NOTE: On November 12, 2012 the press release was revised as follows: Added the following paragraph after the first paragraph of the Ratings Rationale section:
In addition, the rating actions on the Class 2-A-4 bond from Banc of America 2004-2 Trust and the Class 3-A-2 bond from Banc of
America 2004-G Trust are a result of correcting an error in cash flow modeling. These tranches were included in the January 31, 2012
rating action in which Moody's placed a large number of bonds on watch. However, the modeling used for the Class 2-A-4 bond from
Banc of America 2004-2 Trust did not take into account the fact that this bond is a super senior support bond to all other 2A Classes,
thereby making it look stronger than it really was, while the modeling used for the Class 3-A-2 bond from Banc of America 2004-G
Trust used an incorrectly inflated balance for Class B-1, thereby giving additional credit support to Class 3-A-2. The cash-flow modeling
has now been corrected, and today's rating actions reflect this change.
Revised release follows.
New York, May 11, 2012 -- Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the ratings of 91 tranches and
confirmed the ratings of 52 tranches from 20 RMBS transactions,
backed by prime jumbo loans, issued by Banc of America.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The actions are a result of the recent performance review of Prime pools
originated before 2005 and reflect Moody's updated loss expectations on
these pools.
In addition, the rating actions on the Class 2-A-4 bond from Banc of America 2004-2 Trust and the Class 3-A-2 bond from Banc of
America 2004-G Trust are a result of correcting an error in cash flow modeling. These tranches were included in the January 31, 2012
rating action in which Moody's placed a large number of bonds on watch. However, the modeling used for the Class 2-A-4 bond from
Banc of America 2004-2 Trust did not take into account the fact that this bond is a super senior support bond to all other 2A Classes,
thereby making it look stronger than it really was, while the modeling used for the Class 3-A-2 bond from Banc of America 2004-G
Trust used an incorrectly inflated balance for Class B-1, thereby giving additional credit support to Class 3-A-2. The cash-flow modeling
has now been corrected, and today's rating actions reflect this change.
The methodologies used in these ratings were "Moody's Approach to Rating
US Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities" published in December
2008, and "Pre-2005 US RMBS Surveillance Methodology" published
in January 2012. The methodology used in rating Interest-Only
Securities was "Moody's Approach to Rating Structured Finance
Interest-Only Securities" published in February 2012.
Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for
a copy of these methodologies.
The downgrades are a result of deteriorating performance and/or structural
features resulting in higher expected losses for certain bonds than previously
anticipated. For e.g., for shifting interest
structures, back-ended liquidations could expose the seniors
to tail-end losses. The subordinate bonds in the majority
of these deals are currently receiving 100% of their principal
payments, and thereby depleting the dollar enhancement available
to the senior bonds. In our current approach, we capture
this risk by running each individual pool through a variety of loss and
prepayment scenarios in the Structured Finance Workstation? (SFW),
the cash flow model developed by Moody's Wall Street Analytics.
This individual pool level analysis incorporates performance variances
across the different pools and the structural nuances of the transaction.
The above mentioned approach "Pre-2005 US RMBS Surveillance Methodology"
is adjusted slightly when estimating losses on pools left with a small
number of loans to account for the volatile nature of small pools.
Even if a few loans in a small pool become delinquent, there could
be a large increase in the overall pool delinquency level due to the concentration
risk. To project losses on pools with fewer than 100 loans,
Moody's first estimates a "baseline" average rate of new delinquencies
for the pool that is set at 3% for Jumbo and which is typically
higher than the average rate of new delinquencies for larger pools.
Once the baseline rate is set, further adjustments are made based
on 1) the number of loans remaining in the pool and 2) the level of current
delinquencies in the pool. The fewer the number of loans remaining
in the pool, the higher the volatility in performance. Once
the loan count in a pool falls below 75, the rate of delinquency
is increased by 1% for every loan less than 75. For example,
for a pool with 74 loans, the adjusted rate of new delinquency would
be 3.03%. In addition, if current delinquency
levels in a small pool is low, future delinquencies are expected
to reflect this trend. To account for that, the rate calculated
above is multiplied by a factor ranging from 0.75 to 2.5
for current delinquencies ranging from less than 2.5% to
greater than 10% respectively. Delinquencies for subsequent
years and ultimate expected losses are projected using the approach described
in the methodology publication listed above.
When assigning the final ratings to senior bonds, in addition to
the methodologies described above, we considered the volatility
of the projected losses and timeline of the expected defaults.
For bonds backed by small pools, we also considered the current
pipeline composition as well as any specific loss allocation rules that
could preserve or deplete the overcollateralization available for the
senior bonds at different pace.
The above methodology only applies to pools with at least 40 loans and
a pool factor of greater than 5%. Moody's may withdraw its
rating when the pool factor drops below 5% and the number of loans
in the pool declines to 40 loans or lower unless specific structural features
allow for a monitoring of the transaction (such as a credit enhancement
floor).
Certain securities are insured by financial guarantors. For securities
insured by a financial guarantor, the rating on the securities is
the higher of (i) the guarantor's financial strength rating and (ii) the
current underlying rating (i.e., absent consideration
of the guaranty) on the security. The principal methodology used
in determining the underlying rating is the same methodology for rating
securities that do not have a financial guaranty and is as described earlier.
The primary source of assumption uncertainty is the current macroeconomic
environment, in which unemployment levels remain high, and
weakness persists in the housing market. Moody's Macroeconomic
Board and Moody's Analytics (MA) still expect a below-trend
growth for the US economy for 2012, with the unemployment rate remaining
high between 8% to 9% and home prices dropping another 2-3%
from the levels seen in 1Q 2011.

REGULATORY DISCLOSURES
The Global Scale Credit Ratings on this press release that are issued
by one of Moody's affiliates outside the EU are endorsed by Moody's Investors
Service Ltd., One Canada Square, Canary Wharf,
London E 14 5FA, UK, in accordance with Art.4 paragraph
3 of the Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on Credit Rating Agencies.
Further information on the EU endorsement status and on the Moody's office
that has issued a particular Credit Rating is available on www.moodys.com.
For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt,
this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation
to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series
or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings
are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's
rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider,
this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation
to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular
rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the
support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings,
this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation
to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive
rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt,
in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed
prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would
have affected the rating. For further information please see the
ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com.
Information sources used to prepare each of the ratings are the following:
parties involved in the ratings, public information, confidential
and proprietary Moody's Investors Service information, and confidential
and proprietary Moody's Analytics information.
Moody's received and took into account one or more third party assessments
on the due diligence performed regarding the underlying assets or financial
instruments in these transactions and the assessments had a neutral impact
on the rating.
Moody's considers the quality of information available on the rated entities,
obligations or credits satisfactory for the purposes of issuing these
ratings.
Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses
in assigning the ratings is of sufficient quality and from sources Moody's
considers to be reliable including, when appropriate, independent
third-party sources. However, Moody's is not an auditor
and cannot in every instance independently verify or validate information
received in the rating process.
In addition to the information provided below please find on the ratings
tab of the issuer page at www.moodys.com, for each
of the ratings covered, Moody's disclosures on the lead rating analyst
and the Moody's legal entity that has issued each of the ratings.
Please see the ratings disclosure page on www.moodys.com
for general disclosure on potential conflicts of interests.

for information on (A) MCO's major shareholders (above 5%) and
for (B) further information regarding certain affiliations that may exist
between directors of MCO and rated entities as well as (C) the names of
entities that hold ratings from MIS that have also publicly reported to
the SEC an ownership interest in MCO of more than 5%. A
member of the board of directors of this rated entity may also be a member
of the board of directors of a shareholder of Moody's Corporation;
however, Moody's has not independently verified this matter.

page on www.moodys.com for further information on the meaning
of each rating category and the definition of default and recovery.

be available. Consequently, Moody's provides a date that
it believes is the most reliable and accurate based on the information
that is available to it. Please see the ratings disclosure page
on our website www.moodys.com for further information.
