OVERVIEW

On behalf of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”), Clayton conducted an independent third-party pre-securitization due diligence review of 101 residential loans selected for the Chase 2025-RPL1 transaction. The loans referenced in this narrative report were reviewed on a bulk loan basis from August 2020 to December 2020 at Clayton’s centralized underwriting facilities in Tampa, FL and Denver, CO.

This narrative report provides information about the scope of work performed by Clayton, and the results of Clayton’s review.

CLAYTON’S THIRD PARTY REVIEW (“TPR”) SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of work for this transaction consisted of Regulatory Compliance Review, Loan Modification, Data Integrity Review, 36 month Payment History/Servicing, and Title/Lien search.

A review of the full population (101 loans) was performed on the Compliance and Tax and Lien review.

A Review of 90 loans for Pay History/Pay String, 64 loans containing servicing comments and 75 loans that contained a modification were also performed.

LOAN GRADING

Each loan received an “initial” and a “final” grade. The “initial” grade was assigned during the initial loan review. The “final” grade takes into account additional information and supporting documentation that may have been provided by the servicer to clear outstanding conditions. Clayton is providing a comprehensive loan-level analysis as part of this pre-securitization reporting package that includes initial grades, final grades and detailed commentary on the rationale for any changes in grades, and sets forth waivers. The compliance exception report and the modification data report lists all exceptions within a loan that were part of the scope of work noted in this narrative.

This module is only used in the following states, where the laws or releases by the regulators provide an indication of some standards that can be applied.

Borrower’s Interest
Maine	Ohio	South Carolina
Massachusetts	Rhode Island

See attached Exhibit A - Consumer Protection Laws for additional details on the specific components of the aforementioned Consumer Protection laws that are evaluated as part of the Clayton Compliance Review Scope:

Texas Equity

In addition to identifying whether Texas refinances are cash out transactions subject to the Texas Constitution Article 16 Section 50(a)(6) requirements, Clayton reviews the title report to confirm prior loans being refinanced are continuous purchase money and not (a)(6) loans. In the event a loan is determined to be a Texas Home Equity loan, the underwriter reviews the loan images to confirm the loan meets the Texas requirements including maximum LTV/CLTV, 3% fee cap, product restrictions and the required disclosures were provided to the borrower in accordance with required timelines.

GSE Testing

Clayton can review loans to determine whether they comply with Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s Points and Fees threshold tests. These fee limitations of 5% for all loans with application dates prior to 1/10/2014 were reduced to 3% on Primary and Second Homes for applications on or after 1/10/2014. If requested, loans can be reviewed to determine whether the loan is a residential mortgage transaction ineligible for delivery due to its APR or fees exceeding the HOEPA thresholds. Clayton offers Lender Letter and non-traditional mortgage testing for Fannie Mae. (Note: Fannie Mae requires a non-disclosure agreement between the client and Fannie Mae for Clayton to report these results.)

Disclaimer

Please be advised that Clayton has not determined whether the Loans comply with federal, state or local laws, constitutional provisions, regulations or ordinances, including, but not limited to, licensing and general usury laws that set rate and/or fee limitations, unless listed above. Clayton’s review is focused on issues that raise concerns for secondary market investors and other assignees, based on potential for assignee liability, an adverse impact on the lien, and regulatory, litigation and headline risk. Clayton’s review is not designed to fully test a lender’s compliance with all applicable disclosure and licensing requirements. Furthermore, the findings reached by Clayton are dependent upon its receiving complete and accurate data regarding the Loans from loan originators and other third parties. Please be further advised that Clayton and its employees do not engage in the practice of law, and the findings set forth in the reports prepared by Clayton do not constitute legal advice or opinions.
