(Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 14-10717) on April 1, 2014, with a
prepackaged plan of reorganization that will reduce debt by
$300 million.

Ablest together with its affiliates is a leading national provider

employees in hourly, salaried, supervisory, management and sales
positions plus 1,500 corporate and branch employees.

During the fiscal year ended Dec. 29, 2013, the Debtors placed
approximately 300,000 temporary employees and provided staffing
services to 11,500 customers.  For fiscal year 2013, the Debtors

The Debtors have tapped (i) the law firm of Pachulski Stang Ziehl

ALLY FINANCIAL: Divests 40% JV Interest for $1 Billion
------------------------------------------------------
Ally Financial Inc. had reached an agreement to sell its 40%
interest in a motor vehicle finance joint venture in China pursuant
to a Share Transfer Agreement, dated Nov. 21, 2012, as amended,
between Ally, General Motors Financial Company, Inc., and GMAC UK
PLC.  GMF and GMAC UK are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of General
Motors Co.

Ally disclosed in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission that, on Jan. 2, 2015, it had completed the
sale of the JV Interest, receiving approximately $1 billion in
total consideration at closing, which is subject to certain
post-closing adjustments.  As a result of completing this sale,
Ally expects to record an after-tax gain of approximately $400
million in the first quarter of 2015.

The JV Interest was classified by Ally as discontinued operations
as of Dec. 31, 2012, and its operating results were removed from
Ally's continuing operations and were presented separately as
discontinued operations, net of tax, in Ally's Consolidated
Financial Statements, included in Ally's Annual Reports on Form
10-K for the years ended Dec. 31, 2012, and 2013, as well as in
Ally's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for all periods subsequent to
Dec. 31, 2012.  

                        About Ally Financial

exchange for a 56.3 percent stake.  Private equity firm Cerberus

                           *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 16, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it raised its issuer credit rating on Ally Financial
Inc. to 'BB' from 'B+'.  "The upgrade reflects the company's
release from potential legal and financial liabilities stemming
from its ownership of ResCap," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Tom Connell.

In the April 3, 2014, edition of the TCR, Fitch Ratings has
upgraded Ally Financial Inc.'s long-term Issuer Default Rating
(IDR) and senior unsecured debt rating to 'BB+' from 'BB'.
The rating upgrade reflects increased clarity around Ally's
ownership structure given Ally's recent announcement that it has
launched an initial public offering those shares of its common
stock held by the U.S. Treasury (the Treasury).

As reported by the TCR on July 16, 2014, Moody's Investors Service
affirmed the Ba3 corporate family and B1 senior unsecured ratings
of Ally Financial, Inc. and revised the outlook for the ratings to
positive from stable.  Moody's affirmed Ally's ratings and revised
its rating outlook to positive based on the company's progress
toward sustained improvements in profitability and repayment of
government assistance received during the financial crisis.


AMERICAN AIRLINES: Pilots Want Policies Limiting Pay Changed
------------------------------------------------------------
Nicholas Sakelaris, writing for Dallas Business Journal, reports
that American Airlines pilots want to get paid when they are away
from home but aren't flying a plane.  Some pilots have spent 20
days or more away from home in a month but only got paid for 72
hours.

Business Journal relates that pilots contend that the Airline is
still acting like it is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy while it raked in
a record $4 billion profit last year. Both United Airlines and
Delta Air Lines had similar policies limiting pilots' pay when
they're not flying.  They got rid of the restrictions post
bankruptcy but American didn't.

The Allied Pilots Association said in a press release, "We have
raised this issue time and again with management during the (joint
collective bargaining agreement process) talks, and each time the
response has been the same -- they're unwilling to agree to
industry-standard duty-rig modifications that would remedy the
problem."  Business Journal adds that pilots have pushed for profit
sharing as part of their compensation but the management resisted.

According to Business Journal, the pilots could get 23% raises with
retroactive back pay and avoid binding arbitration if union members
approve the same contract union leaders adopted.  The report says
that talks on the Airline's final offer will continue this week.
APA members will likely vote on the contract this month, the report
states.   

The APA leadership said in a statement, "While we are disappointed
with the latest turn of events, your APA leadership remains
committed to concluding this process promptly and properly."

                     About American Airlines

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

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

Jack Butler, Esq., John Lyons, Esq., Felecia Perlman, Esq., and
Jay Goffman, Esq., at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP

is the financial advisor.

The Retiree Committee is represented by Jenner & Block LLP's
Catherine L. Steege, Esq., Charles B. Sklarsky, Esq., and Marc B.

AMR and US Airways Group, Inc., on Feb. 14, 2013, announced a
definitive merger agreement under which the companies will combine
to create a premier global carrier, which will have an implied
combined equity value of approximately $11 billion.

The bankruptcy judge on Sept. 12, 2013, confirmed AMR Corp.'s plan
to exit bankruptcy through a merger with US Airways.  By
distributing stock in the merged airlines, the plan is designed to
pay all creditors in full, with interest.

Judge Sean Lane confirmed the Plan despite the lawsuit filed by
the U.S. Department of Justice and several states' attorney
general complaining that the merger violates antitrust laws.

In November 2013, AMR and the U.S. Justice Department a settlement
of the anti-trust suit.  The settlements require the airlines to
shed 104 slots at Reagan National Airport in Washington and 34 at
LaGuardia Airport in New York.

AMR stepped out of Chapter 11 protection after its $17 billion
merger with US Airways was formally completed on Dec. 9, 2013.

                          *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter, on Sep. 2, 2014, reported that
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its rating outlooks on
American Airlines Group Inc. (AAG) and its subsidiaries American
Airlines Inc. and US Airways Inc. to positive from stable.  At the
same time, S&P affirmed its ratings on the companies, including
the 'B' corporate credit ratings.

The TCR, on Sept. 22, 2014, reported that Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services assigned its 'A (sf)' issue rating to American
Airlines Inc.'s series 2014-1 class A pass-through certificates,
which have an expected maturity of Oct. 1, 2026.  At the same
time, S&P assigned its 'BBB- (sf)' issue rating to the company's
series 2014-1 class B pass-through certificates, which have an
expected maturity of Oct. 1, 2022.  The final legal maturity dates
will be 18 months after the expected maturity dates. American
Airlines is issuing the certificates under a Rule 415 shelf
registration.

The TCR, on the same day, reported that Moody's Investors Service
assigned a B3 (LGD5) rating to the $500 million of new five year
unsecured notes that American Airlines Group Inc. ("AAG") offered
for sale earlier. Its subsidiaries, American Airlines, Inc.
("AA"), US Airways Group, Inc. and US Airways, Inc. will guarantee
AAG's payment obligations under the indenture on a joint and
several basis. Moody's Corporate Family rating of AAG is B1 with a
stable outlook.

The TCR also reported that Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of
'B+/RR4' to the $500 million unsecured notes to be issued by
American Airlines Group Inc. The Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) for
American Airlines Group Inc., American Airlines, Inc., US Airways
Group, Inc., and US Airways, Inc. remain unchanged at 'B+' with a
Stable Outlook.

The TCR, on Oct. 16, 2014, reported that Moody's upgraded its
ratings assigned to the Series 2001-1 Enhanced Equipment Trust
Certificate ("2001 EETCs") of American Airlines, Inc.: A-tranche
to B2 from Caa1, B-tranche to Caa3 from Ca and C-tranche to Caa3
from Ca. Moody's also affirmed all of its other ratings assigned
to American Airlines Group Inc. ("AAG"), including the B1
Corporate Family and B1-PD Probability of Default ratings, and of
American Airlines, Inc. ("AA") and US Airways Group, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, US Airways, Inc. and America West Airlines, Inc. The
outlook is stable and the Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating of
SGL-1 is unchanged. American Airlines Group Inc. guarantees

AMERICAN EAGLE: Announces Operations and Guidance Update
---------------------------------------------------------
American Eagle Energy Corporation announced an operations update
and production guidance for the fourth quarter ending Dec. 31,
2014, and capital spending guidance for 2015.

Commodity Hedges Sold for $13 Million

The Company recently monetized all of its crude oil hedge positions
for December 2014 through December 2015, generating proceeds of $13
million.  The hedges represented approximately 414,000 barrels of
oil at an average price of $89.59 per barrel. Proceeds will be used
to improve American Eagle's liquidity position.

Credit Facility and $175 Million Bonds Outstanding

American Eagle has no outstanding indebtedness on its senior
secured revolving credit facility that had an initial borrowing
base of up to $60 million as of Aug. 27, 2014.  Effective Dec. 24,
2014, the borrowing base was reduced to zero.  The Company has been
in compliance with the Credit Facility maintenance covenants.

American Eagle has $175 million of outstanding indebtedness on its
11% secured bonds.  The bonds do not have maintenance covenants.

2015 Capital Spending Guidance

The Company continues to be focused on capital discipline and
maintaining liquidity.  After drilling the Huffman 15-34S well in
November 2014, American Eagle released the drilling rig.  Given
current crude oil prices, American Eagle has suspended its 2015
operated drilling budget and does not anticipate resuming drilling
operations until crude oil prices improve.  The Company expects to
conduct completion operations in the first quarter of 2015 on two
gross (1.9 net) wells (Byron 4-4 and Shelley Lynn 4-4N) that were
drilled during the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2014.  These
operations are estimated to require a capital expenditure of
approximately $4.5 million in 2015.

Operated Well Development

During the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2014, American Eagle added
to production 3 gross (1.8 net) new operated wells and 2 gross (1.3
net) operated wells that were re-completed.  The Donald 15-33S
(Three Forks long lateral) well was the last of six wells developed
under the Company's Farm-Out program.  The Donald 15-33S extends
the productive area two miles west of the Bryce 3-2 well and
appears to prove up an additional 4 to 6 spacing units in the
western part of the field.  The well began producing oil in early
October at an average of approximately 312 barrels of oil
equivalent per day ("BOEPD") during the first 30 days of
production.

The Rick 13-31 (Three Forks short-lateral) well with an 85% working
interest was stimulated earlier in mid-October and began producing
oil in late October.  During the first 30 days of production, the
Rick 13-31 well produced an average of approximately 267 BOEPD.

The Huffman 15-34S (Three Forks long-lateral) well with a 94%
working interest was stimulated in November using a slickwater
stimulation and has been cleaning up after being put on pump in
mid-December with rates exceeding 250 BOEPD for the last few days,
The Huffman 15-34S well is located between the Bryce 3-2 (Three
Forks long-lateral) well that produced approximately 400 BOEPD
during the first 30 days, and the Donald 15-33S (Three Forks
long-lateral) well that produced approximately 312 BOEPD during the
first 30 days.

Remedial completions to correct problems with faulty sleeves were
performed during the fourth quarter of 2014 on the Shelly 3-2N
(Three Forks short-lateral, 97% WI) and the La Plata State 2-16
(Three Forks long lateral, 39% WI) wells, both of which were
drilled and completed during the first half of the year.
Reperforating and restimulation operations were successfully
conducted on both wells and they have been cleaned out and put on
pump but no meaningful production data is available yet.

Production Volume Guidance

The Company anticipates that its average production for the fourth
quarter ended Dec. 31, 2014, will be approximately 2,600 to 2,700
BOEPD. The new estimate is a reduction from its previous guidance
of between 2,700 BOEPD to over 3,000 BOEPD due mostly to
anticipated completion of the Byron 4-4 and Shelley Lynn 4-4N now
scheduled for first quarter of 2015 rather than fourth quarter of
2014.

                       About American Eagle

Littleton, Colorado-based American Eagle Energy Corporation is
engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
gas properties.  The Company is primarily focused on extracting
proved oil reserves from those properties.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2014, the Company had
$373 million in total assets, $248 million in total liabilities
and $125 million of stockholders' equity.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Aug. 7, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services assigned its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating to Denver-
based American Eagle Energy Corp.  "The ratings on American Eagle
reflect our view of the company's participation in the volatile
and capital-intensive oil and gas E&P industry, and its small and
geographically concentrated asset base in Divide County, N.D.,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Christine Besset.

The TCR reported on Aug. 6, 2014, that Moody's Investors Service
assigned first time ratings to American Eagle Energy Corporation's
(American Eagle Energy or AMZG), including a Caa1 Corporate Family
Rating (CFR).

conduct completion operations in the first quarter of 2015 on two
gross (1.9 net) wells (Byron 4-4 and Shelley Lynn 4-4N) that were
drilled during the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2014.  These
operations are estimated to require a capital expenditure of
approximately $4.5 million in 2015.

Operated Well Development

During the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2014, American Eagle added
to production 3 gross (1.8 net) new operated wells and 2 gross (1.3
net) operated wells that were re-completed.  The Donald 15-33S
(Three Forks long lateral) well was the last of six wells developed
under the Company's Farm-Out program.  The Donald 15-33S extends
the productive area two miles west of the Bryce 3-2 well and
appears to prove up an additional 4 to 6 spacing units in the
western part of the field.  The well began producing oil in early
October at an average of approximately 312 barrels of oil
equivalent per day ("BOEPD") during the first 30 days of
production.

The Rick 13-31 (Three Forks short-lateral) well with an 85% working
interest was stimulated earlier in mid-October and began producing
oil in late October.  During the first 30 days of production, the
Rick 13-31 well produced an average of approximately 267 BOEPD.

The Huffman 15-34S (Three Forks long-lateral) well with a 94%
working interest was stimulated in November using a slickwater
stimulation and has been cleaning up after being put on pump in
mid-December with rates exceeding 250 BOEPD for the last few days,
The Huffman 15-34S well is located between the Bryce 3-2 (Three
Forks long-lateral) well that produced approximately 400 BOEPD
during the first 30 days, and the Donald 15-33S (Three Forks
long-lateral) well that produced approximately 312 BOEPD during the
first 30 days.

Remedial completions to correct problems with faulty sleeves were
performed during the fourth quarter of 2014 on the Shelly 3-2N
(Three Forks short-lateral, 97% WI) and the La Plata State 2-16
(Three Forks long lateral, 39% WI) wells, both of which were
drilled and completed during the first half of the year.
Reperforating and restimulation operations were successfully
conducted on both wells and they have been cleaned out and put on
pump but no meaningful production data is available yet.

Production Volume Guidance

The Company anticipates that its average production for the fourth
quarter ended Dec. 31, 2014, will be approximately 2,600 to 2,700
BOEPD. The new estimate is a reduction from its previous guidance
of between 2,700 BOEPD to over 3,000 BOEPD due mostly to
anticipated completion of the Byron 4-4 and Shelley Lynn 4-4N now
scheduled for first quarter of 2015 rather than fourth quarter of
2014.

BAXANO SURGICAL: Gets Final Approval of Bankruptcy Financing
------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that a bankruptcy judge has given Baxano Surgical
Inc., final authority to obtain postpetition financing from
Hercules Technology Growth Capital Inc., the company's prepetition
lender.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the
Bankruptcy Court has authorized, on an interim basis, the Debtor to
obtain postpetition financing in an aggregate principal amount not
to exceed $350,000, plus interest, and use cash collateral securing
its prepetition indebtedness, as it needs liquidity in order to
survive to the closing of any sale of its assets.

The DIP financing provides for term loan advances in an aggregate
principal amount of $350,000 -- $250,000 of which will be
available to the Debtor on an interim basis; provided, however,
that of the said $250,000 available on an interim basis, the
second $150,000 will be advanced solely in the DIP Lender's
discretion.  The DIP Loan accrues interest at 12.5%.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtor was indebted to Hercules,
which is also the Prepetition Lender, in the aggregate principal
amount of $7,300,000.  The Prepetition Lender will be granted
adequate protection for, and in equal amount to, the diminution in
value of its prepetition security interests in the form of super-
priority claims and replacement liens on all assets securing the
DIP Facility which replacement liens will be equal in priority to
the DIP Liens and which super-priority claims will be junior to
the Carve-Out and to the super-priority claims granted to the DIP
Lender.

Under the Final DIP Order, Baxano can borrow as much as $425,000,
an increase of $75,000, the Bloomberg report said.

According to the report, Irving Picard, the man charged with
cleaning up the mess from the biggest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history,

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.).

From recoveries in lawsuits coupled with money advanced by SIPC,
Mr. Picard has commenced distributions to victims. The fifth pro
rata interim distribution slated for Jan. 15, 2015, will total $322
million and will bring the amount distributed to eligible claimants
to approximately $7.2 billion, which includes more than $822.5
million in advances committed to the SIPA Trustee for distribution

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Apollo Trying to Salvage Bad Debt
--------------------------------------------------------
Matt Jarzemsky and Matt Wirz, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review,
reported that despite a bad bet on Caesars Entertainment Corp.,
Apollo Global Management LLC may avoid losing all of its chips.

According to the report, through a series of financial maneuvers,
Apollo has positioned itself to salvage some of the $1.7 billion it
invested in Caesars, which it took private seven years ago in a $28
billion leveraged buyout with fellow private-equity firm TPG.  The
restructuring hinges on the bankruptcy of Caesars's largest unit,
which could come as soon as mid-January, and transfers of the
unit's best assets that have infuriated creditors, the report
noted.

                    About Caesars Entertainment

Caesars Entertainment Corp., formerly Harrah's Entertainment Inc.
-- http://www.caesars.com/-- is one of the world's largest casino

companies.  Caesars casino resorts operate under the Caesars,
Bally's, Flamingo, Grand Casinos, Hilton and Paris brand names.
The Company has its corporate headquarters in Las Vegas.

Harrah's announced its re-branding to Caesar's in mid-November
2010.

Caesars Entertainment reported a net loss of $2.93 billion in
2013, as compared with a net loss of $1.50 billion in 2012.  The
Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2014, showed $24.5 billion in
total assets, $28.20 billion in total liabilities and a
$3.71 billion total deficit.

                           *     *     *

In the April 10, 2014, edition of the TCR, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit ratings on Las
Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment Corp. (CEC) and wholly owned
subsidiaries, Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. (CEOC) and
Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties (CERP), as well
as the indirectly majority-owned Chester Downs and Marina, to
'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.  The downgrade reflects S&P's expectation that
Caesars' capital structure is unsustainable, and the amount of
cash the company will burn in 2014 and 2015 creates conditions
under which S&P believes a restructuring of some form is
increasingly likely over the near term absent an unanticipated
significantly favorable change in operating performance.

As reported by the TCR on May 1, 2014, Fitch Ratings had
downgraded the Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of Caesars
Entertainment Corp (CEC) and Caesars Entertainment
Operating Company (CEOC) to 'CC' from 'CCC'.

In May 2014, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Caa3 corporate
family rating and Caa3-PD probability of default ratings.  The
negative rating outlook reflects Moody's view that CEOC will
pursue a debt restructuring in the next year. Ratings could be
lowered if CEOC does not take steps to address it unsustainable
capital structure. Ratings improvement is not expected unless
there is a significant reduction in CEOC's $18 billion debt load.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 18, 2014, Fitch Ratings downgraded
the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of Caesars Entertainment Operating
Company (CEOC) to 'C' from 'CC'.  The downgrade of the IDR to 'C'
reflects CEOC's missed $223 million interest payment to the
holders of the 10% second lien notes that was due December 15.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 18, 2014, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded the ratings of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company,
including the corporate family rating, to Ca from Caa3.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 18, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating to 'D' from 'CCC-' on
Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. Inc. (CEOC), a majority-owned
subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Corp.

"We lowered the rating as a result of the company's decision not
to pay approximately $225 million in interest that was due on
Dec. 15, 2014 on $4.5 billion of 10% second-priority senior
secured notes due 2015 and 2018," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Melissa Long.

after having failed to overturn orders in Capeco's bankruptcy that
lumped tort claimants with other general unsecured creditors in the
distribution of $24 million in related insurance proceeds.

According to the report, Interek USA Inc.'s appeal concerns whether
tort claimants with priority payment rights under Puerto Rico law

CHIQUITA BRANDS: Cutrale, Safra Complete $14.50 a Share Bid
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rogerio Jelmayer, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported
that Cutrale and Safra Groups have successfully completed their
$14.50-a-share tender offer for Chiquita Brands International Inc.,
saying 39.79 million shares of the banana grower's common stock had
been validly tendered, representing about 84.46% of the shares
outstanding of Chiquita common stock.

According to the Journal, at the end of December, the companies
extended the tender offer to Jan. 5, 2015, after about 82.24% of
shares outstanding were tendered by the initial Dec. 23, 2014
deadline.

                      About Chiquita Brands

Chiquita Brands (NYSE: CQB) -- http://www.chiquita.com/-- is an  
international marketer and distributor of food products.

                           *     *     *

The March 17, 2014 edition of The Troubled Company Reporter
reported that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its
rating outlook on Chiquita Brands International Inc. to positive
from stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed the 'B' corporate
credit rating, 'B' senior secured debt rating, and 'CCC+'
unsecured debt rating on the company.

The TCR, on Jan. 30, 2014, reported that Moody's Investors Service
changed the rating outlook for Chiquita Brands International Inc.
to stable from negative while affirming all ratings of the
company, including its B2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and B2-PD
Probability of Default Rating (PDR).  Moody's also affirmed the
company's SGL-3 liquidity rating. The change in the outlook to
stable reflects Moody's expectation for continued improvement in
Chiquita's credit metrics, which have recently benefitted from
margin improvement largely as a result of cost saving initiatives.

The Aug. 14, 2014, edition of the TCR reported that Moody's
Investors Service views the proposed non-binding all cash bid from
Cutrale Group and Safra Group to acquire Chiquita Brands
International, Inc. favorably but it does not impact Chiquita's B2
CFR or developing outlook.

The TCR, on Oct. 13, 2014, reported that S&P revised its rating
outlook on Chiquita to developing from positive.  At the same
time, S&P affirmed its 'B' corporate credit rating on the company.
In addition, S&P affirmed the 'B' rating on the company's senior
secured notes due 2021.  The recovery rating remains '3',
indicating S&P's expectation for meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery
in the event of a payment default.  S&P also affirmed its 'CCC+'
rating on the company's unsecured convertible senior notes due
2016.  The recovery rating remains '6', indicating S&P's
expectation for negligible (0% to 10%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.


CIRCUIT CITY: LG, Epson Shed Some Claims In LCD Price-Fixing MDL
----------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Alfred H. Siegel, the trustee for Circuit City
Stores Inc., agreed to dismiss, with prejudice, his claims against
Epson Imaging Devices Corp. in a liquid crystal display
price-fixing multidistrict litigation, a day after Proview
Technology Inc. stipulated dismissal of its claims against LG
Display Co. Ltd. in the same case.

According to the report, Siegel first sued Epson, along with a slew
of other electronics manufacturers, in 2010, contending the
companies had conspired for a decade to fix prices on LCD panels
and products, causing Circuit City to pay more for the products
than it otherwise would have.

The cases are Alfred H. Siegel, as trustee of the Circuit City
Stores Inc. Liquidating Trust v. AU Optronics Corp. et al, case
number 3:10-cv-05625, and Proview Technology Inc. v. AU Optronics
Corp. et al, case number 3:12-cv-3802, in the U.S. District Court

COMMUNITY BANCORP: Execs Settle $11M Feud With FDIC, Insurer
------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that former executives at a failed Arizona bank
have settled an $11 million Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. lawsuit
accusing them of misconduct, while reaching a related deal over
Progressive Casualty Insurance Co.'s bid to deny coverage for the
regulator's claims, according to documents filed in federal court.

According to the report, the insurer had held that it has no duty
to defend or indemnify the eight Community Bank of Arizona officers
and directors -- led by CEO Edward Jamison -- in the FDIC's
underlying suit.  While the insurer, the FDIC and the former bank
officials did not disclose the terms of the settlement in the
filing, they said it was contingent on approval from the judge
overseeing the bankruptcy of CBA's parent, Community Bancorp, the
report related.

The insurance case is Progressive Casualty Insurance Co. v. Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. et al., case number 2:13-cv-00232, in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona.  The underlying
case is FDIC v. Jamison et al., case number 2:12-cv-01508, in the
same court.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that unsecured creditors of Delia's Inc. have

million bankruptcy loan would let lender Salus Capital Partners LLC
make off with too much in the retailer's liquidation, attorneys
said at a hearing.

According to the report, an attorney for Delia's outlined a

Holyoke Mall Company L.P. and EklecCo NewCo, LLC, (together, the
"Pyramid Landlords"), which assert that as of the Petition Date
they have valid, perfected, first priority liens in all of dELiA*s
Retail Company's inventory, equipment, fixtures, trade fixtures,
improvements and merchandise located at certain premises, consent
to the sale of the Pyramid Collateral.  The Debtors will pay the

ELBIT IMAGING: Completes NIS37.7MM Sale of "Mango" Operation
------------------------------------------------------------
Elbit Imaging Ltd.'s wholly owned subsidiary Elbit Fashion Ltd. has
completed the sale of the operation and business of "Mango" retail
stores in Israel to Fox-Wisel Ltd., for consideration of
approximately NIS 37.7 million, out of which NIS 4.9 million were
deposited in escrow, subject to certain adjustments in accordance
with the provisions of the transaction documents.  Following the
closing and consummation of the transaction, Elbit Fashion has
ceased to operate the "Mango" retail stores activity, and
accordingly the said activity will be classified as discontinued
operation at the Company's financial statements.

                       About Elbit Imaging

Tel-Aviv, Israel-based Elbit Imaging Ltd. (TASE, NASDAQ: EMITF)
hold investments in real estate and medical companies.  The
Company, through its subsidiaries, also develops shopping and
entertainment centers in Central Europe and invests in and manages
hotels.

Since February 2013, Elbit has intensively endeavored to come to
an arrangement with its creditors.  Elbit has said it has been
hanging by a thread for more than five months.  It has encountered
cash flow difficulties and this burdens its day to day activities,
and it certainly cannot make the necessary investments to improve
its assets.  In light of the arrangement proceedings, and
according to the demands of most of the bondholders, as well as an
agreement that was signed on March 19, 2013, between Elbit and the
Trustees of six out of eight series of bonds, Elbit is prohibited,
inter alia, from paying off its debts to the financial creditors
-- and as a result a petition to liquidate Elbit was filed, and
Bank Hapoalim has declared its debts immediately payable,
threatening to realize pledges that were given to the Bank on
material assets of the Company -- and Elbit undertook not to sell
material assets of the Company and not to perform any transaction
that is not during its ordinary course of business without giving
an advance notice to the trustees.

Accountant Rony Elroy has been appointed as expert for examining
the debt arrangement in the Company.

In July 2013, Elbit Imaging's controlling shareholders, Europe-
Israel MMS Ltd. and Mr. Mordechay Zisser, notified the Company
that the Tel Aviv District Court has appointed Adv. Giroa Erdinast
as a receiver with regards to the ordinary shares of the Company
held by Europe Israel securing Europe Israel's obligations under
its loan agreement with Bank Hapoalim B.M.  The judgment stated
that the Receiver is not authorized to sell the Company's shares
at this stage.  Following a request of Europe-Israel, the Court
also delayed any action to be taken with regards to the sale of
those shares for a period of 60 days.  Europe Israel and
Mr. Zisser have also notified the Company that they utterly reject
the Bank's claims and intend to appeal the Court's ruling.

Elbit Imaging reported a loss of NIS1.56 billion on
NIS360.59 million of total revenues for the year ended Dec. 31,
2013, as compared with a loss of NIS483.98 million on NIS418.48
million of total revenues in 2012.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had NIS4.05 billion in total
assets, NIS3.16 billion in total liabilities and NIS889.58 million
shareholders' equity.

Tohmatsu, in Tel-Aviv, Israel, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2013.


EXIDE TECH: Balks at Committee's Bid to Retain Quinn Emanuel
------------------------------------------------------------
Exide Technologies asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware to deny the request to retain Quinn Emanuel Urquhart &
Sullivan LLP as special antitrust counsel to the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors.

A hearing on the firm's hiring is set for Jan. 12, 2015 at 10:00
a.m. (Eastern).

According to the Debtor, the Committee's pursuit of potential price
manipulation claims has spanned over a year, including a five-month
joint investigation with the assistance of an economic consultant.
In April 2014, the Debtor agreed to collaborate and fund the
initial phase of work proposed by the Committee, which has been
completed at significant expense.  To date, the lead investigation
proposed by the Committee has cost the estate more than $2.2
million in attorney and consultant fees and costs.  Notwithstanding
such time and expense, the Committee now pushes forward with the
proposed retention of new antitrust counsel to pursue extensive
additional phases of work at the expense of the estate.

The Debtor notes the Committee proposes to retain the firm, on an
hourly basis in anticipation of additional phases of work exceeding
the $2.2 million in attorneys' fees and costs already expended.
The Debtor opposes this retention unless the Committee puts forth
an appropriate fee arrangement on a contingency basis.  The
billable hour fee structure is not the typical fee structure for
plaintiffs' counsel in private antitrust litigation of the type the
Committee has repeatedly referenced in its applications in this
case, nor is it a reasonable approach in the context of this
bankruptcy.

The Debtor says it is committed to undertake the lead investigation
that was discussed at the hearing on April 1, 2014, and has worked
cooperatively with the Committee and the economic consultant.  In
light of the significant fees and expenses the estate has borne
thus far, however, the Debtor opposes the Committee's effort to
retain the firm to pursue further phases of work absent a
contingency fee arrangement.

Certain holders of Exide's 8-5/8% senior secured notes joined in
the Debtor's objection.

FANNIE MAE: Pershing Tangles Over Dismissed Action
--------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital
Management LP argued that the U.S. Department of the Treasury
cannot use other Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stockholders' recent
legal defeat as leverage in Pershing's own effort to recoup
billions of dollars allegedly misappropriated from the mortgage
giants.

According to the report, a leading critic of the government's
crisis-era dealings, Pershing's famed activist chief launched two
lawsuits in August over the bailout terms set following the
creation of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and its
controversial takeover of Fannie and Freddie.  One suit, in the
U.S. Court of Federal Claims, is still pending, while Pershing
voluntarily dropped the other, in federal court, on Oct. 31 -- one
month after U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth dismissed similar
litigation brought by fellow Fannie and Freddie shareholders
including fund managers Perry Capital LLC and Fairholme Funds Inc.,
the report related.

                       About Fannie Mae

Federal National Mortgage Association, aka Fannie Mae, is a
government-sponsored enterprise that was chartered by U.S.
Congress in 1938 to support liquidity, stability and affordability
in the secondary mortgage market, where existing mortgage-related
assets are purchased and sold.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury owns Fannie Mae's senior
preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 79.9 percent of its
common stock, and Treasury has made a commitment under a senior
preferred stock purchase agreement to provide Fannie with funds
under specified conditions to maintain a positive net worth.

Fannie Mae reported net income of $83.98 billion on $117.54
billion of total interest income for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013,
as compared with net income of $17.22 billion on $129.19 billion
of total interest income for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $3.22 trillion in total
assets, $3.21 trillion in total liabilities and $8.09 billion in
total equity.

                          Conservatorship

Fannie Mae has operated under the conservatorship of the Federal
Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") since Sept. 6, 2008.  Fannie Mae
has not received funds from Treasury since the first quarter of
2012.  The funding the company has received under its senior
preferred stock purchase agreement with Treasury has provided the
company with the capital and liquidity needed to fulfill its
mission of providing liquidity and support to the nation's housing
finance markets and to avoid a trigger of mandatory receivership
under the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008.
For periods through March 31, 2014, Fannie Mae has requested
cumulative draws totaling $116.1 billion and paid $121.1 billion
in dividends to Treasury.  Under the senior preferred stock
purchase agreement, the payment of dividends cannot be used to
offset prior draws.  As a result, Treasury maintains a liquidation
preference of $117.1 billion on the Company's senior preferred
stock.


GENERAL MOTORS: Moody's Assigns (P)Ba2 Subordinated Shelf Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned the following provisional
ratings to General Motors Financial Company, Inc.'s shelf program.

General Motors Financial Company, Inc.

Senior Unsecured Shelf -- (P)Ba1

Subordinate Shelf -- (P)Ba2

The debt securities of any series may initially be guaranteed by
GMF's subsidiary, AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc.

Ratings Rationale

GMF has a Corporate Family Rating of Ba1 that incorporates two
notches of uplift from its ba3 Baseline Credit Assessment due to
ownership and support of General Motors Company which has a senior
unsecured rating of Ba1. The uplift relative to the BCA results
from the support agreement with GM that the companies entered into
in September 2014. This support agreement is explicit and provides
evidence of ongoing integration of the captive finance company and
the manufacturing company, an ongoing process since GM's
acquisition of GMF in October 2010.

GMF's ratings could be upgraded based upon an upgrade of GM. GMF
could improve its ba3 BCA if it continues to evolve its funding mix
to materially reduce its reliance on secured debt, thereby
decreasing encumbered asset levels, and if its level of earning
assets and origination volumes continue to evolve towards a heavier
concentration in GM captive businesses.

GMF's ratings could be downgraded if GM's ratings were downgraded,
if there is evidence of removal of GM financial support, if the
strength of the support agreement between GM and GMF weakens,
and/or if a large rating gap between GMF's BCA and GM's rating
occurs. Downward movement in GMF's ba3 BCA could occur if asset
quality, liquidity measures or capital materially deteriorate.

GMF, a wholly owned subsidiary of GM, provides global auto finance
solutions through auto dealers across North America, Europe and
Latin America. The company, which reported total assets of $43.6
billion as of September 30, 2014, is headquartered in Fort Worth,
Texas.

with founder Joe Francis.


GK HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'B+' CCR & Rates $ 195MM Sec. Loans 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B+' corporate
credit rating to Cary, N.C.-based IT and business skills learning
solutions provider GK Holdings Inc. (Global Knowledge).  The
outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B+' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery rating to the company's proposed $20 million senior
secured revolving credit facility due 2020 and $175 million senior
secured first-lien loan due 2021.  The '3' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful recovery (low end of the
50%-70% range) of principal for debtholders in the event of
default.

S&P also assigned its 'B' issue-level rating and '5' recovery
rating to the company's proposed $50 million senior secured
second-lien loan.  The '5' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation for modest (low end of the 10%-30% range) of principal
for debtholders in the event of default.

"The 'B+' corporate credit rating reflects the low barriers to
entry and highly fragmented nature of the IT and business skills
learning solutions industry, Global Knowledge's reliance on a few
IT vendors for a majority of training revenue, and lack of pricing
power," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jawad Hussain.  It
also reflects the company's "aggressive" financial risk profile,
resulting from the increased debt in the capital structure due to
Rhone Capital's acquisition of the company.



GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE: Moody's Assigns B2 CFR & Rates 1st Lien Debt B1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Global Knowledge Training LLC a
B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of Default Rating.
Concurrently, Moody's assigned B1 ratings to the company's proposed
$20 million senior secured revolving credit facility and $175
million senior secured first lien term loan. A Caa1 rating was
assigned to the company's proposed $50 million second lien term
loan. The rating outlook is stable.

Proceeds from the credit facilities, along with approximately $191
million of equity contribution, will be used to fund the
acquisition of Global Knowledge by funds affiliated with Rhone
Capital L.L.C. (Rhone Capital) for $400 million and pay related
fees and expenses.

The following rating actions were taken (all ratings are subject to
the execution of the transaction as currently proposed and Moody's
review of final documentation):

Corporate family rating, assigned B2;

Probability of default rating, assigned B2-PD;

$20 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 5 years,
assigned B1 (LGD3);

$175 million senior secured term loan due 6 years, assigned B1
(LGD3);

$50 million second lien term loan due 7 years, assigned Caa1
(LGD5);

Outlook stable.

Ratings Rationale

Global Knowledge's B2 corporate family rating reflects its small
scale and high financial leverage which, on a pro-forma basis and
including Moody's standard adjustment for operating leases, is
expected to be over 5 times Debt to EBITDA. The rating further
reflects the competitive and fragmented market for corporate
training services and exposure to trends in corporate spending
which are impacted by regional macroeconomic conditions. While the
company's training services include classes for various IT vendors
with a majority of revenue being certification based, the company's
revenue would likely be negatively impacted during periods of
economic weakness, both regionally and globally, as corporate
customers would likely reduce expenditures on training services due
to their more discretionary nature. The rating derives support from
the company's stable, repeating revenue base, wide geographic
footprint, and flexible cost structure. The company maintains
relationships with a number of large information technology vendors
and is able to offer its corporate clients classroom and virtual
training services on a global basis. Further supporting the rating
is the good liquidity profile and cash flow dynamics of the
business. The company requires minimal capital investment and
receives sizeable amounts of cash up front, aiding the cash
generation of the business.

The stable outlook reflects the anticipation for continued revenue
growth, positive free cash flow generation, and the maintenance of
a good liquidity profile.

Moody's could downgrade the ratings if Debt to EBITDA increases to
and is sustained over 6 times, EBITA to interest falls below 1.75
times or if the company's liquidity profile deteriorates,
demonstrated by reduced cushion under financial covenants,
depleting cash balances or operating cash flow declines. Ratings
could also be pressured should the company engage in shareholder
enhancement initiatives such as dividends or debt financed
acquisitions.

The ratings could be upgraded if Debt to EBITDA (Moody's adjusted)
is sustained near 4 times through a combination of earnings growth
and debt reduction, EBITA to interest exceeds 2.5 times, and free
cash flow is in the high single-digit range as a percentage of
debt. Continued top line growth, consistent positive free cash flow
and the maintenance of a conservative financial policy would also
be needed for an upgrade.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in December 2014. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade
Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in
June 2009.

Global Knowledge Training LLC, headquartered in Cary, North
Carolina, provides information technology and business skills
training solutions for corporations and their employees. The
company offers courses in multiple languages including
vendor-specific training for Cisco, Microsoft, IBM, Avaya, Red Hat,
VMware and Citrix technologies and certifications. Following
closing of the acquisition, the company will be primarily owned by
Rhone Capital. Net revenue for the last twelve month period ended
September 30, 2014 was approximately $345 million.

-------------------------------------
Daily Bankruptcy Review, citing The Associated Press, reported that
a Maine paper mill that furloughed employees and suspended
operations in August is rehiring 180 of the workers.  According to
the report, the former Old Town Fuel & Fiber mill also plans
additional hiring to fill some remaining positions.  The mill's
former owners cited high operating costs and foreign competition
when they furloughed about 200 workers last year, the report
added.

HEI INC: Proposes Alliance Management as Financial Advisor
----------------------------------------------------------
HEI, Inc., seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Minnesota to hire the financial and turnaround
consulting firm of BGA Management, LLC, doing business as Alliance
Management, to continue to assist it as a financial and turnaround
consultant during the case, to perform other consulting services
necessary to the Debtor's continuing operations, to work with
present and potential lenders, and to advise on and facilitate the
sale of the Debtor's businesses.

Alliance has been consulting with the Debtor since July 24, 2014.
Since July, the Debtor has paid Alliance a total of $355,000,
excluding the pre-bankruptcy retainer.  Based on the Debtor's
prepetition experience, the Debtor believes that Alliance's
consultants are competent and experienced in assisting corporations
in Chapter 11 and that Alliance's employment is in the best
interest of the estate.

The Debtor has paid Alliance a retainer of $117,300 prior to filing
and has agreed that the firm will hold the retainer in trust for
application against its final allowed fees.

The Debtor proposes that employment be on an hourly rate plus costs
plus incentive pay basis.  Alliance's professionals will charge
hourly rates ranging from $295 to $495, subject to normal and
customary increases which occur in January of each calendar year.

The Professional Services Agreement also provides for two forms of
Incentive Compensation.  Alliance is entitled an "Asset Sale Fee"
that is 3% of all purchase price consideration, which includes
cash, promissory note obligations, assumed liabilities, and all
other consideration paid, given, granted, or conveyed to the Debtor
by a buyer, except for the sale of real estate where the buyer is
first contacted by an independent real estate agent. Alliance is
also eligible for a "New Financing Success Fee" if Alliance assists
the Debtor in securing new financing through, among other things,
(a) assists in negotiations with a new lender, (b) prepares a
financing memorandum, or (c) introduces a new party that provides
financing.  The New Financing Success Fee is 1.5% of the value of
senior secured debt and 3% of the value of mezzanine or
subordinated debt.

The Professional Services Agreement provides that the Debtor shall
reimburse Alliance's reasonable business and travel expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the preparation
for or work in bankruptcy, processing fee applications, providing
litigation support, and similar legal issues arising in the course
of the engagement.

In addition, the Debtor has agreed to indemnify Alliance if, in
connection with any work, service, or matters subject to the
Professional Services Agreement, Alliance or its officers,
directors, employees, or agents become involved in any capacity in
any action or legal proceeding, pending or threatened.

The Debtor believes the employment of Alliance is in the best
interest of the estate and that Alliance does not represent or hold
any interest adverse to the estate, and is "disinterested" within
the meaning of Section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

HOOVER GROUP: Moody's Assigns B2 Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned Hoover Group, Inc. first-time
ratings, including a B2 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") and B3-PD
Probability of Default Rating. Concurrently, a B2 rating was
assigned to the company's proposed senior secured first lien bank
debt, consisting of a $30 million revolving credit facility due
2020 and a $165 million term loan due 2022. The company is a global
provider of chemical tanks, cargo carrying units and related
products (through rental and sales) and aftermarket services. The
company operates its business as Hoover Container Solutions. The
ratings outlook is stable.

The proceeds from the bank debt issuance will be used to partially
fund the $330 million acquisition of the company by private equity
firm First Reserve. The transaction includes an equity component of
approximately $175.6 million with management rolling over
approximately $60 million. The B2 rating on the proposed bank debt,
in line with the B2 CFR, reflects the preponderance of first lien
secured debt in the company's debt structure.

The following ratings were assigned (the ratings are based on the
transaction as currently proposed and are subject to Moody's review
of final documentation):

Assignments:

Corporate Family Rating, B2

Probability of Default Rating, B3-PD

$30 million first lien revolver due 2020, B2, LGD-3

$165 million first lien term loan due 2022, B2, LGD-3

Ratings Outlook, Stable

Ratings Rationale

Hoover's B2 CFR considers the company's small revenue base,
moderate leverage for the rating category and acquisitive growth
strategy balanced against the company's geographic diversification,
diversified blue-chip customer base and good market position in the
niche container solutions market. Approximately one quarter of
revenues are generated abroad. Moody's estimates an initial
debt/EBITDA of slightly over 5.0x. Of note, the leverage
calculation includes bolt-on acquisitions that the company has
completed over the last twelve to eighteen months. Supporting the
ratings are the company's different revenue sources, including the
rental of equipment, sales of its manufactured equipment to
third-parties as well as its services business.

Approximately three-quarters of Hoover's revenues are tied to the
oil and gas sector. Importantly this is a diversified revenue
stream comprised of U.S. onshore, offshore as well as international
offshore activity. The remaining quarter is comprised of the
petrochemical and general industrial markets. Of note, forty
percent of revenues are derived from production chemicals. Although
the company is not insulated from oil price declines, Moody's notes
that over sixty percent of the company's energy business is tied to
production, rather than exploration and drilling activity.
Exploration and drilling activity in the oil and gas sector is the
area most immediately impacted by the recent meaningful decline in
global crude oil prices. Production activity, that comprises the
primary segment that Hoover is exposed to, is largely driven by the
installed base of offshore and onshore wells and platforms, rather
than new drilling activity. Also, supporting the credit profile is
Moody's anticipation that the company will maintain an adequate
liquidity profile, largely supported by positive free cash flow
generation and availability under its proposed revolving credit
facility.

The rating outlook is stable based on the expectation that the
company will maintain an adequate liquidity profile with
debt/EBITDA not exceeding the mid-5.0 times range following this
leveraging transaction.

Ratings could be subject to downward pressure if there were to be a
substantial revenue decline, operating performance were to weaken
such that debt/EBITDA were to exceed and be sustained above 5.5
times, if the company were to take on material, additional debt to
finance acquisitions, or if the adequacy of Hoover's liquidity
position were to come into question.

The ratings could be upgraded if leverage (debt / EBITDA on a
Moody's adjusted basis) improves to below 4.0 times, the company
grows its revenue base and its liquidity profile improves through
greater free cash flow generation.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Equipment and
Transportation Rental Industry published in December 2014. Other
methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade
Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in
June 2009.

Hoover Container Solutions, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a
provider of chemical tanks, cargo carrying units and related
products and services to the global energy, petrochemical and
related industrial end markets.



HOOVER GROUP: S&P Assigns 'B' CCR & Rates $195MM Sr. Facility 'B'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' corporate
credit rating to fluid handling products and services provider
Hoover Group Inc. (which is also known as Hoover Container
Solutions).  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B' issue rating and '3'
recovery rating to the company's proposed $195 million senior
secured credit facility, which consists of a $30 million revolving
credit facility due 2020 and a $165 million term loan due 2022. The
'3' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful
recovery in the event of a payment default.  S&P's recovery
expectations are in the lower end of the 50% to 70% range.

"Hoover operates in the highly fragmented and competitive equipment
rental industry," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Jaissy
Lorenzo.  The business is capital intensive and the company is
relatively limited in terms of product and end-market diversity.
The company also exhibits moderate customer and geographic
concentration.  Although Hoover is exposed to cyclical end markets,
the company benefits from the relatively stable demand generated
from production-related activities in oil and gas markets. Offering
a full suite of fluid handling solutions and an integrated product
line, Hoover has a strong market position in its industry niche.

Hoover Group Inc. provides chemical tanks, cargo-carrying units,
and related products and services to the global energy,
petrochemical, and related industrial end markets.  The company
derives about 80% of revenues from oil and gas markets, with
roughly 60% of revenues tied to production activity servicing the
existing installed base of offshore and onshore wells and
platforms.  While larger than most of its smallest competitors
serving discrete local markets, with nearly $100 million in
revenues, it remains relatively small in comparison to the larger
national equipment rental companies.  The company generates roughly
75% of revenues from North America, with the remainder spread among
Europe (nearly 20% of revenues), Asia Pacific (5% of revenues), and
Latin America (1% of revenues).

Customer concentration is moderate as the top 15 customers
accounted for about 40% of fiscal 2013 revenues.  These customers
tend to be loyal since Hoover's products comprise a small
percentage of their total project cost and alternatives may be
risky given the high costs associated with failure and poor service
quality.  In addition, Hoover's full product and services suite,
and scale and geographic footprint relative to smaller competitors,
has helped the company maintain a leadership position in the
stainless steel intermediate bulk container (IBC) rental market.

The outlook is stable.  S&P expects moderate revenue growth and
stable margins will allow the company to maintain leverage around
5x.  In addition, S&P expects Hoover to continue to benefit from
the relatively stable demand generated by production-related
activities in oil and gas markets and S&P thinks that softness in
new-well activity will be offset by positive trends in industrial
and petrochemical demand.

S&P could lower the rating if it forecasts leverage approaching 6x
total debt to EBIDA or expect the company to face liquidity
constraints as a result of a decline in the company's operating
performance, rental equipment purchases leading to substantial
negative free cash flow, or from the adoption of a more-aggressive
financial policy (which may include larger-than-expected
acquisitions or distributions to its sponsor).

Although unlikely in the next two years, S&P could raise the
ratings by one notch if Hoover were to meaningfully increase its
scale, scope, and diversity and generate notably positive free
operating cash flow and if credit measures and financial policies
support a higher rating, for instance leverage sustained below 5x.

along with the associated MD&A and unaudited financial statements
for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, the six month
period ended June 30, 2014 and the nine month period ended
September 30, 2014, again with the associated MD&A and related
officer's certificates.  The Continuous Disclosure Materials can be
reviewed on SEDAR under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com

The Company is currently inactive and following the Revocation, the
Company intends to reactivate itself.  The Company does not have
any definitive plans in place for the operation of the business
going forward.  In the near term, the Company intends to seek
investment partners to raise financing in order for HPB to have
sufficient funds to carry out its business plans.

IDEARC INC: Trustee Says 5th Circ. Cut Off Its Right to Jury
------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that U.S. Bank NA, the litigation trustee for
bankrupt Idearc Inc., asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a
Fifth Circuit ruling holding it had waived its right to a jury
trial in a $9 billion fraudulent transfer suit against Verizon

argument made in motions before the trial judge that it was
entitled to have a jury hear the case, the report related.

The case is US Bank NA v. Verizon Communications Inc., case no.
14-718, in the Supreme Court of the United States.

INT'L FOREIGN EXCHANGE: Feb. 3 Hearing on Plan Approval
-------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert E. Gerber of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York on Dec. 19, 2014, approved the
disclosure statement explaining International Foreign Exchange
Concepts Holdings, Inc., et al.'s first amended liquidating plan
and scheduled the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan for
Feb. 3, 2015, at 9:45 a.m.

Objections to confirmation of the Plan must be filed on or before
Jan. 26.  The Debtors will file the tabulation affidavits no later
than Jan. 28.

As previously reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the
Debtors believe that the Plan provides the quickest recovery to
creditors and will maximize their return.  In addition, AMF-FXC
Finance, LLC ("AMF"), which has asserted claims for approximately
$34 million against each of IFEC Holdings and IFEC LP
(approximately 95% of all claims against each such entity),
similarly believes the Plan is reasonable, appropriate, and will
maximize recovery for all constituencies.

The Plan is a liquidating plan, and provides for the separate
treatment of each of the Debtors' Estates. As a result of
substantial negotiations with AMF, the Plan contemplates that all
creditors other than AMF who hold allowed general unsecured claims
will be paid on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the
Effective Date of the Plan (i) in the IFEC LP bankruptcy case,
cash in an amount equal to 50% of such claims, and (ii) in the
IFEC Holdings bankruptcy case, cash in an amount equal to 10% of
such claims. The Plan contemplates that FXC creditors will be paid
in full in cash. AMF will receive the remaining net proceeds of
the IFEC Holdings and IFEC LP Assets, which are currently
estimated to be cash in an amount equal to approximately 9% to 17%
of AMF's claims as of the Effective Date, plus rights to receive
certain payments in the future, if any.

Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that unsecured creditors of FX Concepts are expected
to be paid in full, while those with claims against International
Foreign Exchange Concepts LP and International Foreign Exchange
Concepts Holdings Inc. are predicted to recover 50 percent and 10
percent, respectively, on their claims.

IOWA HIGHER: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Rating on $65.7MM PCF Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed its 'BB' rating on $65.7 million private
college facility (PCF) revenue bonds, series 2010 and 2012, issued
by the Iowa Higher Education Loan Authority (IHELA) on behalf of
Upper Iowa University (UIU).

The Rating Outlook is revised to Stable from Negative.

SECURITY

The series 2010 and 2012 bonds are general obligations of the
university, payable from all legally available resources.  The 2012
bonds are further secured by a first mortgage lien on two dormitory
buildings.  Both issues have a debt service reserve fund.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

OPERATING IMPROVEMENT SUPPORTS OUTLOOK: Substantially improved
fiscal 2014 operating results, largely driven by expense controls
and new management, met the debt service coverage covenant but were
still negative on a GAAP basis.  Fitch expects continued
improvement in operating results in fiscal 2015, which supports a
Stable Outlook.

STRAINED BUT IMPROVED COVERAGE: The 'BB' rating reflects UIU
meeting the fiscal 2014 coverage calculation (per the bond
covenants) of at least 1.25x average annual debt service (ADS).
However, using a more conservative coverage calculation, maximum
annual debt service (MADS) coverage from operating revenues
improved significantly over fiscal 2013, but in fiscal 2014 was
still 0.87x MADS and 0.95x ADS.

ENROLLMENT: Fall 2014 enrollment improved at the Fayette campus,
but overall remains a concern for UIU as full time enrollment (FTE)
dipped 5.5%.  The enrollment decline is a concern due to UIU's very
high 94% tuition dependence, as well as net tuition revenue
declining slightly in both fiscal 2013 and 2014.

SLIM BALANCE SHEET: UIU's balance sheet ratios remain more
consistent with the 'BB' category.  In past years, Fitch considered
these low liquidity ratios partially offset by previously strong
operating performance.

HIGH DEBT BURDEN: Fitch considers UIU's 8.7% MADS burden in fiscal
2014 to be high, particularly given negative operating performance
in 2013 and improved but still negative GAAP operations in 2014.
UIU management reports no new long-term debt plans at this time.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

FAILURE TO REVERSE DEFICITS: Failure to steadily improve GAAP
operations, maintain positive MADS coverage from operating
revenues, or meet bond covenants, would result in a negative rating
action.

ADDITIONAL DEBT ISSUANCE: Issuance of additional debt prior to
stabilized financial operations, or without an increase in
resources, would result in a negative rating action.

MANAGE EXPENSES AND ENROLLMENT: UIU's ability over time to manage
expenses, grow net tuition revenue, and maintain stable to growing
enrollment would be viewed favorably, and would support a positive
rating action over time.

CREDIT PROFILE

UIU was founded in 1857 in Fayette, Iowa.  Fayette is located in
north central Iowa, about 37 miles northeast of Waterloo and 65
miles north of Cedar Rapids.  The university offers both
undergraduate and graduate level programming at its residential
Fayette campus, 20 educational extension centers mainly in the
Midwest, six international centers in two countries, and a distance
education center.

UIU's multiple education markets have been viewed favorably in the
past by Fitch but are subject to significant competition and recent
volatility.  This is particularly apparent as the non-traditional
on-line and distance programs (about 70% of operating revenue) are
essentially subsidizing full-time undergraduate students.  Students
attending on-line or at various regional academic centers have six
distinct entry points during each academic year, allowing two
full-credit courses over an eight-week term, and some student
flexibility.  Full-time students at the Fayette campus have a more
traditional two-semester calendar (although the semester has two
terms).  Overall, UIU offers 42 BA degrees, four master degrees,
and 16 certificate programs.

Deficit Operations

UIU reported a $2.6 million operating deficit for fiscal 2014
(negative 4.8% operating margin), which was a significant
improvement over fiscal 2013's $8.2 million deficit (negative
15.6%).  Fiscal 2014 results are more comparable to fiscal 2012,
which had a $1.9 million deficit (negative 4.1%).  The recent
deficits contrast with UIU's average operating surplus of 5.8% in
the prior five fiscal years (2007 - 2011).  Budget stress is
expected to continue in fiscal 2015 and 2016.

UIU's revenues are heavily student-fee concentrated (94% in fiscal
2014), and net tuition revenue decreased slightly for both fiscal
2013 (down 0.4%), and fiscal 2014 (down 0.8%).  While gross tuition
and fees increased in each of these years, so did student
discounting.  Fitch considers flat or declining net tuition revenue
to be a credit concern.  UIU projects net tuition revenue to grow
in fiscal 2015.  Improved operating results in fiscal 2014 largely
came from expense cuts of about 6.6%, in contrast to the two prior
years with 9.2% and 13.5% expense increases, respectively.  UIU
reports that about 87% of faculty are part-time and non-tenured,
which provides some expense flexibility.  Between fiscal 2014 and
2013, UIU improved its deficit operations by $5.5 million, which is
substantial in one year.

Fitch views net tuition revenue growth for the traditional
full-time Fayette campus students as limited by very high discount
rates (over 60% for fall 2014).  Thus, revenue growth is more
likely to be generated by the on-line and academic center programs.
Fitch views the Fayette campus operations as being significantly
subsidized by revenue from these non-traditional programs.

Management Turn-Over

UIU experienced significant management turnover since calendar
years 2013, which Fitch views as limiting the institution's timely
response to the fiscal 2013 operating deficit.  A new president
started in 2013, and a new provost was appointed in 2014.  In July
2014, UIU appointed a new CFO, the fourth in this position in
roughly the same number of years.  A new director of admissions for
Fayette started in mid-2013.  Additionally, UIU reports that senior
staff was re-organized with more administrators reporting to the
provost.  The provost now has responsibility for all UIU academic
programs, as well as admissions, for the Fayette campus as well as
the larger non-traditional on-line and academic center programs.
Fitch understands that UIU is re-starting its strategic planning
process, and management is focused on improving financial
performance.

Fiscal 2015 Budget

The fiscal 2015 current fund budget is balanced on a cash basis,
even with overall enrollment only 94% of initial budget
expectations.  The university budgeted a 2% salary increase for
employees, but is again deferring an employer match for retirement
accounts.  Tuition increases were implemented in fiscal 2015 for
all programs, and the Fayette campus began charging a new student
fee.  Expense controls remain in place.  Management reports that
some vacancies were not filled, that class sizes were increased for
many Fayette, on-line and academic center programs, student
retention programs were enhanced university-wide, and degree
offerings were reviewed, among many actions. A $1.2 million
contingency (subsequently increased to $1.4 million) is part of the
2015 budget, providing some flexibility.  Fitch recognizes
management's actions to address the operating deficit as both
difficult and prudent; the actions support the Stable Outlook.

UIU management projects fiscal 2015 budget results to be close to
break-even, an improvement of at least $500,000 from the final
fiscal 2014 budget results.  However, Fitch notes that GAAP
operating results can vary widely from budgetary results, even with
budgeted depreciation expense.  As a result, Fitch views
achievement of balanced GAAP operating results in fiscal 2015 as
uncertain.  In fiscal 2014, for example, UIU's budgetary result was
negative $653,000, while the audited GAAP operating result was
negative $2.6 million.

PRESSURED DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE

UIU's bond covenants include a 1.25x ADS coverage covenant, which
became effective in fiscal 2013.  Gross operating deficits in
fiscal 2013 resulted in negative 0.38x ADS coverage, well below
covenant levels.  Failure to achieve the coverage covenant was not
initially an event of default under the loan agreement, but would
be in the second full fiscal year (for UIU, fiscal 2015) following
receipt of a consultant report.   The required consultant report
has been issued.  Fiscal 2014 ADS coverage - as calculated per the
loan agreement - returned to 1.45x, which Fitch considers
positively.

Fitch's analysis uses a more conservative coverage calculation that
is based on net operating revenue (rather than gross net revenue
including non-operating operations), and MADS instead of ADS.  This
is particularly relevant to UIU, which has an increasing debt
structure: $4.3 million is due in 2014 and 2015, and MADS of $4.7
million occurs in 2016 and remains level thereafter.  MADS coverage
in fiscal 2013, as calculated by Fitch, was exceptionally weak at
negative 0.44x due to the large deficit. Management reported that
debt service payments in 2013 were supported by unencumbered
financial resources, without drawing on the debt service reserve.
For fiscal 2014, MADS coverage improved to 0.87x, and annual
coverage was 0.97x.  Fitch notes the strong improvement, but
coverage remains weak.

Weak Balance Sheet

UIU's available funds (AF, defined by Fitch as cash and investments
less permanently restricted net assets) were $13.8 million at the
end of fiscal 2014, essentially the same amount as fiscal 2013.
This equaled a slim 24% of expenses and 18% of debt, levels that
are comparable to the 'BB' rating category for private
universities.  As part of the AF calculation, Fitch notes that
unrestricted endowment of $4 million at June 30, 2014 (part of
$11.47 million total endowment) is quite low compared to peer
private institutions.

Stressed Enrollment

UIU's FTE enrollment has fluctuated modestly over the last five
academic years, ranging from 5,139 in fall 2012 to 5,555 in fall
2011.  However, it dipped 5.5% in fall 2014 to 5,034 compared to
5,327 in fall 2013.  The decline was largely related to on-line and
academic center enrollment, which represents about 80% of UIU's
enrollment.  Management reports that overall enrollment for fall
2014 was 94% of initial budget expectations, but that expenses were
adjusted to achieve balance.  Management reports the decline came
from multiple causes, including UIU marketing changes, increased
tuition, and military students deferring enrollment due to federal
funding not being released when expected.  Because the decline was
primarily in older, non-traditional students who tend to take more
part-time classes and may enroll year-round, including about 17%
military related students, there is potential in the current 2015
fiscal year for annualized enrollment to improve.  For fall 2014,
traditional undergraduate enrollment at the Fayette campus
increased 8.5% to 1,093, and exceeded enrollment targets (but not
budget targets). In addition to new undergraduate marketing
initiatives, UIU reported that about one-third of the fall 2014
freshmen were international students.

Non-traditional students (both on-line and at 20 U.S. academic
centers and several international centers) have multiple entry
points in UIU's academic calendar, making full-year revenue
projections difficult.  UIU operations rely heavily on
non-traditional student revenue which is subject to significant
competition.  Many full-time undergraduates come from Iowa or
surrounding Midwest states, which have declining numbers of high
school students.

High Debt Leverage

UIU debt totaled $76.7 million at June 30, 2014, including a $1
million bank line draw, $8.8 million operating leases, and $65.77
million series 2010 and 2012 bonds.  The bonds are fixed rate and
have an increasing debt service structure through 2016 and
essentially level debt service thereafter.  UIU's operating leases
are primarily related to its various academic sites.  The
university has a $2 million bank line, with a $1 million draw
outstanding at the end of fiscal 2014.  Management reports the draw
has subsequently been reduced, and the balance repaid in December,
2014.  No further draws are expected in fiscal 2015.

Bond covenants include a 1.25x ADS coverage test, which was not met
in 2013 (the year the covenant became effective), and an
unrestricted net asset test of 25% of outstanding debt (which was
achieved in both 2014 and 2013).  Importantly, UIU met the debt
service covenant test in fiscal 2014 based on loan agreement
calculations.  Failure to achieve pledged coverage is not an
immediate event of default under the loan agreement.  UIU was
required to hire a consultant, and did so.  The university is
required to achieve pledged coverage within one full fiscal year
after the consultant issues recommendations (fiscal 2015, but did
so in 2014).  Only if the 1.25x coverage test is not achieved in
the required time does it become an event of default.

As discussed in 'Pressured Debt Service Coverage', Fitch uses a
more conservative coverage calculation in its analytical review of
all higher education institutions.  Under that calculation, MADS
and ADS coverage improved substantially in fiscal 2014 but remained
short of 1.0x.  In Fitch's view this tight coverage indicates that
UIU's credit quality is not presently investment grade.

JAMES RIVER: Plan Filing Date Extended to March 13
--------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court extended
James River Coal's exclusive period to file a plan through and
including March 13, 2015, and its exclusive period to solicit
acceptances through and including May 12.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the James
River Coal and its debtor affiliates relate that since the approval
and closing of the sale of substantially all of their assets,
including the Hampden Mining Complex, the Hazard Mining Complex,
and the Triad Mining Complex, they have focused principally on
marketing and efforts to sell their remaining assets and preserving
cash held in their estates.  The extension of the exclusive
periods, the Debtors say, will advance their efforts to maximize
value for their creditors and increase the prospects of an orderly
conclusion of their Chapter 11 cases.

                        About James River

JC PENNEY: Reports Strong Sales Growth
--------------------------------------
Suzanne Kapner, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
J.C. Penney Co. on Jan. 5 reported stronger-than-expected sales for
the holiday period, sending the beleaguered department-store
chain’s stock soaring 20% and provided a positive first indicator
for how retailers fared over the year-end shopping bonanza.

According to the report, Penney said sales rose 3.7% in the nine
weeks through the end of December, excluding newly opened and newly
closed stores.  The strong result led the company to say its
fourth-quarter sales growth should come in at the high end of a
forecast range of 2% to 4% from a year ago, the Journal added.

                         About J.C. Penney

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.

                           *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter, on March 5, 2014, reported that
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on J.C.
Penney Co. Inc. to stable from negative.  At the same time, S&P
affirmed all other ratings, including the 'CCC+' corporate credit
rating, on the company.

The Troubled Company Reporter, on May 21, 2014, reported that
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) of
J.C. Penney Co., Inc. and J.C. Penney Corporation, Inc. at 'CCC'
and assigned a Positive Outlook.

On June 6, 2014, the Troubled Company Reporter said Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services assigned a 'B' issue level rating to J.C.
Penney Corp. Inc.'s $1.85 billion ABL revolving credit facility
and $500 million senior secured first-in last-out term loan with a
'1' recovery rating, indicating S&P's expectation for very high
(90%-100%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  S&P
affirmed all other ratings, including the 'CCC+' corporate credit
rating on parent company J.C. Penney Co. Inc.  The outlook is
stable.

On the same date, Moody's Investors Service rated J.C. Penney
Corporation, Inc.'s proposed asset based revolving credit facility
at B1 and its proposed asset based term loan at B2. At the same
time, Moody's affirmed J.C. Penney Company, Inc.'s Caa1 Corporate
Family Rating ("CFR"), Caa1-PD Probability of Default Rating, and
SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating. The rating outlook
remains negative.

In September 2014, Moody's rated J.C. Penney's proposed senior
unsecured notes Caa2. At the same time, Moody's affirmed J.C.
Penney Company, Inc.'s Caa1 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR"), Caa1
- PD Probability of Default Rating, and SGL-3 Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating. The rating outlook remains negative.

Standard & Poor's, on the same month, assigned its 'CCC-' issue-
level rating and '6' recovery rating to J.C. Penney Corp. Inc.'s
proposed $350 million senior unsecured notes due 2019.  The '6'
recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for negligible
recovery (0%-10%) in a payment default scenario.  The company
intends to use proceeds from the offering to repay debt.  S&P
views the proposed offering and debt repayment as credit neutral
based upon expected debt levels being relatively unchanged.

Likewise, Fitch has assigned a rating of 'CCC/RR4' to J.C.
Penney's proposed issue of five-year $350 million senior unsecured
notes.  The Rating Outlook is Positive.

On Oct. 1, 2014, Moody's affirmed J.C. Penney's Caa1 Corporate
Family Rating, Caa1 - PD Probability of Default Rating, and senior
unsecured notes. At the same time, Moody's changed J.C. Penney's
rating outlook to stable from negative. The change in outlook was
prompted by the successful closing of $400 million senior
unsecured notes which will be used to fund the partial tender
offer for J.C. Penney's $200 million 6.875% notes due October
2015, $200 million 7.675% notes due August 2016, and $285 million
7.95% notes due April 2017. At the same time, Moody's changed the
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating to SGL-2 from SGL-3 due to
improved operating performance and extension of the debt maturity
schedule.


JOHN ALTORELLI: Schedules Reveal $196,000 Monthly Expense
---------------------------------------------------------
Sara Randazzo, writing for The Wall Street Journal, reported that
former Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP partner, John Altorelli, filed schedules
of assets and liabilities in his Chapter 7 bankruptcy case,
disclosing that a monthly income of $135,000 and more than $196,000
in monthly expenses.

According to the Journal, many of the former Dewey partner's
expense stem from real estate, including a $19,000 monthly rent for
an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and $11,756 per month
in mortgage payments for his seven-bedroom home in New Milford,
Conn.  The Journal added that Mr. Altorelli is also paying $7,450 a
month for a car service, nearly $25,000 in alimony and hefty tax
obligations.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, Mr.
Altorelli, who was sued for $12.9 million in the wake of the law
firm's collapse, filed for personal bankruptcy to halt the

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, 2012.
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, 2012, 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.

FTI Consulting, Inc. was appointed secured lender trustee for the
Secured Lender Trust.  Alan Jacobs of AMJ Advisors LLC, was named
Dewey's liquidation trustee.  Scott E. Ratner, Esq., Frank A.
Oswald, Esq., David A. Paul, Esq., Steven S. Flores, Esq., at
Togut, Segal & Segal LLP, serve as counsel to the Liquidation
Trustee.

Dewey's liquidating Chapter 11 plan was approved by the bankruptcy
court in February 2013 and implemented a month later.  The plan
created
a trust to collect and distribute remaining assets.  The firm
estimated that midpoint recoveries for secured and unsecured
creditors under the plan would be 58.4 percent and 9.1 percent,
respectively.


JSC ALLIANCE: Restructuring Plan Enforced by U.S. Court
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean H. Lane in Manhattan
signed an order finding Kazakhstan home to the "foreign main
proceeding" of JSC Alliance Bank's bankruptcy.

According to the report, Judge Lane also agreed to enforce JSC
Alliance's restructuring plan and related orders in the U.S.  The
Kazakh court approved the restructuring on Dec. 11, the report
related.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the
Restructuring Plan is premised on the Bank's consolidation
with two other Kazakhstan banks controlled by Mr. Utemuratov,
Temirbank and ForteBank.  The primary purpose of the consolidation
is to contribute Temirbank's and ForteBank's capital surplus to
the restoration of the Bank's regulatory capital.

The Bank, Temirbank and ForteBank will be consolidated into the
Combined Bank at their respective book values of equity, as
adjusted to reflect each bank's contribution of tax attributes to
the Combined Bank. Under this proposed structure, shareholders of
Temirbank are expected to receive 64.24% of the Combined Bank's
common shares, shareholders of ForteBank are expected to receive
25.42% of the Combined Bank's common shares, and (mostly new)
shareholders of the Bank are expected to receive 10.34% of the
Combined Bank's common shares and 100% of the Combined Bank's
preferences shares.

As a result, the proposed shareholdings of the Combined Bank as of
the closing of the Restructuring (as calculated as of October 13,
2014) are expected to be: (i) Mr. Utemuratov owning 76.47% of the
common shares and 20.02% of the preference shares, (ii) the
claimants of the Bank owning 10.32% of the common shares; (iii)
the Petitioner owning 4.68% of the common shares, (iv) Samruk-
Kazyna holding .01% of the common shares and 51.00% of the
preference shares, and (v) other shareholders of Temirbank
and ForteBank holding the remaining minority of common shares.
Existing shareholders of the Bank are expected to have their
common shares diluted below .01% and to own 28.98% of the
preference shares.

                      About JSC Alliance Bank

LIGHTSTREAM RESOURCE: Moody's Cuts Corporate Family Rating to B3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Lightstream Resource's
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to B3 from B2, Probability of Default
Rating to B3-PD from B2-PD, and its senior unsecured notes rating
to Caa2 from Caa1. Moody's also lowered the Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating to SGL-4 from SGL-3. The rating outlook was
changed to negative from stable.

"The downgrade reflects Lightstream's declining production and our
expectation that the downward commodity cycle will result in a
decrease to the revolver commitment level in Q2 2015." says Paresh
Chari, Moody's Analyst. "Lower projected EBITDA is also expected to
pressure a leverage covenant, which will require relief from its
banks."

Downgrades:

Issuer: Lightstream Resources Ltd

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

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

  Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to B3 from B2

  Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture Feb 1, 2020, Downgraded
to Caa2 from Caa1

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Lightstream Resources Ltd

  Outlook, Changed To Negative From Stable

Rating Rationale

The B3 CFR primarily reflects Lightstream's weak liquidity
position, high debt level, very low leveraged full-cycle ratio
(LFCR), and a base decline rate that requires significant
sustaining capex to maintain production. The rating is supported by
the company's size in terms of production and reserves, and
adequate cash margins.

The SGL-4 rating reflects weak liquidity through 2015. As of
September 30, 2014, Lightstream had no cash and about C$655 million
available under its C$1.15 billion revolving credit facility due
June 2017. The majority of lenders have an option for a borrowing
base determination, expected to occur in Q2 2015, which Moody's
expect will result in a lower commitment level than the C$1.15
billion. Moody's expect Lightstream to fund negative free cash flow
of C$85 million in 2015 through the revolver. Moody's expect
Lightstream to breach the total debt to EBITDA covenant in 2015
(secured debt to EBITDA less than 3x, total debt to EBITDA less
than 4x, debt to capitalization less than 50%) and it will need to
renegotiate with its lenders to get relief. Alternate liquidity is
limited given that substantially all of the company's assets are
pledged under the revolver. If Lightstream is successful in selling
its remaining core Bakken properties then the proceeds would go to
repaying debt including drawings under the revolver and there would
be a reduction in the commitment level.

In accordance with Moody's Loss Given Default methodology the
senior unsecured notes are rated Caa2, two notches below the B3 CFR
due to the large amount of priority-ranking debt in the capital
structure in the form of the secured revolver.

The negative outlook reflects Lightstream's declining production
from lower investment and lower projected EBITDA that is expected
to pressure a leverage covenant which would require relief from the
banks. If Lightstream can get covenant relief and maintain adequate
liquidity while keeping production above 20,000 Boe/d and E&P debt
to average daily production at about US$50,000/Boe, the outlook
could be stabilized.

The rating could be downgraded if Lightstream's liquidity appears
to be insufficient or if debt to production is likely to be
sustained above US$70,000/boe.

The rating could be upgraded if Lightstream's E&P debt to average
daily production approaches US$40,000/boe on a sustainable basis,
and the LFCR exceeds 1x.

Lightstream, a Calgary, Alberta-based oil and gas exploration and
production company, is focused on developing light oil resources in
the Saskatchewan Bakken formation and the Cardium formation in
central Alberta.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Independent Exploration and Production Industry published in
December 2011. Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default
for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada
and EMEA published in June 2009.



LIONS GATE: S&P Raises CCR to 'BB-' on Better Earnings Visibility
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it raised its ratings
on Santa Monica, Calif.-based Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.,
including the corporate credit rating, to 'BB-' from 'B+'.  The
outlook is stable.

"The upgrades reflect our expectations that Lions Gate revenue and
cash flow visibility will improve over the next two years," said
Standard & Poor's credit analyst Naveen Sarma.  "We believe that
Lions Gate's strategy of focusing on selected larger budget film
franchises and moderate cost films, while preselling certain rights
to reduce the financial risk to the company, improves visibility
into its future earnings."

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectations that the company
will broaden its cash flow base by firmly establishing new film
franchises, expanding its film library cash flow, and growing its
TV production segment profitably--all of which could reduce
earnings volatility.  As a result, S&P expects that discretionary
cash flow to debt (including production loans) will remain above
20% through fiscal 2016.  S&P expects quarterly earnings and cash
flow to still fluctuate widely, depending on the timing and success
of new releases.  Although the outlook is stable, S&P considers a
downgrade more likely than an upgrade over the next few years.

S&P could lower the rating if the company deviates from its current
strategy of focusing on moderate-cost films and selected franchise
films.  A shift that involves higher average cost films or a higher
annual output with fewer franchise films could result in more
earnings and cash flow volatility.  Additionally, a significant
debt-financed acquisition that we conclude will push discretionary
cash flow to debt (including production loans) below 20%, with no
prospects for returning above 20%, could result in a downgrade.
Increases in shareholder-favoring actions that also push
discretionary cash flow to debt (including production loans) below
20% could result in a downgrade.

S&P considers an upgrade as highly unlikely during the next two
years.  S&P could raise the rating if the company significantly
reduces its cash flow volatility.  This could involve developing
new film franchises that register box office success following the
conclusion of the current franchises, ensuring healthy ongoing
EBITDA and positive discretionary cash flow.  Profitable growth of
the TV production segment, which could reduce earnings volatility
and improve margins, would likely be an important contributor to an
upgrade scenario.

MILLER AUTO: Can't File Chapter 11 Plan Until July 13
-----------------------------------------------------
Miller Auto Parts & Supply Company Inc. and its debtor-affiliates
ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia
to further extend their exclusive periods to file one or more
Chapter 11 plan(s) through and including July 13, 2015, and solicit
acceptance thereto through and including Sept. 11, 2015.

The Debtors' current exclusive period to file a plan will expire on
Jan. 13, 2015, absent an extension.

According to court documents, the Debtors and the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors are working together to identify
and liquidate remaining assets as well as evaluate potential causes
of action.  The Debtors say they need more time to determine the
best course of action to propose in one or more Chapter 11 plan(s).
Thus, cause exists to extend the deadlines for filing one or more
Chapter 11 plan(s) and soliciting acceptances thereto for an
additional 180 days through.  The Committee supports the requested
extension, the Debtors note.

The Debtors tell the Court that the proposed deadline will give
creditors more than 75 days of prepare and file their claims, and

MISSION NEWENERGY: Delays Sale of 250K tpa Biodiesel in Malaysia
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mission NewEnergy Limited announced that the sale of its 250,000
tpa biodiesel refinery located in Kuantan Port, East Malaysia, to
the new joint venture company and the reinvestment of part of the
proceeds to gain a 20% stake in the joint venture as announced in
September 2014 has been delayed.  The closing of the Transaction is
now expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015, the
Company disclosed in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission.

Mission also wishes to revise a reporting deficiency and advise the
that the holder of record of its outstanding series four
convertible notes is Noble Haus Asia Ltd a British Virgin Island
Company.

                      About Mission NewEnergy

Based in Subiaco, Western Australia, Mission NewEnergy Limited is
a producer of biodiesel that integrates sustainable biodiesel
feedstock cultivation, biodiesel production and wholesale
biodiesel distribution focused on the government mandated markets
of the United States and Europe.

The Company is not operating its biodiesel refining segment.  The
refineries are being held in care and maintenance either awaiting
a return to positive operating conditions or the sale of assets.

The Company has materially diminished its Jatropha contract
farming operation and the company is now focused on divesting the
remaining Indian assets.  The Company intends to cease all Indian
operations.

Mission NewEnergy reported a net loss of $1.09 million on $9.68
million of total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2014,
compared to net income of $10.05 million on $8.41 million of total
revenue during the prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed $4.04 million
in total assets, $15.40 million in total liabilities and a $11.35
million total deficiency.

BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, in Perth, Western Australia, issued a
"going concern" qualification on the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.  The independent
auditors noted that the Company incurred operating cash outflows
of $3.7 million during the year ended 30 June 2013 and, as of that
date the consolidated entity's total liability exceeded its total
assets by $12.5 million.  These conditions, along with other
matters, raise substantial doubt the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern.

MOLYCORP INC: Fails to Comply with NYSE's $1 Min. Bid Price Rule
----------------------------------------------------------------
Molycorp, Inc., announced that on Dec. 30, 2014, it was notified by
the New York Stock Exchange that its common stock is not in
compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standard that requires
a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over a period of
30 consecutive trading days.

Under the NYSE's rules, the Company has a period of six months from
the date of the NYSE notice to bring its 30-day average share price
back above $1.00.  During this period, the Company's common stock
will continue to be traded on the NYSE, subject to the Company's
compliance with other NYSE listing requirements.  The Company said
it will notify the NYSE of its intent to cure this deficiency.

The Company's business operations, reporting requirements, credit
agreements, and other debt obligations currently are unaffected by
this notification.

                          About Molycorp

Molycorp Inc. -- http://www.molycorp.com-- produces specialized
products from 13 different rare earths (lights, mids and heavies),
the transition metal yttrium, and five rare metals (gallium,
indium, rhenium, tantalum and niobium).  It has 26 locations across
11 countries.  Through its joint venture with Daido Steel and the
Mitsubishi Corporation, Molycorp manufactures next-generation,
sintered neodymium-iron-boron ("NdFeB") permanent rare earth
magnets.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2014, showed
$2.96 billion in total assets and $1.83 billion in total
liabilities.

                           *     *     *

In June 2014, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the corporate
family rating of Molycorp to 'Caa2' from 'Caa1'.  The downgrade
reflects continued weakness in rare earths pricing environment,
ongoing negative free cash flows, weak liquidity and high
leverage.

As reported by the TCR on Dec. 12, 2014, Molycorp has a 'CCC+'
corporate credit rating, with negative outlook, from Standard &
Poor's.  "The negative outlook reflects our view that Molycorp's
business and financial condition will become increasingly
precarious unless the Mountain Pass facility can be brought to full
production capacity," said S&P's credit analyst Cheryl Richer.

MORRIS BROWN: Plan Has $10.5 Million for AME Church
---------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle and Sherri Toub, bankruptcy columnists for Bloomberg
News, reported that Morris Brown College negotiated a settlement
with its Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the African
Methodist Episcopal Church Inc., the secured creditor, allowing the
filing of a Chapter 11 plan in December.

According to the report, for its $18 million claim, the church will

retain a $3.5 million security interest in unsold college property.
Most of the assets went to the Atlanta Development Authority and
Friendship Baptist Church for $14.5 million, the report said.

Unsecured creditors, with claims ranging from $6.4 million to $9.5
million, will share $300,000 for a recovery estimated between 3
percent and 5 percent, the report related.

NATIONAL AIR: Moody's Lowers B747-400 Financing Rating to Caa1
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed National Air Cargo Holdings,
Inc.: ("NAC") Corporate Family ("CFR") and Probability of Default
ratings at Caa2 and Caa2-PD, respectively, and downgraded the
senior secured rating assigned to the company's B747-400 conversion
freighter financing to Caa1 from B3. The outlook is stable.

Ratings Rationale

The Caa2 CFR considers the improvement in earnings that the company
realized in 2014 as it more aggressively managed its operating
expenses during periods of low utilization of its owned aircraft.
Furloughs of flight crews including flight attendants at its
airline subsidiary was a primary tactic. Subsidiaries of NAC own
two B747-400 conversion freighter and two B757-200ER passenger
aircraft. Freight and passenger demand related to response efforts
by the US military to the ebola crisis in West Africa, incremental
demand for troop movements in other theaters of operation and some
charter operations increased aircraft utilization in the second
half of 2014. However, Moody's believes that demand for the
company's air transportation services will remain cyclical,
sustaining significant uncertainty in forecasts of its future
financial performance.

The downgrade of the senior secured rating to Caa1 reflects Moody's
estimate of a loan-to-value in excess of 90%, leaving little, if
any, cushion for noteholders in the event the company does not fund
the final payment at the respective maturity of the notes that
finance each aircraft in either September or October 2015. The
company's liquidity is such that paying off the rated notes at
maturity from internal sources is not likely. Current forecasts of
global economic growth of about three percent (Moody's
Macroeconomic Board) in 2015, slowing economic growth in Asia and
weakening of currencies against the US dollar will prevent a
meaningful increase in demand for air freight in 2015 that would
revive demand for four-engine freighters like the B747-400. As the
least fuel efficient long-range freighter, values of the B747-400
are likely to face sustained pressure in 2015, weighing on
estimates of loan-to-value.

The Caa2 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") reflects the company's
relatively small size, high reliance on the U.S. Department of
Defense ("DoD") for a significant portion of its revenue,
cyclically weak demand from the commercial sector and weak
liquidity. However, the company's freight-forwarding operation
helps it continue to meet the debt service obligations on its
modest aircraft mortgage debt.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's belief that the company can
continue to service its debt obligations notwithstanding the
headwinds it faces from its largest customer, the DoD. Moody's
foresee little, if any, upwards pressure on the ratings before
there is clarity on how the company will fund the maturities of the
rated senior secured notes. The ratings would face a downgrade if
it became apparent that the company would no longer be able to fund
its debt service obligations. A significant falloff in the
utilization rate of the B757 passenger aircraft or the B747
freighters or in freight-forwarding demand would need to occur for
this to happen.

NCI BUILDING: Moody's Rates 250MM Notes B3, Lowers Outlook to Neg
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to the proposed new
$250 million of senior unsecured notes due 2023 of NCI Building
Systems, Inc., proceeds of which will be used to finance the $245
million acquisition of CENTRIA, Inc. In the same rating action,
Moody's affirmed the company's corporate family rating of B1 and
probability of default rating of B1-PD, and Moody's raised the
rating on the company's senior secured term loan to Ba3 from B2 .
Moody's also raised the speculative grade liquidity rating to SGL-2
from SGL-3. The rating outlook was revised down to negative from
stable.

The following rating actions were taken:

  Corporate Family Rating, affirmed at B1;

  Probability of Default Rating, affirmed at B1-PD;

  $235.4 million (current amount) senior secured term loan due
2019, raised to Ba3 (LGD3) from B2 (LGD4);

  $250 million of senior unsecured notes due 2023, assigned a B3
(LGD5);

  Speculative grade liquidity assessment, raised to SGL-2 from
SGL-3;

  Outlook changed to negative from stable

Ratings Rationale

The change in rating outlook to negative from stable incorporates
the rise in the company's debt leverage. If the company can drive
its debt leverage down quickly, as it expects, Moody's will likely
restore the stable outlook. If it performs below expectations in
the next year, the rating will likely be lowered. Separately, the
upgrade of the senior secured term loan is not a credit event. It
instead considers the additional loss absorption provided for the
term loan by the proposed new senior unsecured notes.

The B1 corporate family rating reflects NCI's adjusted debt
leverage of 4.2x, which will rise to 5.9x, pro forma for the $250
million note offering. (Moody's adjusted balance sheet debt
includes an additional $ 82 million to account for pension
liabilities and operating lease commitments). The rating also
acknowledges NCI's weak operating profitability and Moody's
expectations that the adjusted EBITA margin will remain in the
low-single digits over the next 12 months, even with the company's
anticipated improvement.

At the same time, however, Moody's see some positive signals from
the non-residential construction sector. According to the
Architectural Billings Index (ABI) provided by the American
Institute of Architecture, which is generally viewed as a leading
indicator of US non-residential construction activity over the next
nine to 12 months, demand is expected to continue growing over the
near term, albeit at a slower pace than Moody's initially expected.
The index has been above 50 (indicating expansion) for eight
consecutive months, and stood at 52.6 in November, vs. the trough
level of 34.7 reported in January 2009. In addition, NCI's severe
weather-related issues experienced during the first half of fiscal
2014 are now seemingly behind the company, and barring another
unseasonably cold winter season in 2015, revenues and profits
should continue to increase. If demand in the non-residential
construction sector continues to grow at the current pace, and NCI
is successful at increasing its penetration with CENTRIA in the
upper end insulated metal panel market, and the company will have
taken as much costs out of the business as Moody's anticipate,
Moody's project that adjusted debt-to-EBITDA could approach 4x over
the next 12 months. The key, of course, will be the company's
execution.

NCI's liquidity is supported by a $150 million asset-based
revolving credit facility ("ABL") due 2019, which is not rated by
Moody's. Availability under the revolver is determined by a monthly
borrowing base calculation. The facility was undrawn as of November
2, 2014 and had remaining availability of $135.4 million after
accounting for $8.1 million of outstanding letter of credit
commitments. This facility has a springing 1:1 fixed charge
coverage if the company fails to maintain a minimum borrowing
capacity. The company's term loan, as amended in 2013, no longer
has a debt leverage covenant. The company had a cash balance of
$66.7 million as of November 2, 2014 and has a history of free cash
flow generation, particularly during the second half of the year.
The company also has no maturing term debt until 2019, when the
term loan and revolver come due, which provides the company
financial flexibility while it awaits a more substantial recovery
in its end markets.

The ratings and/or outlook could improve if NCI is able to generate
adjusted EBITA margins greater than 5.0%, adjusted
EBITA-to-interest expense approaching 3.0x, and adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA below 4.0x, all on a sustained basis. In addition,
the company would also need to resolve its ultimate ownership, as
private equity-owned companies typically do not achieve Ba rating
status.

The ratings will likely be lowered unless NCI brings its adjusted
debt leverage down quickly and improves its other key metrics.
Specifically, if NCI reports operating losses on a trailing
12-month basis, generates adjusted EBITA-to-interest expense below
1.0x, or maintains an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA above 5.5x, the
rating will be lowered. Also, if the company begins generating
negative adjusted free cash flow, engages in another material
debt-financed acquisition, or if conditions in the non-residential
construction sector again deteriorate, the rating will be lowered.

The Ba3 rating assigned to the $235.4 million senior secured term
loan due 2019 (originally $240 million) is one notch above the
corporate family rating of B1. Even though it is structurally
subordinated to the ABL in NCI's capital structure, it benefits
greatly from the loss absorption provided by the new senor
unsecured notes. The term loan also benefits from a first-priority
interest in all assets not pledged to the ABL and a second-priority
interest in the ABL assets.

NCI Building Systems, Inc. ("NCI") is one of North America's
largest integrated manufacturers of metal products for the
nonresidential building industry. During its 2014 fiscal year that
ended November 2, 2014, the company generated revenues and
Moody's-adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.4 billion and $67
million, respectively (excluding Centria). Clayton, Dubilier & Rice
("CD&R"), through its investment funds, owns approximately 59% of
NCI as of November 2, 2014.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Manufacturing Companies published in July 2014. Other methodologies
used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial
Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.



NCI BUILDING: S&P Revises Outlook to Negative & Affirms 'B+' CCR
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it revised its rating
outlook on Houston-based NCI Building Systems Inc.  S&P also
affirmed its 'B+' corporate credit rating on the company.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B+' issue-level rating (the
same as the corporate credit rating) to the company's proposed 250
million of unsecured notes due 2023.  The recovery rating is '4',
which indicates S&P's expectation of average (30% to 50%) recovery
for lenders in the event of a default.

"The negative outlook reflects what we view as a substantial amount
of additional financial leverage sustained by the company to fund
its acquisition," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Pablo
Garces.

S&P expects the company's leverage to increase to 5.6x and remain
elevated above 5x for the next 12 months due to the proposed $250
million note offering.  S&P also expects the company to continue to
maintain strong liquidity based on committed revolving borrowing
capacity and modest capital spending, as well as for leverage
levels to decrease to 5.1x at the end of fiscal 2015.

S&P could lower its rating on NCI if the company does not
demonstrate a consistent commitment to deleverage toward the 5x
mark in 2015.  S&P could also consider lowering its rating if a
moderate recession caused a reversal in nonresidential construction
trends such that NCI's EBITDA levels after the acquisition were
below $85 million, resulting in debt leverage approaching 6x.
However, S&P's economists think there is only a 10% to 15%
probability of a new recession.

S&P could raise its corporate credit rating by one notch if NCI's
operating performance exceeds S&P's forecast levels, which would
reduce debt leverage on an adjusted basis to below 5x in the next
12 months, and consistently remained at such levels.  This would be
consistent with an "aggressive" financial risk profile, as defined
in S&P's criteria.  Also necessary for an upgrade would be a
commitment from NCI's owners/management that the risk of
releveraging was low.

S&P could also raise its ratings if CD&R further divests its
ownership in NCI to below 40% and relinquishes any remaining
operational and strategic control, in accordance with S&P's
criteria regarding companies owned by financial sponsors.  An
upgrade in this case would require a neutral or positive financial
policy framework for NCI after CD&R's exit.

NORTEL NETWORKS: Rockstar Sells Off 4,000 Patents to RPX for $900M
------------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that patent risk management firm RPX Corp. agreed
to pay $900 million to purchase about 4,000 patents owned by
Rockstar Consortium Inc., the licensing group backed by tech giants
including Apple Inc. and Microsoft Inc. that bought patents from
bankrupt Nortel Networks Corp., then sued Google Inc. and others
for infringement.

According to the report, RPX said Rockstar, formed in 2011 by
Apple, Microsoft, BlackBerry Ltd., Ericsson Inc. and Sony Corp. to
purchase Nortel's 6,000 patents for $4.5 billion, have distributed
2,000 of the patents among themselves, so they are not being sold.

The 4,000 patents that are part of the deal will be licensed to a
syndicate of more than 30 companies, including Google and Cisco
Systems Inc., which have faced patent suits from Rockstar, RPX CEO
John A. Amster said in a statement, the report related.

                       About Nortel Networks

Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, Nortel Networks Corporation and
its various affiliated entities provided next-generation
technologies, for both service provider and enterprise networks,
support multimedia and business-critical applications.  Nortel did
business in more than 150 countries around the world.  Nortel
Networks Limited was the principal direct operating subsidiary of
Nortel Networks Corporation.

On Jan. 14, 2009, Nortel Networks Inc.'s ultimate corporate parent
Nortel Networks Corporation, NNI's direct corporate parent Nortel
Networks Limited and certain of their Canadian affiliates
commenced a proceeding with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) seeking
relief from their creditors.  Ernst & Young was appointed to serve
as monitor and foreign representative of the Canadian Nortel
Group.  That same day, the Monitor sought recognition of the CCAA
Proceedings in U.S. Bankruptcy Court (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
09-10164) under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

That same day, NNI and certain of its affiliated U.S. entities
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 09-10138).

In addition, the High Court of England and Wales placed 19 of
NNI's European affiliates into administration under the control of
individuals from Ernst & Young LLP.  Other Nortel affiliates have
commenced and in the future may commence additional creditor
protection, insolvency and dissolution proceedings around the
world.

On May 28, 2009, at the request of administrators, the Commercial
Court of Versailles, France, ordered the commencement of secondary
proceedings in respect of Nortel Networks S.A.  On June 8, 2009,
Nortel Networks UK Limited filed petitions in U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for recognition of the English Proceedings as foreign main
proceedings under Chapter 15.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross presides over the Chapter 11 and
15 cases.  Mary Caloway, Esq., and Peter James Duhig, Esq., at
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, in Wilmington, Delaware, serves as
Chapter 15 petitioner's counsel.

In the Chapter 11 case, James L. Bromley, Esq., and Howard S.
Zelbo, Esq., at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, LLP, in New
York, serve as the U.S. Debtors' general bankruptcy counsel; Derek
C. Abbott, Esq., at Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell LLP, in
Wilmington, serves as Delaware counsel.  The Chapter 11 Debtors'
other professionals are Lazard Freres & Co. LLC as financial
advisors; and Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC as claims and notice
agent.

The U.S. Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors in respect of the U.S. Debtors.  Fred S. Hodara, Esq.,
at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, in New York, and
Christopher M. Samis, Esq., and Mark D. Collins, Esq., at
Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., in Wilmington, Delaware,
represent the Unsecured Creditors Committee.

An ad hoc group of bondholders also was organized.  An Official
Committee of Retired Employees and the Official Committee of Long-
Term Disability Participants tapped Alvarez & Marsal Healthcare
Industry Group as financial advisor.  The Retiree Committee is
represented by McCarter & English LLP as Delaware counsel, and
Togut Segal & Segal serves as the Retiree Committee.  The
Committee retained Alvarez & Marsal Healthcare Industry Group as
financial advisor, and Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as its
communications agent.

Several entities, particularly, Nortel Government Solutions
Incorporated and Nortel Networks (CALA) Inc., have material
operations and are not part of the bankruptcy proceedings.

As of Sept. 30, 2008, Nortel Networks Corp. reported consolidated
assets of $11.6 billion and consolidated liabilities of $11.8
billion.  The Nortel Companies' U.S. businesses are primarily
conducted through Nortel Networks Inc., which is the parent of
majority of the U.S. Nortel Companies.  As of Sept. 30, 2008, NNI
had assets of about $9 billion and liabilities of $3.2 billion,
which do not include NNI's guarantee of some or all of the Nortel
Companies' about $4.2 billion of unsecured public debt.

Since the commencement of the various insolvency proceedings,
Nortel has sold its business units and other assets to various
purchasers.  Nortel has collected roughly $9 billion for
distribution to creditors.  Of the total, $4.5 billion came from
the sale of Nortel's patent portfolio to Rockstar Bidco, a
consortium consisting of Apple Inc., EMC Corporation,
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Microsoft Corp., Research In
Motion Limited, and Sony Corporation.  The consortium defeated a
$900 million stalking horse bid by Google Inc. at an auction.  The
deal closed in July 2011.

Nortel has filed a proposed plan of liquidation in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court.  The Plan generally provides for full payment on
secured claims with other distributions going in accordance with
the priorities in bankruptcy law.

The trial on how to divide proceeds among creditors in the U.S.,
Canada, and Europe commenced on Sept. 22, 2014.


OCZ TECHNOLOGY: Trustee Says Class Plaintiffs Flouted Ch. 11 Stay
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Law360 reported that Peter S. Kravitz, the liquidation trustee for
OCZ Technology Group Inc.'s estate, told a Delaware bankruptcy
judge that the lead plaintiffs in a California class action against
the debtor's former brass willfully violated the automatic stay by
trying to push through a settlement and asked to be awarded
damages.

According to the report, the liquidation trustee argued that the
plaintiffs in the California case willfully ignored the bankruptcy
rule that halts other litigation when it asked a Golden State
federal court to approve a $7.5 million settlement, a move he said
was made without informing the estate or the court in Delaware.

The shareholder suit is In re: OCZ Technology Group Inc. Securities
Litigation, case number 3:12-cv-05265, in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of California.

                             About OCZ

OPENTEXT CORP: Moody's Rates on New Sr. Unsecured Notes 'Ba2'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba2 rating to OpenText Corp.'s
proposed senior unsecured notes. The Ba1 Corporate Family Rating
and all other ratings are unchanged. The ratings outlook remains
negative.

Proceeds of the new notes, due 2024, will be used to refinance the
outstanding balance of the $600 million senior secured term loan A,
as well as for general corporate purposes, including the funding of
OpenText's recently announced acquisition of Actuate, Inc., a
provider of business analytics software tools.

Upon the closing of the note offering, Moody's expects to assign a
Baa3 rating to the new $300 million secured revolving credit
facility, upgrade the $800 million senior secured term loan B to
Baa3 from Ba1 and revise the Probability of Default Rating to
Ba1-PD from Ba2-PD. The expected upgrade of the $800 million senior
secured term loan A and revision of the PD rating reflects the
introduction of unsecured debt into the capital structure and
reduction of outstanding secured debt.

Ratings Rationale

The Ba1 Corporate Family Rating continues to reflect OpenText's
leading position within the enterprise content management (ECM)
market and the company's modest, though increased financial
leverage (2.9x pro forma for recent acquisitions and the proposed
financing) and strong free cash flow generation capabilities.
Moody's expect free cash flow to debt levels to be maintained at or
near 20%. The rating also recognizes OpenText's continued success
in integrating the acquisition of GSX group and management's
ability to reduce the cost structure across the organization.

Management believes that the acquisition of Actuate will enable
OpenText to provide its existing customer base with analytic
software solutions. It is uncertain whether the Actuate acquisition
will generate meaningful levels of EBITDA in the near term as the
company has been experiencing revenue declines which management
believes are the result of a shift to a subscription software sales
model from a license model. There is potential for OpenText's
leverage to continue to trend upward if management cannot increase
EBITDA through organic revenue growth or continued cost cutting
measures. Given the turnaround challenges at Actuate and the
company's acquisition appetite, OpenText is considered weakly
positioned within the Ba1 category.

The negative outlook reflects the potential that leverage will
continue to trend towards greater than 3x. The negative outlook
also considers recent organic revenue declines in legacy products,
as well as OpenText's willingness to make debt funded acquisitions.
The ratings could face downward pressure if margins or revenue
growth were to deteriorate, or leverage were to exceed 3x on other
than a temporary basis. The outlook could be changed to stable if
the company can demonstrate consistent organic revenue, profit, and
cash flow growth, while successfully integrating Actuate. Given
OpenText's acquisition appetite, a ratings upgrade is unlikely in
the near term.

Liquidity is expected to be very good based on an undrawn $300
million revolver, approximately $455 million of cash on the balance
sheet (pro forma for the debt issuance and Actuate acquisition),
and strong levels of free cash flow. The company is expected to
generate in excess of $300 million of free cash flow over the next
12 months.

Issuer: Open Text Corp.

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.

Open Text Corp., headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, is one
of the largest providers of enterprise content management and
business process management software. For twelve months ended
September 30, 2014, revenues were approximately $1.8 billion.

QUALTEQ INC: Judge Baer Closes Avadama's Chapter 11 Case
--------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Janet S. Baer of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois issued an order granting a final
decree closing the Chapter 11 case of Avadamma LLC (Case No.
12-05879), a debtor-affiliate of Qualteq Inc. dba VCT New Jersey
Inc.

Judge Baer said the order does not close any other open chapter 11
case of any other Debtor besides Avadamma.

Fred C. Caruso, solely in his capacity as the liquidator in the
Chapter 11 case of Avadamma, was authorized to take all actions
necessary to effectuate the relief granted pursuant to the order.

                      About Qualteq Inc.

bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 11-12572) on
Aug. 14, 2011.  Eric Michael Sutty, Esq., and Jeffrey M. Schlerf,
Esq., at Fox Rothschild LLP, serve as local counsel to the Debtors.

At the request of Bank of America NA, the bankruptcy judge
appointed a Chapter 11 trustee in May 2012.  The case was
transferred to Chicago from Delaware in February 2012.

Fred C. Caruso, the Chapter 11 Trustee, tapped Hilco Real Estate,
LLC, as real estate advisors.

In April 2013, the Bankruptcy Court in Chicago signed an order
confirming Qualteq Inc.'s liquidating Chapter 11 plan.  Creditors
with about $9.8 million in claims are being paid in full from a
liquidating trust.  Lenders with mortgages on real estate securing
about $34 million also will be paid in full from sales of the
underlying properties.  Creditors were practically unanimous in
accepting the plan.  The disclosure statement contained a
projection showing $13.7 million left over for the company's owners
after creditors are paid.

RESOLUTE ENERGY: S&P Assigns 'B-' Rating on $150MM 2nd-Lien Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it has assigned its
'B-' issue-level rating (same as the corporate credit rating) and
'3' recovery rating to Denver-based oil and gas exploration and
production company Resolute Energy Corp.'s $150 million second-lien
secured term loan (which was funded on Dec. 31, 2014).  The loan
matures six months following the maturity date of the company's
first-lien revolving credit facility (currently March 2018, but
that date is extended from time to time), but no later than Nov. 1,
2019.  The '3' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation of
meaningful (50% to 70%) recovery in the event of a payment default.
S&P's recovery expectations are in the lower half of the 50% to
70% range.

The company plans to use net proceeds of $134 million to repay a
portion of the borrowings on its revolving credit facility.  The
company's credit facility was also amended to reduce the borrowing
base to $330 million (from $400 million previously) and to
eliminate the total debt to EBITDA covenant.

The terms of the term loan facility allow Resolute Energy to issue
up to $200 million of additional term loan debt for 60 days
following the closing.  If the company were to increase term loan
borrowings, it could affect the recovery rating on this debt, and
S&P would re-evalute the issue-level rating.

The 'B-' corporate credit rating on Resolute Energy reflects
Standard & Poor's assessment of the company's "vulnerable" business
risk and "highly leveraged" financial risk, as well as its
"adequate" liquidity.

Stinson Atlantic City, New Jersey, has reached an agreement under
which Wells Fargo Bank will pay most of Revel Casino Hotel's
outstanding $31 million property taxes, pending approval from the
city and the bankruptcy judge presiding over the beleaguered
casino's case.

                          About Revel AC

Revel AC, Inc. -- http://www.revelresorts.com/-- owns and   
operates Revel, a Las Vegas-style, beachfront entertainment resort
and casino located on the Boardwalk in the south inlet of Atlantic
City, New Jersey.

Revel AC Inc. and five of its affiliates sought bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D.N.J. Lead Case No. 14-22654) on June 19,
2014, to pursue a quick sale of the assets.

The Chapter 11 cases are assigned to Judge Gloria M. Burns.  The
Debtors' Chapter 11 cases are jointly consolidated for procedural
purposes.

Revel AC estimated assets ranging from $500 million to $1 billion,
and the same amount of liabilities.

White & Case, LLP, and Fox Rothschild, LLP, serve as the Debtors'
Counsel, and Moelis & Company, LLC, is the investment banker.  The
Debtors' solicitation and claims agent is Alixpartners, LLP.

The prepetition first lenders are represented by Cadwalader,
Wickersham & Taft LLP.  The prepetition second lien lenders are
represented by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP.  The
DIP agent is represented by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP.

This is Revel AC's second trip to bankruptcy.  The company first
sought bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.N.J. Lead Case No. 13-
16253) on March 25, 2013, with a prepackaged plan that reduced
debt by $1.25 billion.  Less than two months later on May 15,
2013, the 2013 Plan was confirmed and became effective on May 21,
2013.


SPECIALTY HOSPITAL: Arrangement on Termination of 401K Plan OK'd
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge S. Martin Teel, Jr., approved a memorandum of
agreement between Specialty Hospital of Washington, LLC, et al.,
and 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East regarding the
termination of the 401(k) Plan.

The agreement provides that the Hadley Debtors (Specialty Hospital
of Washington Hadley, LLC and SHA Hadley SNF, LLC) will (a) for the
time period between May 21, 2014, and the date the 401(k) Plan is
terminated, make matching contributions into the 401(k) Plan, as
otherwise required by the collective bargaining agreement with the
Union, and (b) for the time period between termination of the
401(k) Plan and the sale of the Debtors' assets to DCA
Acquisitions, LLC, make payments to Union employees who participate
in the 401(k) Plan equivalent to the matching contributions that
the Hadley Debtors would have otherwise been required to make into
the 401(k) Plan if the 401(k) Plan were not terminated.

In exchange, the Union will provide the Hadley Debtors with a
general release from claims arising out of or relating to matching
401(k) contributions after the Petition Date, and the Hadley
Debtors' decision to terminate the 401(k) Plan.

The Hadley Debtors and the Union are parties to a collective
Bargaining agreement for the period of May 13, 2012, until
April 20, 2015.  Pursuant to Article 23 of the CBA, the Hadley
Debtors maintain a 401(k) Plan.

STAG INDUSTRIAL: Fitch Affirms 'BB' Rating on $139MM Pref. Stock
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BBB-' rating to STAG Industrial
Operating Partnership, L.P.'s $80 million unsecured notes issued
through a private placement on Dec. 30, 2014.  The notes have a
12-year term and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.42%.  

The Rating Outlook is Positive.

These notes are the first issuance under a $200 million note
purchase agreement that STAG announced on Nov. 24, 2014.  The
company expects to issue the remaining notes under this purchase
agreement on or around Feb. 20, 2015.  The remaining notes are $20
million of additional 12-year notes bearing interest at 4.42% and
$100 million of 10-year notes bearing interest at 4.32%.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The ratings reflect STAG's credit strengths, which include low
leverage and strong fixed charge coverage for the rating, excellent
liquidity, a sizable unencumbered asset pool and improving access
to capital, including unsecured private placements and term loans
and common equity via underwritten follow-on common equity
offerings and ATM programs.

These credit positives are balanced by the company's portfolio
concentration in secondary industrial markets and short operating
history as a public company.

The Positive Outlook reflects the upward momentum in STAG's credit
profile, including rapid organizational growth, improving
fixed-charge coverage and enhanced access to unsecured debt capital
- all in the context of leverage sustaining in the low 5.0x range.

STAG has achieved many of the rating sensitivities Fitch has
identified as potentially leading to positive ratings momentum.
However, the Positive Outlook captures pending additional seasoning
in the company's operating portfolio and metrics. Specifically,
Fitch will watch closely for evidence of stabilization in the
company's same-store net operating income (NOI) growth following a
period of unanticipated weakness during most of 2013.

Internal Growth to Stabilize and Improve

STAG's cash same-store NOI declined for the TTM ended Sept. 30,
2014 including year-over-year decreases of 0.7% in fourth quarter
2013 (4Q'13), 4.9% in 1Q'14, 1.2% in 2Q'14 and 0.6% in 3Q'14.  The
same-store weakness can be attributed to unusually low tenant
retention due to a period of heightened corporate change and, to a
lesser extent, the harsh weather during the 2013-2014 winter
season.

The company has replaced some of the larger tenant vacancies,
including the loss of Brown Shoe at its Sun Prairie, WI, asset that
was backfilled with minimal downtime.  However, free rent granted
under selected replacement tenant leases has been a near-term drag
on cash same store NOI growth that should abate as these
concessions burn off.

Fitch projects same store NOI growth of 2.9% in 2015 and 3.3% in
2016, based on improved occupancy and positive GAAP rent spreads
for new and renewal leases.  The agency's projections assume
stabilization and improvement in the company's tenant retention
ratios during 2015 through 2016, towards a more normalized level of
between 70% and 80%.  On Jan. 5, 2015, STAG announced that it
retained 71.7% of its expiring leased square footage in 4Q'14,
resulting in an annual tenant retention rate of 69.7%.

Low Leverage

STAG's leverage was 5.8x based on an annualized run rate of STAG's
recurring operating EBITDA for the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2014,
which is strong for the 'BBB-' rating.  This compares with 5.4x on
an annualized basis for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2013 and 4.9x
for the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2013.  Adjusting 3Q'14 earnings
for the impact of partial period acquisitions would reduce STAG's
leverage to 5.3x.  Fitch's projections anticipate that the company
will sustain leverage of approximately 5.0x during the next three
years on an annualized basis that includes a full-year's impact of
earnings from projected acquisitions.

Small Size But Improving Access to Capital

STAG's sale of $300 million of private placement unsecured notes
(including an additional $120 million of notes under delayed draw
agreements) is an important milestone in the company's transition
to a predominantly unsecured borrowing strategy that evidences
broader access to unsecured debt capital.  Prior to the company's
inaugural private unsecured notes placement, STAG's unsecured
borrowings were limited to three bank term loans, as well as
drawdowns under the company's unsecured revolver.  However, Fitch
continues to view STAG as a relatively less seasoned unsecured bond
issuer pending further private placement issuance.

Strong Fixed-Charge Coverage

Fitch expects the company's fixed charge coverage to sustain in the
low 3.0x through 2016.  The low interest rate environment and
higher capitalization rates on class B industrial properties in
secondary markets should allow STAG to continue deploying capital
on a strong spread investing basis.  STAG's fixed charge coverage
was 3.3x for the TTM ended Sept. 30, 2014 and 3.2x and 2.5x for the
years ending Dec. 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Excellent Liquidity

STAG completed a $600 million refinancing of its unsecured bank
debt in Dec. 2014.  The refinancing reduced the company's cost of
fully committed unsecured bank debt to Libor + 1.41% from Libor +
1.66% and increased the weighted average term to 5.9 years from 3.8
years.

STAG also replaced its $200 million unsecured revolving credit
facility with a new $300 million revolver that has a lower cost and
extends the maturity by three years to December 2019 through the
refinancing.

STAG's unencumbered assets, defined as unencumbered net operating
income (NOI) (as calculated in accordance with the company's
unsecured loan agreements) divided by a stressed capitalization
rate of 10%, covered its unsecured debt by 3.5x in 3Q'14, which is
strong for the current ratings.  The company's substantial
unencumbered asset pool is a source of contingent liquidity that
enhances STAG's credit profile.

Straightforward Business Model

STAG has not made investments in ground-up development or
unconsolidated joint venture partnerships.  The absence of these
items helps simplify the company's business model, improve
financial reporting transparency and reduce potential contingent
liquidity claims, which Fitch views positively.

While the company may selectively pursue the acquisition of
completed build-to-suit (BTS) development projects in the future,
Fitch anticipates only a moderate amount of such activity by STAG
on an ongoing basis.  Fitch views the acquisition of completed BTS
projects developed by third parties as less risky than the
traditional ground-up speculative and BTS development undertaken by
some of STAG's industrial REIT peers.

Strong Management

Fitch views management favorably due to its successful track record
in executing its single-tenant industrial portfolio acquisition
strategy, as well as its extensive real estate capital markets
experience.  Fitch does not expect the company's appointment of
Geoff Jervis as Chief Financial officer to result in a change in
financial policies.  Fitch anticipates that Mr. Jervis will
continue to broaden STAG's unsecured debt base beyond bank debt and
that the company will remain committed to its low-leverage
strategy.

Secondary Market Locations

STAG's strategy centers on the acquisition of individual Class B,
single tenant industrial properties (warehouse/distribution and
manufacturing assets) predominantly in secondary markets throughout
the United States by sourcing third party purchases and structured
sale-leasebacks.  Such transactions typically range in price from
$5 million to $50 million and have higher going-in yields, stronger
internal rates of return, and less competition from other buyers.

The company has only minimal exposure to what are traditionally
considered the 'core' U.S. industrial and logistics markets, which
include Chicago, Los Angeles/Inland Empire, Dallas - Fort Worth,
Atlanta and New York/Northern New Jersey.  Fitch views this as a
credit negative given superior liquidity characteristics for
industrial assets in 'core' markets - both in terms of financing
and transactions.

Limited Public Company Track Record

STAG has a limited track record as a public company, having gone
public in 2Q'11.  This track record is balanced by 1) the
homogeneity of industrial properties, 2) management's prior
experience successfully managing STAG's predecessor as a private
company that dates back to 2004 and 3) management's extensive real
estate and capital markets experience.

Preferred Stock Notching

The two-notch differential between STAG's IDR and preferred stock
rating is consistent with Fitch's criteria for a U.S. REIT with an
IDR of 'BBB-'.  These preferred securities are deeply subordinated
and have loss absorption elements that would likely result in poor
recoveries in the event of a corporate default.

Positive Outlook

The Positive Outlook is based on Fitch's expectation for
stabilization and improvement in the company's cash same-store NOI
growth over the rating horizon, coupled with Fitch's expectation
that STAG will maintain leverage and fixed-charge coverage of
approximately 5.0x and 3.0x on a run rate basis, metrics that are
consistent with a 'BBB' IDR.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

These factors may have a positive impact on STAG's ratings:

   -- Stabilization, followed by sustained improvement in STAG's
      tenant retention and same-store NOI growth is Fitch's
      primary consideration for positive ratings momentum;

   -- Continued access to the unsecured bond market;

   -- Leverage calculated on an annualized basis adjusted for
      acquisitions sustaining below 5.5x (leverage was 5.3x as of
      Sept. 30, 2014);

   -- Fixed charge coverage to sustaining above 3.0x (coverage was

      3.3x as of Sept. 30, 2014).

These factors may have a negative impact on the company's ratings
and/or Outlook:

   -- Fitch's expectation for leverage sustaining above 6.5x;
   -- Fixed charge coverage sustaining below 2.0x;
   -- A meaningful increase in the percentage of STAG's encumbered

      assets relative to gross assets.

In addition to the $80 million of unsecured notes, Fitch currently
rates STAG as:

STAG Industrial, Inc.

   -- Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'BBB-';
   -- $139 million preferred stock 'BB'.

STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P.

   -- IDR 'BBB-';
   -- $300 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility
      'BBB-';
   -- $100 million senior unsecured notes 'BBB-';
   -- $300 million senior unsecured term loans 'BBB-'.



STUART WEITZMAN: Coach Deal No Impact on Moody's B3 Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service said that Stuart Weitzman Acquisition Co.
LLC's ratings ("Stuart Weitzman", B3 stable) are not affected by
the January 6 announcement of a definitive agreement for the
company to be acquired by premium handbag and accessories designer
Coach, Inc. for approximately $574 million including contingent
payments.

The principal methodology used in this rating was the Global
Apparel Companies published in May 2013. 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 New York, NY, Stuart Weitzman Acquisition Co. LLC
is a designer and retailer of luxury women's footwear. Revenues for
the last twelve months ended October 4, 2014 were approximately
$300 million. The company has been controlled by Sycamore Partners
since April 2014.

TITAN ENERGY: Completes Merger with PTES Acquisition
----------------------------------------------------
Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc., completed a short-form merger with
PTES Acquisition II Corp., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of
Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc., with PTES II as the surviving
entity, pursuant to that certain Plan and Agreement of Merger,
dated as of Dec. 31, 2014.  Prior to the merger, PTES II completed
the acquisition of 100% of the preferred stock of Titan and owned
96% of the outstanding shares of Titan's capital stock entitled to
vote on a merger.

As a result of the merger, each outstanding share of Titan common
stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the
merger consideration of $0.0007 per share of Titan common stock.
Furthermore, as a result of the merger, Titan ceased to be a public
reporting company and its common stock will no longer be quoted for
trading.

Titan stockholders of record as of Dec. 31, 2014, will have the
opportunity to receive the merger consideration upon completing the
letter of transmittal and related instructions to be mailed to them
by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., who is serving as
paying agent to Pioneer.  Stockholders of record may seek
additional information by calling Broadridge at (855) 793-5068.

                        About Titan Energy

New Hudson, Mich.-based Titan Energy Worldwide, Inc., is a
provider of onsite power generation, energy management and energy
efficiency products and services.

Titan reported net profit of $108,215 on $21.89 million of net
sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, as compared with a net
loss of $1.65 million on $19.15 million of net sales during the
prior year.

The Company's balance sheet at March 31, 2014, showed
$6.15 million in assets, $10.3 million in liabilities, and a
stockholders' deficit $4.15 million.

"The Company believes it can be profitable for the year 2014 as
some of the factors that created the loss were due to extreme
weather conditions and Management believes it has put into place
new processes and procedures that should mitigate the impact of
these types of conditions in the future.  In addition, the Company
is in the process of restructuring its balance sheet.  If
successful, this should allow the Company to gain access to
capital at a reduced rate.  However, the accumulated deficit and
the notes that are in default raise substantial doubt as to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern," the Company
stated in the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014.

                          *     *     *

As reported in the TCR in November 2014, Titan Energy disclosed in
a regulatory filing that as a result of the ongoing audits and
reviews of its financial statements, which are not yet complete,
the Company concluded that the previously filed financial
statements in the annual report for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the
quarterly reports for 2012, 2013 and 2014 should no longer be
relied upon.  The Company said that the largest adjustment related
to the goodwill impairment and was not known until the company
completed its step 2 analysis on Oct. 22, 2014.



TRUSTEES OF CONNEAUT LAKE PARK: Asks for Jan. 30 Deadline for Data
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ed Palattella at Erie Times-News reports that the bankruptcy lawyer
for the Conneaut Lake Park trustees, George Snyder, Esq., has asked
the bankruptcy court in Erie, Pennsylvania, to give the Park until
Jan. 30, 2015, to file records detailing all of its debts in its
court filings.

Erie Times relates that over $927,000 in unpaid real estate taxes
largely led the Park to file for bankruptcy in December.  The
report says that the Park owes: (i) Conneaut School District
$636,000 in back taxes; (ii) Crawford County $235,000; (iii) Summit
Township $44,000; and (iv) Sadsbury Township $12,200.  According to
the report, these Creditors said that they will oppose any argument
that the Park is tax exempt and that the tax liens -- covering 1996
through 2013 -- are invalid.  

Erie Times says Mr. Snyder hinted that he might challenge the
validity of the tax liens because the Park has been a nonprofit
corporation since 1997.  Mr. Snyder said in court documents that as
a nonprofit, the Park in 1997 stopped paying property taxes, but
taxing authorities "continued assessing and liening taxes" against
the Park's property.

Citing the attorney for the Creditors, Lawrence Bolla, Erie Times
states that the Park has never been found to be tax exempt and "may
not now argue in this Court that its real property is or has been
exempt from real estate taxes for the years 1996 through 2013."

According to Erie Times, Mr. Bolla said that Crawford County
President Judge Anthony Vardaro on Dec. 3, 2014, rejected arguments
from the Attorney General's Office that the Park, as a charitable
trust, is tax exempt.  Mr. Bolla said in court documents that the
Park never appealed Judge Vardaro's ruling that had allowed the
sheriff sale to proceed and, which, according to Mr. Bolla,
"specifically found that the real property taxes due through the
year 2013 are proper assessments and the property is not exempt"
because, among other things, the Park "never requested an exemption
for any of the tax years involved."

The Park could request an exemption from assessment officials going
forward, but that it would not be retroactive to 1996 through 2013,
Erie Times reports, citing Mr. Bolla.

partners, as the Firm begins its strategic expansion to build a
full-service office in Pittsburgh in the coming months.

The Pittsburgh office will be led by George M. Medved.  Prior to

broad range of complex litigation matters.  Collectively, they have
handled cases involving corporate, construction, trade secrets,

client service from a collegial, collaborative environment.  Our

current and growing demand for our services from clients with
significant interests in Western Pennsylvania.  We are delighted to
have them lead us as we open our Pittsburgh office, and look

Blank Rome is growing by adding attorneys that bring new business
opportunities, can serve current clients, and fit strategically

office in Pittsburgh further strengthens Blank Rome's leading
presence in Pennsylvania; creates a natural connection for the

to meet the existing and expanding local demand for its legal
services.

"This is an invigorating move for us," said George Medved,

is a vibrant commercial market, and Blank Rome has a solid strategy
for establishing and increasing its presence here.  We are excited
most by Blank Rome's depth, experience and reputation,
collaborative culture and diversified practice, and by its
strategic geographic platform, with offices where they matter most
for our clients.  We are happy to be a part of Blank Rome and
thrilled to build the Pittsburgh practice."

[*] Competitive Landscape Spurs Bankruptcy of Solar Power Companies
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Frost & Sullivan estimates that global solar market revenues will
grow between 2014 and 2020 despite the economic uncertainty in the
global markets.  A number of government sponsored initiatives are
expected to boost the proportion of energy coming from "green
sources" and political willingness will also be a key driver of
this market.  With climate change high on the agenda for most
governments, renewable energy has come to the forefront as one of
the solutions proposed to combat global warming.  Incentive
mechanisms are also an important factor encouraging investments for
the growth of the solar power market.

Key Findings

Frost & Sullivan estimates that the global solar market revenue
decreased by % in 2013 compared to the previous year.  Market
revenue is estimated to reach $ billion in 2020 growing at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of %.  The market is expected to
follow a positive growth pattern throughout the forecast period
despite economic uncertainty in the global market.

As a result of significant overcapacity and price decline of
photovoltaic (PV) modules, the market registered negative growth in
2013 and larger global suppliers of PV panels struggled to make a
profit, with some of them filing for bankruptcy.

In 2013, the industrial and public projects segment accounted for
the majority of the annual installed capacity at % and will be the
fastest-growing segment for annual capacity installed at a CAGR of
%.

One of the key drivers for this market has been defining the
structure of feed-in tariffs (FiTs) for solar PV-generated power.
Favorable legislation should continue to propel the growth of the
industry as a whole.

A number of government-sponsored initiatives are expected to boost
the proportion of energy coming from green sources, and political
willingness will also be a key driver of this market throughout the
forecast period.  With climate change high on the agenda for most
governments, renewable energy has come to the forefront as one of
the solutions proposed to combat global warming.

Growth in the solar power market is impacted by the level of
insolation that a region receives.  Insolation is defined as the
amount of solar energy reaching the earth, which is usually
strongest on and around the equator and is measured in kWh/m/day.

Higher latitudes have lower insolation levels, therefore, some
regions are unattractive markets for solar PV.

Key Findings

According to the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA),
"China and India will lead the way as PV prices fall and economies
rapidly develop in countries located around the equator."  China
and India have become the most attractive markets over the last
years.  Most large PV module manufacturers are building up their
capabilities with tie-ups and alliances in these countries.
Increased investment into this market is a result of the likely
introduction of FiT systems, adequate solar radiation, and
increasing awareness of renewable technologies.  With increased
technological efficiency, the cost of generating solar energy has
decreased significantly, though the installation and maintenance
costs still remain relatively high.  Therefore, incentive
mechanisms are an important factor encouraging investments for
growth of the solar power market.  The reduction of emissions from
greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants is a priority for many
countries, while energy efficiency is one of the most
cost-effective ways to enhance security of energy supply. In many
ways, energy sufficiency is one of the drivers impacting growth of
the solar power market.  The competitive landscape of the solar
power market has been extremely dynamic with companies registering
high growth at one point and declaring bankruptcy a few years
later.  Low manufacturing costs in Asia, particularly China, have
resulted in the liquidation of some industry pioneers such as BP
Solar, Photowatt (one of the first PV companies to become
profitable), and Evergreen Solar (which closed its solar division,
as was the case for BP).  Q-Cells also closed down (although it was
later rescued by BMW heir, Quandt).  Suntech declared bankruptcy in
March 2013.  However, the market currently looks quite buoyant and
Frost & Sullivan expects the market revenue to reach $ billion in
2014, an increase of % over 2013.

                            *********

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

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

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
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.
