1250 OCEANSIDE PARTNERS: Hackahokulia to Give Up Lot
----------------------------------------------------
1250 Oceanside Partners last month submitted a motion with the
bankruptcy court for approval of a potential Deed in Lieu of
Foreclosure Agreement with one of its borrowers, Hackahokulia,
LLC.

Hackahokulia purchased one of the lots in the Hokulia Development
located at 81-6629 Haokea Place, South Kona, Hawaii.  On April 18,
2001, it executed a promissory note in favor of Oceanside, in the
principal amount of $680,000, for the balance remaining on its
purchase of the property.  It defaulted on its obligations under
the note by failing to pay the amounts owed when due.

According to Alika L. Piper, Esq., attorney for the Debtors,
pursuant to the Agreement, Hackahokulia has agreed to convey its
property and interest in the Club of Hokuli'a to Oceanside, and
further agrees to release its subject claims against Oceanside.
In return, Oceanside agrees to release Hackahokulia from any
further claims under the subject loan documents.

                   About 1250 Oceanside Partners

1250 Oceanside Partners, Front Nine, LLC, and Pacific Star
Company, LLC, owners of the 1,800-acre Hokuli'a luxury real
estate development near Kona on the island of Hawaii, sought
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Hawaii Lead Case No. 13-00353)
on March 6, 2013, in Honolulu.

The Debtors were formed by developer Lyle Anderson and were
part of his development "empire", which included developments
in Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico and Scotland.  The secured
lender, Bank of Scotland, declared a default and obtained
control of the Debtors in January 2008.

Development of the property, which has 3.5 miles of waterfront
on the Kona coast, stopped after the developers were declared
in default under the loan.  Oceanside and Front Nine own most
of the land within the Hokuli'a project, which is the principal
development.  Pacific Star owns the land referred to as
"Keopuka", near Hokuli'a.  The Hokuli'a was to have 730
residential units, an 18-hole golf course, club and other
amenities.

The Debtors say their assets are worth $68.1 million while they
are jointly liable to $625 million of debt to Sun Kona Finance
LLC, which acquired the Hawaii loan from Bank of Scotland.

Simon Klevansky, Esq., Alika L. Piper, Esq., and Nicole D.
Stucki, Esq., at Klevansky Piper, LLP, represent the Debtor in
its restructuring effort.  They replaced the law firm of Gelber,
Gelber & Ingersoll as general counsel.

A creditors committee has not been appointed.

James A. Wagner, Esq., and Allison A. Ito, Esq., at Wagner Choi &
Verbrugge, represent creditor Sun Kona Finance I, LLC, as counsel.

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Robert Faris on May 12 confirmed the bankruptcy-exit plan by 1250
Oceanside Partners and two affiliates.

1250 Oceanside Partners on May 12, 2014 won court approval of a
reorganization plan that would turn over ownership to its secured
lender.  Sun Kona would provide a $65 million exit facility to
help make payments under the plan and to fund the reorganized
company when it leaves court protection.


ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES: Stockholders Elect 11 Directors
-------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., held its 2014 annual meeting of
stockholders on May 8 at which the Company's stockholders:

   (1) elected Bruce L. Claflin, W. Michael Barnes, John E.
       Caldwell, Henry WK Chow, Nora M. Denzel, Nicholas M.
       Donofrio, Martin L. Edelman, John R. Harding, Michael J.
       Inglis, Rory P. Read and Ahmed Yahia as directors;

   (2) ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the
       Company's independent registered public accounting firm for
       the fiscal year ending Dec. 27, 2014;

   (3) approved the amendment and restatement of the Advanced
       Micro Devices, Inc., 2004 Equity Incentive Plan; and

   (4) approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation
       of the Company's named executive officers.

                    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.

Advanced Micro incurred a net loss of $83 million for the year
ended Dec. 28, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $1.18 billion
for the year ended Dec. 29, 2012.  As of March 29, 2014, the
Company had $4.10 billion in total assets, $3.59 billion in total
liabilities and $511 million 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 for Advanced Micro
Devices.  The rating reflects Fitch's expectations for negative
near-term free cash flow 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.


ALG INTERMEDIATE: S&P Affirms 'B' Corp. Credit Rating
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed it 'B' corporate
credit rating on U.S.-based resort management and packaged
vacation provider ALG Intermediate Holdings B.V. The outlook is
stable.

"In addition, we affirmed our 'CCC+' issue-level rating and '6'
recovery rating on the company's $75 million second-lien term loan
due 2020," S&P said.

"At the same time, we revised our recovery rating on ALG's $160
million first-lien credit facilities (consisting of $20 million
revolver due 2018 and a $140 million term loan due 2019) to '1'
(90% to 100% recovery expectation) from '2' (70% to 90% recovery
expectation). We subsequently raised our issue-level rating on
this debt to 'BB-' from 'B+', in accordance with our notching
criteria."

The recovery rating revision reflects a lower amount of first-lien
debt outstanding under our simulated default scenario resulting
from a planned $17 million first-lien term loan prepayment related
to the receipt of escrow moneys following termination of two of
the company's resort management contracts. This results in
improved recovery prospects for the first-lien credit facilities,
enough to warrant a recovery rating of '1'.

The 'B' corporate credit rating on ALG reflects S&P's assessment
of the company's financial risk as "highly leveraged" and our
assessment of the business risk as "weak."

"Our assessment of ALG's financial risk profile as highly
leveraged reflects control by financial sponsor Bain Capital,
notwithstanding credit measures in our base-case forecast that
otherwise would indicate an improved financial risk assessment. We
expect total lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA to be in the high-4x
area in 2014 and about 4x in 2015, and EBITDA coverage of interest
expense to be 3x and above through 2015, credit measures that
could be in line with an improved "aggressive" financial risk
assessment. However, we believe financial sponsors frequently
extract cash or otherwise increase leverage over time, and as a
result, our financial policy assessment is 'FS-6' and in line
with highly leveraged financial risk," said S&P.

"Our assessment of ALG's business risk profile as weak reflects
high levels of competition for discretionary leisure spending by
the company's mostly U.S. and Canadian customer base, high levels
of competition and travel-related event risk in the company's
mostly Mexican and Caribbean all-inclusive resort market
destinations, limited geographic and business diversity compared
with other global leisure companies, and a limited track record of
operating results. Partly mitigating these risk factors is a
portfolio of long-term management contracts in the company's
AMResorts resort management business (which we anticipate to be
about 65% of 2014 EBITDA) that contain reasonable protections
against cancellation, the company's focus on the affluent North
American travel market, and the company's good position in, and
the increasing popularity of, the all-inclusive resort vacation
market," said S&P.


API TECHNOLOGIES: Steel Excel Owns 20.5% Equity Stake
-----------------------------------------------------
In an amended Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Steel Excel Inc. and its affiliates disclosed
that as of May 8, 2014, they beneficially owned 11,377,192 shares
of common stock of API Technologies Corp. representing 20.5
percent of the shares outstanding.  The reporting persons
previously owned 9,628,588 shares at March 7, 2014.  A copy of the
regulatory filing is available for free at http://is.gd/JFs6s0

                       About API Technologies

API Technologies designs, develops and manufactures electronic
systems, subsystems, RF and secure solutions for technically

Technologies' customers include many leading Fortune 500
companies.  API Technologies trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol

at www.apitech.com.

For the 12 months ended Nov. 30, 2013, the Company incurred a net
loss of $7.22 million on $244.30 million of net revenue as
compared with a net loss of $148.70 million on $242.38 million of
net revenue for the 12 months ended Nov. 30, 2012.

As of Nov. 30, 2013, the Company had $304.57 million in total
assets, $147.14 million in total liabilities, $26.32 million in
redeemable preferred stock and $131.10 million in shareholders'
equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 14, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
has withdrawn all ratings of API Technologies Corp., including its
Caa1 Corporate Family Rating and negative outlook due to the
repayment of all rated debt.  On Feb. 6, 2013, API Technologies
Corp. completed a refinancing of its previously outstanding rated
bank debt.  All ratings of API have been withdrawn since the
company has no rated debt outstanding.

In the Feb. 22, 2013, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said that it lowered its corporate credit rating
on API Technologies Corp. to 'B-' from 'B'.

"The downgrade reflects weaker-than-expected credit metrics
resulting from less-than-expected improvements in operating
performance and higher debt, including a modest increase from the
recent refinancing," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Chris
Mooney.


AMERICAN APPAREL: EVP Glenn Weinman Resigns

American Apparel, Inc., and Glenn A. Weinman, executive vice

Meagher & Flom and investment bank Rothschild Inc. for advice on a
restructuring.

In April 2011, American Apparel said it raised $14.9 million in
rescue financing from a group of investors led by Canadian

Corp., allowing the casual clothing retailer to meet obligations
to its lenders for the time being.  Under the deal, the investors
were buying 15.8 million shares of common stock at 90 cents
apiece.  The deal allows the investors to purchase additional
27.4 million shares at the same price.

compared with a net loss of $39.31 million in 2011.  The Company's

                           *     *     *

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating to 'CCC' from 'B-' on Los Angeles-based American Apparel

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Nov. 21, 2013, reported that
American Apparel Inc. had its corporate family rating cut one
level to Caa2 by Moody's Investors Service.  The clothing
retailer's probability of default was also lowered one level and
the outlook is negative.


ASHLEY STEWART: May Assume James Rhee Employment Contract
---------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court authorized Ashley Stewart Holdings Inc., et
al., to assume the employment agreement with James C. Rhee, the
interim president and interim chief financial officer, with
respect to any sale bonus and severance payment.

Pursuant to the agreement:

   1. the Debtors will not make any payments to Mr. Rhee on
      account of any sale bonus or severance payment; and

   2. the Debtors will have no obligation to indemnify Mr. Rhee,
      or provide contribution or reimbursement to Mr. Rhee for
      any claim or expense that is: (i) judicially determined to
      have arisen from Mr. Rhee's gross negligence, willful
      misconduct or fraud; (ii) for a contractual dispute in
      which the Debtors allege breach of Mr. Rhee's contractual
      obligations if the Court determines that indemnification,
      contribution or reimbursement would not be permissible; or
      (iii) settled prior to a judicial determination under (i) or
      (ii) but determined by the Court, after notice and a
      hearing, to be a claim or expense for which Mr. Rhee must
      not receive indemnity, contribution or reimbursement under
      the terms of the employment agreement, as modified by the
      order.

The U.S. Trustee, in a limited objection, stated that the Debtors'
motion does not outline what forms of indemnity or insurance is
provided to other directors and officers of the Debtors, and
therefore the appropriateness of the indemnification agreement
compared to other such insiders cannot be considered.

ASHLEY STEWART: Global Settlement, Incentive Plan Okayed
--------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has approved settlement and compromise dated
April 14, 2014, among Ashley Stewart Holdings, Inc., et al., the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, DIP Secured Parties,
and Prepetition Secured Parties.

According to the Debtors, the global settlement paves the way for
an uncontested final DIP order, a consensual agreement between the
settlement parties on the key employee incentive program (KEIP)
and curtails administrative expense caused by litigation and
delay.

In connection with the global settlement, the DIP Lenders and the
GBG Parties have agreed to subordinate certain of their secured
claims in order to provide a pool of recovery for administrative
claimants.  In exchange for such value, mutual releases are being
granted.  The releases are critical to the global settlement since
without them, there would be no agreement and the estate would be
forced to participate in litigation that it does not believe would
be accretive to the creditors and would only serve to create more
expenses that the estate simply cannot afford.

Among other things, the settlement provides that the aggregate net
proceeds from the sale of the Debtor's assets will be applied in
this order:

   First, to the payment in full in cash of the DIP Obligations
less the "Compromise Fees" which consists of the amount of
$125,000 of the DIP Exit Fee and $50,000 of legal expenses due to
certain GBG Parties, as DIP Lender which will be paid pursuant to
section 2(a)(iii) of the agreement;

   Second, into a segregated escrow account only available for the
payments, an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 to pay allowed unpaid
administrative claims to be allocated in accordance with the
following waterfall: first, to pay accrued but unpaid professional
fees as of the closing of the Sale (which funds will be
immediately distributed from the GUC Account to the Professional

Roberta A. Deangelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3, has objected to
the funds being paid to specific administrative creditors without
the benefits of a plan of reorganization providing for such
creditors to share in the pool on a pro rata basis.

                 Incentive Program Gets Court's Nod

The Bankruptcy Court also has authorized Ashley Stewart to adopt
and implement a key employee incentive program, and to make
payments contemplated by the KEIP.  Approval of the KEIP was
subject to the approval of the global settlement, which was
approved on April 23.

The Debtors related that they had worked with the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors, the prepetition and postpetition
lenders, and have reached a global settlement that would resolve
all material issues between these parties in the cases related to
the Debtors' postpetition financing and budget and the KEIP
motion.  Importantly, the resolution of the critical issues among
the settlement parties paved the way for the consummation of a
going concern sale transaction for substantially all of the
Debtors' assets to close April 2014.

Specifically, the global settlement provides for treatment of the
claims of the employees eligible to participate in the Debtors'
KEIP, if the KEIP motion be approved by the Court.

Pursuant to the global settlement, the first $150,000 portion of
the KEIP, to the extent allowed by the Court, is provided for in
the third priority of Tier 2 of the Recovery Analysis -- after the
payment of claims of employees who are not transferred to the
going concern purchaser, certain professional fees and
approximately 50%-52% of claims under Section 503(b)(9) of the
Bankruptcy Code and "stub rent" claims.  Thereafter, to the extent
the proceeds of the sale are sufficient to cover Tier 2 Claims,
then the remaining 50% of the KEIP Claims will be paid in Tier 3.
Finally, to the extent the sale proceeds are sufficient to cover
all Tier 3 Claims, the remaining unpaid portion of the KEIP will
be paid together with Tier 4 Claims.

A copy of the KEIP is available for free at:

      http://bankrupt.com/misc/ASHLEYST_332_kEIPord.pdf

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 22, 2014,
the Debtors stated that the goals of the KEIP are to motivate
certain essential personnel through the closing of the sale, to
reward certain essential employees if critical goals are achieved
that benefits all stakeholders, and to maximize the value of the
Debtors' estates for the benefit of all creditors.

The Debtors state that they have identified four top executives
and six management team members (the Participating Employees) that
the Debtor believes are essential to the successful execution of
the sale and will have the most impact on the value achieved
through the sale process. The participating Employees are the
employees principally responsible for assisting with the sale of
the Debtors' assets and that incentivizing their performance will
certainly inure to the benefit of the Debtors' creditors and
stakeholders.

The Debtors explain that the proposed KEIP is a performance-based
incentive program. As such, it provides increasing levels of
incentive payments to the Participating Employees based upon a
successful sale of the Debtors' assets. The amount of the
individual incentive bonuses are based on the Debtors realizing
certain levels of proceeds from a sale of all or substantially all
of the Debtors' assets, including the Sale. The Debtors assert
that the KEIP has an estimated cost ranging from a minimum of $0
to an absolute maximum of $1,400,000.

The Debtors believe that achieving the target sale proceeds levels
for the incentive bonuses will be difficult and will require
significant efforts by the Participating Employees.

The Debtors state that incentivizing participating employees will
pass muster under the business judgment rule and thus the Court
should approve the KEIP. Incentivizing the Participating Employees
to work towards obtaining higher and better bids for the Debtors'
assets Debtors state increases the likelihood of a robust Auction
with multiple rounds of bidding. Thus, the Debtors submit that the
KEIP is a reasonable exercise of their business judgment and is
necessary to properly incentivize the Participating Employees
during the sale.

Further the Debtors state that the KEIP is reasonable in scope
because it only applies to four top executives and six management
team personnel, together representing approximately less than 3%
of full time employees and approximately less than 1% of total
employees.

The Debtors emphasize that they must rely on the efforts of the 10
Participating Employees, and their performance will have the
greatest impact on the value that the Debtors achieve during the
sale process. Without these Participating Employees Debtors state
that operations would likely grind to a halt before even
considering the aggressive marketing that will need to occur over
the coming weeks leading up to the Auction.

The U.S. Trustee, in its objection, stated that the Debtors sought
authority to pay 10 unnamed individuals aggregate bonuses of
between $350,000 and $1.4 million, the lower of which is already
triggered by the pending stalking horse sale, anything greater
than $350,000 depending on any increased sale above the amount
offered by the pending stalking horse.

The U.S. Trustee submitted that the motion failed to disclose the
identity, job title and job description of the ten key employees,
or the specifics of why each individual is essential to maximize
the results of the Debtors' pending sale process.

ASHLEY STEWART: Has Until Oct. 6 to Decide on Unexpired Leases
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Michael B. Kaplan of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey extended until Oct. 6, 2014, the deadline
for the Ashley Stewart debtors to assume or reject unexpired
leases of nonresidential real property.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 15, 2014,
the Debtors' current deadline will expire on July 8.

The Debtors said they anticipate that many of their remaining real
property leases after the initial store closings and additional
store closings conclude will be assumed by the Debtors and
assigned to the ultimate purchaser of their assets.

According to papers filed with the Court, the proposed sale
contemplated that there will be a six-month option period where
the prevailing bidder can decide to assume or reject real property
leases.  Requiring the Debtors to assume or reject the real
property leases at this stage of the Chapter 11 Cases, before they
have had an opportunity to determine whether any such real
property leases can be assumed and assigned to a potential
purchaser, may limit the Debtors' ability to maximize the value of
their assets.

BEAZER HOMES: Provides Preliminary Second Quarter Data
------------------------------------------------------
Beazer Homes USA, Inc., provided certain preliminary operational
results for its fiscal second quarter and its approximation of the
unrestricted cash balance as of March 31, 2014.

As expected, new orders and closings were impacted by an estimated
6 percent decline in active community count, including a 21
percent decline in active community count in the Company's West
segment.  In addition, closings, as well as some new orders, were
impacted by severe weather conditions in the Company's East
Segment, which comprises approximately 40 percent of the Company's
active community count.

Sales per community per month for the fiscal second quarter were
3.3, compared with 2.2 in the first quarter and 3.4 in the second
quarter of 2013.  The Company expects to report an unrestricted
cash balance as of March 31, 2014 of between $285 million and $315
million and expects to report positive net income for fiscal 2014.

"We remain optimistic about the 2014 spring selling season," said
Allan Merrill, CEO of Beazer Homes.  "The new home market
continues to benefit from gradual improvements in the labor
market, limited home inventories and generally favorable
affordability metrics.  These characteristics led to more online
visits, higher traffic to our communities and stable or improving
home prices in our markets."

          Prices Offering of $325 Million Senior Notes

Beazer Homes priced its previously-announced offering of $325
million aggregate principal amount of 5.750 percent Senior Notes
due 2019 at par.  This represents an increase of $25 million over
the aggregate principal amount previously announced.  The Notes
are being offered in a private offering that is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

The Company is offering the Notes to qualified institutional
buyers in accordance with Rule 144A or outside the United States
in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The
Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund
or replenish cash that is expected to be used to fund the
redemption of its 9.125 percent senior notes due 2018.

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

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.

BROOKSTONE HOLDINGS: Panel Says 'No-Shop' Blocked Buyer
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the auction for specialty retailer Brookstone Inc.
should be extended because a so-called no-shop agreement precluded
a potential bidder from seeing detailed financial information, the
creditors' committee said.

The no-shop agreement, which bars a seller from providing
information to any other potential buyer, took effect upon the
Chapter 11 filing and will remain in place until sale procedures
are approved, the newly formed creditors' committee said in court
papers, according to the report.

Although the potential bidder "hired high-caliber U.S. bankruptcy
counsel," it was barred from conducting due diligence, according
to the committee, which didn't identify the possible buyer, the
report related.

                    About Brookstone Holdings

Brookstone Holdings Corp. and its affiliated debtors on April 3,
2013, filed for relief under Chapter 11 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case
No. 14-10752) with a plan to sell its business to another
retailer.

Specialty retailer Brookstone operated 242 retail stores across 40
states and Puerto Rico as of Feb. 1, 2014.  Of those stores, 195
are generally located near "center court" in America's top
retail centers and 47 are located in airports.  Brookstone
also operates an e-commerce business that includes the Brookstone
catalog and http://www.Brookstone.com/

An affiliate of Spencer Spirit Holdings Inc., the parent of gift-
shop chain Spencer's, has signed a deal to pay $147 million in
exchange for 100% of the reorganized debtor's equity, absent
higher and better offers from other parties.  As of Dec. 31, 2013,
Spencer operated 644 stores in 49 states and Canada.

As of the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors owe more than $50 million
on a senior secured prepetition credit facility ($34.1 million on
a revolver, $12.3 million on a term loan and $4.7 million on
account of letters of credit), and $137.3 million to holders of
junior notes.  The Debtors estimate that their unsecured debt is
between $75 million and $85 million.

The agreement with Spencer contemplates that Brookstone,
headquartered in New Hampshire, will continue to operate its mall
and airport stores, catalog, website, and wholesale channels,
under the Brookstone brand with current employees remaining at
their respective locations.

The Debtors have tapped K&L Gates LLP and Landis Rath & Cobb LLP
as attorneys, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP as their
financial advisors, Jefferies LLC as their investment banker, and
Kurtzman Carson Consultants as claims agent.

The DIP lenders are represented by Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP
and Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP.


C&K MARKET: Files Fine-Tuned Chapter 11 Reorganization Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that C&K Market Inc., a chain of 40 grocery stores,
submitted a revised reorganization plan based on new financing to
pay off a $25 million loan owing to U.S. Bank NA, the current
secured lender.

According to the report, like a plan filed in January, the new
version offers common stock to unsecured creditors with an
estimated $60 million in claims. The new plan also gives preferred
stock to unsecured creditors.

Unsecured creditors individually owed $10,000 or less will be paid
80 percent in cash, the report related.  Creditors secured with
liens on personal property are to be paid in full over four years,
compared with five in the prior plan. The interest rate was
increased by one percentage point to 6 percent.

Creditors secured with liens on real property will receive seven-
year notes at 6 percent interest, an increase of one percentage
point, the report further related.  The loans will amortize
principal on a 25-year schedule.

There also may be a rights offering allowing unsecured creditors
to buy more stock, the report added.

                       About C&K Market

C&K Market Inc., a 57 year-old grocery store chain, sought
bankruptcy protection from creditors with a plan to sell or close
some of its stores, on Nov. 19, 2013 (Bankr. D. Ore. Case No.

Caesars Entertainment Corp., formerly Harrah's Entertainment Inc.
-- http://www.caesars.com/-- is one of the world's largest casino
companies, with annual revenue of $4.2 billion, 20 properties on
three continents, more than 25,000 hotel rooms, two million square
feet of casino space and 50,000 employees.  Caesars casino resorts
operate under the Caesars, Bally's, Flamingo, Grand Casinos,
Hilton and Paris brand names.  The Company has its corporate
headquarters in Las Vegas.

Harrah's announced its re-branding to Caesar's on mid-November
2010.

Caesars Entertainment reported a net loss of $2.93 billion on
$8.55 billion in 2013, as compared with a net loss of $1.50
billion in 2012.  The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014,
showed $24.37 billion in total assets, $26.65 billion in total
liabilities and a $2.27 billion total deficit.

                           *     *     *

Caesars Entertainment carries a 'CCC' long-term issuer default
rating, with negative outlook, from Fitch and a 'Caa1' corporate
family rating with negative outlook from Moody's Investors
Service.

As reported in the TCR on Feb. 5, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
lowered the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of Caesars
Entertainment Corporation to SGL-3 from SGL-2, reflecting
declining revolver availability and Moody's concerns that Caesars'
earnings and cash flow will remain under pressure causing the
company's negative cash flow to worsen.

In the April 10, 2014, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit ratings on Las
Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment Corp. (CEC) and wholly owned
subsidiaries, Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. (CEOC) and
Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties (CERP), as well
as the indirectly majority-owned Chester Downs and Marina, to
'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.  The downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that
Caesars' capital structure is unsustainable, and the amount of
cash the company will burn in 2014 and 2015 creates conditions
under which S&P believes a restructuring of some form is
increasingly likely over the near term absent an unanticipated
significantly favorable change in operating performance.


CASH STORE: To Wind Down Brokered Lending Business

CALDERA PHARMACEUTICALS: Delays Form 10-K for 2013
--------------------------------------------------
Caldera Pharmaceuticals, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25
with respect to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2013.  The Company was unable to file its Annual Report
by the prescribed date without unreasonable effort or expense
because the Company was unable to compile certain information
required in order to permit the Company to file a timely and
accurate report on the Company's financial condition.  The Company

day extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2013, showed

"[T]he Company incurred a net loss of $2,350,606 and $413,539

capital deficiency of $1,500,503, including a non-cash derivative

losses and working capital deficiency create an uncertainty about
the Company?s ability to continue as a going concern.  Although no
assurances can be given, management of the Company believes that
potential additional issuances of equity or other potential
financing will provide the necessary funding for the Company to
continue as a going concern.  The unaudited consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  The
Company is economically dependent upon future capital
contributions or financing to fund ongoing operations," the
Company said in its quarterly report for the period ended
Sept. 30, 2013.

2014, Calmena and its senior lender entered into an extension
agreement pursuant to which the Senior Lender agreed to continue
to forbear from demanding payment or enforcing its security under
its credit facilities until the earlier of June 30, 2014 or a
default as defined in the Extension. Pursuant to the terms of the
Extension, the Company paid $1.0 million to the Senior Lender as a
permanent reduction of the amount owing under the Credit
Facilities on signing the Extension.  Also pursuant to the
Extension, the Company was required, on or before April 30, 2014,
to pay $9.0 million as a permanent reduction of the amount
owing under the Credit Facilities or provide evidence satisfactory
to the Senior Lender, by such date, that the Company had entered
into one or more binding transactions to sell assets that will
allow the Company to fund the required $9.0 million permanent
reduction by May 31, 2014.

The forbearance term may be further extended to July 31, 2014 if
the Company provides evidence satisfactory to the Senior Lender,
by June 30, 2014, that the Company has entered into one or more
binding transactions to sell assets that will allow the Company to
fully repay all amounts owing under the Credit Facilities by
July 31, 2014.  The April 30, 2014 deadline was subsequently
extended to May 9, 2014.

CASH STORE: Units Barred From Selling Payday Loan
-------------------------------------------------
The Ontario Registrar of the Ministry of Consumer Services has
issued a final order to refuse a lender's license under the Payday
Loans Act, 2008, to The Cash Store Financial Inc.'s subsidiaries,
The Cash Store Inc. and Instaloans Inc.  The Company is currently
not permitted to sell any payday loan products in Ontario and will
not be eligible to re-apply for a lender's license for 12 months
from the date of issuance of the final order.  If the Company
chooses to re-apply for a license after that time, the Company
will be required to provide new or additional evidence for the
Registrar to consider or demonstrate that material circumstances
have changed.

The Company has appealed the previously announced order of the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice dated Feb. 12, 2014, pursuant to
which the Company's basic line of credit product was declared to
be a payday loan and the Company was prohibited from acting as a
loan broker in respect of its basic line of credit product without
a broker's license under the Payday Loans Act.  There is no
certainty that the appeal will be successful and it is possible
that the Company will be required to permanently close its Ontario
operations.

The Company also announced that, as part of its ongoing strategic
review, the Company and the advisors to the Special Committee of
the Board of Directors have engaged in discussions with certain of
the Company's creditors and other stakeholders to address near
term liquidity issues that have arisen, including as a result of
the suspension of the Company's right to make loans in Ontario.
The Company has been notified of the formation of an ad hoc
committee of holders of the Company's 11.5 percent senior secured
notes through its legal and financial advisors and, accordingly,
the ad hoc committee is one of the creditor groups involved in
discussions with the Company regarding how to address its near
term liquidity issues.

There is no certainty that the Company's near term liquidity
issues will be resolved and, if resolved, on terms that are
favourable to the Company.

As reported in the Feb. 18, 2014, edition of the TCR, 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 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

Ontario by its regulator, the Ministry of Consumer Services.


CEETOP INC: Delays 2013 Form 10-K for Review
--------------------------------------------
Ceetop, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with
respect to its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2013.  The Company said it cannot file its Annual Report
within the prescribed time period because its independent
accountants have not completed the process of gathering and
analyzing the financial information necessary for the review of
the financial statements that will be included in the Company's
Form 10-K.

                         About Ceetop Inc.

                     Going Concern Uncertainty

"For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, our independent auditors, in
their report on the financial statements, have indicated that the
Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and may
not have enough cash and working capital to fund its operations
beyond the very near term, which raises substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.  Management has made a
similar note in the financial statements.  As indicated herein, we
must raise capital for the implementation of our business plan,
and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations.
We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our expenses of
operations.  Unless the Company is able to raise working capital,
it is likely that the Company either will have to cease operations
or substantially change its methods of operations or change its
business plan," the Company said in its quarterly report for the
period ended June 30, 2013.

the Company if the purchaser purchased less than $700,000 (28,000
shares) of Series B Preferred Stock in the private placement, or

CHARLES CARDIN: Absolute-Priority Rule Applies to Individual Ch11
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit, held that the
Bankruptcy Code's absolute-priority rule continues to apply to
pre-petition property of individual debtors in Chapter 11 cases.
Accordingly, the Sixth Circuit reversed a bankruptcy court order
confirming a plan in an individual debtor's Chapter 11 case,
saying the plan did not comply with the rule.  The Sixth Circuit
remanded the case for further proceedings.

The appellate case is ICE HOUSE AMERICA, LLC, Appellant, v.
CHARLES CARDIN, Appellee, No. 13-5764 (6th Cir.).  The question
presented in the appeal is whether the 2005 amendments to the
Bankruptcy Code abrogated the "absolute-priority rule" as applied
to individual debtors who file for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of
the Code. The bankruptcy court said yes, and approved a bankruptcy
plan that allowed the debtor, Charles Cardin, to retain most of
his pre-petition assets while paying his principal unsecured
creditor, Ice House America, LLC, less than 10 cents on the dollar
of its approved claim.

Ice House manufactures stand-alone machines that make cubed ice
and then vend the ice in bags to consumers. Cardin bought eight of
the machines, and operates them at various locations in Eastern
Tennessee. The machines provide substantial income: $264,000 in
2012, according to Mr. Cardin's own projections.  Separately, in
2004, Cardin (through a company he wholly owns) also signed
agreements to be the exclusive distributor of Ice House's machines
in Tennessee. But four years later Ice House sued for breach,
eventually obtaining two judgments against Cardin totaling
$1,301,900, without interest. Cardin then filed for bankruptcy as
an individual debtor.

Ice House and the United States Trustee objected to Cardin's plan
on the ground that it violates the absolute-priority rule. The
bankruptcy court overruled the objections, construing the 2005
amendments to the Bankruptcy Code to eliminate the absolute-
priority rule as applied to individual debtors. The bankruptcy
court then confirmed Cardin's plan.

Ice House appealed to the district court, which certified the
question presented for direct appeal to the Sixth Circuit.

COLDWATER CREEK: Finds Buyer for Idaho Headquarters
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Coldwater Creek Inc., the liquidating 362-store
women's-wear retailer, found a buyer to pay $2.6 million for its
headquarters campus in Kootenai, Idaho.

According to the report, the buyer is Litehouse Foods, the largest
employer in the county after Coldwater. Litehouse makes and
distributes refrigerated salad dressing, dips, sauces and
beverages.

Coldwater marketed the property before bankruptcy and attempted
unsuccessfully to complete the sale before filing in Chapter 11 on
March 11, the report related.  If the bankruptcy judge approves at
a May 21 hearing, the property will be sold without the usual
auction.

                      About Coldwater Creek

Coldwater Creek is a multi-channel retailer that offers its
merchandise through retail stores across the country, its catalog
and its e-commerce Web site, http://www.coldwatercreek.com/
Originally founded in Sandpoint, Idaho in 1984 as a direct,
catalog-based marketer, Coldwater evolved into a multi-channel
specialty retailer operating 334 premium retail stores, 31 factory
outlet stores and seven day spa locations throughout the United
States.

As of the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors domestically employ a
total of approximately 5,990 employees throughout their retail
locations, corporate headquarters and distribution, design and
call centers.

Coldwater Creek Inc. and its debtor-affiliates sought Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 14-10867) on
April 11, 2014, to liquidate their assets.

Coldwater Creek Inc. estimated $10 million to $50 million in
assets and $100 million to $500 million in liabilities.  Affiliate
Coldwater Creek U.S. Inc. estimated $100 million to $500 million
in assets and liabilities.

The Debtors have drawn $37.5 million and have approximately
$10 million in letters of credit outstanding under a senior
secured credit facility (ABL facility) provided by lenders led by
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent.  The Debtors
also owe $96 million, which includes accrued interest and
approximately $23 million representing a prepayment premium
payable, under a term loan from lenders led by CC Holding Agency
Corporation, as agent.  Aside from the funded debt, the Debtors
have accumulated a significant amount of accrued and unpaid trade
and other unsecured debt in the normal course of their business.

The Debtors have tapped Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, and
Shearman & Sterling LLP as attorneys, Perella Weinberg Partners LP
as financial advisor, Alvarez & Marsal as restructuring advisor,
and Prime Clerk LLC as claims and noticing agent.


COMDISCO HOLDING: Reports Fiscal 2014 2nd Qtr. Financial Results
----------------------------------------------------------------
Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. on May 14 reported financial
results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Comdisco emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on
August 12, 2002, and under its Plan of Reorganization, its
business purpose is limited to the orderly sale or run-off of all
its remaining assets.

Operating Results: For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Comdisco
reported net earnings of approximately $1,249,000, or $0.31 per
common share (basic and diluted).  The net earnings were driven by
a gain on sale of equity and warrant securities and the reversal
of uncertain tax positions in Canada as the Company?s Canadian
subsidiary, Comdisco Canada Limited, was liquidated during the
quarter ended March 31, 2014.  The per share results for Comdisco
were based on 4,028,951 shares of common stock outstanding on
March 31, 2014.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, total revenue was
approximately $1,703,000 as compared to approximately $26,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  Net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $1,008,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 2014 as a result of the receipt of the equity investment
proceeds and an income tax refund from Canada, offset partially by
payment of selling, general and administrative expenses and a
Canadian withholding tax.

Total assets were approximately $38,203,000 as of March 31, 2014,
including approximately $32,647,000 of unrestricted cash, compared
to total assets of approximately $38,304,000 as of September 30,
2013, including approximately $32,011,000 of unrestricted cash and
short-term investments.  The increase in unrestricted cash and
short-term investments was primarily a result of equity investment
proceeds and an income tax refund from Canada received during the
six months ended March 31, 2014 which was partially offset by
selling, general and administrative expenses and a Canadian
withholding tax paid during the period.

As a result of bankruptcy restructuring transactions, the adoption
of fresh-start reporting and multiple asset sales, Comdisco?s
financial results are not comparable to those of its predecessor
company, Comdisco, Inc. Please refer to Comdisco?s quarterly
report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 14, 2014 for complete financial statements and
other important disclosures.

                          About Comdisco

Comdisco emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on
August 12, 2002.  The purpose of reorganized Comdisco is to sell,
collect or otherwise reduce to money in an orderly manner the
remaining assets of the corporation.  Pursuant to the Plan and
restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation,
Comdisco is specifically prohibited from engaging in any business
activities inconsistent with its limited business purpose.
Accordingly, within the next few years, it is anticipated that
Comdisco will have reduced all of its assets to cash and made
distributions of all available cash to holders of its common stock
and contingent distribution rights in the manner and priorities
set forth in the Plan.  At that point, the company will cease
operations.  The company filed on August 12, 2004 a Certificate of
Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
to formally extinguish Comdisco Holding Company, Inc.'s corporate
existence with the State of Delaware except for the purpose of
completing the wind-down contemplated by the Plan.

                     About Diocese of Stockton

The Diocese of Stockton, California was established on Feb. 21,
1962, by Pope John XXIII from the territory formerly located in
the Archdiocese of San Francisco and the Diocese of Sacramento.
The Diocese, comprising the six counties of San Joaquin,
Stanislaus, Calaveras, Tuolumne, Alpine, and Mono, currently
serves approximately 250,000 Catholics in 35 parishes.

As a religious organization, The Roman Catholic Bishop of
Stockton ("RCB") has no significant ongoing for-profit business
activities.  Revenue for the RCB principally comes from the annual
ministry appeal, fees for services provided to non-RCB entities,
donations, grants, and RCB ministry revenue.

When the Diocese was created, most, if not all, of the property of
the Parishes (excluding the pre- and/or elementary (K-8) schools)
was held in the name of the RCB. The RCB also held the property
for the cemeteries in the Diocese as well as some of the real
property to be used for future parishes.

Several Roman Catholic dioceses in the U.S. have filed for
bankruptcy to settle claims from current and former parishioners
who say they were sexually molested by priests.

In Stockton's case, the RCB filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition

DOTS LLC: Two Buyers Win Intellectual Property
----------------------------------------------
Bevin Fletcher, writing for The Deal, reported that Dots LLC can
look ahead to a May 20 sale hearing after the retailer's
intellectual property fetched $661,000 at auction.

According to the report, in a May 13 statement, Hilco Streambank
announced an individual entrepreneur and New Dots LLC were both
winners of the May 10 auction.  According to Hilco, the unnamed
entrepreneur offered $335,000 for Dots' domain name, while New
Dots will pick up the remaining IP, including trademarks, customer
lists and brand names, for $326,000.

"The auction was very active with multiple rounds of bidding,"
Hilco Streambank executive vice president Jack Hazan said in the
statement, the report related.  "It was interesting to see the
bidding on the dots.com domain name top the bids on all of the
other assets. You need to think out of the box when selling IP, as
the best buyers are not always the likely suspects."

Hazan was not immediately available for comment, but he previously
told the Deal Pipeline that a four-letter, single-domain name such
as Dots can be valuable for domain investors or other businesses
with the word "dots" in their name, the report further related.

Each of the winning bids surpassed the stalking-horse offer from
Rainbow Inc., which totaled $250,000 for the whole package, the
report added.  Rainbow is entitled to up to $25,000 in expense
reimbursement, according to bidding procedures approved April 21.

E. H. MITCHELL: Creditor Supports Bid to Dismiss Case
-----------------------------------------------------
Reginald J. Laurent, a creditor of E. H. Mitchell & Company LLC,
filed a Memorandum in Support of the motion of Henry G. Hobbs,
Jr., Acting U.S. Trustee for Region 5, seeking to convert or,
alternatively, to dismiss the chapter 11 case of E. H. Mitchell &
Company LLC.

According to Mr. Laurent, all of the conditions, facts and
circumstances evidencing bad faith filing of a bankruptcy
petition, as determined by the Fifth Circuit in Matter of Little
Creek Development Co., exist with respect to the filing of
Mitchell's petition.

Mr. Laurent argued that:

     -- Mitchell is a "single asset real estate" as defined in
        11 U.S.C. Sec. 101(51B).  Mitchell has one asset, a
        tract of undeveloped real property and the revenues
        it receives are passive in nature. Mitchell conducts no
        active business, other than merely operating the real
        property and activities incidental thereto.

     -- The First National Bank of Picayune, and other secured
        creditors' liens encumber Mitchell's single asset.

     -- Mitchell has no employees. Only the three principals,
        i.e., members Brian Furr, Michael Furr and Steven Furr.

     -- Mitchell has little cash flow in comparison to its debts
        owed.

     -- Mitchell has no available sources of income to sustain
        a plan of reorganization or to make adequate protection
        payments pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 361,362(d)(1),
        363(e), or 364(d)(1).

     -- Mitchell has only a few unsecured creditors, namely,
        its former accountant Kathie Rickert and its former
        attorney Alan Ezkovich, whose claims are small
        relatively speaking.

     -- Mitchell's property was on the brink of being posted
        for foreclosure by the First National Bank of Picayune.

     -- Mitchell and its largest creditor (Laurent) have
        proceeded to a stand-still in litigation that commenced
        in state court litigation.  Bankruptcy offered the only
        possibility of forestalling Laurent's State Court Lawsuit
        for attorney's fees.  Mitchell admitted in its Motion to
        Extend the Exclusivity Period, that its predominant
        purpose in filing the petition was to forestall Laurent's
        effort to assess his attorney's fee for time and labor
        expended for seven years and to avoid recordation of the
        "special privilege" accorded him under Louisiana law.

     -- There are allegations of wrongdoing by Patricia Furr and
        Brian Furr, the principals of Mitchell, both of whom are
        insiders.

                    About E. H. Mitchell & Company LLC

E. H. Mitchell & Company LLC sought protection under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code on Oct. 8, 2013, (Case No. 13-12786, Bankr.
E.D. La.).  The case is assigned to Judge Jerry A. Brown.

The Debtor is represented by Robert L. Marrero, Esq., at Robert
Marrero, LLC, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Debtor disclosed
$300,027,297 in assets and $1,281,148 in liabilities.

The petition was signed by Michael Furr, secretary/member.

Henry G. Hobbs, Jr., Acting United States Trustee for Region 5,

creditors.


ECOTALITY INC: Exclusive Plan Filing Period Extended to June 29
---------------------------------------------------------------
At the behest of Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation,
dba Ecotality North America and its debtor-affiliate, the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court extended the Debtors' exclusive periods to file a
plan of reorganization up to and including June 29, 2014, and the
exclusive solicitation period up to and including August 28, 2014.

Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Ecotality, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ECTY) -- http://www.ecotality.com-- is a provider of
electric transportation and storage technologies.

Ecotality Inc. along with affiliates including lead debtor
Electric Transportation Engineering Corp. sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Lead Case No. 13-16126) on Sept. 16,
2013, with plans to sell the business at an auction.

The cases are assigned to Chief Judge Randolph J. Haines.  The
Debtors' lead counsel are Charles R. Gibbs, Esq., at Akin Gump
Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in Dallas, Texas; and David P. Simonds,
Esq., and Arun Kurichety, Esq., at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld
LLP, in Los Angeles, California.  The Debtors' local counsel is
Jared G. Parker, Esq., at Parker Schwartz, PLLC, in Phoenix,
Arizona.  FTI Consulting, Inc. serves as the Debtors' crisis
manager and financial advisor.  The Debtors' claims and noticing
agent is Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC.

Electric Transportation estimated assets of $10 million to $50
million and debt of $100 million to $500 million.  Unlike most
companies in bankruptcy, Ecotality has no secured debt.  It simply
ran out of money.  There's $5 million owing on convertible notes,
plus liability on leases.  Part of pre-bankruptcy financing took
the form of a $100 million cost-sharing grant from the U.S. Energy
Department.  In view of the San Francisco-based company's
financial problems, the government cut off the grant when $84.8
million had been drawn.

On Sept. 24, 2013, the Office of the United States Trustee for
Region 14 appointed a committee of unsecured creditors.

In October 2013, the bankruptcy judge cleared Ecotality to sell
most of the business to Car Charging Group Inc. for $3.3 million.
Two other buyers purchased other assets for $1 million in total.


EDGENET INC: Seeks More Time for Plan Exclusivity Pending Sale
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Edgenet Inc., a provider of cloud-based applications
and services, is seeking an extension of its exclusive right to
propose a Chapter 11 plan.

According to the report, so far, the company has a $6.5 million
offer from PCF Number 2 Inc. in Laguna Hills, California.  If a
Delaware bankruptcy judge grants the extension at a May 14
hearing, exclusive plan-filing rights will be extended two months
to July 13, the report related.

Mr. Rochelle separately reported that former owners of Edgenet
used the threat of litigation to negotiate changes in authority
for the provider of cloud-based applications and services to use
cash constituting collateral for secured lenders' claims.
According to the report, the former owners got an extension until
May 14 for starting litigation alleging defects in the $85 million
secured claim of Liberty Partners Lenders LLC, which claims a lien
on all assets.

The former owners didn't gain the right to sue Liberty over the
invalidity of the liens, the report said.  Instead, the bankruptcy
judge in an order said that merely filing papers for the right to
sue will stop Liberty's secured claims from becoming validated on
May 14.

                         About Edgenet Inc.

Edgenet, Inc., and Edgenet Holding Corp. are providers of cloud-
based content and applications that enable companies to sell more
products and services with greater ease across multiple channels
and devices.  Edgenet has three business locations: Waukesha, WI,
Brentwood, TN, and its main office in Atlanta, GA.  The Company
has 80 employees.

Edgenet Inc. and Edgenet Holding filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection in Delaware (Lead Case No. 14-10066) on Jan. 14, 2014.

Edgenet Inc. estimated assets of at least $10 million and
liabilities of $100 million to $500 million.

Raymond Howard Lemisch, Esq., at Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg
LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, serves as counsel to the Debtors;
Glass Ratner Advisory & Capital Group LLC is the financial
advisor; JMP Securities, LLC, is the investment banker, and Phase
Eleven Consultants, LLC, is the claims and noticing agent.

The U.S. Trustee has been unable to appoint an official unsecured
creditors committee as no sufficient interest has been generated
from creditors.  The U.S. Trustee, however, appointed an official
committee of Noteholders, comprised of holders of a segment of the
promissory notes Edgenet issued in 2004.


EL MIRAGE MARKET: Files Chapter 11 Weeks Before Foreclosure Sale
----------------------------------------------------------------
El Mirage Market Place, LLC, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 14-07114) on May 12, 2014, in
Phoenix, Arizona. Judge Madeleine C. Wanslee presides over the
case.  Carlos M. Arboleda, Esq., at Arboleda Brechner, serves as
bankruptcy counsel.

El Mirage listed total assets of $4.51 million and total
liabilities of $15.63 million.  The petition was signed by Joseph
A. David, managing member.

The filing comes less than a month before a scheduled foreclosure
sale of the Debtor's assets.  Lots 1 and 2, of El Mirage Market
Place, located at 12170 N. El Mirage Rd. El Mirage, Arizona, is
due to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder, at the law
offices of Quarles & Brady LLP, Two North Central Avenue, Phoenix,
Maricopa County, Arizona, on June 5, 2014 at 10:00 a.m.  The
Debtor's bankruptcy halts that sale.

The property served as collateral under a promissory note in the
original principal balance of $5,232,000 owed to:

     Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
     c/o Hudson Americas, LLC
     Its Attorney-in-Fact
     2711 North Haskell Ave., Suite 1800

     Telephone No. 602-229-5200

Foreclosure sale also has been set for June 5 with respect to the
assets of Joseph A. David and Christine M. David located at 1428
East Villa Maria Drive, in Phoenix.  Mr. David signed the
bankruptcy petition for El Mirage Market Place, LLC.  According to
a notice of the foreclosure sale, debt due to Wells Fargo is
presently $5,632,000.  Quarles & Brady's Mr. Gabriel also serves
as trustee.


ELBIT IMAGING: Widens Loss to NIS1.5 Billion in 2013
----------------------------------------------------
Elbit Imaging Ltd. reported a loss of NIS1.56 billion on
NIS360.59 million of total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31,
2013, as compared with a loss of NIS483.98 million on NIS418.48
million of total revenues in 2012.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2013, showed NIS4.56
billion in total assets, NIS4.97 billion in total liabilities and
a NIS408.63 million shareholders' deficit.

Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a member firm of Deloitte Touche
Tohmatsu, in Tel-Aviv, Israel, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2013.

On Nov. 14, 2013, Plaza Centers, Elbit Imaging's subsidiary,
announced that its board of directors has concluded that PC will
withhold payment on the upcoming maturities of its bonds and
approach its creditors with a restructuring plan.  Specifically,
PC's board resolved to withhold the repayment of approximately
EUR 15 million to its Polish bondholders due on Nov. 18, 2013; and
approximately additional EUR 17 million to Israeli bondholders due
on Dec. 31, 2013 (total of NIS 152 million).

On Nov. 18, 2013, PC, filed for reorganization proceedings with
the District Court of Amsterdam and submitted a restructuring plan
to the Court.  Pursuant to Dutch reorganization proceedings, the
Court has appointed an administrator.  PC's management in co-
operation with the administrator manages the affairs of the PC.
In practice, under such proceedings the administrator has a
supervisory role (rather than an initiative role), responsible
mainly to assure that there is no unauthorized leakage of
assets/funds from PC.

PC's ordinary unsecured creditors become subject to a stay and PC
has the ability to restructure its debts during the moratorium
with majority consent of its creditors.

Main features of PC's debt restructuring plan include:

  1. Deferral of payment obligations to PC?s creditors for a
     period of three to four years, or shorter if cash flow
     permits;

  2. Allotment of options to purchase 9.9 percent of PC's shares
     at an exercise price of GBP 0.25 per share;

  3. increased interest compensation to by 1.5 percent to
     bondholders;

  4. negative pledge on all the PC and its subsidiaries' assets;

  5. potential issuing of rights by shareholders; and

  6. dividend distribution restriction.

The meeting of creditors to approve the plan is scheduled to
June 26, 2014.  The bondholders have the right to accept or to
refuse the above mentioned features of the debt restructuring
plan.  Such refusal will lead to the liquidation of PC.

"The above described raise substantial doubt about PC's ability to
continue as a going concern," the auditors noted.

                           CEO Terminated

Elbit Imaging has formally notified Mr. Mordechay Zisser that he
will not continue as the Company's chief executive officer and
executive president, effective March 31, 2014.  The term of the
agreement between the Company and Europe Israel (M.M.S.) Ltd. for
the provision of management services by Mr. Zisser expired on
Aug. 1, 2013, and the term of the agreement between the Company
and Control Centers Ltd. for the provision of coordination,
planning, execution and supervision services to the Company's and
its subsidiaries' and affiliates' real estate projects expired on
May 31, 2011, but it continued to apply to certain real estate
projects that commenced prior to that date.  The Company is in
preliminary discussions regarding the possible engagement of Mr.
Zisser as a consultant to the Company.  However, no agreement has
yet been reached and there is no assurance that that agreement
will ultimately be reached.

The Company's board of directors is currently seeking a
replacement to serve as the Company's chief executive officer.

                     About Elbit Imaging Ltd.

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.

Since February 2013, Elbit has intensively endeavored 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.


ELIZABETH ARDEN: Moody's Affirms 'Ba3' CFR; Outlook Developing
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed Elizabeth Arden, Inc.'s (RDEN)
rating outlook to Developing from Stable. This follows the
company's announcement that it is exploring potential strategic
alternatives to enhance shareholder value, and its report of a
significant drop in revenue and earnings in its fiscal third
quarter. The Developing rating outlook reflects that RDEN's
strategic alternatives evaluation could lead to transactions that
are either positive or negative for creditors, as well the
potential for downward rating pressure if the company is unable to
improve its operating performance and reduce its high leverage.
Moody's affirmed RDEN's existing ratings including its Ba3
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) based on an expectation that the
company's cost reduction initiatives and gradual improvements in
international distribution will stabilize earnings over the next
year.

RDEN has not provided a time frame or details of the actions being
considered in the strategic alternatives evaluation. LG Household
& Health Care Ltd. (LGHHC) indicated in late April that it was
considering a possible acquisition of RDEN, and Moody's believes
other potential acquirers could emerge. An acquisition by a larger
entity that would accelerate the company's international growth
initiatives, or one that was otherwise financially stronger, could
be credit positive. Conversely, an asset split-up or leveraging
acquisitions would be credit negative if RDEN's existing debt
remains in place.

Actions that trigger the change of control provision in RDEN's
2021 note indenture provide bondholders some downside protection
in the event of a leveraging sale. Moody's would withdraw RDEN's
ratings if any transaction results in the redemption of its
existing debt.

Moody's took the following actions on Elizabeth Arden, Inc.:

Ratings Affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating at Ba3

Probability of Default Rating at Ba3-PD

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture at B1 (LGD 5, 70%)

Outlook, changed to Developing from Stable

Ratings Rationale

RDEN's Ba3 CFR reflects the limited cash flow generated from its
portfolio of well-known classic, celebrity, and designer-branded
fragrances and skin care products, greater reliance on
discretionary spending than other beauty and cosmetic categories,
modest scale, and high leverage. RDEN is attempting to increase
revenue in international markets where its fragrance market shares
are lower than in the U.S., and evolve its business mix with a
focus on skin care to reduce reliance on fragrance. Such
initiatives are occurring at a time when soft consumer demand is
contributing to a highly promotional environment in the U.S. and
other markets. RDEN is operating in a competitive market
environment that will challenge its ability to execute a quick
operational turnaround. Moody's anticipates continued near-term
earnings pressure, but that the company's growth and cost
initiatives will begin to gain some traction by the end of its
June 2015 fiscal year.

The company's SGL-2 speculative-grade liquidity rating reflects
its modest cash balance ($54 million as of 3/31/14), break even
projected free cash flow over the next 12 months, lack of near-
term debt maturities, and ample unused capacity under its $330
million asset based revolving credit facilities which expire in
January 2016. The company is reliant on the revolvers to cover its
highly seasonal cash flow, and Moody's projects revolver
borrowings will peak in a $125-$150 million range in the fall of
2014 as it builds inventory in advance of the holiday sales
period. Moody's expects that RDEN will remain comfortably above
the minimum availability thresholds in the revolver to avoid
triggering the minimum 1.1x fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR)
maintenance covenant. However, Moody's projects only a modest
EBITDA cushion within the FCCR covenant in the event the covenant
applies.

RDEN's ratings are unlikely to be upgraded unless the company
improves its scale and product diversity such that earnings and
free cash flow are stronger and more stable. The company would
need to sustain an EBIT margin above 10%, debt-to-EBITDA leverage
below 2.5x (excluding seasonal borrowings), and comfortably
positive free cash flow. A strong liquidity position is also
necessary for an upgrade. An acquisition by a larger and more
financially conservative company could lead to an upgrade of the
bond rating if the bonds are not redeemed.

RDEN's ratings could be downgraded if earnings weaken due to
ongoing softness in consumer demand, continued competitive
promotional activity, market share erosion, or an inability to
rebound from the recent sharp drop in earnings. Debt-to-EBITDA
(excluding seasonal borrowings) exceeding 4.5x could result in a
downgrade. Debt-financed share repurchases, acquisitions, an
outcome from the strategic alternatives evaluation that was credit
negative, or a deterioration of liquidity could also lead to a
downgrade.

RDEN, headquartered in Miami, FL, is a global beauty products
company with a broad portfolio of branded prestige fragrance, skin
care and cosmetics sold in approximately 100 countries worldwide.
RDEN markets more than 100 company brands and distributes an
additional 300 brands. Revenue for the LTM 3/31/14 period was
approximately $1.2 billion.


ENCOMPASS DIGITAL: Moody's Rates $295MM First Lien Debt 'B2'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a B2 rating to Encompass
Digital Media, Inc.'s proposed $265 million first-lien term loan
maturing 2021 and $30 million first-lien revolving credit facility
maturing 2019; and Caa2 rating to the new $75 million second-lien
term loan maturing 2022. In connection with this rating action,
Moody's affirmed Encompass' B3 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and
B3-PD Probability of Default Rating (PDR). The rating outlook
remains stable.

Proceeds from the new term loans will refinance the existing term
loan B due 2017 (approximately $262 million outstanding) and
retire other outstanding obligations, including: $21 million of
borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility;
approximately $32.8 million of Macquarie Capital provided 10%
subordinated debt; and $17.4 million of deferred payout and
milestone payment obligations to TIBA Satellite Services, which
was acquired in November 2012. The first-lien term loan will
benefit from upstream domestic and first-tier foreign wholly-owned
subsidiary guarantees and be secured by a first-lien security
interest on Encompass' US assets and 65% of the voting stock of
its foreign subsidiaries. The second-lien term loan will benefit
from the same collateral package and guarantees as the first-lien
instruments but on a second-priority lien basis. Moody's views the
refinancing transaction favorably due to the maturity extensions
and comparatively lower interest rate on the new term loans, which
will reduce cash interest expense by around $3.5 million per
annum. Encompass also plans to replace the existing $30 million
revolver due 2017 with a new $30 million first-lien revolving
credit facility, which we expect to be undrawn at closing.

Ratings Assigned:

Issuer: Encompass Digital Media, Inc.

  $30 Million First-Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2019 --
  B2 (LGD-3, 35%)

  $265 Million First-Lien Term Loan due 2021 -- B2 (LGD-3, 35%)

  $75 Million Second-Lien Term Loan due 2022 -- Caa2 (LGD-5, 84%)

Ratings Affirmed:

Issuer: Encompass Digital Media, Inc.

  Corporate Family Rating -- B3

  Probability of Default Rating -- B3-PD

The assigned ratings are subject to review of final documentation
and no material change in the terms and conditions of the
transaction as advised to Moody's. Moody's will withdraw the B2
ratings on the existing first-lien credit facilities upon full
repayment.

Ratings Rationale

Encompass' B3 CFR reflects the high pro forma leverage of 6.7x
total debt to EBITDA (as of fiscal year ended March 31, 2014
including Moody's standard adjustments), which primarily stems
from the February 2012 leveraged buyout (LBO) transaction by Court
Square Capital Partners. Moody's anticipates Encompass will reduce
adjusted leverage to around 6x (similar to other B3 rated global
cross industry peers) by FY16 as a result of EBITDA growth driven
by continued secular outsourcing trends from Tier-1 media
customers seeking to reduce operating expenses, new international
channel launches and increasing online video streaming and video-
on-demand (VOD) consumption. Despite the reduction in interest
expense, Encompass has limited ability to repay debt from internal
sources as a result of the sizable pro forma cash interest burden
(approximately $21 million per annum), which will consume about
30% of EBITDA. Nonetheless, we expect modestly positive free cash
flow in FY15 resulting in free cash flow to adjusted debt in the
low-single digit range. Ratings are constrained by the company's
small revenue base, customer concentration and the need to fund
incremental upfront capital expenditures as new contracts are
awarded or as the majority of existing contracts are expanded.
Given ownership by a private equity sponsor, ratings are also
constrained by the potential for shareholder-friendly actions
including additional debt-financed acquisitions and/or dividend
payments.

Ratings are supported by the contractual or recurring nature of
75% of Encompass' annual revenue and over $500 million revenue
backlog (as of 3/31/14), which will contribute nearly 80% of the
company's revenue over the rating horizon. Additional ratings
support is derived from Encompass' long-standing relationships
with blue-chip customers supported by long-term contracts that are
typically 5-7 years in length, contract renewal rates over 94%,
preferred vendor status, high switching costs and good geographic
diversity with a global network infrastructure that produces
meaningful barriers to entry. Given the maturation of US cable
channel growth, incremental demand for third-party origination and
distribution services is expected to be driven largely by the
outsourcing of upgraded content onto new platforms and into new
geographies, proliferation of multiple file formats, increasing
media consumption (primarily online video on PCs, smartphones,
tablets and gaming consoles), growth in overseas markets and
rising demand for disaster recovery services.

Liquidity is good given Encompass' modest free cash flow
generation and our expectation of full availability under the new
$30 million revolver at closing. To the extent Encompass chooses
to increase capital spending above the projected plan or
experiences a longer payback period, the liquidity profile could
possibly weaken.

Rating Outlook

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that total debt to
EBITDA will remain in the 6-7x range (Moody's adjusted) over the
rating horizon and Encompass' multi-year backlog will continue to
support consistent revenue performance. The outlook also
incorporates our expectation that Encompass' liquidity will be
good, Moody's adjusted EBITDA margins will remain at or above 27%
and management will be able to maintain capital expenditures at
forecasted levels, assuming no significant acquisitions.

What Could Change the Rating - UP

Ratings could be upgraded if total debt to EBITDA is sustained
comfortably at or below 5.5x (Moody's adjusted) and free cash flow
to debt of at least 5% (Moody's adjusted), reflecting organic
growth across all operating segments and improved EBITDA margins,
together with an expanded revenue backlog.

What Could Change the Rating - DOWN

Ratings could be downgraded if revenue or EBITDA fall short of
management's plan due to a decline in contract renewals or an
inability to develop new business resulting in delayed
deleveraging and prospective total debt to EBITDA sustained above
7x on a Moody's adjusted basis. A decrease in backlog or margin
erosion resulting in weakened liquidity including deterioration in
EBITDA cushion relative to financial maintenance covenant
requirements would likely create downward rating pressure. Sizable
debt-financed acquisitions and/or dividend payments could also
result in a downgrade.

Encompass Digital Media, Inc., headquartered in Stamford, CT, is a
leading provider of outsourced network origination and
transmission services to broadcasters, cable channels and other
media companies. Having completed the acquisition and integration
of the satellite services businesses of Crawford Communications in
January 2010, the content distribution businesses of Ascent Media
in February 2011 and TIBA Satellite Services in November 2012,
Encompass operates globally throughout the US, Europe, Asia and
Latin America. Roughly 77% of revenue is derived from full-time
channel origination and transmission, 16% from occasional-use
services and 7% from government services, digital media and other
services. Court Square Capital Partners owns approximately 85% of
the company with the remaining 15% owned by management. Revenue
totaled approximately $263 million for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2014.

ESP RESOURCES: Delays 2013 Annual Report
----------------------------------------
ESP Resources, Inc., was unable to timely file its annual report

without unreasonable effort and expense, to obtain and review the
information necessary to complete the preparation of its Form
10-K.

The Company expects to file its Form 10-K within the extension
period provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.

EVANS & SUTHERLAND: Delays 2013 Form 10-K for Analysis

time to analyze and complete the information to be contained in
the Company's 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013.

net loss of $2.19 million on $17.92 million of sales for the nine
months ended Sept. 28, 2012.  The Company's balance sheet at Sept.
27, 2013, showed $25.47 million in total assets, $50.35 million in

FARMERS MUTUAL: A.M. Best Affirms 'C++' Fin. Strength Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. has revised the outlook to stable from negative and
affirmed the financial strength rating of C++ (Marginal) and the
issuer credit rating of "b" of Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of Branch County (FMFBC) (Coldwater, MI).

The revised outlook represents the company's moderating
underwriting leverage, improving underwriting performance, more-
than-adequate balance sheet liquidity, recent addition to surplus
and its long-standing market presence in Michigan.  However, the
company's long-term trend of unprofitable results as indicated by
the negative returns on equity and revenue on a five- and 10-year
average basis has yet to be replaced by sustained profitability.
In recent years, declines in FMFBC's surplus have plateaued due to
an improvement of underwriting standards, and the company has been
able to add to surplus.  Additionally, due to its geographic
concentration of property risks in Michigan, the company remains
exposed to severe weather-related events and competitive and
regulatory market conditions.  Furthermore, FMFBC's expense ratio
continues to strain profitability, resulting in combined ratios
that consistently exceeded the composite.

Given the company's current stable outlook, A.M. Best does not
foresee downgrading or placing a negative outlook upon the ratings
in the near term.  However, this could occur if the company were
to resume incurring material losses in its capitalization; have a
further reduction in the profitability of its core book of
business, (despite recent corrective efforts); be unable to
contain its exposure to catastrophic events within its
underwriting footprint with the current set of preventative
measures; be unable to contain its current growth pattern; or have
substantial adverse reserve development relative to its peers, as
well as the industry's averages.  Positive rating actions could
occur if FMFBC continues to narrow its level of fluctuation in its
operating results and grow premium and capital at its current
planned rates.

GENERAL MOTORS: Recalls Another 2.7 Million Vehicles
----------------------------------------------------
Jeff Bennett and Joseph B. White, writing for The Wall Street
Journal, reported that General Motors Co. recalled an additional
2.7 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a variety of defects, and
said it would take a $200 million charge against second-quarter
earnings to cover the repair costs.

According to the report, the largest U.S. auto maker has recalled
nearly 12.8 million cars world-wide this year, including vehicles
equipped with a defective ignition switch that it has acknowledged
investigating for years without taking action. GM has linked 13
fatalities to the faulty switch.

Since the controversy over its delayed response, the Detroit
company reorganized its vehicle-safety management structure and
instituted new policies to act sooner on evidence of safety
defects, the report related.  GM's new vehicle-safety chief, Jeff
Boyer, said in a statement that the latest recalls reflect those
policies.

The latest recalls also came "as a result of NHTSA's investigative
efforts and continued engagement" with GM, a National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration spokeswoman said, the report further
related.

Most of the vehicles affected by the five new recalls were made in
the mid-2000s, although some are newer, the report said.  The
latest charge to earnings brings the auto maker's total cost to
date for the safety actions to $1.5 billion.

INDYMAC BANCORP: FDIC Loses on Bank Tax Refund in 9th Cir. Appeal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that unsecured creditors of IndyMac Bancorp Inc. for a
third time won a $55 million victory over the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp. on the question of whether the holding company or
the liquidated bank subsidiary is entitled to a tax refund.

According to Mr. Rochelle, the question has received differing
answers from different courts. The latest decision was handed down
on April 21 by the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco dealing
with the IndyMac tax refund.

In April 2012, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sheri Bluebond issued a
report and recommendation where she concluded that the bankrupt
holding company owned the tax refund, with the FDIC, as receiver
for the bank, having only an unsecured claim, the report related.
Her recommendation was upheld by a federal district judge. The
FDIC appealed to the Ninth Circuit appeals court in San Francisco
and lost again.

In a five-page unsigned opinion, the three-judge appellate court
said that California law allows families of company to decide by
contract how they will handle tax refunds among themselves, the
report further related.  In IndyMac's case, the tax-sharing
agreement didn't establish a "principal-agent" relationship, the
court said, and didn't give the bank subsidiary any control.

Therefore, there was no trust relationship and thus no valid
argument that the holding company held the refund in trust for the
benefit of the bank subsidiary, the report added.

The appeal in the circuit court is FDIC v. Siegel (In re IndyMac
Bancorp Inc.), 12-56218, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit (San Francisco).

                     About Indymac Bancorp

Based in Pasadena, California, IndyMac Bancorp Inc. (NYSE:IMB) --
http://www.indymacbank.com/-- is the holding company for IndyMac
Bank FSB, a hybrid thrift/mortgage bank that originated mortgages
in all 50 states of the United States.  Through its hybrid thrift-
mortgage bank business model, IndyMac designed, manufactured, and
distributing cost-efficient financing for the acquisition,
development, and improvement of single-family homes.  IndyMac also
provided financing secured by single-family homes to facilitate
consumers' personal financial goals and strategically invests in
single-family mortgage-related assets.

On July 11, 2008, the Office of Thrift Supervision closed IndyMac
Bank and appointed FDIC as the bank's receiver.  Thacher Proffitt
& Wood LLP was engaged as counsel to the FDIC.

Indymac Bancorp filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
C.D. Cal. Case No. 08-21752) on July 31, 2008.  Representing
the Debtor are Dean G. Rallis, Jr., Esq., and John C. Weitnauer,
Esq.  Bloomberg noted that Indymac had about $32.01 billion in
assets as of July 11, 2008.  In court documents, IndyMac disclosed
estimated assets of $50 million to $100 million and estimated
debts of $100 million to $500 million.


INTERFAITH MEDICAL: Plan Hearing Adjourned to May 23
----------------------------------------------------
The bankruptcy court has adjourned the May 12 hearing to consider
confirmation of Interfaith Medical Center, Inc.'s Chapter 11 plan
to May 23, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern Time), with additional time
available on May 30 at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) to the extent, if
any, necessary.

The Debtor believes the Plan would maximize returns to IMC's
creditors and maximize the provision of health care services to,
as well as the preservation and creation of health care jobs in,
IMC's community.

The Plan contemplates satisfaction of the prepetition secured
creditor and DIP lender The Dormitory Authority of the State of
New York's claims through transfer to DASNY's designee of certain
real property and real property leases (which assets primarily
will be leased to the Reorganized Debtor). DASNY is slated to
have a less than 50% recovery on account of its secured claims
(Class 4).

The Reorganized Debtor will retain certain operating assets and
certain real property leases, which the Reorganized Debtor then
will use to provide healthcare services in the Debtor's community.

The Plan contemplates the formation of a liquidating trust as of
the Effective Date, which will receive, liquidate, and distribute
the net proceeds of certain assets of the Debtor to holders of
general unsecured claims.

The Debtor notes that acceptance of the Plan by holders of general
unsecured claims (Class 6) would benefit such holders as then: (a)
DASNY would waive any distribution in its allowed Class 6 Claim of
not less than $100 million; and (b) all funds available for
distributions from the liquidating trust would go to allowed
claims in Class 6 and would not be available for any potential
shortfall in funding available or reserved for the payment of
allowed administrative claims and allowed claims in Classes 1, 2,
and 3.  The Disclosure Statement does not provide for the
estimated percentage recovery for general unsecured creditors.

Equity holders are not receiving anything under the Plan.

The voting deadline was May 5 and the deadline for plan objections
was May 8.

April 11, 2014 is available for free at:

available for free at:

  http://bankrupt.com/misc/Interfaith_Medical_1st_Am_Plan_Blackline.pdf

                 Committee Confirmation Objections

The Creditors Committee argues that the Plan cannot be confirmed
on these grounds:

  -- The Plan improperly treats DASNY's claims;

  -- The Plan does not satisfy the requirements of Sections 1122,
1123, and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.  It does not provide for
payment in full of administrative claims, priority claims, or
postpetition medical malpractice claims in violation of Section
1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

  -- The Plan also impermissibly provides for the estimation or
liquidation of medical malpractice claims by the bankruptcy court
in violation of 28 U.S.C. Sec. 157(b)(2)(B) and 157(b)(5).

  -- The Plan grants impermissible non-debtor releases.

With respect to DASNY, the Committee points out that DASNY was a
prepetition lender and thereby held certain prepetition secured
and unsecured claims against the Debtor.  After the Petition Date,
DASNY became the DIP Lender and thereby holds certain DIP claims.
The Committee believes that the Court is likely to find that the
value of DASNY's prepetition collateral is less than the value of
DASNY's DIP Claims and its postpetition adequate protection
Claims.  Accordingly, the Committee believes that all of DASNY's
prepetition Claims are now general unsecured claims that will vote
as part of Class 6, and that the postpetition claims in Class 4
(secured claims) are not eligible to vote.

                       Disclosure Statement

Interfaith Medical in April obtained approval of the disclosure
statement explaining its First Amended Chapter 11 Plan.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors and certain unions asserted in their
disclosure statement objections that DASNY, which is the DIP
lender, is not providing sufficient amounts for payment of
postpetition administrative expense and priority claims.  DASNY
disputed the allegations, saying that it will provide sufficient
funds to pay all such administrative expense claims and will
establish disputed claims reserves for the estate of all such
claims that have yet to be allowed.

INTERFAITH MEDICAL: Former Board Member Seeks Case Dismissal
------------------------------------------------------------
Julia James, a former member of Interfaith Medical Center, Inc.'s
board of trustees, filed with the bankruptcy court on May 9 a
motion to dismiss IMC's Chapter 11 case.

Ms. James says she was a member of the board of trustees during
the bankruptcy proceeding until removed from the board solely
because of her notification to the Court of irregularities.

"While it is not a prerequisite for a petitioner for
reorganization to allege or show insolvency or inability to pay
debts as they mature, the Debtor and its largest secured creditor,
the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York have fraudulently
petitioned and/or represented to the Court that the Interfaith
lacks the ability to pay its debts."

Ms. James seeks to dismiss the bankruptcy filing on the basis of
bankruptcy fraud and failure to propose a Chapter 11 plan in good
faith.

Ms. James, acting pro se, claims that the Debtor knowingly made a
false entry relating to its financial affairs, and the Debtor's
operating cash was artificially reported low by intentional
failure to bill timely.  She alleges that loss reserves for
Medicaid and Medicare receivables were grossly and materially
overstated in order to manipulate income reported in its
bankruptcy schedules. As to the Plan, she points out that the Plan
is not fair or equitable to unsecured creditors.

of liquidation.

Gil A. Miller of Rocky Mountain Advisory, the Debtors'
professional accountants and tax advisors in the bankruptcy cases,
will serve as the initial liquidating trustee.

In its findings and conclusions regarding the Plan, the Court
affirmed that all of the applicable requirements for confirmation
set forth in 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1129 have been satisfied.

All classes of claims have accepted the Plan.  According to
Debtor's counsel Steven C. Strong, of Parsons Kinghorn Harris,
only holders of claims in Class 1 (priority claims) and Class 4
(general unsecured claims) submitted qualified ballots, and the
two classes accepted the Plan by affirmative vote of more than
two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the
allowed claims in each class.  Equity holders, which are not
receiving anything, were deemed to reject the Plan.

The Internal Revenue Service submitted an objection to
confirmation but later withdrew the objection following
negotiations with the Debtor.

The IRS objection suggested that Infinia should have filed Form
945 returns (regarding withholdings from nonpayroll distributions)
with the IRS for the tax years ending December 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2013.  Infinia has argued that it is no longer
responsible for filing those returns after Infinia changed the way
its 401(k) plan was administered in December 2011.

The hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan was held April
14.

IRISH BANK: Sells 4,500 U.S.-Based Loans With $8.57B in Balances
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Irish Bank Resolution Corp., formed to complete the
liquidation of Ireland's Anglo Irish Bank Corp. and Irish
Nationwide Building Society, is selling more than 4,500 loans with
combined balances of about 6.2 billion euros ($8.57 billion).

According to the report, although a U.S. judge previously
determined that the Irish court is presiding over the so-called
foreign-main bankruptcy, selling the loans requires U.S. court
approval because they were either made to American borrowers, have
collateral in the U.S. or were guaranteed by U.S. citizens.

The loans being sold, referred to by IBRC as Stone U.S. Loans,
were made to more than 2,500 borrowers, the report related.  IBRC
effectively conducted an auction already, so none will be held.

There are six buyers, including Deutsche Bank AG London Branch,
the report further related.  About half of the Stone U.S. loans
remain to be sold.

                    About Irish Bank Resolution

Irish Bank Resolution Corp., the liquidation vehicle for what was
once one of Ireland's largest banks, filed a Chapter 15 petition
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-12159) on Aug. 26, 2013, to protect
U.S. assets of the former Anglo Irish Bank Corp. from being
seized by creditors.  Irish Bank Resolution sought assistance
from the U.S. court in liquidating Anglo Irish Bank Corp. and
Irish Nationwide Building Society.  The two banks failed and were
merged into IBRC in July 2011.  IBRC is tasked with winding them
down and liquidating their assets.  In February, when Irish
lawmakers adopted the Irish Bank Resolution Corp., IBRC was
placed into a special liquidation in the Irish High Court to
complete liquidation and distribution of the two banks' assets.

IBRC's principal asset as of June 2012 was a loan portfolio
valued at some EUR25 billion (US$33.5 billion). About 70 percent
of the loans were to Irish borrowers. Some 5 percent of the
portfolio was under U.S. law, according to a court filing.  Total
liabilities in June 2012 were about EUR50 billion, according
to a court filing.

Most assets in the U.S. have been sold already.  IBRC is involved
in lawsuits in the U.S.

IBRC was granted protection under Chapter 15 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in December 2013.

Kieran Wallace and Eamonn Richardson of KPMG have been named the
special liquidators.


KOPPERS' HOLDINGS: Moody's Affirms Ba2 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Koppers' Holdings Inc.'s
Ba3 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") and upgraded the Senior
Unsecured Notes to Ba3 from B1. Moody's also assigned an SGL-2
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to Koppers. The action follows
additional disclosure regarding Koppers' plans to finance the
acquisition of Osmose's wood preservation chemicals and railroad
services business. Proceeds from a new $300 million secured term
loan and a $210 million draw on a new $500 million secured
revolving credit facility will be used to fund the $460 million
acquisition, repay existing revolver borrowings, and pay
transaction-related fees and expenses. Concurrent with the
transaction, the unsecured notes will be ratably secured and rank
pari passu with the new secured debt. The outlook is stable

"The proposed transaction exhausts Koppers' capacity in the Ba3
rating for meaningful debt-funded acquisitions until it has
successfully integrated this acquisition and reduced adjusted
leverage below four times," said Ben Nelson, Moody's Assistant
Vice President and lead analyst for Koppers Holdings, Inc.

The actions:

Issuer: Koppers Holdings, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Ba3;

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Ba3-PD;

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-2;

Outlook, Stable.

Issuer: Koppers, Inc.

$300 million Senior Notes due 2019; Upgraded to Ba3 (LGD3 48%)
from B1 (LGD4 69%);

Outlook, Stable.

The ratings are subject to Moody's review of the final terms and
conditions of the proposed transactions.

Ratings Rationale

The Ba3 Corporate Family Rating is principally constrained by weak
credit metrics for the rating category on pro forma basis for the
Osmose acquisition and integration- and industry-related risks
that Moody's believes will make it difficult for the company to
return credit metrics to appropriate levels. The rating is also
constrained by legal and environmental risks, exposure to cyclical
end markets, and high customer concentration. The rating considers
favorably solid operational and geographic diversity, strong
market shares in certain businesses, favorable cost positions in
part due to back-integration, demonstrated stability in difficult
economic environments, a dearth of available substitutes for some
key products, and good liquidity.

Moody's views the acquisition as a good fit strategically.
Osmose's copper-based wood preservation chemicals business will
increase Koppers' exposure to the recovering residential housing
market where Koppers' creosote-based wood preservatives are
banned. Profitability should continue to improve in this business
in the intermediate term. Exposure to copper, a key raw material
for Osmose's chemicals, is very manageable considering Koppers'
size and solid liquidity arrangements. The integration should be
manageable as the investment thesis does not entail significant
operational consolidations. The principal uncertainty beyond the
cyclicality of housing-related end markets is the industry
structure considering the recent changes in ownership.

Moody's does not envision significant organic revenue growth on
combined basis at least through 2014. Industry conditions have
been unfavorable for the CMC segment, particularly in carbon pitch
and phthalic anhydride. Ongoing weakness in the aluminum industry
will make it difficult to achieve a supply/demand balance
supportive of higher pricing in the near-term. The trend toward
greater use of non-phthalate plasticizers will work against
otherwise improving fundamentals in construction-related end
markets, important drivers for demand for phthalic anhydride.
Modest growth is likely in the RUPS segment and acquired
businesses. However, we expect profitability will improve as the
company achieves acquisition-related synergies and continues to
address low operating rates in certain geographies for Koppers.
The company has initiated an operational restructuring program
with a planned shut-down of a facility in the Netherlands and
curtailment of a production facility in the United States.

Moody's measures financial leverage in the mid 4 times
(Debt/EBITDA) and interest coverage near 4 times (EBITDA/Interest)
on a pro forma basis for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014.
One-time expenses associated with operational restructuring
program, acquisition integration, and financing transactions
likely will result in negative free cash flow in 2014. The company
should start to see the benefits of these actions with retained
cash flow of at least 10% of debt and positive free cash flow in
2015. This should position the company to reduce leverage to below
4 times by the end of 2015. Debt reduction will be an important
component of achieving these metrics if business conditions remain
soft. Absent debt reduction beyond required amortization, the
company would need to increase EBITDA (without considering Moody's
standard analytical adjustments) to an annualized run-rate of at
least $230 million. The company generated just over $140 million
of EBITDA for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and less than
$200 million on a pro forma basis for the acquired business.

The SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating reflects good
liquidity to support operations for at least the next four
quarters. The short-term liquidity rating assumes that free cash
flow will be modestly negative in 2014 due to expenses required to
achieve cost reductions and acquisition synergies, but turn
positive in 2015. Koppers has just under $350 million of available
liquidity on a pro forma basis at March 31, 2014. The credit
agreement is expected to contain two financial maintenance
covenants: (i) total secured leverage ratio set initially at 5.5x;
and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio set at 1.1x for the life of
the facility. Moody's expects the company to maintain compliance
with these covenants in the near-term.

The stable outlook assumes that credit metrics will improve over
the next 12-18 months. Moody's could downgrade the rating if the
company does not stay on track to reduce leverage to below 4 times
and generate retained cash flow-to-debt in the low-to-mid teens by
the end of 2015. Structural changes in the company's cash flow
profile or any material unfavorable developments with respect to
environmental and legal concerns could also have negative rating
implications. Moody's could upgrade the rating with expectations
for leverage sustained below 3 times, free cash flow consistently
in excess of 10% of debt, and solid liquidity to cover unforeseen
expenses.

Koppers Holdings, Inc. produces carbon compounds and treated wood
products used in the aluminum, chemical, railroad, and steel
industries. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pa., the company
generated $1.4 billion in revenue for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2014.


LEHMAN BROTHERS: SunCal Closes Escrow on Purchase of Oakland Site
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SunCal, one of the largest real estate development companies in
the U.S. that specializes in large-scale, mixed-use master-planned
communities, has closed escrow on the purchase of the 167-acre Oak
Knoll property in Oakland, California, from the Lehman Brothers
estate.  The transaction was concluded on Friday, May 9, for an
undisclosed sum.

The parcel in the exclusive Oakland Hills area was the site of the
former Oakland Naval Medical Center that SunCal and its former
financial partner, Lehman Brothers, had been redeveloping into a
master-planned community before Lehman collapsed in 2008 during
the global economic crisis.  The Naval complex treated thousands
of wounded military personnel during World War II and continued
serving through the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War and
peacetime before it closed in 1996.

During its previous involvement with the site that began in 2005,
SunCal conducted extensive planning and on-site work.  This
included community outreach; initiating the entitlement process;
clean-up and demolition; and designing a mixed-use community
planned to include 960 homes, 82,000 square feet of
commercial/retail, and 50 acres of parks and open space.

"We're excited to resume our involvement with this very special
site and we look forward to again working toward making this a new
community that all of Oakland can be proud of," said Frank Faye,
SunCal Executive Vice President.  "This is one of the most
significant master-planned community opportunities in the San
Francisco Bay area, and it is particularly satisfying to once
again be at the helm of Oak Knoll's development."

"The City of Oakland is thrilled to have SunCal back on the
project," said Larry Reid, Vice Mayor, City of Oakland.  "They
worked well with our City and we know they can deliver a
development that will be an asset to my district and all of
Oakland."

Beginning in 2009 while the property was on hold during Lehman's
bankruptcy process, SunCal managed the general cleanup, weed
abatement and demolition of numerous buildings throughout the site
on behalf of the bankruptcy trustee.  The last building to be
demolished was the 11-story main hospital building, which was
imploded with dynamite in April 2011 before a festive gathering of
city officials, area residents, former Navy staff and numerous
news outlets.

                      About Lehman Brothers

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. -- http://www.lehman.com/-- was
the fourth largest investment bank in the United States.  For
more than 150 years, Lehman Brothers has been a leader in the
global financial markets by serving the financial needs of
corporations, governmental units, institutional clients and
individuals worldwide.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case No. 08-13555) on Sept. 15, 2008.  Lehman's bankruptcy
petition disclosed US$639 billion in assets and US$613 billion in
debts, effectively making the firm's bankruptcy filing the
largest in U.S. history.  Several other affiliates followed
thereafter.

Affiliates Merit LLC, LB Somerset LLC and LB Preferred Somerset
LLC sought for bankruptcy protection in December 2009.

The Debtors' bankruptcy cases were initially handled by Judge
James M. Peck.  In March 2014, the case was reassigned to Judge
Shelley C. Chapman after Judge James M. Peck resigned to join
Morrison & Foerster LLP as co-chairman of the restructuring and
insolvency practice.

Harvey R. Miller, Esq., Richard P. Krasnow, Esq., Lori R. Fife,
Esq., Shai Y. Waisman, Esq., and Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at
Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP, in New York, represent Lehman.  Epiq

Esq., at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, in New York, serve
as counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.
Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital, Inc., is the Committee's
investment banker.

On Sept. 19, 2008, the Honorable Gerard E. Lynch of the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered an
order commencing liquidation of Lehman Brothers, Inc., pursuant
to the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act (Case
No. 08-CIV-8119 (GEL)).  James W. Giddens has been appointed as
trustee for the SIPA liquidation of the business of LBI.

The Bankruptcy Court approved Barclays Bank Plc's purchase of
Lehman Brothers' North American investment banking and capital
markets operations and supporting infrastructure for US$1.75
billion.  Nomura Holdings Inc., the largest brokerage house in
Japan, purchased LBHI's operations in Europe for US$2 plus the
retention of most of employees.  Nomura also bought Lehman's
operations in the Asia Pacific for US$225 million.

Lehman emerged from bankruptcy protection on March 6, 2012, more
than three years after it filed the largest bankruptcy in U.S.
history.  The Chapter 11 plan for the Lehman companies other than
the broker was confirmed in December 2011.

Lehman made its first payment of $22.5 billion to creditors in
April 2012, a second payment of $10.2 billion on Oct. 1, 2012,
and a third distribution of $14.2 billion on April 4, 2013.  The
brokerage is yet to make a first distribution to non-customers,
although customers are being paid in full.


MERVYN'S LLC: ECJ Wins Summary Judgment in Polacheck Suit
---------------------------------------------------------
Ervin Cohen & Jessup LLP announced that after two years of
litigation, it has secured the dismissal of all claims against its
client, Art Polacheck, and successfully defended the $11M lawsuit
initiated by Plaintiff GRL-Mesa Investments, LLC.

On May 13, 2014, ECJ attorneys Randall Leff, Barry MacNaughton,
and Rusty Selmont, won their Motion for Summary Judgment on
plaintiff's breach of contract and unfair business practices
causes of action.  Having already previously convinced the court
to dismiss Plaintiff's other nine causes of action, ECJ thus
achieved a complete defense of Plaintiff's lawsuit and ensured it
take nothing from its claims.

Polacheck was Plaintiff's real estate agent and assisted with
Plaintiff's 2008 purchase of an $11M property in Arizona that
housed a Mervyn's.  Plaintiff alleged that Polacheck failed to
discover that Mervyn's was in financial distress, which ultimately
led to its bankruptcy a few months after the transaction closed.
ECJ successfully defended the action on the grounds that many of
the claims were barred by the statute of limitations, but that in
any event, there was no evidence that Polacheck had duty to
perform such an investigation or that any real estate professional
could have known about Mervyn's secret imperiled condition.

"We are obviously thrilled with Judge Palazuelos's decision,"
Mr. Selmont said.  "We had been cautioning the Court all along
that this case lacked a viable legal theory and, ultimately, she
agreed.  Our client did everything that was expected out of a real
estate professional and then some, and he deserves to have this
unfounded case finally put to rest."

Ervin Cohen & Jessup is a full-service law firm that provides a
broad range of business-related legal services including

controversies; intellectual property and technology; corporate

MINT LEASING: Posts $3.2 Million Net Income in 2013
---------------------------------------------------
The Mint Leasing, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing
net income of $3.22 million on $6.45 million of total revenues for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2013 as compared with a net loss of
$238,969 on $9.97 million of total revenues in 2012.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, the Company had $19.08 million in total
assets, $15.07 million in total liabilities and $4.01 million in
total stockholders' equity.

"We do not currently have any commitments of additional capital
from third parties or from our sole officer and director or
majority shareholders.  We can provide no assurance that
additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at
all.  If we choose to raise additional capital through the sale of
debt or equity securities, such sales may cause substantial
dilution to our existing shareholders and/or trigger the anti-
dilution protection of the Warrants.  If we are not able to obtain
additional funding to repay the Amended Loan and our other
outstanding notes payable and debt facilities, we may be forced to
abandon or curtail our business plan, which may cause any
investment in the Company to become worthless.  Our independent
auditor has expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to
continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to continue as a
going concern, we may be forced to file for bankruptcy protection,
may be forced to cease our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and the value of our securities may decline
in value or become worthless," the Company said in the Annual
Report.

Monarch Community Bancorp, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing
a net loss available to common stockholders of $2.55 million on

MONEY CENTERS: To Have Chapter 11 Trustee
-----------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that trustees are seldom appointed for companies in
Chapter 11 reorganization.  Money Centers of America Inc., a
provider of cash machines for casinos, is an exception to the
rule, Mr. Rochelle noted.

The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians sought a trustee to oust
management 10 days after the March 21 Chapter 11 filing, which
occurred when the tribe was on the brink of having a receiver
appointed after obtaining a $6.7 million judgment in connection
with cash machines at its two casinos in Minnesota, the report
related.

At a hearing on April 23, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher S.
Sontchi signed an order calling for a trustee to oust management
of the company and take control of a subsidiary, the report
further related.

Law360 reported that Money Centers and its senior secured lender
pushed back against attempts to have the Chapter 11 trustee
appointed in its Delaware bankruptcy case, arguing that do so
would scuttle the proposal to sell the debtor's assets in a
bankruptcy auction.

Casino check-cashing firm MCA denied the allegations of dishonest
conduct and gross mismanagement that prompted the trustee
requests, calling the allegations "spurious and inflammatory" and
saying handing the case to an outside overseer would disrupt steps
already taken to prepare for a sale under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code, Law360 said, citing court filings.

MCA's senior secured lender, Mercantile Refinance LP, joined in
the opposition to the appointment, arguing that a proposal the
debtor floated April 2 for a sale process was the "best choice"
and should be allowed to go forward, Law360 related.

Money Centers of America, Inc. filed a Chapter 11 petition
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 14-10603) on March 21, 2014, in Trenton,
New Jersey.  Kevin Scott Mann, Esq., at Cross & Simon, LLC in
Wilmington, in Delaware, serves as counsel to the Debtor.  The
Debtor estimated up to $1 million to $10 million in both assets
and liabilities.  The petition was signed by Christopher
Wolfington, Chairman & CEO.


MONTANA ELECTRIC: Debtor Plan Modified After Noteholders Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------
Following a deal with members and noteholders, Southern Montana
Electric Generation and Transmission Cooperative, Inc., on April
21, filed an amendment to its reorganization plan and the court-
approved disclosure statement filed by the former Chapter 11
trustee.

The Plan provides for the continued operation of the Debtor for an
estimated four-year period.

The Plan is filed with the support of the four remaining members
of the Debtor consisting of Tongue River Electric Cooperative,
Inc. located in Ashland, Montana; Fergus Electric Cooperative,
Inc. located in Lewistown, Montana; Mid-Yellowstone Electric
Cooperative, Inc. located in Hysham, Montana; and Beartooth
Electric Cooperative, Inc. located in Red Lodge, Montana.

The Plan is also supported by all of the secured noteholders of
the Debtor consisting of The Prudential Insurance Company of
America, Universal Prudential Arizona Reinsurance Company,
Prudential Investment Management, Inc. as successor in interest to
Forethought Life Insurance Company, and Modern Woodmen of America.

Finally, incorporated within the Plan is a settlement reached with
all of the construction lienholders which recorded mechanic liens
against property of the Estate.

According to the latest iteration of the Disclosure Statement, the
Plan reflects a comprehensive settlement among the Debtor, the
members and the noteholders which, from an Estate perspective,
substantially improves upon the terms of a negotiated settlement
between the Noteholders and the Trustee.  The Plan resolves the
issue of the value of the Noteholders' collateral and eliminates
the Noteholders' current claim for a $46 million "make-whole
amount".  The settlement reached with the Noteholders will result
in a material reduction of the Noteholders' debt, interest rate
relief for Reorganized Southern, and a much shorter period of time
term within which the Noteholders' restructured debt is repaid.
The Plan also provides for recoveries to other secured creditors
and distributions to unsecured creditors that are equal to if not
greater than what they would receive if the Debtor were to be
liquidated.

The Debtor said that despite its efforts which resulted in
settlements with virtually all major claim holders in the Chapter
11 case, the Debtor has not obtained the support of the Committee
as of the filing of the Disclosure Statement, however, the Debtor
continues to engage in settlement dialogue with counsel to the
Committee and remains optimistic that resolution can be reached
with the Committee prior to the date of any confirmation hearing.

The Amended Plan proposes to treat claims and interests as
follows:

  -- The secured claims of holders of Series 2010 A and Series
2010 B Notes will be allowed in an aggregate principal amount of
$22.25 million to be satisfied by way of (1) retention by the
indenture trustee and the noteholders of adequate protection
payments, (2) 4-year term promissory notes in the aggregate amount
of $21 million, (3) delivery to the noteholders of a pro rata
basis of the deposit held by Northwestern Energy in the amount of
$1.25 million and (iv) the $1 million of funding for the HGS
Holding Trust.

   -- Holders of general unsecured claims will each receive a pro
rata share of proceeds of avoidance actions up to an amount not to
exceed $1 million.  On the effective date, avoidance actions will
be transferred to a Committee representative.

   -- As to the member reserve account claims, the member reserve
accounts will be maintained in their current amounts, if any, and
held in trust by Reorganized Southern to ensure prompt payment of
the members' power bills.

                  About Southern Montana Electric

Based in Billings, Montana, Southern Montana Electric Generation
and Transmission Cooperative, Inc., was formed to serve five other
electric cooperatives.  The city of Great Falls later joined as
the sixth member.  Including the city, the co-op serves a
population of 122,000.  In addition to Great Falls, the service
area includes suburbs of Billings, Montana.

Southern Montana filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D.
Mont. Case No. 11-62031) on Oct. 21, 2011.  Southern Montana
estimated assets of $100 million to $500 million and estimated
debts of $100 million to $500 million.  Timothy Gregori signed the
petition as general manager.

Malcolm H. Goodrich, Esq., and Maggie W. Stein, Esq., at Goodrich
Law Firm, P.C., in Billings, Montana, serve as the Debtor's
counsel.

After filing for reorganization in October, the co-op agreed to a
request for appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee.  Lee A. Freeman
was appointed as the Chapter 11 trustee in December 2011.  He is
represented by Joseph V. Womack, Esq., at Waller & Womack, and
John Cardinal Parks, Esq., Bart B. Burnett, Esq., Robert M.
Horowitz, Esq., and Kevin S. Neiman, Esq., at Horowitz & Burnett,
P.C.

Harold V. Dye, Esq., at Dye & Moe, P.L.L.P., in Missoula, Montana,
represents the Unsecured Creditors' Committee as counsel.

On Nov. 26, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court removed Mr. Freeman as
Chapter 11 trustee for SME, at the behest of Fergus Electric
Cooperative Inc.  Judge Ralph Kirscher said changed circumstances,
such as agreement among the co-op's members on a liquidation plan,
eliminate the need for a trustee.


MSC SOFTWARE: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 corporate family rating
and B2-PD probability of default rating to MSC Software
Corporation. Moody's also assigned a B1 rating to its proposed
first lien debt and Caa1 to its proposed second lien debt. The new
debt will be used to refinance existing debt and pay a
distribution to shareholders. The company is owned by private
equity investors, Symphony Technology Group and Elliott
Management. The ratings outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The B2 corporate family rating reflects MSC's high leverage as a
result of the financing and the owners aggressive financial
policies but also considering its strong niche position in the
simulation and analysis software industry. The company has built a
strong niche providing finite element and related analytic
software to large customers in the automotive and aerospace and
defense industries. MSC has provided critical tools for these
industries for several decades. Demand for simulation and analysis
software is expected to grow at strong rates given its ability to
build and test virtual prototypes and shorten time-to-market of
new product designs. MSC however is expected to grow at more
modest rates given the maturity of much of its product lineup. If
not for the company's strong niche position and stable revenue
stream, the ratings would likely be lower given the high leverage,
relatively small size (2013 revenues $216 million) and modest
growth prospects.

Leverage at closing is approximately 7x based on December 2013
results pro forma for the proposed new debt (and 6.6x pro forma
for cost reductions implemented in the March 2014 quarter).
Leverage is expected to decline towards 6x and free cash flow to
debt is expected to improve to 7% over the next year based on a
full year of recent cost cuts and modest revenue growth. The
company is however considered weakly positioned in the B2
category.

The ratings could be downgraded if leverage is not on track to get
below 6x and free cash flow to debt not on track to get to 7%.
Though unlikely in the near term given the owners aggressive
financial policies, the ratings could be upgraded if leverage is
sustainably under 4.5x.

Liquidity is good based on an expected $20 million of cash on hand
at closing, an undrawn $10 million revolver and expectations of
over $30 million of free cash flow over the next year.

NEWLEAD HOLDINGS: MGP Seeks Add'l 2.85 Million Settlement Shares
----------------------------------------------------------------
MG Partners Limited, on May 8, requested 13,500,000 additional
settlement shares and on May 9, MGP requested 15,000,000
additional settlement shares pursuant to the terms of the
Settlement Agreement approved by the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of New York.  Following the issuances of the
above amounts, the Company will have approximately 506,029,119
shares outstanding, which outstanding amount includes recent share
issuances related to previously issued convertible notes, employee
grants, settlement shares and partial exercises of outstanding
preferred stock.

On Dec. 2, 2013, the Supreme Court entered an order approving,
among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of an
exchange pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, in accordance with a stipulation of settlement
among NewLead Holdings Ltd., a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of Bermuda, Hanover Holdings I, LLC, and MG

aggregate of $44,822,523 of past-due indebtedness of the Company,
which Hanover had purchased from certain creditors of the Company
pursuant to the terms of separate purchase agreements between
Hanover and each of those creditors, plus fees and costs.  The
Order provides for the full and final settlement of the Claim and
the Action.  The Settlement Agreement became effective and binding
upon the Company, Hanover and MGP upon execution of the Order by
the Court on Dec. 2, 2013.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement approved by the
Order, on Dec. 2, 2013, the Company issued and delivered to MGP,
as Hanover's designee, 175,000 shares (adjusted to give effect to
a 1 for 10 reverse stock split effective March 6, 2014) of the
Company's common stock, $0.01 par value.

shareholders' deficit.

EisnerAmper LLP, in New York, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the

the Company has incurred a net loss, negative operating cash
flows, a working capital deficiency, and shareholders' deficiency
and has defaulted under its credit facility agreements.  Those
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.


OCTAVIAR ADMIN: Chapter 15 Petitioners Fight Drawbridge
-------------------------------------------------------
Katherine Elizabeth Barnet and William John Fletcher -- in their
capacity as liquidators of Octaviar Administration Pty. Ltd., and
as duly authorized foreign representatives -- have asked the
Bankruptcy Court to overrule the objection filed by Drawbridge
Special Opportunities Fund LP to the petition seeking Chapter 15
recognition of bankruptcy proceedings involving Octaviar in
Australia.

According to the Petitioners, they are seeking recognition of the
Australian proceeding, the sort of proceeding that has been
previously recognized by courts throughout the United States.
Drawbridge's objection, the Petitioners said, is not based on the
Petitioners' failure to satisfy their burden under Chapter 15, but
rather, is simply to avoid being subject to legitimate claims
against it in the United States.  Drawbridge's remaining
objections, they added, boil down to a single, fundamentally
unsupportable assertion: that the Petitioners must not be
permitted to satisfy the requirements for granting recognition.

The Petitioners are represented by:

         Howard Seife, Esq.
         Andrew Rosenblatt, Esq.
         Francisco Vazquez, Esq.
         Eric Daucher, Esq.
         CHADBOURNE & PARKE LLP
         30 Rockefeller Plaza
         New York, NY 10112
         Tel: (212) 408-5100

Drawbridge stated that Octaviar has no US assets to preserve and
distribute to creditors; there is no litigation pending against it
in the US that must be stayed; and there are no assets to be
discovered in the US.  There is simply no relief the Court could
grant upon recognition of the second Chapter 15 petition that
would advance the objectives of Chapter 15.  Drawbridge said the
case is not about the relief for which Chapter 15 was intended.
Rather, it is all about the litigation tactics of the Petitioners,
who seek to use the Court to validate yet more unnecessary and
duplicative litigation in the US courts that must have been part
of their case.

Drawbridge asserted that (i) the Petitioners have failed to
satisfy the requirements of Section 109(a); the second Chapter 15
petition was an abuse of process; and at (iii) a minimum, the
Court must condition recognition on prohibiting petitioners from
bringing duplicative, unnecessary US litigation.

OGX PETROLEO: Batista Presents Defense in Insider-Trading Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dan Horch, writing for The New York Times' DealBook, reported that
the onetime Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista has begun his
formal defense against the insider-trading allegations brought by
Brazil?s main securities regulator, the C.V.M.

According to the report, federal prosecutors in the country are
also investigating Mr. Batista?s actions. But Mr. Batista?s
ultimate saving grace may be that no one in Brazil has ever gone
to jail for insider trading, and lawyers say that is unlikely to
change now. Based on the track record of previous cases, the worst
outcome Mr. Batista probably faces is a fine.

Ever since Mr. Batista?s six publicly listed firms began their
stock market collapse last year, minority shareholders have
accused him of foul play, the report related.

This April, an internal committee at the C.V.M. recommended that
Mr. Batista be charged with insider trading and manipulating stock
market prices in his petroleum exploration company, OGX, the
report further related.  The federal prosecutor?s office
subsequently opened a criminal investigation into the case.

Mr. Batista sold 126.6 million shares in OGX last May and June,
the report added.  On July 1, the company publicly acknowledged
that three of its most promising oil fields were probably not
viable, and its stock price plunged.

Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes
S.A., now known as Oleo e Gas, is an independent exploration and
production company with operations in Latin America.

OGX filed for bankruptcy in a business tribunal in Rio de Janeiro
on Oct. 30, 2013, case number 0377620-56.2013.8.19.0001.  The
bankruptcy filing puts $3.6 billion of dollar bonds into default
in the largest corporate debt debacle on record in Latin America.
The filing by the oil company that transformed Eike Batista into
Brazil's richest man followed a 16-month decline that wiped out
more than $30 billion of his personal fortune.

The filing, which in Brazil is called a judicial recovery, follows
months of negotiations to restructure the dollar bonds, in which
OGX sought to convert debt to equity and secure as much as $500
million in new funds. OGX said Oct. 29 that the talks concluded
without an agreement. The company's cash fell to about $82 million
at the end of September, not enough to sustain operations further
than December.


OPTA MINERALS: Resets Financial Covenant Ratios Following Waiver
----------------------------------------------------------------
Opta Minerals Inc. on May 14 disclosed that long-term borrowings
of $34.9 million have been reclassified to current borrowings as a
result of the default of certain financial covenants stipulated
under the Company's credit agreement.  Subsequent to March 31,
2014, the Company obtained a waiver in respect of these financial
covenant ratios and has reset certain financial covenant ratios
through to December 31, 2015.  The amended credit agreement also
resets pricing related to interest rates and fees.

The debt to equity ratio at March 31, 2014 was 1.10 to 1.00, and
at December 31, 2013 was 1.17 to 1.00.

The disclosure was made in Opta Minerals' earnings release for the
three months ended March 31, 2014, a copy of which is available
for free at http://is.gd/f2Btic

Opta Minerals is a vertically integrated provider of custom
process solutions and industrial mineral products used primarily

Saskatchewan, Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland,
Indiana, Michigan, New York, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Idaho, France,
Slovakia and Germany. Opta has one of the broadest product lines
in the industry.


OPTIM ENERGY: Walnut Creek Denied Standing to Sue Cascade, ECJV
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Brendan Linehan Shannon denied the request of
Walnut Creek Mining Company, an unsecured creditor of Optim Energy
LLC, for derivative standing to pursue claims for
recharacterization, equitable subordination, and breach of
fiduciary duties against Cascade Investments, L.L.C. and ECJV
Holdings, LLC on behalf of the Debtors.  Walnut Creek alleges that
the secured debt should be recharacterized as equity, equitably
subordinated, or otherwise set aside.  Walnut Creek believes that
the Debtors have colorable claims against Cascade and ECJV arising
out of an allegedly inequitable scheme by Cascade and ECJV to
transform themselves from equity holders to senior secured
lenders. Walnut Creek also argues that the 2008 increase in the
Wells Fargo credit facility from $1 billion to $1.25 billion was
insufficient to adequately address Optim Energy's liquidity needs,
and that Optim Energy was undercapitalized at the time the Wells
Fargo Credit Facility was amended in October 2008.  Walnut Creek
said the DIP Financing Orders entered in the case prevent the
Debtors from pursuing these claims, and because no committee of
unsecured creditors has been appointed in these chapter 11 cases,
Walnut Creek seeks leave of the Court, authority, and derivative
standing to commence and prosecute the Claims.

Judge Shannon, however, held that Walnut Creek has failed to
allege colorable claims in his May 13 Opinion available at
http://is.gd/xtwNkEfrom Leagle.com.  According to Judge Shannon,
when Optim Energy filed its bankruptcy petition in February 2014,
the filing constituted an event of default under the Wells Fargo
Credit Facility.  There is no dispute that Cascade and ECJV as
guarantors were obligated upon such an event of default to pay the
outstanding balance under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility.  There
is also no dispute that at such time the outstanding aggregate
principal amount of debt was approximately $712 million, which
amount Cascade paid to Wells Fargo on the Petition Date.  The
Court said there is no viable claim for breach of fiduciary duties
and Optim Energy was not undercapitalized in 2007 at the time the
Cascade Guarantees and Guaranty Reimbursement Agreement were
signed.  Judge Shannon also held that under the more stringent
standards applied to insiders, the facts alleged do not rise to
the level of wrongful conduct.

                       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-
fired.

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

Robert J. Dehney, Esq., at Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell
LLP; and Kurt Mayr, Esq., at Bracewell and Giuliani LLP represent
the Debtors as counsel.  The Debtors have employed Protiviti Inc.
as restructuring advisors; and Prime Clerk LLC as claims agent.

Optim Energy, LLC scheduled $6,948,418 in assets and $716,561,450
in liabilities.  Optim Energy Cedar Bayou 4, LLC, disclosed
$183,694,097 in assets and $717,646,180 in liabilities as of the
Chapter 11 filing.  The Debtors have $713 million of outstanding
principal indebtedness.

On Feb. 27, 2014, Roberta A. DeAngelis, U.S. Trustee for Region 3,
notified the Bankruptcy Court that she was unable to appoint an
official committee of unsecured creditors in the Debtors' cases.
The U.S. Trustee explained that there were insufficient responses
to her communication/contact for service on the committee.


OPTIM ENERGY: Seeks to Sell Coal-Fired Plant
--------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Optim Energy LLC, the owner of three power plants, is
proposing a $2.55 million bonus program, including $250,000 for
the chief executive officer on the successful sale of the
company's one coal-fired facility.

According to Bloomberg, citing court papers, Optim is trying to
sell the coal-fired plant and would give CEO Nick Rahn a $150,000
bonus when the bankruptcy court approves sale procedures. He would
get $100,000 more when the sale is completed, the Bloomberg report
related.  Rahn, along with six other high-level executives, would
have a separate $400,000 in incentive bonuses if performance
targets are met, the Bloomberg report added.

Mr. Rochelle said in a separate report that Walnut Creek Mining
Co., the power-plant owner's largest unsecured creditor, has
argued that Cascade Investment LLC should be treated as the owner,
not a secured lender of Optim.  Walnut Creek pointed out that when
Cascade took over Optim's $713 million loan from Wells Fargo Bank
NA, Cascade became secured under a pre-existing agreement to use
the assets as collateral in the event of a call on the guarantee.

The mining company alleged an ?inequitable scheme,? through which
Cascade transformed itself ?from a mere equity holder to the
secured lender,? Mr. Rochelle related.  Walnut Creek asked the
bankruptcy court to let it sue Cascade on behalf of all creditors,
saying that Silver Spring, Maryland-based Optim itself waived the
right to sue by obtaining financing from Cascade, Mr. Rochelle
further related.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: May 23 Hearing on CBA Amendments
------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court will convene a hearing on May 23, 2014, at
2:00 p.m., to consider approval of Overseas Shipholding Group,
Inc., et al.'s amendments to the collective bargaining agreements.
Objections, if any, are due May 16.

On May 2, the Debtors requested that the Court:

   i. authorize, to the extent required, the payment of the Wage
Increase to the articulated tug barges (ATB) Crew;

  ii. authorize the implementation of a retention plan for
eligible ATB Crew;

iii. authorize the Debtors to enter into the American Maritime
Officers Union (AMO) Amendment;

  iv. authorize the Debtors to enter into the Seafarers
International Union (SIU) Amendment;

   v. authorize the Debtors to assume and perform their
obligations under the AMO CBA; and

  vi. authorize the Debtors to assume and perform their
obligations under the SIU CBA, as amended by the SIU Amendment.

The Debtors relate that as they continue to prepare for emergence
from the bankruptcy proceedings, one of the most vital elements to
their successful reorganization will be their ability to attract
and retain first-rate crews to operate their vessels.   While the
Debtors have historically been able to achieve the goal, recent
industry trends have created certain hiring and retention
challenges, particularly with regard to the Debtors' fleet of
articulated tug barges (ATBs).

In this connection, the Debtors have determined that it is in the
best interests of their creditors, estates and other parties-in-
interest to provide to certain of their ATB crew members, either
directly or through the amendments to the collective bargaining
agreements with the relevant Unions, (i) a modest increase in
wages; and (ii) a retention bonus plan pursuant to which retention
bonuses will be payable at the end of a 36-month period.

The Debtors anticipate that the wage increase will comprise a
modest annual cost of approximately $780,000, and the retention
plan a modest annual cost of approximately $1.7 million.  Thus,
through payments totaling approximately $2.5 million per year --
an expense per ATB of just $735 a day -- the Debtors will be able
to more closely align their compensation with industry standards
and practices, ensuring that the Debtors can maintain the high
caliber of service that has been crucial to their past success and
bolstering their prospects for a successful emergence.

A copy of the proposed amendments to the CBA is available for free
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/OVERSEASSHIPHOLDING_3100_cba.pdf

The Debtor, in a separate filing, request permission to file
unredacted forms of amendments to the CBA under seal.

In March 2014, OSG filed a plan of reorganization that hinges on a
plan support agreement it struck with lenders holding an aggregate
of approximately 77% of amounts outstanding under the Company's
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility.  The Debtors and the so-
called Consenting Lenders also agreed to the terms of a
$300,000,000 rights offering, which would be backstopped by the
Consenting Lenders.  The Original Plan generally provided that
creditors' allowed non-subordinated claims against the Debtors
other than claims under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility,
would be paid in full, in cash, including post-petition interest,
or reinstated and holders of equity interests and claims
subordinated pursuant to section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
would receive a combination of shares of common stock and warrants
issued by reorganized OSG valued at approximately $61,400,000.
Under the Original Plan, holders of claims arising out of the
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility would receive their pro rata
share of stock and warrants of the reorganized OSG. In addition,
the Original Plan provided that the 7.50% Unsecured Senior Notes
due in 2024 issued by OSG and the 8.125% Unsecured Senior Notes
due in 2018 issued by OSG will be reinstated, following payment of
outstanding interest.  The Debtors also entered into a commitment
letter with Goldman Sachs Bank USA to provide $935,000,000 in exit
financing to the fund the Debtors' emergence from bankruptcy.

Late in April, following negotiations with equity holders and the
official committee of equity security holders, OSG abandoned the
agreement with the Consenting Lenders as well as the Original
Plan, and filed an amended Plan premised on an equity commitment
agreement with the Equity Holders, who collectively hold
approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of the Company.  Each
Commitment Party has agreed to purchase shares in a rights
offering with an aggregate offering amount of $1,500,000,000, and
committed to purchase shares in respect of unexercised
subscription rights in the rights offering.  The Debtors will
distribute to each Equity Holder one subscription right in respect
of each existing equity interest held by such Equity Holder. So-
called Class B securities carry an entitlement to distribution of
up to 10 % of the net litigation recovery in the malpractice
lawsuit against Proskauer Rose LLP and four of its partners.

The Debtors also abandoned the financing deal with Goldman Sachs
and, instead, accepted the funding offer from Jefferies Finance
LLC, which consisted of (a) a $600,000,000 term loan secured by a
first lien on the Debtors' U.S. Flag assets; (b) a $600,000,000
term loan secured by a first lien on the Debtors' International
Flag assets; (c) a $75,000,000 asset based revolving loan
facility; and (d) a $75,000,000 revolving loan facility.

Hearing on the disclosure statement explaining the Amended Plan as
well as the Equity Commitment Agreement and the exit financing
commitments is scheduled for May 23, 2014.  The Debtors have
proposed a July 14, 2014 Plan confirmation hearing.


OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: Proposes New Plan Discovery Schedule
----------------------------------------------------------
Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc., et al., ask the Bankruptcy Court
to set a discovery schedule and authorize other procedures in
connection with the hearing on the confirmation of the Debtors'
First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization.

The Court will consider approval of the request at a hearing
scheduled for May 23, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.  Objections, if any, are
due May 19, at 4:00 p.m.

On April 21, the Court entered the order establishing discovery
schedule and other procedures for plan confirmation, setting a
discovery schedule for the confirmation hearing on the Joint Plan
of the Debtors.  On May 2, the Debtors filed an Amended Plan,
which substantially increases recoveries for the Debtors' existing
equity holders while generally maintaining the recoveries for
creditors with allowed claims.

Subject to the Court's approval, the Amended Plan, which is funded
in part by a $1,500,000,000 rights offering backstopped by the
Commitment Parties and certain exit financing facilities, will
generally pay in full or render unimpaired allowed creditor
claims, and provide a more robust recovery to Old OSG Equity
Interests than the Debtors' prior plan delivered.  The Debtors
have proposed setting the confirmation hearing to approve the
Amended Plan for July 14.

To ensure that any discovery obligations surrounding the
confirmation hearing occur in a smooth and orderly fashion, the
Debtors request that the Court use its inherent power to approve
the Proposed Discovery Order.

Simultaneously with the filings of the Amended Plan and the
Amended Disclosure Statement, the Debtors proposed this schedule:

   July 1:                 finish expert discovery
   July 3:                 deadline for filing of objections to
                           the confirmation of the amended Plan
   July 10:                deadline for filing of replies and
                           other responses to objections.

On May 2, the Court issued a notice of termination of a prior
order establishing discovery schedule and other procedures for
plan confirmation.  The notice also provides that the filing of
the Amended Plan terminates all parties' confirmation discovery
obligations with respect to the order and the Original Plan.

proposed a July 14, 2014 Plan confirmation hearing.


OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: Seeks Okay of $1.35BB Jefferies Financing
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court will convene a hearing on May 23, 2014, at
2:00 p.m. to consider Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc.'s motion to
incur exit financing from Jefferies Finance LLC.  Objections, if
any, are due May 16, at 4:00 p.m.

The Debtors requested that the Court authorize:

   i) the exit financing commitment letter and its corresponding
fee letter with Jefferies; and

  ii) performance of their obligations under the exit financing
documents, including without limitation, their obligations to
incur and pay certain fees, indemnities, costs and expenses as
provided in the exit financing documents.

Concurrently with the filing of the motion, the Debtors filed an
amended plan of reorganization that substantially increases
recoveries for the Debtors' existing equity holders while
maintaining the recoveries for creditors with allowed claims.

Subject to the Court's approval, the Amended Plan will generally
pay in full or render unimpaired allowed creditor claims, and
provide a more robust recovery to Old OSG Equity Interests than
the Debtors' prior plan delivered.  To enable the Debtors to fund
the distributions contemplated by the Amended Plan, an ad hoc
group including certain equity holders also committed severally
and not jointly to backstop a $1,500,000,000 rights offering that
will be made available to all eligible equity holders.  The motion
seeks approval of the final pillar of the Amended Plan --
commitments for exit financing totaling $1,350,000,000.

The Debtors request that the Court authorize the filing of an
unredacted form of the exit financing fee letter under seal.

In March 2014, OSG filed a plan of reorganization that hinges on a
plan support agreement it struck with lenders holding an aggregate
of approximately 77% of amounts outstanding under the Company's
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility.  The Debtors and the so-
called Consenting Lenders also agreed to the terms of a
$300,000,000 rights offering, which would be backstopped by the
Consenting Lenders.  The Original Plan generally provided that
creditors' allowed non-subordinated claims against the Debtors
other than claims under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility,
would be paid in full, in cash, including post-petition interest,
or reinstated and holders of equity interests and claims
subordinated pursuant to section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
would receive a combination of shares of common stock and warrants
issued by reorganized OSG valued at approximately $61,400,000.
Under the Original Plan, holders of claims arising out of the
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility would receive their pro rata
share of stock and warrants of the reorganized OSG. In addition,
the Original Plan provided that the 7.50% Unsecured Senior Notes
due in 2024 issued by OSG and the 8.125% Unsecured Senior Notes
due in 2018 issued by OSG will be reinstated, following payment of
outstanding interest.  The Debtors also entered into a commitment
letter with Goldman Sachs Bank USA to provide $935,000,000 in exit
financing to the fund the Debtors' emergence from bankruptcy.

The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders submitted on
April 30 a limited objection and reservation of rights to the
Debtors' request for exit financing stating that the Original Plan
and the PSA with the Lenders are products of an insufficient plan
process, and that the same holds true for the GS exit financing
documents.

Following negotiations with equity holders and the official
committee of equity security holders, OSG abandoned the agreement
with the Consenting Lenders as well as the Original Plan, and
filed an amended Plan premised on an equity commitment agreement
with the Equity Holders, who collectively hold approximately 30%
of the outstanding shares of the Company.  Each Commitment Party
has agreed to purchase shares in a rights offering with an
aggregate offering amount of $1,500,000,000, and committed to
purchase shares in respect of unexercised subscription rights in
the rights offering.  The Debtors will distribute to each Equity
Holder one subscription right in respect of each existing equity
interest held by such Equity Holder. So-called Class B securities
carry an entitlement to distribution of up to 10 % of the net
litigation recovery in the malpractice lawsuit against Proskauer
Rose LLP and four of its partners.

and, instead, accepted the funding offer from Jefferies Finance
LLC, which consisted of (a) a $600,000,000 term loan secured by a
first lien on the Debtors' U.S. Flag assets; (b) a $600,000,000
term loan secured by a first lien on the Debtors' International
Flag assets; (c) a $75,000,000 asset based revolving loan
facility; and (d) a $75,000,000 revolving loan facility.

Under the Facilities, Jefferies will serve as Lead Arranger, Sole
Book Runner, and Sole Syndication Agent, as well as Administrative
and Collateral Agent.

The Facilities mature on the five-year anniversary of the Closing
Date.

At the Borrowers' option, either (i) at the Base Rate plus 4.25%
per annum; or (ii) at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus
5.25% per annum, with the terms Base Rate and reserve adjusted
Eurodollar rate having meanings customary and appropriate for
financings of this type, subject to a reserve adjusted Eurodollar
Rate "floor" of 1.00% and a Base Rate "floor" of 2.00%.

PACIFIC CARGO: Court Dismisses GE Appeal on Hino Truck Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chief District Judge Ann Aiken in Oregon, ruled on an appeal by
General Electric Capital Corporation from the bankruptcy court's
decisions: (1) authorizing and approving Hilco Industrial, LLC's
asset purchase agreement; and (2) denying GE's motion to vacate
the Sale Order, in the Chapter 11 case of Pacific Cargo Services,
LLC.  GE moved to stay the Sale Order during the pendency of the
appeal.

After the transaction contemplated by the Sale Order was
completed, Hilco filed a motion to dismiss GE's appeal as moot.
The estate trustee for the debtor joined in Hilco's motion.

Pacific Cargo and GE are parties to two Loan and Security
Agreements entered in August 2012, through which GE financed
Pacific Cargo's purchase of 12 Hino trucks.  Pacific Cargo agreed
to pay GE the original principal balance plus pre-commuted
interest, totaling $1,240,006, and granted GE a first priority
security interest in the trucks.  Despite receiving this loan,
Pacific Cargo was unable to manage its business in the ordinary
course and sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Pacific Cargo Services, LLC, filed its petition for Chapter 11
protection on Jan. 28, 2013 (Bankr. Ore. Case No. 13-30439).  The
Debtor was an expedited freight company, focusing on
overnight deliveries.  It operated in five states with 248
employees.  The Debtor initially tapped Tara J. Schleicher, Esq.,
at Farleigh Wada Witt, as counsel.

GE has filed a proof of claim in the amount of $1,005,289.

Pacific Cargo, its creditors, and the bankruptcy court decided to
focus on a going concern sale of Pacific Cargo's business to
maximize value for creditors and maintain employment opportunities
for Pacific Cargo's employees.  Pacific Cargo retained Equity
Partners CRB LLC as broker for the sale after completing an
investigation and interview process between Equity Partners,
Pacific Cargo, the creditors' committee, and Graystone Capital,
Pacific Cargo's primary secured creditor.  The Court approved the
auction and bidding procedures on a final basis.  GE did not
objected to the procedures.

After substantial marketing efforts, Cardinal Courier, a large
logistics and transportation company, on June 26, 2013, made a
"stalking horse" bid on Pacific Cargo as a going concern to
initiate the auction process; the bid was a "low ball" offer,
setting the floor for the competitive auction, and was not
expected to end up as the winning bid.  The auction was structured
so that interested parties could not only bid on Pacific Cargo's
entire business, but also on various lots of assets, encompassing
the collateral of the various secured creditors, including GE.

On July 10, 2013, the notice of intent to auction Pacific Cargo's
assets was served by mail on GE' s registered agent, CT
Corporation System, and local counsel and counsel of record,
Wilson Muhlheim, as well as to the address set forth in GE's proof
of claim.  The notice set the auction for July 23, 2013, at 9:00
a.m., and advised that a hearing, to approve the auction sale
results and to consider any objections, would be held that same
day at 1:30 p.m.

On July 11, 2013, Pacific Cargo filed a motion to sell its assets,
including GE's collateral, free and clear of liens, claims, and
encumbrances outside of the ordinary course of business pursuant
to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363(b) and (f).  The auction proceeded as
scheduled on July 23 and July 24, overseen by Equity Partners, and
Hilco, an international industrial auctioneer, liquidator, and
appraiser, emerged the high bidder on Lot 2, in the amount of
$180,000, encompassing the 11 Hino trucks in which GE had a
security interest.  GE did not appear or participate in the
auction or the subsequent hearings.

On July 31, 2013, the Sale Order was entered approving, in
relevant part: ( 1) the purchase of Pacific Cargo's 11 Hino trucks
by Hilco for $180,000; and (2) Pacific Cargo's receipt of 10%
($18,000) of the sale proceeds as a carve out.

On Aug. 2, 2013, following an expedited hearing, the bankruptcy
court entered an order converting Pacific Cargo's Chapter 11 case
into a Chapter 7 case because Pacific Cargo's assets had been sold
and it was no longer operating as a going concern.  GE filed a
motion to vacate the Sale Order on Aug. 8, alleging that it first
heard about Hilco's purchase of the Hino trucks when Hilco's
representatives contacted it to obtain titles thereto.  GE argued
that the Sale Order should be vacated because it did not receive
proper notice and the trucks were sold for below their fair market
value.

After an evidentiary hearing in August, the Bankruptcy Court on
Sept. 18, 2013, denied GE's motion to vacate.

GE on Oct. 1, 2013, filed an appeal.  On Nov. 1, the transfer of
the Hino trucks to Hilco closed in exchange for $180,000.

In a May 9, 2014 Opinion and Order available at
http://is.gd/Rxfyzofrom Leagle.com, Judge Aiken said GE's motion
is denied and Hilco's motion is granted.  The bankruptcy court's
decision is affirmed and GE's appeal is dismissed.  Judge Aiken
said Hilco was a good faith purchaser and GE received adequate
notice, such that the sale of GE's assets to Hilco pursuant to
Sec. 363 was valid.

PACIFIC RUBIALIS: S&P Affirms 'BB+' CCR; Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB+' corporate
credit and issue-level ratings on Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp.
(PRE).  The outlook remains stable.  The rating affirmations
follow S&P's regular annual review.

The 'BB+' rating on PRE is derived from S&P's anchor of 'bb+',
based on its "fair" business risk and "intermediate" financial
risk profile assessments for the company, and no rating impact
derived from the rating modifiers.

The company's "fair" business risk profile is primarily based on
its concentration in Colombia, as it generates 100% of its EBITDA
in the country; smaller scale compared with its investment-grade
peers; and 50% of its revenue coming from the Rubiales and Piriri
blocks, whose concessions expire in 2016.  However, as a result of
the Petrominerales acquisition, PRE's reserves increased by 20% in
2013.  Therefore, its dependence on the two fields decreased to
11% of total proved reserves as of December 2013 from 19% in 2012.
S&P believes that the combined production from the new heavy-oil
fields, CPE-6 and Rio Ariari, and its active exploration program
will help the company to replace its production from the Rubiales
field in the next two to three years.


PETTERS COMPANY: Trustee Granted Authority to Sue Outside U.S.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Douglas A. Kelley, the trustee unraveling the Ponzi
scheme orchestrated by Thomas Petters, got a Minnesota bankruptcy
court's authorization to sue in 25 countries around the world.

According to the report, when Kelley sues, he sues copiously. In
the space of a month in 2010, he sued 382 defendants in 200
separate actions, each contending the defendants received stolen
funds, the report related.

Foreign defendants will include those who subsequently received
allegedly stolen money that was first paid to someone doing
business directly with Petters, the report further related.  In
obtaining authority to sue abroad, Kelley said that bankruptcy and
fraudulent-transfer laws are designed to "redress the inherently
unfair distribution of stolen funds," the report said.

PITT PENN: Delaware First to Allow Electronic Plan Voting
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that computer balloting has arrived in bankruptcy court.

According to the report, at a hearing in May in Wilmington,
Delaware, Industrial Enterprises of America Inc. will present for
confirmation the first Chapter 11 plan approved by creditors
through electronic voting, according to Patrick J. Reilley, an
attorney for the company's trustee.

The voting method, approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brendan
Linehan Shannon, uses technology developed by UpShot Services LLC,
a provider of claims and noticing services for Chapter 11 cases,
the report related.

To ensure that only creditors with bona fide claims vote, UpShot
sends out individualized paper ballots, the report further
related.  Each ballot contains a voter-specific code that must be
used when the creditor votes electronically. Creditors also have
the option of sending in paper ballots, said Reilley, of Cole
Schotz Meisel Forman & Leonard PA in Wilmington.

The system records identifying information about the computers
used to vote, allowing UpShot to know where, when and "how often
computers attempt to complete" a ballot, Juliet Babros, a
spokeswoman for UpShot, said in an e-mailed statement, the report
added.

PLC SYSTEMS: Proposes Business Transactions to Raise Capital
------------------------------------------------------------
PLC Systems Inc., a medical device company focused on innovative
technologies for the cardiac and vascular markets, on May 14
disclosed that it is proposing to its shareholders a series of
business transactions.

Said Mark R. Tauscher, president and chief executive officer of
PLC, "The management of PLC has been working diligently for the
past few years to raise the additional capital needed to both fund
our operations as well as our U.S. clinical trial of
RenalGuard(R).  Despite considering every alternative, we have not
been successful in doing so.  To avoid the route of bankruptcy,
which would leave very little if any value for current
shareholders, we have constructed, with our board and advisors, a
series of corporate transactions that we believe will address the
financial needs of the underlying business operations of
RenalGuard, while providing current PLC stockholders with the
ability to participate in a better capitalized public company that
has a strong growth opportunity.  We believe that these
transactions, while complicated, will help preserve the most value
for stockholder's equity in PLC."

The transactions proposed include merging PLC Systems Inc., the
public company, with Viveve, Inc., a private medical device
company pioneering innovative technology in the field of women's
healthcare.  Viveve, a commercial stage company, recently received
regulatory approval for its lead product in Canada, Europe and
Hong Kong, and also sells product into Japan. Following this step,
it is contemplated that PLC stockholders would own in aggregate
approximately 36.9% of the public company, while Viveve
stockholders would own in aggregate approximately 63.1% of the
public company.

Proposed Business Transaction Steps:

        --  Prior to the merger, PLC will transfer its existing
RenalGuard business, PLC's sole business segment, into an entity
called RenalGuard Solutions, which will then be sold to GCP IV
LLC, PLC's principal debt holder, GCP IV LLC, in exchange for the
cancellation of all debentures held by GCP;

        --  In connection with the merger, PLC shall undergo a
recapitalization, including the exchange of shares of PLC common
stock for outstanding warrants and a 1 for 100 reverse stock
split;

        --  Immediately after the RenalGuard Transfer and the
merger, PLC will complete a private placement of its common stock
and warrants to certain accredited investors, including 5AM
Ventures, GBS Ventures and Alta Bioequities, for total gross
proceeds of approximately $6,000,000 (including approximately
$500,000 of bridge debt conversion);

        --  Following the merger, PLC will change its name to
Viveve Medical, Inc. to more accurately reflect its new business;

       --  Upon consummation of the merger, the officers and
directors of Viveve immediately prior to the Merger will become
the officers and directors of Viveve Medical, Inc. f/k/a PLC; and

        --  Initially, Viveve Medical, Inc. will continue to be
quoted on the OTCQB marketplace maintained by the OTC Market Group
Inc. under the symbol "PLCSF" but will undertake to change its
symbol to more accurately reflect the Name Change.

The completion of the merger is contingent upon the satisfaction
of certain conditions included in the merger agreement, which is
attached as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by
PLC today with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.  These
conditions include:

        --  PLC shareholder approval of the merger and related
transactions; and

        --  Completion of the RenalGuard Transfer prior to closing
of the merger.

PLUG POWER: Incurs $62.8 Million Net Loss in 2013
-------------------------------------------------

Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss
attributable to common shareholders of $62.79 million on $26.60
million of total revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, as
compared with a net loss attributable to common shareholders of
$31.86 million on $26.10 million of total revenue during the prior
year.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, the Company had $35.35 million in total
assets, $50.85 million in total liabilities, $2.37 million in
redeemable preferred stock and a $17.87 million total
stockholders' deficit.

KPMG LLP, in Albany, New York, did not issue a "going concern"
qualification in their report on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  KPMG LLP previously
expressed substantial doubt about Plug Power's ability to continue
as a going concern, following their audit of the Company's
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, citing the
Company's recurring losses from operations and substantial decline
in working capital.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"Our cash requirements relate primarily to working capital needed
to operate and grow our business, including funding operating
expenses, growth in inventory to support both shipments of new
units and servicing the installed base, funding the growth in our
GenKey "turn-key" solution which also includes the installation of
our customer's hydrogen infrastructure as well as delivery of the
hydrogen molecule, and continued development and expansion of our
products.  Our ability to achieve profitability and meet future
liquidity needs and capital requirements will depend upon numerous
factors, including the timing and quantity of product orders and
shipments; the timing and amount of our operating expenses; the
timing and costs of working capital needs; the timing and costs of
building a sales base; the timing and costs of developing
marketing and distribution channels; the timing and costs of
product service requirements; the timing and costs of hiring and
training product staff; the extent to which our products gain
market acceptance; the timing and costs of product development and
introductions; the extent of our ongoing and any new research and
development programs; and changes in our strategy or our planned
activities.  If we are unable to fund our operations without
additional external financing and therefore cannot sustain future
operations, we may be required to delay, reduce and/or cease our
operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection," the Company said in
the Annual Report.

REALOGY HOLDINGS: Prices Offering of $450 Million Senior Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Realogy Holdings Corp.'s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary,
Realogy Group LLC, together with a co-issuer, priced $450 million
aggregate principal amount of 4.500 percent senior notes due 2019
in connection with their previously announced private offering
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.  The closing of the offering is expected to

Secured Notes due 2019, and to pay related premiums of $33 million
as well as related fees and expenses, concurrent with the closing

indebtedness.  We cannot assure you that we would be able to take
any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and
permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or that
these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing
or future debt agreements.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in
default and, as a result:

   * our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and
     interest to be due and payable;

   * the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could
     terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose
     against the assets securing their borrowings; and

   * we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation," the
     Company said in its annual report for the period ended
     Dec. 31, 2012.

                           *     *     *

In the Aug. 1, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded the corporate family rating of Realogy Group to to B2
from B3.  The upgrade to B2 CFR is driven by expectations for
ongoing strong financial performance, supported by Realogy's
recently-concluded debt and equity financing activities and a
continuing recovery in the US existing home sale market.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 18, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Realogy Corp. to
'B+' from 'B'.

"The one notch upgrade in the corporate credit rating to 'B+'
reflects an increase in our expectation for operating performance
at Realogy in 2013, and S&P's expectation that total lease
adjusted debt to EBITDA will improve to the low-6x area and funds
from operations (FFO) to total adjusted debt will be improve to
the high-single-digits percentage area in 2013, mostly due to
EBITDA growth in the low- to mid-teens percentage area in 2013,"
S&P said.


RICEBRAN TECHNOLOGIES: Reports $17.6 Million 2013 Net Loss
----------------------------------------------------------
RiceBran Technologies filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$17.64 million on $35.05 million of revenues for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of $11.13 million on
$37.72 million of revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, the Company had $44.57 million in total
assets, $31.56 million in total liabilities, $7.17 million in
temporary equity and $5.83 million in total equity attributable to
the Company's shareholders.

BDO USA, LLP, in Phoenix, Arizona, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
resulting in an accumulated deficit of $219 million at Dec. 31,
2013.  This factor among other things, raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

RIVERHOUNDS EVENT: Won't Have Trustee Appointed
-----------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Pittsburgh Riverhounds professional soccer team
and its Highmark Stadium will remain under control of the majority
shareholder, at least for now.

According to the report, a minority owner filed papers with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Pittsburgh seeking appointment of a
Chapter 11 trustee to oust the 51 percent owner.  At a hearing on
April 24, the judge denied the motion "without prejudice," which
means that the motion for a trustee can be filed in the future if
facts change.

Katy Stech, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
David Wilke, the minority owner of the Pittsburgh Riverhounds
soccer team accrused majority owner Terrance "Tuffy"
Shallenberger, Jr., of breaking his promise to help the team pay
off the debt on its overbudget Highmark Stadium.  Mr. Wilke sought
the appointment of a trustee who might consider suing Mr.
Shallenberger for breaking his promise and contributing to the
team's struggles.

The cases are In re Riverhounds Event Center LP, 14-bk-21180, and
In re Riverhounds Acquisition Group LP, 14-bk-21181, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Western District Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh).

SCRUB ISLAND: FirstBank Seeks to File Competing Plan
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that FirstBank Puerto Rico, a secured lender to Scrub
Island Resort, Spa & Marina in the British Virgin Islands, is
trying to take the initiative in the resort's Chapter 11
reorganization begun in November, by filing a competing plan.

According to the report, Scrub Island filed its plan in March,
initially saying it had support from FirstBank. The bank said that
was "false and misleading" because it was "unequivocally" opposed
to its treatment under the plan.

The current plan calls for the Santurce, Puerto Rico-based bank to
receive $7.5 million cash and a $30 million five-year loan in
exchange for a $120 million secured claim, the report related.
The bank called the plan "facially unconfirmable" because it
retains value for insiders, while objecting creditors aren't paid
in full, the report further related.  FirstBank said the plan
benefits no one other than the controlling shareholder, who would
retain a 40 percent interest in return for a $6 million
contribution of new value.

The bank in particular is opposed to a provision that would
relieve the owner of his personal guarantee on its $120 million
debt, the report said.  If the court ends the resort's exclusive
plan rights, the bank said, it will file a plan of its own that
will test the value of the project in the market.

SIGNET UK: Moody's Rates $400MM Senior Unsecured Notes 'Ba1'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating on the proposed
$400 million senior unsecured notes to be issued by Signet UK
Finance plc, an indirect subsidiary of Signet Jewelers Limited
(together, "Signet"). All other ratings are unchanged, including
the company's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), Ba1-PD
Probability of Default Rating (PDR) and SGL-1 liquidity rating.
The ratings are subject to review of final documentation and
completion of the transaction as proposed.

On February 19, 2014, Signet announced that it entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire Zale Corporation ("Zale") for $21
per share in a transaction valued at about $1.4 billion. The
transaction is expected to be financed with a combination of $800
million of unsecured debt, including the proposed $400 notes and a
committed $400 million term loan, and the securitization of $600
million of Signet's U.S. accounts receivable portfolio. The
transaction is subject to approval by Zale shareholders, and is
expected to close by the end of 2014.

The following ratings were assigned to Signet UK Finance plc:

$400 million unsecured notes at Ba1 (LGD4, 57%)

Ratings Rationale

The Ba1 Corporate Family Rating reflects Signet's position as the
largest specialty retail jeweler in the U.S. and U.K., its well-
recognized brand names, and solid execution and marketing, all of
which drive strong profitability. The rating also acknowledges the
strategic benefits of the proposed acquisition of Zale, which will
strengthen Signet's leading position in the U.S. while adding the
leading jewelry store brand in Canada. The rating also
acknowledges Signet's very good liquidity, supported by the
expectation that balance sheet cash and cash flow will be more
than sufficient to cover required cash flow needs over the next
12-18 months.

The rating also reflects, however, the company's weak pro forma
debt protection measures combined with a narrow focus on a
discretionary product with a demonstrated sensitivity to weak
economic conditions. Signet is purchasing a company with a much
weaker credit profile. While Zale's operating margins have
improved over the past two years due to successful implementation
of a turnaround plan, it is still in the early stages and margins
remain very low, at around 2.5% -- well below Signet's
approximately 13.5% margin. When coupled with the acquisition
debt, pro forma lease-adjusted debt/EBITDA for the twelve months
ended February 1, 2014, will be high at about 4.4 times. While
significant synergies are expected, integration risk does exists
and it will likely take several years to fully execute the
integration plan. The company is committed to achieving
approximately $100 million in annual synergies within three full
fiscal years of closing, through the leveraging of the combined
company's scale and geographic reach, sourcing capabilities,
marketing efficiencies and store rationalization.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the company
will successfully integrate Zale without disruption over the next
several years, and that debt protection metrics will modestly
improve over time through a combination of organic revenue growth
and revenue/cost saving synergies.

Ratings could be upgraded if the company continues to exhibit
strong revenue growth while improving consolidated margins and
generating consistent positive free cash flow. The company would
also need to maintain a balanced financial policy, including the
use of free cash flow to reduce debt. Specific metrics include
lease-adjusted debt/EBITDA sustained near 3.5 times and retained
cash flow to net debt above 20%.

Signet's ratings could be downgraded if operating performance or
integration issues cause lease-adjusted debt/EBITDA to increase
above 4.5 times, retained cash flow to net debt fall below 12.5%
or EBITA/Interest below 3.25 times on a sustained basis.

Signet UK Finance plc is an indirect subsidiary of Bermuda-based
Signet Jewelers Limited (together, "Signet"). Signet is the
leading specialty jewelry retailer in the U.S. and U.K., operating
over 1,900 stores and e-commerce websites. Zale Corporation
("Zale") is a leading specialty jewelry retailer in the U.S. and
Canada, operating approximately 1,680 retail locations and e-
commerce websites. Pro forma revenue approaches $6.1 billion.


SONIC AUTOMOTIVE: Moody's Raises Corp. Family Rating to 'Ba3'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the corporate family and
probability of default ratings of Sonic Automotive, Inc. to Ba3
and Ba3-PD, respectively, and changed the rating outlook to stable
from positive.

Ratings upgraded

Corporate family rating to Ba3 from B1

Probability of default rating to Ba3-PD from B1-PD

$200 million guaranteed senior global notes due 2022 to B2 (LGD-
6/91%) from B3 (LGD-6/91%)

$300 million guaranteed senior global notes due 2023 to B2 (LGD-
6/91%) from B3 (LGD-6/91%)

Rating Rationale

"The upgrades recognize the progress Sonic continues to make
improving its operating performance such that its quantitative
credit profile is showing tangible signs of positive momentum,"
stated Moody's Vice President Charlie O'Shea. "In addition, the
remediation of the material weakness as disclosed in its most
recent 10-K serves as an additional catalyst for the upgrade."

Sonic's Ba3 Corporate Family rating recognizes the recent
improvement in the company's interest coverage, as well as the
elimination of the material weakness as disclosed in the company's
most recent 10-K. Other key rating factors include good liquidity
benefitting from a balanced debt maturity profile, and Sonic's
business model, with representative parts and service and finance
and insurance segments, which reduce reliance on new car sales.
Ratings also reflect the company's strong market position in the
still very fragmented auto retailing segment, and Sonic's
historically-favorable brand mix.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that Sonic's favorable
brand mix will continue to resonate with consumers, and that it
will continue to manage its expenses prudently, resulting in
credit metrics that should continue to improve over the next few
quarters. Given the upgrade, there is little short-term upward
rating pressure. Over time, ratings could be upgraded if Sonic
continues to improve its operating performance and credit metrics,
as well as maintain a balanced financial policy. Quantitatively,
ratings could be upgraded if debt/EBITDA was sustained below 4.25
times and EBIT/Interest was sustained above 3.5 times. Ratings
could be downgraded if Sonic's liquidity or operating performance
were to weaken, or if financial policy were to become aggressive
such that debt/EBITDA rose above 5 times or if EBIT/Interest fell
below 2.5 times.

Sonic Automotive, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is a leading
auto retailer with 102 stores representing 123 franchises, and
annual revenues of approximately $9 billion.


SPIRE CORP: Incurs $8.5 Million Net Loss in 2013
------------------------------------------------
Spire Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$8.52 million on $14.58 million of total net sales and revenues
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of
$1.85 million on $22.11 million of total net sales and revenues in
2012.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2013, showed $16.06
million in total assets, $16.78 million in total liabilities and a
$713,000 total stockholders' deficit.

McGladrey LLP, in Boston, Massachusetts, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company incurred an operating loss from continuing operations
of $8.4 million and cash used in operating activities of
continuing operations was $5.2 million.  The Company's credit
agreement with a bank is due to expire on April 30, 2014.  These
factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.

SRKO FAMILY: May 22 Hearing to Approve Plan Supplement Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court rescheduled until May 22, 2014, at 9:00 a.m.,
the hearing to consider approval of the Support Agreements for The
SRKO Family Limited Partnership's Chapter 11 Plan.

The hearing was reset from April 8.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 27, 2014,
the Debtor and the Chapter 11 trustee for Jannie Richardson intend
to pursue reorganization and liquidation simultaneously so that if
for any reason confirmation is denied or the effective date cannot
be achieved because of the failure of any conditions, then SRKO
can liquidate Colorado Crossing through an auction.  The auction
process will yield, as a byproduct, a market check for what is
available in liquidation.

SRKO is asking the bankruptcy court to approve its plan support
agreements, the use of property pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec.
363, and the break-up fee contained therein.  SRKO contemplates a
trust, held for the benefit of creditors, to make distributions
called for by the plan and forming a new entity as a limited
liability company, LLC, whose members are the equity sponsor (who
is also the exit lender) and the creditor trust.  Pursuant to a
plan of reorganization, as contemplated in the plan support
agreements, all of Colorado Crossing will be transferred to NEWCO
for development and sale and as the vehicle to obtain repayment
for the creditors over time.

In pursuit of reorganization, SRKO also seeks approval of a loan
letter of intent and an equity participation letter.  The
agreements provide that:

    (a) ITG Taxable Fund LLLP will lend NEWCO $5 million for the
development of Colorado Crossing and for the payment of what can
loosely be called administrative and priority claims, including
priority secured claims.  In addition, it will make available a
standby line of credit for up to $1 million.  Certain of the terms
and conditions of the loan are still to be negotiated.

    (b) The Creditor Trust will sell ITG 20% of the membership
interests in NEWCO for $3 million cash.  Certain of the terms and
conditions of such sale are still to be negotiated.

    (c) NEWCO will develop Colorado Crossing and distribute the
proceeds in accordance with its plan of reorganization which will
be consistent with the plan support agreements.

It is anticipated that approximately $1.5 million of the total
funding will go to the NEWCO operating budget and interest reserve
for the development of Colorado Crossing.  The remaining $5.5
million ($3 million equity plus $2.5 million to $2.9 million net
loan proceeds) will be used to pay administrative expenses,
priority claims and senior secured claims.  Those claims, in
total, exceed $5.5 million.  It is anticipated that during the
plan confirmation process, agreements will be reached with the
holders of those claims for either reduced or extended payments,
or both, such that the funding available will make any performance
of any plan and development of the property feasible.

To support and assist in the development of such a plan, and to
enter into the plan support agreements, ITG requires that it
receive a break-up fee equal to $160,000.  The break-up fee would
be payable upon:

    (1) the Debtor selecting a different funding source for its
plan,

    (2) the confirmation of a plan of reorganization with a
competing third party which plan's terms do not include ITG's plan
support agreements,

    (3) an alternative transaction resulting in a deposition of
Colorado Crossing, including, but not limited to, a sale of the
assets at auction, or

    (4) the parties having reached agreement on all of the
underlying agreements and ITG being in full compliance with such
agreements and has not withheld its consent as to any item within
its discretion, but SRKO or NEWCO, as applicable, breaches the
same, including if the plan of reorganization contemplated by the
plan support agreements is not confirmed or there are material
adverse changes in the development assumptions and projections
previously provided to ITG.

As reported in the TCR on April 14, 2014, several parties-in-
interest filed objections to the approval of the Plan Support
Agreements.

N.A. Rieger, in its limited objection, said it was a funding
source for substantial capital infusions to Jannie Richardson for
the SRKO project.  Given that it is proposed that the superior
administrative claims of Lindquist and Vannum LLP and C. Randell
Lewis for trustee fees, are split 50/50 each between the two
estate and given that without Mr. Rieger's initial and continuing
substantial financing via Jannie Richardson, the SRKO project
would not have proceeds as far as it did, Riger wants a more
equitable split for the general unsecured creditors as 56% to SRKO
and 44% to Jannie Richardson.

Da Nam Ko -- in her capacity as trustee of the Allen Richardson
Dynasty Trust, the Jessica Stinson Dynasty Trust, and the Jeffrey
Stinson Dynasty Trust and Spring Water Development, LLC, through
counsel, Sender Wasserman Wadsworth, P.C. -- objected to the Plan
Support Motion as it request pre-approval of certain provisions
essential to a contemplated future plan of reorganization.  The
trustee argues that for the Plan Support Agreements to move
forward, the Debtor must commit to a payment of $160,000 as a
potential break-up fee.  Also, the Plan Support Motion does not
provide a construction budget or sufficient information to
disclose whether the Plan Support Agreements support a feasible
solution.  Such information must be provided prior to the estate's
committing material resources toward the Plan Support Agreements.

Drake-Williams Steel, Inc., Olson Plumbing & Heating Co., and
Windsor Concrete, Inc., in their objection, stated that the Motion
related to proposed funding by ITG Taxable Fund LLLP.  The Motion
contemplates that the entire Colorado Crossing project will become
titled in the name of SRKO Family Limited Partnership or its
bankruptcy estate.  The proposed financing seeks to pay interest
for a minimum of one year, whether or not principal is repaid or
becomes capable of being of repaid in less than a year and also
regardless of the amount if any drawn on the standby line.  The
standby line also "earns" 35 basis points per month as a fee,
apparently whether or not drawn on.

ITG's proposed financing, if the motion is granted, also may not
allow "other and better offers" to come forward during the plan
process as readily as a modified motion would, because of the
extent of ITG's proposed powers and the time frames required of
SRKO under the proposed financing that might allow an early
default to be declared by ITG.  The combination of the fees,
loan terms, discretionary powers, and deadlines in the ITG
proposal is unfairly favorable to ITG.

Thomas O. Ashby, Esq., at Baird Holm LLP, represented Olson
Plumbing, Windsor Concrete and Drake-Williams.

            Settlement Order Amended to Include Exhibit

Meanwhile, the Bankruptcy Court issued an amended order approving
the settlement agreement and mutual release between C. Randel
Lewis, Chapter 11 trustee for the Jannie Richardson bankruptcy
estate, and The SRKO Family Limited Partnership.  The Court said
that the amendment to the order has been issued to include Exhibit
A, which was inadvertently omitted from the order issued April 9,
2014.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 14, 2014,
N.A. Reiger has withdrawn his limited objection to the motion for
approval of settlement agreement and mutual release dated March 7,
2014.  N.A. Reiger said it has discussed the objection with the
estate's attorney and has read the statements and settlement, and
N.A. Reiger believed that contesting the 65/35/SRKO/Richardson
division of unsecured proceeds will unduly delay the developed
overall workout proposals.

Pursuant to the agreement, the trustee is authorized without
further court order to negotiate and conclude an agreement with
SRKO for a release of liens and deferred payment of the Richardson
estate loan.

In a separate filing, Da Nam Ko, in her capacity as trustee of the
Allen Richardson Dynasty Trust, the Jessica Stinson Dynasty Trust,
and the Jeffrey Stinson Dynasty Trust and Spring Water
Development, LLC, through counsel, Sender Wasserman Wadsworth,
P.C., objected to the motion for approval of settlement agreement
and mutual release, citing these grounds:

   a) an irreconcilable conflict of interest exists where Mr.
Lewis serves as both the Richardson Bankruptcy Trustee and the
manager of SRKO;

   b) the terms of the settlement agreement are not sufficiently
detailed to adequately disclose the economic impact of the
settlement on each bankruptcy estate nor why the proposed trustee
fee is reasonable; and

   c) the settlement motion and settlement agreement constitute a
sub rosa plan and an attempt to circumvent the disclosure
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

SRKO FAMILY: NRC Realty Approved to Market Colorado Crossings
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Sidney B. Brooks authorized The SRKO Family
Limited Partnership to:

   a) employ NRC Realty & Capital Advisors, LLC as exclusive
real estate agent to conduct auction of a 153-acre mixed use
development located off of I-25 on the northern edge of Colorado
Springs commonly known as Colorado Crossing; and

   b) market and solicit bids for the sale of certain of Debtor's
real estate holdings pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code.

The Court also approved procedures to govern the sale.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 18, 2014,
the Debtor requested for authorization to engage an auctioneer to
provide for the potential sale of Colorado Crossings by public
auction as an alternative to the plan of reorganization.

SRKO is still intent to simultaneously pursue a plan of
reorganization providing for the development of Colorado Crossings
over time and the distribution of development net proceeds to
creditors.

Lee M. Kutner, Esq., at Kutner Brinen Garber, P.C., in Denver,
Colorado, explained that by moving forward with an auction and a
plan of reorganization, SRKO will preserve two clear alternatives
for the conclusion of its bankruptcy case.

According to Mr. Kutner, NRC is experienced in selling real estate
from bankruptcy estates. Its previous clients include In re RPM
Financial, Inc., Diamond Quality Stores, LLC, Trailer Sales, Inc.,
and USA Travel Centers, LLC and In re S&A Restaurant Corp.

If hired, NRC will receive a commission of 2% if it procures a bid
that results in a sale approved by the Court. On top of the
commission is a $100,000 minimum fee, regardless of whether the
auction results in a successful bid and sale approved by the
Courts. The Debtor and NRC also agree to a marketing budget of
$98,910 to be used for media advertising and setup of a website,
among other things.

Mr. Kutner related that SRKO and NRC have drafted a sales
procedure that will facilitate the proposed sale. The Sale
Procedures provide that any bid for the Property is subject to
final approval by the Court.

Once the auction is approved by the Court, SRKO and NRC will set
the auction date.  A separate motion will be filed to approve the
bid or bids that SRKO has determined are the best and final offers
of the property.

STAR DYNAMICS: Has Until July 8 to Decide on Property Leases
------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Charles M. Caldwell extended until July 8, 2014,
STAR Dynamics Corporation's time to assume or reject the leases of
the non-residential real property.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 22, 2014,
the extension of time will cover these leases of non-residential
real property:

     (i) 13873 Park Center Road, Herndon, Virginia 20171, with
         Brit-Hallmark LLC, as Lessor, and

    (ii) hanger storage space and airstrip located at Darby Dan
         Airport, 7535 W. Broad Street, Galloway, Ohio 43119,
         with the Galloway Airport Authority, LLC, as Lessor.

The Debtor asserted that there is cause for an extension.  The
Debtor stated that the continued use of the Herndon Location, and
Darby Dan Location is critical to the Debtor's ability to continue
to operate as a going concern, with the ultimate goal of a sale of
all or substantially all of its assets pursuant to Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code.  Further, the Debtor states that the Lessors
may have reversionary interests to the improvements built on their
respective premises, which would represent a windfall to the
Lessors, if their respective leases were rejected at this stage in
the case.  The Debtor further stated that it is in need of
additional time to appraise its financial situation in order to
make an informed decision concerning assumption or rejection of
the Leases, and that it continues to explore all of its options in

the Bankruptcy Code.

STAR DYNAMICS: Bid to Expand Scope of Chantayan's Task Withdrawn
----------------------------------------------------------------
George A. Bavelis, debtor-affiliate of STAR Dynamics Corporation,
notified the Bankruptcy Court that it has withdrawn its motion to
expand the scope of employment of Franck D. Chantayan P.A., to
represent the Debtor's, and the estate's interest in certain state
court litigation pending in Florida Southern District of Ohio.

Chantayan's retention, which was approved on June 3, 2013, was
originally to act as special counsel to the Debtor to represent
the Debtor's interest with respect to the chapter 11 cases of
Mahammad A. Qureshi and MAQ Management, Inc., filed in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.

However, subsequent to Chantayan's retention, the Debtor has
learned of litigation commenced by Ted Doukas in the Circuit Court
of Palm Beach County, Florida, on behalf of R.P.M. Recoveries
against BNK Real Estate, LLC, to purportedly unwind the assignment
of a certain note and mortgage from Evergreen Elder Care by GMAQ,
LLC to BNK, which mortgage has been the subject of extensive
litigation before the Court.

TELEXFREE INC: Gardy & Notis Files Securities Class Action
----------------------------------------------------------
Gardy & Notis, LLP on May 14 disclosed that it has filed a class
action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts, Case No. 14-CV-12058, on behalf of
Samuel E. Griffith, and all similarly-situated persons and
entities who purchased TelexFree "memberships" between January 1,
2012 and the present.  The action is brought against the
management and top promoters of TelexFree, Inc., TelexFree LLC,
TelexFree Financial, Inc., and Telex Mobile Holdings, Inc.
(collectively, "TelexFree"), and alleges that the "memberships"
offered and sold to Plaintiff and the Class were unregistered
securities, the selling of which violated Section 12(a)(1) of the
Securities Act of 1933.

The action alleges that TelexFree was an illegal pyramid scheme
whereby Defendants offered and/or sold "memberships" that promised
investment returns of over 200% per year and did not require
investors to perform any actual work or sell any TelexFree
product.

On April 14, 2014, TelexFree filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy,
admitting that it cannot meet its obligations to its members and
sought authority to reject all its current obligations to Class
members.  On April 15, 2014, the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission filed an action in the District of
Massachusetts against TelexFree and the same Defendants for
securities fraud in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, fraud in the offer or sale of securities, in
violation of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"), and for the offer or sale of unregistered
securities, in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act.  On
the same day, the Massachusetts Securities Division Enforcement
Section filed an administrative complaint against TelexFree and
Common Cents Communications, Inc., a predecessor of TelexFree, for
securities fraud and for the sale of unregistered securities.

Plaintiff seeks rescission and damages on behalf of the Class.
The plaintiff is represented by Gardy & Notis, LLP, which has
expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive
experience in actions involving financial fraud.

If you purchased a TelexFree membership and you wish to serve as
lead plaintiff, you may move the Court no later than 60 days from
today (no later than July 14, 2014).  Any member of the putative
class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through
counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain a
member of the proposed class.

                         About TelexFREE

TelexFREE -- http://www.TelexFREE.com-- is a telecommunications
business that uses multi-level marketing to assist in the
distribution of voice over internet protocol telephone services.
TelexFree's retail VoIP product, 99TelexFree, allows for unlimited
international calling to seventy countries for a flat monthly rate
of $49.90.  TelexFREE has over 700,000 associates or promoters
worldwide.

The company believes the sales of the 99TelexFree product, the
TelexFree "app," and other new products will ultimately prove
successful and profitable.  The company is struggling, however,
with several factors that required it to seek chapter 11
protection.  First, the Company experienced exponential growth in
revenue between 2012 and 2013 (from de minimus amounts to over $1
billion), which put tremendous pressure on the Company's
financial, operational and management systems.  Second, although
the company revised its original compensation plan to promoters in
order to address certain questions that were raised regarding such
plan, the company believes that the plans need to be further
revised.  Finally, the trailing liabilities arising from the
original compensation plan are difficult to quantify and have
resulted in substantial asserted liabilities against the company,
a number of which may not be valid.

TelexFREE LLC and two affiliates sought bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. D. Nev. Lead Case No. 14-12525) on April 13, 2014.

Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC is serving as restructuring
advisor and Greenberg Traurig, LLP and Gordon Silver are serving
as legal advisors to TelexFREE.

TelexFree, LLC, estimated $50 million to $100 million in assets
and $100 million to $500 million in liabilities.

The Debtors have been notified that they must file their schedules
of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs by
April 27, 2014.

                     About Thompson Creek Metals

Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. is a growing, diversified North
American mining company.  The Company produces molybdenum at its
100%-owned Thompson Creek Mine in Idaho and Langeloth
Metallurgical Facility in Pennsylvania and its 75%-owned Endako
Mine in northern British Columbia.  The Company is also in the
process of constructing the Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine in
central British Columbia, which is expected to commence production
in 2013.  The Company's development projects include the Berg
copper-molybdenum-silver property and the Davidson molybdenum
property, both located in central British Columbia.  Its principal
executive office is in Denver, Colorado and its Canadian
administrative office is in Vancouver, British Columbia.  More
information is available at http://www.thompsoncreekmetals.com

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $3.42
billion in total assets, $2.04 billion in total liabilities and
$1.37 billion in stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 14, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on Denver-
based molybdenum miner Thompson Creek Metals Co. to 'CCC+' from
'B-'.  "These rating actions follow Thompson Creek's announcement
of weaker production and higher cost expectations through next
year," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Donald Marleau.

In the May 9, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc.'s Corporate Family
Rating (CFR) and probability of default rating to Caa1 from B3.
Thompson Creek's Caa1 CFR reflects its concentration in
molybdenum, relatively small size, heavy reliance currently on two
mines, and the need for favorable volume and price trends in order
to meet its increasingly aggressive capital expenditure
requirements over the next several years.


UNIVERSAL COOPERATIVES: Files for Chapter 11 to Sell Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------
Universal Cooperatives, Inc., an Eagan, Minnesota-based inter-
regional farm supply cooperative, and its affiliates commenced
bankruptcy cases to pursue a prompt sale of their assets.

According to Universal, units Heritage Trading Company, LLC and
Bridon Cordage LLC have historically been, and remain, profitable
businesses.  Because of the positive net income these two business
units generate, the Debtors believe that there is a viable market
for their assets and the potential to sell their assets and
operations on a going concern basis.

Universal at present has five business units:

      (i) Bridon Cordage LLC, a manufacturer of polypropylene
baler twine, industrial twines and industrial fibers.  Bridon
currently has approximately 130 employees and has manufacturing
locations in Albert Lea, Minnesota, and Jerome, Idaho.  Through
eight months ended March 31, 2014, Bridon has generated $33
million in sales and $300,000 in operating income.

     (ii) Heritage Trading Company, LLC, a Kansas City, Missouri-
based distribution company focused on feed/farm stores in the
United States.  Through eight months ended March 31, 2014,
Heritage has generated $23 million in sales and $200,000 in
operating income.

    (iii) Universal Crop Protection Alliance, LLC, a Napoleon,
Ohio facility that packages and distributes proprietary crop
protection products.  For the eight months ended on March 31,
2014, UCPA generated $11.6 million in revenue with an operating
loss of $600,000.  UCPA has been actively selling its inventory
and expects to discontinue active operations in the very near
future.

     (iv) UCI do Brasil, which operated a plant located in
Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.  For the eight months ended on March 31,
2014, UCI do Brasil generated $8.9 million in revenue with an
operating loss of $1.2 million.  The Debtors determined to wind-
down all UCI do Brasil operations.  Universal is currently in
negotiations to sell UCI do Brasil's real property assets in
Brazil.

      (v) Sainte Germaine S.A., a France-based subsidiary and
distributor of sisal and polypropylene baler twines, bale wrap/
stretch film, and netting.  For the eight months of fiscal 2014
ended on March 31, 2014, Sainte Germaine generated $6.1 million in
revenue with an operating loss of $700,000.  The Debtors have
determined to wind-down or sell the Sainte Germaine operations.
Universal is currently in discussions with a third party to
purchase substantially all of Sainte Germaine's assets and
operations subject to and under French law.  Universal
contemplates that all of Sainte Germaine's assets will be
liquidated and all employees released during the pendency of the
Chapter 11 cases.

A few months before the Petition Date, the Debtors sold two
businesses: (a) Animal Health, which assisted the Debtors' members
in the marketing of packaged health care products for livestock
and companion animals, and Pet's Corner, a Bloomington, Minnesota-
marketer of rawhide dog chews.

The Debtors blamed their liquidity woes on deteriorating margins,
intense competition for certain lines of business, and funding
their defined benefit pension plan.  Decreased liquidity in 2013,
in combination with reduced inventory reserves and vendors'
refusal or inability to provide extended payment terms for
purchased inventory, undermined the Debtors' ability to purchase
inventory at the rate required to operate at full levels.  By
January of 2014, sales were 40% of the prior comparable year.

The Debtors owe $7.44 million on a revolving loan and $1.55
million on a term loan provided by lenders, led by Bank of
America, N.A., as agent.  The Debtors entered into a forbearance
agreement with BofA in March following a default under the credit
agreements.

                      Sale of the Assets

The Debtors received a letter of interest on April 25, 2014, from
a strategic (i.e. agribusiness) buyer with respect to the assets
of both Bridon and Heritage.  The Debtors intend to enter into an
asset purchase agreement, which would include provisions for the
assumption and assignment of specified contracts, and conduct a
competitive sale process with a stalking horse bidder, subject to
the approval of the Court and consistent with their obligations
under post-petition financing arrangements.

With respect to Animal Health and Pet's Corner, prior to the
Petition Date, the Debtors determined that the best manner in
which to maximize stakeholder value with respect to those
businesses was to liquidate their underlying assets prior to the
necessity of filing the Chapter 11 cases.  The assets of the
Animal Health Business Unit were sold to Tennessee Farmers
Cooperative (a voting member) for $934,400.  Southern States
Cooperative, Inc. purchased $20,000 of current Pet's Corner
inventory with the remaining inventory written off.

The Debtors, in consultation with their advisors, further
concluded that a sale of all or substantially all of UCPA's assets
will maximize stakeholder value for such assets. Accordingly, the
Debtors intend to implement an orderly sale process with respect
to UCPA.

                       First-Day Motions

On the day of the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors filed motions to,
among other things,

    * continue their customer programs;
    * pay prepetition employee wages;
    * grant adequate assurance of payment to utilities;
    * maintain their existing insurance policies; and
    * access postpetition financing.

The Debtors are seeking joint administration of their Chapter 11
cases.

UNIVERSAL COOPERATIVES: Has $13MM DIP Financing from BofA
---------------------------------------------------------
Universal Cooperatives, Inc. and its affiliates ask the bankruptcy
court for permission to obtain $13 million of postpetition
financing on a senior secured superpriority basis from existing
lenders led by Bank of America N.A., as agent.

The Debtors say that the DIP Facility and proposed use of cash
collateral is vital to their ability to continue to operate with
the goal of consummating a going concern sale.

protection in the form of replacement liens, an allowed
superpriority administrative expense claim, and payments of
interest and fees.

Limestone Co. technically closed to fulfill a bankruptcy plan,
laying off all employees by Friday, May 2, and reopened under new

an offer.  ICF served as stalking horse bidder with a credit bid
of $26 million at an auction slated for April 14.

                       About Victor Oolitic

WEST CORP: Annual Meeting Held to Discuss Results
-------------------------------------------------
West Corporation's annual meeting of stockholders was held on
May 13, 2014, at 11808 Miracle Hills Drive, Omaha, Nebraska.  The
Company's presentation used at the Annual Meeting is available for
free at http://is.gd/MM3rEq

                       About West Corporation

Founded in 1986 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, West
Corporation -- http://www.west.com/-- provides outsourced
communication solutions to many of the world's largest companies,
organizations and government agencies.  West Corporation has a
team of 41,000 employees based in North America, Europe and Asia.

West Corp posted net income of $143.20 million in 2013, as
compared with net income of $125.54 million in 2012.  The
Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed $3.54 billion in
total assets, $4.25 billion in total liabilities and a $709.40
million total stockholders' deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in
default, and as a result:

   * our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and
     interest to be due and payable;

   * the lenders under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities could
     terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose
     against the assets securing our borrowings; and

   * we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation," the
     Company said in its quarterly report for the period ended
     March 31, 2014.

                           *    *     *

As reported by the TCR on June 21, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Omaha, Neb.-based
business process outsourcer West Corp. to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The
upgrade reflects Standard & Poor's view that lower debt leverage
and a less aggressive financial policy will strengthen the
company's financial profile.

In the April 4, 2013, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investor Service
upgraded West Corporation's Corporate Family Rating to B1 from B2.
"The CFR upgrade to B1 reflects West's shift to a more
conservative capital structure and financial policies as a
publicly owned company", stated Moody's analyst Suzanne Wingo.


WP MUSTANG: Moody's Assigns 'B3' Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned to WP Mustang Holdings LLC a B3
Corporate Family Rating (CFR), a B3-PD probability of default
rating, and B1 and Caa2 ratings to the company's senior 1st lien
and 2nd lien credit facilities, respectively. The ratings outlook
is stable. WP Mustang Holdings LLC is the parent company of
Electronic Funds Source LLC (EFS) formed in connection with EFS'
acquisition by Warburg Pincus LLC for approximately $1.2 billion.
WP Mustang Holdings LLC will use the proceeds from the new credit
facilities and $492 million of equity to finance the acquisition
and pay transaction fees and expenses.

Ratings Rationale

The B3 CFR reflects EFS' high total debt to EBITDA leverage, which
Moody's expects will remain over 7.0x over the next 12 to 18
months, the company's modest operating scale, and its narrow
market focus primarily serving the Over-the-Road (OTR) long-haul
trucking and transportation customers. The rating also reflects
EFS' history of growth from acquisitions and Moody's view that the
company will pursue shareholder-friendly policies under its
financial sponsors. EFS' credit profile also incorporates its
exposure to customer credit risk from its short-term card
receivables and liquidity risk in funding these receivables.
However, the company limits its exposure through a variety of
proprietary risk management programs, customer purchase
authorization and controls, security deposits and by extending
credit for only short durations.

The rating is supported by EFS' leading position in the niche OTR
trucking market, recurring transaction-based revenues, and its
strong EBITDA margins. Moody's expects EFS to generate free cash
flow of at least 5% of total debt driven by organic revenue growth
of about mid to high single digit percentages and stable EBITDA
margins in the high 50% range (incorporating Moody's standard
analytical adjustments).

The stable ratings outlook reflects EFS' good liquidity and
revenue and free cash flow growth prospects.

Moody's could upgrade EFS' ratings if the company maintains good
liquidity and generates strong free cash flow growth driven by
sustained earnings growth. The ratings could be raised if Moody's
believes that EFS will maintain total debt to EBITDA (Moody's
adjusted) below 6.0x and the company produces free cash flow in
the high single digit percentages of total debt.

Moody's could downgrade EFS' ratings if the company's liquidity
deteriorates, revenues and EBITDA margins decline, or free cash
flow weakens to the low single digit percentages of total debt for
a prolonged period.

ZALE CORP: Board Recommends Approval of Signet Transaction
----------------------------------------------------------
Zale Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission a solicitation material in connection with the proposed
transaction with Signet Jewelers Limited.  The Company's Board
believes the proposed transaction represents compelling and
immediate value for shareholders.

On Nov. 7, 2013, Signet submitted a proposal to acquire all of the
Company's outstanding common stock at a price of $19 per share in
cash.  The Board felt the offer did not represent sufficient value
to stockholders and, absent an in crease in the proposed value,
would not engage with, or provide due diligence to, Signet.

In February 2014, Signet increased its offer price to $21 in cash
per share of the Company's common stock.

The Board has unanimously recommended stockholders to vote FOR the
proposed transaction.

* Gambling Debts Not Automatically Non-Dischargeable
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that two casinos failed to establish a precedent that an
unpaid gambling debt automatically becomes non-dischargeable in an
individual's bankruptcy.

According to the report, on a trip to Las Vegas that resulted in
his bankruptcy, an individual signed so-called markers at two
casinos for total of about $1.2 million. To grant credit, the
casinos ran a credit check on the company the individual owned.

The casinos contended that the gambling debt was nondischargeable
under Section 523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code as a willful and
malicious injury, the report related.  The casinos introduced
evidence only about their credit analysis and didn't provide any
evidence about the gambler's knowledge of his financial condition.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David R. Jones discharged the debt, the
report further related.  His opinion was upheld by U.S. District
Judge Sim Lake in Houston.

Judge Lake said it was unclear from the record whether the gambler
"was in fact unable to pay the markers when he signed them," the
report added.  Indeed, the judge said, the record indicated he had
$1 million in chips and several hundred thousand dollars in
company bank accounts.

The case is Nevada Property I LLC v. D'Amico (In re D'Amico), 13-
3592, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston).


* Reopening Not Required for Dischargeability Complaint
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that an individual's closed Chapter 7 case need not be
reopened for a creditor to file an adversary proceeding regarding
the dischargeability of a debt under Section 523(a)(3)(B) of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel in St. Louis ruled
April 22.

According to the report, a bankruptcy judge had dismissed the
dischargeability complaint because the creditor refused to pay the
fee and file a motion to reopen the case. Writing for the three-
judge appellate panel, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert J. Kressel
reversed.

Judge Kressel cited a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in San
Francisco in Staffer v. Predovich, which held that reopening a
case isn't necessary to file a dischargeability complaint, the
report related.

Jurisdiction is bestowed by statute and doesn't end when a plan is
confirmed or a case is confirmed, Judge Kressel said, the report
further related.  While reopening may be convenient for the clerk,
it doesn't affect jurisdiction.

Judge Kressel said a dischargeability complaint has little impact
on the rest of the case and doesn't require reopening, the report
added.  Also, filing a new adversary proceeding requires opening
an entirely new docket anyway.

The case is Goldstein v. Diamond (In re Diamond), 14-6001, U.S.
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit (St. Louis).


* Property Tax Rebate Isn't Public Assistance Benefit
-----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a property tax refund resulting from a Minnesota tax-
abatement statute isn't an exempt asset as "government assistance
based on need," the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel in St. Louis said
April 22.

According to the report, an 88-year-old widow living entirely on
Social Security and who owned a $200,000 home with $150,000 in
equity filed in Chapter 7.  She claimed that a $2,000 real estate
tax refund was exempt and won in bankruptcy court. The trustee
appealed, winning a reversal.

The widow based her argument on a state statute providing a non-
exclusive list of items that are exempt as being forms of "public
assistance," the report related.  The tax refund wasn't
specifically mentioned.

Another state statute provides real estate tax refunds for
homeowners whose property taxes exceed specified percentages of
household income, the report further related.  The refund
disappears on a sliding scale until it's gone for those with
incomes above $103,000.

Writing for the three-judge appellate panel, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Arthur B. Federman relied in part on the same court's decision in
December in Hardy v. Fink holding that federal child tax credit
isn't public assistance and isn't exempt in Missouri, the report
added.

The case is Manty v. Johnson (In re Johnson), 13-6050, U.S.
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit (St. Louis).

Charles Kettering was born on a farm in northern Ohio in 1876.
He once said, "I am enthusiastic about being an American because
I came from the hills in Ohio. I was a hillbilly. I didn't know
at that time that I was an underprivileged person because I had
to drive the cows through the frosty grass and stand in a nice
warm spot where a cow had lain to warm my (bare) feet. I thought
that was wonderful. I walked three miles to the high school in a
little village and I thought that was wonderful, too. I thought
of all that as opportunity. I didn't know you had to have money.
I didn't know you had to have all these luxuries that we want
everybody to have today."

Charles Kettering is the embodiment of the American success
story. He was a farmer, schoolteacher, mechanic, engineer,
scientist, inventor and social philosopher. He faced adversity
in the form of poor eyesight that plagued him all his life. He
was forced to drop out of college twice due to his vision before
completing his electrical engineering degree.

Kettering went on to become a leading researcher for the U.S.
automotive industry. His company, Dayton Engineering
Laboratories, Delco, was eventually sold to General Motors and
became the foundation for the General Motors Research
Corporation of which Kettering became vice president in 1920. He
is best remembered for his invention of the all-electric
starting, ignition and lighting system for automobiles, which
replaced the crank. It first appeared as standard equipment on
the 1912 Cadillac.

Kettering held more than 300 patents ranging from a portable
lighting system, Freon, and a World War I "aerial torpedo," to a
device for the treatment of venereal disease and an incubator
for premature infants. He conceived the ideas of Duco paint and
ethyl gasoline, pursued the development of diesel engines and
solar energy, and was a pioneer in the application of magnetism
to medical diagnostic techniques.

This book shows the wisdom and common sense of Kettering's
approach to engineering and life. It received favorable reviews
when was first published in 1957. The New York Times called it
an "old-fashioned narrative biography, written in clean,
straight-line prose-no nuances, no overtones, .but with enough
of Kettering's philosophy and aphorisms, his tang and humor, to
convey his personality." The New York Herald Tribune Book Review
said, "(t)his lively book is particularly successful in its
reflection of Kettering's restless, searching mind and tough
persistence."

Kettering once showed a passing tramp the "fun" of digging holes
properly and gave him a job. The man, then promoted to foreman,
later told Kettering, "(i)f only years ago someone had taught me
how much fun it is to work, when a fellow tries to do good work,
I would never have become the bum I was." Kettering once
advised, ".whenever a new idea is laid on the table it is pushed
at once into the wastebasket. (i)f your idea is right, get to
that wastebasket before the janitor. Dig your idea out and lay
it back on the table. Do that again and again and again. And
after you have persisted for three or four years, people will
say 'Why, it does begin to look as through there is something to
that after all.'"

Charles Kettering died on November 24, 1958.

Thomas Alvin Boyd was a chemical engineer and a member of
Charles Kettering's research staff for more than 30 years.

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
