The following table s represent all of the Corporation's commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of March 31 , 201 6 and December 31, 201 5 . The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled. The Corporation's internal commercial credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans. Pass loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. Special Mention loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. Substandard loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances. Loss loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

During the three months ended March 31 , 201 6 and 201 5 , there were no loan modifications made that would cause a loan to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to the borrower from the original terms. A concession is generally granted in order to improve the financial condition of the borrower and improve the likelihood of full collection by the lender. A concession is generally defined as more favorable payment or credit terms granted to a borrower in an effort to improve the likelihood of the lender collecting principal in its entirety. Concessions usually are in the form of interest only for a period of time, or a lower interest rate offered in an effort to enable the borrower to continue to make normally scheduled payments.
