400 EAST 51ST STREET: To Present Plan for Confirmation on June 5
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
has approved the disclosure statement explaining 400 East 51st
Street LLC's proposed plan of reorganization and scheduled a
hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan for June 5, 2013, at
9:45 a.m.  Objections to confirmation of the Plan are due May 29.

Requests for payment of administrative claims must be filed no
later than June 5.

Under the Plan, 51st Street Lender LLC's secured claim (Class 2)
is impaired and the lender is entitled to vote on the Plan.  The
51st Street, as assignee of New York Commercial Bank's claim, will
have an allowed secured claim in the amount of $14,016,847 and
will recover only 95% of its claim.  The Debtor will transfer to
the lender title to the commercial unit at the Grand Beekman
Condominium, located at 400 East 51st Street, in New York.

Holders of other priority claims (Class 1), to the extent there's
any, and general unsecured claims (Class 3) are unimpaired and
conclusively deemed to have accepted the Plan.  The estimated
claim amount for other priority claims is $0.  The estimated claim
amount for general unsecured claims is $58,207.  Holders of these
clams will recover 100%.

Holders of equity interests (Class 4) will receive no
distributions under the Plan and are therefore deemed to have
rejected the Plan.  Equity interests in the Debtor will be
cancelled.

A full-text copy of the Disclosure Statement, dated March 26,
2013, is available for free at:

         http://bankrupt.com/misc/400EASTds0326.pdf

                    About 400 East 51st Street

400 East 51st Street LLC filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-14196) on Oct. 9, 2012.  The Debtor, a Single
Asset Real Estate under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 (51B), owns property in
150 East 58th Street, New York.  Judge Robert E. Gerber presides
over the case.  Hanh V. Huynh, Esq., at Herrick, Feinstein LLP, in
New York, serves as counsel.  The petition was signed by Simon
Elias, member and chief administrative officer.

The Debtor disclosed $15,058,087 in assets and $11,509,639 in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.


A123 SYSTEMS: Creditors Look to Disallow GM's $28-Mil. Claim
------------------------------------------------------------
Creditors of former battery maker A123 Systems Inc. is asking a
Delaware bankruptcy judge Monday to disallow General Motors LLC's
$27.9 million claim for rejection damages.

Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that creditors of debtor A123 Systems, now known as B456
Systems Inc., are hoping for a result as good or better than the
settlement with electric-auto maker Fisker Automotive Inc.

Before selling the business in January to China's Wanxiang Group
Corp. for $256.6 million, A123 Systems had a contract to supply GM
with batteries for electric autos.  Because Wanxiang didn't take
over the GM contract, it was terminated with approval from the
bankruptcy court.  GM filed a claim asserting $27.9 million in
damages for breach of contract.

According to the Bloomberg report, this week, the committee filed
an objection, saying GM gave no documentation to support any
damages, let along $27.9 million.  A hearing is scheduled to be
held May 29 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware to deal with the
GM claim.

The Bloomberg report notes that Fisker, which halted making
electric autos, similarly had its battery-supply contract
terminated.  Fisker filed claims for $48.7 million on warranties
for batteries already sold and another $91.2 million for damages
arising from termination of the contract.  With the court's
approval, Fisker settled by being given one approved unsecured
warranty claim for $15 million.

                       About A123 Systems

Based in Waltham, Massachusetts, A123 Systems Inc. designed,
developed, manufactured and sold advanced rechargeable lithium-ion
batteries and battery systems and provided research and
development services to government agencies and commercial
customers.  A123 was the recipient of a $249 million federal grant
from the Obama administration.

A123 and U.S. affiliates, A123 Securities Corporation and Grid
Storage Holdings LLC, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 12-12859 to 12-12861) on Oct. 16, 2012.
A123 disclosed assets of $459.8 million and liabilities totaling
$376 million.  Lawyers at Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., and
Latham & Watkins LLP serve as the Debtors' counsel.  Lazard Freres
& Co. LLC acts as the Debtors' financial advisors, while Alvarez &
Marsal serves as restructuring advisors.  Logan & Company Inc.
serves as the Debtors' claims and noticing agent.  Brown Rudnick
LLP and Saul Ewing LLP serve as counsel to the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors.

Prior to the bankruptcy filing, A123 had an agreement to sell an
80% stake in the business to Chinese auto-parts maker Wanxiang
Group Corp.  U.S. lawmakers opposed the deal over concerns on the
transfer of American taxpayer dollars and technology to China.
When it filed for bankruptcy, the Debtors presented a deal to sell
all assets to Johnson Controls Inc., subject to higher and better
offers.  At the auction in December 2012, most of the assets ended
up being sold for $256.6 million to Wanxiang.  The deal received
approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. on
Jan. 29, 2013.

Wanxiang America Corporation and Wanxiang Clean Energy USA Corp.
are represented in the case by lawyers at Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor, LLP, and Sidley Austin LLP.  JCI is represented in the
case by Josh Feltman, Esq., at Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz LLP.

A123 has filed a liquidating Chapter 11 plan designed to give
holders of $143.75 million in subordinated notes a recovery of
about 65%.  General unsecured creditors with $124 million in
claims are to have the same recovery.  The plan provides for
holders of $35.7 million in senior note claims to be paid in full.


ACADIAN ENERGY: Delays Filing of Annual Financial Results
---------------------------------------------------------
Acadian Energy Inc. on April 30 disclosed that it will not be able
to file its audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2012, its management's discussion and analysis
relating to the financial statements, and the CEO and CFO
certificates by April 30, 2013 as required under securities laws.

The Corporation has applied for an order from the relevant
Canadian securities regulatory authorities for a management cease
trade order ("MCTO") as provided for in National Policy 12-203 -
Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-
203") which prohibits trading in securities of the Corporation by
certain insiders of the Corporation.  The granting of an MCTO is
at the discretion of the Canadians securities regulatory
authorities and there is no assurance that an order will be
granted.

The delay in filing the Disclosure Documents is a result of
insufficient opportunity available for the necessary preparation
and filing of the Disclosure Documents.

An MCTO would not generally affect the abilities of persons who
have not been directors, officers or insiders of the Corporation
to trade securities of the Corporation.  The Corporation intends
to satisfy the provisions of the alternate information guidelines
as set out in NP 12-203 for as long as the Corporation remains in
default, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status
reports, each of which will be issued in the form of a press
release.

                           About Acadian

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Acadian is a junior exploration
and production company which is focused on the exploration and
development of New Albany shale oil and natural gas in the
Illinois Basin.  The Corporation continues exploration development
of the oil potential of the New Albany Shale.  Acadian trades on
the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ACX.


ADVANCED LIVING: Has $18 Million Offer for Six Nursing Homes
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that Advanced Living Technologies Inc., the owner of six
not-for-profit Texas nursing homes, decided that an $18 million
offer from Southern TX SNF Realty LLC represents the best bid to
acquire the facilities.  According to the report, with a second
offer from another bidder for $750,000 less, Advanced Living
canceled the auction because the potential buyer with the lower
bid said it wouldn't raise the price.

There will be a hearing on May 9 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Austin, Texas, for approval of the sale.

The indenture trustee for the bondholders is consenting to the
sale at $18 million, according to a court filing.

              About Advanced Living Technologies

Advanced Living Technologies, Inc., owner of six skilled nursing
facilities throughout Texas, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
W.D. Tex. Case No. 13-10313) on Feb. 20, 2013, with plans to sell
substantially the facilities as a going-concern in two months.

The Debtor previously sought Chapter 11 protection in January 2008
(Bankr. W.D. Tex. Case No. 08-50040) and exited bankruptcy in May
2008.

In the new Chapter 11 case, the Debtor has tapped Hohmann, Taube &
Summers, LLP, as counsel, CohnReznick LLP, as financial advisor,
and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as investment banker.

As of the new Chapter 11 filing, the Debtor had total assets of
$12 million and liabilities of $25 million.


ALLSCRIPTS HEALTHCARE: S&P Lowers CCR to 'BB'; Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Chicago-based Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. to
'BB' from 'BB+'.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue level rating on the
$470 million term loan due 2015, $250 million revolver due 2015,
and $150 million incremental term loan due 2016 to 'BBB-' from
'BBB'.  The recovery rating remains '1', indicating a very high
(90% to 100%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

"The downgrade is based on our view that Allscripts' credit
profile has deteriorated during the past year due to weak
financial performance resulting from product integration issues, a
decline in new system sales, and higher debt load to support share
repurchases and acquisitions," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Andrew Chang.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Allscripts'
recent revenue declines will reverse over the near term and that
its stable recurring revenue base and high backlog will support
consistent profitability during the next year.


ALTISOURCE: S&P Lowers Rating on Senior Secured Loan to 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its rating
on Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.'s long-term senior secured
term loan to 'B+' from 'BB-' and revised the recovery rating to
'3' from '2.'  Standard & Poor's also said that it affirmed its
'B+' issuer credit rating on the company.  The outlook is
stable.

The rating actions followed Altisource's announcement that it will
issue an additional $200 million add-on to the $200 million long-
term senior secured term loan it issued in November 2012.  The
proposed issuance will provide long-term financing for part of the
firm's acquisition of the fee-based business from Ocwen Financial
Corp., as well as for stock repurchases and general purposes,
including acquisitions.  The company is also looking to add an
additional $200 million shelf to the existing offering.

The recovery rating on the firm's long-term senior secured term
loan reflects S&P's simulated default scenario, which contemplates
a default in 2017, resulting from client defections within the
mortgage services industry.  S&P believes that the company would
restructure in the event of a default because it would continue to
be a viable business due to its long-term client relationships and
investments in infrastructure.  To value the company, S&P applied
a 4.5x multiple to its projected default EBITDA amount of
$64 million.  After accounting for bankruptcy expenses of 3% of
the enterprise value, S&P arrived at a net distressed enterprise
value of about $275 million.  "We believe that the senior secured
creditors would receive meaningful recovery of 50%-70%," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jeffrey Zaun.  "We expect that
the firm will remain exposed to the vicissitudes of mortgage
cycles, but we view its recurring earnings as high quality."

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view of the operational risks
the firm's continued growth across multiple geographies and
multiple products pose as well as its strong core financial
performance and cash flow coverage.

S&P will monitor management's initiatives to diversify the firms'
products and customers.  An upgrade is unlikely over the next two
years because of operational risks and customer concentration.
S&P could downgrade the company if large acquisitions or depressed
economic conditions weaken its financial profile, degrading its
leverage and debt service metrics.

Over the long term, S&P expects that management will operate
Altisource with moderate amounts of long-term debt and maintain
debt to EBITDA of 1.5x-2.5x.  A failed acquisition or operational
problem could put pressure on capital.  If debt to EBITDA were to
increase to more than 3.0x on a sustained basis, without a
credible plan to reduce leverage, S&P could downgrade the firm.


ALVOGEN PHARMA: Moody's Assigns 'B3' CFR, Stable Outlook
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 Corporate Family Rating
and B3-PD Probability of Default Rating to Alvogen Pharma US, Inc.
Moody's also assigned a B3 rating to the proposed $225 million
senior secured term loan B. The rating outlook is stable. This is
the first time Moody's has rated Alvogen.

Ratings Assigned:

Corporate Family Rating, B3

Probability of Default Rating, B3-PD

$225 million senior secured term loan B, B3 (LGD3, 49%)

The outlook is stable.

Alvogen's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects its modest size and
scale within the highly competitive generic pharmaceutical
industry. The rating also reflects the company's high dependence
on a relatively few number of products for revenue and cash flow.

The company also has high geographic concentration, as its
operations are solely focused in the US, and high manufacturing
risk as all of the company's contract manufacturing business and
many of its generic drugs are produced out of a single facility in
Norwich, NY. The rating also reflects the limited track record of
Alvogen Pharma US in its current form and the risk that value is
transferred to outside of the credit group to fund the parent
company's emerging markets growth strategy. Operations outside of
the US credit group had negative EBITDA in 2012.

The rating is supported by adjusted debt to EBITDA that is
relatively moderate, at approximately 4.0 times. Further, with
minimal cash taxes and moderate capital expenditures, Moody's
expects the company to generate positive free cash flow. However,
meaningful debt repayment is unlikely as Moody's believe the
company will continue to make acquisitions and much of the cash
flow from Alvogen Pharma US will be deployed to support operations
outside of the US credit group.

With high product and manufacturing concentration and the
expectation that cash will flow out of the credit group, an
upgrade in the near term is unlikely. That being said, the ratings
could be upgraded should the company's leverage remain sustained
below 3.0 times, combined with additional business
diversification.

The ratings could be downgraded should there be material
deterioration in any key product franchise (i.e., a manufacturing
disruption) or if the company fails to obtain new product launches
and business wins to replace the declines in the current base
business. If leverage increase above 5.0 times or free cash flow
is negative Moody's could downgrade the ratings. Further, if the
company pursues material debt funded acquisitions or provides
support to operations outside of the credit group to a degree that
is detrimental to US creditors, Moody's could downgrade the
ratings. Failure to refinance or renew its ABL or put another form
of external liquidity into place over the next year could also
lead to a rating downgrade.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Pharmaceutical Industry published in December 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.

Alvogen Pharma US, Inc. is a subsidiary of Alvogen Lux Holdings
Sarl. Alvogen comprises the US generic pharmaceuticals and
contract manufacturing operations of LuxCo, which also has
international and other operations not included in the US credit
group. Alvogen reported US third party sales of under $200M for
the year ended December 31, 2012. Alvogen is 40% owned by Aztiq
SICAR investment fund (fully controlled by the company's CEO,
Robert Wessman,) and 60% owned by other investors, Al Maseera (a
Saudi family owned company) GMS Holdings (a Jordanian family owned
company) and US investment fund AFI Partners.


AMBAC FINANCIAL: Amended Plan of Reorganization Takes Effect
------------------------------------------------------------
Ambac Financial Group, Inc. on May 1 announced the effectiveness
of its Second Modified Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization, which
marks the completion of its financial restructuring and Ambac's
emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.  "I would like
thank all of those who dedicated so much time and effort,
including our employees and advisors, in helping us complete our
restructuring," said Diana Adams, Ambac's President and CEO.
"This is an exciting day and the start of a new chapter for all of
us at Ambac," Ms. Adams added.  "We emerge with a stronger balance
sheet and a commitment to a successful future.  Looking forward,
we expect to pursue a number of new initiatives and identify the
best opportunities for Ambac and our stakeholders."

Under the terms of the restructuring, all allowed claims of
Ambac's former creditors were discharged and such creditors
received new common stock, and in certain instances, new warrants,
issued by the reorganized company.  Ambac's new common stock and
warrants are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the
ticker symbols AMBC and AMBCW, respectively.  All common stock of
the Company in existence prior to Ambac's emergence from
bankruptcy has been cancelled.  Holders of such existing stock
have not, and will not, receive distributions under the Plan.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Proposes to Sell Debt Tied to Tulsa Lease
------------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp., the parent of American Airlines Inc., plans to sell
$215 million worth of debt tied to the airline's lease at Tulsa
International Airport.  The company will ask Judge Sean Lane at a
court hearing on May 9 to approve the sale of a series of bonds
dating back to two packages of improvements to its Maintenance &
Engineering Center in 1988 and 1991, Tulsa World reported.

The projects related to the bonds included the construction of
Hangar 6, upgrades to warehouses, and industrial waste treatment,
according to the report.  The interest-only bonds came due in 2000
and 2001, and were reissued.  About $215 million of the $425
million worth of bonds related to the Tulsa base is owned by
American Airlines, Tulsa World reported.

Gary Betow, secretary for the Tulsa Airport Authority, said the
airline would not be selling the bonds unless there was some
surety that it was keeping the Tulsa base.

"American would not be putting the bonds out on the public market
unless they have made a decision to stay in Tulsa and continue
making lease payments," Tulsa World quoted Mr. Betow as saying.

In connection with the proposed sale, AMR is also seeking
approval to enter into a remarketing agreement with Citigroup
Global Markets Inc. to serve as remarketing agent.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Has Settlement With NK Aviation
--------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp. asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan to approve
a settlement of claims with NK Aviation Ltd.

The claims stemmed from a pre-bankruptcy transaction involving
the sublease of 39 aircraft, which NK Aviation entered into with
AMR and its regional carrier American Airlines Inc.  A list of
the aircraft can be accessed for free at http://is.gd/sDEvjl

Under the deal, NK Aviation can assert a general unsecured claim
as well as an administrative claim against each of the companies.
The amount of each claim wasn't disclosed in the agreement, which
was filed under seal to protect "sensitive commercial
information," according to court filings.

"In the absence of the agreement with respect to the allowed
claims, the debtors would likely incur a great deal of time and
expense to contest and resolve such potential claims," said AMR
lawyer, Jasmine Ball, Esq., at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, in New
York.

A court hearing to consider approval of the proposed settlement
is scheduled for May 9.  Objections are due by May 2.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Seeks Stay Relief to Pursue Tax Refund
---------------------------------------------------------
AMR Corp., the parent of American Airlines Inc., asked Judge Sean
Lane to lift the automatic stay so that the airline can prosecute
its claims for refund against the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.

American Airlines was forced in 2011 to pay the assessment for
withholding taxes allegedly owed by the airline with respect to
the remuneration it paid to foreign flight attendants.

In July 2011, American Airlines filed a case against the
commissioner in the U.S. Tax Court.  The case was automatically
halted following the airline's bankruptcy filing.

AMR wants the stay lifted so that its regional carrier can move
ahead with its case against the commissioner, or file another
lawsuit in a district court.

"The debtors' estates would be harmed if they are prevented from
pursuing the potential refund from all reasonable avenues," said
AMR lawyer, Stephen Youngman, Esq., at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP,
in New York.

A court hearing is scheduled for May 9.  Objections are due by
May 2.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Travelport, Orbitz Deals Approved
----------------------------------------------------
American Airlines Inc. won a bankruptcy judge's approval to
settle its legal dispute with Travelport Ltd. and Orbitz
Worldwide LLC.

Judge Sean Lane of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan signed
off on an order approving the airline's two separate agreements
with the travel agencies to settle a lawsuit in federal district
court in Texas.

American Airlines sued both agencies, accusing them of
monopolizing how fares and flights are distributed to travel
agents.  A judge dismissed some of the airline's claims in
November 2011 but allowed the lawsuit to go ahead.

The settlement with Travelport also resolves the lawsuit filed by
the agency against the airline in the Circuit Court for Cook
County, Illinois.  As part of the deal, American Airlines will
receive cash payments and will take over some of their existing
contracts, which have been revised recently to improve the
distribution of the airline's products.

The suit is American Airlines Inc. vs. Travelport Limited, a
foreign corporation, and Travelport, LP, and Orbitz Worldwide,
LLC, Case No. 4:11-cv-00244-Y, in United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas Fort Worth Division.

AMPAL-AMERICAN: Committee Files Conversion Statement
----------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that Ampal-American Israel's official
committee of unsecured creditors filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court a statement regarding the motion to determine whether this
Chapter 11 case should be converted to a Chapter 7 case or
dismissed.

The committee states, "In connection with and in response to the
Motion to Convert or Dismiss and the OSC, we have been advised
that, in a special vote of the Debtor's Debenture holders held
last week, more than 75% of the Debenture holders in each
Debenture series (Series A, B and C) that participated in the
voting voted to support the conversion of the case to Chapter 7.
We have been further advised that, following conversion of the
case to Chapter 7, the Debenture holders intend to elect a trustee
pursuant to Section 702 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that certain
of the Debenture holders have expressed their willingness to
provide the elected Chapter 7 trustee with financing reasonably
necessary to support the trustee's activities," the BData report
related.

The committee continues, "The Committee members further report
that, at a general meeting of bondholders in connection with the
voting, they explained to the participating bondholders that votes
in favor of conversion to Chapter 7 would be, in essence, non-
effective without a commitment to provide at least the $500,000 in
financing that the Chapter 11 Trustee believes is necessary, on an
initial basis, to fund the Chapter 7 trustee's costs (including
the retention of appropriate professionals)," the report added.

                        About Ampal-American

Ampal-American Israel Corporation -- http://www.ampal.com/--
acquired interests primarily in businesses located in Israel or
that are Israel-related.  Ampal-American filed a Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-13689) on Aug. 29, 2012, to
restructure the Company's Series A, Series B and Series C
debentures.  Bankruptcy Judge Stuart M. Bernstein presides over
the case.  Ampal-American sought bankruptcy protection in the U.S.
because bankruptcy laws in Israel would lead to the Company's
liquidation.

Michelle McMahon, Esq., at Bryan Cave LLP, serves as the Debtor's
counsel.  Houlihan Lokey serves as investment banker.

The petition was signed by Irit Eluz, chief financial officer,
senior vice president.  The Company scheduled $290,664,095 in
total assets and $349,413,858 in total liabilities.

A three-member official committee of unsecured creditors is
represented by Brown Rudnick as counsel.


ATLANTIC AVIATION: S&P Assigns 'BB-' CCR; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it assigned its 'BB-'
corporate credit rating to Atlantic Aviation FBO Inc.  The outlook
is stable.  At the same time, S&P assigned its 'BB-' issue rating
to the proposed $535 million senior secured first-lien credit
facility, which consists of a $70 million revolver and a
$465 million term loan.  The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of
payment default.

"The ratings on Atlantic Aviation reflect our expectations that
credit measures will likely improve modestly over the next year,
but remain appropriate for the ratings, primarily as a result of
earnings growth," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Tatiana
Kleiman.  S&P do not expect any material debt repayment because
Atlantic Aviation will distribute all excess cash to its parent,
Macquarie Infrastructure Co. LLC (MIC).  The rating does not
include any benefit for ongoing or extraordinary support from MIC,
nor is it limited by S&P's criteria on financial-sponsor-owned
companies because MIC is an infrastructure fund.

"We assess the company's business risk as "fair," reflecting the
firm's position as the largest provider in the U.S. of fixed based
operation (FBO) services to the cyclical general aviation market,
limited growth and expansion opportunities, high barriers to
entry, good customer and geographic diversity, and solid
profitability.  We expect revenues and earnings grow modestly over
the next 12 to 18 months due to gradual improvements in business
jet usage.  We assess the company's financial risk profile as
"aggressive" based on its relatively moderate leverage and good
cash generation that it distributes to the parent company.  We
assess liquidity as "adequate" under our criteria," S&P said.

MIC plans to reduce leverage at Atlantic Aviation, one of five
companies it owns and operates, by refinancing the FBO operator's
existing debt ($677 million of bank loans) using the proceeds from
a new $465 million term loan, cash on hand, and proceeds from new
MIC equity.  S&P believes that the transaction will result in pro
forma adjusted debt to EBITDA of 4.2x and adjusted funds from
operations (FFO) to debt of about 17% in 2013 compared with actual
2012 ratios of about 6x and 10%, respectively.  S&P expects credit
metrics to improve only gradually because improvement depends on
earnings growth, rather than debt reduction, because Atlantic
Aviation will distribute excess cash flows to MIC and the only
debt reduction scheduled is the amortization of $4.65 million.
Therefore, S&P expects adjusted debt to EBITDA to be about 4x and
adjusted FFO to debt in the high-teens percentage area by 2014.

The outlook is stable.  Revenue and earnings should grow modestly
in the next 12 months due to higher business jet usage.  S&P
expects credit ratios to improve slightly over the next year,
primarily because of increasing earnings.  S&P could lower the
rating if the weak economy or a spike in fuel prices result in
declines in business jet usage and lower earnings, or if debt
increases to fund acquisitions, resulting in adjusted debt to
EBITDA above 5x.  Although unlikely in the next year, S&P could
raise the ratings if earnings improvement is greater than it
expects or if the company uses excess cash flows to reduce debt,
resulting in adjusted debt to EBITDA below 3.5x and adjusted FFO
to debt above 20%.


B&T OLSON: Court Confirms Chapter 11 Plan
-----------------------------------------
Judge Karen A. Overstreet of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Washington has confirmed B&T Olson Family
LLC's Second Amended Plan of Reorganization after determining that
the Plan complies with the confirmation requirements under Section
1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Plan provides for the following classification and treatment
of claims:

   * Class 1 - Secured Claims of Opus Bank.  Opus Bank will retain
     the lien of its deed of trust encumbering the Port Susan
     Building, the Team Fitness Building, the Resilience Fitness
     Building, and Camano Building G.  Upon the completion of the
     deliveries, the amount of the Class 1 Claim will be deemed
     allowed in the amount of $2.1 million.  The Class 1 Allowed
     Claim will be amortized for payment in 120 equal monthly
     payments, with an interest of 4.75% per annum.

   * Class 2 - Secured Claim of Union Bank.  The Class 2 Claim
     will be allowed in the amount of $1,172,980, less principal
     reductions from payments made following the Petition Date.
     Union Bank will retain the lien of its deed of trust
     encumbering the Team Fitness Building, following the
     Effective Date until the Class 2 Claim is paid in full.  The
     Class 2 Claim will be amortized for payment based on a
     straight-line amortization beginning in the first full month
     following the Effective Date, with all amounts being due and
     payable in December 2017.  Interest will accrue on the unpaid
     balance at a rate of 4.75% per annum.

   * Class 3 - Secured Claim of KeyBank.  The Class 3 Claim will
     be allowed for $2,200,923.  KeyBank will retain the liens of
     its deed of trust encumbering the Camano Buildings D, E & F
     following the Effective Date.  On the Effective Date, the
     Debtor will execute and deliver to KeyBank Deeds in Lieu
     conveying to KeyBank or its designee Camano Buildings D, E &
     F in partial satisfaction of the Class 3 Claims.

   * Class 4 - Secured Claim of Snohomish County Treasurer.  The
     Debtor has paid to Snohomish County $22,817 following the
     Petition Date.  The Class 4 Claim is therefore allowed for
     $186,576.  Snohomish County will retain its statutory liens
     against certain properties until the Class 4 Claim is paid in
     full.  The remaining balance of the Class 4 Claim will be
     amortized for payment in 54 equal monthly payments, with an
     interest of 5.0% per annum.

   * Class 5 - Secured Claim of Island County Treasurer.  The
     Class 5 Claim will be allowed for $9,804.  The remaining
     balance of the Class 5 Claim will be amortized for payments
     in 54 equal monthly payments, with an interest of 5.0% per
     annum.

   * Class 6 - General Unsecured Claims.  All Class 6 Claims will
     be paid in full in two payments.  Interest will accrue on the
     unpaid balance of each Allowed Claim that is a Class 6 Claim
     following the Effective Date at the Federal Judgment Rate.

   * Class 7 - Allowed Interests of Members.  The Members will
     retain those interests but will receive no distributions on
     account of those interests (i) if there exists a default
     under payments owing to any other Class, or (ii) the Debtor
     will fail to make any payment due on the Effective Date.

BENEDICT COLLEGE: S&P Lowers Rating to 'BB-'; Outlook Negative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long term rating to
'BB-' and maintained its negative outlook on South Carolina
Educational Facilities Authority's series 2002 education facility
capital improvement bonds, issued for Benedict College.

"The 'BB-' rating reflects a further decline in financial resource
ratios in fiscal 2012 to an extremely weak 5.6% of operating
expenses and 6.7% of outstanding debt, coupled with a 9.1% decline
in enrollment for fall 2012 due to unexpected changes in federal
loan payment processing," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Jessica Matsumori.  "These changes affected students' ability to
pay tuition and will, consequently, put further operating pressure
on the college in fiscal 2013.  The bulk of the college's cash and
investments are currently restricted for debt service or as
collateral for debt.  The college faces a large note payment of
$8.4 million by June 30, 2013, which it intends to extend through
an upcoming refinancing transaction.  In addition, the majority of
students rely on Pell Grant or federal loan funding for the cost
of tuition, and changes to either program could be a significant
credit risk," added Ms. Matsumori.

A negative outlook was originally placed on the rating last year
in anticipation of the issuance of a significant amount of
additional debt.  While this debt was not issued, the college's
declining financial resources coupled with large upcoming note
payments and decreasing enrollment that is very sensitive to the
economy and federal loans remain significant risks.  However,
budget-to-actuals seem to indicate another operating surplus for
fiscal 2013 despite the decline in enrollment.


BERNARD L. MADOFF: Trustee's Lawyers Still Cost $10MM a Month
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that the trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment
Securities Inc. and his primary bankruptcy lawyers filed papers
this week for approval of $49.1 million in fees for five months'
work from July 1 to Nov. 30.

According to the report, the requested fees are about 20 percent
smaller than the $61.7 million fee request for the prior five-
month period.  The requested fees include reductions totaling
about $9.2 million. The cuts include a 10 percent reduction from
the firm's standard hourly rates negotiated at the outset of the
liquidation and another $3.75 million sought by SIPC for the most
recent payment period. In the most recent fee period, the
trustee's lawyers worked 135,000 hours at a mixed hourly rate of
$364.

There will be a May 29 hearing for approval of the fees.

The report notes that Madoff trustee Irving Picard and his
principal lawyers from Baker & Hostetler LLP so far have collected
or have agreements to bring in $9.3 billion for defrauded
customers.  None of the collections are paid to Mr. Picard and his
lawyers, because the Securities Investor Protection Corp. pays
expenses of the liquidation.  Mr. Picard's recoveries have enabled
customers to recover 53 percent of the amount invested in the
Madoff fraud. Customers' total investments are $17.3 billion.

So far, about $5.5 billion has been given to creditors in three
distributions, the most recent on March 29.  The remainder must be
held back as a result of disputed claims and other litigated
issues.  SIPC has advanced the trustee more than $800 million to
cover the first $500,000 of each customer's claim.

                      About Bernard L. Madoff

Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC and Bernard L. Madoff
orchestrated the largest Ponzi scheme in history, with losses
topping US$50 billion.  On Dec. 15, 2008, the Honorable Louis A.
Stanton of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York granted the application of the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation for a decree adjudicating that the
customers of BLMIS are in need of the protection afforded by the
Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970.  The District Court's
Protective Order (i) appointed Irving H. Picard, Esq., as trustee
for the liquidation of BLMIS, (ii) appointed Baker & Hostetler LLP
as his counsel, and (iii) removed the SIPA Liquidation proceeding
to the Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Adv. Pro. No. 08-01789)
(Lifland, J.).  Mr. Picard has retained AlixPartners LLP as claims
agent.

On April 13, 2009, former BLMIS clients filed an involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against Bernard Madoff (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 09-11893).  The case is before Hon. Burton Lifland.  The
petitioning creditors -- Blumenthal & Associates Florida General
Partnership, Martin Rappaport Charitable Remainder Unitrust,
Martin Rappaport, Marc Cherno, and Steven Morganstern -- assert
US$64 million in claims against Mr. Madoff based on the balances
contained in the last statements they got from BLMIS.

On April 14, 2009, Grant Thornton UK LLP as receiver placed Madoff
Securities International Limited in London under bankruptcy
protection pursuant to Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
(Bankr. S.D. Fla. 09-16751).

The Chapter 15 case was later transferred to Manhattan.  In June
2009, Judge Lifland approved the consolidation of the Madoff SIPA
proceedings and the bankruptcy case.

Judge Denny Chin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York on June 29, 2009, sentenced Mr. Madoff to
150 years of life imprisonment for defrauding investors in United
States v. Madoff, No. 09-CR-213 (S.D.N.Y.).

BIRDSALL SERVICES: Has Purchase Offer; Wants to Pay Bonuses
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kathleen Hopkins, writing for Asbury Park Press, reports that
Edwin I. Stier, the Chapter 11 trustee for Birdsall Services
Group, filed papers with the federal bankruptcy court in Trenton,
N.J., on Wednesday seeking permission to pay $728,300 in bonuses
to 215 people who remain employed by the company:

     -- $205,000 to be paid to 19 members of senior management
        in positions of senior vice president and higher; and

     -- $523,300 to be paid to 196 other employees.

In exchange for receiving the payments, the report continues, the
employees have to agree to remain at the firm until it is sold,
and then negotiate in good faith for employment with the
purchaser.  The bonuses are to entice the employees to stay while
a sale is being arranged, company spokesman Joseph Orlando said,
according to the report.  The proposed bonuses range from $500 to
$15,000, according to court papers.

According to the report, Bowman Consulting, an engineering firm
based in Chantilly, Va., with offices in nine other states, last
week signed a letter of intent to purchase Birdsall.  The report
relates papers filed with the bankruptcy court Wednesday say that
the trustee contemplates a sale of Birdsall's assets within 120
days of April 15, when Birdsall reached its settlement with the
state.

New Jersey, filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D.N.J. Case
No. 13-16743) on March 29, 2013, when the state attorney general
indicted the business and obtained a court order seizing the
assets.

Birdsall was accused by the state of violating laws prohibiting
so-called pay-to-play, where businesses make political
contributions in return for government contracts.  The state
charged that the company arranged for individuals to make
contributions and then reimbursed the employees.  A company
officer pleaded guilty last year to making political contributions
disguised to appear as though made by individuals.

The Chapter 11 petition filed in Trenton, New Jersey, disclosed
assets of $41.6 million and liabilities totaling $27 million.
Debt includes $3.6 million owing to a bank on a secured claim and
$2.4 million in payables to trade suppliers.


BORDERS GROUP: Gift Card Holders Push to Revive Refund Claims
-------------------------------------------------------------
Richard Vanderford of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that customers who
hold gift cards from bankrupt book seller Borders Group Inc. asked
a federal judge Tuesday to let them bring a class action seeking
refunds, saying they did not get an adequate chance to press their
claims.

According to the report, Borders never made a legitimate attempt
to reach out to about 17 million gift card holders, lawyer Daniel
A. Zazove of Perkins Coie LLP told U.S. District Judge Andrew
Carter Jr. at a hearing in Manhattan federal court.

CABLEVISION SYSTEMS: Clearview Sale No Impact on Moody's Ba2 CFR
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that the announced plan of
Cablevision Systems Corporation (Cablevision) to sell Clearview
Cinemas is credit positive but does not affect Cablevision's Ba2
corporate family rating or negative outlook. Moody's believes the
disposition of the theater operations will improve Cablevision's
liquidity profile with no meaningful impact on the remaining
operations.

The transaction would eliminate a business which Moody's estimates
consume cash. Also, since Clearview Cinemas do not have digital
projectors, Moody's believes that for the theaters to remain
competitive, Cablevision would have had to invest heavily to
upgrade the equipment. The sale will relieve Cablevision of this
necessary capital expenditures, enabling the company to direct
more cash to its core cable operations. Residential Cablevision
customers have access to various discounts at Clearview,
supporting retention, but Moody's does not expect the elimination
of this perk to cause material customer defection.

Bow Tie will acquire 41 Clearview Cinemas movie theaters,
substantially all of Cablevision's cinema operations. Bow Tie will
not acquire the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City but will manage
it on Cablevision's behalf.

Headquartered in Bethpage, New York, Cablevision Systems
Corporation serves approximately 2.9 million video customers, 2.8
million high speed data customers, and 2.3 million voice customers
in and around the New York metropolitan area. Cablevision is the
direct parent of CSC Holdings, LLC (CSC), which also owns Newsday
LLC, the publisher of Newsday and other niche publications.

CEREPLAST INC: IBC Funds Owned 8.6% Equity Stake at April 19
------------------------------------------------------------
In a Schedule 13G filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, IBC Funds, LLC, disclosed that, as of April 19, 2013,
it beneficially owned 28,868,960 shares of common stock of
Cereplast, Inc., representing 8.667% of the shares outstanding.
A copy of the filing is available at http://is.gd/OhjMrm

                         About Cereplast

El Segundo, Calif.-based Cereplast, Inc., has developed and is
commercializing proprietary bio-based resins through two
complementary product families: Cereplast Compostables(R) resins
which are compostable, renewable, ecologically sound substitutes
for petroleum-based plastics, and Cereplast Sustainables(TM)
resins (including the Cereplast Hybrid Resins product line), which
replaces up to 90% of the petroleum-based content of traditional
plastics with materials from renewable resources.

Cereplast disclosed a net loss of $30.16 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $14 million in 2011.  The Company's
balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $16.18 million in total
assets, $26.20 million in total liabilities and a $10.02 million
total shareholders' deficit.

HJ Associates & Consultants, LLP, in Salt Lake City, Utah, 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 suffered significant recurring
losses, has a significant accumulated deficit, and has
insufficient working capital to fund planned operations.  These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"Our plan to address the shortfall of working capital is to
generate additional financing through a combination of refinancing
existing credit facilities, incremental product sales and raising
additional debt and equity financing.  We are confident that we
will be able to deliver on our plans, however, there are no
assurances that we will be able to obtain any sources of financing
on acceptable terms, or at all.

If we cannot obtain sufficient additional financing in the short-
term, we may be forced to curtail or cease operations or file for
bankruptcy," according to the Company's annual report for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2012.


CHRYSLER GROUP: Hits a Pothole over Retooling
---------------------------------------------
Christina Rogers, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that Chrysler Group LLC's first-quarter profit fell 65% compared
with a year earlier as a result of lower auto shipments due to
idled factories and higher retooling costs ahead of the launch of
several new vehicles.

According to the Bloomberg report, the Auburn Hills, Mich.-based
auto maker said profit fell due to lower output at several
factories preparing for the launch of new vehicles, such as the
2014 Jeep Cherokee. It also cited higher costs associated with
upgrading plants to build new versions of its Ram heavy duty
pickup trucks and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Bloomberg related that while retooling factories is a recurring
part of new vehicle introductions, production losses on some of
the company's highest-margin vehicles took a toll on earnings,
contributing to a "not so glorious" quarter, Chief Executive
Sergio Marchionne said during a conference call on Monday.

"It wasn't painless," he added, Bloomberg cited. "It should have
not caused the disruption that it did, but it has. We've learned
and we're moving on from here."

The results come as Chrysler, which nearly four years ago emerged
from a federally financed bankruptcy restructuring under Fiat
management, strives to keep its U.S. sales expanding after several
years of rapid growth and market-share gains, the report further
related.

Chrysler's profits are critical to Italy's Fiat SpA, which owns
58.5% of Chrysler and has been battered by declining sales in
Europe, the Bloomberg report said. Fiat on Monday reported a
first-quarter loss attributed to shareholders of EUR83 million
($108.7 million), including the U.S. company's profit.

CNL LIFESTYLE: S&P Lowers Corp. Credit & Sr. Unsec. Ratings to 'B'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its corporate
credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on Orlando, Fla.-based
CNL Lifestyle Properties Inc. and its subsidiary, CNL Income
Partners L.P. (collectively CNL), to 'B' from 'B+'.  The outlook
is stable.  S&P also lowered the senior unsecured issue-level
rating to 'B' from 'B+'.  The recovery rating on these notes
remains '3', indicating S&P's expectation of a meaningful recovery
(50%-70%) for lenders in the event of a payment default.  The
rating action affects $397 million of rated debt.

"CNL's financial risk profile has deteriorated, given its
increased secured debt levels and persistently weak cash flow,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Eugene Nusinzon.

Pro rata for joint venture (JV) interests, CNL's debt to EBITDA
rose to 10.0x at year-end 2012 (from 8.7x at year-end 2011) and
fixed-charge coverage (FCC) dipped to 1.4x (from 1.6x).  Given
potential challenges posed by further repositioning of the
company's property portfolio--which has been beset by a large
underperforming lease restructuring and three tenant defaults over
the past year--and S&P's assessment of management's financial
policy as "aggressive," S&P believes meaningful deleveraging is
unlikely.  As such, S&P considers CNL's financial risk profile
"highly leveraged."  Still, portfolio operating performance is
likely to improve over the next one to two years, in S&P's view.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's view that operating fundamentals
within CNL's lifestyle and senior housing portfolio are firming,
in line with consumer spending and the broader economy.  S&P
estimates that CNL's leased portfolio will sustain relatively
static tenant-level rent coverage in 2013, while its managed
portfolio will generate low-single-digit percent revenue growth.
As such, a further downgrade within the 12-month period addressed
by the outlook is relatively unlikely, in S&P's view.

Still, S&P would consider lowering the ratings if the revolving
credit facility covenant cushions materially contracts--for
example, because of a meaningful rise in leverage, an unexpected
large tenant default, or operating deterioration at one of the
company's larger managed properties.

S&P sees little likelihood of an upgrade within the next 12
months, based on its view that management's aggressive financial
policy will preclude meaningful deleveraging.


CODA HOLDINGS: Files for Ch. 11 to Sell to Fortress Group
---------------------------------------------------------
CODA Holdings, Inc. on May 1 disclosed that it is focusing its
business strategy on the growing energy storage market.  CODA
plans to implement the restructuring of its business through a
voluntary filing under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
The voluntary petition was filed on May 1 in the District of
Delaware.  This process is intended to enable the Company to
complete a sale, confirm a Plan and emerge from bankruptcy in a
stronger position to execute its new business plan.  The Company
expects the sale process to take 45 days to complete.

FCO MA CODA Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Fortress Investment
Group, is leading a consortium of lenders intending to provide
debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to enable the Company's
energy storage business to remain fully operational during the
restructuring process.  The Company has filed a motion with the
bankruptcy court for approval of the consortium, or its designee,
as the stalking horse bidder in the sale process to acquire the
Company post-bankruptcy.  In addition, the Company will seek to
monetize value of its existing automotive business assets.

"After concluding a comprehensive review of our strategic options,
the Board of Directors, management team and senior lending group
have concluded that focusing on the Company's energy storage
business presents the best opportunity moving forward," said Phil
Murtaugh, Chief Executive Officer, CODA Holdings, Inc.  "We
believe the restructuring process that we have entered into today
will enable the Company to complete a sale and confirm a Plan that
maximizes the value of its assets, serving the best interests of
our stakeholders."

CODA diversified its business and formed CODA Energy two years
ago.  CODA Energy's products are based on the same core
technology, which includes its proprietary battery management and
thermal management systems, found in CODA's vehicles adapted for
stationary energy storage applications.  The Company designs and
builds scalable, custom energy storage solutions optimized for
generation, distribution and behind-the-meter applications for
commercial, residential and industrial end users.  The Company is
currently shipping product, and has a robust pipeline of new
customers and existing installations in the field.

CODA's legal advisor in connection with the restructuring is White
& Case LLP.  Emerald Capital Advisors serves as its Chief
Restructuring Officer and restructuring advisor, and Houlihan
Lokey serves as its investment banker for the restructuring.
Sidley Austin LLP is serving as FCO MA CODA Holdings LLC's legal
advisor.

COMMUNITY MEMORIAL: Plan Confirmation Hearing Set for May 30
------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Daniel S. Opperman of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan, Northern Division - Bay City,
granted preliminary approval of the disclosure statement
explaining the Plan of Reorganization proposed by the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 cases
of Community Memorial Hospital.

The deadline to return ballots on the Plan, as well as to file
objections to final approval of the disclosure statement and
objections to confirmation of the plan, is May 23, 2013.  The
hearing on objections to final approval of the disclosure
statement and confirmation of the plan will be held on May 30, at
1:30 p.m.  The deadline for all professionals to file final fee
applications is June 13.

The fundamental structure of the Committee Plan is very similar to
the Debtor's Plan.  The Plan contemplates that a Liquidating
Trustee will seek a full and final resolution of any and all
security interests asserted or associated with the Accounts
Receivable and the Accounts Receivable Proceeds.  Upon
determination of any valid security interest in the Accounts
Receivable and the Accounts Receivable Proceeds, the holders of
the Allowed Class 3 Claim (Citizens Bank Secured Claims) and the
Allowed Class 4 Claim (USDA Secured Claim) will receive a 20% cash
payment and a promissory note for the balance of the claim secured
by Accounts Receivable and payable in 12 quarterly installments
with interest at 5%, but only to the extent of determined security
interest of the holders of those Claims.

Under the Plan, the Allowed Class 3 Claims, which are also secured
by the Lincoln Bridge Plaza Property, will also be treated in
accordance with Section 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Bankruptcy Code,
by receiving the Lincoln Bridge Plaza Property as a distribution
on the Effective Date.

The Michigan Department of Community Health, which administers
Medicaid, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which
administers Medicare, have asserted prepetition claims against the
Debtor for overpayments.  The Debtor operated for approximately
five weeks after the Petition Date.  Accordingly, the Creditors'
Committee believes that postpetition reimbursement obligations
owing by either MDCH or CMS to the Debtor, if any, are de minimus
in amount. To the extent that MDCH and/or CMS have postpetition
reimbursement obligations owing to the Debtor, those obligations
may be recouped against their Allowed prepetition claims.  The
setoff and recoupment rights of MCDH and CMS are not Claims.
Accordingly, the Plan does not provide treatment of those rights
and the Plan does not affect or impair such rights.

CONSTELLATION BRANDS: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' Issuer Default Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has resolved the Rating Watch Negative status of
Constellation Brands Inc.'s ratings, placed on Watch on Feb. 15,
2013, and assigned the ratings a Stable Outlook. The action
follows the company's revised agreement that it would acquire
Grupo Modelo's Piedras Negras brewery and perpetual rights to the
Corona and Modelo brands in the U.S. for $2.9 billion in addition
to the remaining 50% of Crown Imports LLC (Crown), a 50-50 joint
venture with Grupo Modelo, it does not own for $1.85 billion. The
total combined purchase price will be $4.75 billion excluding
closing adjustment.

Fitch has taken the following rating actions on Constellation
Brands Inc. and related entities:

The following ratings have been affirmed:

Constellation Brands, Inc. (Parent)

-- Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BB+';
-- Senior unsecured notes at 'BB+'.
-- Senior secured credit facility at 'BB+';
-- $516 million Term A Facility at 'BB+';
-- $247 million Term A-1 Facility at 'BB+';
-- $850 million Revolver Facility at 'BB+'.

The following ratings have been assigned:

Constellation Brands, Inc. (Parent)

-- $675 million Term A-2 Facility 'BB+'.

CHI International S.a.r.l. (Wholly Owned Subsidiary)

-- Long-term IDR 'BB+'.

Fitch has concurrently assigned the following ratings to the
proposed debt used to partially finance the acquisition:

CHI International S.a.r.l. (Wholly Owned Subsidiary)

-- $500 million European senior secured Term Loan A 'BB+';
-- $1,000 million European senior secured Term Loan B 'BB+'.

Constellation Brands, Inc. (Parent)

-- $1,550 million senior unsecured notes IDR 'BB+'.

Constellation had approximately $3.3 billion of debt at Feb. 28,
2013. The Rating Outlook is Stable.

The ratings affirmation of Constellation recognizes leverage will
increase materially outside of Fitch's current expectations for
the 'BB+' rating category. Debt reduction in the first year
following the acquisition close should exceed $500 million due
primarily to free cash flow (FCF) generation. Debt reduction
efforts during year two will be muted due to the revolver drawdown
and subsequent repayment through FCF for the purchase price
adjustment of approximately $550 million, although continued
deleveraging should occur primarily through cash flow growth.
Capital investment will remain elevated for a three-year period to
increase brewery capacity, thus becoming self-sufficient from
Groupo Modelo. Consequently, leverage is expected to remain
moderately outside of the high end of Fitch's rating expectations
at the end of FY 2015 with leverage in the 4x-4.5x range.

Fitch believes this increased financial risk is mitigated by
Constellation's sizable and stable cash generation and record of
commitment toward deleveraging the past several years. Fitch views
Constellation as having relatively lower business risk in the
beer, spirits and wine categories with increased diversification
of revenues through this acquisition. As such, the beer operations
generate approximately 55% of Constellation's pro forma EBITDA,
which compares to approximately 25% prior to the acquisition.

Fitch acknowledges the potential for some transaction risk
associated with the new operations in Mexico. However, overall
these risks should be manageable. This is due to Constellation
already managing the distribution rights through the Crown joint
venture, Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) supporting the transaction
with a three-year transition services agreement, and the stand-
alone nature of Mexican brewery operations reducing the carve-out
risk from Grupo Modelo. Consequently, Fitch expects Constellation
Brands will generate stable to increasing levels of FCF driven
principally by expectations for favorable industry demand trends,
further leverage on new product development, and the potential for
increased efficiencies through cost synergies.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Market Positions and Diversification:
Constellation is one of the foremost leading producers of premium
wine and spirits with leading market share positions in the U.S.,
Canada and New Zealand. Constellation markets multiple wine brands
across all categories and at several price points. Its well-known
wine brands include; Robert Mondavi Brands, Clos du Bois,
Estancia, Black Box, Arbor Mist, Blackstone, Rex Goliath, Simi,
Toasted Head, Mark West, Ravenswood, Franciscan Estate, Ruffino,
Wild Horse, Kim Crawford, Mount Veeder, Nobilo, Inniskillin and
Jackson-Triggs. Premium spirit brands in its portfolio include
SVEDKA Vodka, Black Velvet Canadian Whisky and Paul Masson Grande
Amber Brandy, all of which, according to the company, have a
leading position in their respective categories. In the U.S,
Constellation sells 14 of the top-selling 100 table wine brands.

Through its Crown J.V., Constellation has the exclusive right to
import, market and sell primarily Grupo Modelo's Mexican beer
portfolio in the 50 states of the U.S., the District of Columbia
and Guam. Modelo captures a 7% market share of the large, highly
profitable, albeit mature U.S. Beer market. The Crown portfolio of
brands includes Corona Extra, and according to the company, it is
the best-selling imported beer and the sixth best-selling beer
overall in the industry. Corona Light is the leading imported
light beer.

Solidified Beer Position
As a result of the revised agreement discussed above,
Constellation will have total and complete control over all
aspects of Modelo brands distributed in the U.S. and the Crown
business for the U.S. market. (ABI will provide a perpetual and
exclusive license to Constellation for the Modelo Brands. The
Piedras Negras brewery fulfills approximately 60% of Crown's
current demand, which will require an expansion of the facility
and an incremental investment of approximately $500 million over
the next three years, in order to be able to supply 100% of
Crown's needs for the U.S. marketplace.

Fitch believes there is excellent strategic rationale for the
transaction, given Constellation's expertise in marketing the
Crown portfolio, the growth of imported beer sales in the U.S.,
and the strength of the Corona brand, and the high earnings and
strong cash flow characteristic of the beer market. Ownership
transition risk should be minimized as ABI and Constellation have
also agreed to a three-year transition services contract to ensure
the smooth transition. The companies claim that the Piedras Negras
is a world-class brewery that is fully self-sufficient, utilizes
top-of-the-line technology and was built to be readily expanded to
increase production capacity.

Transaction Financing, Covenants and Guarantees
Constellation indicated that it had fully committed $4.375 billion
in bridge financing to complete the acquisition. Permanent
financing is expected to consist of up to $3.725 billion of senior
credit facilities composed of term loans and senior notes, with
the remainder of the funding coming from the company's existing
revolving credit facility, accounts receivable securitization
facility and available cash.
Financial covenants for the credit facility are expected to
include a maximum total leverage covenant of 5.75x until the first
anniversary from the closing, stepping down to 5.50x thereafter
and a minimum interest coverage covenant of 2.50x. Most other
negative covenants are essentially unchanged from Constellation's
existing credit facility. Minimal restrictions exist for the
issuance of incremental debt, and restricted payments are
generally allowed if leverage as defined by the facility is equal
to or less than 4.5x. Mandatory prepayments include amortization
payments on the term loans and proceeds from material assets sales
unless reinvested within a pre-specified time period.

Constellation, the U.S. borrower will guarantee the debt of CHI
International S.a.r.l., the European borrower of the $500 million
European Term Loan A and $1,000 million European Term Loan B. The
U.S. secured credit facilities will be secured by 100% of the
capital stock of material U.S. subsidiaries and 55%-65% of certain
interests of certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The European
debt will be secured by the capital stock of its first-tier
subsidiaries, which will include the Piedras Negras brewery and
intellectual property rights.

Credit Measures and Liquidity
Fitch estimates that on a pro forma basis, total debt-to-EBITDA
will be just over 5.0x. Annual combined FCF is estimated to range
between approximately $500 million-$600 million for the first
couple of years after allowing for incremental capex. For the LTM
period ending Feb. 28, 2013, Constellation's 50% share of the
Crown cash distribution was approximately $230.2 million. Debt-to-
adjusted EBITDA, including the equity income from Crown, was 3.6x
for the period, and EBITDA plus equity income-to-interest expense
was 3.9 x. Constellation debt reduction after the first year will
be slower initially as Fitch expects the company to fund the post-
closing adjustment of approximately $550 million and the Piedras
Negras brewery expansion. The Mexican business generated an
estimated EBITDA of $370 million for the calendar year 2012.

Constellation's liquidity remains adequate as a result of the
transaction. As of Feb. 28, 2013, the company had a cash position
of $331 million and approximately $835 million of availability
under its $850 million revolving five-year secured credit facility
that matures in 2018. The company has minimal maturities in fiscal
2014 and substantial maturities in fiscal 2015 and 2017 of $500
million and $700 million, respectively. Annual amortization
requirements are approximately $42 million and $84 million for the
first two years following transaction close, stepping up to $119
million and $154 million in years three and four, respectively.
Fitch expects FCF to further strengthen during the next couple of
years. FCF in FY2013 was $494 million.

Recent Operating Performance
During FY2013, Constellation generated $2.8 billion of net sales,
an increase of 3.3% adjusted for acquisitions. Organic shipment
volumes increased 5.3% for the fourth quarter and 3.3% for the
fiscal year 2013 as growth was driven by the volume increases in
Constellation's Focus brands of 11.7% and 7.7% for the quarter and
the year, respectively. Constellation's efforts in innovating and
promoting new product development allowed Constellation to take
share during the past fiscal year. The company expects sales
growth in the low to middle single digit range for the beer
business and volume growth of at least at the same level as the
U.S. wine and spirits category.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

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

-- Given the increase in leverage as a result of the acquisition,
    an upgrade of Constellation's ratings is not anticipated in
    the near to intermediate term.

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

-- Significant and ongoing deterioration in operating results
    that inhibits a reduction in leverage back to near the top end
    of the 3x-4x range within a 24-month period post close of the
    acquisition.

-- Additional material debt-financed acquisitions.

-- Management allocating FCF for other strategic equity-friendly
    initiatives before reducing leverage back in line with
    expectations for the 'BB+' rating category.


CONSTELLATION BRANDS: Moody's Rates $1.55-Bil. Notes Issue 'Ba1'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating to Constellation
Brands' proposed new $1.55 billion senior unsecured notes and a
loss given default assessment of LGD 4 (51%). The company's Ba1
CFR and other ratings were not changed. The proceeds will be used,
together with about $3 billion in new bank debt and drawdowns
under existing bank and securitization facilities (unrated), to
finance the acquisition of Modelo's 50% share in the Crown
distribution joint venture as well as the acquisition of the
Piedras Negras brewery in Mexico. This follows the announced
regulatory settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. The
notes are callable in the event that the transaction does not
close by year end. The rating outlook remains negative.

Rating Rationale:

Constellation's recent agreement with the U.S. Department of
Justice establishes Constellation not only as the full owner of
the Crown distribution business but also of the entire Modelo
business in the U.S. through the ownership of the Mexican brewery
that produces beer for the U.S. market. Importantly, Constellation
will now have the perpetual license for Modelo brands in the U.S.
The rating outlook remains negative reflecting the meaningful
increase in leverage at Constellation that will result from the
debt financed purchase price of about $4.75 billion (subject to a
post-closing adjustment), as well as the greater integration risk
as Constellation takes on both the role of brewer and distributor.

"The purchase of the Piedras Negras brewery in Northern Mexico, as
well as the perpetual rights to the Modelo brands in the US, is a
long term credit positive for Constellation as it secures it a
number three position in the US beer market behind ABI and Molson
Coors in the attractive and fast growing premium import beer
segment," said Linda Montag, Moody's Senior Vice President. "The
acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Crown joint venture with
the perpetual license further removes uncertainty about
Constellation's role in the joint venture which was subject to
potential termination in 2016," she added. However, Moody's
expects that leverage will increase to the mid 5 times range on a
pro forma basis for the transactions which is high for the Ba1
rating level. Furthermore, as part of the Modelo transaction,
Constellation will build up the Mexican brewery's capacity
requiring approximately $500 million of investment over a 3 year
period, which will delay leverage improvement, as will the
potential payment of a true up adjustment after the first year of
ownership. Moody's negative outlook reflects the expected higher
leverage over the next 2 years. It also reflects concerns over the
broader scope and integration risk of the transaction, which makes
Constellation the owner of Mexican production assets and
introduces new geopolitical and other risks, as well as concerns
over the company's ability to integrate and operate full-fledged
brewery operations. Nevertheless, Constellation has a consistent
track record of reducing debt after acquisitions, and already
operates more than 30 production facilities in its wine segment,
which share some of the same procurement and efficiency challenges
that the company will face in Mexico. Permanent financing consists
of the new bond issuance, new bank term loan facilities, increased
revolver borrowings and securitization facility usage.

Constellation's Ba1 corporate family rating (CFR) reflects its
meaningful scale, which will double with the transaction, as well
as good product diversification, including an extensive portfolio
of brands covering the premium wine, spirits and imported beer
categories -- all sub segments that are strongly positioned for
growth within their respective segments. The rating also reflects
the franchise strength, efficiency, and solid profitability of the
company. The full ownership of Crown Imports will provide better
transparency in financial results since the business will be
consolidated rather than accounted for under the equity method as
the JV was previously. Moody's believes that comparable operating
margins will improve from already strong double digit levels.
Management's commitment to return leverage to the 3 to 4 times
range over time is a key assumption in maintaining the Ba1 rating.
The negative outlook reflects the increase in leverage, which is
expected to remain higher than the target range and high for the
rating category for two to three years post-closing, as well as
heightened integration risk.

A downgrade could occur if operating performance were to weaken,
integration of the Modelo business proves more difficult than
expected, or if the company failed to reduce leverage to below 5
times within twelve to 18 months following closing and to be
approaching 4 times within about 2 years. Failure to reduce
leverage, EBITA margin sustained below 15% or EBIT to Interest
materially below 2.5 times could also lead to a downgrade.

An upgrade is not likely in the near term. However, the outlook
could be stabilized once there is evidence of successful
integration of the brewing operations and that leverage is well on
the way to returning to the target 3 to 4 times range. An upgrade
is more remote, but could result over the long term if the company
sustains strong operating performance, shows continued improvement
in profitability and leverage, and if management shows a firm
commitment to a more conservative financial management strategy
than its current one, including setting financial targets that
permanently reduce leverage levels such that Debt to EBITDA is
maintained under 3.5 times and EBIT to Interest remains above 3.5
times, per Moody's definitions. Furthermore, there would need to
be a clearly articulated commitment by management to being
investment grade.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Alcoholic Beverage Rating Methodology published in September 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.

Headquartered in Victor, New York, Constellation Brands, Inc. is a
leading international wine company with a broad portfolio of
premium brands across the wine, spirits, and imported beer
categories. Major brands in the company's current portfolio
include, Robert Mondavi, Clos du Bois, Ravenswood, Blackstone,
Nobilo, Kim Crawford, Inniskillin, Jackson-Triggs, and SVEDKA
vodka. It imports Corona through Crown Imports, currently a 50%
joint venture with Modelo but soon to be fully owned. Reported net
revenue for fiscal 2013 ending February 28 was approximately $2.7
billion. Pro forma for the acquisitions, the company projects that
revenue will increase to $4.7 to $5.0 billion for fiscal year
2014.

to buy back loans.

According to the Bloomberg report, New York State Supreme Court
Justice Eileen Bransten in Manhattan rejected bond insurer MBIA's
argument that it had already shown Countrywide should have to buy
back loans that MBIA claims were riskier than represented. MBIA
guarantees payments to investors that bought securities backed by
pools of the lender's loans.

There are "sufficient facts in dispute" about the loans to
preclude ruling in MBIA's favor at this point in the litigation,
Bransten told Bloomberg.

MBIA fell 4 percent to $9.46 at the close of New York trading
after earlier dropping as much as 8.9 percent, the May 1 Bloomberg
report said.  Bank of America fell 0.6 percent to close at $12.31.

While the rejection was a "disappointment" for MBIA, the insurer
gained a "huge win" with Bransten's decision that New York law
instead of Delaware law governs its claim that Bank of America is
liable as Countrywide's parent company, Mark Palmer, an analyst at
BTIG LLC in New York, said in a research note, Bloomberg cited.

"Taken as a whole, we think Judge Bransten's rulings sent a very
strong message to BAC about how difficult it would be for it to
win at trial," wrote Palmer, who has a "buy" rating on MBIA,
Bloomberg further cited.

The case is MBIA Insurance Corp. v. Countrywide Home Loans Inc.,
602825-2008, New York State Supreme Court, New York County
(Manhattan).

Based in Calabasas, California, Countrywide Financial Corporation
(NYSE: CFC) -- http://www.countrywide.com/-- originated,
purchased, securitized, sold, and serviced residential and
commercial loans.

In mid-2008, Bank of America completed its purchase of Countrywide
for $2.5 billion.  The mortgage lender was originally priced at $4
billion, but the purchase price eventually was whittled down to
$2.5 billion based on BofA's stock prices that fell over 40% since
the time it agreed to buy the ailing lender.


CRYSTALLEX INT'L: Agrees to SEC Registration Revocation Order
-------------------------------------------------------------
Crystallex International Corporation on May disclosed that it had
reached a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission in which Crystallex will consent to an order revoking
its registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The settlement follows the commencement by the Division of
Enforcement of the SEC of administrative proceedings against
Crystallex seeking to revoke Crystallex's registration under the
Act as a result of failures by Crystallex to comply with certain
of its filing requirements under the Act.  Notwithstanding the
revocation of the registration, Crystallex will not be prevented
from reapplying for registration under the Act in the future.

                         About Crystallex

Crystallex International Corporation is a Canadian based mining
company, with a focus on acquiring, exploring, developing and
operating mining projects.  Crystallex has successfully operated
an open pit mine in Uruguay and developed and operated three gold
mines in Venezuela.  The Company's principal asset is its
international claim in relation to its investment in the Las
Cristinas gold project located in Bolivar State, Venezuela.

On Dec. 23, 2011, announced that it obtained an order from the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) for protection
under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (CCAA).
Ernst & Young Inc. was appointed monitor under the order.

Crystallex has also commenced a proceeding under Chapter 15 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware in order to ensure that relevant CCAA orders are enforced
in the United States.  The Bankruptcy Court has recognized
Crystallex's CCAA proceeding as well as the initial order and
subsequent stay extension of the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice.

Following the Government of Venezuela's unilateral cancellation of
the Las Cristinas Mine Operating Contract (the "MOC") on Feb. 3,
2011, the Company filed for arbitration before ICSID's Additional
Facility and commenced the process of handing the Las Cristinas
project back to the Government of Venezuela.  The handover to the
Government of Venezuela was completed on April 5, 2011, upon
receipt of a certificate of delivery from the Corporacion
Venezolana de Guayana (the "CVG").  As a result, the Company has
determined that its operations in Venezuela should be accounted
for as a discontinued operation.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2012, showed US$8.23
million in total assets, US$154.59 million in total liabilities
and a US$146.35 million total shareholders' deficiency.


DEAN FOODS: Fitch Raises Issuer Default Rating to 'BB-'
-------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has taken various rating actions on Dean Foods Co.
(Dean; NYSE: DF) and Dean Holding Co.

The following ratings have been upgraded:

Dean Foods Company (Parent)

-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BB-' from 'B+'.

Dean Holding Company (Operating Subsidiary)

-- IDR to 'BB-' from 'B+'.

The following ratings have been affirmed:

Dean Foods Company (Parent)

-- Secured bank credit facility at 'BB+';
-- 7.0% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2016 at 'BB-';
-- 9.75% senior unsecured notes due Dec. 15, 2018 at 'BB-'.

Dean Holding Company (Operating Subsidiary)

-- 6.9% senior unsecured notes due Oct. 15, 2017 at 'BB-'.

Fitch has simultaneously withdrawn its Recovery Ratings given
reduced probability of default at the 'BB-' IDR level.

Dean's ratings have been removed from Rating Watch Positive where
they were placed on Nov. 5, 2012. A Stable Rating Outlook has been
assigned.

At Dec. 31, 2012, Dean had $3.1 billion of total debt.
Approximately $2.3 billion was at the Dean Foods Co. and Dean
Holding Co. level while $781 million was at the firm's publicly
traded majority-owned subsidiary - The WhiteWave Food Co. (WWAV).

Key Rating Drivers:
The upgrade is due to Dean's considerably lower debt balance
following the divestiture of its Morningstar operations and the
subsequent application of proceeds to repay term loans.
Furthermore, Fitch believes that total debt-to-operating EBITDA,
post the spin-off of WWAV, can be maintained below 3.0x in most
years.

Ratings incorporate Dean's intention to spin off the majority of
its 86.7% economic interest in WWAV by late May and to retain up
to 19.9% or 34.4 million of WWAV shares. Dean plans to monetize or
distribute the remaining ownership to its shareholders in a tax-
free manner at a later date. Fitch is not anticipating further
debt reduction beyond amounts discussed below but believes the
maintenance of WWAV shares add to Dean's financial flexibility.

On Jan. 3, 2013, Dean completed the sale of Morningstar for $1.45
billion of pre-tax proceeds or an estimated $887 million of
proceeds net of taxes and expenses. The purchase price was
approximately 9.4x Morningstar's LTM EBITDA or about 8x EBITDA
after giving effect to the tax structure of the transaction. Due
to the staged timing of associated tax payments, the firm used the
majority of the pre-tax cash to fully retire all of its secured
term loans. Dean repaid $480 million of 2016 tranche B term loans,
$547 million of 2017 tranche B term loans, and $265 million of
revolver balances outstanding at Dec. 31, 2012.

Over the past year, Dean has used proceeds from the IPO of WWAV,
asset sales, and internally generated cash flow to repay more than
$2 billion of debt. Post the use of Morningstar divestiture
proceeds to pay off term loans, Dean's total debt approximates
$1.8 billion. Dean has $1 billion of long-term bonds and $781
million of debt related to WWAV's senior secured credit
facilities. Fitch projects that Dean will have about $1.3 billion
of total debt at Dec. 31, 2013, following the spin-off of its
majority ownership in WWAV and the payment of taxes associated
with the divestiture of Morningstar.

Fitch's ratings continue to incorporate Dean's mid-single-digit
EBITDA margin, volatile operating earnings and cash flow, and
limited diversification following the separation of its higher
margin and faster growing WWAV and Morningstar operations.
However, these negatives are balanced against the firm's lowered
debt levels, positive free cash flow (FCF) generation, and
historical success reducing costs.

Ratings also consider the fundamental challenges faced by the
fluid milk industry which continues to have excess capacity,
experience low-single-digit volume declines, and exhibit high
levels of competition. The dairy industry also remains highly
sensitive to volatile raw milk prices. The Class I mover, milk
used for fluid milk, price averaged $18.30 per hundredweight (cwt)
during the first quarter of 2013, approximately 6% higher than the
prior year's quarter, after increasing to near historical levels
of $21.39 per cwt for the month of December 2012. As of April
2013, the USDA expects the All Milk price index to increase an
average of 6.4% in 2013 to $19.70 per hundredweight in 2013.

Pro Forma Credit Statistics and Financial Strategy:
For the LTM period ended Dec. 31, 2012, Dean's consolidated funded
debt-to-EBITDA as defined by its credit facility was 3.54x, down
from 5.1x at Dec. 31, 2010. On a pro forma basis, excluding WWAV's
debt, the EBITDA of both WWAV and Morningstar and the related debt
reduction discussed above, leverage is 2.85x.

Fitch projects that total debt-to-operating EBITDA, inclusive of
five months of EBITDA from the consolidation of WWAV, could end
2013 at about 2.5x. For 2014, the first full year following the
spin-off of WWAV, Fitch is projecting total debt-to-operating
EBITDA of about 2.7x.

Dean expects to finalize details related to the firm's financial
strategy over the next several months but has indicated a desire
to achieve and maintain leverage below 2.5x and to focus on FCF
generation. The firm's 2013 guidance, excluding WWAV, includes
EBITDA of $430 million-$460 million, $110 million-$115 million of
interest expense, and about $150 million-$175 million of capital
expenditures.

Fitch believes Dean can generate an average of $100 million of FCF
annually post WWAV and Morningstar. However, reported FCF could be
negative in 2013 due mainly to one-time items and cash taxes
related to the divestiture of Morningstar.

Core Operations and Operating Strategy:
Post the divestiture of Morningstar and spin-off of WWAV, Dean's
core Fresh Dairy Direct (FDD) business will consist of about $9
billion of annual sales and, based on management's $430 million-
$460 million EBITDA guidance for 2013, will generate an EBITDA
margin in the 5% range. Incorporated in management's guidance is
the expectation that the financial impact of a low-single-digit
decline in volume at FDD, magnified by lost volume associated with
a bid for private-label milk business early in 2013, will be
offset by lower corporate expenses.

Dean continues to emphasize price realization and volume
performance relative to the industry. The firm is also
accelerating cost reduction efforts related to distribution and
manufacturing as well as general and administrative expenses,
announcing plans to eliminate an additional 10%-15% of its
production capacity.

After realizing $300 million from multi-year productivity
initiatives since 2009, Dean is targeting another $120 million
annual run rate of savings by the end of 2013. Fitch views the
rationalization of processing operations as necessary given excess
industry capacity and competition among processors but is
concerned about the timing given the historical pace of plant
closures.

Liquidity, Maturities, and Financial Covenants:
At Dec. 31, 2012, Dean had over $1.7 billion of liquidity
consisting of $79 million of cash, $734 million of availability on
its $1 billion secured revolver, $342 million of capacity on its
receivables-backed facility, and $569 million available under
WWAV's $850 million secured revolver. Dean's $1 billion revolver
expires April 2, 2014 and its $550 million on-balance sheet
account receivables-backed facility matures on March 8, 2015.
Fitch expects the firm to renegotiate its revolver in the near
term.

Scheduled maturities of long-term debt at Dec. 31, 2012 were $26
million in 2013, $291 million in 2014, and $32 million in 2015.
These maturities consist mainly of $265 million of outstanding
borrowings on the firm's secured revolver and required term loan
amortization payments. As previously mentioned, Dean repaid the
outstanding balance on its revolver and all term loans following
the divestiture of Morningstar in January resulting in no
significant maturities until 2016.

Financial maintenance covenants in Dean's credit facility
currently include maximum total and senior secured leverage
ratios. The calculations exclude up to $100 million of
unrestricted cash and adjust for charges and non-recurring items;
therefore, bank leverage ratios are modestly lower than those
calculated by Fitch.

The total leverage covenant is currently 5.5x, stepping down to
5.25x on March 31, 2013 and 4.5x on Sept. 30, 2013. The senior
secured leverage restriction of 3.75x steps down to 3.5x on March
31, 2013. Dean is also bound by a minimum interest coverage
requirement of 2.75x which steps up to 3.0x on March 31, 2013.
Dean reported total leverage and senior secured leverage, as
calculated by its credit agreement, of 3.54x and 1.96x,
respectively at Dec. 31, 2012, which indicates EBITDA cushion in
excess of 30%.

Rating Sensitivities:

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

-- Total debt-to-operating EBITDA consistently near 2.5x or
    less, due to EBITDA materially above $450 million or stable-
    to-declining debt levels;

-- Good cash flow from operations and FCF generation;

-- The successful elimination of additional fixed costs, the
    absence of significant volume declines, and the maintenance
    of market share would also be required for future rating
    upgrades.

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

-- Total debt-to-operating EBITDA sustained above 3.5x due to a
    material increase in debt or EBITDA meaningfully below
    $400 million for a prolonged period could trigger a downgrade
    in ratings;

-- Multiple years of negative FCF generation and an acceleration
    of volume declines could also result in negative rating
    actions.


DELUXE CORP: S&P Revises Outlook to Positive & Affirms 'BB-' CCR
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlook on
Minn.-based customized printed products provider Deluxe Corp. to
positive from stable.  Existing ratings on the company, including
the 'BB-' corporate credit rating, are affirmed.

The outlook revision reflects the potential for an upgrade if the
company's organic revenue continues to grow, its operating
performance remains stable, and its credit metrics do not
deteriorate with leverage below 2.5x.

The rating on Deluxe Corp. reflects the intermediate- and long-
term risks the company's business segments face.  In S&P's view,
Deluxe has a "weak" business risk profile, based on S&P's
criteria, principally because of the significant risk of continued
secular declines related to alternative forms of payments reducing
check volumes and the still keen competition in the check-printing
sector.  Revenue from check-printing accounted for 59% of its 2012
fiscal-year revenue.  S&P believes these trends will pressure
Deluxe's organic revenue growth and EBITDA margin over the next
couple of years.  However, S&P expects growth in its non-check
related marketing solutions within the small business services
segment will partially offset check units declines.  Relatively
low leverage, at 1.8x, underpins S&P's view of Deluxe's financial
risk profile as "intermediate," based on its criteria.

Deluxe is one of the largest U.S. providers of checks.  The
company has three segments: Direct Checks (DC), Small Business
Services (SBS), and Financial Services (FS).  S&P believes the
decline in check usage because of the continued adoption of
electronic payment methods will continue to hurt all three
segments.  S&P expects check volume declines to continue at a mid-
single-digit percent rate, in line with recent trends.  S&P also
expects the FS segment to continue to face pressure from
consolidation among financial institutions.

The positive rating outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Deluxe
will maintain its stable operating performance and its current
credit metrics, which provides it with sufficient flexibility
within its financial profile to accommodate potential weakness in
operating performance and some acquisitions.

S&P could raise the rating if Deluxe continues to diversify its
business away from check printing into profitable businesses with
solid growth prospects, while preserving its EBITDA margin and
credit metrics, with leverage below 2.5x, and S&P become convinced
that it will continue growing organic revenue.

S&P could revise the outlook back to stable if the company adopts
a more aggressive financial policy, experiences deterioration in
its operating performance, or makes a sizable debt-funded
acquisition that increases leverage over 2.5x.  Factors that could
contribute to such a scenario include a large, debt-financed
acquisition, client losses, lower check volume, or pressure on
small businesses.


DENALI FAMILY: Court Says Ombudsman Appointment Not Necessary
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Gary Spraker opined that the appointment of an
ombudsman for Denali Family Services is not necessary at this
time.

DFS provides services for troubled children, and qualifies as a
health care business under the Bankruptcy Code.  As a result,
11 U.S.C. Sec. 333(a)(1) requires that an ombudsman be appointed
to monitor patient care and represent their interests within the
bankruptcy unless the court finds that an ombudsman is not
necessary.

The case is In re DENALI FAMILY SERVICES, Chapter 11, Debtor, Case
No. A13-00114-GS (Bankr. D. Alaska).  DFS' bankruptcy was
precipitated by the discovery of substantial unpaid federal
employment taxes rather than patient care issues.

In declining to appoint an ombudsman, the Court said patient care
issues did not precipitate DFS' bankruptcy, nor is there any
indication that patient care will be jeopardized within the
chapter 11.  The nature of DFS' outpatient services and the
absence of overnight or extended stays minimizes the risk of harm
to patients, the Court further pointed out.

DFS has further minimized that risk by creating internal
procedures to identify and address problems with patient care,
Judge Spraker held.  It already employs a quality assurance person
that acts as an internal ombudsman.  Moreover, the judge said,
there is sufficient regulatory oversight to ensure that any
deterioration in patient care is promptly brought to the attention
of the debtor, the U.S. Trustee, and the Bankruptcy Court.
Appointment of an ombudsman under such circumstances would be
redundant, Judge Spraker said.

A copy of Judge Spraker's April 24, 2013 Memorandum is available
at http://is.gd/Q7GswSfrom Leagle.com.

Denali Family Services, based in Anchorage, Alaska, filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. D. Alaska Case No. 13-00114) on
March 3, 2013.  David H. Bundy, P.C., serves as the Debtor's
counsel.  In its petition, the Debtor estimated $1 million to $10
million in both assets and debts.  A list of the Company's 20
largest unsecured creditors, filed together with the petition, is
available for free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/akb13-00114.pdf

officer.


DENNY'S CORP: Reports $7.1 Million Net Income in First Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------------
Denny's Corporation reported net income for $7.08 million on
$114.49 million of total operating revenue for the quarter ended
March 27, 2013, as compared with net income of $5.86 million on
$126.73 million of total operating revenue for the quarter ended
March 28, 2012.

The Company's balance sheet at March 27, 2013, showed $311.29
million in total assets, $309.47 million in total liabilities and
$1.81 million in total shareholders' equity.

John Miller, president and chief executive officer, stated,
"Denny's delivered another quarter of solid results, as we
continued to successfully execute against our key objectives
implemented to strengthen and grow our position as one of the
largest franchised American full-service restaurant brands.  We
remain focused on revitalizing Denny's image with our 'America's
Diner' positioning, increasing the growth of the Denny's brand,
and growing profitability and free cash flow.  As we move forward,
we will continue to work closely with our franchisees to increase
restaurant level performance and new restaurant growth, while also
balancing our capital allocation between reinvestments in the
brand and returning value to shareholders."

                     About Denny's Corporation

Based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Denny's Corporation (NASDAQ:
DENN) -- http://www.dennys.com/-- Denny's is one of America's
largest full-service family restaurant chains, consisting of 1,348
franchised and licensed units and 232 company-owned units, with
operations in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Guam, Mexico,
New Zealand and Puerto Rico.

The Company said in its annual report for the year ended Dec. 28,
2011, that as the Company is heavily franchised, its financial
results are contingent upon the operational and financial success
of its franchisees.  The Company receives royalties, contributions
to advertising and, in some cases, lease payments from its
franchisees.  The Company has established operational standards,
guidelines and strategic plans for its franchisees; however, the
Company has limited control over how its franchisees' businesses
are run.  While the Company is responsible for ensuring the
success of its entire chain of restaurants and for taking a longer
term view with respect to system improvements, the Company's
franchisees have individual business strategies and objectives,
which might conflict with the Company's interests.  The Company's
franchisees may not be able to secure adequate financing to open
or continue operating their Denny's restaurants.  If they incur
too much debt or if economic or sales trends deteriorate such that
they are unable to repay existing debt, it could result in
financial distress or even bankruptcy.  If a significant number of
franchisees become financially distressed, it could harm the
Company's operating results through reduced royalties and lease
income.

DEWEY & LEBOEUF: Ex-Chairman Davis Settles, To Pay $511,000
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jennifer Smith, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reports that
former Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP Chairman Steven Davis has agreed to pay
back about $511,000 in past compensation as part of a proposed
settlement deal that would also allow creditors to tap into $19
million in insurance money.  Under the terms of the agreement,
which is subject to court approval, Mr. Davis would be able to
discharge his obligation entirely at the end of six years, even if
he hasn't paid off the balance.  That is because the promissory
note attached to the deal pegs Mr. Davis's contribution at 8% of
his annual compensation until either the note is fully paid or the
conclusion of the six years, whichever comes first. Interest would
accrue at 9% annually.

WSJ relates that Mr. Davis earned about $2 million a year at
Dewey, according to former partners. But if Mr. Davis doesn't find
steady or sufficiently lucrative employment going forward, he
could walk away in 2019 owing at least 1.5 times the original sum
he has pledged to pay back, according to WSJ's analysis of the
deal.

According to WSJ, for example, if after taxes Mr. Davis earned
$100,000 a year during the repayment period, he would contribute a
total of $48,000 to Dewey's liquidation trust over six years.  But
thanks to accrued interest, the balance would swell to more than
$785,000 by March 2019. Mr. Davis would have to earn at least $1.4
million a year to pay off the debt within six years.

Mr. Davis is represented by Kevin Van Wart of Kirkland & Ellis
LLP.  WSJ says Mr. Van Wart declined to comment on the terms of
the promissory note, saying "the matter is now before the court."

According to WSJ, legal and bankruptcy experts say Mr. Davis was
able to extract such favorable terms because without his
participation, the trustee winding down the New York firm's
affairs wouldn't have been able to access the $19 million from an
insurance policy Dewey held to defend against mismanagement
claims.  "They had to find a balance that met the needs of the
estate, the insurance company and Mr. Davis," said Wayne Weitz, a
restructuring adviser and managing director at Gavin/Solmonese LLC
in Wilmington, Del., who isn't involved in the matter.

The report relates that in court papers filed this week, Dewey's
liquidation trustee, Alan Jacobs of AMJ Advisors LLC, said the
promissory note was structured based on a review of the former
Dewey head's tax returns, bank statements and other financial
records.

                       About Dewey & LeBoeuf

Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.
Case No. 12-12321) to complete the wind-down of its operations.
The firm had struggled with high debt and partner defections.
Dewey disclosed debt of $245 million and assets of $193 million in
its chapter 11 filing late evening on May 29, 2012.

Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP operated as a prestigious, New York City-
based, law firm that traced its roots to the 2007 merger of Dewey
Ballantine LLP -- originally founded in 1909 as Root, Clark & Bird
-- and LeBoeuf, Lamb, Green & MacCrae LLP -- originally founded in
1929.  In recent years, more than 1,400 lawyers worked at the firm
in numerous domestic and foreign offices.

At its peak, Dewey employed about 2,000 people with 1,300 lawyers
in 25 offices across the globe.  When it filed for bankruptcy,
only 150 employees were left to complete the wind-down of the
business.

Dewey's offices in Hong Kong and Beijing are being wound down.
The partners of the separate partnership in England are in process
of winding down the business in London and Paris, and
administration proceedings in England were commenced May 28.  All
lawyers in the Madrid and Brussels offices have departed.  Nearly
all of the lawyers and staff of the Frankfurt office have
departed, and the remaining personnel are preparing for the
closure.  The firm's office in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is being
prepared for closure and the liquidation of the firm's local
affiliate.  The partners of the firm in the Johannesburg office,
South Africa, are planning to wind down the practice.

The firm's ownership interest in its practice in Warsaw, Poland,
was sold to the firm of Greenberg Traurig PA on May 11 for
$6 million.  The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. took $2 million of
the proceeds as part of a settlement.

Judge Martin Glenn oversees the case.  Albert Togut, Esq., at
Togut, Segal & Segal LLP, represents the Debtor.  Epiq Bankruptcy
Solutions LLC serves as claims and notice agent.  The petition was
signed by Jonathan A. Mitchell, chief restructuring officer.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Revolver Agent on behalf of the
lenders under the Revolver Agreement, hired Kramer Levin Naftalis
& Frankel LLP.  JPMorgan, as Collateral Agent for the Revolver
Lenders and the Noteholders, hired FTI Consulting and Gulf
Atlantic Capital, as financial advisors.  The Noteholders hired
Bingham McCutchen LLP as counsel.

The U.S. Trustee formed two committees -- one to represent
unsecured creditors and the second to represent former Dewey
partners.  The creditors committee hired Brown Rudnick LLP led by
Edward S. Weisfelner, Esq., as counsel.  The Former Partners hired
Tracy L. Klestadt, Esq., and Sean C. Southard, Esq., at Klestadt &
Winters, LLP, as counsel.

Dewey filed a Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and an accompanying
Disclosure Statement on Nov. 21, 2012.  It filed amended plan
documents on Dec. 31, in an attempt to address objections lodged
by various parties.  A second iteration was filed Jan. 7, 2013.
The plan is based on a proposed settlement between secured lenders
and Dewey's official unsecured creditors' committee, as well as a
settlement with former partners.

On Feb. 27, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Dewey & Leboeuf's
Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation dated Jan. 7, 2013,
As of the Effective Date of the Plan, the Debtor will be
dissolved.

Alan Jacobs of AMJ Advisors LLC, has been named Dewey's
liquidation trustee.

DYNEGY INC: Completes Sale of Roseton Power Plant to CCI
--------------------------------------------------------
Dynegy Inc. on May 1 disclosed that it has completed the sale of
its Roseton power generation facility to a subsidiary of Castleton
Commodities International LLC (CCI).  A U.S. Bankruptcy Court-
supervised auction sales process for the Roseton power generation
facility located near Newburgh, New York was conducted in late
2012.  Roseton was sold to CCI for $19.5 million in cash, subject
to certain adjustments specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement,
and CCI's assumption of certain liabilities, including tax
liabilities.  The sales proceeds will be distributed in accordance
with the terms of the relevant agreements, including the plan of
liquidation approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

CCI and Dynegy received the necessary regulatory approvals for the
sale from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the New
York Public Service Commission.  These approvals were a condition
for closing the sales.

Dynegy was advised on the transaction by Sidley Austin LLP and
Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P.

                         About Dynegy

Through its subsidiaries, Houston, Texas-based Dynegy Inc.
(NYSE: DYN) -- http://www.dynegy.com/-- produces and sells
electric energy, capacity and ancillary services in key U.S.
markets.  The power generation portfolio consists of approximately
12,200 megawatts of baseload, intermediate and peaking power
plants fueled by a mix of natural gas, coal and fuel oil.

Dynegy Holdings LLC and four other affiliates of Dynegy Inc.
sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case
No. 11-38111) on Nov. 7, 2011, to implement an agreement with a
group of investors holding more than $1.4 billion of senior notes
issued by Dynegy's direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Dynegy
Holdings, regarding a framework for the consensual restructuring
of more than $4.0 billion of obligations owed by DH.  If this
restructuring support agreement is successfully implemented, it
will significantly reduce the amount of debt on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet.  Dynegy Holdings disclosed assets of
$13.77 billion and debt of $6.18 billion.

Dynegy Inc. on July 6, 2012, filed a voluntary petition to
reorganize under Chapter 11 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 12-36728) to
effectuate a merger with Dynegy Holdings, pursuant to Holdings'
Chapter 11 plan.

Dynegy Holdings and its affiliated debtor-entities are represented
in the Chapter 11 proceedings by Sidley Austin LLP as their
reorganization counsel.  Dynegy and its other subsidiaries are
represented by White & Case LLP, who is also special counsel to
the Debtor Entities with respect to the Roseton and Danskammer
lease rejection issues.  The financial advisor is FTI Consulting.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Holdings' cases
has tapped Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP as counsel.

Dynegy Holdings and its parent, Dynegy Inc., completed their
Chapter 11 reorganization and emerged from bankruptcy Oct. 1,
2012.  Under the terms of the DH/Dynegy Plan, DH merged with and
into Dynegy, with Dynegy, Inc., remaining as the surviving entity.

Dynegy Northeast Generation, Inc., Hudson Power, L.L.C., Dynegy
Danskammer, L.L.C. and Dynegy Roseton, L.L.C., won confirmation of
their plan of liquidation in March 2013, allowing the former
operating units of Dynegy to consummate a settlement agreement
resolving some lease trustee claims and sell their facilities.


EASTMAN KODAK: Files Reorganization Plan, Sees Q3 Exit
------------------------------------------------------
Eastman Kodak Co. filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan its
Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which sets out how much
creditors will recover on their claims.

Under the plan filed April 30, general unsecured debt holders, who
are owed as much as $2.7 billion, will get shares in the
reorganized Kodak.  Priority claim holders, secured claim holders
and second-lien holders, which, together, hold $424 million of
claims, will get all their money back.

A new board will be appointed and will consist of seven members,
five of whom will be selected by second lien holders.  Kodak said
the new directors will be identified later.

"We now have a clear path forward for Kodak," Antonio Perez,
chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement posted
in the company's website.  "We are positioning the company for a
profitable and sustainable future."

The bankruptcy court must approve the outline of the plan or the
so-called disclosure statement before Kodak can solicit votes from
creditors.  A majority must vote to accept the plan before the
court can hold a hearing to consider confirmation of the plan.

A hearing on the disclosure statement is expected in June.  Kodak
expects to emerge from bankruptcy protection in the third quarter.

Full-text copies of the plan and disclosure statement are
available without charge at:

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

Kodak's reorganization plan comes a day after it reached an
agreement with its UK pension fund, the company's largest
creditor.  Under the deal, Kodak agreed to spin off its
personalized imaging and document imaging businesses for $650
million to settle the pension fund's $2.8 billion of claims.

Earlier, Kodak withdrew its previously filed motion for the
standalone sale of the document imaging business.  The request
drew flak from Ricoh Company Ltd. and several other companies,
most of which have license agreements with Kodak.  They complained
about the non-disclosure of key terms that would help them assess
the impact of the sale on their rights and defenses.

Subsidiaries outside of the U.S. were not included in the filing
and are expected to continue to operate as usual.

Kodak, founded in 1880 by George Eastman, was once the world's
leading producer of film and cameras.  Kodak sought bankruptcy
protection amid near-term liquidity issues brought about by
steeper-than-expected declines in Kodak's historically profitable

of intellectual property being delayed due to litigation tactics
employed by a small number of infringing technology companies with
strong balance sheets and an awareness of Kodak's liquidity
challenges.

In recent years, Kodak has been working to transform itself from a
business primarily based on film and consumer photography to a
smaller business with a digital growth strategy focused on the
commercialization of proprietary digital imaging and printing
technologies.  Kodak has 8,900 patent and trademark registrations
and applications in the United States, as well as 13,100 foreign
patents and trademark registrations or pending registration in
roughly 160 countries.

ELWOOD ENERGY: Moody's Reviews 'Ba2' Bond Rating for Downgrade
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Elwood Energy LLC's Ba2 senior
secured bond rating under review for possible downgrade.

Rating Rationale:

The review for possible downgrade considers the expected sale (the
"Transaction") by Dominion Resources (Dominion, Baa2-stable) of
its 50% interest in Elwood to EquiPower Resources (EquiPower, Ba3
(1st lien, under review for possible downgrade). Moody's
previously viewed Dominion's substantial ownership in Elwood to be
materially credit supportive especially given the affiliate
relationships and Dominion's strong investment grade profile. As
part of its ownership of Elwood, Dominion backed half of Elwood's
6-month debt service reserve, provided a $10 million working
capital facility, and provided operations and maintenance
services. Once the Transaction closes, Moody's understands
EquiPower will step into the Dominion's roles and EquiPower will
support its obligations with letters of credit issued by its
expected upsized revolver. The Transaction is expected to close
before the end of the second quarter of 2013. J-POWER USA
Generation, L.P which owns the other 50% of Elwood is expected to
maintain its ownership in Elwood.

Importantly, if the 50% ownership sale of Elwood by Dominion is
completed as expected, Moody's anticipates Elwood's senior secured
rating to be downgraded one notch to Ba3 from Ba2.

Moody's also recognizes the revision to Elwood's major maintenance
deposit schedule in late 2012 to a start-based scheme, which in
and of itself would not have resulted in a rating action. In
Moody's view, however, the revised schedule does create greater
uncertainty regarding the availability of major maintenance funds
starting around 2020 especially since Elwood's cash flow starting
in 2017 is mostly uncertain at this time. Elwood's existing
contracts mature around the 2016/2017 timeframe for four units
while its remaining 5 units benefit from PJM RTO capacity prices
that is known through April 2016. Moody's understands the project
is considering changes to its long term major maintenance
contracts, which could materially reduce long term costs.

After the sale is completed, Moody's expects the likely Ba3 rating
for Elwood to reflect Elwood's weak competitiveness given its high
heat rate and its reliance on PJM RTO capacity payments for nearly
all of its cash flow. PJM's RTO capacity payments have been highly
volatile ranging from a low of $17/MW-day to a high of $174/MW-
day.

That said, Elwood's credit quality remains supported by strong
historical operational performance, Elwood's contracts on four
units through August 2016/2017, and known capacity prices through
May 2016 that should enable the Project to achieve an average of
2.2 times debt service coverage through 2016. Additionally,
project finance protections including a forward looking cash
trapping mechanism are supportive of credit quality.

While Elwood's ratings are likely to decline by one notch if the
Transaction is completed, the Project's rating is likely to be
confirmed in the unlikely event that the sale does not proceed and
Dominion maintains its ownership stake and affiliate relationship
with Elwood.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Power Generation
Projects published in December 2012.

The last rating action on Elwood occurred on May 1, 2012 when
Moody's downgraded Elwood's rating to Ba2 from Ba1 and changed the
outlook to stable from negative.

Elwood Energy LLC owns a 1,469 megawatt (MW) peaking facility
consisting of nine 156.5 MW natural gas-fired, simple cycle units,
located in Elwood, Illinois (about 50 miles southwest of Chicago).
Elwood sells its energy and capacity under a power sales agreement
(PSA) with Exelon Generation (ExGen: Baa2, stable) that expires in
2016 and 2017.

Elwood is 50% owned by a subsidiary of Dominion and 50% indirectly
owned by J-POWER USA Generation, L.P. (J-Power Gen), which is a
50/50 joint venture between John Hancock Life Insurance Company
and J-POWER USA Investment Co., Ltd.

rights but will be unable to deliver the subscription rights
certificate prior to the expiration date can deliver a Notice of

"Our senior secured credit facility contains financial covenants
requiring us to maintain specified maximum leverage and minimum
cash interest coverage ratios.  The results of our future
operations may not allow us to meet these covenants, or may
require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a
manner contrary to our business objectives.

"Our failure to comply with obligations under our senior secured
credit facility, including satisfaction of the financial ratios,
would result in an event of default under the facilities.  A
default, if not cured or waived, would prohibit us from obtaining
further loans under our senior secured credit facility and permit
the lenders thereunder to accelerate payment of their loans and
not renew the letters of credit which support our bonding
obligations.  If we are not current in our bonding obligations, we
may be in breach of our contracts with our customers, which
generally require bonding.  In addition, we would be unable to bid
or be awarded new contracts that required bonding.  If our debt is
accelerated, we currently would not have funds available to pay
the accelerated debt and may not have the ability to refinance the
accelerated debt on terms favorable to us or at all particularly
in light of the tightening of lending standards as a result of the
ongoing financial crisis.  If we could not repay or refinance the
accelerated debt, we would be insolvent and could seek to file for
bankruptcy protection.  Any such default, acceleration or
insolvency would likely have a material adverse effect on the
market value of our common stock," the Company said in its annual

EQUIPOWER RESOURCES: Moody's Reviews Ba3-Rated Debt for Downgrade
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed EquiPower Resources Holdings's
1st lien debt facilities consisting of a $685 million term loan
and $100 million working capital facility under review for
possible downgrade.

Rating Rationale:

The review for downgrade considers the expected amendment of the
existing financing documents to effectuate the acquisition and
incremental financing (the "Transaction") of the 1,100 MW Kincaid
Generation coal fired plant and the 50% interest in the 1,487 MW
Elwood Energy gas fired peaking plant. Moody's understands that to
consummate the Transaction $610 million of incremental 1st lien
debt, approximately $150 million of equity, and existing cash will
be used to repay the existing $200 million 2nd lien term loan,
fund the acquisition, pay down drawn amounts under the revolving
credit facility, fund a $45 million synthetic letter of credit
facility, and pay transaction costs. As part of the anticipated
financing, the current 1st lien lenders will lose the benefit of
the subordination of the 2nd lien lenders.

Should the Transaction be completed, Moody's anticipates
downgrading EquiPower's 1st lien debt facilities by one notch to
B1 from Ba3. At that time, Moody's would withdraw the B2 rating on
the 2nd lien term loan upon the debt being repaid, it anticipates
the proposed amendment and incremental financing being completed
in the second quarter of 2013.

The rating action further considers the expected loosening of
covenants and other structural changes including a decrease in the
debt service reserve requirement to 6 months from 12 months,
broader allowance for asset sales (except Liberty) subject to
minimum debt repayment thresholds, the application of the
financial covenants only to the 1st lien working capital lenders,
and increasing of additional indebtedness allowances.

After the Transaction is completed, Moody's expects the likely B1
rating for EquiPower's 1st Lien debt facilities to reflect the
moderately increased total leverage at around 64% debt to capital,
sizeable merchant energy and capacity exposure, and low financial
metrics in the low end of the 'B' category under Moody's
conservative scenarios. Heightened environmental risks at Kincaid,
refinancing risk, the possibility of an extension of the
Connecticut generator tax, and weakening of the covenants as
previously described also weigh on the likely rating outcome.

That said, Moody's expects EquiPower post acquisition will benefit
from portfolio diversification of seven assets across four states
with transparent capacity and energy markets, approximately 50% of
gross margins hedged under management's base case through either
energy hedges or known capacity prices, and some project finance
features including the inability to sell Liberty and a 100% excess
cash sweep. Moody's considers EquiPower's diversification across
multi regions to be a key strength that helps blunt the impact of
uncertain events such as the possible extension of the Connecticut
generator tax. Additional credit strengths include enhanced
liquidity via the approximately $110 million of expected
availability under the project's expected $146 million revolving
credit facility, the attractive competitive position for four of
the main cash flow generating plants, and EquiPower's resiliency
to Moody's conservative cases albeit with low metrics.

In the event that the Transaction does not occur and EquiPower
does not acquire the Kincaid and Elwood assets, the ratings at
EquiPower could be confirmed at their current level, particularly
if the Connecticut generator tax is not extended.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Power Generation
Projects published in December 2012.

On May 23, 2012, Moody's assigned a Ba3 and B2 ratings to
Equipower's proposed $975 million in first and second lien credit
facilities. The $775 million in senior secured 1st lien credit
facilities are expected to consist of a $685 million 6.5-year term
loan and a $90 million 5-year senior secured working capital
facility. The 7-year second lien term loan totals $200 million.
The rating outlook is stable on the proposed debt financing.

EquiPower own five gas fired power projects totaling 2,360 MW and
expects to acquire the 1,100 MW Kincaid coal plant and a 50%
equity interest in the 1,487 MW Elwood gas peaker. EquiPower's
existing assets consists of the 812 MW Lake Road and 548 MW
Milford projects in Connecticut, the 568 MW Liberty plant in
Pennsylvania, and the 264 MW MassPower and 168 MW Dighton projects
in Massachusetts. All of the projects except Kincaid reached
commercial operation from 1993 to 2004. EquiPower is owned by
EquiPower Resources Corp. EquiPower Resources Corp is owned by a
private equity fund managed by Energy Capital Partners and several
of the funds co-investors. Energy Capital Partners manages private
equity funds that invest in the power generation, midstream gas,
renewable energy, and electric transmission sectors of North
America's energy infrastructure.


ESTERLINE TECHNOLOGIES: 787 Flight Resumptions is Credit Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service reports that the resumption of certain
Boeing 787 commercial flights and the recent FAA approval of
battery system improvements is a credit positive for Esterline
Technologies Corporation, one of several suppliers for the 787
aircraft.

Family Rating and stable outlook. The company's good liquidity
profile is reflected in its Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of
SGL-2.

GREDE HOLDINGS: S&P Retains 'BB' Rating After Loan Upsize
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that its senior secured
'BB' issue-level and '1' recovery ratings on Southfield, Mich.-
based casting supplier Grede Holdings LLC remain unchanged
following the company's announcement of its plan to upsize its
senior secured debt by $30 million.  The '1' recovery rating on
the term loan indicates S&P's expectation that lenders would
receive very high (90% to 100%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.

The 'B+' corporate credit rating and stable outlook are
unaffected.  The company will use the additional proceeds mostly
to pay down a portion of its asset-based revolving credit facility
(unrated).  Pro forma for the transaction, S&P estimates debt to
EBITDA, including its adjustments, to remain at about 2.5x, with
some cushion in Grede's credit measures (for the current rating)
to withstand future operating shortfalls.  For the rating, S&P
expects this adjusted ratio to be at about 4x or less.

S&P expects a $24 million annual debt amortization requirement in
addition to an excess cash flow sweep requirement to result in
moderate improvement of credit metrics over the next two years.
In addition to the upsize, an amendment would extend the maturity
on the existing term loan to May 2018 at a reduced interest rate--
improving its liquidity and further supporting S&P's view of
Grede's cash flow prospects.  S&P expects that the ratio of free
cash flow to debt will remain in the low-teens on steady earnings
expansion and low capital expenditure requirements of about 3%-4%
of sales, mostly for maintenance and improvement of existing
facilities.

HOMEBANC MORTGAGE: Bear Stearns Settles Adversary Suit for $3MM
---------------------------------------------------------------
Stewart Bishop of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that the Chapter 7
trustee for HomeBanc Mortgage Corp. on Monday asked a Delaware
bankruptcy judge to approve a $3.25 million settlement of a $100
million adversary proceeding it asserted against Bear Stearns &
Co. Inc. over securities repurchase agreements between Bear
Stearns and HomeBanc.

According to the report, the trustee, George L. Miller, said
following a split January ruling on cross-motions for summary
judgment, the parties reached a settlement agreement on the
HomeBanc's remaining cross-claims, Bear Stearn's cross claim and
set-off claims, with Miller retaining his right to appeal the
decision.

                           About HomeBanc

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation
-- http://www.homebanc.com/-- was a mortgage banking company
focused  on originating primarily prime purchase money residential

HomeBanc Mortgage together with five affiliates filed for chapter
11 protection on Aug. 9, 2007 (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 07-11079
through 07-11084).  Joel A. Waite, Esq., at Young, Conaway,
Stargatt & Taylor was selected by the Debtors to represent them in
these cases.  The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
selected the firm Otterbourg, Steindler, Houston and Rosen, P.C.
as its counsel.  The Debtors' financial condition as of June 30,
2007, showed total assets of $5.1 billion and total liabilities of

accompanying disclosure statement, dated April 30, 2008, but

moved for conversion of its cases to Chapter 7, which was granted
by the Court, effective Feb. 24, 2009.


ICTS INTERNATIONAL: Delays 2012 Annual Report for Audit
-------------------------------------------------------
ICTS International notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission that it will be delayed in the filing of its annual
report on Form 20-F for the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.  The
Company and the auditor are in the final stages of review which is
expected to be completed shortly.

ICTS International N.V. is a public limited liability company
organized under the laws of The Netherlands in 1992.

ICTS specializes in the provision of aviation security and other
aviation services.  Following the taking of its aviation security
business in the United States by the TSA in 2002, ICTS, through
its subsidiary Huntleigh U.S.A. Corporation, engages primarily in
non-security related activities in the USA.

ICTS, through I-SEC International Security B.V., supplies aviation
security services at airports in Europe and the Far East.

In addition, I-SEC Technologies B.V. including its subsidiaries
develops technological systems and solutions for aviation and non?
aviation security.

Mayer Hoffman McCann CPAs, in New York, N.Y., expressed
substantial doubt about ICTS International's ability to continue
as a going concern following the 2011 financial results.  The
independent auditors noted that the Company has a history of
recurring losses from continuing operations, negative cash flows
from operations, working capital deficit, and is in default on its
line of credit arrangement in the United States as a result of the
violation of certain financial and non-financial covenants.

The Company reported a net loss of US$2.15 million on
US$105.93 million of revenue for 2011, compared with a net loss of
US$8.12 million on US$98.43 million of revenue for 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2012, showed US$21.80
million in total assets, US$53.63 million in total liabilities and
a US$31.82 million total shareholders' deficit.


INFOGROUP INC: S&P Cuts CCR to B- & Removes CreditWatch on Ratings
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Omaha, Neb.-based infoGROUP Inc. to 'B-' from 'B' and
removed all ratings from CreditWatch, where they were placed with
negative implications on Jan. 25, 2013.  The rating outlook is
negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered all issue-level ratings on the
company's debt by one notch, in conjunction with the downgrade.
The recovery ratings on these debt issues remain unchanged.

The downgrade reflects the company's weak near-term operating
outlook, increasing debt leverage, and only near-term covenant
relief provided by the April 2013 amendment to its credit
facility.

"The corporate credit rating on infoGROUP Inc. reflects our
expectation that leverage will remain high over the intermediate
term and the risk that the margin of compliance with financial
covenants will narrow.  We consider infoGROUP's business risk
profile "weak" under our criteria because of competitive
conditions in the markets in which it operates, and exposure to
highly cyclical direct marketing spending.  The higher-margin data
base licensing business, which is not subject to the same trends,
accounts for roughly one-third of profitability.  Moreover, we
expect infoGROUP to continue to underperform some of its larger
U.S. peers.  Relatively high financial risk resulting from the
2010 leveraged buyout, the 2011 special dividend, and weak
operating performance underpin our view that infoGROUP's financial
risk profile is "highly leveraged."  The negative outlook reflects
our expectation of increasing covenant headroom pressure.  We
assess the company's management and governance as "fair", S&P said

infoGROUP provides business and consumer information, database
marketing services, data processing services, data base licensing,
and sales and marketing solutions to a diverse customer base of
business subscribers.  S&P considers these businesses mature,
cyclical, and highly competitive.  Although nearly 60% of its
business comes from clients in growing digital direct marketing
channels, the traditional direct-mail business faces a long-term
gradual secular decline, in S&P's opinion.  Some of infoGROUP's
competitors are larger and have better name recognition and
greater financial resources, which may put the company at a
competitive disadvantage.  Also, infoGROUP may face increased
competition from new entrants, especially online start-ups with
low initial capital requirements.  The company has increased
product development and marketing efforts and has put in place a
new management team over the past eighteen months.  It is unclear
how soon the company will realize meaningful benefits from these
measures.


INNOVATIVE COMMS: Clawback Suits Against Craig, Weisman Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Mary F. Walrath dismissed clawback lawsuits filed
by Stan Springel, the chapter 11 trustee of the bankruptcy estate
of Innovative Communication Corporation ("New ICC"), against:

     -- Peter Weisman and Peter Weisman & Associates; and
     -- Robert F. Craig P.C.

The Court, however, granted the chapter 11 trustee 30 days from
the date of the order to amend the Complaints.

The Defendants filed separate motions asking the Court to dismiss
the complaints.

Mr. Springel commenced the lawsuits on Sept. 19, 2009, seeking to
recover certain pre-petition transfers as fraudulent pursuant to
section 548(a)(1)(A) ("Count I"), section 548(a)(1)(B) ("Count
II"), section 544 and New York law ("Count III"), section 544 and
Florida law ("Count IV"), and section 544 and United States Virgin
Islands law ("Count V"). In the alternative, the Trustee seeks to
recover the Transfers as preferential under section 547 ("Count
VI").

The Complaint against Robert F. Craig PC seeks to recover five
transfers from the Defendant in the aggregate amount of $209,087.

Weisman et al. asserts that the Trustee is seeking the recovery of
payments in the sum of approximately $100,000 made by New ICC to
the Defendant between December 1, 2002, and March 3, 2003.

The case is STAN SPRINGEL, TRUSTEE Plaintiff, v. PETER WEISMAN AND
PETER WEISMAN & ASSOCIATES, Defendant. Adv. P. No. 09-3089 (D.
Virgin Islands).  A copy of the Court's April 26, 2013 Memorandum

Florida; the Shoys Estate, St. Croix, Plots 4, 4A, 5, 10A, and
10AA, Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; 89 Victor
Herbert Road, Lake Placid, New York; Park Avenue Liquor Shop, 292
Madison Avenue, New York; Zachy's Wine and Liquor, Inc.; and a
storage facility called The Store Room.

Mr. Prosser filed for personal chapter 11 protection (D. V.I. Case
No. 06-10006) on July 31, 2006.  According to The (Virgin Islands)
Source, he was fired in October 2007 for failing to make payments
into the company pension funds.  The case was later converted to
Chapter 7 liquidation.  James P. Carroll was named Chapter 7
Trustee.

Greenlight Capital Qualified, L.P., Greenlight Capital, L.P., and
Greenlight Capital Offshore, Ltd. -- which held an $18,780,614
claim against Mr. Prosser -- had filed the involuntary chapter 11
against Innovative Communication, Emerging Communications, and Mr.
Prosser on Feb. 10, 2006 (Bankr. D. Del. Case Nos. 06-10133,
06-10134, and 06-10135).  Mr. Prosser argued that the Greenlight
entities, the former shareholders of Innovative Communications,
and Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative, Mr. Prosser's lender,
conspired to take down his companies into bankruptcy and collect
millions in claims.

On July 5, 2007, an involuntary chapter 11 case was filed against
New ICC. Thereafter, New ICC filed a voluntary petition for relief
under chapter 11.  New ICC is a holding company which has various
operating subsidiaries that provide telephone, newspaper, and
other services to the citizens of the United States Virgin
Islands, British Virgin Islands, surrounding Caribbean locations
and portions of France.  Mr. Springel was later appointed the
Trustee of New ICC.

J.C. PENNEY: Issuing More Debt to Cover Cash Erosion
----------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that J.C. Penney Co. is projected by Fitch Ratings to
consume $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion in cash this year, perhaps
explaining why the 1,100-store retailer announced this week it is
arranging a new $1.75 billion secured term loan.

The new loan will be secured by first liens on real estate, ground
leases, intellectual property, equipment, and stock of
subsidiaries, and by second liens on inventory and accounts
receivable.  The new loan sops up available collateral, leaving
Penney unable to issue new first- or second-lien debt, Fitch said.
The new financing is provided by Goldman Sachs Bank USA.

Fitch projects that free cash flow will be "materially negative in
2014."  Together with the $1.85 billion revolving credit facility,
Penney's liquidity nonetheless should be "adequate" through 2014,
Fitch said.

"Near term liquidity remains adequate," Moody's Investors Service
said.

The new term loan will be used partly to pay off the 7.125 percent
debentures due in 2023, of which $254.5 million are outstanding,
according to data compiled by Bloomberg.  The new term loan
reduces Penney's reliance on the revolving credit, Moody's said,
although it doesn't solve "longer term performance concerns nor
reduce the level of anticipated cash burn."  Moody's said the new
loan "greatly weakens" Penney's "capital structure" while earnings
are "precarious."

Paying off the 2023 debentures removes restrictions on drawing
down the remainder of the $1.85 million facility.  On April 15,
Penney announced it was drawing down $850 million.  Moody's
reacted to news about the new loan by issuing a downgrade lowering
the corporate rating to Caa1, matching the action taken at the end
of February by Standard & Poor's.  Moody's noted that the nearest
debt maturity for Plano, Texas-based Penny is 2015, when $200
million comes due.

Moody's lowered the senior unsecured note rating by one grade to
Caa2 because bondholders' positions have been weakened by issuance
of additional secured debt.

In early March, Penney reported a $985 million net loss for last
year.  For the year, comparable-store sales were down 25 percent.
In the last quarter, the decline was about 30 percent.  The net
loss in the quarter was $552 million on sales of $3.88 billion,
the company reported.  For the year, sales were $13 billion.

S&P calculated that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
and amortization declined about 30 percent.

The stock closed on April 30 at $16.42, down 4.5 percent in New
York Stock Exchange trading.  In the past three years, the closing
low was $13.93 on April 9. In the same period, the high was $43.13
on Feb. 9, 2012.

                         About J.C. Penney

Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney Company, Inc. is one of the U.S.'s
largest department store operators with about 1,100 locations in
the United States and Puerto Rico.

J.C. Penney disclosed a net loss of $985 million in 2012, as
compared with a net loss of $152 million in 2011.  The Company's
balance sheet at Feb. 2, 2013, showed $9.78 billion in total
assets, $6.61 billion in total liabilities and $3.17 billion in
total stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

The Company carries Moody's Investors Service's B3 Corporate
Family Rating with negative outlook.

Early in March 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered
its corporate credit rating on Penney to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The
outlook is negative.  At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-
level rating on the company's unsecured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B-'
and maintained its '3' recovery rating on this debt, indicating
S&P's expectation of meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery for
debtholders in the event of a payment default.

"The downgrade reflects the performance erosion that has
accelerated throughout the previous year and seems likely to
persist over the next 12 months," explained Standard & Poor's
credit analyst David Kuntz.

At the same time, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Company's Issuer
Default Ratings to 'B-' from 'B'.  The Rating Outlook is Negative.
The rating downgrades reflect Fitch's concerns that there is a
lack of visibility in terms of the Company's ability to stabilize
its business in 2013 and beyond after a precipitous decline in
revenues leading to negative EBITDA of $270 million in 2012.
Penney, Fitch said, will need to tap into additional funding to
cover a projected FCF shortfall of $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion in
2013, which could begin to strain its existing sources of
liquidity.

In February 2013, Penney received a notice of default from a law
firm representing more than 50% of its 7.4% Debentures due 2037.
The Company has filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court seeking
to block efforts by the bondholder group to declare a default on
the 2037 bonds.  Penney also asked lawyers at Brown Rudnick LLP to
identify the investors they represent.

In March 2013, Penney received a letter from bondholders
withdrawing and rescinding the Notice of Default.

On April 12, 2013, Penney borrowed $850 million out of its $1.85
billion committed revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as LC Agent. Penney said the move was to
enhance the Company's financial flexibility and position.


J.C. PENNEY: Fitch Gives 'BB-' Rating to New $1.75-Bil. Term Loan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB-/RR1' rating to J.C. Penney's new
five-year $1.75 billion senior secured term loan facility. The
closing of the new facility is contingent upon the successful
tendering or defeasance (of at least two-thirds of the amount
outstanding) of the $225 million in debentures due 2023. In
addition, Fitch has affirmed its Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) on
J.C. Penney Co., Inc. and J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. at 'B-'.
The Rating Outlook is Negative. A full list of rating actions
follows at the end of this press release.

Key Rating Drivers

The new $1.75 billion term loan facility will be secured by (a)
first lien mortgages on owned and ground-leased stores (subject to
certain restrictions primarily related to Principal Property owned
by J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc.) with an aggregate value of not
less than $400 million, the company's headquarters and related
land, and nine owned distribution centers; (b) a first lien on
intellectual property, machinery, and equipment; (c) a stock
pledge of J.C. Penney Corporation and all of its material
subsidiaries and all intercompany debt, and (d) second lien on
inventory and accounts receivable that back the $1.85 billion
asset-backed (ABL) facility.

The proceeds of the term loan will be used to fund operations,
working capital, and capital expenditures and to amend, acquire or
satisfy and discharge the company's $255 million outstanding 7
1/8% debentures due 2023 to get rid of all restrictive covenants.
The terms of these debentures required the company to maintain a
ratio of net tangible assets to senior funded indebtedness of 2.0x
and above (under which it could have only incurred $1.4 billion in
debt at the end of 2012), which would have proven to be too
restrictive. Defeasance or tendering of the debentures also
removes any restrictions on its ability to draw on its $1.85
billion credit facility as a long-term debt source.

The financing maxes out the incremental amount of first- and
second-lien debt JCP can incur, although it could issue unsecured,
subordinated debt, convertible notes or preferred equity.

Fitch views the injection of additional capital as a positive to
fund operations in 2013 given a projected cash burn of $1.7
billion-$1.9 billion. Fitch currently assumes EBITDA of negative
$500 million on top-line contraction in the high single digits,
$800 million in capital expenditures (substantially similar to
2012 levels) and potential working capital use of $200 million to
$300 million. In addition, the company has to fund the defeasance
or tendering of the 2023 debentures.

Beyond 2013, Fitch estimates that the company will have to
generate a minimum of $750 million to $900 million in EBITDA to
fund ongoing capital expenditures in the $400 million-$500 million
range and cash interest expense of $360 million-$375 million. This
would require the company to return sales to about $14 billion, or
8% above 2012 levels, and realize gross margins in the 39%-40%
range given the current cost structure, and some expected
incremental investments in areas such as advertising and marketing
to prop up sales via a return to a high-low pricing strategy.

This appears to be an ambitious level and therefore, free cash
flow is still expected to be materially negative in 2014. However,
the reintroduction of coupons which is underway, the imminent
completion of the very extensive and disruptive home furnishings
makeover, the return of critical brands such as St. John's Bay
(which Fitch estimates used to generate in excess of $1 billion of
sales but was eliminated in major categories), and the addition of
new brands should stem the pace of decline in the business as
incurred in 2012 and expected in first quarter 2013. The speed and
ability of the company to stabilize sales and return to positive
comparable store sales growth will determine additional funding
requirements in 2014 and beyond. As of now, Fitch expects
liquidity, between the new term loan and the $1.85 billion credit
facility, to be adequate through 2014.

Issue Ratings Based on Recovery Analysis

For issuers with IDRs at 'B+' and below, Fitch performs a recovery
analysis for each class of obligations of the issuer. The issue
ratings are derived from the IDR and the relevant Recovery Rating
and notching, based on Fitch's recovery analysis, that places a
liquidation value under a distressed scenario of over $5 billion
as of Feb. 2, 2013 for J.C. Penney.

J.C. Penney's $1.85 billion senior secured credit facility that
matures in April 2016 is rated 'BB-/RR1', indicating outstanding
recovery prospects (91% - 100%) in a distressed scenario. The
facility is secured by inventory and receivables with borrowings
subject to a borrowing base. The company is subject to a springing
covenant of maintaining fixed-charge coverage of 1.0x if the
availability falls below the greater of (i) 10% of line cap (the
lesser of total commitment or borrowing base) and (ii) $125
million.

The $1.75 billion new term loan expected to mature in May 2018,
which will be backed by the collateral as discussed above, is also
expected to have outstanding recovery prospects of 91% - 100%,
leading to a 'BB-/RR1' rating.

The $2.9 billion of senior unsecured notes are rated 'B-/RR4',
indicating average recovery prospects (31% - 50%). The ratings had
already reflected Fitch's expectation that the company would need
to incur additional secured debt in 2013 to fund operations. Fitch
expects to withdraw its rating on the 2023 debentures when it has
been successfully defeased or tendered.

Fitch has taken the following rating actions:

J.C. Penney Co., Inc.

-- IDR affirmed at 'B-'.

J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc.

-- IDR affirmed at 'B-';
-- $1.85 billion senior secured bank credit facility affirmed at
    'BB-/RR1';
-- $1.75 billion senior secured term loan assigned 'BB-/RR1';
-- Senior unsecured notes and debentures affirmed at 'B-/RR4'.

The Rating Outlook is Negative.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

A negative rating action could occur on worse-than-expected
deterioration in EBITDA that further constrains cash flow and
liquidity, and impedes the company's day-to-day operations.

A positive rating action could occur if the top-line starts to
stabilize, the company realizes more normalized gross margin
levels, and does not need additional financing to fund operations.


J.C. PENNEY: Moody's Cuts CFR to Caa1 After New $1-Bil. Debt Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the long term ratings of J.C.
Penney Company, Inc. including its Corporate Family Rating to Caa1
from B3. The Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-3 remains
unchanged. The rating outlook also remains negative.

The downgrade follows JCP's announcement that it had entered into
a commitment letter with Goldman Sachs under which Goldman Sachs
has committed to provide a $1.75 billion senior secured term loan.
The term loan will be secured by a first lien of real estate and a
second lien on inventory and accounts receivable. The proceeds of
the term loan will be used to fund ongoing working capital
requirements, other general corporate purposes, and to amend,
acquire, or satisfy and discharge the outstanding debentures due
2023.

The term loan will bolster JCP's liquidity by increasing its cash
balances and reducing its reliance on its revolving credit
facility. Although the term loan bolsters JCP's liquidity, it will
not solve JCP's longer term performance concerns nor reduce the
level of anticipated cash burn at JCP over the next twelve months.
The downgrade acknowledges that the term loan will greatly weaken
JCP's capital structure at a time when its earnings are at
precarious levels. The downgrade reflects Moody's opinion that the
position of the existing bondholders has been weakened by the
addition of further secured debt ahead of the unsecured notes in
the capital structure. It also acknowledges that the additional
debt makes it highly unlikely that JCP will be able to bring debt
to EBITDA to below 7.0 times and EBITA to interest expense above
1.0 time over the next twelve months, levels more indicative of a
low single B rating.

The following ratings are downgraded:

For J.C. Penney Company, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from B3

Probability of Default Rating to Caa1-PD from B3-PD

For J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc.:

Senior unsecured notes to Caa2 (LGD 5, 78%) from Caa1 (LGD 4, 66%)

Senior unsecured shelf to (P) Caa2 from (P) Caa1

The following rating is unchanged:

Speculative Grade Liquidity rating at SGL-3

Rating Rationale:

JCP's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating reflects the near term
significant weakness in JCP's operating performance and credit
metrics. It also reflects that JCP is in process of readdressing
its operating strategies which will likely result in earnings
remaining weak over the next few quarters. The rating is supported
by Moody's opinion that JCP's near term liquidity remains
adequate, albeit there will be a sizable cash flow burn in 2013
that will be supported by the proposed $1.75 billion term loan and
the $1.85 billion revolving credit facility. The rating also
acknowledges the lack of near dated debt maturities. JCP's nearest
debt maturity is not until 2015 when its $200 million 6.875%
medium term notes mature.

The negative rating outlook acknowledges Moody's expectation that
JCP's earnings continue to face downward pressure until the
company stabilizes the sales and gross margin trends. It also
acknowledges the sizable level of free cash flow burn that is
anticipated in 2013 and the current weakness in credit metrics.

Ratings could be downgraded should JCP's liquidity erode, should
its sales and earnings not begin to evidence signs of stability by
the fourth quarter of 2013, or should the overall probability of
default increase.

Given the negative outlook, an upgrade is unlikely at the present
time. In time, the outlook could return to stable should the
company evidence stability in sales while showing an improvement
in earnings and maintaining adequate liquidity. Ratings could be
upgraded should earnings improve such that it become likely that
debt to EBITDA will remain below 7.25 times and EBITA to interest
expense approaches 1.0 time.

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.

J.C. Penney Company, Inc. is one of the U.S.'s largest department
store operators with about 1,100 locations in the United States
and Puerto Rico. It also operates a website, www.jcp.com. Revenues
are about $13 billion.


KNICK EXPLORATION: Files Management Cease Trade Order Application
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Knick Exploration Inc. on April 30 disclosed that it has made
application with the applicable securities authorities for a
management cease trade order.

Knick had until April 30, 2013 for filing its audited financial
statements, its management's discussion and analysis and the CEO
and CFO certificates relating to the audited annual financial
statements for its fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2012.
Unfortunately, Knick was not able to meet this requirement and
foresee that these documents will be ready for filing by May 31st,
2013, at the latest.

Due to a lack of liquidity, Knick was in default to pay the sum
owed to its auditors and consequently, the same refused to prepare
the said annual financial statements.

Few days ago, Knick had closed with success a private placement
which brings a sufficient amount to pay its auditors and permits
to establish with them a schedule for the preparation of the
audited annual financial statements.

Knick intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative
information guidelines so long as it will remain in default of
filing the above mentioned documents.

Knick is not subject to any insolvency proceeding.

Headquartered in Val-D'Or, Quebec, Knick Exploration Inc. is
focused on identifying gold deposits in the Abitibi Gold District.
The East-West gold property is located approximately 11 kilometer
west of the town of Val-d'Or.


KORINTH ENTERPRISES: App. Ct. Rules on Appeal in Savas-Gerber Suit
------------------------------------------------------------------
PAT SAVAS, Individually and as Trustee, etc., Plaintiff, Cross-
defendant and Appellant, v. SOL GERBER and RUTH GERBER, as
Trustees, etc., et al., Defendants, Cross-complainants and
Appellants, Case Nos. B236101 and B237539 (Calif. App. Ct.), stems
from a dispute on noteholders' entitlement to sale proceeds of a
Los Angeles property.  In the case, two promissory notes, one for
$500,000 and another for $300,000, were secured by one deed of
trust on real property.  When the trustor-debtor defaulted, the
real property was sold under the power of sale in the deed of
trust.  In subsequent litigation over the ownership of the real
property, the trial court ruled that each of the note holders were
entitled to a 5/8 and 3/8 interest, respectively.

In particular, in 2009, Korinth Enterprises, Inc., and Patricia
Savas, as trustee of the Pat Savas Family Trust, filed a first
amended complaint against Sol and Ruth Gerber, as trustees of the
Gerber Family Trust, and Todd H. Kurtin and Jon R. Kurtin, as
trustees of the Kurtin Family Trust, regarding real property
located in Los Angeles.  Korinth's cause of action was for quiet
title challenging a second deed of trust; Savas Trust's causes of
action were for breach of contract and specific performance
pertaining to notes secured by the second deed of trust.

The Gerber Trust and the Kurtin Trust filed a cross-complaint for
quiet title, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, slander of title,
unjust enrichment, declaratory relief, and equitable lien relating
to the real property against Korinth, Savas Trust, Patricia
Savapoulos (Pat Savas), Thomas Savapoulos (Tom Savas), Athena
Savas, Chris Savas, Daniel Kupper, and Mid City.

After a bench trial, the trial court entered judgment, in
pertinent part, (1) in favor of Savas Trust and against the Gerber
Trust and Kurtin Trust, awarding Savas Trust a 3/8 interest and
Gerber Trust and Kurtin Trust a 5/8 interest in the real property;
(2) against Korinth and in favor of Gerber Trust and Kurtin Trust
on Korinth's claim of quiet title; (3) against Gerber Trust and
Kurtin Trust in favor of Savas Trust, Tom Savas, Pat Savas, and
Athena Savas; and (4) against Chris Savas, Mid City, and Daniel
Kupper in favor of Gerber Trust and Kurtin Trust.  The judgment
awarded Savas Trust attorney fees and costs from Gerber Trust and
Kurtin Trust.  At a subsequent hearing, the trial court denied
Savas Trust and Pat Savas's motion for attorney fees.

On appeal, the 5/8 owners claimed that they were entitled to the
entirety of the real property, arguing that the unraveling of a
settlement of an earlier dispute to which they were not a party
somehow deprived the 3/8 owner of its interest.  The Court of
Appeals of California, Second District, disagrees because the
earlier settlement had nothing to do with the rights of the 5/8
owners, who received the benefit of their bargain.  The 5/8 owners
also argued that the interests of the 3/8 owner disappeared by
virtue of the merger of title doctrine.  The California Appeals
Court also disagrees because there was no merger of title as title
of that interest was never held by the same parties.

And as to the claim of the 3/8 owner for attorney fees, the
Appeals Court concludes that the lack of an attorney fees
provision in any contract between the 3/8 owner and the 5/8 owners
defeats its claim.  Thus, the Appeals Court affirms the trial
court judgment and the order denying attorney fees.

A copy of the Appeals Court's April 18, 2013 decision is available
at http://is.gd/kfz1ghfrom Leagle.com.

Korinth filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2008.  On
April 14, 2009, the United States Trustee's Office's Motion to
Dismiss Korinth's Bankruptcy was granted by the Bankruptcy Court.

LDK SOLAR: Delays Form 20-F for 2012
------------------------------------
LDK Solar Co., Ltd., was unable to file its Form 20-F for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2012, on or before the prescribed due date of
April 30, 2013, because it needs additional time to finalize
certain items in its fourth quarter 2012 financial results,
primarily including an impairment analysis of long-lived assets
and an assessment of provisions in certain subsidiaries.

LDK Solar currently anticipates that the Form 20-F will be filed
as soon as practicable and no later than May 15, 2013.

During 2012, the challenging market conditions resulted in a
decrease in average sales price and shipment volume of LDK Solar's
wafers, modules and polysilicon and other materials.  As a result,
LDK Solar's net sales were $862.9 million for 2012, representing a
decrease of $1,294.9 million as compared to net sales of $2,157.8
million for 2011.  In 2012, LDK Solar's gross loss also increased
to $337.8 million from $39.7 million in 2011, primarily due to the
significant drop in the average selling price of LDK Solar's
products, the lower utilization rate, and the recognition of
inventory write-down of $180.9 million.  LDK Solar also recorded
an impairment loss for goodwill and intangible assets of $31.6
million, an impairment loss for assets held for sale of $74.2
million and an impairment loss for property, plant and equipment
of $109.0 million for 2012.  The combined effect of these and
certain other items resulted in an increase in net loss
attributable to shareholders to $939.5 million in 2012 from $620.9
million in 2011, and the diluted loss per share increasing to
$8.38 for 2012 from $4.90 for 2011.  The preliminary financial
results for 2012 have been derived from LDK Solar's unaudited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2012.

                           About LDK Solar

LDK Solar Co., Ltd. -- http://www.ldksolar.com-- based in Hi-
Tech Industrial Park, Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, People's
Republic of China, is a vertically integrated manufacturer of
photovoltaic products, including high-quality and low-cost
polysilicon, solar wafers, cells, modules, systems, power
projects and solutions.

LDK Solar was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 1, 2006,
by LDK New Energy, a British Virgin Islands company wholly owned
by Xiaofeng Peng, LDK's founder, chairman and chief executive
officer, to acquire all of the equity interests in Jiangxi LDK
Solar from Suzhou Liouxin Industry Co., Ltd., and Liouxin
Industrial Limited.

KPMG in Hong Kong, China, said in a May 15, 2012, audit report,
there is substantial doubt on the ability of LDK Solar Co., Ltd.,
to continue as a going concern.  According to KPMG, LDK Solar has
a net working capital deficit and is restricted to incur
additional debt as it has not met a financial covenant ratio
under a long-term debt agreement as of Dec. 31, 2011.  These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group's ability to
continue as a going concern.

LDK Solar's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $5.27 billion
in total assets, $5.41 billion in total liabilities, $323.29
million in redeemable non-controlling interests, and a $466.79
million total deficit.

April 30 in New York after the establishment was padlocked earlier
in the month for non-payment of sales taxes.

Located at 62 Laight Street in the Tribeca neighborhood, the
restaurant disclosed assets of $62,200 and debt totaling
$2.2 million, including $755,000 in secured tax claims.

MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE: S&P Assigns 'BB-' CCR to Subsidiary
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BBB-' corporate
credit rating to Macquarie Infrastructure Co. LLC (MIC).  The
outlook is stable.

"The corporate credit rating on MIC reflects the credit strength
of a modestly diverse portfolio of capital-intensive
infrastructure businesses whose assets are long-lived, contracted,
or regulated," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Richard
Cortright.

The portfolio combines an aviation servicing company with energy
businesses consisting of a liquid bulk storage business, a small
regulated gas utility, and other much smaller energy-related
investments.  S&P recognizes some marginal benefit from the non-
correlated nature of the businesses, which may reduce the effect
of operational or economic disruptions of one business or another.
There is no debt at the parent level.

On April 29, 2013, Standard & Poor's assigned its 'BB-' corporate
credit rating to Atlantic Aviation FBO Inc., MIC's single-largest
subsidiary.  The outlook is stable.  At the same time, S&P
assigned its 'BB-' issue rating to the proposed $535 million
senior secured first-lien credit facility, which consists of a
$70 million revolving credit facility and a $465 million term
loan.  The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation of
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery if a payment default occurs.

S&P assess MIC's business risk profile as "satisfactory,"
reflecting the capital-intensive, contracted, and regulated nature
of the energy businesses, as well as Atlantic Aviation's position
as the largest provider in the U.S. of fixed based operation (FBO)
services to the cyclical general aviation market.  Reflected in
the business risk profile is our assessment of the company's
management and governance as "fair," reflecting the extensive
experience of management at the asset level, as well as the strong
focus on dividend payments up to the parent.

The outlook is stable.  At Atlantic Aviation, revenue and earnings
should grow modestly in the next 12 months due to higher business
jet usage, and S&P expects credit ratios to improve slightly over
the next year.  At IMTT, the contracted nature of the cash flows
provides good transparency for the next 12 to 24 months, and debt
protection metrics remain supportive of MIC's rating.  S&P could
lower the rating if debt increases to fund acquisitions, resulting
in MIC's debt/EBITDA ratio rising above 4x.  Although unlikely in
the next year, S&P could raise the ratings if earnings improve
more than it expects or if MIC uses excess cash flows to reduce
debt, resulting in debt to EBITDA below 3x and FFO to debt above
25%.


MAXCLEAN HOLDINGS: Crowe Horwath Raises Going Concern Doubt
-----------------------------------------------------------
Maxclean Holdings Ltd filed on April 29, 2013, its annual report
on Form 20-F for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

Crowe Horwath (HK) CPA Limited, in Hong Kong, expressed
substantial doubt about Maxclean Holdings' ability to continue as
a going concern.  The independent auditors noted that the Company
has operating and liquidity concerns as the Company had suffered
recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows
and incurred an accumulated deficit of RMB82.9 million as of
Dec. 31, 2012.

The Company reported a net loss of RMB14.5 million on
RMB59.3 million of revenue in 2012, compared with a net loss of
RMB30.6 million on RMB58.8 million of revenue in 2011.  According
to the regulatory filing, the 52.4% decrease in net loss was
primarily due to the increased selling price of its products,
decreased administrative expenses, and decreased interest on bank
loans.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed
RMB71.4 million in total assets, RMB55.3 million in total current
liabilities, and net assets of RMB16.1 million.

A copy of the Form 20-F is available at http://is.gd/wPs8U2

Maxclean Holdings Ltd is a holding company, which was incorporated
in the Cayman Islands on May 30, 2011.  The Company owns 100% of
Maxclean (China) Holdings.  The Company develops, manufactures and
sells consumable contamination control supplies for use in clean-
rooms under the trade name "Maxclean".

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 30,
2011, and is owned by the same control group as Maxclean (China).

Pursuant to written board resolutions of the Company, on July 12,
2011, the shareholders of Maxclean (China) effectively exchanged
their outstanding shares of Maxclean (China) for all of the
outstanding shares of the Company.  The Share Swap has been
accounted for as a reverse capitalization whereby Maxclean (China)
will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and
the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).

On Aug. 30, 2012, the Cayman Company filed a Form F-1 Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission to register certain shares of
the Cayman Company for resale.  The Company's Form F-1
Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on
Sept. 20, 2012.

The registered address of the Company is Clifton House, 75 Fort
Street, PO Box 1350, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands.  The
principal place of business of the Company is located at 88 Yu

MEDIA GENERAL: Stockholders Elect Nine Directors
------------------------------------------------
At the Annual Meeting of Media General, Inc., held on April 25,
2013, the stockholders:

   (a) elected Dennis J. FitzSimons, Rodney A. Smolla and Carl S.
       Thigpen as Clas A directors and Stewart Bryan III, Diana F.
       Cantor, George L. Mahoney, Marshall N. Morton, Wyndham
       Robertson and Coleman Wortham III as Class B directors;

   (b) ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche, LLP, as the
       Company's independent registered public accounting firm as
       of and for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2013; and

   (c) approved the compensation paid to the Company's named
       executive officers.

                        About Media General

Richmond, Virginia-based Media General Inc. (NYSE: MEG) --
http://www.mediageneral.com/-- is an independent communications
company with interests in newspapers, television stations and
interactive media in the United States.

The Company incurred a net loss of $193.41 million in for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2012, a net loss of $74.32 million for the year
ended Dec. 25, 2011, and a net loss of $22.63 million for the
fiscal year ended Dec. 26, 2010.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2012, showed $773.42
million in total assets, $949.64 million in total liabilities and
a $176.22 million total stockholders' deficit.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on April 12, 2012,
Moody's Investors Service downgraded, among other things, Media
General's Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default
Rating (PDR) to Caa1 from B3, concluding the review for downgrade
initiated on Feb. 13, 2012.  The downgrade reflects the
significant increase in interest expense associated with the
company's credit facility amend and extend transaction and an
assumed issuance of at least $225 million of new notes, which will
result in limited free cash flow generation and constrain Media
General's capacity to reduce its very high leverage.  The weak
free cash flow and high leverage create vulnerability to changes
in the company's highly cyclical revenue and EBITDA generation.

In the Oct. 10, 2012, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services raised its rating on Richmond, Va.-based Media
General Inc. to 'B-' from 'CCC+' and removed it from CreditWatch,
where it was placed with positive implications on May 18, 2012.

"The corporate credit rating on Media General is based on our
expectation that the company will be able to maintain adequate
liquidity despite its very high leverage," noted Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Jeanne Shoesmith.


MF GLOBAL: Court Disallows Coe's $35 Million Admin. Claim
---------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn sustained the objection of Louis J.
Freeh, as the Chapter 11 trustee of MF Global Holdings, Ltd., et
al., to Michelle Y. Coe's Claim No. 1836, a copy of which decision
is available at http://is.gd/qk4qA4from Leagle.com.

Ms. Coe's present administrative claim was filed on Feb. 27, 2013,
for $35 million.  The Administrative Claim is identical to two
expunged claims, filed by Ms. Coe in 2010, which arose -- not from
a direct relationship between Ms. Coe and the Debtors but -- from
Man Financial's purchase of certain assets from Refco Inc., et al.
entities in 2005.  Debtor MF Global Inc. is a successor to Man
Financial.  The 2010 claims were for "intellectual property trade
secret" and a "trade secret."

In an April 18, 2013 decision, Judge Glenn expunged Claim No. 1836
and imposed monetary sanctions against Ms. Coe for $250 payable to
the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court.

that the court-approved disclosure statement initially told
creditors with $1.134 billion in unsecured claims against the
parent holding company why they could expect a recovery of 13.4%

against the holding company.  As a consequence of the settlement,

billion in unsecured claims against the finance subsidiary,
one of the companies under the umbrella of the holding company
trustee.  Previously, the predicted recovery was 14.7% to 34% on

MOUNTAINVIEW ENERGY: Delays Filing of Annual Financial Statements
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mountainview Energy Ltd. on April 30 disclosed that the filing of
its annual financial statements and related management discussion
and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012 will be delayed.
The Filings are due on or before April 30, 2013.  As a result of
the failure to file the Filings on time and in accordance with
applicable securities laws, Mountainview has, pursuant to an
application made to the Alberta Securities Commission and the
British Columbia Securities Commission, voluntarily requested a
management cease trade order in accordance with National Policy
12-203.  A management cease trade order will prevent
Mountainview's President & Chief Executive Officer, Patrick
Montalban, as well as its Chief Financial Officer, Angelique
Hatch, and the directors of Mountainview from trading the
Company's securities while the Company remains in filing default,
but enables all other investors to continue trading the Company's
securities.

The filing delay is principally due to the fact that Mountainview
is preparing the Filings for the first time in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, which requires the corresponding changes in reserves
engineering requirements associated with preparing the Annual
Filings.  Mountainview and its auditors and independent reserves
engineers have worked diligently to proceed with the conversion to
U.S. GAAP; however, it is expected that this process will take
some additional time thereby delaying Mountainview's ability to
file the Filings.  It is anticipated that this process will be
complete soon and the 2012 Annual Financial Materials will be
filed shortly after the filing deadline.  Mountainview expects to
file the 2012 Annual Financial Materials on or before May 17,
2013, and not later than May 31, 2013.

If the financial statements are not filed by May 31, 2013, the
date that is one month after the filing deadline for the Filings,
the relevant security commissions or regulators may impose an
issuer cease trade order.  Mountainview understands that an issuer
cease trade order may be imposed sooner if Mountainview fails to
file its bi-weekly Default Status Reports on time.

Mountainview intends to satisfy the alternative information
guidelines set out in the Policy by issuing bi-weekly default
status reports in the form of news releases so long as it remains
in default of this filing requirement.

Mountainview is not subject to, nor does it expect to become
subject to, any insolvency proceedings.  If for any unforeseen
reason Mountainview becomes subject to any insolvency proceedings
during the period in which it is in default, Mountainview will
file material change reports containing the same information it
provides to creditors at the same time the information is provided
to creditors throughout the period in which it is in default.

All material information concerning the affairs of Mountainview
has been disclosed to the public through news releases and filed
on SEDAR.

on the TSX Venture Exchange, with a primary focus on the

NEW CENTURY TRS: Dist. Court Denies Carr's Reconsideration Motion
-----------------------------------------------------------------
District Judge Sue L. Robinson denied Anita B. Carr's motion for
reconsideration of the Delaware district court's March 25, 2013
memorandum order affirming orders of the Delaware bankruptcy
court.  The District Court also denied Ms. Carr's petition for a
writ of mandamus.

Ms. Carr has failed to demonstrate her entitlement to a writ of
mandamus, Judge Robinson said.

Ms. Carr previously petitioned the District Court to command the
bankruptcy court "to preserve and not abandon evidence and to
produce" to her certan evidence because she had litigation pending
in other courts and may require those evidence.

A copy of the District Court's April 17, 2013 Memorandum Order is
available at http://is.gd/d6Zfb3from Leagle.com.

The appeals case is ANITA B. CARR, Appellant, v. ALAN M. JACOBS,
as liquidating trustee of the New Century Liquidating Trust,
Appellee, Civ. No. 12-288-SLR (D. Del).

among firms hit by the collapse of the subprime mortgage business
industry in 2006.

The company and its debtor-affiliates filed for Chapter 11
protection on April 2, 2007 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No.
07-10416).  Suzzanne Uhland, Esq., Austin K. Barron, Esq., and Ana
Acevedo, Esq., at O'Melveny & Myers LLP, and Mark D. Collins,
Esq., Michael J. Merchant, Esq., and Jason M. Madron, Esq., at
Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., represent the Debtors.  The
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors selected Hahn & Hessen
as its bankruptcy counsel and Blank Rome LLP as its co-counsel.

When the Debtors filed for bankruptcy, they disclosed total assets
of $36,276,815 and total debts of $102,503,950.

The Company sold its assets in transactions approved by the
Bankruptcy Court.

The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11
Plan of Liquidation of the Debtors and the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors on July 15, 2008, which became effective on
Aug. 1, 2008.  An appeal was taken and, on July 16, 2009, District
Judge Sue Robinson issued a Memorandum Opinion reversing the
Confirmation Order.  On July 27, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court
entered an Order Granting Motion of the Trustee for an Order
Preserving the Status Quo Including Maintenance of Alan M. Jacobs
as Liquidating Trustee, Plan Administrator and Sole Officer and
Director of the Debtors, Pending Entry of a Final Order Consistent
with the District Court's Memorandum Opinion.

Modified Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation.  The
Modified Plan adopted, ratified and confirmed the New Century
Liquidating Trust Agreement, dated as of Aug. 1, 2008, which
created the New Century Liquidating Trust and appointed Alan M.
Jacobs as Liquidating Trustee of New Century Liquidating Trust and
Plan Administrator of New Century Warehouse Corporation.


NEW MEATCO: Ceases Operations & Sells Assets to Harvest
-------------------------------------------------------
New Meatco Provisions, LLC on April 30 disclosed that it closed on
the sale of certain of its assets to Harvest Meat Company, Inc.
After conducting a process designed to maximize the value of its
assets and recoveries for creditors, Meatco decided to sell its
inventory to Harvest for the highest available price and at fair
value.  Harvest also purchased Meatco's remaining accounts
receivable and will collect the accounts for a reasonable fee.

In November 2012, Meatco defaulted on its secured loan
obligations.  In connection with the defaults, Meatco entered into
a forbearance agreement with its lenders to gain time to attempt
to cure the defaults, hiring a financial advisor to assist Meatco
with seeking new business and capital, maximizing revenue, and
reducing costs.

Notwithstanding these efforts, Meatco continued to encounter
severe liquidity challenges and ultimately was unable to continue
operations.  As such, after exploring all of its options, the
Company determined that the best alternative to maximize value for
its stakeholders was to terminate all of its operations and sell
its assets to the highest available bidder.

The Company is continuing its efforts to maximize the value of its
assets.

Inquiries should be directed to Meatco's Chief Restructuring
Officer, Daniel Scouler, at (310) 207-2244.


NEWLAND INT'L: Trump Ocean Club Owner in Ch. 11 with Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Newland International Properties Corp., a unit of Panama-based
Ocean Point Development Corp. that developed luxury hotel and
condominium known as the "Trump Ocean Club International Hotel &
Tower," located in Panama City, Panama, has sought Chapter 11
protection in New York with a bankruptcy exit plan that would
further restructure $220 million secured notes used to finance the
project.

At the behest of the Debtor, Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn will
quickly convene a hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan and
approval of the explanatory disclosure statement on May 28, 2013.

Newland, which filed the bankruptcy petition (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case
No. 13-11396) in Manhattan on April 30, 2012, said the Trump Ocean
Club is a multi-use 69-floor luxury tower overlooking the Pacific
Ocean, with luxury condominium residences, a world-class hotel
condominium, a limited number of offices and premier leisure
amenities.  The Trump Ocean Club is located on the Punta Pacifica
Peninsula -- one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Panama
City.

Construction of the Trump Ocean Club was fully completed in
September 2012 at a cost of $294.6 million.  As of April 23, 2013,
sellout totals $530.2 million, consisting of 604 sold units
aggregating $239.2 million and 495 available units aggregating
$290.9 million.

"Ongoing developments in international capital markets and the
overall impact of the world economic crisis on the real estate
business, which have persisted to date, have brought about and
exacerbated several trends that subject the Debtor to
extraordinary pressure and duress," the Debtor's COO, Carlos A.
Saravia, said in court filings.

Reduction in unit sales, delays or cancellations in
closings, longer processing times for the funding of local bank
mortgages, and the lack of available financing for real estate
development companies, have significantly impacted the Debtor's
cash flows and the ability of the Debtor to service its debt in
accordance with the original debt service schedule.

The Debtor is not an affiliate of Trump Entertainment Resorts,
Inc., Trump Organization, LLC or Trump Marks Panama LLC.

                  Prepetition Capital Structure

The Debtor's prepetition capital structure is comprised of senior
secured notes relating to the financing and development of the
Trump Ocean Club and certain other related obligations. On
November 7, 2007, the Debtor entered into that certain indenture,
dated as of November 7, 2007, as amended by and among the Debtor
and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as trustee and HSBC Investment
Corporation (Panama) as co-trustee, providing for the issuance of
$220,000,000 in Senior Secured Notes due 2014 at an offering price
of 96.934%.

Due to liquidity pressures, the Debtor defaulted on the notes
starting in November 2011.  It did not make the required interest
payment and the first scheduled payment of amortization of
principal due to the prepetition Noteholders on Nov. 15, 2011.
The Debtor also defaulted on the second interest payment and
second scheduled payment of amortization on May 15, 2012.

                       The Chapter 11 Plan

Prepetition, the Debtor negotiated with noteholders and on
Jan. 23, 2013, executed a plan support agreement with noteholders
representing 41.76% in aggregate principal amount of the
prepetition senior secured notes.  The Chapter 11 plan filed by
the Debtor on the Petition Date embodies the terms of the PSA.

According to the Disclosure Statement, the Plan provides for these
terms:

    * Unclassified claims.  Administrative expense claims,
professional compensation claims and priority tax claims will be
paid in full and are unimpaired.  Recovery: 100%

    * Secured Notes.  Each holder of an allowed prepetition senior
secured notes claim will receive new notes.  The new notes will
reschedule the Debtor's principal payment obligations to more
closely align such obligations with the cash flows expected to be
generated by sales and closings on unit purchase agreements
Noteholders are impaired.  Recovery: 95% to 100%.

    * General Unsecured Claims.  General unsecured claims,
including trade claims, will be reinstated, paid in full or
otherwise rendered unimpaired. The Debtor owes $32.1 million in
principal amount of unsecured trade debt as of March 13, 2013.
Recovery: 100%.

    * Interests.  Interests will be reinstated.  Interest holders
are unimpaired and are presumed to have accepted the Plan.
Recovery: N/A

A copy of the Disclosure Statement is available for free at:
http://bankrupt.com/misc/Newland_Disclosure_Statement.pdf

The Debtor's board will be reconstituted to reflect that the
Noteholders will have a right to appoint a delegate to the new
board.

The Debtor commenced solicitation of votes prepetition.  Only the
lone impaired class -- the secured noteholders -- was entitled to
vote on the Plan.  According to Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC,
the tabulation agent, accepting votes from holders of 100% in
number and 100% in amount of all voted claims from noteholders
were received prior to the voting deadline.

The Debtor is seeking confirmation of the Plan at this timeline:

Record Date                                March 20, 2013
Commencement of Prepetition Solicitation   April 1, 2013
Voting Deadline                            April 29, 2013
Petition Date                              April 30, 2013
Mailing of Combined Hearing Notice         May 2, 2013
Plan Supplement                            May 17, 2013
Objection Deadline                         May 21, 2013
Reply Deadline                             May 24, 2013
Combined Hearing                           May 28, 2013

                      First Day Motions

At the Debtor's behest, the Court has extended the Debtor's
deadline to file its schedules of assets and liabilities through
and until July 1, 2013.  To the extent the Debtor's Chapter 11
plan is declared effective before the deadline, the requirement to
file those documents is permanently waived.

Other "first day" motions approved by the Court at the initial
hearing on May 1 include the Debtor's requests to pay employee
wages and benefits, confirm the protections of the automatic stay
and restrain any actions in violation thereof, pay claims of
certain foreign vendors, and hire Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions as
claims and noticing agent.  The bankruptcy judge also granted
interim approval to the Debtor's request to use cash collateral at
the said hearing.

The bankruptcy judge will convene a hearing on May 17 to consider
final approval of the cash collateral motion and other motions.


NORTEC MINERALS: Fails to File Audited Financial Statements
-----------------------------------------------------------
Nortec Minerals Corp. on April 30 disclosed that it will not be in
a position to file its audited annual financial statements,
management's discussion and analysis and related certifications
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 on or before April 30,
2013, as required, as a result in large part due a late
determination in consultation with its auditor that consequent to
the issuance by Finore Mining Inc. of common shares to the Issuer
during the financial year ended December 31, 2012 and as at
February 28, 2013, accounting policies require the Issuer to
consolidate the financial position and results of Finore due to
the Issuer's position of control in Finore.  Nortec advises that
this issue was brought to its attention by Nortec's auditor in
mid-April, 2013, and Nortec has since been reviewing and
discussing the issue with its auditor.  Nortec advises that this
consolidation requirement has created a significant amount of
additional work to be performed by it to complete the Statements
and Nortec has had to coordinate with Finore to gather the
requisite financial information related to Finore for the
Statements.

Accordingly, the Issuer has requested the issuance of a management
cease trade order under the provisions of National Policy 12-203
Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults ("NP 12-
203") so as to permit the continued trading in the Issuer's Common
Shares by persons other than insiders and employees of the Issuer.
The Issuer is working closely with its auditor, and the Issuer
expects to be able to have the audit of the Statements completed,
and the Statements filed, by May 13, 2013.

The Issuer confirms that it intends to satisfy the provisions of
section 4.4 of NP 12-203 and issue bi-weekly default status
reports for so long as the Issuer remains in default of the
financial statement filing requirement, containing any material
changes to the information in this release; all actions taken by
the Issuer to remedy the default; particulars of any failure by
the Issuer to fulfill these provisions; any subsequent defaults of
the Issuer requiring a default announcement; and any other
material information concerning the affairs of the Issuer not
previously disclosed.  The Issuer is not subject to any insolvency
proceedings nor is there in other material information concerning
the affairs of the Issuer that has not been generally disclosed.

NUANCE COMMS: Moody's Reviews Ba2 CFR for Possible Downgrade
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Nuance Communications, Inc.'s
ratings including its Ba2 corporate family rating under review for
possible downgrade. The review was prompted by the company's
recently announced share $500 million share buyback program
combined with below expectation performance in each operating
segment in their quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Rating Rationale:

The review will focus on the outlook for bookings, revenues,
profitability and free cash flow for the company as well as the
impact and timing of a shift in capital allocation strategies.
Potential downward action is likely limited to one notch. The
review is expected to be concluded over the next month.

The current ratings contemplated organic growth as well as near to
medium term deleveraging to 3.5x. The ratings also contemplated
Nuance's strong cash balances and cash generating capabilities
would be used to build the company primarily through strategic
acquisitions not to buy back shares. The high cash levels were
viewed as an offset to the high debt load (approximately $2.5
billion on a Moody's adjusted basis) and high leverage (pro forma
debt to EBITDA of 4.5x -- 5.25x). The recent performance and
revised guidance for fiscal 2013 also diminish the prospects of
growing into its capital structure over the near term. While some
of the decline in performance was likely due to the shift to a
subscription model from a license model (which has a negative
impact on GAAP revenue recognition), the challenges appear to be
driven by business segment specific factors including pricing
competition in the mobile segment.

Issuer: Nuance Communications, Inc.

On Review for Downgrade:

Probability of Default Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade,
currently Ba2-PD

Corporate Family Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade, currently

Outlook Actions:

Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Stable

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.

Nuance Communications, Inc., headquartered in Burlington, MA, is a
leading provider of speech, text and imaging solutions for
business and consumers. The company had revenues of $1.6 billion
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012.


NV ENERGY: Fitch Raises LT Issuer Default Rating to 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded NV Energy, Inc.'s (NVE) Long-term
Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'BB+' from 'BB'. Fitch has also
upgraded the Long-term IDRs of NVE's utility operating
subsidiaries Nevada Power Company d/b/a/ NV Energy (NPC) and
Sierra Pacific Power Company d/b/a/ NV Energy (SPPC) to 'BBB-'
from 'BB+'. Fitch has also assigned a short-term IDR of 'F3' to
NPC and SPPC. Finally, Fitch has upgraded to 'BBB' and withdrawn
NPC's senior unsecured debt rating. A full list of rating actions
follows at the end of this release. The Rating Outlook for NVE,
NPC and SPPC is revised to Stable from Positive. Approximately $5
billion of debt is affected by the rating actions.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

-- Improving financial profile due to significant debt reduction,
    higher earnings and lower interest expense;

-- Relatively low 2013 - 2015 cap-ex requirements following
    completion of a major generation build cycle;

-- A balanced regulatory environment in Nevada;

-- Relatively high debt leverage notwithstanding significant
    reductions in recent years;

-- Continued, albeit sluggish, economic recovery in Nevada

Upgrade and Stable Outlook

The ratings and Stable Rating Outlooks reflect improved
consolidated credit metrics due to historic and anticipated debt
reduction, a balanced regulatory environment in Nevada and slowly
improving regional economic conditions. The ratings consider NVE
management's ongoing efforts to continue to work effectively with
regulators to reduce regulatory lag and improve credit quality and
earned returns. The Public Utility Commission of Nevada (PUCN) has
approved several rate riders designed to recover certain variable
costs outside of base rate proceedings and general rate case
decisions in recent years have been supportive of credit quality,
in Fitch's opinion.

Improved Financial Profile

In 2012, NVE's credit metrics improved meaningfully, primarily
reflecting the $159 million rate increase authorized by the PUCN
in NPC's last general rate case (GRC) effective Jan. 1, 2012.
EBITDA-to-interest and debt-to-EBITDA of 3.8x and 4.4x,
respectively, in 2012 are consistent with today's ratings upgrade.
Fitch projects that NVE's EBITDA coverage and debt ratios will
improve to 4x or better during 2013 - 2015. Similarly, 2012 FFO
coverage and leverage ratios of 3.9x and 17.4% are expected to
strengthen modestly to 4.1x and 19% during 2013 - 2015, supporting
today's rating actions and Stable Rating Outlook.

Capex and FCF

NVE's capex peaked in 2008 due to a multi-year effort to
build/acquire generating capacity to lessen NVE's reliance on
purchase power. With this period of elevated capital investment
behind the company, projected capex during 2013 - 2015 is expected
to average less than $500 million per annum. On a cumulative
basis, NVE is expected to spend less during 2013 - 2015 than its
peak 2008 investment tally of $1.6 billion. Fitch expects the
decline in growth-related capital expenditures combined with a
sharp increase operating earnings to result in significant excess
cash generation during 2013 - 2015. Based on current assumptions,
Fitch expects further debt reduction through 2015.

Management Strategy

Growth capital at NVE is expected to be limited, in Fitch's
opinion, to completion of its smart grid investment, ON Line and
other, relatively small transmission projects. Management intends
to utilize internal cash to reduce debt while returning capital to
shareholders through increased dividends, targeting a 60% - 65%
payout ratio. Based on its current annual payout of $0.76 per
share and the $1.30 per share mid-point of management's current
earnings per share guidance, NVE's payout ratio is 59%.

NPC 2011 GRC
NVE earnings, cash flow and coverage ratios benefit from the $159
million (7%) rate increase approved by the PUCN in NPC's 2011 GRC.
NPC filed the GRC in June 2011 and the PUCN issued its final
decision December 2011. The rate increase represents more than 60%
of NVE's requested $250 million rate hike and was effective
January 1, 2012. The PUCN rate increase was based on a 10.0%
authorized return on equity (ROE), 50-basis points below the ROE
adopted in NVE's previous GRC.

Regulatory/Political Environment

While the 50-basis point decrease in authorized ROE in its 2011
GRC is a concern, the overall rate increase in the commission's
final decision was, in Fitch's view, supportive of NVE/NPC credit
quality. Fitch expects the regulatory compact in Nevada to
continue to be supportive of NPC and its operating utilities
current credit quality. Fitch expects NVE's need for large base
rate increases to diminish in light of our expectations for
meaningfully lower 2013 - 2015 capital expenditures.

Under Nevada regulation, utilities file triennial GRCs and final
decisions are required seven months following filing dates.
Utilities are able to update GRC filings for known and measurable
items. Other credit supportive aspects of Nevada regulation
include pre-approval of planned capex and PUCN authorized deferred
accounting and pass-through mechanisms for timely recovery of fuel
and purchase power and demand side management expenses as well as
lost sales due to energy efficiency programs.

SPPC submitted Notices of Intent (NOI) April 3, 2013 with the PUCN
to file electric and gas rate adjustments by June 3, 2013 for
rates to be effective January 1, 2014. Under Nevada state law,
utilities are required to provide 60 day notice prior to filing a
GRC.

Nevada Economic Conditions

Fitch's projections consider the relatively sluggish recovery
underway in Nevada. The state was hit particularly hard by the
collapse of the housing market and broader recession that began in
2007. The high unemployment rate and general economic malaise in
Nevada have constrained power demand and financial improvement at
NVE and its utilities, in Fitch's opinion. Retail kilowatt-hour
sales turned positive in 2012 for NPC/SPPC and continued modest
growth is projected during 2013 - 2015 at rates well-below those
experienced prior to the great recession.

One Company Merger Initiative:

NPC plans to merge NPC and SPPC following completion of the ON
Line transmission project (ON Line). The 235 mile 500 kv
transmission project will connect NV's southern service territory
(NPC) with its northern service territory (SPPC) enabling more
efficient joint dispatch and providing access to California
markets. NVE will have a 25% ownership interest in the project,
which is expected to be completed by December 31, 2013. Management
has indicated that it plans to file its merger application with
regulators six months prior to completion of ON Line. Regulatory
approval is required from the PUCN and FERC to complete the
anticipated merger. In Fitch's view, the merger of NPC and SPPC is
not likely to have an impact on NVE, NPC or SPPC's credit ratings.

Adequate Liquidity

Fitch considers NVE's liquidity position to be adequate. NPC and
SPPC have sufficient availability under their respective $500
million and $250 million revolving credit facilities. These five-
year facilities mature March 2017. Availability under the
facilities is reduced by negative mark-to-market exposure of
hedging obligations of up to $250 million for NPC and $125 million
for SPPC.

Under the direction of the PUCN, neither utility has entered into
fixed-price natural gas hedges since 2009. At year-end 2012,
neither utility had any negative mark-to-market exposure for
hedging transactions. The facilities contain one financial
maintenance covenant requiring both NPC and SPPC's debt-to-capital
ratio not to exceed 68%.

Ample availability under the credit facilities and a historical
track record of accessibility to the capital markets, combined
with moderate capex needs, should facilitate sufficient financial
flexibility to NVE and its utility subsidiaries, in Fitch's
opinion.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

An adverse change to the regulatory compact in Nevada could
trigger future negative rating actions.

Greater than anticipated debt reduction and/or a faster-than-
expected economic recovery in Nevada could result in positive
rating actions.

Fitch has taken the following rating actions:

NVE

-- Long-term IDR upgraded to 'BB+' from 'BB';
-- Senior unsecured debt upgraded to 'BB+' from 'BB'.

NPC

-- Long-term IDR upgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BB+';
-- Senior secured debt upgraded to 'BBB+' from 'BBB';
-- Senior unsecured debt upgraded to 'BBB' from 'BB+' and
    withdrawn
-- Short-term IDR rated 'F3'.

SPPC

-- Long-term IDR upgraded to 'BBB-' from 'BB+';
-- Senior secured debt upgraded to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'
-- Short-term IDR rated 'F3'.

The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Positive.


O&G LEASING: Court Confirms Plan of Reorganization
--------------------------------------------------
The U.S Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Mississippi
confirmed on April 22, 2013, O&G Leasing, LLC, et al.'s Second
Amended Plan of Reorganization filed Jan. 8, 2013, the Plan
Supplement filed Feb. 5, 2013, and the Immaterial Modifications to
the Second Amended Plan filed April 11, 2013.

Class 4 (2009 Subordinate Debenture Claims) voted by the requisite
majority in number under Section 1126(c) to accept the Plan but
did not vote by the requisite majority in dollar amount under
Section 1126(d) to accept the Plan.  All other Impaired Classes of
Claims under the Plan entitled to vote - Classes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6
- have each accepted the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code by the requisite majorities required by Section
1126(c) and (d).  The Debtors were therefore required, and the
Plan requested, to proceed with confirmation of the Plan under
Section 1129(b) and its cramdown provisions with respect to
Class 4.

As reported in the TCR on Feb. 27, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court
approved the disclosure statement for the Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization dated Jan. 8, 2013, proposed by O&G Leasing, LLC,
and Performance Drilling Company, LLC.

The Plan provides for payment in full of all allowed claims.
Secured and unsecured claims will be paid from Cash on hand and
revenues generated from operations from and after the Effective
Date.  The interest in O&G will be canceled, and the Holder of
such Interest will not receive a distribution under the Plan.

A copy of the Second Amended Disclosure Statement is available
at http://bankrupt.com/misc/o&gleasing.doc917.pdf

                         About O&G Leasing

Jackson, Mississippi-based O&G Leasing, LLC, was formed in 2006 to
acquire and construct land drilling rigs that it would lease to
its wholy-owned subsidiary, Performance Drilling Company, LLC.
Performance was formed to provide contract drilling services for
tArkLaTex (Arkansas, Louisiana and Eastern Texas) region, as well
as Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Oklahoma.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 21,
2010 (Bankr. S.D. Miss. Case No. 10-01851).  BMC Group, Inc.,
serves as the Debtor's solicitation and voting agent.  The Debtor
estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and $50 million to
$100 million in debts.

Performance filed a separate petition for Chapter 11 relief
(Bankr. S.D. Miss. Case No. 10-01852) on May 21, 2010.
Performance estimated assets and debts of between $1,000,000 and
$10,000,000 in its petition.

The Debtors retained McCraney, Montagnet, Quin & Noble, PLLC as
their bankruptcy counsel and Young Williams, P.A., as corporate
counsel.  Young Williams was replaced by Bradley Arant Boult
Cummings, LLP, as corporate counsel effective March 8, 2012, but
remained engaged as special counsel on litigation matters.


OAK ROCK: Banks Cry Fraud, Seek Ch. 7 for Specialty Lender
----------------------------------------------------------
Alleged creditors of Oak Rock Financial, Llc filed a Chapter 7
involuntary petition for Oak Rock on April 29, 2013 (Bankr.
E.D.N.Y. Case No. 13-72251).

The petitioning creditors are Israel Discount Bank of New York,
Bank Leumi USA, and Bank Hapoalim B.M.

Lance Duroni of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that three banks, owed
nearly $63 million, moved Monday to force Oak Rock into Chapter 7
liquidation, claiming the specialty asset-based lending firm has
committed a "massive fraud" against its secured lenders.

According to the report, in the span of two weeks, the Bohemia,
N.Y.-based firm's founder and manager John P. Murphy has resigned
and disappeared, while his replacement revealed the alleged fraud
to the lenders but pointed the finger at Murphy, IDBNY said in
court papers filed in New York.


ON ASSIGNMENT: Moody's Rates Proposed $500MM Debt Facility 'Ba2'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded the Corporate Family Rating of
On Assignment, Inc. to Ba2 from Ba3 and assigned a Ba2 rating to a
proposed $500 million senior secured credit facility which will be
used to refinance the existing credit facility.

Moody's concurrently raised On Assignment's Probability of Default
Rating to Ba3-PD from B1-PD and affirmed the SGL-2 Speculative
Grade Liquidity Rating. The ratings outlook is stable.

Ratings upgraded:

Corporate Family Rating, to Ba2 from Ba3

Probability of Default Rating, to Ba3-PD from B1-PD

Ratings assigned (and Loss Given Default assessments):

Proposed $125 million first lien revolver due 2018, Ba2 (LGD3,
33%)

Proposed $100 million first lien term loan A due 2018, Ba2 (LGD3,
33%)

Proposed $275 million first lien term loan B due 2020, Ba2 (LGD3,
33%)

Rating affirmed:

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, SGL-2

These ratings are subject to Moody's review of final
documentation. The ratings on the existing senior secured debt
instruments will be withdrawn upon closing.

Rating Rationale:

The CFR upgrade to Ba2 reflects significant deleveraging from both
debt reduction and revenue growth, exceeding expectations. Since
the Apex acquisition, On Assignment has reduced debt by roughly
$100 million and Moody's expects debt / EBITDA to remain below 3x.

The Ba2 CFR reflects On Assignment's market position as one of the
larger players in the attractive IT staffing market. This niche
industry continues to benefit from strong secular demand trends
supported by ongoing technology change and a supply / demand
imbalance for professionals possessing particular skill sets. On
Assignment appears to be taking market share as revenues are
growing at a faster pace than industry averages. Moody's expects
consolidated revenues to grow by double-digits over the next 12-18
months, driven in particular by rising volumes from the healthcare
end market. Because of its focus on professional staffing niches
with high bill rates, On Assignment realizes higher profitability
margins than its rated peers within the competitive staffing
industry. Cash flow generation is expected to remain strong, in
spite of working capital needs to support growth.

Like its competitors, On Assignment is vulnerable to shifts in
macroeconomic trends such as rising unemployment or a pullback in
spending on capital projects. However, the Apex segment performed
relatively well in the last recession and may help soften the
impact of the next down cycle on the consolidated company's
results. The ratings are also constrained by On Assignment's size
and geographic concentration in the US.

The stable outlook anticipates On Assignment will maintain market
share and grow revenues in line with industry averages over the
next 12-18 months, while maintaining stable profitability margins
and a good liquidity profile. The ratings could be upgraded if On
Assignment expands its revenue base, increases liquidity and
reduces debt such that debt / EBITDA and free cash flow / debt
could be sustained below 2.5 times and above 15%, respectively, in
a downturn. The ratings could be downgraded if revenue or cash
flow decline significantly, or if On Assignment uses debt for
acquisitions or shareholder returns that results in pro forma debt
/ EBITDA sustained above 3.5 times or free cash flow / debt
falling below 8%.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Business
& Consumer Service Industry 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.

California-based On Assignment is a leading professional staffing
firm specializing in the technology, healthcare, and life sciences
sectors. Revenues are expected to exceed $1.6 billion in 2013.

PATRIOT COAL: Warns of Liquidation Without Major Cuts to Labor
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tim Bross and Nick Brown, writing for Reuters, reported that
Patriot Coal Corp on Monday told a judge it would liquidate if not
allowed to make drastic cuts to employee pension and healthcare
benefits, as coal miners protested on the first day of a
week-long court hearing.

According to the Reuters report, Patriot, which filed for
bankruptcy in July, told the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in St. Louis it
planned to cut $150 million in annual labor costs by ceasing
pension contributions and converting healthcare to an outside
fund.

The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) has condemned the
proposals as "nowhere near" fair, but a Patriot lawyer said it
is a matter of survival, the Reuters report related.

"If denied, we are headed for a catastrophic end," Patriot
attorney Elliot Moskowitz told Reuters.  "We will liquidate."

Reuters related that in rallies staged by the UMWA outside the
courthouse, 16 protesters were arrested. The union boasted that
the rallies drew 6,000 attendees, though the St. Louis
Metropolitan Police Department reported 2,000.

Reuters further related that under bankruptcy law, if companies
cannot negotiate compromises with unions, they can seek court
permission to impose cuts unilaterally. But the companies must
show that the cuts are crucial to survival, and that a good-faith
effort has been made to achieve them cooperatively.

Patriot has offered to cease pension contributions and convert
healthcare to a voluntary employees' beneficiary association, or
VEBA, funded by $15 million in up-front cash and $300 million in
profit-sharing contributions, the report said.  The union would
receive a 35 percent equity stake in post-bankruptcy Patriot,
which it could sell to help fund the VEBA.

Benefits for about 13,000 retired workers and their dependents are
at stake, the report added.

                          Peabody Probe

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Palank at Daily Bankruptcy Review reports
that Patriot Coal and its unsecured creditors are looking to widen
an investigation into whether the mining company's 2007 spinoff
from Peabody Energy Corp. was a fraudulent deal that can be
challenged in court.

                       About Patriot Coal

and marketer of coal in the eastern United States, with 13 active
mining complexes in Appalachia and the Illinois Basin.  The

Lead Case No. 12-12900) on July 9, 2012.  Patriot said it had
$3.57 billion of assets and $3.07 billion of debts, and has
arranged $802 million of financing to continue operations during
the reorganization.

bankruptcy judge.  The New York Judge in a Jan. 23, 2013 order
denied motions to transfer the venue to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of West Virginia.


PGA FLYOVER: Accused Of Filing Ch. 11 to Ditch $45MM Judgment
-------------------------------------------------------------
Carolina Bolado of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that BBX Capital
Asset Management LLC has accused a Palm Beach real estate
developer of hiding $64 million offshore and putting his company
into Chapter 11 protection to avoid paying a $45 million judgment
the lender won in a state court proceeding.

According to the report, in a motion filed Apr. 24, BBX asked a
Florida bankruptcy court to dismiss the Chapter 11 case of PGA
Flyover Corporate Park LLC, arguing the April 17 petition was a
bad-faith filing by the company's owner Daniel Catalfumo.

                    About PGA Flyover Corporate

PGA Flyover Corporate Park LLC filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr.
S.D. Fla. Case No. 13-18701) in West Palm Beach, Florida on
April 17, 2013.  Bradley S. Shraiberg, Esq., at Shraiberg, Ferrara
& Landau, P.A., in Boca Raton, Florida, serves as counsel to the
Debtor.  The Debtor disclosed $10 million to $50 million in assets
and liabilities.

The Debtor, owner of the mixed use development known as the PGA
Professional and Design Center in Florida, filed a liquidating
plan that would satisfy 100% of its liabilities.

PGA Flyover, an entity managed and owned by Florida developer
Daniel S. Catalfumo, says it has commenced the bankruptcy case to
resolve the wasteful scorched earth litigation tactics engaged in
by BBX Capital Asset Management, LLC, the current owner of a final
judgment of $40.9 million.

The PGA Professional and Design Center is located on the Southeast
quadrant of PGA Boulevard and RCA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens,
an attractive location with strong development potential.

An initial Chapter 11 status conference is slated for May 6, 2013
at 1:30 p.m.

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: US Bank Wants Discovery on GreenPoint Deals
----------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee, asks the
Bankruptcy Court to modify the limitation it placed on discovery
against Debtor GMAC Mortgage Corporation to permit the bank to
seek transaction documents and email communications, relating to
the Debtor's participation in the purchase of 30,000 residential
mortgage loans from GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc., in
September 2005 and July 2006.

The discovery is sought in connection with the lawsuit captioned
U.S. Bank National Association v. GreenPoint Mortgage Funding,
Inc., a case pending before the New York State Supreme Court, New
York County, in which the Indenture Trustee seeks remedies
including the repurchase price of all of the loans, totaling $1.83
billion, from GreenPoint.  The GreenPoint Action is not subject to
any bankruptcy stay and party depositions may begin in May.

The Indenture Trustee relates that it has duly served a subpoena
on the Debtor in January 2013 but the Debtor has failed to produce
any documents, citing an order by the Bankruptcy Court.  According
to the Indenture Trustee, the documents sought from the Debtor --
a limited set of transaction documents, emails and correspondence
relating to one specific securitization at issue in the GreenPoint
Action -- likely cannot be obtained from any other party.

A hearing on US Bank's motion will be held on May 14, 2013, at
10:00 a.m. (ET).  Objections are due May 7.

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Wins Approval for E&Y as Tax Advisor
---------------------------------------------------------
Residential Capital LLC and its affiliates sought and obtained the
Court's authority to employ Ernst & Young LLP as their tax
advisor, nunc pro tunc to Oct. 1, 2012.

Historically, the Debtors have received their tax support from
Ally Financial, Inc.; however, in order to avoid a conflict of
interest, either real or implied, the Debtors determined it was
appropriate to seek independent advisors.  At the request of the
Debtors, EY LLP has been providing services to the Debtors since
October 1, 2012.  Initially, EY LLP provided advice related to the
Debtors' options concerning its tax sharing agreement with its
parent as well as the tax implications, if any, related to the
closing of the Debtors' asset sales.  Those services, the Debtors
state, were important in ensuring their assets, including
potentially available tax attributes, are preserved for the
highest value to the estates, adverse tax consequences related to
the structuring of the Section 363 asset sales or other
contemplated transactions are minimized, and claims from various
taxing authorities are examined and resolved as judiciously as
possible at the lowest possible cost to the Debtors' estates.
More recently, EY LLP is, and will continue, assisting the Debtors
in their analysis and resolutions of non-real estate tax claims
filed against the Debtors by both state and federal departments.

E&Y will be tasked to:

   (i) Advise Residential Capital, LLC in developing an
       understanding of the tax implications of its bankruptcy
       restructuring alternatives and post-bankruptcy operations,

       Revenue Code, Treasury regulations, case law and other
       relevant US federal, state, and non-US tax authorities, as
       applicable;

  (ii) Understand reorganization and/or restructuring
       alternatives Residential Capital, LLC is evaluating with
       its existing bondholders and other creditors that may
       result in a change in the equity, capitalization and/or
       ownership of the shares of Residential Capital, LLC or its
       assets;

(iii) Advise with respect to the calculations related to
       historical changes in ownership of Residential Capital,
       LLC's equity, including a review of whether the shifts in
       equity ownership may have caused an ownership change that
       will restrict the use of tax attributes and the amount of
       any limitation;

  (iv) Advise with respect to the determination of the amount
       of Residential Capital, LLC's tax attributes, Section 382
       limitation, discharge of indebtedness income, attribute

       of the built-in loss to be recognized during the
       five-year, post-ownership change recognition period based
       on Notice 2003-65. EY LLP will confirm whether Section
       382(1)(5) may be applied to the plan of reorganization
       and, if so, review modeling to determine whether it is
       more advantageous to apply Section 382(1)(5) or elect
       Section 382(1)(6);

   (v) Advise with respect to the analysis related to
       availability, limitations and preservation of tax
       attributes such as net operating losses, tax credits,
       stock and asset basis as a result of the application of
       the federal and state cancellation of indebtedness
       provisions, including the review of calculations to
       determine the amount of tax attributes reduction related
       to debt cancellation income.  EY LLP will also assist with

       making other related elections, such as the election under
       Section 108(b)(5);

       planned or contemplated acquisitions and divestitures,
       including tax return disclosure and presentation;

(vii) Advise with respect to tax analysis and research related
       to tax-efficient domestic restructurings, including review
       of stock basis computations, non-income tax consequences,
       and verifying tax basis of assets and tax basis of
       subsidiary balance sheets for purposes of evaluating
       transactions;

(viii) Advise with respect to the analysis of historical
       returns, tax positions and Residential Capital, LLC
       records for the application of relevant consolidated tax
       return rules to the current transaction, including but not

       loss accounts and other consolidated return issues for
       each legal entity in Residential Capital, LLC's US tax
       group;

       treatment governing the timing and deductibility of
       expenses incurred before and during the bankruptcy period,

RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL: Bondholders Want to File Chapter 11 Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Maria Chutchian of BankruptcyLaw360 reported that a group of
junior secured bondholders on Monday said it is ready to put
together a reorganization plan for Residential Capital LLC, urging
a New York bankruptcy judge to deny the fallen mortgage servicer's
request for more time to file a plan before others can be offered.

According to the report, the ad hoc group, one of the few creditor
groups with allowed claims against ResCap's holding company and
two major operating entities, attacked ResCap's bid for an

                          About RG Steel

RG Steel LLC -- http://www.rg-steel.com/-- is the United States'
fourth-largest flat-rolled steel producer with annual steelmaking
capacity of 7.5 million tons.  It was formed in March 2011
following the purchase of three steel facilities located in

RG Steel along with affiliates, including WP Steel Venture LLC,
sought bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 12-
11661) on May 31, 2012.  Bankruptcy was precipitated by liquidity
shortfall and a dispute with Mountain State Carbon, LLC, and a
Severstal affiliate, that restricted the shipment of coke used in
the steel production process.

The Debtors estimated assets and debts in excess of $1 billion.
As of the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors owe (i) $440 million,
including $16.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, to
senior lenders led by Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as
administrative agent, (ii) $218.7 million to junior lenders, led
by Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, as agent, (iii) $130.5 million
on account of a subordinated promissory note issued by majority
owner The Renco Group, Inc., and (iv) $100 million on a secured
promissory note issued by Severstal.

Judge Kevin J. Carey presides over the case.

ROSELAND VILLAGE: Plan Confirmation Hearing Moved to May 16 & 17
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has
approved the disclosure statement explaining Roseland Village,
LLC, and G.B.S. Holding, Ltd.'s plan of reorganization and
scheduled May 16 and 17, 2013, as the hearing to consider
confirmation of the Plan.

The Debtors' Second Modified Plan contemplates the modification of
existing proffers that are required by the Roseland Village
approved zoning.  After the final approval of the rezoning, the
Debtors will market the entire assemblage or each parcel in order
to obtain the highest and best price that the market will bear.
If the Debtors cannot procure an offer that is acceptable to the
secured creditor that has a lien on a parcel during the marketing
phase, then the Debtors will convey to that creditor title to its
collateral.

A full-text copy of the Debtors' Second Amended Plan dated
March 6, 2013, is available for free at:

         http://bankrupt.com/misc/ROSELANDds0306.pdf

Miller and Smith Advisory Group, LLC, a creditor, has filed a
competing plan of reorganization that proposes to develop Roseland
Village as a single planned community to be funded using a
combination of third-party debt financing and equity financing.

Under the Miller Smith Plan, holders of secured claims has three
options:

   * Secured Claimant Option A: The secured creditor will be paid
     within 30 days of the Project Commencement Date an amount
     equal to 40% of its Allowed Secured Claim.

   * Secured Claimant Option B: Twenty-five percent of its Allowed
     Secured Claim will be waived on the Project Commencement Date
     and will receive no Distributions; (b) the remaining 75% of
     its Allowed Secured Claim will be paid as follows: (i) 25% of
     the Residual Secured Claim will be paid within 30 days of the
     Project Commencement Date; (ii) 75% of the Residual Secured
     Claim will be paid quarterly.

   * Secured Claimant Option C: One hundred percent of its Allowed
     Secured Claim will be paid quarterly, on a Pro Rata basis
     with all other holders of Allowed Secured Claims from funds
     deposited into the Final Development Fund.

Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims will elect one of the
following two options:

   * Unsecured Claimant Option A: The unsecured creditor will
     receive an amount equal to 25% of the claimant's Allowed
     Unsecured Claim, without interest, within 30 days of the
     Project Commencement Date.

   * Unsecured Claimant Option B: The unsecured creditor will
     receive quarterly Pro Rata Distributions from the Final
     Development Fund after the payment in full, with interest.

After the payment in full of all Allowed Administrative Expense
Claims, all Allowed Secured and Unsecured Claims, Insider
Unsecured Claims will receive pro rata distributions, not to
exceed 100% of the Allowed Claims, with interest at the applicable
rate.  Holders of Allowed Equity Interests will retain their
Interests, but will receive no distributions under the Plan.

SAFWAY GROUP: Moody's Rates Proposed $540MM Second Lien Notes B3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service re-established coverage and assigned a
B3 Corporate Family Rating and B3-PD Probability of Default Rating
to Safway Group Holding LLC, a provider of scaffolding and other
services to a myriad of industries including commercial
construction, refining, chemical and power end markets.

Moody's also assigned a B3 rating to the company's proposed $540
million second lien notes. Proceeds from the notes will be used to
refinance existing debt, distribute a dividend to the equity
owners, and pay other related fees and expenses. Odyssey
Investment Partners, through its respective affiliates, owns
Safway. The rating outlook is stable.

The following ratings will be affected by this action:

Corporate Family Rating assigned B3;

Probability of Default Rating assigned B3-PD;

Senior Secured Second-Lien Notes due 2018 assigned B3 (LGD4, 52%).

Rating Rationale:

Safway's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's high
adjusted debt leverage metrics driven by a sizeable debt-financed
dividend. Moody's views the proposed dividend as very sizeable and
aggressive since Safway did not generate any reported GAAP free
cash flow in 2012. According to Moody's projections, adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA will remain elevated at close to 6.0 times for the
next 12 to 18 months (all ratios incorporate Moody's standard
accounting adjustments).

Offsetting Moody's concerns about the company's higher debt burden
are expectations for margin expansion as conditions in the
refining and power sectors, key drivers of Safway's revenues,
improve. Also, Moody's believes that Safway will benefit from its
exposure to the North American commercial construction sector,
which is experiencing a modest rebound. Improving operating
efficiencies and branch consolidation will aid in better margins
as well. Pro forma adjusted interest coverage -- defined as
(EBITDA-CAPEX)-to-interest expense -- for the 12 months ended
December 31, 2012 remains relatively unchanged at approximately
1.2 times despite higher levels of balance sheet debt, as Moody's
anticipates a lower interest rate for the Notes due 2018 relative
to that for Safway's current Notes due 2017. Furthermore, ample
availability under the company's proposed asset-based revolving
credit facility and lack of near-term maturities are key credit
strengths as well.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's view that Safway's
credit metrics will improve as it continues to leverage its scale
and market position to compete for industrial maintenance and
turnaround projects and as the North American construction sector
continues to strengthen.

The B3 rating assigned to company's $540 million Second Lien
Senior Secured Notes due 2018, the same rating as the corporate
family rating, reflects its position as structurally subordinated
to the company's revolving credit facility. The Notes are secured
by a second lien upon substantially all of Safway's assets,
putting it in a first-loss position relative to the company's
revolver.

Positive rating actions could ensue if Safway achieves sustainable
operational improvement and demonstrates that it can generate
significant levels of operating earnings and free cash flow.
(EBITDA - CAPEX)-to-interest expense sustained above 2.0 times or
debt-to-EBITDA trending towards 5.25 times (all ratios adjusted
per Moody's standard adjustments) could result in positive rating
actions.

The ratings may be downgraded if the company fails to meet Moody's
expectations for improvement in debt leverage, with adjusted debt-
to-EBITDA sustained above 6.5 times. Adjusted (EBITDA-Capex)-to-
interest expense below 1.0 times could also pressure the ratings.
In addition, if the company pursues further dividends or large
debt-financed acquisitions that do not prove sufficiently
accretive relative to incremental debt, negative rating actions
may be taken. A deteriorating liquidity profile could pressure the
ratings as well.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Business and Consumer Services 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.

Safway Group Holding LLC is a North American provider of work
access with a growing presence in specialty services. Safway
provides scaffolding and other services for the commercial
construction end market including the maintenance and renovation
of commercial and multi-family buildings. It also provides
scaffolding, insulation, coatings and other services supporting
the refining, chemical and power industries. Odyssey Investment
Partners, through its respective affiliates, owns the company.
Revenues for the 12 months ended December 31, 2012 totaled about
$940 million.


SANTA ROSA BAY: Fitch Affirms & Withdraws 'D' Revenue Bonds Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings affirms and withdraws its 'D' rating on Santa Rosa
Bay Bridge Authority's, FL (the authority) approximately $125
million in outstanding revenue bonds, series 1996. This rating is
withdrawn as it is no longer considered analytically meaningful.

Fitch previously downgraded the bonds to 'D' from 'C' on July 1,
2011 as a result of a debt service payment default. For additional
information, please see Fitch's press releases dated July 1, 2011
and June 21, 2012, available at 'www.fitchratings.com'.

KEY RATING DRIVERS:

Ongoing Events of Default: Stemming from continued poor traffic
and revenue performance, the authority's financial profile is
extremely constrained leading to insufficient cash flow from
operations to meet debt service obligations.

The authority depleted its debt service reserve fund in March
2012. Full scheduled debt service payments from July 1, 2011,
Jan. 1, 2012, July 1, 2012, and Jan. 1, 2013 remain unpaid and it
currently appears gross revenues will be insufficient to pay
scheduled debt service on the bonds for the foreseeable future.

As of Jan. 1, 2013, the trustee, Bank of New York Mellon, declared
the principal of the outstanding bonds ($131.2 million) to be due
and payable immediately. While only $6.12 million was distributed
for principal, the trustee expects to make periodic distributions
of revenues in the future.

SECURITY:

The bonds are secured by the pledge of gross revenues of the
authority. Moneys paid by Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) under the lease purchase agreement are not included in the
gross revenues.

CREDIT UPDATE:

The authority's revenue generating asset is the Garcon Point
Bridge, which traverses the Pensacola Bay from Garcon Point on the
mainland to the Gulf Breeze Peninsula to the south. The toll
facility extends from US 98 to the south to I-10 to the north,
covering approximately 12 miles.

Although toll revenues increased by 1.7% in fiscal 2011 (due to
the fourth scheduled toll increase since the first in July 2001),
cash flow from operations were insufficient to cover all debt
service costs and the authority had its first debt service payment
default on July 1, 2011 when the required $5 million principal and
interest payment was not made.

Traffic has been considerably lower than the original plan of
finance, with the authority's initial 1996 forecast projecting
3.79 million transactions in fiscal 2012 (ended June 30) versus
actual performance of 1.29 million, approximately 34% of
originally forecasted levels.

In fiscal 2012, traffic and revenues grew approximately 3% and 8%,
respectively over fiscal 2011. The improved performance can be
attributed to traffic recovery post Gulf Oil Spill and the full
year effect of the January 2011 rate increase. Additional toll
increases may be implemented at the recommendation of a traffic
consultant and were previously contemplated for 2014 and 2017;
however, the authority is currently without a consultant so future
increases are unknown at this time. Materially improved
performance beyond this point is unlikely due to the bonds'
escalating debt profile and current level of traffic. Two free
alternative routes (Pensacola Bay Bridge/US 98 to West, and State
Route 87 to the East) are currently being expanded from two lanes
to four and will increasingly limit any remaining ratemaking
flexibility.


SCHLOTZSKY'S INC: 5th Cir. Says Wooleys Lack Standing to Sue
------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that John
and Jeffrey J. Wooley lack standing to pursue post-confirmation
causes of action on behalf of SI Restructuring Incorporated, et
al.

SI Restructuring, Inc., fka Schlotzsky's Inc. and certain
affiliates, filed for bankruptcy protection in August 2004.
Haynes and Boone LLP was retained as counsel and in December 2004,
the Debtors sold substantially all of their assets.  A Chapter 11
Plan in the Debtors' cases was approved in April 2006.  The
Wooleys are creditors of the Debtors.

On December 24, 2008, the Wooleys filed a motion seeking
bankruptcy court authority to pursue actions on behalf of the
Debtors, specifically against Haynes and Boone and certain of the
Debtors' directors.  The bankruptcy court denied the request, and
the district court affirmed.

On appeal, the Fifth Circuit upheld the district court decision.
"The Plan did not specifically reserve the state law claims the
Wooleys now wish to assert.  Without this specific reservation,
the Plan Administrator -- and, by extension, the Wooleys -- lack
standing to pursue the proposed claims.  Thus, the claims are not
colorable, and the bankruptcy court did not err in denying the
Wooleys' motion to pursue causes of action on behalf of the
Debtors."

The appeals case is JOHN C. WOOLEY; JEFFREY J. WOOLEY, Appellants,
v. HAYNES & BOONE, L.L.P.; SAM COATS; PIKE POWERS; JOHN SHARP;
SARAH WEDDINGTON; GARY M. CADENHEAD, Appellees, Case No. 11-51106
(5th Cir.).

SINCLAIR BROADCAST: Reports $16.8 Million Net Income in Q1
----------------------------------------------------------
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., reported net income of $16.87
million on $282.61 million of total revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2013, as compared with net income of $29.07
million on $222.37 million of total revenues for the same period
during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $2.73
billion in total assets, $2.83 billion in total liabilities and a
$97.28 million total stockholders' deficit.

"2013 is off to a solid start with $2.5 million of incremental
Super Bowl revenues in the first quarter, increased ad spending by
our largest advertising category of automotive, and a very good
February ratings book that highlighted the importance and
popularity of local news," commented David Smith, president and
CEO of Sinclair.  "The market for television stations remains
robust, and we are pleased that we have been able to obtain
quality assets at accretive prices.  We are excited the Barrington
Broadcasting, Fisher Communications and certain of the COX Media
Group stations will soon be joining us.  We intend to continue
analyzing and evaluating opportunities to acquire additional
television station assets towards creating greater scale for our
operations and value for our shareholders."

                      About Sinclair Broadcast

Based in Baltimore, Maryland, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SBGI) -- http://www.sbgi.net/-- one of the largest and
most diversified television broadcasting companies, currently owns
and operates, programs or provides sales services to 58 television
stations in 35 markets.  The Company's television group reaches
roughly 22% of U.S. television households and includes FOX,
ABC, CBS, NBC, MNT, and CW affiliates.

"Any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding relating to Cunningham,
one of our LMA partners, would cause a default and potential
acceleration under the Bank Credit Agreement and could,
potentially, result in Cunningham's rejection of our seven LMAs
with Cunningham, which would negatively affect our financial
condition and results of operations," the Company said in its
annual report for the period ended Dec. 31, 2012.

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Feb. 24, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Hunt Valley, Md.-
based TV broadcaster Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. to 'BB-' from
'B+'.  The rating outlook is stable.  "The 'BB-' rating on
Sinclair reflects S&P's expectation that the company could keep
its lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA below historical levels
throughout the election cycle, absent a reversal of economic
growth, meaningful debt-financed acquisitions, or significant
shareholder-favoring measures," explained Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Deborah Kinzer.

In September 2010, Moody's raised its ratings for Sinclair
Broadcast and subsidiary Sinclair Television Group, Inc.,
including the Corporate Family Rating and Probability-of-Default
Rating, each to Ba3 from B1, and the ratings for individual debt
instruments.  Moody's also assigned a B2 (LGD 5, 87%) rating to
the proposed $250 million issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes due
2018 by STG.  The Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating remains
unchanged at SGL-2.  The rating outlook is now stable.


TEXAS LEADERSHIP: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating to Revenue Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' long-term
rating to Tom Green County Cultural Education Facilities Finance
Corp., Texas' tax-exempt series 2013Q (direct pay qualified school
construction bonds, or QSCBs), tax-exempt series 2013A, and
taxable 2013B education revenue bonds issued on behalf of the
Texas Leadership Charter Academy (TLCA).  The outlook is stable.

"The 'BB+' rating reflects S&P's view of TLCA's historically
acceptable operating results and light but stable liquidity
relative to outstanding and pro forma debt," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Brian Marshall.

The series 2013 bond proceeds will be used to purchase and
renovate a new academic building on TLCA's new campus as well as
renovate and improve existing facilities, and cash fund a debt
service reserve fund equal to maximum annual debt service.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's anticipation that during the
next 12 to 24 months the school will meet its enrollment and cash
flow projections.

UNIT CORP: Fitch Affirms 'BB' IDR & Revises Outlook to Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the following ratings of Unit
Corporation and revised the Rating Outlook to Stable from
Negative:

-- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BB';
-- Senior Unsecured Debt at 'BB';
-- Senior Subordinated Debt at 'BB-'.

KEY RATINGS DRIVERS

Fitch's ratings largely consider UNT's conservative financial
policies and its record of managing its capital intensive reserve
growth program to the company's financial means. The ratings also
highlight the company's financial resiliency to stressed commodity
prices.

During 2012 UNT successfully absorbed the financial stress of a
major acquisition in a poor year for natural gas prices, while
still managing to replace 118% of its production organically.

UNT purchased 83,000 net acres in the Mid-Continent area of the
U.S., plus four gas gathering systems from Noble Energy Inc. for
$592.6 million. To pay for the acquisition, UNT re-opened its sole
public debt issue, 6.625% senior subordinated notes due 2021, and
sold an additional $400 million. The company cut back on its
capital expenditure budget for the year and reduced negative free
cash flow (FCF) to negative $71.5 million. It also sold non-
operated properties in the Bakken play for $227 million and non-
core properties in Texas for $44 million to limit borrowings.

UNT had hedged approximately 68% of its average daily oil
production and 37% of its average daily gas production for 2012.
Nonetheless, average gas realizations fell 21% from the prior year
while the realizations for liquids fell 28%, 33% and 31%,
respectively, without the gas and liquids' hedges. Oil price
realizations rose 6%. In combination UNT lost $37 million from the
revenue line attributable to energy prices but recaptured $91
million from a 17.6% increase in production. E&P EBITDA increased
almost 9% year over year while operating profits moved to a $77
million loss due to non-cash ceiling-test write-downs of oil and
gas reserves.

UNT's gas gathering and processing operations also suffered
because of the decline in energy prices, and EBITDA fell 5.4%
while contract drilling operations booked an 8.6% improvement in
EBITDA owing to higher rig dayrates amid lagging drilling
activity. These latter two business units account for 41% of UNT's
consolidated EBITDA.

For the year, consolidated EBITDA rose 9% to $657 million, debt
increased $416 million, and debt/EBITDA increased to 1.09x from
0.50x at the end of the prior year, still favorable when compared
to peers. Assigning all debt to only the E&P operations, debt per
flowing barrel was $18,375 and $6.09/mboe of total proved
reserves.

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Fitch does not believe that 2013 will be a boon year for the E&P
sector, but will be better for UNT than last year. The relatively
long winter has supported higher natural gas prices, further
supported by the substitution of natural gas for coal by electric
utilities. Cash flow should improve on price alone, but
significant changes in UNT's leverage are not expected. UNT is
forecasting an increase in oil and gas production of 13% to 16%
but with a 6% increase in its capital budget. FCF for the year is
again expected to be modestly negative. The company is targeting
to hedge 50% to 70% of oil and gas production for 2013. With those
hedge and operating assumptions superimposed on Fitch's current
Base Case price deck (gas - $3.50/mcf, oil - $85/WTI bbl.),
leverage would not exceed 1.21x, and liquidity would still offer
significant coverage of a further decline in energy prices.

STRONG LIQUIDITY/DEBT LIMITATIONS

UNT's backstop liquidity is highly adequate. Its unsecured $500
million revolver (which can be expanded and which matures in 2016)
is governed by an $800 million borrowing base which is re-
determined semiannually by the lending group. Material
subsidiaries guarantee the revolver as well as UNT's senior
subordinated 6.625% notes issue. Specific financial tests within
the revolver include a minimum current ratio of 1.0:1.0 and a
maximum long-term debt/EBITDA ratio of 4.0:1.0. At last year-end,
$71.1 million was drawn under the revolver.

UNT's senior subordinated notes also limit the incurrence of
additional debt and 'restricted payments' by an EBITDA/interest
incurrence test of 2.25x for so long as the notes are not rated
'investment grade.'

RATING SENSITIVITIES

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

-- Positive FCF with continued production and reserve growth;

-- Continued diversification into liquids-rich hydrocarbons.

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

-- Debt/EBITDA substantially increasing beyond the company's
    stated limits of 1.50:1.00;

-- Inability to replace reserves over a consecutive three-year
    period;

-- Event-driven activity leading to substantially higher
    leverage.


US MORTGAGE: NJ Court Narrows Claims v. Vining Sparks, Newbridge
----------------------------------------------------------------
Before the New Jersey Bankruptcy Court are motions of defendants
Vining Sparks IBG, L.P. and Newbridge Securities Corp., each of
whom filed a Motion to Dismiss two separate adversary complaints
commenced by Edward P. Bond, as liquidating trustee for debtors
U.S. Mortgage Corp. and CU National Mortgage.  Also before the
Court in the adversary complaint against Vining Sparks is the
Trustee's Application in Support of Cross-Motion for an Order
Authorizing the Liquidating Trustee to File an Amended Complaint.

The adversary complaints are EDWARD BOND, Liquidating Trustee
Plaintiff v. VINING SPARKS, Defendant and EDWARD BOND, Liquidating
Trustee Plaintiff v. NEWBRIDGE SECURITIES CORP., Defendant, Adv.
No. 11-1212(RG), 11-1218(RG), (Bankr. D. N.J.).  The Trustee
asserts that Michael J. McGrath, the Debtors' president, caused
the Debtors to engage in fraudulent practices on a massive scale.
The complaints allege Mr. McGrath invested funds belonging to the
Debtors with the Defendants; and that certain "transfers" were
made "to purchase securities, to reimburse the Defendants for
securities previously purchase, or to pay the Defendant
commissions."

As to Newbridge Securities' Motion to Dismiss, Judge Rosemary
Gambardella dismissed Counts III (Constructive Fraudulent
Transfers), IV (Civil Conspiracy), V (Aiding and Abetting Civil
Conspiracy and Fraud), and VI (Conversion) pursuant to the safe
harbor provision of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 546(a).  The Court however
denied the Motion to Dismiss as to Count I (Accounting) and Count
II (Intentional Fraudulent Transfers).  Finally, to the extent the
Trustee has clarified that he is seeking recovery of only one
transfer -- a $1 million transfer -- the Trustee is granted leave
to file a scond amended complaint within 30 days from the date of
its Opinion.

As to Vining Sparks' Motion to Dismiss, the Court ruled that
Count II (Preference Claims), Counts IV (Civil Conspiracy),
V (Aiding and Abetting Civil Conspiracy and Fraud), and
VI (Conversion) must be dismissed.  Vining Sparks, the Court
notes, has not demonstrated that Count III (Intentional Fraud
Claim) must be dismissed.  The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss
as to Count I (Accounting).

Judge Gambardella ruled that the Transfers fall within the meaning
of "settlement payments" as defined by the Bankruptcy Code and
Third Circuit case law.  The judge further ruled that the
Trustee's Cross-Motion to file an amended complaint must be
granted.  The Trustee however must meet the heightened pleading
requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 9(b) with respect
to the claim for Intentional Fraudulent Transfers, the judge said.
"More precision shall be injected into the amended complaint by
setting forth the specific individual transfers at issue here,
including the dates of the transfers."

VISANT HOLDING: S&P Lowers CCR to 'B' on Weak Operating Trends
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it lowered its
corporate credit rating on Armonk, N.Y.-based Visant Holding Corp.
to 'B' from 'B+'.  The outlook is negative.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level ratings on Visant's
senior secured credit facilities to 'B+' from 'BB-'.  The '2'
recovery rating remains unchanged and indicates S&P's expectation
of substantial (70%-90%) recovery in the event of payment default.

Finally, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on Visant's senior
unsecured notes to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The '6' recovery rating
remains unchanged and indicates S&P's expectation for negligible
recovery (0%-10%).

"The downgrade to 'B' reflects our expectation that Visant's
ongoing unfavorable revenue trends will continue to pressure
EBITDA and discretionary cash flow, and drive leverage higher,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christopher Thompson. We
continue to assess Visant's business risk profile as "fair," given
the good market position and slightly better operating EBITDA
margin compared with its principal competitor, American
Achievement.  We view Visant's financial risk profile as "highly
leveraged" because of its high debt level and an aggressive
financial policy, demonstrated by a large, special dividend in
2010.  Our management and governance assessment of the company is
"fair".

Visant publishes school yearbooks and manufactures and sells
school class rings along with other graduation-related
merchandise, together known as "school affinity products."  The
company also has a marketing and publishing business that serves
the consumer product and publishing sectors.  The school affinity
product market is a mature business with relatively high barriers
to entry.  Visant has a strong competitive position in this niche
business because of its existing relationships with customers and
strong product offerings.  Historically these strengths, along
with effective cost management, resulted in Visant having an
EBITDA margin about four percentage points higher than its key
competitor.  However, recent performance has led to Visant's
margin advantage compressing by roughly two percentage points.  A
major portion of Visant's revenues and EBITDA are seasonal and
highly dependent on the North American academic cycle.  Because of
the discretionary nature of purchases, Visant's operations are
vulnerable to weakness in the economy and gold price spikes, which
together have caused consumers to shift to lower-priced metals for
jewelry and affinity products and have pressured revenues of late.

S&P's rating outlook on Visant is negative, based on its view that
credit metrics could deteriorate further in the near term due to
weak revenue and EBITDA.  S&P could lower the rating if it become
convinced that persistent EBITDA declines will lead to adjusted
debt leverage above 8x on a sustained basis or if covenant
headroom drops to below 10%.  S&P could also lower the rating if a
structural demand shift becomes apparent that makes it less
comfortable with the company's business prospects and suggests
further deterioration of credit measures.

S&P would likely revise the outlook to stable if the company
demonstrates a favorable reversal of recent operating trends that
results in sustained lower leverage.  A revision to stable would
likely also entail the company using excess cash largely for debt
repayment.


W.R. GRACE: Seeks to Sell Property to Gap VI for $13.1-Mil.
-----------------------------------------------------------
W.R. Grace & Co.-Conn. and its debtor affiliates filed a motion
seeking approval from Bankruptcy Judge Judith Fitzgerald in
Delaware to sell a parcel of real property to GAP VI Properties
LLC.  The company is planning to sell its 66.8 acres of unused
land in Columbia, Maryland.  The property is adjacent to the
northwest boundary of Grace's corporate headquarters.

Grace, along with Cushman & Wakefield Inc., began marketing the
property in early 2009 but it was only in 2012 that the company
received viable offers after it decided to have the property
rezoned for residential or commercial use.

GAP VI offered to buy the property for a base price of $13.1
million.  Grace will receive additional payment if the buyer gets
governmental approval to build residential units on the property.

Meanwhile, Cushman will be compensated 3% of the base purchase
price or $393,000 for its services, according to court filings.

A copy of the sale agreement is available without charge at
http://is.gd/whDywD

Grace said GAP VI made the best offer, and it is confident that
the buyer can successfully rezone the property and get all
necessary approvals to develop the property.

A court hearing to consider approval of the sale is scheduled for
May 20.  Objections are due by May 3.

W.R. GRACE: $18.9-Mil. Incentive Plan for 2013 Approved
-------------------------------------------------------
W.R. Grace & Co. received the green light from Judge Judith
Fitzgerald to implement a long-term incentive plan for employees
for the year 2013 that would cost $18.9 million, if targets are
met.

The company also obtained court approval to grant common stock to
its directors in accordance with an updated annual retainer plan
for directors.

The 2013 incentive plan consists of grants of options to purchase
Grace's common stock, and performance units that provide
opportunities to receive cash awards to be paid in early 2016, as
determined by the company's financial performance over the three
year period from January 1, 2013 until December 31, 2015.

Separately, a Bloomberg News reported that Grace may soon be in a
position to exit bankruptcy as the bank lenders' appeal of
confirmation orders will be argued next month in the U.S. Court
of Appeals in Philadelphia.

The plan, which was confirmed by the bankruptcy and district
courts, can't be implemented because pre-bankruptcy secured bank
lenders filed an appeal.  Arguments will be held on June 17 in
the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.

The banks argue on appeal that they are entitled to $185 million
in interest on their claims because shareholders are retaining
stock worth $4.9 billion. Banks filing the appeal include Bank of
America NA, Barclays Bank Plc and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA.

W.R. GRACE: Wins Approval of Markel Settlement
----------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved a
settlement of claims between W.R. Grace & Co. and Markel
International Insurance Co. Ltd.

The claims stem from a three-year excess liability insurance
policy that provided insurance coverage to W. R. Grace.  Markel's
remaining coverage obligation under the policy is $1.027 million.

Under the deal, Markel will make a lump sum payment of $914,201 to
the company.  The settlement amount will be held by W.R. Grace for
the benefit of a trust created to pay asbestos-related claims.

The agreement also includes a mutual release of all claims between
the companies under the insurance policy.

WEST CORP: Reports $3 Million Net Income in First Quarter
---------------------------------------------------------
West Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing net income
of $3.05 million on $660.22 million of revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2013, as compared with net income of $34.04
million on $639.06 million of revenue for the same period during
the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2013, showed $3.94
billion in total assets, $4.79 billion in total liabilities and a
$850.15 million total stockholders' deficit.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

"At March 31, 2013, our aggregate long-term indebtedness,
including the current portion, was $4,057.6 million.  During the
three months ended March 31, 2013 our consolidated interest
expense was approximately $72.9 million.  Our ability to make
scheduled payments or to refinance our debt obligations and to
fund our other liquidity needs depends on our financial and
operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and
competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and
other factors beyond our control.  We cannot make assurances that
we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities
sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and
interest on our indebtedness and to fund our other liquidity
needs.  If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient
to fund our debt service obligations and to fund our other
liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital
expenditures or declared dividends, sell assets or operations,
seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our
indebtedness.  We cannot make assurances that we would be able to
take any of these actions, that these actions would be successful

indentures that govern the notes restrict our ability to dispose
of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition.  As a result,
we may not be able to consummate those dispositions or use the
proceeds to meet our debt service or other obligations, and any
proceeds that are available may not be adequate to meet any debt
service or other obligations then due.  If we cannot make
scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default of such debt

West Corp. carries a 'B2' corporate rating from Moody's and 'B+'
corporate rating from Standard & Poor's.

Moody's Investors Service upgraded the ratings on West
Corporation's existing senior secured term loan to Ba3 from B1 and
the rating on $650 million of existing senior notes due 2014 to B3
from Caa1 upon the closing of its recent refinancing transactions.
Concurrently, Moody's affirmed all other credit ratings including
the B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2 Probability of Default
Rating.  The rating outlook is stable.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned Omaha, Neb.-based
business process outsourcer West Corp.'s proposed $650 million
senior unsecured notes due 2019 its 'B' issue-level rating (one
notch lower than the 'B+' corporate credit rating on the company).
The recovery rating on this debt is '5', indicating S&P's
expectation of modest (10% to 30%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.  The company will use proceeds from the proposed
transaction and some cash on the balance sheet to redeem its
$650 million 9.5% senior notes due 2014.

As reported by the TCR on March 21, 2013, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services placed its 'B+' corporate credit rating on Omaha,
Neb.-based business process outsourcer West Corp., along with all
issue-level ratings on the company's debt, on CreditWatch with
positive implications.  The CreditWatch placement is based on West
Corp.'s announcement that it will raise about $500 million through
an initial public offering and use most of the proceeds to repay
debt.  Pro forma for the debt repayment, lease-adjusted leverage
is 5.3x, compared with 5.9x at Dec. 31, 2012.


WEST CORP: Supplements 2013 Earnings Per Share Guidance
-------------------------------------------------------
West Corporation reported its first quarter 2013 earnings on
Thursday, April 25, 2013.  Included with that release was an
update to the Company's 2013 full year guidance.

In the April 25, 2013, release, for purposes of 2013 per share
guidance, the Company determined the reasonable approximation of
the weighted average number of shares outstanding by using the
quarterly average of the shares outstanding.  This quarterly
average methodology was the historical methodology used by the
Company prior to the completion of its initial public offering and
is consistent with the Company's audited financial statements
through Dec. 31, 2012.  After receiving questions from
shareholders and analysts on the 2013 earnings per share guidance,
the Company has determined to supplement the presentation of the
2013 earnings per share guidance to show a daily share count
weighted average based upon the share count for each trading day
during the period.  The daily weighted average method is
consistent with the presentation used in the Company's Form 10-Q
filed April 29, 2013, and to be used in future periods.  The
supplemental presentation does not affect the Company's reported
results, the announced dividend or guidance with respect to
expected financial results, including but not limited to the
expected earnings.  It does, however, impact the per share
calculations for the 2013 guidance.  Based upon the daily weighted
average method, the forecasted share count for 2013 would change
from approximately 76.8 million to approximately 80.3 million.

In addition, in the April 25th press release, the Company used
76.8 million average shares outstanding for the full year when
calculating the reported Pro forma Adjusted Earnings per Share ?
Diluted in its 2013 guidance table.  The denominator should have
been the pro forma shares outstanding of approximately 84.9
million included in the pro forma Adjusted Net Income and pro
forma Adjusted EPS Reconciliation table included in the April 25th
press release.

The resulting impact on the per share calculations are presented
below.

         Effect of Share Count Methodology on 2013 Guidance

                                        4/25 Release   As Modified
                                        ------------   -----------
Adjusted Earnings per Share - Diluted   $2.87-$3.02    $2.74-$2.89
Pro Forma Adjusted EPS - Diluted        $3.09-$3.24    $2.79-$2.93

WEST PENN: S&P Lowers Rating on Series 2007A Bonds to 'D'
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating to 'D' from
'CC' on series 2007A bonds issued for West Penn Allegheny Health
System (WPAHS) by the Allegheny County Hospital Development
Authority, Pa.

"The rating action reflects the expiration of a tender offer and
consent solicitation related to the purchase of WPAHS' series
2007A outstanding bonds by Highmark Inc., which is now doing
business as Highmark Health Services," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Cynthia Keller.  "The offer expired on April 26,
2013."  According to S&P's criteria and ratings definitions, an
issue rating is lowered to 'D' on completion of a distressed
exchange offer whereby some or all of an issue is replaced for an
amount of cash having a total value that is less than par.

Pursuant to the tender offer, Highmark Health Services paid
bondholders $875 for each $1,000 of bonds tendered.  According to
Highmark Health Services, bondholders tendered $604 million of
bonds or 85% of all series 2007A bonds outstanding and also
consented to amendments in the governing bond documents, including
the elimination of certain restrictive covenants.  The tender and
other agreements were completed as part of the WPAHS affiliation
with UPE (now doing business as Highmark - the new parent company
of Highmark Health Services), which was approved by the
Pennsylvania Department of Insurance and closed earlier.

WPAHS is now part of, the Allegheny Health Network, the provider
subsidiary of Highmark, and operates five acute-care hospitals in
and around Pittsburgh: Allegheny General Hospital, West Penn
Hospital (WPH), the Forbes Regional campus of WPH, Canonsburg
General Hospital, and Alle-Kiski Medical Center doing business as
Allegheny Valley Hospital.


* BofA Seeks to Toss DOJ's $1-Billion Faulty Mortgage Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
Patricia Hurtado, writing for Bloomberg News, reported that Bank
of America Corp. asked a federal judge to dismiss a $1 billion
fraud lawsuit filed by the U.S. alleging it sold defective
residential mortgage loans to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that
defaulted.

According to the Bloomberg report, the Justice Department filed
the complaint last year claiming the bank and its Countrywide
Financial unit generated thousands of defective loans and sold
them to the two home- mortgage finance companies now under
government control.

Bloomberg related that to boost revenue in the tightening credit
market in mid-2007, Countrywide sold the loans to boost revenue,
according to the complaint. The program was called "HSSL," or the
"Hustle."

Bank of America, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, argued the
suit was based on a single alleged factual scenario and fails to
state a claim, Bloomberg said.

"The amended complaint has no basis in law and should be
dismissed," Kannon Shanmugam, a partner at Williams & Connolly,
said in court, according to Bloomberg.

Bloomberg related that the suit, which covers conduct from 2007 to
2009, is the first by the Justice Department to allege fraud over
mortgage loans sold to the two entities, U.S. Attorney Preet
Bharara in Manhattan said in a statement when it was filed.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac losses totaled more than $1 billion,
Bharara told Bloomberg.  The Justice Department's complaint was
brought under the federal False Claims Act, which allows for
triple damages.

Bank of America, which acquired Countrywide in 2008, was among 17
financial institutions sued in September 2011 by Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac's regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, over
losses on mortgage securities sold to the companies, the report
noted.

The case is U.S. v. Bank of America Corp. (BAC), U.S. District
Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).


* Moody's Sees Modest Growth for US Apparel Sector This Year
------------------------------------------------------------
The outlook for the US apparel industry remains stable, Moody's
Investors Service says in a new report. The stable outlook
reflects moderating growth in operating income, modest growth in
apparel sales and the likelihood of higher input costs over the
next 12 to 18 months.

"We expect operating income growth for US apparel makers to slow
to 3%-5% this year and 2%-4% in 2014," says Scott Tuhy, Vice
President -- Senior Credit Officer in "US Apparel Industry
Earnings Growth Likely to Slow." "Most of this growth has already
occurred thanks to lower input costs in the first quarter of 2013,
which should help gross margin expansion, but this is not expected
to continue given that the benefits of particularly lower cotton
prices have by now been fully realized."

The benefits of low cotton costs were significant, Tuhy says.
Cotton sold for more than $2 per pound in mid-2011, but by late
2011 had fallen to less than $1 a pound and during 2012 approached
the low $0.60 cent range. Moody's-rated clothing companies' gross
margins expanded by nearly 140 basis points during this time. In
the past quarter, however, cotton prices have begun to rise and,
combined with higher freight and labor costs, this suggests
moderate input cost inflation later this year and early next.

Overall, Moody's expects modest, low-single-digit inflation from
late 2013 into 2014. And while apparel companies should be able to
manage moderate price increases, Tuhy says, they will need to be
disciplined on inventory to balance any pushback from consumers.

Moody's now expects US apparel sales to grow 2%-4% over the next
12 to 18 months, compared with its forecast of 3%-5% for overall
US retail sales. The change reflects the rating agency's view that
discretionary products will come under pressure due to consumer
spending constraints related to the expiration of the Social
Security payroll tax holiday. In addition, the euro area, which is
a significant market for US clothing companies, is likely to see
flat sales growth in the next one to two years.

But emerging market economies offer US apparel makers
opportunities for growth. Even while the overall global economy
remains soft, pockets of strength in places such as Latin America,
Eastern Europe and China remain positive for the sector, Tuhy
says. "While emerging markets still account for only a small
portion of sales, we expect US apparel makers to keep investing in
them, and those with well-known global brand names and
sophisticated supply chains are best positioned to benefit."


* Moody's Says Sequestration Impact Looms on US Defense Companies
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The steady operating performance of large prime US defense
contractors masks the coming impact of sequestration, Moody's
Investors Service says in a new report. Margin pressure will
worsen as mature defense programs wind down; companies enter into
new contracts and more work transitions from production to
development.

"In their first quarterly results after the 1 March sequestration
trigger date, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop
Grumman and Raytheon combined posted a relatively modest 2% drop
in revenue, flat operating profits and a 30 basis point uptick in
margin from a year earlier," says Senior Vice President Russell
Solomon in "Prime Contractors' Resilient Earnings Belie
Sequestration Impact to Come." "But as the brunt of sequestration-
related cuts take hold later in the year, we expect sales declines
to accelerate and margins to come under greater pressure in the
second half of 2013 and, even more so, in 2014."

Moody's expected the near-term impact of sequestration on the
defense industry to be fairly muted, particularly for the large
prime contractors, Solomon says. These companies are for the
moment protected by their long-lived big weapons programs, for
which near-term funding is mostly already under contract. Delayed
implementation of sequestration and the lag between budget cuts
and actual spending reductions will also help delay the effects of
sequestration on operating results.

But many smaller, more narrowly focused defense companies with
shorter-cycle, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ),
service-oriented contracts are already seeing more noteworthy
adverse effects, reinforcing Moody's view that financial pressures
on the overall US defense sector will increase later this year.

In the meantime, fiscal constraint and pre-emptive cost-reduction
measures appear to have been well timed, with cash reserves
benefiting from solid free cash flow, Solomon says. As a result,
defense companies may face growing demands from shareholders to
increase returns. "We are already noting calls for increased share
repurchases and dividend pay-outs, but given mounting fiscal
pressures we will remain watchful for more aggressive fiscal
posturing and cautious of defense contractors' acceptance of
greater financial risk."


* CoreLogic Reports 55,000 Completed Foreclosures in March
----------------------------------------------------------
CoreLogic on April 30 released its March National Foreclosure
Report which provides data on completed U.S. foreclosures and the
national foreclosure inventory.  According to CoreLogic, there
were 55,000 completed foreclosures in the U.S. in March 2013, down
from 66,000 in March 2012, a year-over-year decrease of 16
percent.  On a month-over-month basis, completed foreclosures rose
from 52,000* in February 2013 to the March level of 55,000, an
increase of 6 percent.

As a basis of comparison, prior to the decline in the housing
market in 2007, completed foreclosures averaged 21,000 per month
nationwide between 2000 and 2006.  Completed foreclosures are an
indication of the total number of homes actually lost to
foreclosure.  Since the financial crisis began in September 2008,
there have been approximately 4.2 million completed foreclosures
across the country.

Approximately 1.1 million homes in the U.S. were in some stage of
foreclosure, known as the foreclosure inventory, as of March 2013
compared to 1.5 million in March 2012, a year-over-year decrease
of 23 percent.  Month over month, the foreclosure inventory was
down 1.9 percent from February 2013 to March 2013.  The
foreclosure inventory as of March 2013 represented 2.8 percent of
all homes with a mortgage compared to 3.5 percent in February
2013.

"In March, completed foreclosures were down 52 percent from the
peak in 2010, and almost all of the top 100 major metropolitan
areas have declining foreclosure rates," said Dr. Mark Fleming,
chief economist for CoreLogic.  "The foreclosure rate nationally
is down 23 percent relative to a year ago, signaling continued
reduction in the stock of distressed assets."

"For 17 consecutive months, foreclosures have declined year over
year across the U.S," said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of
CoreLogic.  "Although we still have more than a million homes in
some stage of foreclosure, this trend, combined with rising home
prices, is another signal of a gradually improving housing
market."

Highlights as of March 2013:

-- The five states with the highest number of completed
foreclosures for the 12 months ending in March 2013 were: Florida
(103,000), California (83,000), Michigan (70,000), Texas (53,000)
and Georgia (48,000).  These five states account for almost half
of all completed foreclosures nationally.

-- The five states with the lowest number of completed
foreclosures for the 12 months ending in March 2013 were: South
Dakota (81), District of Columbia (101), Hawaii (421), North
Dakota (487) and West Virginia (554).

Methodology The data in this report represents foreclosure
activity reported through March 2013.

This report separates state data into judicial vs. non-judicial
foreclosure state categories.  In judicial foreclosure states,
lenders must provide evidence to the courts of delinquency in
order to move a borrower into foreclosure.  In non-judicial
foreclosure states, lenders can issue notices of default directly
to the borrower without court intervention.  This is an important
distinction since judicial states, as a rule, have longer
foreclosure timelines, thus affecting foreclosure statistics.

A completed foreclosure occurs when a property is auctioned and
results in the purchase of the home at auction by either a third
party, such as an investor, or by the lender.  If the home is
purchased by the lender, it is moved into the lender's real estate
owned (REO) inventory.  In "foreclosure by advertisement" states,
a redemption period begins after the auction and runs for a
statutory period, e.g., six months.  During that period, the
borrower may regain the foreclosed home by paying all amounts due
as calculated under the statute.  For purposes of this Foreclosure
Report, because so few homes are actually redeemed following an
auction, it is assumed that the foreclosure process ends in
"foreclosure by advertisement" states at the completion of the
auction.

The foreclosure inventory represents the number and share of
mortgaged homes that have been placed into the process of
foreclosure by the mortgage servicer.  Mortgage servicers start
the foreclosure process when the mortgage reaches a specific level
of serious delinquency as dictated by the investor for the
mortgage loan.  Once a foreclosure is "started," and absent the
borrower paying all amounts necessary to halt the foreclosure, the
home remains in foreclosure until the completed foreclosure
results in the sale to a third party at auction or the home enters
the lender's REO inventory.  The data in this report accounts for
only first liens against a property and does not include secondary
liens. The foreclosure inventory is measured only against homes
that have an outstanding mortgage.  Homes with no mortgage liens
can never be in foreclosure and are, therefore, excluded from the
analysis.  Approximately one-third of homes nationally are owned
outright and do not have a mortgage.  CoreLogic has approximately
85 percent coverage of U.S. foreclosure data.

* Brokerage Ills Stir Auditor Scrutiny
--------------------------------------
Jean Eaglesham and Michael Rapoport, writing for The Wall Street
Journal, reported that U.S. regulators are tightening their
scrutiny of accountants in an effort to crack down on firms
bungling "red flags" that signal fraud and imperil customer money.

According to the WSJ report, the increased attention is occurring
largely at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where
investigators and top officials were rattled by the collapses of
Peregrine Financial Group Inc. and MF Global Holdings Ltd. At both
firms, rules that are supposed to protect customer funds were
allegedly broken without being detected by accountants.

WSJ related that the CFTC hasn't accused the auditors for MF
Global and Peregrine of wrongdoing. But their inability to spot
problems is spurring the agency to examine more closely under its
existing rules if accountants are properly policing the financial
controls at thousands of U.S. futures and swaps firms.

"Accountants haven't been our prime focus," Bart Chilton, one of
the CFTC's five commissioners, told WSJ.  Now, though, the agency
has "increased our efforts," though it isn't clear how far
enforcement officials will go to crack down on allegedly shoddy
accounting.

WSJ recalled that earlier this month, the CFTC filed its first-
ever disputed civil lawsuit in federal court against an accounting
firm for alleged audit failures. Tunney & Associates and owner
Michael Tunney of Orland Park, Ill., did five year-end audits of
Linn Group Inc. even though the accountants lacked "any
experience" with futures firms "or any entity that holds customer
segregated accounts."


* Ethanol Facilities Facing Liquidation
---------------------------------------
Katy Stech, writing for Dow Jones Newswires, reports that
struggling fuel-making facilities are in danger of falling to
liquidators before market recovers:

     -- New Energy Corp.'s ethanol plant in South Bend, Indiana,
was sold for $2.5 million at a bankruptcy auction but the buyers
-- California-based BidItUp Auctions Worldwide Inc. and Michigan's
Maynards Industries (1991) Inc. -- plan to sell the plant for
scrap.

     -- Purified Renewable Energy LLC, which operates an ethanol
plant in Buffalo Lake, Minn., said in court papers it is looking
for a buyer or a new loan.

     -- Bionol Clearfield LLC's ethanol-production facility in
Pennsylvania, sold last year for $9 million -- a fraction of the
$270 million spent to construct it, said Rob Carringer of Deloitte
LLP?s Corporate Restructuring Group, who helped sell the plant.
The buyers renamed it Pennsylvania Grain Processing LLC and
continue to operate the plant, located in Clearfield, Pa.

Dow Jones notes community leaders of South Bend, a city of 100,000
people that is home to the University of Notre Dame, tried to
block liquidators from buying the New Energy plant. One investor
group is interested in restarting it but didn?t come up with a
$250,000 deposit in time to bid at the auction. Though the
investor group, Natural Chem Holdings LLC, hasn?t given up on
overturning the court-approved sale, two federal judges have
already rejected its accusations that the auction winners unfairly
teamed up to win the plant. In March, the plant?s sale to the
liquidators closed. The two buyers didn?t respond to requests for
comment.

New Energy Corp. filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D. Ind.
Case No. 12-33866) in South Bend, Indiana, on Nov. 9, 2012.
The Debtor's ethanol facility is the first large-scale Greenfield
ethanol plant constructed in the U.S. and is capable of producing
100 million gallons of ethanol per year.  The Debtors has operated
continuously, without interruption since 1984.  The Debtor's
operations generated over $280 million in revenue in 2011.
At historical production rates, the Company employs 85 to 90
people to run operations, power the plant and to administer the
business operations of the Debtor.

Jeffrey J. Graham, Esq., at Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, in
Indianapolis, serves as counsel to New Energy.  The Debtor
estimated assets of at least $10 million and liabilities of at
least $50 million.

Purified Renewable Energy filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D.
Minn. Case No. 13-41446) on March 25, 2013.  Clinton E. Cutler,
Esq., at Fredrikson & Byron, P.A., in Minneapolis, serves as
counsel.  The Debtor estimated at least $1 million in assets and
at least $10 million in liabilities.

Bionol Clearfield filed for Chapter 7 liquidation (Bankr. D. Del.
Case No. 11-_____) in July 2011.  The Company estimated assets
between $50 million and $100 million and liabilities between
$100 million and $500 million.  The Company owned a plant that
produces bio-based chemicals and fuels from renewable feedstock.


* Insider-Trading Probe Trains Lens on Boards
---------------------------------------------
Susan Pulliam, Rob Barry and Scott Patterson, writing for The Wall
Street Journal, reported that federal prosecutors launched a
criminal investigation into whether corporate directors misused
government-sanctioned trading plans to sell company shares for
investment funds they run.

According to the report, the U.S. attorney's office for the
Eastern District of New York issued subpoenas requesting
information from companies and funds cited in an April 25 page-one
article in The Wall Street Journal that highlighted trading at
three companies by directors who also run funds, a person familiar
with the probe says.

WSJ related that the investigation is an outgrowth of another
criminal probe, led by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District
of New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission, into
trading by company insiders.

Spokespeople for the SEC and the Eastern and Southern districts
declined to comment, according to WSJ.

At issue are preset trading arrangements known as 10b5-1 plans,
initiated by the SEC in 2000, WSJ said. The plans allow corporate
executives and nonexecutive directors a way to sell some shares
despite potentially having knowledge of nonpublic information
about their companies, though such plans must be set up when the
executive doesn't possess inside information.

Prosecutors are interested in whether insiders are using such
plans to shed their positions when they are privy to private
information about companies, the person familiar with the probe
said, WSJ further related. There haven't been any allegations of
wrongdoing.


* National Credit Union Administration Suits Paused by Court
------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Harris & Dan Margolies, writing for Bloomberg News,
reported that eight lawsuits by the National Credit Union
Administration Board aimed at recouping losses on mortgage-backed
securities were halted by a federal judge pending an appeals court
ruling.

According to the Bloomberg report, U.S. District Judge John
Lungstrum in Kansas City, Kansas, put the litigation on hold until
the U.S. Court of Appeals in Denver rules on a challenge by RBS
Securities Inc. to another judge's decision last year denying its
request to dismiss a lawsuit by the board.

NCUA, an Alexandria, Virginia-based federal agency responsible for
recovering losses to minimize costs to its industry-funded
stabilization fund, sued units of Royal Bank of Scotland Plc,
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Barclays Plc (BARC) and other banks,
claiming they used misleading documents to sell the securities to
credit unions that later failed, the Bloomberg report related.

"The court concludes that a stay is appropriate in each of these
cases," Lungstrum said in his order dated April 30, Bloomberg
cited.

RBS is appealing a July 2012 ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard
D. Rogers in Topeka, Kansas, the report said.  Lungstrum's order
cited Rogers's grounds for allowing RBS to take its appeal mid-
case to support his decision.

"The appeal may materially advance the ultimate termination of
expensive and complex litigation," Lungstrum said, Bloomberg
further related.

A second, related appeal is also before the Denver-based court,
Bloomberg noted.  Depending on how the appellate court rules, some
defendants may ultimately have all of the claims against them
dismissed, he said.

Lungstrum did allow the parties in the cases to finish filing
papers involving any pending bids to dismiss the lawsuits,
according to Bloomnerg.  On April 8 the judge narrowed the issues
in a case NCUA brought against Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC.

The case is National Credit Union Administration Board v. RBS
Securities Inc., 11-cv-02340, U.S. District Court, District of
Kansas (Kansas City).


* Conn. Judge Follows Majority on Repeat Filers and Stays
---------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that a district judge in Connecticut adopted the majority
view and ruled that the failure to obtain an order within 30 days
of bankruptcy extending the automatic stay preserved the stay as
to property of the estate, although the stay evaporated as to the
bankrupt in Chapter 11.

The report recounts that an individual filed a Chapter 11 petition
less than one year after a Chapter 13 petition was dismissed.  As
a so-called repeat filer, the debtor filed a motion within three
days to extend the stay and avoid automatic termination of the
stay 30 days after filing under Section 362(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code.  The bankruptcy judge didn't complete the hearing within 30
days, believing it was unnecessary.  Several months after filing,
the bankruptcy judge extended the stay.

According to the report, on appeal, U.S. District Judge Stefan R.
Underhill from Bridgeport, Connecticut, upheld the bankruptcy
court "in substantial part," although on different grounds.
Following what he called the majority of courts, including two
district courts within the Second Circuit, Judge Underhill
concluded that the stay ended automatically after 30 days as to
the individual bankrupt because the stay hadn't been extended
under Section 362(c)(3).

The report notes that Judge Underhill read Section 362(c)(4) to
mean that the stay never ended as to property of the estate.
Thus, he said, it was unnecessary for the judge to rule about the
continuation of the stay to the extent of protecting property of
the estate.  Judge Underhill noted that some courts use Section
105 to protect individual bankrupts when, through no fault of
their own, there is no order within 30 days giving the individual
protection from the stay.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan,
which covers Connecticut, New York and Vermont, hasn't decided the
issue, Underhill said.

The case is Chekroun v. Weil (In re Weil), 12-462, U.S. District
Court, District of Connecticut (Bridgeport).


* Lawyer With Flat Fee Sanctioned
---------------------------------
Bill Rochelle, the bankruptcy columnist for Bloomberg News,
reports that charging a flat fee for handling a consumer
bankruptcy is permissible, although dangerous for the lawyer if
not done properly, as demonstrated in an opinion by U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Bruce A. Markell from Las Vegas.

According to the report, Judge Markell, who will step down from
the bench in July to become a law professor, said that "the
practice of law is a professional service, not a prepackaged, one-
size-fits-all product."  He concluded that a fixed fee to provide
limited services may be used "only when it is reasonable to do so
under the circumstances, and only when the client gives informed
consent."

The report relates that because a Las Vegas bankruptcy lawyer
named Anthony J. DeLuca didn't properly explain to a client what
he would and wouldn't do for a $2,000 flat fee, Judge Markell hit
him with sanctions in the 92-page opinion handed down April 9.  An
individual saddled with a judgment for filing a lawsuit in bad
faith sought out a bankruptcy lawyer to halt the judgment creditor
from garnishing his wages.  At the initial meeting, the lawyer saw
the judgment was in favor of a hospital and assumed it represented
medical bills easily erased in bankruptcy.

According to Judge Markell, the lawyer failed to investigate
further, where he would have seen the hospital was likely to file
suit claiming the debt shouldn't be wiped out in bankruptcy.

The lawyer, the report discloses, gave the bankrupt a 19-page
retainer agreement specifying a $2,000 flat fee.  The retainer
agreement, incorporating what's known as unbundling fee
provisions, said there would be additional charges for certain
types of services, including non-dischargeability disputes.  When
the hospital sued to keep the debt alive, the lawyer refused to
represent the bankrupt without additional payment.  Not able to
pay more for a lawyer, the bankrupt was forced to represent
himself in the non-dischargeability suit and eventually settled.

Judge Markell, according to the report, concluded that the lawyer
violated several Nevada ethical rules.  He directed the lawyer to
repay the entire fee, take 15 hours of legal education, and give
the opinion to every client in the next two years who needs legal
services not covered by the flat fee.  Rather than impose monetary
sanctions beyond fee disgorgement, Judge Markell will have the
opinion published if the ruling is upheld on appeal.

The report discloses that most of Judge Markell's opinion is
devoted to an analysis of when a flat fee is permissible and when
it violates ethical rules.  In the particular case, unbundling
wasn't reasonable because the only reason for bankruptcy was to
discharge the judgment the lawyer should have known would survive
bankruptcy.  He also said the bankrupt didn't give informed
consent in signing the engagement agreement because the lawyer
never explained what it meant in the particular client's
circumstances.

The case is Dignity Health v. Seare (In re Seare), 12-01108, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, District of Nevada (Las Vegas).

                            *********

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.
