This AMENDED AND RESTATED POOLING AGREEMENT, dated as of January 1, 2014 (the “Agreement”), by and between SEQUOIA RESIDENTIAL FUNDING, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking association, as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

This Agreement amends and restates the Original Agreement. Under the Original Agreement, there was no separate securities administrator and the Trustee acted as Authenticating Agent, Certificate Registrar and Paying Agent. Commencing on the date hereof, Citibank, N.A. will act as Securities Administrator under this Agreement, and will also act in the related capacities of Authenticating Agent, Certificate Registrar and Paying Agent. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. will continue to act as Trustee under this Agreement, as it did under the Original Agreement.

For clarification purposes, the Original Agreement governs the liabilities, rights and obligations of the parties thereto from the Closing Date up to but excluding January 1, 2014. This Agreement governs the liabilities, rights and obligations of the parties hereto from and including January 1, 2014 forward.

The Depositor acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller and as of the Closing Date was the owner of the Mortgage Loans and related property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor acquired the Certificates from the Trustee as consideration for the Depositor’s transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans, and the other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Original Agreement to provide for the conveyance to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the related property constituting the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and in this Agreement and the Original Agreement and by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee herein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust Fund, are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee has accepted the Trust Fund, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

Under the Original Agreement, the Trustee elected that the Trust Fund be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC,” respectively), and each Certificate, other than the Class R Certificate and the Class LT-R Certificate, was designated as a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein. Under the Original Agreement, the Class R Certificate was designated as the sole class of residual interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

The Class LT-R Certificate evidences ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC (the “LT-R Interest”). The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets all property of the Trust Fund, other than the interests in any REMIC formed hereby. Each Lower-Tier Interest other than the LT-R Interest shall be uncertificated and was designated under the Original Agreement as a regular interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC and the LT-R Interest was designated under the Original Agreement as the sole Class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the Lower-Tier Interests other than the LT-R Interest.

The foregoing elections, representations and designations are hereby expressly affirmed under this Agreement.

The Lower-Tier REMIC Interests

The following table sets forth (or describes), as of the Closing Date, the Class designation, interest rate, and initial Class Principal Amount for each Class of Lower-Tier Interests:

(4)	The LT-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

On each Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount distributable as interest shall be deemed to have been distributed as interest with respect to the Lower-Tier Interests based on the interest rates described above. On each Distribution Date, Interest Shortfalls shall be allocated to each Lower -Tier Interest to the same extent that such Interest Shortfalls are allocated to the related Class of Upper-Tier Interests.

On each Distribution Date, the remaining Available Distribution Amount distributable to with respect principal shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Lower-Tier Interests as follows:

(i)

first, to the Lower-Tier Xxxxxxxx XX-X0, the LT-R Interest and the LT-RR Interest, until their respective Class Principal Amounts equal the sum of the Class Principal Amounts of their Corresponding Classes of Certificates (other than any interest-only certificates) immediately after taking account of the distributions to such Classes of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02;

third, to the LT-B2 Interest until its Class Principal Amount equals the Class Principal Amount of the Class B-2 Certificate immediately after taking account of the distributions to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02;

(iv)

fourth, to the LT-B3 Interest until its Class Principal Amount equals the Class Principal Amount of the Class B-3 Certificate immediately after taking account of the distributions to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02;

(v)

fifth, to the LT-B4 Interest until its Class Principal Amount equals the Class Principal Amount of the Class B-4 Certificate immediately after taking account of the distributions to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02; and

(vi)

finally, to the LT-R Interest, any remaining amounts.

provided, however, that there shall be no reduction in the Senior Prepayment Percentage unless the Step-Down Test is satisfied; and provided, further, that if on any such Distribution Date on or after the Distribution Date in May 2017, the Senior Percentage exceeds the initial Senior Percentage, the Senior Prepayment Percentage for that Distribution Date shall again equal 100%.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Two Times Test is satisfied, on any Distribution Date (i) before the Distribution Date in May 2013, the Senior Prepayment Percentage shall equal the Senior Percentage for such Distribution Date plus 50% of an amount equal to the 100% minus the Senior Percentage for such Distribution Date and (ii) on or after the Distribution Date in May 2013, the Senior Prepayment Percentage shall equal the Senior Percentage for such Distribution Date. In addition, if on any Distribution Date the allocation to the Senior Certificates then entitled to distributions of principal of full and partial Principal Prepayments and other amounts in the percentage required above would reduce the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of those Certificates to below zero, the Senior Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution Date shall be limited to the percentage necessary to reduce that Class Principal Amount to zero.

Senior Principal Distribution Amount: With respect to the Mortgage Loans and any Distribution Date, the sum of:

(1) the Senior Percentage of all amounts described in clause (a) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” for that Distribution Date;

(4) any amounts described in clauses (1) through (3) that remain unpaid with respect to the Senior Certificates from prior Distribution Dates;

provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Subordinate Certificates was reduced to less than or equal to 0.75% of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount for each succeeding Distribution Date will include all principal collections on the Mortgage Loans distributable on that Distribution Date, and the Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount will be zero, until the aggregate of the Class Principal Amounts of the Senior Certificates is reduced to zero.

Section 2.04 Discovery of Seller Breach; Repurchase of Mortgage Loans.

(a) Pursuant to Section 2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller has (i) represented and warranted as of the Closing Date that, immediately prior to its transfer of Mortgage Loans under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller owned and had good, valid and marketable title to the Mortgage Loans free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person and (ii) made certain other representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and each of the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the Mortgage Loans (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust Fund satisfy such representations and warranties. The Depositor, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, hereby assigns any rights it has against the Seller with respect to such representations and warranties to the Trustee, and the Seller acknowledges that it has agreed to comply with the provisions of this Section 2.04 in respect of a breach of any of such representations and warranties.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement shall survive delivery of the Trustee Mortgage Files and the sale and assignment of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Seller of the breach by the Seller of any representation or warranty under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan, which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”) (each of such parties hereby agreeing to give written notice thereof to the Trustee and the other of such parties), the Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify the Depositor in writing of such breach and request that the Depositor cure or cause the cure of such breach within 90 days from the earlier of the date that the Depositor discovered or was notified of such breach, and if the Depositor does not cure or cause the cure of such breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90-day period (subject to Section 2.04(b) below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90-day period, the Seller shall be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan no later than 120 days after its discovery or notice of such breach,, and provided further, that, if such breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous provisions of this paragraph, the Seller shall be required to repurchase the Defective Mortgage Loan within 60 days from the date the defect was discovered. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon receipt of written certification of such deposit, shall release to the Seller, the related Trustee Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall furnish to the Trustee and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, to cause the cure of or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the such party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.04, to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(b) The Seller indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of the Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance with the terms of this Section 2.04 and the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, to the extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 2.05 Obligations in respect of Alleged Breach of Originator Representations and Warranties.

(a) If the Controlling Holder has notified the Trustee that it will not pursue an action in respect of an alleged breach by the Originator of a representation and warranty set forth in Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement relating to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, then the Trustee will pursue such action only upon its receipt of (i) written direction to do so by the Holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Voting Interests of the Class A-1 and Class A-IO Certificates and (ii) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, and to provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action, the Trustee shall seek reimbursement for the Trustee’s costs and expenses from the Originator under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee recovers any such costs and expenses from the Originator, the Trustee will pay such amounts to the Certificateholders that had provided funds to the Trustee pursuant to the agreement described in clause (ii) above. Costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall not be reimbursed by the Trust Fund.

(b) If there is no Controlling Holder under this Agreement, the Trustee shall review or cause to be reviewed each Mortgage Loan that has been Delinquent for more than 120 days, other than any such Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a previous arbitration proceeding under the Servicing Agreement, to review whether there is evidence of any breaches of the representations and warranties given by the Originator or Seller occurred. The Trustee may engage a third party or Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., to perform such review and report its findings to the Trustee. Any such review shall include, at a minimum, a review as to whether the Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Originator’s underwriting standards in effect at the time of origination, whether the Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, and whether any fraud may have occurred in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. If as a result of such review, there is evidence that a breach of representation or warranty may have occurred requiring the Originator or Seller to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee will enforce such repurchase obligation, including participating in an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the Servicing Agreement if necessary. Any fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), to the extent not reimbursed by the Originator or Seller, as applicable, within ninety days of a written request from the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount. In connection with any such action against the Originator, the Trustee shall seek reimbursement for the Trustee’s fees, costs and expenses from the Originator under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee recovers any such fees, costs and expenses from the Originator, the Trustee will pay such amounts to the Trust Fund.

(c) Furthermore, if there is no Controlling Holder under this Agreement, except as otherwise specified in Section 2.05(b), the Trustee will pursue an action in respect of an alleged breach by the Originator of a representation and warranty set forth in Section 6.01 of the Servicing Agreement relating to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, only upon its receipt of (i) written direction to do so by the Holders of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates and (ii) an agreement by Holders directing the Trustee to take such action to provide in advance to the Trustee funds to pay for any costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, and to provide any indemnification reasonably requested by the Trustee. In connection with any such action, the Trustee shall seek reimbursement for the Trustee’s costs and expenses from the Originator under the terms of the Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee recovers any such costs and expenses from the Originator, the Trustee will pay such amounts to the Certificateholders that had provided funds to the Trustee pursuant to the agreement described in clause (ii) above. Costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.05(c), to the extent not reimbursed by the Originator or the applicable Certificateholders, shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund, subject to the limitation in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

(d) If the Originator has breached a representation under the Servicing Agreement stating that a Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the REMIC Provisions) and the Originator fails to repurchase such non-qualified Mortgage Loan within ninety days from the date the defect was

discovered, the Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Mortgage Loan for its fair market value, as determined by the Depositor and which may be less than its outstanding principal balance, within ninety days from the date the defect was discovered. The Trustee will release the applicable Mortgage Loan upon receipt of the sale price in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a) hereof.

Section 2.06 Intention of Parties.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended by each of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan or other obligation, so that the Trustee shall be the owner of the Trust Fund for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates.

However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, then (a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement, and (b) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of, and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, to secure all of the Depositor’s obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans, (ii) all other property in the Trust Fund, (iii) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter of credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing, and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing.

(b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will, at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in the Trust Fund, including without limitation (i) continuation statements, and (ii) such other statements as may be occasioned by (A) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (B) any change of location of the Seller or the Depositor, or (C) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable laws. Neither of the Seller nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under the laws of an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).

Section 2.07 Controlling Holder Purchase Right and Assumption of Servicing Agreement Rights

(a) The Controlling Holder may, at its option, purchase from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan that is 120 days or more Delinquent for a purchase price, determined in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Controlling Holder, to be then fair market value of such Mortgage Loan at the time of purchase, provided that at the time of repurchase the Mortgage Loan remains Delinquent. Upon receipt of such purchase price from the Controlling Holder, the Trustee shall release the applicable Mortgage Loan to

the Controlling Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(a) hereof. Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, any purchase under this Section 2.07 shall be subject to the prior consent of the Servicer, which consent shall be governed by Section 13(b) of the Acknowledgement.

(b) By its purchase of the applicable Class of Subordinate Certificates, the Controlling Holder assumes the rights of the Trustee as “Purchaser” under the Servicing Agreement as set forth in Section 12(a) of the Acknowledgement and shall be entitled to exercise such rights in its sole discretion. The Depositor, the Controlling Holder and each other Certificateholder, by its acceptance of any Certificate or any beneficial ownership interest therein, each acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Controlling Holder may exercise such rights in such a manner that may not be in the best interests of all of the Certificateholders, (ii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability with respect to any acts or omissions of the Controlling Holder in the exercise of such rights, and (iii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any duty or obligation to exercise any such rights in the place or stead of the Controlling Holder (so long as there is a Controlling Holder) or to monitor or oversee the exercise of any such rights by the Controlling Holder.

(c) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Controlling Holder as may be reasonably necessary for the Controlling Holder to exercise its rights hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.05, the Trustee shall not be required to take any legal action or participate in or facilitate any arbitration proceeding or other litigation relating to the Mortgage Loans or the obligations of the Originator or Servicer with respect thereto unless and until it is directed in writing by the Controlling Holder and it is assured of the recovery of its expenses from the Controlling Holder.

(d) The Controlling Holder shall indemnify each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and hold it harmless from and against any claim, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred or expended by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator (without negligence or willful misconduct on its part) with respect to claims of a third party arising from any act or omission of the Controlling Holder in the exercise of its rights as Controlling Holder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

(e) If the Controlling Holder transfers its ownership interest in any Class of Certificates in a manner resulting in there being no Controlling Holder under this Agreement or a change in the Controlling Holder, it shall so notify the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. If the Depositor has actual knowledge of a change in Controlling Holder or that there is no Controlling Holder under this Agreement, it shall so notify the Trustee and the Securities Administrator.

ARTICLE III

THE CERTIFICATES

Section 3.01 The Certificates.

(a) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the New York UCC. The Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, ownership of which will be held in the minimum denominations in Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, or in the Percentage Interests specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, as applicable.

(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer of the Trustee. Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of the Depositor upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee as described in Section 2.01. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication

substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(c) The Class B-3, Class B-4, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates are offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and shall be issued with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A. The Class-B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates shall be issued initially as Book-Entry Certificates and the Class R and Class LT-R Certificates shall be issued only as Definitive Certificates.

Section 3.02 Registration.

The Certificate Registrar shall maintain books for the registration and transfer of Certificates (the “Certificate Register”). A registration book shall be maintained for the Certificates collectively. The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee or Securities Administrator and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.

Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

(a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall be permitted to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signatures of the transferor and transferee, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Certificate Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Certificate Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act.

(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.

The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:

(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor or (y) being made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act by a transferor that has provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of Exhibit E-1 hereto and has furnished to the Certificate Registrar a certificate of the transferee in the form of Exhibit E-2 hereto; and

(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

(d) (i) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Securities Administrator, has received (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or Exhibit B, in the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in prohibited transactions under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, Securities Administrator or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit G. The preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(d) and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent shall have any liability for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of, or an entity holding “plan assets” of, a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of, or an entity holding “plan assets” of, a Plan.

(ii) If any ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, then upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written notice that the registration of transfer of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate was not permitted by

this Section 3.03(d), the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that ERISA-Restricted Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

(e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted Foreign Holder”).

Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed transferor shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition, the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Residual Certificate. None of the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement, so long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder. The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate.

If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of written notice that the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).

The following legend shall appear on all Residual Certificates:

ANY RESALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE ONLY IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES A TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT TO THE DEPOSITOR, THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR AND THE TRUSTEE THAT (1) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT EITHER (A) THE UNITED STATES, ANY STATE OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, ANY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, OR ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, (B) ANY ORGANIZATION (OTHER THAN A COOPERATIVE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 521 OF THE CODE) WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM THE TAX IMPOSED BY CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE UNLESS SUCH ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY SECTION 511 OF THE CODE, (C) ANY ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1381(a)(2)(C) OF THE CODE, (D) AN ELECTING LARGE-PARTNERSHIP WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 775 OF THE CODE (ANY SUCH PERSON DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (A), (B), (C) OR (D) BEING HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS A “DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION”), OR (E) AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND (2) NO PURPOSE OF SUCH TRANSFER IS TO ENABLE THE TRANSFEROR TO IMPEDE THE ASSESSMENT OR COLLECTION OF TAX. SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL INCLUDE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE AND ITS STATUS AS A NON-US PERSON (IF APPLICABLE). NOTWITHSTANDING THE REGISTRATION IN THE CERTIFICATE REGISTER OF ANY TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CLASS [R] [LT-R] CERTIFICATE TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION, SUCH REGISTRATION SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE OF NO LEGAL FORCE OR EFFECT WHATSOEVER AND SUCH PERSON SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A CERTIFICATEHOLDER FOR ANY PURPOSE HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE. EACH HOLDER OF THE CLASS [R] [LT-R] CERTIFICATE BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.

(g) Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s or Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this section.

(h) Neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall be the Holder of any Subordinate Certificates.

Section 3.04 Cancellation of Certificates.

Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar.

Section 3.05 Replacement of Certificates.

If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Certificate Registrar that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Principal Amount. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of the original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued presents for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or any agent in connection therewith.

Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Owners.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry Certificates, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered upon the books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.07 Temporary Certificates.

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of the Depositor, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.

(b) If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of definitive Certificates of the same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class.

Section 3.08 Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent (which may be the Trustee) for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders hereunder. The Trustee hereby appoints the Securities Administrator as the Paying Agent under this Agreement. The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the Securities Administrator or itself, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator as initial Paying Agent under this Agreement hereby agrees with the Trustee, that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in an Eligible Account (which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Securities Administrator to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator. If the Paying Agent is not the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized under law to exercise corporate trust powers.

Section 3.09 Book-Entry Certificates.

(a) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(c):

(i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;

(ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing Agency’s normal procedures;

(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control; and

(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

(b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.

(c) If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the Paying Agent in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Paying Agent or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners

representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates (each such event, a “Book-Entry Termination”), the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator, the Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST FUND

Section 4.01 Custodial Accounts; Distribution Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts, as provided in the Servicing Agreement, into which all Scheduled Payments and unscheduled payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans, net of any deductions or reimbursements permitted under the Servicing Agreement, shall be deposited. The Servicing Agreement requires the Servicer to remit to the Distribution Account all amounts so required to be deposited into such account in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.

(b) The Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent for the Trustee, shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account entitled “Distribution Account of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee for the benefit of Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2010-H1 Holders of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates.” The Securities Administrator shall hold the Distribution Account and all money and other property therein in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Securities Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt from the Servicer on each Servicer Remittance Date, deposit into the Distribution Account and retain on deposit until the related Distribution Date the following amounts:

(i) the aggregate of collections with respect to the Mortgage Loans remitted by the Servicer from the Custodial Accounts in accordance with the Servicing Agreement; and

(ii) any other amounts so required to be deposited in the Distribution Account in the related Due Period pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) In the event the Servicer has remitted in error to the Distribution Account any amount not required to be remitted in accordance with the definition of Available Distribution Amount, it may at any time direct the Securities Administrator to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account for repayment to the Servicer by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer to the Securities Administrator which describes the amount deposited in error.

(d) On each Distribution Date and the final Distribution Date of the Certificates in accordance with Section 7.01, the Securities Administrator, as Paying Agent, shall distribute from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account the Available Distribution Amount to the Certificateholders and any other parties entitled thereto in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.02. The Securities Administrator may, from time to time before making distributions to Certificateholders withdraw from the

Distribution Account and pay to itself, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Servicer any amounts permitted to be paid or reimbursed to such Person from funds in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement which amounts shall result in the reduction of the Available Distribution Amount as provided in the definition thereof in Article I.

(e) Funds in the Distribution Account for the period from each Servicer Remittance Date to the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date shall be invested in Eligible Investments selected by the Trustee, which shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Securities Administrator in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and Holders of the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2010-H1 Certificates.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES

Section 5.01 Distributions Generally.

(a) Subject to Section 7.01 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trustee shall make distributions in accordance with this Article V. Such distributions shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the

account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other depository institution having appropriate wire transfer facilities, provided that the Certificateholder has furnished the Securities Administrator with wire instructions (which may be in the form of standing instructions) no later than seven days prior to the related Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed to the address of the Holder of the Certificate entitled thereto as it appears on the applicable Certificate Register; provided, however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Class of Certificates as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Wire transfers will be made at the expense of the Holder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of each REMIC and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office. If any payment required to be made on the Certificates is to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All distributions or allocations made with respect to the Certificateholders within each Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial Class Principal Amounts or initial Class Notional Amounts (or Percentage Interests).

Section 5.02 Distributions from the Distribution Account.

(a) Subject to Sections 5.02(b) and (c), on each Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent received by the Securities Administrator, shall be withdrawn by the Paying Agent from funds in the Distribution Account and allocated among the Classes of Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates in the following order of priority:

(i) To the payment of the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding Interest Shortfalls on the Class A-1, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates, pro rata, based on the amount of interest to which each such Class is entitled and then to the Class A-IO Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount for such date and Class and any outstanding Interest Shortfalls for such date and Class;

(ii) Sequentially to the Class LT-R Certificates, the Class R Certificates and the Class A-1 Certificates, in that order, the Senior Principal Distribution Amount, until their respective Class Principal Amounts have been reduced to zero;

(iii) to the Class B-1 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(iv) to the Class B-1 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(v) to the Class B-2 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(vi) to the Class B-2 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(vii) to the Class B-3 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(viii) to the Class B-3 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero;

(ix) to the Class B-4 Certificates, the Interest Distribution Amount and any outstanding Interest Shortfalls, in each case, for such Class on such date;

(x) to the Class B-4 Certificates, such Class’ Subordinate Class Percentage of the aggregate Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount, until its Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero; and

(xi) To the Class LT-R Certificates and the Class R Certificates, any remaining amount of the Available Distribution Amount allocated as provided in Section 5.02(d).

(b) On each Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Available Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the remaining Senior Certificates, first, to pay the Interest Distribution Amount and any accrued but unpaid Interest Shortfalls and second, to pay principal on a pro rata basis (on the basis of their Class Principal Amounts), to the remaining Senior Certificates (other than the Interest-Only Certificates).

(c) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation set forth in Section 5.02(a), if with respect to any Class of Subordinate Certificates other than the Class B-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date the sum of the Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all other Classes of Subordinate Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than such Class is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution of principal shall be made to any such Classes. The Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount shall be allocated among the Classes of Subordinate Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro rata, based on the Class Principal Amounts of the respective Classes immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order provided in Section 5.02(a) above.

(d) Amounts distributed to the Residual Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(xi) on any Distribution Date shall be allocated among the REMIC residual interests represented thereby such that each such interest is allocated the excess of funds available to the related REMIC over required distributions to the regular interests in such REMIC on such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Class LT-R Certificate shall be entitled to any amounts representing net gain resulting from the sale of any REO Properties or other Liquidation Proceeds due to the Residual Certificates with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

(e) For purposes of distributions of interest in Section 5.02(a) such distributions to a Class of Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be made first, in respect of Current Interest; and second, in respect of Interest Shortfalls.

(f) Amounts distributed to the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificate) pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have first been distributed from the Lower Tier REMIC to the Upper Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower Tier REMIC regular interests in accord with the distribution provisions for the Lower Tier REMIC set forth in the Preliminary Statement.

(g) On each Distribution Date to the extent of funds available in the Distribution Account, the Paying Agent shall retain an amount equal to the Securities Administrator Fee and shall withdraw amounts equal to the Trustee Fee and shall pay such amounts to the Trustee. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the amounts described in clause (A) and (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

Section 5.03 Allocation of Losses.

(a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall calculate the aggregate Realized Losses for such Distribution Date based on the information with respect to losses as reported to it by the Servicer.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall allocate the principal portion of Realized Losses as follows:

first, to the Classes of Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class B-4 Certificates and ending with the Class B-1 Certificates) until the Class Principal Amount of each such Class is reduced to zero; and

second, to each Class of Senior Certificates (other than the Interest-Only Certificates) (allocated among the Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis), in each case, until the Class Principal Amount of such Class of Senior Certificates is reduced to zero.

(c) On each Distribution Date, the Class Principal Amount of the Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the Certificate Writedown Amount and if no Subordinate Certificates are then outstanding the Class Principal Amount of the Class A-1 Certificates shall be reduced by the Certificate Writedown Amount.

(d) Any allocation of a loss pursuant to this section to a Class of Certificates shall be achieved by reducing the Class Principal Amount thereof by the amount of such loss.

(e) Subsequent Recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Certificates still outstanding, in accordance with Section 5.02, and the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates then outstanding that has been reduced due to application of a Realized Loss will be increased, in order of seniority, by the amount of such Subsequent Recovery.

(f) Realized Losses and the amount of any Certificate Writedown Amount allocated by this Section to a Class of Certificates shall be allocated to the corresponding Lower Tier REMIC Interest and shall reduce the Class Principal Amount of such Lower Tier REMIC Interest to the same extent that the Class Principal Amount of such Class of Certificates is reduced pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Subsequent Recoveries distributed to a Class of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of subsection 5.03(e) shall be deemed to have been distributed to the corresponding Lower Tier REMIC Interest. To the extent that the Class Principal Amount of any Class of Certificates has been increased on account of Subsequent Recoveries pursuant to the provisions of subsection 5.03(e), the principal balance of the corresponding Lower Tier REMIC Interest shall be increased by the same amount.

(g) Any Class of Certificates whose Class Principal Amount has been reduced to zero due to the allocation of Realized Losses will nonetheless remain outstanding under this Agreement and will continue to be entitled to receive Subsequent Recoveries until the termination of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that any such Class of Certificates will not have any voting rights with respect to matters under this Agreement requiring or permitting actions to be taken by any Certificateholders.

Section 5.04 Servicer Obligations.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement with respect to obligations of the Servicer, the provisions of the Servicing Agreement shall govern such obligations.

Section 6.14 Events of Default; Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (a) of Section 14.01 of the Servicing Agreement) shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time as prescribed under the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may, and if so directed in writing by Certificateholders evidencing either (i) more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Class Notional Amount) of each Class of Certificates, or (ii) 50% of the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the Subordinate Certificates, shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of the preceding clause (ii), the Trustee shall provide written notice to all of the Certificateholders within two Business Days of receiving such direction and shall not terminate the Servicer if, within 30 days of sending such written notice, the Trustee has received contrary instructions from Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders.

If an Event of Default described in clause (a) of Section 14.01 of the Servicing Agreement shall occur, then the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Servicer, shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, unless any waiver described under Section 6.16 shall have been obtained.

When a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee shall promptly give written notice to the Servicer of a default under the Servicing Agreement if (a) the Servicer fails to pay any Monthly Advance owed on any Servicer Remittance Date when due, (b) the Servicer fails to remit payments owed on any Servicer Remittance Date or (c) the Servicer fails to deliver Mortgage Loan-level data when due.

Upon termination of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in connection with an Event of Default, the successor servicer shall not be required to purchase or reimburse the terminated Servicer’s advance receivables under the Servicing Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the terminated Servicer and a successor servicer have each made advances in respect of the same Mortgage Loan, recovered amounts shall be used to reimburse the terminated Servicer and a successor servicer in the order that such advances were made.

(b) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination from the Trustee or the Trustee receives the written resignation of the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee, unless another servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as such under the Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Servicer thereunder; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information required by the Servicing Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee thereunder and provided further, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions of the Servicer can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Trustee). In addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Servicer other than any act or omission performed by the Trustee if it assumes the obligations of the Servicer as a successor Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the Servicer set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.02 of the Servicing Agreement. In the Trustee’s capacity as successor servicer, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability granted to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, which is a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer and meeting such other standards for a successor servicer as are set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as the successor to such Servicer in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a servicer, like the Servicer. Any entity designated by the

Trustee as a successor servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein for a successor servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its duties under the Servicing Agreement.

The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted under the Servicing Agreement which are not inconsistent herewith or therewith. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or thereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Servicer to cooperate as required by the Servicing Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required by the Servicing Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer. No successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution thereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Trustee to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or records to it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee to cooperate as required by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

(d) In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor servicer, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree. The Trustee shall have the right to agree to compensation of a successor servicer in excess of that permitted to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement if such increase is necessary or advisable to engage a successor servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer to act as successor servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein. The Trustee may amend the Servicing Agreement to effect this change to the Servicing Fee without the consent of the Certificateholders.

(e) To the extent that the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any alleged or actual default by a Servicer, the termination of a Servicer, any appointment of a successor servicer and/or any transfer and assumption of servicing by the Trustee or any successor servicer with respect to the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with the investigation of any alleged or actual default by the Servicer, the evaluation of the potential termination and/or the actual termination of the Servicer and the appointment of a successor servicer and (ii) all Servicing Transfer Costs) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, then (a) the successor Servicer shall deduct such amounts from any amounts that it otherwise would have paid to the predecessor Servicer in reimbursement of outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances, and the successor Servicer shall reimburse itself and the Trustee for any unreimbursed costs and expenses, and (b) if the Trustee is not required to be reimbursed by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or if such costs and expenses are not satisfied pursuant to clause (a) within 90 days, then the Trustee and successor servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account, subject to the limitations described in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount.

In addition, any information about the Mortgage Loans acquired or obtained by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. in its capacity as Custodian under the Custodial Agreement shall not be attributable to the Trustee unless communication of that information to the Trustee is an express duty of such person under this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement.

Section 6.15 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.

During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

Section 6.16 Waiver of Defaults.

More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders may waive any default or Event of Default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, except that a default in the making of any Advances or Servicing Advances pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or any required deposit to the Distribution Account that would result in a failure of the Paying Agent to make any required payment of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

Section 6.17 Notification to Holders.

Upon termination of the Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the date when a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default, give written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and within such 45-day period.

Section 6.18 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During Event of Default.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or thereunder or in relation hereto or thereto and (ii) the terminating of the Servicer or any successor servicer from its rights and duties as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders.

Section 6.19 Preparation of Tax Returns and Other Reports.

(a) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared on behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance with Article IX hereof. If the Securities Administrator is notified in writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file such state income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law, and shall file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to the extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator’s possession).

(ii) As set forth on Exhibit L hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties set forth thereon shall be required to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable together with an additional disclosure notification in the form of Exhibit I hereto (an “Additional Disclosure Notification”) and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.

(iii) After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review.

Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Securities Administrator. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 6.20(a) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(iv) For clarification purposes, Citibank, N.A., as Securities Administrator, shall prepare and file the Form 10-D required to be filed for the monthly distribution period ending December 26, 2013 in accordance with this Section 6.20(a).

(ii) In the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator will promptly, but no later than within one Business Day, notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A or 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D.

Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a senior officer in charge of securitization of the Depositor. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 6.20(d) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. The Securities Administrator shall not have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities Administrator shall not file any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K as to which it has received from the Depositor a notice to the effect that, upon review of the proposed filing, the Depositor does not approve of such filing.

(a) If the Servicer, Depositor or Seller or any other party with obligations, responsibilities or duties related to this transaction (for the purposes of this section only, a “Deal Party”) ceases to exist, is judicially dissolved, files for bankruptcy (either voluntarily or involuntarily), becomes subject to the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship or receivership, or otherwise becomes subject to any other supervisory authority restricting its actions, or for any other reason is unable to operate its business in the normal course and to the satisfaction of its duties herein, any obligations or responsibilities of such Deal Party, including but not limited to the obligation to file tax returns, indemnify other Deal Parties or third-party beneficiaries, file UCC amendments or continuation statements, or handle proceeds or other aspects resulting from the termination of the Trust Fund, may be performed by the Trustee (with the exception of any indemnification or reimbursement obligations) at the direction of more than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders. If such holders fail to provide the Trustee with timely direction, the Trustee shall not be obligated to act.

(b) If a Deal Party has ceased to act or exist in a manner as specified in (a) above, has not yet been replaced, and is subsequently required to consent to any amendment of any Transaction Document or any action performed pursuant to any Transaction Document, such requirement shall be automatically waived with regards to that party. If a Deal Party has ceased to act or exist in a manner as specified in (a) above, has not yet been replaced, and is subsequently required to consent to any action taken under any Transaction Document, direct any action to be taken under any Transaction Document or provide notice under any Transaction Document for any reason, such requirement shall be performed by the Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of (a) above.

(c) If any Deal Party that has any obligations, responsibilities or duties to the Trust Fund under any agreement, including but not limited to repurchase obligations, shall voluntarily or involuntarily file for bankruptcy, the Trustee on behalf of the Holders shall protect the interest of the Trust Fund in relation to such bankruptcy proceeding in such manner as the Trustee deems appropriate, including but not limited to acting by and through the filing of proofs of claims and other appropriate actions, claims or responses, in such court as the Trustee shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.

(d) In the event of dissolution, bankruptcy or any other event that results in the inability of any Deal Party to perform its obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement, such entity shall provide the Trustee and/or Servicer with such limited powers of attorney as may be necessary to administer the Mortgage Loans and Trust Fund. Such entity shall also ensure that any and all records related to the origination and/or servicing of such Mortgage Loans are preserved and transferred to the Trustee or Custodian.

(e) Any costs, expenses or fees related to performing these functions (including but not limited to fees of counsel and internal costs associated with personnel not ordinarily engaged in the ordinary, ongoing duties of the Trustee) shall be reimbursed from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 6.12, subject to the limitations in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount. The Trustee may charge a reasonable and customary fee in connection with performing, as necessitated by this Section 6.25, any obligations, responsibilities or duties of another Deal Party under this Agreement, and such fee shall be paid from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 6.12, subject to the limitations in clause (B) of the definition of Available Distribution Amount. If the Trustee reasonably believes that its fees, expenses and costs relating to its actions under this Section 6.25 will exceed the amounts provided for in the definition of Available Distribution Amount, it shall refrain from taking any such actions unless it has received reasonable indemnity against such amounts from the party or parties requesting such actions.

ARTICLE VII

PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND

TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND

Section 7.01 Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the distribution of proceeds in connection with the exercise of the Clean-up Call pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement and (iii) the Distribution Date immediately following the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.

(b) In connection with an exercise of the Clean-up Call pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause each REMIC to adopt a plan of complete liquidation by complying with the provisions of Section 7.03.

(c) The Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the Clean-up Call Price for any Advances, Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees, Securities Administrator Fees or other amounts (such as unpaid expenses of the Trustee or Securities Administrator) with respect to the related Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to such parties under this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or the Custodial Agreement prior to distributions to any Certificateholder.

(d) On any date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance is less than five percent (5%) of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, Redwood Trust, Inc. or its successor may terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing all of the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan for the Clean-up Call Price. Redwood Trust, Inc., or its successor shall provide to the Trustee not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to exercise its purchase and termination right under this Section 7.01(d) and comply with the requirements of this Article VII to effect a “qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions. Redwood Trust, Inc. is an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and shall have the same power and ability to exercise and enforce the rights stated to be provided to it hereunder as if it were a signatory hereto. The Depositor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator hereby consent to such exercise.

Section 7.02 Procedure Upon Redemption and Termination of Trust Fund.

(a) If on any Determination Date the Securities Administrator determines that there are no outstanding Mortgage Loans, and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Distribution Account, the Securities Administrator shall so notify the Trustee and shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate Registrar’s Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. In the event the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar are not the same party, the Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate.

Upon termination of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall terminate the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Securities Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.

(b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the termination notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities Administrator and not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section.

(c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with any redemption or termination or liquidation of the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of the Trust Fund.

Section 7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.

(a) Any termination of the Trust Fund in connection with the Clean-Up Call or involving any other sale of assets of the Trust Fund prior to the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Securities Administrator and the Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party exercising any right of termination), addressed to the Securities Administrator and the Trustee to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event:

(i) Within 89 days prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, upon notification that a party intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, at the direction of the Securities Administrator, shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund on behalf of each REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions, in the form provided by the party exercising its termination right in connection with a Clean-up Call or by the Depositor in connection with any other termination of the Trust Fund;

(ii) Any sale of the Mortgage Loans upon the exercise of a Clean-up Call shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to the time of making of the final payment on or credit to the Certificates, and upon the closing of such a sale, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the Custodian to deliver the assets to the purchaser thereof as instructed by the Servicer;

(iii) On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC) shall terminate at that time; and

(iv) In no event may the final payment on or credit to the Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.

(b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the Trustee at the direction of the Securities Administrator under this Section and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Securities Administrator or the Servicer.

ARTICLE VIII

RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

Section 8.01 Limitation on Rights of Holders.

(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the Trustee or the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

(b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue of or by availing itself of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless, except as otherwise specified herein, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day period by such Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 8.02 Access to List of Holders.

(a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most recent Record Date.

(b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred to as “Applicants”) apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal business hours of the Certificate Registrar to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an alternative, send, at the Applicants’ expense, the written communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.

(c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that none of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein

sometimes referred to as an “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall promptly notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument to the others.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

ARTICLE IX

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

Section 9.01 REMIC Administration.

(a) REMIC elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement shall be made by the Trustee at the direction of the Securities Administrator on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement.

(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the meaning of section 86OG(a)(9) of the Code. The “latest possible maturity date” for purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.86OG-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

(c) The Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution Account, provided, however, the Securities Administrator shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required by Section 6.19 and this Section.

(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign, as instructed by the Securities Administrator, all of each REMIC’s federal and appropriate state tax and information returns as such REMIC’s direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator. In preparing such returns, the Securities Administrator shall, with respect to each REMIC created hereunder other than the Upper-Tier REMIC (each such REMIC, a “Non-Upper-Tier REMIC”): (i) treat the accrual period for interests in such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC as the calendar month; (ii) account for distributions made from such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC as made on the first day of each succeeding calendar month; (iii) use the aggregation method provided in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-2(c); and (iv) account for income and expenses related to such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC in the manner resulting in the lowest amount of excess inclusion income possible accruing to the Holder of the residual interest in such Non-Upper-Tier REMIC.

(e) The Securities Administrator or its designee shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Trustee such information as is necessary for the Trustee to provide to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.

(f) The Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Holders of Certificates shall, to the extent within their knowledge and control, take such actions as may be necessary to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly take any action, cause any REMIC to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or not to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action (or inaction, as the case may be) will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided, however, that if no Adverse REMIC Event would occur but such action could result in the imposition of additional taxes on the Residual Certificateholders, no such Person shall take any such action, or cause any REMIC to take any such action without the written consent of the Residual Certificateholders. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel (and conclusively rely upon the advice of such counsel) to make such written advice, and the cost of the same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator.

(g) Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.

(h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(k) The Holder (or, if there is more than one such Holder, the Holder with the largest Percentage Interest) of the Class LT-R Certificate is hereby designated as “tax matters person” with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Holder of the Class R Certificate (or, if there is more than one such Holder, the Holder with the largest Percentage Interest) is hereby designated as “tax matters person” with respect to the Upper-Tier REMIC and each such Holder shall be deemed by the acceptance of its Certificate to have appointed the Securities Administrator to act as its agent to perform the duties of the “tax matters person” for each such REMIC.

Section 9.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement or (iv) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) adversely affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

Section 9.03 Indemnification with Respect to Prohibited Transactions or Loss of REMIC Status.

Upon the occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify the Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing parties on which the Securities Administrator has relied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement or under the Acknowledgement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of malfeasance, willful misconduct or negligent performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
