ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Hike in Citibank Receivables to $300MM Okayed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin J. Carey of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware entered a final order on May 27, 2009,
authorizing AbitibiBowater, Inc., and its debtor affiliates to
enter into an amendment of their existing Securitization Program
with Citibank, N.A., and Barclays Capital Inc., which provides
for, among others, an increased purchase limit of receivables by
Citibank of up to $300 million.

The Court previously permitted the Debtors during the first day
hearing in the Chapter 11 cases to keep the Existing
Securitization Program in place through June 1, 2009, and to
continue to perform their obligations under the Program.

The Existing Securitization Program is essentially a "receivables
purchase facility" among (1) Abitibi-Consolidated, Inc. and
Abitibi Consolidated Sales Corporation or "the Abitibi Group" as
Originators, (2) Abitibi Consolidated U.S. Funding Corp. and
Donohue Group as Guarantors, (3) Citibank, as Agent, and (4)
Barclays Capital Inc., as Syndication Agent.  ACI and ACSC
originate accounts receivables under an Amended and Restated
Receivables Purchase Agreement with ACI Funding, Eureka
Securitization, PLC, Citibank, Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as
agent.

Consistent with Proposed Final Order filed with the Court on
May 21, 2009, Judge Carey authorized and empowered ACI and ACSC,
as originators, on a final basis, to service, administer and
collect transferred receivables pursuant to the Financing
Agreements.  ACSC is authorized to cause ACI Funding, as a wholly
owned subsidiary of ACSC, to make, execute and deliver one or
more non-material amendments to the Financing Agreements,
including any amendment extending the term of the Receivables
Purchase Agreement.  The Debtors are to notify counsel for the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, the Term Facility
lenders and the United States Trustee of any amendment to the
Financing Agreements.

Judge Carey further permitted the Originators to use the proceeds
of the arrangements contemplated under the Financing Agreements
in the operation of the Debtors' businesses, provided that the
use of the proceeds is consistent with the terms of the Financing
Agreements.

Upon transfer of the Receivables to ACI Funding, those
Receivables will be the property of ACI Funding and not property
of any other Debtor.  Accordingly, no expenses of administration
of the Chapter 11 cases will be charged against the Transferred
Receivables.

The indemnification and other obligations of the Originators and
other Debtors owing to the Barclays, Eureka and Citibank under
the Financing Agreements, as well as those owing to ACI Funding
under the Financing Agreements, do not include any amounts owing
to Citibank under or in connection with any swap claims, any
unrelated prepetition credit agreement, or any unrelated
indebtedness.

In accordance with Section 364(c)(I) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Agent Obligations and the Receivables Obligations will constitute
allowed senior administrative expense claims against the
Originators with priority over any and all claims that may become
secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or
attachment.

The Court clarified that no cost or expense of administration
asserted against the Debtors with obligations under the Financing
Agreements will be senior to, or pari passu with, the
superpriority claims of Citibank, Eureka or ACI Funding.
Citibank, as Agent, will also be permitted to enforce the
Superpriority Claims with respect to the Receivables Obligations
on a derivative basis on behalf of ACI Funding. The Superpriority
Claims will be entitled to the full protection of Section 364(e)
in the event the Final Order is vacated, reversed or modified, on
appeal or otherwise.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreements, ACI Funding may deduct from
the purchase price of Transferred Receivables amounts which are
payable by the Originators to ACI Funding in respect of
violations of certain representations and warranties and dilution
items.  As also provided under the Interim Order, the automatic
stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code is modified to the
extent necessary to permit the Deduction.

Judge Carey held that the performance by the Originators and ACI
Funding of their obligations, as well as the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Financing Agreements, do not
provide a basis for a substantive consolidation of the assets and
liabilities of the Originators.

The provisions of the Financing Agreements will be binding on all
parties-in-interest in the Debtors' cases, including the Debtors,
ACI Funding, Eureka, Citibank, ACSC and ACI, and will inure to
their benefit.  ACI Funding, Citibank and Citibank N.A., London
Branch, as agent, will not:

  * be deemed to be in control of the operations of the Debtors;

  * owe any fiduciary duty to the Debtors; or

  * be deemed to be acting as a "responsible person" or "owner
    or operator" with respect to the operation or management of
    the Debtors.

or as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at:

              http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?3d95

                      Objections Overruled

Judge Carey overruled objections to the Debtors' Amendments to the
Existing Securitization Facility that have not been otherwise
withdrawn, waived or settled.  Among the parties that asserted
objections are:

  (1) U.S. Bank, National Association, as successor indenture
      trustee under an Indenture of Trust dated as of April 1,
      2008, with Abitibi-Consolidated Company of Canada, as
      issuer, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as the original
      indenture trustee under the Indenture, for ACCC's issuance
      of $413,000,000 of 13.75% Senior Secured Notes Due 2014.

  (2) The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors

  (3) Term lenders under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated
      April 1, 2008, among ACCC and ACI, as borrowers, and ACI
      affiliates as guarantors, and certain lenders.

On behalf of U.S. Bank, David M. Fournier, Esq., at Pepper
Hamilton LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, noted that any adequate
protection payments will effectively be funded by ACI, by means
of the monthly net cash drain from ACI to Donohue Group, which is
a guarantor party under the Indenture.  Essentially, he pointed
out, ACI is being asked to provide adequate protection to the
ACCC Term Lenders to fund the cost of preserving their own
Donohue Group collateral.  However, he argued, the Quebec
Superior Court in Canada concluded that the ACCC Term Lenders'
request for adequate protection of their secured interests with
respect to their financing under Creditors Companies' Arrangement
Act was "unfounded, and in fact questionable," noting that the
U.S. concept of an Adequate Protection Charge is seldom, if ever,
applied in Canadian Courts."

U.S. Bank thus asked the Court to rule that any approval of the
Amended and Restated Securitization Program "should preserve the
ability of the Canadian Court to place such conditions as it
deems appropriate on ACI's participation in the program, and on
the adequate protection payments otherwise payable to the ACCC
Term Lenders out of the cash flow of any CCAA Applicant."  U.S.
Bank also reserved its right to be heard with respect to the
Debtors' request to the extent it determines that the interests
of unsecured creditors of those Debtors will be adversely
affected by the new securitization program.

Mr. Fournier elaborated that the conditions to protect the
interests of the CCAA Applicants and their creditors, include
monthly cash true ups of the intercompany balances between
the CCAA Applicants and the Donohue Group, which can be
effected by means of a concomitant reduction of any adequate
protection payments otherwise payable by the Debtors to the ACCC
Term Lenders.

The Creditors Committee asserted that to the extent any of the
Superpriority Claims granted to Citibank, N.A., London Branch as
Agent, Citibank, Barclays or the ACCC Term Agent or the ACCC Term
Lenders under the Amended and Restated Securitization Program are
paid from an individual Debtor's estate, the Debtor should have a
right of contribution against the other obligated Debtors in an
amount equal to excess of the claim against, and above the direct
benefit to, that Debtor.

Representing the Committee, Neil B. Glassman, Esq., at Bayard,
P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware, asserted that the proposed
interest payments to the ACCC Term Agent, on behalf of the ACCC
Term Lenders, "should be limited to the 43.4% attributable to the
collateral located in the United States," instead of an $11
million cash payment to be paid on the closing of the Replacement
Securitization Facility.

The Committee also asserted technical points that should be
addressed, including receiving prior notice of amendments to the
Financing Documents, and receiving copies of reports provided by
the Debtors to the Agent and ACCC Term Agent.

The ACCC Term Lenders, for their part, pointed out that the
Debtors have failed to establish that the requirements of Section
363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code have been met to justify sales of
Accounts Receivables free, and clear of the Term Loan Lenders'
liens and security interests.  Moreover, the Debtors have not
offered to provide "adequate protection" sufficient to protect
the Term Lenders' interests against diminution in the value of
their collateral resulting from the use of cash collateral to
fund operations and to pay the exorbitant fees and expenses
associated with the Amended and Restated Securitization Program,
Adam Landis, Esq., at Landis Rath & Cobb LLP, in Wilmington,
Delaware, stated, on behalf of the ACCC Lenders.

According to Mr. Landis, the Term Lenders would be prepared to
provide the necessary consents if the Debtors were to provide
adequate protection in the form of:

  -- current monthly payment of cash interest at the non-default
     rate;

  -- replacement liens on the assets of the members of the
     Donohue Group of the same type as enjoyed by the Term Loan
     Lenders prior to the Petition Date;

  -- superpriority claims against the members of the Donohue
     Group;

  -- adequate protection liens having the highest priority
     available on all other assets of ACI, ACCC and the members
     of the Donohue Group;

  -- current payment of the reasonable fees and expenses of the
     proposed Successor Agent, including reasonable fees and
     expenses of counsel and financial advisors; and

  -- compliance with a 13-week rolling cash flow budget
     acceptable to the Term Loan Lenders.

Concurrent with the filing of their Objection, the Term Lenders
filed with the Court supporting documents as exhibits, including
(i) a copy of the Term Loan, (ii) the status report of the Ernst
& Young, Inc., as monitor in the proceeding involving the
Debtors' affiliates in Canada under the Companies Creditors'
Arrangement Act, (iii) a transcript of the hearing dated
April 17, 2009, which tackled the approval of the Existing
Securitization Program, and (iv) the Debtors' certifications
regarding their financial statements.  The Term Lenders also
asked the Court to allow them to file under seal certain
financial information about the Debtors that were contained in
their Objection.

Subsequently, the Term Lenders supplemented their Objection to
reflect certain alterations in the amounts they cited with
respect to the Debtors' financial information.  A blacklined copy
of the Modified Objection is available for free at:

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

In response, the Debtors contended that they do not anticipate
that future payment of Adequate Protection Obligations to impose
significant funding obligations on ACI.  The Debtors related that
although they are cash constrained, the Donohue Group will apply
cash received by ACSC from ACI Funding to make the proposed
Payments.  Moreover, ACI must bear the incremental cost to enable
the Court to approve the Amended and Restated Securitization
Program and allow the Debtors' and ACI to continue their
operations, Sean T. Greecher, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor, LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, asserted.

Mr. Greecher also filed with the Court a certification regarding
a stipulation on the provision of adequate protection to the ACCC
Term Lenders to the extent of any diminution in the value of
their collateral, with respect to the Securitization Program.
The Stipulation provided for, among other things, the granting of
replacement liens, new liens, administrative priority claims and
fees and expenses, to secure the ACCC Term Lenders' diminution
claims, if any.  Mr. Greecher, however, withdrew the
Certification on June 8, 2009.  He did not state reasons for the
withdrawal.

   CCAA Applicants Seek Approval of Securitization Program;
             Noteholders Committee, et al. Object

The CCAA Applicants asked the Honorable Mr. Justice Clement
Gascon, J.S.C., of the Superior Court Commercial Division in
Quebec, Canada, to permit them to enter into the Amended and
Restated Securitization Program.

The replacement of the Existing Securitization Program requires
authorization from the Canadian Court, as the CCAA Applicants are
parties to the Program, Stikeman Elliott LLP, in Montreal Canada,
said, on behalf of the Applicants.

The CCAA Applicants note that the most significant amendments to
the existing Receivables Purchase Agreement under the Amended
Securitization Program include:

  -- the naming of Citibank, N.A., as the successor agent;
  -- the revision of the calculation of the advance rate;
  -- the inclusion of covenants to require maintenance of credit
      insurance programs; and
  -- the modification of certain events of termination.

Echoing the assertions of the Chapter 11 Debtors, the CCAA
Applicants contend that the Amended Securitization Program will
allow them to restructure their business and maximize long term
value for the benefit of all stakeholders.  Absent the Amended
Program, ACI and ACSC will have to wait until their accounts
receivables are collected in the ordinary course to obtain
liquidity to operate their business.

Moreover, the Applicants aver that the Amended Securitization
Program will ensure their continued viability as it allows them
to maintain business relationships with their vendors, suppliers
and customers; and to purchase and supply new inventory and
finance their operations.

Contesting the CCAA Applicants' request, the Ad Hoc Committee of
Senior Secured Noteholders maintains that any adequate protection
payment awarded under the Amended Securitization Program in the
Chapter 11 cases "will effectively be funded by ACI, by means of
the monthly net cash drain from ACI to Donohue Group."

Representing the Ad Hoc Committee, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, in
Montreal Canada, related that the Donohue Group is projected to
experience substantial negative cash flow, while ACI is projected
to incur positive cash flow before debt service.  As a result of
the need to fund the Losses, the net result of the proposed
Amended Securitization Program is a net cash drain from ACI into
Donohue Group, of approximately $1.5 million per month plus fees
relating to the Program and adequate protection payments to the
ACCC Term Lenders, the Ad Hoc Committee points out.

Essentially, ACI is being asked to provide adequate protection to
the ACCC Term Lenders to fund the cost of preserving the Donohue
Group's collateral, the Ad Hoc Committee asserts.

In this regard, the Ad Hoc Committee asks the Canadian Court to
dismiss the CCAA Applicants' request or in the alternative, rule
that no payments should be made by ACI to Donohue Group for
adequate protection expenditures.

On the other hand, the ACCC Term Lenders assert that the CCAA
Applicants' cash management system includes cash deposited in the
ACI account at the Bank of America, and that their lien is
perfected by a blocked account control agreement, in relation to
the ACI Concentration Account.  The Term Lenders maintain that
access to their Cash Collateral in the ACI Concentration Account
is essential to the operation of the Replacement Securitization
Program.  Hence, the Term Lenders emphasize that it is
appropriate for the Bankruptcy Court to impose conditions before
permitting the use of the Cash Collateral, involving ACI and
ACCC's provision of adequate protection by way of lien on the
Canadian Assets or otherwise, ACI and ACCC will not be entitled
to the benefits of the Chapter 15 and Chapter 11 proceedings
litigated in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Against this backdrop, the Term Lenders ask the Honorable Justice
Gascon to adjourn his ruling on the Amended Securitization
Program to await the determination of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
with respect to the Program and the Chapter 15 Debtors' motion to
obtain the protection of a stay for the Assets.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: $154MM Portion of DIP Loan Needs Further OK
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Judge Kevin Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware entered a final order on June 4, 2009,
authorizing Abitibibowater Inc. and its affiliates to borrow and
obtain extensions of credit of up to $360,000,000 under a DIP
Credit Agreement with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, as
administrative agent and collateral agent, Avenue Investments,
L.P., and certain other lenders.

Judge Carey clarified that $154,000,000 of the full DIP amount
will only be borrowed after further approval from the Court.

Judge Carey also authorized Debtors to use the proceeds of the
DIP Facility, and the cash and cash equivalent proceeds that
constitute "cash collateral" within the meaning of Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code for (a) working capital; (b) other general
corporate purposes; (c) payment of any related transaction costs,
fees and expenses; (d) the payment of adequate protection
obligations for any diminution in value of the Prepetition
Lenders' collateral; and (e) the costs associated with
administration of the Chapter 11 cases.

The Court permitted the Debtors to pay all fees and expenses
related to the DIP Facility as they become due, including agent
fees, closing fees and exit fees, and reasonable fees and
expenses of attorneys and other professionals.

The DIP Agent is granted valid, enforceable and perfected
security interests in and liens on all assets of the Debtors,
including (x) all personal, real and mixed property of the
Debtors, including all intercompany debt, (y) 100% of the capital
stock held by the Debtors in domestic Subsidiaries; and (z) 65%
of the capital stock held by the Debtors in foreign subsidiaries.

The Security Interests and DIP Liens granted to the DIP Lenders
will be prioritized as:

  (1) immediately junior to valid, enforceable and perfected
      Liens upon the Collateral granted under the U.S. or
      Canadian Prepetition Loan Documents, or perfected by the
      U.S. or Canadian Prepetition Agent after the Petition
      Date, including claims or liens of Applied Industrial
      Technologies, Inc., and intercompany claims as of the
      Petition Date and replacement liens after the Petition
      Date;

  (2) a first-priority valid, enforceable and perfected
      security interest in, and Liens on (i) the Debtors' real
      property, physical plants, fixtures, equipment and other
      related property, including those located in Catawba,
      South Carolina and Calhoun, Tennessee, and (ii) any
      intercompany claims arising after the Petition Date; and

  (3) a valid, binding, enforceable and perfected priming Liens
      upon the portion of property comprising the Catawba Acre,
      solely to the extent of the Catawba Acre Lien.

Subject to the Carve-Out, Debtor-affiliates in litigation under
the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada, are
authorized and directed to grant the DIP Agent, valid,
enforceable and perfected security interests in, and Liens on,
all Assets of the Canadian Debtors.  The Security interests and
Canadian DIP Liens will be prioritized as:

  (1) immediately junior to valid, enforceable and perfected
      Liens upon the Canadian Collateral granted pursuant to the
      Prepetition Facilities or perfected by the Prepetition
      Agents after the Petition Date; and

  (2) a first-priority valid, enforceable and perfected security
      interest in, and Liens upon (i) assets of the Canadian
      Debtors not subject to valid, enforceable and perfected
      Permitted Canadian Prepetition Liens, and (ii) Canadian
      Intercompany Claims arising after the Petition Date.

Pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the CCAA
Applicants are authorized to grant the U.S. Debtors security
interests in and liens on all Canadian Collateral, junior to the
Canadian DIP Liens, Canadian Prepetition Liens, and the Canadian
Adequate Protection Liens.

Notwithstanding the automatic stay imposed under Section 362(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the U.S. Debtors may grant the DIP Liens
and the Adequate Protection Liens, and perform the DIP
Obligations and Adequate Protection Obligations and incur the
liabilities to the DIP Agents and the DIP Lenders.  The DIP Agent
may deliver a notice of enforcement following an event of default
with respect to the Lender Priority Collateral.  Furthermore, the
DIP and Prepetition Agents may record financing statements,
mortgages or other instruments to evidence the grant and
perfection of the Liens granted to the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders
and the Prepetition Agents.

Interest on the DIP Obligations will accrue at the rates and will
become immediately due and payable, without notice or demand,
which payment will not be altered or impaired by any Chapter 11
plan of reorganization.

The Court further granted the U.S. and Canadian Prepetition Agent
and other Lienholders a superpriority claim pursuant to Section
507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the payment of the
Carve-Out, which will be pari passu with the Superpriority Claims
held by the DIP Agents and DIP Lenders.

The DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens will not be
subject or subordinate to (i) Prepetition Liens or security
interests that are avoided and preserved for the benefit of the
Debtors, including those preserved under Section 551 of the
Bankruptcy Code, (ii) Liens arising after the Petition Date
including, those granted in favor of any federal, state,
provincial, municipal or other governmental unit, commission,
board or court for any liability of the Debtors, or (iii) any
intercompany or affiliate liens of the Debtors.

In the event of default in the performance of their Adequate
Protection Obligations, the Prepetition Agent and the CCAA
Applicants may seek relief from the Stay to enforce rights
respect to the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness and Prepetition
Collateral, the Court ruled.

Judge Carey added that Debtor Bowater Canada Finance Corporation
and its asset will not be subject to any Liens, DIP Superpriority
Claims or Adequate Protection Claims, except for the pledge of
the stock of BCFC to the Prepetition Agent, and the Debtors are
prohibited from transferring any Assets, proceeds of the Term
Loan or any Cash Collateral to BCFC.  Furthermore, BCFC will not
be deemed to be included as one of the Debtors and will not be a
guarantor of the DIP Obligations.

Judge Carey clarified that the DIP Agents or the DIP Lenders are
not deemed to be in control of the operations of the Debtors, or
acting as a "responsible person" or "owner or operator" with
respect to the Debtors' operations or management.

                           Objections

Aurelius Capital Management LP, a holder of the unsecured notes
due 2011 issued by BCFC in the aggregate face value of $600
million, argued that the DIP Financing seeks to "impose
substantial obligations on BCFC and its creditors without
demonstrating a measurable benefit," which attempt amounts to de
facto substantive consolidation of the CCAA Applicants.

"Since the CCAA Applicants are all independent legal entities,
for the DIP Motion to be approved, BCFC's liabilities under the
DIP Facility must be limited to those instances where it
individually actually utilizes or otherwise directly benefits
from the cash borrowed under the DIP Facility," Seth A.
Niederman, Esq., at Fox Rothschild LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware,
said on behalf of Aurelius.

Mr. Niederman added that the DIP Motion provides adequate
protection to the Prepetition Lienholders even though they are
unaffected by the DIP Facility since they are not primed and
already have a sufficient equity cushion to protect them in the
event of a decline in value of their collateral.

However, the Debtors have not made a specific showing as to the
benefits accorded by the DIP Facility to the Debtors and to the
business as a whole.  The Debtors should be required to make
their liabilities under the DIP Facility correspond to their
actual individual cash requirements or other cognizable and
quantifiable benefit, Mr. Niedenman opined, citing In re Mosello,
195 B.R. 277, 288 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1996).

Similarly, Wilmington Trust Company, in its capacity as indenture
trustee for the 7.95% Notes issued by Bowater Canada Finance
Corporation, argues that the DIP Motion "fails to provide
information critical to evaluating the Financing from the
perspective of the Debtors or their creditors.  According to
Wilmington Trust, the Debtors failed to disclose:

  (a) the debt structure, or the prepetition obligations of each
      Debtor for borrowed money, whether as obligor or
      guarantor;

  (b) which Debtor had unencumbered assets or assets with values
      in excess of secured debt as of the Petition Date;

  (c) which Debtors are anticipated to be net borrowers under
      the DIP Financing;

  (d) whether the net borrowing Debtors, as opposed to the
      Debtors as a whole, would have the ability to repay the
      DIP Financing utilized;

  (e) how much of the DIP Financing would be applied to satisfy
      debt of the Prepetition Lienholders, and which Debtors
      were obligated on the prepetition debt to be repaid; or

  (f) how the full $600 million DIP loan would be allocated
      between the U.S. and Canadian portions.

Furthermore, the Debtors failed to explain how the DIP Financing
entered into by the CCAA Applicants interfaces with the Debtors'
DIP Financing, or impacts the Debtors, Robert J. Dehney, Esq., at
Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware,
said on behalf of Wilmington Trust.

Mr. Dehney added that the Debtors' DIP Motion "does not provide
for either ACCC or any of the Note Guarantors to undertake any
obligations with respect to, or incur any liability under, the
DIP Facility."  Consequently, it is unknown whether and to what
extent there might be a request for ACCC or any Note Guarantor to
become liable or obligated under DIP Facility.

In this regard, Wilmington reserved its right to object to the
Motion and the Final DIP Order on any and all grounds.

In a separate filing, Advance Publications Inc. and The Herald
Publishing Company, LLC, contended that under the Debtors' DIP
Financing, (i) their "status quo would be upset," and (ii) the
ability of Calhoun Newsprint Company, a business that sustains
itself through intercompany investments from Bowater Nuway, Inc.,
Bowater Incorporated, Advance, and Herald, to continue operations
might be jeopardized.

Charles J. Brown, III, Esq., at Archer & Greiner, P.C., in
Wilmington, Delaware, explained that Herald and Bowater Nuway are
equity holders in the joint venture CNC, which owns mills and
operates the CNC Plant in Calhoun, Tennessee.  CNC is not a
Debtor entity, is not a borrower under the DIP Facility, and its
assets are not part of the collateral being pledged in connection
with the DIP Motion.  However, Mr. Brown said, the funding
obligation from Bowater Inc. to CNC has exceeded $16 million,
which may conflict with the proposed DIP Credit Agreement that
imposes a $25 million cap for the extension of "Debt" to non-
debtor affiliates.  Advance and Herald are concerned that the
Debtors will exceed the $25 million cap and in turn, Bowater Inc.
will be unable to fund the cash and intercompany gridnotes, Mr.
Brown told the Court.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors also objected to
the DIP Motion on account of "unresolved issues," consisting of
the granting of:

  -- liens to the Prepetition Lenders by Debtors that are not
     obligors under the existing prepetition credit facilities;

  -- liens and superpriority administrative claims against
     avoidance actions related to postpetition transfers; and

  -- full waivers under Sections 506(c) and 552 of the
     Bankruptcy Code.

In response to the Objections, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as
Canadian administrative agent under and on behalf of the lenders
party to a Credit Agreement dated as of May 31, 2006, asserted
that the Court should overrule the Objections because the payment
of interest of liens of the Debtors' assets, as well as the grant
of security of interest on Avoidance Actions under Section 506(c)
warrant the adequate protection and other standard consideration
provided in the proposed Final DIP Order in exchange for the use
of the Canadian Prepetition Collateral.

Wachovia Bank, National Association, the administrative agent
under the U.S. Prepetition Credit Agreement, also sought and
obtained the Court's authority for leave to submit its late-filed
response to the DIP Objections.  Wachovia Bank contended that the
Creditors Committee blithely ignored the fact that claims under
Section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code relate solely to postpetition
transfers and that the money or property transferred by the
Debtors are necessarily the collateral of the Prepetition
Lienholders and the DIP Lenders.  On the other hand, Aurelius and
Wilmington Trust are seeking to "improperly and unfairly elevate"
the interests of unsecured creditors over those of the
Prepetition Lienholders, whose cash collateral was the property
transferred and who have already agreed to be primed by the DIP
Lenders with respect to postpetition intercompany Claims, Kelly
M. Conlan, Esq., at Connolly Bove Lodge & Hutz LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, said on Wachovia Bank's behalf.

In an omnibus reply to the Objections, the Debtors noted that
that Adequate Protection proposed under the DIP Motion is
appropriate, and "is the result of a hard fought give and take
among several parties," as required by the Prepetition Lenders to
obtain consensual use of cash collateral.

Representing the Debtors, Pauline K. Morgan, Esq., at Young
Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, further
related that the Objectors' substantive consolidation concerns
are without merit, because "there is no substantive consolidation
-- de facto or otherwise."

Ms. Morgan maintained that the Objectors are instead protected by
the Savings Clause, which limits in scope each of the Debtors'
guarantee to that which can be granted consistent with fraudulent
conveyance laws.  The intercompany procedures and the granting of
Administrative Priority status for intercompany claims both
provide "belt and suspenders" protection beyond the sufficient
protection of the Savings Clause, she added.

                Court Directs Parties to Negotiate

To resolve the Objections, the Court directs the Debtors to meet
with the DIP lenders, the Prepetition Agents, the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors, Wilmington and Aurelius no
later than July 10, 2009, to discuss their periodic intercompany
advances and obligations.  If by August 7, 2008, no consensus has
been reached, the Entities will have the right to seek relief
from the Bankruptcy Court.

Judge Carey held that objections not otherwise withdrawn or
resolved are overruled.

                  Amendment No. 1 to DIP Facility

The Debtors disclosed in a regulatory filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission that effective June 5, 2009, they entered
into an amendment to their Senior Secured Superpriority DIP
Credit Agreement dated April 21, 2009.

In the June 11, 2009 filing, Jacques P. Vachon, senior vice
president for Corporate Affairs and chief legal officer at
AbitibiBowater, Inc., noted that Amendment No. 1 modifies the DIP
Credit Agreement to, among other things:

  (1) correct certain documentation errors, including, but not
      limited to:

      * correcting the minimum base rate from 2.50% per annum to
        4.50% per annum;

      * modifying the calculation of the fixed charge coverage
        ratio required to be maintained by Bowater and the
        guarantors under the Credit Agreement; and

      * clarifying certain provisions related to interest
        calculations and payment dates, including waiving
        certain defaults which occurred as a result of confusion
        over the prior language;

  (2) amend the definition of consolidated EBITDA to, among
      other things, permit the expenses of proceedings under
      Chapter 11 and Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in
      Canada, including professional fees, as to be added to
      net income for purposes of calculating consolidated
      EBITDA;

  (3) permit additional debt owed by Calhoun Newsprint Company
      to one or more Bowater entities so long as the aggregate
      amount of that additional debt, together with any
      additional investments in Calhoun Newsprint Company, does
      not exceed $10,000,000;

  (4) extend the time available to appoint a Chief Restructuring
      Officer from June 5 to June 20, 2009; and

  (5) extend the time available from June 5 to June 30, 2009, to
      (i) obtain private debt ratings from Moody's and Standard
      & Poor's on the loans under the term loan facility
      provided pursuant to the Credit Agreement and any other
      incremental facility; and (ii) provide the mortgages and
      other documentation with respect to certain properties.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Term Lenders Say CCAA Stay Particularly Long
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable Mr. Justice Clement Gascon, J.S.C., of the Quebec
Superior Court Commercial Division extended the period within
which no right may be exercised and no proceeding may be commenced
or continued against Abitibibowater Inc. and various Canadian
subsidiaries or any of their property, assets, rights and
undertakings, through and including September 4, 2009.

According to the term lenders under the Credit and Guaranty
Agreement dated April 1, 2008 with Abitibi-Consolidated Inc. or
ACI and Abitibi Consolidated Company of Canada or ACCC, as
borrowers, and ACI affiliates as guarantors, and certain lenders,
the extension of the CCAA Stay is "particularly long."

Moreover, the Term Lenders contend that the discrepancy between
the cash flow and the actual results of operations reflected in
the CCAA Monitor's 18-Week Cash Flow Forecasts Ending Sept. 6,
2009, "is likely to increase over time" given the substantial
degree of uncertainty related to the CCAA Applicants' ongoing
operations.

On behalf of the Term Lenders, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, in
Ontario, Canada, maintains that it will be in their best interest
and will be beneficial to the creditor classes in the CCAA
Proceedings, if the CCAA Applicants update their financial
information from time to time and supply the Canadian Court with
it.  The Updated Financial Information, the Term Lenders note,
will allow creditors to seek remedies in the event a material
deterioration in the actual operations of the CCAA Applicants
occur, which will possibly prejudice the interests of the
creditors and the secured position of the Term Lenders.

Specifically, the Term Lenders propose that within two days at
the end of each four-week period following the enforcement of the
Stay, the CCAA Applicants must submit to the Monitor a report of
the difference between the projected cash flow and the actual
cash flow as well as its revision for the period remaining until
the end of the Stay Period.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Proposes to Close Westover and Goodwater Mills
------------------------------------------------------------------
Abitibibowater Inc. and its affiliates seek the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware's permission to permanently
close and decommission the Westover sawmill and Goodwater planer
mill operations in Alabama.

Sean T. Greecher, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP,
in Wilmington, Delaware, relates that in particular, the Debtors
intend to reject certain equipment leases and contracts, during
which Bowater Alabama LLC will turn over control of the equipment
that is subject of an Unexpired Lease to the lessor at either the
Westover Sawmill or Goodwater Planermill.  The Equipment Leases
and Contracts to be rejected are:

  Lessor                        Contract
  ------                        --------
  Hawkins Trucking              Contract Trucking Agreement,
                                as of July 23, 2007

  Toyota Materials Handling     Commercial Equipment Lease
                                Agreement dated February 18,
                                2005

  Raylan Wood Inc.              Contract Trucking Agreement
                                dated July 13, 2007

Limited relief from the automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of
the Bankruptcy Code will be granted to the lessor to allow it to
repossess the Equipment and to dispose of it.

Concurrent with the repossession of the Equipment, the lessor
will provide the Debtors with an acknowledgement of surrender of
the Equipment.  Failure to provide a timely Acknowledgment will
forever bar a lessor from asserting a claim against the Debtors
arising out of the rejection of the Unexpired Lease.

The Debtors further intend to dispose of certain property in
Westover and Goodwater, free and clear of any claims of any third
parties whatsoever.  A complete list of the Abandoned Property is
available for free at:

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

The Debtors believe that they will incur $250,000 in costs to
clean up, shutter, raze and effect a permanent closure of the
Westover Sawmill and Goodwater Planermill operations.  Mr.
Greecher specifies that the Debtors intend to decommission and
raze the Westover Sawmill to best position the land for sale, and
so that it may recapture some of its cash outlay.  Meanwhile, the
Debtors will decommission and clean up, and permanently shutter,
the Goodwater Planermill.

Mr. Greecher points out that the machinery on the sites is
"outdated and inefficient, with negligible commercial value and
no competitive advantage."  Moreover, the Debtors incur monthly
costs for keeping the facilities idle and honoring existing
contracts entered into in connection with operations they no
longer conduct.

According to Mr. Greecher, the charges arising from the permanent
closure of the Westover Sawmill and Goodwater Planermill will
total:

  * $2.8 million, which includes $150,000 in wages paid sto
    employees upon termination;

  * $2.4 million in non-cash asset impairment charges; and

  * $250,000 in other expenses.

Decommissioning and closing the Westover Sawmill and Goodwater
Planermill, rejecting burdensome contracts servicing those
operations, abandoning worthless equipment will save the Debtors
significant monthly cash outflows and inure to the benefit of
their estates and creditors, Mr. Greecher tells Judge Carey.

              United Steelworkers Union Objects

The United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,
Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union
contends that pursuant to its collective bargaining agreements
with the Debtors, which govern the operations at the Westover
Sawmill and the Goodwater Planermill, the Debtors have an
obligation to bargain with the Union regarding (i) changes to the
CBAs; and (ii) effects of any decision to change the scope of
their business whether through shutdown or otherwise.

The CBAs are effective from March 20, 2008, through March 20,
2011, and have not been rejected pursuant to Section 1113 of the
Bankruptcy Code, Joseph J. Vitale, Esq., at Cohen, Weiss and
Simon LLP, in New York, tells the Court.

Pursuant to the Section 1113(f), the Debtors should not rely on
their assessment that the Facilities are unprofitable to
circumvent their obligations under the CBAs, Mr. Vitale asserts.
In any event, any dispute with respect to the meaning and
application of the CBAs should be determined by an arbitrator,
and not by the Court, Mr. Vitale maintains, citing Air Line
Pilots Ass'n v. Continental Airlines (In re Continental
Airlines), 125 F.3d 120, 137-38 (3d Cir. 1997).

Mr. Vitale clarifies that the Union takes no position as to
whether the permanent closure and decommission of the Facilities
is an ordinary course transaction within the meaning of Section
363 of the Bankruptcy Code.  However, the Debtors should not be
relieved of obligations under the Worker Adjustment and
Retraining Notification Act, which requires that "an employer
generally may not order a 'mass layoff' unless the employer
provides at least 60 days notice of the layoff," he contends.

Accordingly, the United Steelworkers Union asks Judge Carey to
deny the Debtors' request.

The Court will convene a hearing on June 17, 2009, to consider
the Debtors' request.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: To Buy Chip Mill Factory for $2.45MM
--------------------------------------------------------
Abitibibowater Inc. and its affiliates seek the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware's authority to:

  (a) enter into an asset purchase agreement with American
      Chips, Inc., for the purchase of American Chips' chip mill
      factory for $2.45 million; and

  (b) assume a Production and Sales Agreement dated November 25,
      1991, as amended from time to time, with American Chips,
      pursuant to which American Chips will continue to operate
      the chip mill facility and supply the Debtors with wood
      chips until the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

American Chips owns the Chip Mill Facility, which is located
north of a mill in Coosa Pines, Alabama, which the Debtors
operate.  Since 1992, the Chip Mill Facility has operated
exclusively pursuant to the terms of the Production and Sales
Agreement, supplying all of the Coosa Pines Mill's roundwood and
at least 70% of its fiber supply.

Pauline K. Morgan, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt &Taylor, LLP,
in Wilmington, Delaware, relates that the Production and Sales
Agreement contains an option for the Debtors to purchase the Chip
Mill Facility.  It expires in December 2009.  American Chips has
indicated that it will demand a chipping rate increase to
continue service under, and to extend the terms of, the
Production and Sales Agreement.

Thus, in July 2008, the Debtors exercised the Purchase Option and
agreed to the purchase of the Chip Mill Facility pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement.  The parties, however, did not fully
execute the Asset Purchase Agreement prior to the Petition Date.

Specifically, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the
Debtors will:

  (1) acquire 108 acres of real property located at 13001 Plant
      Road, in Alpine, Alabama, and all buildings, structures,
      fixtures and other improvements, and the entire Chip Mill
      Facility;

  (2) not assume, or be responsible for, any of American Chips'
      liabilities;

  (3) pay $2,450,000 to American Chips for the acquisition of
      the Chip Mill Facility;

  (4) pay American Chip's aggregate out-of-pocket expenses for
      operating supplies; and

  (5) pay $25,000 in cash as an escrow deposit, to be applied to
      the purchase price at the closing of the Agreement on
      September 30, 2009.

Between July 1, 2009, and the Closing Date, the Debtors may have
access to the Chip Mill Facility and other transferred assets,
including market studies and reports, consultant studies and
reports, manufacturers representatives agreements, customer
lists, appraisals, valuation studies and reports and other
materials or information held by American Chips in relation to
the Chip Mill Facility.

The Existing Agreement will remain in full force and effect until
the Closing.  In the event the transactions contemplated by the
Asset Purchase Agreement do not close by the Closing Deadline
because of the Debtors' default, the Production and Sales
Agreement will remain in effect until it expires on December 31,
2009.

The Asset Purchase Agreement does not provide for acquisition by
the Debtors of certain additional equipment and spare parts
necessary to operate the Chip Mill Facility.  The Debtors
estimate that the Additional Parts will cost $270,000 to obtain
or replace, according to Ms. Morgan.

Ms. Morgan tells the Court that the Chip Mill Facility
constitutes a critical source of raw materials for the Debtors'
market fluff pulp operations.  No readily available alternatives
exist for back-up or replacement of the volume of wood chipping
capacity provided by the Chip Mill Facility.

If the Purchase Transaction is not consummated, the Chip Mill
Facility will remain the property of American Chips.  Upon the
expiration of the Production and Sales Agreement, American Chips
may use the Chip Mill Facility for whatever purposes it sees fit
with no further obligation to supply wood chips to the Debtors.

Ms. Morgan notes that the proposed acquisition was vetted by the
Debtors prior to the Petition Date and all of the necessary
internal corporate approvals were obtained.

           Debtors Want to Seal Production & Sales Pact

The Debtors seek to file under seal their Production and Sales
Agreement with American Chips, which constitutes "commercial
information" relating to the strategic commercial operations of
the Debtors and American Chips.  Disclosure of the Production and
Sales Agreement would create an unfair advantage to competitors,
the Debtors aver.  The Parties contend that no party-in-interest
will be prejudiced by a lack of access to the Agreement.

The Debtors inform the Court that they will endeavor to work with
American Chips to determine whether a redacted version of the
Agreement can be submitted and publicly filed that protects their
confidential commercial information.

Judge Carey will convene a hearing on July 1, 2009, to consider
the Debtors' requests.  Objections, if any, must be filed by
June 24.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Seeks to Consummate Pending Land Transactions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Abitibibowater Inc. and its affiliates ask Judge Kevin Carey of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to allow
them to enter into, or assume to the extent necessary, and
consummate these pending de minimis land transactions:

  (1) Sale of Block 2176, which consists of 71 acres of
      undeveloped land in McMinn County, Tennessee, that the
      Debtors acquired in March 1955.

  (2) Termination of Timberland Lease for Tract 2172, in Morgan
      and Scott Counties, Tennessee, under a 90-year long-term
      lease that originated in 1968 and will expire in 2058.

  (3) Sale of Block 2088, consisting of the seven acres of land
      acquired on or about August 10, 1995 by the Debtors.

  (4) Former Block 2312 Quitclaim Deed, which relates to an
      easement to access the Debtors' property, which remained
      from a 50 by 629-feet strip of land it sold in June 2004.

  (5) Extension of Letter Agreement regarding Block 1223, which
      pertains to a lease for 20,544 acres of timberland in
      White County, Tennessee.

Sean T. Greecher, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP,
in Wilmington, Delaware, relates that the Debtors negotiated a
land sale contract with a potential buyer, which provides for the
sale of Block 2176 for $120,700, and reserves to Bowater Inc. the
right of first refusal on the timber on the property to be
conveyed.  The Debtors were unable to sign the land sale contract
prior to the Petition Date.

According to Mr. Greecher, about 49 years remain on the lease
term of the Tract 2172 Timberland Lease, which does not contain
an underlying option to purchase the land.  The ongoing annual
cash outflows for rent, property taxes, and management relating
to the Lease overhead total $89,500.  However, Tract 2172 is not
valuable to the Debtors and has minimal strategic value because:

  -- it is well North of the Debtors' Calhoun mill in an area
     far from any softwood sawmill markets;

  -- only about 36% of the property is currently in a state of
     well-growing commercial timberland; and

  -- wood from the Property will not be available for harvest
     until 2023 to 2028.

Mr. Greecher says that prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors
culminated with the Landlords a mutually agreed upon termination
of the Lease, pursuant to which the Lessors will pay Bowater
$175,000.  The Termination, however, has not been executed by
either party.

Meanwhile, Block 2088 is "land-locked and has no access," as it
is bordered by the United States Forest Service and by a property
owned by an individual.  The individual who owns the land
adjacent to Block 2088 has offered the Debtors $7,040 for the
Block 2088 under an asset purchase agreement, which the Debtors
did not execute prior to the Petition Date.

Mr. Greecher further relates that in November 2005, the Debtors
sold at an auction the Remaining Property, to which Block 2312
was not conveyed to the party purchasing the tract adjoining the
Easement.  Due to intervening events, the Easement is no longer
of any use.  The present owner of the strip of land on which
Bowater has the easement asked the Debtors to quitclaim their
rights for $500.   The Debtors wish to relinquish their rights in
the Easement, which has according to them, offers no future
benefit.

The Debtors entered into a letter agreement to permit the lessors
to explore the possibilities of re-opening 18-acre stone quarries
on Block 1223.  The Letter Agreement waived the 60-day notice
requirement for the lessors to compensate the Debtors for any
timber destroyed.  Accordingly, the lessors seek a one-year
extension of the Letter Agreement, which the Debtors intend to
grant for no additional consideration.

Mr. Greecher says that through the Land Transactions, the Debtors
are receiving cash in amounts which exceed the value of the
property being sold.  Any proceeds realized from the consummation
of the Land Transactions will be applied in accordance with the
requirements set forth in the Debtors' postpetition financing
arrangements.  Accordingly, he maintain, consummation of the Land
Transactions will inure to the benefit of the Debtors' estates
and creditors.

Section 363(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code permits the Debtors to
execute the Land Property Transactions in the ordinary course of
business without notice or a Court hearing.  However, the Debtors
are filing their Motion "to obviate any potential dispute about
the scope of Section 363(c)(1) as applied to the proposed Land
Transactions," Mr. Greecher tells the Court.

At the Debtors' behest, Judge Carey will convene a hearing on
June 17, 2009, to consider their request.  The expedited hearing,
according to the Debtors, will "avoid any missteps" in the
consummation of the Land Transactions.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Proposes to Employ Bruce Robertson as CRO
-------------------------------------------------------------
Abitibibowater Inc. and its affiliates seek the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware's authority to employ 7088418
Canada Inc., or CroCo, as their restructuring advisor.  The
Debtors also intend to designate CroCo's sole shareholder and
president, Bruce Robertson, as chief restructuring officer in
these Chapter 11 cases, pursuant to an engagement letter between
AbitibiBowater, Inc., Abitibi-Consolidated Inc., CroCo, and Mr.
Robertson dated May 18, 2009.

The Debtors believe that Mr. Robertson is well-suited to serve as
their CRO with his extensive background in providing services to,
and investing in, financially distressed companies.  Prior to
founding CroCo, Mr. Robertson was a senior managing partner at
Brookfield Asset Management, co-head of Specialty Funds, involved
in various Chapter 11 restructurings.

The professional services that CroCo and Mr. Robertson will
render to the Debtors include:

  (1) working with the Debtors' senior executives to establish a
      plan or plans for the Restructuring and reporting on
      progress, timeframe and issues;

  (2) advising and assisting the Debtors' senior executives,
      together with their advisors, in the implementation of the
      Restructuring plan or plans and coordinating and
      participating in presentations to creditors and other
      stakeholders;

  (3) advising and assisting the Debtors' senior executives on
      processes involving creditors, the Court-appointed Monitor
      in the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada, and
      other stakeholders;

  (4) advising and assisting the Debtors' senior executives in
      conjunction with their other advisors to optimize
      efficiencies and successfully complete the Restructuring;
      and

  (5) assisting, through Mr. Robertson and the chief executive
      officer, with stakeholder communications regarding the
      Restructuring.

The Debtors propose to pay CroCo C$75,000 per month for the
firm's services, plus any applicable tax.

If a success event occurs within (x) the 18-month period after
the Effective Date of the engagement, or (y) the 18-month period
following the expiration of the Engagement Agreement by the
Debtors, the Debtors will pay CroCo C$1,500,000 plus C$1,000,000,
in the event that the Success Date is prior to the first
anniversary of the Effective Date of the Engagement Agreement.

The Debtors will also reimburse CroCo for all reasonable out-of-
pocket expenses.

The Debtors have also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless CroCo
against any and all losses, expenses, claims, actions, damages,
and liabilities under the Engagement Agreement.

Mr. Robertson declared to the Court that his firm and he may have
provided services, and may currently be providing services, to
certain creditors of the Debtors and various other parties
adverse to the Debtors, in matters unrelated to these Chapter 11
cases.  Accordingly, Mr. Robertson assures the Court that he and
his firm are "disinterested" persons as that term is defined in
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Court Approves Hiring of Deloitte Tax
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware has allowed Abitibibowater Inc. and its affiliates to
engage the services of Deloitte Tax LLP as tax consultants and
tax-related reorganization service providers, nunc pro tunc to the
Petition Date.  A certificate of no objection was also filed with
respect to the request.

According to William G. Harvey, senior vice president and chief
financial officer of AbitibiBowater, the Debtors have engaged the
services of Deloitte Tax as their principal tax advisor in
connection with the merger of Bowater Inc. and Abitibi-
Consolidated Inc. in 2007.   Thereafter, the Debtors continued to
engage Deloitte Tax to assist with tax-related advice, strategy
and planning arising from, and related to the post-merger
restructurings.  As a result, Deloitte Tax is equipped with
considerable knowledge about the Debtors' business affairs.

The Debtors further believe that Deloitte Tax is well qualified
and able to perform tax services for them in a cost-effective,
efficient and timely manner, given the firm's experience in tax
matters is widely recognized, and it regularly provides those
services to large and complex business entities.

As tax consultants to the Debtors, Deloitte Tax will:

  (1) advise the Debtors in connection with their efforts to
      coordinate, evaluate and manage the bankruptcy emergence
      process including tax bankruptcy work plan execution;

  (2) advise the Debtors in determining the potential
      international, federal and state and local income tax
      implications associated with (i) the various strategic
      alternatives to be considered during the proceedings which
      may include, but are not limited to, the disposition of
      assets pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code,
      (ii) rationalization of the Debtors' corporate structure
      or other strategic alternatives, (iii) the discharge of
      any indebtedness or liability, and (iv) other tax issues
      arising in connection with the Debtors' reorganization;

  (3) advise the Debtors in:

      -- their review and analysis of the tax treatment of items
         adjusted for financial reporting purposes as a result
         of "fresh start" accounting and its determination of
         the international, federal and state and local income
         tax impacts and resulting tax reporting requirements of
         reorganizing the business operations; and

      -- settlement of prepetition claims, treatment of
         intercompany balances, asset dispositions, damages
         relating to rejected leases or other contracts, pending
         litigation or disputed claims, reduction in tax
         attributes and resulting deferred taxes, determination
         of the availability, limitations, and preservation of
         tax attributes;

  (4) advise the Debtors regarding the application of Section
      108 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the
      Debtors' Chapter 11 reorganization, including the
      determination of the likely amount of cancellation of
      indebtedness income and its determination of the effect
      of tax attribute reduction, giving consideration to
      various elections that may be beneficial for the
      Debtors;

  (5) advise the Debtors regarding the application Section 382
      of the Internal Revenue Code, including in the
      determination of whether an ownership change has
      previously occurred or may occur as a result of the
      proposed plan of reorganization and advise the Debtors on
      their determination of whether the Debtors would
      potentially qualify for and benefit from the special
      exceptions contained in Sections 382(1)(5) and (1)(6) of
      the Internal Revenue Code;

  (6) advise the Debtors in their analysis of the tax basis in
      subsidiary stock under applicable regulations and in the
      various states and, if there is an excess loss account
      with respect to the stock of any subsidiary, and provide
      tax advice to the Debtors regarding planning to reduce the
      income recognition related thereto;

  (7) advise the Debtors as to the proper tax treatment of any
      potential postpetition interest, potential reorganization
      costs and other costs incurred in connection with any
      potential reorganization;

  (8) advise the Debtors regarding other international, federal,
      state and local tax questions that may arise in the course
      of Deloitte's engagement;

  (9) advise the Debtors regarding other international, federal,
      state and local tax questions and responses to notices and
      tax audits that may arise;

(10) assist with the preparation of the Debtors' federal, state
      and local tax returns and reporting requirements and
      provide tax advice to the Debtors regarding these matters;

(11) advise the Debtors on any other tax matters arising in
      connection with the ordinary course of business or their
      Chapter 11 reorganization.

Mr. Harvey assures the Court that Deloitte Tax's services will
not duplicate, or overlap with, the services provided by other
retained advisors in the Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors will pay Deloitte Tax in accordance with these hourly
fees:

     Designation                      Hourly Rate
     -----------                      -----------
     National Partner, Principal,
      Director Specialist                 $725
     Partner, Principal, Director         $620
     Senior Manager                       $520
     Manager                              $445
     Senior                               $330
     Staff                                $260
     Paraprofessionals                    $210

The Debtors will also reimburse Deloitte for its necessary out-
of-pocket expenses.

During the 90 days prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors paid
Deloitte Tax approximately $1,238,000.   The Debtors owe Deloitte
Tax $125,000 for prepetition services and filed a claim in the
Debtors' cases.  Deloitte Tax has agreed to waive its Claim and
consequently, the Debtors will pay the outstanding amount.

Troy Watkinson, a partner of Deloitte Tax, tells the Court that
his firm is a "disinterested person" as defined in Section 101
(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ABITIBIBOWATER INC: Court OKs Hiring of Huron as Consultants
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Kevin Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware authorizes Abitibibowater Inc. and its affiliates to
employ Huron Consulting LLC, as their accounting and restructuring
consultant, nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.  Prior to the
Court's approval of the Application, the Debtors certified that
they received no objections to the request.

AbitibiBowater Vice President and Chief Financing Officer William
G. Harvey relates that the resources, capabilities and experience
of Huron are crucial to the Debtors' successful restructuring, as
it specializes in the provision of turnaround, crisis management
and restructuring services for public and private companies,
lenders, equity holders and impartial constituents.

Pursuant to an Engagement Letter, Huron will perform these
services for the Debtors:

  (1) Assist in the implementation of "critical task plans" that
      would facilitate the process of the Debtors' restructuring
      by addressing Court and other reporting requirements
      including:

      * managing the process for compiling and completing the
        required statements of financial affairs and schedules
         of assets and liabilities;

      * evaluating and establishing procedures for completing
        and filing monthly operating reports required by the
        Office of the United States Trustee; and

      * addressing Rule 2015.3 of the Federal Rules of
        Bankruptcy Procedure, on Periodic Report Concerning
        Related Entities;

  (2) assist in addressing information from various parties
      related to the Restructuring, including the Official
      Committee of Unsecured Creditors;

  (3) assist with financial reporting relating to Restructuring,
      including assistance with the evaluation of applicable
      generally accepted accounting principles, including AICPA
      Statement of Position 90-7 to reporting while under and
      upon emergence from Chapter 11, as relates to reporting to
      the Office of the United States Trustee, the Securities
      and Exchange Commission, or other legal or regulatory
      authorities;

  (4) review financial and other information as necessary to
      assist with the matters related to the Restructuring,
      including assistance with sale processes, calculations of
      "cure amounts" and other analyses in connection with the
      assumption or rejection of executory contracts, and the
      evaluation of potential avoidance actions;

  (5) provide Project Management Guidance to assist in the
      administration and execution of Restructuring workstreams;
      and

  (6) provide assistance in connection with the Company's effort
      to review, update or modify its business plan and its
      development of a plan of reorganization.

The Debtors will ensure that the services Huron will provide will
not duplicate or overlap those of other professionals, Mr. Harvey
notes.

The Debtors will pay Huron based on these hourly fees:

     Designation                      Hourly Rate
     -----------                      -----------
     Managing Directors               $650 - $730
     Directors                        $525 - $620
     Managers                         $400 - $475

AGA MEDICAL: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B+'
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its 'B+'
corporate credit rating and senior secured debt ratings on AGA
Medical Corp.; the outlook is revised to stable from positive.

"The rating on Plymouth, Minnesota-based AGA Medical Corp.
reflects the company's highly leveraged financial risk profile; a
narrow product line of medical devices, which largely treat
structural heart defects; and its relatively modest-sized revenue
base," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Cheryl Richer.  In
addition, AGA faces risks posed by competition, regulation, and
patent litigation.  The timing of a planned IPO, via which the
company's preferred stock would be converted into common stock and
subordinated debt would be repaid, remains on hold pending more
favorable market conditions.  The company just filed a fifth
amendment to its initial Form S-1, which was filed in June 2008.

Debt leverage (adjusted for operating leases and preferred stock)
was 8.2x for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009.  Paid-in-kind
preferred stock, which is held by financial sponsor Welsh, Carson,
Anderson & Stowe (57% owner), is viewed as a hybrid security.
Adjusted debt has increased from year end 2008 as a result of
incremental revolver drawdowns and $15 million of senior
subordinated PIK notes as of March 31, 2009.  Furthermore, despite
strong revenue growth (26% in constant currency for the first
quarter of 2009 over the 2008 period), declining EBITDA reflects
the cost of transitioning to direct marketing in several European
countries, and spending on clinical trials and legal issues.


AMERICAN INT'L: Can't Use Accounting Probes Against Starr
---------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal reports that Judge Jed Rakoff of the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York said that
American International Group Inc. can't mention probes into its
accounting that led to the departure of former CEO Maurice R.
Greenberg in a dispute over control of Starr International Co.'s
ownership stake in the Company.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 12, 2009,
AIG's dispute with Starr International is on the tens of millions
of shares that Starr International holds in the Company as well as
tens of millions of shares the firm sold in recent years.  Starr
International is an investment firm led by Mr. Greenberg.  AIG
said that it should control the shares and that Starr
International was holding the shares in trust.  Starr
International would contend that the absence of a trust agreement
with AIG at the time the shares were transferred shows there was
no trust and no intent to create one.

According to WSJ, a jury of eight women and two men was selected
on Monday for the $4.3 billion lawsuit AIG filed against Starr
International, after U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan
said that he will allow speeches by Mr. Greenberg to be heard in
court as evidence.

WSJ relates that Judge Rakoff ruled that Starr International's
lawyers can't bring up recent probes into AIG's controversial
payment of retention bonuses to some workers after receiving
billions of dollars in government bailout money last year.

WSJ quoted Judge Rakoff as saying, "This is a case about an
alleged trust and an alleged conversion of valuable share.  It's
not a forum for airing all the innumerable other issues -- many of
which are unresolved -- about Mr. Greenberg, Starr, AIG bonuses,
investigations and what have you."

Witnesses would start testifying on June 16 and the entire trial
will last no longer than a month, WSJ says, citing Judge Rakoff.

                            About AIG

Based in New York, American International Group, Inc. (AIG), is
the leading international insurance organization with operation in
more than 130 countries and jurisdictions.  AIG companies serve
commercial, institutional and individual customers through the
most extensive worldwide property-casualty and life insurance
networks of any insurer.  In addition, AIG companies are leading
providers of retirement services, financial services and asset
management around the world.  AIG's common stock is listed on the
New York Stock Exchange, as well as the stock exchanges in Ireland
and Tokyo.

During the third quarter of 2008, requirements to post collateral
in connection with AIG Financial Products Corp.'s credit default
swap portfolio and other AIGFP transactions and to fund returns of
securities lending collateral placed stress on AIG's liquidity.
AIG's stock price declined from $22.76 on September 8, 2008, to
$4.76 on September 15, 2008.  On that date, AIG's long-term debt
ratings were downgraded by Standard & Poor's, a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Moody's Investors Service and Fitch
Ratings, which triggered additional requirements for liquidity.
These factors and other events severely limited AIG's access to
debt and equity markets.

On September 22, 2008, AIG entered into an $85 billion revolving
credit agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and
pursuant to the Fed Credit Agreement, AIG agreed to issue 100,000
shares of Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred
Stock to a trust for the benefit of the United States Treasury.
At September 30, 2008, amounts owed under the facility created
pursuant to the Fed Credit Agreement totaled $63 billion,
including accrued fees and interest.

Since September 30, 2008, AIG has borrowed additional amounts
under the Fed Facility and has announced plans to sell assets and
businesses to repay amounts owed in connection with the Fed Credit
Agreement.  Certain of AIG's domestic life insurance subsidiaries
subsequently entered into an agreement with the NY Fed pursuant to
which the NY Fed has borrowed, in return for cash collateral,
investment grade fixed maturity securities from the insurance
subsidiaries.

On November 10, 2008, the U.S. Treasury agreed to purchase,
through its Troubled Asset Relief Program, $40 billion of newly
issued AIG perpetual preferred shares and warrants to purchase a
number of shares of common stock of AIG equal to 2% of the issued
and outstanding shares as of the purchase date.  All of the
proceeds will be used to pay down a portion of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York credit facility.  The perpetual preferred shares
will carry a 10% coupon with cumulative dividends.

AIG and the Fed also agreed to revise the existing FRBNY credit
facility.  The loan terms were extended from two to five years to
give AIG more time to complete its planned asset sales in an
orderly manner.  The equity interest that taxpayers will hold in
AIG, coupled with the warrants, will total 79.9%.

At September 30, 2008, AIG had $1.022 trillion in total
consolidated assets and $950.9 billion in total debts.
Shareholders' equity was $71.18 billion, including the addition of
$23 billion of consideration received for preferred stock not yet
issued.

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on March 4, 2009, that
Moody's Investors Service confirmed the A3 senior unsecured debt
and Prime-1 short-term debt ratings of American International
Group, Inc.  AIG's subordinated debt rating has been downgraded to
Ba2 from Baa1.  The rating outlook for AIG is negative.  This
rating action follows AIG's announcement of net losses of
$62 billion for the fourth quarter and $99 billion for the full
year of 2008, along with a revised restructuring plan supported by
the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve.  This concludes a
review for possible downgrade that was initiated on September 15,
2008.

AXCESS MEDICAL: Blames Economic Downturn for Ch. 11 Filing
----------------------------------------------------------
BrandentonHerald.com states that Axcess Medical Imaging Corp. CEO
Steven M. Miley, M.D., blamed continuing economic downturn,
reduction in reimbursement for services, and significant debt
related to company expansion for the Company's collapse.  The
company and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 on June 10.

Axcess Medical, according to court documents, said that the
bankruptcy filing will strengthen its financial position to ensure
continued operations.  BrandentonHerald.com relates that it has
appointed Douglas Badertscher, who has health care management
expertise, to lead Axcess Medical through the transition.

Axcess Medical Imaging Corp. is headquartered in Sarasota with
centers in Venice, Bradenton, and Sarasota.  It provides CT, MRI,
PET scans, digital mammography, bone density x-ray, and ultrasound
outpatient services.

AXCESS MEDICAL Imaging Corporation and its affiliates filed for
Chapter 11 on June 10 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No.: 09-12180).
Judge Caryl E. Delano handles the case.  Charles A. Postler, Esq.,
and Scott A. Stichter, at Stichter, Riedel, Blain & Prosser,
represent the Debtors in their restructuring efforts.
Axcess Medical estimated assets and debts of $1,000,001 to
$10,000,000.


AVETA INC: S&P Changes Outlook to Positive, Affirms 'B' Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
outlook on Aveta Inc., NAMM Holdings Inc., and MMM Holdings Inc.
to positive from stable.

Standard & Poor's also said that it affirmed its 'B' counterparty
credit rating on Aveta.

"The positive outlook reflects Aveta's continued improved
operating performance and increased financial flexibility, which
stemmed from its debt reduction," explained Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Neal Freedman.

Aveta's improving earnings are benefiting from core operational
fixes related to medical management and contracting initiatives
implemented by its management team, which joined the company in
2007.  Specifically, increased enrollment of Puerto Rico Medicare
Advantage members in Independent Practice Associations, which
increased to 69% of membership in 2008 from 57% in 2007,
contributed to the company's medical loss ratio declining 80 basis
points to 81.4% from 82.2%.

S&P expects that Aveta will sustain the improvements in its
business and financial profiles by leveraging important oversight
and process changes implemented in connection with its 2007
remediation initiatives.

By year-end 2009, S&P expects that revenue will exceed $2 billion
and that core Medicare HMO membership in Puerto Rico will increase
to about 180,000 members.

S&P considers Aveta's operating performance through March 2009 to
be strong relative to existing expectations.  "The positive
outlook reflects our expectation for continued strong operating
performance and debt repayment resulting in improved holding-
company capitalization over the next 12 months," Mr. Freedman
added.  "If Aveta meets these expectations, S&P could raise the
rating one notch."

AVIZA TECHNOLOGY: Beacon Offers Alternative to Aviza Customers
--------------------------------------------------------------
Beacon Engineering, which sells used Watkins-Johnson equipment,
spares, upgrades, and service solutions, has implemented their
"Beacon Engineering's Watkins-Johnson Rescue Initiative".

On June 11, 2009, five-year-old Aviza Technology announced
bankruptcy following the reported loss of $47.4 million dollars.
With many wondering if the future of Aviza is in question, there
have been many organizations who have expressed concern that their
production capabilities and business may be at risk.  "Beacon
Engineering's Watkins-Johnson Rescue Initiative" is offering all
current Aviza customers a safe haven during these rocky times by
offering an alternative to the OEM technical support, field
service, spares, upgrades and maintenance contract support with
value added and with a team approach.

Beacon Engineering has been providing all aspects of support for
Watkins-Johnson WJ-998, WJ-999TEOS and WJ-999R Hydride, WJ1000T
and Hydride and WJ-1500T and Hydride for years now and have been
growing steadily, positioning Beacon as a clear choice for those
Watkins-Johnson clients looking to migrate to a stable and fully
functional APCVD Service and Solutions Platform.

Beacon Engineering is offering its "Watkins-Johnson Rescue
Initiative" to all Aviza customers who feel their production may
be at risk throughout the events to come.  The company wants to
make it as easy as possible for organizations to make a smooth and
risk free transition to Beacon, and to ensure their business is
uninterrupted due to these unfortunate events.

Beacon wants to make this a flawless transition for customers.
The company hopes to have the opportunity to work both with and
for the fabs continually offering new products, value added
service, decrease in cost of ownership and increase in uptime
Beacon is the obvious choice for Ex-Aviza customers since the
company take great care in servicing small and medium sized wafer
fabs and facilities which makes up the majority of Aviza's client
base.

The Watkins-Johnson Rescue Initiative was promptly implemented in
response to a sudden influx of Aviza customers who have made the
move to Beacon.  To accomplish a swift and secure migration,
Beacon is offering free phone support and assistance in these
troubling times.

In addition to the Watkins-Johnson Rescue Initiative Beacon is
also showing interest in purchasing Aviza's Customer Base which
could benefit both organizations, resulting in a stable future for
Watkins-Johnson customers following the Aviza chapter 11
bankruptcy filing.

"It is our goal at Beacon to make this a flawless transition for
our customers.  We hope to have the opportunity to work both with
and for the fabs continually offering new products, value added
service, decrease in cost of ownership and increase in uptime,"
stated Bob Wirth, Managing Member of Beacon Engineering.

With the future of Aviza in question after the sharp decline in
staff from over 500 only one year ago to now a fraction of this,
Beacon invites Aviza Staff who have been affected by the recent
mass layoffs to submit their information at
http://bestinthefield.comto help Beacon manage our impressive
growth.  Due to the magnitude and time constraints of this
situation Beacon will be working vigorously around the clock in
the weeks to come in order to accommodate Aviza's Customer base
and Employees during this transition period.

BELLISIO FOODS: S&P Affirms Corporate Credit Rating at 'B'
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its
ratings on Duluth, Minnesota-based Bellisio Foods Inc., including
the 'B' long-term corporate credit rating.  S&P removed all
ratings from CreditWatch, where S&P had placed them with negative
implications on April 2, 2009, reflecting S&P's concerns about the
company's very tight covenant cushion.  The outlook is negative.

"The negative outlook reflects our continued concerns about the
company's ability to maintain sufficient cushion on its financial
covenants in a challenging operating environment despite a recent
amendment," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christopher
Johnson.

The ratings on Bellisio Foods Inc., reflects its narrow product
portfolio, the highly competitive nature of the frozen dinner
category, and moderately high debt levels.  The company's
generally stable market shares and history of relatively stable
and moderate cash flow generation are additional rating factors.

Bellisio's core products are sold under the Michelina's, Budget
Gourmet, and Lean Gourmet brand names, primarily in the Mid-
Atlantic and Southwestern U.S. The company has an established
market share in the value segment of the frozen-entr‚e category,
selling competitively priced dinner entr‚es.  Although S&P
believes the company's competitive position is somewhat defendable
given its brand positioning, Bellisio competes with several
larger, financially stronger companies whose promotional
activities limit its pricing flexibility.

The outlook is negative reflecting S&P's concerns about the future
EBITDA cushion on the company's financial covenants.  Although S&P
believes performance may improve moderately in fiscal 2009
resulting in modestly improved credit measures, including leverage
under 4x by fiscal year end, the company's minimum EBITDA covenant
successively steps up over the next several quarters, which S&P
believes will result in a very tight cushion by the first quarter
of 2010.  S&P could lower the ratings if operating performance and
credit measures don't improve as expected, which S&P believes
could result in a breach of covenants.  S&P estimate that the
company could breach its minimum EBITDA covenant over the next
year if sales and EBITDA were to decline by mid-single-digit rates
in percentage terms, resulting from further volume declines as a
result of sustained competitor promotional activity.
Alternatively, S&P could consider revising the outlook to stable
if the company is able to sustain low-single-digit sales and
EBITDA growth, thereby achieving and maintaining an EBITDA cushion
of greater than 10% on its financial covenants.


BEREAN CHRISTIAN: Lower-Than-Expected Sales Lead to Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jim Milliot at Publishers Weekly reports that Berean Christian
Stores, LLC, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio.

Accoridng to Publishers Weekly, Berean Christian listed $1 million
to $10 million in assets and $10 million to $50 million in
liabilities.  Publishers Weekly says that Berean Christian's
creditors include:

     -- Thomas Nelson, which is owed about $824,107;
     -- Zondervan, owed about $786,106;
     -- STL Distribution, owed about $488,488;
     -- Tyndale House, owed about $334,675; and
     -- Standard Publishing, owed about $210,235.

Berean Christian said in court documents that lower than expected
sales in 2009, with comp sales down 20%, is a key factor in the
decision to file for Chapter 11.

Court documents say that Berean Christian is seeking a buyer.

According to court documents, Berean Christian said that Berean
Christian Stores Endeavor will serve as a "stalking horse" bidder
to draw out other interested buyers for the Company, without
disclosing the amount of the bid.  Publishers Weekly says that
investment banking firm Silverstone Capital has been hired to
explore Berean Christian's alternatives.

Berean Christian Stores, LLC, is based in West Chester, Ohio.

BROOKLYN NAVY: Moody's Cuts Senior Secured Debt Rating to 'Ba3'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the senior secured debt
rating of Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners L.P. to Ba3
from Ba2.  The outlook was moved to negative.

The downgrade of BNY Cogen reflects the volatile debt service
coverage ratios that have persisted at this project for the past
few years.  Most recently, for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009,
the debt service coverage ratio was 0.56x.  The DSCR for the full
year 2008 was only 0.85x.  These figures are below the 1.20x level
Moody's had previously indicated was needed on a sustainable basis
to maintain the Ba2 rating.  They are also well below the 1.45x
level that was expected at the time of the original offering.  The
low coverage was caused primarily by operating and maintenance
expenses that were in excess of the amount budgeted.  As a result,
the increased costs had to be satisfied through current operating
cash flow rather than from the major maintenance reserve fund,
which had been built up in preparation for major maintenance
events.

Over the last couple of years, the plant has experienced poor
operating performance due to frequent plant outages and higher O&M
expenses.  These operating issues have also resulted in reduced
energy and steam deliveries to ConEd.  Operational difficulties
continued into the first quarter of 2009.  Steam Turbine #2 had a
scheduled major overhaul in the first quarter, but unforeseen work
on the steam turbine rotor delayed the unit's return to service.
As a result, O&M expenses increased by $2.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period for
2008.  While BNY Cogen is working to correct operational problems
and improved and more stable coverages could be realized in the
future, the financial state of the project is still expected to be
weak.

The rating on the project is supported by two positive
developments related to the project's taxation by the State of New
York.  First, the project had been subject to a judgment that had
resulted in a tax liability to the New York State Department of
Finance and Taxation for unpaid gas importation taxes that
management estimated to be $18.4 million.  However, the previous
owner of the project, Edison Mission Energy has made payments and
had certain penalties waived in the amount of $15.0 million.  The
remaining $3.4 million is still being negotiated by EME and the
NYSDTF.  EME has indemnified the owners of BNY Cogen for tax
payments prior to March 31, 2004. Based upon this indemnification,
subsequent actions by EME to settle the assessment and an escrow
balance of $4.1 million held by Tyche (one of the owners of BNY
Cogen), management believes that this contingency will be resolved
without any negative impact on the project.

Second, progress appears to have been made with respect to the
other tax issue, although the final outcome is still uncertain.
The issue relates to New York state sales and use tax on natural
gas.  In 2008, the New York State legislature passed Public
Service Law 66-h, which allows the sales and use tax to be passed
through to the offtaker, ConEd, and the project has been receiving
at least partial payment from ConEd on these taxes since the
beginning of the current year.  However, there are ongoing
discussions regarding the scope, interpretation and execution of
the law.  The liability on the past portion of the sales and use
tax, which the NYSDTF has determined to be $22.9 million, is still
pending although the project on April 22, 2009, filed an appeal,
compromise and conciliation notice to go before the tax tribunal.
Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this tax
matter.  The lack of final resolution creates uncertainty and,
depending upon the final outcome, could be adverse to the
project's liquidity.  The project continues to have an $18 million
working capital facility due 2012 (with no outstandings as of
3/31/09) as well as a six-month debt service reserve backed by an
LOC.

The current rating also reflects the strength of the project's
long-term energy sales agreement (2036) for electricity and steam
with Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (ConEd: A1
senior unsecured, outlook negative), the importance of the
project's steam to the City of New York and its valuable "in-city
generation" location.

The outlook is negative reflecting the operating performance, the
expectation of continued weak coverage ratios and the uncertainty
with respect to the final tax outcome.

The rating could be lowered further if the weak coverage ratios
persist, or if operating problems continue, such that the project
has to start dipping into its debt service reserve to meet debt
service or if the outcome of the tax matter results in a severe
impact on liquidity.  The rating could go up if the project could
get the operating problems behind them and coverages of at least
1.20x could be achieved on a sustainable basis.

The last rating action was on February 19, 2009, when the senior
secured rating of Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners L.P.
was lowered to Ba2 from Ba1.

Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners L.P. is a 286 MW gas-
fired cogeneration facility located in Brooklyn, New York.  The
project sells nearly 100% of its power and steam output to ConEd
under a long term sales agreement that expires in 2036.  BNY Cogen
is jointly owned by Mission Energy New York Inc. and B41
Associates L.P., which have owned the project since inception.  In
2004, Mission Energy New York was purchased by Tyche Power
Partners LLC, which is in turn owned by Olympus Holdings LLC and
Metalmark Capital.


CARAUSTAR INDUSTRIES: June 30 Disclosure Statement Hearing Set
--------------------------------------------------------------
The hearing to approve Caraustar Industries, Inc., et al.'s
explanatory disclosure statement, dated May 31, 2009, with respect
to the Debtors' prepackaged plan of reorganization has been set
for 10:00 a.m. on June 30, 2009.

Objections to the approval of the disclosure statement must be
filed with the Clerk of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court no later than
June 28, 2009.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 3, 2009,
in a press release dated June 1, 2009, Caraustar announced that it
entered into an agreement with consenting noteholders through a
pre-negotiated plan of reorganization.  This Plan contemplates the
exchange of the company's existing $189.75 million (7 3/8%) and
$29 million (7-1/4%) senior unsecured notes for an aggregate
$85 million in new senior secured notes and 100% of the common
stock of the reorganized company.  The reorganized company is
expected to emerge as a private entity with Wayzata Investment
Partners LLC becoming the controlling shareholder.  In conjunction
with the restructuring, Caraustar has secured credit approval from
General Electric Capital Corporation for a
$75 million senior secured debtor-in-possession revolving credit
facility.  Proceeds from the facility may be used for: (i) cash
collateralizing outstanding letters of credit; (ii) paying for
goods and services in the ordinary course of the business; and
(iii) general corporate purposes.

CHRYSLER LLC: US Govt. Still Has No Timetable for Ownership Sale
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ron Bloom, a senior member of the Obama administration's task
force overseeing the restructuring of Chrysler LLC and General
Motors Corp., said the U.S. Government has not set any specific
timetable for exiting its stakes in both automakers, Reuters
reported.

"I don't have a point estimate that judges when we can exit," Mr.
Bloom told the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday, pointing
out that setting a timetable could disrupt markets, according to
Reuters.

Certain sectors have pushed for the Government to set a timetable
for the sale of its ownership stakes in Chrysler, GM, and other
financial institutions.  The Associated Press noted that South
Dakota Sen. John Thune has urged Congress to set a July 2010
deadline for the Government to sell its stakes in companies
through which it extended federal bailout aid.

Mr. Bloom, however, told senators that President Obama wants to
get out of the auto business "as soon as practicable" and that an
exit plan would depend on how the automakers perform as well as
on overall economic factors and industry sales, Reuters related.

"I do believe that there is a reasonable probability that we can
get most of, if not all of our money back," the Reuters quoted
Mr. Bloom as saying.

The U.S. government has taken an 8% stake in Chrysler, which is
exiting Chapter 11 in an alliance with Italy-based automaker,
Fiat S.p.A., and a 60% investment in GM, which entered Chapter 11
on June 1, 2009.  The government is providing more than $12
billion in aid to Chrysler and $50 billion to GM.

Mr. Bloom also assured lawmakers that the U.S. Government has
acted strictly as an "investor of taxpayer resources" and is
playing no day-to-day role in overseeing the restructuring of
Chrysler and GM, the Washington Post noted in a separate report.
"We're not going to get into micromanaging their decisions," the
news source quoted Mr. Bloom as saying.

Mr. Bloom also reiterated the Government's stance that it played
no role in setting the scope of reductions in the automakers'
local dealership network.  He maintained that the Government will
continue to help bring together the car companies and the
stakeholders who felt they have been wronged, the Washington Post
stated.

In recent weeks, Congress heard of protests from auto workers,
dealers, suppliers and consumer watchdogs, claiming that their
rights were violated by the government-orchestrated rush to
restructure Chrysler and GM.  Some lawmakers have drafted
legislation to help dealers whose franchises had been terminated,
and committees are holding hearings on the dealerships network
reduction.

Chrysler recently closed a sale transaction of most of its assets
to Fiat on June 10, 2009.  In exchange for its acquisition of
most of Chrysler's operations, Fiat will entitle Chrysler to
about $2 billion worth of small- and medium-sized car technology.
A "new Chrysler" will be created to highlight and embody the
parties' strategic alliance.  Newly appointed CEO Sergio
Marchionne for the New Chrysler avers that the Company will soon
resume business operations.

           Treasury Dropped Loan Amount to $6.6 Bil.

The U.S. Treasury has dropped its loan for Chrysler Group LLC to
$6.6 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported.  The loan amount
is $300 million lower than the amount that the Treasury
previously estimated it would lend to the reorganized Chrysler.

As widely reported, Chrysler has received billions of dollars in
emergency loans from the U.S. government before and after the
Petition Date.  The sale of Chrysler to Fiat S.p.A., which is the
core of the Debtors' reorganization plan, was recently completed.

According to The New York Times, the $6.6 billion will be used by
Chrysler to exit from bankruptcy protection.

CHRYSLER LLC: Dealers File Appeal on Sale to Protect Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------
A group of dealers took an appeal from the order approving the
sale of Chrysler LLC's major assets to Fiat S.p.A., to ensure that
they can challenge how the deal affects their claims against the
automaker, according to Bloomberg News.

Performance Dodge LLC and 20 other dealers seek to protect their
rights to seek administrative or damage claims resulting from the
rejection of their dealership agreements with Chrysler, Bloomberg
reports.

The dealership rejection was part of the transaction Chrysler
hammered out with Fiat in their bid to have a smaller but more
effective and profitable dealer network.  The U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York approved the
dealership rejection on June 9, 2009, upon the conclusion of a
two-day hearing.

"The horse is out of the barn in terms of the sale itself.  We
want to address certain aspects of the [sale] order," Bloomberg
quoted the group's lawyer, Russell McRory, Esq., at Robinson Brog
Leinwand Greene Genovese & Gluck P.C., in New York, as saying.

The appeal came a day after Fiat completed the acquisition of
Chrysler's assets, which saved Chrysler from liquidation and
placed a new company in the hands of Fiat.  The closing took
place at 9:00 a.m., June 10, 2009, in the offices of Cadwalader
Wickersham & Taft, the law firm that is advising the U.S.
Treasury Department's auto task force.

The sale transfers most of Chrysler's operations and excludes
eight manufacturing sites, dozens of pieces of real estate,
equipment leases and contracts with 789 U.S. auto dealerships.
Under the deal, Chrysler will receive $2 billion and will be able
to take advantage of Fiat's expertise in making smaller but more
fuel-efficient cars in its US-based factories.  In return, Fiat
will control 20% of Chrysler which could be increased to 35% if
certain milestones are met.  Another 68% of the Company will be
owned by a union trust, while the remaining 12% will be shared by
the U.S. and Canadian governments.

Another group of affected Chrysler dealers represented by Eric
Snyder, Esq., at Siller Wilk LLP, in New York, also appealed the
decision of the Court allowing the Fiat sale.  The dealers include
Bob Taylor Jeep Inc., Dependable Dodge, Eagle Automall, and Iron
Trail Motors LLC, among others.

manufacture of the Nissan Titan.  Under Section 4 of the
Memorandum provides that the Memorandum would terminate upon
". . . a failure by the Parties to sign a Definitive Agreement by
November 30, 2008 . . . ."

Nissan Motor contends that the parties never signed a Definitive
Agreement or entered a mutual written agreement to extend the
term of the Memorandum.  Therefore, Nissan Motor points out that
the Memorandum expired on its own terms on November 30.  Because
the Memorandum was expired prepetition, it is not an executory
contract and is not eligible for assumption pursuant to Section
365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Nissan Motor, therefore, asks the
Court to deny the Debtors' assumption of the Memorandum.

(B) Eberspaecher

Eberspaecher North America Inc. contends that the Debtors'
proposed cure amount is incorrect.  Eberspaecher tells Judge
Gonzalez that the proper cure amounts for the outstanding
receivables and tooling are:

  * Outstanding Receivables:

    - $105,799 for prepetition shipments to Venezuela, Mopar,
      Graz;

    - $45,946 for postpetition shipments to Venezuela, Mopar,
      Graz;

    - EUR80,912 for service shipments out of Germany billed to
      Mopar/Shap prepetition;

    - $784,370 for retro payments prepetition;

    - $68,399 for LC PT parts prepetition; and

    - $249,895 for prepetition cancellation charges.

  * Tooling:

    - $482,049 for invoiced dated April 27;
    - $99,193 for prototype parts invoiced;
    - $123,464 for prototype tooling;
    - $967,264 LC tooling; and
    - $283,305 for another LC tooling.

(C) Cobasys LLC

Cobasys LLC relates that the Debtors identified a 2006 Chrysler
EMC Testing Services Agreement between Chrysler and Cobasys as a
contract to be assumed and assigned, with a proposed $0 cure
amount.  Cobasys objects to the proposed assumption and
assignment of the Agreement and asserts that it is not an
executory contract.  Cobasys adds that to the extent the Services
Agreement is an executory contract, the cure amount owed is not
$0.

Cobasys asserts that it is unaware of any contract entitled
"Chrysler EMC Testing Services Agreement."  Cobasys assumes that
the reference to the Testing Services Agreement is a reference to
Purchase Order No. K927209l-A.  Cobasys, hence, asks the Court to
(i) deny the Debtors' request to assume and assign the Agreement,
or (ii) in the alternative, condition the assumption and
assignment on the payment of proper cure amount of $282,875.

                     Withdrawn Objections

Several parties withdrew their objections to the Debtors'
assumption and assignment of certain Designated Agreements, and
proposed cure amounts because issues with the Debtors have been
resolved through letter agreements or other agreements.  Other
withdrawing parties did not cite any reason for the withdrawal.

CHRYSLER LLC: Retirees Welcome CEO Sergio Marchionne
----------------------------------------------------
Chrysler retirees welcome the appointment of Sergio Marchionne as
the new chief executive officer of Chrysler Group LLC.  Lee
Iococca, as chairman of the National Chrysler Retirement
Organization, notes this development in a letter dated June 12,
2009:

  June 12, 2009

  Welcome to your new family, Mr. Marchionne.

  We are the salaried retirees of Chrysler, and we want to be
  among the first to welcome you to a truly unique auto company.
  A few weeks ago, under your leadership, Chrysler made clear in
  Bankruptcy Court that it would include salaried retirees in
  its future when it agreed to bring most obligations for
  pensions and benefits to the New Company, just as it promised
  to do with UAW retirees.  While there are still some
  exceptions that we hope will be reevaluated, we are grateful
  that the New Company has elected to make its history (that's
  us) part of its future (that's you).

  In return, we wish to commit to you our loyal support.  The
  National Chrysler Retirement Organization (NCRO) represents
  the salaried retirees of Chrysler.  In total, there are some
  19,000 salaried retiree families representing more than
  onequarter million years of collective experience in all areas
  of the company.

  As Chrysler retirees, we believe in Chrysler.  Many of us are
  multi-generational Chrysler families.  Our grandparents,
  parents, sons and daughters were part of Chrysler, and it is
  that sense of "family" that has made this company home for us.

  Each year retirees sell thousands of vehicles to friends,
  family, neighbors and colleagues.  In our local communities,
  we are your greatest advocates, dispelling rumors, debunking
  myths, and being advocates of Chrysler products wherever we
  go.

  We are also willing to do more. As you begin the arduous task
  of bringing the New Company out of bankruptcy, we offer our
  assistance as advisors in any capacity that you might require.
  As a first step, we would be willing to meet with the Chrysler
  human resources team to determine where help is needed and to
  identify historically top-producing volunteers to assist you.
  Just put us to work...

  We remain your "Loyal Retiree Team."

  President - NCRO

CHRYSLER LLC: Ex-Mobil Chief Noto Turns Down Position in NewCo
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lucio Noto, former chief executive officer of Mobil Corp., has
refused to represent Fiat S.p.A. as director of the new Chryler
company, according to a June 12 report by Bloomberg News.

Mr. Noto cited a conflict with his role as director at Penske
Automotive Group Inc., the report said, citing people familiar
with the matter who refused to be identified as the decision has
not yet been announced.  Penske Automotive reportedly signed a
memorandum of understanding to acquire the Saturn brand from
General Motors Corp., which makes it a potential competitor to
Chrysler.

Prior to the Chrysler acquisition, Fiat Executive Alfredo
Altavilla testified at a May 27, 2009 court hearing that Fiat
planned to name Mr. Noto as one of the directors for the new
Chrysler company.  Fiat, which holds a 20% stake in the new
Chrysler company after buying most of the assets of Chrysler LLC,
is running the new company and is entitled to three seats on the
nine-member board.

According to Bloomberg, Professor Gerald Meyers of the University
of Michigan stated was a Mr. Noto was a good choice.  Prof.
Meyers, according to the report, said, "What Fiat needs now is
someone who will concentrate on the business, not on the various
constituents and stakeholders represented by the board."

The new Chrysler company is owned by Fiat, the United Auto
Workers union retiree health care trust fund and the U.S. and
Canadian governments.

The U.S. Treasury named Robert Kidder, former CEO of Borden
Chemical Inc., as board chairman of the new Chrysler company and
will nominate three more board members.  Former Michigan Governor
James Blanchard will represent the union's medical trust.
Meanwhile, the Canadian government has not yet named its
representative.

CIT GROUP: S&P Downgrades Counterparty Credit Rating to 'BB-/B'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
ratings on CIT Group Inc., including its counterparty credit
rating, to 'BB-/B' from 'BBB-/A-3'.  S&P also lowered its ratings
on CIT's hybrid capital instruments to 'CCC+' from 'B+'.  At the
same time, S&P placed its rating on CIT on CreditWatch with
negative implications.

"The downgrade reflects our assessment that CIT's funding profile
has not benefited from converting into a bank holding company to
the degree S&P had expected, which has caused further erosion in
liquidity available to repay maturing obligations and meet lending
commitments," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Rian M.
Pressman, CFA.  In particular, although the FDIC is still
considering its application, CIT has thus far not been granted
access to TLGP funding.  Moreover, there has been relatively
limited benefit from transfers of loans to CIT Bank.  S&P believes
this has reduced CIT's funding flexibility and forced it to
increase its reliance on less-attractive funding sources,
including secured borrowings and net portfolio run-off.

Even if CIT is ultimately accepted into the TLGP, the degree to
which it might benefit is uncertain.  Any issuance amount is at
the FDIC's discretion and could be less than the $10 billion that
the company would have been able to issue if it had been a BHC as
of October 2008.  S&P also believes that the transfer of assets to
CIT Bank has thus far yielded only limited benefits for the
company's funding profile.  To date, CIT has received permission
(from the Federal Reserve via a waiver of 23A) to transfer only
$5.7 billion in government-guaranteed student loans to CIT Bank.
S&P is unclear as to how receptive regulators are to additional
transfers and at what pace those transfers might occur.

The commercial banking strategy also depends on CIT Bank's ability
to obtain additional brokered deposits and diversify into
alternative deposit types, including retail.  Although CIT Bank
has had some success in raising brokered deposits, its deposit-
raising potential is untested.  S&P believes that deposits will
have to be significantly higher than current levels ($3 billion at
March 31, 2009) and more diversified in terms of product to
materially benefit CIT's funding profile.  S&P regards brokered
deposits as a less-stable funding source than deposits obtained
through a retail branch network, because they are more sensitive
to pricing variations, and as a result tend to be less sticky.

CIT's diminished funding flexibility has forced it to rely
increasingly on loan portfolio net runoff and secured borrowings.
CIT's position as a prominent middle-market lender is likely to
erode if it is unable to rely on unsecured funding.  Moreover, S&P
expects CIT to continue to use its unencumbered assets to support
additional secured financings if it is unable to access TLGP and
move additional assets to CIT Bank.

Although not the primary driver, deteriorating asset quality and
S&P's expectation for continuing operating losses through the
first half of 2010 contributed to this rating action.

Quarterly net losses, diminished financial flexibility, and the
lack of a common equity dividend make a deferral more likely and
justify the four-notch differential between the rating on CIT's
hybrid capital instruments (CCC+/Watch Neg/--) and the long-term
counterparty credit rating.  S&P also believes there is a
heightened risk of conversion to common equity for CIT's
outstanding preferred stock instruments, although management has
given no indication that it is contemplating such a move.

The CreditWatch Negative listing reflects S&P's belief that CIT's
funding and liquidity position will deteriorate prospectively to a
level inconsistent with the rating if it is unable to benefit from
the TLGP and additional transfers of assets to CIT Bank.  S&P's
review will ascertain the ultimate benefit CIT can derive from
these initiatives.  In addition, S&P will review whether the
current and prospective level of balance-sheet encumbrance reduces
the security available to support unsecured bond holders, thus
warranting a one-notch downgrade of CIT's unsecured debt relative
to the long-term counterparty credit rating.  If CIT's liquidity
position and funding costs benefit materially from these
initiatives, S&P will remove the CreditWatch Negative listing and
affirm the ratings within 90 days.


COOPER-STANDARD: To Utilize 30-Day Grace Period for Note Payments
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., the parent company of Cooper-
Standard Automotive Inc., said it would utilize a 30-day grace
period on interest payments scheduled for June 15, 2009, on its 7%
Senior Notes due 2012 and its 8-3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2014 to allow the company and its sponsors to continue discussions
with the company's lenders to increase liquidity and improve its
capital structure.

The company said that the missed interest payments do not
constitute an event of default under the bond indentures governing
the notes and will not constitute an event of default unless the
30-day grace period expires without the interest being paid,
absent an extension or forbearance of such payments.

As of March 31, 2009, the outstanding amount due under the Senior
Notes is $200,000,000 and under the Senior Subordinated Notes is
$323,350,000,

"The challenges facing the automotive industry today are
unprecedented.  While we have been implementing a range of
initiatives to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and
preserve adequate liquidity, given current global economic and
market realities, it is clear that we must evaluate our options to
improve our financial position and help ensure that we can
continue to be competitive for the long-term.  While we will use
the 30-day grace period to discuss options with our lenders and
other parties, the discussions do not affect our commitment to
continue providing our customers with reliable products and
services, and we do not anticipate that the discussions will
impact our ability to continue to pay our suppliers or our ability
to conduct normal operations in the United States or overseas
markets in the ordinary course of business," said James S. McElya,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cooper-Standard.

DTZ ROCKWOOD: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
--------------------------------------------------------
Property Week reports that DTZ Rockwood LLC has filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York.

Court documents say that DTZ Rockwood's senior lender has agreed
to extend the maturity of its corporate loans, which were provided
to finance the Company's expansion of its brokerage business,
which had started before the 50% sale to DTZ in 2006.  Property
Week says that under former CEO Mark Struckett, DTZ purchased its
50% stake in Rockwood Realty Associates three years ago for an
initial price of $45 million.

DTZ Rockwood, according to Property Week, said that its bankruptcy
filing "significantly reduces liabilities and distractions
associated with resolving the effects of the firm's prior
expansion strategy."  Property Week notes that the bankruptcy
filing also lets the Company improve its near-term liquidity, so
it can focus on real estate workout and restructuring advisory
services.

DTZ Rockwood subsidiary DTZ Rockwood Asociados and other units are
excluded in the bankruptcy filing, Property Week states.

DTZ Rockwood is a New York-based property services firm.


EDRA BLIXSETH: Ex-Husband Urges Court to Accept Liquidation Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
California socialite Edra Blixseth, who has racked up personal
debts of at least $157 million, will appear before a federal
bankruptcy judge in Butte, Montana, today to fight a court-ordered
liquidation of her assets.

Yellowstone Club founder and entrepreneur Tim Blixseth, a creditor
in the case, urges the Judge to stick with his plan to liquidate
his ex-wife's estate, with the use of an unbiased, third-party
trustee.

"My ex-wife has a decades-long record of mismanaging money, and I
hope the Bankruptcy Court will liquidate her assets so creditors
can finally recoup some of their losses," Tim Blixseth said.  "She
has been recklessly spending money as if it grows on trees. She
once boasted in a court filing that she could go through $50,000 a
month of extra spending money for 1,500 years, and still not be
happy."

In a new legal "Declaration" filed with the bankruptcy court in
Montana, Mr. Blixseth alleges that his ex-wife squandered tens of
millions of dollars that contributed to her massive bankruptcy.

A full-text copyof the Declaration is available at no charge at
http://www.sevenoaksmedia.com/PDF.pdf

                         Reckless Spending

In the Declaration, Mr. Blixseth explains:

     -- How his ex-wife spent $90,000 on an extravagant "divorce
        celebration party" complete with invitations in the shape
        of a parking meter that read, "Your time has expired" and
        a photo of Tim Blixseth's face. Guests at the party also
        were encouraged to whack a pinata, made to look like
        Blixseth, which contained gold-wrapped chocolate coins.
        Many local merchants who provided goods for the party
        were never paid.

     -- How she frequently spent $15,000 per roundtrip flight to
        shuttle her housekeeper on a private Gulfstream jet, from
        Palm Springs to Seattle, Washington, to clean her condo,
        and would also use the jet just to bring her dogs to her.

     -- How she borrowed $13 million in four days from two banks
        to support her lifestyle, while refusing to pay even the
        smallest of her bills, resulting in some small mom-and-pop
        independent business owners going broke.

                      Mounting Legal Problems

Edra Blixseth's behavior has resulted in mounting legal problems.
Last week, Wachovia Bank accused her in court filings of "fraud"
and using "false pretenses" to obtain $8 million in loans from the
bank.  In February, a federal judge in Colorado issued a warrant
for her arrest following her failure to pay back a $13 million
loan and for ignoring the court's ruling.  Late last month, the
federal bankruptcy judge in Montana concluded that she had abused
the bankruptcy process for her own benefit.  The judge converted
her Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to a much stricter Chapter 7
liquidation, in which an independent trustee will liquidate her
assets to ensure payment for her many creditors.

In the legal Declaration, Mr. Blixseth for the first time also
details his ex-wife's efforts to demonize him -- she's quoted in
an e-mail as saying "get all fingers pointing at Tim" -- in an
attempt to gain control of the Yellowstone Club, the exclusive
Montana resort he founded in 1999.

"I've sat back patiently and quietly for almost two years, while
watching a well-organized effort to discredit me and to take
control of Yellowstone Club," Mr. Blixseth said.  "But now I am
laying out the story, backed up by hard-hitting facts, of my ex-
wife's out-of-control spending habits and her trail of deceit.
It's a tragic example of what greed, ego and compulsive behavior
can do to a person.  She even borrowed against our children's
funds, in violation of an Agreement designed to protect our
children, just so she could obtain a loan for her own personal
needs."

EXIDE TECHNOLOGIES: Claims Objection Deadline Extended to July 30
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Reorganized Exide Technologies sought and obtained an order from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware extending
through July 30, 2009, the time within which it may object to
certain claims.

Laura Davis Jones, Esq., at Pachulski Stang Zeihl & Jones LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, informed the Court that the Debtor has more
than 6,100 proofs of claim asserted against them.  The Reorganized
Debtor has filed more than 50 omnibus claims objections and
consensually resolved numerous other claims, Ms. Jones said.

Through the efforts of the Reorganized Debtor, the Post-
confirmation Committee of Unsecured Creditors and each of their
professionals, approximately 6,049 Claims have been reviewed,
reconciled and resolved, reducing the total amount of outstanding
Claims by more than $3,400,000,000.  Furthermore, the Reorganized
Debtor has completed 19 quarterly distributions to creditors
under the Joint Plan, consisting of distributions on approximately
2,599 claims for approximately $1,670,000,000, Ms. Jones averred.
Since October 2008, the Reorganized Debtor has not filed any
omnibus claims objections, but has made advancements with respect
to the remaining, more complex claims.  Despite this substantial
progress, the Reorganized Debtor requires additional time to
review and resolve the approximately 78 remaining claims, Ms.
Jones explained.

The extension will provide the Reorganized Debtor and the
Committee with necessary time to continue to evaluate the claims
filed against the estate, prepare and file additional objections
to Claims and, where possible, consensually resolve claims, Ms.
Jones elaborated.  The Reorganized Debtor also asked the Court
that the requested extension be without prejudice to its right to
seek further extensions of the time within which to object to
claims.

By a certification dated May 26, 2009, James E. O'Neill, Esq., at
Pachulzki Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP in Wilmington, Delaware,
informed the Court that upon review of the Court records, no
answer, objection or response from any party was received with
respect to the request.  Objections were due May 21.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on July 9, 2008,
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the Corporate Family and
Probability of Default Ratings of Exide Technologies, Inc. to B3
from Caa1.  Moody's raised the ratings on the company's asset
based revolving credit facility to Ba2 from Ba3, the senior
secured term loans to Ba3 from B1, and the senior secured junior-
lien notes to B3 from Caa1.  The outlook is stable.  According to
Moody's, the upgrade reflects Exide Technologies' improved credit
metrics that have been achieved as a result of cost reduction
initiatives and successful pricing actions which have offset the
impact of increasing lead costs on the company's operations.
Moody's explained the actions have reduced financial risk and
positioned the company to generate credit metrics consistent with
the B3 rating over the intermediate term.  While Exide benefits
from its geographic and customer diversification, it remains
exposed to cyclical industry conditions, and commodity pricing
pressures.

EXTENDED STAY: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in New York
----------------------------------------------------------
Hotels owner and operator Extended Stay Inc. and 69 affiliates
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 before the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on
June 15, 2009.

"Extended Stay is in a liquidity crisis that is directly
attributable to the impact of the deteriorating condition and
instability of the financial markets on the expected performance
of the entire hospitality industry," explains Joseph Teichman,
secretary of Extended Stay.

Extended Stay was acquired in June 2007 from the Blackstone Group
by an investor consortium lead by David Lichtenstein, founder and
CEO of The Lightstone Group..  The purchase was financed by loans
totaling $7.4 billion.  Since the acquisition, Extended Stay has
operated in a difficult financial environment, driven by reduced
consumer and commercial spending and high fuel prices.  The
collapse of the financial markets resulted in a substantial
decline in the value of Extended Hotels' mortgage properties,
resulting in severe erosion of the Debtor's enterprise value.  The
Debtors retained Lazard Freres & Co. LLC a financial advisor in
September 2008 to pursue restructuring or recapitalization
alternatives.

As a result of these efforts and facing an imminent liquidity
crisis and worsening operating performance.  Extended Stay
ultimately determined the best alternative for preserving value
was to file for chapter 11 and pursue a restructuring of its debt
based on a pre-negotiated term sheet for a chapter 11 plan.

Extended Stay reached an agreement in principle with a group of
holders of mortgage debt on the terms of a restructuring that
reflects a manageable level of debt and provides Extended Stay
with sufficient liquidity for operations and to make necessary
improvements to ensure Extended Stay's ability to operate as a
going-concern.  The Ad Hoc Mortgage Lender group is represented by
Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson LLP and Schulte Roth & Zabel
LLP.  The agreement in principle among Extended Stay and the Ad
Hoc Mortgage Lender Group was memorialized in a term sheet, which
contemplates a plan of reorganization that provides that (i)
holders of mortgage loans will receive a new first lien mortgage
loan and the shares of new stock of the reorganized company, (ii)
holders of Mezzanine loans won't receive any distribution, other
than call options, (iii) holders of existing common equity
interests in Extended Stay will not receive any distribution,  and
(iv) holders of preferred equity will receive warrants for up to
10% of the new common stock.  A copy of the Term Sheet is
available at:

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

For their bankruptcy cases, the Debtors have tapped Marcia L.
Goldstein, Esq., and Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal &
Mangess LLP as lead counsel.  Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC is
claims and noticing agent.

The Debtors have filed before the Bankruptcy Court various "first
day" motions, including proposals to (i) continue honoring
customer programs, (ii) use their lenders' cash collateral and
(iii) reimburse HVM LLC for critical operating expenses.  A
hearing to consider the First Day Motions has been scheduled for
June 16, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) before the Honorable
James M. Peck.

All Extended Stay hotels are managed by HVM LLC, an entity that is
affiliated with, but not directly owned by, the Extended Stay
family of companies.  HVM, on behalf of Extended Stay, pays all
property level expenses of the hotels, contracts with service
providers and purchases all goods and materials utilized in the
operation of the business.  HVM employs approximately 10,000
employees in connection with the operation of the hotels at any
given point in time.  The Debtors propose to reimburse HVM
approximately $22,800,000 for expenses it will need to pay during
the 20 days following the petition date.

The Debtors project this cash flow during the first 30 days of
their Chapter 11 cases:

     Cash Receipts             $73 million
     Cash Disbursements        $67 million
                            --------------
     Net Cash Gain              $6 million

     Unpaid Obligations        $30 million
     Unpaid Receivables         $5 million

                    Lawsuit from Creditors

The Wall Street Journal relates that Extended Stay was facing a
lawsuit among creditors -- which include Bank of America and its
Merrill Lynch unit, Wells Fargo & Co.'s Wachovia, and Bear Stearns
Cos. -- who hold debt from the $8 billion buyout by Lightstone
Group LLC, Lightstone Group, one of the country's largest private
real estate investors.  According to WSJ, creditors have been in
talks with Lightstone over a possible restructuring of the debt
since last year.

Lightstone, says WSJ, acquired Extended Stay from Blackstone Group
LP in April 2007 in a deal that was highly leveraged, making the
Company especially vulnerable to a market downturn.  WSJ states
that Extended Stay has $4.1 billion in a senior first mortgage
that was mostly sold to investors as commercial-mortgage-backed
securities.  WSJ relates that Extended Stay also has $3.3 billion
of mezzanine debt divided into 10 classes ranked one through 10 in
seniority.  According to WSJ, the senior and mezzanine loans
matured on Friday, with extension options.

WSJ states that creditors and Lightstone's owner, David
Lichtenstein, went into restructuring negotiations in 2008 when it
was clear that Extended Stay would soon fall short on paying debt
service due to the market downturn.

Citing people familiar with the matter, WSJ relates that there was
a deal that would have involved mezzanine investors exchanging
their debt for preferred equity in the property, but that deal
collapsed.

Sources said that Wachovia, the servicer of the mezzanine and
first mortgage debt as well as a lender, declared a default in May
2009, after Extended Stay failed to pay a $3.5 million late phone
bill, WSJ reports.

According to WSJ, a group of investors that bought hundreds of
millions of dollars of mezzanine debt have filed lawsuits,
alleging that lenders that provided $7.4 billion in financing to
Lightstone are engaged in a scheme to take over Extended Stay and
wipe out the mezzanine investors.

FILENE'S BASEMENT: Syms & Vornado Win Auction With $63MM Bid
------------------------------------------------------------
Rachel Feintzeig at The Wall Street Journal reports that Syms
Corp. and Vornado Realty Trust emerged as the winning bidder for
Filene's Basement Inc. on Monday.

Citing Filene's Basement Chief Restructuring Office Alan Cohen,
WSJ relates that Syms and Vornado offered about $63 million in
cash, which ensures that the Company's 22 outlets will remain open
and creditors will see significant repayment.  According to WSJ,
Mr. Cohen said that unsecured creditors could recover "north of
70%" of their claims.

Reuters reported earlier that Terry Corrigan of Abacus Advisors,
which oversees Filene's restructuring, said that Syms and Vornado
raised their joint bid for the Company to $61.3 million from
$60 million.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 15, 2009,
Filene's Basement is reopening its auction for its chain of
department stores, after prematurely declaring Men's Wearhouse
Inc. as winner.  Stanley Chera's Crown Acquisitions objected to
the results of the auction where Filene's declared that Men's
Wearhouse Inc. made the best offer for the business.  Crown
contended that Filene's and the official committee of unsecured
creditors violated the court-approved rules for the auction.
Crown said that the Company accepted an offer from Men's Wearhouse
that entailed purchasing the company through confirmation of a
Chapter 11 plan contrary to the Court's order that required bids
for the immediate sale of the assets.  Crown also argued that
Men's Wearhouse didn't submit a bid by the court-imposed deadline.
The tardy offer also did not comply with bid requirements, Crown
claimed.  Men's Wearhouse has dropped its $67 million offer after
a consortium led by Crown Acquisitions filed a motion on Tuesday
accusing the company and its lawyers at K&L Gates of breaching the
rules that a bankruptcy judge had set for the auction.

WSJ states that a hearing is set for Wednesday on whether the
Court will approve Filene's sale to Syms and Vornado.

                         About Filene's

Filene's Basement Corp., also called The Basement, is a
Massachusetts-based chain of department stores owned by Retail
Ventures, Inc.  The oldest off-price retailer in the United
States, The Basement focuses on high-end goods and is known for
its distinctive, low-technology automatic markdown system.  As of
late 2006, the company operated stores in metropolitan areas of
eight U.S. states and Washington, D.C.  The chain also uses a
470,000-square-foot (44,000 m2) distribution center in Auburn,
Massachusetts.  The store's name is derived from the subterranean
location of its flagship store, in the basement of the former
Filene's department store at Downtown Crossing in Boston,
Massachusetts.

Filene's Basement, Inc. and its affiliates filed for Chapter 22 on
May 4, 2009, (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-11525) James E. O'Neill,
Esq., Laura Davis Jones, Esq., Mark M. Billion, Esq., Michael
Seidl, Esq. and Timothy P. Cairns, Esq. at Pachulski Stang Ziehl &
Jones LLP represents the Debtors in their restructuring effort.
The Debtors listed $50,000,001 to $100,000,000 in assets and
$100,000,001 to $500,000,000 in debts.

Filene's Basement first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
in August 1999.  Filene's Basement was bought by a predecessor of
Retail Ventures the following year.  As reported by the Troubled
Company Reporter on October 23, 2000, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
confirmed Filene's Basement's Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation,
filed on June 16, 2000.  Retail Ventures in April 2009 transferred
the unit to Buxbaum.


GATEWAY CASINOS: Moody's Junks Corporate Family Rating From 'B3'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered the ratings of Gateway Casinos
and Entertainment, Inc., based on a continuation of significant
leverage, earnings challenges related to weak gaming demand
trends, slower than expected ramp-up of its Grand Villa Burnaby
expansion, and heightened competition among existing casino
operators.  The outlook is negative.

Ratings lowered and assessments revised:

  -- Corporate Family Rating to Caa2 from B3

  -- Probability of Default rating to Caa2 from B3

  -- C$575 million 1st lien term loan due 2014 to B3 (LGD 2, 29%)
     from B1 (LGD 3, 31%)

  -- C$115 million 1st lien delayed draw term loan due 2014 to B3
     (LGD 2, 29%) from B1 (LGD 3, 31%)

  -- C$15 million 1st lien revolver expiring 2013 to B3 (LGD 2,
     29%) from B1 (LGD 3, 31%)

  -- C$400 million 2nd lien term loan due 2015 to Caa3 (LGD 5,
     83%) from Caa2 (LGD 5, 85%)

The downgrade is also based on Moody's view that without a
significant improvement in operating results or a meaningful
equity contribution, Gateway's capital structure is not
sustainable in its current form, and may require some form of
restructuring that involves a level of impairment.  Debt/EBITDA
(including capital recoveries) continues to hover above 10 times.

The negative outlook considers that despite Gateway's cost cutting
initiatives and the assumption of certain operating expenses by
its parent company, the difficult economic environment along with
continued intense competition and existing smoking ban in British
Columbia will make it difficult for the company to reduce leverage
in the foreseeable future.  Moody's also believes that these
factors will continue to challenge the company's ability with
respect to meeting the minimum EBITDA requirement contained in its
bank covenants, as well as the total debt/EBITDA test that begins
in March 2010.

Moody's previous rating action related to Gateway occurred on
November 17, 2008, when the company's Corporate Family Rating and
Probability of Default Rating were lowered to B3 from B2 and a
negative rating outlook was assigned.

Gateway Casinos and Entertainment, Inc. owns and operates nine
casinos throughout Canada.  The company generates approximately
C$240 million of annual revenue.


GENERAL MOTORS: Court Approves Trading Restrictions on GM Stock
---------------------------------------------------------------
On June 1, 2009, General Motors Corp., et al., sought and obtained
on an interim basis, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York's authority to establish procedures, nunc pro
tunc to the Petition Date, to protect the potential value of their
Tax Attributes.

The Debtors estimate that as of June 1, 2009, they have incurred,
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, consolidated net operating
losses in excess of $16,000,000,000, and foreign tax credit and
other excess credit carryforwards in excess of $5,000,000,000.
In addition, the Debtors have substantial tax basis in their
assets.

Stephen Karotkin, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New
York, the Debtors' counsel, told Judge Gerber during the June 1
first day hearing that the Debtors' Tax Attributes are valuable
assets of the Debtors' estates because the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, generally permits corporations to carry over
their losses and tax credits to offset future income, thereby
reducing the tax liability of the Debtors, following the 363
Transaction.

The ability of the Debtors and New GM to use the Debtors' Tax
Attributes to reduce future tax liability is subject to certain
statutory limitations.  Sections 382 and 383 of the Tax Code limit
a corporation's use of its NOLs, tax credits and certain other tax
attributes to offset future income or tax after the corporation
experiences an "ownership change," which generally occurs when the
percentage of a loss corporation's equity held by one or more "5%
shareholders" increases by more than 50 percentage points over the
lowest percentage of stock owned by that shareholder at any time
during the relevant testing period.  A Section 382 ownership
change prior to the effective date of a Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization and, particularly, prior to the 363 Transaction,
would effectively eliminate the ability of the Debtors and New GM
to use the Debtors' Tax Attributes, thereby resulting in a
significant loss of value, Mr. Karotkin said.

Pursuant to the Court's interim order, any person or Entity that
beneficially owns, at any time on or after June 1, 2009, GM Stock
in an amount sufficient to qualify that person or Entity as a
Substantial Equity holder will file with the Court, a Notice of
Substantial Stock Ownership on or before the date that is the
later of June 12, 2009, 10 days after the entry of a final order,
as applicable, or 10 days after that person or Entity qualifies as
a Substantial Equity holder.

A "Substantial Equityholder" is any person or Entity that
beneficially owns at least 27,000,000 shares of GM's common
stock, which represents approximately 4.5% of all issued and
outstanding shares of GM's common stock.

At least 15 business days prior to the proposed date of any
acquisition or disposition of equity securities that would result
in an increase or decrease in the amount of GM Stock beneficially
owned by any person, that person or entity will file with the
Court a Notice of Intent to Purchase or Dispose accumulate GM
Stock.

The Debtors and any official committee of unsecured creditors will
have 10 business days after the filing of an Equity Trading Notice
to file with the Court and serve on a Proposed Equity Transferee
or a Proposed Equity Transferor, as the case may be, an objection
to any proposed transfer of equity securities described in the
Equity Trading Notice on the grounds that the transfer may
adversely affect the Debtors' ability to utilize the Tax
Attributes as a result of an ownership change under Section 382 or
383 of the Tax Code.

If the Debtors or a creditors' committee file an Equity Objection
by the Equity Objection Deadline, then the Proposed Equity
Transaction will not be effective unless approved by a final and
non-appealable order of the Court.  If the Debtors or a creditors'
committee does not file an Equity Objection by the Equity
Objection Deadline, or if the Debtors and the creditors' committee
provide written authorization to the Proposed Equity Transferee or
the Proposed Equity Transferor, as the case may be, approves the
Proposed Equity Transaction prior to the Equity Objection
Deadline, then the Proposed Equity Transaction may proceed solely
as specifically described in the Equity Trading Notice.

Effective as of June 1, 2009, and until further order of the Court
to the contrary, any acquisition, disposition or other transfer of
equity securities of the Debtors will be deemed in violation of
the Equity Trading Procedures and a violation of the automatic
stay under Sections 105(a) and 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Any purchase, sale, or other transfer of equity securities in the
Debtors in violation of the procedures will be null and void ab
initio and will confer no rights on the transferee.

The Debtors may waive, in writing, any and all restrictions,
stays, and notification procedures contained in this Motion,
provided that pending and after the 363 Transaction, the Debtors
will not grant any waiver without the written consent of New GM,
which consent must not be unreasonably withheld.

GEORGIA GULF: Noteholders Extend Forbearances Until July 15
-----------------------------------------------------------
Georgia Gulf Corporation has entered into extended forbearance
agreements with the holders of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2014 and
10.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 comprising the requisite
percentages to ensure that the indebtedness may not be accelerated
under the indentures for the notes by the holders prior to the
earlier of July 15, 2009, and the first day on which:

   (i) holders of at least 25% of the Company's 7.125%
       Senior Notes due 2013, the 2014 notes or the 2016 notes
       have the right to accelerate the indebtedness or

  (ii) the requisite lenders under the senior secured credit
       agreement have the right to accelerate indebtedness
       thereunder,

in each case due to $34.5 million of interest payments due
April 15, 2009, under the 2014 notes and 2016 notes being withheld
by the Company.

The requisite holders of the 2013 notes have provided a similar
agreement.  The forbearance agreements were entered into with over
84%, 79% and 53% of the holders of the Company's 2014 senior
notes, 2016 senior subordinated notes and 2013 senior notes,
respectively.  All three of the notes issuances are the subject of
previously announced private exchange offers.

              Senior Secured Credit Agreement Amended,
                 $3.6MM Interest Payment Withheld

Georgia Gulf also has received from its senior secured lenders an
amendment to its senior secured credit agreement that allows the
Company to:

   -- continue to withhold the $34.5 million of interest payments
      due April 15, 2009, on its 2014 senior notes and 2016 senior
      subordinated notes; and

   -- withhold the $3.6 million interest payment due June 15,
      2009, on its 2013 senior notes,

without constituting a default under the credit agreement until
the earlier of July 15, 2009 or the first day holders of 25% or
more of the aggregate principal amount of its 2013 senior notes,
2014 senior notes, or 2016 senior subordinated notes have the
right to accelerate the indebtedness under the notes or to
exercise any other remedies.

Accordingly, the Company has withheld $3.6 million of interest due
June 15, 2009 on the 2013 senior notes.  Under the indenture
governing the 2013 notes, the Company has a 30-day grace period to
pay the withheld interest before the noteholders can seek
remedies.

All three of the Company's note issues are the subject of
currently pending private exchange offers.  As a result of the
amendment to the senior secured credit agreement, the Company
cannot issue second lien notes as currently contemplated by the
exchange offers absent further bank approval.

The amendment also revised the definition of "consolidated net
income" to exclude any gain or loss in respect of the modification
or exchange of debt instruments in accordance with EITF Issue No.
96-19, "Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt
Instruments," and any "cancellation of debt" income arising from
the cancellation of indebtedness pursuant to an exchange offer or
otherwise.  As a result of this amendment, the $121.0 million non-
cash gain on the substantial modification of the Term Loan B
recorded in the Company's statement of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 will be excluded from "consolidated
net income" for purposes of determining covenant compliance under
the senior secured credit agreement.

An acceleration of indebtedness under any issue of the notes or
the senior secured credit agreement would constitute cross
defaults under the Company's other note issues and its senior
secured credit agreement, permitting the holders of such debt to
accelerate the same.  The acceleration would also result in a
cross default under the Company's asset securitization agreement,
permitting the lenders to terminate that agreement.  In that
event, the Company would be prevented from selling additional
receivables under the asset securitization agreement.  If the
Company was to lose access to funding under both the senior
secured credit agreement and the asset securitization agreement,
the Company would be required to immediately explore alternatives

GREEKTOWN CASINO: Court Sets July 20 Disclosure Statement Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Greektown Holdings LLC and its debtor-affiliates, together with
Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation, as administrative agent for the
DIP Lenders, delivered to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan a joint plan of reorganization and an
accompanying disclosure statement on June 1, 2009.

Cliff Vallier, authorized officer of Greektown, relates that the
Plan contemplates the execution of these transactions:

  (1) After Plan Confirmation, Greektown Holdings LLC, Greektown
      Casino LLC, Contract Builders Corporation, and Realty
      Equity Company, Inc., will continue to exist as
      Reorganized Holdings, Reorganized Casino, Reorganized
      Builders, and Reorganized Realty.  Each entity will retain
      all of the assets held by the predecessor entity as of the
      date of confirmation of the Plan.

  (2) With the exception of certain causes of action, all assets
      of each of the non-reorganizing Debtor Greektown Holdings
      II, Inc., Trappers GC Partner LLC, Monroe Partners LLC,
      and Kewadin Greektown Casino LLC, will be transferred to
      Reorganized Casino, free and clear of all claims and
      encumbrances.  As soon as practicable, each of the Non-
      reorganizing Debtors will be dissolved.  The Non-
      reorganizing Debtors' Causes of Action will be transferred
      to Reorganized Holdings.

  (3) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all agreements,
      instruments, and other documents evidencing any equity
      interest in Greektown Holdings, or in any of the Non-
      reorganizing Debtors, and any right of any holder will be
      deemed cancelled, discharged, and of no force or effect.

  (4) All intercompany executory contracts will be rejected; all
      intercompany claims will be eliminated; and all
      intercompany interests in Greektown Holdings and each of
      the Non-reorganizing Debtors will be cancelled, but all
      other intercompany interests will be  retained.

  (5) The Plan Proponents may continue to market the Debtors'
      assets for sale to prospective purchasers and may, at any
      time on or before two-weeks before the date set for a
      confirmation hearing, accept an alternative proposal,
      subject to the certain conditions.

  (6) Reorganized Holdings will issue new equity on a pro rata
      basis to the Prepetition Lenders or their designees,
      provided that if an alternative proposal is accepted,
      Reorganized Holdings will issue the New Equity as provided
      for in the Alternative Proposal.

  (7) The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may obtain exit
      financing, including a revolving line of credit or any
      other credit facility, subject to certain limitations.

The Plan Proponents inform the Court that after careful review of
the Debtors' current business operations, estimated recoveries in
a liquidation scenario, and the prospects of an ongoing business,
they have concluded that the creditors' recovery will be
maximized by the reorganization contemplated by the Plan.

Specifically, the Debtors believe that their businesses and
assets have significant value that would not be realized in a
liquidation, either in whole or in substantial part.

recoveries for claim and interest holders:

votes will not be solicited.  Only Claim Holders in Classes 1, 2,
3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25,
26, 28 and 31 may vote to accept or reject the Plan.

                Liquidation and Valuation Analysis

The Plan Proponents maintain that liquidation of Greektown's
business under Chapter 7 would result in smaller distributions
being made to creditors than those provided for in the current
Plan proposed because of:

  -- the likelihood that the Debtors' assets would have to be
     sold or otherwise disposed of in a less orderly fashion
     over a shorter period of time;

  -- additional administrative expenses involved in the
     appointment of a trustee;

  -- additional expenses and claims, some of which would be
     entitled to priority, would be generated during the
     liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other
     executory contracts in connection with a cessation of the
     Debtors' operations; and

  -- no distributions being made to any class junior to the
     Holders of Allowed Secured Claims.

Nevertheless, Mr. Vallier says that if the Plan is not confirmed,
the Plan Proponents could attempt to formulate a different plan
which might involve either a reorganization and continuation of
the Debtors' business or an orderly liquidation of their assets.
With respect to an alternative plan, the Plan Proponents relate
that they have explored various alternatives in connection with
the formulation and development of the Plan.

GREEKTOWN CASINO: Court Permits Detroit to Serve Default Notice
---------------------------------------------------------------
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on May 22, 2009, the
city of Detroit, Michigan, asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan to lift the automatic stay so that it
can issue a notice of default to Greektown Casino and its debtor-
affiliates pursuant to the parties' development agreement.  The
City of Detroit clarifies that it only seeks to issue a notice of
default, it does not attempt to claim possession of estate
property, and the Debtors would not be significantly prejudiced by
lifting the automatic stay.

The Debtors had sought to assume their Development Agreement with
the City of Detroit, which request is supported by the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

                   Debtors & Committee Object

Daniel J. Weiner, Esq., at Schafer and Weiner PLLC, in Bloomfield
Hills, Michigan, argues that the City failed to identify any
alleged "hardship" and explain why the hardship "weighs" so
heavily on the City if the automatic stay remains in effect, as it
has since the Petition Date over one year ago.  The City also
failed to justify why a notice of default under the Development
Agreement should be issue at a late date, he adds.  "The City made
no attempt to declare any default under the Development Agreement
during the last six and a half years since the Development
Agreement has been in effect.  Now, the very day after this Court
issued its opinion granting the Debtors the authority to assume
the Development Agreement, the City filed a motion to lift the
automatic stay and claimed the need for expedited consideration of
its request," Mr. Weiner argues.  "Has some 'hardship' suddenly
sprung up, or is something else going on?" Mr. Weiner questions.

Robert D. Gordon, Esq., at Clark Hill PLC, in Birmingham,
Michigan, also makes the same contentions on behalf of the
Creditors Committee.  Mr. Weiner says the City's conscious
decision to not declare a default either before, or during, the
Debtors' year-long bankruptcy proceeding shows that the City was
never really serious about defaulting the Debtors under the
Development Agreement.  He points out that despite its opposition
to Assumption Motion, the City wants the Debtors to continue to
operate their newly completed casino and hotel, employ hundreds
of people, and pay gaming taxes to the State of Michigan, a
portion of which is distributed to the City.  What the City
doesn't want is for the Debtors to receive their Tax Rollback,
since 20% of the 5% Tax Rollback comes out of the City's budget,
Mr. Weiner asserts.  He elaborates that even before the Debtors'
Assumption Motion was filed, the bidding process conducted by
Moelis and Company for the Casino was well underway and during
that process, the City was actively attempting to negotiate for
itself a piece of the Tax Rollback with bidders.  Mr. Weiner tells
the Court that the City figured that slowing down the Assumption
Motion would work to slow down the Debtors' application for the
Tax Rollback so the City could maintain the status quo and
continue receiving all of its pre-Tax Rollback tax revenue.  Just
as the City's opposition to the Assumption Motion has made it more
difficult for the Debtors to obtain the Tax Rollback, the City now
seeks an expedited stay lift to declare a default for the same
reason, Mr. Weiner points out.

For these reasons, the Debtors and the Committee ask the Court to
deny the City's lift stay request.

                         City Responds

Representing the city of Detroit, Cezar M. Froelich, Esq., at
Shefsky & Froelich Ltd., in Chicago, asserts that the Debtors'
objection to the City's Lift Stay Motion is merely an attempt to
deprive the City of its contractual rights.  Having convinced the
Court that assumption of the Development Agreement is proper
because the City did not issue a formal Notice of Default, Mr.
Froelich notes that the Debtors now seek to prevent the City from
issuing a notice of default.  He clarifies that issuance of a
notice of default is a prerequisite to the City exercising certain
rights and remedies under the Development Agreement.  Mr. Froelich
relates that at this point, the City merely intends to issue a
Notice of Default and the Debtors will have the opportunity to
challenge the existence of the alleged defaults in subsequent
litigation.  "These allegations, coupled with the two days of
evidentiary hearings wherein the City presented substantial
evidence of [the Debtors'] numerous defaults, are more than
sufficient to demonstrate hardship," Mr. Froelich maintains.
Denying the request to lift the stay and preventing the City from
exercising its contractual rights under the assumed Development
Agreement will have a negative effect on the reorganization
process, Mr. Froelich asserts.  He explains that whatever entity
emerges from the Debtors' Chapter 11 proceedings must be made
aware of the City's official position regarding Debtors' defaults
under the Development Agreement.

For these reasons, the City asks the Court to lift the automatic
stay.

                           *     *     *

Judge Walter Shapero ruled that effective August 10, 2009, the
automatic stay is modified specifically to allow the City to serve
its Notice of Default.  If at any time prior to August 10, the
Debtors wish to receive the formal Notice of Default, it may
notify the City in writing of their desire to do so, including a
specific date on or after which they desire to receive the Notice.
The giving and receipt of the Notice at the indicated time will
not be considered a violation of the automatic stay or the Court's
Order.

Judge Shapero avers that he was concerned that the issuance of the
required Notice of Default commences the running of certain cure
periods under applicable provisions of the Development Agreement,
the addressing of which, on balance, at least at the current time,
may be inimical to the plan confirmation process.  He, however,
believes that the Debtors may find it advantageous, sooner rather
than later, to become specifically aware of any claimed defaults.

The Court notes that the Debtors' articulated rationale is that
until the required Notice of Default is actually issued and until
it is clear what the claimed defaults are, they are not in a
position to evaluate what it might cost to cure those defaults.
Judge Shapero concludes that presently at least, and absent the
required Notice of Default, there are no defaults to be cured
incident to the Court's approval of Debtors' Assumption Motion.

In a separate order, the Court authorized the Debtors to assume
the Development Agreement.

GREEKTOWN CASINO: Court Okays Jackier Retention as Special Counsel
------------------------------------------------------------------
Greektown Holdings, LLC, and its affiliates obtained permission
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan to employ Jackier Gould PC as their special counsel
effective March 18, 2009.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on May 22, 2009,
Daniel J. Weiner, Esq., at Schafer and Weiner PLLC, in Bloomfield
Hills, Michigan, told the Court that Honigman Miller Schwartz and
Cohn LLP, the Debtors' special corporate counsel, notified the
Debtors of a potential conflict of interest of its representation
of two individuals with connections to one of the potentially
interested bidders for the Debtors' assets.  The Debtors thus
determined that they need the advice of outside legal counsel to
provide analysis on the potential conflict of interest.

The Debtors averred that they specifically need Jackier Gould to
provide opinions on certain counsel to the Debtors' representation
of two individuals with connections to one of the potentially
interested bidders for the Debtors' assets.  They may also need
Jackier Gould's advice on other issues that may arise during the
course of their Chapter 11 cases.  Upon its engagement, Jackier
Gould investigated the Potential Conflict and provided the
Debtors' "Restructuring Transaction" Sub-Committee with its legal
analysis and opinion as to whether the Debtors could waive the
Potential Conflict.  Upon careful analysis, Jackier Gould
determined that the Debtors could waive the Potential Conflict.
The Sub-Committee subsequently approved the waiver.

Mr. Weiner asserted that Jackier Gould's services will not
duplicate the services that other professionals provide to the
Debtors, as those services will only pertain to issues of a
sub-committee of directors considering matters related to
restructuring, like potential conflicts of interest.  Jackier
Gould has also agreed to use reasonable efforts to coordinate with
the Debtors' other retained professionals to avoid duplication of
services, he adds.

The Debtors will pay Jackier Gould for its services in accordance
with the firm's hourly rates as well as reimburse the firm of all
necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including,
travel, meals, accommodations and other expenses, in relation to
the contemplation retention.

HAIGHTS CROSS: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'Ca'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Haights Cross
Communications' Corporate Family rating and Probability of Default
rating each to Ca from Caa3 following the company's announcement
that it is pursuing plans to restructure its debt, including an
exchange of common stock for senior discount notes.

Moody's has taken these rating actions:

Ratings downgraded:

Haights Cross Communications, Inc.

* Corporate Family rating -- to Ca from Caa3
* Probability of Default rating -- to Ca from Caa3
* Senior Discount Notes -- to C, LGD5, 86% from Ca, LGD5, 86%

Haights Cross Operating Company

* Senior unsecured notes due August 2011 -- to Ca, LGD3, 48% from
  Caa3, LGD3, 48%

The rating outlook remains negative.

The rating downgrades reflect continuing deterioration of Haights
Cross' liquidity and a persistently high default risk profile,
neither of which will be sufficiently remedied by the company's
currently proposed debt restructuring plan, according to Moody's.
Moreover, Moody's considers that Haights Cross' planned exchange
of common equity for senior notes (if concluded) would effectively
constitute a distressed exchange of debt and will give cause to
append the Probability of Default rating with an "/LD" designation
to signal such a limited default upon successful completion of the
exchange offer, which is currently scheduled to expire on July 6,
2009.

Haights Cross' proposed debt-for-equity exchange would provide
some immediate benefits, including a substantial reduction of debt
(over $150 million), an improvement in consolidated leverage, and
a substantial reduction of interest expense.  The exchange will
also likely avert an otherwise almost certain near-term payment
default upon the upcoming August 1, 2009 coupon payment date.

Nonetheless, Moody's considers that these benefits will be
insufficient to materially improve the company's total leverage
(which will likely remain in the low double-digit range) or free
cash flow, since interest payments of the holding company discount
notes have been accreted to date, rather than paid in cash.
Moody's also believe that the partial repayment of debt associated
with the restructuring along with transaction-related expenses
will consume around $25 million of cash balances, resulting in a
significant deterioration in Haights Cross' liquidity, which
presently lacks any revolving credit facility to provide
alternative liquidity relief.  Moreover, Moody's considers that
the planned restructuring will not significantly reverse recent
post-plate free cash flow losses, which continue to be exacerbated
by recessionary market spending, especially in the educational
testing and intervention sectors.

The proposed debt exchange is a key component of a broader debt
restructuring recently announced by management to address the
company's untenable capital structure and debt maturity pressure
(all of Haights Cross' debt is currently scheduled to mature in
2011).  Management has indicated that the failure to successfully
conclude the proposed debt restructuring would induce the company
to consider alternative measures, including a possible bankruptcy
filing.

Accordingly, the Ca PDR contemplates a very high probability of
default, whether or not the company is successful in concluding
the proposed exchange offer and associated debt restructuring.

The negative rating outlook continues to reflect softening market
spending on K-12 educational products as well as the company's
weak liquidity and high level of refinancing risk.

On June 8, 2009, Haights Cross announced that it was pursuing a
number of debt restructuring transactions, including plans to
exchange all of its 12.5% holding company senior discount notes
for common stock representing up to an approximate 89% ownership
stake in the company.  Assuming that the transactions occur as
currently contemplated, Haights Cross' post-restructuring debt
would comprise $56 million of unrated first-out term loan A, $57
million of unrated last-out term loan B, and $113 million of
remaining 11-7/8% senior unsecured notes.

Moody's last rating action for Haights Cross occurred on August
27, 2008 when the company's PDR was changed to Caa3 from Ca.

Haights Cross's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors
Moody's believe are relevant to the credit profile of the issuer,
such as i) the business risk and the competitive position of the
company versus others in its industry, ii) the capital structure
and the financial risk of the company, iii) the projected
financial and operating performance of the company over the near-
to-intermediate term, and iv) management's track record and
tolerance of risk.  These attributes were compared against other
issuers both within and outside of Haights Cross' core industry
and Haights Cross' ratings are believed to be comparable to those
of other issuers of similar credit risk.

Headquartered in White Plains, New York, Haights Cross develops
and publishes print and audio products for the K-12 education and
library markets.  The company recorded approximately $171 million
in revenue for the twelve month period ended December 30, 2008.

HAWKER BEECHCRAFT: Moody's Affirms 'Caa2' Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition
Company LLC's Corporate Family Rating of Caa2 and revised the
company's Probability of Default rating to Caa2/LD from Ca.  At
the same time, the rating on company's cash-pay senior unsecured
notes was lowered to Ca from Caa3.  The rating outlook was revised
to stable from developing and the Speculative Grade Liquidity
rating was left unchanged at SGL-3.  The actions follow conclusion
of the company's tender offer for portions of its junior debt
capital, a transaction Moody's deemed to be a distressed exchange
leading to a declaration of a limited default.

Hawker Beechcraft recently settled its tender process announced on
May 5, 2009, and subsequently amended on May 19, 2009, for certain
portions of its junior debt obligations.  For cash consideration
of roughly $96.1 million, the company extinguished roughly
$274.5 million par value of its junior capital.  Amounts accepted
included some $89 million of its senior unsecured cash pay notes
which had been given the lowest priority for acceptance in the
proposal.  Moody's had previously placed the rating on this
obligation under review for possible downgrade because of the
uncertainty associated with amounts that might be accepted.  As
the amounts accepted were significant, the rating on that
instrument has been temporarily lowered to Ca to reflect the
implied loss of 58%.  Other instrument ratings are unchanged at
this time, including bank secured obligations at B3, and the PIK-
election unsecured notes and subordinated notes both at Ca.  In
the near future, Moody's will re-visit all instrument ratings and
Loss Given Default assessments to reposition the ratings at levels
reflective of their expected loss rates based on the pro forma
capital structure post the tender transaction.  It is anticipated
that at that time the rating for the senior secured obligations
will be notched above the CFR rating, the rating for the unsecured
notes will be notched slightly below the CFR rating and the rating
for the subordinated notes will be positioned below the rating for
the unsecured notes.

In combination with $222 million of par value of junior debt
reduced from open market purchases earlier in 2009, Hawker
Beechcraft has lowered the aggregate amount of these instruments
by some $496.5 million.  Collectively this will reduce pro forma
interest expense by roughly $45 million per annum on these
obligations.  However, funding for these transactions involved a
combination of cash on hand, drawings under its bank revolving
credit facility and utilization of extended payment terms
available under certain trade payables which Moody's considers to
be debt.  On a net basis, pro forma balance sheet debt is
estimated to have declined only some $75 million from the March
2007 acquisition time frame.  However, the company will benefit
from lower net interest expense on these variable rate obligations
compared to the higher fixed coupons on the debt extinguished.
Furthermore, Moody's debt adjustments for under-funded pensions
and operating leases add to perceived leverage, and, in comparison
to prospective operating cash flows, Moody's would gauge
prospective debt/EBITDA to be around 9 times.

The Caa2 CFR incorporates this highly leveraged capital structure
and resultant level of fixed charges which sit atop an otherwise
well positioned business model in a cyclical industry currently
under duress.  The reduction in junior capital and related net
interest savings incrementally decrease the company's debt service
requirements going forward.  However, demand levels and prospects
for future earnings and cash flows in its core operations remain
under pressure.  Nonetheless, government certification
requirements establish substantial barriers to entry and the
existing fleet of in-use aircraft provides a material level of
aftermarket revenues.  Along with U.S. Government contracts for
trainer aircraft, the company's revenue and earnings' streams have
a bit of diversification from the more volatile demand for
business & general aviation aircraft.  Historically, the business
jet market has been driven by prospects for corporate earnings in
North America.  More recently international markets contributed to
growth and accounted for nearly half of 2008 revenues and the
majority of the company's $7.3 billion backlog at March 2009 (down
from $7.6 billion at the end of December 2008).  The sector
remains highly cyclical despite the improved geographic spread of
the order book as few regions continue with positive growth
prospects that would translate into improving demand for aircraft.
In addition, Hawker Beechcraft continues with a degree of
concentration in its customer base and prospects for certain
aircraft models.  Financial stress is also evident from an
election to pay interest on its PIK-election notes through the
issuance of additional notes, which will increase indebtedness for
so long as this feature is utilized.

The Caa2/LD PDR represents Moody's designation that a second
distressed exchange occurred from the tender process (Open market
purchases earlier in 2009 were also deemed a distressed exchange).
The LD modifier, designating limited default, will be removed
after three days.

The stable outlook considers the benefits provided by the
company's backlog, lower net interest burden and current
liquidity.  In addition restructuring actions intended to lower
the company's cost base should provide additional flexibility to
manage through the initial phases of the down-turn.  However, over
the intermediate term, pension funding requirements could
establish incremental cash needs as early as next year and backlog
levels are likely to decline into 2010.  What and when the company
does with its pro forma cash holdings could also affect the
direction of ratings as well as its liquidity profile.

The SGL-3 rating, designating adequate liquidity, remains
unchanged.  The designation flows from current cash and temporary
investment levels well in excess of short-term note balances and
current maturities of long-term debt, substantial cushion under
its sole financial covenant, and expectations that free cash flow
for the next twelve months could be break-even to modestly
positive.

Ratings affirmed:

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Caa2

Rating up-graded:

  -- Probability of Default to Caa2/LD from Ca

Ratings downgraded:

  -- Cash-pay senior unsecured notes to Ca (LGD-4, 58%) from Caa3
     (LGD-5, 78%)

The last rating action was on May 7, 2009 at which time Hawker
Beechcraft's PDR was lowered to Ca from Caa2, the CFR of Caa2 was
affirmed and ratings on certain debt instruments were adjusted to
incorporate the announcement and related terms of the tender
offer.

Hawker Beechcraft Acquisition Company, LLC, headquartered in
Wichita, KS, is a leading manufacturer of business jets,
turboprops and piston aircraft for corporations, governments and
individuals.


HAYES LEMMERZ: Receives Final Approval of $100MM DIP Facility
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc., said the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware granted a number of
the Company's motions in hearings held on June 10 and June 15,
2009.

On May 14, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court granted interim approval of
the Company's first day motions seeking authority to have
immediate access to $30 million in debtor-in-possession financing,
to pay certain employee wages and benefits, as well as certain
prepetition amounts owed to suppliers and shippers, and to take
other actions designed to continue daily operations in the normal
course of business.  At the hearings held last week and on Monday,
the court issued final orders permitting the Company to take such
actions.

Among other things, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Company to
obtain postpetition secured financing of up to $100 million of new
liquidity to fund the Company's operations.  The financing will
also be available to the Company's non-Debtor foreign
subsidiaries.  The Bankruptcy Court also approved the Company's
motion to set a general bar date and procedures for filing proofs
of claim.  The bar date is July 27, 2009.

The Bankruptcy Court granted authorization for the Company to pay
prepetition employee obligations, continue employee benefit
programs postpetition and honor workers' compensation obligations.
The Company also received authorization to continue to pay the
prepetition invoices of essential vendors, certain prepetition
shipping, warehousing and import obligations and certain
contractors' liens.

The Bankruptcy Court also issued a final "503(b)(9)" order
confirming the grant of administrative expense status to
prepetition deliveries of goods within 20 days of the Company's
May 11, 2009 Chapter 11 filing, and also issued a final order
prohibiting utility companies from discontinuing service to the
Company because of unpaid prepetition invoices.  Additionally, the
Bankruptcy Court granted the Company's motion seeking to have the
U.S. Trustee to appoint a retiree committee to participate with
the Company in the process of modifying U.S. retiree benefits.

The Company and certain affiliates filed for bankruptcy on
May 11, 2009 (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-11655) after reaching
agreements with lenders holding a majority of the Company's
secured debt.  The Company's principal bankruptcy attorneys are
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP.  Lazard Freres & Co.,
LLC serves as the Company's financial advisors.  AlixPartners, LLP

$1,336,600,000 and total debts of $1,405,200,000.  This is the
Company's second trip to the bankruptcy court, dubbed a
Chapter 22, which was precipitated by an unprecedented slowdown in
industry demand and a tightening of credit markets.  The Company
plans to reduce its debt and restructure its balance sheet.

Hayes Lemmerz and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries
and one subsidiary in Mexico first filed for bankruptcy in
December 2001 before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of

according to Mr. Clawson, who also served as chairman and chief
executive officer at that time.  The Court confirmed the Company's
reorganization plan in May 2003, allowing the Company to exit
bankruptcy in June 2003.  In accordance with the 2003 Plan,
approximately $2.1 billion in pre-petition debt and other
liabilities were discharged.  The Plan provided for holders of
prepetition secured claims to receive $478.5 million in cash and
53.1% of the reorganized company common stock.  Holders of senior
note claims were to receive $13 million in cash and 44.9% of the
New Common Stock, and holders of general unsecured claims were to
receive 2% of the New Common Stock.  Hayes Lemmerz' prior common
stock and securities were cancelled as of June 3, 2003.

HEXION SPECIALTY: Moody's Downgrades Default Rating to 'Ca/LD'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered the Probability of Default
Rating of Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc., to Ca/LD from B3 as
Moody's deemed the recently concluded tender offer, combined with
open market repurchases of debt in the first quarter, to be a
distressed exchange.  Moody's noted that since the beginning of
2009 Hexion has bought back roughly $217 million of debt (face
amount) for approximately $32 million.

Moody's also changed some of Hexion's other ratings to reflect the
occurrence of a distressed exchange.  The ratings on Hexion's
senior secured second lien notes and senior unsecured notes were
changed to C from Caa1 and Caa2, respectively, reflecting the low
average price paid to repurchase the debt.  The /LD (Limited
Default) rating on the PDR as well as the downgrades of the senior
secured second lien notes and senior unsecured notes will remain
in place for three days before returning to their prior ratings
(i.e., the Probability of Default Rating will return to B3 from
Ca/LD, senior secured second lien notes would return to Caa1 from
C and the senior unsecured notes would return to Caa2 from C).
Moody's also noted that the point estimates for the LGD
assessments were changed to reflect the revised capital structure.

In addition, Moody's affirmed Hexion's Corporate Family Rating at
B3, its senior secured first lien credit facilities at B1 and its
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-3.  The rating outlook
is negative.

The negative outlook reflects the level of uncertainty over the
timing of the recovery in demand and profit improvement at Hexion.
Additionally, the outlook reflects Moody's expectations for a very
slow recovery in housing and construction markets in 2010.
Despite unusually weak credit metrics, Hexion has more than
adequate liquidity at the current time due to the "covenant-lite"
terms in its credit facility and the availability of $200 million
of additional capital from its financial sponsor.  The combination
of these items would make a potential breech of the financial
covenant over the next 12 months unlikely.  However, Moody's could
lower the company's ratings further if its performance is weaker
than currently projected for the second or third quarter or if
there has not been a significant improvement in performance by the
end of 2009.

Ratings downgraded:

Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc.

  -- Probability of Default rating to Ca/LD from B3

  -- Senior Secured Second Lien Notes to C (LGD5, 75%) from Caa1
     (LGD5, 74%)

  -- Senior Unsecured notes and debentures to C (LGD5, 89%) from
     Caa2 (LGD6, 90%)

Ratings affirmed:

Hexion Specialty Chemicals Inc.

  -- Corporate Family Rating at B3
  -- Senior Secured First Lien Credit facility at B1 (LGD2, 28%)
  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-3

Moody's last rating action for Hexion was on April 20, 2009 when
Moody's lowered Hexion's CFR to B3 from B2.

Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc., headquartered in Columbus, Ohio
is a leading producer of commodities such as formaldehyde,
bisphenol A and epichlorhydrin, as well as formaldehyde-based
thermoset resins, epoxy resins, and versatic acid and its
derivatives.  The company is also a supplier of specialty resins
for inks and specialty coatings sold to a very diverse customer
base.  The company reported sales of $5.4 billion for the LTM
ending March 31, 2009.

HORIZON LINES: S&P Puts 'B' Corp. Rating on CreditWatch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it placed its ratings
on Charlotte, North Carolina-based Horizon Lines Inc., including
the 'B+' corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative
implications, following the company's announcement that it has
reached a $20 million settlement agreement on a class-action suit
related to ocean shipping services in the Puerto Rico trade lane.
As part of the settlement agreement, Horizon Lines also agreed to
certain base-rate freezes and amended the terms of its credit
agreement, accepting reduced availability and higher interest
rates.  S&P believes that the settlement agreement, base-rate
freezes, and credit amendment could diminish the company's
financial profile and reduce available liquidity.

"The CreditWatch placement also reflects our concerns regarding
the pending investigation by the Department of Justice into
possible antitrust violations in the domestic ocean shipping
business, including Puerto Rico, and from class-action lawsuits,
in Hawaii, Guam, and Alaska, also related to ocean-shipping," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Funmi Afonja.

Standard & Poor's will assess the company's operating prospects,
liquidity, and financial outlook, in view of recent developments.
"We could lower ratings if S&P believes that the settlement
agreement, base-rate freezes, and credit amendment could, in the
context of a difficult economic environment, materially affect the
company's financial profile," she continued.


HUNTSMAN CORP: Seeks Over $13 Billion in Damages From Two Banks
---------------------------------------------------------------
Laurel Brubaker Calkins, Sophia Pearson, and Jef Feeley at
Bloomberg News reports that Huntsman Corp. is seeking more than
$13 billion in damages from Credit Suisse Group AG and Deutsche
Bank AG for allegedly interfering with an acquisition of the
Company and refusing to fund another buyout bid.

Citing Huntsman's lawyers, Bloomberg states that the Company
turned down a $25.25-a-share offer from an Access Industries
Holdings LLC unit in 2007 to accept a bid of $28 a share from an
Apollo Management LLP unit.  Bloomberg relates that Credit Suisse
and Deutsche Bank had agreed to fund Apollo's acquisition of
Huntsman.  Robin Gibbs, one of Huntsman's lawyers, said that the
bankers had assured that Apollo's funding commitment was "rock
solid, according to Bloomberg.  Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank
then backed out of funding the deal amid concern that the U.S.
economic slump would leave the resulting company insolvent, says
the report.  "These banks gave Huntsman a commitment letter they
never intended to honor.  If they'd just told us the truth, we
wouldn't be here," the report quoted Huntsman's lead lawyer, Kathy
Patrick, as saying.

Lawyers said that the trial in the state court in Conroe, Texas,
may last as long as six weeks, Bloomberg relates.

Huntsman made a business decision and took a business risk when it
decided to go with the larger offer presented by Apollo's Hexion
Specialty Chemicals Inc. unit, Bloomberg relates, citing Richard
Clary, an attorney for the banks.  Mr. Clary said that for an
extra $2.75 a share, Huntsman took the risk that an economic
decline could trigger the insolvency issue, Bloomberg states.
"Huntsman has to live with its calculated decisions.  They took a
gamble and it didn't work out," Bloomberg quoted Mr. Clary as
saying.

                          About Huntsman

Huntsman Corp. -- http://www.huntsman.com/-- is a global
manufacturer and marketer of differentiated chemicals.  Its
operating companies manufacture products for a variety of global
industries, including chemicals, plastics, automotive, aviation,
textiles, footwear, paints and coatings, construction, technology,
agriculture, health care, detergent, personal care, furniture,
appliances and packaging. Originally known for pioneering
innovations in packaging and, later, for rapid and integrated
growth in petrochemicals, Huntsman has more than 12,000 employees
and operates from multiple locations worldwide.  The Company had
2008 revenues exceeding $10 billion.

                       *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 20, 2009,
Huntsman International LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Huntsman
Corporation, entered into a waiver to its $650 million revolving
credit facility dated August 16, 2005, with Deutsche Bank AG New
York Branch, as administrative agent, and the financial
institutions party thereto as lenders.  The waiver relaxes the
senior secured leverage ratio covenant from 3.75 to 1.00 to 5.00
to 1.00 for the period measured June 30, 2009, through June 30,
2010.  The waiver, among other things, also modifies the
definition of Consolidated EBITDA and permits Huntsman
International LLC to add back any lost profits attributable to
Hurricanes Gustav and Ike that occurred in 2008.  Additionally,
the amount of Permitted Non-Cash Impairment and Restructuring
Charges was increased from $100 million to $200 million.

As reported by the TCR on March 19, 2009, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said it lowered its ratings on Huntsman Corp.,
including its corporate credit rating to 'B' from 'BB-'.  The
ratings remain on CreditWatch with negative implications.  At the
same time, S&P assigned its '5' recovery rating, indicating the
expectation of modest recovery (10%-30%) in the event of a
default, to Huntsman International LLC's existing $300 million
senior unsecured notes. S&P also assigned a '6' recovery rating,
indicating the expectation of negligible recovery (0%-10%) in the
event of a default, to Huntsman International LLC's existing
subordinated notes aggregating $1.285 billion.


IMAX CORPORATION: Moody's Affirms 'Caa1' Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Caa1 corporate family
rating and positive outlook for IMAX Corporation following its
recently executed equity issuance (approximately $70 million gross
proceeds) and the repurchase of approximately $44 million of its
9.625% Senior Notes due December 2010.

The transactions improve projected credit metrics and liquidity,
and IMAX continues to demonstrate positive business momentum,
which over time should yield further improvement in credit
metrics.  These factors support the positive outlook.  However,
notwithstanding the debt reduction, refinancing risk remains.
Both its revolver (approximately $20 million outstanding) and the
bonds (approximately $116 million outstanding following the
buyback) mature in late 2010, although IMAX has indicated its
intent to use the rest of the proceeds from the equity offering
(in addition to potentially an additional $10 million from the
greenshoe) to repay or redeem some of the remaining bonds.
Furthermore, the joint venture business model demands significant
upfront investments with cash flow benefits accruing over a longer
time frame, resulting in expectations for continued negative free
cash flow throughout 2009.

Moody's also affirmed the SGL-3 speculative grade liquidity
rating, indicating that IMAX maintains adequate liquidity.

A summary of the actions follows.

IMAX Corporation

  -- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed at Caa1

  -- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed at Caa1

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Affirmed at SGL-3

  -- Senior Unsecured Bonds, Affirmed Caa2, adjusted to LGD4, 62%
     from LGD4, 60%

  -- Outlook, Positive

The company's growth strategy and business transition to increased
use of joint ventures requires substantial upfront capital
expenditures, and Imax has modest liquidity to manage these needs.
These factors contributed to weak credit metrics (including double
digital leverage) and progressively increasing cash consumption
over the past several years, and Moody's does not expect positive
free cash flow prior to 2010.  The Caa1 corporate family rating
incorporates this financial risk, compounded somewhat by
refinancing risk and the company's lack of scale. Furthermore,
some execution risk related to the rollout of the joint ventures
and digital systems remain.  However, the potential for increased
recurring revenue and better visibility under the new business
model supports the rating, and Moody's anticipates growth in both
EBITDA and free cash flow as capital expenditures decline and the
joint ventures begin to generate cash, resulting in better credit
metrics.  IMAX has demonstrated evidence of success in system
signings as well as installation and operation of both digital
systems and joint ventures, and Moody's continues to consider IMAX
a compelling experience with a strong brand.  Finally, management
expects its historic business of selling and leasing theater
systems, for which the company receives cash upfront (albeit with
some volatility in timing) to remain at historical levels.

The last rating action was on July 9, 2008, when Moody's assigned
an SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to IMAX.

IMAX's ratings were assigned by evaluating factors that Moody's
considers relevant to the credit profile of the issuer, such as
the company's (i) business risk and competitive position compared
with others within the industry; (ii) capital structure and
financial risk; (iii) projected performance over the near-to-
intermediate term; and (iv) management's track record and
tolerance for risk.  Moody's compared these attributes against
other issuers both within and outside of IMAX's core industry and
believes IMAX's ratings are comparable to those of other issuers
with similar credit risk. Additional research can be found in the
IMAX Credit Opinion on www.moodys.com.

IMAX Corporation specializes in digital, large-screen and three-
dimensional film presentation; the company typically leases or
sells its projection and sound systems, and licenses the use of
its trademarks.  With annual revenue of approximately
$115 million, IMAX maintains headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario,
Canada.


INTERLAKE MATERIAL: Court Sets June 22 Auction for J&D's Assets
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has
approved bid procedures in connection with the sale of a portion
of J&D & Company, LLC's assets, specifically those assets related
to J&D's Retail Service Solutions Division.

RSS Holdings, LLC, will be the stalking horse bidder for J&D's
assets.  Other bids will be due June 22, 2009, at 4:00 p.m.

If a qualified bid in addition to RSS's is received by the Debtor,
an auction will be conducted on June 23, 2009, at the offices of
Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, The Brandywine Building,
1000 West Street, 17th Floor, Wilmington, DE 19801 at 10:00 a.m.
(ET).  The hearing to approve the sale of the assets to the
winning bidder is set for June 24, 2009, at 11:00 a.m.

J&D is a wholly owned subsidiary of United Fixtures Company, Inc.,
which, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of UFC Interlake
Holding Co.  J&D filed for bankruptcy on May 20, 2009, in order to
effectuate the sale of a significant portion of its assets.

RSS Holdings agreed to purchase the assets related to J&D's
Retail Service Solutions Division, including inventory, accounts
receivable, fixed assets, permits, intellectual property, and
Purchased Contracts, for a purchase price of approximately
$3,200,000, comprised of $900,000 in cash and the assumption of
specified Assumed Liabilities.  RSS will receive a $55,000 break-
up fee in the event of the sale to another
bidder at the auction.

Debtors state that two insiders of J&D will be minority owners of
RSS -- Jeff Nicklaus, the current president of J&D, and Robert
Blake-Ward, a current vice president of J&D.  Messrs. Nicklaus and
Blake-Ward will both also hold officer positions in purchaser upon
consummation of the sale.

IPAYMENT INC: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'B-'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit rating on Nashville-based iPayment Inc. to 'B-' from 'B'.
The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level ratings on
iPayment's senior secured term loan and revolver to 'B-' (the same
as the corporate credit rating on the company) from 'B.  The
recovery rating on the debt remains unchanged at '3', indicating
expectations for meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of
payment default.  S&P also lowered the issue-level rating on
iPayment's 9.75% senior subordinated notes due 2014 to 'CCC' (two
notches below that corporate credit rating) from 'CCC+'.  The
recovery rating on the loan remains unchanged at '6', indicating
expectations for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.

"The downgrade reflects our concerns about limited headroom under
the consolidated leverage covenant contained in iPayment's senior
secured credit facility," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Susan Madison.  Headroom under the covenant was less then 10% at
March 31, 2009.  "Even if iPayment were to direct a substantial
portion of discretionary cash flow to debt reduction in 2009," she
added, "establishing adequate protection under the covenants may
be challenging given the current weak economic environment,
coupled with additional step-downs in required covenant ratios
over the course of the year."


JOHN RUSSEL MCGILL: Gets Interim OK on Rice Pugatch as Counsel

KARAWIA INDUSTRIES: Can Access Cash Securing Citibank N.A. Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
approved the stipulations for use of cash collateral entered
between Karawia Industries, Inc., and its debtor-affiliates with
secured creditor, Citibank N.A.

The Court ordered that:

   a) the Debtors are authorized to use cash collateral, and to
      deviate from the figures in the budgets by up to 10% both on
      a line item and aggregate basis;

   b) Citibank to make all of the Debtors' funds available to the
      Debtors to be used to pay the Debtors' expenses and to not
      apply any funds against its prepetition or postpetition
      debt;

   c) the Debtors' customers are assured that they are to pay any
      and all monies owing to the Debtors directly to the Debtors
      notwithstanding any contrary instruction that they have
      received from Citibank or from anyone else.

The Debtors were party to a $7 million revolving line of credit
and a $1.5 million term loan with Citibank N.A.  Citibank
subsequently provided TRC ans IAS with $1 million revolving line
of credit and a $50,000 term loan, replacing Comerica Bank as the
Debtors' lender.

As of the petition date, the Debtors owe $7.5 million plus
additional $2.2 million of unbilled work performed.

The Debtors relate that its use of cash collateral is adequately
protected by its continued use and by equity cushion.  As of the
petition date, the Debtors had a total of $200,000 of cash plus
$9.7 million of collectible amounts

Additionally, the Debtors will grant Citibank a replacement lien
against the Debtor's assets, with the replacement lien to have the
same extent, validity, and priority as the prepetition held by the
creditor.

LANCELOT INVESTORS: Court Sets August 3 Claims Bar Date
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois
has set August 3, 2009, as the bar date for creditors, including
government units, and interest holders to submit proofs of claims
against or proofs on interest in Lancelot Investors Fund, LP, et
al.'s Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases.

Proofs of claim and proofs of interest must be delivered so as to
be actually received on or before August 3, 2009, by:

   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois
   Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse
   Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court - Room 713
   219 South Dearborn Street
   Chicago, Illinois 60604-1702

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 30, 2008,
Lancelot Investors Fund, LP, et al., filed for Chapter 7 on
Oct. 20, 2008, blaming a $1.5 billion loss in the collapse of
Petters Group Worldwide, LLC.  Federal authorities accused Petters
Group's founder, Thomas Petters, of orchestrating a massive ponzi
scheme.  Mr. Petters is now in jail.

Lancelot Investment Management, the management firm of the
Debtors, and its hedge funds were sued in state court in Chicago
in October 2008 by investors and a Royal Bank of Scotland Group
Plc.  The lawsuit accused Lancelot of failing to validate the
purchase orders and the existence of inventory Petters Co. Inc.
had used as collateral for the loans.  The bankruptcy filings put
those cases on hold.

Illinois-based Lancelot Investors Fund, LP, et al., consist of 19
related entities engaged in the operation of related hedge funds
or special purpose vehicles.

Ronald R. Peterson, interim Chapter 7 trustee of each of the
Debtors, reported that as of October 11, 2008, the Debtors
collectively purportedly had assets with a value of $1.78 billion
and liabilities of $275.7 million.  Approximately $1.5 billion of
the Debtors' assets purportedly consist of loans to or investments
in Peters Group Worldwide and related entities.


LEUCADIA NATIONAL: Moody's Cuts Corporate Family Rating to 'B1'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded various debt ratings of
Leucadia National Corporation including the company's CFR to B1
from Ba3 and assigned a negative ratings outlook.  The rating
action concludes the review that began on March 6, 2009.

These ratings have been downgraded:

  -- Corporate Family Rating downgraded to B1 from Ba3;

  -- Probability of Default Rating downgraded to B1 from Ba3;

  -- $98 million 8.65% junior subordinated debentures due 2027
     downgraded to B3 (LGD6, 96%) from B2 (LGD6, 96%);

  -- $102 million ($350m original amount) 3.75% convertible senior
     Sub notes due 2014 downgraded to B3 (LGD6, 92%) from B2
     (LGD6, 92%);

  -- $64 million 7.75% senior notes due 2013 downgraded to B1
     (LGD4, 51%) from Ba3 (LGD4, 51%);

  -- $375 million 7% senior global notes due 2013 downgraded to B1
     (LGD4, 51%) from Ba3 (LGD4, 51%);

  -- $500 million 7.13% senior global notes due 2017 downgraded to
     B1 (LGD4, 51%) from Ba3 (LGD4, 51%);

  -- $500 million 8.13% senior notes due 2015 downgraded to B1
     (LGD4, 51%) from Ba3 (LGD4, 51%);

  -- Senior, subordinated, and preferred debt shelf, downgraded to
     (P) B1, (P) B3, and (P) B3 from (P) Ba3, (P) B2, and (P) B2,
     respectively.

The ratings outlook is negative.

The downgrade is prompted by weak operating performance among many
of Leucadia's various business units, Moody's view of a
substantial decline in its ability to monetize its portfolio, and
expected cash flow weakness or short-falls in many portfolio
holdings.  Leucadia's long history of acquiring, developing, and
ultimately profitably selling companies and real estate may remain
disrupted over the intermediate horizon, as the global economy
works through a period of diminished economic and capital markets
activity.

The negative ratings outlook reflects the risk that the company
may consume its liquidity reserves as its ability to profitably
monetize holdings remains impaired, and the risk that asset values
may fall further.

The principal methodology used in rating Leucadia is the Global
Investment Holding methodology published October 2007 (methodology
number 104817).

The last rating action was March 6, 2009 when Moody's Investors
Service took various rating actions including downgrading Leucadia
National Corporation's CFR to Ba3 and placing the company on
review for further downgrade.

Leucadia National Corporation, based in New York City, is a
diversified investment company engaged in a variety of businesses,
including manufacturing, telecommunications, property management
and services, gaming entertainment, real estate activities,
medical product development and winery operations.  The Company
also has significant investments in the common stock of two public
companies that are accounted for at fair value, one of which is a
full service investment bank and the other an independent auto
finance company.  The company also owns equity interests in
operating businesses and investment partnerships which are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting, including a
broker-dealer engaged in making markets and trading of high yield
and special situation securities, land based contract oil and gas
drilling, real estate activities and development of a copper mine
in Spain.  In 2008 Leucadia generated approximately $1 billion in
revenues.


LIMITED BRANDS: Launches Private Placement of $500MM Senior Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Limited Brands, Inc., is seeking to raise approximately
$500 million of gross proceeds through an institutional private
placement of senior notes due 2019.  The notes will be guaranteed
by certain of the Company's subsidiaries.  The Company intends to
use the proceeds of this offering, after the payment of fees and
expenses, to repurchase or repay existing debt and for general
corporate purposes.

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and are being
offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule
144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in offshore
transactions in reliance on Regulation S.  Unless so registered,
Limited Brands' senior notes may not be offered or sold in the
United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption
from registration requirements of the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws.

Kerry E. Grace at The Wall Street Journal reports that Limited,
which has been struggling as consumers cut back, is reducing
capital spending and its work force and increasing its focus on
inventories and liquidity.

Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Limited Brands, Inc. operates
3,014 specialty stores under the Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body
Works, C.O. Bigelow, La Senza, White Barn Candle Co., and Henri
Bendel name plates.  The company's products are also available
online.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on May 25, 2009,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Limited Brands, Inc.'s
Corporate Family rating and Probability of Default rating to Ba2
from Ba1.  The rating outlook is stable.

According to the TCR on March 3, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on
Columbus, Ohio-based Limited Brands to 'BB' from 'BB+'.  S&P
affirmed the company's 'B-1' short-term rating.  The outlook is
negative.

The TCR reported on March 3, 2009, that Fitch Ratings downgraded
its rating on Limited Brands, Inc.'s unsecured notes to 'BB' from
'BB+' following the company's announcement that it has amended its
existing bank credit agreements.

MAGNA ENTERTAINMENT: Files Fourth Default Status Report
-------------------------------------------------------
Magna Entertainment Corp. has filed its fourth bi-weekly default
status report under National Policy 12-203 of the Canadian
Securities Administrators, pursuant to which MEC announced that it
would not be filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal

reports on Form 10-Q, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange

it continues to operate its business as a debtor-in-possession
under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

The filing of the report occurred after the two-week period
following the Company's last status report. Otherwise, MEC reports
that since announcing the original notice of default on March 26,
2009, and filing its first default status report on April 7, 2009,
second default status report on April 28, 2009, and third default
status report on May 29, 2009, there have not been any material
changes to the information contained therein, nor any failure by
MEC to fulfill its intentions stated therein, and there are no
additional defaults or anticipated defaults subsequent to such
announcement.  The Company intends to file its next default status
report on June 26, 2009.

Based in Aurora, Ontario, Magna Entertainment Corp. is North

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had total assets of

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR: Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
--------------------------------------------------------
MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC and five subsidiaries have filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware due to a sharp decline in demand.

Court documents say that MagnaChip listed up to $500 million in

citing South Korean subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor Ltd.

signed a deal to sell the Company and its operating and sales
affiliates to a fund led by KTB Securities.  Bankruptcy Law360
says that the assets would be sold for $80 million.

Citing MagnaChip, Reuters states that the South Korean operations
for production and sales and sales units in Europe, Taiwan, and
Japan are excluded from the Company's bankruptcy filing.

MONTPELIER RE: Moody's Withdraws 'Ba1' Junior Subordinated Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Baa3 senior debt rating
(positive outlook) of Montpelier Re Holdings Ltd. and the Baa1
insurance financial strength rating (positive outlook) of
Montpelier Reinsurance Ltd. and has withdrawn the ratings for
business reasons.

The last rating action on Montpelier occurred on April 22, 2009
when Moody's affirmed the ratings of Montpelier and changed the
outlook to positive from stable.

Montpelier Re Holdings Ltd., through its subsidiaries in Bermuda,
the U.S., the United Kingdom and Switzerland, provides reinsurance
and insurance solutions to the global market.  For the quarter

* Montpelier Reinsurance Ltd. -- insurance financial strength at

* MRH Capital Trust I, II -- provisional capital securities at

Moody's insurance financial strength ratings are opinions of the
ability of insurance companies to pay punctually senior
policyholder claims and obligations.

NEWLOOK INDUSTRIES: Says Sale of Two Subsidiaries Delayed
---------------------------------------------------------
Newlook Industries Corp. previously held that their December 31,
2008 audited annual financial statements would not be filed on
time.  As a result of the delay, Newlook Industries made an
application to the Ontario Securities Commission for a Management
Cease Trade Order to be imposed as prescribed under National
Policy 12-203 with respect to the late filing.

Newlook's failure to file its Annual Financial Statements within
the prescribed period of time was due to two subsidiaries being
placed into receivership by a secured creditor on January 9, 2009.
The court-appointed receiver-manager of the subsidiaries obtained
court approval for the sale of all of the assets on April 28,
2009.  The receiver-manager also obtained leave from the court on
May 14, 2009, to assign the subsidiaries into bankruptcy.

Newlook said it is unable to complete the audit of the year end
December 31, 2008, financial statements without confirmation of
the firm details of the sale transaction and the uncertainty
associated with the legal insolvency status of the subsidiaries.

The receiver-manager has communicated to Newlook that there has
been a delay in closing the sale transaction due to proposed
purchase price adjustments by the purchaser and the assignment
into bankruptcy has been delayed by the receiver-manager due to
legal administrative issues with changing the names of the
subsidiaries.

As a result of the delay in filing the Annual Financial

PALM DRIVE: S&P Downgrades Rating on 2005 Tax Bonds to 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's lowered its rating on Palm Drive Health Care
District, California's series 2005 parcel tax revenue bonds three
notches to 'BB' from 'BBB'.  The outlook was also revised to
stable from negative.  The district is currently in bankruptcy,
following its filing on April 5, 2007, under Chapter 9 of the U.
S. Bankruptcy Code.  The rating downgrade reflects S&P's view that
current economic conditions and the revenue environment may place
increased pressure on the district's ability to achieve the
operational reform needed to keep the hospital open or prevent it
from returning to bankruptcy, once it emerges, which, under the
indenture, could trigger payment acceleration.

The revenue bonds are secured by a fixed perpetual parcel tax of
$155 imposed on taxable parcels of real property within the
district.

The district's credit strengths, in S&P's opinion, include an
affordable $155 per parcel tax, strong pro-forma maximum annual
debt service, and high value-to-lien ratio.  Additionally,
according to the series 2005 parcel tax revenue bond indenture
trustee, all debt service payments have been made since the
district filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9 on
April 5, 2007.

"The stable outlook is based on our view of the uninterrupted
payment of debt service since the bankruptcy filing, and
classification of the bonds as an unimpaired allowed secured claim
in the district's plan of adjustment," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Misty Newland.

Palm Drive Hospital is a 37-bed acute care hospital located in
Sebastopol, California in Sonoma County, about 8 miles west of
Santa Rosa-Petaluma, the nearest metropolitan area.  The hospital
is an independent, non-profit facility operated by the Pam Drive
Health Care District.  The district estimates its population at
about 60,000.  The median household effective buying income for
the county was 125% of the nation in 2008.


POLAROID CORP: U.S. Trustee Wants Case Converted to Chapter 7

Minnesota to convert the Chapter 11 cases of Polaroid Corporation

LLC, a joint venture with Hilco PLR Company LLC, and Gordon
Brothers Brands LLC, and liabilities including Claims -- into the

action, reconciling Claims and distributing the Assets of the
Estates to the Holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the
Plan.  The Polaroid Liquidating Trust will be under the full

and the Trust Oversight Committee.

                     Summary of Plan Treatment

be paid as follows:

a) Each Holder of an Allowed Secured Claim against any Debtor or
   Debtors will, at the option of the Liquidating Trustee, either:

   -- have its Claim reinstated and rendered unimpaired in
      accordance with Bankruptcy Code, notwithstanding any
      contractual provision or applicable non-bankruptcy law that
      entitles such Holder to demand or to receive payment of
      such Claim prior to the stated maturity of such Claim from
      and after the occurrence of a default;

   -- receive Cash in an amount equal to the allowed amount of
      such Claim, in full and complete satisfaction of such Claim,
      on the later of the initial distribution date under the Plan
      and the date such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, or as soon
      thereafter as is practicable; or

   -- receive the collateral securing its Claim in full and
      complete satisfaction of such Claim on the later of the
      initial distribution date under the Plan and the date such
      Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, or as soon thereafter as is
      practicable.

b) Administrative Expense, Priority Tax, and Other Priority
   Claims will be paid in full.

"We are disappointed by the decision of Quebecor World to reject
our June 8 proposal," said Thomas J. Quinlan III, RR Donnelley's
President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that our
proposal was undoubtedly in the best interests of creditors based
on a comparison of the distributions under our proposal with the
distributions under the proposed stand-alone plan of
reorganization.  We are particularly disappointed because of the
efforts and concessions made by us to adapt our proposal in
response to concerns that were communicated to us."

RR Donnelley originally made a proposal to Quebecor World on
May 12, 2009, and after preliminary due diligence, the proposal
was subsequently modified to respond to feedback from certain
Quebecor World creditors and resubmitted on June 2 and 8, 2009.

Under the offer, R.R. Donnelley proposes to pay Quebecor World in
the aggregate:

* approximately US$700,000,000 cash, contemplated for
   distribution under the draft First Amended Plan of
   Reorganization proposed with respect to the U.S. bankruptcy
   proceeding and the draft Plan of Reorganization and
   Compromise proposed with respect to the Canadian
   reorganization of QWI; plus

* cash on balance sheet -- estimated as of June 30, 2009, at
   $257,000,000 pursuant to the Plans; plus

* 30 million shares of RRD common stock, which represent
   approximately 15% of RRD's outstanding shares and have a
   value of US$394,200,000 based on the closing trading price
   on May 11, 2009.  RRD common stock is listed for trading on
   the New York Stock Exchange, and the current market
   capitalization of RRD is approximately US$2.7 billion.

"This would have been an excellent fit for RR Donnelley and the
best opportunity for the Quebecor World creditors.  However,
given our view of the Quebecor World operations, a transaction
ascribing a higher value to Quebecor World than we offered in our
last proposal is simply not in the interests of RR Donnelley,"
said Mr. Quinlan.  "We look forward to continuing to pursue other
strategic initiatives."

REFCO INC: Court Extends Claims Objection Deadline to December 5
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert D. Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York extended the time within which the
Plan Administrators of Refco, Inc., and its affiliates may object
to general and administrative claims, through and including
December 5, 2009.

Steven Wilamowsky, Esq., at Bingham McCutchen, LLP, in New York,
disclosed that since the Petition Date, 14,700 claims, aggregating
approximately $150 billion, have been filed against the estates.
In addition, the Plan Administrators have reconciled 8,300 unfiled
claims at the estate of Refco F/X Associates, LLC, resulting in a
total claims pool of 23,000 claims.

Over the course of Refco's Chapter 11 cases, about 22,900 filed
and unfiled claims have been resolved.  The Plan Administrators
currently have on file pending objections to approximately 70
claims.  Of the approximately 23,000 claims in the Debtors' cases,
225 claims were asserted as administrative claims against the
Debtors, Mr. Wilamowsky said.

Mr. Wilamowsky noted that the Plan Administrators continue to
reconcile the remaining outstanding claims filed against the Refco
estates, and anticipate filing additional claims objections or
resolving the outstanding claims over the coming months.
Specifically, 15 claims remain for additional claims resolution,
of which the Plan Administrators have completed an initial level
of analysis.  The Claims remain outstanding pending an analysis of
potential avoidance issues and coordination with the Plan
Administrators, and ongoing settlement discussions.

The Extended Objection Deadlines will allow the Debtors to
complete the claims reconciliation process and to help ensure that
all non-meritorious claims are appropriately challenged, Mr.
Wilamowsky maintained.

SANDERSON INDUSTRIES: Court To Consider Cash Collateral Use Today
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia is
set to consider Sanderson Industries, Inc.'s continued access to
Comerica Bank's cash collateral on June 16, 2009, at 11:45 a.m.,
at Courtroom 1204, U.S. Courthouse, 75 Spring Street, S.W.
Atlanta, Georgia.

Comerica Bank asserts a security interest in and lien upon all of
the Debtor's property, including accounts receivable and proceeds
therefrom.  The Debtor owes Comerica in the principal amount of
$2,500,000.

The Debtor will grant the lender (i) security interest in and lien
upon the Debtor's postpetition assets; (ii) continuation in full
force and effect, in the same priority, of the lien and security
interest held by the lender in its prepetition collateral; (iii)
monthly payment due the lenders, calculated at the non-default
rate; replacement lien on postpetition accounts receivable and
proceeds.

                     About Sanderson Industries

Atlanta, Georgia-based Sanderson Industries, Inc. is manufacturing
parts for the automotive industry.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 on May 11, 2009 (Bankr. N. D. Ga.
Case No. 09-72311).  David G. Bisbee, Esq., represents the Debtor
in its restructuring efforts.  The Debtor listed total assets of
$12,895,000 and total debts of $16,513,276.


SANDERSON INDUSTRIES: Taps David Bisbee as Gen. Bankruptcy Counsel
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanderson Industries, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia for permission to employ The Law
Office of David G. Bisbee as general reorganization counsel.

The firm will represent the Debtors in the Chapter 11 case.

David G. Bisbee received $10,350 for prepetition services and
$14,650 as a retainer for the Chapter 11 case.  The source of the
pre-petition fees and retainer funds is the Debtor.

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge, the firm is a
"disinterested person" as that term is defined in Section 101(14)
of the Bankruyptcy Code.

SEALED AIR: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating on $250 Mil. Senior Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' issue-level
rating and '3' recovery rating to Sealed Air Corp.'s proposed
$250 million senior unsecured notes due 2017, to be issued under
Rule 144A without registration rights.  The '3' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.  The company will use net
proceeds from the proposed notes offering for general corporate
purposes, including the redemption of a portion of its 3%
convertible senior notes due 2033.  S&P also affirmed all other
ratings, including the 'BB+' corporate credit rating on the
company.  The outlook is stable.

The ratings on Elmwood Park, New Jersey-based Sealed Air Corp.
reflect its strong business risk profile and its fairly consistent
free cash flow, offset by a significant financial risk profile.
Sealed Air is a leading global manufacturer of a wide range of
packaging and performance-based materials and equipment systems
that serve an array of food, industrial, medical, and consumer
applications.  The company, with trailing 12-month revenues of
about $4.7 billion, benefits from significant geographic
diversity, and generates more than half of its sales outside the
U.S. Meaningful barriers to entry include strong market positions,
global infrastructure, technological expertise and innovation, and
powerful brands including Cryovac(R) flexible packaging (primarily
multilayer shrink bags and films for food) and Bubble Wrap(R)
cushioning for protective packaging.

The stable outlook is supported by the company's strong business
risk profile, consistent cash flow generation, and recent
financing efforts to address near-term debt maturities.  Following
the February 2009 issuance of privately placed $300 million 12%
senior notes due 2014 and the proposed $250 million notes
issuance, Sealed Air is adequately positioned to meet its near-
term debt maturities and to make the payment in connection with
the asbestos settlement payment, if W.R. Grace & Co. exits from
bankruptcy in late 2009 or 2010.  Adequate liquidity is supported
by its sizable cash balance, ample availability under its
committed credit facilities, and consistent free cash generated
from operations.

With the asbestos matter apparently close to resolution, the most
likely trigger for a downgrade would be a large, debt-financed
acquisition or significant shareholder rewards.  S&P could also
take a negative rating action if market conditions deteriorate and
covenant compliance becomes a concern.  Ratings upside is limited
primarily by financial policy considerations, given S&P's
expectations that operating results will gradually improve with
economic recovery and that the company will address its
obligations related to the Grace bankruptcy proceedings.


SENDTEC INC: Files for Chapter 11; Management Bids for Assets
-------------------------------------------------------------
SendTec, Inc., has elected to file a Chapter 11 petition in the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Concurrently with the filing, the court has received an offer led
by management and a group of outside investment firms to purchase
assets and continue operations in a new company.

SendTec said its core operations are strong and that it has
sufficient cash reserves and cash flow from operations to continue
business operations as usual during the Chapter 11 process.  All
of SendTec's employees will continue and transition to the new
company upon approval of the court's sale of assets.

Paul Soltoff, Chief Executive Officer of SendTec said "SendTec's
core business of providing clients with efficient and effective
customer acquisition solutions remains valuable to its Clients.  A
series of corporate transactions involving SendTec's parent
companies going back to 2004, however, has left SendTec with a
large burden of debt apart from operations.  The proceedings
represent our best option for removing that burden while
continuing to serve our clients and run our business.  In the
interim, it will be business as usual.  We anticipate no reduction
in staff or services."

In conjunction with the bankruptcy filing, the Company filed a
variety of customary "first day" motions to support its employees
and vendors during the reorganization process.  As part of these
motions, the Company will continue operations with as little
interruption as possible.  Additionally, during the restructuring
process, the company is prepared to pay vendors and business
partners for post-filing goods sold and services rendered to the
Company in the ordinary course of business.

Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, SendTec, Inc., is a customer
acquisition ad agency with expertise in multi-channel integrated
direct marketing.

TRW AUTOMOTIVE: S&P Downgrades Corporate Credit Rating to 'B'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it has lowered its
corporate credit rating on Livonia, Michigan-based TRW Automotive
Inc. to 'B' from 'B+'.  At the same time, S&P lowered the rating
on TRW's senior secured debt to 'B+' from 'BB' and revised the
recovery rating to '2' from '1', and lowered the rating on the
senior unsecured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B' and revised the recovery
rating to '6' from '5'.  All ratings were removed from
CreditWatch, where they had been placed with negative implications
on April 30, 2009.  The outlook is negative.

"The downgrade reflects our view that the very weak global market
for light vehicles for 2009 and 2010 will cause TRW to use far
more cash in 2009 and 2010 than S&P expected for the previous
rating," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Nancy Messer.  S&P
expects TRW's revenue to decline about 35% in 2009.  S&P believes
TRW could use as much as $775 million in cash this year, given
weak production in Europe, extended production shutdowns by
Chrysler LLC and General Motors Corp., and the lack of apparent
economic boosters in the U.S. or Europe that will cause a
significant increase in consumer spending on cars.  S&P expects
light-vehicle sales to decline about 28% in North America this
year versus 2008, to 9.5 million units.  In 2010 for North
America, S&P expects vehicle sales to increase by 16%, but only to
11 million units (still below the 2008 level of 13.2 million).

S&P expects auto registrations in Europe to decline as well this
year, but by less than in the U.S., partly because of various
national scrappage programs designed to boost sales.  These
schemes are typically followed by a decline in future sales.

The current rating reflects S&P's assumption that TRW will be
successful in obtaining an amendment to the credit facility that
is required for the company to remain in compliance with covenants
at June 30, 2009.  If the company does not obtain the amendment,
it would likely breach its covenants at the end of the second
quarter, triggering another downgrade on the company.

S&P views TRW's business risk profile as weak relative to all
corporate issuers, reflecting the company's narrow market focus as
a major Tier 1 supplier to automakers in the global light-vehicle
market.  TRW manufactures active and passive safety products (57%
and 25% of 2008 revenues, respectively) for the automotive
industry, a focus S&P believes has above-average long-term growth
characteristics.  S&P believes TRW's No. 1 and No. 2 market
positions for most of its products provide evidence of its
achievement of high-quality products and service and its
technological expertise.  TRW derived 56% of its 2008 revenues
from Europe, 30% from North America, and 14% from the rest of the
world.  Volkswagen AG, its largest customer, accounted for about
18% of 2008 sales.  Combined sales in North America to the
Michigan-based automakers accounted for about 23% of TRW's
consolidated revenues.

TRW's financial results for the first quarter of 2009 were poor.
EBITDA declined 88%, year over year, on a 42% decline in revenues.
As a result, lease- and pension-adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months
ended April 3, 2009, totaled $704.4 million and produced adjusted
leverage of 5.2x.

TRW's liquidity is adequate, assuming the credit facility
amendment is approved before the end of June.  The company had
cash on hand totaling $535 million at April 3, 2009, and
subsequent to the end of the quarter borrowed all but $100 million
on its $1.4 billion revolving credit line, boosting cash balances.
S&P expects the company to repay its recent borrowings in the
second quarter, retaining a cash balance of about $550 million,
assuming the amendment is approved.

S&P expects TRW's cash use to be high in 2009 and 2010 as a result
of lower global vehicle production volumes that have severely
reduced revenues and EBITDA, combined with severance and
restructuring costs required to downsize capacity and reconfigure
the product mix to a lower expected future production level.
Also, TRW's borrowing costs will rise, assuming lenders approve
the amendment.  Debt maturities are long-dated.

S&P expects TRW to refinance in 2011, given the May 2012 revolving
credit facility commitment expiration.  The outlook on TRW is
negative.  S&P could lower the ratings if the company is not able
before the end of this month to negotiate a satisfactory amendment
to its revolving credit facility that preserves liquidity.  S&P
could also lower the ratings if S&P believed the company's use of
cash would fail to moderate by the end of 2009.  A downgrade could
also occur if cash use appears to be poised to exceed $800 million
in 2009.

S&P could revise the outlook to stable if TRW can stem its high
rate of cash flow consumption and demonstrate that it has achieved
an operational breakeven point that better fits lower expected
intermediate-term global auto production levels.  This outcome is
less likely in the year ahead because of difficult global market
conditions.


TUCSON ELECTRIC: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Issuer Default Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Tucson Electric Power Company's
ratings:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating at 'BB';
  -- Senior secured at 'BBB-';
  -- Senior unsecured at 'BB+';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'B'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Approximately $1.4 billion of debt securities and capital lease
obligations are affected by the rating action.  TEP is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of UniSource Energy.

The ratings affirmation and Stable Outlook reflect: TEP's high
debt leverage; covenants in the utility's bank facilities that
restrict debt leverage relative to EBITDA and prospective mortgage
debt issuance; and, the need for amendments to its bank facilities
in 2008 to comply with the debt-leverage ratio covenant included
therein.  A relatively high degree of variable-rate debt,
structural subordination of its senior unsecured debt to
approximately $984 million of outstanding capital lease and
secured debt obligations, ongoing recession, restrictive credit
market conditions, regulatory lag and frozen non-fuel rates are
additional sources of concern for investors.

The ratings and outlook also consider expected improvement in
TEP's post-2008 credit ratios as the result of the Arizona
Corporation Commission-approved settlement in the utility's last
general rate case.  The ruling increased base rates in December
2008 and adopted a purchase power and fuel adjustment clause
effective Jan. 1, 2009.  The ratings also recognize TEP's
competitive rates, relatively low-cost generating resource mix,
historic, above-industry-average service territory growth and
significant debt reduction in recent years.

The ACC order in TEP's GRC increased the utility's base rates
$50 million (6%) effective Dec. 1, 2008.  In addition, the ACC
order authorized implementation of a PPFAC that allows TEP to
defer and recover 100% of the difference in the actual net power
supply costs from amounts reflected in rates.  Rates are to be
reset annually to collect deferral balances and prospective power
supply costs.  Fitch believes the adoption of the PPFAC by the ACC
is a constructive development for TEP that results in more
predictable earnings and cash flows and a meaningfully lower
business risk profile.

Based on Fitch's calculations, TEP's debt-to-EBITDA and EBITDA-to-
interest ratios are expected to approximate better than 4 times
(x) in 2009-2010.  This represents a significant improvement from
2008 debt-to-EBITDA and EBITDA-to-interest ratio levels of 2.5x
and 5.3x, respectively.  The estimated improvement in TEP's credit
metrics is a function of higher base rates and resulting benefit
to operating margin.  While realization of higher earnings and
cash flows as expected by Fitch in 2009 and beyond is likely to
result in robust credit metrics relative to the current rating
category, first-quarter 2009 results were below budget, indicating
perhaps that TEP may not achieve full potential of its recent rate
order.  In addition, TEP's flexibility is limited, in Fitch's
view, by high existing debt levels and restrictive covenants
included in its revolving credit and letter-of-credit facilities
which total $623 million.  Fitch expects TEP's operating cash flow
to be sufficient to meet its capital investment requirements net
of dividends, reflecting higher rates and reduced capital
expenditures, during 2009-2013, driven primarily by weak economic
and credit market conditions.

In 2008 TEP amended and restated its secured credit facilities
modifying the maximum allowable leverage ratio contained therein
from 4.0x to 4.50x from July 1, 2008 through Sept. 30, 2008, 4.75x
from Oct. 1, 2008 through Dec. 31, 2008, 4.50x from Jan. 1, 2009
through June 30, 2009, and 4.0x after June 30, 2009.  The
amendment became necessary due to the negative impact of high net
power supply costs in the first half of 2008 combined with the
absence of a PPFAC, frozen rates and other operating factors.  As
the result of the implementation of the PPFAC and $50 million rate
hike, Fitch expects TEP EBITDA to be reasonably stable at higher
levels in 2009 and beyond compared to 2008.

In addition to reflecting TEP's high debt leverage, the ratings
also consider the company's ongoing debt reduction efforts.  Since
2003, TEP has reduced outstanding indebtedness approximately 26%
to $1.4 billion at year-end 2008 from more than $1.9 billion at
year-end 2003.  Maturities are manageable with no corporate debt
scheduled in 2009-2013.  As of May 1, 2009, TEP had $99 million of
borrowing capacity available under its $150 million secured
revolving credit facility.  TEP has a total of $623 million of
secured bank facilities including a $150 million revolving credit
facility used to meet day-to-day working capital requirements and
$473 million secured letter-of-credit facility that supports
outstanding tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds.  The revolving
and letter of credit facilities mature in August 2011.

The credit implications of TEP's status as a subsidiary utility
operating company within the UNS corporate complex are also
factored into TEP's credit ratings.  UNS is a holding company with
no significant operations of its own and is reliant on cash flows
from its subsidiary companies, including TEP, to meet its
financial obligations.  In March 2009, UNS contributed $30 million
of capital to TEP, which the utility used to purchase outstanding
Springerville Unit 1 lease debt.  The notes purchased by TEP have
a 10.73% stated interest rate and mature Jan. 1, 2013.  Fitch
notes that ACC regulations limit the amount of dividends TEP is
permitted to upstream to UNS to 100% of net income.  UNS also owns
the much smaller, UniSource Energy Services, Inc., which owns two
Arizona-based operating utility subsidiaries, UNS Gas, a wholly-
owned natural gas distribution company serving 146,000 customers,
and UNS Electric, a wholly-owned electric distribution utility
serving 90,000 customers.

UNS also owns UniSource Energy Development Company and Millennium
Energy Holdings, Inc.  UED developed and owns a natural gas-fired
combustion turbine in Northern Arizona that supplies energy to
UES' electric utility subsidiary.  Millennium has existing
investment in unregulated businesses that represent 1% of UNS'
total assets as of Dec. 31, 2008.  There are no cross-defaults or
guarantees between TEP and its corporate parent or affiliate
companies.

WENDY'S/ARBY'S GROUP: S&P Affirms 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it took these ratings
actions as a result of the proposed $550 million senior unsecured
note offering:

  -- Revised the outlook on Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc. to negative
     from stable;

  -- Affirmed the 'B+' corporate credit rating of Wendy's/Arby's
     and Arby's Restaurant Group Inc. and Wendy's International
     Inc.;

  -- Assigned a corporate credit rating to the Wendy's/Arby's
     Restaurants, LLC of 'B+', a financing subsidiary of
     Wendy's/Arby's and parent of Wendy's and Arby's;

  -- Assigned a '3' recovery rating and 'B+' issue level rating to
     the proposed senior unsecured debt issuance (New Notes) of
     WAR.  The New Notes are rated the same as the corporate
     credit rating.  The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's
     expectation of average (50%-70%) recovery of principal in the
     event of default;

  -- Affirmed the 'BB' issue level rating and '1' recovery rating
     on Arby's senior secured credit facility (Wendy's and WAR are
     both co-borrowers on the facility).  The '1' recovery rating
     indicates S&P's expectation of very high (90%-100%) recovery
     of principal in the event of default;

  -- Lowered the recovery rating on Wendy's outstanding senior
     unsecured notes (existing notes) to '6' from '5' and the
     issue level rating to 'B-' from 'B'.  The existing notes are
     now rated two notches below the corporate credit rating and
     the '6' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation of
     negligible (0%-10%) recovery of principal in event of
     default.  The lower recovery rating on the existing notes
     reflects that the New Notes will be guaranteed by each
     restricted subsidiary of WAR-including Wendy's -- while
     Wendy's old notes are not guaranteed.  As a result, S&P
     expects that the New Notes have a priority claim to the
     existing notes in a reorganization scenario.

"The outlook revision comes as the company launches a senior
unsecured note issuance with expected proceeds of $550 million,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Charles Pinson Rose.  As a
result, pro forma credit metrics will deteriorate: Operating
lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA will increase to 5.0x from 4.2x and
adjusted interest coverage will decline to 2.4x from 3.1x.  S&P
expects that profitability will be pressured in the near term
because of sales and margin declines at Arby's and leverage could
worsen to approximately 5.3x by the end of third quarter, assuming
no additional debt reduction.

The proceeds of the debt issuance will be used to retire
approximately $125 million of the company outstanding term loan
borrowings, add cash reserves, and pay fees associated with the
transaction.  Following the transaction, the company should have
in excess of $500 million cash.

The company announced that it obtained an amendment to its senior
secured credit facility that would allow it to issue additional
debt for its key strategic growth initiatives and reduce future
financing risk.  In 2011 the company has significant maturities as
its revolving credit facility and $200 of Wendy's unsecured notes
come due.  Furthermore, the outstanding balance of the company's
senior secured term loan is due in 2012.


WENDY'S/ARBY'S Restaurants: S&P Puts 'B+' Corp. Credit Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it took these ratings
actions as a result of the proposed $550 million senior unsecured
note offering:

  -- Revised the outlook on Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc. to negative

  -- Affirmed the 'B+' corporate credit rating of Wendy's/Arby's
     and Arby's Restaurant Group Inc. and Wendy's International

     Restaurants, LLC of 'B+', a financing subsidiary of
     Wendy's/Arby's and parent of Wendy's and Arby's;

* New Study Shows Winners Amid Turmoil in U.S. Auto-Parts Sector
----------------------------------------------------------------
A new report by The Smart Cube, a global independent research
firm, examines the turmoil facing the U.S. Auto-Parts Sector
following the General Motors and Chrysler bankruptcies.  The
sector has suffered severe distress over the last year with many
players struggling to avoid liquidation.

"The Auto-Parts industry faces the most difficult operating
environment in history with softening revenues and widespread job
losses in large part due to huge exposure to the Big 3." explains
Theodore Kim, Managing Director of The Smart Cube.  Revenues have
dropped significantly, while over 20% of jobs were eliminated over
the last year bringing total employment down to 561,000 -- a
startling plunge from the 1 million workers the industry employed
last decade. Within the last 2 years, 30 US Auto-Parts suppliers
have filed for bankruptcy with 5 already announced this year. The
wave of bankruptcies and potential liquidations will continue to
climb not only resulting from the GM and Chrysler bankruptcies ,
but also from the Big 3's plans to rationalize their supply
chains.

However, despite tumultuous conditions, there is definite
opportunity for a select number of firms to emerge leaner,
stronger and better able to compete than ever before.  "As this
hurricane passes, there are clear opportunities and a handful of
winners who will undoubtedly emerge -- not only the surviving
firms, but also well positioned advisory firms, value investors,
hedge funds, banks and restructuring consultants willing to do
their homework."  Among the changes in the industry will be an
increased focus on emerging markets, stronger strategic alliances
and financial restructuring.

The strongest firms identified by The Smart Cube report include:

     * Borg Warner,
     * Dorman Products,
     * Genuine Parts Company,
     * Johnson Controls, and
     * WABCO Holdings.

"For now, the outlook may seem dire. But the right management
implementing the right strategy will see their stakeholders very
well rewarded when this shakeout finally takes its course."

                           *********

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

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

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

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.

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911.  For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
