ATLANTA METRO GREATER: May Use Cash Collateral to Fix Property
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Jeffery W. Cavender authorized Atlanta Metro Greater
Builders, LLC to use $6,410 of cash collateral to purchase
materials and pay contractors in order to secure its Merlendale
property and to address Code violations from the City of Sandy
Springs.  Access Investments, LLC and Anchor Assets XIV, LLC,
secured creditors and parties-in-interest to the cash collateral,
consent to such use of the cash collateral.   

The Debtor's business consists of developing residential
properties.  The Debtor currently has two properties under
development -- 2731 Ridgewood Road, Atlanta, GA 30327 and 4720
Merlendale Drive, Atlanta, GA 30327.  The Merlendale property was
cited by the City of Sandy Springs for violation of city Codes.
The Debtor requires the use of Cash Collateral in order to remedy
the Code violations and to otherwise secure the property.

In 2019, the Debtor executed a Promissory Note and a Construction
Deed to Secure Debt, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Fixture Filing
and Security Agreement in favor of Anchor Loans, LP in order to
acquire the Merlendale Property.  The Promissory Note and
Construction Deed was assigned to Access Investment, LLC, who may
have a security interest in Cash Collateral.

Anchor Assets IX, LLC is a successor in interest by assignment with
respect to the Debtor's Promissory Note and Construction Deed to
Secure Debt, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Fixture Filing and
Security Agreement encumbering the Debtor's Ridgewood Road
Property.  The Debtor executed the Note and Construction Deed in
favor of Anchor Loans, LP for a loan granted to acquire the
Ridgewood Road Property in 2018.  Anchor Loans, LP assigned the
Note and Construction Deed to Anchor Assets IX Holdco, LLC, who may
also have assigned the same to Anchor Assets IX, LLC.  Anchor
Assets IX, LLC may have thereafter assigned the Note and
Construction Deed to Respondent Anchor Assets XIV, LLC, the current
party-in-interest.

The Court ruled that, as adequate protection, Access Investments
and Anchor Assets XIV, LLC will be allowed replacement liens
against the property of the estate to the same extent, priority,
and validity as they each held before the Petition Date.

In the event the Debtor requires the use of more than $6,410 to
secure said property and address code violations from the City of
Sandy Springs, the Debtor may do so only upon the written consent
of the Respondents based upon written cost estimate, the Court
further ruled.

AVERY ASPHALT: Gets OK to Use Cash Collateral Thru August 31
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Michael E. Romero authorized Avery Asphalt, Inc. and its
affiliated debtors to use cash collateral for the period from July
1 through August 31, 2021, pursuant to the approved budget.  As
previously reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Sunflower
Bank; Greenline CDF Subfund XXIII LLC; the Colorado Department of
Revenue (CODOR); and Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company each
assert a valid, perfected security interests in substantially all
of the Debtor's personal property.

In consideration for the Debtors' use of the cash collateral, as
adequate protection for the Secured Parties' interest:

   a. Each of the Secured Parties are granted replacement liens and
security interest on the Debtor's post-petition assets with the
same priority and validity as Sunflower's, Greenline's, CODOR's and
Nationwide's pre-petition liens and security interests to the
extent of the Debtor's post-petition use of cash on hand and the
proceeds of Pre-Petition Personal Property, if any;

   b. Each of the Secured Parties shall be granted superpriority
administrative expense claims under Section 507(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, to the extent Adequate Protection Liens prove to
be insufficient, and only to the extent that such Secured Party has
a valid allowed secured claim under section 506(a) in the Cash
Collateral used;

   c. To the extent the Debtor receives any proceeds for contracts
on projects bonded by Nationwide, the Debtors shall segregate such
funds and shall hold them in trust, and use them only with the
written consent of the Secured Parties or pursuant to further Court
order;

   d. The Debtors shall maintain insurance coverage on the
Prepetition Personal Property and any real property for the full
replacement value of any such assets and shall cause Sunflower to
be named as a loss payee for the insurance policies; and

   e. The Debtors shall pay all post-petition federal and state
payroll, withholding, sales, use, personal property, real property,
and other taxes and assessments of any kind when due under
applicable law as provided in the budget.

Avery Asphalt and its affiliates sought protection under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Colo. Lead Case No.

receiver was appointed for all the Debtors in one state court case.
The receivership hampered Avery Asphalt's ability to operate

facilitate a better return to creditors than a receivership or
liquidation. The Debtors intend to streamline operations and sell
equipment and real estate that is no longer used by Avery Asphalt
in connection with a plan of reorganization.

In the petition signed by CEO Aaron Avery, the Debtors disclosed up

Law360 reports that the Boy Scouts of America objected Friday to a
request from its insurers to delay a hearing for consideration of

In their objection, the Boy Scouts said the insurers have had
access to the mediation sessions through which the settlement was
reached with victims and have already been granted an extension of
the deadline to file objections to the plan disclosure statement.

CASCADES INC: S&P Alters Outlook to Positive, Affirms 'BB-' ICR
---------------------------------------------------------------
On July 5, 2021, S&P Global Ratings revised the outlook on Cascades
Inc. to positive from stable and affirmed all its ratings,
including its 'BB-' long-term issuer credit rating, on the
company.

S&P said, "The positive outlook reflects our view of the likelihood
that we will upgrade the company within the next 12 months if we
expect Cascades will sustain leverage in or below the low-3x area.

"The outlook revision primarily reflects our expectation that
Cascades will generate stronger credit measures compared with our
previous estimates and commensurate with a higher rating.

"The company's sales, earnings, and margins have been trending
above our previous expectations, with prospective credit ratios we
view as strong for the rating. The improvement in Cascades'
operating results over the past year is underpinned by margin
expansion initiatives, modernization investments in the tissue
business, and favorable demand conditions in containerboard and
retail tissue markets. The company achieved a third consecutive
year of adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 13% in 2020, with
material free cash flow that contributed to lower adjusted debt and
adjusted debt to EBITDA (leverage) of 2.8x.

"We now forecast the company's adjusted leverage to remain near or
below 3x in 2021 and 2022, which is in line with our upgrade
trigger, and incorporates our positive view on packaging industry
demand fundamentals and continued efficiency gains. In addition, we
do not expect the company's planned sale of its stake in RDM Group
to increase leverage, with lower adjusted debt due to the cash
proceeds from the sale more than offsetting the reduction in
earnings. We expect favorable industry trends in containerboard,
continued focus on improving margins, and further rationalization
of the tissue business will lead to growth in pro forma earnings
over the next two years. We believe these factors will offset
inflationary pressures on costs and a pullback in retail tissue
sales following a year of exceptionally high pandemic-driven
demand.

"We expect the sale of the Europe Boxboard segment will bolster
cash available for debt repayment without weakening the company's
prospective credit risk profile.

On July 5, 2021, Cascades announced plans to sell its 57.6%
ownership stake in RDM for about C$461 million. The disposition
will result in the company's exit from the Europe Boxboard market,
which currently accounts for about 15% of Cascades' adjusted
EBITDA. S&P said, "We expect a portion of the sales proceeds will
be applied to debt repayment and offset the loss of RDM earnings on
estimated credit measures. In our view, gross debt reduction should
reduce the sensitivity of Cascades' credit measures to fluctuations
in prices and input costs, particularly historically volatile
recycled fiber costs."

S&P said, "We believe the company will maintain good scale and
diversity of operations following the sale, despite the reduction
to the size of Cascades' business and a slight loss of geographic
and product diversification. Pro forma the disposition, Cascades'
revenue base will decline about 20% and the company's operations
will be concentrated in North America. Nevertheless, we believe
Cascades' scale and breadth of operations, including 43 packaging
facilities and 17 tissue facilities, will remain comparable with
those of rated peers in the 'BB' category. In addition, we expect
the disposition to have a positive impact on profitability. Europe
Boxboard EBITDA margins were historically in the low teens, below
those of the North American packaging operations, which are close
to 20%. The North American operations' higher margins reflect lower
costs due to vertical integration (including a network of owned
recycling facilities) and historically stronger regional demand for
packaging products. We believe that, combined with the company's
focus on improving costs and modernizing assets, the disposition
will help mitigate Cascades' exposure to the current inflationary
cost environment."

Financial policies appear supportive, but a degree of uncertainty
remains.

S&P said, "We expect Cascades will generate sufficient cash flows
internally to fund its US$380 million Bear Island mill conversion
project. The project is a material undertaking of the company to
convert its Bear Island newsprint mill to produce high-quality,
low-basis-weight recycled containerboard and will contribute a 30%
increase in its containerboard production capacity. First
production is expected to come online in December 2022, ramping up
to full capacity by 2025. In the interim, we believe Cascades is
exposed to potential cost overrun risks and/or delays, with a
financial effect that could be exacerbated in the event of
weaker-than-expected earnings. In addition, the company has
historically been acquisitive, and future debt-funded acquisitions
could lead to weaker-than-expected credit measures. However, we
believe the company will continue to generate modest positive free
cash flow over the next two years despite elevated capital
expenditures (capex) for the project, which adds financial
flexibility. We also expect Cascades will manage discretionary
spending to an extent that keeps net debt to EBITDA at or below its
publicly stated threshold of 3.0x (based on reported debt, which is
slightly higher than our adjusted debt estimates). The company's
commitment to maintaining a conservative leverage profile is
evidenced by Cascades' use of C$125 million equity and free cash
flow, rather than debt, to finance the Bear Island project.
Moreover, Cascades' ample cash position, even after planned debt
repayment, provides an additional cushion to absorb unexpected
costs.

"We believe containerboard industry trends will remain favorable,
despite increasing competition from upcoming capacity supply
additions through 2022."

Robust demand for corrugated boxes has continued into 2021, aided
by e-commerce growth, the reopening of businesses, and increasing
manufacturing activity. As a result, benchmark corrugated medium
prices have trended positively, increasing 10% since the end of
2020. Weather-related supply constraints early in the year that led
to low inventories also contributed to the price appreciation. S&P
said, "We believe prices will remain elevated through the end of
2021, as strong demand continues as inventories are rebuilt. In
2022, we assume prices will remain favorable, albeit with a slight
downward trend, as large incoming capacity additions offset robust
demand. However, we acknowledge that material planned industry
capacity expansions could pressure prices to a greater degree than
we are forecasting, particularly if macroeconomic growth trends
below our assumptions."

S&P believes margin improvements will help mitigate the effect of
inflationary raw material costs.

An uptick in paper packaging production has contributed to higher
demand for recovered paper, putting upward pressure on recycled
fiber and virgin pulp costs this year. In particular, Cascades'
credit measures are very sensitive to fluctuations in old
corrugated container (OCC) prices. For instance, a US$15 per short
ton (/ST) change in the price of OCC (all else being equal) affects
EBITDA by about C$30 million in the company's North American
activities. To put this into context, OCC prices have fluctuated to
their current level of about US$120/ST from US$65/ST at the start
of 2021. The increase was partially the result of temporary factors
that have posed supply constraints in the OCC market, including
transportation issues stemming from pandemic-related labor
shortages, rising freight costs due to container shortages, and
winter storms in many regions in the U.S. As a result, S&P expects
input prices to subside slightly from current high levels but
remain elevated over our forecast in the low-US$100/ST area as
additional containerboard supply comes online.

Nevertheless, Cascades achieved a 100-basis-point (bps) improvement
in margins in 2020 resulting in C$75 million of incremental EBITDA,
tempering the impact of high OCC prices in 2021 and contributing to
our strengthened earnings forecast over the next two years. The
company is targeting to further increase EBITDA margins by 200 bps
by the end of 2022, with initiatives focused on optimizing the
supply chain, improving product mix, and increasing productivity of
assets. Cascades' continued investment in improving margins should
help mitigate the sensitivity of the company's credit measures to
historically volatile selling prices, input costs (namely OCC), and
foreign currency rates--particularly in the current rising-cost
environment.

S&P said, "The positive outlook reflects our expectation that, over
the next 12 months, Cascades will sustain improvements in the
credit measures it achieved in 2020, supported by debt reduction,
continued demand growth in containerboard markets, and recent
margin improvement initiatives. We estimate that the company will
generate adjusted debt to EBITDA in the low-2x area in 2021 and
close to 3x in 2022.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if we expect Cascades will
generate an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio in the mid-3x area or
higher on a sustained basis. This could occur if EBITDA and cash
flow generation come under pressure from increased input costs or
lower selling prices. Leverage could also increase above our
threshold if capex increase beyond our expectations or the company
raises debt to fund acquisitions.

"We could upgrade Cascades within the next 12 months if continued
strength in the company's operating performance and lower adjusted
debt resulted in our expectation that adjusted debt to EBITDA will
be sustained at a level approaching 3x or lower over the long term.
In this scenario, we would expect prices, input costs, and capex to
remain about in line with our assumptions."



CF&G ENTERPRISES: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
----------------------------------------------
CF&G Enterprises, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, for authority to

The Debtor requires the use of cash collateral to pay operating
expenses including, but not limited to, the insurance and property

or (iii) the Debtors' violation of the terms of the Interim Order,
including failure to comply with the Budget.

all tangible and intangible personal property, including but not
limited to, goods, fixtures, chattel paper, documents, equipment,
instruments and inventory wherever located belonging to Debtor, to
the extent and validity of those liens that existed pre-petition.

On the Petition Date, the Debtor estimated $100,000 to $500,000 in
assets and $1,000,000 to $10,000,000 in liabilities.  The petition
was signed by Brock Flagstad, managing member.

Crane, Simon, Clar & Goodman is the Debtor's counsel.  Judge
Lashonda A. Hunt is assigned to the case.  Matthew Brash serves as
the Debtor's Subchapter V Trustee.   




CHANNEL CLARITY: Seeks Access to 'Frozen' Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------
Channel Clarity Holdings LLC asked the Bankruptcy Court for
authority to use certain cash and cash equivalents that purportedly
serve as collateral for claims asserted against the Debtor and its
property by Brock Flagstad, the Debtor's managing member, and Kasey
Klaas, a creditor who served citations to the Debtor's depository
banks and customers.  The Debtor is seeking to use the cash
collateral on an interim basis pending a final hearing on the
motion.

The Debtor also asked the Court to authorize Wintrust Bank and
Huntington Bank, its depository banks, to release any "holds" or
"freezes" as a result of the service of third-party citations by
Klaas.  Moreover, the Debtor requested permission from the Court to
notify customers who have been served with the third-party
citations so that they may release any funds held for the Debtor's
benefit which have been held pursuant to the citations.

Klaas sued the Debtor in the Circuit Court of Cook County for an
alleged claim by Klaas against the Debtor for buyout of equity. A
judgment amounting to $1.8 million was entered against the Debtor
in favor of Klaas on May 7, 2021.  On May 12, Klaas caused
citations to discover assets to be issued to third parties,
including Wintrust Bank and Huntington Bank.  The Debtor believes
that the Bank Accounts collectively hold approximately $200,000.
Klaas also served third party citations to the Debtor's customers:
Indeed Inc.; Appcaset Inc.; Globalwide Media Inc.; C3 Data LLC;
Media.net; Adsurf LLC; Fluent Inc.; Zeta Global Corporation;
Upward.net; B2 Direct; BW Ventures LLC; Digital Media Solutions;
and Popular Marketing LLC.  These events paved the way for the
Debtor's Chapter 11 filing.

Flagstad asserts a security interest in cash and cash equivalents
based upon loan documents, including a promissory note, a security
agreement and UCC Financing Statement dated May 10, 2021.  Upon
information and belief, Klaas asserts a security interest in the
cash held at Wintrust Bank and Huntington Bank.  Klaas may also
assert a secured position against receivables owed by the
Customers.  Klaas' purported creditor position, which arose within
90 days of the Petition Date, may be subject to avoidance pursuant
to Section
547 of the Bankruptcy Code.  

As adequate protection for the use of the cash collateral, the
Debtor proposed to, among others:

  a. grant replacement liens to Flagstad and Klaas to the extent of
each of their pre-petition lien, if any, which liens attach to the
same assets of the Debtor in which Flagstad and Klaas asserted
pre-petition liens; and

  b. maintain and pay premiums to insure the assets.

The Debtor needs the cash collateral to pay the actual, necessary
and ordinary expenses to maintain its business.

The budget filed in Court provided for weekly disbursements as
follows:

     $6,987 for the week beginning July 5, 2021;

    $14,834 for the week beginning July 12, 2021;

COGECO COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Affirms B1 CFR on WideOpenWest Deal
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed all of Cogeco Communications
(USA) Inc.'s ratings, including the B1 Corporate Family Rating and
B1-PD Probability of Default Rating, as well as the B1 Senior
Secured Credit Facility rating at Cogeco Communications Finance
(USA), LP. The outlook remains stable.

Affirmations:

Issuer: Cogeco Communications (USA) Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B1

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed B1-PD

Issuer: Cogeco Communications Finance (USA), LP

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Affirmed B1 (LGD4)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Cogeco Communications (USA) Inc.

Outlook, Remains Stable

On June 30, 2021, WOW! Internet, Cable & Phone (an operating
subsidiary of WideOpenWest Finance, LLC, WOW, and wholly owned by
the ultimate parent WideOpenWest, Inc.) announced[1] its plan to
sell five service areas in two separate transactions totaling
$1.786 billion. It will sell its Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio,
service areas to Atlantic Broadband, a subsidiary of Cogeco , whose
ultimate parent is Cogeco Communications Inc. (TSE: CCA), for
$1.125 billion.

Moody's views the transaction as credit negative but the company
has bandwidth within the B1 CFR to support the increase in
leverage. The assets acquired are in overbuilt markets primarily
defended by the incumbent, Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter
Ba2, stable). While the assets will contribute some scale, and
broaden the Company's reach, they will also be acquired at a high
price and mostly debt financed, driving leverage higher. The
Company said they plan fund the acquisition with cash and US$900
million in secured debt at the Atlantic Broadband level. The
estimated purchase multiple of approximately 9.6x pro forma
adjusted EBITDA for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2021
(inclusive of step-up tax benefits (with a present value of
approximately US$140 million) and run-rate annual synergies of $2
million) implies an EBITDA contribution of about $103 million. This
would be approximately 20% of pro forma combined EBITDA (Moody's
adjusted) and implies a leverage ratio of approximately 5.3x --
well inside Moody's tolerances.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Cogeco's credit profile is supported by a very competitive,
fiber-rich, high speed network that is generating strong broadband
demand (high-speed data or HSD) and subscriber growth. High
broadband margins are helping to effectively offset the lower
margin video business which is in decline. This balance, coupled
with good in-market demographics, produces strong operating metrics
including rising EBITDA margins in the mid 40% range, and EBITDA to
Homes Passed greater than $400 and rising to over $425 (before the
pending acquisition). Support from its much larger investment grade
parent and another cash-rich equity partner are also positive
credit factors, as is the Company's very good liquidity profile.
The primary rating constraints include the Company's relatively
small scale (one of the smallest US rated cable companies with over
$1 billion in revenue, including this transaction), declining video
business, and a less than conservative financial policy that
periodically tolerates elevated leverage when executing M&A
transactions.

Cogeco has a very good liquidity profile supported by solid free
cash flow generation, a fully undrawn $150 million revolver, and
covenant-lite loans with substantial cushion. The Company also
benefits from a favorable maturity profile with its revolver not
maturing until 2024, and the term loan in 2025. Alternate liquidity
is limited with a fully secured capital structure, however. The
company's liquidity profile may be affected by the debt incurred
and cash used to finance the acquisition.

The instrument ratings reflect the probability of default of the
Company, as reflected in the B1-PD Probability of Default Rating,
an average expected family recovery rate of 50% at default given
the covenant-lite nature of the secured debt, and the particular
instruments' ranking in the capital structure. The secured credit
facility is rated B1 (LGD4), the same as the CFR, with no
significant rated junior debt to provide additional lift.

Cogeco is an indirect, 79% owned subsidiary of Cogeco
Communications Inc., a publicly traded Canadian communications
infrastructure company based in Montreal, Québec rated investment
grade (Baa3 equivalent) by other credit rating agencies. Cogeco
Communications Inc. provides cable services to residential and
commercial customers in Ontario and Québec. LTM revenues of the
parent at February 28, 2021 were approximately CND $2.46 billion,
with Cogeco Communications USA, Inc. accounting for nearly 46% of
total consolidated revenue. However, the Canadian broadband segment
is the largest operating subsidiary. This relationship provides
certain benefits including management expertise and oversight, and
greater equipment purchasing power which is handled by the parent.
Specifically, Cogeco benefits from shared services including,
procurement, HR, IT, insurance, and other resources shared with the
parent. Beyond these benefits, Moody's believe there are few
synergies given the different geographic footprints. However, the
strong credit profile of the communication segment and its
relatively low leverage target, coupled with Cogeco being the
largest operating subsidiary, requires Cogeco to maintain financial
policies that will not jeopardize the credit profile of the parent
company. Moody's believe this constraint on Cogeco (Moody's rated
US operating subsidiary) implies the Company must maintain a
leverage ratio at or below 6x (gross, as reported) based on
management's guidance. Moody's believe Moody's adjusted ratio is
very close to the as-reported calculations. Historically,
management has executed a disciplined M&A growth strategy that
tolerated elevated leverage for a temporary period and distributes
limited to no distributions (upstream dividends to the parent would
not be tax efficient).

Outlook

The stable outlook incorporates Moody's view that the company will
grow revenues and EBITDA, maintain strong and rising EBITDA margins
in the mid-40% range, and positive and rising free cash flow.
Moody's expect capital expenditures to average low twenties percent
of revenue pro forma for the transaction and cost of debt to
average near 3.0% as reported. Moody's project leverage to rise by
about 1.2x at the close of the acquisition of the WOW assets, with
about .5x annual deleveraging possible thereafter. Moody's outlook
assumes video subscribers losses accelerating from low single-digit
percentage to at least mid-single-digit, and growth in broadband
subscribers of at least mid-single digit percent range. Moody's
expect this dynamic to yield slowing revenue growth, falling to the
low to mid-single digit percent range but generate better EBITDA
margins. Moody's expects liquidity to remain very good.

Note: all figures are Moody's adjusted projection over the next
12-18 unless otherwise noted.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS

Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade

Moody's could consider a positive rating action if Leverage
(Moody's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA) is sustained below 4x times, and
Free cash flow to debt (Moody's adjusted) is sustained high
single-digit percent. A positive rating action could also be
considered with growth in the scale and or diversity of the
business, greater stability in the video business, and or more
conservative financial policy.

Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade

Moody's could consider a negative rating action if Leverage
(Moody's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA) is sustained above 5.5x, or Free
cash flow to debt (Moody's adjusted) is sustained below 5%. A
negative rating action could also be considered if liquidity
deteriorated, company scale declined, financial policy turned more
aggressive, or there was a material change in the operating trends
or position of the broadband business. Method

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Pay TV
published in December 2018.

Headquartered in Quincy, Massachusetts, Cogeco Communications (USA)
Inc., doing business as Atlantic Broadband, is a private company
currently serving approximately 973 primary service units (314
thousand basic video, 511 thousand high speed data and 148 thousand
phone) across 11 states including Western Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, Florida, Eastern Connecticut, New York, West Virginia,
South Carolina, Maine, New Hampshire, and Virginia. The company is
an operating subsidiary, and majority owned and controlled by
Cogeco Communications Inc, a public company in Canada. Caisse de
depot et placement du Quebec ("CDPQ") holds a 21% minority
interest. Revenue for the last twelve months ended February 28,
2021 was approximately $853 million.


COLONIAL GATE: Wins 60-Day Access to Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
Judge Sean H. Lane authorized Colonial Gate Gardens LLC to use cash
collateral pursuant to the budget, in an amount up to $209,036,
until the earliest of (i) the date that is 60 days after the
Petition Date; (ii) entry of a final order or a further interim
order granting the Debtor continued access to cash collateral; or
(iii) the occurrence of a Termination Event.

Each of the following shall constitute a Termination Event:

   * The Chapter 11 case has been dismissed or converted to a
Chapter 7 case under the Bankruptcy Code, or there shall have been
appointed in the Chapter 11 case, a trustee or an examiner with
expanded powers beyond the authority to investigate particular
activities of the Debtor;

   * The Debtor files a motion seeking to modify, vacate, stay,
supplement or amend the terms of this Interim Order without the
prior written consent of any Secured Party;

   * The Interim Order is modified, vacated, stayed, supplemented,
reversed, or is for any reason not binding on the Debtor, without
the prior written consent of a Secured Party;

   * The Debtor fails to perform, in any material respect, any of
the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants, or obligation under
the Interim Order;

   * The Debtor expends more than 110% of the Budget, unless caused
by an increase in business by the Debtor; and

   * There is at any time a material inaccuracy in any financial
report or certification provided by the Debtor to Wilmington.

Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee for the Benefit
of the Holders of Corevest American Finance 2017-1 Trust Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, has an alleged first priority mortgage
on the Properties as well as a first lien on the Cash Collateral.
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the Properties
consist of single-family houses and condominium units throughout
Orange, Rockland and Ulster Counties in New York, and are
encumbered by Wilmington's blanket first mortgage.  Wilmington
asserts that it is owed approximately $4,900,000 on the mortgage.

Accordingly, the Court ruled that as adequate protection for any
diminution in the value of Wilmington's interest in its collateral,
Wilmington shall receive (i) replacement liens on all property of
the Debtor and its estate and (ii) adequate protection to the
extent required by the pre-petition loan documents to the same
extent and validity as its pre-petition liens.  The Debtor will
also make adequate protection payments to Wilmington at the
non-default contract rate amounting to $20,892 pursuant to
pre-petition loan documents.  

The Adequate Protection Liens shall be subject to the Carve out
consisting of (i) payment of fees due to the Office of the United
States Trustee; and (iii) amounts allowed by the Court as fees and
expenses of a trustee appointed under Section 726(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code for up to $7,500.

The Court ruled that since the Debtor's case is a single asset real
estate case under the Code, the Debtor will retain all rents
received, and expend funds only for the expenditure of necessary
maintenance and repairs to the premises.  

A copy of the order is available for free at https://bit.ly/36hIO1q
from PacerMonitor.com.

A hearing to consider entry of a final order is set for September
9, 2021 at 10 a.m. by Teleconference.  Objections must be filed so
as to be received no later than 4 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on
August 30.

DIAMOND SPORTS: Moody's Lowers CFR to Caa2 on Weak Liquidity
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Diamond Sports Group, LLC's
corporate family rating to Caa2 from B3, probability of default
rating to Caa2-PD from B3-PD, ratings on the company's senior
secured credit facility and senior secured notes to Caa1 from B2
and Diamond's senior unsecured rating to Ca from Caa2. Moody's also
downgraded Diamond's speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-4
from SGL-3. The outlook is negative.

The rating action reflects Moody's views that the company's current
capital structure appears unsustainable given very high leverage
and weak liquidity. The company's announcement [1] that it had
engaged in discussions with its lenders regarding a debt exchange
evidences the potential for a transaction that would, under Moody's
methodology, be considered a distressed exchange.

Downgrades:

Issuer: Diamond Sports Group, LLC

Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Caa2 from B3

Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to Caa2-PD from B3-PD

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Downgraded to SGL-4 from
SGL-3

Gtd Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Downgraded to Caa1 (LGD3)
from B2 (LGD3)

Gtd Senior Secured Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to Caa1
(LGD3) from B2 (LGD3)

Gtd Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debentur, Downgraded to Ca
(LGD6) from Caa2 (LGD6)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Diamond Sports Group, LLC

Outlook, Remains Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Caa2 CFR reflects Diamond's very high leverage and weak
liquidity. Even assuming the higher end of the company's recent
EBITDA guidance (which includes assumptions around the renewal of
distributor contracts) Moody's adjusted leverage will exceed 10x
through 2022. Dish has not been carrying the RSNs since 2019 and
Hulu and YouTube TV did not renew carriage at the end of 2020. In
addition, distribution revenues are facing headwinds from
accelerated cord cutting and subscriber declines.

Diamond's liquidity profile is weak, mostly supported by a $418
million of cash at the end of Q1 2021 and access to 35% (restricted
by a 6.25x springing covenant the company would not be in
compliance with) of its $650 million revolving credit facility
which Moody's expect is likely to be utilized in the coming 18
months. Moody's believes that there is a high likelihood of a
liquidity shortfall in the second half of 2022 should the company
only achieve the low end of its 2021 and 2022 guidance.

The rating continues to be supported by Diamond's position as the
largest holder of RSNs, with 15 sports networks all carrying at
least one basketball, one hockey and one baseball team. In 2020,
sporting events were significantly affected by the pandemic given
widespread mandates restricting crowd gatherings. Heavily reduced
sports seasons gave distributors more ease in not renewing their
RSN carriage agreements and at the end of 2020 both Hulu and
YouTube TV announced they would stop carrying Diamond's RSNs. The
US vaccine rollout is allowing for far more normalized sports
seasons in 2021. Despite that, Diamond's EBITDA guidance has not
improved and the company recently provided a 2022 EBITDA guidance
of $310 to $740 million indicating a high uncertainty over future
distribution renewals and the timing of these through 2021.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's concerns over the long-term
sustainability of the company's current capital structure and the
increased risk of a default or a distressed exchange.

The Caa1 (LGD3) rating on the company's senior secured credit
facilities and senior secured notes reflects their first priority
ranking ahead of the company's senior unsecured notes rated Ca
(LGD6). The ratings on the debt instruments reflect the probability
of default of the company, as reflected in the Caa2-PD PDR, an
average family recovery rate of 50% at default given the mix of
secured and unsecured debt in the capital structure, and the
particular instruments' rankings in the capital structure.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS

The ratings could be upgraded with a meaningful improvement in
operating performance, liquidity and in Moody's assessment of the
sustainability of the capital structure.

Further downward pressure on the ratings could ensue should
operating performance or liquidity continue to weaken or should
Moody's assessment of the likelihood of a default increase.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Media published
in June 2021.

Headquartered in Hunt Valley, MD, Diamond Sports Group, LLC was
formed on March 11, 2019 and is the entity through which Sinclair
Broadcast Group, Inc. ("SBGI") executed the acquisition of the
RSNs. Diamond owns and operates 22 RSNs that broadcast NBA, NHL and
MLB games on pay-TV platforms.


DISCOVERY DAY: Second Amended Plan Confirmed by Judge
-----------------------------------------------------
Judge Caryl E. Delano has entered findings of fact, conclusions of
law and order confirming the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization
of Debtor Discovery Day Academy II, Inc.

At the Confirmation Hearing, the following modifications were made
to the Debtor's Plan, in open Court:

     * The definition of "Allowed First Position Secured Claim of
Bank OZK" is modified to read: "The Allowed First Position Secured
Claim of Bank OZK in the amount of $3,736,688.34 means that portion
of Bank OZK's Claim that has not been subordinated to the Allowed
Secured Claim of the SBA. "

     * The treatment of Class 2 is modified as follows: The Allowed
Secured Claim of the SBA will be paid from the net proceeds of the
Sale, up to the value of the SBA's second priority lien after
payment in full of Class 1 Claims. To the extent there are
sufficient funds to pay the Allowed Secured Claim of the SBA in
full, the SBA shall be entitled to unpaid, and accrued post
petition interest on account of such claim. The SBA shall retain
its lien to the same extent and priority on all property not sold.

     * The treatment of Class 4 is modified as follows: After
payment of Class 1 and Class 2 in full, any remaining funds (it is
not contemplated that such funds will exist) will be used to pay
the Unsecured SBA Claim. To the extent there are insufficient funds
to pay the Unsecured SBA Claim, the Unsecured SBA Claim will  not
be paid through the Plan. The SBA retains its rights in full
against all non-debtors.

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtor, the SBA, and Bank OZK
announced a global resolution (the "Resolution"), to permit the
consensual confirmation of the Debtor's Plan. The Resolution
provides that the following are to be paid from the Sale Proceeds:
the Class 1 Claim of Bank OZK, the Class 2 Claim of the SBA, any
outstanding property taxes for the Property, and any fees owed to
the United States Trustee.

The payment of the Commission to the Debtor's Broker, and the
Broker's sharing of the Commission with the co-broker identified in
the Declaration of Premier Commercial, Inc., is approved, so long
as the Sale to the Winning Bidder closes by July 19, 2021.

FRONTIER COMMS: Sued by Movie Studios for Copyright Infringement
----------------------------------------------------------------
Leslie A. Pappas of Bloomberg Law reports that a group of movie
studios accusing Frontier Communications Corp. of turning a blind
eye to "massive piracy of motion pictures" costing them $14 million
in revenues is asking a federal district court, rather than a
bankruptcy court, to take their case.

About 50 movie producers, including Rambo V Productions Inc.,
American Cinema International, and Fallen Productions Inc., on
Thursday asked that their copyright infringement claims be
withdrawn from bankruptcy court because they involve "the
significant interpretation of non-bankruptcy issues."

The producers say they hired German copyright enforcement company
Maverickeye UG to monitor networks for unauthorized distribution of
their motion pictures.

Daniel Gill of Bloomberg Law reports that a lender of bankrupt

GOLF TAILOR: Unsecured Creditors Will Get 6.25% Dividend in Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Golf Tailor, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas a Disclosure Statement for Plan of
Reorganization dated July 1, 2021.

Class 2 consists of the Allowed Secured Claims of American Express.
Class 2 Claim(s) shall be treated as secured claim up to the
allowed amount of such claim. Debtor estimates the allowed secured
claim of American Express at zero. Upon information and belief,
American Express does not have a lien or security interest in any
of the Debtor's assets, and American Express is not a judgment
creditor of the Debtor. In the event American Express is determined
to hold an allowed unsecured claim, American Express will be
treated and paid in accordance with other unsecured creditors as
set forth in Class 5. Upon Confirmation, American Express shall
promptly release its UCC filing against the Debtor.

Class 3 consists of the Allowed Secured Claims of Clear Finance
Technology Corporation/CT Corporation Systems ("CFT"). Class 3
Claim(s) shall be treated as secured claim(s) up to the allowed
amount of such claim(s). The estimated Class 3 Claim is $198,706.80
based upon the value of the Debtor's accounts receivable at the
time of Debtor's bankruptcy filing. The monthly payment to CFT will
be approximately $3,592.62 per month. All remaining amounts due and
owing to CFT will be treated and paid in accordance with general
unsecured creditors as set forth in Class 5.

Class 4 consists of the Allowed Secured Claims of Corporate Disk
Company. Class 4 Claim shall be treated as secured claim(s) up to
the allowed amount of such claim(s). The estimated Class 4 Claim is
$175,000.00 based upon the value of the inventory in the possession
of Corporate Disk Company at the time of Debtor's bankruptcy
filing. The allowed Class 4 claim will be paid over a 60 month
period. The monthly payment to Corporate Disk Company will be
approximately $3,164.00 per month. All remaining amounts due and
owing to Corporate Disk shall be treated and paid in accordance
with general unsecured creditors as set forth in Class 5.

A Class 5 Claimant holding an Allowed Unsecured Claim shall be paid
a pro rata share of $800,000.00 over 60 months from the Effective
date of the confirmed Plan. The first payment to Class 5 Claimants
will be the claimant's pro rata share of the monthly payment of
$13,333.33 designated for allowed unsecured claims. Monthly
payments on allowed unsecured claims will continue each month for
60 months, and allowed unsecured claimants will continue to receive
their pro rata portion of the $13,333.33 monthly payment for 60
months.

At the time of the filing of Debtor's Plan, Debtor's bankruptcy
schedules reflected a total of $12,778,811.24 in general unsecured
claims. Debtor estimates the dividend to unsecured creditors to be
approximately 6.25% of each creditor's allowed unsecured claim. The
Class 5 claims are impaired.

The pre-petition interests in the Debtor shall be cancelled. The
Debtor shall issue a new equivalent unit of ownership in the
Reorganized Debtor to the current members of the Debtor in the same
amount and percentage as each member previously owned prior to the
bankruptcy filing. In exchange for the issuance of the new
equivalent unit of ownership, Tim Oyler and Michael Rhine will
together contribute a total of $25,000.00 in new value to the
Reorganized Debtor. Mr. Oyler and Mr. Rhine currently own an 80%
equity interest in the Debtor (40% and 40% respectively) and will
own an 80% equity interest in the Reorganized Debtor (40% and 40%
respectively) unless a bid is placed in excess of the $25,000.00
new value offer.

Debtor's financial projections show that Debtor estimates it will
generate net income of $57,250.00 over the next 12 months after the
payment of all Plan payments. For each year thereafter, Debtor
estimates it will net sufficient income to allow for a continued
and successful operation of the business as a going concern as well
as a small equity cushion. These figure along with the new value
contribution from Mr. Oyler and Mr. Rhine will provide sufficient
income to pay the proposed monthly plan payments of approximately
$20,089.95 per month in order to fund the Debtor's Plan.

HERTZ GLOBAL: Faces Bondholder Suit, Volatile Trading After Ch. 11
------------------------------------------------------------------
Alexander Gladstone, Akane Otani and Caitlin McCabe of The Wall
Street Journal report that Hertz Global Holdings Inc. shares swung
wildly in the over-the-counter market after the rental-car company
formally emerged from bankruptcy and was swiftly sued by
bondholders demanding $272 million in premium payments.

Hertz shares resumed trading Thursday, July 1, 2021, under a new
ticker, HTZZ, beginning the session at around $22 before climbing
as high as $33.80.  They erased most of those gains within the
first half-hour of trading and were above $26 a share in afternoon
trading.

Thursday's, July 1, 2021 trading action marks the latest bout of
volatility for Hertz, a stock once known as a darling among
individual investors who frequented online forums like Reddit's
WallStreetBets.  Hertz left chapter 11 on Wednesday, emerging from
court protection and naming new directors.

The bankruptcy deal that lifted Hertz out of chapter 11 supplied
shareholders with a handsome payout of cash, shares and warrants.
Some bondholders bought equity in a bankruptcy rights offering,
becoming part-owners of the restructured business. Others that
didn’t filed court papers Wednesday demanding premium payments
they said they were due.

The lawsuit, filed by Wells Fargo Bank NA on behalf of bondholders
it represents, said that Hertz owes make-whole payments—premiums
that must be paid under some borrowing arrangements when bonds are
retired before their maturity date. Make-whole provisions can be
triggered when debt is redeemed or refinanced, requiring that
creditors be compensated for the interest they would otherwise have
received.

HERTZ GLOBAL: Sued by Wells Fargo on Ch.11 Early Note Payoff Charge
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that Wells Fargo Bank NA sued Hertz Global on
Thursday, July 1, 2021, in Delaware bankruptcy court, saying the
reorganized debtor's confirmed Chapter 11 plan requires the company
to pay $272 million in early payoff premiums on notes the bank
administers because the plan is supposed to leave the lenders
unimpaired.

In the suit, Wells Fargo said the noteholders are also owed the
contract rate of interest that accrued during the 13-month pendency
of Hertz's bankruptcy case and that Hertz has sufficient money to
make the $128 million interest payments because it is distributing
$240 million to equity holders, who are junior to the noteholders.

HILTON DOMESTIC: Moody's Assigns Ba1 CFR, Outlook Negative
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Ba1 corporate family
rating, a Ba1-PD probability of default rating, Baa3 senior secured
bank facility ratings, a Ba2 senior unsecured rating, a SGL-1
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating and a negative outlook to Hilton
Domestic Operating Company Inc. ("HOC"). These ratings had
previously been assigned to a related entity, Hilton Worldwide
Finance, LLC ("HWF"), which has been merged into HOC. HOC's
existing backed senior unsecured rating of Ba2 is unchanged. All
ratings of HWF have been withdrawn.

Assignments:

Issuer: Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc.

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Withdrawn , previously
rated Ba2 (LGD4)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Hilton Worldwide Finance, LLC

Outlook, Changed To Rating Withdrawn From Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating action results from an error correction. Since the last
rating action in April 2020 confirming the ratings of HWF, Moody's
has learned that in February 2020 HWF was merged with and into HOC,
with HOC assuming the senior notes previously issued by HWF.
Moody's has therefore assigned new ratings to HOC, and withdrawn
the ratings previously assigned to HWF.

HOC's credit profile derives support from its large scale; with
about 1,032,000 rooms Hilton is the second largest rated hotel
company after Marriott. Hilton' s credit profile is also supported
by its well-recognized brands and good diversification by geography
and industry segment. Hilton's hotels are located in more than 115
countries around the world. Hilton's credit profile also benefits
from its very good liquidity with $2.4 billion of cash and $500
million available under its $1.75 billion revolving credit facility
at March 31, 2021. In the short run, Hilton's credit profile will
be dominated by the length of time that the lodging industry
continues to be highly disrupted and the resulting impacts on the
company's liquidity profile and metrics. The normal ongoing credit
risks include its historically high leverage relative to other Ba1
rated companies and Moody's expectation that its debt/EBITDA will
remain above its 4.5x downgrade factor through 2022.

The negative outlook reflects the risk Hilton faces in terms of the
pace of leisure and business travel recovery enabling the company
to de-lever to below 4.5x.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS

Hilton's ratings could be downgraded if the leisure recovery stalls
and the pace of the return of business travel is such that
debt/EBITDA will remain above 4.5x or EBITA/interest expense below
3.5x over the longer term. Ratings could also be downgraded if
Hilton's liquidity weakened in any way. The outlook could be
revised to stable if there are signs of improving travel trends,
including business travel, into 2022 leading to an expectation that
the company's finances will stabilize in the near term and that
debt/EBITDA will improve to below 4.5x over the medium term. An
upgrade could come if travel demand returns to near prior levels
and debt/EBITDA improved to a level approaching 3.5x.

INTELSAT SA: Selects Restructuring Advisors
-------------------------------------------
Advanced Television reports that Intelsat, currently managing its
way as a Debtor in Possession of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy
restructuring process, has asked its court to confirm its June 23,
2021 appointment of a restructuring advisor.

Intelsat requested the bankruptcy court's permission on July 2,
2021 to retain Portage Point Advisors LLC to render independent
financial advisory services at the sole direction of the Special
Committee of Intelsat dis-interested directors.

Intelsat's application states: "Portage Point is a business
advisory and expert services firm whose professionals have
significant experience in providing bankruptcy crisis management
and consulting, and special financial advisory services. Portage
Point's professionals have provided strategic advice to debtors,
creditors, bondholders, investors, and other entities in chapter 11
cases of similar size and complexity as these chapter 11 cases."

The formal request to the court added: "Portage Point specialize in
interim management, restructuring advisory, turnaround consulting,
liquidity management, capital structure optimization, and
refinancing support, among many other services. Portage Point's
debtor advisory services have included a wide range of activities
targeted at stabilising and improving a company’s financial
position, including developing or validating forecasts, business
plans, and related assessments of a business's strategic position,
forensic analysis, and plan development and implementation,
including negotiating financial restructuring packages."

The company stated: "Intelsat S.A. believes that Portage Point has
developed significant relevant expertise and knowledge regarding
the unique circumstances of these chapter 11 cases and the needs of
the Special Committee. For these reasons, Portage Point is both
well qualified and uniquely suited to deal effectively and
efficiently with matters that may arise in the context of these
cases. Accordingly, Intelsat S.A. submits that the retention of
Portage Point, is in the best interests of its estate, creditors,

respects."

MALLINCKRODT PLC: Mandos Completes Adrabetadex Acquisition
----------------------------------------------------------
Following approval from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware, Mandos, LLC (Mandos) on July 1 disclosed it
has closed the acquisition of Adrabetadex (also known as VTS-270),
a drug in development for the treatment of Niemann-Pick Type C1
disease (NPC1), from Vtesse LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals (Mallinckrodt), a global
biopharmaceutical company.

NPC1 is a rare progressive genetic disorder characterized by an
inability of the body to transport cholesterol and other fatty
substances (lipids) inside of cells. This leads to the abnormal
accumulation of these substances within various tissues of the
body, including brain, liver, spleen and lung tissue. As the
disease progresses, NPC1 can lead to loss of cognition, speech, the
ability to swallow, mobility and eventually death.

Over the coming days and weeks, Mandos will work diligently with
Mallinckrodt to complete the transfer of drug sponsor obligations
from Mallinckrodt to Mandos. Mallinckrodt will continue to wind
down existing clinical trials. Mandos, in cooperation with
regulators, will work to continue the North American Expanded
Access Programs (EAPs), Investigator-initiated studies, and advance
its plan towards a development program for approval of Adrabetadex
for the treatment of NPC1.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Mandos and Mallinckrodt will
work to secure additional drug supply that will provide an
opportunity for the continuation of the EAP and
investigator-initiated studies in North America for NPC1.

Regarding a potential development path for Adrabetadex in NPC1,
Mandos will also begin a full re-analysis of the available data and
will initiate conversations with investigators, other members of
the scientific and medical community, third-party contract research
organizations, suppliers, and government regulators in order to
support these activities.

"We appreciate the dedication and commitment of this passionate
community, many of whom have already reached out to us in support.
We are committed to advancing the understanding of this disease for
the benefit of patients and families with NPC1. We have a busy few
months ahead as we begin this transition and will look forward to
providing regular updates to the community on our progress," said
Scott Riccio, EVP, Patient & Community Engagement at Mandos.

------------------------------------------------------------------

emerged from bankruptcy in 2020, is mulling a sale of its Catarina
Ranch assets in the Eagle Ford region of South Texas, Reuters
reports, citing three unidentified people familiar with the
matter.

Divestiture of the Catarina Ranch assets could be a prelude to a
sale of the company, one person told Reuters.  It could take
another month or more to start the process. Mesquite Energy didn't
respond to requests for comment to Reuters.

                       About Mesquite Energy

Mesquite Energy, formerly Sanchez Energy Corporation and its

MISTER CAR WASH: Moody's Ups CFR to B2 & Alters Outlook to Pos.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Mister Car Wash Holdings, Inc.
corporate family rating to B2 from B3 and the probability of
default rating to B2-PD from B3-PD. The senior secured bank credit
facility was affirmed at B2, and the outlook was changed to
positive from negative. In addition, Moody's assigned a speculative
grade liquidity rating of SGL-1 and a B2 rating to the company's
new senior secured revolving credit facility.

"The upgrade recognizes the favorable impact on Mister Car Wash's
credit metrics of the substantial paydown of debt with the proceeds
of its recent IPO," stated Moody's Vice President Charlie O'Shea.
"Debt/EBITDA proforma for the reduction settles in at around 5.5
times, and EBIT/interest will be around 2 times, both of which are
far better than the existing upgrade triggers," continued O'Shea.
"The positive outlook reflects the improving segment fundamentals
and permanent operating efficiencies that the company realized
during the height of the pandemic support further earnings growth
and credit metric improvement."

Upgrades:

Issuer: Mister Car Wash Holdings, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Upgraded to B2 from B3

Probability of Default Rating, Upgraded to B2-PD from B3-PD

Outlook Actions:

Outlook, Changed To Positive From Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B2 CFR rating considers the company's improved quantitative
profile, solid operating performance, and very good liquidity which
is enhanced by the upsized revolver and significant debt paydown.
Mister Car Wash benefits from its history of successful growth
through both greenfield development and acquisitions, as well as
the significant portion of revenues generated from its unlimited
wash subscription business. In addition, the company's strong
market position in the largely fragmented car wash sub-segment,
which though limited in absolute scope, Moody's still considers to
be an asset given Mister Car Wash's strength in its chosen markets.
Ratings also consider the risk inherent in it still being
sponsor-controlled, however Moody's notes the sponsors did not
extract anything meaningful from the IPO proceeds and were very
supportive during the throes of COVID.

The positive outlook reflects Moody's view that the company is
well-positioned for continued improvement in both earnings and
credit metrics.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS

Ratings could be upgraded if debt/EBITDA is sustained below 5 times
and EBIT/interest is sustained above 2.25 times while maintaining
at least good liquidity.

Ratings could be downgraded if for any reason debt/EBITDA
approached 6.5 times or EBIT/interest fell below 1.5 times or if
liquidity were to weaken.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Retail Industry
published in May 2018.

Headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, Mister Car Wash is the largest
operator of car washes in North America, operating 344 car wash
locations across 23 U.S. states with LTM March 2021 revenues of
approximately $595 million.


MKS INSTRUMENTS: Moody's Puts Ba1 CFR Under Review for Downgrade
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed MKS Instruments, Inc's ratings,
including the Ba1 Corporate Family Rating, Ba1-PD Probability of
Default Rating, and the Ba1 senior secured term loan, on review for
downgrade. This action follows the announcement that the board of
directors of Atotech Limited has accepted MKS's proposal to acquire
Atotech in a cash and stock transaction. Reflecting the anticipated
proforma cash of $800 million at closing and the new $500 million
senior secured revolver, the Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of
SGL-1 remains unchanged.

MKS plans to acquire Atotech for a per share price of $16.20 cash
plus 0.0552 MKS shares, or about $5.1 billion total purchase price
for the equity excluding transaction fees[1]. The cash portion of
the purchase price will be funded with a combination of balance
sheet cash and about $3 billion of new senior secured term loans.
Moody's anticipates that MKS will assume Atotech's existing debt,
and the acquisition is expected to close by year end.

RATINGS RATIONALE / FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR
DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS

The acquisition will expand MKS's revenue scale and diversify MKS's
revenue and customer base, reducing the company's exposure to the
Semiconductor Capital Equipment market. Atotech's process chemistry
and equipment for copper plating used in printed circuit board
(PCB) interconnect complements MKS's existing portfolio of laser
drilling systems and related products used in creating PCB
interconnects for multilayer PCBs. Atotech also brings a large
consumable products business, which Moody's expects will increase
the mix of recurring revenues in the combined business.

The mix of common equity in the consideration, at approximately 40%
of the purchase price, is credit positive, since this limits the
leveraging impact of the acquisition.

Still, despite the large equity component, the high purchase
multiple results in a leveraging acquisition, increasing debt to
EBITDA from 1.6x (twelve months ended March 31, 2021, Moody's
adjusted) to about 5.8x (proforma combined twelve months ended
March 31, 2021, excluding synergies, Moody's adjusted), or about
5.5x including anticipated cost synergies ($50 million to be
achieved over 18 to 36 months). This level of financial leverage is
high given the integration execution risks, as the acquisition of
Atotech will increase MKS's revenue base by nearly 50%, expand MKS
into new markets and new customers, and entail the integration of
Atotech's 16 manufacturing locations, the engineering teams, and
the sales and marketing team into MKS's operations.

The review will focus on: (1) the strategic rationale and product
priorities for the combined company, (2) detail on the integration
plan and cost synergies, including targeted areas and the timing of
costs and synergy capture, (3) deleveraging plans and financial
policy, (4) any conditions placed on the combined company in order
to obtain regulatory approval, and (5) details on the terms of the
new senior secured term loans and any plans to refinance the
Atotech debt.

Based on current information, at the conclusion of the review,
Moody's anticipates that any downgrade would be limited to one
notch.

NEIMAN MARCUS: Settlement Culminates Texas Defamation Fight
-----------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that the Texas Supreme Court on Friday, July 2,
2021, granted a request from Marble Ridge Capital and Neiman Marcus
to dismiss a defamation lawsuit alleging Marble Ridge had launched
a smear campaign to manipulate the price of the retailer's debt.

The parties informed the court in a joint motion filed June 25,
2021 that they had reached a settlement "that renders the issues on
appeal in this matter moot. " In November, Marble Ridge filed a
petition for review with the state's high court, arguing lower
court rulings allowing the lawsuit to move forward would create an
"unprecedented expansion of defamation and business disparagement
law."

NETSMART INC: Term Loan Add-on No Impact on Moody's B3 CFR
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that Netsmart, Inc.'s term loan
add-on to fund the acquisitions of SimpleLTC and Selman-Holman is
credit negative, as it will increase debt/EBITDA to roughly 8.0x
(Moody's adjusted pro forma as of March 2021, including capitalized
software as an expense), but it does not affect the existing
ratings or stable outlook. The incremental debt is an add-on to the
company's existing $915 million senior secured first lien term loan
due 2027. SimpleLTC and Selman-Holman will add analytics,
consulting and training capabilities to Netsmart offerings in the
skilled nursing facilities (SNF) and home care segments. The
acquisitions reflect Netsmart's strategy to complement its
electronic health record core offerings with other adjacent
products such as analytics, consulting and revenue cycle
management, enabling incremental growth opportunities.

The B3 corporate family rating reflects Netsmart's elevated
financial leverage, the company's relatively modest revenue scale
and low free cash flow to debt. Moody's expects private equity
owners GI Partners and TA Associates will continue to pursue
debt-funded acquisitions as Netsmart continues to aggregate
software solutions within the niche market segments it serves,
resulting in elevated leverage and integration risks.

Netsmart's ratings benefit from its leadership position in the
niche segments targeting human services and post-acute verticals,
which feature high barriers to entry supported by a fragmented
client based comprised of many small providers. The complexity of
healthcare regulation and complimentary adjacent products also
support the credit. An established client base with recurring
revenue contracts and a large backlog provides revenue stability.

Netsmart is a US provider of software and technology solutions for
the human services and post-acute sectors within the healthcare
industry. The human services segment includes solutions for
behavioral health and social services practices. The post-acute
segment targets care at home and senior living solutions.
Netsmart's software enables health organizations to create, manage
and share medical information via patient electronic healthcare
records. Its software and services also facilitate scheduling,
billing and patient monitoring, as well as data analytics and
revenue cycle management solutions. The company's solutions are
used by more than 35,000 client organizations, including over
560,000 care providers and more than 30 million consumers in 50
states systems. In December 2018, private equity owners GI Partners
and TA associates acquired the remaining stake held in Netsmart by
Allscripts. GI acquired its initial stake in 2016. Revenue for the
twelve-month period ending March 2021 was $488 million.

NORTHSTAR FINANCIAL: SSEK Continues to Investigate Claims
---------------------------------------------------------
Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas on July 2 disclosed that the
notice sent by the Liquidators indicates they have taken the
position that investors of variable policies, have segregated
funds, and investors of fixed products, do not have segregated
funds. What that would mean in practice is that investors with
variable products would likely receive more, but not all, of the
amount they invested back, whereas investors with fixed products
would recover even less.

However, ultimately the Liquidators do not get to decide the legal
classification of these funds as either segregated or not.  That
decision is up to the Supreme Court of Bermuda. As a result, we
expect this issue will be heavily contested and litigated in the
Bermuda courts.  The process will likely take a few years. It is
highly unlikely any group will recover all or most of their money.
Courts tend not to favor one group dramatically over the other.  If
the variable funds were truly segregated, investors would have
access to the funds now.

Litigation against the financial institutions that recommended
these products can run concurrently with the Northstar Liquidation
process.  There is no need to wait for an outcome from the Courts
in Bermuda, especially if there are Statutes of Limitations
issues.

Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) products have proved to be
the opposite of secure even though financial advisors touted these
fixed- and variable-rate annuity and investment products as CD-like
and stable. Clearly, there were misrepresentations and omissions
made.

"Our firm has already filed several cases against various financial
institutions for their unsuitable recommendations. Our team of
experienced securities fraud attorneys is concentrating their
attention and resources on fighting for our clients, including
those who live abroad, that were unsuitably recommended these
investments by US-based firms.  We have a Spanish speaking attorney
and team members to assist both our Latin American and Asian
clients," SSEK said.

"Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas offers free and confidential
consultations.  We feel strongly about these cases and offer a
contingency agreement; if we are unsuccessful, the client owes no
fees or expenses.  At the end of the process, the investor will
still hold the Northstar product, and will be entitled to whatever
the Liquidator returns.  We do NOT charge a fee on anything the
liquidator returns to the investor."

Moody's Investors Service placed all credit ratings of Radiate

RATINGS RATIONALE / FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR
DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS

On June 30, 2021 WOW! Internet, Cable & Phone (an operating
subsidiary of WideOpenWest Finance, LLC, WOW, and wholly owned by
the ultimate parent WideOpenWest, Inc.) announced [1] its plan to
sell five service areas in two separate transactions totaling
$1.786 billion. It will sell three areas, Chicago, Evansville,
Indiana, and Anne Arundel, and Maryland, to Astound Broadband
(owned by Radiate HoldCo, LLC, dba RCN, Grande Communications and
Wave Broadband) for $661 million. The transaction is expected to
close in the second half of the year and is subject to certain
regulatory reviews and approvals and the satisfaction of other
customary closing conditions.

Moody's views the transaction as credit negative. While the
transaction will increase the scale of the Company and extend the
network footprint, Moody's believe the majority, if not all of the
assets, are in overbuilt markets, and acquired at a multiple that
will be incrementally leveraging. Moody's estimate the transaction,
if fully financed with debt, could increase leverage by up to .25x.
With leverage near 6.7x (Moody's adjusted, LTM at the end of the
last quarter), this transaction will delay the Company's
deleveraging path. Moody's expect any potential downgrades to be
limited to one notch.

The review will focus on the satisfaction of closing conditions,
the acquisition financing, liquidity position, post-closing
business strategy and financial policy, and expected pro forma
capital structure.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Pay TV
published in December 2018.

REX INC: Small Business Administration Says Plan Unconfirmable
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") objects to
confirmation of the proposed Amended Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization of R.E.X., Inc.

The SBA holds a secured claim pursuant to its security agreement
and West Virginia UCC filing.

The SBA claims that the proposed Plan fails to provide for the
SBA's secured claim as required by 11 U.S.C. 1325(a)(5), 11 U.S.C.
§ 511.  

The SBA asserts that the proposed plan also mischaracterizes SBA's
obligation as a Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan that is an
unsecured and forgivable. SBA's loan is not a PPP loan and instead
falls under the SBA Economic Impact Disaster Loan ("EIDL")program.
SBA EIDL loans are not forgivable.

The SBA further asserts that the proposed plan fails to properly
reflect SBA as a secured creditor, and therefore, it is not
confirmable.

SANTA FE ARCHDIOCESE: Says Bankruptcy Property Auction Postponed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rick Ruggles of Santa Fe New Mexican reports that the Archdiocese
of Santa Fe announced in a community letter that the effort to
auction 732 properties for a bankruptcy settlement has been
delayed.

The Rev. Glennon Jones, vicar general of the archdiocese, said this
week in the letter the auction company doesn't have a final list of
properties because surveyors' work continues, property titles still
need to be acquired or analyzed, and opening prices haven't been
set.

Rev. Jones suggested the postponement reflected no setback and the
auction would simply be rescheduled.

About 385 victims of sexual abuse by archdiocese clergy members
have sued, prompting the Archdiocese of Santa Fe to declare
bankruptcy three years ago. The archdiocese now seeks to raise
money to settle the case, but the amount hasn't been determined, an
attorney for victims said. Numerous Catholic dioceses across the
country have filed for bankruptcy because of abuse by priests.

Brad Hall, an Albuquerque attorney who represents a number of
victims, said the survivors themselves would vote on whether an
amount is appropriate. No such vote is imminent.

The archdiocese, parishes and insurance companies are "shooting for
enough to get a successful plan approved by all," Mr. Hall said.
"If it blows up, it blows up."

The property auction, to be handled by SVN Auction Services of
Florida and Louisiana, had been scheduled for July 21, 2021 but
will be pushed back, Jones wrote. No replacement date has been
set.

A Santa Fe attorney representing three people in the case said
Thursday that the entire situation reflects the "legal principle"
of karma.

"I think when they embrace their own teachings and truly fall to
their knees in service of others, then all of this will happen in a
smoother way," Merit Bennett said of the archdiocese's effort to
raise money.

If archdiocese officials only have to sell properties, "they're
getting off pretty good," Bennett said. The attitude should be: "We
beg for forgiveness. How can we help?" he said.

"This is what it looks like when you molest generations of
children," the attorney said. "They're constantly haunted by the
abuses they suffered as children."

Jones alluded to this in his letter. "In all of this, we should
never forget that the claimants have been living with this
nightmare of past abuse for decades," Jones said. "Parishes can
rebuild, but these persons are scarred for life."

The archdiocese Thursday called Bennett's comments "unfortunate"
and indicative of not knowing what the archdiocese has done.  For
25 years, the archdiocese "has worked diligently to produce a safe
environment for children and young people," it said in a written
statement.

The organization has a "zero tolerance policy" for abuse, the
statement said, performs background checks on clergy members,
workers and volunteers, and has them complete sexual abuse
awareness training.

The archdiocese said it strives "to provide support and healing for
those who have been harmed by clergy sexual abuse" but acknowledged
that nothing can compensate them adequately.  The archdiocese
recognizes their pain, offers apologies and gives financial
compensation, the statement said.

If a settlement falls through, Jones wrote in the letter, the onus
could fall on Catholic parishes to sell properties, conceivably
even churches and parish halls.  If the archdiocese must go on
without a settlement, he wrote, lawsuits "will likely proceed
against individual parishes, resulting in much greater costs for
those parishes."

Jones said the auction company has assured the archdiocese that
there will be several weeks of advertising beforehand. The website
that will be used for information will be
ASFbankruptcyauction.com.

Bennett said this is the price of perpetrating evil. "That's the
law of karma," he said. "It's sad, but it's been coming. Karma's
that way. You can ignore it, but eventually it will be knocking at
your door. It's a legal principle."

The archdiocese's statement said it filed for bankruptcy not to
avoid responsibility but because the Chapter 11 process "is the
most merciful and equitable way for the archdiocese to address its
responsibility."

The complexities of the case and the property sales have led the
church to hire attorneys, a land-use planner, real estate brokers
and accountants. The dilemma also had led to the question of how
much money the archdiocese's insurers will pay in a balancing act
with the church and its parishes.

Hall said the survivors ride "an emotional roller coaster in this
process" and "just keep battling."

Bennett said faith can be promulgated without large amounts of
money. "Christ wasn't rich. He didn't need a big church. He was
poor," Bennett said.

He said to the Catholic Church: "Step up. This is the test time."

TRAXIUM LLC: John Carpenter Says Disclosures Inaccurate
-------------------------------------------------------
Non-party and creditor John Carpenter objects to the First Amended
Disclosure Statement Relating to the Plan of Reorganization Filed
by Traxium, LLC, and debtor affiliates, and states as follows:

     * The Disclosure Statement is objectionable because it does
not accurately describe Traxium's current and future ownership.
Indeed, the Disclosure Statement disregards Carpenter's two-tiered
equity interest in Traxium.

     * Carpenter's equity interest in Traxium disprove the
Disclosure Statement’s statements that (1) George and Tina
Schmutz are the only equity owners of Traxium and (2) George and
Tina Schmutz will be the only equity owners of Traxium.

     * In addition, nothing within the proposed amended plan of
reorganization contemplates destroying Carpenter's equity interest
in Traxium. Indeed, the plan merely ignores that equity interest.

     * The Disclosure Information also lacks clarity on whether the
plan's releases will cover Schmutz personal liability to Carpenter
or other parties who could pursue Schmutz for his personal
guarantees.

     * The Release and Exculpation paragraphs are unclear as to
whether Schmutz's personal obligations to any of Traxium's
creditors (including Carpenter) will be released through the
proposed amended plan of reorganization.

The Disclosure Statement is objectionable because it (1) does not
contain accurate information about "present condition of" Traxium,
(2) does not contain accurate information about the "future
management of" Traxium, (3) does not contain accurate information
about "the anticipated future of" Traxium, and (4) does contain
accurate information about the proposed amended plan of
reorganization.

TRAXIUM LLC: Objecting Parties Oppose Disclosure Motion
-------------------------------------------------------
Gergel-Kellem Company, Inc. a/k/a/ Watt Printers and G-K Ltd.
(collectively, "Objecting Parties") object to the Motion for
Approval of First Amended Disclosure Statement of Traxium, LLC, et
al.

The Objecting Parties claim that Traxium fails to disclose their
ability to retain and engage trained and qualified employees. The
risk of the Reorganized Debtors not maintaining a qualified and
trained workforce will plainly have an impact on the future
operation of the business, and their financial success or failure.

The Objecting Parties point out that the Disclosure Statement
should not be approved because the proposed Plan of Reorganization
is not confirmable on its face due to recoupment and setoff of
third-parties and the Objecting Parties.

The Objecting Parties assert that they are owed over $1 million
dollars. Unfortunately, Debtors have refused to pay the monies owed
to the Objecting Parties. Thus, any monies owed by a portion of the
Objecting Parties would be subject to recoupment and/or setoff,
meaning that any litigation initiated by Traxium against a portion
of the Objecting Parties would be futile.

The Objecting Parties further assert that the Plan and Disclosure
Statement constitute a one-sided narrative, that is unrealistic
both in the sales and expense projections, but also in the merits
of the proposed litigation.

The Objecting Parties say that a review of the proposed Plan
indicates that the current Class 4 interests (comprised of current
management) are neither making any new capital contributions nor
forfeiting its ownership interests. This is a violation of the
Bankruptcy Code's absolute priority rule and on this basis the Plan
must be denied.

2021, is available at https://bit.ly/2TI6mKd from PacerMonitor.com

WEINSTEIN CO: Accuser Defends Chapter 11 Expenses Bid
-----------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that an accuser of disgraced film mogul Harvey
Weinstein is seeking approval of a modified request for
reimbursement of legal expenses for contributions to the Chapter 11
case of The Weinstein Co. , saying she has reached a compromise
with the company's liquidating trustee in the face of several
objections.

In a reply filed Wednesday, June 30, 2021, former actress,
screenwriter and producer Louisette Geiss, who is serving as
co-chair of the official committee of unsecured creditors, asked
the Delaware bankruptcy court to grant payment for expenses that
attorneys with Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP and Brown Rudnick
LLP incurred in relation to a mediation process.

                      About The Weinstein Company

The Weinstein Company (TWC) -- http://www.WeinsteinCo.com/-- is a
multimedia production and distribution company launched in 2005 in
New York by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the brothers who founded
Miramax Films in 1979. TWC also encompasses Dimension Films, the
genre label founded in 1993 by Bob Weinstein. During Harvey and
Bob's tenure at Miramax and TWC, they have received 341 Oscar
nominations and won 81 Academy Awards.

TWC dismissed Harvey Weinstein in October 2017, after dozens of
women came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment, assault or
rape.

The Weinstein Company Holdings LLC and 54 affiliates sought Chapter
11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 18-10601) on March 19,
2018, after reaching a deal to sell all assets to Lantern Asset

engagement headed by Mark D. Collins, Paul N. Heath, Zachary I.
Shapiro, Brett M. Haywood, and David T. Queroli, in Wilmington,
Delaware.

advisor; Moelis & Company LLC as investment banker; and Epiq

WIDEOPENWEST FINANCE: Moody's Reviews B2 CFR Amid $1.8BB Asset Sale
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed all credit ratings of WideOpenWest
Finance, LLC (WOW or the Company) on review for upgrade, including
the B2 Corporate Family Rating, B2-PD Probability of Default
rating, and B2 Senior Secured instrument rating. The outlook was
changed to rating under review, from stable. The SGL-2 Speculative
Grade Liquidity is maintained.

On Review for Upgrade:

Issuer: WideOpenWest Finance, LLC

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

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

Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Placed on Review for Upgrade,
currently B2 (LGD3)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: WideOpenWest Finance, LLC

Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE / FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR
DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS

On June 30, 2021 WOW! Internet, Cable & Phone (an operating
subsidiary of WideOpenWest Finance, LLC, WOW, and wholly owned by
the ultimate parent WideOpenWest, Inc.) announced[1] its plan to
sell five service areas in two separate transactions totaling
$1.786 billion. It will sell its Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio,
service areas to Atlantic Broadband, a U.S. cable operator and
subsidiary of Cogeco Communications (USA) Inc., whose ultimate
parent is Cogeco Communications Inc. (TSE: CCA), for $1.125
billion. Chicago, Evansville, Indiana, and Anne Arundel, and
Maryland service areas will be sold to Astound Broadband (owned by
Radiate HoldCo, LLC, dba RCN, Grande Communications and Wave
Broadband) for $661 million, respectively. The transactions
collectively reflect an implied multiple of 11.0x Adjusted EBITDA
for the service areas divested, or about $162 million in EBITDA.

As part of these transactions, WOW has entered into Transition
Services Agreements with both parties to support post-transaction
continuity of service during a transition period. The transactions
are expected to close in the second half of the year and are
subject to certain regulatory reviews and approvals and the
satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Upon completion of the transactions, the Company will continue to
serve its customers in 14 service areas in Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Michigan, South Carolina, and Tennessee. According to
management, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 2021, the Company
would have had approximately 532,000 total subscribers, and 506,000
high-speed data revenue generating units. The total number of homes
passed would have been 1.9 million with a subscriber penetration
rate of 29%, up from 26% pre-sale. For the trailing 12-month period
ended March 31, 2021, management estimates its adjusted EBITDA
would have been $288 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin would be
39%. Total revenue would have been $731 million, up 1% from the
same 12-month period a year-ago with respect to the remaining
systems, with HSD revenue of $369 million, up 10% from the same
period a year ago.

Moody's believes the transactions are credit positive. While scale
is diminished, the remaining assets produce better operating
metrics and management has stated that a portion of the the sale
proceeds will be used for debt repayment and will substantially
lower leverage to as low as 2.5x, from 5.0x (management estimates),
close to the same ratios on Moody's adjusted basis. Management also
stated that a portion of the cash from the sale may be used to
further pursue Edge-outs and greenfield and commercial
opportunities as part of its broadband-first strategy.

The review will focus on the satisfaction of closing conditions,
use of proceeds and liquidity position, post-closing business
strategy and financial policy, and expected capital structure.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Pay TV
published in December 2018.

With its headquarters in Englewood, Colorado, WideOpenWest Finance,
LLC provides residential and commercial video, high speed data, and
telephony services to 19 Midwestern and Southeastern markets,
across 10 states in the United States. The Company passed
approximately 3.3 million homes and reported approximately 1.3
million residential and commercial revenue generating units
(RGU's), including 824 thousand high speed data, 291 thousand
video, and 173 thousand phone subscribers as of March 31, 2021. The
Company is public, with the largest shareholder Crestview Partners
which owns 36% of the common stock as of December 31, 2020. Revenue
for the last 12 months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $1.2
billion.


WIRTA HOTELS: Seeks Cash Access Thru Aug. 31 or Plan Effective Date
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wirta 3, LLC and Wirta Hotels 3, LLC asked the Bankruptcy Court to
authorize the continued use of cash collateral and the grant of
adequate protection to parties that may assert an interest in the
cash collateral.

The Debtors are seeking to use the cash collateral from July 16,
2021 through the earlier of August 31, 2021 or the Effective Date
of the Plan.  The Debtor said Wilmington Trust, National
Association -- as Trustee, on Behalf of the Registered Holders of
Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-C4, Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-C4 -- along with any other
creditor, may claim an interest in the cash collateral.

The Debtors proposed to grant Wilmington additional adequate
protection liens which shall have the same extent, priority
validity, and status as Wilmington's prepetition liens, and which
are binding and perfected automatically upon entry of the Order,
subject to a carve out for a professional fund.  The Debtors also
proposed to pay $30,000 (comprised of $25,000 for Foster Garvey as
counsel and $5,000 for Premier Capital Associates as financial
advisor) into a professional fund for each of July and August 2021,
i.e., $60,000 in total, to be maintained by Foster Garvey in a
trust account.

The Debtor said Wilmington's potential interests in the Cash
Collateral are adequately protected by virtue of (i) a very
substantial equity cushion that Wilmington has across its
collateral package, (ii) the Debtors' adherence to the budget and
(iii) continuation of similar forms of adequate protection for
Wilmington in the current cash collateral order.

The budget filed with the Court provided for the following expenses
and EBITDA:

                                 July 2021     August 2021
                                 -----------   -----------

  Total Departmental Expenses     $145,182      $140,327

  Total Undistributed Expenses    $150,022      $135,649

  Fixed Expenses                    $5,000        $5,000

  EBITDA                          $183,737      $186,780

The Debtors asserted that if they do not obtain permission to
continue using the cash collateral, their operations will be
immediately and irreparably imperiled.  The continued viability of
their hotel as a going concern will be threatened absent continued
access to their Cash Collateral, the Debtors said.

A copy of the motion is available for free at
https://bit.ly/3dLY5vC from PacerMonitor.com.

The Court will consider the request on July 15, 2021 at 10 a.m.
(PT), in a telephonic hearing.  The deadline for filing and serving
responses to the motion is July 8.

                            *********

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
