(6) Value of collateral securing the assets: review and methodology. 

At the direction of the Client, AMC conducted a valuation review utilizing various values and methodologies as further detailed in Item 5 below. In total, for the entire original population, Client ordered secondary valuation products on eighty-two (82) mortgage loans, ninety-three (93) properties. Once these valuations were received, AMC compared these values versus the origination appraisal. If a variance between the origination appraisal / LTV value and the secondary valuation was greater than 10%, an adverse event level was placed on the loan.

 

(7) Compliance of the originator of the assets with federal, state and local laws and regulations: review and methodology. 

AMC did not review residential mortgage compliance on any loans within the securitization.

 

(8) Other: review and methodology. 

The final review results reflected in the Overall Review Results Summary herein may include additional exceptions identified after AMC’s initial review was completed where loan level issues were identified by external parties as a result of separate, distinct quality control evaluation of the loan files. In such cases, any additional exceptions cited by any such quality control evaluation would either be reflected (i) as an open exception or (ii) remediated if required documentation and/or curative actions were provided to AMC. The exception totals reflected herein, and corresponding Exception Rating, include exceptions that were so subsequently identified, if any. Please note that only a limited number of loans, if any, reflected in the Review Results Summary were subject to such external quality control evaluations.    

 

In addition to the procedures under Section 5 and 6 above, AMC conducted the following supplemental reviews:

SitusAMC conducted a limited review of the origination appraisal documentation for each loan and property not included in the Guideline Review. For each loan and property, SitusAMC reviewed the applicable appraisal to determine what the property condition was and if the appraiser indicated any damage or safety concerns at the time of the inspection.
