   -- Unsecured trade creditors will be unimpaired and will be
      paid in full.  Recovery would be 100%.

   -- Holders of preferred equity interests will be paid with a
      $100 liquidation preference in cash.  Recovery would be

flows from operations, a substantial stockholders' deficit and
current liabilities exceed current assets.  The Company may thus
not be able to continue as a going concern and fund cash
requirements for operations through the next 12 months with
current cash reserves.  The Company was able to raise additional
cash during the third quarter of 2009.  Notwithstanding success in
raising capital, there continues to be substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

ADVANCED MICRO: Reinstates Annual Base Salaries of Execs
--------------------------------------------------------
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Advanced
Micro Devices, Inc., on January 16, 2009, approved across-the-
board reductions to annual base salaries, including the annual
base salaries of all named executive officers, effective as of
February 1, 2009.  Effective November 16, 2009, the Compensation
Committee approved the reversal of these reductions commencing on
November 23, 2009.

As a result, the reinstated annual base salaries of the named
executive officers will be:

     (i) Mr. Derrick Meyer, the Company's President and Chief
         Executive Officer, reinstated from $720,000 to $900,000;

    (ii) Mr. Robert Rivet, the Company's Executive Vice President,
         Chief Operations and Administrative Officer, reinstated
         from $552,500 to $650,000; and

   (iii) Mr. Thomas McCoy, the Company's Executive Vice President,
         Legal, Corporate and Public Affairs, reinstated from
         $462,400 to $544,000. Because annual bonus targets are a
         percentage of annual base salary, the across-the-board
         increases, in effect, would also increase fiscal 2009
         annual bonus payments, if any.

ALL LAND INVESTMENTS: Seeks to Obtain Financing, Cash Use
---------------------------------------------------------
All Land Investments, LLC, has sought permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to obtain
postpetition secured financing from KSJS Investment Associates,
LLC.  The DIP Lender has committed to provide a revolving loan of
up to $88,322.

The attorney for the Debtor, Gary F. Seitz, Esq., at Rawle &
Henderson LLP explains the Debtor needs the money to complete the
construction of the improvements on Building Lot 75 Property,
Building Lot 98 Property and Building Lot No. 76 at the Old
Country Farm Subdivision in Kent County, Clayton, DE 19938
(Subdivision); to pay post-petition obligations as they come due;
and allow the administration of the Debtor's estate.

The DIP facility will incur interest at an annual rate of at least
5.5% -- equal to current prime interest rate in effect from time
to time as published in The Wall Street Journal plus 0.5%,
adjusted as and when the prime rate changes.  In the event of
default, the DIP Loan will bear interest at the contract rate plus
5%.

The Debtors' obligations under the DIP facility will be secured by
valid, binding, enforceable and perfected super priority liens on
Building Lot 75 Property, Building Lot 98 Property and Building
Lot No. 76 at the Subdivision and the improvements constructed
thereon.

The Debtor has also asked the Court's approval to use cash
collateral -- cash and proceeds of existing accounts receivable --
on an interim basis, to fund the operation of its business and
preserve its value as a going concern.

The Debtors will use the collateral pursuant to a weekly budget, a
copy of which is available for free at:

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

The Lender has objected to the use of the Pre-Petition Collateral
by the Debtor, but has indicated a willingness to agree to the
Debtor's entering into financing arrangements.

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtor proposes to
grant the Lender replacement first priority security interests in
and liens on the Collateral as partial adequate protection to to
protect the Lender from the diminution in value of the collateral.
The lien will be subordinate to the DIP Liens.

The Lender is represented by:

AMACORE GROUP: Delays September 30 Quarter Filing
-------------------------------------------------
The Amacore Group, Inc., says the compilation, dissemination and
review of the information required to be presented in its Form
10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009, has imposed time
constraints that have rendered timely filing of the Form 10-Q
impracticable without undue hardship and expense to the
registrant.  The Company undertakes the responsibility to file
such report no later than five days after its original prescribed
due date.

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009
are expected to be $7.1 million and $21.9 million, respectively,
as compared to $8.5 million and $21.2 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.  Gross profit
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 is expected
to be $2.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as compared to
$2.6 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, respectively.   The Company notes that as its
financial statements have not yet been completed, its final
reported results may be different than the expectations described.

The Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of
operating expenses, other income or net loss for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, as the Company is in process
of finalizing its impairment testing of goodwill and intangible
assets and valuation of its liability warrants.

AMACORE GROUP: Sells Vicis 600 shares of Series L Preferreds
------------------------------------------------------------
The Amacore Group, Inc., reports that on November 13, 2009, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis,
pursuant to which it sold to Vicis 600 shares of its Series L
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and a
warrant to purchase 67,500,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock,
par value $0.001 per share for an aggregate cash purchase price of
$6.0 million.

The Company received the $6.0 million purchase price September 21,
2009.  The Shares and Warrant were issued upon execution of the
Purchase Agreement.  The Purchase Agreement includes
representations and warranties and other provisions customary for
a transaction of this nature.  The shares of Series L Preferred
Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock and have rights
and preferences senior to certain other classes and series of the
Company's capital stock.

The Warrant first becomes exercisable on December 31, 2009, and
expires on December 31, 2014.  The exercise price is $0.375 per
share of Common Stock.  The Warrant also contains a cashless
exercise feature and certain participation rights if the Company
grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or
rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property
pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of common
stock.  The exercise price is subject to adjustment upon certain
events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends,
distributions, reclassifications, merger or other corporate change
and dilutive issuances.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Vicis
also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which grants to
Vicis certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares and
upon exercise of the Warrant, and also covers certain other shares
of the Company's Common Stock that may be issued to Vicis in
connection with a reclassification, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization of the Company. In addition,
the Company agreed that: (i) if a registration statement has not
been filed with and declared effective by the SEC at least 90 days
prior to July 15, 2011; or (ii) if after the registration
statement has been declared effective, it ceases to remain
effective at any time prior to the 9 month anniversary of the
effectiveness date, the Company will pay to Vicis an amount equal
to 2.0% of the aggregate stated value of the Shares then held by
Vicis for each calendar month or portion thereof thereafter until
the applicable event has been cured.

In connection with the Investment, Vicis agreed to waive any anti-
dilution rights it held as a result of its ownership of nine
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and shares of Series G
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H Convertible Preferred Stock,
Series I Convertible Preferred Stock and Series L Convertible
Preferred Stock it holds.

As a result of these transactions, Vicis now owns 891,306,950
shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, 1,200
shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into
436,363,636 shares of Common Stock, 400 shares of Series H
Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 145,454,545 shares of
Common Stock, 1,650 shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock
convertible into 600,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 450 shares of
Series L Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 450,000,000
shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 349,150,000 shares
of Common Stock.  Presently, the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation authorize the Company to issue only up to 1,360,000
shares of Common Stock.  As such, the Company cannot issue all of
the shares of Common Stock which Vicis has the right to acquire.
Accordingly, the Company is in violation of the provisions of
various agreements between the Company and Vicis requiring the
Company to have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
reserved and available to issue to Vicis in the event Vicis
exercises any right to convert into Common Stock shares of Company
preferred stock it holds or exercises any warrant to purchase
Company Common Stock it holds.

In addition, in connection with the Investment, the Warrant to
Purchase Common Stock issued to Vicis by the Company on June 29,
2009 was amended to delete from the warrant provisions allowing
Vicis to require the Company to redeem the warrant in the event of
a change of control, subject to certain conditions and to provide
that the warrant may not be exercised prior to December 31, 2009.

AMERICAN BUSINESS: 2 Law Firms Receive $30MM Contingent Fee Award
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Daily Bankruptcy Review says two law firms that sued on behalf of
creditors of American Business Financial Services won a $30
million contingent fee award for their work.  DBR says Law
Debenture Trust Co. of New York and Wells Fargo Bank are now
badgering George Miller, the Chapter 7 trustee, for $27.6 million
in fees for their contribution to the case.

According to Daily Bankruptcy Review, lawyers are gobbling away at
the $100 million settlement reached in the ABFS case.

"To be fair, Law Debenture and Wells Fargo presumably want to dish
out some of the money to holders of $97 million worth of ABFS
notes.  They are, after all, trustees for that group of
bondholders.  So far, the faithful servants of the bondholders
have received a mere $2.7 million out of the lawsuit settlements,
and that all went to the fees and expenses of the trustees, their
attorneys and agents," the article by DBR's Peg Brickley says.

DBR notes that the indenture trustees ran up "some impressive"
legal bills in ABFS's case, because Mr. Miller sued them for
allegedly being paid off to "stand silent while Greenwich Capital
visited a ruinous Chapter 11 loan on the company at a time when it
was already gurgling down the drain."

Early this month, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court approved the $100
million settlement reached by Mr. Miller, at the Philadelphia
accounting firm Miller, Coffey, Tate L.L.P., with investment banks
that helped the Company package loans into securities.

Citing The Philadelphia Inquirer, according to the Troubled
Company Reporter in October, Steven M. Coren, Mr. Miller's lawyer,
said the settlement is for a lawsuit that the trustee filed three
years ago in Philadelphia's Court of Common Pleas.  The settlement
calls for:

     -- $55 million from JPMorgan Chase & Co., including Bear
        Stearns Cos. Inc.;

     -- $37.5 million from Credit Suisse; and

     -- $7.5 million from Morgan Stanley.

The Wall Street Journal's Steve Stecklow noted that when ABFS
filed for bankruptcy in 2005, the uninsured notes became
worthless, leaving 26,000 investors with more than $600 million in
losses.  Many of the investors were elderly, he said.

Mr. Stecklow also noted documents filed as part of the settled
lawsuit show that JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley
and Bear Stearns had doubts about ABFS as a subprime lender.   Mr.
Miller accused the four Wall Street firms of helping to prop up
ABFS while they raked in fees for lending, underwriting and
packaging securities.  The banks deny any wrongdoing.

Two legal battles remain before investors receive any money from
ABFS's estate -- one involves Greenwich Capital Financial Products
Inc., which provided $500 million of debtor-in-possession
financing to ABFS, a lawsuit that froze payments to investors.
The second is an arbitration case against the lender's accounting
firm, BDO Seidman L.L.P. Miller, which is seeking $962 million
from that firm.

AMERICAN CONSOLIDATED: Reaches Debt Forbearance Agreement
---------------------------------------------------------
Sarah McDonald at Bloomberg News reports that Macquarie Media
Group Ltd. said unit American Consolidated Media LLC entered into
a forbearance contract with its lenders after breaching loan
covenants.

Bloomberg relates Macquarie Media said in a regulatory statement
filed on November 20 that in return for a fee and an increase in
the interest rate on the debt of about 2.3% a year, the lenders
won't exercise their rights under the loan breach.

According to the report, Macquarie Media said ACM's loan facility
totals $133.7 million and the company will continue talks with its
banks during the forbearance period.

"As previously advised to the market there can be no assurance
that any restructure, amendment, extension, waiver, further
forbearance or consent will be provided," it said.

The company "has no plans to provide any parent level cash
injections or other financial support or guarantee to ACM or its
lenders."

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
Oct. 30, 2009, Macquarie Media its US subsidiary American
Consolidated Media LLC has breached loan covenants under its
US$133.7 million business level bank facility.

The Sydney Morning Herald said Macquarie Media plans to raise $294
million in new funding to pay down debt, as it prepares to take
back its management rights from Macquarie Group and simplify its
corporate structure.

The Herald said the capital raising comprises an underwritten
one-for-one renounceable entitlement offer at $1.55 per stapled
security.

According to the Herald, Macquarie Media chief executive Mark
Dorney said the capital raising, along with existing the group's
existing cash of $323 million, will be used to retire debt at its
Australian operations, Macquarie Southern Cross Media.

Net bank debt for the Australian business will be reduced to $306
million, from $860 million, the Herald noted.

Macquarie Media also proposes to take back, or internalize, the
management of the company from Macquarie Group at a cost of $40.5
million, subject to securityholder's approval.

AMR CORP: JAL Alliance Won't Affect S&P's 'B-' Rating on AMR
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that American Airlines
Inc.'s and parent AMR Corp.'s (both B-/Negative/--) attempt to
maintain a marketing alliance with Japan Airlines Corp. (JAL;
CC/Watch Neg/--) will not affect the ratings or outlook on the
companies.  While American has made no details of its proposal
public, other than its partnership with private equity firm TPG,
which has a mostly successful track record of investing in
airlines, S&P expects that American will provide a financial
incentive to keep financially ailing JAL in the oneworld alliance.

Negotiations on a new U.S.-Japan "open skies" aviation treaty, in
which U.S. airlines could allow increased access to serve Japan
and routes beyond Japan, are currently ongoing.  If and when the
treaty is concluded, it appears that American and competitor Delta
Air Lines Inc. (B/Negative/--), which have proposed to provide JAL
with $1 billion in various forms of assistance with its SkyTeam
alliance partners, would likely seek authority to operate with
antitrust immunity on trans-Pacific routes.  This would allow
partner airlines to coordinate pricing and other activities on
specified routes, and would permit them to form a joint venture in
which partners would share revenues.  Delta currently has such a
joint venture with Air France-KLM (not rated) on trans-Atlantic
routes.  American has much at stake in maintaining an alliance
with JAL.  By itself, it does not have a large presence in the
Pacific market.

Therefore, if oneworld cannot keep JAL in the alliance, it risks
material loss of revenues in the Pacific.  Alternatively, if
American invests significant capital in JAL to keep it in
oneworld, but does not obtain regulatory permission to operate
with antitrust immunity, its liquidity and financial profile could
suffer.  The Japanese government-backed entity Enterprise
Turnaround Initiative Corp. is in the process of restructuring
JAL.  The ultimate resolution of the investment in JAL, and by
which airline(s), if any, could take some time.  Other factors,
such as progress on the U.S.-Japan aviation treaty, could also
affect the resolution.


AMERICAN HOMEPATIENT: Posts $2.7 Million Net Loss in Q3 2009
------------------------------------------------------------
On November 16, 2009, American HomePatient, Inc. filed its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30,
2009, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $2.7 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with net
income attributable to common shareholders of $584,000 in the same
period in 2008.

Revenues decreased from $65.6 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008, to $59.0 million for the same period in 2009,
a decrease of $6.6 million, or 10.1%.  Medicare reimbursement
reductions effective January 1, 2009, reduced revenue by
approximately $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2009.  The
Company said its reduced emphasis on less profitable product lines
such as non-respiratory durable medical equipment and infusion
therapy also reduced revenue in the current quarter.  These
decreases were partially offset by an increase in the number of
oxygen patients and growth in sleep therapy revenue, the Company's
core product lines.

Loss from operations before income taxes was $1.8 million for the
current quarter, compared with income from operations before
income taxes of $1.7 million in the same period in 2008.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's consolidated balance sheets
showed $239.9 million in total assets and $275.8 million in total
liabilities, resulting in a $35.9 million shareholders' deficit.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had current assets of
$67.9 million and current liabilities of $264.8 million, resulting
in a working capital deficit of $196.9 million as compared to a
working capital deficit of $197.3 million at December 31, 2008.

A full-text copy of the Company's Form 10-Q is available for free
at http://researcharchives.com/t/s?49f9

                       Going Concern Doubt

The Company has long-term debt of $226.4 million at September 30,
2009.  This indebtedness is secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and matured on August 1, 2009.  The Company
was not able to repay this debt at or prior to maturity from cash
flow from operations and existing cash, or refinance this debt
prior to the maturity date.  Given the unfavorable conditions in
the current debt market, the Company does not believe that third-
party refinancing of the debt will be possible at this time, which
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.

A series of forbearance agreements, each with a one month term,
have been entered into by and among the Company, NexBank, SSB, as
agent, and certain forbearance holders.  The parties to the
forbearance agreements have agreed to not exercise, prior to the
expiration of the term of the agreement, any of the rights or
remedies available to them as a result of the Company's failure to
repay the secured debt on the maturity date.  The current

-----------------------------------------------------------------
ART Advanced Research Technologies Inc. disclosed that its
strategic review process has culminated in its entry into a an
agreement with Dorsky Worldwide Corp. to restructure ART's balance
sheet and share capital and position it to continue in business.

The agreement contemplates that ART will file a proposal to its
unsecured creditors under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
through KPMG Inc.  The meeting at which the Unsecured Creditors
will vote on the Proposal is expected to be held on December 7,
2009.  The Proposal will provide, among other things, for the
distribution of $375,000 to ART's Unsecured Creditors.

The Proposal will also provide for the repayment of certain claims
of secured creditors of ART, for the cancellation of all existing
issued and outstanding equity in the capital of ART, including any

Quebec Superior Court, ART also entered into a loan agreement with
Dorsky for an interim financing of up to $1,200,000.  The interim
financing was put in place to support ART's ongoing operations by

assets of ART.

Moreover, ART was also informed today that the Autorite des
marches financiers issued a cease trade order against ART on

ASHFORD HOSPITALITY: Refinances to Extend Loan Maturities
---------------------------------------------------------
Dallas-based Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., has refinanced its
remaining 2010 debt maturity and announced significant progress on
the Company's 2011 maturities through transactions with Prudential
Mortgage Capital Company and Wheelock Street Capital.  The $145.0
million non-recourse financing includes an A-Note from Prudential
and a B-Note from Wheelock Street with a combined interest rate of
12.26% and a term of six years.

The loans are secured by the Embassy Suites Crystal City, Embassy
Suites Orlando Airport, Embassy Suites Santa Clara, Embassy Suites
Portland and the Hilton Costa Mesa.  The proceeds pay off a $75.0
million loan maturing in 2010 and a $65.2 million loan maturing in
2011 that are secured by the five properties, and provide $4.0
million for capital improvements to be drawn over a 24-month
period.  The Hilton Auburn Hills and the Hilton Rye Town, which
were included in the maturing loans, are now unencumbered. Hodges
Ward Elliott represented the Company in the transaction.

During 2009, the Company has completed $265.3 million of loan
financings and/or extensions.  The combined net proceeds from the
year to date financings exceeded the existing loan balances and
closing costs.  Ashford's blended weighted average interest rate
following the refinancing is 3.62%, assuming the offset to
interest expense from the benefit of the interest rate swap. In
terms of non-extendable loans coming due, the Company has no
further 2009 maturities (except for the previously announced Hyatt
Regency Dearborn loan maturity acceleration via foreclosure
proceeding), no remaining 2010 maturities, and $229.0 million in
2011.  The Company's unrestricted cash balance as of the end of
the third quarter was $197.9 million.

The Company also completed the sale of the Westin Westminster
mezzanine loan that was defeased by the original borrower in 2007
as part of a refinancing.  The total gross proceeds received by
the Company amounted to $13.6 million before transaction costs.
The loan had an outstanding balance of $11.0 million with a
September 1, 2011 maturity.  The Company negotiated for the
release of the portfolio of government agency securities serving
as the defeased loan collateral, and sold the actual securities
via an auction.  The Company obtained pricing in excess of the par
amount due to the high pay coupon compared to current market
rates.

Commenting on the announcements, Monty Bennett, Chief Executive
Officer, said, "We are pleased to be able to close this financing
during this challenging period in the credit markets. Prudential
and Wheelock Street demonstrated professionalism throughout this
process. Our proactive capital allocation strategy continues to
enhance our balance sheet and liquidity, thereby allowing us to
focus on transactions that have the greatest value impact for our
shareholders."

Merrick Kleeman, a Managing Partner of Wheelock Street Capital,
added, "Outstanding work by talented professionals at Ashford,
Prudential and Wheelock made this transaction possible. This
portfolio is geographically diversified and well-maintained, and
has performed extraordinarily well during the recent downturn. The
Ashford refinancing is an excellent first investment opportunity
for our firm and we look forward to working constructively with
many other owners to provide capital solutions as they refinance
or recapitalize assets."

AXIANT LLC: Files Chapter 11 to Sell Business to NCO Group
----------------------------------------------------------
Axiant LLC has signed a binding agreement to be acquired by NCO
Group, Inc.  To facilitate this transaction, Axiant commenced
chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in Delaware, in which the sale
of Axiant's assets to NCO will be subject to higher and better
offers at an auction and to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Kevin Keleghan, CEO of Axiant, stated that, "Combining our
resources with the litigation services already offered by NCO will
create a dominant force in the legal collections market.  Axiant's
unique working relationship with Mann Bracken, the largest
collection law firm in the United States, in conjunction with
NCO's technology driven Attorney Network platform should maximize
our clients' performance and create opportunities for many of our
associates."

Michael Barrist, Chairman and CEO of NCO, stated, "Combining
Axiant, which has a strategic relationship with Mann Bracken, to
our company enhances our suite of service offerings and furthers
our strategy of expanding our litigation capabilities.  This
combination, in conjunction with our recently announced purchase
of Total Debt Management, clearly defines NCO as a leader in the
consumer litigation arena."

Closing is expected in the first quarter of 2010 and is subject to
satisfactory completion of due diligence, the execution of a
definitive agreement and other conditions.

Axiant seeks to conduct a competitive bidding and auction of its
assets.  NetDockets reports the Debtor has signed a stalking horse
term sheet with NCO Group, providing for a proposed sale price of
between $7 million and $10 million. The Debtor is seeking approval
of the sale agreement as well as the payment of a $210,000 breakup
fee and $150,000 expense reimbursement payable to NCO Group in the
event the Debtor closes the sale to another bidder at auction.

NetDockets notes that Axiant's first day filings report that it is
a "leading national provider of financial services, legal
collections and recovery management solutions for banks, credit
card issuers and investors in debt products."  However, according
to NetDockets, it appears that Axiant's business is down
significantly from its 2008 peak, at which time it had over 1,000
employees and an infrastructure to support "35,000 lawsuits per
month, 20,000 arbitration filings per month, and $55 million in
collections per month."  As of the petition date, Axiant's
headcount has been reduced to approximately 50 employees.

Axiant LLC provides integrated legal collections services.

Axiant filed for bankruptcy on November 20, 2009 (Bankr. D. Del.
Case No. 09-14118).  Lawyers at Latham & Watkins LLP in Chicago,
Illinois and Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP in Wilmington,
Delaware, represent the Debtor.  SSG Capital Advisors, LLC, serves
as investment banker. Epiq Systems serves as claims and noticing
agent.

The Debtor said assets and debts range from $10 million and $50
million.  The Debtor said it has between 1,000 and 5,000
creditors.

CALTEX HOLDINGS: Case Converted to Chapter 7 Liquidation
--------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Wesley W. Steen of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas approved the conversion of CalTex
Holdings, L.P.'s reorganization case to a case under Chapter 7.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 19, 2009,
H. Malcolm Lovett, Jr., the Chapter 11 trustee, asked for the
conversion, citing that the Debtor does not have sufficient
operations or capital to meet ongoing expenses.

CAMP COOLEY: Gets Interim Nod to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
Camp Cooley Ltd. sought and obtained approval from the Hon. Ronald
B. King of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Texas to use, on the interim, cash collateral in payment of
current and pre-petition debt.

Prepetition, Amegy Bank National Association and Lone Star PCA
made certain loans and other financial accommodations available to
the Debtor.  Lone Star advanced $5.3 million; Amegy has advanced
$20 million.

The attorney for the Debtor, R. Glen Ayers Jr., Esq., at Langley
and Banack, Inc., said that the Debtor needs to use cash securing
loans to Amegy and Lone Star to pay certain prepetition unsecured
debt, pay costs of ongoing operations, satisfy payroll and
employee benefits, pay severance taxes, and to pay vendors to
ensure a continued supply of services and materials essential to
the Debtor's continued viability.  Without access to cash
collateral, the Debtor would be unable to operate its business
postpetition.

The Debtors will use the collateral pursuant to a weekly budget, a
copy of which is available for free at:

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

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtor will grant
the Prepetition Lenders a replacement lien on all assets and
proceeds of which would be subject to the liens on the Debtor's
Pre-Petition Lenders, but for the operation of the Bankruptcy
Code.  An administrative priority in other assets will be granted
to further ensure adequate protection.  As further adequate
protection, the Pre-Petition Lenders will receive from the Debtor
cash payments.  About $300,000 to Lone Star upon receipt of sales
proceeds from the Fall Sale before any disbursements are made for
ongoing expenses other than the expenses related to the sale.

Judge King approved the Debtor's November 19 to November 21 annual
cattle sale sponsored by Camp Cooley Genetics (a subsidiary now
merged into the Debtor) in the ordinary course of business.  The
Camp Cooley cattle are collateral for the Lone Star debt in the
approximate amount of $5.3 million dollars.  The sale will
generate $1.6 million in gross cash.  The Debtor will use the Lone
Star cash collateral to pay for the costs of the sale and for
other expenses.

The sale of the cattle will be free of liens.  The Debtor will pay
pre- and post-petition costs of sale incurred in the ordinary
course and will pay sums due to consignees of cows, heifers,
bulls, and partial interests in bulls at the time of the sale, as
is the ordinary course of business.  The Debtor can use proceeds
to purchase bull calves.  The Debtor will pay $300,000 on the Lone

CDW INC: S&P Affirms 'B-' Rating, Changes Outlook to Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it affirmed its ratings,
including its 'B-' corporate credit rating, on Vernon Hills,
Illinois-based CDW Inc. and revised the outlook to stable from
negative.

"The outlook revision reflects the recent stabilization in CDW's
operating performance and expanded covenant headroom," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Martha Toll-Reed.  The ratings
reflect year-to-date revenue and EBITDA weakness, and a highly
leveraged financial profile.  These factors are partly offset by
the company's consistently profitable history, diversified
customer base, and good position in the highly fragmented value-
added reseller market for technology products and services.


CHARTER COMMS: Lenders Want Judge to Block Bankruptcy Exit
----------------------------------------------------------
Christopher Scinta at Bloomberg News reports that Charter
Communications Inc.'s lenders, led by JPMorgan Chase & Co., want
to block the Debtor from leaving Chapter 11 bankruptcy while they
appeal the approval of its turnaround plan.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Peck is improperly requiring them to
continue lending to Charter once it emerges from bankruptcy, the
lenders said in papers filed with the Bankruptcy court, according
to the report.

The group wants its appeal to go directly to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit.  "The confirmation order is the
first of its kind," attorneys for the lenders wrote.  "It compels
financial institutions to lend a post-bankruptcy reorganized
company $8.4 billion, on pre-bankruptcy terms, over the lenders'
objection."

Bloomberg also said that Law Debenture Trust Co. of New York, a
trustee for holders of $479 million in bonds, and Charter
stockholder R2 Investment LDC also filed motions with the court
asking the order approving the bankruptcy plan be put on hold
while they appeal. Law Debenture Trust Co. said the complex legal
issues in the case should be reviewed by a higher court.

Judge Peck on November 18 formally confirmed the pre-arranged
Joint Plan of Reorganization of Charter Communications.

Upon the Pre-Arranged Plan becoming effective, Charter expects to
generate positive free cash flow through the reduction of more
than $830 million in annual interest expense.  The current debt of
Company subsidiaries CCO Holdings, LLC and Charter Communications
Operating, LLC will be reinstated under pre-existing pricing and
maturity dates.  In addition, the Pre-Arranged Plan provides for
the reduction of approximately $8 billion of debt, approximately
$1.6 billion in proceeds from an equity rights offering to support
the overall refinancing, and the exchange of approximately $1.7
billion of CCH II notes for new 13.5% CCH II notes due 2016.
Existing shares of the Company's common stock will be cancelled.
Paul Allen will continue as an investor, and will retain the
largest voting interest in the Company.  The Company intends to
apply for listing of its new common stock issued in accordance to
the Plan on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC not earlier than 45 days
after emergence.

CIRCUIT CITY: Plan Confirmation Hearing Continued to Dec. 21
------------------------------------------------------------
According to a notice filed with the Court, Circuit City Stores
Inc. and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors announced
that the hearing to consider the confirmation of their First
Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation is continued from November 23 to
December 21, 2009, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, or as soon as
counsel can be heard before Judge Huennekens.

The confirmation hearing may be adjourned from time to time by
announcement in open court.

The Plan may be further modified, if necessary, under Section
1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, before, during, or as a result of
the confirmation hearing, without further notice to parties-in-
interest.

Various parties have filed objections to the Plan.  The latest
objectors include the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of
Taxation, which is seeking interest on its priority claim, as
required by Section 511 of the Bankruptcy Code; The Maricopa
County Treasurer, which asserts that its claim should be treated
as a secured claim; Arlington ISD, and other related parties,
which argue that the proper classification of their claims is as
first priority secured tax claims entitled to interest at the rate
provided by applicable non-bankruptcy law; and the Lewisville
Independent School District, which wants the proceeds of the sales
of assets securing its tax claims preserved.

                       The Liquidating Plan

The Plan provides for the orderly liquidation of the remaining
assets of the Debtors and the distribution of the proceeds of the
liquidation of the Debtors' assets according to the priorities
set forth under the Bankruptcy Code.

Under the Debtors' Joint Plan of Liquidation, all claims against
the Debtors -- other than administrative claims and priority tax
claims, which will be paid in full -- are classified into eight
classes:

                                               Estimated
                                    Estimated  Aggregate Amount
  Class  Description                Recovery   of Allowed Claims
  -----  -----------                ---------  -----------------
1    Miscellaneous Secured Claims   100%      $5 mil.-$20 mil.
2    Non-Tax Priority Claims        100%      $35 mil.-$95 mil.
3    Convenience Claims              10%      unknown
4    General Unsecured Claims      0%-13.5%   $1.8 bil.-$2 bil.
5    Intercompany Claims              0%      $0
6    Subordinated 510(c) Claims       0%      $0
7    Subordinated 510(b) Claims       0%      $0
8    Interests                        0%      -

A Liquidating Trust will be established on the Plan Effective
Date.  All Distributions to the Holders of allowed claims will be
from the Liquidating Trust.

CIRCUIT CITY: Ryan Wants to Compel Assumption of Pact
-----------------------------------------------------
On June 8, 2005, Ryan, Inc., formerly known as Ryan & Company,
Inc., and Circuit City Stores, Inc., entered into a letter
agreement, whereby Ryan agreed to perform a review of Circuit
City's Hawaii import tax payment records to identify tax refund
or tax reduction opportunities, or both.  Ryan was working under
the Agreement at the time Circuit City commenced its Chapter 11
case, Bruce W. Akerly, Esq., at Bell Nunnally & Martin LLP, in
Dallas, Texas, relates.

Ryan continues to perform valuable tax services to Circuit City
postpetition pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.  These
services have culminated in significant cash tax refunds being
awarded to Circuit City postpetition, according to Mr. Akerly.

Actual and in-progress tax refunds are likely to total $735,663.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Circuit City agreed to
pay Ryan a fee equal to 33-1/3% of any tax refunds, credits or
reductions -- including interest and penalties -- that Circuit
City obtained from applicable taxing authorities or vendors.
Ryan's fee to date will equal $245,196, Mr. Akerly tells the
Court.

Circuit City failed to recognize the Agreement as an executory
contract on its Schedule G.  Ryan continues to work with state
taxing authorities in Hawaii to assure that Circuit City receives
the maximum tax refund possible.  Circuit City is required to
assist Ryan by providing any additional information required by
the Hawaiian taxing authorities and is required to pay Ryan upon
receipt of a tax refund pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Akerly
notes.

Because the Agreement requires continued performance by both Ryan
and Circuit City, failure of which, by either party, would
constitute a material breach, the Agreement is an executory
contract, Mr. Akerly asserts.

Moreover, the Agreement represents a valuable asset to the
Debtors' jointly administered estates.  The services rendered
will culminate in significant and substantial cash tax refunds
being awarded postpetition to Circuit City, he adds.

Since the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation of the Debtors
and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors does not
otherwise address the Agreement, the practical effect of
confirmation will be to reject a contract that otherwise would
provide a valuable asset from which creditors can be paid, Mr.
Akerly points out.

Given the substantial benefit and minimal burdens associated with
the Agreement, Ryan asks the Court to compel Circuit City to
assume the Agreement before confirmation of the Plan.

Ryan recognizes that it was not retained as an ordinary course
professional in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.  However, Circuit
City recognized that Ryan continued to provide services under the
Agreement without objection.  To the extent Ryan is required to
be approved as an ordinary course professional to be compensated
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Ryan reserves the right
to seek approval, nunc pro tunc the Petition Date.

CIRCUIT CITY: Wins Nod for Pact With Prepetition Lenders
--------------------------------------------------------
Circuit City Stores Inc. obtained approval from the Bankruptcy
Court of a stipulation it entered into with Bank of America, N.A.,
as agent.  The Stipulation is an agreement between the Debtors and
the Prepetition Lenders resolving, among other things, certain
claims asserted by the Prepetition Lenders.

To recall, on December 23, 2008, the Court entered a final order
approving the Debtors' entry into the Senior Secured
Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as amended,
by and between, among others, Circuit City Stores, Inc., Circuit
City Stores West Coast, Inc., Circuit City Stores PR, LLC, and
InterTAN Canada Ltd., Bank of America, as administrative agent
and collateral agent, and certain lenders, on a final basis.

On February 19, 2009, the Court entered the final order approving
the Third Amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement.

Before the Petition Date, the Debtors were parties to a certain
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, dated
January 31, 2008, by and between, among others, certain of the
Debtors and InterTAN, Bank of America, as administrative agent
and collateral agent, and certain lenders.

Pursuant to the Interim and Final DIP Orders, the proceeds of the
DIP Facility were used, in part, to pay in full the claims of the
Prepetition Lenders on account of the Prepetition Financing
Agreements -- the Prepetition Debt -- subject to the right of the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors to assert any claims
against the Prepetition Lenders during the "Challenge Period,"
which expired on April 30, 2009.  None of the Debtors, the
Creditors Committee nor any other party-in-interest asserted any
claims against the Prepetition Agent, the Prepetition Lenders, or
the Prepetition Debt.  Accordingly, the Prepetition Debt is an
allowed secured claim.

The Prepetition Agent has filed Claim Nos. 10867, 11024, 11025,
11026, and 11084 -- Prepetition Secured Claims -- with respect to
the Prepetition Debt on behalf of the Prepetition Lenders.

Pursuant to the DIP Orders, the Debtors do not have any
outstanding borrowings under the Prepetition Credit Agreement
and, accordingly, the Prepetition Secured Claims have been
satisfied.

The parties stipulate, among other things, that:

  (a) Each of the Prepetition Secured Claims, and any other
      filed scheduled or filed claims of the Prepetition Agent
      and the Prepetition Lenders with respect to the
      Prepetition Debt, has been paid in full and are not
      subject to disgorgement, and will be deemed satisfied.

  (b) Nothing in the Stipulation will impair, restrict or
      otherwise limit, or enhance, expand, or otherwise improve,
      the DIP Lenders' rights or claims under the DIP Facility,
      the DIP Credit Agreement or the DIP Orders, the
      Prepetition Lenders' rights or claim under the DIP Orders
      or the Debtors' rights or obligations with respect to
      those.

  (c) The Debtors ratify, confirm, and reaffirm the release
      granted to the Prepetition Lenders in the DIP Orders,
      provided however, that nothing in the Stipulation will
      expand or be deemed to expand, or construed as expanding,
      the release and nothing in the Stipulation will
      constitute a release of the DIP Lenders under the DIP
      Facility, the DIP Credit Agreement or the DIP Orders.

  (d) The Creditors Committee acknowledges and agrees that the
      Prepetition Debt, which has been satisfied in full and is
      no longer a claim against the Debtors' estates, was an
      allowed secured claim for all purposes.

CIT GROUP: Bonds Valued at 68.125 Cents to Settle CD Swaps
----------------------------------------------------------
Shannon D. Harrington at Bloomberg News reported November 20 that
credit derivatives traders settling contracts that protected
against a default by CIT Group Inc. set a value of 68.125 cents on
the dollar for CIT's bonds.

The price, the result of an auction by 13 dealers including
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Barclays Plc, means sellers of the
swaps will pay 31.875 cents on the dollar to buyers of protection
to settle the contracts, Bloomberg said, citing data from
administrator Markit Group Ltd. and broker Creditex Group Inc.

According to Bloomberg, the final price fell from an initial value
of 70.25 cents on the dollar after the first round of the auction
earlier Friday, November 20.  Dealers had reported a net demand to
sell $728.98 million of the bonds and matched that with buy orders
from the dealers and their clients, according to the auction Web
site.

CIT GROUP: Discloses L/C Facility Fees to Bank of America
---------------------------------------------------------
To recall, CIT Group, Inc., and CIT Group Funding Company of
Delaware LLC, have sought authorization from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to enter into a new
$500 million secured letter of credit facility to be extended by
the Bank of America, N.A., as issuing bank.

The Debtors informed Judge Stuart Bernstein of the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York that on
November 6, 2009, they entered into the L/C Facility Fee Letter in
connection with the $500,000,000 Letter of Credit Agreement among
CIT Group Inc., certain subsidiaries of CIT Group Inc., Bank of
America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, the other
Lenders party, and Banc of America Securities LLC, as sole lead
arranger and sole bookrunner.

Gregg M. Galardi, Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom
LLP, in New York, relates that pursuant to the Fee Letter, the
Debtors agree to pay to Banc of America Securities a Structuring
Fee equal to the sum of:

  (i) 1.25% of the aggregate amount of commitments in respect of
      the L/C Facility, due and payable upon your acceptance of
      the Commitment Letter; and

(ii) 1.25% of the aggregate amount of commitments in respect of
      the L/C Facility, due and payable upon the Closing Date.

The Structuring Fee will be paid in immediately available funds in

all present or future applicable taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities, and with
appropriate gross-up for withholding taxes.   Once paid, the
Structuring Fee will not be refundable under any circumstances.

The Structuring Fee will be in addition to any other fees payable
under the L/C Facility, Mr. Galardi said.

The Debtors also agreed to pay to Bank of America, for its own
account as administrative agent and collateral agent, an annual
administrative agent fee of $25,000 annually in advance on the
Closing Date and on each anniversary, until the commitments with
respect to the L/C Facility are terminated in full.

Under the Fee Letter, the Commitment Parties reserve the right to
allocate, in whole or in part, to their affiliates, all or any
portion of fees payable, as the Commitment Parties agree in their
sole discretion.

CIT GROUP: Files Amendments to $3 Bil. Financing Agreements
-----------------------------------------------------------
CIT Group, Inc., filed with the U.S. Exchange and Securities
Commission on November 16, 2009, the amendments effected in their
financing agreements, consisting of:

  (1) the $3 billion securities based financing facility between
      CIT Financial Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of CIT Group
      Inc., and Goldman Sachs International, which was reached
      on October 28, 2009; and

  (2) the existing $3 billion senior secured term loan facility
      between CIT and  Bank of America N.A., as successor
      administrative agent and collateral agent, which was
      essentially effected to provide for expansion of the
      Agreement Commitments by an incremental $4.5 billion.

Pursuant to the Goldman Amendment, the size of the Goldman
Facility will be reduced to $2.125 billion and CFL will post
collateral to secure certain make-whole payments due to GSI on
the reduced size of the GSI Facility.  The amount of the
collateral will initially be $250 million and will increase to and
be capped at 75% of the reduced make-whole calculation outstanding
at any time.

In connection with the reduction of the Goldman Facility's size,
CFL will make a pro-rata make-whole payment to GSI on the amount
of the reduction of the facility under the terms of the original
agreements between the parties.  In exchange for the posting of
collateral, subject to certain terms, GSI has agreed to forebear
from taking any action during a bankruptcy of CIT who serves as a
guarantor under the Goldman Facility.

All other material terms of the Goldman Facility remain unchanged
including, without limitation, the facility fee in the amount of
285 basis points.

Subject to the terms of the Expansion Facility, CIT Group and CIT
Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC and their affiliates are
authorized to set off prepetition obligations arising on account
of Intercompany Loans between a Debtor and another Debtor, or
between a Debtor and an Affiliate, except for advances from any
Funding Account and Sweep Account.  However, any setoff involving
CIT Small Business Lending Corporation is permitted only if in
compliance with the regulatory scheme governing SBLC.

CIT GROUP: Incurs $1.07 Billion Net Loss for Third Quarter
----------------------------------------------------------
CIT Group, Inc., on November 16, 2009, filed on Form 10-Q with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing its financial
results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2009.

CIT previously informed the SEC that it would be unable to file
its Quarterly Report by the prescribed filing deadline of November
9, 2009, particularly in light of multiple work streams and
priorities related to the commencement of the Company's Chapter 11
case after receiving approval of a proposed Prepackaged Plan of
Reorganization by approximately 90% of the bondholders who voted.

In its Form 10-Q, CIT's Chief Financial Officer and Vice Chairman
Joseph M. Leone, noted that the Company established and embarked
upon a "three-phase restructuring plan," which is outlined as:

  * Phase 1: Address the liquidity challenges that the Company
    faced in July 2009 and resulted in the $3 billion Secured
    Credit Facility, and subsequent $4.5 billion Expansion
    Facility in October from certain debt holders, -- which
    phase is complete;

  * Phase 2: Recapitalize the balance sheet to enhance capital
    and improve liquidity through either out-of-court debt
    exchange offers or an in-court filing backed by a
    Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization, which the Company is
    executing; and

  * Phase 3: Execute a business restructuring plan to maximize
    the value of the Company's existing assets for investors and
    optimize its business model for continued value creation.

Mr. Leone disclosed that CIT entered into the (i) $3 billion
Credit Facility with Barclays Bank PLC and other lenders largely
comprised of the Company's existing bondholders in July 2009,
(ii) the Amended and Restated $3-billion Credit Facility to expand
the commitments by an incremental $4.5 billion through the
Expansion Credit Facility on October 28, 2009, and (iii) an
incremental $1 billion committed line of credit, which may be
drawn by the Company on or prior to December 31, 2009.  The
Financing Commitments contained affirmative and negative
covenants, and are subject to certain exceptions, limitations on
the ability of the Borrowers.

According to Mr. Leone, the Financing Commitments declined from
$4.5 billion at June 30, 2009, to $3.8 billion at September 30,
2009, which reflected an increase in covenant restrictions
combined with the expiration and utilization of financing
commitments during the period.  The Company experienced higher-
than-usual utilization of financing commitments beginning the end
of June that continued through mid-July, he said.

Specifically, Mr. Leone related, more than $700 million of draws
on unfunded commitments occurred during the week of July 13, 2009,
just prior to the Company obtaining the $3 billion secured credit
facility.  The greatest level of draw-downs was from asset-based
loans for which CIT was the lead agent, which totaled just over
$500 million.   At September 30, 2009, unfunded commitments
related to lead-agented asset-based loans totaled $760 million,
down from $1,085 million at June 30, 2009.

On October 1, 2009, the Company commenced its recapitalization
plan, which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors and
by the Steering Committee of CIT's bondholders, CIT Group Inc. and
CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC.  Under the Plan, the
Debtors launched exchange offers for certain unsecured notes and a
concurrent debt holder solicitation to approve a prepackaged plan
of reorganization.  The results were overwhelmingly in support of
the prepackaged plan of reorganization, and the conditions were
not satisfied for the exchange offers, Mr. Leone reported.

Following the confirmation of the Plan, and subject to changes
adopted by the new Board of Directors and management team, the
Company will continue to pursue its broader business restructuring
strategy with an enhanced capital structure and liquidity
position, Mr. Leon said.

"Management's expectations are that CIT's financing needs would be
significantly reduced over the next three years and its capital
ratio would be in excess of commitments made to our regulators,
although the ultimate capital ratio will be dependent on market
conditions, valuations and other factors.  A strong capital
position and liquidity profile should afford CIT the time and
resources required to execute on its broad business restructuring
strategy, including refinement of its business model, liquidation
or sale of select businesses or portfolios, efficiency
enhancements and implementation of a long term bank-centric
funding strategy," Mr. Leone said.

                       Legal Proceedings

CIT and its officers, as applicable, are party to various legal
proceedings, investigations and litigations, including:

  * an ongoing Consolidated Class Action Lawsuit filed in the
    U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
    against CIT and its officers, on account of "damaged" CIT-
    PrZ preferred stock pursuant to the October 17, 2007
    offering;

  * ongoing shareholder derivative lawsuits filed in the
    U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on
    behalf of CIT against its CEO and members of its Board of
    Directors, alleging breach of fiduciary duties;

  * multiple lawsuits against Student Loan Xpress, Inc., a
    subsidiary of CIT engaged in the student lending business,
    for allegedly, among other things, violating state consumer
    protection laws;

  * noteholder actions concerning the $3-Billion Facility, filed
    separately against CIT in the Delaware Chancery Court and
    the Southern New York District Court, asserting that the
    Funding Facility constituted a fraudulent transfer and
    should be annulled -- for which the parties reached an
    agreement in principle pursuant for the dismissal of the
    Actions following the effective date of the Company's
    Amended Plan;

  * investigations on CIT's billing and invoicing histories for
    a portfolio of customer accounts that CIT purchased from a
    third-party vendor, which, the Debtor believes has exposures
    that "will not be material;"

  * receivables claims against Lehman Special Financing Inc., a
    subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding Inc., totaling
    $33 million related to derivative transactions --  which is
    being litigated;

  * distribution of the Company's investments in the Reserve
    Primary Fund, a money market fund, from which the SEC sought
    an injunction prohibiting payments; and

  * investigations against or including CIT, which have arisen
    in the ordinary course of business, which the Company
    believes will not have a material adverse effect on CIT.

As of October 31, 2009, there were 404,730,758 shares of the CIT's
common stock outstanding, according to Mr. Leone.

CIT GROUP: Klayman Probing Brokerage Firms on InterNotes
--------------------------------------------------------
The Securities Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes, P.A. disclosed that
it is investigating the sales practices and due diligence of
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority brokerage firms who
solicited customers to purchase CIT InterNotes.  CIT Group issued
these debt instruments which were marketed by several brokerage
firms to retail investors as safe, conservative investments.
Investors have reported that their advisors represented that there
was "no market risk" to these products.  Moreover, to make these
products more appealing to retired and elderly investors, they
were told that if they passed away, the notes would revert back to
par.  This feature, also known as a "death put" or a "survivor's
option," allows the bondholders' survivors to sell the bonds back
to the issuer at face value.  However, due to the collapse and
bankruptcy of CIT Group, the "death put" feature may have no
value, and the liquidity of the CIT InterNotes is questionable.

The sales of the CIT InterNotes are now under scrutiny by FINRA.
Specifically, the regulatory body is examining the sales practices
of brokerage firms who sold these products to their customers, and
it is following up on "concerns about prospectus matters."
According to Herb Perrone of FINRA, "This is something that is on
our radar screen and we are looking into it and are conducting
examinations and some investigations."  Under FINRA Rules,
brokerage firms have an obligation to make suitable
recommendations to their customers, disclose the risks associated
with the investment, and to conduct adequate due diligence into
the investment.

Various brokerage firms marketed CIT InterNotes to investors
including Banc of America Securities, Incapital, Wachovia
Securities n/k/a Wells Fargo Advisors, Edward Jones, UBS, RBC
Capital Markets, Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns n/k/a JPMorgan
Chase, Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, and Raymond James.

Retail investors who purchased CIT InterNotes from a full-service
brokerage firm and sustained significant losses can contact K&T to
explore their legal rights and options.  The attorneys at K&T are
dedicated to pursuing claims on behalf of investors who have
suffered investment losses.  K&T, an experienced, qualified and

CITIGROUP INC: Fitch Revises 'B'' Trust Pref. Rating to Positive
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Citigroup Inc.'s Individual Rating to
'D/E' from 'E' and placed this rating on Rating Watch Positive.
Fitch has also revised the Rating Watch on Citi's 'B' trust
preferred rating to Positive from Negative.  A full list of
ratings follows this release.

In addition, Fitch has affirmed these ratings:

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating at 'A+';
  -- Short-term IDR at 'F1+';
  -- Support rating at '1';
  -- Support rating floor at 'A+'.

The affirmation of Citi's ratings reflect Citi's continued
systemic importance and the high level of capital and funding
support from the U.S. government.  The U.S. government's ownership
interest in Citi stood at 34% following the completion of Citi's
exchange offer which converted the bulk of preferred and a portion
of trust preferred securities to common equity.  This exchange
boosted tangible common equity by approximately $60 billion.

The upgrade of Citi's Individual rating recognizes improvements in
Citi's capital, liquidity and funding structure combined with
meaningful reductions in troubled capital market exposures and
non-core businesses.  Following the completion of Citi's exchange
offer, its TCE and Tier I common equity ratios now appear
relatively strong.  That said, these ratios must continue to be
viewed in the context of Citi's comparatively higher asset quality
problems and weaker operating earnings.

Non-core assets have declined by approximately $100 billion since
the beginning of 2009 with broad-based declines in various loan
and securities categories.  The recently completed sale of Nikko
Cordial along with continued progress working down other portfolio
categories will result in a further reduction in fourth quarter
2009.  However, non-core assets remained substantial at over
$600 billion (approximately one-third of Citi's balance sheet).
Consequently, fully winding down non-core assets likely will be a
multi-year task.

The Positive Rating Watch on the Individual rating incorporates
the improvements in capital as well as the possibility of
stabilizing loan portfolio quality and overall financial
performance.  There are early signs credit losses may be leveling
off although much depends on the future direction of U.S. housing
and unemployment as well as a continued turnaround in delinquency
trends in key international markets.  Notably, Citi is expected to
benefit from its limited commercial real estate loan exposure
compared with U.S. peer banks.  In Fitch's rating criteria, a
bank's standalone financial strength is reflected in Fitch's
Individual rating and the prospect of external support is
reflected in Fitch's support ratings.

For the trust preferred rating, the Positive Rating Watch reflects
a much improved capital composition following the exchange plan.
TCE has become the dominant portion of the capital structure at
approximately 70% of total capital compared with approximately 30%
before the exchange plan.  Going forward, aggregate coupon costs
on preferred instruments will decline by approximately $1 billion
per quarter.  The Positive Rating Watch on trust preferred
instruments also acknowledges stronger holding company liquidity
and the potential for stabilizing financial performance.

A positive resolution of the Rating Watch would hinge on these
major factors including: continued stabilization of core operating
results and asset quality, further progress in reducing non-core
assets, and maintenance of a solid capital position.  Fitch will
assess the prospective stability of Citi's liquidity and funding
profile as Citi ends the use of government funding support,
including guaranteed debt issues under the FDIC's TLGP program and
unlimited coverage of demand deposits through the FDIC's TAG
program.  Further, Fitch would factor in any capital impact on
possible repayment of TARP capital.

CLAIRE'S STORES: Bank Debt Trades at 22% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Claire's Stores,
Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 78.22 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Nov. 20, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.63
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on May 29, 2014.  The Company pays 275 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's Caa2 rating while it carries Standard & Poor's B-
rating.  The debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among
178 widely quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in
secondary trading in the week ended Nov. 20.

Pembroke Pines, Florida-based Claire's Stores, Inc., is a
specialty retailer of value-priced jewelry and accessories for
girls and young women through its two store concepts: Claire's(R)
and Icing(R).  While the latter operates only in North America,
Claire's operates worldwide.  As of October 31, 2009, Claire's
61 Stores, Inc. operated 2,954 stores in North America and Europe.
Claire's Stores, Inc. also operates through its subsidiary,
Claire's Nippon, Co., Ltd., 215 stores in Japan as a 50:50 joint
venture with AEON, Co., Ltd.  The Company also franchises 192
stores in the Middle East, Turkey, Russia, South Africa, Poland
and Guatemala.

At August 1, 2009, the Company had $2.85 billion in total assets;
and $190.73 million in total current liabilities and $2.72 billion
in total long-term and other liabilities, resulting in
$60.10 million in stockholders' deficit.


CLARIENT INC: Obtained Waiver of Non-Compliance From Gemino
-----------------------------------------------------------
Clarient, Inc., reports that on November 13, 2009, it entered into
an amendment to its credit agreement dated July 31, 2008, with
Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC.

The Company was not in compliance with the minimum "fixed charge
coverage ratio" covenant as of September 30, 2009.

On November 13, 2009, the Company obtained a waiver of non-
compliance from Gemino Healthcare.

The Gemino Facility, as amended, continues to provide a revolving
credit facility under which the Company may borrow up to
$8.0 million from Gemino at an annual interest rate equal to the
30-day LIBOR (subject to a minimum annual rate of 2.50% at all
times) plus an applicable margin of 6.00%, secured by the
Company's accounts receivable and related assets through
January 31, 2011 (subject to acceleration if an event of default
occurs).

The Third Amendment extended the maturity date of the Gemino
Facility from January 31, 2010 to January 31, 2011, and eliminated
the minimum "Excess Liquidity" covenant of $3.0 million contained
within Section 6.06(b) of the Gemino Facility, as amended.

Excess Liquidity is defined as (i) the excess of availability
under the Gemino Facility, plus (ii) the aggregate amount actually
available to be borrowed by the Company under the Company's credit
facility with Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (paid in full and
retired on May 14, 2009), plus (iii) unrestricted and unencumbered
(other than in favor of Gemino) cash on hand and cash equivalents,
minus (iv) all accounts payable and other current obligations that
are past their respective due dates).

The Third Amendment requires a "maximum loan turnover ratio"
(average monthly loan balance divided by average monthly
repayments multiplied by 30 days) of 35 days, though only for the
three months ended December 31, 2009.  The Third Amendment also
requires a minimum annualized "fixed charge coverage ratio"
covenant of 1.00 for the three months ending March 31, 2010, 1.10
for six months ending June 30, 2010, 1.20 for the nine months
ending September 30, 2010, and 1.20 for the 12 months ending
December 31, 2010 and thereafter.

The "fixed charge coverage ratio" is defined as the ratio of
EBITDA (net income plus interest expense, tax expense,
depreciation/amortization expense, and stock-based compensation
expense), to the sum of (i) interest expense paid in cash on the
Gemino Facility, plus (ii) payments made under capital leases,
plus (v) unfinanced capital expenditures, plus (vi) taxes paid.

In addition, the Third Amendment increased the "Advance Rate" to
85% from 75%.  The Advance Rate increase results in greater
availability under the Gemino Facility, as it allows the Company
to borrow against an increased base of eligible accounts
receivable.  No other material terms or conditions of the Gemino
Facility were amended by the Third Amendment.

As of November 13, 2009 there was an aggregate of roughly
$6.0 million outstanding under the Gemino Facility.

                        3rd Quarter Results

Clarient reported a net loss of $3,235,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2009, from a net loss of $2,214,000 for the
same period a year ago.  The Company reported a net loss of
$3,362,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from a
net loss of $7,427,000 for the same period a year ago.

Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was
$21,425,000 from $18,997,000 for the same period a year ago.  Net
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was
$68,347,000 from $51,799,000.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $51,316,000 in total assets
against total current liabilities of $14,153,000, long-term
capital lease obligations of $806,000, deferred rent and other
non-current liabilities of $3,177,000, and redeemable Series A
convertible preferred stock of $38,586,000; resulting in
stockholders' deficit of $5,406,000.

Ron Andrews, Clarient Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
said, "Our business in terms of customer growth, case volumes,
tests per case, menu expansion and market penetration continues to
grow and indicates the potential for even stronger quarters ahead
for Clarient."

"At the beginning of 2009, management identified the reduction of
our bad debt and improvement of our billing and collections
processes as a top priority.  The third quarter's financials
include new information gathered after the close of the quarter
which allowed us to have a better understanding of payor behavior
patterns and will assist us in improving the future collectability
of our receivables. Having better information about our payors
will allow us to initiate action to engage them.  For example, one
of our goals will be to get non-paying, non-contracted insurers
under contract as rapidly as possible," Mr. Andrews said.  "That
strategy should improve our non-contracted payor collections and
position us to make positive rate adjustments in future periods.
Going forward, we believe that the net annual revenue impact of
the pricing adjustments for these payors will be less than five
percent annually, and the subsequent reduction of bad debt expense
over time should still allow us to achieve our earnings per share
goals in 2010."

COBALIS CORP: Confirms Filing of 5-Count Lawsuit Against Yorkville
------------------------------------------------------------------
Cobalis Corporation said that on November 9, it filed a five-count
adversarial complaint against secured creditor Yorkville
Advisors/YA Global Investments, L.P., formerly known as Cornell
Capital Partners, L P in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Santa Ana,
California.

Yorkville Advisors LLC is a consultancy that arranges financings
for public companies using a technique known as Private Investment
in Public Equities.  It has been alleged that YAGI and its
predecessor Cornell are one of the largest investors in PIPE
transactions and may have entered into over 300 transactions with
publicly traded companies.

On December 20, 2006, Cobalis entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement with Cornell whereby Cornell agreed to purchase up to
$3,850,000 of convertible debentures from Cobalis which could be
converted into Cobalis' common stock.  The transaction is
considered a PIPE transaction as commonly referred to in the
securities industry.

Over the next two to three years and beginning in April 2007, just
four months after the PIPE agreement was signed, YAGI sold over
15,000,000 shares of Cobalis stock pursuant to their joint
disclosure statement filing with the bankruptcy court.  From April
2007 to July 2007, Cobalis Corporation share price went from
approximately $1.20 per share to $0.10 per share significantly
impacting the ability of Cobalis to launch PreHistin(R) to world-
wide markets as a nutraceutical allergy relief alternative to
antihistamines or to secure funding for another Phase III FDA
clinical trial. The resulting drop in Cobalis share price amounted
to loss of approximately $60,000,000 in shareholder equity.

On August 1, 2007, less than seven months after execution of the
PIPE transaction, YAGI involuntarily filed to convert Cobalis to
Chapter 7 liquidation.  It has been alleged that this was done
ahead of the allowable cure periods for the alleged default as an
attempt to prevent Cobalis from honoring its obligations pursuant
to the PIPE transaction.

Following are a summary of the claims by Cobalis as filed in the
lawsuit:

   -- Two counts of Breach of Contract and allegations of
      "equitable fraud".

   -- Breach of contract and accumulating greater than 4.99% of
      Cobalis shares at one time.

   -- Securities Fraud for violation of SEC Rule 10-b-5 relating
      to short selling without proper representation.

   -- Equitable Fraud and Breach of Fiduciary Obligations by YAGI
      in collecting $415,000 in fees paid by Cobalis for execution
      of this PIPE transaction.

Cobalis is seeking for relief of costs and damages on all counts
and for such further relief as the court deems just and proper.
Tentative status conference hearing is scheduled for February 4,
2010.

Cobalis continues to operate and sell PreHistin(R) under a Chapter
11 reorganization and has submitted a reorganization plan to the
bankruptcy court that also has jurisdiction over this lawsuit, so
they may be successfully discharged from bankruptcy.

The Cobalis Plan intends to pay back all creditors at 100% of
allowable claims and also retains 100% of Cobalis shareholder
equity.  Cobalis believes YAGI may have already recouped all or
more of their investment from their sale of 15,000,000 Cobalis
shares.  If Cobalis pays back YAGI in full, YAGI will be required
to return over eight million (8,000,000) pledged shares of Cobalis
stock.

YAGI has also submitted a competing plan to the bankruptcy court.
Their plan, as filed with the court, intends to wipe-out the
common stock of Cobalis and its shareholders, pay creditors 4 to
15 cents on the dollar, and allow 90 % of revenues from the world
wide distribution of PreHistin(R) to be accrued to a Canadian
business entity alleged to have been recently purchased by YAGI
and managed by a current YAGI principal.

The next CH 11 plan hearing date is December 16, 2009.
Subsequently, creditors will be properly notified during January
2010 and have an opportunity to vote on the Cobalis Plan or the
YAGI competing plan, if either or both, are approved by the court
for plan confirmation vote by creditors.

Cobalis continues to execute their international sales, marketing,
distribution and licensing strategies and their previously
announced direct response television (DRTV) campaign for
PreHistin(R).  Current DRTV campaign launch is scheduled for
December 26, 2009.  Cobalis Corp is also initiating plans to
return to fully reporting status in early 2010.

                           About Cobalis Corp

Cobalis Corp. (OTC:CLSC) is an over the counter pharmaceutical and
nutraceutical company.  Its flagship product, PreHistin(R) is
designed to prevent the primary causes of airborne allergies.
PreHistin(R), "The World's FIRST Pre-Histamine"(R) is the only
Phase III clinically tested sublingual product fully patented for
long term and daily use without a prescription to help relieve
allergy sufferers from both indoor and outdoor allergens.

PreHistin(R) has shown in previous clinical studies to modulate
the body's level of immunoglobulin E (IgE), thus reducing the
overproduction of histamines, the primary cause of airborne
allergy symptoms.  Studies have shown that the active ingredient
in PreHistin(R), an FDA safety approved 3.3 mg Cyanocobalamin
(Vitamin B12) mega-dose sub-lingual lozenge has essentially no
risks or adverse side effects to the general population including
sedation and drowsiness found in many allergy medications
currently available.

Cobalis Corp. put itself in October 2007 (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case
No. 07-12347) in response to an involuntary liquidating Chapter 7
petition filed in August by Y.A. Global Investments LP, the holder
of $3 million in secured convertible debentures.

In August 2009, Cobalis Corporation filed a "five year"
reorganization plan.

COMMERCE BANK, FLORIDA: Stillwater Bank Assumes All Deposits
------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce Bank of Southwest Florida, Fort Myers, Florida, was
closed November 23 by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation,
which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as
receiver.  To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a
purchase and assumption agreement with Central Bank, Stillwater,
Minnesota, to assume all of the deposits of Commerce Bank of
Southwest Florida.

The sole branch of Commerce Bank of Southwest Florida will reopen
on Monday as a branch of Central Bank.  Depositors of Commerce
Bank of Southwest Florida will automatically become depositors of
Central Bank. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so
there is no need for customers to change their banking
relationship to retain their deposit insurance coverage.
Customers should continue to use their existing branch until
Central Bank can fully integrate the deposit records of Commerce
Bank of Southwest Florida.

As of August 28, 2009, Commerce Bank of Southwest Florida had
total assets of $79.7 million and total deposits of approximately
$76.7 million.  Central Bank did not pay a premium to assume all
of the deposits of Commerce Bank of Southwest Florida. In addition
to assuming all of the deposits of the failed bank, Central Bank
agreed to purchase essentially all of the assets.

The FDIC and Central Bank entered into a loss-share transaction on
approximately $61 million of Commerce Bank of Southwest Florida's
assets.  Central Bank will share in the losses on the asset pools
covered under the loss-share agreement.  The loss-share
transaction is projected to maximize returns on the assets covered
by keeping them in the private sector. The transaction also is
expected to minimize disruptions for loan customers.  For more
information on loss share, please visit:
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/lossshare/index.html

Customers who have questions about the transaction can call the
FDIC toll-free at 1-800-913-5370.  Interested parties also can
visit the FDIC's Web site at
http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/commercesw-fl.html

The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund
(DIF) will be $23.6 million.  Central Bank's acquisition of all
the deposits was the "least costly" resolution for the FDIC's DIF
compared to alternatives. Commerce Bank of Southwest Florida is
the 124th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this
year, and the twelfth in Florida.  The last FDIC-insured
institution closed in the state was Orion Bank, Naples, on
November 13, 2009.


CONNECTOR 2000: S&P Downgrades Rating on Bonds to 'C' From 'CC'
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating to 'C' from
'CC' on Connector 2000 Association Inc. of Greenville, S.C.'s
bonds and placed the rating on CreditWatch with negative
implications.

"The rating actions reflect S&P's view that a payment default on
the senior-lien bonds is expected to occur on the Jan. 1, 2010,
payment date, absent a debt restructuring that management does not
expect to conclude before that time," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Mary Ellen Wriedt.

The lowered rating reflects the continued failure of traffic and
revenues to reach projected levels and the tapping of the reserve
account for debt service payments since fiscal 2003.  There is
continued uncertainty regarding the project's long-term ability to
pay timely principal and interest under the current back-ended
amortization schedule.  Current figures provided by the
association indicate that the senior debt service reserve fund has
been nearly exhausted in 2009 following the July 1 interest

CONSECO INC: Subsidiary Inks Reinsurance Agreement with Wilton
--------------------------------------------------------------
Conseco, Inc., disclosed in a regulatory filing Friday a new
agreement under which its Bankers Life and Casualty Company
subsidiary will coinsure, with an effective date of October 1,
2009, about 237,000 life insurance policies with Wilton
Reassurance Company.  Wilton Re will pay a ceding commission of
approximately $45 million and 50% coinsure these policies, which
will continue to be administered by Bankers Life.

"This transaction is expected to increase Conseco's consolidated
risk-based capital ratio by 9 percentage points, along with
increasing statutory capital by the amount of the ceding
commission," said Conseco CEO Jim Prieur.

In the transaction, Bankers Life will transfer to Wilton Re
approximately $95 million in investment securities and policy
loans and $140 million of statutory policy and other liabilities.
The transaction, which is subject to the approval of insurance
regulators in Illinois and Wisconsin, is expected to be completed
in the fourth quarter of 2009.

As a result of the transaction, Conseco expects to record an
increase to its deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately
$19 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Conseco also expects
to record a pre-tax deferred cost of reinsurance of approximately
$30 million, which, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, will be amortized over the life of the
block, reducing quarterly pre-tax income from operations by
approximately $.5 million.  In addition, Conseco's future GAAP
income from operations will be reduced by the earnings from the
portion of the block that is coinsured; such pre-tax earnings
before overhead were approximately $2 million in the third quarter
of 2009.

COREL CORP: Directors Approve Vector's US$4 Per Share Tender Offer
------------------------------------------------------------------
Corel Corporation and Corel Holdings, L.P., a limited partnership
controlled by an affiliate of Vector Capital, said the directors
mandated by the Board of Directors of Corel to act as the Board
have unanimously determined to recommend, on behalf of the
Company, that shareholders tender their shares pursuant to the
CHLP tender offer.

Corel Holdings -- a holding company organized by VCP II
International LLC, a manager of private equity funds in the Cayman
Islands for the purpose of holding Corel shares -- is offering to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding Shares not already owned
by Vector for US$4.00 per Share, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions specified in an Offer to Purchase dated October 28,
2009, and related Letter of Transmittal, as amended and
supplemented.

Corel Holdings initially made an all-cash tender offer to acquire
all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Corel at
US$3.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and
less applicable withholding taxes.

Vector owns approximately 67% of the Company's outstanding Shares
on a fully-diluted basis.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase for Cash is
available at no charge at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?49e4

On November 16, Corel filed a Solicitation/Recommendation
Statement on Schedule 14D-9 announcing that the directors mandated
by its Board of Directors to act as the Board have unanimously
determined to recommend, on behalf of the Corel, that shareholders
tender their shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the
tender offer commenced by Corel Holdings.

The directors mandated to act as the Board with respect to this
matter are Daniel T. Ciporin, Steven Cohen and Barry A.
Tissenbaum.

In reaching their determination, Corel said its Board considered
numerous factors.  A full-text copy of Corel's statement is
available at no charge at http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?49e2

The Board has retained Genuity Capital Markets as its financial
advisor and Bennett Jones LLP and Kaye Scholer LLP as its legal
advisors.  The Company has retained Woodside Counsel, P.C. as U.S.
counsel, and Bennett Jones LLP, as Canadian legal counsel.

Innisfree M&A Incorporated is serving as information agent for the
tender offer.  Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Osler, Hoskin &
Harcourt LLP are acting as legal counsel to Vector Capital and
CHLP.

                   Potential Breach of Covenant

Genuity considered Corel's ability to maintain compliance with the
restrictive covenants under its existing credit facility based
upon available information.  In Genuity's view, assuming certain
one-time charges are incurred in the first quarter of 2010, the
Company would not be in compliance with the total leverage debt
covenant at the end of Q1 2010.  The Company's credit facility
provides for an "equity cure" in the event of covenant default
whereby the Company can apply the proceeds from an equity offering
(within certain limitations as fully described in the credit
facility agreements) directly towards EBITDA (as defined in such
credit facility agreements) for the purpose of calculating the
total leverage ratio.

Genuity believes that the ability to apply an "equity cure" in an
amount between $5 million and $10 million within 45 days of the
end of Q1 2010 will be available to the Company, and would be
sufficient to prevent the Company from violating the total
leverage covenant test at the end of Q1 2010.  If the Company
cannot effect an equity cure on terms that are reasonable or at
all, this may have a material adverse effect on the Company.  The
issuance of equity securities necessary to raise this capital
could result in substantial dilution to the Company's existing
stockholders.

                        Directors' Support

On November 17, the Company said the directors mandated to act on
behalf of the Board have carefully reviewed the CHLP tender offer
with the assistance of their financial and legal advisors.  In
addition, the Company said based on that review, the directors
have unanimously determined that the US$4.00 per share price
offered by CHLP in its tender offer is fair to the minority
shareholders and to recommend, on behalf of the Company, that
shareholders tender their shares pursuant to the CHLP tender
offer.

"We are delighted that the directors have resolved to support the
tender offer" said Amish Mehta, partner at Vector Capital.  "We
have arrived at an outcome that will provide the minority
shareholders with a significant premium for their shares and allow
Corel to benefit from being a private company."

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City
time on Wednesday, November 25, 2009.

The offer is conditioned upon, among other things, there being
validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration
of the offer a number of Corel common shares representing at least
a majority of the aggregate number of the outstanding common
shares (calculated on a fully-diluted basis as of the date the
shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the offer), excluding
the common shares beneficially owned by CHLP and its affiliates,
and the votes attaching to which shall be qualified to be included
as votes in favor of any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction -- as
defined in the offer to purchase relating to the offer -- in
determining whether minority approval (as construed under
applicable Canadian securities law) has been obtained in respect
thereof.  The Majority of the Minority Condition is not waivable.
The offer is not subject to a financing condition.

If the tender offer is successfully completed, CHLP will take
steps as necessary to acquire all common shares not tendered in
the offer at the same price per share as it paid in the offer, to
de-register Corel as a public company and to thereby cause Corel
to become a private company owned by CHLP.

CROWN UNLIMITED: 7th Cir. Concludes LBO Transaction Was Wrong
-------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that an Indiana bankruptcy court did not clearly
err in finding that the payments made by a Chapter 7 debtor in
purchasing, through a leveraged buyout (LBO), the assets of a
manufacturing company were made without receiving "reasonably
equivalent value," within the meaning of Indiana's Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act (UFTA).  Even if, as a result of obtaining
a $3.1 million bank loan and executing a $2.9 million promissory
note payable to the company, both of which were secured by liens
on all of the company's assets, and permitting the company's
shareholders to keep some of the company's cash through payment of
a $590,328.00 "dividend," the debtor was not actually insolvent ab
initio, all of its physical assets were encumbered twice over, and
the dividend plus the debtor's interest obligations drained the
company of virtually all its cash.  Thus, as a result of the lack
of equivalence, the debtor began life with "unreasonably small"
assets given the nature of its business.  Accordingly, bankruptcy
was a consequence both likely and foreseeable, and bankruptcy in
fact occurred some three-and-a-half years after the transaction.
Boyer v. Crown Stock Distribution, Inc., --- F.3d ----, 2009 WL
3837312 (7th Cir.) (Posner, Rovner and Williams, JJ.).

Crown Unlimited Machine, Inc., designed and manufacturered
machinery for cutting and bending tubes.  Most of the machinery it
made was custom-designed to the buyer's specifications, and only
two other companies manufactured custom-designed machinery of that
type.

In January 1999, Kevin E. Smith, the president of a company in a
similar line business, purchased Crown's assets for $6 million --
$500 of which he personally contributed and the balance being paid
from borrowed cash or delivery of promissory notes.

Old Crown (now called Crown Stock Distribution, Inc.) was reduced
to a pile of cash and notes, paid its debts and is in the process
of winding up for the benefit of its shareholders.

New Crown (which adopted the Crown Unlimited Machine, Inc., name)
was a flop.  It declared bankruptcy in July 2003, and its assets
were sold to Crown Acquisition, LLC (a new company of which Mr.
Smith is the president and is now doing business as Crown
Unlimited Machine, Inc.) for $3.7 million.  Most of the money
realized in the sale was required for paying off the bank; very
little was left over to pay the claims of New Crown's unsecured
creditors, who were owed some $1.6 or $1.7 million.

R. David Boyer, in his capacity as the Chapter 7 Trustee for New
Crown, sued (Bankr. N.D. Ind. Adv. Pro. No. 04-1085) Old Crown,
seeking to recover, as fraudulent transfers under Indiana law,
$3.3 million that the debtor had made to the now-defunct
manufacturing company for the purchase of the company's assets,
and an additional $590,328.00 "dividend" that company distributed
to its shareholders around the time of the sale.  The United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Indiana
entered order avoiding the transaction as fraudulent as to the
$3.3 million payments, but ruled that the "dividend" was
legitimate.  The Defendants appealed, and the trustee filed a
cross-appeal.  The District Court (N.D. Ind. Case No. 06-cv-409),
Robert L. Miller, Jr., Chief Judge, 2009 WL 418275, affirmed, and
appeals were then taken to the Seventh Circuit.  The Seventh
Circuit holds that (1) the parties' transaction was a leveraged
buyout; (2) the bankruptcy court did not clearly err in finding
that debtor's payments were made without receiving "reasonably
equivalent value" under Indiana's Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act
(UFTA); (3) the "dividend" was part of the fraudulent transfer,
not a normal distribution of previously earned profits; and (4)
trustee was entitled to recover from shareholders, as initial
transferees, the payments of $3.3 million as well as the $590,328
"dividend."


CRUSADER ENERGY: Jones Energy's $289MM Offer Wins Auction
---------------------------------------------------------
Crusader Energy Group Inc. disclosed that J/M Crusader Acquisition
Sub LLC, a subsidiary of Jones Energy Ltd., was the successful
bidder at an auction conducted on Friday, November 13.  Jones'
successful bid is to acquire all shares of the common stock of
Crusader that will be issued upon the effectiveness of the
reorganization of Crusader and its wholly owned subsidiaries under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

Under Crusader's proposed plan of reorganization, all of the
currently outstanding equity interests in Crusader would be
cancelled upon consummation of the Jones transaction and Crusader
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries would become subsidiaries of
Jones.

Jones agreed to pay a combination of cash and a contractual
contingent payment right to receive 22% of the net cash flow from
certain of Crusader's properties after the closing.  The Jones'
bid was valued in the aggregate at $289 million, of which
$240.5 million will be in cash, subject to customary closing
adjustments. The contractual contingent payment right has an
agreed value of $48.5 million among Crusader and certain of its
creditors.  Based on the consideration to be paid by Jones, the
holders of Crusader's outstanding equity interests would not
receive any distribution under the proposed plan of reorganization
on account of their equity interests.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions,
as well as confirmation of Crusader's plan of reorganization by
the Bankruptcy Court.  The closing is expected to occur during the
fourth quarter of 2009.

In addition, Crusader completed the sale of certain oil and gas
assets in the Whittenburg Basin in the Texas Panhandle on
November 13, 2009.  As previously announced, the Whittenburg Basin
assets were subject to a separate sales process structured as a
sale of assets under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code.  Gunn Oil Company, Cogent Exploration, Ltd., and Apollo
Exploration, LLC, acquired the Whittenburg Basin assets for
$400,000.00 in cash and the assumption of approximately
$9.9 million of certain contractual obligations of Crusader and
its subsidiaries.

Jefferies & Company, Inc. acts as financial adviser to Crusader in
its Chapter 11 reorganization and advised Crusader on this
transaction.  Vinson & Elkins LLP is restructuring and
reorganization counsel to Crusader.

                      The Chapter 11 Plan

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas,
Dallas Division, has approved the disclosure statement explaining
Crusader Energy Group Inc., et al.'s amended joint plan of
reorganization.  The Court also approved the filing of the Plan
Supplement no later than November 25, 2009.  Completed ballots
must be received on or before 4:00 p.m. on December 4, 2009

The Court has scheduled a confirmation hearing for December 15,
2009, at 9:00 a.m.  The Court also fixed December 4, 2009, at
4:00 p.m. as the deadline for filing of written objections to the
confirmation of the Plan, including the assumption or rejection of
executory contracts and unexpired leases.

The Plan contemplates the restructuring of the Debtors through a

purchase agreement with SandRidge Exploration and Production, LLC

and better offer -- all outstanding equity interests of Crusader
will be cancelled and new stock in Reorganized Crusader will be
issued to the potential buyer.

DATATEL INC: Moody's Assigns Corporate Family Rating at 'B1'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned new ratings to Datatel, Inc.,
following the company's announcement that it has agreed to be
acquired by private-equity sponsors Hellman & Friedman LLC and JMI
Equity in a leveraged buyout for $570 million.  Ratings assigned
include B1 corporate family rating, Ba3 ratings to the proposed
$165 million first-lien senior secured term loan and the proposed
$40 million revolving credit facility, and a B3 rating to its
proposed $100 million second-lien senior secured term loan
facility.  The rating outlook is stable.  Proceeds from the new
credit facilities will be used to repay obligations under its
existing first and second lien facilities.

Concurrently, Moody's assigned a Ba3 rating to Datatel's existing
amended/extended first lien revolving credit facility.  This
assignment is in accordance with the application of Moody's Loss
Given Default Methodology.  As part of the amendment and extension
of the existing credit facility, Datatel extended the maturity of
$15 million of the existing revolving credit facility to April
2011.

Datatel's B1 CFR reflects the company's solid and defensible
market position as a leading administrative systems supplier of
enterprise resource planning software solutions for the North
American higher education market, where it has steadily expanded
its customer base to more than 760 subscribing institutions.  The
rating is also supported by Datatel's high levels of recurring
maintenance revenue, coupled with very high customer retention
rates in the 98% range, which provides the company with stable
revenue streams, predictable profit and good cash flow generation.
Conversely, the ratings are constrained by Datatel's small size /
scale relative to some of its larger competitors, its niche market
focus, and its high pro forma leverage financial leverage of 5.4x,
which is somewhat weak for the rating level.

The stable ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectation that
Datatel will maintain its track record of stable revenue and
profit growth and quickly reduce its financial leverage through
strong cash flow generation and EBITDA expansion.  To the extent
that Datatel's free cash flow generation and/or debt reduction
velocity is weaker than expected, this could apply pressure to the
company's ratings and/or outlook.

Datatel, Inc.

These ratings and assessments were assigned to Datatel (NewCo):

* Corporate Family Rating -- B1

* Probability of Default Rating -- B1

* Proposed $40 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
  due 2014 -- Ba3 (LGD3, 32%)

* Proposed $165 million Senior Secured 1st Lien Term Loan due 2015
  -- Ba3 (LGD3, 32%)

* Proposed $100 million Senior Secured 2nd Lien Term Loan due 2016
  -- B3 (LGD5, 86%)

The ratings outlook is stable

All the ratings at Datatel (NewCo) are subject to the closing of
the transaction and Moody's review of final documentation.

Datatel, Inc. (OLD)

These ratings and assessments were assigned:

* Existing Amended / Extended $15 million Senior Secured Revolving
  Credit Facility due 2011 -- Ba3 (LGD3, 30%)

Upon closing of the proposed transaction and repayment of existing
debt, Moody's will withdraw the ratings of Datatel (OLD)
including:

* Corporate Family Rating -- B1

* Probability of Default Rating -- B1

* Amended / Extended $15 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit
  Facility due 2011 -- Ba3 (LGD3, 30%)

* $20 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility due 2010 --
  Ba3 (LGD3, 30%)

* $140 million Senior Secured 1st Lien Term Loan due April 2011 --
  Ba3 (LGD3, 30%)

* $70 million Senior Secured 2nd Lien Term Loan due October 2012 -
  - B3 (LGD5, 84%)

* Ratings Outlook -- Stable

Moody's last rating action was on September 25, 2006, when Moody's
raised the rating on the first lien revolving credit facility and
term loan to Ba3 (LGD3, 33%) from B1 and affirmed the B3 (LGD5,
86%) rating on the second lien term loan in congruence with the
implementation of Moody's Probability-of-Default and Loss-Given-
Default rating methodology for the U.S. Technology Software
sector.

held provider of ERP software exclusively for the higher education

DELPHI CORP: Appaloosa Settles Charges on Botched Buyout
--------------------------------------------------------
As widely reported, DPH Holdings Corp. reached a settlement
resolving Delphi Corporation's lawsuit against investors led by
Appaloosa Management, L.P.

Delphi filed a reorganization plan in September 2007, as
subsequently confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York in January 2008.  However, by
April 2008, consummation of the Plan was halted when plan
investors led by AMLP backed out of a $2.5 billion equity
financing commitment under the Confirmed Plan.

No updates with respect to the Appaloosa settlement was made
available in DPH Holdings and the Appaloosa's adversary complaint
dockets.

                         About Delphi Corp

Based in Troy, Michigan, Delphi Corporation (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ)
-- http://www.delphi.com/-- was a global supplier of mobile

electrical/electronic architecture, and in-car entertainment
technologies.  Delphi had approximately 146,600 employees and
operates 150 wholly owned manufacturing sites in 34 countries with
sales of $18.1 billion in 2008.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on October 8, 2005
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 05-44481).  John Wm. Butler Jr.,
Esq., John K. Lyons, Esq., and Ron E. Meisler, Esq., at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, represent the Debtors in their
restructuring efforts.  Robert J. Rosenberg, Esq., Mitchell A.
Seider, Esq., and Mark A. Broude, Esq., at Latham & Watkins LLP,
represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  As of
June 30, 2008, the Debtors' balance sheet showed US$9,162,000,000
in total assets and US$23,742,000,000 in total debts.

The Court confirmed Delphi's plan on January 25, 2008.  The Plan
was not consummated after a group led by Appaloosa Management,
L.P., backed out from their proposal to provide US$2,550,000,000
in equity financing to Delphi.  At the end of July 2009, Delphi
obtained confirmation of a revised plan, build upon a sale of the
assets to a entity formed by some of the lenders who provided
$4 billion of debtor-in-possession financing, and General Motors
Company.

On October 6, 2009, Delphi Corp.'s Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization became effective.  A Master Disposition Agreement
executed among Delphi Corporation, Motors Liquidation Company,
General Motors Company, GM Components Holdings LLC, and DIP Holdco
3, LLC, divides Delphi's business among three separate parties --
DPH Holdings LLC, GM Components, and DIP Holdco 3.

Delphi emerged from Chapter 11 as DPH Holdings.  DPH Holdings will
remain responsible for the post-Effective Date administration and
eventual closing of the Chapter 11 cases as well as the
disposition of certain retained assets and payment of certain
retained liabilities as provided under the Modified Plan.

DELPHI CORP: Had $2.6 Billion Net Loss for Third Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------
DPH Holdings Corp. and its affiliates submitted to the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on
November 17, 2009, a consolidated operating report for the
quarter ended September 30, 2009.

The Reorganized Debtors clarify that financial data on the non-
debtor entities, principally non-U.S. affiliates, are excluded
from the quarterly operating report.

DPH Holdings incurred an operating loss of $207 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2009.

John C. Brooks, president of DPH Holdings Corp., disclosed that
for the three months ended September 30, 2009, General Motors
Company funded an additional $13 million of Other Post-Employment
Benefit payments made to the Debtors' hourly workforce.  As of
September 30, 2009, the Debtors had a $51 million receivable from
GM related to the funding of the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America buydown arrangements under 2007 U.S. hourly
attrition programs.

Mr. Brooks said that upon the effective date of the Modified
First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, the Master
Restructuring Agreement between the Debtors and GM was
terminated; and the Master Disposition Agreement among the
Debtors, GM, Motors Liquidation Company, GM Components Holdings,
LLC, and DIP Holdco 3, LLC, and certain ancillary agreements now
govern the commercial relationship among GM, DPH Holdings, and
DIP Holdco 3.

These activities occurred under the Amended MRA during the three
months ended September 30, 2009:

* Keep Site Facilitation Fee -- On March 31, 2009, June 30,
   2009, and September 30, 2009, the Debtors received quarterly
   installments of the annual Keep Site Facilitation Fee of
   $27.5 million, of which $29 million was recorded as revenue in
   the three months ended September 30, 2009, and $8 million
   remains recorded as a deferred liability at September 30, 2009.

* During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Debtors
   received $31 million of reimbursement from GM of hourly labor
   costs exceeding $26 per hour.  The Debtors recorded
   $14 million as a reduction to cost of sales during the three
   months ended September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009,
   $5 million is recorded as receivable from GM.

* Production Cash Burn Breakeven Reimbursement -- During the
   three months ended September 30, 2009, the Debtors received
   $47 million of production cash burn breakeven reimbursement
   from GM.  The Debtors recorded $18 million in income
   from discontinued operations during the three months ended
   September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, $16 million is
   recorded as receivable from GM.

* Reimbursement of Hourly Workers' Compensation and Other
   Benefits -- During the three months ended September 30, 2009,
   the Debtors received reimbursement from GM of $13 million.
   The Debtors recorded $12 million as a reduction to cost of
   sales during the three months ended September 30, 2009.  As of
   September 30, 2009, $7 million is recorded as receivable from
   GM.

As of September 30, 2009, about $73 million of the Global
Settlement Agreement, as amended, entered between the Debtors and
GM and Amended MRA accounts receivable was included in accounts
receivable and $ 6 million was included in assets held for sale
on the condensed combined balance sheet, Mr. Brooks related.

DELPHI CORP: Wants Off-Calendar Motions Dismissed
-------------------------------------------------
The Modified First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Delphi
Corp. and certain of its affiliates became effective on Oct. 6,
2009.  Delphi subsequently emerged from Chapter 11.  The
Reorganized Debtors inform the Court that they are currently
administering the Modified Plan and are working to close their
Chapter 11 cases without delay.

John Wm. Butler, Jr., Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, notes that to be eligible for
closure, the estates of the Debtors must be "substantially
administered."  One of the factors courts consider in determining
whether an estate has been fully administered is whether all
motions, contested maters, and adversary proceedings have been
finally resolved.

Accordingly, by this motion, the Reorganized Debtors ask the
Court to:

  (i) dismiss 12 motions that have not been prosecuted in years
      under Rule 7041 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
      Procedure; and

(ii) dispose of 71 separate contested matters arising from the
      Solicitation Procedures Motion dated September 6, 2007.

The Reorganized Debtors identified eight Lift Stay Motions that
have not been prosecuted in years.  Mr. Butler contends that
allowing the Lift Stay Motions to remain on the docket is
prejudicial to the Reorganized Debtors' efforts to administer
their Chapter 11 cases efficiently.  The Reorganized Debtors thus
assert that the Lift Stay Motions should be dismissed pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 7041.

A list of the Lift Stay Motions is available for free at:

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

Moreover, the Reorganized Debtors believe that three motions for
standing to prosecute claims and defenses against General Motors
Corporation and former officers of the Debtors filed by the
Official Committee of Equity Security Holders and Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors are mooted.  Mr. Butler explains
that the Debtors' claims and defenses against the proposed
defendants have been settled or released pursuant to an Amended
Global Settlement Agreement and the Modified Plan.  He adds that
the Equity Committee and the Creditors' Committee have been
disbanded and thus, neither committee exists to prosecute the
Standing Motions.  Since the rights of Equity Committee and the
Creditors' Committee to pursue the claims are derivative of the
Reorganized Debtors' rights and the Reorganized Debtors have not
retained those rights, the Standing Motions should thus be
dismissed, he points out.

The Reorganized Debtors also point out that Computer Patent
Annuities Limited's Motion to Compel their decision on the
creditor's contract has not been prosecuted since it was filed
three years ago.  The Debtors, Mr. Butler notes, have already
made their decision on all executory contracts and leases
pursuant to the Modified Plan and the Confirmation Order.
Pursuant to notices delivered in July 2009, the contract would be
assigned to DIP Holdco 3, LLC.

Under the confirmed First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization
dated January 25, 2008, holders of general unsecured claims other
than Trust-Originated Preferred Securities or "TOPrS" claims were
to be entitled to payment of postpetition interest from the
Petition Date through December 31, 2007 at either (i) the
Michigan statutory rate, or (ii) at the applicable contractual
non-default rate.  Subsequently, 55 parties challenged the
Michigan statutory rate, a list of which is available for free
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/Delphi_InterestRateParties.pdf
However, Mr. Butler points out, under the Modified Plan confirmed
in July 2009, holders of general unsecured claims are not
entitled to postpetition interest.  Thus, the Reorganized Debtors
seek the Court's authority to withdraw their omnibus response to
the Interest Rate Parties and ask the Court to deem the contested
matters moot.

The Reorganized Debtors identified 14 parties that objected to
the Cure Amount Notices in 2008 in connection with the January
2008 Confirmed Plan.  The Reorganized Debtors noted that pursuant
to the Modification Procedures Order dated June 16, 2009, the 14
parties received a Notice of Non-Assumption because their
contracts with the Debtors were no longer being assumed.  The
deadline to object to the Non-Assumption Notice has passed and
the parties did not object to the Notices of Non-Assumption,
according to Mr. Butler.  Thus, he asserts, the objections to the
Cure Amount Notices filed by the parties are now inapplicable.
Accordingly, the Reorganized Debtors ask the Court to overrule
the objections filed by the 14 parties, a list of which is
available for free at:

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

Moreover, the Reorganized Debtors relate that AT&T and Clarion
filed reservations of rights with respect to certain Cure Amount
Notices.  Mr. Butler discloses that the Debtors and AT&T and
Clarion executed stipulations resolving their cure amount
disputes.  Accordingly, the Reorganized Debtors believe that the
reservations of rights should be deemed withdrawn or dismissed.

In addition, Atmel Corporation filed a reservation of rights,
asserting that Purchase Order No. P71057 was not listed as an
executory contract to be assumed under the Confirmed Plan.
Mr. Butler points out that Atmel's failure to prosecute its
reservation of rights is prejudicial to the Reorganized
Debtors because outstanding pleadings on the docket impede the
Reorganized Debtors' efforts to administer their Chapter 11
cases.  Moreover, Liquidity Solutions, Inc., objected to the Cure
Amount Notices, seeking that any cure amounts be paid directly to
Liquidity Solutions as assignee.  He explains that under the
Modified Plan, all cure amounts will be paid in cash and cure
payments will be made only to the counterparty.  The Reorganized
Debtors thus ask the Court to overrule the reservation of rights
and objection.

                        Parties Respond

Methode Electronics, Inc.'s Lift Stay Motion to permit setoff are
the among the Motions the Debtors want dismissed.  Timothy S.
McFadden, Esq., at Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP, in Chicago,
Illinois, tells the Court the Debtors' counsel asked Methode to
consent to an adjournment of the Lift Stay Motion shortly after
the Motion was filed to allow the parties to resolve any dispute.
Mr. McFadden notes that the Debtors and Methode came close to
finalizing a stipulation before the attorney handling the
parties' issues for the Debtors left his firm.  He adds that
since the Reorganized Debtors' Motion to Dismiss, Methode and the
Debtors have renewed their efforts to resolve the Lift Stay
Motion.  In this light, Methode asks the Court to deny the Motion
to Dismiss as it relates to its Lift Stay Motion.

SKF USA Inc. asserts that only a portion of its Cure Objection
filed in February 2008 that dealt with the non-assumed contracts
pursuant to the Notice of Non-Assumption should be deemed moot.
SKF thus asks the Court to deny the Motion to Dismiss absent
language providing that (i) the Cure Objection is moot and
overruled only to the extent that it deals with the potential
assumption of the Non-Assumed Contracts; and (ii) the order will
not affect in any way SKF's right to receive payment of $87,5446
as prepetition cure amount for the contracts assumed by the
Debtors under a July 10, 2009 notice or administrative claims.
SKF USA also asks the Court to direct the Debtors' immediate
payment of the Prepetition Cure Amount.

For its part, Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership and
Freudenberg-NOK, Inc. allege that the Reorganized Debtors failed
to comply with a stipulation resolving Freudenberg's objection to
the Cure Amount Notices.  Unless and until the Reorganized
Debtors comply with the Stipulation, Freudenberg asks the Court
to deny the Motion to Dismiss with respect to Freudenberg's Cure
Amount Objection.

Barbara Pauline Burger argues that she is neither asking for
postpetition interest with respect to her claim nor is a party to
the Interest Rate dispute.  Instead, she continues to seek claims
for life time retirement benefits for salaried employees.
Accordingly, she objects to the inclusion of her Claim No. 6468
among the claims to be mooted pursuant to the Interest Rate
dispute.

                        Debtors Talk Back

The Debtors' counsel, Mr. Butler informs the Court that Methode
and the Reorganized Debtors have agreed to adjourn hearing with
respect to the Methode Lift Stay Motion to December 18, 2009.
Methode and the Reorganized Debtors are finalizing a stipulation
for the resolution of the Lift Stay Motion and will continue to
work towards a resolution of this matter prior to the Dec. 18,
hearing.

As to Ms. Burger's objection, Mr. Butler points out that she did
not indicate what interest rate she preferred in the interest
rate notice.  Thus, Ms. Burger's notice was included in the
Interest Rate objections creating a contested matter that the
Reorganized Debtors seek to resolve as moot, Mr. Butler
elaborates.  He discloses via a telephonic conversation that the
Reorganized Debtors explained to Ms. Burger that the Motion to
Dismiss does not seek to affect the adjudication of her claim,
which is part of a separate process.  During the conversation,
Ms. Burger confirmed that she no longer has an objection to the
Motion to Dismiss and would not be pursuing it further.  Counsel
to the Reorganized Debtors also sent Ms. Burger a letter,
memorializing the telephone conversation and explaining that the
Reorganized Debtors would represent to the Court that the
objection was no longer being pursued.  In light of these events,
the Reorganized Debtors assert that Ms. Burger's Objection has
been resolved.

To resolve SKF's objection, the Reorganized Debtors propose to
insert a language in a revised proposed order to the Motion to
Dismiss, stating that SKF's Cure Objection and related statement
will be deemed withdrawn only upon the Reorganized Debtors'
payment of $87,447 to SKF to cure prepetition defaults on the
assumed contracts.  Moreover, the Prepetition Cure Amount will be
paid to SKF in cash immediately and any order to the Motion to
Dismiss will not affect SKF's right to pursue and obtain payment
of any properly asserted administrative claims, Mr. Butler notes.

To address Freudenberg's objection, Mr. Butler says that the
Reorganized Debtors caused checks on November 17, 2009, to
be sent via overnight mail to Freudenberg and its appropriate
subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of $104,565 in satisfaction
of the Reorganized Debtors' obligations under the stipulation.
The Reorganized Debtors also agreed to insert in the Revised
Proposed Order a language stating that approval of the Motion to
Dismiss as to Freudenberg's objection will be effective only on
Freudenberg's receipt of the $104,565 as cure payments.

According the Debtors ask the Court to grant the Motion to
Dismiss pursuant to the Revised Proposed Order, a full-text copy

                         About Delphi Corp

Based in Troy, Michigan, Delphi Corporation (PINKSHEETS: DPHIQ)
-- http://www.delphi.com/-- was a global supplier of mobile
electronics and transportation systems, including powertrain,
safety, steering, thermal, and controls & security systems,
electrical/electronic architecture, and in-car entertainment
technologies.  Delphi had approximately 146,600 employees and
operates 150 wholly owned manufacturing sites in 34 countries with
sales of $18.1 billion in 2008.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on October 8, 2005
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 05-44481).  John Wm. Butler Jr.,
Esq., John K. Lyons, Esq., and Ron E. Meisler, Esq., at Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, represent the Debtors in their
restructuring efforts.  Robert J. Rosenberg, Esq., Mitchell A.
Seider, Esq., and Mark A. Broude, Esq., at Latham & Watkins LLP,
represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.  As of
June 30, 2008, the Debtors' balance sheet showed US$9,162,000,000
in total assets and US$23,742,000,000 in total debts.

The Court confirmed Delphi's plan on January 25, 2008.  The Plan
was not consummated after a group led by Appaloosa Management,
L.P., backed out from their proposal to provide US$2,550,000,000
in equity financing to Delphi.  At the end of July 2009, Delphi
obtained confirmation of a revised plan, build upon a sale of the
assets to a entity formed by some of the lenders who provided
$4 billion of debtor-in-possession financing, and General Motors
Company.

On October 6, 2009, Delphi Corp.'s Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization became effective.  A Master Disposition Agreement
executed among Delphi Corporation, Motors Liquidation Company,
General Motors Company, GM Components Holdings LLC, and DIP Holdco
3, LLC divides Delphi's business among three separate parties --
DPH Holdings LLC, GM Components, and DIP Holdco 3.

Delphi emerged from Chapter 11 as DPH Holdings.  DPH Holdings will
remain responsible for the post-Effective Date administration and
eventual closing of the Chapter 11 cases as well as the
disposition of certain retained assets and payment of certain
retained liabilities as provided under the Modified Plan.

DELSECUR CORP: To Sell IP to QTECH; Montreal Unit in Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------------------
delSECUR CORPORATION transferred intellectual property assets to
QTECH SYSTEMS INC., an Ontario company on November 17.  The
transfer was made after the agreement was finalized on October 24
and delSECUR obtained shareholder approval to sell a patent from
Pierre de Lanauze.

This transaction has resulted in delSECUR CORPORATION becoming the
holder of 49% of QTECH's stock.  QTECH SYSTEMS INC. is a privately
held company based in Brantford, Ontario and is managed primarily
by John Johnston, CEO, who has an extensive background in the
technology field.  McCormick, CEO of delSECUR CORPORATION has been
elected to the board of directors, one of two seats to which
delSECUR CORPORATION is entitled.  Along with his technical staff
Mr. Johnston is "excited about the prospects of testing and
proving the del-ID technology" invented by Pierre de Lanauze who
will stay on staff as a consultant.  QTECH, who have primarily
focused upon digital facial scan biometrics up until now see a
real need in the marketplace for finger scan imaging, "especially
if it is differentiated from digital fingerprinting, as emphasized
in Mr. de Lanauze's patent," said Mr. Johnston.

In other news, as part of a restructuring following the QTECH
transaction, on November 5, 2009, delSECUR CORPORATION management
placed its Montreal subsidiary into bankruptcy.  This subsidiary
was insolvent and had earlier lost its right to commercialize the
del-ID technology.

This restructuring will have no impact on delSECUR CORPORATION and
its stockholders.  Clearly the interests of delSECUR CORPORATION
and its stockholders rests in the success of QTECH and the del-ID
technology.

company going to delSECUR CORPORATION.


DELTA AIR: Mulled Offer to JAL Won't Affect S&P's 'B' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that Delta Air Lines
Inc.'s (B/Negative/--) proposal to provide funding to Japan
Airlines Corp. (CC/Watch Neg/--) will not affect the ratings or
outlook on Delta.

The $1 billion proposal from Delta and its SkyTeam alliance
partners (including Air France-KLM (not rated)) includes Delta
providing a $300 million revenue guarantee and $200 million of
asset-backed funding to financially ailing JAL.  The alliance will
provide another $500 million of capital.

Negotiations on a new U.S.-Japan "open skies" aviation treaty, in
which U.S. airlines could allow other airlines increased access to
serve Japan and routes beyond Japan, are currently ongoing.  If
and when the treaty is concluded, it appears that Delta's and
JAL's current alliance partner American Airlines Inc. (a unit of
AMR Corp., (both B-/Negative/--) who is also interested in
investing in JAL), would likely seek antitrust immunity from
regulators.  That would allow partner airlines to coordinate
pricing and other activities, and could lead to a joint venture in
which the partners would share revenues on specified routes.
Delta and Air France-KLM currently operate such a joint venture on
their trans-Atlantic routes.  However, regulatory clearance for
Delta and JAL to operate with antitrust immunity could prove more
challenging than a similar request from American and JAL, because
Delta (through its Northwest Airlines Inc. (B/Negative/--)
subsidiary) is already one of two major U.S. airlines that
currently has the authority to fly routes to and beyond Japan
("fifth freedom" rights).  The other U.S. airline with this
authority is UAL Corp. unit United Air Lines Inc. (B-/Negative/
--), which is linked with the other major Japanese airline, All
Nippon Airways Ltd. (not rated) through the Star Alliance.  That
alliance, like the current one between American and JAL, includes
marketing cooperation, but does not have antitrust immunity and
does not involve a joint venture.  JAL is currently the major
North Pacific partner in the oneworld alliance, which includes
American Airlines.  The Japanese government-backed entity
Enterprise Turnaround Initiative Corp. is in the process of
restructuring JAL.  The ultimate resolution of the investment in
JAL, and by which party (if any), could take some time and is also
subject to other developments, such as progress on a new U.S.-
Japan aviation treaty.

DJO FINANCE: Moody's Affirms Corporate Family Rating at 'B2'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed the ratings of DJO Finance LLC,
including the B2 Corporate Family and Probability of Default
Ratings.  The ratings outlook is stable.  Moody's also affirmed
the Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of SGL-3 reflecting the
potential for reduced financial flexibility over the next four
quarters resulting from an aggressive tightening of the senior
secured leverage ratio.

DJO's B2 Corporate Family Rating continues to reflect the
company's considerable financial leverage, limited interest
expense coverage and modest free cash flow generation.
Improvements in credit metrics anticipated at the time of the
combination of DJO and ReAble have been much slower than expected
resulting in a relatively weak credit profile for the B2 rating.
However, the ratings also reflect recent improvement as synergies
from the combination and cost containment initiatives, including
restructuring certain business lines, begin to be reflected in the
company's operating results.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that
additional benefits from synergies, cost containment initiatives
and restructuring will benefit earnings and cash flow generation
in future periods.  However, Moody's also anticipate that
improvement will be necessary to offset challenges in growing the
business in this difficult operating environment and to maintain
compliance with increasingly restrictive financial covenants.
Consequently, any deterioration in operating performance and the
resulting credit metrics or increasing uncertainty of covenant
compliance could result in a negative rating action.

Following is a summary of Moody's rating actions.

Ratings affirmed:

  -- $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility due
     2013 at Ba3 (LGD2, 27%)

  -- $1,055 million senior secured term loan due 2014 at Ba3
     (LGD2, 27%)

  -- $575 million senior unsecured notes due 2014 at Caa1 (LGD5,
     78%)

  -- $200 million senior subordinated notes due 2014 at Caa1
     (LGD6, 94%)

  -- Corporate Family Rating at B2

  -- Probability of Default Rating at B2

  -- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-3

Moody's last rating action was on October 30, 2007, when Moody's
assigned a Ba3 rating to the proposed credit facility and a Caa1
rating to the proposed issuance of $575 million senior unsecured
notes.

DJO, through its subsidiaries, is a provider of orthopedic devices
used in rehabilitation, pain management and physical therapy.  The
company also develops, manufactures and distributes a broad range
of reconstructive joint implant products.  The company recognized
approximately $960 million of revenue for the twelve months ended
September 26, 2009.

EASTON-BELL SPORTS: S&P Gives Positive Outlook; Keeps 'B-' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
outlook on sporting good company Easton-Bell Sports Inc. to
positive from developing.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's
affirmed its ratings on Easton-Bell, including its 'B-' corporate
credit rating.

In addition, Standard & Poor's assigned its 'B-' issue rating to
Easton-Bell's proposed $325 million seven-year senior secured
notes.  The recovery rating on the notes is '4', indicating that
S&P expects average (30% to 50%) recovery for lenders in the event
of a payment default or bankruptcy.  Pro forma for the proposed
transaction, total debt at Easton-Bell is about $424 million.

"The outlook revision to positive from developing reflects the
resolution of financial covenant compliance concerns and an
improvement in near-term liquidity based on the proposed
recapitalization and the potential for credit measure improvement
if cost savings initiatives lead to profit growth," said Standard
& Poor's credit analyst Jerry Phelan.

The ratings are based on the proposed terms for each of the
$325 million senior secured notes, the unrated $250 million asset
backed revolving credit facility, the exchange and extension of
approximately $105 million of unrated holding company term loans,
and $115 million of new holding company preferred equity.  If
completed, S&P expects to withdraw its 'B' rating on the existing
$415 million senior secured bank credit facility and 'CCC' rating
on the existing $140 million senior subordinated notes, which S&P
expects will be repaid.

The ratings on Easton-Bell reflect the group's aggressive
financial policy and high leverage, participation in the highly
competitive sporting goods industry, expectations for continued
weak consumer and institutional spending, modest forecasted free
cash flow generation, and limited geographic diversity.  The
company benefits from its solid market share in certain cycling,
football, baseball, softball, and hockey equipment product
categories.

Easton-Bell is a leading company in the sporting goods industry
specializing in protective head gear and performance products.
The company has well recognized brand names, strong No. 1 or No. 2
positions, and solid market shares in select product categories
including cycling helmets (Bell and Giro), football
helmets/shoulder pads (Riddell), baseball/softball bats (Easton),
and hockey sticks (Easton).  In general, Easton-Bell's products
tend to be higher-end, premium offerings, and sales have dropped
during the recession because of reduced demand and trade down to
less expensive options, in particular with respect to
aluminum/composite baseball bats.

The outlook is positive.  S&P expects Easton-Bell to maintain
adequate cash and revolving credit facility availability over the
next year, though believe the company will generate limited free
cash flow.  S&P could raise the rating if the company maintains
adequate liquidity, profitability rebounds on cost savings
initiatives and/or demand growth, and leverage declines to less
than 7.5x, which S&P estimate could occur if sales grow by 4% and
EBITDA margin expands by about 100 basis points.  S&P could lower
the rating if liquidity is materially pressured, which could occur
if the company meaningfully increases working capital levels
without an improvement in consumer spending, or if competition in
the sporting goods industry increases further.


EDGE PETROLEUM: Creditor Objects To Sale Over Lease Interests
-------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that New Mexico-based creditor Chisos Ltd. is
objecting to Edge Petroleum Corp.'s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan
and asset sale because it claims it would potentially subvert its
preferential rights to oil and gas leases in New Mexico.

Edge Petroleum Corp. has won approval of the disclosure statement
explaining its Chapter 11 plan.  Edge Petroleum will present the
plan for confirmation and the results of an auction for all assets
on December 11.

                        The Chapter 11 Plan

The reorganization plan is built upon the sale of the Company's
assets.  The Chapter 11 plan and sale are supported by the holders
of at least two-thirds of the $227.5 million debt under the
secured credit agreement, according to Edge.  The disclosure
statement says the secured lenders are to receive almost all
proceeds from the sale and Edge's cash.  The lenders are to make a
$350,000 "gift" to be shared by unsecured creditors.  In addition,
unsecured creditors can receive collections from preference suits.
The "gift" and lawsuit collections may be used also to pay
expenses of the Chapter 11 case.

Edge Petroleum has received the Bankruptcy Court's approval to
auction off its assets on December 7.  It has signed a certain
Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 30, 2009 with PGP Gas
Supply Pool No. 3, which will purchase the assets for $191
million, absent higher and better bids at the auction.

EDRA BLIXSETH: Personal Items Auctioned Off on November 21
----------------------------------------------------------
More than 800 pieces of Tim and Edra Blixseth's personal
properties were on the block at Kamelot Auction House in
Philadelphia on Saturday, Daily Bankruptcy Review's Jacqueline
Palank says.

Items for sale included the circa-1930 pair of American Oak
telephone booths and the Biedermeier-style maple gentlemen's
dressing cabinet from 1910, which, according to Ms. Palank, were
acquired "in better days: before the Blixseths' bitter divorce,
before their Yellowstone Mountain Club filed for bankruptcy and
was sold to the highest bidder, before Edra Blixseth herself filed
for bankruptcy and was ordered to sell her assets to pay off her
nearly $160 million in debts."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on September 24,
2009, Marc S. Kirschner, on behalf of a trust that took over the
remaining assets and claims of Yellowstone Mountain Club following
its sale to CrossHarbor Capital Partners, LLC, has sent BLX Group
Inc. to bankruptcy.

In an involuntary Chapter 11 petition it signed together with two
other creditors and filed Sept. 21, Mr. Kirschner, the trustee of
the Yellowstone Club Liquidating Trust, said the trust is owed
$190,000,000 on account of a promissory note.

Yellowstone Club emerged from bankruptcy after obtaining
confirmation of a plan backed by CrossHarbor Capital Partners and
existing members of the club.  CrossHarbor won an auction for
Yellowstone with its offer to acquire ownership of the reorganized
club for $35 million in cash and provide a note worth $80 million
to creditors.

BLX Group, formerly known as Blixseth Group, Inc., was the primary
shareholder of Yellowstone Club before its collapse.  BLX was
owned by the Blixseths.  Tim Blixseth relinquished control of
Yellowstone Club to his ex-wife Edra in a divorce settlement that
was finalized in August 2008.

According to a document filed in the Chapter 11 case of
Yellowstone Mountain Club, Credit Suisse made loans to Yellowstone
aggregating $375 million that ended up in the pockets of the
Blixseths.

In the Chapter 11 case, the committee of unsecured creditors of
Yellowstone Mountain Club sued BLX Group to recover transfers made
by YMC.  According to the suit, after obtaining loans from Credit
Suisse, proceeds from the loans were withdrawn by the Blixseths
for transactions unrelated to YMC.

In respect of the funds disbursed, BGI executed an unsecured
demand note dated as of September 30, 2005, in favor of YMC in the
amount of $208,831,158.  BGI executed another unsecured demand
note in favor of Yellowstone Development, LLC in the amount of
$55,798,797.  BGI executed a third unsecured demand note in favor
of YMC in the amount of $7,800,000.  BGI has allegedly made $40
million of interest and principal reduction payments to YMC in
respect of the first note.

The liquidating trust, following the effective date of YMC's plan,
obtained ownership of assets not sold to CrossHarbor, including
YMC's interest in promissory notes of $275 million from BGI.  The
trustee has been tasked to dispose of those assets with the
proceeds to be distributed to creditors of YMC.

Judge Ralph B. Kirscher, which handled YMC's Chapter 11 case, is
assigned to the involuntary case of BLX Group.

Montana Case No. 09-61893).  Charles W. Hingle, Esq., at Holland &
Hart LLP, represents the Petitioners.  Mr. Kirschner asserts that

millions of dollars, were insured.  Judge Kirscher rejected Ms.

ENERGY FOCUS: Receives Non-Compliance Notice From NASDAQ
--------------------------------------------------------
Energy Focus, Inc., disclosed it received a notification from the
NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department providing notification
that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of
the Company's common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per
share requirement for continued inclusion under NASDAQ Listing
Rule 5450(a)(1) and that the Company's shareholder equity was
below the listing standard of $10 million as per Rule
5450(b)(1)(A) as of the end of the third quarter.

"On November 9, 2009, the Company exceeded the $10 million minimum
shareholder equity requirement when it received the proceeds from
its recently completed $3.75 million rights offering.  The Company
also believes that its stock market price will recover as it
completes its transition into an integrated turnkey lighting
energy solutions provider and begins to provide growth to both the
top and bottom line," said Joe Kaveski, Energy Focus CEO.

Energy Focus, in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(A), has been provided 180 calendar days, or until
May 11, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 per
share requirement.  If at any time during this grace period the
bid price of the Company's common stock closes at or above $1.00
per share for a minimum of ten consecutive days, the NASDAQ Stock
Market will provide the Company with a written confirmation of
compliance and the matter will be closed.

If the Company does not regain compliance with Listing Rule
5450(a)(1) by May 11, 2010, the Company may be notified that its
securities are subject to delisting.  At that time, the Company
may appeal NASDAQ's determination to delist its securities to a
Hearings Panel.  Alternatively, the Company also may consider
applying to transfer its securities to The NASDAQ Capital Market
if it satisfies the requirements for initial inclusion set forth
in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5505, with the exception of the bid price.
If its application is approved, the Company will be afforded the
remainder of The NASDAQ Capital Market's second 180 calendar day
grace period in order to regain compliance while on The NASDAQ
Capital Market.

ENERGY XXI: Moody's Upgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'Caa2'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating to Caa2 from Caa3 and upgraded the
$276.5 million of senior unsecured notes due 2013 that remain
outstanding to Caa3 from Ca.  The Speculative Grade Liquidity
rating was raised to SGL-3 from SGL-4 and the rating outlook was
changed to stable from negative.

This rating action follows the company's recent completion of the
exchange of $278 million of 16% Second Lien Junior Secured Notes
due 2014 for $347.5 million of senior unsecured notes.  Moody's
changed the Probability of Default Rating to Caa2/LD from Ca to
reflect the new capital structure and also to classify the
exchange as a limited default since Moody's view this transaction
as tantamount to a distressed exchange.  After three business days
the PDR will be changed from Caa2/LD to Caa2.

"The rating upgrade reflects Energy XXI's improved liquidity and
meaningful debt reduction," commented Pete Speer, Moody's Vice
President.  "However, the company still has high debt levels
relative to its reserves and production base."

Contemporaneous with the debt exchange, Energy XXI issued
$60 million of 16% Second Lien Junior Secured Notes due 2014 and
approximately 13.2 million of common stock to investors for
approximately $41 million of proceeds net of offering expenses and
accrued interest paid on the exchanged senior unsecured notes.  In
addition, the company received approximately $45 million of
insurance proceeds related to hurricane losses in October.

The company intends to use these funds and the substantial
majority of its existing cash balances to make further payments on
its revolver.  The company expects its borrowing base will be
reduced from $235 million to $199 million in the soon to be
completed borrowing base redetermination.  Pro forma for these
events the company expects to have around $14 million of cash and
$115 million of revolver availability, compared to $61 million of
cash and no revolver availability last spring.

The Caa2 CFR reflects Energy XXI's still high leverage on proved
developed and proved developed producing reserves and the short
reserve life of its largely shallow water Gulf of Mexico
production base.  Pro forma for the debt exchange and other debt
repayments, the company will have debt/PD reserves of around
$20/boe and debt/PDP reserves of $41/boe.  Despite slightly
increasing total proved reserves in its fiscal year ended June 30,
2009, proved developed producing reserves declined to
approximately 16.6 million boe from 18.5 million boe at June 30,
2008.  Therefore debt/PDP is relatively unchanged from earlier
this year despite the debt reduction.  Moody's highlight this
metric because Energy XXI has a PDP reserve life less than 2.5
years based on its current average daily production run rate of
about 20,000 boepd.

The Caa3 senior unsecured notes rating reflects both the overall
probability of default of Energy XXI, to which Moody's assigns a
PDR of Caa2, and a loss given default of LGD 5 (84%).  The
$338 million second lien junior secured notes due 2014 and the
senior secured revolving credit facility have a priority claim to
the company's assets and therefore the senior unsecured notes are
notched one rating beneath the Caa2 CFR under Moody's Loss Given
Default Methodology.

The last rating action on Energy XXI was on September 4, 2009,
when the PDR was downgraded to Ca from Caa3 following the
company's announcement of the bond exchange.

Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc., is an independent exploration and
production company based in Houston, Texas and is an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Energy XXI (Bermuda) Limited.


ENTEROMEDICS INC: Receives Notice of NASDAQ Listing Deficiencies
----------------------------------------------------------------
EnteroMedics Inc. disclosed that on November 13, 2009, it received
two Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letters indicating that, for 30
consecutive business days, the Company's listed securities did not
maintain the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Share (MVPHS)
of $15,000,000 as required by Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) and did
not maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share as required by
Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

The Company has been provided 90 calendar days, or until
February 11, 2010, to regain listing compliance with rule
5450(b)(2)(C), which can be achieved if the Company's MVPHS closes
at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business
days during this time, and 180 days, or until May 12, 2010, to
regain listing compliance with rule 5450(a)(1), which can be
achieved if the Company's common stock closes at or above $1.00
per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during
this time. EnteroMedics previously announced that, on October 19,
2009, it received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter indicating
that, for ten consecutive business days, the Company's common
stock did not maintain the minimum Market Value of Listed
Securities (MVLS) of $50,000,000 as required by Listing Rule
5450(b)(2)(A).  The Company was provided 90 calendar days, or
until January 19, 2010, to regain listing compliance with rule
5450(b)(2)(A).  The Company's common stock will continue to be
listed on the Nasdaq Global Market during this period.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance prior to
expiration of the respective grace periods, it will receive
written notification that its securities are subject to delisting.
The Company may, at that time, appeal the Staff's determination to
a Hearing's Panel.  Such an appeal, if granted, would stay
delisting until a Panel ruling.  Alternatively, the Company may
choose to apply for transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market,
provided it satisfies the requirements for continued listing on
that market.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to reestablish or maintain compliance with listing criteria
on either Nasdaq market or that an appeal, if taken, would be
successful.

ERICKSON RETIREMENT: Gets Nod to Amend Charleston Pact
------------------------------------------------------
In May 2003, Debtor Erickson Retirement Communities, LLC, entered
into a Second Amended and Restated Management and Marketing
Agreement with Charlestown Community, Inc., a non-debtor and not-
for-profit entity.  Under the Management Agreement, ERC agreed to
provide management and operating services for a senior living
center in Baltimore, Maryland.  As a precondition for modifying
its credit agreement with Charlestown, Bank of America, N.A., one
of Charlestown's lenders, required collateral assignment of the
Management Agreement by Charlestown to BofA.

Subsequently, ERC, Charlestown and BofA entered into a
Subordination Agreement on March 1, 2006.  As a precondition for
modifying its credit agreement with Charlestown, BofA also
required an amendment to the Subordination Agreement.

Accordingly, the Debtors sought and obtained the Court's authority
to execute the Collateral Assignment of Management Documents and
the First Amendment to Subordination Agreement.

Charlestown notes that it is seeking refinancing of its debt to
BofA, but BofA requires it and ERC to execute the Agreements as a
precondition to that refinancing.  Vincent P. Slusher, Esq., at
DLA Piper LLP, in Dallas, Texas, notes that if Charlestown is not
able to refinance, the continued ability of its retirement
community and its ability to continue paying fees to ERC under
the Management Agreement may be put at risk.  Charlestown's
continued payments to ERC under the Management Agreement are a
steady source of income, he points out.  Thus, the continuation
of this income stream and the continued ability of Charlestown's
retirement community will be necessary for the Debtors'
successful reorganization, he maintains.

      related to, among others, any proposed sale and
      formulating the terms of a plan or plans of reorganization

  (g) assist and advise the Committee with respect to its
      communications with the general creditor body regarding

      objectives; and

  (i) perform all other legal services for the Committee which

The principal Bracewell & Giuliani attorneys designated to
represent the Committee and their current standard hourly rates
are:

  Name                   Position           Rate per Hour
  ----                   --------           -------------
  Samuel M. Stricklin    Partner                 $625

Samuel M. Stricklin, Esq., a partner at Bracewell & Giuliani,
discloses that Microsoft Licensing GP, International Business
Machines Corp. and G.E. Appliances, all unsecured creditors of
the Debtors, are adverse to existing clients of the firm in
matters unrelated to the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.  Moreover, he
says, from 2007 though 2009, Bracewell & Giuliani represented
Mercantil Commercebank, Hillcrest Bank, KeyBank, N.A., Bank of
America, N.A., Sovereign Bankcorp Consolidated, and Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., the Debtors' prepetition lenders, in matters
unrelated to the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.  He adds that
Bracewell & Giuliani represents The Bank of New York Mellon,
N.A., in matters unrelated to the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

Despite these disclosures, Mr. Stricklin maintains that Bracewell
& Giuliani is a "disinterested person" as that term is defined
under Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.  He assures the
Court that Bracewell & Giuliani does not hold or represent any
interest adverse to the Debtors' estates with respect to the
matters for which it is to be engaged.

ERICKSON RETIREMENT: Says Sec. 333 Ombudsman Not Necessary
----------------------------------------------------------
Erickson Retirement Communities LLC and its units currently manage
and have varying interests in 20 continuing care retirement
communities in 11 states.  The CCRCs, which are in various stages
of completion or development, are large campus style communities
offering seniors a full life cycle of retirement services from
independent living though skilled nursing.

On behalf of William T. Neary, as United States Trustee for
Region 6, Nancy Sue Resnick, Esq., in Dallas, Texas, notes that
the definition of "health care business" under Section 101(27)(A)
of the Bankruptcy Code is sufficiently broad to determine whether
the Debtors' operations falls within the definition of "health
care business."

Moreover, Section 333 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that if the
Debtor under Chapter 11 is a health care business, the Court will
order, no later than 30 days after the Petition Date, the
appointment of an ombudsman to monitor the quality of patient
care and to represent the interests of the patients of the health
care business unless the Court finds that the appointment is not
necessary.

                        Debtors React

On behalf of the Debtors, Vincent P. Slusher, Esq., at DLA Piper
LLP, in Dallas, Texas, informs the Court that the Debtors
continue to discuss resolutions with William T. Neary, U.S.
Trustee for Region 6, regarding the U.S. Trustee's motion for
hearing on appointment of a patient care ombudsman under Section
333 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Nevertheless, the Debtors say they don't believe the appointment
of a patient care ombudsman in their 1 cases is necessary.  The
Debtors note that (1) their business is not a traditional
healthcare business within the meaning of Section 333(a)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code; (2) they do not operate the communities but
manage them through management contracts with independent not-
for-profit organizations, which are the licensed healthcare
operators of the communities; and (3) only three of the
facilities relevant to the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases -- Ann's
Choice, Inc., Fox Run, Inc. and Maris Grove, Inc. -- offer
healthcare services to residents, and only 10% of the total
residents at the Debtors' facilities receive healthcare services.
Similarly, patients are adequately protected because several
state and federal agencies oversee the patient care, the Debtors
maintain.

Moreover, Mr. Slusher reveals, the Debtors have agreed to self
report to the Court, the U.S. Trustee, and the applicable state
regulators.  The Debtors' proposed self-reporting goes beyond of
what is required of a patient care ombudsman and is sufficient
for the Court to determine whether the level of patient care at
the care continuing retirement communities is adequate, he
insists.  If the U.S. Trustee or any party-in-interest believes
that the Debtors' self-reporting is inadequate, any of those
parties may ask the Court to reevaluate its decision not to
appoint a patient care ombudsman, Mr. Slusher points out.

In a separate response, Oak Crest Village, Inc.; Greenspring
Village, Inc.; Riderwood Village, Inc.; Brooksby Village, Inc.;
Seabrook Village, Inc.; Cedar Crest Village, Inc.; Ann's Choice,
Inc.; Maris Grove, Inc.; Fox Run, Inc.; Wind Crest, Inc.; Ashby
Ponds, Inc.; Highland Springs, Inc.; Eagle's Trace, Inc.; Linden
Ponds, Inc.; Sedgebrook, Inc.; Monarch Landing, Inc.; and
Tallgrass Creek, Inc.; collectively referred to as the National
Senior Campus Inc. Not-for-Profit Organizations, confirm that the
Debtors have done an excellent job of providing services for the
residents and thus, a patient care ombudsman is not necessary.
The NSC NFPs further believe that the Debtors' self-reporting is
a sound and efficient way to confirm that the high quality of
care that the Residents have always received will continue during
the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

On behalf of the NSC NFPs, Martin T. Fletcher, Esq., at Whiteford
Taylor and Preston, L.L.P., in Baltimore, Maryland, further
asserts that appointment of a patient care ombudsman is not
necessary in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases due to, among others:

  * the existence of the NSC NFPs as active advocates for the
    Residents;

  * the absence of patient care problems as a cause of the
    Debtors' bankruptcy;

  * the Residents' ability to advocate for themselves and the
    ability of active internal resident communities and the NSC
    NFPs to advocate on their behalf should there be any decline
    in resident care;

  * the independence and health of the majority of the
    Residents;

  * the natural alignment of the interests of the Debtors, the
    NSC NFPs and the Residents on the issue of maintaining high
    quality care; and

  * the unnecessary burden to the Debtors' estates if a patient
    care ombudsman is appointed.

The Debtors and NSC NFPs thus ask the Court to (i) exercise its
discretion to not appoint a patient care ombudsman pursuant to
Section 333(a)(1), and (ii) instead enter an order requiring the
Debtors to self report to the Court regarding patient care.

EXTENDED STAY: Proposes January 15 Claims Bar Date
--------------------------------------------------
Extended Stay Inc. and its affiliated debtors ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to set
January 15, 2010, as the deadline for creditors to file their
proofs of claim against the Debtors.

For claims that stem from the rejection of executory contracts
and leases, the Debtors propose that the creditors be required to
file their proofs of claim by the later of January 15, 2010, or
within 45 days after a rejection notice is served on them.

The Debtors also ask the Court to allow claimants affected by any
amendment to the Schedule of Assets and Liabilities to file
their proofs of claim by the later of January 15, 2010, or within
30 days after the Debtors provide notice of the Schedules
Amendment.

"Establishing the Bar Date will enable the Debtors to receive,
process, and begin their analysis of creditors' claims in a
timely and efficient manner and proceed to expeditiously conclude
the administration of these chapter 11 cases," says the Debtors'
attorney, Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP,
in New York.

The Debtors estimate that they have more than 200 creditors in
their Chapter 11 cases.

              Procedures for Filing Proofs of Claim

The Debtors propose to require creditors who have claims against
more than one Debtor to file separate proofs of claim against
each Debtor, provided that:

  (i) if any holder of a claim with respect to the Debtors' $4.1
      billion prepetition mortgage loan files a proof of claim
      against any of the Debtors that availed of the loan, that
      proof of claim will be deemed filed against all the
      Debtors that availed of the loan;

(ii) any holder of debt based on the $3.3 billion prepetition
      mezzanine loan may file a consolidated proof of claim
      against one or more of the Debtors as long as that proof
      of claim clearly identifies the Debtor or Debtors against
      which the claim is asserted, and the amount of the claim
      against each Debtor; and

(iii) Wachovia Bank N.A., as agent for the mezzanine loan, is
      authorized to file one proof of claim for all holders of
      claims that are based on the mezzanine loan as long as the
      proof of claim clearly identifies the Debtor or Debtors
      against which the claim is asserted, and the amount of the
      claim asserted by each creditor against each Debtor.

Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, the indenture trustee
for the 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes issued by the Debtors,
is authorized and entitled to file one proof of claim on behalf
of all of the holders of the notes.

Proofs of claim will be deemed timely filed only if they are
actually received by Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC, the
Debtors' noticing and claims agent, or by the Court on or before
January 15, 2010.  Proofs of claim sent by facsimile, telecopy,
or electronic mail transmission will not be accepted.

These creditors are not required to file a proof of claim:

  (1) Any person or entity which holds a claim that is listed
      in the schedules and is not described as disputed,
      contingent or unliquidated;

  (2) Any person or entity that holds an interest in the
      Debtors based exclusively on the ownership of common or
      preferred stock, membership interests, partnership
      interests, or warrants or rights to purchase, sell or
      subscribe that security or interest;

  (3) Any person or entity whose claim has been paid in full by
      the Debtors;

  (4) Any holder of a claim allowable as an administrative
      expense;

  (5) Any person or entity that holds a claim that has been
      allowed by a Court order entered on or before January 15,
      2010;

  (6) Any holder of a claim for which a separate deadline is
      fixed by the Court;

  (7) Any Debtor that has a claim against another Debtor;

  (8) Any affiliate or wholly owned subsidiary of the Debtors
      that has a claim against a Debtor;

  (9) Any holder of a claim that has already properly filed a
      proof of claim with the Clerk of the Court or Kurtzman;
      and

(10) U.S. Bank N.A., TriMont Real Estate Advisors Inc., the
      master servicer and the trust where the mortgage loan was
      deposited, to the extent of any claim relating to the
      mortgage loan.

Any creditor that relies on the Schedules has the responsibility
to determine that the claim is accurately listed in the
Schedules.  Any creditor that is required to file a proof of
claim but fails to do so will not be treated as a creditor for
the purposes of voting and distribution in the Debtors' cases.

The Debtors intend to mail a notice of the Bar Date and have it
published in the national edition of The Wall Street Journal 25
days before January 15, 2010.

EXTENDED STAY: Wants $4 Million Budget Slashed
----------------------------------------------
Extended Stay Inc. and TriMont Real Estate Advisors Inc. seek a
court order to slash the examiner's proposed $4 million budget
for his investigation.

In a joint statement, ESI and TriMont, the special servicer of
ESI's $4.1 billion mortgage loan, ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York to direct Ralph Mabey to
reduce his proposed budget to $750,000, asserting that some
aspects of the examiner's investigation including a valuation of
the business of ESI and its affiliated debtors as of June 11,
2007, may not be necessary.

"Based on the narrow scope of the investigation, [ESI and
TriMont] submit that amounts set forth in the preliminary fee
estimate are unrealistic," ESI's attorney, Jacqueline Marcus,
Esq., at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New York, contends.

The statement came after Mr. Mabey's California-based counsel,
Stutman Treister & Glatt Professional Corporation filed in Court
on October 30, 2009, a copy of the amendment to the examiner's
work plan.

The Amended Examiner Work Plan, which provides an overview on how
Mr. Mabey would conduct his investigation into the Debtors'
bankruptcy, proposed an estimated budget of $3.7 million to
$4 million, an $800,000 reduction from the initial estimate of
$3.9 million to $4.85 million stated in the original work plan.
The Amended Work Plan also narrowed the scope of the examiner's
investigation.

Ms. Marcus insists that the review of the financial transactions
leading to the Debtors' Chapter 11 filings "does not warrant an
intensive fact searching mission" and "can be completed in
significantly less time" than reflected in the Amended Work Plan.

The Amended Work Plan also drew flak from Bank of America N.A.,
Line Trust Corporation Ltd. and Deuce Properties Ltd.

Bank of America N.A, one of the lenders that funded the $7.4
billion acquisition of the Debtors from Blackstone Group LP, asks
the Court to require the examiner to address the concerns raised
by ESI and TriMont.

Line Trust and Deuce Properties, for their part, question the
exclusion from the scope of Mr. Mabey's investigation the
negotiation of the term sheet submitted by the Debtors which
details the proposed restructuring of their debt.  The
investigation of the term sheet was included in the examiner's
original work plan.

Line Trust and Deuce Properties are investors that contributed
$214 million to the junior debt used for the acquisition of the
Debtors.  They previously accused David Lichtenstein, chairman of
Lightstone Group LLC who led the acquisition of the Debtors from
Blackstone, of being induced by lenders to push the Debtors into
bankruptcy to leave junior loan holders out of the money.  They
also alleged that the lenders promised to indemnify Mr.
Lichtenstein against $100 million in liabilities and provide a
$5 million "litigation defense war chest" to resist potential
claims from junior lenders.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, meanwhile, says it
will defer to the judgment of the Court as to the appropriate
budget for the examiner investigation.  Nevertheless, the
Creditors Committee says it agrees with ESI and TriMont that the
$4 million budget is high in light of the narrowing of the scope
of the investigation under the Amended Work Plan.  The Committee
is concerned, however, that the "potential utilization and
benefit of the examiner's report may be jeopardized if it is
perceived that the examiner had an insufficient budget to use to
conduct a thorough, independent investigation."

                Examiner Defends Proposed Budget

The Examiner asks the Court to overrule the objections raised
against his work plan, asserting that the proposed budget is
appropriate.

"As the investigation is still in its early stages, the examiner
and [his] professionals had no choice but to estimate their fees
and expenses based primarily upon their prior, significant
experiences with the investigation of issues of similar
complexity and scope," Margreta Morgulas, Esq., at Stutman
Treister & Glatt, in Los Angeles, California, relates.  "In that
context, the examiner and [his] professionals submit that the
estimated budget is appropriate and should be approved."

Ms. Morgulas notes that ESI and other entities proposed to slash
the budget although they "have no more information regarding the
course of the investigation than the examiner or have not shared
such information."

"There is no reason to believe that their lower estimates are
more accurate than the estimates proposed in the amended work
plan," Ms. Morgulas says, pointing out that ESI and TriMont did
not provide an explanation of why only a $750,000 budget is
needed for the examiner investigation.

Ms. Morgulas suggests that Mr. Mabey be allowed to exercise his
discretion, and that ESI and TriMont defer to the examiner's
judgment that he will not pursue "a path that results in the
needless development or analysis of facts or legal theories."

The Examiner's counsel filed in Court on November 14, 2009, a
proposed order approving the Amended Work Plan, which was further
revised to provide a February 19, 2010 deadline for the examiner
to file his report about the investigation.

EXTENDED STAY: Wants to Revise $18MM Repayment Terms to U.S. Bank
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Extended Stay Inc. and its debtor affiliates ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to approve
a deal with U.S. Bank N.A. to revise the terms governing the
monthly payment of $18 million to the bank.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors have been providing payments
of approximately $18 million per month in return for using cash
earmarked as collateral for a $4.1 billion mortgage loan, which
is deposited in a trust administered by U.S. Bank.  The
$18 million monthly payments are referred to as adequate
protection payments.  The mortgage loan was used to fund the
acquisition of the Debtors from Blackstone Group LP by an
investment consortium led by Lightstone Group LLC Chairman David
Lichtenstein.

The Debtors hammered out the deal to avoid facing liquidity
crisis, according to their attorney, Jacqueline Marcus, Esq., at
Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, in New York.

"Due to the seasonality of the Debtors' business and the fact
that [they] will soon be entering their slow season, the Debtors
may face a liquidity crisis without some adjustment to their
obligation to make adequate protection payments," Ms. Marcus says
in court papers.

"Maintaining payments at current levels may jeopardize the
Debtors' liquidity, a result that would be detrimental to both
the Debtors and their creditors," she tells the Court.

The parties' agreement, as formalized in a 7-page stipulation,
seeks to revise the terms of the payments required under the
Court's July 23, 2009 Cash Collateral Order.  The key terms of
the agreement are:

  (1) On the date by which any interest payment is due under the
      mortgage loan agreement, the Debtors' adequate protection
      payment may be deferred, in whole or in part, if the
      amount of their available cash as of the close of business
      a day before the date of payment is less than $22.5
      million, after giving effect to the amount of the adequate
      protection payment.

      Available cash refers to the actual amount of the "CMA &
      DIP" balance computed in a consistent manner as per the
      weekly Extended Stay Hotels Cash Collateral Budget
      Variance Report prepared by the Debtors in accordance with
      past practice and provided to the mortgage loan's special
      servicer, TriMont Real Estate Advisors Inc., and the
      Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

  (2) If the Debtors do not have sufficient available cash to
      make the adequate protection payment for that month, then
      the amount deferred will be added to the "deferred
      adequate protection amount."

  (3) If the Debtors which availed of the mortgage loan have
      sufficient available cash to make the adequate protection
      payment for that month, then the Debtors will pay U.S.
      Bank and the trust any of their available cash that is in
      excess of $22.5 million, not to exceed the adequate
      protection payment for that month plus the then
      outstanding "deferred adequate protection amount."

  (4) In no event will deferral of any adequate protection
      payment constitute waiver of any adequate protection
      payment.

A full-text copy of the stipulation is available without charge
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/ESI_StipCashCollUSBank.pdf

The Court will convene a hearing on December 10, 2009, to
consider approval of the Debtors' request.  Creditors and other
concerned parties have until December 4, 2009, to file their
objections.

possession of the Merced and/or Stanislaus County Sheriffs, or
(ii) on November 30, 2009.  On December 15, 2009, the Bank will

lien and security interest or replacement lien in all assets of
the Debtor acquired on or after November 12, 2009.

The Debtor promises to provide the lenders monthly reports.

GAINEY CORP: Court Sets Plan Confirmation Hearing for December 7
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan
approved, on an interim basis, Gainey Corporation, et al.'s
disclosure statement with respect to their first amended Chapter
11 Plan of Reorganization, dated as of Oct. 13, 2009.

The Court is set to approve the Disclosure Statement and confirm
the Chapter 11 Plan on Dec. 14, 2009, at 9:00 a.m.  Objections, if
any, are due Dec. 7, 2009, at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time.)

The voting deadline is at 5:00 p.m. (E.T.) on Dec. 7, 2009.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on June 24, 2009, the
Plan, according to the Disclosure Statement, provides for:

  -- a structured disposition of substantially all of the assets
     of the existing Debtors,

  -- the distribution of the proceeds of such dispositions to the
     holders of allowed secured claims under the Plan,

  -- the Debtors' utilization of Cash presently in the Debtors'
     possession to pay other claims under the Plan,

  -- the delivery of the Lender Note to the holders of Lender
     Secured Claims to evidence the repayment to the Agent of
     Working Capital that will be retained by the Debtors and
     transferred to a new business entity ("Newco") under the
     Plan, and

  -- the use of other property by Newco during the term of the
     Property Lease, with the accompanying Lease Payments
     thereunder to be made to the Agent on account of the Lender
     Secured Claims.

Newco will be a new startup business entity, the sole initial
shareholder of which will be Carl Oosterhouse, the present chief
operating officer of the Debtors.

Pursuant to the Plan, Gainey Equity Interests under Class XII will
not receive any distribution under the Plan on account of said
Equity Interests.  Holders thereof are conclusively presumed to
have voted to reject the Plan.

Each holder of an Unsecured Liability Claim under Class VI will
retain all of said holder's rights and remedies against the
Debtors and with respect to any applicable insurance relating to
said Unsecured Liability Claim.

To the extent not previously modified or terminated pursuant to
order of the Bankruptcy Court, the automatic stay will be deemed
terminated immediately as of the Plan's Effective Date with
respect to any and all Unsecured Liability Claims for purposes of
permitting the liquidation of said Unsecured Liability Claims by a
court of competent jurisdiction, and permitting recourse to any
applicable insurance relating to said Unsecured Liability Claim.

To the extent any holder of an Unsecured Liability Claim will be
determined to hold a claim in excess of the amounts payable under
any applicable insurance of the Debtors, said holder will receive
5% of said excess amount, payable in Cash, by Newco, within 30
days of the date of the entry of a Final Order determining such
liability.

Lender Secured Claims under Class IV will retain all adequate
protection payments received by it during the Chapter 11 cases,
and will further receive the following:

  (a) on the Plan's Effective Date, its Pro Rata share of the
      Lender Cash Dividend;

  (b) its Pro Rata share of the Lease Payments to be made by
      Newco, as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Pan;

  (c) its Pro Rata interest in the Lender Note, and the payments
      thereunder, as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Plan; and

  (d) the Rolling Stock Disposition Proceeds, as set forth in
      Section 5.1 of the Plan.

              Classification of Claims and Interests

The Plan segregates the various claims and equity interests into

GEMCRAFT HOMES: Gets OK to Secure $25MM DIP Financing From Regions
------------------------------------------------------------------
Gemcraft Homes, Inc., et al., sought and obtained permission from
the Hon. Nancy V. Alquist of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Maryland to obtain postpetition secured financing from
Regions Bank.

Regions Bank has committed to provide up to $25,000,000.

Gary H. Leibowitz, Esq., at Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman &
Leonard, P.A., explained that the Debtors sought approval to enter
into the Regions DIP Credit Agreement with Regions, one of their
key prepetition lenders, to provide postpetition financing on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Regions DIP Credit
Agreement.  The Debtors need immediate access to the liquidity
provided by the Regions DIP Credit Agreement, to fund their
Chapter 11 case, pay suppliers and other parties.

The DIP facility comprised of (i) $22,000,000 revolving Builder
Line of Credit; (ii) $2,000,000 Acquisition & Development Line of
Credit; and (iii) $1,000,000 revolving overhead line of credit.
The DIP facility will incur interest at LIBOR + 300bps with a
floor of 3.50%.  The BLOC and the A&D Line will mature at the
earlier of confirmation or November 9, 1010.  The Overhead Line
has a six-month term.

Regions Bank is granted a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable,
non-avoidable and automatically and properly perfected first
priority lien on and security interest in any and all assets and
property of the Debtors and their Estates.  Gemcraft will furnish
to Regions Bank financial information, projections, budgets,
business plans, cash flows and other information as the Lender
will reasonably request from time to time.

The Court also allowed the Debtors to use cash collateral until
the expiration of Lender's commitment to lend under the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Cash Collateral
subject to the pre-petition liens and security interests granted
to Regions Bank.

As adequate protection for the diminution in value of their
interests in the prepetition collateral, Regions Bank is hereby
granted valid, binding, enforceable and perfected replacement
lien).  The Lender is granted an allowed superpriority
administrative expense claim.

A final hearing is set for December 14, 2009, at 10:00 a.m.

In addition to the Regions Bank DIP Facility The Debtors
anticipate having in place two additional credit facilities:

     (a) a debtor-in-possession credit facility with M&T Bank in
         the amount of $7,000,000; and

     (b) an unsecured debtor in possession credit facility with
         Gemcraft Capital, LLC, an affiliate of the Debtors, up to
         a maximum amount of $5,000,000.

The Debtors have yet to seek approval of a DIP facility from M&T
Bank and Gemcraft Capital.

Together, the three facilities, expected to provide $37,000,000 of
funding, will provide the funds necessary for the Debtors to
pursue what they believe should be a successful reorganization.

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also Attempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

GENERAL MOTORS: Escrowed Proceeds From Treasury Loans Released
--------------------------------------------------------------
To recall, General Motors Company entered into a credit agreement
with the United States Department of the Treasury on July 16,
2009.  Similarly, General Motors of Canada Limited, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GM, entered into an amended and restated Canadian
Loan Agreement with Export Development Canada, a corporation
wholly-owned by the Government of Canada on July 10, 2009.

GM disclosed, in a regulatory filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 2, 2009, that proceeds of the
Treasury Credit Agreement of $16.4 billion were deposited in
escrow and will be distributed to GM at its request if these
conditions are met:

  (1) the representations and warranties GM made in the loan
      documents are true and correct in all material respects on
      the date of the request;

  (2) GM is not in default on the date of the request taking
      into consideration the amount of the withdrawal request;
      and

  (3) the Treasury Department approves the amount and intended
      use of the requested disbursement.

In this light, GM Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting
Officer Nick S. Cyprus, disclosed that the Treasury Department
granted a request for the release of funds from the escrowed
proceeds of the UST Credit Agreement in October 2009.  He noted
that $1.7 billion was utilized to acquire a membership interest in
the new Delphi entity.  He added that $1.1 billion was expended in
the acquisition of Delphi Corp.'s global steering business,
certain domestic facilities and other related payments pursuant to
a Master Disposition Agreement.

Moreover, Mr. Cyprus said that C$1 billion was deposited into an
escrow account pursuant to an agreement between GM, EDC and an
escrow agent on July 7, 2009.  Pursuant to that agreement, the C$1
billion was released to GM on September 2, 2009, he disclosed.  He
further stated that GM subscribed for additional common shares in
GMCL and paid the subscription price in cash on July 10, 2009.  As
required under the Canadian Loan Agreement, C$3 billion of the
subscription price was deposited into an escrow account to fund
certain of GMCL's pension plans pending the completion of certain
preconditions.  The preconditions were met, and on September 2,
2009, the release of C$3 billion from the escrow account was
approved by the Ontario and Federal governments.  GMCL also
contributed C$1 billion to its pension plans from its unrestricted
cash on September 2, 2009, he added.

In another matter, Mr. Cyprus related that GM completed its
participation in an equity rights offering in GM Daewoo Auto &
Technology Co., a majority-owned and consolidated subsidiary, for
KRW 491 billion or $417 million on October 27, 2009.  As a result
of the participation in the equity rights offering, GM's ownership
interest in GM Daewoo increased from 50.9% to 70.1%, he noted.
Funds from GM's unrestricted cash were utilized for this
acquisition, he disclosed.  GM Daewoo plans to use the proceeds

       GM to Draw $2.5BB From U.S. Loans to Help Delphi

GM, according to a Wall Street Journal report dated October 29,
2009, will outline plans to draw down more money from the U.S.
Treasury loan to help Delphi.  GM's additional borrowing will
mostly be limited to Delphi's funding needs and is expected to be
north of $2.5 billion, the report said basing on the automaker's
prior announcements.

              "Bridge Loan to Nowhere," Solons Allege

In a letter addressed to U.S. President Barack Obama, 20 U.S.
House Republicans, including Minority Leader John Boehner,
criticized the Obama administration's rescue of GM as a "bridge
loan to nowhere" and demanded more data on the automaker's
finances, The Detroit Free Press published on October 28, 2009.

The letter cited comments from former auto task force chief Steven
Rattner that the $19 billion loan extended by the U.S. government
before GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009 may be "considered
lost," the report added.

The Republicans called on the administration to release detailed
financial reports on GM comparable to public companies, as well as
the minutes of task force meetings, the report said.

GREEKTOWN HOLDINGS: Now Backing Noteholders' Plan
-------------------------------------------------
Erik Larson at Bloomberg News reports that Greektown Holdings LLC,
the bankrupt owner of a casino in downtown Detroit, agreed to
support a rival reorganization plan that would give ownership of
the company to bondholders instead of lender Merrill Lynch & Co.

The plan proposed by Manulife Financial Corp., OppenheimerFunds
Inc. and other noteholders, will be considered for approval by the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan at a
hearing scheduled for Jan. 12.

Greektown Holdings LLC was scheduled to present its Chapter 11
plan for confirmation on November 3 until a group of noteholders
surfaced with a competing plan designed to pay secured creditors
100 cents on the dollar in cash.  Greektown said that the
competing plan was a delaying tactic and not feasible.

Manulife et al., claim that their Chapter 11 plan results in a
higher valuation and provides a higher recovery to the general
unsecured classes and a combination of new common stock and the
right to participate in the rights offering to the holders of bond
claims, who would receive nothing under the Debtor Plan.

The key terms of the Noteholder Plan are:

   -- A $200 million fully committed equity offering;

   -- The issuance of up to $400 million of new secured notes in
      an offering to be led by a preeminent investment banking
      firm;

   -- Payment of the DIP Facility Claims in full in cash;

   -- Payment of the allowed secured claims of the prepetition
      lenders in cash in full on the Effective Date;

   -- A distribution of 6% (assuming full conversion of the New
      Preferred Stock on the Effective Date) of the common stock
      of reorganized Greektown to the holders of the existing
      noteholders  and the right to participate in the rights
      offering; and

   -- A significantly increased cash distribution to General
      Unsecured Creditors (other than the noteholders) than in the
      Debtors and Secured Lenders' Plan plus interests in a
      liquidation trust.

While the Noteholder group says noteholders would fare better
under the new plan, they did not provide for an estimate of the
recovery by unsecured creditors.

The Noteholders are offering $50 million in additional DIP
financing to fund the Chapter 11 case.  The new financing would be
subordinate to existing financing for the Chapter 11 effort.

Capital Partners, LLC and Highbridge Capital Management, LLC
together are expected to own the majority of the equity of the
reorganized company.

Following consummation of the restructuring plan, GSI will reduce
its debt to third parties by $115 million, from $210 million to
$95 million.  The restructuring will significantly reduce the
Company's interest cost, and no principal payments will be
required for four years.

To implement the pre-arranged restructuring, three of GSI's
corporate entities -- GSI Group Inc., the parent Canadian holding
company; GSI Group Corporation; and MES International, Inc., a
non-operating subsidiary of GSI Group Corporation -- have filed
voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
No other subsidiaries and no subsidiaries outside of North America
are included in the filing.  Going forward, GSI's operating
subsidiaries will continue to pay all vendors, suppliers,
employees and other obligations in the ordinary course of business
unaffected by the filings.

"We are very pleased to have finalized a plan that will allow us
to substantially reduce our debt and put GSI in a stronger,
financially healthier position for the future," said Sergio
Edelstein, Chief Executive Officer of GSI.  "While GSI's debt has
to be restructured as a result of the protracted economic
downturn, the Company remains operationally strong with adequate
cash on hand to meet its operational needs."

"We are confident that going into this reorganization process with
a pre-agreed upon plan with our noteholders and adequate liquidity
will enable us to implement our restructuring in an efficient and
timely manner.  With an appropriately sized capital structure to
support our leading market positions, strong customer
relationships, and industry-leading products, we believe we will
be well-positioned to take advantage of business opportunities as
our markets rebound."

Rick Black, Chairman of the GSI Board of Directors, added, "After
extensive negotiations with our bondholders and considerable
efforts to identify available alternatives, the Board concluded
that implementation of this pre-arranged debt-for-equity
restructuring based on the current economic environment and the
current circumstances facing the Company is the best alternative
available to maximize the interests of all stakeholders. Following
the restructuring, we believe the Company will have the capital
structure it needs to grow and generate value for our
shareholders."

The Company fully expects to continue to operate in the normal
course of business during the restructuring process.  The Company
plans to continue to fulfill all customer orders as usual and
provide uninterrupted customer service during the restructuring
process.

The proposed Plan of Reorganization provides for all vendors and
suppliers to be paid in full.  GSI will continue to pay vendors
and suppliers under normal terms in the ordinary course of
business for all goods and services provided to the Company after
the filing date of November 20, 2009.  As of October 31, 2009, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $57 million
as well as approximately $14 million of auction rate securities at
fair market value, a portion of which were subsequently sold for
$3 million in net cash proceeds.

Under terms of the restructuring agreement, which is subject to
court approval, the interest rate on the new term loan will be
12.25% and, at the Company's option, subject to the Company's
compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio defined in the
indenture for the notes, will be payable in kind at a compounded
rate of 13%.

As part of the restructuring plan, an affiliated creditor of the
Company would receive approximately 7.1% of the Company's post-
consummation outstanding shares and certain other consideration.
Existing shareholders would receive 18.6% of the post-consummation
outstanding shares and receive warrants to purchase 10% of 110% of
the post-consummation outstanding shares of the Company at an
imputed price of $1.10 per share and 10% of 110% of the post-
consummation outstanding shares of the Company at an imputed price
of $2.00 per share.

The Company also reported that it is continuing to work to
complete its financial restatements and does not currently expect
the Chapter 11 filing to unduly delay the financial restatement
process.

is Brown Rudnick LLP and its financial and restructuring advisor

HAWAIIAN TELCOM: Court's Confirmation Order on Amended Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hawaiian Telcom Communications, Inc. and its affiliates related
in press release that Judge Lloyd King of the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Hawaii has confirmed their
Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization on November 13,
2009.

The confirmed Plan will reduce its debt from $1.15 billion to
$300 million, allowing for greater financial flexibility so that
it can execute its business plan and better compete in the
marketplace.

As per minutes of the Confirmation hearing, Judge King directed
Hawaiian Telcom's counsel to submit findings of fact and
conclusions of law and a proposed order in accordance with his
ruling.  An agreement between Hawaiian Telcom and the indenture
trustee will be incorporated into the confirmation order.

"We are extremely pleased with the Court's decision and look
forward to working through the regulatory process so our
confirmed plan can become effective, and the Company can emerge
from bankruptcy a stronger and more financially secure company
better able to compete in the ever-changing communications
industry," said Eric K. Yeaman, Hawaiian Telcom's president and
chief executive officer in a public statement.

In approving the Amended Plan, Judge King related that he is
satisfied that the Plan is fair and equitable, Honolulu
Advertiser disclosed on November 14, 2009.  "It is essential to
move things on in [Hawaiian Telcom's] Chapter 11 cases," Judge
King said, according to the Honolulu Advertiser.

The confirmation hearings were conducted from November 9 thru 13,
2009.

During the hearings, Judge King expressed concern about the costs
of HawTel's bankruptcy cases, Honolulu Advertiser related.  The
news source noted that as of September 2009, the Company has
expended more than $22 million in reorganization costs, including
fees for bankruptcy professionals retained.

Judge King held the further hearings to rule on a valuation
dispute between Hawaiian Telcom and its bondholders, Honolulu
Advertiser disclosed.  As previously reported, the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors alleged that Hawaiian Telcom
undervalued its assets to provide a de minimis recovery to
unsecured creditors.  Judge King, however, said nothing comes
close to the valuations suggested, Honolulu Advertiser noted.

                         Plan Supplement

Before the Court confirmed the Plan, the Debtors filed with the
Court on November 9, 2009, an exhibit containing a draft of a
senior secured loan agreement to be entered among Reorganized
Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc., and Reorganized Hawaiian Telcom, as
borrowers, and certain lenders pursuant to the Amended Plan.

The Senior Secured Loan Agreement contemplates that on the
effective date of the Amended Plan, all of the outstanding
principal amounts under (x) an Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement executed June 1, 2007 among Hawaiian Telcom and
Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc., as borrowers, and Lehman Commercial
Paper, Inc., as administrative and collateral agent for certain
lenders, and (y) all outstanding obligations under certain swap
and hedging contracts among Hawaiian Telcom, Hawaiian Telcom
Holdco and certain subsidiaries and the lender parties under the
Credit Agreement will be converted as set forth under the Amended
Plan into:

  (i) new senior secured term loans in an aggregate principal
      amount of $300,000,000; and

(ii) shares of common stock of Reorganized Hawaiian Telcom
      Holdco, $0.01 par value per share, each to be issued to
      the Lenders on the Effective Date of the Amended Plan.

The draft of the Senior Secured Loan Agreement is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/HawTel_SecuredLoanAgr.pdf

                      Debtors Further Respond
                    to Amended Plan Objections

Prior to confirmation of the Amended Plan, the Debtors' counsel,
Theodore D.C. Young, Esq., at Cades Schutte LLP, in Honolulu,
Hawaii, asserted that the Committee of Unsecured Creditors
confused two concepts in its objection -- "enterprise" value and
"going concern" value.  What the Committee refused to recognize
is that based on the aggregate value of the encumbered assets,
including goodwill and intellectual property, the Prepetition
Lenders have a lien on more than 93.1% of the total enterprise
value, he argued.  The remaining value is properly allocated
between administrative expenses and unsecured creditors, he
added.

Mr. Young further pointed out that Arnold Tesh, the Committee's
expert on easement valuation did an "about face" and relied on a
development approach -- an entirely new theory on easement
valuation not previously disclosed in his expert reports.  One
significant problem with using the development approach to value
easements is that they do not generate income, Mr. Young
asserted.

Mr. Young argued that valuation disputes do not equate to bad
faith, contrary to what the Committee and Senior Noteholders
allege.  He contended that the Committee ignored the fact (1)
that after extensive analysis, the Debtors determined their
unencumbered easements have no market value because there is no
market for public utility easements, and (2) that even under the
Committee's valuation, the Prepetition Lenders hold the largest
economic stake in the Reorganized Debtors and that the Debtors
first negotiated the structure of the Amended Plan with the
Prepetition Lenders, which included arm's-length negotiations
regarding, among others, a market-based Equity Incentive Plan.
"Essentially, the Committee's bad faith argument boils down to
one fact -- the Senior Noteholders do not like the Plan," Mr.
Young maintained.

Moreover, Mr. Young insisted that the Committee has known for
quite some time that the Debtors modified the warrants so that
they may be exercised in a cashless manner.  Immediately upon
emergence, the exercise price of the warrants will be less than
the anticipated market value of the Reorganized Debtors' common
stock and thus, the warrants have immediate and substantial
value, he explained.  In light of the relatively large claims of
the Senior Noteholders, the Debtors determined that they could
distribute warrants with significant value to the Senior
Noteholders.  Given the Reorganized Debtors' liquidity needs
post-emergence, it is not feasible and would be damaging to the
Debtors to provide cash distributions to the Senior Noteholders
in the amount that they seek, Mr. Young stressed.

Mr. Young further insisted that the Committee's assertions
against the Equity Incentive Plan are nothing more than a
disgruntled creditor group's attempt to penalize a management
team that has worked diligently to maximize value of the Debtors
for the benefit of the Debtors' customers, employees, creditors
and the State of Hawaii.

A chart summarizing the objections to the Amended Plan and the
Debtors' corresponding response is available for free at:

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

Pursuant to minutes of hearing held on November 13, 2009, Keith
Yoshino's declaration in support of the Amended Plan is deemed
withdrawn.  Mr. Yoshino is director of regulatory accounting,
reporting and cost analysis.

                 Prepetition Lenders Show Support
                       to the Amended Plan

The Prepetition Lenders agree with the Debtors that the Amended
Plan is fair and equitable and does not unfairly discriminate.

Representing the Prepetition Lenders, James N. Duca, Esq., at
Lyons Brandt Cook & Hiramatsu, in Honolulu, Hawaii, noted that
the Debtors and the Prepetition Lenders agreed to modify the
Amended Plan to provide holders of the Warrants a "cashless
exercise" option.  Evidence, he argued, simply does not support
the Committee's assertions that the Warrants are an inferior form
of recovery that constitutes a barrier to confirmation of the
Amended Plan or that they could not have proposed in good faith.

The Prepetition Lenders further insisted that they are entitled
to the payments to protect their security interests against the
diminution in the value of the collateral.  They further argued
that the Prepetition Lenders have a perfected security interest
in the Hawaii Deposit Accounts.

The Prepetition Lenders withdrew the declarations filed by
Jeffrey N. M. Higashi and Merleen Lee in support of their
Memorandum of Law for the Debtors' Amended Plan.

             Sandwich Isles Opposes Contract Rejection
                        under Amended Plan

In response to the Amended Plan, Sandwich Isles Communications,
Inc. joined in Pacific Lightnet, Inc.'s objection to the Debtors'
rejection of telecommunications interconnection agreements.
Sandwich Isles insisted that its interconnection agreement with
the Debtors is not an executory contract, but is an agreement
approved by the HPUC as part of a comprehensive regulatory scheme
that governs the Debtors' ability to operate.

HAWAIIAN TELCOM: Has Nod to Use Cash Through December 31
--------------------------------------------------------
Judge King permitted Hawaiian Telcom Communications Inc.'s
continued use of the cash collateral of their Prepetition Lenders,
on a consensual basis, through and including December 31, 2009.

The Court's current ruling is the Fifth Cash Collateral Extension
Order, whereby the Debtors will pay to the Prepetition Agent, on
an ongoing basis:

  (a) the current cash payment of interest at the non-default
      rates at the times provided for in the Prepetition Credit
      Agreement; provided, however that during the period from
      March 1, 2009, up to January 15, 2010, those obligations
      will be satisfied by:

      -- the payment of cash interest calculated at the non-
         default rates with respect to $300 million of the
         outstanding Senior Secured Debt; and

      -- the deemed payment of interest with respect to the
         balance of the Senior Secured Debt, with the amount
         being included in the amount of Senior Secured Debt.

  (b) cash payments equal to all accrued and unpaid non-
      default rate interest, fees and expenses then owing
      with respect to the Prepetition Obligations or provided
      for in the Prepetition Financing Documents; and

  (c) from time to time after the Petition Date, the current
      cash payment of documented fees and expenses as and
      when due and payable under the Prepetition Financing
      Documents, including fees and expenses of legal counsel
      and other professionals retained by the Prepetition
      Lenders.

September 30, 2009, a decrease of $25.4 million from $28.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  This was primarily
associated with adequate protection payments made in the Chapter
11 cases and the reorganization items incurred in connection with
the Chapter 11 cases.

Interest costs decreased from $28.5 million during the three
months ended September 30, 2008, to zero during the three months
ended September 30, 2009.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on November 4, 2009,
the Company won court confirmation of a reorganization plan
that will hand the company to its lenders, leaving nothing for
noteholders owed $363 million.  Steven Church at Bloomberg
reported that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Gregg W. Zive approved the
plan, overruling objections from the noteholders and other low-
ranking creditors, who claimed the three Herbst brothers drove
their company into bankruptcy by doubling its debt to
$1.15 billion through a pair of acquisitions in 2007.

As part of the reorganization plan, the Company agreed not to file
lawsuits related to the 2007 expansion, a decision opposed by the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on August 11, 2009,
the Debtors have determined that the enterprise value of their
Assets, consisting of the Casino Business and Slot Route Business
ranges from $500,000,000 to $600,000,000.

The holders of senior credit facility claims owed $847,363,000 in
principal plus accrued interest of $29,103,000, will receive 100%
of the stock.  Holders of Senior Credit Facility Claims will
receive indirectly through the ownership of Herbst Gaming LLC 100%
ownership of the Reorganized Debtors and $350,000,000 of
restructured debt.

Holders of 7% Senior Subordinated Notes Due November 15, 2014, and
8.125% Senior Subordinated Notes Due June 1, 2012, are
contractually subordinated to the Senior Credit Facility Claims,
won't receive anything under the Plan, in light of the enterprise
value of the assets.

Holders of allowed general unsecured claims will be paid in full.
The Debtors intend to assume and honor all Slot Route Contracts.

Equity Interests in Herbst Gaming will be canceled and equity
holders will not receive anything under the Plan.

IDEARC: Reaches Deal for Reorganization Plan with Creditor Groups
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Idearc Inc. and its major creditor groups filed a joint motion in
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas,
Dallas Division, seeking the Court's approval of an agreement
resolving all pending litigation among the parties and all
objections by such parties to confirmation of its plan of
reorganization.  Idearc is on schedule to emerge from its Chapter
11 reorganization at or near year- end.  A confirmation hearing
for the Bankruptcy Court to consider approval of the settlement
agreement and confirmation of the plan of reorganization has been
scheduled for December 9 to 11, 2009.

"We are very pleased to have reached agreement with the committee
representing its unsecured creditors, the Agent Bank and Steering
Committee representing secured lenders and our largest bondholder,
MatlinPatterson, regarding all major objections to our Plan," said
Scott W. Klein, chief executive officer of Idearc Inc. "This is an
important milestone in our overall path to emergence."

At a hearing in Dallas, the Court approved Idearc's Standby
Purchase Agreement with Paulson & Co. Inc., pursuant to which
creditors who will be receiving new common stock of reorganized
Idearc upon its emergence from bankruptcy may elect, in their sole
discretion, to receive cash in lieu of all or a portion of such
stock.  The cash to fund the elections by claim holders will be
provided by Paulson's purchase from reorganized Idearc of the
number of shares of new common stock that otherwise would have
been distributed to electing claim holders.

The amount of cash to be received would be an amount per share
implied by a valuation for all of the equity of reorganized Idearc
of at least $260 million.  Under the proposed standby purchase
agreement, the amount of new common stock that Paulson can acquire
is limited so that Paulson will not beneficially own more than 45
percent of the outstanding new Idearc common stock as of the
effective date of the reorganization.

As previously reported, Idearc expects to emerge from its
reorganization process with an appropriate capital structure to
support its future strategic business plans and objectives.  Under
its proposed plan of reorganization, the Company's total debt will
be reduced from approximately $9 billion to $2.75 billion of
secured bank debt, with the Company's current bank debt holders,
bond holders and certain other creditors receiving new common
stock of reorganized Idearc or, if they choose, cash from the
Paulson agreement.

The proposed Plan provides that the current holders of Idearc's
common stock will not receive any distributions following
emergence and their equity interests will be cancelled and have no
value once the Plan becomes effective.

showed total assets of $1,815,000,000 and total debts of

IMAX CORP: S&P Raises Corporate Credit Rating to 'B-' From 'CCC+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its ratings on
Mississauga, Ontario-based IMAX Corp. S&P raised its corporate
credit rating on the company to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.  The rating
outlook is stable.

"The rating upgrade reflects IMAX's plan to repay its senior notes
due December 2010 next month and the benefits in beginning to
reduce financial risk," stated Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Tulip Lim.  "It also reflects the company recently entering into a
new $75 million credit facility, which replaced the $40 million
revolving credit facility due October 2010 with a $40 million
revolving credit facility due October 2013, giving IMAX access to
a longer-term liquidity resource.  The new facility also included
a $35 million term loan."

The 'B-' rating reflects the modest size of the company's niche
market, weak discretionary cash flow, and modest liquidity.  It
also reflects S&P's concern that while revenue-sharing
arrangements for sales of IMAX's large-screen film exhibition
systems may be necessary for the company's long-term
sustainability, these arrangements require IMAX to invest
significant amounts of its modest liquid resources upfront.  These
concerns overshadow the company's position as a prominent
specialized provider of giant screen theater projection, camera,
and sound systems, its expansion of recurring revenue under
revenue-sharing arrangements, and a measure of near-term revenue
visibility provided by the company's pending system installations.

Lease- and pension-adjusted leverage was roughly 4.6x at Sept. 30,
2009 -- an improvement from roughly 20x in the last 12 months
ended March 31, 2009, due to an increase in EBITDA and some debt
repayment.  Pro forma for expected debt repayment by the end of
the year and funding of the new credit facility, S&P estimate
leverage at Sept. 30, 2009, was roughly 2x.  Unadjusted coverage
of interest jumped from fractional coverage to roughly 2x for the
12 months ended Sept. 30.  S&P expects that the company will save
approximately $15 million in annual interest expense (in
comparison to 2008 levels) as a result of the retirement of its
senior notes.

The company's discretionary cash flow was negative for the 12
months ended Sept. 30, 2009, and has been negative since 2005.
Negative discretionary cash flow has been partially the result of
upfront investments IMAX has incurred to install many systems
under revenue-sharing arrangements.  Discretionary cash will
likely be negative for the full year 2009 because of the ongoing
capital involved in revenue-sharing opportunities.  IMAX must also
generate non-revenue-sharing new contracts (S&P's traditional,
currently more cash-generative deal structure) and install them on
a timely basis to prevent an accelerated consumption of cash.


INFOLOGIX INC: Closes Restructuring of Hercules Debt
----------------------------------------------------
InfoLogix, Inc., and its subsidiaries have completed a
restructuring transaction with its senior lender, Hercules
Technology Growth Capital, Inc., pursuant to which a portion of
the Company's outstanding debt with Hercules Technology I, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Hercules, was converted into equity in
the Company, the remaining outstanding debt with Hercules was
otherwise restructured, the Company issued warrants to purchase
equity in the Company to HTI, and certain other debt and earnout
obligations with other parties were restructured.

The restructuring resulted in the cancellation of $5 million in
indebtedness and provides for up to $5 million in additional
availability under a revolving credit facility with Hercules.

HTI exchanged $5 million in existing indebtedness for 67,294,751
shares of the Company's common stock.  Additionally, the Company
issued to HTI at closing a warrant to purchase 16,823,688 shares
of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.0743 per
share.  The warrant has a five-year term and is immediately
exercisable at such time when the Company amends its certificate
of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
common stock or implements a reverse stock split that results in
the Company having a sufficient amount of authorized shares to
issue the warrant shares.  The Company has agreed to register
these shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
resale.

The remainder of the Company's indebtedness with Hercules was
restructured to include two term loans aggregating $10.5 million
and a revolving credit facility of $12 million, of which $7
million is outstanding at closing.  The revolving credit facility
expires on May 1, 2011, but may be extended at the Company's
option for six months if there is no existing event of default.
Any advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest
initially at 12.0% per annum until the term loans, as described
below, are repaid in full, when the interest rate on outstanding
advances will be prime plus 4%.  Borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are based on eligible accounts receivables,
including an overadvance provision of up to $500,000, which will
be due 28 days after the overadvance is drawn.  Overadvances bear
interest at 15% per annum.

The term loans are comprised of a $5.5 million term loan due on
November 1, 2013, and a $5 million convertible term loan due on
November 1, 2014.  Amortization on Term Loan A begins December 1,
2010.  Term Loan B may be converted into shares of the Company's
common stock at a price of $0.0743 per share at Hercules' option,
or automatically if the 90-day value weighted adjusted price of
the common stock exceeds five times the conversion price. The
Company, however, has the right to pay a portion of the conversion
amount in cash plus applicable fees, interest and other charges
instead of shares of common stock if an automatic conversion
occurs under certain circumstances.

Term Loan A bears interest at (i) 12% per annum for the first
year, (ii) 18% per annum for the next year, and (iii) 15%
thereafter.  All interest on Term Loan A is payable in cash
monthly commencing December 1, 2009. Term Loan B bears interest at
(i) 14.5% per annum for the first year, (ii) 20.5% per annum for
the next year, and (iii) 17.5% thereafter. 2.5% of the interest on
Term Loan B will be "paid in kind" compounded monthly.  Hercules
has the option to turn the PIK interest into cash interest or
additional shares of common stock if certain predefined metrics
are maintained.  The balance of the interest on Term Loan B is
payable in cash monthly commencing December 1, 2009.  In the event
the term loans are prepaid, a prepayment charge on the principal
prepaid of 5% if prepaid during the first 12 months, 3% if prepaid
during the next 12 months and 1% thereafter will be due, provided
that, if the term loans are prepaid in the first 12 months and
there is no event of default, Hercules will waive the prepayment
charge on both term loans.  The Company has agreed to register for
resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission the shares
issuable upon conversion of Term Loan B and accreted Term Loan B
interest.

The Company was assessed a $450,000 transaction fee in connection
with the Restructuring, which is payable in 12 equal monthly
installments beginning in May 2010.  The obligations of the
Company under the Loan Agreement are secured by all of the
personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries, including
all of the equity interests of the Company and its subsidiaries in
their respective subsidiaries.

                     NASDAQ Compliance Status

On August 19, 2009, NASDAQ notified the Company that it did not
comply with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders' equity
requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, as
set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b).  On October 30, 2009, the
Company received notice that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Staff had granted the Company's request for an extension to regain
compliance with this listing rule by no later than November 20,
2009.  Additionally, on October 30, 2009, NASDAQ granted the
Company's request for a financial viability exception to NASDAQ's
stockholder approval requirements for the restructuring.  On
November 10, 2009, the Company issued a press release and provided
notice to its stockholders announcing that NASDAQ had granted the
Company's request for a financial viability exception.

Based upon the consummation of the restructuring, the Company
believes it has regained compliance with the $2.5 million
stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on The
NASDAQ Capital Market.  The Company is awaiting NASDAQ's formal
determination with respect to its compliance status.  In addition,
NASDAQ will continue to monitor the Company's ongoing compliance
with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement and, if at the
time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence
compliance with that requirement, it may be subject to delisting
from NASDAQ.

There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to meet
the minimum stockholders' equity requirement. If the Company does
not, the Company may request a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing
Qualifications Panel. Such request would stay any delisting
determination by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff and the
Company's securities would remain listed on NASDAQ pending a
formal determination by the Panel.

INSIGHT HEALTH: Posts $6.32 Million Net Loss for Sept. 30 Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------------
InSight Health Services Holdings Corp. last week announced its
financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2009.

The Company posted a net loss of $6.32 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, from a net loss of $6.96 million
for the same period in 2008.

Revenues for the first quarter of 2010 decreased 20% to $50.1
million from $62.6 million for the first quarter of 2009. Revenues
from patient services operations for the first quarter of 2010
decreased 21% to $24.6 million from $31.1 million for the first
quarter of 2009, primarily due to the disposition of retail
imaging centers.  Revenues from contract services operations for
the first quarter of 2010 decreased 19.1% to $25.0 million from
$30.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to the
closure of a fixed site center related to a large health care
provider contract, a reduction in the number of active contracts
and reductions in reimbursement from customers.  Revenues from
other operations were $0.5 million and remained consistent from
the first quarter of 2009.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 million for the
first quarter of 2010 and resulted primarily from Adjusted EBITDA
of $9.8 million less $5.5 million of cash paid for interest and
changes in certain assets and liabilities of $2.9 million.

At September 30, 2009, Insight Imaging had $165.4 million in total
assets against $32.2 million in total current liabilities and
$291.5 million in total long-term liabilities.

At September 30, 2009, Insight Imaging had $24.4 million in cash,
cash equivalents and restricted cash (including $5.0 million that
was subject to the lien for the benefit of the senior secured
floating rate notes), and $11.6 million of availability under its
revolving credit facility, based on its borrowing base.  At
September 30, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the
credit facility; however, there were letters of credit of
$1.6 million outstanding under the credit facility.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 17.1% to $9.8 million from $11.8 million
for the first quarter of 2009.  Adjusted EBITDA for the first
quarter of 2010 decreased 3.0% from $10.1 million for the fourth
quarter of 2009.

Kip Hallman, Insight Imaging's President and CEO, stated, "I'm
pleased that we continue to increase efficiencies, improve our
operating margins and maintain stable Adjusted EBITDA in this
challenging environment, even as we focus our fixed-site
footprint, consistent with our stated objectives."

InSight Imaging has changed its definition of its business
segments into three reportable segments: contract services,
patient services and other operations.  Contract services consist
of centers (primarily mobile units) which generate revenues from
fee-for-service arrangements and fixed-fee contracts billed
directly to healthcare provider customers, also referred to as
wholesale operations.  Patient services consist of centers (mainly
fixed-sites) that primarily generate revenues from services
billed, on a fee-for-service basis, directly to patients or third-
party payors, also referred to as retail operations. Other
operations generate revenues primarily from agreements with
customers to provide management services.

In its Form 10-Q filing, the Company said, "We reported net losses
of $6.6 million, $19.8 million, $169.2 million and $99.0 for three
months ended September 30, 2009, the year ended June 30, 2009, the
eleven months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended 2007,
respectively.  We have implemented steps to improve our financial
performance, including, a core market strategy and various
initiatives in response to these losses.  We have attempted to
implement, and will continue to develop and implement, various
revenue enhancement, revenue cycle management and cost reduction
initiatives.  Revenue enhancement initiatives have focused and
will continue to focus on our sales and marketing efforts to
maintain or improve our procedural volumes and contractual rates,
and our InSight Imaging Solutions initiative.  Revenue cycle
management initiatives have focused and will continue to focus on
collections at point of service for patients with commercial
insurance, technology improvements to create greater efficiency in
the gathering of patient and claim information when a procedure is
scheduled or completed, and our initiative with Perot Systems
Corporation.  Cost reduction initiatives have focused and will
continue to focus on streamlining our organizational structure and
expenses including enhancing and leveraging our technology to
create greater efficiencies, and leveraging relationships with
strategic vendors.  While we have experienced some improvements
through our revenue cycle management and cost reduction
initiatives, our revenue enhancement initiatives have produced
minimal improvements to date.  Moreover, future revenue
enhancement initiatives will face significant challenges because
of the continued overcapacity in the diagnostic imaging industry,
reimbursement reductions and the effects of the country's
recession, including higher unemployment."

"We can give no assurance that these steps will be adequate to
improve our financial performance. Unless our financial
performance significantly improves, we can give no assurance that
we will be able to refinance the floating rate notes, which mature
in November 2011, on commercially reasonable terms, if at all."

INTERLINE BRANDS: S&P Changes Outlook to Stable; Holds BB- Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
outlook on Jacksonville, Florida-based Interline Brands Inc. to
stable from negative.  At the same time, Standard & Poor's
affirmed its ratings on the company, including the 'BB-' corporate
credit rating.

"The outlook revision reflects S&P's expectation that despite the
continued weak operating environment, the company will continue to
have the flexibility to repay debt," noted Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Thomas Nadramia.  "As a result, S&P believes
Interline will maintain adequate cushion relative to financial
covenant measures." S&P had been concerned that weakening
operating results could constrain the cushion under the covenants.
Given the repayment of more than $100 million in funded debt
during the past several quarters, combined with strong cash flow,
the company's cushion relative to its total leverage threshold has
improved relative to S&P's expectations cited earlier in the year.

Based on S&P's expectation for free cash-flow generation
throughout the next several quarters, as well as management's
commitment to preserve adequate liquidity throughout the current
weak operating environment, S&P anticipate that Interline will use
excess cash flow to repay debt as necessary to maintain the
cushion relative to covenant measures.  In addition, the outlook
revision reflects S&P's expectation that credit measures will
remain in-line with the rating, with adjusted debt to EBITDA below
4x through the end of 2010.

The 'BB-' rating and stable outlook reflect S&P's expectation for
some stabilization in the residential construction markets because
of an anticipated uptick in housing starts, which will help
moderate the EBITDA declines that have stemmed from the current
soft demand environment.  S&P expects approximately 800,000
housing starts in the U.S. for 2010, up from about 520,000 in
2009.

Interline distributes maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO)
products for the facilities maintenance, specialty distributors,
and professional contractors markets.  Its fair business risk
profile is characterized by an aggressive acquisition history,
relatively small size, participation in a highly fragmented and
competitive industry, and somewhat intensive working-capital use.
Tempering these company weaknesses are Interline's good customer,
product, and geographic diversity; relatively stable sales driven
by institutional and multi-family maintenance and repairs,
particularly in its janitorial and facilities maintenance
segments; and consistent operating margins.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's assessment that despite soft
demand for MRO products because of reduced spending on the part of
institutions and property managers, Interline's operating
performance during the next several quarters will likely exceed
S&P's earlier expectations.  This will allow for additional debt
repayment and enable the company to maintain adequate cushion
relative to financial covenant measures.

S&P expects that the company will report about $90 million in
EBITDA for the year.  In addition, for 2010, S&P expects similar
results and free cash flow of $25 million-$50 million.  Based on
these expectations, S&P believes that the company will have the
flexibility for further debt repayment and that S&P's measure of
fully adjusted debt to EBITDA will be less than 4x and FFO to
total debt sustained at more than 15%.  Furthermore, S&P expects
liquidity, in terms of cash and revolver availability, to remain
sufficient to meet all obligations, including working capital
growth if sales rebound unexpectedly.

A negative rating action could be warranted if the operating
environment weakens more than S&P currently expects and results in
a decline in EBITDA that contributes to negative cash flow
generation and reduced liquidity at a level below $40 million,
thereby increasing the likelihood of a covenant violation.
Although S&P considers a positive rating action unlikely at this
time given the weak operating environment, S&P could consider one
if the company were to achieve and maintain debt leverage below 3x
while maintaining adequate liquidity.

J2 INVESTMENTS: Wants Curtis Law Firm as Bankruptcy Counsel
-----------------------------------------------------------
J2 Investments, LLC, et al., have sought permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to employ The
Curtis Law Firm, P.C., as bankruptcy counsel.

The Firm will, among other things:

     (a) advise and consult with the Debtors concerning (i) legal
         questions arising in administering, reorganizing, and
         liquidating the Debtors' estates and (ii) the Debtors'
         rights and remedies in connections with estate assets,
         accounts receivable, and creditors' claims;

     (b) assist the Debtors in the investigation of the acts,
         conduct, assets, and liabilities of the Debtors, and any
         other matters relevant to the cases;

     (c) investigate and potentially prosecute preference,
         fraudulent transfer, and other causes of action arising
         under the Debtors' avoidance powers; and

     (d) prepare on behalf of the Debtors all necessary pleadings,
         applications, motions, adversary proceedings, answers,
         notices, reports, orders, responses, and other legal
         documents that are required for the orderly
         administration of the Debtors' estates;

The Firm will be paid based on the hourly rates of its
professionals:

       Senior Shareholders                        $450
       Junior Shareholders,
        Associates, and Other Firm Attorneys    $175-$395
       Clerk and Paralegal                       $95-$150

The Debtor assures the Court that the Firm doesn't have interests
adverse to the interest of the Debtors' estates or of any class of
creditors and equity security holders.  The Debtor maintains that
the Firm is a "disinterested person" as the term is defined under
Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.

James P. McAluney, Trustee of The Revocable Trust of James P.
McAluney dated December 30, 1997, as amended fka The Revocable
Trust of James P. McAluney, individually, and derivatively in the
name of Shale Synergy, LLC; et al, (the Plaintiffs) has objected
to the appointment of counsel and the Debtors' request to allow
the payment of a post-petition retainer of $50,000.  Plaintiffs
view the request for a $50,000 post-petition payment in a
bankruptcy case that was filed simply to avoid the state court
litigation and postpone the eventual unveiling of Debtors' fraud
to be no more than another act in Debtors' pattern of harmful
conduct against Plaintiffs.  Plaintiffs maintain that allowing the
Debtors to pay a post-petition retainer to counsel is
inappropriate and unnecessary.  Counsel should be allowed submit
their fees as an administrative claim, as contemplated under the
Bankruptcy Code, and seek interim compensation if necessary.

The Plaintiffs maintain that Debtors have filed this case with the
intent to circumvent and frustrate injunctive relief that would
protect Plaintiffs from immediate and irreparable, including the
transfer of certain funds so that Plaintiffs would be unable to
recover on their claims against Debtors, and the other defendants
in the State Court Lawsuit, for their wrongful conduct and
fraudulent acts causing Plaintiffs' damage.

Two different State Court Judges have considered the evidence
presented by Plaintiffs in the State Court and made findings that
there was a "substantial likelihood" that the Plaintiffs will
prevail on the merits of their claims.  The State Court also made
the finding that Plaintiffs will suffer immediate and irreparable
harm as a result of the Defendants' continued actions and that "it
is probable that the Defendants [including Debtor] will wrongfully
transfer assets belonging to one or more of the Plaintiffs."

A hearing is set for November 18, 2009, at 2:30 p.m.

J.J. RE-BAR: 9th Cir. Gives IRS Okay to Pursue Owners for Taxes
---------------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that the Internal Revenue Service's enforcement of
unpaid employee withholding "trust fund" tax liabilities against
the Chapter 11 debtor-employer's non-debtor officers as
"responsible persons" did not violate the proscriptions of the
debtor's plan or confirmation order, and so was properly not
enjoined by the bankruptcy court, the Ninth Circuit's Bankruptcy
Appellate Panel has held.  Although the plan provided in general
terms for the release of those claims upon which the debtor was
the "primary obligor" and for a "permanent injunction" against
creditors taking any action against third parties to collect such
claims, there was no specific reference to a release or discharge
of IRS claims in either the plan or the confirmation order.  There
certainly was no "clear" or express provision of the plan or
confirmation order purporting to enjoin the IRS from pursuing
collection actions for trust fund taxes against "responsible
persons."  In any event, the BAP noted, it appeared that the
debtor's officers, as "responsible persons," and not the debtor,
constituted the "primary obligor" with respect to these tax
liabilities under 26 U.S.C. Sec. 6672.  In re J.J. Re-Bar Corp., -
--B.R.----, 2009 WL 3834039 (9th Cir. BAP).

J.J. Re-Bar Corporation, Inc., sought Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 98-21421) (McManus, J.), on Jan. 30,
1998.  The Debtor filed a chapter 11 plan which the Bankruptcy
Court confirmed on March 18, 1999.  The Debtor, its owners and the
IRS talked about prepetition tax liabilities for the next seven
years.  The final IRS claim consisted of a $1.4 million priority
unsecured claim and a $1.6 million general unsecured claim,
including a civil fraud penalty.  The IRS provided the Reorganized
Debtor with a payment schedule in late 2007, the Reorganized
Debtor started making payments under the Plan in December 2007,
and timely has made all required payments to the IRS under the
Plan since that time.

The IRS then decided to apply additional pressure by initiating
efforts to assess and collect prepetition and preconfirmation
payroll taxes from the Reorganized Debtor's shareholders as
"responsible persons" under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 6672.  The Reorganized
Debtor ran to the bankruptcy court in Feb. 2008 to halt the IRS'
additional collection efforts against its shareholders under the
terms of the chapter 11 plan.  Judge McManus said there was
nothing he could do to help, and the Reorganized Debtor appealed
to the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, which says the
bankruptcy court correctly concluded that it was not appropriate
for it to enjoin the IRS' efforts to collect unpaid trust fund
taxes from the Reorganized Debtor's shareholders.

JOHNSONDIVERSEY HOLDINGS: Moody's Assigns 'Caa1' Rating on Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's assigned a Caa1 to the proposed senior notes of
JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc., and affirmed all other credit and
liquidity ratings.  The rating outlook is stable.

On October 7, 2009, JD Holdings, the holding company parent of
JohnsonDiversey, Inc., entered into a series of agreements
principally designed to recapitalize JD Holdings and JDI
(Recapitalization).  Pursuant to the agreements, an investment
fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. and SNW Co., Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of S.C.  Johnson & Son, Inc. will make
equity investments in JD Holdings of approximately $477 million
and $9.9 million, respectively.  The equity investments along with
the proceeds from a $1 billion secured term loan, $400 million of
unsecured notes of JDI and $250 million of unsecured notes of JD
Holdings will be used to refinance approximately $1.6 billion of
existing debt, fund cash payments to Unilever and to pay
transaction fees and expenses.  The Recapitalization, which is
conditioned upon completing the debt financing and customary
regulatory approvals, is expected to close prior to the end of the
year.

Following the Recapitalization, the key constraints on the B2
Corporate Family Rating are (i) weak cash flow metrics for the
rating category (ii) the potential for weak demand during 2010 in
end markets that are sensitive to discretionary consumer spending
and (iii) the potential for continued raw material cost
volatility.  The ratings are supported by the company's number one
or number two market positions in key global markets, a diverse
customer base, solid long term growth prospects and steady profit
performance in 2009 despite pressures from a global recession.

Moody's assigned these ratings (assessments):

* JohnsonDiversey Holdings, Inc. - $250 million senior unsecured
  notes due 2020, Caa1 (LGD 6, 94%)

Moody's affirmed these ratings (assessments):

* JohnsonDiversey, Inc. - $450 million secured term loan due 2015,
  Ba2 (LGD 2, 21%)

* JohnsonDiversey, Inc. - $250 million secured revolver due 2014,
  Ba2 (LGD 2, 21%)

* JohnsonDiversey, Inc. - $400 million senior unsecured notes due
  2017, B3 (LGD 5, 73%)

* JohnsonDiversey Holdings II B.V. - $500 million secured term
  loan due 2015, Ba2 (LGD 2, 21%)

* JohnsonDiversey Canada, Inc. - $50 million secured term loan due
  2015, Ba2 (LGD 2, 21%)

* Corporate Family Rating, B2 (transferred from JDI to JD
  Holdings)

* Probability of Default Rating, B2 (transferred from JDI to JD
  Holdings)

* SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating (transferred from JDI
  to JD Holdings)

These ratings (assessments) are affirmed and are expected to be
withdrawn upon the repayment of such debt in connection with the
Recapitalization:

* $175 million secured revolver due 2010, Ba2 (LGD 1, 9%)

* $328 million secured term loan due 2011, Ba2 (LGD 1, 9%)

* $98 million secured term facility due 2010, Ba2 (LGD 1, 9%)

* $300 million senior subordinated notes due 2012, B2 (LGD 4, 56%)

* EUR225 million senior subordinated notes due 2012, B2 (LGD 4,
  56%)

* $406 million 10.67% discount notes due 2013, Caa1 (LGD 6, 92%)

The last rating action on JD Holdings was on November 10, 2009,
when Moody's assigned a Ba2 to the proposed $1.25 billion senior
secured credit facility of JDI and certain of its subsidiaries and
a B3 to $400 million of proposed senior notes.

JD Holdings, through its wholly owned subsidiary JDI, is a leading
global supplier of cleaning, hygiene, and sanitizing products,
equipment and related services to the institutional and industrial
cleaning and sanitation markets.  Revenues for the twelve months
ended October 2, 2009, were approximately $3.1 billion.


JOHNSONDIVERSEY HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'B-' Senior Debt Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'B-'
senior unsecured debt rating (two notches below the corporate
credit rating) to Sturtevant, Wisconsin-based JohnsonDiversey
Holdings Inc.'s (B+/Stable/--) proposed offering of $250 million
of senior unsecured notes due 2020.  The recovery rating is '6',
indicating S&P's expectation for negligible (0%-10%) recovery in
the event of a payment default.

The company is offering the notes under Rule 144A with
registration rights.  The notes will be structurally subordinated
to all debt and liabilities at JohnsonDiversey Holdings Inc.'s
operating subsidiary: JohnsonDiversey Inc. The company may elect
to pay interest on the notes in kind until 2015.  However,
nonpayment of cash interest after 2015 will not be an event of
default as defined in the indenture if JohnsonDiversey Inc. is not
able to make distributions to JohnsonDiversey Holdings Inc.

JohnsonDiversey Holdings will use proceeds of the notes to finance
a portion of the recapitalization of the company, including the
purchase of the majority of Unilever PLC's equity in the company.
In its original financing plan, Unilever would have held these
notes.

The ratings on JohnsonDiversey reflect its satisfactory business
risk profile and highly leveraged financial profile.
JohnsonDiversey is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of
cleaning and hygiene products and related services for
institutional and industrial cleaning.

LAS VEGAS SANDS: Bank Debt Trades at 17% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Las Vegas Sands
Corp. is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 83.13 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Nov. 20, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 1.67
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures on May 1, 2014.  The Company pays 175 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt
carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's B- rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 178 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading in the week ended Nov. 20.

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) --
http://www.lasvegassands.com/-- owns and operates The Venetian
Resort Hotel Casino, The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino, and an expo
and convention center.  The company also owns and operates the
Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macao, China.

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 4, 2009, Moody's Investors Service
has placed Las Vegas Sands, Corp.'s ratings, including its B3
Corporate Family Rating, on review for possible downgrade.  The
review for possible downgrade reflects LVSC's weak fiscal 2009
second quarter operating results and Moody's heightened concern
regarding the company's ability to maintain an adequate liquidity
profile, reduce leverage, and remain in compliance with its
financial covenants.

Las Vegas Sands reported a net loss of $76.5 million, or 19 cents
a share, on revenues of $908.26 million for thee months ended
Sept. 30, 2009, compared with a net loss of $32.2 million, or 19
cents a share, on $805.26 million during the comparable period
last year.  With the third quarter results, Las Vegas Sands has
posted its seventh straight quarterly loss after U.S. gamblers
spent less and businesses canceled conferences in the recession.

------------------------------------------------------------
Latshaw Drilling Company, LLC, has sought and obtained the
permission of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District
of Oklahoma to hire Mark A. Craige, of the law firm

Mr. Craige will, among other things:

    (a) provide the Debtor legal advice, including tax advice,
        with respect to its powers and duties as Debtor-in-

interests adverse to the interest of the Debtors' estates or of
any class of creditors and equity security holders.  Mr. Craige
maintained that MorrelSAffaCraige is a "disinterested person" as

LATSHAW DRILLING: Asks Court Nod to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------
Latshaw Drilling Company, LLC, seeks authority from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma to use the
cash collateral securing their obligation to their prepetition
lenders.

The Debtor entered with a group of entities, banks, and other
financial institutions or entities, from time to time
participating in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated
as of July 11, 2008 and the various promissory notes and other
obligations executed by the Debtor pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
The Lenders Note is administered by Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc.,
as the administrative agent for the participants in the Lenders
Note.  Lehman contends that the lenders hold valid, enforceable
and allowable claims against Debtor in the approximate amount of
$69,185,000, plus any and interest, fees, expenses, and other
obligations and liabilities of Debtor pursuant to the Lender Note.

Post-petition, the Debtor has and will continue to communicate
with the Lender in an on-going effort to negotiate an agreed
interim order for the use of cash collateral and hopes to present
an agreed order to the Court.

Mark A. Craige, Esq., at MorrelSaffaCraige, P.C., explains that
the Debtor needs the money to fund its Chapter 11 case, pay
suppliers and other parties.

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtor proposes to
grant the prepetition lenders a continuing, valid, automatically
perfected lien and security interest of a first priority in and
upon Debtor's right, title and interest in and to all of its
property.  The replacement liens granted to the Lender upon the
Post-petition Collateral shall secure the Prepetition Indebtedness
only to the extent that the value of the Prepetition Collateral is
determined to be insufficient to fully secure the Prepetition
Indebtedness.  As additional adequate protection to Lender, the
Debtor will continue to maintain, with financially sound and
reputable insurance companies, insurance coverage in amounts and
against such risks as reasonably required by Lender with such
insurance policies reflecting Lender as loss payee.  The Debtor
promises to provide the lenders monthly reports.

The Debtor will use the collateral pursuant to a weekly budget,
which the Debtor will still propose.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: LBI Trustee's Interim Report for May-November
--------------------------------------------------------------
James Giddens, the court-appointed trustee for Lehman Brothers
Inc., submitted to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York his second interim status report about the
liquidation of the company under the Securities Investor
Protection Act.

The 52-page report, which covers the period starting May 30 to
November 11, 2009, talks about the financial condition of LBI,
ongoing investigation concerning the company's financial
condition, allocation of customer property, among other things.

The report showed that the Trustee has administered more than
$110 billion to date, making the liquidation of LBI under SIPA
the "largest and most complex stock broker liquidation."

In furtherance of his goal to protect customers, Mr. Giddens took
control of and transferred to other broker-dealers more than
110,000 accounts aggregating in excess of $92 billion.  The
Trustee substantially completed these transfers prior to May 30
but the reconciliation of the transfers continued during the
current "report period."

The Report Period also saw the passage of the time for filing all
claims against the estate including for claimants seeking to
participate in the SIPA customer claims process.  As of the June
1 bar date, the Trustee had received more than 12,500 customer
claims on behalf of more than 86,000 accounts, along with more
than 7,500 general estate claims.

Mr. Giddens has already determined more than 85% of public
customer claims and has made equally substantial progress in the
reconciliation of customer claims asserted by, among others,
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Lehman Brothers International
(Europe), and Barclays Capital Inc. that were filed on an omnibus
basis on behalf of thousands of accounts, the report said.

The report also mentioned the filing of a motion seeking court
approval of an allocation of assets, which would help determine
how much of the roughly $18 billion currently available to LBI's
estate will be apportioned to the fund of "customer property," a
priority pool of assets available only to allowed customer
claims, and to the "general estate," a pool of assets available
to satisfy all other claims including any potential deficiencies
in customer claims.

The report further said that Mr. Giddens' goal remains effecting
a 100% distribution to customers.  The timing and extent of
distributions remain dependent on a number of contingencies for
which the Trustee must continue to reserve, which include pending
litigation, some $6 billion in disputes with Barclays and several
other disputes stemming from the claims process that have already
amounted to several billion dollars.  These contingencies may
take time to resolve due to the amounts at stake, among other
things, the report said.

Report is available without charge at:

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Propose to Issue Subpoenas for Deposition
----------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its affiliated debtors seek
approval from Judge James Peck of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York to issue subpoenas those who
may be put under investigation as part of the administration of
their Chapter 11 cases.

Among those who may be investigated include former employees,
lenders, investors, creditors and those who are involved in the
Debtors' various transactions.  The Debtors anticipate that some
of them may refuse to provide documents or appear for deposition.

The Debtors want to issue subpoenas to obtain information needed
to evaluate their financial status and then move to the next
stage of their bankruptcy cases, which include negotiating and
proposing their chapter 11 plans.

In connection to this, the Debtors also seek approval to
implement a process that would govern the issuance of subpoenas.

Under the proposed process, those who may serve as witnesses are
required to produce the requested documents on a rolling basis,
except those under a claim of privilege, or to file their
objections within 10 days after the Debtors have issued the
subpoena.

If a witness withholds a document based upon privilege, he must
provide the Debtors with a privilege log containing the
information within 10 days of service of the subpoena unless
otherwise agreed by the Debtors.

Absent other agreement with the Debtors, a witness is directed to
submit to oral examination upon notice no later than 15 days from
the service of the subpoena.

Under the process, the Clerk of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York may also issue subpoenas, signed
but otherwise in blank as requested by the Debtors.

In the interests of transparency, the Debtors will furnish a copy
of the subpoena to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Attorney for
the Southern District of New York.  The agencies will also file
in Court an affidavit or declaration of service for each subpoena
they issue.

        U.S. Bank, et al. Want Proposed Process Denied

U.S. Bank National Association asks the Court to deny approval of
the proposed process arguing that it provides affected parties
limited time to comply with subpoenas, review documents or
prepare privilege logs.

"U.S. Bank does not object to providing the Debtors with any
information required by law, provided that it has adequate time
to contact the affected beneficial holders and to coordinate a
response," says the bank's attorney, Ann Acker, Esq., at Chapman
and Cutler LLP, in Chicago, Illinois.

U.S. Bank is the trustee for more than 800 transactions with the
Debtors involving securitization, derivatives and various other
transactions reportedly affecting thousands of holders of
beneficial interests in those deals.

The proposed process also drew flak from Bank of Montreal,
National Australia Bank Ltd., Optim Energy Marketing and Trading
LLC, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Deutsche Bank National
Trust Company, First Choice Power L.P., Reliant Energy Power
Supply LLC and a group of creditors represented by New York-based
Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP.  The companies also complain about
the limited time given to witnesses to comply with the subpoenas
and the Debtors' proposal to issue those subpoenas without prior
notice.

Another creditor, Thomas Cook AG, also filed in Court a formal
objection to the proposed process but eventually dropped it after
the company settled its objection with the Debtors.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: To File Reorg. Plan Outline by 1Q 2010
-------------------------------------------------------
Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., said during a November 18, 2009
hearing before Judge James Peck of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York that it expects to have an
outline of its plan of reorganization by the end of March 2010.

Lehman Brothers currently has exclusive right to file a
reorganization plan until March 15, 2010, and the exclusive right
to solicit acceptances of that plan until May 17, 2010.

News reports say the bankrupt investment firm is contending with
more than 64,000 claims from creditors with a face amount value
of more than US$820 billion.  Lehman Brothers' claims agent, Epiq
Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, listed these claims as the largest
claims filed in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases as of November 17,
2009:

  Claim No.   Claimant                            Claim Amount
  --------    --------                            ------------
  10082       Wilmington Trust Company         $73,162,259,495
  63462       PricewaterhouseCoopers AG        $52,280,310,937
  63847       PricewaterhouseCoopers AG        $52,280,310,937
  58613       Lehman Brothers Treasury Co.     $34,820,990,272
  58612       Lehman Brothers Treasury Co.     $34,820,143,374
  17894       Bundesverband Deutscher Banken   $25,725,484,071
  17538       Bundesverband Deutscher Banken   $25,725,484,071
  21530       LB International (Europe)        $23,718,197,173
  21281       Lehman Brothers Japan, Inc.      $21,803,510,131
  21527       LB International (Europe)        $11,834,607,665

The bar dates for filing of proofs of claims have passed but
Lehman's chief executive, Bryan Marsal, said during the hearing
that it was possible the claims could reach US$1 trillion due to
certain unresolved issues.

Lehman is working to categorize the claims, the company said in a
securities filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Initial claim objections are expected to be filed in
the next 30 to 45 days.

Mr. Marsal said he is working on a 24-month time frame that would
envision having Lehman on its way out of bankruptcy court by the
second anniversary of its bankruptcy filing, Reuters reported.
However, he cautioned the Court that some people "would tell me
I'm nuts" and that it may end up leaving bankruptcy on a three-
year time frame or longer if it cannot resolve certain issues in
time.

Among those issues, Reuters quoted Mr. Marsal as saying, are
whether it will need to file one reorganization plan, or many,
for all the different Lehman units operating in bankruptcy.
Other issues are outstanding intercompany claims and claims
against Lehman's international operations, as well as a time-
intensive process to resolve derivatives claims, Mr. Marsal said.

Creditors could receive a distribution after the reorganization
plan is in effect, Mr. Marsal told the Court, Reuters said.

LEHMAN BROTHERS: U.K. Court Rejects Plan; PwC Looks at Alternative
------------------------------------------------------------------
The United Kingdom Court of Appeal, on November 6, 2009, handed
down its judgment in relation to the application made by the
Joint Administrators of Lehman Brothers International (Europe) to
establish whether the court had jurisdiction to sanction the
proposed scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act
2006.

The judgment reaffirmed the earlier decision of the UK High Court
that as the scheme of arrangement proposed by the Administrators
seeks to modify certain rights of clients whose property is held
on trust by LBIE, the Court has no jurisdiction to sanction a
scheme which modifies affected clients in this manner.

"I am disappointed by this ruling as it restricts the options
available to the Administrators for the return of client assets
and, in particular, the degree of protection afforded to clients
who receive assets back from the Company," Steven Pearson, Joint
Administrator and partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
commented.

"However, following the original judgment we recognized that the
proposed scheme was at risk and in the meantime have worked with
the creditors' committee of LBIE to develop a credible
alternative approach in order to return assets to clients using
approximately the same framework of rules and timeline as was
contained in the proposed scheme.  These alternative proposals
were outlined to affected clients during October and will be
formally launched in an offer circular in the coming weeks."

"However, unlike the proposed scheme, the alternative
arrangements will only bind those clients who positively elect to
sign-up. In order to benefit from these arrangements it is vital
that affected clients take the time to understand what is now
being are proposed and, by the end of the year, sign up to their
terms."

GLG, Ramius and Oceanwood Capital have worked with the
Administrators in developing the alternative proposals.

In the interim, the Administrators are continuing to return
assets to clients on a bilateral basis and have returned some
$13.5bn to date, the Administrators said in a press release.

                    About Lexington Precision

Headquartered in New York, Lexington Precision Corp. --
http://www.lexingtonprecision.com/-- and its wholly-owned
subsidiary Lexington Rubber Group, Inc. conduct their operations
through two operating groups, the Rubber Group and the Metals
Group.  The business of the Rubber Group is conducted by LRGI
while the business of the Metals Group is conducted by LPC.

The Rubber Group is a manufacturer of tight-tolerance, molder
rubber componets that are sold to customers who supply the
automotive aftermarket, to customers who supply the automotive
original-equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), and to manufacturers of
medical devices.  The Metals Group manufactures a variety of high-
volume components that are machined from aluminum, brass, steel,
and stainless steel bars and blanks.  The components produced by
the Metals Group include airbag inflator components, solenoids for
transmissions, fluid handling couplings, hydraulic valve blocks,
power steering components, and wiper-system components, primarily
for use by the automotive OEMs.

The Company and its affiliate, Lexington Rubber Group Inc., filed
for Chapter 11 protection on April 1, 2008 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead
Case No.08-11153).  Christopher J. Marcus, Esq., and Victoria
Vron, Esq., at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, represent the Debtors in
their restructuring efforts.  The Debtors selected Epiq Systems -
Bankruptcy Solutions LLC as claims agent.  The U.S. Trustee for
Region 2 appointed six creditors to serve on an official committee
of unsecured creditors.  Paul N. Silverstein, Esq., and Jonathan
Levine, Esq., at Andrews Kurth LLP, represent the Committee as
counsel.

On June 30, 2008, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a
plan of reorganization.  Before this third amended plan, it was
amended twice, on August 8, 2008, and then on December 17, 2008.


LIZ CLAIBORNE: Moody's Downgrades Corporate Family Rating to 'B3'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered Liz Claiborne's Corporate Family
Rating to B3 from B2.  Other rating actions are detailed below.
The rating outlook is stable.  The rating action concludes the
review for possible downgrade that commenced on August 13, 2009.

"The downgrade of Liz's ratings reflect Moody's expectations that
the company's credit metrics will remain weak for an extended
period of time as it recovers from the meaningful operating losses
anticipated in 2009" said Moody's Vice President Scott Tuhy.
"While Moody's expect the company to begin to improve performance
in 2010, it is unlikely to achieve metrics appropriate for the B2
rating".

While Moody's expects some actions -- such as the shift in
distribution strategy for the Liz Claiborne brand family -- to
have a positive impact on performance, there remain execution
risks associated with the company's various strategic initiatives.
Most notably, Mexx continues to struggle, and is incurring
significant operating losses.  While a new management team has
been hired for this division, it will take some time for efforts
to stabilize and improve this unit.  Moody's also expects
discretionary consumer spending to remain weak, which creates
additional challenges for the company to execute its initiatives.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectations that the
company will make progress reducing its operating losses over the
next year such that it achieves metrics more appropriate for the
current rating.  The stable outlook also reflects expectations
that the company will continue to generate positive free cash flow
and reduce debt.  Moody's expects positive cash flow as a result
of the shift in distribution strategy for the Liz Claiborne brand
family, as working capital needs will be reduced.

The company's liquidity profile is good following recent
amendments to its asset-based revolving credit facility.  The
company no longer is subject to a fixed charge coverage covenant
in this agreement, provided availability is maintained above
certain thresholds.  Moody's expects that the company will
maintain ample availability which will improve further as the
company continues to reduce debt.  Given the success obtaining
this amendment, the company should be able to extend this facility
on terms that provide it with continued good borrowing base
availability.  In addition, Liz anticipates an additional cash tax
refund in the near term due to recent tax law changes.

These ratings were downgraded:

  -- Corporate Family Rating to B3 from B2

  -- Probability of Default Rating to B3 from B2

  -- EUR 350 million senior unsecured notes due July 2013 to Caa2
     (LGD 5, 82%) from Caa1 (LGD 5, 83%)

Moody's last rating action on Liz Claiborne Inc was on August 13,
2009, when the company's Corporate Family Rating was lowered to B2
from Ba3 and placed on review for further possible downgrade.

Headquartered in New York, New York, Liz Claiborne Inc. is a
leading designer and distributor of apparel and related
accessories.  In addition to the Liz Claiborne brand, the
company's brands include Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand Jeans, Kate
Spade, Mexx, and DKNY Jeans (under license).


LYONDELL CHEMICAL: Reliance Offers to Acquire Controlling Stake
---------------------------------------------------------------
Reliance Industries Ltd., India's biggest company by market value,
has submitted a bid for LyondellBasell Industries AF.

LyondellBasell has confirmed the bid.  "LyondellBasell has
received a preliminary non-binding offer from Reliance Industries
Limited to acquire for cash a controlling interest in the company
contemporaneously with the company's emergence from Chapter 11
reorganization," Lyondel said in a statement.  "This offer is in
addition to the previous non-binding equity financing proposals
received by the company and represents a potential alternative to
the initial plan of reorganization previously filed by the
company."

Lyondell added that consistent with its fiduciary duties,
management will continue to work with all parties to design an
approach that maximizes value for the company's creditors through
the pursuit of a confirmable plan of reorganization and enhances
the financial strength of the reorganized company."

                         $12 Billion Offer

The Wall Street Journal's Mike Spector and Eric Yep said Reliance
Industries Ltd. made an offer of around $12 billion to take a
controlling interest in LyondellBasell Industries when it exits
bankruptcy, people familiar with the situation said.  The Journal
notes that neither company disclosed the amount of the bid in
statements Saturday, but $12 billion in cash was in the
neighborhood of what Reliance offered, the people said.

The Journal says the Reliance deal could upend a restructuring
plan that would hand LyondellBasell to senior lenders in exchange
for canceling much of their debt.  That plan includes a
$2.5 billion rights offering to take the company out of
bankruptcy, led by private-investment firms that include Apollo
Management, Ares Management and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., the
Journal relates.

                       Buying Assets at Cheap

Natalie Obiko Pearson at Bloomberg reports that Reliance seeks to
take advantage of the global financial crisis to expand overseas.
"It's not really the best time to be taking on refining assets,"
said Tony Regan, a consultant at Tri-Zen International Ltd. in
Singapore.  "It's an opportunistic purchase if the company is
bankrupt, but there's a reason why those assets are cheap."

According to Bloomberg, Reliance joins India's Essar Group in
bidding for plants overseas as declining fuel demand and
processing margins prompt global rivals Royal Dutch Shell Plc and
Exxon Mobil Corp. to sell assets including refineries.  Ambani,
armed with $4.2 billion in cash, told shareholders last week that
"global growth by acquisitions" is the key to boosting revenue.

If the Lyondell transaction were completed, it would be the
biggest by an Indian company since Tata Steel Ltd. bought Corus
Group Plc for $12 billion in 2007, Bloomberg said.

and development, LyondellBasell develops innovative materials and
technologies that deliver exceptional customer value and products
that improve quality of life for people around the world.
Headquartered in The Netherlands, LyondellBasell --
http://www.lyondellbasell.com/-- is privately owned by Access
Industries.

Basell AF and Lyondell Chemical Company merged operations in 2007
to form LyondellBasell Industries, the world's third largest
independent chemical company.  LyondellBasell became saddled with
debt as part of the US$12.7 billion merger.  On January 6, 2009,
LyondellBasell Industries' U.S. operations and one of its European
holding companies -- Basell Germany Holdings GmbH -- filed
voluntary petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code to facilitate a restructuring of the company's
debts.  The case is In re Lyondell Chemical Company, et al.,
Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 09-10023).  Seventy-nine Lyondell
entities, including Equistar Chemicals, LP, Lyondell Chemical
Company, Millennium Chemicals Inc., and Wyatt Industries, Inc.
filed for Chapter 11.  In May 2009, one of the cases was dismissed
-- Case No. 09-10068 -- because it is duplicative of Case No. 09-
10040 relating to Debtor Glidden Latin America Holdings.

The Hon. Robert E. Gerber presides over the case.  Deryck A.
Palmer, Esq., at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, in New York,
serves as the Debtors' bankruptcy counsel.  Evercore Partners
serves as financial advisors, and Alix Partners and its subsidiary
AP Services LLC, serves as restructuring advisors.  AlixPartners'
Kevin M. McShea acts as the Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer.
Clifford Chance LLP serves as restructuring advisors to the
European entities.  Lyondell Chemical estimated that consolidated
assets total US$27.12 billion and debts total US$19.34 billion as
of the bankruptcy filing date.

Lyondell has obtained approximately US$8 billion in DIP financing
to fund continuing operations.  The DIP financing includes two
credit agreements: a US$6.5 billion term loan, which comprises a
US$3.25 billion in new loans and a US$3.25 billion roll-up of
existing loans; and a US$1.57 billion asset-backed lending
facility.

Luxembourg-based LyondellBasell Industries AF S.C.A. and another
affiliate were voluntarily added to Lyondell Chemical's
reorganization filing under Chapter 11 on April 24, 2009, in order
to seek protection against claims by certain financial and U.S.
trade creditors.  On May 8, 2009, LyondellBasell Industries added
13 non-operating entities to Lyondell Chemical Company's
reorganization filing under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code.  All of the entities are U.S. companies and were added to
the original Chapter 11 filing for administrative purposes.  The
filings will have no impact on current business or operations as
none of the entities manufactures or sells products.

Bankruptcy Creditors' Service, Inc., publishes Lyondell Bankruptcy
News.  The newsletter tracks the Chapter 11 proceeding undertaken
by Lyondell Chemical Company and its various affiliates.

MERCER INTERNATIONAL: Reports EUR16,049,000 Net Loss for Q3 2009
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mercer International Inc. reported a net loss of EUR16,049,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, from a net loss of
EUR20,463,000 for the same period a year ago.  Mercer posted a net
loss of EUR76,133,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, from a net loss of EUR16,470,000 for the same period a year
ago.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was EUR14,112,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net loss
attributable to common shareholders of EUR17,173,000 for the same
period a year ago.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was EUR64,938,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net loss
attributable to common shareholders of EUR13,433,000 for the same
period a year ago.

Revenues were EUR156,231,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, from EUR184,828,000 for the same period a year
ago.  Revenues were EUR454,687,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, from EUR548,295,000.

At September 30, 2009, Mercer had EUR1,085,649,000 in total assets
against EUR1,005,232,000 in total liabilities.

In an October 28 news release announcing its financial results,
Mercer said as at September 30, 2009, its cash and cash
equivalents were EUR51.3 million and working capital was
EUR70.2 million.  The decrease in working capital includes
EUR14.0 million of higher current indebtedness resulting from the
reclassification of the revolving credit facility for its Celgar
mill, which matures in May 2010, to a current liability.  The
lower working capital also reflects improvements in fiber supply
chain management and a rebalancing of finished goods inventories
from the very high levels Mercer experienced at the end of 2008
amid plummeting world pulp markets.  Mercer currently expects to
complete an extension of the maturity of the revolving credit
facility for Celgar in the fourth quarter of 2009.

As at September 30, 2009, Mercer was in full compliance with all
of the covenants of its indebtedness.

Jimmy S.H. Lee, President and Chairman, said on October 28, 2009,
"In the third quarter, pulp markets continued to strengthen.
Strong demand from China and historically low global inventories
for bleached softwood kraft pulp, which are reported to have
currently fallen to approximately 22 days of supply, helped
support upward pricing momentum.  During the current quarter,
three price increases raised European list prices by a total of
US$100 per ADMT to US$730 per ADMT by quarter end.  Subsequently,
in October, producers implemented a further US$30 per ADMT price
increase and, effective November 1, 2009, have announced a further
US$40 per ADMT price increase.  Such price increases were
partially offset by the continued weakening of the U.S. dollar
versus the Euro and Canadian dollar in the period. While prices
are substantially improved from the prior quarter, they are still
well below prices in the same period of last year."

Mr. Lee continued: "Our results were impacted by 30 days of
scheduled production downtime at our German mills, including 21
days at our Rosenthal mill in September. Operationally the quarter
was a positive one as we benefitted from lower production costs
due to improved productivity, lower fiber costs and cost-saving
initiatives at all of our mills."

Mr. Lee added: "We are also pleased with the approximately C$57.7
million in credits we have been allocated under the Canadian
government's Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program. We
intend to complete construction of the Celgar green energy project
with funding from such credits."

Mr. Lee concluded: "We are beginning to see signs of a global
economic revival including gains in key Asian economies and
improved outlooks in developed economies. In the pulp markets,
pricing improvements have been driven by strong demand from China
and production curtailments taken by many producers.  We currently
expect recent pulp price improvements combined with only seven
days of scheduled downtime to result in improved operating results
in the fourth quarter.  Possible headwinds to a robust recovery in
our industry include the potential of recently shut capacity
coming back online more quickly than anticipated and a second wave
of government subsidies for U.S. producers.  In general, we are
optimistic on the short-term outlook for pulp prices and believe
that the sustainability of restarts and other high cost producers
is possible only in a sustained higher pulp price environment."

                           Stendal Mill

Mercer discloses based upon its current forecasts and pulp price
assumptions, it believes that when it reports its fiscal 2009
results its Stendal mill likely may not be in compliance with its
"debt-to-EBITDA" covenant pursuant to the Stendal Loan Facility
calculated for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Stendal Loan Facility is a EUR827,950,000 loan facility used
to finance construction related to the Stendal mill.  Mercer has a
74.90% equity ownership in Stendal mill.

Mercer said its Stendal mill intends to review the matter with its
lenders and, if required, seek a satisfactory amendment or waiver.

In addition, Mercer said it has the right but not the obligation
for a period of 20 business days after notice of breach by the
lenders to cure such breach by providing additional equity to
Stendal.  As the Stendal mill is expected to be in compliance with
all of its other obligations pursuant to the Stendal Loan Facility
and such facility benefits from governmental guarantees of 80% of
the principal amount, Mercer said it currently believes the mill
and its majority lenders will, if required, reach a satisfactory
arrangement.

However, if the Stendal mill is not in compliance with such
covenant, there can be no assurance that the majority lenders
under the Stendal Loan Facility will accept or agree to a
satisfactory amendment or waiver or that Mercer will be in a
position, after notice, to cure the breach.  In such case, the
lenders under the Stendal Loan Facility will be entitled to pursue
their remedies under such facility, including acceleration of the
indebtedness.  This would have a material adverse effect on the
Stendal mill and Mercer's results of operations and business.  The
Stendal Loan Facility is without recourse to the "Restricted
Group" which is comprised of Mercer Inc. and the Rosenthal and
Celgar mills.

MERCURY COMPANIES: Court Approves Plan Filing Until January 4
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Michael E. Romero of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Colorado extended Mercury Companies Inc., et al.'s
exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization until Jan. 4,
2010, and the date by which each class of impaired creditors must
accept the plan until March 5, 2010.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 22, 2009, the
Debtors said that they are well into the claims review and
objection process and have had discussion and concluded
negotiations with some of their large creditors to resolve
potential objections.

The Debtors also related that they are in the final stages of
their asset liquidations.

Denver, Colorado-based Mercury Companies Inc. is a holding company
primarily for subsidiaries that until recently were involved in
the settlement services industry, including title services, escrow
services, real estate services, mortgage services, mortgage
document preparation, and settlement services software
development.  Mercury has since wound down or sold its operations.

Mercury Companies filed for Chapter 11 protection on August 28,
2008.  Two months later, six subsidiaries, namely Arizona Title
Agency, Inc., Financial Title Company, Lenders Choice Title
Company, Lenders First Choice Agency, Inc., Texas United Title,
Inc., dba United Title of Texas and Title Guaranty Agency of
Arizona, Inc., also filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions.  The
units' cases are jointly administered with Mercury's (Bankr. D.
Colo. Lead Case No. 08-23125).  Daniel J. Garfield, Esq., and
Michael J. Pankow, Esq., at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck;
Kathleen A. Odle, Esq., at Sherman & Howard; and Vikki L. Vander
Woude, Esq., at Manatt Phelps & Phillips, represent the Debtors as
counsel.  Lars H. Fuller, Esq., at Baker Hostetler, serves as the
official committee of unsecured creditors' counsel.


MERIDIAN RESOURCE: Fortis Forbearance Pact Expires Today
--------------------------------------------------------
Meridian Resource Corp. and certain of its subsidiaries said
November 19 in a regulatory filing that on November 13 they
entered into amendments with Fortis Capital Corp. and other
lenders.

The Fourth Amendment to Forbearance and Amendment Agreement
extends to November 23, 2009, the date by which the Fortis
Forbearance Agreement will terminate if, by that date, Meridian
has not enter into (a) a merger agreement pursuant to which the
Company will merge with or into or be acquired by or transfer all
or substantially all of its assets to another person; (b) a
capital infusion agreement pursuant to which one or more persons
will contribute subordinated debt or equity capital to the Company
in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to pay to the
Lenders an amount equal to 100% of its borrowing base deficiency;
or (c) a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which the Company
agrees to sell one or more oil and gas properties for net proceeds
sufficient to enable the Company to pay to the Lenders an amount
equal to 100% of the borrowing base deficiency, plus any
incremental borrowing base deficiency resulting from such sales.

To recall, the Company's borrowing base was redetermined by its
bank group earlier this year.  Fortis Capital Corp., the
administrative agent for the bank group, notified the Company that
its borrowing base had been reduced from $95 million to $60
million, resulting in a borrowing base deficiency of $35 million.
The borrowing base was lowered due primarily to the reduction in
borrowing capacity attributable to the value of Meridian's oil and
gas properties as a result of precipitous declines in commodity
prices.  Under the terms of the credit facility agreement, the
Company had 90 days from the April 30, 2009 effective date of the
redetermination to cure the borrowing base deficiency.
Accordingly, a $35 million payment to the bank group for the
borrowing base deficiency was due July 29, 2009.

In August 2009, the Company did not have sufficient cash available
to repay the deficiency and, consequently, failed to pay the
amount when due and went into default under the credit facility
for that failure.  Meridian negotiated a forbearance agreement
with its bank group which was signed on September 3, 2009
regarding the deficiency and default.  The forbearance agreement
has been extended for several times, the purpose of which is to
allow Meridian more time to execute potential solutions for the
deficiency per the requirements.

                      About Meridian Resource

Based in Houston, Texas, The Meridian Resource Corporation
(NYSE:TMR) -- http://www.tmrc.com/-- is an independent oil and
natural gas company engaged in the exploration, exploitation,
acquisition and development of oil and natural gas in Louisiana,
Texas, and the Gulf of Mexico.  Meridian has access to an
extensive inventory of seismic data and, among independent
producers, is a leader in using 3-D seismic and other technologies
to analyze prospects, define risk, target and complete high-
potential wells for exploration and development. Meridian has a
field office in Weeks Island, Louisiana.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had $190,339,000 in total
assets, including $18,090,000 in total current assets, against
$120,634,000 in total current liabilities and $17,736,000 in asset
retirement obligations.

The Company noted that its default under the debt agreements,
which has been mitigated in the short term by certain forbearance
agreements, negatively impacts future cash flow and the Company's
access to credit or other forms of capital.  There is substantial
doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
for a period longer than the next 12 months, the Company said.
It added that it might have to seek protection under federal
bankruptcy laws if it is unable to comply with the forbearance
agreements or if those agreements expire.


METCALF PAVING: Blames Some Staff Members & Supplier for Bankr.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ira B. Charmoy, Esq., at Zeldes, Needle & Cooper -- which
represents The Metcalf Paving Co. Inc. -- said in a statement that
"dishonest actions of members of its staff, who have since been
fired, working in collusion with the staff of one of Metcalf's
largest suppliers" forced the Company into bankruptcy.  Citing Mr.
Charmoy, David Krechevsky at The Republican-American reports that
the resulting debt, along with "the severe downturn in the
economy, caused the Company to fall behind in its commitments with
its major lender, Naugatuck Savings Bank, as well as with other
trade vendors."  According to The Republican-American, Mr.
declined to say how many Metcalf Paving workers were involved or
how many had been fired.  The report says that Mr. Charmoy also
declined to identify the supplier, what the "dishonest actions"
were, or how the company became aware of them, saying that
information "is too sensitive at present to discuss."

The Metcalf Paving Co. Inc. is a paving and asphalt milling
company based in the Pines Bridge Industrial Park.  Metcalf Paving
is a family-owned company that started in Southbury before moving
to 65 Lancaster Drive in the industrial park.

As reported by the TCR on November 2, 2009, The Metcalf Paving Co.
Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut, listing
$1 million to $10 million in assets against $1 million to
$10 million in debts owed to 100 to 199 creditors.


METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER: Bank Debt Trades at 36% Off
------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer, Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 64.25
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Nov. 20, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 6.25
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The loan matures April 8, 2012.  The Company pays 275 basis points
above LIBOR to borrow under the facility.  The bank debt is not
rated by Moody's and Standard & Poor's.  The debt is one of the
biggest gainers and losers among 178 widely quoted syndicated
loans with five or more bids in secondary trading in the week
ended Nov. 20.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc., is an independent, privately held
motion picture, television, home video, and theatrical production
and distribution company.  The Company owns the world's largest
library of modern films, comprising approximately 4,000 titles,
and over 10,400 episodes of television programming.  MGM is owned
by an investor consortium, comprised of Providence Equity
Partners, TPG Capital, Sony Corporation of America, Comcast
Corporation, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners and Quadrangle Group.

The Troubled Company Reporter said on May 22, that Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer hired Moelis & Co. to help refinance $3.7 billion debt and
was in talks with a steering committee of 140 creditors led by
JPMorgan Chase & Co. as part of the process.  Sue Zeidler at
Reuters said the studio "was exploring options for optimizing its
capital structure and has begun talks with a steering committee of
its lenders as part of the process."  Ms. Zeidler said bankers
estimate MGM is paying north of $250 million a year in interest on
debt due in 2012.  Sources told Reuters MGM was potentially
seeking a way to make the loan due later, or reduce it in size.

Comcast paid about $5 billion in debt and equity in September 2004
to buy MGM from majority owner Kirk Kerkorian.  According to
Reuters, merger specialists have said MGM could be worth
$2 billion to $2.5 billion.  MGM, however, has reiterated its
commitment to staying independent.

MORTGAGES LTD: Investors Tried To Stymie Plan, Agent Says
---------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that the agent for individual investors in
Mortgages Ltd.'s bankruptcy has asked a judge for attorneys' fees
from Rev Op Group, alleging the investors group has tried to
stymie the implementation of the mortgage lender's Chapter 11 plan
with frivolous litigation.

Phoenix, Arizona-based Mortgages Ltd. -- http://www.mtgltd.com/
-- acted as a full service private lender prior to filing for
bankruptcy.  Through its licensed broker dealer, Mortgages Ltd.
Securities, ML received money raised from approximately 2,700
investors for placement into loans secured by real estate located
solely in Arizona.  These accredited investors financed the
lending operations of ML and received as collateral for their
funding direct fractional interests in "pass through" loans and
deeds of trust or membership interests in "Opportunity Funds"
which held fractionalized interests in loans and deeds of trust.

Mortgages Ltd. was the subject of an involuntary Chapter 7
petition dated June 20, 2008, filed by KGM Builders Inc. -- a
contractor for Grace Communities, a borrower of the company --
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona.
Central & Monroe LLC and Osborn III Partners LLC, divisions of
Grace Communities, sought the appointment of an interim trustee
for Mortgages Ltd. in the Chapter 7 proceeding.

Mortgages Ltd. is also facing lawsuits filed by Grace Communities
and Rightpath Limited Development Group for its alleged failure to
fully fund loans.  Mortgages Ltd. denied the charges.  It has
filed a motion to dismiss the Rightpath suit.

The Debtor's case was converted to a chapter 11 proceeding on
June 24, 2008 (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 08-07465).  Judge Sarah
Sharer Curley presides over the case.  Carolyn Johnsen, Esq., and
Bradley Stevens, Esq., at Jennings, Strouss & Salmon P.L.C.,
replaced Todd A. Burgess, Esq., at Greenberg Traurig LLP, as
counsel to the Debtor.  As of December 31, 2007, the Debtor had
total assets of $358,416,681 and total debts of $350,169,423.

The Debtor recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with an
approved reorganization plan.


NATIONAL CONSUMER COOP: Noteholders Sign Forbearance Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------
The National Consumer Cooperative Bank and its wholly owned
subsidiary NCB Financial Corporation, as guarantor, on
November 16, 2009, entered into an Amended and Restated Noteholder
Forbearance Agreement with the holders of its Senior Notes due
December 28, 2009 and the holders of its Senior Notes due December
15, 2010.  Also, on November 16, NCB entered into an Amended and
Restated Forbearance Agreement with respect to its May 1, 2006
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, with SunTrust
Bank as administrative agent.

The Forbearance Agreements extended the forbearance established
under similar agreements dated August 14, 2009 entered into as a
result of NCB's default under its senior notes purchase agreement
and its revolving credit facility due to a violation of certain
financial covenants because of increased loan loss provisions and
charge-offs principally related to a small number of borrowers
experiencing pronounced financial difficulties, including several
borrowers which have filed for bankruptcy.  The Forbearance
Agreements were entered into under customary terms and conditions
consistent with the August 14, 2009 forbearance agreements. Other
provisions in the Forbearance Agreements include:

    * a forbearance period that will expire on February 17, 2009
      under the senior note purchase agreement and the revolving
      credit facility by each of the counterparties under those
      instruments.

    * agreement by NCB to a minimum liquidity covenant during the
      duration of the forbearance period.

    * a total principal payment of $31 million, with additional
      monthly cash payments consisting of cash in excess of a
      specified level.

    * the payment of a forbearance fee of 50 basis points of the
      aggregate outstanding principal amount of the senior notes
      and the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the
      revolving credit facility. Total forbearance fees are
      approximately $1.1 million.

Until a further agreement is reached with the banks under the
revolving credit facility, NCB does not have access to the
revolving line of credit.  NCB intends to use the additional 90-
day forbearance period to continue to work with the lenders,
noteholders and regulatory authorities to outline and begin
implementation of a plan to address its debt burden and maximize
liquidity. In the event that NCB is ultimately unable to reach an
agreement to amend its existing loan agreements or otherwise repay
and extinguish the senior note agreement and revolving credit
agreement prior to the expiration or termination of the
Forbearance Agreements, the lenders and the noteholders have the
right to call and demand immediate repayment of any and all
amounts due.

The National Consumer Cooperative Bank, which does business as
NCB, is a financial institution.  The Company principally provides
financial services to eligible cooperative enterprises or
enterprises controlled by eligible cooperatives.  A cooperative
enterprise is an organization, which is owned by its members and
which is engaged in producing or furnishing goods, services, or
facilities for the benefit of its members or voting stockholders
who are the ultimate consumers or primary producers of such goods,
services, or facilities.


NEUMANN HOMES: Plan Outline Hearing Continued to December 9
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois
further moved the hearing to consider approval of the disclosure
statement explaining the Joint Plan of Liquidation of Neumann
Homes Inc. and its affiliated debtors to December 9, 2009.

The latest Disclosure Statement hearing set is the fourth
adjournment, the latest being set for November 18, 2009.

At the hearing, the Court has to ascertain if the Disclosure
Statement in its present form provides adequate information for
creditors entitled to vote on the Plan to make an informed
decision on the Plan.

The Debtors' Joint Plan of Liquidation was presented to the Court
last on August 26, 2009.  It provides for the liquidation of the
Debtors' assets and the distribution of the net proceeds of the
Debtors' assets and the distribution of the net proceeds to
creditors in order of the relative priority for distribution.  It
is predicated upon the entry of an order that would substantively
consolidate the Debtors' estates and their bankruptcy cases for
purposes of all actions associated with confirmation and
consummation of the Plan.

NEUMANN HOMES: Proposes Settlement with GMAC Model
--------------------------------------------------
Before the Petition Date, some of Neumann Homes entities entered
into a sales and marketing agreement with GMAC Model Home Finance,
Inc.  The Agreement provides that the Debtors would build and
convey certain model homes to GMAC Model Homes, which in turn,
would lease those model homes to the Debtors.

Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated January 15, 2003, Residential
Funding Company LLC, a successor-in-interest to and assignee of
RFC Construction Funding LLC, provided secured revolving loans to
the Debtors to finance their residential acquisition, development
and construction projects.  As of November 1, 2007, the
outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness owed by the
Debtors to Residential Funding was not less than $19,628,830.

Pursuant to a Second Loan Agreement dated January 3, 2005,
Residential Funding provided additional secured revolving loans
to the Debtors to finance the operation of their home building
business.  As of November 1, 2007, the outstanding principal
balance of the indebtedness owed by the Debtors was not less than
$75,000,000.

In accordance with the terms of the December 13, 2007 order, the
partially constructed homes on which Residential Funding held a
lien were transferred to DOA Properties II LLC, to be completed
and resold.  In exchange for the developed homes, Residential
Funding released the Debtors from all liability with respect to
approximately $2.4 million of their debt under the January 2003
Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of a April 15, 2009 Court Order, the
remaining assets of the residential developments on which
Residential Funding held a lien were transferred to DOA to
complete development or to resell the property.  In exchange,
Residential Funding released the Debtors from all liability
with respect to $13.6 million of their debt under the January
2003 Loan Agreement.

As of November 13, 2009, Residential Funding is owed $75,000,000
under the January 2005 Loan Agreement.

                      The Settlement Issues

During the pendency of the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases, GMAC Model
alleged that some of the model homes and the real property on
which they are constructed were previously conveyed to GMAC Model
pursuant to the Sales and Marketing Agreement.

GMAC Model contended that Unit Nos. 1-102, 1-202, 2-104, 2-105
and 2-106 located in the NeuDearborn Station Condominiums in
DuPage County, Illinois, were conveyed by the Debtors to GMAC
Model in exchange for about $1.2 million in cash in accordance
with the terms of the Sales and Marketing Agreement.  The Debtors
however, believe that they, and not GMAC Model, hold unencumbered
record title to the NeuDearborn properties.

To resolve their dispute, the Debtors and GMAC Model Homes
entered into a settlement agreement to avoid potentially costly
litigation, the salient terms of which are:

  (1) The Debtors, as directed by GMAC Model, is required to
      correct all existing deeds and other title documents, and
      if necessary, execute and deliver new deeds and other
      title documents with respect to the NeuDearborn home
      units.

  (2) GMAC Model will retain Koenig & Strey Realtors or another
      realtor in Chicago to market and sell each of the
      NeuDearborn home units to buyers unaffiliated with GMAC
      Model, its subsidiaries, affiliates and other concerned
      parties, in a manner customary for selling residential
      property in Naperville, Illinois.  GMAC Model will control
      all aspects of the sale while the Debtors will not have
      any right to direct, approve, consent to or object to any
      aspect of the sale, except the purchase price of each home
      unit.

      Within seven days following the consummation of the sale
      of each home unit, GMAC Model will notify the Debtors in
      writing of the particular home unit sold, the gross sale
      price paid by the buyer and the net sale proceeds
      generated.

  (3) In the event the proposed gross sale price for any home
      unit is less than the minimum gross sale price mutually
      agreed by the Debtors and GMAC Model, GMAC Model will
      provide a written notice to the Debtors before entering
      into a binding sale contract with a buyer.

      The Debtors will be deemed to consent to the proposed sale
      of the unit unless they notify GMAC Model Homes in writing
      that they do not consent to the proposed sale.  Within
      five days following delivery of any objection, the Debtors
      will file a motion to set the minimum gross sale price for
      the home units.

  (4) As consideration for the terms of settlement, GMAC Model
      will pay to the Debtors $250,000, and cash equal to 50% of
      all net sale proceeds in excess of $1 million.  The
      Debtors will not be entitled to any excess cash payment
      until and unless GMAC Model has received more than
      $1 million in net sale proceeds and the sales of all five
      NeuDearborn home units have closed.

  (5) The Debtors and GMAC Model agree that the validity,
      enforceability and non-avoidability of any asserted liens
      on the NeuDearborn home units will be determined pursuant
      to a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction;
      pursuant to a settlement between the claim holder and GMAC
      Model which must be in full satisfaction of the liability
      secured by those liens; or otherwise with the consent of
      the Debtors.

A full-text copy of the Neumann-GMAC Model Settlement is
available without charge at:

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

The Debtors' attorney, George Panagakis, Esq., at Skadden Arps
Slate Meagher & Flom LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, asserts that the
parties' Settlement is fair and reasonable.  The Settlement, he
insists, provides substantial value to the Debtors' estates in
the form of an immediate cash payment of $250,000 plus the
possibility of substantial future cash recoveries depending upon
the sale prices earned for the model home property, he points
out.

To the contrary, failure to resolve the parties' dispute could
result in costly and time-consuming litigation between the
settlement parties, Mr. Panagakis points out.

Accordingly, the Debtors ask the Court to approve their
Settlement Agreement with GMAC Model.

The Court will hold a hearing on December 9, 2009, to consider
approval of the Settlement Agreement.  Creditors and other
concerned parties have until December 4, 2009, to file their
objections.

NEW LEAF BRANDS: Sept. 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $6.1-Mil.
----------------------------------------------------------------
New Leaf Brands, Inc., reported an upside-down balance sheet at
September 30, 2009.  The Company had $13,495,519 in total assets
against $19,605,439 in total liabilities, resulting in $6,109,920
stockholders' deficit.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $35,560,749.

The Company's September 30 balance sheet also showed strained
liquidity: The Company had $935,924 in total current assets
against $18,832,606 in total current liabilities.

The Company had negative net working capital of roughly
$17,896,682 at September 30, 2009.  The Company has not yet
created positive cash flows from operating activities and its
ability to generate profitable operations on a sustainable basis
is uncertain.  According to New Leaf Brands, these factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

The Company believes that its existing cash resources, combined
with projected cash flows from operations may not be sufficient to
execute its business plan and continue operations for the next 12
months.  The Company changed its strategic direction with the sale
of its Lifetime and Baywood brands operating under its wholly
owned subsidiary, Nutritional Specialties, Inc., to provide the
necessary resources aimed at achieving profitability and positive
cash flow.   Additionally, management has taken steps to reduce
the Company's operating expenses.  The Company will continue to
explore various strategic alternatives, including business
combinations and private placements of debt and or equity
securities to raise capital.

On October 20, 2009, pursuant to the approval by the Company's
preferred stock holders and its Board of Directors, the Company
filed Certificates of Amendment to the Certificates of Designation
of its Class A Preferred Shares, its Series I 8% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, and its Series J 6% Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Amendments have the effect of
causing the outstanding shares of the Company's Series A, Series I
and Series J Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of its
common stock, with an effective date of August 31, 2009.

A full-text copy of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q
dated November 17, 2009, is available at no charge at:

               http://ResearchArchives.com/t/s?4a00

The 10-Q report was filed one day after New Leaf said it would
delay filing the document.

Baywood International, Inc. changed its name effective October 16,
2009 to New Leaf Brands, Inc. to reflect the change in strategic
direction with the sale of Baywood's nutraceutical businesses on
October 9, 2009.  The name change was effective in the market at
the open of business October 19, 2009, at which time the Company's
ticker symbol changed from BAYW.OB to NLEF.OB.

On July 24, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement with Nutra, Inc., a subsidiary of Nutraceutical
International Corporation.   The Company sold substantially all of
the rights and assets of Nutritional Specialties' business,
including but not limited to its accounts, notes and other
receivables, inventory, tangible assets, rights existing under
assigned purchase orders, proprietary rights, government licenses,
customer lists, records, goodwill and assumed contracts.  Certain
rights and assets were excluded from the purchased assets,
including the right to market, sell and distribute beverages.

The Company's new planned strategic direction is to build a
beverage company around its New Leaf brand of ready-to-drink teas
and other new functional beverages.  Even with limited access to
capital, the Company has grown the New Leaf brand.  New Leaf
beverages are sold in 24 states, through 75 distributors and 14
well-known retailers in over 8,000 outlets.  The Company sold
118,820 cases of iced tea in the third quarter of 2009, up over
54% from 77,124 cases in the third quarter of 2008.  The Company
anticipates that, after its debts are repaid and renegotiated, it
will be able to raise capital to grow its New Leaf brand as well
as develop additional brands.

In exchange, Nutra, Inc. agreed to pay an aggregate purchase price
of $8,250,000 in cash, less payment of liabilities, a $250,000
retention and certain pre-closing working capital adjustments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the assets of Nutritional Specialties
were evaluated at closing to see if they have a minimum net asset
value as of the closing date, after giving effect to normal
generally accepted accounting principles, adjustments for reserves
and except for routine reductions related to normal amortization
and depreciation, equal to $1,848,604.  If the net asset value was
greater or less than $1,848,604 at the closing, the purchase price
payable at closing would be increased or decreased by the amount
of such difference on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  At closing, the
net asset value was $2,176,411 and therefore the initial purchase
price of $8,250,000 was increased by $327,807.  The asset sale
contemplated by the Agreement closed on October 9, 2009.

The Company is currently in default on notes that mature before
November 10, 2009.  The Company said $1,364,219 of this debt was
paid in October 2009 and the Company intends to convert the
remaining debt into equity.  In the subsequent period ended as of
November 10, 2009, the related party debt holders agreed to
convert an aggregate of $3,822,638 of debt and $492,704 of accrued
interest into an aggregate of 17,261,368 shares of common stock at
a conversion price of $0.25 per share.  The effect of these
conversion will be a expense of roughly $7,060,000 based on the
intrinsic value of the company stock compared to the exercise
price.  As of November 16, 2009, the shares have not yet been
issued.


NORBERTO SEDA ORTIZ: Auto Dealer Owner's Discharge Upheld
---------------------------------------------------------
WestLaw reports that "out of trust" sales of automobiles by the
president of an automobile dealership, through sale of automobiles
and failure to remit the proceeds to the lender in default of a
floorplan line of credit under a financing security agreement, had
not been made through actual fraud, false pretenses, or false
statements, as required to exempt the president's debt from
discharge.  The creditor knew of the dealership's financial
disarray even before the debtor became the dealership's president
and opted to carry on doing business with the dealership, those
sales had occurred merely through gross mismanagement of the
dealership, and the dealership's payments merely were late or were
made with insufficient funds' checks.  Mitsubishi Motor Sales of
Caribbean, Inc. v. Ortiz, --- F.Supp.2d ----, 2009 WL 3334925 (D.
P.R.).

Norberto Seda Ortiz (the Debtor) is the President, majority
stockholder and personal guarantor of Mitsubishi and Hyundai
dealer Lunor, Inc.  Documents signed by the Debtor, his wife, and
Lunor promise Mitsubishi that they had the means and intention to
pay for all the units sold under the security agreements and that
they would honor the guarantees, as agreed, and Lunor was granted
the possession of the vehicles for their sale for the benefit of
secured grantor Mitsubishi.

On October 21, 2002, the Debtor and his wife filed a voluntary
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. P.R. Case No. 02-_____) after the
business relationship with Mitsubishi turned sour due to several
factors, such as, poor administration of the business; interoffice
loans; the issuance of bad checks; and, the Debtor's sudden
interest in the insurance business.

As of June 2001, Lunor's out of trust sales' debt was
approximately $1.5 million.  Mitsubishi tried to work out a
repayment plan with the owners of Lunor to no avail, as the
collaterals offered by Lunor had no equity.  As of March 2006, the
out of trust sales' debt well exceeded the $2 million amount.

On April 16, 2003, Mitsubishi sued (Bankr. D. P.R. Adv. Pro. No.
03-0060) the Debtors asking that its $2 million debt be exempted
from discharge, as provided by 11 U.S.C. Sec. 523(a)(2)(A) for
obtaining money or credit by false pretenses and representations;
523(a)(2)(B) for obtaining money or credit through a written
statement that is materially false; 523(a)(4) for fraud, and
523(a)(6) for willful and malicious injury to Mitsubishi's
property and security interest.  At the conclusion of the
presentation of evidence, the bankruptcy court dismissed the
action as to the Debtor's wife, and then ruled against Mitsubishi
as to the Debtor.  The Honorable Enrique S. Lamoutte  concluded
that "[t]he preponderance of the evidence does not show [the
Debtor] intended to cause injury to Mitsubishi.   *   *   *    The
evidence shows that the corporation, Lunor, through its officers
[and] shareholders, breached the financial agreement and caused
substantial economic harm to Mitsubishi.   *   *   *    However,
this mismanagement does not warrant that the corporate debt be
deemed non-dischargeable. . . ."

Mitsubishi appealed to the District Court (D. P.R. Case No. 07-
1643), and the Honorable Daniel R. Dominquez affirmed the
Bankruptcy Court's decision.


NORTEL NETWORKS: EU Signs Off On Avaya-Nortel Deal
--------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that the European Union's antitrust watchdog has
given its blessing to Avaya Inc.'s proposed $915 million purchase
of Nortel Networks Corp.'s enterprise solutions business.

NORTEL NETWORKS: Ciena Corp. Sweetens Ethernet Offer to $714MM
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ciena Corp. has sweetened its bid for Nortel Networks Corp's
optical networking and carrier ethernet business to $714 million,
as the auction for these assets entered its third day, Reuters
reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to the report, Ciena's new bid now consists of $500
million in cash and $214 million in convertible notes, the sources
said, speaking on condition of anonymity since details of the
auction have not been made public.

Nortel Networks began an auction for its metro Ethernet networks
business November 20, where Ciena Corp. was the stalking horse
bidder.  Under the court-approved bidding process, Ciena started
the auction with its offer to pay $390 million cash plus 10
million shares of its stock worth almost $140 million.

A competing bid came from Nokia Siemens Networks, various sources
reported.  Nokia Siemens submitted its bid with One Equity
Partners LLC.

In the event Ciena is not selected as the winning bidder or the
Ciena Asset Sale Agreement with NNI is terminated, the Nortel
units are required to pay the company a break-up fee of up to
US$10.7 million and reimburse as much as US$3.6 million for its
expenses.

NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL: Fitch Upgrades Ratings on Bonds to 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded to 'BB+' from 'BB-' the rating on
approximately $46.5 million North Carolina Medical Care Commission
Hospital revenue bonds (Maria Parham Hospital Project) series
2003.  The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Positive.

The upgrade reflects Maria Parham Healthcare Association, Inc.'s
(Maria Parham) significant strengthening of its balance sheet over
the past three fiscal years, stable operating performance, and
sustained market presence.  An investment grade rating is
precluded by significant losses at employed physician groups, high
debt position, weak payor mix, and poor economic indicators in the
primary service area.

At fiscal year end Sept.  30, 2009, Maria Parham's $25 million of
unrestricted cash and investments amounted to 131.3 days cash on
hand and 52.8% of long-term debt.  These liquidity ratios improved
dramatically over FY2006 levels of 50.8 days cash on hand and
18.1% of long-term debt.  Driving the increased liquidity are
improved earnings and cash flow, strong receivable collections
(with days in accounts receivable at an impressive 34.5 days as of
Sept.  30, 2009), and moderating capital expenses.  While Maria
Parham produced small negative operating margins of -0.7% and -
0.8%, respectively, during the past two years, operations have
stabilized since several years of losses prior to that point.
Factors leading to the enhanced operations include effective cost
controls for supplies, lower contracted labor usage, and
satisfactory payment rates from commercial health plans.  Coverage
levels have also improved dramatically since the rate covenant
violation in FY2005.  For the un-audited FY 2009 period, coverage
of maximum annual debt service by EBITDA (earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was 1.8 times.
Additional credit strengths for Maria Parham are its updated
patient units, minimal capital needs, and effective executive
leadership.

Management reported that Maria Parham's primary service area
inpatient market share remains stable at about 58%.  While the
hospital's financial performance is improved, Maria Parham
continues to subsidize its employed physician groups.  The groups
lost $1.3 million in FY2008 and another $1.6 million in FY2009 on
an un-audited basis.  These physicians are strategically important
to the hospital in terms of programs offered and revenues
generated through their business activity.  Management expects
future losses to moderate, but are not likely to be eliminated.
Fitch remains concerned about the subsidies, but does not expect
them to further impact overall system performance.  Maria Parham's
heavy debt position is evidenced by a high 4.7% MADS as a percent
of total revenue and 54.1% debt-to-capitalization in FY2009.
Maria Parham's payor mix is indicative of its economically
challenged service area and limits operating profitability
potential.  Medicaid reimbursements accounted for 17.5% of gross
revenues in FY2009.  Furthermore, Maria Parham relies upon
Medicaid disproportionate share funds of about $1.5 million-
$2 million per year to support earnings, and bad-debt expenses
account for an extremely high 17.5% of revenues in FY2009.

Unemployment rates in its primary service area, which consists of
Vance and Warren counties, continue to remain high at 13% and
12.7%, respectively, as estimated by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for September 2009.  This is compared to the state of
North Carolina's unemployment rate of approximately 10.4% for the
same period.  Additionally, according to the U.S. Census Bureau,
Vance County's 2007 median household income of $33,525 is only 75%
of the state of NC's $44,772.  Warren County's 2007 median
household income of $30,267 is only 68% of NC's.

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's expectation that financial
operations remain consistent with FY2009's levels and that
physician group subsidies do not weaken system-wide performance.

Maria Parham Healthcare Association serves as the parent
corporation and controls operations at the only other member of
the obligated group, Maria Parham Medical Center.  Maria Parham
Medical Center is a 102-licensed bed acute care hospital located
in Henderson, NC, approximately 45 miles north of Raleigh.  Total
annual revenue for the consolidated organization equaled
$89 million in FY2009.  Maria Parham covenants to disclose both
annual and quarterly financial information to the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board's EMMA system.  Maria Parham discloses
annual and quarterly information through Digital Assurance
Certification, LLC.  Disclosure has been thorough and timely and
has included balance sheet, income statement, cash flows, and
utilization data, but no management discussion and analysis.

OPAL CONCEPTS: Court Dismisses Chapter 11 Reorganization Case
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
dismissed the bankruptcy cases of Opal Concepts Inc. and its
debtor-affiliates.

Howard M. Ehrenberg, the responsible officer, is authorized to
make the distributions to creditors, and to the holders of allowed
priority claims.

Opal Concepts Inc. used to manage Fantastic Sams, one of the
largest franchised hair salon chains in the country with
approximately 1,300 salons operating under its name.  The Company
and its affiliates filed for bankruptcy on July 16, 2002 (Bankr.
C.D. Calif. Case No. 02-15441).  Michael A. Morris, Esq., of Los
Angeles, Calif., represented the Debtors in their restructuring
efforts.  Ames Davis, Esq., of Nashville, Tenn., and Derek W
Edwards, Esq., at Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis, represent the
Joint Committee of Creditors.  The Debtors no longer have business
operations after selling substantially all of their assets.
Howard M. Ehrenberg is the Debtors' sole employee and responsible
person handling the Debtors' estates.


OPUS SOUTH: Asks for March 1 Extension to Lease Decision Period
---------------------------------------------------------------
Opus South Corp. and its units ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware to extend the time within which they may
assume and assign, or reject all unexpired non-residential real
property leases, through and including March 1, 2010.  In
addition, the Debtors seek an interim order temporarily granting
an extension of the lease decision period until the Court enters
a final ruling on their request.

The Opus South Debtors' Lease Decision Period was previously
extended from August 20, 2009, to November 18, 2009.

Victoria W. Counihan, Esq., at Greenberg Traurig LLP, in
Wilmington, Delaware, relates that over the past few months since
the Petition Date, the Debtors have focused their efforts on
marketing and selling or otherwise disposing of their various
real estate and other assets, as well as upon reducing expenses,
dealing with business operational issues, and addressing a
variety of other issues in their Chapter 11 cases.

However, due to the numerous issues that have required the
Debtors' attention and given the current economic climate, the
Debtors need additional time to determine if the Leases have
value to their estates, Ms. Counihan explains.  She notes that
the Debtors are meeting their postpetition monetary obligations
under the Leases, and intend to continue postpetition performance
pending a decision on assumption or rejection.  Accordingly, she
submits that the lessors will suffer no prejudice from an
extension.

"If the Debtors fail to obtain the requested extension, such
failure may be to the economic detriment of the estates and may
frustrate the Debtors' efforts to maximize the value of the
estates," Ms. Counihan points out.

The Debtors certified that no objection or responses were
asserted as to their request as of November 17, 2009.

OPUS WEST: Critical Employees Bonus Program Approved
----------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has approved the Opus West Corp. and its
units' bonus program for certain of their remaining critical
employees for the period from October through December 2009.  The
maximum cost of the Bonus Program is $125,000.  All bonuses under
the Bonus Program will be payable on or after January 1, 2010.

In order to be eligible to receive his or her bonus, a "Critical
Employee" must be employed as of December 31, 2009.  If a
Critical Employee is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily
terminates his or her employment on or prior to December 31, 2010
no bonus will be payable to that Critical Employee.

Clifton R. Jessup, Jr., Esq., at Greenberg Traurig LLP, in
Dallas, Texas, relates that over the past year, the Opus West
Debtors have gradually reduced their employee levels from
approximately 400 employees one year ago to 37 employees as of
the Petition Date.  He reveals that about 21 of the Remaining
Employees are critical to the Debtors' operations during these
Chapter 11 cases for at least the next four months.

The Critical Employees consist of 11 employees in the accounting
and information technology department, two employees in the sales
and finance department, and two in the legal department.

Mr. Jessup says that the Critical Employees perform a variety of
functions and services necessary for the Debtors to continue to
operate postpetition and to maximize the value of their assets
for the benefit of their creditors.  Among other things, the
Employees:

  (a) collect receivables and other amounts owed to the Debtors;

  (b) process and pay accounts payable and other expenses;

  (c) comply with various financial, accounting and other
      reporting requirements;

  (d) process and prepare various tax returns;

  (e) maintain information networks and desktop support;

  (f) handle various legal matters;

  (g) work with the Debtors' professionals and consultants;

  (h) assist in the sale or other disposition of the Debtors'
      assets, including various due diligence and information
      gathering activities; and

  (i) perform a number of bookkeeping, office and administrative
      services relating to Debtors' businesses and operations.

The Debtors have adopted an Employee Bonus Program that is
designed to retain and incentivize the Critical Employees.  Mr.
Jessup says that the Bonus Program for Non-Insider Critical
Employees is designed primarily as a retention bonus plan, while
the Bonus Program for the Insider Critical Employees is designed
primarily as a performance-based incentive bonus plan.

The Debtors believe that 14 of the 15 Critical Employees are not
"insiders" as the term is defined under Section 101(31) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  Claire Janssen, the Debtors' Chief Financial
Officer and a critical employee of the Debtors, may qualify as an
"insider" of the Debtors.

The Debtors estimate that under the Bonus Program, they will pay
approximately $48,437 in retention bonuses for October 2009, and
approximately $40,562 for November 2009, to the Non-insider
Critical Employees.  With respect to the performance bonus for
the Debtors' Chief Financial Officer, the CFO may qualify for a
monthly performance bonus of up to $7,916.

The maximum cost of the Bonus Program for the two-month period
is estimated to aggregate $104,833.

Mr. Jessup relates that the amount of the monthly bonus for the
CFO will be determined by John Greer, a representative of the
Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer, based on an evaluation of
the CFO's work during that particular month using a performance
criteria.  Mr. Greer is not a participant in the Bonus Program
and is otherwise disinterested and able to render a fair and
impartial evaluation of the CFO's monthly performance, Mr. Jessup
assures the Court.  Any performance bonus that is earned by the
CFO during any given month would be earned and payable as of the
last day of that month.

Mr. Jessup asserts that the Bonus Program will help improve
employee morale, which currently is very low in light of the
significant reductions in force over the past year, unpaid
bonuses earned prior to the bankruptcy, the pending termination
of their jobs at the end of the Chapter 11 cases as well as the
added pressure, uncertainty and responsibility resulting from the
filing of the Chapter 11 cases.

PHOENIX FOOTWEAR: Faces Nov. 30 Deadline to Repay Wells Fargo Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective November 5, 2009, Phoenix Footwear Group, Inc., and its
subsidiaries together with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
entered into a Fifth Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement.

The Fifth Amendment amends and modifies certain terms of the
Credit and Security Agreement dated June 10, 2008, as amended by
forbearance agreements and prior amendments to the Credit and
Security Agreement among Phoenix Footwear and its subsidiaries and
Wells Fargo.

Under the Fifth Amendment, these changes were made to the Credit
Agreement:

     -- The borrowing base has been changed by decreasing the
        inventory sublimit to $2.1 million; and

     -- The percentage of Eligible Inventory included in the
        borrowing base has been reset to 41% and the 1% daily
        reductions included in the Fourth Amendment have been
        eliminated.

Under the Fourth Amendment, Wells Fargo agreed, during a
forbearance period, to refrain from exercising any rights and
remedies which it is or may become entitled to as a result of the
existing past financial covenant defaults.  The forbearance period
began on July 9, 2009, and -- provided the Company meets certain
conditions -- ends on October 23, 2009, with various automatic
extensions of the maturity date to November 30, 2009, subject to
earlier termination at the election of Wells Fargo in the event of
an occurrence of any event of default under the Credit Agreement
other than the Specified Events of Default, and subject to
automatic termination in the event of the occurrence of certain
insolvency proceedings involving Phoenix Footwear or its
subsidiaries.

As of November 11, 2009, the Company had $2.6 million outstanding
under the Credit Agreement with remaining availability of
$257,000.  The Company is engaged in discussions with several
different financing sources to provide the Company with proceeds
to repay in full its revolving line of credit debt on or before
November 30, 2009.  There is no assurance, however, that the
Company will be able to obtain such a facility on acceptable terms
and covenants or when and if the Company will be able to repay its
current facility in full.  If the Company is unable to complete a
financing transaction prior to November 30, 2009, the Company
plans to seek a fourth extension of the forbearance period so that
it may complete such a transaction.  There is no assurance that it
will be granted or the terms and conditions thereof. If such a
request is not granted, Wells Fargo may accelerate the Company's
indebtedness or foreclose on its assets.

                     3rd Quarter 2009 Results

Phoenix Footwear reported net earnings of $60,000 for the three
months ended October 3, 2009, from a net loss of $2,118,000 for
the three months ended September 27, 2008.  For the nine months
ended October 3, 2009, the Company posted wider net loss of
$8,017,000 from a net loss of $4,557,000 for the nine months ended
September 27, 2008.

The Company posted lower net sales of $5,453,000 for the three
months ended October 3, 2009, from $8,028,000 for the three-month
period ended September 27, 2008.  Net sales were $15,505,000 for
the nine months ended October 3, 2009, from $23,650,000 for the
nine months ended September 27, 2008.

At October 3, 2009, the Company had $13,242,000 in total assets,
including $207,000 in cash and cash equivalents, against
$9,811,000 in total liabilities.

Recently the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of
2009 was enacted.  The Act provides for an election for federal
taxpayers to increase the carry back period for an applicable net
operating loss to 3, 4 or 5 years.  Accordingly, the Company is
applying for a refund of approximately $2.0 million with the
Internal Revenue Service.  The Company expects to receive these
funds in the next 45 days from November 16, which will be applied
to increase the Company's liquidity and working capital.

                           Going Concern

In its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company said, "We have
incurred net losses for the last two fiscal years and the first
two quarters of fiscal 2009 and have been in continuing default on
our existing credit facility since September 29, 2008.  As a
result, . . . our independent registered public accounting firm
included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our fiscal
2008 financial statements related to the uncertainty of our
ability to continue as a going concern.  Unless Wells Fargo agrees
to extend the current forbearance period past November 30, 2009 or
we can complete a refinancing prior to that date, as of and after
November 30, 2009, Wells Fargo can demand repayment of its debt
and foreclose on our assets.  This raises substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern."

"Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations
(including continuing revenue and normal trade credit),
anticipated continued borrowing availability under the Wells Fargo
revolving line of credit and in the absence of a demand for
repayment by Wells Fargo and continuing extensions of the
forbearance period, we believe we have sufficient liquidity from
our cash flow from operations, and availability under our
revolving line of credit, to meet our debt service requirements
and other projected cash needs for the next twelve months," the
Company added.

                      NYSE Amex Notice Update

On October 9, 2009, the Company received a notice from the NYSE
Amex LLC, indicating that as of its quarter ended July 4, 2009,
the Company failed to meet one of the continued listing standards
of the NYSE Amex.  Specifically, the letter stated that the
Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE
Amex Company Guide, with stockholders' equity of less than
$4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses
in three of its four most recent fiscal years.

On November 9, 2009, the Company submitted a plan to the NYSE Amex
addressing how it intends to regain compliance with this continued
listing standard by April 11, 2011.  The plan must be approved by
the NYSE Amex in order for the Company to maintain its listing.
The policy of the NYSE Amex is to make a determination within 45
days of a company's submission of a plan for compliance as to
whether the company has made reasonable demonstration in the plan
of an ability to regain compliance with the continued listing
standards within the requisite time frame.  The NYSE Amex may
either accept the plan, at which time the Company will be subject
to ongoing monitoring for compliance with the plan, or not accept
the plan and initiate delisting proceedings.  There can be no
assurance that the NYSE Amex will accept any plan that the Company
submits or that, if it does accept any such plan, the NYSE Amex
will not subsequently initiate delisting proceedings as a result
of the NYSE Amex's compliance monitoring with respect to that plan
or otherwise.

PINNACLE FOODS: Moody's Reviews 'B2' Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the Corporate Family Rating, debt
instrument ratings and Speculative Grade Liquidity assessments of
Pinnacle Foods Finance, LLC, under review for possible downgrade
following The announcement that Pinnacle's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Pinnacle Foods Group, has signed a definitive
agreement to acquire Birds Eye Foods, Inc., in a transaction
valued at $1.3 billion.

    Ratings and Assessments under Review for Possible Downgrade

Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC:

* Corporate Family Rating (Domestic) at B3;
* Senior Unsecured (Domestic) at Caa2;
* Senior Subordinate (Domestic) at Caa2;
* Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility (Domestic) at B2;
* Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2;
* LGD Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility (Domestic) LGD3 - 37%;
* LGD Senior Unsecured (Domestic) LGD5 - 85%;
* LGD Senior Subordinate (Domestic) LGD6 - 94%;
* Probability of Default Rating at B3.

Pinnacle expects to fund the transaction with a combination of
senior secured debt, senior unsecured bonds, and an equity
contribution from private equity firm, The Blackstone Group -- its
controlling shareholder.

Moody's review will focus on the near- and intermediate-term
affects of the transaction on debt protection measures, the
company's integration plan, details of anticipated cost synergies,
and overall strategic fit.  Moody's will also examine the
contemplated financing plan to assess the rating implications of
the transaction on individual security classes.

"While the equity contribution from Blackstone should moderate
financial leverage resulting from the deal, Moody's will need to
consider the business fundamentals of Pinnacle and Birds Eye on a
combined basis, and review deal terms in detail before Moody's can
determine whether any of the ratings will be affected," commented
Moody's Senior Analyst, Brian Weddington.

The last rating action on March 9, 2007, assigned the current
ratings for Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC upon its acquisition by The
Blackstone Group for approximately $2.2 billion in cash and the
assumption of certain obligations.

Finance LLC -- through its wholly-owned operating company,

READER'S DIGEST: Refutes U.S. Trustee's Criticism of Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
According to Law360, the Reader's Digest Association Inc. has
argued that it should be allowed to continue with its cash
management plan, despite a U.S. trustee's concerns that estate
money might be kept in institutions that are not authorized
depositories.

Reader's Digest received several objections in advance of the
Nov. 20 hearing for approval of the disclosure statement
explaining the reorganization plan.

The pension fund of the Debtor's U.K. arm says the Plan fails to
consider the Company's underfunded pension plans.  The U.S.
Trustee, an arm of the Justice Department, said there is
insufficient justification for releases in the Plan in favor of
third parties.

The confirmation hearing for approval of the plan is scheduled to
begin Jan. 13.  The Plan would reduce funded debt by 75% to $555
million while providing a 53% to 63% percent recovery to first-
lien lenders owed $1.65 billion by giving them a new $300 million
second-lien loan and all the new stock.  Holders of unsecured
trade claims will receive full recovery.  Other general unsecured
creditors are to receive a 2.5% to 2.7% recovery from a $3 million
cash reserved for their $115 million in claims.

ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT: Judge Accused of Corruption
-------------------------------------------------
Law360 reports that a Florida tycoon has hurled a raft of
corruption allegations at the judge presiding over the
receivership of Rothstein Rosenfeldt & Adler PA, the firm facing
bankruptcy amid a Ponzi scheme scandal.

Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler -- http://www.rra-law.com/-- is a law
firm.

Creditors of Florida law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler PA signed
a petition to send the law firm to bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla.
Case No. 09-34791).  The petitioners include Bonnie Barnett, who
says she lost $500,000 in legal settlement investments; Aran
Development, Inc., which said it lost $345,000 in investments; and
trade creditor Universal Legal, identified as a recruitment firm,
which said it is owed $7,800.  The creditors say they are owed
money invested in lawsuit settlements.


ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT: Money Disappeared from Accounts Last Month
----------------------------------------------------------------
The receiver for Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler PA told the Bankruptcy
Court that had hundreds of millions of dollars disappear from the
law firm's accounts last month, Carlyn Kolker and Susannah Nesmith
at Bloomberg reported.

"Huge amounts of money were moved and removed in October," retired
Miami Judge Herbert Stettin, who is acting as receiver for the
firm, said.  "It almost defies logic."

Rothstein Rosenfeldt's co-founder Scott Rothstein has been
suspected of running a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme.  U.S.
authorities claimed in a civil forfeiture lawsuit filed Nov. 9
that Mr. Rothstein, the firm's former chief executive officer,
sold investments in non-existent legal settlements.  Mr. Rothstein
hasn't been charged criminally by U.S. authorities, who continue
to investigate the case.

Creditors of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler PA signed a petition to
send the Florida law firm to bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No.
09-34791).  The petitioners include Bonnie Barnett, who says she
lost $500,000 in legal settlement investments; Aran Development,
Inc., which said it lost $345,000 in investments; and trade
creditor Universal Legal, identified as a recruitment firm, which
said it is owed $7,800.  The creditors say they are owed money
invested in lawsuit settlements.


SBARRO INC: Posts $24.5 Million Net Loss for Sept. 27 Quarter
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sbarro, Inc., announced results of operations for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 27, 2009.

Revenues were $85.5 million for the quarter ended September 27,
2009 as compared to revenues of $91.9 million for the quarter
ended September 28, 2008.  The decrease in revenues was due to a
5.2% decrease in Company-owned comparable-unit sales and lost
sales from stores strategically closed, partially offset by sales
generated by new Company-owned stores opened in 2009 and 2008.
The decrease in comparable-unit sales primarily reflects continued
reduced mall traffic throughout the United States as a result of
the current economic environment.  Domestic franchise comparable-
unit sales declined 7.1% while international franchise comparable-
unit sales declined 27.3%, primarily due to the strengthening of
the U.S. Dollar relative to virtually all foreign currencies.
Without consideration for foreign currency fluctuations, the
international franchise comparable-unit sales decline would have
been 13%.

EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the
Company's bank credit agreements, was $10.2 million for the
quarter ended September 27, 2009 as compared to $11.6 million for
the quarter ended September 28, 2008.  The decline was primarily
the result of the decline in Company-owned comparable-unit sales
and royalties on franchise sales, partially offset by cost savings
initiatives and reduced commodity costs during the quarter.

Net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. for the quarter ended
September 27, 2009 was $24.5 million as compared to a net loss of
$1.2 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2008.  Included
in the third quarter of 2009 net loss was goodwill and other
intangible asset impairments of $31.5 million offset by an income
tax benefit of $9.8 million.  Without consideration for impairment
charges and taxes, net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. increased
approximately $1.5 million.  This increase in net loss was
primarily the result of increased interest expense, a decrease in
comparable unit sales and royalties on franchise sales, partially
offset by cost savings initiatives and reduced commodity costs.

                 Year to Date Financial Results

Revenues were $245.2 million for the nine months ended September
27, 2009 as compared to revenues of $260.5 million for the nine
months ended September 28, 2008.  The decrease in revenues was
primarily due to a 5.0% decrease in Company-owned comparable-unit
sales and lost sales from stores strategically closed, offset by
revenues generated by new Company-owned stores opened in 2008 and
2009.  The decrease in comparable-unit sales primarily reflects
the reduced mall traffic throughout the United States as a result
of the current economic environment.  Domestic franchise
comparable-unit sales declined 5.4% while international franchise
comparable-unit sales declined 25.9%, primarily due to the
strengthening of the U.S. Dollar.  Without consideration for
foreign currency fluctuations, the international franchise
comparable-unit sales decline would have been 9%.

EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the
Company's bank credit agreements, was $27.7 million for the nine
months ended September 27, 2009, as compared to $25.4 million for
the nine months ended September 28, 2008. The improvement was
primarily the result of cost savings initiatives and reduced
commodity costs, partially offset by the decline in Company-owned
comparable-unit sales and royalties on franchise sales during the
first three quarters of 2009.

Net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. was $36.7 million for the
first nine months of 2009 as compared to a net loss of
$8.9 million for the first nine months of 2008. Included in the
first nine months of 2009 net loss was goodwill and other
intangible asset impairments of $31.5 million offset by an income
tax benefit of $9.5 million.  Without consideration for impairment
charges and taxes, the net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc.
increased approximately $900,000.  This increase in net loss was
primarily the result of a decrease in comparable unit sales and
royalties on franchise sales, partially offset by cost savings
initiatives and reduced commodity costs.

At September 27, 2009, the Company had $482.9 million in total
assets against total current liabilities of $32.2 million,
deferred rent of $6.04 million, deferred tax liability of
$77.3 million, due to former shareholders & other of
$12.2 million, accrued interest payable of $2.00 million and long-
term debt of $336.03 million.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as calculated in
accordance with the terms of the Company's bank credit agreements
for the nine months ended September 27, 2009.

Peter Beaudrault, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of
Sbarro, commented, "Our results for the first nine months of 2009
continue to be impacted by the current economic environment and
the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar; however, as a result of
aggressive cost controls and lower commodity costs, we were able
to produce higher year over year EBITDA for 2009 in line with
expectations as set forth in our amended credit agreement."

SEITEL INC: Files Form 10-Q for Q3 2009; Revenue Down 58%
---------------------------------------------------------
On November 16, 2009, Seitel, Inc., filed its quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009.

The Company reported a net loss of $28.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, compared with a net loss of
$17.2 million in the same period in 2008.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $19.5 million, a
decrease of $26.6 million, or 58%, from total revenue of
$46.1 million for the third quarter of 2008.  Revenue for the
third quarter of $19.5 million decreased by $26.6 million or 58%
as compared to the third quarter of 2008, primarily driven by a
$21.0 million or 64% decline in total resales from the Company's
seismic data library.

                          Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, the Company's unaudited consolidated
balance sheets showed $534.1 million in total assets,
$474.0 million in total liabilities, and $60.1 million in total
shareholders' equity.

                Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $11.0 million in
consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments,
including $113,000 of restricted cash.  Effective August 28, 2009,
the Company terminated its U.S. revolving credit facility.  The
Company says it is currently seeking to replace this facility with
another source of financing.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Olympic Seismic Ltd., has a
revolving credit facility which allows it to borrow up to
C$5.0 million, subject to an availability formula, by way of
prime-based loans or letters of credit.  Available borrowings
under the facility are equivalent to a maximum of C$5.0 million,
subject to a requirement that such borrowings may not exceed 75%
of good accounts receivable of Olympic, less prior-ranking claims,
if any, relating to inventory or accounts.  As of September 30,
2009, no amounts were outstanding on this revolving line of credit
and C$1.3 million was available on the line of credit.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $20.0 million and
$59.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and
2008, respectively.  Operating cash flows for 2009 decreased from
2008 primarily due to decreased collections from cash resales in
the 2009 period as a result of the slowdown in activity.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $50.7 million and
$66.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and
2008, respectively.  Cash expenditures for seismic data were
$50.4 million and $65.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The decrease in cash
invested in seismic data for 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily
due to a decrease in cash paid for new data acquisition projects
in both the U.S. and Canada and a reduction in payments on cash
purchases.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $126,000 and $76,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and 2008,
respectively.

to Caa3 (LGD 4, 54%) from B3 (LGD 4, 56%), and its Speculative
Liquidity Rating to SGL-4 from SGL-3.  The rating outlook is
negative.  The downgrade reflects the increased pressure on
Seitel's liquidity and earnings.


SHILOH INDUSTRIES: Enters Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shiloh Industries, Inc., disclosed the completion of the Fourth
Amendment Agreement of the Company's Credit and Security Agreement
with a syndication of lenders led by PNC Bank National
Association, successor to National City Bank, as co-lead arranger,
sole book runner and administrative agent, and The Privatebank and
Trust Company, as co-lead arranger and syndication agent. The
Fourth Amendment provides the Company with a currently available
revolving line of credit of $80,000,000 subject to a borrowing
formula requirement.  The line of credit matures in July 2012.

The Fourth Amendment addresses financial covenant issues that the
Company was facing as a result of the current business conditions
affecting the automotive industry in North America. Specifically,
the Fourth Amendment waives compliance with certain  financial
covenants for the period from July 31, 2009 to October 31, 2009.
Thereafter, the financial covenants are established at levels that
are expected to be achievable in the near term and gradually
adjust to levels that are expected to be attainable through the
term of the agreement.  The Company must also maintain agreed to
levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization as defined in the amendment for the three months
ending at each month end date from October 31, 2009 to July 31,
2010.

Theodore K. Zampetis, President and CEO of Shiloh, stated, "Our
focus on lowering the cost structure and generating positive cash
flow enabled us to execute this Amendment.  The financial
flexibility and liquidity provided by the Amendment will support
operating activities during the next several years."

Headquartered in Valley City, Ohio, Shiloh Industries is a leading

where it had been placed on April 30, 2009.   The outlook is
negative.

SMURFIT-STONE: Increases Prices of Latin America Exports
--------------------------------------------------------
Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation will increase the prices of
its containerboard exports to Latin America by $50 per ton,
effective December 1, 2009, Lesprom.com reports.

Mark Wilde, a senior analyst at Deutsche Bank covering the Paper
and Forest Products sector, told Lesprom that he would not be
surprised if the overseas price hike will be followed by a
domestic price initiative within the next few months because it
has been common for producers to first announce price moves in
the export market before making domestic price announcements.

SPANISH BROADCASTING: S&P Gives Pos. Outlook; Keeps 'CCC+' Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
Miami, Florida-based Spanish Broadcasting System Inc. to positive
from negative.

S&P have affirmed its existing ratings on the company, including
the 'CCC+' corporate credit rating.

"The outlook revision reflects S&P's expectation that SBS will
have adequate liquidity over the intermediate term to meet debt
maturities, potential swap settlements, and operating needs,"
explained Standard & Poor's credit analyst Michael Altberg.

Cash balances stood at $45.8 million as of Sept. 30, 2009, up from
$32.9 million at the 2008 year-end, due to positive discretionary
cash flow generation.  As of the same date, 2010 debt maturities
(including potential swap liabilities) totaled roughly $26.5
million.

The rating reflects:

* SBS's very high debt leverage and low interest coverage metrics,

* Continued cyclical pressure on radio and TV revenue,

* S&P's concerns about ongoing secular trends in radio,

* Competition from much larger rivals,

* Somewhat below-average EBITDA margins for a broadcaster, and

* Elevated financial risk from losses at the Mega TV start-up TV
  business.

Positive factors that do not offset these negatives include the
radio and TV broadcasting business' potential to generate good
cash flow, the company's cost management efforts that could
facilitate a rebound in the EBITDA margin in a recovery, and
favorable Spanish-language population and advertising trends.

SBS owns and/or operates 21 radio stations in markets that reach
roughly 48% of the U.S. Hispanic population.  In addition, the
company owns and operates two TV stations and has various
affiliation agreements under its Mega TV brand.  The company has
significant revenue concentration in three markets -- New York,
Los Angeles, and Miami -- which account for a large majority of
revenue.


STALLION OILFIELD: To Present Plan for Confirmation Jan. 12
-----------------------------------------------------------
Stallion Oilfield Services Ltd. and its debtor-affiliates obtained
approval of the disclosure statement explaining their pre-
negotiated Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

The Debtors will present their plan for confirmation January 12.
Objections to the Plan are due December 29.

Impaired creditors entitled to vote on the Plan must send their
ballots by December 29.  The Debtors will send the solicitation
packages by November 25.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan is based on a
consensual deal with the Debtors' key stakeholders and
contemplates a significant de-leveraging of the Debtors' balance
sheets and a full recovery for holders of allowed general
unsecured claims, confirmation of the plan is expected to occur
over a relatively short timeframe.

The Debtors said that they agreed with the lenders and the holders
of the Stallion equity interests with respect to a consensual
restructuring on the terms set forth in the restructuring term
sheet, and formalized by the restructuring and lock-up agreement
dated Oct. 17, 2009.  The Debtors related that they received an
executed restructuring and lock-up agreement from holders of more
than:

   -- 90% of the senior secured claims;

   -- 74% of the bridge loan claims;

   -- 88% of the notes claims; and

   -- 68% of the Stallion equity interests, which ensures that the
      plan has sufficient support to satisfy the confirmation
      requirements under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Under the plan, among other things, all holders of senior secured
claims, totaling $245.9 million, will receive either:

   -- its pro rata share of the (i) senior secured paydown of $25
      million cash and  (ii) $220.9 million in first priority
      senior secured debt pursuant to the amended and restated
      senior secured credit agreement; or

   -- payment in full, in cash in the event that the Reorganized
      Debtors enter into new financing.

Holders of unsecured debt comprising bridge loans aggregating
$259.3 million and unsecured notes aggregating $283.9 million will
receive 98% of the stock of reorganized Stallion Oilfield.

Holders of general unsecured claims, that are not due and payable
by the plan's effective date, will receive payment in full in cash
of the unpaid portion of their allowed claim.

Holders of interests in Stallion Oilfied Holdings GP, LLC, will
receive 0.0002% of the new common stock, and warrants to purchase
additional stock.  Holders of interest in Stallion Oilfield
Holdings, Ltd., will receive 1.9998% of the new common stock, plus
warrants to purchase additional stock.

Official creditors' committees have the right to employ legal and
accounting professionals and financial advisors, at the Debtor's
expense.  They may investigate the Debtor's business and financial
affairs.  Importantly, official committees serve as fiduciaries to
the general population of creditors they represent.  Those
committees will also Attempt to negotiate the terms of a
consensual Chapter 11 plan -- almost always subject to the terms
of strict confidentiality agreements with the Debtors and other
core parties-in-interest.  If negotiations break down, the
Committee may ask the Bankruptcy Court to replace management with
an independent trustee.  If the Committee concludes reorganization
of the Debtor is impossible, the Committee will urge the
Bankruptcy Court to convert the Chapter 11 cases to a liquidation
proceeding.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 10 will convene a meeting of Standard

All creditors are invited, but not required, to attend. This
Meeting of Creditors offers the one opportunity in a bankruptcy

Debtor under oath about the company's financial affairs and
operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

STANDARD FORWARDING: Gets Interim Nod for Cash Collateral Use
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Forwarding Co., Inc., sought and obtained the permission
of the Hon. Thomas L. Perkins o the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of Illinois to use on an interim basis the cash
collateral securing their obligation to their prepetition lenders.

Howard L. Adelman, Esq., et al. at Foley & Lardner LLP Adelman &
Gettleman, Ltd., said that without access to cash collateral, the
Debtor won't be able to continue operating its business.  The
Debtor needs the money to fund its Chapter 11 case and pay
suppliers and other parties.  Mr. Adelman said that the Debtor
obtained a $1 million DIP financing commitment from First Midwest
and also obtained the Court's approval of the DIP facility.

The Debtors will use the collateral pursuant to a budget, a copy
of which is available for free at:

The DIP facility will mature on December 31, 2009.  The DIP
facility will incur interest at Prime+ 3.5%.  In the event of
default, the Debtors will pay an additional 3.0% default interest.

The DIP facility will be secured by a valid first priority
perfected security interest in all assets of the Debtor.

The DIP lien is subject to a carve-out for U.S. Trustee and Clerk
of Court fees: up to $75,000 in fees payable to professional
employed in the Debtors' case; $25,000 for professionals of the
Committee in pursuing actions challenging the DIP Lenders' lien,
plus UST Fees, less unapplied prepetition retainers.

The Debtor will provide to the DIP Lender, so as actually to be
received within five business days following the end of each week,
weekly line-by-line variance reports for the preceding weekly
period and on a cumulative basis from the Petition Date to the
report date, comparing actual cash receipts and disbursements to
amounts projected in the DIP budget and subsequent approved
budgets, in form and scope reasonably acceptable to the DIP
Lender.

Mr. Adelman said that the Debtor will also use the Cash Collateral
to provide additional liquidity.

In exchange for using the cash collateral, the Debtor grants the
DIP Lender (a) replacement liens and security interests and
mortgages in the DIP Collateral to the same extent, validity and
priority as the liens of the First Midwest on the Prepetition
Collateral; and (b) a superpriority administrative expense claim.

A final hearing will be held at 11:00 a.m. on December 9, 2009.

The prepetition lenders are represented by:

Michael J. Small, Esq., and Thomas C. Hardy, Esq., at Foley &
Lardner LLP.

STATION CASINOS: Judge Rejects Boyd's Examiner Plea
---------------------------------------------------
Steven Church at Bloomberg News reported that U.S. Bankruptcy
Judge Gregg Zive ruled that Station Casinos Inc. doesn't need an
examiner to investigate how the company is handling its
bankruptcy, the judge overseeing the case said, rejecting part of
the takeover strategy pursued by Boyd Gaming Corp.

According to Bloomberg, Judge Zive said that casino operator Boyd
and other advocates of an examiner appeared to really want a
trustee to take control of the company's bankruptcy case,
especially with regard to any potential sale.

Station Casinos has asked the Court to extend its exclusive period
to file a Chapter 11 plan until March 25.  Judge Zive delayed
until Dec. 11 a decision on a related request to end the exclusive
right of management to propose a plan.

Independent lenders of Station Casinos Inc. are objecting to an
extension of the company's exclusivity period, arguing the casino
operator is using exclusivity to block plan alternatives it does
not like.

Boyd Gaming said early this month it does not intend to block a
plan exclusivity extension for Station Casinos but it only seeks
to condition any extension on certain reforms and cooperation by
the Debtors in order to facilitate competition and allow
alternatives to any Debtor plan proposal, for evaluation by an
examiner and the unsecured creditors committee.

Boyd also said the examiner should work with relevant parties-in-
interest in order to evaluate the merits of potential competing
sale plans or 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363 purchase alternatives, that may
be superior to the Debtors' plan approach.

"Since the Debtors have shown little interest in developing
alternatives with potential buyers like Boyd, an examiner appears
to be the logical intermediary between the reluctant Debtors and
motivated buyers.  Such an examiner can obtain essential data
needed to help make competing bids concrete, despite the Debtors'
non-participation, and can develop and evaluate the alternatives,"
said Robert R. Kinas, Esq., at Snell & Wilmer LLP, in Las Vegas,
counsel to Boyd.

STATION CASINO: Insiders Drove Firm Into Bankruptcy, Union Says
---------------------------------------------------------------
In light of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Station Casinos, Inc.,
the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 is calling on creditors to
demand a significant equity investment by insiders, who have
amassed over $1 billion from the company.  According to an
analysis released by the union, the company could have averted
bankruptcy if not for the substantial debt it took on largely to
enrich a small group of company insiders.  The report examines how
this debt enabled insiders to extract over a $1 billion from the
company in recent years and that these insiders, not the global
recession, drove the company into bankruptcy.

Station Casinos is a major employer in the Las Vegas Valley, many
of whose over 13,000 employees are family members or friends of
Culinary Union workers.  The union's members, as well as the
larger community, are rightly concerned about the continuing
uncertainty over the future of the company and its impact on Las
Vegas.

"Station Casinos is a uniquely Las Vegas company that owes it
success to Las Vegas locals like our members," said D. Taylor,
Culinary Workers Union Local 226 Secretary-Treasurer.  "The
company has a special obligation to our community. Its owner-
managers have a responsibility not just to their Wall Street
lenders and investors, but to their employees, customers,
suppliers, and vendors right here in this community.  The
livelihoods of a lot of people and their families are closely tied
to this company's financial well-being.  Clearly, the owner-
managers and other insiders were more interested in extracting
wealth from the company for themselves than ensuring its and its
employees' future.  Now it's time for them to give back."

The report shows:

-- Company insiders, led by members of the Fertitta family, nearly
    tripled the company's long-term debt load between 2005 and the
    end of 2007 from $1.9 billion to $5.2 billion.

-- Of the new debt incurred during this period, more than two-
   thirds was used to buy back shares and to complete a
   management-led buyout, both of which significantly benefited a
   small group of insiders.

-- In 2006 and 2007, the company borrowed $990 million to buy back
   14 million in outstanding shares. This was the true cost of the
   company's stock compensation program over the previous years,
   which had been described by an independent proxy advisory firm
   as "the most expensive and liberal we have reviewed" and an
   "excessive transfer of wealth" to insiders.

-- In 2007, the company took on $1.6 billion of new debt to
   complete a management-lead buyout. More than $660 million -- or
   40% -- of the proceeds went to company insiders. The Fertitta
   family received $495 million alone as a result of the buyout.

-- If the company had forgone these two non-productive
   transactions -- the share buybacks and the buyout -- it would
   have $2.6 billion less debt, significantly less interest
   expense, and could have averted bankruptcy.

-- Since 2001, company insiders received more than $1 billion in
   executive compensation and from the buyout even as they led the
   company down the path toward bankruptcy. In contrast, other
   stakeholders in the company have had to suffer the consequences
   of their financial mismanagement. Not only is the company in
   Chapter 11 reorganization under the bankruptcy code, the
   company stopped matching employees' 401(k) contributions, more
   than doubled PPO health care premiums for rank-and-file
   workers, slashed shifts and cut hours for workers, and
   terminated hundreds of long-time employees by replacing coffee
   shops with subcontracted restaurants.

The Culinary Workers Union, Local 226, an affiliate of UNITE HERE,
is the largest local labor union in the gaming industry.  The
Culinary represents approximately 55,000 casino and resort workers
on the Las Vegas Strip, in downtown Las Vegas, and in downtown
Reno.

TARRAGON CORP: Reaches Deal with Kushner Cos. for Exit Financing
----------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Tangel at The Record reports that The Kushner Cos. has
reached an agreement to provide financing to Tarragon Corp. as the
latter emerges from Chapter 11 protection.

According to the report, Westminster Residential Acquisition LLC,
a Kushner subsidiary, would provide Tarragon with $4.51 million in
debtor-in-possession financing.

The Record relates that when Tarragon emerges from bankruptcy,
perhaps in January, Westminster would provide Tarragon with
$11.75 million in debt financing and another $250,000 in equity
financing.  In return, Westminster would take a majority stake in
the company, along with four of the company's seven board seats.

"We're lucky to find somebody that is willing to participate in a
reorganization process, as opposed to sitting by as a vulture and
simply buying assets at an auction," said Sirota, of the Cole
Schotz law firm in Hackensack.

                         The Chapter 11 Plan

As reported in the TCR on August 7, 2009, Tarragon Corporation
filed with the Bankruptcy Court a proposed joint chapter 11 plan
of reorganization and an explanatory disclosure statement, wherein
affiliated debt-holders are expected to get 60% of the common
stock in turn for the waiver of about $40 million of unsecured
claims.

Upon the plan's effective date, the Debtor will become reorganized
Tarragon, pursuant to which all of the existing shares of Tarragon
Corporation, including those shares owned by the affiliated
debt holders, will be cancelled of record.  In exchange for HFZ
Capital Group LLC agreeing to purchase certain preferred stock of
Reorganized Tarragon having a cumulative preferred dividend of 8%
in an amount of up to $5 million of which at least $1 million will
be purchased on the effective date to provide initial working
capital to Reorganized Tarragon, HFZ will receive 40% of the new
issue common stock of Reorganized Tarragon.

Subsequent to the effective date, HFZ will purchase, at par, at
such time or times as required by the affiliated debt holders,
additional preferred stock of Reorganized Tarragon in an amount
equal to $5 million less the amount of the initial Preferred Stock
Purchase in increments of no less than $500,000.  The proceeds of
such sale shall be used to enable Reorganized Tarragon to pay,
when required, its future operating costs and expenses, including
liquidation expenses of Liquidation Assets and debt service, to
the extent that the income of Reorganized Tarragon, as reasonably
determined by the affiliated debt holders, is insufficient to pay
in a timely manner such costs and expenses.

In addition, the affiliated debt holders will receive 60% of the
common stock of Reorganized Tarragon in exchange for the waiver of
approximately $40 million of affiliated unsecured claims held by
the affiliated debt holders.

TAYLOR-WHARTON: Gets Authority to Access Up to $20MM DIP Financing
------------------------------------------------------------------
Taylor-Wharton International, LLC, has received Court approval of
its "first day" motions.  These motions allow the Company to
continue normal business operations without interruption to the
Company's customers, suppliers and employees.

The Hon. Brendan L. Shannon of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware authorized the Company to access up to $20
million in debtor-in-possession financing, provided by a group of
lenders led by GE Capital.  The Company will use the financing,
along with cash generated from operations, to implement a
restructuring plan and pay normal operating expenses, including
employee wages and payments to suppliers.

The Company will seek final Court approval of the financing at a
hearing on January 6, 2010.

Judge Shannon authorized the Company to pay suppliers on normal
terms for goods and services provided after the November 18, 2009
Chapter 11 filing date.  The Company also received court authority
to make payments to "critical" vendors and to certain suppliers
for goods provided within 20 days of the filing date under Section
503(b)(9) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  Additionally, the Company
won authority to continue honoring all current customer programs.

"The relief granted . . . ensures that Taylor-Wharton
International can continue to provide our customers with the
superior, high quality products they have come to expect from us
in a timely manner.  The relief will also allow our accounts
payable to release payments to our vendors to ensure the integrity
of our supply chain," said Bill Corbin, chairman and chief
executive officer of TWI.  "The Company will continue business as
usual as we implement a restructuring plan designed to strengthen
TWI's capital structure."

                       The Chapter 11 Plan

The Company intends to consummate its restructuring through a
pre-arranged plan of reorganization, which has been filed with the
Court.  Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that agreement on
the Plan was reached with holders of all of the $73.9 million in
senior secured debt and the $73.3 million senior subordinated
mezzanine notes.  General Electric Capital Corp. is agent for the
senior secured debt.

Mr. Rochelle says the Plan will give the senior secured creditors
a new $20 million revolving credit loan and a $30 million term
loan. The mezzanine debt will be canceled, as will $55 million in
subordinated pay-in-kind notes.  Trade creditors owed $13.5
million and other unsecured creditors are to be paid in full.
Holders of the PIK debt will receive 7% of the new equity while
the remainder goes to investors who will buy $12 million in a new
pay-in-kind obligation. The mezzanine lenders may purchase half of
the new $12 million PIK debt.

The reorganization is to be supported with a $20 million secured
credit from a group of lenders led by GECC.

TELTRONICS INC: Sept. 30 Balance Sheet Upside-Down by $4,551,000

TENNECO INC: Fitch Upgrades Issuer Default Rating to 'B'
--------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded Tenneco Inc.'s Issuer Default Rating
and outstanding debt:

  -- IDR upgraded to 'B' from 'B-';

  -- Senior secured revolving credit facility to 'BB/RR1' from
     'B+/RR2';

  -- Senior secured term loan to 'BB/RR1' from 'B+/RR2';

  -- Senior secured tranche B-1 letter of credit/revolving loan
     facility to 'BB/RR1' from 'B+/RR2';

  -- Senior secured second lien notes to 'CCC/RR6' from 'CC/RR6';

  -- Senior unsecured notes to 'CCC/RR6' from 'CC/RR6';

  -- Subordinated notes to 'CCC/RR6' from 'CC/RR6'.

The Rating Outlook remains Stable.  Approximately $1.4 billion of
debt outstanding is covered by these ratings.

The rating upgrade is supported by improvements in EBITDA and cash
flow which are the result of successful cost cutting efforts and
an improved automotive production environment.  One of TEN's key
customers is General Motors and despite the bankruptcy filing by
the Detroit automaker and the extended summer production shutdown,
TEN has managed to improve its recent results.  In 2008, GM
accounted for 20% of TEN's sales.  The rating is further supported
by expectations for lower borrowings as a result of the company's
equity offering of 12 million common shares for net proceeds of
$187 million; there is also a green shoe for an additional
1.8 million common shares.  Net proceeds are earmarked for the
reduction of borrowings on the secured revolver and general
corporate purposes.

While the company's sales are globally diversified, 44% of its
sales in the first nine months of 2009 were from Europe, South
America and India.  Fitch's preliminary forecast is that European
industry volumes will decline approximately 6%-10% next year.
This credit concern is mitigated by TEN's somewhat diverse sales
mix.  Sales to the original equipment manufacturers accounted for
76% of sales and aftermarket sales contributed 24% to the top line
in the first nine months of the year.  Furthermore, Fitch believes
that material new wins, particularly in the non-automotive area,
should provide solid top-line growth over the next several years
in the event of continued weakness in automotive production.

With stronger earnings, the outlook for recovery ratings has
improved.  The RRs on the senior secured facilities (revolving
credit facility, Term Loan A, and Tranche B1) have been upgraded
one notch to 'RR1' which implies a recovery in the range of 91%-
100%.  The second lien notes, senior unsecured and subordinated
notes RRs remain 'RR6' which reflects a recovery in the range of
0%-10%.  The RRs reflect Fitch's recovery expectations under a
scenario in which distressed enterprise value is allocated to the
various debt classes.

Fitch expects that TEN's free cash flow should be positive in 2009
given the company's cash preservation initiatives and efforts made
by the company to reduce headcount and expenses.  Leverage at the
end of the recent quarter was 5.3 times, a significant rise from
3.8x at the end of 2008.  However, Fitch expects to see reduced
revolver borrowings, positive free cash flow and improvement in
EBITDA which should result in deleveraging over the next few
quarters.

Liquidity at the end of third quarter 2009 was $527 million which
consisted of $137 million of cash on the balance sheet and
$390 million on the revolving credit facility.  In addition, the
company has a U.S. accounts receivable program through February
2010 which can be used up to $100 million.  TEN also has European
accounts receivable programs, some of which can be canceled with
30 days notice.

Importantly, TEN does not have any significant debt maturities
until 2012 when $700 million of the $830 million of the credit
facility expires.  TEN has a $249 million underfunded pension
plan, which due to losses in the equity and fixed income markets
in 2008, is likely to require incremental contributions over the
near term.  At the end of 2008, the pension plan's funding status
was 59%.

Over the longer term, TEN's position in the emissions segment
positions the company well to expand its customer base and
volumes.  Also over a longer time horizon, product demand should
increase given plans for tighter emission standards and expected
growth in revenues and profits should come from TEN's migration to
more technological, value-added products should also support
margins.

TLC VISION: Forbearance Expires; Continues Talk with Lenders
------------------------------------------------------------
TLCVision Corporation reports that the limited waiver and
forbearance which had been granted to the Company by its senior
lenders under the Company's secured credit facility, expired in
accordance with its terms on November 15, 2009.

The Company is in active discussions with its lenders to ensure
that it has sufficient liquidity in excess of what is available
under its Credit Facility, although there is no assurance that the
Company can obtain additional liquidity on commercially reasonable
terms, if at all.  If the Company is unable to obtain or sustain
the liquidity required to operate its business the Company may
need to seek to modify the terms of its debts or to reorganize its
capital structure.  There can be no assurances that the lenders
will grant such restructuring, waivers or amendments on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  If the Company is
unable to obtain or sustain the liquidity required to operate its
business, the Company may need to seek to modify the terms of its
debts through court reorganization proceedings to allow it, among
other things, to reorganize its capital structure.

The Company is also in discussions with certain third parties
regarding the sale of certain non-core assets.

The credit agreement, dated June 21, 2007, as amended, provides
for an $85 million term loan and a $25 million revolving credit
line.  As of October 31, 2009, the principal amount outstanding
under the credit facility was approximately $100.1 million.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company failed to make various
mandatory payments under its Credit Agreement and related
amendments.  The payments included interest on the term and
revolving credit advances of $2.8 million, principal payments on
term advances of $400,000 and $1.4 million of other mandatory
payments.

Given the payment defaults, and that it is unlikely that the
Company will be in compliance with the covenants currently in the
Credit Facility for the balance of 2009 beyond the current waiver
period unless amended, all term borrowings aggregating
$76.7 million under the Credit Facility have been recorded as
current liabilities as of September 30, 2009, and December 31,
2008.  Accordingly, at September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008,
the Company has working capital deficiencies of approximately
$103.6 million and $99.5 million, respectively.

In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the September 30, 2009
quarter, the Company said it borrowed an additional $17.4 million
under the revolving portion of its Credit Facility during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, which reduced the open
availability under the Credit Facility to approximately $600,000
at September 30, 2009.  The outstanding balance of $23.4 million
under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility is also
recorded as a current liability as of September 30, 2009.

The Company will likely continue to incur operating losses in 2009
and its liquidity will likely remain constrained such that it may
not be sufficient to meet the Company's cash operating needs in
this period of economic uncertainty.

The Company's independent registered public accounting firm's
report issued in the December 31, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K
included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of
conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, including significant
losses, limited access to additional liquidity and compliance with
certain financial covenants.

        33%, as same-store majority-owned center procedures

     -- Doctor Services revenue of $70.3 million decreased by 4%,
        reflecting weakness in the refractive access business
        partially offset by growth in the cataract business.

     -- Eye Care revenue of $24.1 million increased 8% as a result
        of increased franchises and revenue per franchisee.

     -- General and administrative and marketing costs declined by
        34% or $18.2 million below prior year due to cost
        reduction initiatives.

     -- Other expenses increased $15.3 million due to various

We continue to benefit from strong performances in our non-
refractive businesses as they continue to contribute positive

to see solid growth in both our cataract business and eye care

TRONOX INC: Objects to Equity Panel Retention of Eureka/Young
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tronox Inc. and its units complain that it is unclear what benefit
their estates will garner from Eureka Capital Partners, LLC, and
Young & Partners LLC as Financial Advisors' involvement in their
Chapter 11 cases in the coming months.

The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders in Tronox Inc.'s
cases is seeking to hire Eureka and Young & Partners as financial
advisors.

The Debtors disagree with the Official Committee of Equity
Security Holders' assertion that Eureka/Young's retention is
necessary for the Equity Committee to "provide a meaningful role
in developing a [standalone] plan or locating alternative
financing."  The Debtors believe that two additional financial
advisors could disrupt the current paths on which they are
traveling.

Jonathan S. Henes, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in New York,
asserts that Rothschild, Inc., with its intimate knowledge of the
Debtors' business operations and understanding of the Debtors'
financial needs, is the financial advisor best suited for the
task to be performed by financial advisors.  He says it is for
this reason that the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
supports Rothschild taking the lead in this process, with
Jefferies and Co., the financial advisor to the Creditors'
Committee, providing a supporting role to ensure that the
Creditors' Committee's views are represented.

For the reasons stated, the Debtors assert that their estates
should not bear the costs of Eureka/Young's involvement in the
Chapter 11 cases.  That involvement will necessarily consume
precious estate resources and unavoidably duplicate the efforts
of Rothschild and Jefferies, Mr. Henes asserts.

Because the Debtors believe that efforts to work constructively
towards reorganization will not be enhanced by the addition of
Eureka/Young, the Debtors ask the Court to deny the application.

                  Creditors' Committee's Objection

The Creditors' Committee argues that the Equity Committee has not
demonstrated any, let alone sufficient "undue prejudice" to
justify its proposed retention of two financial advisors; thus,
its Application should be denied.

On behalf of the Creditors' Committee, Brian S. Hermann, Esq., at
Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, in New York, points
to two reasons why the Eureka/Young retention application should
be denied:

  (1) The work to be done by Eureka/Young would clearly be
      duplicative of work already being done by Jefferies.
      Given that the Equity Committee already benefits from
      access to Jefferies and its work product, it is hard to
      see how the Equity Committee is at all prejudiced, let
      alone unduly so, without its own financial advisor.

  (2) Nothing has changed since the Court's May 6, 2009 order to
      warrant the Equity Committee's retention of an independent
      financial advisor.  Quite to the contrary, the most
      probative developments since the Equity Committee's
      appointment undermine the justifications advanced for the
      appointment of an equity committee.

           Equity Committee Addresses Responses

Eureka/Young, acting as a single advisory team to the Equity
Committee, has already added substantial and tangible value in
the Debtors' bankruptcy cases, the Equity Committee tells the
Court.

At the Equity Committee's direction, after only a few weeks of
work, Eureka/Young has provided the Debtors with a proposal and
term sheet for a replacement DIP facility from a nationally
recognized lender, Karen B. Dine, Esq., at Pillsbury Winthrop
Shaw Pittman LLP, in New York, relates.  This alternative
financing, she says, would provide the necessary operating
liquidity for the Debtors while eliminating the current DIP
facility's requirement that Tronox sell substantially all of its
operating assets on a burdensome and needlessly onerous timetable
during the worst merger and acquisition market since the Great
Depression.

Absent the burdens of a looming sale, parties-in-interest will
finally have the ability to meaningfully pursue a plan of
reorganization without the "time bomb" of the approaching auction
as mandated by the existing DIP, Ms. Dine asserts.

More work remains to be done, Ms. Dine tells the Court.  Beside
its efforts with respect to replacement financing, Eureka/Young
is, among other things, working to formulate the terms of a
confirmable plan of reorganization, including efforts to secure
exit financing for that plan, to preserve Tronox's profitable
operations and substantial inherent value for the benefit of all
stakeholders, while rightfully returning value to equity, she
relates.  No other financial advisor in the Debtors' bankruptcy
cases is committed to these efforts, she says.

Ms. Dine asserts that in light of the Debtors' decision not to
focus on reorganization and in light of the Creditors'
Committee's insistence that equity should receive no recovery,
the Equity Committee simply cannot rely on the other financial
advisors to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to Tronox's public
shareholders.

Retention of Eureka/Young is necessary for the Equity Committee
to participate meaningfully in these cases, including to pursue
the formulation and financing of a workable plan of
reorganization, Ms. Dine asserts.  Without an expert financial
advisor, the Equity Committee will be unduly prejudiced in these
efforts, and tangible opportunities to enhance and preserve value
will be lost, she further asserts.

For these reasons, the Equity Committee maintains that the Court
should approve the Eureka/Young Application.

The Equity Committee filed declarations by Stephen A. Greene, a
senior managing director of Eureka Capital Partners, LLC, and
Peter Young, president of Young & Partners LLC, in support of the
application.

The Equity Committee also filed, on October 28, 2009, an amended
proposed order grating the application.  The amended proposed
order, according to Ms. Dine, is responsive to the comments
provided by the U.S. Trustee.

                        Debtors' Surreply

The Debtors maintain that the Court should not approve
Eureka/Young's retention application contending that, in
contrast, Eureka/Young's involvement in the Debtors' cases over
the last two months has been disruptive to their efforts to
maximize value -- not additive.

In particular, Eureka/Young has engaged with potential financing
sources concerning a replacement DIP Facility independent of the
Debtors and without regard for impact of its actions on the sale,
the Debtors point out.  This effort, the Debtors complain, risks
destabilizing the dual path process by undermining their efforts
to ensure that reorganization efforts do not impair or endanger
interest in the sale.  The Debtors add that Eureka/Young has
distracted management at a critical juncture with diligence
inquiries that have already been asked by Jefferies, thus
duplicating effort at the expense of management's time and focus.

The Debtors assert that their decision to seek exit financing to
fund their emergence from Chapter 11 rather than replacement DIP
Financing is a sound exercise of their business judgment that is
entitled to deference.

           Equity Committee Files 2nd Proposed Order

The Equity Committee filed, on November 9, a second proposed
order incorporating the Court's directives and rulings during the
October 30 Hearing on the retention application.

At the October Hearing, the Court directed that Eureka/Young
would be retained on a limited basis for a two-month period,
subject to further extension as the Court deems necessary and
proper. The Second Amended Proposed Order reflects these
directions.  For the two-month period, the Second Amended
Proposed Order provides a starting date of October 10, 2009, so
that the end of the initial two-month period coincides with the
scheduled sale hearing.  The Equity Committee believes the date
is consistent with the Court's expressed concerns regarding
duplication of efforts and the proper scope of Eureka/Young's
involvement.

At the October Hearing, the Court suggested that the proper scope
for Eureka/Young's services would be limited to activities
unrelated to finding replacement DIP financing.

During the period of August 27, 2009, through October 10, 2009,
Eureka/Young divided their time between DIP replacement
activities and the other activities enumerated in the
parenthetical in the previous sentence.  Since October 10,
Eureka/Young has worked almost exclusively on matters unrelated
to DIP replacement.

Additionally, the Second Amended Proposed Order reflects changes
to Eureka/Young's compensation structure consistent with the
Court's instructions on October 30, 2009.  The Second Amended
Proposed Order provides that Eureka/Young may apply to the Court
at a later date for payment of fees incurred between August 27,
2009 and October 10, 2009 and for a $1,500,000 Transaction Fee as
set forth in Eureka/Young's Engagement Letter.  If the Court does
not approve the amounts as administrative expenses of the
estates, then those amounts will be paid to Eureka/Young first
out of any recovery to equity security holders in the Debtors'
bankruptcy cases.

The Debtors submitted a competing proposed order in the form that
the Debtors assert properly reflects the Court's instructions and
comments during the October Hearing.  The Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee believe the Second Amended Proposed Order
filed by the Equity Committee does not properly reflect the
Court's comments during the October Hearing.

TRUMP ENTERTAINMENT: Donald Trump Ends Pact with Mgt. and Beal
--------------------------------------------------------------
Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings, L.P., has disclosed in a
regulatory filing that on November 16, 2009, it received a letter
from Donald J. Trump terminating the Purchase Agreement dated
August 3, 2009, among the partnership, Trump Entertainment
Resorts, Inc., BNAC, Inc. and Mr. Trump, as amended by an
amendment dated October 5, 2009.

Pursuant to the letter received by the partnership, Mr. Trump has
exercised his rights to terminate the Purchase Agreement on
various grounds including as a result of the appointment of an
examiner in the Company's Chapter 11 cases and as a result of the
confirmation hearing in the bankruptcy cases being scheduled for
after January 15, 2010, which is the deadline in the Purchase
Agreement for confirmation of the Company's plan of
reorganization.

The Company has also been advised that Mr. Trump and Ivanka Trump
have entered into an agreement with the holders of 61% of the
partnership's outstanding 8.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2015
pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Trump and Ivanka Trump
have agreed to support the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for
the Company proposed by such noteholders and to permit the Company
to continue to use the Trump name in connection with the Company's
three casinos.  Pursuant to such agreement, Mr. Trump will receive
5% of the new common stock in the Company to be issued under such
noteholders' proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and
warrants to purchase up to an additional 5% of such common stock.

Neither Beal Bank, the Company's senior lender, nor the Company,
however, are parties to the settlement agreement among Mr. Trump
and such noteholders.  Beal Bank, directly and through its
affiliates, and Mr. Trump had agreed to provide the necessary
funding for the Company's Chapter 11 plan.  The Company said it is
considering its alternatives now that Mr. Trump has terminated the
Purchase Agreement.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on November 19, 2009,
management of Trump Entertainment Resorts filed a plan built upon
a sale of the Company to secured lender Beal Bank and shareholder
Donald Trump.  The ad hoc committee of noteholders filed a
competing plan because the management plan would wipe out their
claims.  The disclosure statements to the competing plans have
been approved by Bankruptcy Judge Judith H. Wizmur, setting up
parties for a confirmation hearing where the judge will decide
which plan is superior on January 20.

TRW AUTOMOTIVE: Fitch Upgrades Senior Unsec. Notes to 'B-/RR5'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings upgrades TRW Automotive's senior unsecured notes to
'B-/RR5' from 'CCC/RR6' and assigns a 'B-/RR5' rating to the
company's new senior unsecured eight-year notes.  Proceeds are
earmarked for the reduction of secured term loans and general
corporate purposes.

Fitch currently rates TRW:

TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.

  -- Issuer Default Rating 'B'.

TRW Automotive Inc.

  -- IDR 'B';
  -- Senior secured revolving credit facility 'BB/RR1';
  -- Senior secured term loan A facility 'BB/RR1';
  -- Senior secured term loan B facility 'BB/RR1'.

Fitch has taken these rating actions:

TRW Automotive Inc.

  -- Senior unsecured notes upgraded to 'B-/RR5' from 'CCC/RR6';

  -- Senior unsecured exchangeable notes upgraded to 'B-/RR5' from
     'CCC/RR6';

  -- New senior unsecured notes 'B-/RR5'.

The Rating Outlook remains Stable.  When accounting for planned
changes to the capital structure, approximately $2.5 billion of
debt is covered by the ratings.

The senior unsecured notes have been upgraded one notch to 'B-
/RR5', which implies a recovery in the range of 11%-30%.  The
upgrade is based on the reduction in secured term loans, as
discussed below, which improves the recovery prospects for the
unsecured debt.  Fitch continues to rate the senior secured
facilities (revolving credit facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan
B) 'RR1' which implies a recovery in the range of 91%-100%.
Recovery Ratings reflect Fitch's recovery expectations under a
scenario in which distressed enterprise value is allocated to the
various debt classes.

TRW plans to issue $250 million of senior unsecured notes due
2017; the notes will rank pari passu with the existing senior
unsecured debt.  The terms of the company's amended credit
facility state that 50% of net proceeds of unsecured debt up to
$300 million must be used for reducing the secured term loans.
This basket of debt will include the $250 million of unsecured
notes as well as the $258.75 million of exchangeable notes which
were issued two days ago.  TRW has indicated that the balance of
net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which
could include additional debt reduction.  The term loans were
first prepaid when the company used proceeds from an equity
offering in August.  It should be noted that the company plans to
amend and extend its existing bank facility.

In response to TRW's improved credit profile, Fitch recently
upgraded the company's IDR (to 'B' from 'B-') and other ratings.
For additional details please refer to Fitch's press release
discussing TRW's upgrade dated Nov. 16, 2009.

The ratings are supported by the company's strong liquidity, a
relatively diverse customer base, a global manufacturing presence,
the company's technology-driven products, including products for
vehicle safety which tend to offer better margins and
opportunities for growth, and a track record of successfully
restructuring before and during the global automotive slump.
Concerns include Fitch's forecast of negative free cash flow in
2009 and 2010, expected declines in European light vehicle sales
in 2010 and some risks to the global economic outlook.  TRW
generated 56% of its 2008 revenues in Europe, and Fitch
preliminarily projects European industry volumes will decline
approximately 6%-10% next year.

At the end of the third quarter of 2009, TRW had liquidity of
approximately $1.8 billion, which consisted of $474 million in
cash and approximately $1.3 billion available on its revolver.
Fitch believes that TRW's access to the revolver is further
solidified with the reduction of secured debt.  The company is
required to remain in compliance with a net senior secured
leverage ratio through the third quarter of 2011.  Prior to TRW's
recent actions to lower secured debt, Fitch believed that the
company would be able to maintain compliance with the amended
ratios, which came into effect in June 2009.  Now with less
secured debt, Fitch sees additional cushion for the net secured
leverage ratios.

TRW has no near-term debt maturities and the revolver extends
through 2012.  With the issuance of the new unsecured notes,
including the new notes and the exchangeable notes, TRW will
reduce the amounts due for the term loans maturing in 2013 and
2014.  Fitch calculates leverage (total debt to operating EBITDA)
for the 12 months ending Oct. 3, 2009, to be 4.0 times which is
significantly better than end of the prior quarter when it peaked
at 5.7x.  Fitch projects that the company should delever to
approximately 3.5x or better over the next few quarters.

At the third quarter of 2009, Blackstone owned approximately 39%
of TRW.


TUMBLEWEED INC: Plan Provides for Asset Transfer to TWIN Mgt.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Tumbleweed, Inc., and Custom Food Solutions LLC filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Western District of California a
Disclosure Statement with respect to their Chapter 11 Plan.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan contemplates the
conveyance of the assets of the Debtors to Tumbleweed, LLC, a
Kentucky limited liability company, which will be wholly-owned by
a Kentucky limited liability company known as TWIN Management,
LLC.  The Plan is premised upon TWIN merging with the acquiring
company.  On the effective date, or as soon as practical, the
assets of Tumbleweed and CFS will be conveyed and assigned to the
acquiring company, which will assume the obligations under the
GEFF Restructure Documents, the Fifth Third Restructure Documents
and the other obligations contemplated by the Plan.  The Parent
Company will be owned by the controlling members of TWIN - Matt
Higgins, Mike Higgins and David Roth and his affiliates, who will
be compensated as: Matt Higgins will receive an annual base salary
of $265,000, plus standard executive benefits including use of a
company car, cellular phone service, health insurance and
applicable bonuses; Mike Higgins will receive an annual base
salary of $235,000, plus standard executive benefits including use
of a company car, cellular phone service, health insurance and
applicable bonuses; and David Roth and his affiliates will not
receive any compensation on account of their role in the parent
company.  After all distributions, Tumbleweed and CFS will be
dissolved pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The Plan is the product of negotiations among the Debtors, GEFF,
Fifth Third, TW Indiana, LLC and other parties-in-interest.

Under the Plan, claims against and interests in the Debtors are
divided into different classes based on their similarity.  If the
Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and consummated, on the
effective date or soon thereafter, the Debtors will make
distributions as provided in the Plan.  The Plan also provides for
distribution to certain unclassified claims as administrative
claims.

              Classification and Treatment of Claims

Class 1 - Administrative Claims - holders of a particular allowed
administrative claim, allowed administrative claims will be paid
in full in cash soon as practicable after the effective date.

Class 2 - GEFF Secured Claims - will be satisfied by the execution
and delivery of the GEFF Restructure Documents.

Class 3 - Fifth Third Secured Claims - will be satisfied by the
execution and delivery of the Fifth Third Restructure Documents.

Class 4 - Winmark Capital Corporation Secured Claim - will be
Reinstated by the Debtors' and acquiring company's continued
payment of obligations related thereto pursuant to the parties'
normal business terms, and assumed by the acquiring company on the
effective date to the extent that any obligations thereunder
remain outstanding.

Class 5 - General Unsecured Claims - the Debtors will, on the
later of (a) the effective date or (b) the date a claim becomes an
allowed class 5 claim, distribute to the holder of an allowed
class 5 claim the pro rata share of the class 5 distributable cash
to be distributed pursuant to the Plan in full satisfaction,
settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for the
general unsecured claim.  The Debtors estimate that the total
amount of Claims participating in Class 5 will be $520,434.  The
Debtors estimate that upon entry of the confirmation order the
cash value of the class 5 distributable cash will be $52,000.

Class 6 - Unsecured Rejection Claims - the Debtors will, on the
later of (a) the effective date or (b) the date a Claim becomes an
allowed class 6 claim, distribute to the holder of an allowed
class 6 claim the pro rata share of the class 6 distributable cash
to be distributed pursuant to the Plan in full satisfaction,
settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for the
Unsecured Rejection Claim.  The Debtors estimate that the total
amount of claims participating in Class 6 will be $487,727.  The
Debtors estimate that upon entry of the confirmation order the
cash value of the class 6 distributable cash will be $24,500.

Class 7 - Holders of Contested Claims will not receive or retain
any property under the Plan unless and until their claims are
proven, liquidated and allowed.  Upon a class 7 member's claim
becoming an allowed claim, it will receive treatment similar to
that of a class 5 claim.  For purposes of voting on the Plan,
holders of class 7 claims will be entitled to vote as members of
class 5; each holder being entitled to a single vote, and a Claim
value of $1.00.

Class 8 - Holders of Interests in Tumbleweed or CFS will not
receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of the
Interests.  On the effective date, all of the Tumbleweed stock
Interests and CFS membership Interests will be deemed cancelled
and extinguished.

Class 9 - consists of those claims in which the holder has either
obtained payment on account thereof during the course of the
Chapter 11 cases or agreed to have its claim satisfied by third-
party insurers of the Debtor.  Members of Class 9 will not receive
or retain any property under the Plan on account of the Claims.

If the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtors, GEFF, Fifth Third or
any other party in interest in these Chapter 11 Cases could, after
the expiration of the Debtors' exclusive period, propose a
different plan.

The Plan also  contemplates lump sum distributions to holders of
allowed claims, subject to modification by agreement prior to the
effective date between the Debtors and the holder of an allowed
claim.  In the event that the holder of an unsecured claim
becomes a holder of an allowed unsecured claim after the effective
date, the holder will receive its distribution within 30 days of
the date on which the claim became an allowed unsecured claim.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, the Debtors or any
disbursing agent will not be required to make distributions or
payments of fractions of dollars.  Whenever any payment of a
fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for,
the actual payment may reflect a rounding of the fraction to the
nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or less being
rounded down.  Further, neither the Debtors nor any disbursing
agent will be required to distribute cash to the holder of an
allowed claim in an impaired class if the aggregate amount of cash
to be distributed on account of the claim is less than $5.00.

UNITED RENTALS: Fitch Assigns 'B+' Rating on Senior Unsec. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'B+' rating to United Rentals (North
America), Inc.'s 9.25% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2019.
Proceeds from the new notes are expected to be used to repurchase
or repay senior debt, repay borrowings under the ABL facility and
for general corporate purposes.

In addition, Fitch has also assigned Recovery Ratings to the
company's senior unsecured and subordinated debt.  The RR on the
senior unsecured debt is 'RR1' based on the strong collateral
coverage for these instruments.  'RR1' implies recovery between
90%-100%.  The RR on subordinated debt is 'RR3', which implies a
recovery between 51%-70%.

Fitch views the company's ability to access the capital markets to
raise $500 million of senior unsecured debt positively, provided
the proceeds are used to repay or repurchase existing senior debt.
In addition, the parent company, United Rentals Inc., has
concurrently issued $172.5 million of 4% convertible senior notes
due 2015, proceeds from which are expected to redeem a portion of
the 14% senior notes due 2014.

Due to continued decline in demand for rental equipment in
construction and industrial activity, URNA's financial profile
remains weak as operating performance and EBITDA remain pressured.
The company has continued to reduce the overall scale of
operations and size of the rental equipment portfolio to maintain
positive free cash flow.  Cost cutting measures have included
fleet transfers, as well as a reduction in branch network and
employee headcount.  In Fitch's view, the company has limited
amount of additional flexibility to further reduce near-term
equipment-related expenses should EBITDA decline further.
However, Fitch does not anticipate any near-term liquidity
pressure to arise as debt amortization payments are minimal and
the bulk of URNA's debt maturities extend beyond 2011.

Fitch currently rates URNA and URI:

United Rentals, Inc

  -- Long-term Issuer Default Rating 'B'.

United Rentals (North America), Inc.

  -- Long-term IDR 'B+';
  -- Senior secured credit facility 'BB-';
  -- Senior unsecured debt 'B+/RR1';
  -- Subordinated debt 'B/RR3'.

September 16, 2008, inclusive for violations of the federal
securities laws.

No class has yet been certified in the above action.  Until a

Class Period, and wish to move the court for appointment of lead
plaintiff, you must do so by January 11, 2010.  A lead plaintiff
is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members
in directing the litigation.  The lead plaintiff will be selected
from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in
the Company during the Class Period.  You do not need to seek
appointment as a lead plaintiff in order to share in any recovery.

To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this
time, and you may retain counsel of your choice.  If you wish to

The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period,
defendants failed to disclose material adverse facts about the
Company's true financial condition, business and prospects.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants failed to
disclose the following adverse facts, among others: (i) VeraSun
was, in part, a speculative commodities trader in addition to an
ethanol producer; (ii) VeraSun engaged in speculative and risky
derivative transactions that exposed the Company to substantial
financial and liquidity risk; (iii) VeraSun experienced
substantial loses on speculative derivative transactions causing
margin pressures on the Company; (iv) as a result of margin
pressures from bad speculative derivative transactions, the
Company sold out of a large short position in corn and incurred
substantial losses; (v) the Company entered into highly risky
"accumulator" contracts that obligated VeraSun to purchase
increasing amounts of corn after the price of corn fell in price
per bushel; and (vi) VeraSun's financial condition and especially
its liquidity were negatively impacted as a result of speculative
commodity transactions, ultimately causing the Company to file for
bankruptcy.

VERASUN ENERGY: Shalov Stone Files Class Action Against Ex-Execs
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shalov Stone Bonner & Rocco LLP disclosed that a class action
lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of the common stock
of VeraSun Energy Corp. between March 12, 2008, and September 16,
2008, inclusive.  The lawsuit is pending in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York against
certain of VeraSun's former executive officers. Because VeraSun
filed for bankruptcy protection on October 31, 2008, the Company
was not named as a defendant in this action.

According to the complaint, during the Class Period defendants
made false and misleading statements and/or concealed material
adverse facts concerning VeraSun's financial condition, business
and prospects.  Specifically, defendants failed to disclose, among
other things, its participation in speculative commodities trading
and other risky derivative transactions.  As a result, the
investing public was deceived regarding VeraSun's business,
operations and management, as well as the intrinsic value of
VeraSun's common stock.

On September 16, 2008, the Company announced that it began a
public offering of 20 million shares of its common stock to raise
money for "general corporate purposes."  On this news, the price
of the Company's common stock plummeted 70% on extremely heavy
trading volume.

Shalov Stone Bonner & Rocco LLP has extensive experience in the
prosecution of lawsuits on behalf of investors.

WABASH NATIONAL: Delays Registration Statement on 24.7MM Shares
---------------------------------------------------------------
Wabash National Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission Amendment No. 2 to Form S-1 Registration Statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, saying it has delayed the
effective date of the Registration Statement.

The Registration Statement and prospectus relate to an offer and
sale by the Company from time to time of up to 24,762,636 shares
of its common stock by Trailer Investments, LLC, or its donees,
pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interests.

Wabash National said the shares of common stock being sold are
originally issuable upon the exercise of a warrant held by Trailer
Investments as selling stockholder, or its donees, pledgees,
transferees or other successors-in-interests.  Wabash National
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these
shares, but will incur expenses in connection with the offering.

WATERBROOK PENINSULA: Plan Confirmation Hearing Set for Dec. 9
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. John K. Olson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Florida will consider the confirmation of
Waterbrook Peninsula, LLC's Chapter 11 Plan on Dec. 9, 2009, at
9:30 a.m. at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 299 East Broward Boulevard
Room 308, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  Objections, if any, are due
on Dec. 2, 2009.

The Court also approved these dates in relation to the Plan
confirmation:

   Deadline for Filing Ballots            Dec. 2, 2009
   (accepting or rejecting the Plan)
   Deadline for Fee Applications          Nov. 30, 2009
   Deadline for Objections to Claims      Nov. 30, 2009

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on April 16, 2009,
the Plan contemplates the sale of its Peninsula on the
Intracoastal, a residential development project located at Boynton
Beach, Florida, including personal property located on the
project, and related intangible property.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan divides creditors
into 6 Classes and Sub-Classes as:

   Class 1.1       Secured Claim of National City Bank. Impaired--
                   entitled to vote.

   Class 1.2       Secured Claims of Peninsula Lender, LLC.
                   Impaired--entitled to vote.

   Class 1.3       Other Secured Claims. Impaired--entitled to
                   vote.

   Class 2         Unsecured Claims. Impaired--entitled to vote.

   Class 3         Interests in Debtor. Impaired--Deemed to have
                   rejected the Plan.

The allowed secured claims in Class 1.1 will be completely and
fully satisfied by these treatment:

   a. NCB will be deemed to have $9,268,694 allowed secured claim
      secured by the acquired assets, not subject to objection,
      disallowance or subordination.  In full and complete
      satisfaction of the NCB's secured claim, and subject to the
      terms and conditions provided for in the Purchase and Sale
      Agreement, NCB will receive the acquired assets, free and
      clear of all encumbrances.

   b. NCB will be deemed to have $17,504,611 allowed general
      unsecured claim.

   c. If Class 1.2 and Class 2 vote to accept the Plan and Class
      1.2 does not file an objection to the Plan or objection to
      administrative claims, NCB will subordinate the right to
      receive any distribution under Class 2 of the Plan on
      account of the NCB Deficiency Claim to all the other Class 2
      claimants.

The allowed secured claims of Peninsula Lenders, LLC will be
completely and fully satisfied with the proceeds of the sale of
the acquired assets to the extent the net sale proceeds exceeds
the aggregate of the allowed secured claim of Class 1.1.

The allowed secured claims in Class 1.3 will be completely and
fully satisfied.

The allowed unsecured claims in Class 2 will be completely and
fully satisfied.

The allowed Class 3 Interests will receive no distribution under
the Plan and will retain no property whatsoever under the Plan.

Each impaired Class of Creditors with Claims against Debtor's
estate will be entitled to vote separately to accept or reject the
Plan.

                    Source of Funding for Plan

NCB will provide or make available to Debtor (i) proceeds of the
class action settlement regarding escrow deposits, on which NCB
possesses a valid, first position lien, (ii) proceeds from
Debtor's refund of the impact fees, but only to the extent Debtor
recovers the fees, and (iii) the creditor give-up.  NCB's
contribution, through its release of liens upon Debtor's cash
collateral, does not obligate NCB to fund any shortfall that
exists as a result of Debtor's inability to recover any portion of
the impact fee refund.

                      Sale/Transfer of Assets

On the effective date, the Debtor will transfer to NCB or its
designee all of the acquired assets, free and clear of all
encumbrances, except for the allowed claims of Wiper Corporation
as a holder of the Palm Beach County tax lien certificate and the
rights thereunder, in the amount of $148,267 and the Palm Beach
City Tax Collector which will remain a lien on the acquired
assets, by signing and delivering to the Asset Purchaser the
deeds, bills of sale, assignments and other conveyance documents
as required pursuant to the Conveyance Documents, the Plan and the
confirmation order.

The Debtor is also authorized to solicit acceptances of the Plan
prior to the approval of the Disclosure Statement and are entitled
to the protections provided to a person that solicits acceptances
of a plan in good faith.

                       Cramdown Provisions

The TCR reported that in the event that any impaired Class fails
to accept the Plan, Debtor will request the Court to confirm the
Plan in accordance with the "cramdown" provisions under Sec.
1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Under said provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, even if the Plan is not accepted by all of the
impaired classes, but is accepted by at least one impaired Class
of Claims, then the Plan may still be confirmed.

WESTERN REFINING: Bank Debt Trades at 5% Off in Secondary Market
----------------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Western Refining,
Inc., is a borrower traded in the secondary market at 95.42 cents-
on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, Nov. 20, 2009,
according to data compiled by Loan Pricing Corp. and reported in
The Wall Street Journal.  This represents an increase of 0.79
percentage points from the previous week, The Journal relates.
The debt matures on May 31, 2014.  The Company pays 600 basis
points above LIBOR to borrow under the loan facility and it
carries Moody's B3 rating and Standard & Poor's BB- rating.  The
debt is one of the biggest gainers and losers among 178 widely
quoted syndicated loans with five or more bids in secondary
trading in the week ended Nov. 20.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on June 5, 2009,
Standard & Poor's affirmed its ratings on Western Refining, Inc.,
including the 'B+' long- term corporate credit rating and 'BB-'
rating on the senior secured debt.  The outlook remains negative.
At the same time, S&P assigned a 'BB-' rating (one notch above the
corporate credit rating) to Western's proposed $600 million senior
secured notes due 2017.  The recovery rating on this debt is '2',
indicating expectations of a substantial recovery (70%-90%) in the
event of a default.  S&P assigned a 'B-' rating (two notches below
the corporate credit rating) on Western's proposed $100 million
convertible senior notes due 2014.  The recovery rating is '6',
indicating expectations of negligible (0%-10%) recovery of
principal in the event of default.

The TCR reported on June 4, 2009, that Moody's assigned a B3 (LGD
3; 43%) rating to Western Refining, Inc.'s pending $600 million
eight-year senior secured note offering and affirmed its existing
B3 Corporate Family Rating, B3 Probability of Default Rating, and
its B3 senior first secured Term Loan B (LGD 3; though moving the
point estimate to 43% from 46%).  The note ratings are assigned
under Moody's Loss Given Default methodology.  The SGL-3
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating was also affirmed.  The rating
outlook remains positive.

Western Refining, headquartered in El Paso, Texas, is an
independent refining and marketing company.  Western owns and
operates a 128,000 barrel per day low complexity light sweet
refinery at El Paso, Texas, a medium sized relatively complex
coking refinery at Yorktown, Virginia, and two very small light
sweet crude oil refineries in the Four Corners region of New
Mexico.


W.R. GRACE: 430 Asbestors Property Damage Claims Still Outstanding
------------------------------------------------------------------
In a Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 6, 2009, W.R. Grace & Co., disclosed that
as of October 30, 2009, following reclassification, withdrawal or
expungement of claims, approximately 430 asbestos-related property
damage claims subject to the Bar Date remain outstanding.

Grace, as of April 2001, was a defendant in 65,656 asbestos-
related lawsuits, 17 involving claims for property damage, and the
remainder involving 129,191 claims for personal injury.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, which is
overseeing Grace's Chapter 11 case, has approved settlement
agreements covering approximately 375 of the PD Claims for an
aggregate allowed amount of $109 million, Grace Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer A.E. Festa related.

Mr. Festa also disclosed that approximately 17,960 Zonolite Attic
Insulation PD Claims were filed prior to the October 31, 2008 U.S.
ZAI Claims Bar Date.  As of September 30, 2009, an additional
1,300 U.S. ZAI PD Claims were filed.

Approximately 13,100 Canadian ZAI PD Claims were filed prior to
the August 31, 2009 Canadian ZAI Claims Bar Date.  As of
September 30, 2009, an additional 800 Canadian ZAI PD Claims were
filed, Grace said.

Grace believes that a substantial number of additional PI Claims
would have been received between the Petition Date and
September 30, 2009 had the PI Claims not been stayed by the
Bankruptcy Court.

The total recorded asbestos-related liability as of September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, including pre and postpetition
settlements, was $1,700 million.

If the Joint Plan of Reorganization is not confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court, Grace expects to resume the estimation trial,
which was suspended in April 2008 due to the PI Settlement, in
order to determine the amount of its asbestos-related liabilities,
Mr. Festa noted.

                      Insurance Rights

Grace disclosed that as of September 30, 2009, there remains
approximately $923 million of excess coverage from 53 presently
solvent insurers.  Grace estimates that:

  -- eligible claims would have to exceed $4 billion to access
     total coverage; and

  -- assuming the resolution value of asbestos-related claims
     is equal to the recorded liability of $1,700 million Grace
     is entitled to approximately $500 million of insurance
     recovery.

However, Mr. Festa said the ultimate amount of insurance recovered
on the Claims will depend on a number (a) the nature of the PI
Claim, PD Claim or ZAI PD Claim, (b) the relevant exposure years,
(c) the timing of payment, (d) the solvency of insurers, and (e)
the legal status of policy rights.  Accordingly, Grace's estimate
of insurance recovery may differ materially from actual amounts
received by Grace, or, if the Joint Plan is confirmed and becomes
effective, the PI Trust.

Grace disclosed that it had 72,236,518 shares of common stock
outstanding as of October 31, 2009.

acquired "in better days: before the Blixseths' bitter divorce,
before their Yellowstone Mountain Club filed for bankruptcy and
was sold to the highest bidder, before Edra Blixseth herself filed
for bankruptcy and was ordered to sell her assets to pay off her
nearly $160 million in debts."

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on September 24,
2009, Marc S. Kirschner, on behalf of a trust that took over the
remaining assets and claims of Yellowstone Mountain Club following
its sale to CrossHarbor Capital Partners, LLC, has sent BLX Group
Inc. to bankruptcy.

In an involuntary Chapter 11 petition it signed together with two
other creditors and filed Sept. 21, Mr. Kirschner, the trustee of
the Yellowstone Club Liquidating Trust, said the trust is owed
$190,000,000 on account of a promissory note.

Yellowstone Club emerged from bankruptcy after obtaining
confirmation of a plan backed by CrossHarbor Capital Partners and
existing members of the club.  CrossHarbor won an auction for
Yellowstone with its offer to acquire ownership of the reorganized
club for $35 million in cash and provide a note worth $80 million
to creditors.

BLX Group, formerly known as Blixseth Group, Inc., was the primary
shareholder of Yellowstone Club before its collapse.  BLX was
owned by the Blixseths.  Tim Blixseth relinquished control of
Yellowstone Club to his ex-wife Edra in a divorce settlement that
was finalized in August 2008.

According to a document filed in the Chapter 11 case of
Yellowstone Mountain Club, Credit Suisse made loans to Yellowstone
aggregating $375 million that ended up in the pockets of the
Blixseths.

In the Chapter 11 case, the committee of unsecured creditors of
Yellowstone Mountain Club sued BLX Group to recover transfers made
by YMC.  According to the suit, after obtaining loans from Credit
Suisse, proceeds from the loans were withdrawn by the Blixseths
for transactions unrelated to YMC.

In respect of the funds disbursed, BGI executed an unsecured
demand note dated as of September 30, 2005, in favor of YMC in the
amount of $208,831,158.  BGI executed another unsecured demand
note in favor of Yellowstone Development, LLC in the amount of
$55,798,797.  BGI executed a third unsecured demand note in favor
of YMC in the amount of $7,800,000.  BGI has allegedly made $40
million of interest and principal reduction payments to YMC in
respect of the first note.

The liquidating trust, following the effective date of YMC's plan,
obtained ownership of assets not sold to CrossHarbor, including
YMC's interest in promissory notes of $275 million from BGI.  The
trustee has been tasked to dispose of those assets with the
proceeds to be distributed to creditors of YMC.

Judge Ralph B. Kirscher, which handled YMC's Chapter 11 case, is
assigned to the involuntary case of BLX Group.

millions of dollars, were insured.  Judge Kirscher rejected Ms.

* 2009's Bank Closings Rise to 124 as Florida Bank Shut Friday
--------------------------------------------------------------
Regulators closed one bank on November 20 -- Commerce Bank of
Southwest Florida, Fort Myers, Florida -- raising the total
closings for this year to 124.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was appointed receiver
for the bank.  To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a
purchase and assumption agreement with Central Bank, Stillwater,
Minnesota, to assume all of the deposits of Commerce Bank of
Southwest Florida.  The closings will cost an additional
$23.6 million to the already depleted insurance fund of the FDIC.

In accordance with Federal law, allowed claims against failed
financial institutions will be paid, after administrative
expenses, in this order of priority:

       1. Depositors
       2. General Unsecured Creditors
       3. Subordinated Debt
       4. Stockholders

                     416 Banks on Problem List

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said August 27 that the
number of banks and savings institutions in its "Problem List"
increased to 416 at the end of the second quarter compared with
305 at March 31.

The 416 banks have combined assets of $299.8 billion.  The FDIC
said this is the largest number of "problem" institutions since
June 30, 1994, and the largest amount of assets on the list since
December 31, 1993.

At the end of the 2008, there were 252 banks on the Problem List.

"Problem" institutions are those institutions with financial,
operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their
continued financial viability.  They are rated by the FDIC or
Office of the Thrift Supervision as either a "4" or "5", based on
a scale of 1 to 5 in ascending order of supervisory concern.
The Problem List is not divulged to the public.  No advance notice
is given to the public when a financial institution is closed.

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) decreased by $2.6 billion --
20.3% -- during the second quarter to $10.4 billion, based on
unaudited figures.

According to the FDIC, the reduction in the DIF was primarily due
to an $11.6 billion increase in loss provisions for bank failures.
Twenty-four insured institutions with combined assets of
$26.4 billion failed during the second quarter of 2009, the
largest number of quarterly failures since the fourth quarter of
1992, when 42 insured institutions failed.  For 2009 through the
end of the second quarter, 45 insured institutions with combined
assets of $35.9 billion failed at an estimated current cost to the
DIF of $10.5 billion.

In 2008, 25 banks with total assets of $372 billion failed.
IndyMac Bank, FSB, was closed by the Office of Thrift Supervision
on July 11, and the FDIC was named conservator.  At the time it
was closed, IndyMac's assets of $32 billion made it the second
largest bank failure in FDIC history.

A complete list of banks that failed since 2000 is available at:

             FDIC: Insured Deposits "Absolutely Safe"

As bank failures are in the news, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation is helping consumers understand why, as Chairman
Sheila C. Bair has said, "there's no safer place in the world for
their checking, savings or retirement money." The Fall 2009 issue
of FDIC Consumer News gives facts and figures explaining the
agency's financial resources run deep and that insured deposits
are fully protected.

"Depositors should understand that the chances of their bank
failing are low, and even if their bank does fail, depositors have
nothing to worry about," said Chairman Bair in a November 17
statement. "The FDIC fully guarantees their insured deposits and
provides them with seamless access to their money. For the insured
depositor, a bank failure is a non-event."

The newsletter gives these reasons why consumers can trust the
ironclad protection of FDIC insurance:

    * By law, federal deposit insurance is backed by "the full
      faith and credit of the United States government." It means
      that the financial resources of the U.S. government protect
      federally insured depositors. "In short," said Chairman
      Bair, "we cannot run out of money."

    * If needed, the FDIC can quickly borrow money from the U.S.
      Treasury. However, Chairman Bair has stressed that the FDIC
      expects to continue to collect premiums from the banking
      industry to pay for banking industry problems -- without
      borrowing from U.S. taxpayers.

    * Federal law also requires that all insured deposits be paid
      "as soon as possible." If a bank fails, the FDIC has always
      paid every penny of insured deposits, up to the insurance
      limit, including principal and any accrued interest through
      the date of the closing. In most cases, the FDIC provides
      access to accounts on the next business day by arranging
      with a healthy institution to assume the insured deposits.

According to Chairman Bair, the bottom line for consumers is this:
"No insured depositor has ever lost a penny of insured deposits --
and none ever will. The FDIC was created specifically for times
like these. Our resources are strong. Your insured deposits are
absolutely safe."


* Argentine Debt Default,  Restructuring Hit Investors in the U.S.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Argentina's debt default and restructuring have imposed enormous
and increasing costs on taxpayers and investors in the U.S. and
worldwide, according to a new study by Dr. Robert Shapiro, a
former Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs under
President Bill Clinton and Co-Chair of American Task Force
Argentina.

The study shows that Argentina's default and subsequent refusal to
repay its lenders have imposed a net cost of $157.7 billion
worldwide and $20.5 billion in the U.S.  The report also
demonstrates that Argentina's refusal to satisfy its obligations
has been particularly damaging to some U.S. states, noting that
the cost to bondholders, taxpayers and investors in New York alone
approaches $2 billion.

The study -- "The Continuing Cost of Argentina's Debt Default and
Restructuring for Bondholders, Taxpayers, and Investors in the
United States and Worldwide" -- has been delivered to all 535 U.S.
Senators and Representatives by ATFA Executive Director Robert
Raben under a cover letter urging members of Congress to support
the Judgment Evading Foreign States Accountability Act of 2009.
The legislation, introduced by Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) and
co-sponsored by 25 of his colleagues, addresses Argentina's
unprecedented refusal to honor contracts and repay outstanding
debt to U.S. citizens.

"If the Argentine government would negotiate in good faith with
all creditors and settle its outstanding debts, the country could
return to global capital markets, strengthen its economy and
improve its standing in the international community," Dr. Shapiro
said.  "If President Kirchner won't resolve these debts because
it's the right thing to do for U.S. citizens, then she should do
it because it's also the smart thing to do for the Argentine
people."

The Obama Administration has also indicated that persuading
Argentina to satisfy its obligations to U.S. citizens is a
priority.  U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a letter
in March 2009 pledging to continue to urge the government of
Argentina to "abide by its commitments and normalize its relations
with all creditors and investors."

During her confirmation process this year, the U.S. Ambassador to
Argentina, Vilma Martinez, stated her intention to "encourage the
government of Argentina to abide by its commitments and resolve
these claims, thereby improving opportunities for American
investors, facilitating Argentina's reintegration into
international financial systems, and improving Argentina's ability
to attract foreign direct investment."

Dr. Shapiro's study also found that a significant share of the

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.
