Each loan reviewed will be assigned a Compliance condition grade in accordance with the Rating Agency Criteria as more fully described in Section 2(f).

Consultant will not make a determination as to whether the loans comply with federal, state or local laws, constitutional provisions, regulations or ordinances that are not expressly enumerated above. Furthermore, the findings reached by Consultant are dependent upon its receipt of complete and accurate data regarding the loans from loan originators and other third parties upon which Consultant is relying in reaching such findings.

Ability to Repay and Qualified Mortgage Review

For Agency Eligible Loans Only: Consultant reviews applicable loans for compliance with the Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule requirements set forth in Regulation Z (12 C.F.R. 1026.43 et seq.) based upon the loan’s designation (Safe Harbor QM, Rebuttable Presumption QM, Exempt). Consultant determines the loan’s status under the QM rule requirements and assigns a due diligence loan designation. Consultant notes as a material exception if the due diligence findings do not confirm the same loan designation. Additionally, Consultant notes if a loan designation was not provided. Consultant will verify if each loan meets the requirements for a QM under § 1026.43(e)(2)—whether the loan is a safe harbor QM under § 1026.43(e)(1)(i) or a rebuttable presumption QM under § 1026.43(e)(1)(ii). Consultant will verify the presence of documentation for lender determination of QM and indicating factors in its ability-to-repay determination, including how the originator applied its policies and procedures in verification. For loans applications taken on or after June 1, 2021, Consultant will verify whether the loan meets the requirements of the revised general QM definition effective March 1, 2021.

For loans for which applications were received prior to July 1, 2021, if a loan was designated as QM and identified as eligible for guarantee, purchase, or insurance by an applicable agency as permitted under the QM final rule, Consultant reviews the loan to determine whether, based on available information in the loan file the loan satisfied (i), (ii) and (iii) in the paragraph (3)(a)(i) below and reviews the Automated Underwriting System output within the file to confirm agency eligibility.

For Non-Agency Eligible Loans: Consultant reviews applicable loans for compliance with the Ability to Repay (ATR) but not Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule requirements set forth in Regulation Z (12 C.F.R. 1026.43 et seq.).

a. Qualified Mortgage:

For QM (Safe Harbor or HPCT) designated loans, Consultant reviews the loan to determine whether, based on available information in the loan file: (i) the loan contains risky loan features and terms (e.g. an interest only feature or negative amortization), (ii) the “points and fees” exceed the applicable QM threshold, (iii) the monthly payment was calculated appropriately. Consultant reviews to the applicable consider and verify requirements under the QM rule depending on whether the QM was originated under the original general QM definition or the revised general QM definition effective March 1, 2021.

ii.

For each QM designated loan that satisfied the applicable requirements enumerated above, Consultant then determines whether the loan is a Safe Harbor QM or Higher Priced QM by comparing the loan’s actual annual percentage rate, as recalculated, to the applicable average prime offer rate plus a certain percentage. For QM designated loans originated under the revised general QM definition effective March 1, 2021, Consultant also determines whether the loan exceeds the pricing thresholds for QM loans.

b. Ability to Repay:

The ability to repay portion of the review for non-agency eligible loans only will focus on the eight factors detailed in the ATR Rule as detailed below for non-agency eligible loans. The Consultant will review the loan file to determine if the creditor verified and considered each of the eight factors utilizing reasonably reliable third-party documentation at or before consummation.

Current or reasonably expected income or assets that the consumer will rely on to repay the loan.

Current employment status

Monthly mortgage payment for subject loan using the introductory or fully indexed rate, whichever is higher, and monthly, fully amortizing payments that are substantially equal.

Debts, alimony, and child support obligations

Monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income

Credit history

ii.

For loans designated as agency eligible, Consultant will not review for compliance with the requirements of Appendix Q or General Ability to Repay.

iii.

Consultant reviews loans to determine their conformity with the ATR/QM factors above and is not rendering an independent assessment or analysis. Consultant’s review is based on information contained in the loan file at the time it is provided to Consultant and only reflects information as of that point in time and does not mean any regulator, judicial or agency will agree with the Consultant’s conclusion.

Regulatory Compliance Disclaimer

Please be advised that Consultant will not make a determination as to whether loans complied with federal, state or local laws, constitutional provisions, regulations or ordinances that are not expressly enumerated herein. There can be no assurance that the review uncovered all issues relating to the origination of the mortgage loans, their compliance with applicable law and regulation and the original appraisals relating of the mortgaged properties or uncovered all relevant factors that could affect the future performance of the mortgage loans. Furthermore, the findings reached by Consultant are dependent upon its receiving complete and accurate data regarding the mortgage loans from loans originators and other third parties upon which Consultant is relying in reaching such findings.

Please be further advised that Consultant does not employ personnel who are licensed to practice law in various jurisdictions, and the findings set forth in the reports prepared by Consultant do not constitute legal advice or opinions. They are recommendations or conclusions based on information provided to Consultant. All final decisions as to whether to purchase or enter into a transaction related to any individual mortgage loan or the mortgage loans in the aggregate, any investment strategy and any legal conclusions, including potential liability related to the purchase or other transaction involving any such loans, shall be made solely by the Client, or other agreed upon party, that has engaged Consultant to prepare its reports pursuant to its instructions and guidelines. Client, or other agreed upon party, acknowledges and agrees that the scoring models applied by Consultant are designed to identify potential risk and the Client, or other agreed upon party, assumes sole responsibility for determining the suitability of the information for its particular use.

Seasoning And Certain Compliance Exceptions

Pursuant to the applicable NRSRO criteria, Consultant graded certain compliance exceptions as non-material based on seasoning of the mortgage loan. Certain mortgage loans were seasoned beyond the applicable period under TILA in which affirmative claims could be brought by a consumer. The time period is not limited for claims, other than recession, which are raised as a defense to foreclosure. Information contained in any Consultant reports related to the applicable statute of limitations for certain claims may not be accurate or reflect the most recent controlling case law. Further, a particular court in a particular jurisdiction may extend, not enforce or otherwise allow claims beyond the statute of limitations identified in the report based on certain factors, including the facts and circumstances of an individual loan.
