ARVINMERITOR INC: S&P Holds BB Rating on US$700M Credit Facility
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that although
ArvinMeritor Inc. amended its credit agreement on Dec. 10, 2007,
the issue-level rating on its US$700 million revolving credit
facility due 2011 remains unchanged at 'BB' (two notches higher
than the corporate credit rating), and the recovery rating on
this debt remains '1', indicating an expectation of very high
(90%-100%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

The amendments reduced the facility to US$700 million from
US$900 million, incorporated a new financial covenant package,
and modified the pricing schedule.

The corporate credit rating on ArvinMeritor is 'B+', and the
outlook is negative.

"The rating reflects the company's weak profitability, which has
recently kept cash flow negative, along with the cyclical and
competitive pricing pressures of the capital-intensive
automotive and heavy-vehicle component supply industry," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lawrence Orlowski.

Headquartered in Troy, Michigan, ArvinMeritor Inc. (NYSE: ARM)
-- http://www.arvinmeritor.com/-- supplies integrated systems,
modules and components to the motor vehicle industry.  The

marks the successful conclusion of an effort we commenced in
June 2006, when we announced that Navios intended to develop a
South American logistics business."

considered a number of opportunities," Ms. Frangou added. "We
are pleased with the business partnership we have formed with
the Lopez family, the principal shareholders of Horamar. We
believe that by blending our businesses, we will develop the
critical mass necessary for us to become a significant regional
player."

"Since we commenced our review, the underlying business
fundamentals have continued to strengthen," Ms. Frangou
continued.  "We plan to grow the combined business by
capitalizing on the region's growing agricultural and mineral
commodity exports through the significant cost advantage river
transport offers compared to alternatives along with our
proprietary port and related infrastructure."

Navios was represented in this transaction by S. Goldman
Advisors LLC.  The Horamar Group was represented by Violy & Co.

DELPHI CORP: Deloitte Settles Securities Fraud Claims for US$38M
----------------------------------------------------------------
An agreement in principle has been reached with Delphi Corp.'s
former outside auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP, to settle claims
against the auditing firm for US$38,250,000 in cash.

The announcement of the agreement was made by the law firms of
Grant & Eisenhofer P.A., Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann
LLP, Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP, and Nix, Patterson
& Roach, LLP, who are court-appointed co-lead counsel for the
Lead Plaintiffs in the securities class action litigation
involving Delphi, the U.S. auto parts maker now in Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings.

The case arises out of alleged accounting improprieties at
Delphi that forced the Company, on June 30, 2005, to restate its
financial results for all fiscal periods dating back to 1999 and
to reverse hundreds of millions of dollars in reported earnings
during those periods.

Lead Plaintiffs

     -- Teachers' Retirement System of Oklahoma,
     -- Public Employees' Retirement System of Mississippi,
     -- Raiffeisen Kapitalanlage Gesellschaft m.b.H., and
     -- Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP

were appointed by a federal court in June 2005 to represent a
proposed class of investors who acquired Delphi securities
between March 7, 2000 and March 3, 2005.

The Complaint filed by those institutional Lead Plaintiffs
asserted claims under the federal securities laws against
Delphi, Deloitte, who was Delphi's outside auditor during the
Class Period, certain officers and directors of Delphi, the
banks that underwrote Delphi's offerings of securities, and
certain other entities.

Judge Gerald E. Rosen, the federal judge in the Eastern District
of Michigan before whom the case is pending, appointed a retired
federal judge, Layn R. Phillips, to serve as a Special Master to
conduct settlement discussions. Following an extensive mediation
conducted by Judge Phillips, Deloitte and Lead Plaintiffs
reached an agreement whereby Deloitte will pay to the Class
US$38,250,000 to settle all claims asserted against Deloitte in
the action.

The settlement is one of the larger settlements obtained from an
accounting firm to settle claims of securities fraud. The
settlement is conditioned on approval by Judge Rosen, who will
pass on the settlement after the members of the Class are given
appropriate notice of the settlement and an opportunity to be
heard.

This settlement follows an earlier settlement in the case, also
arising out of a mediation conducted by Judge Phillips, whereby
Lead Plaintiffs obtained a settlement potentially worth at least
US$284 million from Delphi and its insurance carriers and its
former banks to resolve all claims against Delphi and certain
other defendants. That settlement is contingent upon final
approval by Judge Rosen as well as approval of Delphi's plan of
reorganization in Delphi's Chapter 11 proceeding.

lead counsel for Lead Plaintiffs:

DELPHI CORP: Seeks Provisional Allowance of Unreconciled Claims
---------------------------------------------------------------
Delphi Corp. and its debtor-affiliates seek the provisional
allowance or estimation of 1,817 claims solely for purposes of
distributing the Discount Rights provided for the in First
Amended Plan of Reorganization.  The estimated allowed amounts
for the claims aggregate US$414,716,298, but majority of the
claims are estimated at US$0.

The Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed General
Unsecured Claim will receive:

   (i) the number of shares of New Common Stock equal to 77.3%
       of the Face Amount of the Allowed Claim and

  (ii) the entitlement to participate in the Discount Rights
       Offering.

Discount Rights are to be distributed on a pro rata basis to
holders of allowed claims in Class C - General Unsecured Claims
under the Plan.  The Plan provides in pertinent part that "[i]f
a Claim of a Discount Rights Offering Eligible Holder is not
Allowed or otherwise reconciled by the Debtors by the date of
commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, such Claim shall be
temporarily allowed, solely for purposes of participation in the
Discount Rights Offering, in the amount so estimated by the
Bankruptcy Court or agreed to by the holder of the claim and the
Debtors."

John Wm. Butler, Jr., Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, relates that to make a pro rata
distribution of the Discount Rights, it is necessary to estimate
or temporarily allow any claims that have not been allowed,
disallowed, or reconciled prior to the commencement of the
Discount Rights Offering.

Although the vast majority of claims against the Debtors have
been allowed or reconciled, there remain a number of
Unreconciled Claims that will need to be estimated or
provisionally allowed for purposes of making the appropriate
calculations for a pro rata distribution of the Discount Rights,
Mr. Butler tells the Court.

A list of the Unreconciled Claims, and their estimated allowed
amounts is available for free at:

   http://bankrupt.com/misc/Delphi_RightsOffering_Caims.pdf

The list includes certain holders of Supplemental Executive
Retirement Program claims for which the holder has not yet filed
a proof of claim, but for whom the Debtors will schedule an
actuarially determined SERP claim prior to the confirmation
hearing so that these claimants are able to participate in the
Discount Rights Offering.

In particular, several claims that were filed as secured claims
or claims with other priority status, but which the Debtors
assert should be reclassified as general unsecured claims, are
included on the list in the amount of US$0 because as currently
classified they are not entitled to participate in the Discount
Rights Offering under the Plan, Mr. Butler explains.

The Debtors note that, to the extent that the Claimants will
receive contract cure payments in cash, and those amounts are
reconciled prior to the commencement of the Discount Rights
Offering, the amount at which the claimants are entitled to
participate in the Discount Rights Offering will be
correspondingly reduced.

The Debtors also propose that, should the provisional allowance
or estimation results in a particular claimant's receiving more
Discount Rights than the claimant should have received based on
the ultimate allowed amount of the claim and those rights are
transferred or exercised, then, in the Reorganized Debtors' sole
discretion, (a) an amount of New Common Stock equivalent to the
value of the Excess Discount Rights will be withheld from the
ultimate distribution to such claimant or (b) the claimant will
be required to remit payment to the Reorganized Debtors in an
amount equal to the value of the Excess Discount Rights.

The Debtors, in this request, do not seek estimation or
temporary allowance of certain claims which, while filed as
general unsecured claims, will not be entitled to distributions
as general unsecured claims.  These claims include Flow-Through
Claims, which are not impaired under the Plan, and certain other
unsecured claims that will be expunged or otherwise resolved on
or shortly after the Effective Date of the Plan, or that have
been or will be satisfied pursuant to other orders of the Court.

DELPHI CORP: UAW Objects to Management Compensation Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
The International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers of America objects to
confirmation of Delphi Corp. and its debtor-affiliates' Joint
Plan of Reorganization solely based on the Management
Compensation Plan, which was made part of the Plan.

The UAW reserves its right, after taking discovery, to amend,
change or add to the assertions set forth herein, to reflect
facts and evidence discovered.

The proposed MCP includes, among other things, cash and equity
emergence awards to be issued on the Plan's effective date, as
well as other compensation to be paid to executives after the
Effective Date, including a long-term incentive plan that
purports to reserve 8% of Reorganized Delphi's fully diluted new
common stock for annual grants to executives covered by the MCP.

Peter D. DeChiara, Esq., at Cohen, Weiss and Simon LLP, in New
York, avers that among other possible grounds that the UAW may
assert for its objection after taking discovery, the UAW objects
on the ground that Plan, to the extent it contains the
MCP, fails to satisfy Section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 1129(a)(3) provides that a court shall only confirm a
plan if it "has been proposed in good faith and not by any means
forbidden by law."

Mr. DeChiara argues that the MCP is not reasonable and is not
fundamentally fair to the UAW-represented employees who made
enormous sacrifices for the Debtors' reorganization.  In
particular, the MCP, he says, violates the "Equivalence of
Sacrifice" provision of the UAW-Delphi-GM Memorandum of
Understanding, which the Court approved on July 19, 2007.

The UAW finds the MCP in its entirety objectionable, in that the
total compensation that it will provide to the executives
covered by it will make it impossible to conclude that the Plan
is fundamentally fair to the UAW-represented employees or that
the executives have sacrificed in a manner equivalent to the
UAW-represented employees.

UAW intends to focus on these provisions on the MCP -- Short-
Term Incentive Plan, the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the
Chapter 11 Effective Date Executive Payments.  These specific
provisions will make the executives covered by it whole or
substantially whole for any compensation they did not receive
because of the Debtors' Chapter 11 filing, Mr. DeChiara relates.
He notes that the UAW-represented employees, by contrast, have
not been and will not be made whole, but have sacrificed
tremendously for the Debtors' reorganization.

Mr. DeChiara adds that the incentives and payments under the
MCP will leave some or all of the executives above market levels
regarding some or all of their compensation.  "To the extent
some or all of the executives are above market levels as a
result of the MCP, the POR is unfair and violates the
equivalence-of-sacrifice requirement."

UAW filed the Amended Objection to heed to certain demands by
the Debtors.  At a meet-and-confer held on Dec. 19, 2007, the
Debtors told UAW that they would not agree to the discovery
requested by the union, unless it (i) amended its preliminary
objection to reflect that it was an objection to confirmation of
the Plan; and (ii) add allegations on the specific provisions of
the MCP to which the UAW was objecting.

-------------------------------------------------------------
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company reported that T&WA Inc., a
tire mounting business based in Louisville, Ky., has sold
substantially all of its assets to EnovaPremier, LLC.  Goodyear

US$30 million to US$35 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 as

The company said T&WA's exit from the tire and wheel assembly

strategy to focus on its core consumer and commercial tire
businesses.  T&WA is a variable interest entity that is
consolidated with Goodyear under generally accepted accounting
principles.

T&WA, a minority business enterprise that was founded in 1995,
supplies mounted and balanced tire and wheel assemblies to auto
manufacturers.  The business operates facilities in Alabama,

CHRYSLER LLC: International Markets Sell 599,618 Units in 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler LLC posted sales of 599,618 units in 2007 for markets
outside the U.S., an 8% increase versus 2006.

In Canada, 232,859 units were sold, a 6% increase while in
Mexico, there was an increase of 0.1%, with 128,541 units sold.

"On behalf of our leadership team, I would like to extend my
thanks and appreciation to Chrysler's global network for a
strong 2007," Bob Nardelli, Chrysler chairman and CEO disclosed.

"This global performance is a great demonstration of what can be
done when all of our employees, dealers, distributors and
suppliers are fully aligned and focused on meeting the needs of
our customers and being competitive in the industry.  As we
continue to grow globally, it's our proud heritage that will
continue to differentiate Chrysler in global markets and
resonate with customers worldwide," Mr. Nardelli added.

With the segment that it created, Chrysler LLC remains the
minivan leader with Dodge Grand Caravan holding the number one
position in the United States with 176,041 units sold in 2007
and ranking second in global sales with 232,000 units sold.
With 30,937 units sold outside North America, Dodge Caliber was
the highest sales volume vehicle for the company.

"We are fortunate that in a tough industry, customers in the
United States, Canada, Mexico and around the world have
responded favorably to our Chrysler, Jeepr and more recently,
Dodge brands,"Jim Press, Chrysler's vice chairman and president,
said.  "This is a revitalized organization, moving in the right
direction, with a renewed emphasis on putting the global
customer first at every step in the process-anxious to serve,
proud of the value and quality of our products.  I am pleased to
say that our global results are beginning to show this."

Sales increases in select markets were driven by the worldwide
appeal and strong customer interest in Chrysler's new vehicles,
including the Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot.
Worldwide sales were down less than one percent during 2007 to
2,676,268 units versus 2,698,429 units in 2006.

                 Chrysler International Markets

Spurred by demand for new Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge products,
Chrysler achieved record sales outside North America in 2007,
outselling any previous year in the company's history.  Year-to-
date sales increased 15% to 238,218 units from 2006 results of

GARANT SCHUH: Exit Bankruptcy After Capital Increase
----------------------------------------------------
The insolvency proceedings against Garant Schuh + Mode AG has
been lifted after shareholder approval of a capital increase,
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reports.

Garant is no longer in bankruptcy, with effect from Jan. 1.
After three years, the Board has now the power to dispose of the
company's assets.

                       Capital Measures

According to Financial Times Deutschland, Friedrich Wilhelm
Metzeler, the insolvency administrator, obtained fresh capital
for Garant via a trust company.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe on Nov. 8, 2007, citing
Borsen Zeitung, Erste Amplificator is a trust firm created by
the insolvency administrator to acquire new shares on Garant's
upcoming capital increase.  Following the capital hike, Erste
Amplificator will hold a 76% stake in the company.

The trust company, which owns 90% of shares in the group and
holds all the voting rights, is set to be sold to strategic
investors by mid-2008, Financial Times Deutschland relates.

Mr. Metzeler, which accompanied the insolvency procedure since
Sept. 7, 2004, will supervise in the future not only the
fulfillment of the insolvency plan, but also will see to it that
the trust company pass shares held from the capital increase to
one or more strategic investors.

In March 2007, Garant's shareholders voted to launch capital
measures to get out of insolvency and avoid liquidation.

The capital measures initially entail cutting the share capital
and then increasing it by issuing new stocks at EUR9.63 per
share.  Current shareholders would see their holdings diluted to
24%, while new investors could control up to 76% of voting
rights.

                            Financing

The future financing of the various business areas of Garant is
both through loan commitments from banks and the continuation of
the contract with the ABS-backed service provider.  Garant is
currently working with about 3,500 dealers, over 5,200 specialty
stores operate in Europe, and with more than 2,100 contract
suppliers.

Garant plans for 2008, a growth of five percent compared to last
year.  In particular, the positive developments on the European
foreign market open good prospects for the company.  In
addition, the company with the winning back of contract
suppliers during the bankruptcy proceedings, the business
relationship was interrupted, and with the connection of
Neugewinnung houses.

"We are pleased that we are after a difficult insolvency
proceedings now fully on our customers and markets," Robert
Natter, CEO of Garant, said.

Headquartered in Duesseldorf, Germany, Garant Schuh & Mode AG --
http://www.garantschuh.de/-- retails footwear, leather goods
and accessories.  The Garant Schuh & Mode group is a cooperative
of 4,000 stockists in 14 European countries, with a total of
5,800 stores.  The Company has member firms in Germany, France,
the Netherlands, Austria and Belgium.

SABIC INNOVATIVE: S&P Puts Watch on BB Ratings on Earnings Drop
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed the 'BB' long-term
corporate credit rating on SABIC Innovative Plastics Holding
B.V. on CreditWatch with negative implications after a
significant earnings drop in third quarter of 2007 and news of
weaker prospects for the polycarbonate markets in 2008. Ratings
on all issues were also placed on CreditWatch negative.

SABIC Innovative Plastics reported its first stand-alone results
for the year ending Sept. 30, 2007.  Reported operating profit
was significantly below expectations with pro forma EBITDA for
third quarter of 2007 at US$115 million.  This is US$156 million
lower than performance in third quarter of 2006.

"The weaker results are largely due to inflated raw material
costs and a 3% decline in volumes in the third quarter," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Tobias Mock. "Although third-
quarter selling prices were up 1%, this did not offset the
inflationary pressure from raw materials.  We had expected
the company to show stronger pricing power and to pass on its
higher raw material costs to its customers."

The first covenant test of debt to consolidated EBITDA will be
on June 30, 2008, and Standard & Poor's is concerned that the
company could breach this covenant because of its poor
performance in third quarter and the lack of indicators of a
fast recovery of the polycarbonate industry.

Mr Mock commented: "We expect that Saudi Basic Industries Corp.
will likely have to offer some parental support in 2008 to
protect its subsidiary SABIC Innovative Plastics from a distress
scenario."

Standard & Poor's review will focus on the polycarbonate
markets' business prospects and how these affect the stand-alone
assessment of SABIC Innovative Plastics, as well as the parental
support factored into the ratings. Currently, we have assigned a
'B' stand-alone assessment to SABIC Innovative Plastics, with
three notches uplift due to expected parental support.

S&P plans to resolve the CreditWatch placement after meeting
SABIC Innovative Plastics and Saudi Basic Industries management
in the coming weeks.

AFFILIATED COMPUTER: Inks Strategic Alliance with Ingenix
---------------------------------------------------------
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. and Ingenix has disclosed a
strategic alliance to provide Medicaid Management Information
Systems decision support solutions to state governments.

Under the terms of the alliance agreement, the two companies
will work with each other to supply decision support solutions
for Affiliated Computer's state Medicaid Systems initiatives.
Affiliated Computer will license its portfolio of federally
certified decision support technologies to Ingenix, which will
provide its Medicaid Systems clients with a broad array of
decision support methodologies, software applications, and
related consulting services.  Decision support systems analyze
data to help health administrators assess Medicaid program
status, analyze healthcare policy, monitor budget trends and
measure program performance.

"This partnership allows us to enhance our current systems and
deliver better service to our Medicaid clients," said Affiliated
Computer senior vice president and managing director, Government
Healthcare Solutions, Christopher T. Deelsnyder.  "Combining
Ingenix' innovative decision support capabilities with ACS'
technologies strengthens our ability to streamline and improve
the delivery of healthcare in Medicaid programs."

Impact Pro for Care Management is Ingenix' innovative platform
for helping state Medicaid programs better identify and manage
both chronic and acute health conditions.  This predictive
modeling and care management tool is currently being used by the
ACS-Ingenix alliance to support the State of Mississippi's
Division of Medicaid.

"This relationship brings together an unparalleled set of data,
technology and experience that will increase efficiency, reduce
costs and improve care outcomes for Medicaid recipients and the
state governments that manage their health services," said
Ingenix chief executive officer, Andy Slavitt.  "Together, we
will offer a unique set of solutions that will help us grow our
respective businesses by giving our clients a suite of services
that meet their expectations."

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Dec. 5, 2007, Fitch Ratings has removed Affiliated Computer

ratings: Issuer Default Rating 'BB'; Senior secured revolving
credit facility at 'BB'; Senior secured term loan at 'BB';
Senior notes at 'BB-'.

Fitch said the rating outlook is stable.


AFFILIATED COMPUTER: S&P Maintains 'BB' Corporate Credit Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB' corporate
credit rating on Dallas, Texas-based Affiliated Computer
Services Inc., and removed it from CreditWatch, where it had
been placed with negative implications on March 20, 2007.   The
outlook is negative.

The affirmation follows the withdrawal of a buyout offer by
private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, and led by ACS'
chairman and founder, for over US$8 billion (including the
assumption of debt).

"Although ACS' current debt levels (in the 3x area) are somewhat
moderate for the rating given ACS' satisfactory business
profile, the company has exhibited a much more aggressive
financial policy in its willingness to pursue an LBO, and it may
continue to pursue ongoing acquisitions and share repurchases,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Philip Schrank.  "At the
'BB' rating level, our expectation is that ACS will manage its
debt leverage at 3x-5x over the intermediate term, which would
allow it to complete its
outstanding US$800 million share repurchase program, as well as
make some moderate-size acquisitions."

The negative outlook reflects ACS' ability within its credit
facilities to significantly increase debt to finance sizable
share repurchases or acquisitions, if it desires.

      therapy commercially and approximately 2,500 physicians
      have prescribed the therapy;

   -- Internationally, approximately 7,500 patients were on
      TYSABRI therapy commercially;

   -- In global clinical trials, approximately 700 patients were
      on TYSABRI therapy; and

   -- There have been no cases of progressive multifocal
      leukoencephalopathy since re-launch in the US and
      launch internationally in July 2006.

In addition, as of mid-December 2007:

   -- Cumulatively, in the combined clinical trial and
      postmarketing settings, up to 30,900 patients have been
      treated with TYSABRI; and

   -- Of those patients, up to 6,300 have received at least one
      year of TYSABRI therapy.

TYSABRI is available in the United States through the TOUCH(TM)
Prescribing Program.  All US prescribers, infusion sites and
patients receiving TYSABRI are required to enroll in TOUCH.
Safety information is also collected through ongoing clinical
trials and registries, including TYGRIS and the pregnancy
registry, making this the largest long-term patient follow-up
effort undertaken for any MS therapy.

                    About TOUCH and TYGRIS

Before initiating treatment, all US patients, prescribers and
infusion sites must be enrolled in the TOUCH Prescribing Program
(TYSABRI Outreach: Unified Commitment to Health).  TOUCH is
designed to determine the incidence of and risk factors for
serious opportunistic infections, including PML, and to
monitor patients for signs and symptoms of PML while promoting
informed benefit-risk discussions prior to initiating TYSABRI
treatment.  Physicians report on PML, other serious OIs, deaths
and discontinuation of therapy on an ongoing basis.

TYGRIS (TYSABRI Global ObseRvation Program In Safety) is
expected to enroll 5,000 patients worldwide, including
approximately 3,000 patients from TOUCH.  Patients in TYGRIS are
evaluated at baseline and every six months thereafter for five
years.  Researchers will evaluate data including medical/MS
history; prior TYSABRI use; prior use of immunomodulatory,
antineoplastic, or immunosuppressive agents; and all serious
adverse events, including PML and other serious OIs, and
malignancies.

Adverse event reporting in the post-marketing setting is
voluntary.  It is possible that not all reactions have been
reported, or that some reactions are not reported to Biogen or
Elan in a timely manner.

                         About TYSABRI

TYSABRI is a treatment approved for relapsing forms of MS in the
United States and relapsing-remitting MS in the European Union.
According to data that have been published in the New England
Journal of Medicine, after two years, TYSABRI treatment led to a
68% relative reduction (p<0.001) in the annualized relapse
rate compared to placebo and reduced the relative risk of
disability progression by 42-54% (p<0.001).

TYSABRI increases the risk of PML, an opportunistic viral
infection of the brain that usually leads to death or
severe disability.  Other serious adverse events that have
occurred in TYSABRI-treated patients included hypersensitivity
reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) and infections. Serious
opportunistic and other atypical infections have been
observed in TYSABRI-treated patients, some of whom were
receiving concurrent immunosuppressants.  Herpes infections were
slightly more common in patients treated with TYSABRI.  In MS
trials, the incidence and rate of other serious and common
adverse events, including the overall incidence and rate of
infections, were balanced between treatment groups.  Common
adverse events reported in TYSABRI-treated patients include
headache, fatigue, infusion reactions, urinary tract infections,
joint and limb pain, and rash.

In addition to the United States and European Union, TYSABRI is
also approved for MS in Switzerland, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and Israel.  TYSABRI was discovered by Elan and is co-
developed with Biogen.

JUBILEE CDO II:  Fitch Rates EUR6.55 Million Class D notes at BB
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Jubilee CDO II B.V's notes following
a satisfactory performance review:

   -- EUR300.5 million Class A-1 notes (ISIN: XS0150181278):
      affirmed at 'AAA'

   -- EUR3 million Class A-2 notes (ISIN: XS0150183647):
      affirmed at 'AAA'

      affirmed at 'A'

   -- EUR7.5 million Class B-2 notes (ISIN: XS0150210127):

The rating actions reflect the transaction's stable performance.
As of the November 2007 report, the transaction has passed all
portfolio and coverage test, except for the interest coverage
test for the Class C and D notes, which fail marginally.  The
tests are expected to be recovered by the July 2008 payment
date.  There have been no defaults to date.  The portfolio
currently contains two 'CCC' and below rated assets that
represent 0.8% of the current portfolio.  The subordination of
the capital structure as well as the excess spread generated by
the portfolio create sufficient credit enhancement to withstand
the current rating levels.  The reinvestment period has expired
on the latest payment date, 15 July 2007.

The transaction represents a cash-flow securitization of a
portfolio of European leveraged loans and is managed by Alcentra
Ltd. Jubilee II is a special purpose vehicle incorporated under
the laws of the Netherlands with limited liability.

GETIN BANK: Fitch Affirms BB IDR with Stable Outlook
----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Poland-based Getin Bank's ratings at
Long-term IDR 'BB', Short-term IDR 'B', Individual 'D' and
Support '5'.  The Outlook is Stable.

At the same time, Fitch assigned GB a National Long-term rating
of 'BBB(pol)' with Stable Outlook.  The Support Rating Floor is
affirmed at 'No Floor'.  GB's outstanding EUR500 million and
US$100 million eurobonds are affirmed at Long-term 'BB'.

The Long-term, Short-term IDRs and Individual rating reflect the
bank's short track record, the operational risk associated with
its rapid growth and acquisitions, its moderate liquidity and
only adequate capitalization.  They also reflect its success in
building a profitable franchise, high cost-efficiency and a
conservative market risk appetite.

GB continued its rapid expansion with loan portfolio growth of
31% in first half of 2007, following the 80% growth recorded in
2006.  The growth was funded with eurobond issuance and active
acquisition of domestic deposits.  The tightening of liquidity
in both international and domestic markets may result in slower
asset growth over the short- and medium-term.

GB was the 13th-largest bank in Poland, with 176 branches and a
1.9% share in sector assets at end of first half of 2007.  The
bank is focused on mortgage lending, consumer finance and
bancassurance.  At end of first half of 2007 the loan portfolio
was 50% mortgages, 22% auto loans, 14% consumer loans and 14%
business loans.  GB is part of Getin Holding, an integrated
financial group quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.


MPK LODZ: S&P Rates PLN166 Billion Revenue Bond at BB+
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned a 'BB+' initial
rating to Polish public transport provider, MPK Lodz.  At the
same time, Standard & Poor's also assigned a 'BB+' rating to MPK
Lodz's PLN166 million revenue bond.

MPK Lodz is the first local government-related entity to be
rated by Standard & Poor's in Republic of Poland (local currency
A/Stable /A-1; foreign currency A-/Stable/A-2).  S&P already
rate two Polish local and regional governments: the cities of
Lodz and Krakow.

The rating on MPK Lodz is supported by the city of Lodz's 100%
ownership and tight supervision and the company's contractual
relationship with the city, which established a long-term
framework for the provision of essential public transport
services.  Under this contract, the company receives a stable
80% of its income from the municipal budget.  The rating also
takes into account the city's recent commitment to entrust MPK
with the construction and operation of a new, prestigious tram
line until 2032 and to dedicate substantial additional revenues
to the company.

The company has repeatedly improved its financial position by
implementing a drastic restructuring plan and by showing some
success in developing ancillary activities.  The rating is
nevertheless constrained by the company's default in 2003-2004,
during which the city did not provide any support.  It is also
constrained by the extensive investment plans that the company
has recently embarked on, that will translate into further debt
accumulation.

"We expect that current financial and legal links with the city
will remain unquestioned," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Marcin Gdula.  "More specifically, we expect that MPK Lodz's
main service contract with the city will be renewed and will
continue to secure future flows of revenues for the company, and
that the company's shareholding structure and statutory
framework will remain unchanged."

Mr. Gdula noted: "The rating may come under pressure should
these conditions change, or should the company substantially
exceeds its medium-term debt forecasts.  The rating would be
positively affected should a clearer and more supportive
framework between the city and the company be put in place,
especially in the context of the management contract renewal."

NADRA BANK: Fitch Affirms IDR at B- with Positive Outlook
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the ratings of Ukraine-based Nadra
Bank at Long-term Issuer Default 'B-', Short-term IDR 'B',
Individual 'D/E', Support '5' and Support Rating Floor 'B-'.  At
the same time, Fitch has changed the Outlook for the Long-term
IDR to Positive from Stable.

The change in Outlook reflects the progress the bank is making
in expanding its retail franchise and the potential for
improvements in core earnings as economies of scale improve.
However, the ratings also reflect high risks associated with
ongoing rapid asset growth, potentially vulnerable liquidity and
moderate loan impairment coverage combined with currently weak
capitalization.

Nadra's assets have grown quickly, by 1.7x in 2006 and 1.4x in
first half of 2007, mainly on the back of retail lending.
Although past-due loans were at manageable levels at end of
first half of 2007, the portfolio is largely unseasoned, while
the equity cushion is currently limited to absorb any rise in
unexpected future losses.  At end of first half of 2007, Nadra's
reported Basel I Tier 1 and total capital adequacy ratios were
12.4% and 13.2%, respectively.  However a large 46% of tier 1
capital was consumed by investments in funds holding a loan
origination company with which the bank works closely and other
financial and non-financial assets.

A substantial part of those investments represented revaluations
of the stakes held, rather than the equity of the underlying
entities, thus undermining the quality of capital.  Fixed assets
are also considerable, meaning that the free capital ratio is
low, while rapid ongoing growth has continued in second half of
2007 and is forecast in 2008, without new equity injections from
the current majority shareholders.  An IPO or private placement
of shares is earmarked for 2008, although no concrete plans have
been confirmed to Fitch.

Upward pressure on the ratings could result from stronger
earnings performance and improved capitalization (which would
probably require an injection of new equity), coupled with
further successful business expansion and adequate asset
quality.  At the same time, failure to improve capitalization,
an increase in loan delinquencies or any signs of instability in
the bank's predominantly short-term funding base could prevent
an upgrade or cause the Outlook to revert back to Stable.

Nadra is the seventh largest Ukrainian bank by asset size, with
a strong presence in the retail segment and about 3.4% of system
assets at end of third quarter of 2007. At end of third quarter
of 2007 the bank had the sixth-largest nationwide network of
branches and outlets (nearly 650 units in various formats), the
fifth-largest network of ATMs (over 850) and the third-largest
network of plastic card acquiring terminals (over 6,000).  About
87% of Nadra's shares are ultimately held by four individuals
(including 31% held by Nadra's CEO Igor Gilenko).  Foreign
portfolio investors jointly own 8%, including East Capital
Fund's 7%.

BAA LTD: Taps Balfour Beatty for Heathrow Midfield Pier Project
---------------------------------------------------------------
BAA Ltd. (fka BAA plc) has selected Balfour Beatty, the
international engineering, construction, services and investment
group, to deliver its Midfield Pier project at Heathrow Airport.

Pre-construction work, comprising design, value management and
construction program development, is already under way on a
project which will complement the new Heathrow East Terminal and
which will be built in three phases.  Scheme design was
completed at the end of last year, with construction work
commencing in the spring of 2008.  In the period 2008 to 2011,
Phases 1 and 2 will be undertaken, comprising the Northern and
Mid Sections.  These phases of the project, which will be worth
approximately GBP350 million, will include a cut and cover
tunnel which links Heathrow East with the Midfield Pier,
passenger transfer travellators and cut and cover tunnels for a
Track Transit System.

A Remote Passenger Transfer Stand may also form part of the
first two phases of the project, which are due for completion in
2012, and would be worth approximately a further GBP78 million.
In Phase 3, which would commence following the completion of the
preceding work, a further Southern Section is due to be built at
a value of approaching GBP100 million.

"Having achieved preferred supplier status for BAA's program of
complex building works in the coming period, we are delighted to
have secured the planned work on the Midfield Pier project at
Heathrow," Ian Tyler, chief executive of Balfour Beatty, said.
"Our performance in delivering the rail systems element of
Terminal 5 has been instrumental in the successful on-schedule
handover of Terminal 5 to BAA on Sept. 17."

Balfour Beatty has worked closely with BAA over many years on a
number of their key airport developments and, most recently, has
been involved in the design, management and delivery of some
GBP450 million of work at Heathrow Terminal 5.  The handovers of
the Piccadilly Line extension, the Heathrow Express extension,
the new Terminal 5 underground system and the inter-terminal
track transit system were all achieved on time.  This has
provided an excellent platform for the continuation of the
relationship into the next generation of BAA's infrastructure
investments.

                            About BAA

Mr. Boag joined Chrysler in April 2005 as Vice President --

Mr. Campi has more than 35 years of experience in the sourcing

Consulting were hired as Chrysler consultants in October 2007.
Previously, Mr. Campi led the drive for standardization and

industry."

                       *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
Dec. 11, 2007, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised it
recovery rating on Chrysler's US$2 billion senior secured
second-lien term loan due 2014.  The issue-level rating on this
debt remains unchanged at 'B', and the recovery rating was
revised to '3', indicating an expectation for meaningful (50% to
70%) recovery in the event of a payment default, from '4'.


DA VINCI: Fitch Rates EUR15.6 Million Class C Notes at BB+
----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the tranches of the Da Vinci
Synthetic plc transaction:

   -- EUR25.9 million Class A floating-rate notes at 'A' with
      Stable Outlook

   -- EUR20.8 million Class B floating-rate notes at 'BBB' with
      Stable Outlook

   -- EUR15.6 million Class C floating-rate notes at 'BB+' with
      Stable Outlook.

This transaction is a synthetic securitization of a portfolio of
financial leases and loans secured on aircraft and associated
aircraft collateral.  Merrill Lynch International Bank entered
into a credit default swap with Intesa Sanpaolo ("the
originator") under which it sells protection on a reference
portfolio of up to US$650 million.

All financial lease or loan obligations ("the reference
portfolio") relate to the financing or refinancing of aircraft.
At closing, MLI bought protection on the reference portfolio
from the senior CDS counterparty and from the issuer, tranching
the risk of the portfolio in the first loss piece with a
notional amount of US$26 million, a mezzanine tranche with a
notional amount of EUR62.3 million and a senior tranche with a
notional amount of US$545.8 million.  The aggregate portfolio
notional amount, following replenishment and substitution,
totals US$565.2 million.

The rating actions, which follow a satisfactory review and the
transactions' performance to date, are based on the quality of
the reference portfolio, available credit enhancement, and the
absence of both credit event and cash settlements.  In addition,
the proceeds of the Class A, B and C notes are collateralized by
sufficient cash deposits placed with IntesaSP (rated 'AA-/F1+')
to support the highest ratings on the notes.  Furthermore,
interest payments on the notes have been in line with the
conditions of payment set out in the transaction documents.


DURA AUTOMOTIVE: Court Defers DIP Financing Maturity to Jan. 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
At the request of DURA Automotive Systems, Inc., and its debtor-
affiliates, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware extended the maturity date of the Debtors' postpetition
secured revolving and term loan financing facilities until
Jan. 31, 2008.

The Debtors told the Court that without extensions of the
maturity dates, previously set Dec. 31, 2007, the Debtors
obligations under the revolving and term-loan facilities become
immediately due and payable, and the DIP Lenders would be
entitled to exercise all remedies available to them.  Absent the
extension, the Debtors would face, among other things,
insufficient working capital to fund ongoing operations.

Beginning in September 2007, the Debtors initiated discussions
with, and solicited exit financing proposals from, a variety of
potential exit lenders.  The Debtors have selected Goldman Sachs
Credit Partners L.P. and Barclays Capital to act as arrangers to
syndicate the exit financing, but as of mid-December 2007, the
arrangers have been unable to secure a full syndication of
DURA's proposed US$425 million exit financing, due to tighter
credit conditions.

Marc Kieselstein, P.C., Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, in
Chicago, Illinois, recounted that, in December 2007, the Debtors
and their advisors also contacted several potential third-party
lenders, and solicited debtor-in-financing proposals that would
replace the existing DIP Facilities in one form or another.
Though some parties showed interest in providing proposals, none
expressed confidence they could close the transaction within the
time-frame required by the Debtors, said Mr. Kieselstein said.

According to Mr. Kieselstein, the Debtors along with their
advisors determined that six months would be an appropriate
length of for the maturity date extensions of each of the DIP
Facilities, but that, to meet the Debtors' operational financing
needs between February and June 2008, the extensions would
require an increase in the size of the term loan amount under
the DIP Facilities.  For January 2008, however, no term loan
increase is necessary to meet the debtors' operational financing
needs.  Accordingly, obtaining maturity date extensions of month
for each of the DIP facilities was the only feasible extensions
available to the Debtors, Mr. Kieselstein told the Court.

Given the short period of time allowed by the one-month
extensions, the Debtors are presently, however, attempting to
negotiate, among other things, follow-on five or six month
maturity date extensions of the each of the DIP facilities and
the term loan increase.  The Debtors will present any request
for further amendments to the DIP Facilities at the Jan. 24,
2008 omnibus hearing.

   Maturity Date:   January 31, 2008

Mr. Kieselstein told the Court that the Debtors, in order to
obtain the Maturity Date extensions and effect the Canada
Restructuring, were required to offer "sufficient" consideration
to obtain unanimous lender consent under the DIP Facilities.
The Debtors, however, redacted the Amendment Fees from the
Amended Credit Agreements filed with the Court.

The Court ruled that all prepetition second priority liens and
replacement liens granted to prepetition second priority lenders
in the Final DIP Order on any assets being released by the
Postpetition Secured Parties in connection with the Canada
Restructuring will be released to the same extent as any liens
on the "Covered Assets" in favor of the Postpetition Secured
Parties are released.

All guarantees in favor of the Prepetition Second Priority
Lenders from any person that has also issued a guaranty in favor
of the Postpetition Secured Parties, which is being terminated
in connection with the Canada Restructuring, will be terminated
to the same extent as the guarantees by the Covered Guarantors
in favor of the Postpetition Secured Parties are terminated.

To the extent that (a) any Covered Assets are not property of a
Debtor or (b) any Covered Guarantor is not a Debtor, the
Prepetition Second Priority Agent will use all efforts to
release their liens on the Covered Assets and terminate the
guaranties in their favor from the Covered Guarantors.

The liens of the Postpetition Secured Parties granted in the
Final DIP Order, the Prepetition Second Priority Liens and the
replacement liens granted to the Prepetition Second Priority
Lenders in the Final DIP Order will each attach to 66% of the
capital stock of the newly formed German partnership to the same
extent and with the same priority as provided for in the Final
DIP Order.  All of those liens will be deemed perfected, valid,
binding, and enforceable by the Postpetition Secured Parties and
the Prepetition Second Priority Lenders and subject to the
priorities provided for in the Final DIP Order without the need
for any other filing or action, provided that the liens of the
Prepetition Second Priority Lenders will be junior in all
respects to the liens of the Postpetition Secured Parties.

The transfers contemplated in the Canada Restructuring will not
increase the value of assets subject to the liens or claims held
by the Prepetition Second Lien Lenders.

The Court also authorized the Debtors to pay the DIP Lenders
US$358,000 to overlook loan covenant violations as a result of
the Debtors' entry into Court-approved agreements with Johnson
Controls Systems, Inc., its affiliates and subsidiaries, and
Bridgewater Interiors LLC.

DURA AUTOMOTIVE: Restructuring of Canadian Subsidiaries Approved
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware also
authorized Dura Automotive Systems Inc. and its debtor-
affiliates to implement corporate restructuring of certain of
their subsidiaries located in Canada to obtain certain tax
savings.

Mr. Kieselstein told the Honorable Kevin J. Carey that, in order
to realize the tax savings, the Debtors must begin the Canada
Restructuring prior to Dec. 31, 2007.  In order to do so, the
Debtors required certain waivers under the DIP Facilities.

Specifically, the Canada Restructuring involves:

   (1) Transfer of Debtor Dura Automotive Canada ULC's (i) stock
       in Debtor Universal Tool & Stamping and Dura Automotive
       Cables and (ii) US$26 million notes receivables from
       Trident to Debtor Dura Operating Corp. as a return of
       capital;

   (2) Migration and re-incorporation of Debtor Dura Ontario,
       Inc., as an Unlimited Liability Company in British
       Columbia;

   (3) Formation of New German Holding Company (NewCo KG);

   (4) Removal of pledges on Canadian shares, assets and the
       US$84 million DOC-ULC note, and 65% of Dura Holding
       Germany shares and replacing them with pledge of 65% of
       NewCo KG shares;

   (5) Contribution of Dura Operating of its shares in DOC-ULC
       and the US$84 million Note to NewCo KG; and

   (6) Transfer of Dura Operating's 90% shares in DGH and its
       99.9% interest in Debtor Dura Operating Canada LP to
       NewCo KG.

Mr. Kieselstein says the DIP Amendments do not require specific
approval by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.  RSM Richter
Inc., which provides the Ontario Court with updates on material
activities in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases, supports the Canada
Restructuring.

FEDERAL-MOGUL: S&P Puts BB- Rating on US$2.96 Bln Senior Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating to Southfield, Michigan-based Federal-Mogul Corp.
following the company's emergence from Chapter 11 on Dec. 27,
2007.  The outlook is stable.

Standard & Poor's also assigned Federal-Mogul's US$540 million
asset-based revolving credit facility due 2013 a 'BB+' rating
(two notches higher than the corporate credit rating) with a
recovery rating of '1', indicating an expectation for very high
(90%-100%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

Standard & Poor's assigned Federal-Mogul's US$2.96 billion
senior secured term loan a 'BB-' bank loan rating (the same
level as the corporate credit rating) with a recovery rating of
'4', indicating an expectation for average (30%-50%) recovery.
The term loan consists of a US$1 billion eight-year facility and
a US$1.96 billion seven-year facility.  Of the total term loan,
US$878 million was drawn at closing and the balance was drawn on
Jan. 3, 2008.

"The corporate credit rating reflects Federal-Mogul's weak
business profile and high leverage, but also its adequate
liquidity," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Nancy Messer.

These ratings are consistent with our report published Nov. 28,
2007, in which S&P detailed the ratings it expected to assign to
Federal-Mogul upon emergence.  Federal-Mogul has about
US$3.1 billion of total balance-sheet debt outstanding following
emergence from bankruptcy, with the senior secured term loan
fully drawn and applied toward refinancing other debt incurred
as part of the plan of reorganization.

Downside ratings risk is mitigated by S&P's expectation of
continued modest sales and EBITDA expansion and of positive free
cash flow that could allow for reduced leverage in the near
term.  Also limiting downside risk is Standard & Poor's
expectation that the effect of restructuring activities will
produce improved EBITDA margin in 2008-2009.  Federal-Mogul's
diverse end-market, product portfolio, and customer base also
provide ratings support.

Federal-Mogul Corporation -- http://www.federal-mogul.com/--
(OTCBB: FDMLQ) is a global supplier, serving the world's
foremost original equipment manufacturers of automotive, light
commercial, heavy-duty, agricultural, marine, rail, off-road and

Southfield, Michigan, and employs 45,000 people in 35 countries.

GAP INC: Names Simon Kneen as Creative Dir. for Banana Republic

experience in key design roles for apparel brands in the United

"Simon has a tremendous ability to creatively guide a brand,

part of the leadership team that helped reposition the brand.
While at the Retail Brand Alliance, he was also responsible for
designing the collections under the Casual Corner label from
2003 until 2005, prior to the brand's sale.

From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Kneen was creative director for Maska,
the Italian fashion house known for its exclusive couture
collection and fashionable ready-to-wear line.  Prior to that,
he was head designer, Pret-a Porter, for Maison Balmain, based
in Paris.  Mr. Kneen also led his own design firm and produced

INTERNATIONAL POWER: Fitch Affirms IDR at BB with Stable Outlook
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed International Power plc's Long-term
Issuer Default Rating at 'BB' with Stable Outlook.

IPR is a U.K. holding company for a portfolio of international
power assets.

The ratings reflect IPR's relatively conservative debt levels
and management's prudent approach to expansion of the business
and to financing.  Unlike several of its peers, IPR has not
aggressively pursued double leverage - the use of holding
company debt to fund the "equity" in subsidiaries, associates or
joint ventures which are, themselves, predominantly debt-funded.

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's expectation that management
will maintain its prudent acquisition and financing strategy.

Since the last credit review, IPR has enlarged its engagement in
renewable energy sources with its acquisition of Levanto,
Maestrale and Schkortleben wind farm portfolios.  Further
acquisitions included the oil-fired OCGT Indian Queens peaking
plant in Cornwall, England and the purchase of the 50% remaining
stake in a partnership with Energy Australia.  IPR also
strengthened its cooperation with Mitsui by creating a common
ownership platform for its UK assets in June 2007.

Debt finance at the subsidiaries is of non-recourse nature to
IPR and almost all of the group's assets are project-financed.
For groups financed in this manner, Fitch focuses on debt and
cash-flows at the holding company rather than for the
consolidated group, since the holding company has limited access
to the subsidiaries' assets other than the dividends and has no,
or limited, liability associated with the subsidiaries' debts.

TATA MOTORS: Moody's May Lower Ba1 Rating After Review
------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the Ba1 Corporate Family Rating
of Tata Motors Ltd on review for possible downgrade.

This rating action follows the announcement by Ford Motor
Company (B3/Stable) naming TML as the preferred buyer for Ford's
luxury Jaguar and Land Rover car brands after several months of
discussion.  TML will now be entering a period of more focused
and detailed negotiations with Ford and hopes to reach an
agreement in the forthcoming weeks.  Moody's believes TML has a
keen interest in the two brands.

"Should TML proceed with the transaction and acquire these two
businesses, it will face considerable execution and integration
challenges," says Elizabeth Allen, a Moody's Vice
President/Senior Analyst.

"Furthermore, while TML enjoys a strong position primarily in
the low to mid-end vehicle segments in India and in some
developing markets, the acquisition of the Jaguar and Land Rover
brands will expose the company to the luxury product category as
well as to broader geographies; these are areas in which TML
lacks experience.  Moody's therefore believes such a transaction
would materially increase the business risk profile of TML,"
says Allen.

On the other hand, Moody's acknowledges that in the long term
this potential acquisition could elevate TML from a major Indian
player into a global automobile manufacturer, enlarge its
operating scale, improve its technology base and broaden its
product range.  Nonetheless, the challenges in the near to
medium term are substantial.

The review will focus on:

  (1) the funding structure of the potential transaction;

  (2) the potential transaction's overall impact on TML's
      operating and financial profile -- including the company's
      plans to address the potential integration challenges and
      Moody's assessment of the substantial funding arrangements
      involved.

Should TML decide not to proceed with the transaction, the
rating outlook is likely to revert to stable.

India's largest automobile company, Tata Motors Limited --
http://www.tatamotors.com/-- is mainly engaged in the business
of automobile products consisting of all types of commercial and
passenger vehicles, including financing of the vehicles sold by
the Company.  The Company's operating segments consists of
Automotive and Others.  In addition to its automotive products,
it offers construction equipment, engineering solutions and
software operations.

Tata Motors has operations in Russia and the United Kingdom.

TML is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, the National Stock
Exchange of India and New York Stock Exchange.  It is ultimately
33.42% owned by the Tata Group as of September 2007.

VONAGE HOLDINGS: Inks Pact Implementing MOU on Sprint's Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vonage Holdings Corp. disclosed in a regulatory filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that on Dec. 28, 2007,
it entered into a settlement agreement with Sprint
Communications Company L.P., effective Oct. 27, 2007, to
implement the terms of a binding memorandum of understanding
entered into by the parties on Oct. 7, 2007.

                           Background

Pursuant to the terms of the MOU:

   On Oct. 19, 2007, the company paid Sprint the sum of
   US$80 million.

   On Nov. 16, 2007, the parties filed a joint motion for
   dismissal with prejudice, dismissing all claims and
   counterclaims in the patent infringement lawsuit Sprint filed
   against the company in the United States District Court for
   the District of Kansas.

   On Nov. 19, 2007, the parties filed a joint motion for
   dismissal with prejudice, dismissing all claims and
   counterclaims against Sprint in the case of Digital Packet
   Licensing Inc. v. SBC Internet Services, Inc. et al., pending
   in the United States District Court for the Northern District
   of Texas, which alleged patent infringement against Sprint.

                         Cross-License

The agreement provides that the company will receive a non-
exclusive, fully paid, non-refundable, non-sublicensable, non-
transferable license in the United States to all of Sprint's
patents in its Voice over Packet patent portfolio in a field of
use covering:

   (i) voice over internet protocol services in which the user
       accesses the Company's VoIP network over a data
       connection;

  (ii) related network architectures; and

(iii) related customer equipment.

Sprint will obtain, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, a
license to all of the company's patents issued in the future for
VoP technology, which license will expire when Sprint's license
to the company or its successors is terminated.

                        Previous Settlement

The agreement provides that within 21 days of the execution of
the agreement, Sprint, at its option, may elect to accept the
terms and conditions of a settlement agreement that the company
entered into on Oct. 25, 2007, with Verizon Services Corp. in
the matter of Verizon Servs. Corp. v. Vonage Holdings Corp. et
al., Case No. 06-0682, in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Virginia, as those terms and conditions
are reasonably conformed to Sprint's circumstances, in lieu of
the terms and conditions of the agreement.  However, Sprint will
not be entitled to the financial terms of the Verizon Agreement
for any funds paid to Verizon after the one-year period
following the execution of the agreement.

                         Transferability

The agreement includes certain restrictions on the
transferability of the license granted by Sprint to the company.
If the company is acquired by AT&T or Verizon or any successor,
then the acquiring company will only obtain a license for a
portion of Sprint's VoP patent portfolio, which would include
those patents that were the subject of the company's litigation
with Sprint.

Furthermore, the license to any telecom company would only cover
the company's existing customer base and would terminate if the
telecom company asserts any patent infringement claim against
Sprint, its affiliates or certain Sprint strategic partners.

If the company is acquired by an entity that is not a telecom
company, then the acquiring company would obtain a license for
all of the Sprint patents within its VoP portfolio for its
existing customer base as adjusted for the company's historical
growth rate.

However, if the acquiring company is an entity that has less
than 10% of the company's VoP customers falling within the field
of use at the time of acquisition, the license would cover the
entire customer base of the combined entity.  Unless Sprint has
first filed a patent infringement suit against the acquiring
company, the acquiring company's license terminates if it or any
affiliated entity asserts a patent infringement action against
Sprint, its affiliates and certain Sprint strategic partners.

The agreement contains additional restrictions on transfer,
including restrictions on subsequent transfers by acquiring
parties and transfers to parties against whom Sprint has filed a
patent infringement suit.

                       Covenant Not to Sue

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, each party agreed not
to assert infringement claims against the other party for any
party's current commercial business activities as of the date of
the agreement or previously provided commercial business
activities.

The company also agreed not to assert any other infringement
action against Sprint unless Sprint first files a patent
infringement claim against the company for activities not
licensed or not covered by the agreement.  The covenants not to
sue are non-transferable.

The agreement terminates on May 5, 2014.

* Insolvency Lawyer Louise Verrill Joins Brown Rudnick in London
----------------------------------------------------------------
Brown Rudnick, a premier international law firm, announced that
Louise Verrill has joined the firm as a partner in the European
Bankruptcy & Corporate Restructuring Group in the London office.
Ms. Verrill is considered by insolvency industry experts to be
one of the top legal minds in this field.  Her high profile
extends to her role as President of the Insolvency Lawyers'
Association, where she is the first woman to be elected to this
prestigious position.  Prior to joining Brown Rudnick, Ms.
Verrill was the head of Addleshaw Goddard's Insolvency Group in
London.

Ms. Verrill has a strong national and international client base.
She has extensive knowledge of and experience in corporate
recovery work, and advises on all aspects of recovery and
insolvency-related matters (both contentious and non-
contentious) including business restructure and turnaround.  Her
portfolio of clients includes hedge funds, investment banks and
other financial institutions, distressed institutional
investors, insolvency practitioners, and major corporations.

Ms. Verrill is the second dedicated insolvency/restructuring
partner to join the firm's growing European
insolvency/restructuring practice in London since Peter J.M.
Declercq was hired from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP to
spearhead the launch of a resident London team in December 2005.

Announcing the new appointment, Brown Rudnick CEO Joseph F. Ryan
said, "In late 2005, we launched a strategic plan to establish
and develop a London resident insolvency/restructuring team.
Since then, we have attracted top legal talent, and the addition
of Louise is a continuation of that trend.  Louise's global
presence and strong industry ties will be an asset to the
practice, and to the firm."

Ms. Verrill remarked, "Brown Rudnick's focused global expansion
reflects the firm's growing reputation as a contender in the
European legal marketplace.  I look forward to working with a
team of attorneys who have a reputation for smart business
development, quality and superior client service."

                            *********

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.
