CERTIFICATION

I, Harold F. Zagunis, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of
Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hereby certify that:

1.     I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K, and all reports on
Form 8-K containing distribution or servicing reports filed in respect of the
Certificates for periods included in the year covered by this annual report, of
Sequoia Residential Funding, Inc.;

2.     Based on my knowledge, the information in these reports, taken as a
whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading as of the
last day of the period covered by this annual report;

3.     Based on my knowledge, the distribution or servicing information
required to be provided to the trustee by the servicer under the pooling and
servicing agreement, for inclusion in these reports is included in these
reports;

4.     Based on my knowledge and upon the annual compliance statement included
in the report and required to be delivered to the trustee in accordance with
the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, and except as disclosed in
the reports, the servicer has fulfilled its obligations under the servicing
agreement; and

5.     The reports disclose all significant deficiencies relating to the
servicers compliance with the minimum servicing standards based upon the
report provided by an independent public accountant, after conducting a review
in compliance with the Uniform Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or
similar procedure, as set forth in the pooling and servicing agreement, that is
included in these reports.

In giving the certifications above, I have reasonably relied on
information provided to me by the following unaffiliated parties: Morgan
Stanley Dean Witter Credit Corporation, as Servicer, GreenPoint Mortgage
Funding, Inc., as Servicer, and Cendant Mortgage Corporation, as Servicer.
