Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are furnishing this opinion in connection with the sale during the
fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 of 7,067,208,521 shares of beneficial interest
(the "Shares") of Cash Resource Trust (the "Trust") pursuant to the provisions
of Rule 24f-2 (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
We have examined copies of (i) your Agreement and Declaration of Trust as
on file at the office of the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, which provides for an unlimited number of authorized shares of
beneficial interest, and (ii) your Bylaws, which provide for the issue and sale
by the Trust of such Shares. We have also examined (i) a copy of the notice (the
"Notice") to be filed pursuant to the Rule by you with the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to your registration of an indefinite number of
shares of beneficial interest of the Trust pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and making definite registration of the Shares pursuant to the
Rule, and (ii) a certificate of the Treasurer of the Trust stating that all of
the Shares had been recorded as issued and that the appropriate consideration
therefor as provided in your Bylaws had been received at July 31, 1995.
We assume that appropriate action has been taken to register or qualify the
sale of the Shares under any applicable state and federal laws regulating
offerings and sales of securities, and that the Notice will be timely filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Trust is a legally organized and validly existing voluntary
association with transferable shares of beneficial interest under the laws of
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares of beneficial interest.
2. The Shares were validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the
Trust at July 31, 1995.
The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust". Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of the Trust could, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
Trust. However, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims 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 its Trustees. The Agreement and Declaration of Trust
provides for indemnification out of the property of the particular series of
shares for all loss and expense of any shareholder of that series held
personally liable for the obligations of that series solely by reason of his
being or having been a shareholder. Thus, the risk of shareholder's incurring
financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances
in which that series of shares itself would be unable to meet its obligations.
We consent to this opinion accompanying the Notice.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Ropes & Gray
