AVATAR HOLDCO: S&P Lowers ICR to 'B-', Outlook Negative
-------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on Washington,
D.C.-based Avatar Holdco LLC (also known as EAB) to 'B-' from 'B'.
The outlook is negative.

S&P said, "At the same time, we lowered our issue-level rating to
'B-' from 'B' on the company's $610 million senior secured
first-lien facilities, which consists of a $70 million revolving
credit facility and a $540 million term loan. The recovery rating
remains '3', indicating our expectation of meaningful (50%-70%;
rounded estimate 55%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

"The downgrade reflects our expectation that the company will
generate less than $5 million in free operating cash flow (FOCF) in
fiscal 2019-- meaningfully below our previous expectation of around
$45 million--given longer sales cycles in their technology segment,
higher than expected standalone operating costs and investment
needs of the business. We now expect adjusted leverage to be about
13x at fiscal year-end 2019, about 3x higher than our previous
expectations.

"The negative outlook reflects the company's deterioration in
margins because of high investments needs of the business and poor
track record of realizing synergies, resulting in cash flow
deficits and very high debt leverage. It incorporates the risk that
weaker-than-expected operating performance combined with sustained
cash flow deficits will eventually impair the company's ability to
service its substantial debt load on a timely basis.

"We could downgrade the company if it is unable to improve revenues
or profit margins such that we forecast FOCF will remain negative
and fixed charge coverage will remain below 1x. We could also lower
the rating if the PIK accrual on the preferred equity more than
offsets leverage reduction, resulting in a steady increase in
adjusted leverage.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if management meaningfully
improves operating performance such that revenues grow in the
high-single-digit percentage area or EBITDA margins improve to the
low-30% range, resulting in a sharp increase in FOCF over our 12 to
24 month forecast period."





BAERG REAL PROPERTY: $5.8M Sale of 4 Apartment Complexes Approved
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert L. Jones of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Texas authorized Baerg Real Property Trust's sale of
four multifamily apartment complexes: (i) the tract of land more
commonly known as 1367 East I-30 Frontage Road, Garland, Texas
("Lake Bluff") located in Dallas County, Texas; (ii) the tract of
land more commonly known as 4501 Bobtown Road, Garland, Texas
("Lakeview") located in Dallas County, Texas; (iii) the tract of
land more commonly known as 1313 East Shady Grove Road, Irving,
Texas ("The Woods") located in Dallas County, Texas; and (iv) the
tract of land more commonly known as 731 South Irving Heights
Boulevard, Irving, Texas ("Oakway") located in Dallas County,
Texas; in each case together with all improvements thereon, if any,
and all rights, privileges, tenements, hereditaments,
rights-of-way, appendages and appurtenances, in anyway appertaining
thereto and all right, title, and interest of Seller in and to any
streets, ways, alleys, strips or gores of land adjoining the
described property or any part thereof, to Garland Solution, LLC
and/or its assigns for the total price of $5,825,000 cash.

The sale will close by Oct. 14, 2018, unless extended as provided
in the Order.  The Closing Deadline may be extended until Nov. 13,
2018 upon the Buyer's payment to the Debtor of $100,000.

The sale will be free and clear of any and all liens, claims and
encumbrances, and that all liens, claims, encumbrances, and other
interests in the Properties will attach to the proceeds of the
sale.  The interests of the Buyer represented by the Garland Lis
Pendens will not attach to the proceeds of the sale of the
Properties, but will be withdrawn by the Buyer contemporaneously
with the closing.

From the proceeds of the sale the Debtor (and/or Republic Title of
Texas, Inc., 2626 Howell Street, 10th Floor, Dallas, Texas, 75204,
its agents, attorneys, and employees acting as escrow agent/officer
to close the subject sale) is/are authorized to:

     (a) pay usual and customary closing costs, including, but not
limited to, the premium for the owner policy(ies) of title
insurance for the insured amount equal to the
Purchase Price, the Debtor’s half of the escrow fee, etc.;

     (b) to the extent the same are valid and subsisting and
encumber all or a portion of Lake Bluff, Lakeview, Oakway, and The
Woods, pay the holder of any of the Property Tax Liens an amount
sufficient to secure the release of said liens for the tax years
prior to 2018, along with providing the Buyer a credit against the
Purchase Price for a pro rata share of the 2018 ad valorem taxes up
through  the date of the closing, however, if the 2018 ad valorem
taxes are due and owing at the time of the closing, same will be
paid from the proceeds of the sale and the Debtor will receive a
credit from the Buyer for a pro rata share of the 2018 ad valorem
taxes from the date of closing through the end of 2018;

     (c) in exchange for a recordable release(s) of said lien(s),
and without other or further order of the Court, pay the allowed
claims of Fannie Mae as set forth in Fannie Mae's proof of claim,
filed Jan. 25, 2017, and assigned Claim No. 9, plus all amounts
allowed to Fannie Mae under Section 506(c) to the extent same have
been approved by the Court; and

     (d) pay to the Debtor the balance of the sales proceeds, which
will be maintained in a separately segregated account, for
distribution in accordance with further orders of the Court.

The sale of the Properties will be, and is, free and clear of any
liens, claims or encumbrances, including the Lake Bluff Millsworth
Liens and the Lakeview Millsworth Liens, with the validity, amount
and priority of such liens, claim or encumbrance to be determined
by the Court at a later date and to attach to the proceeds of the
sale of the Properties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the year of closing (i.e.
2018) ad valorem tax lien will be expressly retained on the
Properties until the payment by the Buyer of the year of closing ad
valorem taxes, plus any penalties or interest which may ultimately
accrue thereon, in the ordinary course of business.

The Debtor will withdraw its Motion to Reconsider Pursuant to Fed.
R. Civ. P. 59(E) and Fed R. Bank. P. 9023 filed in Adversary Proc.
No. 16-03160-bjh prior to closing and waives its right to appeal
the Judgment entered against it in the Adversary Proceeding.

The Buyer will assume all tenant leases related to the Properties.
The Debtor will turn over any rental deposits existing as of the
date of the Order to the Buyer at the closing, and will have no
further responsibility under the Leases as of the closing date.

The stay provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) will not apply to
the order and the closing may occur without a 14-day waiting
period.

BIG BEAR BOWLING: $835K Sale of Big Bear Lake Property Denied
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Scott C. Clarkson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California denied without prejudice Big Bear
Bowling Barn, Inc.'s sale of the improved real property at 40679
Big Bear Blvd., Big Bear Lake, California to Draco Builders, LLC
for $835,000, subject to overbid.

The Court denied the proposed sale because a Notice of Sale of
Estate Property was not filed or published on the Court's website
as required by LBR 6004-1(f).  The Court is unable to approve the
sale of the property absent full payment to the secured creditors
or the secured creditors' consent.  

In addition, full payment is not provided and the secured creditors
have not consented.  Finally, there is insufficient evidence for
the Court to ascertain whether the sale price is fair and
reasonable.

The hearing scheduled for Sept. 18, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. is vacated.

                  About Big Bear Bowling Barn

Big Bear Bowling Barn, Inc., owns the Bowling Barn located at 40625
Big Bear Boulevard, Big Bear Lake, California. Bowling Barn is a

Big Bear Bowling Barn sought protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 18-12715) on April 2,
2018.  In the petition signed by William Ross, president, the
Debtor disclosed $1.51 million in assets and $2.18 million in
liabilities.  Judge Scott C. Clarkson presides over the case.

The Debtor tapped Russell C. Barnes as broker to market and sell
the Debtor's property located at 40679 Big Bear Blvd., Big Bear
Lake, California 92315.

prepetition secured loans granted to the Debtors in February
through September 2018.  The Prepetition Indebtedness is secured by
a blanket lien on substantially all of the Operating Entities'
assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Prepetition
Secured Loan documents.

In October 2016, Bank United loaned $10 million to Seasons
Corporate, LLC and obtained a security interest in all of
Corporate's assets.  The Operating Entities guaranteed the Bank
United Loan on an unsecured basis.  Prior to the Petition Date,
Bank United declared a default under the Bank United Loan and
set-off the liability against $600,000 maintained in Central
Avenue's accounts.  As of the Petition Date, approximately $8.8
million was owed to Bank United on account of the Bank United
Loan.

The Debtors have requested that SKNY provide a senior priority,
perfected secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed $5.7 million at any time outstanding.  SKNY has agreed to
provide the Debtors with DIP financing to administer their Chapter
11 Cases on the terms and conditions set forth in that certain loan
and security agreement dated as of Sept. 16, 2018, subject to Court
approval.

The Debtors' principal business is the ownership and operation of
nine retail kosher food stores under the name of "Seasons" in New
York, New Jersey, Ohio and Maryland.  The consummation of
value-maximizing, job-preserving, going-concern sales of their
stores is the cornerstone of these Chapter 11 Cases.

To that end, the Debtors have identified the Purchaser which is
willing to expeditiously consummate the transaction set forth in
the Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of Assets free and
clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, to the Purchaser for a
purchase price of approximately $12 million.

The Sale Transaction is subject to higher and better offers
pursuant to the Bidding Procedures.  The Debtors believe that the
timely consummation of the Sale Transaction is in the best
interests of the estates and their creditors.  

The Purchase Agreement sets forth the terms of the sale of certain
of the Debtors' assets and business and related transactions,
subject to higher and better offers, free and clear of liens,
claims, interests and encumbrances.  

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the
Debtors agreed to sell, transfer and assign to the Purchaser all of
their right, title and interest in and to the Transferred
Contracts, including leases, and certain inventory, equipment,
furnishings, fixtures, customer data, and goodwill related to
these:

     a. Seasons Corporate, LLC: Inwood Store, Leased, 5 Doughty
Boulevard, Inwood, NY 11096

     b. Blue Gold Equities, LLC: Queens Store, Leased, 68-18 Main
Street, Flushing, NY 11367

     c. Central Avenue Market, LLC: Lawrence Store, Leased 330
Central Ave., Lawrence, NY 11559

     d. Seasons Express Inwood, LLC: Inwood Store, Leased, 50
Doughty Boulevard, Lawrence, NY 11559

     e. Amsterdam Avenue, Market LLC: New York Store, Leased 661
Amsterdam Ave., New York, NY 10025

     f. Wilmot Road Market, LLC: Scarsdale Store, Leased 1136 &
1104 Wilmot Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583

     g. Seasons Clifton, LLC: Clifton Store, Leased, 761 Allwood
Road, Clifton, NJ 07012

     h. Seasons Lakewood, LLC: Lakewood Store, Leased, 711
Cedarbridge Avenue, Lakewood, NJ 08701

     i. Seasons Maryland, LLC: Maryland Store, Leased, 1630
Reistertown Road, Pikesville, MD 21208

     j. Seasons Cleveland, LLC: Cleveland Store, Leased ,1930
Warrensville Center Rd., South Euclid, OH 44121

     k. Lawrence Supermarket, LLC: Tenant of Lawrence Store,
Leased, 330 Central Ave. Lawrence, NY 11559

     l. Upper West Side Supermarket, LLC: Tenant of New York Store,
Leased, 661 Amsterdam Ave., New York, NY 1002

In exchange, the Purchaser has agreed to pay to the Debtors a
purchase price of approximately $12 million, subject to certain
adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  The Purchaser
is responsible for paying any cure costs related to the assumption
and assignment of the Leases and such Cure Costs are included in
the Purchase Price.

The Purchase Agreement requires a closing to occur no later than
Dec. 31, 2018 and entitles the Purchaser to certain Bidding
Protections.  In addition, it may make an offer of employment to
the Debtors' active employees at the Stores on such terms and
conditions as the Purchaser determines in its sole discretion.  It
intends to offer employment to Mayer Gold, who is an insider of the
Debtors.  

As a result, the Sale Transaction provides for the continuation of
business operations, preservation of attendant jobs to the extent
employees of the Debtors become employees of the Purchaser, most of
which are expected to be offered employment by the Purchaser, and
maximization of value for the benefit of the Debtors, their
creditors and the estates.

The Purchase Agreement includes provisions requiring entry of the
Bidding Procedures Order on Oct. 9, 2018, and entry of the Sale
Order on Dec. 31, 2018.  It allows the Purchaser to terminate the
Purchase Agreement if either of these benchmarks are not met.
Other than payment of the Bidding Protections, if any, at the
Closing, the Sellers will be required to use the proceeds of the
Purchase Price to satisfy in full the Sellers' obligations under
the DIP Financing Facility.

Consistent with the Purchase Agreement, the Debtors are proposing
the Bidding Procedures, which are designed to maximize the value of
the Acquired Assets for their estates, creditors and other
interested parties.

The salient terms of the Bidding Procedures are:

     a. Bid Deadline: 5:00 p.m. (ET) on (TBD), 2018

     b. Initial Bid: $12.6 million

     c. Deposit: 10% of the initial purchase price

     d. Auction: The auction to be held at the Offices of Zeichner
Ellman & Krause LLP, 1211 Avenue of the Americas, 40”‘ Floor,
New York, New York 10036 commencing on (TBD), 2018, at (TBD)(EST).

     e. Bid Increments: $100,000

     f. Breakup Fee: 3% of the Purchase Price

     g. Expense Reimbursement: $150,000

In connection with the Sale Transaction, the Debtors ask authority
to (a) assume and assign the Transferred Contracts, and (b) execute
and deliver to the Purchaser (or the Successful Bidder, as the case
may be) such documents or other instruments as may be necessary to
assign and transfer the Transferred Contracts as of the date of the
Closing on the Purchase Agreement (and expressly subject to
Closing).

To effectuate the assumption/assignment process, the Debtors
propose to serve a notice on the non-debtor parties to the
Transferred Contracts of the potential assumption and assignment of
the Transferred Contracts no later than 15 days prior to the
Objection Deadline.

The Debtors, no later than three business day after entry of the
Bidding Procedures Order, will serve a copy of the Bidding
Procedures Order and all exhibits attached thereto upon all the
Bidding Procedures Parties.  In addition, no later than three
business days after entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, the
Debtors will cause the form of auction notice upon the Bidding
Procedures Parties, and (ii) served upon all Auction Notice
Parties.

The Debtors ask authorization to sell the Acquired Assets to the
Purchaser free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances,
except as expressly permitted by the Purchase Agreement.

The Debtors ask that the Court waives the 14-day stay periods under
Bankruptcy Rules 6004(g) and 6006(d), or in the alternative, if an
objection to the sale or to the assignment of a contract or lease
is filed, reduce the stay period to the minimum amount of time
needed by the objecting party to file its appeal to allow the sale
to close as provided under the Purchase Agreement.

For all of these reasons and those set forth, the Debtors
respectfully ask approval of the Motion and authority to consummate
the Sale Transaction or a better transaction.

CAMBER ENERGY: Closes Sale of Substantial Portion of Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------
Camber Energy, Inc. closed on Sept. 26, 2018, its previously
announced transaction with N&B Energy, LLC, in connection with the
disposition of a substantial portion of its assets in exchange for
N&B's assumption of all of Camber's senior debt with International
Bank of Commerce.  N&B is affiliated with Richard N. Azar, II,
Camber's former chief executive officer and former director who
resigned as a member of the Board on June 21, 2018, and Donnie B.
Seay, a former director who resigned as a member of the Board on
July 10, 2018.

Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, the Company has retained
its assets in Glasscock County and Hutchinson Counties, Texas and
has also been assigned a 12.5% production payment (subject to a
maximum of $2,500,000) and a 3% overriding royalty interest in its
Okfuskee County, Oklahoma asset which were otherwise assigned to
N&B as part of the transaction.  In addition, Camber has been
assigned an overriding royalty interest on certain undeveloped
leasehold interests.

Finally, the Company has, most importantly, extinguished all of its
existing bank debt, which totaled approximately $36,900,000,
significantly enhancing its balance sheet and cash flow by
eliminating the current required monthly debt service payments of
$425,000 per month.

Interim CEO of Camber, Louis G. Schott, noted, "This transaction is
a major milestone for the Company.  We have significantly improved
the Company's balance sheet and have taken major steps towards
regaining compliance with the continued listing standards of the
NYSE American."

Mr. Schott continued, "With this momentum, we believe the Company
is in a position for growth through acquisition and development
opportunities."

capital deficit as of March 31, 2018.  These factors raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.



CANWEL BUILDING: DBRS Assigns B(High) Issuer Rating, Trend Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DBRS Limited assigned an Issuer Rating of B (high) with a Stable
trend to CanWel Building Materials Group Ltd. (CanWel or the
Company). Concurrently, DBRS assigned a provisional rating to the
Company's proposed Senior Unsecured Notes of B (high), with a
recovery rating of RR4 (the Proposed Notes). The ratings are
supported by CanWel's well-established market positions in the
building materials and related products industry as well as
diversified customer and supplier bases, the industry's relatively
high barriers to entry and the value of its timberland holdings.
The ratings also reflect the significant cyclicality and
seasonality associated with the building materials industry, the
intense competition, risks associated with growth through
acquisitions, regulatory and environmental risks and the Company's
high dividend payout.

CanWel is proposing to issue $60 million of 6.375% senior unsecured
notes (the Proposed Notes; underwriter's option to increase the
amount to $69 million) expected to mature in October 2023. The
proceeds of the issuance are to be used to repay amounts drawn on
the Company's $300 million revolving loan facility; as such, credit
metrics immediately after the new issuance are not expected to
change.

The provisional rating on the Proposed Notes is based on DBRS's
review of a draft indicative term sheet, dated September 6, 2018; a
draft description of notes dated September 12, 2018; and
information provided by CanWel to DBRS as of September 14, 2018.
The assignment of a final rating is subject to receipt by DBRS of
all information and final documentation that is consistent with
that which DBRS has already reviewed and that DBRS deems necessary
to finalize the rating.

CanWel's earnings profile has benefited from several acquisitions
in recent years, which have meaningfully improved the Company's
geographic and product diversification, size and scale, as well as
margin profile. Revenues have increased by approximately 75% since
2013; rising toward $1.3 billion during the last 12 months (LTM)
ended Q2 2018 versus $0.7 billion in 2013. The increase in revenues
has primarily been driven by several acquisitions and tailwinds in
the U.S. and Canadian housing markets in recent years. EBITDA
margins have improved meaningfully since 2013, increasing to 6.0%
for the LTM ended Q2 2018 from 3.1% in 2013, driven by improved
gross margins and the Company's efforts to control selling, general
and administrative (SG&A) expenses. Gross margins improved notably
to 14.9% for the LTM ended Q2 2018 from 11.1% in 2013, largely
because of an organic and acquisition-driven shift of CanWel's
sales mix to higher-margin segments and products. SG&A as a
percentage of sales increased modestly to 8.8% for the LTM ended Q2
2018 from 8.1% in 2013 largely because of the October 2017
acquisition of Hawaii-based Honsador Building Products (Honsador),
partially offset by CanWel's continuous focus on operational
efficiency, synergies and prudent cost management. As such, EBITDA
increased to $76 million for the LTM ended Q2 2018 from $22 million
in 2013. DBRS notes that the eruption of the Kīlauea volcano in
Hawaii in early May 2018 has not meaningfully affected CanWel's
operations to date.

DBRS views CanWel's financial profile as acceptable for the current
ratings based on the Company's reasonable leverage levels, despite
its high dividend payout and free cash flow deficit, which, along
with numerous acquisitions, has required external funding in recent
years. Cash flow from operations increased meaningfully in line
with earnings growth, rising to $46 million during the LTM ended Q2
2018 from $15 million in 2013. Capital expenditures (capex) have
increased notably since 2013, rising to $14 million for the LTM
ended Q2 2018 versus $1 million in 2013. Higher capex has largely
been attributable to the implementation of CanWel's new enterprise
resource planning system; equipment upgrades at Jemi Fibre Corp.
following its acquisition in 2016; and, more recently, costs
related to the acquisition of Superior Forest Products, Inc.'s
(Superior Forest Products) incomplete lumber pressure treating
plant in 2018. Cash outlay for dividends increased significantly to
$41 million for the LTM ended Q2 2018 from approximately $12
million in 2013 as a result of a number of equity issuances in
recent years, despite CanWel's per-share dividend remaining flat.
CanWel's per-share dividend remained high following the Company's
conversion to a corporation from an income trust in 2010, as the
Company did not meaningfully recalibrate its dividend with the
change in legal form. Since 2013, the Company has used a
combination of equity issuances, convertible debentures and
incremental debt to finance a number of acquisitions, mandatory
debt repayments and any free cash flow deficits. As such, total
debt (excluding operating leases) increased significantly to
approximately $367 million as at the end of Q2 2018 from $85
million in 2013 (including approximately $43 million of convertible
debentures, which were repaid in 2016). Nevertheless, combined with
the meaningful growth in earnings, credit metrics improved
significantly (i.e., lease-adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR of 5.07 times
(x) and lease-adjusted EBITDA coverage of 6.28x for the LTM ended
Q2 2018 versus 5.82x and 3.56x, respectively, as at the end of
2013). DBRS notes that CanWel's debt balance is seasonally high at
the end of the second quarter.

CanWel's earnings profile is expected to remain relatively stable
on an organic basis over the near to medium term. CanWel's revenues
should continue to grow to the $1.3 billion level in the near term,
primarily driven by the acquisition of Honsador (approximately $200
million of incremental annual revenue), which closed subsequent to
Q3 2017. Over the medium term, DBRS expects the Company's revenues
to benefit from ongoing tailwinds from the U.S. housing market,
growing in the low single digits per year toward $1.4 billion.
EBITDA margins should improve modestly over the near to medium
term, as the Company continues to focus on growing its
higher-margin segments and products, improving efficiencies,
gaining operating leverage and achieving synergies. As such, DBRS
expects CanWel's EBITDA to grow to above the $80 million level over
the near to medium term.

DBRS believes CanWel's financial profile should remain acceptable
for the rating category over the near to medium term, absent any
debt-financed acquisitions that would result in credit metrics
deteriorating to a level no longer acceptable for the current B
(high) rating. Cash flow from operations should continue to track
operating income, increasing to the $50 million level on an organic
basis. Capex is expected to be relatively high for full-year 2018
in the $10 million to $15 million range due to costs associated
with the acquisition of Superior Forest Products' incomplete lumber
pressure treating plant. After 2018, DBRS expects capex to remain
relatively flat at approximately $5 million per year, primarily
consisting of maintenance capex. DBRS expects cash outlay for
dividends to increase in 2018 to approximately $45 million because
of the equity issuances in 2017. DBRS does not expect CanWel to
meaningfully increase its per-share dividend. However, DBRS notes
that total cash outlay for dividends could increase if CanWel
issues equity, increasing the number of shares outstanding as part
of the financing of a meaningful acquisition. As such, DBRS expects
the Company's free cash flow (after dividends but before changes in
working capital) to remain in a modest deficit position over the
near to medium term. DBRS expects CanWel to use a combination of
debt and equity to invest in growth through acquisitions and
finance any free cash flow deficits. Should CanWel be challenged to
maintain credit metrics in a range considered acceptable for the
current B (high) rating (i.e., lease-adjusted debt-to-EBITDAR below
6.0x) as a result of weaker-than-expected operating performance
and/or more-aggressive-than-expected financial management
(debt-financed acquisitions or shareholder returns), a negative
rating action could result.

CARTHAGE SPECIALTY: $9M Bid to Open Oct. 18 Auction of All Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Margaret Cangilos-Ruiz of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of New York authorized the bidding procedures of
Carthage Specialty Paperboard, Inc. and its debtor-affiliates in
connection with the sale of substantially all assets to Long Falls
Paperboard, LLC for approximately $9 million, subject to
adjustments and credits, assumption of liabilities, subject to
overbid.

The Break-Up Fee set forth in the Motion, and the carveout and
subordination of all liens to the payment thereof if payable in
accordance with the Bidding Procedures, is approved in the amount
of $270,000.  No separate expense reimbursement will be earned or
payable to the Stalking Horse Purchaser.  The Buyer Advances are
approved, subject to the consent in each instance of the Debtors
and KeyBank.

In the event the Stalking Horse Purchaser makes any Buyer Advances
and is not the Successful Bidder at the Auction, the Break-Up Fee
payable to the Stalking Horse Purchaser will be increased by the
value of all Buyer Advances made by the Stalking Horse Purchaser
prior to the Auction.  If no other bids are received for the Assets
that are higher or otherwise better than the transaction set forth
in the Stalking Horse APA, no Break-Up Fee will be payable.

As further described in the Bidding Procedures, the Bid Deadline is
Oct. 12, 2018 at 12:00 noon (ET).  The Debtors may sell the Assets
by conducting an Auction in accordance with the Bidding Procedures.
If any Qualified Bids (other than the Stalking Horse APA) are
received by the Debtors in accordance with the Bidding Procedures,
the Auction will take place at 10:00 a.m. (ET) on Oct. 18, 2018 at
the offices of Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC, One Lincoln Center,
Syracuse, New York.

If, however, no such Qualified Bids are received by the Bid
Deadline, then the Auction will not be held, the Stalking Horse APA
will be the Successful Bid and the Stalking Horse Purchaser will be
the Successful Bidder.

A qualified bidder must provide a cash consideration for the Assets
that will exceed the Purchase Price (as defined in the Stalking
Horse APA), by at least $320,000, which amount is the sum of the
$270,000 Break-Up Fee and the minimum bid increment of $50,000.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bidder who submits a bid which
includes a cash component and which is approved by KeyBank, in
consultation with the Debtors, will not need to necessarily exceed
the Initial Minimum Overbid, subject to eventual approval of the
Bankruptcy Court if the Stalking Horse Purchaser is not the
Successful Bidder.  The required initial deposit is 8.5% of the
proposed purchase price.

The Sale Hearing will be held on Oct. 19, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. (ET).

On Sept. 27, 2018, by 5:00 p.m., the Debtors will cause the Notice
of Auction and Sale Hearing upon all notice parties.  On Sept. 27,
2018, by 5:00 p.m., the Debtors will: (a) serve the Notice of
Auction and Sale Hearing on all known creditors of the Debtors and
all other parties in interest.  On Sept. 27, 2018, by 5:00 p.m.,
they'll serve the Notice of Assumption and Assignment on all
non-debtor parties to the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
The Cure/Assignment Objection Deadline is at 4:00 p.m. (ET) on
Oct. 8, 2018.

The Sale Objection Deadline is Oct. 12, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. (ET).

The stays provided for in Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d) are
waived and the Bidding Procedures Order will be effective
immediately upon its entry.

CHESAPEAKE ENERGY: S&P Rates $1.25BB Senior Unsecured Notes 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B-' issue-level rating and '5'
recovery rating to Oklahoma City–based Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s
proposed $1.25 billion of combined principal senior unsecured notes
due in 2024 and 2026. S&P said, "The '5' recovery rating indicates
our expectation of modest (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%) recovery
in the event of a payment default. Our issue-level rating on the
company's senior unsecured debt remains on CreditWatch, where we
placed it with positive implications on July 27, 2018." The company
intends to use proceeds to repay borrowings under its secured term
loan due in 2021.  

The CreditWatch placement followed Chesapeake's announcement that
it was planning to sell its Utica Basin assets to Encino
Acquisition Partners for $2 billion and use the proceeds to repay
debt. Depending on the amount and type of debt the company repays,
S&P could raise its issue-level rating on its senior unsecured debt
by one notch to 'B'.

The asset sale will provide Chesapeake with significant cash for
debt repayment, improve its profitability, and lower its interest
expense. S&P expects the company's financial measures to improve
following the close of the transaction but remain consistent with
our expectations for the rating, including a ratio of funds from
operations (FFO) to debt between 12% and 20%.

COMMUNITY HEALTH: Global Settlement Resolves US DOJ Investigation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Community Health Systems, Inc., has reached a global resolution and
settlement agreements ending the U.S. Department of Justice
investigation into conduct by Health Management Associates, Inc.
and its affiliated entities reflected in qui tam lawsuits that were
initiated and pending, and known to the Company, before HMA was
acquired by merger in January 2014.

The settlement concludes the government's investigations into
whether HMA and its affiliated hospitals billed Medicare, Medicaid
and TRICARE for certain inpatient admissions following emergency
room visits between January 2008 and December 2012 that should have
been billed as outpatient or observation cases.  The settlement
also resolves allegations of Stark and Anti-Kickback Act violations
at certain HMA affiliated hospitals.

In reaching the settlement, the government noted that all conduct
reviewed in its investigation pre-dated the HMA acquisition, and
that following the acquisition, Community Health Systems engaged in
remedial measures, including removing the HMA Board of Directors
and senior executives and integrating the HMA affiliated hospitals
into Community Health System’s existing compliance program.

The settlement includes a Non-Prosecution Agreement with HMA in
which the government agreed not to bring criminal charges against
HMA, as long as HMA and the Company abide by the provisions of the
global settlement, and also includes a guilty plea to one count of
conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud by Carlisle HMA, LLC, the HMA
affiliated entity that formerly operated Carlisle Regional Medical
Center.

The global settlement includes a total payment of $262 million,
which is expected to be paid in October 2018.  As part of the
accounting for the HMA acquisition by merger, the Company
established a liability related to the legal claims underlying the
contingent value right that was issued to HMA shareholders as part
of the merger consideration.  This liability represented the
Company's best estimate of fair value of the potential future
payments associated with the legal matters assumed in the HMA
merger.  This estimate has accordingly been updated over time as
additional facts and circumstances have become known.  Based on the
settlement terms and calculation of any payment as defined in the
CVR agreement, the Company anticipates that no distribution will be
owed to CVR holders.

Under the terms of the global settlement, the Company's existing
corporate integrity agreement (CIA) has been amended and extended.
The extension begins immediately and effectively adds two years to
the existing CIA, with the amended CIA now running through 2021.

Commenting on the resolution of the government's investigation into
HMA, Wayne Smith, chairman and chief executive officer of Community
Health Systems, Inc., said, "Since acquiring HMA in 2014, it has
been our goal to resolve the government's investigation into all of
these allegations which occurred prior to the acquisition and which
were already under investigation at the time of the transaction.
We are pleased to have reached the settlement agreements so we can
move forward now without the burden or distraction of ongoing
litigation.  As an organization, we are committed to doing our very
best to always comply with the law in what is a very complex
regulatory environment and to operate our business with integrity,
ethical practices and high standards of conduct."

Additional background information

   * In January 2014, Health Management Associates, Inc. was
     acquired by merger and became a wholly owned indirect
     subsidiary of the Company.

   * HMA was acquired following a volatile period in HMA's
     history.  At the time of the acquisition, HMA was facing
     multiple qui tam lawsuits and was the subject of criminal and

     civil investigations.

   * All of the allegations against HMA and its affiliates
     preceded the January 2014 acquisition.

   * Community Health Systems was aware of the HMA investigations
     before closing the transaction.

   * Following the acquisition of HMA, Community Health Systems
     worked cooperatively with the government in its
     investigation.

   * The Company also took immediate steps to remove HMA's Board
     of Directors and senior executives and to integrate HMA
     affiliated hospitals into the Community Health Systems
     compliance program.  The compliance program was voluntarily
     established more than 20 years ago and the Company has
     continuously strengthened the program.

Regarding Carlisle HMA

  * Carlisle HMA is the entity that previously owned and operated
    Carlisle Regional Medical Center during the hospital's
    affiliation with HMA.  All of the allegations against Carlisle

    HMA occurred prior to the Company's acquisition of HMA in
    January 2014.  In 2017, Carlisle Regional Medical Center was
    divested to another healthcare organization which is not
    involved with, or party to, the settlement agreement.

As reported by the TCR on July 2, 2018, S&P Global Ratings raised
its corporate credit rating on Franklin, Tenn.-based hospital
operator Community Health Systems Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'SD'
(selective default).  The outlook is negative.  "The upgrade of
Community to 'CCC+' reflects the company's longer-dated debt
maturity schedule, and our view that its efforts to rationalize its
hospital portfolio as well as improve financial performance and
cash flow should strengthen credit measures over the next 12 to 18
months."

In May 2018, Fitch Ratings downgraded Community Health Systems'
(CHS) Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'C' from 'CCC' following the
company's announcement of an offer to exchange three series of
senior unsecured notes due 2019, 2020 and 2022.

CRT RECOVERY: Unsecureds to Recoup 100% Paid Quarterly Over 5 Years
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CRT Recovery, Inc., f/k/a Creeper Recovery & Towing, Inc., filed a
disclosure statement in support of its plan of reorganization dated
Sept. 17, 2018.

The Debtor is a Florida for-profit corporation owned and managed by
Diana Crawford. The Debtor operates a towing business, with an
office at 4302 Hollywood Boulevard, #363, Hollywood Florida.

The Debtor's goal is to reduce its monthly expenses to generate
sufficient net income from its revenues to have funds remaining for
a distribution to general unsecured claims after having paid
secured claims, administrative claims, and priority claims. Debtor
believes that the Plan provides the best and most viable solution
to exit from bankruptcy.

The Debtor scheduled one unsecured claim for Progressive Direct
Auto in the amount of $1,392. The government claimants have until
Oct. 29, 2018 to file a proof of claim. With that said, the Debtor

claim, to be paid quarterly over five years.

DIFFUSION PHARMACEUTICALS: Appoints New Chief Financial Officer
---------------------------------------------------------------
Diffusion Pharmaceuticals Inc. appointed William Hornung, 50, as
the Company's chief financial officer on Sept. 21, 2018.  Mr.
Hornung was also designated as the Company's principal financial
officer and principal accounting officer effective as of that date.


Prior to his appointment as chief financial officer, Mr. Hornung
served as the Company's chief business officer from August 2017 to
September 2018.  From December 2015 until July 2017, Mr. Hornung
served as an independent consultant for a number of companies
principally in the pharmaceutical industry.  Prior to that, he
served as chief financial officer of ContraVir Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. from June 2014 to November 2015.  From April 2012 to March
2014, Mr. Hornung served as the vice president of finance for PTC
Therapeutic, a public biotechnology company.  From February 2009
until March 2012, Mr. Hornung served as controller of PTC
Therapeutics.  Mr. Hornung received his Bachelor of Science degree
from The William Paterson State University of NJ in 1992.

Effective Sept. 21, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and
restated employment agreement with Mr. Hornung.  The Employment
Agreement has an indefinite term.  Under the Employment Agreement,
Mr. Hornung will receive an initial annual base salary of $298,100
and has a target bonus opportunity equal to 35% of his base salary.
Mr. Hornung's annual salary is subject to increase at the
discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Board
may, in its discretion, pay a portion of Mr. Hornung's annual
salary and annual bonus in the form of equity or equity-based
compensation, provided that commencing with the year following the
year in which a Change of Control occurs, Mr. Hornung's entire base
salary and annual bonus will be paid in cash.  For 2018, the cash
portion of Mr. Hornung's base salary is $216,666.

In the event that Mr. Hornung's employment is terminated by the
Company other than for Cause, death or Disability or upon his
resignation for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the
Employment Agreement), Mr. Hornung will be entitled to any unpaid
bonus earned in the year prior to the termination, a pro-rata
portion of the bonus earned during the year of termination,
continuation of base salary for 9 months, plus 12 months of COBRA
premium reimbursement, provided that if such termination occurs
within 60 days before or within 24 months following a Change of
Control, then Mr. Hornung will be entitled to receive the same
severance benefits as provided above except he will receive (a) a
payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of his base salary and the
higher of his target annual bonus opportunity and the bonus payment
he received for the year immediately preceding the year in which
the termination occurred instead of 9 months of base salary
continuation and (b) 18 times the monthly COBRA premium for Mr.
Hornung and his eligible dependents instead of 12 months of COBRA
reimbursements (the payments in clauses (a) and (b) are paid in a
lump sum in some cases and in installments over 12 months in other
cases).  In addition, if Mr. Hornung's employment is terminated by
the Company without Cause or by Mr. Hornung for Good Reason, in
either case, upon or within 24 months following a Change of
Control, then Mr. Hornung will be entitled to full vesting of all
equity awards received by Mr. Hornung from the Company (with any
equity awards that are subject to the satisfaction of performance
goals deemed earned at not less than target performance).

In the event that Mr. Hornung's employment is terminated due to his
death or Disability, Mr. Hornung (or his estate) will be entitled
to any unpaid bonus earned in the year prior to the termination, a
pro-rata portion of the bonus earned during the year of
termination, 12 months of COBRA premium reimbursement and
accelerated vesting of (a) all equity awards received in payment of
base salary or an annual bonus and (b) with respect to any other
equity award, the greater of the portion of the unvested equity
award that would have become vested within 12 months after the
termination date had no termination occurred and the portion of the
unvested equity award that is subject to accelerated vesting (if
any) upon such termination under the applicable equity plan or
award agreement (with performance goals deemed earned at not less
than target performance, and with any equity award that is in the
form of a stock option or stock appreciation right to remain
outstanding and exercisable for 12 months following the termination
date or, if longer, such period as provided under the applicable
equity plan or award agreement (but in no event beyond the
expiration date of the applicable option or stock appreciation
right)).

All severance is subject to the execution and non-revocation of a
release of claims by Mr. Hornung or his estate, as applicable.

Mr. Hornung is also subject to certain restrictive covenants,
including a non-competition, customer non-solicitation and employee
and independent contractor non-solicitation (each applicable during
employment and for 18 months thereafter), as well as
confidentiality and non-disparagement restrictions (each applicable
during employment and at all times thereafter).

             Principal Financial Officer Departure

On Sept. 21, 2018, the Company ended its employment relationship
with Ben L. Shealy, the Company's former senior vice president,
finance, principal financial officer and principal accounting
officer.  Mr. Shealy is entitled to certain severance benefits as
described in his employment agreement with the Company, dated Oct.
12, 2016, subject to his execution and non-revocation of claims.
In connection with the foregoing, effective Sept. 26, 2018, the
Company and Mr. Shealy entered into a separation letter
memorializing such severance benefits and providing for certain
modifications to the vesting and termination provisions of Mr.
Shealy's existing equity awards.

FAIRBANKS COMPANY: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee
-----------------------------------------------------------
No official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the Chapter 11 case of The Fairbanks Company as of Sept. 24,
according to a court docket.

                    About The Fairbanks Company

Incorporated in 1891, The Fairbanks Company --

FC GLOBAL: Cancels Stock Grant, Purchase Deal to Comply with Nasdaq
-------------------------------------------------------------------
FC Global Realty Incorporated entered into a remediation agreement
with Opportunity Fund I-SS, LLC and three Note Holders on Sept. 24,
2018, in order to comply with The Nasdaq Stock Market's Listing
Rule 5550(b)(1) and address the concerns of the staff of Nasdaq
regarding certain stockholder approval violations.

The Company was notified by letter from Nasdaq on April 10, 2018
that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rule
5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of
$2.5 million in stockholders' equity.

On Oct. 12, 2017, FC Global issued to Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, Dennis M.
McGrath and Yoav Ben-Dror secured convertible promissory notes in
the principal amounts of $3,133,934, $977,666 and $1,515,000,
respectively.  Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the principal
was to convert to shares of the Company's common stock at maturity
at the lower of (i) $2.5183 or (ii) the volume-weighted average
price with respect to on-exchange transactions in the Company's
common stock executed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (or such other
market on which the Company's stock may then trade) during the 30
trading days prior to the maturity date, as reported by Bloomberg
L.P.; provided, however, that there was a conversion floor of $1.75
per share.

On Dec. 22, 2017, the Company and the Note Holders entered into a
stock grant agreement to, among other things, cause the early
conversion of the Notes into an aggregate of 5,628,291 shares of
the Company's common stock, resulting in a conversion price of
$0.9997, which is less than the Floor Price.  In addition, pursuant
to the Stock Grant Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) issue an
additional 1,857,336 shares of common stock to the Note Holders as
consideration for the various agreements of the Note Holders
contained in the Stock Grant Agreement, including the Note Holders'
agreement to give up their first priority security interest and
convert the Notes to equity and (ii) provide the Note Holders with
certain cash payments in consideration for services to be provided
by the Note Holders, in an amount equal to the amount of interest
foregone by the Note Holders as a result of the conversion of the
Notes.

On Dec. 22, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase
agreement with OFI pursuant to which OFI could invest up to
$11,000,000 in the Company in a series of closings, in exchange for
which OFI would receive shares of the Company's Series B Preferred
Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.  As of Sept. 24,
2018, the Company and OFI completed the three closing under the
Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided, in the
aggregate, $3,825,000 to the Company in exchange for an aggregate
of 3,825,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

On April 20, 2018, the Company and OFI entered into a cancellation
and exchange agreement, pursuant to which OFI agreed to provide an
additional $2,000,000 to the Company in exchange for 2,000,000
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to certain conditions
set forth in the Exchange Agreement, including, among other things,
the cancellation of 95,770 shares of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock held by OFI in exchange for 5,382,274 shares of the
Company's common stock.  Under the Exchange Agreement, closing of
this additional investment was to occur following stockholder
approval, which was not obtained.

Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation for the
Series B Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, which votes
on an as-converted basis, was issued to OFI with a conversion price
that constitutes a discount to the market price of the common stock
at the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, resulting
in the Series B Preferred Stock having a greater voting rights than
the existing shares of common stock, which violates the Nasdaq's
voting rights rule.  As previously reported, on April 20, 2018, the
Company and OFI entered into a supplemental agreement, pursuant to
which (i) OFI agreed to limit the voting power of the Series B
Preferred Stock to address this violation and (ii) the parties
thereto corrected a violation of Nasdaq's Listing Rules that
require approval from stockholders prior to the issuance of common
stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock issued under
the Purchase Agreement that are in excess of 19.99% of the
Company's issued and outstanding common stock on the date of
initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to OFI, which
resulted from a provision in the Purchase Agreement that
incorrectly stated that such percentage is to be calculated as of
the applicable conversion date of the Series B Preferred Stock
instead of the date of initial issuance thereof.

                      Remediation Agreement

Pursuant to the Remediation Agreement, the Stock Grant Agreement
was terminated, the Payout Shares were cancelled, and the Company
issued to the Note Holders an aggregate of 7,485,627 shares of
newly-designated Series C Preferred Stock.  In addition, the
resignations of Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath from the Company's
board of directors, which were previously effective upon certain
events set forth in the Stock Grant Agreement, will now become
effective upon the last to occur of (i) receipt of all of the
shares of common stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock and
(ii) the date that the shares of common stock underlying the Series
C Preferred Stock are registered for re-sale in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement.

In addition, the Purchase Agreement (subject to the survival of
certain provisions identified in the Remediation Agreement), the
Supplemental Agreement and the Exchange Agreement were terminated,
the Series B Preferred Stock issued to OFI was cancelled and the
Company issued to OFI 6,217,490 shares of newly-designated Series D
Preferred Stock.  In addition, OFI agreed to purchase $100,000 of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $0.65
per share on the last day of each month, commencing on
Sept. 30, 2018, until it has purchased an aggregate of $500,000 of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock; provided that, upon closing of
any material business combination involving the Company that is
approved by OFI, OFI agreed to purchase an additional $1,500,000 of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $0.65 per share.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that
stockholder approval of the Remediation Agreement has been
obtained, instead of purchasing shares of Series D Preferred Stock,
OFI agreed to purchase shares of common stock at a price of $0.65
per share.

The Remediation Agreement also terminated two voting agreements,
dated Dec. 22, 2017, among OFI, the Note Holders and certain other
security holders, the registration rights agreement, dated
Dec. 22, 2017, between the Company and OFI, and the registration
rights agreement, dated Dec. 22, 2017, between the Company and the
Note Holders.

The terms of the Series C Preferred Stock are governed by a
certificate of designation filed by the Company with the Nevada
Secretary of State on Sept. 24, 2018.  Pursuant to the Series C
Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 7,485,627 shares
of its preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock.

As promptly as possible following the date of the Remediation
Agreement (and in no event later than 30 days thereafter), the
Company is required to prepare and file a preliminary proxy
statement relating to stockholder approval of (i) the Remediation
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) the
issuance of common stock upon conversion of all shares of Series C
Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issued under the
Remediation Agreement.  The Company is required to call, give
notice of and hold a stockholders meeting relating to such
stockholder approval reasonably promptly after the date that any
comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission on the proxy
statement have been resolved or the final proxy statement is
otherwise ready for dispatch.

                 Registration Rights Agreement

On Sept. 24, 2018, in connection with the Remediation Agreement,
the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with OFI
and the Note Holders, pursuant to which the Company agreed to
register all shares of common stock that may be issued upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred
Stock issued pursuant to the Remediation Agreement, as well as all
other shares of the Company's capital stock held by OFI, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company agreed to file a
registration statement covering the resale of those Registrable
Securities within 30 days of the date of the Registration Rights
Agreement and cause such registration statement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any
event, no later than 120 days following the filing date if such
registration statement is filed on Form S-3 or 150 days if such
registration statement is filed on Form S-1.  If such registration
statement is not filed or declared effective by the SEC on or prior
to those dates, or if after such registration statement is declared
effective, without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts
therefor, such registration statement ceases for any reason to be
effective for more than an aggregate of 30 trading days during any
12-month period, which need not be consecutive, then in addition to
any other rights the holders of Registrable Securities may have
under the Registration Rights Agreement or under applicable law,
the Company will pay to each holder an amount in cash, as partial
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the
product obtained by multiplying (x) $1.00 by (y) the number of
shares of Registrable Securities held by the holder; provided that,
in no event will the Company be liable for liquidated damages in
excess of 1.0% of the Investment Amount in any single month and
that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the
holders under the Registration Rights Agreement will be 10% of the
Investment Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing and
effective date deadlines above will be tolled (i.e., extended),
during such time as the Company is actively pursuing a business
combination involving the Company that is approved by each of OFI
and the Note Holders.

                        Services Agreement

On Sept. 24, 2018, in connection with the Remediation Agreement,
the Company entered into a services agreement with the Note
Holders, pursuant to which each of the Note Holders agreed to
provide certain services to the Company and/or its subsidiaries in
exchange for certain cash payments set forth in the Services
Agreement.  Under the Services Agreement, the Company agreed to
make payments to Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, Dennis M. McGrath and Yoav
Ben-Dror in the amount of $21,328.16, $6,653.56, and $10,310.42,
respectively, per month until Dec. 31, 2018, provided that Cash
Payments to Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath will be made bi-monthly in
accordance with the Company's payroll practices.  The Company may,
at its option, prepay the Cash Payments at any time without any
penalty or premium.  The Company and the Note Holders agreed that
if the Company instructs the Note Holders to cease providing the
services or otherwise attempts to or does terminate the Note
Holders as service providers for any reason, such cessation of
services or termination will not affect the Company's obligation to
make the Cash Payments.

In addition to the Cash Payments, the Services Agreement provides
that Dr. Dolev Rafaeli and Dennis M. McGrath will continue to
receive the employee benefits that they are currently receiving
through Dec. 31, 2018, including existing health and disability
benefits, and for so long after Dec. 31, 2018 as they continue to
provide the services described in the Services Agreement.  After
Dec. 31, 2018 and once Dr. Dolev Rafaeli and Dennis M. McGrath no
longer provide those services, as previously agreed in their
employment agreements with the Company, they will receive COBRA
coverage for a period of 18 months, to be fully paid for, or
reimbursed to Messrs. Rafaeli and McGrath, by the Company.

Formerly known as PhotoMedex, Inc., FC Global Realty Incorporated
(and its subsidiaries) founded in 1980, is transitioning from its
former business as a skin health company to a company focused on
real estate development and asset management, concentrating
primarily on investments in high quality income producing assets,
hotel and resort developments, residential developments and other
opportunistic commercial properties.  The company is headquartered

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $5.89 million in total assets,

convertible preferred stock series B, and a total stockholders'
deficit of $2.87 million.

The report from the Company's independent accounting firm Fahn
Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel, in Tel Aviv, Israel, on the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017,
includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company has
incurred net losses for each of the years ended Dec. 31, 2017 and
2016 and has not yet generated any revenues from real estate
activities.  As of Dec. 31, 2017, there is an accumulated deficit

FC GLOBAL: Sued by Former CEO for Breach of Contract
----------------------------------------------------
FC Global Realty Incorporated has received notice that a suit had
been filed against it in the Supreme Court of New York for the
County of New York by Suneet Singal, its former chief executive
officer.  The suit also names the Company's transfer agent,
Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions Inc.  The suit alleges breach
of contract, breach of good faith and, with regard to Broadridge, a
violation of UCC Article 8-401, and demands the issuance and
release to Mr. Singal of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, as well as other unspecified damages.

As previously reported, the Company issued Mr. Singal 1,000,000
shares of its common stock in connection with his resignation from
the chief executive officer position, under a Separation Agreement
dated Dec. 22, 2017.  The Company's board of directors later
unanimously determined to rescind the grant of that stock, in part
because of discoveries made in 2018 regarding the valuation and/or
transfer of assets by First Capital Real Estate Operating
Partnership, L.P., in which Mr. Singal is chief executive officer
of First Capital Real Estate Trust Incorporated, the Partnership's
General Partner.  Those discoveries included an alleged misleading
valuation of one property resulting in that property's value being
lowered by approximately $1 million, and an alleged incorrect
transfer of interests in another property, Avalon Jubilee, to the
Company despite the interests being subject to a right of first
refusal.

The Company has not yet been served with the lawsuit, but intends
to vigorously defend itself and Broadridge from these allegations.

FORMING MACHINING: Moody's Assigns B3 CFR, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 Corporate Family Rating and
B3-PD Probability of Default Rating to Forming Machining Industries
Holdings, LLC, the legal borrower of the proposed debt facilities
used to finance the acquisition of The Atlas Group by an existing
portfolio company of AE Industrial Partners, LP, FMI, together
referred to as "NewCo" which will d/b/a as Atlas Group.
Concurrently, Moody's assigned a B2 rating to the proposed
first-lien senior secured bank credit facilities, comprised of a
$50 million revolving credit facility due 2023 and $245 million
term loan due 2025 and assigned a Caa2 rating to the proposed $75
million second lien term loan due 2026. The ratings outlook is
stable.

Proceeds from the new bank debt facilities together with new cash
equity and existing cash equity in FMI will be used to fund the
acquisition of NewCo, repay existing FMI debt, and pay
transaction-related expenses.

The following ratings were assigned:

Forming Machining Industries Holdings, LLC:

Corporate Family Rating, at B3

Probability of Default Rating, at B3-PD

Senior secured first-lien $50 million revolving credit facility due
2023, at B2 (LGD3)

Senior secured first-lien $245 million term loan due 2025, at B2
(LGD3)

Senior secured second-lien $75 million term loan due 2026, at Caa2
(LGD5)

Outlook, Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

Forming Machining Industries Holdings, LLC's B3 corporate family
rating reflects its modest revenue scale (approximately $250
million pro forma revenue base), high financial leverage and
acquisition integration risk stemming from the proposed combination
of The Atlas Group and FMI that are currently operating as two
stand-alone entities. The meaningful amount of debt being incurred
as part of the transaction and the amount and timing of realizing
expected synergies is also a credit consideration. Pro forma for
the transaction, last twelve months ended June 30, 2018 debt/EBITDA
approximates 6.7x (excluding any anticipated synergies) and
slightly over 6.0x after accounting for $5 million of synergies.
The rating also incorporates inherent risks faced by suppliers from
the meaningful aerospace production ramp-up and sharp rise in
aircraft deliveries, particularly, in 2019. In addition, the higher
revenues anticipated at NewCo are expected to be derived from
demand growth rather than price increases given ongoing efforts to
seek cost reductions from suppliers by aerospace OEMs. Partially
offsetting this, is the learning curve efficiencies being attained
by suppliers such as NewCo while meeting the higher demand levels
for aerospace parts and consequent positive effect on
profitability.

Counterbalancing these credit risks, the ratings also reflect
NewCo's sizable backlog that provides a high degree of revenue
visibility over the next twelve to eighteen months. Importantly,
FMI and Atlas have sole-source content on high growth aerospace
platforms across the commercial aerospace, business jet and defense
markets. Favorably, acquisition integration risk will be tempered
by both The Atlas Group and FMI having complementary businesses, a
similar customer base (although FMI would meaningfully increase the
company's customer concentration on a pro forma basis) and the
manufacture of complex assemblies for various aircraft. The Atlas
Group comprises over 70% of the company's pro forma combined
revenue base. The inclusion of FMI should contribute to a higher
EBITDA margin profile for the combined entity given the higher
margins at FMI and the realization of primarily cost synergies in
the form of SG&A reduction and other back-office rationalization,
increased scale driving purchasing efficiencies and capitalizing on
leveraging Atlas' low-cost manufacturing facility in Mexico.

Forming Machining Industries Holdings LLC's adequate liquidity
profile is supported by its expectation that the company will
generate positive mid to high-single digit free cash flow over the
next twelve to eighteen months, nominal cash balances and good
availability under its revolving credit facility. The company's
five-year $50 million revolving credit facility is expected to have
good covenant headroom. The company's sole financial covenant is a
springing first lien net leverage covenant on its revolver,
applicable when the revolver is drawn above 30%.

The ratings for the debt instruments comprise both the overall
probability of default to which Moody's assigned a PDR of B3-PD and
an average family loss given default assessment. The B2 (LGD3)
rating assigned to the first lien senior secured credit facilities
using Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology, reflects the
facilities' senior position in the capital structure. The second
lien term loan, leases and trade payables provide junior capital
support. The proposed second lien term loan is rated Caa2, two
notches below the B3 CFR due to the sizable amount of senior
secured bank debt senior to the second lien debt.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that adjusted debt
to EBITDA will decline to less than 5.5 times over the next twelve
to eighteen months, driven by increased EBITDA stemming largely
from double digit revenue growth in 2019, moderating to mid-single
digits over the next two years as well as positive free cash flow
generation.

Given the modest revenue scale, a ratings upgrade would be
considered if the company profitably executes on top line growth,
reduces elevated debt levels, end-markets continue their positive
trajectory and the company demonstrates successful acquisition
integration. In addition, financial leverage sustained at or below
5.25 times and free cash flow to adjusted debt in the high single
digits, would be supportive of higher ratings.

Moody's could downgrade the ratings if debt/EBITDA increases
towards 7.0 times and is sustained at that level, experiences
integration challenges or if free cash flow to adjusted debt turns
negative. In addition, if the company's financial policy becomes
more aggressive through debt-financed dividends as well as
significant erosion in its liquidity profile could cause downwards
ratings pressure.

Headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, Forming Machining Industries
Holdings, LLC is the holding company of The Atlas Group ("Atlas")
and F.M.I., Inc. ("FMI"), manufacturers of complex assemblies for
commercial, military, and business aircraft. Products include door,
nacelle and wing structures. These entities will be controlled by
AE Industrial Partners, LP once the transaction closes. Atlas and
FMI generated pro forma combined revenues of $250 million for the
last twelve month period ended June 30, 2018.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Aerospace and
Defense Industry published in March 2018.

GOODRX INC: S&P Assigns 'B' Issuer Credit Rating, Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B' issuer credit rating to Santa
Monica, Calif.-based GoodRx Inc. The outlook is stable.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'B+' issue-level
rating and '2' recovery rating to the company's proposed $40
million secured revolving credit facility due 2023 and $520 million
first-lien term loan due 2025. The '2' recovery rating indicates
our expectation for substantial recovery (70% to 90%; rounded
estimate: 80%) in the event of a payment default. Additionally, we
assigned our 'CCC+' issue-level rating and '6' recovery rating to
the company's proposed $225 million second-lien term loan due 2026.
The '6' recovery rating indicates our expectation for negligible
recovery (0% to 10%; rounded estimate: 0%) in the event of a
payment default."

The rating on GoodRx reflects its narrow focus, limited geographic
diversification, and small scale despite having a relatively solid
position within the growing U.S. prescription market. Strong
revenue visibility from recurring revenues partially offset these
risks. GoodRx's recurring revenues come from every prescription
refill after the initial use of the GoodRx coupon.

S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation for low-50%
revenue growth enabling EBITDA expansion-based deleveraging and
moderate free cash flow generation. We expect the company will fund
business development activity by internally generated cash flows.

"We could lower our rating if GoodRx adopts a more aggressive
financial policy than we currently incorporate in the rating, or if
an unforeseen steep drop in EBITDA results in sustained adjusted
leverage above 7x. Given what we see as significant capacity at the
current rating level, we believe an earnings decline will unlikely
precipitate a downgrade. More likely, a major debt-financed
acquisition or one-time dividend.

"We could raise the rating if the company reduces leverage to 4x.
We also have to be convinced that the company would sustain
leverage at this level. We believe this scenario is unlikely over
the next 12 months."



GREAT WESTERN PETROLEUM: S&P Affirms 'B-' ICR, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B-' issuer credit rating on Great
Western Petroleum LLC. The outlook is stable.

S&P said, "At the same time, we raised our issue-level rating on
the company's senior unsecured debt to 'B' from 'CCC+'. We revised
our recovery rating to '2' from '5', indicating our expectation of
a substantial (70%-90%; rounded estimate: 85%) recovery in the
event of payment default.

"Our rating on Great Western reflects its smaller size and scale
among peers, high weighting to oil and natural gas liquids, and
single-region concentration in the D-J Basin. At mid-year 2018, the
company's proved reserves totaled 187 million barrels of oil
equivalent (mmboe), of which 67% were oil/natural gas liquids
(NGLs) and 74% were classified as PUD. Although proved reserves
have increased significantly, through a combination of organic
drilling additions and the company's second quarter 2018 asset
acquisition, they remain smaller than those of higher-rated peers.
In addition, we view the high portion of PUD reserves unfavorably,
given the added risk and cost to convert these into producing
reserves. This is partially offset by the company's high weighting
to oil and NGLs, which we view positively given the generally
higher profitability of liquids compared with natural gas.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Great Western
will continue to expand production as it develops its reserves in
the D-J Basin while maintaining FFO to debt above 30% and adequate
liquidity.

"We could lower the rating if FFO to debt falls to a level that we
would view as unsustainable or if liquidity deteriorates. Such a
scenario would likely occur if oil prices drop sharply and the

IRB HOLDING: Moody's Puts B2 CFR on Review Amid Sonic Corp. Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed all ratings of IRB Holding
Corporation on review for downgrade including its B2 Corporate
Family Rating, B2-PD Probability of Default Rating, B1 senior
secured bank credit facility ratings and Caa1 senior unsecured note
rating.

The review for downgrade was prompted by IRB's recent announcement
that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Sonic Corp.
for approximately $2.3 billion in cash or just over 14 times Sonics
2017 unadjusted EBITDA and fund the acquisition with a combination
of existing cash, incremental debt and cash common equity.

On Review for Downgrade:

Issuer: IRB Holding Corporation

Probability of Default Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade,
currently B2-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade, currently
B2

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, Placed on Review for
Downgrade, currently B1 (LGD3)

Senior Secured Term Loan, Placed on Review for Downgrade, currently
B1 (LGD3)

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Placed on Review for
Downgrade, currently Caa1 (LGD5)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: IRB Holding Corporation

Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

"Moody's review will focus on IRB's ultimate capital structure and
the impact new and assumed securitized debt will have on the
consolidated credit and the ratings of outstanding debt
instruments." stated Bill Fahy, Moody's Senior Credit Officer. "The
review will also focus on the sustained earnings and cash flow
strength of the combined companies including the ultimate amount
and certainty of residual contributions, if any, from the Sonic
whole business securitization, stated Fahy." Additionally, Moody's
will assess the additional call on management's time and input on
the heels of another recent large acquisition (Buffalo Wild Wings)
where operating trends and cost pressures are more challenging "
stated Fahy.

IRB Holding Corp. is the parent holding company of Arby's
Restaurant Group, Inc. and Buffalo Wild Wings. IRB is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ARG IH LLC and Inspire Brands, Inc.
Annual revenues are approximately $3.4 billion while systemwide
sales will exceed $7.5 billion.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Restaurant
Industry published in January 2018.


JD POWER: Fitch Affirms B LT Issuer Defalut Rating, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings (LT
IDR) of J.D. Power (JDP) and holding company, Jefferson Holdco
(HoldCo) at 'B'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Approximately $701
million of outstanding debt is affected by Fitch's rating action.
Fitch has also assigned issue ratings to HoldCo as it is the
co-borrower under the first and second lien credit facilities.

The affirmation reflects Fitch's view that JDP continues to make
progress realizing cost savings following the carve-out from S&P
Global, particularly as they are related to lower costs relative to
the S&P transition services agreement. Fitch expects that one-time
adjustments to EBITDA will continue to trail down over the back
half of 2018. Additionally, Fitch expects positive FCF in 2018 as
larger one-time costs and investments associated with the
separation are largely compete.

The ratings continue to reflect the company's high leverage, small
scale, and meaningful end-market concentration to the auto
industry. These factors are offset by JDP's strong brand as a
trusted provider of consumer intelligence, its diverse and
long-tenured customer base, and high proportion of
subscription-based revenues, which should provide significant
visibility and stability to FCF generation. Fitch also views
positively the company's proprietary data sets, which are highly
embedded into its customer's workflows and difficult to replicate.

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's expectation of low-single-digit
top-line growth for full year 2018. Weaker top-line performance in
2017 led the company to undertake a number of senior management
changes. JDP installed a new CEO in March 2018 and hired a new head
of operations for Japan in April 2018. Fitch believes the senior
management and other investments in underperforming regions (e.g.
Japan and China) are prudent, and will help improve and deepen
customer relationships and retention in these regions. Notably, JDP
returned to top-line growth in the first half of 2018, owing to
strength in the Data & Analytics, Service Industries and Consumer
segments, as well as some stabilization in the Chinese Autos
segment.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Strong Brand and Large, Diverse Customer Base: The JDP brand is
highly recognized by U.S. consumers and is considered the 'Gold
Standard' in the auto industry. JDP has a decades-long track record
of providing well-known and trusted independent assessments of
products to consumers through its surveys. JDP has established
relationships with all of the leading global OEMs and over 50
Fortune Global 500 financial institutions and insurance companies.
JDP also benefits from low customer concentration with its largest
customer accounting for less than 10% of its revenues. The company
has maintained strong and long-tenured relationships with retention
of 10 years or more for roughly 75% of its customer base.

Diversification Through International Growth and Expansion to Other
Industries: JDP has expanded its international presence, and more
than 30% of revenues were generated outside of the U.S., up from
11% of revenues in 2007. Additionally, JDP has leveraged its strong
brand by expanding into other service industries including
financial institutions and telecom, providing improved
diversification to its revenue base.

Critical, Industry Embedded Data Sets: Fitch believes that JDP's
data sets are critical to its customer's workflow and are difficult
to replicate. Its products are highly embedded in the decision
making processes with multiple customer touch points across the
value chain.

High Recurring Revenue Base: Subscription-based revenues accounted
for roughly 90% of JDP's LTM revenues (excluding China) and provide
significant visibility and stability to FCF generation. The company
also has limited working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, which translates in strong FCF conversion metrics.

Cyclical End Markets and End Market Concentration: JDP is heavily
reliant on the health of the auto industry with roughly 70% of its
revenues stemming from auto related companies including the OEMs,
dealers, and auto suppliers. During the last recessionary period,
JDP experienced a 10% decline in revenues and adjusted EBITDA
margin contracted to 10% from 12%, as the company was unable to
reduce costs to completely offset top-line pressures. In the event
of an economic decline and/or auto sales decline, JDP could face
reduced revenues as its traditional client base has less of a
budget for its service offerings, for example advisory/consulting
engagements.

Private Equity Overhang: Fitch views negatively the sponsor, XIO
Group's, willingness to increase leverage to fund an equity
distribution so quickly after the initial investment. While there
are no plans for follow-on dividend distributions to the sponsor,
Fitch remains concerned that the company could pursue additional
distributions as it reduces leverage over the rating horizon.

DERIVATION SUMMARY

JDP's business model most closely aligns with that of a data
analytics company. Characteristics of the peer group include a
large proportion of revenues stemming from recurring subscriptions,
critical industry data sets that are not easily replicable and are
embedded into the workflow of customers, stable EBITDA margins and
meaningful positive FCF generation. Companies in the peer set may
also have cyclical end markets or end market concentration (e.g.
JDP has a concentration to the auto industry, IHS Markit to the Oil
and Gas sectors, Verisk to the Property and Casualty
Insurance-related businesses, Moody's Investors Service/S&P
Global/Dun & Bradstreet to the Financial Services sector).

JDP, with gross unadjusted leverage of roughly 7.0x, LTM June 30,
2018, is operating at the high-end of the peer group. JDP also
lacks scale as compared to much larger peers and has significant
end-market concentration to the auto industry. As such, Fitch
believes that J.D. Power's credit profile is more reflective of the
'B' rating category.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's Key Assumptions Within Its Rating Case for the Issuer

  - 2018 results reflect a full year inclusion of the NAG
acquisition.

- Fitch assumes a return to low-single-digit organic revenue growth
in 2019 supported by continued mid-single-digit growth in Data and
Analytics, flat- to low-single-digit growth in Automotive segment
and flat- to low-single-digit growth in the Services
segment. Fitch assumes Global Autos stabilizes in 2018.

  - Adjusted EBITDA margins in the low 30% range, driven by
realized cost savings and the continued scalability of the business
model. Sponsor management fees of $3million-$4 million per year
over the rating case.

  - Capital expenditures at roughly 1% of revenues.

  - Fitch estimates average annual FCF generation of roughly $40
million-$50 million over the rating case.

  - No incremental acquisitions.

  - JDP will use excess FCF to repay debt. JDP's gross unadjusted
leverage will decline from roughly 7.0x in FY 2018 to 5.0x in FY
2020.

Recovery Analysis:

  - The recovery analysis assumes that JDP would be considered a
going-concern in bankruptcy and that the company would be
reorganized rather than liquidated. Fitch has assumed a 10%
administrative claim.

  - JDP's going concern EBITDA is based on LTM June 30, 2018
EBITDA. The going-concern EBITDA is 10% below LTM EBITDA to reflect
the industry's move from top of the cycle conditions to mid-cycle
conditions and is similar to the rate of decline experienced during
the last recession.

  - Fitch assumes a fully drawn revolver in its recovery analysis
since credit revolvers are tapped as companies are under distress.
Fitch assumes a full draw on JDP's $32.5 million revolver which was
fully available.

  - An enterprise value (EV) multiple of 8x is used to calculate a
post-reorganization valuation, above the 5.5x median TMT emergence
EV/forward EBITDA multiple, and reflects a mid-cycle multiple. The
estimate considered Fitch's more positive view of the data
analytics subsector including the typically high proportion of
recurring revenues, sizeable and stable EBITDA margins and strong
FCF conversion. Recent acquisitions in the data and analytics
subsector have occurred at attractive multiples. Acquisitions and
dispositions in the data and analytics subsector ranged from
10x-13x. Fitch incorporates the following recent acquisitions: JDP
purchased by XIO Group for 13x in 2016; JDP purchased NADA UCG for
$165.8 million in July 2015 for a 10x multiple (pre-acquisition UCG
EBITDA was $16.9 million); in March 2016, IHS announced its
acquisition of Markit for $6.2 billion representing a 12x multiple
of Markit's FY 2015 EBITDA. Current EV multiples of public
companies similar to JDP trade at the 15x-22x range.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Positive Rating Action

  - Strong organic revenue growth and EBITDA expansion owing to
execution of cost savings plans result in gross leverage being
maintained below 6.0x.

Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Negative Rating Action

  - Adverse operating performance and/or failure to achieve planned
cost savings that increases gross leverage above 7.5x for a
sustained period and prevents positive FCF generation.

  - Weakening of JDP's operating profile characterized by weak
organic revenue growth and lack of margin expansion owing to sector
headwinds, continued weakness in the Chinese geographic region, and
inability to expand penetration of products and analytics.

LIQUIDITY

Fitch believes that JDP had adequate liquidity supported roughly
$15 million in balance sheet cash as of June 30, 2018, a $32.5
million revolver. Fitch believes the company will have enough
internally generated to cover the modest amortization payments (1%
of the amended first lien term loan per year) through 2021. The
company's next sizable maturity comes in September 2023 when the
first lien term loan comes due.

Notably, FCF was negative $123 million in FY 2017 and negative $96
million for LTM June 30, 2018, owing largely to the dividend
distribution to equity sponsor and one-time costs related to the
separation from S&P Global. JDP benefits from low capital
expenditure requirements, which have less than 1% of revenues and
the resulting strong FCF conversion metrics. Fitch expects FCF
generation to improve meaningfully in FY 2018 as one-time costs are
largely completed. Fitch estimates annual FCF generation in the
range of $40 million over the ratings horizon.

FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings:

Jefferson Holdco Inc. (co-borrower):

  -- Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B'.

J.D. Power and Associates (JDP):

  -- Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B';

  -- Senior Secured First Lien Credit Facility at 'BB'/'RR1';

  -- Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility at 'BB-'/'RR2'.

Fitch has assigned the following ratings:

Jefferson Holdco Inc. (co-borrower):

  -- Senior Secured First Lien Credit Facility at 'BB'/'RR1';

  -- Senior Secured Second Lien Credit Facility at 'BB-'/'RR2'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

LSC COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Alters Outlook to Negative & Affirm B+ ICR
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its rating outlook on Chicago-based LSC
Communications Inc. to negative from stable. At the same time, S&P
affirmed all ratings on the company, including its 'B+' issuer
credit rating.

S&P said, "The outlook revision reflects our view that while LSC
has marginally expanded its scale and capabilities through recent
acquisitions, expected 2018 adjusted leverage is at the top of our
current rating leverage threshold, the mid-3x area, which is high
for a commercial printer in an industry that is experiencing
secular decline. In addition, pricing and volume trends remain
negative as national and regional printers compete for client
volume, leading to added pressure on revenue and profitability.

"The negative outlook reflects our view that LSC's adjusted
leverage is high and there is negligible margin for additional
leverage at the 'B+' rating. The outlook reflects the risk that
weaker-than-expected operating performance, difficulties
integrating recent acquisitions, or slow debt repayment could cause
leverage to increase and stay above 3.5x.

"We could lower our issuer credit rating if we believe that
leverage will stay above 3.5x, if the company experiences liquidity
pressures, or if the margin of covenant compliance declines below
15%. A downgrade would likely result from greater than expected
revenue declines, worsening industry conditions, difficulty
integrating recent acquisitions, or difficulties in reducing costs
in line with revenues. We could also consider a downgrade if the
company pursues a more aggressive financial policy or deviates from
its stated leverage thresholds.

"We could revise the outlook back to stable if we become convinced
that leverage will stay below the 3.5x level due to successful
acquisition integration, stable or improving EBITDA margins, and a
track record of debt reduction."

stating that the Company's recurring losses from operations and its
need to obtain additional capital raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.

MESOBLAST LIMITED: MPC-150-IM Featured at Heart Disease Symposium
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mesoblast Limited's proprietary allogeneic mesenchymal precursor
cell (MPC) heart failure product candidate MPC-150-IM for use in
children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) was featured
at the First Cardiac Regenerative Symposium for Congenital Heart
Disease in Baltimore, Maryland on the weekend.  The symposium
focused on the potential for using cellular therapies in the
treatment of complex congenital heart conditions.

A randomized, placebo-controlled 24-patient trial is ongoing at
Boston Children's Hospital and combines an injection of MPC-150-IM
into the left ventricle with corrective heart surgery in children
under the age of five with HLHS.  To date there have not been any
cell-related safety concerns in the trial.  Consequently, this
trial has the potential to extend the safety profile of MPC-150-IM
beyond adults, where it is being studied in two complementary
late-stage clinical trials in patients with advanced and end-stage
chronic heart failure, to children with congenital heart disease.

Dr. Sitaram Emani, associate professor of Surgery at Harvard
Medical School and Director of the Complex Biventricular Repair
Program at Boston Children's Hospital, and the trial's principal
investigator, said: "We believe that a direct injection of
Mesoblast's cellular medicine into the hypoplastic left ventricle
as an adjunct to surgical rehabilitation has the potential to
promote growth and regeneration of that ventricle and recruit it
back into the circulation.  This provides a chance for the patient
with this congenital disease to regain normal two-ventricle
circulation commensurate with improved quality of life and
longevity."

The underlying mechanism of action by which MPC-150-IM is thought
to exert its therapeutic effects in both pediatric and adult
patient populations, based on preclinical evidence, is through
reduction of damaging inflammation, maturation of the vasculature,
reduction in fibrosis, and cardiac repair.

A Phase 2b trial comparing an injection of MPC-150-IM or placebo
into the left ventricle in 159 adult patients with end-stage heart
failure receiving a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant
completed enrollment in September 2017, with all patients having a
planned follow-up of at least one year.  The United States Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Mesoblast a Regenerative
Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for use of MPC-150-IM
in these patients based on prior Phase 2 trial results showing
improved heart function, prolonged time to re-hospitalization and
improved early survival after a single intra-myocardial injection
of Mesoblast's MPCs at the time of an LVAD implant.  Full results
of this Phase 2b trial will be presented by the trial's independent
investigators at an upcoming conference.

A Phase 3 trial in approximately 600 patients with New York Heart
Association (NYHA) Class II/III chronic heart failure is also being
actively conducted in the United States, with over 85% of patients
enrolled.  The objectives of this Phase 3 events-driven trial are
to evaluate the ability of a single catheter-based injection of
MPC-150-IM to reduce heart failure-related major adverse cardiac
events (HF-MACE) in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, as
well as delay or prevent disease progression to end-stage heart
failure and terminal cardiac events. In a prior Phase 2 trial,
HF-MACE events were significantly reduced by a single
intra-myocardial injection of MPC-150-IM.  This trial has
previously been successful in a futility analysis of the primary
endpoint.

MIDATECH PHARMA: Will Sell Its US Commercial Arm for $19 Million
----------------------------------------------------------------
Midatech Pharma Plc has entered into an agreement with Kanwa
Holdings, LP, an investment vehicle affiliated with Barings LLC, a
financial services firm, to sell Midatech Pharma US Inc. for total
consideration of up to $19.0 million.

The initial consideration for the sale and transfer of the entire
common stock of MTP US is $13.0 million, payable upon Closing, with
up to $6.0 million available by way of further consideration
dependent on the 2018 and 2019 net sales performance of certain MTP
US products, both individually and in aggregate.  The Sale is
subject to, among other things, the approval of Midatech's
shareholders.

Commenting on the Sale, Dr Craig Cook, chief executive officer of
Midatech Pharma, said: "The divestment of Midatech's US commercial
arm will allow us to streamline and reshape the business from a
specialty pharma to a pure play biotech company, and focus all our
energy, attention and resources on advancing our innovative, higher

reached key validation milestones in their development and
following completion we intend to accelerate this momentum for our
programs and platforms as we look to unlock the full value of our

Commenting on the acquisition, Jon Rotolo, Head of Barings

increasing the breadth of therapeutic options available to cancer
patients who experience significant adverse effects and
quality-of-life issues associated with cancer treatments.  This
transaction will align with our focus on the specialty
pharmaceutical healthcare sector within our Private Equity and Real
Assets platform."

Principal Terms of the Sale

Under the terms of terms of a stock purchase agreement made between
the Company MTP US and Kanwa Holdings, LP dated Sept. 26, 2018, and
unanimously approved by the Board of Midatech, the initial
consideration is $13.0 million, plus up to $6.0 million dependent
on the 2018 and 2019 net sales performance of certain MTP US
products individually and in aggregate.

The Sale Agreement anticipates that MTP US is acquired on a
debt-free cash-free basis and accordingly on completion of the
sale, Purchaser will deduct from the Initial Consideration (and
make payment on behalf of Midatech) certain indebtedness of MTP US,
under the loan agreement with MidCap Financial.  In addition,
certain transaction expenses attributable to the Sale shall also be
deducted from the Initial Consideration.  The amount of these
transaction expenses will be calculated at Closing but are not
expected to exceed $1m.

The Sale is subject to customary closing conditions including,
among other things, approval of the transaction by shareholders of
Midatech.  A circular containing a notice of General Meeting of
Midatech Shareholders will be sent to shareholders as soon as
reasonably practicable and will also be available on the Company's
website.  The Circular will include further details in relation to
the Sale and the basis of the Earn out.  A further announcement
will be made confirming publication of the Circular.

Financial effects of sale and use of proceeds

For the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2017, MTP US contributed
GBP6.7 million in net statutory revenues and GBP3.9 million of the
Group loss before tax.  Consequently, had the Sale occurred on Jan.
1, 2017, the Group would have reported a loss before tax for the
financial year ended Dec. 31, 2017 of GBP13.4 million compared to
the GBP17.3 million reported for the financial year ended Dec. 31,
2017.

For the six-month period to June 30, 2018, MTP US contributed
GBP3.1 million in net statutory revenues and GBP5.8 million of the
Group loss before tax, including a fair value adjustment of GBP4.7
million arising on the classification of the MTP US business as an
asset held for sale.  The net assets classified as held for sale as
at 30 June 2018 were GBP11.2m.

Had the Sale occurred on Jan. 1, 2018, the Group would have
reported a loss before tax from continuing and discontinued
operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 of GBP6.5
million compared to the GBP12.3 million reported for the same
period.  As at Dec. 31, 2017, the Group reported net assets of
GBP34.7 million, of which GBP18.6 million were attributed to MTP
US.  As at 30 June 2018, Group net assets were GBP23.4 million, of
which GBP11.2 million were attributed to MTP US.

The loss of US revenue resulting from the sale of MTP US is not
anticipated to have a materially negative impact on the cash flow
of the Midatech Group over the short to medium term.

Upon completion of the Sale, Midatech is required to repay its
outstanding loan to MidCap Financial of $7.0 million plus early
repayment fees and deferred interest.  The remaining proceeds of
the Sale (i.e. after Midcap repayment and other transaction costs)
are expected to be approximately $4.5 million (before any deferred
consideration which may be received under the Earnout).  These
proceeds will be used to fund the ongoing operating expenses of the
core business including the continued development of MTD201/
Q-Octreotide and MTX110.

Background to the Transaction

MTP US is the current commercial arm of Midatech.  MTP US is
focused on commercialising oncology supportive care products which
help patients manage the impact of their cancer as well as the side
effects of their cancer therapy.

As previously announced, the Board of Midatech has reviewed a range
of options to meet the cash flow needs of Midatech, including
non-dilutive financing and other strategic alternatives.
Accordingly, the Board has evaluated the sale of MTP US and has
concluded that the Sale optimises shareholder value and also
supplies the Group with additional funding.  Further, the Sale will
streamline the Midatech business with a focus on R&D and allow
management to completely focus on advancing on the Company's R&D

OUR TOWN ASSOCIATES: Seeks Authorization on Cash Collateral Use
---------------------------------------------------------------
Our Town Associates, LLC, seeks authorization form the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to use the
cash collateral of its principal secured creditor, U.S. Bank
National Association, as Trustee for the Registered Holders of
LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C6, Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificate, Series 2007-C6.

Our Town owns a Shopping Center on a 5.943 acre parcel located just
outside of Charlotte, in historic downtown Mooresville, North
Carolina. The shopping center is anchored by a Food Lion and is
100% leased to nine other tenants. Prior to the Filing Date, Our
Town retained Berkeley Capital Advisors to market the Property for
sale. Various parties expressed interest in acquiring the Property
but the Debtor was unable to obtain a contract in an amount
sufficient for U.S. Bank to release its lien.

Our Town executed a Promissory Note to Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB in
the original principal amount of $3,425,000 whereby the Debtor
became indebted to the Original Lender. The Note is secured by that
certain Deed of Trust, Fixture Filing and Security Agreement from
the Debtor to Daniel S. Huffenus, as Trustee, for the benefit of
Lehman Brothers Bank. It is also secured by an Assignment of Rents
and Leases from the Debtor to Lehman Brothers Bank.

The Note, the Deed of Trust, the Assignment of Rents and related
loan documents were thereafter assigned by Lehman Brothers Bank to
LaSalle Bank National Association, in its capacity as Trustee for
the registered holders of LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C6,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-C6.

The Loan Documents were thereafter assigned by Bank of America,
N.A. (successor by merger to LaSalle Bank National Association) as
Trustee for the registered holders of LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage
Trust 2007-C6, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2007-C6 to U.S. Bank.

Payment of the Notes was personally guaranteed by Whitney Graham,
Jr. and Jon S. Wheeler, but the guarantee obligations were
eliminated due to the leasing success of the Property. Mr. Graham
and Mr. Wheeler may have liability under a Guaranty of Recourse
Obligations of Borrower.

U.S. Bank asserts that as of April 20, 2018, its payoff was
approximately $3,360,295, and it was holding taxes, insurance and
replacement reserves in escrow and reserve accounts totaling
approximately amount of $70,000.

As the Petition Date, the Debtor estimates that the value of its
cash collateral comprised of cash and accounts receivable to be
approximately $16,000.

The Debtor's most immediate cash needs are (a) to pay insurance
premiums and to (2) pay the utilities and operating expenses of the
Shopping Center. Insurance premiums are due each month through a
premium financing arrangement. The Budget includes a provision for
the payment of management fees to Wheeler Real Estate Investment,
LLC. WREI is a property management company owned by Jon Wheeler –
who serves as the manager to the managing member of the Debtor.
WREI provides the day to day asset and property management services
to the Shopping Center in exchange for a 5% management fee.

The Debtor proposes to use cash collateral to pay only reasonable
and necessary operating and administrative expenses, either
incurred in the ordinary course of the Debtor's business, or
approved by the Court as administrative expenses as set forth on
the Budget, including but not limited to management fees, leasing
commissions, real estate taxes, insurance, operating expenses of
the property, professional fees, and statutory fees to the U.S.
Trustee, as detailed on the budget.

In addition to U.S. Bank's security interest in the cash
collateral, U.S. Bank's claims against the Debtor are also secured
by pre-petition interests in or liens upon the real property owned
by the Debtor and the rents generated from the Real Property.

The Debtor proposes to offer to provide U.S. Bank with the
following adequate protection for the use of pre-petition cash
collateral:

     (1) A replacement lien, pursuant to section 361 of the
Bankruptcy Code, in and to all property of the estate of the kind
presently securing repayment of U.S. Bank's claims against the
Debtor, which will attach to the Debtor's property to the same
extent, validity and priority of the liens that existed on the
Petition Date;

     (2) After receiving rents from tenants in a non-DIP account,
the Debtor will promptly transfer any and all cash, checks or
monies it collects, receipts or derives from the operation of its
business or the use of the Cash Collateral (whether pre- or
post-petition) into the Debtor's Debtor-in-Possession bank account;
and

     (3) Maintenance and preservation of the value of the Property
as required under the U.S. Bank loan documents.

PINNACLE OPERATING: Moody's Cuts CFR to Caa2, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the corporate family rating of
Pinnacle Operating Corporation to Caa2 from Caa1 and the
probability of default rating to Caa2-PD from Caa1-PD. Moody's also
downgraded instrument ratings. The downgrade reflects
weaker-than-expected performance due to ongoing challenging
agricultural market environment which Moody's expects to continue
into 2019, the company's heightened leverage and concerns over its
capital structure. The ratings outlook is stable.

"Despite debt restructuring in early 2017, Pinnacle's leverage
remains high," said Anastasija Johnson, senior analyst at Moody's.
"Given lackluster EBITDA growth, projected negative free cash flow
in 2018 and ongoing weakness in the agricultural markets, the
company has limited ability to meaningfully de-lever over the next
12-18 months and we view its capital structure as untenable."

Downgrades:

Issuer: Pinnacle Operating Corporation

Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to Caa2-PD from Caa1-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Caa2 from Caa1

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Downgraded to Caa2 (LGD4) from
Caa1 (LGD4)

Senior Secured 2nd Lien Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to Ca
(LGD6) from Caa3 (LGD5)

Senior Secured 1.5 Lien Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to Caa3
(LGD5) from Caa2 (LGD5)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Pinnacle Operating Corporation

Outlook, Remains Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The downgrade to Caa2 reflects Pinnacle's weak credit metrics and
projected negative free cash flow in 2018, with Moody's adjusted
leverage of 11.4 times as of June 30, given the peak revolver draw,
and lack of significant improvement to EBITDA despite steps taken
to cut costs and enhance its proprietary products business. Moody's
expects leverage to decline by the end of 2018 as the company
releases working capital and repays revolver, however, it will
remain above 7.5x. Moody's expects limited organic EBITDA growth in
2019 due to commodity crop price weakness and volatility amid
escalating trade disputes, leading to continued decline in farmer
income and reduced demand for agricultural inputs. Pinnacle's
management has also pared back some of the projected benefits from
completed cost restructuring initiatives, but it continues to
review its operations to identify potential efficiencies. The
company's levered balance sheet limits growth through sizeable
acquisitions and Moody's doesn't expect the company to generate a
significant amount of cash in 2018, constraining its ability to
de-lever and increasing refinancing risk. The company's $397
million ABL revolver and $28 million of notes mature in November
2020 and the $314 million first lien term loan matures in November
2021. Moody's believes the company will be challenged to bring
leverage closer to 6 times ahead of refinancing its debt.

Pinnacle's Caa2 corporate family rating reflects weak credit
metrics and performance volatility due to its direct exposure to
the cyclical and stressed agricultural market. Moody's expects
growth to continue to be challenging with weak commodity prices
resulting in low farmer incomes, and thus restrained spending on
seeds, fertilizers and agricultural chemicals. The rating also
reflects the company's history of acquisitions and private equity
ownership, as well as pressure from uncontrollable forces like
weather and crop prices. However, Pinnacle's rating is supported by
modest sales improvement, its position as the sixth largest
agricultural input retailer, and continued initiatives to cut costs
and grow its higher-margin proprietary products.

The stable outlook reflects its expectations the company will
maintain adequate liquidity over the next 12 months despite weak
operating environment.

There is limited upside to the rating at this time. To achieve an
upgrade, the company needs to sustainably reduce debt-to-EBITDA to
below 7.0 times, to consistently generate positive free cash flow,
and improve its liquidity position with a plan to refinance its
2020 maturities.

The ratings could be downgraded if liquidity deteriorates and
EBITDA/Interest coverage falls below 1 times.

Moody's expects Pinnacle to maintain adequate liquidity over the
next 12-18 months. The company has limited cash on hand and relies
on second quarter earnings and its revolver to manage its
liquidity. The company's $397 million ABL revolver matures on
November 15, 2020. The company had $295 million of borrowings on
the revolver as of June 30, 2018 and $101.6 million of
availability. The revolver availability is subject to borrowing
base limitations. Given the seasonal nature of the business,
borrowings on the revolver tend to build through the first three
calendar quarters due to working capital needs and a fluctuation in
borrowing base. Borrowings decline in the fourth calendar quarter
when the bulk of cash collection occurs. However, the timing of
supplier payments and the receipt of cash from customers can
squeeze liquidity from September through November. Moody's would
expect the sponsor to provide additional liquidity should the
company need it. Pinnacle also utilizes two third parties to
finance trade receivables, in support for customer credit programs,
to fund its working capital.
While capital expenditures are low relative to sales, the company
has high interest burden and needs to generate at least $75 million
of EBITDA to cover cash interest and capex. The nearest maturity is
$27.7 million of second lien notes due in November 2020. The
company has no maintenance covenants, but the revolver has a
springing fixed charge covenant if excess availability falls below
10% of the commitment or $25 million. All assets are encumbered by
the secured credit facilities and notes, leaving no alternative
sources of liquidity.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Chemical
Industry published in January 2018.

Pinnacle Operating Corporation, formed in mid-2012 by the financial
sponsor, Apollo Global Management LLC, is an agricultural input
(seed, fertilizer, and crop protection chemicals) supply and
distribution business. Pinnacle has an extensive network of 155
retail locations and depots serving 27 states, but it is still
concentrated in the Southern United States. Revenues were $1.4
billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018.


PIONEER ENERGY: Provides Quarter Update and Revised Guidance
------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time, senior management of Pioneer Energy Services
meets with groups of investors and business analysts.  The Company
has prepared slides in connection with management's participation
in those meetings and participation in the 2018 Johnson Rice Energy
Conference.  The slides provide an update on the Company's
operations and certain recent developments, which among others,
include the following:

   * Recently extended four drilling contracts, all at higher
     dayrates.  Three of the rigs were each extended for one year,

     and one rig was extended for two years.

   * International drilling utilization estimated to be
     approximately 76% to 80% versus previous guidance of 85% to
     87% primarily due to higher than anticipated unpaid standby
     time and one rig released in mid-September due to a change in

     an operator's drilling program.  This rig is currently being
     bid to several operators for reactivation in the fourth
     quarter.

   * Production services revenues is estimated to be down 5% to 7%

     sequentially versus previous guidance of down 3% to 5%.  In
     addition, gross margin as a percentage of revenue is
     estimated to be approximately 21% to 23% versus previous
     guidance of 23% to 25%.  Both revenue and gross margin
     percentages are down due to softer than expected activity in
     wireline.

                           *    *    *

Moody's upgraded Pioneer Energy Services' Corporate Family Rating
to 'Caa2' from 'Caa3'.  Moody's said that Pioneer's 'Caa2' CFR
reflects the company's elevated debt balance pro forma for the $175
million senior secured term loan issuance.  While the company's
operating cash flow is expected to improve due to good demand for
its drilling rigs and equipment services, Pioneer Energy Services'
leverage metrics are weak, as reported by the TCR on Nov. 13, 2017.


POINT COM: $188K Sale of All Assets to TexHahn Approved
-------------------------------------------------------
Judge Tony M. Davis of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Texas authorized Point Com, LLC to consummate the sale
of substantially all assets to TexHahn Media, Inc., doing business
as Hahn Public Communications, or assignee for $187,601, less
TexHahn's good-faith deposit of $7,500.

A hearing on the Motion was held on Sept. 12, 2018.  A telephonic
hearing on Sept. 17, 2018 to resolve the issue between the Debtor
and the Buyer regarding various customer prepayment credits that
were not identified earlier in the due diligence process.

Upon the payment in full of the amounts stated, the conveyance of
the Assets by the Debtor to the Buyer will be free and clear of all
liens and other interests, as such liens and other interests now
attach to the assets being sold.

The Court approves the Debtor's assumption of the Executory
Contracts listed in Exhibit B and approves the Debtor's assignment
to the Buyer of all the Debtor's rights and interests in, to and
under such Executory Contracts, coupled with the Buyer's assumption
in the Purchase Agreement of the Debtor's obligations under such
Executory Contracts.

Furthermore, with respect to the specific contract in Exhibit B
described as "Website Development" with "National Instruments/Ettus
Research" between the Debtor and National Instruments Corporation
for itself or as successor in interest to Ettus Research, LLC, the
Debtor, the Buyer, and National Instruments acknowledge a
prepayment by National Instruments Corporation on such contract in
the amount of $43,924; and they agree and, accordingly, the Court
orders that the prepayment of $43,924 will be credited to that
contract by the Buyer.

Furthermore, with respect to the specific contract in Exhibit B
described as "Website Development" with "Open Compute" between the
Debtor and Open Compute, the Debtor and the Buyer acknowledge a
prepayment by Open Compute on such contract in the amount of
$15,399, and the Debtor and the Buyer agree and, accordingly, the
Court hereby orders that the prepayment of $15,399 will be credited
to that contract by the Buyer.

The Court approves the cure amounts listed in Exhibit 1 to the
Notice of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases Which May be
Assumed and Assigned, filed and served by the Debtor on Aug. 24,
2018, and notwithstanding any previous order of the Court
restricting the use of cash collateral in the case, the Court
orders the Debtor to pay from the proceeds at closing the amount
shown in the column titled "Cure Costs" in such Exhibit 1, unless
the Order specifies a different amount to be paid to any party to
any of the Executory Contracts.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Debtor is ordered to pay to Outserve.net, Inc.,
the sum of $15,037, which the Court finds is the appropriate cure
amount on Outserve's executory contract.

The Debtor is directed to pay from the closing proceeds, within 14
days of the closing or when due and payable without penalty,
whichever is later, the following: the balance remaining due on the
secured claim of Mantis Financial, which the Debtor has estimated
to be less than $1,000.00; any unpaid operating expenses of the
Debtor, including payroll and applicable payroll taxes, incurred
after the commencement of this case, except to the extent the
responsibility for payment of such expenses has been assumed by the
Buyer in the Purchase Agreement; any unpaid invoices owing to
independent contractors Motoza, LLC, and Z Factor Group, LLC (both
independent contractors of the Debtor, the contracts of which are
being assumed by the Buyer), to the extent such invoices are due on
or before the Closing Date (the combined amount of these invoices
is estimated by the Debtor to be $5,250), unless paid by the Debtor
out of its
available cash prior to closing; and sales and use taxes owing to
the State of Texas for August and September 2018, to be paid on or
before the applicable due dates for filing the sales tax returns
with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.

The Debtor will remain current on payment of required quarterly
fees provided for in 28 U.S.C. Section 1930(a)(6) and the Debtor is
authorized to pay such fees as they accrue out of the proceeds of
sale.

In as much as the Debtor and the Buyer represented to the Court at
the Sept. 17, 2018 hearing, that they are prepared to promptly
close the sale, the Debtor and the Buyer close the sale approved by
the Order within 24 hours of the entry of the Order.

Within three business days following the closing of the sale, the
Debtor's counsel, B. Weldon Ponder, Jr., will refund to the Buyer
the sum of $15,399 from the counsel's IOLTA to achieve the
reduction in purchase price approved by the Order, and will refund
to the Backup Bidder, PHP Alliance LLC, its $7,500 good faith
deposit previously tendered to the Debtor's counsel to support PHP
Alliance's bid in the case.

The Court waives the provisions of Rule 6004(h), Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure, with respect to orders authorizing the use,
sale or lease of property, and the 14-day stay period provided for
in Rule 6006(d), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, with respect to
orders authorizing the assignment executory contracts and unexpired
leases, and the provisions of the Order are not stayed for any
period.

requirement.  Assuming that during this extension period, the
closing bid price of the Company's common stock meets the
requirements of above $1.00 for the required minimum 10 consecutive
business days, and provided that the Company meets all the other
listing requirements, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written
confirmation that it is compliant with its listing requirements.

On March 26, 2018, Precipio received written notice from Nasdaq
indicating that, based on the closing bid price of the Company's
common stock for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the
Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price
requirement for continued listing.

RACKSPACE HOSTING: S&P Alters Outlook to Negative & Affirms B+ ICR
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on San Antonio, Texas-based
Rackspace Hosting Inc. to negative from stable. At the same time,
S&P affirmed the 'B+' issuer credit rating.

S&P said, "We also affirmed the 'BB-' issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured revolving credit facility and term loan.
The recovery rating remains '2', indicating our expectation for
substantial (70%-90%; rounded estimate: 80%) recovery for lenders
in the event of a payment default.

"In addition, we affirmed the 'B' issue-level rating on the
company's senior unsecured notes. The recovery rating remains '5',
indicating our expectation for modest (10%-30%; rounded estimate
15%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default."

The outlook revision reflects Rackspace's currently elevated
leverage of about 6.5x and limited FOCF to debt of around 3% (as of
June 30, 2018), both of which are weak for the current 'B+' rating.
S&P said, "Greater than expected open sales capacity, and in our
view, distractions from new management, have impaired new bookings
and churn following recent acquisitions. In addition, the delayed
closing of Rackspace's purchase of Datapipe deferred the
realization of synergies and led to higher integration costs in
2018 relative to our previous expectations. These challenges caused
us to lower our projected EBITDA in 2018 by about 17%, resulting in
leverage between 6.1x to 6.3x in 2018 (about 1x higher than we
previously expected). Still, we believe identified cost synergies,
coupled with increased demand for private, public, and hybrid cloud
solutions, could enable Rackspace to grow earnings, reduce
leverage, and improve FOCF over the next year."

The negative outlook reflects the possibility that leverage could
remain elevated at 6.5x if further execution missteps hamper its
ability to stabilize performance, realize identified cost
synergies, and improve FOCF.

S&P said, "We could lower the rating over the next year if ongoing
execution missteps cause operating performance to be weaker than we
currently expect, including higher churn and pricing pressure, and
synergies realization is delayed, preventing leverage from
improving below 6.5x and causing FOCF to debt to remain sustainably
below 5%. Alternatively, we could lower the rating if the company
pursues additional debt-funded acquisitions that prevent leverage
from improving below 6.5x on a sustained basis.

"We could revise the outlook to stable over the next year if the
company meets our base-case forecast by stabilizing revenue,
improving margins, and realizing synergies such that leverage
approaches 6x and FOCF to debt approaches 5%."



RELAY SHOE: Files Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation

RENNOVA HEALTH: CEO Lagan Talks with Uptick on Company's Progress
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rennova Health, Inc. releases a podcast of Seamus Lagan's interview
with Stock Day's Everett Jolly, discussing the Company's progress
as it comes to the end of the third quarter.

Mr. Jolly started by asking Mr. Lagan if Rennova would meet the
previously mentioned expectation of collecting $2 million a month
from current business by the end of this quarter.

Mr. Lagan answered saying, "I'm happy to report that we are right
there, we are on target.  Right now, we are collecting more cash
monthly than the company has achieved in almost 3 years.  I do
believe our recovery is well underway."

Mr. Jolly then pressed Mr. Lagan about plans for additional
acquisitions and if there would be any more hospitals acquired this
year.

Mr. Lagan indicated they are always looking at opportunities and
said, "because of the financial situation we have to balance the
capital needs of an acquisition with the benefits but we are
looking quite extensively at one situation that may be very
viable."  He continued with, "I just want to be clear that we do
not have any definitive agreement, if we do reach a definitive
agreement you'll be the first to know."  Mr. Lagan went on to note
that any new acquisition being considered would be close to the
existing Tennessee hospitals.

Mr. Jolly also brought up the plans for a reverse split on the
Company's shares.

"This is always a sensitive area for shareholders," explained Mr.
Lagan.  "We find ourselves in a position where we don't have a
choice with the current sub-cent share price."  He went on to
explain that the Company is starting to demonstrate in its filings
an uptick in business and that they want to be in the best position
for investors and shareholders to participate in the public market,
which is difficult and costly when a share price is below $0.01.

REVSPRING INC: S&P Assigns B- Issuer Credit Rating, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B-' issuer credit rating on
Empower Payments Acquisition Inc. (RevSpring Inc.) The outlook
remains stable.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'B-' issuer credit
rating to RevSpring Inc. The outlook is stable.

"Additionally, we assigned our 'B' issue-level rating and '2'
recovery rating to RevSpring's senior secured facility. The senior
secured facility comprises a $35 million revolving credit facility
due 2023 and a $365 million first-lien term loan due 2025. The '2'
recovery rating indicates our expectation for substantial recovery
(70%-90%; rounded estimate: 70%) in the event of a default.

"We also assigned our 'CCC' issue-level rating and '6' recovery
rating to RevSpring's $120 million second-lien term loan due 2026.
The '6' recovery rating indicates our expectation for negligible
recovery (0%-10%; rounded estimate: 0%) in the event of a default.

"The affirmation is based on our expectation that the acquisition
of Apex will elevate Empower's leverage over the next 12-18 months.
We anticipate that its leverage will decline to the low-10x area in
2019 (low-to-mid 7x area without the inclusion of preferred equity,
which we treat as debt) with the support of contributions from Apex
and operational efficiencies. We view the acquisition of the
higher-margin business as favorable because it will expand the
company's scale in the highly competitive health care end market.
Additionally, the affirmation reflects our expectation that
RevSpring will face minimal integration risk as it incorporates
Apex because there is little customer overlap and both companies
will maintain separate facilities.

"The stable outlook on RevSpring reflects our expectation that the
company's leverage will remain elevated for the next 12-18 months
before declining to the low-10x area (including preferred equity)
in 2019. This assumes that its operational efficiency from previous
platform investments, its scale-driven economics, and contributions
from its acquisitions will support EBITDA margin expansion and
deleveraging over the next year.

"We could lower our rating on RevSpring if the company
underperforms our projections because of customer losses, pricing
pressure, and higher operating costs such that its free cash flow
turns negative and we no longer view its capital structure as
sustainable. We could also lower the rating if the company's
covenant cushion falls to the high single digit percent area or
below.

"It is unlikely that we will raise our rating on RevSpring during
the next year due to its high pro forma leverage and our belief
that its private-equity ownership structure precludes sustained
leverage reduction. However, we could raise the rating over the
longer term if the company maintains a FFO cash interest coverage
ratio above the low 2x area while reducing its leverage below 7x
(including preferred equity) on a sustained basis."

----------------------------------------------------
Judge Kathryn C. Ferguson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey authorized Robert T. Winzinger, Inc.'s

full amount of the Escrow at Closing, the balance will be paid to
Investors Bank in equal monthly payments of $23,812 on or before
the 15th of each calendar month, beginning on the 15th of the
calendar month next following the Closing, until the Post Closing

interest at the default rate set forth in the Investors Bank loan
documents plus all attorneys' fees and related expenses incurred by

Balance upon completion of the Closing will not exceed $75,000.

SECOND PHOENIX: $7M Sale of New York Properties Approved
--------------------------------------------------------
Judge Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York authorized the bidding procedures of Second
Phoenix Holding, LLC and its affiliates in connection with the sale
of the real property located at (i) 212, 214 and 216 East 125th
Street, New York, New York to 212 East 125th Street, LLC for $10
million; and (i) 14 2nd Avenue, New York, New York to Station
Companies DV, LLC for $7 million.

The sale of the Second Avenue Property is free and clear of all
liens, claims, encumbrances and security interests, with such
liens, claims, encumbrances and security interests to attach to the
proceeds of sale.

The Debtors or any chapter 11 trustee, as applicable, is authorized
and directed to pay to SKW at Closing all amounts necessary to
satisfy the SKW Mortgage and the SKW Allowed Claim, including any
and all additional charges as allowable, and ordinary and
customary
closing costs including deed and transfer stamps and costs all as
approved by SKW.

An order approving the East 125th Street Property is being entered
simultaneously with the Order.  To the extent the closings on both
the Second Avenue Property and the East 125th Street Property do
not occur simultaneously, the proceeds of the sale of the first to
close of the Properties will not be able to satisfy in full the SKW
Allowed Claim and SKW Mortgage in which case SKW will only release
or partially assign the first to close of the Properties from its
lien and only reflect a partial paydown thereof.

The net proceeds of sale (after payment at Closing to SKW as set
forth herein and in the Settlement Agreement) will be held by the
counsel to the Debtors or any chapter 11 trustee, as applicable, in
a non-interest bearing attorney escrow account, with no
disbursements to be made therefrom other than upon further order of
the Court.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in section
363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, upon Closing and payment to SKW in
respect of the SKW Mortgage and SKW Allowed Claim, the Second
Avenue Property will be released from the SKW Mortgage and only to
the extent of the proceeds received at Closing from the sale of the
Second Avenue Property and the SKW Mortgage will remain as a valid
and enforceable mortgage lien against the East 125th Street
Property until fully satisfied.

The stay provided for in Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) will not apply to
the Order, and the Order is immediately effective and enforceable.

STARWOOD PROPERTY: Moody's Affirms B2 CFR & Alters Outlook to Pos.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Ba2 corporate family and Ba3
senior unsecured ratings of Starwood Property Trust, Inc. and
revised the outlook for the ratings to positive from stable.

Affirmations:

Issuer: Starwood Property Trust, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Ba2

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Affirmed Ba1

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debentures, Affirmed Ba3, Positive
From Stable

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Starwood Property Trust, Inc.

Outlook, Changed To Positive From Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

Moody's affirmed Starwood's ratings in consideration of Starwood's
strong franchise in commercial mortgage lending, investment
management, and CMBS special servicing as well as the diversity of
its revenues within the commercial real estate sector.
Additionally, Starwood generates strong profitability and maintains
a solid capital profile after adjusting for consolidated variable
interest entities (VIE) related to the company's CMBS investments,
which are comprised mainly of higher-risk deeply subordinated and
illiquid securities.

An additional credit strength is Starwood's affiliation with
Starwood Capital Group (SCG) through external manager SPT
Management, LLC (unrated). This arrangement provides Starwood with
an experienced management team and the ability to leverage SCG's
considerable expertise in commercial real estate and energy
investment and asset management.

Starwood has increased its funding diversity by issuing unsecured
debt to fund a portion of its operations, but the company continues
to have a higher reliance on secured debt than some lending peers,
a key rating constraint. After acquiring General Electric Company's
energy project finance business for $2.01 billion on September 19,
financed by cash and a $1.5 billion secured term loan, and based on
other liability management actions, Moody's estimates that
Starwood's ratio of secured debt to gross tangible assets increased
to about 52% from 46% on a pro forma basis at June 30. However,
Moody's expects that Starwood will continue to seek opportunities
to increase the proportion of unsecured debt in its capital
structure.

Moody's revised Starwood's rating outlook to positive to reflect
the company's growing revenue diversification and scale, including
through the growth of its whole property investments, which should
lead to less earnings and asset volatility. The addition of energy
project finance to the company's business lines should also enhance
earnings diversity and stability, based on the company's
expectations of an uneventful integration, performance uncorrelated
with the company's commercial real estate lending and investing,
and accretive operating results. Moody's also expects that Starwood
will continue to effectively manage liquidity and capital levels,
also contributing to operational and franchise stability. Other
supporting considerations include Starwood's continued favorable
credit performance and measured risk appetite, as well as its
profitability and leverage measures that compare well with
commercial real estate lender peers.

Moody's could upgrade Starwood's ratings if the company 1) further
diversifies its funding sources to include additional senior
unsecured debt, resulting in a ratio of secured debt to tangible
assets declining to not more than 45%; 2) maintains strong, stable
profitability and low credit losses; and 3) maintains a ratio of
adjusted debt to adjusted tangible equity of not more than 2.5x.
Ratings could be downgraded if the company encounters material
liquidity challenges, its leverage materially increases, growth
rapidly accelerates, or its profitability significantly weakens.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Finance
Companies published in December 2016.

Partners and Harry Davis, LLC.

The Debtors may sell the Property included in Exhibit A in

Industries Commercial Finance, and Multnomah County.

The Debtors will distribute the proceeds of the sale as follows:

     a. First, as to the collateral of Toyota described on Exhibit
B, to Toyota to pay the credit bid amounts set out on such exhibit

item;

     b. Then, as to the titled vehicles listed on Exhibit A, to the

SURVEYMONKEY INC: Moody's Affirms B3 CFR & Alters Outlook to Pos.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed SurveyMonkey Inc.'s corporate
family rating and first lien credit facility, which includes a $75
million revolver and a $300 million term loan B at B3. A Speculate
Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-3 was assigned as the company is now
public. The outlook was changed to positive from stable.

The change in the outlook to positive is due to the successful IPO
of the company and the anticipated paydown of $100 million of first
lien debt which will reduce leverage to 5.3x from 7.7x as of Q2
2018 (excluding Moody's standard lease adjustments) and lower
interest expense. Additional proceeds are expected to be used for
general corporate purposes including potential acquisitions. The
IPO will also provide its silicon valley based workforce with a
means to monetize its equity holdings after the expiration of the
lock up period and reduce the prospects that the company's balance
sheet would be used to provide liquidity to its employee
shareholders.

A summary of Moody's actions are as follows:

Issuer: SurveyMonkey Inc.

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-3

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B3

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Caa1-PD

$75 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2022,
Affirmed at B3 (LGD3)

$300 million Senior Secured Term loan B due 2024, Affirmed at B3
(LGD3)

Outlook, Changed to Positive from Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

SurveyMonkey's B3 CFR reflects its relatively small size and
concentration in a segment of the web-based survey market. Moody's
pro forma leverage for the expected $100 million debt repayment is
5.3x as of Q2 2018 (excluding Moody's standard lease adjustment)
and includes substantial stock compensation as an expense (pro
forma leverage would be 2.9x excluding stock compensation expense).
Some of the prior investments and expenses to increase growth and
diversify the service offering were not offset with comparable
levels of revenue. As a result, costs were reduced as the company
exited less profitable service offerings. More recently, the
company has invested substantially to enhance its service offering
and grown its sales and marketing efforts to expand its enterprise
customer base which Moody's projects will support growth going
forward. The company faces risk from competition from numerous
smaller competitors, and the potential for new technologies or
product offerings that could disrupt its business model. Technology
risk to the credit is magnified by the lack of product
diversification. SurveyMonkey has foreign currency risk exposure as
a portion of its cash flow is generated internationally while its
debt is denominated in USD. The company has achieved material
revenue growth over the past several years which Moody's expects to
continue, although Moody's projects increased growth related
expenses and higher stock compensation to weigh on EBITDA
performance. While the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) survey market segment
is modest in size with a vast number of small competitors,
SurveyMonkey has a strong position and Moody's believes it would be
difficult for an existing competitor to take material market share
from the company.

SurveyMonkey's liquidity is expected to be adequate as reflected in
its SGL-3 liquidity rating. The company has a $75 million revolver
due 2022 with $25 million drawn as of Q2 2018. The revolver balance
could be reduced if the company decides to direct a portion of the
debt repayment to the revolver. The credit agreement includes an
Excess Cash Flow sweep of 75% of cash flow (as defined) generated
by only the domestic subsidiary when the leverage ratio is above
4x. Moody's does not project an excess cash flow sweep will be
required in the near term. The company has the ability to issue $50
million of incremental term loan or an unlimited amount subject to
a first lien secured leverage covenant of 3.75x. The credit
agreement includes a maximum leverage ratio covenant of 5x for the
life of the loan and Moody's expects the company will maintain a
significant cushion of compliance following a $100 million
reduction in debt from IPO proceeds.

The positive rating outlook reflects the material reduction in
leverage and reduced interest expense following the expected debt
repayment. Moody's projects revenue will grow in the low teens
percentage range, but higher stock compensation and growth related
expenses will negatively impact EBITDA in the near term and lead to
higher leverage levels.

SurveyMonkey's small size, narrow product focus and technology
risks reduce upward rating pressure. Positive rating pressure could
develop if the company achieves leverage levels sustained below 6x
(as calculated by Moody's). A stable market position, positive
revenue and EBITDA growth, with stable EBITDA margins and a free
cash flow to debt percentage in the mid-single digits would also be
required.

A downgrade would occur due to overall weak operating performance,
lost market share, technological disruptions, debt funded
acquisitions or stock repurchases that weakened its liquidity
position. Elevated concern about the company's ability to service
its debt would also lead to negative rating pressure.

SurveyMonkey Inc. is an online survey company that became a public
company in September 2018. Revenue during the LTM was $234 million
as of Q2 2018. The company was founded in 1999.

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


TALLGRASS ENERGY: Moody's Retains Ba2 CFR Amid New Unsec. Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 rating to Tallgrass Energy
Partners, LP's proposed $400 million senior unsecured notes (the
New Notes) due 2023. TEP's other ratings, including its Ba2
Corporate Family Rating, Ba2-PD Probability of Default Rating
(PDR), SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating and stable outlook
are unchanged. The Ba3 rating on the existing $1.5 billion senior
unsecured notes is also unchanged. The New Notes are being offered
to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under the revolving
credit facility.

Assignments

Issuer: Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP

New Issuance: $400 million senior unsecured notes due 2023,
Assigned Ba3 (LGD5)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The company intends to use the net proceeds of the New Notes
issuance to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under the
revolving credit facility. Moody's views this transaction as credit
neutral as the overall debt burden of the company remains mostly
unchanged. Although TEP's outstanding balance under its revolving
credit facility is higher than Moody's projection, Moody's does not
believe this issue warrants a ratings change, given the incremental
EBITDA that TEP's growth projects are expected to yield.

The proposed $400 million New Notes are rated Ba3 together with the
$1.5 billion existing senior unsecured notes, one notch below the
Ba2 CFR, in accordance with Moody's Loss Given Default methodology,
reflecting the contractual subordination of the notes relative to
the company's $2.25 billion secured revolving credit facility due
June 2022 (unrated, approximately $1.5 billion outstanding as of
July 27, 2018), which is secured by substantially all the firm's
assets.

TEP's Ba2 CFR reflects its predominantly interstate pipeline asset
base with cash flow from firm transportation contracts and earnings
diversification between oil and natural gas transportation,
storage, water services and, gathering and processing. The Pony
Express Pipeline (PONY) positions itself as a competitive crude oil
transportation option for Bakken Shale, DJ Basin and Powder River
Basin (PRB) production as well as access to downstream refineries
and the Cushing oil storage hub. PONY's contract extension with
Continental Resources, Inc. (Ba2 positive) and other developments
such as construction of Iron Horse pipeline to transport crude oil
produced in PRB improve the prospects for PONY re-contracting its
capacity post-2020. TEP's ownership in REX adds to the EBITDA
stability given REX's contractual cash flow and access to natural
gas supply basins in the Rockies and Appalachian regions. TEP also
benefits from the proposed simplification of its corporate
structure by reducing complexity and potentially improving TEP's
cost of equity capital. In August 2018, Tallgrass Energy, LP's
(TGE) announced its plans to develop new Cushing to St. James crude
oil pipeline and Gulf Coast liquids terminal. The development of
these projects is likely to enhance TEP's service offering and
value proposition; however, the credit impact on TEP will depend on
the nature of financing of these new build projects.

TEP's rating is constrained by the reliance of PONY and REX on
primarily "supply-push" E&P customers and its structural
subordination to the debt outstanding at REX, its largest cash flow
contributor. There is also uncertainty around cash flow post 2020,
when a significant number of PONY's transportation contracts
expire. TEP's debt/EBITDA (inclusive of REX's pro-rata share and
Moody's standard adjustments) ranges from high 4x to low 5x from
2018-2019. If the post-2020 contractual cash flow risk is not
further mitigated, this ratio could increase above 5x post-2020 due
to the expiration of PONY's contracts.

TEP's stable outlook reflects Moody's view of TEP's ability to
recontract at least a portion of PONY's post-2020 uncontracted
capacity to help the company maintain its cash flows vis-a-vis its
debt burden.

Ratings could be upgraded if TEP reduces its debt to EBITDA ratio
below 4.5x and further mitigates its future cash flow risk by
re-contracting a significant portion of post-2020 capacity at PONY.


Ratings could be downgraded if TEP's debt to EBITDA ratio is
expected to rise above 5.5x or if there is significant
deterioration in customer credit quality.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Midstream
Energy published in May 2017.

TEP provides transportation, storage, terminal, water, gathering
and processing services for customers in the Rocky Mountain,
Appalachian and Midwest regions of the United States. TEP is 100%

relief from stay to pursue its state court remedies. Adequate
Protection payments in the amount of $650 will continue to the
earlier of date of settlement of sale by realtor or Order granting

Effective Date of the plan.

The funds to make the payments to the two creditors will come from

property of the Estate, excepting property which is to be sold or
otherwise disposed of as provided herein, executory contracts which
are rejected pursuant to the Plan and property transferred to

VICTORY CAPITAL: S&P Puts 'BB' ICR on CreditWatch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it placed its 'BB' issuer credit and
issue-level ratings on Victory Capital Holdings Inc. on CreditWatch
with negative implications. The recovery rating on the company's
first-lien facility remains '3', indicating meaningful (50%)
recovery prospects in the event of a default.

The CreditWatch action follows Victory's announcement that it has
entered into an agreement to acquire Harvest Volatility Management
LLC, an asset management firm that focuses on option-related
offerings such as yield enhancement overlay, risk reduction, and
alternative beta strategies. The transaction, valued at $300
million, is likely to close during the first quarter of 2019 and
will be funded with a combination of debt, stock, and existing
balance sheet cash.

S&P said, "The CreditWatch negative indicates that we could lower
the ratings on Victory upon the close of the transaction as a
result of higher leverage. We would likely lower the ratings by one
notch if leverage rises above 3.0x, assign a negative outlook if
leverage is close to 3.0x, or assign a stable outlook if leverage
remains comfortably below 3.0x. We expect to resolve the
CreditWatch listing once the transaction is consummated."

"Having known many of the Zolfo Cooper leaders for over 20 years, I
have had the opportunity to observe the exceptional quality of
their work.  Their skills and culture are an excellent fit with
AlixPartners and this transaction reflects our strategy of
identifying high-impact, tuck-in acquisitions which deliver our
clients immediate value while adding to our top quality talent
base.  As we continue to build our business by helping our clients
contend with the most complex of problems, we will continue to
identify and evaluate such opportunities across all areas of our
global business. In the meantime, I am delighted to welcome the
Zolfo Cooper team to AlixPartners."

Joff Mitchell, Managing Partner, Zolfo Cooper, added: "Joining
AlixPartners is a terrific event for those who matter most to our
firm, our clients and our people.  Bringing together two of the
most recognized players in our industry means that collectively we
will be able to offer our clients a broader and deeper range of
skills and experience than ever before.  For our people, joining

development opportunities available only at such a global and
multi-faceted organization.  We are exceptionally proud of what we
have achieved as a market-leading boutique business, and now look
forward to joining a larger organization with whom we have so much
in common."

"I am thrilled about what this transaction means for AlixPartners
and the TRS practice, and I am very much looking forward to seeing
the opportunities that it will create for both our people and our
clients," said Lisa Donahue, Global Leader of AlixPartners' TRS
Practice. "This is an exciting time in the history of the firm.

from her AlixPartners colleagues upon her formal induction on Sept.

Turnaround, Restructuring, and Distressed Industry Hall of Fame.  

Established by the TMA in 2008, the Hall of Fame's mission is "to
honor and preserve the names of those whose outstanding individual
contributions have increased the stature and respect of an industry
dedicated to stabilizing underperforming companies, rebuilding
corporate value, and retaining jobs."  The TMA bestows this honor
only once every five years, and only 20 other inductees preceded
this year's class of five.  

"On behalf of everyone at AlixPartners, I offer my warmest
congratulations to Lisa on this great honor," said Simon Freakley,
CEO of AlixPartners.  "One of the pioneers in the field of
turnaround and restructuring, including being one of the first
women to lead a global practice, Lisa is a leading light in her
field and this honor reinforces that.  She is also an inspiration
for others looking to follow in her footsteps in the very exciting
field of corporate renewal."

Ms. Donahue, who also sits on the Management Committee of
AlixPartners, joined the firm in 1998 and in her current position
oversees what is one of the largest corporate-transformation
practices in the world.  She was named to her current position in
2013 and has been a Managing Director at AlixPartners since 2001.
A recognized leader and mentor, Ms. Donahue is an expert at guiding

Chief Financial Officer of Atlantic Power Corp., where CEO Barry
Welch said of her in Treasury & Risk Magazine, "Lisa has stepped in
and owned the job as if she were a permanent hire.  She has
provided invaluable advice…during a time when we are growing and
transitioning into a larger, more diverse organization."   

From 2006 to 2008, she served as Executive Vice President and CFO
of Houston-based energy company Calpine Corp., after which
Financial Week dubbed Lisa a "turnaround artist," and in that same
article Calpine General Counsel Gregory Doody said of her, "It is
amazing to watch the things she can get accomplished while
maintaining a sense of humor."   

As versatile as she is deeply experienced, Ms. Donahue served as
CRO of SemGroup LP in 2008 and 2009, Chief Executive Officer of New
World Pasta Co. in 2004 and 2005, as CFO and CRO of battery-maker
Exide Technologies Inc. from 2001 through 2003, and, prior to that,

Hospitals, Health and People is an interesting and very readable
account of the career of a hospital administrator and physician
from the 1930's through the 1980's, the formative years of today's
health care system. Although much has changed in hospital
administration and health care since the book was first published
in 1987, Dr. Snoke's discussion of the evolution of the modern
hospital provides a unique and very valuable perspective for
readers who wish to better understand the forces at work in our
current health care system.

The first half of Hospitals, Health and People is devoted to the
functional parts of the hospital system, as observed by Dr. Snoke
between the late 1930's through 1969, when he served first as
assistant director of the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester,
New York, and then as the director of the Grace-New Haven Hospital
in Connecticut.  In these first chapters, Dr. Snoke examines the
evolution and institutionalization of a number of aspects of the
hospital system, including the financial and community
responsibilities of the hospital administrator, education and
training in hospital administration, the role of the governing
board of a hospital, the dynamics between the hospital
administrator and the medical staff, and the unique role of the
teaching hospital.

The importance of Hospitals, Health and People for today's readers
is due in large part to the author's pivotal role in creating the
modern-day hospital.  Dr. Snoke and others in similar positions
played a large part in advocating or forcing change in our hospital
system, particularly in recognizing the importance of the nursing
profession and the contributions of non-physician professionals,
such as psychologists, hearing and speech specialists, and social
workers, to the overall care of the patient.  Throughout the first
chapters, there are also many observations on the factors that are
contributing to today's cost of care.  Malpractice is just one
example.  According to Dr. Snoke, "malpractice premiums were
negligible in the 1950's and 1960's.  In 1970, Yale-New Haven's
annual malpractice premiums had mounted to about $150,000."  By the
time of the first publication of the book, the hospital's premiums
were costing about $10 million a year.

In the second half of Hospitals, Health and People, Dr. Snoke
addresses the national health care system as we've come to know it,
including insurance and cost containment; the role of the
government in health care; health care for the elderly; home health
care; and the changing role of ethics in health care.  It is
particularly interesting to note the role that Senator Wilbur Mills
from Arkansas played in the allocation of costs of hospital-based
specialty components under Part B rather than Part A of the
Medicare bill.  Dr. Snoke comments: "This was considered a great
victory by the hospital-based specialists.  I was disappointed
because I knew it would cause confusion in working relationships
between hospitals and specialists and among patients covered by
Medicare.  I was also concerned about potential cost increases.  My
fears were realized.  Not only have health costs increased in
certain areas more than anticipated, but confusion is rampant among
the elderly patients and their families, as well as in hospital
business offices and among physicians' secretaries."  This aspect
of Medicare caused such confusion that Congress amended Medicare in
1967 to provide that the professional components of radiological
and pathological in-hospital services be reimbursed as if they were
hospital services under Part A rather than part of the co-payment
provisions of Part B.

At the start of his book, Dr. Snoke refers to a small statue,
Discharged Cured, which was given to him in the late 1940's by a
fellow physician, Dr. Jack Masur.  Dr. Snoke explains the
significance the statue held for him throughout his professional
career by quoting from an article by Dr. Masur: "The whole question
of the responsibility of the physician, of the hospital, of the
health agency, brings vividly to mind a small statue which I saw a
great many years ago.it is a pathetic little figure of a man, coat
collar turned up and shoulders hunched against the chill winds,
clutching his belongings in a paper bag-shaking, tremulous,
discouraged.  He's clearly unfit for work-no employer would dare to
take a chance on hiring him.  You know that he will need much more
help before he can face the world with shoulders back and
confidence in himself.  The statuette epitomizes the task of
medical rehabilitation: to bridge the gap between the sick and a
job."

It is clear that Dr. Snoke devoted his life to exactly that
purpose.  Although there is much to criticize in our current
healthcare system, the wellness concept that we expect and accept
today as part of our medical care was almost nonexistent when Dr.
Snoke began his career in the 1930's.  Throughout his 50 years in
hospital administration, Dr. Snoke frequently had to focus on the
big picture and the bottom line.  He never forgot the importance of
Discharged Cured, however, and his book provides us with a great
appreciation of how compassionate administrators such as Dr. Snoke
have contributed to the state of patient care today.

Albert Waldo Snoke was director of the Grace-New Haven Hospital in
New Haven, Connecticut from 1946 until 1969.  In New Haven, Dr.
Snoke also taught hospital administration at Yale University and
oversaw the development of the Yale-New Haven Hospital, serving as
its executive director from 1965-1968.  From 1969-1973, Dr. Snoke
worked in Illinois as coordinator of health services in the Office
of the Governor and later as acting executive director of the
Illinois Comprehensive State Health Planning Agency. Dr. Snoke died
in April 1988.

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
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

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

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