the "Certificates"), having the aggregate principal amounts and Pass-Through
Rates set forth above. The Certificates, together with the Class M and Class B
Certificates of the same series, will evidence the entire beneficial interest in
the Trust Fund (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to
below) consisting primarily of a pool (the "Pool") of conventional, fixed-rate,
one- to four- family residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") as
described in the Prospectus Supplement (as hereinafter defined) to be sold by
the Company. A de minimis portion of the Class R Certificates will not be sold
hereunder and will be held by the Trustee.
The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing
agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") to be dated as of
________________________, 200_ (the "Cut-off Date") among the Company, as
seller, ______________________________, as master servicer ("Master Servicer"),

Registration Statement as of the effective date (the "Effective Date"), and
the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, complied in
all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the
1933 Act Regulations; and the Registration Statement, as of the Effective
Date, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading and the Prospectus, as of the
date of the Prospectus Supplement, did not, and as of the Closing Date will
not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact and did not and will
not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or
warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the

NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION AS
TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION
HEREIN. THE INFORMATION HEREIN IS PRELIMINARY, AND
WILL BE SUPERSEDED BY THE APPLICABLE PROSPECTUS
SUPPLEMENT AND BY ANY OTHER INFORMATION SUBSEQUENTLY
FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
In the case of Collateral Term Sheets, such legend shall also include the
following statement:
"THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN WILL BE SUPERSEDED
BY THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL CONTAINED IN
THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT RELATING TO THE
CERTIFICATES AND [EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE INITIAL
COLLATERAL TERM SHEET PREPARED BY THE UNDERWRITER]

material error or omission, the Underwriter shall prepare a corrected
version of such Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets, shall circulate
such corrected Computational Materials to all recipients of the prior
versions thereof that indicated orally to the Underwriter they would
purchase all or any portion of the Certificates and shall deliver copies of
such corrected Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets (marked, "as
corrected") to the Company for filing with the Commission in a subsequent
Form 8-K submission (subject to the Company's obtaining an accountant's
comfort letter in respect of such corrected Computational Materials, which
shall be at the expense of the Underwriter), provided that if any such
letter is required to be revised solely because of a change in the Pool
Information, fifty percent of any additional expenses for such letter
resulting from the change in Pool Information shall be paid by each of the
Underwriter and the Company.
(g) If the Underwriter does not provide any Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets to the Company pursuant to subsection (d)
above, the Underwriter shall be deemed to have represented, as of the
Closing Date, that it did not provide any prospective investors with any
information in written or electronic form in connection with the offering
of the Certificates that is required to be filed with the Commission in
accordance with the No-Action Letters, and the Underwriter shall provide
the Company with a certification to that effect on the Closing Date.
(h) In the event of any delay in the delivery by the underwriter
to the Company of all Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets required
to be delivered in accordance with subsection (d) above, or in the delivery
of the accountant's comfort letter in respect thereof pursuant to Section
5.9, the Company shall have the right to delay the release of the

Closing Date, you shall provide the Company with a certificate, substantially in
the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, setting forth (i) in the case of each
class of Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of such class of Certificates has been sold to the public as of such date, the
value calculated pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit F hereto, or, (b) if 10%
or more of such class of Certificates has been sold to the public as of such
date but no single price is paid for at least 10% of the aggregate principal
balance of such class of Certificates, then the weighted average price at which
the Certificates of such class were sold expressed as a percentage of the
principal balance of such class of Certificates sold, or (c) the first single
price at which at least 10% of the aggregate principal balance of such class of
Certificates was sold to the public, (ii) the prepayment assumption used in
pricing each class of Certificates, and (iii) such other information as to
matters of fact as the Company may reasonably request to enable it to comply
with its reporting requirements with respect to each class of Certificates to
the extent such information can in the good faith judgment of the Underwriter be
determined by it.

of the Certificates in which a prospectus relating to the Certificates is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which it
is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading,
or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with
the Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company promptly will prepare and
furnish, at its own expense, to you, either amendments or supplements to the
Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or
supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is
delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply
with law.
5.4 The Company will furnish to you, without charge, a copy of the
Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of
a prospectus by an underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many
copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and

statement as to compliance delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.19 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the annual statement of a firm of
independent public accountants furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as soon as such statements are furnished
to the Company.
5.6 The Company will endeavor to arrange for the qualification of the
Certificates for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as you may reasonably
designate and will maintain such qualification in effect so long as required for
the initial distribution of the Certificates; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to
general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now
so subject.
5.7 If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
consummated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to
the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and will
reimburse you for any reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by you in connection with
qualification of the Certificates for sale and determination of their
eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as you have
reasonably requested pursuant to Section 5.6 above and the printing of memoranda
relating thereto, for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the
rating of the Certificates, and for expenses incurred in distributing the
Prospectus (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the
Underwriter. Except as herein provided, you shall be responsible for paying all
costs and expenses incurred by you, including the fees and disbursements of your
counsel, in connection with the purchase and sale of the Certificates.
5.8 If, during the period after the Closing Date in which a prospectus
relating to the Certificates is required to be delivered under the Act, the
Company receives notice that a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or preventing the offer and sale of the Certificates is
in effect, the Company will advise you of the issuance of such stop order.
5.9 The Company shall file the Computational Materials and ABS Term
Sheets (if any) provided to it by the Underwriter under Section 4.2(f) with the

or based upon any legend regarding original issue discount on any Certificate
resulting from incorrect information provided by the Underwriter in the
certificates described in Section 4.3 hereof.
7.3 In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to either clause 7.1 or 7.2, such person (the "indemnified
party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be
sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon
request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such
firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to clause 7. 1 and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to clause 7.2. The indemnifying party may, at its option, at any time
upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any
proceeding and may designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would have
no actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such
representation. Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding,
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of
any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent
of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for release of the
indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding
which have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the
other parties to such settlement, without the consent of the indemnified party.
7.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under clause 7.1 or 7.2 hereof or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from
the offering of the Certificates but also the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and of the Underwriter, on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriter on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or by the Underwriter, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
7.5 The Company and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the considerations referred to in clause 7.4, above. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to
the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim except where the indemnified party is required to bear such
expenses pursuant to clause 7.4; which expenses the indemnifying, party shall
pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent
that the indemnifying party believes that it will be ultimately obligated to pay
such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party
are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying
party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the
amount so paid to the party which made such payment. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.6 The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company in this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Underwriter or
on behalf of the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter or by or
on behalf of the Company and its respective directors or officers or any person
controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the
Certificates.
8. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by
notice given to the Company, if the sale of the Certificates provided for herein
is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company
to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement,
or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform their respective
obligations under this Agreement. If you terminate this Agreement in accordance
with this Section 8, the Company will reimburse you for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
that shall have been reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with
the proposed purchase and sale of the Certificates.
9. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the
Company or the officers of the Company, and you set forth in or made pursuant to
this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by you or on your
behalf or made by or on behalf of the Company or any of its officers, directors
or controlling persons, and will survive delivery of and payment for the
Certificates.
10. NOTICES. All communications hereunder will be in writing and
effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriter will be mailed,
delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to you at [____________________________],
Attention: _______________________or if sent to the Company, will be mailed,
delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at
[_______________________________________].
11. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers
and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and their
successors and assigns, and no other person will have any right or obligation
hereunder.
12. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
13. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, of which shall be deemed an original, which taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our
agreement, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, whereupon this
letter and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement between the
Company and you.

[Quick Loan Funding Mortgage Acceptance Corporation]
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series _______
--------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to [Quick Loan Funding Mortgage Acceptance
Corporation] (the "Company") in connection with the issuance and sale by the
Company of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series ____- ____ (the
"Certificates"), pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
_______________ 1, ____ (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the
Company, [Name of Master Servicer], as master servicer (the "Master Servicer")
and [Name of Trustee], as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Certificates consist of
____________ classes designated as Class A and Class R (collectively, the
"Senior Certificates") and ____________ classes of subordinated certificates
designated as Class M and Class B. Only the Senior Certificates and the Class M
Certificates (collectively, the "Offered Certificates") are being offered under
the Prospectus, dated __________, _____, and the Prospectus Supplement, dated
_________, ____ (the Prospectus Supplement together with the Prospectus, the
"Prospectus").
The Senior Certificates in the aggregate and the Class M Certificates
will evidence initial undivided ownership interests, in a trust fund (the "Trust
Fund") consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family first mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") held by [Name of Custodian], as custodian (the
"Custodian"), pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, dated as of _______________
1, ____, among the Company, the Master Servicer, the Custodian and the Trustee
(the "Custodial Agreement"). ______________________ (the "Purchaser") acquired
the Mortgage Loans through its mortgage loan purchase program from various
seller/servicers. The Purchaser transferred the Mortgage Loans to the Company
pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated _________ __, ____
(the "Assignment and Assumption Agreement"), in exchange for immediately
available funds, and the Class M and Class B Certificates. The Company will sell
the Class A and the Class R Certificates other than a de minimis portion thereof
(the "Underwritten Certificates") to _______________________ (the
"Underwriter"), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated _____________ __,
____, between the Company and the Underwriter (the "Underwriting Agreement"; the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, the Underwriting
Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, collectively, the
"Agreements"). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Agreements. This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Section
6.4 of the Underwriting Agreement.
In rendering this opinion letter, we have examined the documents
described above and such other documents as we have deemed necessary including,
where we have deemed appropriate, representations or certifications of officers
of parties thereto or public officials. In rendering this opinion letter, except
for the matters that are specifically addressed in the opinions expressed below,
we have assumed (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us
as copies, (ii) the necessary entity formation and continuing existence in the
jurisdiction of formation, and the necessary licensing and qualification in all
jurisdictions, of all parties to all documents, (iii) the necessary
authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of all documents, and the
necessary entity power with respect thereto and (iv) that there is not any other
agreement that modifies or supplements the agreements expressed in the documents
to which this opinion letter relates and that renders any of the opinions
expressed below inconsistent with such documents as so modified or supplemented.
In rendering this opinion letter, we have made no inquiry, have conducted no
investigation and assume no responsibility with respect to (a) the accuracy of
and compliance by the parties thereto with the representations, warranties and
covenants contained in any document or (b) the conformity of the underlying
assets and related documents to the requirements of the agreements to which this
opinion letter relates.
Our opinions set forth below with respect to the enforceability of any
right or obligation under any agreement are subject to (i) general principles of
equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
dealings and the possible unavailability of specific performance and injunctive
relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law,
(ii) the effect of certain laws, regulations and judicial and other decisions
upon the availability and enforceability of certain covenants, remedies and
other provisions, including the remedies of specific performance and self-help
and provisions imposing penalties and forfeitures and waiving objections to
venue and forum, (iii) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization,
liquidation, voidable preference, fraudulent conveyance and transfer, moratorium
and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors or secured parties and
(iv) public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the extent
that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability of the
provisions of any agreement which purport or are construed to provide
indemnification with respect to securities law violations. Wherever we indicate
that our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is based on
our knowledge, our opinion is based solely on the current actual knowledge of
the attorneys in this firm who are involved in the representation of parties to
the transactions described herein. In that regard we have conducted no special
or independent investigation of factual matters in connection with this opinion
letter.
In rendering this opinion letter, we do not express any opinion
concerning any law other than the federal laws of the United States, the laws of
the State of New York and the [laws of the State of Delaware]. We do not express
any opinion with respect to the securities laws of any jurisdiction or any other
matter not specifically addressed in the opinions expressed below.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act,
and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued and not withdrawn, and no proceedings for
that purpose have been instituted or threatened under Section 8(d) of the 1933
Act.
2. The Registration Statement as of the date of the Prospectus
Supplement and the date hereof, and the Prospectus as of the date of the
Prospectus Supplement and the date hereof, other than any financial or
statistical information, Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets contained
or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no opinion herein,
complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act
and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
3. To our knowledge, there are no material contracts, indentures or
other documents of a character required to be described or referred to in either
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement, other than Computational Materials and ABS Term Sheets
as to which we express no opinion herein, and those described or referred to
therein or filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto.
4. The statements made in the Prospectus under the heading "Description
of the Securities," insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain
provisions of the Offered Certificates and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
provide a fair summary of such provisions. The statements made in the Basic
Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, under the headings
"Federal Income Tax Consequences," "Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage
Loans-Applicability of Usury Laws" and "-Alternative Mortgage Instruments" and
"ERISA Considerations," to the extent that they constitute matters of State of
New York or federal law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, while not
purporting to discuss all possible consequences of investment in the Offered
Certificates, are correct in all material respects with respect to those
consequences or matters that are discussed therein.
5. The Offered Certificates, assuming the execution, authentication and
delivery thereof in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
delivery thereof and payment therefor in accordance with the Underwriting
Agreement, are validly issued and outstanding and are entitled to the benefits
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
6. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Trust Fund created by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not an "investment company" or "controlled
by" an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
7. The Class A Certificates will be "mortgage related securities" as
defined in Section 3(a)(41) of the 1934 Act, as amended, so long as such class
is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least one "nationally
recognized statistical rating organization" as that term is used in that
Section.
8. Assuming compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, for federal income tax purposes, REMIC I and REMIC II will each
qualify as a real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC") within the
meaning of Sections 860A through 860G (the "REMIC Provisions") of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, the Class R-I Certificates will constitute the sole class
of "residual interests" in REMIC I, each class of Offered Certificates will
represent ownership of "regular interests" in REMIC II and will generally be
treated as debt instruments of REMIC II and the Class R-II Certificates will
constitute the sole class of "residual certificates" in REMIC II, within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions in effect on the date hereof.
9. Assuming compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, for City and State of New York income and corporation franchise tax
purposes, REMIC I and REMIC II will each be classified as a REMIC and not as a
corporation, partnership or trust, in conformity with the federal income tax
treatment of the Trust Fund. Accordingly, REMIC I and REMIC II will be exempt
from all City and State of New York taxation imposed on its income, franchise or
capital stock, and its assets will not be included in the calculation of any
franchise tax liability.
This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each addressee
hereof, and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon. Copies of this
opinion letter may not be made available, and this opinion letter may not be
quoted or referred to in any other document made available, to any other person
or entity except to (i) any applicable rating agency, credit enhancer or
governmental authority, (ii) any accountant or attorney for any person or entity
entitled hereunder to rely hereon or to whom or which this opinion letter may be

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series ____-_____
-----------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to [Quick Loan Funding Mortgage Acceptance
Corporation] (the "Company") in connection with the issuance and sale by the
Company of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series ____- ____ (the
"Certificates"), pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of

Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement and the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement, collectively, the "Agreements").
Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Agreements. This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Section 6.4 of the
Underwriting Agreement.
The primary purpose of our professional engagement was to advise with
respect to legal matters and not to establish factual matters. Many
determinations involved in the preparation of the Prospectus Supplement were
factual. However, at the request of the Seller we reviewed the information
contained in the Prospectus Supplement (other than the information presented in
tabular form) under the captions "Summary of Prospectus Supplement--the Mortgage
Loans," "Risk Factors" and "The Mortgage Pool" (collectively, the
"Information"). We were not engaged to and did not review any other portion of
the Prospectus Supplement or any portion of the Prospectus, and we did not
prepare any of the documents evidencing, or close, any of the Mortgage Loans.
We have not otherwise undertaken any procedures that were intended or
likely to elicit information concerning the accuracy, completeness or fairness
of the Information other than as provided below. We are not otherwise advising
in this letter with respect to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
statistical, accounting or other financial information contained in the
Information or not contained in the Information and from which the Information
was derived. It is our position that we are not "experts" within the meaning of
Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, or "persons" within the meaning of
Section 11(a)(4) thereof, with respect to any portion of the Prospectus
Supplement or the Prospectus, including without limitation such accounting,
financial and statistical information.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, this is to inform you that no
information has come to the attention of the attorneys in this firm who are
involved in the representation of the Seller in this matter that causes us to
believe that the Information, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement or
hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
This letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each addressee hereof,
and no other person or entity is entitled to rely hereon. Copies of this letter
may not be made available, and this letter may not be quoted or referred to in
any other document made available, to any other person or entity except to (i)
any applicable rating agency, credit enhancer or governmental authority, (ii)
any accountant or attorney for any person or entity entitled hereunder to rely
hereon or to whom or which this letter may be made available as provided herein
or (iii) as otherwise required by law.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the issuance of the above-referenced Certificates
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of ____________ 1,
_____ (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among [Quick Loan Funding
Mortgage Acceptance Corporation], as Company, [Name of Master Servicer], as
Master Servicer and [Name of Trustee], as Trustee (the "Trustee"), we have been
asked to furnish this opinion. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and
relied upon the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and of such documents,
instruments and certificates, and we have made such investigations of law, as we
have deemed appropriate as the basis for the opinions expressed below. We have
assumed but have not verified that the signatures on all documents that we have
examined are genuine and that each person signing each such document was duly
authorized to sign such document on behalf of the person or entity purported to
be bound thereby.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Trustee has full corporate power and authority to execute
and deliver the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodial
Agreement and the Certificates and to perform its obligations
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement.
2. Each of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the Trustee, and the Trustee has duly executed and delivered
the Certificates as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
3. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the
Trustee in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
receivership and similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
laws of the State of New York.
We are furnishing this opinion to you solely for your benefit. This
opinion may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any
other purpose.

10% of a class of Certificates have been sold to the public but no

(iii) if less than 10% of the aggregate principal balance of a class of

each class of Certificates in clause (3) by the purchase price paid by
the Underwriter for all the Certificates; and (5) for each class of
Certificates, dividing the product obtained from such class of
Certificates in clause (4) by the original principal balance of such
