Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

On or about December 23, 2009, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the “FHLB-Seattle”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court for the State of Washington (case number 09-2-46348-4 SEA) against Redwood Trust, Inc., our subsidiary, Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc. (“SRF”), Morgan Stanley & Co., and Morgan Stanley Capital I, Inc. (collectively, the “FHLB-Seattle Defendants”) alleging that the FHLB-Seattle Defendants made false or misleading statements in offering materials for a mortgage pass-through certificate (the “Seattle Certificate”) issued in the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2005-4 securitization transaction (the “2005-4 RMBS”) and purchased by the FHLB-Seattle. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the alleged misstatements concern the (1) loan-to-value ratio of mortgage loans and the appraisals of the properties that secured loans supporting the 2005-4 RMBS, (2) occupancy status of the properties, (3) standards used to underwrite the loans, and (4) ratings assigned to the Seattle Certificate. The FHLB-Seattle alleges claims under the Securities Act of Washington (Section 21.20.005, et seq.) and seeks to rescind the purchase of the Seattle Certificate and 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. The Seattle Certificate was issued with an original principal amount of approximately $133 million, and, as of December 31, 2013, the FHLB-Seattle has received approximately $114.4 million of principal and $11.0 million of interest payments in respect of the Seattle Certificate. As of December 31, 2013, the Seattle Certificate had a remaining outstanding principal amount of approximately $19.0 million. The claims were subsequently dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction as to Redwood Trust and SRF. Redwood agreed to indemnify the underwriters of the 2005-4 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 and remain pending. Regardless of the outcome of this litigation, Redwood could incur a loss as a result of these indemnities.

On or about July 15, 2010, The Charles Schwab Corporation (“Schwab”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court for the State of California in San Francisco (case number CGC-10-501610) against SRF and 26 other defendants (collectively, the “Schwab Defendants”) alleging that the Schwab Defendants made false or misleading statements in offering materials for various residential mortgage-backed securities sold or issued by the Schwab Defendants. With respect to SRF, Schwab alleges that SRF made false or misleading statements in offering materials for a mortgage pass-through certificate (the “Schwab Certificate”) issued in the 2005-4 RMBS and purchased by Schwab. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the misstatements for the 2005-4 RMBS concern the (1) loan-to-value ratio of mortgage loans and the appraisals of the properties that secured loans supporting the 2005-4 RMBS, (2) occupancy status of the properties, (3) standards used to underwrite the loans, and (4) ratings assigned to the Schwab Certificate. Schwab alleges a claim for negligent misrepresentation under California state law and seeks unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Schwab Certificate was issued with an original principal amount of approximately $14.8 million, and, as of December 31, 2013, Schwab has received approximately $12.7 million of principal and $1.3 million of interest payments in respect of the Schwab Certificate. As of December 31, 2013, the Schwab Certificate had a remaining outstanding principal amount of approximately $2.1 million. SRF has denied Schwab’s allegations. We intend to defend the action vigorously. Redwood agreed to indemnify the underwriters of the 2005-4 RMBS, which underwriters are also named defendants in this action, 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 could incur a loss as a result of these indemnities.

On or about October 15, 2010, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLB-Chicago”) filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois (case number 10-CH-45033) against SRF and more than 45 other named defendants (collectively, the “FHLB-Chicago Defendants”) alleging that the FHLB-Chicago Defendants made false or misleading statements in offering materials for various RMBS sold or issued by the FHLB-Chicago Defendants or entities controlled by them. FHLB-Chicago subsequently amended the complaint to name Redwood Trust, Inc. and another one of our subsidiaries, RWT Holdings, Inc., as defendants. With respect to Redwood Trust, Inc., RWT Holdings, Inc., and SRF, the FHLB-Chicago alleges that SRF, Redwood Trust, Inc., and RWT Holdings, Inc. made false or misleading statements in the offering materials for two mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Chicago Certificates”) issued in the Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2006-1 securitization transaction (the “2006-1 RMBS”) and purchased by the FHLB-Chicago. The complaint alleges that the alleged misstatements concern, among other things, the (1) loan-to-value ratio of mortgage loans and the appraisals of the properties that secured loans supporting the 2006-1 RMBS, (2) occupancy status of the properties, (3) standards used to underwrite the loans, (4) ratings assigned to the Chicago Certificates, and (5) due diligence performed on these mortgage loans. The FHLB-Chicago alleges claims under 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)) as well as a claim for negligent misrepresentation under Illinois common law. On some of the causes of action, the FHLB-Chicago seeks to rescind the purchase of the Chicago Certificates and to collect interest on the original purchase prices at the statutory interest rate of 10% per annum from the dates 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. The first of the Chicago Certificates was issued with an original principal amount of approximately $105 million and, as of December 31, 2013, the FHLB Chicago has received approximately $72.3 million of principal and $24.2 million of interest payments in respect of this Chicago Certificate. As of December 31, 2013, this Chicago Certificate had a remaining outstanding principal amount of approximately $32.0 million (after taking into account approximately $1.0 million of principal losses allocated to this Chicago Certificate). The second of the Chicago Certificates was issued with an original principal amount of approximately $379 million and, as of December 31, 2013, the FHLB Chicago has received approximately $258.6 million of principal and $81.5 million of interest payments in respect of this Chicago Certificate. As of December 31, 2013, this Chicago Certificate had a remaining outstanding principal amount of approximately $113.7 million (after taking into account approximately $6.3 million of principal losses allocated to this Chicago Certificate). SRF, Redwood Trust, Inc., and RWT Holdings, Inc. have denied FHLB-Chicago’s allegations. This case is in early stages of discovery, and no trial date has been set. We intend to defend the action vigorously. Redwood agreed to indemnify the underwriters of the 2006-1 RMBS, which underwriters are also named defendants in this action, 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 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.

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

The seller and servicing administrator, the sponsor and the depositor are each either directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. 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 trustee, any servicer, the custodian, the master servicer or either originator of the mortgage loans on the other hand.

Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

The reports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessments of compliance are attached hereto under Item 15.

The registrant has prepared the Table below in connection with this transaction. The Table shows, in one compiled format, which entity participating in a servicing function for this transaction was assigned responsibility for each criterion in Item 1122(d). In the Table below, certain criteria are not applicable, given the structure of the offering, and accordingly no entity is assigned responsibility for such criteria.

Also, Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society FSB (“Christiana”), the trustee, does not participate in any servicing function for the transaction that is the subject of this 10-K/A filing. Therefore, there is no reference to Christiana in the chart below; nor does this 10-K/A filing include any assessment or auditor report from Christiana. Finally, any discrepancies between the chart below and the assessment of compliance exhibit provided by any party listed in the chart is explained by the fact that the chart is specific to the transaction that is the subject of this 10-K/A filing, whereas each party’s respective assessment of compliance is issued on a platform basis and includes coverage of other additional transactions that are not the subject of this 10-K/A filing.

• “Model Program Error” means inaccurate or incomplete programming or logic in a Model Program that does not produce calculations in accordance with the transaction agreements and therefore causes a payment error and/or a reporting error.

II. General

Through its normal business procedures and through other procedures, including procedures performed in connection with the preparation of the 2013 Item 1122 Compliance Reports, the Company determined that Identified Payment Errors and Identified Reporting Errors occurred during the Period on certain RMBS transactions in the RMBS Bond Administration Platform. Although no individually identified error, in and of itself, was found to be material to the RMBS Bond Administration Platform, Management determined that, for RMBS Bond Administration Platform purposes, the aggregate number of errors constituted material noncompliance with respect to both Items 1122(d)(3)(i)(B) and 1122(d)(3)(ii) of Regulation AB. All of the Identified Payment Errors and Identified Reporting Errors were addressed as further discussed in the Remediation section below.

In some instances, the Identified Payment Errors were also considered material to the transactions on which they occurred. None of the Identified Reporting Errors were considered material for a particular transaction. For all transactions in the RMBS Bond Administration Platform, Management delivered an Item 1123 certification to the extent it was obligated to do so under the applicable transaction agreements and Regulation AB. Where an Identified Payment Error was considered material for an individual transaction, the Item 1123 certification for that transaction included a description of the nature and status of such error.

The Company developed a unique Model for each transaction in its RMBS Bond Administration Platform. On the whole, there are millions of calculations performed by the Models each distribution period for the thousands of transactions in the RMBS Bond Administration Platform. The Company’s waterfall payment calculation and reporting functions can be categorized into three processes: (i) Model Inputs, (ii) Model Programs, and (iii) Model Output Transmissions.

The Identified Payment Errors that occurred during the Period were attributable to Model Errors that occurred on certain RMBS transactions. As in 2011 and 2012, the Model Errors generally occurred due to the significant deterioration in mortgage loan performance¹ experienced by many RMBS transactions over the past several years. This deterioration in performance continues to impact Models and has led to increased Model Input Errors and Model Program Errors.² The Identified Reporting Errors that occurred during the Period were attributable to the Identified Payment Errors and missing or inaccurate information on the investor reports.

Model Programs and Model Inputs and the processes related to Model Programs and Model Inputs are, over the life of a transaction, constantly being adjusted in an effort to ensure accurate payments and reporting. Continual adjustments are required because the transactions and securities to which the Models relate are very complex and the technology and processes related to Model Programs and Model Inputs are equally complex. The level of adjustment needed for Model Programs, Model Inputs and related processes has increased as mortgage loan performance deterioration increased. The Identified Payment Errors and Identified Reporting Errors occurred during the Period notwithstanding these Model adaptations and adjustments. As further discussed in the Remediation section below, there are ongoing efforts to identify, correct and prevent problems with Models in an effort to minimize future payment and reporting errors.

¹  The significant deterioration in mortgage loan performance is evidenced by the fact that over 50 percent of the RMBS transactions in the Company’s RMBS Bond Administration Platform have reached credit support depletion. Credit support depletion is a significant event because waterfall payment priorities for the senior bonds typically change at that point.

²  High levels of RMBS mortgage loan performance deterioration impact waterfall calculations because such deterioration contributes to Model Input Errors. One example of such Model Input Errors relates to the extensive level of mortgage loan delinquencies and the resulting extensive levels of servicer advancing. High levels of advancing lead to both high advance recoveries by servicers in single distribution periods and increased servicer stop advance decisions. These phenomena require manual processing which can result in Model Input Errors.

The high level of RMBS mortgage loan performance deterioration has also contributed to Model Program Errors. The extensive collateral losses in RMBS transactions have triggered waterfall scenarios that were considered unlikely to occur at the inception of the transactions (if they were considered at all) and were not as clearly detailed as other provisions in the transaction agreements that direct waterfall calculations and distributions. Because such waterfall scenarios were not forecasted by issuers and underwriters, the Company was not provided with the necessary benchmark data needed to adequately test and validate the waterfall scenarios triggered by the unanticipated deterioration of mortgage loan performance. In turn, this inability to test the application of the waterfall in the extremely stressed conditions that thereafter occurred contributed to the occurrence of Model Program Errors.

III. Scope of the Material Instances of Noncompliance

A. Identified Payment Errors. During the Period, there were approximately 103³ Identified Payment Errors on RMBS transactions in the RMBS Bond Administration Platform. The Identified Payment Errors resulted from Model Input Errors, Model Program Errors and Model Output Transmission Errors.⁴

• Roughly half of the Identified Payment Errors resulted from Model Input Errors.

• The majority of the Model Input Errors were manual processing errors.

• Other Model Input Errors related to incorrectly interpreting and processing servicer reporting data relating to mortgage loan modifications.

• Approximately one-third of the Identified Payment Errors resulted from Model Program Errors.

• Some of the Model Program Errors related to credit support depletion Model programming logic. For example, in several RMBS transactions, the Model Program incorrectly allocated losses to various classes of senior certificates after credit support depletion which in turn caused the balance of such classes of senior certificates to be miscalculated. These balance errors led to errors in the calculation of both interest and principal and Identified Payment Errors ensued. Since accrued interest on the senior certificates is calculated by multiplying the balance of the certificates by the interest rate, interest was incorrectly calculated. Since certain allocations of principal are dependent on the relative balance of the impacted classes, payments of principal were also incorrectly calculated.

• Most of the Model Program Errors occurred because waterfall payment logic that was unrelated to credit support depletion was incorrectly programmed due to human error. Many of these Model Program Errors resulted in interest and/or principal payments not being calculated in accordance with the applicable provisions in the transaction agreements.

• The remainder of the Identified Payment Errors resulted from Model Output Transmission Errors.

• Several of the Model Output Transmission Errors occurred because payment information was not released to the payment system for the affected transactions in time and the distribution was delayed by approximately one to two business days.

³  For purposes of tabulating this number, the Company counted each Identified Payment Error as one error regardless of how many distribution periods were impacted. Some of the Identified Payment Errors impacted more than one distribution period.

⁴  The term “Model Output Transmission” and “Model Output Transmission Error” was not used in Management’s 2012 assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria originally dated February 28, 2013 and re-issued on December 20, 2013. However, the concepts represented by such terms were reflected in the terms Model Input and Model Input Error. The Company decided that separating those errors into a third category for purposes of the 2013 Assessment would provide more detailed disclosure.

• Other Model Output Transmission Errors occurred because incorrect Model Output information was provided to the Depository Trust Company or certificate insurers.

• In some cases, the Identified Payment Errors were a combination of overpayments to one or more classes of securities or transaction parties and corresponding underpayments to one or more other classes of securities or other transaction parties. These Identified Payment Errors consisting of overpayments and underpayments netted to zero because all the cash that was received from a transaction party in a payment cycle was distributed to investors or other transaction parties on the related payment date(s).

• In other cases, the Identified Payment Errors did not net to zero on the related payment dates(s) when either the Company inadvertently distributed (i) less than the required distribution on the related payment date leaving cash in a transaction account, or (ii) more than the required distribution on the related payment date causing an overdraft in a transaction account. The scenario described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence explains the majority of circumstances where overpayments and underpayments did not net to zero. An example of the clause (i) scenario relates to the Model Output Transmission Errors described above where the distribution was delayed by approximately one to two business days.

• As further described in the Remediation section below, the Company has taken appropriate corrective action, or is in the process of determining appropriate corrective action, for all the Identified Payment Errors.

B. Identified Reporting Errors. For the Period, there were approximately 172⁵ Identified Reporting Errors on RMBS transactions in the RMBS Bond Administration Platform.

• The majority of the Identified Reporting Errors resulted from the Identified Payment Errors. Inaccurate payments led to inaccurate reporting.

• The remainder of the Identified Reporting Errors were unrelated to the Identified Payment Errors.

• Most of the remainder of the Identified Reporting Errors resulted from inaccurate/incomplete bond reporting. Some examples of these Identified Reporting Errors include inaccurate reporting variables related to investor payments, incorrect tranche balance reporting, and incorrect trigger reporting.

• Other of the remainder of the Identified Reporting Errors resulted from inaccurate/incomplete mortgage loan reporting. Some examples of these Identified Reporting Errors include incorrect information on the collateral statement portion of the investor report, missing delinquency reporting, and missing loan level performance reporting.

⁵  For purposes of tabulating this number, the Company counted each Identified Reporting Error as one error regardless of how many distribution periods were impacted. Some of the Identified Reporting Errors impacted more than one distribution period.

• Investors received notice of Investor Reporting Errors by either a revised statement in connection with a restatement of the affected distributions or by correcting the reporting error on a subsequent payment date statement.

C. Comparison of 2013 Identified Payment Errors and Identified Reporting Errors to 2012 Payment and Reporting Errors

The 2013 Identified Payment Errors and the Identified Reporting Errors were generally similar in type to the payment and reporting errors that led to the material instances of noncompliance disclosed on Management’s 2012 assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria. However the errors generally occurred on different transactions than 2012. Moreover, the specific circumstances that gave rise to the errors in 2013 generally differed from the circumstances experienced in 2012. In a few cases, the same transaction was impacted in both 2012 and 2013 because the error carried over from monthly distribution periods in 2012 to monthly distribution periods in 2013. As a result, the error affected both the 2013 Assessment and the 2012 assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria. The correction of the 2013 Identified Payment Errors and Identified Reporting Errors was specific to the affected transactions and such correction does not preclude the possibility that a similar type of error would occur on a different transaction in 2014.

Examples of Model Program Errors that occurred similarly in both years involve (i) post-credit support depletion loss allocation methodology and payment priority rules, and (ii) the calculation of group-directed cash flows, interest calculation elements, and pre-credit support depletion loss allocation methodology.

Examples of Model Input Errors that occurred similarly in both years involve (i) improper coding of cash adjustments and using incorrect prior month data, (ii) loan modification inputs related to capitalization of delinquent amounts and the recovery of advances related thereto and modified interest rates in certain transaction structures, and (iii) cash adjustments related to servicer advance reimbursements that caused errors in certain calculations (e.g., the net weighted average coupon rate calculations).

While there were Model Output Transmission Errors in 2012 that contributed to the determination that there was a material instance of noncompliance with respect to Item 1122(d)(3)(ii) of Regulation AB for 2012, they generally differed from the Model Output Transmission Errors experienced in 2013. Most of the 2013 Model Output Transmission Errors were untimely transmissions of output from the related Models whereas the Model Output Transmission Errors in 2012 were timely but inaccurate transmissions of output from the related Models.

Comparing the Identified Reporting Errors in 2013 to the identified reporting errors in 2012, a substantial number in each year were caused by the payment errors (i.e., reporting an incorrect payment). There were other reporting errors in both years that related to missing and incorrect bond information and missing and incorrect mortgage loan information.

IV. Remediation

The Company has taken appropriate corrective action, or is in the process of determining appropriate corrective action, for all the Identified Payment Errors. The Identified Payment Errors for which such corrective action has been taken were rectified by means of (i) restating all affected distribution periods⁶, (ii) in one case, adjusting the affected distribution periods on a future distribution date⁷, and (iii) with respect to the Model Output Transmission Errors described in the Scope section above where the distribution was delayed by approximately one to two business days, making the additional required distribution. The restatements and adjustments occurred between January 2013 and February 2014. Investors received notice of such restatements and adjustments by means of posting revised payment date statements to the Company’s corporate trust website (www.ctslink.com).

⁶  As used in this response, the term “restatement” and the phrase “restating affected distribution periods” means the correction of an overpayment or underpayment experienced by a class of book-entry securities by (i) submitting a revised payment date statement for each affected distribution period to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) by which the DTC adjusts the accounts of the overpaid and underpaid classes, and (ii) the posting of such revised payment date statement to the Company’s corporate trust website (www.ctslink.com). In accordance with its policy in effect during the Period, the DTC revises up to twelve months of affected distributions. The process is similar for physical securities except that the Company interacts directly with affected holders as opposed to interacting with the DTC.

⁷  With respect to one transaction, the Company effected a restatement in April and May 2013 to incorporate the correct amount of a claim paid by a certificate insurer. When the same transaction was subsequently restated in September 2013 for an unrelated issue, the second restatement did not incorporate the corrected claim amount which was the subject of the first restatement. Instead of conducting a third restatement of the April and May 2013 distribution period, the Company corrected this error by distributing the correct claim funds in the January 2014 distribution period.

The Company has also taken appropriate corrective action, or is in the process of determining appropriate corrective action, for all of the Identified Reporting Errors. The Identified Reporting Errors for which such corrective action has been taken were addressed either through the issuance of a revised payment date statement (possibly in connection with a restatement of the affected distribution period) or through including the corrected reporting element on the next payment date statement.

Further, with respect to RMBS transactions generally in the RMBS Bond Administration Platform, the Company is engaged in an ongoing effort to examine and adjust waterfall calculations, operational processes and quality control measures applied to the payment calculation and reporting process in an effort to minimize future errors. To that end, the Company has undertaken an expansive project to identify, correct and prevent problems with its Models and the individual transactions that exhibited these problems. Due to the complexity of the issues and transactions involved, this is a long term, intensive project involving significant internal and external resources. In conjunction with other steps taken, the Company believes that these efforts will result in ongoing improvements to its payment and reporting processes.

Throughout 2012 and 2013, the Company has adopted numerous other initiatives in an effort to add rigor to its operational processes and quality control measures. The initiatives relate to both preventing Model Errors and identifying and correcting Model Errors. Examples of measures to prevent Model Errors include, among other things, enhancements to its (i) new Model creation procedures, (ii) procedures for pre-closing review of waterfall language in transaction agreements, and (iii) procedures for pre-payment date testing of transaction level payment calculations and reporting elements. Examples of measures to identify and correct Model Errors include, among other things, (a) enhanced procedures relating to Model revisions, (b) the creation of a team charged with conducting a careful analysis of every Model Error to determine if any additional controls are necessary to prevent the errors from re-occurring, and (c) the creation of a team to proactively perform Model Program corrections to prevent future Model Errors. The Company has hired a significant number of additional staff and reorganized various teams to more effectively manage the above-mentioned operational processes and quality control measures.

PHH Mortgage Corporation

The assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by PHH Mortgage Corporation (the “2013 PHH Assessment”) for its platform, discloses that material instances of noncompliance occurred with respect to the servicing criteria described in Item 1122(d)(4)(vii) of Regulation AB. The 2013 PHH Assessment is attached to this Form 10-K/A as exhibit 33.3.

1122(d)(4)(vii) During the year ended December 31, 2013, it was determined certain foreclosure proceedings were not concluded in accordance with the published Fannie Mae foreclosure timelines.

PHH Mortgage Corporation does not believe that any of the subject loan transactions constituted a ‘material instance of noncompliance’ because each foreclosure proceeding delay was a permissible exception to the applicable published Fannie Mae foreclosure timeline. Accordingly, there are no issues for PHH Mortgage Corporation to remediate. Additionally, PHH Mortgage Corporation has reviewed its records and determined that it has not conducted foreclosure proceedings with respect to any of the mortgage loans included in this Sequoia transaction.

The instances of noncompliance involving foreclosure and repossession procedures that were not concluded in accordance with the timelines in the transaction agreements were outside the control of PHH. The published Fannie Mae foreclosure timelines vary by state. PHH Mortgage Corporation reviewed each of the subject loan transactions in detail and concluded that, in each case, the delay in concluding foreclosure proceedings was permissible under Fannie Mae Servicing Guide Announcement SVC-2010-12 because the delay was due to reasons and circumstances outside the control of PHH Mortgage Corporation. These reasons and circumstances consisted of court delay, state mandated documentation change delay, investor delay, attorney error delay, title delay, bankruptcy delay, loss mitigation delay and contested foreclosure delay. The above-described delays have had no effect on the transactions involving the subject loans. None of the subject loans were included in this Sequoia transaction.
