Ladies and Gentlemen:
By this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”), we are pleased to confirm the terms and conditions under which (i) Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (together with our subsidiaries and affiliates, “CS”) will act as sole lead underwriter for RWT Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Redwood Trust, Inc. (“Redwood Trust,” and together with the Company and their subsidiaries and affiliates, “Redwood”) in connection with the proposed offering and sale (together, the “Offering”) of certain classes of mortgage-backed securities (the “2013-3 Securities”) issued by Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2013-3 (the “Issuing Entity” and such issuance, the “Transaction”). The Issuing Entity is expected to issue (i) one or more classes of senior certificates entitled to payments of both interest and principal that will be rated AAA or its equivalent by at least two of Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business (each, a “Rating Agency” and such 2013-3 Securities, “AAA P&I Senior Securities”), (ii) one or more classes of senior certificates entitled to interest-only payments that will be rated AAA or its equivalent by two of the Rating Agencies (“AAA IO Senior Securities”), (iii) one or more classes of subordinate certificates (the “Subordinate Securities”) and (iv) one or more classes of REMIC residual certificates (the “Residual Securities”).
1. The 2013-3 Securities are expected to be secured by a single pool of mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”). A loan tape, (the “Redwood Initial Tape”) containing information regarding the Mortgage Loans was furnished by Redwood to CS on January 24, 2013.
Redwood may substitute Mortgage Loans included on the Redwood Initial Tape so long as there are no material differences between the attributes of the Mortgage Loans after substitution and the attributes of the Redwood Initial Tape that would materially change the AAA P&I Senior Securities credit enhancement level specified in Section 3.
At its sole expense, CS shall conduct a customary underwriter’s due diligence review of all of the Mortgage Loans and shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to have certain loans removed from the final pool of Mortgage Loans based on its due diligence results.

2. Structure of the Transaction; Documentation. The Transaction shall be structured in a manner similar in all material respects to previous securitization transactions of fixed rate pools executed by Redwood under the “Sequoia Mortgage Trust” program (the “SEMT Program”) including, but not limited to, the same “shifting interest” provisions and mechanics in the securitization transaction in the SEMT Program that closed in January 2013 (“SEMT 2013-2”) with respect to the fixed rate pool included therein. In connection therewith, Redwood (in such capacity, the “Seller”) shall transfer the Mortgage Loans to either Sequoia Mortgage Funding Corporation or Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc., which shall act as depositor (the “Depositor”) for the Transaction. The transaction documents governing (i) the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor, (ii) the sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Issuing Entity or the trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Issuing Entity and the issuance and terms of the 2013-3 Securities, (iii) the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans by each servicer (each, a Servicer”) and supervision thereof by the master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), (iv) the custody of the Mortgage Loan files by the custodian (the “Custodian”) and (v) the assignment of representations and warranties (together, the “Basic Transaction Documents”), shall be similar in all material respects to the transaction documents executed in connection with the SEMT 2013-2 transaction.
3. Ratings. It is a condition to the consummation of the Transaction that at least two Rating Agencies selected by Redwood (the “Initial Rating Agencies”) issue a AAA or equivalent rating in respect of the AAA P&I Senior Securities. The fees of the Initial Rating Agencies shall be paid in accordance with Section 8 hereof. Notwithstanding any Rating Agency feedback in respect of an AAA or equivalent rating, the Initial Credit Enhancement for the AAA P&I Senior Securities shall be specified on Annex A.
4. Underwriting Arrangement. CS shall act as sole lead underwriter (the “Underwriter”) for the Offering of each class of AAA P&I Senior Securities. CS will have the option, in its sole discretion, to strip off of the AAA P&I Senior Securities an interest only certificate, which will have the same interest priority as the AAA P&I Senior Securities and which may be rated AAA or its equivalent by two Rating Agencies (the “Underwritten AAA IO Senior Securities,” and together with the AAA P&I Senior Securities, the “Underwritten Senior Securities”); provided, that the aggregate interest on the Underwritten Senior Securities does not exceed the Underwritten Senior Securities Interest Rate specified in Annex A. Promptly after execution of this Letter Agreement, CS and Redwood shall cooperate and work in good faith to negotiate an underwriting agreement (when executed and delivered by the parties, the “Underwriting Agreement”) in respect of the Underwritten Senior Securities similar in all material respects to the underwriting agreement executed in connection with the SEMT 2012-1 transaction. Subject to Section 9 hereof in respect of an adjustment to the AAA Purchase Price Percentage for certain delays in the closing of the Transaction, it is expected that CS shall purchase Underwritten Senior Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Underwritten Senior Securities Balance specified on Annex A, subject to the Underwritten Senior Securities Balance Permitted Variance specified on Annex A, for a purchase price equal to the product of (i) the AAA Purchase Price Percentage specified on Annex A and (ii) the Underwritten Senior Securities Balance as of the date of the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”); provided, that at Redwood’s sole option, a variance of greater than the positive Underwritten Senior Securities Balance Permitted Variance in the principal amount of the AAA P&I Senior Securities shall be permitted solely to the extent that Redwood purchases the AAA P&I Senior Securities in excess of such variance. The Underwritten Senior Securities Interest Rate on the AAA P&I Senior Securities (without taking into account any Underwritten AAA IO Senior Securities) shall be specified on Annex A. CS shall be entitled to receive the additional fees or discounts from Redwood in respect of the Underwritten Senior Securities as described under “Additional Fees or Discounts” specified on Annex A.

6. Underwriting Fee for Subordinate Securities. In the event that Redwood and CS agree that Redwood will offer any of the Subordinate Securities under the Underwriting Agreement (such Subordinate Securities, the “Underwritten Subordinate Securities,” and together with the Underwritten Senior Securities, the “Underwritten Securities”), CS shall receive an underwriting fee calculated as the product of (i) the Subordinate Securities Underwriting Fee Percentage specified on Annex A and (ii) the unpaid principal balance of Underwritten Subordinate Securities as of the Closing Date (the “Subordinate Securities Underwriting Fee”).

The Offering Documents shall contain disclosures regarding, but not limited to, (i) the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the terms of the 2013-3 Securities and yield considerations with respect thereto, (iii) the Seller, the Depositor, Redwood Trust, the Company, the Trustee, the Issuing Entity, the Servicers, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Underwriter, and any material legal proceedings with respect to each such entity and the compensation arrangements (if any) for each such entity, (iv) the tax status, ERISA eligibility and legal investment considerations in respect of the 2013-3 Securities, (v) the material provisions of the Basic Transaction Documents and (vi) the pre-offering review of the Mortgage Loans, in each case similar in nature to the disclosures included in the offering materials for the SEMT 2013-2 transaction. The Offering Documents shall be subject to the approval of CS in its commercially reasonable discretion. In connection with the Offering and as described in greater particularity in the Underwriting Agreement, CS shall (a) prepare the term sheet and (b) generate all collateral and yield tables, in each case based on information provided to CS by Redwood. In addition, CS shall obtain comfort letters from the hired accounting firm in respect of the documents and/or information specified in (a) and (b), which shall be addressed to both CS and Redwood.

To the extent that the Transaction does not close on the Targeted Closing Date but closes on or before the Latest Permitted Closing Date and the failure to close on the Targeted Closing Date is the result of a delay of or caused by Redwood or Rating Agencies in connection with any Offering Document or the Underwriting Agreement, the AAA Purchase Price Percentage shall be reduced by the Delay Penalty Percentage specified on Annex A.
