DECLARATION OF LAUNI SOLOMON

I, Launi Solomon, declare as follows:

1. I am a business analyst at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase") in Phoenix,

Arizona in the Recovery M01igage Depmiment. I have been employed in that department since

approximately 2007. Except as otherwise stated, I make this declaration based on my own

personal knowledge and experience at Chase and my review of Chase's business records.

2. I understand that this litigation concerns certain distressed mortgage debt that was

purchased by the Plaintiff entities from Chase in and before 2009. During the period from 2007

until 2014, my job responsibilities including providing post-sale supp01i to third parties that

purchased distressed mortgage debt from Chase. In that capacity, I was the primary point of

contact for the principal of the Plaintiff entities, Laurence Schneider, and other employees of the

Plaintiff entities.

3. At all times prior to 2013, I provided Plaintiffs with the documents and data that

they requested from Chase, including original loan files, to the extent that they existed within

Chase. In 2013, after Mr. Schneider threatened legal action against Chase, Mr. Schneider and I

were informed that future requests for support by Mr. Schneider should be directed to counsel for

Chase. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is an excerpt from my May 17, 2017, deposition testimony

relating to this topic.

4. In 2009, Plaintiff Mortgage Resolution Servicing, LLC ("MRS") purchased a

large number of distressed mortgage loans from Chase in a bulk sale. I was informed of the bulk

sale shortly after it occurred by Chase employees Victor Fox and Eddie Guerrero. Messrs. Fox

and Guerrero told me that (1) Mr. Schneider was aware that many of the loans included in the

bulk sale were unsecured and/or otherwise valueless, (2) Mr. Schneider did not intend to attempt

to "work" or collect upon all of the loans included in the loan pool, and (3) Mr. Schneider

therefore did not want or need documents relating to all of the loans included in the sale.

Instead, Mr. Schneider would request documents and data on an "as needed" basis for specific

loans or groups of loans on which he might try to collect.

5. For several years after the bulk sale, the course of my dealings with Mr. Schneider

was consistent with that understanding. As discussed above, whenever Mr. Schneider requested

documents or data from me regarding loans included in the bulk sale, I provided them to the best

of my ability. See, e.g., Exhibit 2.

6. I understand Mr. Schneider has complained that he did not receive certain

assignments of mortgage from Chase relating to the loans included in the bulk sale. After the

bulk sale was completed, however, Chase and Mr. Schneider agreed that MRS (not Chase)

would prepare any assignments that MRS determined were necessary. Attached hereto as

Exhibit 3 is an email exchange dated January 26, 2010, between Mr. Schneider and myself in

which Mr. Schneider stated "I told Eddie [Guerrero] that we would prepare assignments as we

need them and send them to you for execution" as a " gesture of good will for future business."

Also attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is an excerpt from my May 17, 2017 , deposition testimony

relating to this topic.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on Jun ' ~2017 in Phoenix, Arizona.

No blanket assignment. We had to prepare each assignment of mortgage separately. As a gesture of good will for
future business, I told Eddie that we would prepare assignments as we need them and send them to your for execution
to save Chase money but more importantly, to make your life easier (seriously) ...

Is Mike Boyle recently sell or transfer a pool?
