STANFORD INT'L: Lloyd's Balks at Owner's Newest Legal Team Fees
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attorneys for the insurance company paying Robert Allen Stanford's
legal bills, Lloyd's of London, told U.S. District Judge Nancy
Atlas that the company refuses to pay for Mr. Stanford's newest
criminal defense team -- his fourth since being indicted on
charges alleging he had orchestrated a US$7 billion Ponzi scheme,
The Associated Press reports.  The report relates that the
insurance company said that it is already tired of supporting Mr.
Stanford's revolving door of attorneys and has already spent more
than US$6 million on lawyers from 10 firms to defend him.

According to the report, Barry Chasnoff, an attorney for Lloyd's
of London, said that the insurer had concerns that one of Mr.
Stanford's new attorneys, who was approved just last month, had
already asked to be released because of differences with Mr.
Stanford and the other new attorney on the case.  The report notes
Mr. Chasnoff said that several of Mr. Stanford's previous
attorneys left the case because the financier was difficult to
work with.  The report relates that in a latest hearing, Mr.
Stanford represented himself because his attorneys in the lawsuit
stopped working for him due to a "conflict of interest."

The AP says that Mr. Stanford told Judge Atlas that he has been
taken advantage of, has never seen any of the bills submitted by
his prior attorneys and doesn't know what work many of them
actually did.

Judge Atlas, the report discloses, set a hearing on June 3, 2010,
to detail how the US$6 million in legal fees for civil and
criminal cases have been spent.  "We are going to get to the
bottom of why so much money is being spent in Mr. Stanford's
defense," the report quoted Judge Atlas as saying.

               About Stanford International Bank

Domiciled in Antigua, Stanford International Bank Limited --
http://www.stanfordinternationalbank.com/-- is a member of
Stanford Private Wealth Management, a global financial services
network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under management
or advisement.  Stanford Private Wealth Management serves more
than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.

On February 16, 2009, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order
appointing Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and records
of Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company,
Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or
control.  The February 16 order, as amended March 12, 2009,
directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control and
possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve
the value of the Receivership Estate.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, 2009,
charged before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr.
Stanford and three of his companies for orchestrating a
fraudulent, multi-billion dollar investment scheme centering on an
US$8 billion Certificate of Deposit program.  A criminal case was
pursued against him in June 2009 before the U.S. District Court in
Houston, Texas.  Mr. Stanford pleaded not guilty to 21 charges of
multi-billion dollar fraud, money-laundering and obstruction of
justice.  Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, as cited by
Agence France-Presse News, said in a 57-page indictment that Mr.
Stanford could face up to 250 years in prison if convicted on all
charges.  Mr. Stanford surrendered to U.S. authorities after a
warrant was issued for his arrest on the criminal charges.  The
criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09- 342, U.S. District Court,
Southern District of Texas (Houston).  The civil case is SEC v.
Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S. District Court,

ALTO PARANA: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'BB-'
---------------------------------------------------------
On May 27, 2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its
'BB-' corporate credit rating on Argentinean forest company Alto
Parana S.A. and removed it from CreditWatch with negative
implications where it was placed on Feb. 10, 2010.  The outlook is
stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'BBB' rating on the
company's US$270 million notes due 2017, which benefit from a full
corporate guarantee provided by Alto Parana's parent company,
Celulosa Arauco y Constituci¢n S.A.

The ratings on Alto Parana reflect S&P's belief that the company's
99.97% controlling shareholder, ARAUCO, has sufficient economic
incentives to support the firm, given its strategic importance as
a key foreign subsidiary in Latin America.  The stand-alone
ratings, in turn, reflect the inherent operating risks in
Argentina; its narrow, mostly commodity-oriented product mix; and
its modest scale compared with rated peers; Competitive cost
positions in forest management, pulp production, sawmill products,
and panels partially mitigate these factors.

The rating affirmation takes into consideration S&P's opinion
that, even if Alto Parana is obliged to pay the tax claim
regarding certain income-tax deductions on a 2001 bond issuance,
the company would be able to pay the disputed tax through a
combination of internal and external resources, maintaining its
main financial metrics commensurate with its current stand-alone
ratings, for example its funds from operations-to-total debt ratio
of at least 20% and total-debt-to-EBITDA below 4x.  The
contingency tax totals about US$150 million (including principal,
interest, and penalties), but a potential near-term obligation
until the central matter is ruled would be about US$100 million,
as this figure excludes penalties.

S&P's local-currency rating on Alto Parana is three notches above
that on Argentina.  This reflects S&P's opinion that, in a severe
sovereign default scenario, Alto Parana would be able to generate
sufficient local-currency resources to meet all of its financial
obligations, in both local and foreign currency, without the risk
of direct sovereign intervention.

S&P's foreign-currency rating on Alto Parana remains three notches
above S&P's foreign-currency rating on Argentina and three notches
above S&P's transfer and convertibility risk assessment for the
country, reflecting the partial insulation from risk from several
mitigating factors.  Those factors include: the formal guarantees
the company has from ARAUCO; what S&P believes are strong
incentives for the firm to continue paying its foreign debt even
in a sovereign-stress scenario; the company's substantial foreign-
currency generation; and its well-extended debt maturity profile.
Alto Parana's liquidity position is adequate, mainly as a result
of its extended debt maturity profile and its good free operating
cash flow generation compared with cash interest payments of about
US$20 million per year.  As of March 31, 2010, the company had
about US$38 million in consolidated cash and cash equivalents
mostly allocated in its Brazilian subsidiary (and about US$7
million on a nonconsolidated basis), while consolidated short-term
debt including accrued interest totaled US$24 million.  Most of
Alto Parana's debt is in its US$270 million guaranteed bullet bond
that comes due in 2017.  Alto Parana's liquidity position benefits
from the financial flexibility provided by its parent's potential
support.  Liquidity could become pressured if the Court rules
against the company on its tax contingency.  In this event, S&P
expects that Alto Parana would reduce or even suspend dividend
payments and likely increase debt in order to meet the obligation.
The company has already approved retaining its 2009 earnings at a
shareholders meeting.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that ARAUCO would
still have the incentive to support Alto Parana under a distressed
scenario, and that the company will maintain its manageable debt
maturity schedule.  S&P could raise the rating if its assessment
of Argentina's country risk improves, which, in turn, would boost
ARAUCO's incentives to support Alto Parana.  On the other hand,
the rating and/or outlook could come under pressure if the
company's leverage becomes more aggressive (for example with a
total-debt-to EBITDA ratio consistently above 4x), if unexpected
significant sovereign indirect risk materially affects the
company's stand-alone business and/or financial risk profile, or
if S&P's perception of parental support wanes.

EQUITY TRUST: Moody's Assigns 'Ba2' Global Rating on Notes
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Latin America has assigned a rating of Aaa.ar (Argentine
National Scale) and of Ba2 (Global Scale, Local Currency) to the
Class A Fixed Rate and Floating Rate Debt Securities of
Fideicomiso Financiero Pvcred Serie II issued by Equity Trust
Company (Argentina) S.A. - acting solely in its capacity as Issuer
and Trustee.

Moody's also assigned ratings of Caa2.ar (Argentine National
Scale) and Caa3 (Global Scale, Local Currency) to the Class B Debt
Securities; and ratings of C.ar (Argentine National Scale) and C
(Global Scale, Local Currency) to the subordinated Certificates.

The assigned ratings are based on these factors:

  - The initial credit enhancement provided through a
    subordination of 77%, 20% and 2% for the VRDA TF, the VRDA TV
    and the VRDB, respectively.

  - The available excess spread in the transaction

  - The ability of Banco Comafi (Ba3/Aa2.ar) to act as servicer
    and custodian

  - The ability of Equity Trust Company (Argentina) S.A.  to act
    as trustee in this transaction

  - The credit quality of the underlying loans

  - The availability of various reserve accounts including a
    liquidity reserve fund equivalent to two interest payments on
    the VRDA and an expense reserve fund.

                       The Securitized Pool

The rated securities are payable from the cashflow coming from the
assets of the trust, which is an amortizing pool of approximately
8,360 eligible personal loans denominated in Argentine pesos,
bearing fixed interest rate, originated by Pvcred, a financial
company owned by Comafi's Group in Argentina.

These personal loans were originated through Pvcred branches
(using the trade mark "Provencred") and were granted to pensioners
and low/middle income employees.

                             Structure

Equity Trust Company (Argentina) S.A. (Issuer and Trustee) issued
three classes of Debt Securities (Class A Fixed Rate Securities,
Class A Floating Rate Securities and Class B Debt Securities) and
one class of Certificates, all denominated in Argentine pesos.

The Class A Fixed Rate Debt Securities will bear a fixed interest
rate of 11%.  The Class A Floating Rate Debt Securities will bear
a BADLAR interest rate plus 295 basis points.  The Floating Rate
Debt Securities' interest rate will never be higher than 20% or
lower than 13%.  The Class B Fixed Rate Securities will bear a
fixed interest rate of 52%.

Overall credit enhancement is comprised of subordination, various
reserve funds and excess spread.

                         Rating Rationale

The transaction has strong initial subordination levels of 77% and
20% for the VRDA TF and the VRDA TV respectively.  Also, the
subordination levels will increase overtime due to the turbo
sequential payment structure.

The transaction also benefits from an estimated 34.5% annual
excess spread, before considering losses or prepayments.

Moody's analyzed the historical performance data of pool's similar
to the one being securitized in this transaction to determine the
default assumption.  For the range of vintage data analyzed (from
January 2007 to November 2009), Moody's observed a relatively
stable performance of the orinator's portfolio in terms of
delinquency levels.  The highest delinquency level was observed in
the 2Q 2008's vintage, and it reach approximately 13% (90+
delinquencies calculated over the original balance) after 21
months of seasoning.  In assigning the rating to this transaction,
Moody's assumed a triangular distribution for losses centered
around the most likely scenario of 20%.  Also, Moody's assumed a
triangular distribution for the prepayments centered around a most
likely scenario of 20%.

Moody's checked the available credit enhancement levels using a
cashflow model that has been developed to incorporate a series of
structural features of the transaction.

Moody's considered how the cashflow generated by the collateral is
allocated to the different classes in the transaction.  To
determine the rating assigned to each tranche, Moody's used an
expected loss methodology that reflected the probability of
default for each series of notes times the severity of the loss
expected for each series of notes, in addition to other
qualitative assessments.

Moody's also evaluated the dependence of the transaction on the
collection agent, Pvcred S.A., which will collect loan payments
mainly in its branches.  The collection agent is obliged to submit
collections within 72 hours to the trust account.  Moody's believe
that this risk is consistent with the fact that the collection
agent belongs to Grupo Comafi (Banco Comafi is rated Ba3/Aa2.ar).
A future change in the ownership structure of Pvcred may have an
impact on the rating of this transaction.

                      Originator: Pvcred S.A.

  -- ARS 10,708,588 in Class A Fixed Rate Debt Securities of

EMAPA SERVICIOS: Creditors' Proofs of Debt Due on August 2
----------------------------------------------------------
The court-appointed trustee for Emapa Servicios S.R.L.'s
bankruptcy proceedings, will be verifying creditors' proofs of
claim until August 2, 2010.


MERCADO A TERMINO: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Global Issuer Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 long term global local
currency issuer rating to Mercado a Termino de Buenos Aires S.A.
On the National Scale, Moody's Latin America assigned a Aa2.ar
local currency issuer rating.  The ratings have a stable outlook.

MATba is a clearinghouse for futures and American option commodity
contracts (including soybean, wheat, corn and sunflower).

Moody's noted that MATba concentrates substantial share of the
soybean and wheat futures contracts traded in Argentina.  The
total commodities trading market, however, is relatively small,
thus reflecting in lack of diversification of MATba's customer
base and asset class.  The firm also faces competition from other
smaller regional clearing houses, which combined result in
business volumes being modest overall.

The rating takes into consideration MATba's modest earnings base
and non-diversified operations, which reflects the volatile nature
of the Argentinean operating environment, as well as the lack of
depth of the domestic derivatives market.

As with other clearinghouses and exchanges, MATba's key credit
risks include a) the business model relies on technology and
innovation, which demands investments; b) competitive threats that
could erode its market share and pricing power; and c) the
importance of risk management to deal with operational, credit,
market and liquidity risks.

Moody's notes that with its earnings generation -- EBITDA was Ar$
0.5 million as of December 2009 (six month period) -- MATba could
be constrained in its ability to expand its business scope while
maintaining updated its IT platform.  Moreover, limitations on
expanding its business volumes may imply that competitive threats
become more critical to its performance.

On the other hand, conservative margining process -- margins have
to be replenished before the beginning of each trading session --
as well as daily stress analysis, ensure close risk monitoring in
scenarios with considerable volatilities.  MATba's relatively
robust capital base, which represented 90% of total assets by end
of 2009, is also positive, as it is the lack of financial
leverage.

MATba counts with a strict admission process for parties aiming to
trade, and, as an entity regulated by the CNV (the equivalent to
the SEC in Argentina), it has to comply with existing regulations
related to auditing and trading best practices.

Mercado a Termino de Buenos Aires is headquartered in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, and had assets of ARS47 million and an equity of
ARS42.7 million as of December 31, 2009.

These ratings were assigned to Mercado a Termino de Buenos Aires
S.A.:

  -- Global Local Currency Issuer Rating: Ba3, stable outlook
  -- National Scale Local Currency Issuer Rating: Aa2.ar


SEMIT SA: Creditors' Proofs of Debt Due on June 7
-------------------------------------------------
The court-appointed trustee for Semit S.A.'s bankruptcy

The trustee will present the validated claims in court as
individual reports on July 28, 2010.  The National Commercial
Court of First Instance in Buenos Aires will determine if the
verified claims are admissible, taking into account the trustee's
opinion, and the objections and challenges that will be raised by
the company and its creditors.

Inadmissible claims may be subject to appeal in a separate
proceeding known as an appeal for reversal.

A general report that contains an audit of the company's
accounting and banking records will be submitted in court on

2009 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 09-12659).  The Debtor selected
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as Delaware counsel; Law Firm of
Appleby as their Bermuda counsel; UBS Securities LLC as financial
advisor & investment banker and Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as
claims and noticing agent.  The Debtors have tapped UBS Securities

December 31, 2008, ProtoStar's consolidated financial statements,
which include non-debtor affiliates, showed total assets of
US$463,000,000 against debts of US$528,000,000.

(US$200 million) and senior notes (US$200 million) to 'BB-' from
'B+/RR4'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The rating upgrade reflects the company's consistent improvements
in cash flow generation, comfortable liquidity; and continued
decline in leverage during the last several quarters.  The upgrade
also factors in expectations that the company will continue
lowering its net leverage, while maintaining an ample cash
position.  The company is exposure to fuel cost volatility and
other industry-related risks, such as revenue volatility, high
operating leverage and increasing competition.  The ratings
incorporate the high degree of sensitivity of GOL's operations to
changes in the macroeconomic scenario.

The Stable Outlook reflects expectations that GOL will maintain
its solid market position as Brazil's second largest airline and
that the company will continue to benefit from stronger domestic
demand for domestic air travel in the business and leisure
segments following the recovery in Brazil's economy.

Business Strategy Focused on Domestic Market:

GOL has a solid market position in the Brazilian domestic market
with a 41.4% market share at the end of March 2010; this segment
is benefiting the most from the improving Brazilian economy.  In
the first quarter of 2010 (1Q'10) and 4Q'09, Brazil's domestic
flight demand, measured by revenue passenger kilometers (domestic
RPK) increased by 35% and 39.3%, respectively, over the same
periods of the prior year.  While Brazil's demand for
international traffic increased at lower rates of 12.8% and 12.5%,
respectively, during the same periods.

The company has focused its operations primarily in the domestic
market and is taking advantage of the most profitable routes in
Brazil, and from its access to approximately 45%-50% of the
available slots in Brazil's most important airports.  This
business strategy allowed the company to maintain EBITDAR margins
around 20% during the last six quarters ended in March 2010.

Solid Liquidity, Cash 20%-25% Revenues:

Positively, the company dramatically improved its liquidity during
the last four quarters as well as GOL's commitment to maintain
specific cash targets in the range of 20%-25% over its last 12-
month period revenues.  The company ended the 1Q'10 with a cash
position of BRL1.4 billion, 2.5 times and 7.7x higher than its
cash position by the end of fiscal year 2008 (R$415 million) and
1Q'09 (BRL396 million), respectively.  Steps taken by GOL during
2009 to improve its liquidity included a capital increase of
BRL203.5 million and the issuance of BRL400 million in local
debentures due in 2011.  In addition, the company completed an
equity offering which generated net proceeds of BRL602 million.
The company also raised BRL255 million through the advance sale of
miles to Bradesco and Banco do Brasil.

Improving Cash Flow Generation, Further Deleverage Expected:

The rating upgrade includes expectations that GOL's net leverage
will be around 4x by the end of FY 2010 as the company continues
to improve cash flow generation, measured by EBITDAR and reduce
its net leverage.  EBITDAR improvements are expected to be driven
by higher load factors and lower ex-fuel costs, while yields are
not expected to improve.  During the LTM ended March 2010, GOL
generated BRL1.3 billion of EBITDAR, an improvement from BRL826
and BRL681 million during the comparable period in 2009 and FY
2008, respectively.

GOL's total debt adjusted for operating leases was BRL7.3 billion
at the end of March 2010, while its cash and marketable securities
balance was BRL1.4 billion.  These figures result in an adjusted
net debt-to-EBITDAR ratio of 4.7x for the LTM ended in March 2010,
which favorably compares with the company's net leverage by the
end of December 2008 and September 2009 of 11.0x and 6.2x,
respectively.  GOL's on-balance sheet debt totals BRL3.2 billion
by the end of March 2010 and consists of BRL1.8 billion of secured
debt and financial leases, BRL134 million in PDP loans, and
BRL687 million in local public debentures and perpetual bonds.
Lease expense for the LTM were BRL583 million, resulting in an
off-balance-sheet debt adjustment of BRL4.1 billion.

High Operational Risk:

GOL's operational results are highly correlated to the domestic
economy.  The lack of product and geographic diversification in
the company's business model is the result of the domestic
passenger segment representing approximately 90% of its revenues.
The ratings also incorporate the positive current business
environment affecting the domestic segment as the Brazilian
economy is expected to grow by 5.5% and 4.5% during 2010 and 2011,
respectively.  Negative changes in the macro economic scenario
could create pressure on ratings.

The company is exposed to currency risk as approximately 90% of
the company's revenues are denominated in local currency, while
its cost structure has a significant component in U.S. dollars,
representing approximately 60% of the company's total costs.  In
addition, the company's debt is mostly denominated in U.S.
dollars, segment that represents approximately 80% of the
company's total debt.  Also factored in the ratings is the
company's exposure to oil price volatility since fuel costs
represent approximately 32%-42% of its cost structure.


Over Capacity Risk, Increasing Competition:

Based on the company's fleet plan, over capacity risk is moderate
during the next two years, 2010 and 2011.  By 2013, the company's
increase in capacity, and thereafter, could potentially generate
some over-capacity and affect the company's cash flow generation.
GOL's fleet plan for the next two years considers the increase of
its operational fleet from 108 aircrafts by the end of March 2010
to 111 and 115 by the end of 2010 and 2011, respectively.  The
company's capacity will increase from 12% to 18% in 2010 in a
year-over-year basis, from 39.9 Available Seat Kilometers (ASK)
billions posted by the end of 2009.  The company maintains
aircraft commitments for years 2010 and 2012 of BRL772 and
BRL1.2 billion, respectively, while for 2012 and 2013 the company
maintains aircraft commitments of BRL842 millions and
BRL2.7 billion, respectively.  By the end of March 2010, GOL
maintains a standardized fleet compounded primarily of 737NG
aircrafts with and average age of 5.8 years.

Increasing competition has and will continue to pressure the
industry's yields during the next quarters with the main players
focusing more on absorbing demand through increased load factors.
Counterbalancing this increase in competition is the limited
access to slots in the Brazilian's airports, which will continue
to limit the access of new players while allowing main local
players to maintain strong markets positions.


EMBRATEL SA: To Merge Operations With Parent Firm
-------------------------------------------------
Embratel Participacoes SA and its parent, cellphone company Claro,
will merge operations, Rogerio Jelmayer at Dow Jones Newswires
reports, citing Folha de S. Paulo newspaper.  The two Brazilian
companies are controlled by Mexican businessman and billionaire
Carlos Slim.

According to the report, the newspaper, citing an unnamed person
close to the companies, said that the merger will take place in
the next two months.  The merger is designed to reduce costs, the
newspaper added, the report relates.

TAM SA: Fitch Downgrades Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings to 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded TAM S.A's credit ratings:

  -- Foreign and local currency long-term Issuer Default Ratings
     to 'B+' from 'BB-';

  -- US$300 million senior unsecured note due to 2020 to 'B+/RR4'
     from 'BB-';

  -- US$300 million senior unsecured note due to 2017 to 'B+/RR4'
     from 'BB-';

  -- Long-term national rating to 'BBB+(bra)' from 'A-(bra)';

  -- BRL500 million debentures issuance due 2012 to 'BBB+(bra)'
     from 'A-(bra)'.

The Rating Outlook for the long-term corporate ratings is revised
to Stable from Negative.

The downgrades reflect the deterioration in TAM's credit profile
due to higher leverage levels as a result of lower operating cash
generation.  TAM's weak performance largely reflects lower RASK
levels (lower yields and load factors) as a result of the adverse
operating environment for the airline industry during the first
part of 2009 and the strong competition in the market over the
last several quarters.  Despite the strong recovery of the
domestic market, yields are expected to show only a modest
recovery and the company's decision to further expand its fleet
should limit the benefits of growing market demand on its load
factors.  The Outlook revision to Stable reflects Fitch's
expectations that the company's net leverage will not recover in
the near term and will remain around 6.0 timeswhich is consistent
with the assigned rating category.

Business Position Continues to Support Ratings:

TAM's ratings continue to reflect the company's strong market
presence in the domestic air passenger transportation sector, with
a market share of 42%.  It also factors in the company's position
as the sole Brazilian airline operator in long-haul routes to
Europe and USA, which is strengthened by several code-share
agreements and recently, as a member of Star Alliance.  Further
factored in TAM's ratings is the high percentage of business
passengers in its ticket sales mix and the revenue
diversification.  The ratings also consider TAM's exposure to
fluctuations in jet fuel prices and exchange rates, the strong
correlation of its activities with the performance of the domestic
economy and competitive threats.

Competition Significantly Pressured Results:

TAM's EBITDA fell to BRL1.257 billion during last 12 months
ended on March, 31 2010 from BRL1.411 billion in 2009 and
BRL1.613 billion during 2008.  The spread RASK-CASK spread fell to
BRL0.5 cents in 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010 (1Q'10) from
BRL 1.2 cents in 2008 and BRL 0.9 cents in 2007.  The
deterioration in profitability was mainly driven by a contraction
in yields and load factor.  In the domestic and international
market, yields declined 18% and 16%, respectively, in 2009.  Load
factor decreased 2.7p.p in the domestic market and 3.1p.p in the
international market.  For the 1Q'10, load factor showed recovery
although yields continue to be pressured.  As a result, the
company's EBITDAR margin decreased to 14.3% and 12.7% in 2009 and
in the LTM ended in March 2010, respectively.  These margins
negatively compares with the margins of 15.2% reached in 2008.
For 2010, Fitch expects profitability to remain around 14%.

Limited Improvement in Cash Flow Generation Should Continue to
Pressure Leverage:

TAM's leverage is high.  High financial leverage is a result of a
lower cash generation in the challenging year of 2009 and the
effects of the company efforts to enhance liquidity through
capital market debt issuances after the cash disbursement related
to fuel hedge derivative instruments in amount of BRL591million in
2009.  By the end of March 2010, TAM's net leverage, measured by
adjusted net debt to Ebitdar, was 6.8x which negatively compared
to the ratios of 6.5x in fiscal year 2009 and 5.7x in FY 2008.
The ratings factors expectations that the company's net leverage
will not improve in the medium term as the company's fleet
expansion is expected to increase the company's levels of total
adjusted debt.  Fitch expects the company's net leverage to be
around 6.0x by the end of FY 2010.  Further deleveraging could
benefit credit quality.

As of March 31, 2010, TAM's total debt was BRL7.8 billion, mainly
comprised of long-term capital leases and capital market
issuances.  The company's total adjusted debt was BRL11.2 billion,
which includes off balance sheet operating leases of
BRL3.3 billion.  About 83% of TAM's total adjusted debt was
denominated in U.S. dollars or linked to the dollar.  With about
40% of its revenues tied to the dollar, the company does not hedge
the currency of its debt.

Solid Liquidity Helps Mitigate Industry Volatility:

TAM's liquidity remains solid.  TAM had BRL2.6 billion of cash and
marketable securities and BRL1.4 billion of on balance sheet
short-term debt as of March 31, 2010.  Of TAM's cash balance,
BRL98 million are restricted cash related to hedge contracts.  The
company's cash position covers 1.9x short-term debt obligations
and represented 26% of the net revenue or around 3.2x its monthly
revenue.  Derivatives hedge contracts should not have a major
impact on cash flow as for the last three quarter of 2010, TAM
expects disbursements of BRL108 million and BRL5 million in 2011,
considering oil prices at US$70/barril.  The current cash balance
also reflects the inflow of BRL657 million from the IPO of one of
its subsidiaries, Multiplus S.A.  Going forward, Fitch expects the
company to refinance large part of its short-term debt in order to
maintain its strong cash balance as the company's free cash flow
will remain negative during 2010.  Free cash flow in the LTM ended
March 2010 was negative in BRL36 million and for 2009, it were
negative in BRL75 million.


TRANSAX INTERNATIONAL: Posts US$392,013 Net Loss for Q1 2010
------------------------------------------------------------
Transax International Limited filed its quarterly report on Form
10-Q, reporting a net loss of US$392,013 on US$1,022,832 of
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared with a
net loss of US$279,227 on US$952,318 of revenue for the same
period of 2009.

The Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, showed
US1,225,498 in assets and US$8,933,180 of liabilities, for a
stockholders' deficit of US$7,707,682.

"The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of US$17,604,441,
and has a stockholders' deficit of US$7,707,682 and a working
capital deficit of US$6,322,257 at March 31, 2010.  Since
inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term
borrowings and the proceeds from equity sales in order to meet its
strategic objectives.  The Company's future operations are
dependent upon external funding and its ability to increase
revenues and reduce expenses.  Management believes that sufficient
funding will be available from additional related party borrowings
to meet its business objectives, including anticipated cash needs
for working capital, for a reasonable period of time.  However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
sufficient funds to continue the development of its software
products and distribution networks."

CHIQUITA BRANDS: Activists Demand Donation to Paramilitary Victims
------------------------------------------------------------------
Chiquita Brands International, Inc.'s president has received a
letter signed by 300 U.S. activists demanding that the company
donate all profits earned in Colombia to victims of the
paramilitaries that they funded, Brett Borkan at Colombia Reports
says.

"For 15 years, Chiquita paid millions for protection to the
hemisphere's most brutal groups.  Executives of the company knew
that they were growing bananas in dangerous war zones.  However,
instead of leaving the area and jeopardizing profits, they decided
to pay assassins to protect the company, despite knowing that the
armed groups they were paying were murdering innocent civilians,"
Ken Crowley, from the human rights NGO Witness for Peace, told
LaFM radio station in an interview, the report relates.  "Chiquita
knew that they were paying brutal assassins and terrorists.  But
even after their lawyers and the Justice Department required them
to stop paying [the paramilitaries], Chiquita continued the
payments to ensure for their million in profits," Mr. Crowley
added, the report relates.

According to the report, the activists demanded in the letter
that:

   -- Chiquita create a fund for the victims of the
      paramilitaries that contains the full amount of profits
      that the company earned in Colombia between 1989 and 2004,
      the period in which they claim payments to the illegal
      groups were made; and

   -- Chiquita fire the employees who were involved in the illegal
      payments.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
April 16, 2010, Bloomberg News said that Chiquita Brands was sued
by hundreds of families who claim relatives were kidnapped and
murdered after the company helped Marxist rebels in Colombia.  The
report related that the complaint filed in federal court in
West Palm Beach, Florida, represents more than 240 people who were
victims of violence.   According to the report, the plaintiffs,
using a 1992 law allowing Americans to sue U.S. firms over
terrorism-related deaths abroad, claim that the company aided and
abetted in the murders and provided material support and resources
to terrorists.  The company, the report recalled, was fined US$25
million after pleading guilty in March 2007 to engaging in
transactions with a terrorist group for paying Colombian
paramilitary militias US$1.7 million from 1997 to 2004.

AES DOMINICANA: Expects Part of US$120MM Debt Will be Paid Soon
---------------------------------------------------------------
AES Dominicana Energia Finance S.A. President Marco De la Rose
said that as of May 28, 2010, the Dominican Republic government

substantial installment from the State-owned Power Companies
(CDEEE) by the end of this month, The Dominican Today reports.

"They promised to pay us a considerable sum by the end of May, as
with just the exception of April what the International Monetary
Fund agreement stipulates has been complied with so far in regard
to the arrears with the power companies cannot be longer than 60
days," the report quoted Mr. De la Rose as saying.

According to the report, Mr. De la Rosa said he expects the
government to meet its commitment with the power companies
exactly, to guarantee the population a quality and efficient
service.

Meanwhile, the report relates that Mr. De la Rosa said that energy
output so far this year jumped 38% from with the same year ago
period; a rise he affirms shows the population is getting more

AXTEL SAB: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'B2'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Axtel, S.A.B. de C.V.'s
corporate family rating to B2 from Ba3 given expectations that
adverse competitive environment will continue to place pressure on
the company's operating margins and financial profile and that
there is limited prospects of Axtel's free cash flow turning
positive in the medium term.  The ratings outlook is negative.
These actions conclude the ratings review which started on May 7,
2010.

These issues were affected by Moody's action:

  - US$275 million of 7.625% Senior Unsecured Global Notes due
    2017: Downgraded to B2 from Ba3

  - US$490 million of 9% Senior Unsecured Global Notes due 2019:
    Downgraded to B2 from Ba3

The ratings outlook is negative.

Axtel reported significantly weaker than expected performance in
the first quarter of 2010 across virtually all of its business
segments.  Even the traditionally robust segments, such as data
services and integrated telecommunications services, experienced a
decline in revenue.  In addition, as anticipated, the high margin
business from Nextel Mexico continued to migrate to its own
platform during the quarter.  While churn rates have been
improving somewhat, the decline in revenues suggest the
competitive pressure continues to intensify for the company.

On top of the global trend of fixed-to-mobile migration,
competition in the telecom industry in Mexico has intensified in
the last couple of years as cable companies started offering
telephony services to their residential video customers, while
Axtel does not provide video currently.  In addition, incumbent
Telmex (A3, stable) has been aggressive in protecting its customer
base, both residential and business, placing pressure on
competitors to reduce prices and improve service quality.  Moody's
believes that this tough competitive environment will continue at
least in the medium term given the high probability that the large
diversified media company Televisa (Baa1, stable) will continue to
strengthen its telecom offerings by adding mobile telephony to its
current portfolio of DTH, cable TV, broadband access and fixed
telephony services.

While Axtel's current liquidity position remains adequate given
its large cash balance, the persistence of negative free cash
flow, in part due to the high capex requirements, would jeopardize
Axtel's liquidity should operating performance not improve
dramatically.  Axtel's ratings do not assume any significant cash
drain derived from the final legal decisions about current
disputes with Telmex and the mobile operators on interconnection
rates.

Axtel's B2 ratings reflect the company's small revenue size and
negative free cash flow generation.  In addition, the ratings
reflect the operating challenges arising from strong competition
from incumbent Telmex and cable TV operators as well as ongoing
wireless substitution.  Balancing these credit negatives is
Axtel's solid EBITDA margin and management's largely prudent
financial policies.

Going forward, if Axtel's revenues and operating margins do not
improve meaningfully, the company's ability to invest in growth
capex will be affected.  Although the company could incur some
additional debt as permitted under its bond indentures (incurrence
financial covenant of maximum 4 times debt to EBITDA), leverage
would increase to above management's target levels (of maximum 3
times debt/EBITDA).

The negative outlook is based on Moody's view that, if a rapid
operating turnaround is not achieved, Axtel's liquidity could
suffer, impacting its credit risk.

To the extent that Axtel is successful at increasing revenues and
margins to the point that free cash flow generation becomes
sustainably positive and interest coverage metrics improve, its
ratings outlook could be stabilized.  Conversely, should revenue
growth and margins flatten out or decrease further, its ratings
could undergo additional negative rating actions.  Specific
factors that could trigger a ratings downgrade include liquidity
erosion derived from weak operating results and further negative
free cash flow generation.  Moody's will continue to closely
monitor the company's interest coverage ratio, as measured by
EBITDA minus capex to interest expense, and debt/EBITDA ratio.  An
underperformance of the company's business or a major
acquisition/capital investment that drive adjusted debt/EBITDA
above 3.5 times for an extended period of time would also put
negative pressure on Axtel's ratings.

Before the action, last action on Axtel's ratings was on May 7,
2010 when Moody's placed Axtel's ratings on review for possible
downgrade.

Based in Monterrey, Mexico, Axtel is a competitive local telephone
company providing bundled products including voice, data and
Internet services to business and residential users within Mexico.
Axtel provides telecommunications services using a suite of
technologies including FWA, WiMAX, copper, fiber-optic, point to
multipoint radios and traditional point to point microwave access,
among others.  Axtel is the second-largest fixed line telecom in
Mexico with about 8% revenues market share as of March 2010.  At
present, Axtel serves 39 cities.  During the last twelve months
ended in March 31, 2010, the company's revenues reached
US$811 million with a 38% adjusted EBITDA margin.

as of May 27, 2010.  The shares will be subscribed for at a price
of MX$4.7487 per share, of which MX$0.00277661 will go to our
capital stock and the remaining amount as premium for the
subscription of capital, and will be deemed fully paid by a
capitalization of retained earnings.  CEMEX shareholders will not
be required to pay any consideration in connection with the
issuance of the shares.

Current CEMEX shareholders will receive 1 new CEMEX CPO per 25
CEMEX CPOs held, or, if applicable, 3 new shares per 75 shares
currently outstanding, and holders of CEMEX American Depositary

will be no cash distribution under any circumstance, not even for

made starting on June 7, 2010.  Only holders of record of CEMEX
CPOs or ADSs as of June 1, 2010 will receive new shares as a
result of the increase in the capital stock.  The new ADSs to be
issued will be distributed on or about June 8, 2010.  Each ADS
represents 10 CPOs.

As a result of all of the above, the conversion rate of CEMEX's
4.875% convertible subordinated notes due 2015 and CEMEX's 10%
mandatory convertible obligations due 2019 will be adjusted
accordingly.

COMERCIAL MEXICANA: Reaches Debt Restructuring Pact With Creditors
------------------------------------------------------------------
Anthony Harrup at Dow Jones Newswires reports Controladora
Comercial Mexicana SAB de CV (Comerci) has reached a debt
restructuring agreement with most of its creditors under which it
will issue around US$1.54 billion in new debt.  The report relates
that the company said that the agreement reached with a
substantial majority of its creditors will be put to a shareholder
vote on June 11, 2010, and also requires the approval of creditor
committees.  The company's prepackaged restructuring will be
carried out in Mexican courts.  In the U.S. the process will be
followed under a Chapter 15 proceeding.

According to the report, the company will issue new debt in pesos
and U.S. dollars with an average life of 6.7 years.  The report
relates that the new debt includes:

   -- loans for about MXN14.4 billion (US$1.12 billion) at
      floating rates,

   -- MXN1.89 billion in eight-year peso bonds at 9.25%,

   -- US$226.3 million in eight-year dollar-denominated bonds at
      7%,

   -- a cash payment of US$45 million on closing of the deal, and

   -- a lock-up fee for certain bond holders equivalent to 1
      percentage point of principal amount held.

The report notes James Harper, director of corporate research at
Connecticut-based investment bank BCP Securities, said that the
agreement was positive in that it includes previously reluctant
creditors.

Comercial Mexicana, Dow Jones Newswires says, didn't specify the
amounts to be paid to counterparties to its foreign exchange
derivatives, on which the company made big losses in 2008 as the
peso weakened sharply against the U.S. dollar in a couple of
months.  The report relates that the retailer had initially
estimated those losses at US$1.1 billion, although counterparties
had made claims for as much as US$2.2 billion.

The report notes Comercial Mexicana said that the new debt will be
backed by the company's real-estate holdings and stock.  The
report relates that the company's stores, restaurants, and its a
50% stake in a joint-venture with Costco Wholesale Corp. aren't
party to the restructuring, which is being carried out at holding
company level.

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA 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-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  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.
