant in
     settlement of such right or claim and not to the assets and property of
     the trustees. 

              Section 9 of each Distribution Contract provides that the
     Registrant will indemnify Mitchell Hutchins, its officers, directors and
     controlling persons against all liabilities arising from any alleged
     untrue statement of material fact in the Registration Statement or from
     any alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement a material
     fact required to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in
     it, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading, except insofar as liability arises from untrue statements or
     omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
     furnished by Mitchell Hutchins to the Registrant for use in the
     Registration Statement; and provided that this indemnity agreement shall
     not protect any such persons against liabilities arising by reason of
     their bad faith, gross negligence or willful misfeasance and shall not

                                         C-9
<PAGE>






     inure to the benefit of any such persons unless a court of competent
     jurisdiction or controlling precedent determines that such result is not
     against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933.  Section
     9 also provides that Mitchell Hutchins agrees to indemnify, defend and
     hold the Registrant, its officers and trustees free and harmless of any
     claims arising out of any alleged untrue statement or any alleged omission
     of material fact contained in information furnished by Mitchell Hutchins
     for use in the Registration Statement or arising out of an agreement
     between Mitchell Hutchins and any retail dealer, or arising out of
     supplementary literature or advertising used by Mitchell Hutchins in
     connection with the Distribution Contract.          

              Section 9 of each Exclusive Dealer Agreement contains provisions
     similar to Section 9 of the Distribution Contract, with respect to
     PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber").

              Section 6 of the Service Contract provides that PaineWebber shall
     be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant against all
     liabilities, except those arising out of bad faith, gross negligence,
     willful misfeasance or reckless disregard of its duties under the Service
     Contract.

              Section 10 of the Distribution Contract and Section 7 of the
     Service Contract contain provisions similar to that of Section 10 of the
     Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, with respect to Mitchell
     Hutchins and PaineWebber, as appropriate.

              Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to trustees, 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 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 trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
     connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding
     or payment pursuant to any insurance policy) is asserted against the
     Registrant by such trustee, 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                            PAINEWEBBER MUTUAL FUND TRUST
                      MULTIPLE CLASS PLAN PURSUANT TO RULE 18f-3

              PaineWebber Mutual Fund Trust hereby adopts this amended and
     restated Multiple Class Plan pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act") on behalf of its current
     operating series, PaineWebber California Tax-Free Income Fund and
     PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income Fund, and any series that may be
     established in the future (referred to hereinafter collectively as the
     "Funds" and individually as a "Fund").  

     A.       GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CLASSES THAT ARE OFFERED:  
              -----------------------------------------------

              1.      Class A Shares.    Class A shares of each Fund are sold
     to the general public subject to an initial sales charge.  The initial
     sales charge for each Fund is waived for certain eligible purchasers and
     reduced or waived for certain large volume purchases.

              The maximum sales charge is 4% of the public offering price for
     Class A shares of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities.

              The maximum sales charge is 4.5% of the public offering price for
     Class A shares of a Fund that invests primarily in equity securities or a
     combination of equity and debt securities.

              Class A shares of each Fund are subject to an annual service fee
     of .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of each Fund
     paid pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1
     under the 1940 Act.

              Class A shares of each Fund will be subject to a contingent
     deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on redemptions of shares (i) purchased
     without an initial sales charge due to a sales charge waiver for purchases
     of $1 million or more and (ii) held less than one year.  The Class A CDSC
     is equal to 1% of the lower of: (i) the net asset value of the shares at
     the time of purchase or (ii) the net asset value of the shares at the time
     of redemption.  Class A shares of each Fund held one year or longer and
     Class A shares of each Fund acquired through reinvestment of dividends or
     capital gains distributions on shares otherwise subject to a Class A CDSC
     are not subject to the CDSC.  The CDSC for Class A shares of each Fund
     shall not apply to shares purchased prior to November 10, 1995 and will be
     waived under certain circumstances.

              2.      Class B Shares.    Class B shares of each Fund are sold
     to the general public subject to a CDSC, but without imposition of an
     initial sales charge.  

              The maximum CDSC for Class B shares of each Fund is equal to 5%
     of the lower of: (i) the net asset value of the shares at the time of
<PAGE>

     Multiple Class Plan
     Page 2


     purchase or (ii) the net asset value of the shares at the time of
     redemption.  

              Class B shares of each Fund held six years or longer and Class B
     shares of each Fund acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital
     gains distributions are not subject to the CDSC.

              Class B shares of each Fund are subject to an annual service fee
     of .25% of average daily net assets and a distribution fee of .75% of
     average daily net assets of the Class B shares of each Fund, each paid
     pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under
     the 1940 Act.

              Class B shares of each Fund convert to Class A shares
     approximately six years after issuance at relative net asset value.

              3.      Class C Shares.    Class C shares of each Fund are sold
     to the general public without imposition of a sales charge.

              Class C shares of a Fund that invests primarily in equity
     securities or a combination of equity and debt securities are subject to
     an annual service fee of .25% of average daily net assets and a
     distribution fee of .75% of average daily net assets of Class C shares of
     such Fund, each pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted pursuant to
     Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

              Class C shares of a Fund that invests primarily in debt
     securities are subject to an annual service fee of .25% of average daily
     net assets and a distribution fee of .50% of average daily net assets of
     Class C shares of such Fund, each pursuant to a plan of distribution
     adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

              Class C shares of a Fund that invests primarily in debt
     securities will be subject to a CDSC on redemptions of Class C shares held
     less than one year equal to .75% of the lower of: (i) the net asset value
     of the shares at the time of purchase or (ii) the net asset value of the
     shares at the time of redemption; provided that such CDSC shall not apply
     to Class C shares purchased prior to November 10, 1995.  

              Class C shares of a Fund that invests primarily in equity
     securities or in a combination of equity and debt securities will be
     subject to a CDSC on redemptions of Class C shares held less than one year
     equal to 1% of the lower of: (i) the net asset value of the shares at the
     time of purchase or (ii) the net asset value of the shares at the time of
     redemption; provided that such CDSC shall not apply to Class C shares
     purchased prior to November 10, 1995.

     shares of each Fund acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital

     gains distributions are not subject to the CDSC.  The CDSC for Class C
     shares of each Fund will be waived under certain circumstances.

              4.      Class Y Shares.   Class Y shares are sold without
     imposition of an initial sales charge or CDSC and are not subject to any
     service or distribution fees.
      
              Class Y shares of each Fund are available for purchase only by:

     Group Inc. and its affiliates; (ii) certain unit investment trusts

     in certain investment programs that are currently, or will in the future

     that such shares are issued in connection with the reorganization of a

     more at one time in any combination of PaineWebber proprietary funds in

     B.       EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS OF EACH CLASS:
              ----------------------------------

              Certain expenses may be attributable to a particular Class of
     shares of each Fund ("Class Expenses").  Class Expenses are charged
     directly to the net assets of the particular Class and, thus, are borne on
     a pro rata basis by the outstanding shares of that Class.

              In addition to the distribution and service fees described above,
     each Class may also pay a different amount of the following other
     expenses:

                      (1)      printing and postage expenses related to
                               preparing and distributing materials
                               such as shareholder reports,
                               prospectuses, and proxies to current
                               shareholders of a specific Class;

                      (2)      Blue Sky registration fees incurred by a specific
                               Class of shares;

     Page 4


                      (3)      SEC registration fees incurred by a specific

                      (4)      expenses of administrative personnel and services
                               required to support the shareholders of a
                               specific Class of shares;

                      (5)      Trustees' fees incurred as a result of issues
                               relating to a specific Class of shares;

                      (6)      litigation expenses or other legal expenses
                               relating to a specific Class of shares; and  

                      (7)      transfer agent fees identified as being
                               attributable to a specific Class.


     C.       EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES:
              --------------------

              Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Fund may be exchanged
     for shares of the corresponding Class of other PaineWebber mutual funds
     and MH/KP mutual funds, or may be acquired through an exchange of shares
     of the corresponding Class of those funds.  Class Y shares of the Funds
     are not exchangeable.

              These exchange privileges may be modified or terminated by a
     Fund, and exchanges may only be made into funds that are legally
     registered for sale in the investor's state of residence.


     D.       CLASS DESIGNATION:
              -----------------

              Subject to approval by the Board of Trustees of PaineWebber
     Mutual Fund Trust, a Fund may alter the nomenclature for the designations
     of one or more of its classes of shares.


     E.       ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
              ----------------------
              This Multiple Class Plan is qualified by and subject to the terms
     of the then current prospectus for the applicable Classes; provided,
     however, that none of the terms set forth in any such prospectus shall be
     inconsistent with the terms of the Classes contained in this Plan.  The
     prospectus for each Fund contains additional information about the Classes
     and each Fund's multiple class structure.
