Section 4. Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that (without addressing characterization for GAAP purposes) the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by RWT to Sequoia be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof.

RWT and Sequoia shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. RWT shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned hereunder.

Section 5. Termination.

(a) Sequoia may terminate this Agreement, by notice to RWT, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date:

(i) if the Underwriting Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement or if the Underwriters do not complete the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement as the result of the failure of any condition set forth therein or if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, any material adverse change in the financial

condition,earnings, business affairs or business prospects of RWT, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or

(ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriters, impracticable to market the Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Certificates, or

(iii) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate automatically without any required notice or other action by any party hereto if the Closing Date for the issuance of the Certificates has not occurred by September 15, 2006.

(c) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the completion of all sales contemplated hereby, the representations, warranties and agreements in Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect.

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Amendments, Etc. No rescission, modification, amendment, supplement or change of this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by all of the parties to this Agreement. No amendment of this Agreement may modify or waive the representations, warranties and agreements set forth in Sections 1 and 2 hereof.

(b) Binding Upon Successors, Etc. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by RWT and Sequoia, and the respective successors and assigns thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that Sequoia is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of pledging, transferring, assigning, setting over and otherwise conveying them to the Trustee, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for inclusion in the Trust Fund. As an inducement to Sequoia to purchase the Mortgage Loans, RWT acknowledges and consents to the assignment to the Trustee by Sequoia of all of Sequoia’s rights against RWT hereunder in respect of the Mortgage Loans sold to Sequoia and that the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against RWT hereunder by the Trustee or to the extent permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have the same force and effect as if enforced and exercised by Sequoia directly.

(c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(e) Headings. The headings of the several parts of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference and are not intended to be a part of or affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Until one year plus one day shall have elapsed since the termination of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither RWT nor any assignee of RWT shall petition or otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against Sequoia under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of Sequoia or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of Sequoia.

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE SELLER
PLEDGED MORTGAGE RERESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
ON LOANS PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM ORIGINATORS

Mortgage Loans Purchased under the Master Mortgage Loan Sale & Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2006 between RWT Holdings, Inc. (“RWT Holdings”) and ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc. (the “Seller/Servicer”) (the “ABN AMRO-RWT Agreement”).

With respect to each Mortgage Loan, RWT Holdings hereby makes the following representations and warranties. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), unless otherwise indicated. Capitalized terms are as defined in this Schedule A or in the ABN AMRO-RWT Agreement.

( a ) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including any diskette or other related data tape sent to Purchaser is true and correct in all material respects and the information provided to the rating agencies, including the loan level detail, is true and correct according to the rating agency requirements.

( b ) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, governmental assessments, leasehold payments or other outstanding charges affecting the lien priority of the related Mortgage.

( c ) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, and the Mortgage has been recorded or sent for recording, if necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

( d ) No event has occurred which would give Mortgagor any right of rescission, set-off, or defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable in whole or in part (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and by general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and the time the Mortgage Loan was originated.

( e ) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 11.10 of this Agreement. All such insurance policies

contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan, and its successors and assigns, as mortgagee. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the National Flood Insurance Program is in effect and such policy conforms to the Agency Guidelines. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and, on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.

( f ) Seller has complied with all requirements of federal law, and, to the extent not preempted thereby, state or local law applicable to the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, fair housing, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, or disclosure laws. No Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan, “covered” mortgage loan, “high risk home” mortgage loan, or “predatory” mortgage loan or any comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or local law, (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, or any other statute or regulation providing for heightened regulatory scrutiny or assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans, or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS Glossary Revised, Appendix E). With respect to each Mortgage Loan, Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”).The origination, servicing and collection practices with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been legal and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and in all material respects in accordance with Customary Servicing Procedures.

( g ) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, or rescinded, or, in the case of a First Lien Mortgage, subordinated, and the Mortgaged Property has not been fully released from the lien of the Mortgage, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, rescission, release, or, in the case of a First Lien Mortgage, subordination.

( h ) If the Mortgage Loan is a First Lien Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable First Lien Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and by general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law, and subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions which do not materially affect adversely the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property

(i) If the Mortgage Loan is a Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable Second Lien Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property, including all

improvements on the Mortgaged Property, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and by general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law, and subject only to (i) the First Lien Mortgage, (ii) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (iii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions which do not materially affect adversely the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, and (iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.

(j) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and (ii) general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(k) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

(l) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor, and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder.

(m) If required by the Underwriting Guidelines, the Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other form of title insurance policy acceptable to the Agency, issued by a title insurer acceptable to the Agency and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in paragraph (h) (i) (ii) and (iii) above for First Lien Mortgage Loans and in paragraph (i)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above for Second Lien Mortgage Loans) the originator and its successors and assigns as to the first or second mortgage lien priority, as applicable, in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Seller is the insured under such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the related Closing Date. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.

(n) There is no default or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note, and Seller has not waived any default or event of acceleration. With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, as of the related Closing Date, (i) the First Lien Mortgage Loan is in full force and effect, (ii) Seller has not received any notice of default under the First Lien Mortgage Loan or its related First Lien Mortgage which has not been cured, and (iii) Seller has not waived any default or event of acceleration with respect thereto.

(o) The Mortgage Loan was either (A) originated by (i) a savings and loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance company, or similar banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or (ii) a Mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211

of the National Housing Act; or (B) originated and underwritten by an entity employing underwriting standards consistent with the underwriting standards of an institution described in (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above.

(p) Unless otherwise disclosed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Loan has an original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. The Mortgage Note evidencing a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan requires a monthly payment which is sufficient to fully amortize the unpaid principal balance over the remaining term and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Mortgage Note evidencing an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan requires a Monthly Payment that is sufficient (after the IO Conversion Date with respect to an IO Mortgage Loan) (i) during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to amortize the original principal balance fully over the remaining term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (ii) during the period following each Adjustment Date, to amortize the outstanding principal balance fully as of the first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. In any case, no Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative amortization. Payments of principal and/or interest on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.

(q) There is no proceeding pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, and such property is in good repair and is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty, so as to materially affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.

(r) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, or (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and by general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law. Following the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;

(s) The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to the Agency.

(t) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property.

(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the Mortgage Loan application by a Qualified Appraiser and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy the requirements of the Agency and Title XI of FIRREA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, if applicable, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to the Agency;

(v) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(w) The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan or buydown loan, and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

(x) All material disclosures required by applicable law with respect to the making of mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loan have been made, including rescission materials required by applicable law if the Mortgage Loan is a Refinanced Mortgage Loan.

(y) Each Conventional First Lien Mortgage Loan that had a LTV at origination in excess of 80% will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, in at least such amount as is required by the Agency. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any First Lien Mortgage Loan subject to any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith unless terminable in accordance with the Agency Guidelines or applicable law.

(z) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(aa) All payments required to be made prior to the related Cut-off Date for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made.

(bb) All escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller and have been handled in accordance with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”). If such Mortgage Loan provides that the interest rate on the principal balance of the Mortgage Note may be adjusted, all of the terms of the Mortgage Note pertaining to interest rate adjustments, payment adjustments and adjustments of the outstanding principal balance are enforceable (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of the rights of creditors and by general principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law), and all such adjustments have been properly made, including any required notices, and such adjustments do not and will not affect the priority of the Mortgage lien. No payment with respect to the Mortgage Loan has been delinquent during the preceding twelve-month period;

(cc) Immediately prior to the payment of the Purchase Price, Seller was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan was not assigned or pledged by Seller and Seller had good and marketable title thereto, and Seller had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, participation interest, lien, equity, pledge, claim or security interest and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or participation in, or agreement with, any other party to sell or otherwise transfer the Mortgage Loan.

(dd) The Mortgage Loan compiles with all the terms conditions and requirements of the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination with exceptions thereto exercised in a reasonable manner.

(ee) With respect to Mortgage Loans that are secured by a leasehold estate, the lease is valid, in full force and effect, and conforms to the Agency Guidelines for leasehold estates.

As of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and, since the date of origination no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes;

(hh) Seller used no adverse selection procedures in selecting the Mortgage Loan from among the residential mortgage loans owned by it which were available for inclusion in the Mortgage Loans.

(ii) Seller has delivered to Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan as required by this Agreement and/or the Commitment Letter.

(jj) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.

(kk) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state, or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state.

(mm) If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development), or stock in a cooperative housing corporation, such condominium, cooperative or planned unit development project meets the eligibility requirements of the Agency.

(nn) There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue; to Seller’s knowledge, there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation with respect to the Mortgaged Property; and nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property.

(oo) The Mortgagor has not notified Seller requesting relief under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act, formerly known as the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940, and Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act.
