Ladies and Gentlemen:

Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Depositor”) and an indirect wholly-owned limited purpose subsidiary of Redwood Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Redwood Trust”), proposes to cause Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2007-3 (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust governed by New York law, to issue and sell to you (each, an “Underwriter”) its Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Class 1-A1, Class 1-A2, Class 1-AR, Class 1-XA, Class 1-XB, Class 2A-A1, Class 2A-A2, Class 2-AR, Class 2B-A1, Class 2B-A2, Class 2C-A1, Class 2C-A2, Class 1B-1, Class 1B-2, Class 1B-3, Class 2B-1, Class 2B-2 and Class 2B-3 Certificates (collectively, the “Publicly-Offered Certificates”) having the characteristics set forth in the Final Prospectus, evidencing beneficial ownership interests in the Issuing Entity, the assets of which will consist primarily of four pools: (1) one pool of adjustable rate, fully amortizing mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to- four family residential properties, (2) one pool of hybrid, fully amortizing mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties and bearing interest at a fixed rate for an initial 5-year period and at an adjustable rate thereafter, (3) one pool of hybrid, fully amortizing mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties and bearing interest at a fixed rate for an initial 7-year period and at an adjustable rate thereafter and (4) one pool of hybrid, fully amortizing mortgage loans secured by first liens on one-to-four family residential properties and bearing interest at a fixed rate for an initial 10-year period and at an adjustable rate thereafter (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”). Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Publicly-Offered Certificates, the Class 1B-4, Class 1B-5, Class 1B-6, Class 2B-4, Class 2B-5 and Class 2B-6, Class 1-LTR and Class 2-LTR Certificates (together with the Publicly-Offered Certificates, the “Certificates”) are being issued. The Mortgage Loans will have the characteristics described in the Final Prospectus, subject to the variances, ranges, minimums and maximums set forth in the Final Prospectus.

The Issuing Entity will be formed, and the Certificates will be issued, pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) dated as of July 1, 2007, by and among the Depositor, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A., in the capacities of master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”), and acknowledged by RWT Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Redwood Trust, as seller (the “Seller”). On or about July 27, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), the Seller will assign all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, dated as of July 1, 2007 (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement”), between the Seller, as seller, and the Depositor, as purchaser. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loans will, in turn, be assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, together with all principal and interest collections received with respect to the Mortgage Loans after July 1, 2007 (the “Cut-off Date”). The Trustee will concurrently with such assignment, authenticate and deliver the Certificates to the Depositor, and the Depositor will sell the Publicly-Offered Certificates to the Underwriters. In addition, pursuant to various assignment, assumption and recognition agreements (collectively, the “Assignment Agreements”), (i) the Seller will assign its rights under various underlying mortgage loan purchase and servicing agreements relating to the Mortgage Loans entered into by the Seller (collectively, the “Underlying Purchase and Servicing Agreements”), to the Depositor and (ii) the Depositor will, in turn, assign its rights under the Underlying Purchase and Servicing Agreements to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer will monitor the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the servicers pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Assignment Agreements and this Agreement are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents.” Capitalized terms shall have the respective meanings set forth in this Agreement (or by reference to Section 10 hereof) or, if not defined therein, as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

1. Representations and Warranties. The Seller, the Depositor and Redwood Trust, jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, each Underwriter that:

(i) A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-132123) relating to mortgage pass-through certificates has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such registration statement as of its effective date, and each amendment thereto and any document incorporated by reference therein and any prospectus included or deemed or retroactively deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 430B, as of the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The Registration Statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act. As of the Closing Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust, threatened by the Commission. The Depositor proposes to prepare and file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act a final prospectus dated July 26, 2006 (the “Base Prospectus”) to be supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated the date hereof relating to the Publicly-Offered Certificates in the form filed after the date of this Agreement pursuant to Section 424(b) that discloses the public offering price and other final terms of the Publicly-Offered Certificates (together with any revision, amendment or supplement, the “Prospectus Supplement”). The Prospectus Supplement, together with the Base Prospectus, including the documents incorporated therein as of the time of such filing is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Prospectus.” In connection with the offering of the Publicly-Offered Certificates, the Depositor has also prepared a preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 29, 2007, which constitutes a statutory prospectus to be retroactively included in the Registration Statement and has been or will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”). The Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus separately, are referred to herein as a “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Registration Statement or a Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or before the date on which the Registration Statement, as amended, became effective, or the issue date of the Preliminary Prospectus, or the date on which the Final Prospectus is filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement and each Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document incorporated by reference therein which is filed under the Exchange Act after the date on which the Registration Statement became effective, the issue date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the date on which a Final Prospectus is filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, as the case may be.

(ii) Each of (A) The Registration Statement, as of its effective date, (B) the Preliminary Prospectus, taken together with the static pool information set forth in or referred to under the caption “Static Pool Information” in the Preliminary Prospectus but deemed to be excluded from the Registration Statement and the Preliminary Prospectus pursuant to Item 1105(d) of Regulation AB (the “Designated Static Pool Information”), as of its issue date, and (C) the Final Prospectus, taken together with the Designated Static Pool Information set forth in or referred to under the caption “Static Pool Information” in such Final Prospectus, as of its issue date, as revised, amended or supplemented and filed with the Commission prior to the termination of the offering of the Publicly-Offered Certificates, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations (the “Regulations”) of the Commission thereunder applicable to such documents as of their respective dates, and the Registration Statement, the Designated Static Pool Information and the Final Prospectus as revised, amended or supplemented and filed with the Commission as of the Closing Date will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Regulations of the Commission applicable to such documents as of the Closing Date. None of (A) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective and as of the Closing Date, (B) the Preliminary Prospectus, taken together with the Designated Static Pool Information, as of its issue date, or (C) the Final Prospectus, taken together with the Designated Static Pool Information, as of its issue date, as of the date of any Contract of Sale, and as of the Closing Date, contained or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Seller, the Depositor and Redwood Trust make no representations, warranties or agreements as to the information contained in a Prospectus or any revision or amendment thereof or supplement thereto (in the case of the Final Prospectus) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Depositor by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for use in connection with the preparation of a Prospectus or any revision or amendment thereof or supplement thereto (in the case of the Final Prospectus), such information being defined as the “Underwriter Information” in Section 10 hereof.

If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters determine that such information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and terminate their old Contracts of Sale and enter into new Contracts of Sale with investors in the Publicly-Offered Certificates, then the Preliminary Prospectus and the Designated Static Pool Information will refer to the information agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Underwriters and conveyed to purchasers at the time of entry into the first such new Contract of Sale, including any information that corrects such material misstatements or omissions (“Corrective Information”) and the date of each affected Contract of Sale will refer to the time and date agreed upon by the Depositor and the Underwriters.

(iii) The conditions to the use by the Depositor of a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as set forth in the General Instructions to Form S-3, have been satisfied with respect to the Registration Statement. There are no contracts or documents of the Depositor which are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act or the Regulations of the Commission thereunder which have not been so filed.

(v) As of the date hereof, as of the date of any Contract of Sale (if dated prior to the date hereof) and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Publicly-Offered Certificates, the Preliminary Prospectus issued at or prior to the date hereof, any Issuer Information or the Seller Mortgage Loan Information (each as defined below) contained in a Free Writing Prospectus did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(vi) The Publicly-Offered Certificates conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Final Prospectus. The issuance of the Publicly-Offered Certificates has been authorized, and on the Closing Date the Publicly-Offered Certificates will have been duly and validly executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and delivered to the Underwriters for the account of the Underwriters against payment therefor as provided herein, and such Certificates will be duly and validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits afforded by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Each Publicly-Offered Certificate of the Class (or if applicable, Classes) or type indicated to be “mortgage related securities” under the heading “Summary of Terms — Legal Investment” in the Prospectus Supplement will, when issued, be a “mortgage related security” as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(41) of the Exchange Act.

(vii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Seller, the Depositor and Redwood Trust, and as of the Closing Date, each of the other Transaction Documents to which the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust is a party will have been, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust, as applicable, and will conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Final Prospectus and, assuming the valid execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, each Transaction Document to which Redwood Trust, the Seller or the Depositor is a party will constitute a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(viii) Each of the Seller, the Depositor and Redwood Trust has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of its respective State of incorporation, and each of the Seller, the Depositor and Redwood Trust is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its respective properties or the nature of its respective activities makes such qualification necessary, except such jurisdictions, if any, in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, regulatory affairs, business affairs, business prospects or properties of Redwood Trust, the Seller or the Depositor; each of Redwood Trust, the Seller and the Depositor holds all material licenses, certificates and permits from all governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of its respective business as described in the Final Prospectus; and each of the Seller, the Depositor and Redwood Trust has the corporate power and authority to own its respective properties and conduct its respective business as described in the Final Prospectus and to enter into and perform its respective obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party.

(ix) Neither the issuance, delivery or sale of the Publicly-Offered Certificates, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated herein, nor the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust, as applicable, and compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, does or will conflict with or result in the breach of any material term or provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, the Depositor, or Redwood Trust, and none of the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust is in breach or violation of or in default (nor has an event occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under the terms of (i) any indenture, contract, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, note, agreement or other evidence of indebtedness or other agreement, obligation or instrument to which the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust is a party or by which it or its respective properties are bound, or (ii) any law, decree, order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust of any court or supervisory, regulatory, administrative or governmental agency, body or authority, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust, or its respective properties, the default, breach or violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the Depositor, Redwood Trust, the Issuing Entity or the Certificates or on the ability of the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust to perform its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and none of the delivery of the Certificates, the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated herein, or the compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents will result in such a default, breach or violation or which would have such a material adverse effect.

(x) No filing or registration with, notice to, or consent, approval, authorization or order or other action of any court or governmental authority or agency is required for the consummation by the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (other than as required under “blue sky” or state securities laws, as to which no representations and warranties are made by the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust), except such as have been, or will have been prior to the Closing Date, obtained under the Securities Act, and such recordations of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee (to the extent such recordations are required pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) that have not yet been completed.

(xi) There is no action, order, suit or proceeding before or by any court, administrative or governmental agency now pending to which the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust is a party, or to the best knowledge of each of the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust, threatened against the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust, which could reasonably result individually or in the aggregate in any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, regulatory affairs, business affairs, business prospects or properties of the Seller, the Depositor or Redwood Trust or could reasonably interfere with or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(xv) The Mortgage Loans conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Final Prospectus.

(xvi) Neither the Depositor nor the Issuing Entity is, and neither the issuance and sale of the Certificates nor the activities of the Issuing Entity pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will cause the Depositor or the Issuing Entity to be, an “investment company” or under the interest of an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

12. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 11 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 11, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 11 above in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor, the Seller and Redwood Trust on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Publicly-Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Depositor, the Seller and Redwood Trust on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or alleged omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor, the Seller and Redwood Trust on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for an amount equal to the Spread, and the Depositor, the Seller and Redwood Trust are responsible for the balance. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omissions or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor, the Seller or Redwood Trust or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 12 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this Section 12. An Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of (x) the Spread of such Underwriter, over (y) the amount of any damages which the applicable Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The obligation of any Underwriter to contribute under this Section 12 is several in proportion to the portion of the Spread applicable to it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law), and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

15. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Publicly-Offered Certificates pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Publicly-Offered Certificates and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Depositor, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Depositor is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Depositor or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Depositor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Depositor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Depositor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Depositor and that the several Underwriters have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Depositor has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Depositor and the several Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Depositor hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Depositor may have against the several Underwriters with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

16. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Depositor with respect to the offering of Publicly-Offered Certificates contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Depositor or any other person. In addition, neither the Representative nor any other Underwriter is advising the Depositor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Depositor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Depositor with respect thereto. Any review by the Underwriters of the Depositor, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
