GUIDELINES
Deephaven Wholesale Underwriting Guidelines, Capital Alliance HELOC Guidelines, Oaktree Funding Non-Agency Loan Eligibility Guidelines, Deephaven Correspondent Underwriting Guidelines, Federal Savings Bank Consumer Loan Division Underwriting Procedures (collectively the “Guidelines”)
LOAN GRADING
The Guidelines referenced above served as the benchmark for grading loans with respect to credit, compliance, underwriting, property valuation and data integrity. Each loan received an “initial” and a “final” grade. The “initial” grade was assigned during the initial loan review. 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.

APPENDIX B – VALUATION REVIEW SCOPE
Selene reviewed the valuation materials utilized during the origination of the loan which confirmed the value of the underlying property. Selene verified the appraisal report was (i) on the appropriate GSE form, (ii) materially complete, (iii) in conformity with the guideline requirements for the property type in question, (iv) completed by an appraiser that was actively licensed to perform the valuation, (v) completed such that the named client on the appraisal report is the lender or a related entity that is permitted to engage the lender per Title XI of FIRREA, (vi) made and signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application, (vii) completed and dated within the guidelines restrictions, (vii) made on an “as is” basis or provides satisfactory evidence of completion of all material conditions including all inspections, licenses, and certificates (including certificates of occupancy) to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the mortgaged property and with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities; and (viii) noting whether the property zip code was declared a FEMA disaster area after the valuation date and notifying the Client of same.
If more than one valuation is provided for review, Selene confirmed consistency among the valuation products and if there are discrepancies that cannot be resolved, Selene created an exception and worked with the Client on the next steps, which may include ordering of additional valuation products such as collateral desktop analyses, broker’s price opinions, and full appraisals. If the property valuation products included in Selene’s review results in a variance of more than 10% then the Client shall be notified of such variance and a second independent valuation product shall be ordered. On all loans, Selene makes a determination as to whether appraised value is supported based on documentation available at the time of review and adds exceptions or comments as appropriate.
Selene confirmed consistency among the valuation products and where applicable, if there was a discrepancy in value between two appraisals in the form of a variance greater than 10%, Selene would review the file for a desktop analysts/evaluation of the appraisals and determine which appraised value was used for qualification purposes. If there were discrepancies that could not be resolved, Selene created an exception and worked with the client on the next steps for resolution.
