ACCELLENT INC: Moody's Rates Proposed $870MM 1st Lien Debt 'B2'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 rating to Accellent Inc.'s
proposed first lien senior secured credit facilities, including a
$75 million revolving credit facility expiring 2019, and a $795
million first lien term loan due 2021. Moody's also assigned a
Caa2 rating to the company's proposed $260 million second lien
term loan due 2022. Accellent's B3 Corporate Family Rating and B3-
PD Probability of Default Ratings were confirmed. At the same
time, Moody's affirmed Accellent's SGL-2 Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating. The rating outlook is stable. This rating action
concludes the ratings review on Accellent initiated on February 3,
2014.

The proceeds from the proposed credit facilities, along with
excess cash and new equity from Lake Region's founding owners,
will be used to acquire Lake Region Medical ("Lake Region"),
refinance Accellent's existing debt, and pay transaction fees and
expenses. Lake Region, based in Chaska, Minnesota, is a designer
and producer of proprietary guidewires, coils, precision-machined
products and custom devices for the cardio and vascular medical
device markets. Upon close of the acquisition, the combined
company will be renamed Lake Region Medical.

The confirmation of the CFR and PDR reflects Moody's view that
while the combined company will continue to operate with high
financial leverage, Moody's views the transaction positively from
a credit perspective, as the company's interest burden is expected
to decline and the acquisition of Lake Region will create a market
leading supplier to the medical device industry. The acquisition
also enhances the depth and breadth of Accellent's cardiovascular
product offering. Moody's also views the potential for meaningful
cost synergy opportunities from the acquisition favorably. In
addition, the combination provides complementary product
capabilities, as catheters and guidewires are often used together
in clinical applications, providing the combined business with
potential revenue synergy opportunities.

The following is a summary of Moody's rating actions:

Accellent Inc.:

Ratings assigned:

  $75 million senior secured revolving credit facility at B2
  (LGD 3, 39%)

  $795 million senior secured first lien term loan at B2 (LGD 3,
  39%)

  $260 million senior secured second lien term loan at Caa2
  (LGD 6, 90%)

Ratings confirmed:

  Corporate Family Rating, at B3

  Probability of Default Rating at B3-PD

The following ratings are confirmed and will be withdrawn upon
close of the transaction:

  $75 million senior secured ABL revolving credit facility at Ba3
  (LGD 1, 2%)

  $400 million senior secured notes at B1 (LGD 3, 31%)

  $315 million 10% senior subordinated notes at Caa2 (LGD 5 82%)

The rating outlook is stable.

The Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-2 has been affirmed

Ratings Rationale

Accellent's B3 CFR reflects the company's high financial leverage,
modest interest coverage, and significant customer concentration
among the largest medical device manufacturers. The ratings also
reflect the company's high reliance on end-user demand trends,
which have exhibited volatility in recent quarters. The B3 rating
also reflects the substantial integration and execution risks
inherent in the consummation of the Lake Region acquisition, the
largest acquisition in Accellent's history.

The stable outlook reflects the company's solid growth
opportunities within the cardio and vascular segment following the
acquisition of Lake Region, offset by integration and execution
risks inherent in consummating the largest acquisition in the
company's history.

The ratings could be downgraded if top-line pressure accelerates
such that leverage increases, or if operating margins, cash flow,
or sources of liquidity deteriorate. In addition, the ratings
could be lowered if the company engages in material debt-financed
shareholder initiatives. The ratings could be upgraded if top-line
growth improves and credit metrics, including free cash flow to
debt and debt to EBITDA, are sustained above 5% and below 5.5
times, respectively.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Medical Product and Device Industry published in October 2012.
Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for
Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and
EMEA published in June 2009.

Wilmington, Massachusetts-based, Accellent, Inc. is an outsourcing
company that performs manufacturing and engineering services,
primarily for leading companies within the medical device
industry. The company operates under two reportable business
segments: Advanced Surgical and Cardio & Vascular. Accellent is
privately owned by affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
(KKR) and Bain Capital LLC. The company generated net sales of
approximately $509 million for the last twelve months ended
September 30, 2013


ACCELLENT INC: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating to $870MM 1st Lien Loans
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on Wilmington, Mass.-based contract manufacturer of
medical devices Accellent Inc.  S&P removed this rating from
CreditWatch, where it placed it on Feb. 3, 2014.  The outlook is
stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B' credit rating to
Accellent's $75 million revolving credit facility and $795 first-
lien term loan.  S&P assigned its 'CCC+' credit rating to the
company's $260 million second-lien term loan.  S&P's recovery
rating on the revolver and the first-lien term loan is '3',
indicating its expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery of
principal, and its recovery rating on the second-lien term loan is
'6', indicating its expectation for negligible (0 to 10%) recovery
of principal, both in the event of payment default.

S&P's issue-level ratings on Accellent's existing debt are
unchanged.  S&P expects this debt to be redeemed in connection
with the acquisition, at which time it will withdraw these
ratings.

"The rating affirmation incorporates our view that Accellent's
planned acquisition of Lake Region Medical, also a manufacturer of
medical devices, and the refinancing of its capital structure will
have only a modest impact on our assessment of Accellent's
business and financial risk profiles," said credit analyst Gail
Hessol.  "We still view Accellent's business risk profile as
"weak", reflecting its position in an industry that is highly
fragmented, global, and with low barriers to entry.  Considering
the numerous competitors in the field, Accellent must contend with
the much stronger bargaining position of its customers, which
contributes to pricing pressure.  This key risk factor is
unchanged by the Lake Region acquisition."

S&P's rating outlook on Accellent is stable, reflecting its
expectation that leverage will remain high for the next several
years, despite EBITDA growth.

Downside Scenario

A lower rating would likely be predicated on the loss of a major
contract or poor execution on the integration of the Lake Region
acquisition.  In such a scenario, margins would erode
substantially.  S&P could lower the rating in the unlikely event
that its gross margin falls more than 550 basis points, coupled
with a revenue decline, which could result in a free operating
cash flow deficit (after capital expenditures).  S&P might also
consider a downgrade if availability of the revolver is impaired,
possibly a result of increased working capital requirements.

Upside Scenario

An upgrade is highly unlikely, given prospects for sustained high
leverage and considerable business risk.


ACOSTA INC: S&P Retains 'B+' CCR Following $340MM Add-On Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its 'B+' corporate
credit rating and stable outlook on Jacksonville, Fla.-based sales
and marketing agency Acosta Inc. remains unchanged following the
announced $340 million add-on to the term loan B due March 2018 to
fund the acquisition of Anderson Daymon Worldwide (ADWW).  At the
same time, S&P is affirming the 'B+' issue rating on the first-
lien credit facilities, including the revolver and term loan B.
The '3' recovery rating, which indicates S&P's expectation of
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for first-lien lenders in the
event of a payment default, remains unchanged.

The $340 million add-on will increase the term loan B balance to
about $1.6 billion.  However, S&P views the transaction as nearly
neutral to credit metrics given the estimated EBITDA contribution
from ADWW.  The acquisition significantly increases the company's
position with Costco.

S&P estimates the company will have about $2.3 billion in balance
sheet debt outstanding following the transaction.

The ratings on Acosta reflect S&P's assessment that the company's
business risk profile will remain "satisfactory" and its financial
risk profile will remain "highly leveraged" over the next year.
S&P's business risk assessment primarily reflects the favorable
industry dynamics and its belief that Acosta will increase sales
and profits as consumer packaged goods producers (Acosta's main
customers) will increase outsourcing of sales and marketing
functions.  Primary factors in our financial risk assessment
include weak credit ratios and an "adequate" liquidity profile.
During 2014, S&P forecasts the ratio of total debt to EBITDA will
remain between 5.8x and 6.4x and EBITDA interest coverage will
remain near 2.6x.

ADAYANA INC: Wants Executory Contract Option Period Extended
------------------------------------------------------------
Adayana Inc., nka Persist Liquidating Corporation, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana to extend,
until April 14, 2014, the "Executory Contract Option Period"
contained in an asset purchase agreement with AVX Learning LLC.

Michael P. O'Neil, Esq., at Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP,
counsel of the Debtor, says the Debtor consummated the sale of
substantially all of its assets to AVX Learning on Jan. 10, 2014.
The Executory Contract Option Period expired on Feb. 9, 2014, Mr.
O'Neil notes.

According to the Debtor, AVX and CP Pyramids Associates LP, the
Debtor's landlord, are continuing to discuss either entering into
a new lease for the non-residential real property commonly known
as the sixth, seventh and eight floors of Pyramids Building No. 3
in Indianapolis, Indiana, or assuming the Debtor's lease for the
property.

The Debtor says the Court has approved the sale of substantially
all of its assets to AVX Learning.

                        About Adayana, Inc.

Adayana, Inc., is a holding company, incorporated under the laws
of the state of Minnesota.  Its primary assets are its equity
ownership interests in two separate operating companies, ABG, an
Adayana Company, and Vertex Solutions, Inc., one of which is
headquartered in Indianapolis, and the other in Virginia.  Both
operating companies are in the "human capital" business, providing
an array of technology-based consulting and training services.

Adayana valued the subsidiaries' stock at $8 million to
$12 million as of March 31, 2013.  It also owns personal
property with book value of $949,280.

Adayana, along with its two subsidiaries, sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Ind. Case No.
13-10919) on Oct. 14, 2013.

The Debtors are represented by Michael P. O'Neil, Esq., at Taft
Stettinius & Hollister LLP, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Nancy J. Gargula, the United States Trustee for Region 10, said
that an official committee under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1102 has not been
appointed in the bankruptcy case of Adayana, Inc.


ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES: Vanguard Group Stake at 5.2% as of Dec. 31
------------------------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13G filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, The Vanguard Group disclosed that as of
Dec. 31, 2013, it beneficially owned 38,026,762 shares of common
stock of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. representing 5.25% of the
shares outstanding.  A copy of the regulatory filing is available
for free at http://is.gd/HMDpX5

                   About Advanced Micro Devices

Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., is a
global semiconductor company. The Company's products include x86
microprocessors and graphics.

For the nine months ended Sept. 28, 2013, Advanced Micro incurred
a net loss of $172 million.  Advanced Micro reported a net loss of
$1.18 billion for the year ended Dec. 29, 2012, following net
income of $491 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011.  As of
Sept. 28, 2013, the Company had $4.31 billion in total assets,
$3.88 billion in total liabilities and $434 millioon in total
stockholders' equity.

                          *     *     *

In August 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
outlook on Advanced Micro to negative from stable.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit and senior unsecured
debt ratings on AMD.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 4, 2014, Fitch Ratings has affirmed
the 'CCC' long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for Advanced Micro
Devices Inc.  The rating reflects Fitch's expectations for
negative near-term free cash flow (FCF) and limited top-line
visibility, despite solid product momentum heading into 2014.

In the Feb. 4, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Advanced Micro Devices' corporate family rating to B2 from
B1.  The downgrade of the corporate family rating to B2 reflects
AMD's prospects for weaker operating performance and liquidity
profile over the next year as the company commences on a multi-
quarter strategic reorientation of its business in the face of a
challenging macro environment and a weak PC market.


AFFYMAX INC: Vanguard Stake Down to Only 0.13% as of Dec. 31
------------------------------------------------------------
The Vanguard Group disclosed in an amended Schedule 13G filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that as of Dec. 31,
2013, it beneficially owned 50,201 shares of common stock of
Affymax Inc. representing 0.13 percent of the shares outstanding.
A copy of the regulatory filing is available for free at:

                        http://is.gd/ILKlO2

                           About Affymax

Affymax, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFFY) is a biopharmaceutical company based
in Palo Alto, California.  In March 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approved the Company's first and only product,
OMONTYS(R) (peginesatide) Injection for the treatment of anemia
due to chronic kidney disease in adult patients on dialysis.
OMONTYS is a synthetic, peptide-based erythropoiesis stimulating
agent, or ESA, designed to stimulate production of red blood cells
and has been the only once-monthly ESA available to the adult
dialysis patient population in the U.S.  The Company co-
commercialized OMONTYS with its collaboration partner, Takeda
Pharmaceutical Company Limited, or Takeda during 2012 until
February 2013, when the Company and Takeda announced a nationwide
voluntary recall of OMONTYS as a result of safety concerns.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $15.54
million in total assets, $16.41 million in total liabilities and a
$869,000 total stockholders' deficit.

                  Going Concern/Bankruptcy Warning

"We have experienced significant operating losses since inception.
We expect to continue to incur operating losses.  Our only source
of potential proceeds are milestone payments from Takeda related
to a reintroduction of OMONTYS which is highly uncertain.  We may
never generate additional revenues and, even if we do generate
revenue in the future, we may never achieve or sustain
profitability.

"If Takeda is unable to identify quickly the causes of the OMONTYS
safety concerns or raise additional funds when required or on
acceptable terms, we may have to:

   * discontinue operations;

   * relinquish some or all of our existing rights to OMONTYS
     milestones, royalties or other existing rights; or

   * pursue alternatives such as sale of the Company or its
     assets, a corporate merger, wind-down of operations or even
     bankruptcy proceedings," the Company said in its quarterly
     report for the period ended Sept. 30, 2013.

"Because we have not made an irrevocable decision to liquidate,
the accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared
under the assumption of a going concern basis that contemplates
the realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course
of business.  Operating losses have been incurred each year since
inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $556.7 million
as of September 30, 2013.  Nearly all of our revenues to date have
come from our collaboration with Takeda.  As a result of the
February 23, 2013 nationwide voluntary recall of OMONTYS and the
suspension of all marketing activities, there is significant
uncertainty as to whether we will have sufficient existing cash to
fund our operations for the next 12 months.  Our liabilities
exceed our assets.  Given our limited resources, there is no
assurance that we will be able to reduce our operating expenses
enough to meet our existing and future obligations and conduct
ongoing operations.  If we do not have sufficient funds to
continue operations, we could be required to liquidate our assets,
seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives.  Any failure to
dispel any continuing doubts about our ability to continue as a
going concern could adversely affect our ability to enter into
collaborative relationships with business partners.  These matters
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern," the Company added.


ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES: Board OKs $1.7-Mil. Bonuses for Executives

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc., approved on Feb. 5, 2014, the annual cash
performance bonuses under the Company's Executive Incentive Plan
for the Company's named executive officers:

                                          Annual Cash
                                          Performance

On Feb. 6, 2014, the Board approved $705,000 annual cash
performance bonus under the Plan for the Company's chief executive
officer.

Pursuant to the Plan, the annual cash performance bonuses were
based on the Company's performance during the 2013 fiscal year as
evaluated against the following pre-established Company-wide
financial measures: revenue, adjusted non-GAAP free cash flow and
adjusted non-GAAP net income.  The funding and payment of any
annual cash performance bonuses under the Plan for fiscal 2013 was
contingent upon the Company having a cash balance of at least $700
million on the last day of each quarter of fiscal 2013.  The
Company exceeded this cash balance on the last day of each quarter
of fiscal 2013.  These bonus awards will be paid in March 2014.

The Company intends to provide additional information regarding
the 2013 annual cash performance bonuses in the Company's proxy
statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the
Company, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in March 2014.

Sept. 28, 2013, the Company had $4.31 billion in total assets,
$3.88 billion in total liabilities and $434 millioon in total
stockholders' equity.

                          *     *     *

In August 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
outlook on Advanced Micro to negative from stable.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit and senior unsecured
debt ratings on AMD.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 4, 2014, Fitch Ratings has affirmed
the 'CCC' long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for Advanced Micro
Devices Inc.  The rating reflects Fitch's expectations for
negative near-term free cash flow (FCF) and limited top-line
visibility, despite solid product momentum heading into 2014.

In the Feb. 4, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Advanced Micro Devices' corporate family rating to B2 from
B1.  The downgrade of the corporate family rating to B2 reflects
AMD's prospects for weaker operating performance and liquidity
profile over the next year as the company commences on a multi-
quarter strategic reorientation of its business in the face of a
challenging macro environment and a weak PC market.

products for use by the U.S. and foreign governments.  Allied's
business was conducted by two wholly owned subsidiaries: MECAR

for $59,560 in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities.  On
Sept. 1, 2010, the Company completed the asset sale to Chemring
contemplated by the Agreement.  Pursuant to the Agreement,
Chemring acquired all of the capital stock of Mecar for
approximately $45,810 in cash, and separately Chemring acquired
substantially all of the assets of Mecar USA for $13,750 in cash
and the assumption by Chemring of certain specified liabilities of
Mecar USA.  A portion of the purchase price was paid through the
repayment of certain intercompany indebtedness owed to the Company
that would otherwise have been cancelled at closing.  $15,000 of
the proceeds of the sale was deposited into escrow to secure the
Company's indemnification obligations under the Agreement.

In conjunction with the Agreement, the Board of Directors of the
Company unanimously approved the dissolution of the Company
pursuant to a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution.  The

Secretary of State on Aug. 31, 2011.  In connection with this

Exchange Commission, The Vanguard Group disclosed that as of
Dec. 31, 2013, it beneficially owned 3,710,370 shares of common
stock of American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. representing

                        About American Axle

Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, American Axle & Manufacturing
Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AXL) -- http://www.aam.com/-- manufactures,
engineers, designs and validates driveline and drivetrain systems
and related components and chassis modules for light trucks, sport
utility vehicles, passenger cars, crossover vehicles and
commercial vehicles.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed
$3.11 billion in total assets, $3.16 billion in total liabilities
and a $46.8 million total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

In September 2012, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the 'B1'
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating
(PDR) of American Axle.

American Axle carries a 'BB-' corporate credit rating from
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.  "The 'BB-' corporate credit
rating on American Axle reflects the company's 'weak' business
risk profile and 'aggressive' financial risk profile, which
incorporate substantial exposure to the highly cyclical light-
vehicle market," S&P said, as reported by the TCR on Sept. 6,
2012.

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 5, 2013, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed the 'B+' Issuer Default Ratings of American Axle &
Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (AXL) and its American Axle &
Manufacturing, Inc. (AAM) subsidiary.  The ratings and Positive
Outlook for AXL and AAM are supported by Fitch's expectation that
the drivetrain and driveline supplier's credit profile will
strengthen over the intermediate term, despite some deterioration
over the past year.


AMERICAN PATRIOT: Wants to Take Over Red Arrow Mining Operation
---------------------------------------------------------------
American Patriot Gold LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas to appoint the Debtor as sole and
exclusive operator of the Red Arrow Mine and Red Arrow Mine
assets.

The Debtor tells the Court that it owns a 49% interest in the
Red Arrow while Red Arrow Gold Company Inc. is the owner of 51%
of the Red Arrow Mine.  Red Arrow and Craig Liukko have been the
operators of the Red Arrow Mine since January of 2012.  Red Arrow
and Craig Liukko have completely failed at their job, according to
the Debtor.

The Debtor says the permits to operate the Red Arrow Mine were
scheduled for a forfeiture hearing by the State of Colorado on
Jan. 15 and 16, 2014.  If the permits are forfeited, then a new
operator must apply for new permits and significant complications
can arise in obtaining new permits, the Debtor points out.

The Debtor says it desires to retain the operating permits and
to operate the Red Arrow Mine.  The Debtor notes it intends to
demonstrate that the Court should appoint itself as the sole and
exclusive operator of the Red Arrow Mine as the replacement for
Red Arrow and Craig Liukko.

Red Arrow objected to the Debtor's request, saying the Debtor is
circumventing the procedural and substantive due process
safeguards all creditors and parties in interest should be
afforded in a Chapter 11 case.

According to Red Arrow, there are no mining operations at the
present time; nor are there any public health issues.  The issues
raised by the State of Colorado were directly attributable to the
operational negligence of Marci Jaeger, the State Court Appointed
Receiver, when she took over operations last summer.  Any
environmental issues have been temporarily remediated by the
State of Colorado.

Red Arrow tells the Court that the Debtor has not proposed a
confirmable plan or even suggested a viable business plan.  No
operating reports have been filed.  No disclosure has been made as
to how to fund operations, the relationship of parties or how it
proposes to pay creditors.  There is an on-going dispute with Red
Arrow as to the extent of ownership of the Debtor's property and
mineral rights, says Red Arrow.

James B. Jameson, Esq., at James B. Jameson & Associates PC,
represents Red Arrow.

American Patriot Gold, LLC, filed a bankruptcy petition (Bankr.
S.D. Tex. Case No. 13-35334) on Aug. 30, 2013.  The petition was
signed by Rocky V. Emery as manager.  Reese W. Baker, Esq., at
Baker & Associates, LLP, serves as the Debtor's counsel.  The U.S.
Trustee appointed three members to the official committee of
unsecured creditors in the Debtor's Chapter 11 case.  The Debtor
reported $49,950,000 in assets and $11,642,786 in liabilities.


AMERICAN PATRIOT: Court OKs Andrew Gaudielle as Mining Consultant
-----------------------------------------------------------------
American Patriot Gold LLC sought and obtained permission from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to employ
Andrew J. Gaudielle as mining consultant.

The professional services to be rendered on behalf of the Debtor
by Mr. Gaudielle in this case include mining and milling
consulting services, evaluation, design, optimization review and
project management of the Red Arrow Mine, including, without
limitation:

   (a) sampling the mine in order to generate systematically
       acquired material in evaluating the presence and grade of
       gold and other metals, both to develop a preliminary
       interpretative geological model of the mine and to generate
       material for bench scale metallurgical testing;

   (b) assaying the above mentioned material for metal content;

   (c) assaying samples of material from various steps in the
       current mill's processing flow sheet to determine, head
       grade, concentrate grades, and reject grades in order to
       evaluate the efficacy of the current processing practices;

   (d) analyze tailings material for potentially deleterious
       constituents (water rock characterization);

   (e) develop a reasonably detailed interpretive geological model
       of the mine by qualified geologists based on sampling,
       mapping and record examination in order to provide
       direction for further resource exploration, if warranted;

   (f) if warranted, perform preliminary metallurgical testing of
       in situ material from the mine gathered in conjunction with
       the geological samples; and

   (g) perform an operational assessment of the current status of
       the mine, mill, infrastructure, equipment, manpower,
       management controls, regulatory compliance and overall
       effectiveness of the operation in order to develop plans
       for process improvements;

For consulting services rendered in the above-captioned case,
Debtor has agreed to compensate Mr. Gaudielle a daily fee of
$1,000 and will be reimbursed for all reasonable customary
expenses incurred while carrying out activities associated with
the work performed for the Debtor.  The Debtor seeks authorization
to pay Gaudielle a fee of $1,000 per day without further Court
approval and to pay up to $20,000 per month without further court
approval.

In addition, the Debtor agreed to pay Mr. Gaudielle a pre-
payment/mobilization fee of $20,000, approximately one month's
consulting fees and reimbursable expenses, immediately upon the
granting of this application.

Mr. Gaudielle will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred.

Mr. Gaudielle assured the Court that the firm is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code and does not represent any interest adverse to the
Debtors and their estates.

ANDALAY SOLAR: Posts Five-Fold Sequential Revenue Growth in Q2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Andalay Solar, Inc., reported net revenue for the fourth quarter
of 2013 of $757,000, an increase of $600,000 or 382 percent
compared to the third quarter of 2013.

"Whereas for the third quarter of 2013 revenue was posted at
$157,000, revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $757,000,
nearly a five-fold sequential increase.  Further, after completing
our supplier diversification and cutting costs, including our
recent move to a lower cost location in January 2014, the
Company's expected breakeven on sales is far lower than at any
time in its history," commented Margaret Randazzo, CEO of Andalay
Solar, Inc.

Mark Kalow, chairman of Andalay Solar's Board of Directors, also
commented, "This news, coupled with a commitment from our long-
time investors, we believe puts us in a desirable position going
into 2014.  Our focus is now on increasing the top line growth of
the Company as we target achieving cash flow break-even and
profitability over the next several quarters.  We are also pleased
with our agreement with ASC Recap to pursue the purchase of prior
debt owed to four large creditors - of which one has already been
purchased and settled - in exchange for the issuance of certain
shares of the Company's common stock."  Details of the agreement
with ASC Recap LLC, which is subject to court approval, are
available for free at http://is.gd/S5Rsfp

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, the Company reported net revenue
of $1.1 million, compared to $5.2 million in 2012.  The decline in
full year was due to limited inventory levels during the first
nine months of 2013 due to supplier relationship issues.  The
Company began receiving product from a new supplier beginning in
September 2013 resulting in significant revenue growth during the
fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the prior quarters of 2013.

The Company plans to announce its full financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2013, in early March 2014.

AUTOMATED BUSINESS: PNC Opposes Halevy's Bid to Vacate Release
--------------------------------------------------------------
PNC Bank N.A. asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Wendelin Lipp to deny
the motion filed by an unsecured creditor of Automated Business
Power Inc. to reconsider the judge's earlier decision authorizing
the company's use of cash collateral.

The court order contained a release of PNC Bank, which serves as
administrative agent under a $58 million loan agreement.  Eyal
Halevy, who asserts unsecured claims against ABP, wants the
release vacated based on a technical failure to comply with
Bankruptcy Rule 4001(d).

In response, counsel to PNC Bank, Lisa Bittle Tancredi, Esq., at
Gebhardt & Smith LLP, in Baltimore, Maryland, says Mr. Halevy
"lacks standing" to file the motion.
According to Ms. Tancredi, the claims asserted by Mr. Halevy are
subordinated to the loan provided by PNC and other banks pursuant
to a 2008 agreement in which he also waived his right to enforce
his claims.

"Until the loan is paid in full, Halevy may not enforce any of his
rights or remedies in connection with the claims," Ms. Tancredi
said in a Feb. 4 filing.

Ms. Tancredi further said the release was a condition of PNC
Bank's withdrawal of its objection to ABP's use of cash
collateral.  "If the release is stricken, the administrative agent
and the lenders will be severely prejudiced," she said.

outlook, from Standard & Poor's.

In the Jan. 30, 2013 edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
raised Beazer Homes USA, Inc.'s corporate family rating to 'Caa1'
from 'Caa2' and probability of default rating to 'Caa1-PD' from
'Caa2-PD'.  The ratings upgrade reflects Moody's increasing
confidence that Beazer's credit metrics, buoyed by a stregthening
housing market, will gradually improve for at least the next two
years and that the company may be able to return to a modestly
profitable position as early as fiscal 2014.

upgraded the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of Beazer Homes USA, Inc.
(NYSE: BZH) to 'B-' from 'CCC'.  The upgrade and the stable
outlook reflect Beazer's operating performance so far this year,
its robust cash position, and moderately better prospects for the
housing sector during the remainder of this year and in 2013.  The
rating is also supported by the company's execution of its
business model, land policies, and geographic diversity.

     total satisfaction of any and all claims or obligations that
     the unions or any of the union employees have against the
     Debtor, and any and all proofs of claim that have been or
     will be filed by union employees, that the Unions possess the
     authority or right under any contract, law, or agreement to
     assert either on behalf of the unions or on behalf of
     any individual employee whose terms and conditions of
     employment were governed by a collective bargaining agreement
     between the Debtor and the unions.  The unions and all of the
     union employees hereby unconditionally release, acquit, and
     forever discharge the Debtor from any and all manner of
     claims known or unknown, actions, causes of action, suits,
     damages, and demands whatsoever, at law or in equity, of any
     kind or nature whatsoever, to the extent the Unions possess
     the authority or right under any contract, law, or agreement
     to assert the claims, action, suits, damages, or demands
     against the Debtor.  The agreement does not release claims
     that an individual employee has the right or authority to
     assert directly against the Debtor that are not governed by
     a collective bargaining agreement.

  d) The Settlement Claim shall not be paid until such time as a
     further order of this Court directs its payment.

The Debtor says RWDSU submitted proof of claim 348 regarding
the PTO Obligation, asserting that the amount owed was $229,222
and that it was entitled to priority under the Bankruptcy Code.
UFCW also submitted proof of claim 349 regarding the PTO
Obligation, asserting that the amount owed was $21,493, and
asserting that it was entitled to priority under Bankruptcy
Code.

The Debtor adds RWDSU also submitted proof of claim 414 regarding
the full time obligation, asserting that the amount owed was
$868,832, of which $402,053 accrued pre-petition and $466,778
accrued post-petition.  RWDSU claimed that the pre-petition
amounts were priority wage claims and that the post-petition
amounts were administrative expense claims under Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtor tells the Court that the obligations have not been
paid.

Bergenfield Senior Housing, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No. 13-19703) in Newark, New Jersey,
on May 2, 2013.  Nicholas Rotonda signed the petition as
member/manager.  Judge Morris Stern presides over the case.
Aaron Solomon Applebaum, Esq., and Barry D. Kleban, Esq., at
McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP, represent the Debtor
as counsel.

BLUEJAY PROPERTIES: Parties Balk at Sale of Real Estate
-------------------------------------------------------
University National Bank objected to Bluejay Properties LLC's
motion for authorization to sell real estate.  UNB stated the
Court must not be distracted by the conundrum raised by the
Debtor.  It should act upon its earlier observation(s) of how the
case has stagnated and act upon the request of Bankers' Bank of
Kansas and appoint a trustee.  UNB said it filed an objection as a
precautionary matter due to notice being given of a hearing
scheduled for Feb. 13, 2014, at 1:30 p.m. on the motion.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 15, 2014,
BBOK filed a motion for relief from automatic stay so that it may
pursue foreclosure in state court, wherein the state court will
determine priorities prior to a sale of Bluejay Properties'
apartment complex in Junction City.  In the alternative, BBOK
seeks for the dismissal of the Debtor's bankruptcy case or for the
appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee.

BBOK also filed an objection to the sale motion.  Scott M. Hill,
Esq., at Hite Fanning & Honeyman L.L.P., on behalf of BBOK, said
the bank reserves the right to submit additional briefing related
to its motion filed earlier.

In seeking to sell assets, the Debtor said its broker has
negotiated an arm's-length transaction for the sale of real estate
with Arsenault Holdings, LLC.  The consideration to be paid for
the property is $10,250,000.  The sale will also include an
assumption by the purchaser of all rights and obligations under
the unexpired leases with the Debtor's tenants.

Meanwhile, Patricia E. Hamilton, Esq., at Stevens & Brand LLP, in
its response to the Debtor's sale motion, requested that the Court
enter an order that KVB's constructive trust claim for the unpaid
balance be paid at the closing from the proceeds of the sale and
that the balance of the sale proceeds be held pending resolution
of remaining claims and causes of action pending in an adversary
proceeding.

Prior to the filing date, the Debtor was involved in litigation in
the District Court of Douglas County, State of Kansas, in a case
captioned University National Bank v. JMD, LLC, et al., (BJP
Litigation).

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on May 15, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating to B3
from Caa1 and its Probability of Default Rating to B3-PD from
Caa1-PD.

"The upgrade of Bon-Ton's Corporate Family Rating considers the
company's ability to drive modest same store sales growth as well
as operating margin expansion beginning in the second half of 2012
and that these positive trends have continued, with the company
reporting that its same store were positive, and EBITDA margins
expanded, in the first fiscal quarter of 2013," said Moody's Vice
President Scott Tuhy.

As reported by the TCR on May 17, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services affirmed the 'B-' corporate credit rating on The Bon-Ton
Stores Inc.


CABLEVISION SYSTEMS: S&P Lowers Corporate Credit Rating to 'BB-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its ratings on
Bethpage, N.Y.-based Cablevision Systems Corp. and related
entities, including the corporate credit rating to 'BB-' from
'BB', and removed all ratings from CreditWatch, where S&P had
placed them with negative implications on Nov. 14, 2013.  The
rating outlook is stable.

"The downgrade incorporates our revised view of Cablevision's
business risk profile to 'satisfactory' from the prior 'strong'
along with its 'highly leveraged' financial risk profile," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Richard Siderman.  "Our revision
of business risk recognizes the likelihood of a continuing loss of
video subscribers from these mature cable properties along with
continuing competitive pressure from the availability of Verizon's
rival FiOS service in much of Cablevision's service territory," he
added.

S&P expects cable system maturity, the twin secular industry
trends of video subscriber losses and higher programming costs,
along with competition to result in the cable segment EBITDA
margin remaining in the low 30% area, somewhat below that of
peers, which typically range from the mid-30% area up to 40%.
This expectation results in our view that debt to EBITDA will be
in the low-to-mid 5x area, including S&P's adjustments, for the
next two years.

The stable rating outlook recognizes that despite competitive
pressure, revenue from Cablevision's well-bundled cable customers
should be no more than only modestly lower in 2014 with video
customer losses partly offset by selective rate increases.  Based
on S&P's expectation of a consolidated EBITDA margin in the high
20% area, it expects debt leverage to be in the low-to-mid-5x area
in 2014, consistent with a highly leveraged financial risk
profile.

S&P could lower the rating if Cablevision encounters a greater-
than-anticipated level of competition from FiOS, in particular
aggressive, and sustained, triple-play pricing that leads to
erosion of all revenue generating unit (RGU) categories and
average revenue per video customer substantially below the $165.00
level.  That scenario could weaken the consolidated EBITDA margin
to the mid-20% area, or lower, and lead to debt leverage over 6x.

Consideration of a higher rating would be based on an improvement
in the cable segment EBITDA margin toward the mid-30% area that
would enable debt leverage to improve to the mid-4x area on a
sustained basis.  That would most likely stem from some material,
although likely selective, rate increases in combination with a
lower-than-anticipated loss of basic video subscribers, within the
context of the significant FiOS competition.


CALPINE CORP: Fourth Quarter Loss Wider Than Expected
-----------------------------------------------------
Micahel Calia, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
Calpine Corp. posted a wider-than-expected fourth-quarter loss as
revenue missed Wall Street expectations, though the company swung
to a profit on an adjusted basis.

Still, Calpine boosted its 2014 guidance for earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by $100 million to
a range of $1.9 billion to $2 billion, according to the report.

The improved guidance includes the pending acquisition of a power
facility in Texas, which is expected to be completed during the
first quarter, the report said.  Chief Executive Jack Fusco also
attributed the improved outlook to "a good start to the year" and
share repurchases.

Calpine, which sells power to utilities and other entities on the
wholesale market rather than at regulated rates, has been slashing
costs and noncore assets while expanding in other markets, the
report related.  Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter
fell slightly to $1.29 billion, while fuel and purchased energy
expense declined 2.5% to $856 million.

Overall, Calpine posted a loss of $97 million, or 23 cents a
share, compared with a profit of $100 million, or 22 cents, in the
year-ago period, the report further related.  On an adjusted basis
-- which excludes the impacts of asset sales, debt extinguishment
and other items -- Calpine swung to a profit of $5 million from a
loss of $86 million a year ago.

                          About Calpine

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, Calpine Corp. is a major U.S.
independent power company that owns 93 operating power plants with
an aggregate generation capacity of nearly 29,000.  For the 12
months ending June 30, 2010, Calpine had operating revenues of
$6.4 billion.

The Company and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 05-60200) on Dec. 20, 2005.
Richard M. Cieri, Esq., Matthew A. Cantor, Esq., Edward Sassower,
Esq., and Robert G. Burns, Esq., Kirkland & Ellis LLP, represented
the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.  Michael S. Stamer,
Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, represented the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  As of Aug. 31, 2007,
the Debtors had total assets of $18.467 billion, total liabilities
not subject to compromise of $11.207 billion, total liabilities
subject to compromise of $15.354 billion and stockholders' deficit
of $8.102 billion.

On Feb. 3, 2006, two more affiliates, Geysers Power Company, LLC,
and Silverado Geothermal Resources, Inc., filed voluntary Chapter
11 petitions (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos. 06-10197 and 06-10198).
On September 20, 2007, Santa Rosa Energy Center, LLC, another
affiliate, also filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 07-12967).

On June 20, 2007, the Debtors filed their Chapter 11 Plan and
Disclosure Statement.  On Aug. 27, 2007, the Debtors filed their
Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement.  Calpine filed a Second
Amended Plan on Sept. 19, 2007 and on Sept. 24, 2007, filed a
Third Amended Plan.  On Sept. 25, 2007, the Court approved the
adequacy of the Debtors' Disclosure Statement and entered a
written order on Sept. 26.  On Dec. 19, 2007, the Court confirmed
the Debtors' Plan.  The Amended Plan was deemed effective as of
Jan. 31, 2008.

                            *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on Nov. 7, 2013, that
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+/RR1' rating to Calpine's $490
million 5.875% senior secured notes due 2024. The Rating Outlook
is Stable. The 'RR1' rating reflects a three-notch positive
differential from the 'B+' Issuer Default Rating and indicates
that Fitch estimates outstanding recovery of 91%-100%.  Moody's
Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to Calpine's $490 senior
secured notes and affirmed the Company's B1 Corporate Family
Rating and B1-PD Probability of Default Rating.  Proceeds from the
debt will be used to pay down approximately $470 million of
existing senior secured debt.


CAREFREE WILLOWS: AG/ICC Asks Court to Consider New Valuation
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the Chapter 11 case of Carefree Willows LLC, Ali M. M. Mojdehi,
Esq., at Cooley LLP, on behalf of senior secured creditor AG/ICC
Willows Loan Owner, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nevada Carefree to reopen the record on plan
confirmation and related matters, in light of evidence of a
significant change in value of Willows LLC's property since the
time of the confirmation hearings.

AG/ICC requested for a March 5 hearing on its request.

AG/ICC, also a holder of a first mortgage and lien on the Debtor's
real property, stated that the appraisal being presented for the
Court's information demonstrates that the Debtor's real property
is currently worth at least $39 million.  As such, the Debtor's
property has increased in value by at least $9 million since its
bankruptcy filing over three years ago, or taken another way,
almost $3 million in the over a year that has passed since the
confirmation hearings in the case.  AG/ICC requests that the Court
take under consideration the new valuation evidence in connection
with its deliberations on the plan confirmation proceedings
currently under submission.

                    About Carefree Willows LLC

Carefree Willows LLC is the owner of a 300-unit senior housing
complex, located 3250 S. Town Center Drive, in Las Vegas,
Nevada.  Carefree Willows filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.
Nev. Case No. 10-29932) on Oct. 22, 2010.  The Law Offices of Alan
R. Smith, in Reno, Nevada, serves as counsel to the Debtor.  The
Debtor disclosed $30,604,014 in assets and $36,531,244 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.


CASH STORE: S&P Cuts Issuer Credit Rating to CCC; Outlook Negative
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its issuer
credit rating on Edmonton, Alta.-based The Cash Store Financial
Services Inc. (CSF) to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'.  The outlook is
negative.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's lowered its rating
on CSF's senior secured notes to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'.  The '4'
recovery rating on the senior secured notes, which indicates S&P's
expectation for average (30%-50%) recovery of principal if a
default occurs, is unchanged.

The downgrade follows the Ontario Superior Court of Justice's
order that CSF is prohibited from acting as a loan broker for its
basic line of credit product without a brokers license under the
Payday Loans Act, 2008.  On Feb. 13, the Registrar of the Ministry
of Consumer Services in Ontario issued a proposal to refuse to
issue the license.  CSF announced that it has stopped offering the
line of credit product in its Ontario branches.

"Although CSF intends to request a hearing before the License
Appeal Tribunal, we believe that this may be a lengthy process and
the outcome is highly uncertain," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Michael Leizerovich.  "In our view, it is unlikely that
CSF will be able to fully replace its lost cash flows from the
discontinued line of credit product.  CSF currently operates
approximately one-third of its total stores in Ontario, and its
line of credit product represents a significant portion of its
earnings in the province."

The negative outlook reflects S&P's view that CSF's inability to
offer a line of credit product in Ontario will lead to lower cash
flow, which will likely result in liquidity constraints.  S&P
could lower the rating if CSF's liquidity position deteriorates to
the point where it would expect that the company would not meet
its interest payment obligation on its senior secured notes.  S&P
could revise the outlook to stable or raise the rating if the
company generates positive cash flow and earnings for two or more
consecutive quarters, and if its liquidity position stabilizes.


CENGAGE LEARNING: March 13 Hearing to Confirm Plan
--------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York on
Feb. 12, 2014, entered an order authorizing Cengage Learning Inc.
and its affiliated debtors to solicit acceptances for the Debtors'
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, as modified; approving the
Supplemental Disclosure Statement Related to the Debtors' Joint
Plan of Reorganization as containing "adequate information"

solicitation materials and documents to be included in the

hearing may be continued from time to time without further notice.

Consenting First Lien Agent; (iii) Consenting First Lien
Noteholders; (iv) Committee; (v) Consenting Second Lien Note
Holders; (vi) Consenting Second Lien Trustee; (vii) Consenting
Centerbridge Lenders; (viii) Consenting Apax Parties; (ix)

Fairlawn, Ohio-based Central Federal Corporation (Nasdaq: CFBK) is
the holding company for CFBank, a federally chartered savings
association formed in Ohio in 1892.  CFBank has four full-service
banking offices in Fairlawn, Calcutta, Wellsville and Worthington,
Ohio.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 4, 2014, The Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency has terminated the Cease and Desist
Order against CFBank, a subsidiary of Central Federal Corporation,
effective Jan. 23, 2014.  The CFBank Order has been in place since
May 25, 2011, which was prior to the 2012 capital raise and
recapitalization of Central Federal Corporation and CF Bank by the
current management team and standby investor group led by Timothy
O'Dell (CEO), Thad Perry (President) and Robert Hoeweler
(Chairman).

The Company incurred a net loss of $3.76 million in 2012, a net
loss of $5.42 million in 2011, a net loss of $6.87 million in
2010, and a net loss of $9.89 million in 2009.  The Company's

CEREPLAST INC: Bioplastics Maker Seeks Chapter 11 Protection
------------------------------------------------------------
Seymour, Indiana-based Cereplast, Inc., filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection (Bankr. S.D. Ind. Case No. 14-90200) on
Feb. 10, 2014, estimating $10 million to $50 million in both
assets and debts.

Judge Basil H. Lorch III oversees the case.  Cereplast is
represented by Tamara Marie Leetham, Esq., at Austin Legal Group,
as counsel.

Cereplast has developed and is commercializing proprietary bio-
based resins through two complementary product families: Cereplast
Compostables(R) resins which are compostable, renewable,
ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastics, and
Cereplast Sustainables(TM) resins (including the Cereplast Hybrid
Resins product line), which replaces up to 90 percent of the
petroleum-based content of traditional plastics with materials
from renewable resources.

The petition was signed by Frederic Scheer, chief executive
officer.  The Debtor did not file a list of its largest unsecured
creditors when it filed the petition.

According to Don Loepp, writing for PlasticsNews.com, the Company
said it sought bankruptcy protection "to strengthen its balance
sheet, clean up its capitalization structure and gain financial
flexibility as it continues to realign its operations."

In a Feb. 17 news release, Cereplast said it expects to redirect
its operations in two directions: toward traditional compounded
products and recycling polyolefins, and bioplastics made of
diversified feedstock including algae and polylactic acid.

CEO Frederic Scheer said: "We have taken a number of steps to
improve our operations over the past few months and we were making
great progress; however, the lack of traction of bioplastics
demand in the United States, the repetitive delays in
implementation of the bioplastic regulation in Europe and
especially in Italy combined with the legal problems created by
several of our lenders made clear to our board that reorganization
was the proper path forward. We believe that this reorganization
will enable us to reduce our debt and implement operational
changes, while maintaining our commitment to the environment."

The company is "actively negotiating a debtor-in-possession
financing from several interested parties," according to the
release.

PlasticsNews reported that Horizon Technology Finance Corp. on
Feb. 14 filed pleadings seeking conversion of the case to a
liqudation in Chapter 7.  Horizon said Cereplast is in default on
loan agreements.  Horizon had planned to auction Cereplast's
assets on Feb. 11, and had informed Cereplast of that plan on
Jan. 23.

The report recounted that Cereplast attempted to stop the auction
through a restraining order filed on Feb. 10, which was rejected,
according to Horizon's motion.  Cereplast then filed for Chapter
11 protection.

According to the report, Horizon said its plan to sell Cereplast
had generated interested bidders, including at least one that has
expressed an interest in continuing to operate the Seymour plant.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Cereplast on Feb. 6
commenced an action against Ironridge Technology CO, a division of
Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., Horizon Technology Finance Corporation,
Magna Group, LLC and Hanover Holdings I, LLC, in the Superior
Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles,
alleging breach of contract against all defendants and requesting
that the court issue a temporary restraining order and a
preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining all Cross-
defendants from taking any action unless and until a court of
competent jurisdiction adjudicates any of their respective
entitlement, if any.

Cereplast was based in El Segundo, California, until last year,
when it moved to Seymour.

Cereplast's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $14.30 million
in total assets, $36.72 million in total liabilities and a $22.42
million total shareholders' deficit.

The Company warned in a quartery report for the period ended Sept.
30, 2013, that "If we cannot obtain sufficient additional
financing in the short-term, we may be forced to curtail or cease
operations or file for bankruptcy."

"We have incurred a net loss of $34.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2013, and $30.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2012, and have an accumulated deficit of $121.1
million as of September 30, 2013.  Based on our operating plan,
our existing working capital will not be sufficient to meet the
cash requirements to fund our planned operating expenses, capital
expenditures and working capital requirements through December 31,
2013 without additional sources of cash.  This raises substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

"Our plan to address the shortfall of working capital is to
generate additional cash through a combination of refinancing
existing credit facilities, incremental product sales and raising
additional capital through debt and equity financings.  We are
confident that we will be able to deliver on our plans, however,
there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain any sources
of financing on acceptable terms, or at all.

HJ Associates & Consultants, LLP, in Salt Lake City, Utah, issued
a "going concern" qualification on the company's consolidated
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has suffered
significant recurring losses, has a significant accumulated
deficit, and has insufficient working capital to fund planned
operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


CHA CHA ENTERPRISES: Seeks Approval to Obtain $42MM DIP Loan
------------------------------------------------------------
Cha Cha Enterprises LLC seeks approval from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Arthur Weissbrodt to borrow up to $42 million in debtor-in-
possession financing.

The $42 million loan will be provided by Victory Park Capital
Advisors, LLC and several other lenders.  Up to $32.75 million of
that will go to Mi Pueblo San Jose, Inc., while $9.3 million will
go to Cha Cha Enterprises.

The companies will use the loan to pay off their debt to Wells
Fargo Bank N.A. in exchange for the release of its liens that
would allow Cha Cha Enterprises to grant first priority liens to
the lenders to secure their loan.  The loan will also be used to
provide working capital to both companies for the next few months.

Cha Cha Enterprises will pledge all its assets to secure its $9.3
million loan with "first priority perfected liens" and grant the
lenders "super priority administrative claims."  Meanwhile, the
company will guarantee the repayment of Mi Pueblo's $32.75
million, according to a Feb. 13 filing.

In the same filing, Cha Cha Enterprises also asked for court
approval to use the lenders' cash collateral pursuant to budgets
to be provided to the lenders.  A copy of the DIP loan term sheet
is available for free at http://is.gd/C9K51N

Judge Weissbrodt will hold a hearing on Feb. 19 to consider
approval of the proposed financing.

COLFAX CORPORATION: Moody's Affirms Ba3 CFR Over Victor Tech Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the ratings of Colfax
Corporation, including the Corporate Family Rating at Ba3,
following Colfax's announcement that it has agreed to acquire
Victor Technologies, Inc. in a transaction valued at approximately
$950 million. The company expects to fund the transaction with
proceeds from a recent equity offering as well as cash on hand and
proceeds from incremental debt issued under its existing credit
facility. The rating outlook is stable. Colfax's Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating was lowered to SGL-3 from SGL-2 because of
expected increased revolver usage as a result of the funding of
the acquisition. Victor's ratings were placed under review for
upgrade in relation to the potential benefits of being part of the
larger group, but Victor's ratings could be withdrawn if its debt
is repaid or refinanced at transaction close.

  Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Stable

Ratings Rationale

Colfax's Ba3 corporate family rating considers the company's large
scale with over $4.2 billion in revenues in 2013, good geographic
diversification and mix of both aftermarket and original market
revenue. The proposed acquisition of Victor will expand the
company's footprint in its markets and bring incremental earnings
and cash flow, particularly if industrial activity in North
America supports further demand for Victor's welding and other
products. With a portion of the acquisition being funded with
equity, financial metrics, while weakened, are anticipated to
remain at levels that continue to support the Ba3 CFR rating. Pro
forma for the Victor acquisition, 2013 Moody's-adjusted leverage
would have been under 3.75x and Moody's anticipates a flat to
modestly improving leverage profile through 2014. Moody's also
expects continued improvement in operational efficiency over the
next 12 to 18 months to more strongly position the company within
its rating category.

Moody's expects that Colfax will maintain adequate liquidity over
the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2013, the company had
over $300 million of cash on its balance sheet with over $500
million of incremental liquidity available under its revolving
credit facilities due in 2018. Moody's believe revolver
availability will continue to be sufficient after giving effect to
the Victor acquisition. The company is anticipated to have
significant headroom under its financial covenants. Moody's expect
Colfax to allocate a portion of free cash flow for bolt-on
acquisitions.

Colfax's stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Colfax
will show modest improvement over the next 6 to 12 months that
will largely serve to improve its credit quality. Moreover, as
free cash flow is anticipated to fund growth initiatives,
deleveraging is expected to occur primarily through greater
profitability over an extended period.

Colfax's ratings may be downgraded if leverage were anticipated to
exceed 4.25 times for a sustained period of time or if margins
were to appreciably weaken. A reduction in free cash flow
generation could also the pressure the ratings or outlook.

Colfax is not anticipated to be upgraded over the short term.
However, positive ratings traction could occur if Colfax were to
successfully integrate Victor while continuing to improve across
its other businesses such that the company's leverage were to
decrease under 3.5 times and free cash flow available for debt
reduction anticipated to exceed 12%.

The ratings and rating outlook for Victor are expected to remain
under review until the pending transaction is addressed.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Manufacturing Industry published in December 2010. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

Colfax Corporation, headquartered in Fulton, Maryland, is a global
manufacturer of gas- and fluid-handling and fabrication technology
products. The Gas and Fluid Handling operating segment is a

mining, marine among others. The Fabrication Technology segment
supplies welding equipment, cutting equipment and consumables with
end markets including wind power, shipbuilding, pipelines,
mobile/off-highway equipment and mining. Revenues for 2013 were
approximately $4.2 billion.

Victor, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, is a global designer

and hardfacing alloys and welding equipment. Victor was acquired
by affiliates of Irving Place Capital ("IPC") in December 2010 is
expected to be acquired by Colfax in 2014. Pro forma for the
acquisition of Gas-Arc Group, net sales for the year ended
December 31, 2013 were approximately $500 million.

ratio of not less than 8.5%.  The Bank's Tier 1 Leverage capital
ratio was 6.46% at December 31, 2012.  Continued failure to comply
with the regulatory action may result in additional adverse
regulatory action," the Company said in its annual report for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.


CONSOL ENERGY: Moody's Confirms Ba3 CFR & B1 Senior Debt Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's confirmed the ratings of CONSOL Energy Inc. (CONSOL),
including the Ba3 corporate family rating (CFR), Ba3-PD
probability of default rating and the B1 rating on senior
unsecured debt. At the same time, Moody's assigned a Speculative
Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-3. The outlook is negative. This
concludes the review for downgrade initiated on October 29, 2013,
following the company's announcement that it has entered into an
agreement to sell all of its longwall steam coal mines in West
Virginia (roughly 30 million tons in production, and 1.1 billion
tons of reserves) to Murray Energy for $3.5 billion in value,
including $850 million in cash and the assumption of $2.4 billion
of other postretirement benefits (OPEB) and other legacy
liabilities.

Ratings Rationale

The Ba3 corporate family rating (CFR) reflects CONSOL's low-cost
coal assets in the Northern Appalachian coal basin, meaningful
metallurgical (met) coal production, sizable presence in the gas
business, large reserves of coal and natural gas, and the
stability provided by its long-term thermal coal agreements. The
ratings are also supported by the reduced legacy liability burden
following the divestiture to Murray Energy. That said, Moody's
expect the transaction to negatively impact the company's leverage
metrics in the near term, reducing 2014 EBITDA by over $200
million with little or no corresponding reduction in debt. As of
December 31, 2013, Debt/ EBITDA, as adjusted by Moody's and
excluding divested operations, exceeded 5x. Although Moody's
anticipate the leverage to trend down over longer term Moody's
expect it to remain above 4.2x over the next twelve months.

CONSOL's retained coal assets include three efficient low cost
longwall mines in the Northern Appalachian Pittsburgh seam, which
production can be directed into either thermal or the high-vol
metallurgical coal markets. Due to marketing flexibility, high BTU
and low sulfur content of these coals, Moody's expect the company
to place tonnage into both domestic and seaborne markets and
maintain relatively stable production volumes and margins over the
next two years. The ratings are further supported by the company's
healthy contracted position, with roughly 90% of thermal tons
secured under contract for 2014, and about 40% for 2015. The
company also retained two producing mines in Central Appalachia,
including its low-cost Buchanan mine, which produces low-vol
metallurgical coals, primarily directed to the international
markets. Despite the company's increased focus on the seaborne
markets following the divestiture, and the current weakness in
both metallurgical and thermal coal prices, Moody's expect that
the low cost position and high quality of the company's coal
assets will allow the coal division to continue generating healthy
margins. Moody's expect that following the expansion of the
company's BMX mine, scheduled to be completed in the first quarter
of 2014, the capital expenditures in the coal division will be
limited to maintenance, allowing the coal business to remain
roughly free cash flow neutral, even in a relatively weak price
environment. In 2013, the company's continuing coal operations
sold 29 million tons of coal, including 7 million tons of met
coal, at an average margin of about $18.5 per ton. In 2014,
Moody's expect the coal division to sell about 30 million tons of
coal, including roughly 7 million tons of met coal, with an
average margin of roughly $15 per ton.

Although the gas division contributed only roughly one third of
consolidated EBITDA in 2013, Moody's expect this contribution to
increase towards 50%, as gas production ramps up over the next two
to three years. The company's ratings are supported by its ample
reserves (proven reserves of roughly 5.7 Tcfe, of which nearly 45%
are developed), and its sizeable acreage in the low-cost Marcellus
and Utica shales. After producing 172 net Bcfe of natural gas in
2013, management targets roughly 30% annual growth production,
with increasing concentration in liquid-rich zones of Marcellus.
The ratings are constrained, however, by the substantive capital
investments that will be needed to achieve a commensurate growth
in reserves. Out of $1.5 billion capital investment budgeted for
2014, roughly $1 billion will be spent on drilling and completions
in Marcellus and Utica. While Moody's expect the company to gain
efficiencies, Moody's believe that absolute investments in the gas
business are likely to increase in the future years. Although
management has initiated a number of asset sales in the past to
help finance the natural gas expansion, and has stated its
intention to continue doing so, Moody's believe that at least a
portion of future capex will be debt-financed. Moody's view the
company's natural gas business as effectively highly leveraged
over the next two years, after considering the original $2.7
billion of debt raised in 2010 to acquire the gas assets in
Marcellus and Utica from Dominion Resources, and assuming
increasing absolute levels of debt. The ratings are also
constrained by our expectation that natural gas prices will remain
range-bound at around $4/ MMBtu over the next two years, which
will limit the extent to which the natural gas division will be
able to finance its expansion through the operating cash flows. In
2013, the gross margin generated on natural gas sales averaged
roughly $0.80 per Mcfe, and Moody's expect it to approach $1.00
per Mcfe in 2014, based on the current hedged position.

The SGL-3 liquidity rating reflects our view that the company has
adequate liquidity, sufficient to cover its cash needs over the
next twelve months. The company's liquidity primarily consists of
roughly $327 million in cash and roughly $1.7 billion available
under the revolvers ($1 billion CONSOL Energy revolver and $1
billion CNX Gas revolver, both expiring in April 2016). Over the
next twelve months, Moody's expect moderate revolver usage to fund
capital investments. Moody's expect the company to remain in
compliance with the revolvers' financial covenants over the next
twelve months. The company's nearest maturity is $1.5 billion of
senior unsecured debt due in April 2017.

The B1 rating on senior unsecured debt reflects its position in
the capital structure behind the secured revolvers. Substantially
all assets of the company are pledged as collateral under the
revolving credit agreements.

The negative outlook reflects our expectation that the company's
leverage will remain elevated over the next twelve months, with
Debt/ EBITDA, as adjusted, exceeding 4.2x over the next twelve
months.

The ratings outlook could be stabilized if Debt/ EBITDA, as
adjusted, were expected to be maintained below 4.5x on a sustained
basis. CONSOL's ratings could come under pressure if Debt/ EBITDA
exceeds 4.5x on a sustained basis, debt to capital ratio
approaches 65%, or if liquidity deteriorates.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Mining Industry published in May 2009. Other methodologies used
include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

CONSOL Energy Inc. is a major diversified fuel producer in the
Eastern US. In 2013, the company sold 29 million tons of coal,
172 net Bcfe of natural gas, and generated revenues of over
$3 billion.

The confirmation hearing will be held on April 24, 2014, at 10:00
a.m.  Objections or proposed modifications, if any, to the Plan
must be submitted no later than April 7.

The Plan will be funded by cash on hand the estate will have on
the effective date, which the Trustee estimates to total
approximately $35,519,322.  General Unsecured Claims, totaling
$375,361,793, are impaired and holders are expected to recover
only 4.9%-12.6% of their claim amount.  Bill Rochelle, the
bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, said the Trustee
indicated that she might collect $30 million more from lawsuits,
raising the distribution for unsecured creditors to 12.6%.

The plan administrator will make distributions first to holders of
allowed administrative expense claims, second to holders of
allowed priority tax claims, third to a reserve for allowed
professional fee claims and trustee commission, and fourth an
initial distribution to holders of allowed unsecured claims.

               About Marc Dreier and Dreier LLP

Marc Dreier founded New York-based law firm Dreier LLP --
http://www.dreierllp.com/-- in 1996.  On Dec. 8, 2008, the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission filed a suit, alleging that Mr.
Dreier made fraudulent offers and sales of securities in several
cities, selling fake promissory notes to hedge and other private
investment funds.  The SEC asserted that Mr. Dreier also
distributed phony financial statements and audit opinions, and
recruited accomplices in connection with that scheme.  Mr. Dreier,
currently in prison, was charged by the U.S. government for
conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud (S.D.N.Y. Case No.
09-cr-00085).

Dreier LLP sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.
08-15051) on Dec. 16, 2008.  Stephen J. Shimshak, Esq., at Paul,
Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, was tapped as counsel.
The Debtor estimated assets of $100 million to $500 million, and
debts between $10 million and $50 million in its Chapter 11
petition.

Sheila M. Gowan, a partner with Diamond McCarthy, was appointed
Chapter 11 trustee for the Dreier law firm.  Ms. Gowan is
represented by Diamond McCarthy LLP.  Dickstein Shapiro LLP is the
trustee's special trial counsel.

Wachovia Bank National Association; the Dreier LLP Chapter 11
Trustee; and Steven J. Reisman as post-confirmation representative
of the bankruptcy estate of 360networks (USA) Inc. signed a
petition that put Mr. Dreier into bankruptcy under Chapter 7 on
Jan. 26, 2009 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 09-10371).  Mr. Dreier
pleaded guilty to fraud and other charges in May 2009.  The
scheme to sell $700 million in fake notes unraveled in late 2008.
Mr. Dreier is serving a 20-year sentence in a federal prison in
Minneapolis.


DUMA ENERGY: Changes Name to "Hydrocarb Energy Corporation"
-----------------------------------------------------------

Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada.
Pursuant to the amendment the Company's new name will be HYDROCARB
ENERGY CORPORATION.  The name change has a future effective date
of Feb. 18, 2014.  The Amendment also increased the number of the
Company's authorized shares to be 1,000,000,000 shares of stock.
A copy of the Amendment to Articles of Incorporation is available

                         About Duma Energy

Corpus Christi, Tex.-based Duma Energy Corp. --
http://www.duma.com/-- formerly Strategic American Oil
Corporation, is a growth stage oil and natural gas exploration and
production company with operations in Texas, Louisiana, and
Illinois.  The Company's team of geologists, engineers, and
executives leverage 3D seismic data and other proven exploration
and production technologies to locate and produce oil and natural
gas in new and underexplored areas.

Duma Energy incurred a net loss of $40.47 million for the year
ended July 31, 2013, a net loss of $4.57 million for the year
ended July 31, 2012, and a net loss of  $10.28 million for the
year ended July 31, 2011.  As of July 31, 2013, the Company had
$26.27 million in total assets, $16.91 million in total
liabilities and $9.36 million in total stockholders' equity.


EDGEN GROUP: S&P Hikes Corp. Credit Rating to BB-, Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it raised its corporate
credit rating on Edgen Group to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The outlook is
stable.

At the same time, S&P raised its issue-level rating on the
company's 8.75% senior secured notes to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  S&P also
revised the recovery rating on the notes to '3' from '4',
reflecting its revised expectation for a meaningful recovery (50%
to 70%) for lenders in the event of a payment default.  This is in
line with S&P's notching guidelines for a '3' recovery rating and
the 'BB-' corporate credit rating on Edgen Group.

S&P removed all ratings from CreditWatch, where it placed them
with developing implications on Oct. 1, 2013.

"The stable outlook reflects our view that credit measures will
improve primarily because of the 35% note tender in January 2014
and financial performance will at least stabilize in the near term
due to positive demand drivers, including higher spending by E&P
companies and well counts.  Still, we expect leverage to remain in
the 4x to 5x range over the next 12 months," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Amanda Buckland.

A downgrade could be triggered if operating results weaken such
that the pace of deleveraging, as measured by debt to EBITDA, does
not decrease to less than 5x by year-end 2014 due to weaker cash
flow.  A downgrade is also possible if working capital usage or an
acquisition depleted liquidity that is not replaced by an influx
of cash or continued access to a line of credit from Sumitomo.

An upgrade is possible if debt to EBITDA decreases to less than 4x
or FFO to debt increases to more than 20%.  Improved operating
results reflected by EBITDA margin expansion and sales growth due
to higher spending and an improved supply/demand balance in the
North American oil and gas industry is also needed to support an
upgrade.


EDGENET INC: Noteholders, Lender Respond to Cash Collateral Motion
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ernest Wu, who represents a group of holders of notes issued by
Edgenet Inc., which collectively represent $18.35 million in
claims against the Debtors, responded to the Debtors' request for
a final order to use cash collateral.

Mr. Wu, in his capacity as Owners' Representative, seeks certain
modifications to the provisions in the Final Cash Collateral
Order, including access to the Debtors' premises, representatives,
and agents; and adjustment to the period that allows interested
parties and any official unsecured creditors committee to launch
an investigation or challenge the liens and security interests of
the lender arising from the pre-bankruptcy loan.

Mr. Wu noted that the nature, validity and priority of the Note
Holders' claims are disputed.  However, it is undisputed, Mr. Wu
said, that they currently hold a security interest in the Debtors'
assets.  In addition, it appears that there is insufficient
interest among unsecured creditors to form a committee.

A copy of Mr. Wu's response is available at no extra charge at:

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

Liberty Partners Lenders LLC supports the request of Edgenet Inc.
et al. to use cash collateral.  Liberty said it has sought to
assist the Debtors in achieving a soft landing into chapter 11 and
is committed to assisting the Debtors throught the Chapter 11
cases.  Liberty said its goal is to encourage an environment
whereby the Debtors maximize value and creditor recoveries by
efficiently selling substantially all of their assets to the
highest and best bidder.  To that end, Liberty said it has agreed
to provide assistance to the Debtors in numerous forms, including
its consent to the use of cash collateral.  Liberty said the
Debtors' use of cash collateral is necessary for the maintenance
and ultimate conclusion of the Chapter 11 cases, and the terms of
the proposed Final Cash Collateral Order accord with the
Bankruptcy Code and all applicable rules.

Liberty also noted that the Owners' Representative does not
categorically oppose the Debtors' use of cash collateral.
Instead, he focuses on certain specific provisions of the proosed
Final Order.  Liberty said it is willing to participate in
negotiations with the Owners' Representative and the Debtors to
attempt to resolve issues raise by the Owners' Representative.

A copy of Liberty's response is available at no extra charge at:

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

The Bankruptcy Court was scheduled to hold a hearing Feb. 11 on
the Cash Collateral Motion.  The Court has not issued a ruling on
the request, according to the case docket.

As of the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors owed Liberty roughly
$85 million, comprised of $53 million in principal indebtedness
and $32 million in unpaid interest through Dec. 31, 2013.  The
Debtors also owe $18 million on account of notes issued in
connection with the purchase of the equity interests of
predecessor EdgeNet Inc. in 2004.

The Debtors proposes to provide the lender with certain adequate
protection, including, among other things, (a) administrative
claims; and (b) to the extent of diminution in the value of the
prepetition collateral, additional and replacement security
interests and liens in and upon all real or personal assets of the
Debtors' estates.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 13, 2014,
Edgenet et al., filed a complaint with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware to avoid and recover transfers made
by the Debtors to or for the benefit of Mr. Wu, individually and
in his capacity as representative of former owners of Edgenet who
took back $20 million in subordinated promissory notes.  The
lawsuit stems from the 2004 reverse triangular merger under which
Liberty Partners Holdings 44, L.L.C., formed Edgenet Holding
Company, which acquired all of the equity interests of Edgenet.
At the time of the sale, in addition to the approximately $40
million paid for the equity interests in EdgeNet, certain former
owners of EdgeNet also took back $20 million in subordinated
promissory notes.  To secured the repayment of the Seller Notes,
the Debtors pledged certain assets.  Subsequent to the execution
of the Seller Notes and the Security Agreement, the Owners
Representative filed on behalf of the Seller Noteholders a UCC-1
perfecting their collective security interest in and to the
Collateral.

ELBIT IMAGING: Creditors OK Postponement of Collaterals Creation
----------------------------------------------------------------
Elbit Imaging Ltd. announced the results of the meeting of the
Company's unsecured financial creditors that voted on the
postponement of the creating and registering of the collaterals
securing the new notes which will be issued under the terms of the
plan of arrangement between the Company and its unsecured
financial creditors by 45 business days following the closing of
the Arrangement.  Accordingly, the creating and registering will
be deemed an undertaking of the Company (rather than a condition
precedent to the closing of the Arrangement), the failure to
satisfy thereof, will render the holders of the New Notes the
right to demand early repayment of any and all amounts due under
the New Notes.

At the Meeting, unsecured financial creditors holding
approximately 99.8 percent of the aggregate voting power
participating in the Meeting voted in favor of the Resolution.

The closing of the Arrangement remains subject to other conditions
precedent, as described in the Previous Announcement, which the
Company is pursuing with the objective to execute the same as
early as possible.

Following the request of the trustees of the noteholders, the
Company reported at the Meeting that the Board of Directors of the
Company has authorized it to enter into negotiations and
subsequently to enter into a non-binding letter of intent for the
pursuit of a certain investment in the share capital of its
subsidiary that is participating in a tender for a project in
Greece.

                         About Elbit Imaging

Tel-Aviv, Israel-based Elbit Imaging Ltd. (TASE, NASDAQ: EMITF)
hold investments in real estate and medical companies.  The
Company, through its subsidiaries, also develops shopping and
entertainment centers in Central Europe and invests in and manages
hotels.

Elbit Imaging disclosed a loss of NIS455.50 million on NIS671.08
million of total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, as
compared with a loss of NIS247.02 million on NIS586.90 million of
total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011.

Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., in Tel-Aviv, Israel, expressed
substantial doubt about Elbit Imaging's ability to continue as a
going concern following the financial results for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2012.

The Certified Public Accountants noted that in the period
commencing Feb. 1, 2013, through Feb. 1, 2014, the Company is to
repay its debenture holders NIS 599 million (principal and
interest).  "Said amount includes NIS 82 million originally
payable on Feb. 21, 2013, that its repayment was suspended
following a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors.  The
Company's Board also resolved to suspend any interest payments
relating to all the Company's debentures.  In addition, as of
Dec. 31, 2012, the Company failed to comply with certain financial
covenants relating to bank loans in the total amount as of such
date of NIS 290 million.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed NIS4.83
billion in total assets, NIS4.96 billion in total liabilities and
a NIS122.24 million shareholders' deficiency.

Since February 2013, Elbit has intensively endeavoured to come to
an arrangement with its creditors.  Elbit has said it has been
hanging by a thread for more than five months.  It has encountered
cash flow difficulties and this burdens its day to day activities,
and it certainly cannot make the necessary investments to improve
its assets.  In light of the arrangement proceedings, and
according to the demands of most of the bondholders, as well as an
agreement that was signed on March 19, 2013, between Elbit and the
Trustees of six out of eight series of bonds, Elbit is prohibited,
inter alia, from paying off its debts to the financial creditors -
- and as a result a petition to liquidate Elbit was filed, and
Bank Hapoalim has declared its debts immediately payable,
threatening to realize pledges that were given to the Bank on
material assets of the Company -- and Elbit undertook not to sell
material assets of the Company and not to perform any transaction
that is not during its ordinary course of business without giving
an advance notice to the trustees.

Accountant Rony Elroy has been appointed as expert for examining
the debt arrangement in the Company.

In July 2013, Elbit Imaging's controlling shareholders, Europe-
Israel MMS Ltd. and Mr. Mordechay Zisser, notified the Company
that the Tel Aviv District Court has appointed Adv. Giroa Erdinast
as a receiver with regards to the ordinary shares of the Company
held by Europe Israel securing Europe Israel's obligations under
its loan agreement with Bank Hapoalim B.M.  The judgment stated
that the Receiver is not authorized to sell the Company's shares
at this stage.  Following a request of Europe-Israel, the Court
also delayed any action to be taken with regards to the sale of
those shares for a period of 60 days.  Europe Israel and Mr.
Zisser have also notified the Company that they utterly reject the
Bank's claims and intend to appeal the Court's ruling.


EMPIRE DIE: Taps Roetzel and Stites & Harbison as Special Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Empire Die Casting Co., Inc. amended its application to employ
Roetzel & Andress, LPA and Stites & Harbison, LLP as special
counsel.

The application is amended to include several matters in which
Roetzel was retained to represent the Debtor prepetition.  In
support of this amended application, the Debtor refers to and
relies upon (i) the amended affidavit of Patricia Fugee, a partner
of Roetzel, and (ii) the affidavit of Erika R. Barnes, a member of
Stitles.

The Debtor contemplates that the proposed special counsel will
provide legal representation to the Debtor related to its claim
against Oreck and Oreck's bankruptcy case.

In addition, the Debtor contemplates that Roetzel will provide
legal representation to the Debtor with respect to the matters
that were pending as of petition date, and any other, further
labor litigation matters which may arise.

In the period from Oct. 16, 2012 to the petition date, Roetzel
received $91,328 and Stites received $3,905 in compensation from
the Debtor for prepetition advice and assistance.  As of petition
date, the Debtor owed nothing to Roetzel and $495 to Stites on
account of prepetition services rendered and expenses incurred on
behalf of the Debtor.

Stites did not hold a retainer from the Debtor on the petition
date.  However, as of the petition date, Roetzel held a retainer
from the Debtor in the amount of $4,189.

Roetzel & Andress' rates are:

   Name                         Hourly Rate
   ----                         -----------
Patricia B. Fugee               $340/hr
Robert E. Blackham              $395/hr

Stites & Harbison's rates are:

   Name                         Hourly Rate
   ----                         -----------
Erika R. Barnes                 $275/hr

Each of the firms attests it is a "disinterested person" as the
term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Roetzel said it has connections to various creditors of the Debtor
and other parties-in-interest in matters related to the Debtor,
the Debtor's reorganization case or such entities' claims against
or interests in the Debtor.

Stites said it has represented, and in the future likely will
represent, various creditors of the Debtor and other parties-in-
interest in matters related to the Debtor, the Debtor's
reorganization case or such entities' claims against or interests
in the Debtor.

ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL: Talisman Stake at 15.6% as of Feb. 4
-------------------------------------------------------------
Talisman Realty Capital Master, L.P., and its affiliates disclosed
in a Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission that as of Feb. 4, 2014, they beneficially owned
7,620,570 shares of common stock of Endeavour International
Corporation representing 15.61 percent of the shares outstanding.

                    About Endeavour International

Houston-based Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE: END)
(LSE: ENDV) is an oil and gas exploration and production company
focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of energy
reserves in the North Sea and the United States.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss
of $126.22 million as compared with a net loss of $130.99 million
during the prior year.  The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30,
2013, showed $1.50 billion in total assets, $1.41 billion in total
liabilities, $43.70 million in series C convertible preferred
stock, and $46.24 million in total stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 5, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Endeavour International Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating to Caa3 from Caa1.  Endeavour's Caa3 CFR reflects its weak
liquidity, small production and proved reserve scale, geographic
concentration and the uncertainties regarding its future
performance given the inherent execution risks related to its
offshore North Sea operations for a company of its size.

In the Feb. 22, 2013, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Houston,
Texas-based Endeavour International Corp. (Endeavour) to 'CCC+'
from 'B-'.  The rating action reflects S&P's expectation that
Endeavour could have insufficient liquidity to meet its needs due
to the delay in production from its Rochelle development.


ENGLOBAL CORP: Provides Post-Divestiture Corporate Update
---------------------------------------------------------
ENGlobal Corporation provided a corporate update after considering
its 2012-2013 business divestitures, the most recent of which was
closed in the third quarter of 2013.

While the Company has yet to complete its final year-end
accounting and audit processes, ENGlobal provided the following
analysis of its post-divestiture performance and estimated fourth
quarter 2013 financial data from continuing operations:

   1. Revenue of approximately $25 million.

   2. Consolidated gross profit margin of approximately 19 percent
      of revenue.

   3. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of
      approximately 17 percent of revenue, including non-recurring
      transition expenses.

   4. At Dec. 28, 2013, cash on hand of approximately $5.5
      million, without borrowing from the Company's working
      capital facility.

"Our current business is best represented by an increase in gross
profit margins and an improved financial condition as a smaller,
more focused Company," said William A. Coskey, P.E., ENGlobal's
president and chief executive officer.  "The position that we find
ourselves in today is a direct result of steps initiated in late
2012, which includes a largely rebuilt and highly motivated
management team, an emphasis on customer satisfaction, project
execution and cost containment; and innovative strategies for
future business development.  While we are not satisfied with our
overall results, we are pleased with the progress we have made to
date and look forward to additional improvements in the coming
year."

As previously reported, the Company discontinued its electrical
services division and divested its land/right of way and midstream
inspection divisions during 2012, as well as divested its Gulf
Coast engineering and in-plant operations in the third quarter of
2013.  ENGlobal experienced operating losses through the first
half of 2013 and, therefore, expects to report an operating loss
for the full year 2013, despite post-divestitures operating
improvements.

ENGlobal plans to issue its results for the year ended Dec. 31,
2013, and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K on or about
March 13, 2014.

                          About ENGlobal

Houston-based ENGlobal Corporation (Nasdaq: ENG) is a provider of
engineering and related project services primarily to the energy
sector throughout the United States and internationally.  ENGlobal

the year ended Dec. 31, 2011.  The Company's balance sheet at
Sept. 28, 2013, showed $46.08 million in total assets, $20.39

stockholders' equity.

Hein & Associates LLP, in Houston, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has suffered losses from operations and is in default
of its debt agreements.  This raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


ENTERPRISES PRODUCTS: Fitch Raises Jr. Sub. Notes Rating From BB+
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Enterprise Products Operating LLC's
(EPO) Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and senior unsecured debt rating
to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. Additionally, Fitch has upgraded EPO's
junior subordinate notes to 'BBB-' from 'BB+' and affirmed its
'F2' short-term IDR and commercial paper rating. Roughly $17
billion in debt is affected by today's action. The Rating Outlook
is Stable.

The upgrade reflects the quality and diversity of the company's
sizable portfolio of midstream assets, the strong resulting cash
flow and earnings from EPO's growth project spending, the
company's conservative management approach towards distributions
and financings and its increasing percentage of fee-based revenue.
EPO has demonstrated strong access to both debt and equity markets
throughout the business cycle focused on continuing to grow cash
flow and earnings and pay its distribution, while maintaining
strong distribution coverage and decreasing its exposure to
commodity price volatility. Its size and scale provide it ample
organic growth opportunities and its integrated midstream energy
systems serves as a crucial link between oil and gas producers and
consumers throughout the U.S.

Fitch recognizes that EPO is in the middle of a significant
capital spending program. Fitch expects that leverage, coverage,
and distribution metrics will continue to exhibit strength
relative to similarly rated midstream companies, despite EPO's
large capital expenditure program. Fitch expects EPO's debt/EBITDA
to be around 3.5 times (x) in 2014.

KEY RATINGS DRIVERS

Beneficial Size & Scale: EPO's sizable portfolio of midstream
assets provides strong consistent cash flow and earnings. EPO's
midstream asset base covers most major domestic gas producing
basins. Geographic and business line diversity largely insulate
EPO from any dynamic shifts in oil and gas production as well as
provides ample organic growth opportunities within its operating
footprint, limiting the need to make large scale acquisitions for
the sake of growth. EPO accesses all of the major gas and oil
production regions in the U.S. EPO serves all U.S. based ethylene
steam crackers, which are the largest consumers of natural gas
liquids (NGLs). Fitch notes that NGL and crude prices can be very
volatile and weakness in crude, NGL, and or fractionation spreads
could impact EPO's cash flow and earnings.

Significant Capital Spending: Fitch recognizes that EPO is in the
middle of a significant capital spending program. These growth
investments are largely focused on fee-based or revenue assured
assets which should continue to help lower EPO's exposure to
changes in commodity prices. Additionally, Fitch expects EPO's
leverage metrics will improve as EPO benefits from the earnings
and cash flow associated with project completion and operation.

Decreased Business Risk: EPO's large capital spending program has
primarily been focused on lower risk projects with solid returns
and long-term contracts with revenue assurance characteristics. As
a result, the company has seen the percentage of its fee-based
gross margin, not subject to commodity price volatility, move to
over 80% (2013). This shift in fixed fee type revenue has and will
result in less earnings and cash flow volatility even as natural
gas, NGL and oil prices have fluctuated.

Strong Metrics: EPO's year-end 2013 financial metrics were strong
for the ratings category with debt/ EBITDA of 3.5x with a 50%
equity treatment for EPO's junior subordinated notes. Distribution
coverage remained strong relative to its master limited
partnership peers at roughly 1.5x for 2013. Fitch expects
distribution coverage for 2014 - 2015 to remain well above 1.2x.
Fitch expects leverage to remain near 3.5x in 2014.

Beneficial Industry Trends: Longer term the growing production and
utilization of oil, natural gas, and NGLs has prompted the
movement of energy production activity to liquids rich producing
basins and underpinned a strong need for midstream infrastructure.
This shift has been and should continue to be highly beneficial to
EPO given its scale and geographic scope and the need for
midstream solutions.

Adequate Liquidity: Liquidity remains adequate with cash and
availability under its revolver of roughly $4.1 billion at 2013
year end. Near term maturities are manageable with $650 million of
maturing notes remaining for 2014 and $1.3 billion in notes
maturing in 2015.

Credit Concerns for EPO Include:

-- Significant growth capital expenditures through 2015, which
    have the potential to weigh on metrics in the near term;

-- Exposure, though limited, to commodity price volatility
    particularly NGL margins.

RATINGS SENSITIVITIES

Positive: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to positive rating action include:

-- Maintaining debt/adjusted EBITDA at 3.0x or below on a
    sustained basis.

Negative: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to negative rating action include:

-- Continued large-scale capital expenditure program funded by
    higher than expected debt borrowings, leading to debt/EBITDA
    of approximately 4.0x or above on a sustained basis.

-- An increase in gross margin sensitivity to changes in
    commodity prices.

Fitch upgrades the following ratings:

-- Long-term IDR to 'BBB+' from 'BBB';
-- Senior unsecured rating to 'BBB+' from 'BBB';
-- Junior subordinated rating to 'BBB-' from 'BB+'.

Fitch affirms the following ratings:

-- Short-term IDR at 'F2';
-- Commercial paper at 'F2'.

F&H ACQUISITION: Hearing on Sale of Assets Set for Feb. 28
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware approved the procedures governing the private sale of
substantially all of the assets of F&H Acquisition Corp. and its
debtor affiliates to Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, in deal
valued at more than $125 million, and scheduled a hearing to
consider approval of the sale for Feb. 28, 2014.

The total transaction value includes (i) assumption of
approximately $70 million of debt under the first lien credit
agreement; (ii) assumption of up to approximately $9.6 million of
debt under the DIP credit agreement; (iii) rollover of $10 million
of debt under the second lien credit agreement; (iv) a partial
credit bid of debt under the Second Lien Credit Agreement of $19
million; (v) $14.5 million in cash, of which $4.5 million would be
transferred to the Debtors for the purpose of the wind down; and
(vi) an estimated $6.7 million in additional assumed liabilities.

The purchase price for the assets will be (i) the cash payment as
set forth in Section 3.1(b), plus (ii) the assumption of
liabilities by buyer at closing, plus (iii) $19 million, to be
satisfied in the form of a credit against the prepetition second
lien obligations.

Judge Gross also shot down objections against the motion to the
extent not resolved.  Before the approval of the sale procedures,
Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, objected to the
motion to the extent it seeks to implicitly or expressly approve
anything other than (a) a process to determine and pay cure
obligations, if any, (b) a process for counterparties of the
contracts and leases to object to the cure amounts as well as the
Buyer's proposed adequate assurance, and (c) the scheduling of a
hearing, with an appropriate objection deadline, to approve the
private sale.  A group of owners of certain regional shopping
centers at which the Debtors are tenants called "the Taubman
Landlords" objected to the extremely short period of time between
the procedures hearing date and the hearing to approve the sale of
the assets, as well as the assumption and assignment of leases.
The Taubman Landlords also complained of the inadequate cure
amounts the Debtors propose to pay.

FISKER AUTOMOTIVE: Continental Automotive Opposes Sale of Tooling
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A group of manufacturers led by Continental Automotive Systems,
Inc. said it may own some of the tools and machines that would be
included in the proposed sale of Fisker Automotive Holdings,
Inc.'s assets.

Continental Automotive complained that the proposed order
approving the sale gives Fisker the right to sell them in
contravention of the manufacturers' "possible ownership interest"
in those tools and machines.

In its lists of assets and liabilities, Fisker claims it owns
certain tools and machines held by Continental Automotive worth
more than $2.07 million.

Meanwhile, Diversified Machine Inc. and Fisker Coachbuild LLC
expressed concern over the possible assumption, assignment or
rejection of their contracts with Fisker as part of the proposed
sale.  DMI said it doesn't have existing contracts with Fisker
that are eligible for assumption or rejection.

Fisker proposed to sell its assets to China's Wanxiang Group,
which emerged as the winning bidder at a recently held auction.
Wanxiang offered to buy the assets for $149.2 million, beating out
a rival bidder Hybrid Tech Holdings LLC.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross is scheduled to consider
approving the sale on Feb. 18.

                      About Fisker Automotive

Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc., developer of the Karma plug-in
hybrid electric sedan, filed a petition for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-13087) on Nov. 22, 2013.

Fisker estimated assets of more than $100 million and listed debt
of $500 million in its bankruptcy petition.  The assets include an
assembly plant purchased for $21 million from General Motors Corp.
The plant never operated.  The cars were assembled in Finland.
Fisker now has 21 employees.

Fisker received a $529 million loan from the Department of
Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program
and drew down about $192 million before the department froze the
loan after Fisker failed to hit several development targets.  The
company defaulted on its loan in April 2013.

Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross presides over the case.  The Debtors
have tapped James H.M. Sprayregen, P.C., Esq., Anup Sathy, P.C.,
Esq., and Ryan Preston Dahl, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in
Chicago, Illinois, as co-counsel; Laura Davis Jones, Esq., James
E. O'Neill, Esq., and Peter J. Keane, Esq., at Pachulski Stang
Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, as co-counsel;
Beilinson Advisory Group as restructuring advisors; and Rust
Consulting/Omni Bankruptcy, as notice and claims agent and
administrative advisor.

On November 5, 2013, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
was appointed. The members are: (a) David M. Cohen; (b) Sven
Etzelsberger; (c) Kuster Automotive Door Systems GmbH; (d) Magna
E-Car USA, LLC; (e) Supercars & More SRL; and (f) TK Holdings Inc.
The Committee is represented by William R. Baldiga, Esq., and
Sunni P. Beville, Esq., at Brown Rudnick LLP; and Mark Minuti,
Esq., at Saul Ewing LLP.

Fisker sought bankruptcy protection to pursue a private sale of
its business to Hybrid Tech Holdings, LLC.  The Committee,
however, wants a sale public sale, and has identified Wanxiang
America Corporation as stalking horse bidder.

Hybrid was initially under contract to buy Fisker in exchange for
$75 million of the $168.5 million government loan it acquired
immediately before the Debtor's Chapter 11 filing.  Hybrid later
raised its offer by adding an additional $1 million cash and
agreeing to share proceeds from the sale of a facility in Delaware
it doesn't intend to operate.  Hybrid also offered to pay real
estate taxes on the Delaware plant.  Hybrid also will waive $90
million in deficiency claims that otherwise would dilute unsecured
creditors' recovery.

Wanxiang, as stalking horse bidder, initially offered $25.8
million in cash.  However, Wanxiang has said it has raised its

                      About Fisker Automotive

Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc., developer of the Karma plug-in
hybrid electric sedan, filed a petition for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-13087) on Nov. 22, 2013.

Fisker estimated assets of more than $100 million and listed debt
of $500 million in its bankruptcy petition.  The assets include an
assembly plant purchased for $21 million from General Motors Corp.
The plant never operated.  The cars were assembled in Finland.
Fisker now has 21 employees.

Fisker received a $529 million loan from the Department of
Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program
and drew down about $192 million before the department froze the
loan after Fisker failed to hit several development targets.  The
company defaulted on its loan in April 2013.

Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross presides over the case.  The Debtors
have tapped James H.M. Sprayregen, P.C., Esq., Anup Sathy, P.C.,
Esq., and Ryan Preston Dahl, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in
Chicago, Illinois, as co-counsel; Laura Davis Jones, Esq., James
E. O'Neill, Esq., and Peter J. Keane, Esq., at Pachulski Stang

America Corporation as stalking horse bidder.

Hybrid was initially under contract to buy Fisker in exchange for
$75 million of the $168.5 million government loan it acquired
immediately before the Debtor's Chapter 11 filing.  Hybrid later
raised its offer by adding an additional $1 million cash and
agreeing to share proceeds from the sale of a facility in Delaware
it doesn't intend to operate.  Hybrid also offered to pay real
estate taxes on the Delaware plant.  Hybrid also will waive $90
million in deficiency claims that otherwise would dilute unsecured
creditors' recovery.

Wanxiang, as stalking horse bidder, initially offered $25.8

FURNITURE BRANDS: Hearing Held on Bid to Terminate Policies
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court on Feb. 10, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., commenced a
hearing to consider the request of FBI Wind Down, Inc., formerly
known as Furniture Brands International, Inc., for authorization
to surrender, terminate or otherwise monetize certain insurance
policies, and authorize life insurance companies to distribute
policy proceeds.

At the hearing, the Court was to consider objections to the
request, including that of James Poarch, James A. Cornelison, and
William Isaacs, a former insured under the insurance policies.

Mr. Poarch asked the Court to direct the Debtor to pay back the
cash value of the policy paid.

Mr. Cornelison requested that the decision to deny vested
employees their legally earned benefits be revoked and that the
Debtor or their designee etc. be ordered to pay the Henredon
employees the full cash surrender value of their policies.

Joseph H. Huston, Jr., Esq., at Stevens & Lee, P.C., on behalf of
Mr. Isaacs, joined in the objections filed by Messrs. Walters,
Stroupe, Abshire, Claus, Cornelison, Poarch and Ms. Robinson to
the motion.  Mr. Isaacs also requested that issues relating to the
benefit plan and reliance policy be clearly preserved for another
day.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 12, 2014,
Henredon Pacific Life policy holders objected to the motion filed
by the Debtor.

Policy holder Ann R. Robinson asked the Court to investigate and
change the motion so that the cash value will be paid to the
employees.  Ms. Robinson said that this is a policy that she has
counted on as a death benefit for her family and to take care of
her final expenses.

Ms. Robinson added that she has contributed for years to the post
retirement Henredon life insurance policies and it was her
understanding that this a vested paid-up policy.

Policy holder Richard Claus said his policy was purchased from
Pacific Life Insurance Co.  In his objection, he inquired if the
Employee's Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) may apply since
employees have vested rights to these policies by paying for them
over the years.

Roy Walters, et al., in their objection, stated that the insurance
policies were paid by payroll deductions and they do not
understand how the Debtor could have the right to all the proceeds
from the life insurance policies.

GENERAL AUTO BUILDING: Bid to Disqualify Tonkon Torp Pending
------------------------------------------------------------
Trial was held in January on (i) the motion filed by the U.S.
Trustee seeking removal of Tonkon Torp LLP as counsel to General
Auto Building LLC, and to disallow the firm's fees; and (ii) the
objection filed by the U.S. Trustee to the firm's application for
final professional compensation.

At the end of the Jan. 13 hearing, Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth L.
Perris took the matter under advisement.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Acting U.S. Trustee
for Region 18, Gail Brehm Geiger, objected to the application for
final professional compensation filed by Tonkon Torp on Sept. 20,
2013, Claim 34-1, and asked the Bankruptcy Court to enter an
order: (i) disallowing fees requested by Tonkon Torp as of the
date it commenced its representation of McCall General
Investments, LLC ("MGI") in connection with the Chapter 11 case of
General Auto Building through the date the Plan became effective;
(ii) requiring Tonkon Torp to forgo taking an interest in Heorot
Mead Hall, LLC, in exchange for fees; (iii) disallowing fees
charged to the estate for work performed for the benefit of MGI;
(iv) disallowing all fees for Tonkon Torp's defense of its
employment and fee application; and (v) for such other relief as
the Court deems appropriate.  According to the Acting U.S.
Trustee, MGI through its membership interest in Heorot has an
ownership interest in substantial insider claims.

The Acting U.S. Trustee explains: "Tonkon Torp was no longer
disinterested and held and represented interests adverse to
the estate when it: (1) represented MGI in connection with this
case, and (2) negotiated an equity interest in Heorot during the
pendency of the Chapter 11 case.  Tonkon Torp failed to make
complete or timely disclosures of its connections, fee
arrangements, and fee payments as required by the Bankruptcy Code
and Rules.  The estate should not be charged for services that
appear to have been rendered for the benefit of MGI, and Tonkon
Torp should not receive fees for defending its dual employment by
the Debtor and MGI.

"Tonkon Torp's fees should be disallowed for the period of
April 2, 2013, through Aug. 31, 2013 -- the date it began its dual
representation of the Debtor and MGI in connection with this case
through the last business day preceding the Plan's effective date.
Tonkon Torp should also be required to forgo an equity interest in
Heorot in payment of fees incurred through the Effective Date."

                    About General Auto Building

General Auto Building, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
(Bankr. D. Ore. Case No. 12-31450) on March 2, 2012.  The Debtor
is an Oregon limited liability company formed in 2007 with its
principal place of business in Spokane, Washington.  It was formed
to renovate and lease its namesake commercial property located at
411 NW Park Avenue, Portland, Oregon.  As of the Petition date,
the Debtor has developed virtually all of the General Automotive
Building and has leased approximately 98% of the building's space
to retail and commercial tenants.  The Debtor continues to seek
tenants for the remaining spaces.

Judge Elizabeth L. Perris presides over the case.  Michael W.
Fletcher, Esq., Albert N. Kennedy, Esq., and Ava L. Schoen, Esq.,
at Tonkon Torp LLP, serve as the Debtor's counsel.

The Debtor has scheduled $10,010,620 in total assets and
$13,519,354 in total liabilities.

The U.S. Trustee was unable to appoint an official committee of
unsecured creditors in the case.

As reported in the TCR on Aug. 1, 2013, the Court confirmed the
Debtor's Fifth Amended Plan.  A copy of the confirmation order is
available at http://bankrupt.com/misc/generalauto.doc440.pdf

Thereafter, Judge Perris denied Park & Flanders LLC's motion to
reconsider the order confirming the Fifth Amended Plan, dated
Feb. 11, 2013.  Judge Perris said she is not convinced that Park &
Flanders has demonstrated a basis for reconsideration of the
confirmation order.


GETTY IMAGES: Bank Debt Trades at 6% Off
----------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Getty Images Inc.

the-dollar during the week ended Friday, February 7, 2014,
according to data compiled by LSTA/Thomson Reuters MTM Pricing and

relates.  Getty Images Inc. pays 350 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the facility.  The bank loan matures on Oct. 14,
2019, and carries Moody's B2 rating and Standard & Poor's B-
rating.  The loan is one of the biggest gainers and losers among
205 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in
secondary trading for the week ended Friday.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Sept. 5, 2013,
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Getty Images on
review for downgrade based on weaker than expected results through
2Q2013 and Moody's revised expectations for the next 12 months.
According to Moody's, Corporate Family Rating of Issuer: Getty
Images, Inc. and Abe Investment Holdings, Inc., currently B2, is
placed on review for possible downgrade.


GOODYEAR TIRE: Fitch Affirms 'B+' Issuer Default Rating
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'B+' Issuer Default Rating (IDR)
and various issue ratings of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
(GT) and its subsidiary Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. (GDTE).

GT's ratings apply to a $2 billion secured revolving credit
facility, a $1.2 billion second lien secured term loan and $3
billion in senior unsecured notes. GDTE's ratings apply to a
Eur400 million secured revolving credit facility and Eur250
million of senior unsecured notes.

The Rating Outlooks for GT and GDTE have been revised to Positive
from Stable.

Key Rating Drivers

GT's ratings reflect the company's strong market position as the
third-largest global manufacturer of replacement and original
equipment (OE) tires. Although GT's global unit tire sales have
declined annually over the past two years, the company's focus on
producing higher-margin high value added (HVA) tires and its cost
reduction initiatives have helped to grow margins and operating
income as revenue has fallen. However, the tire volume decline in
2013 was driven solely by lighter volumes in the first quarter, as
GT's global tire volumes rose in each of the last three quarters
of 2013. This suggests that GT's volume declines have bottomed and
will grow modestly going forward. Free cash flow improved markedly
in 2013, although discretionary pension contributions made early
in the year kept the overall free cash flow figure negative.

Liquidity remains strong, in part due to the company issuing debt
to fund its 2013 discretionary pension contribution. Fitch expects
GT's credit protection metrics will improve over the intermediate
term as overall tire demand grows, particularly in emerging
markets, and the company makes further progress on improving its
cost structure. Leverage is likely to trend down over the
intermediate term, as earnings rise and as the company was able to
fund its 2014 discretionary pension contribution without issuing
incremental debt. With the discretionary contributions to its U.S.
salaried and hourly pension plans in 2013 and 2014, the funded
status of the company's global pension plans has improved
dramatically, and it is no longer viewed as a key risk to GT's
credit profile.

Rating concerns include growing tire industry capacity,
particularly in North America, which could pressure industry
pricing over the longer term, and volatility in raw material
costs, especially for natural rubber. The tire market environment
in Europe remains a concern, although the brightening economic
situation in the region may help the market to at least stabilize
over the next year. Other concerns include seasonal swings in GT's
working capital, and margins that continue to lag several of its
key European and Asian competitors. GT's focus on lessening
working capital volatility has shown results over the past two
years, with the magnitude of the seasonal changes significantly
reduced, while cost savings initiatives and a continued focus on
pricing will help to narrow its competitive profitability gap.

GT's free cash flow generation has improved markedly over the past
two years. Free cash flow in 2013 was ($271) million. However,
excluding $834 million in discretionary pension contributions made
in early 2013, free cash flow would have been $563 million. This
compares to free cash flow of ($118) million in 2012 and ($285)
million in 2011. The improvement has largely been driven by GT's
HVA tire focus, traction on cost reduction activities and
moderating raw material prices. Going forward, Fitch expects GT to
continue posting positive free cash flow, excluding pension pre-
funding, although volatile raw material prices remain a meaningful
risk. Capital spending in 2014 is expected to decline somewhat, to
a range of $900 million to $1 billion, while GT's common stock
dividend, which the company began paying in the fourth quarter of
2013, will reduce free cash flow by $55 million annually (at the
current payout rate), although a partial offset will be the
savings of $29 million in annual preferred stock dividends once
GT's Series B preferred stock converts to common stock on April 1,
2014.

The funded status of GT's pension plans has improved dramatically
following the company's discretionary contributions to its U.S.
salaried plan in early 2013 and its U.S. hourly plan in January
2014. GT now estimates that its plans are underfunded by only $700
million, down from $3.5 billion at year end 2012. Based on GT's
labor agreement with the United Steelworkers entered into in
August 2013, the company can freeze its U.S. hourly pension plan
on April 30, 2014. The remaining underfunded pension plans are
primarily outside the U.S., with a sizeable portion of the
remaining underfunding tied to unfunded plans in certain countries
where plans are administered on a pay-as-you-go basis. GT
estimates that after contributing $1.3 billion to its pension
plans in 2014, cash pension funding will only be $75 million
annually in 2015 and 2016.

GT's liquidity position remains relatively strong. At year-end
2013, prior to the early 2014 discretionary pension contribution,
GT had $3 billion in cash and cash equivalents and another $1.7
billion available on its primary U.S. and European revolvers. Cash
and cash equivalents was well above the $1 billion level that
management considers the minimum necessary to meet GT's daily
operational requirements through the cycle. Other than $207
million in accounts receivable facility borrowings due in 2015,
the company has no significant debt maturities until 2019,
although its European and U.S. revolvers mature in 2016 and 2017,
respectively. Fitch expects GT to retain a reasonably high level
of financial flexibility over the intermediate term, with strong
liquidity and positive free cash flow (excluding discretionary
pension contributions).

On an EBITDA basis, GT's gross leverage (debt/Fitch-calculated LTM
EBITDA) at year-end 2013 was 3.0x, up slightly from 2.8x at year
end 2012, as a result of a $900 million senior unsecured note
issuance in February 2013 that was used to fund the contributions
to its U.S. salaried pension plan. EBITDA improved to $2.1 billion
in 2013 from $1.8 billion in 2012 as the EBITDA margin grew to
10.7% from 8.6%. The growth in the EBITDA margin was notable,
given that revenue of $19.5 billion in 2013 was down $1.5 billion
year-over-year. Over the intermediate term, Fitch expects leverage
to trend down on increased earnings and cash flow.

The rating of 'BB+/RR1' on GT's and GDTE's secured credit
facilities reflects their substantial collateral coverage and
outstanding recovery prospects in the 90% to 100% range in a
distressed scenario. The rating of 'B/RR5' on GT's unsecured notes
reflects Fitch's expectation that recoveries would be below
average, in the 10% to 30% range, in a distressed scenario. The
relatively low level of expected recovery for the unsecured debt
is the result of the substantial amount of higher-priority secured
debt in the company's capital structure.

The rating of 'BB/RR2' on GDTE's senior unsecured notes is higher
than the rating on GT's unsecured notes due to structural
seniority. GDTE's notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by GT
and GT's subsidiaries that guarantee the parent company's secured
credit facility. However, GDTE does not guarantee GT's senior
unsecured notes. The recovery prospects of GDTE's senior unsecured
notes also benefit from the lower level of secured debt at GDTE.
GDTE's credit facility and senior unsecured notes are subject to
cross-default provisions relating to GT's material indebtedness.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Positive: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to a positive rating action include:

-- Demonstrating positive growth in tire unit volumes, market
    share and revenue;

-- Producing positive annual free cash flow on a sustained basis
    (adjusted for discretionary pension contributions);

-- Generating sustained gross EBITDA margins of 11% or higher;

-- Maintaining leverage below 3.5x for an extended period.

Negative: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to a negative rating action include:

-- A significant step-down in demand for the company's tires;

-- An unexpected increase in costs, particularly related to raw
    materials, that cannot be offset with higher pricing;

-- A decline in the company's cash below $1 billion for several
    quarters;

-- A sustained increase in gross EBITDA leverage above 4.0x,
   particularly to support any shareholder-friendly activities.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings for GT and GDTE:

GT

-- IDR at 'B+'
-- Secured bank credit facility at 'BB+/RR1';
-- Secured second-lien term loan at 'BB+/RR1';
-- Senior unsecured notes at 'B/RR5'.

GDTE

-- IDR at 'B+';
-- Secured bank credit facility at 'BB+/RR1';
-- Senior unsecured notes at 'BB/RR2'.

The Rating Outlook for both companies is revised to Positive from
Stable.

HALLWOOD GROUP: Merger Consideration Hiked to $13 Per Share
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Hallwood Group Incorporated has reached a settlement in a
purported class and derivative action which, subject to court
approval, will increase the Merger Consideration by $3.00 per
share, from $10.00 to $13.00 per Share, less any incentive fee and
attorneys' fees that may be awarded by the Court.

As previously announced, on June 4, 2013, the Company, Hallwood
Financial Limited ("Parent"), and HFL Merger Corporation, a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent
("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as
amended on July 11, 2013.  The Merger Agreement provides that,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company,
with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  Parent is controlled by
Anthony J. Gumbiner, chairman and chief executive officer of the
Company, and Parent currently owns 1,001,575, or 65.7 percent, of
the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10
per share, of the Company.

Section 2.1(a) of the Merger Agreement provides, among other
things, that at the Effective Time, each Share (other than
Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares) will be converted
automatically into and will thereafter represent the right to
receive $10.00 in cash, without interest.

On Aug. 23, 2013, Gary L. Sample filed a purported class and
derivative action in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware against the parties to the Merger Agreement and certain
directors and officers of the Company, asserting, among other
things, that the Original Merger Consideration was unfair and did
not reflect the true value of the Company and all of its assets.

On Feb. 7, 2014, Plaintiff and the Defendants entered into a
Stipulation of Settlement, by and through their respective
attorneys, whereby the Parties agreed that, in order to resolve
the Litigation, the parties to the Merger Agreement would, among
other actions, amend the Merger Agreement to increase the Merger
Consideration by $3.00 per share, from $10.00 per Share to $13.00
per Share, less any incentive fee and attorneys' fees that may be
awarded by the Court to Plaintiff and Plaintiff's counsel in
accordance with the Stipulation.  The Defendants specifically deny
that they have engaged in any wrongdoing, deny that they committed
any violation of law, deny that they breached any fiduciary
duties, and deny liability of any kind to Plaintiff, the Company,
or its stockholders.  The Increased Merger Consideration will be
paid if the settlement set forth in the Stipulation is approved by
the Court and the Merger is consummated pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment to the
Merger Agreement, which was entered into by the Company, Parent,
and Merger Sub as of Feb. 7, 2014.

The Board of Directors of the Company, by affirmative vote of all
of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company other than
Mr. Gumbiner, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the
Special Committee, has (i) reaffirmed its original determination
that the Merger is substantively and procedurally fair to the
Company's minority and unaffiliated stockholders; (ii) declared
that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and
its minority stockholders that the Increased Merger Consideration
be accepted in connection with the Settlement in order to resolve
the Litigation and as an additional benefit to the Company's
minority stockholders if the Settlement is approved by the Court
and the Merger is consummated pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment; (iii) approved the
execution, delivery and performance of the Second Amendment; and
(iv) resolved to recommend adoption by the stockholders of the
Company of the Merger Agreement as amended by the Second
Amendment.

If the Settlement is approved by the Court, all known and unknown
claims against the Defendants relating to the Litigation, the
Merger, the Settlement, and investments in securities issued by
the Company between Nov. 6, 2012, and the date of the Merger will
be released, including derivative claims.  If the Court does not
approve the Settlement, the Settlement and any actions to be taken
with respect to the Settlement will be of no further force or
effect and will be null and void, provided, however, that any
amendment to the Merger Agreement entered into by the parties
thereto will remain in effect.  In the event that the Court does
not approve the Settlement, the parties to the Merger Agreement
have agreed to proceed with the consummation of the Merger based
on the Original Merger Consideration of $10.00 per Share, without
the $3.00 per Share increase to the Merger Consideration
contemplated by the Second Amendment, which would involve the
resolicitation of stockholder approval at that price.

The Company has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC
relating to the holding of a special meeting of its stockholders
for the adoption of Merger Agreement.  In the near future, the
Company expects to file with the SEC, and subsequently mail to its
stockholders, a definitive proxy statement, and currently expects
that the special meeting of stockholders will be held in March or
April 2014.

Dallas, Texas-based The Hallwood Group Incorporated (NYSE MKT:
HWG) operates as a holding company.  The Company operates its
principal business in the textile products industry through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Brookwood Companies Incorporated.

Brookwood is an integrated textile firm that develops and produces
innovative fabrics and related products through specialized
finishing, treating and coating processes.

Prior to October 2009, The Hallwood Group Incorporated held an
investment in Hallwood Energy, L.P. ("Hallwood Energy").  Hallwood
Energy was a privately held independent oil and gas limited
partnership and operated as an upstream energy company engaged in
the acquisition, development, exploration, production, and sale of
hydrocarbons, with a primary focus on natural gas assets.  The
Company accounted for the investment in Hallwood Energy using the
equity method of accounting.  Hallwood Energy filed for bankruptcy
in March 2009.  In connection with the confirmation of Hallwood
Energy's bankruptcy in October 2009, the Company's ownership
interest in Hallwood Energy was extinguished and the Company no
longer accounts for the investment in Hallwood Energy using the
equity method of accounting.

Hallwood Group incurred a net loss of $17.94 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $6.33 million in 2011.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed
$65.88 million in total assets, $25.75 million in total
liabilities, and stockholders' equity of $40.13 million.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Dallas, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company is dependent on its subsidiary to receive the cash
necessary to fund its ongoing operations and obligations.  It is
uncertain whether the subsidiary will be able to make payment of
dividends to its fund ongoing operations.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

HELIA TEC: HSC Holdings Seeks Appointment of Bankruptcy Trustee
---------------------------------------------------------------
HSC Holdings Co., Ltd., asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas to appoint a bankruptcy trustee if the
Chapter 11 case of Helia Tec Resources, Inc., is not converted to
a Chapter 7 case.

Appointment of a trustee "is appropriate based on overwhelming
conflicts of interest" involving Helia Tec's management, according
to HSC lawyer, David Harberg, Esq., at The Law Offices of David B.
Harberg, in Houston, Texas.

Mr. Harberg also said there is evidence of "dishonesty, breach of
fiduciary duty and gross management" of the company on the part of
its president Cary Hughes, which makes the appointment of an
outside trustee necessary.

The lawyer cited a case where Mr. Hughes and another officer
allegedly offered to settle Helia Tec's arbitration claim as well
as their claims against HSC's predecessor GE&F Co. Ltd. to gain
personally from the deal.  Another case was when both officers
chose to pay themselves over $186,000 from the settlement payment
made by GE&F to Helia Tec rather than use the money to pay the
company's trade creditors, according to Mr. Harberg.  Both
officers "have already demonstrated that they will put their
interests above those of creditors as well as those of Helia Tec's
majority shareholder," Mr. Harberg said.
In a court filing, Helia Tec denied most of the allegations made
by HSC including allegations that its bankruptcy case was filed in
bad faith and that there are "substantial and material conflicts
of interest inherent" in the case.

IBAHN CORP: Has $13MM Deal for Assets, Auction Set for March 7
--------------------------------------------------------------
iBahn Corporation, et al., entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Guest-Tek International Ltd. for the sale of
substantially all of their assets for $13 million plus the
assumption of certain liabilities, subject to higher and better
bids.

Judge Peter J. Walsh of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware has approved the procedures governing the sale of the
assets and has scheduled an auction for March 7, at 9:00 a.m.
(Eastern Time), at the offices of Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones
LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware.

To be a potential bidder, a person must deliver the potential bid
documents to the Debtors' financial advisor and counsel by March
4, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time).  The auction will take place
if, as of the Bid Deadline, the Debtors have received one or more
Qualified Bids.

If the asset purchase agreement with Guest-Tek is terminated
because the Debtors consummate the sale a prevailing bidder that
is not Guest-Tek and Guest-Tek, as the stalking horse, is not in
default under the APA, the Debtors will be required, from the
proceeds of the sale to the Prevailing Bidder, at closing, to pay
to the Stalking Horse the break-up fee in the amount of $390,000
and an expense reimbursement of up to $110,000 upon submission of
invoices, for a total of up to $500,000.

by March 3.  The sale hearing will be held before the Court on
March 11, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

         Nomadix Says it was Frozen Out of Sale Process

Nomadix, Inc., filed a limited objection, complaining that the
Debtors must conduct the sale in a manner that is fair and
reasonable and designed to maximize the value of the asset being
auctioned, which includes providing potentially interested bidders
access to due diligence materials.  Nomadix said access has been
denied to it and as a result, the recovery for the estates and
their creditors may suffer.  Nomadix added that it has offered to
execute a confidentiality agreement but, in response, the Debtors'
financial advisors sent the company a letter setting forth vague
conditions on which they would even consider granting the company
and its corporate parent, DOCOMO interTouch Pte. Ltd.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reported that unlike other potential buyers, who were required
only to sign a confidentiality agreement, Nomadix said, it's being
forced to show corporate authority from NTT along with financial
capacity to carry out an acquisition.

A hearing is set for Feb. 18, when Nomadix will ask the bankruptcy
judge to grant access to the information.

Counsel to the Debtors is Laura Davis Jones, Esq., and James
O'Neill, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware.

development of novel synthetic DNA- and RNA-based drug candidates
that are designed to modulate immune responses mediated through
Toll-like Receptors, or TLRs.  The Company has two drug
candidates, IMO-3100, a TLR7 and TLR9 antagonist, and IMO-8400, a
TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9 antagonist, in clinical development for the
treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

In the auditors' report on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, Ernst & Young LLP, in Boston,
Mass., expressed substantial doubt about Idera's ability to
continue as a going concern, citing recurring losses and negative
cash flows from operations and the necessity to raise additional
capital or alternative means of financial support, or both, prior
to Dec. 31, 2013, in order to continue to fund its operations.

The Company reported a net loss of $19.2 million on $51,000 of
revenue in 2012, compared with a net loss of $23.8 million on
$53,000 of revenue in 2011.  Revenue in 2012 and 2011 consisted of
reimbursement by licensees of costs associated with patent
maintenance.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $39.57
million in total assets, $2.46 million in total liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of $37.11 million.


INTERFAITH MEDICAL: Proposes Temporary Operator for Hospital
------------------------------------------------------------
Interfaith Medical Center, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of New York to approve a term sheet it
entered into with the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York
and vacate the automatic stay to the extent necessary to permit
the appointment of a temporary operator.

The Term Sheet is a settlement agreement between IMC and DASNY
that: (a) would (i) provide IMC with substantial funding that
should ensure IMC's administrative solvency, and also hopefully
lead to distributions to IMC's prepetition unsecured creditors
plus (ii) facilitate the continued operation of IMC's hospital and
clinic operations; while (b) enabling DASNY's concerns about IMC's
operations to be addressed by having DOH determine the identity of
the post-March 14, 2014 senior manager of IMC's Hospital and
Clinics.

The Temporary Operator and any professionals it retains would be
subject to the Court's approval and oversight.  The Temporary
Operator would be managing those assets that would be retained or
conveyed by the DIP Lender.  The DIP Lender and the New York State
Department of Health would be responsible for funding the use of
the DIP Collateral that is being managed by the Temporary
Operator; and the funding would be subject to review by the Court
and interested parties.

The motion and the term sheet are supported by the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

                 U.S. Trustee, et al., Object

William K. Harrington, U.S. Trustee for Region 2, objects to the
proposed motion complaining "In an attempt to mollify the serious
concerns of its regulatory agency and its secured lender regarding
the Debtor's current management, while still allowing the Debtor
and its professionals to retain some level of control, the Debtor
has crafted a complex, unworkable and impractical structure
involving an unprecedented pre-confirmation bifurcation of its
estate into a business division controlled by a temporary operator
appointed by the DOH and a non-operating division controlled by
the Debtor's current Board of Trustees and management. This
proposed estate bifurcation, with its commensurate appointment of
a Temporary Operator, is not authorized by the Bankruptcy Code."
The proposed appointment of a Temporary Operator and bifurcation
of the estate leaves the Debtor without a true fiduciary with
duties owing to creditors and to the estate.  Rather, the Debtor
proposes to appoint an individual whose fiduciary obligation under
state law is to the DOH, not to creditors and to the estate.  For
the reasons stated, the U.S. Trustee asks the Court to deny the
motion.

The United States, on behalf of the Secretary of Health and Human
Services, objects to the motion and the term sheet, asserting that
in instances in which a facility participating in the Medicare
program undergoes a change of ownership, Medicare regulations
provide that an existing provider agreement is automatically
assigned to a successor, subject to all the applicable statutes,
regulations, and terms and conditions under which it was
originally issued.  The HHS further asserts that if the proposed
Temporary Operator chooses to reject assignment of IMC's Medicare
Provider Agreement and does not accept successor liability, the
Temporary Operator will not be able to participate in the Medicare
program.  Rejection of assignment is considered to be a voluntary
termination of the existing Medicare provider agreement and there
will be no Medicare payments for services under the rejected
provider agreement furnished on or after the acquisition date, the
HHS adds.

The 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and the New York State
Nurses Association tell the Court that they support the motion to
the extent that it provides continued funding for the operations
of the Hospital and it changes the management.  The Unions,
however, take no position and reserve their rights in the fact
that the community is still excluded from the process in
determining the future course of action for Interfaith.

The Committee of Interns and Residents/Service Employees
International Union supports the efforts of the Debtor to preserve
IMC as an operating hospital, and is pleased to see the effort to
do so as demonstrated by the Term Sheet.  The CIR also recognizes
that the Term Sheet is simply the beginning of the process of the
formulation, negotiation and confirmation of a Plan of
Reorganization by the Debtor and the other Interested Parties.  To
the extent any issue may arise at or after the hearing on the
Motion, or not be addressed to CIR's satisfaction, CIR reserves
the right to raise those matters with the Court.

             Parties Ordered to Further Mediation

Bankruptcy Judge Carla E. Craig modified her mediation order to
add the U.S. Trustee as a party for the purpose of mediating
issues relating to the U.S. Trustee's objection to the motion and
the term sheet.

J.C. PENNEY: To Replace Finance Chief with Stage Stores Executive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Everdeen Mason, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
J.C. Penney Co. said Ken Hannah will depart as its chief financial
officer, a move that comes as the struggling department-store
retailer looks to turn around its business.

According to the report, Penney named former Stage Stores Inc.
executive Edward Record as his replacement, effective March 24.

Earlier this month, the company reported it failed to meaningfully
improve sales in the fourth quarter, renewing fears and sending
its stock sinking, the Journal related.  The results raised
questions about whether the company would be able to climb out of
the hole caused by a failed overhaul under former Chief Executive
Ron Johnson.

Mr. Hannah was brought on as finance chief in May 2012, during Mr.
Johnson's tenure, the report further related.  When Mr. Johnson
was ousted last year, a number of executives were thought to
follow, though Mr. Hannah was considered more likely to stay.

However, the company has struggled to stem its sales decline and
has taken to periodically releasing its sales figures and
liquidity position, looking to reassure its investor base, the
report said.

                         About J.C. Penney

J.C. Penney Company, Inc. is one of the U.S.'s largest department
store operators with about 1,100 locations in the United States

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 4, 2013,
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) on
J.C. Penney Co., Inc. and J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. to 'CCC'
from 'B-'.


J.C. PENNEY: Bank Debt Trades at 4% Off
---------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which JC Penney is a
borrower traded in the secondary market at 96.41 cents-on-the-
dollar during the week ended Friday, February 14, 2014, according
to data compiled by LSTA/Thomson Reuters MTM Pricing and reported
in The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.28
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
JC Penney pays 500 basis points above LIBOR to borrow under the
facility.  The bank loan matures on April 29, 2018 and carries
Moody's B2 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.  The loan is
one of the biggest gainers and losers among 205 widely quoted
syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary trading for
the week ended Friday.

J.M. HUBER: S&P Raises Corp. Credit Rating to BB+; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its corporate credit
rating on J.M. Huber Corp. to 'BB+' from 'BB'.  The outlook is
stable.

At the same time, S&P raised its senior unsecured debt rating on
the company's $225 million of senior unsecured notes due 2019 to
'BB+' from 'BB'.  The recovery rating on this debt remains
unchanged at '3', indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50%
to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

"The rating upgrade reflects stronger earnings and cash flow from
strengthening U.S. housing markets and the company's continued
prudent financial policies," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Henry Fukuchi.  As a result, S&P is revising its assessment of
Huber's financial risk profile to "intermediate" from
"significant".  Correspondingly, S&P expects the company's ratio
of funds from operations (FFO) to adjusted debt to be about 40%
over the next year.  S&P's adjusted Huber's debt by $211 million
to include capitalized operating leases and underfunded
postretirement obligations.  S&P continues to regard the company's
business risk profile as "fair".

The stable outlook on Huber reflects S&P's expectation for
continued earnings stability at CP Kelco and HEM, as well as
further strengthening of U.S. residential construction markets
during the next year, which should result in improved earnings at
HEW.  S&P expects Huber to balance its growth initiatives with
prudent leverage and maintain an "intermediate" financial risk
profile.  At the current ratings, S&P expects Huber to maintain
FFO to total adjusted debt between 35% and 40% in the next few
years, although S&P expects it to be slightly higher in 2014.

In view of Huber's current business mix, S&P would consider an
upgrade if the company's FFO to adjusted debt ratio exceeded 45%
on a sustainable basis, and S&P would need to believe that future
business conditions and financial policies would continue to
support this higher ratio.  This could occur if 2014 revenues
increase around 5% to 6% as expected and the EBITDA margins
increase more than 200 basis points from current expectations in
2014.

S&P would lower the ratings if Huber's FFO to adjusted debt ratio
dropped below 30% with no immediate prospects for recovery.  S&P
believes this could occur if 2014 revenue declines by more than
10% from expectations and EBITDA margins decrease to the midteens
percentage area.


KAHN FAMILY: Opposes Wells Fargo Bid to Prohibit Use of Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------------
Kahn Family, LLC, asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Helen Burris to deny
the request of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., to prohibit the company
from using cash collateral.

Kahn Family said it has already provided Wells Fargo with an
accounting, and that the company will seek the bank's consent once
it uses the cash collateral.

Wells Fargo wants the company barred from using the cash
collateral, saying it has not met its burden to show the bank is
adequately protected.  Wells Fargo is the holder of six loans to
Kahn-related entities, which are generated by Mr. Kahn and secured
by various collateral pledged by non-debtor and debtor entities.
Collectively, the loans have a balance due of $61,802,838 as of
Jan. 3, 2014.

noted that Company is in default on certain covenants of its loan
agreements at Jan. 31, 2013.  "The lenders have not waived these
events of default and may demand repayment at any time.
Management is currently trying to secure replacement financing but
does not have new financing available at the date of this report."


LANDESK GROUP: Moody's Rates Proposed 2nd Lien Debt 'Caa1'
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service revised LANDesk Group Inc.'s ratings
outlook to negative from stable, affirmed the B2 corporate rating,
revised the probability of default to B2-PD from B3-PD and revised
the rating on Landslide Holdings Inc.'s first lien secured debt to
B1 from B2 and assigned a Caa1 to the Landslide's proposed second
lien debt. The change in outlook is driven by the large proposed
dividend and the increase in debt being used to finance the
distribution to the private equity owners Thoma Bravo.

Ratings Rationale

The $200 million proposed distribution is the second owner's
distribution in the last [six] months. The owners will have take
out nearly 3x their initial investment after this distribution. As
a result, leverage pro forma for the transaction will exceed 6x
based on preliminary 2013 results excluding certain transaction
and integration related expenses. Including the expenses, leverage
is approximately 7x. With a modest amount of growth however the
company should be able reduce leverage to below 6x over the next
18 months if they do not incur additional transaction related
expenses. LANDesk is expected to continue its moderate organic
growth rates and benefit from the integration of the Wavelink and
Shavlik acquisitions. The company is acquisitive however and debt
financed acquisitions would likely delay de-leveraging and lead to
a downgrade. To the extent proceeds from the proposed dividend
transaction are re-invested to fund acquisitions and related
expenses, leverage may not be impacted and could potentially
improve if they acquire profitable assets.

The ratings outlook is negative reflecting the limited flexibility
the company has in the rating category given their very high
leverage, aggressive financial policies and acquisition appetite.
The ratings could be downgraded If performance deteriorates or if
leverage is not on track to get below 6x over the near term.
Ratings could be upgraded if leverage is sustained below 4x. Given
the aggressive financial policies of the owners an upgrade is
unlikely in the near to medium term.

Liquidity is adequate based on an expected $10 million of cash at
closing, expected free cash flow of approximately $25 million over
the next year and an undrawn $20 million revolver. The debt
instrument ratings are based on their relative position in the
capital structure.

LANDSLIDE HOLDINGS: S&P Cuts Rating on $20MM Revolver Debt to 'B'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its issue-level rating
to 'B' from 'B+' on South Jordan, Utah-based Landslide Holdings
Inc.'s (doing business as LANDesk Software) $20 million revolving
credit facility due 2018, and S&P's recovery rating on the
facility to '3' from '2', following the company's proposed
dividend recapitalization.  The corporate credit rating is
unchanged at 'B'.  The outlook is stable.

In addition, S&P assigned its 'B' issue-level rating with a
recovery rating of '3' to the company's proposed $378 million
senior secured first-lien term loan due 2020.  The '3' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful recovery (50% to
70%) in the event of payment default.  S&P will withdraw its
ratings on the company's current first-lien term loan following
the close of the transaction.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'CCC+' issue-level rating to
LANDesk's proposed $130 million senior secured second-lien term
loan due 2021, with a recovery rating of '6', indicating its
expectation for negligible recovery (0% to 10%) in the event of
payment default.

"The rating action reflects our view of the company's 'highly
leveraged' financial risk profile, with leverage in the low 6x
area at Dec. 31, 2013, pro forma for the proposed transaction, up
from the low 4x area at Sept. 30, 2013," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Christian Frank.

The ratings also reflect S&P's view of LANDesk's "weak" business
risk profile with a narrow market focus on end-point management
software targeted at small-to-midsize businesses, competition from
much larger market participants, and customer churn that is higher
than software peers'.  Partly offsetting the above factors, in
S&P's view, are the company's good recurring revenue base
representing more than 60% of total revenue and strong channel
partner relationships, which have allowed it to increase revenue
and improve profitability in 2013.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's anticipation that LANDesk's
meaningful base of recurring revenue and good bookings growth are
likely to result in stable operating performance during the next
12 months.  S&P could lower the rating if increased competition,
integration challenges, the loss of a key channel partner, or
debt-financed acquisitions or shareholder returns result in
leverage above the low 7x area on a sustained basis.  S&P is
unlikely to raise the rating during the next year based on its
view that the company's private equity ownership structure likely
precludes sustained deleveraging.

leverage, initially from the acquisition of the lower-leveraged

million of annual operating synergies," said Standard & Poor's

LONGVIEW POWER: Settles with Foster Wheeler
-------------------------------------------
Longview Power, LLC, et al., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware to approve a settlement with Foster Wheeler
North America Corp., resolving many years of dispute between the
two parties.  The settlement provides that Foster Wheeler will
timely vote to accept the Debtors' Plan of Reorganization.

The salient terms of the Settlement are as follows:

   (a) Rehabilitation Work. Foster Wheeler will perform
       rehabilitation work with respect to a coal-fire boiler
       under the supervision and to the satisfaction of Longview.
       Foster Wheeler will not receive any payment or compensation
       from Longview for the completion of the Rehabilitation
       Work, unless a Termination occurs, or if Foster Wheeler's
       performance is materially delayed by Longview.  Any
       Rehabilitation Work performed by Foster Wheeler before the
       effective date of the Plan of Reorganization will have (a)
       an Allowed Administrative Expense priority under Section
       503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code -- which claim will be junior
       to Longview's DIP financing -- and (b) all protections
       provided for Sections 364(b) and (e) of the Bankruptcy
       Code.

   (b) Guaranty of Rehabilitation Work. As security for the
       completion of the Rehabilitation Work, Foster Wheeler will
       provide Longview a guaranty, which will remain in full
       force and effect until the expiration of the warranty
       period.

   (c) Letters of Credit. Foster Wheeler agrees to keep certain
       letters of credit in full force and effect until the timely
       completion of the 2015 Outage and the successful completion
       of the Performance Testing and submission of the results
       thereof to Longview.

   (d) Assignment of Claims. Longview will assign to Foster
       Wheeler, the following claims arising under Longview's
       contracts with Kvaerner North America Construction, Inc.,
       and Siemens Power Generation, Inc: (i) the price to perform
       the Rehabilitation Work that is the responsibility of
       Siemens and/or Kvaerner, and (ii) the claims Longview is
       entitled to assert against Siemens and/or Kvaerner arising
       from the claims Foster Wheeler has asserted against
       Longview arising from the Boiler Agreement, to the extent
       that Foster Wheeler is not entitled to directly assert
       those claims against Kvaerner and/or Siemens without the
       assignment.

   (e) Mutual Release. Longview and Foster Wheeler will release
       each other from all actions, claims, proceedings,
       counter-claims, third-party claims, liabilities, damages,
       demands, defenses, costs, expenses, and fees that have
       arisen or might arise out of, or relate in any way to, the
       Boiler Agreement and Foster Wheeler's performance on the
       Project.

   (f) Release of Mechanics' Liens. Foster Wheeler must release
       and discharge any and all of its mechanics' liens against
       the Project and the property of Longview's estates and
       leasehold interests.

The Debtors and Foster Wheeler also ask the Court to file the
agreement under seal due to highly confidential and sensitive,
commercial and technical proprietary terms and information
relating to the specifications of the power facility, design and
manufacturing details of the boiler, and the remedial actions that
Foster Wheeler has agreed to take to resolve problems at the power
facility, the disclosure of which would provide the competitors of
Foster Wheeler with a commercial advantage over it and would be
detrimental to Foster Wheeler's ability to successfully compete in
the industry.  The Agreement, however, will be made available to
the Court, the Office of the U.S. Trustee, the Contractors,
Citicorp North America Inc. as administrative agent under the
Longview prepetition credit agreement, and the Backstoppers.

A hearing on the motion is scheduled for March 4, 2014, at 9:30
a.m.  Objections are due Feb. 25.

The Debtors are represented by Daniel J. DeFranceschi, Esq., Paul
N. Heath, Esq., Zachary I. Shapiro, Esq., and Marisa A. Terranova,
Esq., at RICHARDS, LAYTON & FINGER, P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware,

MBIA INSURANCE: Moody's Reviews 'B3' IFS Rating for Upgrade
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed the B3 insurance financial
strength (IFS) rating of MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA Corp.)
on review for upgrade following MBIA's announcement of its
commutation of $3 billion of commercial mortgage backed securities
pools. As part of the same rating action, Moody's placed the
ratings of MBIA Mexico S.A de C.V. (MBIA Mexico -- B3 IFS), MBIA
UK Insurance Limited (MBIA UK -- B1 IFS), and MBIA Inc. (Ba3,
senior debt) on review for upgrade. The Baa1 IFS rating of
National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (National) was
affirmed with a positive outlook. The rating action also has
implications for the various transactions wrapped by the MBIA
group as discussed later in this press release.

Summary Rationale

Moody's stated that the rating actions reflect the positive effect
that MBIA's recent settlement of CMBS exposures has had on the
credit profile of MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA Corp.) and its
linked affiliates. Specifically, the settlement, while in excess
of third quarter 2013 loss reserves, has substantially reduced
MBIA Corp.'s exposure to impaired CMBS and to the associated
potential losses in adverse scenarios. The effect of the
settlement will be reflected in YE 2013 statutory financials.
Following the settlement of approximately $3 billion of CMBS
exposures, MBIA Corp. retains only $760 million of exposure to
CMBS with reference obligations originally rated Baa, of which,
according to the insurer, approximately $391 million has some
associated statutory loss reserves. This settlement follows a
number of material settlements in 2013 that substantially reduced
the volatility of insured losses and improved the liquidity of
MBIA Corp. and terminated the main litigations challenging the
group's 2009 restructuring.

Ratings Rationale - MBIA Insurance Corporation

The B3 IFS rating, review for possible upgrade, of MBIA Corp.
reflects the firm's improved capital adequacy profile following
the settlement of CMBS exposures. As part of its review Moody's
will assess the insurer's post settlement capital adequacy and
liquidity profile. MBIA Corp.'s preferred stock (C rated) and
surplus notes (Ca rated) are not reviewed for upgrade, but have a
positive outlook, reflecting Moody's view of the meaningful
expected losses for these securities despite improvements at MBIA
Corp.

The B3 IFS rating, review for possible upgrade, of MBIA Mexico,
S.A. de C.V. (MBIA Mexico) reflects the formal and informal
support from MBIA Corp., in the context of the insurer's limited
size and standalone financial profile. Its rating is expected to
remain closely linked to that of its parent.

Ratings Rationale -- MBIA UK

The B1 IFS rating, review for possible upgrade, of MBIA UK
reflects its meaningful stand-alone financial resources relative
to its insured risks, as well as its limited standalone business
profile and lower pressures stemming from its weaker parent, MBIA
Corp. following the recent CMBS settlement. MBIA Corp.'s support
of MBIA UK, in the form of excess of loss reinsurance and net
worth maintenance agreements, is subordinated to insured claims
and thus of limited value, in Moody's opinion, due to MBIA Corp.'s
weaker credit profile.

Ratings Rationale -- MBIA Inc.

The Ba3 senior unsecured debt rating, review for possible upgrade,
of MBIA Inc. reflects the improving credit profile of its
subsidiaries and the resumption of dividend payments from
National. The firm's high debt burden and meaningful asset risks,
reflecting the deterioration of its wind-down operations, remain a
distinct weakness, however. MBIA Inc.'s senior debt rating is
currently five rating notches below the IFS rating of its lead
insurance subsidiary, National, rather than the more typical three
notches, reflecting weakness in its other subsidiaries.

Ratings Rationale -- National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation

According to Moody's, the Baa1 IFS rating of National, positive
outlook, reflects the insurer's strong overall capital profile and
ongoing de-risking through insured portfolio amortization. These
strengths are tempered by the fact that National is currently not
writing any material new business, operates in an industry that
has not recovered from the financial crisis and, like its peers,
the company faces significant headwinds from declining
fundamentals in the sector, including a dramatic reduction in
insurance usage, moderate prospective profitability and still-
meaningful legacy risk.

The positive outlook of National also reflects the improving
capital and liquidity trends at MBIA Corp., which reduce the need
and likelihood of support by National of its weaker affiliate.
While the credit quality of National's insured portfolio is
generally good and is supported by substantial claims paying
resources, its business position is characterized by a lack of
participation in the market. Moody's are also cautious about some
of National's large single risks and the linkages between these
obligations.

What Could Change The Ratings Up Or Down

The ratings of MBIA Corp., MBIA UK, MBIA Mexico and MBIA Inc.
could be raised if MBIA Corp's financial profile, both capital
adequacy and liquidity, proved substantially stronger following
recent settlements, with low risk of insolvency or of lack of
liquidity over the coming years. According to Moody's, a rating
confirmation would reflect substantial remaining risks relative to
capital at MBIA Corp., lower than anticipated putback and other
mortgage-related recoveries, or weak liquidity relative to claims
and other obligations.

National's rating could be raised if the insurer were able to
establish a more solid market position, marked by underwriting of
high quality risks at attractive prices. Meaningful improvements
at MBIA Corp., would also be a positive rating driver for
National, as well as for MBIA Corp., as those improvements would
reduce the contingent risk of a call on National's resources. In
addition, reduced single risk concentration, as well as improved
capital and financial flexibility could also improve National's
credit profile. National's rating could be lowered if the quality
of its large insured exposures meaningfully decreased or if
capital was withdrawn without an associated reduction of risk, or
if profitability reduced materially.

Treatment of Wrapped Transactions

Moody's ratings on securities that are guaranteed or "wrapped" by
a financial guarantor are generally maintained at a level equal to
the higher of the following: a) the rating of the guarantor (if
rated at the investment grade level); or b) the published
underlying rating (and for structured securities, the published or
unpublished underlying rating). Moody's approach to rating wrapped
transactions is outlined in Moody's methodology "Rating
Transactions Based on the Credit Substitution Approach: Letter of
Credit-backed, Insured and Guaranteed Debts" (March 2013).

As a result of the rating action, the Moody's-rated securities
that are guaranteed or "wrapped" by MBIA Corp., MBIA Mexico, and
MBIA UK are placed on review for upgrade, except those with higher
published underlying ratings (and for structured finance
securities, except those with higher published or unpublished
underlying ratings).

National Public Finance Guarantee Corp. and MBIA Insurance Corp.
are financial guaranty insurance companies based in New York
State. MBIA UK Insurance Limited and MBIA Mexico S.A de C.V. are
financial guaranty reinsurance companies based in UK and Mexico
respectively. They are wholly owned by MBIA Inc. [NYSE: MBI], the
ultimate holding company. As of September 30, 2013, MBIA Inc. had
consolidated gross par outstanding of approximately $375.3
billion, qualified statutory capital of $4.4 billion, and total
claims paying resources of $9.0 billion.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Moody's Rating
Methodology for the Financial Guaranty Insurance Industry
published in September 2006.

METRO AFFILIATES: Panel Seeks to Amend Terms of PwC Engagement
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Metro Affiliates,
Inc. et al. filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for an
order authorizing the panel to amend the terms of its engagement
with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, its financial advisors in the
Debtors' chapter 11 cases.

The Committee said the terms of PwC's retention should be amended
to reflect that the Monthly Fee Cap will not apply to the work
performed by PwC for the so-called Waiver Period.  The Monthly Fee
Cap will apply to the work performed by PwC on and after Jan. 1,
2014, through the completion of these chapter 11 cases.

The terms of PwC's compensation, including the amount of the
Monthly Fee Cap, were based upon the expectation that the Debtors'
bankruptcy cases would require roughly the same level of activity
from PwC each month, with only some peaks and valleys along the
way.

Yet, the pace of the chapter 11 cases has been unusually front-
loaded.  The Committee requests authority from the Court to modify
PwC's compensation terms in order to fairly compensate PwC for the
work it performed during those unusually busy months.

As is reflected in the "First Monthly Fee Statement of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Financial Advisors to the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Compensation for Services
Rendered and Reimbursement of Expenses Incurred During the Period
From November 13, 2013 Through December 31, 2103," filed on Jan.
21, 2014, the firm was actively involved in all aspects of the
Debtors' sale efforts, participated in the marathon auction for
the sale of the Debtors' assets and attended the subsequent
lengthy sale hearings, which occurred over four days.

In addition, the Committee has relied heavily upon PwC's insight
and recommendations during the busy months as the Debtors sought
to effectuate a plethora of sales transactions.  As a result of
the heightened activity level in these cases during the Waiver
Period, PwC's hourly fees aggregated $187,923.50 and involved
397.50 man-hours of work.  This amount, which exceeds the Monthly
Fee Cap by nearly $80,000.00, reflects the extent of PwC's efforts
during the early stages of these cases.

PwC, in recognition of the constraints of these chapter 11 cases,
is voluntarily reducing its fees for the Waiver Period by 18%, or
$32,733.50, thereby lowering the amount of fees it seeks in the
First Fee Statement to $155,190.  Even with this voluntary
reduction, the fees sought in the First Fee Statement exceed the
Monthly Fee Cap by over $55,000.  Were PwC to not be granted a
waiver of the Monthly Fee Cap for the Waiver Period, it would be
forced to take a total reduction of 47% (or approximately $88,000)
from its customary rates.

PwC has evaluated its billing projections for January 2014 and
subsequent months, and believes that for the remainder of these
chapter 11 cases, its fees will fall within the Monthly Fee Cap.
Accordingly, the Committee seeks a waiver of the Monthly Fee Cap
only for the Waiver Period.  The Committee believes that PwC
should not be harmed by the exigencies of these chapter 11 cases,
particularly in light of the already substantial discount it has
voluntarily applied to its fees reflected in the First Fee
Statement.

The Committee said it does not seek to change the procedures by
which PwC will seek allowance and payment of its fees and
expenses.  PwC will be compensated only in accordance with the
procedures set forth in sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Retention Order and such
procedures as may be fixed by Court order, including the Order
Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement
of Expenses for Professionals.  Rather, the Motion requests
authority to amend the terms of PwC's retention so that PwC will
have the opportunity to request the full payment of its fees and

2003.  The first bankruptcy was in 1994.


METRO AFFILIATES: Proposes $605,000 Bonuses for Two Top Officers
----------------------------------------------------------------
Metro Affiliates, Inc., et al., propose to a key employee
incentive plan that will pay bonuses of up to $605,000 to their
president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer.

The KEIP provides that payments will be made to Messrs. Carpenter
and Schlenker at month-end for three months, beginning on February
28, 2014, provided each is still employed with the Debtors, to the
extent there are incremental gross proceeds after satisfaction of
the Wells Fargo DIP Facility, including $22.8 million in letters
of credit.  If the amount is not satisfied, there will be no
incremental gross proceeds.

Amounts to be earned under the KEIP range from $27,778 for David
J. Carpenter, as president and CEO, and $20,000 for Nathan W.
Schlenker, as CFO, after collecting $1 million in incremental
proceeds through the sale of almost 900 buses that remain unsold
after several transactions conducted during the bankruptcy
proceeding and the collection of accounts receivables, to $425,000
for Mr. Carpenter (after collecting $12 million in incremental
proceeds) and $180,000 for Mr. Schlenker (after collecting $9
million in incremental proceeds).

The KEIP, according to the Debtors' counsel, Lisa G. Beckerman,
Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in New York, is aimed
at incentivizing Messrs. Carpenter and Schlenker to use their
relationships, irreplaceable institutional knowledge and influence
to drive the expeditious collection of the Debtors' receivables
and monetization of the remaining assets for the benefit of the
Debtors' estates and creditors.

Ms. Beckerman tells the Court that the Debtors' management is
likely to be more successful in collecting outstanding receivables
and monetizing their remaining assets than a bankruptcy trustee or
a liquidator.

The Debtors' proposed bonuses will be presented for approval
before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York on Feb. 20, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. (ET).  The Bankruptcy Court
will also consider at the Feb. 20 hearing the objection raised by
William K. Harrington, as U.S. Trustee for Region 2.

In its objection, the U.S. Trustee complains that the KEIP Motion
does not contain adequate information to allow a determination as
to whether the KEIP is a true incentive plan that sets
"challenging standards" and "high hurdles" for the two insiders to
overcome and whether those insiders benefit from simply remaining
employed by the Debtors as their tasks are completed.
Specifically, the U.S. Trustee says the Debtors provide no
information on the current balance of the DIP Facility or the
estimated timing of its satisfaction.  This information is
necessary because the bonuses are triggered upon the payment of
two components of the DIP Facility, the U.S. Trustee asserts.

Moreover, the U.S. Trustee complains that the Debtors have also
not provided all parties-in-interest information regarding the
appraised value or the estimated liquidation value of the vehicles
or the face-value of or the estimated proceeds from the accounts
receivable.  Without this information, the Debtors cannot meet
their burden under Section 503(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and its
rigorous strictures on the payment of bonuses to insiders, the
U.S. Trustee argues.

The Court has authorized the Debtors to amend the Permanent
Financing Order in order to operate in accordance with an amended
and updated budget.  The Court, however, pointed out that,
notwithstanding the inclusion of the KEIP line item in the updated
budget, the Debtors are not authorized to pay those funds unless
and until the Court approves the KEIP.

The Debtors are also represented by Rachel Ehrlich Albanese, Esq.,
at AKIN GUMP STRAUSS HAUER & FELD LLP, in New York; and Scott L.
Alberino, Esq., at AKIN GUMP STRAUSS HAUER & FELD LLP, in

Attorney, Office of the United States Trustee, in New York.

METRO AFFILIATES: Returns Vehicles to Prepetition Lenders
---------------------------------------------------------
Metro Affiliates, Inc., et al., sought and obtained approval from
Judge Sean Lane of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York of stipulations returning collateral to
lienholders.

Specifically, the Debtors agreed to return to People's Capital &
Leasing Corp. the 51 school buses and to ABC Leasing two vehicles
that secured the financing the Lienholders each extended to the
Debtors prior to the Petition Date.

According to the Debtors, the vehicles were not selected to be
purchased by any bidder at the auction and they have determined
that the indebtedness under the Loan and secured by the Unsold
Collateral is equal to or greater than the orderly liquidation
value of the Unsold Collateral, so that there is little or no
equity value remaining in the Unsold Collateral for the estate.

MODULAR SPACE: Moody's Assigns 'B3' CFR & Rates $365MM Debt 'B3'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 corporate family rating
(CFR) to Modular Space Holdings, Inc. (ModSpace) and a B3 rating
to the $365 million senior secured second lien notes (Notes) of
its wholly owned subsidiary Modular Space Corporation. The outlook
for the ratings is stable.

Ratings Rationale

ModSpace's B2 CFR reflects the company's strong North American
market position in the sale and leasing of modular space
structures, storage containers, and ancillary services. The B2
rating also incorporates a number of rating constraints, including
the inherent cyclicality of ModSpace's business which has
pressured profitability in recent years, the firm's high leverage,
reliance on secured financing (which encumbers assets and limits
financial flexibility), and future debt maturity concentrations.

The Notes' B3 rating reflects the fact that they are structurally
junior to ModSpace's first lien asset-based lending revolving
credit facility, which comprises more than two thirds of the
company's debt structure by commitment amounts.

The outlook is stable, reflecting Moody's expectation that
ModSpace will generate acceptable earnings and profitability in
coming periods, taking into consideration expected moderate
economic growth.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company improves its leverage
(Debt/EBITDA), resulting from a sustained strengthening of
operating performance and return to profitability.

The ratings and/or rating outlook could come under downward
pressure if Moody's believe that leverage, interest coverage, and
profitability are likely to remain at weakened levels for an
extended period of time.

Based in Berwyn, PA, ModSpace is a leading North America-based
provider of modular buildings, storage, and services for temporary
and permanent space needs.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Finance Company
Global Rating Methodology published in March 2012.


MONTREAL MAINE: Wrongful Death Claimants' Counsel File Affidavit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel C. Cohn, on behalf of Murtha Cullina LLP; and George W.
Kurr, Jr., on behalf of Gross, Minsky & Mogul P.A., filed an
amended verified statement concerning the firms' representation of
the unofficial committee of wrongful death claimants as required
by pursuant to Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure.

The firms said the Wrongful Death Claimants hold unliquidated
wrongful death claims against the Debtor's estate arising from the
train explosion.  They said certain of the wrongful death
claimants or certain of the decedents' estates they represent, may
hold other types of claims against the Debtor's estate, like
business interruption and  property damage.  The wrongful death
claimants hold no other disclosable economic interest in relation
to the Debtor.

                       About Montreal Maine

Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd., the railway company that
operated the train that derailed and exploded in July 2013,
killing 47 people and destroying part of Lac-Megantic, Quebec,
sought bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Bangor,
Maine (Case No. 13-10670) on Aug. 7, 2013, with the aim of selling
its business.  Its Canadian counterpart, Montreal, Maine &
Atlantic Canada Co., meanwhile, filed for protection from
creditors in Superior Court of Quebec in Montreal.

Robert J. Keach, Esq., at Bernstein, Shur, Sawyer, and Nelson,
P.A., has been named as chapter 11 trustee.  His firm serves as
his chapter 11 bankruptcy counsel, led by Michael A. Fagone, Esq.
Development Specialists, Inc., serves as the Chapter 11 trustee's
financial advisor.  Gordian Group, LLC, serves as the Chapter 11
Trustee's investment banker.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Louis H. Kornreich has been assigned to the
U.S. case.  The Maine law firm of Verrill Dana served as counsel
to MM&A.  It now serves as counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee.

Justice Martin Castonguay oversees the case in Canada.

The Canadian Transportation Agency suspended the carrier's
operating certificate after the accident, due to insufficient
liability coverage.

The town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, has sought financial aid to
restore the gutted community and a civil complaint alleges a
failure to take steps to prevent a derailment.

In the Canadian case, Andrew Adessky at Richter Consulting has
been appointed CCAA monitor.  The CCAA Monitor is represented by
Sylvain Vauclair at Woods LLP.

MM&A Canada is represented by Patrice Benoit, Esq., at Gowling
LaFleur Henderson LLP.

The U.S. Trustee appointed a four-member official committee of
derailment victims.  The Official Committee is represented by:
Richard P. Olson, Esq., at Perkins Olson; and Luc A. Despins,
Esq., at Paul Hastings LLP.

There's also an unofficial committee of wrongful death claimants
consisting of representatives of the estates of the 46 victims.
This group is represented by George W. Kurr, Jr., Esq., at Gross,
Minsky & Mogul, P.A.; Daniel C. Cohn, Esq., at Murtha Cullina LLP;
Peter J. Flowers, Esq., at Meyers & Flowers, LLC; Jason C.
Webster, Esq., at The Webster Law Firm; and Mitchell A. Toups,
Esq., at Weller, Green Toups & Terrell LLP.

After the U.S. Trustee formed the Official Committee, the ad hoc
committee filed papers asking the U.S. Court to have the official
committee disbanded.  The ad hoc group said it represents 46
victims of the disaster.

On Jan. 23, 2014, the Debtors won authorization to sell
substantially all of their assets to Railroad Acquisition Holdings
LLC, an affiliate of New York-based Fortress Investment Group, for
$15.7 million.  The Bankruptcy Courts in the U.S. and Canada
approved the sale.

The Fortress unit is represented by Terence M. Hynes, Esq., and
Jeffrey C. Steen, Esq., at Sidley Austin LLP.

On Jan. 29, 2014, an ad hoc group of wrongful-death claimants
submitted a plan, which would give 75 percent of the $25 million
in available insurance to the families of those who died after an
unattended train derailed in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, in July.  The
other 25 percent would be earmarked for claimants seeking
compensation for property that was damaged when much of the town
burned.  Former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, a Democrat who
represented Maine in the U.S. Senate from 1980 to 1995 and who is
now chairman emeritus of law firm DLA Piper LLP, would administer
the plan and lead the effort to wrap up MM&A's Chapter 11
bankruptcy.


MONTREAL MAINE: Received Safety Warnings Before Crash
-----------------------------------------------------
Kim Mackrael, writing for The Globe and Mail, reported that the
company whose train derailed in Lac-Megantic, Que., received
multiple warnings about brake violations in the decade before the
devastating accident.

Transport Canada sent the notices to Montreal, Maine & Atlantic
Railway between 2004 and 2009, and again in 2011 and 2012, the
report said, citing documents obtained by Radio-Canada. One of the
violations occurred in the community of Nantes, which is the town
where the train that derailed in Lac-Megantic was parked before it
came loose from its brakes and began sliding down the tracks.

The runaway train careered down a slope and derailed in the centre
of the small Quebec town, causing a series of explosions that
killed 47 people, the report related.  The train had been hauling
crude oil from the Bakken region in North Dakota, which officials
have since confirmed was more volatile than traditional crude.

The Transport Canada warnings obtained by Radio-Canada address
section 112 of the Canadian Rail Operating Rules, which requires
that a "sufficient number" of hand brakes be applied to prevent a
train from moving, the report further related.  The rules do not
specify how many brakes a railway operator should use, and instead
say they should test the effectiveness of the brakes to make sure
the train will remain in place.

Asked about the violations during the Question Period in the
House, Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said the Conservative
government has "done a lot" to fund rail safety, the report added.
"I would like to again reiterate that if MMA is found to have
violated the rules and regulations of this country, it will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of our law," she said.

MORGANS HOTEL: Units Ink $450MM Financing with Citigroup & BofA
---------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidiaries of Morgans Hotel Group Co., on Feb. 6, 2014, entered
into a new mortgage financing with Citigroup Global Markets Realty
Corp. and Bank of America, N.A., as lenders, consisting of
nonrecourse mortgage and mezzanine loans in the aggregate
principal amount of $450 million, secured by mortgages encumbering
Delano South Beach and Hudson and pledges of equity interests in
certain subsidiaries of the Company, that was fully funded at
closing.

The Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan bears interest at a reserve
adjusted blended rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 565 basis points.  The
Company will maintain an interest rate cap for the amount of the
Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan that will cap the LIBOR rate on
the debt under the Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan at
approximately 1.75 percent through the initial maturity date.

The Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan matures on Feb. 9, 2016.  The
Company has three, one-year extension options that will permit the
Company to extend the maturity date of the Hudson/Delano 2014
Mortgage Loan to Feb. 9, 2019, if certain conditions are satisfied
at the respective extension dates, including delivery by the
borrowers of a business plan and budget for the extension term
reasonably satisfactory to the lenders and achievement by the
Company of a specified debt yield.  The second and third
extensions would also require the payment of an extension fee in
an amount equal to 0.25 percent of the then outstanding principal
amount under the Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan.  A minimum
unencumbered assets requirement may also be required if certain
other indebtedness becomes due during the extension term.  The
Company may prepay the Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan in an
amount necessary to achieve the specified debt yield.

The Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan may be prepaid at any time,
in whole or in part, subject to payment of a prepayment premium
for any prepayment prior to Aug. 9, 2015.  There is no prepayment
premium after Aug. 9, 2015.

The Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan is assumable under certain
conditions, and provides that either one of the encumbered hotels
may be sold, subject to prepayment of the Hudson/Delano 2014
Mortgage Loan at a specified release price and satisfaction of
certain other conditions.

The Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan contains restrictions on the
ability of the borrowers to incur additional debt or liens on
their assets and on the transfer of direct or indirect interests
in Hudson or Delano and the owners of Hudson and Delano and other
affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary
for multiple asset commercial mortgage-backed securities loans.
The Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan is nonrecourse to the
Company's subsidiaries that are the borrowers under the loan,
except pursuant to certain carveouts detailed therein.  In
addition, the Company has provided a customary environmental
indemnity and nonrecourse carveout guaranty under which it would
have liability with respect to the Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage
Loan if certain events occur with respect to the borrowers,
including voluntary bankruptcy filings, collusive involuntary
bankruptcy filings, changes to the Hudson capital lease without
prior written consent of the lender, violations of the
restrictions on transfers, incurrence of additional debt, or
encumbrances of the property of the borrowers.  The nonrecourse
carveout guaranty requires the Company to maintain minimum
unencumbered assets until the Company's outstanding convertible
notes and the promissory notes held by Messrs. Masi and Sasson are
repaid, extended, refinanced or replaced beyond the term of the
Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan.

Repayment of Outstanding Debt

The net proceeds from the Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan were
applied to (1) repay $180 million of outstanding mortgage debt
under the prior mortgage loan secured by Hudson, (2) repay $37
million of indebtedness under the Company's $100 million senior
secured revolving credit facility secured by Delano South Beach,
(3) provide cash collateral for reimbursement obligations with
respect to a $10 million letter of credit under the Delano Credit
Facility, and (4) fund reserves required under the Hudson/Delano
2014 Mortgage Loan, with the remainder available for general
corporate purposes and working capital, which may include the
repayment of other indebtedness.

The 2012 Hudson Mortgage Loan facility and the Delano Credit
Facility were terminated after repayment of the outstanding debt
thereunder.

Certain of the lenders, agents and other parties to the
Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan, and their affiliates, have in
the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment
banking, underwriting, lending, commercial banking and other
advisory services to the Company and its subsidiaries. Such
lenders, agents and other parties have received, and may in the
future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its
subsidiaries for those services.

Consulting Agreement with Jonathan Langer

On Feb. 9, 2014, the Company entered into a one-year Consulting
Agreement with Jonathan Langer, a member of the Company's Board of
Directors.  Based upon Mr. Langer's extensive experience both in
the financial sector and hospitality industry, the Company
believes that Mr. Langer is uniquely suited to provide financial
and strategic advisory services to the Company.  Under the terms
of the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Langer will provide services to
the Company in connection with various strategic and financial
opportunities.  Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, in
consideration of Mr. Langer's efforts in connection with the
Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage Loan, including negotiating with the
lenders and overseeing the transaction on the Company?s behalf,
Mr. Langer is entitled to a payment of $495,000 (or 0.11 percent
of the aggregate proceeds from the Hudson/Delano 2014 Mortgage
Loan).  Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Langer
may also be compensated for the successful negotiation of a
revised hotel management or new franchise agreement with one of
the Company's existing hotels in an amount equal to 2.0 percent of
the projected management, incentive and franchise fees to be
earned by the Company during the duration of the management or
franchise agreement, plus certain other potential fess not to
exceed $250,000.  Under the Consulting Agreement, the Company and
Mr. Langer may agree in the future to expand the scope of services
Mr. Langer is providing to the Company.

The Consulting Agreement was approved by the Audit Committee of
the Board pursuant to the Company's Related Persons Transaction
Policy and Procedures, with Mr. Langer recusing himself from the
vote.

As a result of the payments to be made to Mr. Langer under the
Consulting Agreement, Mr. Langer will no longer satisfy the
independence requirements under the rules of The NASDAQ Stock
Market and the SEC.  As such, Mr. Langer has stepped down as a
member of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance &
Nominating Committee.  The Board has appointed Andrea Olshan to
replace Mr. Langer on the Audit Committee.

No Compensation for Independent Directors

On Jan. 18, 2014, the Board voted to adjust the compensation
policies of the Board.  Retroactive to June 14, 2013, the current
independent directors of the Company will receive no compensation.
Additionally, to the extent compensation is awarded to the
independent directors in 2014, it is expected that it will be
either entirely or majority equity-based.  The changes are

MOTORCAR PARTS: Reports $1.1 Million Net Income in Dec. 31 Qtr.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Motorcar Parts of America, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
disclosing net income of $1.14 million on $65.56 million of net
sales for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2013, as compared with
net income of $935,000 on $50.65 million of net sales for the same
period during the prior year.

For the nine months ended Dec. 31, 2013, the Company reported net
income of $104.29 million on $181.98 million of net sales as

NATIONAL JEWISH: Fitch Lowers 2 Revenue Bond Series' Rating to BB+
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded to 'BB+' from 'BBB-' the rating on
the following revenue bonds issued by the Colorado Health
Facilities Authority on behalf of National Jewish Health (NJH):

-- $24,145,000 series 2012 fixed-rate bonds
-- $11,100,000 series 2005 variable-rate demand bonds

The series 2005 bonds are secured by a letter of credit (LOC: UMB
Bank, National Association).

The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Negative.

SECURITY

Pledge of gross revenues excluding restricted charitable donations
and grants.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

GROWING OPERATING LOSSES: The downgrade to 'BB+' reflects
persistent large operating losses in fiscal 2013, which weakened
further through the 2014 interim period. Operating margin was
negative 4.4% in fiscal 2013 and negative 9.6% through the six-
month interim period. Further rating movement is precluded at this
time given NJH's adequate liquidity position and coverage of debt
service as calculated under the Master Trust Indenture (MTI), and
the joint operating agreements (JOA) underway.

HIGHLY SPECIALIZED SERVICES: NJH is a national leader in the
treatment of respiratory and related diseases with a focus on
research and teaching. Over the last five years, NJH has
significantly expanded its clinical capabilities to provide more
comprehensive care to its patients with the majority of its
services currently provided in an outpatient setting.

ADEQUATE BALANCE SHEET: Liquidity and leverage indicators are
satisfactory at the 'BB+' rating. However, a sizable line of
credit is utilized for operating expenditures, diluting NJH's
overall balance sheet position.

JOA WITH EXEMPLA ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL: In September 2013, NJH
signed a letter of intent with Exempla St. Joseph Hospital (ESJH;
part of Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, revenue bonds rated
'AA-') to form a JOA to collaborate in providing inpatient and
outpatient services. Through a newly created not-for-profit
entity, the two hospitals will provide services at multiple
locations including NJH's campus and ESJH's new facility to be
named and opened in December 2014. Fitch believes this JOA is a
favorable opportunity for NJH to grow its clinical capacity with
minimal capital outlay.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

ADEQUATE MTI COVERAGE OF DEBT: The Stable Outlook is predicated
upon Fitch's expectation that NJH will continue producing
sufficient net income available for debt service as calculated
under the MTI. Inability to do so could lead to further negative
rating action.

SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF JOA: Fitch believes the JOA with ESJH will
provide growth opportunities in NJH's clinical business, and can
lead to increased revenue growth. Effective execution leading to
improved operating profitability could result in a return to the
investment-grade rating category.

CREDIT PROFILE

NJH is a national referral medical institute engaged in patient
care, medical research, and teaching, primarily in the areas of
respiratory, cardiac, allergic, and immunologic medicine. NJH only
has 46 licensed beds and the majority of its services are provided
on an outpatient basis. The medical staff currently provides
inpatient care at Denver area hospitals. Total revenue for fiscal
year ended June 30, 2013 was $197.7 million, approximately 80% of
which was generated by clinical and research activities.


Increasing Operating Losses

Operating profitability further weakened in fiscal 2013 with a
negative 4.4% operating margin compared to negative operating
margins of 4% in 2012 and 1.5% in 2011. Deterioration in
profitability accelerated through the six-month interim period
ended Dec. 31, 2013, with a negative operating margin of 9.6% as
compared to a negative 5.5% operating margin in the prior year
period.

Historically, NJH's highly profitable clinical operations, along
with philanthropic contributions, have offset substantial
operating losses incurred by the organization's research
activities. Losses from research activities exceeded $20 million
over the last several years. While management noted various
strategies are in place to bring annual losses below $20 million,
meaningful progress is not expected in the near term. In 2013,
clinical operations were negatively affected by a one-time write-
off of receivables resulting from changes in Medicare Molecular
Diagnostic reimbursements.

Management is projecting profitability to improve in fiscal 2014,
supported by enhanced clinical operations and philanthropic
contributions. However, due to heightened expenditures in
physician investments and timing of certain funds released from
restriction, net income was negative through the six-month interim
period and will likely remain weak through the end of fiscal 2014.

Philanthropy activity has been solid, with annual fundraising
levels of over $20 million. NJH is currently in the process of
completing its largest campaign yet, with the goal of raising $250
million that includes $150 million to fund outpatient facility
expansions and other clinical and research projects.

Joint Operating Agreement with Exempla St. Joseph Hospital

In September 2013, NJH and ESJH signed a letter of intent to form
a JOA to partner in providing inpatient and outpatient care. The
JOA will be co-governed and named to reflect both the NJH and ESJH
brands. ESJH is in the process of constructing a new facility,
which is expected to be occupied by both NJH and ESJH.

Fitch believes this opportunity should yield clinical and
financial advantages to NJH, as the organization had initially
planned to build an inpatient tower to expand inpatient
capabilities. This JOA will provide the physical capacity needed
for NJH. Additionally, NJH should be able to capitalize on revenue
growth opportunities by having access to a larger network and
develop a continuum of care. Research should benefit as well
through increased access to patients and clinical trials.

NJH management indicated the transaction is currently undergoing
due diligence review, with the goal of signing a definitive
agreement in the first quarter of calendar year 2014. NJH is
expected to continue operating outpatient and some inpatient
programs on its existing campus and begin admitting patients at
the new facility in December 2014. Financial reporting should
remain relatively similar to prior years, as assets and
liabilities will remain separate.

10-Year Strategic Plan

NJH is continuing its strategic plan begun in 2007, which focuses
on clinical and research capabilities as well as philanthropy. NJH
has increased the depth and breadth of services offered over the
last several years, and the JOA with ESJH is consistent in
executing existing goals.

In addition, NJH is partnering with Icahn School of Medicine (SOM;
part of Mount Sinai Hospital, revenue bonds rated 'A', Stable
Outlook) to create a respiratory institute in New York City. This
venture is NJH's first major project outside of Colorado, and will
be located on the SOM campus. Fitch believes this partnership
should enhance NJH presence and brand as well as revenues and
fundraising.

Adequate Liquidity

As of Dec. 31, 2013, unrestricted cash and investments totaled
$52.1 million including available earnings from the Permanent
Endowment, which is fully accessible to NJH with board approval.
Liquidity metrics equating to 100.1 days cash on hand, 9.4x
cushion ratio, and 85.4% cash-to-debt are sound for the rating
category, and provide some cushion as NJH executes strategic
plans.

Weak Debt Metrics

Total outstanding debt as of Dec. 31, 2013 was $61 million, which
included $49.2 million in bonds and capital leases and $11.8
million drawn on an operating line of credit. Fitch is treating
the line of credit as long-term debt based on NJH's intentions to
leave it outstanding for the foreseeable future. The bonds and
capital leases are 77% fixed rate and 23% floating rate. The $11.1
million series 2005 variable-rate demand bonds are supported by an
LOC from UMB bank that renews automatically (current expiration
date is March 1, 2015).

Fitch used a maximum annual debt service (MADS) of $5.6 million
occurring in 2015. There is a $6.3 million bullet maturity due in
2017 related to the 2011 Gove School Property Note, which Fitch
excluded for MADS purposes due to management's stated goals to pay
off the note with fundraising and NJH's history of success with
philanthropy. MADS comprised $3.5 million for bonded debt,
$980,000 for capital leases, $780,000 for the 2011 note, and
$325,000 in interest payments estimated for the line of credit.
MADS drops to $4 million in 2018. Coverage of MADS by EBITDA was
weak at 1.4x in fiscal 2013, and deteriorated significantly to
negative 0.3x in the six-month interim period (based on
unrestricted funds).

While debt service coverage metrics calculated per Fitch's
definition are concerning, the MTI allows for inclusion of certain
displacements of restricted funds in net income available. In
addition, coverage is tested only on bonded debt. MADS coverage
calculated under the MTI using a MADS of $3.2 million was 6.4x in
2013 and 3.1x in 2012. MTI calculations are performed and
disclosed only on an annual basis, but using the same methodology,
management estimated MADS coverage of 2.4x through the six-month
interim period.

Modest Capital Needs

Routine capital expenditures are around $3 million-$4 million
annually, and budgeted at $4 million in fiscal 2014. Capital plans
have been scaled back due to the JOA and planned outpatient
facility expansion is contingent upon success of the capital
campaign. Other capital plans will be evaluated after the initial
implementation process of the JOA.

DISCLOSURE

NJH covenants to disclose audited financial statements within 150
days of the end of the fiscal year. Quarterly unaudited financial
information is disclosed within 45 days of the close of the first
three quarters of the fiscal year and within 90 days of the close
of the fourth quarter. Financial statements are posted to the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's EMMA system.


NINE WEST: Moody's Assigns 'B2' CFR & Rates $470MM Loan 'Ba3'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned B2 Corporate Family and B2-PD
Probability of Default ratings to Nine West Holdings, Inc. ("Nine
West", initially Jasper Merger Sub Inc.) and assigned a Ba3 rating
to the company's proposed $470 million secured term loan. The
rating outlook is stable. Moody's also assigned a SGL-2
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating. The ratings assigned are
subject to receipt and review of final loan documentation and
closing of the acquisition of The Jones Group Inc. on
substantially the current terms. Upon consummation of the
transaction, Jasper Merger Sub, Inc. will be merged with and into
The Jones Group, Inc. ("Jones") with Jones being the surviving
entity, and will be renamed Nine West Holdings, Inc.

In December, 2013 Jones entered into a definitive agreement to be
acquired by Sycamore Partners for approximately $2.2 billion,
including Jones' existing debt. Concurrently with the acquisition,
it is intended that certain of Jones' existing businesses --
primarily Jones Apparel, Stuart Weitzman and Kurt Geiger -- will
be transferred to Sycamore affiliates. Proceeds from the new $470
million senior secured term loan, a modest drawing under the
company's $250 million asset based revolver, an equity
contribution from Sycamore Partners and cash proceeds from the
carve-out transactions will be used to fund the cash costs of the
acquisitions, including the redemption of Jones outstanding $250
million notes due 2014.

Moody's notes that Jones' existing unsecured notes due 2019 have a
change of control provision, and these bondholders may elect to
put their bonds to the company upon the change of control. At the
current time, Moody's presume the substantial majority of the 2019
notes will remain in place. However under certain circumstances,
if a meaningful amount of 2019 noteholders elect to put their
bonds upon a change of control, Nine West is expected to offer new
senior unsecured notes (or drawings under a committed unsecured
bridge loan) in an amount necessary to substantially fund the
redemption of the 2019 notes. It is expected that Jones existing
senior unsecured notes due 2034, which do not have a change of
control provision, will remain outstanding as obligations of Nine
West.

The new secured term loan, and any new unsecured debt offering
that may result from a tender of the 2019 notes, will benefit from
upstream guarantees of the operating subsidiaries of Nine West,
while the existing Jones unsecured notes will not benefit from any
upstream guarantees. At the current time, Jones' Ba3 Corporate
Family Rating and the B1 ratings assigned to Jones outstanding
senior unsecured bonds remain under review for downgrade.
Presuming the transaction proceeds on the terms and conditions
contemplated, Moody's anticipate that in view of the B2 Corporate
Family Rating assigned to Nine West, and the structural
subordination of Jones existing debt to the new debt raised by
Nine West Holdings, the rating assigned to the existing 2034 notes
and, to the extent they remain outstanding, the 2019 notes would
likely be lowered from B1 to Caa1.

The following ratings were assigned:

Nine West Holdings (initially, Jasper Merger Sub, Inc.)

-- Corporate Family Rating at B2

-- Probability of Default Rating at B2-PD

-- $470 million senior secured term loan due 2019 at Ba3
    (LGD 3,31%)

-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2

Ratings Rationale

Nine West Holdings' B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Moody's
expectations that the company's rent-adjusted leverage will
approach the high five times range within 12-18 months from
closing of the transaction. Deleveraging will occur primarily
through the achievement of cost savings including the closing of
unprofitable stores -- primarily full price stores operating under
the "Nine West" and "Easy Spirit" brands. Cost savings are also
expected to come from the closing of smaller and unprofitable
brands and cost savings, such as those it will no longer incur as
a private company. The ratings reflect that Nine West has a
meaningful concentration in the mass/mid tier and department store
channels, though it has a broad range of products and brands
within these channels and benefits from its meaningful scale. The
ratings also reflect Nine West's good liquidity profile as Moody's
expect the company to maintain positive free cash flow, albeit
with some seasonality, and access to a $250 million asset based
revolver which Moody's expects will be modestly used and will
primarily support seasonal working capital needs.

The Ba3 rating assigned to the proposed term loan reflects its
second lien position on the company's accounts receivable and
inventory (the $250 million asset based revolver will have a first
lien on these assets), the first lien on other assets, and the
meaningful level of junior capital support provided by the $250
million unsecured Jones Group notes due 2034 and additional junior
capital provided by the 2019 notes (if they remain outstanding) or
other unsecured debt (to the extent the company needs to redeem
any of its 2019 notes).

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectations that cost
saving measures identified, notably the continued closing of
unprofitable store locations, wind down of unprofitable brands,
and elimination of public company costs, should enable the company
to improve operating margins over the next 12-18 months. As a
result, Moody's expect debt/EBITDA should approach the high five
times range over this period.

Ratings could be upgraded if the company is successful in
improving operating margins over time, evidencing that cost
savings are being realized, while also demonstrating stable to
modestly positive revenue growth, indicating market share is being
maintained. Quantitatively ratings could be upgraded if the
company sustained debt/EBITDA below 5 times and interest coverage
approached 2.5 times while maintaining a good liquidity profile.

Ratings could be downgraded if operating margins did not improve,
which would evidence that either cost savings were not being
achieved or the company's brand position weakened. Ratings could
also be downgraded if the company's financial policies were to
become more aggressive. Quantitatively ratings could be downgraded
if Moody's expected debt/EBITDA to be sustained above 6 times for
an extended period or if the company's good liquidity profile were
to erode.

Headquartered in New York, NY, Nine West Holdings expected to be
the surviving corporation upon the conclusion of the acquisition
of The Jones Group, Inc. by affiliates of Sycamore Partners. Upon
conclusion of the transfer of certain existing brands to
affiliates of Sycamore Partners, Nine West is expected to have
pro-forma revenue in excess of $2 billion. Its most significant
brands would include Nine West, Gloria Vanderbilt, L.e.i, and Easy
Spirit.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Apparel Companies published in May 2013. Other methodologies used
include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

NORTHERN INYO: S&P Lowers Rating on 2 Rev Bond Series to 'BB+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term rating to
'BB+' from 'BBB-' on the Northern Inyo County Local Hospital
District, Calif.'s series 2010 and series 2013 revenue bonds.  The
outlook is stable.

"The rating action reflects our view of the district's low
unrestricted reserves, which have consistently been lower than the
district's projected levels in each of the past few fiscal years,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Kenneth Gacka.  In S&P's
view, the persistently lower-than-anticipated unrestricted
reserves in recent years contribute to S&P's assessment that the
district's overall financial profile is more consistent with a
speculative-grade rating.  S&P understands that the district
expects to receive a cost report settlement in the near term,
which would strengthen unrestricted reserves by approximately
$5.5 million (to an estimated 100 days' cash on hand).  S&P views
this favorably and expect that this will result in improved
metrics before the end of the current fiscal year.

The rating also reflects S&P's continued view of the district's
history of strong margins and its solid business position.  In
S&P's opinion, certain aspects of the district's credit profile
are good and consistent with recent years; however, S&P believes
that an improvement in unrestricted reserves to a level consistent
with a higher rating that is sustained over time would be needed
to return to a higher rating.


NOVA CHEMICALS: S&P Alters Outlook to Positive & Affirms 'BB+' CCR
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its outlook on
NOVA Chemicals Corp. to positive from stable.  At the same time,
Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB+' long-term corporate credit
rating on NOVA and its 'BB+' issue-level rating on the company's
unsecured debt.  The recovery rating on the debt is unchanged at
'3', indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery
in the event of default.

"The outlook revision reflects our expectation that the upcoming
completion of NOVA's Corunna feedstock conversion project and
Joffre feedstock diversification program will dampen volatility in
earnings and cash flow," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
David Fisher.  "In addition, these projects set the stage for
structurally higher earnings in future years," Mr. Fisher added.

This could lead S&P to reassess NOVA's financial risk profile in a
positive manner within the year, possibly resulting in an upgrade.

NOVA is a midsize producer of petrochemical products, most notably
ethylene, polyethylene, and related derivatives.  For the 12
months ended Sept. 30, 2013, NOVA reported revenue and Standard &
Poor's adjusted EBITDA of US$5.1 billion and US$1.2 billion,
respectively.

S&P views NOVA's business risk profile as "fair," based primarily
on its highly volatile earnings profile.  The company operates in
the commodity chemicals sector, which S&P considers to be highly
cyclical, competitive, and prone to price volatility -- all of
which have led to large swings in NOVA's profitability.

The positive outlook on NOVA reflects the potential for lower cash
flow and profit variability after the company completes its
operational-improvement projects, which S&P expects will occur
within the year.  This could lead to an improvement in the
company's financial risk profile and hence trigger an upgrade.

An upgrade would be contingent on the completion and successful
ramp-up of the Corunna and Joffre feedstock projects, which would
increase S&P's confidence that the company will benefit from lower
volatility in its financial results.  In addition, an upgrade
would require that NOVA and International Petroleum Investment Co.
to continue to pursue financial policies generally consistent with
S&P's base case scenario.  S&P would expect the company to be
committed to maintaining adjusted debt to EBITDA below 1.5x under
current market conditions, while preserving large cash balances
and liquidity reserves.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if unanticipated challenges
emerge with the Corunna or Joffre projects that render them less
effective at dampening volatility than expected.  S&P could also
revise the outlook to stable if it detects a shift in financial
policies such that shareholder returns are more aggressive than
expected in S&P's base case or if the company pursues large debt-
funded acquisitions.


OPTIM ENERGY: Meeting to Form Creditors' Panel on Feb. 25
---------------------------------------------------------
Roberta A. DeAngelis, United States Trustee for Region 3, will
hold an organizational meeting on February 25, 2014, at 10:00 a.m.
in the bankruptcy case of Optim Energy, LLC, et al.  The meeting
will be held at:

         J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building
         844 King Street, Room 5209
         Wilmington, DE 19801

The sole purpose of the meeting will be to form a committee or
committees of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' case.

The organizational meeting is not the meeting of creditors
pursuant to Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code.  A representative
of the Debtor, however, may attend the Organizational Meeting, and
provide background information regarding the bankruptcy cases.

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section
1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States
Trustee appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as
practicable.  The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons,
willing to serve, that hold the seven largest unsecured claims
against the debtor of the kinds represented on the committee.
Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee
may consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its
business operations and participate in the formulation of a plan
of reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services
as are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it
represents.

                       About Optim Energy

Optim Energy, LLC, and its affiliates are power plant owners
principally engaged in the production of energy in Texas's
deregulated energy market.  Optim owns and operates three power
plants in eastern Texas: the Twin Oaks plant in Robertson County,
Texas, the Altura Cogen plant in Harris County, Texas and the
Cedar Bayou plant in Chambers County, Texas.  The Altura and Cear
Bayou plants are fueled by natural gas, and the third is coal-

Optim Energy and its affiliates sought Chapter 11 protection from
creditors (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 14-10262) on Feb. 12,
2014.

The Debtors have tapped Bracewell & Giuliani LLP and Morris,
Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP as attorneys; Protiviti Inc. as
restructuring advisors; and Prime Clerk LLC as claims agent.

The Debtors have $713 million of outstanding principal
indebtedness.


OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: Has Plan Support Agreement with Lenders
-------------------------------------------------------------
Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc., et al., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware to approve a plan support
agreement resulting from numerous negotiations with several key
creditor constituencies.

After discussions, and careful analysis and deliberation, the
Debtors determined that the proposal ultimately negotiated with
certain of the lenders under the Debtors' $1.5 billion credit
facility, dated as of February 9, 2006, represented the highest
and best value now available to the Debtors' creditors and equity
holders.

Among other things, that proposal contemplates a plan of
reorganization that will:

   * Infuse new equity of up to $150 million into the Debtors'
     capital structure;

   * Pay interest due under two series of the Debtors' outstanding
     bond issues, so as to cure any defaults and permit
     reinstatement of those bonds;

   * Pay all other creditors' allowed claims in full, in cash,
     with interest;

   * Provide a meaningful distribution to holders of existing
     equity interests and allowed subordinated claims;

   * Pay the amended claims of the Internal Revenue Service in
     full in cash on the Effective Date, in a manner consistent
     with the Company's understandings with the IRS; and

   * Ensure sufficient financing to repay the secured claims of
     the Export-Import Bank of China and retain the vessels
     subject to its security interest in the reorganized Debtors'
     fleet.

Pursuant to the PSA, the proposed Plan enjoys the support of the
Debtors and approximately 60% of the lenders under the Credit
Agreement.

All other creditors will be paid in full or reinstated, and,
therefore, unimpaired under the terms of the Plan.  The Plan
contemplates using cash on hand, $625 million of debt financing,
and, at the Debtors' sole option, up to $150 million to be raised
pursuant to a rights offering to fund distributions to be made
under the Plan.

The Debtors' counsel, James L. Bromley, Esq., at Cleary Gottlieb
Steen & Hamilton LLP, in New York, tells the Court that the PSA
does not bar the Debtors from receiving alternative plans proposed
by other parties and discussing and analyzing those alternative
plans received without breaching or terminating the PSA.  The PSA
will be terminated if, among other things, the Debtors fail to
file a plan of reorganization and accompanying disclosure
statement with the Court on or before March 7, 2014.  The PSA also
requires the Debtors to have the PSA approved on or before
April 11, the Disclosure Statement approved on or before May 16,
and the Plan confirmed on or before June 20.  Furthermore, the PSA
requires that the effective date of the Plan must occur on or
before Aug. 31.

The Debtors also seek permission from the Court to file the
unredacted version of the PSA under seal.  The Debtors explain
that the PSA requires the disclosure of the amount of claims,
interests, and securities that each consenting lenders hold.  The
individual holdings of each Consenting Lender are confidential,
commercially sensitive information that should not be disclosed
because disclosure would allow investors and competitors to
ascertain details related to specific investment strategies and
decisions of the Consenting Lenders, Mr. Bromley asserts.
Furthermore, disclosure of the sensitive commercial information
would likely dissuade the Consenting Lenders, or any other holder
of Claims, Interests, and Securities, from entering into a PSA
with the Debtors, Mr. Bromley adds.  Nor are the individual level
holdings of any Consenting Lender necessary or relevant to
creditors or the Court in evaluating the Approval Motion where the
aggregate holdings of the Consenting Lenders have been disclosed,
Mr. Bromley further asserts.

According to Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg
News, OSG dropped 22% in over-the-counter trading after the Feb.
12 announcement of its reorganization plan.  The company's
existing shares plunged more than $1.30 on Feb. 12 to about $4.70,
down from a post-bankruptcy high of $8.99 on Jan. 30. The stock
sold for about 55 cents on the day of bankruptcy.

The $300 million in 8.125 percent senior unsecured notes due 2018,
to be reinstated, traded at 11:29 a.m. on Feb. 12 for 115.25 cents
on the dollar, Mr. Rochelle said, citing Trace, the bond-price
reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
They were trading around par in November and sold for as little as
18.75 cents on the day of bankruptcy.

A hearing on the motion is scheduled for March 20, 2014, at 9:30
a.m.  Objections are due Feb. 26.

The Debtors are represented by Luke A. Barefoot, Esq., at Cleary
Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, in New York; and Derek C. Abbott,
Esq., Daniel B. Butz, Esq., and William M. Alleman, Jr., Esq., at
MORRIS, NICHOLS, ARSHT & TUNNELL LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware.


PLANDAI BIOTECHNOLOGY: Obtains $15.3-Mil. Funding Commitment
------------------------------------------------------------
Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., has entered into a stock purchase
agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, a Chicago-based
institutional investor, whereby Lincoln Park committed to invest,
at the Company's sole option, up to $15.3 million of equity
capital over the term of the purchase agreement including an
initial investment of $300,000.

Roger Duffield, chief executive officer of Plandai, commented on
the agreement, "This agreement with Lincoln Park gives Plandai the
flexibility to access capital over the next few years at
prevailing market prices and as the need arises.  As we enter into
production and commence sales in the coming months, it is
important to have a strong balance sheet and the ability to
continue our research in green tea, citrus and to brand our
cannabis extracts under the Diego Pellicer Gold label."

During the 30-month term of the stock purchase agreement the
Company, at its sole discretion, has the right to sell to Lincoln
Park up to an additional $15 million of its common stock, in
amounts as described in the agreement and subject to certain
conditions, which include the effectiveness of a registration
statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
covering the sale of the shares that may be issued to Lincoln
Park.  The Company controls the timing and amount of any future
investment and Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases, if and
when the Company decides, in accordance with the purchase
agreement.

There are no upper limits to the price Lincoln Park may pay to
purchase Plandai common stock and the purchase price of the shares
related to any future investments will be based on the prevailing
market prices of the Company's shares immediately preceding the
notice of sale to Lincoln Park.  Lincoln Park has agreed not to
cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect
short selling or hedging of the Company's shares of common stock.
The agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its
sole discretion, without any monetary cost.  The proceeds from
this investment will be used for research, product development,
marketing and general operating purposes.

                            About Plandai

Based in Seattle, Washington, Plandai Biotechnology, Inc., through
its recent acquisition of Global Energy Solutions, Ltd., and its
subsidiaries, focuses on the farming of whole fruits, vegetables
and live plant material and the production of proprietary
functional foods and botanical extracts for the health and
wellness industry.  Its principle holdings consist of land, farms
and infrastructure in South Africa.

Plandai incurred a net loss of $2.96 million on $359,143 of
revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared with a net
loss of $3.83 million on $74,452 of revenues during the prior
fiscal year.  The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013,
showed $8.89 million in total assets, $13.11 million in total
liabilities and a $4.22 million deficit allocated to the Company.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 4, 2014,  Terry L. Johnson, CPA,
replaced Patrick Rodgers, CPA, P.A., as the Company's independent
accountant.

Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company has incurred losses since
inception, has a negative working capital balance at June 30,
2013, and has a retained deficit, which raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.


PLAYA HOTELS: S&P Affirms 'B' Corp. Credit Rating; Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed the 'B' corporate
credit rating on parent guarantor Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V.  The
outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B-' issue-level rating (one
notch below the corporate credit rating) on Playa Resorts Holding
B.V.'s $350 million senior unsecured notes due 2020, following the
$50 million add-on.  The recovery rating on this debt is '5',
indicating S&P's expectation for modest (10% to 30%) recovery for
lenders.  The company plans to use proceeds from the proposed add-
on senior notes primarily to fund an expansion of its renovation
plans to develop 69 additional rooms at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in
Jamaica (for a total of 620 rooms upon reopening planned for late
2014), and to upgrade the energy infrastructure and other
amenities at the property.

The 'BB-' issue-level rating and '1' recovery rating on the
secured credit facility (consisting of a $25 million revolver due
2018 and a $375 million term loan due 2019) are unchanged.

The rating affirmation reflects S&P's expectation that EBITDA
coverage of cash interest expense will remain adequate--in the
high-1x area in 2014 and the low-2x area in 2015--and that Playa
is likely to maintain adequate liquidity to complete significant
renovations through 2015.  S&P's expectation for adequate
liquidity incorporates additional debt related to the add-on notes
to fund the Jamaican resort development expansion, and a
meaningful lowering of S&P's 2014 EBITDA forecast (compared with
our previous one).  The lowered EBITDA forecast results from the
temporary closure of the company's Dreams Cancun and Dreams Puerto
Vallarta properties for renovation in the second half of 2014, a
longer than anticipated renovation disruption at the Jamaican
property, and the potential for the 5% increase in the value-added
tax in Mexican border states implemented in January 2014 to
negatively impact Playa's cash flow.

S&P's rating on Playa reflects its assessment of the company's
financial risk as "highly leveraged," based on its expectation for
the ratio of total debt to EBITDA to be about 8x in 2014 and
improve to the low-6x area in 2015, partially offset by S&P's
expectation for EBITDA coverage of cash interest expense to be in
the high-1x area in 2014 and improve to the low-2x area in 2015.
Including an aggregate of $275 million of 10% pay-in-kind (PIK)
preferred equity that S&P treats as debt-like, total adjusted debt
to EBITDA would be in the mid-11x area in 2014 and in the low-9x
area in 2015, and EBITDA coverage of total interest and PIK
dividends would be in the low-1x area over the next two years.
Debt-like features of the preferred equity include a maturity date
one year after the senior unsecured notes mature in 2020 and a
high PIK rate for preferred dividends, which can motivate a
company to refinance preferred shares, often with debt.  However,
the Hyatt preferred equity terms also include Playa's right to
require Hyatt to redeem (or at Hyatt's election to convert to
common equity) up to $125 million of its $225 million preferred
share position with proceeds from a future IPO or other equity
raise.  In addition, there is a debt incurrence covenant in the
proposed bank facility that will restrict Playa's ability to
refinance a significant portion of the preferred equity with debt.
Also, S&P views the large Hyatt preferred investment in Playa as
supportive and the non-cash PIK dividend increases the company's
near-term financial flexibility.

"Our rating on Playa reflects our assessment of the company's
business risk as "weak," based on limited geographic and business
diversity compared with other global leisure companies, high
volatility over the lodging cycle, and travel-related event risk
in the company's Mexican and Caribbean resort markets.  We also
take into account the high levels of competition for leisure
discretionary spending as well as the integration, renovation, and
rebranding risks associated with the acquisition of the resorts
(three of which face significant renovations) and the launch of
two new Hyatt all-inclusive resort brands.  In addition, following
the acquisition of the eight all-inclusive resorts from Playa's
predecessor, Playa terminated two management contracts starting in
mid-2014 at resorts that AMResorts currently manages, and Playa
will begin to manage these resorts itself.  These risks are
partially offset by an experienced management team and a good
position in, and the increasing popularity of, the all-inclusive
resort vacation market.  Playa's portfolio of 13 all-inclusive
resorts also includes the four resorts and a management company
purchased in 2013 from BD Real Resorts, and the resort in
Jamaica," S&P noted.


RADIOSHACK CORP: Donald Smith & Co Stake at 10% as of Dec. 31
-------------------------------------------------------------
Donald Smith & Co., Inc., and its affiliates disclosed in a
regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
that as of Dec. 31, 2013, they beneficially owned 10,042,423
shares of common stock of RadioShack Corp. representing 10.03
percent of the shares outstanding.  A copy of the Schedule 13G is
available for free at http://is.gd/1s4tXP

                    About Radioshack Corporation

RadioShack (NYSE: RSH) -- -- http://www.radioshackcorporation.com
-- is a national retailer of innovative mobile technology products
and services, as well as products related to personal and home
technology and power supply needs.  RadioShack's retail network
includes more than 4,300 company-operated stores in the United
States, 270 company-operated stores in Mexico, and approximately
1,000 dealer and other outlets worldwide.

Radioshack disclosed a net loss of $139.4 million in 2012, as
compared with net income of $72.2 million in 2011.  The Company's
balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $1.60 billion in total
assets, $1.21 billion in total liabilities and $394 million in
total stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 26, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised the corporate credit rating on the Fort Worth,
Texas-based RadioShack Corp. to 'CCC+' from 'CCC'.  "The upgrade
reflects an improved liquidity position with a recent financing
that increased funded debt by $125 million and increased the
company's revolving credit borrowing capacity, which improved
the company's liquidity by approximately $200 million," said
credit analyst Charles Pinson-Rose.

In the Dec. 30, 2013, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed its 'CCC' Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) on
RadioShack Corporation.  The IDR reflects the significant decline
in RadioShack's profitability and cash flow, which has become
progressively more pronounced over the past two years.

As reported by the TCR on March 6, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded RadioShack Corporation's corporate family rating to
Caa1 from B3 and probability of default rating to Caa1-PD from B3-
PD.  RadioShack's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating reflects Moody's
opinion that the overall business strategy of the company to
reverse the decline in profitability has not gained any traction.


SABINE OIL: Moody's Changes Outlook on 'B3' CFR to Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed Sabine Oil & Gas LLC's rating
outlook to stable from negative. Moody's affirmed its B3 Corporate
Family Rating (CFR), its B3-PD Probability of Default Rating
(PDR), its Caa1 second lien term loan rating, and its Caa2
unsecured notes rating. Moody's also assigned a SGL-3 Speculative
Grade Liquidity Rating to Sabine.

"Sabine's 2013 operating performance has alleviated Moody's
concerns regarding tight liquidity and Sabine's ability to deliver
higher liquids volumes from acquired properties, which drove its
negative outlook," commented Andrew Brooks, Moody's Vice
President. "However, concerns regarding high debt levels relative
to production and cash flow persist."

Ratings affirmed:

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed B3-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B3

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility Apr 7, 2016, Affirmed Caa1,
58-LGD4

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture Feb 15, 2017, Affirmed
Caa2, 90-LGD6

Rating assigned:

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, assigned SGL-3

Outlook, Changed To Stable From Negative

Ratings Rationale

Sabine's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects its growing size and
scale, with production having reached approximately 31,000 barrels
of oil equivalent (Boe) per day in 2013's third quarter, up from
21,000 Boe per day in 2012's comparable quarter. The composition
of that production has also gained in value with liquids growing
to 31% of total third quarter volumes up from 14% in 2012's third
quarter, resulting in more than a five-times increase in oil
production revenues alone. Funding this production growth has
required additional borrowings under the company's revolving
credit facility, temporarily moderating the progression of
improved leverage metrics from 2012 to 2013 relative to proved
developed reserves, production and cash flow.

Sabine's SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating reflects Moody's
expectation of adequate liquidity through 2014. Moody's expect
Sabine to outspend operating cash flow in 2014, which should be
covered by availability under its secured borrowing base revolving
credit facility. At September 30, 2013, $388 million was
outstanding under the facility. The borrowing base was
redetermined upwards to $675 million in November, then reduced by
$55 million reflecting Sabine's December sale of its Cleveland
Sands asset; however, proceeds from the sale added a net $140
million of liquidity. The revolving credit facility is scheduled
to expire in April 2016; it contains two financial covenants -- a
current ratio and interest coverage -- both of which Sabine was in
compliance with at September 30.

Sabine, previously known as NFR Energy LLC, is a privately held
exploration and production (E&P) company whose operations are
focused in the Eagle Ford Shale, the Granite Wash, and the Cotton
Valley Sand and Haynesville Shale in East Texas. Sabine began
operations in 2007, originally funded by First Reserve Corporation
and by a subsidiary of Nabors Industries Ltd. Effective December
2012, First Reserve acquired 100% of Nabors's interest in Sabine's
parent holding company, making First Reserve the 99.6% owner of
Sabine. In December 2012, Sabine acquired TLP Energy LLC (TLP) for
$736 million, which added a liquids-rich reserve base in the
Granite Wash and Cleveland Sands plays, as well as certain Eagle
Ford assets. In December 2013, Sabine sold the Cleveland Sands
assets for $195 million.

While its December 2012 acquisitions added basin diversity and
furthered production gains, the cost of the acquisition together
with an outspend of cash flow increased the company's debt
leverage. At September 30, debt to average daily production and
proved developed reserves at $54,055 and $16.43 per Boe,
respectively, were relatively unchanged from2012's levels.
However, a continued progression of expected production gains
points towards debt on production improving to the mid-$40,000 per
Boe into 2014. Retained cash flow (RCF) to debt is weak at 13%,
but should improve as higher valued liquids production grows.

The stable rating outlook is based on expected growth in
production and proved reserves that builds on the growth Sabine
achieved in 2013, both organically and through its success in
executing on asset acquisitions, and on the successful management
of its liquidity position. This stable assessment is somewhat
tempered by the company's elevated leverage metrics. A rating
upgrade is possible presuming leverage on production approaches
$40,000 per Boe and if RCF to debt exceeds 20%, conditioned upon
the company maintaining solid liquidity. The ratings could be
downgraded if Sabine's capital productivity does not sustain the
production and cash flow growth necessary to reduce its leverage
metrics. RCF to debt dropping towards 10% could also result in a
downgrade.

Sabine's borrowing base revolving credit facility is secured on a
first-lien basis by substantially all of the company's assets. Its
$650 million senior secured second-lien term loan is secured by a
second-lien on the company's assets, while the $350 million senior
notes due 2017 are unsecured and guaranteed on senior unsecured
basis by Sabine's operating subsidiaries. The size of the first
and second lien secured claims relative to Sabine's outstanding
senior unsecured notes results in the second-lien term loan being
rated Caa1 and the senior unsecured notes rated Caa2, one notch
and two notches, respectively, beneath the B3 CFR under Moody's
Loss Given Default Methodology.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Independent Exploration and Production Industry published in
December 2011. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default
for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009.

Sabine Oil & Gas LLC is a privately owned E&P company
headquartered in Houston, Texas.


SALEM, NJ: Moody's Confirms 'B3' Rating on $15-Mil. GO Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has confirmed the Ba3 rating on $15
million of the City of Salem's (NJ) General Obligation bonds. The
outlook is stable. The bonds are secured by the city's General
Obligation, unlimited tax pledge.

The city's rating was placed under review with direction uncertain
on December 27, 2013, prompted by a lack of sufficient financial
information, which Moody's have subsequently received, for fiscal
2012.

Summary Rating Rationale

The confirmation of the Ba3 rating reflects the large and possibly
unaffordable guaranty the city pledged for debt issued to fund an
office project. The city has provided budgetary support to the
project in recent years. Debt service is expected to escalate
significantly beginning in 2027 and the size of the liability
relative to the city's budget poses risks of significant
bondholder loss in the future. The rating also encompasses the
city's limited financial position and very weak tax base and
demographic profile .

The stable outlook incorporates the steps the project has taken
toward covering its own debt service through renegotiated leases
and cost-cutting. Moody's  expect debt service on the city-
guaranteed debt to be paid from the project's operations for the
near term.

Strengths

-- Strides made toward self-sustainability of city-guaranteed
    project

-- Demonstrated city willingness to honor GO guaranty

Weaknesses

-- Long amortization schedule on city-guaranteed debt

-- Significant uncertainty of out-year lease payments to support
    debt service on city-guaranteed debt

-- Limited ability to honor GO guaranty in full

What Could Move the Rating UP:

-- Long-term prospects for city-guaranteed debt to become
    permanently self-sustaining

-- Demonstrated ability to meet GO guaranty if called in full

What Could Move the Rating DOWN:

-- Loss of tenant or increase in costs leading to call on city
    GO guaranty

-- Demonstration of a lack of willingness to meet GO guaranty if
    called

Rating Methodology

The principal methodology used in this rating was US Local
Government General Obligation Debt published in January 2014.

Kmart completed its merger with Sears on March 24, 2005.

The Company's balance sheet at Nov. 2, 2013, showed $20.20 billion
in total assets, $17.88 billion in total liabilities and $2.32
billion in total equity.

                           Junk Rating

Moody's Investors Service in January 2014 downgraded Sears
Holdings Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from B3.  The rating
outlook is stable.

The downgrade reflects the accelerating negative performance of
Sears' domestic business with comparable sales falling 7.4% for
the quarter to date ending January 6th, 2014 compared to the prior
year. The company now expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA to decline
to a range of ($80 million) to $20 million for the fourth fiscal
quarter, compared with $365 million in the year prior period. For
the full year, Sears expects domestic Adjusted EBITDA loss between
$(308) million and $(408) million, as compared to $557 million
last year. Moody's expects full year cash burn (after capital
spending, interest and pension funding) to be around $1.2 billion
in 2013 and we expect Sears' cash burn to remain well above $1
billion in 2014. "Operating performance for fiscal 2013 is
meaningfully weaker than our previous expectations, and we expect
negative trends in performance to persist into 2014" said Moody's
Vice President Scott Tuhy.  He added "While Sears noted improved
engagement metrics for its "Shop Your Way" Rewards program,
Moody's remains uncertain when these improved engagement metrics
will lead to stabilization of operating performance."


SRAM LLC: S&P Revises Outlook on 'BB-' CCR to Negative
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating outlook on SRAM LLC to negative from stable.

At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'BB-' corporate credit rating
and the 'BB-' issue-level rating on the company's senior secured
credit facilities (consisting of a $50 million senior secured
revolving credit facility due 2018 and a $715 million senior
secured term loan due 2020).  The recovery rating on this debt
remains '4', indicating S&P's expectation for average (30% to 50%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.

"The outlook revision to negative reflects our expectation for
operating performance and leverage measures in 2014 to be weaker
than previously forecast," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Stephen Pagano.  "This is primarily the result of anticipated flat
demand in 2014 for SRAM's components following poor weather
conditions that lowered sales of bicycles in the U.S. and Europe,
causing a buildup in inventory at retailers in 2013," added
Mr. Pagano.

Although S&P believes bicycle retailers have largely worked off
excess inventory, it expects some residual pressure on SRAM's
revenue and EBITDA this year.  Revenue declined 2% and EBITDA
declined 10%, and total lease adjusted debt to EBITDA increased to
5.1x in 2013, mostly as a result of lower demand from the
inventory buildup.


ST. FRANCIS' HOSPITAL: Health Quest Nets $1MM From Failed Deal
--------------------------------------------------------------
St. Francis' Hospital, Poughkpeepsie, New York, et al., on
Feb. 10, 2014, filed notice of their intention to cancel the
auction for the sale of substantiallly all of the Debtors' assets,
and to accept a higher and better bid from Westchester County
Health Care Corporation.

Health Quest Systems, Inc., which had served as stalking horse
bidder, has agreed to abide by the decision of the Debtors to
cancel the auction.

The Debtors and HQ have agreed to terminate the Asset Purchase
Agreement, dated as of Dec. 17, 2013 as amended, pursuant to the
terms of a stipulation.

In accordance with the APA and the Supplemental Order Authorizing
and Approving Sale Procedures in Connection with the Proposed Sale
of Substantially all of the Debtors' Assets and Granting Other
Related Relief:

     (i) upon the closing of the Alternative Transaction with
         WCHCC (or, if a closing of the Alternative Transaction
         with WCHCC shall fail to occur, upon the closing of any
         subsequent Alternative Transaction with any other party
         other than HQ), HQ will have an allowed administrative
         expense claim entitled to priority under Sections
         503(b)(1) and 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code for
         $1,000,000, representing the aggregate total amount of
         the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement that was
         approved by the Court; and

    (ii) upon such closing, the Debtors will pay to HQ by wire
         transfer of immediately available funds the $1,000,000,
         in full satisfaction and release of the Allowed
         Administrative Expense Claim and any claims HQ may have
         against the Debtors' estates in connection with the APA
         and the sale process, and HQ shall have no other claims
         or recourse against the Debtors' estates relating to the
         sale process or the APA.

The Debtor will appear before the Court today, Feb. 18, to seek
approval of the sale to WCHCC.

As reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors intended
to sell their 333-bed acute-care facility in a deal valued at
$24.2 million to HQ, absent higher and better offers.  According
to the Debtors' counsel, Christopher M. Desiderio, Esq., at Nixon
Peabody LLP, in New York, the terms of the WMC asset purchase
agreement are substantially and materially better than those
provided for in the stalking horse APA for all parties-in-
interest.  Under the WMC APA, Westchester will assume certain
liabilities, plus pay $3,500,000 in cash at closing to cover the
break-up fee of $1,000,000 and Administrative Costs of $2,500,000.
The WMC APA also provides for the exchange of bonds in the amount
of $27,352,000 at 5.00%.

Mr. Desiderio adds that the Stalking Horse could not provide any
bid which would be both higher and better than the WMC APA because
of substantial closing risks associated with a transaction with
the Stalking Horse.  Based upon conversations with both the
Federal Trade Commission and the New York State Office of the
Attorney General it is apparent to the Debtors and their
professionals that the Stalking Horse would neither never be
permitted to close a sale with the Debtors, or would face
significant difficulties in doing so, in light of the fact that
the Debtors received a bid for the assets from a party other than
the Stalking Horse, Mr. Desiderio says.  In light of these
obstacles, the Debtors determined that accepting the WMC APA as
the "highest and best" offer for the Purchased Assets absent an
auction was appropriate, and indeed necessary.  Further, the
prospect of holding a "sham" auction between two bidders would be
a tremendous waste of time and estate resources, Mr. Desiderio
adds.

The WMC APA also provides that WMC will loan or arrange for the
loan of funds to retire the DIP at closing, up to a limit of
$17,600,000, secured by the Accounts Receivable.  Any DIP
obligation in excess of $17,600,000 will be paid by the estate.
Moreover, WMC will provide a loan in the amount of $250,000 as a
"Final Payment" on Bonds to be used to initially capitalize the
liquidating trust of the Estate.

                    About St. Francis' Hospital

St. Francis' Hospital, Poughkeepsie, New York, and four affiliates
sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 13-37725) on Dec. 17, 2013.  The case is
assigned to Judge Cecelia G. Morris.

The Debtors are represented by Christopher M. Desiderio, Esq.,
Daniel W. Sklar, Esq., and Lee Harrington, Esq., at Nixon Peabody
LLP, in New York.  Their financial adviser is CohnReznick Advisory
Group; and the investment banker is Deloitte Corporate Finance
LLC.  BMC Group is the claims and notice agent.

The U.S. Trustee has appointed a five-member official committee of
unsecured creditors.  The Creditors' Committee tapped Alston &
Bird LLP as counsel, and CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory of New
York, LLC, as financial advisor.


ST. FRANCIS' HOSPITAL: To Have Patient Care Ombudsman
-----------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court denied the request of St. Francis'
Hospital, Poughkeepsie, New York et al., for an order waiving the
appointment of a patient care ombudsman.  The Court determined
that the Debtors did not met their burden to show that such an
appointment is unnecessary.

The Court directed William K. Harrington, the United States
Trustee for the Southern District of New York, to appoint a
patient care ombudsman in the Debtors' cases pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 333, provided however, that the appointment will not apply to
Saint Francis Health Care Foundation, Inc.

The Court further ordered that the Ombudsman will perform the
duties required of a patient care ombudsman, pursuant to sections
333(b) and (c), and may apply for reasonable compensation for
actual and necessary services rendered as well as reimbursement
for actual and necessary expenses incurred, pursuant to section
330, after application to the Court, notice and court order.

The Debtors had argued that a patient care ombudsman is not
required because the ombudsman would merely duplicate -- at a
substantial expense -- the internal quality management procedures
and internal and external oversight already in place, and that in
view of what they expect to be a relatively fast tracked sale of
their assets to another hospital facility, any input from an
ombudsman would likely be rendered moot.

The U.S. Trustee, however, held that the fundamental purpose of
the appointment of a patient care ombudsman in a bankruptcy case
is to ensure that there is an independent and disinterested party
focused exclusively on monitoring the quality of patient care
provided to patients and protecting patient interests.  The fact
that the Debtors anticipate that the hospital facilities will be
sold in a relatively short period of time does not obviate the
need for the appointment of an independent and disinterested party
to monitor patient care and report to the Court regarding the
quality of the patient care.  Moreover, in contrast to the
Debtors' management who must now concentrate on the sale process
and all the other administrative duties that must be performed by
a debtor-in-possession, an ombudsman's focus will be solely on
representing the interests of the patients.

Further, contrary to the Debtors' assertion, a patient care
ombudsman will not duplicate the internal and external patient
care controls already utilized by the Debtors.  A patient care
ombudsman will monitor the quality of patient care provided to
patients, to the extent necessary under the circumstances,
including interviewing patients and physicians.  Significantly, no
other entity is tasked with reporting to the Court at a hearing or
in writing -- not later than 60 days after being appointed -- the
quality of patient care provided to the Debtors' patients.

Should the ombudsman determine that the quality of patient care
provided to patients is declining significantly or is otherwise
materially compromised; no other party is specifically charged
under the Bankruptcy Code with filing a motion or written report
about such a situation.

Accordingly, because the Debtors have not met their burden of
proof to demonstrate that the appointment of a patient care
ombudsman is not necessary for the protection of patients, the
Court should deny the Motion and direct the U.S. Trustee to
appoint an Ombudsman, the U.S. Trustee said.

               U.S. Trustee Names Barry Liss as PCO

Mr. Harrington filed a motion seeking to employ Barry Liss of
Gibbons, P.C. as patient care ombudsman in the Debtors' case.

Barry Liss attests that he is a "disinterested person" as the term
is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Mr. Liss is required to provide these services:

(1) monitor the quality of patient care provided to patients of
    the debtor, to the extent necessary under the circumstances,
    including interviewing patients and physicians;

(2) not later than 60 days after the date of this appointment, and
    not less frequently than at 60- day intervals thereafter,
    report to the court after notice to the parties in interest,
    at a hearing or in writing, regarding the quality of patient
    care provided to patients of the debtor; and

(3) if such ombudsman determines that the quality of patient care
    provided to patients of the debtor is declining significantly
    or is otherwise being materially compromised, file with the
    court a motion or a written report, with notice to the parties
    in interest immediately upon making such determination.

Barry Liss' current hourly rate is $450.

STOCKTON, CA: Hearing on Debt-Adjustment Plan Moved to May 12
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports Stockton, California's debt-adjustment plan is set to go
before a judge for approval at a May 12 hearing under a revised
schedule laid down by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Sacramento. The
hearing had been set for March.

According to the report, the principal issue will be the different
treatment of creditors, a question U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Christopher M. Klein avoided addressing in June when he wrote an
opinion finding Stockton eligible for Chapter 9 municipal
bankruptcy.

Through mediation by another bankruptcy judge, the city hammered
out an agreement with all major creditors other than Franklin
Resources Inc.'s high-yield bond funds, the report related.  Even
if Franklin votes against the plan, there will be enough other
"yes" votes for the class to support plan approval, the city said.

Under the revised schedule, Franklin is due to file papers laying
out its opposition on Feb. 26, the report related.  Examinations
of witnesses under oath will be completed by March 14, with
examinations of experts finished by April 8.

If the city overcomes Franklin's opposition, municipal pensions
will be paid in full, while other creditors will get smaller
recoveries, the report said.  Stockton said its citizens support
the plan because they voted in favor of a sales-tax increase
included in the proposal.
Objections to confirmation must be served on these parties:

                           Modified Plan

Stockton filed its First Amended Plan for the Adjustment of Debts
on Nov. 15, 2013, and a Modified Disclosure Statement on Nov. 21.

Holders of general unsecured claims (Class 12), including retiree
health benefit claimants, will be paid a percentage of their
claims equal to the unsecured claim payout percentage (unless the
amount of the retiree health benefit claims changes, that
percentage will be equal to 0.93578% (i.e., $5,100,000 divided by
$545,000,000) or such other amount as is determined by the
Bankruptcy Court before confirmation of the Plan to constitute a
pro-rata payment on such other general unsecured claims.
According to the City, that is all it can afford to pay and still
maintain even a bare minimum level of City services.

Retirees who are receiving a CalPERS pension but no health
benefits from the City will not be affected by the Plan.  Retirees
who are receiving a CalPERS pension plus health benefits will have
their health benefits eliminated.

Current employees of the City have also agreed to forego health
benefits in retirement, which, along with changes in compensation,
results in the loss of their retirement "spike" and reduces their
post-employment benefits by 30% to 50%.  The loss of retiree
health benefits is a substantial concession of approximately
$1 billion that has already been agreed to without compensation
for this loss.  In addition, most current employees hired before
Jan. 1, 2013, have also agreed to a 7% to 30% reduction in
pensionable compensation, which will reduce their future CalPERS
pension from what it otherwise would have been.

A copy of the Modified Disclosure Statement is available at:

                      About Stockton, Calif.

The City of Stockton, California, filed a Chapter 9 petition
(Bankr. E.D. Cal. Case No. 12-32118) in Sacramento on June 28,
2012, becoming the largest city to seek creditor protection in
U.S. history.  The city was forced to file for bankruptcy after
talks with bondholders and labor unions failed.  Stockton
estimated more than $1 billion in assets and in excess of
$500 million in liabilities.

The city, with a population of about 300,000, identified the
California Public Employees Retirement System as the largest
unsecured creditor with a claim of $147.5 million for unfunded
pension costs.  In second place is Wells Fargo Bank NA as trustee
for $124.3 million in pension obligation bonds.  The list of
largest creditors includes $119.2 million owing on four other
series of bonds.

The city is being represented by Marc A. Levinson, Esq., and John
W. Killeen, Esq., at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.  The
petition was signed by Robert Deis, city manager.

Mr. Levinson also represented the city of Vallejo, Cal. in its
2008 bankruptcy.  Vallejo filed for protection under Chapter 9
(Bankr. E.D. Cal. Case No. 08-26813) on May 23, 2008, estimating
$500 million to $1 billion in assets and $100 million to $500
million in debts in its petition.  In August 2011, Vallejo was
given green light to exit the municipal reorganization.   The
Vallejo Chapter 9 plan restructures $50 million of publicly held
debt secured by leases on public buildings.  Although the Plan
doesn't affect pensions, it adjusts the claims and benefits of
current and former city employees.  Bankruptcy Judge Michael
McManus released Vallejo from bankruptcy on Nov. 1, 2011.

The bankruptcy judge on April 1, 2013, ruled that the city of
Stockton is eligible for municipal bankruptcy in Chapter 9.


SUNLAND INC: Peanut Butter Processing Plant to Be Sold March 5
--------------------------------------------------------------
The bankruptcy trustee in the Chapter 7 case of Sunland Inc. will
sell by auction the peanut butter processing plant in Portales,
New Mexico.  The sale includes property, plant and equipment,
inventory and 69+ acre land.  Bids are due 4:30 p.m. on March 5,
2014.

For available asset information, minimum qualifying bid and
complete bidding procedures, contact mwells@walkerlawpc.com

Portales, N.M.-based Sunland, Inc., on Oct. 8, 2013, initiated
proceedings under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Mexico.  The case
docket number is 13-13301-7.

Operations at Sunland's plant have ceased.  The Chapter 7 trustee
has taken possession of the company's property, plant and
equipment, and wind up the company's affairs.  All future decision
to operate, sell or otherwise liquidate the company's plant and
other assets will be made as part of the bankruptcy proceedings by
the Trustee, not by the company or its management.

The filing was precipitated by a series of difficult events over
the past year that negatively impacted the company's finances.
Sunland voluntarily recalled all of its products in October 2012,
a precautionary measure with enormous financial consequences.
Subsequent administrative actions by the Food and Drug
Administration and Sunland's own commitment to re-double its
efforts in the areas of food safety and quality control resulted
in the prolonged shutdown of the company's manufacturing facility
to allow for necessary renovations to its facility and the
implementation of new food safety procedures. In May 2013, Sunland
received authorization to resume full operations. Despite resuming
operations, ongoing financial and liquidity challenges made it
necessary for the company to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7
of the Bankruptcy Code.

Dan Flynn, writing for FoodSafetyNews.com, reported in December
that the membership-based warehouse club, Issaquah, WA-based
Costco, played a major role in Sunland's bankruptcy when it
unilaterally terminated the parties' deal.

Mr. Flynn said Sunland began planning as early as April 2012 for a
possible reorganization, which would have allowed it to continue
operations like airlines often do.

Mr. Flynn also reported that Costco sought possession of $20
million worth of peanuts currently in storage at Sunland, and
Sunland wanted Costco to pay it $4 million for previously
delivered shelled and bagged peanuts and for finished peanut
butter, also in storage.  A Dec. 23 hearing was set on the matter.

Logan Hawkes, writing for SouthWestFarmPress.com, meanwhile
reported in December that U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge David Thuma
cleared the way for the plant's door to reopen on a limited basis
to help clear some of the plant's assets.  Specifically, court
officials say the plant has been granted authority to reopen with
a limited crew in order to move product inventory to the company's
existing customers and to maintain plant equipment that was
purchased about a year before the plant was shut down after it was
linked to a nationwide salmonella outbreak.

Mr. Hawkes said Sunland Trustee Clarke Coll made the request to
the court arguing it was in the best interest of all parties
involved in the bankruptcy protection case.  The report said it
remains unclear how many workers might return to work, but
officials close to the case say the number of workers under terms
of the court action will probably be limited to a skeleton crew.

According to the judge's order, Sunland trustees are authorized to
operate the plant in a limited capacity but can not process
peanuts or peanut products. The court further granted a period not
to exceed one year for temporary operations.


SWA BASELINE: Seeks Authority to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
SWA Baseline, LLC, seeks authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Arizona to use cash collateral to meet
ordinary and necessary business expenses that will be incurred in
maintaining and preserving the 14.53-acre business campus located
at 708 West Baseline Road, in Mesa, Arizona.

Alliance Bank of Arizona, the Debtor's prepetition secured lender,
currently claims to be owed $16.6 million under the terms of the
Debtor's prepetition loan.

The Debtor believes that Alliance's interest in the Cash
Collateral will be adequately protected by the equity that exists
in the Debtor's assets, and by the ongoing funding of necessary
maintenance and security at the Campus.  The Debtor's counsel,
Steven N. Berger, Esq., at Engleman Berger, P.C., in Phoenix,
Arizona, says that based on a 2013 appraisal of the Campus
obtained by Alliance, there is equity in the Campus sufficient to
adequately protect Alliance?s interests.  Mr. Berger adds that the
value of the Campus is stable and improving.  The Debtor also
reasonably anticipates additional income of more than $320,000
during the first half of 2014.

A full-text copy of the Cash Collateral Motion with a proposed 90-
day budget is available at http://bankrupt.com/misc/SWAcashcol.pdf

SWA Baseline, LLC, a Single Asset Real Estate as defined in 11
U.S.C. Sec. 101(51B), filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition
(Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 14-01418) on Feb. 5, 2014.  Andrew J.
Briefer signed the petition as designated representative.  Patrick
A. Clisham, Esq., at Engelman Berger PC, in Phoenix, serves as the
Debtor's counsel.  The Hon. Brenda Moody Whinery oversees the
case.


SYNARC-BIOCORE HOLDINGS: Moody's Assigns B2 Corp. Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 Corporate Family Rating
and a B2-PD Probability of Default Rating to Synarc-BioCore
Holdings, LLC, ("BioCore") a newly formed entity that will be
formed by the merger of BioClinica, Inc. ("BioClinica") and CCBR-
SYNARC ("SYNARC"). Moody's assigned a B1 to the proposed $265
million first lien credit facility and a Caa1 to the proposed $100
million second lien term loan. The proceeds of the proposed loans
will be used to refinance existing debt of BioClinica and SYNARC
and pay a dividend to shareholders. This is the first time Moody's
has rated BioCore. The outlook is stable.

Ratings Assigned:

Corporate Family Rating, at B2

Probability of Default Rating, at B2-PD

$40 million revolving credit facility, B1 (LGD3, 33%)

$225 million first lien term loan, B1 (LGD3 33%)

$100 million second lien term loan, Caa1 (LGD5, 86%)

The outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The B2 rating is constrained by BioCore's small absolute size and
its significant revenue and backlog concentration within its top
customer. The B2 also reflects the high financial leverage being
assumed to extract a large dividend (about 50% of originally
invested equity), concurrent with integration risk arising from a
significant merger. BioCore's pro forma leverage of approximately
5.7x is highly prospective as it includes estimated synergies from
both the proposed merger between BioClinica and SYNARC as well as
BioClinica's acquisition of CoreLab in 2013. Absent assumed
synergies, pro forma leverage approximated 7.0x. Further, Moody's
expects that the company will continue to be acquisitive.

The ratings are supported by the company's leadership position in
the specialized niche of outsourced imaging services for clinical
trials. Moody's views this as a defensible business that lends
itself well to the outsourced model. While Moody's views BioCore's
other businesses, including Patient Recruitment and eClinical as
more competitive, they offer better potential growth prospects
than the imaging business, which is relatively mature. The ratings
are also supported by Moody's expectation of positive free cash
flow and good cash interest coverage, even after significant
growth capital expenditures (largely related to capitalized
software costs associated with the eClinical business).

Moody's could upgrade the ratings if BioCore gains increased
diversity by customer and grows revenue and EBITDA such that
adjusted leverage is expected to be sustained below 4.0x.

Moody's could downgrade the ratings if BioCore experiences
significant contract cancellations or other business headwinds, or
fails to achieve assumed synergies, such that adjusted leverage is
expected to be sustained above 6.0x or if there is any material
weakening of liquidity. Further acquisitions or dividends that
raise leverage could also lead to a downgrade.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Business & Consumer Service Industry Rating Methodology published
in October 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given
Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S.,
Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Synarc-BioCore Holdings, LLC is a leading provider of specialized
services to the pharmaceutical industry with a focus on clinical
imaging. The company also offers clients cardiovascular solutions
(such as electrocardiograms), patient recruitment and software and
technology products used to enhance clinical trial speed and
results. The company will be owned by private equity firms JLL
Partners and Water Street Healthcare Partners.


SYNARC-BIOCORE HOLDINGS: S&P Gives B- CCR & Rates $265MM Debt B-
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B-' corporate
credit rating to U.S.-based specialty clinical research
outsourcing service provider Synarc-BioCore Holdings LLC.  The
outlook is positive.

At the same time, S&P assigned the company's proposed $265 million
first-lien secured credit facilities its 'B-' issue-level rating
(the same as the corporate credit rating), with a recovery rating
of '3', indicating S&P's expectation for meaningful (50%-70%)
recovery for secured lenders in the event of a payment default.
The facility consists of a $40 million revolving credit facility
due 2019 (undrawn at closing) and a $225 million term loan due
2021.

Additionally, S&P assigned the company's proposed $100 million
second-lien secured credit facilities its 'CCC' issue-level rating
(two notches below the corporate credit rating), with a recovery
rating of '6', indicating S&P's expectation for negligible
(0%-10%) recovery for secured lenders in the event of a payment
default.

The company will use the proceeds to repay existing debt and to
pay a dividend to its shareholders, JLL Partners and Water Street
Healthcare Partners.

"The 'B-' corporate credit rating reflects Synarc-BioCore's "weak"
business risk profile and "highly leveraged" financial risk
profile," said credit analyst Tulip Lim.  "Our assessment of
Synarc-BioCore's business risk profile reflects the absence of any
history as a consolidated entity, integration risks, and the
company's narrow focus in the specialized clinical research
outsourcing services niche.  Our "highly leveraged" financial risk
profile reflects our expectation that leverage will remain above
5x over the next two years and that financial policy will remain
aggressive."

The outlook is positive based on S&P's belief that restructuring
charges will wind down and that the combined businesses can
achieve low-single-digit growth, anticipated synergies, and
positive cash flow generation.

Upside Scenario

S&P could raise the rating if Synarc-BioCore manages the
integration well and is on a trajectory to achieve its base-case
projections.  This could occur if the company's revenue grows at a
low-single-digit pace or more, if transaction and restructuring
charges do not exceed $7 million, and if the company makes headway
in reducing duplicative costs and other cost-savings as
anticipated in its plan.

Downside Scenario

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if integration challenges
arise leading to weaker-than-expected performance or erosion of
discretionary cash flow or liquidity.  This could occur if revenue
does not grow at a low-single-digit rate, restructuring charges
rise, or the company does not make progress in improving EBITDA
margins to 22%.

                     About Tamarack Resort

Tamarack Resort LLC, a golf and ski resort in Valley County,
Idaho, was sent to Chapter 7 after creditors submitted an
involuntary petition (Bankr. D. Idaho Case No. 09-03911).  The
petitioning creditors include an affiliate of Bank of America
Corp. owed $4.7 million.

On April 9, 2010, Bankruptcy Judge Terry Myers signed an order
converting Tamarack Resort LLC's involuntary chapter 7 case to a
chapter 11 reorganization.

The project's 27.5% owner, VPG Investments Inc., filed for Chapter
11 reorganization in 2008, only to have the petition dismissed in
October 2008 at the request of the secured creditor, Credit
Suisse, Caymans Islands Branch.  VPG was controlled by Mexican
businessman Alfredo Miguel Afif.  Credit Suisse, the agent for the
secured lenders, characterized VPG's Chapter 11 case as "a classic
example of a bad faith filing" made "solely as a litigation
tactic" to stop foreclosure.

In January 2011, Bankruptcy Judge Terry Myers dismissed Tamarack
Resort's Chapter 11 protection, sending it back to state court
where foreclosure proceedings would eventually proceed to a
sheriff's sale.


TRAVELPORT HOLDINGS: Inks New GDS Agreement with Orbitz Worldwide
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Travelport signed a new long term GDS agreement with leading
online travel agency, Orbitz Worldwide Inc.  Orbitz operates
numerous consumer travel brands including Orbitz.com,
Cheaptickets.com, ebookers and HotelClub.com, and also provides
managed on-line business travel to corporations through Orbitz For
Business solutions.  Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

"Travelport technology has been the leading provider of airline,
car rental and hotel fares, availability, booking and ticketing
services to Orbitz since its launch in 2001," said Kurt Ekert,
chief commercial officer, Travelport.  "Under this new agreement,
we have plans to work together to supplement this via an upgrade
to Travelport's latest API connectivity - Travelport Universal API
- enabling Orbitz to progressively access and display to its
customers the much wider range of travel content that Travelport
can now provide through its direct connections to a wide variety
of airlines.  The wider range of travel content will include
improved descriptive information on the airline products on offer,
airline fares families, ancillary products (such as paid seats and
other merchandising), as well as a much broader range of hotel
content."

"We have updated our agreement, which dates back to 2007, to meet
the changing needs of Orbitz in its distribution landscape to the
mutual benefit of both parties," Ekert adds.  "Orbitz has always
used a combination of GDSs and other connectivity options and
today's agreement continues this flexibility.  Orbitz will process
the majority of its GDS segments on Travelport for 2014 and we
expect to continue to be a significant GDS provider and technology
partner to Orbitz thereafter."

"Travelport has been an important partner for Orbitz and we are
pleased that they will continue to play a key role in our
technology and travel management needs through this multi-year
agreement.  As we work to keep our online sites the best places to
buy travel, we will use Travelport's new solutions for the
changing airline marketplace," said Chris Orton, Chief Operating
Officer, Orbitz Worldwide.

"Due to the increase in payments payable to Orbitz Worldwide under
the Subscriber Services Agreement in 2014, we expect a negative
impact on our 2014 cash flow attributable to this agreement, and
no impact to our 2014 Adjusted EBITDA," the Company said in
current report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.  "From 2015 onwards, the combination of increased
payments and greater flexibility for Orbitz Worldwide will have a
greater impact on both our earnings and cash flow.  We expect,
however, growth in other areas of our business to largely mitigate
such negative impact on our financial results," the Company added.

action follows S&P's review of Travelport's business and financial
risk profiles after it downgraded the group to 'SD' on April 16,
2013.


TRINITY COAL: US EPA to Have $4.5MM Allowed Unsecured Claim
-----------------------------------------------------------
Trinity Coal Corporation, et al., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Kentucky to approve a stipulation
among the United States of America, the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, Essar Minerals, Inc., and New Trinity Coal,
Inc., allowing the general unsecured claim of the United States on
behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

On June 6, 2012, the United States of America, acting through the
U.S. Department of Justice and at the direction of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, filed a complaint against Frasure
Creek Mining, LLC, Essar, Trinity Coal Corporation, Trinity Coal
Partners, LLC, Bear Fork Resources, LLC, Falcon Resources, LLC,
and Prater Branch Resources, LLC.  The complaint was amended on
Jan. 11, 2013, to add another defendant, Trinity Parent
Corporation.

The United States alleges that beginning in 2005 the defendants
violated and have continued to violate Section 301(a) of the Clean
Water Act by discharging dredged or fill material into waters of
the United States without the permits required by Section 404 of
the CWA to authorize such discharges.  The United States seeks
injunctive relief against all defendants requiring them to cease
discharging dredged or fill material, to complete restoration of
the sites affected by the discharge, or pay for mitigation of the
environmental damage, and also seeks to impose civil penalties
against all defendants, which civil penalties range between a
maximum of $32,500 and $37,500 per day from 2005 to the present.

The salient terms of the stipulation are:

   1. in full settlement and discharge of the covered claims as
against the covered parties, inclusive of any civil penalties and
injunctive relief sought by the United States in the lawsuit, the
United States on behalf of EPA will receive (in addition to the
Agreed Payment) an allowed general unsecured claim against the
estates of the Debtors in the Chapter 11 cases in the amount of
$4,500,000, provided however, that the amount of distributions on
the Allowed Claim will be capped at $700,000 (the recovery amount)
and the United States on behalf of EPA will receive no
distribution in respect of the Allowed Claim in excess of the
recovery amount;

   2. the Allowed Claim will be a general unsecured claim and paid
in the same manner and amount as other general unsecured claims
under Class 6 of Debtors' Joint Plan of Reorganization that are
allowed in the Chapter 11 Cases against the Debtors.  The payments
will be made by FedWire Electronic Funds Transfer to the U.S. DOJ
account in accordance with current electronic funds transfer
procedures; and

   3. upon the Order approving the stipulation becoming a final
order and upon the entry of a consent decree to resolve the
lawsuit, the covered claims will be deemed to have been satisfied
and resolved, provided that if the Covered Parties fail to fully
comply with the terms of the consent decree and agreed order, the
United States retains all rights to enforce the terms of the
consent decree and agreed order.

Parties to the stipulation were represented by: (i) Laura Day
DelCotto, Esq., at Delcotto Law Group PLLC for New Trinity Coal,
Inc. and Essar Minerals, Inc.; (ii) Geoffrey S. Goodman, Esq., at
Foley & Lardner LLP for the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors; (iii) C.R. Bowles, Jr., Esq., at Bingham Greenebaum
Doll LLP, and Steven J. Reisman, Esq., at Curtis, Mallet-Prevost,

TXU CORP: 2014 Bank Debt Trades at 31% Off

UNIVITA HEALTH: Moody's Cuts CFR to Caa1 & Sec. Debt Rating to B3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Univita Health Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to Caa1 from B3 and Probability of
Default Rating (PDR) to Caa1-PD from B3-PD. Concurrently, Moody's
downgraded the rating on Univita's senior secured credit
facilities to B3 from B2. The rating outlook is stable.

The downgrade reflects Moody's expectation that Univita's credit
metrics will remain weak due to lower than anticipated operating
performance. Despite double-digit percentage revenue growth
largely driven by new contract wins within its Integrated Homecare
segment, Unitiva's 2013 EBITDA continued to fall versus the prior
year. As a result, the operating margin percentage declined
precipitously in 2013, following a significant drop in 2012.
Moody's believes the company will continue to face challenges in
its home health segment, including margin pressure from an
escalating utilization rate, slow ramp-up of new contracts that
typically carry lower margins and operational missteps. Also, the
company will likely face difficulties in meeting financial
covenants in the coming quarters due to lower than expected EBITDA
and scheduled tightening of the covenant levels.

The rating actions are as follows:

Rating downgraded:

Corporate Family Rating downgraded to Caa1 from B3

Probability of Default Rating to Caa1-PD from B3-PD

$20 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring
2016 to B3 (LGD3, 32%) from B2 (LGD 3, 34%)

$203 million senior secured term loan due 2017 to B3 (LGD3, 32%)
from B2 (LGD 3, 34%)

Ratings Rationale

The Caa1 CFR reflects Moody's expectation that the company will
continue to operate with high financial leverage, weak cash flow
and interest coverage. Further constraining the rating is
Unitiva's relatively small scale, geographic concentration and
high customer/product concentration -- all factors that make it
more vulnerable to margin pressure. The rating also incorporates
ongoing execution risks associated with company's growth strategy
and lingering reimbursement pressures facing many of its payors.
Moody's expects that the company's leverage will remain high at
above 6.0 times and interest coverage weak below 1.0x (EBITDA-
Capex/interest) in the near to medium term. Positive rating
consideration is given to Univita's good revenue visibility
associated with its Insurance Administration Services (around 28%
of its total revenues) and stable customer relationships in this
segment.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Univita's
EBITDA could stabilize and increase very modestly next year, as it
implements pricing initiatives to offset margin erosion from
utilization rate increase. The reduction of bad debt expense and
continued ramp-up of new contracts should also benefit financial
results. However, we believe that these improvements will take a
considerable amount of time to be realized and the positive impact
from pricing actions could be offset by a further increase in
utilization rates, resulting in only a modest improvement in
credit metrics. The stable outlook also considers the external
liquidity support provided by the sponsor, to backstop otherwise
insufficient liquidity generated from the company's operations. In
2013, the sponsor contributed $10 million to support the company's
liquidity.

The ratings could face downward pressure if Univita is unable to
stabilize margins or reverse its negative free cash flow. Any
deterioration in liquidity, such as a covenant breach could result
in a downgrade. A loss of significant contracts/customers could
also exert negative pressure on ratings. Quantitatively, the
rating could be downgraded if debt/EBITDA increases above 7.5
times or (EBITDA-Capex)/interest falls below 0.5x.

A stabilization of margins and an improvement in credit metrics
leading to sustained leverage below 6.0 times, EBITDA-
Capex/Interest approaching 1.0x and at least breakeven free cash
flow, could result in a positive rating action. An upgrade will
also require at a minimum adequate liquidity.

Headquartered in Eden Prairie, MN, Univita delivers care in the
home settings and operates in four strategic business units.
Univita is majority owned by financial sponsor Genstar Capital,
LLC and management.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Business & Consumer Service Industry Rating Methodology published
in October 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given
Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S.,
Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.


USEC INC: Dimensional Fund Stake Down to 4.9% as of Dec. 31
-----------------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13G filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Dimensional Fund Advisors LP disclosed that
as of Dec. 31, 2013, it beneficially owned 246,933 shares of
common stock of USEC Inc. representing 4.99 percent of the shares
outstanding.  Dimensional Fund previously reported beneficial
ownership of 7,633,804 common shares or 6.15 percent equity stake
as of Dec. 31, 2012.  A copy of the regulatory filing is available
for free at http://is.gd/Ypuwc2

                          About USEC Inc.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, USEC Inc. (NYSE: USU) --
http://www.usec.com/-- supplies enriched uranium fuel for
commercial nuclear power plants.

USEC disclosed a net loss of $1.20 billion in 2012 as compared
with a net loss of $491.1 million in 2011.  The Company's balance
sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed $1.70 billion in total assets,
$2.16 billion in total liabilities and a $462.1 million
stockholders' deficit.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in McLean, Virginia, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company has reported net losses and a stockholders'
deficit at Dec. 31, 2012, and is engaged with its advisors and
certain stakeholders on alternatives for a possible restructuring
of its balance sheet, which raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"A delisting of our common stock by the NYSE and the failure of
our common stock to be listed on another national exchange could
have significant adverse consequences.  A delisting would likely
have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would
impair stockholders' ability to sell or purchase our common stock.
As of September 30, 2013, we had $530 million of convertible notes
outstanding.  Under the terms of our convertible notes, a
"fundamental change" is triggered if our shares of common stock
are not listed for trading on any of the NYSE, the American Stock
Exchange (now NYSE-MKT), the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ
Global Select Market, and the holders of the notes can require
USEC to repurchase the notes at par for cash.  We have no
assurance that we would be eligible for listing on an alternate
exchange in light of our market capitalization, stockholders'
deficit and net losses.  Our receipt of a NYSE continued listing
standards notification described above did not trigger a
fundamental change.  In the event a fundamental change under the
convertible notes is triggered, we do not have adequate cash to
repurchase the notes.  A failure by us to offer to repurchase the
notes or to repurchase the notes after the occurrence of a
fundamental change is an event of default under the indenture
governing the notes.  Accordingly, the exercise of remedies by
holders of our convertible notes or the trustee of the notes as a
result of a delisting would have a material adverse effect on our
liquidity and financial condition and could require us to file for
bankruptcy protection," the Company said in its quarterly report
for the period ended Sept. 30, 2013.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 18, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
lowered USEC's Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to Ca from Caa1.  The
downgrade follows announcement that USEC has initiated a debt
restructuring plan and intends to file for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.


VICTOR TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Puts 'B' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed its ratings
on Victor Technologies Group Inc., including the 'B' corporate
credit rating, on CreditWatch with positive implications.

The CreditWatch placements follow the higher-rated Colfax Corp.'s
announcement that it plans to buy Victor from Irving Place Capital
(IPC) for $947 million.  If all of Victor's outstanding debt is
repaid as part of the transaction, S&P would withdraw the ratings.
However, if Colfax assumes the debt, the rating on the notes would
remain outstanding.  The transaction is subject to customary
closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and S&P
expects it to close in second-quarter 2014.

"We view Victor's business risk profile as 'weak,' based on its
participation in the highly competitive cutting and welding
industry, with some niche positions offsetting these industry
conditions," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst John Sico.  "We
assess the company's financial risk profile as 'highly leveraged,'
mainly due to the high debt level its financial sponsor owner IPC
has incurred."

S&P plans to resolve the CreditWatch following the close of the
transaction.


VIGGLE INC: Incurs $13.4 Million Net Loss in Q2 2014
----------------------------------------------------
Viggle Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss of
$13.40 million on $5.03 million of revenues for the three months
ended Dec. 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $12.43 million
on $3.87 million of revenues for the same period during the prior

WATERFRONT OFFICE: Hearing on Rival Plans Set for April 30
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut issued a
second amended pre-trial order in relation to the confirmation of
the competing Amended Chapter 11 Plans proposed by Waterfront
Office Building, LP, and Summer Office Building, LP, and creditor
Deutsche Genossenschafts-Hypothekenbank AG.  The second amended
pre-trial order provides for, among other things:

   1. all discovery will be completed and closed no later than
      March 31, 2014;

   2. parties will exchange pre-trial memorandums of law not to
      exceed 10 pages by March 21;

   3. pre-trial conference to settle the controversies or narrow
      the issues on April 7, at 2:30 p.m.; and

   4. trial date is set for April 30, at 10:00 a.m.

At the hearing, the Court will also consider the objection to
confirmation of the Plan filed by creditor Deutsche
Genossenschafts-Hypothekenbank AG.

                     The Competing Plans

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors' Plan
provides that DG Hyp will receive title to the property owned by
Summer, $3.5 million from the Debtors' reserves, and a promissory
note of $20 million.  Holders of general unsecured claims,
estimated to total $350,000, will receive a payment equal to 100%
their allowed claims plus a payment of 5% interest on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date.  DG-Hyp's general unsecured
claims estimated at $16.5 million -- which are separated from the
class of other general unsecured creditors -- will have a 3%
recovery and will be paid in four equal quarterly cash payments.
Holders of interests will be permitted to retain their interests
in exchange for a $5 million contribution.

The DG-Hyp Plan proposes to pay all creditors in full on or around
the Effective Date.  DG Hyp, owed in excess of $55 million, has
recently had the Properties appraised as having a value of
$41,200,000, leaving DG Hyp with a large deficiency claim
estimated at approximately $14,472,000.  DG Hyp will receive the
deeds of the properties, and DG Hyp will waive its deficiency
claim.  Unsecured creditors will be paid in full from the
$3,500,000 held in the Debtors' accounts reserved for DG Hyp.
Pursuant to DG Hyp's plan, equity holders won't receive anything
and their interests will be extinguished.

WATERJET HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'B' CCR & Rates $225MM Notes 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B'
corporate credit rating to U.S.-based waterjet pump manufacturer
Waterjet Holdings Inc.  The outlook is stable.  At the same time,
S&P assigned its 'B' issue-level rating to Waterjet's $225 million
senior secured notes, with a recovery rating of '3', indicating
S&P's expectation for meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event
of a payment default.

S&P's rating on Waterjet reflects the company's "aggressive"
financial risk profile, with pro forma leverage of about 4.5x, and
its "vulnerable" business risk profile, which reflects its narrow
scope of operations and cyclical end markets.

Waterjet manufactures waterjet cutting systems, ultra high-
pressure pumps, robotic cutting systems, and surface preparation
systems, and it provides related parts and services.  The
company's end markets include aerospace, automotive, defense,
electronic manufacturing services (EMS), food processing, oil and
gas, building products, and other industrial markets.

The outlook is stable.  "We expect modest revenue growth and
improving margins will allow Waterjet to maintain leverage below
5x," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Svetlana Olsha.

S&P could lower the rating if weaker-than-expected market demand
or operational issues cause deterioration in the company's credit
measures, such as leverage of more than 5x for an extended period,
and if the company is unable to generate positive free cash flow.
S&P could also lower the rating if liquidity becomes constrained.

S&P could raise the rating if Waterjet demonstrates a track record
of good operating performance and consistent profitability.  For
an upgrade, S&P would also expect the company to maintain leverage
below 5x and FFO to debt above 12%, which is consistent with an
"aggressive" financial risk profile assessment.


WESCO AIRCRAFT: S&P Affirms 'BB-' CCR & Removes Rating From Watch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating on Wesco Aircraft Holdings Inc. and removed the
rating from CreditWatch, where it placed it with negative
implications on Jan. 31, 2014.  The outlook is stable.  S&P also
assigned its 'BB-' issue-level ratings and '3' recovery ratings to
the company's senior secured facilities, which consist of the
existing $200 million revolver and $568 million term loan A, both
of which mature in 2017; and the proposed $525 million term loan
B, which matures in 2021.  The '3' recovery ratings indicate S&P's
expectation of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

The rating affirmation reflects S&P's view that Wesco's credit
metrics will return to levels appropriate for the rating, despite
a significant increase in debt to fund the company's planned
$550 million purchase of Haas Group International Inc.  Haas is a
Pennsylvania-based provider of chemical management, product
distribution, supply chain management, and hazardous communication
services.  Wesco plans to finance the transaction with a new
$525 million term loan B, cash on hand, and revolver borrowings.
The new term loan will be added to the company's existing
$768 million credit facility, which includes a $200 million
revolver and $568 million term loan A.  The transaction is
expected to close in first-quarter 2014, resulting in pro forma
debt to EBITDA increasing to about 4.5x from 2.6x in the 12 months
ending Sept. 30, 2013.

S&P continues to assess Wesco's financial risk profile as
"aggressive," based on its view that a combination of debt
reduction and earnings growth will result in gradual improvement
in credit metrics over the next two years.  Since Haas is
considerably larger than Wesco's previous acquisitions, S&P do not
expect the company to engage in any substantial merger and
acquisition activity in the near future.  S&P expects the company
to use excess cash flow towards debt reduction.

"We assess Wesco's business risk profile as "fair," based on the
company's leading market position in a niche segment of the
overall aerospace and defense industry, as well as its strong
profitability and efficient operations.  These factors are offset
by the highly competitive and cyclical general aviation markets in
which the company operates and its relatively limited end-market
and product diversity.  Although Wesco is one of the leading
distributors in the industry, the market is highly competitive and
there has been a trend of disintermediation in recent years.  The
market is dominated by two companies (B/E Aerospace Inc. is the
largest of the two and it focuses more on aftermarket work)
followed by Wesco, which concentrates more on original equipment
manufacturer parts," S&P said.

"We believe that the Haas acquisition will improve some elements
of Wesco's business risk profile, but not enough to warrant a
change in the overall "fair" business risk assessment at this
time.  The acquisition adds a new business capability -- chemicals
supply chain management (CSCM) -- that has considerable customer
overlap with Wesco's existing business. CSCM services include
sourcing and procurement, quality assurance, inventory management,
and process control and usage management.  However, given Haas's
size as the largest acquisition in Wesco's history, combined with
the company's entry into a fairly new market, the combination
could create some challenges such as integration risk.  We believe
that Wesco's decision to run Haas as a parallel company, keep
their management team, and preserve their information technology
systems mitigates some of this risk.  Another consideration in our
"fair" business risk assessment is the combined company's
operating profitability.  The margin profile of Haas' products is
similar to those of Wesco's EPG (electronic products) business,
which has a lower margin profile than the company's other
products.  As such, profit margins will not be as strong as has
been the case historically, due to the mix shift towards lower-
margin products," S&P noted.


YRC WORLDWIDE: Refinances $1.1 Billion in Debt
----------------------------------------------
John Kell, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
trucking company YRC Worldwide Inc. said it has refinanced more
than $1.1 billion in debt, pushing back the date it is due to
mature to 2019.

According to the report, the move comes after YRC, earlier this
year, won approval from its union employees to extend their
contract, clearing the way for a refinancing critical to
stabilizing the company.

"The new credit agreements are much more flexible than the
previous agreements," the Journal cited Chief Financial Officer
Jamie Pierson as saying.

YRC closed on financing of a new $700 million term loan and a $450
million asset-backed loan, the report related.  The proceeds from
the new term loan were used to refinance a prior loan and asset-
backed facilities that were put in place in 2007 and subsequently
restructured in 2011.

The new facilities provide interest savings of about $40 million
to $50 million a year, YRC said, the report further related.
Shares rose 1.4% to $21.25 in after-hours trading on Feb. 13.

YRC WORLDWIDE: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to 'Caa3'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the Corporate Family Rating
for YRC Worldwide Inc. ("YRCW") from Caa3 to B3, following the
successful closing of its refinancing transactions. In addition,
Moody's revises the Probability of Default ("PDR") rating from
Caa3-PD to B3-PD/LD ("Limited Default"), as it deems the
conversion of $50 million of principal amount of the Series B
Convertible Notes that took place as part of YRCW's refinancing
transactions, a distressed exchange. Moody's will remove the "/LD"
indicator after three business days. Moody's also changed the
rating for YRCW's new $700 million first lien term loan to Ba3
from (P)Ba3, and raised YRCW's Speculative Grade Liquidity ("SGL")
rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4. The rating outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

Yesterday, YRCW announced that it has successfully closed a new
$700 million first lien term loan and a new $450 million ABL
credit facility. On January 31st, the company also announced that
it successfully issued $250 million of common and preferred stock
and that approximately $50 million of principal amount of the
company's Series B Convertible Notes were exchanged for or
converted to common stock. These transactions, together with a new
collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters ("IBT"), complete YRCW's planned refinancing of more
than $1.0 billion of debt that would have become due in the next
14 months.

The upgrade of the CFR to B3 reflects the improvements to YRCW's
capital structure that result from these transactions, while
recognizing that YRCW's debt levels remain elevated, despite a
debt reduction of approximately $250 million. In calculating
YRCW's debt levels, Moody's takes into account its standard
adjustments for operating leases and pension liabilities. Moody's
estimates that the debt adjustment associated with YRCW's pension
liabilities represents almost half of YRCW's total debt. The CFR
also takes into consideration YRCW's improved ability to generate
cash flows following the refinancing, as the company benefits from
materially reduced interest expenses and cost savings from the
implementation of the new IBT agreement. Importantly, this would
allow the company to increase its capital expenditures, which have
been constrained in recent years due its weak financial condition.
The improvements in YRCW's liquidity profile derived from
extending all material debt maturities and achieving positive free
cash flow, further support both the CFR and the upgrade of the SGL
rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4.

Despite the beneficial impact of the conversion of the Series B
Convertible Notes on YRCW's capital structure, Moody's recognizes
a limited default as a result of this transaction: it considers
the stock that is delivered to note holders a diminished financial
obligation relative to the original obligation of the notes, and
the exchange has the effect of allowing the issuer to avoid a
payment default.

The rating differential between the Ba3 rating for the new $700
million first lien term loan and YRCW's CFR of B3 is caused by the
relatively high proportion of unsecured debt in YRCW's total debt
structure, which includes Moody's adjustment for unfunded pension
obligations. This tends to affect positively the instrument
ratings for secured debt in Moody's Loss Given Default analysis.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that YRCW will
demonstrate material improvements in operating performance over
the next 12 to 18 months, driven by moderate revenue growth and
substantial margin improvements derived from cost savings under
the new IBT agreement and reduced interest expenses. These
improvements should result in credit metrics for YRCW that are
consistent with the company's CFR of B3.

A rating downgrade or a change in outlook could be considered if
the company is not able to restore operating margins to at least
4%, possibly as a result of failing to realize the anticipated
cost savings from its new collective bargaining agreement. Rating
pressure could also result if Debt to EBITDA were to be in excess
of 6.5 times on a sustained basis and EBIT to Interest were to be
less than 1.0 time for a prolonged period.

YRCW's ratings or the outlook could be raised if the company were
to improve operating margins to such levels that the company can
generate sustainably positive free cash flow, while undertaking a
capital spending program in excess of 4.0% of revenues. In
addition, Debt to EBITDA of less than 5.5 times and EBIT to
Interest of more than 1.2 times could also indicate a sustainable
improvement in YRCW's credit profile that would merit a higher
rating.

YRC WORLDWIDE: Extends Teamsters CBA Until March 2019
-----------------------------------------------------
YRC Inc. (d/b/a YRC Freight), USF Holland Inc., New Penn Motor
Express, Inc., USF Reddaway Inc. and the Teamsters National
Freight Industry Negotiating Committee of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters entered into the Extension of the
Agreement for the Restructuring of the YRC Worldwide Inc.
Operating Companies.  The Agreement went into effect on Feb. 9,
2014.  The Company had previously announced that its Teamster
employee membership had voted to ratify the Agreement and TNFINC
had certified the voting results ratifying the Agreement on
Jan. 27, 2014, and Jan. 28, 2014, respectively.

The Agreement extends the term of the Teamsters collective
bargaining agreements and prior Memorandum of Understandings by
approximately five years, to March 31, 2019.  The Agreement also
provides that the Employer will pay eligible employees $750 lump
sum bonuses in 2014 and 2015, in lieu of hourly wage increases,
and provides that in 2016, 2017 and 2018, their wages will be
increased annually by $.40/hr subject to potential reductions.
Under the terms of the Agreement, beginning in 2016, the
Employer's employees will be eligible for profit sharing bonuses
of up to 3 percent of their W-2 earnings.  Those profit sharing
bonus calculations and payments will be separate for YRC Freight
and the Regional Carriers and be payable based on the respective
performance of each (on a combined basis for the Regional
Carriers).  Pursuant to the Agreement, certain of the Employer's
employees hired into clerical and other non-Commercial Driver
License positions will have a top pay rate of $18.00/hr.

The Agreement also provides Employer contributions to the
applicable health and welfare funds may increase by up to $.35/hr
on Jan. 1, 2015, $.50/hr on Aug. 1, 2015, and $1.00/hr on each of
August 1 of 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, as required to
maintain health and welfare benefit levels.  Under the Agreement,
the Employer's pension fund and 401(k) plan contributions remain
at current levels, although that rate may increase beginning in
2016 if the applicable health and welfare fund requires less than
a certain threshold amount to maintain health and welfare
benefits.  Pursuant to the Agreement, in no event will annual
health and pension fund contribution rate increases exceed
$1.00/hr combined in 2016, 2017 and 2018.  Also, under the terms
of the Agreement, vacation earned beginning in 2014 and continuing
through 2017 will be paid at a reduced amount.  The Agreement
further provides for a uniform attendance policy that is designed
to reduce employee absenteeism.

The Agreement also provides that YRC Freight will have the ability
to use third party carriers to provide service in certain
circumstances up to a certain number of miles.  Under the terms of
the Agreement, the Employer may not purchase any union or non-
union regular route common carrier without the prior approval of
the Union.

* January's Drop in Filings Continues 2013 Pattern
--------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that bankruptcy filings in January picked up where they
left off last year, dropping 13 percent compared with the same
month in 2013. Filings in 2013 fell 13 percent from 2012.

There were 68,150 total bankruptcies of all types across the
country last month, the report related, citing data compiled from
court records by Epiq Systems Inc. The states with the most
filings per capita were Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, the same
as in 2013. Last year, filings fell in all 50 states.

close to December's total, according to the report.  Chapter 11
filings by business showed much the same pattern. The 387 January
Chapter 11s were seven fewer than in December.

Bankruptcies dropped 14 percent in 2012 from the year
before, and declined 12 percent in 2011 from the 1.56 million in
2010, the most since the record 2.1 million in 2005, the report
said.  In the last two weeks before the laws were tightened in
2005, 630,000 Americans sought bankruptcy protection.


* Liquidity Stress on Junk Companies Creeps Up, Moody's Says
------------------------------------------------------------
The liquidity-stress index crept up in January, Bill Rochelle, the
bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News, reports, citing Moody's
Investors Service.

After reaching a record low of 2.8 percent in April, the index
crept up 0.3 percent last month, reaching 4.5 percent in January,
the report said.  The index represents the percentage of junk-
rated companies with the weakest liquidity.

The index remains well below the 7.1 percent long-term average,
Moody's said, the report related.  The high was 20.9 percent in
March 2009.

Moody's predicts that defaults among junk-rated companies
will decline from 2.2 percent in December to 1.7 percent by
June, rising to 2.3 percent at the year-end, the report further
related.

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 by e-mail.

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 the nation's bankruptcy courts.  The
list includes links to freely downloadable of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF documents.

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.
