AEREO INC: UST Balks at Pre-Approval of Brown Rudnick's Fee
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee filed a limited objection to Aereo, Inc.'s
application to employ Brown Rudnick LLP as bankruptcy counsel.

The U.S. Trustee said that it does not object to the structure of
the proposed compensation, rather, it objects to that part of the
application which seeks the pre-approval of Brown Rudnick's
proposed transaction fee under Section 328(a) because it does not
carve out the U.S. Trustee's right to review that fee under the
reasonableness standard of review.

The compensation structure negotiated by the Debtor and Brown
Rudnick consists of two components: a lodestar fee at a reduced
hourly rate plus a transaction fee based on 2.0% of the aggregate
consideration realized by the sale of the Debtor's assets or
recapitalization.  The total fees that Brown Rudnick may earn
under the arrangement is subject to a cap of 125% of what Brown
Rudnick would have charged the Debtor at its customary hourly
rates, starting as of the date of its engagement.

The application described each of the metrics as follows:

   a) Lodestar Fee at Reduced Hourly Rates: Brown Rudnick will
charge the Debtor 75% of generally its customary hourly rates for
services.  As of the Petition Date, Brown Rudnick's usual rates,
which are adjusted from time to time, range from $700 to $1,240 per
hour for partners, $415 to $730 per hour for associates and $285 to
$340 per hour for paraprofessionals.  Brown Rudnick has charged the
debtor at this reduced rate of Lodestar Fees for work done from the
Engagement Date to the Petition Date in preparation of filing the
Chapter 11 petition and will continue to charge the reduced rate of
Lodestar Fees during the case.

   b) Partial Contingency Fee: In addition, but subject to the
overall cap, Brown Rudnick will earn a contingency fee equal to
2.0% of the aggregate consideration realized by the Debtor from the
sale of its assets, recapitalization or other similar transaction.

   c) Cap: The aggregate fees earned by Brown Rudnick from the
Lodestar Fee at Reduced Hourly Rates and Partial Contingency Fee
may not exceed, in total, the Lodestar Fees that would have been
paid at Brown Rudnick's usual hourly rates multiplied by 1.25.

                          The Application

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Nov. 25, 2014,
the Debtor is seeking approval to employ Brown Rudnick under a
general retainer as its attorney to perform the legal services that
will be necessary during the Chapter 11 case.

Prior to the Chapter 11 Petition Date, commencing on Oct. 29,
2014, the Debtor engaged Brown Rudnick to provide advice in
connection with insolvency and related strategies and planning and
the preparation for filing of this Chapter 11 case.

The Debtor believes that Brown Rudnick is a "disinterested
person," as that term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code, as modified by Section 1107(b) thereof.

Brown Rudnick will charge the Debtor 75% of generally its
customary hourly rates for services as are in effect from time to
time, as charged to bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy clients --
Lodestar Fees.  As of the Petition Date, Brown Rudnick's usual
rates, which are adjusted from time to time, range from $700 to
$1,240 per hour for partners, $415 to $730 per hour for associates
and $285 to $340 per hour for paraprofessionals.  In addition, but
subject to the overall cap, Brown Rudnick will earn a contingency
fee -- Partial Contingency Fee -- equal to 2.0% of the aggregate
consideration realized by the Debtor from the sale of its assets,
recapitalization or other similar transaction.

The aggregate fees earned by Brown Rudnick from the Lodestar Fee
at Reduced Hourly Rates and Partial Contingency Fee may not
exceed, in total, the Lodestar Fees that would have been paid at
Brown Rudnick's usual hourly rates multiplied by 1.25.

Brown Rudnick customarily is reimbursed for all expenses it incurs
in connection with its representation of a client in a given
matter.

                        About Aereo, Inc.

With headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, Aereo, Inc., is a
technology company that provided subscribers with the ability to
watch live or "time-shifted" local over-the-air broadcast
television on internet-connected devices, such as personal
computers, tablet devices, and "smartphones."   Aero provided to
each subscriber access, via the internet, to individual remote or
micro-antennas and a cloud-based DVR, which were maintained by the
Debtor in facilities within the local market.

Aereo, Inc., sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case
No. 14-13200) in Manhattan, New York, on Nov. 20, 2014.  The
Chapter 11 filing came five months after the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled the Debtor, with respect to live or contemporaneous
transmissions, was essentially performing as a traditional cable
system under the Copyright Act, and thus was violating
broadcasters' copyrights because it wasn't paying broadcasters any
fees.

The Debtor has tapped William R. Baldiga, Esq., at Brown Rudnick
LLP, in New York, as counsel.  The Debtors has also engaged Argus
Management Corp. to provide the services of Lawton W. Bloom as CRO
and Peter Sullivan and Scott Dicus as assistant restructuring
officers.  Prime Clerk LLC is the claims and notice agent.

The Debtor disclosed $22.2 million in assets and $2.78 million in
liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 2 appointed three creditors to serve on
the official committee of unsecured creditors.



ALEXANDRA TRUST: Bailey Opposes Payment of Slim's Previous Fees
---------------------------------------------------------------
Scheduled creditor Don Bailey supplemented his limited objection to
Alexandra Trust's application to employ special counsel Jules P.
Slim.

Mr. Bailey stated that in the event that the Court authorizes the
Debtor to hire Mr. Slim, that authorization must bar Mr. Slim from
receiving fees for any work by him on behalf of the Debtor prior to
the date of the order approving his hiring.

On Nov. 13, 2014, the sought permission to employ Mr. Slim as
special counsel to represent the Debtor in litigation matters
concerning property and other assets of the Debtor located in Texas
and Mississippi.

On Dec. 5, Mr. Bailey filed his limited objection to the
application.  On Dec. 29, the Debtor amended its application and on
Dec. 30, it responded to Mr. Bailey's limited objection and asked
that the Court grant its motion.

                       Amended Application

In its application, the Debtor said Mr. Slim will represent the
Debtor in that certain adversary proceeding filed on Dec. 12, 2014,
entitled Alexandra Trust v. M Street Investments, Inc. et al., Case
No. 14-03156.  The adversary proceeding seeks the turnover of
property of the Debtor and its estate.

Mr. Slim has agreed to represent the Debtor on an hourly basis at
$325.

Mr. Slim has been paid a retainer of $5,000 in connection with the
proceeding from Sarah Sterritt individually.  Mrs. Sterritt is
co-trustee of the Alexandra Trust and will personally pay ongoing
legal fees and expenses of Jules Slim during the bankruptcy.

The compensation to be paid to Mr. Slim will be based upon these
hourly rates:

         Mr. Slim                     $325
         Paralegals                    $90

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 1, 2014,
Mr. Slim assured the Court that the firm is a "disinterested
person" as the term is defined in Section 101(14) of the
Bankruptcy Code and does not represent any interest adverse to the
Debtors and their estates.

                       About Alexandra Trust

Garland, Texas-based Alexandra Trust sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on Oct. 20, 2014 (Case No. 14-
35049, Bankr. N.D. Tex.).  The case is assigned to Judge Barbara
J. Houser.  The Debtor's counsel is Arthur I. Ungerman, Esq., in
Dallas, Texas.  In a revised schedules, the Debtor disclosed
$861,125,941 in assets and $4,572,832 in liabilities as of the
Chapter 11 filing.  The petition was signed by Richard Dale
Sterritt, Jr., trustee.



ALEXANDRA TRUST: Bailey Says Atty. Application Still Lacking
------------------------------------------------------------
Scheduled creditor Don Bailey supplemented his limited objection to
Alexandra Trust's application to employ counsel Arthur I. Ungerman,
Joyce W. Lindauer, and Kerry S. Alleyne-Simmons.

The Debtor filed its amended application to employ Mr. Ungerman,
Ms. Lindauer and Ms. Alleyne-Simmons as counsel on Nov. 13, 2014.

Mr. Bailey said that the Debtor's filings to date do not disclose
"the fee arrangements and retention agreements" with Mr. Ungerman
and Ms. Lindauer.  The Debtor's objection is incorrect in stating
that "retention agreements" have been filed.  No retention
agreement has been forthcoming from Mr. Ungerman or Ms. Lindauer.
Bailey repeats his request that Mr. Ungerman and Ms. Lindauer be
required to produce their joint or separate retention agreement(s)
with Debtor.

On Dec. 30, the Debtor requested that Court deny Mr. Bailey's
requested relief and enter an order approving the employment of Mr.
Ungerman, Ms. Lindauer and Ms. Alleyne-Simmons, as counsel.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Dec. 1, 2014, the
Debtor related that Mr. Ungerman will be responsible for the
general administration of the estate including, filing of the
schedules and statement of financial affairs, advising the Debtor
on compliance issues for opening the Debtor in Possession Account,
filing monthly operating reports and paying quarterly fees,
attending the 11 U.S.C. Sec. 341 meeting, preparing cash collateral
motions and orders, negotiating with creditors of the estate,
preparation of the plan of reorganization and disclosure statement.
Ms. Lindauer will be responsible for any litigation matters,
including contested motions to lift the automatic stay, objections
to cash collateral, plan of  reorganization and disclosure
statement, and adversary proceedings  brought by or against the
Debtor.

The attorneys will be paid at these hourly rates:

       Arthur I. Ungerman                  $275
       Joyce W. Lindauer                   $375
       Kerry S. Alleyne-Simmons            $175
       Paralegals and Legal Assistants  $50 to 125

The Attorneys will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred.

Mr. Ungerman has been paid a retainer of $10,000 in connection
with these proceedings. This retainer has been used to pay for the
filing fee of $1,717 in connection with this case.

Mr. Ungerman, Ms. Lindauer and Ms. Alleyne-Simmons, assured the
Court that the firm is a "disinterested person" as the term is
defined in Section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code and does not
represent any interest adverse to the Debtors and their estates.

                       About Alexandra Trust

Garland, Texas-based Alexandra Trust sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No. 14-
35049) on Oct. 20, 2014.  The case is assigned to Judge Barbara
J. Houser.  The Debtor's counsel is Arthur I. Ungerman, Esq., in
Dallas, Texas.  In a revised schedules, the Debtor disclosed $861
million in assets and $4.57 million in liabilities as of the
Chapter 11 filing.  The petition was signed by Richard Dale
Sterritt, Jr., trustee.

Don Bailey, a scheduled creditor, says the Debtor is not really a
business to be reorganized.  Its assets, other than a debt-free
residential property, are claimed interests in 22 entities plus
seven potential lawsuits which the Debtor apparently intends to
file in its name to resolve, among other issues, ownership of
several of those entities.



ALEXANDRA TRUST: Bailey Wants Ch. 11 Trustee Bid Resolved First
---------------------------------------------------------------
Scheduled creditor Don Bailey supplemented his limited objection to
Alexandra Trust's application to employ special counsel B. Blake
Teller of Teller, Hassell & Hopson, LLP.

On Nov. 14, 2014, the Debtor filed its application to employ
special counsel to represent the Debtor in litigation matters
concerning property and other assets of the Debtor located in
Vicksburg, Mississippi.  Mr. Bailey filed his limited objection to
the application on Dec. 8.

The Debtor amended the application on Dec. 29.  In the amended
application, the Debtor stated it believes that the Mississippi
litigation is stayed because of the its bankruptcy, and responded
to Mr. Bailey's limited objection on Dec. 30

In the supplement, Mr. Bailey said that the Debtor's hiring of
Mr. Teller must be postponed until the Court's ruling on that
motion for appointment of a chapter 11 trustee.  If a trustee is
appointed, any decision on hiring Mississippi counsel for the
Debtor should be made by the trustee.

                       Amended Application

The Debtor related that Mr. Teller of TH&H will represent the
Debtor in that certain lawsuit entitled M Street Investments, Inc.
et al v. AGT Capital, LLC et al., Cause No. 14-CV-00060 in the
Circuit Court of Warren County, Mississippi.  The litigation is
related to ownership of property and assets that the Debtor claims
an interest in, located in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

The Debtor believes that the Mississippi litigation is stayed
because of the bankruptcy.  The Debtor is very optimistic that its
claims and defenses in the litigation will result in a significant
recovery for the estate.

TH&H has been paid a retainer of $5,000 in connection with the
proceeding from Sarah Sterritt individually.  Mrs. Sterritt is
co-trustee of the Alexandra Trust and will personally pay ongoing
legal fees and expenses of TH&H during the bankruptcy.

The compensation to be paid to TH&H will be based upon these hourly
rates:

         Mr. Teller                    $225
         G. Philip Schrader, IV        $175
         Lauren Roberts Caepart        $175

ALLIED SECURITY: S&P Hikes Rating on $701MM 1st Lien Loan to 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its issue-level ratings
on Pennsylvania-based Allied Security Holdings LLC's $701 million
senior secured first-lien credit facility (composed of a $81
million revolver and a $620 first-lien term loan) to 'B+' from 'B',
following the cancellation of a $220 million delayed-draw on the
first-lien term loan that S&P had initially included in its
analysis.  S&P also revised the recovery rating on the first-lien
debt to '2' (indicating S&P's expectation of substantial recovery
[70%-90%] in a payment default scenario) from '3'.

S&P also affirmed the 'CCC+' issue-level rating on the company's
$265 million secured second-lien debt.  The $100 million
delayed-draw on the second-lien debt was also cancelled.  The
recovery rating on the second-lien debt remains '6', indicating
S&P's expectation of negligible recovery (0%-10%) in a payment
default scenario.

The proceeds from the delayed-draw transaction would have funded an
acquisition, which did not close.  S&P estimates credit metrics
remain weak, with adjusted leverage of about 6.6x for the 12 months
ended Sept. 30, 2014, increased from about 5.2x in the prior year,
due to a debt-funded dividend.  S&P expects credit metrics will
remain near current levels and in line with indicative ratios
(including leverage above 5x) for the "highly leveraged" financial
profile over the next year, given the presence of a financial
sponsor with a history of maintaining high leverage from
debt-funded shareholder distributions and acquisitions.  S&P also
expects relatively steady operating performance and minimal debt
reduction.  S&P believes industry consolidation will continue in
the highly competitive security services industry, and that the
company will continue to grow both organically and through
acquisitions.  The company's narrow product focus but good market
share in the security services industry underpins our "fair"
business risk assessment.

S&P's 'B' corporate credit rating on the company remains unchanged.
The outlook is stable.

AMBASSADOR INSURANCE: Claims Bar Date Ruling Reversed

excess liability policies issued by Ambassador Insurance Company,
Inc., a property and casualty insurance company incorporated in

that the court's deadline is unreasonable and that the court failed
to consider available alternatives to a final claim date.

AMERICAN AIRLINES: Reports $2.9-Bil. Net Profit in 4th Qtr. 2014
----------------------------------------------------------------
American Airlines Group Inc. on Jan. 27 reported its fourth quarter
and full year 2014 results.

For the fourth quarter 2014, American Airlines Group reported a
record GAAP net profit of $597 million.  This compares to a GAAP
net loss of $2.0 billion in the fourth quarter 2013, which includes
the results for US Airways only for the period from the completion
of the merger on December 9, 2013, through December 31, 2013.

For full year 2014, GAAP net profit was $2.9 billion, compared to a
full year 2013 GAAP net loss of $1.8 billion for AMR Corporation,
which includes the results for US Airways only for the period from
the completion of the merger on December 9, 2013, through December
31, of 2013.

The Company believes it is more meaningful to compare
year-over-year results for American Airlines and US Airways
excluding special charges and on a combined basis, which is a
non-GAAP formulation that combines the results for AMR Corporation
and US Airways Group.  On this basis, the Company's fourth quarter
2014 net profit excluding net special charges was a record $1.1
billion, or $1.52 per diluted share.  This represents a 153 percent
improvement over the combined non-GAAP net profit of $436 million
excluding net special charges for the same period in 2013. The
Company's fourth quarter 2014 pretax margin excluding net special
charges was a record 10.6 percent.

Excluding net special charges, the Company's 2014 net profit was a
record $4.2 billion, or $5.70 per diluted share.  This represents a
115 percent improvement over the Company's combined 2013 non-GAAP
net profit excluding net special charges of $1.9 billion.

See the accompanying notes in the Financial Tables section of this
press release for further explanation of this presentation,
including a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial
information.

"Our record 2014 results close out a fantastic first year for our
merger.  These results would not have been possible without the
efforts of our more than 100,000 team members," said Doug Parker,
American Airlines Group Chairman and CEO.  "They have done a great
job of working together to take care of our customers and restore
American as the greatest airline in the world.

"We have much to do in the year ahead as we continue to integrate
two large carriers.  The results we have achieved thus far,
combined with our economic outlook, give us confidence that 2015
will be another outstanding year for American Airlines."

Revenue and Cost Comparisons

Total revenue in the fourth quarter was a record $10.2 billion, an
increase of 2.1 percent versus the fourth quarter 2013 on a
combined basis and excluding special items, on a 1.7 percent
increase in total available seat miles (ASMs).  Consolidated
passenger revenue per ASM (PRASM) was 13.50 cents, down 1.0 percent
versus the fourth quarter 2013 on a combined basis. Consolidated
passenger yield was a record 16.84 cents, up 0.9 percent
year-over-year.

Strong demand throughout the year led to 2014 total revenue of
$42.7 billion, up 5.6 percent versus 2013 on a combined basis and
excluding special items.  Full year consolidated PRASM was 13.97
cents, up 2.2 percent versus 2013 on a combined basis.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $9.3 billion, a
decrease of 4.1 percent compared to combined fourth quarter 2013
due primarily to a 17.3 percent decrease in consolidated fuel
expense.  Fourth quarter mainline cost per available seat mile
(CASM) was 13.32 cents, down 6.1 percent on a 1.5 percent increase
in mainline ASMs versus combined fourth quarter 2013.  Excluding
special charges and fuel, mainline CASM was 8.67 cents, up 1.1
percent compared to the combined fourth quarter 2013.  Regional
CASM excluding special charges and fuel was 15.87 cents, up 0.9
percent on a 3.8 percent increase in regional ASMs versus combined
fourth quarter 2013.

For the full year 2014, total operating expenses were $38.4
billion, up 1.5 percent versus combined 2013.  Excluding special
charges and fuel, mainline CASM increased 2.0 percent to 8.63 cents
versus combined 2013.  Regional CASM excluding special items and
fuel increased 3.6 percent to 15.94 cents versus combined 2013.

Liquidity

At December 31, 2014, American had approximately $8.1 billion in
total cash and short-term investments, of which $774 million was
restricted.  The Company also had an undrawn revolving credit
facility of $1.8 billion.

Also in the fourth quarter, the Company returned $959 million to
its shareholders through the payment of $72 million in quarterly
dividends and the repurchase of $887 million of common stock, or
20.5 million shares.  When combined with the $113 million of shares
repurchased in the third quarter 2014, the Company repurchased a
total of 23.4 million shares at an average price of $42.72 per
share in 2014.  The Company's $1 billion share repurchase program
announced in July 2014 is now complete -- more than one year ahead
of its scheduled expiration.  The Company also purchased
approximately 52,000 shares from its Disputed Claims Reserve at the
prevailing market price to satisfy certain tax obligations
resulting from the November 4, 2014, distribution.

As of December 31, 2014, approximately $656 million of the
Company's unrestricted cash and short-term investment balance was
held in Venezuelan bolivars.  This balance includes approximately
$621 million valued at 6.3 bolivars and approximately $35 million
valued at 12.0 bolivars, with the rate depending on the date the
Company submitted its repatriation request to the Venezuelan
government.  These rates are materially more favorable than the
exchange rates currently prevailing for other transactions
conducted outside of the Venezuelan government's currency exchange
system.  The Company's cash balance held in Venezuelan bolivars
decreased $65 million from the September 30, 2014 balance of $721
million.  In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company incurred an
$11 million foreign currency loss related to the receipt of $23
million at a rate of 6.3 bolivars to the dollar for one of its 2012
repatriation requests originally valued at a rate of 4.3 bolivars
to the dollar.  Accordingly, the Company revalued its remaining
pending 2012 repatriation requests from 4.3 to 6.3 bolivars to the
dollar resulting in additional foreign currency losses of $19
million.  In total, the Company recognized a $30 million special
charge for these foreign currency losses in the fourth quarter of
2014.

The Company has significantly reduced capacity in this market.  The
Company is continuing to work with Venezuelan authorities regarding
the timing and exchange rate applicable to the repatriation of
funds held in local currency.  The Company is monitoring this
situation closely and continues to evaluate its holdings of
Venezuelan bolivars for additional foreign currency losses, which
could be material.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a
dividend of $0.10 per share for shareholders of record as of
February 9, 2015.  The dividend will be paid on February 23, 2015.
In addition, the Company announced that its Board also authorized
an additional $2 billion share repurchase program to be completed
by the end of 2016.

Shares repurchased under the program announced above may be made
through a variety of methods, which may include open market
purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or
accelerated share repurchase transactions.  Any such repurchases
will be made from time to time subject to market and economic
conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant
factors.  The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase
any specific number of shares or continue a dividend for any fixed
period, and may be suspended at any time at management's
discretion.

Notes were issued under an indenture dated Jan. 20, 2015, by and
among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington
Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent.

According to a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Notes were issued to certain noteholders of the
Company, who are also the majority equityholders of the Company, in
exchange for $32,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the

pursuant to an exchange agreement.

The Notes mature on July 15, 2020.  The Notes accrue interest at a

semi-annually in arrears on July 15 and Jan. 15 of each year.

On Jan. 20, 2015, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture
by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National
Association, as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB, as
trustee and collateral agent, to an indenture, dated as of Dec. 22,
2010, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and
the Existing Second Lien Trustee.  The Supplemental Indenture
clarifies the permitted relative lien priority of the Notes.

On Jan. 20, 2015, the Company amended its revolving credit
agreement, dated as of Dec. 22, 2010, by and among the Company,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders
from time to time party thereto.  In particular, the amendment
modifies the definition of "Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness" to
contemplate, among other things, the Exchange.

                       Security Documents

The Company entered into the Collateral Agreement, dated as of Jan.
20, 2015, by and among the Company, the subsidiaries of the
Company, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral
agent, in order to secure the payment and performance of the
obligations under the Indenture.  The Collateral Agreement is
substantially similar to the collateral agreement entered into in
connection with securing the notes issued under the Existing Second
Lien Indenture.

                       Joinder Agreement

On Jan. 20, 2015, the Trustee entered into the second joinder to

                       About American Media

Based in New York, American Media, Inc., publishes celebrity
journalism and health and fitness magazines in the U.S.  These
include Star, Shape, Men's Fitness, Fit Pregnancy, Natural Health,
and The National Enquirer.  In addition to print properties, AMI
manages 14 different Web sites.  The company also owns
Distribution Services, Inc., an in-store magazine merchandising
company.

American Media, Inc., and 15 units, including American Media
Operations, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 protection in Manhattan
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 10-16140) on Nov. 17, 2010, with a
prepackaged plan.  The Debtors emerged from Chapter 11
reorganization in December 2010, handing ownership to former

million of total operating revenues for the year ended March 31,
2013.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Jan. 9, 2015 edition of the TCR, American Media
carries a 'Caa1' corporate family rating from Moody's.  American
Media's Caa1 CFR reflects the company's elevated total debt to
EBITDA leverage that Moody's expect will rise to the 8-9x range
(Moody's adjusted) over the rating horizon from about 7x as of
Sept. 30, 2014 as a result of lower EBITDA performance that
stems from a reduction in circulation sales associated with the
bankruptcy filing of AMI's second largest publications wholesaler,
Source Interlink Distribution ("Source").  The rating also captures
AMI's weak liquidity profile and deteriorating EBITDA cushion under
the revolver's first-lien leverage covenant resulting from the
lower circulation revenue aggravated by the Source bankruptcy,
which required temporary covenant relief through an amendment to
the credit facility.

As reported in the Jan. 14, 2015 edition of the TCR, Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services said that its ratings on U.S. magazine
publisher American Media Inc., including the 'CCC' corporate credit
rating, are not affected by the company's announcement that it is
exchanging $32 million of its first-lien 11.5% notes due 2017 for
$39 million in new second-lien 7% notes due 2020.  The negative
rating outlook remains unchanged.



ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. PAUL: Has OK to Continue Insurance Programs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert J. Kressel of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Minnesota authorized the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and
Minneapolis to (i) pay or reimburse all claims, premiums, and
administrative expenses payable under the insurance program whether
incurred pre- or postpetition, and (ii) pay any workers'
compensation claims, premiums, and related administrative expenses
from the GIF Account whether incurred pre- or postpetition.

Mary Jo. A. Jensen-Carter, Esq., attorney for approximately 50
parishes located in the archdiocese, supported the Debtor's request
for authority to maintain its insurance programs, saying the
parishes in the Archdiocese participate in the insurance programs
and they rely on the existence of the insurance coverage to operate
their businesses in the ordinary course.  Ms. Jensen-Carter said
the parishes will suffer immediate and irreparable harm if the
insurance programs do not continue to operate in the ordinary
course.

                   About Archdiocese of St. Paul

The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis was originally
established by the Vatican in 1850 and serves a geographical area
consisting of 12 greater Twin Cities metro-area counties in

counties.  There are 187 parishes and approximately 825,000
Catholic individuals in the region.  These individuals and parishes
are served by 3999 priests and 173 deacons.

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. D. Minn. Case No. 15-30125) in Minnesota on Jan.
16, 2015, saying it has large and growing liabilities related to
child sexual abuse and that its pension obligations are
underfunded.

The Debtor estimated under $50 million in assets and under $100
million in liabilities.

The Debtor has tapped Briggs and Morgan, P.A., as Chapter 11
counsel; BGA Management LLC d/b/a Alliance Management as financial
advisor; Lindquist & Vennum LLP as attorney.

According to the docket, the Debtor's exclusivity period for filing
plan and disclosure statement ends May 18, 2015.  Governmental

ASPEN GROUP: Cooperman Reports Warrants to Buy 4MM Shares
---------------------------------------------------------
Leon Cooperman disclosed in an amended Schedule 13G filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that as of Dec. 31, 2014,
he beneficially owned 11,238,939 shares of common stock of
Aspen Group, Inc., representing 9.99 percent of the shares
outstanding.  

In a Schedule 13G/A filed on Jan. 23, 2015, Mr. Coooperman
inadvertently overlooked that he owned 4,000,000 Warrants
convertible into the Issuer's Common Stock.  The purpose of the
Amendment was to correct that mistake.

According to Mr. Cooperman, the 11,238,939 shares does not include
additional shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
warrants which contain a blocker provision under which the
reporting person can only exercise his warrants to a point where he
would beneficially own a maximum of 9.99% of the Issuer's
outstanding shares.  Subject to the terms of the Blocker Mr.
Cooperman has the immediate right to purchase an additional
4,000,000 shares.  The reporting person owns directly 8,000,000
shares.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ: S&P Cuts GO Debt Rating to BB, on Watch Negative
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has lowered its general
obligation rating on Atlantic City, N.J., four notches to 'BB' from
'BBB+' and placed it on CreditWatch with negative implications.

The downgrade reflects S&P's view of the state's recent
appointment, by executive order, of an Emergency Manager and
Emergency Manager Advisor within the state's Department of
Community Affairs, Division of Local Governments.  The order
requires the Emergency Manager to prepare and recommend a plan,
within 60 days, to place Atlantic City's finances in stable
condition and provides the explicit authority to use any and all
lawful means, including restructuring the city's operations and
adjusting its debts to achieve that aim.

"The implementation of an Emergency Manager signals to Standard &
Poor's that the state does not view the city as capable of
resolving its challenges without outside intervention; in our view,
third-party intervention is often more draconian than the actions
taken to date and has a greater likelihood of being detrimental to
bondholders," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lindsay
Wilhelm.

The state action affects S&P's assessment of the city's overall
management conditions despite the existence of standard financial
management policies; its ability to execute on its plans to achieve
structural balance relative to revenue pressure from casino
closures and tax appeals; and its uncertain access to external
liquidity.  In S&P's view, and consistent with its rating
definitions, it believes the action could expose the city to
adverse business and financial conditions that could lead to
inadequate capacity to meet financial commitments on its
obligations.  In addition, the choice of an Emergency Manager and
Special Advisor with significant experience in corporate and
municipal bankruptcy increases our concern that the plan created
will include scenarios that lead to non-payment of the city's
bonded debt, as could happen in a debt restructuring or a
bankruptcy.

The CreditWatch placement reflects S&P's expectation that the
Emergency Manager's plan, which is due within the next 60 days,
should provide additional clarity on the path that the city and
state might pursue to stabilize the city's finances and S&P will
monitor the impact that the plan may have on the city's bonded
debt.

Other credit factors include our opinion of the Atlantic City's:

   -- Very weak management conditions, given the authority vested
      in the Emergency Manager to recommend and negotiate any and
      all lawful actions to restore the city's finances, which in
      S&P's opinion, could include bankruptcy;

   -- Weak liquidity based on our view of heightened market access

      risk due to the Emergency Manager appointment;

   -- Adequate budgetary performance, but with what S&P considers
      increased risk to the city's ability to implement its
      previous plans for structural balance;

   -- Very weak budgetary flexibility following a deficit in 2013,

      which is partially offset by significant staffing and
      expenditure reductions in 2014, but exacerbated by a limited

      ability to raise taxes to maintain a consistent tax levy;

   -- An adequate debt and contingent liability profile with rapid

      amortization, even considering the city's issuance of tax
      appeal refunding bonds; and

   -- A strong statutory Institutional Framework, though S&P's
      view could change based on the path that the state pursues
      to address Atlantic City's financial condition.

The CreditWatch reflects S&P's expectation that the Emergency
Manager's plan, which is due within the next 60 days, should
provide additional information on the path that the city and state
might pursue to stabilize Atlantic City's finances.  Should the
plan include a potential bankruptcy declaration or debt
restructuring, inconsistent with the terms of the outstanding
obligations, S&P could lower the rating to as low as the 'C'
category, barring an actual default.  Conversely, should the plan
identify structural measures outside of debt adjustment, S&P could
revise the outlook to stable, but would likely maintain the rating
in the 'BB' category based on what could be an extended timeframe
for implementation.  



AUTOCANADA INC: S&P Lowers Sr. Unsecured Debt Rating to 'B'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it lowered its issue-level
rating on auto retailer AutoCanada Inc.'s senior unsecured debt one
notch to 'B' (two notches below the corporate credit rating on
AutoCanada) from 'B+', and revised its recovery rating on the debt
to '6' from '5'.  A '6' recovery rating indicates negligible
(0%-10%) recovery in a default scenario.

At the same time Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'BB-' long-term
corporate credit rating on the company.  The outlook is stable.

"The downgrade on the debt and revised recovery rating result from
the application of our revised revolver usage assumptions and do
not reflect any change in our assessment of AutoCanada's
fundamental credit quality," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Jamie Koutsoukis.

The ratings on AutoCanada reflect Standard & Poor's assessment of
the company's business risk profile as "fair" and its financial
risk profile as "significant."  The fair business risk assessment
reflects the company's solid position as a leading auto retailer in
Canada, its diverse and complementary revenue streams (new and used
vehicle sales, parts and services, and finance and insurance), and
the company's continued good profitability, despite the competitive
market.  S&P bases its financial risk assessment of significant on
its belief that AutoCanada's adjusted leverage will remain less
than 4x and funds from operations (FFO)-to-debt will be more than
20%, despite the company's stated goal of increasing its pace of
dealership acquisitions.

AutoCanada is one of the largest auto retailers in Canada, with 34
franchised dealerships, and is the only publicly traded one in the
country.  It has four business segments -- new car sales (63% of
revenues), used car sales (21%), parts and services (10%), and
finance and insurance (6%).  The parts and services segment and
finance and insurance operations are much higher-margin businesses
and helps diversify AutoCanada's revenue stream.

The stable outlook on AutoCanada reflects Standard & Poor's belief
that the company will continue to benefit from the expected
continued solid sales growth of light vehicles in Canada.
AutoCanada will also continue to diversify its brand sales as it
increases its dealership acquisition program, while maintaining
adjusted leverage at or below 4x.

S&P could lower its ratings on AutoCanada should adjusted leverage
exceed 5x over an extended period.  This could occur due to a more
aggressive acquisition plan, the company's failure to effectively
integrate acquired operations leading to a drop in margins, or a
steep drop in demand for light vehicles if Canada slipped into a
recession.  S&P believes that the chances for these scenarios are
unlikely, however, given AutoCanada's stated goal of maintaining a
moderate leverage level, funding acquisitions with a mix of debt
and equity, management's track record of successfully integrating
acquired dealerships, and our current view on the Canadian
economy.

To raise the rating, S&P would need to view AutoCanada's diversity
and size and scale on par with its 'BB' rated North American peers.
The company's relatively smaller size, geographic concentration in
western Canada, and sales reliance on Chrysler models compare
unfavorably with those of its peers.  Alternatively, maintenance of
credit measures consistent within an intermediate financial risk
profile (adjusted leverage less than 3x and FFO to debt of more
than 30%) could also support an upgrade, although we think that is
unlikely in the near term.

As reported by the TCR on May 7, 2014, Moody's Investors Service
downgraded the ratings of Auxilium  including the Corporate Family
Rating to 'B3' from 'B2'.  "The downgrade reflects Moody's
expectations that declines in Testim, Auxilium's testosterone gel,
will materially reduce EBITDA in 2014, resulting in negative free
cash flow, a weakening liquidity profile, and extremely high
debt/EBITDA," said Moody's Senior Vice President Michael Levesque.

The TCR reported on Sept. 23, 2014, that Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its corporate credit rating on Auxilium to 'CCC+'
following the announced restructuring program and a $50 million
add-on to its existing first-lien term loan.

BIOLITEC INC: Wins 2-Year Injunction Against Biolitec AG, Biomed
----------------------------------------------------------------
Melanie L. Cyganowski -- as Chapter 11 Trustee for the estate of
Biolitec, Inc. -- and AngioDynamics, Inc., applied for an order to
show cause with temporary restraints against Biolitec U.S., Inc.
("New Biolitec"), Biolitec AG, Biolitec Medical Devices, Inc.,
Biomed Technology Holdings Ltd., CeramOptec Industries, Inc.,
Biolitec Holding US, Inc., Biolitec FZ LLC, Wolfgang Neuberger,
Jack Furcht, Scott Cote, Cemal Sagnak, Damian Plange, John Doe and
Jane Doe.  Based on evidence indicating that the Defendants may
have violated the Bankruptcy Court's order approving the sale of
substantially all of the Debtor's assets, including its customer
lists, historical customer files, and goodwill, by soliciting sales
from former customers of the Debtor, the Court granted the
Application over the Defendants' objection.  The temporary
restraints enjoined the Defendants from soliciting or contacting
the Debtor's former customers.

The Defendants moved to dissolve or modify the temporary
restraining order. With the consent of the Plaintiffs, the order
was amended to exclude restraints against contact with the Debtor's
former non-vein customers.

Evidentiary hearings on the parties' motions regarding preliminary
injunctive relief were conducted with the Court holding the TRO in
place pending the issuance of an opinion.  It was subsequently
agreed that, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a)(2),
the evidentiary hearings would constitute a trial on the merits of
AngioDynamics's claims against the Defendants.

The Plaintiffs now seek a permanent injunction restraining the
Defendants from contacting or doing business with the Debtor's
former vein customers for a period of two years following the entry
of injunctive relief.  They argue that the Defendants'
establishment of a new Biolitec entity for the purpose of
continuing the Debtor's business after the sale of substantially
all of the Debtor's assets violated the Court's sale order and
applicable law, causing AngioDynamics irreparable harm. Conversely,
the Defendants argue that their conduct complied with this Court's
order because AngioDynamics did not purchase the exclusive right to
the Debtor's customer information.  They argue further that
injunctive relief is inappropriate because it will deprive some of
the Debtor's former customers of the freedom to purchase Biolitec
products and force them to purchase AngioDynamics's competing
endovenous laser system and fibers, which they claim are not
equivalent.  Finally, as a threshold issue, the Defendants argue
that the Court lacks jurisdiction over the instant adversary
proceeding, which they maintain is solely a dispute between
non-debtor parties that involves assets transferred out of the
bankruptcy estate pursuant to an asset purchase agreement.

In a Jan. 22, 2015 Opinion available at http://is.gd/L5GXLFfrom
Leagle.com, Bankruptcy Judge Donald H. Steckroth granted the
Plaintiffs' request for preliminary and permanent injunctive
relief.  The restraints provided for in the TRO are made permanent
for a period of two years following entry of the Court's Order.

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT: Analyst Says Delaware Case Could Be Lengthy
------------------------------------------------------------------
A Delaware case for Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc.,
could be lengthy and more contentious, Tom Hals at Reuters reports,
citing Gimme Credit analyst Kim Noland.  

Reuters quoted Ms. Noland as saying, "Not only could the Delaware
venue assist the claims of the junior creditors, it might cause the
restructuring agreement that CEOC has cobbled together with a
majority of first-lien bondholders to unravel."

The Hon. Kevin Gross of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware is yet to decide on the venue of CEOC's bankruptcy
case, Reuters relates.

According to Reuters, Judge Gross said he will read his ruling at
11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, on whether the case should proceed in
Chicago -- which would be a victory for Caesars private equity
backers Apollo Global Management and TPG Capital -- or stay in
Delaware, where a group of hedge fund creditors led by Appaloosa
Management want the bankruptcy.  Judge Gross heard the final
arguments on Tuesday, Randall Chase at The Associated Press adds.


Everyone is best served through a settlement with creditors, which
would be easier to achieve under the Chicago legal standard,
otherwise, "we litigate till the end of days," Reuters states,
citing David Zott, Esq., an attorney for CEOC.

CAREFREE WILLOWS: Says AG's Interests Adequately Protected
----------------------------------------------------------
Carefree Willows, LLC, responded to senior secured creditor AG/ICC
Willows Loan Owners, L.L.C.'s opposition to its motion to use cash
collateral of AG.

According to the Debtor, AG is entitled to adequate protection for
the use of the net rents and was satisfied by the replacement lien
on future rents (which continue to increase), and the payment of
$130,000 per month.  The Debtor added that AG is not entitled to
all of the net income of the Debtor, nor does it have authority to
dictate how the Debtor may spend income in excess of the amount
necessary to adequately protect AG.  Further, the Debtor stated
that the cash collateral order is interim and modifiable.

AG, in its opposition, related that the Debtor's proven history of
bad faith conduct was reason to deny it any use of AG's cash
collateral beyond that necessary for operating and maintaining the
property.

                 Modified Cash Collateral Motion

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 5, 2015, the
Debtor asked the Bankruptcy Court to modify the order granting
authority to use cash collateral in which AG asserts an interest.

The Debtor uses the cash collateral in relation to the operation
of a retirement facility at 3250 S. Town Center Drive, Las Vegas,
Nevada.

The Debtor said that the modification is necessary because, among
other things, AG is receiving far in excess of what is required to
protect the Debtor's use of cash collateral.  The operating cash
flow of the Debtor has been and continues to increase
substantially.  Whereas Union Bank was receiving $75,000 per month
prepetition, and AG was receiving $115,000 per month as of the
date of the cash collateral order, AG is now receiving $230,000
per month.

In this relation, the Debtor requested that the order be modified
to provide that:

   A. the Debtor is not required to make monthly payments to AG in
order to adequately protect for the use of cash collateral; and

   B. AG does not have a security interest in all of the Debtor's
income.

CHOU TUNG WANG: Cal. Judge Clarifies Ruling in China Export Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the case, CHINA EXPORT FINANCE LIMITED, Plaintiff, v. SHOU TUNG
WANG, Defendant, ADV. PRO. NO. 14-05078-ASW (Bankr. N.D. Cal.),
Shou Tung Wang sought to alter or amend the Bankrutpcy Court's
Tentative Decision issued on November 13, 2014, and made final at a
hearing on that same date.  China Export Finance Limited opposed.

The China Export lawsuit is an adversary proceeding filed in the
Chapter 11 case, In re Chou Tung Wang, Case No. 14-50146-ASW
(Bankr. N.D. Cal.).  In the Decision, the Bankruptcy Court stated
its reasons for denying Wang's motion for summary judgment seeking
to avoid CEFL's judicial lien as impairing Wang's homestead. The
Court found that there was a genuine issue of material fact as to
the validity of the seven deeds of trust recorded after the
effective date of CEFL's judgment lien. In the course of analyzing
the motion, the Court stated: "CEFL contends that these deeds of
trust were fraudulently granted in an attempt to hinder and delay
CEFL's ability to collect its judgment. If that is proven, and
those liens are invalidated, CEFL's judicial lien would not be
subject to avoidance under [Sec.] 522(f) because it would no longer
impair Wang's homestead exemption."

Wang asks the Court to alter or delete the last quoted sentence.
Wang contends that the cited language conflicts with Wang's
uncontested computation in his lien avoidance motion that even if
all the individual deeds of trust were excluded from the avoidance
calculation, CEFL's judgment lien is secured in the amount of
$30,994.

The Court agrees that the Decision should be amended; the phrasing
of the sentence does not correctly reflect the Court's intention.
The sentence was not intended to be a finding by the Court, but a
statement of CEFL's position.

CEFL contends that collateral estoppel bars reconsideration and
that the motion does not meet the standard for a motion for
reconsideration. CEFL also disputes Wang's position that CEFL's
lien may still be avoided if the disputed liens are avoided.

None of these arguments is applicable, given that the phrasing of
the Decision was an oversight by the Court and does not represent
the Court's intention. It would be manifest error of fact and law
to leave the erroneous language in the Court's Decision. CEFL's
objections are overruled.

"To be clear, the Court is not making a finding as to the
avoidability of CEFL's lien. If and when the validity of the
disputed liens is litigated, the Court will consider the proper
calculation to determine whether CEFL's lien impairs Wang's
homestead exemption," said Bankruptcy Judge Arthur S. Weissbrodt in
his Jan. 21, 2015 Memorandum Decision available at

CITGO HOLDCO: Fitch Assigns 'B-' IDR; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'B-' rating to CITGO Holding, Inc.'s
(CITGO Holdco) IDR and an initial rating of 'B+/RR2' to CITGO
Holdco's Senior secured term loan and notes.  The Rating Outlook
for CITGO Holdco is Stable.

CITGO Holdco is expected to raise approximately $2.5 billion in
term loan and high yield notes.  Proceeds from the notes will be
used primarily to fund a special one-time dividend to ultimate
parent PDVSA, and fund a debt service reserve to support the
current transaction.

KEY RATINGS DRIVERS

CITGO Holdco's ratings are supported by the midstream security
pledged to debt at Holdco; other credit enhancements including
six-month debt service reserve accounts (which expand to 12 months
prior to making any distributions up to PDVSA); the strong covenant
protections in place at CITGO Petroleum Corp, which limit the
ability of PDVSA to lever that business up and impair its ability
to fund Holdco debt; as well as the solid long-term position of
CITGO's refining business, which continues to benefit substantially
from the shale revolution.

As modeled in Fitch's recovery, there is also decent residual value
available to Holdco debtholders.  In the event of liquidation, and
after CITGO Petroleum bondholders are repaid, Fitch expects that
this value would flow to Holdco bondholders given their structural
superiority to other entities in the PDVSA chain.  This results in
superior recovery prospects of RR2(+2 notches above the IDR).

CREDIT CONCERNS

Credit concerns include the structural subordination that Holdco
debt will have to debt at CITGO Petroleum Corp; the dependence of
Holdco debt upon distributions from the volatile refining business;
and Holdco's closer linkage to a financially weaker parent, PDVSA
(rated 'CCC; Stable Outlook by Fitch') when compared to its parent,
CITGO Petroleum Corp.  Fitch downgraded CITGO Petroleum Corporation
to 'B' on January 9th, in large part due to this linkage.

UNDERLYING ASSET QUALITY AT CITGO STRONG

CITGO's ratings are supported by the scale and quality of the
company's refining assets, with three high-complexity refineries
consisting of approximately 749,000 barrels per day (bpd) of
refining capacity on the Gulf Coast and Midcontinent; significant
access to price-advantaged Canadian and U.S. shale crudes,
resulting in strong financial performance and free cash flow (FCF)
before dividends; export capability out of the Gulf that allows it
to access higher growth markets abroad; and strong covenant
protections in the senior indenture, which limit the ability of
CITGO's parent to dilute CITGO's credit quality.

STRONG COVENANT PROTECTIONS

It is important to note that there are relatively robust covenant
protections in CITGO Petroleum Corp's secured debt which restrict
the ability of its parent to dilute CITGO's credit quality.  These
protections not only justify the rating differential between the
two entities, they also benefit CITGO Holdco by limiting the
ability of PDVSA to lever up the main source of Holdco's funds for
debt repayment.

Elements of this ring-fencing include a debt/cap maximum of 60%,
with a lower 55% test for purposes of making distribution to the
parent, and a restricted payment basket which limits the ability of
CITGO to make distributions to its parent.  There are no cross
defaults or guarantees between CITGO and PDVSA, CITGO's assets are
U.S. domiciled, and there are two Delaware Corporations between
PDVSA and CITGO Petroleum Corporation.

Fitch also believes it would be challenging for CITGO Petroleum
Corp to refinance its debt and thereby escape these covenants.  In
July of 2014, CITGO completed a major refinancing of virtually all
of its debt, which shares pari passu in the same security and has
the same covenant package (revolver, term loan, notes, and fixed
rate IRBs).

RATINGS SENSITIVITIES

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

   -- Improved ratings at CITGO Delaware Corp or its indirect
      parent, PDVSA; stronger structural separations between CITGO

      and PDVSA leading to a wider notching between the two; or
      enhanced asset coverage pledged at the CITGO Holdco level.

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

   -- Further weakening in credit quality at the parent level;
   -- A sustained operational problem at one or more refineries;
   -- Weakening or elimination of key covenant protections
      contained in the senior secured debt through refinancing or
      other means.

Note that this last action in particular could weaken the rationale
for the notching between CITGO and PDVSA, which would negatively
impact the ratings at CITGO Holdco.

Cloudeeva, Inc., and its affiliates sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. D.N.J. Lead Case No. 14-24874) in Trenton, New
Jersey, on July 21, 2014.  The cases are assigned to Judge Kathryn
C. Ferguson.

The Debtors subsequently filed an appeal challenging the dismissal
of their cases.

Since then, District Judge Joel A. Pisano for the District of New
Jersey entered an order staying the Case Dismissal Order pending
further proceedings.  Simultaneously, Judge Pisano reinstated the
Debtors' bankruptcy cases and authorized the Debtors to be in
possession of their assets and the management of their business as
debtors-in-possession, subject to the continuing jurisdiction of
the Bankruptcy Court and any further orders of the Bankruptcy
Court or the District Court.

Private Limited or their designee, along with their guarantee of
all payments to be made under Plan, in exchange for the equity of
the Reorganized Debtors, as agreed in the parties' Plan Support
Agreement.

The Court approved the appointment of Stephen Gray as Chapter 11
trustee for the Debtors' estate.  The Trustee is represented by
Saul Ewing LLP.



COUTURE HOTEL: Inks Deal to Settle Armed Forces Bank Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------
Couture Hotel Corp. has filed a motion seeking court approval for a
deal that would resolve its dispute with Armed Forces Bank, N.A.
over the management of its two hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The deal would resolve the issue over the appointment of a receiver
to manage the hotels, which the company purchased from Armed Forces
Bank's affiliate Nevada New River Return, LLC.

The bank extended a $6.65 million loan to Couture Hotel in
connection with its purchase of the hotels.  In August last year,
Armed Forces Bank filed a complaint in a Nevada district court in
which it sought the appointment of a receiver to manage the
hotels.

The agreement includes a proposed sale of the Las Vegas hotels to
the highest bidder under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Armed
Forces Bank agreed to credit bid the full amount of its debt, thus
eliminating any possibility of an unsecured deficiency claim
against the company.  

The agreement also resolves mutual claims between the parties,
according to court filings.

COUTURE HOTEL: May Hold Auction for Las Vegas Hotels Feb. 6
-----------------------------------------------------------
Couture Hotel Corp. said it will hold an auction on Feb. 6 if it
receives an offer for its Las Vegas hotels from another buyer.

The deadline for submitting bids has also been moved to Jan. 30,
the company said in a filing it made in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Texas.

The company owns hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada, which it bought from
Nevada New River Return LLC, an affiliate of Armed Forces Bank,
N.A.  The bank extended a $6.65 million loan to the company in
connection with its purchase of the hotels commonly known as the
Value Place Extended Stay Motel and Howard Johnson Hotel.

The Armed Forces Bank has offered to purchase the hotels through a
credit bid of $6.767 million.  Its offer will serve as the stalking
horse bid or the lead bid at the auction.  

Under its sale agreement with the bank, Couture Hotel is required
to complete the sale on or before March 1, at 10:00 a.m. (Central),
according to court filings.  A copy of the agreement is available

Judge Barbara Houser will hold a hearing on Feb. 9 to consider the
sale of the Las Vegas hotels to the winning bidder.  

Meanwhile, the proposed sale drew flak from Value Place Franchise
Services LLC and Howard Johnson International, Inc.

Value Place, which has a license agreement with Couture Hotel,
expressed concern its intellectual property, including the trade
name "Value Place," will be sold to the winning bidder.  

Howard Johnson expressed similar concern, saying it fears that its
rights under a franchise agreement with Couture Hotel will be
included in the sale.

DELUXE CORP: S&P Affirms 'BB' CCR; Outlook Remains Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its
ratings on U.S.-based Deluxe Corp., including the 'BB' corporate
credit rating.  The rating outlook remains stable.

The rating affirmation follows S&P's revision of Deluxe's financial
risk profile to "modest" from "intermediate" because the company's
adjusted funds from operations (FFO) to debt improved to about 50%
as of year-end 2014 from 40% as of year-end 2013, which is
consistent with the indicative 45%-60% ratio that S&P associates
with a "modest" financial risk profile.  "We expect adjusted
leverage to remain below the current level of about 1.4x over the
next two years," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Heidi
Zhang.

At the same time, S&P revised its comparable ratings analysis on
Deluxe to "negative" from "neutral."  Since 52% of Deluxe's
business is still in check printing, a sector in secular decline,
S&P views its business risk as less favorable than that of its
typical 'BB' rated peers.  This revision also reflects the
possibility that Deluxe will engage in more debt-financed
acquisitions to achieve its goal of growing its noncheck-related
Marketing Solutions and Other Services segment, which accounted for
30% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Deluxe will
maintain its stable operating performance and current credit
metrics, which provide it with sufficient flexibility to
accommodate potential weakness in its operating performance and to
fund some acquisitions," said Ms. Zhang.

S&P could lower the rating over the next year if the company adopts
a more ggressive financial policy or if it experiences intensified
structural pressures that increase the likelihood of leverage
rising over 2x on a sustained basis.  Factors that could contribute
to such a scenario include large debt-financed acquisitions,
significant share repurchases, higher-than-expected check volume
declines, or pressure on the Marketing Solutions and Other Services
segment.

Although highly unlikely over the next year, S&P could raise the
rating if Deluxe continues to successfully diversify its business
away from check printing into profitable businesses with solid
growth prospects, while preserving its EBITDA margin and credit
metrics.

DUNE ENERGY: Eos Tender Offer Further Extended Until Jan. 30
------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with the previously announced Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated Sept. 17, 2014, between Dune Energy, Inc., Eos Petro,
Inc., and  Eos Merger Sub, Inc., Eos and Dune have agreed to extend
the expiration of the tender offer to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Dune to Friday, Jan. 30,
2015, at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time to allow the parties
additional time to negotiate revised terms to the Merger
Agreement.

The tender offer was previously scheduled to expire on Jan. 23,
2015 at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time.  The depositary for the
tender offer has advised that, as of the close of business on Jan.
23, 2015, a total of approximately 72,301,271 shares or 98.75679%
of outstanding shares had been validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, which is sufficient to
satisfy the minimum tender condition contemplated by the Merger
Agreement.

Eos has informed Dune that, due to the recent severe decline in oil
prices, Eos cannot proceed to complete the merger and tender
described in the Merger Agreement, at least not on the terms
originally negotiated.  Because of the severe decline in oil
prices, Eos' sources of capital for the merger and tender offer
were withdrawn.  Dune and Eos are currently in the process of
negotiating potential revised terms for the Merger Agreement upon
which the merger and tender offer could still be completed.  Such
revised terms may include, but are not limited to, revising the
$0.30 per share price for the shares of Dune common stock tendered
for purchase in the tender offer.  If the parties are able to agree
on revised terms, the tender offer will remain open for a minimum
of ten business days from the date those revised terms are made
publicly available, in order to give Dune's investors adequate time
to consider the revised terms.  However, there is no assurance that
the parties will be able to agree on revised terms. If those terms
are agreed upon, the parties do not expect the revised per share
price for the shares of Dune common stock tendered for purchase in
the tender offer to be more than nominal.

activities, debt financing, sales of non-core properties and
access to capital markets.  As previously discussed, the Company
is now subject to a Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to
the Credit Agreement.  Under the terms of this agreement, we have
a borrowing base set at $40 million.  Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement, so long as we remain in compliance with the terms of
the agreement, Dune has $1 million of borrowing capacity
available.  Nevertheless, this will not provide sufficient
liquidity to continue normal operations absent a longer-term
solution prior to the end of the forbearance period.  "These and
other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern beyond Dec. 31, 2014, should the
Merger with Eos not occur," the Company stated in its quarterly
report for the period ended Sept. 30, 2014.


EPAZZ INC: KBM Worldwide Reports 9.9% Stake as of Jan. 23
---------------------------------------------------------
KBM Worldwide, Inc., disclosed in an amended Schedule 13G filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that as of Jan.
23, 2015, it beneficially owned 3,402,513 shares of common stock of
Epazz Inc. representing 9.99 percent of the shares outstanding
based on the total of 34,059,195 outstanding shares of Common
Stock.  A copy of the regulatory filing is available for free at

                          About EPAZZ Inc.

Chicago, Ill.-based EPAZZ, Inc., was incorporated in the State of
Illinois on March 23, 2000, to create software to help college
students organize their college information and resources.  The
idea behind the Company was that if the information and resources
provided by colleges and universities was better organized and
targeted toward each individual, the students would encounter a
personal experience with the college or university that could lead
to a lifetime relationship with the institution.  This concept is
already used by business software designed to retain relationships
with clients, employees, vendors and partners.

Epazz reported a net loss of $3.37 million on $750,100 of revenue
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, as compared with a net loss of
$1.90 million on $1.19 million of revenue for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2012.

As of Sept. 30, 2014, the Company had $2.38 million in total
assets, $4.29 million in total liabilities and a $1.91 million
total stockholders' deficit.

M&K CPAS, PLLC, in Houston, Texas, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted that
the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7.50 million and a
working capital deficit of $1.28 million, which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

                        Bankruptcy Warning

The Company said in the 2013 Annual Report that it will need to
raise additional funds to continue to operate as a going concern.

"We cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on
acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when
needed could limit our ability to continue and expand our
business.  We intend to overcome the circumstances that impact our
ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the
commencement of additional revenues, of which there can be no
assurance, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed
through additional equity and debt financing.  Our ability to
obtain additional funding for the remainder of the 2014 year and
thereafter will determine our ability to continue as a going
concern.  There can be no assurances that these plans for
additional financing will be successful.  Failure to secure
additional financing in a timely manner to repay our obligations
and supply us sufficient funds to continue our business operations
and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have
a material adverse effect on our financial performance, results of
operations and stock price and require us to implement cost
reduction initiatives and curtail operations.  Furthermore,
additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of our
common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary
to raise additional funds, and may require that we relinquish
valuable rights.  In the event that we are unable to repay our
current and long-term obligations as they come due, we could be
forced to curtail or abandon our business operations, and/or file
for bankruptcy protection; the result of which would likely be
that our securities would decline in value and/or become
worthless."


EXELIXIS INC: BlackRock Reports 7.4% Stake as of Dec. 31
--------------------------------------------------------
BlackRock, Inc., reported in an amended Schedule 13G filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that as of Dec. 31, 2014,
it beneficially owned 14,495,656 shares of common stock of

FANNIE MAE & FREDDIE MAC: Judge Sweeney Denies Gov't Bid for Stay
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Honorable Margaret M. Sweeney denied a request by the
government to put Fairholme Capital Management's lawsuit in the
U.S. Court of Federal Claims, contesting the legality of the
quarterly sweep of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's earnings, on ice
pending review of Judge Lamberth's decision from related lawsuits
in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the D.C.
Circuit.  Wednesday's bench ruling by Judge Sweeney means that the
Treasury Department and Federal Housing Finance Administration will
have to continue producing relevant jurisdictional discovery
material to Fairholme and other Fannie and Freddie shareholders
(including Perry Capital and Pershing Square) as they prepare their
responses to the government's motion to dismiss their lawsuits
pending in the Court of Federal Claims.

Judge Sweeney indicated at Wednesday's hearing that she will be
issuing a written opinion shortly denying the government's request
to stay the shareholders' cases that claim the government
confiscated private property without just compensation in violation
of the Fifth Amendment.

On the news of Judge Sweeney's decision in favor of the
shareholders, Fannie and Freddie securities climbed 5% to 10% in
high-volume trading Wednesday.

Fannie and Freddie shareholders are also awaiting a decision by the
Honorable Robert W. Pratt in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Iowa on the government's motion to dismiss
Continental Western's lawsuit challenging the GSE profit sweep.
Some courtroom observers believe that Judge Pratt's delay in
publishing his decision -- which is uncharacteristic based on a
review of Judge Pratt's previous published decisions in other cases
over many years -- signals that he is unlikely to follow Judge
Lamberth's decision tossing the shareholders' lawsuits in the
District of Columbia and chart a new course for Continental
Western's lawsuit that leads to a trial if a negotiated settlement
among the stakeholders is impossible.

This week, Investors Unite will host a teleconference during which
Mark A. Calabria -- mcalabria@cato.org -- of the Cato Institute and
Michael H. Krimminger, Esq. -- mkrimminger@cgsh.com -- a partner at
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, will release a new paper
which explains how the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal
Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) have breached both the spirit and the
letter of the law in their administration of the conservatorship of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  These two gentlemen should know,
because they were intimately involved in the policy discussions
that led to the creation of the 2008 Housing and Economic Recovery
Act (HERA), which allowed for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to be
placed into conservatorship.  Mr. Calabria in his capacity as the
senior professional staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking,
Housing and Urban Affairs, and Mr. Krimminger in his capacity in
policy leadership positions with the FDIC.  While with the FDIC,
Mr. Krimminger served in a number of roles including as FDIC
general counsel and Deputy to the Chairman for Policy.


FOUNDATION HEALTHCARE: Releases Preliminary Results for FY 2014
---------------------------------------------------------------
Foundation Healthcare, Inc., on Jan. 22, 2015, filed a preliminary
prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
containing the following preliminary unaudited financial results
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014.

Net patient service revenues in 2014 are expected to increase
between $12.8 million and $14.8 million over 2013, with the
increase being primarily attributable to growth in ancillary
services revenues.

Net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes in
2013 includes the impairment of goodwill associated with the
reverse acquisition related to legacy Graymark of $21.9 million and
gains associated with the El Paso Real Estate Transaction totaling
$11.1 million.  The Company initially recorded $21.9 million in
goodwill related to the reverse acquisition.  The Company then
determined the projected cash flows from the continuing operations
of the legacy Graymark business were not sufficient to support the
recorded goodwill.  The Company evaluated the fair value of the
goodwill subsequent to the reverse acquisition and determined the
acquired goodwill was fully-impaired.  On Aug. 30, 2013, the
Company completed the El Paso Real Estate Transaction which
resulted in gains of $7.1 million from the forgiveness of debt and
other liabilities and $4.0 million from the associated real estate
transaction.

                    About Foundation Healthcare

company primarily focused on owning controlling interests in

Graymark Healthcare, Inc.

Foundation Healthcare reported a net loss attributable to
Foundation Healthcare common stock of $20.4 million on $93.1
million of revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, as compared
with net income attributable to Foundation Healthcare common stock
of $2.45 million on $53 million of revenues in 2012.

Hein & Associates LLP, in Denver, Colorado, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company had insufficient working capital as of Dec. 31,
2013, to fund anticipated working capital needs over the next
twelve months.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

operations that would be of interest to the general body of
creditors.

GRIDWAY ENERGY: Judge Extends Deadline to Remove Suits to April 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Sontchi has given Gridway Energy
Holdings, Inc., until April 6 to file notices of removal of
lawsuits involving the company and its affiliates.

                       About Gridway Energy

Gridway Energy Holdings, Inc., and its affiliates, including
Glacial Energy Holdings -- providers of electricity and natural Gas
in markets that have been restructured to permit retail competition
-- sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead
Case No. 14-10833) on April 10, 2014.

The Debtors have 200,000 electric residential customers and 55,000
gash residential customers across the U.S.  A large portion of the
customers' energy consumption and revenue is generated in the
northeast U.S., Ohio, Illinois and Texas (collectively accounting
for 80% of revenue), with the remaining portion coming from
California and other states.

The Debtors blamed the bankruptcy due to lower revenue brought by
increased market competition, which caused the Debtors to default
on certain of their obligations.  Gridway defaulted on $60 million
of debt.

Prepetition, the Debtors negotiated a stock purchase transaction
with an interested buyer.  But in March 2014, the purchaser
withdrew from the transaction because of the large amount of debt
that the purchaser would become liable through a stock
transaction.

The Debtors are represented by Michael R. Nestor, Esq., Joseph M.
Barry, Esq., and Donald J. Bowman, Jr., Esq., at Young Conaway
Stargatt & Taylor, LLP; and Alan M. Noskow, Esq., and Mark A.
Salzberg, Esq., at Patton Boggs LLP.  They employed Omni Management
Group, LLC, as claims and notice agent.

Gridway Energy estimated assets of $500 million to $1 billion and
debt of more than $1 billion.

The Creditors' Committee is represented by Sharon Levine, Esq., and
Philip J. Gross, Esq., at Lowenstein Sandler LLP; and Frederick B.
Rosner, Esq., and Julia B. Klein, Esq., at The Rosner Law Group
LLC.

Vantage is represented in the case by Ingrid Bagby, Esq., David E.
Kronenberg, Esq., Kenneth Irvin, Esq., and Karen Dewis, Esq., at
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, and Jason M. Madron, Esq., at
Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A.


GT ADVANCED: Shareholders Denied Role in Bankruptcy
---------------------------------------------------
Sara Randazzo, writing for Daily Bankruptcy Review, reported that
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Henry Boroff denied a request by GT Advanced
Technologies Inc. shareholders to have a voice in the former Apple
Inc. supplier's bankruptcy, though he left open the possibility for
the group to come back with a new proposal.

According to the report, Judge Boroff issued the one-paragraph
denial after a hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Springfield,
Mass.  The shareholders had argued they should be given an official
role in the case -- with expenses paid for out of the debtor's
coffers -- because GT Advanced's business is still worth enough to
leave a payout for them, the report related.

                  About GT Advanced Technologies

Headquartered in Merrimack, New Hampshire, GT Advanced Technologies
Inc. -- http://www.gtat.com/-- produces materials and equipment
for the electronics industry.  On Nov. 4, 2013, GTAT announced a
multiyear supply deal with Apple Inc. to produce sapphire glass
material for use in consumer electronics products.

Under the deal, Apple would provide GTAT with a prepayment of
approximately $578 million paid in four installments and, starting
in 2015, GTAT would reimburse Apple for the prepayment over a
five-year period.

GT is a publicly held corporation whose stock was traded on NASDAQ
under the ticker symbol "GTAT."  GTAT was de-listed from the NASDAQ
stock exchange in October 2014.

As of June 28, 2014, the GTAT Group's unaudited and consolidated
financial statements reflected assets totaling $1.5 billion and
liabilities totaling $1.3 billion.  As of Sept. 29, 2014, GTAT had
$85 million in cash, $84 million of which is unencumbered.

On Oct. 6, 2014, GT Advanced Technologies and eight affiliates
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D.N.H. Lead Case No. 14-11916).  GT
says that it has sought bankruptcy protection due to a severe
liquidity crisis brought about by its issues with Apple.

The Debtors have tapped Nixon Peabody LLP and Paul Hastings LLP as
attorneys and Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as claims and
noticing agent.

The U.S. Trustee has named seven members to the Official Committee
of Unsecured Creditors.  The Committee' professionals are Kelley

sapphire furnaces that GT Advanced owns and has four years to sell,
with proceeds going to Apple.  In addition, Apple gets
royalty-free, non-exclusive licenses for GTAT's technology.

revenues in 2012.

The Company's balance sheet at Sept. 30, 2014, showed $2.88
million in total assets, $12.4 million in total liabilities and a
$9.51 million total stockholders' deficit.

Gumbiner Savett Inc., in Santa Monica, California, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013.  The independent auditors noted
that the Company incurred net losses in previous years, and as of
Dec. 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of
approximately $12.08 million and a total stockholders' deficit of
approximately $12.4 million.  The Company anticipates that it will
not have sufficient cash flow to fund its operations in the near
term and through fiscal 2014 without the completion of additional
financing.  These factors, among other things, raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As reported by the TCR on June 26, 2014, Fitch Ratings had
affirmed the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of iStar Financial
at 'B'.  The 'B' IDR is driven by improvements in the company's
leverage, continued demonstrated access to the capital markets and
new sources of growth capital and material reductions in non-
performing loans (NPLs).

Services affirmed its 'B+' long-term issuer credit rating on iStar
Financial.

In October 2012, Moody's Investors Service upgraded the corporate
family rating to 'B2' from 'B3'.  The current rating reflects the
REIT's success in extending near term debt maturities and
improving fundamentals in commercial real estate.  The ratings on
the October 2012 senior secured credit facility takes into account
the asset coverage, the size and quality of the collateral pool,
and the term of facility.


KOPPERS HOLDINGS: Moody's Affirms B3 Corporate Family Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service lowered Koppers Holdings Inc.'s
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating to SGL-3 from SGL-2 following
the company's decision to postpone its unsecured bond offering.
Moody's also affirmed the company's existing ratings, including the
Ba3 Corporate Family Rating ("CFR"), and has withdrawn the rating
assigned to the proposed unsecured notes. The rating outlook
remains negative.

"We believe that the covenant cushion will be tighter as a result
of the postponed bond deal," said Ben Nelson, Moody's Assistant
Vice President and lead analyst for Koppers Holdings Inc.

The actions:

Issuer: Koppers Holdings Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Ba3;

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Ba3-PD;

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Lowered to SGL-3 from SGL-2;

Outlook, Remains Negative.

Issuer: Koppers Inc.

$300 million Senior Secured Notes due 2019, Affirmed Ba3 (LGD3);

$400 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2020, Withdrawn;

Outlook, Remains Negative.

Ratings Rationale

The Ba3 CFR is principally constrained by industry-related risks
that will make it difficult for the company to return credit
metrics to appropriate levels following the debt-funded acquisition
of certain businesses from Osmose in August 2014. Moody's estimates
financial leverage in the low 5 times (Debt/EBITDA) and interest
coverage in the mid 3 times (EBITDA/Interest) on a pro forma basis
for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014. The rating is also
constrained by exposure to cyclical end markets, volatile
feedstocks, weakening competitive position in several key products
(competitors use an alternative feedstock), legal and environmental
risks, and high customer concentration. The rating considers
favorably solid operational and geographic diversity, strong market
shares in certain businesses, stability in demand over the cycle, a
dearth of available substitutes for some key products, and good
liquidity.

The SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating reflects adequate
liquidity to support operations for at least the next several
quarters. Moody's expects free cash flow will be very modest in
2015. Koppers reported $75 million of cash and over $200 million of
revolver availability on a pro forma basis at September 30, 2014.
The credit agreement contains two financial maintenance covenants:
a senior secured leverage ratio test set at 5.50x and a fixed
charge coverage ratio test set at 1.1x. The company reported 4.4x
and 2.7x, respectively, on these covenants at September 30, 2014.
While the cushion of compliance is reasonable at present, Moody's
expects it will narrow in the coming quarters with weakening
financial performance and scheduled step-downs on the secured
leverage covenant to 5.25x at 4Q14 and 5.00x at 4Q15. Moody's would
lower the short-term liquidity rating to SGL-4 if Moody's expected
a covenant breach in the next 12-15 months.

The negative rating outlook reflects expectations for financial
leverage to remain above 4 times at least through the end of 2015.
Moody's could downgrade the rating if, over the next few quarters,
the company does not demonstrate clear progress towards getting
back on track to reduce leverage to below 4 times, raise retained
cash flow-to-debt in the low-to-mid teens, and improve proactively
its liquidity position. An upgrade is unlikely at the current time
given the company's weak metrics. But, Moody's could upgrade the
rating if the company's leverage is sustained below 3 times,
generates free cash flow consistently in excess of 10% of debt, and
maintains solid liquidity to cover unforeseen expenses.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Chemical
Industry Rating Methodology published in December 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.

Koppers Holdings Inc. produces carbon compounds and treated wood
products used in the aluminum, chemical, railroad, residential
lumber, and steel industries. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pa., the
company generated $1.4 billion in revenue for the twelve months
ended September 30, 2014, or about $1.8 billion on a pro forma
basis considering the acquisition of certain businesses from Osmose
Holdings, Inc. in August 2014.



LDK SOLAR: Bankr. Case Reassigned to Judge L. Silverstein
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge Brendan Linehan Shannon on Jan. 7, 2015, entered an order
transferring the Chapter 11 case of LDK Solar Systems, Inc. and all
associated cases to Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein.

              Schemes of Arrangement Become Effective

LDK Solar and its Joint Provisional Liquidators, Tammy Fu and
Eleanor Fisher, both of Zolfo Cooper (Cayman) Limited, said on
Dec. 10, 2014, that the Cayman Islands schemes of arrangement in
respect of LDK Solar and LDK Silicon & Chemical Technology Co.,
Ltd. and the Hong Kong schemes of arrangement in respect of LDK
Solar, LDK Silicon and LDK Silicon Holding Co., Limited became
effective as of that day.  The Cayman Islands schemes of
arrangement were previously sanctioned by the Grand Court of the
Cayman Islands, and the Hong Kong schemes of arrangement were
previously sanctioned by the High Court of Hong Kong.

LDK Solar and the JPLs also confirmed that pursuant to an order of
the Cayman Court dated Dec. 10, 2014, the powers of the JPLs were
suspended (except for certain residual powers required to finalize
the provisional liquidation) and the powers of the directors of
LDK Solar were restored. With effect from December 10, the
directors may exercise all their powers as such, subject to the
powers granted to the scheme supervisors in respect of the
Schemes.

Pursuant to the terms of the Schemes, the consummation of the
restructuring transactions as contemplated in the Schemes was to
occur on Dec. 17, 2014.

On Dec. 18, 2014, LDK stated that, pursuant to the terms of the
Cayman Islands schemes of arrangement in respect of LDK Solar and
LDK Silicon & Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. and the Hong Kong
schemes of arrangement in respect of LDK Solar, LDK Silicon and
LDK Silicon Holding Co., Limited, the closing date for the
restructuring transactions in respect of LDK Solar's senior
noteholders and preferred shareholders, as contemplated in the
Schemes, occurred on Dec. 17, 2014.

17, 2014 from the holders of LDK Solar's 10% Senior Notes due
2014, as guarantors of the Senior Notes, and required such holders
of the Senior Notes to return their ballots by Oct. 15, 2014.
Holders of the Senior Notes voted overwhelmingly in favor of
accepting the Prepackaged Plan.


LEMINGTON HOME: 3rd Cir. Lifts Punitive Damages Imposed on Board
----------------------------------------------------------------
Saranac Hale Spencer, writing for The Legal Intelligencer, reports
that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit had tossed the
punitive damages that a jury imposed on five board members of The
Lemington Home for the Aged due to insufficient evidence.

The Legal Intelligencer recalls that a six-day trial in 2013
resulted in the jury's imposition of a total of $3.5 million in
punitive damages.

Judge Thomas I. Vanaskie, according to The Legal Intelligencer,
tossed the $350,000 in punitive damages that had been assessed
against each of those five members of the board.  The report quoted
him as saying, "Insufficient evidence was presented to support a
finding that any of them possessed a sufficiently culpable state of
mind to warrant the imposition of the 'extreme remedy' of punitive
damages, which Pennsylvania courts have cautioned should be awarded
'in only the most exceptional matters.'"

The Legal Intelligencer relates that the Appeals Court upheld the
bulk of the punitive damages doled out by the jury -- $1 million
against CFO James Shealey and $750,000 against administrator and
CEO Mel Lee Causey.

According to The Legal Intelligencer, Judge Vanaskie said, "The
evidence presented to the jury did not contain the minimum quantum
of proof of outrageous conduct necessary to support a punitive
damages award against any of the director defendants.  We will
therefore vacate the punitive damages imposed against five of the
director defendants.  However, because we conclude that adequate
state-of-mind evidence was presented to support a finding that
Shealey and Causey acted 'outrageously,' we will affirm the jury's
punitive damages verdict as to them."

"In addition to the evidence of self-dealing, the officer
defendants' state of mind was illuminated by their own testimony at
trial.  Both Causey and Shealey responded evasively under
cross-examination to questions about their conduct, allowing the
jury to infer that they had acted culpably and continued to avoid
recognizing the gravity of their misconduct," The Legal
Intelligencer quoted Judge Vanaskie as saying.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Lemington Home for the
aged -- http://www.lemington.org/-- operated a nursing home for  
the elderly.  The facility filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr.
W.D. Penn. Case No. 05-24500) on April 13, 2005 .  James E.
Van Horn, Esq., Mark E. Freedlander, Esq., at McGuire Woods LLP
represent the Debtor.  When the Debtor filed for Chapter 11
protection from its creditors, it estimated assets and debts of
$1 million to $10 million.

The Committee of Unsecured Creditors was appointed two weeks after
the bankruptcy filing.  W. Terrence Brown was hired by one of
Lemington's creditors to investigate the company's financial
situation.

Counsel to the Committee are Robert S. Bernstein, Esq., Kirk B.
Burkley, Esq., and Nicholas D. Krawec, Esq., at Krawec Bernstein
Law Firm, PC.


LONGVIEW POWER: Amends Plan to Include Insurer, Contractors Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Longview Power, LLC, et al., filed a second amended joint plan of
reorganization to incorporate the approval of the settlement among
the Debtors, First American Title Insurance Company, and their
contractors Amec Foster Wheeler North America, Kvaerner North
American Construction, Inc., and Siemens Energy, Inc.

Under the settlement, First American will deliver $41 million to an
escrow agent, Longview will deliver $2 million to the escrow agent,
and Siemens will deliver $12.5 million to the escrow agent.  The
settlement also provides that the escrow agent will deliver $48
million to Kvaerner and $7.5 million to Foster Wheeler.

The settlement will end litigation between Longview and insurer
First American over the payout of a policy covering the builders'
senior claims.  There was an impending trial on whether an $825
million policy issued by First American is property of Longview's
bankrupt estate and whether this policy can be used to pay claims
of contractors.

Under the Second Amended Plan, general unsecured claims (Class 7)
are impaired and are entitled to vote.  If Class 7 votes to accept
the Plan, holders will receive cash in an amount equal to the
lesser of (x) their pro rata share of the unsecured creditor cash
pool or (y) 22.07% of their allowed general unsecured claim.  If
Class 7 votes to reject the Plan, they will receive cash in an
amount equal to the lesser of (x) their pro rata share of the
unsecured rejecting creditor cash pool or (y) 5.52% of their
allowed general unsecured claim.

A hearing on the approval of the Disclosure Statement and
solicitation procedures is scheduled for Feb. 18, 2015, at 11:00
a.m., prevailing Eastern Time.  Objections to the approval of the
Disclosure Statement are due Feb. 9.

Subject to the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware, the Debtors propose to set a hearing on
confirmation of their Second Amended Plan for March 13, 2015, with
a continued voting deadline and plan objection deadline of
March 9.

an assertion which is "now in dispute."

Mr. Stanford said that the Company plans to "obtain authorization

do business," The Dallas Morning News states.

The Chapter 11 filing is "not relevant" to any other Cedars

MOTORS LIQUIDATION: Circuit Orders Partial Judgment for Committee
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a
decision with respect to the avoidance action captioned Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Co. v.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al., Adv. Pro. No. 09-00504 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. July 31, 2009).

As disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 2014, filed on May 22, 2014, the Committee of
Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Company, on behalf of
Motors Liquidation Company and its affiliated debtors and
debtors-in-possession, commenced the Term Loan Avoidance Action on
July 31, 2009, which seeks the return of approximately $1.5 billion
that had been transferred by the Debtors to a consortium of
prepetition lenders to Motors Liquidation Company (formerly known
as General Motors Corporation, or Old GM), in respect of a term
loan extended by those Secured Lenders (and which consortium of
Secured Lenders asserted that they had a perfected $1.5 billion
security interest in certain assets of Old GM, which was
principally reflected in one specific Delaware UCC-1 financing
statement filed in respect of certain equipment of Old GM).  The
Committee has asserted that such UCC-1 was effectively terminated
when an amendment on Delaware form UCC-3 was filed in respect of
that UCC-1 security interest.  The administrative agent for the
Term Loan has disputed that assertion on a number of grounds,
including by asserting that the termination was unintended and that
the UCC-3 was unauthorized.

On June 17, 2014, the Second Circuit certified a threshold question
to the Delaware Supreme Court in the Term Loan Avoidance Action, as
follows: Under UCC Article 9, as adopted into Delaware law by Del.
Code Ann. tit. 6, art. 9, for a UCC-3 termination statement to
effectively extinguish the perfected nature of a UCC-1 financing
statement, is it enough that the secured lender review and
knowingly approve for filing a UCC-3 purporting to extinguish the
perfected security interest, or must the secured lender intend to
terminate the particular security interest that is listed on the
UCC-3?  After accepting the question and following briefing to and
oral argument before the Delaware Court, on Oct. 17, 2014, the
Delaware Court answered the certified question as follows: It is
enough that the secured lender review and knowingly approve for
filing a UCC-3 purporting to extinguish the perfected security
interest.  Following the Delaware Court's answer to the certified
question, the appeal of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York's Order on Cross-Motions for Summary
Judgment and Judgment remained pending before the Second Circuit.

In its Jan. 21, 2015, decision, the Second Circuit, after taking
into account the Delaware Court's answer to the certified question,
reversed the Bankruptcy Court's grant of summary judgment for the
Administrative Agent, holding that the Administrative Agent had
authorized the filing of the UCC-3 and thereby extinguished the
perfected security interest in the relevant collateral.  The Second
Circuit instructed the Bankruptcy Court to enter partial summary
judgment for the Committee.

The GUC Trust Administrator anticipates that the Bankruptcy Court
will schedule a status conference to determine the next steps in
the litigation, including possible proceedings to determine the
value of any collateral securing the Term Loan that may be
unaffected by the Second Circuit's decision.

To the extent that the Committee's action is successful in
obtaining the return of proceeds previously transferred by the
Debtors to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Lenders in
respect of the Term Loan, the amount so returned will give rise to
claims (which are referred to as the Term Loan Avoidance Action
Claims) in the amount so returned.  The holders of those claims
would be entitled to receive a distribution of reserved common
stock of General Motors Company, including with respect to common
stock that has been set aside from distribution, reserved or sold,
any cash and cash equivalents held by the Motors Liquidation
Company GUC Trust related to such common stock, any New GM Common
Stock that has been set aside from distribution, reserved or sold,
any Dividend Cash related to such New GM Common Stock, and the New
GM Warrants, which include the warrants to acquire shares of New GM
Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share and the
warrants to acquire shares of New GM Common Stock at an exercise
price of $18.33 per share and reserved units representing
contingent rights to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional
shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants from the GUC
Trust, which would reduce the amount of New GM Securities available
for distribution in the future to holders of GUC Trust Units.

The proper beneficiaries of the proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance
Action, if any, is a matter that is currently in dispute.  As such,
while the successful prosecution of, and recovery under, the Term
Loan Avoidance Action will result in the incurrence of additional
Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims, it is not known whether holders
of general unsecured claims against the Debtors that are allowed at
any given time will benefit from any cash recovered under the Term
Loan Avoidance Action.  Moreover, following the change of the form
of the GUC Trust Units into book-entry form only, represented by
one or more global certificates registered in the name of DTC, as
depositary, or Cede & Co., its nominee, for so long as DTC is
willing to act in that capacity, beneficial interests in the trust
established under the Debtors' Second Amended Joint Chapter 11
Plan, filed with the Bankruptcy Court on March 18, 2011 for the
purpose of holding and prosecuting the Term Loan Avoidance Action
remained with holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, rather
than beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units.  As such, a holder of a GUC
Trust Unit that does not hold a corresponding Allowed General
Unsecured Claim will potentially have its recovery diluted through
the incurrence of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims by the GUC
Trust, without receiving the benefit of any cash recovered pursuant
to the Term Loan Avoidance Action.

NII HOLDINGS: AT&T Requires Auction, Sale Hearing in March
----------------------------------------------------------
NIU Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of NII Holdings, Inc., on January
26, 2015, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with New
Cingular Wireless Services, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of AT&T,
Inc., NIHD Telecom Holdings B.V., Nextel International (Uruguay)
LLC, and certain Seller guarantors named therein, pursuant to which
AT&T has agreed to purchase all of the outstanding stock of Nextel
Mexico Parent, the parent of Comunicaciones Nextel de Mexico, S.A.
de C.V.  The Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price of
approximately $1.875 billion in cash.

The sale transaction is required to be conducted as an auction
pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and is subject to
higher or better offers. The auction sale will be conducted in
accordance with the bidding procedures to be approved by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.  

The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by AT&T if:

     -- the Bidding Procedures Order has not been entered by
        the Bankruptcy Court on or before February 17, 2015;

     -- the Auction is not held on or before March 20, 2015,
        unless an Auction is not required to be held pursuant
        to the terms of the Bidding Procedures;

     -- the Sale Hearing is not held on or before March 23, 2015;
        or

     -- the Sale Order has not become a Final Order or is not
        capable of becoming a Final Order on or before April 6,
        2015.

Both Purchaser or Seller may terminate the deal if the Closing has
not occurred by 5:00 p.m. local time in Mexico City, Mexico on June
30, 2015.  The Closing may be extended to September 30, 2015, if
the parties agree.

The successful bidder will be required to consummate the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with its terms. The sale transaction is
expected to close in the first half of 2015.

The purchase price is subject to adjustment prior to closing based
on (i) the amount of an agreed net indebtedness of Nextel Mexico
outstanding at closing and (ii) the actual amount paid by Nextel
Mexico between signing and closing of the Purchase Agreement with
respect to specified categories of expenses relative to spending
against an agreed budget between signing and closing of the
Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides that
approximately $32 million of the purchase price will be deposited
and held in escrow to secure specified obligations of AT&T under
the Purchase Agreement. In addition, if AT&T is not the successful
bidder, Nextel Mexico Parent will be required to pay AT&T a
termination fee equal to approximately $32 million, reimburse
AT&T's expenses (up to $10 million) and return the deposit.

Completion of the sale is subject to several conditions, including:
(i) the Bankruptcy Court having entered all appropriate orders;
(ii) obtaining all required governmental approvals; (iii) the
absence of a material adverse effect on Nextel Mexico; and (iv)
certain other customary conditions. The Purchase Agreement is not
subject to a financing condition. The Purchase Agreement includes a
right for each party to terminate the agreement in specified
circumstances. The Purchase Agreement requires the Seller to pay
the termination fee and reimburse AT&T's expenses as described
above upon certain termination events. If the Purchase Agreement is
terminated as a result of AT&T's breach of the Purchase Agreement,
the deposit is forfeited.

Pending consummation of the Purchase Agreement, Nextel Mexico has
agreed to (i) conduct its business in the ordinary course
consistent with past practice and (ii) use commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain and preserve intact its business organization
and preserve intact certain business relationships and
relationships with applicable regulatory authorities. The Purchase
Agreement provides that $187.5 million of the purchase price will
be held in escrow for two years in case of breaches by Nextel
Mexico of representations, warranties and covenants.

On November 24, 2014, the Company and 12 of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, which had previously sought bankruptcy protection,
filed a plan of reorganization and related disclosure materials
with th. Bankruptcy Court based on a Plan Support Agreement that
had been reached with certain of their major stakeholders,
including their two largest creditors and the official committee of
unsecured creditors.  Because the transactions pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement are inconsistent with terms of the Plan Support
Agreement, the Company has exercised its right to terminate the
Plan Support Agreement in its existing form, and expects to engage
with its major stakeholders in an effort to gain support for
modifications to the Plan that will allow it and its subsidiaries
to emerge from Chapter 11 reorganization.

Nextel Mexico provides wireless services in major Mexican business
centers, including Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puebla, Leon,
Monterrey, Toluca, Tijuana, Torreon, Ciudad Juarez and Cancun, as
well as in small markets and along related transportation corridors
throughout Mexico. Nextel Mexico is headquartered in Mexico City
and has many regional offices throughout Mexico.

NPS PHARMACEUTICALS: Shire Amends Tender Offer Statement
--------------------------------------------------------
An amendment to the tender offer statement on Schedule To has been
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Shire
plc, Shire Pharmaceutical Holdings Ireland Limited, and Knight
Newco 2, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of each of Shire
and SPHIL, on Jan. 23, 2015.  The Schedule TO relates to the offer
by Shire to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share, of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., for $46.00
per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any
required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated Jan. 23, 2015,
and in the related Letter of Transmittal.

The first paragraph under the heading "16. Certain Legal Matters;
Regulatory Approvals -- Litigation Related to the Merger" of the
Offer to Purchase was amended and restated in its entirety to read
as follows:

"As of January 26, 2015, we are aware of four putative class action
lawsuits challenging the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, filed by purported NPS stockholders, in the Delaware
Court of Chancery against various combinations of NPS, the members
of the NPS Board, Shire, SPHIL and Purchaser.  The actions are
captioned Bragger v. NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Case No.
10553-VCN, Grimaldi v. NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Case No.
10563-VCN, Goldstein v. NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Case No.
10577-VCN and Mantler v. NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al., Case No.
10580-VCN.  The complaints generally allege, among other things,
that the NPS Board breached its fiduciary duties to NPS's
stockholders, and that the corporate defendants aided and abetted
those breaches, by engaging in a flawed sales process, agreeing to
a transaction price that does not adequately compensate
stockholders and agreeing to certain deal protection provisions in
the Merger Agreement that the plaintiff alleges impede or preclude
a potential topping bid.  The complaints seek, among other things,
to enjoin the Defendants from consummating the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, damages, and an award of
attorneys' fees and costs."

The following text was added to Items 1 through 9, and Item 11 of
the Schedule TO:

On January 23, 2015, Shire noted the announcement on January 23,
2015 by NPS that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
approved NATPARA(R) (parathyroid hormone) as an adjunct to calcium
and vitamin D to control hypocalcemia in patients with
hypoparathyroidism.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved NATPARA
(parathyroid hormone) as an adjunct to calcium and vitamin D to
control hypocalcemia in patients with hypoparathyroidism.
Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by
insufficient levels of parathyroid hormone, or PTH.  NATPARA is a
bioengineered replica of human PTH.  NPS has previously indicated
that this product is expected to be available in the second quarter
of 2015.

Shire's chief executive officer, Flemming Ornskov, MD, MPH,
commented:

"The FDA's approval of NATPARA provides a new treatment option for
patients with hypoparathyroidism - a devastating rare disease with
significant unmet need.  The NATPARA label is in line with our
expectations, and we believe this approval further validates
Shire's decision to acquire NPS Pharma, which is an excellent
strategic fit allowing us to leverage our  market expertise, core
capabilities in rare disease patient management, and global
footprint.  We look forward to combining our strengths with NPS
Pharma to launch NATPARA in the U.S. after the expected close of
the transaction in Q1 of this year."

Pending satisfaction of customary closing conditions, it is
anticipated that the transaction will close during the first
quarter of 2015.

OCWEN FINANCIAL: Moody's Affirms B3 CFR & Caa3 Sr. Debt Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the following ratings; the
outlook is negative:

Ocwen Financial Corporation (Ocwen) -- Corporate Family Rating at
B3; Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility at B3; Senior Unsecured
Debt at Caa1

Altisource Solutions S.a.r.l. (Altisource) -- Corporate Family
Rating at B3; Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility at B3

Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd (HLSS) -- Corporate Family
Rating at B3; Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility at B3

Ratings Rationale

The affirmation balances the positive developments with respect to
Ocwen's settlement with the California Department of Business
Oversight (DBO), along with the potential exposure to other
investigations, litigation and claims that exist or could be
prompted by recent actions taken by regulators and stakeholders.

On 23 January, Ocwen reached a settlement with the DBO for a modest
$2.5 million fine and an agreement to install a third party auditor
for a minimum of two years. The DBO withdrew its request for an
administrative hearing to consider suspending Ocwen's California
mortgage servicing license for up to one year. While an agreement
has been reached with respect to supplying the information the DBO
requested, the DBO still has to determine Ocwen's compliance with
California's Homeowner's Bill of Rights (HBR), a package of
amendments to the California Civil Code that became law in January
2013 to protect homeowners. The installation of a third party
auditor increases the likelihood of Ocwen being found to be
non-compliant, but given the settlement, Moody's doesn't currently
envision Ocwen losing its mortgage servicing license in
California.

Offsetting this positive development, on 23 January, HLSS received
notice of an alleged event of default under its servicer advance
securitization. Additionally, Ocwen received notice from a number
of investors in 119 of its private label mortgage-backed
securitizations (PLMBS) of a potential servicer default. Both
allegations claim Ocwen has failed to comply with covenants under
MBS servicer agreements. If Ocwen has failed to comply with these
covenants, the breach would be deemed an event of default under
HLSS' servicer advance facility unless the facility is paid down
with respect to the disqualified collateral or qualifying
collateral is substituted.

If a default is deemed to have occurred on HLSS' servicer advance
facility, HLSS would lose it primary source of funding. Moody's
expects that HLSS would be able to amend or refinance its existing
facilities if forced to do so, given the quality of servicer
advances.

In the event that an Ocwen servicer default is deemed, Ocwen could
be terminated as servicer. Although in such an event servicing
could be transferred without compensation, Moody's believes this is
rare and, to keep the transfer as orderly, Ocwen and in turn HLSS
would likely receive compensation.

The negative outlook reflects the uncertain outcome of the DBO's
HBR examination, as well as potential exposure to other
investigations or litigation that exist or could be prompted by
recent actions taken by other regulators and stakeholders. HLSS's
and Altisource's negative outlook reflects its reliance on Ocwen.
In the event that Ocwen's ratings are downgraded, the ratings of
HLSS and Altisource would likely also be downgraded.

Ocwen's ratings could be downgraded if the company is deemed to be
in default under its PLMBS, or if the company: 1) sells servicing
at a material discount to fair value; 2) transfers subservicing
resulting in materially lower net income; or 3) is terminated as
servicer without compensation. In addition, negative ratings
pressure on Ocwen's ratings could result if the company's liquidity
erodes or the company's financial fundamentals weaken, for example,
if TCE to tangible assets falls below 7.5%.

Negative ratings pressure on HLSS' ratings could result if the
company loses its primary source of funding for its servicer
advance assets. Negative rating pressure could also result if the
company's financial fundamentals weaken, with particular focus on:
a) adequate funding availability and b) financial leverage.

Additional negative ratings pressure on Altisource's ratings could
result if it loses its contract with Ocwen or if the company's
profitability materially deteriorates for an extended period of
time or leverage materially increases.

Given the negative outlook, upgrades to Ocwen's, HLSS', or
Altisource's ratings are unlikely at this time.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Finance Company
Global Rating Methodology published in March 2012.

PLATFORM SPECIALTY: Moody's Affirms B1 Corporate Family Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed Platform Specialty Products
Corporation's Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") at B1 and affirmed
the B1 ratings on the proposed new Term Loan and B2 on the new
unsecured notes following the change in capital structure. Platform
has decreased the size of its new Senior Secured Term Loan to $600
million from $1.1 billion and increased the size of its new Senior
Unsecured Notes due 2022 to $1,520 million from $920 million, the
Euro denominated Term Loan add-on and Notes tranche remain the same
at approximately $100 million and $420 million, respectively. The
additional $100 million in long term debt will be used to fund
expected working capital requirements at close, due to the
seasonality of the agricultural business, and for bond interest
prepayment. The final structure completes the funding for the $3.51
billion acquisition of Arysta LifeScience Limited, parent of Arysta
LifeScience SPC, LLC (B2 stable), whose ratings will be withdrawn
upon the completion of the transaction.

Moody's changed the Loss Given Default (LGD) rating on the Senior
Unsecured Notes to LGD4 from LGD5 and also affirmed the B1 ratings
on the company's existing secured debt. The Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating is affirmed at SGL-3 and the outlook is negative.

The following summarizes the actions:

Ratings Affirmed:

Platform Specialty Products Corporation

Corporate Family Rating -- B1

Probability of Default -- B1-PD

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating SGL-3

$1,520 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022 -- B2, to LGD4 from
LGD5

MacDermid Inc.

$300 million Senior Secured Revolver -- B1, LGD3

$1,185 million Senior Secured Term Loan -- B1, LGD3

$500 million Senior Secured Term Loan -- B1, LGD3

MacDermid Agricultural Solutions Holdings BV

$345 million Senior Secured Term Loan (Euro) -- B1, LGD3

These ratings are subject to Moody's review of the final terms and
conditions of the proposed transaction. In particular, the ratings
assume that the $600 million proposed term loans (with $500 million
USD denominated loans and $100 million equivalent of Euro
denominated loans, approximately €83 million) will have the same
guarantors and share the same collateral as the existing loans,
including: (i) guarantees by all material subsidiaries; (ii) a
first lien senior secured position in fixed assets, accounts
receivables, and inventory, and (iii) that $1.520 billion senior
unsecured notes due 2022 will be issued to complete the funding for
the Arysta acquisition (with an expected $1.1 billion denominated
in USD and $420 million equivalent Euro denomination, approximately
€350 million). If the final debt amounts differ from the
proposed, the ratings could be changed.

Ratings Rationale

Platform's B1 CFR is constrained by the company's elevated pro
forma leverage (5.9x PF LTM September 30, 2014 and 5.4x including
synergies), the significant integration risks associated with three
recent acquisitions that have nearly quadrupled the size of the
company, and expectations of continued acquisition-driven growth,
as a result of the company's stated tactic of being an acquirer and
consolidator of specialty chemicals businesses globally.
Furthermore, the company's liquidity is pressured by increased
working capital demands from the new agricultural business silo,
debt costs, and integration expenses. The rating is supported by:
the improved size; increasingly diverse revenue stream; and strong
margins and cash flow generating capabilities of the combined
businesses, which benefit from geographic, operational, and product
diversity through its global footprint, with significant operations
in the US, Europe, and Asia. These factors lend stability to the
company's EBITDA generation compared to some peers in the chemical
and agricultural industries. (All ratios include Moody's Standard
Adjustments.)

The rating contemplates the recently acquired businesses of
Agriphar and AgroSolutions as well as the pending acquisition of
Arysta, which add a new agricultural chemicals business silo to
Platform. Platform is acquiring the three businesses for a combined
cost of $5.0 billion with a combination of debt and equity, where
the equity contribution totals over $2.1 billion (over 40% of the
acquisition value). While the equity contribution is substantial,
the size of the acquisitions relative to the prior Platform
businesses elevates integration risks. Furthermore leverage will
start out above management's stated net leverage target of 4.5x,
which will delay the return of metrics to levels that fully support
the rating, especially if the company undertakes additional debt
financed transactions in the second half of 2015.

Supporting the rating is Platform's historic ability (through the
MacDermid legacy business) to generate positive free cash flow
throughout the business cycle and track record of improving margins
to levels reflective of specialty chemicals (above 15%). The legacy
company enjoys strong market positions in certain niche markets,
modest capital expenditure requirements, and has limited exposure
to volatile raw materials costs. The majority of Platform's raw
materials are not petrochemical-based, therefore, the company does
not experience the same cost volatility as other chemical firms.
The rating also reflects Platform's exposure to cyclical
end-markets such as automotive, commercial packaging and consumer
electronics (printed circuit boards) through its Performance
Materials and Graphic Solutions segments. While this exposure will
decline with the addition of the AgroSolutions, Agriphar, and
Arysta businesses, the Performance Materials and Graphic Solutions
segments will continue to contribute approximately 25% of revenue.

Moody's expects the company to achieve the planned synergies by
2017 and reduce adjusted financial leverage to below 5.0x by the
end of 2015. The calculation incorporates $25 million of synergies,
and Moody's Standard Adjustments including the capitalization of
operating leases, debt attribution for the underfunded portion of
defined benefit pension plans, and 100% debt treatment for
convertible preferred stock contingent liability. Including the
aforementioned adjustments, Moody's estimates pro forma adjusted
financial leverage near 5.9x (excluding synergies) and 5.4x
(including synergies) for the twelve months ended September 31,
2014. Moody's expects meaningful seasonal revolving credit facility
use, one-time expenses associated with synergies, and the potential
for more acquisitions, but limited capex spending. Because cash
flow generation will be used to support interest expense and
working capital, which will be significantly higher as a result of
the Arysta transaction, incremental acquisitions could result in a
lower rating unless structured with equity such that pro forma
leverage is lowered. Please note that the press release dated
January 12th and 13th failed to include $300 million in term loan
debt that the company used to acquire Agriphar (this $300million is
also not included in the pro forma financials in Platform's
Offering Memorandum).

The SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating indicates adequate
liquidity to support operations for at least the next four
quarters, with meaningful use of the revolving credit facility.
Moody's short-term liquidity assessment is supported by over $280
million of cash as of September 31, 2014, the $300 million
revolving credit facility, and local credit lines to support the
agricultural chemicals business. Moody's expects about $250 million
of revolver availability at the close of the Arysta acquisition.
Subsequently, Platform intends to draw on the revolver to fund
working capital for seasonal swings related to its new agricultural
chemicals businesses. The only financial covenant on the revolving
facility, which would be triggered in the event of a drawing
greater than 25% of the commitment, is a springing net first lien
leverage ratio of 6.5x. Moody's believes that the revolver is small
for the size of the company and the working capital needs of the
agricultural chemicals business, however the revolver is
supplemented by local lines of credit. The firm has no material
near-term debt maturities and its 1% annual amortization payments
total approximately $25 million. The company is subject to an
excess cash flow sweep, which steps down once the first lien net
leverage falls below certain thresholds. The firm has low
maintenance capital expenditure requirements, which will increase
following completion of the acquisitions, but still remain
relatively low. Platform does not pay cash dividends, but has
preferred equity, which pays dividends in the form of common
stock.

The company has proposed $600 million in term loans to fund Arysta
as well as $1,520 million in senior unsecured notes due 2022 to
fully fund the acquisition, thus it will not need to access the
$750 million bridge loan. In total, Platform has raised over $1.33
billion from the issuance of equity, $187 million in warrants, and
$600 million in convertible preferred stock to fund the three
agricultural chemical acquisitions. Platform's $600 million of
convertible preferred stock has a two-year mandatory convertible
feature that requires the company to deliver stock plus a cash
payment if the stock price is below $27.14 / share, such that the
total conversion is no less than $600 million. As a result of this
conversion feature a contingent liability is added to Platform's
debt obligation ($78 million as of December 1, 2014).

The negative outlook reflects the elevated risk of integrating
three companies (Agriphar, AgroSolutions, and Arysta) that increase
Platform's aggregate size by almost four times. The negative
outlook also incorporates Platform's elevated leverage, above 5.0x,
and Moody's expectation that Platform will seek to complete
additional acquisitions over the next 12 months. There is limited
upside to the rating at this time. Following a successful
completion and integration of Platform's acquisitions, the ratings
could be upgraded if leverage falls below 4.0x on a sustained basis
and the company demonstrates its ability to grow its sales and
generate significant free cash flow. Conversely, Platform's ratings
could be downgraded if its operating and credit metrics
deteriorate. Specifically, if leverage remains above 5.0x over the
next 12 to 18 months or if incremental acquisitions prevent the
meaningful reductions in leverage, Moody's would contemplate a
rating downgrade. The rating would be pressured if management
undertakes another sizable debt-financed acquisition in 2015, if
the company accelerates the pace of acquisitions such that debt
rises faster than EBITDA, or if there is no debt reduction between
acquisitions.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Chemical
Industry Rating Methodology published in December 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 Miami, Florida, Platform Specialty Products Corp
(Platform) is a publicly-traded company founded by investors Martin
Franklin and Nicolas Berggruen in 2013. Platform's first
acquisition in 2013 was MacDermid Holdings, LLC, a global
manufacturer of variety of chemicals and technical services for a
range of applications and markets including; metal and plastic
finishing, electronics, graphic arts, and offshore drilling.
Platform is in the process of acquiring Arysta LifeScience Limited
for approximately $3.51 billion. Platform has already acquired
Chemtura Corporation's AgroSolutions business and Belgium-based
Group Agriphar Group agricultural chemical business, in levered
transactions valued at roughly $1 billion and $405 million,
respectively. Pro forma for the acquisitions, Platform's pro forma
sales are roughly $2.9 billion for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2014 (LTM revenues of $755 million from Platform's
existing business, $461 million from AgroSolutions as of September
30, 2014, $171 million YE 2013 revenues from Agriphar, and $1.5
billion as of September 30, 2014 for Arysta ).



RADIOSHACK CORP: Store Officials Warn of Closures at Two Locations
------------------------------------------------------------------
A Huntington Mall spokesperson and multiple store officials at
different locations said that RadioShack Corporation appears to
close its stores in Barboursville and Ashland, West Virginia,
Curtis Johnson at The Herald-Dispatch reports.

"I assume it's only a matter of time," The Herald-Dispatch quoted
Huntington Mall marketing director Margi MacDuff as saying.  Ms.
MacDuff added that local managers are notifying mall officials of
the store's impending closure, the report states.

According to The Herald-Dispatch, a store official was told to
expect a closure in 30 to 90 days.

The Herald-Dispatch relates that storefront signs at the Huntington
Mall and Ashland Town Center advertise a "blowout clearance" sale,
which workers say are consistent with their stores being
reclassified as clearance locations.

Citing store officials, The Herald-Dispatch reports that standalone
stores like those along 5th Avenue in Huntington and U.S. 60 in
Russell, Kentucky, are remaining open.

As reported by the TCR on Sept. 15, 2014, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Fort
Worth, Texas-based RadioShack Corp. to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'.

"The downgrade comes as the company announced it will seek
capital, and that such a transaction could include a debt
restructuring in addition to store closures and other measures,"
said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Charles Pinson-Rose.

In the Sept. 16, 2014, edition of the TCR, the TCR reported that
Fitch Ratings had downgraded the Long-term Issuer Default Rating
(IDR) for RadioShack Corporation (RadioShack) to 'C' from 'CC'.
The downgrade reflects the high likelihood that RadioShack will
need to restructure its debt in the next couple of months.

The TCR reported on March 13, 2014, that Moody's Investors Service
downgraded RadioShack Corporation's corporate family rating to
Caa2 from Caa1.  "The continuing negative trend in RadioShack's
sales and margins has resulted in a precipitous drop in
profitability causing continued deterioration in credit metrics and
liquidity," Mickey Chadha, Senior Analyst at Moody's said.

SCRUB ISLAND: Court Won't Stay Implementation of Exit Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
In the Chapter 11 case of Scrub Island Development Group Limited,
Bankruptcy Judge Michael G. Williamson denied the Emergency Motion
for Stay Pending Appeal of Order Confirming Debtors' First Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization Filed by FirstBank Puerto Rico.

"The Bank has tried everything it could to keep the Debtors from
reorganizing. Of course, the Bank has the right to appeal this
Court's confirmation order if it thinks the Court was wrong. But
the Bank does not have the right to use a stay pending appeal to
accomplish what it could not during the confirmation
process—i.e., thwarting the Debtors' reorganization efforts.
Because the Bank cannot satisfy any of the requirements for a stay
pending appeal, its request must be denied," Judge Williamson said
in a January 26, 2015 Memorandum Opinion and Order available at
http://is.gd/RY7VeHfrom Leagle.com.

The Court recently confirmed a chapter 11 plan that provides for
the payment of approximately $122 million to FirstBank Puerto Rico
over 30 years. To make the plan work, the Debtors, who operate a
resort in the British Virgin Islands, had to acquire two partially
constructed villas owned by creditors and a desalinization plant
that provides fresh water to the resort.

The primary argument advanced by the Bank in support of its
contention that this Court's confirmation order has no chance of
withstanding an appeal is that it improperly interferes with the
Bank's first mortgage on the villas and purchase option on the
desalinization plant.

The Court said the the Bank's request for a stay is the latest in a
long line of bad-faith attempts to keep the Debtors from
successfully restructuring their business. Among other things, the
Bank secretly conspired with the individual employee charged with
running the resort on behalf of the Debtors to thwart their efforts
to take the Bank up on its offer to buy out its loans for a
discounted amount before this case was filed.  Then during this
case, the Bank rejected proposed plan treatment that was identical
to a $37.5 million term sheet the Bank signed with a third-party
investor and, instead, exercised its rights under 11 U.S.C. Sec.
1111(b) requiring the Debtors to pay the Bank the full amount of
its $119 million claim. When, presumably to the surprise of the
Bank, the Debtors were able to confirm a plan that complied with
Sec. 1111(b), the Bank appealed the Court's confirmation ruling by
essentially challenging the Debtors' means of implementing the
plan.

"The Court concludes that it is unlikely the Bank will prevail on
its appeal. The Bank's motion is premised entirely on a
misrepresentation as to the terms of the confirmed plan in this
case and a misunderstanding of the confirmation process in general.
To hear the Bank tell it, the Bank is being stripped of its liens
entirely on the villas and being forced to give up its liens on the
rest of the Debtors' property in exchange for less valuable, more
volatile liens on substitute collateral. And the Bank says the
Court cannot confirm a plan that strips it of its liens or forces
it to accept liens on substitute collateral that is less valuable
and more volatile because the Bankruptcy Code does not expressly
authorized that treatment," the judge said.

"In actuality, the Bank is keeping its liens on the villas until
they are sold (and the Bank is paid in full), and as for the
remainder of its collateral, the Bank is either receiving the
proceeds from the sale of individual lots or villas or a lien on a
"sinking fund" that is being used to enhance the Bank's remaining
collateral. This treatment is permissible under the Bankruptcy
Code. The Bankruptcy Code provides a chapter 11 debtor with great
flexibility to formulate a plan -- limited only by the debtor's
creativity and the prohibition in Sec. 1123(b)(6) that the plan
provisions not be in "inconsistent" with the Bankruptcy Code.
Because the Debtors' confirmed plan is not inconsistent with the
Bankruptcy Code, the Bank will not be able to persuade a district
court on appeal that this Court's confirmation ruling was clearly
erroneous.

"And it is abundantly clear that the Debtors will be irreparably
harmed if the Court stays its confirmation ruling pending the
appeal. A carefully tailored feasible plan of reorganization will
be destroyed. The Debtors will be denied essential funding, which
will result in their resort being shut down, and the Bank will
accomplish what it could not during the confirmation process.
Finally, public policy favors permitting Debtors an opportunity to
implement their confirmed plan. Because the Bank is attempting to
use the requested stay pending appeal to keep the Debtors from
implementing a confirmed plan that easily satisfies the
confirmation requirements under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bank's
request for a stay will be denied."

SKYMALL LLC: Blames Financial Problems on Evolving Retail Industry
------------------------------------------------------------------
SkyMall, LLC acting CEO Scott Wiley said in the bankruptcy filing
that the Company's financial and operational difficulties are a
result of the evolving retail industry, as well as technology and
business changes.

According to Brittny Mejia at Newsfactor Business Report, the
Company has been struggling to deal with the increased use of
mobile digital devices on planes, which provide potential clients
with other distractions besides its catalog.  Mr. Wiley said in
court documents, "With the increased use of electronic devices on
planes, fewer people browsed the SkyMall in-flight catalog."

The Company closed down its catalog business and laid off 47 of its
150 workers on Jan. 16, 2015, court documents state.

Newsfactor Business Report recalls that the Company lost its
contracts with Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines in 2014.

Christine C. Noel at 9news.com relates that Not Steve Schrier, who
created Straight Up Chess Boards in 2007 and who sent the Company
45 wooden vertical chess boards, each retailing about $200, said
that the Company owes him $8,000.  According to 9news.com, Mr.
Schrier said he tried to contact the Company on Monday but he
received a recording saying the company offices were closed.

Carina Dominguez at Cronkite News reports that the Company's
founder, Bob Worsley, called the bankruptcy tragic, but is hopeful
that "with a cleaned up balance sheet, there's opportunity for the
company to reemerge."

Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, SkyMall, LLC, is the company
behind the ubiquitous in-flight catalogs known for kitschy items
that include Bigfoot Garden Yeti statues, night glow toilet seats
and cat litter robots.

SUN BANCORP: Incurs $2.8 Million Net Loss in Fourth Quarter
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sun Bancorp, Inc., reported a net loss available to common
shareholders of $2.82 million on $19.8 million of total interest
income for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2014, compared to a net
loss available to common shareholders of $8.21 million on $25.5
million of total interest income for the same period during the
prior year.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2014, the Company reported a net loss
available to common shareholders of $29.8 million on $90.2 million
of total interest income compared to a net loss available to common
shareholders of $9.94 million on $105.08 million of total interest
income during the prior year.

As of Dec. 31, 2014, Sun Bancorp had $2.71 billion in total assets,
$2.47 billion in total liabilities and $245 million in total
shareholders' equity.

"During the fourth quarter, we brought several facets of our
restructuring plans to completion, including the successful exit
from our Sun Home Loans residential mortgage banking business and
asset-based lending," said president & CEO Thomas M. O'Brien.  "In
addition, we took further actions to rationalize our expense base
and delivery platform, which included the consolidation of three
branches, addressing our short and long-term occupancy needs and
expenses.  The year 2014 was one of fundamental transition for the
Company.  In the course of a few short months, we put enormous
legacy costs behind us, successfully exited several higher risk
business lines, restructured our geographic footprint, raised new
equity capital, improved credit quality metrics to very strong
measures and built a strong management as well as new lending
teams.  This list of accomplishments represents a very focused and
aggressive commitment of time and energy by both Management and the
Board of Directors.  We would not have achieved such success in our
restructuring efforts to date without that support."

"We enter 2015 in much stronger financial condition and with the
prospects for profitability finally in sight," continued O'Brien.
"Absent the lease vacancy charge of $2.3 million and the owned real
estate write-down of $0.8 million, the hint of some modest
profitability is evident.  Nonetheless, much remains to be done and
our energies remain focused on concluding the difficult chapter of
the past few years.  While we will continue to create further
efficiencies in 2015, the primary focus will now turn to liquidity
deployment and achieving sustained profitability."

WESTCHESTER COUNTY: S&P Affirms BB+ Rating on Notes Due 2045
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating on one tranche
and affirmed its ratings on three tranches from Westchester
County's tobacco settlement asset-backed bonds series 2005.  All
outstanding classes of this series were originally issued and rated
in 2005 and are backed by tobacco settlement revenues due to
Westchester County as part of a master settlement agreement between
participating tobacco companies and the settling states.

The rated portion of Westchester County's series 2005 consists of
turbo term bonds maturing between 2021 and 2045.

The rating actions reflect S&P's view of the transaction's
performance under a series of stressed cash flow scenarios,
including:

   -- A cigarette volume decline test that assesses if the
      transaction can withstand annual declines in cigarette
      shipments;

   -- Payment disruptions by the largest of the participating
      manufacturers, by market share, at various points over the
      transaction's term to reflect a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
      filing; and

   -- A liquidity stress test to account for settlement amount
      disputes by participating manufacturers, as a result of
      changes to their market share, which continues to shift to
      nonparticipating manufacturers.

The upgraded tranche has used principal paydowns to reduce its
outstanding balance to $4.65 million, which is less than 16% of its
initial balance.  As part of S&P's review for an upgrade, the
tranche was required to pass additional volume decline sensitivity
tests commensurate with the higher rating level.

S&P affirmed its ratings on the other three classes because it
believes they will make timely interest and principal payments
under all three stress scenarios commensurate with the current
ratings.

S&P's analysis also reflects developments within the tobacco
industry.  S&P views the U.S. tobacco industry as having a stable
rating outlook based on the high brand equity and pricing power of
the top three manufacturers' conventional cigarette brands.  In
S&P's view, this should help offset ongoing cigarette volume
declines and allow for sustained cash flows.  However, changing
regulations and ongoing litigation risk are constraining factors
the industry faces.

WET SEAL: Has Interim Approval of Equity Trading Protocol
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge Christopher S. Sontchi of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware gave The Wet Seal, Inc., et al., interim
authority to establish notification procedures to restrict certain
transfers of equity interests in and claims against the Debtors in
order to preserve the Debtors' tax attributes.

Pursuant to the interim order, any person or entity that
beneficially owns WSI Stock in an amount sufficient to qualify the
person or entity as a substantial equityholder must file with the
Court a Notice of Substantial Stock Ownership.  A "Substantial
Equityholder" is any person or entity that beneficially owns, or
any entity controlled by the person or entity through which that
person or entity beneficially owns, at least 4.75% of all issued
and outstanding shares of WSI Stock.

Pursuant to the interim order, any person or entity that currently
is or becomes a substantial claimholder must file with the Court a
Notice of Substantial Claimholder.  A "Substantial Claimholder"
means any person or entity that beneficially owns an aggregate
dollar amount of claims against the Debtors, or any entity
controlled by the person or entity through which that person or
entity beneficially owns claims against the Debtors, of more than
the Threshold Amount.  "Threshold Amount" mens, initially, $5.7
million, which amount may be subsequently increased or decreased as
WSI may determine to be appropriate.

Objections if any to the final approval of the request must be
filed on or before Jan. 29, so that these objections may be
considered at a hearing to be held on Feb. 5, 2015, at 2:00 p.m.
(ET).

YINGDE GASES: Moody's Lowers Corporate Family Rating to Ba3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded Yingde Gases Group Co
Ltd's corporate family rating to Ba3 from Ba2. Moody's has also
downgraded to B1 from Ba3 the senior unsecured rating on the bonds
issued by Yingde Gases Investment Limited and guaranteed by Yingde
Gases.

The ratings outlook is negative.

This rating action concludes the rating review initiated on 10
November 2014.

Ratings Rationale

"The downgrades reflect the considerable operating challenges
Yingde Gases faces, stemming from its heavy exposure to the weak
steel industry and the outstanding litigation against a major
customer. These circumstances will increase the company's liquidity
risk and keep its financial leverage elevated," says Gerwin Ho, a
Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst.

Moody's expects Yingde Gases' operating cash flow and profitability
to remain pressured in the next 12-18 months, as its major
customers in the steel industry face a challenging operating
environment and tighter bank credit. Yingde Gases' adjusted
operating cash flow has stagnated at RMB800-RMB900 million per
annum since 2011, a level substantially lower than its reported
EBITDA.

The company's cash flow also remains affected by the unresolved
legal dispute with one of its major steel customers, which caused
overdue receivables to rise by about RMB460 million in the first
half of 2014.

This legal dispute further demonstrates that its financially
weakened customers may not have the ability or willingness to honor
agreed contractual terms. As such, Yingde Gases' business model,
which is largely based on take-or-pay contracts, is less resilient
than previously assumed because of some customers' strong
bargaining power over the company.

Given these factors, and despite its plan to slow down its business
expansion and share repurchases, Moody's expects its free cash flow
to remain negative and its business to continue to rely on external
borrowings.

In this regard, Moody's expects the company's adjusted debt/EBITDA
to remain 4.0x-4.5x and adjusted operating cash flow to debt to
stay below 10% in the next 12-18 months. Such credit metrics
position the company in the low Ba rating category.

Yingde Gases' liquidity will remain tight given its low cash
holdings and large short-term debt. Moody's cautions that its
previously good ability to raise funds in the financial markets can
weaken if such challenges persist.

Yingde Gases' Ba3 corporate family rating reflects its leading
position in the independent on-site industrial gas market in China
and recurring cash flows from its long-term take-or-pay contracts
with on-site customers, which account for above 80% of its
revenues. On the other hand, its rating is constrained by its heavy
exposure to the steel industry and client concentration.

Yingde Gases' USD notes are rated one notch below its corporate
family rating, given structural subordination at the holding
company level. Yingde Gases has a large amount of onshore debt,
which results from the construction of its gas supply facilities.

The negative rating outlooks reflects Moody's expectation that
Yingde Gases' operating challenges and weak liquidity will keep its
refinancing risk elevated over the next 12-18 months.

Upward rating pressure is unlikely in the near term given the
negative outlook. However, the ratings could return to stable if
Yingde Gases (1) improves its liquidity profile by lengthening its
debt maturity profile; and (2) improves its cash collection, with
operating cash flow to debt rising above 12% and adjusted
debt/EBITDA below 4.5x.

The ratings would be downgraded if (1) Yingde Gases' liquidity risk
is escalated; or (2) its financial profile weakens further, such
that its adjusted debt/EBITDA rises above 5.0x or operating cash
flow to debt declines below 8%-10%.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Chemical
Industry Rating Methodology published in December 2013.

Yingde Gases Group Co Ltd is one of the largest players in the
independent on-site industrial gas market in China. The company
reported RMB7.35 billion in revenues for the 12 months ended June
2014. It had a total of 61 production facilities in operation and
another 38 under development as of June 2014. On-site gas
production accounted for about 80%-90% of Yingde Gases' revenues,
with the rest coming from merchant sales.

The company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in September
2009. The executive directors and founders, Zhongguo Sun, Zhao
Xiangti and Trevor Raymond Strutt, held 20.18%, 12.79% and 10.02%
equity stakes, respectively, as of June 2014.

The Local Market Analyst for this rating is Jiming Zou, +86 (21)
6101-0381.

[*] Corporate Ch 11 Filings Remain Low in 2014, Report Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jay M. Goffman, George N. Panagakis, David M. Turetsky and Ken
Ziman, writing for Lexology.com, report that corporate Chapter 11
filings dropped slightly in 2014 from 2013, remaining relatively
low due to a robust capital market environment, low interest rates
and easy access to financing.

Lexology.com relates that highly leveraged borrowers that might
otherwise have been Chapter 11 restructuring candidates were able
to refinance or pursue other nonjudicial restructuring
alternatives.

According to Lexology.com, business bankruptcies dropped 16% to an
estimated 6,453 in 2014 from 2013.  Most corporate bankruptcy
filings were made in the District of Delaware and the Southern
District of New York, attracting more than 14% of all 2014
corporate bankruptcy cases filed and 17% of all the cases filed
since 2001, the report says.


[*] Large Private Equity Firms Flex Remediation Muscles, Fitch Says
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings says large private equity firms are increasingly
flexing their scale, balance sheets, restructuring experience and
connections with creditors and limited partners to tighten control
and enhance return potential on investments.  Recent examples
include Apollo's and TPG's decision on Jan. 15, 2015, to
voluntarily place the largest operating subsidiary of Caesars
Entertainment Corp. into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy and KKR's
follow-on private placement investment in First Data Corporation in
June 2014.

While the activities can bring creditors' competing interests to
the forefront, they also underscore the fiduciary responsibility of
alternative investment managers to maximize returns for their
limited partners through all available means.  To the extent that
managers are able to translate these activities into enhanced
returns (or minimized losses) it can serve to support future
fundraising and the overall franchise, both of which are important
rating considerations when assessing investment managers.

In the Caesars case, Apollo has deployed aggressive tactics in an
effort to retain control despite minimal recovery prospects for the
most junior creditors.  Maneuvers have included the sale of assets
to affiliates at attractive multiples, repaying junior intercompany
debt at par and the release of parent company guarantees of the
debt at the weakest subsidiary.  Apollo's reputation and long track
record of achieving outsized returns on distressed-for-control
situations has helped drive the managers' efforts and built some
consensus among creditors.  However, others among Caesars'
creditors have aggressively pushed back, so further legal and court
action is possible.

Fitch believes that the largest private equity firms have also
become more willing to use their balance sheets as a strategic
advantage.  This was demonstrated with First Data in 2014, when KKR
itself committed part of the funding for a follow-on $3.5 billion
investment in the portfolio company it originally bought in a 2007
LBO.  KKR made its investment through a combination of $500 million
from its 2006 Fund, $700 million from its own balance sheet, and $2
billion in co-investments from third-party investors.  The
maneuvers, while demonstrating flexibility, create the type of
balance sheet concentration that can constrain a private equity
firm's rating, or, in a scenario where the investment becomes
degraded, potentially pressure the rating.

The Caesars and First Data examples show that as large private
equity firms have grown their balance sheets and connections with
large limited partners that are increasingly interested in
co-investment opportunities, there is greater access to investment
capital to weather downturns and improve capital structure
positioning for IPOs.  A Preqin survey released in 2014 supported
the trend, pointing out that of the group of LPs surveyed who had
already co-invested alongside a private equity firm, 56% planned to
increase their activity in this type of investment over the next 12
months.  The trend reduces the overall average management and carry
fee percentages paid by large LPs, but allows PE firms to maintain
or increase overall investment levels.  The number of club deals,
or transactions shared by more than one private equity firm, has
declined as a result, because firms are able to write bigger equity
checks by combining fund capital, with co-investment commitments,
and balance sheet investment capacity.

In both the Caesars and First Data examples, private equity's long
investment cycle is providing the time to work through challenges,
wait out market declines and achieve the debt reductions necessary
to improve the prospect of achieving targeted returns on invested
capital.

                            *********

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.
