4402 MAMMOTH: Hires Melkonian as Special Litigation Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------
4402 Mammoth Investors, LLC seeks authorization from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California to employ
Geoffrey G. Melkonian as special litigation counsel.

The Debtor holds a single asset, a residential single family
residence in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles. 120 Stonehaven
Way, Los Angeles, CA (the "Property").

The Debtor purchased the Property for $2 million and obtained
financing of $1.5 million from the lender who held a note on the
Property from the prior owner.

The Debtor purchased the Property in 2015 with the intention of
fixing up the property and reselling it for a profit. Once the
Debtor obtained ownership, the Debtor was forced to deal with prior
tenants related to the prior owner who have refused to move from
the Property. The Debtor commenced an unlawful detainer action in
the Los Angeles Superior Court, in January 2016, but has so far
been unable to remove the holdover tenants.

While the Debtor was dealing with the holdover tenants and unable
to collect rent from the Property, the Debtor was sued in a quiet
title action brought by the prior owners of the Property, who are
believed to be related to the holdover tenants.

While the quiet title action was pending, and the Debtor was not
collecting rent, the Debtor was unable to make payments to the deed
of trust holder on the Property. The deed of trust holder commenced
a foreclosure with a notice of default and notice of sale.

When the Debtor made clear its intent to litigate those issues, the
deed of trust holder allegedly sold the note and deed of trust to a
new entity, who immediately pledged the note and deed of trust as
collateral to a third party lender. The new entity holder of the
Deed of Trust, Stonehaven LLC, is believed to have some
relationship with the prior owners bringing the quiet title action,
as well as with the holdover tenants.

The Debtor anticipates bringing litigation actions against its
former lender and possibly the current holder of the note and deed
of trust for its damages.

The Debtor proposes to employ Geoffrey Melkonian d/b/a Law Office
of Geoffrey Melkonian as its counsel for the pending Unlawful
Detainer action and related matters with respect to the Debtor's
Property.

The current hourly billing rate of Melkonian is $300 per hour.

Melkonian will not be paid a retainer by this Debtor, and will
provide monthly billing statements to the Debtor and to Arthur
Aslanian (managing member). The Debtor will identify these payments
on its Monthly Operating Reports as "disbursements" provided for
the benefit of the Debtor.

Geoffrey Melkonian d/b/a Law Office of Geoffrey Melkonian, 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 Debtor and its estates.

925 N DAMEN: Rick Levin Will Auction Chicago Property on Jan. 2
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Donald R. Cassling of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois will convene a hearing on Nov. 29,
2016 at 9:30 a.m. to consider 925 N. Damen, LLC's proposed
procedures in connection with the sale of interests in real and
personal property located at 925 N. Damen Avenue, Chicago, Illinois
at an auction to be conducted by Rick Levin and Associates, Inc. on
Jan. 2, 2017.

The Debtor is the sole owner of beneficial interests in the Chicago
Title Land Trust number 8002371267 under trust agreement dated May
9, 2016, which is the titleholder to the real estate and
improvements at the property (Pin:17-06-421-013-0000).  The
property is a three story, multi-family, residential use property
with both commercial and residential uses of approximately 6,641
square feet.  Presently, there are no lessees of the property.

The Debtor asserts that it is in the best interests of all
constituents that the property be sold in an auction sale.  In
order to facilitate the competitive bid solicitation process
contemplated, the Debtor is seeking to engage and retain the Broker
as its exclusive real estate broker to assist the Debtor in
formulating and implementing a comprehensive marketing, auction and
sale process for the property.

The Broker will coordinate a comprehensive marketing program,
following which it will conduct a competitive bid auction for the
property.  In order to become the "Winning Bidder" with respect to
either of the property, a Bidder must: (a) be declared the highest
and/or best bid at the conclusion of the auction, and (ii) such bid
must be accepted by the Debtor.  Subject to the approval of the
Court, the Debtor and the Broker intend to conduct the auction.
The auction will be governed by the Sale Procedures.  The proposed
auction date is Jan. 2, 2017.

The salient terms of the Sales Procedures are:

          a. Qualifying Bids: Any Potential Bidder that wishes to
participate in the bidding process must become a "Qualifying
Bidder."  To be deemed a "Qualifying Bidder," a bid must be
received from a Qualifying Bidder by a date no later than the Bid
Deadline that: (i) states that such Qualifying Bidder offers to
purchase all or substantially all of the Property upon the terms
and conditions substantially as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement; (ii) is accompanied by a clean and duly executed
"Modified Purchase Agreement"; (iii) identifies with particularity
each and every executory contract and unexpired lease, the
assumption and, as applicable, assignment of which is a condition
to closing; (iv) does not request or entitle such Qualifying Bidder
to any break-up fee, expense reimbursement, or similar type of
payment; and (v) provides a purchase deposit equal to 10% of the
purchase price contained in the Modified Purchase Agreement.

          b. Bid Deadline: 2 business days before the auction.

          c. No Qualifying Bids: If no timely, conforming
Qualifying Bids are submitted by the Bid Deadline, the Debtor will
not hold the auction and will proceed to a closing of the sale
transaction contemplated by the Stalking Horse Agreement.

          d. Auction: Jan. 2, 2017

          e. Bid Increments: $25,000 higher than the preceding
bid.

          f. The Bank may make one or more credit bids pursuant to
section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          g. The auction will continue until there is only one
offer that the Debtor determines subject to Court approval, is the
highest or best from among the Qualifying Bids submitted at the
auction.

          h. Within 1 day after adjournment of the auction, the
Winning Bidder will complete and execute all agreements, contracts,
instruments and other documents evidencing and containing the terms
and conditions upon which the Winning Bid was made.

          i. Sale Hearing: Feb. 7, 2017

          j. Return of Deposits: All deposits will be returned to
each Qualifying Bidder not selected by the Debtor as the Winning
Bidder no later than 5 business days following the conclusion of
the Sale Hearing.

A copy of the Bidding Procedures attached to the Motion is
available for free at:

          http://bankrupt.com/misc/925_N_Damen_8_Sales.pdf

The Debtor asserts that it is in the best interests of all
constituents that the property be marketed for sale as promptly as
possible as provided in the Motion. The conduct of the proposed
auction will result in a final and definitive resolution of the
claims of the Bank involving the property.  Accordingly, the Debtor
asks that the Court approve the sale of the property to the highest
and/or best bidders as may appear at the auction.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ: State Officials Approve Takeover
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Wichert, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that
officials of the state of New Jersey on Nov. 9, 2016, signed off on
a state takeover of Atlantic City, stripping the struggling resort
town of major decision-making powers after a state agency rejected
the city's financial recovery plan.  The Local Finance Board within
the state Department of Community Affairs voted to transfer powers
of the city's governing body that may be substantially related to
the city's fiscal condition or financial rehabilitation and
recovery to Timothy Cunningham, director of the Division of Local
Government Services, or his designee.

An earlier report by Law360's Wichert says DCA Commissioner Charles
Richman on Nov. 7 held that supplemental materials provided by
Atlantic city did not convince him that the plan would achieve
financial stability for the municipality.

approximately $340,000, as of the Petition Date, which is secured

of its unencumbered post-petition assets.  The Debtor further
proposes to make monthly adequate protection payments to TD Bank in
the amount of $4,0000.

BASIC ENERGY: Seeks Approval of Key Employee Retention Program
--------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that Basic Energy Services filed with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion for entry of an order approving
its key employee retention program (KERP) for certain key
employees.  The motion explains, "For the KERP to achieve an
appropriate offset of the reduced compensation available to
employees under the Prepetition Incentive Programs (as well as the
Compensation Reductions), the Debtors created two subsets of KERP
Participants: (i) 116 employees who would only be eligible for the
Quarterly Bonus Program (the 'Non-LTIP KERP Participants') and (ii)
twenty (21) employees who would be eligible to receive bonuses
under the Annual Bonus Plan, the Quarterly Bonus Program, and the
LTIP (the 'LTIP KERP Participants').  All KERP Participants are
eligible to receive a retention award (the 'Retention Award') under
the KERP payable in four equal installments if the employee remains
with the Debtors during the Retention Period.  The Non-LTIP KERP
Participants' Retention Award is between 20-40% of such employees'
base salaries.  The LTIP KERP Participants' Retention Award is made
up of two components designed to offset a portion of the reduction
in payments under both the Quarterly Bonus Program/Annual Bonus
Plan and the LTIP: (x) one component is 75% of an amount that is
40-75% of such employees' base salaries and (y) the second
component is an amount equal to 50% of an amount that is 75-150% of
such employees' base salaries. The Retention Awards of two-thirds
of the LTIP KERP Participants were further reduced by another 5% to
65%.  Payments under the KERP are divided into four (4) equal
installment payments (the 'KERP Installment Payments').  The total
maximum amount of Retention Awards available under the KERP is
$6,603,985, of which $3,287,617 has been distributed as of the date
hereof (June 2016).  On November 15, 2016, the Debtors are
scheduled to pay out $1,374,553 in Retention Awards to KERP
Participants."  The motion further explains, "The maximum cost of
the KERP is approximately $6.633 million, yielding an average
payout of $48,800 per KERP Participant.  The KERP represents a
reasonable expenditure to preserve and enhance morale and to
minimize uncertainty and the potential loss of employees as a
consequence of the Debtors' restructuring efforts. Moreover, the
scope of the KERP is fair and reasonable.  In identifying KERP
Participants, the Debtors' senior management and human resources
department undertook a careful process to address a particular need
among their non-insider employees."  The Court scheduled a Nov. 18,
2016 hearing to consider the KERP motion, with objections due by
November 10, 2016.

---------------------------------------------------------------
The fall 2016 semi-annual borrowing base redetermination under the
Credit Agreement, dated March 29, 2011, of Bonanza Creek Energy,
Inc., was completed on Oct. 31, 2016.

The Borrowing Base under the Credit Agreement was reduced from $200
million to $150 million, which amount will remain in effect until
it is redetermined or adjusted in accordance with the Credit
Agreement and will continue to be secured by certain of the
Company's Oil and Gas Properties.

As of Oct. 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $214.7 million
in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and no
outstanding letters of credit.  As a result of this October 2016
redetermination and after giving effect to the last monthly
installment of approximately $14.6 million owed as a result of the
Borrowing Base Deficiency which existed following the Company's
semi-annual borrowing base redetermination on May 20, 2016, the
Company will have a Borrowing Base Deficiency of approximately $50
million (the "Fall Deficiency").  The Company received notice of
the Fall Deficiency on Oct. 31, 2016.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company must pursue
one of the following options to address the Borrowing Base
Deficiency: (A) within 20 days after the Deficiency Notice Date,
deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice of the Company's
election to repay Advances such that the Borrowing Base Deficiency
is cured within 30 days after the Deficiency Notice Date; (B)
pledge, within 30 days after the Deficiency Notice Date, additional
Oil and Gas Properties acceptable to the Lenders, which the Lenders
deem sufficient in their sole discretion to eliminate the Borrowing
Base Deficiency; (C) within 20 days after the Deficiency Notice
Date, deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice of the
Company's election to repay Advances in six monthly installments
equal to one-sixth of the Borrowing Base Deficiency, with the first
such installment due 30 days after the Deficiency Notice Date and
each following installment due 30 days after the preceding
installment; or (D) within 20 days after the Deficiency Notice
Date, deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice of the
Company's election to combine the options in clause (B) and (C)

C&J ENERGY: DE Shaw & Nantahala Seek Equity Committee Appt.
-----------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that D.E. Shaw Galvanic Portfolios and
Nantahala Capital Management filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
an emergency motion to appoint an official committee of equity
security holders to the C&J Energy Services proceeding. The motion
explains, "The necessity for an Equity Committee is clear. The
Debtors have proposed a plan of reorganization that provides for a
distribution to its equity holders, if they, as a class, accept the
Plan. However, there is no fiduciary acting on behalf of the equity
holders in this case that can assess the reasonableness of the
proposed Plan distribution. Significantly, the equity holders were
not included in the plan negotiation process. The enterprise
valuation of C&J contained in the Disclosure Statement fails to
reflect material information, is significantly understated, and is
therefore suspect. Accordingly, an Equity Committee is needed to
adequately represent the Debtor's public shareholders. . . . The
Movants are shareholders with relatively small equity holdings who,
based on the size of their investment, cannot reasonably be
expected to spend the resources necessary to fully analyze the Plan
and the proposed distribution to equity holders. Moreover, the
Order of the Court, dated July 21, 2016 ('Trading Restrictions
Order'), that restricts trading of C&J stock, effectively precludes
any equity holder from acquiring sufficient shares in C&J to
justify expending the resources necessary to fully analyze the
issues related to protecting the legitimate interests of all public
equity holders. As a result, the only way for Movants and similarly
situated public equity holders to gain adequate representation in
this case is for the Court to promptly appoint an Equity
Committee."

CAL DIVE: Seeks to Distribute Uncle John-Related Lien Reserves
--------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that Cal Dive International filed with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion for an order authorizing the
Debtors to distribute lien reserves related to the Uncle John (a
foreign flagged vessel).  The motion explains, "Because the
Maritime Liens asserted against the Uncle John in Proofs of Claims
(totaling $7,528,218), plus those Maritime Liens that accrued
postpetition and remained outstanding (totaling at the time,
approximately $1,052,995), exceeded the sale proceeds, the Debtors
distributed the full amount of the sale proceeds (i.e. $1,296,750)
to the Lien Reserves. The Debtors seek to distribute the remaining
Lien Reserves to those Maritime Lienholders with the senior most
claims against such Lien Reserves. Under applicable maritime law,
maritime liens of the same class are entitled to priority of
payment in inverse order of time of accrual, hence liens arising in
connection with last voyage of a vessel have priority of payment
over liens accruing on a prior voyage.  As a consequence, the last
maritime lienholders to provide 'necessaries' to the Uncle John
have the most senior claim against the Lien Reserves. In this case,
Maritime Liens totaling $772,600.78 have accrued postpetition
against the Uncle John and remain outstanding. By this Motion, the
Debtors propose to satisfy the Maritime Liens set forth on Schedule
1 to the Proposed Order in full by distributing the $396,750 from
the Lien Reserves, and satisfying the deficiency from the Debtors'
operating account."  The Court scheduled a November 16, 2016
hearing to consider the motion, with objections due by November 9,
2016.

CBC AMMO: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Corp. Credit Ratings, Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it affirmed its 'BB-' global scale
corporate credit ratings on CBC Ammo LLC.  The outlook is stable.

S&P also affirmed the 'BB-' issue-level rating and '3' recovery
rating on CBC's senior unsecured notes.  The '3' recovery rating
denotes S&P's expectation for meaningful recovery (50%-70%; lower
end of the range) in a default scenario.

"The ratings affirmation reflects our expectations that the
company's contracted position with global defense clients and sound
operating efficiency of its ammunition business will continue to
drive predictable and fairly stable operating cash generation.
This will partially offset the effects of somewhat slower demand in
Brazil, which represents around 15% of sales, and the company's
exposure to currency volatility on revenues in that market," said
S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Marcus Fernandes.

Also, although S&P expects handguns manufacturing subsidiary Taurus
to report breakeven results in 2016, the gradual higher
contribution to consolidated EBITDA from 2017 on will boost
improvements to consolidated metrics.

Although Taurus is not a restricted subsidiary of CBC -- and as a
result, is not included in the group's metrics to measure covenants
nor is liable for potential debt obligations at Taurus -- S&P looks
at the metrics on a consolidated basis.  S&P believes it will be
part of CBC's core businesses in the medium to long term, and CBC
has helped Taurus to restructure its capital structure and recently
increased its ownership stake on it.

CBC continues to expand its ammunition production capacity at its
more efficient operations in Czech Republic and Brazil.  This will
allow the company to meet increasing demand from the European and
the U.S. commercial markets, as well as defense clients in Europe
and Middle East.  As a result, S&P expects CBC to continue
operating at full capacity, as the company already has the
production of its main product lines sold for 2017.  Nonetheless,
CBC's operating efficiency and global footprint partially offsets
the risks associated with the company's small scale of operations
and concentration of revenues around lower value added small
caliber ammunition products.  However, S&P expects the low cost
structure in Brazil and Czech Republic to still support the
company's EBITDA margins above 20% over the next several quarters.
In addition, S&P expects Taurus to continue focusing on improving
product quality, client relationship, and operating efficiency in
the short term.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectations that CBC's financial
metrics should gradually improve in 2017 and 2018, resulting in a
debt to EBITDA of about 3x to 3.3x, compared to 3.5x in 2016, and
FFO to debt closer to 20%, following S&P's estimate of FFO to debt
of 15% by year-end 2016.  FFO to debt is somewhat lower than what
S&P expects for the rating category mainly due to the high interest
cost at Taurus.  Although S&P expects some positive contribution
from Taurus over the next few years, it continues to consider that
CBC is not liable for any nonpayment of Taurus, although
consolidated metrics remain pressured by the subsidiary's high debt
levels.


CDK GLOBAL: Moody's Cuts Senior Unsecured Debt Ratings to Ba1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded CDK Global, Inc.'s senior
unsecured debt ratings to Ba1 from Baa3 and changed the outlook to
stable from negative. As part of the rating action, Moody's
assigned CDK a Ba1 corporate family rating (CFR), Ba1-PD
probability of default rating, and an SGL-1 speculative grade
liquidity rating. Given the competitive risks, investment needs,
possible acquisitions and shareholder returns, Moody's believes
that CDK's financial policies are evolving towards higher financial
leverage, which is more consistent with a speculative grade
profile.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Ba1 CFR reflects CDK's leading US market position as a provider
of technology and services to the automotive retail dealer
community and Moody's expectation that the company will maintain
very strong liquidity. Moody's expects consistent free cash flow
generation over the next few fiscal years and profit improvement
driven by moderate revenue growth and the comprehensive business
transformation program. Moody's expects operating margins to rise
above 30% over the next couple of years up from the sub-20% levels
it operated under prior to its spin-off from Automatic Data
Processing.

Yet, the company has been engaged by activist shareholders, and
Moody's believes that activist pressure to reward shareholders was
a large factor in the company's decision to adopt more aggressive
financial policies, ahead of achieving the targeted operating
efficiencies of its business transformation program.

In June 2016, CDK announced an acceleration of its $1 billion
capital return program to be fulfilled by the end of calendar 2016,
ahead of the previous completion target of the end of calendar
2017. The anticipated borrowings to complete the accelerated
program will bring the company's adjusted debt to EBITDA leverage
above 3.0 times by the end of 2016. Moody's believes these leverage
levels will be more in line with the company's financial policy
going forward, as the benefits of CDK's comprehensive business
transformation plan will likely continue to be allocated to
shareholder payouts and not to preserve credit protection measures
that underpin an investment grade rating. Moody's analyst Gerald
Granovsky said, "Moody's believes that CDK will need financial
flexibility for additional borrowing capacity to fund the payouts
to its shareholders and to pursue strategic acquisition
opportunities that would accelerate revenue growth." Moody's
believes that the company's evolving financial policy is consistent
with a Ba1 CFR.

The rating is supported by CDK's market share leadership which
provides the company with scale economies, long lasting
relationships with the large dealership groups and major auto OEMs,
and an entrenched suite of products that are critical to many
dealerships' daily activities, which allows CDK to avoid
significant performance declines in periods of depressed demand
that periodically impact this industry.

CDK's SGL-1 rating reflects the company's very good liquidity
position, supported by solid cash balances of $250 million to $300
million that Moody's expects will be maintained through fiscal
year-end 2017 and steady annual free cash flow of over $200
million. The company's liquidity is supplemented by a $300 million
revolving credit facility maturing in September 2019, which Moody's
expects will remain largely undrawn, other than temporary
borrowings to manage working capital. Given CDK's credit profile,
Moody's expects the company to remain well within the financial
maintenance covenants tied to its debt.

The ratings for the senior unsecured credit facilities (Ba1, LGD4)
and senior unsecured notes (Ba1, LGD4) reflect the overall
probability of default of the company, as reflected in the PDR of
Ba1-PD, and the expectation for average family recovery in a
default scenario.

The stable outlook reflects CDK's strong credit profile at its
rating level, as it affords it the flexibility to manage operating
and business challenges, and the expectation of further operating
improvements from its ongoing business transformation.

What Could Change the Rating - Up

CDK's rating could be upgraded if the company demonstrates, over an
extended period, a return to highly conservative financial
policies. Ratings could also be upgraded if the company's
transformation program is successful and the company manages to a
2.5 times debt to EBITDA leverage target.

What Could Change the Rating - Down

Ratings could be lowered if the CDK continues to pursue more
aggressive financial policies. Ratings would also be pressured if
the company's adjusted debt to EBITDA is sustained around 4.0 times
or if there is significant deterioration in the company's free cash
flow generation. Additionally, any meaningful market share losses
or reversal of efficiency gains, such that operating margins fall
back below 20% (Moody's adjusted) could lead to lower ratings.

Rating Actions:

   -- Corporate Family Rating -- Assigned Ba1

   -- Probability of Default Rating -- Assigned Ba1-PD

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating -- Assigned SGL-1

   -- Senior Unsecured Notes -- Downgraded to Ba1 (LGD4) from Baa3

   -- Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities -- Downgraded to Ba1
      (LGD4) from Baa3

   -- Outlook -- Changed to Stable from Negative

CHICAGO EDUCATION BOARD: S&P Lowers LT Rating on GO Debt to 'B'
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term rating and underlying
rating (SPUR) to 'B' from 'B+' on Chicago Board of Education's
previously issued general obligation (GO) debt.  At the same time,
S&P assigned its 'B' long-term rating to the board's series 2016C
and 2016D unlimited-tax GO refunding bonds (dedicated revenue),
series 2016E and 2016G unlimited-tax GO bonds (dedicated revenue),
and series 2016F taxable unlimited-tax GO bonds (dedicated
revenue).  The outlook is negative.

"The rating action reflects our view of the district's continued
weak liquidity in its most recent cash flow forecast and reliance
on cash flow borrowing, combined with the increased expenditures in
the district's new labor contract that exacerbate the district's
structural imbalance challenges," said S&P Global Ratings credit
analyst Jennifer Boyd.

The district will use the 2016C bond proceeds to refund its series
2011C-1 unlimited-tax GO refunding bonds (dedicated revenue), and
the 2016D bond proceeds to refund its series 2013A-1 unlimited-tax
GO refunding bonds (dedicated revenue).  The district is paying a
9% interest rate on the 2011C-1 and 2013A-1 variable-rate bonds.
The district will use the 2016E and 2016F bond proceeds to
reimburse itself for certain termination payments on its swap
agreements and capitalized interest.  The district will use the
2016G bond proceeds for computer servers and equipment and
capitalized interest.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's view that there is at least a
one-in-three likelihood that it will lower the rating during the
one-year parameter of the outlook.

CHINACAST EDUCATION: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
---------------------------------------------------------------
ChinaCast Education Corp. sought bankruptcy protection with the
goal of maximizing the value of its enterprise by continuing to
wind-up its affairs without the distraction and substantial costs
of having to defend against a class action suit.

Formerly engaged in the business of providing college-level
education to students in China, ChinaCast was left in financial
ruin, has no current operations, and is winding up its affairs as a
result of its founder's alleged looting of the Company in 2012, as
disclosed in the court filing.

According to Douglas Woodrum, chief financial officer and a member
of the Board of Directors of ChinaCast, Ron Chan Tze Ngon was
removed as chairman and CEO of ChinaCast in March 2012 for his
attempt to thwart an annual audit of the Company.  Following his
departure, ChinaCast had "uncovered questionable activities and
transactions which raise the specter of possible illegal conduct by
Ron Chan and his accomplices," and prompted a further
investigation.

Mr. Woodrum said the Company investigated the possible transfer of
interests in certain of its schools to unauthorized parties,
potentially involving Mr. Chan and other individuals.  The Company
also investigated the wrongful withdrawal of approximately $120
million from Company accounts.  The Company also believed Mr. Chan
may have transferred control of its interests in certain of the
schools it operated without authorization.

These events prompted the initiation of an initial securities fraud
class action complaint filed against ChinaCast on May 25, 2012.
Following the consolidation of several related actions against the
Company and others, and the appointment of lead plaintiffs, a
consolidated class action complaint styled In re ChinaCast
Education Corporation Securities Litigation was filed in the United
States District Court for the Central District of California, Case
No. CV 12-04621-JFW (PLAx) on Sept. 17, 2012.  The Class Action
Complaint asserted causes of action under, inter alia, section
10(b) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder against ChinaCast, as well as Derek Feng, Stephen
Marksheid, Ned Sherwood and Daniel Tseung, the members of the Board
during the time of Mr. Chan's looting of the Company.  Mr. Chan was
not named as a defendant in the Class Action Complaint.

On Oct. 15, 2012, ChinaCast and the Independent Directors moved to
dismiss the Class Action Complaint.  On Dec. 7, 2012, the District
Court granted the motion to dismiss.  The District Court ruled
among other things, that (i) the plaintiffs failed to adequately
plead the level of scienter by each of ChinaCast and the
Independent Directors required to sustain a private cause of action
under section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 and under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act; (ii) that Mr. Chan's state of mind could not
be imputed to the Company because of the so-called "adverse
interest" exception to agency common law; and (ii) because the
Independent Directors had no knowledge of Mr. Chan's concealed
looting of the Company or facts sufficient to constitute "reckless
disregard" of facts that would have caused the Independent
Directors to know of Chan's looting of the Company, the claims
against them had to be dismissed.

The plaintiffs in the Class Action appealed the District Court
Decision, but solely as to ChinaCast.  Almost three years after the
District Court Decision, on Oct. 23, 2015, the United States Court
of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court in a
published decision ruling that "the adverse interest exception
itself had exceptions when necessary to protect the rights of a
third party who dealt with the principal in good faith."

Upon remand, without sufficient resources to defend against the
Class Action any further, the Company did not answer the Class
Action Complaint.  A hearing on the plaintiffs' motion for entry of
a default judgment is scheduled for Nov. 14, 2016.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor commenced seven recovery
actions that are currently pending in the United States and in Hong
Kong.

The Debtor expects to promptly file a Chapter 11 plan that
establishes a litigation trust, which will then continue pursuit of
the Recovery Actions until completed.

Founded in 1999 by Ron Chan Tze Ngon, ChinaCast is a publicly-held
corporation organized under the law of Delaware.  On March 1, 2014,
the Secretary of State of Delaware proclaimed that the Debtor was
no longer in good standing for failure to pay taxes.  As a result,
the Debtor is winding up its affairs within the limitations
provided by Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

ChinaCast owned and operated three universities in China: the
Foreign Trade and Business College of Chongqing Normal University,
the Lijiang College of Guangxi Normal University and the Hubei
Industrial University Business College, in addition to
internet-based interactive distance learning applications,
multimedia education content delivery, and vocational training
courses.

As of the Petition Date, the Recovery Action Debt outstanding
totaled approximately $9,380,647.  In addition to the Recovery
Action Debt, the Debtor owes vendors, professionals and other
commercial parties approximately $12,893,088 in the aggregate, as
disclosed in court papers.

The Chapter 11 case is pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York (Case No. 16-13121) before
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil.

Klestadt Winters Jureller serves as counsel to the Debtor.  Reid
Collins & Tsai LLP acts as the Debtor's special litigation
counsel.

The Debtor estimated assets in the range of $500 million to $1
billion and debts in the range of $10 million to $50 million as of
the bankruptcy filing.

COBALT INTERNATIONAL: Incurs $218-Mil. Net Loss in 3rd Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cobalt International Energy, Inc. filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $218.20 million on $4.22 million of revenues for the
three months ended Sept. 30, 2016, compared to a net loss of $59.16
million on $_ of revenues for the same period during the prior
year.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2016, the Company reported a
net loss of $470.36 million on $9.03 million of revenues compared
to a net loss of $207.57 million on $_ of revenues for the nine
months ended Sept. 30, 2015.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Cobalt had $3.68 billion in total assets,
$2.70 billion in total liabilities and $983.83 million in total
stockholders' equity.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $683.3 million
in cash, which includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term
investments, long-term restricted cash and the $250 million the
Company received from Sonangol pursuant to the purchase and sale
agreement, which is classified as restricted cash.  This amount
excludes $16.7 million in cash and restricted cash held within
assets held for sale as of Sept. 30, 2016.  

In 2016, the Company currently expects capital expenditures for the
Company's continuing operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to be
between $525 million to $575 million, of which approximately $380
million has been spent as of Sept. 30, 2016.  These amounts exclude
general and administrative and interest expense.  Total cash
outlays in 2016 for the Company's continuing operations in the U.S.
Gulf of Mexico are currently expected to be between $725 million
and $775 million.  In addition, the Company also expects total cash
outlays in 2016 for its operations offshore Angola to be between
$130 million to $140 million, of which approximately $130 million
has been spent as of Sept. 30, 2016.  

"If we are unable to raise additional sources of capital in 2016,
we expect our cash position at December 31, 2016 to be between
$300.0 million to $350.0 million, which is reduced from our
previous expectation of $350.0 million to $400.0 million.  The
reduction in our expected cash position is a result of the $45.0
million payment in September 2016 and the $31.3 million payment in
October 2016, in each case related to the amendment of the Rowan
drillship contract, which resulted in future savings of
approximately $80.1 million.  These amounts are subject to
additional working capital adjustments and assumes that we repay
the $250.0 million initial payment we received from Sonangol, net
of approximately $158.5 million in receivables Sonangol currently
owes to us.  

"Although we commenced initial production from our Heidelberg
project in January 2016, our capital and operating expenditures
will vastly exceed the revenue we expect to receive from our oil
and natural gas operations for the foreseeable future.  Until
substantial production is achieved, our primary sources of
liquidity are expected to be cash on hand, the proceeds from the
sale of our Angola assets, if any, proceeds from any future equity
and debt financings, and asset monetizations.  In September 2016,
we announced that we had retained financial and legal advisors to
assist us in analyzing and evaluating potential strategic
alternatives and initiatives to improve liquidity."

                          About Cobalt

Cobalt International Energy, Inc. is an independent exploration and
production company with operations currently focused in the
deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico.  In January 2016, the Company
achieved initial production of oil and gas from the Heidelberg
field.  The Company's exploration efforts in the U.S. Gulf of
Mexico have resulted in four oil and gas discoveries including the
North Platte, Shenandoah, Anchor, and Heidelberg fields, each of
which are in various stages of appraisal and development.  The
Company also has a non-operated interest in the Diaba Block
offshore Gabon.

The Company reported a net loss of $694.42 million in 2015, a net
loss of $510.76 million in 2014 and a net loss of $589.02 million
in 2013.

                           *   *   *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 9, 2016, S&P Global Ratings lowered
its unsolicited corporate credit rating on U.S.-based oil and gas
exploration and production (E&P) company Cobalt International
Energy Inc. to 'CC' from 'CCC-'.  "The downgrade follows Cobalt
International's announcement that it has agreed to a possible
exchange transaction involving the company's 2.625% convertible
senior notes due 2019 and 3.125% convertible senior notes due 2024
at below par," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Kevin Kwok.


CONDUENT INC: S&P Assigns 'BB' Corp. Credit Rating, Outlook Neg.
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it assigned its 'BB' corporate credit
rating to New York City-based Conduent Inc.  The outlook is
negative.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery to the company's proposed $750 million secured revolving
credit facility due in 2021, $700 million delayed draw term loan A
due in 2021, $300 million Euro equivalent secured term loan A due
in 2021, and $750 million secured term loan B due in 2023.  The '3'
recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful recovery
(50%-70%; at the higher end of the range) in the event of payment
default.

S&P also assigned its 'B+' issue-level rating to the company's
proposed $750 million senior unsecured notes due in 2024 based on a
'6' recovery rating.  The '6' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation for negligible recovery (0%-10%) in the event of
payment default.

The rating on Conduent is based on the company's global scale,
focus on business restructuring to pursue growth in targeted
service markets, and recent operating weakness.  The rating also
reflects the company's significant leverage including $2.2 billion
in new debt, which will fund a $1.9 billion distribution to Xerox
upon separation of the two companies scheduled for Dec. 31, 2016,
as well as $400 million cash to Conduent's balance sheet and pay
fees.

Key credit risks include intense competition in its core markets
from larger, well-capitalized competitors including Accenture plc
and several India-based technology services companies, margin
declines over the last few years, and struggles to re-establish
operating growth and minimize contract exit and restructuring
costs.  These risks are partially offset by its established
presence in several growing business process outsourcing (BPO)
markets, including electronic tolling services and electronic
health care payments, its largely recurring service fee revenue
base, and modest capital expenditure requirements.  Post spin-off,
Conduent's leverage will be in the high-3x area.  Given Conduent's
established presence with a broad roster of governmental and
commercial clients, S&P believes the company will gradually improve
recent operating weakness and maintain its moderate financial
policy.  Conduent reports its business in the following segments:
public sector (26% of 2015 revenue), consisting mainly of
transportation-related services for governments and municipalities;
health care (26%), which includes services for both private
companies and government entities; and commercial (44%), which
includes all other industries and is largely related to customer
care services.  Legacy businesses including student loan servicing
and government health enterprises account for the remaining 4% of
revenue.

Conduent, largely the remaining businesses of Affiliated Computer
Services, which Xerox acquired in 2010, is a provider of BPO
services with more than $6.5 billion in annual revenue and a global
footprint of 290 service delivery centers around the world.  In
late 2015, Xerox implemented a restructuring program designed to
take out $700 million in costs by 2018.  S&P expects savings from
this program will mostly be reinvested in research and development
and acquisitions, such that operating margins and leverage
gradually improve over 2017.

The ongoing changes to the business have recently affected
Conduent'st operating performance.  EBITDA margins declined to less
than 10% in 2015 before rebounding around 100 basis points (bps) in
the first nine months of 2016, from around 13% in 2013. This
decline can be attributed to Conduent's decision to exit the
student loan business, pricing pressure, restructuring costs, and
investments in its Medicaid platform (which the company is now
de-emphasizing).  In 2015, Conduent concluded that it would not
complete the development of next generation Medicaid platforms for
California and Montana and incurred a significant on-time charge of
$389 million related to asset impairment and contract settlement.
In its most recent quarter ended Sept. 30, 2016, Conduent indicated
that it experienced delays in the implementation of New York's
Medicaid platform.  While the company indicated that it continues
to implement this platform, S&P now expects this contract will
impair its operating performance.

S&P expects Conduent to focus on growing market segments in which
it has good market share and providing differentiated solutions.
Conduent has a leading position in several fast-growing niche
markets; by S&P's estimates, Conduent is the largest provider of
government prepaid card payment services and the second-largest
U.S. electronic toll collection service provider.  S&P expects
Conduent will prioritize pursuit of higher profit contracts, which
will likely result in below market revenue growth and lower revenue
retention rates since the company will not bid aggressively on less
profitable contracts.

S&P's view of Conduent's financial risk profile is based on its
forecast that the firm will maintain adjusted leverage slightly
below 4.0x in 2016 will gradually reduce leverage to the mid-3x
area through EBITDA growth in 2017.  For 2017, S&P expects the
company will generate free cash flow (FCF) of around $200 million.

S&P's base case assumes:

   -- Real global GDP growth of 3.2% in 2016 and 3.6% in 2017.

   -- U.S. GDP growth of 1.5% in 2016 and 2.4% in 2017.

   -- Annual global information technology (IT) spending growth in

      the low-single-digit percentages in 2016.

   -- Flat to low-single-digit revenue growth of the technology
      services market in 2016.  Low-single-digit revenue decline
      in 2017 at Conduent, below global GDP growth, reflecting
      weak recent new contract signings as well as the continued
      declines in the student loan servicing and Medicaid
      business.  In 2018, S&P expects growth in low-single digits
      with improved sales execution.  EBITDA margins will improve
      by about 125 bps to 12% in fiscal 2017 and 13.3% in fiscal
      2018 as Conduent cuts costs through its restructuring
      program, focuses on more profitable new business, and
      reduces expenditures related to its Medicaid platform
      development, with only a modest ramp up of incremental
      business growth investments in 2017.

   -- Capital expenditures around 3% of revenue.

   -- No shareholder returns (neither dividends nor share
      buyback).

   -- Small number of acquisitions in 2017, growing in 2018 as the

      company builds FCF.

Based on these assumptions, S&P arrives at these credit measures
over the coming year:

   -- Adjusted leverage in the mid-3x area at the end of fiscal
      2017, declining to the low-3x area by the end of fiscal
      2018.

   -- FCF of $200 million in 2017 and FCF to debt of about 10%.

S&P views Conduent's liquidity as adequate.  For the next 12
months, sources of cash are likely to exceed uses, and S&P expects
net sources to remain positive, even if the company's EBITDA
declines by 15%.

Principal liquidity sources:

   -- Cash balance of $400 million post spin-off;
   -- Full availability under its proposed $750 million revolver;
      and
   -- Annual cash flow from operations of over $375 million.

Principal liquidity uses:

   -- Annual capex requirements of about 2%-3% of sales or
      $150 million-$200 million;

   -- Less than $100 million in acquisitions in 2017; and

   -- Debt amortization of about $10 million in 2017 and $65
      million in 2018.

Covenants

S&P expects Conduent's revolver and term loan A will have a maximum
net leverage covenant initially set at 4.25x that steps down to
3.75x on Dec. 31, 2018.  S&P expects Conduent will maintain EBITDA
cushion above 20% over 2017.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectation for sustained
revenue declines at least through 2017, execution risk related to
the spin-off and the restructuring plan, and continued costs to
operating growth and exit certain government enterprise health care
contracts.

S&P could lower the rating if a deterioration in operating
performance results in the inability to stabilize revenues in 2017,
the company sees less EBITDA margin improvement than S&P is
currently expecting, or more aggressive financial policies,
including debt-financed acquisitions or shareholder returns, cause
debt to EBITDA to stay above 4x.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable over the next year if it
sees evidence of revenue stabilization and EBITDA growth, which
would indicate progress toward a return to operating growth, while
the company maintains adjusted debt to EBITDA below 4x.


CONSTELLATION ENTERPRISES: Seeks Case Dismissal
-----------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that Constellation Enterprises filed
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion for an order authorizing
dismissal of the Debtors' cases. The motion explains, "Having
conducted a lengthy and thorough marketing process, the Debtors
have successfully closed the transaction for the assets of Debtor
Columbus Castings Company ('CSC'), and are in the process of
closing the going-concern sale of the remaining Debtors (the 'CE
Star Transaction').  Through the closing of the sale, the Debtors'
wind-down expenses will be funded.  To effectuate the closing on
the CE Star Transaction, the Debtors have filed contemporaneously
herewith a Rule 9019 motion seeking to approve a settlement of
certain environmental and regulatory matters related to Debtor
Jorgensen Forge Company (the 'JFC Settlement').  Although the
Debtors' sale process has been a success, there is simply no
prospect of being able to confirm a chapter 11 plan in these cases.
Accordingly, by this Motion, the Debtors seek Court approval of
the Dismissal Order authorizing the dismissal of these chapter 11
cases under certification of counsel following the consummation of
the CE Star Transaction, and certain other conditions…  The
Debtors believe dismissal is warranted because it will provide an
orderly end to these chapter 11 cases and is in the best interest
of the Debtors' creditors and estates.  Following consummation of
the CE Star Transaction, there will be no business left to
reorganize and nothing of value left in the Debtors' estates that
would warrant the continuation of these cases.  The Debtors believe
that the alternative to dismissal --conversion of these chapter 11
cases to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code -- would lead to a
negative outcome for these cases and is unwarranted because
conversion would, among other things, create additional
administrative expenses without any benefit to creditors."  The
Court scheduled a Nov. 22, 2016 hearing on the motion.

CRAIG WALKER: Examiner Selling Pastel Road for $319,000
-------------------------------------------------------
C. Randel Lewis, the Examiner for the Craig J. Walker and Susan Ann
Walker, and the Walker III-Voss, LLC bankruptcy cases, asks the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado to authorize the
sale of the Debtors' 100% membership interests in 13817 Pastel
Road, LLC to Jeffrey A. Walker for $319,000.

The Debtors' assets include 100% ownership of Pastel Road, a
Colorado limited liability company owned entirely by debtor Susan
Ann Walker.  Pastel Road owns single-family, residential real
estate known as 13817 Pastel Road in Parker, Colorado.  Pastel Road
owns the property free and clear of mortgages; the Debtors' adult
son, the Buyer, paid approximately $90,000 of the initial purchase
price and he lives in the property.  The Buyer also has paid Pastel
Road regularly on two promissory notes related to the property.
Pastel Road has accumulated those funds, which total approximately
$23,000 after payment of various final expenses related to the
Property.  The Examiner is informed and believes that Pastel Road
has no third-party creditors, nor any intercompany obligations
among the Debtors' other businesses.

In order to facilitate the liquidation of estate assets, the
Examiner and the Buyer have entered into a Membership Interest
Purchase and Sale Agreement.  Under the Agreement, the Buyer will
pay $319,000 to the Debtors' estate in exchange for the 100%
membership interest in Pastel Road.  The estate will also receive
the remaining cash on hand in the Pastel Road bank account.  The
two promissory notes will be deemed paid in full as part of the
transaction.

A copy of the Agreement attached to the Motion is available for
free at:

          http://bankrupt.com/misc/Craig_Walker_822_Sales.pdf

The Examiner has evaluated the fair market value of the Property
and believes that the transaction with the Buyer is reasonable
given the potential for litigation concerning Buyer's initial,
purchase money equitable lien.  The Agreement will facilitate
liquidation of the estate's interest in Pastel Road, and will allow
the estate to recover net proceeds that are not otherwise
encumbered by creditors' lien claims. Although the Buyer is an
insider of the Debtors under the Bankruptcy Code, the transaction
has been negotiated at arms' length with the Examiner.  Overall,
approval of the Agreement is reasonable and appropriate under the
circumstances.

The Examiner believes that the estate's interest in Pastel Road is
not encumbered by any liens, claims, or interest, but a free and
clear sale is appropriate under Section 363(f)(2) if the holder of
a purported interest consents.

DIRECTBUY HOLDINGS: Has Interim Approval to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Christopher S. Sontchi on Nov. 4, 2016, entered an interim
order authorizing DirectBuy Holdings, Inc. and its affiliated
debtors to use cash collateral pending a final hearing on the
Debtors' motion.

The Debtors are authorized to use cash collateral on an interim
basis for (i) working capital purposes; (ii) other general
corporate purposes; and (ii) the satisfaction of the costs and
expenses of administering the Chapter 11 cases in accordance with
the approved budget.

The final hearing is scheduled for Nov. 28, 2016 at 1:00 p.m.
prevailing Eastern Time.

Pursuant to a Senior Secured Notes Indenture, among DirectBuy
Holdings, Inc., as issuer and each of the Debtors as guarantors,
and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as trustee and
collateral agent, DirectBuy Holdings issued 12% Senior Secured
Notes due 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $335 million.

U.S. Bank, as prepetition collateral agent, has a security interest
in substantially all of their assets, including, without
limitation, investment property and general intangibles, except for
leasehold interests, cash and cash equivalents for merchandise
deposits, and membership fees by the Debtors.  The Debtors were
indebted to the Pre-Petition Secured Parties in the approximate
amount of $144,678,184 as of the bankruptcy filing.

As adequate protection, U.S. Bank is granted:

     (1) allowed superpriority administrative expense claims;

     (2) valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected,
non-voidable first priority liens on and security interests in all
prepetition and post-petition acquired property and assets of the
Debtors;

DOOR TO DOOR: Wants $1-Mil. DIP Loan from Bennet Dorrance Trust
---------------------------------------------------------------
Door to Door Storage, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Washington for authorization to use cash
collateral, as well as to approve a post-petition loan facility
from the Bennett Dorrance Trust Dated April 21, 1989, as Amended.

The Debtor leases over 400,000 square feet of space across its 9
leased facilities and stores customers' containers in those leased
facilities.  The leased facilities are located in Seattle, Austin,
Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles North, Los Angeles Metro, San Diego,
San Francisco, and Washington D.C.  More than 6,600 of the Debtor's
customers' storage is placed in the Leased Facility Storage.

The Debtor operates out of 10 co-locations under a Master Services
Agreement with Graebel Companies, Inc., paying Graebel Companies
for storage space on a per square foot basis with addition per
touch service fees.  The Co-Location Storage houses the containers
of approximately 1,400 of the Debtor's customers.

The Debtor also maintains storage capability through relationships
with approximately 30 active affiliate-operated locations
nationwide.  In these locations, a third-party affiliate owns and
maintains space in which the Debtor contracts to store customer
containers and some of its empty containers.  The Debtor currently
stores the goods of approximately 150 customers in the Branch
Affiliate Storage Locations.

The Debtor owes JP Morgan Chase approximately $4 million secured by
a first position security interest in virtually all of the Debtor's
assets.  The Debtor contends that the loan has not matured and that
all scheduled payments have been made when due.

Pacific Office Automation asserts security interests in the
Debtor's equipment and software.  CB Luna Industrial No. 4, Ltd.
asserted a security interest in a real property lease, which was
terminated as of October 31, 2016.

The Debtor  relates that without the use of cash collateral, it
will be unable to pay its ongoing operating expenses, including
payroll, and will be unable to continue ongoing business
operations.

The Debtor proposes to grant the Secured Parties, specifically JP
Morgan Chase, with liens in assets of the same kind, type, and
nature as the pre-petition collateral in which such Secured Party
held a lien that is acquired after the Petition Date, and all
proceeds of the post-petition collateral.  The Debtor further
proposes to grant all obligations subject to the post-petition
liens with priority in payment over all other administrative
expenses of the estate other than the Professional Fund, to the
extent that the post-petition liens are insufficient to compensate
the Secured Creditors for any diminution in the value of their
interests as a result of the Debtor's use of cash collateral.

The Professional Fund, which is included in the Debtor's proposed
Budget, provides for the payment of the post-petition, allowed fees
and costs of all professionals retained in the Chapter 11 case,
whether by the Debtor or an unsecured creditors committee, if one
is formed.

The Debtor tells the Court that in addition to the use of cash
collateral, it is necessary for it to borrow funds on a
postpetition basis in order to meet the projected expenditures as
set forth in its proposed Budget.

The material terms, among others, of the DIP Loan from The Bennet
Dorrance Trust are:

     (1) Loan Amount: $1,000,000, of which $150,000 is earmarked
for retention payments to the Debtor’s employees, to the extent
approved by the Court.

     (2) Maturity Date: Earlier of:

          (a) December 31, 2017;

          (b) confirmation of Debtor’s Chapter 11 Plan;

          (c) sale of all or substantially all of the Borrower’s
assets;

          (d) appointment of a Trustee in this Case; or

          (e) conversion of the case to a case under Chapter 7.

     (3) Interest Rate: 5% per annum, paid monthly in arrears.

     (4) Fees: None

     (5) Collateral: Security interest in the Debtor’s assets
junior to the security interest of JP Morgan Chase, including any
adequate protection liens granted JP Morgan Chase in connection
with proposed use of cash collateral.

represented by Armand J. Kornfeld, Esq., at Bush Kornfeld, LLP.

Headquartered in Kent, Washington, the Debtor is in the business of
providing nationwide portable, containerized storage services in
approximately 50 locations across the United States to
approximately 8,200 customers and has 56 employees.  While the
Debtor has historically provided moving services, as well, it
recently took steps to discontinue its moving services due to
uncontrollable tariff increases that rendered that segment of its
business no longer viable.  The Debtor has filed its case in order
to complete an operational restructure around its core locations
followed by an anticipated proposed Plan of Reorganization.


EASTMAN KODAK: Moody's Affirms B3 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Eastman Kodak Company's B3
Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") and downgraded the rating on its
first lien senior secured term loan to B2 from B1, upon the
company's announcement that it reached an agreement with a group of
investors to sell $200 million in preferred shares, the proceeds of
which along with balance sheet cash will be used to redeem in full,
the company's second lien term loan. Moody's also affirmed Kodak's
SGL-2 liquidity rating indicating good liquidity. The rating
outlook is stable. At the closing of the transaction, Moody's will
withdraw the ratings on the second lien term loan.

Moody's anticipates that the transaction will reduce Kodak's funded
debt by about $262 million, and will lead to about $17 million in
annualized cash interest savings (assuming that the preferred
dividends are paid in cash). Moody's views the preferred equity
investment by the investor consortium to have certain debt-like
characteristics. Dividends will accrue and accumulate at a rate of
5.5% and are payable in cash. The preferred stock is mandatorily
redeemable at 5 years in cash, although the company has the option
to convert the preferred stock into common after two years if
common stock trades at a 125% premium to the conversion price for a
45-day period in any 60-day window. Moody's believes that Kodak
will look to fund the redemption with debt-funded cash to avoid
significant equity dilution, which could be up to 21% of the
company's shares.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B3 CFR continues to reflect concerns about the success of the
company's turnaround efforts, as new products and services have not
yet replaced the revenue and cash flow contribution from the past
declines in Kodak's entertainment imaging and consumer inkjet
businesses. There is also significant uncertainty as to the timing
of and proceeds from any potential sale of its Prosper product
line, which was previously counted on to provide a platform for
long term growth.

The turnaround prospects are also clouded by the long-term
challenges amid fierce price pressure and the ongoing decline of
printed pages. There is also limited visibility as to whether the
company's efforts to stabilize its operations and to reduce expense
will stem a further weakening of its financial condition.

Moody's estimates Kodak's adjusted debt + preferred stock/EBITDA
leverage to be in the high single digits by the end of fiscal year
2016, as it has not achieved sufficient EBITDA growth to delever,
while the high net pension liabilities weigh on adjusted debt.

The downgrade of the first lien senior secured term loan is driven
by the elimination of the loss absorption that the second lien term
loan provided to the first lien senior secured creditor class,
which also ranks behind the asset-based liquidity ("ABL") revolver
lenders. Although the overall debt capital structure benefits from
a substitution of the new preferred equity instrument for the
second lien term loan, the ratings for the debt instruments reflect
both the overall probability of default of Kodak, at B3-PD, and the
average loss recovery for the company. The B2 rating on the $402
million first lien senior secured term loan reflects its priority
lien on all property and assets (excluding current assets) and a
second priority lien on all current assets securing Kodak's $150
million ABL revolver. The rating incorporates a one notch downward
override from the loss given default template implied rating,
reflecting the uncertainty as to the amount and treatment of the
pension underfundings in a possible default scenario.

Kodak's liquidity rating of SGL-2 reflects Moody's view of the
company's expected good liquidity position over the next 12 to 18
months. This is supported by high cash balances - $513 million at
June 30, 2016, although $240 million of that total was held
overseas, and about $62 million of the cash balances will be used
to redeem the second lien term loan. The cash balances should
support working capital swings along with expectations of modest
free cash flow in 2017. The company has a $150 million ABL revolver
(unrated). The ABL revolver had about $30 million of net
availability as of June 30, 2016 and the company had outstanding
letters of credit of $118 million.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Kodak's
operating performance will continue improving despite the prospect
for further revenue declines in 2016 from legacy units.

To be upgraded, Kodak will need to generate revenue and
profitability growth, with healthy conversion to free cash flow and
EBIT margins sustained above 4%. The company will also need to
improve credit metrics such that adjusted debt + preferred
stock/EBITDA falls below 5.0 times on a consistent basis. Kodak's
ratings could be downgraded if further execution of its turnaround
plan is not successful or its new product initiatives do not gain
traction resulting in further deterioration in revenues,
profitability, cash flow or liquidity.

The following are the rating actions:

   -- First lien senior secured term loan -- Downgraded to B2
      (LGD 3) from B1 (LGD 2)

   -- Corporate Family Rating -- Affirmed B3

   -- Probability of Default Rating -- Affirmed B3-PD

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity -- Affirmed SGL-2

   -- The rating outlook is stable

Eastman Kodak Company, based in Rochester, NY, provides printing
and imaging technology products and services to commercial
printing, digital printing, packaging and entertainment imaging
markets.

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


ECLIPSE RESOURCES: Incurs $26.8 Million Net Loss in Third Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Eclipse Resources Corporation filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing
a net loss of $26.80 million on $54.47 million of total revenues
for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2016, compared to a net loss
of $81.46 million on $71.17 million of total revenues for the three
months ended Sept. 30, 2015.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2016, the Company reported a
net loss of $140.49 million on $151.15 million of total revenues
compared to a net loss of $157.54 million on $189.43 million of
total revenues for the same period during the prior year.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Eclipse Resources had $1.20 billion in total
assets, $593.65 million in total liabilities and $609.33 million in
total stockholders' equity.

"As of September 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all of our
debt covenants under the Credit Agreement governing our Revolving
Credit Facility and the Indenture governing our 8.875% Senior
Unsecured Notes due 2023.  Further, based on our current forecast
and activity levels, we expect to remain in compliance with all
such debt covenants for the next twelve months.  However, if oil
and natural gas prices remain at current levels for longer than we
expect, or fall to lower levels, we are likely to generate lower
operating cash flows, which would make it more difficult for us to
remain in compliance with all of our debt covenants, including
requirements with respect to working capital and interest coverage
ratios.  This could negatively impact our ability to maintain
sufficient liquidity and access to capital resources."

                    About Eclipse Resources

Eclipse Resources Corporation is an independent exploration and
production company engaged in the acquisition and development of
oil and natural gas properties in the Appalachian Basin.  As of
Dec. 31, 2015, the Company had assembled an acreage position
approximating 220,000 net acres in Eastern Ohio.

The Company reported a net loss of $971 million in 2015, a net loss
of $183 million in 2014 and a net loss of $43.5 million in 2013.

                         *   *    *

As reported by the TCR on July 11, 2016, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded Eclipse Resources Corporation's Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) to Caa1 from Caa2 and Probability of Default Rating to
Caa1-PD from Caa2-PD.  "The upgrade to Caa1 reflects Eclipse's
improved liquidity and good visibility to fund a more robust
drilling program through 2017 than we had previously anticipated,
largely the result of $123 million in proceeds raised from its
equity issuance.  With considerable cash balances and improving
cash margins on its production, Eclipse is poised to return to a
production growth trajectory that should allow for meaningful
deleveraging," noted John Thieroff, Moody's VP-Senior Analyst.

In June 2016, S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating
on State College, Pa.-based Eclipse Resources Inc. to 'CCC+' from
'CC'.  "The rating action reflects our opinion that Eclipse is
unlikely to pursue further distressed debt transactions given the
lack of bondholders' appetite for a distressed exchange--as
demonstrated by the early termination of the company's exchange
offer in February--and the increase in its bond price over the past
three months," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Christine
Besset.

ERICKSON INC: S&P Lowers Rating to 'D' on Chapter 11 Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it has downgraded Erickson Inc. to 'D'
from 'CCC-' and removed all of its ratings on the company from
CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on
Nov. 8, 2016.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's second-lien senior secured notes to 'D' from 'CCC-'.  The
'4' recovery rating remains unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation
for average (30%-50%; upper half of the range) recovery in a
payment default scenario.

"The 'D' rating reflects Erickson's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing,"
said S&P Global credit analyst Jeff Ward. "Erickson plans to
continue to operate while it develops a reorganization plan and
expects that it will emerge from bankruptcy in 2017."

"We are not revising our recovery rating on the company's
second-lien senior secured notes at this time because we do not yet
have all of the necessary information about the company's planned
bankruptcy debt capital structure.  However, the company has stated
that it is seeking $180 million of debtor-in-possession financing.
The company also expects to enter into a creditor support agreement
with certain of its existing lenders that would provide it with
approximately $60 million in new financing.  This additional debt
could weaken the recovery prospects for Erickson's second-lien
notes and may lead us to revise our recovery rating when we receive
sufficient information to complete our analysis," S&P said.



ESCALERA RESOURCES: Committee Seeks Ch. 11 Trustee Appointment
--------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that Escalera Resources' official
committee of unsecured filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a
motion seeking the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee. The motion
explains, "In this case, the appointment of a trustee is warranted
and in the best interest of creditors because there has been no
progress made towards any resolution of the case.  By a simple
review of the docket, one can ascertain that no progress has been
made.  The Debtor has not filed a Plan, a motion to sell its assets
or establish a sale process, an application to employ an investment
banker to assist in a sale process or any other pleading which
would give any indication that the Debtor has any plan to
re-organize or for any other disposition of the case.  The Debtor
has lost millions of dollars during its bankruptcy case and
continues to lose money each month. The Debtor's delay in putting
together a plan or making a decision on the direction of its case
is harmful and is detrimental to creditors.  When this case was
filed, the Debtor had a term sheet for a plan and told the court
and parties in interest that it planned to exit in bankruptcy
within 90 days.  After the initial plan lost the support of the
Debtor's lender, the Debtor has failed to make any progress and has
not been able to move forward in any direction at all.  If a
trustee were to be appointed, a trustee could evaluate the options
for the estate and make a decision as to the best course of action
going forward so that some progress could be made.  The stagnation
and lack of progress is harmful to creditors and benefits no one."

of the Pension Plan together with the settlement of the underlying
pension liabilities achieved our goal of reducing our obligations
to levels that allow the business to be viable.  As a result, we
believe existing liquidity resources and funds generated from
forecasted revenue will be sufficient to meet our current and
long-term obligations.  We continue to operate in a rapidly
evolving and often unpredictable business environment that may
change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and
expenditures."

EVOSHIELD LLC: Selling All Assets to Wilson for $7.9M
-----------------------------------------------------
EvoShield, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Georgia to authorize the sale of substantially all
assets to Wilson Sporting Goods Co. for $7,982,000.

The Debtor retained an investment banker and conducted an extensive
process for offering for sale EvoShield's assets to interested
parties during 2016.  Initially, approximately 80 institutional,
strategic and individual investors were contacted and encouraged to
make an offer for the assets.  Of the offers received in the
initial process EvoShield received two offers deemed by the Board
of Directors to be of superior value.

One such offer was an offer to acquire the assets of EvoShield for
$14,000,000 million, subject to a 30-day due diligence process.
The other offer came from Dugout Ventures, LLC ("DV"), the
Respondent and the current and only secured creditor of EvoShield,
and contained an offer to acquire the equity of EvoShield at an
enterprise value of $18,500,000, provided DV could effect the
merger of EvoShield into another company in which DV claimed to
hold 24% equity interest.  Unfortunately, notwithstanding granting
multiple extensions to DV to affect the merger, DV could not close
the merger despite having nearly 75 days to do so.

EvoShield negotiated an amended loan agreement with DV that gave DV
one more opportunity to complete its merger.  The amended loan
agreement was signed on Sept. 6, 2016, and set forth in a Master
Debt Restructuring and Amendment Agreement ("Restructuring
Agreement").  The Restructuring Agreement gave DV one more
opportunity to complete the proposed merger with the third-party
company in which it held a 24% interest.  DV also agreed not to
foreclose on the Company if the merger did not happen, but instead
mandated that the Company be sold through a second controlled
investment-banker-led auction process whereby multiple potential
bidders would be solicited by the Consensus Companies, provided
with updated due diligence materials and a draft Asset Purchase
Agreement.  The terms of the Restructuring Agreement allowed the
second process to continue so long as at least one executable Asset
Purchase Agreement was received by Oct. 21, 2016 in an amount
greater than all amounts due and owing to DV, provided that the
best such offer was closed by Oct. 31, 2016 – the last date on
which DV would allow its funds to be available to EvoShield.

The second auction process was required under the terms of the
Restructuring Agreement if EvoShield wanted to avoid foreclosure
and, as required under EvoShield's Operating Agreement was
authorized by the Board of Directors and had received the consent
of its members to the prescribed process after notice.  The only
offer that substantially conformed to the approved auction process
was the offer made by Wilson on October 20.  Between submission of
its offer on October 20 and execution of the definitive agreement
on Oct. 26, 2016, Wilson, after further negotiations, provided
additional consideration of $1,919,000 consisting of $1,200,000 in
cash, approximately $369,000 in the assumption of sales commissions
and $350,000 in non-compete payments consisting of $250,000 to
EvoShield's President, Mike Van Alstyne and $100,000 to EvoShield's
Chief Financial Officer, Russ Allen.

On Oct. 26, 2016, the Debtor and the Buyer entered into an Asset
Purchase Agreement ("Wilson APA").  Under the terms of the Wilson
APA, Wilson agreed to purchase substantially all the assets of
EvoShield at a closing stipulated to occur no later than Nov. 15,
2016.

A copy of the Wilson APA attached to the Motion is available for
free at:

          http://bankrupt.com/misc/EvoShield_LLC_8_Sales.pdf

The value of the Wilson APA to Debtor is in excess of $11,000,000.
Specifically, under the terms of the Wilson APA Wilson is paying a
cash purchase price of $7,982,000, $782,000 of which is to be
deposited with a Tax Escrow Agent for payment of taxes pursuant to
a Tax Payment Agreement.  In addition to the purchase price, Wilson
is assuming certain Assumed Liabilities.  The Assumed Liabilities
is a total $1,652,418.  In addition, Wilson has obtained the
consents from the Parker Contracts and EvoShield's landlord at its
distribution facility at 200 Whitehead Road in Bogart, Georgia to
assign their agreements with EvoShield.  The Parker Contracts
relieve EvoShield from a $900,000 payment due March 1, 2017.  Upon
assignment of the lease of the facility at closing EvoShield will
be relieved of future obligations under EvoShield's triple net
warehouse lease which average over $25,000 per month.

Additionally, Mr. Van Alstyne has agreed to a noncompete agreement
with Wilson effective upon closing with a $250,000 payment.  Under
the terms of this agreement, Mr. Van Alstyne is foregoing any
rights under his employment contract with Debtor which Mr. Van
Alstyne asserts is $300,000. Similarly, Mr. Allen, has agreed to a
noncompete agreement with Wilson effective upon closing with a
$100,000 payment.  Under the terms of this agreement, Mr. Allen is
foregoing any rights under his employment contract with Debtor
which Mr. Allen asserts is $150,000.  Finally, a prompt closing
will relieve the Debtor of the need to fund continuing operating
losses which have been and continue to be substantial, totaling in
excess of $1,000,000 over the last 90 days.

The Debtor is not requesting authority to assume and assign any
lease or executory contract to Wilson under 11 U.S.C Section 365.
Accordingly, the assignment of any contract scheduled in the Wilson
APA is subject to consent of the counterparty.

Prompt consummation of the sale to Wilson on the terms set forth in
the APA will avoid the additional administrative expenses that
would arise in the bankruptcy case should the Court decline to
authorize the sale on an expedited basis. There is substantial risk
that the Debtor's estate will be administratively insolvent and
that unsecured creditors will get no payment if the Wilson APA is
not approved. According, the Debtor asks that the Court approve the
sale of assets to Wilson under the terms of the Wilson APA.

The Debtor asks that the Court authorize the Debtor to pay the
following at closing from the $7,200,000: (i) $5,000,000 to satisfy
the principal amount owed to DV without prejudice to the Debtor's
and any third party to pursue any claim against DV and its
principals or affiliates or any joint tortfeasor, including without
limitation, any avoidance claims; (ii) $443,483 to pay Consensus
Advisors, LLC and Consensus Securities, LLC, EvoShield's financial
advisor retained by EvoShield pre-petition whose efforts directly
resulted in the execution of the Wilson APA; and (iii) any ad
valorem personal property taxes (including any proration at
closing) or transfer taxes.

EvoShield further asks that from the remaining funds that $500,000
be held in escrow with the lien of DV to attach to secure any
additional fees, charges and expenses of DV, and that the remaining
funds, which would be $1,256,517 less payment of ad valorem and
transfer taxes at closing, be available to EvoShield to use in the
operations in the ordinary course of its business subject to a
continuing lien in favor of DV, to the same extent and with the
same priority and subject to the same defenses, objections, and
rights of avoidance that would otherwise exist.

The Debtor asks that the provisions of the Wilson APA providing for
a tax escrow, Tax Escrow Agreement, Tax Escrow Agent and Tax
Payment Agreement be authorized and approved.

Finally, the Debtor asks that the Court allow the sale to be
consummated immediately as authorized by Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h).

of 11 U.S.C. Section 362 be modified to permit the implementation
of the sale and the relief accorded by any order approving the sale
including stay relief to any recipient of any payment as a result
of the sale and to permit payment of sales taxes under the terms of
the tax escrow established under the Wilson APA.

EXIDE TECHNOLOGIES: Insurers Sue to Avoid Liability
---------------------------------------------------
Matthew Guarnaccia, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that XL
Insurance America Inc. and St. Paul Fire And Marine Insurance Co.
-- two insurers for Exide Technologies Inc. -- launched a lawsuit
in California federal court on Nov. 8, 2016, looking to duck as
much as $1 billion in coverage for personal liability claims
stemming from pollution at an Exide automotive battery recycling
plant, saying they owe no duty to the alleged victims.  The
insurers said they are not responsible for covering the lawsuits by
residents living near Exide's Vernon, California recycling plant,
which allegedly contaminated the air and groundwater.

FIRST DATA: Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $132 Million
------------------------------------------------------------
First Data Corporation reported net income attributable to the
Corporation of $132 million on $2.93 billion of total revenues for
the three months ended Sept. 30, 2016, compared to a net loss
attributable to the Corporation of $126 million on $2.92 billion of
total revenues for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2015.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2016, the Company reported net
income attributable to the Corporation of $228 million on $8.64
billion of total revenues compared to a net loss attributable to
the Corporation of $264 million on $8.48 billion of total revenues
for the same period a year ago.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, First Data had $34.44 billion in total
assets, $30.39 billion in total liabilities and $3.97 billion in
total equity.

"We are pleased to report another quarter of solid cash generation

merchant business, continued success with enterprise clients and
strong growth in non-U.S. revenue," Bisignano added.

months of 2015.  The first nine months of 2016 cash flow from

first nine months of 2016, free cash flow was $946 million, up $948
million from $(2) million in the first nine months of 2015. The
increase in year-to-date free cash flow was primarily driven by a
$571 million reduction in cash interest payments and $153 million
growth in total segment EBITDA. The first nine months of 2016 free
cash flow excludes the impact of the aforementioned
reclassification.

Total borrowings at Sept. 30, 2016, were reduced to $18.9 billion,
from $19.1 billion at June 30, 2016, and $19.6 billion at year end
2015.  Net debt at Sept. 30, 2016, was reduced to $18.5 billion,
from $19.0 billion at June 30, 2016, and $19.3 billion at year end
2015.

On Oct. 14, 2016, First Data refinanced approximately $4.5 billion
of term loans due in 2021, which reduced the interest rate on these
loans by 100 basis points from LIBOR plus 400 basis points to LIBOR
plus 300 basis points, resulting in annualized cash interest
savings of approximately $45 million.

First Data estimates 2016 full year cash interest expense of
approximately $1.0 billion.

GAWKER MEDIA: Former Editor Court Go It Alone in Hulk Hogan Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Randles, writing for The Wall Street Journal Pro
Bankruptcy, reported that the lawyer of A.J. Daulerio, the former
Gawker editor who published excerpts of former professional
wrestler Hulk Hogan's sex tape, said the Mr. Daulerio could go it
alone in an appeal challenging the $140 million invasion-of-privacy
judgment that raised First Amendment questions and drove the
publisher into bankruptcy earlier this year.

According to WSJ, Mr. Daulerio's lawyers asked a Florida appeals
court to give him until after the bankruptcy of Gawker Media Group
is largely resolved before deciding whether he wants to continue
with the appeal alone.  Proceeding with the legal challenge
individually would allow another court to review the judgment,
which Gawker maintains would be either overturned or reduced on
appeal because the company contended that publication of the Hulk
Hogan video is constitutionally protected, the report related.

The ruling has elicited controversy in part because the lawsuit was
secretly underwritten by Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel,
the report further related.  Whether it sets a dangerous precedent
for journalism has been the subject of debate, WSJ noted, although
Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the University of California, Irvine
School of Law and a First Amendment scholar, said he didn't believe
the judgment will chill the media.

The possibility of Mr. Daulerio challenging the judgment on his own
came about after a proposed settlement announced between Hulk
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, and the Gawker bankruptcy
estate, the report said.  The deal would see Gawker pay Mr. Bollea
$31 million plus an additional amount, to be determined at a later
date, to settle the legal battle with the company, the report
noted.

If Mr. Daulerio approves, he would be released from $115 million in
compensatory damages that he and Gawker founder Nick Denton are
jointly liable for, Mr. Daulerio's attorney, David Marburger, told
WSJ.  But the deal wouldn't erase $100,000 in punitive damages he
is facing, which would maintain Mr. Daulerio's legal standing to
try to overturn the judgment in the Florida appeals courts, Mr.
Marburger further told WSJ.

GIGA-TRONICS INC: Receives Noncompliance Notice from NASDAQ
-----------------------------------------------------------
Giga-tronics Incorporated received on Nov. 1, 2016, a letter from
The NASDAQ Stock Market informing the Company that for the last 30
consecutive business days the bid price of the Company's common
stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for
continued inclusion under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).  The letter
stated that NASDAQ will provide the Company a grace period of 180
calendar days, or until May 1, 2017, to regain compliance.  To
regain compliance, any time before May 1, 2017, the bid price of
the Company's common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more
for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

                     About Giga-Tronics

Headquartered in San Ramon, California, Giga-tronics Incorporated
includes the operations of the Giga-tronics Division and
Microsource Inc. (Microsource), a wholly owned subsidiary.
Giga-tronics Division designs, manufactures and markets the new
Advanced Signal Generator (ASG) for the electronic warfare market,
and switching systems that are used in automatic testing systems
primarily in aerospace, defense and telecommunications.

                          Going Concern

The Company incurred net losses of $4.1 million and $1.7 million in
the fiscal years ended March 26, 2016 and March 28, 2015,
respectively.  These losses have contributed to an accumulated
deficit of $24.0 million as of March 26, 2016.

The Company has experienced delays in the development of features,
orders, and shipments for the new ASG.  These delays have
significantly contributed to a decrease in working capital from
$3.0 million at March 28, 2015, to $1.8 million at March 26, 2016.
The new ASG product has now shipped to several customers, but
potential delays in the development of features, longer than
anticipated sales cycles, or the ability to efficiently manufacture
the ASG, could significantly contribute to additional future losses
and decreases in working capital.

To help fund operations, the Company relies on advances under the
line of credit with Bridge Bank.  The line of credit expires on May
7, 2017.  The agreement includes a subjective acceleration clause,
which allows for amounts due under the facility to become
immediately due in the event of a material adverse change in the
Company's business condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
properties or prospects, or ability to repay the credit based on
the lender's judgement.  As of March 26, 2016, the line of credit
had a balance of $800,000, and additional borrowing capacity of
$906,000.

These matters, the Company said, raise substantial doubt as to its
ability to continue as a going concern.


GOLFSMITH INT'L: Court Approves Asset Sale to Dick's Sporting
-------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued
an order approving Golfsmith International Holdings' motion for
entry of an order (i) approving bidding procedures for the sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets, scheduling an auction for
and hearing to approve the sale of the Debtors' assets and (ii)
approving the sale of substantially all of the Debtors' assets free
and clear of liens, claims, interests and encumbrances.  The order
states, "Upon consideration of the motion of bidding procedures . .
. the Debtors, Dick's Sporting Goods, the purchaser and a joint
venture consisting of Hilco Merchant Resources, Tiger Capital Group
and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, collectively the JV Agent (to
act as the Debtors' exclusive agent to conduct sales) . . .  and
the transaction represented by the Agency Agreement and APA having
been determined to be the highest and best offer for the
Merchandise, the Owned FF&E and the Acquired Assets, and a hearing
having been held on October 5, 2016 . . . it is found and
determined that the sale is approved. The Agency Agreement and APA,
including the form and total consideration to be realized by the
Debtors pursuant to the Agency Agreement and APA, constitute the
highest and best offer received by the Debtors for the Merchandise,
the Owned FF&E and the Acquired assets, are fair and reasonable and
are in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates and their
creditors and all other parties in interest."  As previously
reported, "A critical juncture for the Debtors' business commences
in early November: The Debtors will need to both order a
significant amount of new inventory for their stores in advance of
the end-of-year holiday season, and to start to prepare their
stores to execute their holiday season sales strategy.  Approving a
sale of the Debtors' assets to a going concern bidder before
November will allow the Debtors' significant cash needs to be
funded by a new owner . . . .  In consultation with the
Consultation Parties, and subject to finalizing documentation, the
Debtors designated as the Successful Bidder a joint bid submitted
by Dick's Sporting Goods and a contractual joint venture of Hilco
Merchant Resources, Gordon Brothers Retail Partners and Tiger
Capital Group (the 'JV Agent' and, together with Dick's, the
'Purchaser')."

GREENVILLE REALTY: Can Use Wells Fargo Cash on Interim Basis
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Brenda T. Rhoades of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Texas authorized Greenville Realty Associates,
LP to use Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.'s cash collateral on an interim
basis.

Judge Rhoades acknowledged that an emergency need exists to allow
the Debtor to use cash collateral on an interim basis and that it
is in the best interest of the Debtor, its estate, and the Debtor's
creditors, to authorize the Debtor to use cash collateral as it is
the only means available to the Debtor to finance its operation at
the present.  Judge Rhoades further acknowledged that immediate and
irreparable harm will result if the Debtor is not permitted to use
the cash collateral in the amounts set forth in the approved
Budget.

The approved Budget provides for total expenses in the amount of
$34,100.  The Budget provides for expenses such as cleaning and
maintenance, payroll and taxes, bank fees, office supplies,
repairs, maintenance supplies, and utilities.

Wells Fargo Bank is granted replacement liens to the extent of any
diminution in the value of its interest in the cash collateral, in
accordance with its existing priority.

A further hearing on the Debtor's use of cash collateral is
scheduled on November 29, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.

GTT COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Puts B2 CFR Under Review For Downgrade
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has placed GTT Communications, Inc.'s
ratings under review for downgrade, including the company's B2
corporate family rating (CFR), B3-PD probability of default rating
(PDR), and B2 senior secured rating. The review was prompted by
GTT's agreement to purchase Hibernia Networks for $590 million. In
order to finance the transaction as well as repay existing debt,
GTT will raise approximately $1 billion in new debt. GTT will also
contribute $75 million of equity towards the purchase.

Moody's expects leverage will increase to approximately 6x (Moody's
adjusted) following deal close, with some subsequent improvement
from growth and cost synergies. This will be above Moody's prior
limit of 5x leverage for GTT's B2 rating. The transaction will
improve GTT's asset coverage and could result in higher leverage
tolerance. The focus of Moody's review will be the timeframe
required for GTT to reduce leverage back towards 5x and the
potential for slightly higher leverage given the improved asset
base. The potential cost synergies and the high-growth
characteristics of the Hibernia business could partially offset the
negative impact of GTT's incremental debt burden.

RATINGS RATIONALE

GTT's B2 CFR reflects its modest leverage, strong free cash flow
and revenue growth potential driven by the company's favorable
competitive position within its target market of international
network services. The company's low capital spending requirements
at approximately 5% of revenue and good margins result in
meaningful excess cash flows.

The company's acquisitive strategy, with 6 transactions over the
past 5 years (prior to the Hibernia transaction) and its low asset
coverage relative to its debt load constrain the rating. GTT's
strategy employs an architecture with mostly-leased infrastructure
that results in low capital intensity but could expose the company
to margin pressure if end-user pricing and network leasing cost
trends diverge over time. Because of the company's capex-light
strategy, Moody's believes that it has lower leverage tolerance
than a traditional, facilities-based carrier. Moody's does believe
that GTT's target market of international-centric services is less
dependent upon asset ownership than traditional local or regional
telecom markets. However, the international market is sufficiently
competitive that the consistent, secular decline in the cost of
long-haul network capacity should result in end-user service price
weakness. If the pace of the service price weakness outstrips the
unit cost decline of network capacity, GTT's margins could fall.
The company sources leased-infrastructure elements from multiple
providers and, due to its scale as an IP backbone provider, is able
to optimize its cost structure. However, Moody's views the risk of
margin compression as a constraint to the rating.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Communications Infrastructure Rating Methodology published in June
2011.

Based in McLean, VA., GTT Communications, Inc. is a multinational
Tier 1 internet service provider which also offers global
enterprise network services. The company operates a global IP
backbone and offers networking and cloud based solutions to its
enterprise and carrier clients. During the last twelve months
ending Sept 30, 2016, the company generated $499 million in
revenue.


GTT COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Puts 'B+' CCR on CreditWatch Negative
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it placed its 'B+' corporate credit
rating on McLean, Va.-based GTT Communications Inc. on CreditWatch
with negative implications.

In addition, S&P placed the 'B+' issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured term loan facility on CreditWatch with
negative implications.  The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; lower half of the range)
recovery in the event of payment default.

The CreditWatch placement follows the company's announcement that
it will acquire Hibernia Networks, which will result in weaker
credit metrics.  GTT plans to buy Hibernia for $590 million in a
transaction comprising $515 million in cash and approximately
$75 million in shares of GTT common stock.  S&P expects the cash
component of the transaction to be financed with additional debt.
The acquisition of Hibernia, a long-haul owner of terrestrial and
subsea assets, will increase GTT's product and customer diversity
as well as reduce costs associated with the company's leased global
network.  Nevertheless, S&P expects leverage to increase with
higher debt levels, which cost synergies could at least partly
offset after one year.

CreditWatch

S&P plans to resolve the CreditWatch placement in the coming weeks
following meetings with management to discuss the strategic
rationale for the acquisition, synergies to be achieved, and the
company's financial policy.  In the event of a downgrade, S&P
expects it would be limited to one notch.  Alternatively, S&P could
affirm the rating if it believes the strategic merits of the
acquisition offset increased leverage.  


HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND: Bank Debt Trades at 8% Off
-----------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under Hamilton Sundstrand
Industrial is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 91.77
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, November 4, 2016,
according to data compiled by LSTA/Thomson Reuters MTM Pricing.
This represents a decrease of 0.29 percentage points from the
previous week.  Hamilton Sundstrand pays 300 basis points above
LIBOR to borrow under the $1.675 billion facility. The bank loan
matures on Dec. 10, 2019 and carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard
& Poor's B rating.  The loan is one of the biggest gainers and
losers among 247 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more
bids in secondary trading for the week ended November 4.


HANCOCK FABRICS: Court Approves Pension Plan Termination Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved
Hancock Fabrics' motion for entry of an order authorizing the
Debtor to enter into an agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC) terminating the pension plan and appointing the
PBGC as statutory trustee thereof.  As previously reported, "The
PBGC issued the Company a Notice of Determination, dated May 10,
2016 (the 'Determination Notice'), indicating that (i) the Plan
will be unable to pay benefits when due under 29 U.S.C. section
1342(a)(2), (ii) it has determined that the PBGC should be
appointed as statutory trustee under 29 U.S.C. section 1342, and
(iii) it intends to proceed under 29 U.S.C. section 1348 to have
March 31, 2016 established as the termination date with respect to
the Plan. Given the cessation of the Debtors' business and the need
to provide for continuity of present and prospective retirement
pension benefits to Hancock's now-former employees, the Debtors
have determined that it is in the best interests of their estates
to have the Company enter into an agreement with the PBGC to
terminate the Plan.  Accordingly, the Company and the PBGC have
been negotiating the terms of the PBGC Agreement, which provides,
among other things, that (i) the Plan termination date shall be
March 31, 2016; and (ii) the PBGC shall be appointed as statutory
trustee of the Plan, with all of the rights and powers of a trustee
specified in ERISA or otherwise granted by law."

HEXION INC: S. Feinstein Appointed to Parent's Board of Managers
----------------------------------------------------------------
Samuel Feinstein was appointed a member of the Board of Managers of
Hexion Holdings LLC, the indirect parent of  Hexion Inc., to fill
the vacancy created by David Sambur's resignation on Nov. 2, 2016.

Mr. Feinstein, age 33, has been an investment professional in
Apollo Global Management's private equity business since 2007.  He
currently serves on the boards of CEVA Holdings LLC, Vectra Corp.
and Pinnacle Agriculture Holdings, LLC.  Within the past five
years, he has also served on the board of directors of Taminco
Corporation.  Prior to 2007, Mr. Feinstein was a member of the
Investment Banking Group at Morgan Stanley, from September 2005 to
May 2007.  Mr. Feinstein will serve on the Holdings Compensation
and Audit Committees.

                       About Hexion Inc.

headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is a producer of thermoset resins

of specialty resins for inks and specialty coatings sold to a

Hexion reported a net loss attributable to the Company of $40
million on $4.14 billion of net sales for the year ended Dec. 31,
2015, compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of $223
million on $5.13 billion of net sales for the year ended Dec. 31,
2014.

                          *     *     *

The TCR reported on Oct. 3, 2014, that Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Momentive
Specialty by one notch to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  "The downgrade
follows MSC's significant use of cash in the first half of 2014 and
our expectation that lackluster cash flow from operations and
elevated capital spending will cause free operating cash flow to be
significantly negative in 2014 and 2015," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Cynthia Werneth.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 15, 2014, Moody's Investors Service
lowered the Corporate Family Rating of Momentive to 'Caa1' from
'B3'.  "Due to elevated leverage, heavy capital spending on new
capacity in 2014 and 2015, and the lack of meaningful improvement
in financial performance, Moody's have lowered Momentive
Specialty's rating," stated John Rogers, senior vice president at
Moody's.

HOSTESS HOLDCO: Moody's Hikes Corporate Family Rating to B1
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service Inc. upgraded the Corporate Family Rating
to B1 from B2 and Probability of Default Rating to B1-PD from B2-PD
of Hostess Holdco, LLC and subsidiaries. Moody's also affirmed the
B1 ratings assigned to Hostess' $100 million first-lien revolving
credit facility and $918 million first-lien term loan. The ratings
outlook is stable.

The rating upgrades follow the completion of the previously
announced planned acquisition of Hostess by Gores Holdings, a
special purpose acquisition company. The transaction, which closed
on November 4th, 2016 resulted in a $217 million repayment of
Hostess' $300 million second-lien term loan through the use of a
portion of cash equity proceeds raised from Gores investors. The
remaining second-lien loans will be repaid using proceeds from $83
million of incremental first-lien term loans being offered to
investors today. Upon closing of the incremental financing,
expected later this month, the Caa1 second-lien term loan rating
will be withdrawn.

Moody's upgraded the following ratings of Hostess Holdco, LLC:

   -- Corporate Family Rating to B1 from B2;

   -- Probability of Default Rating to B1-PD from B2-PD.

Moody's affirmed the following ratings of Hostess Holdco, LLC and
subsidiaries:

   -- $100 million first-lien revolving credit facility expiring
      2020 at B1 (LGD 4);

   -- $918 million first-lien term loan maturing 2022 at B1 (LGD
      4) (to be expanded to $998 million).

   -- The rating outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Hostess' B1 Corporate Family Rating reflects reduced financial
leverage following the acquisition of the company by Gores
Holdings. The rating also reflects the continued financial success
of Hostess following its 2013 relaunch after being acquired out of
bankruptcy through the implementation of extended shelf life
technology and direct-to-warehouse distribution. Hostess has since
generated solid growth through expanding distribution, high profit
margins and good cash flow. The company's liquidity profile is also
strong. These positive factors are balanced against the company's
limited long-term growth potential in a narrow core product line,
concentrated plant operations, and relatively small scale.

The $100 million first-lien revolving credit facility and proposed
$998 million first-lien term loan are rated the same as the B1
Corporate Family Rating, reflecting the single debt class
capitalization that will exist upon the completion of the proposed
refinancing. These obligations are guaranteed by wholly owned
domestic subsidiaries, and by direct and indirect holding
companies, HG Holdings, LLC and Hostess Holdco, LLC (the financial
reporting holding company). The revolver and term loan are secured
by a first priority security interest in substantially all the
assets of the borrower and subsidiary guarantors.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Hostess
will continue to profitably expand its sales and distribution,
which should provide a steady pace of deleveraging barring a major
acquisition.

The ratings could be downgraded if operating performance
deteriorates or if the company pursues a leveraged acquisition that
is likely to cause debt to EBITDA to be sustained above 5.0 times.

The rating could be upgraded if Hostess continues to successfully
manage growth, maintains stable operating performance, improves
earnings diversity and sustains debt to EBITDA below 4.0 times
while maintaining good liquidity.

Headquartered in Kansas City, MO, Hostess develops, manufactures,
markets, and sells packaged baked sweet goods in the United States
including snack cakes, donuts, sweet rolls, pies and related
products. Well known products include Twinkies, Ding Dongs,
Zingers, HoHo's, and Donettes. Pro forma revenue was $688 million
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016. Hostess is owned 25% by
C. Dean Metropoulos, 17% by Apollo Global Management, 8% by Alec
Gores and 50% by other public and private investors.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Global
Packaged Goods" published in June 2013. Other methodologies used
include "Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA" published in June 2009.

IMPLANT SCIENCES: Equity Committee Objects to Assets Sale Bid
-------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that Implant Sciences' official
committee of equity security holders filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court an objection to the Debtor's motion for an order approving
and authorizing bidding procedures in connection with the sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets; approving and authorizing
the bid protections, scheduling the related auction and hearing to
consider approval of the sale.  The objection asserts, "This
accelerated schedule affords the Committee little opportunity to
conduct the necessary diligence to assess various alternatives.  If
the Court should approve the proposed Bid Procedures, it is of
utmost importance that the Committee be given information access
and full consultation rights to assess the accelerated sale
timeline, the proposed APA, other sale issues and potential
alternative strategic exit options. In addition, the Committee
seeks to alleviate certain chilling and otherwise unfair Bidding
Procedure provisions, such as: (i) the limited 'no-shop' provision
already in place that may unduly limit a competitive sale process,
to the extent not immediately and fully dissolved; (ii) the
proposed $11 million dollar initial overbid protection and $4
million incremental overbid protection, both of which are
materially more than necessary to ensure that any Qualifying Bid by
another bidder is higher and better, and thus would chill bidder
participation; and (iii) the transfer of avoidance actions to the
purchaser that diminish the estate without appropriate
consideration and in contravention of applicable law."

As reported in the Oct. 12, 2016 edition of The Troubled Company
Reporter, before filing for bankruptcy, Implant Sciences and its
affiliates entered into a stalking horse purchase agreement with
L-3 Communications Corporation pursuant to which L-3 has agreed to
acquire substantially all of the Debtors' assets for $117.5 million
in cash, plus assumption of specified liabilities. L-3 has agreed
to preserve the Debtors' business as a going concern.

the Debtors' liquidity and impaired their ability to raise capital,

INNOVATIVE XCESSORIES: Moody's Assigns B2 Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned first-time ratings to Innovative
XCessories & Services LLC ("IXS") including a Corporate Family
Rating at B2, and Probability of Default Rating at B3-PD. In a
related action, Moody's assigned a B2 rating to the new $400
million senior secured term loan, and B2 ratings to the company's
$28 million senior secured revolver split into U.S. and Canadian
tranches. Proceeds from the new term loan will be used to refinance
the company's existing debt, fund a $145 million shareholder
distribution to the company's equity sponsors (affiliates of
Olympus Partners), and pay related fees and expenses. The rating
outlook is stable.

Moody's assigned the following ratings:

   Issuer: Innovative XCessories & Services LLC:

   -- Corporate Family Rating, at B2;

   -- Probability of Default, at B3-PD;

   -- $400 million senior secured term loan, at B2 (LGD3);

   -- $18 million senior secured revolver, at B2 (LGD3);

   -- Rating Outlook is Stable.

   Issuer: Line-X Canada Ltd.

   -- $10 million senior secured revolver, at B2 (LGD3);

   -- Rating Outlook is Stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

IXS's B2 CFR incorporates the company's strong competitive position
as a leading supplier of spray-on pick-up truck bedliners, balanced
against concentration in a niche product heavily reliant on the
pick-up truck segment within the highly cyclical automotive light
vehicle market. With the introduction of the company's spray-on
bedliner to the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in 2010, IXS
has participated in the recovery of new vehicle sales following the
Great Recession of 2009. Further supporting the company's
competitive position has been the consumer shift toward light
trucks that has been driven by recovering economic conditions and
low fuel prices. Consumer acceptance of spray-on bedliners (about
74% of revenues) along with other accessory products has driven the
EBITA margin over 20% in 2016.

Yet, truck bedliners remain a niche discretionary product applied
as a special option for the consumer. Shifts in consumer
preferences or advances in technology that favor other chemical
applications or "drop-in liners" may present competitive challenges
for the company. The retail price of spray-on bedliners also is
considerably higher than drop-in liners, which may expose the
company to competitive threat if more advanced drop-in bedliners
are introduced. The company also is dependent on the performance
level of the aftermarket network through which it franchises its
products. Pricing or volume pressure because of an increase in
competition, cyclical declines in auto sales, or changes in
consumer purchase behavior, as well an inability of franchises to
sustain sufficient profitability would negatively affect the
company. IXS also maintains high customer concentrations with the
top five customers representing almost 80% of 2016 revenues.

Further, weighing on the company's ratings is that over one-third
of the new debt will support a shareholder return to the company's
sponsors. Pro forma Debt/EBITDA for the transaction is estimated to
be 4.4x as of June 30, 2016. This shareholder return follows the
pay offs of shareholder subordinated notes and shareholder
preferred stock earlier in fiscal 2016. Moody's estimates that the
dividend will aggressively return a significant amount on the
sponsor's investment in the company. As such, the ratings consider
the risk of additional shareholder returns, which may further
leverage the company's balance sheet.

IXS is expected to have good liquidity over the next 12-15 months
supported by anticipated positive free cash flow generation and
availability under its $28 million revolving credit facilities. Pro
forma for the close of the transaction, IXS is expected to have
about $6.5 million of cash on hand. Moody's believes IXS should
generate positive free cash flow over the near-term in the high
single digits as a percentage of debt. The revolving credit
facility is expected to be unfunded at closing with about $1
million in outstanding letters of credit. The primary financial
covenant under the secured credit facilities will be a maximum
total 5.75x net leverage ratio that Moody's anticipates will have
ample covenant cushion over the near-term. Alternate liquidity will
be limited as the company's largely domestic assets will secure the
term loan and revolving credit facilities.

The Canadian revolver has slightly better recovery prospects
because it is guaranteed by the US borrower and guarantors and
supported by the same US collateral pledged to the US revolver and
term loan, as well as a pledge of the Canadian assets. However, the
Canadian operations are modest relative to the consolidated company
and Moody's does not believe any variance in recovery prospects is
significant enough to warrant a rating differential.

The stable rating outlook balances Moody's view that IXS' strong
free cash flow generation over the next 12-18 months will be used
to support shareholder returns rather than debt repayment which may
limit the company's financial flexibility as global automotive
demand plateaus.

The opportunity for a higher rating over the intermediate-term is
limited given the company's moderate size and demonstrated capacity
to support shareholder returns. Profitable growth that increases
scale could lead to an upgrade if the company can sustain
debt/EBITDA at around 3.0x or lower and EBITA/interest expense,
inclusive of restructuring charges, above 4x.

Future events that have the potential to drive a lower rating
include weakness in light truck sales, a consumer shift away from
up-fitting options, or declining volume with one of the company's
large customers or platforms, resulting in debt/EBITDA above 4.75x,
or EBITA/interest expense approaching 2.0x. A weakening liquidity
profile could also drive a negative rating action.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Global
Automotive Supplier Industry" published in June 2016.

Innovative XCessories & Services LLC (IXS), is a holding company
subsidiary of IXS Holdings, Inc. (headquartered in Huntsville, AL).
Through its subsidiaries, IXS provides protective coatings for
pick-up truck beds, as well as a wide range of other up-fit
services and accessories to automotive manufacturers. IXS also
engaged in the sale of Line-X franchises within North America that
are primarily used for the application of spray-on truck bedliners,
the sale of chemicals and machinery to franchise and licensees that
are used primarily for the application of spray-on truck bedliners
nationally and internationally. Revenues for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2016 were approximately $381 million.


INT'L SHIPHOLDING: Seeks Approval of RSA with Seacor Capital
------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that International Shipholding filed
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion for entry of an order
authorizing the Debtors' entry into a restructuring support
agreement (RSA) with Seacor Capital.  The motion explains, "In the
three months since the Petition Date, the Debtors have worked
diligently with their key constituencies toward a goal of
maximizing the value of the Debtors' estates. After concluding a
comprehensive analysis of the alternatives available to the
estates, the Debtors have determined that the way to best reach
this goal is a two-pronged approach: the Debtors will (1) execute a
sale process for one of their four business segments, the Specialty
Business Segment, and (2) propose a plan of reorganization (the
'Plan'), with SEACOR as plan sponsor, to reorganize the remaining
business segments. As a first step in this process, the Debtors are
seeking authority to enter into the RSA, which serves as a
blueprint for a Plan and contemporaneously herewith have filed a
motion to establish procedures to sell the Specialty Business
Segment.  The RSA and its associated Term Sheet…both of which
were heavily negotiated by the Debtors and their advisors
contemplate that pursuant to the Plan and the transactions
contemplated thereby, SEACOR will: contribute $10 million in cash
to the reorganization process and contribute the DIP Claim
(including that portion owned by DVB Bank SE ('DVB'), which shall
be purchased by SEACOR or repaid by SEACOR) in exchange for 100% of
the equity in the reorganized Debtors offer employment
opportunities to the Debtors' union members on terms contained in
CBAs modified to contain terms not less favorable than the terms
proposed by the unions currently utilized by SEACOR for
substantially similar jobs (with such terms not including any
obligation to contribute to any defined benefit pension plans that
would be new to SEACOR) arrange for a $25 million exit facility
assume certain of the Debtors' pre-petition contracts."

IRELAND NEEDLECRAFT: Seeks $30,000 Line of Credit from CSG
----------------------------------------------------------
Ireland Needlecraft, Inc. d/b/a H&S Bicycles, asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California for
authorization to obtain postpetition financing from Cycling Sports
Group, Inc.

The Debtor relates that it has reached an agreement with Cycling
Sports Group, which is the Debtor's primary prepetition supplier of
bicycle products, by which the Debtor will return un-sold
prepetition bicycle inventory and Cycling Sports Group will provide
a line of credit to the Debtor to obtain new product from Cycling
Sports Group.

The Debtor is indebted to Cycling Sports Group in the approximate
amount of $220,879, on a line of credit, which the Debtor used to
purchase bicycles and other related products for retail.  The
Debtor believes that Cycling Sports Group holds the senior and only
lien on proceeds from the sale of the bicycle inventory which it
has supplied to the Debtor, as well as related products.

The Debtor contends that Giant Bicycle recorded a separate
financing statement with the California Secretary of State, but its
financing statement explicitly limits its security interest to
bicycle inventory in which it, Giant Bicycle, supplied to the
Debtor.

The Debtor tells the Court that to enable the Debtor to continue
its operations, Cycling Sports Group had agreed to provide
postpetition financing to the Debtor.

The relevant terms, among others, of the proposed line of credit
are:

     (1) Cycling Sports Group will provide the Debtor with a line
of credit with a maximum amount of $30,000, or $15,000 per store,
with 30-day repayment terms.

     (2) After the Debtor has three months of on time payment in
full, the line will increase to $50,000.  If thereafter, the Debtor
makes any late or partial payment, at Cycling Sports Group's
discretion, the credit limit on the line of credit will revert back
to $30,000 for another three-month minimum period before rising
again to $50,000.

     (3) Cycling Sports Group will be entitled to charge
contractual interest rate, pursuant to the terms of the line of
credit.  The interest rate for late payments on the line of credit
is 1.5% per month.

     (4) Cycling Sports Group's lien will be cross-collateralized
by all prepetition and postpetition bicycle inventory supplied by
Cycling Sports Group.

     (5) To the extent that Cycling Sports Group holds a secured
claim at the time of plan confirmation, it will accept payment of
its prepetition claim for a period of as long as five years.
During such payment, Cycling Sports Group will retain its lien and
receive replacement liens in new bicycle inventory supplied by
Cycling Sports Group.  Cycling Sports Group's postpetition claim
will be deemed to be an administrative claim and will be paid
pre-confirmation and post-confirmation of a plan pursuant to the
terms of the line of credit.

The Debtor tells the Court that it intends to continue to operate
its Burbank store and to propose a reorganization plan.  The Debtor
further tells the Court that the line of credit will allow the
Debtor to obtain bicycle inventory to sell and to make special
orders on bicycle inventory.  The Debtor adds that without access
to the financing, the Debtor will have difficulties proposing a
feasible plan of reorganization which it presently intends to file
in winter, 2017.

JEVIC HOLDING: Solicitor General Wants 3rd Cir. Ruling Reversed
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Montgomery, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that
Acting U.S. Solicitor General Ian H. Gershengorn has secured a
place among the parties slated to argue a closely watched U.S.
Supreme Court appeal of a structured Chapter 11 dismissal in
Delaware that bypassed absolute priority schemes for asset
distributions.  According to the report, friend of the court briefs
filed with the high court already cite the case, Casimir Czyzewski
et al. v. Jevic Holding Corp. et al., as a potential bankruptcy law
landmark that could resolve -- or further muddle -- conflicting
circuit court rulings on contested settlement agreements.

The report relates that in an amicus brief seeking reversal,
Gershengorn argued that the Third Circuit erred in upholding a
Delaware bankruptcy judge's approval of a case settlement in 2012
that allowed Jevic and its senior creditors to avoid paying legal
claims arising from employee layoffs.

Gershengorn was invited to submit an amicus brief in February and
was approved to argue on Nov. 7.  According to him, terms for
dismissal of Jevic's Chapter 11 blocked any nonbankruptcy court
proceedings that would have allowed laid-off workers a recovery for
alleged violations of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act.

Jevic Transportation, Inc., a now-bankrupt trucking company, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Jevic Holding, which is itself a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Transportation, LLC.  SCPI owns 100%
of the equity in Sun Transportation, LLC.  SCPI created Sun
Transportation, LLC and Jevic Holding to acquire the debtors.
SCPI's co-Chief Executive Officers are Rodger R. Krouse and Marc J.
Leder.

In 2006, Sun Transportation, LLC acquired the debtors in a
leveraged buyout. The buyout gave Jevic access to an $85 million
revolving credit facility from a bank group led by CIT
Group/Business Credit, Inc.  Upon the acquisition, Jevic and SCPI
entered into a management-services agreement governing the
relationship between them. Jevic struggled through 2007 and
eventually its assets fell below the level required to maintain its
credit facility from CIT.  In March 2008, SCPI chose not to invest
more money in Jevic, and Jevic began an active sale process.  After
meetings with buyers did not produce a sale, on May 16, 2008,
Jevic's board authorized a bankruptcy filing.  Jevic then sent its
employees termination notices under the WARN Act, which they
received on May 19, 2008. Jevic filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy the
next day, May 20.

On May 21, 2008, plaintiffs filed a class-action lawsuit alleging
Jevic and SCPI were a "single employer" for purposes of the WARN
Act.  The Bankruptcy Court certified the class.

During discovery, plaintiffs deposed 12 people. They also asked to
depose Krouse and Leder. After SCPI moved for a protective order,
the Bankruptcy Court quashed plaintiffs' notices of the depositions
of Krouse and Leder.

SCPI and plaintiffs each moved for summary judgment on the
plaintiffs' single-employer claim. The Bankruptcy Court held Jevic
and SCPI were not a single employer under the WARN Act.
Accordingly, it granted SCPI's motion and denied plaintiffs'
motion.

Subsequently, plaintiffs appealed to the District Court, which
affirmed the Bankruptcy Court in all respects.  Plaintiffs appealed
to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which also
upheld in July the lower courts' rulings.

                    About Jevic Transportation

Based in Delanco, New Jersey, Jevic Transportation Inc. --
http://www.jevic.com/-- provided trucking services.  Two  
affiliates -- Jevic Holding Corp. and Creek Road Properties-- have
no assets or operations.  Jevic et al. sought Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 08-11008) on May 20, 2008.

Domenic E. Pacitti, Esq., and Michael W. Yurkewicz, Esq., at Klehr
Harrison Harvey Branzburg & Ellers, in Wilmington, Del.,
represented the Debtors.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 3 appointed five creditors to
serve on an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  Robert J.
Feinstein, Esq., Bruce Grohsgal, Esq., and Maria A. Bove, Esq., at
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington, Del., represent
the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

Before filing for bankruptcy, the Debtors initiated an orderly
wind-down process.  As a part of the wind-down process, the
Debtors ceased substantially all of their business and
terminated roughly 90% of their employees.  The Debtors continue
to manage the wind-down process in an attempt to deliver all
freight in their system and to retrieve their assets.

When the Debtors sought protection from their creditors, they
estimated assets and debts between $50 million and $100 million.
At Oct. 31, 2010, the Debtor had total assets of $425,000, total
liabilities of $12.2 million, and a stockholders' deficit of
$11.8 million.

KAISER GYPSUM: Hires Cook Firm as Special Insurance Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates seek
permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District
of North Carolina to employ Cook Law Firm, P.C. as special
insurance counsel.

In April 2001, Truck Insurance Exchange filed a lawsuit in
California state court against the Debtors seeking a ruling that
the Debtors' design, production and distribution of their
asbestos-containing products constituted a single occurrence and,
thus, the Truck Policies had already been exhausted. In 2002, the
Debtors filed a cross-complaint against Truck and their excess
insurers contending, among other things, that to the extent the
primary coverage was exhausted, the excess insurers were obligated
to indemnify the Debtors against asbestos personal injury claims.

The Debtors require Cook Firm to:

     a. counsel and represent the Debtors in connection with
matters arising from or related to the Debtors' insurance coverage
with respect to asbestos claims, including the Coverage
Litigation;

     b. counsel and represent the Debtors and assist bankruptcy
counsel in connection with issues related to insurance coverage for
asbestos liabilities, including in connection with any plan of
reorganization and related documents; and

     c. perform such other services as the Debtors may request from
time to time, including services related to insurance coverage for
environmental liabilities.

Cook Firm lawyers will be paid $400-$600 per hour.

Cook Firm will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred.

Prior to the petition date, in January 2015, the Cook Firm received
a retainer of $45,000 for services rendered or to be rendered and
for reimbursement of expenses. As of the Petition Date, the balance
of the Retainer was $21,200.

In the one-year period preceding the Petition Date, the Cook Firm
received payments for fees and expenses incurred on behalf of the
Debtors totaling $271,429.28, exclusive of the Retainer.

Philip E. Cook, Esq., managing attorney of The Cook Law Firm, P.C.,
assured the Court that the firm does not represent any interest
adverse to the Debtors and their estates.

The Debtors have also filed or will file applications to retain
Jones Day as bankruptcy counsel, Rayburn Cooper & Durham, P.A. as
local counsel, K&L Gates LLP as special insurance counsel with
respect to coverage for environmental liability, and Miller Nash
Graham & Dunn LLP as special environmental and insurance counsel
with respect to coverage for environmental liability.

KAISER GYPSUM: Hires K&L Gates as Special Insurance Counsel

Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates seek
permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District
of North Carolina to employ K&L Gates LLP. as special insurance

MACBETH DESIGNS: Has Interim Approval to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge John K. Sherwood on Nov. 4, 2016, entered an interim order
authorizing Macbeth Designs LLC to use cash collateral in which
secured lenders Jan Josephs and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., have an
interest, in accordance with the 90-day budget.

A final hearing is scheduled for Dec. 6, 2016, at 10:00 a.m.  In
the event no objections are filed, the Interim Order will continue
in full force and effect and will be deemed a Final Order without
further notice or hearing.

                      Cash Collateral Motion

As reported in the Nov. 10, 2016 edition of the TCR, the Debtor
said it requires the immediate use of cash collateral to pay its
usual and ordinary operating expenses for design and related
operating costs and maintain the value of its business while the
Debtor reorganizes its business operations.  

The Debtor is obligated to Chase under a business line of credit
(the "Chase LOC") of which approximately $81,073 remains
outstanding as of the Petition Date.  The Chase LOC is secured by
an alleged perfected security interest in all of the Debtor's
assets.

In addition, because of the Debtor's severe cash flow issues, it
was necessary for the Debtor to obtain a loan from Josephs, who is
the ex-husband of the Debtor's managing member, Margaret Josephs.
The Debtor is obligated to Josephs under the terms of a promissory
note dated May 25, 2016 in the original principal amount of
$250,000 (the "Josephs Note") of which approximately $231,556
remains outstanding as of the Petition Date.  The Josephs Note is
secured by an alleged perfected security interest in the Debtor's
assets, including its cash, accounts, accounts receivable,
royalties, and contract rights, which is subordinate to Chase.  The
Josephs Note is also personally guaranteed by Margaret Josephs.

As adequate protection, the Secured Creditors will receive
replacement liens and statutory rights under 11 U.S.C. Sec.
507(b).

As additional adequate protection for the use of Cash Collateral,
the Debtor proposes to pay monthly payments to Chase under the
Chase LOC in the amount of $9,222.  In addition, the Debtor
further
proposes to pay Josephs the monthly payment to which he is
entitled
under the Josephs Note in the amount of approximately $1,300 per
month.

The 90-day budget projects quarterly revenue of $200,000 and total
expenses of $163,813 during the period.  A copy of the Budget is

MANITOWOC CO: S&P Lowers Rating to 'B'; Outlook Negative
--------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it has downgraded Wisconsin-based
crane manufacturer Manitowoc Co. Inc. to 'B' from 'B+'.  The
outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured notes to 'B' from 'B+'.  The '3' recovery
rating remains unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation for
meaningful (50%-70%; lower half of the range) recovery in the event
of a payment default.

"The downgrade reflects the extremely soft global demand for
cranes, which has weakened the company's operating performance and
caused its credit metrics to deteriorate through the third quarter
of 2016," said S&P Global credit analyst Tyrell Peebles.  The
company downwardly revised its guidance for the balance of 2016 and
S&P expects that its operating environment will remain challenged,
at least through 2017, because of the excess supply of crane
equipment in its industry.  Therefore, S&P expects that Manitowoc's
revenue will continue to decline in 2017, though at a more moderate
pace, and anticipate that this decline will be partially mitigated
by modest margin improvement from management's restructuring
initiatives and new product launches.  Incorporating these
expectations, S&P believes that Manitowoc's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA
metric will be about 8x in 2016, improving to about 6x in 2017.
Although S&P expects the company's leverage to remain high, it
believes that it will generate modest free operating cash flow
(FOCF) and maintain its moderate cash balances (including the
availability under its asset-based lending [ABL] facility).  In
addition, S&P expects the company to maintain at least a 15%
cushion under its 1x fixed-charge covenant over the next 12-18
months.

The negative outlook on Manitowoc reflects S&P's expectation that
continued weak demand in the company's end markets will constrain
its operating performance and cause its leverage metrics to become
elevated over the next 12-18 months.  The negative outlook also
incorporates the potential for further deterioration in the
company's operating performance, which could limit its ability to
reduce its leverage from currently elevated levels.

S&P could lower its rating on Manitowoc if the company's operating
performance is weaker than S&P expects and its leverage remains
above 6.5x over the next 12 months with limited prospects for
improvement.  Additionally, S&P could consider lowering its rating
on the company if it expects its free cash flow generation to turn
negative on a sustained basis and its liquidity becomes constrained
such that the headroom under the fixed charge covenant on its ABL
revolver is meaningfully reduced.

S&P would consider revising its outlook on Manitowoc to stable if
the company is able to reduce its leverage below 6.5x on a
sustained basis and S&P expects it to generate modest free cash
flow.

MEG ENERGY: Bank Debt Trades at 6% Off
--------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under MEG Energy Corp is a
borrower traded in the secondary market at 93.58
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, November 4, 2016,
according to data compiled by LSTA/Thomson Reuters MTM Pricing.
This represents a decrease of 0.72 percentage points from the
previous week.  MEG Energy pays 275 basis points above LIBOR to
borrow under the $1.287 billion facility. The bank loan matures on
March 16, 2020 and carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's
BB+ rating.  The loan is one of the biggest gainers and losers
among 247 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in
secondary trading for the week ended November 4.


MERUELO MADDUX: 9th Circ. Affirms Summary Judgment vs. 1248
-----------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed
the bankruptcy court's order granting summary judgment against 1248
Figueroa Street, LLC's lien.

Meruelo Maddux Properties, Inc., and MMPI Acquisition, LLC, filed
an adversary proceeding seeking a declaratory judgment that 1248's
lien did not encumber the shares MMPIA acquired. The bankruptcy
court granted summary judgment against 1248, and the district court
affirmed.

The Ninth Circuit held that the bankruptcy court did not err in
ruling that MMPIA received the post-reorganization MMPI shares free
and clear of 1248's lien.  As a holder of derivative rights, 1248
had no more rights in the post-reorganization shares than the
Meruelo Parties had, the Ninth Circuit ruled.  The Meruelo Parties
had no rights in the post-reorganization shares after the effective
date of the reorganization plan, and therefore, 1248 had no rights
in the post-reorganization shares after the effective date, the
circuit court further held.  Additionally, the bankruptcy court
properly found that MMPIA received only newly-issued shares in the
reorganized MMPI. The Meruelo Parties never owned these
newly-issued shares, so 1248 never had a security interest in these
shares.

The appeals case is 1248 FIGUEROA STREET, LLC; et al., Appellants,
v. MMPI ACQUISITION, LLC and EVOQ PROPERTIES, INC., FKA Meruelo
Maddux Properties, Inc., Appellees, No. 15-55592 (9th Cir.).

additional 4.95% of the outstanding common shares of MGM China
Holdings Limited and now owns approximately 56% of MGM China's

returning MGM Resorts to investment grade as we continue to
maximize cash flow and grow the Company in a financially prudent
manner," said Dan D'Arrigo, executive vice president and chief
financial officer of MGM Resorts.  "We believe that our strategic
actions in the third quarter are aligned with these goals including
opportunistically enhancing our capital structure through the
issuance of notes at historically low levels, acquiring the
remaining interest in Borgata, and increasing our exposure in the
largest gaming market in the world through the purchase of an
additional stake in MGM China."

MIDCONTINENT COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Rates $285MM Loan B 'Ba1'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba1 instrument-level
rating to Midcontinent Communications' (Midco) proposed $285
million senior secured term loan B. In connection with the
transaction, the company will also upsize its existing $125 million
revolving credit facility to $250 million. Proceeds from the new
term loan, along with a combination of cash on hand and revolver
usage will be used to pay off the company's existing term loans A
and B, purchase the Kansas assets of WideOpenWest, and fund
transaction fees. These transactions will occur simultaneously at
the close of the transaction, expected late 2016 or early 2017.

Midco's B1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), B1-PD Probability of
Default Rating, Ba1 senior secured rating, and B3 senior unsecured
rating remain unchanged. The outlook remains stable.

Assignments:

   Issuer: Midcontinent Communications

   -- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility (Local Currency),
      Assigned Ba1 (LGD 2)

RATING RATIONALE

Total leverage, pro forma for these transactions and following the
company's $125 million recent note issuance, raises pro forma
leverage by approximately .3x, to 4.9x (Moody's adjusted
debt/EBITDA), as of the period ended June, 2016. Moody's said, "We
expect the revolver capacity to remain close to pre-deal levels in
terms of dollars, despite usage. We project availability will
approach 75% by the end of 2017 with repayment during the year."

The B1 CFR reflects Midco's small scale, elevated leverage, and
diminished liquidity with positive but limited free cash flows due
primarily to higher capital expenditures for ongoing network
upgrades and expansion projects. "However, we anticipate higher
free cash flow in 2017 as investments normalize and the investments
yield returns." Moody's said. The company's rating is also
constrained by the threat of regulatory intervention and
unfavorable sector trends with video subscribers declining as
established and new streaming competitors capture market share with
less expensive offerings over more advanced digital delivery
systems and mobile devices. Midcontinent is also uniquely exposed
to economic stress from the collapse in oil prices being located in
North Dakota with almost 10% of its subscribers living and working
in the oil-rich Bakken region. Its dependence on small and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs) for growth poses risks as they tend
to be more vulnerable during periods of economic stress.

The stable rating outlook incorporates expectations for high single
digit growth in revenue and EBITDA, video subscriber losses in the
low single digits more than fully offset by high single digit
growth in broadband subscribers, stable EBITDA margins, and thin to
negative free cash flows including the expansionary CAPEX. Moody's
also expects management to remain committed to debt reduction,
though the B1 rating could tolerate higher-than-anticipated capex,
project delays, weaker-than expected subscriber trends and
acquisitions consistent with the company's historic pattern.

"Lack of scale somewhat limits upward ratings momentum. However, we
would consider positive ratings pressure based on expectations for
leverage sustained at or below 3.5x total debt to EBITDA (Moody's
adjusted), and free cash flow to debt in the high single-digit
range. We would consider a downgrade based on expectations for
leverage sustained above 5.5x (Moody's adjusted), or free cash flow
to debt to be sustained below 2% beyond 2016." Moody's said.

Headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Midcontinent
Communications provides video, high speed data, and voice services
to residential and commercial customers in the states of North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Through a
partnership arrangement, Comcast Corporation (A3 stable) owns a 50%
common equity interest in Midcontinent. Pro forma for the
transaction, revenue for the last twelve months ended June 30, 2016
was approximately $535 million.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Pay
Television - Cable and Direct-to-Home Satellite Operators published
in April 2013.


MOMENTIVE PERFORMANCE: Noteholders Challenge Interest Rate
----------------------------------------------------------
William Gorta, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that BOK
Financial Corp. and Wilmington Trust NA, noteholders in the
reorganization of Momentive Performance Materials Inc., told the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Nov. 9, 2016, that
a cramdown interest rate set by a New York bankruptcy court allowed
lenders to profit at the noteholders' expense.

Douglas Hallward-Driemeier --
Douglas.Hallward-Driemeier@ropesgray.com -- of Ropes & Gray LLP,
representing Wilmington, told the three-judge panel that the
noteholders agreed to cash repayment of par value plus accrued
interest on $1.35 billion in bonds while waiving the right to
collect some $200 million in make-whole payments.

Last year, Judge Vincent Briccetti of the U.S. District Court in
White Plains, N.Y., upheld a decision by Momentive Performance
Materials Inc. to forgo $200 million in so-called make-whole
payments, or premiums, to its bondholders.  According to the report
by Tom Corrigan, writing for Dow Jones' LBO Wire, Judge Briccetti
rejected an appeal from bondholders unhappy with a bankruptcy
court's approval of Momentive's Chapter 11 plan, which didn't
include the make-whole premiums.

In August 2014, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain held that
lenders to Momentive aren't entitled to a so-called make-whole
premium, which would have been approximately $200 million, for
early repayment of the debt.

restructuring.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, the Debtors had $4.11 billion of outstanding
indebtedness, including payments due within the next 12 months and

                           *     *     *

Momentive Performance Materials Inc.'s (Momentive's) corporate
family rating (CFR) to Caa1 from B3, and their probability of
default rating (PDR) to Caa1-PD from B3-PD. Concurrently, Moody
has
downgraded the assigned ratings of Momentive's $1.1 billion, at
3.88%, first-lien senior secured notes due 2021; and Momentive's
$250 million, at 4.69%, second-lien senior secured notes due 2022.
The first-lien notes are now rated Caa1, down from B3; and the
second-lien notes are now rated Caa3, down from Caa2. Moody's has
also affirmed Momentive's SGL-3 speculative grade liquidity
rating,
meaning the company's liquidity position for the next 12-18 months
is adequate. The outlook on the ratings is stable.

NORANDA ALUMINUM: Gets Court's OK on $7,500 Settlement with USW
---------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued
an order approving Noranda Aluminum's stipulation and settlement
resolving certain grievances by and between Noranda Aluminum and
the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union
(USW) and USW Local 7686 (Local Union).  As previously reported,
"The Company, Noranda Aluminum is party to a collective bargaining
agreement, effective September 1, 2012, with the USW (the 'CBA' or
the 'New Madrid CBA').  The New Madrid CBA expires, by its terms,
at midnight, Aug. 31, 2017.  At its peak, the New Madrid CBA
covered 837 USW represented production and maintenance employees.
In accordance with the terms of the New Madrid CBA, the Company and

OCWEN FINANCIAL: S&P Assigns 'B' Rating on New 2nd Lien Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it assigned a 'B' rating to Ocwen's new
second lien notes and downgraded its 'B' issue rating on Ocwen's
unsecured notes to 'CCC+' assuming some of those notes are not
exchanged.  S&P assigned a '3' recovery rating to the new second
lien notes, indicating its expectation for meaningful recovery
(50%-70%, upper half of the range) and revised S&P's recovery on
the unsecured notes to '6' from '3', indicating its expectation for
negligible recovery (0%-10%).  S&P also affirmed its 'B' issuer
rating on Ocwen Financial Corp, and S&P's 'BB-' rating on Ocwen's
senior secured term loan.  Lastly, S&P assigned an issuer credit
rating of 'B' to Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Ocwen Financial Corp.  The outlook is stable.

"On Nov. 1, 2016, Ocwen Financial Corp. asked its existing senior
debtholders to exchange their 6.625% senior notes due 2019 for
8.375% senior secured second lien notes due 2022 issued by Ocwen
Loan Servicing and guaranteed by Ocwen Financial Corp," said S&P
Global Ratings credit analyst Diogenes Mejia.  S&P is assigning a
'B' rating to the new second lien notes and are downgrading S&P's
rating on the remaining existing notes to 'CCC+' from 'B' as a
result of lower recovery expectations given that the notes will be
junior to two notes following the exchange, compared to being
junior to the one note previously.  In S&P's recovery calculation
for the unsecured notes, it is assuming there will be approximately
$25 million in remaining notes after the exchange.

Noteholders who agree to the exchange by Nov. 15, 2016, will
receive $1,000 of the new notes -- including a $50 premium -- for
an equal amount of the existing notes.  If noteholders tender after
that but before Nov. 30, 2016 they will receive only $950 in
exchange consideration per $1,000 of par value.

Debtholders representing at least $275 million in existing notes of
the approximately $350 million currently outstanding must
participate to consummate the exchange.  S&P is assuming $325
million will be exchanged for its recovery calculations.  Eligible
holders collectively holding approximately $230 million aggregate
amount of the existing notes have agreed that they will tender
their existing notes in the exchange offer.

S&P assigned an issuer credit rating of 'B' to Ocwen Loan
Servicing, LLC (OLS), reflecting S&P's designation of OLS as a core
subsidiary of its parent and S&P's expectation that the rest of the
group is likely to support it under any foreseeable circumstances.
S&P views OLS as a core subsidiary because of the high unlikelihood
it would be sold, the integral role the company plays in its
current identity and future strategy, and the close business ties
between the two entities.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view that much of the regulatory
risk that threatened the viability of Ocwen's business model has
abated and that the requirements of the settlements reached with
various regulatory bodies will continue to improve the operational
and risk management framework of Ocwen, as well as board
effectiveness, over the next 12-18 months.  Additionally, S&P
believes that the firm will maintain leverage of approximately
above 5x debt to EBITDA, as expense reductions offsets the
reduction in earnings resulting from MSR portfolio run-off.

If the company is unable to successfully execute its current loan
origination strategy, thus risking its ability to generate
recurring cash flow over the next 12 months sufficient to support
the projected levels of debt, S&P could lower the rating.  For
example, if debt to EBITDA breaches 6x, with no plan for reducing
it below the 6x threshold, S&P could lower the rating.
Additionally, if regulators identify further violations that S&P
believes are likely to threaten the stability of the operations,
S&P could lower the rating.

An upgrade is unlikely during the next 12-18 months given the
uncertainty about whether Ocwen can successfully transition from a
purchaser of MSRs to a creator of MSRs via organic mortgage
origination and wholesale or correspondent relationships, as well
as assets from floorplan lending.

PICO HOLDINGS: Reports Q3 Earnings While Hart Resigns From Board
----------------------------------------------------------------
PICO Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:PICO), based in La Jolla, Calif., is a
diversified holding company reporting recurring losses since 2008.
PICO owns 57% of UCP, Inc. (NYSE:UCP), 100% of Vidler Water
Company, Inc., a securities portfolio and various interests in
small businesses. PICO has $662 million in assets and $426 million
in shareholder equity. Central Square Management LLC and River Road
Asset Management LLC collectively own more than 14% of PICO. Other
activists at http://ReformPICONow.com/(RPN) have taken to the
Internet to advance the shareholder cause.

The bloggers note that, while PICO prepared to remove former CEO
John Hart from its Board via written consent, Mr. Hart resigned on
his own. "No sooner had the ink dried on the Consent Statement,
than Juicer resigned. A day later, PICO withdrew the Consent
Solicitation. As always, lawyers were happy.

Except for his status as "Payee" on $11 million in checks from
PICO, Juicer now has zero affiliation with his employer of over 2
decades (although he is still a UCP Director). All that remains are
the $11 million in checks, paid for by PICO shareholders."

The bloggers are impressed with new PICO CEO Max Webb's clarity in
reporting Q3 earnings. "The most interesting aspect of the earnings
call was Mr. Webb and his clear, honest communication with the
owners of the business. Juicer's communication was always deceptive
and evasive -- when he chose to communicate. Raymond "Delaymond"
Marino's communication is evasive, delusional and overly schooled
by lawyers. Refreshingly, Mr. Webb was frank and direct. We were
impressed and if Mr. Webb's execution corresponds to his speech,
PICO shareholders may be forgiven if they feel a tiny bit of
optimism."

The bloggers speculate that PICO will begin the sale process for
its stake in UCP. "UCP is up against the wall. Revenue has grown,
but earnings are weak and every quarter brings a new charge.
Shareholder equity has not budged in the 3 years since UCP went
public -- it was $218.6 million in Q3 2013 and now is $217.5
million. Corporate governance is poor. And with the aborted $200
million debt issuance, UCP is staring at a wicked $145 million in
maturities over the next year, plus $32 million in payables for
lots.

According to the bloggers, "We suspect that UCP CEO Dustin Bogue
and Chairman Michael C. Cortney are tired of having their
shortcomings publicized on RPN and eventually fed through Bloomberg
and LexisNexis for thousands of readers. Both own significant
amounts of UCP shares and will benefit financially from a change in
control. We would not be surprised if events moved quickly at UCP.
Now is a great time to sell a poorly-managed, uncompetitive
homebuilder with valuable land."

The bloggers extend gratitude to Andrew Shapiro, of Lawndale
Capital Management, for his persistent and insightful questioning
of PICO Executives and Directors. "Much of the information provided
by PICO representatives was prompted by questions from Mr. Shapiro.
PICO shareholders are fortunate to have Mr. Shapiro on our side. If
not for his assertiveness, all of us would be information poor in
relation to PICO. Mr. Shapiro deserves our applause."

The bloggers are not fans of Chairman Marino. "Delaymond has
criticized RPN in private on several occasions. Given our
dedication to shareholder value, we found his posture puzzling. We
became worried when Delaymond issued flowing compliments to Kenneth
Slepicka, a corporate wrongdoer, but criticized RPN in private.

"We gave Delaymond a chance. We wrote complimentary of him on
several occasions. Due to his resume, we proposed that he fire
Juicer and assume the CEO role of PICO. We wrote about some of his
notable business achievements. We pleaded with him to escalate the
PICOGate investigation for the benefit of shareowners. None of it
appears to have made any difference to our non-elected Chairman.
And he continued to criticize RPN.

"As avid readers know, we passed on the opportunity to pursue an
SEC Whistleblower Award, potentially worth $250,000 or more, when
we published PICOGate. We don't see Delaymond making any quarter
million dollar sacrifices for the benefit of shareholders.

At some time, dissonant couples realize that things are not going
to work out. We have concluded that Delaymond is not our type of
Director. We view his slow pace as value destructive, his caution
as a form of omission, his criticism of RPN as unperceptive, and
his unwillingness to change his palace coup plan when we broke
PICOGate, as $11 million too rigid."

The bloggers are pleased, but not satisfied. "We maintain that the
PICO Board needs another Director or two. We believe that Delaymond
and Hapless Howie have created a culture on the PICO Board that is
Director-oriented. As the $11 million termination payment shows,
this Board collectively is not looking out for shareholders' best
interests.

"We hope that the PICO Board does not make the same mistake with
our Red Hawk revelation as it did with our PICOGate story. We hope
the PICO Board invests the de minimis amounts to ascertain if
Juicer and Mr. Bogue committed improprieties against shareholders
when PICO purchased the Red Hawk Community out of foreclosure,
thereby releasing Mr. Bogue from his underwater personal guarantee
on the Red Hawk loan. If wrongdoing is discovered, PICO should seek
recourse from Juicer and Mr. Bogue.

"We are impressed with Mr. Webb's first earnings call. His speech
was free of absurdity and evasion. He was clear, direct and offered
numbers and dates. If his actions match his words, PICO
shareholders have reason to be optimistic.

"We hope Mr. Webb and Delaymond take a firm stance with UCP. The
business model is flawed. The executive team is not competitive.
The corporate governance is Hart-ish. The returns are pathetic.
Value is destroyed with every home sold. There is only one
conclusion: Pull the trigger."


PNCH ASSOCIATES: Sale of Cherry Hill Property for $1.6M Denied
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Andrew B. Altenburg, Jr. of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey denied PNCH Associates, LLC's sale of real
property located at 7730 and 7740 Maple Ave, Cherry Hill, New
Jersey, to Legacy Assets and its assignees, for $1,600,000 if
closing occurs within 9 months of the contract date; $1,650,000 if
within 12 months; and $1,700,000 if within 14 months.

An Amendment to the Agreement of Sale, signed July 5, 2016,
provides that the timeliness of the contract (i.e., the 9, 12 and
14 month deadlines) will commence upon approval of the Agreement of
Sale by the Court.

The Debtor averred that, as the property is subject to a first
priority mortgage of TD Bank in the amount of $1,048,000, the sale
will generate funds necessary to pay the secured creditor in full,
all administrative claimants in full, and make a significant
distribution to any remaining creditors.

It alleged that a sale free and clear of liens is permissible
pursuant to section 363(f)(3), "such interest is a lien and the
price at which such property is to be sold is greater than the
aggregate value of all liens on such property."

The Agreement of Sale for Real Estate, dated May 27, 2016, provides
for the sale of the real estate at the amount(s) stated.  Legacy
was to make a deposit of $25,000 at execution of the Agreement of
Sale, and then will pay $10,000 6 months after execution and
$10,000 every 60 days thereafter until closing.  Closing would
occur 30 days after Legacy receives all necessary township, county
and state approvals for the development of approximately 20,000
square feet of retail space, within 14 months of the Agreement of
Sale execution.  In the event the Buyer is unable to obtain such
approvals in the form provided above or the Buyer determines in its
sole and absolute discretion that it is not practicable to proceed
to attempt to obtain such approvals, the Buyer may cancel the
Agreement and receive return of its deposit and upon return, the
Agreement will become null and void and of no force of effect.
Legacy would not be refunded the $10,000 periodic payments.

A Rider signed May 24 and 27, 2016, provides that the Debtor agrees
to pay a commission of 6% split evenly between brokers Kingsway
Realty Co. and Wolf Commercial Real Estate. The Court notes that as
the Agreement of Sale was entered into prepetition, the commissions
would not attain administrative expense status, but would be
unsecured claims to the extent that payment on TD Bank's lien did
not leave sufficient proceeds for payment in full of this cost.

Aside from claims of the three members of the Debtor, general
unsecured claims total $883 divided between two creditors.
Priority unsecured claims were scheduled for the applicable taxing
agencies, the SEC, and the New Jersey Division of Labor, each in
the amount of $0.  At the hearing held on the Motion, the United
States Trustee stated that at the 341 meeting, the Debtor tendered
that it had paid the $883 claims in full, thus leaving only TD Bank
as a creditor.  But the State of New Jersey, Division of Taxation,
has since filed two proofs of claim, one asserting a $550 general
unsecured claim and the other asserting a priority unsecured claim
in the amount of $1,550, and as just explained, the brokers may
have unsecured claims.

TD Bank objected to the Sale Motion, alleging that its claim, a
final foreclosure judgment, is actually $1,656,881, and that the
claim continues to accrue interest at the rate of $182 per diem,
plus late charges, legal fees and costs.  It argued that the sale
is not in the best interest of TD Bank and other creditors, and
does not meet the standards of section 363.  It cited the
"complexity of the conditions precedent" as making the likelihood
of closing the sale "speculative at best."  If approved, TD Bank
alleged that it might have to wait up to 14 months to exercise its
rights in the event the sale falls through.  As for selling free
and clear of liens, TD Bank averred that the Debtor had failed to
demonstrate that the price for the property is greater than the
aggregate value of all liens.  Accordingly, it argued that the sale
does not meet the requirements of section 363(f).

At the hearing, TD Bank submitted into evidence a Stipulation and
Consent Order, entered in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Camden
County, on Sept. 14, 2014, between it, PNCH and PNCH's members.
Therein TD Bank agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and
remedies on the representation of PNCH that it was actively
negotiating the sale of the property to a third party.  If PNCH
consummated the sale prior to Jan. 15, 2015 and TD Bank received
$1,600,000 at the time of closing, then TD Bank would have caused
the mortgage and judgment to be marked satisfied in the public
docket and released PNCH and its members.  This did not happen.  TD
Bank further submitted a Supplemental Certification of Sean Jones,
Vice President of TD Bank, calculating the amount owed up to the
hearing date.  The total as of Sept. 22, 2016 was $1,683,228.

At the close of the hearing, the Court asked the parties to address
three issues in their memoranda: (1) Whether the use of the word
"price" in section 363(f)(3) refers to gross or net proceeds from a
sale of assets, (2) Whether the proposed sale price is "fair and
reasonable," and (3) What adequate protection, if any, should be
required.

The Court says that while a plain reading suggests that the full
sale price is warranted, if the purpose of section 363(f)(3) is
that secured creditors are paid in full, then it seems a sale price
net of costs was intended.

The Debtor introduced no evidence of the marketing of the property,
or its own apparently recent appraisal.  With the sale not subject
to higher and better offers, competing bids or the lack thereof
could not lend support to the price offered.  There was no
testimony supporting the $50,000 increases in purchase price
between nine and 12 months, and 12 and 14 months, supporting that
the value of the property would increase accordingly.  Thus, the
Court finds that a fair and reasonable price was not proven.

The Court agrees that given the amount of time since the Debtor's
default; the history of failed sales; a proposed Agreement of Sale
that postpones the actual closing for nine to 14 months and
provides for the buyer to cancel the sale at its own discretion;
all merit granting great protection to TD Bank.  But since the
Court is denying the Motion to Sell, it is for TD Bank to request
adequate protection, on notice, from the Court.

(Bankr. D.N.J. Case No. 16-21540) on June 14, 2016.  Ciardi Ciardi

POTOMAC SUPPLY: 4th Circ. Affirms $500K Award to CBE
----------------------------------------------------
In the appeals case captioned CHESAPEAKE BAY ENTERPRISE, INC.,
Plaintiff-Appellee, v. CHESAPEAKE TRUST, Defendant-Appellant, and
REGIONS BANK, Defendant, No. 15-2335 (4th Cir.), a breach of
contract action was brought in bankruptcy court over a $500,000
security deposit.

Chesapeake Bay Enterprise, Inc., contracted to buy the assets of
Potomac Supply Corporation, a Chapter 11 debtor, and made an
initial security deposit. But CBE failed to follow through, and the
transaction never closed. The bankruptcy court held that PSC was
entitled to the $500,000 deposit, on the theory that it was CBE
that had breached the agreement. The district court reversed,
awarding the deposit to CBE because PSC had failed to provide the
written notice of termination required by the plain terms of the
parties' agreement.

CBE appealed, and in a careful and thorough opinion, the district
court reversed.  Under the unambiguous terms of the APA, the
district court concluded, the dispositive question was not whether
CBE had breached the Agreement.  Rather, the fate of the $500,000
hinged on whether PSC had provided written notice of termination
based on CBE's breach.  Because PSC did not issue written notice of
termination -- a fact to which both parties stipulated before the
bankruptcy court -- the Agreement required that the deposit be
returned to CBE, the district court held.

On appeal, the Trust no longer contests the district court's
interpretation of the Agreement.  Instead, it advances two
alternative arguments, both of which were considered and rejected
by the district court.  First, the Trust argues that various
communications PSC made to CBE in the course of the parties'
negotiations -- notice of a bankruptcy court hearing, the APA
amendments extending the deadline for the second deposit, and a
demand for additional information from CBE -- were sufficient to
satisfy the Agreement's requirement of written notice of
termination.  But as the district court noted, PSC has waived that
argument; instead of presenting it to the bankruptcy court, PSC
stipulated that it had "not served notice of default or termination
of any kind on CBE," the Fourth Circuit pointed out.

Second, the Trust argues that non-compliance with Section 4.3.2's
notice provision should be excused because notice of termination
would have been "futile and purposeless" in light of what it
characterizes as CBE's repudiation of the Agreement.  The district
court disagreed, holding that notice would not have been
purposeless in light of the parties' ongoing efforts to complete
the transaction, under the terms of an APA twice extended by mutual
agreement of the parties.

Accordingly, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit affirmed the opinion of the district court.

                    About Potomac Supply

Founded in 1948, Potomac Supply Corporation manufactures a diverse
range of wood products, including treated lumber, wood pellets,
decking, fencing and pallets, in its wood-processing and
production facilities.  The Kinsale, Virginia-based building-
supply manufacturer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. E.D.
Va. Case No. 12-30347) on Jan. 20, 2012, estimating assets and

Nov. 4, 2016, after considering the motion and oppositions
thereto.

Prelude Investment LLC filed a chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D.
Cal. Case No. 09-25621) on June 19, 2009.  The petition was signed

Berke, Esq., at Berke Law Offices.  The case is assigned to Judge
Barry Russel.  The Debtor estimated assets and liabilities at
$1,000,001 to $10,000,000 at the time of the filing.



PREMIER EXHIBITIONS: Plan Filing Deadline Moved to Jan. 10
----------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData.com reported that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved
Premier Exhibitions' motion to extend the exclusive period during
which the Company can file a Chapter 11 plan and solicit
acceptances thereof through and including Jan. 10, 2017.  As
previously reported, "Under the circumstances of these cases, a
premature termination of exclusivity would deny the Debtors a
meaningful opportunity to negotiate and propose a confirmable plan
and would be antithetical to the paramount objectives of Chapter
11. Termination of exclusivity at this point in time could have the
undesirable effect of encouraging the development of competing
multiple plans that could lead to unwarranted confrontations,
litigation, and administrative expenses.  Moreover, given the
current posture of these case and unresolved issues, it would be
premature and counterproductive for any nondebtor party in interest
to initiate the plan proposal process.  Instead, the requested
extension will increase the likelihood of a consensual resolution
of these cases that preserves value much more than would a plan
filed at this time - or than would a creditor-initiated plan
lacking the necessary information, foundation, and support.  The
requested extension of exclusivity will not prejudice the
legitimate interest of any creditor or other party in interest. To
the contrary, the proposed extension will advance the Debtors'
efforts to further the reconciliation process, obtain information
and answers, preserve value, and avoid unnecessary and wasteful
motion practice."

Q AND Q REALTY: Wants to Use Stablilis Fund Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Q and Q Realty LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of New York for authorization to use Stablilis Fund IV,
LP's cash collateral.

The Debtor owns a real property located at 95-02 04 35th Street,
Flushing, New York, with an approximate fair market value of
$4,360,000.  

The Debtor proposes to use cash collateral only for ordinary and
necessary operating expenses of the Property.

The Debtor's proposed Budget provides for total operating expenses
in the amount of $23,435 for the month of November 2016.

Stablilis Fund alleges to hold a first priority secured mortgage on
the Property in the approximate outstanding amount of $2,619,576.
Eastern Funding, LLC also alleges to hold a secured claim against
the Property in the approximate amount of $165,000.

The following creditors have filed Proofs of Claim in the Debtor's
Chapter 11 case:

     (a) the New York City Water Board filed a secured claim in the
amount of $15,440;

     (b) the New York City Department of Finance filed a secured
claim in the amount of $78,686.88; and

     (c) the Internal Revenue Service filed a general unsecured
claim in the amount of $29,574.48.

The Debtor proposes to grant Stabilis Fund with a replacement lien
in all of the Debtor's pre-petition and post-petition assets and
proceeds, to the extent that Stabilis Fund had a valid security
interest in said pre-petition assets, which is subject and
subordinate to the Carve-Out.

The Debtor further proposes make monthly payments to Stabilis Fund
in the amount of $13,500 as set forth in the Stabilis Mortgage, at
the non-default, contract rate of interest.

The Carve-Outs consist of:

     (a) fees payable under 28 U.S.C. Section 1930 and 31 U.S.C
Section 3717;

     (b) professional fees of duly retained professionals in the
Debtor's Chapter 11 case;

     (c) the fees and expenses of a hypothetical Chapter 7 trustee
to the extent of $5,000; and

     (d) the recovery of funds or proceeds from the successful
prosecution of avoidance actions.

The Debtor believes that the use of Cash Collateral will provide
the Debtor with adequate liquidity to pay administrative expenses
as they become due and payable during the period covered by the
Budget.

ROADHOUSE HOLDING: Wins Confirmation of Bankruptcy Exit Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brendan L. Shannon in Wilmington, Delaware,
gave his stamp of approval on the Chapter 11 exit plan filed by
Roadhouse Holding Inc., and its debtor-affiliates.

The Plan intends to cut about $300 million in debt and streamline
the Debtors' national footprint.  The Plan proposes to swap out
more than $350 million in note debt for equity in a reorganized
company.

Matt Chiappardi, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that Judge
Shannon called the Plan "excellent" in a trying time for the chain
restaurant industry, and praised the Company for running an
efficient case.

A copy of the Court's Order confirming the Debtors' First Amended
Joint Plan is available at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/deb16-11819-0555.pdf

The Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 6, 2016, reported that Class
6 General Unsecured Claims are impaired under the Plan.  On the
Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable,
except to the extent that a holder of an allowed General Unsecured
Claim agrees to less favorable treatment, in full and final
satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in
exchange
for such Claim, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim
shall receive  its Pro Rata share of the General Unsecured Claim
Cash Pool.  Holders of these claims are expected to recover
2.5%-3.5%.

The TCR, citing BankruptcyData.com, also reported that the First
Amended Plan includes a settlement with the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors and the parties to the Restructuring Support
Agreement, which resolve in principle the objections that the
Creditors' Committee raised regarding the DIP Facilities, the
Restructuring Support Agreement, and the Plan and Disclosure
Statement. That resolution is now reflected in the Final DIP Order
and Plan. Pursuant to the Creditors' Committee Settlement, the
treatment of holders of General Unsecured Claims is improved by
(i)
an increase in the amount of cash in the General Unsecured Claims
Pool from $350,000 to a total of $1 million, (ii) a waiver of
deficiency claims on account of the Notes and all other unsecured
claims held by the Unanimous Supporting Noteholders, (iii) the
waiver and release of all Avoidance Actions by the Debtors and
Reorganized Debtors, and (iv) the appointment of an Ombudsman with
consultation rights regarding the allowance of general unsecured
claims, subject to certain thresholds.

The Creditors' Committee Settlement will also provide an estimated
$5 million of increased liquidity for the benefit of the
Reorganized Debtors through a combination of adding an additional
$3.5 million of 'new money' loans under the Exit Second Lien
Facility and an estimated $1.5 million reduction in the Cash-Out
Payment as a result of lowering the threshold to determine which
holders of Unexchanged Notes Claims will receive a Cash-Out
Payment. [A]s a result of the benefits of the global settlement to
General Unsecured Creditors -- in the form of increased recoveries
and strengthening the Reorganized Debtors' financial position at
emergence -- the Creditors' Committee agreed to support
confirmation of the Plan, including the settlements and releases
embodied in the Plan."

A report by Donlin Recano's Jung W. Song on Nov. 7 shows all
classes of creditors entitled to vote on the Plan have voted to
accept the Plan.  These voting classes are Class 3 Revolving
Facility Lender Claims, Class 4 GSO Notes Claims and Kelso Notes
Claims, Class 5 Unexchanged Notes Claims, and Class 6 General
Unsecured Claims.

RWL INVESTMENTS: First State Bank Renews Objection to Cash Use
--------------------------------------------------------------
First Security Bank asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Arkansas to prohibit RWL Investments, LLC, from using
cash collateral.

First Security Bank contends that it first entered into a Consent
Order with the Debtor, which allowed the Debtor to temporarily use
cash collateral until October 31, 2016, without prejudice to First
Security Bank's rights to contest the use of the cash collateral
through a renewed objection.  First Security Bank further contends
that it renews its objection to the Debtor's use of cash collateral
because the time period has expired.

The Debtor borrowed the sum of $1,095,755.36 from First Security
Bank, pursuant to a Commercial Promissory Note, known as the 0206
Note.  First Security Bank was granted a first mortgage lien
security interest in four tracts of land located in Pulaski County,
Arkansas, known as the 0206 Real Property.  

The Debtor also borrowed $25,000 from First Security Bank, pursuant
to a Commercial Promissory Note known as the 5111 Note. First
Security Bank was granted a first mortgage lien security interest
in real property located in Pulaski County, Arkansas, known as the
5111 Real Property.

All leases and rents arising from the 0206 Real Property and the
5111 Real Property were assigned to First Security Bank.  First
Security Bank relates that the Debtor's license to collect the
rents on the 0206 Real Property and the 5111 Real Property was
revoked by First Security Bank effective February 29, 2016.

First Security Bank contends that the Debtor is in default under
the terms of the 0206 Note and the 5111 Note due to, among other
things, its failure to make the required monthly payments due and
owing on the notes; the Debtor's failure to pay the Notes in full
after First Security Bank's prepetition acceleration of the Notes;
and the Debtor's failure to pay in full the Notes upon their March
30, 2016 maturity.

First Security Bank tells the Court that it objects to the Debtor's
use of any portion of the cash collateral which consists of rents
or leases from the 0206 Real Property and the 5111 Real Property
and that it does not consent to the Debtor's use of the cash
collateral.  First Security Bank asks the Court to order the Debtor
to turn over the cash collateral to First Security Bank.  

First Security Bank asserts that the cash collateral was assigned
to First Security Bank absolutely and not as an assignment for
additional security.  It further asserts that the cash collateral
is not property of the estate and should not be retained by the
Debtor.

                          Restructuring

The Corporation previously disclosed in its Amended 10-K and Form
10-Qs for the period ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, that
it was exploring a range of transactions to address the
Corporation's significant cash flow and liquidity difficulties and
the longer term need to realign its capital structure with its
current business, given the uncertainty regarding the State of
Alaska tax credit program and the continued downturn in the oil and
natural gas exploration sector.

On June 13, 2016, the Corporation entered into a comprehensive
restructuring support agreement with holders of approximately 66%
of the par value of the Corporation's 10% senior secured notes due
2019, in which the Supporting Holders and the Corporation agreed to
a comprehensive restructuring of the Corporation's balance sheet,
which included the funding of up to $30 million in new capital.

The following is a summary of the key aspects of the
Restructuring:

Exchange of Existing Notes for New Second Lien Notes.  The
Corporation commenced an offer on June 24, 2016, to exchange each
$1 of Existing Notes held by the Existing Holders for (i) $0.50 of
newly issued 10% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2019 and (ii)
46.41 shares of newly issued Corporation common stock (giving
effect to a 135-for-1 reverse stock split that was effected in
connection with closing of the exchange offer.  The Exchange Offer
closed on July 27, 2016.  In connection with the Exchange Offer,
the Corporation also completed a consent solicitation to make
certain proposed limited amendments to the terms of the indenture
for the Existing Notes, the related security documents and the
existing intercreditor agreement to permit the Restructuring.  The
exchange was recognized in the three-month period ended Sept. 30,
2016.  

New Senior Loan Facility.  On June 29, 2016, the Supporting Holders
and the Corporation entered into a $30 million multi-draw senior
secured term loan facility.  All holders of Existing Notes that
participated in the Exchange Offer were also able to participate in
the Senior Loan Facility.  Borrowings under the Senior Loan
Facility bear interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable monthly.
The Senior Loan Facility has a maturity date of Jan. 2, 2018,
unless terminated earlier.  As part of the consideration for
providing the Senior Loan Facility, the Corporation issued to the
lenders shares equal to 28.2% of the outstanding shares of its
common stock as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the
Reverse Stock Split.

Change in Priority of Secured Indebtedness.  After the Closing
Date, the priority claims of the Corporation's secured indebtedness
are (1) the Revolving Credit Facility, which is secured by all of
the existing collateral on a senior first lien priority basis, (2)
the Senior Loan Facility, which is secured by all of the existing
collateral on a junior first lien priority basis, (3) the New
Second Lien Notes, which are secured by substantially all of the
existing collateral on a second lien priority basis and (4) the
Existing Notes, which are secured by substantially all of the
existing collateral on a third lien priority basis.

Reverse Stock Split and Issuance of Common Stock.  The
Corporation's stockholders approved a 135-for-1 reverse stock split
that was effected on the Closing Date.  After the reverse stock
split, 9,213,804 shares of common stock, representing 92.69% of the
shares outstanding as of the Closing Date, were issued to the
lenders under the New Senior Loan Facility and to tendering holders
of Existing Notes.

New Board of Directors.  Effective as of the Closing Date, the
Board of the Corporation is comprised of seven directors, of which
six directors have been appointed through the date of this filing.
After the final director appointment, the Board will consist of:
one member of senior management, four directors chosen by the
Supporting Holders, one director chosen by Whitebox Advisors LLC
and one director chosen by BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC.
Each of Blue Mountain Capital Management, LLC and Whitebox Advisors
LLC has the right to choose one director to be nominated by the
Corporation for so long as each of their common stock holdings
following the Closing Date exceed 10% of the total shares
outstanding.

Senior Management and Share-Based Compensation.  The Corporation
has entered into new employment agreements with members of its
existing senior management.  Existing equity grants under the 2013
Long-Term Incentive Plan vested as of the Closing Date for all
current participants.  Additionally, the Corporation adopted a
Management Incentive Plan, which reserves 1,038,258 total shares of
common stock for distribution to covered employees on terms.

Warrants.  As of the Closing Date, the Corporation issued warrants
to existing holders of its common stock for 4.5% of the outstanding
common stock.

Costs of Supporting Holders.  The Corporation has reimbursed the
Supporting Holders and any agent or trustee under the various debt
documents for all accrued and unpaid fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the Restructuring including the costs and expenses
incurred by counsel to the Supporting Holders in connection with
the Restructuring.

Total Indebtedness.  As of July 27, 2016, the closing date of the
Restructuring, the Corporation had $105.2 million face value of
total debt outstanding, which was a reduction of $55.1 million face
value of total debt outstanding compared to the face value of
indebtedness outstanding as of June 30, 2016.

Effect of Restructuring on Liquidity.  The new Senior Loan Facility
adds up to $30 million in additional liquidity to the Corporation.
The completion of the exchange of the Existing Notes for New Second
Lien Notes deferred the cash requirement for the July 2016 interest
payment and at the election of the Corporation allows for the
payment of interest in kind for interest covering a period of up to
12 months on the exchanged debt, with the deferred and in kind
interest payments ultimately due at the maturity of the New Second
Lien Notes.  As a consequence, the Corporation currently believes
that its existing cash, cash generated from operations and other
sources of working capital, coupled with the reduced need for
working capital due to reductions in expenses, will be sufficient
for the Corporation to meet its anticipated cash needs for the next
12 months.

SFX ENTERTAINMENT: Delaware Judge Confirms Exit Plan
----------------------------------------------------
Jeff Montgomery, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath in Delaware on Nov. 9, 2016,
confirmed the bankruptcy-exit plan of SFX Entertainment Inc., after
rejecting arguments from two current stockholders claiming that SFX
and its advisers underestimated the company's current and future
value.  That valuation ruled out any recovery for prepetition
equity holders under the company's bankruptcy plan.  Under the
Plan, $400 million in secured debt is now slated to become new
company equity.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, SFX Entertainment,
Inc., et al.'s fifth amended joint plan of reorganization dated
Sept. 30, 2016, provides that Class 5 consists of general unsecured
claims against (i) the 2019 Debtors, (ii) the Foreign Debtors, and
(iii) the Non-Obligor Debtors.  2019 Debtors' claims (estimated at
$58.50 million) are impaired, while Foreign Debtors' claims
(estimated at $2,500) and Non-Obligor Debtors' claims (estimated at
$2,300) are unimpaired.  Under the Plan, the 2019 Debtors are
expected to recover between 1.91% and 3.02%, while Foreign Debtors
and Non-Obligor Debtors are expected to recover 100%.

Each holder of an allowed Class 5 Claim (2019 Debtors), in
exchange
for full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and
compromise
of the claim, will receive on the Effective Date, or as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter: (a) the holder's pro rata share
of (i) the Series A Warrant Allocation - Class 5 Claims, (ii)
Series B Warrant Allocation - Class 5 Claims, (iii) the Litigation
Trust Primary Recovery Units, and (iv) payments under the GUC
Note;
provided, however, that as a condition to the receipt of the New
Warrants, the holder will be required to execute the applicable
New
Governance Documents; and (b) the holder's pro rata share of
Litigation Trust Secondary Recovery Units.

The legal, equitable and contractual rights of the holders of
allowed Class 5 claims (Foreign Debtors) will be unaltered by the
Plan.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the holder of an allowed
Class
5 claim (Foreign Debtors) and the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, each holdler of an allowed Class 5 claim
(Foreign Debtors) will receive in full, final and complete
satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of the allowed
Class 5 claim (Foreign Debtors): (a) payment in full in cash; (b)
reinstatement pursuant to Section 1124 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code;
(c) other consideration so as to render the allowed Class 5 claim
(Foreign Debtors) unimpaired.

The legal, equitable and contractual rights of the holders of
allowed Class 5 claims (Non-Obligor Debtors) will be unaltered by
the Plan.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the holder of an allowed
Class 5 claim (Non-Obligor Debtors) and the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, each holder of an allowed
Class
5 claim (Non-Obligor Debtors) will receive in full, final and
complete satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of the
allowed Class 5 claim (Non-Obligor Debtors): (a) payment in full
in
cash; (b) reinstatement pursuant to Section 1124 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code; or (c) other consideration so as to render
allowed
Class 5 claim (Non-Obligor Debtors) unimpaired.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, the Debtors, the
Reorganized
Debtors, and the new equity issuer, as applicable, are authorized
to execute and deliver documents necessary or appropriate to
obtain
cash for funding the Plan, and to sell and use proceeds from the
sale of shares of the New Series A Preferred Stock and any funds
held by the Debtors on the Effective Date or available under the
DIP facility, (i) to make distributions required by the Plan, (ii)
to pay other expenses of the Chapter 11 cases, to the extent so
ordered by the Court, and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the new equity issuer
will be entitled to transfer funds between and among themselves as
they determine to be necessary or appropriate to enable the
Reorganized Debtors to satisfy their obligations under the Plan.

In September, the Delaware Court rejected an attempt by
shareholders to appoint an official equity committee.  Matt
Chiappardi, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that during a
hearing in Wilmington on Sept. 28, Judge Walrath said the issues
shareholders were bringing up about SFX total value were more
appropriate as objections to confirmation of the debtor's Chapter
11 plan.

WPP Luxembourg Gamma Three S.A.R.L. sought appointment of an equity
committee.  In their response, the Debtors said common equity is
"out of the money" by over $440 million.   The Debtors explained
that the total enterprise value as determined by Moelis represents
the going concern value of all of their assets.  In order for there
to be equity value, the total enterprise value would need to exceed
the over $600 million in estimated liabilities senior to common
equity.

                    About SFX Entertainment

SFX Entertainment, Inc., and 43 of its affiliates, a global
producer of live events and digital entertainment content focused
exclusively on the electronic music culture and other world-class
festivals, filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions (Bankr. D. Del.
Case Nos. 16-10238 to 16-10281) on Feb. 1, 2016.  The petitions
were signed by Michael Katzenstein as chief restructuring officer.

The Debtors disclosed total assets of $662 million and total debt
of $490 million.

Judge Mary F. Walrath is assigned to the case.

Greenberg Traurig, LLP serves as the Debtors' counsel.  Kurtzman
Carson Consultants LLC acts as the Debtors' claims and noticing
agent.  The Debtor hired FTI Consulting Inc. to provide crisis and
turnaround management services.

Pachulski
Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as counsel, and Conway Mackenzie, Inc., as

SHORT ENTERPRISES: Wants Court Authorization to Use Cash
--------------------------------------------------------
Short Enterprises, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Illinois for authorization to use cash
collateral.

The Debtor owes $1,111,919, plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees
and costs, to Anna-Jonesboro National Bank, The Bank of Carbondale,
First Southern Bank, and Murphy Wall Bank.  The indebtedness is
secured by valid, perfected, enforceable, first-priority liens and
security interests upon and in the Debtor's real estate and
inventory, accounts, improvements, and their proceeds.

The Debtor tells the Court that it requires the use of cash
collateral to meet post-petition payroll, to pay necessary business
expenses, and to continue their operations.  The Debtor further
tells the Court that it cannot carry on the operation of its
business without the use of the cash collateral.

The Debtor relates that a Monthly Budget, showing the amount of
funds needed to maintain the Debtor's operations until the entry of
a final order permitting the use of cash collateral is yet to be
reviewed and approved by its Secured Creditors and the Court.

The Debtor proposes to grant its Secured Creditors with valid,
binding, enforceable, and duly perfected replacement security
interests that are only valid and non-avoidable to the same extent
that the prepetition liens of the Secured Creditors are valid and
non-avoidable.

STERIGENICS-NORDION: Moody's Assigns B3 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service reassigned Sterigenics' B3 Corporate
Family Rating (CFR) and B3-PD Probability of Default Rating (PDR)
to a different entity in the legal structure, for administrative
purposes. These ratings, which had previously resided at
Sterigenics-Nordion Holdings LLC, are now assigned to
Sterigenics-Nordion Topco LLC. There are no other changes to the
company's ratings or the stable rating outlook.

Ratings Assigned:

   Sterigenics-Nordion Topco LLC

   -- Corporate Family Rating at B3

   -- Probability of Default Rating at B3-PD

Ratings withdrawn:

   Sterigenics-Nordion Holdings LLC

   -- Corporate Family Rating at B3

   -- Probability of Default Rating at B3-PD

Ratings unchanged:

   Sterigenics-Nordion Holdings, LLC

   -- Senior secured first lien revolving credit facility expiring

      2020 at B1 (LGD 3)

   -- Senior secured first lien term loan due 2022 at B1 (LGD 3)

   -- Senior secured floating rate notes due 2022 at B1 (LGD 3)

   -- Senior unsecured notes due 2023 at Caa1 (LGD 5)

   -- The outlook is stable.

   Sterigenics-Nordion Topco LLC

   -- Senior unsecured PIK global notes due 2021 at Caa2 (LGD 6)

   -- The outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B3 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) is constrained by Sterigenics'
very high financial leverage. Pro forma for the dividend
recapitalization and recent acquisitions, Moody's projects adjusted
debt to EBITDA to be approximately 8.0 times. Moody's expects free
cash flow of roughly $40-60 million annually during 2017 and 2018,
enabling Sterigenics to reduce its adjusted leverage towards 7.0
times over that time horizon. The rating is further constrained by
the company's modest scale and business risks related to
vulnerability to supply chain disruptions. Sterigenics is also
exposed to environmental risks associated with the highly sensitive
nature of the company's handling of hazardous raw materials in its
manufacturing process, including radioactive isotopes and toxic
gases.

The B3 rating is supported by Sterigenics' leading position in the
contract sterilization outsourcing market, as well as high barriers
to entry and customer switching costs, which lead to relatively
stable market share. The rating is further supported by
Sterigenics' primary customers, namely medical device and food
manufacturers, and the paramount importance of their products'
safety. These customers also tend to be less sensitive to economic
cycles than companies that produce more discretionary goods.
Moody's expects that around two-thirds of the company's EBITDA will
be generated by the contract sterilization business, which is
likely to remain stable as long as it is not disrupted by raw
material sourcing issues.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that the
company will, through a combination of EBITDA growth and to a
lesser extent debt reduction, begin to lower its very high
leverage.

Moody's could upgrade the ratings if credit metrics improve and
financial leverage is lowered such that adjusted debt to EBITDA is
sustained below 6.0 times. The company would also need to
demonstrate a commitment to more conservative financial policies
and successfully manage the transition of its Moly-99 nuclear
reactor source.

Moody's could downgrade the ratings if the company's capital
structure appears untenable, if liquidity materially deteriorates
or if a material adverse event results in legal liabilities or a
business distribution.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in October 2016.

Sterigenics-Nordion Topco, LLC, the parent company of
Sterigenics-Nordion Holdings, LLC, (collectively, "Sterigenics"),
headquartered in Oak Brook, IL, is a vertically integrated provider
of contract sterilization services, gamma technologies and medical
isotopes. The company operates across four businesses: 1)
sterilization services (57% of revenues) -- provider of contract
sterilization mainly for the medical device industry; 2) gamma
technologies (16% of revenues) -- supplier of Cobalt-60 to other
companies for contract sterilization; 3) medical isotopes (16% of
revenues) -- supplier of medical isotopes for healthcare
procedures; and 4) lab services (11% of revenues) -- provider of
microbiology testing services. Sterigenics operates 49 facilities
across 13 countries and serves over 2,500 customers worldwide. The
company generated total LTM revenue of $594 million through June
30, 2016. Sterigenics is majority-owned by private equity firm,
Warburg Pincus with a minority interest held by GTCR.

Power, Inc. ("TERP") and TerraForm Global, Inc. ("GLBL").  Teh
Committee alleges that each of TERP and GLBL received from SUNE
and/or certain of SUNE's Debtor subsidiaries -- including, without
limitation, NVT, LLC -- in connection with the YieldCos' initial
public offerings -- and after, and, upon information and belief,
while SUNE and those Debtor subsidiaries were insolvent, completed
energy projects -- services and payments worth hundreds of
millions, if not billions, of dollars, for which SUNE and its
relevant Debtor subsidiaries, also upon information and belief, did
not receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange.  Some of the
projects, services and payments were conveyed, rendered or made
during the year preceding the commencement of these bankruptcy
cases.

According to the Committee, immediately following the IPOs, SUNE,
either directly or through a wholly owned Debtor subsidiary,
retained an equity interest in TERP of approximately 64% and an
equity interest in GLBL of approximately 33%.  SUNE's equity
interest in TERP has reduced over time -- from approximately 64%
immediately following the IPO, to approximately 43% in November
2015 and approximately 35% as of the Petition Date.  The delta
between the value of the contributed projects, services and
payments, on the one hand, and the value of the equity that SUNE
received in exchange, on the other hand, is in the hundreds of
millions of dollars, if not more -- an amount only marginally
offset by other consideration that SUNE may have received at the
time.

Put simply, SUNE did not receive reasonably equivalent value in
exchange for the project transfers (and the granting of various
other rights) to or for the benefit of the YieldCos, which, the
Committee asserts, gives rise to liability for:

     (a) actual fraud under section 548(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy
Code and/or

     (b) constructive fraud under section 548(a)(1)(B) of the
Bankruptcy Code,

given that, upon information and belief, SUNE and the other Debtor
transferors were insolvent at the time of the IPOs under a "balance
sheet," "unreasonably small capital" and/or "ability to pay debts"
test, as will be established through expert reports and testimony.

The Committee also alleges that in connection with the IPOs, TERP
and/or GLBL also obtained, among other things:

     -- the right to receive from SUNE substantial interest support
payments;

     -- reimbursement by SUNE for certain capital expenditures,
operations & maintenance ("O&M") fees, and other labor fees in
excess of budgeted amounts (subject to certain cap amounts and
other limitations through 2019); and

     -- a right of first offer with respect to certain SUNE
developed projects.  

Pursuant to Interest Payment Agreements entered into with both TERP
and GLBL contemporaneously with their IPOs, SUNE agreed to pay an
amount equal to all of the scheduled interest on certain YieldCo
indebtedness -- namely, a TERP term loan and GLBL senior unsecured
notes -- for certain periods of time: until the term loan's third
anniversary in the case of TERP and until December 31, 2016 in the
case of GLBL.

Pursuant to the Interest Payment Agreement between SUNE and GLBL,
SUNE agreed to pay $40 million in 2017, $30 million in 2018, $20
million in 2019, and $10 million in 2020 towards the scheduled
interest on the senior unsecured notes.

Moreover, after the IPOs, SUNE and/or certain of SUNE's Debtor
subsidiaries (i) contributed additional projects to the YieldCos
(including, but not limited to, the
transfers of Fairwinds, Crundale and the U.K. Call Rights Projects
to TERP and the transfer of Chint-Witkop/Soutpan to GLBL) and (ii)
made interest support and other payments to TERP and GLBL, between
2014 and 2016, in amounts totaling or exceeding approximately $92
million and $47 million, respectively.  These transfers and
payments, for which SUNE and the other Debtor transferors, again,
did not receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange, are also
avoidable under section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code.

SUNE and/or certain of SUNE's Debtor subsidiaries (including,
without limitation, NVT) made interest support and other payments
to the YieldCos during the one-year preference period (applicable
to insiders like the YieldCos) prior to the commencement of these
bankruptcy cases.  With respect to TERP, SUNE and/or certain of its
Debtor subsidiaries
(including, without limitation, NVT) made, at a minimum, transfers
totaling $90.5 million in the one-year period prior to the
commencement of these cases. With respect to GLBL, SUNE made, at a
minimum, transfers totaling approximately $47 million in the
one-year period  prior to the commencement of these cases.  These
transfers, the Committee contends, are all avoidable under section
547 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Committee believes it satisfies all of the requirements for
granting derivative standing to pursue these causes of action on
behalf of the applicable Debtors' estates. Prosecution of these
causes of action, the Committee states, is critical because their
resolution will, among other things, benefit the Debtors' estates
and creditors -- including the Debtors' unsecured creditors, who,
pursuant to the terms of the DIP Settlement, are the direct
beneficiaries of any recoveries from, among other things, avoidance
actions.

The Committee further tells the Court that on October 7, 2016, they
demanded that the Debtors immediately prosecute the Proposed Claims
on behalf of the estates or grant the Committee standing to do so.
The Debtors responded to the Committee's Demand Letter through
counsel on October 18, 2016 and refused to do either.

The Committee filed together with its request for standing, a
proposed adversary complaint  against the YieldCos.

Objections to the Committee's request for standing are due November
29, 2016.

TAR HEEL OIL II: Trustee's Supply Pact With Cary Has Interim Nod
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Benjamin A. Kahn on Nov. 4, 2016, entered a sixth interim
order authorizing Tar Heel Oil II, Inc. ("Tarheel") and Gambill
Oil, LLC, through their trustee, to continue to operate under a
Supply Agreement with petroleum supplier Cary Oil Co. Inc.

Prepetition, the Debtors used the services of Cary Oil Co. Inc.
("Cary Oil") as their petroleum supplier.  On Sept. 15, 2010,
Tarheel entered into a Co-Marketer Agreement (the "Tarheel
Agreement") with Cary Oil, whereby Cary Oil agreed to supply
petroleum products to Tarheel at an agreed upon price based upon
certain historical volume numbers, along with other terms and
conditions.  On Feb. 23, 2012, Gambill entered into a Co-Marketer
Agreement (the "Gambill Agreement") with Cary Oil, whereby Cary Oil
agreed to supply petroleum products to Gambill, at an agreed upon
price based upon certain historical volume numbers, along with
other terms and conditions.  The Tarheel Agreement and the Gambill
Agreement were modified from time to time.

On Feb. 1, 2015, Cary Oil and the Debtors entered into a Proposed
Note Modification and Supply Agreement (the "Agreement").  The
Agreement incorporates the terms and conditions of the Co-Marketer
Agreements, and also incorporates the Promissory Notes previously
entered into between the Debtors and Cary Oil. The Agreement
restructured the indebtedness owed to Cary Oil, while upholding the
Co-Marketer Agreements.

The Agreement provided these relevant terms, in addition to those
outlined in the Co-Marketer Agreements:

    A) Cary Oil continues to provide petroleum products to the
Debtors, under the same terms and conditions as the Co-Marketer
Agreements;

    B) Cary Oil reduces the interest rate on the outstanding
balance due and owing to Cary Oil from the Debtors from 12% per
annum to 1% per annum;

    C) The payment on the outstanding indebtedness due and owing to
Cary Oil from the Debtors is reduced to be equal to $7,258.93 per
month;

    D) The payment on the indebtedness is repaid directly from the
payment on the supply of petroleum made by the Debtors;

    E) In addition to the payment, Cary Oil charges the Debtor a
$0.009 security adder (the "Security Adder") on every gallon of
petroleum sold to the Debtors; and

    F) The Security Adder is deposited into a security fund (the
"Security Fund"), housed, maintained, and managed by Cary Oil.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the payment on the indebtedness owed to
Cary Oil and the Security Adder were taken from monies that Cary
Oil received from the Debtors Credit Card sales.  The monthly
payment on the indebtedness owed to Cary Oil from the Debtors is
fixed, pursuant to the Agreement, and continues until the principal
balance is repaid.  The actual payment applied to the Security Fund
fluctuates from month to month, based upon the actual gallons of
fuel purchased.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Cary Oil asserts a first priority
security interest in the Security Fund.  The Security Fund
guaranteed performance on the repayment of the loan, and repayment
of the line of credit operated by Cary Oil for the purchase of
petroleum, in the event the Debtors failed to make a payment.  

As of Feb. 29, 2016, the Debtors estimate the Security Fund held a
balance of approximately $81,132.  The Security Fund is Sec. 541
Property of the Estate.  The Debtors are currently uncertain how
much of the Security Fund is owned by Tarheel, and how much of the
Security Fund is owned by Gambill, although both Debtors
acknowledge that either Debtor may have claims to all of the
monies.

Additionally, the Security Fund acted as a demand deposit account
for the Debtors, should they need to purchase fuel but be otherwise
unable to pay for said fuel, pending approval of the application of
those funds for said purposes by Cary Oil.  As the Security Fund is
operated by Cary Oil, the Agreement acts as a type of financing
agreement, over and above the credit agreement between the parties
that was created pursuant to the Co-Marketer Agreements.

The Debtors are in need of a petroleum product supplier. Without a
petroleum product supplier, the Debtors would not be able to
continue operations of their businesses.

The Debtors are uncertain if any replacement petroleum product
supplier would be willing to provide petroleum to the Debtors on
credit.  The Debtors lack the finances to directly purchase
petroleum products and wait for credit card purchase funds to flow
into the Debtors' account.

Furthermore, while the Debtors believe that they could procure a
replacement petroleum product supplier, potentially purchasing fuel
on credit, they believe the terms of the new supply agreement would
not be as advantageous as those outlined in the Agreement. The
Debtors are informed and believe that an alternative supplier would
charge the Debtors a higher price per gallon of fuel purchased than
Cary Oil currently provides.  The higher price per gallon would
significantly impact the viability of the Debtors' businesses,
negatively impact the Debtors' ability to effectively reorganize,
and would decrease any potential return to other secured creditors
and unsecured creditors under a Plan of Reorganization.  Failure to
authorize the Debtors to operate pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement will cause immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors
and their creditors.

Were the Debtors required to procure a replacement petroleum
product supplier, the Debtors would be in breach of the Agreement.
The breach of the Agreement could adversely impact the Debtors
assets and the administration of the case.

On Oct. 31, 2016, the Debtor defaulted under the Agreement by
failing to pay amounts owed to Cary Oil.  As a result of this
default, Cary Oil stopped selling fuel to the Debtors.

In open court on Nov. 3, 2016, the Court granted the motion of the
Bankruptcy Administrator to appoint John Paul H. Cournoyer as
Chapter 11 Trustee for the Debtors (the "Trustee").

Cary Oil and the Trustee have negotiated and agreed to amend the
Agreement to modify the Debtors' structure from a consignment model
to a wholesale model, which generally will function as follows (to
the extent the terms of the Agreement conflict with the
summarization below, the terms of the Amended Agreement will
control):

    a. Upon receipt of a signed Three Party Agreement in
substantially the same form as the one attached to the Amended
Agreement, EFT Authorization and W9, Cary Oil shall invoice each
customer of the debtor (a "Dealer") for final Debtors' inventory in
the tanks at Dealer Site.  The cost per gallon invoiced will be
determined by the Debtors.

     b. Cary Oil will remit all funds received in payment for
inventory invoiced to Dealers under paragraph 1.a to Debtors on
Nov. 14, 2016, or within three business days of receipt of such
funds if payment is received after Nov. 13, 2016.

    c. Cary Oil will nightly communicate the delivered cost of
product to Dealers via email or fax messaging.

    d. Cary Oil will facilitate deliveries to Dealer using normal
commercial terms, typically within 48 hours of order.  Cary Oil
will invoice Dealer, directly, for product deliveries, using the
product margin schedule provided by Debtors, which will establish
for each Dealer a fixed margin amount of the delivered cost of the
product that is payable to the Debtors (the "Margin Funds").  Cary
Oil will invoice Dealer for all amounts due on net 10 day terms.

    e. Cary Oil will daily post net credit card receipts to the
account of Dealer.

    f. On the 10th day following delivery, Cary will draft the bank
account of dealer for the net amount due for product less credit
card settlements received and posted by Cary as of the prior
business day.  If credit card receipts exceed amount due for
product, Cary will push net funds to Dealer, at Dealer's request.

    g. Cary Oil will pay the Margin Funds due to the Debtors by
Tuesday of each week with respect to invoices paid during the
previous week.

    h. Cary Oil shall provide summary reports and supporting detail
to the Debtors on or before the 10th day of each month with respect
to all settlements occurring during the previous month.

    i. In the event an EFT draft does not clear Dealer's account
for any reason.

Cary Oil will immediately suspend deliveries to Dealer and notify
the Debtors.

Cary Oil will deduct any ACH draft shortfalls from the Margin Funds
owed to Tar Heel Oil.

The Trustee believes that approval of the Amended Agreement on an
interim basis is in the best interests of the estate, since it will
preserve the going concern value of the Debtors' businesses, and
enable the Trustee to evaluate and pursue the best method for
maximizing value for the estates' creditors by means of a sale of
the Debtors' assets other otherwise.

A further hearing on the Supply Agreement Motion and any objections
and responses to the Supply Agreement Motion will be held will be
held at 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 15, 2016, at Courtroom 1 of the United
States Bankruptcy Court at 101 S. Edgeworth St., Greensboro, N.C.

TOSHIBA SAMSUNG STORAGE: Delaware Judge Permits Discovery
---------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Guarnaccia, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reported that
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher S. Sontchi has entered a two-page

Chapter 15 of the bankruptcy code for 14 days in order for the
liquidating trustees to conduct discovery.

TRICORBRAUN HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'B' CCR; Outlook Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it has assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to TricorBraun Holdings Inc. and TCB Holdings II
Corp.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery rating to the company's proposed $735 million first-lien
secured credit facilities, which comprise a $75 million revolver
due 2021, a $600 million term loan due 2023, and a $60 million
delayed draw term loan due 2023.  The '3' recovery rating reflects
S&P's expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; upper half of the range)
recovery in a payment default scenario.

Additionally, S&P assigned its 'CCC+' issue-level rating and '6'
recovery rating to TricorBraun Holdings' proposed $350 million
second-lien notes.  The '6' recovery rating reflects S&P's
expectation for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in a payment default
scenario.

S&P also revised its outlook on TricorBraun Inc. to negative from
stable and affirmed all of S&P's existing ratings on the company.
S&P intends to withdraw its issue ratings on the company upon the
completion of this transaction because its debt will have been
refinanced.

"The 'B' corporate credit rating reflects our view that, despite
the additional debt leverage TricorBraun will operate with
following the transaction (we estimate that the company's adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA will rise to 7.7x at the outset from 7.0x as of
Sept. 30, 2016,), the plastic packaging distributor's solid market
position in the less-cyclical health care, personal care, and
beverage end markets should allow it to generate sufficient cash
flow to reduce its adjusted debt-to-EBITDA metric back to 7.0x,
which we deem appropriate for the current rating (as long as we
continue to assess the company's liquidity as adequate)," said S&P
Global credit analyst James Siahaan.  "The negative outlook
recognizes the company's high debt leverage levels and incorporates
the risk that operational weakness, debt-funded acquisitions, or
shareholder-friendly financial policy decisions could delay the
company from reducing its pro forma adjusted debt-to-EBITDA metric
back to 7.0x by the end of next year."

The negative outlook on TricorBraun reflects that there is a
one-in-three possibility that S&P will lower its rating on the
company in the next year if it does not reduce its adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA to the 7x level that S&P considers appropriate for
the current rating.  The company's defensible position as a leading
distribution company in its sector supports S&P's ratings, as well
as its track record of meaningful annual free cash flow generation,
which should support its liquidity position over the business
cycle.  S&P expects the company to smoothly integrate any midsize
acquisitions that it may undertake.

S&P could lower its rating on TricorBraun if debt-funded
acquisitions or significant shareholder distributions weaken its
financial profile.  S&P could also lower the rating if weak
operating conditions cause the company's results to come in below
S&P's expectations.  Based on the downside scenario S&P is
forecasting, it could lower its rating on the company if its
operating margins weaken by more than 150 basis points while its
volumes stay flat.  In S&P's downside scenario, the company's total
adjusted debt-to-EBITDA would deteriorate toward 8x and its
FFO-to-total adjusted debt ratio would decrease to less than 5%.
S&P could also lower its ratings if unexpected cash outlays or
business challenges reduce the company's liquidity position, or if
its covenant cushions tighten to less than 10%.

Although S&P does not expect to do so in the next year, it could
slightly raise its rating on TricorBraun over the intermediate-term
if the company's profitability improves significantly (by 300 basis
points) while its revenue increases by 3% and its liquidity remains
healthy.  These factors would cause the company's adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA ratio to improve to less than 5.5x and its
FFO-to-total adjusted debt ratio to rise to almost 9%.  In order to
upgrade the company, S&P would also need to be convinced that the
company's financial policies will support a higher rating.

retainer agreement with Roark Law Offices, and prior to the filing
of the petition, a retainer of $15,000.00 was deposited with Roark
Law Offices. It is the security for the Chapter 11 filing fee of
$1,717, for costs incurred, and for attorney's fees and any legal
support staff.

As of the date of filing, the retainer was fully earned in the sum
of $13,283 (consisting of legal fees and costs expended for third
party services) but has been voluntarily discounted by Holly Roark
of Roark Law Offices by $4,000 down to $9,283.00, and said amount
has been drawn down for services rendered pre-petition in the three
and a half months leading up to the filing of the case, and
$4,000.00 remains in the trust account of Roark Law Offices after
the payment of the Chapter 11 filing fee. Post-petition services
shall be paid upon Court approval of such amounts.

Holly Roark, Esq., sole proprietor attorney doing business as Roark
Law Offices, assured the Court that the firm is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy

UCI INT'L: Seeks Approval of Settlement Agreement with Rank
-----------------------------------------------------------
UCI International, LLC, on Nov. 10, 2016, disclosed that it has
filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware seeking authority to enter into a settlement agreement
between the Company, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
and the Ad Hoc Committee of Senior Noteholders and Rank Group
Limited ("Rank").  The agreement releases Rank and its affiliates
from liability for all potential causes of action in exchange for
an affiliate of Rank assuming the Company's three defined benefit
pension plans and providing certain other non-cash consideration to
the Company.  The settlement agreement is supported by all major
creditor constituencies in the case.

The motion seeking approval of the settlement agreement, together
with a separate agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation to facilitate the transfer of the pension plans to
Rank, are scheduled to be heard by the bankruptcy court on December
6, 2016.  The settlement is consistent with the Rank Contribution
Election provided for in the Company's plan of reorganization.  A
confirmation hearing on the Plan is also scheduled for December 6,
2016.

"We are pleased that, after extensive negotiations, all parties
have been able to reach a settlement that will eliminate costly
litigation and provides considerable benefit to UCI," said
Brian Whittman, UCI's Chief Restructuring Officer.  "The settlement
improves the recovery for all of our creditors and further
positions UCI for a successful reorganization."

UCI also disclosed that Michael Klein, a veteran industry leader,
has agreed to serve as chairman of the board after its emergence
from bankruptcy.  Mr. Klein has previously served as CEO of Armored
Auto Group, IDQ and Murray's Discount Auto Stores and is currently
chairman of the board of the Auto Care Association.  Mr. Klein
commented that "I am excited to have the opportunity to join a
revitalized UCI.  The Company has great people and products and the
restructuring positions UCI to provide even better products and
service to its customers."  The remaining members of the
post-emergence board are expected to be named later this month and
Greg Noethlich and Brett McBrayer will continue to lead the
Company.

UCI's principal operating subsidiaries include Airtex Products,
L.P., ASC Industries, Inc., and Champion Laboratories, Inc.

VANGUARD NATURAL: Lowers Credit Facility Borrowing Base to $1.1B
----------------------------------------------------------------
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of
Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC, originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Oct. 26, 2016, the Company
entered into the Limited Waiver and Eleventh Amendment to the Third
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended from time to
time, among the Borrower, Citibank N.A., as Administrative Agent
and L/C Issuer and the financial institutions party thereto.

On Oct. 26, 2016, the Administrative Agent indicated to the Company
that it recommended an additional decrease in the borrowing base
from $1.325 billion to $1.1 billion.  On Nov. 3, 2016, the
reduction in the borrowing base became effective following approval
by two-thirds of the First Lien Lenders (voting by commitments).

The Company's decrease in its borrowing base from $1.325 billion to
$1.1 billion became effective on Nov. 3, 2016.  As of that date,
Vanguard has $1.3 billion in outstanding borrowings and
approximately $0.3 million in outstanding letters of credit,
resulting in a borrowing base deficiency of approximately $187.3
million, not including current cash on hand of approximately $29
million.  After consideration of the first $37.5 million deficiency
payment made in connection with the Waiver and Eleventh Amendment
on Oct. 26, 2016, the Company intends to repay the remaining
borrowing base deficiency of $187.3 million in five equal monthly
installments of $37.5 million beginning in January 2017.  The
Company anticipates that its forecasted excess cash flow will not
be sufficient to pay the remaining borrowing base deficiency.
Refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or
delaying our drilling program or seeking to raise additional
capital through non-traditional lending or other private sources of
capital will be necessary to satisfy this requirement in order to
be back in compliance under the Credit Agreement.

VOICEPULSE INC: Selling Tangible and Intangible Assets for $300K
----------------------------------------------------------------
VoicePulse, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of New Jersey to authorize the sale of tangible and intangible
assets to VoicePulse Holdings, LLC for the sum of $300,000, subject
to higher and better offers.

A hearing on the Motion is set for Dec. 5, 2016, at 10:00 a.m.

Since April 2003, the Debtor has provided hosted phone services to
wholesale and business customers as well consumer customers.  Ravi
Sakaria is the President of the Debtor and its sole shareholder.
The Debtor is located at 1095 Cranbury South River Road, Unit 16,
Jamesburg, New Jersey.  Including Mr. Sakaria, the Debtor now has 5
full-time employees.

Over the course of the last 6 years, several issues have affected
the Debtor's business.  There has been a slow attrition of
customers, which accelerated over the last 6 months.  Moreover,
there has been increased competition, which has put the Debtor at a
strategic disadvantage, because it cannot be price-competitive
based upon aging infrastructure.  Furthermore, there was a
contentious litigation involving Ketan P. Patel, Mr. Sakaria's
cousin, which resulted in a Settlement Agreement whereby the Debtor
paid $11,111 monthly, in addition to other significant settlement
payments previously made since in or about November 2010.

Vendors were threatening to disconnect the Debtor's services, which
would in turn interrupt services to the Debtor's customers.  This
would have lead to irreparable harm to the Debtor's business.  Cash
would have ceased and enterprise value would have diminished.
Therefore, left with no choice based upon a pending shut-off by a
creditor, the Debtor filed its voluntary Chapter 11 Petition on an
emergent basis.

The Debtor and WebBank ("Web") entered into a Business Loan
Agreement ("Web Agreement") dated Feb. 26, 2016, whereby Secured
Creditor advanced the Debtor the sum of $150,000.  The Web
Agreement granted the Security Creditor a security interest, which
was further secured by a UCC-1 financing statement.

The collateral subject to the Secured Creditor's lien is set forth
in its filed UCC-1 (and continuation statement), and includes all
of the Debtor's present and future accounts, chattel paper, deposit
accounts, personal property, assets and fixtures, general
intangibles, instruments, equipment, inventory wherever located,
and proceeds now or hereafter owned or acquired.  Mr. Sakaria
signed a Personal Guaranty for the Web debt.

Upon information and belief, although the Web Agreement is termed a
"loan" agreement, it is a merchant services agreement, whereby the
Debtor's bank accounts linked to customer credit card deposits are
swept daily.  There was a weekday payment amount of $564, and the
anticipated maturity date is approximately June 2, 2017.

Pursuant to the various Orders authorizing the use of cash
collateral, the loan payments to WebBank were converted into
monthly payments of $1,297.  As of the Petition Date, Secured
Creditor is owed approximately $122,300.  According to the UCC
Financing Statement in favor of Secured Creditor, it enjoys a lien
on, among other things, Debtor's accounts.

The Debtor engaged in negotiations with the Purchaser, and
ultimately executed an Asset Purchase Agreement on Nov. 1, 2016.
The Debtor will accept all higher and better offers for the assets
on the date of the hearing set by the Court on the within Motion.

A copy of the Agreement attached to the Motion is available for
free at:

      http://bankrupt.com/misc/VoicePulse_Inc_91_Sales.pdf

All interested bidders must attend the sale hearing and notify the
Debtor's counsel of their intent to bid at the sale hearing no
later than 7 days prior to the date set by the Court for the
hearing.  All higher and better offers must be in $10,000
increments.  In the event that the Purchaser is not the successful
bidder, the successful bidder must agree to the terms of sale set
forth in the attached Agreement of Sale.  To the extent that the
Agreement provides for employment by the Purchaser of Mr. Sakaria,
if Purchaser chooses not to waive this provision, Mr. Sakaria would
have to agree to the terms and conditions of his employment.

To compensate for serving as a "stalking horse," whose bid will be
subject to higher or better offers, the Debtor seeks to provide the
Purchaser with certain protections, Purchaser is not the successful
bidder.  The Debtor believes that the protections are reasonable,
given the benefits to the estate of having a definitive agreement
and the risk that a third party offer ultimately may be accepted,
and the protections are necessary to reserve and enhance the value
of the bankruptcy estate. In the present case, the Purchaser seeks
to be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses in an amount not
to exceed $15,000, if such Purchaser is not the successful bidder.

The sale of the Debtor's business has been advertised on
BusinessBroker.net since Oct. 19, 2016, and BizBuySell.com since
Oct. 21, 2016, and will continue to be advertised through the date
of the sale.  Additionally, the Debtor will list the business for
sale in the Business Opportunity Section of the Newark Star Ledger
for 2 consecutive weekends prior to the return date.

The Debtor is selling the assets, free and clear of liens, claims
and encumbrances for $300,000.  The purchase price will be paid as
follows: (i) $30,000 initial deposit was provided upon execution of
the Agreement, and (ii) monthly installments of $5,000 per month
for 54 consecutive calendar months beginning 6 months following the
closing.  ArenaOne, LLC, an existing New York limited liability
company, has agreed to provide a corporate guaranty for the
purchase price.

The closing is expected to take place on Dec. 31, 2016.  The Debtor
will assign its rights under all existing customer contracts, and
will also assign its rights under an unexpired executory contract
with Coredial to the Purchaser.  All other existing contracts will
be expressly rejected by the Debtor, to be effective on the actual
closing date.  None of the contracts sought to be assigned are in
default for any monetary or non-monetary reason.  Therefore, there
is no amount to cure by the Debtor before assigning its rights to
Purchaser.

Although the Closing Date is not scheduled until Dec. 31, 2016, the
Debtor seeks to waive the stay requirements under Rule 6004(h) in
connection with the sale of the estate's interest in the assets, in
its discretion.

The case is In re VoicePulse, Inc. (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No.
16-25075).  Since April 2003, VoicePulse, Inc., has provided hosted
phone
services to wholesale and business customers, as well consumer
customers. Ravi Sakaria is the president and sole shareholder.

WEATHERFORD INT'L: Moody's Cuts Corp. Family Rating to B3
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Weatherford International
Ltd.'s (Weatherford or Weatherford Bermuda, incorporated in
Bermuda) Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to B3 from B1 and its
Probability of Default Rating to B3-PD from B1-PD. Moody's also
downgraded both Weatherford Bermuda's and Weatherford
International, LLC's (Weatherford Delaware, incorporated in
Delaware) senior unsecured ratings to Caa1 from B2. The Speculative
Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-3 was affirmed. The rating outlook
remains negative.

"The downgrade of Weatherford's CFR reflects its very weak cash
flow from operations, which is untenable relative to the company's
debt balances and is not commensurate with peers at the prior B1
CFR level," commented Gretchen French, Moody's Vice President.
"While Weatherford should experience modest improvement in cash
flows in 2017, Moody's does not expect the increase to be
sufficient to indicate a more sustainable capital structure."

Rating actions include:

   Weatherford International Ltd. (Bermuda)

   -- Corporate Family Rating, downgraded to B3 from B1

   -- Probability of Default Rating, downgraded to B3-PD from B1-
      PD

   -- Senior Unsecured Notes, downgraded to Caa1 (LGD 4) from B2
      (LGD 4)

   -- Backed Senior Unsecured Shelf Rating, downgraded to (P)Caa1
      from (P)B2

   -- Backed Subordinate Shelf Rating, downgraded to (P)Caa2 from
      (P)B3

   -- Backed Preferred Shelf Rating, downgraded to (P)Caa2 from
      (P)B3

   -- Preference Shelf Rating, downgraded to (P)Caa2 from (P)B3

   -- Commercial Paper Rating, affirmed at Not Prime

   -- Speculative Grade Liquidity, affirmed at SGL-3

   -- Rating outlook, remains Negative

   Weatherford International, LLC. (Delaware)

   -- Senior Unsecured Notes, downgraded to Caa1 (LGD 4) from B2
      (LGD 4)

   -- Backed Senior Unsecured Shelf Rating, downgraded to (P)Caa1
      from (P)B2

   -- Backed Subordinate Shelf Rating, downgraded to (P)Caa2 from
      (P)B3

   -- Rating outlook, remains Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

Weatherford's B3 CFR reflects the company's negative cash flow
generation during the oilfield service downturn as compared to its
oilfield services peers and high debt balances. "While Moody's
expects Weatherford will benefit from a modest recovery in activity
levels and cash flow into 2017, we believe the company's cash flow
generation will be moderate and leverage metrics will remain high."
Moody's said. Weatherford's B3 CFR is supported by: its scale and
strong market positions in several product lines; its geographic
diversification, with a substantial portion of its revenue coming
from markets outside the more volatile North American market; and
its numerous patented products and technologies, which give the
company a competitive edge in several markets. The rating also
considers the actions Weatherford has taken in response to the
downturn, including cost reduction efforts, raising equity,
managing its debt maturity profile, and focusing on a goal of free
cash flow generation and debt reduction.

Weatherford's SGL-3 rating reflects its adequate liquidity profile
through 2017, with the expectation of modest free cash flow,
adequate covenant compliance cushion, and a high reliance on both
committed and uncommitted credit facilities.

Weatherford has a bank credit facility that includes a $1.15
billion revolver maturing in July 2019 and $488 million secured
term loan maturing in July 2020. Weatherford also has a residual
revolver of $229 million, maturing in July 2017. The credit
facility has a 5% commitment reduction starting in July 2017, and
10% annually thereafter, but will not reduce below $1 billion. As
of September 30, 2016, Weatherford had $330 million in cash
drawings outstanding under its credit facility and $61 million in
letters of credit. The company is currently in compliance with its
financial covenants under its bank credit facility. "While covenant
cushion has tightened and there are upcoming covenant step-downs,
we expect adequate covenant cushion through 2017." Moody's said.

Moody's rates debt issued by Weatherford International Ltd.,
incorporated in Bermuda (Weatherford Bermuda) and Weatherford
International, LLC., incorporated in Delaware (Weatherford
Delaware). The unsecured notes of Weatherford Bermuda and
Weatherford Delaware are rated Caa1, one-notch below the B3 CFR,
reflecting the contractual and structural subordination of the
unsecured notes to Weatherford's credit facility.

The rating outlook remains negative, reflecting the risk that cash
flow generation could be challenged into 2017, resulting in
continued elevated financial leverage.

Weatherford's ratings could be downgraded should liquidity weaken
or if cash flow levels remain negative.

The ratings could be upgraded if Weatherford is able to generate
positive cash flow from operations that support a retained cash
flow/debt ratio above 5%.

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

Weatherford International Ltd. and Weatherford International, LLC
are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Weatherford International plc,
which is headquartered in Switzerland and is a diversified
international energy service and manufacturing company that
provides a variety of services and equipment to the oil and gas
industry.


WEST BELL: RLS Capital Objects to Cash Collateral Use
-----------------------------------------------------
RLS Capital, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona an objection to West Bell Medical L.L.C.'s use
of cash collateral and asks that the Debtor be compelled to account
for and turn-over the cash collateral.

RLS Capital contends that it holds a perfected security interest in
the income and/or rents that the Debtor is generating by leasing
out an approximately 6,667 sq. ft. medical office building located
at 4901 West Bell Road, Glendale, Arizona.  RLS Capital further
contends that the income and/or rents constitutes its cash
collateral.

RLS Capital tells the Court that it is certain that the Property is
generating cash collateral because, as recently as September 27,
2016, the Debtor turned-over $3,336 to RLS Capital, which the
Debtor represented to be rents paid by one or more of its tenants.
RLS Capital further tells the Court that the Property is currently
occupied by three or four different tenants.

RLS Capital demands that the Debtor provide it with written proof
that the Property is insured against hazards, and with the
insurance policy stating that:

     (a) RLS Capital is a named additional insured and/or
co-insured/loss payee;

     (b) the coverage limit is at least $890,000; and

     (c) the deductible is not more than $8,900.

RLS Capital also demands that the Debtor provide it with:

     (a) written proof of all the income and/or rents the Debtor
has collected postpetition from the Property, commencing October
24, 2016, and will subsequently collect throughout the duration of
the Chapter 11 case; and

     (b) written proof of what has happened with all the income
and/or rents the Debtor has collected post-petition.

RLS Capital says that as a condition to securing its consent to the
use of cash collateral, the Debtor must provide monthly:

     (1) Income statements reflecting:

          (a) the name of each occupant and/or tenant of the
Property;

          (b) the amount that is supposed to be paid by or for each
such occupant and/or tenant; and

          (c) the amount actually paid by or for each said occupant
and/or tenant, and if applicable, the amount for each occupant
and/or tenant that is delinquent.

     (2) Expense budgets, pre-approved by RLS Capital or the Court,
and reconciliations reflecting what it anticipates it will cost to
keep the Property up-and-running, and then, its actual cost.

RLS Capital wants every penny of its cash collateral in excess of
budgeted expenditures approved by RLS and/or the Court to be
physically delivered or mailed to RLS Capital, so that it has the
assurance of knowing that all the income and/or rents generated by
the Property will be applied against the indebtedness that the
Debtor owes RLS Capital.  RLS Capital also wants the Debtor to
evict non-paying occupants of the Property, or have the Chapter 11
case converted to a Chapter 7 case or be dismissed.

WESTERN AUTO: Authorized to Use Cash Collateral on Interim Basis
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Jim D. Pappas of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Idaho authorized Western Auto Sales, LLC, to use cash collateral
on an interim basis.

Secured Creditors Automotive Finance Corporation and NextGear
Capital, Inc., consented to the Debtor's use of cash collateral on
an interim basis.

The Debtor is indebted to NextGear Capital in the amount of
$535,594, pursuant to a Note.  The Note financed the purchase of
certain vehicles by the Debtor, known as the NextGear Secured
Vehicles.  The Note also financed the purchase of NextGear Sold Out
of Trust Vehicles, which consist of certain vehicles that the
Debtor disposed of and the proceeds of which were not given or paid
to NextGear Capital.  NextGear Capital was granted a security
interest in all the Debtor's assets and properties.

The Debtor owes Automotive Finance Corporation the amount of
$257,949, pursuant to a Note.   The AFC Note financed the purchase
of vehicles by the Debtor, known as the AFC Secured Vehicles.  The
AFC Note also financed the purchase of certain vehicles that the
Debtor had disposed of, and the proceeds of which were not given or
paid to Automotive Finance Corporation, also known as the AFC Sold
Out of Trust Vehicles.  Automotive Finance Corporation was granted
a second priority security interest in substantially all the
Debtor's assets, including inventory which was currently-owned or
later-acquired.  Automotive Finance Corporation was also granted a
purchase money security interest in all vehicles, parts, and
equipment financed by Automotive Finance Corporation.

The Debtor contended that Westlake Flooring Company, LLC, may
assert an interest in certain cash collateral of the Debtor based
on its prepetition loan agreement with the Debtor and its initial
UCC filing with the Idaho Secretary of State on June 20, 2016.
Westlake was provided notice of the Debtor's Motion and the
Debtor's intent to use cash collateral in which Westlake may assert
an interest.  Westlake did not file an objection to the Motion, and
did not appear at the preliminary hearing on the Motion to assert
its interest in cash collateral.

Judge Pappas acknowledged that the Debtor's only significant source
of income is through continued business operations consisting
primarily of the sale of the Debtor's motor vehicle inventory and
the collection of the accounts generated by those sales.  He
further acknowledged that in order to continue existing operations,
the Debtor requires the use of cash collateral in which the Secured
Creditors have an interest.

The Debtor was directed to tender the sum of $1,071 to Westlake
Flooring Company, by November 30, 2016.

The Debtor was authorized to sell NextGear Secured Vehicles, AFC
Secured Vehicles, and vehicles subject to Westlake Flooring
Company's security interest in the ordinary course of business.

The Debtor was further authorized to provide the Secured Creditors
with the following adequate protection, among others:

     (1) The Debtor may sell any Secured Vehicle for an amount
sufficient to pay the respective Secured Creditor the full amount
owing on that vehicle as of the date of sale as indicated in the
records of the Secured Creditor.  Absent written permission from
the Secured Creditor, the Debtor may not sell a Secured Vehicle for
less than the Payoff Amount, and the Debtor may not dispose of any
Secured Vehicle through trade.

     (2) Upon receipt of proceeds from the sale of any Secured
Vehicle, the Debtor will deposit all proceeds from the sale of each
Secured Vehicle into the respective Secured Creditor's Adequate
Protection Account;

     (3) Until such time as the Debtor becomes current on its
financial obligations to each Secured Creditor under their
respective Note, within 24 hours of the receipt of the proceeds
from the sale of any Secured Vehicle, the Debtor will remit to the
respective Secured Creditor the Payoff Amount and 50% of any amount
over and above the Payoff Amount.  The portion over and above the
Payoff Amount that is paid to each Secured Creditor will be applied
to the debt owing from the Debtor to the Secured Creditor on that
creditor's Sold Out of Trust Vehicles; the Debtor will be entitled
to use the remaining 50% of the amount over and above the Payoff
Amount for ordinary operating expenses;

     (4) To the extent of the Cash Collateral used by the Debtor,
each of the Secured Creditors is granted a replacement lien in all
property and assets of any kind and nature in which Debtor has an
interest and their proceeds, products, rents and profits, with the
same priority, validity and extent as the Secured Creditor’s pre-
petition liens.

The Debtor agreed to pay the Secured Creditors all proceeds in its
possession that are attributable to the sale or disposition of each
Secured Creditor's Sold Out of Trust Vehicles, within two business
days from the entry of the Interim Order.

A final hearing on the Debtor's Motion is scheduled on Nov. 30,
2016 at 9:00 a.m.

Competitive Strategy for Health Care Organizations: Techniques for
Strategic Action is an informative book that provides practical
guidance for senior health care managers and other health care
professionals on the organizational and competitive strategic
action needed to survive and to be successful in today's
increasingly competitive health care marketplace. An important
premise of the book is that the development and implementation of
good competitive strategy involves a profound understanding of
change. As the authors state at the outset: "What may need to be
done in today's environment may involve great departure from the
past, including major changes in the skills and attitudes of
staff, and great tact and patience in bringing about the necessary
strategic training."

Although understanding change is certainly important in most
fields, the authors demonstrate the particular importance of
change to the health care field in the first and second chapters.
In Chapter 1, the authors review the three eras of medical care
(individual medicine, organizational medicine, and network
medicine) and lay the groundwork for their model for competitive
strategy development. Chapter 2 describes the factors that must be
taken into account for successful strategic decision-making. These
factors include the analysis of the environmental trends and
competitive forces affecting the health care field, past, current,
and future; the analysis of the competitive position of the
organization; the setting of goals, objectives, and a strategy;
the analysis of competitive performance; and the readaptation of
the business, if necessary, through positioning activities,
redirection of strategy, and organizational change.

Chapters 3 through 7 discuss in detail the five positioning
activities that are part of the model and therefore critical to
the development and implementation of a successful strategy:
scanning; product market analysis; collaboration; restructuring;
and managing the physician. The chapter on managing the physician
(Chapter 7) is the only section in the book that appears dated
(the book was first published in 1984). In this day of physician-
owned hospitals and physician-backed joint ventures, it is
difficult to envision the physician in the passive role of "being
managed." However, even the changing role of physicians since the
book's first publication correlates with the authors' premise that
their model for competitive strategic planning is based exactly on
understanding and anticipating change, which is no better
illustrated than in health care where change is measured not in
years but in months. These middle chapters and the other chapters
use a mixture of didactic presentation, graphs and charts,
quotations from famous individuals, and anecdotes to render what
can frequently be dry information in an entertaining and readable
format.

The final chapter of the book presents a case example (using the
"South Clinic") as a summary of many of the issues and strategic
alternatives discussed in the previous chapters. The final chapter
also discusses the competitive issues specific to various types of
health care delivery organizations, including teaching hospitals,
community hospitals, group practices, independent practice
associations, hospital groups, super groups and alliances, nursing
homes, home health agencies, and for-profits. An interesting quote
on for-profits indicates how time and change are indeed important
factors in strategic planning in the health care field: "Behind
many of the competitive concerns.lies the specter of the for-
profits. Their competitive edge has lain until now in the
excellence of their management. But developments in the past half-
decade have shown that the voluntary sector can match the for-
profits in management excellence. Despite reservations that may
not always be untrue, the for-profit sector has demonstrated that
good management can pay off in health care. But will the voluntary
institutions end up making the same mistakes and having the same
accusations leveled at them as the for-profits have? It is
disturbing to talk to the head of a voluntary hospital group and
hear him describe physicians as his potential competitors."


                            *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

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

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to

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

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