Attorneys At Law The Colorado State Bank Building 1600 Broadway - Suite 1850 Denver, Colorado 80202-4918 Telephone (303) 866-9800 Facsimile (303) 866-9818 August 23, 1995 Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund 3410 South Galena Street Denver, Colorado 80231 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, 1995, 19,327,605 Class A shares and 7,529,176 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.
