File Nos. 033-17619 and 811-05349
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Goldman Sachs Trust (the Registrant), a Delaware statutory trust, in connection with amendments to and restatements of the Registrants registration statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Registration Statement) relating to the issuance and sale by the Registrant of its authorized shares, divided into several series and classes. We have examined such governmental and corporate certificates and records as we deemed necessary to render this opinion, and we are familiar with the Registrants Declaration of Trust and Amended and Restated By-Laws, each as amended to date.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares of each Series and Class have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms, conditions, requirements and procedures described in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued and, subject to the qualifications set forth in the Declaration of Trust, fully paid and non-assessable beneficial interests in such Series and Class. In this regard, we note that, pursuant to Section 2 of Article VIII of the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees have the power to cause each Shareholder, or each Shareholder of any particular Series or Class, to pay directly, in advance or arrears, for charges of the Registrants custodian or transfer, shareholder servicing or similar agent, an amount fixed from time to time by the Trustees, by setting off such charges due from such Shareholder from declared but unpaid dividends owed such Shareholder and/or by reducing the number of Shares in the account of such Shareholder by that number of full and/or fractional Shares which represents the outstanding amount of such charges due from such Shareholder.
