Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Dear Sir or Madam:
We have acted as counsel to Landmark VIP Funds, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Trust"), in connection with the Trust's registration, pursuant to
Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of an
indefinite number of Shares of Beneficial Interest (par value $0.00001) of its
series known as Landmark VIP International Equity Fund (the "Shares") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). We understand that,
pursuant to such Rule 24f-2, the Trust proposes to file a notice (the "Notice")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on February 28,
1996, with respect to the fiscal year of Landmark VIP International Equity Fund
ended December 31, 1995, in order to make definite in number the registration
of 433,612.147 Shares. This opinion is being furnished with a view to your
filing the same with the Commission in conjunction with the filing of the
Notice.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following described
documents:
(a) a certificate of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts as to the existence of the Trust;
(b) copies, certified by the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and of all amendments
thereto on file in the office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts;
(c) a certificate executed by John R. Elder, the Treasurer of the Trust,
as to the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the Trust's Declaration of
<PAGE>
Trust and By-Laws and as to the receipt by the Trust of the net asset value of
the Shares covered by the Notice; and
(d) a certificate executed by Molly S. Mugler, the Assistant Secretary of
the Trust, certifying as to, and attaching copies of, the Trust's Declaration
of Trust and all amendments thereto, the Trust's By-Laws and all amendments
thereto and certain votes of the Trustees of the Trust authorizing the issuance
of the Shares covered by the Notice.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the conformity to the originals of all of the documents reviewed by us as
copies, the authenticity and completeness of all original documents reviewed by
us in original or copy form and the legal competence of each individual
executing any document.
This opinion is based entirely on our review of the documents listed
above. We have made no other review or investigation of any kind whatsoever,
and we have assumed, without independent inquiry, the accuracy of the
information set forth in such documents.
This opinion is limited solely to the internal substantive laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts as applied by courts in such Commonwealth (other
than Massachusetts securities laws, with respect to which we express no
opinion), to the extent such laws may apply to or govern the matters covered by
this opinion.
We understand that all of the foregoing assumptions and limitations are
acceptable to you.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, please be advised that it is our
opinion that the 433,612.147 Shares covered by the Notice were legally issued
and (to the extent still outstanding) are fully paid and nonassessable, except
that shareholders of the Trust may under certain circumstances be held
personally liable for its obligations.
Very truly yours,
BINGHAM, DANA & GOULD
