ADVANSTAR INC: S&P Junks Corporate Credit & Issue-Level Ratings
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services said it lowered its corporate
credit and issue-level ratings on Advanstar Inc. and related
entities.  S&P lowered the corporate credit rating to 'CCC' from
'B-'.  The outlook is negative.

S&P also lowered the issue-level ratings on subsidiary Advanstar
Communications Inc.'s $515 million first-lien facility to 'CCC'
(the same as the corporate credit rating on Advanstar Inc.) from
'B-'.  At the same time, S&P revised the recovery rating on this
debt to '4' from '3'.  The '4' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation of average (30%-50%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on Advanstar
Communications' $260 million second-lien term facility to 'CC'
(two notches lower than the corporate credit rating) from 'CCC'.
The recovery rating is unchanged at '6', which indicates S&P's
expectation of negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

"The rating actions reflect Advanstar's weak operating
performance, thin interest coverage, and modest liquidity,"
explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Tulip Lim.  The weak
economy has reduced ad pages in the company's magazines.  It has
also affected the retail sector and led to reduced square footage
sold at MAGIC events -- the dominant U.S. apparel industry trade
shows.  "The motorcycle and aftermarket auto parts industries have
been affected," she added, "causing sponsorship declines for the
International Motorcycle Show tour and reduced advertising
spending in the magazines."


AGRIPROCESSORS INC: Sale May be Completed Next Week
---------------------------------------------------
Nigel Duara at The Associated Press reports that Agriprocessors
Inc.'s sale is expected to be completed next week.  The AP relates
that SHF Industries has presented a $8.5 million bid for
Agriprocessors, including land, building, and some equipment at
its plant in Postville, Iowa.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 25, 2009, Joe
Sarachek, the court-appointed trustee for Agriprocessors,
supported SHF Industries' $8.5 million offer for most of the
Company's assets.  SHF Industries needed to complete a sworn
disclosure statement disclosing any connections with any creditors
or parties in Agriprocessors' bankruptcy.

The AP states that SHF Industries took on Agriprocessors' debt at
a significantly cheaper price and would own the Company if a
bankruptcy judge agrees to the sale.

According to The AP, Mr. Sarachek said that "moving parts" remain
to be resolved in the sale process, but acknowledged that Monday's
auction clears the way for the plant to finally be sold.  The AP
relates that the auction puts all the money Agriprocessors owed
after declaring bankruptcy into one corporation.  The AP states
that the auction was for a total of $21 million in credit owed to
First Bank and MLIC Asset Holding of New York City.  The AP notes
that the pending sale would include Agriprocessors' New York and
Florida assets, which along with Iowa have served as collateral
for two loans.

Agriprocessors assets in the sale are valued at $25 million, The
AP says, citing Mr. Sarachek.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York
will decide on July 15 whether to sign off on the deal, The AP
states.

The AP reports that SHF attorney Anita L. Shodeen said that she's
positive that the sale will be approved next week.

Agriprocessors' Local Pride meatpacking plant in Gordon, Nebraska,
isn't included in the sale and will be sold separately, The AP
relates.

Headquartered in Postville, Iowa, Agriprocessors Inc. --
http://www.agriprocessor.com/-- operates a kosher meat and
poultry packing processors located at 220 North West Street.  The
Company maintains an executive office with 50 employees at 5600
First Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.  The Company filed for Chapter
11 protection on November 4, 2008 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-
47472).  The case, according to McClatchy-Tribune, has been
transferred to Iowa.  Kevin J. Nash, Esq., at Finkel Goldstein
Rosenbloom & Nash represents the Company in its restructuring
effort.  In its petition, the Company listed assets of $100
million to $500 million and debts of $50 million to $100 million.


AMERICAN AXLE: May File for Bankruptcy Protection
-------------------------------------------------
J.P. Morgan said that American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings,
Inc., might be the next auto supplier to file for bankruptcy
protection, Geoffrey Rogow at The Wall Street Journal reports.

J.P. Morgan, says WSJ, sees these possibilities for American Axle:

     -- covenant extensions,

     -- aid from General Motors Corp., and

     -- CEO Dick Dauch fighting to avoid Chapter 11.

Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, American Axle & Manufacturing
Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AXL) -- http://www.aam.com/-- is a world
leader in the manufacture, engineering, design and validation of
driveline and drivetrain systems and related components and
modules, chassis systems and metal-formed products for trucks,
sport utility vehicles, passenger cars and crossover utility
vehicles.  In addition to locations in the United States
(Michigan, New York, Ohio and Indiana), the Company also has
offices or facilities in Brazil, China, Germany, India, Japan,
Luxembourg, Mexico, Poland, South Korea, Thailand and the United
Kingdom.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 11, 2009,
Fitch Ratings said its 'CCC' issuer default ratings on American
Axle & remain on Watch Negative.

According to the TCR on May 14, 2009, Moody's Investors Service
lowered American Axle's Probability of Default Rating to Caa3 from
Caa1, and its Corporate Family Rating to Ca from Caa1.  In a
related action Moody's also lowered the rating on the company's
secured bank credit facilities to Caa2 from B2, lowered the rating
on the unsecured guaranteed notes to Ca from Caa2, and lowered the
rating on the unsecured convertible notes to Ca from Caa2.  The
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating was affirmed at SGL-4.  The
outlook is negative.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, American Axle's auditor, has raised
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as
a going concern.  Deloitte noted the significant downturn in the
domestic automotive industry which has an adverse impact on
American Axle's two largest customers.


ANDERSON HOMES: Court Sets July 23 Final Cash Collateral Hearing

July 23, 2009.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 20, 2009,

   Capital Bank                            $2.6 million

certain sale properties are James D. Goldston and William
Goldston, owed about $568,000; and Stock Building Supply, Inc.,
owed $1,562,942.

interim order dated April 24, 2009, is available at:

                    About Associated Materials

Based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Associated Materials LLC fka

- is a manufacturer of exterior residential building products,
which are distributed through company-owned distribution centers
and independent distributors across North America.  AMI produces a
broad range of vinyl windows, vinyl siding, aluminum trim coil,
aluminum and steel siding and accessories, as well as vinyl
fencing and railing.  AMI is a privately held, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Associated Materials Holdings Inc., which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of AMH, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of AMH II, which is controlled by affiliates of Investcorp S.A.
and Harvest Partners Inc.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 18, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its 'CCC+' corporate
credit ratings and negative outlook on AMH Holdings Inc. and
Associated Materials Inc., are unchanged following AMH Holdings
II's plan to exchange its outstanding 13.625% senior notes due
2014 for $20 million of cash and $13.066 million of new 20% senior
notes due 2014.  AMH Holdings II is an unrated entity and its
senior notes due 2014 are not rated by Standard & Poor's.

S&P says the ratings and outlook on AMH Holdings and AMI
incorporate a highly leveraged financial profile and a significant
increase in cash interest expense starting September 2009.
Following the completion of the exchange, there will be
$20 million of new senior subordinated notes due 2012 issued by
AMI in a private placement, partially offset by a reduction of
debt obligations at AMH II.


ASSOCIATED MATERIALS: Raises $18 Million in Issuance of Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Materials, LLC, on June 26, 2009, completed its
issuance of $20.0 million principal amount of its 15% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2012 to certain institutional investors.
Net proceeds of approximately $18 million from the sale of the New
Associated Notes, net of funding fees and other transaction
expenses, were used to repay indebtedness under Associated's
revolving credit facility.

In connection with the completion of the transaction, the Company
has entered into an Indenture, dated as of June 26, 2009, among
the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, as trustee.

The New Associated Notes will mature on July 15, 2012, and pay
interest quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and
October 15.  The first interest payment date will be July 15,
2009.  The New Associated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated
obligations of the Company.

The New Associated Notes rank pari passu with the Company's
existing 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and are
subordinated in right of payment to all unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Company.  The Company's payment obligations
under the New Associated Notes are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior subordinated basis,
by its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries: Gentek Holdings, LLC,
Gentek Building Products Inc. and Alside, Inc.  Gentek Building
Products Limited is a Canadian company and does not guarantee the
New Associated Notes.  The New Associated Notes are redeemable at
the Company's option, at an initial redemption price of 101% plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  This
redemption price declines to 100% on December 22, 2009.

The New Indenture contains covenants that, among other things and
subject in each case to certain specified exceptions, limit the
ability of the Company and of certain restricted subsidiaries: (i)
to incur additional indebtedness; (ii) to make restricted
payments; (iii) to incur restrictions on subsidiaries' ability to
make distributions or transfer assets to the Company; (iv) to sell
assets or stock of subsidiaries; (v) to enter into transactions
with affiliates; and (vi) to merge or consolidate with, or sell
all or substantially all assets to, a third party or undergo a
change of control.

The New Indenture provides for these events of default: (i)
default in the payment of interest, continued for 30 days; (ii)
default in the payment of principal when due; (iii) failure by the
Company to comply with its covenants, subject to applicable grace
periods; (iv) payment default after maturity, or acceleration
following other defaults, with respect to indebtedness of the
Company or any significant subsidiary exceeding a specified
threshold; (v) default with respect to any indebtedness of the
Company ranking equal or junior to the New Associated Notes, for
which all applicable grace periods have expired, which would
permit acceleration of more than a specified threshold of such
indebtedness; (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization with respect to the Company's indirect parent, AMH
Holdings II, Inc., AMH II's wholly owned direct subsidiary (and
the Company's indirect parent), AMH Holdings, LLC, the Company or
any significant subsidiary; (vii) certain undischarged judgments
or decrees for the payment of money exceeding a specified
threshold; and (viii) any guaranty of the New Associated Notes by
a subsidiary of the Company ceasing to be in full force and effect
for 30 days after notice or any such guarantor denying or
disaffirming its obligations under its guaranty.

If an event of default occurs, the trustee or holders of 25% or
more in aggregate principal amount of the New Associated Notes are
able to accelerate the New Associated Notes.  If an event of
default relates to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization, the New Associated Notes automatically accelerate
without any further action required by the trustee or holders of
the New Associated Notes.

In the event of a change of control of the Company, holders of the
New Associated Notes have the right to require the Company to
repurchase their notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101%
of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest
to the repurchase date.

Also on June 26, 2009, the Company said AMH II had completed
transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, dated
June 16, 2009, pursuant to which AMH II agreed with the holders of
its 13.625% Senior Notes due 2014 to exchange all of the
outstanding Existing AMH II Notes for $20.0 million in cash and
$13.066 million original principal amount of its 20% Senior Notes
due 2014.

The New AMH II Notes will mature on December 1, 2014, and interest
on the New AMH II Notes will accrue at a rate of 20% per annum,
payable quarterly in arrears.  Such interest may either be paid in
cash or may be added to the then outstanding principal amount of
the New AMH II Notes.  The New AMH II Notes are senior unsecured
obligations of AMH II.  Covenants and events of default with
respect to the New AMH II Notes are generally similar in type to
those provided for in the New Indenture.

On June 25, 2009, AMH issued new limited liability company
interests in AMH to AMH II in exchange for $15.0 million aggregate
principal amount of the 11-1/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2014 of
AMH, which notes AMH II had previously purchased at a discount to
face value in privately negotiated transactions.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 18, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its 'CCC+' corporate
credit ratings and negative outlook on AMH Holdings Inc. and
Associated Materials Inc., are unchanged following AMH Holdings
II's plan to exchange its outstanding 13.625% senior notes due
2014 for $20 million of cash and $13.066 million of new 20% senior
notes due 2014.  AMH Holdings II is an unrated entity and its
senior notes due 2014 are not rated by Standard & Poor's.

S&P says the ratings and outlook on AMH Holdings and AMI
incorporate a highly leveraged financial profile and a significant
increase in cash interest expense starting September 2009.
Following the completion of the exchange, there will be $20
million of new senior subordinated notes due 2012 issued by AMI in
a private placement, partially offset by a reduction of debt
obligations at AMH II.

an amount in cash each month, as partial liquidated damages, equal
to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for

BANKUNITED FINANCIAL: Restricts Equity Trading to Save NOLs
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida has
issued a ruling approving trading procedures and restrictions on
certain transfers of interests in BankUnited Financial Corporation
and its affiliates.

On June 30, 2009, the Court, upon the motion of the Debtors,
entered a final order (i) finding that the Debtors' interests in
BU's consolidated net operating loss carryforwards and certain
other tax attributes are property of the Debtors' estates and are
protected by section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (ii) finding
that trading in BUFC Equity Securities could severely limit the
Debtors' ability to use the Tax Attributes for purposes of title
26 of the United States Code; and (iii) approving the procedures
to preserve the Tax Attributes pursuant to Sections 105(a) and
362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Any acquisition, disposition or
other transfer in violation of the restrictions will be null and
void ab initio as an act in violation of the automatic stay under
Sections 105(a) and 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

These are the procedures and restrictions that have been approved
by the Court and which will apply to holding and trading in BUFC
Equity Securities:

(1) Definitions. For purposes of this Final Order:

     a) BUFC Equity Securities.  "BUFC Equity Securities" will
        mean the following securities issued by BUFC: (i) Class
        A Common Stock; (ii) Class B Common Stock; (iii)
        Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B,
        (iv) $184 million 6.75% HiMEDS Units issued 2007 (the
        HiMEDS Units).  For the avoidance of doubt, by
        operation of the definition of beneficial ownership, an
        owner of an Option to acquire BUFC Equity Securities
        may be treated as the owner of such BUFC Equity
        Securities.

     b) Substantial Equityholder.  A "Substantial Equityholder"
        is any person or entity that beneficially owns at
        least:

         (i) 4.75% of all issued and outstanding shares of
             BUFC's Class A Common Stock;

        (ii) 4.75% of all issued and outstanding shares of
             BUFC's Class B Common Stock;

       (iii) 4.75% of all issued and outstanding shares of
             BUFC's Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
             Series B;

        (iv) 4.75% of all issued and outstanding units of
             BUFC's HiMEDS Units; or

         (v) any combination of the foregoing BUFC Equity
             Securities identified in (b)(i) through (b)(iv)
             that, upon purchase, sale, or conversion, would in
             the aggregate constitute 4.75% of the issued and
             outstanding shares of either BUFC's Class A Common
             Stock, Class B Common Stock, or both.

     c) Beneficial Ownership.  "Beneficial ownership" (or any
        variation thereof of BUFC Equity Securities and Options
        to acquire BUFC Equity Securities) will be determined
        in accordance with applicable rules under section 382
        of the Tax Code, the U.S. Department of Treasury
        regulations (Treasury Regulations) promulgated
        thereunder and rulings issued by the Internal Revenue
        Service, and, thus, to the extent provided in
        those rules, from time to time will include, without
        limitation, (i) direct and indirect ownership (e.g., a
        holding company would be considered to beneficially own
        all stock owned or acquired by its subsidiaries),
        (ii) ownership by a holder's family members and any
        group of persons acting pursuant to a formal or
        informal understanding to make a coordinated
        acquisition of stock and (iii) in certain cases, the
        ownership of an Option to acquire BUFC Equity
        Securities, but not including BUFC's Senior Convertible
        Notes.

     d) Option.  An "Option" to acquire stock includes any
        contingent purchase, warrant, convertible debt, put,
        stock subject to risk of forfeiture, contract to
        acquire stock, or similar interest regardless of
        whether it is contingent or otherwise not currently
        exercisable.

(2) Notice of Substantial BUFC Equity Securities Ownership.
     Any person or entity that beneficially owns, at any time
     on or after May 22, 2009, BUFC Equity Securities in an
     amount sufficient to qualify such person or entity as a
     Substantial Equityholder will file with the Court, and
     serve upon counsel for the Debtors and counsel for the
     Creditors' Committee, a Notice of Substantial Stock
     Ownership (a Substantial Ownership Notice) specifically
     and in detail describing the BUFC Equity Securities
     ownership of such person or entity, on or before the date
     that is the later of: (a) 10 days after the entry of this
     Final Order or (b) 10 days after that person or entity
     qualifies as a Substantial Equityholder.  Should the
     holder elect to include such holder's taxpayer
     identification, the holder must do so in accordance with
     applicable federal privacy laws.

(3) Acquisition of BUFC Equity Securities or Options.  At
     least 20 calendar days before the proposed date of any
     transfer of equity securities (including Options, to
     acquire such securities) that would result in an increase
     in the amount of BUFC Equity Securities beneficially owned
     by any person or entity that currently is or becomes a
     Substantial Equityholder or that would result in a person
     or entity becoming a Substantial Equityholder (a Proposed
     Equity Acquisition Transaction), such person, entity or
     Substantial Equityholder (a Proposed Equity Transferee)
     will file with the Court, and serve upon counsel for the
     Debtors and counsel for the Creditors' Committee, a Notice
     of Intent to Purchase, Acquire or Otherwise Accumulate
     BUFC Equity Securities (an Equity Acquisition Notice)
     specifically and in detail describing the proposed
     transaction in which BUFC Equity Securities would be
     acquired.  Should the holder elect to include such
     holder's taxpayer identification, the holder must do so in
     accordance with applicable federal privacy laws.

(4) Disposition of BUFC Equity Securities or Options.  At
     least 20 calendar days prior to the proposed date of any
     transfer of equity securities (including Options to
     acquire such securities) that would result in a decrease
     in the amount of BUFC Equity Securities beneficially
     owned by a Substantial Equityholder or that would result
     in a person or entity ceasing to be a Substantial
     Equityholder (a "Proposed Equity Disposition Transaction"
     and together with a Proposed Equity Acquisition
     Transaction, a "Proposed Equity Transaction"), such
     person, entity or Substantial Equityholder (a Proposed
     Equity Transferor) will file with the Court, and serve
     upon the counsel for the Debtors and counsel for the
     Creditors' Committee, a Notice of Intent to Sell, Trade or
     Otherwise Transfer BUFC Equity Securities (an Equity
     Disposition Notice) specifically and in detail describing
     the proposed transaction in which BUFC Equity Securities
     would be transferred.  Should the holder elect to include
     such holder's taxpayer identification, the holder must do
     so in accordance with applicable federal privacy laws.

(5) Objection Procedures.  The Debtors and the Creditors
     Committee will have 15 calendar days after the filing of
     an Equity Acquisition Notice or an Equity Disposition
     Notice (the Equity Objection Deadline), as the case may
     be, to file with the Court and serve on a Proposed Equity
     Transferee or a Proposed Equity Transferor, as the case
     may be, an objection to any proposed transfer of BUFC
     Equity Securities described in such Equity Acquisition
     Notice or Equity Disposition Notice on the grounds that
     such transfer may adversely affect the Debtors' ability to
     utilize the Tax Attributes (an Equity Objection) as a
     result of an ownership change under Section 382 or Section
     383 of the Tax Code.

     a) If the Debtors or the Creditors Committee file an
        Equity Objection by the Equity Objection Deadline, then
        the Proposed Equity Acquisition Transaction or Proposed
        Equity Disposition Transaction will not be effective
        unless approved by a final and non-appealable order of
        the Court.

     b) If the Debtors or the Creditors Committee do not file
        an Equity Objection by the Equity Objection Deadline,
        or if the Debtors and the Creditors' Committee provide
        written authorization to the Proposed Equity Transferor

CENTRAL PARKING: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B-'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed all the
ratings for Nashville-based Central Parking Corp., including its
'B-' corporate credit rating.  At the same time, S&P removed all
of the company's ratings from CreditWatch, where they were placed
on March 24, 2009, with negative implications due to concerns
about the company's performance, extension of the CMBS debt
maturity, and future covenant compliance.  The outlook is
negative.  Approximately $438 million of total debt was
outstanding at CPC as of March 31, 2009.

The affirmation follows the extension of CPC's property company's
CMBS debt maturity for one year to June 2010, and financial
covenant cushion on the company's operating company that is
currently adequate.  The negative outlook reflects S&P's belief
that Opco could be challenged to comply with its leverage covenant
in early 2010, which continues to step down, and risks related to
the short one-year maturity profile of the Propco CMBS debt under
weak economic, commercial mortgage, and financial market
conditions, particularly in New York City, where much of its
assets are located.

"Reduced demand for parking spaces associated with increased
unemployment and generally poor economic conditions have resulted
in about a mid-single-digit comparable revenue decline over the
past several quarters," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Gerald Phelan, "which has substantially reduced parking revenue
and EBITDA."


CHENIERE ENERGY: Board OKs U.K. Assignment Letter for CEO
---------------------------------------------------------
The independent directors of the Board of Directors of Cheniere
Energy, Inc., on June 30, 2009, approved a U.K. Assignment Letter
on behalf of the Company and Cheniere Supply & Marketing, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for Charif Souki.

Mr. Souki serves as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President of the Company and will retain such positions with the
Company.  Pursuant to the U.K. Assignment Letter, a portion of
Mr. Souki's time will be spent in London commencing July 1, 2009.
The assignment is expected to last one year but may be extended
for additional 12-month periods not to exceed a total of three
years.  The assignment is anticipated to enhance Mr. Souki's
ability to conduct domestic and international operations on behalf
of the Company and Cheniere Supply & Marketing more efficiently
from a time and cost perspective.

During the assignment, Mr. Souki will spend a portion of his time
traveling internationally in order to assist Cheniere Supply &
Marketing in pursuing long-term arrangements to secure LNG supply.
Mr. Souki will be paid on a dual payroll basis whereby he will be
paid in both the U.S. and the U.K.  The amount of Mr. Souki's
existing annual base salary anticipated to be allocated to his
assignment in the U.K. is $216,000 and will be converted to
British Pounds Sterling paid on a monthly basis through the
Company's U.K. payroll.

During the assignment, Mr. Souki will receive an annual allowance
for temporary living arrangements in the U.K. in the amount of
GBP122,000.  The U.K. Allowance will be paid in 12 equal monthly
installments and will not be included in his base salary for
purposes of determining annual bonus awards.

If the assignment is extended, the amount of the U.K. Allowance
will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee to
determine if adjustments need to be made based on inflation.  The
Company will be responsible for direct payment of a finder's fee
for living arrangements in the U.K. up to a maximum of GBP10,000
and all fees, including reasonable legal fees, for preparation and
obtainment of the proper work clearances in the U.K.  Mr. Souki
will be responsible for the payment of his individual tax
liabilities in both the U.S. and the U.K. and for filing all
necessary tax returns.

Based in Houston, Texas, Cheniere Energy Inc. (AMEX: LNG) --
http://www.cheniere.com/-- is developing a network of three LNG
receiving terminals and related natural gas pipelines along the
Gulf Coast of the United States.  Cheniere is pursuing related
business opportunities both upstream and downstream of the
terminals.  Cheniere is also the founder and holds a 30.0% limited
partner interest in a fourth LNG receiving terminal.

As of March 31, 2009, Cheniere had $2.89 billion in total assets,
$3.33 billion in total liabilities and $238.9 million in non-
controlling interests, resulting in $683.9 million in
stockholder's deficit and $444.9 million in total deficit.


CHRYSLER LLC: Groups Urge FTC to Require Warnings on Risks
----------------------------------------------------------
Consumer groups filed a petition before the Federal Trade
Commission on July 2, 2009, requiring that Chrysler LLC vehicles
display stickers warning prospective buyers of liability risks,
The Washington Post reports.

Consumer Action, the Center for Auto Safety, the Center for
Justice and Democracy, Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety
and the National Consumers League asked FTC to amend the "used car
rule," which mandates window stickers that disclose purchasing and
warranty information, the report said.

The groups also reportedly proposed adding a warning that reads:
"This vehicle was produced prior to the date when the Chrysler
bankruptcy was approved.  If you buy this vehicle and are injured
or killed, even if your injuries were caused by the manufacturer,
you or your survivors will not be able to recover your losses by
taking action against the manufacturer.  If your passengers are
injured or killed, even if their injuries were caused by the
manufacturer, they and their survivors will not be able to recover
their losses by taking action against the manufacturer."

The groups' petition came after Chrysler LLC shed its obligation
for product liability claims on vehicles produced before May 30,
2009, when most of its assets were sold to a new company formed by
Italy-based automaker Fiat S.p.A. under their deal.

Chrysler LLC criticized the petition, saying the consumer groups
failed to uncover a "systemic defect that requires disclosure."

"Freeing a company from vexatious litigation is part of the
bankruptcy process and a means of assuring the company's viability
going forward," The Washington Post quoted Chrysler spokesman
Michael Palese as saying.

Steven Baker, director of FTC's Midwest region, said that they
take the petition "very seriously and will be giving it a hard
look."

CHRYSLER LLC: Intends to Settle MSX's Prepetition Claim
-------------------------------------------------------
Chrysler LLC and its debtor affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to approve their
compromise and settlement of certain prepetition claims of MSX
International, Inc., relating to the assumption and assignment of
prepetition contracts between them pursuant to Rule 9019(a) of the
Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.

Old Carco LLC, formerly known as Chrysler LLC, designated its
prepetition contracts and agreements with MSX for assumption and
assignment to Chrysler Group LLC pursuant to the Court-approved
bidding procedures.

Old Chrysler and MSX subsequently entered into a cure letter
agreement, pursuant to which they agreed (i) that the amount
necessary to cure prepetition defaults was $0, and (ii) on certain
trade terms going forward.  They also agreed that MSX would make a
lump sum payment of $9.7 million to resolve certain prepetition
claims.

Albert Togut, Esq., at Togut Segal & Segal LLP, in New York, tells
the Court that the MSX settlement resolves several issues between
the parties, including MSX withholding money from Old Chrysler to
cover MSX's perceived risks due to the state of Old Chrysler and
risks associated with a "rapid remit" component of its service
contract business.

A hearing to consider the settlement will be held on July 16,
2009, at 10:00 a.m.

CHRYSLER LLC: JMAC Wants Stay Lifted to Pursue Dealership Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
James Marsh American Corporation asks the Court to lift the
automatic stay to permit an administrative law judge to issue a
ruling on a case it brought against Chrysler LLC.

JMAC filed on June 18, 2007, a request for administrative hearing
and protest, challenging Chrysler's termination of their
dealership agreement.  It culminated in a four-day trial held
before Nevada Administrative Law Judge Toni Boone in June 2008.

Chrysler, to recall, sought court approval to reject 789
dealership agreements as part of the sale of its assets to Italy-
based automaker Fiat S.p.A.  The rejection was approved by the
Court on June 9, 2009.

JMAC says in court papers that its claims stemming from the 2007
proceeding are non-bankruptcy claims based exclusively on Nevada's
automobile franchise dealer law.  The dealer further says that the
only action left to be made in the proceeding is Judge Boone's
ruling, which is stayed by the bankruptcy protection.

CHRYSLER LLC: Motion for Access to Confidential Information
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Chrysler LLC's
case asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York to approve a stipulation with the Debtors regarding
creditors' access to confidential and privileged information.

The stipulation generally prohibits the Creditors Committee to
provide or disclose non-public information, which it receives from
the Debtors or their representatives to anybody except in
accordance with the provisions of the stipulation.

Non-public information includes confidential, proprietary
information concerning the Debtors or the Creditors Committee, and
other information, which if disclosed, would constitute a waiver
of attorney-client, work-product and other privileges of the
Creditors' Committee.

The stipulation also clarifies the Creditors Committee's duties
and obligations to provide the unsecured creditors access to
information, and provides for the implementation of a set of
protocols governing the dissemination of the information to those
creditors.  A copy of the stipulation is available without charge
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/ChryslerStipulationCommittee.pdf

                 KCC as Web site Agent

The Creditors Committee also seeks court approval to employ
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC, as its Web site administration
agent.

As administration agent, Kurtzman is tasked to establish and
maintain an internet-accessed webpage that provides non-
confidential information to creditors, and assist in the
implementation of the protocols.

Kurtzman will be paid of its services by the Debtors based on its
fee structure.  For consulting services, its personnel will be
paid at these hourly rates:

  Senior Managing Consultant           $295 - $325
  Senior Consultant                    $255 - $275
  Consultant                           $165 - $245
  Technology/Programming Consultant    $145 - $195
  Project Specialist                    $80 - $140
  Clerical                               $45 - $65

The company will also be paid of its other services and will be
reimbursed of its expenses.

The hearing to consider approval of the Creditors Committee's
request is scheduled for July 16, 2009.  Creditors and other
concerned parties have until July 13, 2009, to file their
objections.

CHRYSLER LLC: New Chrysler to Sell 4 Fiat 500 Models In U.S.
------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said Chrysler Group LLC will
sell four models of Fiat's 500 subcompact in the U.S., Bloomberg
reports.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Mr. Marchionne disclosed Chrysler
Group's plan to sell a convertible, wagon and sporty version
called the "Abarth" in addition to the four-seat subcompact in the
U.S.

"All of those cars will be coming to the U.S.  Fiat will be known
in the U.S. purely in terms of its 500 car," Bloomberg quoted Mr.
Marchionne as saying.  While the base 500 will go on sale next
year, Mr. Marchionne did not say when the other models will be
available.

In Europe, Fiat's small car can be equipped with a 1.2-liter or
1.4-liter four-cylinder engine or a 1.3-liter turbo diesel.  The
1.4-liter engine variant gets a combined, city-highway average of
36 miles per gallon under European regulatory standards, says the
report.

"Its biggest impact will be to spark interest in bringing people
back into the dealerships.  Given the fact that it is an unusual
car and quirky and cute, it is a good car for them," Bloomberg
quoted Aaron Bragman, an analyst with IHS Global Insight Inc., as
saying.

CHRYSLER LLC: Tarbox Appeals Dealership Rejection
-------------------------------------------------
Tarbox Motors Inc. and Tarbox Chrysler Jeep LLC, ask the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York to determine
whether the Bankruptcy Court:

  (1) correctly interpreted, applied and decided the facts in
      the case and the law including provisions of the
      Bankruptcy Code, in its June 9, 2009 sale order, and in
      its later June 19, 2009 opinion;

  (2) was correct in ruling that Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
      Code preempts and reigns supreme over the Rhode Island
      dealer statutes and state law rights held by the
      appellants, and in ruling that the appellants lost their
      statutory and other state law rights through a Section 365
      rejection of the franchise agreement, even though the
      rejections did not terminate the agreements;

  (3) was correct in its consideration of the evidence and
      finding that the Debtors met their burden of proof under
      the business judgment standard in finding that the
      decision to reject the appellants' franchise agreements
      was rationally made in good faith and that the decisions
      were not retaliatory nor otherwise in bad faith; and

  (4) whether the Bankruptcy Court otherwise committed
      reversible error in or through its June 9, 2009 order and
      the June 19, 2009 opinion.

Chrysler, to recall, sought court approval to reject 789
dealership agreements as part of the sale of its assets to Italy-
based automaker Fiat S.p.A.  The rejection was approved by the
Court on June 9, 2009.

COMPLETE PRODUCTION: S&P Cuts Corp. Credit Rating to 'B+'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Key
Energy Services Inc., Complete Production Services, and Forbes
Energy Services LLC.

"The rating actions primarily reflect S&P's expectations that
industry conditions, particularly natural gas, will remain weak
for the rest of the year and possibly well into 2010, continuing
to constrain an already weak financial performance," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Thomas Watters.

                     Key Energy Services Inc.

S&P lowered its corporate credit rating on Key Energy Services
'BB-' from ' BB'.  The outlook is negative.  The rating action
reflects S&P's concern that near-term fundamentals for the well-
servicing industry, particularly natural gas-related activity,
could weaken further in the second half of 2009 and possibly
remain weak well into next year.  Rapid and severe spending cuts
by the E&P sector have led to dramatic falls in earnings across
the sector.  Although Key could benefit from improving crude oil
prices, S&P remains concerned about the sustainability of recent
price increases and the willingness of E&P companies to
meaningfully expand oil drilling and servicing spending in the
near term.  As such, S&P expects Key's financial measures to be
below expectations.  S&P could lower ratings further if earnings
fail to stabilize in the second half of 2009, and expectations for
liquidity and financial measures continue to weaken.

                   Complete Production Services

S&P lowered the corporate credit rating on Complete Production
Services to 'B+' from 'BB-'; the outlook is negative.  At the same
time S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on Complete's
$650 million 8% senior notes to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  The recovery
rating on this debt remains at '3', indicating S&P's expectations
of 50%-70% recovery of principal in a payment default.  The
downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that Complete's operational
and financial performance will continue to decline because of the
company's exposure to the North American oil and gas market.  The
company's financial performance for 2009 will be very weak.  S&P
expects industry conditions, particularly with respect to natural
gas, could possibly remain weak well into 2010.  Also, as poor
industry conditions and weak gas prices persist through 2009 and
EBITDA continues to drop quarter over quarter, Complete could face
covenant issues, particularly with respect to its maximum total
debt to EBITDA covenant of 3x.  Weak operating performance for
several quarters, tightening liquidity, or breach of financial
covenants could warrant a downgrade.

                    Forbes Energy Services LLC

S&P lowered its corporate credit rating on Forbes Energy Services
to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  The outlook is negative.  The rating action
reflects the company's thin interest expense coverage, and S&P's
concern about Forbes' ability to generate adequate cash flows to
meet debt service requirements without a near-term recovery in the
well-services industry.  S&P expects 2009 adjusted EBITDA coverage
of interest expense to average a very weak 1.5x, leaving little
cushion to further earnings declines.  Given annualized first-
quarter adjusted EBITDA of about $35 million, annual interest
expense of about $25 million and $10 million of required debt
repayment in 2009, Forbes' ability to maintain adequate cash flow
and liquidity to fund debt service requirements beyond 2009 is
suspect.  Additionally, given its small market share relative to
rated peers Key Energy, Basic Energy Services Inc., and Complete
Production Services, Forbes' ability to benefit from any recovery
in utilization levels could lag peers.

COYOTES HOCKEY: Owner Wants More Info on Jerry Reinsdorf's Bid
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Sunnucks at Phoenix Business Journal reports that Phoenix
Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes' lawyers are asking the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Arizona to require more information on
Jerry Reinsdorf's $148 million bid for the team.

According to Business Journal, Mr. Moyes is also seeking
information from Mr. Reinsdorf's business partners and the
National Hockey League regarding the bid.  Business Journal states
that the Reinsdorf ownership team includes Phoenix attorney John
Kaites and sports executive Tony Tavares.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on July 2, 2009, the
NHL is supporting Mr. Reinsdorf's bid.  Mr. Reinsdorf offered $148
million to keep the Phoenix Coyotes team in Glendale, Arizona.
Mr. Reinsdorf's bid would challenge one from Jim Balsillie, co-
chief executive officer of Blackberry-maker Research In Motion
Ltd., who has offered $212.5 million on the condition he's allowed
to move the team to Canada.

Dewey Ranch Hockey LLC, Arena Management Group, LLC, Coyotes
Holdings, LLC, and Coyotes Hockey, LLC -- owners and affiliates of
the Phoenix Coyotes National Hockey League team -- filed for
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 09-09488) on
May 5, 2009.  The Debtors are represented by Thomas J. Salerno,
Esq., at Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, LLP, in Phoenix, and estimate
their assets and liabilities are between $100 million and $500
million.

Jim Balsillie, Research in Motion Ltd.'s co-chief executive
officer, offered to buy the Phoenix Coyotes for $212 million and
move the NHL team to Hamilton, Ontario, and the League balked at
the relocation proposal.  Mr. Balsillie was unsuccessful in 2007
when he attempted to buy and relocate the Nashville Predators, and
lost a similar bid in 2006 to buy and relocate the Pittsburgh
Penguins.

-----------------------------------------------
Ronald R. Snyder resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of
Crocs, Inc., effective June 30, 2009.  Mr. Snyder resigned for
personal reasons and not because of a disagreement with the
Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or
practices.  Mr. Snyder had previously resigned as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective March 16, 2009,
and had remained as a Director and an employee of the Company to
assist with the transition to the Company's new Chief Executive
Officer.

The Company also entered into a separation agreement dated
June 30, 2009, with Mr. Snyder. The separation agreement provides
Mr. Snyder the right to unilaterally revoke the separation
agreement during a period of seven days after the execution of
such agreement.  Accordingly, the separation agreement will not
become effective until the expiration of said seven day revocation
period.

The separation agreement provides, effective upon the expiration
of the seven day revocation period:

   -- Accelerated vesting of certain options to purchase
      Company common stock, as specified in the agreement.
      Stock options subject to acceleration may be exercised by
      Mr. Snyder until the original expiration date of such
      options.

   -- Accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards.

   -- Accelerated vesting of all unvested deferred bonus
      amounts, totalling $900,000, under the Company's Amended
      and Restated 2007 Senior Executive Deferred Compensation
      Plan.  Payments under the 2007 Plan shall be made at the
      time and in the form provided for in Mr. Snyder's
      deferral agreement under the 2007 Plan.

   -- Cancellation, pursuant to their terms, of 282,293 options
      to purchase Company common stock with exercise prices
      greater than $10.50.

Additionally, under the terms of the separation agreement, until
December 31, 2010, Mr. Snyder is restricted from participating in
certain competitive businesses and from soliciting employees and
customers of the Company, either directly or indirectly.  The
separation agreement also requires that Mr. Snyder forever keep
confidential all Confidential Information, as defined in the
separation agreement, and prohibits Mr. Snyder from disparaging
the Company.  Mr. Snyder also agreed to release the Company from
all claims he may have against it.

                         About Crocs Inc.

Based in Niwot, Colorado, Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) designs and
sells a broad offering of footwear, apparel, gear and accessories
that utilize proprietary closed cell-resin, called Croslite.  The
Company sells Crocs-branded products throughout the U.S. and in
128 countries, through domestic and international retailers and
distributors and directly to end-user consumers through its
webstores, Company-operated retail stores, outlets and kiosks.

                        Going Concern Doubt

Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Denver, Colorado, has raised substantial
doubt about Croc's ability to continue as a going concern.  As
reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on May 15, 2009, Crocs
reported first quarter 2009 revenues of $134.9 million, up 7% from
the fourth quarter of 2008 and down $63.6, or 32% from the first
quarter of 2008.  The Company reported a net loss of $22.4 million
in the first quarter of 2009 with a diluted loss per share of
$0.27, compared to a fourth quarter 2008 net loss of $34.7
million, or ($0.42) per share and a first quarter 2008 net loss of
$4.5 million, or ($0.05) per share.  Selling, general and
administrative costs are down 26% compared to Q4 2008 and down
6.2% from the same quarter a year ago.  At March 31, 2009, Crocs
had $446.9 million in total assets and $182.0 million in total
liabilities, resulting to $264.9 million in stockholders' equity.

On March 31, 2009, Crocs entered into a tenth amendment of its
Revolving Credit Facility with Union Bank of California, N.A.  The
Amendment extends the loan maturity date to September 30, 2009.

Crocs said it is talks to secure an asset backed borrowing
arrangement to replace its Revolving Credit Facility.  Crocs
cautioned the time period required to procure a new asset backed
credit facility may extend beyond the maturity date of the current
Revolving Credit Facility requiring Crocs to seek an extension of
that maturity date with current lenders.

CSWITCH INC: Fails to Start Up Chips Production; Shut Down
----------------------------------------------------------
Scott Denne at The Wall Street Journal blog, Venture Capital
Dispatch, reports that CSwitch Inc., faced with a tough
environment for chip start-ups, has shut down.

Doug Laird, CSwitch's co-founder and CEO, said that Company
started looking for a buyer after it failed to raise another
$10 million to bring its chips into production, Venture Capital
says.  Citing Mr. Laird, Venture Capital relates that CSwitch
abandoned the effort over a week ago when it laid off its 31 full-
time workers and started trying to sell its assets.

Venture Capital states that CSwitch had been sampling its
products, with the chips and software working to expectations, but
more financing was needed to produce them in larger quantities.
According to Venture Capital, Mr. Laird said that investors were
willing to support CSwitch but needed to see a new lead investor.

Mr. Laird said that CSwitch is in talks to sell its assets and
expects to have the process finished in about two weeks, Venture
Capital reports.

Cswitch Inc. is a maker of communications semiconductors.  Cswitch
made programmable logic chips, called Configurable Switch Arrays,
for high-bandwidth networking equipment.  Cswitch was founded in
2003 by Doug Laird and Transmeta veterans Godfrey D'Souza and Lou
Kordus.

E*TRADE FINANCIAL: Moody's Keeps 'B3' Long-Term Issuer Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service confirmed the B3 long-term issuer rating
of E*TRADE Financial Corporation, and the Ba3 deposit rating of
E*TRADE Bank, the company's thrift subsidiary.  Moody's also
raised to B3 from Caa3 the ratings on E*TRADE's outstanding senior
unsecured bonds.  The outlook on all the ratings is negative.
This concludes the ratings review originally commenced on April
29, 2009.

The ratings confirmation follows E*TRADE's announcement of the
results of the early round of its debt exchange tender offer:
$1.7 billion of its interest-bearing senior unsecured bonds will
be exchanged for zero-coupon 10-year senior unsecured
convertibles.  The exchange transaction requires the approval of
the Office of Thrift Supervision, E*TRADE's primary regulator; it
also needs to be approved at the shareholders meeting in August.
The rating action is predicated on Moody's expectation that the
exchange will be approved and completed.

The rating confirmation recognizes that the debt exchange would
result in significantly lower interest expenses and a longer debt
maturity profile.  In conjunction with E*TRADE's previously
completed equity issuance, this should improve E*TRADE's ability
to service its debt, and bolster its capital base to absorb future
losses in the thrift's mortgage portfolio.

"E*TRADE has taken a big step in strengthening its financial
profile by raising new equity capital and cutting interest
expenses," said Moody's Vice President, Alexander Yavorsky.
"Nonetheless, the mortgage portfolio remains a source of concern,
as does the still large amount of holding company debt."

The realignment of E*TRADE's bond ratings with its issuer rating
at B3 reflects Moody's current expectation that, following the
completion of the announced debt exchange, future exchanges of
bonds, if any, would not be performed as a means of default
avoidance.  Therefore, unlike the current exchange, they would not
be "distressed exchanges."

E*TRADE's annual debt service costs will decline by more than 60%
to $160 million from $360 million.  This should alleviate, to some
extent, the extreme pressure on the company to service a large
amount of holding company debt while making regular capital
contributions into E*TRADE Bank to keep it well-capitalized.
Additionally, because the exchanged bonds include virtually the
entire outstanding amount of E*TRADE's 2011 bonds, this pushes out
the nearest debt maturity to 2013, eliminating near-term
refinancing risk.

E*TRADE financial profile, and especially that of E*TRADE Bank,
was also helped by its recently completed equity issuance
($586 million in net proceeds).  In order to avoid regulatory
intervention from the OTS, E*TRADE Bank's leverage ratio (tangible
equity relative to tangible assets) must remain above the 5%
"well-capitalized" level.  Moody's recent scenario testing of
E*TRADE Bank's mortgage portfolio suggests that pre-tax lifetime
credit losses could be as high as $2.5 billion, net of existing
allowance.  Because these projected losses would far exceed the
bank's pre-provision earnings, remaining well-capitalized could
require ongoing capital contributions from the parent into the
bank, as has been the case in the last several quarters.
E*TRADE's newly raised capital and lower interest expenses make
this easier to accomplish.

The negative rating outlook reflects the still tenuous financial
condition of the company.  Ongoing mortgage loss provisions are
unlikely to permit a return to profitability in the foreseeable
near-term future, while greater than anticipated losses would
materially increase creditor risks.

E*TRADE's very high double leverage, and the consolidation of the
company's operating entities under the thrift, leave holding
company creditors not only structurally subordinated to those of
the thrift, but also make them vulnerable to any potential
intervention by the thrift's regulator.  Though less likely now,
following the company's capital restructuring, this possibility
will remain until E*TRADE's thrift portfolio's shows signs of
sustainable stabilization.  These factors explain the three-notch
differential between the Ba3 deposit rating of the thrift and the
B3 senior debt rating of the holding company.

The last rating action on E*TRADE was on June 17, 2009, when
Moody's maintained E*TRADE's ratings on review for a possible
downgrade (originally commenced on April 29, 2009) following the
company's announcement of a capital restructuring plan.

E*TRADE is a major online retail brokerage firm that reported a
pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $470 million on
$1.9 billion in net revenue in 2008.

These rating actions were taken:

Issuer: E*TRADE Financial Corp.

  -- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture Due 2011, Upgraded

ELAN CORP: Johnson & Johnson's Deal Won't Affect S&P's B Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings and
outlook on Elan Corp. PLC (B/Stable/--) remain unchanged,
following the recent announcement that Johnson & Johnson, through
a newly formed company, will acquire Elan's Alzheimer's
Immunotherapy Program.  Johnson & Johnson will invest
$1 billion in Elan and commit up to $500 million in R&D dollars
for AIP.  Elan's AIP includes the rights to the promising Phase
III prospect, bapineuzumab, a potential first-in-class treatment
for slowing the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

The development is clearly a credit positive for Elan, as the
$1 billion investment provides the company needed financial
flexibility and enables it to better address the $1.15 billion in
debt coming due November 2011.  Elan had roughly
$400 million of cash at the end of the first quarter 2009 and cash
burn was $90 million for the quarter.  Cash burn was approximately
$250 million in the full year 2008.  However, while the sale of
AIP will lead to a reduction in the company's R&D spending
(roughly $100 million in 2009, and $500 million over the next
three to four years), Elan will still likely experience negative
free cash flows over the near term.  Elan's prospects for
achieving positive free cash flows will also now become
increasingly dependent on Tysabri sales, which, while still
growing, have been slightly disappointing, because of concerns
regarding increased patient risk of developing progressive
multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a rare and often fatal brain
disease.

FILENE'S BASEMENT: Gets Court Okay to Hire Alan Cohen as CRO
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware authorized
Filene's Basement, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates to employ Alan
Cohen, chairman of Abacus Advisors, as chief restructuring officer
and to utilize staffing personnel of Abacus Advisors.

Mr. Cohen is expected to, among other things:

   -- perform general due diligence on the Debtors, including
      gathering and analyzing data, evaluating the Debtors'
      existing financial forecasts and budgets, and discussing
      the information with management and the board;

   -- review current liquidity needs and assist in modifying
      and update the forecast based upon current information,
      the CRO's observations, and other information as it
      becomes available, including evaluating existing
      forecasts, recommend and implement improvements to the
      forecasts process, and evaluate near-term liquidity
      needs; and

   -- assist in structuring and obtaining additional working
      capital financing, identifying potential lenders, and
      contacting the lenders.

The board of directors will have direct supervision of the CRO.

Pre-bankruptcy, Mr. Cohen received a $10,000 retainer.  He does
not have a prepetition claim against the Debtors.  Abacus Advisors
received a $75,000 fully refundable retainer in contemplation of
the staffing assistance that Abacus Advisors may provide.

Mr. Cohen will receive a $50,000 monthly fee, a $600,000 success
fee and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

The hourly rates of Abacus Advisors' personnel are:

     Managing Directors                   $600
     Senior Associates                    $500
     Associates                       $250 - $400
     Paraprofessionals                $100 - $150

To the best of the Debtors' knowledge Mr. Cohen and Abacus
Advisors are "disinterested" as that term is defined in Section
101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The store's name is derived from the subterranean location of its
flagship store, in the basement of the former Filene's department
store at Downtown Crossing in Boston, Massachusetts.

Filene's Basement, Inc. and its affiliates filed for Chapter 22 on
May 4, 2009 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-11525).  James E. O'Neill,
Esq., Laura Davis Jones, Esq., Mark M. Billion, Esq., Michael
Seidl, Esq., and Timothy P. Cairns, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl
& Jones LLP, represent the Debtors in their restructuring effort.
The Debtors listed $50,000,001 to $100,000,000 in assets and
$100,000,001 to $500,000,000 in debts.

Filene's Basement filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
August 1999.  Filene's Basement was bought by a predecessor of
Retail Ventures the following year.  As reported by the Troubled
Company Reporter on October 23, 2000, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
confirmed Filene's Basement's Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation,
filed on June 16, 2000.

Retail Ventures in April 2009 transferred the unit to Buxbaum
Group, which appraises and liquidates assets, for no proceeds.


FINLAY ENTERPRISES: $1.7MM Payment Deadline Passes; Lenders Mum
---------------------------------------------------------------
Finlay Fine Jewelry Corporation, Finlay Enterprises, Inc.'s wholly
owned subsidiary, failed to make a semi-annual interest payment of
$1.7 million that was due on June 1, 2009, to the holders of
Finlay Jewelry's 8-3/8% Senior Notes due June 1, 2012.  The
indenture governing the Senior Notes provides for a 30-day grace
period for the payment of interest.  Finlay Jewelry also did not
make the interest payment during the 30-day grace period, which
ended on July 1, 2009.  Finlay Jewelry's failure to make the
interest payment by July 1, 2009, constitutes an event of default
under the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

Under the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, as a
result of the event of default, the trustee under the indenture or
the holders of at least 25% of the Senior Notes may by written
notice declare the Senior Notes immediately due and payable.

As of July 2, 2009, neither the trustee under the indenture nor
holders of at least 25% of the Senior Notes have provided written
notice of the default or declared the Senior Notes to be
immediately due and payable.  An acceleration of the Senior Notes
would constitute an event of default under Finlay Jewelry's
11.375%/12.125% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due June 1, 2012
and Finlay Jewelry's 8.375%/8.945% Senior Secured Third Lien Notes
due June 1, 2012.

Finlay Jewelry's failure to make the Senior Note interest payment
by July 1, 2009 also constitutes an event of default under Finlay
Jewelry's revolving credit agreement, giving the lenders under the
Revolving Credit Agreement the right to accelerate repayment of
the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement at
any time.  Since February 2009, Finlay Jewelry has also been in
default of a covenant under the Revolving Credit Agreement
requiring the achievement of certain weekly targeted percentages
of sales and cash receipts and maintenance of cash disbursements
below certain targeted percentages.  Although the lenders under
the Revolving Credit Agreement reserve all rights and remedies
under the Revolving Credit Agreement and can accelerate repayment
of the outstanding balance at any time, as of July 2, they have
not exercised their right to accelerate repayment of the
outstanding balance.

Finlay Jewelry does not intend to make the interest payment on the
Senior Notes.

                        Going Concern Doubt

According to Finlay, its ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the successful implementation of its strategic plan,
the repayment of the amounts due under the Revolving Credit
Facility and its ability to obtain a new line of credit on or
before the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Agreement.  In
addition, Finlay experienced a significant operating loss in 2008,
it incurred an operating loss in the first quarter of 2009, and it
is expected to incur operating losses for the remainder of 2009.

"These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern," Finlay says.

On March 22, 2009, Finlay completed the sale of certain assets to
Bloomingdale's.  The assets included inventory and fixed assets
for the 34 departments that it operated in Bloomingdale's for a
purchase price of roughly $33.4 million.  The proceeds from the
transaction were used to pay-down a portion of the outstanding
balance under Finlay Jewelry's Revolving Credit Facility.

Finlay reported total assets of $430,023,000 and total liabilities
of $451,679,000, resulting in $21,656,000 in shareholders' deficit
as of May 2, 2009.  It posted a net loss of $28,669,000 on sales
of $159,321,000 for the 13 weeks ended May 2, 2009, compared to a
net loss of $11,011,000 on sales of $142,072,000 for the 13 weeks
ended May 3, 2009.

FORBES ENERGY: S&P Junks Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Key
Energy Services Inc., Complete Production Services, and Forbes
Energy Services LLC.

"The rating actions primarily reflect S&P's expectations that
industry conditions, particularly natural gas, will remain weak
for the rest of the year and possibly well into 2010, continuing
to constrain an already weak financial performance," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Thomas Watters.

                     Key Energy Services Inc.

S&P lowered its corporate credit rating on Key Energy Services
'BB-' from ' BB'.  The outlook is negative.  The rating action
reflects S&P's concern that near-term fundamentals for the well-
servicing industry, particularly natural gas-related activity,
could weaken further in the second half of 2009 and possibly
remain weak well into next year.  Rapid and severe spending cuts
by the E&P sector have led to dramatic falls in earnings across
the sector.  Although Key could benefit from improving crude oil
prices, S&P remains concerned about the sustainability of recent
price increases and the willingness of E&P companies to
meaningfully expand oil drilling and servicing spending in the
near term.  As such, S&P expects Key's financial measures to be
below expectations.  S&P could lower ratings further if earnings
fail to stabilize in the second half of 2009, and expectations for
liquidity and financial measures continue to weaken.

                   Complete Production Services

S&P lowered the corporate credit rating on Complete Production
Services to 'B+' from 'BB-'; the outlook is negative.  At the same
time S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on Complete's
$650 million 8% senior notes to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  The recovery
rating on this debt remains at '3', indicating S&P's expectations
of 50%-70% recovery of principal in a payment default.  The
downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that Complete's operational
and financial performance will continue to decline because of the
company's exposure to the North American oil and gas market.  The
company's financial performance for 2009 will be very weak.  S&P
expects industry conditions, particularly with respect to natural
gas, could possibly remain weak well into 2010.  Also, as poor
industry conditions and weak gas prices persist through 2009 and
EBITDA continues to drop quarter over quarter, Complete could face
covenant issues, particularly with respect to its maximum total
debt to EBITDA covenant of 3x.  Weak operating performance for
several quarters, tightening liquidity, or breach of financial
covenants could warrant a downgrade.

                    Forbes Energy Services LLC

S&P lowered its corporate credit rating on Forbes Energy Services
to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  The outlook is negative.  The rating action
reflects the company's thin interest expense coverage, and S&P's
concern about Forbes' ability to generate adequate cash flows to
meet debt service requirements without a near-term recovery in the
well-services industry.  S&P expects 2009 adjusted EBITDA coverage
of interest expense to average a very weak 1.5x, leaving little
cushion to further earnings declines.  Given annualized first-
quarter adjusted EBITDA of about $35 million, annual interest
expense of about $25 million and $10 million of required debt
repayment in 2009, Forbes' ability to maintain adequate cash flow
and liquidity to fund debt service requirements beyond 2009 is
suspect.  Additionally, given its small market share relative to
rated peers Key Energy, Basic Energy Services Inc., and Complete
Production Services, Forbes' ability to benefit from any recovery
in utilization levels could lag peers.

FLINTKOTE COMPANY: Files Supplementary Disclosure Statement
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Flintkote Company and Flintkote Mines Limited, the Asbestos
Claimants Committee and the Future Claimants representative have
filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
a supplemental disclosure statement in connection with the re-
solicitation of votes from holders of asbestos personal injury
claims.

On June 22, 2009, the Debtors modified their Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization, which was sent for voting in September 2008.  The
modifications affect only the Flintkote Asbestos Personal Injury
Claims, under Class 7 and the Mines Asbestos Personal Injury
Claims, under Class 8.  As a result of these modifications, all
the holders of asbestos personal injury claims are being asked to
vote again on the modified amended plan.

Other than the asbestos personal injury claims, the claims and
interests in the Debtors is identical to the treatment that was
provided to said claims and interests under the September 2008
plan.  As a result, holders of said claim will not vote anew on
the modified amended plan.

As proposed by Debtors to the Court, service of solicitation
packages will be made no later than August 7, 2009, and the
supplemental voting deadline by which ballots and master ballots
to accept or reject the modified amended plan must be received by
the voting agent will be September 21, 2009, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern
time.

                    Modifications to the Plan

A. Trust Distribution Procedures

   1. Change in Claims Payment Ratios

      The modified amended plan changes the claims payment
      ratio set forth in Section 2.5 of the Trust Distribution
      Procedures from the 88%/12% ratio contained in the
      original amended plan to an 80%/20% ratio.

   2. Change to Description of Valuation Factors to be
      Considered in Individual Review

      The modified amended plan changes the description of the
      valuation factors to be considered in Individual Review
      contained in Section 5.3(b)(2) of the trust distribution
      procedures to allow for consideration of results of cases
      in which a claimant's law firm has played a substantial
      role in the resolution of the cases even if the
      claimant's law firm was not the firm of record in such
      cases.

B. Litigation Neutrality and the Preservation of Third Party
   Causes of Action

   1. Changes to Litigation Neutrality Provisions

      In response to confirmation objections asserted by ITCAN
      that the original amended plan might impact upon the
      rights of co-insureds to shared insurance with the
      Debtors, the Plan Proponents have amended Section 12.3.2(b)
      of the Plan to clarify that the injunction set forth in
      12.3.2(b) of the Plan does not impair the rights of any co-
      insured of the Debtors (a) with respect to any Asbestos
      Insurance Policy or Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement
      or against any Asbestos Insurance Company and (b) as
      specified under any final order of the Bankruptcy Court
      approving an Asbestos Insurance Settlement Agreement.

   2. Changes to Preservation of Third Party Causes of Action

      The plan proponents have added language to Section 11.3
      of the modified amended plan to clarify that, on and
      after the Effective Date, Reorganized Flintkote may take
      any action to realize upon said claims, rights, or causes
      of action as it determines in accordance with its best
      interests and without Bankruptcy Court approval; provided
      that any determination to take action to realize upon
      said claim, right or cause of action related to the Third
      Party Causes of Action will require the consent of the
      Trustees or such other person as specified in the Trust
      Documents.

GENERAL MOTORS: To Promptly Terminate Pacts with 38 Rogue Dealers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corporation and its affiliates seek authority from
Judge Robert Gerber of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to reject, effective as of July 10, sales and
service dealership agreements with 38 entities.

On July 5, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets to NGMCO, Inc., an entity
sponsored by the United States Department of the Treasury.   As
determined by the Court in the Sale Order, the 363 Transaction was
the best, indeed, the only, viable means to save and carry forward
GM's business in a new enterprise that will maximize and realize
the going concern value of GM's assets.

Harvey R. Miller, Esq., at WEIL, GOTSHAL & MANGES LLP, relates
that as part of the transaction, a rationalization of GM's
extensive dealer network was essential in order for New GM to be a
viable company capable of surviving ever increasing foreign
competition and cyclical economic downturns.  A reduction in the
number of GM dealerships was a necessary component of this
rationalization effort, and was carried out by GM through a
comprehensive, objective and quantitative evaluation of each
Dealership.  In determining which Dealerships would not be
retained by New GM, the Debtors evaluated numerous factors,
including, but not limited to: minimum sales thresholds, customer
satisfaction indices, working capital needs, profitability,
whether a Dealership sold competing non-GM brands, Dealership
location and other market factors.

A leaner, more profitable Dealer Network with higher annual
vehicle sales per Dealership is essential to reducing GM's
staggering dealer support costs and a critical component of
helping to ensure the viability of New GM.  Indeed, the Purchaser
would not have entered into the 363 Transaction without a
rationalization of GM's underperforming Dealer Network.

            99% of Retained Dealers to Serve New GM

While the rationalization of the Dealer Network included a
reduction in the number of Dealerships, the 363 Transaction
allowed for the substantial majority of GM's dealers to continue
operations in New GM on a long-term basis.

These Dealers were offered a Participation Agreement, which
provided for their Dealership Franchise Agreement to be assumed
and assigned to New GM, subject to certain modifications. The
terms of the Participation Agreement and the supplement thereto
were reviewed with the National Automobile Dealers Association and
the GM National Dealer Council.  Over 99% of the Dealers that were
offered Participation Agreements signed and returned such
agreements.  This acceptance rate reflects both the fairness of
the proposal and the strong desire of the accepting Dealers to
support New GM.  Under the 363 Transaction, the Debtors will be
assuming and assigning the Participation Agreements to New GM.

              98% of Rejected Dealers Accept Pact

Importantly, with respect to the remaining dealers that were not
offered Participation Agreements and will not be retained as part
of the New GM dealer network on a long-term basis, GM did not seek
to abruptly reject and terminate their Dealership Franchise
Agreements.  Rather, GM offered the Wind-Down Dealers the
opportunity to accept "wind-down" agreements that will allow them
to stay in business until October 2010 so that they can -- in an
orderly fashion -- sell down their inventories and continue to
provide warranty and other services to their customers with the
continued support of New GM.

Although GM would have been well within its rights under the
Bankruptcy Code to seek to reject the Wind-Down Dealers
immediately (as was done in Chrysler's chapter 11 cases), GM
elected instead to offer these Dealers Wind-Down Agreements,
which will help minimize the financial and other hardships that
would have been associated with an immediate rejection and
dealership shut down. Not surprisingly, over 98% of the Wind-
Down Dealers accepted and executed the Wind-Down Agreements.
While the Debtors recognize that the closing of a business is
always difficult, it made a concerted effort to address these
situations in a fair and supportive manner and to provide a soft
landing for the Wind-Down Dealers.  GM believes that the
acceptance rate of the Wind-Down Agreements reflects the fairness
of the program.  The accepted Wind-Down Agreements will be assumed
and assigned to New GM as part of the 363 Transaction.

The alternative to the rationalization of the Dealer Network is
that GM would have been forced to liquidate - and all Dealerships
would have ceased to be GM dealerships, including the
approximately 4,100 Dealerships that accepted Participation
Agreements and will now continue to operate under New GM.

                     38 Dealers Not Parties to
                  Participation or Wind-Down Pacts

The Debtors made good faith efforts to gain agreement from all of
the Dealers, including the 38 dealers that have not entered into
Participation Pacts or Wind-Down Agreements.  For example, in
addition to written notice, the Debtors set up a dedicated call
center to contact each of the Affected Dealers to inform them
about the benefits of accepting a Wind-Down Agreement compared to
rejection.

Despite these efforts, the Affected Dealers, who represent less
than 2% of the Dealers offered a Participation or Wind-Down
Agreement, elected not to accept GM's offer.

The Affected Dealers have left the Debtors with no other
reasonable business choice than to seek the rejection of the
Affected Dealer Agreements.  After the closing of the 363
Transaction, the Debtors will no longer manufacture GM vehicles,
nor will they retain any rights to the GM vehicle brands that were
sold to the Purchaser under the MPA.  Therefore, the Debtors have
no business need or legal ability to continue any of the Affected

GENERAL MOTORS: Delays Filing of Form 11-K Annual Reports
---------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corporation informed the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 29, 2009, of its inability to timely file its
annual reports on Form 11-K for the year ended December 31, 2008,
for:

  (i) the General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate
      Employees in the United States; and

(ii) the General Motors Savings-Stock Purchase Program for
      Salaried Employees in the United States, which includes
      common stock of GM.

GM Controller and Chief Accounting Officer Nick S. Cyprus explains
that volatility within the markets throughout 2008 has
significantly affected the valuation of Plans' assets as well as
the redemption patterns of Plan participants.  He notes that the
Hourly Employees Plan experienced a decrease in Assets Available
for Plan Benefits of $2.9 billion for the year ended December 31,
2008.  Similarly, he says the Salaried Employees Plan experienced
a decrease in Assets Available for Plan Benefits of $4.4 billion
for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Mr. Cyprus further explains that net investment income of the
master trust investment funds is allocated to each participating
plan based on the Plans' interest in each investment fund compared
with the total interest of all participating plans in each
investment fund.  Against this backdrop, he stresses that
considerable amount of time is required to analyze the performance
and fair value of each underlying investment fund and to
accurately ascertain each of the Plans' allocable share of the net
investment income of the master trust.  He adds that further
analysis will allow for the determination of the appropriate basis
of presentation for the Plans' assets under generally accepted
accounting principles.

Mr. Cyprus, however, assures the SEC that audit of the Plans'
financial statements is underway and GM intends to file the Form
11-K Annual Reports within the extension period.

GENERAL MOTORS: Seeks Denial of Panel of Asbestos Claimants
-----------------------------------------------------------
General Motors Corp. and its affiliates filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York a
counterproposal asking Judge Robert Gerber to:

  (1) deny, without prejudice, the appointment of a legal
      representative for Future Asbestos Personal Injury
      Claimants; and

  (2) adjourn sine dine the request to direct the United States
      Trustee to appoint an Official Committee of Asbestos
      Personal Injury Claimants.

In its Annual Report to Shareholders for 2007, General Motors
Corporation noted that it had increased its reserve for asbestos
liability to $637 million based on "a reasonable estimate of our
probably liability for asbestos related claims projected to be
asserted over the next ten years."

General Motors also recorded these liabilities for asbestos-
related matters in its financial reports:

  Accrued Liabilities                Period Ending
  -------------------                -------------
    $627 million                     March 31, 2009
    $648 million                     December 31, 2008
    $628 million                     March 31, 2008

The magnitude of General Motors' projected ongoing asbestos
liability has been a matter of public knowledge and should have
been addressed by both General Motors and the Auto Task Force in
their restructuring activities, according to The Ad Hoc Committee
of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants.

The Debtors' proposed sale under Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code with Vehicle Acquisition Holdings LLC, a U.S. Treasury-
sponsored purchaser, suggests to immunize the Debtors and non-
debtor parties to the Transaction from legitimate state law claims
of present and future asbestos victims.

"Enjoining future asbestos-related claims and channeling [the
Claims] to a Trust pursuant to Section 524(g) would provide the
proposed Purchaser with unassailable protections from [the] claims
that are simply not possible without the creation of a Trust, the
Ad Hoc Committee's counsel, Sander L. Esserman, Esq., at Stutzman,
Bromberg Esserman & Plifka, A Professional Corporation, in Dallas
Texas, asserted.

Similarly, Mr. Esserman said, to the extent that the Trust is
funded by Non-debtors who will benefit by a channeling injunction,
having current asbestos claims processed and paid by a Trust would
result in a larger portion of estate funds being available to pay
other unsecured claims.

According to Mr. Esserman, the Court's ability to enter rulings
relating to the rights of unknown future claimants is limited by
the lack of a Court-appointed legal representative to protect the
Future Claimants' interests.

In this regard, the Ad Hoc Committee asked Judge Gerber to appoint
a legal representative for future asbestos personal injury
claimants and direct the U.S. Trustee for Region 2 to appoint an
official committee of asbestos personal injury claimants

GENERAL MOTORS: To Reject Agreements with Starwood Hotels, et al.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Having determined that these leases of non-residential real
property are not important to their restructuring, General Motors
Corp. and its affiliates seek the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York's authority to reject:

                                                    Rejection
Counterparty               Location                   Date
--------                   --------                ---------
Starwood Hotels &          Miramar, Florida        06/30/09
Resorts Worldwide, Inc.

RREEF America REIT         Kennesaw, Georgia       06/30/09
Corp. II, c/o RREEF
Mgmt. Co.

The Debtors relate they have vacated or intend to vacate the
premises on or before June 30, 2009.

The Debtors also seek the Court's authority to reject, effective
as of June 29, 2009:

  * an executory contract with BASF Coatings AG,

  * three executory contracts with National Car Rental System,
    Inc., and

  * an executory contract with NCR Acquisition Corp.

Furthermore, the Debtors seek the Court's authority to reject,
effective as of June 29, 2009, 71 executory contracts, which
primarily concern:

  (a) engineering services contracts for which the work has been
      completed or is no longer required by the Debtors;

  (b) human resources contracts regarding medical services that
      are no longer provided to the Debtors' employees or are no
      longer required;

  (c) utilities contracts and related agreements and settlements
      for idled or closed manufacturing plants of the Debtors;

  (d) purchase and sale agreements with costly remaining
      obligations that provide no corresponding benefit or value
      to the Debtors' estates; and

  (e) contracts relating the GM products and services that have
      been or will be eliminated as part of the Debtors' wind
      down process.

A list of the Rejected Executory Contracts is available for free
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/GM_2ndOmnibusRejection.pdf

               Debtors Respond to ETC's Objection

The Debtors maintain that they have determined to reject the
Environmental Testing Corporation Lease because it provides no
corresponding benefit or value to the Debtors' estates.  The
Debtors add that they have vacated the Property almost one year
ago and do not require the use of the Property for their continued
operations and wind down.

Accordingly, the Debtors note, the rights and claims of ETC
alleged in the Objection may be asserted as Rejection Damage
Claims but should not prevent the Debtors from exercising their
right to reject the ETC Lease.  The claims alleged by ETC in the
Objection will be appropriately resolved through the normal claims
resolution process, the Debtors aver.

                        *     *     *

these landlords effective June 30, 2009:

GLOBAL SAFETY: Receives $55MM Investment Bid From WL Ross
---------------------------------------------------------
Global Safety Textiles LLC received a proposal from funds managed
by WL Ross & Co. LLC to invest $55 million in a newly formed
entity that would acquire the assets of GST and its subsidiaries.
The new GST would have one of the strongest, well capitalized
balance sheets in the automotive industry with a limited amount of
long-term debt.  After the transaction, the new GST will be well
positioned to continue to expand its geographic footprint which
spans Europe, the Americas and China.

Georg Saint-Denis, President of GST Europe and Asia, commented on
the transaction, saying, "This new equity investment will enable
GST to continue to support its strategic international customers
who have benefited from GST's technological innovation and will
continue to enjoy GST's commitment to price competitiveness and
customer service.  GST's management and board believe that the WLR
transaction is the best alternative for GST at this time and that
we need to act quickly to preserve the value of our business.  Our
next step is to obtain our lenders' consent and we plan to
recommend that our lenders provide that consent as soon as
possible."

Wilbur L. Ross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of WL Ross &
Co. LLC, said, "We are excited to make a proposal that we believe
would put GST on a stable footing and ensure that it can continue
to support its key strategic customers in all the major car
producing regions globally. We expect that the proposed
transaction with our sponsorship will be key to continuing
relationships between GST and those customers." WL Ross & Co. LLC
and its funds have been involved in the automotive industry as an
investor in both Tier One and Tier Two suppliers.

WLR also delivered a DIP loan commitment for $25 million, which,
if accepted, will help provide GST with liquidity until the
proposed sale is consummated.

GST is a wholly owned subsidiary of International Textile Group,
Inc. Mr. Ross is the chairman of the board of ITG and certain
entities affiliated with WLR own a substantial majority of the
outstanding equity securities of ITG.  GST and certain of its
subsidiaries filed for protection under chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code on June 30, 2009.  The proposed transaction would
also be subject to higher and better offers, definitive
documentation and bankruptcy court and priority lender approval.


HAIGHTS CROSS: Extends Swap Offer for 2011 Notes Until July 13
--------------------------------------------------------------
Haights Cross Communications, Inc., said the expiration date for
its private exchange offer and consent solicitation to qualified
investors to exchange HCC's 12-1/2% Senior Discount Notes Due 2011
for shares of common stock of HCC has been extended until 11:59,
New York City time, on July 13, 2009, unless terminated or further
extended.

As of the close of business on July 6, 2009, the Company was
advised by the information and exchange agent for the Exchange
Offer that approximately $100 million (at maturity), or 74%, of
Senior Discount Notes had been tendered and not validly withdrawn.

Senior Discount Notes which have been validly tendered to the
Exchange Offer to date and not withdrawn remain tendered and
subject to the Exchange Offer.  Eligible Holders who have already
tendered Senior Discount Notes need not take any additional
actions to tender their Senior Discount Notes.

The consummation of the Exchange Offer is conditioned upon the
satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions including, among
others: (i) at least 95% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Senior Discount Notes being validly tendered for exchange and not
revoked, and Eligible Holders representing such Senior Discount
Notes delivering their consents to the Proposed Amendments; and
(ii) the execution of a satisfactory amendment to the Credit
Agreement.  In the event that HCC is not able to successfully
complete the restructuring, including the Exchange Offer, HCC
intends to explore all other restructuring alternatives available
to it at that time, which may include an alternative out-of-court
restructuring or the commencement of a chapter 11 case and plan of
reorganization, with or without a pre-arranged plan of
reorganization.  There can be no assurance that any alternative
restructuring arrangement or plan could be accomplished.

The Exchange Offer is being made, and the new shares of Common
Stock are being offered, only to Eligible Holders, who consist of
accredited investors, or persons other than U.S. persons, in a
transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933.  Any such securities may not be
offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

HENRY MILLER: Faces Involuntary Chapter 7 Petitions
---------------------------------------------------
Three real estate partnerships -- BNC Lake Jackson Village, L.P.,
Dallas Clubview Gardens, L.P., and Woodside Apartments, L.P. --
filed a petition on July 7, 2009, to place Henry S. Miller
Commercial LLC, formerly known as Henry S. Miller Commercial Co.,
in an involuntary bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in Dallas.
The petitioning creditors and related entities are collectively
owed more than $9 million by Miller.

On October 24, 2008, a Dallas jury awarded damages in excess of
$12 million against Miller and its former agent, Steven Defterios,
finding that they had committed fraud and made negligent
misrepresentations to certain partnerships managed by BNC Real
Estate.  On December 1, 2008, the 14th District Court of Dallas
County, Texas, entered Final Judgment in excess of $8.9 million,
plus post-judgment interest, against Miller and Defterios in favor
of seven of the nine partnerships.

The state court case, Dallas Bayou Bend Ltd., et al. v. Henry S.
Miller Commercial Co., cause no. 06-12902-A, centered around
Miller's representation of James Flaven, a Connecticut resident,
in his failed attempt to purchase eight apartment complexes and
one office building from the BNC entities. Miller's agent claimed
that Flaven was the scion of a prominent New England real estate
family and that Miller had verified that Flaven was to receive
adequate funding for the deal from a family trust. When the deals
fell apart, it was learned that Mr. Flaven was actually a truck
driver with no family money.

The partnerships were represented in the state court trial by Marc
R. Stanley and Roger L. Mandel of Stanley, Mandel & Iola, L.L.P.,
in Dallas. Howard Marc Spector of Spector & Johnson PLLC is
representing the partnerships in the involuntary bankruptcy.

"This case is a real tragedy for the partnerships' investors. The
savings of many hard-working people were wiped out by the actions
of Miller.  Now, Miller is refusing to pay what it owes and the
partnerships must act again to protect their investors," said
Stanley.

HOLOGIC INC: S&P Raises Rating on $1.725 Billion Notes to 'BB-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its issue-
level rating on Hologic Inc.'s $1.725 billion, 2% convertible
senior notes due 2037 to 'BB-' from 'B+', and revised the recovery
rating to '4' from '5'.  The 'BB-' issue rating is equal to the
corporate credit rating; the '4' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation of average (30%-50%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.  The higher issue-level and recovery ratings on
the convertible notes reflect the material reduction in the
outstanding balance of the senior secured term loans since S&P's
last review of these ratings.

The issue-level ratings on Hologic Inc.'s senior secured credit
facilities remain unchanged at 'BB+' (two notches above the
corporate credit rating) and the recovery ratings are unchanged at
'1', indicating an expectation for a very high (90%-100%)
recovery.

"The mid-speculative-grade rating on Hologic reflects its concerns
with the medical product company's aggressive growth, including
the challenges of integrating new activities, high debt leverage,
and technology risk," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cheryl
Richer.  Furthermore, the recession has negatively affected Breast
Health division revenues (about half of total revenues), as
hospitals cut back on equipment purchases because of budget
constraints.  Still, S&P expects growth in other business
segments, which reflects the annualized revenues of acquired
product lines, as well as organic growth, will experience only
moderate softness as a result of the economy.  Disposable products
reflect just under 60% of revenues.

JAZZ PHARMACEUTICALS: Pays Interest Under Sr. Secured Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc., paid to the holders of its senior
secured notes the interest payments that were due, but not paid,
on December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009, and June 30, 2009, for a
total payment of approximately $14.6 million.  The
$119.5 million principal amount of the notes is due in
June 2011.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals also delivered to the holders of the notes
financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, which
indicate that Jazz Pharmaceuticals had achieved as of June 30,
2009 net product sales at the level required to suspend its prior
obligation to maintain a minimum cash balance in an account that
is pledged to the collateral agent for the notes.  The requirement
to maintain the account was triggered in May 2009, and Jazz
Pharmaceuticals did not, at that time, establish the required
account.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals believes that it has cured all material
defaults under the agreement governing the notes, and that it will
be able to comply with the agreement on an ongoing basis,
including payment of future interest payments when due and
repayment of the principal amount of the notes when due in June
2011.

KAINOS PARTNERS: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kainos Partners Holding Company LLC of Greer, S.C., has filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
the District of Delaware, Lauren Shepherd at The Associated Press
reports.

According to The AP, Kainos Partners blamed its collapse on a
sales decline that made it impossible for the Company to meet its
loan obligations.  Kainos Partners Chief Operating Officer Bart
Thorne said in court documents that the downturn in the economy
and increasing food costs resulted in the Company's bankruptcy
filing, as fewer consumers frequented restaurants to save cash.
Kainos Partners also discovered in January that its chief
financial officer had used company assets for personal purposes,
leading to that executive's dismissal, The AP relates.

Court documents say that Kainos Partners listed $10 million to $50
million in assets and $10 million to $50 million in liabilities.

Kainos Partners Holding Company LLC of Greer, S.C., is a
franchisee of doughnut and coffee chain Dunkin' Donuts.  It
operates 56 Dunkin' Donuts locations in New York, South Carolina
and Nevada and employs about 700 people.  The Company has eight
stores under construction.

KEY ENERGY: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'BB-'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Key
Energy Services Inc., Complete Production Services, and Forbes
Energy Services LLC.

"The rating actions primarily reflect S&P's expectations that
industry conditions, particularly natural gas, will remain weak
for the rest of the year and possibly well into 2010, continuing
to constrain an already weak financial performance," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Thomas Watters.

                     Key Energy Services Inc.

S&P lowered its corporate credit rating on Key Energy Services
'BB-' from ' BB'.  The outlook is negative.  The rating action
reflects S&P's concern that near-term fundamentals for the well-
servicing industry, particularly natural gas-related activity,
could weaken further in the second half of 2009 and possibly
remain weak well into next year.  Rapid and severe spending cuts
by the E&P sector have led to dramatic falls in earnings across
the sector.  Although Key could benefit from improving crude oil
prices, S&P remains concerned about the sustainability of recent
price increases and the willingness of E&P companies to
meaningfully expand oil drilling and servicing spending in the
near term.  As such, S&P expects Key's financial measures to be
below expectations.  S&P could lower ratings further if earnings
fail to stabilize in the second half of 2009, and expectations for
liquidity and financial measures continue to weaken.

                   Complete Production Services

S&P lowered the corporate credit rating on Complete Production
Services to 'B+' from 'BB-'; the outlook is negative.  At the same
time S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on Complete's
$650 million 8% senior notes to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  The recovery
rating on this debt remains at '3', indicating S&P's expectations
of 50%-70% recovery of principal in a payment default.  The
downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that Complete's operational
and financial performance will continue to decline because of the
company's exposure to the North American oil and gas market.  The
company's financial performance for 2009 will be very weak.  S&P
expects industry conditions, particularly with respect to natural
gas, could possibly remain weak well into 2010.  Also, as poor
industry conditions and weak gas prices persist through 2009 and
EBITDA continues to drop quarter over quarter, Complete could face
covenant issues, particularly with respect to its maximum total
debt to EBITDA covenant of 3x.  Weak operating performance for
several quarters, tightening liquidity, or breach of financial
covenants could warrant a downgrade.

                    Forbes Energy Services LLC

S&P lowered its corporate credit rating on Forbes Energy Services
to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  The outlook is negative.  The rating action
reflects the company's thin interest expense coverage, and S&P's
concern about Forbes' ability to generate adequate cash flows to
meet debt service requirements without a near-term recovery in the
well-services industry.  S&P expects 2009 adjusted EBITDA coverage
of interest expense to average a very weak 1.5x, leaving little
cushion to further earnings declines.  Given annualized first-
quarter adjusted EBITDA of about $35 million, annual interest
expense of about $25 million and $10 million of required debt
repayment in 2009, Forbes' ability to maintain adequate cash flow
and liquidity to fund debt service requirements beyond 2009 is
suspect.  Additionally, given its small market share relative to
rated peers Key Energy, Basic Energy Services Inc., and Complete
Production Services, Forbes' ability to benefit from any recovery
in utilization levels could lag peers.

LANDMARK FBO: S&P Removes 'B-' Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it removed its
ratings on aviation support provider Landmark FBO LLC, including
the 'B-' corporate credit rating, at the company's request.  The
Houston, Texas-based company has about
$335 million of debt.

"The previous 'B-' long-term corporate credit rating on Landmark
reflected the company's very high debt leverage, very weak cash
flow protection measures, limited liquidity, the risks associated
with the cyclical and competitive general aviation market, which
is now in a sharp downturn, and modest earnings and cash flow,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Roman Szuper.  These factors
far outweigh Landmark's position as the third-largest provider of
fixed-base operations services, with 2008 revenues of about $400
million.  The scarcity of airport leases that provide considerable
barriers to entry further enhance the company's position.


LEAR CORP: Files for Ch 11 Bankruptcy; Plan Has Creditors' Okay
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lear Corp. has received the support it was seeking from its bank
lenders and bondholders to move forward with its debt
restructuring plan.  To implement the restructuring, Lear and
certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries have filed voluntary
petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code.  Lear's subsidiaries outside
the U.S. and Canada are not part of the Chapter 11 filings.

On July 1, the Company said it had reached an agreement in
principle regarding a consensual debt restructuring with steering
committees representing its secured lenders and its bondholders.
At that time, the plan had the support of a majority of the
members of a steering committee of the Company's secured lenders
and a steering committee of bondholders acting on behalf of an ad
hoc group of bondholders.  Since then, the Company has secured
support from additional secured lenders and bondholders and has
entered into agreements supporting the restructuring plan with
approximately 68% in principal amount of its secured lenders and
more than 50% in principal amount of its bondholders.

Under the proposed restructuring plan, which needs to be approved
by the Bankruptcy Court, Lear's trade creditors will be paid in
full subject to certain limited exceptions.  The Company has filed
motions seeking to continue to pay trade creditors under normal
terms in the ordinary course of business.

The Company also said that it has sought approval from the
Bankruptcy Court to continue to provide pay and benefits to its
employees worldwide without interruption and to continue its
normal course funding of its pension obligations in the U.S. and
Canada.

Bob Rossiter, Lear's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and
President, said, "We are conducting business as usual and are very
pleased to have received strong support from our lender and
bondholder groups for our debt restructuring plan.  We intend to
proceed on an expedited basis and expect to submit the plan to the
Bankruptcy Court within 60 days.  Our goal is to emerge from this
process quickly and with an appropriate capital structure to
support our long-term business objectives as a leading global
competitor with the financial flexibility to build on our
strengths and take advantage of future growth opportunities."

The Company has received commitments from a syndicate of secured
lenders, led by J.P. Morgan and Citigroup, for $500 million in new
money debtor-in-possession financing.  The proposed DIP financing,
subject to customary conditions, provides additional financial
flexibility that supplements Lear's significant existing cash
balances.  The DIP agreement includes provisions that, subject to
certain conditions, provide for exit financing upon Lear's
emergence from Chapter 11.

Lear has filed several other customary "first day motions" with
the Bankruptcy Court, including with respect to its cash
management procedures, which will help it to continue conducting
business without interruption while it pursues its restructuring
on an expedited basis.

Lear's legal advisors are Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Winston &
Strawn LLP; its restructuring advisor is Alvarez & Marsal; and its
financial advisor is Miller Buckfire & Co.

Law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is representing JP Morgan
as administrative agent for Lear Corp.'s senior secured lenders,
including pre-petition credit agreement lenders, DIP lenders and
exit/emergence lenders.  The Simpson Thacher team includes
bankruptcy partner Ken Ziman and financial services partner JT
Knight.

                   Prepetition Capital Structure

As of May 30, 2009, Lear listed total assets of $1,270,800,000
and $4,536,000,000 in total liabilities.

Lear's principal capital structure consists of secured revolving
and term loan facilities, senior unsecured notes and equity.  As
of July 7, 2009, the Company had approximately $3.6 billion of
funded debt.  Its long-term prepetition debt structure is
principally comprised of:

  (a) a Senior Credit Facility;
  (b) 2013 and 2016 Senior Notes;
  (c) 2014 Senior Notes; and
  (d) Zero Coupon Convertible Notes.

A. Senior Secured Debt

On April 25, 2006, Lear Corp., Lear Canada, Lear Corporation
Sweden AB, Lear Financial Services (Netherlands) B.V., Lear
Corporation (UK) Limited and Lear Corporation Mexico, S.A. de
C.V. entered into the Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee
Agreement with a syndicate of institutions led by J.P. Morgan
Chase Bank, N.A., acting as general administrative agent, and The
Bank of Nova Scotia, acting as the Canadian administrative agent.
The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for aggregate
commitments of $2.289 billion, consisting of (a) a maximum
revolving credit facility of $1.289 billion, and (b) a $1 billion
term loan.

On June 30, 2009, Lear did not make required payments in an
aggregate amount of $7.15 million due and payable under the
Senior Credit Facility.  In addition, as of July 1, 2009, Lear is
not in compliance with the leverage ratio and interest ratio
covenants and certain other provisions contained in the Senior
Credit Facility.  As a result, Lear is in default under the
Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Credit Facility lenders may
accelerate Lear's obligations under the facility upon the vote of
the lenders holding a majority of outstanding commitments and
borrowings and exercise all other remedies available under the
Senior Credit Facility.

As of June 1, 2009, Lear had approximately $1.265 billion
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, of which
$464 million will mature on March 23, 2010, and $801.2 million
will mature on January 31, 2012, which includes approximately
$73.2 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the
Revolving Credit Facility.

As of July 7, 2009, the total amount outstanding under the Term
Facility was $985 million, which matures in installments with the
balance due and payable in its entirety on April 25, 2012.

The Company has the ability under the Revolving Credit Facility
to enter into hedging arrangements to mitigate its risk against
fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign
exchange rates.  Prior to July 7, 2009, Lear entered
into several secured hedging arrangements with certain of the
Revolving Credit Facility lenders.

B. Unsecured Debt

As of July 7, 2009, Lear had outstanding approximately
$1.29 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
notes, comprised of:

  (a) the unsecured 8.5% senior notes due 2013 and the unsecured
      8.75% senior notes due 2016;

  (b) the unsecured 5.75% senior notes due 2014; and

  (c) the unsecured zero-coupon convertible senior notes due
      2022.

The Senior Unsecured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a
senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors, jointly and severally.

* 2013 and 2016 Senior Note

Lear issued the 2013 and 2016 Senior Notes under the Indenture
dated November 24, 2006.  The Bank of New York Trust Company,
N.A. is the trustee.  The 2013 and 2016 Senior Notes are
unsecured and rank equally with Lear's other unsecured senior
indebtedness, including the other Senior Unsecured Notes, and
contain covenants restricting Lear's ability to incur liens and
to enter into sale and leaseback transactions.  The interest on
the 2013 and 2016 Senior Notes is payable on June 1 and
December 1 of each year.  As of June 1, 2009, approximately
$887.25 million in aggregate principal amount of 2013 and 2016
Senior Notes remained outstanding.

On June 1, 2009, the Debtors failed to make semiannual interest
payments of approximately $38.4 million due on the 2013 and 2016
Senior Notes and opted instead to utilize the 30-day grace period
applicable to the interest payments.  As Lear did not make the
interest payment on either of the 2013 and 2016 Senior Notes by
the expiration of the 30-day grace period, Lear is in default
under each of the 2013 and 2016 Senior Notes and the holders of
25% in aggregate principal amount of either of the 2013 and 2016
Senior Notes have the right to accelerate their respective
obligations under the 2013 and 2016 Senior Notes.

* 2014 Senior Notes

Lear issued the 2014 Senior Notes under the Indenture dated
August 3, 2004.  BNY Midwest Trust Company is the trustee.  The
2014 Senior Notes are unsecured and rank equally with Lear's
other unsecured senior indebtedness, including the other
Senior Unsecured Notes, and contain covenants restricting Lear's
ability to incur liens and to enter into sale and leaseback
transactions.  The interest on the 2014 Senior Notes is payable
on February 1 and August 1 of each year.  As of June 1, 2009,
approximately $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 2014
Senior Notes remained outstanding.

* Zero Coupon Convertible Notes

Lear issued the Zero Coupon Convertible Notes on February 20,
2002.  The Zero Coupon Convertible Notes are unsecured and rank
equally with Lear's other unsecured senior indebtedness,
including the other Senior Unsecured Notes.  Interest on the Zero
Coupon Convertible Notes accretes at 4.75%, compounded semi-
annually.  As of July 7, 2009, approximately $819,000 in
aggregate accreted value of Zero Coupon Convertible Notes
remained outstanding.

* Equity

Lear is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol LEA.  As of June 17, 2009, Lear had approximately
77.5 million shares of common stock outstanding.  On July 2, 2009,
the New York Stock Exchange announced a suspension of trading of
Lear's common stock.  All of Lear's stock listed on the New York
Stock Exchange will be delisted.  The Company does not have any
preferred stock outstanding.

                  EVENTS LEADING TO CHAPTER 11

During 2008 and into 2009, the global automotive industry has
suffered an unprecedented downturn that has significantly
strained the operations of OEMs, Tier I automotive suppliers, and
all lower tiered automotive suppliers across the supply chain.
Substantial decreases in vehicle sales have led to declines in
vehicle production and decreased demand for Lear's products, says
Shari L. Burgess, vice president and treasurer of Lear Corp.

According to Mr. Burgess, Lear saw demand for its top 15
platforms in North America fall 25% in 2008.  Furthermore, the
mix of vehicle platforms for which the Company provide products
also negatively affected its operating results and profitability.

"A disproportionate share of the Company's past net sales and
profitability in North America has been on light truck and large
SUV platforms of domestic automakers, which are now experiencing
significant competitive pressures as consumer purchasing patterns
shift toward passenger cars, crossover vehicles and other vehicle
platforms for which the Company provide less content," Mr.
Burgess notes.

Light truck sales in the United States in 2008, including sales
of SUVs, fell 25% from 2007, and Lear's light truck/SUV-based
revenues in North America declined 43% during the same time
period.

In addition to declining automobile sales, the cost of certain
raw materials, principally steel, resins, copper and certain
chemicals, as well as higher energy costs, had an adverse impact
on the Company's operating results for several years, Mr. Burgess
explains.

The Company implemented strategies to mitigate or partially
offset the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity
costs, including cost reduction actions, utilization of cost
technology optimization process, selective in-sourcing of
components, continued consolidation of their supply base, longer-
term purchase commitments and acceleration of low-cost country
sourcing and engineering.  However, due to the magnitude and
duration of the increased raw material, energy and commodity
costs, these strategies offset only a portion of the adverse
impact, Mr. Burgess says.

With significant disruptions and uncertainty in the automotive
industry and general capital market conditions, and a need to
further bolster its liquidity position, Lear borrowed $1.2
billion under its Senior Credit Facility during the fourth
quarter of 2008.  Because of the continued uncertainty, the
Company decided not to repay amounts borrowed, causing it to fall
out of compliance with the leverage ratio contained in the Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2008.

In early 2009, certain Secured Credit Facility lenders formed a
steering committee led by the Administrative Agent to engage in
discussions with the Company.  Upon the steering committee's
formation, Lear began good faith negotiations with the Senior
Credit Facility lenders to secure an amendment and waiver of
default under the Senior Credit Facility to allow it to
adequately explore restructuring alternatives.

On March 17, 2009, as these negotiations intensified, Lear
entered into an amendment and waiver with the Senior Credit
Facility lenders that (a) waived existing defaults through
May 15, 2009, and (b) amended the financial covenants and certain
other provisions of the Senior Credit Facility.  On May 13, 2009,
to provide it additional time to continue discussions with their
senior secured lenders and evaluate other restructuring options,
Lear entered into a second amendment of the Senior Credit
Facility, which extended the first waiver through the earlier of
the date on which the Company makes any payments on the
outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes or June 30, 2009.

While negotiating with the Senior Credit Facility lenders, Lear
evaluated other potential restructuring alternatives, including
entering into discussions with certain parties regarding
strategic transactions, to ensure they maximized enterprise
value.  In early June 2009, the Company commenced discussions
with an ad hoc committee comprised of certain holders of
the 2013, 2014 and 2016 Senior Notes regarding a comprehensive
debt restructuring.

After weeks of extensive negotiations, Lear reached agreement
with a majority of their Senior Credit Facility lenders and
noteholders regarding the terms of a consensual debt
restructuring that will achieve a significant de-leveraging of
its balance sheets.  The principal terms of this restructuring
are set forth in a Chapter 11 plan term sheet, a full-text copy
of which is available for free at:

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

The terms of Lear's proposed Chapter 11 plan contemplate the
Company obtaining financing upon emergence and fully satisfying
prepetition obligations to its ongoing suppliers.

Evidencing their support of the plan term sheet, a majority of
the Senior Credit Facility lenders and noteholders have executed
plan support agreements by which these parties agree to support a
chapter 11 plan containing the terms set forth in the plan term
sheet, Mr. Burgess notes.

Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is representing JP Morgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for Lear's senior secured
lenders, including prepetition credit agreement lenders, DIP
lenders, and exit/emergence lenders.  The Simpson Thacher team
includes bankruptcy partner Kenneth S. Ziman, Esq., and financial
services partner James T. Knight, Esq.

On July 7, 2009, Lear and 23 of its affiliates filed Chapter 11
petitions to effectuate their proposed restructuring.  The
Debtors expect to emerge from Chapter 11 as a substantially de-
leveraged enterprise with competitive going forward operations.

                  Estimated Financial Data

For the 30-day period following the filing of the Chapter 11
cases, Lear expects to incur these estimated expenses:

  Description                           Amount
  -----------                           ------

LEAR CORP: Seeks to Employ Kirkland & Ellis as Attorneys
--------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Sections 327(a) and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Lear Corp. and its affiliates seek the Court's authority to employ
Kirkland & Ellis LLP as their attorneys, nunc pro tunc to the
Petition Date.  The Debtors have selected Kirkland & Ellis because
of the firm's expertise and extensive experience and knowledge in
the fields of debtors' protections, creditors' rights and business
reorganizations under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

As attorneys, Kirkland & Ellis will:

  (a) advise the Debtors with respect to their powers and duties
      as debtors-in-possession in the continued management and
      operation of their business and properties;

  (b) advise and consult on the conduct of the Chapter 11 Cases,
      including all of the legal and administrative requirements
      of operating in chapter 11;

  (c) attend meetings and negotiate with representatives of
      creditors and other parties-in-interest;

  (d) take all necessary action to protect and preserve the
      Debtors' estates, including prosecuting actions on the
      Debtors' behalf, defending any action commenced against
      the Debtors and represent the Debtors' interests in
      negotiations concerning all litigation in which the
      Debtors are involved, including objections to claims filed
      against the Debtors' estates;

  (e) prepare pleadings, including motions, applications,
      answers, orders, reports and papers necessary or otherwise
      beneficial to the administration of the Debtors' estates;

  (f) represent the Debtors in connection with obtaining
      financing and new money investments;

  (g) advise the Debtors in connection with any potential sales
      of assets;

  (h) appear before the Court and any appellate courts to
      represent the interests of the Debtors' estates before
      those courts;

  (i) consult with the Debtors regarding tax matters;

  (j) take any necessary action on behalf of the Debtors to
      negotiate, prepare on behalf of the Debtors and obtain
      approval of a chapter 11 plan; and

  (k) perform all other necessary or otherwise beneficial legal
      services for the Debtors in connection with the
      prosecution of the Chapter 11 Cases, including:

        (i) analyzing the Debtors' leases and contracts and the

            assumptions, rejections or assignments;

       (ii) analyzing the validity of liens against the Debtors;
            and

      (iii) advising the Debtors on corporate and litigation
            matters.

The Debtors will pay Kirkland & Ellis based on the firm's
customary hourly rates:

  Professional              Range
  ------------              -----
  Partners                 $550-$1,045
  Of Counsel               $500-$965
  Associates               $320-$660
  Paraprofessionals        $120-$280

James H.M. Sprayregen, Esq., Marc Kieselstein, Esq., Ryan Blaine
Bennett, Esq., and Paul Wierbicki, Esq., are expected to have
primary responsibility in providing services to the Debtors.

The Debtors will also reimburse Kirkland & Ellis for expenses
incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 cases including
overnight mail, transportation, overtime expenses, computer-
assisted legal research, photocopying, meals and lodging.

On February 6, 2009, the Debtors paid Kirkland & Ellis a classic
retainer of $750,000.  Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the
classic retainer payments are property of Kirkland & Ellis and
are not held in a separate account.

James H.M. Sprayregen, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New
York, assures the Court that his firm is a "disinterested person"
as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code
and does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the
Debtors' estates.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Related Cases Reach 667 in Hong Kong
-----------------------------------------------------
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced that there are
currently 667 Lehman-Brothers-related cases under disciplinary
consideration.  These are cases which have gone through detailed
investigation by the HKMA.

"A number of cases are at a very advanced stage of the
enforcement process.  Before making a final determination in
these cases, we have to go through due process to ensure
fairness, including giving the subjects of investigation an
opportunity to be heard," said by an HKMA spokesperson.

Since 17 October 2008 the HKMA has referred a total of 482
Lehman-Brothers-related cases (unchanged from last week),
involving 16 banks, to the SFC for further action.  These cases
have been reviewed by the HKMA, which has determined that there
are sufficient grounds for referring them to the SFC to
facilitate its investigations into banks.

The HKMA has, up to 3 July 2009, received 21,421 complaints
concerning Lehman-Brothers-related products, of which 21,169
complaints have gone through the preliminary assessment process.
As a result of the assessment, the HKMA is currently
investigating 6,271 cases and seeking further information on
12,770 cases.  A total of 1,461 complaints have been closed as
there was no sufficient prima facie evidence found after the
preliminary assessment process or no sufficient grounds and
evidence found after the detailed investigation.  "The closure of
these cases will not affect the top-down investigations being
undertaken by the SFC at the bank level," the HKMA spokesman
said.

LODGIAN INC: Obtains 30-Day Extension on Mortgage Pool
------------------------------------------------------
Lodgian, Inc. has obtained an extension of the maturity date for
the Merrill Lynch Fixed Rate Pool #3.  As of July 1, 2009, the
principal amount of Pool #3 was $45.7 million.

The company and the special servicer for Pool #3 have entered into
an extension agreement to extend the maturity date of this
indebtedness until August 1, 2009.  Given the extension of the
maturity date, the company is not in default of the original loan.
The Company paid no extension fee in connection with this short-
term extension.  The 30-day extension is intended to provide the
parties an opportunity to reach an agreement on a longer-term
maturity extension.

The company and the special servicer are currently negotiating a
longer-term maturity extension for Pool #3; however, the company
can provide no assurances that the parties will reach such an
agreement.  In the event that the Company is unable to achieve a
long-term extension of Pool #3, the Company expects that
anticipated cash flow from the hotels securing Pool #3 may not be
sufficient to meet the related debt service obligations and it may
be necessary to transfer the properties securing this indebtedness
to the lender in satisfaction of the Company's obligations.

The principal balance of Pool #3, as of July 1, 2009, as well as a
listing of the hotels that serve as collateral under Pool #3:

     Merrill Lynch Fixed Rate Pool #3

MAL DUNN: Chapter 11 Plan Bars State Court Suit Against Officer
---------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that the doctrine of equitable mootness applied to
bar the relief sought by a creditor, which requested a
clarification that orders entered in the debtor's Chapter 11 case
did not preclude it from prosecuting its state-court action
against the debtor's president.  The creditor received timely
notice of a global settlement, the debtor's disclosure statement,
the Chapter 11 plan, and the confirmation order, but did not
object to the release provisions in the plan and confirmation
order until more than one year after the entry of the confirmation
order and the plan's effective date.  Sustaining the creditor's
belated challenge to the plan and confirmation order, moreover,
would be inequitable and unfair to the president, who claimed to
have fully complied with the global settlement in reliance upon
the continuing validity and effectiveness of the release
provisions in the confirmation order and plan.  In re Mal Dunn

MORGUARD REAL: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB' corporate
credit rating on Morguard Real Estate Investment Trust,
acknowledging the potential for modest deterioration in the REIT's
coverage measures in the near term while also reflecting S&P's
opinion that its property-level real estate fundamentals have
fared well relative to those of similarly rated U.S. peers.  The
rating further reflects the company's manageable near-term
refinancing needs.  The outlook is stable.

"S&P's ratings on Mississauga, Ontario-based Morguard Real Estate
Investment Trust reflect the company's moderately leveraged
capital structure and relatively modest coverage of related debt
service costs," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst James
Fielding.  "While S&P expects the REIT's coverage measures may
weaken further in the near term as recessionary pressures weigh on
demand for commercial real estate space in Canada, Morguard's
retail, office, and industrial properties appear well positioned
in their respective submarkets, as evidenced by high occupancies
and more moderate deterioration in net operating income relative
to similarly rated U.S. peers."

Additionally, the REIT's debt maturities are well laddered, which
limits near-term refinancing risk.

The stable outlook reflects some flexibility at the current rating
level for Morguard to weather a modest decline in rents in the
near term.  The likelihood, in S&P's view, that leasing conditions
could become more challenging does preclude consideration of a
positive outlook at this time.  If conditions deteriorate more
meaningfully than anticipated, such that funds from operations no
longer cover distributions to unit holders, S&P would consider
revising the outlook to negative or possibly lowering the rating.
Additional triggers for a negative rating action would include
unit repurchase activity that is more aggressive than anticipated,
higher debt levels that approach covenant limits, an adverse
change in Canada's commercial mortgage lending environment, or a
shift in strategy that introduces development or other operating
challenges to Morguard's risk profile.


MOTORSPORT AFTERMARKET: Moody's Cuts Corp. Family Rtng. to Caa2
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Motorsport Aftermarket Group,
Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating and Probability of Default Rating
to Caa2 from Caa1, and its senior secured credit facilities to B3
from B2.  The rating outlook was revised to negative.

The downgrade of the CFR to Caa2 reflects the company's weakening
operating performance and eroding liquidity.  Its revenues
continued to decline in the recent past, primarily driven by the
decreasing demand for its motorcycle parts and accessories as the
prolonged recession continued to take tolls on consumer disposable
income and discretionary spending for leisure related products.
Moody's expects the negative revenue trend would likely persist in
2009, thus further pressuring its already weak credit metrics at a
time when its levels of fixed charges remains elevated from debt
incurred in its 2006 acquisition by private equity sponsors.

Although MAG would still likely generate modestly positive free
cash flow in the coming year, the overall liquidity profile is
expected to be weak, mainly reflecting the limited headroom under
its financial covenants.  Given its deteriorating cash flow and
tightening covenant level in the next 12 months, the company will
likely seek an amendment/waiver from its senior lenders to avoid a
covenant default.  The equity cure right contemplated in the
credit agreement can only be applied on limited basis.

"We are concerned about the liquidity as well as the
sustainability of its current capital structure," commented
Moody's analyst John Zhao, "At its current cash flow generation,
the existing debt load would become increasingly burdensome."

The negative outlook reflects the company's worsening sales since
the beginning of 2009.  "Purchases of new motorcycles and related
parts and accessories in the US have been declining over the past
year and would likely stay depressed in the next 12-18 months,"
added Zhao.  "This has in turn affected MAG's financial results
because most of its revenues are generated from products installed
on these more expensive 651 plus CC heavyweight Harley-Davidson
style of motorcycles, to enhance performance, image and ergonomics
rather than repair or maintenance."

That said, the leading position of MAG's multiple brands, healthy
margin and cost-cutting initiatives, could help the company offset
some of the negative pressure on its operating performance and
credit metrics.

The rating action is:

Motorsport Aftermarket Group, Inc,

  -- Corporate Family rating, downgrade to Caa2 from Caa1

  -- Probability of Default, downgraded to Caa2 from Caa1

  -- $215 million First lien bank debt, downgraded to B3(LGD-3,
     31) from B2 (LGD-3, 31%)

  -- Rating outlook: revised to negative from stable

The last rating action was on July 3, 2008, at which time the CFR
was downgraded to Caa1 from B2.

Motorsport Aftermarket Group, Inc., headquartered in Irvine, CA,
is a holding company with investments in subsidiaries which
design, manufacture and market parts and accessories for the
motorcycle and ATV industries.  Approximately 70% of consolidated
revenues are derived from branded products which customize or
adjust ergonomic features of new and used motorcycles.  The
balance of revenues is from J&P Cycles, a catalogue retailer of
parts and accessories for cruiser/touring motorcycles.


NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE: Moody's Keeps Ba3 Rating on $4 Mil. Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Ba3 rating of New
England College.  This rating applies to $4.0 million of Series
1999 bonds issued through the New Hampshire Higher Educational and
Health Facilities Authority.  At this time, Moody's are revising
the outlook to positive from stable in recognition of the
College's continued positive operating performance, enrollment
growth, and strengthened financial resources over the past few
years, although the College has experienced investment losses
during FY 2008 and 2009.  The College has a total of $6.3 million
of direct debt, of which all is in the fixed rate mode.

Legal Security: General obligation of College secured by gross
receipts subject to prior lien of HUD on revenues generated by
certain dormitory facilities; mortgage interest in certain campus
facilities.  Debt service covenant of 1.25 times (4.3 times
projected at 6/30/2009) and MADS to Revenues covenant of up to
0.15 times (0.10 times projected at 6/30/2009).  Debt service
reserve fund.

Interest Rate Derivatives: None.

                            Strengths

* Continued positive operating performance and healthy debt
  service coverage.  The College has produced a positive
  operating margin since FY 2003 under Moody's methodology,
  with the three-year average operating margin at 3.3% in FY
  2008.  These solid results stem from increased net tuition
  and fee revenue (64% increase in annual amount from FY 2003
  through 2008) as well as sound fiscal management practices.
  The College budgets to add $500,000 of unrestricted funds to
  net assets each year and budgets for depreciation.  Operating
  cash flow margin of 12.0% in FY 2008 produced strong debt
  service coverage of 3.6 times.  The College has not utilized
  its $1.5 million available operating line of credit since
  2007, and has no plans for future use.

* Enrollment growth at this college in central New Hampshire.
  Between fall 2003 and 2008, full-time equivalent enrollment
  increased to 1,828 primarily on the strength of increased
  graduate enrollment, which rose to 785 FTEs from 118 during
  this time.  The College has a niche in experiential learning
  for undergraduates and offers graduate programs both on
  campus and at off-campus locations in New Hampshire and
  Maine.  Many graduate programs are now offered online,
  including new programs in management, public policy,
  accounting, and criminal justice.  Moody's believes this
  increased program diversity expands the pool of potential
  students.  The College reports success in extending its reach
  for undergraduate students beyond its traditional base in New
  England (74% of undergraduate students in FY 2009, including
  37% from New Hampshire) and the Mid-Atlantic (14% in FY 2009)
  to the Midwest, Texas, California, and foreign countries.

* Strengthened financial resources bolster cushion for debt and
  operations.  Between FY 2005 and FY 2008, total financial
  resources grew annually to $8.2 million from $3.1 million
  (160%).  The increase resulted from retained operating
  surpluses, investment returns (6.2% average annual return
  between FY 2005 and 2007), and higher gift revenue (three-
  year average of $1.1 million in FY 2008 compared to $757,000
  in FY 2004).  Expendable financial resources at 6/30/2008
  covered total direct debt by 0.56 times and operations by
  0.14 times compared to -0.10 times and -0.03 times,
  respectively at 6/30/2005.

                           Challenges

* Market vulnerability affects key revenue source.  While the
  College expects to see higher enrollment in graduate programs
  during the current economic downturn, the first-year
  undergraduate class size for fall 2009 is not yet certain.
  For the fall of 2003 through 2008, the College recorded an
  average entering class of 319.  As of mid-June, the College
  reported 280 first-year deposits, with at least 80 to 100
  additional deposits expected.  This pace is similar to the
  previous year, when the College enrolled 366 new freshmen
  (includes transfers) in fall 2008.  For fall 2009, the
  College projects an entering class of 360 and is budgeting
  for 350.  With growth in applications from under 1,000 for
  fall 2001 to more than 2,000 beginning in the fall of 2006,
  the College improved its selectivity rate to 75.7% in 2008
  from a recent high of 95.7% in 2002.  Matriculation has
  declined, however, to 19.1% in 2008 from 29.0% in 2003,
  highlighting the strong competition for students.
  Vulnerability of enrollment is also demonstrated by a decline
  in net tuition per student in FY 2008 to $11,799 from $13,657
  the previous year.  This drop is due to meeting its target of
  40.5% tuition discount in order to attract students and
  pricing strategies for graduate programs, which represent 43%
  of FTE enrollment but just 20% of net tuition revenue in
  2008.  Variability in student demand and net tuition pricing
  are key credit factors as student charges represent 91% of
  operating revenues as calculated by Moody's.  In addition,
  Moody's will monitor the College's strategy for pricing its
  graduate programs.

* Decline in financial resources due to investment losses
  weakens coverage.  Similar to other higher education
  institutions, the College has incurred investment losses.
  Following a loss of 5.3% in FY 2008, the College's investment
  return for the current fiscal year through April 30, 2009,
  was approximately negative 20%.  Assuming Moody's standard
  pro-forma 30% reduction to expendable and total financial
  resources to reflect market losses and endowment spending,
  expendable financial resources would cover direct debt by
  0.17 times and operations by 0.04 times.  While cash position
  fluctuates throughout the year, the College reported
  $2.3 million as of 6/30/09, which is about one-half of the
  annual peak.  Endowment assets are allocated between
  equities (59%) and fixed income and cash (41%).  Moody's
  notes concentration of investment management, with 75% of
  endowment investments held in two Commonfund funds: the
  Multi-Strategy Equity Fund (45%) and the Multi-Strategy Bond
  Fund (29%).

* Annual rollover of revenue anticipation notes issued through
  the New Hampshire Health and Education Facilities Authority
  represents potential draw on liquid resources if not renewed.
  In April 2006, the College issued $1.5 million in revenue
  anticipation notes to fund capital projects.  Since that
  time, the College has annually rolled over this debt, with a
  maturity of one year at each issuance.  In Moody's opinion,
  the College is subject to market risk that the RANs could not
  be resold and could be required to utilize the majority of
  its most liquid resources to pay bondholders.  The currently
  outstanding RANs mature in April 2010.

* Though increased, gift revenue remains low.  The College has
  traditionally had a small fundraising effort, which limits
  its financial flexibility and ability to undertake capital
  projects.  From a low of $555,000 in FY 2004, annual gift
  revenue rose to nearly $1.2 million in FY 2008.  The College
  is currently raising $1.5 million for a new artificial turf
  field, with $1.2 million reported raised to date.  The alumni
  participation rate is weak at 13.4%.  The College has begun a
  feasibility study to determine capacity for a capital
  campaign, but no specific plans have been determined.  With
  the decrease in financial resources experienced by the
  College, Moody's believes gifts may be important in meeting
  future capital needs including smaller projects already
  identified such as renovations to the student center and
  dormitories.

                              Outlook

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the College
can continue to produce positive operating performance, maintain
increased enrollment with a diversity of program offerings, and
bolster financial resources over time.

                  What could change the rating-UP

Significant strengthening of financial resources coupled with
stability or growth in enrollment accompanied by increase in net
tuition per student; stronger fundraising results

                 What could change the rating-DOWN

Volatility or decline in enrollment or tuition pricing strategies
that negatively affect financial performance; lack of growth in
financial resources; future borrowing that outpaces growth in
financial resources

Key Indicators (FY 2008 financial data and fall 2008 enrollment
data):

* Ratios in parentheses represent a proforma 30% decline in
  total financial resources that fully impacts expendable
  financial resources to reflect expected investment losses and
  endowment spending during FY 2009

* Total Enrollment: 1,828 full time equivalent students

* Total Direct Debt: $6.3 million

* Expendable Financial Resources to Debt: 0.56 times (0.17
  times)

* Expendable Financial Resources to Operations: 0.14 times
  (0.04 times)

* Three-Year Average Operating Margin: 3.3%

* Operating Cash Flow Margin: 12.0%

* % of Revenues from Student Charges: 91.1%

Rated Debt:

* Series 1999: Ba3

The last rating action was on January 29, 2007, when the long-term
rating assigned to New England College was upgraded to Ba3 with a
stable outlook.


NEW YORK TIMES: Postpones Deadline for Boston Globe Offers
----------------------------------------------------------
The Associated Press reports that the New York Times
Co. has postponed a deadline for potential buyers of The Boston
Globe newspaper to submit their initial bids.  No new deadline has
been set, the report says, citing people familiar with the matter.

According to The AP, New York Times had set a July 8 deadline for
nonbinding bids.  The Globe relates that Goldman Sachs & Co., the
investment banking firm hired to manage the sale, has told
interested parties they will be given more time to prepare offers
for the newspaper and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

The New York Times Co., a leading media company with 2008 revenues
of $2.9 billion, includes The New York Times, the International
Herald Tribune, The Boston Globe, 16 other daily newspapers, WQXR-
FM and more than 50 Web sites, including NYTimes.com, Boston.com
and About.com.  The Company was founded in 1896.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on December 4, 2008,
the NY Times cut its quarterly dividend by 74%, as part of an
effort to conserve cash.  The NY Times said that it took steps to
lower debt and increase liquidity, including reevaluating its
assets.  The NY Times has laid off employees, merged sections of
the NY Times and Globe to reduce printing costs, and consolidated
New York area printing plants this year.

The TCR reported on May 25, 2009, that Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit and senior unsecured issue-
level ratings on New York City-based newspaper publisher The New
York Times Co. to 'B' from 'B+'.  These ratings were removed from
CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications
April 22, 2009.  The rating outlook is stable.

According to the TCR on April 28, 2009, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded The New York Times Company's Corporate Family Rating
and Probability of Default ratings to B1 from Ba3 and ratings on
the senior unsecured notes to B1 from Ba3.  The Company's
speculative grade liquidity rating remains SGL-3 and the rating
outlook is negative.


NORTEL NETWORKS: Gets Nod to Enter Into $30MM Bond Facilities
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nortel Networks Inc. and its debtor-affiliates obtained final
Approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to enter into agreements with sureties and financial
institutions for the issuance of letters of credit, surety and
performance bonds in the sum of $30 million.

Prior to entering into any agreement or paying the fees in
excess of $50,000 for a specific proposed facility, the
Debtors are required to provide the U.S. Trustee and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors at least five days prior written
notice of the agreement or fees.  If the U.S. Trustee or the
Creditors Committee provides the Debtors' counsel with a written
objection to the agreements or fees within that period, which
cannot be resolved, the Debtors may seek court approval of the
agreements and fees.

Before requesting the issuance of any particular letter of credit
or bond in an amount of at least $500,000, the Debtors are
required to provide the Creditors Committee at least five days'
prior written notice of the proposed instrument.

The Debtors, meanwhile, are required to provide the Creditors
Committee at least two days' prior written notice before
requesting the issuance of any particular letter of credit or
bond in an amount of at least $200,000.  If the Creditors
Committee provides the Debtors' counsel with a written objection,
which the parties could not resolve, the Debtors may seek Court
approval of the proposed instrument or transaction.

Prior to the final approval, the Court issued an interim order on
June 11, 2009, authorizing the Debtors to enter into the
agreements and seek the issuance of letters of credit and bonds
in the sum of $7.5 million.

In the Debtors' motion filed with the Bankruptcy Court, attorney
for the Debtors, Ann Cordo, Esq., at Morris Nichols Arsht &
Tunnell LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, said that the agreements are
necessary in order for the Debtors to obtain independent sources
of financing for the issuance of surety and performance bonds on
their behalf for the benefit of their U.S. customers.

"The Debtors expect that from time to time they will need to
provide certain surety and performance bonds or letters of
credit, primarily in support of certain obligations to their
customers under customer contracts and certain other limited
purposes including customs, insurance and contractor obligations,
both as the existing bonds and letters of credit expire and in
support of new agreements," Ms. Cordo stated.

Ms. Cordo related that the Debtors have approached a number of
financial institutions and sureties regarding their willingness
to provide a facility, and have identified certain issuers and at
least one surety willing to consider issuing bonds on behalf of
the Debtors on the condition that they are fully cash
collateralized.

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also attempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

NOVA CHEMICALS: Abu Dhabi Government Closes Buyout Deal
-------------------------------------------------------
International Petroleum Investment Company and NOVA Chemicals
Corporation completed on July 6, 2009, the acquisition of NOVA
Chemicals by way of a plan of arrangement.  NOVA Chemicals will
continue to operate its chemicals and plastics business from its

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 2, 2009,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services kept the ratings, including the
'CCC+' long-term corporate credit rating, on commodity chemicals
and plastics producer NOVA Chemicals Corp. on CreditWatch with
positive implications, where they were placed Feb. 24, 2009.
"Standard & Poor's will likely resolve the CreditWatch on NOVA
once the IPIC transaction is complete and S&P has a better
understanding of the new capital structure and what type of
financial support the parent company will provide," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Jatinder Mall.


NOVA CHEMICALS: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its long-term
corporate credit rating on commodity chemical producer NOVA
Chemicals Corp. to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.  S&P also raised the
unsecured debt issue ratings on the company to 'B-' (the same as
the corporate credit rating) from 'CCC+'.  The recovery rating on
the debt is unchanged at '4', indicating expectations of average
(30%-50%) recovery in the event of default.

At the same time, S&P removed all ratings from CreditWatch with
positive implications, where they were placed Feb. 24, 2009.  The
outlook on NOVA Chemicals is stable.

"The ratings on NOVA Chemicals reflect what S&P view as the
company's highly leverage capital structure, upcoming large debt
maturity, exposure to volatile commodity chemicals, and weak
styrene business," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jatinder
Mall.

These weaknesses are counterbalanced in S&P's opinion by NOVA
Chemicals' cost-competitive olefins/polyolefins business, which
generates good cash flow through the cycle, and the one-notch
increase in the corporate credit rating on the company based on
parental support from International Petroleum Investment Co.
(IPIC; AA/Stable/A-1+).

NOVA Chemicals produces commodity chemicals and plastics that are
used in consumer, industrial, and packaging products.  The company
has an annual production capacity of 6,600 million pounds of
ethylene and 3,620 million pounds of polyethylene.  It also
produces a small amount of performance styrenics, which includes
expandable polystyrene and styrenic polymer performance products.
Nova Chemicals' Ineos Nova joint venture produces styrene monomer
and solid polystyrene in North America and Europe.

Overall, Standard & Poor's considers NOVA Chemicals' business risk
profile as weak.  The acquisition by IPIC is considered a positive
event from a ratings perspective and why S&P has factored in a
one-notch upgrade on NOVA Chemicals.  The strategic importance of
the NOVA Chemicals acquisition is evident from IPIC's long-term
strategy of developing investments in the petrochemical industry
and potential for sharing technologies among other chemical
companies in IPIC's investment portfolio.  IPIC has already helped
NOVA Chemicals pay April bonds with a US$150 million backstop
facility, which is to be converted into equity at close of the
transaction.  Furthermore, IPIC has agreed to invest an additional
US$200 million of equity into the company.

The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's view of NOVA
Chemicals' acquisition by IPIC and the parental support S&P
believes IPIC will provide.  However, given the weak market
conditions for chemicals and large debt expiring in early 2010,
S&P could lower the ratings if NOVA Chemicals is unable to
refinance and IPIC does not provide additional financing.
Alternatively, there is a high likelihood that S&P could raise the
ratings by one or two notches if the company can refinance
upcoming debt maturities or if there is evidence of additional
financial support from IPIC.

OCEANAIRE INC: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
---------------------------------------------------------
The Oceanaire Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Texas.

Business Journal relates that Oceanaire closed four of its
restaurants in other cities.  According to Business Journal,
Oceanaire VP of Culinary Development Wade Wiestling said that the
Company has closed under-performing locations in Charlotte, N.C.,
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Seattle.  Business Journal says that
12 other locations will remain open.  According to the report,
Oceanaire is seeking the Court's permission to close "a number of
its restaurants."

Tim Whitlock, Oceanaire's senior VP of operations, said that the
Oceanaire at 1400 Arapahoe St. in Denver is excluded from the
closures, the report states.  "It's a great city . . . . Denver's
done a good job supporting our restaurant, so we have no plans to
close it," the report quoted Mr. Whitlock as saying.

Oceanaire said in a statement that it has reached an agreement
with secured lenders for a restructuring plan "that will
substantially improve the cash-flow generation of the Company."
Oceanaire said that it has reached a deal with its lenders to for
the use of cash collateral during the bankruptcy process, "which
should provide the necessary liquidity to fund operations
throughout the restructuring," Business Journal reports.

According to Business Journal, Oceanaire said that it will pay its
vendors for post-petition purchases, and it expects no changes to
employees work schedules, pay or benefits, except at the closed
locations.

Oceanaire said that it expects to emerge from Chapter 11 by year-
end, Business Journal relates.

The Oceanaire Inc. is a seafood restaurant chain founded by Edina,
Minneapolis-based Parasole Restaurant Holdings Inc. in 1999.

PSYSTAR CORP: Seeks to Dismiss Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case
---------------------------------------------------------
Psystar Corp. has filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss its case
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Florida, Ars Technica reports.

A hearing on the request is set for August 4.

Ars Technica relates that Psystar is claiming that filing
financial reports with the court will be too costly while the
Company has to proceed with the suit with Apple.

According to Zdnet.com, fails to come to an agreement with its
legal firm, Carr & Ferrell, the cost of Chapter 11.  Zdnet.com
states that Psystar owes Carr & Ferrell more than $86,000.
Psystar doesn't plan to file for Chapter 7, which would
effectively end the Company, Zdnet.com says.

Zdnet.com reports that Psystar said that it is offering a new
quad-core based Mac-clone tower running a 2.66GHz Xeon W3520 for
$1,499.99, and to continue its battle with Apple.

Doral, Florida-based Psystar Corp. makes computers that are
capable of running Apple Inc.'s Macintosh operating system.  It
sells its computer over the Internet.  The Company filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 21, 2009 (Bankr. S.D. Fla.
Case No. 09-19921).  The Company listed up to $50,000 in assets
and $100,000 to $500,000 in liabilities.


QUANTUM CORPORATION: Moody's Raises Corp. Family Rating to 'B3'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Quantum Corporation's corporate
family rating and probability of default rating each to B3, from
Caa1 and Ca, respectively, following the announcement that the
company has repurchased more than
$135 million of its 4.375% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2010.  The rating outlook is positive.

The upgrade of the CFR and PDR reflects the successful refinancing
of the company's subordinated debt.  By reaching the $135 million
repurchase threshold, the company has eliminated the risk of an
accelerated maturity on the remaining $188 million senior secured
term loan (adjusting for required $20 million payment in the
second fiscal quarter).  The resolution of this uncertainty
results in no significant debt maturity until July 2014, with only
the remaining $22 million of Subordinated Notes (due August 2010)
and $21.7 million of EMC Tranche B term loan (due December 31,
2011) maturing before then.

Quantum's B3 CFR reflects the company's high financial leverage
(and relatively tight financial covenants which step down again in
March 2010), revenue declines, weak (albeit improving)
profitability, and significant reliance on a few customers.  The
rating also considers the company's solid market position, strong
relationships with leading OEMs, market acceptance of its new data
deduplication and replication products, and improving gross
margins given the shift in sales mix to branded products away from
OEM tape automation systems and device products.

The positive outlook reflects the company's improving performance
(e.g., Moody's adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow of $110 million
and $83 million, respectively, during the fiscal year ended March
31, 2009, and increased gross margins due to a favorable shift in
sales mix, traction from its new DXi7500 products and EMC
partnership, and cost reduction initiatives) and Moody's
expectation of continued free cash flow generation in 2009.

Ratings upgraded:

  -- Corporate family rating to B3 from Caa1;

  -- Probability-of-default rating to B3 from Ca;

  -- $160 million subordinated convertible notes due August
     2010 (remaining balance of $22 million) to Caa2 (LGD 6,
     95%) from Caa3 (LGD 5, 75%)

Rating confirmed/assessments revised:

  -- $50 million senior secured revolver expiring 2012 of B1
     (LGD 2, 28% from LGD 2, 17%);

  -- $400 million senior secured first lien facility due 2014
     (remaining balance of $188 million) of B1 (LGD 2, 28% from
     LGD 2, 17%)

The last rating action for Quantum Corporation was on June 4, 2009
when Moody's revised the PDR to Ca/LD, reflecting the limited
default which had occurred following completion of the previously
announced tender offer for its 4.375% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2010.  The PDR subsequently reverted back to Ca (still
under review) and the /LD designation was removed consistent with
Moody's practice for such deemed distressed exchange transactions.
In addition, Moody's kept all ratings under review, with direction
uncertain, pending the outcome of additional actions required to
eliminate the potential accelerated maturity of the remaining
$208 million senior secured term loan in February 2010.

With about $809 million in revenues for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2009, Quantum Corporation, headquartered in San Jose,
California, is a leading global data storage company offering a
broad portfolio of disk-based deduplication/replication, tape and
software products for backup, recovery and archive.


QUEBECOR WORLD: Files 2007 & 2008 401(k) Plan Reports
-----------------------------------------------------
Quebecor World (USA), Inc., filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission its 401(k) Plan on Form 11-K
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that was established on
July 1, 1991.  The purpose of the Plan is to help provide non-
unionized participants and members of a participating bargaining
unit of QWUSA and its affiliates with benefits for their
retirement.  Non-union, full-time permanent employees are
eligible to participate in the Plan upon their first hour of
service and upon attaining the age of 18 and non-union, part-time
employees can participate following the completion of 1,000 hours
of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

(1) Contributions

   Effective October 1, 2006, the Pension Committee increased
   the employer matching contribution to 100% of employee
   contributions, subject to a limit of 2% of annual
   compensation, limited to $230,000 for 2008.  Additionally,
   effective October 1, 2006, there has been a further employer
   contribution equal to 2% of the annual compensation, limited
   to $4,600 for 2008, of each eligible non-union employee
   actively employed on December 31 of each Plan year.

(2) Participant Accounts

   Each participant's account is credited with the
   participant's contributions and withdrawals, as applicable,
   and the funds' earnings in which the participant elects to
   participate.  Earnings are allocated by fund based on the
   ratio of a participant's account invested in a particular
   fund to all participants' investments in that fund.  The
   benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit
   that can be provided from the participant's account.

(3) Vesting

   Participants hired on or after January 1, 2001, will become
   100% vested after three years of service.  Participants will
   automatically become 100% vested if they reach normal
   retirement age, die, or become permanently disabled while
   employed with QWUSA or its participating affiliates.
   Participants hired before January 1, 2001, will become vested
   according to their respective merged plan's vesting
   schedules, which range from one to five years.

(4) Investment Elections

   Participants may direct the investment of all contributions
   made to their account balance in any combination of the
   investment options available, in increments of 1%.
   Participants may change both their contribution percentage
   and investment options at any point of time.  The investment
   options available to participants as of December 31, 2008,
   consisted of:

   * Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund
   * Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Fund
   * PIMCO Total Return Fund
   * Putnam RetirementReady Funds
   * Putnam Stable Value Fund
   * Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund
   * Neuberger Berman Genesis Trust Fund
   * Fidelity Equity Income Fund
   * Quebecor World Inc. Stock Fund
   * BlackRock International Index Fund
   * Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund (MSIF) Small Company
     Growth Portfolio

(5) Participant Loans

   An active participant may borrow against his or her vested
   account balance a minimum of $1,000 up to the lesser of
   $50,000 or 50% of his or her vested account balance, subject
   to certain restrictions.  Participant loans are charged
   interest at a fixed rate of 1% plus the prime rate at loan
   origination.  Outstanding loans at December 31, 2008, had
   interest rates ranging from 5% to 10.5%.  Loan transactions
   are treated as a transfer between the investment fund and the
   loan fund.

(6) Payment of Benefits

   Upon termination of employment, death, attainment of normal
   retirement age, or certain hardships, as defined by the
   Plan, participants may elect to withdraw amounts from the
   Plan.  Additionally, a participant may withdraw up to 100%
   of his or her rollover balance at any time.

(7) Related Party Transactions

   Certain Plan investments were in funds managed by a related
   party (Putnam Investments) of Mercer, the Plan's trustee.  As
   of August 3, 2007, Putnam Investments was sold to an
   unrelated third party.

   Until June 9, 2006, one of the investment options of the Plan
   was the subordinated voting shares of Quebecor World Inc.,
   the parent of the Plan Sponsor, through the Quebecor World
   Inc. Stock Fund.  The subordinated voting shares of Quebecor
   World Inc. are no longer offered as an option for new
   contributions to the Plan, however, existing balances in this
   investment will remain in the Plan until distributed.

(8) Commitments

   Of the total net assets available for benefits at
   December 31, 2008, $96,656,578 relates to accounts of
   participants who have terminated employment with the Company
   but who have not elected to receive distributions of their
   benefits. The distributions can occur upon request of the
   terminated participants.

(9) Subsequent Events

   On February 4, 2009, the Company amended the Plan to
   eliminate employer matching contributions on and after
   February 1, 2009.  On May 5, 2009, the Company amended the
   Plan to eliminate the annual employer non-elective,
   non-matching contribution for the years beginning on and
   after January 1, 2009.

QUEBECOR WORLD: Gets Nod for $750 Million Exit Financing
--------------------------------------------------------
In relation to the U.S. Plan Confirmation Order and the CCAA
Sanction Order, the Debtors and Quebecor World, Inc., are
authorized to enter into and perform and receive the proceeds of
the Exit Financing Arrangements or Exit Loan Facility, including
a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of
approximately $350,000,000 and a term loan in the aggregate
principal amount of approximately $450,000,000.

On the Effective Date or Implementation Date, all of the liens
and security interest to be granted by the Debtors and QWI in
accordance with the Exit Financing Arrangements or Exit Loan
Facility will deemed approved.

Quebecor World was earlier authorized to enter into and perform
obligations under the exit financing engagement letter they
entered into with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, GE
Capital Markets, Inc., and Wachovia Capital Markets LLC.

The Honorable Robert Mongeon of the Quebec Superior Court of
Justice entered into a parallel order authorizing Quebecor World,
Inc., and its affiliates to enter into the Exit Financing
Agreement.

Under the Exit Financing Letter, the Debtors and Quebecor World,
Inc., will have access to approximately $750 million in senior
secured credit facilities to be effective at or following the
effective date of the Plan of Reorganization with exit financing
amount consisting of any combination of:

(b) a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility
     with a letter of credit subfacility in an aggregate
     principal amount of $350 million to $450 million.

The Debtors will use the proceeds from the Exit Facility for,

Facility.  Advances under the DIP Facility, including issued but
undrawn letters of credit, totaled $589 million as of April 26,
2009, and are expected to reach $609 million on July 5, 2009.

In addition, the Debtors are parties to three other equipment
leases with GECC-related entities.

In a declaration, Pierre-Marc Sarrazin, a manager of corporate
finance for Quebecor World, Inc., discloses that the Debtors and
GECC have reached an agreement-in-principle on the material terms
on a series of transactions to implement an agreed restructuring
of the leased equipment.  In summary, the agreement provides for
the amendment and restatement of the Lease whereby the Debtors
will purchase seven items of equipment subject to the Lease, and
will extend the lease term with respect to those items of
equipment remaining subject to the Lease.

To secure the Debtors' obligations related to the extended lease
term for the six remaining items of equipment, the Debtors will
grant first priority liens on the equipment, as well as first
priority liens on the seven items of equipment being purchased by
the Debtors, which liens will be released at the request of the
Debtors upon any sale of certain excluded property.  The Debtors
will further secure their lease obligations in respect of the
remaining six items of equipment by granting junior, subordinate
liens on the three other leases and on the collateral securing
the exit financing being arranged in connection with the Debtors'
emergence from Chapter 11.  The three other leases will be
assumed in connection with the confirmation of the Debtors' Third
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization.

is available for free at:

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

The Debtors have determined that entry into the restructuring
transactions with GECC will have a positive impact on their
business operations.  Michael J. Canning, Esq., at Arnold &
Porter LLP, in New York, relates that the equipment subject to
the Amended and Restated Lease Agreement is important to
maintaining the Debtors' uninterrupted business operations, and
the Debtors have determined that leasing and purchasing the
equipment will preserve the Debtors ability to serve customers.

Mr. Canning adds that the cost and disruption to operations that
would necessarily arise if the Debtors were required to replace
the equipment would have adverse financial consequences to the
Debtors.  Moreover, the parties have agreed that no cure amount
will be due in connection with the assumption of the Amended and
Restated Lease Agreement.

Further, the Debtors asks the Court to lift the automatic stay
imposed under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent
necessary to permit them to perform their obligations
contemplated by the Term Sheet and the Amended and Restated Lease
Agreement and to grant the liens provided for under the Amended
Lease.

The Court will convene a hearing on July 14, 2009, to grant the
request.  Objections are due on July 13.

QUEBECOR WORLD: To Emerge from Bankruptcy Mid-July
--------------------------------------------------
As reported by the TCR on July 3, 2009, Judge James Peck of the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York and the Honorable Judge Robert Mongeon of the Quebec Superior
Court of Justice, in a joint hearing, approved the plan of
compromise filed by Quebecor World Inc. and its affiliates in
their cases before the Canadian Companies' Creditors Arrangement
Act and the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization filed by Quebecor
World (USA), Inc., and its debtor affiliates in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court.

Judge Peck confirmed the U.S. Debtors' Chapter 11 plan after
determining that the Plan meets each of the confirmation
requirements under Section 1129(a):

  (1) The Plan complies with Section 1129(a)(1) because:

      -- The Plan complies with the proper classification
         requirements of Sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the
         Bankruptcy Code because all Claims and Interests placed
         in each Class are substantially similar to other Claims
         or Interests in each such Class.

      -- the Plan specifies the Classes of Claims and Interests
         that are Unimpaired under the Plan.  Thus, the Plan
         satisfies Section 1123(a)(2).

      -- the Plan specifies the treatment of Claims and
         Interests in all Classes.  Thus, the Plan satisfies
         Section 1123(a)(3).

      -- the Plan provides for the same treatment for each Claim
         in each respective Class unless the holders of
         particular Claims have agreed to less favorable
         treatment with respect to the Claims.  Thus, the Plan
         satisfies section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

      -- the Plan provides adequate and proper means for
         implementation of the Plan. Thus, the Plan satisfies
         Section 1123(a)(5).

  (2) The Plan complies with Section 1129(a)(2) because the
      Debtors have complied with all of the provisions of the
      Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules governing notice
      and related matters in connection with the Plan, the
      Disclosure Statement, and all other matters considered by
      the Bankruptcy Court in their cases.

  (3) The Plan complies with Section 1129(a)(3) because the
      Debtors, the Creditors' Committee, the Ad Hoc Group of
      Noteholders, and the Syndicate Agreement Agent have
      negotiated the Plan in good faith and participated in the
      Plan formulation process in good faith.  The Chapter 11
      cases were filed, and the Plan was proposed, with the
      legitimate and honest purpose of reorganizing and
      maximizing the value of each of the Debtors and the
      recovery to holders of Claims and Interests under the
      circumstances of the Cases.

  (4) The Plan complies with Section 1129(a)(4) because payments
      that have been made by the Debtors for services or for
      costs and expenses in the Cases and the Plan has been
      approved by the Court as reasonable, thereby satisfying
      Section 1129(a)(4).

  (5) The Debtors have complied with Section 1129(a)(5).
      Specifically, the Debtors have disclosed the identity and
      affiliations of each proposed initial officer and director
      of the Reorganized Debtors.  The appointment to the office
      of each the  individual, is consistent with the interests
      of holders of Claims and Interests, and with public
      policy.  The Debtors have also disclosed the identity of
      and nature of any compensation for any insider who will be
      employed by the Reorganized Debtors.

  (6) Section 1129(a)(6) is satisfied because the Plan does not
      provide for any change in rates over which a governmental
      regulatory commission has jurisdiction.

  (7) The Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(7).  The liquidation
      analysis on the Disclosure Statement and other evidence
      proffered at the Confirmation Hearing (1) are persuasive
      accurate as of the dates the evidence was prepared, (2)
      either have not been controverted by other persuasive
      evidence or have not been challenged, (3) are based upon
      sound assumptions, (4) provide a reasonable estimate of
      the liquidation values of the Debtors upon conversion to a
      Chapter 7 case, and (5) establish that each holder of a
      Claim or Interest in an Impaired Class that has not
      accepted the Plan will receive under the Plan a value that
      is not less than the amount that it would receive if the
      Debtors were liquidated under Chapter 7.

  (8) All voting Impaired Classes have voted to accept the Plan.
      Thus, the Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(8).

  (9) The treatment under the Plan of Administrative Claims and
      claims pursuant to Section 503(b)(9) satisfies the
      requirements of Section 1129(a)(9)(A) and (B), and the
      treatment of Priority Tax Claims under the Plan satisfies
      the requirements of Section 1129(a)(9)(C).

(10) Each voting Impaired Class of Claims -- Class 1, Class 3,
      Class 4 and Class 5 -- has voted to accept the Plan,
      determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by
      any insider.  Thus, the Plan satisfies
      Section 1129(a)(10).

(11) The Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(11).  The financial
      projections on the Disclosure Statement and the evidence
      adduced at the Confirmation Hearing (1) are credible, (2)
      have not been controverted by other evidence, (3)
      establish the ability of the Debtors to pay their debts as
      they mature, and (4) establish that subject to, and upon
      consummation of, the transactions set forth as conditions
      to the Effective Date of the Plan, the Plan is feasible
      and that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be
      followed by the liquidation or the need for further
      financial reorganization.

(12) The Plan provides that (a) all fees payable pursuant to
      Section 1930 of the Judiciary and Judicial Procedure, as
      of the entry of the Confirmation Order as determined by
      the Court at the Confirmation Hearing, will be paid on
      the Effective Date, and (b) the Reorganized Debtors will
      continue to pay fees pursuant to Section 1930 until the
      earlier of the entry of an order closing the Chapter 11
      Cases.  Thus, the Plan satisfies the requirements
      of Section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(13) The Plan provides that, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(13),
      on and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits, if
      any, will continue to be paid in accordance with
      applicable law.  The Plan therefore satisfies the
      requirements of section 1129(a)(13).

(14) The Debtors do not owe any domestic support obligations,
      are not individuals, and are not nonprofit corporations.
      Therefore, Sections 1129(a)(14) does not apply to the
      Chapter 11 Cases.

(15) The Debtors do not owe any domestic support obligations,
      are not individuals, and are not nonprofit corporations.
      Therefore, Section 1129(a)(15) does not apply to the
      Chapter 11 cases.

July 2, 2009, is available for free at:

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

Mr. Justice Mongeon, at the conclusion of the joint confirmation
hearing held on June 30, 2009, entered a sanction order on QWI's
Plan of Compromise on that date after determining that the Plan
complied with the confirmation requirements of the CCAA.  A full-
text copy of the Sanction Order is available for free at:

       http://bankrupt.com/misc/QWI_CPlanSanctionORD.pd

                    Objections Overruled

All objections to confirmation of the Plans that have not been
withdrawn, waived, settled or addressed in the Plan are overruled
on the merits.

Prior to the entry of the confirmation orders, the Texas
Comptroller of Public Accounts, the State of Louisiana Department
of Revenue, and Riverside Claims, LLC, raised objections to the
confirmation of the Plans.

The Texas Comptroller complained that the Plan does not address
its claims and the claims of other taxing authorities that arise
from the Debtors' illegal prepetition operations.  The Louisiana
Revenue Department argued that the Plan violates Section
1129(a)(9)(C) by establishing a Distribution Reserve that sets up
a scheme whereby 100% of the priority taxes might not be paid in
full and the creditor left without recourse.  Riverside Claims
complained that the Debtors seek to prejudice the rights of
unsecured creditors by attempting to use a "deemed" consolidation
under the Plan to strip away a fundamental creditor protection
under the Bankruptcy Code.  Sharp Electronics Corporation
withdrew its Plan confirmation objection after negotiating a
resolution of its objection with the Debtors.

The Debtors, to address the Plan confirmation objections, filed a
memorandum of law in support of the confirmation of the Plans.
The Debtors asserted that any alternative to confirmation of the
Plan, including liquidation or attempts by another entity to file
a different plan of reorganization, could result in significant
delays, litigation, costs and lower recoveries to the holders of
Impaired Classes of Claims.  The Debtors believe that their
businesses and assets have significant value that would not be
realized in a liquidation scenario, either in whole or in
substantial part.

The Debtors maintained that the Plan, as modified, satisfies all
of the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and should be
confirmed notwithstanding the Objections and argued that the Plan
Objections either misread or misinterpret certain provisions of
the Plan or fail to state a sufficient legal basis to deny
confirmation of the Plan.

Michael J. Canning, Esq., at Arnold & Porter LLP, in New York, on
behalf of the Debtors, argued that the limited consolidation of
the Debtors under the Plan is appropriate and consistent with the
Bankruptcy Code and is in the best interests of the creditors.

The Debtors also asserted that they have made substantial efforts
during the course of their bankruptcy to maintain compliance with
their tax obligations in the ordinary course of business, and
intend to work diligently with the taxing authorities to
liquidate the amounts of their prepetition and postpetition tax
claims.  The Debtors have taken into account all reasonable
estimates of their prepetition and postpetition tax liabilities
in preparing the Plan Projections and determining the feasibility
of the Plan and believe that they will have sufficient assets to
satisfy all Allowed Priority Tax Claims in accordance with the
Plan.

The Debtors added that they intend to work diligently over the
next 30 days to resolve each of the objections to assumption of
contracts under the Plan, and, as to any cure objection that
cannot be resolved consensually, to seek a Court hearing to
resolve the objection.

Jeremy Roberts, chief financial officer of QWI; James J. Gambino,
corporate claims manager of QWI; Jean-Daniel Breton, senior vice-
president of Ernst & Young Inc.'s Montreal, Canada office; filed
separate memorandum of law and declarations in support of the
Plans.

                   Plan Amendments & Exhibits

To further address the Plan confirmation objections, the Debtors,
prior to the confirmation hearing, filed "immaterial"
modifications of the U.S. Plan, additional Plan exhibits, and
supplement to previously filed Plan exhibits.

* Plan Modifications

The Plan was further amended to provide that:

(a) The Administrative Claims that are allowed as of the
    Effective Date will be paid in cash on the Effective Date in
    accordance with Section 1129(a)(9)(A).

(b) Section 503(b)(1)(D) exempts governmental units from filing
    a request for allowance and payment of certain
    administrative expenses and nothing in the Plan contravenes
    that provision of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) To the extent a taxing authority is entitled to interest on
    a Priority Tax Claim, interest will accrue on the Priority
    Tax Claim at the applicable rate from the Effective Date of
    the Plan, in accordance with Sections 511 and 1129(a)(9)(C)
    and Allowed Priority Tax Claims will be paid on a periodic
    basis to the extent that the Debtors elect to make
    distributions on the claims pursuant to the provisions of
    Section 1129(a)(9).

(d) The Plan will not release any Released Party from any Cause
    of Action held by a governmental entity existing as of the
    Effective Date based on (i) the Internal Revenue Code of
    other domestic state tax code, (ii) the environmental laws
    of the United States, or (iii) any criminal Jaws of the
    United States Of any domestic state, city or municipality.

REAL MEX: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B-'
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed the
ratings on the Cypress, California-based Real Mex Restaurants
Inc., including its 'B-' corporate credit rating.  This action
comes after the company priced $130 million of the senior secured
notes at a 17.98% yield with a 14% coupon and 90% original issue
discount.

"We previously expected company to issue $110 million of notes to
refinance its outstanding senior secured notes; as a result of the
increased principal of $130 million, leverage is not materially
different," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Charles Pinson-
Rose.  Despite the higher principal, interest coverage and cash
flows are actually slight better than originally contemplated.
Operating-lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA will be about 6.5x on a
pro forma basis, while adjusted EBITDA interest coverage will be
about 1.5x, up from 1.3x, as previously expected.

The ratings on Real Mex reflect the company's highly leveraged
capital structure, its participation in the intensely competitive
casual dining restaurant industry, and its geographic
concentration.

At the end of its last fiscal year (Dec. 28, 2008), Real Mex
operated 190 restaurants, of which 156 were located in California,
where unemployment and consumer spending have been particularly
weak.  This likely will pressure sales for the balance of 2009.
Real Mex is the largest operator of Mexican casual dining
restaurants, but also faces competition from other subsectors of
casual dining and from quick service restaurants, both of which
have been promoting value offerings and discounting heavily.
These factors had a significant impact on the company's sales in
the first quarter as comparable store sales were down by 9.1% and
total revenue declined by 6.6%.  S&P expects that these negative
sales trends will continue for at least the next two quarters and
possibly longer.

REMEDIATION FINANCIAL: Court Resets DS Hearing to September 1
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona has
continued to September 1, 2009, at 11:00 a.m., the hearing on RFI
Realty, Inc., and its affiliated debtors' amended disclosure
statement.

The hearing was initially set for April 22, 2009, then reset to
June 25, 2009.

The deadline for the Debtors to circulate a redline copy of their
amended disclosure statement is extended through
August 14, 2009, and the deadline for filing statements of
remaining unresolved issues with the Debtors' amended disclosure
statement is extended to August 24, 2009.

In its motion, the Debtors told the Court that since the
termination of the SunCal purchase and sale agreement in 2008,
they have sought to enter into a new sale agreement for their
approximately 1,000 acres of land in Santa Clarita, California.
They said they are in continuing negotiations with an interested
party over the sale of Debtors' property.  The new sale, if
agreement is reached, will form an important part of an amended
plan.

In view of the foregoing, the Debtors said that it is premature to
circulate a redlined amended disclosure statement or to hold a
hearing on approval of the amended disclosure statement on the
current schedule.

The Debtors filed their Disclosure Statement and Joint Plan on
January 28, 2005.

RH DONNELLEY: Gets Court Nod to Hire Sidley Austin as Counsel
-------------------------------------------------------------
R.H. Donnelley Corp. and its affiliates obtained approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to employ
Sidley Austin LLP as their general reorganization and bankruptcy
counsel nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

Mark W. Hianik, Esq., the Debtors' senior vice president, general
counsel, and corporate secretary, tells the Court that the
Debtors' cases are complex and needs a counsel with extensive
experience in litigation, corporate, real estate, labor and
employment, employee benefits, intellectual property, banking,
and tax law.  Sidley Austin, he relates, has a global corporate
reorganization and bankruptcy practice composed of roughly 60
attorneys, plus attorneys in numerous other principal areas of
practice that have sub-specialties in bankruptcy-related issues.
The firm is frequently retained to act as general bankruptcy
counsel in complex Chapter 11 cases commenced in the District of
Delaware, including:

  -- Smurfit-Stone Container Corp.,
  -- Pliant Corp.,
  -- Merisant Worldwide, Inc.,
  -- Tribune Company,
  -- Hilex Poly Co.,
  -- Pliant Corp.,
  -- Meridian Automotive Systems-Composite Operations,
  -- The Flintkote Co. and Flintkote Mines Ltd.,
  -- Federal-Mogul Global Inc., and
  -- Owens Corning.

In the months leading up to the Petition Date, Sidley advised the
Debtors on restructuring and insolvency issues, including factors
pertinent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, as well as
on general corporate, banking, insurance, labor and employment,
and tax matters, and in so doing, Sidley has become intimately
familiar with the Debtors and their affairs, Mr. Hianik says.

As the Debtors' counsel, Sidley Austin will:

  (a) provide legal advice with respect to the Debtors' powers
      and duties as debtors-in-possession in the continued
      operation of their businesses;

  (b) take all necessary action on behalf of the Debtors to
      protect and preserve the Debtors' estates, including
      prosecuting actions on behalf of the Debtors, negotiating
      any and all litigation in which the Debtors are involved,
      and objecting to claims filed against the Debtors'
      estates;

  (c) prepare on behalf of the Debtors all necessary motions,
      answers, orders, reports, and other legal papers in
      connection with the administration of the Debtors'
      estates;

  (d) attend meetings and negotiate with representatives of
      creditors and other parties-in-interest, attend Court
      hearings, and advise the Debtors on the conduct of their
      Chapter 11 cases;

  (e) advise and assist the Debtors regarding all aspects of the
      plan confirmation process, including, but not limited to,
      negotiating and drafting a plan of reorganization and
      accompanying disclosure statement, securing the approval
      of a disclosure statement, soliciting votes in support of
      plan confirmation, and securing confirmation of the plan;

  (f) perform any and all other legal services for the Debtors
      in connection with these Chapter 11 cases and with
      implementation of the Debtors' plan of reorganization;

  (g) provide legal advice and perform legal services with
      respect to matters involving the negotiation of the terms
      and the issuance of corporate securities, matters relating
      to corporate governance, and the interpretation,
      application or amendment of the Debtors' organizational
      documents, including their articles of incorporation, by-
      laws, material contracts, and matters involving the
      fiduciary duties of the Debtors and their directors and
      officers;

  (h) provide legal advice and legal services with respect to
      litigation, tax, and other general non-bankruptcy legal
      issues for the Debtors to the extent requested by the
      Debtors; and

  (i) render other services as may be in the best interests of
      the Debtors and all other necessary or appropriate legal
      services in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.

On January 5, 2009, Sidley received $500,000 from the Debtors and
the outstanding fees and expenses owed by the Debtors were
approximately $173,738, and the balance, aggregating $326,262,
was an advance payment retainer.  The Advanced Payment Retainer
was supplemented by additional advance payments of:

   Date                  Payment Amount
   ----                  --------------
   March 10, 2009          $1,117,053
   March 23, 2009            $449,319
   April 10, 2009            $419,161
   April 24, 2009            $363,390
   April 30, 2009            $395,823
   May 7, 2009               $450,000
   May 12, 2009              $500,000
   May 20, 2009              $400,000
   May 26, 2009              $350,000

The Advance Payment Retainer was allocated prior to the Petition
Date to time spent and expenses incurred prior to the Petition
Date, including both expenses that were recorded prior to the
Petition Date and those which were recorded after the Petition
Date.  To the extent that the time spent and expenses incurred
prior to the Petition Date turns out to be less than the Advance
Payment Retainer allocated prior to the Petition Date, Sidley
Austin will return the excess to the Debtors.

During the one year period before the Petition Date, the funds
received from the Debtors by Sidley for services rendered or to
be rendered in contemplation or in connection with the Chapter 11
Cases did not exceed $4,911,927.

The Debtors will pay Sidley Austin on an hourly basis and
reimburse reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses.  The
hourly rates of Sidley's bankruptcy and other professionals and
para-professionals range from $90 to $925.

Paul S. Caruso, Esq., a partner at Sidley Austin, assures the
Court that his firm does not hold or represent any interest
adverse to the Debtors' estates in matters upon which it is to be
engaged, and is a "disinterested person" within the meaning of
Section 101 (14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Conaway Stargatt & Taylor as their bankruptcy co-counsel, nunc pro
tunc to the Petition Date.

According to Mark W. Hianik, Esq., the Debtors' senior vice

Conaway has discussed the division of responsibilities with
Sidley Austin LLP, the Debtors' proposed lead counsel, and will

RH DONNELLEY: Wins Court Nod to Hire Sitrick as Consultant
----------------------------------------------------------
R.H. Donnelley Corp. and its affiliates obtained approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to employ
Sitrick and Company, Inc., as corporate communications consultant,
nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

In light of the size of their Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors say
that they require the services of seasoned and experienced
corporate and crisis communications consultant, and one that is
familiar with their business operations and the Chapter 11
process.  The Debtors contend that Sitrick is particularly well
suited to serve as the their corporate communications consultant.
During the period leading up to the Petition Date, the Debtors
disclose that Sitrick worked closely with them to develop a
comprehensive communications strategy and materials, which were
used in the public announcement of the Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors believe that in having a corporate communications
consultant, other professionals in the Chapter 11 Cases and
company officers who might otherwise handle corporate
communications matters will be able to focus better on their
competencies and their core tasks to efficiently and effectively
manage the Debtors' business operations and to facilitate a
successful Chapter 11 process.

As the Debtors' communications consultant, Sitrick will write and
distribute press releases, and consult on public relations
strategy, media relations and media monitoring in connection with
the Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors will pay Sitrick its standard hourly rates, which
range from $185 to $850, depending on the particular
professional.  Sitrick has received a refundable retainer fee of
$160,000.  When the Retainer has been exhausted, additional time
charges will be billed as incurred.  In addition, Sitrick has
received an expense advance of $10,000 to cover reasonable and
necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred.  When the Expense
Advance has been exhausted, additional time charges will be
billed as incurred.

The Debtors agreed to defend, indemnify and hold Sitrick harmless
from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, demand,
action, cost and expense resulting from claims made against
Sitrick by any third party which arise out of or in connection
with the certain services to be rendered by Sitrick.

Michael S. Sitrick, the chairman and chief executive officer of
Sitrick, assures the Court that his firm is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

SCOTT CABLE: Chapter 11 Case Converted to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that the best interests of creditors and the
bankruptcy estate would be served by the conversion of a debtor's
Chapter 11 case to one under Chapter 7, rather than dismissal, due
to the debtor's inability to effectuate a plan.  A related
proceeding was pending in another bankruptcy court and would
resolve the last remaining administrative task in the debtor's
case.  In re Scott Cable Communications, Inc., --- B.R. ----, 2009
WL 1681492, 103 A.F.T.R.2d 2009-2308 (Bankr. D. Conn.).

The United States, representing the Internal Revenue Service,
moved to convert Scott Cable's case to one under Chapter 7 or,
alternatively, for appointment of Chapter 11 trustee.  The
Bankruptcy Court, 2002 WL 1988166, denied the government's motion.
The government appealed.  The United States District Court for the
District of Connecticut, 2007 WL 2669108, affirmed, and then, on
rehearing, 2008 WL 4614287, vacated and remanded with directions.
On remand, the Honorable Alan H.W. Shiff, J., held that (1) the
debtor's inability to effectuate a plan provided cause for
conversion of case, and (2) conversion, rather than dismissal,
served best interests of creditors and bankruptcy estate, and
granted the government's motion to convert.

Scott Cable Communications, Inc., began its quest for bankruptcy
relief on Feb. 14, 1996, when it commenced a
Chapter 11 case in the District of Delaware (Bankr. D. Del Case
No. __-______).  Scott successfully prosecuted a chapter 11 plan
to confirmation in Delaware on December 6, 1996.  Among other
things, that plan called for the issuance of "New Restructured
Third Secured PIK Notes" in the amount of
$38.9 million that would be secured by all of Scott's assets and
be subordinated to other security interests, and the PIK Notes
were issued on December 19, 1996.  On July 10, 1998, Scott
executed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of all of its
property.  The sale would generate approximately $29.9 million in
capital gains taxes and $7.5 million in other federal and state
taxes. That agreement was not submitted to the Delaware bankruptcy
court.   The Delaware case closed on July 31, 1998.  On October 1,
1998, Scott filed a second Chapter 11 case (Bankr. D. Conn. Case
No. 98-51923) with a prepackaged plan which was premised upon
events that occurred in the Delaware case.  The Connecticut filing
included a prepackaged liquidation plan which contemplated a sale
of all of Scott's property.  The plan did not provide for the
payment of any capital gains taxes.  On November 13, 1998, the
Connecticut court authorized the sale of Scott's assets.  On
November 16, 1998, the government objected to confirmation,
arguing, inter alia, that the prepackaged plan was a tax avoidance
scheme.


SEMGROUP ENERGY: Posts $1.7 Million Net Loss for 2008 Q4
--------------------------------------------------------
SemGroup Energy Partners, L.P., reported a net loss of
$1.7 million on total revenues of $42.9 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2008, as compared to net income of
$7.3 million on total revenues of $30.2 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2007.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, total revenues were $192.2
million compared with $74.6 million in 2007, an increase of 158
percent.  SGLP recorded net income of $17.8 million in 2008
compared with a net loss of $12.9 million by SGLP and its
predecessor in 2007.  The predecessor did not record any revenue
associated with the gathering and transportation and terminalling
and storage services provided on an intercompany basis, but did
recognize the costs of providing such services.

SGLP's 2008 results were impacted by the bankruptcy filings of
SemGroup, L.P. -- Private Company -- and certain of its
subsidiaries.  SGLP is not a party to these bankruptcy filings.

Since December 31, 2008, SGLP:

   -- settled certain matters between the Private Company and
      SGLP, pursuant to which the parties entered into new
      agreements governing their relationship and transferred
      ownership of certain assets;

   -- entered into a Consent, Waiver and Amendment to its
      Credit Agreement with its lenders, under which the
      lenders consented to the Settlement and waived all
      existing defaults and events of default described in
      SGLP's forbearance agreement and amendments thereto;

   -- entered into storage contracts or leases with third party
      customers relating to 45 of its 46 asphalt facilities;
      and

   -- has continued to pursue opportunities to provide crude
      oil terminalling and storage services, crude oil
      gathering and transportation services and asphalt
      services to third parties.

The opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the
Company's independent auditor, which opinion was included in
SGLP's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008,
included in the 2008 Form 10-K contains a "going concern"
qualification.  The qualification states that SGLP "has
substantial long-term debt, a deficit in partners' capital,
significant litigation uncertainties, and other issues, which
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern."

Kevin Foxx, SemGroup Energy Partners president and chief executive
officer, said, "Our operating results were obviously negatively
affected by the Private Company's filing for bankruptcy.  In this
challenging environment, we have focused our efforts on third
party agreements for our crude oil terminalling and storage, crude
oil gathering and transportation and asphalt services businesses
independent of the Private Company. We now look forward to the
opportunity to get back to our goal of growing our business and
being a leading provider of services in the crude oil and asphalt
industry."

As of December 1, 2008, SGLP had $354,641,000 in total assets;
$32,929,000 in total current liabilities, $ 448,100,000 in long-
term debt, and $255,000 in long-term capital lease obligations;
and $126,643,000 in total partners' deficit.

SOBEYS INC: S&P Changes Outlook to Positive; Keeps 'BB+' Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on
Stellarton, N.S.-based Sobeys Inc. to positive from stable.  At
the same time, S&P affirmed the ratings, including the 'BB+' long-
term corporate credit rating on the company.

"We base the outlook revision on what S&P view as the company's
progress toward lower leverage despite the prevailing weak
economic conditions," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Donald
Marleau.

The ratings on Sobeys reflect the company's No. 2 market share
position in Canada and improving operating results that, in S&P's
opinion, have contributed to steady deleveraging since the
company's privatization and acquisition activities in 2007.  These
strengths are tempered in Standard & Poor's view by the highly
competitive nature of the Canadian food retailing industry, as
well as weak economic conditions.

Sobeys is Canada's second-largest food retailer, with revenues of
C$14.7 billion for the fiscal year ended May 2, 2009.  It has more
than 1,300 corporate and franchised stores across Canada operating
mainly under the Sobeys, IGA, IGA extra, Price Chopper, Foodland,
and Thrifty Foods banners.  Sobeys is wholly owned by Stellarton,
N.S.-based holding company Empire Co. Ltd. (not rated), and is its
primary asset.

The company's full-year results are solid in S&P's view, with a
revenue increase of 7.3% driven by same-store sales growth of
5.2%, which is higher than retail food price inflation of about
3.0% and stronger than that of its peers over a similar period.
Moreover, the financial risk profiles of both Sobeys and Empire
have improved in the past year, with the stronger operating
performance at Sobeys and the C$135 million equity by Empire in
April 2009.

In recent years, Sobeys has made significant investments in
modernizing its store network, supporting solid SSS growth that
S&P believes should insulate it somewhat from the Canadian
expansion of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s (AA/Stable/A-1+) retailing
square footage for food products.  That said, the emphasis on
full-service store formats could become a weakness if consumers
shift their shopping habits toward discount stores due to the
slowing economy, although strong evidence of this has yet to
manifest itself.

The positive outlook reflects S&P's belief that Sobeys could
improve its profitability and credit measures despite challenging
market conditions in the coming year.  The company's solid
business risk profile is already indicative of an investment-grade
rating in S&P's opinion; however, Standard & Poor's believes
Sobeys still needs to demonstrate the resilience of its financial
risk profile through difficult economic conditions.  Moreover, the
company must preserve its commitment to an intermediate financial
policy, as demonstrated recently with the equity issue at the
Empire level.  S&P could raise the rating on Sobeys if the company
maintains its recent operating trends that preserve debt leverage
of below 3.5x on a sustained basis.  Although less likely in the
near term, a weakening of Sobeys' operating performance or a debt-
financed acquisition causing a meaningful deterioration of the
credit metrics, including adjusted debt to EBITDA reaching 4x,
could create downward pressure on the ratings.


SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC: Moody's Cuts Preferred Stock Rtng to Ba2
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the long term issuer and
senior unsecured ratings for Southwestern Electric Power Company
to Baa3 from Baa1.  SWEPCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of
American Electric Power Company (Baa2 senior unsecured / negative
outlook).  This rating action concludes a review for possible
downgrade that was initiated on February 4, 2009.  The rating
outlook for SWEPCO is stable.

The rating downgrade primarily reflects the continued weakness in
SWEPCO's balance sheet and over-all financial profile as well as
the materially higher business and operating risk profile
associated with the construction of a new coal-fired generation
facility (Turk Plant).  Prospectively, Moody's expects a
significant and sustained weakening of SWEPCO's financial profile
over the next several years.

"The regulatory, environmental and execution risks associated with
the Turk Plant create a materially higher business and operating
risk profile for SWEPCO" said Jim Hempstead, Senior Vice
President, "and this elevated risk profile is expected to be
accompanied by much weaker financial metrics over the next few
years."

The construction program is expected to contribute to the pressure
on SWEPCO's financial metrics, where the ratio of cash flow from
operations before working capital adjustments (CFO pre-w/c) to
total adjusted debt is expected to fall to approximately 10% over
the next few years.  Moody's expects a similar decline in many of
SWEPCO's other key financial credit ratios, which position SWEPCO
as a weak Baa3 vertically integrated utility.  Nevertheless, over
the long-term horizon, Moody's believes SWEPCO is fundamentally an
investment grade utility and Moody's take some comfort in its
ownership by AEP.

An unusually high amount of risk is associated with constructing
the Turk plant, and is incorporated into the Baa3 rating.  These
risks include the numerous legal and regulatory challenges
currently facing the Turk plant's Arkansas Certificate of
Environmental Compatibility and Public Need), the air permit, the
PUCT's conditional permit, wetlands preservation efforts and
requests for regulatory recovery of financing costs on
construction work in progress (i.e., CWIP).

Moody's is particularly concerned with the recent Arkansas Court
of Appeal's decision "reversing" the Public Service Commission's
CECPN order.  Moody's observe that SWEPCO petitioned the Arkansas
Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeal's decision.  In
Moody's opinion, there is a considerable amount of uncertainty
related to SWEPCO proceeding with construction while the legal
process develops.  Under a worse case scenario, where construction
is abandoned and a full impairment occurs, as disclosed on June
29, 2009, SWEPCO's portion currently amounts to an approximately
$550 million construction write-off and $100 million cancellation
charges on a pre-tax basis.

"While legal challenges related to coal-fired construction are not
that unusual in this sector" Hempstead added "the current
environmental momentum appears to be heightening these risks, and
SWEPCO's decision to proceed with construction will create a
continual exposure to these risk over the intermediate-term
horizon."

The stable outlook reflects Moody's view that ownership by
American Electric Power, the parent entity, enables SWEPCO to
endure the weakened credit profile for a period of time while
SWEPCO attempts to mitigate its legal and regulatory challenges.
The stable rating outlook acknowledges the heightened event risks
associated with the Turk plant.  Additional rating downgrades
could materialize depending on how the legal challenges evolve and
depending on the mitigation efforts that SWEPCO may pursue.

Moody's last rating action for SWEPCO occurred on February 4,
2009, when the rating was placed on review for possible downgrade.

Southwestern Electric Power Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of American Electric Power Company.  American Electric Power
Company is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.

STANDARD BEEF: Court Okays Reorganization Plan
----------------------------------------------
Allison Schwartz at New Haven Independent reports that the Hon.
Lorraine Murphy Weil of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Connecticut has approved a plan for The Standard Beef Co. to
reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

According to New Haven, Standard Beef remains in business and is
keeping 25 workers.

New Haven relates that Henry Bawarsky, who took over the business
in 1949, said that by reorganizing under Chapter 11, Standard Beef
can continue operating, keep its customers, and compete with other
companies.

Standard Beef, New Haven states, is launching a new brand called
Harry's Premium Meats, which will update Standard Beef with the
trends of the industry.  Standard Beef will also deliver fresh
packaged meat to supermarkets to cut costs, broadening its
customer base from meatpackers and butchers, New Haven reports.

The Standard Beef Co. is based in New Haven, Connecticut.  It
sells fresh meat, cheese, poultry products, unpackaged frozen fish
in wholesale.  It also sells bird treats or snacks, poultry food,
live food for birds, bird seed, fresh chicken, fresh meat or
poultry and frozen meat or poultry.  It was founded by the
Bawarsky family in 1921.  The Company survived the Depression and
the war, and has remained in the family's hands through three
generations.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on February
6, 2008 (Bankr. D. Conn. Case No. 08-30377).  Carl T. Gulliver,

STERLING MINING: Wants Plan Filing Period Extended to Dec. 2
------------------------------------------------------------
Sterling Mining Company asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Idaho to extend its exclusive period to file a plan
until December 2, 2009, and its exclusive period to solicit
acceptances thereof until February 1, 2010.

The Debtor tells the Court it is currently in no position to
propose a plan that would have the creditors support until the
Sunshine Lease issues are resolved.  The Debtor is presently
negotiating and litigating with SNS Silver Corp. and Sunshine
Precisous Metals Inc. to determine the amount of defaults with
regard to the lease.

                      About Sterling Mining

Based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Sterling Mining Company (OTCBB:SRLM
and FSE:SMX) -- http://www.SterlingMining.com/-- is a mineral
resource development and exploration company.  The company has a
long term lease on the Sunshine Mine in North Idaho's Coeur
d'Alene Mining District.  The Sunshine Mine is comprised of 5,930
patented and unpatented acres, and historically produced over 360
million ounces of silver from 1884 until its closure in early
2001.  Sterling Mining leased the Sunshine Mine in June 2003,
along with a mill, extensive mining infrastructure and equipment,
a large land package, and a database encompassing a long history
of exploration, development and production.

As of September 30, 2008, Sterling Mining had $31.9 million in
total assets, and $13.2 million in total current liabilities and
$1.6 million in total long-term liabilities.  In its schedules,
the Debtor listed total assets of $11,706,761 and total debts of
$14,159,010.

Sterling Mining filed for bankruptcy protection on March 3, 2009
(Bankr. D. Idaho Case No. 09-20178).  Bruce A. Anderson, Esq., at
Elsaesser Jarzabek Anderson Marks Elliott & McHugh, Chartered
represents the Debtor as counsel.


STUDIO PARC: Real Property, Cash Still With State Receiver
----------------------------------------------------------
Studio Parc Acquisition LLC filed an emergency motion before the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando
Division, seeking to prohibit debtor Studio Parc Redevelopment LLC
from using cash collateral.

Studio Parc Acquisition, Inc., is a single purpose entity created
by McKinley, Inc. to acquire the loan that is secured by the real
and personal property previously owned by F.F. Kirkman and now
owned by the Debtor.

On April 30, 2009, SPA obtained an uncontested Summary Final
Judgment of Foreclosure for $13,436,428.50 foreclosing its first
mortgage on 163 residential condominium units that are located in
Orange County, Florida.  The mortgage foreclosure sale was
scheduled to take place at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 2, 2009.

Lynn J. Hinson, Esq., at Dean, Mead, Egerton, Bloodworth,
Capouano & Bozarth, P.A., recounts that at the time the mortgage
foreclosure case was filed in the Circuit Court in and for Orange
County, Florida, the Debtor did not own an interest in the Units,
and was not joined as a defendant.  The Debtor did not acquire an
interest in the Units until after the Foreclosure Judgment was
entered and did not seek to intervene in the Foreclosure Case.

The Debtor, which is a single purpose entity, did not obtain title
to or any other interest in the Units until a deed (or deeds) was
apparently recorded on the morning of Friday, May 29, 2009.  Late
the same day, the Debtor filed for Chapter 11 to prevent the
mortgage foreclosure sale that was scheduled four days later from
taking place.

This is the second time that the Units have been the subject of a
Chapter 11 case which was filed in the Orlando Court.  F.F.
Kirkman, LLC, which was the predecessor in title to the Units,
filed for Chapter 11 on March 27, 2008 (Case No. 08-02303).  The
case was dismissed by Court order on December 12, 2008.

All of the Units are unsold, and all or substantially all are
being leased to residential lessees.  The sole source of income is
rents that are derived from leasing the Units.  SPA has an
assignment of and a security interest in the Rents.  The property
that was foreclosed upon includes all of the Units, the Rents and
other property related to the Units.

Therefore, the Rents constitute cash collateral, according to Ms.
Hinson.  Section 363(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code prohibits a
debtor from using cash collateral unless each entity that has an
interest in such cash collateral consents or the Court enters an
order authorizing use of cash collateral.  SPA does not consent to
the use of its cash collateral, and accordingly, the Debtor is
prohibited from using the cash collateral.

                    Debtor: Motion Is Premature

The Debtor in response says the Motion is premature inasmuch as
the cash collateral claimed by SPA is now in the possession of H.
NiCole Barry, Receiver, who has not surrendered any cash
collateral to the Debtor, and the Debtor has not yet filed a
motion for the use of cash collateral.

The Debtor does not dispute that the rents constitute cash
collateral, as stated by SPA, but otherwise, the emergency motion
is devoid of any authority that would prohibit the use of cash
collateral.

Hersh Inc., the Debtor's predecessor, acquired the Real Property
pursuant to a Sheriff's Sale on March 11, 2009.  The Receiver was
appointed on January 14, 2009.  Since her appointment, the
Receiver has been collecting the rents belonging to Hersh and now
the Debtor, pursuant to an Order in the Foreclosure Action.
However, the Receiver has not been applying those rents to
the condominium fees attributable to each of the Debtor's Units,
for which she collects rent.

The Debtor and its predecessor, Hersh, have legitimate concerns
regarding the management of the Debtor's Units by the Receiver.
Included among those concerns are payments by the Receiver for
repairs and improvements in an amount substantially in excess of
the fair market value of the repairs.  Upon information and
belief, the Receiver intends to pay for substantial repairs and
improvements over the next 4-6 weeks.  Moreover, the Receiver has
not been successful in leasing the Debtor's Units since her
appointment, with the vacancy level remaining at approximately
30%.

The Debtor has a substantial financial interest in its
reorganization.  The Debtor's predecessor and ultimate owner,
Hersh, is owed more than $700,000 for construction services
provided to the Real Property.  According to the Debtor, the
Chapter 11 was filed so that it could market and sell its Units in
an orderly manner, at their fair market value, thereby maximizing
the proceeds from sale.  The proceeds from sale will be used to
satisfy the lien held by SPA, to pay junior lien interests, real
property taxes, unsecured creditors and Hersh. The Debtor believes
there is sufficient equity in the Real Property to pay all lien
holders, not just SPA.

The Debtor has no objection to the Receiver remaining in
possession of the Real Property, including the rents claimed as
cash collateral by SPA, pursuant to an order of the Court, with
these provisions:

    i. That the Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over the Cash
       Collateral in the hands of the Receiver;

   ii. That the Receiver provide a weekly budget of proposed
       expenditures to the Debtor each Friday, for the following
       week;

  iii. That the Receiver pay the condominium fees of the Debtor's
       Units, for which she is collecting rent;

   iv. That the Receiver agree to meet with Roseanne Gorman, the
       Asset Manager for the Debtor, during normal business hours,
       no more than once a week to review the operations of the
       Real Property, collection of rent and payment of expenses;

    v. That the Receiver may not spend more than $3,000 for any
       one repair or improvement, without the written approval of
       the Debtor; and

   vi. That any such order allowing the Receiver to remain in
       possession of the Real Property and to use the Cash
       Collateral shall terminate 45 days from the date of the
       Order, unless an extension is agreed to by SPA and the
       Debtor.

                    Cash Collateral Use Allowed

According to a Pro Memo signed by Judge Arthur B. Briskman, the
State Receiver is permitted to pay insurance premiums, maintenance
employees, and small miscellaneous items not to exceed $1,300.

The Debtor is expected to file a disclosure statement and plan.  A
confirmation hearing will be held August 20, 2009.

SUNBELT GRAIN: Court Finds No Basis for Equitable Subordination
---------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports there was no evidence that the secured lender for
a Chapter 7 debtor, an operator of grain elevators, engaged in
fraud, breached its fiduciary duty, or controlled the debtor.
Thus, the lender's claim could not be equitably subordinated to
the unsecured claim of a feedyard operator that prepaid the debtor
for corn lots which the debtor did not deliver.  In re Sunbelt
Grain WKS, LLC, --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL 1708814 (Bankr. D. Kan.).

Creditors filed an involuntary Chapter 7 petition (Bankr. D. Kan.
Case No. 08-10204) against Sunbelt Grain WKS, LLC, on February 4,
2008.  Security State Bank was one of the petitioning creditors.
Steven Speth was appointed Chapter 7 trustee.  After the order for
relief was entered on March 5, 2008, the trustee sought and
obtained court approval to sell Sunbelt's grain inventory.  The
sale occurred on April 10, 2008.  Thereafter, the Court approved
the trustee's disbursement of a portion of the sale proceeds to
various open storage holders.  Security State Bank and Whitham
Farms Feedyard, L.P., asserted competing claims to the remainder
of the corn sale proceeds held by the trustee, approximately
$3.3 million.  The trustee, in turn, commenced an adversary
proceeding (Bankr. D. Kan. Adv. Pro. No. 08-5112) on May 29, 2008,
to determine these parties' interests in the sale proceeds.
Ruling on Security State Bank's summary judgment motion, the
Honorable Robert E. Nugent held that (1) association trade rules
governed contracts between Whitham and the debtor for sale of lots
of corn; (2) Whitham did not have an ownership interest in
undelivered corn for which it had prepaid, absent evidence that
the debtor had sufficient corn on hand to fulfill the buyer's
contract when the prepayment was made; (3) the lender's security
interest attached to the corn that the debtor did not own when it
contracted with the buyer or when the buyer prepaid the debtor for
the corn; and (4) there was no evidence supporting equitable
subordination of the lender's claim.

TOYS R US: Unit to Issue $950MM of Sr. Unsec. Notes Due 2017
------------------------------------------------------------
Toys "R" Us, Inc., reported last week the pricing of
$950 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes
due 2017 to be issued by TRU 2005 RE Holding Co. I, LLC, which
will be renamed Toys "R" Us Property Company I, LLC, one of its
wholly owned subsidiaries.

The notes will have an interest rate of 10.750% per annum and are
being issued at a price equal to 97.399% of their face amount at
maturity.  TRU 2005 RE Holding Co. I as Issuer estimates that the
gross proceeds from the offering will be roughly $925 million.
The Issuer intends to use the cash proceeds from the offering of
the notes, together with the proceeds from the transfer of certain
properties to its affiliate Toys "R" Us - Delaware, Inc., cash
contributions from Toys "R" Us, Inc., and cash on hand to repay
the Issuer's existing $1.3 billion senior unsecured credit
agreement. The notes are solely the obligation of the Issuer and
are not guaranteed by Toys "R" Us, Inc. or Toys "R" Us - Delaware,
Inc.

The notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in
reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the
United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on the exemption
from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities
Act.  The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act,
or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may
not be offered or sold in the United States without registration
or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act.

MAP Real Estate, LLC; Wayne Real Estate Company, LLC; TRU 2005 RE
I, LLC; and TRU 2005 RE II Trust serve as guarantors.

The closing of the sale of the Notes is expected to occur on or
about July 9, 2009.

On June 24, 2009, Toys-Delaware and certain of its subsidiaries
entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among Toys-
Delaware, as lead borrower, Toys "R" Us (Canada) Ltd. Toys "R" Us
(Canada) Ltee, as Canadian borrower, certain other subsidiaries of
Toys-Delaware, as facility guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, Canadian Agent and Co-Collateral Agent,
Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC, as Co-Collateral Agent, and the
other lenders.

The Amended Agreement extends the maturity date of a portion of
Toys-Delaware's existing asset-based revolving credit facility to
May 21, 2012.  The existing credit agreement, which was set to
expire on July 21, 2010, provided up to $2.0 billion of borrowing
capacity, subject to a borrowing base.

The Amended Agreement provides for a bifurcation of the existing
facility into a $1.526 billion tranche maturing on
May 21, 2012, and bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin
of 3.75%, 4.00% or 4.25% depending on availability -- Extended
Tranche -- and a $516.5 million tranche maturing
July 21, 2010, and continuing to bear an interest rate of LIBOR
plus a margin of between 1.00% and 2.00% depending on availability
-- Existing Tranche.

The Amended Agreement also provides for a "LIBOR floor" of 1.50%
applicable to any borrowings under the Extended Tranche that are
subject to pricing based on adjusted LIBOR.

The Amended Agreement also revises certain other terms of the
existing facility to reflect current market conditions and, except
as noted above with respect to maturity and pricing, most of such
amended terms apply to both the Existing Tranche and the Extended
Tranche.  The requirement under the Existing Agreement for Toys-
Delaware to maintain a minimum excess availability of $125 million
is amended under the Amended Agreement to require "capped"
availability at all times (except during the holiday period) of no
less than the greater of (x) $125 million and (y) 12.5% of the
"line cap" (which is the lesser of the total commitments at any
time and the aggregate combined borrowing base).

During the "holiday period", which runs from October 15 to
December 15 each year starting in 2010, Toys-Delaware must
maintain "capped" availability of no less than $100 million and
"uncapped" availability of no less than 15% of the aggregate
combined borrowing base, unless Toys-Delaware has otherwise
elected for the non-holiday thresholds to apply for such holiday
period.

Other changes to the Existing Credit Agreement effected by the
Amended Agreement include: (i) termination of the tranche A-1
"first in last out" facility; (ii) amending the accordion feature
(which currently allows Toys-Delaware to use existing collateral
to obtain up to $500 million of additional capacity) so that
following July 21, 2010 the accordion size becomes equal to the
difference between the total commitments (if less than $2 billion)
and $2 billion; (iii) increasing the availability requirements
with respect to cash dominion and certain covenants such as
reporting and examinations/appraisals; and (iv) making the pro
forma availability condition applicable for Toys-Delaware to make
use of certain debt and investment baskets.

Similar to the Existing Agreement, the Amended Agreement (i)
permits borrowings by the Canadian borrower up to a sublimit of
$200 million, (ii) has a $400 million letter of credit sublimit,
(iii) is secured by a first lien on substantially all assets
(including inventory and receivables), (iv) determines
availability pursuant to a borrowing base formula and (v) provides
that if an event of default shall occur and be continuing, the
commitments may be terminated and any principal amount
outstanding, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other
amounts owed, may be declared immediately due and payable.

Toys "R" Us, headquartered in Wayne, New Jersey, is the largest
specialty retailer of toys, with annual revenues of around
$14 billion.  It operates stores both in the U.S. and
internationally, as well as the Babies "R" Us format.

At May 2, 2009, the Company had $8,303,000,000 in total assets;
$2,144,000,000 in current liabilities, $5,646,000,000 in long-term
debt, $72,000,000 in deferred taxes, $265,000,000 in deferred
rent, and $367,000,000 of Other non-current liabilities;
$297,000,000 in Toys "R" Us, Inc. stockholders' deficit, and
$106,000,000 in Noncontrolling interest; and Total stockholders'
deficit of $191,000,000.


UNISYS CORP: S&P Raises Rating on $400 Mil. Senior Notes to 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its rating on
Blue Bell, Pennsylvania-based Unisys Corp.'s $400 million senior
notes due 2012 to 'B' from 'CC', and removed it from CreditWatch,
where it was placed with developing implications on April 30,
2009.  In addition, S&P affirmed the 'B' rating on the company's
$300 million senior notes due March 2010.  This rating is not on
CreditWatch.  Due to the value and composition of the offers for
the 2010 and 2012 notes, S&P does not view these exchanges as
distressed.

S&P also revised the CreditWatch on the 'CC' corporate credit
rating and the 'CC' rating on the $150 million notes due 2015 and
$210 million notes due 2016 to Negative from Developing.  The
CreditWatch revision reflects S&P's view that, given the tender
agreement with 2015 and 2016 noteholders, the exchange would
include transactions S&P would characterize as distressed.

"S&P's rating actions follow the company's revised offers for all
outstanding notes," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Martha
Toll-Reed.  It is a condition to the completion of the exchange
offer that notes representing at least 40% of each of the 2010 and
2012 notes have been validly tendered, although the company
retains the option to proceed if less than 40% of the notes are
validly tendered.

"If the transaction is consummated," added Ms. Toll-Reed, "we
would lower the rating on the 2015 and 2016 notes to 'D' and the
corporate credit rating to 'SD' (for selective default)."  Pending
an expeditious review of the post-exchange capital structure, it
is S&P's preliminary expectation that S&P would raise the
corporate credit rating and all affected issue ratings to 'B'.
S&P believes the exchange sufficiently addresses the near-term
maturity of the 2010 notes, and that even with the absence of a
revolving credit facility, Unisys would maintain adequate
liquidity.


UNITED ARTISTS: Court Reviews Notice to Class Action Plaintiffs
---------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that material issues of fact existed as to
whether, consistent with due process, a Chapter 11 debtor provided
notice of its bankruptcy case to the then-putative class members
in a prepetition state-court class action brought against the
debtor pursuant to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.  These
factual issues precluded a partial summary judgment for a class
member on this question in its action to have the discharge order
entered in the debtor's favor declared null and void as to the
pursuit and collection of the state-court judgment against the
debtor.  In re United Artists Theatre Co., --- B.R. ----, 2009 WL
1748495 (Bankr. D. Del.).

On November 18, 1999, ESI Ergonomic Solutions, L.L.C., filed a
complaint against United Artists and American Blast Fax, Inc., in
Maricopa County Superior Court of the state of Arizona (Case No.
CV99-20649) claiming that United Artists and American Blast
violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. Sec.
227.  The TCPA bars sending a junk fax advertisement without
obtaining prior express invitation or permission of the recipient,
and provides for statutory damages of $500 per junk fax violation.
ESI alleged that, in September 1999, United Artists and American
Blast sent 90,000 movie-ticket advertisements to fax machines in
the metro-Phoenix area without receiving express permission or
invitation.  The complaint was filed as a putative class action
wherein ESI sought to represent the class of those individuals and
entities who received the junk fax advertisement.

On September 5, 2000, United Artists Theatre Co., along with
numerous related entities, filed voluntary petitions for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
00-03514).  On November 7, 2000, ESI filed a class proof of claim
in the chapter case.  That proof of claim acknowledges that the
claim is a prepetition unsecured non-priority claim against United
Artists.  United Artists obtained confirmation of its chapter 11
Plan of Reorganization on January 22, 2001, and emerged from
chapter 11 on March 2, 2001, under the terms of that confirmed
plan.

On November 7, 2003, the Maricopa County Superior Court entered
summary judgment in favor of the class for at least 57,600 TCPA
violations, resulting in an aggregate statutory damage award
against United Artists and American Blast of $28.8 million plus
pre-and-post-judgment interest at the rate of ten percent per
annum.  United Artists filed motions to decertify the class and to
vacate or reconsider the grant of partial summary judgment.  The
Arizona state court denied both motions.

On March 13, 2008, Hacienda Heating & Cooling, Inc., which was
member of class certified in a state-court class action brought
prepetition against United Artists, filed another class action
complaint against United Artists in the U.S. District Court for
the District of Arizona, seeking to have the discharge granted to
the debtor declared null and void in pursuit and collection of the
$28.8 million award entered in the state-court action on the
grounds that notice of the debtor's bankruptcy case was not sent
to then-putative class members and, if notice was sent, that the
notice was inadequate.  Following transfer of venue (Bankr. D.
Del. Adv. Pro. No. 09-50896), Hacienda moved for partial summary
judgment, and United Artists moved for a continuance.  The
Honorable Peter J. Walsh, held that (1) factual issues precluded
summary judgment for claimant on issue of whether notice of
bankruptcy case was sent to class members, and (2) factual issues
precluded summary judgment for claimant on issue of adequacy of
notice of bankruptcy case sent to class members.


UTSTARCOM INC: Settles Merger Dispute with PCD Holdings
-------------------------------------------------------
UTStarcom, Inc., on June 30, 2009, entered into a Settlement
Agreement & Release with Personal Communications Devices Holdings,
LLC, and Personal Communications Devices, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of PCD Holdings LLC, relating to the merger agreement
among the Company, UTStarcom Personal Communications LLC, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, PCD Holdings LLC and PCD LLC
dated as of June 30, 2008 and the supplier agreement between the
Company and PCD LLC dated
July 1, 2008.

Under the Settlement Agreement, PCD Holding LLC and PCD LLC have
agreed to release certain potential claims or actions against the
Company and the Company has agreed to release certain potential
claims or actions against PCD LLC and PCD Holdings LLC arising
under the Merger Agreement and the Supplier Agreement.

In consideration of the release and settlement in the Settlement
Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the lesser of (i)
approximately $11.1 million and (ii) the amount of certain PCD LLC
customers' warranty claims arising from the products specified in
the Settlement Agreement in two equal installments on or before
July 15, 2009 and August 15, 2009, to satisfy potential
liabilities arising from warranty claims by such customers.

PCD LLC has agreed to pay to the Company approximately
$10.4 million in payments that were withheld by PCD LLC under the
Supplier Agreement which amount takes into account a separate
agreement contained in the Settlement Agreement for the Company to
accept return of certain products to the Company, which offset the
gross amount of withheld payments (approximately $11.7 million).

PCD LLC also has agreed to sell the Company's remaining inventory
of products specified in the Settlement Agreement to carriers as
long as certain conditions specified in the Settlement Agreement
are met.

In addition, the Company has waived its right under the Merger
Agreement to receive any additional consideration payable as part
of an earn-out provision in the Merger Agreement and to purchase
any additional equity interests in PCD Holdings LLC.  Also, under
the Settlement Agreement, PCD Holdings LLC or its designee will
have an option to repurchase the Company's current equity position
in PCD Holdings LLC within 90 days of the date of the Settlement
Agreement at its original investment cost of $1.6 million.  The
Company, PCD Holdings LLC and PCD LLC also agreed to instruct the
escrow agent holding
$10 million pursuant to the Merger Agreement to release such funds
to the Company.

UTStarcom, Inc. (Nasdaq: UTSI) -- http://www.utstar.com/-- is a
global leader in IP-based, end-to-end networking solutions and
international service and support.  The company sells its
solutions to operators in both emerging and established
telecommunications markets around the world.  The company was
founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Alameda, California.

                        Going Concern Doubt

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in San Jose, California, in its
March 2, 2009, report said UTStarcom, Inc.'s recurring losses and
expected negative cash flows from operations raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company incurred net losses of $150.3 million,
$195.6 million and $117.3 million during the years ended December
31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  During the three months
ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded a net loss of $67.4
million.  The Company recorded operating losses in 16 of the 17
consecutive quarters in the period ended March 31, 2009.  At March
31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $908.9
million.  The Company incurred net cash outflows from operations
of $55.2 million and $225.1 million in 2008 and 2007 respectively.
Cash used in operations was $12.0 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $299.6 million in the aggregate to meet the
Company's liquidity requirements of which $192.8 million was held
by its subsidiaries in China.  China imposes currency exchange
controls on transfers of funds from China.  Going forward, the
amount of cash available for transfer from the China subsidiaries
for use by the Company's non-China subsidiaries is limited both by
the liquidity needs of the subsidiaries in China and by Chinese-
government mandated limitations including currency exchange
controls on transfers of funds outside of China.  Management
expects the Company to continue to incur losses and negative cash
flows from operations over at least the remainder of 2009.

The Company's only committed sources for borrowings are its credit
facilities in China. Each borrowing under these facilities is
subject to the banks' then current favorable opinion of the credit
worthiness of the Company's China subsidiaries, the banks having
funds available for lending, and other Chinese banking regulations
and practices.  As a result, management cannot be certain that
borrowings under these facilities will be adequate, if available
at all, to meet the Company's liquidity requirements.  In
addition, these credit facilities expire in the second half of
2009.  Upon expiration of these facilities, management is not
certain that new credit facilities will be available on
commercially reasonable terms or at all.  Even if these facilities
are renewed upon expiration, based on the Company's recent
financial performance, the total available credit may be reduced.
Accordingly, management is not certain that borrowings under the
Company's credit facilities in China will be adequate to meet the
Company's financing requirements.

Management believes that if the Company is able to achieve
projected sales levels in 2009 and contain expenses and cash used
in operations to levels contemplated in the Company's 2009
financial plan, both the Company's China and non-China operations
will have sufficient liquidity to finance working capital and
capital expenditure needs during the next 12 months.  If the
Company is not able to execute its 2009 financial plan
successfully, the Company may need to obtain funds from equity or
debt financings.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had $1,173,619,000 in total
assets and $769,390,000 in total liabilities.

VELOCITY EXPRESS: Burdale Capital Issues Default Notice
-------------------------------------------------------
Velocity Express Corporation received a copy of a letter dated
June 29, 2009, addressed to Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee,
for the holders of the Company's Senior Secured Notes.  The letter
was from Burdale Capital Finance, the Company's senior secured
lender pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement for a revolving
line of credit dated as of March 13, 2009.

The letter was a Senior Default Notice/Payment Blockage Notice.
Burdale notified the Trustee that certain Senior Covenant Defaults
existed under its Loan Agreement with the Company, including
defaults with respect to delivery of financial statements and with
respect to minimum liquidity.  The Notice also indicated that the
Company was projecting defaults in its maximum fixed charge
coverage ratio, including defaults which would be caused by the
Company making the June 30, 2009 interest payment due to the
Noteholders.  Burdale provided notice that pursuant to the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement between itself and the Trustee, the
Company was not authorized to make, and the Trustee was not
authorized to retain, a payment with respect to the Notes,
including without limitation, the interest payment due June 30,
2009.  Such payment blockage was stated to be in effect until the
earliest to occur of (a) the waiver of all existing defaults, (b)
the repayment of the senior indebtedness to Burdale in full, or
(c) the passage of 180 days from the date of the Notice.

On July 2, 2009, the Company received a letter from Burdale in
which Burdale gave the Company notice of defaults relating to its
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum liquidity, delivery
of timely financial information, and failure to make the June 30,
2009 interest payment due to the holders of the Senior Notes.
Burdale stated that it is not currently exercising any of the
rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Agreement by
reason of such defaults, but that it and reserved all of its
rights to take action with respect to such defaults in the future.

VISTEON CORP: Transfer of Stock Restricted to Protect NOLs
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Christopher Sonchi has granted the request for uniform
procedures to govern the transfer of common stock of Visteon
Corporation, on a final basis.  No objection was filed to the
proposal.

The Debtors subsequently presented to the Court a notice of
Notification Procedures Applicable to Substantial Holders of
Common Stock and Notification and Hearing Procedures for Trading
in Common Stock.  A full-text copy of the Notice is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/Visteon_StockTransferNotice.pdf

The Debtors note that failure to follow the Common Stock Transfer
Procedures will constitute a violation of the automatic stay
provisions under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Laura Davis Jones, Es., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, said that the Debtors have $2.5 billion in
net operating losses, $231 million in capital losses, $400 million
in built-in losses, and $700 million in tax credits.  Pursuant to
Sections 39(a), 59(e), 172(b), and 904(c) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, the Debtors note that they are able to carry back
and then forward the Tax Attributes to offset future taxable
income and tax liability, thereby resulting in a cash refund of
recent tax paid and improved liquidity in the future.

However, to the extent trading or transfers of Common Stock
results in an "ownership change" within the meaning of Section
382 of the IRC, that trading or transfers could severely limit or
even eliminate the Debtors' ability to use their Tax Attributes
and lead to significant negative consequences for the Debtors,
their estates, and the overall reorganization process, Ms. Jones
points out.  An ownership change, for purposes of Section 382,
occurs when the percentage, by value, of stock of a corporation
owned by more than 5% shareholders has increased by more than 50
percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by
that shareholder at any time during a three-year period.  If an
"ownership" were to occur during the course of the Chapter 11
cases, Section 382 would limit the amount of taxable income that
the Debtors could offset by their "pre-change losses" in taxable
years to an annual amount equal to the value of the corporation
prior to the "ownership change" multiplied by the long-term tax
exempt rate.

According to Ms. Jones, by establishing procedures for
continuously monitoring the trading of Common Stock, the Debtors
can preserve their ability to seek substantive relief at the
appropriate time, particularly if it appears that additional
trading may jeopardize the use of their Tax Attributes.

Accordingly, at the Debtors' behest, the Court establishes these
uniform procedures for trading of the Debtors' Common Stock:

  (1) Any entity that currently is or becomes a Substantial
      Shareholder must file with the Court, and serve on the
      counsel to the Debtors, a declaration of that status
      before the later of (i) 40 days after the date of the
      Notice of Order or (ii) 10 days after becoming a
      Substantial Shareholder.

  (2) Prior to effectuating any transfer of Common Stock that
      would result in an (i) increase or (ii) decrease in the
      amount of Common Stock of which a Substantial Shareholder
      has Beneficial Ownership or would result in an entity (i)
      becoming a Substantial Shareholder or (ii) ceasing to be a
      Substantial Shareholder, that Substantial Shareholder must
      file with the Court and serve on the counsel to the
      Debtors an advance written declaration of the intended
      transfer of Common Stock.

  (3) The Debtors will have 20 calendar days after receipt of a
      Declaration of Proposed Transfer to file with the Court
      and serve on that Substantial Shareholder an objection to
      any proposed Common Stock transfer on the grounds that the
      transfer might adversely affect the Debtors' ability to
      utilize their Tax Attributes.  If the Debtors file an
      objection, that transaction would not be effective unless
      the objection is withdrawn by the Debtors or that
      transaction is approved by a final order of the Court that
      becomes non-appealable.  If the Debtors do not object
      within that 20-day period, that transaction could proceed
      solely as set forth in the Declaration of Proposed
      Transfer.

A "Substantial Shareholder" refers is any entity that has
Beneficial Ownership of at least 6,400,000 shares of the Debtors'
Common Stock.  "Beneficial Ownership" of Common Stock includes
direct and indirect ownership, ownership by the holder's family
members and entities acting in concert with that holder to make a
coordinated acquisition of stock and ownership of shares that the
holder has an option to acquire.  An "Option" to acquire stock
includes any contingent purchase, warrant, convertible debt, put,
stock subject to risk of forfeiture, contract to acquire stock or
similar interest, regardless of whether it is contingent or
otherwise not currently exercisable.

WATERWORKS INC: Design Investors Declared Winning Bidder
--------------------------------------------------------
An investor group led by Design Investors LLC has won the bid to
acquire national luxury furnishings brand Waterworks Inc.  The
final sale hearing, at which time the court should approve the
transaction and the final closing takes effect, will take place in
several weeks.

The announcement, which follows a successful two-month
reorganization of the Waterworks business after the former company
filing of a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code -- coincident with the bid by Design Investors and their
related round of financing and purchase of Waterworks' debt --
means that the Waterworks business will continue as a new entity,
outside of bankruptcy, once the sale is final.

The move is led by Design Investors' Founder and Partner Peter
Sallick, and Partner Meg Touborg.  Mr. Sallick also served for 13
years as Waterworks CEO, while Ms. Touborg formerly served as
Waterworks Chief Brand Officer -- both through 2006.  Mr.
Sallick's parents, Barbara and Robert, founded Waterworks in 1978.
The family sold Waterworks in 2005.  Leading brands in the design
marketplace, Twill Textiles and Rose Tarlow Melrose House, form
the balance of the Design Investors portfolio.

Once the sale is final, Mr. Sallick will take on management
responsibilities at Waterworks, and Ms. Touborg assumes her role
as board member and advisor.

"Waterworks is among the most unique and special brands; it has a
very bright future ahead of it," remarks Peter Sallick, Founder
and Partner, Design Investors.  "The strength of the Waterworks
brand -- its reputation and relationships, its everlasting
commitment to top-quality product design, and the talent of the
many people who helped see it through this recent transition
period -- is enhanced only by the potency of the organization as a
streamlined new entity."

The successful and swift acquisition by Design Investors reflects
the soundness of Waterworks' performance throughout the transition
-- and the strength of the resultant new entity and its long-term
business proposition.  Over the two-month period, Waterworks used
the reorganization to sharpen its focus on its main tenets:
flagship showrooms, great products, and exceptional customer
service.  The restructuring entailed closing Waterworks showrooms
in secondary locations -- enabling a concentration of resources in
larger markets, in the commercial market, and in product
development -- and included the retention of key sales consultants
to act as outside representatives, creating a new channel of
distribution and furthering a planned expansion of sales to third-
party partners.

The result is a powerful new model for Waterworks focused on: core
clients in the true flagship areas; future expansion into a
broader geography by way of enhanced distribution; and increased
product development and innovation.

All Waterworks business operations -- including honoring all new
and existing client orders -- functioned without interruption
throughout the reorganization.  At the same time, aggregate
financing and equity provided by Design Investors of approximately
$15 million, to fund operating expenses and meet supplier,
customer, and employee commitments, will ensure a healthy balance-
sheet for the new Waterworks, and its ability to move forward and
expand.

Waterworks has a presence in key markets across North America
through showrooms, wholesale, commercial, and direct-to-consumer
channels.

YONKERS RACING: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's assigned a B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2 Probability
of Default Rating to Yonkers Racing Corporation.  Moody's also
assigned a B1 rating to the company's proposed $225 million senior
secured second lien notes due 2016.  Proceeds from the new notes
will be used to repay the company's existing term loan that
matures in July 2010.  All ratings are subject to the receipt and
review of final documentation.  The rating outlook is stable.

The B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Yonkers' small size,
single property concentration risk, and the likely eventual
increase in gaming supply in the company's primary market area.
Positive ratings consideration is given to Yonkers' good operating
performance to date, convenient location, and favorable population
and demographic characteristics of its primary market area.  Also
considered is the company's moderate pro forma leverage, which is
about 4 times.  The B1 rating on the second lien notes, one notch
above the Corporate Family Rating, reflects the credit cushion
provided by the company's $78 million senior subordinated notes
(unrated).

The stable rating outlook anticipates that Yonkers will be able to
generate positive free cash flow and maintain debt/EBITDA at or
below 4 times despite the negative impact of competitive pressure
and the challenging economic environment.

First time ratings assigned:

  -- Corporate Family Rating at B2

  -- Probability of Default Rating at B2

  -- $225 million senior secured second lien notes due 2016 at
     B1 (LGD 3, 38%)

Yonkers Racing Corporation owns and operates a gaming and
entertainment facility comprised of Empire City Casino and Yonkers
Raceway.  The facility is located in Yonkers, New York.  The
company currently generates annual net revenue of approximately
$200 million.


YONKERS RACING: S&P Assigns Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to Yonkers Racing Corp.  The rating outlook is
stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned YRC's proposed $225 million senior
secured notes an issue-level rating of 'B+' (at the same level as
the 'B+' corporate credit rating) with a recovery rating of '3',
indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
for noteholders in the event of a payment default.

"The 'B+' corporate credit rating reflects the company's limited
diversity as an operator of a single property, S&P's expectation
of heightened competition with the introduction of slot gaming at
the Aqueduct Racetrack, and the revenue allocation structure
imposed by the State of New York on slot machine total win," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Listner.

The property does, however, benefit from an attractive location
and strong market demographics.  Yonkers maintains an aggressive
financial profile, although credit measures are reasonably good
for the rating.  In addition, there exist several factors over the
near-to-intermediate term that will necessitate a prudent
allocation of the company's capital resources, including the
potential construction of a parking garage and the need to
refinance high-cost mezzanine debt by its 2013 maturity.

YRC intends to use proceeds from its proposed $225 million senior
secured notes due 2016 to repay all outstanding amounts on its
existing senior secured credit facility, make the final payment on
a settlement executed in October 2006 as a result of an
investigation relating to potential contamination of the Bronx
River, pay termination fees associated with the company's interest
rate swaps, and pay transaction fees and expenses.  The company
expects to issue the notes with an original issue discount and pay
interest semiannually on Jan. 15 and July 15 of each year.  S&P
expects the notes to represent senior secured obligations of YRC
and that they will rank junior to a new $10 million senior secured
revolving credit facility that the company will issue in
conjunction with the notes.  In addition to an optional redemption
provision of up to 35% of the aggregate principal of the notes
prior to July 15, 2012, the company may redeem up to 10% of the
original principal amount during each of the first four years
after the issuance date at a price of 103% of the principal amount
of notes redeemed.  Pro forma for the note issuance and repayment
of term debt, S&P expects that YRC's leverage will approximate 4x
for the 12 months ended May 31, 2009.

YRC owns and operates the gaming and entertainment facility
comprising Empire City Casino and Yonkers Raceway, located in
Yonkers, New York, approximately 15 miles from New York City's
Times Square.  The racetrack, which was founded in 1899, has been
owned and operated since 1972 by the Rooney family of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.  In 2001, New York State enacted legislation
authorizing slot machines at nine specific horse racing
facilities, including Yonkers Raceway.  Yonkers was closed from
June 2005 through October 2006 (and fully reopened in March 2007)
for the purposes of renovating the existing club house and
equipping the facility with 2,500 slot machines and constructing a
new one-story building to hold an additional 3,000 slot machines.
Empire City Casino is New York State's largest casino and the
sixth largest casino in North America based on the total number of
gaming positions, which currently exceeds 5,300 slot machines.

Given its private ownership status, YRC does not publicly disclose
its financial information.  However, credit measures are good for
the 'B+' rating, and current EBITDA margins compare favorably with
racinos in neighboring states.  S&P expects that the company will
have the flexibility to utilize the prepayment option on its note
offering and allocate free cash flow to repay this debt as allowed
for under the terms of the issuance.


* Bridge Associates Founder Anthony H. N. Schnelling Dies
---------------------------------------------------------
Bridge Associates LLC reported the passing of Anthony H.N.
Schnelling, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and one of
Bridge's Founding Members.  On July 7, Mr. Schnelling passed away
at the age of 62 at his home -- Meri-Mac Farm -- in Amenia, New
York after a valiant battle against cancer.

Fluent in six languages, Mr. Schnelling's accomplishments were
many and diverse, including receiving a BA from Swarthmore
College, an MBA from the Harvard Business School and a JD from the
Fordham Law School.  A prolific author and lecturer, Mr.
Schnelling served as Vice President of Development for the
American Bankruptcy Institute and was a member of the
organization's Board of Directors.  Mr. Schnelling was recently
honored by his peers when he was elected as a Fellow of the
American College of Bankruptcy.

Three years ago, Mr. Schnelling and his partners resolved to
expand the firm's senior ranks and its service offerings through
aggressive recruiting efforts.  These efforts were rewarded with
the addition of numerous experienced practitioners throughout
Bridge's seven office locations, as well as the addition of a
successful healthcare turnaround and restructuring practice.

Eighteen months ago Bridge launched a focused initiative to
transition the actual day-to-day leadership of the firm to a
broader group of senior leaders.  Earlier this year, Bridge's
executive committee appointed David N. Phelps and Louis E.
Robichaux IV as Co-Managing Members of Bridge with responsibility
for the day-to-day leadership of the firm.  Mr. Phelps, who served
as Bridge's Chief Operating Officer, has nearly 30 years of
experience in strategy development, along with extensive
experience in operational and financial restructurings and mergers
and acquisitions.  Mr. Robichaux is a leading restructuring,
crisis management and financial advisory practitioner with
extensive experience in the healthcare industry. Carl H. Young
III, a Founding Member of Bridge, will continue his
responsibilities as President and will assume the additional role
of Chairman.

As a result of these strategic initiatives, the Executive
Committee of Bridge believes that the firm has strengthened its
position in the turnaround and restructuring marketplace and is
well-configured for future success.

The Members and Associates of Bridge extend their deepest sympathy
to Tony's family and friends during this time of loss.  In lieu of
flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to The
Anthony Schnelling Lectureship Series in Commercial Bankruptcy at
Fordham University School of Law, attention Julie Lucas, 140 West
62nd Street, New York, New York 10023.

A memorial service will be held at Fordham Law School at a later
date.

Last Updated: July 2, 2009



                           *********

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 $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
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

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/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.
