In addition, Moody's upgraded 45 classes, confirmed the ratings on two classes, placed six classes on watch for possible upgrade, and withdrew the ratings on eight classes following their redemption. The downgrades were prompted by credit enhancement levels that are low in view of projected losses on the underlying pools, Moody's said.
