The Redwood Trust, Inc. corporate charter limits beneficial ownership of capital

The Redwood Trust, Inc. board of directors agreed to waive this limitation on
behalf of Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. ("Davis Advisors") and its clients on
condition that Davis Advisors deliver a proxy to Redwood Trust, Inc. management
empowering them to "Mirror Vote" all shares in excess of 9.8%. In "Mirror
Voting" management votes the excess shares on each matter or action to be voted
on in the same proportion of votes for or against any matter or action, or
withheld as to any matter or action, as the proportion voted for or against any
such matter or action, or withheld as to any such matter or action, by all
stockholders excluding Davis Advisors and its clients. Thus, Davis Advisors
voted 9.8% of shares in conformance with its Proxy Policies and Procedures
and all shares in excess of 9.8% were Mirror Voted by management of Redwood
