                     About Eastmond & Sons

A.L. Eastmond & Sons, Inc., Easco Boiler Corp. and Eastmond & Sons

ACRISURE LLC: S&P Assigns 'B' CCR, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has assigned its
'B' corporate credit rating to Acrisure Holdings Inc.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its ratings, including its issue-level ratings,
on core subsidiary Acrisure LLC.  The outlook is stable.

Acrisure Holdings is the ultimate parent of Acrisure LLC and the
entity where the group's financial statements reside.  Acrisure
LLC, the issuer of the debt, continues to operate the subsidiary
companies, which are the guarantors on the debt.  "Acrisure LLC is
a financing subsidiary that is core to the ultimate parent, so our
ratings on these companies are linked," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Stephen Guijarro.  "The rating reflects what we
consider to be Acrisure's fair business risk and highly leveraged
financial risk profiles."

The stable outlook on Acrisure Holdings reflects S&P's expectation
that its credit metrics will show limited movement over the next 12
months due to improved cash flow arising from increased scale and
modest organic growth, although S&P believes its aggressive
acquisition strategy will offset some of the natural deleveraging
that will occur.  Under S&P's base-case assumptions, it expects
revenue growth of 80%-90% for 2016 and 30%-40% in 2017 with margins
of 30%-33% over same time period resulting in adjusted debt to
EBITDA of 7.0x-7.5x and adjusted EBITDA interest coverage (pro
forma for annualized earnings from mergers and acquisitions) of
2.0x-2.5x in 2016-2017.

"We would consider lowering the ratings in the next 12 months if we
believe Acrisure's organic growth, cash flow generation, or margins
were to meaningfully deteriorate, putting pressure on its execution
of strategy, increasing the risk of higher-than-expected financial
leverage and/or weaker-than-expected EBITDA coverage," Mr. Guijarro
continued.  "The specific trigger points that could lead to a
downgrade include financial leverage above 7.5x and EBITDA coverage
below 2.0x on a sustained basis."

Although an upgrade is unlikely within the next 12 months, S&P
could raise the rating if cash flow generation were to improve
financial leverage and EBITDA coverage to reflect a
more-conservative level (financial leverage of less than 5.0x and
EBITDA coverage of 4.0x-5.0x) that we would expect the company to
sustain.

                 About Affirmative Insurance

Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc., Affirmative Management
Services, Inc., Affirmative Services, Inc., Affirmative
Underwriting Services, Inc., Affirmative Insurance Services, Inc.,
Affirmative General Agency, Inc., Affirmative Insurance Group,
Inc. and Affirmative, L.L.C. sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D. Del. Proposed Lead Case No. 15-12136) on Oct.
14, 2015.

The petition was signed by Michael J. McClure as chief executive
officer.

The Debtors have engaged McDermott Will & Emery LLP as general
bankruptcy counsel, Polsinelli PC as local Delaware counsel,
Faegre Baker Daniels LLP as special regulatory counsel, BDO USA LLP
as financial consultant and Rust Consulting/Omni Bankruptcy as
notice and claims agent.

The Debtors disclosed total assets of $25.20 million and total
debts of $91.26 million as of Aug. 31, 2015.

Founded in June 1998, Affirmative provides non-standard personal
automobile insurance policies for individual consumers in targeted
geographic markets.  NSPAI policies provide coverage to drivers
who find it difficult to obtain insurance from standard automobile
insurance companies due to their lack of prior insurance, age,
driving record, limited financial resources, or other factors.

On Oct. 30, 2015, the Office of the U.S. Trustee appointed five
creditors to the official committee of unsecured creditors.  The
Committee consists of Alesco Preferred Funding X, Ltd., c/o ATP
Management LLC; Alesco Preferred Funding VI, Ltd., c/o Mead Park
Advisors LLC; Trapeza CDO IX, Ltd.; Trapeza Edge CDO, Ltd.; and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Co., N.A., as Indenture Trustee
for junior subordinated debt securities due March 15, 2035.  The
Committee selected Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP as its
counsel, Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP as cocounsel, and FTI
Consulting, Inc. as its financial advisor.

Anne Melissa Dowling, Insurance of the State of Illinois Acting
Director, as the statutory and court-affirmed rehabilitator of
Affirmative Insurance Company, is represented by Saul Ewing LLP's
Mark Minuti, Esq.; and Faye B. Feinstein, Esq., and Christopher
Combest, Esq., at Quarles & Brady LLP.

Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc., et al., filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware a Chapter 11 plan of
liquidation and accompanying disclosure statement, which propose
to pay 2% to holders of general unsecured claims against Holdco.

Holders of general unsecured claims against AMSI, ASI, AUSI, AISI,
AGAI, AIGI, and ALLC, will recover 0% of their allowed claims.
AFFM Debt Holdings L.P., which holds secured claims, will recover
92% of its allowed claims.  

The filing of a plan of liquidation, however, failed to convince
the Delaware bankruptcy judge to let the debtors keep their Chapter
11 cases.

Judge Christopher S. Sontchi said March 10 that Affirmative
Insurance Holdings and its debtor-affiliates will liquidate in
Chapter 7, thus granting a request for case conversion by the
official committee of unsecured creditors.  In a separate order
that day, Judge Sontchi directed the Office of the United States
Trustee to appoint a Chapter 7 trustee to oversee the liquidation.


AFFIRMATIVE INSURANCE: Potter Anderson Okayed as Panel Co-Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Cour for the District of Delaware authorized
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11
cases of Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc., et al., to retain
Potter Anderson as its Delaware co-counsel.

Etta R. Mayers, on behalf of Potter Anderson counsel for the
Committee, certified that as of Dec. 9, 2015, Anne Melissa Dowling,
acting director of Insurance of the State of Illinois confirmed
that the supplemental declaration of Jeremy W. Ryan resolved the
limited objection filed on Dec. 7.

In the declaration of Mr. Ryan, amon other things, he identified
Affirmative Insrance Company (AIC) as a "former client" of Potter
Anderson.

Ms. Dowling, in her limited objection, said that AIC is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Debtor Affirmative Insurance Group,
Inc., which is, in turn, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Debtor
Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc.

The rehabilitator currently has no other information regarding the
nature or extent of the AIC Matter referred to in the declaration;
she cannot know, therefore, whether Potter Anderson received
confidential or privileged information during the course (however
brief) of the AIC Matter. The rehabilitator believes it is possible
that she will require disclosure from Potter Anderson of
information regarding the AIC Matter.  In light of Potter
Anderson's discussions with AIC, the rehabilitator believes it
would be prejudicial to AIC and the rehabilitator for Potter
Anderson to be adverse to AIC in any adversary proceedings or
contested matters in these  cases.

The Committee, in its motion, said that in order to avoid any
duplication of efforts, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP as its
lead counsel, and Potter Anderson have discussed each firm's
respective responsibilities in connection with the representation
of the Committee.

Potter Anderson is expected to, among other things:

   1. provide the Committee advice on its obligations and duties;

   2. execute Committee decisions by filing motions, objections or
other documents with the Court; and

  3. appear before the Court on all matters n the cases relevant to
the interests of unsecured creditors.

The hourly rates of firm's personnel are:

         Partners                                $445 - $1,075
         Of Counsel                              $425 -   $630
         Associates                              $310 -   $445
         Paralegals                              $175 -   $295
         Other Administrative Staff               $95 -   $205

Potter Anderson will also seek reimbursement for necessary expense
incurred.

To the best of the Committee's knowledge, Potter Adnderson is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

to pay 2% to holders of general unsecured claims against Holdco.

Holders of general unsecured claims against AMSI, ASI, AUSI, AISI,
AGAI, AIGI, and ALLC, will recover 0% of their allowed claims.
AFFM Debt Holdings L.P., which holds secured claims, will recover
92% of its allowed claims.  

The filing of a plan of liquidation, however, failed to convince
the Delaware bankruptcy judge to let the debtors keep their Chapter
11 cases.

Judge Christopher S. Sontchi said March 10 that Affirmative
Insurance Holdings and its debtor-affiliates will liquidate in
Chapter 7, thus granting a request for case conversion by the
official committee of unsecured creditors.  In a separate order
that day, Judge Sontchi directed the Office of the United States
Trustee to appoint a Chapter 7 trustee to oversee the liquidation.


ALLIED CONSOLIDATED: U.S. Steel Asks for Trustee to Oversee Cases
-----------------------------------------------------------------
United States Steel Corporation on April 19, 2016, filed a motion
asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio
to appoint a trustee to replace the debtors in possession and take
immediate control of the business affairs and reorganization
efforts of debtors Allied Consolidated Industries, Inc., Allied
Erecting and Dismantling Co., Inc., Allied Industrial Scrap, Inc.,
and Allied Gator, Inc.

U.S. Steel, a creditor, says that a trustee should be appointed in
light of Debtors' own conflicting representations, as well as
findings of fact entered last month by Judge Sara Lioi of the
Northern District of Ohio:

  * First, the Debtors have made wildly conflicting statements
concerning their financial affairs in various court filings.  For
example, in seeking a stay of execution of a $9.8 million judgment
obtained by United States Steel Corporation in Allied Erecting and
Dismantling Co., Inc. v. United States Steel Corporation, N.D. Ohio
Case. No. 4:12-cv-1390 ("U.S. Steel Litigation"), AED represented
to Judge Lioi just last October that it "owns property and
equipment with a cost value of $96,106,197 and a net book value of
$55,603,367 -- all of which has been conservatively valued at a
total of $30,400,338."  When it filed its Chapter 11 petition,
however, AED represented to this Court that its "estimated assets"
total no more than $50,000.  The precipitous decline in the value
of AED's assets in a mere six months suggests a misrepresentation
about the true value of those assets to one or both courts, and/or
gross mismanagement of AED's affairs.

   * Second, in denying AED's motion for stay of execution, Judge
Lioi found that, since the June 2015 verdict in the U.S. Steel
Litigation, AED has been transferring assets worth millions of
dollars to affiliates and creating multi-million dollar security
interests for its long-time attorneys and accountants.  Indeed,
Judge Lioi determined that AED transferred assets worth $8.6
million to an affiliate "five days after the Court issued the $9.8
million Judgment Entry in U. S. Steel's favor in this case."  The
Court also found that AED is consistently losing substantial money
from its operations and that "it is very questionable whether
Allied can continue as a going concern."

"These circumstances raise serious issues about the honesty of the
Debtors' current management and its competency in managing Debtors'
affairs.  Simply stated, the Debtors' current management cannot be
trusted to preserve the value of the bankruptcy estate for U.S.
Steel and other creditors.  Accordingly, a trustee should be
appointed for all the Debtors," U.S. Steel tells the Bankruptcy
Court.

                     About Allied Consolidated

Allied Consolidated Industries, Inc., and three affiliates sought
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Ohio Case No. 16-40672 to 40675)
on April 13, 2016, in Youngstown, Ohio.  The cases are jointly
administered under the case of Allied Consolidated, Case No.
16-40675.  The case is assigned to Judge Kay Woods.

The Debtors tapped Melissa M. Macejko, Esq., at Suhar & Macejko,
LLC, as counsel.

Allied Consolidated estimated less than $50,000 in assets and debt.
Debtor-affiliate Allied Erecting & Dismantling Co., Inc.,
estimated less than $50,000 in assets and $10 million to $50
million in debt.


ALLIED FINANCIAL: Seeks $50K Financing From Allied Management
-------------------------------------------------------------
Allied Financial, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico to authorize it to obtain postpetition
financing from Allied Management Group, Inc.

The Debtor relates that it has worked diligently to identify
substantial unsecured financing, but has been unable to secure such
financing.  The Debtor further relates that the only source of
postpetition financing that it has been able to obtain is from
Allied Management Group Inc.

The proposed postpetition financing contains these terms:

   (a) Allied Management Group, Inc. will provide $50,000 in
secured financing to the Debtor;

   (b) The debt will accumulate interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Prime Rate in effect on the date of the Order approving the
secured post-petition financing, annually and will receive a second
rank mortgage over the Debtor's Morovis Property.

   (c) Of this financing, the Debtor will use the proceeds to pay
expenses in the normal and ordinary course of business;

   (d) The Debtor will repay this obligation along with other
eligible and allowed administrative expenses on the Effective Date
of Debtor's Plan of Reorganization or as otherwise agreed between
the parties.

The Debtor contends that this proposed financing is in the best
interests of the estate and the creditors because it will allow the
Debtor to continue generating revenue for payment to the unsecured
creditors under a Plan of Reorganization.

ALROSE KING: Plan Administrator Seeks to Adjourn Reopening Hearing
------------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph S. Maniscalco, as plan administrator for Alrose King David
LLC (AKD), asked the Bankruptcy Court to adjourn sine die the
hearing on the Motion to Reopen.

Joseph S. Maniscalco, Esq., was appointed as the administrator of
the AKD Plan.  The effective date of the AKD Plan was June 18,
2012.  The EDNY Court issued a final decree and order closing the
First Chapter 11 case on March 18, 2014.

On Feb. 10, 2016, the Plan Administrator filed his motion to reopen
and convert to Chapter 7 the First Chapter 11 Case.  According to
the Motion to Reopen, the Plan Administrator represented that the
sum of $1,809,162 was paid in the GUC Distribution Fund, leaving a
balance owed in the amount of $190,838 plus attorney's fees and
costs.

                        About Alrose King

Alrose King David LLC, owner of a 140-room Allegria Hotel located
at 80 W. Broadway, Long Beach, New York, filed a Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 16-10536) on March 4,
2016.  The petition was signed by Allen Rosenberg as managing
member.  The Debtor estimated both assets and liabilities in the
range of $10 million to $50 million.  Foley & Lardner LLP
represents the Debtor as counsel.

This is Alrose King's second bankruptcy filing.  In July 2011,
following an action by secured creditor Brooklyn Federal Savings
Bank and other vendors, the Debtor sought protection under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Eastern District of New York, Case
No. 11-75361.

By order dated June 18, 2012, the Debtor's Plan of Reorganization
was confirmed, and on the same date, Joseph S. Maniscalco, Esq.,
was appointed as the administrator of the AKD Plan.  The effective
date of the AKD Plan was June 18, 2012.  The EDNY Court issued a
final decree and order closing the First Chapter 11 case on March
18, 2014.

The AKD Plan provides for the establishment of a GUC Distribution
Fund and sets forth a schedule for the funding of the GUC
Distribution Fund.  Under the AKD Plan, a total of $2 million was
to be paid into the GUC Distribution Fund by the Debtor, the
Reorganized Debtor, Allegria and Mr. Rosenberg.  Pursuant to a
Stipulation and Order dated Feb. 24, 2014, the payment schedule set
forth in the AKD Plan was modified to extend certain of the due
dates and deadlines.  Additional extensions were granted by the
Plan Administrator at Mr. Rosenberg's request.

On Oct. 20, 2015, written notice was provided by the Plan
Administrator to the Debtor and Allegria of the default under the
AKD Plan.  The Debtor said it failed to cure its default under the
AKD Plan to date.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Moody's Assigns Ba1 Rating on New $750MM Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating to the new $750
million, seven year term loan that American Airlines, Inc. plans to
arrange.  Moody's also affirmed its corporate debt ratings of
American Airlines Group, Inc. ("AAG"): Corporate Family of Ba3,
Probability of Default of Ba3-PD, Senior Secured of Ba1 and Senior
Unsecured rating of B1.  The ratings outlook is stable.

                        RATINGS RATIONALE

Proceeds of the new loan will refinance the company's $588 million
senior secured term loan due Nov. 23, 2016, the balance will be
used for general corporate purposes.  The new loan will be
collateralized by the spare parts inventory for the company's
mainline fleet.  AAG will guarantee American's obligations under
the new facility, similar to the company's other bank credit
facilities.

The Ba3 Corporate Family rating considers the company's position as
one of the four leaders in the US domestic market based on size,
credit metrics that are reflective of the Ba rating category and
limited free cash flow as the company continues to renew its
aircraft fleet, mostly with debt-funding.  The rating anticipates
little strengthening of metrics from year end 2015 levels (Debt to
EBITDA of 3.8x, FFO + Interest to Interest of 4.8x) as the benefits
of lower fuel expense are offset by 1) higher labor costs, and 2)
moderating growth in passenger demand and continuing pressure on
unit revenues for the US airline industry.  The rating also
reflects American's very good liquidity and Moody's belief that the
US players including American will raise fares when the cost of oil
increases and reduce capacity should demand weaken, to maintain the
pursuit of earning targeted returns on invested capital.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation of little change in
the company's metrics profile through 2016.  Moody's estimates
modest free cash flow in 2016 of between $500 million and $1.0
billion, meaningfully less than the dollar value of its shares the
company will repurchase.  The company's large order book will
require higher capital investment than its peers after 2016.  The
larger investment and weaker free cash flow will likely lead to
increases in funded debt, slowing the pace of improvement in AAG's
credit metrics profile beyond 2016.

A global macroeconomic shock that leads to wide-spread declines in
passenger demand is the most significant risk to upwards rating
pressure.  Moody's also believes that industry-wide increases in
the cost of jet fuel can mostly be covered by higher fares as long
as demand remains about steady.  The strategy of not hedging
exposure to increasing fuel prices does leave AAG more exposed than
peers that do hedge some of their fuel needs.  A positive rating
action could occur if: 1) AAG reduces debt to limit pressure on
credit metrics when industry fundamentals weaken, including
declines in demand or higher fuel prices that cannot be covered by
higher fares; 2) Debt to EBITDA is less than 3.5 times, Funds from
Operations + Interest to Interest is above 5 times and the EBITDA
margin is sustained near 25%; 3) positive free cash flow is
sustained near 5% of debt, a majority of which is applied to debt
reduction, and 4) the company applies excess cash to the repayment
of debt or buyout of aircraft leases rather than share
repurchases.

A negative rating action could occur if: 1) AAG's EBITDA margin
approaches 17%; Moody's estimates that the EBTIDA margin could
reach this level if a gallon of jet fuel increased to about $3.00
per gallon all else equal; 2) there is a sustained decline in
demand that leads to declines in yields of more than 8% with no
corresponding offsets to costs, 3) aggregate liquidity (including
availability on revolving credit facilities) is less than $5.0
billion or unrestricted cash is less than $3.5 billion; 4) Debt to
EBITDA approaches 5.0 times, Funds from Operations + Interest to
Interest approaches 3.0 times and Retained Cash Flow to Net Debt
approaches 15%; and 5) there is a sustained increase in the cost of
jet fuel that is not offset by higher fares, or share repurchases
are funded with debt.

American Airlines Group Inc. is the holding company for American
Airlines, Inc. and US Airways, Inc.  Together with regional
partners, operating as American Eagle and US Airways Express, the
airlines operate an average of nearly 6,700 flights per day to

AMERICAN AIRLINES: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating on $750MM Loan B
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has assigned its
'BB+' issue-level rating and '1' recovery rating to American
Airlines Inc.'s $750 million seven-year term loan B due 2023.  The
'1' recovery rating on the loan indicates S&P's expectation of high
(90%-100%) recovery in a default scenario.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'BB+' issue-level ratings on
American Airlines' various other term loans and credit facilities,
including those originally arranged by US Airways Inc. (except for
the B-2 term loan, which will be repaid with the proceeds from the
new term loan B).  The '1' recovery ratings on this debt are
unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation of high (90%-100%) recovery
in a default scenario.

Additionally, S&P affirmed its 'B+' issue-level ratings on the
senior unsecured debt of American's parent, American Airlines Group
Inc.  S&P's '5' recovery ratings on the debt indicate its
expectation of modest (10%-30%; upper half of the range) recovery
in a default scenario.

"The new term loan B will be secured by aircraft spare parts that
support American Airlines' flee," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Philip Baggaley.  "This collateral is strategically
important to American in order to maintain its aircraft
operations." The spare parts consist of a wide variety of items,
some of which can be refurbished after use and others that are
expendable, that are held at various maintenance facilities
throughout American's route network.  S&P's recovery analysis
assumes some shrinkage of inventory, as spare parts are withdrawn
for use, which will be partly offset by new additions, though
American must maintain a collateral coverage maintenance test under
the term loan.  In addition, S&P stresses these values to simulate
the conditions that would likely accompany a second bankruptcy for
American.  In that scenario, S&P projects that lenders will receive
high recovery of their principal and prepetition interest.



AMERICAN HOSPICE: Section 341(a) Meeting Set on April 26
--------------------------------------------------------
Andrew R. Vara, Acting U.S. Trustee, announced that the 11 U.S.C.
Section 341(a) meeting of creditors of American Hospice Management
Holdings, LLC, et. al., will be held on April 26, 2016, at 1:00
p.m.

AMERICAN TIRE: Moody's Lowers CFR to B3, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded American Tire Distributor,
Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2 and its Probability of
Default Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD.  Moody's also lowered ATDI's
senior secured term loan rating to B3 from B2 and its senior
subordinated notes rating to Caa2 from Caa1.  In a separate action,
Moody's withdrew ATDI's Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of
SGL-3.  The rating outlook is stable.

The downgrade of ATDI's CFR reflects weaker-than-expected sales and
profitability in 2015 and Moody's view that ATDI's financial risk
profile will remain elevated over the next 12-18 months. ATDI's
underperformance is being driven by negative comparable store sales
due to a decline in Tier 4 tire volumes -- primarily resulting from
tariffs applied to products imported from China, economic &
currency headwinds and unusually warm winter weather in Canada, as
well as higher than expected operating expenses largely from
upgrades to distribution center infrastructures and supply chain
investments.  Since its March 2015 dividend recapitalization,
ATDI's debt-to-EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) has increased by about one
turn to over 7.5 times (as of Jan. 2, 2016,), which is not
supportive of a B2 rating.

While industry fundamentals remain sound, Moody's is concerned
about ATDI's prospects for deleveraging in the near term given
expectations for low-single-digit revenue and earnings growth and
high capital requirements.  ATDI's projected free cash flow is
materially lower than previously anticipated and will delay the
company's progress in repaying debt.  As such, Moody's expects that
over the next 12-18 months ATDI's debt-to-EBITDA will remain above
7.0 times and EBITDA-Capex/Interest expense below 1.25 times.

Moody's took these rating actions on American Tire Distributors,
Inc.

   -- Corporate Family Rating, downgraded to B3 from B2
   -- Probability of Default Rating, downgraded to B3-PD from
      B2-PD
   -- $720 million senior secured term loan due 2021, downgraded
      to B3 (LGD3) from B2 (LGD3)
   -- $932.4 million senior subordinated notes due 2022,
      downgraded to Caa2 (LGD5) from Caa1 (LGD5)
   -- Stable outlook
   -- Speculate Grade Liquidity Rating SGL-3, withdrawn

                         RATING RATIONALE

ATDI's B3 CFR reflects the company's high debt leverage, aggressive
financial policy and weak cash flow generation following its
dividend recapitalization in early 2015.  Moody's estimates total
debt-to-EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) was at approximately 7.6 times as
of Jan. 2, 2016.  The rating is also constrained by ATDI's
acquisitive growth strategy, whereby the company has made extensive
use of its revolver to finance acquisitions and capital
expenditures for distribution center openings.  As a wholesale
distributor, the company has characteristically low margins and
high fixed costs, which heighten its sensitivity to fluctuations in
unit sales volumes.

Nevertheless, the rating is supported by the long-term stability of
replacement tire demand, as well as ATDI's good market position,
diverse customer base, adequate liquidity and track record of
deleveraging after acquisitions.  Moody's expects ATDI to generate
revenue and earnings growth in low-single-digit-range over the next
12-18 months primarily owing to volume recovery in its Tier 4
assortment and efficiency benefits from Regional Distribution
Center in the back half of 2016.  The company should also continue
to see benefit from favorable industry conditions in the near term,
such as growth in the US vehicle population and miles driven, lower
gasoline prices, and modest macroeconomic improvement in the US and
Canada.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation for
low-single-digit revenue and earnings growth and gradual
deleveraging in the near term.  Moody's also anticipates the
company will maintain at least an adequate liquidity profile over
the next 12 months.

The ratings could be downgraded if ATDI experiences a significant
deterioration in unit volume, operating margins, or if the company
loses a major supplier relationship.  Negative free cash flow
generation and reduced availability under the revolver could also
result in a negative rating action.

Given ATDI's high financial leverage and weak cash flow generation,
a ratings upgrade is not expected in the intermediate term.
Profitable revenue growth that leads to a material reduction in
leverage and a good liquidity profile will be necessary for an
upgrade.  Quantitatively, the rating could improve if ATDI sustains
debt-to-EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) below 6.0 times and
EBITDA-Capex/Interest expense (Moody's adjusted) above 1.5 times.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Distribution &

ARCH COAL: Financial Projections Through 2018 Filed
---------------------------------------------------
Arch Coal, Inc. and certain of Arch's wholly owned domestic
subsidiaries entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement with
the term lenders under the Company's pre-petition credit agreement,
dated as of January 10, 2016 (as amended on February 25, 2016 and
March 28, 2016).

Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, Arch provided
certain non-public information to certain of the Consenting

ASSOCIATED WHOLESALERS: Seeks Aug. 1 Extension of Removal Period
----------------------------------------------------------------
ADI Liquidation, Inc. (Vida AWI Delaware, Inc.) et al., ask the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court to further extend the deadline for removing
Actions by an additional 120 days, to and including August 1,
2016.

The Debtors have already seek for extension extending the Removal
Period on several occasion, and the Debtors current removal period
expires on April 1, 2016 to file notices of removal with respect to
the Actions -- certain judicial proceedings where the Debtors are
parties to various claims on behalf of or against the Debtors are.

According to the Debtors, an extension of the deadline to remove
Actions to this Court will further permit the Debtors' management
and professionals to continue to focus on the administration of
these Chapter 11 Cases and the negotiation of a consensual chapter
11 plan, while at the same time allowing the Debtors sufficient
opportunity to evaluate the Actions to determine whether removal is
appropriate.

better offers.  The Debtors were granted joint administration of
their Chapter 11 cases for procedural purposes, under the lead case
of AWI Delaware, Inc., Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 14-12092.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors owed the Bank Group

Bankruptcy Court on Nov. 12, 2014, that closing occurred in

Unsecured Claims against AWI are estimated to total $30,506,586.


AUSTIN HOUSE: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee
------------------------------------------------------
The Office of the U.S. Trustee disclosed in a court filing that no
official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the
Chapter 11 case of The Austin House Property, LLC.

The Austin House Property, LLC sought protection under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 16-01443) on
February 24, 2016. The Debtor is represented by Buddy D. Ford,
Esq., at Buddy D. Ford, PA.


AXIOS MOBILE: Delays Financial Filings, Applies for MCTO
--------------------------------------------------------
Axios Mobile Assets Corp. (AXA) is providing this bi-weekly default
status report in accordance with National Policy 12-203 respecting
Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP
12-203").  On April 5, 2016, the Company announced (the "Default
Announcement") that it has identified certain errors in the
financial statements previously filed for the periods ended March
31, 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 as well as the
disclosure contained in its associated management's discussion and
analysis for such periods and that, as a result, it would be
restating such filings together with the accompanying CEO and CFO
certifications (collectively, the "Required Filings").

As a result of this delay in the filing of the Required Filings,
the Company has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission (the
"OSC") for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO").  The MCTO,
if and when granted, will prohibit all trading in securities of the
Company, whether directly or indirectly, by certain of the
Company's senior officers.  The MCTO will not affect the ability of
other shareholders to trade their securities.  However, the
applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities could
determine, in their discretion, that it would be appropriate to
issue a general cease trade order against the Company affecting all
of the securities of the Company.

The Company's Board of Directors and management confirm that they
are working expeditiously to file the Required Filings no later
than April 30, 2016.

Pursuant to the provisions of the alternative information
guidelines specified in Section 4.4 of NP 12-203, the Company
reports that since the Company's press release dated April 5,
2016:

--  The Company is continuing to work expeditiously in order to
complete the restatement of the
     financial statements and management's discussion and analysis
for the applicable periods.  This
     work involves correcting the errors identified in the
Company's press release dated April 5, 2016
     as well as any others that may be identified during the
Company's concurrent work to finalize its
     year-end financial statements;
--  The Company has determined that it is likely that the year-end
audit of the equity transactions
     that occurred throughout 2015 to assess the valuation and
accounting treatment of equity
     instruments included in those transactions will result in a
change to the previously reported net
     loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2015;
--  There have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its
stated intentions with respect to
     satisfying the provisions of the alternative reporting
guidelines;
--  There has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any
specified default subsequent to the
     default which is the subject of the Default Announcement; and
--  There is no other material information respecting the
Company's affairs that has not been
     generally disclosed.

Until the Required Filings have been filed, the Company intends to
continue to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information
guidelines specified in Section 4.4 of NP 12-203 by issuing
bi-weekly default status reports in the form of further press
releases, which will also be filed on SEDAR.  The Company will
file, to the extent applicable, its next default status report on
or about May 2, 2016.

Should the Company fail to file the Required Filings by the
deadline which may be set by the OSC or fail to provide bi-weekly
status reports in accordance with NP 12-203, the OSC can impose a
cease trade order on Axios, such that all trading in securities of
the Company cease for such period as the OSC may deem appropriate.

BLU COMPANIES: Selling Bluon Stake for $3M of Strathspey Stock
--------------------------------------------------------------
Blu Companies Incorporated on April 18, 2016, filed a motion asking
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California to
sell the estate's interest in 430,200 units that it owns in Bluon
Energy LLC.  The Debtor wishes to sell the estate's interest in
Bluon Energy to Strathspey Crown Holdings, LLC.  Rather than pay
cash, Strathspey has offered to pay as consideration 322.65 units
of its own shares, which has a cash value in excess of $3 million.

The Debtor says that the sale is in the best interest of the estate
because Bluon Energy faces significant and long-term obstacles
before it can start generating a revenue stream that can be
utilized to fund a plan of reorganization.  Strathspey on the other
hand has significant profitable holdings, and is in a position that
cash distributions are anticipated to begin within 18 to 24 months
and these can be used to fund a plan.

The Debtor seeks to transfer the interests free and clear of the
asserted liens of Debra Fletter, Harry Duncan, Pihlip Duncan and
Harry Duncan, as trustee of the Louis M. and Jacqueline G. Duncan
Trust pursuant to Sec. 363(f)(4) on the grounds that the liens are
disputed.  According to the Debtor, the liens are disputed because
they are avoidable under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 544(a)(1) and (2).

According to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Debtor and
Strathspey agreed to a May 31, 2016 deadline to close the sale.

No. 15-25213) on June 29, 2015, in Sacramento, California.  The

The Debtor tapped Eason & Tambornini as counsel.

The Debtor disclosed $5.4 million in assets and $7.3 million in

CALUMET SPECIALTY: S&P Lowers CCR to 'B-', Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Calumet Specialty Products Partners L.P. to 'B-' from
'B'.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B+' issue rating to the senior
secured notes.  S&P is assigning a '1' recovery to the notes,
indicating expectations for very high (90% to 100%) recovery in the
event of a payment default.

In addition, S&P lowered the rating on the senior unsecured notes
to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  S&P revised the recovery rating on this debt
to '5' from '4'.  The '5' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation for modest (10% to 30%; upper half of the range)
recovery in the event of default.

"The downgrade follows the partnership's debt offering which in our
view will cause leverage to be higher than we previously expected,
above 5.5x through 2016," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Mike Llanos.  This additional debt and S&P's expectation that
refining margins will remain weak more than offset the benefits of
the partnership's announcement that it will suspend its first
quarter distribution.  Future distribution payments will depend
upon the partnership achieving a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio, which S&P believes the partnership will be unlikely to meet,
for most of 2016.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view the partnership will
maintain adequate liquidity despite weak refining margins and
challenges accessing the equity markets over the next 12 to 24
months.  S&P forecasts adjusted debt to EBITDA above 5.5x in 2016
absent an improvement in refining margins.

S&P could lower the rating if Calumet's liquidity profile weakens
or if S&P believes the capital structure to be unsustainable in the
long term.

S&P could raise the rating if the partnership is able to sustain a
strong distribution coverage ratio consistently above 1x while
maintaining financial leverage in the low-5x area.


CAPITOL LAKES: U.S. Trustee Objects to Prime Clerk Employment
-------------------------------------------------------------
Patrick S. Layng, U.S. Trustee for Region 11, filed a limited
objection to Capitol Lakes, Inc.'s application to employ Prime
Clerk, LLC, as its claims, noticing and balloting agent.

Acording to the U.S. Trustee, it does not apear that the case
merits supplanting the role of the Clerk's office in maintaining
the official claims register and passing that unnecessary expense
on the estate.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 18, 2016,
Prime Clerk will, among other things:

   (a) assist the Debtor with the preparation and distribution of
       all required notices in its chapter 11 case, including: (i)
       notice of any claims bar date, (ii) notices of objections
       to claims and objections to transfers of claims, (iii)
       notices of any hearings on a disclosure statement and
       confirmation of any plan or plans of reorganization,
       including under Bankruptcy Rule 3017(d), (iv) notice of the
       effective date of any plan, and (v) all other notices,
       orders, pleadings, publications and other documents as the
       Debtor, Court, or Clerk may deem necessary or appropriate
       for an orderly administration of this chapter 11 case;

   (b) assist the Debtor with plan-solicitation services
       including: (i) balloting, (ii) distribution of applicable
       solicitation materials, (iii) tabulation and calculation of
       votes, (iv) determining with respect to each ballot cast,
       its timeliness and its compliance with the Bankruptcy Code,
       Bankruptcy Rules and procedures ordered by this Court; and
       (v) generating an official ballot certification and
       testifying, if necessary, in support of the ballot
       tabulation results; and

   (c) maintain (i) a list of all potential creditors, and other
       parties-in-interest and (ii) a "core" mailing list
       consisting of all parties described in Bankruptcy Rule
       2002(i), (j) and (k) and those parties that have filed a
       notice of appearance pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9010;
       update and make said lists available upon request by a
       party-in-interest or the Clerk.

Prime Clerk will be paid at these hourly rates:

       Analyst                      $30 -  $45
       Technology Consultant        $75 -  $95
       Consultant                   $90 - $130
       Senior Consultant           $135 - $165
       Director                    $170 - $190
       Solicitation Consultant        $190
       Solicitation Director          $210

Prime Clerk will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor provided Prime Clerk a
retainer in the amount of $10,000.

Michael J. Frishberg, co-president and chief operating officer of
Prime Clerk, assured the Court that the firm is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy
Code and does not represent any interest adverse to the Debtors and
their estates.

The Trustee is represented by Debra L. Schneider.

CARROLS RESTAURANT: Moody's Affirms B3 CFR, Outlook Positive
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings outlook for Carrols
Restaurant Group, Inc. to positive from stable.  In addition,
Moody's affirmed Carrol's B3 Corporate Family Rating, B3-PD
Probability of Default Rating and the B3 rating for its $200
million second lien senior secured notes.  Carrol's SGL-3
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating was affirmed.

The change in outlook to positive from stable reflects Carrol's
material improvement in operating performance over the past three
quarters, as a steady pipeline of well accepted new product
offerings and remodeled restaurants have driven positive same store
sales, traffic and average check.  These positive trends along with
a material decline in commodities prices -- particularly beef --
generated improved earnings and credit metrics with leverage on a
debt to EBITDA basis of about 4.7 times and EBIT to interest
coverage of approximately 1.3 times for the LTM period ending Dec.
31, 2015.

Ratings affirmed:

   -- Corporate Family Rating (CFR) at B3
   -- Probability of Default Rating (PDR) at B3-PD
   -- $200 million second lien notes at B3 (LGD4)
   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating rated SGL-3

The rating outlook is positive

                         RATINGS RATIONALE

Carrols' B3 CFR reflects the company's modest interest coverage and
consistent negative free cash flow as well as its single brand
focus, modest scale, geographic concentration and integration risks
of an acquisition driven growth strategy.  The ratings are
supported by Carrols' position as the largest franchisee in the
Burger King system in terms of units, the significant ownership
(approximately 21%) and Board representation by Burger King
Corporation ("BKC"), the brand's strong position among its peers,
and well balanced day-part division.

The positive ratings outlook reflects Moody's view that both BKC's
strategic initiatives and Carrols' experience in operating and
integrating Burger King restaurants should result in a steady
improvement in earnings and credit metrics over the next 12-18
months.  The outlook also reflects Moody's view that revenue and
earnings from recent acquisitions and sales lift from ongoing unit
remodeling should provide additional improvement to earnings and
liquidity over time.

Factors that could result in an upgrade include sustained
improvement in credit metrics and free cash flow driven in part by
sustainable positive same store sales trends - particularly
traffic, and improved unit-level economics at acquired units.  A
higher rating would require debt to EBITDA of below 5.0x and EBIT
coverage of gross interest migrating towards 1.75 times on a
sustained basis.  A higher rating would also require generating
positive free cash flow on a consistent basis while maintaining at
least adequate liquidity.

Factors that could result in a downgrade include any deterioration
in operating performance, particularly a sustained deterioration in
traffic or integration issues with acquired restaurants.
Specifically, a downgrade could occur if EBIT coverage of cash
interest expense fell below 1.0x or debt/EBITDA increased above
6.0x on a sustained basis.  In addition, any deterioration in
liquidity for any reason could lead to a downgrade.

Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc., through its indirect operating
subsidiary, Carrols LLC, owns and operates 705 Burger King
restaurants through franchise agreements in 16 Northeastern,
Midwestern and Southeastern states.  Revenue for the year ended
Dec. 28, 2015, was $860 million.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Restaurant
Industry published in September 2015.



CASINO REINVESTMENT: Moody's Cuts Rating on $61.7MM Bonds to Ba2
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Ba2 from Baa3 the
rating on the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority's (NJ) (or
CRDA) $61.7 million outstanding Hotel Room Fee Revenue Bonds,
Series 2004.  The outlook remains negative.  The bonds are secured
by a senior lien on a $3 per diem fee imposed on each occupied
hotel room in Atlantic City (Caa3 negative) casinos, whether paid
or complimentary.

The downgrade to Ba2 reflects the security's very narrow pledge
confined to the economically challenged Atlantic City, declining
revenue trend and our projections for weak debt service coverage
should one or more casinos close.  The downgrade also considers the
limited security provided by a surety from Ambac Assurance
Corporation for the debt service reserve fund, which would be
needed under stressed projections.

Rating Outlook

The negative outlook considers the possibility of increased
regional competition from casinos in North Jersey that could cause
multiple additional casino closures in Atlantic City.  It also
considers the potential for revenue declines beyond current
projections as tourists may be deterred by a lack of city public
safety and other city services caused by Atlantic City's fiscal
crisis.

Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade

  Increase in hotel fee revenues, net of complimentary room
   incentives
  Improved debt service coverage

Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade

  Decline in debt service coverage below 1.3 times debt service
  Decline in hotel room fee revenues without additional casino
   closures
  More than one additional casino closure

Legal Security

The bonds are secured by a senior lien on a $3 per diem fee imposed
on each occupied hotel room in Atlantic City casinos, whether paid
or complimentary.

Use of Proceeds
Not Applicable

Obligor Profile
The Casino Reinvestment Development Authority is a component unit
of the State of New Jersey established in 1984 to collect and
distribute certain taxes and fees paid by the then 12 Atlantic City
Casinos for development projects in Atlantic City and Northern New
Jersey.  Atlantic City is heavily concentrated in the casino gaming
industry.  Gaming revenues in Atlantic City have declined by 54%
between 2006 and 2015.  Four of the city's 12 casinos closed in
2014.

Methodology
The principal methodology used in this rating was US Public Finance
Special Tax Methodology published in January 2014.



CATALENT PHARMA: S&P Assigns 'BB-' CCR, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned a 'BB-' corporate
credit rating to Somerset, N.J.-based Catalent Inc.  The outlook is
stable.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'BB-' corporate credit rating on
Catalent Pharma Solutions Inc. and subsequently withdrew this
rating.  Catalent Inc. is the parent entity of Catalent Pharma
Solutions Inc.

In addition, S&P affirmed its 'BB' rating on Catalent Pharma
Solutions Inc.'s senior secured credit facility, which consists of
a $200 million revolver, a EUR322.25 million term loan B, and a
$1.5 billion term loan B.  The recovery rating on this debt remains
'2', indicating expectations for substantial (70%-90%, lower half
of range) recovery in the event of a payment default.

"Our ratings on Catalent continue to reflect the company's capital
intensity and its narrow focus as a provider of services to the
pharmaceutical industry," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Matthew Todd.  The company maintains an industry-leading position
in the heavily regulated outsourced pharmaceutical manufacturing
space, a diverse service offering, a well-diversified customer
base, and long-term contractual agreements that support business
stability.

S&P's ratings also reflect its expectation that Catalent will
sustain leverage below 5x.  Although leverage could continue to
decrease through cash accumulation and slight EBITDA growth over
time, S&P believes that Catalent's growth plan will include
additional acquisitions that will keep the company's leverage in
the 4x-5x range.  For this reason, S&P expects that any
deleveraging would be temporary in nature.

S&P's 'BB-' rating also considers the impact of recent regulatory
issues at two of the company's plants.  The Beinheim softgel
factory, one of 11 global softgel plants, suspended operations in
November 2015 and is currently operating with limited production,
though S&P expects regulators to approve the factory for full
production in the near term.  S&P expects the suspension to lower
revenue by roughly $45 million to $60 million for the fiscal 2016
year.  The company also received a U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) Form 483 letter related to the St. Petersburg,
Fla., softgel plant, but S&P do not expect this to materially
affect financial results because the company is experienced in
responding to and working with the regulatory authorities in the
normal course of business.

S&P's stable outlook on Catalent reflects S&P's expectation that
modest EBITDA growth will allow the company to sustain leverage in
the low-4x area and FFO to debt in at least the midteens.  It also
incorporates S&P's belief that financial policies are likely to
remain consistent with leverage below 5x, including the possibility
of a sizable acquisition.  S&P expects the company to maintain its
market share in oral technologies and avoid further regulatory
production suspensions, affirming its strong reputation.

S&P could lower the rating if it expects the company to operate
with leverage meaningfully above 5x for an extended period of time.
This could happen if the company undertakes acquisitions
significantly beyond the level that it can finance through cash
flow.  At the current rating, S&P estimates the company has
capacity for an $800 million acquisition with a 10x valuation.
Alternatively, the company's leverage could rise if its reputation
deteriorates and customers cancel contracts.  S&P believes revenue
would need to decline by more than 8% and margins deteriorate by
more than 200 basis points from S&P's base case to prompt a
downgrade.

S&P could raise the rating if it expects Catalent to maintain
leverage in the low-4x area.  Under this scenario, S&P would need
to be confident that the risk of taking on more debt is low, and
that the company is committed to maintaining these lower leverage
levels despite its nonorganic growth plans.  In addition, the
company must demonstrate its commitment to control and compliance
by avoiding further operational set-backs.


CCO HOLDINGS: Fitch Rates New 2026 Sr. Unsecured Notes 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch rates CCO Holdings, LLC's (CCOH) senior unsecured notes on
Positive Watch due 2026 'BB-'. CCOH is offering up to $300 million
of additional notes under the same terms as the $1.2 billion 5.5%
senior unsecured notes issuance previously announced on April 7,
2016 and due in 2026. The ratings have been placed on Positive
Watch.

Aggregate net offering proceeds are expected to be used to
repurchase or redeem a portion of CCOH's outstanding $600 million
of 7% senior notes due 2019 (7% senior notes) and $750 million of
7.375% senior notes due 2020 (7.375% senior notes) and pay related
fees and expenses. CCOH intends to use the remaining portion of net
proceeds from its $1.7 billion of 5.875% senior unsecured bond
issuance in February 2016, which is currently being held as cash
and cash equivalents, to repurchase or redeem a portion of CCOH's
outstanding 7% senior notes, 7.375% senior notes and outstanding
$1.5 billion of 6.5% senior notes due 2021 (6.5% senior notes) and
pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.
Additional uses could include funding a portion of potential
incremental cash needs related to Charter Communications, Inc.'s
(Charter) previously announced merger transaction with Time Warner
Cable, Inc. (TWC), whereby should TWC shareholders elect to receive
$115 per share in cash rather than $100 per share. Any redemption
or repurchase of the 6.5% notes would not take place until after
the cash elections and required funding amount was determined.

Charter initially used a portion of net proceeds from the February
2016 offering to pay down amounts outstanding under its revolver
($273 million as of Dec. 31, 2015).

On May 23, 2015, Charter announced a merger with TWC for total
consideration as of April 7, 2016 of $208.72 per share, providing a
total valuation for TWC of $80.9 billion. The offer consists of a
combination of cash and Charter stock totaling $60 billion for all
outstanding TWC shares. TWC shareholders have two options for the
split between cash and Charter common stock: 1) $100 cash and
0.5409 shares of Charter common stock for each share of TWC common
stock, or 2) $115 cash and 0.4562 shares of Charter common stock
for each share of TWC common stock. If shareholders choose the
latter option, Charter has the financial flexibility, which may
include a portion of the net proceeds from February's issuance, to
fund the increased cash needs. If Charter requires additional
liquidity to satisfy cash funding needs for TWC shareholders, CCOH
has committed financing in place for $5 billion of unsecured debt.

Fitch placed CCOH and Charter Communications Operating, LLC's (CCO)
'BB-' IDRs on Rating Watch Positive following the April 2015
announcement of the acquisition of Bright House Networks (Bright
House) from Advance/Newhouse Partnership (A/N). The Bright House
acquisition is valued at $11.4 billion as of April 7, 2016.
Following the announcement that Comcast Corporation and TWC had
terminated their merger agreement, on May 18, 2015 Charter and A/N
reaffirmed their commitment to complete the Bright House
acquisition under the same economic and governance terms. CCOH and
CCO are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Charter.

Fitch views both transactions positively and believes they will
strengthen Charter's overall credit profile. Fitch anticipates that
Charter's total leverage, pro forma for both the TWC merger as it
is currently structured and the Bright House acquisition, would be
under 5.0x at closing. Integration risks are elevated, and
Charter's ability to manage the integration process and limit
disruption to the company's overall operations are key to the
success of the transactions.

On a pro forma basis the combined company will serve 25 million
customer relationships and become the second largest cable multiple
system operator in the country. Pro forma fiscal 2015 revenues and
EBITDA totalled approximately $37.4 billion and $13.2 billion,
respectively.

Charter's operating strategies are having a positive impact on the
company's operating profile resulting in a strengthened competitive
position. The market share-driven strategy, which is focused on
enhancing the overall competitiveness of Charter's video service
and leveraging its all-digital infrastructure, is improving
subscriber metrics, growing revenue and ARPU trends, and
stabilizing operating margins.

Resolution of the Rating Watch will largely be based on Fitch's
review of Charter's ultimate capital structure including assignment
of potential equity credit to the convertible preferred partnership
units and an assessment of the risks associated with Charter's
ability to integrate the new cable systems from TWC and Bright
House.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

All three entities regularly produce strong levels of free cash
flow (FCF) that provide the company with substantial financial
flexibility. Charter management stated that, in the short term,
they will use FCF to meet existing and planned amortization, which
along with EBITDA improvement is expected to lower leverage by 0.6x
annually. They also stated that there are no short-term plans for
shareholder-friendly activities.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Due to the uncertainty surrounding approval of the TWC and Bright
House transactions, Fitch's forecast reflects Charter on a
standalone basis.

Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for Charter
include:

-- Low-to-mid-single-digit cable revenue growth highlighted by
    continued high-speed data and commercial service revenue
    growth.

-- EBITDA margins remain flat reflecting ARPU growth from
    subscribers taking more advanced video services and higher
    speed data service tiers, offset by increased programming
    costs and spending to enhance customer service and products.

-- Fitch estimates Charter will generate $400 million of FCF in
    2016, slightly less than the anticipated $1 billion to $1.2
    billion of FCF during 2017 and 2018, respectively. FCF in 2016

    is negatively impacted by additional interest expense related
    to debt issued by CCOH Safari, LLC, CCO Safari II, LLC, and
    CCO Safari III, LLC (collectively the Safari Entities) to
    proactively fund the TWC and Bright House transactions.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Positive rating actions would be contemplated given the following:

-- The TWC merger and the Bright House acquisition go forward, as

    total leverage is expected to be below 5.0x;

-- If the company demonstrates progress in closing gaps relative
    to its industry peers on service penetration rates and
    strategic bandwidth initiatives;

-- Operating profile strengthens as the company captures
    sustainable revenue and cash flow growth envisioned when
    implementing the current operating strategy.

Fitch believes negative rating actions would likely coincide with
the following:

-- A leveraging transaction or the adoption of a more aggressive
    financial strategy that increases leverage beyond 5.5x in the
    absence of a credible deleveraging plan;

-- Adoption of a more aggressive financial strategy;

-- A perceived weakening of Charter's competitive position or
    failure of the current operating strategy to produce
    sustainable revenue and cash flow growth along with
    strengthening operating margins.

LIQUIDITY

Fitch regards Charter's liquidity position and overall financial
flexibility as satisfactory given the rating category. Charter's
financial flexibility will improve in step with the growth of FCF
generation. Charter generated $519 million of FCF during the year
ended Dec. 31, 2015. Although FCF had been increasing due primarily
to a decrease in capital expenditures driven by the completion of
Charter's transition to all-digital in 2014, 2015 was negatively
impacted by interest expense associated with Safari Entities debt.
The company's liquidity position includes cash of $5 million,
excluding cash held in escrow at Safari Entities, and is supported
by $961 million of borrowing capacity from its $1.3 billion
revolver and anticipated FCF generation. Commitments under the
company's revolver will expire in April 2018. Fitch notes that the
revolver will increase to $3 billion as part of the TWC and Bright
House transactions.

Charter's leverage as of the last 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2015 was
4.1x, excluding the debt issued by Safari Entities. Charter's total
leverage target remains unchanged, ranging between 4x and 4.5x, and
will remain unchanged following the completion of the transactions.
Fitch recognizes that a large portion of the TWC transaction will
involve senior secured debt, both at TWC and the Safari Entities,
including approximately $22.5 billion of existing TWC senior
secured debt. All existing TWC and Safari Entities first-lien debt
will be rolled into CCO and will have equal and ratable security
with all existing Charter first lien debt.

Charter recently stated it expects first lien leverage of 3.5x
following the completion of the transactions. Depending on the
ultimate capital structure, a one- or two-notch upgrade of
Charter's IDR and existing ratings could be possible provided that
pro forma senior secured leverage is at or below 4x and total
leverage does not exceed 5x.

Charter proactively extended its maturity profile and only 5% of
outstanding debt matures before 2019, including $93 million and
$102 million during 2016 and 2017, respectively. Fitch believes
that Charter has the financial flexibility to retire near term
maturities with cash on hand and future FCF.


CEB INC: Moody's Affirms Ba2 CFR & Rates Proposed Facilities Ba1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed CEB Inc.'s Ba2 Corporate Family
Rating and assigned Ba1 ratings to the company's proposed senior
secured revolving and term loan facilities.  These facilities are
being upsized in connection with CEB's planned acquisition of
Evanta Ventures, Inc. and an affiliated business, for total cash
consideration of $275 million.  Moody's also downgraded the ratings
for CEB's senior unsecured notes to B1, from Ba3, and changed CEB's
ratings outlook to negative from stable.

                        RATINGS RATIONALE

Pro forma for the acquisition of Evanta, CEB's total debt to EBITDA
will increase by about 1x to 4.6x (Moody's adjusted).  The negative
outlook reflects CEB's elevated leverage coupled with the
deceleration in organic revenue growth (on a constant currency
basis) to the flat-to-low single digit rates in 2016 and
weaker-than-expected cash flow generation as a result of its sales
execution challenges.  In addition, elevated spending on share
repurchases in recent quarters has reduced CEB's financial
flexibility.

The affirmation of the Ba2 CFR reflects Moody's expectations that
bookings growth should begin to accelerate toward year-end 2016 and
that management will prioritize repayment of debt in the
intermediate term.  Moody's expects CEB's total debt to EBITDA to
decline to below 4x over the next 12 to 18 months.  Although
revenue growth over the next 12 months will be meaningfully lower
than the company's long term target of 8% to 13%, the Ba2 CFR
reflects Moody's expectations that CEB should generate free cash
flow of approximately 7% to 8% of total debt over this period.  The
rating is additionally supported by CEB's high proportion of
recurring, subscription-based revenues, very good liquidity, and
good free cash flow relative to debt.  The rating is constrained by
CEB's moderate operating scale and cyclical nature of its sales
that are correlated to discretionary spending by its existing and
potential customers.

The downgrade of the senior unsecured notes to B1 reflects higher
expected loss rates for the senior notes due a significant increase
in senior secured debt.

Moody's could downgrade CEB's ratings if organic bookings growth
remains weak, or aggressive shareholder returns or increases in
debt cause total debt to EBITDA to remain over 4x or free cash flow
falls below 5% of total debt (both metrics on a Moody's adjusted
basis).

Although not anticipated in the intermediate term, Moody's could
upgrade CEB's ratings if revenues and earnings experience strong
growth and Moody's believes that management will pursue
conservative financial policies such total debt to EBITDA will
remain near 2.5x through corporate discretionary spending cycles.

Moody's has taken these rating actions:

Issuer: CEB, Inc.

  Corporate Family Rating -- Ba2, Affirmed
  Probability of Default Rating --Ba2-PD, Affirmed
  $350 million Revolving Credit Facility -- Assigned, Ba1 (LGD 3)
  $400 million Term Loan -- Assigned, Ba1 (LGD 3)
  $250 million Senior Unsecured Notes -- Downgraded to B1 (LGD 5),

   from Ba3 (LGD 5)
  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating -- Affirmed, SGL-1

Outlook: Changed to Negative, from Stable

These ratings will be withdrawn:

  Existing $250 million first lien revolver due 2020, Ba1 (LGD 2)
  Existing $250 million first lien Term Loan due 2020, Ba1 (LGD 2)

Based in Arlington, Virginia, CEB Inc. is a global provider of
member-based advisory services.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in December 2014.

D.A.B. GROUP: Court Approves Maltz Auctions as Trustee's Broker
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ronald J. Friedman, the Chapter 11 Trustee of D.A.B. Group LLC,
sought and obtained permission from the Hon. Shelley C. Chapman of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to
employ Maltz Auctions, Inc. dba Maltz Auctions as broker to sell
the Debtor's real property and development rights, effective March
5, 2016.

The Trustee requires Maltz Auctions to market and sell through a
public auction sale, the Debtor's real property located at 139-141
Orchard Street, New York, New York, and certain development rights
controlled exclusively by the Debtor, to the bidders tendering the
highest or best offer at a public auction sale free and clear of
all liens, claims, and encumbrances, with such Liens attaching to
the proceeds of the Sale.

The Court also established procedures to confirm the highest or
best offer received for the Premises, and approved the form, time
and scope of notice of the Sale.

The Trustee and Maltz have agreed that Maltz will accept
compensation related to its services rendered to the Trustee
relating to the Debtor's estate in accordance with the following
sliding scale Buyer's Premium formula. Furthermore, Maltz agrees to
accept reimbursement of expenses up to a cap of $40,000.

The compensation will be paid as a Buyer's Premium on the gross
sales price for the sale of the Property and subject to order of
the Bankruptcy Court entered following notice to the D.A.B Secured
Creditor and following the filing of the Report of Sale. Pursuant
to the Sale Order, a Buyer's Premium of a maximum of 2.5% shall be
paid to the estate by the successful purchaser. Any difference
between the Buyer's Premium and the amount of the fee paid to Maltz
and, if applicable any cobroker, shall be retained by the estate.

Commissions owing to Maltz shall be paid from the Buyer's Premium.
Maltz's fees are on a sliding scale depending on the sales price;
provided that Maltz's compensation is capped at the amount of the
buyer's premium (or 2.5% of the sales price). Any co-brokerage fees
shall be paid from Maltz's commission; provided that co-brokerage
fees are capped at 0.5%. To the extent that no-co-broker is used,
Maltz shall credit the co-broker fee back to the estate.

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

DEX MEDIA: Reportedly Preparing to File for Bankruptcy
------------------------------------------------------
Matt Jarzemsky, writing for Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review,
reported that one Dex Media, Inc., one of the country's largest
phone book publishers is planning to file for bankruptcy protection
in May for the third time in seven years after efforts to
reposition the company to thrive in the digital age fell short.

According to the report, citing people familiar with the matter,
Dex Media has reached a deal with key creditors to reduce its debt
by more than $1 billion in a chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring
set to begin next month.  Lenders including Mudrick Capital
Management LP and Paulson & Co . would end up with most of the
reorganized company's equity, the people said, the report related.

Dex, which published more than 1,700 yellow pages and white pages
directories in 2014, plans to ask its board to approve the
restructuring within a week or so, and then ask creditors to vote
on the restructuring with plans to file so-called prepackaged
chapter 11, the people said, the report further related.  The DBR
report, citing a regulatory filing, said the Dallas-based company
owes creditors a total of $2.3 billion.

A consumer migration to the Internet from traditional print
publishers has hurt directory companies such as Dex, which have
failed to replace much of the advertising revenue lost to search
engines such as Google, the report noted.

                      *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Dec. 18, 2015, reported that
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Dex Media, Inc.'s Probability
of Default Rating to Ca-PD/LD from Caa3-PD and downgraded the
Corporate Family Rating to Ca from Caa3. The limited default "LD"
designation appended to Dex's probability of default rating
reflects Moody's view that the company has defaulted under Moody's
definition. The limited default designation will remain for three
business days to reflect our view that a default has occurred.
Concurrently, the senior subordinated notes are lowered to C from
Ca and the senior secured credit facilities of Dex Media East,
Inc., Dex Media West, Inc., R.H. Donnelley Inc. and SuperMedia Inc.
remain unchanged at Caa3. The downgrade reflects Dex's missed
September 30, 2015 interest payment on its senior subordinated
notes and the subsequent failure to make the payment during the
grace period. Moody's views this as a limited default as it
represents a default of only one element of the company's capital
structure. The ratings outlook remains negative.


EAST DUBUQUE: Moody's to Withdraw Ratings on Completed Merger
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's says that following the completion of the merger of East

EMERALD OIL: Court OKs Joint Administration of Chapter 11 Cases
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware directed the
joint administration of the Chapter 11 cases of Emerald Oil, Inc.,
et al., for procedural purposes only under Chapter 11 case no.
16-10704.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 28, 2016, in
their motion filed with the Court, the Debtors said given the
integrated nature of their operations, joint administration will
provide significant administrative convenience without harming the
substantive rights of any party-in-interest.  Specifically, the
Debtors maintained, joint administration will reduce fees and costs
by avoiding duplicative filings and objections and allow the Office
of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware and all
parties-in interest to monitor these Chapter 11 cases with greater
ease and efficiency.

The Debtors requested that one file and one docket be maintained
for all of the jointly administered cases under the case of Emerald
Oil, Inc., Case No. 16-10704.

                         About Emerald Oil

Emerald is a Denver-based independent exploration and production
company that is focused on acquiring acreage and developing wells

LLC and EOX Marketing, LLC filed separate Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 16-10704 to 16-10708) on March
22, 2016.  Ryan Smith signed the petitions as chief financial
officer.

The Debtors have hired Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Kirkland & Ellis
International LLP as general bankruptcy counsel, Pachulski Stang
Ziehl & Jones LLP as local counsel, Intrepid Financial Partners,
LLC as investment banker, Opportune LLP as restructuring advisor
and Donlin Recano & Company, Inc., as claims and noticing agent.

ENERGY XXI: Deal With Lenders Require Ch. 11 Exit by Sept. 2
------------------------------------------------------------
Energy XXI Ltd, et al., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Texas a motion to assume the Restructuring
Support Agreement ("RSA"), dated as of April 11, 2016, by and among
each of the Debtors, and an ad hoc committee of Second Lien
Noteholders.

After extensive, arm's-length negotiations, the Company and the Ad
Hoc Committee were able to agree on the terms of a comprehensive
restructuring transaction.  The key terms of this transaction are
embodied in the RSA.

Within the Debtors' complex capital structure, the $1.45 billion in
secured Second Lien Notes issued by EGC represent the Debtors'
single largest funded debtholder constituency.  For this reason, as
well as the Debtors' inability to force their Second Lien
Noteholders to convert their secured debt into equity absent their
consent under applicable law, the Debtors have limited prospects to
consummate any reorganization absent the support of their Second
Lien Noteholders.

Accordingly, the Debtors proactively engaged an ad hoc group of
second lien noteholders in extensive, arm's-length negotiations and
ultimately reached agreement on the terms of a standalone
restructuring transaction that would right-size their balance sheet
and best position their go-forward operations for long-term
success.  This agreement is memorialized through the RSA.

The RSA contemplates that certain restructuring transactions will
be implemented in accordance with a joint pre-arranged chapter 11
plan of reorganization ("Plan") on terms consistent with an
attached term sheet (the "Term Sheet"). The key elements of the
Term Sheet include:

   -- Reorganized EGC becomes the New Parent and issues New Equity.
After the Effective Date, EGC is referred to in the Term Sheet as
the "New Parent" or "Reorganized EGC."  On the date the Plan
becomes effective (the "Effective Date"), new common stock in EGC
will be issued and distributed (the "New Equity"), and the New
Parent will hold substantially all of the assets of Energy XXI and
its subsidiaries.

   -- Second Lien Noteholders receive the New Equity. The Second
Lien Noteholders will receive 100% of the New Equity, subject to
dilution in connection with the Warrant Package and Management
Incentive Plan.

   -- Unsecured noteholders share in a Warrant Package.  The
Warrant Package will consist of warrants equal to an aggregate of
up to 10% of the New Equity, with a maturity of 10 years and an
agreed-upon strike price.  The Warrant Package is divisible among
the classes of EGC Unsecured Notes Claims, EPL Unsecured Notes
Claims, and EXXI Convertible Notes Claims, as defined in the Term
Sheet.  If, however, any such class votes to reject the Plan, it
will not receive a distribution thereunder.

   -- CEO Schiller is retained. John D. Schiller, Jr. has agreed to
remain on the Board of Directors of New Parent and to serve as its
CEO.

   -- Energy XXI files a winding-up proceeding in Bermuda.  Energy
XXI will file a winding-up petition and commence an official
liquidation proceeding in Bermuda under Bermudian law.

   -- Restructuring takes place on an agreed schedule.  The
restructuring transactions will be conducted under a timeline set
forth in the RSA, which requires the Debtors to file the Plan by
May 16, 2016 and the Effective Date to occur no later than
Sept. 2, 2016.

   -- Releases.  The Plan will include mutual releases and
exculpation provisions in favor of (a) the Debtors and their
related persons, professionals, and entities, and (b) the
Restructuring Support Parties and their related persons,
professionals, and entities.

The Debtors also have agreed to use their best efforts to either
(a) cause the drawn amount under the First Lien Credit Agreement to
remain outstanding at emergence from the chapter 11 cases, or (b)
refinance such amount on terms acceptable to the Majority
Restructuring Support Parties, with $228 million in letters of
credit remaining outstanding and other terms acceptable to the
Debtors and the Majority Restructuring Support Parties.30

The Restructuring Support Agreement establishes certain deadlines
(the "Milestones") intended to facilitate the expeditious
resolution of the chapter 11 cases, for the benefit of the Debtors'
estates and creditors.  The Milestones provide that the Debtors
will implement the Restructuring Transactions on this timeline:

   * No later than April 14, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), the
Debtors will commence the Chapter 11 Cases by filing bankruptcy
petitions with the Bankruptcy Court (such filing date, the
"Petition Date");

   * No later than April 14, 2016, EXXI will file a winding up
petition with the Bermuda Court commencing the Bermuda Proceeding;

   * On the Petition Date, the Debtors will file with the
Bankruptcy Court (i) a motion seeking entry of the Interim Cash
Collateral Order and the Final Cash Collateral Order; and (ii) a
motion seeking to assume this Agreement (the "RSA Assumption
Motion");

   * No later than April 18, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court will have
entered the Interim Cash Collateral Order;

   * No later than May 16, 2016, the Debtors will file with the
Bankruptcy Court: (i) the Plan; (ii) the Disclosure Statement; and
(iii) a motion seeking, among other things, (A) approval of the
Disclosure Statement, (B) approval of procedures for soliciting,
receiving, and tabulating votes on the Plan and for filing
objections to the Plan, and (C) to schedule the hearing to consider
confirmation of the Plan;

   * No later than May 25, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court will have
entered the Final Cash Collateral Order;

   * No later than July 1, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court will have
entered an order authorizing the assumption of the Restructuring
Support Agreement (the "RSA Assumption Order");

   * No later than July 1, 2016, (i) the Bankruptcy Court will have
entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement and the relief
requested in the Disclosure Statement and Solicitation Motion; and
(ii) no later than five business days after entry of the order
approving the Disclosure Statement and Solicitation Motion, the
Debtors will have commenced solicitation on the Plan by mailing the
Solicitation Materials to parties eligible to vote on the Plan;


   * No later than Aug. 8, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court will have
commenced the Confirmation Hearing;

   * No later than Aug. 19, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court will have
entered the Confirmation Order; and

   * No later than Sept. 2, 2016, the Debtors will consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Plan (the date of such
consummation, the "Effective Date"), it being understood that the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Effective Date (as
set forth in the Plan and the Term Sheet) will be conditions
precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Failure to meet a Milestone results in a termination right for the
Restructuring Support Parties, unless the default either (a) is
waived or extended by those Restructuring Support Parties who hold,
in the aggregate, at least 66.6% in principal amount of the
outstanding Second Lien Notes Claims held by the Restructuring
Support Parties (the "Majority Restructuring Support Parties") or
(b) is the direct result of a Restructuring Support Party's
action.

ENERGY XXI: Seeks Approval to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------
Energy XXI Ltd, et al., filed a motion asking the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Texas for approval to use cash
collateral of the prepetition secured parties and provide adequate
protection to:

   (1) Wells Fargo Bank, N. A., as successor administrative agent
to The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (the "First Lien Agent") under
the First Lien Credit Agreement, and the other first lien secured
parties; and

   (2) U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee and
Collateral Trustee (the "Second Lien Trustee") under the Second
Lien Indenture, and the other second lien secured parties;

The Court has entered an interim order authorizing the Debtors to
use cash collateral.  A final hearing on the Motion is scheduled
for May 5, 2016, at 2:30 p.m.  Objections are due May 3.  A copy of
the Interim Cash Collateral Order is available at:

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Energy_XXI_66_Int_Cash_Ord.pdf

Harry A. Perrin, Esq., at Vinson & Elkins LLP, avers that the
Debtors use cash on hand and cash flow from operations to procure
goods and services from vendors, pay their employees, and satisfy
other working capital needs.  The inability to use these funds
during the chapter 11 cases could cripple the Debtors' business
operations, causing immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors
and their estates.

The Debtors also rely on encumbered cash generated from their
operations to fund payroll, pay vendors, meet overhead costs, and
make any other payments that are essential for the continued
management, operation, and preservation of the Debtors' businesses.
The Debtors have approximately $22.4 million in unencumbered cash
available at Energy XXI Ltd.

The First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties,
has consented to the use of Prepetition Collateral.  The Second
Lien Secured Parties' consent is subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

The Debtors propose to provide the First Lien Secured Parties with
this adequate protection package:

   * Adequate protection liens, including a first priority priming
lien on, and security interest in the Prepetition Collateral and
all other of the Debtors' now owned and hereafter-acquired real and
personal property, assets and rights of any kind or nature, and a
junior priority lien on and security interest in all prepetition
and postpetition property of the Debtors that is subject to a
prepetition lien

   * Allowed administrative claims as provided in Section 507(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code, with priority in payment over any and all
unsecured claims and administrative expense claims against the
Debtors;

   * Each calendar month after the entry of the Interim Order, in
an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid prepetition or
postpetition interest, fees and costs due and payable under the
First Lien Credit Agreement, with additional interest on the First
Lien Prepetition Indebtedness at the post-default rate of 2%
continuing to accrue and be added to the aggregate allowed amount
of the First Lien Prepetition Indebtedness;

   * Payment of reasonable and document fees, expenses, and
disbursements incurred by the First Lien Agent under the First Lien
Credit Agreement;

   * Maintenance of the Debtors' cash management system in a manner
consistent with an order granting the Debtors' cash management
motion;

   * Continued compliance with certain financial reporting
requirements set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement and
certain additional reporting requirements described in the Interim
Order; and

   * Certain restrictions set forth in the Interim Order related to
sales and dispositions of Collateral.

The Debtors also propose to provide the Second Lien Secured Parties
with an adequate protection package that includes adequate
protection liens, including security interests in and liens on the
Collateral, subject only to the Carve-Out, the First Lien Adequate
Protection Liens, and the liens and security interests securing the
First Lien Prepetition Indebtedness, and subject further to the
Intercreditor Agreement.

The Debtors have stipulated, subject to a challenge period, to,
among other things, the amount of the claims and the validity of
the liens of the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition Secured Parties
as of the Petition Date.

                Prepetition Capital Structure

As of the Petition Date, the Company's liabilities totaled
approximately $2.9 billion.  The Company's significant funded debt
obligations include:

                                            Interest     Amount
($ in millions)                 Maturity      Rate     Outstanding
                                --------    --------   -----------
A. Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc.:
  Revolving Credit Facility     April 2018      6.25%         ___
  Second Lien Notes             March 2020     11.00%      $1,450
  9.25% Senior Notes            December 2017   9.25%        $249
  7.75% Senior Notes            June 2019       7.75%        $101
  7.50% Senior Notes            December 2021   7.50%        $238
  6.875% Senior Notes           March 2024      6.875%       $144
B. EPL Oil & Gas, Inc.:
  Revolving Credit Facility     April 2018      6.25%         $99
  8.25% Senior Notes            February 2018   8.25%        $214
C. Energy XXI:
  3.00% Convertible Notes       December 2018   3.00%        $363

The Company maintains a reserve-based revolving credit facility
under the Second Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement
dated as of May 5, 2011 (as amended, the "First Lien Credit
Agreement") between EGC, EPL, the lenders party thereto, First Lien
Lenders"), and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the
"First Lien Agent").  The reserve-based revolving credit facility
(the "Revolving Credit Facility"), under the First Lien Credit
Agreement, as amended, has a maximum facility amount and borrowing
base of approximately $327.1 million.  Approximately $99.4 million
of the total borrowing base is allocated to the sub-facility
established for EPL under the First Lien Credit Agreement.  The
remaining approximately $227.7 million borrowing base at EGC is
undrawn, but committed for issued and outstanding undrawn letters
of credit.  Accordingly, as of the Petition Date, there is no
availability to draw on the Revolving Credit Facility.

On March 12, 2015, EGC issued $1.45 billion aggregate principal
amount of 11.0% senior secured second lien notes due March 15, 2020
(the "Second Lien Notes"), which were issued at 96.313% of par,
resulting in original issue discount of approximately $53.5
million.  The Second Lien Notes were issued under the Indenture
dated March 12, 2015 (the "Second Lien Notes Indenture"), among
EGC, as issuer, the guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association,
as trustee.   Interest under the Second Lien Notes is payable
semi-annually in March and September, subject to a 30-day grace
period. EGC did not make the approximately $79.75 million interest
payment on the Second Lien Notes due on March 15, 2016, and the
grace period with respect to such payment was scheduled to expire
at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 14, 2016.

ENERGY XXI: Seeks to Limit Trading to Protect NOLs
--------------------------------------------------
Energy XXI Ltd, et al., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas to establish and implement restrictions
and notification requirements regarding the tax ownership and
certain transfers of Debtor Energy XXI's existing common stock (the
"Common Stock"), 5.625% Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"5.625% Preferred Stock"), and 7.25% Perpetual Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "7.25% Preferred Stock") and, together with
the Common Stock and the 5.625% Preferred Stock, the "Stock").

Judge David R. Jones has approved the Debtors' Motion on an interim
basis.  A final hearing on the Motion is scheduled for May 5, 2016,
at 2:30 p.m.

A company generates net operating losses ("NOLs") if its expenses
exceed revenues generated during a single tax year.  The Debtors
have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant NOLs. The
Debtors estimate that as of June 30, 2015, the Debtors have NOLs of
$1,019,541,604 and $773,342,728 for federal and state tax reporting
purposes, respectively.  In addition, as of June 30, 2015, the
Debtors have generated $282,006 in minimum tax credits ("AMT
Credits") and $384,003 in general business credits ("Business
Credits" and together with the AMT Credits and the NOLs, the "Tax
Attributes") for federal tax reporting purposes.

The Debtors' Tax Attributes may be worth as much as $419,167,086 in
potential future tax savings.

Because an "ownership change" may negatively impact the Debtors'
utilization of their NOLs, the Debtors proposed these procedures:

   * Any "substantial equity holder " -- entity that has direct or
indirect beneficial ownership of at least at least (i) 4,387,817
shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 4.50% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the Petition Date, (ii)
31,151 shares of 5.625% Preferred Stock, which represents
approximately 4.5% of the issued and outstanding 5.625% Preferred
Stock as of the Petition Date, or (iii) 135 shares of 7.25%
Preferred Stock, which represents approximately 4.5% of the issued
and outstanding 7.25% Preferred Stock as of the Petition Date, --
must serve and file a declaration on or before the later of (i) 15
days after the date of the interim order approving the procedures
and (ii) 10 days after becoming a substantial shareholder.

   * At least 15 days prior to effectuating any transfer of the
equity securities that would result in another entity becoming a
substantial shareholder, the parties to such transaction must serve
and file a notice of the intended stock transaction.

   * The Debtors have 15 days after receipt of the stock
transaction notice to object to the proposed transaction.

   * If the Debtors do not object, the proposed transaction may
proceed.

   * Any transfer of the equity securities in violation of the
procedures will be null and void ab initio.

ENERGY XXI: Seeks to Pay $10.2 Million to Critical Vendors
----------------------------------------------------------
Energy XXI Ltd, et al., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas for approval to pay, in the reasonable
exercise of their business judgment, amounts totaling up to $10.2
million owed to certain vendors that are critical to the Debtors'
business operations.

The Debtors, in consultation with their professional advisors,
meticulously reviewed a list of approximately 1,700 vendors to
determine which vendors were absolutely critical to their business
operations.

The Debtors seek to pay all vendors the amounts owed for
prepetition services rendered and goods sold.  Rather, the Debtors
seek authority to pay only those vendors that they have determined
in their business judgment to be truly critical to their production
operations (21 out of the approximately 1,700 vendors in the
Debtors' accounts payable system, or approximately $10.2 million
out of approximately $64 million in total prepetition vendor
claims).

The list of critical vendors include staffing companies Island
Operating Company, Shamrock Management LLC, Sirius Technologies,
and Wood Group PSN, Inc., which supply the vast majority of the
Debtors' offshore labor.  Specifically, these Staffing Companies
provide approximately 1,000 specialized workers that are trained
and critical to the Debtors offshore operations.  Many of the
offshore workers employed through the Staffing Companies have been
working on the Debtors' platforms for years and have historical
knowledge of the Debtors' offshore facilities and operations
(including safety procedures).  According to the Debtors, it would
be difficult, if not impossible, for the Debtors to replace and
retrain their entire offshore workforce.

Additionally, Ethos Energy Light Turbines LLC and Solar Turbines
Incorporated provide vital compressor equipment and spare parts
that cannot be located by the Debtors elsewhere.  The Debtors say
that without such compressor equipment and spare parts, the Debtors
production operations will be materially impacted.

The 21 critical vendors identified by the Debtors are:

                                                          Amount
    Vendor Name                Vendor Type             To Be Paid
    -----------                -----------             ----------
AFS Petrologix Compliance      Compliance Personnel       $46,000

closed loop solids control services, primarily for the oil and gas
industry.  Extreme Plastics has six facilities in Fairmont, West
Virginia, Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, St. Clairsville, Ohio, Moore,

The stock of Extreme Plastics is held entirely by EPP Intermediate
Holdings, Inc.  The stock of EPP Intermediate is held entirely by
EPP Holding Company, LLC, a non-debtor.

Extreme Plastics, and affiliate EPP Intermediate Holdings, Inc.,
sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.
16-10221) on Jan. 31, 2016, as the ongoing decline in the price of
oil and natural gas negatively impacted demand of the Debtors'
services.

Extreme Plastics estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and
$50 million to $100 million in debt.  EPP Intermediate estimated $1
million to $10 million in assets and $50 million to $100 million in
debt.

As of the Petition Date, Extreme Plastics owes $49.5 million under
a secured facility provided by lenders led by Citizens Bank of
Pennsylvania, as agent.   The facility is secured by a lien in
substantially all of the Debtors' assets, as well as a pledge of
100% of the equity in Extreme Plastics and EPP Intermediate.

The Debtors tapped Sullivan Hazeltine Allinson LLC as attorneys
and Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, as claims and noticing agent.

The U.S. Trustee has appointed five members to the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  The Committee selected Reed
Smith LLP as counsel.



FANNIE MAE & FREDDIE MAC: Josh Angel Sends Directors Draft Lawsuits
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua J. Angel sent draft complaints to all Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac directors yesterday to give them a peek at the specific claims
and causes of action for which he can recover damages from them
individually.  Copies of Mr. Angel's draft complaints are available
at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/JoshAngelFNMADraftComplaint.pdfand  
     http://bankrupt.com/misc/JoshAngelFMCCDraftComplaint.pdf

It's important to understand that Mr. Angel does not challenge or
contest the imposition of the conservatorship in 2008 nor does he
want to unwind the Net Worth Sweep imposed in 2012.  The
conservatorship and Third Amendment make no difference to Mr.
Angel.  He wants the government to honor its promises.  He wants
Fannie and Freddie's directors to do their jobs and fulfill their
fiduciary duties to preferred shareholders, and he's preparing to
sue them individually if they don't.  

                         The Implicit Guarantee

As we've previously reported, Mr. Angel asserts that:

    (A) the government's implicit guarantee of preferred shares
        has always been in place;

    (B) that implicit guarantee did not change when the GSEs
        were placed into conservatorship; and

    (C) the guarantee is still in place today.  

Mr. Angel explains that the government's implicit guarantee of the
GSEs' financial obligations -- their debts and preferred securities
-- arose over time by a combination of statutory provisions and
conduct.  If not for the government's implicit guarantee, Fannie
Mae would never have been able to sell $22 billion of preferred
stock and additional common shares at $20 apiece in the year prior
to entering conservatorship.

Mr. Angel acknowledges that when the GSEs pre-conservatorship
boards of directors agreed to conservatorship, they ceded control
over the GSEs' assets and conveyed plenary management power to FHFA
as conservator.  But HERA -- the governing conservatorship statute
-- does not give the current directors a license to disregard their
contractual obligations and fiduciary duties to preferred
shareholders.  

Interestingly, Howard N. Cayne, Esq., at Arnold & Porter LLP,
argued last week before the D.C. Circuit that FHFA has no duty to
anyone but itself and the GSEs.  We suspect Fannie, Freddie and
FHFA would also contend that the GSEs directors have no duty to
anyone but FHFA.  But the D.C. Circuit requested supplemental
briefs concerning 12 U.S.C. Sec. 4623 -- see http://goo.gl/8KzzLt
-- a statute never previously discussed in GSE shareholder
litigation which describes a process for Fannie and Freddie to
challenge actions taken by FHFA.  That process seems to contravene
the notion that the Congress intended for GSE directors to be
handpicked FHFA puppets and suggests directors are not fully
insulated from litigation.  

"Even more ethically troublesome," Mr. Angel says, "is Treasury
amnesia regarding its moral responsibility to effect junior
preferred share dividend, and stated value repayment in light of
its complicity in the marketing of the preferred shares as a
virtually risk free investment by virtue of the implicit
guarantee."  Recall that U.S. banks were allowed to treat GSE
preferred stock as Tier I capital.  To quantify the risk, if any,
the market perceived about Fannie Mae's Series T preferred
securities issued less than four months prior to the
conservatorship, we contacted Bloomberg, Creditex and Markit, and
the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., for help
locating credit default swap pricing data for CUSIP 313586737.  To
our surprise, there isn't any pricing data.  That only makes sense
if nobody perceived there was any risk to insure and no credit
default swaps were traded.  

Mr. Angel's draft complaints charge that the Net Worth Sweep
provided the GSEs with no benefit, and the directors' failure to
reject the Third Amendment constitute multiple breaches of their
duties to preferred shareholders in addition to plain old-fashioned
corporate waste.  

                         Honoring Commitments

Mr. Angel points to a Treasury-issued news release -- see
https://goo.gl/ZO00N4 -- dated Sept. 11, 2008, that affirmed the
implicit guarantee when it said, "[T]he U.S. Government stands
behind the preferred stock purchase agreements and will honor its
commitments.  Contracts are respected in this country as a
fundamental part of rule of law."  

At last week's hearing before the D.C. Circuit, Treasury's lawyer
from the Department of Justice branded GSE shareholders as
speculators.  Hamish Hume, Esq., at Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP,
representing the Class Plaintiffs in Perry v. Lew, reminded the
three-judge panel that Fannie Mae sold roughly two-thirds of its
outstanding preferred stock within the year prior to
conservatorship at par -- and speculators don't pay par value.  

In U.S. history, there was talk about evil speculators in 1789 when
Alexander Hamilton proposed his monetary plan to the First Congress
that called for reinstatement of all Revolutionary War debts at
100-cents-on-the-dollar plus interest.  Representative William
Maclay from Pennsylvania railed against Mr. Hamilton, and Rep.
Maclay's personal journal contains more unflattering commentary
about Mr. Hamilton.  Our Nation's decision to assume and pay all
Revolutionary War debts with interest has given our country
unlimited access to global capital markets -- to the tune of $19
trillion dollars and counting.  

Argentina completed the largest emerging market bond sale in
history this week, selling $16.5 billion in bonds after honoring
its obligations to so-called speculators following its default 15
years ago.  

Corporate debtors emerging from chapter 11 restructurings routinely
arrange exit financing facilities and find investors eager to hold
new post-reorganization debt and equity securities.  That's because
those broken companies fix their problems while under the
supervision of a bankruptcy court, write a new contract called a
plan of reorganization with their stakeholders, and honor their
obligations as required under the Bankruptcy Code and other
applicable law.  

Some intriguing proposals to restructure Fannie and Freddie have
been released in the past year by:

    * investment banker Jim Millstein at Millstein & Co. --
      see http://goo.gl/mTlMBX

    * thought leaders Drs. Robert J. Shapiro and Elaine C. Karmarck

      -- see http://goo.gl/7VRjgWand  

    * former Fannie Mae executive J. Timothy Howard -- see
      https://goo.gl/Z3DaFG

and they all require Fannie and Freddie (or their successors,
regardless of what name they may be known by) to have access to
capital.  If the government refuses to honor Fannie and Freddie's
pre-conservatorship preferred stock obligations, lenders and
investors won't make the capital available.

FREE GOSPEL: Burns Law Firm Approved as Substitute Counsel
----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland approved the
amended application of The Free Gospel Church The Apostles Doctrine
to employ John D. Burns, Esq., and the Burns Law Firm, LLC, as

As reported Troubled Company Reporter on March 25, 2016, the Debtor
requested for approval to employ John D. Burns and The Burns Law
Firm, LLC, as co-counsel.

Burns Law Firm will, among other things:

   a) provide legal advice concerning the Debtor's powers and
duties as Debtor-in-possession;

   b) prepare applications, answers, orders, reports and other
legal papers; and

   c) file and prosecute adversary proceedings against necessary
and duties as Debtor-in-possession.

The firm said that it will not provide services which unduly
overlap and duplicate the work which Mr. Morris and his law firm
are providing, including general counseling and particularized
representation to the Debtor in the nature of their church ministry
services required and duties otherwise necessary to the
representation of the Debtor outside the context of the Chapter 11
strictures for which Burns and his Firm are being retained to
perform.  Burns and his firm will represent the Debtor in
connection with Debtor's rights in the companion affiliate case of
FG Development for Chapter 11 work only; however, Burns and his
Firm are not retained nor will they represent FG Development in

$7,500.  For bankruptcy services in the case, and a monthly
installment retainer of $1,500 per month is anticipated.  The

          About The Free Gospel of the Apostles' Doctrine

The Free Gospel of the Apostles' Doctrine, a non-profit, was
founded Feb. 9, 1996 as a Pentecostal denominational church.

Free Gospel is closely connected with F.G. Development Corporation.
F.G. Development guaranteed a loan to SMS Financial XXVI, LLC
("SMS") that was made to and for the benefit of Free Gospel.  After
Free Gospel defaulted on the loan, SMS looked to F.G. Development
for payment.

To stop SMS's collection efforts, The Free Gospel of the Apostles'
Doctrine filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. D. Md. Case
No. 15-18209) on June 9, 2015.  The petition was signed by
Antoinette Green-Snow as executive administrator.  The Debtor
estimated assets of $10 million to $50 million and debts of $1
million to $10 million.  Frank Morris, II, Esq., at Law Office of
Frank Morris II, serves as the Debtor's counsel.

On June 9, 2015, F.G. Development also filed bankruptcy (Case No.
15-18210), estimating $1 million to $10 million in assets.  F.G. is
also represented by the Law Office of Frank Morris II.

Free Gospel and F.G. did not seek joint administration of their
Chapter 11 cases.


FREIF NAP I: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Rating on $250MM Sr. Sec. Loan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' ratings on
FREIF NAP I Holdings III LLC's (NAP I) $250 million senior secured
term loan B due 2022 and $45 million senior secured term loan C due
2022.  The outlook remains stable.

S&P revised its recovery ratings on both term loans to '1' from
'2'.  The '1' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for very
high (90% to 100%) recovery of principal if a payment default
occurs.

"Our 'BB-' rating reflects reliance on distributions from leveraged
assets that have a good operational history and contracts that
shield a significant amount of market risk along with moderately
high debt leverage and refinancing risk when the term loan matures
in 2022," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Kimberly
Yarborough.  The rating also factors in a positive comparison of
NAP I to similarly rated peers.  The contracts limit demand and
price risk on most assets by providing capacity payments in
addition to energy payments that should cover variable expenses
with some headroom.  Coupled with the forced outages, lower natural
gas prices and resultant lower power prices have put some downward
pressure on the credit, but S&P expects consolidated DSCRs of 1.23x
in 2016, and improvement in future years.  For this reason, S&P's
rating outlook remains stable, reflecting its expectation that the
plants will continue to perform adequately with no major forced
outages in the next few years.

S&P bases the stable outlook on its view that the plants will
continue to perform adequately with no major forced outages in the
next few years.  If assets continue to operate as anticipated, S&P
expects cash flow stability due to the contracted nature of the
portfolio's assets.  S&P expects the portfolio's consolidated DSCR
to be between 1.23x to 1.25x during the next few years.

S&P could lower the rating if it expects the DSCR to decline below
1.2x for more than one year.  This could occur if there is material
operational underperformance at key assets such as Crockett
Cogeneration A California L.P (Crockett) or Lea Power Partners LLC
(Hobbs), the two largest contributors of cash to the portfolio, or
energy margins drop from our current expectations.

While not likely in the near term due to the limited upside and
opportunities for outperformance, S&P could raise the rating if the
portfolio outperforms S&P's expectations and minimum DSCRs on a
consolidated basis are greater than 1.4x during the term loan
period.



FRESH MARKET: Moody's Assigns B2 CFR & Rates $100MM Facility Ba2
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 Corporate Family Rating and
B2-PD probability of default rating to The Fresh Market, Inc.
Moody's also assigned a Ba2 rating to the company's proposed $100
million revolving credit facility and B2 rating to its proposed
$800 million senior secured notes.  Borrowings will be used to
finance the acquisition of The Fresh Market, Inc. by Apollo Global
Management, LLC and for general corporate purposes. Apollo is
acquiring the company for about $1.4 billion and will contribute
$495 million in equity to the transaction.  This is a first time
rating for The Fresh Market, Inc.  The ratings are subject to
review of final documentation.  The rating outlook is stable.

These ratings were assigned:

  Corporate Family Rating at B2

  Probability of default rating at B2-PD

  Proposed $100 million senior secured revolving
   credit facility maturing 2021 at Ba2(LGD1)

  Proposed $800 million senior secured notes maturing
   2023 at B2(LGD4)

                         RATINGS RATIONALE

The Fresh Market Inc.'s B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects the
company's high leverage, relatively small scale, increasing
competition and geographic concentration in the Southeast.  Moody's
estimates proforma for the transaction debt/EBITDA and
EBIT/interest is about 5.5 times and about 1.5 times respectively.
Moody's expects metrics to be pressured in the next 12-18 months as
new management undertakes a number of strategic initiatives to
improve operating performance including price investments which
will result in lower operating and EBITDA margins.  Based on
Moody's forecasts the company's reported operating margin is
expected to be 150 to 200 basis points lower than 2015 at about
5.0% -5.5% in the next 12-18 months.  Operating inefficiencies,
lack of merchandising innovation, higher pricing than competitors
and undisciplined store expansion into non-core markets accompanied
by management turnover has led to decline in traffic and same store
sales in each of the last four quarters and Moody's expects same
store sales to continue to decline in fiscal 2016.

In addition to the volatility in financial policies inherent with
ownership by a financial sponsor, our ratings also reflect the
execution risks associated with new management's turnaround plan
which will be challenging to implement in a very competitive
business environment which includes market leaders like Whole
Foods, Trader Joe's, Sprouts Farmers Market, Publix and Harris
Teeter.  The proliferation of organic and natural foods across the
conventional and alternative food retail space is expected to
continue.  This increased competitive environment may pressure The
Fresh Market's top line growth and margins as consumers have a
wider array of choices at potentially lower price points.

Ratings also reflect The Fresh Market's attractive market niche,
stronger operating margins relative to its peers and its above
average income demographic which is more resilient to economic
slowdowns and is less price sensitive.  The company's good free
cash flow generation and good liquidity are also positive rating
factors.  The company's non-unionized labor force is also a
distinct advantage over its unionized peers.

The ratings outlook is stable and reflects Moody's expectation that
financial policies will remain balanced and management initiatives
will drive improved same store sales growth and profitability.

Ratings could be upgraded if operating performance improves such
that same store sales growth becomes consistently positive
accompanied with margin stability.  In addition, an upgrade would
require maintaining good liquidity.  Quantitatively, an upgrade
would require debt/EBITDA and EBIT/interest to be sustained below
5.0 times and above 1.75 times, respectively.

Ratings could be downgraded if operating performance does not
improve and negative trends in same store sales and operating
margins continue such that debt/EBITDA and EBIT/interest are
sustained above 6.25 times and below 1.25 times, respectively.
Ratings may also be downgraded if liquidity erodes and financial
policies, including debt-financed share repurchases and
acquisitions, become aggressive.

The Fresh Market, Inc. headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina
operates 187 grocery stores in 27 states with two thirds of its
stores in the Southeast.  The company is being acquired by Apollo
Global Management, LLC.  Revenues for Fiscal year 2015 totaled $1.9
billion.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Retail Industry
published in October 2015.


FRESH MARKET: S&P Assigns 'B' CCR & Rates $100MM Revolver 'BB-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to Greensboro, N.C.-based The Fresh Market Inc.  The
outlook is stable.  Concurrently, S&P assigned a 'BB-' issue-level
rating to the company's proposed $100 million senior secured
revolver due 2021.  The recovery rating is '1', indicating S&P's
expectation for very high (90% to 100%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default or bankruptcy.  S&P also assigned a 'B'
issue-level rating to the company's $800 million senior secured
notes.  The recovery rating is '3', indicating S&P's expectation
for meaningful recovery in the event of a payment default or
bankruptcy, at the low end of the 50% to 70% range.

"The rating on The Fresh Market reflects its niche focus as a
specialty premium grocer in the highly competitive food retail
sector, concentrated footprint in the increasingly crowded
southeast market, and diminished value proposition in recent years
as evidenced by sequentially declining same-store sales," said
credit analyst Declan Gargan.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that credit
protections measures will remain in the low- to mid-5.0x range in
the near term as strategic initiatives are implemented and
operating performance gradually stabilizes.  Additionally, while
S&P expects margins to compress as the company begins to invest in
price aggressively later this year, S&P believes cost saving
efficiencies should partially offset some of the impact to EBITDA.


S&P could lower the rating if the company is unable to successfully
execute its strategic initiatives, causing operating results to
deteriorate and resulting in weaker credit protection measures.
This could occur if price investments and remerchandising efforts
fail to resonate with customers, leading to sustained negative
same-store sales, and the company is unable to offset lower prices
with sales volume, leading to a reduction in profitability.
Specifically, if gross margin is 200 bps below our expectation,
traffic is weak and revenue declines more than 5%, leverage would
increase to the mid-6.0x area and result in negative free cash
flow.  S&P could also lower the rating if the financial sponsor
utilizes an additional debt raise to fund a dividend payment in the
next year.

A higher rating is unlikely in the near term given S&P's
expectation that the company's capital structure will remain highly
leveraged over the next 12 months.  Additionally, S&P expects the
intensely competitive environment to persist, which leaves little
margin of error for The Fresh Market to successfully execute its
strategic initiatives.  Nevertheless, S&P could raise the rating if
turnaround results exceed our expectations, leading to improved
credit metrics, including leverage below 5.0x and EBITDA coverage
above 3.0x on a sustained basis and the company is committed to
maintaining a financial policy that will allow it to maintain
ongoing credit metrics at that level.


G&G UNIVERSAL: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee
-------------------------------------------------------
The Office of the U.S. Trustee disclosed in a court filing that no
official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the
Chapter 11 case of G & G Universal, LLC.

G & G Universal, LLC, sought protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 16-01478) on March 4,
2016. The Debtor is represented by Luis F. Vega Alicea, Esq., at

GENESYS RESEARCH: Trustee Hires Paul Saperstein as Auctioneer
-------------------------------------------------------------
Harold B. Murphy, the Chapter 11 trustee of Genesys Research
Institute, Inc. asks for permission from the Hon. Joan N. Feeney of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts to
employ Paul E. Saperstein Co., Inc., as auctioneer to conduct a
public auction sale of the Estate's right, title and interest in
certain research related equipment and other personal property
formerly utilized by the Debtor in the conduct of  its business.

Upon completion of the Public Sale, the Auctioneer will submit an
application seeking compensation for services rendered and for
reimbursement of expenses. The Auctioneer's application for
compensation will request compensation that will not exceed 10% of
the first $100,000 or part thereof realized from the sale of the
Personal Property or part thereof; 4% of the next $400,000 or part
thereof; and 3% of the balance.

The Auctioneer will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred.

Michael Saperstein, executive vice president of the Auctioneer,
assured the Court that the firm is a "disinterested person" as the
term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and does
not represent any interest adverse to the Debtors and their
estates.

petition was signed by Robert Stemple, clerk and treasurer.  Parker

GENESYS RESEARCH: Wants Online Auction for Research Equipment
-------------------------------------------------------------
Harold B. Murphy, Chapter 11 Trustee, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Massachusetts, Eastern Division, for
authorization to dispose of certain biological materials,
chemicals, and related materials located at Debtor Genesys Research
Institute, Inc.'s premises.

Mr. Murphy also asks the Court for authority to sell, by public
auction, all of the estate's right, title and interest in certain
furniture, fixtures, and equipment located at the Debtor's
premises, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and
interests, with such liens, claims, encumbrances, and interests to
attach to the proceeds of the sale.

Mr. Murphy relates that among the Debtor's assets, the Debtor owns
certain furniture, fixtures, and equipment, as well as certain
intellectual property related to its research.  He further relates
that on the Debtor's amended Statement of Financial Affairs, the
Debtor listed numerous items of Research Equipment consisting of
furniture, fixtures, and equipment located at the Premises but
titled in the name of Steward Health Care System, LLC.

Mr. Murphy tells the Court that in the course of its research, the
Debtor utilized or generated certain hazardous and non-hazardous
chemicals and certain biological materials including, without
limitation, biological specimens, human blood and tissue samples,
animal materials and carcasses, and related materials.  He further
tells the Court that the Materials are located at the Premises,
which consists of more than 14,000 square feet of office and lab
space located on parts of three separate floors adjacent to St.
Elizabeth's Hospital.

Mr. Murphy contends that he has executed a settlement agreement
with Steward for the assignment of all Steward's right, title and
interest in and to the Research Equipment and certain other
intellectual property to the Trustee, in exchange for $750,000.  He
further contends that the settlement requires the prompt removal of
the Materials from the premises, as well as the sale of the
Research Equipment.  He avers that the settlement requires him to
vacate the Premises by a date certain and surrender it to Steward
in broom clean condition free of the Research Equipment and the
Materials.

Mr. Murphy contends that the continued retention of the Materials
is unnecessary, burdensome, and impairs his ability to liquidate
the Debtor's assets.  He further contends that the sale of the
Research Equipment by Public Sale is the most efficient means to
liquidate the Research Equipment.

Mr. Murphy tells the Court that he has filed an application to
employ Paul E. Saperstein Co., Inc., as auctioneer to conduct the
Public Sale.  He proposes that the Public Sale be conducted online
using the services of an internet company,
http://www.bidspotter.com/,due to the specialized nature of the
Research Equipment and the physical limitations of the Premises,
among other reasons.

GOODMAN AND DOMINGUEZ: Wants Plan Exclusivity Extended to Aug. 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Goodman and Dominguez, Inc. d/b/a Traffic ("G&D"), Traffic, Inc.
("TI"), Traffic Las Plazas, Inc. ("Las Plazas"), and Traffic Plaza
Del Norte, Inc. ("Plaza del Norte") ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of Florida to grant them, pursuant to 11
U.S.C. Sec. 1121(d), 90-day extensions of their exclusive right to
file a plan of reorganization and to solicit acceptances thereto,
thereby (a) extending the time during which the Debtors shall have
the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization from May 3,
2016 to and including August 1, 2016; and (b) extending the time
during which the Debtors shall have the exclusive right to solicit
acceptances thereto for such plan from July 1, 2016 to and
including Sept. 29, 2016.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors supports the Debtors'
requested extensions.

The Debtors' current exclusive period to file a plan expires on May
3, 2016.

Pursuant to the "Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case, Meeting of
Creditors & Deadlines" dated January 7, 2016, the general bar date
for entities to file proofs of claim is May 5, 2016.  The General
Bar Date falls less than one week after the current deadline of May
3, 2016 for the Debtors to file a proposed plan.

In addition, the Bar Date Notice set a deadline of July 5, 2016 for
governmental units to file proofs of claim.  The Governmental Bar
Date falls almost two months after the current May 3 deadline for
the Debtors to file a proposed plan.

Further, the deadline for creditors to file any section 503(b)(9)
claims is June 6, 2016.

As of April 15, 2016, 44 proofs of claim have been filed.

The Debtors contend that, in order for them to provide adequate
information regarding expected distributions to creditors in the
disclosure statement, it is necessary to extend the Exclusivity
Period and Acceptance Period until after the passage of the Bar
Dates to provide the Debtors sufficient time to review and analyze
the claims that are filed to determine the proper amounts of the
claims for inclusion in the disclosure statement.  

The Debtors note that they have made good faith progress towards
their reorganization.  The Debtors are in meaningful discussions
and negotiations with their landlords regarding potential lease
modifications and rent reduction which will greatly enhance the
Debtors reorganization efforts.  The Debtors need additional time
to continue and finalize these negotiations as part of the plan
process.

In addition, the Debtors have been working collaboratively
throughout their chapter 11 cases with the Committee, the
prepetition secured creditor and the Office of the U.S. Trustee on
issues that have arisen in these chapter 11 cases.

GREAT BASIN: Receives Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter
-------------------------------------------------------
Great Basin Scientific, Inc., a molecular diagnostics company, on
April 13 disclosed that, as expected, it received a Staff
Determination Letter dated April 13, 2016 indicating the Company
has not yet regained compliance and that it would be subject to
delisting unless it requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel (the "Panel").

The Company has until April 20, 2016 to request a hearing and
intends to make its request on that date.  The Company expects the
hearing will be held in mid-to-late May and expects the Panel will
issue its decision within 30 days of the hearing date.  The
Company's common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock
Market under the symbol GBSN pending the hearing date and the
expiration of any extension granted by the Panel.  The Company will
issue a press release when it receives notice of the Hearing
Panel's decision.

At the hearing, the Company will present its plan for regaining
compliance with the listing requirements and request an extension
of time within which to do so.  Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing
Rules, the Panel has the discretion to grant the Company an
extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Staff
Determination Letter; however, there can be no assurance that the
Panel will grant the Company's request for an extension.

"We have two possible ways to return to compliance," said Jeff
Rona, Chief Financial Officer of Great Basin Scientific.  "'The
first would be have our Market Capitalization rise above $35
million for 10 consecutive business days.  The other would be to
achieve positive stockholders' equity of $2.5 million.  We intend
to pursue both paths over the coming six months and we remain
optimistic the Panel will grant us the added time needed to execute
our plan and come into continued listing compliance."

HAGGEN HOLDINGS: Can Commence Closing Sales at 3 Stores

store base to 18, including a stand-alone pharmacy location.

Haggen rapidly expanded in 2014 and 2015, and, as of the Petition
Date, Haggen owned and operated 164 stores through three operating

HAGGEN HOLDINGS: Needs Until Aug. 3 to Remove Actions
-----------------------------------------------------
Haggen Holdings, LLC, and its affiliated debtors ask the U.S.

the deadline within which they must file notices of removal of
pending actions.

The Current Removal Period expired on April 5, 2016.  Since the
entry of the First Extension Order, the Debtors have continued to
diligently prosecute these chapter 11 cases by, but despite their
efforts they have not had sufficient time to review the Actions to
determine if any should be removed.  According to the Debtors, the
extension will afford them an opportunity to make more fully
informed decisions concerning the removal of any Actions, and will
assure that they and their estates do not forfeit the valuable
rights afforded to them.

certificate informing the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern

Chad J. Shandler, Esq., a partner of CohnReznick, related that
prior to the Petition Date, CohnReznick served as the financial

CohnReznick's employees acquired significant familiarity with the

firm well-qualified to be retained as the Committee's financial

things:

   1) at the request of Committee's counsel, analyze and review key
motions to identify strategic financial issues in the case;

HHH CHOICES: Committee Wants Hearing in Bid to Appoint Adjourned
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Debtor Hebrew
Hospital Home of Westchester, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York its response to the
United States Trustee's motion for an order directing the
appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee.

The HHHW Committee was formed just over two weeks ago and only
selected counsel one week ago.  At this early stage, the HHHW
Committee says it is not prepared to take a position on the Motion
and urges the Court to adjourn any hearing on the Motion to
coincide with the hearing on the motion of Hebrew Hospital Senior
Housing, Inc. (HHSH) for debtor in possession financing.

James J. Vincequerra, Esq., at Duane Morris LLP, in New York --
JVincequerra@duanemorris.com -- says the requested adjournment
would afford the HHHW Committee the opportunity to gather
additional facts concerning HHHW, its assets and liabilities and
its management and their decision making.  He asserts that those
additional facts would help shape the HHHW Committee's ultimate
position on the Motion.

Mr. Vincequerra tells the Court that in the short time that the
HHHW Committee has been active in these bankruptcy cases, it has
become evident that there are a number of "areas of concern" that
must be looked into prior to any decision on the Motion,
including:

   (a) Overlapping management of HHHW and HHSH and the inherent
       conflict of interest in connection with their decision to
       have HHHW fund a DIP loan to HHSH;

   (b) HHHW's failure to adequately respond to the HHHW
       Committee's request for information relating to DIP loan
       alternatives and the status of the HHSH sale process; and

   (c) apparent misstatements made to the NY Supreme Court, the
       Attorney General of the State of New York and the
       creditors of HHHW prior to the Petition Date in support of
       the initial loan from HHHW to HHSH.

In light of the above, the HHHW Committee says it cannot take a
position on the Motion at this time and respectfully urges the
Court to adjourn any hearing on the Motion to afford the HHHW
Committee an opportunity to investigate and gather additional
information regarding its concerns.

The HHHW Committee reserves all of its rights in connection with
the Motion, and further reserves its right to file its own request
for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee should circumstances
warrant.

Stephen R. Harris, Esq., of Harris Law Practice LLC, as liquidating
trustee appointed under the recently confirmed liquidating plan for
John Davis Trucking Company, Inc., on April 18, 2016, filed a
motion to sell 18 trailers owned by the Debtor for a total of
$496,500.

The Trustee has received an offer from Western Truck & Trailer
Sales, Inc., to purchase: seven 2011 Smithco side dump trailer
units for $65,000 per "pair", one singe Smithco side dump trailer
for $17,500, two 2000 Trail King side dump trailer for $17,000 and
one 2002 Circle R side dump trailer for $7,000.  

The offer to purchase the equipment is all cash, "as is" and "where
is", and the Trust will not incur any costs of sale or any
transportation costs, as those costs will be borne by the buyer.  

The Liquidating Trustee believes that the offer is fair and
reasonable, in that it will realize net proceeds for the estate
nearly equal to the proceeds obtained at auction.  The Court
hearing on the Motion will allow for overbidding by qualified
buyers, provided however that any overbid must provide net sales
process equal to or greater than the amount offered by Western
Truck.

Jumio Inc. filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (Bankr. D. Del.
Case No. 16-10682) on March 21, 2016.  The petition was signed by
Stephen Stuut as chief financial officer.  The Debtor estimated
assets in the range of $1 million to $10 million and debts of up to
$50 million.  Judge Brendan Linehan Shannon has been assigned the
case.

The Debtor has engaged Landis Rath & Cobb LLP as bankruptcy

KIRWAN OFFICES: Shareholder Asks Court to Dismiss Ch. 11 Case
-------------------------------------------------------------
Stephen Lynch, a Class C shareholder of Debtor Kirwan Offices
S.A.R.L., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the Chapter 11
case on the grounds of forum non conveniens in favor of an
arbitration in London.

Lynch further asks the Court to grant him leave to intervene in the
bankruptcy proceeding to contest the involuntary petition filed by
the Financing Shareholders -- Kirwan's Class A and Class B
shareholders, Mascini Holdings Limited, and Lapidem Limited.
Alternatively, Lynch asks the Court to stay the proceedings should
the Court find that the Debtor meets the eligibility requirements
under Bankruptcy Code, to allow the London Court of International
Arbitration to determine as to whether the loans for the Financing
Shareholder's claims are in fact due, as well as whether the filing
violates the SHA, and upon that determination dismissing the
petition.

Lynch asserts that the Debtor is a foreign entity with no nexus to
the United States, so that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has no
jurisdiction over the Debtor.  Lynch relates that on the eve of an
involuntary filing, the Petitioning Creditors have colluded with
equity holders holding contingent claims to commence an involuntary
proceeding and manufacture jurisdiction in the United States, in
violation of the putative Debtor's operative documents and
governing foreign law to further the interests of a subset of
equity holders and to the detriment of other equity holders.  

According to Lynch, the Financing Shareholders' loans are in the
nature of paid-in capital and cannot be recovered from the Debtor
unless and until there is a "Return" binding the parties as defined
in the SHA, and any claims relating to the loans are subject to a
bona fide dispute -- as to liability and amount -- and resolution
before the LCIA, which has exclusive jurisdiction over the same and
must so decide the claims by the application of English law.

Furthermore, Lynch asserts that, in their attempts to fabricate
bankruptcy eligibility where none exists, the Petitioning
Creditors' created these "unpaid claims," including the "Retainer"
accounts by the unauthorized and ultra vires acts of the
Petitioning Creditors, and as such these do not constitute funds of
the Debtor and are void ab initio.

LOGAN'S ROADHOUSE: Moody's Lowers CFR to Ca, Outlook Negative
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Logan's Roadhouse Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating to Ca from Caa3 and Probability of Default
Rating to Ca-PD from Caa3-PD.  Concurrently, Moody's lowered the
rating on the $144 million senior secured second lien notes to Ca
from Caa3.  At the same time, Moody's affirmed the company's
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-4 indicating a weak
liquidity profile.  The rating outlook is negative.

The downgrade reflects the high likelihood of a default following
Logan's announcement on 15 April that it elected not to make the
scheduled interest payment due the same day on its 10.75% senior
secured second lien notes due 2017.  The company has a 30-day grace
period and during that time the company intends to continue to
engage in discussions with noteholders and stakeholders regarding
strategic alternatives to improve liquidity.

Ratings downgraded:

  Corporate Family Rating to Ca from Caa3
  Probability of Default Rating to Ca-PD from Caa3-PD
  $144 million senior secured second lien notes due October 2017
   to Ca (LGD4) from Caa3 (LGD4)

Ratings affirmed:

  Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-4

                        RATINGS RATIONALE

The Ca CFR reflects the company's weak liquidity and very high
leverage -- debt/EBITDA was above 12.0 times for the LTM period
ended Oct. 28, 2015, -- interest coverage below 1.0 times, weak
same store sales, negative customer traffic, and concerns about the
sustainability of the capital structure.  Moody's does not expect
material improvement in Logan's operating performance given soft
consumer discretionary spending in the company's primary markets,
high beef costs, and the intense competitive environment among
casual dining concepts.

The negative rating outlook considers our view that without a
significant improvement in operating results, Logan's capital
structure is not sustainable in its current form, and there is a
high likelihood of a default.

The ratings could be lowered if the company does not reach an
agreement with its noteholders that avoids default and improves its
liquidity.  The ratings could be upgraded if the company's
liquidity profile improves significantly.

Logan's Roadhouse, Inc. headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, owns
and operates 230 and franchises 26 traditional American
roadhouse-style steakhouses in 23 states.  Annual revenues are
approximately $600 million.  Kelso & Company, L.P. owns
approximately 97% and management investors owns 3% of the capital
stock Roadhouse Holdings Inc., the parent holding company of
Logan's.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Restaurant
Industry published in September 2015.



LOGAN'S ROADHOUSE: S&P Lowers CCR to 'D' on Missed Interest Payment
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on Logan's
Roadhouse Inc., including the corporate credit rating, to D' from
'CCC-'.  S&P also removed the ratings from CreditWatch negative,
where it placed them on March 31, 2016.

The 'D' rating reflects Logan's announcement that it elected not to
make the April 15, 2016 interest payments on its 10.75% senior
secured notes due 2017 and series 2015-2 notes due October 2017,
and S&P's belief that the company will not make this payment within
the 30-day grace period.  The company continues to pursue strategic
alternatives to improve its liquidity, which S&P believes will
involve a broader financial restructuring.



LOUISIANA PELLETS: Has Until April 28 to File Schedules

MAGNUM HUNTER: Court Confirms Ch. 11 Reorganization Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware on April 18, 2016, issued findings of fact, conclusions of
law, and order confirming Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, et
al.'s Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.

The key element of the Plan is the agreement of creditors to
convert their pre- and postpetition funded debt claims, including
the DIP facility claims of up to $200 million, second lien claims
of $336.6 million, and note claims of $600 million, into new
common
equity.  Specifically, the DIP Facility Lenders shall receive
their
pro rata share of 28.8 percent of the new common equity, the
second
lien lenders will receive their Pro Rata share of 36.87 percent of
the New Common Equity, and the Noteholders shall receive their Pro
Rata share of 31.33 percent of the New Common Equity (all of which
is subject to dilution by the Management Incentive Plan).

Moreover, the holders of the equipment and real estate notes with
principal totaling $13.2 million will have their claims
reinstated.

The holders of general unsecured claims will receive their pro
rata
share of the unsecured creditor cash pool.  It is currently
intended that the unsecured creditor cash pool will be
$20,000,000,
which amount may be subject to the costs of any professional fees
or other expenses incurred as part of the claims reconciliation
process.  The Disclosure Statement still has blanks as to the
projected total amount of unsecured claims and the estimated
percentage recovery by the class.

Class 7 (General Unsecured Claims - Bakken Hunter Canada, Inc.),
Class 7 (General Unsecured Claims - Hunter Aviation, LLC), Class 7
(General Unsecured Claims - Hunter Real Estate, LLC), Class 7
(General Unsecured Claims - Magnum Hunter Marketing, LLC), and
Class 7 (General Unsecured Claims - Magnum Hunter Production,
Inc.), voted to accept the Plan for each of the Debtor.

All objections to Confirmation of the Plan have been withdrawn,
waived, or otherwise resolved by the Debtors prior to entry of the
Confirmation Order.  To the extent that any objections to
Confirmation of the Plan have not been withdrawn, waived, or
settled prior to entry of the Confirmation Order, are not cured by
the relief granted in the Confirmation Order, or otherwise resolved
as stated by the Debtors on the record of the Confirmation Hearing,
all those objections are overruled on the merits.

MCGAHAN FAMILY LP: Seeks to Sell Property for $7,000
----------------------------------------------------
McGahan Family Limited Partnership is asking the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Alaska, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363,
for approval to sell real property for $7,000.  The Debtor is in
the business of developing land and then selling the improved lots.
In this case, the Debtor has developed an airport complex and is
in the process of selling lots with airport access.  The Debtor has
received an offer for purchase from Merrill McGahan.  The amount
offered by the buyer is sufficient to pay all creditors of the
Debtor: Kenai Peninsula Borough ($5,719), AT&T ($146), State Farm
($299), and administrative fees ($650).

The Debtor prays for an order allowing a sale free and clear of all
liens except for the liens held by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Debtor is informed and believes that the IRS asserts a lien
against the property.  The Debtor does not owe monies to the IRS.
The IRS liens resulted from a judgment against Merrill McGahan (an
individual who filed Chapter 13 on September 19, 2015, Case No.
A15-00284) for individual income taxes.

                      About McGahan Family LP

McGahan Family Limited Partnership sought protection under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Alaska Case No. 16-00049) on
March 4, 2016.  The Debtor estimated less than $50,000 in assets
$50,000 to $100,000 in liabilities.  The Debtor is represented by
Terry P. Draeger, Esq., at Beaty & Draeger, Ltd.


MCGRAW-HILL EDUCATION: S&P Assigns 'B' CCR, Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B'
corporate credit rating to New York City-based education material
and learning solutions provider McGraw-Hill Education Inc. (MHE).
The rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P lowered its corporate credit ratings on
McGraw-Hill Global Education Holdings LLC (MHGE) and McGraw-Hill
School Education Holdings LLC (MHSE) to 'B' from 'B+'.  The rating
outlook on the companies is stable.  MHE is the parent company of
MHGE and MHSE.

S&P also assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '1' recovery
rating to MHGE's proposed $1.655 billion senior secured credit
facility, which includes a $350 million revolving credit facility
and a $1.305 billion first-lien term loan.  The '1' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation for very high recovery (90%-100%) of
principal in the event of a payment default.

S&P also lowered its issue-level rating on MHGE Parent LLC (HoldCo)
and MHGE Parent Finance Inc.'s $500 million payment-in-kind (PIK)
toggle notes to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The recovery rating remains '6',
which indicates S&P's expectation for negligible recovery (0%-10%)
of principal in the event of a payment default.

S&P's 'B' corporate credit rating on MHE reflects the company's
solid market position as the third-largest U.S. provider in both
higher education and K-12 education publishing, its narrow focus on
educational learning solutions, its reliance on volatile state and
local budgetary spending that directly affects the K-12 business,
and its private equity ownership and aggressive financial policy.
The rating also reflects the intense competition the company faces
from the used and rental textbook markets, and from new
nontraditional education and learning solution providers.

"The downgrade of MHGE and MHSE to 'B' from 'B+' reflect our view
that MHE will maintain its aggressive financial policy," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Thomas Hartman.  "MHE has
demonstrated its willingness to initiate frequent debt financed
special dividends to shareholders, and we believe that its credit
ratios will remain consistent with the higher debt leverage and
weaker payback credit measures we expect following the
recapitalization."

The stable rating outlook reflects S&P's view that MHE will
maintain or grow its market share while continuing to successfully
execute its digital and online education initiatives.  The outlook
also reflects S&P's expectation that the company will maintain
adequate liquidity and continue to aggressively pursue capital
return or other shareholder-friendly initiatives.

S&P could raise its corporate credit rating on MHE if S&P believes
the company's aggressive financial policy has moderated, and it
continues to generate strong cash flow, including achieving and
maintaining free operating cash flow (FOCF) to debt above 10%.
Under this scenario, S&P would expect MHGE and MHSE to maintain or
gain market share and maintain discretionary cash flow (DCF) to
debt above 5%.

Although unlikely over the next year, S&P could lower the rating if
MHE's operating performance deteriorates, causing cash flow
generation to weaken considerably and FOCF to debt to fall to and
remain below 5%.  This could occur if the company further increases
leverage (potentially through additional debt-financed dividends),
if MHGE faces an acceleration of enrollment declines, or if MHSE
loses market share or its addressable market declines
significantly.



MEDICAL EDUCATIONAL: Chapter 11 Case Dismissed
----------------------------------------------
Medical Educational and Health Service, Inc., sought and obtained
from Judge Brian K. Tester of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico, the dismissal of its Chapter 11 case.

The Debtor contended that it sought the dismissal of its bankruptcy
case because of the will of its directors and because it no longer
appears justified to continue under the protection of the
Bankruptcy Court.

MERITAGE HOMES: Moody's Raises CFR to Ba2, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Meritage Homes Corporation's
Corporate Family Rating to Ba2 and its Probability of Default
Rating to Ba2-PD.  Concurrently, the ratings on Meritage's Senior
Unsecured Bonds were upgraded to Ba2 from Ba3 and the
Speculative-Grade Liquidity (SGL) rating was affirmed at SGL-2.
The ratings outlook was changed to stable from positive.

The upgrade of the Corporate Family Rating to Ba2 incorporates the
continued positive momentum in the company's financial performance
over the past several quarters.  Moody's expects the company's
results to continue to improve in 2016 and 2017 due to its
advantageous geographic footprint and reduction in debt leverage
from disciplined financial policy.

Moody's took these rating actions on Meritage Homes Corporation:

  Corporate Family Rating upgraded to Ba2 from Ba3;
  Probability of Default Rating upgraded to Ba2-PD from Ba3-PD;
  $175 million 4.5% senior unsecured notes, upgraded to Ba2 (LGD4)

   from Ba3 (LGD4);
  $300 million 7.0% senior unsecured notes, upgraded to Ba2 (LGD4)

   from Ba3 (LGD4);
  $200 million 7.15% senior unsecured notes, upgraded to Ba2
   (LGD4) from Ba3 (LGD4);
  $102 million 7.15% senior unsecured notes, upgraded to Ba2
   (LGD4) from Ba3 (LGD4);
  $200 million 6.0% senior unsecured notes, upgraded to Ba2 (LGD4)

   from Ba3 (LGD4);
  $127 million 1.875% convertible senior notes, upgraded to Ba2
   (LGD4) from Ba3 (LGD4);
  Speculative-Grade Liquidity Rating, affirmed at SGL-2;

Outlook changed to stable from positive.

                        RATINGS RATIONALE

The Ba2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Meritage's prudent balance
sheet management and continued good operating performance. The
company's homebuilding debt to book capitalization ratio of 48% at
the end of 2015 is down from 50% following the issue of $200
million in senior unsecured notes last June and we anticipate this
figure to decline below 45% in 2016.  Meritage's disciplined
approach to land acquisition and careful balance sheet management
through the last down cycle further reinforce its credit strengths.
Additionally, Moody's expects Meritage to see continued growth in
orders due to its well positioned group of divisions in key
homebuilding markets.  Meritage's good liquidity profile supports
the Ba2 Corporate Family Rating as well; the company had a large
cash balance at the end of 2015, a $500 million unused revolver,
and significant cushion under its covenants.

At the same time, the Ba2 rating is constrained by a concentration
of revenues in Texas and California that combined represented close
to 47% of 2015 revenues.  Meritage also does not have the same size
and scale of some of its Ba2 rated counterparts with $2.5 billion
of revenue in 2015 compared to CalAtlantic and Lennar which had two
and three times of that, respectively.

The stable outlook reflects the expectation that Meritage's
performance will continue to be good amidst a positive homebuilding
environment.

The ratings could be upgraded if Meritage is able to significantly
increase its size, scale, and geographic diversification.
Specifically, if it can grow revenue to $4.5 billion, maintain
gross margins of 20% while keeping debt leverage below 40% it can
be considered for an upgrade.

The ratings could be downgraded if the company's liquidity position
weakens or if earnings deteriorate and gross margins compress
meaningfully.  If the company adds a substantial amount of debt to
fund excessive land purchases or shareholder friendly activities
such that debt to book capitalization is sustained above 50%, a
downward rating action would also be considered.

Meritage Homes Corporation is the seventh largest homebuilder in
the U.S. (based on 2015 closings), primarily building single-family
attached and detached homes in the entry level, move-up, luxury,
and active adult segments.  Meritage operates in 17 different
markets in the states of Arizona, Texas, California, Colorado,
Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Total revenues and consolidated net income in 2015 were $2.6
billion and $129 million respectively.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Homebuilding
And Property Development Industry published in April 2015.


MHGE PARENT: Moody's Affirms B2 CFR & Rates Credit Facility Ba3
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the B2 Corporate Family Rating
and B2-PD Probability of Default Rating for MHGE Parent, LLC.  The
ratings on existing HoldCo notes issued by MHGE Parent, LLC are
also affirmed at Caa1.  Moody's also assigned Ba3 rating to
proposed $1,655 senior secured credit facility and B3 rating to the
proposed $670 million senior unsecured notes to be issued by
McGraw-Hill Global Education Holdings, LLC (a subsidiary of MHGE
Parent, LLC).  Proceeds from the senior secured credit facility and
senior unsecured notes, along with $160 million in balance sheet
cash (as of 12/31/2015 and pro-forma for the transaction) will be
used to repay McGraw-Hill Higher Education, LLC and McGraw-Hill
School Education Holdings, LLC existing senior secured debt and pay
$300 million dividend to the existing shareholders. The rating
outlook is stable.  These rating actions are subject to review of
final documentation and no meaningful change in conditions of the
proposed transaction as presented to Moody's.

Outlook Action:

  Outlook, Remains Stable

                        RATINGS RATIONALE

McGraw-Hill Education, Inc. plans to merge its education operations
by contributing McGraw-Hill School Education Holdings, LLC to
McGraw-Hill Global Education Holdings, LLC, issuer of the proposed
debt and subsidiary of MHGE Parent, LLC.  MHGE Parent, LLC's B2
Corporate Family Rating, stable outlook reflect the high resulting
leverage of the proposed transaction at 5.2x Total Debt to Cash
EBITDA, the combined entity's strong position within K-12 and
higher education markets and ownership by the financial sponsor,
which continues to pursue shareholder distributions.

The company's position within the higher education segment is
further enhanced by its only minor exposure to the troubled
for-profit education segment and its digital learning product gains
that have been developed to disintermediate the used and rental
textbook markets.  Digital products account for 45% of total
segment adjusted revenue, up from 29% in 2012.  Adaptive learning
products continued to grow unique users within their interface,
further solidifying the company's digital product strategy.  Within
K-12 segment, MHGE Parent, LLC will be exposed similar to its peers
to a lighter adoption year in 2016, with strong growth in state
adoptions in 2017.  The combined entity is unique its ability to
service both K-12 and higher education market segments which
respond differently to variations in macro-economic conditions.
The company generated $495 million in cash EBITDA during FY 2015
(including Moody's standard adjustments and cash pre-publication
costs as an expense) and $169 million in free cash flow, ending the
year with a cash balance of $553 million.  Moody's views the
proposed debt load of $2.475 billion inclusive of currently
outstanding HoldCo notes as manageable within the B2 CFR rating
category.

The proposed $1.655 billion Senior Secured Credit facilities
benefit from the subordination of proposed $670 million Senior
Unsecured Notes and $500 million existing HoldCo Notes, resulting
in a 2-notch tranche uplift from CFR to Ba3, LGD2 instrument
rating.  The proposed $670 million Senior Unsecured Notes are rated
B3, LGD5 due to their subordination to the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities, but ranking in higher priority to existing $500 million
HoldCo Notes, which maintain current ratings of Caa1, LGD6.
Moody's elevated concerns regarding the company's financial policy
remain as management continues to favor shareholder dividends in
lieu of de-levering, distributing $300 million in proceeds in the
proposed transaction.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that MHGE's cash
EBITDA will be largely flat year over year for 2016 as weaker
enrollment environment in higher education space continues, along
with limited state adoptions in the K-12 market pressure top line
growth, while the company's cost management initiatives help offset
operating income pressures.  Moody's expects MHGE will maintain
good liquidity over the next 12 months and generate
mid-single-digit percentage free cash flow-to-debt while reducing
debt balances through required amortization or potential voluntary
prepayments.  The stable outlook reflects our expectation that
leverage will remain flat over the next 12 months and does not
include additional debt financed distributions.  MHGE's ratings
could be downgraded if the company's revenue base erodes as a
result of soft market conditions or if the transition to digital
offerings stalls.  Weak free cash flow generation, debt-to-EBITDA
being sustained above 5.25x (including Moody's standard adjustments
and cash pre-publication costs as an expense), leveraging
acquisitions, unexpected shareholder distributions, or a
deterioration of liquidity could also result in a downgrade.  An
upgrade of the corporate family rating of MHGE is not likely given
its private equity sponsor's track record for significant cash
distributions.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Publishing Industry published in December 2011.

MHGE Parent, LLC, headquartered in New York, NY, is a global
provider of educational materials and learning services targeting
the higher education, K-12, professional learning and information
markets with content, tools and services delivered via digital,
print and hybrid offerings.  A subsidiary of a publishing company
that was formed in 1909, MHGE is one of the three largest U.S.
publishers focusing on the higher education and K-12 markets. The
company was acquired by funds affiliated with Apollo Global
Management, LLC in March 2013 for a combined $2.4 billion purchase
price and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MHE US Holdings, LLC. The
company reported revenues of $1.8 billion for FY 2015.



MICHAEL KING: UST Opposes Sale, Wants Dismissal or Ch. 11 Trustee
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Gail Brehm Geiger, Acting United States Trustee for Region 18, on
April 18, 2016, filed a motion asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Oregon to enter an order (1) dismissing the Chapter
11 case of The Michael King Smith Foundation, or, in the
alternative, (2) appointing a Chapter 11 trustee who will take
management of the Foundation's affairs.

"The Debtor has proposed a sale of a large portion of its assets
for less than the full amount of secured debt, apparently without
the consent of lienholders.  The proposed sale will not generate
proceeds sufficient to pay secured creditors in full or any
administrative expenses.  The Debtor has failed to provide adequate
information to evaluate the reasonableness of the proposed sale,
including the extent of marketing efforts, whether other bids were
received and the terms of those bids, and the complete terms of the
sale proposed by the Debtor.  The Debtor's original schedules and
Statement of Financial Affairs were deficient in significant
respects, and the Debtor has failed to file accurate and complete
schedules that identify the property secured by its largest secured
creditor.  The Debtor does not appear to have a source of income
that will support the payment of ongoing administrative expenses in
this case and it is not clear that assets would remain after the
proposed sale that could be used to pay these expenses. These facts
demonstrate cause for dismissal or, alternatively, the appointment
of a trustee under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b)(1) and 1112(b)(4)(A),"
the U.S. Trustee tells the Court.

                          Intent to Sell

On March 29, 2016, the Debtor filed a Notice of Intent to Sell Real
and Personal Property; Motion for Authority to Sell Such Property
Free and Clear of Liens; and Notice of Hearing.  The Debtor has not
filed a motion for approval of bid procedures in connection with
the Motion to Sell.

In the Motion to Sell, the debtor proposes to sell a large portion
of its assets: "the water park building, the space museum building,
and the surrounding parking lots;" "certain personal property
located in the water park and space museum buildings;" and eight
display aircraft described in an exhibit (collectively, the "Main
Assets").  The Debtor proposes to sell the Main Assets to George
Schott for $7.7 million.  The Debtor indicates in the Motion to
Sell that "[a]ll liens on the property total approximately
$9,291,720, of which the [d]ebtor believes a total of $2,000,000
need not be paid as secured claims."  The Debtor does not identify
the $2 million lien that it believes is invalid, avoidable, or
otherwise not allowable.  The Debtor further states in the Motion
to Sell that the estate will receive net proceeds of $0.00 from the
sale.

"It is not clear how the estate and creditors would benefit from
the proposed sale of the Main Assets for less than the amount owed
to secured creditors or how the case could be successfully
concluded after the sale.  The Debtor's lack of income combined
with the apparent lack of liquid assets following the proposed sale
suggest that the debtor will be unable to fund ongoing
administrative expenses in its chapter 11 case, says Carla G.
McClurg, attorney for the U.S. Trustee.

Ms. McClurg points out that the Debtor scheduled the personal
property alone it intends to sell at over $14.5 million.  According
to Ms. McClurg, it is concerning that the Debtor proposes to accept
an offer of $7.7 million for the personal and real property without
an explanation as to why that offer represents fair value for the
assets under the circumstances and the Debtor's efforts to expose
those assets to the market.

MISSION GROUP: Wright Career College Files for Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------
Dow Jones' Daily Bankruptcy Review, citing Jim Suhr of the
Associated Press, reported that Kansas-based Wright Career College
folded on April 15, looking to liquidate its assets in bankruptcy
after abruptly closing its five campuses in three states.

According to the AP, the Overland Park nonprofit filed for chapter
7 bankruptcy in Kansas City, Kan., under its corporate name of
Mission Group Kansas Inc.  It estimated liabilities and assets each
of $1 million to $10 million, and creditors numbering between 1,000
and 5,000, the AP report related.

The closures affect campuses in the Kansas cities of Overland Park
and Wichita, as well as Omaha, Nebraska, and Tulsa and Oklahoma
City in Oklahoma, the report said.

The college, which had roughly 3,000 students enrolled during the
2014-2015 fiscal year and in recent weeks stopped accepting new
students, largely trained students for jobs as medical assistants,
accountants and other business occupations, the report further
related.


MITEL NETWORKS: Moody's Puts B2 CFR on Review for Possible Upgrade
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Mitel Networks Corporation's B2
corporate family rating, B3-PD probability of default rating, and
Ba3 secured credit facilities ratings on review for possible
upgrade.  The rating action follows the company's announced merger
with Polycom Inc. (unrated), a communications solutions company, in
a transaction valued at about $2 billion.

The review for possible upgrade was prompted by the potential for
an improved credit profile once Mitel merges with Polycom.  The
doubling of revenue to $2.5 billion, enhanced geographic and
product diversity, and the deleveraging nature of the transaction
(pro forma adjusted Debt/EBITDA to 3.9x from 4.8x for fiscal 2015,
before synergies) are the drivers of the potential positive rating
transition.  The transaction is expected to close in the third
quarter of 2016.  Moody's expects to conclude the review concurrent
with or near the closing of the transaction.

On Review for Upgrade:

  Corporate Family Rating, currently B2
  Probability of Default Rating, currently B3-PD
  $50 million first lien revolving credit facility due 2020,
   currently Ba3 (LGD2)
  $660 million (face value) first lien term loan due 2022,
   currently Ba3 (LGD2)

Outlook Action:

  Changed To Rating Under Review From Stable

                         RATINGS RATIONALE

The review for possible upgrade will focus on: 1) financing plans
for the acquisition, 2) integration risks, 3) potential synergies,
4) the company's appetite for future acquisitions, and 5) how
Mitel's plans to address Polycom's declining revenue profile.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Diversified
Technology Rating Methedology published in December 2015.

Mitel Networks Corporation provides integrated business
communications software and related services to businesses and
carriers and is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada.



MOLYCORP INC: Oaktree's Takeover Delayed by Too Many New Owners
---------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that final
approval of Oaktree Capital Management's takeover of bankrupt miner
Molycorp is being delayed because the investment fund may have too
many partners in the deal.

According to the report, although Oaktree affiliates would own more
than 92 percent of the rare-earths company once its reorganization
is implemented, about 3,000 people would own the rest, which may
force the new Molycorp to register as a public company, Oaktree
attorney Andrew Leblanc said in court in Wilmington, Delaware.
Oaktree and other creditors are trying to find a way to keep that
from happening, the report related.

The report further related that even after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Christopher Sontchi signs a final order approving its
reorganization plan, the company may need as long as six months to
get all the regulatory approvals needed to exit bankruptcy,
Molycorp attorney Paul Leake said in court.

Chapter 11 voluntary petitions in Delaware (Bankr. D. Del. Lead
Case No. 15-11357) on June 25, 2015, after reaching agreement with
a group of lenders on a financial restructuring. The Chapter 11
cases of Molycorp and 20 affiliated debts are pending before Judge
Christopher S. Sontchi.

The agreement provides for a financial restructuring of the
Company's $1.7 billion in debt and provides up to $225 million in
gross proceeds in new financing to support operations while the
Company completes negotiations with creditors.

The Company's operations outside of North America, with the
exception of non-operating companies in Luxembourg and Barbados,
are excluded from the filings.  Molycorp Rare Metals (Oklahoma),
LLC, with operations in Quapaw, Oklahoma, also is excluded from
the
filings as it is not 100% owned by the Company.

Molycorp is being advised by the investment banking firm of Miller
Buckfire & Co. and is receiving financial advice from
AlixPartners,
LLP.  Jones Day and Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor LLP act as
legal counsel to the Company in this process. Prime Clerk serves
as
claims and noticing agent.

Secured creditor Oaktree Capital Management L.P., consented to the
use of cash collateral and to extend postpetition financing.

On July 8, 2015, the U.S. trustee overseeing the Chapter 11 case
of
Molycorp Inc. appointed eight creditors of the company to serve on
the official committee of unsecured creditors.  The Creditors
Commtitee tapped Ashby & Geddes, P.A. and Paul Hastings LLP as
attorneys.

                           *     *     *

Molycorp, Inc.'s Fourth Joint Amended Plan of Reorganization ("the
Plan") was confirmed on March 30, 2016 by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court
for the District of Delaware.

The Plan contemplates two possible outcomes: (1) the sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets if certain conditions set
forth in the Plan are satisfied and (2) (a) the sale of the assets
associated with the Debtors' Mountain Pass mining facility in San
Bernardino County, California; and (b) the stand-alone
reorganization around the Debtors' other three business units.

Judge Christopher Sontchi of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware on April 8, 2016, issued a findings of fact,
conclusions of law, and order confirming the Fourth Amended Joint
Plan of Reorganization of Molycorp, Inc., and its debtor
affiliates.

MULTIPLAN INC: S&P Raises CCR to 'B+', Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has raised its
long-term corporate credit rating on MultiPlan Inc. to 'B+' from
'B'.  The outlook is stable.  S&P also raised its issue-level
ratings on the company's senior secured facilities (comprising a
$1.7 billion term loan F due 2021 and a $75 million revolver due
2019) to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The senior secured recovery rating
remains unchanged at '2', indicating lenders could expect
substantial recovery (70%-90%) in the event of a payment default.
Though the recovery rating did not change, S&P's recovery
expectations are now on the high end of the '2' range versus the
low end of the range this time in 2015.  At the same time, S&P
raised its issue-level rating on Multiplan's $1 billion unsecured
note due 2022 to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.  The unsecured recovery rating
remains at '6', indicating lenders could expect negligible recovery
(0%-10%) in the event of a payment default.

S&P has also assigned its 'B+' long-term corporate credit rating to
MPH Acquisition Holdings LLC, the parent company of Multiplan and
the entity where the audited financial statements reside. MultiPlan
is an operating subsidiary that S&P views as core to the parent MPH
Acquisition Holdings, so, S&P's ratings on them are linked.

"The rating actions on MultiPlan reflect the company's substantial
improvement in revenues, earnings, and credit protection measures
since its leveraged buyout in March 2014," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Julie Herman.  "In 2015, revenues grew 20% as the
company continued to expand its reach with existing clients beyond
its core network product offering with various analytics services
and waste, abuse, and fraud solutions.  It also achieved growth
from those newly insured under the Affordable Care Act, ACA, and
notable new client wins, particularly with Blue Cross Blue Shield
plans, and in the Medicaid and workers' compensation lines."

MultiPlan's already peer-leading margins continued to improve,
reaching 71% at year-end 2015 from 67% the prior year as it
continued to benefit from scale and operating leverage.  This,
along with a substantial voluntary debt repayment ($270 million
during 2015), has allowed Multiplan to de-lever quickly and
materially with S&P adjusted debt to EBITDA declining to 4.5x as of
year-end 2015 from 6.3x as of year-end 2014 and a high of 7.2x as
of first-quarter 2014 after the LBO by Starr Investments and
Partners Group.  While S&P expects the company may re-leverage
above 5x due to the owner's aggressive financial policy, S&P don't
believe it will be to the levels of its historical post-LBO high,
so S&P believes the company will be able to maintain some of its
improved credit protection measures.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that MultiPlan will
maintain its leading market positon in the health care
cost-containment industry as shown by continued growth in earnings
and cash flow with revenue growth in the high-single digits and
sustained well above-average margins," Ms. Herman continued. "While
this will enable the company to continue de-levering, we don't
expect leverage to remain below 5x since our base-case expectations
incorporate an assumption of increased debt within the next one to
two years to fund a sponsor dividend or large acquisition.  Given
current leverage levels and substantial earnings, however, we don't
expect any re-levering above 6x-6.5x. We expect funds from
operations to debt to remain above 8% and EBITDA coverage to stay
above 3x."

S&P could consider a downgrade in the next 12 months if debt to
EBITDA falls to greater than 6.0x-6.5x, which could occur through
performance deterioration and/or if management takes a more
aggressive approach to financial policy than S&P anticipates.  S&P
would also consider lowering the rating if MultiPlan's business
profile deteriorates and becomes weak as shown by declining
revenues and margins and loss of key contracts.

"We view another rating upgrade as unlikely due to the financial
sponsor ownership and our view that the company will not sustain
leverage below 5x," Ms. Herman added.



NEW GULF RESOURCES: Court Confirms First Amended Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has
confirmed New Gulf Resources' First Amended Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement.

According to the report, "The Plan substantially deleverages the
Debtors' balance sheet by converting approximately $365 million of
debt under the Second Lien Notes into either 87.5% or 95% of the
equity in Reorganized NGR, depending on how the holders of
Subordinated PIK Notes vote on the Plan. The key components of the
Restructuring and Plan are as follows: DIP financing in the amount
of $75 million, the proceeds of which will be used to repay the
Debtors' First Lien Credit Agreement, provide operational
liquidity, and fund the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases . .
. .  Holders of Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims will receive their
Pro Rata share of (i) 87.5% of the New Equity Interests issued as
of the Effective Date and (ii) if the class of Subordinated PIK
Notes does not vote to accept the Plan, an additional 7.5% of the
New Equity Interests . . . .   Holders of Allowed Subordinated PIK
Notes Claims will receive their Pro Rata share of (a) if the class
of Subordinated PIK Notes votes in favor of the Plan, 12.5% of the
New Equity Interests outstanding as of the Effective Date and (ii)
if the class of Subordinated PIK Notes does not vote to accept the
Plan, 5% of the New Equity Interests."

The report noted that the Debtors also filed with the Court a
fourth supplement to its First Amended Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization. The supplement contains the following documents:
Exhibit A: description of restructuring transactions; Exhibit B:
form of new secured notes indenture; Exhibit C: form of reorganized
NGR holding management incentive Plan; Exhibit D:
managers/directors and officers of the reorganized Debtors.

NNN MET CENTER: Has Deal with GECMC, Wants Ch. 11 Case Dismissed
----------------------------------------------------------------
NNN Met Center 15 39, LLC, and its debtor-affiliates ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California to approve
a Compromise and Settlement with their Secured Creditor, GECMC
2005-C4 Metro Center, LLC, and dismiss the Chapter 11 proceedings.

On October 30, 2015, Lender filed its Proof of Claim, Claim No. 5
in the amount of "Not less than $26,166,206.81," demanding
postpetition interest thereon at the fixed rate of 10.16% per
annum.  The Lender's Claim asserted that the fixed interest rate
consists of 5.16% in contract interest plus a default interest rate
of 5%.  In a summary "Payoff Demand," the Lender contended that its
claim included, inter alia, "Default Interest" in the amount of
$3,415,624.

With the assistance of the settlement judge, a compromise and
settlement was reached on February 23, 2016, resolving the issues
in dispute between the Lender and Debtors regarding the Lender's
Claim.

The Agreement provides in pertinent part, that:

   (a) in full and complete settlement of the Entz-White issue,
       Lender will be allowed and Debtors will pay the sum of
       $1,100,000 on account of default interest and late
       charges, and Lender waives any and all claim to the
       balance of asserted default interest and late charges;

   (b) Lender shall be allowed and Debtors will pay the sum of
       $500,000 for Lender's postpetition attorneys' fees, and
       Lender waives the balance thereof incurred through
       February 23, 2016;

   (c) Lender will absorb the next $25,000 charged by its counsel
       for attorneys' fees charged after February 23, 2016, and
       any further Lender's postpetition attorneys' fees in
       excess thereof, if an agreement therefor cannot be reached
       between the parties, shall be determined upon motion as
       awarded by the Court;

   (d) in lieu of the Payoff Demand to Lender's Claim, the
       Debtors shall the pay the agreed sum of $22,557,362,
       hereinafter the "Base Amount of Payment," inclusive of the
       sums set forth in (a) and (b), but exclusive of any
       subsequent attorney's fees, as set forth in the Payoff
       Demand;

   (e) from and after the date of the Payoff Demand, Lender shall
       be entitled to be paid non-default contract rate interest
       on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan through the
       date of payment to Lender, at the per diem rate of
       $3,170.  Lender shall also be entitled to any postpetition
       attorney's fees agreed by the parties or awarded by the
       Court.  The Base Amount of Payment shall be adjusted
       accordingly through the date of final payment in full to
       Lender based on such payments, receipts and disbursements;

   (f) from and after the date of the Payoff Demand, the Debtors
       shall be entitled to credit against the Base Amount of
       Payment for all adequate protection payments made pursuant
       to the Cash Collateral Stipulation, and any increase in
       Reserve Accounts for receipt of all post-petition payments
       from tenants Progressive Insurance Company and Waste
       Management, less operating expenses and other amounts paid
       for the protection of the Real Property and associated
       with the Bankruptcy Cases, including fees paid to the
       United States Trustee.  The Base Amount of Payment shall
       be adjusted accordingly through the date of payment to
       Lender based on such payment, receipts and disbursements;

   (g) payment to Lender of all amounts provided shall be made no
       later than April 23, 2016.  In the event such payment is
       not made by April 23, 2016, unless such date is extended
       by order of the Bankruptcy Court, this Settlement
       Agreement shall be null and void in its entirety, and each
       parties' rights, demands and defenses shall be preserved
       in their entirety; and

   (h) promptly upon or concurrently in connection with such
       payment, Lender shall release its liens upon the Real
       Property and return to Debtors any other funds that it may
       have received from the Real Property or its tenants.

The Agreement constitutes a compromise embodying a complete and
full settlement of all issues between Debtors and Lender that are a
part of these Chapter 11 proceedings, and is in best interest of
creditors, Debtors and the estates, in that it minimizes
administrative expense and provides certainty while recovering
without further litigation the revenue amounts in controversy
between Debtors and Lender that would otherwise require the
prosecution of a formal objection to Lender's Claim, Darvy Mack
Cohan, Esq., Attorney at Law, in La Jolla, California --
dmc@cohanlaw.com -- tells the Court.

Mr. Cohan asserts that the compromise is made to avoid the
continuing administrative expense of protracted litigation and
appeal, ultimately to the detriment of Debtors and the estates, of
the Entz-White issue, as well as to resolve the accounting issues
between the Debtors' and Lender resulting in the additional sum of
$873,457 being properly credited to the Debtors, as a part of the
Payoff Demand, against Lender's Claim.

The Agreement also provides that the Chapter 11 Cases will be
dismissed, in advance of the closing of the Debtors' refinancing
escrow as provided in the Agreement and to effectuate the
Agreement.

Mr. Cohan says the Debtors have established Escrow No.6176433 at
Landmark Title Assurance Agency, as the Refinancing Escrow, with
Senior Commercial Escrow Officer Chris Maddox as the escrow
officer, for the closing of the refinance and payment of the
amounts required by the Agreement.  He adds that the fees of the
U.S. Trustee shall be paid through and upon dismissal, and all
other administrative expenses of these Chapter 11 proceedings,
including all attorney's fees, and all sums due to unsecured
creditors shall be paid from the funds made available upon the
closing of the Agreement, or otherwise according to their
respective contracts and in the ordinary course of business.

The Debtors also request that: (a) the Court retain jurisdiction
post-dismissal to the extent contemplated by the Agreement; and (b)
Alan Sparks be continue to be authorized post-dismissal to serve as
Responsible Individual and execute documents and take action on the
Debtors' behalf to the extent needed to effectuate the refinance
and comply with the Agreement.

NORTEL NETWORKS: Court Fight Resumes with $2-Bil. Spent on Fees
---------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church, writing for Bloomberg Brief, reported that Nortel
Networks Corp., the defunct telephone equipment maker, is back in
court for a fresh round of legal arguments in a seven-year-old
bankruptcy that has cost creditors about $2 billion including
attorney fees.

Those fees will keep eating away at a $7.3 billion pile of cash
while U.S. bondholders battle 56,000 Nortel U.K. and Canada
retirees in appeals courts, according to the report.  The money is
locked in escrow until judges in the U.S. and Canada agree on how
to dole out the cash -- or until the warring creditors cut a deal,
the report said.  The bondholders, and other U.S. creditors, were
in Wilmington, Delaware, federal court to ask the judge to reverse
a bankruptcy court ruling on how to divide the cash, the report
related.  That allocation ruling called for a pro-rata distribution
based on how much debt Nortel units faced in their respective
regions, the report recalled.

The report said the fight comes down to whether Nortel's U.S. units
have to share the money they raised by selling thousands of patents
and other assets.  Sharing with the parent in Canada and units in
Europe would have been routine before Nortel filed bankruptcy cases
in front of separate judges in the U.S., Canada and Europe in 2009,
but bondholders say that once Nortel sought court protection,
sharing was off the table, the report related.

The bondholders include funds managed by Aristeia Capital LLC,
Citadel Advisors LLC, Elliott Associates LP and Soros Fund
Management LLC.

                       About Nortel Networks

Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, Nortel Networks Corporation and
its various affiliated entities provided next-generation
technologies, for both service provider and enterprise networks,
support multimedia and business-critical applications.  Nortel did
Networks Limited was the principal direct operating subsidiary of
Nortel Networks Corporation.

On Jan. 14, 2009, Nortel Networks Inc.'s ultimate corporate parent
Nortel Networks Corporation, NNI's direct corporate parent Nortel
Networks Limited and certain of their Canadian affiliates
commenced
a proceeding with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under the
Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) seeking relief from
their creditors.  Ernst & Young was appointed to serve as monitor
and foreign representative of the Canadian Nortel Group.  That
same
day, the Monitor sought recognition of the CCAA Proceedings in
U.S.
Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-10164) under Chapter
15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

That same day, NNI and certain of its affiliated U.S. entities
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-10138).

In addition, the High Court of England and Wales placed 19 of
NNI's
European affiliates into administration under the control of
individuals from Ernst & Young LLP.  Other Nortel affiliates have
commenced and in the future may commence additional creditor
protection, insolvency and dissolution proceedings around the
world.

On May 28, 2009, at the request of administrators, the Commercial
Court of Versailles, France, ordered the commencement of secondary
proceedings in respect of Nortel Networks S.A.  On June 8, 2009,
Nortel Networks UK Limited filed petitions in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court
for recognition of the English Proceedings as foreign main
proceedings under Chapter 15.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross presides over the Chapter 11 and
15 cases.  Mary Caloway, Esq., and Peter James Duhig, Esq., at
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, in Wilmington, Delaware, serves as
Chapter 15 petitioner's counsel.

In the Chapter 11 case, James L. Bromley, Esq., and Howard S.
Zelbo, Esq., at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, LLP, in New
York,
serve as the U.S. Debtors' general bankruptcy counsel; Derek C.
Abbott, Esq., at Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell LLP, in
Wilmington,
serves as Delaware counsel.  The Chapter 11 Debtors' other
professionals are Lazard Freres & Co. LLC as financial advisors;
and Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC as claims and notice agent.

The U.S. Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors in respect of the U.S. Debtors.

An ad hoc group of bondholders also was organized.  An Official
Committee of Retired Employees and the Official Committee of
Long-Term Disability Participants tapped Alvarez & Marsal
Healthcare Industry Group as financial advisor.  The Retiree
Committee is represented by McCarter & English LLP as Delaware
counsel, and Togut Segal & Segal serves as the Retiree Committee.
The Committee retained Alvarez & Marsal Healthcare Industry Group
as financial advisor, and Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as its
communications agent.

Several entities, particularly, Nortel Government Solutions
Incorporated and Nortel Networks (CALA) Inc., have material
operations and are not part of the bankruptcy proceedings.

As of Sept. 30, 2008, Nortel Networks Corp. reported consolidated
assets of $11.6 billion and consolidated liabilities of $11.8
billion.  The Nortel Companies' U.S. businesses are primarily
conducted through Nortel Networks Inc., which is the parent of
majority of the U.S. Nortel Companies.  As of Sept. 30, 2008, NNI
had assets of about $9 billion and liabilities of $3.2 billion,
which do not include NNI's guarantee of some or all of the Nortel
Companies' about $4.2 billion of unsecured public debt.

Since the commencement of the various insolvency proceedings,
Nortel has sold its business units and other assets to various
purchasers.  Nortel has collected roughly $9 billion for
distribution to creditors.  Of the total, $4.5 billion came from
the sale of Nortel's patent portfolio to Rockstar Bidco, a
consortium consisting of Apple Inc., EMC Corporation,
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Microsoft Corp., Research In
Motion Limited, and Sony Corporation.  The consortium defeated a
$900 million stalking horse bid by Google Inc. at an auction.  The
deal closed in July 2011.

Nortel has filed a proposed plan of liquidation in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court.  The Plan generally provides for full payment on
secured claims with other distributions going in accordance with
the priorities in bankruptcy law.

The trial on how to divide proceeds among creditors in the U.S.,
Canada, and Europe commenced on Sept. 22, 2014.  The question of
how to divide $7.3 billion raised in the international bankruptcy
of Nortel Networks Corp. was answered on May 12, 2015, by two
judges, one in the U.S. and one in Canada.  Justice Frank Newbould
of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto and Judge
Kevin
Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., agreed on
the outcome: a modified pro rata split of the money.


NORTH AMERICAN LIFTING: S&P Cuts CCR to CCC+ on Continued Weakness
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has lowered its
corporate credit rating on North American Lifting Holdings Inc.
(TNT) to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured first-lien credit facility (consisting of
a $75 million revolver and $470 million first-lien term loan) to
'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The '3' recovery rating on the facility is
unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation for meaningful (50%-70%;
lower half of the range) recovery in the event of a payment
default.

Additionally, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the company's
$185 million second-lien term loan to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'.  The '6'
recovery rating on the debt is unchanged, indicating S&P's
expectation for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

"The downgrade reflects our belief that TNT's financial commitments
are unsustainable in the long-term and incorporates the increased
risk that the company may violate the net leverage covenant under
its revolving credit facility over the next 12 months absent an
improvement in its business and economic conditions," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Jaissy Lorenzo.  There is a 4.5x springing
senior net leverage covenant governing the company's first-lien
credit facility, which goes into effect when the company borrows
25% or more of the availability under the facility.  Although S&P
do not expect the company to draw on its revolver in 2016 to the
extent that it would trigger this covenant, further deterioration
in its operating performance and an inability to defer capital
spending could pressure its liquidity such that a covenant breach
becomes likely.

The negative outlook on North American Lifting Holdings reflects
S&P's belief that the company's capital structure is unsustainable
in the long-term and incorporates the increased risk that the
company may borrow more from its revolving credit facility than S&P
expects, resulting in a covenant violation.

S&P could lower its ratings on North American Lifting Holdings if
S&P expects the company to draw on its revolver to the extent that
its triggers the senior net leverage covenant and a covenant breach
appears likely.  S&P would also have to believe that the company
would not receive an amendment from its lenders or an equity
injection from its sponsors.

S&P could revise its outlook on North American Lifting Holdings to
stable if the company's end markets stabilize such that S&P expects
it to generate positive free cash flow and refrain from drawing on
its revolver.



NORTH-SOUTH ENTITY: Judge Dismisses Show Cause Order
----------------------------------------------------
A federal judge dismissed his prior order that required
North−South Entity, LLC to explain why its bankruptcy case should
not be dismissed.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David Warren previously ordered the company
to explain why he should not dismiss its case upon request from
Marjorie Lynch, bankruptcy administrator for the Eastern District
of North Carolina.

The court official had complained the company failed to provide
documents required under U.S. bankruptcy law.  Ms. Lynch withdrew
her request on March 28, court filings show.

                     About North-South

North-South Entity, LLC, filed a voluntary petition for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code before the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (Bankr. E.D.N.C.
Lead Case No. 16-01146) on March 3, 2016. The petition was signed
by J. Whitney Honeycutt, president of NSH, Inc., sole managing
member of Debtor.

The Debtor has an estimated assets of $10 million to $50 million
and estimated debts of $1 million to $10 million. Judge David M.
Warren has been assigned the case.


OPTIMAS OE: Moody's Lowers CFR to Caa1, Outlook Remains Stable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Optimas OE Solutions Holding,
LLC's corporate family rating to Caa1 from B3 and its probability
of default to Caa1-PD from B3-PD.  The downgrade reflects continued
execution risk, weaker than anticipated operating performance, and
deterioration in key credit metrics.  The rating outlook remains
stable.

This is a summary of Moody's ratings and rating actions taken for
Optimas:

   -- Corporate Family Rating, downgraded to Caa1 from B3;

   -- Probability of Default Rating, downgraded to Caa1-PD from
      B3-PD;

   -- $22 5 million Senior Secured Notes, downgraded to Caa2
      (LGD4) from B3 (LGD4)

                         RATINGS RATIONALE

The downgrade reflects disappointing execution since the company
became an independent entity.  The new Caa1 rating also reflects
deterioration in Optimas' operating results and key credit metrics,
including our expectations for continued high debt leverage above
9.0x and weaker interest coverage during the next 12 to 18 months.
The Caa1 rating also takes into consideration Optimas' reduced
margins.

The stable rating outlook is in line with Moody's view that
Optimas' key credit metrics will remain suitable for a Caa1 rating
during the next 12-18 months and takes into account Optimas'
adequate liquidity profile as well as its leadership position in
providing supply chain solutions.  The company has an extended
maturity window, with no commitments due until its revolving credit
facility expires in 2020 and its senior secured notes expire in
2021.

WHAT COULD CHANGE RATINGS UP/DOWN

A rating upgrade is unlikely in the near term.  However, positive
rating actions could ensue if Optimas' operating performance
exceeds our expectations, resulting in a better liquidity profile
and improved adjusted debt credit metrics as:

   -- Debt-to-EBITDA sustained below 6.5x.
   -- EBITA-to-interest expense approaching 1.5x.

A downgrade for Optimas would be possible if the company's
financial and operating performance deteriorates resulting in:

   -- EBITA-to-interest expense below 0.75x.
   -- Further deterioration in leverage levels.
   -- Any corporate activities such as debt-financed acquisitions
      or special dividends to their private equity that would
      increase Optimas' debt levels or damage its liquidity
      profile.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Distribution &
Supply Chain Services Industry published in December 2015.

CORPORATE PROFILE:

Headquartered in Glenview, Illinois, Optimas OE Solutions, LLC is a
leading distributor of engineered fasteners and other small
components to North American commercial vehicle manufacturers,
global luxury automakers, global agricultural equipment
manufacturers, and global power generation equipment manufacturers.
Optimas is owned by affiliates of American Industrial Partners and
began operating as a standalone entity in February 2015.


OSAGE EXPLORATION: Apr. 30 Challenge Deadline Extension Granted
---------------------------------------------------------------
Osage Exploration and Development, Inc., Apollo Investment
Corporation and the Official Unsecured Creditor's Committee sought
and obtained from Judge Sarah A. Hall of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Western District of Oklahoma approval to extend the
Committee's challenge deadline from March 21, 2016 to April 30,
2016.

"Cause exists to permit an extension of the Challenge Deadline for
the Committee's investigation to April 30, 2016.  The Committee was
not appointed until three days after entry of the Final DIP Order.
The Committee therefore did not have any input with respect to
setting the Challenge Deadline in the terms of the Final DIP
Order...  The Committee will be unable to complete its
investigation within the tight time frame of the current Challenge
Deadline.  This is especially true given that Joint Applicants are
engaging in discovery efforts, with Debtor currently beginning a
review of electronic discovery that will likely not be produced
until late in the week of March 21-25.  While the Committee has
been moving the investigation forward as quickly as it can, the
Committee needs additional time to complete a thoughtful
investigation," the parties aver.

OSAGE EXPLORATION: UCC Calls EIP an Impermissible Retention Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Official Unsecured Creditor's Committee in Osage Exploration
and Development, Inc.'s case submitted with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, an objection to Osage's
motion seeking the approval of an Employee Incentive Plan.

The Official Committee argues that the Debtor's Employee Incentive
Plan ("EIP") fails because there are no performance targets for the
Employees to actually incentivize their work, such as enhancement
of the purchase price and increased distribution to creditors,
among others.  The Committee further argues that there are no
metrics for the Court to determine whether the Employees are doing
something above and beyond what they would ordinarily do to earn
their normal salaries.  It asserts that from the Debtor's Motion,
all the Court can rely on is the platitudes of the Debtor and its
advisor to approve a payment plan that they designed for
themselves.

The Official Committee tells the Court that the EIP is not a
Severance Plan nor an Incentive Plan, but an impermissible
Retention Plan.  It further tells the Court that the EIP does not
comport with the concept of severance payments and that it is not
being provided to the Employees because of their Termination.  The
Official Committee contends that the Debtor is giving the Employees
the right to the EIP payments well before termination.  The
Official Committee further contends that the EIP does not meet the
incentive requirements for approval under 503(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

                          Debtor's Reply

"As a result of the sale of the Debtor's assets, the Employees'
employment will be terminated because the sale will effectively end
the Debtor's business.  The Employees' services will no longer be
necessary and they will thus be dismissed from their positions.
The Incentive Payment is undoubtedly a severance payment," the
Debtor asserts.

The Debtor argues that the EIP is not an impermissible retention
program.  It asserts that there is a reasonable relationship
between the EIP and the result to be obtained, and the EIP is
calculated to achieve the desired performance.  It further asserts
that the EIP contains various incentives calculated to ensure that
the Employees contribute to the success of the Sale Process.  The
Debtor contends that the Incentive Payments are not payable until
the closing of the sale of the Debtor's assets.  The Debtor further
contends that the amount of the Incentive Payment is tied to the
amount of the sale, encouraging Employees to not only work toward
the closing of the sale, but more importantly to generate a
purchaser who will provide the highest and best price for the
Debtor's assets.

The Debtor's Motion is scheduled for hearing on April 18, 2016 at
9:30 a.m.

PACIFIC SUNWEAR: Delisted From Nasdaq; Now Trades at OTC
--------------------------------------------------------
Pacific Sunwear of California, Inc., on Sept. 1, 2015, received a
deficiency letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market notifying the
Company that it no longer met NASDAQ's requirements for continued
listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under NASDAQ Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”) because the minimum bid
price of the Company's common stock had not equaled or exceeded
$1.00 at least once over a period of 30 consecutive business days.
The First Notification Letter did not impact the Company's listing
on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the Company's common stock
continued to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the
symbol "PSUN."

NASDAQ explained in the First Notification Letter that, under
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company would be afforded
180 calendar days, or until February 29, 2016, to regain compliance
with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid
price of the Company's common stock must have met or exceeded $1.00
per share for at least 10 consecutive business days during that
180-day period. If the Company did not regain compliance by
February 29, 2016, then NASDAQ would provide written notification
to the Company that the Company's common stock would be subject to
delisting from the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

On March 1, 2016, the Company received a second letter from NASDAQ
notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with the
Bid Price Rule during the foregoing 180-day period and that the
Company's common stock was subject to delisting from the NASDAQ
Global Select Market unless the Company requests an appeal of the
determination on or before March 8, 2016.  The Company appealed the
determination to the NASDAQ Hearings Panel on such date.  The
Appeal automatically stayed delisting of the Company's common stock
pending the Panel's decision.

Upon filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 7, 2016, the Company
received a letter from NASDAQ notifying it that such filing served
as an additional basis for delisting of the Company's common stock.


On April 12, 2016, the Company notified NASDAQ that it was
withdrawing the Appeal. As a result, the Company's common stock was
delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market at the open of the
market on April 14, 2016, and was slated to begin trading in the
over-the-counter market. The Company's common stock is quoted under
the symbol "PSUNQ".

POPEXPERT INC: Meeting to Form Creditors' Panel Set for April 22
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tracy Hope Davis, Acting United States Trustee for Region 17, will
hold an organizational meeting on April 22, 2016, at 9:30 a.m. in
the bankruptcy case of PopExpert, Inc.

The meeting will be held at:

         Office of the United States Trustee
         235 Pine Street, Suite 850
         San Francisco, CA 94104

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

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

To increase participation in the Chapter 11 proceeding, Section
1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the United States Trustee
appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as practicable.
The Committee ordinarily consists of the persons, willing to serve,
that hold the seven largest unsecured claims against the debtor of
the kinds represented on the committee.

Section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the Committee may
consult with the debtor, investigate the debtor and its business
operations and participate in the formulation of a plan of
reorganization.  The Committee may also perform other services as
are in the interests of the unsecured creditors whom it represents.


PRESCOTT VALLEY: Time to Decide on Leases Extended to Sept. 30
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Madeleine C. Wanslee of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona granted Prescott Valley Events Center, LLC's
second motion to extend deadline to assume or reject unexpired
non-residential real property leases to and including September 30,
2016.

Specifically, the Debtor seeks an order extending the deadline by
which it must assume or reject (1) the Lease Agreement by and
between the Entertainment Center Community Facilities District as
lessor, and the Debtor as lessee, dated December 21, 2006, and (2)
the Prescott Valley Event Center Parking Access Agreement by and
between Prescott Valley Signature Entertainment, L.L.C. and the
Debtor dated October 2, 2006.

               About Prescott Valley Events Center

Prescott Valley Events Center, LLC, was formed in 2005 to construct
and operate a multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena known as
the Prescott Valley Events Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona.  The
Center opened in 2006 and plays host to concerts, community events,
trades shows, and sporting events, including several high school
championships.  Until 2014, the Center served as the home of the
Arizona Sundogs (CHL) ice hockey team.  The Center's seating
capacity is 6,200 for concerts, 4,810 for hockey, and 5,100 for
basketball.

The original members of PVEC were Prescott Valley Signature
Entertainment, LLC, and Global Entertainment Corporation, which
each owned 50 percent of the membership interests in PVEC.

PVEC sought Chapter 11 protection in Prescott, Arizona (Bankr.
D.Ariz. Case No. 15-10356) on Aug. 14, 2015.  The case is assigned
to Judge Madeleine C. Wanslee.

The Debtor tapped Carolyn J. Johnsen, Esq., and William Novotny,
Esq., at Dickinson Wright PLLC, in Phoenix, as counsel.

The Debtor estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and $50
million to $100 million in debt.


R. SCOTT APPLING: Ch. 7 Debtor Must Pay Debt Owed to Law Firm
-------------------------------------------------------------
Diane Davis, writing for Bloomberg Brief, reported that a state
court judgment for unpaid legal fees can't be discharged in R.
Scott Appling's Chapter 7 bankruptcy because the debtor made false
misrepresentations to counsel about his financial condition and the
amount of his anticipated tax refund, a district court in Georgia
held March 28.

According to the report, Judge C. Ashley Royal of the U.S. District
Court for the Middle District of Georgia affirmed the judgment of
the bankruptcy court, and concluded that the bankruptcy court
correctly adopted the Fifth Circuit's strict interpretation of 11
U.S.C. Sec. 523(a)(2)(A)'s exception to discharge for false and
misleading statements.

The court noted that several courts have held that Section
523(a)(2) doesn't impose a "new money" requirement on claims
arising out of secondary debt transactions, the report related.
Thus, a false representation in connection with a renewal or
refinancing of credit may render the entire debt nondischargeable
even if the creditor didn't lend new money in reliance on the false
statement, the court said, the report further related.

In this case, the appellant/debtor became delinquent on payments
and the appellee forbore from collecting the overdue amounts in
reliance on the appellant/debtor's false statement, the court said,
the report added.  This forbearance was an extension of credit and
the entire debt is nondischargeable, the court concluded.

Daniel Lewis Wilder, Macon, Ga., represented appellant/debtor R.
Scott Appling; David W. Davenport, Atlanta, Ga., represented
appellee Lamar, Archer & Cofrin, LLP.


RCR CAR CARE: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee
------------------------------------------------------
The Office of the U.S. Trustee disclosed in a court filing that no
official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the
Chapter 11 case of RCR Car Care, LLC.

RCR Car Care, LLC, sought protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. E.D.N.Y., Case No. 16-71074) on March 14,
2016. The Debtor is represented by Heath S Berger, Esq., at Berger,
Fischoff & Shumer, LLP.



RCS CAPITAL: Court OKs Joint Administration of Additional Cases
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware directed the
supplemental joint administration of the Chapter 11 cases of:

   -- Cetera Advusir Netwroks Insurance Services LLC;
   -- Cetera Advisors Insurance Servics LLC;
   -- Cetera Financial Group Inc.;
   -- Cetera Financial Holding, Inc.;
   -- Cetera Financial Specialists Services LLC;
   -- Cetera Insurance Agency LLC;
   -- Chargers Acquisition, LLC;
   -- FAS Holdings, Inc.;
   -- First Allied Holdings Inc.;
   -- ICC Insurance Agency, Inc.;
   -- Investors Capital Holdings LLC;
   -- Legend Group Holings, LLC;
   -- SBS Financial Advisors, Inc.;
   -- SBS Insurance Agency of Florida, Inc.;
   -- SBS of California Insurance Agency, Inc.;
   -- Summit Capital Group, Inc.;
   -- Summit Financial Group, Inc.;
   -- Summit Holding Group, Inc.; and
   -- VSR Group, LLC

with previously Court-aproved joint administration of the Chapter
11 cases of RCS Capital Corporation, et al., for procedural
purposes only.  Cases will be jointly administered under the
Chapter 11 case no. 16-10223.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 3, 2016, the
Debtors also requested that the Clerk of the Court maintain one
file and one docket for all of their Chapter 11 cases, which file
and docket will be the file and docket for Debtor RCS Capital
Corporation.

According to the Debtors, joint administration of their respective
estates is warranted and will ease the administrative burden on the
Court and all parties-in-interest.  In addition, the Debtors
maintain, joint administration will permit the Clerk of the Court
to utilize a single docket for all of the Chapter 11 cases, and to
combine notices to creditors and other parties-in-interest in their
respective cases.

"Because there will likely be numerous motions, applications, and
other pleadings filed in these cases that will affect all of the
Debtors, joint administration will permit counsel for all parties
in interest to include all of the Debtors' cases in a single
caption for the numerous documents that are likely to be filed and
served in these cases," said Ian J. Bambrick, Esq., at Young
Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, counsel for the Debtors.

Mr. Bambrick added that joint administration will not prejudice or
adversely affect the rights of the Debtors' creditors because the
relief sought is purely procedural and is not intended to affect
substantive rights.

On Feb. 25, 2016 Republic Airways Holdings Inc. and 6 affiliated

of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.   The

REPUBLIC AIRWAYS: Unsecureds to See Less Than 50% Recovery
----------------------------------------------------------
Mary Schlangenstein, writing for Bloomberg Brief, reported that in
a letter sent to the U.S. Trustee, Republic Airways Holdings Inc.
said its unsecured creditors are likely to recover less than 50
cents on the dollar in bankruptcy, and stockholders should expect
nothing at all.

According to the report, the letter said the pool of money
available to pay creditors will be no greater than $275 million to
$350 million and could be reduced by at least $100 million Republic
will need to exit Chapter 11.  Unsecured creditor recoveries also
depend on Republic successfully restructuring as much as $1 billion
in debt, the report related, citing the airline.

"In light of those numbers, unsecured creditors are faced with the
prospect of recovering potentially well less than 50 cents on every
$1 of claims, and equity holders will therefore receive no
distributions," according to the April 4 letter, which was included
in a regulatory filing, the report further related.

Republic wrote to ask the U.S. Trustee to reject requests to
appoint an official committee to represent shareholder interests in
its bankruptcy, the report said.  A panel would burden Republic
with "substantial and duplicative costs and expenses," the airline
said, the report added.

Terraces of Roseville, a senior housing community located in

                  About Roseville Senior Living

Roseville Senior Living Properties, LLC, owns and operates a

It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No.
13-31198) on Sept. 27, 2013, in Newark, New Jersey.

The petition was signed by Michael Edrel.  Edrel is the managing
director of Meecorp Capital Markets, LLC, the manager o f the
Debtor.

Walter J. Greenhalgh, Esq., at Duane Morris, LLP, represents
Roseville Senior Living Properties as counsel.  Friedman LLP serves
as the Debtor's accountant.

Roseville Senior Living Properties estimated $10 million to $50
million in assets, and $1 million to $10 million in liabilities.

RWL INVESTMENTS: Banks Oppose Cash Collateral Use
-------------------------------------------------
Creditors First Security Bank, U.S. Bank National Association,
Eagle Bank & Trust Company, BancorpSouth Bank, and Centennial Bank
object to RWL Investments, LLC's proposed use of cash collateral.

According to the creditors, they object to the Debtor's use of the
cash collateral on the terms proposed in the Motion -- to use all
cash from rents or leases on the Mortgaged Property without any
payment to its Creditors from March of 2016 through August of 2016.
The creditors assert that this portion of the Cash Collateral is
not property of the estate as this was absolutely assigned by the
Debtor to the Creditors pre-petition.

Furthermore, the Creditors complain that the Cash Collateral budget
does not identify the actual rentals being received by the Debtor
during the proposed period and how those rentals relate to the
mortgaged properties or any realistic projections, since there is
no disclosure about the terms and conditions underlying leases
which generates the "rental income."  To the extent the underlying
leases may be expense bearing leases, then there is a question as
to what the "maintenance/repairs" and the "utilities" categories
cover considering that the cash collateral budget does not state
whether there are other sources of funds for the Debtor during the
six month period, the Creditors added.

The Creditors ask the Court to deny the Debtor's Motion in full,
or, in the alternative, enter an interim order (a) shortening the
period in which Debtor does not have to make payments to Creditors,
(b) denying payment to the Lazenby Law Firm, PLLC, (c) requiring
any other attorney/account fees be approved by this Court in
advance prior to payment from cash collateral, (d) requiring the
Debtor to use rents generated by the Property only for the staffing
expenses, operating expenses, maintenance expenses, maintenance
expenses, and administrative expenses solely to those Properties
that are subject of lease/rents which generate the rental income,
and (e) imposing such other requirements that are reasonably
appropriate and necessary to provide the Creditors adequate
protection of its interest in the cash collateral.

SABINE OIL: Creditors' Committee Appeal Ruling on Merger Claims
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tiffany Kary, writing for Bloomberg Brief, reported that Sabine Oil
& Gas Corp.'s official creditors committee said it's appealing a
bankruptcy court ruling that it lacks standing to sue over a 2014
merger with Forest Oil.

According to the report, after a 15-day trial, a judge ruled
creditors lacked standing to pursue claims, including those to
avoid $1.32 billion, saying the cost of litigation would outweigh
the benefit to the estate.  Sabine filed an updated reorganization
proposal March 31 based on the finding, the report related.

Creditors said in court filings April 5 that they will appeal and
that court should temporarily halt any language in the plan to
dispose of the claims, the report further related.

As previously reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the
official committee of unsecured creditors sought Court approval to
prosecute claims on behalf of Sabine Oil & Gas Corp.    

The energy company had earlier opposed the motion, saying the
claims are "neither colorable nor in the best interests" of the
estate to pursue.  

The same argument was echoed by Duane Radtke and two other
directors of Sabine Oil & Gas LLC who said the committee's claim
against them for breach of fiduciary duty is not colorable.

Sabine also had earlier asked the court to preclude the committee
from presenting the opinions of its valuation expert Steven Zelin
in connection with the motion, and to allow the company's own
financial expert to testify.

Mr. Zelin's opinions, the company said, are based on "untested and
unreliable assumptions."   

Meanwhile, the committee had drawn support from former Sabine
executives who think it "has more than satisfied its burden" to
prove that the claims are colorable.

Colorado-based law firm Holland & Hart LLP represents the group.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Shelley Chapman will issue a bench ruling on
the committee's motion at the March 24 hearing.  

A separate motion filed by Wilmington Savings Fund Society FSB and
Delaware Trust Co. to get authority to prosecute constructive
fraud
claims on behalf of Sabine's estate will also be considered for
approval at the hearing.

Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, in connection with the
Company's emergence from bankruptcy, the Company's amended and
restated employment agreements with Eric A. Rose, (the Company's
Chief Executive Officer), Daniel J. Luckshire (the Company's
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) and Dennis E.
Hruby (the Company's Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer)
became effective. These employment agreements supersede any

Pursuant to the amended and restated employment agreement with Dr.

occurrence of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the
employment agreements for each of Dr. Rose, Mr. Luckshire, Dr.

additional discretionary amounts shall be disregarded when
calculating the amount of any automatic increase in Dr. Rose's base
salary; provided that, no such additional discretionary increase

annual cash bonus, the target of which is 100% of his base salary.
In the event of a Change of Control, Dr. Rose shall receive an
annual cash bonus for the year in which the Change of Control
occurs equal to the greater of (i) the target annual bonus for such

Rose remains employed on the last day of such calendar year. The
term of his employment, pursuant to the Rose Agreement, expires at
the end of the one (1) year anniversary from when the agreement
becomes effective and will automatically renew for additional one
(1) year periods unless notice of non-renewal is given; provided,
however, that the agreement shall not automatically renew upon the
expiration of any subsequent term that ends following the third
(3rd) anniversary of the occurrence of a Change of Control.

Pursuant to the Rose Agreement, the following termination and
change in control-related circumstances would trigger payments or
the provision of other benefits:

               * Termination by the Company without cause or by Dr.
Rose for good reason.

               * Termination by the Company without cause or by Dr.
Rose for good reason in the period that begins 90 days prior to the

for one (1) year; (vi) the payment of any accrued but unpaid annual
bonuses with respect to the prior full calendar year; and (vii) the
Company shall take all such action as is necessary such that all
stock options and other stock-based grants, excluding any equity
grants that may be awarded after the judgment in our PharmAthene
litigation ("PharmAthene Judgment") is satisfied under the Plan in
the event the PharmAthene Judgment is satisfied by delivery to
PharmAthene of one hundred percent (100%) of the Company's equity,
shall, immediately and irrevocably vest and, to the extent
applicable, become exercisable as of the date of termination and
shall remain exercisable for a period of not less than one (1) year
from the date of termination, or, if earlier, the expiration of the
term of such equity award.

If the Rose Agreement is terminated during the Change of Control
Period other than for cause or if Dr. Rose terminates his
employment during the Change of Control Period, for good reason, he
will be entitled to the following: (i) any accrued but unpaid
salary for services rendered through the date of termination; (ii)

vest and, to the extent applicable, become exercisable as of the
date of termination and shall remain exercisable for a period of
not less than one (1) year from the date of termination, or, if
earlier, the expiration of the term of such equity award.

disability, for cause or if he voluntarily terminates his
employment without good reason, he (or his estate or beneficiaries)
will be entitled to the following: (i) any accrued but unpaid
salary for services rendered through the date of termination; (ii)
any vacation accrued to the date of termination, in accordance with

year as determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith and
payable in cash in accordance with his employment agreement.

January 1, 2017 and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the
occurrence of a Change of Control. The Compensation Committee of
the Company may increase Ms. Abrams' base salary by additional
discretionary amounts but any such additional discretionary amounts
shall be disregarded when calculating the amount of any automatic
increase in Ms. Abrams' base salary; provided that, no such
additional discretionary increase shall be implemented prior to the

               * Prepetition unsecured claims (other than
PharmAthene's claim) will be paid in cash in full.

               * Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, ownership of
existing shares of SIGA's common stock remained unaltered by the
Plan; however, existing shares will be subject to potential future
cancellation (without receipt of any consideration) in the event
that PharmAthene's claim is satisfied though the issuance of newly
issued shares of SIGA stock (option (ii)).

               * Commencing on March 23, 2016, the date of the
Delaware Court of Chancery final order and judgment, SIGA has 120
days (subject to a possible 90 day extension) to select one of the

SITEONE LANDSCAPE: Moody's Assigns B1 CFR, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 Corporate Family Rating and
a B1-PD Probability of Default Rating to SiteOne Landscape Supply
Holding, LLC, and a B2 rating to the company's proposed $250
million first lien senior secured term loan due 2022.  The rating
outlook is stable.

SiteOne's proposed recapitalization transaction includes a $250
million first lien term loan offering due 2022, the proceeds of
which will be used to fund a $176 million distribution to the
company's existing shareholders, and to repay $61 million of its
existing term loan expiring in 2019 and $5 million of outstanding
borrowings under its $325 million ABL revolving credit facility due
2020.  Approximately $153 million of revolver borrowings will
remain outstanding.

According to Moody's Analyst Natalia Gluschuk, "SiteOne's debt
leverage is relatively high and management is acquisitive, but the
B1 CFR derives support from our expectation that favorable
residential and commercial end market trends will drive organic
growth over the next 12 to 18 months."

These rating actions have been taken:

Issuer: SiteOne Landscape Supply Holding, LLC:

  Corporate Family Rating, assigned a B1;
  Probability of Default Rating, assigned a B1-PD;

Issuers: SiteOne Landscape Supply Holding, LLC and SiteOne
Landscape Supply, LLC (as co-borrowers):

  Proposed $250 million first lien senior secured term loan due
   2022, assigned a B2 (LGD4);

The rating outlook is stable.

All ratings are subject to the execution of the transaction as
currently proposed and Moody's review of final documentation.  The
instrument ratings are subject to change if the proposed capital
structure is modified.

                        RATINGS RATIONALE

The B1 CFR reflects SiteOne's relatively high debt leverage, thin
operating margins, which are common to companies in the
distribution business, aggressive financial policies, including a
shareholder distribution that will be part of the proposed
transaction, as well as long-term risks associated with potential
shareholder-friendly actions given the private equity ownership.
The company's debt-to-EBITDA (Moody's-adjusted) pro forma for the
proposed transaction is estimated at approximately 3.8x and EBITDA
less capex to interest at approximately 3.5x.  The rating reflects
Moody's expectations that these credit metrics will be sustained at
similar levels over the intermediate term, even while the company
grows through acquisitions.  The company's acquisitive growth
strategy could result in higher debt levels, integration
challenges, or present risks associated with acquired businesses
performing below expectations.  The rating also incorporates the
company's exposure to cyclical end markets and the associated
revenue and earnings vulnerability to cyclical declines.  However,
the rating is supported by favorable end market conditions, the
recurring nature of SiteOne's landscape services, the lower
cyclicality of its maintenance and repair work, the company's
national presence, its breadth of product and service offering, and
its diverse customer and supplier base.

The B2 rating on the company's proposed first lien term loan
reflects its less advantaged position in the capital structure
relative to a meaningfully large ABL revolving credit facility that
has a first priority security interest in current assets.

The stable rating outlook reflects favorable trends in the
company's residential and commercial end markets that will drive
solid revenue and earnings growth over the next 12 to 18 months as
the company pursues growth strategies while maintaining leverage
below 4.0x.

The company has an adequate liquidity profile, supported by the
flexibility of the springing financial covenant under its ABL
credit agreement and an extended debt maturity profile, as well as
by the available capacity under its $325 million ABL revolving
credit facility, although it varies seasonally and due to
utilization for acquisitions.  Liquidity, is constrained by the
seasonality of the company's operations, which results in negative
free cash flows during seasonally weaker quarters, as well as by
relatively low cash balances.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company exercises more
conservative financial policies as relates to distributions and
debt-financed acquisitions, maintains organic revenue growth at
stable operating margins, and sustains adjusted debt to EBITDA
comfortably below 3.0x including during periods of growth through
acquisitions.  Additionally, the company would need to maintain a
good liquidity profile, including robust positive free cash flow
generation.

The ratings could be pressured downward if the company experiences
end market weakness and declines in revenues and operating margins,
resulting in adjusted debt to EBITDA approaching 5.0x or EBITDA
less capex to interest coverage declining below 2.0x. A significant
debt-financed acquisition or a shareholder distribution,
acquisition integration challenges, or a weakening in liquidity,
including due to negative free cash flow generation, could also
pressure the ratings.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Distribution &
Supply Chain Services Industry published in December 2015.

SiteOne, headquartered in Roswell, Georgia and formerly known as
John Deere Landscapes, is a national wholesale distributor of
landscaping supplies in the U.S. and Canada.  The company offers
approximately 90,000 SKUs, including irrigation supplies, landscape
accessories, fertilized and nursery products, hardscapes, and
maintenance supplies.  Its customers include residential and
commercial landscape professionals.  The company is owned by
Clayton Dubilier & Rice and Deere & Company.  In 2015, SiteOne
generated approximately $1.45 billion in revenues.


STALLION OILFIELD: Moody's Lowers CFR to Caa3, Outlook Negative
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Stallion Oilfield Holding
Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating to Caa3 from Caa1, its Probability
of Default Rating to Caa3-PD/LD from Caa2-PD, and it senior secured
rating to Caa3 from Caa1.  The ratings outlook is negative.

The Probability of Default Rating downgrade stems from Stallion's
disclosure that it has repurchased $47 million of its senior
secured term loan $26.8 million in cash at an average price of 57%
of par.  Moody's considers Stallion's repurchase of its term loan
at a deep discount to par as a distressed exchange, which we view
as a default.  As noted above, Moody's appended the Caa3-PD PDR
with an "/LD" designation indicating limited default, which will be
removed three business days thereafter.

"The downgrade of Stallion's CFR and issue ratings reflects the
company's poor cash flow metrics and potentially unsustainable
capital structure," noted John Thieroff, Moody's Vice President.
"The company's announcement that it has retained Akin Gump Strauss
Hauer & Feld LLP to assist it with a review of its strategic
alternatives, combined with a prolonged period of low commodity
prices that has compounded the effect of the company's high
interest burden and weak demand, heightens the risk of further debt
restructuring."

Issuer: Stallion Oilfield Holdings, Inc.

Ratings Downgraded:

  Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Caa3 from Caa1
  Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to Caa3-PD/LD from
   Caa2-PD
  Senior Secured Term Loan Rating, Downgraded to Caa3 (LGD4) from
   Caa1 (LGD3)

Outlook Actions:
  Outlook, Remains Negative

                         RATINGS RATIONALE

Stallion's Caa3 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's
relatively small size in the oilfield services sector, with
exposure to the highly cyclical onshore drilling activity in the US
and low barriers to entry in its workforce accommodations space.
The rating also reflects Stallion's weak cash flow generation,
driven by sharply reduced demand from upstream exploration &
production (E&P) companies, and elevated financial leverage.  The
current operating environment in which crude oil prices have fallen
sharply is expected to weigh negatively on Stallion's operational
results as exploration and production (E&P) companies continue to
cut back on capital spending levels.  As such, Moody's expects
Stallion to experience substantially weaker EBITDA and weaker
financial leverage metrics into 2018, likely leading to additional
debt restructuring.

As a result of steep declines in utilization rates and the pricing
of Stallions services, Moody's expects EBITDA to fall to break-even
levels, perhaps lower.  Given Moody's expectation for continued
weak oil and natural gas prices through at least 2017, wellsite
service and accommodation demand is likely to remain poor with
material cash flow improvement unlikely before 2018.  Moody's
anticipates Stallion being unable to cover debt service with cash
flow during that period, relying on cash on the balance sheet ($47
million at Dec. 31, 2015, pro forma completion of the term loan
buyback) to cover these obligations along with maintenance level
capital spending.

Moody's views Stallion as having weak liquidity profile through
early 2017, with $47 million in cash and $6.8 million available
under its $50 million asset-based loan (ABL) facility (net of $5.8
million outstanding letters of credit) as of Dec. 31, 2015.  The
facility was undrawn at year-end 2015, however, it is governed by a
springing minimum fixed charge covenant that triggers when
availability is less than $12.5 million.  While Moody's expects
Stallion will not be able to comply with the covenant through early
2017, the company is not expected to utilize the facility to the
extent the covenant would become effective.  The ABL facility and
the company's $375 million term loan both mature in June 2018. The
term loan does have an excess cash flow sweep and $3.75 million in
annual amortization requirements.  Moody's do not expect the
company to generate meaningful levels of cash flow in 2016 or 2017,
given our assumption of continued low oil and gas prices through
the period.

The ABL credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien claim
on Stallion's accounts receivable, inventory, and deposit accounts.
The company's $375 million senior secured term loan has a
first-priority security interest on substantially all of Stallion's
property, plant, and equipment assets, as well as in all of the
capital stock and other equity interests of the company's guarantor
subsidiaries that are not encumbered by the ABL.  Given the
relative size of the revolver and the absence of more junior debt
in the company's capital structure, the term loan's rating is the
same as the Caa3 CFR under Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology.

The negative outlook reflects our expectation that credit metrics
will remain weak over the next 12 to 18 months as a result of
depressed upstream capital spending as well as Stallion's
heightened risk of debt restructuring or a bankruptcy filing.
Ratings could be downgraded if the company's liquidity falls below
$20 million, undertakes a debt restructuring or files for
bankruptcy protection.  While unlikely, an upgrade could be
considered if Stallion improves interest coverage to above 1.2x,
leverage is reduced to under 6x for a sustained period while
maintaining adequate liquidity.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Oilfield
Services Industry Rating Methodology published in December 2014.

Stallion Oilfield Holdings, Inc. is a private oilfield services
company that provides auxiliary services to operators and downhole
service providers in the oil and gas industry.  The company
primarily services onshore activities in the US and operates across
many of the principal domestic oil and gas producing plays, such as
South Texas, Ark-La-Tex, the Gulf Coast, the Bakken, the Permian,
the Mid-Continent, the Rocky Mountains region, Alaska's North Slope
and offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.



STAPLES INC: Fitch Cuts LT Issuer Default Rating to 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the Long-term Issuer Default Rating
(IDR) for Staples, Inc. (Staples) to 'BB+' from 'BBB-' and the
Short-term IDR to 'B' from 'F3'. The ratings remain on Rating Watch
Negative pending outcome of the Office Depot acquisition process.
Should the acquisition close, Fitch would expect to rate Staples
within the mid to high 'BB' category.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Standalone Business Expected to Be Flat at Best

The downgrade reflects continued secular headwinds and competitive
challenges in the office products category, which have pressured
EBITDA since 2012. On a standalone basis, Fitch views Staples as
having limited ability to reverse declines in sales and EBITDA over
the forecast horizon, especially given the heightened threat from
new entrants in the contract stationer business.

Staples has fought a number of challenges in recent years,
including both secular headwinds and strengthened competition. The
ongoing digitalization of the workplace has negatively impacted
sales of core office supplies, ink/toner and paper, which represent
around half of Staples volume. Sales of technology products
(approximately 20% of sales) have been weak due to a slowing
replacement cycle and saturation of key products such as laptops
and tablets. Fitch expects both of these headwinds to continue over
the forecast horizon.

As sales shift online across many retail categories, new
competitors have emerged in the office products category,
pressuring in-store sales across the industry. Since 2012, Staples'
North American retail sales are down approximately 25% (recently
exacerbated by the weak Canadian dollar) and margins of the
combined retail/Staples.com business have contracted from 8.3% to
4.5%. As a result, EBITDA contribution has declined nearly 50% from
$1.2 billion (57% of total) in 2012 to $650 million (45% of total)
in 2015.

Amazon has begun a significant push into office products sales to
contract customers, which will limit market share opportunities for
existing players. Sales and EBITDA to contract customers have been
fairly stable for the last few years underpinning the 'BBB-',
rating but Fitch expects Staples' competitive positioning on a
standalone basis could weaken over time.

In addition to the proposed acquisition of Office Depot, Staples
has undertaken a number of initiatives to combat these challenges.
First, the company has significantly reduced its North American
store base by around 300 units to an expected 1,560 by the end of
2016. Second, the company has refocused selling efforts around
categories including breakroom and janitorial supplies, which are
seeing less secular pressure. Finally, the company has managed its
cost structure through the removal of over $750 million in expenses
over the last three years.

While these efforts have mitigated secular pressures, Staples'
sales and EBITDA have declined each year from their respective
peaks in 2011 of $25 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. In
2015, sales of $21 billion and EBITDA of $1.4 billion were both 6%
below 2014 levels, with EBITDA margin falling to 6.7% from the 2011
peak of 9%. Fitch believes medium-term EBITDA will remain flat at
best, likely within the $1.2-$1.4 billion range, as industry
challenges persist.

Given the above EBITDA expectations, adjusted leverage is expected
to trend in the 3.2 - 3.4x range over the forecast horizon, which
Fitch views as representative of a 'BB+' rating for a secularly
challenged retailer.

Combined Business Would be Stronger but Highly Levered

The Rating Watch Negative on Staples reflects the uncertain outcome
of the acquisition process of Office Depot, which would increase
pro forma leverage to near 5.0x upon consummation given $4.25
billion of incremental debt issued for Office Depot shares. The
incremental debt will include a $2.5 billion term loan and $1.75
billion drawn on the company's new $3 billion revolver. This is a
slight change in mix from prior expectations of a $2.75 billion
term loan and $1.5 billion drawn on the revolver.

Should the acquisition close, Fitch would expect to rate Staples
within the mid to high 'BB' category, depending on asset
dispositions and updated views on timing of synergies and debt
reduction. Staples ability to maintain the current 'BB+' rating
would require Fitch to be comfortable with the company's ability to
reduce leverage below 3.5x within 36 months following the close of
the acquisition.

Pro forma for the Office Depot acquisition, Staples had EBITDA of
approximately $2.2 billion in 2015, unadjusted for any disposals
required to consummate the transaction. Assuming Staples realizes
50%-70% of the planned $1 billion in net synergies within three
years of the transaction close, EBITDA is expected to be in the
range of $2.6 - $2.8 billion vs. $2.2 billion pro forma 2015
EBITDA. Adjusted leverage could decline from close to 5.0x pro
forma toward the mid-to-high 3.0x range within 36 months from
transaction close, assuming FCF is used towards debt reduction.

The 'BBB-' ratings of the bank facilities reflects their senior
secured position in the capital structure. The ABL revolver is
secured by a first lien on receivables and inventories and a second
lien on the term loan priority collateral. The term loan is secured
by property and equipment, intellectual property, and equity
interests in restricted subsidiaries, and a second lien on the ABL
priority collateral. Both facilities would be expected to receive a
full recovery, resulting in an 'RR1' Recovery Rating with the
ratings capped at 'BBB-' in accordance with Fitch's criteria given
the expectation that Staples' IDR would be 'BB' or 'BB+'.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Standalone Staples:

-- Fitch expects flattish annual sales around $20 billion over
    the forecast horizon, with EBITDA ranging between $1.2 - $1.4
    billion on modest margin declines.
-- Projected free cash flow after dividends (FCF) of $300 million

    in 2016 will be used for merger-related debt issuance expenses

    of $100 - $150 million and merger breakup fees of $250
    million. FCF is expected to remain in the $300 million range
    annually and could be used to restart the company's share
    buyback program.
-- Adjusted leverage is expected to remain in the 3.2x-3.4x
    range.

Combined Staples/Office Depot Entity:

-- Sales are expected to be close to pro forma levels of around
    $35 billion over the forecast horizon, assuming no further
    divestitures are required.
-- Assuming Staples realizes 50%-70% of the planned $1 billion in

    net synergies within three years of the transaction close,
    EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $2.6 - $2.8 billion
    vs. $2.2 billion pro forma EBITDA in 2015.
-- FCF is expected to grow from $700 million in 2017 to $1
    billion by 2019, depending on timing of restructuring charges.

    Fitch expects Staples to use FCF for debt reduction. As a
    result, adjusted leverage could decline from close to 5.0x pro

    forma toward the mid-to-high 3.0x range within 36 months from
    transaction close.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Fitch would expect to rate Staples' IDR in the mid to high 'BB'
category assuming the merger closes. Staples ability to maintain
the current 'BB+' rating would require Fitch to be comfortable with
the company's ability to reduce leverage below 3.5x within 36
months following the close of the acquisition.

If the merger is terminated, future developments that may,
individually or collectively, lead to a negative rating action
include continued negative sales and margin trends and declines in
EBITDA that drive adjusted leverage above the mid-3x range.

Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to
a positive rating action include a stabilization of top-line
trends, the resumption of positive EBITDA momentum, and maintenance
of adjusted debt/EBITDAR at or under 3x.

LIQUIDITY

The company had adequate liquidity at Jan. 30, 2015, comprised of
$825 million in cash and full availability on its $1 billion
revolving credit facility.

FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS

Fitch has downgraded the following ratings:

Staples, Inc.
-- Long-term IDR to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
-- $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility to 'BB+/RR4'
    from 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured notes to 'BB+/RR4' from 'BBB-';
-- Short-term IDR to 'B' from 'F3';
-- Commercial paper to 'B' from 'F3'.

The ratings remain Rating Watch Negative. Given the Watch is
related to a merger, Fitch would review the company at the earlier
of the close of the merger process or 12 months.

In addition, Fitch has affirmed the following ratings:

-- $3 billion secured revolving credit facility at 'BBB-/RR1';
-- $2.5 billion secured term loan at 'BBB-/RR1'.



STARR PASS: Files Rule 2015.3 Periodic Report
---------------------------------------------
Starr Pass Residential LLC filed a report with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Arizona disclosing that it holds 100% stake in Star Pass
Realty LLC as of Jan. 1, 2016.

                   About Starr Pass Residential

Starr Pass Residential LLC filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition
(Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 14-09117) on June 12, 2014.  Christopher
Ansley signed the petition as authorized officer.  Gust Rosenfeld,
P.L.C., serves as the Debtor's counsel.  The Debtor disclosed total
assets of $7.40 million and liabilities of $146 million.

The bankruptcy case was reassigned to Judge Eileen W. Hollowell
because Judge Brenda Moody Whinery recused herself from hearing any
matter on the Chapter 11 proceeding.

                            *    *    *

The U.S. Trustee for Region 14 informed the Bankruptcy Court that
it was unable to appoint creditors form the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors for the Chapter 11 case of Starr Pass
Residential LLC because an insufficient number of persons holding
unsecured claims against the Debtor have expressed interest in
serving on a committee.


STATION CASINOS: S&P Puts 'B' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it placed all ratings,
including its 'B' corporate credit rating, on Las Vegas-based
Station Casinos LLC (Station) on CreditWatch with positive
implications.

"The CreditWatch listing reflects our opinion that a successful IPO
would reduce the risk that Station would incur additional leverage
to buy out minority equity holders, including affiliates of
Deutsche Bank, as an IPO would provide these holders with an
alternative path to sell down their ownership over time," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Stephen Pagano.

Red Rock Resorts, which will be the ultimate parent of Station
Casinos LLC, plans to raise approximately $496 million (assuming it
sells approximately 27 million shares at the midpoint of the price
range assumed in the filing and excluding the underwriters option
to buy additional shares) in the IPO.

In resolving the CreditWatch listing, S&P will monitor the
company's progress in completing the IPO.  In the event the company
successfully completes its IPO as outlined, S&P will likely raise
the corporate credit rating two notches to 'BB-' and all
issue-level ratings two notches in line with the corporate credit
rating upgrade.  S&P expects to resolve the CreditWatch listing
within the next several weeks.



SWIFT ENERGY: Kor Ferry Approved as Executive Search Advisors
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Mary F. Walrath of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware authorized Swift Energy Company, et al., to
employ Kor Ferry International, Inc., as executive search advisors,
nunc pro tunc to Feb. 2, 2016.

Korn Ferry will provide executive search services as the Debtors
deem appropriate and feasible in the course of the cases,
including, but not limited to:

   a) identify qualified candidates based on defined criteria;
   b) screen and interview candidates;
   c) present Swift with information on the best-qualified
candidates;
   d) conduct reference checks on successful candidates; and
   e) facilitate offer negotiations.

The services to be provided by Korn Ferry to the Debtors, which are
specialized in nature, will not be duplicative of those provided by
any of the Debtors' other professionals, and Korn Ferry will
coordinate any services performed at the Debtors' request with the
Debtors' professionals, including financial advisors and counsel,
as appropriate, to avoid duplication of effort.

The Debtor is authorized to pay fees and reimburse expenses.  The
Debtors have agreed to pay Korn Ferry under the fee and expense
structure (the "Fee Structure"):

   a) Korn Ferry's placement fees will be fixed at $275,000 for the
Non-Executive Chairman and $100,000 for each board seat.

   b) Korn Ferry will bill the Debtors a one-time, non-contingent
and non-refundable creditable retainer of $150,000.

   c) in addition to their fees, Korn Ferry will also be reimbursed
for all reasonable and necessary administrative support and
research services.  These expenses will be billed and capped at 10%
of the Retainer Fee and billed in installments with
the two Retainer Fee installment payments.

   d) if the Retainer Fee has been fully invoiced prior to the
completion of the assignment, no further fees will be billed until
the engagement has been concluded, but Korn Ferry will continue to
bill direct, out-of-pocket expenses monthly.

   e) at the conclusion of each search assignment, Korn Ferry will
reconcile any outstanding fees, i.e., the difference between the
Retainer Fee and the Aggregate Placement Fees.

   f) in the event, within one year of the anniversary of the
Engagement Letter, that any candidate interviewed in person by
Swift Energy is engaged as an executive of the Debtors, a fixed fee
of $100,000 will be due for each individual hired.

The first installment of the Retainer Fee in the amount of $100,000
is due and payable upon Bankruptcy Court approval of the Engagement
Letter.  Billing for the second installment of the Retainer Fee in
the amount of $50,000 will be rendered 30 days after the date of
entry of the Bankruptcy Court's order approving the Engagement
Letter. The billings are due and payable upon receipt.  Upon
completion of Korn Ferry's engagement, the Aggregate Placement Fees
to be paid shall be reduced by the Retainer Fee paid by the
Debtors.

None of the fess payable to Korn Ferry will contitute a bonus or
fee enhancement under applicable law.

To the best of the Debtors' knowledge, Korn Ferry is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

TEEKAY CORP: Moody's Lowers CFR to B3, on Review for Downgrade
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of Teekay
Corporation: Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2 and senior
unsecured debt rating to Caa1 from B3.  The ratings are under
review for further downgrade.  Moody's also affirmed the
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-4.

Moody's has taken these actions:

Issuer: Teekay Corporation:

  Corporate Family Rating, downgraded to B3 under review for
   downgrade, from B2;

  Senior Unsecured Bond/Debentures due 2020, downgraded to Caa1
   under review for downgrade, from B3;

  Speculative Grade Liquidity rating, affirmed at SGL-4.

  Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Negative

                         RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating downgrades reflect unaddressed upcoming debt maturities
at the Parent and refinancing needs at the operating subsidiaries
(including two master limited partnerships, MLPs) in an environment
of tightening access to the capital markets, which could continue
for some time.  The downgrades also reflect Moody's expectation of
a weaker liquidity profile at Teekay, underpinned by the
lower-than-anticipated cash flows to the Parent (from the MLPs),
due to the impact of depressed underlying energy markets and capex
funding needs, and reducing revolvers at the company's operating
subsidiaries.  Distributions to the Parent are not contractually
required but have provided support to the rating. The prospects of
the near-term recoveries of market values to restore asset coverage
of Parent-level debt closer to historical levels is unlikely.

The review will focus on: (i) Teekay's execution of its
parent-level maturities and near-term group refinancing and capital
plans on a timely basis; (ii) the Parent's liquidity profile and
coverage of its debt obligations; and (iii) the prospects for the
subsidiaries' cash flow generation to support Parent and
consolidated debt reduction, in the face of continued weakness in
the underlying energy markets and meaningful project funding
needs.

The SGL-4 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating reflects Moody's
expectation of a continued weak stand-alone cash flow profile and
reduced financial flexibility of the Parent.  The rating
anticipates more modest cash balances at the Parent and considers
the limited availability under its revolving facility and its
near-term refinancing risks.  Moody's estimates that the Parent's
cash balance has declined since the year-end 2015 level of
approximately $200 million but should cover the nearest debt
maturity of about $70 million (May 2016), if it is not refinanced
prior to its maturity.  However, doing so would further tighten the
Parent's liquidity position and diminish its ability to cover its
G&A expenses and debt service requirements.

Successful execution of the asset disposal strategy such that
Teekay Parent substantially reduces its debt so that Debt to EBITDA
approaches 4.0 times, coupled with an increase in the MLP
distributions to a level that would enable Teekay Parent to
comfortably cover its G&A and debt obligations, could provide
positive ratings momentum.  Moody's foresees no upwards pressure on
the ratings near term.

The ratings could be downgraded if: (i) Moody's expects cash at
Teekay Parent to be meaningfully lower than $200 million on a
sustained basis, or if upcoming debt maturities at the Parent or
the subsidiaries are not refinanced on a timely basis; or (ii)
Parent does not fully transfer or repay the secured debt associated
with each of its vessels upon their disposal; (iii) there is a
suspension or further decline in the cash distributions received by
Parent or an increase in its funded debt; or (iv) if declines in
the market capitalizations of the MLP subsidiaries are sustained,
thereby pressuring the market prices of the Parent's limited or
general partnership units.  Shareholder-friendly actions that
compromise debt-holder interests could also result in a downgrade.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Shipping
Industry published in February 2014.

Teekay Corporation, a Marshall Islands Corporation headquartered in
Bermuda with executive offices in Vancouver Canada, is an
operational leader and project developer in the marine midstream
space.  Through its general partnership interests in two master
limited partnerships (MLPs), Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (NYSE: TGP,
unrated ) and Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (NYSE: TOO, unrated),
its controlling ownership of Teekay Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: TNK,
unrated) and its fleet of directly-owned vessels and offshore
units, Teekay is responsible for managing and operating
consolidated vessel assets with a book value of about $9.4 billion,
comprised of 220 liquefied gas, offshore, and conventional tanker
assets, including vessels on order or under conversion, and
ownership interests in a number of joint ventures. Teekay provides
a comprehensive set of marine services to the world's leading oil
and gas companies.  It and its subsidiaries have common management
and the subsidiaries have conflict committees to assure
transactions between the group's various units are conducted at
arm's length.  The company reported consolidated revenue of
approximately $2.4 billion for the twelve months ended Dec. 31,
2015.


TIMOTHY WRIGHT: Exclusive Solicitation Period Extended to June 30

TRONOX LTD: S&P Lowers CCR to 'B+' on Expected Weaker Performance
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating, on Tronox Ltd. to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  The outlook is
negative.

S&P also lowered its issue-level rating on Tronox's senior secured
debt one notch to 'BB' from 'BB+'.  The recovery rating on the
company's senior secured debt is unchanged at '1', reflecting S&P's
expectation of very high recovery (90%-100%) if a default occurs.
At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's senior unsecured debt to 'B' from 'B+'.  The recovery
rating on the unsecured debt is unchanged at '5', reflecting our
expectation of modest (upper half of the 10%-30% range) recovery if
a default occurs.

"The ratings on Tronox reflect our assessment of the company's
business risk profile as fair and its financial risk profile as
highly leveraged," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sebastian
Pinto-Thomaz.  "We believe the 2015 acquisition of the alkali
chemicals business from FMC Corp. modestly improves the company's
business profile by increasing diversity and providing additional
earnings and cash flow stability, but we continue to assess
Tronox's business risk profile as fair," he continued.

Tronox funded the 2015 transaction entirely with cash, increasing
leverage, and stretching the company's credit measures beyond the
level S&P would expect for an aggressive financial risk profile. At
the time, S&P anticipated a greater improvement in 2016 credit
measures.  Although S&P continues to believe credit measures will
improve in 2016, it do not envisage them improving to levels
appropriate for an aggressive financial risk profile.  S&P expects
credit measures in 2016 will be appropriate for the highly
leveraged financial risk profile, including a funds from operations
(FFO) to total debt ratio below 12%.  S&P assumes that 2016 EBITDA
will be higher than 2015 EBITDA (pro forma for 12 months of the
alkali operation) in S&P's base case because of improved pricing
for titanium dioxide (TiO2), but not as quickly as originally
anticipated.

S&P assumes that operating performance in 2016 will benefit
modestly from recently announced price increases for the company's
key product, TiO2.  Although improvements to pricing could occur in
2016, market conditions remain uncertain, and S&P do not factor
further strengthening into pricing.  S&P's previous assumptions
were for a stronger recovery in the TiO2 markets in 2016, but S&P
is still observing signs of overcapacity and slow demand growth.
Still, recent price increase announcements are early signs of a
possible steady revival of the sector from the lows achieved in
2015.

The negative outlook reflects the risk that Tronox's credit
measures do not improve as much as anticipated over the next two
years.  S&P's assumption is that EBITDA and FFO will improve in
2016 relative to 2015 and continue to improve beyond 2016 as the
company benefits from an uptick in the TiO2 sector in pricing
terms.  S&P believes Tronox's vertical integration will position it
well relative to other competitors in the TiO2 and Alkali segments
over the next 12 months.  S&P believes that the TiO2 market will
continue to be volatile in the future and that TiO2 will remain a
majority contributor to Tronox's EBITDA.  S&P does not assume any
acquisitions and its base case expectations for the next 12 months
are for the adjusted FFO/debt ratio to be below 12%.


VENOCO INC: April 21 Final Hearing on $35MM DIP Financing Request
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware granted, on
an interim basis, Venoco, Inc., et al.'s motion for authority to
obtain postpetition financing, to utilize cash collateral, and
grant adequate protection to prepetition secured parties.

The Debtors have sought authority Court to enter into a senior
secured superpriority non-amortizing delayed draw term loan
facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $35 million with
the debtor-in-possession lenders, which are funds managed by Apollo
Capital Management L.P. or its affiliates.

According to the Debtors, the cash Collateral and proceeds from the
DIP Financing, will be used to (a) fund the day-to-day operation of
the Debtors' businesses; (b) fund the expenses necessary to
preserve the value of their oil and gas assets; (c) pay adequate
protection payments; and (d) fund these Chapter 11 cases.

Wilmington Trust, National Association, serves as administrative
agent under the DIP Agreement.  The DIP Agreement has a scheduled
termination date of Dec. 31, 2016.

Term Loans will bear interest, at the option of Venoco, at one of
the following rates:

  (i) the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, payable monthly in
      arrears; or

(ii) the Applicable Margin plus the current LIBO Rate as quoted
      by the Administrative Agent, adjusted for reserve
      requirements, if any, and subject to customary change of
      circumstance provisions, for interest periods of one, two,
      three or six months, payable at the end of the relevant
      interest period, but in any event at least quarterly;
      provided that the LIBO Rate in respect of Term Loans
      shall be not less than 1.00% per annum.

"Applicable Margin" means (1) 9.00 % per annum, in the case of
Base
Rate loans and (y) 10.00% per annum, in the case of LIBO Rate
loans.

"Base Rate" means the highest of (i) the Administrative Agent's
base rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%
and
(iii) the LIBO Rate for an interest period of one month plus
1.00%,
provided that in no event shall the Base Rate be less than 2.00%.

There will be an additional interest of 2% per annum during the
continuance of an event of default.

The Court will commence a hearing on April 21, 2016, at 10:00 a.m.
(ET), to consider final approval of the Motion.  Objections are due
on April 14, 2016.

VENT ALARM: Court Refuses to Stay Bird Contract Assumption Order
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Mildred Caban Flores of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico denied Bird Group, LLC, and Putnam LAC
Holding, LLC's motion for stay pending appeal of the order
authorizing Vent Alarm Corporation to assume a contract relating to
the Ciudadela Project, a mixed-use residential, retail, office and
parking real estate project.

According to the judge, Bird and Putnam are unlikely to succeed on
appeal because there are no material defaults on the Debtor's part.
Any delay in the projected schedules does not constitute an
incurable non-monetary default because the Debtor may be able to
cure the delay in the course of the construction project, the judge
said.  The Debtor, the judge noted, has provided adequate assurance
through payment and performance bonds as well as a postpetition
financing agreement with United Surety and Indemnity Company.

Moreover, the judge pointed out that a brief review of the
remaining factors reflects that Bird, Putnam and Debtor will be
caused harm if the executory contract is stayed because it will
delay the Debtor and other subcontractor's performance, thus
adversely affecting the entire project's schedule and projected
substantial completion date.

and Order is available at http://bankrupt.com/misc/VACop0418.pdf

Vent Alarm Corporation, dba Valcor, aka Samcor Valcor, sought
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.P.R. Case No. 15-09316)
on Nov. 24, 2015.  The Debtor's counsel is Alexis Fuentes
Hernandez, Esq., at Fuentes Law Offices, LLC, in San Juan, Puerto
Rico.  The Debtor has assets totaling $7.95 million and liabilities
totaling $7.55 million.  The petition was signed by Fernando Sosa,
president.


VESTIS RETAIL: Asks Court to Approve $125-Mil. DIP Financing
------------------------------------------------------------
Vestis Retail Group, LLC, et al., seek authority from the
Bankruptcy Court to obtain a $125 million senior secured
superpriority revolving credit facility from Wells Fargo Capital
Finance, LLC and Bank of America, N.A., as DIP lenders.  The
Debtors also seek permission to use cash collateral of the
prepetition secured parties.

As previously reported, the Debtors have filed these cases to
implement a sale of substantially all of their assets.  To that
end, the Debtors have executed an asset purchase agreement with
Vestis BSI Funding II, LLC, as third lien administrative agent (an
affiliate of Capital Management, LLC, the Debtors' current equity
sponsor), subject to higher and better bids, and have commenced the
Store Closing Sales.  Pending approval of a sale of substantially
all of their assets by the Court, the Debtors intend to operate
their business in the ordinary course and continue the store
closing sales.

According to Robert F. Poppiti, Jr., Esq., at Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, the proposed financing and the use of cash
collateral will provide the Debtors with the necessary capital with
which to operate their business, including funding their
obligations to employees, and to preserve their business for the
benefit of their estates and creditors pending the outcome of the
sale process.

"Without the proposed credit facility and access to cash
collateral, the Debtors will not have any liquidity, among other
things, to operate their business, fund their ordinary course
expenditures, including paying their over 4,000 employees, or to
pay the expenses necessary to administer these chapter 11 cases,"
said Mr. Poppiti.

The Credit Facility will mature on the earliest to occur of (a)
Aug. 18, 2016, (b) 30 days after the entry of the Interim Order if
the Final Order has not been entered prior to the expiration of
such 30 day period, (c) the effective date of a plan of
reorganization filed in the Cases pursuant to an order entered by
the Court, (d) the consummation of the sale or sales of all or
substantially all of the Debtors' assets and properties, (e) the
date the Court orders the conversion of the Case of any Debtor to a
Chapter 7 liquidation, (f) the date the Loan Agreement is otherwise
terminated for any reason whatsoever pursuant to the terms of the
Ratification Agreement and (g) subject to the Interim Order or
Final Order, as applicable, the acceleration of the Obligations or
termination of the Commitments under the Loan Agreement, including
without limitation, as a result of the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

For the revolving loans, interest rate is equal to the base rate
plus 3.5% per annum.  During an event of default, interest will
accrue an additional 2% per annum.

The Loan Agreement requires the Debtors to, among other milestones,
consummate the 363 Sale on or before the 81st day following the
Petition Date.

The proposed interim order affirms the right of the Agent, and,
subject to entry of the Final Order, the Pre-Petition Term
Agent and Third Lien Agent to credit bid.

The Debtors disclosed that the Pre-Petition Term Lenders and Third
Lien Lenders consent to their use of property, including cash
collateral, on the terms of the Loan Agreement and proposed DIP
Orders.  The Debtors said that the Pre-Petition Term Lenders and
Third Lien Lenders will be adequately protected through the grant
of adequate protection, which adequate protection they have
consented to.

VESTIS RETAIL: Expects to Complete Sale to Versa mid-Summer
-----------------------------------------------------------
As part of its ongoing strategic review process, Vestis Retail
Group, LLC ("Vestis" or "the Company"), the parent company of
Eastern Mountain Sports ("EMS"), Bob's Stores ("Bob's") and Sport
Chalet, on April 18 announced a series of steps that will
collectively provide a stronger financial foundation for the
Company.  These steps focus on supporting the long-term success of
EMS and Bob's while efficiently winding down Sport Chalet.

"When Vestis first acquired EMS and Sport Chalet, each company
faced significant operational challenges and was on the verge of
liquidation.  We have made significant progress in stabilizing the
businesses and improving overall performance across all our
brands," said Mark Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Vestis.  "As a
result, EMS and Bob's are now delivering solid performance but have
been burdened by limited financial flexibility due, in part, to the
unique competitive pressures facing Sport Chalet.  After reviewing
a variety of strategic alternatives, we determined that the best
path forward is to separate the businesses and confront the
challenges that have been hindering our overall progress.  We are
confident EMS and Bob's will be well-positioned to thrive at the
conclusion of the process."

As part of the planned transition, Sport Chalet began store closing
sales on April 16, 2016, at all of its locations, while EMS and
Bob's began closings at a total of just nine locations (eight EMS
and one Bob's) where real estate costs are unfavorable and have
prevented the store from achieving sufficient profitability.  The
balance of the EMS and Bob's lease portfolio will be evaluated for
efficiencies as part of the Company's broader efforts to strengthen
its financial performance.

To achieve its financial objectives, Vestis earlier on April 18
initiated voluntary reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Code and proposed the sale of EMS and Bob's to funds
advised by Versa Capital Management, LLC ("Versa"), which would
acquire substantially all of the remaining assets of the Company.
The agreement with Versa, which will be subject to court approval,
seeks to position EMS and Bob's to maximize future opportunities.
The Company also expects to use the reorganization process to best
address legacy liabilities dating back to before EMS and Sport
Chalet were first acquired.

Vestis expects to complete the proposed sale in mid-Summer, in time
for the important back-to-school and holiday seasons.  In the
interim, the Company expects to operate its go-forward EMS and
Bob's stores and eCommerce sites as usual and to continue store
closing sales at other locations as planned.  The Company expects
to continue employee wage and benefit programs as usual, maintain
EMS and Bob's customer loyalty programs, honor all EMS and Bob's
customer gift cards and store credit in full and pay suppliers in
the normal course of business for all goods and services delivered
from today forward.  Vestis has secured a commitment for up to $125
million in debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from its existing
lender, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, which combined with cash
from existing operations will help ensure the Company is able to
meet its financial obligations throughout the process.

At the completion of the process, the combination of EMS and Bob's
will be a stronger business partner with a renewed focus on the
core successful operations in the eastern U.S., where they will
continue to operate an approximately $400 million multi-channel
retailer.

Vestis is advised in this transaction by Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff &
Stern LLP, Lincoln Partners Advisors LLC and FTI Consulting.

VESTIS RETAIL: Hires KCC as Claims and Noticing Agent
-----------------------------------------------------
Vestis Retail Group, LLC and its debtor affiliates filed an
application with the Bankruptcy Court seeking authority to appoint
Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as claims and noticing agent for
the Office of the Clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware.  KCC is expected to assume full
responsibility for the distribution of notices and the maintenance,
processing, and docketing of proofs of claim filed in the Debtors'
cases.

Although the Debtors have not yet filed their schedules of assets
and liabilities, they anticipate that there will be hundreds of
entities to be noticed.  In view of the number of anticipated
claimants and the complexity of their business, the Debtors assert
that the appointment of a claims and noticing agent is necessary.

KCC's consulting services and rates are:
   
       Position                             Hourly Rate
       --------                             -----------
       Executive Vice President               Waived
       Director/Senior Managing Consultant     $195
       Consultant/Senior Consultant           $78-$178
       Technology/Programming Consultant      $39-$78
       Clerical                               $28-$55

The Debtors request that the undisputed fees and expenses incurred
by KCC in the performance of the services be treated as
administrative expenses of their Chapter 11 estates and be paid in
the ordinary course of business without further application to or
order of the Court.

Before the Petition Date, the Debtors provided KCC a retainer in
the amount of $25,000.  KCC seeks to first apply the retainer to
all prepetition invoices, and thereafter, to have the retainer
replenished to the original retainer amount, and thereafter, to
hold the retainer under the Services Agreement during these cases
as security for the payment of fees and expenses under the Services
Agreement.

Additionally, under the terms of the Services Agreement, the
Debtors have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless KCC and
its members, officers, employees, representatives, and agents under
certain circumstances specified in the Services Agreement.

KCC represents it is a "disinterested person" as that term is
defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to
the matters upon which it is to be engaged.

Headquartered in Meriden, Connecticut, Vestis Retail Group, LLC, et
al., operate 144 retail stores, which are located in 15 states.
Bob's Stores operates 36 stores throughout New England, New York,
and New Jersey.  Eastern Mountain Sports operates 61 stores,
located primarily in the Northeastern states.  Sport Chalet
operates 47 stores throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada.
Bob's Stores and EMS primarily operate stores located in the

currently being liquidated, are located in the Western states.

Prior to the Petition Date, each of the three Debtor retailers
operated an e-commerce site at, respectively, www.bobstores.com,
www.sportchalet.com, and www.ems.com.  In 2015, the Debtors
collectively generated 5% of their total sales, or approximately
$32 million, through e-commerce, according to Court documents.

Vestis Retail Group and eight of its affiliates filed Chapter 11
bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Proposed Lead Case No.
16-10971) on April 18, 2016.  The Debtors estimated assets in the
range of $0 to $50,000 and debts of $100 million to $500 million.
The petitions were signed by Thomas A. Kennedy as secretary.

The Debtors have hired Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor, LLP as
their counsel, FTI Consulting, Inc. and Lincoln Partners Advisors
LLC as their financial advisor and Kurtzman Carson Consultants, LLC
as their claims and noticing agent.

Judge Christopher S. Sontchi is assigned to the cases.


VESTIS RETAIL: Joint Administration of Cases Sought
---------------------------------------------------
Vestis Retail Group, LLC and eight of its affiliates asked the
Bankruptcy Court to jointly administer their cases, for procedural
purposes only, under the Chapter 11 case of Vestis Retail Group,
LLC, Case No. 16-10971.

The Debtors said joint administration is warranted in these cases
(i) because their financial affairs and business operations are
closely related, and (ii) to ease the administrative burden on the
Court and other parties.

Court documents show that Debtor Vestis Retail Group, LLC is owned
by Debtor Vestis Retail Financing, LLC, and in turn is the sole
member and owner of Debtors EMS Operating Company, LLC, Vestis IP
Holdings, LLC, Bob's Stores, LLC, EMS Acquisition LLC, and Sport
Chalet, LLC.  Sport Chalet, LLC is the sole member and owner of
Sport Chalet Value Services, LLC and Sport Chalet Team Sales, LLC.
All of the Debtors are under common management.  The Debtors share
many creditors and parties-in-interest.

According to Robert F. Poppiti, Jr., Esq., at Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, counsel for the Debtors, joint
administration will:

   (a) prevent duplicative efforts and unnecessary expenses;

   (b) permit the Clerk to use a single general docket for each of
       the Cases and to combine notices to creditors and other
       parties-in-interest of the Debtors' respective estates,
       eliminating the confusion and waste that would be caused by

       separate administration; and

   (c) eliminate cumbersome pleadings and ensure a uniformity of
       pleading identification.

$32 million, through e-commerce, according to Court documents.

Vestis Retail Group and eight of its affiliates filed Chapter 11
bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. D. Del. Proposed Lead Case No.
16-10971) on April 18, 2016.  The Debtors estimated assets in the
range of $0 to $50,000 and debts of $100 million to $500 million.
The petitions were signed by Thomas A. Kennedy as secretary.

The Debtors have hired Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor, LLP as
their counsel, FTI Consulting, Inc. and Lincoln Partners Advisors
LLC as their financial advisor and Kurtzman Carson Consultants, LLC

VESTIS RETAIL: To Close All 47 Sport Chalet Stores
--------------------------------------------------
Vestis Retail Group, LLC and its debtor affiliates seek authority
from the Bankruptcy Court to continue store closing certain of
their retail stores in accordance with the terms of a letter
agreement governing inventory disposition, dated as of April 15,
2016, by and between Hilco Merchant Resources, LLC and Gordon
Brothers Retail Partners, LLC, on the one hand, and EMS Operating
Company, LLC, Bob's Stores, LLC, Sport Chalet, LLC, and Sport
Chalet Team Sales, LLC, on the other hand.

Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, Hilco and Gordon
will serve as the exclusive agent to the Debtors for the purpose of
conducting a sale of certain merchandise and furnishings, trade
fixtures, equipment, and improvements to real property at the
Closing Stores.  

The Debtors said that prior to the Petition Date, they implemented
a series of internal restructuring and synergy initiatives,
designed to integrate the three chains into Vestis Group and
streamline and improve operations, but various challenges remained,
including from the prior ownership of EMS and Sport Chalet.

Ultimately, the Debtors determined that commencing the Store
Closing Sales was the best way under the circumstances to maximize
the value of the Debtors' businesses and assets for their estates
and creditors.  Specifically, the Closing Stores are comprised of
(i) all 47 Sport Chalet retail stores; (ii) one Bob's Stores retail
store; and (iii) eight EMS retail stores.

The Store Closing Sales commenced on April 16, 2016, and will
terminate on June 30, 2016.

The Debtors will pay the Agent a fee for the sale of Merchandise at
(a) the Sport Chalet Stores that is between 0% and 1.25% of the
Gross Proceeds applicable to the Sport Chalet Stores, based on the
Recovery Percentage, (b) the EMS Stores that is between 0% and
1.25% of Gross Proceeds applicable to the EMS Stores, based on the
Recovery Percentage, and (c) the Bob's Store that is 1% of Gross
Proceeds applicable to the Bob's Store.  The Agent will also earn a
commission of 15% on the sale of any FF&E.  All Expenses of the
Store Closing Sales, which are subject to expense budgets for each
of the Sport Chalet Stores, the EMS Stores, and the Bob's Stores
will be paid by the Debtors.

The Debtors have funded to the Agent an advance payment of expenses
in the amount of $600,000 in the aggregate to be applied to
expenses as incurred.  Any portion of the advance not used to pay
expenses of the Store Closing Sales will be returned to the Debtors
within three days following final reconciliation in accordance with
the Agreement.

VIRGIN ISLANDS WAFA: Fitch Cuts $127MM Revenue Bonds to 'BB-'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the ratings on the following U.S.
Virgin Islands (USVI) Water and Power Authority (WAPA) revenue
bonds:

-- $127,045,000 electric system revenue bonds, series 2012A,
    2010A, 2010B, 2010C, 2003 to 'BB-' from 'BB';

-- $100,135,000 electric system subordinated revenue bonds,
    series 2007A, 2012B, 2012C to 'B+' from 'BB-'.

In addition, the ratings for the bonds have been placed on Rating
Watch Negative.

Fitch expects to resolve the Rating Watch within the coming months
following the release of audited financial statements for fiscal
year ending June 30, 2015 and preliminary financial results for the
current fiscal year, resolution of a pending rate case,
negotiations to extend expiring lines of credit and greater clarity
on potential obligations that could arise from pending litigation.


SECURITY

The electric system revenue bonds are secured by a pledge of net
electric revenues and certain other funds established under the
bond resolution. The electric system subordinated revenue bonds are
secured by a pledge of net revenues that are subordinate to the
pledge securing the electric system revenue bonds. A default on the
subordinate lien bonds does not trigger a cross default on the
senior revenue bonds.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

PERSISTENTLY STRAINED LIQUIDITY: The downgrade reflects WAPA's
reduced capacity for timely repayment of outstanding debt service
obligations as evidenced by a persistent strain on available
liquidity. Liquidity pressures have been driven by consistently low
unrestricted cash reserves balances, escalation in already high
government receivables and high levels of borrowing under the
authority's available lines of credit. Through the first six months
of the current fiscal year, unrestricted cash declined to just $5.1
million (equal to 18 days cash on hand), compared to $10.9 million
at fiscal year-end 2015. Moreover, remaining borrowing capacity
under the lines of credit totals just $2 million.

LIMITED MARGIN OF SAFETY REMAINS: The Rating Watch Negative
reflects Fitch Ratings concern that capacity for continued payment
is vulnerable to deterioration. Exacerbating WAPA's operating
pressure is a lawsuit recently initiated by the authority's former
fuel supplier alleging failure to pay almost $25 million in fuel
delivery charges and continuing build-up of the USVI government
(Implied General Obligation rating of 'BB-') receivables.

POWER SUPPLY DIVERSIFICATION: Fitch believes the authority's
ongoing efforts to diversify its power supply should ultimately
have a stabilizing impact on electric rates and declining sales
despite cost overruns and delays. WAPA is converting its oil-fired
generating plants to tri-fueled capability with liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG, or propane) as the primary fuel source initially. While
the authority has already completed the conversion of two
generating units on each island (St. Thomas and St. Croix) and
begun burning propane, recent project cost increases and delays in
project completion have been a concern.

CONSTRAINED COST-RECOVERY MECHANISMS; RATE CASE PENDING: Electric
rates are regulated by the Virgin Islands Public Service Commission
(PSC), which has authorized cost recovery through both base rates
and a levelized energy adjustment clause (LEAC) for fuel and other
related costs. Delays inherent in both the regulatory process and
the recovery mechanism impair liquidity and limit financial
flexibility. Retail rates ($0.29/kwh) remain exceptionally high,
despite some moderation over the prior year driven by lower fuel
prices. The requested base rate increase currently pending could
improve the authority's margin of safety.

CHALLENGED SERVICE TERRITORY: The authority serves a geographically
and economically challenged territory largely dependent on tourism
and government employment. Strains related to the USVI's narrow
economy are compounded by the authority's exceptionally high
electric rates, declining sales, and per capita personal income
levels that approximate just half of the U.S. average.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

ADDITIONAL LIQUIDITY STRAINS: Resolution of the Rating Watch
Negative on the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority will
depend on WAPA's ability to restore its available liquidity to
levels commensurate with its business risk and anticipated
obligations. Further evidence of reduced capacity for timely
repayment of outstanding debt service obligations, including
diminished cash balances, no access to short-term credit or sizable
unanticipated obligations related to pending litigation could
result in further negative rating actions.

RATING STABILITY: Increased available liquidity as evidenced by an
increase in unrestricted cash balances, increased borrowing
capacity under its lines of credit, more timely receipt of payment
from the USVI government, base rate increases and the positive
resolution of pending litigation could provide some additional
cushion over the near-term and stabilize the current ratings.

CREDIT PROFILE

LIQUIDITY CONCERNS

WAPA's consistently low cash balances coupled with a persistent
reliance on borrowings under its bank lines of credit to fund
working capital remains a key credit concern for Fitch. The
authority currently maintains bank lines of credit from Banco
Popular of Puerto Rico (Long-Term Issuer Default Rating 'BB-' ) and
FirstBank of Puerto Rico that mature on June 25, 2016.
Approximately $18 million of the $20 million in total borrowing
capacity has been drawn upon.

WAPA also maintains a $15 million overdraft facility with FirstBank
as well as additional lines of credit to fund capital projects from
both banks totaling $13 million. Approximately $21.5 million of the
$28 million in available capacity under the additional lines has
been tapped.

While the authority expects to secure an extension to the lines of
credit prior to the expiration date, Fitch remains concerned over
its ability to do so, as well as its ability to restore borrowing
capacity.

LEGAL ACTION INITIATED

WAPA's prior fuel supplier, Trafigura Trading LLC (Trafigura),
recently filed a complaint in district court alleging the authority
failed to pay an outstanding balance of almost $25 million for
prior fuel deliveries made during a portion of 2015.

WAPA changed fuel suppliers' midway through 2015 reportedly without
satisfying any portion of the amount owed to Trafigura. The balance
owed appears to be a primary driver in a sizeable spike in accounts
payable to $74.6 million from $38.9 million exhibited in the
authority's preliminary unaudited financial results for fiscal
2015.

The authority's failure to satisfy the obligation is especially
concerning given its current strains on liquidity and growing
receivables from the government. Earlier this year the USVI
government received approximately $220 million from the sale of the
Hovensa oil refinery. However, the V.I. government has reportedly
allocated just $9.6 million to date to the authority in an effort
to reduce a small portion of the approximately $44 million
accumulated receivable it owes to WAPA. Moreover, the vast majority
of the $220 million has reportedly been used by the V.I. government
to fund other obligations, reducing the likelihood that any
additional progress toward reducing the receivable and paying
Trafigura will result from the Hovensa sale.

WEAK FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The authority's financial profile has weakened further in recent
years, reflecting the confluence of inadequate cost recovery,
declining sales and the continued financial strain attributable to
overdue receivables from the government. Total government
receivables nearly doubled from $25.5 million in fiscal 2013 to
$46.9 million through Dec. 31, 2015.

Fitch calculated all-in debt service coverage declined to 0.83x in
fiscal year-end 2014, although with the inclusion of fuel tax
revenues, which are statutorily restricted for capex and debt
service related to new generation projects, coverage improves to
just under 1.2x. Total debt service incorporates outstanding
general obligations notes, which are junior to the payment of
senior lien and subordinated lien obligations of the electric
system. Fitch calculated coverage of senior lien obligations alone
was adequate at 1.53x in fiscal 2014 but significantly weaker on
senior and subordinate obligations at .97x.

Liquidity, not including lines of credit available for working
capital, remained low with just 13 days cash on hand at the close
of fiscal 2014. Including the available lines of credit, liquidity
improved modestly but remained weak at 23 days of liquidity on
hand.

Cash flow and liquidity metrics, based on unaudited year-end
financial results, remained largely unchanged in fiscal 2015,
despite the non-payment of nearly $25 million in fuel costs to
Trafigura. Total borrowing capacity under all available lines,
including one for overdraft protection, is almost completely
exhausted, further straining the authority's access to liquidity.

The Authority recently (December 2015) submitted rate cases for
both the electric and water utilities that, if approved by the PSC,
would take effect in July 2016. The additional electric system
revenue would be used in conjunction with fuel tax revenues and
proceeds from additional debt issuance to fund approximately $145
million in new capital projects, primarily related to new
generating units.


WALTER ENERGY: Wants Deferred Compensation Plan Trust Terminated
----------------------------------------------------------------
Walter Energy and its affiliated debtors ask the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Southern Division, to
authorize and direct the Trustee of Walter Industries, Inc.'s
Deferred Compensation Plan Trust to terminate the Trust and release
the Trust's assets to Walter Industries, Inc., in accordance with
the terms of the Trust Agreement.

The Deferred Compensation Plan provides additional payments to
executives whose tax qualified elective contributions under the
Retirement Savings Plan are limited by tax law.  Under the Deferred
Compensation Plan, annual discretionary payments are made each
March on account of the prior year into the Deferred Compensation
Plan Trust.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., is the trustee of the Deferred Compensation
Plan Trust pursuant to the Walter Industries Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan Trust Agreement.

The Debtors relate that the Deferred Compensation Plan Trust
currently holds cash assets valued at approximately $370,000.
Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is required to cease
payments of benefits to Participants if the Company is insolvent.
The Debtors contend that by filing the Chapter 11 Cases, the
Company is "insolvent" within the meaning of the Trust Agreement.

The Debtors tell the Court that the Trust Agreement provides that
the Trust will not terminate "until the date on which the Plan
participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to
benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s)", and that it further
provides that upon termination, all assets in the Trust will be
returned to the Company.

The Debtors aver that upon the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the
Trustee ceased payment of benefits to the Participants, as required
by the terms of the Trust Agreement.  The Debtors further aver that
as of the Closing Date, as that term is defined in the Asset
Purchase Agreement by and among Coal Acquisition, LLC and Walter
Energy, Inc., et al., the Company will no longer have employees
"entitled to benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s)," and
the purpose of the Trust will cease to exist.  The sale
transactions contemplated by the APA closed on March 31, 2016.

"The Debtors have determined that releasing the Trust Assets to the
Debtors will benefit the Debtors, their estates, and their
creditors.  While termination of the Trust and release of the Trust
Assets are authorized under the terms of the Trust Agreement and
therefore may constitute ordinary course transactions, the Debtors
seek the Court's authorization, out of an abundance of caution, to
the extent that these transactions may constitute use of the
Debtors' property outside the ordinary course of business.
Accordingly, the Debtors seek this Court's authority to direct the
Trustee to terminate the Trust and release the Trust Assets to the
Debtors, in accordance with the terms of the Trust," the Debtors
aver.

The hearing on the Debtors' Motion is scheduled on April 27, 2016
at 10:00 a.m.  The deadline for the filing of objections to the
Debtors' Motion is set on April 20, 2016 at 4:00 p.m.

[*] Oaktree Said to Hire CarVal Asia Head for Distressed Deals
--------------------------------------------------------------
Devin Banerje and Erik Schatzer, writing for Bloomberg Brief,
reported that Oaktree Capital Group LLC, the world's biggest
distressed-debt investor, hired CarVal Investors' Asia head Nick
Weber as Oaktree prepares to deploy its new fund, people with
knowledge of the move said.

According to the report, Mr. Weber will work on distressed deals
from Oaktree's Singapore office, said the people, who asked not to
be named because the information hasn't been announced.  He's been
in Singapore for Hopkins, Minnesota-based CarVal since 2012,
previously working for the distressed credit and real estate
investor in the U.S. and London, Bloomberg said, citing a biography
on the firm's website.

The report said Oaktree is preparing to invest money globally from
a new $3 billion distressed-debt fund, which has an additional $7
billion in commitments it can tap if more credit opportunities
present themselves.  The firm is among a number of asset managers,
including KKR & Co., Fortress Investment Group LLC and Bain
Capital's Sankaty Advisors, that have raised money in the past two
years for what executives say is an impending cycle of corporate
defaults, the report related.

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices

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

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.

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
