LEVI STRAUSS: Satisfies Terms on US$525MM Senior Notes Offering
---------------------------------------------------------------
Levi Strauss & Co. has satisfied certain conditions to the
tender offer for all of its outstanding US$525 million aggregate
principal amounts of its 12.25% Senior Notes due 2012, including
the amendment of its senior secured revolving credit facility.

The company also disclosed that the holders of Notes
representing not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes have validly tendered their
Notes and delivered their consents.

The company and the trustee for the Notes have executed a
supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the Notes that
eliminates or makes less restrictive most of the restrictive
covenants, and certain related events of default, contained in
the indenture.

The company has entered into a second amended and restated
credit agreement among the company, Levi Strauss Financial
Center Corporation, the financial institutions party thereto and
Bank of America, N.A., as agent.

A summary description of the material terms of the amendment
includes:

   * The term of the Credit Agreement has been extended through
     Oct. 11, 2012.

   * The maximum availability under the Credit Agreement was
     increased from US$550 million to US$750 million and
     includes a US$250 million term loan tranche.  The entire
     Credit Agreement will be secured by certain U.S. trademarks
     associated with the Levi's(R) brand.  The term loan
     tranche amortizes on a quarterly basis based on a straight
     line two-year amortization schedule to a residual value of
     25% of the net orderly liquidation value of the trademarks
     with no additional repayments required until maturity so
     long as the remaining amount of the tranche does not
     exceed such 25% valuation.  The term loan tranche will be
     borrowed on a first dollar drawn basis.  As the term loan
     tranche is repaid, the maximum availability under the
     Credit Agreement will not be automatically reduced by the
     amount of the repayment.  The lien on the trademarks, but
     not the other assets, will be released upon the full
     repayment of the term loan tranche.

   * The Credit Agreement includes as a financial covenant a
     springing fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1, which arises
     when excess availability under the Credit Agreement is
     less than US$100 million.  This covenant will be
     discontinued upon termination and repayment of the term
     loan tranche described above and the implementation of a
     liquidity reserve of US$50 million.

   * The revolving portion of the Credit Agreement initially
     bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points or
     base rate plus 25 basis points subject to adjustments
     based on availability.  The term loan tranche bears an
     interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points or base rate
     plus 125 basis points.

In connection with its tender offer and consent solicitation,
the company has accepted for purchase US$505.8 million of the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes for a total
payment of US$563.2 million, including US$15.2 million in
consent payments to holders who validly tendered their Notes and
delivered their consents on or prior to 5 p.m., New York City
time, on Oct. 3, 2007.

The company drew US$343.2 million under the second amended and
restated revolving credit facility and used US$220 million from
cash on hand to fund these payments.

The tender offer will expire at midnight, New York City time,
Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2007, unless extended by the company.
Holders who validly tender their Notes after 5 p.m., New York
City time, on Oct. 3, 2007 and prior to the expiration of the
tender offer will not receive the consent payment and, therefore
their tender consideration will be US$1,043.99 per US$1,000
principal amount of Notes.

The company has retained Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as a
dealer manager and solicitation agent in connection with the
tender offer and consent solicitation.  Questions about the
tender offer and consent solicitation may be directed to Credit
Suisse at 212-325-4951 (collect).

Holders can request documents from D.F. King & Co. Inc., the
information agent and tender agent, at 888-887-0082 (U.S. toll
free) or 212-269-5550 (collect).

SOLUTIA INC: Files Consensual Plan of Reorganization
----------------------------------------------------
Solutia Inc. filed a consensual plan of reorganization on Oct.
15, 2007, that has the support of all major constituents in its
Chapter 11 case.  The plan -- known as the fifth amended plan of
reorganization -- was filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York along with Solutia's fifth
amended disclosure statement.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 27, 2007,
Solutia secured the support of all of the major constituents in
its Chapter 11 cases for a consensual plan of reorganization,
including the Ad Hoc Committee of Solutia Noteholders, the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors, Monsanto Company, Pharmacia
Corporation, the Official Committee of Retirees, and the Ad Hoc
Committee of Trade Creditors.  As part of the settlement, the
following parties executed agreements earlier this month in
support of the settlement and revised plan of reorganization:
Monsanto, noteholders controlling at least $300.1 million in
principal amount of the 2027/2037 notes, the official committee
of general unsecured creditors, the official committee of equity
security holders, the ad hoc trade committee, and Solutia.

"This consensual plan of reorganization will facilitate
Solutia's emergence from Chapter 11 as a financially healthy
company," Jeffry N. Quinn, chairman, president and chief
executive officer of Solutia Inc., said.

             Major Terms Underlying Settlement and
                       Reorganization Plan

(1) $250 Million of New Investment

The revised plan will provide for $250 million of new investment
in reorganized Solutia.  This investment will be in the form of
a rights offering to the noteholders and general unsecured
creditors, who will be given the opportunity to purchase shares
of the new common stock on a pro rata basis at a 33.3% discount
to the implied equity value.  The rights offering will be
backstopped by a group of Solutia's creditors (i.e. they will
purchase any shares not bought by other creditors).  For this
commitment they will receive a fee of 2.50% and an allocation of
15% of the rights offering.

The $250 million generated as a result of the rights  offering
will be used: $175 million will be set aside in a Voluntary
Employees' Beneficiary Association Retiree Trust to fund the
retiree welfare benefits for those pre-spin retirees whom
receive these benefits from Solutia; and $75 million will be
used by Solutia to pay for other legacy liabilities being
retained by the company.

(2) Relief from Tort Litigation and Environmental Remediation
    Liabilities

Consistent with Solutia and Monsanto's prior agreement, the
settlement provides that Monsanto will take on financial
responsibilities in the areas of tort litigation and
environmental
remediation.

   -- Monsanto will be financially responsible for all
      current and future tort litigation costs arising from
      Pharmacia's chemical business prior to the Solutia
      spinoff.  This includes litigation arising from
      exposure to PCBs and other chemicals.

   -- Monsanto will accept financial responsibility for
      environmental remediation and clean-up obligations at
      all sites for which Solutia was required to assume
      responsibility at the spinoff but which were never
      owned or operated by Solutia.  Solutia will remain
      responsible for the environmental liabilities at sites
      that it presently owns or operates.

   -- Solutia and Monsanto will share financial
      responsibility  with respect to two sites. Under this
      cost-sharing arrangement the first $50 million of post-
      emergence remediation and cleanup costs will be funded by
      the proceeds of the rights offering described above.
      Upon emergence, Solutia would be responsible for the
      funding of these sites up to an agreed amount.
      Thereafter, if needed, Monsanto and Solutia would share
      responsibility equally.

(3) Current Equity Holders New Common Stock Purchase Option

Under the revised plan, in addition to other considerations,
current equity holders that own at least a specified number of
shares of Solutia common stock will receive rights to purchase,
at the time of the company's emergence from bankruptcy, a pro
rata share of up to 17% of the new common stock for
$175 million which is at a discount from the implied equity
value under the revised plan.  The proceeds from the sale of
this equity will fund a cash payment to Monsanto of up to $175
million.  Any portion of the 17% of the new common stock that is
not purchased by current equity holders will be distributed to
Monsanto under the revised plan.

(4) Settlement of Litigation and Claims Objection

Each of the settling parties has agreed to stay all pending
litigation relating to Solutia's chapter 11 cases until the
effective date of the plan, at which time this litigation will
be dismissed.  This includes objections to the disclosure
statement and plan of reorganization filed by the noteholders
and the equity security holders, the adversary proceeding filed
by the equity security holders against Monsanto and Pharmacia,
objections to the claims filed in the case by Monsanto and
Pharmacia, and the noteholders' appeal of the decision in the
litigation related to the secured or unsecured nature of their
claims.

(5) Composition of Board of Directors

Under the revised plan, reorganized Solutia's Board of Directors
will be comprised of nine members, including: Jeffry N. Quinn,
Solutia's chairman, president and chief executive officer; J.
Patrick Mulcahy, a current director of Solutia; one director
designated by each of Monsanto, the general unsecured creditors
and the noteholders; and four directors designated by a five-
person search committee consisting of Mr. Quinn, two
representatives from the noteholders and one representative each
from the general unsecured creditors and the ad hoc trade
creditors.  Solutia has engaged the services of Spencer Stuart,
a global search firm, to begin the process of helping identify
and recommend highly qualified board candidates.

(6) Anticipated Creditor Recoveries and Equity Ownership

Assuming full subscription to the rights offering by the
participating parties (including the backstop parties), a full
exercise of the new common stock purchase option, and an
estimated general unsecured claims pool of $342 million, the
following creditors and equity security holders will receive
these distributions:

   -- General Unsecured Creditors will receive their pro rata
      share of 31.4% of the new common stock, resulting in a
      recovery of 80.6 cents on the dollar.

   -- Noteholders will receive their pro rata share of
      43.8% of the new common stock, resulting in a
      recovery of 88.4 cents on the dollar.

   -- Monsanto will receive up to $175 million in cash.  Any
      shares of new common stock not purchased by current
      equity holders pursuant to the new common stock
      purchase option will be distributed to Monsanto and
      the cash distribution reduced accordingly.

   -- Equity Security Holders will receive their pro rate
      share of 1% of the new common stock and pursuant to
      the new common stock purchase option, holders that own
      at least a specified number of shares of Solutia
      common stock will receive rights to purchase a pro
      rata share of up to 17% of the new common stock.

      Assuming the new common stock purchase option is
      fully exercised, current equity security holders will
      own up to 18% of the new common stock.

      Additionally, current equity security holders will
      have these rights:  i) holders who own at least a
      specified number of shares of Solutia common stock will
      receive their pro rata share of five-year warrants to
      purchase 7.5% of the common stock; and ii) holders who
      own at least a specified number of shares of Solutia
      common stock will receive the right to participate in a
      buy out for cash of  general unsecured claims of less
      than $100,000 for an amount equal to 52.35% of the
      allowed amount of such claims, subject to election of
      each general unsecured creditor to sell their claim.

   -- Retirees will receive the benefits provided for under
      the terms of the settlement between Solutia and its
      retirees, which was previously announced and is not
      being altered by the settlement currently announced.
      In accordance with that settlement, the retirees, as
      a class, will receive 2% of the new common stock.
      This stock will be deposited into a VEBA trust that
      will be used to pay retiree welfare benefits.  This
      is in addition to the $175 million from the rights
      offering that will also be deposited into the VEBA
      trust.

   -- Backstop Parties (the backstoppers of the rights
      offering) will own 4.7% of the new common stock.

                    General Plan Assumptions

Solutia will be an independent, publicly traded company listed
on a national exchange.  The enterprise value of reorganized
Solutia is currently estimated to be $2.85 billion, with
corresponding implied reorganization equity value of
approximately $1.2 billion.  In total, 59.75 million common
shares will be issued and allocated upon emergence, exclusive of
an anticipated management incentive plan to be approved as part
of the revised plan of reorganization.

An Oct. 19, 2007 hearing has been set at which the court will be
asked to approve the disclosure statement.  Once approved, the
disclosure statement will be sent to Solutia's creditors and
equity interest holders to solicit approval of the plan.  The
solicitation period will run for 30 days from the mailing of the
solicitation materials.  Following the solicitation period, the
court will hold a hearing to confirm the plan, after which
Solutia will emerge from Chapter 11.

TELENET BIDCO: Fitch Rates EUR2.3 Billion Senior Loan at BB
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned Belgium-based Telenet BidCo NV's new
EUR2.3 billion senior secured bank facility a rating of 'BB'.

Fitch has withdrawn the ratings of the existing EUR1 billion
bank facility ('BB+'), Telenet Communications NV's senior notes
('BB'), and Telenet Group Holding NV's senior discount notes
('B+') following the repayment and cancellation of the existing
bank facility and the redemption of the bonds on Oct. 10, 2007.

Telenet's new bank facility is structured as:

   -- EUR530 million five year term loan A;

   -- EUR532.5 million six and a half year (6 year average life)
      term loan B;

   -- EUR1.1 billion eight year term loan C; and

   -- EUR175 million seven year revolving credit facility.

The security package reflects that of the retired facility, and
includes share pledges over key group companies, pledges over
business assets and mortgages over real estate.  Financial
covenants include a maximum incurrence test (Net Total Debt /
Consolidated Annualized EBITDA) of 5x, leverage covenant (Net
Total Debt / Consolidated Annualized EBITDA) of 6.25x, falling
to 6.0x in 2010 and minimum Consolidated EBITDA / Total Cash
Interest of 2.1x.

The rating of the new bank facilities is one notch lower ('BB')
than that of the bank facility being replaced ('BB+').  This
compression (relative to Telenet's Long-term Issuer Default
rating of 'BB-') reflects the higher leverage multiple the
company has now indicated it will run its business at, along
with the fact that, once the refinancing and capital
distribution are complete, the company will be funded largely
with senior bank debt.

As at year ending 2006, Telenet had senior leverage (senior
debt/EBITDA) of approximately 1.9x and total leverage of 3.8x.
Fitch estimates at present that the company will end 2007 with
leverage in the range of 4.7-4.8x, which, but for a small amount
of finance leases and accrued fees relating to the use of its
Partner network, will reflect drawings under the new bank
facility.  The company has recently indicated it will maintain
leverage at up to 5x.

Telenet is the cable operator in the Flanders region in Belgium.
It has approximately 1.7 million unique customers accessed
through its own two-way capable cable network, and provides
coverage to a further 800,000 homes through the
Interkabel/Partner network (with which Telenet has a 50 year
service contract).  In the six months to June 2007, the company
generated EBITDA of EUR217.9 million (up by 19% year-on-year) on
sales of EUR456.7 million (up 15% year-on-year) - reflecting a
margin of 48%.

Telenet's Long-term IDR is 'BB-' with Stable Outlook.

EDITIS HOLDING: Moody's Lifts Corporate Family Rating to Ba3
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded to Ba3 from B1 the corporate
family rating of Editis Holding S.A.

This corporate Family rating has been re-assigned from Odyssee 1
S.A.S.  The outlook for the ratings is stable.

The rating upgrade reflects:

   (i) the company's improved operating efficiency with a margin
       based on reported operating income before other operating
       items excluding impact of goodwill of 10.6% for FY06 up
       from 9.3% in FY05 despite the transfer of the Larousse
       activity;

  (ii) the company's substantial de-leveraging with leverage
       down to 4.8 times on a debt to Ebitda basis from 5.2
       times in fiscal year 2005 and around 6.3 times on a net
       basis at the time of the initial rating assignment; and

(iii) the successful integration of recent acquisitions such as
       publishers Cherche Midi, First and XO.

The Ba3 corporate family rating also reflects the likelihood
that the company could consider larger acquisitions in the
fragmented French publishing market in the medium-term, although
near-term the credit facilities' covenants afford some
protection.  The ratings further reflect the relatively high
level of seasonality in Editis' business with approximately 80%
of its EBITDA generated in the second half and some concern that
the company might have to step up its so far limited investment
in electronic product development over time.

Editis' Ba3 Corporate Family Rating factors the company's
leading market positions with well known established brands and
the stability of the French publishing market, which enjoys the
highest per capita book consumption in Europe as well as
relative pricing stability for end-consumers.

Editis' broad sales base and diversity of earnings from an
approximately equal spread between its three main segments:
literature, education and sales and distribution despite a
limited geographical distribution in terms of sales, is viewed
by Moody's as a credit positive.  The relatively high barriers
to entry for new (foreign) entrants due to the French language
and cultural barriers, and Interforum Editis' strong sales and
distribution platform are also reflected in the rating.

Moody's expects that the company's main focus will be on organic
growth and that the company's free cash flows generated will be
used primarily for debt reduction in line with stated strategy.
The rating is strongly positioned within the Ba3 rating
category. Headroom exists within this rating for the company to
consider small bolt-on acquisitions, however any substantial
debt funded acquisitions could put downward pressure on the
rating.

Headquartered in Paris, France, Editis is the second largest
publisher in France.  For the financial year to Dec. 31, 2006,
Editis reported net revenues of EUR755 million.

CHRYSLER LLC: Council Approves New Contract Ratification
--------------------------------------------------------
The UAW Chrysler Council, which includes local union leaders
from Chrysler facilities throughout the United States, voted
overwhelmingly to recommend ratification of a new tentative
labor agreement with Chrysler reached on Oct. 10, 2007.  Local
union leaders voted to recommend ratification by UAW members
after meeting yesterday, Oct. 15, 2007, at Cobo Center in
Detroit, Michigan, where they were briefed on details of the
proposed new contract.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 11, 2007,
the tentative agreement includes a memorandum of understanding
to establish an independent retiree health care trust, as well
as other changes to the national agreement.  Following
ratification, implementation of the memorandum of understanding
is subject to approval by the courts and satisfactory review of
accounting treatment with the Securities Exchange Commission.

The national agreement is consistent with the economic pattern,
and balances the needs of its employees and company by providing
a framework to improve its long-term manufacturing
competitiveness.

“The UAW negotiating committees at Chrysler, both hourly and
salaried, did an excellent job bargaining this agreement and we
look forward to discussing it with our members in explanation
and ratification meetings which will begin this week,” UAW
President Ron Gettelfinger said.  “Thanks to the determination
of Chrysler workers, we have moved forward on our agenda to
protect manufacturing jobs in our communities -- and we have
also protected wages, health care and pensions for active and
retired workers.”

“This proposed agreement meets the challenges of our industry
head-on,“ UAW Vice President General Holiefield, who heads the
UAW Chrysler dept, said.  “It sets the stage for future success
at Chrysler, and for our members to share in that success.”

The UAW represents over 48,000 active workers and 78,000
retirees and surviving spouses at Chrysler.

On Oct. 1, 2007, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its
corporate credit ratings on Chrysler LLC and DaimlerChrysler
Financial Services Americas LLC on CreditWatch with positive
implications.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Aug. 8, 2007,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its loan and recovery
ratings on Chrysler LLC's (B/Negative/--) $10 billion senior
secured first-lien term loan facility due 2013, following
various changes to terms and conditions prior to closing.  The
$10 billion first-lien term loan now consists of a $5 billion
"first-out" tranche and a $5 billion "second-out" tranche, so
the aggregate amount of first-lien debt remains unchanged.

Accordingly, S&P assigned a 'BB-' rating to the $5 billion
"first-out" first-lien term loan tranche.  This rating, two
notches above the corporate credit rating of 'B' on Chrysler
LLC, and the '1' recovery rating indicate S&P's expectation for
very high recovery in the event of payment default.  S&P also
assigned a 'B' rating to the $5 billion "second-out" first-lien
term loan tranche.  This rating, the same as the corporate
credit rating, and the '3' recovery rating indicate S&P's
expectation for a meaningful recovery in the event of payment
default.

Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Chrysler Automotive LLC's
B3 Corporate Family Rating, and the Caa1 rating of the company's
$2 billion senior secured, second lien term loan in connection
with Monday's closing of DaimlerChrysler AG's sale of a majority
interest of Chrysler Group to Cerberus Capital Management LLC.

COMMSCOPE: Moody's Cuts Rating to Ba3 Pending Andrew Acquisition
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service concluded its review of CommScope,
Inc. and downgraded the company's corporate family rating to Ba3
from Ba2 pending the company's debt financed acquisition of
Andrew Corp.

Additionally, Moody's downgraded the company's US$250 million
convertible subordinated debentures to B2 from Ba3.  The
acquisition will be financed by US$2.55 billion of senior
secured credit facilities to which Moody's has assigned Ba3
ratings.  The outlook is stable.

Moody's placed CommScope under review for downgrade on June 27,
2007 after the company's announcement of their intent to acquire
Andrew Corporation for US$2.6 billion.  The acquisition has been
approved by both company's boards but is still conditioned on
Andrew shareholder and regulatory approvals.

These ratings were downgraded:

   -- Corporate Family Rating -- to Ba3 from Ba2;

   -- Probability of Default Rating -- to Ba3 from Ba2;

   -- US$250 million Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures
      due 2024 -- to B2, LGD6 (95%) from Ba3, LGD5 (73%).

These new ratings were assigned:

   -- US$250 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
      due 2013 -- Ba3, LGD3 (45%);

   -- US$2.3 billion Senior Secured Term Loan due 2014 -- Ba3,
      LGD3 (45%).

The company's Ba3 rating reflects the relatively high pro forma
leverage upon closing the acquisition, the risks associated with
integrating two companies roughly equal in size and the
cyclicality of the cable, telecommunications, and enterprise
connectivity markets.  The leverage and integration challenges
are reflective of a B1 rating however they are offset by the
strength of CommScope's and Andrew's respective market leading
positions, the diversity of the combined product portfolio,
management's track record of successful large integrations and
the potential synergies associated with the Andrew acquisition.
The ratings are however considered on the weaker end of the Ba3
ratings category.

The closing pro forma debt to EBITDA as adjusted by Moody's is
expected to be just under 5.0x, a level more common in B1 rated
component manufacturers.  The company is expected to de-lever
fairly quickly however through a combination of asset sales of
non-strategic assets and estimates of up to US$100 million in
annual cost savings from consolidating manufacturing and
distribution facilities and reducing duplicate operations.
Moody's also notes that Commscope's US$250 million in
convertible debt is heavily "in the money" and will likely
convert to equity in the next 18 months.  Moody's notes
management's past success in integrating the 2004 acquisition of
Avaya's Connectivity Solutions business and track record of
reducing leverage.  Moody's believes the company is capable of
reducing leverage to below 4.0x by the end of fiscal 2008.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the company
will successfully integrate the Andrew acquisition and quickly
focus on improving cash flow and reducing debt.

The ratings could be positively impacted by success in
integrating Andrew and achieving synergy targets, continued
growth in revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow and reducing
leverage to below 3.5x.

CommScope's ratings may be negatively impacted by unexpected
challenges associated with the Andrew acquisition, greater than
expected increases in material costs, a severe downturn in
customer spending across segments, or an additional large debt
financed acquisition, share repurchase or dividend.

CommScope is a provider of cable and connectivity solutions for
enterprise, cable, and telecom industries.  The Company is
headquartered in Hickory, North Carolina.  CommScope has
facilities in Brazil, Australia, China and Ireland.

DANA CORP: Amends Centerbridge Capital Investment Agreement
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dana Corporation has entered into an amendment to an investment
agreement it reached with Centerbridge Capital Partners L.P., on
July 26, 2007.  Dana's board of directors has rejected an
alternative investment offer submitted by Appaloosa Management
L.P.

The original terms of the Centerbridge investment agreement
provided, for an affiliate of Centerbridge to purchase
US$250 million in convertible preferred shares of reorganized
Dana (Series A), and for qualified supporting creditors to have
an opportunity to purchase US$500 million in convertible
preferred shares (Series B) on a pro rata basis.

Centerbridge had agreed to purchase up to US$250 million of any
Series B shares that were not purchased by the creditors.

Among the amendments to the Centerbridge agreement are:

   -- A commitment by Centerbridge to fully underwrite the
      purchase of the US$500 million of Series B shares of
      reorganized Dana, an increase from the US$250 million that
      Centerbridge had agreed to underwrite.

   -- Centerbridge's consent to an amendment to Dana's proposed
      plan of reorganization to provide for a cash payment of
      up to US$40 million to certain general unsecured creditors
      who are not eligible to purchase Series B shares because
      their individual claims are less than US$25 million or
      they are not "qualified institutional investors" as
      defined in U.S. securities laws.

   -- Dana's agreement not to solicit or entertain any proposal
      for an investment, transaction, or plan of reorganization
      that would be an alternative to the Centerbridge
      investment and the elimination of Dana's right to
      terminate the Centerbridge investment agreement to accept
      any alternative investment or transaction proposal.

The amendment, which is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York, where the company's
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding is pending, is required to be
approved by Nov. 15, 2007.

                  Appaloosa Management Proposal

In conjunction with the Bankruptcy Court's established
procedures for qualified potential investors interested in
exploring alternative proposals to the Centerbridge investment,
Appaloosa delivered an offer for an alternative investment to
Dana and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on
Sept. 21, 2007.

As contemplated by the alternative proposal procedures, Dana's
board of directors reviewed and considered Appaloosa's offer.
After discussions among the parties and the various bankruptcy
constituents, Dana's board rejected Appaloosa's offer.

IMAX CORPORATION: Catalyst Fund Withdraws New York Lawsuit
----------------------------------------------------------
IMAX Corporation last Thursday reported that Catalyst Fund
Limited Partnership II has withdrawn the lawsuit it filed
against IMAX in the New York State Supreme Court.

Catalyst was seeking to invalidate the consents the company
successfully received from a majority of its bondholders on
April 16, 2007 extending the deadline to file the company's
annual and other reports and waiving any existing defaults
arising from a failure to comply with the reporting covenant
under the indenture governing the Company's senior notes.

IMAX viewed the suit as entirely without merit and immediately
moved to dismiss the complaint when it was filed on May 10,
2007.  Catalyst then asked the Court for permission to withdraw
the suit, which was granted on Oct. 9, 2007.  In September,
Catalyst filed an application with the Superior Court for the
Province of Ontario to litigate substantially the same matter in
Canada.

IMAX is contesting that application as well, and similarly views
it to be without merit.

Catalyst unsuccessfully opposed the company's consent
solicitation and unsuccessfully attempted to trigger an event of
default under the company's senior notes indenture on numerous
occasions.  Most recently, Catalyst issued a purported notice of
default dated
Oct. 10, 2007.  The company believes it is in compliance with
the senior notes indenture and that Catalyst's claims are
without merit.

EVRAZ GROUP: Merging Units to Focus on Local Demand
---------------------------------------------------
Evraz Group S.A. wants its to-be-merged coking coal units to
concentrate on the domestic market, the Mining Journal reports
citing Chief Financial Officer Pavel Tatyanin.

Mr. Tatyanin told the Mining Journal that OAO Raspadskaya and
OAO Yuzhkuzbassugol will first tap the demand in Russia and
Ukraine and become the "dominant player in the region," adding
that the markets in China, Japan and South Korea are "less
promising."

Evraz is merging the units after fatal accidents occurred in
mines managed by Yuzhkuzbassugol.  Mr. Tatyanin, however, said
the merger may not be completed this year, the report says.

Yuzhkuzbassugol recently restarted operations at the Ulyanovsk
mine and will resume mining at its Yubileinaya site by the end
of October, the Mining Journal relates citing Evraz chief
executive Alexander Frolov.

According to the Mining Journal, the merger will be the world`s
third-largest coking coal producer.

DALSVYAZ OAO: Fitch Upgrades IDR to B+ on Financial Improvements
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded OAO Dalsvyaz's Long-term Issuer
Default rating to 'B+' from 'B'.  The Outlook for the Long-term
IDR remains Stable. Fitch has also affirmed Dalsvyaz's Short-
term IDR at 'B'.

"The upgrade reflects various operating and financial
improvements in the company," says Nikolay Lukashevich, Director
with Fitch's TMT team.  "Although Dasvyaz remains significantly
smaller than its peers, it is facing slightly better growth
prospects.  Also, its leverage is lower and cash flow generation
is stronger."

However, there remains uncertainty regarding whether the
achieved improvements are sustainable in the long-run due to
Dalsvyaz's obligation to service a huge territory with a low
population density.

The ratings reflect the company's strong market position as the
incumbent provider of fixed-line telephony services in the
eastern-most region of Russia.  Dalsvyaz has the most developed
backbone network and last-mile infrastructure in the region, and
continues to dominate in the major segments of local and zonal
telephony, and long-distance interconnect.  Fitch acknowledges
that the company's client base is well diversified, and that
cash flow is stable and visible. Competition is limited due to a
lack of alternative infrastructure.

The company's competitive positions are exceptionally strong in
the residential segment, while its intense efforts to win back
corporate accounts should increase its share of the business
segment.  The regional fixed-line market is close to saturation
and is likely to post moderate net disconnections in the near
future on the back of mobile substitution and population
outflow. The traditional revenues will, nevertheless, be
supported by gradual tariff increases, likely to be below
inflation.

The company has benefited from benign regulatory changes,
introduced in February 2007, that effectively removed tariff
caps, allowed for better customer segmentation and helped to
notably improve profitability of local service.  Furthermore,
the introduction of the calling-party-pays rule in July 2006
brought in additional revenues.  Dalsvyaz has realized
considerable cost savings, and further efficiency improvements
are planned which should help to defend and increase its
margins.  The company has demonstrated a strong improvement in
its financial performance, catching up and beating most of its
domestic peers.  This achievement should be credited to the
company's management team, which Fitch views as professional and
efficient. Data revenue, mostly internet-related, is rapidly
growing on the back of a rapidly increasing ADSL subscriber base
and, with a 15.4% share of the total, is starting to provide
material diversification away from traditional voice segments.

The company is a clear leader in the broadband segment, with
estimated market share of 85%, which is likely to grow as it is
building more broadband capacity that its rivals together.
Although Dalsvyaz is under regulatory pressure to accelerate
fixed-network modernization capex, it is facing a lower over-
investment risk than its peers, reflective of its higher than
average last-mile digitalization rate (69% at end-2006).
Consolidation of Sakhatelecom, acquired by Dalsvyaz at end-2006,
seems to be well on track with management's targets to turn
around financial performance of this subsidiary.

The company's leverage is not excessive (1.8x of ND/EBITDA at
end-2006) and is projected to improve at end-2007; in the long-
run it is likely to be capped at 2x.  Dalsvyaz significantly
improved its debt maturity profile over the 18 months to first
half of 2007, with the proportion of short-term debt declining
to 28% from 60% at end-2005.

The ratings also reflect the influence of the company's majority
shareholder, Svyazinvest, on strategic decision-making, and its
potential lobbying support.

scale rating.  Moscow-based Moody's Interfax is majority-owned
by Moody's, a leading global rating agency.

According to Moody's, the change in RSB's rating outlook was
prompted by its weakened liquidity position, reflected in the
bank's increased vulnerability to capital market sentiment as a
result of the recent credit crunch and the depletion of a
significant amount of liquid assets in third quarter 2007
following the repayment of its maturing market borrowings.

Moody's recognizes that, although RSB reported very strong
positive liquidity gaps for short-term maturity periods as of
end-1H 2007, most of the loans with a short-term maturity are
credit card and point-of-sale loan repayments, with borrowers
able to reuse the cards within already approved limits once the
repayments have been made.  Although RSB can cancel limits or
demand repayment in full to support its liquidity position, such
decision would, in Moody's view, be likely to have a negative
impact on the bank's business franchise.

Furthermore, RSB recently announced that it would cease charging
a number of commissions and fees for its consumer loans, which,
in Moody's opinion, places pressure on the bank's profitability
and internal cash-generating capacity.  In 2H 2007 RSB
implemented stricter origination procedures which, according to
the bank, will partly offset the tightening in interest margins
through a decrease in credit costs.  However, while RSB's
profitability is likely to decline significantly going forward,
it is still expected to be strong relative to the bank's Russian
peers thanks to its extensive customer base in the Russian
consumer finance segment, relatively high margins and overall
efficient management.

Moody's also cautions that, in the event that RSB has limited
access to international credit markets for a prolonged period,
this could negatively affect its loan expansion and consequently
erode the bank's franchise value.

The rating agency will continue to monitor RSB's
creditworthiness closely and take appropriate rating actions
based on further developments.  An inability to attract
relatively long-term and more diversified funding to enhance its
liquidity position and maintain its currently strong franchise
could increase the negative pressure on RSB's creditworthiness
and result in a downgrade of its ratings.

Conversely, improved liquidity and a more diversified funding
structure could, if coupled with sustainable and strong earnings
generated under new lending conditions, improve the bank's
credit quality and result in Moody's changing the rating outlook
back to stable.

Headquartered in Moscow, Russian Standard Bank reported total
IFRS consolidated assets of US$7.9 billion and net income of
US$395 million as of end-1H 2007.

COLLINS & AIKMAN: Closes Sale of Soft Trim Division to IAC NA
-------------------------------------------------------------
Collins & Aikman Corp. completed the sale of its soft trim
division to International Automotive Components Group North
America.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 23, 2007,
C&A signed an asset purchase agreement with IAC NA for the sale
of its North American automotive flooring and acoustic
components business.  The Agreement provides for aggregate
consideration to the company of $134 million in cash, plus
certain contingent consideration and certain assumed

Company's senior, secured prepetition lenders to invest in IAC
NA's parent company up to an aggregate cap of 25% of IAC NA's

as we move forward to further improve our business."

The acquisition of C&A's soft trim division includes sixteen
facilities in North America that manufacture carpeting, molded
flooring products, dash insulators and other related interior
components.  Additionally, the acquisition includes a noise,

FORD MOTOR: Names Jim Farley VP of Marketing & Communications
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ford Motor Company President and Chief Executive Officer Alan
Mulally has named Jim Farley as Group Vice President of
Marketing and Communications.

Beginning in mid-November 2007, Mr. Farley, will lead Ford's
drive to connect even more closely with customers through
integrated global marketing, advertising, digital
communications, brand development, product planning, research,
product communications and public relations.  The Chief
Marketing Office and global Communications staffs report to Mr.
Farley.

"We are thrilled to welcome one of the most successful and
talented leaders in the industry to the Ford Motor Company
team," Mr. Mulally said.  "Jim Farley is well known for
innovative marketing strategies that connect great products to
today's and tomorrow's customers.  Ford's quality and vehicles
are now on par with the best of the competition.  We look
forward to Jim's leadership to combine world-class marketing
with our world-class products worldwide."

Mr. Farley will be the company's most senior marketing leader
and will report directly to Mr. Mulally.

Mr. Farley said he is passionate about joining Ford in this
global leadership role and is eager to help lead the company's
transformation plan toward automotive leadership and profitable
growth.

"My connection with Ford goes way back to my first car, a 1966
Ford Mustang.  I bought it when I was 15, restored it and drove
it from California to Michigan.  I am excited to make that trip
once again," Mr. Farley said.  "Ford is one of the world's most
admired companies because of its ability to develop iconic
products that connect with customers.  I look forward to
building on that strength by engaging customers and introducing
even more of them to the great family of Ford."

Prior to joining Ford, Mr. Farley was Group Vice President and
General Manager of Lexus, responsible for all sales, marketing
and customer satisfaction activities for Toyota's luxury brand.
Before leading Lexus, Mr. Farley served as group vice president
of Toyota Division marketing and was responsible for all Toyota
Division market planning, advertising, merchandising, sales
promotion, incentives and Internet activities.  Mr. Farley
joined Toyota in 1990 in the strategic-planning department.  He
served in several product and marketing positions, including
Lexus product planner, manager of Toyota truck product planning,
manager of the Toyota truck series team marketing and national
advertising manager.  He also was general manager of product
management for Toyota Europe.

One of Mr. Farley's most noted accomplishments is his
responsibility for the successful launch and rollout of Toyota's
new Scion brand.  As Scion corporate manager, Mr. Farley focused
on product development, sales planning, customer services,
logistics and distribution.  He later was promoted to vice
president of Scion and was responsible for all Scion activities.

Mr. Farley attended Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,
where he earned a bachelor's degree in economics and computer
science, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),
where he completed his MBA with a focus in finance.

Mr. Farley and his wife, Lia, and their two children will be
moving to the Detroit area.

                        *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on July 30, 2007,
Moody's Investors Service said that the performance of Ford
Motor Company's global automotive operations for the second
quarter of 2007 was significantly stronger than the previous
year and better than street expectations.

However, Moody's explained that the company continues to face
significant competitive and financial challenges, and the rating
agency expects that Ford's credit metrics and rate of cash
consumption will likely remain consistent with no higher than a
B3 corporate family rating level into 2008.

According to the rating agency, Ford's corporate family rating
is currently a B3 with a negative outlook.  The rating is
pressured by the shift in consumer preference from high margin
trucks and SUVs, and by the need for a new 2007 UAW contract
that provides meaningful relief from high health care costs and
burdensome work rules, Moody's relates.

In June 2007, S&P raised the Issue Rating on Ford's senior
secured credit facilities to B+ from B.

GM-UAW Labor Agreement, addresses UAW-related retiree health
care obligations totaling $46.7 billion.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 11, 2007,
GM confirmed that its UAW-represented employees have ratified
the GM-UAW 2007 national labor agreement, which GM and the UAW
reached on Sept. 26, 2007, after more than two months of
bargaining.  The new four-year agreement covers approximately
74,000 hourly employees located in more than 80 U.S. facilities.

              2007 Retiree Health Care Overview

GM and the United Auto Workers union agree that responsibility
for retiree health care will permanently shift from GM to a new
retiree plan funded by a new Independent Voluntary Employee
Beneficiary Association or VEBA.

The retiree health care incorporates 2005 Health Care Agreement
and its implementation will be later of Jan. 1, 2010, or date on
which any appeals or challenges to court approval are exhausted.

The agreement ensures UAW may not negotiate to increase GM
funding or otherwise seek to obligate GM to:

   * provide any additional contributions to the Independent
     VEBA;

   * make any other payments for the purpose of providing
     retiree medical benefits;

   * provide retiree medical benefits through any other means.

New retiree health care agreement and VEBA will cover:

   * All retirees as of Sept. 14, 2007;

   * Active UAW-represented employees with seniority as of
     Sept. 14, 2007;

   * UAW Delphi retirees and actives covered under GM-UAW-
     Delphi restructuring plan (approximately 12,000 people);

   * UAW retirees and actives of closed or divested GM-UAW
     business units (to the extent GM has responsibility for
     their health care);

   * New hires not included in Independent VEBA and not offered
     defined benefit postretirement health care;

   * GM and UAW agreed on funding Independent VEBA based on
     various key assumptions;

     -- Asset returns of 9% annually, with risk borne by VEBA

     -- Ultimate health care trend rate of 5% annually, with
        risk borne by VEBA

     -- Incorporation of 2005 Health Care Agreement wage/COLA
        diversions

     -- Standard actuarial assumptions

GM's financial summary of the new agreement includes:

   * belief that the new labor agreement significantly reduces
     GM’s manufacturing cost gap to competitors;

   * current VEBA and well-funded pension plan provide
     flexibility to fulfill obligations within contract;

   * independent VEBA transfers responsibility and risk
     associated with future UAW retiree health care costs away
     from GM starting in 2010;

   * new contract and labor demographics provide opportunity
     for significant, operating-related, positive cash flow and
     earnings;

     -– will work with UAW leadership to determine appropriate
        ways to implement sourcing agreements and transition
        non-core portion of workforce.

NORTHERN ROCK: Virgin Group Consortium Prepares Bid
---------------------------------------------------
An international group of investors led by Richard Branson's
Virgin Group Ltd. have joined the growing list of bidders for
troubled mortgage bank Northern Rock PLC, one of the latest
victims of the credit market crisis, the Wall Street Journal
reports.

Mr. Branson said the consortium's plan includes incorporating
Northern Rock into Virgin Money, his group's financial unit, as
well as changing the mortgage lender's name to Virgin Money, WSJ
states.

Virgin Group has lined up insurance giant American International
Group Inc. and U.S.-based turnaround specialist WL Ross & Co.,
an investment firm run by Wilbur Ross to be part of the
consortium, WSJ relates.  British hedge fund Toscafund Asset
Management LLP, run by former Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC
executives, and First Eastern Investment Group, of Hong Kong,
are also joining the pool of investors.

The Financial Times reveals that a Middle Eastern sovereign
wealth fund has also expressed interest in joining the Virgin
Group consortium, which may submit a bid for Northern Rock as
early as this week.

Mr. Branson recently disclosed in a television interview that
his proposal would include new funding to stabilize the bank,
paying back all the funding provided by the Bank of England, and
assuring almost all of Northern Rock employees' jobs, WSJ notes.

CreditWatch with developing implications.  At the same time, the

developing implications.


RANK GROUP: Retail Business Revenue Drops on Smoking Ban
--------------------------------------------------------
Rank Group plc provides trading update for the 40 weeks to
Oct. 7, 2007.

Rank Group has achieved a 2% like-for-like growth in continuing
group revenues for the 40 weeks to Oct. 7, 2007.  Total sales
for the continuing group are 1% below the comparable period in
2006.

However, after an encouraging start to the second half of the
year, the group's U.K. retail businesses, Mecca Bingo and
Grosvenor Casinos, have experienced a significant deterioration
in revenue in recent weeks.  This is largely attributable to a
combination of the loss of Section 21 gaming terminals (as
required by the Gambling Act 2005 from Sept. 1, 2007) and the
bans on smoking in enclosed public places, which have been in
effect across the whole of the U.K. since July 1, 2007.

While the recent trading difficulties affecting the group's U.K.
retail businesses are worse than it had anticipated, the group
understands that they are shared by the broader U.K. bingo club
and casino markets and are not unique to Rank.

The group's interactive business, Blue Square continued to
deliver impressive growth while its Spanish bingo clubs
business, Top Rank Espana performed well.

Segmental and group revenue for 40 weeks to 7 October 2007

              Like-for-like revenue
             (adjusted for club openings,
              closures & relocations)       Total revenue
              ----------------------        -------------

   Mecca Bingo           (2)%                    (5)%
   Top Rank Espana        8%                      8%
   Grosvenor Casinos      0%                     (3)%
   Blue Square           38%                      38%
   Group                  2%                      (1)%


                           Mecca Bingo

Having delivered an encouraging start to the second half of the
year, the group's U.K. bingo clubs were subsequently impacted by
the loss of the highly popular Section 21 gaming terminals.
This compounded the negative effects of bans on smoking in
enclosed public spaces, leading to a significant deterioration
in revenue from Sept. 1, 2007.

In the five weeks following the removal of Rank's Section 21
terminals, Mecca Bingo like-for-like revenue declined by 19%
across the U.K. with admissions down by 13% and spend per head
down by 7%.  Revenue in England and Wales fell by 22%, while
in Scotland (where the smoking ban was introduced in March 2006)
it was 6% lower than in the comparable period in 2006.

Rank's focus remains the protection of revenue in the light of
recent changes in legislation, adapting its clubs, its products
and its service to improve the customer experience.

Rank has now gained licensing approval for outside gaming areas
at 28 of its clubs and 14 of these are now in operation.  In
addition the group has extended handheld electronic bingo to 78
of its clubs.  Notwithstanding the recent negative trading, both
of these initiatives have made valuable contributions to their
club revenues.  The group continues to explore opportunities to
develop improved gaming and non-gaming products in its bingo
clubs.

                       Top Rank Espana

Revenue from Spanish bingo clubs business, Top Rank Espana, had
grown by 8% in the 40 week period.  Spend per head was ahead by
10%, off-setting a 1% decline in admissions.

                        Grosvenor Casinos

In the 40 week period since the start of the financial year
like-for-like revenue has been in line with the comparable
period last year, with a marginal increase in spend per head
offsetting a 1% decline in admissions.

During the last five weeks, revenue was down 9% with admissions
1% lower and spend per head down by 8%.  The fall in spend per
head is attributable largely to the effects of the smoking ban
on customer dwell times, which has reduced win from table and
machine gaming.  In addition, the requirement to remove Section
21 gaming terminals has had an impact in some casinos.

Towards the end of September 2007, Rank commenced the first
advertising campaign for its U.K. casinos, targeting new
customers principally through local and regional press and radio
advertising.

Also in September the group gained a license to operate a casino
in Edinburgh.  In total Rank has gained ten new casino licenses
over the past three years, providing the group with significant
opportunity to add scale and widen distribution.

                           Blue Square

Rank's interactive business, Blue Square, has maintained a
strong rate of growth.  For the first 40 weeks of the financial
year revenue is 38% ahead of the comparable period in 2006, with
an exceptionally strong performance from the group's gaming
products.  Revenue growth from its online bingo and games brand,
Meccabingo.com has been particularly impressive.

                           Outlook

The coincidence of a number of external factors has resulted in
a period of volatility and a lack of visibility unprecedented in
the U.K. gaming industry.  Should the disappointing levels of
recent weeks' trading continue through to the end of the year
(and given the relatively high level of fixed costs within
Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casinos) group operating profit for
the full year would be significantly lower than in 2006.

The board remains committed to its strategy of developing modern
leisure-based businesses to benefit from the growing popularity
of gaming activities.  The group will continue to take vigorous
action to meet the immediate challenges facing its businesses
while retaining its focus on the long term growth opportunities
for Rank.

Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Rank Group PLC --
http://www.rank.com/-- is an international leisure and
entertainment company.  The Group provides services to the film
industry, including film processing, video duplication and
cinema exhibition.  The Group's leisure and entertainment
activities entail gambling services, encompassing Mecca Bingo
Clubs and Grosvenor Casinos, and owned and franchises Hard Rock
cafes.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on April 24, 2007, Moody's
Investors Service downgraded to B2 (from Ba3) the debt ratings
of the US$100-million guaranteed notes due 2008 and US$14.3-
million guaranteed notes due 2018 at Rank Group Finance Plc.

According to the Loss Given Default methodology, Moody's has
also assigned:

   -- a probability of default rating of Ba3 to the corporate
      family; and

   -- an LGD assessment of LGD5 and an LGD rate of 84% to the
      2008 and 2018 notes.

The Ba3 corporate family rating and Negative outlook are not
affected.

Affected ratings are as follows:

   -- A probability of default rating of Ba3 has been assigned
      to Rank.

   -- The rating on the US$100 million Guaranteed notes due
      2008 at Rank Group Finance (guaranteed by Rank) downgraded
      to B2 from Ba3.  An LGD5 and 84% LGD rate has been
      assigned.

   -- The rating on the US$14.3 million Guaranteed notes due
      2018 at Rank Group Finance (guaranteed by Rank) downgraded
      to B2 from Ba3.  An LGD5 and 84% LGD rate has been
      assigned.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
outlook on U.K.-based gaming company The Rank Group PLC to
negative from stable.  At the same time, the 'BB-' long-term and
'B' short-term corporate credit ratings were affirmed.

In December 2006, Fitch Ratings affirmed The Rank Group Plc's
Issuer Default ratings at B+ with Negative Outlook, senior
unsecured rating at B+ and Short-term rating at B.  The ratings
are simultaneously withdrawn.


REMY INT'L: Bankruptcy Filing Cues Moody's to Withdraw Ratings
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has lowered the Probability of Default
Ratings of Remy International, Inc. to D from C/LD, and affirmed
the Corporate Family Rating at Ca, the second-priority senior
secured floating rate notes at B3, the senior unsecured notes at
Ca; and the senior subordinated notes at C.  The Probability of
Default rating of D reflects the filing for Chapter 11
protection by Remy pursuant to it previously announced
prepackaged plan of reorganization which was supported by the
company's unsecured noteholders.

Subsequent to Remy's Chapter 11 filing, Moody's will withdraw
the ratings of Remy International, Inc.

Ratings lowered:

    * Probability of Default Rating, to D from C/LD;

Ratings affirmed:

    * US$125 million of guaranteed second-priority senior
      secured floating rate notes at B3 (LGD2, 12%)

    * US$145 million of 8.625% guaranteed senior unsecured notes
      at Ca (LGD4, 52%);

    * US$150 million of 9.375% guaranteed senior subordinated
      notes at C (LGD6, 99%);

    * US$165 million of 11% guaranteed senior subordinated notes
      at C (LGD6, 99%);

    * Corporate Family Rating, Ca;

The last rating action was on Sept. 28, 2007 when the ratings
were lowered.

The US$80 million senior secured term loan and the senior
secured asset based revolving credit facility are not rated by
Moody's.

Remy International, Inc. is headquartered in Anderson, Indiana.
The company is a leading global manufacturer and remanufacturer
of aftermarket and original equipment electrical components for
automobiles, light trucks, heavy duty trucks and other heavy
duty vehicles.  Remy International is privately owned in the
following approximate percentages by affiliates of Citicorp
Venture Capital (70%); Berkshire Hathaway (20%); and
management/miscellaneous other investors (10%).  Annual revenues
over the last twelve months approximated US$1.1 billion.

Remy has operations in the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Korea.


REMY INTERNATIONAL: S&P Assigns Default Rating on US$125MM Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Remy
International Inc.'s US$200 million first-priority bank loan and
US$125 million second-priority floating notes to 'D' from 'CC'.

"The rating actions follow Remy's announcement that on Oct. 8 it
filed for voluntary bankruptcy proceedings for itself and its
domestic subsidiaries under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code to seek confirmation of its previously announced plan of
reorganization," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Nancy
Messer.  "We expected the Chapter 11 filing because the company
had previously reached an agreement with the majority of its
unsecured debt holders to undertake a capital restructuring
through a prepackaged POR."

Remy is a large manufacturer and remanufacturer of after-market
and original equipment electrical components, primarily starter
motors and alternators.  As a critical part of the
restructuring, Remy successfully renegotiated certain material
commercial agreements to improve margins.


REMY WORLDWIDE: Can Use Cash Collateral for Debt Payment
--------------------------------------------------------
Remy Worldwide Holdings Inc. and its debtor-affiliates obtained
authority of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to use proceeds from a January 2007 asset sale and any
existing funds to pay off US$158 million in prepetition loan
obligations and for working capital purposes.

Prior to Oct. 8, 2007, the Debtors obtained funding under a
Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated
Dec. 27, 2005, with Credit Suisse Cayman Islands Branch,
Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central), and a consortium
of lenders.  The Prepetition Agreement provided for a term loan
facility and a revolving credit facility of up to US$250
million.  The Agreement also provided for the issuance of
letters of credit of up to US$30 million in the aggregate.  The
loan proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

Credit Suisse served as administrative agent for the term loan
lenders.  Wachovia acted as administrative agent for the
revolving loan lenders.

As of Oct. 8, 2007, the Debtors owed the Prepetition Lenders
US$80 million under the Term Loan Facility and US$78 million
under the Revolving Credit Facility, including the Letters of
Credit.

The Prepetition Loan obligations are secured by a first priority
perfected security interests in substantially all of the assets
of certain Debtors.

On Jan. 31, 2007, the Debtors sold their diesel engine
remanufacturing business to Caterpillar for US$158 million.  The
Debtors and Caterpillar also entered into outsourcing
agreements, which are expected to result in additional cash
proceeds of roughly US$14 million in 2007 to the Debtors.

The Debtors have deposited US$53 million of the sale proceeds
into an account for the Prepetition Lenders' benefit.

The remaining obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement
will be satisfied by certain of the proceeds from the Debtors'
postpetition financing agreement with Barclays Capital.
Barclays Bank PLC's investment banking arm has agreed to provide
the Debtors up to US$225 million of DIP financing and US$330
million of long-term exit financing.

               Replacement Liens to FR Noteholders

At the Oct. 10, 2007 hearing on the Debtors' request, the
Honorable Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware also granted certain noteholders a
replacement lien for the Debtors' use of the Caterpillar
proceeds.The Debtors

Douglas P. Bartner, Esq., at Shearman & Sterling LLP, in New
York, related the Debtors' proposed counsel, said in Court
papers that the sale proceeds and any other funds of the Debtors
constitute cash collateral under Section 363(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code of:

   -- the Prepetition Lenders; and

   -- the holders of second priority senior floating rate notes
      due 2009 issued by Remy International, Inc., in the
      aggregate amount of US$125 million.

The Debtors' obligations under the FR Notes are governed by an
April 23, 2004 indenture with Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as trustee, and are secured by perfected security
interests in substantially all of the assets of certain Debtors.

There is substantial overlap between the collateral related to
the Prepetition Loan and the FR Notes, Mr. Bartner said.  The
rights and priorities of the Prepetition Lenders and the FR
Noteholders with respect to the Prepetition Loan Collateral and
the FR Collateral are governed by an intercreditor agreement
dated April 23, 2004.  The Intercreditor Agreement provides that
liens of the Prepetition Lenders are senior to the FR Parties'
liens on the same property.

Mr. Bartner said Credit Suisse, Wachovia, the Prepetition
Lenders and representatives of more than two-thirds in amount of
the FR Noteholders have consented to the limited use by the
Debtors of the Cash Collateral.

In his order, Judge Carey granted Deutsche Bank, on the FR
Noteholders' behalf, a replacement lien on all collateral to the
extent there is a diminution in the value of the FR Prepetition
Collateral.  The FR Noteholders will also receive an
administrative claim pursuant to Section 507(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code to the extent the replacement lien does not
adequately protect any diminution in the value of the FR
Prepetition Collateral.

The Debtors will pay for the legal fees and expenses of the ad
hoc committee of FR Noteholders and the FR Indenture Trustee.
The fees and expenses are not subject to Court or United States
Trustee oversight.

Any interested party may challenge under Section 506(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code any adequate protection payments to the FR
Noteholders.  In the event the payments are not allowed under
Section 506(b), the payments may be recharacterized as payment
of principal on the FR Notes or disgorged, as appropriate.

The Debtors are also authorized to pay the FR Indenture Trustee
in cash all accrued and unpaid interest at the non-default rate
and on the dates set forth in the FR Indenture.

The replacement lien serves as adequate protection to the FR
Noteholders on account of the Debtors' continuing use of the
Noteholders' cash collateral and the priming of th FR Collateral
by the DIP Facility, Mr. Bartner said.

The use of the Deposited Funds to refinance the prepetition debt
will result in savings of interest for the Debtors, Mr. Bartner
said.

                       Other Cash Collateral

The Debtors also obtained permission to use cash collateral --
other than the sale proceeds -- during the period after the
Petition Date until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of
the Debtors' obligations under the Barclays credit facility.
The Debtors will use the Other Cash Collateral to pay salaries,
taxes, goods and materials, and other general corporate and
working capital expenses in the ordinary course of their
businesses.

Absent immediate use of Cash Collateral, the Debtors will be
unable to pay ongoing operational expenses, John H. Weber,
Remy's president, said.

"It is essential that the Debtors immediately stabilize their
operations and resume paying for ordinary, postpetition
operating expenses, as well as the prepetition expenses approved
[for payment by the Court], to minimize the damage occasioned by
their cash flow problems," Mr. Weber said.

                        Challenge Period

Judge Carey gave parties-in-interest the earlier of Dec. 22,
2007, or the effective date of the Debtors' plan of
reorganization to present any challenge to the validity,
perfection, amount and enforceability of the Prepetition
Lenders' and the FR Noteholders' liens.

Mr. Bartner noted that counsel for the parties that have agreed
to support the Plan has already had an extensive opportunity to
investigate the validity, perfection and enforceability of the
Prepetition Lenders' liens, and the Plan Support Parties do not
object to the Debtors' repayment of the prepetition debt.

The Debtors expect to conclude their restructuring cases within
60 days.

                     Final Hearing on Nov. 7

The Court will convene a hearing Nov. 7, 2007, at 10:00 a.m.
to consider approval of the Debtors' request on a final basis.
Objections, if any, to the Debtors' continued use of Cash
Collateral must be filed by Oct. 29, 2007.

REMY WORLDWIDE: Gets Interim Court Nod on US$160MM DIP Financing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Remy Worldwide Holdings Inc. and its debtor-affiliates obtained
interim authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware to borrow up to US$160 million from a
US$225 million postpetition financing facility syndicated by
Barclays Capital.

The Debtors have entered into a US$120 million Secured, Super-
Priority Debtor-in-Possession and Exit Revolver Credit Agreement
dated Oct. 10, 2007, with Barclays Capital as Sole Lead Arranger
and Sole Bookrunner; Barclays Bank PLC as Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent and Lender; Wachovia Capital Finance
Corporation as Co-Collateral Agent and Syndication Agent; and
General Electric Capital Corporation and Wells Fargo Foothill,
LLC as Co-Documentation Agents.  The asset-based revolver
includes a letter of credit sub-facility.

A full-text copy of the Revolver Agreement is available for free
at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?2437

The Debtors have also entered into a US$105 million Senior
Secured Debtor-in-Possession and Exit First Lien Credit
Agreement, dated Oct. 10, 2007, with Barclays Capital as Sole
Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner and Barclays Bank as
Administrative Agent and Lender.

A full-text copy of the First Lien Agreement is available for
free at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?2438

The Debtors have the option to convert the Revolving and the
First Lien Term Loans to Exit Facilities no later than April 10,
2008.  Upon conversion, the First Lien Term Loan may be
increased to US$160 million.

Remy Worldwide Holdings, Inc., will guarantee the payment of
each Debtor's obligations under the DIP Facility.

The Court also authorized the Debtors to execute a separate
US$50 million Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated Oct. 10, 2007,
with Barclays.

A full-text copy of the Second Lien Agreement is available for
free at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?2439

Douglas P. Bartner, Esq., at Shearman & Sterling LLP, in New
York, the Debtors' proposed counsel, said in Court papers that
that the Debtors were unable to obtain DIP financing in the form
of unsecured credit repayable as an administrative expense.  No
third party lender was willing to extend postpetition financing
without receiving senior and priming liens on and security
interests in substantially all of the Debtors' prepetition
assets.

Without sufficient liquidity, the Debtors will be unable to pay
suppliers, employees and other constituencies that are essential
to the orderly operation of their businesses and to confirm
their Plan, according to Mr. Bartner.

The Debtors presented to the Court a proposed budget showing
their cash needs for a six-week period through Nov. 9, 2007.  A
full-text copy of the Interim DIP budget is available for free
at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?243a

Rothschild Inc., the Debtors' financial advisors, contacted
seven lending institutions.  From those institutions, the
Debtors received five initial proposals.  Based on the initial
proposals three institutions were invited to attend management
presentations.

The Debtors accepted the proposal from Barclays because the
structure and pricing of their proposals were the best available
to the Debtors, Mr. Bartner said.

                 Terms of US$225-Mil. DIP Facility

The Debtors will use the loan proceeds to repay in full their
US$158,000,000 prepetition loan obligations as well as to pay
postpetition operating expenses, and to pay other costs and
expenses of administration of the bankruptcy cases.

The DIP Facility will terminate on the earliest of six months
after the date of the Closing Date, the effective date of the
Debtors' plan of reorganization, or the date of termination of
the commitments or acceleration of any outstanding extensions of
credit.  The DIP Facility may be extended by up to six months.

The DIP Revolving Credit Facility will incur interest at, at the
Debtors' option, either the LIBOR Rate or the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin of 2.00% and Applicable
ABR Margin of 1.00%.  Three months after the Closing Date, the
applicable margin for the DIP Revolving Credit Facility will be
determined by a grid based on average excess availability for
the most recent prior month:

                            Applicable   Applicable Facility
     Excess Availability   LIBOR Margin      ABR Margin
     -------------------   ------------  -------------------
     > US$85,000,000             1.75%            0.75%

     < or = US$85,000,000 but    2.00%            1.00%
     > or = US$40,000,000

     < US$40,000,000             2.25%            1.25%

The DIP Term Loan Facility will incur interest at, at the
Debtors' option, either the LIBOR Rate or the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin of 4.50% and Applicable
ABR Margin of 3.50%.

Upon an event of default, the Debtors will pay default interest
and letter of credit fees at 2.00% above the rate otherwise
applicable.

The Debtors' obligations under the DIP Facility are secured by
valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully perfected and
unavoidable first priority senior priming security interests in,
and liens upon, all of the Debtors' domestic assets, and 65% of
all capital stock of all the first-tier material foreign
subsidiaries, including 65% of all capital stock of Remy Auto
Parts Holdings B.V.

The DIP Liens, however, do not include avoidance actions under
Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and any proceeds net of costs
to pursue the avoidance claims.  In addition, the DIP Liens
will:

   -- be subject, in an event of default, to a carve-out for
      payment of bankruptcy professional fees not to exceed
      US$2.5 million in the aggregate; and fees payable to the
      United States Trustee under 28 U.S.C. Section 1930 and to
      the clerk of court; and

   -- take second priority to certain existing liens on the
      Debtors' assets

The Existing Liens exclude any liens:

   1. by the Debtors' prepetition secured lenders;

   2. by the holders of Remy International Inc.'s second
      priority senior floating rate notes due 2009 in an
      aggregate amount of US$125 million;

   3. by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation related to
      the Debtors' Salaried Retirement Plan and Hourly
      Employees Pension Plan;

   4. arising out of or related to an October 1, 2007,
      promissory note for US$7,279,286 made by World Wide
      Automotive, L.L.C. payable to the United States Customs
      and Border Protection.

                        DIP Financing Fees

The Court permitted the Debtors to pay all fees payable pursuant
to the amended and restated fee letter between Barclays and Remy
International dated Aug. 29, 2007.  The Debtors have filed the
fee letter under seal, in light of the confidential commercial
nature of the information in the fee letter.

Specifically, the Debtors will pay to the DIP Lenders:

   -- a DIP Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Fee equal to
      0.375% per annum of the unused portion of the DIP
      Revolving Credit Facility;

   -- a DIP Term Loan Facility Commitment Fee equal to 1% per
      annum on the committed but undrawn portion of the Term
      Loan Facilities from the DIP Facility Closing Date to the
      Exit Facility Closing Date.  The undrawn portion of the
      Term Loan Facilities means US$55,000,000 of the First-Lien
      Term Loan and the entire amount of the Second-Lien Term
      Loan; and

   -- Letter of Credit Fees equal to:

      (i) The Applicable LIBOR Margin then in effect for the
          DIP Revolving Credit Facility, multiplied by

     (ii) the average daily maximum aggregate amount available
          to be drawn under all Letters of Credit.

The Debtors will also pay a fronting fee to the Issuing Bank as
well as certain customary fees.

The Debtros will also pay fees due to Barclays in connection
with arranging and providing the DIP Facility and Exit
Facilities; and underwriting deposit and out-of-pocket expenses
in connection with the costs and expenses incurred by Barclays
in conducting due diligence and documentation.

Barclays may revise the interest rates or prepayment amounts
contained in the DIP Facility and Exit Facilities.

                       Financial Covenants

The DIP Credit Agreements provide for certain financial
covenants which will be tested on a monthly basis until the Exit
Facilities Conversion Date, and thereafter, on a quarterly
basis.

Among others, the Debtors covenant with the DIP Lenders not to
let, at the end of each fiscal month or fiscal quarter as
applicable, EBITDA for the 12-month period then ended below:

                            *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices
are obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources
during the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may
not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing
table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices
reported are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for
actual trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than
US$3 per share in public markets.  At first glance, this list
may look like the definitive compilation of stocks that are
ideal to sell short.  Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example,
reported at historical cost net of depreciation may understate
the true value of a firm's assets.  A company may establish
reserves on its balance sheet for liabilities that may never
materialize.  The prices at which equity securities trade in
public market are determined by more than a balance sheet
solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book
of interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/booksto order any title today.
