Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

On December 23, 2009, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the
"FHLB-Seattle") filed a claim in Superior Court for the State of Washington
(case number 09-2-46348-4 SEA) against Redwood Trust, Inc., the depositor,
Morgan Stanley & Co., and Morgan Stanley Capital I, Inc. (collectively, the
"FHLB-Seattle Defendants"). The FHLB-Seattle alleges claims under the
Securities Act of Washington (Section 21.20.005, et seq.) and seeks to
rescind the purchase of a mortgage pass-through certificate (or, residential
mortgage backed securities, "RMBS") issued through the Sequoia RMBS platform
as part of the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2005-4 securitization transaction and
purchased by the FHLB-Seattle. The FHLB-Seattle also seeks to collect
interest on the original purchase price at the statutory interest rate of 8%
per annum from the date of original purchase (net of interest received), as
well as attorneys' fees and costs. On June 10, 2010, the FHLB-Seattle filed
an amended complaint. Subsequently, on October 18, 2010, the FHLB-Seattle
Defendants filed motions to dismiss the FHLB-Seattle's complaint. Redwood
Trust, Inc. and the depositor additionally moved to dismiss the complaint for
lack of personal jurisdiction. The FHLB-Seattle alleges that the FHLB-Seattle
Defendants' offering materials for this RMBS contained materially untrue
statements and omitted material facts about this RMBS and the loans
securitized in this transaction. Among other things, the FHLB-Seattle alleges
that the FHLB-Seattle Defendants made untrue statements or omissions
regarding the (1) loan-to-value ratios of these mortgage loans and the
appraisals of the properties that secured these mortgage loans, (2) occupancy
status of those properties, (3) underwriting standards of the originators of
these mortgage loans, and (4) ratings assigned to this RMBS. In a series of
rulings issued between June 23, 2011 and August 15, 2011, the Washington
State Superior Court dismissed the allegations relating to occupancy status
and denied other grounds for dismissal. On July 19, 2011, the Court granted
Redwood Trust, Inc. and the depositor's motion to dismiss for lack of
personal jurisdiction. Redwood Trust, Inc. and the depositor do not know
whether the FHLB-Seattle will appeal or otherwise contest the dismissal, or
file a claim in another jurisdiction. Redwood Trust, Inc. and the depositor
believe that this claim is without merit and intend to defend any action
related to it vigorously. In connection with the issuance of the Sequoia RMBS
that is the subject of the FHLB-Seattle's claim, Redwood Trust, Inc., the
sponsor, and the depositor agreed to indemnify the underwriters of this RMBS
for certain losses and expenses they might incur as a result of claims made
against them relating to this RMBS, including, without limitation, certain
legal expenses. The FHLB-Seattle's claims against the underwriters of this
RMBS were not dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction. Regardless of the
outcome of this litigation, Redwood Trust, Inc., the sponsor, and the
depositor could incur a loss as a result of these indemnities.

On August 18, 2010, the depositor received service of process with respect to
a claim filed on July 15, 2010 in Superior Court for the State of California
in San Francisco (case number CGC-10-501610) by The Charles Schwab
Corporation ("Schwab"). In the complaint, Schwab is suing the depositor and
26 other named Defendants (collectively, the "Schwab Defendants") in relation
to RMBS sold or issued by the Schwab Defendants. With respect to the
depositor, Schwab alleges a cause of action of negligent misrepresentation
under California state law and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys' fees
and costs with respect to a RMBS issued through the Sequoia RMBS platform as
part of the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2005-4 securitization transaction (which
is the same transaction at issue in the litigation initiated by the
FHLB-Seattle described in the preceding paragraph). Among other things,
Schwab alleges that the offering materials for this Sequoia RMBS contained
materially untrue statements or omissions regarding this RMBS and the loans
securitized in this securitization transaction, including untrue statements
or omissions regarding the (1) loan-to-value ratios of these mortgage loans
and the appraisals of the properties that secured these mortgage loans, (2)
occupancy status of those properties, (3) underwriting standards of the
originators of these mortgage loans, and (4) ratings assigned to this RMBS.
On September 22, 2011, the Schwab Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint,
and on January 27, 2011, the California State Superior Court denied the
motion on several grounds, and with respect to certain other grounds gave
Schwab the opportunity to amend the complaint. Schwab must file the amended
complaint on or before February 17, 2012. The depositor believes that this
case is without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. In
connection with the issuance of the Sequoia RMBS that is the subject of
Schwab's claim, Redwood Trust, Inc., the sponsor, and the depositor agreed to
indemnify the underwriters of this RMBS for certain losses and expenses they
might incur as a result of claims made against them relating to this RMBS,
including, without limitation, certain legal expenses. Regardless of the
outcome of this litigation, Redwood Trust, Inc., the sponsor, and the
depositor could incur a loss as a result of these indemnities

On July 12, 2010, two notices of "Election to Void Sale of Securities"
pursuant to Illinois Securities Law (815 ILCS Section 5/13(A)) were received
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB-Chicago"). In the notices,
the FHLB-Chicago sought to void its purchase of two RMBS that were issued in
2006 by a securitization trust with respect to which the depositor was the
depositor. Subsequently, on October 15, 2010, the FHLB-Chicago filed a claim
in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois (case number 10-CH-45033)
against the depositor and more than 45 other named defendants (collectively,
the "FHLB-Chicago Defendants") in relation to RMBS sold or issued by the
FHLB-Chicago Defendants or by entities controlled by the FHLB-Chicago
Defendants. In an amended complaint filed on March 16, 2011, FHLB-Chicago
added as defendants Redwood Trust, Inc. and the sponsor. With respect to
Redwood Trust, Inc. and the depositor, the FHLB-Chicago alleges that the
offering materials for two RMBS issued through the Sequoia RMBS platform as
part of the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2006-1 securitization transaction
contained untrue and misleading statements and material representations in
violation of Illinois Securities Law (815 ILCS Sections 5/12(F)-(H)) and
North Carolina Securities Law (N.C.G.S.A. ?78A-8(2) & ?78A-56(a)) and also
alleges a claim of negligent misrepresentations under Illinois common law. On
some of the causes of action, the FHLB-Chicago seeks to rescind the purchase
of these RMBS and to collect interest on the original purchase price at the
statutory interest rate of 10% per annum from the date of original purchase
(net of interest received). On one cause of action, the FHLB-Chicago seeks
unspecified damages. The FHLB-Chicago also seeks attorneys' fees and costs.
Among other things, the FHLB-Chicago alleges that the offering materials for
this RMBS contained materially untrue statements or omissions regarding this
RMBS and the loans securitized in this transaction, including untrue
statements or omissions regarding the (1) loan-to-value ratios of these
mortgage loans and the appraisals of the properties that secured these
mortgage loans, (2) occupancy status of those properties, (3) underwriting
standards of the originators of these mortgage loans, (4) ratings assigned to
these RMBS, and (5) due diligence performed on these mortgage loans. On March
27, 2011, the FHLB-Chicago Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint,
which motions are now pending. Redwood Trust, Inc. and the depositor believe
that this case is without merit, and intend to defend the action vigorously.
In connection with the issuance of the Sequoia RMBS that is the subject of
the FHLB-Chicago's claim, Redwood Trust, Inc., the sponsor, and the depositor
agreed to indemnify the underwriters of these RMBS for certain losses and
expenses they might incur as a result of claims made against them relating to
these RMBS, including, without limitation, certain legal expenses. Regardless
of the outcome of this litigation, Redwood Trust, Inc., the sponsor, and the
depositor could incur a loss as a result of these indemnities.

The business of the sponsor, the depositor, the seller and their affiliates
has included, and continues to include, activities relating to the
acquisition and securitization of residential mortgage loans. In addition,
the business of the sponsor has, in the past, included activities relating to
the acquisition and securitization of debt obligations and other assets
through the issuance of collateralized debt obligations (commonly referred to
as CDO transactions). Because of their involvement in the securitization and
CDO businesses, the sponsor, the depositor, the seller and their affiliates
could become the subject of litigation relating to these businesses,
including additional litigation of the type described above, and could also
become the subject of governmental investigations, enforcement actions, or
lawsuits and governmental authorities could allege that these entities
violated applicable law or regulation in the conduct of their business.

In fact, the sponsor and its affiliates have received, and responded to,
information requests and subpoenas from two governmental authorities (one by
the SEC relating to the sponsor?s CDO business and one by the National Credit
Union Administration relating to a residential mortgage securitization
conducted by the sponsor and the depositor). It is possible that the sponsor,
the depositor, the seller or their affiliates might not be successful in
defending or responding to any litigation, governmental investigation or
related action and any losses incurred as a result of the resolution of any
such action or investigation could have a material adverse effect on the
sponsor, the depositor, the seller or their affiliates. In any case,
regardless of the merits of any allegation or legal action that may be
brought against the sponsor, the depositor, the seller or their affiliates,
or of their success in defending against such allegations or legal actions,
the costs of defending against any such allegation or legal action may be
significant or material and could have a material adverse effect on the
sponsor, the depositor, the seller or their affiliates.

The following is a governmental investigation of a servicer and originator.

A subsidiary of PHH Corporation, namely PHH Mortgage Corporation, originated
mortgage loans and services mortgage loans held by the Sequoia Mortgage Trust
that is the issuing entity. In January 2012, PHH Corporation reported that
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") notified PHH
Corporation that the CFPB had opened an investigation to determine whether
mortgage insurance premium ceding practices to its captive reinsurers comply
with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and other laws enforced by the
CFPB and requested certain related documents and information for review. In
January 2012, PHH Corporation also reported that (i) PHH Corporation has
provided reinsurance services in exchange for the premiums ceded, and
believes that it has complied with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
and other laws, (ii) it has not provided reinsurance on loans originated
after 2009, and (iii) there can be no assurance whether or not this
investigation will result in the imposition of any penalties and fines
against PHH Corporation or its subsidiaries.



Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions.

The seller and sponsor and the depositor are both wholly-owned subsidiaries
of Redwood Trust, Inc. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., an underwriter, is an
affiliate of CitiMortgage, Inc., the originator and servicer of the mortgage
loans.

There is not currently, and there was not during the past two years, any
material business relationship, agreement, arrangement, transaction or
understanding that is or was entered into outside the ordinary course of
business or is or was on terms other than would be obtained in an arm's
length transaction with an unrelated third party, between (a) any of the
seller, the sponsor, the depositor and the issuing entity on the one hand and
(b) any of the servicer, the custodian, the trustee or the originator of the
mortgage loans on the other hand.

                        determined certain foreclosure proceedings were
                        not concluded in accordance with the published Fannie
                        Mae foreclosure timelines, although the Asserting Party
                        maintains documentation that delays beyond the
                        published Fannie Mae foreclosure timelines were for
                        reasons and circumstances outside the control of the
                        Asserting Party as allowed by Fannie Mae Servicing
                        Guide Announcement SVC-2010-12.

The following material instance of non-compliance has been disclosed by Wells
Fargo, National Association:

Material Instances of Noncompliance by the Company

Management's assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria
set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item
1122 of Regulation AB as of December 31, 2011 and for the Period, disclosed
that material noncompliance occurred with servicing criteria 1122(d)(3)(i)(B)
and 1122(d)(3)(ii), as fol1ows:

* With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(3)(i)(B), certain reports to
  investors did not provide information calculated in accordance with the terms
  specified in the transaction agreements.

* With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(3)(ii), certain amounts due to
  investors were not allocated and remitted in accordance with timeframes,
  distribution priority and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements.

Management's Discussion on Material Instances of Noncompliance by the Company

Disclosure: During the Period, (i) certain amounts allocated and remitted to
investors were not calculated in accordance with the terms specified in the
transaction agreements, and (ii) certain reports to investors did not provide
information calculated in accordance with the terms specified in the
transaction agreements with respect to waterfall calculations and/or
reporting disclosures. As part of its assessment of compliance with the
Applicable Servicing Criteria, Management identified that in certain
instances the material noncompliance reported in Schedule A hereto was
attributable to errors in the models impacting payments to investors and
reporting disclosures, including those for a subset of RMBS transactions in
the Platform that contain multi-group features, herein referred to as
"Subject Transactions". As Management has determined the modeling errors for
Subject Transactions to be the most significant issue resulting in material
instances of noncompliance, Management's analysis of this issue's impact on
the Platform for the Period is described below in the "Scope".

Scope: Management reviewed all of the distributions to investors during the
Period for the Subject Transactions and all of the models used to prepare
reports to investors for the Subject Transactions and determined that (i) the
total dollar amount of payment errors in excess of $5,000 for any particular
distribution during the Period when aggregating the payment errors for each
affected CUSIP, herein referred to as "Disclosed Errors", for the Subject
Transactions represented approximately one one-thousandth of one percent
(.001%) of the total dollar amount allocated and remitted to investors in all
transactions across the Platform during the Period, (ii) the tranches with
payment errors above $200 for the Subject Transactions with Disclosed Errors
comprised less than one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of the number of tranches
in the Platform as of December 31, 2011, (iii) there were 17 Subject
Transactions with Disclosed Errors comprising less than one percent (1%) of
the total number of transactions in the Platform as of December 31, 2011, and
(iv) 340 of the Subject Transactions, including those transactions with
Disclosed Errors, required model revisions.

Remediation: For each of the instances of material noncompliance identified
by Management, including Subject Transactions, adjustments have been made to
the waterfall models, as applicable so that the models, in all material
respects, are expected to prepare the investor reports in accordance with the
terms specified in the transaction agreements. Revisions also have been made
so that the investor reports associated with the instances of material
noncompliance are expected to provide information that is, in all material
respects, calculated in accordance with the terms specified in the
transaction agreements.
