207 REDWOOD: Court Approves Plan Sponsors' Disclosure Statement
---------------------------------------------------------------
On March 4, 2013, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Maryland approved the adequacy of the amended disclosure statement
filed by Secured Creditor RL BB Financial, LLC, and Debtor 207
Redwood, LLC, in support of the Plan Sponsors' Plan dated Nov. 13,
2012.

RL BB will acquire all assets of the Debtor and will make all
distributions under the Plan.  All property of the Debtor's estate
not otherwise specifically treated under the Plan will become
property of RL BB (or its designee).  Payments made under the Plan
will be made by RL BB.

Under the Plan, the Holders of Interests in the Debtor will not
receive or retain anything on account of their Interests, and
their Interests will be canceled and extinguished as of the
Effective Date.  The Holder of the Allowed Secured Claim will
receive payment equal to 100% of its Allowed Secured Claim on the
Effective Date.  All Classes, except Class 1 (FNA Maryland and
Baltimore City), are impaired under the Plan.

                        About 207 Redwood

Columbia, Maryland-based 207 Redwood LLC was created to own,
rehabilitate and develop a 10-story historic building located at
207 East Redwood Street in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, into a
hotel.  The Debtor filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Md.
Case No. 10-27968) on Aug. 6, 2010.  James A. Vidmar, Jr., Esq.,
and Lisa Yonka Stevens, Esq., at Logan, Yumkas, Vidmar & Sweeney,
LLC, in Annapolis, Md., assist the Debtor in its restructuring
effort.  In its amended schedules, the Debtor disclosed
$14.5 million in assets and $24.1 million in liabilities as of the
Petition Date.


ACCESS PHARMACEUTICALS: Incurs $12.5 Million Net Loss in 2012
-------------------------------------------------------------
Access Pharmaceuticals, Inc., filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a
net loss allocable to common stockholders of $12.53 million on
$4.40 million of total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012,
as compared with a net loss allocable to common stockholders of
$4.30 million on $1.84 million of total revenues during the prior
year.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $1.73 million
in total assets, $18.80 million in total liabilities and a $17.07
million total stockholders' deficit.

Whitley Penn LLP, in Dallas, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has had recurring losses from operations, negative
cash flows from operating activities and has an accumulated
deficit, which conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

A copy of the Form 10-K is available for free at:

ACCUPAY INC: Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------
Bel Air, Maryland-based AccuPay, Inc., aka Accupay, Inc., and
Accu-pay, Inc., filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Md. Case
No. 13-14295), on March 12, listing under $500,000 in both assets
and debts.

Judge Robert A. Gordon oversees the case.  Brian A. Goldman, Esq.
-- emg@goldmangoldman.com -- at Goldman & Goldman, P.A., has been
appointed as interim trustee.  The Debtor is represented James A.
Vidmar, Jr., Esq. -- jvidmar@yvslaw.com -- at Yumkas, Vidmar &
Sweeney, LLC.

A meeting of creditors under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 341(a) is set for
April 9 at 1:00 p.m. at 341 meeting room 2650 at 101 W. Lombard
St., Baltimore.

Robert Lang, writing for WBAL-TV, reports AccuPay closed its doors
earlier this month leaving many of its 600 clients with unpaid
federal and state tax bills.  The report says Harford County
Republican State Senator Barry Glassman has introduced a
commission to study the regulations of payroll service companies.
Mr. Glassman told WBAL News that the state provides no regulation,
or bonding requirements of payroll service companies.  This bill
would create a commission led by the Maryland Comptroller's
Office.  The commission would be charged with studying the issue
and making recommendations to the legislature for any regulations
that would be considered next year.

WBAL-TV reports that five companies have sued AccuPay.  The
Baltimore Sun reports that Bel Air Police were also investigating
the firm's activities.


ADEPT TECHNOLOGIES: Court Sets April 1 Hearing on Disclosures
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Alabama has
scheduled for April 1, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., the hearing to consider
the adequacy of the disclosure statement filed by ADEPT
Technologies, LLC, in support of its plan of reorganization.

As reported in the TCR on March 27, 2013, ADEPT Technologies, LLC,
delivered to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District
of Alabama, Northern Division, a plan of reorganization and
accompanying disclosure statement proposing a 10% recovery for
allowed general unsecured claims.

Secured creditors will be paid according to the following terms:

   * First Volunteer Bank will retain its lien on the collateral
     securing the Debtor's $129,536 prepetition loan until the
     time the debt is paid in full.   FVB's secured claim will be
     paid through monthly payments of $943 per month until the
     balance is paid in full.

   * PNC Bank's $6.2 million secured claim will be paid through
     the execution of a new promissory note to be secured by the
     same collateral upon which PNC had a lien prepetition
     according to its same priority.

   * The Debtor will restructure its $2.2 million and $135,078
     secured debt with Southern Development Council, Inc., and
     will assume the debt according to the terms and conditions of
     the existing finance agreements in place. SDC will retain its
     lien on the collateral securing the debt until the time the
     debt is paid in full.

Brad Fielder, who owns 51% of the outstanding membership interests
in the Debtor, and Chad Fielder, who owns the remaining 49% of the
Debtor's outstanding stock, will retain their equity although they
won't be paid until administrative, priority and unsecured
claimants have been paid.

is available for free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/ADEPTds0228.pdf

                     About ADEPT Technologies

ADEPT Technologies, LLC, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D.
Ala. Case No. 12-83490) on Oct. 31, 2012, in Decatur, Alabama.
The Debtor, which has principal assets located in Huntsville,
Alabama, estimated assets of $10 million to $50 million and
liabilities of up to $10 million.  Judge Jack Caddell presides
over the case.

Kevin D. Heard, Esq., at Heard Ary, LLC, represents the Debtor as
counsel.  The petition was signed by Brad Fielder, managing
member.


ALETHEIA RESEARCH: Trustee Wants Case Converted to Chapter 7
------------------------------------------------------------
Jeffrey I. Golden, Chapter 11 Trustee for the bankruptcy estate of
Aletheia Research and Management, Inc., has asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California to convert
the Debtor's Chapter 11 case to Chapter 7.

The U.S. Trustee and his professionals have inspected the Debtor's
business premises, conferred with the Debtor's management and
counsel, conducted an analysis of the Debtor's operations and
assets, closed the Debtor's business, and relocated the Debtor's
personal property to a warehouse in Santa Fe Springs, California,
pending future sale.  The Chapter 11 Trustee closed the Debtor's
business and vacated its business premises as of Jan. 31, 2013, in
order to avoid incurring $160,000 in rent charges for February.

The Chapter 11 Trustee believes that no benefit would be derived
from a plan of reorganization or from the Debtor remaining in
Chapter 11.

                      About Aletheia Research

Aletheia Research and Management, Inc., filed a bare-bones
Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 12-47718) on
Nov. 11, 2012.  Attorneys at Greenberg Glusker represent the
Debtor.  Avant Advisory Group, LLC, is the financial advisor.  The
board voted in favor of a bankruptcy filing due to the Company's
financial situation and ongoing litigation.

Investments has unliquidated and disputed claims of $16 million on
account of pending litigation.  An official committee of unsecured
creditors was appointed in December 2012.  The Committee is
represented by Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP while Brandlin &
Associates provides financial advisory services.

Jeffrey I. Golden was appointed as Chapter 11 Trustee in January
2013.  Baker & Hostetler LLP is the Trustee's special counsel and

ALLIED INDUSTRIES: Section 341(a) Meeting Scheduled for April 23
----------------------------------------------------------------
A meeting of creditors in the bankruptcy case of Allied
Industries, Inc., will be held on April 23, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. at
RM 105, 21051 Warner Center Lane, Woodland Hills, CA 91367.

This is the first meeting of creditors required under Section
341(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in all bankruptcy cases.

All creditors are invited, but not required, to attend.  This
meeting of creditors offers the one opportunity in a bankruptcy
proceeding for creditors to question a responsible office of the
Debtor under oath about the company's financial affairs and
operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

Allied Industries, Inc., filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D.
Cal. Case. No. 13-11948) on March 21, 2013.  The petition was
signed by Ernesto Gutierrez as president and chief executive
officer.  The Debtor scheduled assets of $13,086,216 and
scheduled liabilities of $7,457,365.  Dheeraj K. Singhal, Esq., at
DCDM LAW GROUP, P.C., serves as the Debtor's counsel.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Has Court's Green Light to Proceed With Merger
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As widely reported, Bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane on Wednesday
permitted US Airways and American Airlines to proceed with their
planned merger.  Judge Lane, however, deferred ruling on a nearly
$20 million severance package for AMR CEO Thomas Horton.

Mr. Horton is slated to step down as CEO when the merger becomes
effective.  US Airways CEO Doug Parker will assume that role in
the combined company.  Mr. Horton, however, will continue to serve
as non-executive chairman but will give up that position sometime
in 2014.

"Judge Lane's approval of the merger agreement today allows us to
continue progressing forward with our planned merger and we are
gratified to know that he considers the merger an 'excellent
result' for stakeholders," the airlines said in a joint statement.

According to James O'Toole and Chris Isidore, writing for
CNNMoney, while Judge Lane declined to approve Mr. Horton's
severance, he may take up the issue again when AMR presents its
reorganization plan for approval within the next few months.

Tracy Hope Davis, the U.S. Trustee for Region 2, objected to Mr.
Horton's severance.  According to CNNMoney, calling it excessive
and a violation of bankruptcy law.

CNNMoney relates American spokesman Mike Trevino countered that
the severance arrangements "are designed to motivate a strong
management team during the integration process and will be paid by
the new company."  Gregg Overman, spokesman for the Allied Pilots
Union, which represents the American pilots, said ahead of the
hearing that the group was "not happy" with Mr. Horton's proposed
severance, but said it "appears to be a cost of doing business."

The merger also requires approval from federal regulators before
it's finalized, which is expected to happen in the third quarter
of this year, CNNMoney notes.

                      About American Airlines

AMR Corp. and its subsidiaries including American Airlines, the
third largest airline in the United States, filed for bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 11-15463) in Manhattan
on Nov. 29, 2011, after failing to secure cost-cutting labor
agreements.  AMR, previously the world's largest airline prior to
mergers by other airlines, is the last of the so-called U.S.
legacy airlines to seek court protection from creditors.

Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP serves as bankruptcy counsel to the
Debtors.  Paul Hastings LLP and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP Groom Law
Group, Chartered, are on board as special counsel.  Rothschild
Inc., is the financial advisor.   Garden City Group Inc. is the
claims and notice agent.

Jack Butler, Esq., John Lyons, Esq., Felecia Perlman, Esq., and
Jay Goffman, Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
serve as counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
in AMR's chapter 11 proceedings.  Togut, Segal & Segal LLP is the
co-counsel for conflicts and other matters; Moelis & Company LLC
is the investment banker, and Mesirow Financial Consulting, LLC,
is the financial advisor.

AMR and US Airways Group, Inc., on Feb. 14, 2013 announced a
definitive merger agreement under which the companies will combine
to create a premier global carrier, which will have an implied
combined equity value of approximately $11 billion.  The deal is
subject to clearance by U.S. and foreign regulators and by the
bankruptcy judge overseeing AMR's bankruptcy case.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Supports Bonuses for CEO Horton and Executives
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the U.S. Trustee doesn't object to AMR Corp.'s merger
with US Airways Group Inc., nor does she object to compensation
adjustments for rank-and-file workers.  She does object to a
$20 million severance package for departing Chief Executive
Officer Thomas Horton and bonuses for other top-level executives.

However, AMR contends the executive bonuses are permissible
because they will be paid after bankruptcy concludes and will come
from a newly created entity, not from AMR.

Bankruptcy law either prohibits or limits bonuses for executives
in bankruptcy reorganization.  Bonuses for merely remaining with
the company are prohibited.

According to the report, the bankruptcy watchdog for the Justice
Department says AMR can't evade congressional bonus prohibitions.
She says that the $20 million severance for Horton doesn't fall
within any bonus Congress permits.  Bonuses for other executives,
payable on emergence from bankruptcy and later, are all dependent
only on remaining in AMR's employment, and thus are prohibited
retention bonuses.  According to the U.S. Trustee, the "insiders"
are holding "this deal hostage to their self-interested self-
dealing."

AMR has yet to file the Chapter 11 reorganization plan that will
put the merger into effect.  The airline expects the merger to be
completed in the third quarter following confirmation of the plan.
The plan will allow existing AMR shareholders to receive 3.5% or
more of the stock in the merged companies.  The plan also gives
stock in the merged companies to AMR creditors.

AMR stock has risen 61% this month, closing down 3.4% to $4.03
March 25 in over the counter trading.  The stock was around $1.30
before the merger was announced and 40 cents in October.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Plan Filing Deadline Extended to May 29
----------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane on Wednesday extended AMR Corp. and
its debtor-affiliates' exclusive period to file a Chapter 11 plan
to and including May 29, 2013, and the exclusive period to solicit
plan votes to and including July 29, 2013.  The extensions, the
Court said, are without prejudice to further requests that may be
made pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1121(d) by any party in
interest, for cause shown, upon notice and a hearing.  But the
Court added that should the Unsecured Creditors' Committee file a
motion to shorten the Debtors' Exclusive Periods, the Debtors
shall bear the burden in accordance with 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1121(d) to
show cause to retain the Exclusive Periods.

AMERICAN BUILDERS: Moody's Rates $1.15-Bil. Senior Term Loan 'B1'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a first-time B1 Corporate
Family Rating and B1-PD Probability of Default Rating to American
Builders & Contractors Supply Co., Inc., the direct, wholly-owned
operating subsidiary of ABC Supply Holding Corp.

Moody's also assigned a B1 rating to the company's proposed $1.15
billion senior secured term loan and a B3 rating to its proposed
$600 million senior unsecured notes.

Proceeds from the term loan and the notes, in addition to $124
million of incremental borrowings under the company's asset-based
revolving credit facility (unrated) will finance the redemption of
the minority shares of ABC currently held by the affiliates of
Advent International, Apollo Global Management and the founding
family of the legacy Bradco Supply business for approximately $1.4
billion. $184 million of the proceeds will be used to redeem all
outstanding stock appreciation rights (SARs). Remaining proceeds
will be used to refinance existing debt and to pay other related
fees and expenses.

Upon the closing of the transaction, Diane M. Hendricks
Enterprises, Inc. will be the company's sole remaining
shareholder. The rating outlook is stable.

The following ratings will be affected by this action:

  Corporate Family Rating assigned B1;

  Probability of Default Rating assigned B1-PD,

  Senior Secured Term Loan B due 2020 assigned B1 (LGD3, 48%);
  and,

  Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 assigned B3 (LGD5, 86%).

Ratings Rationale:

ABC's B1 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's highly
leveraged capital structure following the buyout by the majority
shareholder and the redemption of the outstanding SARs. The
addition of over $1.6 billion of balance sheet debt will raise the
company's pro forma adjusted debt leverage to over 5.5 times from
only 1.7 times at December 31, 2012 (ratios incorporate Moody's
standard accounting adjustments). However, Moody's projects
gradual improvement by the end of 2014, based on Moody's
expectations for increased volume and gradual debt reduction.

In addition, as a result of the buyout and the redemption of the
SARs, the company will have substantially negative book equity.
Further constraining the rating is Moody's concern that future
distributions to DMHE -- or payments to related parties -- could
limit debt reduction or potentially raise leverage if financed
with debt. Also, ABC has historically maintained a minimal cash
balance and intends to continue to do so going forward, which
could increase the company's reliance on its revolving credit
facility to cover working capital requirements and growth capital
expenditures, including opportunistic bolt-on acquisitions.

Offsetting some of these concerns is the strength of company's
business profile. ABC is among the largest distributors of
exterior building products and roofing supplies. Its vast national
footprint allows it to absorb shocks associated with regional
weakness and also manage potential volatility in annual storm-
related demand. In addition, demand for its products is more
likely to rebound during the earlier months of a recovery in its
end markets, as roof repair is a relatively non-discretionary
expense compared with other repair and remodeling projects.

ABC's size and scope allow it to generate high absolute levels of
operating profit, which offsets its single-digit operating
margins. Despite the large pro forma increase in balance sheet
debt and interest expense, Moody's expects that interest coverage
will remain strong for the B rating category over the next 12 to
18 months. Also supporting the rating is the company's good
liquidity profile, characterized by strong free cash flow
generation, ample revolver availability and the absence of
material debt maturities until the revolver expires in 2018.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's view that ABC's
operating performance will continue to improve and that free cash
flow will be used for debt reduction, resulting in leverage
metrics that are more supportive of the current corporate family
rating.

The B1 rating assigned to the senior secured term loan due 2020 is
the same as the corporate family rating, as it represents the
preponderance of debt in the proposed capital structure. The term
loan will be secured by a first lien on all of the ABC's assets
not pledged to secure the asset-based revolving credit facility.
It will also have a second lien on the assets securing the
revolver. The term loan will be guaranteed by ABC's domestic
subsidiaries, and will benefit from $600 million in more junior
capital, which would absorb the first losses in a recovery
scenario.

The B3 rating assigned to the senior unsecured notes due 2021 is
two notches below the corporate family rating, reflecting its
position as the junior-most debt in the capital structure, as well
as large size of the company's more senior committed facilities.
The notes will be guaranteed by ABC's domestic subsidiaries, as
well.

Due to the company's elevated debt leverage, Moody's believes
positive rating actions are unlikely for ABC over the near term.
However, if the company meets Moody's expectations for debt
reduction using free cash flow and maintains debt-to-EBITDA below
4.5 times, the ratings may be considered for an upgrade (ratios
incorporate Moody's standard accounting adjustments).

Negative rating actions could occur if ABC's operating performance
falls below Moody's expectations or if the company abandons its
commitment to debt reduction such that (EBITDA-Capex)-to-interest
remains below 2.0 times or debt-to-EBITDA is sustained above 5.5
times (ratios incorporate Moody's standard accounting
adjustments). Excessive usage of the revolving credit facility for
acquisitions or for distributions to the shareholder or related
parties, as well as deterioration in the company's free cash flow
generation could pressure the ratings.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Distribution & Supply Chain Services Industry Methodology
published in November 2011. Other methodologies used include Loss
Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the
U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

American Builders & Contractors Supply Co., Inc., headquartered in
Beloit, WI, is among the largest national distributors of exterior
building products and roofing supplies in the US. Revenues for the
12 months ended December 31, 2012 were approximately $4.7 billion.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Fitch Sees Minimal Impact of US Airways Merger
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch expects the merger of AMR Corporation (the parent of
American Airlines) and US Airways Group Inc. to have minimal
impact on the co-branded credit card asset-backed securities
issued by their related institutions. "We consider the possible
effect on securitized credit card receivables including decreased
card utilization or performance deterioration in the related
receivables that may be driven by shifts in consumer behaviour as
a result of the merger. AMR Corp.'s $11 billion merger with US
Airways Group Inc. was announced in mid-February," Fitch says.

American Airlines co-branded credit cards are issued by Citibank,
N.A. and represent nearly one-quarter of the receivables issued in
the Citibank Credit Card Master Trust I. Presently, it is unclear
as to whether the rewards programs offered by American
(AAdvantage) and US Airways Group Inc. (Dividend Mile) will be
consolidated under a single credit card program or remain
separate, be re-branded and convert under a new credit card, or
(although highly unlikely) terminated in their entirety.

In any of the above cases, the impact to Fitch-rated credit card
trusts would be minimal. Any decline in card usage is covered
under the purchase rate stress scenarios employed in Fitch's cash
flow modelling. Performance deterioration resulting from shifts in
consumer behaviour is also reflected in the cash flow stresses we
apply to yield, monthly payment rate, and chargeoffs.
Additionally, performance deterioration and/or failure of the
originator to replenish the trust with new receivables would
largely be mitigated by early amortization events present in the
trust structure. "We will continue to monitor the progress of the
merger and Citibank trust performance through its surveillance
process on an ongoing basis," Fitch says.


AMFIN FINANCIAL: Needn't Turn Over $195M Tax Refund to FDIC
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sindhu Sundar of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that AmFin Financial
Corp. scored a victory Tuesday, when an Ohio federal judge ruled
the bankrupt firm can hold onto a $195 million tax refund that the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. claimed belongs to an affiliate
bank now in the agency's receivership.

The report related that U.S. District Judge John R. Adams granted
AmFin's motion for judgment on the pleadings, ruling that in the
clear debtor-creditor relationship established between AmFin and
its affiliates in two tax sharing agreements, the affiliates have
the right only to an eventual refund payment from AmFin.

AMTRUST FINANCIAL: $195MM Tax Refunds Belong to Bankruptcy Estate
-----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge John R. Adams ruled that roughly $195 million in
tax refunds belong to the holding company of AmTrust Bank.  The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which was appointed
receiver for the bank, contends the refund is property of AmTrust
Bank, while AmFin Financial Corporation fka AmTrust Financial
Corp., the holding company, argues the refund belongs to it as the
holding company and that the FDIC has nothing more than an
unsecured claim to the refund.

ATWATER PUBLIC: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Rating on $19.6MM Revenue Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the following Atwater Public Financing
Authority, California bonds issued on behalf of the City of
Atwater, California and has removed the rating from Rating Watch
Negative:

-- $19.6 million wastewater revenue bonds, series 2008 at 'BB'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

SECURITY

The bonds are secured by installment payments made by the city to
the trustee as assignee of the authority. The city's obligation to
make installment payments is secured by a pledge of gross revenues
of the city's sewer system (the system). The bonds are also
secured by a cash-funded debt service reserve fund (DSRF), funded
at the maximum amount allowable by law and held with the trustee.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

WILLINGNESS-TO-PAY CONCERN LESSENED: The removal from Rating Watch
Negative reflects the city's November 2012 decision to take no
further action toward entering into confidential negotiations with
creditors under California's A.B. 506 process or vote to petition
for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. This action diminishes
Fitch's immediate concern about the city's ultimate willingness to
pay system bonds.

POSSIBLE BOND ACCELERATION CONCERN LESSENED: The removal from the
Negative Watch further reflects reduced concerns surrounding a
possible declared event of default and bond acceleration by the
trustee given the city's actions to date to avoid initiating the
A.B. 506 process or petitioning for Chapter 9 bankruptcy
protection.

DECLINING SYSTEM BALANCES AND OUTFLOWS: The low rating primarily
reflects deficits and structural imbalances in the city's general,
water, and sanitation funds, which have led to a rapid drawdown in
pooled cash resources. System pledged revenues are included in the
city's pooled cash, and while the amount of draws from system
resources to support non-system operations currently is unknown,
it is clear to Fitch by the city's drawdown of system funds that
the city has viewed these monies as available to support operating
deficits from other city funds.

STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE DESPITE REVENUE-RAISING ACTIONS: The city has
recently taken or expects to take various revenue-raising actions
in the coming months to eliminate structural imbalances in the
city's general, water and sanitation funds, although additional
actions are likely to be necessary. Failure by the city council to
close structural imbalances could ultimately impair the city's
ability to accumulate sufficient funds to make sewer bond debt
service payments without a draw on the DSRF.

DECLINING COVERAGE LEVELS: Recent bond issuances have resulted in
narrow debt service coverage (DSC) levels. Furthermore, DSC
dropped to near sum-sufficient in fiscal 2011 including transfer
out to other city funds. Unaudited fiscal 2012 results indicate a
very slight increase in coverage.

HIGH DEBT, SLOW AMORTIZATION: The city's recent succession of debt
issuances to complete construction of a new wastewater treatment
plant in order to comply with environmental requirements has
resulted in high debt levels and slow amortization.

LIMITED SERVICE AREA AND RATE FLEXIBILITY: Rate increases to
support debt service on system bonds have resulted in monthly
charges that are substantially higher than surrounding
communities. The service area's below-average income metrics and
high unemployment further challenge the city's ability to increase
rates in the future.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

BOND ACCELERATION: Declaration of an event of default by the
trustee of the bonds, which could lead to acceleration of the
bonds, would place severe credit pressure on the rating.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING THE SYSTEM: Fitch's ongoing review
will consider both future actions by the city that could
negatively affect the system as well as any developing external
system pressures. Depending on the nature of the event(s), the
rating on the bonds could deteriorate rapidly and significantly
from the current rating level.

CREDIT PROFILE

IMMINENT WILLINGNESS-TO-PAY CONCERNS ABATED

As expected, the city council declared a fiscal emergency in
October 2012. However, the city council has not pursued any
additional steps to erode its perceived willingness to pay system
bonds. Moreover, in November 2012 the city council closed
discussion related to possible confidential mediation process with
creditors pursuant to the state's A.B. 506. The city also passed a
fiscal year 2013 budget in February 2013 and expects to adopt an
operationally balanced budget for fiscal 2014 in the coming
months.

Fitch does not currently anticipate that the city will imminently
enter into the A.B. 506 process and/or file for Chapter 9
bankruptcy protection. However, if the city does take one of these
actions, negative rating action would likely ensue and may be
significant as Fitch would view such events as an impairment of
the city's willingness to pay. Further, credit concerns would be
heightened in that a Chapter 9 filing would constitute an event of
default under the bond documents with a possible acceleration of
the bonds by the trustee; Fitch believes the trustee could
possibly declare an event of default followed by acceleration of
the bonds with the initiation of the A.B. 506 process as well.

FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY REMAINS

Structural imbalances in the city's general, water, and sanitation
funds over the last few years have eroded the city's fiscal
capacity and led to a sharp reduction in city pooled cash
resources since fiscal 2011, the city's last available audited
financial statements. Further, the drawdown of pooled cash since
fiscal 2011 has negatively affected system cash balances.

While the system reportedly is generating positive cash flow and
prior city projections forecasted coverage of fiscal 2013 debt
service costs by 1.3x, the possible use of system resources for
non-system purposes could reduce actual system margins for the
year to minimal or even negative levels. Currently, pooled cash
balances of $5.6 million are sufficient to meet a $3.2 million
system debt service payment due May 1.

FAVORABLE ACTIONS TO DATE TO ACHIEVE STRUCTURAL BALANCE

The structural deficits in the general, water, and sanitation
funds stem largely from declining revenues, rising expenditures,
and failure to raise rates in the water (for 20 years) and
sanitation funds (for 10 years). For the general fund, home values
reportedly have dropped around 40% since the 2007 peak year,
significantly reducing tax revenues. In addition, almost all other
general fund revenues, with the exception of sales taxes, have
experienced declines over the last few years.

To boost revenues and move towards budgetary balance, the city
recently implemented a five-year water rate package that will
increase rates for typical users by 40% for fiscal 2013, followed
by additional increases of 15% annually through fiscal 2017. The
city also plans to implement a sanitation rate increase by June
2013.

On the general fund side, in March 2013 voters approved a one-
half-cent sales tax restricted for public safety spending. The
sales tax is expected to generate at least $1.3 million but only
about $350,000 will provide relief to the general fund. The city
achieved concessions from bargaining units in October 2012, but
additional actions will be needed to close the general fund
structural imbalance.

SMALL AND STRAINED SERVICE AREA

Atwater is located in northeast Merced County, in the central
portion of California's San Joaquin Valley. With a population of
about 28,000, it is a small agricultural based community with a
federal prison at the site of the former Castle Air Force Base,
which closed in 1995. The sewer system provides wastewater
collection, treatment, and disposal to the city's residents and to
the Town of Winton (population of about 9,000), a U.S.
penitentiary (inmate population of around 1,200), and Castle
Airport Aviation. These three customers combined provided about
24% of service charge revenues in fiscal year 2012.

Typical of agricultural communities, unemployment levels (17.5%
for December 2012) are well above state and national averages
while income levels are below average. The area has experienced a
significant slowdown in growth in the past several years as
exemplified by a sharp decline in connection fee revenues and city
assessed values.

REGULATORY ISSUES LEAD TO ELEVATED DEBT PROFILE

The system currently operates one wastewater treatment plant
(WWTP). The authority has issued approximately $64 million in
wastewater revenue bonds since 2008 - nearly tripling outstanding
system debt - to construct the new WWTP. The WWTP was designed to
comply with more stringent requirements associated with the
system's discharge permit, including a move to tertiary treatment
standards. As a result of the authority's recent debt issuances,
system debt levels are 3x-8x higher than Fitch's national medians.
In addition, amortization of principal is very slow, with just 41%
of principal retired in 20 years.


BIOFUEL ENERGY: To Explore Strategic Alternatives After Default
---------------------------------------------------------------
BioFuel Energy Corp. on March 26 disclosed that it has engaged
Piper Jaffray & Co to act as its financial adviser to assist the
Company in exploring certain strategic alternatives, including a
potential sale of one or both of its plants.

As previously disclosed, the Company's operating subsidiaries did
not make the regularly-scheduled payments of principal and
interest that were due on September 28, 2012 on the term loans
outstanding under their senior debt facility.  This resulted in
the Company receiving a notice of default from First National Bank
of Omaha, as Administrative Agent for the lenders under the senior
debt facility.  Since the initial default, the operating
subsidiaries have not made any of the regularly-scheduled
principal and interest payments, which through December 31, 2012
totaled $8.2 million.

The lenders under the senior debt facility have indicated that
they are willing to provide the Company with a grace period until
July 30, 2013 to allow the Company to pursue one or more strategic
alternatives.  This grace period would be subject to the
achievement of certain milestones, and could be extended at the
sole discretion of the Administrative Agent under the senior debt
facility.  The Company expects to enter into a formal agreement to
reflect the foregoing as soon as reasonably practicable.  The
Company noted that, in the event of a sale of one or both of its
ethanol plants, the proceeds of such sale would first be applied
to repay all or a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under
the senior debt facility.  Residual proceeds after satisfying the
senior indebtedness, if any, would accrue to the Company.

The Company, on behalf of its operating subsidiaries that are the
borrowers under the senior debt facility, has been engaged in
separate discussions with the lenders regarding a consensual
resolution of the default.  The Company noted that any such
agreement with the lenders would most likely entail the transfer
of substantially all of the assets of the operating subsidiaries
in satisfaction of the outstanding indebtedness.  To this end, the
Company's Board of Directors has approved in principle
management's proceeding with such a transaction in the event the
Company is unable to achieve an alternative transaction.

The Company added that, in either the case of a transfer of assets
to the lenders or a sale of one or both of its plants, there are
no assurances as to what value may be derived for shareholders of
the Company from such transfer or sale.  At December 31, 2012, the
Company had $9.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which
$8.6 million was held at the parent and $0.7 million was held at
the operating subsidiaries, the latter amount subject to the
security interest of the lenders under the senior debt facility.
Those balances have not changed materially since.

                       About Biofuel Energy

Denver, Colo.-based BioFuel Energy Corp. (Nasdaq: BIOF) --
http://www.bfenergy.com/-- aims to become a leading ethanol
producer in the United States by acquiring, developing, owning and
operating ethanol production facilities.  It currently has two
115 million gallons per year ethanol plants in the Midwestern corn
belt.

The Company reported a net loss of $10.36 million in 2011,
compared with a net loss of $25.22 million during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed $263.16
million in total assets, $196.94 million in total liabilities and
$66.22 million in total equity.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

"Drought conditions in the American Midwest have significantly
impacted this year's corn crop and caused a significant reduction
in the corn yield.  Since the end of the second quarter, this has
led to a significant increase in the price of corn and a
corresponding narrowing in the crush spread.  The crush spread has
narrowed as ethanol prices have not risen correspondingly with
rising corn prices, due to an oversupply of ethanol.  As a result,
the Company announced on September 24, 2012 that it had decided to
idle its Fairmont facility until the crush spread improves.  In
the event crush spreads narrow further, we may choose to curtail
operations at our Wood River facility or idle the facility and
cease operations altogether until such time as crush spreads
improve.  We expect fluctuations in the crush spread to continue.

"Due to our limited and declining liquidity, during the third
quarter the Company determined that the two operating subsidiaries
of the LLC (the "Operating Subsidiaries") would not make the
regularly-scheduled payments of principal and interest that were
due under the outstanding Senior Debt Facility on September 28,
2012, in an aggregate amount of $3.6 million.  As a result, the
Operating Subsidiaries received a Notice of Default on September
28, 2012 from First National Bank of Omaha, as Administrative
Agent for the Senior Debt Facility, concerning the failure to make
the regularly-scheduled payments of principal and interest.  On
November 5, 2012, the Operating Subsidiaries and its lenders
entered into a Forbearance Agreement whereby its lenders agreed to
forbear from exercising their remedies under the Senior Debt
Facility until November 15, 2012.  The Company is engaged in
active and continuing discussions with its lenders and their
advisors regarding the terms of a potential capital infusion into
the Operating Subsidiaries.  This capital may take the form of a
capital contribution from the Company, additional loans, a long-
term forbearance or restructuring under the Senior Debt Facility,
some combination of the foregoing, or another form yet to be
determined. While the Company intends to reach resolution with its
lenders with respect to this matter, there can be no assurance it
will be able to do so on terms that are favorable or acceptable to
the Company, or at all.

"As of September 30, 2012, the Operating Subsidiaries had $170.5
million of indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Debt
Facility.  The entire amount outstanding under the Senior Debt
Facility has been classified as a current liability in the
September 30, 2012 consolidated balance sheet.  If the Company is
unable to reach an agreement with its lenders under the Senior
Debt Facility, and if its lenders successfully exercise their
remedies under the Senior Debt Facility, the Company may be unable
to continue as a going concern, and could be forced to seek relief
from creditors through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."

in total assets, $1.52 billion in total liabilities and $110.60
million in total shareholders' equity.

As reported by the TCR on July 13, 2012, Moody's Investors Service
revised The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc.'s Probability of Default Rating
to Caa1/LD from Caa3.  The Caa1/LD rating reflects the company's
exchange of $330 million of new senior secured notes due 2017 for
$330 million of its unsecured notes due 2014.  Moody's also
affirmed the company's Corporate Family Rating at Caa1 and
affirmed the Caa3 rating assigned to the company's senior
unsecured notes due 2014.

Moody's said the affirmation of the company's 'Caa1' corporate
family rating reflects the company's persistent negative trends in
sales and operating margins and uncertainties that the company's
strategies to reverse these trends will be effective.

its reorganization plan became effective, on Nov. 17, 2010.

BURCAM CAPITAL: CWCapital Fails to Halt Confirmation Order
----------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge J. Rich Leonard denied the motion of CWCapital
Asset Management LLC to stay the implementation of the order
confirming Burcam Capital II LLC's Chapter 11 plan, pending
CWCapital's appeal of:

     -- the confirmation order dated Feb. 26, 2013, and
     -- the order dated Feb. 15, 2013, denying CWCapital's
        request to dismiss the Debtor's case.

CWCapital states it will be irreparably harmed if the stay is not
granted.  CWCapital relies on the fact that the plan provides for
the vesting of the Debtor's property, equity interests, and
management rights in the debtor upon confirmation or shortly
thereafter. It also notes that the appeals may be equitably moot
if the orders are not stayed and the plan is substantially
consummated prior to the determination of the appeals.

Judge Leonard, however, ruled that the claims held by CWCapital
are treated as fully secured.  There is no dispute that there is
an equity cushion of two to three million dollars in the property.

"Plan feasibility is not an issue," said Judge Leonard.
"Moreover, CWCapital is entitled to start receiving payments
shortly after the effective date with an interest rate that is
better than that negotiated originally. CWCapital's treatment
under the plan is fair and equitable. Finally, this is essentially
a two party dispute where there are no third party rights that
would trigger concerns of equitable mootness. In the event that
the order confirming the plan is reversed, the parties can be
returned to their pre-confirmation status quo, with credit given
for payments made during the pendency of the appeal."

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: Hearing on Case Dismissal Today
-----------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California
has set for March 28, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., the hearing on the U.S.
Trustee's motion for the dismissal of Business Development and
Management Inc.'s Chapter 11 case.

The Trustee's dismissal motion is made on the grounds that the
Debtor is abusing the bankruptcy system by multiple filings, with
no ability or intention to reorganize.  According to the U.S.
Trustee, the Debtor does not have counsel employed and approved by
the Court, and has not filed its schedules or statement of
financial affairs, and creditor list even though this case has
been pending for over a month.

On Jan. 29, 2013, the Trustee sent a letter to Debtor's counsel
requesting various financial documents and information from the
Debtor, but none of the requested documents have been received by
the Trustee, even though they were due on Feb. 11, 2013.  The
Debtor has failed to provide essential documents, including, among
other things, tax returns, financial statements, bank statements
and check registers for the 90 days prior to filing.

The Debtor's current Chapter 11 case was filed while its second
case was still pending.  According to the Trustee, the second case
was not dismissed until six days after Debtor filed its current
third case.  After the first case, filed on Aug. 17, 2012, was
dismissed on Nov. 15, 2012, the second case was filed on Nov. 30,
2012.  The Debtor's current counsel, Linda Voss, Esq., who
substituted in as counsel during the second case, filed a motion
for voluntary dismissal on Jan. 18, 2013.  The Court dismissed the
second case on Jan. 31, 2013.

The Debtor's two earlier filings both reported the Debtor's
business address to be a Los Angeles area address, while Debtor's
current filing reports 111 North Market Street Suite 300, San
Jose.  On Feb. 11, 2013, Ms. Voss emailed the Trustee's office,
stating that the Debtor's second "case was dismissed when we
learned that the corporate office moved to San Jose."  However, on
Jan. 29, 2013, two of the Trustee's employees visited the Debtor's
San Jose address and found that 111 North Market is a large
professional office building and that suite 300 is an area of
several sub-office rooms.  No evidence was noted of the Debtor's
presence at this location, and the Debtor wasn't listed on the
building directory.  The receptionist at the entrance of Suite 300
had no knowledge of the Debtor.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California
continued until June 13, 2013, at 10 a.m., the hearing to consider
the confirmation of Camarillo Plaza, LLC's Plan of Liquidation.

Written ballots accepting or rejecting the Plan are due May 1.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 21, 2013, the
Debtor has found a buyer for its property, an 8.54-acre with
74,000 net rentable square feet of retail commercial space.
Secured creditors Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee for the
Registered Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage
Securities Corp., Commercial Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2006-C3, has agreed to cooperate in consummating the sale.  The
Debtor and the Lender expect to resolve the amount of Lender's
claim by the time of confirmation of the Plan.  The current
purchase offer is for $18.2 million.  The Lender's asserted
secured claim is $12.7 million as of July 16, 2012.  The purchase
price will be paid by (i) assumption of the Loan by the purchaser,
and (ii) the balance in cash.  The $18.2 million offer is subject
to overbid on the terms set forth in the bidding procedures.

The net cash proceeds of the sale are expected to be sufficient to
pay all creditors 100% of their allowed claims.  General unsecured
creditors will be paid 100% of their allowed claims without
interest as soon as practicable after the close of escrow.

CAPITOL BANCORP: Selling Stake in Capital National
--------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Capitol Bancorp Ltd. is hurriedly arranging the sale
of its remaining interest in Capital National Bank, to generate
$1.5 million so regulators won't take over some of the other bank
subsidiaries.

Before bankruptcy, Capitol contracted to sell about 25 bank
subsidiaries in compliance with regulators' demands for improving
the banks' capital adequacy.  The Capitol holding company retained
19.4% of Capital National.

According to the report, the holding company filed papers on
March 22 and arranged a hearing March 27 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in Detroit to sell the stock for $17 a share, or a total of about
$1.5 million.  Sale proceeds will be funneled into capital
accounts of several affiliated banks to keep them from being taken
over.

the Southern District of New York to dismiss the involuntary
bankruptcy petition filed on Feb. 8, 2013, by Abax Lotus Ltd.,
Abax Nai Xin A Ltd. and Lake Street Fund LP.

The Debtor claimed that it has not been served with valid summons.
According to the Debtor, the Petitioning Creditors purported to
serve the summons and a copy of the involuntary petition to the
Debtor by first class mail, postage pre-paid, addressed to: China
Natural Gas, Inc., Attn: Taylor Zhang, 90 Park Avenue, 16th Floor,
New York, NY 10016" and to "The Corporation Trust Company,
Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, DE

general agent of the Debtor, nor is he or the Debtor located at 90
Park Avenue in New York.  The Debtor is a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its
principal place of business in Xi'an, Republic of China.

The Debtor added that The Corporation Trust isn't authorized to
accept service on the Debtor's behalf, as it isn't a registered
agent of the Debtor.  The Corporation Trust Company was the former
registered agent for a company also named China Natural Gas, Inc.,
that was formed in December 2005, but that company merged into the
Debtor in that same month and is currently an inactive Delaware

On March 20, 2013, Mr. Brizius resigned as a member of the Board
of Directors of the Company.  Pursuant to the Company's Seventh
Amended and Restated By-laws, as amended, effective March 20,
2013, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed James C.
Carlisle as a member of the Company's Board of Directors to fill
the vacancy created by Mr. Brizius' resignation.

James C. Carlisle is a Managing Director at Thomas H. Lee
Partners, L.P.  Prior to joining THL in 2000, Mr. Carlisle worked
at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in the Financial Institutions Group.  Mr.
Carlisle also currently is a board observer at Univision
Communications, Inc., and a director of Agencyport Software Ltd.,
a provider of software systems to the insurance industry, and
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., the Company's publicly
traded indirect subsidiary.  Mr. Carlisle also was appointed as a
member of the board of directors of CC Media Holdings, Inc., the
Company's indirect parent, on March 20, 2013.  Mr. Carlisle holds
a B.S.E., summa cum laude, in Operations Research from Princeton
University and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.  He also
serves as a member of the board of directors of The Massachusetts
Eye and Ear Infirmary and is an active contributor to the National
Park Foundation.

Mr. Carlisle will not receive any compensation for his service on
the Company's Board of Directors.  He will receive the same form
of Indemnification Agreement as all other members of the Company's
Board of Directors.  At this time, the Board of Directors does not
intend to appoint Mr. Carlisle as a member of any of the
committees of the Board of Directors.

Entities controlled by Bain Capital Investors, LLC, and THL and
their respective affiliates collectively own all of the
outstanding shares of the Class B common stock and the Class C
common stock of CCMH.  These shares represent in the aggregate
approximately 69% (whether measured by voting power or economic
interest) of the equity of CCMH.  In addition, seven of the
Company's directors (including Mr. Carlisle) are affiliated with
the Sponsors and all of the Company's directors are members of the
Board of Directors of CCMH.

In connection with the 2008 merger pursuant to which CCMH acquired
the Company, CCMH or the Company entered into a number of
agreements with the Sponsors and certain of their affiliates,
including (1) a management agreement pursuant to which the
Sponsors provide management and financial advisory services to
CCMH and its wholly owned subsidiaries until 2018, at a rate not
greater than $15 million per year, plus reimbursable expenses, (2)
a stockholders agreement relating to voting in elections to the
Board of Directors of CCMH and the transfer of certain shares and
(3) an affiliate transactions agreement with respect to the entry
into certain transactions between CCMH or its subsidiaries, on the
one hand, and the Sponsors or their respective affiliates, on the
other hand.  In addition, as a result of the worldwide reach and
the nature of the business of CCMH and its subsidiaries and the
breadth of investments by the Sponsors, it is not unusual for CCMH
and its subsidiaries to engage in ordinary course of business
commercial transactions with entities in which one or both of the
Sponsors directly or indirectly owns a greater than 10% equity
interest.

                        About Clear Channel

San Antonio, Texas-based CC Media Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB: CCMO) --
http://www.ccmediaholdings.com/-- is the parent company of Clear
Channel Communications, Inc.  CC Media Holdings is a global media
and entertainment company specializing in mobile and on-demand
entertainment and information services for local communities and
premier opportunities for advertisers.  The Company's businesses
include radio and outdoor displays.

Clear Channel reported a net loss of $302.09 million on $6.16
billion of revenue in 2011, compared with a net loss of $479.08
million on $5.86 billion of revenue in 2010.  The Company had a
net loss of $4.03 billion on $5.55 billion of revenue in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed
$16.45 billion in total assets, $24.31 billion in total
liabilities, and a $7.86 billion total shareholders deficit.

                         Bankruptcy Warning

At March 31, 2012, the Company had $20.7 billion of total
indebtedness outstanding.

The Company said in its quarterly report for the period ended
March 31, 2012, that its ability to restructure or refinance the
debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and the
Company's financial condition at that time.  Any refinancing of
the Company's debt could be at higher interest rates and increase
debt service obligations and may require the Company and its
subsidiaries to comply with more onerous covenants, which could
further restrict the Company's business operations.  The terms of
existing or future debt instruments may restrict the Company from
adopting some of these alternatives.  These alternative measures
may not be successful and may not permit the Company or its
subsidiaries to meet scheduled debt service obligations.  If the
Company and its subsidiaries cannot make scheduled payments on
indebtedness, the Company or its subsidiaries, as applicable, will
be in default under one or more of the debt agreements and, as a
result the Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

                           *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter said on Feb. 10, 2012, Fitch Ratings
has affirmed the 'CCC' Issuer Default Rating of Clear Channel
Communications, Inc., and the 'B' IDR of Clear Channel Worldwide
Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Clear
Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., Clear Channel's 89% owned outdoor
advertising subsidiary.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.

Fitch's concerns center on the company's highly leveraged capital
structure, with significant maturities in 2014 and 2016; the
considerable and growing interest burden that pressures free cash
flow; technological threats and secular pressures in radio
broadcasting; and the company's exposure to cyclical advertising
revenue.  The ratings are supported by the company's leading
position in both the outdoor and radio industries, as well as the
positive fundamentals and digital opportunities in the outdoor
advertising space.

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 25, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services affirmed its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating on Texas-
based Clear Channel Communications Inc. and CC Media Holdings.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' rating on CC Media Holdings
Inc. reflects the risks surrounding the long-term viability of its
capital structure--in particular, refinancing risk relating to
significant 2016 debt maturities of about $10 billion.


COCOPAH NURSERIES: Directed to Again Amend Plan Outline
-------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona entered an
order requiring Cocopah Nurseries of Arizona, Inc., et al. to
amend the disclosure statement attached to their proposed
reorganization plan to provide additional details, including:

   1. a detailed description of the assets and their value.  The
Debtors have not disclosed financial information adequate enough
to provide creditors with an accurate portrait of the Debtor's
present condition and relevant financial risks.

   2. a thorough overview of their general business, but the First
Amended Disclosure Statement fails to set out adequate information
about the incidents which precipitated their Chapter 11 filings.

The Court directed the Debtor that the Second Amended Disclosure
Statement must include a detailed liquidation analysis.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on March 4, 2013, the
Debtors' First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan reflects
implementation of the Transition Agreement, which generally
provides for the sale of substantial portions of the Debtors'
assets (referred to as "Transferred Property" under the Transition
Agreement) for the benefit of the Secured Lenders.

The Debtors' remaining assets (referred to as "Excluded Property"
under the Transition Agreement) will serve as the basis to
reorganize and reconstitute the Debtors and provide distributions
to creditors other than the Secured Lenders.

With respect to any Transferred Property that remains as of the
Effective Date: (1) such Transferred Property will be nominally
owned by the Debtor's Estates and will not be owned by TreeCo; and
(2) such property will be subject to disposition under the
Transition Agreement.

Under the Plan, and consistent with the Transition Agreement,
TreeCo will issue: (i) a promissory note (defined in the
Plan as the "GUC Note") for the benefit of holders of Allowed
General Unsecured Claims in Class 6; and (ii) the Lender Notes and
Deficiency Notes for the benefit of holders of Allowed Wells Fargo
General Unsecured Deficiency Claims in Class 3.B and holders of
Allowed Rabobank General Unsecured Deficiency Claims in Class 4.B.
Holders of Allowed Equity Interests in the Debtors will retain the
equity interests in TreeCo in consideration for the Affiliate New
Equity Funding.

Specifically, the Plan provides that:

  * The Allowed Wells Fargo Secured Claims in Class 3.A
will be deemed satisfied by the transfer of the Transferred
Property pursuant to the Asset Sales and the Transition Agreement.
The Allowed Wells Fargo General Unsecured Deficiency Claims in
Class 3.B will be deemed satisfied in exchange for the Lender
Notes and Deficiency Notes to be issued by TreeCo pursuant to the
Transition Agreement.

  * The Allowed Rabobank Secured Claims in Class 4.A
will be deemed satisfied by the transfer of the Transferred
Property pursuant to the Asset Sales and the Transition Agreement.
The Allowed Rabobank General Unsecured Deficiency Claims in
Class 4.B will be deemed satisfied in exchange for the Lender
Notes and Deficiency Notes to be issued by TreeCo pursuant to the
Transition Agreement.

  * On the Effective Date, each holder of an Allowed General
Unsecured Claim in Class 6 will receive a Pro Rata beneficial
interest in the Unsecured Creditors' Trust, which will be vested
with the Trust Assets, including the GUC Note.

The Debtors estimate that the amount of Allowed General Unsecured
Claims will total approximately $4 to $7 million.  Based on such
estimate, recovery percentages for Allowed General Unsecured
Claims are estimated between 37.5% and 21.4%.

  * On the Effective Date, the holders of an Allowed Equity
Interests om Class 7 will provide or cause their Affiliates to
provide, the Affiliate New Equity Funding.  In consideration
therefor, the holders of Allowed Equity Interests will receive or
retain, as applicable, the TreeCo Equity Interests, subject to the
terms of the Restated Governance Documents.

CREEKSIDE SENIOR APARTMENTS: 6th Cir. BAP Affirms Case Dismissal
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Sixth Circuit affirmed a
bankruptcy court order dismissing these Chapter 11 cases:

   Case No.   Debtor
   --------   ------
   10-53019   In re Creekside Senior Apartments, LP
   10-53298   In re Nicholasville Greens, LP
   10-53300   In re Franklin Place Senior Apartments, LP
   10-53301   In re Pennyrile Senior Apartments, LP
   10-53346   In re Park Row Senior Apartments, LP

Each Debtor owns a parcel of real property on which it operates a
low-income housing apartment complex.  The LIHTC Properties were
developed in conjunction with the federal Low-Income Housing Tax
Credit Program.

In order to acquire and/or construct the LIHTC Properties, the
Debtors obtained financing from Bank of America, N.A.  Each
construction loan automatically converted into permanent financing
upon various terms and conditions.  Pursuant to the agreements,
the Bank loaned:

          Creekside Senior Apartments, LP       $1,390,000
          Nicholasville Greens, LP                $760,234
          Franklin Place, LP                      $793,345
          Pennyrile Senior Apartments, LP         $534,242
          Park Row Senior Apartments, LP        $1,034,222

As security for these loans, the Bank took a first mortgage lien
on the Debtors' LIHTC Properties.  All five notes matured before
the Debtors filed for bankruptcy relief.

The Debtors filed their disclosure statement and plan on March 17,
2011.  The plan states that the Bank will have an allowed secured
claim "equal to the fair market value of [the Bank's] interest in
the Estate's interest in such Debtor's Property as determined by
the Court at the Valuation Hearing."

On Jan. 10, 2011, the Bank filed proofs of claim as to each
Debtor:

          Creekside                  $1,272,589
          Nicholasville Greens         $714,857
          Franklin Place               $863,467
          Pennyrile                    $466,294
          Park Row                   $1,037,461

In each proof of claim, the Bank asserted that its claim was fully
secured.

In January 2012, the Bank moved to dismiss or convert the Debtors'
cases and moved for relief from the automatic stay. The Bank
asserted that the Debtors' cases should be dismissed or converted
based on (i) the continuing loss to or diminution of the estate,
coupled with the absence of a reasonable likelihood of
rehabilitation; (ii) the Debtors' inability to effectuate a plan;
and (iii) the filings are considered to be in bad faith under the
factors courts look to under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112.

A copy of the Sixth Circuit BAP's March 25, 2013 Opinion penned by
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel Judge Arthur I. Harris is available at
http://is.gd/mQmVjofrom Leagle.com.

Five single-asset real estate entities, as defined in 11 U.S.C.

Douglas T. Logsdon, Esq. -- dlogsdon@mmlk.com -- serves as counsel
to Creekside.  In its petition, Creekside estimated $500,001 to
$1 million in assets and $1 million to $10 million in debts.  The
petition was signed by Brian Doran, president of sole member of
general partner.

Each of the Debtors is a Kentucky limited partnership with a
corresponding general partner, an administrative limited partner,
and an investor limited partner.  By virtue of the partnership
agreements, the General Partners hold 0.01% of the corresponding
limited partnership's equity interests, the administrative limited
partners hold 0.01% of the corresponding limited partnership's

DIPPIN' DOTS: After Bankruptcy, Aims for Healthier Future
---------------------------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that out
of bankruptcy with a new owner that allowed "The Ice Cream of the
Future" to live on for another day, the unbridled Dippin' Dots is
making an ambitious bounce towards the school cafeteria with a
healthier, fat-free product.

According to WSJ, this spring, Dippin' Dots plans to introduce its
vanilla-and-chocolate YoDots line, which is made with nonfat
yogurt and has only 70 calories per three-ounce pack. A five-ounce
serving of the traditional Dippin' Dots has about 10 grams of fat.

WSJ said Dippin' Dots' network of about 120 franchised stores will
begin selling cups of the mouth-tickling product first but food
engineers at the company's Paducah, Ky., headquarters used
ingredients that comply with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
food standards for schools, enabling the company to pitch its
product to most school districts across the country.

"A lot of kids love the product for the novelty, but there are
still parents who are conscious for the healthier options,"
Dippin' Dots LLC President Scott Fischer told Bankruptcy Beat.

Dippin' Dots, which sells the bulk of its product through 1,400
"direct accounts" for spots like amusements parks, zoos and
baseball stadiums, isn't the only company to try to use healthy
options to find stable financial footing after a Chapter 11
reorganization, WSJ noted, as mall food court fixture Sbarro,
which emerged from bankruptcy protection in late 2011, recently
rolled out its 270-calorie Skinny Slice and buyers who offered to
pay $410 million for the beloved Twinkies' network of bakeries
said told Bankruptcy Beat earlier this month that they could
unveil "more health-conscious" versions of the spongy gold snack
cake.


DUNLAP OIL: Creditor Wants Valuation of Property
------------------------------------------------
Secured creditor Pineda Grantor Trust II asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Arizona Dunlap Oil Company, Inc., to
determine the value of its interest in the property securing its
claim against Dunlap Oil Company, Inc. and Quail Hollow Inn, LLC.

Pineda holds a claim against the Debtors relating to four loans to
Dunlap Oil from Pineda's predecessor, Compass Bank.  As of
Oct. 24, 2012, the date of the filing of the Debtors' bankruptcy
petitions, the outstanding balance of the loans was $6,998,815.
In November 2012, Compass assigned its rights under the loans and
the security thereof to Pineda.

Prior to transferring the notes to Pineda, Compass Bank obtained
appraisals of all of the real property collateral as of Aug. 1,
2012.  The appraisals make the assumption that all property tax
liens on the property have been paid.  In fact, as disclosed in
Debtors' Disclosure Statement, there is approximately $775,000 of
senior real and personal property tax liens encumbering the
properties.  When the tax liens are considered, the appraised
value of Pineda's interest in the real property is $5,230,485.

The Debtors take the position in their Disclosure Statement that
Pineda is actually oversecured, on the basis of their estimate of
the value of the subject properties.  The only information in the
Disclosure Statement that Debtors provide as to the source of
their value estimates is that they are "taken from appraisals
obtained by CCB and Compass, well as management estimates."
Apparently, however, the Debtors are relying on statements
contained in a March 2011 letter concerning the "appraised value"
of the collateral for the loans.

Canyon Community Bank, in a separate filing, joins Pineda Trust
motion.  Canyon Community asks that the Court determine the value
of its interest in the real property owned by Dunlap Oil, and
securing CCB's claims against the Debtors another secured
creditor, Pineda Grantor Trust.

merged into Dunlap Oil, entered into a loan agreement with Canyon
Community, wherein Canyon Community agreed to lend Dunlap Oil
$8,000,000, evidenced by that Promissory Note dated
contemporaneously with the loan agreement.  Dunlap Oil failed to
make certain payments, and perform certain obligations under the
Loan and Note A in breach of the obligations thereunder.

ECCOTEMP SYSTEMS: Files Bankruptcy to Halt Receivership
-------------------------------------------------------
John McDermott, writing for The Post and Courier, reports that
Eccotemp Systems LLC sought Chapter 11 protection on March 22,
about three weeks after it was hit with a $757,000 legal judgment
over its tankless water heaters.

The report says the bankruptcy thwarted a move by lawyers to
appoint a receiver to take over the company.  The report relates
that in a court document, Eccotemp Systems identified the $757,000
jury award as its only debt.

The report recounts that plumbing company, Amo, sued after
installing 75 Eccotemp-made tankless units in new homes in
Richland and Lexington counties.  Eric Bland, Esq., an attorney
representing Amo, said that around 2008 the water heaters began
failing once the outside temperatures dropped.  About 70% of the
purchased units froze, causing pipes to burst in some of the
homes, he said.  The report relates Mr. Bland said he was
preparing to ask a judge March 22 to approve attorney's fees and
to appoint a receiver to run the company.

The report relates Mr. Bland also said he plans to ask that
Eccotemp's filing be dismissed.  "I don't think the Bankruptcy
Court is going to allow them to stay in bankruptcy," he said.

The first hearing is scheduled for April 26 in Charleston,
according to the report.


EDENOR SA: Shareholders' Meeting Scheduled for April 25
-------------------------------------------------------
Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. ("EDENOR"),
will hold a general ordinary and extraordinary shareholders'
meeting on April 25, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. at Avenida del Libertador
6363, First Floor, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

Included as a specific item on the agenda for that Meeting is the
consideration of a mandatory capital stock reduction pursuant to
the terms of Section 206 of Law No. 19,550, which became
applicable upon the issuance of the Financial Statements of EDENOR
as of, and for the year ended, Dec. 31, 2012.

A copy of the Notice is available for free at http://is.gd/KykMUH

                           About EDENOR

Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Edenor S.A. is the largest
electricity distribution company in Argentina in terms of number
of customers and electricity sold (both in GWh and Pesos).
Through a concession, Edenor distributes electricity exclusively
to the northwestern zone of the greater Buenos Aires metropolitan
area and the northern part of the city of Buenos Aires, which has
a population of approximately 7 million people and an area of
4,637 sq. km.  In 2011, Edenor sold 20,077 GWh of energy and
purchased 23,004 GWh of energy, with net sales of approximately
Ps. 2.3 billion and net loss of Ps. 435.4 million.

Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., in Buenos Aires, said that the
delay in obtaining tariff increases, the cost adjustments
recognition ("MMC"), requested in the presentations made until now
by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Adjustment
Agreement ("Acta Acuerdo") and the continuous increase in
operating expenses significantly affected the economic and
financial position of the Company and raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company reported a net loss of ARS435.40 million on net sales
of ARS3.565 billion for 2011, compared with a net loss of
ARS49.05 million on ARS2.174 billion for 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2011, showed
ARS5.744 billion in total assets, ARS4.373 billion in total
liabilities, ARS56.87 million of minority interest, and
stockholders equity of ARS1.314 billion.

                             *   *    *

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 12, 2012, Moody's Latin America
has downgraded Edenor's corporate family and senior unsecured
ratings to Caa1 from B3 and its national scale rating to Ba3.ar
from Baa2.ar. The downgrade has been prompted by Edenor's
continued poor operating performance in 2012 and the ongoing issue
of frozen tariffs.  The downgrade also reflects the liquidity
constraints the company will face over coming quarters should the
frozen tariff position of the company not change.


ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL: Presented at Howard Weil's Conference
--------------------------------------------------------------
Endeavour International Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission a copy of the Company's investor
presentation given at the Howard Weil's 41st Annual Energy
Conference on March 21, 2013, which presentation is available at:

                        http://is.gd/Ev6s3C

                   About Endeavour International

Houston-based Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE: END)
(LSE: ENDV) is an oil and gas exploration and production company
focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of energy
reserves in the North Sea and the United States.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss
of $126.22 million on $219.05 million of revenue, as compared with
a net loss of $130.99 million on $60.09 million of revenue during
the prior year.  The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012,
showed $1.43 billion in total assets, $1.29 billion in total
liabilities, $43.70 million in series C convertible preferred
stock and $99.43 million in stockholders' equity.

                           *    *     *

As reported by the TCR on March 5, 2013, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded Endeavour International Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating to Caa3 from Caa1.  Endeavour's Caa3 CFR reflects its weak
liquidity, small production and proved reserve scale, geographic
concentration and the uncertainties regarding its future
performance given the inherent execution risks related to its
offshore North Sea operations for a company of its size.

In the Feb. 22, 2013, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Houston,
Texas-based Endeavour International Corp. (Endeavour) to 'CCC+'
from 'B-'.  The rating action reflects S&P's expectation that
Endeavour could have insufficient liquidity to meet its needs due
to the delay in production from its Rochelle development.


EUROFRESH INC: Creditors Say Chapter 11 Isn't Federal Foreclosure
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the Eurofresh Inc. unsecured creditors' committee
appears to be turning the bankruptcy into a test case on the
question of whether Chapter 11 is a substitute for foreclosure.

In papers filed in advance of a sale-approval hearing for
March 27, the committee said that "Chapter 11 is not a federal
foreclosure scheme" and bankruptcy cannot be used exclusively for
the benefit of secured creditors.  Unless there's a higher bid at
the auction immediately preceding the March 27 hearing, the
creditors want the judge to withhold approval of selling the
business in exchange for about $51.2 million in secured debt
acquired two days before bankruptcy by an affiliate of NatureSweet
Ltd., a competing tomato grower.

The committee, the report discloses, contends that suppliers and
others providing goods and services for the Chapter 11 effort will
be left holding the bag because there won't be cash available to
pay claims entitled to priority.  The committee doesn't want the
sale approved without payment of all priority claims and a
distribution to unsecured creditors.

                      About EuroFresh Inc.

EuroFresh , Inc., is America's largest greenhouse grower spanning
318 aces of glass covered facilities.  EuroFresh grows premium
quality, great tasting, certified pesticide residue free
greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers year-round.  The 274-acre
flagship facility in Willcox, Arizona, is the world's largest.
There's also a second 44-acre acre property in Snowflake, Arizona.
EuroFresh has 964 employees.

EuroFresh filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No.
13-01125) on Jan. 27, 2013, to complete a sale of the business to
NatureSweet Limited, absent higher and better offers.

NatureSweet and EuroFresh Farms are two of the leading producers
of high-quality tomatoes in North America.

EuroFresh first filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Ariz.
Lead Case No. 09-07970) on April 21, 2009.  Eurofresh exited
bankruptcy in November 2009 following a deal with majority of
their existing debt holders to convert more than $200 million of
debt into equity.

In the new Chapter 11 case, Frederick J. Petersen, Esq., and Isaac
D. Rothschild, Esq., at Mesch, Clark & Rothschild, P.C., serve as
counsel to the Debtors.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the
case has retained Lowenstein Sandler LLP; and Jennings, Strouss &
Salmon, P.L.C., as bankruptcy counsel.


FIRST DATA: Fitch Rates Proposed $500MM Sr. Unsecured Notes 'CCC+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'CCC+/RR6' rating to First Data
Corp.'s proposed offering of $500 million in senior unsecured
notes due 2021. Proceeds from the offering will be used to
refinance a portion of the company's $784 million in 9.875% Senior
Unsecured Notes due 2015.

In conjunction with its offering, First Data announced that
Adjusted EBITDA for the two months ended February 28, 2013
declined by a mid-single digit percentage over the same period
last year. Based on this information, Fitch believes the company's
EBITDA will likely decline by a mid-single digit percentage for
the entire first quarter. The company cited a warmer winter in
2012 as a factor in the relative decline as well as an extra day
in the prior year quarter resulting from the leap year.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Fitch believes that the decline in business during the March
quarter is not completely unexpected as pressures had begun to
show in the December 2012 quarter's results following 12 to 18
months of relative outperformance by the company. First Data still
believes that it can achieve its expected growth targets in 2013.
Fitch believes that short of a continued decline in the business
through the year, the fact that that the company has essentially
extended its maturity wall to at least 2016 at this point gives it
needed time to revive growth. It is also important to note that
First Data is heavily tied to consumer spending which has been
negatively impacted by higher taxes in 2013 but could benefit over
the next few years if inflation picks up.

Fitch continues to rate FDC's IDR at 'B' with a Stable Outlook.
Fitch revised the outlook on FDC to Stable from Negative in
January 2013 based on improved operating results during 2012 as
well as the extension and refinancing of a significant majority of
the company's previously forthcoming term loan maturities in 2014.
For a more detailed rationale behind the rating action, please see
the press release dated Jan. 8, 2013.

Liquidity as of Dec. 31, 2012 was solid with cash of $608 million
($324 million of which was available to the company in the US) and
approximately $1.5 billion available under a $1.52 billion senior
unsecured revolving credit facility, approximately $500 million of
which expires September 2013 and the rest expiring September 2016.
Fitch does not expect the portion of the credit facility expiring
this year to be replaced.

Total debt as of December 31, 2012 was $23.0 billion, which
includes approximately $15.6 billion in secured debt, $4.5 billion
in unsecured debt and $2.5 billion in subordinated debt (all
figures approximate). In addition, a subsidiary of New Omaha
Holdings L.P. (the direct parent company of First Data Corp.) has
outstanding $1.75 billion senior unsecured PIK notes due 2016.
These notes are not obligations of FDC and are not consolidated.

For an in-depth review of Fitch's credit analysis and outlook for
FDC, please see the report published June 6, 2012 below.

Fitch rates FDC as follows:

-- Long-term IDR 'B';

-- $499 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring
    September 2013 'BB-/RR2';

-- $1.0 billion senior secured revolving credit facility expiring
    September 2016 'BB-/RR2';

-- $2.7 billion senior secured term loan B due 2017 'BB-/RR2';

-- $258 million senior secured term loan B due 2018 'BB-/RR2';

-- $750 million senior secured term loan B due 2018 'BB-/RR2';

-- $4.7 billion senior secured term loan B due 2018 'BB-/RR2';

-- $1.6 billion 7.375% senior secured notes due 2019 'BB-/RR2';

-- $510 million 8.875% senior secured notes due 2020 'BB-/RR2';

-- $2.2 billion 6.75% senior secured notes due 2020 'BB-/RR2';

-- $2 billion 8.25% junior secured notes due 2021 'CCC+/RR6';

-- $1 billion 8.75%/10.0% PIK Toggle junior secured notes due
    2022 'CCC+/RR6';

-- $784 million 9.875% senior unsecured notes due 2015
    'CCC+/RR6';

-- $785 million 11.25% senior unsecured notes due 2021
    'CCC+/RR6';

-- $3 billion 12.625% senior unsecured notes due 2021 'CCC+/RR6';
    and

-- $2.5 billion 11.25% senior subordinated notes due 2016
    'CCC/RR6'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The Recovery Ratings (RRs) for FDC reflect Fitch's recovery
expectations under a distressed scenario, as well as Fitch's
expectation that the enterprise value of FDC, and hence recovery
rates for its creditors, will be maximized in a restructuring
scenario (as a going concern) rather than a liquidation scenario.
In deriving a distressed enterprise value, Fitch applies a 15%
discount to FDC's estimated operating EBITDA (adjusted for equity
earnings in affiliates) of approximately $2.4 billion for the LTM
ended September 31, 2012 which is equivalent to Fitch's estimate
of FDC's total interest expense and maintenance capital spending.
Fitch then applies a 6x distressed EBITDA multiple, which
considers FDC's prior public trading multiple and that a stress
event would likely lead to multiple contraction. As is standard
with Fitch's recovery analysis, the revolver is fully drawn and
cash balances fully depleted to reflect a stress event. The 'RR2'
for FDC's secured bank facility and senior secured notes reflects
Fitch's belief that 71%-90% recovery is realistic. The 'RR6' for
FDC's second lien, senior and subordinated notes reflects Fitch's
belief that 0%-10% recovery is realistic. The 'CCC/RR6' rating for
the subordinated notes reflects the minimal recovery prospects and
inherent subordination in a recovery scenario.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead
to positive rating action include:

-- Greater visibility and confidence in the potential for the
    company to access the public equity markets.

Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead
to negative rating action include:

-- The ratings could be downgraded if FDC were to experience
    sustained market share declines or if typical price
    compression accelerates.

-- The ratings could also be downgraded if the US economy were to
    experience a sustained recession.


FIRST DATA: Moody's Assigns Caa1 Rating to New US$500MM Sr. Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Caa1 rating to First Data
Corporation's proposed $500 million senior unsecured notes due
2021. All other ratings, including the B3 corporate family rating
and the stable outlook remain unchanged. The proceeds will be used
to repay a portion of its outstanding 9.875% senior unsecured
notes due 2015.

Ratings Rationale:

The B3 CFR and stable outlook reflect Moody's expectation that
First Data will generate mid-single digit percentage revenue and
EBITDA growth during 2013, as the economy grows slowly and the
shift of payment method to electronic cards from cash and checks
continues globally. However, the resulting cash flow is expected
to remain relatively light in relation to the very large debt
total. Moody's expects First Data will improve its credit metrics
modestly (e.g., Debt to EBITDA of about 9 times), yet these
metrics will remain within the range of those of other companies
also rated at the B3 level.

The principal methodology used in rating First Data was the Global
Business and Consumer Service Industry Methodology published in
October 2010. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default
for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009.

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, First Data Corporation, with about $11
billion of projected annual revenues, provides commerce and
payment solutions for financial institutions, merchants, and other
organizations worldwide.


FOREST CITY: Fitch Assigns 'BB-' Issuer Default Rating
------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned initial credit ratings to Forest City
Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: FCEA/FCEB, collectively FCE) as follows:

-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'BB-';
-- Bank revolving credit facility 'BB-';
-- Senior unsecured notes 'BB-';
-- Convertible senior unsecured notes 'BB-'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The 'BB-' IDR centers on FCE's high leverage and lack of
unencumbered assets. FCE's corporate financing strategy emphasizes
secured debt to isolate refinancing and operating risks to
individual properties as opposed to the general corporate credit
and equity holders. Credit strengths include the quality of FCE's
portfolio, strong relative operating performance, adequate fixed
charge coverage, manageable debt maturity schedule and sufficient
internal liquidity.

The IDR also reflects FCE's significant equity cushion after
adjusting for secured debt that partially mitigates the lack of an
unencumbered asset pool. Further, FCE's REOC structure is worth a
one-notch uplift relative to a comparable REIT, due to FCE's
ability to retain cash for development and other corporate uses.

High Leverage
FCE's leverage was high at 11.9x for the nine months ended Oct.
31, 2012. FCE has made demonstrable progress in its efforts to
delever, as leverage was 13.0x at Jan. 31, 2011. Fitch projects
leverage will improve further to below 11x over the next 24
months, driven by modest same-store net operating income (SSNOI)
growth. Fitch defines leverage as net debt to recurring operating
EBITDA.

Lack of Unencumbered Assets
FCE does not maintain a pool of unencumbered assets which
typically serves as support for IDRs of higher-rated REITs and
REOCs and a source of contingent liquidity. The lack of
unencumbered assets is a material rating constraint partially
mitigated by the existence of a post-secured debt equity cushion.

High-Quality Albeit Idiosyncratic Portfolio
Since its founding, FCE has grown its expertise in developing
large, mixed-use master planned communities, notably those in
densely populated markets. Year-to-date (YTD) net operating income
(NOI) was well-diversified by segment (35% office, 33% retail, 24%
multifamily) and located in strong markets (29% in New York City
with Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, Denver,
Chicago and Philadelphia each comprising 4%-10%).

Strong Operating Performance
FCE's operating performance has been strong on an absolute basis
and relative to its underlying markets and select public peers,
evidencing durable operating cash flows. FCE's SSNOI growth has
averaged 1.9% since 2003 and FCE weathered the recent downturn
with only a single-year decline of 0.8% in 2009. Fitch expects
SSNOI growth will be in the low single digits over the next 12-24
months driven by positive leasing spreads and incremental
occupancy gains.

Proven Track Record Developing Large, Mixed-Use Sites
The company has a proven capacity to acquire, aggregate and
entitle adjoining plots of land and to work with local
municipalities, community groups and government agencies to
receive requisite approvals and tax credit financings. Going
forward, Fitch expects development to be significantly smaller,
due mostly to the Multifamily Development Fund which will allow
FCE to develop off balance sheet and limit its equity requirements
to contributing entitled land. At Oct. 31, 2012, FCE remaining
development commitments of $141 million represent less than 2% of
total assets and can be funded through internal liquidity.

Manageable Debt Maturity Schedule / Sufficient Liquidity
Liquidity coverage of 0.6x is adequate for the rating for the
period Nov. 1, 2012-Jan. 31, 2015 and improves to 2.2x assuming
90% of secured debt is refinanced. Notably, internal liquidity
covers unsecured debt obligations maturing through FY2015 by 3.8x,
thereby limiting the likelihood of a corporate default. In
addition the covenants under the company's credit facility that
limit cash distributions and share buybacks facilitate financial
flexibility.

Fitch defines liquidity coverage as sources of liquidity
(unrestricted cash, availability under the revolving credit
facility, committed but undrawn project financing) divided by uses
(unsecured debt maturities, secured debt maturities, pro-rata
unconsolidated debt maturities, maintenance capital expenditures
and committed development expenditures).

Adequate Fixed Charge Coverage
Fitch projects fixed charge coverage will improve to 1.5x from
1.3x for FY2011 over the next 12-24 months driven by lower fixed
charges from the retirement of all outstanding preferred stock.
Fitch defines fixed charge coverage as recurring operating EBITDA
less straight line rent adjustments and maintenance capital
expenditures divided by total interest incurred and preferred
stock dividends.

RATINGS SENSITIVITIES

Although Fitch does not anticipate positive ratings momentum in
the near-to-medium term, the following factors may result in
positive momentum on the rating and/or Outlook:

-- The maintenance of a sizable unencumbered asset pool;
-- Fitch's expectation of leverage sustaining below 10.0x
    (leverage was 11.9x as of Oct. 31, 2012).

The following factors may have a negative impact on Forest City's
ratings or Outlook:

-- Fitch's expectation of leverage sustaining above 13.0x;
-- Fitch's expectation of fixed charge coverage sustaining below
    1.0x (fixed charge coverage was 1.3x YTD);
-- Material growth in on-balance-sheet development projects;
-- A material investment in a non-real estate project or entity.

FORT DEFIANCE: Dist. Court Keeps Superior Lien on Todd Property
---------------------------------------------------------------
Brenda Tood took issue of the validity of a consensual lien on the
residence she owned, on which she claims a homestead exemption,
and which lien was assigned by the Bank of Nevada to Lowell R.
Rothschild, as Successor Creditor Trustee for Fort Defiance
Housing Corporation, Inc.  The Nevada Bankruptcy Court ruled that
the Creditor Trustee holds a valid, perfected security interest on
the residential property in the amount of $741,548 superior to Ms.
Todd's claim of exemption.  In June 2012, Ms. Todd took an appeal
of the Homestead Order.

In a March 18, 2013 decision, District Judge Kent J. Dawson found
that the Nevada bankruptcy court properly entered the Homestead
Order and accordingly, affirmed.  "[T]he record does not support a
dispute of the material facts.  The undisputed facts establish
that the Creditor Trustee was assigned a consensual lien from Bank
of Nevada.  Both the Bankruptcy Code and Nevada law provide that a
consensual lien is superior to a claim of homestead exemption,"
the judge said.

The parties' relationship arose in December 1999 when FDHC
executed a Promissory Note in the original principal amount of
$328,350 to Mesquite State Bank, in relation to an affordable
housing subsidy agreement.  By October 2000, Brenda Todd entered
into a Hypothecation Agreement with Mesquite, which encumbered her
residential property.  Later on, Bank of Nevada became successor-
in-interest to Mesquite and so the Hypothecation Agreement granted
Bank of Nevada a consensual lien on the Property, as security for
any and all liabilities and indebtedness of FDHC to Mesquite State
Bank.  FDHC defaulted under the terms of the Promissory Note.
Following FDHC's filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Arizona, Bank
of Nevada filed a claim, claiming it was owed $741,548.86, arising
from the Promissory Note.  Then, in July 2009, the Creditor
Trustee and the Bank of Nevada reached a settlement which provided
that Bank of Nevada would have an allowed general unsecured claim
in the amount of $741,548.86 in the FDHC bankruptcy case.  As part
of the settlement with the Creditor Trustee, Bank of Nevada
assigned any and all claims, liens, and other causes of action
against Brenda Todd, including its interest in the Hypothecation
Agreement to the Creditor Trustee.

The appeals case is captioned BRENDA TODD, Appellant, v. LOWELL R.
ROTHSCHILD, as Successor Creditor Trustee for Fort Defiance
Housing Corporation, Inc., Appellee, Case No. 2:12-CV-1092-KJD-GWF

FREESEAS INC: Court Approves Another Settlement with Hanover
------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York,
entered a revised order on March 20, 2013, approving, among other
things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of an exchange
pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in accordance with a stipulation of settlement between
FreeSeas Inc., and Hanover Holdings I, LLC, in the matter entitled
Hanover Holdings I, LLC v. FreeSeas Inc., Case No. 152140/2013.
Hanover commenced the Action against the Company on March 8, 2013,
to recover an aggregate of $1,264,656 of past-due accounts payable
of the Company, which Hanover had purchased from certain vendors
of the Company pursuant to the terms of separate receivable
purchase agreements between Hanover and each of those vendors,
plus fees and costs.  The Assigned Accounts relate to certain
maritime services provided by certain vendors of the Company and
certain financial communications and printing services provided by
a vendor of the Company.  The Order provides for the full and
final settlement of the Claim and the Action.  The Settlement
Agreement became effective and binding upon the Company and
Hanover upon execution of the Order by the Court on March 20,
2013.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement approved by the
Order, on March 20, 2013, the Company issued and delivered to
Hanover 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par
value.  Giving effect to that issuance, the Settlement Shares
represent approximately 9.77% of the total number of shares of
Common Stock presently outstanding.  The Settlement Agreement
provides that the Settlement Shares will be subject to adjustment
on the trading day immediately following the Calculation Period to
reflect the intention of the parties that the total number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued to Hanover pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement be based upon a specified discount to the
trading volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for a
specified period of time subsequent to the Court's entry of the
Order.

FRIENDSHIP DAIRIES: Court Denies AgStar's Motion for Stay Relief
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas
denied Agstar Financial Services, FLCA's motion for relief from
the automatic stay concerning insurance proceeds in the Chapter 11
case of Friendship Dairies.

On Nov. 2, 2012, a Agstar filed a motion for relief from the
automatic stay.  AgStar serves as loan servicer and attorney-in-
fact for McFinney Agri-Finance, LLC.

In the order, the Court stated that:

   -- relief is appropriate under Section 362(d)(1) where there is
a lack of adequate protection, where there is (a) no equity in the
collateral and (b) the collateral is not necessary for an
effective reorganization; and

   -- the value of Agstar's collateral fully secures its claim on
a going concern value basis.

GUITAR CENTER: Names Former Best Buy Canada President as CEO
------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Pratt has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and a member
of Guitar Center, Inc.'s Board of Directors effective April 1,
2013.  Mr. Pratt succeeds Marty Hanaka, the Company's Interim
Chief Executive Officer, who will remain on the Board and assist
in the transition.

Since 2008, Mr. Pratt has served as President and Chief Operating
Officer of leading Canadian consumer electronics retailers Best
Buy Canada and Future Shop.  He began his career more than 20
years ago with Future Shop, which was acquired by Best Buy Canada
in 2001.  During Mr. Pratt's tenure, Best Buy Canada grew from 165
to 275 stores and greatly expanded its e-commerce activities and
web presence.

"There's no question that Guitar Center is North America's leader
in musical instruments and related products, and there's a long
legacy of success that I greatly admire," said Mr. Pratt.  "Over
the last few months, I've had the chance to look at the Company
even more closely, and I came away very impressed with its
dynamic, multi-format business model with strong in-store and web-
based brands.  I'm excited about this opportunity and looking
forward to working with Guitar Center's management team and
dedicated associates to build the business at retail and online."

"Mike is a proven leader in the retail industry with an impressive
track record of success," stated Matt Levin, a Managing Director
at Bain Capital Partners, a leading global private investment firm
which owns the business through an affiliate.  "We are thrilled to
attract an executive of his caliber to lead Guitar Center.  We
also want to thank Marty Hanaka for his efforts in providing
valuable leadership continuity during this interim period."

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Pratt will receive a
base annual salary of $750,000, subject to increase by the Board
of Directors of the Company in its discretion.  Mr. Pratt will be
eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus at a target of 100% of
his annual base salary, and a maximum bonus potential of 200% of
base salary, based on performance criteria established by the
Board for each fiscal year during his employment.  Mr. Pratt will
also receive a signing bonus of $100,000 and an inducement bonus
of up to $296,500 to compensate him for recoupable incentive
compensation for the completed 2012 fiscal year at his former
employer.  Mr. Pratt will receive no additional compensation for
his service as a director of the Company.

                        About Guitar Center

Guitar Center, Inc., headquartered in Westlake Village, Calif., is
the largest musical instrument retailer with 312 stores and a
direct response segment, which operates its Web sites.  It
operates three distinct musical retail business - Guitar Center
(about 70% of revenue), Music & Arts (about 7% of revenue), and
Musician's Friend (its direct response subsidiary with 24% of
revenue).  Total revenue is about $2 billion.

The Company reported a net loss of $236.94 million in 2011, a net
loss of $56.37 million in 2010, and a net loss of $189.85 million
in 2009.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed $1.82 billion
in total assets, $1.94 billion in total liabilities and a $122.39
million total stockholders' deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in its annual report for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2011, that its ability to make scheduled payments or to
refinance its debt obligations depends on the Company and
Holdings' financial and operating performance, which is subject to
prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain
financial, business and other factors beyond its control.  The
Company cannot provide any assurance that it will maintain a level
of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit it to
pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on its
indebtedness.

If the Company cannot make scheduled payments on its debt, the
Company will be in default and, as a result:

   * its debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and
     interest to be due and payable;

   * the lenders under the Company's senior secured credit
     facilities could terminate their commitments to lend the
     Company money and foreclose against the assets securing their
     borrowings; and

   * the Company could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 28, 2011,
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Guitar Center, Inc.'s Caa2
Corporate Family Rating and the $622 million existing term loan
rating of Caa1 due October 2014.  The Probability of Default
Rating was revised to Caa2/LD from Caa2 while the Speculative
Grade Liquidity assessment was changed to SGL-2 from SGL-3.  The
rating outlook remains stable.

The Caa2/LD Probability of Default rating reflects Moody's view
that the extended deferral of interest on the Holdco notes
constitutes a distressed exchange under Moody's definition and
also anticipates that additional exchanges of this nature are
possible over the near term.  The Limited Default designation was
prompted by the company's executed amendment of the HoldCo notes,
which allows for a deferral of 50% of the interest payments for 18
months.  Moody's views this as a distressed exchange that provides
default avoidance.  This LD designation applies to the proposed
follow-on amendment to defer the HoldCo note interest payments by
another six months.  Subsequent to the actions, Moody's will
remove the LD designation and the PDR will be Caa2 going forward.


HAVRE AERIE: Wins Confirmation of Bankruptcy Exit Plan
------------------------------------------------------
Havre Aerie #166 Eagles obtained confirmation of its Chapter 11
plan and approval of the disclosure statement describing the Plan.

Filed on Oct. 24, 2012, the Plan provides for the classification
and treatment of three claim classes:

  -- Class One is the allowed secured claim of Independence Bank.
     The Class One claim will be paid in equal monthly
     installments with interest of 5% per annum over 240 months
     until paid in full.

  -- Class Two is the allowed unsecured non-priority claim of
     KayCee Groven, an employee of the Debtor.  The Class Two
     Claim will be paid $33,412 payable at the rate of $3.25% per
     annum in 10 equal annual installments of $3,391.17 with the
     first payment due one year after the effective date, with
     Groven's judgment to be void, discharged and unenforceable on
     the effective date. On cross examination, the Debtor's
     general manager, Thomas M. Farnham testified that the amount
     of funeral benefits held in trust exceed the amount to be
     paid to Groven under the Plan.

  -- Class Three consists of holders of allowed unsecured non-
     priority claims of less than $10,000.  The Class Three claims
     will be paid in full without interest within 90 days of the
     effective date of the Plan.  Mr. Farnham testified that the
     Debtor will have the ability to make those payments within 90
     days. All of the unsecured nonpriority claims other than
     Groven's are Class 3 claims.  Mr. Farnham testified that the
     Debtor needs to pay its trade creditors in order to continue
     in business, such as the Capital One credit card the Debtor
     uses.  Mr. Farnham distinguished Groven's claim from the
     Class 3 claims because of its much larger amount.

As a non-profit organization, the Debtor has no equity security
holders or shareholders.

Amidst objections from Ms. Groven, the Montana Bankruptcy Court
found that the Plan has been proposed in good faith; at least one
class of impaired claims has accepted the Plan; and the Debtor has
satisfied its burden to show that confirmation is not the followed
by liquidation.  The Debtor has also satisfied all other
requirements for confirmation of the Plan under the Bankruptcy
Code, the Court opined.  Morever, the Court added, the Disclosure
Statement provided adequate information to allow voting class to
make an informed vote.

Decision is available at http://is.gd/h5qNkdfrom Leagle.com.

on April 27, 2012.  A copy of the petition is available at

HERITAGE CONSOLIDATED: Presents Plan for Confirmation
-----------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas was
slated to convene a hearing March 27 to consider confirmation of
Heritage Consolidated, LLC, et al.'s Chapter 11 Plan.  The
confirmation hearing was previously scheduled for Jan. 29.

On Jan. 29, the Court signed an agreed order continuing the
confirmation hearing because the Debtors, the Unsecured Creditors
Committee, Railroad Commission of Texas and the City of Midland
and Federal Insurance Company are negotiating a resolution of the
issues and disputes related to the environmental related claims
asserted against the Debtors.  Objections, if any, to the Plan and
for submitting ballots to accept or reject the Plan will be
extended to a date no later than seven days prior to the
rescheduled confirmation hearing.

Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations, Inc., BJ Services Company,
U.S.A. and Simons Petroleum, Inc., had objected to the First
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, stating that the Plan does
not ensure that holders of Section 6 M&M Secured Claims will
receive a greater recovery under the Plan than the holders of such
claims would receive if the Section 6 Assets were liquidated now
under a chapter 7 liquidation.

The Objecting M&M Lien Creditors are holders of Class 3A Section 6
M&M Secured Claims -- an impaired Class under the First Amended
Plan.

                             The Plan

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 27, 2012, the
Debtors' second amended disclosure statement in support of its
first amended joint plan of reorganization is designed to
accomplish two primary objectives:

    (a) formation of the Liquidating Trust for the benefit of
        Creditors and Equity Interest holders into which
        substantially all of the remaining assets of the Debtors
        will be transferred so that such assets can be held and
        disposed of in such a manner as to maximize their value
        for the benefit of Creditors and Equity Interest holders;

    (b) use of proceeds from the Liquidating Trust Assets to
        satisfy Claims in accordance with a waterfall mechanism
        for Distributions set forth in the Plan and the
        Liquidating Trust Agreement.

The Plan provides for all remaining assets of the Debtors (other
than the Excluded Assets) to be transferred to a Liquidating Trust
which will be managed by the Liquidating Trustee.  The initial
Liquidating Trustee shall be selected by the Committee.  The
Liquidating Trustee shall retain and have all the rights, powers
and duties necessary to carry out his or her responsibilities
under the Plan, and as otherwise provided in the Confirmation
Order and Liquidating Trust Agreement; provided, however, that the
Liquidating Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Creditors'
Oversight Committee on any material decisions, as set forth in
more detail in the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement,
including, without limitation, obtaining unanimous consent of the
Creditors' Oversight Committee with respect to any Drilling
Operations.

The Plan classifies Claims against the Debtors into nine Classes
for purposes of voting on and Distributions under the Plan.  The
various Classes of Claims and Equity Interests and the treatment
provided under the Plan are:

     A. Class 1 (Allowed Ad Valorem Tax Claims) will receive
        distributions from the Liquidating Trust in the amount of
        such holder's Allowed Ad Valorem Tax Claim plus interest
        from the Petition Date until the Claim has been satisfied
        in full.

     B. Class 2 (Allowed Priority Claims) will receive
        Distributions from the Liquidating Trust in the amount of
        the holder's Allowed Priority Claim; or (receive such
        other less favorable treatment that may be agreed upon in
        writing by the holder and the Liquidating Trustee.

     C. Class 3 (Allowed M&M Secured Claim) will receive
        Distributions from the Liquidating Trust in the pro rata
        amount of such holder's Allowed M&M Secured Claim plus
        interest until the Claim has been satisfied in full.

     D. Class 4 (Allowed Other Secured Claims) will receive
        distributions from the Liquidating Trust in the pro rata
        amount of such holder's Allowed M&M Secured Claim plus
        interest until the Claim has been satisfied in full.

     E. Class 5 (Allowed General Unsecured Claims) will receive
        distributions from the Liquidating Trust in the pro rata
        amount of such holder's Allowed M&M Secured Claim plus
        interest until the Claim has been satisfied in full.

     F. Class 6 (Allowed Environmental Claims) will be deemed to
        receive payment in full on the claim through the
        implementation and completion of the Ritter Work Plan
        under the direction of the Liquidating Trustee and paid
        from the proceeds of the Federal Insurance Policies as
        such expenses are incurred until the Ritter Plan is
        satisfied, or until the proceeds of the  Federal Insurance
        Policies have been exhausted, except with respect to TH 6
        remediation expenses which shall be paid by Federal
        Insurance to the extent, if any, ordered by the Bankruptcy
        Court in its resolution of the coverage issues; and (B) be
        paid from the Remediation Reserve established pursuant to
        the Plan to the extent that the Bankruptcy Court
        determines that any specific portion of the Ritter Work
        Plan is not subject to the coverage provided under the
        Federal Insurance Policies.

     G. Class 7 (Allowed CIT Deficiency Claim) will receive
        Distributions from the Liquidating Trust in the amount of
        the holder's Allowed CIT Deficiency Claim.

     H. Class 8 (Allowed Subordinated Claims) will receive
        Distributions from the Liquidating Trust in the amount of
        the holder's Allowed CIT Deficiency Claim.

     I. Class 9 (Allowed Equity Interests) will receive
        Distributions from the Liquidating Trust.

HOWREY LLP: Trustee Files First Unfinished-Business Settlements
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank at Dow Jones' DBR Small Cap reports two law
firms that hired former Howrey LLP partners have agreed to pay
$41,000 to avoid litigation, the first settlements of unfinished-
business claims in the defunct law firm's bankruptcy case.

Maria Chutchian of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that Howrey LLP's
Chapter 11 trustee reached settlements Friday with Holland &
Knight LLP and Fenwick & West LLP resolving unfinished business
claims, though the individual attorneys who left Howrey for the
other two firms are not off the hook with respect to clawback
claims.

Under its deal with trustee Allan B. Diamond, Holland & Knight
will pay $26,197 to the defunct firm's estate and hand over 11
percent of any of the $62,000 that Holland & Knight is still owed
for the former Howrey matter, the report said.

                         About Howrey LLP

Three creditors filed an involuntary Chapter 7 petition (Bankr.
N.D. Calif. Case No. 11-31376) on April 11, 2011, against the
remnants of the Washington-based law firm Howrey LLP.  The filing

HOWREY LLP: Creditor Seeks to File Suit Against Partners
--------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a creditor of Howrey LLP, a liquidating law firm, is
making another stab at filing suit against former partners.  This
time, Howrey Claims LLC wants to file a class lawsuit in federal
district court against former partners, contending they should be
personally liable for the firm's debt.

According to the report, Howrey Claims failed in a prior effort
when it filed suit in bankruptcy court against former partners.
Howrey Claims says it is the owner of claims against the firm.

In the previous attempt, the bankruptcy judge said the claims
could only be brought by the Howrey trustee.  The ruling by the
bankruptcy judge is under appeal.

This time, Howrey Claims wants permission to file a class suit in
federal district court, claiming that some of the former partners
are personally liable for the firm's debt because they treated the
assets as their own, in the process taking out $35.6 million in
distributions. Howrey Claims argues that so-called alter ego
claims belong to individual creditors.

The Howrey trustee is opposing the new effort.  The bankruptcy
judge will decide at an April 4 hearing whether the suit by Howrey
Claims can go head.

The Howrey trustee says the new suit is no different from the
prior suit in bankruptcy court where the judge ruled that the
trustee alone has the right to bring claims.

HOWREY LLP: Partners Are Assailed on Law Firm's Demise
------------------------------------------------------
Jacqueline Palank, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that Washington, D.C., law firm Howrey LLP was in a "death spiral"
for nearly two years, according to new lawsuits that claim the
firm's partners didn't seem to know the depth of its financial
problems.

Six lawsuits filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Francisco this
month by the trustee overseeing Howrey's liquidation paint a bleak
picture of a firm that was fast to expand but slow to adapt,
relying on borrowed money instead of profits to pay its partners,
WSJ said.

The lawsuits, based partly on the firm's books and records, allege
that Howrey's partners weren't aware of the true extent of the
financial woes until it was too late, WSJ added.

More than a dozen of Howrey's former partners couldn't be reached
for comment on the lawsuits, while ex-Chairman Robert Ruyak and
former commercial-litigation Co-Chairman Martin Cunniff declined
to comment, WSJ said.  Sean Boland, Howrey's former vice chair,
said he has "some serious disagreements with the factual
allegations in the complaint." He declined to elaborate.

The lawsuits serve as a warning of the risks that senior lawyers
face as their firms grow bigger and take on more debt, legal-
industry experts say, according to WSJ.

"At many firms that have gone bankrupt, alarm bells went off too
late among the partners about the firm's financial performance,"
Kent Zimmermann, a legal consultant with Zeughauser Group,
speaking about law firms generally, told WSJ.

Legal experts say that when partners don't understand their firm's
financial position, not only can they miss opportunities to shore
up a struggling business but they also risk being on the hook to
clean up the mess, WSJ add.

Howrey's independent and court-appointed bankruptcy trustee, Allan
Diamond, is currently seeking to recover millions of dollars from
certain former partners' new firms based on the profits from the
work they brought to their new firms, according to WSJ.  Ropes &
Gray LLP, Dorsey & Whitney LLP and Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton
LLP, three of the law firms that hired former Howrey partners and
were subsequently sued, declined to comment. The remaining three
law firms that were sued -- Davidson Law Group, Ralls & Niece LLP
and Shearman & Sterling LLP -- didn't respond to multiple requests
for comment, WSJ said.

None of the law firms named in the suits have responded in
bankruptcy court, WSJ related.

INTELSAT SA: To Use Offering Proceeds to Redeem 2017 PIK Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------
Intelsat S.A.'s subsidiary, Intelsat (Luxembourg) S.A., priced
$3.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes,
consisting of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75%
senior notes due 2018 $2 billion aggregate principal amount of
7.75% senior notes due 2021 and $1 billion aggregate principal
amount of 8.125% senior notes due 2023, in each case, at an
offering price of 100%.  Intelsat Luxembourg's obligations under
the notes will be guaranteed by Intelsat S.A.  The notes offering
is expected to close on April 5, 2013, subject to certain
conditions.

The net proceeds from the sale of the notes are expected to be
used by Intelsat Luxembourg to redeem $915 million aggregate
principal amount of its outstanding 11 1/2 / 12 1/2% Senior PIK
Election Notes due 2017 on April 5, 2013, in its previously

Notes, to redeem approximately $754.8 million aggregate principal
amount of its outstanding 11 1/4% Senior Notes due 2017, to pay
related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes,
which may include the repayment, redemption, retirement or
repurchase of additional 2017 Senior Notes or other outstanding
indebtedness of Intelsat Luxembourg and its subsidiaries.

The notes are being offered and sold to qualified institutional
buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and to persons outside the United States in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act and
applicable exemptions from registration, prospectus or like

registered under the Securities Act and, until registered, may not
be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws.  The notes will also not be registered in
any jurisdiction outside of the United States and no action or
steps will be taken to permit the offer of the notes in any such
jurisdiction where any registration or other action or steps would
be required to permit an offer of the notes.

No prospectus as required by the Directive 2003/71/EC (and the
implementing laws and regulations in the relevant member states)
has been filed with respect to the notes and therefore no offers
of notes may be made in any Member States of the European Economic
Area unless made pursuant to an exemption under the Directive
2003/71/EC (and the implementing laws and regulations in the
relevant Member States).

a redemption price equal to 105.75% of the principal amount of the
2017 PIK Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
redemption date on April 20, 2013.

The PIK Notes Redemption is conditioned on the completion of one

LEHMAN BROTHERS: Sues Credit Agricole Over $34 Million Swap
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. began a $34 million
lawsuit in bankruptcy court against Credit Agricole Corporate &
Investment Bank, alleging the failure to make good on a debt owing
under a terminated swap.

The report recounts that the day after Lehman filed for Chapter 11
protection in September 2008, Paris-based Credit Agricole
terminated the swap while saying Lehman was "in the money."  It
later refused to pay the $34 million until all Lehman affiliates
paid everything owing to all affiliates of the French bank.  The
swap was with Lehman Brothers Commercial Corp.  That Lehman entity
owes nothing to Credit Agricole, according to the complaint filed
on March 25 in the New York bankruptcy court.

According to the report, the French bank points to a provision in
the master agreement saying that all obligations among affiliates
could be netted out, thus buttressing Credit Agricole's argument
that it has no liability on the swap unless and until $250 million
in claims against other Lehman companies are paid in full.  Lehman
is relying on a provision in bankruptcy law prohibiting setoffs
except between exactly the same two companies.  The lawsuit will
raise the question of whether parties by contract can effectively
waive a provision in bankruptcy law requiring so-called mutuality
before a setoff is permissible.

Lehman filed the suit in its capacity as administrator under the
Chapter 11 plan confirmed in December 2011 and implemented in
March 2012.

The lawsuit is Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. v. Credit Agricole
Corporate & Investment Bank (In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.),
13-01311, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York
(Manhattan).

                       About Lehman Brothers

the fourth largest investment bank in the United States.  For
more than 150 years, Lehman Brothers has been a leader in the

corporations, governmental units, institutional clients and
individuals worldwide.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Sept. 15, 2008
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 08-13555).  Lehman's bankruptcy
petition disclosed US$639 billion in assets and US$613 billion in
debts, effectively making the firm's bankruptcy filing the
largest in U.S. history.  Several other affiliates followed
thereafter.

Affiliates Merit LLC, LB Somerset LLC and LB Preferred Somerset
LLC sought for bankruptcy protection in December 2009.

The Debtors' bankruptcy cases are handled by Judge James M. Peck.

District Court for the Southern District of New York, entered an
order commencing liquidation of Lehman Brothers, Inc., pursuant
to the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act (Case
No. 08-CIV-8119 (GEL)).  James W. Giddens has been appointed as
trustee for the SIPA liquidation of the business of LBI.

The Bankruptcy Court approved Barclays Bank Plc's purchase of
Lehman Brothers' North American investment banking and capital
markets operations and supporting infrastructure for US$1.75
billion.  Nomura Holdings Inc., the largest brokerage house in
Japan, purchased LBHI's operations in Europe for US$2 plus the
retention of most of employees.  Nomura also bought Lehman's
operations in the Asia Pacific for US$225 million.

Lehman emerged from bankruptcy protection on March 6, 2012, more
than three years after it filed the largest bankruptcy in U.S.
history.  The Chapter 11 plan for the Lehman companies other than
the broker was confirmed in December 2011.

Lehman made its first payment of $22.5 billion to creditors in
April 2012 and a second payment of $10.2 billion on Oct. 1.  A
third distribution is set for around March 30, 2013.  The
brokerage is yet to make a first distribution to non-customers.

and properties.

The Debtor has requested that Wells Fargo consent to the Debtor's
use of cash collateral, and Wells Fargo is willing to consent to
the Debtor's use of cash collateral on an interim basis.

MAGNOLIA INSURANCE: Allianz Gutted Defunct Insurer, Fla. Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
Linda Chiem of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that Florida officials
claim global insurance giant Allianz SE looted the now-defunct
Magnolia Insurance Co. with exorbitant fees for loan and business
transactions that left Magnolia insolvent and drove it into
receivership, ultimately bilking policyholders and creditors out
of $13 million, according to a state court complaint filed Friday.

The report said the Florida Department of Financial Services, the
statutory receiver for Magnolia after it was placed under state
supervision in 2010, claims Allianz and its affiliates engaged in
an elaborate scheme to exercise excessive control to loot
Magnolia's business.

MAX'S DELICATESSEN: Files Bankruptcy to Sell Business
-----------------------------------------------------
Max's Delicatessen, LLC, dba Max's Deli, filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy (Bankr. N.D. Ala. Case No. 13-01176) on March 13, 2013.
A copy of the petition is available at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/alnb13-01176.pdf Steven D. Altmann,
Esq., at Najjar Denaburg, P.C., serves as the Debtor's counsel.

Ryan Poe, writing for Birmingham Business Journal, reports that
Max's Delicatessen LLC filed for bankruptcy as its owner, Steve
Dubrinsky, negotiates the sale of his restaurant.  According to
the report, the restaurant listed assets of less than $50,000 and
debt of nearly $301,000.

The report relates Mr. Dubrinsky said the bankruptcy precedes his
sale of Max's, which should close in about three weeks.  One of
those buyers is Kyung Chung, who owns a couple of restaurant
franchises in town.  Mr. Dubrinsky said he would continue to be
involved in the business as a consultant.  He said the deal with
Mr. Chung may still go through, but another, undisclosed prospect
has recently entered the picture.


MC2 CAPITAL: F. Rogers Corporation's Claim Time-Barred
------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Alan Jaroslovsky denied the request of John
Bittner, the court-appointed receiver for F. Rogers Corporation,
for allowance of his late-filed claim on behalf of the corporation
against MC2 Capital Partners, LLC.

"Bittner has not demonstrated excusable neglect. Even if he had,
it is too late to give him relief because the creditors acted in
reliance on the claims as they existed on the bar date. Even if
there was excusable neglect and even if there had been no
prejudice, allowance of a claim after the bar date is barred by
the terms of the confirmed plan," Judge Jaroslovsky said.

The debtor and the Official Creditors' Committee oppose the
motion.

The debtor's plan of reorganization called for the sale of the
debtor's assets.  Section 8.1 of the plan provided that "Proofs of
Claim, when required, shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no
later than the applicable Claims Bar Date, or such Claims shall be
conclusively deemed barred and disallowed."  The disclosure
statement, approved by the court, told creditors "It is the
Debtor's best estimate that there will be approximately $1,000,000
left over from the Sale Transaction to pay these Claims. Thus,
depending on the final allowed amount of the Class 7 Claims, the
Debtor's best estimate is that these Class 6 Creditors will
receive a dividend which ranges between 20% and 33%."

April 5, 2012 was set as the claims bar date. Because its claim
was listed as disputed, F. Rogers Corporation was required to file
a proof of claim to receive distributions.  On April 5, 2012
(coincidentally, the claims bar date), Mr. Bittner was appointed
receiver for F. Rogers Corporation by a California state court. He
alleges difficulty on obtaining access to the corporate records
and information until April 25, 2012, when he learned about this
bankruptcy and filed a proof of claim.

The plan was confirmed on May 11, 2012. Mr. Bittner did not
contest confirmation.

MODERN PRECAST: Wants Dismissal of West North & West Family Cases
-----------------------------------------------------------------
VCW Enterprises, Inc., fka Modern Precast Concrete Inc., et al.,
have asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases of West North, LLC,
and West Family Associates, LLC.

According to the Debtors, the LLC Debtors' primary assets have
been sold and they have no remaining unliened assets with which to
formulate and confirm a plan.  The Debtors said that dismissal of
the LLC Debtors' cases will minimize administrative costs,
including, but not limited to, continued obligations to pay
minimum US Trustee quarterly fees.

The LLC Debtors' assets, as of the Petition Date, consisted
primarily of interests in two parcels of real estate leased to and
used by VCW in the operation of its business and known generally
as the Easton Facility.  The LLC Debtors each have a checking
account, and West Family owned certain de minimus household
furnishings.  West Family owned 100% of the membership interests
of West North, which the Debtors believe have no value.

The LLC Debtors' Chapter 11 cases were filed in order to permit a
sale of the LLC Debtors' real properties, in connection with the
sale of the Easton Facility and VCW's assets related thereto, so
as to maximize the payment to creditors, including M&T Bank.
After the sale to Oldcastle Precast, Inc., closed on Jan. 25,
2013, the only remaining assets of the LLC Debtors are checking
accounts, de minimus household furnishings and West Family's
membership interests in West North, all of which are subject to
the valid liens of M&T Bank.

The net proceeds of the sales of the LLC Debtors' properties were
paid to M&T Bank, which is acknowledged to be a properly perfected
secured creditor of the Debtors, and maintains a first-priority
lien in substantially all of the Debtors' assets, including those
of the LLC Debtors.

The Debtors consulted with counsel for the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors and M&T Bank, both of whom have indicated that
they do not oppose dismissal.  Roberta A. DeAngelis, the U.S.
Trustee for Region 3, said in a court filing dated Feb. 25, 2013,
that she doesn't oppose the dismissal, and requests that the Court
condition the dismissal on the filing of all operating and other
reports to show all financial activity through the closing of the
sale and the transfer of the LLC Debtors' assets.

MONTANA ELECTRIC: Trustee Wants Morgan Stanley Deal Kept Secret

reorganized Southern Montana will pay to the firm Morgan Stanley
Capital Group for electricity for 10 years.

According to the report, Mr. Freeman argues that price disclosure
will allow others to "get ahead of the market," by buying up all
the power available in the limited market, pushing the price
higher and costing the co-op millions more.

Tehr report relates the city of Great Falls and PPL EnergyPlus,
which has $374 million in claims at stake in the bankruptcy case,
object.  A PPL attorney, according to the report, said there is a

                    About Navistar International

Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) --
http://www.Navistar.com/-- is a holding company whose
subsidiaries and affiliates subsidiaries produce International(R)
brand commercial and military trucks, MaxxForce(R) brand diesel
engines, IC Bus(TM) brand school and commercial buses, Monaco RV

billion for the year ended Oct. 31, 2012, compared with net income
attributable to the Company of $1.72 billion during the prior
year.

The Company's balance sheet at Oct. 31, 2012, showed $9.10 billion
in total assets, $12.36 billion in total liabilities and a $3.26
billion total stockholders' deficit.

                          *     *     *

In the Aug. 3, 2012, edition of the TCR, Moody's Investors Service
lowered Navistar International Corporation's Corporate Family
Rating (CFR), Probability of Default Rating (PDR), and senior note
rating to B2 from B1.  The downgrade of Navistar's ratings
reflects the significant challenges the company will face during
the next eighteen months in re-establishing the profitability and
competitiveness of its US and Canadian truck operations in light
of the failure to achieve EPA certification of its EGR emissions
technology, the significant reductions in military revenues and
substantially higher engine warranty reserves.

As reported by the TCR on June 13, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its ratings on Navistar International Corp.,
including the corporate credit rating to 'B+', from 'BB-'.  "The
downgrade and CreditWatch placement reflect the company's
operational and financial setbacks in recent months," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sol Samson.

As reported by the TCR on Jan. 24, 2013, Fitch Ratings has
affirmed the Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) for Navistar
International Corporation and Navistar Financial Corporation at
'CCC' and removed the Negative Outlook on the ratings.  The
removal reflects Fitch's view that immediate concerns about
liquidity have lessened, although liquidity remains an important
rating consideration as NAV implements its selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) engine strategy. Other rating concerns are already
incorporated in the 'CCC' rating.

NNN CYPRESSWOOD: Hearing on Disclosure Statement Set for April 10
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois
has set for April 10, 2013, at 10:30 a.m. the hearing on the
adequacy of NNN Cypresswood Drive 25 LLC's disclosure statement.

The Debtor filed a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement
on March 4, 2013.  The Plan provides for the "roll-up" of the
tenant-in-common interests of 33 single purpose limited liability
companies, including the Debtor, in improved real property located
in Houston, Texas, into membership interests in a single limited
liability company.

A copy of the Disclosure Statement is available for free at:

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

Under the Plan, administrative expense claims will be paid in
full.  General unsecured claims of $8,306 will be paid 50% within
six months of the plan effective date and the other 50% within 12
months of the Effective Date.

The secured claim of WBCMT 2007-C33, LLC, will be paid through
monthly payments of interest and principal amortized over 10 years
and beginning on the 10th day of the month after the Effective
Date.  All payments will be made by the 10th business day of that
month.  Monthly payments will be in the amount of $43,575.  WBCMT
will retain its existing lien against the Debtor's four-story
office building and an adjacent one-story building zoned for
restaurant use.  The claim will balloon and be fully due and
payable 120 months from the Effective Date.

The secured claim of Jemm Investments, Inc., which is allowed in
the amount of $6,636, will be paid 50% within 12 months of the
Effective Date and the other 50% within 24 months of the Effective
Date.

The unsecured claim of WBCMT will be paid 60%.

Monthly payments due on account of the claims will be made from
the net operational profits of the entire Property, after
allowance for operational expenses and reserves.

The Debtor will supplement the cash flow with an additional cash
contribution of at least $250,000.  The New Value Contribution
will be supplied from non-Debtor parties, including Breakwater
Equity Partners and some or all of the non-Debtor TICs or their
interest holders, in exchange for preferred equity in the Debtor.
The Debtor will use the New Value Contribution to satisfy
administrative claims and the WBCMT Unsecured Claim, and to
provide reserves for the Property to ensure that all claims are
paid even if the net operational profits of the Property cannot do
so.  The parties contributing the New Value Contribution will
have preferred equity in the Debtor in proportion to their
contribution of the New Value Contribution.

TICs will receive general limited liability company membership
interests in the Reorganized Debtor consistent with the proportion
of their interests in the Property prior to the Effective Date.

Over the term of the Plan, after 10 years, the Property will
either be refinanced or sold to pay off any remaining secured
claim of WBCMT.  Surplus funds will then be applied against any
outstanding WBCMT Unsecured Claim for a cumulative payout to WBCMT
of $17,500,000.

The Debtor by a simple majority vote pursuant to the general
membership interests of its members will designate a management
team of three members to serve as the disbursing agent for the
purpose of making all distributions provided for under the Plan.
The Managers will serve without bond, and won't receive any
compensation for management and disbursement services rendered and
expenses incurred pursuant to the Plan.  The various duties of the
Managers may be delegated to a new property manager or asset
manager retained by the Debtor upon the Effective Date.

OTELCO INC: Takes First Step Toward Ch. 11 Restructuring
--------------------------------------------------------
Jamie Santo of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that Otelco Inc. won
approval Tuesday for a series of first-day pleadings designed to
keep the wireline telecommunications provider running smoothly as
it proceeds through Chapter 11 with a prepackaged, preapproved
plan that promises to slash its $271 million debt in half.

The BLaw360 report related that signed by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Mary F. Walrath, the motions authorize Otelco to use cash
collateral, pay taxes and employee wages, and keep utilities
content during what the Alabama-based company anticipates will be
a quick trip through Delaware bankruptcy court.

                        About Otelco Inc.

Otelco Inc. and 16 affiliated Debtors filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-10593) on March 24, 2013.

Otelco filed for chapter 11 in order to implement its "pre-
packaged" financial restructuring plan -- a plan that already has
been accepted by 100% of the Company's senior lenders, as well as
holders of over 96% in dollar amount of Otelco's senior
subordinated notes who cast ballots.  Otelco's restructuring plan
will strengthen the Company by deleveraging its balance sheet and
reducing its overall indebtedness by approximately $135 million.

Because of the overwhelming support Otelco's plan has received
from both its secured and unsecured creditors (including holders
of the Company's IDS units), Otelco anticipates that the Company
will be able to complete its financial restructuring at the end of
the second quarter of 2013.

The Company's restructuring counsel is Willkie Farr & Gallagher
LLP and its financial advisor is Evercore Partners.  The
restructuring counsel for the administrative agent for the senior
lenders is King & Spalding LLP and its financial advisor is FTI
Consulting.

Otelco Inc. is a wireline telecommunication services provider in
Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, Vermont
and West Virginia.

The Plan provides for:

   -- Each holder of the senior secured term loan claims will
receive its pro rata share of (i) term loan obligations of the
Company under the new senior secured credit facility of not more
than $142 million, maturing on April 30, 2016; (ii) a cash payment
of no less than $20 million and (iii) the New Class B Common Stock
representing 7.5% of the total economic and voting interest in
reorganized Otelco,.

  -- Allowed senior secured revolving loan claims, as amended,
will be reinstated, with availability of up to $5 million,
pursuant to the new senior secured credit facility agreement and
each holder of the Company's outstanding subordinated notes to
receive a pro rata share of the New Class A Common Stock.

   -- Allowed general unsecured claims will be reinstated and paid
in full, provided, that, if holders of Class 5 subordinated notes
claims vote to reject the Plan, holders of allowed general
unsecured claims shall receive a cash payment equal to 40.5% of
the allowed amount of such general unsecured claim.

   -- All of the Company's existing equity interests will be
cancelled.


OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING: Wins in Alaska Tanker & Securities Lawsuits
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. won two lawsuits
begun this year in bankruptcy court.  One preserves its ownership
interest in a company named Alaska Tanker Co. and the other at
least temporarily stops a securities class-action suit against
officers and directors.

The report notes that OSG's $300 million in 8.125% senior
unsecured notes due in 2018 last traded March 26 for 77 cents on
the dollar, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.  The notes have more
than tripled in value since Nov. 14 and are up 80% this month
alone.

The report recounts that in February, OSG sued BP Plc to prevent
the termination of OSG's interest in Alaska Tanker, which manages
ships transporting BP oil from Alaska to the U.S. West Coast.  By
settlement, BP agreed not to attempt to divest OSG of its
ownership interest so long as the bankruptcy is pending.

In January, OSG sued to halt four securities class-action suits
against company officers and directors. This week, the bankruptcy
judge halted the suits against company executives for six months.
In the meantime, the executives can move ahead with a motion to
dismiss the suit.  If they win, the plaintiffs can appeal.  OSG
can return to court seeking to continue the freeze on the
litigation, according to the report.

OSG owns 37.5% of Alaska Tanker, just like BP.  In November, after
OSG's Chapter 11 filing, BP gave notice that OSG lost its right to
manage Alaska Tanker and that the business would be liquidated and
wound up.  OSG responded by starting a lawsuit in bankruptcy court
claiming that London-based BP violated the so-called automatic
stay.

to return 100% for the secured claims of Omtammot, LLC and holders
of unsecured claims against IEAM.

A Modified Third Amended and Further Restated Consolidated Plan of
Reorganization was filed March 6, 2013 to incorporate certain
changes and corrections to the version of the Plan filed in
December, based, in part, on comments from the United States
Trustee and issues raised by Omtammott in its objection to the
Disclosure Statement and other filings and developments since that
date.

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, the holder of the
Class D Allowed Omtammot Secured Claim will receive payment of
100% of its Claim.  At the election of the holder of the secured

allowed in an amount in excess of $1,825,000, Cash in the amount
equal to 100% of the difference between the amount of the Allowed
Secured Claims and $1,825,000 ("Option A") or

  (b) Cash in the amount determined by the Court to equal the
amount of the Allowed Omtammot Secured Claim ("Option B").

In the event the holder of the Omtammot Secured Claim does not
indicate its election as provided above, it will be deemed to have
elected to take Option A.

With respect to Omtammot's Deficiency claim (Class H), which the
Debtors value at $2.98 million, on the Effective Date, the Holder
thereof will receive payment of 100% of the claim: (i) Cash in an
amount equal to 100% of the amount of the claim; and (ii) the
allowed amount, if any, will include interest at 0.16% p.a.,
running from the Petition Date through the Effective Date.  Any
proceeds received by Reorganized IEAM from the Crum & Foster
adversary proceeding will be applied in the reduction of the
payments to be made to the holder of the deficiency claim.

On the Effective Date, each holder of a general unsecured claim
against IEAM (Class E) will receive cash in an amount of 65% of
the said claim; and cash in an amount of 35% of the said claim
together with interest at 3% p.a. from the effective date on the
one year anniversary of the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date, each holder of a general unsecured claim
against IEAM subsidiaries (Class 5) will receive Cash in an amount
of 35% of the amount of the claim.

No later than 14 days prior to the voting deadline, the Debtors
will submit to the court and file the Plan Supplement, which will
include a term sheet setting forth the terms and conditions of an
Exit Financing to be provided to Reorganized IEAM, which exit
financing will be in an amount which, when combined with IEAM's
cash is sufficient to make all of the payments due on the
effective date of the Plan and under the promissory notes issued
pursuant to the Plan.

Consolidated Plan is available at:

RADNET MANAGEMENT: Moody's Assigns 'Ba3' Rating to Upsized Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 rating to RadNet
Management, Inc.'s proposed upsized $389 million senior secured
term loan.

Concurrently, Moody's affirmed all existing ratings including the
B2 Corporate Family Rating, B2-PD probability of default rating,
Ba3 rating on the revolving credit facility, and Caa1 rating on
the existing $200 million of senior unsecured notes. Additionally,
Speculative Grade Liquidity (SGL) rating of SGL-2 was affirmed.
The outlook remains stable.

RadNet is upsizing its existing $350 million term loan by $40
million in order to term out its revolving credit facility that as
of December 31, 2012 had $33 million of advances outstanding. The
transaction also allows for term loan repricing that is expected
to result in 75-100 basis point reduction in interest rates. The
interest savings are expected to amount to between $2-$3.5 million
per annum. EBITA to interest expense is projected to increase to
1.3 times in 2013 from 1 times in 2012.

The affirmation of the B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects Moody's
expectation for stable credit metrics over the next 12 to 18
months.

The following rating actions were taken (LGD point estimates are
subject to change and all ratings are subject to review of final
documentation):

The following ratings were assigned:

$389.125 million senior secured term loan, due October 2018,
assigned Ba3 (LGD2, 29%).

The following ratings were affirmed:

Corporate Family Rating, affirmed at B2;

Probability of default rating, affirmed at B2-PD;

$101.25 million senior secured revolving credit facility, due
October 2017, affirmed at Ba3; LGD rate changed to LGD2, 29% from
LGD2, 28%;

$200 million senior unsecured notes, due April 2018, affirmed at
Caa1; LGD rate changed to LGD5, 84% from LGD5, 83%;

Speculative Grade Liquidity rating, affirmed at SGL-2.

The following rating was affirmed and will be withdrawn at the
close of the transaction:

$349.125 million senior secured term loan, due October 2018,
affirmed at Ba3 (LGD2, 28%).

Ratings Rationale:

The B2 Corporate Family Rating incorporates the expectation that
adjusted debt-to-EBITDA will remain between 5-5.5 times range over
the next 12 to 18 months as the majority of free cash flow is
anticipated to be used for growth capital expenditures and
acquisitions in existing markets. Further, the rating reflects the
uncertain reimbursement environment. However, RadNet's leading
position in certain states may increase its negotiating leverage
with commercial payors. In addition, RadNet's strategy to become
an all-encompassing provider of diagnostic imaging services allows
the company to optimize efficiencies that support same center
volume growth and margin stability.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation for revenue growth
in the 1-2% range. The stable outlook also considers the
expectation for disciplined acquisitions of imaging centers and
related services that do not result in increased debt leverage. In
addition, the outlook reflects the expectation that the company
will maintain a good liquidity profile.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company's expansion and
growth initiatives result in a sustained increase in revenue and
profitability. There could also be upward pressure on the ratings
if adjusted free cash flow-to-debt was to be sustained above 5% on
a projected basis and adjusted debt-to-EBITDA was to be sustained
below 4.0 times on a projected basis. Furthermore, visibility in
the reimbursement environment would be necessary in order for the
ratings to be upgraded.

The ratings would be downgraded if the company's liquidity
position was to weaken significantly; continued acquisition
activity resulted in a sustained increase in adjusted debt
leverage above 6.0 times and/or decline in adjusted EBITA-to-
interest expense to below 1.0 times. In addition, any adverse
developments in the reimbursement environment that would
materially impact RadNet's financial position could also be a
cause for a downgrade.

The principal methodology used in rating RadNet Management, Inc.
was the Global Healthcare Service Providers Industry Methodology
published in December 2011. Other methodologies used include Loss
Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the
U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

RadNet (NASDAQ:RDNT), headquartered in Los Angeles, California,
provides diagnostic imaging services through a network of 246
diagnostic imaging facilities located in seven states, primarily
in California, Maryland, and New York. Revenues and net income in
2012 were $673 million and $65 million.

READER'S DIGEST: Evercore Group Approved as Investment Banker
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert D. Drain authorized RDA Holding Co. and its
affiliates to employ Evercore Group L.L.C., as investment bankers.

Evercore has agreed to provide these services:

     a) Reviewing and analyzing the Debtors' business, operations
        and financial projections;

     b) Advising and assisting the Debtors in a Restructuring,
        Financing and/or Sale transaction if the Debtors determine
        to undertake such a transaction;

     c) Providing financial advice in developing and implementing
        a Restructuring, which would include (i) assisting the
        Debtors in developing a restructuring plan or plan of
        reorganization, including a plan of reorganization
        pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) advising the Debtors
        on tactics and strategies for negotiating with various
        stakeholders regarding the Plan; (iii) providing
        testimony, as necessary, with respect to matters on which
        Evercore has been engaged to advise the Debtors in any
        proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code that are pending
        before a court exercising jurisdiction over the Debtors;
        and, (iv) providing the Debtors with other financial
        restructuring advice as Evercore and the Debtors may deem
        appropriate.

     d) If the Debtors pursue a Financing, assisting the Debtors
        in (i) structuring and effecting a Financing; (ii) i
        Identifying potential Investors and, at the Debtors'
        request, contacting such Investors; and (iii) working with
        the Debtors in negotiating with potential Investors.

     e) If the Debtors pursue a Sale, assisting the Debtors in (i)
        structuring and effecting a Sale; (ii) identifying
        interested parties and/or potential acquirors and, at the
        Debtors' request, contacting such interested parties
        and/or potential acquirors; and, (iii) advising the
        Debtors in connection with negotiations with potential
        interested parties and/or acquirors and aiding in the
        consummation of a Sale transaction.

Evercore agreed to this compensation package:

     a) Monthly Fee: $150,000 until consummation of a
        Restructuring or termination.

     b) Restructuring Fee: $4,750,000 upon consummation of a
        Restructuring.

     c) Financing Fee: A percentage upon consummation of any
        Financing.

     d) Sale Fee: The greater of $1,000,000 and 1.25% of Aggregate
        Consideration, upon consummation of any Sale.

     e) Multiple Fees: If a single transaction is both a
        Restructuring and a Sale, only the greater of the
        resulting Restructuring Fee and Sale Fee will be due.
        Otherwise, single (or multiple) transactions may give rise
        to multiple fees.

     f) Pre-Arranged Plan: If pre-packaged or other pre-arranged
        Plan will result in a Restructuring, Financing or Sale,
        then half of the related fees are due upon execution of
        definitive agreements or delivery of binding consents with
        respect to such Plan, with the balance due upon Plan
        consummation.

     g) Crediting: 50% of Monthly Fees actually paid and finally
        approved plus $450,000 will be credited once against any
        Restructuring, Financing or Sale Fee.  If a series of
        transactions results in both a Restructuring Fee and a
        Sale Fee being paid, then 50% of the lesser such fee will
        be credited against the greater fee.  If a pre-arranged
        Plan is not later consummated, then any initial fees paid
        on account of that Plan may be credited against any
        subsequent fees that may be due.

     h) Expenses: The Debtors will reimburse Evercore's reasonable
        and documented expenses, including reasonable and
        documented legal expenses.

To the best of the Debtors' knowledge, Evercore is a
"disinterested person," as that phrase is defined in Bankruptcy
Code Sec. 101(14), as modified by Bankruptcy Code Sec. 1107(b),
and does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the
estates.

restructuring. Under the plan, the Debtor will issue the new stock
to holders of senior secured notes.

READER'S DIGEST: Authorized to Hire FTI as Financial Advisor
------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has authorized RDA Holding Co. to employ FTI
Capital Advisors, LLC, as international financial advisor and
investment banker, nunc pro tunc to the Petition Date.

FTI will provide financial advisory, investment banking and
restructuring services with respect to the Debtors' international
operations pursuant to the Engagement Letter.

The Debtors require the services to be provided by FTI
throughout these chapter 11 cases.  The services that FTI has
provided, and will continue to provide, to the Debtors are
necessary to enable the Debtors to maximize the value of their
estates.

Although the Debtors have retained Evercore as their investment
banker, the retention explicitly carves out services related to
the Debtors' direct and indirect foreign subsidiaries.  FTI will
use reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Debtors' other
retained professionals, including Evercore, to avoid any
unnecessary duplication of services.

The Debtors will compensate FTI in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Engagement Letter, which provide for this
compensation structure:

     a. Retainer: The Debtors have paid FTI non-refundable
        retainers totaling $300,000.

     b. Success Fees: Upon the closing of the first sale
        transaction, the Debtors will pay FTI a success fee equal
        to the greater of (i) $500,000 and (ii) (x) the product of
        the Gross Value of the transaction and 1% (y) less
        $300,000.  To the extent any additional transactions
        close, the Debtors will pay FTI additional Success Fees if
        the sum of the Gross Value of all transactions exceeds $80
        million, and in such case, the Success Fee for each
        transaction shall equal 1% of the Gross Value of all
        transactions which have closed less all prior Success Fees
        and retainers paid.

     c. Post-December 1, 2012 Advisory Fees: In addition to the
        retainer amounts previously paid and the Success Fees, FTI
        had charged the Debtors for advisory services provided
        from December 1, 2012, on an hourly rate schedule with
        rates ranging from $315 for a consultant to $895 per hour
        for a senior managing director.  The range of hourly
        billing rates for FTIC employees based outside the U.S.
        effective January 1, 2013 is from $280 for an analyst to
        $1,110 for a senior managing director.

During the 90-day period prior to the bankruptcy filing date, FTI
received from the Debtors (i) the sum of $500,000 as "Cash on
Account" as an advance payment for its fees for services and
reimbursable expenses and (ii) payments aggregating $1,040,240.73
in respect of invoices for services and reimbursement of expenses.
On February 15, 2013, FTI applied $364,314.10 of the Cash on
Account to unpaid invoices for services and reimbursement of
expenses.  As of the Petition Date, FTI has a remaining Cash on
Account credit balance in the amount of $135,685.90.

To the best of the Debtors' knowledge, FTI Consulting is a
"disinterested person," as that phrase is defined in Bankruptcy
Code Sec. 101(14), as modified by Bankruptcy Code Sec. 1107(b),
and does not hold or represent an interest adverse to the
estates.

READER'S DIGEST: Can Pay Foreign Creditors and Critical Vendors
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Bankruptcy Court has authorized RDA Holding Co. and its
affiliates to pay some or all of the Trade Claims to foreign
creditors and other critical vendors.  However, the Court directs
that (i) the total amount of Trade Claims to be paid to Foreign
Vendors shall not exceed $600,000 in the aggregate; (ii) the total
amount of Trade Claims to be paid to Other Critical Vendors shall
not exceed $1,500,000 in the aggregate; and (iii) the Debtors
shall pay Other Critical Vendors' prepetition claims only to the
extent that the Debtors determine that payment of such claims will
provide a net benefit to the Debtors and their chapter 11 estates.

REVEL ATLANTIC: Moody's Cuts CFR to 'C' After Bankruptcy Filing
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Probability of Default
Rating for Revel Atlantic City, LLC to D-PD following the
company's March 25, 2013 voluntary filing for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code.

Moody's also lowered the company's Corporate Family Rating to C
from Caa3 and its first lien secured term loan rating to C from
Caa2.

Shortly following these rating actions, Moody's will withdraw all
of Revel's ratings.

The following ratings have been downgraded and will be withdrawn:

  Corporate Family Rating to C from Caa3

  Probability of Default Rating to D-PD from Caa3-PD

  $900 million senior secured 1st lien term loan due 2017 to C
  (LGD 5, 75%) from Caa2 (LGD 3, 38%)

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Gaming Industry Methodology published in December 2009. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

Revel Atlantic City, LLC is a privately held company that
developed Revel Resort, a $2.4 billion entertainment resort and
casino located on the Boardwalk in the south inlet of Atlantic
City, NJ. Revel opened in May 2012.


ROBERTS HOTELS: 3 Hotels Sold for $5.2MM; Sale Hearing on April 3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa Brown, writing for The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports that
three out-of-state hotels owned by St. Louis development firm
Roberts Cos. were sold in an online auction March 19 for a
combined $5.2 million:

    Location of Hotel   Buyer              Purchase Price
    -----------------   -----              --------------
    Tampa, Fla.         Harishyan Singh     $1.14 million
    Spartanburg, S.C.   Sumitra Arora       $2.5  million
    Marietta, Ga.       Edgar Olivares,     $1.6  million

The report says each hotel had four bidders, according to court
filings. A hearing is set for April 3 in St. Louis to finalize the
sales.

The report notes a Roberts-owned hotel in Houston related to the
lawsuit sold in February for $2.1 million to Joya Hospitality LLC.
The other two hotels are located in Dallas and Shreveport, La.

The report recounts six hotels owned by Roberts Cos. filed for
bankruptcy in 2012 that were related to a $34 million lawsuit Bank
of America filed the same year seeking repayment on loans made to
Roberts-owned entities that were in default.  Last year, the
Roberts brothers agreed to a consent judgment with Bank of America
for $35.9 million, and agreed to sell the six hotels related to
the suit to pay for the judgment.

Mississippi Business Journal reports that a court-appointed
receiver is in talks with several prospective buyers of downtown
Jackson's Roberts Vista Hotel, currently closed and awaiting
repairs from water damage.  The Jackson property, known for
several decades as The Walthall, is in receivership after an
attempted bankruptcy filing on the property by Mike and Steve
Roberts, principals of Roberts Hotel Group.

                       About Roberts Hotels

Hotel portfolios owned by St. Louis, Mo.-based Roberts Cos. have
filed separate Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions.  The hotels are
among those involved in a lawsuit Bank of America filed against

RYMAN HOSPITALITY: Moody's Assigns First-Time 'Ba3' CFR
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a corporate family rating of
Ba3 to Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. and a senior unsecured
rating of B1 to its proposed debt offering currently being
marketed. The rating outlook is stable. This is the first time
Moody's has rated Ryman Hospitality.

Ratings Rationale:

The Ba3 corporate family rating reflects Ryman's profitable
portfolio of four large, group-oriented hotels with resort-style
amenities, its plans to grow through acquisitions and joint
ventures rather than ground-up development of additional large-
scale properties and its conservative credit profile. Moody's also
notes that Ryman's management agreement with Marriott
International (rated Baa2/stable) brings it together with one of
the leading hotel operators. Furthermore, Moody's acknowledges
that Ryman's focus on group business gives its earnings more
visibility and predictability than is typical for lodging assets.

Positively, Ryman's credit profile is conservative with 29.3%
effective leverage, 3.8x net debt/EBITDA and 4.1x fixed charge
coverage at YE2012. Prior to its REIT conversion in 2012, Ryman
(f/k/a Gaylord Entertainment) grew primarily through ground-up
development of large, resort-style assets. The REIT stated that
this is no longer its strategy and that it plans growing through
acquisitions and possibly joint ventures instead. Moody's views
this strategic shift as a plus due to reduced execution risk
associated with this approach versus large, ground-up development.

Counterbalancing these strengths, Ryman has no unencumbered assets
since substantially all of its assets are pledged to the senior
secured credit facility. In addition, with only four large hotels,
Ryman has significant asset concentration. Furthermore, all of its
assets are managed by one hotel operator (Marriott), adding to the
concentration risk. Lastly, Ryman has a $360 million convertible
note maturing in October 2014.

The stable rating outlook incorporates Moody's expectation that
Ryman Hospitality will maintain its superior operating performance
relative to its property segment and conservative development
posture. Moody's also anticipates that the REIT will retain if not
strengthen its debt protection metrics.

Positive rating movement would depend on asset diversification, as
well as establishment and maintenance of an unencumbered asset
pool. Good liquidity would also be needed for an upgrade.

Downgrade pressure would occur from leverage increasing closer to
40% of gross assets or debt/EBITDA over 4.5x, as well as fixed
charge coverage declining closer to 2.5x. Any liquidity challenges
or strategic shifts with respect to development would also be
viewed negatively, as would an increasing debt-financed stock
repurchase program.

Senior unsecured notes are rated one notch below the corporate
family rating because substantially all assets are pledged to the
senior secured credit facility.

The following ratings were assigned with a stable outlook:

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. -- corporate family rating at
Ba3

Ryman Hotel Properties, LP -- senior unsecured debt at B1

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Rating Methodology for REITs and Other Commercial Property Firms
published in July 2010.

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. [NYSE: RHP] is a real estate
investment trust headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, and
specializing in group-oriented, destination hotel assets in urban
and resort markets. The REIT's owned assets include a network of
four upscale, meetings-focused resorts totaling 7,797 rooms that
are managed by Marriott International, Inc. under the Gaylord
Hotels brand. Other owned assets managed by Marriott
International, Inc. include Gaylord Springs Golf Links, the
Wildhorse Saloon, the General Jackson Showboat and The Inn at
Opryland, a 303-room overflow hotel adjacent to Gaylord Opryland.
The REIT also owns and operates a number of media and
entertainment assets. The REIT's assets were $2.5 billion and its
equity was $854 million at December 31, 2012.


SAMSON MANUFACTURING: Gun Accessories Maker Files Bankruptcy
------------------------------------------------------------
Bob Sanders, writing for New Hampshire Businesss Review, reports
that Samson Manufacturing Corp., a manufacturer of gun accessories
that moved to Keene from Massachusetts last year with a federal
grant and the promise of new jobs, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection March 25 to forestall a $933,000 judgment awarded in an
intellectual property dispute with Troy Industries, a
Massachusetts competitor.

Samson is owned by Scott Samson and his attorney Peter Tamposi.

The report relates that, besides the Troy judgment, in its
bankruptcy filing Samson also lists an $88,000 disputed debt to
Arms Inc. (also being sued by Troy) and $91,000 to Easthampton
Quality Machine Company.  Its biggest New Hampshire creditors are
Fuller Machine of East Alstead ($54,000), Thompson Investment
Casting of Rochester ($28,000) and MHR Resources North of Lempster
($26,000).

According to the report, Mr. Tamposi said he intends to file a
bankruptcy plan soon.  If approved, it would repay all creditors
in full except for Troy.  That payment would be put off until the
patent dispute is resolved in a federal court.


SAN BERNARDINO, CA: Sues California Agencies to Get Tax Money
-------------------------------------------------------------
Karen Gullo, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that San
Bernardino, the insolvent California city, sued the state's tax
and finance departments seeking to block them from withholding
sales and property tax revenue owed to the city.

The city was told March 4 that unless $15 million is turned over
to the state by a redevelopment successor agency, sales and use
taxes owed to San Bernardino may be withheld and property taxes
due to the redevelopment agency and the city may be held back,
according to the city's complaint filed yesterday in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Riverside, California, the Bloomberg report
related.

The city will be forced to shut operations as early as mid May and
no later than June 1 if the taxes are blocked, according to the
complaint, Bloomberg further related. The successor agency has no
cash and is insolvent to the tune of $15 million, City Attorney
James Penman said in the filing. The city seeks a court order
stopping the state from withholding the funds.

                    About San Bernardino, Cal.

San Bernardino, California, filed an emergency petition for
municipal bankruptcy under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 12-28006) on Aug. 1, 2012.  San
Bernardino, a city of about 210,000 residents roughly 65 miles
(104 km) east of Los Angeles, estimated assets and debts of more
than $1 billion in the bare-bones bankruptcy petition.

The city council voted on July 10, 2012, to file for bankruptcy.
The move lets San Bernardino bypass state-required mediation with
creditors and proceed directly to U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

The city is represented that Paul R. Glassman, Esq., at Stradling
Yocca Carlson & Rauth.

San Bernardino joined two other California cities in bankruptcy:
Stockton, an agricultural center of 292,000 east of San Francisco,
and Mammoth Lakes, a mountain resort town of 8,200 south of
Yosemite National Park.


SAN DIEGO HOSPICE: Claims Bar Date Set for April 26
---------------------------------------------------
The deadline for creditors to file proofs of claim in the
bankruptcy case of San Diego Hospice & Palliative Care Corporation
is set for April 26, 2013.

San Diego Hospice & Palliative Care Corporation filed a Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. S.D. Calif. Case No. 13-01179) in San Diego on
Feb. 4, 2013.  The Debtor is the operator of the San Diego Hospice
and The Institute for Palliative Medicine, one of the largest
community-owned, not-for-profit hospices in the country.

The Debtor scheduled $20,369,007 in total assets and $14,888,058
in total liabilities.

Even before the bankruptcy filing, the Debtor has been under a
federal investigation, focusing whether it allowed patients to
stay in the program even when their diagnosis changed.  The Debtor
said that it will meet with government agencies to address their
concerns, explore partnerships with other health care
organizations, and work to restructure and resize San Diego
Hospice.  The Debtor said it has encouraged Scripps Health, the
region's largest provider of health care services, to enter the
hospice business.

Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP serves as counsel to the
Debtor.

                         Negative Outlook

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in January 2012 lowered its
corporate credit rating on Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears
Holdings Corp. to 'CCC+' from 'B'.  "We removed the rating from
CreditWatch, where we had placed it with negative implications on
Dec. 28, 2011.  We are also lowering the short-term and commercial
paper rating to 'C' from 'B-2'.  The rating outlook is negative,"
S&P said.

"The corporate credit rating reflects our projection that Sears'
EBITDA will be negative in 2012, given our expectations for
continued sales and margin pressure," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Ana Lai.  She added, "We further expect that
liquidity could be constrained in 2013 absent a turnaround
or substantial asset sales to fund operating losses."

Moody's Investors Service in January 2012 lowered Sears Holdings
Family and Probability of Default Ratings to B3 from B1.
The outlook remains negative. At the same time Moody's affirmed
Sears' Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-2.

The rating action reflects Moody's expectations that Sears will
report a significant operating loss in fiscal 2011.  Moody's added
that the rating action also reflects the company's persistent
negative trends in sales, which continue to significantly
underperform peers.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 7, 2012, Fitch Ratings has affirmed
its long-term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) on Sears Holdings
Corporation (Holdings) and its various subsidiary entities
(collectively, Sears) at 'CCC' citing that The magnitude of Sears'
decline in profitability and lack of visibility to turn operations
around remains a major concern.

SPX CORP: S&P Revises Outlook to Stable & Affirms 'BB+' Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
outlook on Charlotte, N.C.-based SPX Corp. to stable from
negative.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'BB+' rating
on the company.

"The outlook revision reflects the company's improved balance
sheet following its sale of the Service Solutions business and our
expectation that the company's leverage net of excess cash will
approach our range of expectations for the rating by the end of
2013," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Sarah Wyeth.  The
company has faced headwinds in its power generation markets and
had challenges with the integration of Clyde Union, which it
acquired at the end of 2011.  S&P's forecast assumes low-single-
digit topline growth, with low growth in some industrial markets
and modest improvement in the Clyde Union business offsetting
weakness in power generation markets.  S&P expects the company's
efforts to pursue higher margin business at Clyde Union to result
in slight overall margin improvement.  After some one-time uses of
cash in 2013, the company should generate approximately
$200 million of annual free cash flow on an ongoing basis.

The ratings and outlook on SPX reflect S&P's assessment of the
company's "fair" business risk profile and "significant" financial
risk profile.  S&P expects SPX to continue to serve a variety of
industrial markets.  The company is likely to continue to operate
in three segments: flow technology (53% of 2012 revenues), thermal
equipment and services (28%), and industrial products and services
(19%).  However, in the long term, S&P expects the company to
increase the proportion of revenues generated in its flow
technology segment.  In total, these businesses are fragmented and
cyclical.  SPX should continue to benefit from some product
diversity and leadership positions in its end markets.
Nevertheless, S&P expects several of its units to continue to face
intense pricing pressures, even during periods of robust demand.
The cost of raw materials can be significant, leading to modest
swings in earnings when raw material costs rise and fall.  S&P
assess the company's management and governance as "fair."

S&P expects total debt to EBITDA (after adjusting for
postretirement benefit obligations and operating leases) of 3.0x
to 3.5x and funds from operations (FFO) to total debt of about 25%
for the rating.  As of Dec. 31, 2012, total debt to EBITDA was
more than 4x.  S&P expects the company to use its approximately
$160 million in free cash flow in addition to some of the nearly
$1 billion cash on hand as of Dec. 31, 2012, to fund about $300
million in share repurchases, a modest dividend, and a
contribution to its pension in 2013.  SPX's capacity for
additional debt-funded acquisitions or share buybacks at the
current rating is limited.

The stable outlook reflects the company's stronger balance sheet
following its divestiture of Service Solutions.  S&P believes the
company is committed to reducing leverage to its publicly stated
target gross range of 1.5x-2.5x, based on credit agreement
definitions. If it pursues a financial policy more aggressive than
S&P expects, it could lower the rating.  For instance, if it
increases share repurchases such that leverage is likely to remain
above 3.5x in 2014, S&P could lower the ratings.  An upgrade would
require the company to adopt a more conservative financial policy.


STANFORD GROUP: Greenberg Traurig Says Deal Imperils Law Firms
--------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Hornbeck of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that Greenberg Traurig
LLP told a Texas federal court Monday that it opposed a settlement
between the U.S. and Antiguan receivers in charge of compensating
victims of Robert Allen Stanford's $7 billion Ponzi scheme because
the deal could spark a second wave of litigation against law
firms.

The report related that the settlement, which includes
unobjectionable provisions to resolve disputes about jurisdiction
over $300 million that Stanford had in the U.K., Switzerland and
Canada, also had provisions that would allow more lawsuits to be
filed against law firms like Greenberg Traurig.


STILLWATER ASSET: Creditors Renew Bid to Appoint Ch. 11 Trustee
---------------------------------------------------------------
Four creditors have renewed their request to the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to appoint
a Chapter 11 Trustee in the bankruptcy case of Stillwater Asset
Backed Offshore Fund Ltd.

The Creditors are Eden Rock Finance Master Limited, f/k/a Fortis
Prime Fund Solutions Custodial Services (Ire) Ltd re KBC ac G1
(ERFF), Eden Rock Unleveraged Finance Master Limited, f/k/a Fortis
Prime Fund Solutions Custodial Services (Ire) Ltd re KBC ac G1
(ERUFML), ARP Structural Alpha Fund, f/k/a Fortis (Isle of Man)
Nominees Limited a/c 80 000 323, and ARP Private Finance Fund,
f/k/a Fortis (Isle of Man) Nominees Limited a/c 80 000 357.

The Creditors contend that the facts from the December 18, 2012
evidentiary hearing and findings by the Court, and the Debtor's
post-petition breaches of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules establish
that the Debtor's manager cannot and should not marshal the assets
of the estate and carry out duties and obligations as a "trustee"
under sections 1106 and 1107 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Creditors cite three causes for the appointment of a trustee:

   (1) the Asset Manager -- Stillwater Capital Partners, Inc. --
       has conflicts of interest;

   (2) the Asset Manager was incompetent and grossly mismanaged
       the Debtor; and

   (3) the Asset Manager has failed to comply with the Federal
       Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and the Order for Relief.

STOCKTON, CA: 4-Day Trial on Chapter 9 Eligibility This Week
------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that closing arguments are scheduled for
Wednesday, a day earlier than expected, in a trial to determine
whether the city of Stockton, in California, is eligible for
Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.  The trial began Monday and was
originally scheduled for four days.

Jim Christie, writing for Reuters, relates Judge Christopher Klein
in U.S. bankruptcy court in Sacramento, gave no indication on when
he would rule.  But observers said a decision could come sooner
rather than later.  A copy of Reuters' article is available at
http://is.gd/gLbCeq

Scott Smith, writing for Recordnet.com, reports that City Manager
Bob Deis was the first witness called Monday morning.  He said
under cross examination that he foresees asking voters to raise
taxes.

Recordnet.com relates that, in the last two weeks, Mr. Deis issued
a memo to the City Council, saying he privately urged Mayor
Anthony Silva to stop promoting a half-cent sales tax initiative
to hire more than 100 new police officers while the city is in the
full throes of bankruptcy.

Mary Williams Walsh, writing for The New York Times, reports that
pension funds are wary as Stockton goes to trial.  A copy of the
article is available at http://is.gd/WIVzTq

Dan Walters, writing for the Sacramento Bee, says the trial has
big stakes.  A copy of the article is available at
http://is.gd/Hptnzm

Reuters' Mr. Christie earlier noted that unlike in corporate
bankruptcies when all debt holders absorb some losses, bondholders
in major municipal bankruptcies consistently have been repaid all
of their principal since at least the 1930s.  Now Stockton and at
least two others municipalities are challenging that premise:
Jefferson County in Alabama and San Bernardino, California, also
expect to ask bondholders to take losses in their bankruptcies.

Reuters says bondholders and insurers, which will have to repay
investors for any capital losses, argue the decision by Stockton
to keep paying its largest creditor, the California Public
Employees' Retirement System, shows a lack of good faith and
should block Stockton's request for bankruptcy protection under
federal bankruptcy law.  Stockton pays a yearly contribution of
about $30 million to the $254 billion retirement system.  Calpers
manages pension accounts for the city's employees and retired
employees.  A copy of Reuters' article is available at

                       About Stockton, Calif.

The City of Stockton, California, filed a Chapter 9 petition
(Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 12-32118) in Sacramento on June 28,
2012, becoming the largest city to seek creditor protection in
U.S. history.  The city was forced to file for bankruptcy after
talks with bondholders and labor unions failed.  Stockton
estimated more than $1 billion in assets and in excess of
$500 million in liabilities.

The city, with a population of about 300,000, identified the
California Public Employees Retirement System as the largest
unsecured creditor with a claim of $147.5 million for unfunded
pension costs.  In second place is Wells Fargo Bank NA as trustee
for $124.3 million in pension obligation bonds.  The list of
largest creditors includes $119.2 million owing on four other
series of bonds.

The city is being represented by Marc A. Levinson, Esq., and John
W. Killeen, Esq., at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.  The
petition was signed by Robert Deis, city manager.

Mr. Levinson also represented the city of Vallejo, Calif. in its
2008 bankruptcy.  Vallejo filed for protection under Chapter 9
(Bankr. E.D. Calif. Case No. 08-26813) on May 23, 2008, estimating
$500 million to $1 billion in assets and $100 million to $500
million in debts in its petition.  In August 2011, Vallejo was
given green light to exit the municipal reorganization.   The
Vallejo Chapter 9 plan restructures $50 million of publicly held
debt secured by leases on public buildings.  Although the Plan
doesn't affect pensions, it adjusts the claims and benefits of
current and former city employees.  Bankruptcy Judge Michael
McManus released Vallejo from bankruptcy on Nov. 1, 2011.


STOCKTON, CA: Deficits May Total $100 Million, Forecast Shows
-------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that Stockton,
California's annual budget deficits may total almost $100 million
after 10 years even if it got all of the cuts it sought before
filing for bankruptcy, a city forecast showed.

The forecast assumes the city would take no additional actions,
which is unrealistic, David Millican, a management consultant for
the city, testified on May 27 in Sacramento, according to the
Bloomberg report.  U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher M. Klein is
presiding over a hearing to decide whether Stockton is eligible to
remain in bankruptcy, where it is shielded from paying many of its
debts.

Guy Neal, an attorney for creditors opposed to the bankruptcy,
cross-examined Millican about the forecast in an effort to bolster
the argument that Stockton should be denied court protection,
Bloomberg related. Annual deficits under the forecast would start
at $700,000 and climb to $17.6 million in 2021, Neal said. The
deficits would add up to $99.8 million after 10 years.

"The 10-year projections in and of themselves do not show the city
achieving financial stability within 10 years?" Neal asked,
according to Bloomberg.

"That's correct," Millican said, Bloomberg cited. "Not without
further action."

Creditors such as Assured Guaranty Corp., a bond insurer, and
Franklin Resources Inc. (BEN), a mutual-fund manager, are trying
to prove at the three-day trial that began on May 26 that the city
isn't truly insolvent and didn't engage in good faith
negotiations.

As reported by the TCR on March 20, 2013, Suntech Power has
received from the trustee of its 3% Convertible Notes a notice of
default and acceleration relating to Suntech's non-payment of the
principal amount of US$541 million that was due to holders of the

cross-defaults under Suntech's other outstanding debt, including
its loans from International Finance Corporation and Chinese
domestic lenders.


SUNTECH POWER: Unit Faces Insolvency Proceedings in China
---------------------------------------------------------
Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., announced that on March 18,
2013, a group of eight Chinese banks filed a petition for
insolvency and restructuring of its Chinese subsidiary Wuxi
Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., in the Wuxi Municipal
Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu Province, China.  Wuxi
Suntech notified the Court that it will not file an objection
against the petition.  The Company expects that the Court will
decide whether or not to accept the petition in the next few days.

Wuxi Suntech is the Company's principal operating subsidiary in
China engaged in the manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) cells and PV
modules.  The Company has additional cell and module production
facilities at wholly owned or partially owned subsidiaries in
Wuxi, Shanghai and Luoyang and, in the event insolvency and
restructuring of Wuxi Suntech is approved by the Court, the
Company intends to continue production of solar products to meet
customer orders.  In addition, management will work with any
Court-appointed administrators to ensure all of Suntech's product
warranty obligations are met.

"While we evaluate restructuring initiatives and strategic
alternatives, we are committed to continuing to provide high-
quality solar products to our global customer base," said David
King, Suntech's CEO.  "During this period, we will continue to
work closely with all of our stakeholders and take the necessary
steps to put Suntech back on track for growth."

The insolvency and restructuring procedure is designed to
facilitate an orderly restructuring plan for both Wuxi Suntech and
its creditors.  In those proceedings, the Chinese court would
typically appoint administrators to Wuxi Suntech to administer the
restructuring, including negotiations with existing bank lenders
and other creditors.  Wuxi Suntech will apply to the Court to
continue operations under the supervision of the administrators.

Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., the ultimate parent company of
Wuxi Suntech, has not commenced insolvency proceedings, nor have
any of the Company's other principal operating subsidiaries.  The
Company is not aware of any similar proceedings regarding any of
its other entities.

Little Rock, Ark.-based ThermoEnergy Corporation is a clean
technologies company engaged in the worldwide development of
advanced municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems and
carbon reducing clean energy technologies.

After auditing the 2011 results, Grant Thornton LLP, in Boston,
Massachusetts, expressed substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  The independent auditors
noted that the Company incurred a net loss for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2011, and, as of that date, the Company's current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,387,000 and its
total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $4,603,000.

The Company reported a net loss of $17.38 million in 2011,
compared with a net loss of $14.85 million during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed
$3.85 million in total assets, $13.06 million in total
liabilities, and a $9.21 million total stockholders' deficiency.


THINGS REMEMBERED: Moody's Keeps B2 Rating on Upsized $177MM Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service reports that Things Remembered, Inc.'s
proposed $31 million term loan increase and mezzanine note
refinancing is a credit positive, but the company's ratings and
stable outlook are unaffected. The proposed transaction is
leverage neutral and should result in modest cash interest savings
and improved interest coverage over time.

On May 14, 2012, Moody's assigned a B2 Corporate Family and
Probability of Default Ratings to Things Remembered and assigned
B1 ratings to the company's $117 million senior secured term loan
and $30 million revolving credit facility

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Retail Industry Methodology published in June 2011. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-
Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA
published in June 2009.

Things Remembered, Inc., headquartered in Highland Heights, Ohio,
sells personalized and occasion-based gifts. As of October 31,
2012, the company operated 676 retail stores, kiosks, and outside
key shops located primarily in shopping malls throughout the
United States and Canada. Revenue for the twelve months ended
October 31, 2012 exceeded $315 million.


THINGS REMEMBERED: S&P Affirms 'B' Rating on Upsized $177MM Loans
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B' corporate
credit rating on TRM Holdings Corp., the parent of gift retailer
Things Remembered Inc.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B' issue-level rating on
Things Remembered's upsized $177.7 million credit facility,
consisting of a $30 million revolver and a $147.7 million term
loan.  The recovery rating on this debt instrument remains
unchanged at '3', and reflects S&P's expectation for meaningful
(50% to 70%) recovery of principal in the event of a payment
default.

The company plans to use proceeds from the additional $31 million
incremental term loan borrowings to refinance $30 million of
mezzanine debt and to pay related fees and expenses.

"The ratings on TRM Holdings Corp., the parent of gift retailer
Things Remembered Inc., reflect our assessment that the company's
'aggressive' financial risk profile and its 'vulnerable' business
risk profile will remain unchanged over the next 12 months," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Mariola Borysiak.

The outlook is stable, reflecting S&P's expectations that the
company's niche position in the gift retail industry and modestly
improving profitability will result in credit measures that remain
in line with S&P's assessment of its aggressive financial risk
profile.

S&P could lower the ratings if operating performance and credit
protection measures deteriorate, leading to leverage increasing to
more than 6x.  This would likely be precipitated by intensified
competitive pressures, a weaker-than-expected economic recovery
forcing customers to curb their discretionary spending, or some
combination of the two.  This could occur if EBITDA declines about
17% from its 2012 fiscal year end and debt remains constant.

Although not likely in the near term, S&P could consider a higher
rating if profitability gains, along with modest debt reduction,
lead to leverage decreasing toward 4x.  For example, this could
result from about 5% debt reduction and about a 13% EBITDA growth
December 2012 year-end levels.


TITAN ENERGY: May Default on Debt; Seeks Notes Restructuring
------------------------------------------------------------
Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc. on March 26 disclosed that it has
released the following letter to its shareholders.

"Dear Shareholder of Titan Energy:

The need for backup power is as strong as it has ever been.  Our
national power grid is being overtaxed, natural disasters seem to
be striking with ever increasing frequency and unrelenting
devastation.  Titan Energy is poised in the center of this
opportunity.  With our ability to respond quickly in times of
emergency, to find the right solution and to be an effective power
partner to our customers, we have established a solid reputation
for excellence and a growing national brand that is beginning to
rival companies many times our size."

"Titan Energy began as a small regional distributor of generators
in the Midwest.  Along the way we have leveraged our technological
expertise and our industry relationships to build a highly skilled
network that now allows us to operate on a national scale.  And
today we have an opportunity to become a true national player in
the ever-growing energy marketplace.

"2012 was a strong turnaround year for Titan Energy. Overall sales
increased 36% year over year.  Growth in our service business was
more than 50%. We advanced from a negative $1.4 million in
adjusted EBITDA in 2011 to a positive $350,000 in adjusted EBITDA
in 2012.  Based on our current backlog, we are on course to do $25
million in overall sales in 2013, an increase of more than 25%
over the $19 million we achieved in 2012.  We expect to surpass
this current projection as new potential opportunities are
realized.  I believe we have a very good shot at ending the year
profitable, and as a company we are committed to that goal."

                          Market Outlook

"Several factors point in Titan Energy's favor as we head into
2013.

-- The number of storms that have hit the country in the past few
years is exposing the weakness in our aging grid and highlighting
the need for companies to deploy their own onsite power resources.
Titan's ability to responds to the needs not only of our customers
but to other companies in the areas hit by Hurricane Sally for
example, have created many new opportunities for us in the
Northeast and other regions.

-- We are beginning to see clear signs that new construction is on
the rise. With new business centers, hotels and healthcare
facilities, there will be the need for new onsite power systems.

-- The power equipment we sell is better and more sophisticated.
Generac Power Systems (www.generac.com), our generator
manufacturer in the Midwest, has shown significant improvements in
the capabilities, reliability and over all acceptance of its brand
among customers for industrial and commercial onsite power
generators.

-- C&I generators are becoming more technically advanced while
being deployed in more demanding situations than in years past.
These onsite power systems require a highly skilled service
provider such as Titan Energy to best maintain and operate them.
Titan has led the industry in developing the latest monitoring,
auditing and other automated solutions which greatly improve our
ability to manage and maintain these power systems, lower costs
for our customers, improve our profitability and create greater
customer retention."

                    Financial Results for 2012

"We will be publishing our 2012 Annual report (Form 10K) in the
next few weeks.  A turnaround year, Titan Energy ended 2012 with a
very strong fourth quarter.  We saw two $1 million months in
service buoyed largely by growth in our national accounts
business.  Total sales revenues grew 36%, with equipment sales
growing by 28% and service revenues by 51% over 2011."

"Combined with a 5% decrease in general and administrative
expenses and 60% decrease in corporate expenses, these strong
revenue numbers helped us generate a positive adjusted EBITDA of
nearly $350,000 for the year.  This represents a turnaround of
nearly $2 million from 2011."

                         1st Quarter 2013

"The first quarter of 2013 is not quite finished, but we can
project sales revenues that will be 40% higher compared to the 1st
q of 2012 with greatly reduced losses.  The first quarter is
historically our most difficult quarter as cold winter conditions
in the Midwest can push out new equipment installations and some
of the our larger national accounts do not complete their
budgetary process or release new work orders until March or later.
Still we demonstrated not only strong growth but continued
improvement in our bottom line."

                         Equipment Sales

"Titan sales of generators increased more than 36% in 2012.  We
believe a significant reason for this increase is due to the
greater awareness businesses have acquired on the need for backup
power after the last series of devastating storms.  At the same
time, we believe the line of generators we represent in the
Midwest, Generac, is gaining stronger acceptance among commercial
and industrial contractors in our territories."

                        Service Operations

"I personally believe we have the finest and most dedicated
service department in the U.S. and service continues to be the
strongest performing segment of our business.  With margins that
are in the 50% to 70% range, the increase in our service business
accounts for the majority of our drive towards profitability.  In
2013, we are looking to increase service sales significantly in
the Midwest, as well as in the Southeast and Northeast.  The
Northeast in particular is a tremendous market for Titan Energy
and our service center in that area has shown 100% growth since
2011 with even greater potential ahead of us."

                           RICE NESHAP

"The EPA, through a ruling called RICE NESHAP, now requires many
generators enrolled in peak shaving or demand response programs to
be mechanically modified so as to lower their emissions.  Titan
has received more than $2 million in purchase orders to date for
the modification of generators in the Midwest and we believe that
this business will continue for us through 2013.  RICE NESHAP also
requires these same generators to be monitored and report their
equipment's performance.  Titan has been successful in placing its
own proprietary monitoring system on many of these installations
thereby creating ongoing recurring revenues and providing us with
the opportunity to be the service partner for these customers as
well."

                        National Accounts

"National accounts revenues grew from $400,000 to more than $3
million in 2012.  We are projecting national account sales to
surpass $5 million in 2013 based on our currently contracted
customers.  We now service more than 2,000 generators nationwide
and have multiyear contracts with one of the major retailers in
the nation and one of the largest owners of data centers.  We are
actively seeking to expand this base of national customers,
focusing on the retail, property management and health care
markets."

                       Monitoring Technology

"I am confident that Titan's monitoring system for onsite power
generators is the most robust and advanced in the market.  Having
completed the beta test on this system, this service is now
operating with several clients utilizing a robust, commercial
grade cloud-based service.  Teamed with our 24/7 call center, we
are now ready to begin taking on additional commercial clients
including a number of our Fortune 500 service customers."

"One unique aspect of our platform is that it is capable of
monitoring the EPA's required emissions modifications that were
imposed recently through RICE NESHAP in addition to the functions
of the generator itself.  Titan is one of the few companies to
offer this valuable product for the tens of thousands of
generators enrolled in peak shaving programs that must meet both
the EPAS requirements as well as maintain their service schedules
so as to perform during peak shave events."

                      UPS Sales and Service

"Last year we greatly enhanced our ability to provide sales and
service to an important part of the most onsite power systems:
Uninterruptible Power Supplies or UPS.  UPS is the vital back up
component that provides electricity during the seconds or even
minutes before a generator comes on during an event.  We have
hired a seasoned UPS veteran experienced with over 25 makes and
models of UPS to build this program on a national level for Titan
energy."

"Highly profitable and growing in demand among many companies, we
see the potential for UPS sales and service as one that will rival
our equipment sales.  At the same time, Titan will be one of the
few generator service companies that can seamlessly support UPS
and battery sales and maintenance, making us a truly complete
service partner for many companies nationwide."

               Strong Growth in Northeast Segment

"Our sales in our Northeast operation continue to grow.  The
storms that have recently hit the New York and New Jersey areas
have significantly increased service work for us as well as
improved equipment sales as more companies are responding to the
need to avoid future power outages."

"We realized $2.4 million in equipment sales revenues in the
Northeast in 2012.  To date, we have more than $4 million in
purchase orders for 2013.  Another way to look at this is that
Northeast orders now represent 40% of Titan's entire backlog."

                   Changes in Southeast Segment

"Last year, we made the decision to discontinue the equipment
sales division of our southeast operations as poor sales and low
margins were creating losses for the company.  Since reorganizing
the operations in August of 2012, the service division has been
able to maintain a profitable operation throughout most of those
months and has continued to service our national accounts in the
Southeast."

                           Challenges

"We currently have about $3.5 million in convertible debt that
comes due in April of this year.  We are hopeful that we can work
out an arrangement with these note holders to restructure their
notes thereby better positioning us with our vendors, customers
and financial partners, but there is the possibility the Company
could be in default on some or all of these notes.  We will also
strive in 2013 to obtain a more versatile and cost effective line
of credit, thereby lowering our interest expenses considerably."

"All in all, we expect 2013 to be an exciting year for Titan, a
year of growth, opportunity and profitability.  A year when the
Titan name achieves a new level of value.  I wish to extend my
appreciation to all the shareholders who have supported Titan
Energy through the years."

TOBACCO SQUARE: Bank's Lien on Personal Property Clarified
----------------------------------------------------------
TOBACCO SQUARE LLC, Plaintiff, v. PUTNAM COUNTY BANK, Defendant,
Adv. Proc. No. 12-06046 (Bankr. M.D.N.C. July 27, 2012), seeks to
avoid the liens held by PCB in real and personal property and to
recover these interests for the benefit of the estate.  The
parties have filed cross-motions for summary judgment.  The
Debtor's Motion contends PCB's deed of trust fails to identify the
underlying debt and PCB has not perfected its security interest in
personal property.  PCB's Motion asserts that the debt is
specifically described in a related document and, furthermore,
that it properly filed a fixture filing statement.

In a March 26, 2013 Memorandum Opinion available at
http://is.gd/NztNOZfrom Leagle.com, Bankruptcy Judge Thomas W.
Waldrep, Jr., granted PCB's Motion and denied the Debtor's Motion
as to the deed of trust and granted, in part, and denied, in part,
both motions as to the personal property.  The Court ruled that
the lighting fixtures, wall sconces, ceiling fans, heating and air
conditioning units, microwaves, ranges and/or oven units,
disposals, dishwashers, and cooling units on the roof are all
fixtures that secure the debt owed to PCB. Conversely,
refrigerators, exercise equipment, televisions, pictures, washers,
dryers, and window treatments are not fixtures and remain personal
property not subject to PCB's security interest.

Tobacco Square LLC owns 26 residential apartment units in a
building located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  It also owns
certain items of personal property associated with the apartments,
including appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves,
dishwashers, microwaves and garbage disposals), individual heating
and cooling components, benches and furniture, maintenance and
building supplies, window treatments, lighting, window treatments,
wall sconces, overhead lighting, and furnaces.

To fund the conversion of an old warehouse into condominiums, on

TRAVELPORT LLC: Extends Early Deadline for Exchange Offer
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Travelport LLC extended the deadline for
participating in an exchange offer that's part of a refinancing to
extend the maturity of senior notes from 2014 to 2016.  The offer
includes exchanging pay-in-kind notes of the holding company for
stock, senior subordinated notes and a small amount of cash. The
company said that holders of all of the PIK notes agreed.

According to the report, Travelport is still short of 95%
participation for the senior notes.  The deadline for an early
tender was extended until March 27 in the afternoon. Failure to
push out maturity of the senior notes will cause an earlier
maturity of bank loans.

Travelport's $424.1 million in 9.875% senior unsecured notes due
in 2014 last traded March 26 for 99.25 cents on the dollar, to
yield 10.441 percent, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting
system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

The $247.2 million of 11.875% senior subordinated notes due in
2016 last traded March 26 for 80.52 cents on the dollar, for a 20%
yield, according to Trace.

                    About Travelport LLC

provider of transaction processing services to the travel industry
through its global distribution system (GDS) business, which

UNITED WESTERN: JPMorgan, FDIC Want Case Converted to Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that United Western Bancorp Inc. lost a lawsuit that was
the largest potential asset for the holding company whose bank was
taken over by regulators in January 2011.  As a consequence, the
U.S. Trustee, JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp. are all urging the bankruptcy judge in Denver to
convert the Chapter 11 reorganization to a liquidation in
Chapter 7, where a trustee is appointed automatically.

The report notes that U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in
Washington wrote a 40-page opinion on March 5 dismissing United
Western's lawsuit against the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency
alleging that the regulatory takeover of the bank subsidiary was
"arbitrary and capricious."  She found that the Comptroller and
the Office of Thrift Supervision didn't abuse their discretion in
having the bank taken over by the FDIC.

According to the report, in the wake of the ruling, the U.S.
Trustee arranged an April 10 hearing on a motion originally filed
in October for conversion to Chapter 7.  JPMorgan, owed $13.6
million, joined in the conversion motion, as did the FDIC.

United Western's other main asset is a tax refund of $4.85
million, which the FDIC claims as receiver for the failed bank
subsidiary.

                       About United Western

United Western Bancorp, Inc., along with two affiliates, filed for
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Colo. Case No. 12-13815) on
March 2, 2012.  Harvey Sender, Esq., at Sender & Wasserman, P.C.,
represents the Debtor.  Judge A. Bruce Campbell presides over the
case.

United Western listed the value of the assets as "unknown" while
showing $53.3 million in debt, including a $12.3 million secured
claim owing to JPMorgan Chase Bank NA.  The holding company listed
assets of $2.221 billion and liabilities of $2.104 billion on the
June 30, 2010, balance sheet, the last financial statement filed
before the bank was taken over.

United Western's deposits and branches were transferred by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to First-Citizens Bank & Trust Co.
of Raleigh, North Carolina.  When the bank was taken over, it had
$1.65 billion in deposits, the FDIC said.  The cost of the
takeover to the FDIC was $313 million, the FDIC said in a
statement at the time.


UNIVERSAL HEALTH: Can Hire Morgan Joseph as Investment Banker
-------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Health Care Group, Inc., sought and obtained court
permission to employ Morgan Joseph TriArtisan LLC as its
investment banker.

If the Debtor pursues one or more sale transactions, then Morgan
Joseph will:

   * update and familiarize itself to the extent it deems
     appropriate and feasible with the business, operations,
     properties, financial condition and management and prospects
     of the Debtor;

   * assist in preparing an offering memorandum for distribution
     and presentation to prospective purchasers;

   * assist in soliciting interest among prospective purchasers;

   * assist in evaluating proposals received from prospective
     purchasers;

   * advise the Debtor as to the structure of a Sale Transaction,
     including the valuation of any non-cash consideration;

   * assist in negotiating the financial terms and structure of a
     Sale Transaction;

   * assist in communications with the Debtor's lenders,
     regulatory authorities and others; and

   * assist in consummating a Sale Transaction.

If a Transaction is consummated, Morgan Joseph will receive a fee
equal to the sum of:

   (a) 1.0% of the cumulative Aggregate Gross Consideration of the
       Sale Transaction up to the cumulative AGC of $30,000,000;
       plus

   (b) 2.5% of the cumulative AGC of the Sale Transaction above
       $30,000,000 and up to and including $45,000,000; plus

   (c) 7.5% of the cumulative AGC of the Sale Transaction in
       excess of $45,000,000.

Before the Debtor's bankruptcy filing, Morgan Joseph was employed
by BankUnited as part of preparations for an Article 9 sale of the
Debtor's assets subject to BankUnited's liens and security
interests.  Morgan Joseph earned and received from BankUnited
$50,000.  The Debtor does not believe Morgan Joseph's prior
employment by BankUnited creates an impediment to the firm's
retention.  The Debtor submits Morgan Joseph is a "disinterested
person" within the meaning of Sections 101(14) and 327 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH: Hires Katten Muchin & Stichter Riedel as Counsel
------------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Health Care Group, Inc., obtained court permission to
employ Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP as its general bankruptcy
counsel and Stichter, Riedel, Blain & Prosser P.A. as co-counsel.

Stichter Riedel will render legal advice with respect to the
Debtor's powers and duties as debtor-in-possession, the continued
operation of the Debtor's business, and the management of its
property, among others.  The firm will be paid based on its
ordinary and customary rates.

The Troubled Company Reporter reported on Feb. 14, 2013, that
Katten has represented the Debtor previously with respect to the
negotiation of a secured credit facility.  As a result, Katten has
become intimately familiar with the Debtor's business, corporate
and capital structure, and its financial posture.  The Debtor
believes the employment of Katten will enhance and will
not duplicate the services to be provided by the Debtor's local
bankruptcy counsel, Strichter, Riedel, Blain & Prosser, P.A., and
the employment of other professionals retained by the Debtor to
perform specific tasks that are unrelated to the work to be
performed by Katten.  Katten intends to (a) charge for its legal
services in tenths of hours in accordance with its ordinary and
customary hourly rates in effect on the date services are rendered

UNIVERSAL HEALTH: Ad Hoc Equity Committee Wants Examiner Appointed
------------------------------------------------------------------
Don DeFosset, John J. Rush, M.D., and Al Austin, as an ad hoc
steering committee for equity security holders of Universal Health
Care Group, Inc., in mid-March filed a motion asking the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida to appoint an
examiner in the Debtor's Chapter 11 case.

The Ad Hoc Committee contends there is cause for the appointment
of an examiner in the Debtor's case.  Appointment of an examiner
serves the best interests of creditors and equity security holders
and other interests of the estate. The appointment of an examiner
under Section 1104(c)(2) to investigate the affairs of the
Debtor and its operating subsidiaries will provide the most cost-
effective means of performing the critical investigation that is
called for under the facts and circumstances of the case with
respect to these issues:

   (a) the actions of the officers and directors of the Debtor and
       its operating subsidiaries (who are believed to be
       substantially the same across all of the entities) that
       caused (i) the State of Florida to seek to place the
       subsidiaries into an insurance receivership and (ii) the
       Debtor to seek bankruptcy protection to sell substantially
       all of its assets at a greatly diminished value;

   (b) potential claims against any D&O insurance policies of the
       Debtor and its operating subsidiaries that may exist to
       bring value to the Debtor's estate; and

   (c) the actions of the Debtor's secured lenders, including
       BankUnited, N.A. as administrative agent for certain
       secured lenders, in causing the Debtor to seek Chapter 11
       protection to sell substantially all of its assets at a
       greatly diminished value, thereby depriving equity security
       holders of the value of their investment in the Debtor.

VANGUARD HEALTH: Moody's B2 CFR Remains After Medicaid Deal Loss
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service commented that the announcement that
Vanguard Health System, Inc.'s was not awarded an acute care
program contract by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment
System (AHCCCS) for the year commencing October 1, 2013 is a
credit negative.

Vanguard currently covers lives in nine Arizona counties through
its subsidiary, VHS Phoenix Health Plan, under a contract with the
AHCCCS that expires September 30, 2013.

The loss of the contract will reduce revenue and EBITDA in
Vanguard's health plan operations. However, there is no change to
Vanguard's B2 Corporate Family Rating, B2-PD Probability of
Default Rating or stable rating outlook.

Vanguard owns and operates 28 acute care and specialty hospitals
and complementary facilities and services in metropolitan Chicago,
Illinois; metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona; metropolitan Detroit,
Michigan; San Antonio, Texas; Harlingen and Brownsville, Texas;
and Worcester and metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts. Vanguard
Health recognized revenue, net of the provision for bad debt, of
approximately $6.0 billion for the twelve months ended December
31, 2012.


VERTAFORE INC: New Senior Debt Facilities Get Moody's B1 Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to Vertafore,
Inc.'s new senior secured credit facilities. The proceeds will
refinance Vertafore's existing senior secured credit facilities,
and the ratings on the existing secured revolving credit and term
loan will be withdrawn upon close.

Ratings Rationale:

Vertafore's debt to EBITDA of about 7.2x is high, especially given
Vertafore's small scale and concentrated business profile as a
niche provider of software for the property and casualty insurance
market. Nonetheless, Vertafore generates relatively predictable
cash flows due to recurring revenues and the market structure as
Vertafore is one of the two leading providers. The stable rating
outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Vertafore will maintain
its market position and will generate gradually increasing free
cash flow (FCF) and profitability over the near term. The rating
could be upgraded if Vertafore increases market share with
improving profit margins and FCF, and uses FCF to reduce debt such
that Moody's expects FCF to debt (Moody's adjusted) will increase
into the upper single digits percent. The rating could be
downgraded if Vertafore fails to increase revenues or debt to
EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) does not steadily improve towards the 6x
level or Moody's expects FCF to debt (Moody's adjusted) to remain
below 3% for an extended period.

Assignments:

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility: B1, LGD3-35%

Senior Secured Term Loan: B1, LGD3-35%

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Software
Industry published in October 2012. Other methodologies used
include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Vertafore, based in Bothell, Washington, provides enterprise
resource planning services for retail agents and document/workflow
management solutions for property and casualty insurance carriers.
In 2013, Moody's expects Vertafore to generate revenues of at
least $330 million and free cash flow of at least $40 million.

WESB PAYMENT: Lien Waived for Giving Collateral to Trustee
----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a secured creditor with a possessory lien waived a
security interest by turning collateral over to the trustee
without having sought or being granted adequate protection.

The report recounts that the lender had a possessory security
interest in a deposit account belonging to a bankrupt check-
cashing service.  On bankruptcy, there was more than $900,000 in
the account.  The Chapter 7 trustee demanded turnover of the
funds.  The lender estimated there would be chargebacks of $50,000
and turned over the remainder to the trustee, without seeking
adequate protection.  It turned out there were more than $500,000
in chargebacks.  The bankruptcy judge ruled that the lender waived
the security interest on turning over the funds.

According to the report, in an opinion by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge
Arthur B. Federman in Kansas City, Missouri, the Bankruptcy
Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit reached the same
conclusion.  Judge Federman said the result would have been
different were collateral of the type with a security interest
perfected by a U.C.C. filing.  In that case, the security interest
would survive turnover to a trustee.

When perfection is accomplished through possession, such as
through possession of a deposit account, the security interest is
waived on turnover, unless the bankruptcy court grants adequate
protection, Judge Federman ruled, according to the report.  In the
case of a security interest by perfection, Judge Federman said
that demanding adequate protection is necessary so the "trustee
and the unsecured creditors may be made aware that the funds being
held by the trustee are not available for estate administration."

The case is North American Banking Co. v. Leonard (In re
WEB2B Payment Solutions Inc.), 12-6047, U.S. Eighth Circuit
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (St. Louis).

WEB2B Payment Solutions, Inc., sought Chapter 11 protection
(Banrk. D. Minn. Case No. 11-42325) on April 4, 2011.  Kenneth
Corey-Edstrom, Esq., at Larkin Hoffman Daly & Lingren LTD serves
as counsel to the Debtor. The Debtor estimated assets and debts of
$1,000,001 to $10,000,000.  A copy of the petition is available at

---------------------------------------------------------
Willdan Group, Inc. on March 26 announced financial results for
its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012 ended December 28, 2012.

For the fourth quarter of 2012, Willdan reported total contract
revenue of $22.9 million and net income of $0.3 million, or $0.04
per basic and diluted share.

For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2012, Willdan reported
total contract revenue of $93.4 million and a net loss of $17.3
million, or $2.37 per basic and diluted share.

Tom Brisbin, Willdan's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Our
fourth quarter revenue and earnings were in line with our
expectations.  We continued to carefully manage expenses during
the quarter and we generated positive cash flow from operations."

                   Fourth Quarter 2012 Results

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, revenue was $22.9 million,
down $7.1 million, or 23.5%, from revenue of $30.0 million for the
comparable period last year.  On a sequential basis, revenue was
up $1.4 million, or 6.5%, from the third quarter of 2012.  Income
from operations was $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal
2012, as compared to income from operations of $0.3 million for
the comparable period last year.  On a sequential basis, income
from operations decreased $0.2 million from $1.4 million in the
third quarter of 2012.

Net income was $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012,
as compared to a net loss of $0.8 million in the comparable period
last year and net income of $0.8 million in the third quarter of
2012.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2012 were $0.04 as compared to basic and diluted loss per
share of $0.11 for the comparable period last year.

Willdan generated $0.7 million in cash flow from operations in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

                    Fiscal Year 2012 Results

Revenue for fiscal year 2012 was $93.4 million, a decrease of
$13.7 million, or 12.8%, from revenue of $107.2 million for fiscal
year 2011.  Loss from operations was $19.3 million for fiscal year
2012 as compared to income from operations of $3.4 million for
fiscal year 2011.  Net loss was $17.3 million for fiscal year
2012, including a $15.2 million goodwill impairment charge, as
compared to net income of $1.8 million for fiscal year 2011.

Basic and diluted loss per share for fiscal year 2012 was $2.37,
as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.25 and
$0.24, respectively, for fiscal year 2011.

Willdan generated $5.3 million in cash flow from operations in the
year ended December 28, 2012.

                  Liquidity and Capital Resources

Willdan had $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents at December
28, 2012, compared with $3.0 million at December 30, 2011.
Willdan has a $5.0 million revolving line of credit with Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, with $3.0 million in outstanding
borrowings at December 28, 2012.  In addition, the revolving line
of credit is scheduled to expire on April 1, 2013.  Wells Fargo
may also refuse to renew the facility when it expires on April 1,
2013 and if they do so, Willdan will have to repay the outstanding
balance of $3.0 million.

Willdan is currently in breach of the net income covenant in its
revolving line of credit because it did not have net income of at
least $250,000 measured on a rolling four quarter basis and it
sustained net losses for two consecutive quarters in the past
year.  Additionally, Willdan's ratio of funded debt to EBITDA
exceeds the limits permitted under the line of credit.  Because of
these covenant breaches, Willdan's ability to borrow additional
funds under the line of credit is currently subject to Wells
Fargo's discretion.  Although Willdan is seeking a waiver from
Wells Fargo for the current breach of the covenants and to extend
the maturity of the line of credit, Wells Fargo is not obligated
to provide any waiver or modify the terms of the agreement and
could choose to increase the interest rate of the outstanding
indebtedness, accelerate the loans outstanding under the line of
credit and/or terminate its commitments under the line of credit.

WILLEM BRON: Dairy Wins Confirmation of Amended Chapter 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Frank L. Kurtz confirmed the Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization, as amended, filed by debtors Willem Bron and Mary
Teresa Bron, husband and wife, d/b/a Bron Dairy.

Yakima County Treasurer, Lisa McMahon-Myhran on behalf of US Bank
National Association, Jeff Simpson on behalf of AmericanWest Bank,
and Daniel Radin, on behalf of State of Washington, had objected
to the earlier version of the Plan.  The First Amended Chapter 11
Plan of Reorganization and First Amended Chapter 11 Disclosure
Statement were filed Dec. 5, 2012.  The Court approved the amended
disclosure statement on Dec. 7.

The Debtor, Internal Revenue Service, State of Washington by
Daniel Radin, John Deere Credit by Josh Busey and AmericanWest
Bank by Jeff Simpson have stipulated and agreed to amended
provisions which should modify the First Amended Chapter 11 Plan.

The revised Amended Plan provides for, among others, these
provisions:

     -- The State of Washington Department of Labor & Industries
filed its Proof of Claim on May 25, 2011, and Amended Proof of
Claim on Aug. 31, 2011, and is in the process of filing an
additional amended and updated Proof of Claim.  The Debtors agree
to pay the State of Washington Department of Labor & Industries
the unsecured priority debt owed in the approximate sum of
$11,116.70 together with interest as soon as cash surplus is
available, but in not less than 38 monthly payments of $360 per
month including interest at 12% per annum commencing 30 days from
"Date of Confirmation".  Taxes shall not be discharged until paid.

     -- Unsecured debt owed to the State of Washington Department
of Labor & Industries in the approximate sum of $1,567.55 shall be
paid as provided for in Class XIV below.
5. Paragraph captioned "Class IV: Internal Revenue Service" is
modified to read as follows:
CLASS IV: INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

     -- The Internal Revenue Service filed its Amended Proof of
Claim on Feb. 6, 2012.  The Debtors will pay the IRS all priority
debt owed believed to be the sum of $125,573.33 together with
interest per IRC6621 as of "Date of Confirmation" (currently 3%)
from "Date of Petition", as soon as cash funds are available but
in not less than the number of equal monthly payments equivalent
to the number of months remaining until May 2, 2016, i.e. 5 years
from the "Date of Petition". Payments shall commence 30 days after
"Date of Confirmation". The estimated payment assuming a
"Confirmation Date" of Dec. 1, 2012, including interest at 3% per
annum is $3,651.82.

     -- The IRS may assess tax owed, interested accrued and
penalties due by reason of non-receipt of Debtor's 2005 tax
return. The tax, interest and penalties asserted by IRS and
contested by the Debtors is approximately $15,000. If such tax,
interest and penalties are determined to be due, the tax, interest
and penalties will be non-dischargeable and shall be added to the
priority taxes and paid in remaining monthly payments so that all
taxes, interest and penalties will be fully paid on or before May
2, 2016.

     -- Any and all taxes which have accrued during administration
of the estate and remain unpaid will be calculated as of the "Date
of Confirmation" and will be paid in 12 equal monthly payments
commencing One month from the "Date of Confirmation" including any
interest and/or penalties. Taxes owed will not be discharged until
the Plan has been completed. Internal Revenue Service retains all
right of set-off.

     -- AmericanWest Bank filed its Proof of Claim on July 6,
2011.  The principal debt owed to AmericanWest Bank is
$2,324,096.89 as of March 5, 2013, including accruing interest,

and is secured by various properties of the Debtors, including 961
milking cows, 484 heifers, dairy and two residences, the property
at beam road property, 5 horses and farm equipment, and other
personal property.  The value of the collateral is $6,379,723.

        The Debtors will pay AmericanWest Bank the Operating Note
with an unpaid balance of $609,837.75 as of March 5, 2013,
including late fees, advances and attorney fees together with
interest at variable rate calculated from March 5, 2013, in 72
equal monthly payments, in the sum of $9,405.46 commencing March
28, 2013, and continuing on the same date of each month thereafter
until the entire balance of principal, interest, late fees,
advances, attorney fees and costs are paid in full.  Borrowers
will pay this operating loan in 72 payments of $9,405.46 each
payment.  Borrowers' first payment is due March 28, 2013, and all
subsequent payments are due on the 28th day of each month
thereafter.  Borrowers' final payment will be due 72 months after
March 28, 2013, and will be for all principal, accrued interest,

Law Office, in Othello, Washington, represents the Debtors.


WILLIAM A. MARSH III: Repayment Plan Calls for Payment to Trustee
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jim Wise, writing for News Observer, reports that District Court
Judge William A. "Drew" Marsh III and his wife, Sonja D. Marsh,
have filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  Their petition, filed on
Dec. 21, 2012, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for North Carolina's
Middle District, shows they have liabilities of more than
$577,000, including $71,242 in federal, state and Durham County
taxes.  The Marshes' total assets are listed as $449,785.

The report says a statement filed March 11 shows their current
gross monthly income at $9,666, or $115,992 per year.  A repayment
plan submitted to the court in February calls for the Marshes to
pay $4,603.33 per month to their trustee, Durham attorney Richard
Hutson.  The plan calls for the Marshes to relinquish an office
condominium at 120 E. Parrish St. and a vacation timeshare at
Hilton Head, S.C.  Other debts include medical bills, a student
loan and homeowners association dues.


* Fitch Says FTC Bid to Rid Pay-to-Delay Could Cost Drug Makers
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings believes controlling growth in prescription drug
costs is clearly in focus as the U.S. Supreme Court begins hearing
arguments concerning the "pay-for-delay" practice. "We believe the
worst-case scenario for the industry would be a broad ruling that
states this practice is anti-competitive and illegal. That could
make it more difficult for generic drug manufacturers to bring a
product to market inside of the patent protection window and
increase the cost of patent litigation for the entire industry,"
Fitch says.

Growth in prescription drug spending has been relatively muted
over the past couple of years, in part due to the unprecedented
wave of branded drugs that lost patent protection. With the
industry now past the patent cliff, there is rising concern that
growth in prescription spending will tick upwards again, driven by
increased consumption of high cost specialty drugs and lesser
numbers of traditional branded drugs losing patent protection. A
generic drug typically costs consumers 85% to 90% less than the
branded alternative, resulting in a loss of about 90% of market
share for brand manufacturers.

An agreement between branded and generic drug manufacturers to
delay launch of a generic drug during the period of time when the
branded drug is under patent protection is not a new issue for the
industry. However, according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission
(FTC), these agreements have recently been more likely to involve
a payment from the branded to the generic manufacturer, known as a
reverse-payment agreement. This has sparked FTC concern that
sharing of monopoly profit comes at a higher expense to consumers
of the branded drug product.

The industry argues that a prohibition against these agreements
could actually delay the launch of generic alternatives to branded
drugs, thereby increasing costs to consumers as there is no
requirement for a generic manufacturer to litigate patent
challenges. Patent litigation is an extremely costly and time-
consuming process, with generic manufacturers losing their case
approximately 50% of the time. Without the solution of these
settlement agreements, generic manufacturers would be forced to
litigate patent challenges to conclusion.

With that said, it is likely that a narrower decision may
eventually be handed down, based on comments made by the court
thus far. That decision could require the FTC to determine anti-
competitiveness and legality on a case-by-case basis, which would
be preferable to the industry relative to a broader decision
deeming the overall practice anti-competitive.


* Fitch Says High Yield Default Rate Remains Range Bound
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. high yield par default rate continues to track closely to
the 2012 year-end rate of 1.9%, according to Fitch Ratings. At the
end of February, it slipped modestly to 1.8% (mostly due to the
market's larger size), and Fitch projects a similar level for the
first quarter.

Defaults in February included Reader's Digest and chipmaker
Conexant Systems, affecting a combined $0.7 billion in bonds and
bringing the year-to-date tally to $2.8 billion (and issuer count
to six). This compares with $2.5 billion in defaults and six
issuers in the first two months of 2012.

To date, March has added filings from gaming operator Revel AC,
Inc. and phone directory publisher Dex Media, and two missed
interest payments from oil and gas company GMX Resources and
healthcare concern Rotech. These add an estimated $1.5 billion to
the year's default tally.


* Moody's Says Credit Card Charge-offs Spiked in February
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Credit Card Index reports that credit card charge-offs
increased in February even as early-stage delinquencies declined
and set a new all-time low. The improving rate of delinquencies,
especially early-stage delinquencies, is important because they
are reliable harbingers of future charge-off rates.

A new all-time low of 0.62% for early stage delinquencies
represents a decline of two basis points from last month, and a
single basis point below the previous low point set in December.
The overall delinquency rate index moved three basis points lower
to 2.29% in February, just a single basis point higher than the
all-time low set in December.

"Credit card charge-offs in February increased by five basis
points to 3.93% following January's post-crisis low of 3.88%, but
still remain near their lowest level since 1995, said Moody's AVP-
Analyst Jeff Hibbs, author of the report, "Credit Card Charge-offs
Tick Higher in February, Early-stage Delinquencies Set New All-
time Low."

While both early-stage and total delinquencies remain at or near
all-time lows, the pace of improvement is slowing, according to
the Moody's report.

"The trend portends a slowing pace of improvement in the charge-
off rate, which is consistent with our 2013 forecast, which has
the charge-off rate index remaining between 3.5% and 4.5%," said
Hibbs.

After January's all-time high of 24.01%, the payment rate index
experienced a sharp seasonal decline to 21.30% in February, driven
by seasonal factors.

"February has fewer days to gather collections from cardholders
but that is not the only seasonal factor," said Hibbs. "The strong
payment rate of January following the holiday season also reduces
the allocation of collateral pools towards balances of cardholders
that pay in full each month."


* FLSA Liabilities Transfer in Buyouts, 7th Circ. Says
------------------------------------------------------
Bill Donahue of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that the Seventh Circuit
ruled Tuesday in a precedential opinion that electrical
engineering firm Thomas & Betts Power Solutions inherited the
federal employment law liabilities of a smaller company when it
bought the company's assets out of insolvency.

The report related that most states limit an acquiring company's
exposure to a predecessor's obligations, but U.S. Circuit Judge
Richard Posner said a tougher, federal standard for so-called
successor liability applies when it comes to any federal labor
statutes, including the Fair Labor Standards Act.


* Undistributed Money in Chapter 13 Goes to Bankrupt in Chapter 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports a federal district judge in San Antonio, Texas, agreed
with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia and ruled March 22
that undistributed money held by a Chapter 13 trustee on
conversion of a case to Chapter 7 goes to the bankrupt and isn't
distributed to creditors.

According to the report, U.S. District Judge David Alan Ezra from
Hawaii, sitting by designation in Texas, agreed with now-retired
Bankruptcy Judge Leif Clark by concluding that the money goes to
the bankrupt.  Judge Ezra said that giving the money back comports
with the "congressional policy of encouraging debtors to attempt a
Chapter 13, without penalty if that attempt fails."  The judge
noted that the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans, which covers
Texas, is yet to rule on the issue.

According to the report, the Third Circuit's decision was a 2-1
opinion written by Circuit Judge Thomas L. Ambro, who was a
bankruptcy lawyer before appointment to the bench.  He said that
the Bankruptcy Code by itself provided no "clear answer" and
"separate provisions seemingly lead to divergent results."

The case is Viegelahn v. Harris (In re Harris), 12-cv-00540, U.S.
District Court, Western District of Texas (San Antonio).


* Argentina Denied En Banc 2nd Circ. Review in Bond Case
--------------------------------------------------------
Juan Carlos Rodriguez of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that the Second
Circuit on Tuesday shot down Argentina's request for an en banc
rehearing of a panel's finding that it owes $1.4 billion to
bondholders after a 2001 default on its sovereign debt and should
be barred from paying off other debt first.

The report said Argentina had argued that the panel's Oct. 26
ruling, which ordered it to pay private equity firm NML Capital
Ltd. and other investors who opted out of restructuring offers
Argentina extended in 2005 and 2010, will make voluntary debt
restructuring by sovereign nations.


* California Watches as Pacific Grove Goes after CalPERS
--------------------------------------------------------
Tim Reid, writing for Reuters, reported that officials of a tiny
California city say they believe overbilling by state pension
system Calpers has pushed up municipal debt to unsustainable
levels, and they have hired a bankruptcy attorney to explore ways
to lower payments to the system.

According to the Reuters report, municipal bankruptcy experts said
other cash-strapped California cities and towns will be watching
Pacific Grove, a coastal city of 15,000 south of San Francisco, to
see how it resolves its issues with the California Public
Employees' Pension Fund (Calpers), the largest U.S. pension
system.

Calpers, which manages $254 billion in assets, said it will
provide the additional information Pacific Grove has asked for by
April 15 but the pension fund also said it has calculated city
pension payments carefully and provided Pacific Grove with
detailed calculations and accounting methods in yearly reports,
Reuters related.

"We can't afford to keep paying Calpers at the current rates --
and we can't afford to get out," Bill Kampe, Pacific Grove's
mayor, told Reuters. "Fundamentally, we want to pay less to
Calpers."


* JPMorgan Chase Faces Full-Court Press of Federal Investigations
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Ben Protess, writing for The New York
Times' DealBook, reported that as the nation's strongest bank,
JPMorgan Chase used to be known for carrying special sway with
regulators. Now it increasingly finds itself in the cross hairs of
federal authorities.

At least two board members are worried about the mounting
problems, and some top executives fear that the bank's
relationships in Washington have frayed as JPMorgan becomes a
focus of federal investigations, the DealBook said.

In a previously undisclosed case, prosecutors are examining
whether JPMorgan failed to fully alert authorities to suspicions
about Bernard L. Madoff, according to several people with direct
knowledge of the matter, the DealBook related.  And nearly a year
after reporting a multibillion-dollar trading loss, JPMorgan is
facing a criminal inquiry over whether it lied to investors and
regulators about the risky wagers, a case that could accelerate
when the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other authorities
interview top JPMorgan executives in coming weeks.

All told, at least eight federal agencies are investigating the
bank, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the DealBook said.  Federal prosecutors and
the F.B.I. in New York are also examining potential wrongdoing at
JPMorgan.

* New York Hottest Market for Distressed Real Estate Activity
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cole Schotz on March 26 announced the findings of its Outlook on
the Commercial Real Estate and Debt Markets in 2013 Poll, which
reveals that investment management funds still view New York and
South Florida as the markets that will be most active in real
estate deals in the year ahead.  At an industry panel discussion
led by Cole Schotz, the law firm conducted a real-time poll of
representatives from the world's leading investment firms who were
in attendance to discuss the state of the commercial real estate
and debt markets.

In ranking geographic markets based on how much activity
participants expected to see in 2013, on a scale of 1 to 10, New
York ranked highest with an average 9.2 ranking, with South
Florida ranked the second hottest market for 2013 with a 7.3
average ranking.  Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, Washington, D.C.,
and Las Vegas were all ranked above 5.0.

Trends in real estate dealmaking: CMBS activity to increase in
2013

Compared to 2012, 96% of the polled investment advisors responded
that CMBS activity will increase in 2013, while 76% expect equity
deals to increase, 64% expect the interest rate for CMBS loans to
increase, and 60% of respondents anticipate an increase in
opportunities to acquire debt from community, regional, and
institutional banks.  Interestingly, 68% of participants expect
bankruptcy/foreclosure-driven deals to decrease in 2013 compared
with 2012 activity, and 56% also anticipate a decrease in the cap-
rate for commercial properties.

Despite industry predictions that combination equity-debt deals
would decrease in 2013, 84% of participants in Cole Schotz's real-
time poll responded that they think there will in fact be more
combination equity-debt deals in 2013 compared with 2012.  Of the
respondents, 76% said they think they will do a combination of
both equity and debt deals in 2013, compared to 20% who responded
that they would do only equity deals and the 4% who think they
will do only debt deals.

Trends in fund raising: Foreign investors will be largest source
of capital

In terms of fund raising, on a scale of one to ten with ten being
very strong, respondents indicated that foreign investors, with an
average ranking of 8.2, and family offices/high-net-worth
individuals, with an average ranking of 7.6, would be the
strongest for raising capital in 2013.  Institutional money and
friends and family were ranked not far behind.

The real-time Outlook on the Commercial Real Estate and Debt
Markets in 2013 Poll was conducted using presentation testing
dials and analysis tools at the "Panel Discussion on the
Commercial Real Estate and Debt Markets," hosted by the Cole
Schotz Real Estate Special Opportunities Group at The Penn Club in
New York City on March 21, 2013.  Featured panelists and event
attendees, who participated in the real-time poll, were executives
and representatives from leading investment firms including The
Savanna Fund, Torchlight Investors, Canyon Capital Realty Advisors
LLC, and Cantor Commercial Real Estate, among others.

                            Commentary

Leo Leyva, Department Co-Chair and Partner, Real Estate Special
Opportunities Group, Cole Schotz

"The Cole Schotz Outlook on the Commercial Real Estate and Debt
Markets Poll provides insights from leading investment firms in an
effort to better understand distressed debt deals for the year
ahead.  We wanted to take the opportunity to gather data and
predictions from the attendees at our panel event while they were
all in one room, and we were pleased the data we were able to
gather through the real-time poll is extremely valuable for the
industry.  Cole Schotz formed the Real Estate Special
Opportunities Group to respond to the growing number of distressed
debt acquisitions, restructurings, and workouts and to build upon
our experience working on these very deals for over 15 years.  The
panel discussion and real-time poll further demonstrate our
commitment to the commercial real estate and debt markets, and we
are confident that the data collected in this poll will be a
helpful resource for the industry in making decisions in the year
ahead."

"We were particularly surprised that respondents did not rank
Washington, D.C. as a hotter geographic market for real estate
deals, as we are seeing a lot of activity already there and
anticipate more."

Leo Leyva from Cole Schotz's Real Estate Special Opportunities
Group is available to speak with the media further about the poll.

Solus Alternative Asset Management LP raised $1.1 billion for two
funds that invest in bankruptcy claims and are overseen by a team

by Bloomberg News.

Bloomberg says the Solus Recovery funds have traded bankruptcy

Madoff Investment Securities Inc., and Lehman Brothers Holdings

asked not to be identified because the information isn't public.

                            *********

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

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

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

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

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

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

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

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