Re: Southern Pacific Secured Assets Corp. Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement dated as of March 28. 1997
------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Southern Pacific Secured
Assets Corp., a California corporation (the "Company"). This opinion is being
delivered in connection with the sale of certain mortgage loans by Southern
Pacific Funding Corporation (the "Seller") to the Company, pursuant to that
certain Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 28, 1997, between
the Company and Seller (the "Purchase Agreement") and the simultaneous deposit
by the Company of such mortgage loans into a trust fund pursuant to that certain
Subsequent Transfer Instrument dated as of March 28, 1997, between the Company
and Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Trustee of the Southern Pacific Secured
Assets Corp. Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-1
(the "Subsequent Transfer Instrument" and together with the Purchase Agreement,
the "Documents"). Our representation has been limited solely to rendering this
opinion and we have not participated in any way in the negotiation or drafting
of the Documents. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals or
copies of those corporate and other records and documents we considered
appropriate. As to relevant factual matters, we have relied upon, among other
things, the factual representations of the parties contained in certificates of
officers of the Company. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon those
certificates of public officials we deemed appropriate. Such factual matters
have not been independently established or verified by us.

Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., et al.
March 28, 1997
Page 2
Our use of the terms "known to us," "to our knowledge," or a
similar phrase to qualify a statement in this opinion means that those attorneys
in this firm who have given substantive attention to the representation
described in the introductory paragraph of this opinion do not have current
actual knowledge that the statement is inaccurate. Such terms do not include any
knowledge of other attorneys within our firm (regardless of whether they have
represented or are representing the Company in connection with any other matter)
or any constructive or imputed knowledge of any matters or items of information.
We have not undertaken any investigation to determine the accuracy of the
statement, including any review of litigation dockets or any inquiry of the
Company, its officers or any other persons concerning (i) existing or threatened
litigation involving the Company, (ii) material agreements to which the Company
is a party, or (iii) orders, judgments or decrees binding upon the Company, and
any limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion
letter should not be regarded as such an investigation. No inference as to our
knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be
drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company in connection with this
opinion letter or in other matters.
The term "threatened litigation" used herein shall have the
same meaning as the term "overtly threatened" used in the American Bar
Association Statement of Policy on Lawyer's Responses to Auditors' Requests for
Information dated January 15, 1976.
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the legal capacity
of all natural persons and the conformity with originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies. To the extent the Company's obligations depend on the
due authorization, execution and delivery of the Documents by the other parties
to the Documents, we have assumed that the Documents have been so authorized,
executed and delivered and that they constitute the legally valid and binding
obligation of each such party enforceable against such party in accordance with
its respective terms. We have further assumed the conformity of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents to the requirements of the Documents.
We have also assumed, without independent verification, that
there are no agreements or understandings among the Company and any other party
which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the documents
described herein or the respective rights or obligations of the parties
thereunder.
On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the
assumptions contained herein and our consideration of those questions of law we
considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this
opinion, we are of the opinion that:
<PAGE>
Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., et al.
March 28, 1997
Page 3
1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the Statement of California, and has the
corporate power to own its properties and conduct its business as described in
the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder.
2. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Documents to
which the Company is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company, and such Documents have been duly
executed and delivered by the Company.
3. No order, consent, permit or approval of any California governmental
authority that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence,
recognized as directly applicable to the Company or to transactions of the type
contemplated by the Documents, is required on the part of the Company for the
execution and delivery, and performance on or prior to the date of this opinion
under, the Documents, except for such as have been obtained.
4. The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance of
its obligations on or prior to the date hereof under, the Documents to which it
is a party, does not (i) violate the Company's Articles of Incorporation or
bylaws, or to our knowledge (ii) result in a default under the terms of any
indenture or other material agreement or instrument known to us to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound, or (iii) breach or otherwise violate
any existing obligation of the Company under any order, judgment or decree of
any California or federal court or governmental authority binding the Company
and known to us.
5. The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance of
its obligations on or prior to the date hereof under, the Documents to which it
is a party, does not subject the Company to any fine, penalty or similar
sanction under any material California statute or regulation that we have, in
the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as directly
applicable to the Company or the transactions of the type contemplated by the
Documents except in any case where the default, breach, fine or penalty would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to perform its
obligations under the Documents.
6. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or threatened (i.e., threatened litigation) against the
Company which, in our judgment, would draw into question the validity of the
Documents or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of either to
perform its obligations under the terms of the Documents to which it is a party.

On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the

by which it is bound, or (iii) breach or otherwise violate any existing
