SEQUOIA MORTGAGE TRUST 2013-7


MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE


 


This Certificate is
one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2013-7 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the
“Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to
a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2013 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Sequoia Residential
Funding, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”),
Citibank, N.A., as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association,
as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and restated as of January 1, 2014, to which terms, provisions and conditions
thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Certificates consist of the following Classes: Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-IO1, Class A-IO2, Class R, Class LT-R,
Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, and Class B-5.


 


On each Distribution
Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates
according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class
of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate
Principal Amount (or Certificate Notional Amount) of each such Certificate.


 


Distributions on this
Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at
the address of such Holder as it appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator
at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate
Principal Amount (or Certificate Notional Amount) of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage
Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of
such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided,
however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate
at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate
as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing
Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual
Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts
due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will
be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.


 


The Corporate Trust
Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust
office of the Certificate Registrar at 480 Washington Boulevard, 30th Floor, Jersey City, New Jersey, 07310, Attention: Agency

other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, and the Depositor
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided
further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage
Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal
Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes
of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class
of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive
and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits
the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to, the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate
initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will
be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.


 


The
Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, and Class B-5 Certificates are issuable only in registered
form in minimum denominations of $100,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and the Class A-IO1 and Class A-IO2 Certificates
are issuable only in registered form in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 in initial Certificate Notional Amount, in each case,
in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof and, in the case of the Class




    	8



    	 



    

A-1, Class A-2, Class A-IO1, Class A-IO2,
Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, will be registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, which shall
maintain such Certificates through its book-entry facilities and, in the case of the Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates, will
be maintained in physical form. The Class R and Class LT-R Certificates will each be issued as a single Certificate representing
the entire Percentage Interest in that Class and will be maintained in physical form. The Certificates shall remain outstanding
until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.


 


On any date on which
the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less than 10% of the initial Aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement
of the Certificates.


 


In no event will the
trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.


 


The Depositor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary.


 


As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New
York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.

SEQUOIA MORTGAGE TRUST 2013-7


MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE


 


This Certificate is
one of a duly authorized issue of certificates designated as Sequoia Mortgage Trust 2013-7 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the
“Certificates”), representing all or part of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund established pursuant to
a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2013 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Sequoia Residential
Funding, Inc., as depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”),
Citibank, N.A., as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association,
as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and restated as of January 1, 2014, to which terms, provisions and conditions
thereof the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents, and by which such Holder is bound. Except as
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Certificates consist of the following Classes: Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-IO1, Class A-IO2, Class R, Class LT-R,
Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, and Class B-5.


 


On each Distribution
Date, the Paying Agent, on behalf of the Trustee, will make distributions from the Distribution Account to the Holders of Certificates
according to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All distributions or allocations made with respect to each Class
of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on the Certificate
Principal Amount (or Certificate Notional Amount) of each such Certificate.


 


Distributions on this
Certificate will be made by check mailed to the Holder of record of this Certificate on the immediately preceding Record Date at
the address of such Holder as it appears on the Certificate Register or, upon written request made to the Securities Administrator
at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate
Principal Amount (or Certificate Notional Amount) of at least $1,000,000 or, in the case of any Residual Certificate, a Percentage
Interest of 100%, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in such request and at the expense of
such Certificateholder requesting such wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution; provided,
however, that the final distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate
at the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below); provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Certificate
as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry Certificate, in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing
Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each Residual
Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of the related REMIC or REMICs and the payment in full of all other amounts
due with respect to the Residual Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual Certificate will
be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.


 


The Corporate Trust
Office with respect to the presentment and surrender of Certificates for the final distribution thereon is the corporate trust
office of the Certificate Registrar at 480 Washington Boulevard, 30th Floor, Jersey City, New Jersey, 07310, Attention: Agency

other address as the Securities Administrator may designate from time to time.

The
Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended by the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, and the Depositor
with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall be made unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator receive an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting the change, that such change will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event; and provided
further, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage
Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate, without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of Certificates of each Class,
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of the Class Principal
Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates affected thereby.  For purposes
of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or “Holders” shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class
of Book-Entry Certificates, the related Certificate Owners. Any consent by the Holder of this Certificate will be conclusive
and binding upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof whether or not consent is made with respect to such Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits
the amendment thereof in certain limited circumstances without the consent of the Holders.


 


As
provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate
is registerable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust
Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to, the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class evidencing the same aggregate
initial Certificate Principal Amount (or Notional Amount) as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will
be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates.


 


The
Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, and Class B-5 Certificates are issuable only in registered
form in minimum denominations of $100,000 in initial Certificate Principal Amount and the Class A-IO1 and Class A-IO2 Certificates
are issuable only in registered form in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 in initial Certificate Notional Amount, in each case,
in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof and, in the case of the Class




    	8



    	 



    

A-1, Class A-2, Class A-IO1, Class A-IO2,
Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates, will be registered in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, which shall
maintain such Certificates through its book-entry facilities and, in the case of the Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates, will
be maintained in physical form. The Class R and Class LT-R Certificates will each be issued as a single Certificate representing
the entire Percentage Interest in that Class and will be maintained in physical form. The Certificates shall remain outstanding
until the final Distribution Date for the Certificates.


 


On any date on which
the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans has declined to less than 10% of the initial Aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund, thereby causing an early retirement
of the Certificates.


 


In no event will the
trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of a certain person named in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.


 


The Depositor, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary.


 


As provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles applied in the State of New
York. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement shall be controlling.
