It is the express intent of the parties hereto that (without addressing characterization for GAAP purposes) the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by RWT to Sequoia be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the assigning party, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by RWT to Sequoia of a security interest in all of the assets described in such conveyances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
     RWT and Sequoia shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. RWT shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned hereunder.
     Section 5. Termination.
     (a) Sequoia may terminate this Agreement, by notice to RWT, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date:
     (i) if the Underwriting Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement or if the Underwriter does not complete the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement as the result of the failure of any condition set forth therein or if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, any material adverse change in the financial

3


 

condition, earnings, business affairs or business prospects of RWT, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or
     (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Underwriter, impracticable to market the Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Certificates, or
     (iii) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.
     (b) This Agreement shall terminate automatically without any required notice or other action by any party hereto if the Closing Date for the issuance of the Certificates has not occurred by February 15, 2006.
     (c) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the completion of all sales contemplated hereby, the representations, warranties and agreements in Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect.
     Section 6. Miscellaneous.
     (a) Amendments, Etc. No rescission, modification, amendment, supplement or change of this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless in writing and signed by all of the parties to this Agreement. No amendment of this Agreement may modify or waive the representations, warranties and agreements set forth in Sections 1 and 2 hereof.
     (b) Binding Upon Successors, Etc. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by RWT and Sequoia, and the respective successors and assigns thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that Sequoia is acquiring the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of pledging, transferring, assigning, setting over and otherwise conveying them to the Trustee, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for inclusion in the Trust Fund. As an inducement to Sequoia to purchase the Mortgage Loans, RWT acknowledges and consents to the assignment to the Trustee by Sequoia of all of Sequoia’s rights against RWT hereunder in respect of the Mortgage Loans sold to Sequoia and that the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy against RWT hereunder by the Trustee or to the extent permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have the same force and effect as if enforced and exercised by Sequoia directly.
     (c) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     (d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
     (e) Headings. The headings of the several parts of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference and are not intended to be a part of or affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE A-1
MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF THE SELLER AS TO MORTGAGE LOANS DLJ MORTGAGE CAPITAL, INC.
RECEIVED FROM SELLER ON DECEMBER 15, 2005
I.   With respect to Mortgage Loans purchased under the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1, 1998 (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement”), as amended by the Amendment Number One to such agreement dated February 27, 2004 (the “Amendment Number One,” and together with the Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the “Purchase and Servicing Agreement”), between Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (“Countrywide”) and RWT Holdings.
     With respect to each Mortgage Loan, RWT Holdings hereby makes the following representations and warranties. Such representations and warranties speak as of the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), unless otherwise indicated. Capitalized terms are as defined in this Schedule A or in the Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
          (a) Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information contained in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects and the information provided to the rating agencies, including the loan level detail, is true and correct according to the rating agency requirements;
          (b) No Delinquencies or Advances. All payments required to be made prior to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made; RWT Holdings has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan; and there has been no delinquency of thirty (30) days or more in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder during the last twelve (12) months;
          (c) Taxes, Assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges. RWT Holdings has no knowledge of any delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
          (d) No Modifications. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments that have been or will be recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Purchaser, and that have been or will be delivered to Purchaser, all in accordance with the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Collateral File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule if executed prior to the Closing Date;
          (e) No Defenses. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or

 


 

defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
          (f) Hazard and Flood Insurance. All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable to an Agency against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, and such insurer is licensed to do business in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Countrywide, its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. If, upon the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was, or was subsequently deemed to be, in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood insurance policy that meets the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration (or any successor thereto) and conforms to the requirements of an Agency is in effect. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and, upon the failure of the Mortgagor to do so, the holder of the Mortgage is authorized to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
          (g) Compliance with Applicable Law. Each Mortgage Loan at the time of origination complied in all material respects with applicable state and federal laws including truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity and disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan;
          (h) No Release of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated, or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission;
          (i) Enforceability of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws;
          (j) Validity of Mortgage. The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property, subject only to (i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable; (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording that are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and that do not adversely affect the Appraised Value (as evidenced by an appraisal referred to in such definition) of the Mortgaged Property; and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject that do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property;
          (k) Binding Obligation. The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization;
          (l) Legal Capacity. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties;
          (m) Disbursements of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to

2


 

completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and recording the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
          (n) Sole Owner. RWT Holdings is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and RWT Holdings has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest not specifically set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and has full right and authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Servicing Agreement;
          (o) Interested Parties. All parties that have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (a) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgage Property is located, and (b)(i) organized under the laws of such state,
          (p) Title Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan secured by a first priority Mortgage is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy acceptable to an Agency, issued by a title insurer acceptable to an Agency and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in Section 3.02(j)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) Countrywide, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage, as applicable. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. Purchaser is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase and Servicing Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and RWT Holdings and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;
          (q) No Default. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and RWT Holdings has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;
          (r) No Mechanics’ Liens. There are no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
          (s) Improvements. All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgage Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
          (t) The Mortgage Loan was originated by Countrywide or by a FNMA approved or FHLMC approved mortgage banker (which mortgage banker is a mortgagee approved by HUD), or savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by another mortgagee approved by the Secretary of HUD.
          (u) Origination and Collection Practices. The origination and collection practices

3


 

used by Countrywide with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing business. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due Countrywide have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note. With respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, all Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state and local law has been properly paid and credited;
          (v) No Condemnation or Damage. The Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and waste by fire, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado, or other casualty and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;
          (w) Customary and Enforceable Provisions. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby including (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified RWT Holdings and RWT Holdings has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940 (now known as the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act);
          (x) Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in Section 3.02(i) of the Purchase and Servicing Agreement;
          (y) Appraisal. Unless the Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to one of Countrywide’s streamline documentation programs, the Credit File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application by an appraiser who meets the minimum requisite qualifications of an Agency for appraisers, duly appointed by the originator, that had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; the appraisal is in a form acceptable to an Agency, with such riders as are acceptable to such Agency;
          (z) Trustee for Deed of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
          (aa) Private Mortgage Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% is and will be subject to a PMI Policy, which provides coverage in an amount at least equal to that which would be required by FNMA. All provisions of such PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such PMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith or, in the case of a lender paid mortgage insurance policy, the premiums and charges are included in the Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan;
          (bb) Lawfully Occupied. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all

4


 

occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same including certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities;
          (cc) No Action Resulting in Exclusion of Coverage. No action has been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed on or prior to the Closing Date (whether or not known to RWT Holdings on or prior to such date) which has resulted or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any private mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of RWT Holdings, the related Mortgagor or any party involved in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such insurer’s breach of such insurance policy or such insurer’s financial inability to pay;
          (dd) Assignment of Mortgage. Except for the absence of recording information, the Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
          (ee) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
          (ff) Form of Mortgage Note and Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to an Agency;
          (gg) Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or an individual residential condominium unit, or a 2-4 family dwelling or an individual residential unit in a planned unit development as defined by FNMA, none of which is a mobile home or a manufactured dwelling;
          (hh) Relevant Circumstances. RWT Holdings has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor of the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
          (ii) No Fraud. No fraud, error, omission, misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan;
          (jj) Buydown Provisions. No Mortgage Loan contains a permanent “buydown” provision. No Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan contains a temporary “buydown” provision. With respect to any Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan which contains a temporary “buydown” provision, the value of such buydown funds does not exceed 6% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;

5


 

          (kk) Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified RWT Holdings and RWT Holdings has no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940 (now known as the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act);
          (ll) Disclosure Statements. With respect to an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor has executed one or more statements to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan.
