The “final” grade considers additional information and supporting documentation that may have been provided by the originators to clear outstanding conditions. Selene’s loan grading is solely based on Selene’s independent assessment of all Guideline exceptions and compensating factors for each of the component reviews. Selene is providing a comprehensive loan-level analysis that includes initial grades, final grades and detailed commentary on the rationale for any changes in grades and sets forth compensating factors and waivers.

SCOPE OF REVIEW
