Reg AB Disclosure for JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.

Reg AB Item 1108 Disclosure

As of the Transfer Date, Chase Bank will act as a servicer for SEMT 2013-8. Chase Bank is a U.S. national bank headquartered in New York City that constitutes the consumer and commercial banking subsidiary of the U.S. multinational banking and financial services holding company, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPM”). JPM is a leading financial services firm based in the U.S., with operations worldwide. For more information about JPM, see SEC File Number 001-05805 relating to JPMorgan Chase & Co CIK#: 0000019617, including its Form 10-K filed on February 16, 2024.

Chase Bank has been servicing mortgage loans, including pools of mortgage loans substantially similar to the mortgage loans serviced on behalf of SEMT 2013-8, for its own portfolio and on behalf of other third parties for over twenty years As noted above, as of the Transfer Date, Chase Bank has only accepted obligations with respect to the Servicing Agreement only from and after the Transfer Date. In addition, Chase Bank is in the process of fully integrating the FRB servicing platform that it acquired from the FDIC as receiver for FRB (the “FRB Transferred Servicing”) to Chase Bank’s own servicing platform. While the scope of such transition may be quantitatively material for Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing platform, Chase Bank’s Management believes that it does not have a material impact on either (i) Chase Bank’s ability to service the related assets in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, or (ii) the securities issued by SEMT 2013-8.

The report on assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by Chase Bank relating to the FRB Transferred Servicing discloses some material instances of noncompliance occurred, as described below. Management’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB for the Period1 (as defined below), disclosed that material instances of noncompliance occurred with respect to the servicing criterion set forth in Items 1122(d)(2)(v), 1122(d)(4)(vi), and 1122(d)(4)(x)(b) as follows:

1122(d)(2)(v): Each custodial account is maintained at a federally insured depository institution as set forth in the transaction agreements. For purposes of this criterion, “federally insured depository institution” with respect to a foreign financial institution means a foreign financial institution that meets the requirements of §240.13k-1(b)(1) of this chapter.

Custodial accounts for certain transactions were not maintained at an institution meeting the minimum rating agency requirements set forth in applicable agreements.

1122(d)(4)(vi): Changes with respect to the terms or status of an obligor's pool asset (e.g., loan modifications or re-agings) are made, reviewed and approved by authorized personnel in accordance with the transaction agreements and related pool asset documents.

An instance was identified where a title transfer occurred without obtaining approval as required by the applicable transaction agreement.

1122(d)(4)(x)(b): Regarding any funds held in trust for an obligor (such as escrow accounts): Interest on such funds is paid, or credited, to obligors in accordance with applicable pool asset documents and state laws.

Certain instances were identified where interest on funds held in trust for an obligor was not paid or credited in accordance with state laws.

Chase Bank Management’s Discussion of the Material Instances of Noncompliance

1.1122(d)(2)(v) – Maintenance of Custodial Accounts:

a) General. The transaction agreements for the FRB Transferred Servicing transactions require the institutions maintaining custodial accounts for each transaction to satisfy certain eligibility criteria. Generally, such eligibility criteria can be satisfied if the institution holding the account either (i) possesses requisite long and/or short-term credit ratings from the specified rating agency(ies) (collectively, the “Requisite Ratings”), or (ii) satisfies one of the other alternative means of establishing account eligibility (collectively, “Alternative Means”). With respect to certain custodial accounts maintained by Chase Bank during the Period, Management has determined that such custodial accounts were not maintained “as set forth in the transaction agreements” because (i) Chase Bank’s long and/or short-term issuer ratings during the Period were lower than the related Requisite Ratings thresholds for such transactions, and (ii) there was no Alternative Means during the Period to satisfy account eligibility requirements for such transactions.

b) Background. Management disclosed account eligibility noncompliance as a material instance of noncompliance in Chase Bank’s 2023 Management’s Report on Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria relating to the FRB Transferred Servicing Platform for the Period (the “Chase Management’s Report”).

c) Current Scope. As of the end of the Period, Management has determined that some of Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing transactions listed on Appendix B to the Chase Management’s Report have account eligibility noncompliance. While the scope of account eligibility noncompliance may be quantitatively material for Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing platform, Management believes that the account eligibility noncompliance does not have a material impact on either (i) Chase Bank’s ability to service the transactions in accordance with the transaction agreements, or (ii) the securities issued in connection with the related transactions or the investors holding such securities.

d) Remediation. As of the Transfer Date, Chase Bank has been performing the activities related to Item 1122(d)(2)(v). Chase Bank intends to address the account eligibility noncompliance as part of its ongoing transition of the servicing business and may either move the affected accounts to banking institutions with Requisite Ratings or pursue an alternative resolution mutually acceptable to the parties.

2.1122(d)(4)(vi) – Transfer of Title:

a) General. The transaction agreements for Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing platform transactions require certain approvals before changes made be made to the underlying mortgages, including without limitation transfers of title.

b) Background. Management disclosed noncompliance with obtaining the requisite approval relating to a transfer of title as a material instance of noncompliance on the Chase Management’s Report.

c) Current Scope. As of the end of the Period, Management has determined that only one such instance of noncompliance has occurred. While the scope of account eligibility noncompliance may be quantitatively material for Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing platform, Management believes that such noncompliance does not have a material impact on either (i) Chase Bank’s ability to service the transactions in accordance with the transaction agreements, or (ii) the securities issued in connection with the related transactions or the investors holding such securities.

d) Remediation. As of the Transfer Date, Chase Bank has been performing the activities related to Item 1122(d)(4)(vi). Chase Bank intends to address the noncompliance as part of its ongoing transition of the servicing business to Chase Bank’s existing servicing platform.

3.1122(d)(4)(x)(b) – Interest on Escrow Funds:

a) General. The transaction agreements for Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing platform transactions require the institutions maintaining escrow accounts for each transaction to comply with applicable federal and state law.

b) Background. Management disclosed escrow account noncompliance as a material instance of noncompliance on the Chase Management’s Report.

c) Current Scope. As of the end of the Period, Management has determined that some of Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing transactions listed on Appendix B to the Chase Management’s Report have escrow account noncompliance. While the scope of escrow account noncompliance is quantitatively material for the Chase Bank’s FRB Transferred Servicing platform, Management believes that the escrow account noncompliance does not have a material impact on either (i) Chase Bank’s ability to service the transactions in accordance with the transaction agreements, or (ii) the securities issued in connection with the related transactions or the investors holding such securities.

d) Remediation. As of the Transfer Date, Chase Bank has been performing the activities related to Item 1122(d)(4)(x)(b). An analysis and correction plan is underway and Chase Bank intends to address the escrow account noncompliance as part of its ongoing transition of the servicing business to Chase Bank’s existing servicing platform.

1Due to the transfer by the FDIC of FRB’s servicing related to SEMT 2013-8 to Chase Bank on the Transfer Date, and for purposes of its servicing activities related to Item 1122(d)(2)(v) of Regulation AB, Chase Bank’s reporting period for its FRB Transferred Servicing platform was from May 1, 2023 through and including December 31, 2023 (the “Period”).

The identified instance relating to Item 1122(d)(4)(vi) did not involve the servicing of the assets backing the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 8-K.

The identified instance relating to Item 1122(d)(4)(x)(b) did involve the servicing of the assets backing the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 8-K.

An analysis is currently underway to determine whether the identified instance relating to Item 1122(d)(2)(v) involves the servicing of the assets backing the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 8-K but it is likely that it does.
