ALLEGHENY TECHNOLOGIES: Moody's Cuts B2 Corporate Family Rating
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Allegheny Technologies
Incorporated's (ATI) Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Probability
of Default rating to B2 and B2-PD from Ba3 and Ba3-PD respectively.
The senior unsecured note ratings of ATI and Allegheny Ludlum
Corporation (guaranteed by ATI) were downgraded to B3 from B1. The
speculative grade liquidity rating remains unchanged at SGL-3. The
outlook is negative. This concludes the review for downgrade
initiated on November 6, 2015.

The downgrade reflects the significant deterioration in ATI's
operations and margins, which is largely attributed to the Flat
Rolled Products segment incurring an operating loss of $91.8
million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2015, up from a
loss of $3 million in second quarter of 2015. This segment
experienced reduced shipments (sequentially down 25%), continued
deterioration in prices realized and high costs associated with the
start-up of the Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility (HRPF). Segment
operating profit in the same quarter for High Performance of $18.8
million was also down by 56% sequentially due to a slow ramp-up in
aerospace volumes. As a result, debt protection metrics such as
EBIT/interest weakened to 0.4 x for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2015 while leverage, as measured by the debt/EBITDA
ratio increased to 9 x from 6.6x in fiscal 2014 (including Moody's
standard adjustments, principally for pension). ATI's metrics are
expected to weaken further for the fiscal year 2015 given the
overall challenging market conditions and downward movement in
steel prices and industry capacity utilization rates subsequent to
the third quarter, which will again impact the Flat Rolled Products
segment. The High Performance segment is expected to remain
relatively in line with the third quarter performance. As a result,
we expect leverage at year-end 2015 will be elevated and exceed
12x. Leverage is expected to remain elevated in 2016 as we expect
the time horizon for recovery to be extended but evidence an
improving trend to around 8x by year-end 2016.

Downgrades:

Issuer: Allegheny Technologies Incorporated

Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to B2 from Ba3

Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to B2-PD from Ba3-PD

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to B3 (LGD4)
from B1 (LGD4)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Allegheny Technologies Incorporated

Outlook, Changed To Negative From Rating Under Review

Issuer: Allegheny Ludlum Corporation

Backed Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to B3
(LGD4) from B1 (LGD4)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Allegheny Ludlum Corporation

Outlook, Changed To Negative From Rating Under Review

RATINGS RATIONALE

ATI's B2 CFR reflects the weak debt protection metrics and high
leverage evidenced by the company as challenging conditions in the
U.S. steel industry and weak fundamentals in certain end markets
continue to negatively impact and delay the level of improvement
that can be achieved in ATI's overall business profile. The rating
also considers the company's position as a leading producer of
specialty titanium and titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and
super alloys and its technological capabilities, which provide the
company with the ability to fulfill customers' unique product
requests. ATI's strong relationship, order book and LTA (Long Term
Agreements) position with the aerospace industry and major
aerospace companies is also a favorable consideration and is
expected to contribute to improving performance as build rates
increase both for aircraft and engines.

Weakness in a number of important end markets for the company, such
as oil and gas, electrical energy, and construction/mining
equipment and a weaker contribution from automotive contributed to
a material revenue decline in ATI's quarterly revenues relative to
the same period the prior year (down approximately 22%). The
quarter also had some costs associated with the restart of
facilities within the flat rolled segment following the labor
lockout. Nonetheless, we expect performance over the next several
quarters to remain challenged given fundamental industry
conditions. With the low oil prices and inventory glut, which will
take several quarters to clear, recovery in this sector is not
expected for an extended period, while the overall steel sector is
expected to continue to experience weak performance and face a low
price environment, with risk to the downside. As such, performance,
particularly in the Flat Rolled Products side is expected to
experience losses, although at a lower level than seen in the third
quarter. ATI's recent announcement to take rightsizing actions to
align its Flat Rolled Products operations to the challenging
business conditions for its commodity products should provide some
improvement relative to current expectations. Although the company
has a good aerospace backlog with improving deliveries expected
under the LTA's (long-term agreements), the flow through to
material profit improvement is expected to be modest in 2016. In
addition, the duration of the labor lockout and costs and
inefficiencies that might be associated remain uncertain.

The SGL-3 speculative grade liquidity rating reflects our view that
ATI will maintain adequate liquidity over the next four quarters.
The liquidity rating also reflects expectations that ATI will
evidence a cash burn over the next twelve to fifteen months,
particularly as recent cash receipts from a federal tax refund and
the settlement of certain foreign exchange forward contracts are
unlikely to be repeated. As such, the company is likely to borrow
under its asset base lending (ABL) revolver. Liquidity is supported
by its $400 million asset based revolving credit facility (ABL)
which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200
million expiring in March 2020 with roughly $392 million of
availability after considering amounts borrowed and outstanding
letters of credit. Under the ABL facility the company is required
to satisfy a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0x, which is
tested only if availability drops to less than $40 million. We
expect that the ABL will have sufficient availability over the next
four quarters such that the covenant will not be tested. We note
that downward pressure on the company's liquidity profile could
occur should borrowings under the ABL exceed our current
expectations or should steel prices drop and be sustained below
current levels such that the borrowing base capacity shrinks. Given
ATI's liquidity availability and minimal debt maturity profile, the
company is expected to be able to cover requirements within its
overall liquidity profile although free cash flow will likely be
negative.

The negative outlook reflects our expectations that earnings and
cash flow generation will only slowly improve over the next twelve
to eighteen months as increased deliveries to the aerospace
industry begin to flow through performance and the HRPF begins to
achieve the desired cost improvements. However continued challenged
performance for the Flat Rolled segment will continue to offset
some of this improvement.

Given ATI's metrics and the anticipated slow improvement, an
upgrade is unlikely in the next twelve to eighteen months. However,
should leverage, as measured by the debt/EBITDA ratio improve to
and be sustainable at 4x, the EBIT margin strengthen to and be
sustained at or above 5% and (operating cash flow minus
dividends)/debt be at least 15%, the ratings could be upgraded.

The ratings could be further downgraded if performance in 2016 does
not show improving trends such that the EBIT margin remains less
than 2%, and leverage remains above 5.5x. Ratings could also be
downgraded should the company's liquidity position deteriorate
materially due to weak operating performance and further cash burn
than anticipated.

The B3 rating on the senior unsecured instruments under Moody's
loss given default methodology reflects the weaker position of the
notes in the capital structure behind the ABL revolver and priority
payables.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ATI is a diversified
producer and distributor of components and specialty metals such as
titanium and titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and stainless and
specialty steel alloys. For the twelve months ended September 30,
2015 the company generated revenues of $4.billion.



AMERICAN EAGLE: Wins Approval of Incentive Bonus Plan
-----------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Howard R. Tallman has approved American Eagle
Energy Corporation, et al.'s motion to implement an incentive bonus
plan.

The Debtors sought for authorization to pay a total of $121,800 in
bonuses which is reasonable in the context of the Debtors assets,
liabilities and what they expect to realize at a sale of
substantially all of the Debtor assets.  The Debtors anticipate
that assets will be sold for no less than $70 million.

The Incentive Bonus Plan will only be paid upon consummation of a
sale of substantially all of Debtors' assets or confirmation of a
plan of reorganization.

                       About American Eagle

ARCH COAL: Elects To Exercise Interest Payment Grace Period
-----------------------------------------------------------
Arch Coal, Inc. on Dec. 15 disclosed that it has elected to
exercise the 30-day grace period under its indenture agreements
with holders of its 9.875% Senior Notes due 2019, the 7.00% Senior
Notes due 2019 and the 7.25% Senior Notes due 2021.  This extends
the time period the company has to make the approximately $90
million interest payment due December 15, 2015 without triggering
an event of default under the indentures.  Events of default will
exist under the company's term loan facility and receivables
facility as a result of this election and other recent events, but
the company is in active discussions with its lenders and does not
anticipate the lenders taking any remedial action in respect of any
such event of default.

Arch intends to use the 30-day grace period to continue
constructive discussions with various creditors regarding its
ongoing effort to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to
restructure its balance sheet.

The company has sufficient liquidity to continue normal mining
operations and to meet its obligations in the ordinary course, and
it intends to continue providing customers the same high quality
services they expect from Arch.  The company had approximately
$694.5 million in cash and short term investments as of September
30, 2015.  Arch's operations are strong and reflect the actions it
has taken to adapt to rapidly evolving coal markets, including
reducing costs and enhancing efficiency across the company.

to 'C' from 'CCC'.  The downgrade follows Arch Coal's announcements
of exchange offers which Fitch considers Distressed Debt Exchanges
in accordance with Fitch's Distressed Debt Exchange criteria.

downgraded the corporate family rating of Arch Coal to 'Caa3' from
'Caa1' and the probability default rating to 'Caa3-PD' from

sector, and the resulting deterioration in the company's credit
metrics.  At the same time, Moody's downgraded the ratings on the
senior secured term loan and bank revolving facility to 'Caa1' from
'B2', the second lien notes to Caa3 from Caa1, and all unsecured
notes to 'Ca', from 'Caa2'.  Moody's also affirmed the Speculative
Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-3.  The outlook is negative.

As reported by the TCR on July 9, 2015, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services said it lowered its corporate credit rating on Arch Coal
to 'CC' from 'CCC+'.  Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it
lowered its corporate credit rating on Arch Coal to 'CC' from
'CCC+'.  The rating action reflects Arch Coal's July 3, 2015,
announcement of a private debt exchange offer for its senior
unsecured debt.

BLACK ELK: Has Court Authority to Wind Down 2 Subsidiaries
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Marvin Isgur of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas authorized Black Elk Operations, LLC, to
wind down its subsidiaries, Black Elk Energy Finance and Black Elk
Energy Land Operations.

Judge Isgur also gave the Debtors authority to enter into
agreements for the succession of indenture Trustee for the 13.75%
Senior Secured Notes.

In support of their request for authority to wind down the
subsidiaries, the Debtors explained that after the Petition Date,
the 13.75% Noteholders sought to replace The Bank of New York as
the Indenture Trustee with WSFS Bank.  However, in order to
complete the change of trustee, the Noteholders needed the consent
of the co-issuer, Black Elk Energy Finance Corp., a limited
liability company.

The Debtors said it appears that there are no officers, directors
or managers of the limited liability company remaining to sign the
documents allowing the change of trustee.  After an investigation
as to the ownership of Black Elk Energy Finance Corp., the Debtors
discovered that Black Elk Energy Finance Corp.'s governing
documents indicated that it was owned by Black Elk Energy Land
Operations, LLC, and there are no assets at the Black Elk
Subsidiaries.

CINEDIGM CORP: Receives Nasdaq Listing Non-Compliance Notice
------------------------------------------------------------
Cinedigm Corp. on Dec. 16 disclosed that on December 10, 2015, the
Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff indicating that the
Company had not regained compliance with the $1.00 per share bid
price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market
by the end of the previously granted compliance period, which
expired on December 7, 2015.  As a result, the Company would be
subject to delisting unless it timely requests a hearing before a
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.  Based on the foregoing, the
Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel at
which it will present its plan of compliance and request a further
extension of time.  The Panel has the discretion to grant the
Company up to an additional 180 calendar days from December 10,
2015 to regain compliance.  This request will automatically stay
any delisting or suspension action pending the issuance of a final
decision by the Panel and the expiration of any further extension
granted by the Panel.

There can be no assurance that the Panel will ultimately grant an
extension of the compliance period.  However, the Company has
already obtained the approval of its stockholders empowering the
Board to effect a reverse stock split sufficient to regain
compliance with the Bid Price Rule.  The Board of Directors intends
to effectuate such a reverse split promptly if it becomes clear
that the continued listing of the Class A common stock cannot
otherwise be assured.

------------------------------------------------
Colt Defense LLC and the United Auto Workers Union have issued the
following joint statement regarding the Dec. 16 court confirmation
of Colt's plan of reorganization:

The UAW and Colt reached agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding
("MOU") on Dec. 16 that led to court confirmation of Colt's plan of
reorganization.  With this confirmation, Colt expects to complete

members that stayed the course throughout this entire
reorganization process," said Mike Holmes, UAW Local 376 Shop
Chair.  "Together, we have succeeded in maintaining our contract
and securing good jobs with a continued presence in West
Hartford."

"We are very pleased to have received plan confirmation and
execution of the MOU with the Union.  We are proud of our workforce
and the dedication that they have given Colt during this difficult
restructuring process.  We are confident in our future in large
part because of the solid foundation that we have with the Union
and the world class craftsmanship and skills of our Union
employees," added Dennis Veilleux, CEO of Colt.

"UAW members at Colt have been the foundation of our Union's
historical role in Connecticut's manufacturing base.  We will do
everything in our power to see that these good jobs continue for
generations to come," said Julie Kushner, Director of UAW Region

DEX MEDIA: Moody's Cuts CFR to Ca for Lapsed Grace Pd. for Payment
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Dex Media, Inc.'s Probability
of Default Rating to Ca-PD/LD from Caa3-PD and downgraded the
Corporate Family Rating to Ca from Caa3. The limited default "LD"
designation appended to Dex's probability of default rating
reflects Moody's view that the company has defaulted under Moody's
definition. The limited default designation will remain for three
business days to reflect our view that a default has occurred.
Concurrently, the senior subordinated notes are lowered to C from
Ca and the senior secured credit facilities of Dex Media East,
Inc., Dex Media West, Inc., R.H. Donnelley Inc. and SuperMedia Inc.
remain unchanged at Caa3. The downgrade reflects Dex's missed
September 30, 2015 interest payment on its senior subordinated
notes and the subsequent failure to make the payment during the
grace period. Moody's views this as a limited default as it
represents a default of only one element of the company's capital
structure. The ratings outlook remains negative.

Should the company default on other elements of its debt capital,
execute a distressed exchange or pursue a formal reorganization
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, ratings could be downgraded
further. Additionally, ratings could be downgraded further if
Moody's comes to expect the recovery values on Dex's debt
instruments to be lower than currently estimated.

Downgrades:

Issuer: Dex Media, Inc.

Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Ca from Caa3

Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to Ca-PD/LD from
Caa3-PD

Senior Subordinated Regular Bond/Debenture, Downgraded to C (LGD6)
from Ca (LGD6)

Unchanged:

Speculative Grade Liquidity, unchanged at SGL-4

Outlook Actions:

Outlook, Remains Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

Dex Media's Ca Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") reflects the
company's highly leveraged capital structure, the rapid structural
decline of print directories and expanding competitive challenges
and very low barriers to entry in digital advertising in which Dex
Media is very weakly positioned and executing poorly. We believe
there is a high likelihood of the company declaring bankruptcy
again or restructuring its debt.

The rating is supported by its position as the second largest print
and digital yellow pages business in the U.S., modest EBITDA
margins, low capital intensity and the company's ability to
generate relatively healthy, albeit declining, levels of free cash
flows.

The negative outlook reflects Moody's view that Dex Media will have
difficulty refinancing debt without a restructuring and impairment
to lenders.

The ratings are unlikely to be upgraded without a successful
refinancing of its debt or a meaningful reduction of its debt
balances. An upgrade is also unlikely due to the secular decline of
the print business and low barriers to entry in the digital
segment.

Dex Media's ratings could be downgraded if liquidity deteriorates
or its probability of default increases for any reason.

ESSEX RENTAL: To Voluntarily Terminate Nasdaq Listing
-----------------------------------------------------
Essex Rental Corp. on Dec. 8 disclosed that it has submitted a
notice to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of its intention to
voluntarily withdraw the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001
per share, from listing on Nasdaq and to voluntarily terminate the
registration of Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

The Company intends to file a Notification of Removal from Listing
and/or Registration on Form 25 with the Securities Exchange
Commission on or after December 18, 2015 as a result of which the
Company expects the Common Stock will cease to be listed on Nasdaq
on or about December 28, 2015.  The Company anticipates that the
Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets following
delisting, but there is no assurance that the Common Stock will be
quoted on any over-the-counter market.

Upon delisting from Nasdaq, the Company intends to file a Form 15
with the SEC to terminate the registration of its Common Stock
under the Exchange Act.  At such time, the Company's periodic
reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act will be suspended, including its obligations to file annual
reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current
reports on Form 8-K.  The Company, however, intends to continue to
publicly disclose, through press releases, postings on its website
and through the OTC Disclosure and News Service, periodic financial
and other information regarding the Company.

As previously disclosed, on August 4, 2015, the Company received a
letter from Nasdaq providing notification that the Company failed
to meet the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for
continued listing on Nasdaq, and that the Company had until
February 1, 2016, to regain compliance with such requirement before
it was involuntarily delisted from Nasdaq.  The Company's Board of
Directors unanimously determined to voluntarily delist from Nasdaq
and deregister the Common Stock in light of the impending
involuntary delisting from Nasdaq, and after consideration of the
advantages and disadvantages of being a company registered with the
SEC, including the cost of maintaining such registration and the
Company's continuing ability to finance such costs.

FORESTAR (USA): Moody's Cuts Corporate Family Rating to B2
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of Forestar (USA)
Real Estate Group Inc., including its Corporate Family Rating to B2
from B1, Probability of Default to B2-PD from B1-PD, and the rating
on its senior secured notes to B3 from B2. In the same rating
action, Moody's changed the company's outlook to negative from
stable. The downgrade reflects Forestar's deteriorating credit
metrics as the company grapples with its energy business and the
weak performance of its core land development segment. With oil
prices at multi-year lows, we expect the company's metrics will
remain under pressure in the next 12 -- 18 months.

The following rating actions were taken:

Corporate Family Rating downgraded to B2 from B1;

Probability of Default downgraded to B2-PD from B1-PD;

Gtd Senior secured notes downgraded to B3 (LGD4) from B2 (LGD4);

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating changed to SGL-3 from SGL2.

Outlook changed to negative from stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B2 corporate family rating reflects Forestar's small size and
scale and its exposure to two highly capital intensive and cyclical
industries. Its energy segment, which accounts for approximately
30% of its revenues, has been dragging the overall company's
performance down after recording large impairments in 2015, pushing
Forestar's debt leverage higher. As of September 30, 2015, the
company's debt leverage, as measured by Moody's adjusted debt to
book capitalization, was 48%, almost 10 percentage points higher
than the same time last year. In addition, the company's land
development segment's performance in 2015 has been disappointing,
as it experienced a year-over-year decline despite strong
improvements in the overall housing market.

At the same time, however, Forestar's debt leverage, while
significantly higher than before, is still good for its rating
level. In addition, the rating is supported by Moody's positive
outlook on the homebuilding industry and expectations of a strong
growth in 2016, which should support Forestar's land development
segment.

Forestar's SGL- 3 rating reflects the company's decreasing cash
balances ($93 million as of September 30, 2015), our expectation of
continued negative cash flow generation, and its requirement to
maintain compliance with several covenants. At the same time, the
company's liquidity is supported by its large, undrawn $300 million
secured revolver maturing in 2017 that has $283 million in
availability as of September 30, 2015. Forestar must maintain
compliance with three key covenants under its secured credit
facility: an interest coverage ratio of greater than 2.5x, a
leverage ratio of less than 50%. and a tangible net worth
requirement of higher than $379 million. While the company was in
compliance with all of them as of September 30, 2015, its cushions
were small, and additional large impairments and/or continued
decline in oil prices could lead to covenant violations.

The negative outlook reflects our expectation that Forestar's
credit metrics will remain under pressure as its oil and gas
segment continues to suffer from the low energy prices.

A rating upgrade is unlikely at this time. The outlook will be
stabilized if the company successfully sells its non-core,
non-residential assets, demonstrates solid growth in its land
development business, and strengthens its liquidity.

The Corporate Family Rating could be pressured if adjusted debt to
capitalization grows to above 55% on a sustained basis, net losses
continue, cash flow becomes increasingly negative, or liquidity
sources are diminished.

Spun off from Temple-Inland Inc. at the end of 2007, primarily
institutionally owned, and headquartered in Austin, TX, Forestar is
principally a real estate and natural resources company. Total
revenues for the 12 months ended on September 30, 2015 were $229
million.

------------------------------------------------------------
Fusion NBS Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of Fusion
Telecommunications International, Inc., on Dec. 8, 2015, entered
into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amends and
restates the $40 million Credit Agreement, dated as of Aug. 28,
2015, with Opus Bank.  The Amended Credit Agreement amends the
Original Credit Facility by (i) providing Opus Bank's consent to
FNAC's acquisition of the Fidelity Companies, (ii) adding the
Fidelity Companies as guarantors under the Amended Credit
Agreement, and (iii) modifying or eliminating certain of the
financial covenants contained in the Original Credit Facility.

All borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a
first priority security interest on all of the assets of FNAC,
Fusion, Fusion BVX, LLC, PingTone Communications, Inc., Network
Billing Systems, LLC and the Fidelity Companies (other than FTL),
as well as the capital stock of each of Fusion's subsidiaries.  In
addition, subject to certain limitations, Fusion, FBVX, NBS,
PingTone and the Fidelity Companies (other than FTL) have
guaranteed FNAC's obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement,
including FNAC's obligations to repay all borrowings.  FTL will be
joined as a guarantor under the Amended Credit Agreement at the
time of the Second Closing.

Simultaneous with the execution of the Amended Credit Agreement,
Fusion, FNAC, FBVX, NBS, PingTone and the Fidelity Companies (other
than FTL) executed the Fourth Amended and Restated Securities
Purchase Agreement and Security Agreement with Praesidian Capital
Opportunity Fund III, L.P., Praesidian Capital Opportunity Fund
III-A, LP and United Insurance Company of America.  The Restated
Purchase Agreement amends and restates the terms of the Third
Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement and Security
Agreement, dated as of Aug. 28, 2015, pursuant to which FNAC
previously sold its Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series
E and Series F senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $51
million.

The Restated Purchase Agreement amends the Third Amendment by (i)
providing the lenders' consent to the acquisition of the Fidelity
Companies, (ii) joining the Fidelity Companies as guarantors and
credit parties under the Restated Purchase Agreement, and (iii)
modifying or eliminating certain of the financial covenants
contained in the Third Amendment.  Subject to certain limitations,
Fusion, FBVX, NBS, PingTone and the Fidelity Companies (other than
FTL) have guaranteed FNAC's obligations under the Restated Purchase
Agreement, including FNAC's obligations to repay the Notes.  FTL
will be joined as a credit party and guarantor under the Restated
Purchase Agreement at the time of the Second Closing.

GT ADVANCED: Has Until Jan. 22 to Propose Chapter 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved GT
Advanced Technologies' motion to extend the exclusive period during
which the Company can file a Chapter 11 plan and solicit
acceptances thereof until Jan. 22, 2016, and March 22, 2016,
respectively.

As previously reported, "On Nov. 29, 2015, GTAT filed its Emergency
Motion for Order (A) Authorizing Debtors to Pay Put Option Premium
and Expenses in Connection With Exit Financing Commitment and (B)
Approving Indemnity Obligations Thereunder (the 'Exit Financing
Commitment Motion'), which requests, among other things,
authorization to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with
the commitment for GTAT's exit financing.  GTAT has requested
expedited consideration of the Exit Financing Commitment Motion at
the hearing scheduled on Dec. 1, 2015.

The exit-financing commitment letter includes a requirement that
GTAT file its plan of reorganization and disclosure statement no
later than Dec. 21, 2015.  Against this backdrop, GTAT submits that
the requested extension of the Exclusive Periods balances GTAT's
operational need to emerge from chapter 11 as soon as possible --
which will help preserve estate value -- while also providing the
necessary runway for a thorough confirmation process and a
consensual plan.  Accordingly, the extension of the Exclusive
Periods requested here is appropriate under the circumstances
because it will allow GTAT the time it needs to document a plan of
reorganization consistent with the Plan Term Sheet, as well as a
disclosure statement for such plan, begin the confirmation process,
and build consensus as it advances the plan process."

HOVENSA LLC: Files Liquidating Plan Based on Sale to Limetree
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hovensa, L.L.C., which has agreed to sell most of its assets to
Limetree Bay Holdings, LLC for $220 million, filed a liquidating
plan that contemplates allocating $30 million of the sale proceeds
for holders of allowed non-priority general unsecured claims.

The primary objective of the Plan is to maximize the value of
recoveries to all holders of allowed claims and to distribute all
property of the Estate that is or becomes available for
distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the
Bankruptcy Code.  The explanatory Disclosure Statement has blanks
as to the estimated recovery for holders of GVI claims, tort
claims, and general unsecured claims.  Holders of equity interests
will not receive any distribution on account of their interests.

On the Petition Date, the Debtor submitted a motion seeking
approval of proposed bidding procedures and disclosed a deal to
sell its crude oil and product storage and terminalling business to
Limetree Bay Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of ArcLight Capital
Partners, LLC, for $184 million, absent higher and better offers.

The Debtor received a rival offer from Buckeye Partners, L.P. for
$198.6 million by the Nov. 5 bid deadline, as well as nine bids
from parties interested in purchasing and liquidating the Debtor's
refinery assets, and proposals from Capswell Energy Co. and Monarch
Energy Partners, Inc.

Following an auction on Nov. 10, 11 and 16, Limetree submitted a
final bid of $220 million, including $100 million in cash, and
Buckeye submitted a final bid of $365 million, which includes $345
million in cash.  The Debtor, however, selected Limetree Bay as the
winning bidder due to the greater conditionality in the Buckeye
bid.  The Debtor pointed out that Buckeye has no agreement with the
Governor of the USVI on a concession agreement.

Limetree Bay's final offer provides:

   i. purchase price of $220 million consisting of: (a) $100
million of cash to the Government of the Virgin Islands (the "GVI")
in satisfaction of certain of its claims and as a concession fee,
(b) $90 million to the Debtor's estate, and (c) up to $30 million
of reimbursement of post-closing wind-down costs and expenses;

  ii. an agreement to provide the Debtor with free power after the
closing to the extent that the minimum turndown amount of power
exceeds the power generation load used by Limetree Bay to operate
its business, and the first $15 million of additional power for
which the Debtor would have otherwise paid free of charge under a
power supply services agreement to be entered into at closing; and

iii. an agreement with the Governor on a concession agreement to
be taken to the Legislature, which agreement contains additional
payments and other financial consideration to be paid by Limetree
Bay to the GVI.

In an effort to obtain the Committee's support for a sale
transaction to Limetree Bay, the parties agreed that HOVIC or one
of its affiliates will assume the Debtor's ongoing pension
obligations, which will materially reduce the amount of the
Debtor's projected unsecured claims pool, in exchange for the
Committee's support for estate releases.

In advance of the Nov. 30 sale hearing, the Debtor, the JV Parties,
and the Committee engaged in further negotiations over the form of
order approving the sale.  Ultimately, the sale order was further
revised to include a paragraph that requires $30 million of the
sale proceeds to be placed in a separate interest bearing account
for the sole benefit of holders of allowed non-priority general
unsecured claims other than: (1) claims held by HOVIC or PDV-VI;
(2) any claims of the GVI; and (3) any claim of any governmental
entity, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Committee, the
Debtor, and any liquidating trustee, as appropriate.

On Dec. 1, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Sale Order.

The Purchase Agreement provides for the Debtor's estate to receive
approximately $90 million from the sale proceeds.  Pursuant to the
Sale Order, the Debtor is required to repay in full in cash to the
DIP Lenders all accrued but unpaid DIP Obligations upon the
Closing.  In addition, based upon the Debtor's claims estimates,
the sale proceeds will permit the Debtor to cover its remaining
pre-closing administrative obligations and make the best possible
distribution to unsecured creditors under the circumstances.

In addition, the Sale Order and the Purchase Agreement provide
that, at the Closing, Limetree Bay will pay the USVI Government the
USVI Concession Fee in the amount of $100 million.  In addition to
this fee, the GVI also will receive several monetary and
non-monetary benefits directly from Limetree Bay pursuant to a
separate agreement reached among the Governor and Limetree Bay
dated Nov. 9, 2015.  On Dec. 1, 2015, the Governor held a press
conference to announce the terms of the Operating Agreement, which
includes among other things:

   * $220 million in an upfront payment to the GVI;

   * A commitment from Limetree Bay to operate the oil storage
facility for at least 25 years and up to 40 years;

   * A commitment from Limetree Bay to employ a minimum of 80
full-time workers, at least 80% of whom must be long-term USVI
residents;

   * An agreement from Limetree Bay to potentially restart the
refinery and dismantle any part that is not being used;

   * A donation of 330 acres of land and 130 units of housing along
with a vocational school and a community center to the GVI; and

   * Payment of $150,000 annually as rent for the submerged lands
that are part of the Debtor's property, which is an increase from
the current $1 per year rent.

The Governor also stated that he believes the Operating Agreement
represents a total value to the GVI and the people of the USVI of
more than $800 million.  The Governor also announced that he called
the 31st Legislature of the Virgin Islands of the United States
into special session to be held on Dec. 17, 2015 to consider
approval of the Operating Agreement.

Liquidation, dated Dec. 10, 2015, is available for free at:

on the south shore of St. Croix, including approximately 300 acres
of undeveloped land to the east of the refinery and storage.
Hovensa currently maintains its headquarters at 1 Estate Hope,
Christiansted, St. Croix, USVI.

Hovensa L.L.C. filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of the Virgin Islands (Bankr.
D. V.I. Case No. 15-10003) on Sept. 15, 2015, with a deal to sell
most of the assets.  Judge Mary F. Walrath is assigned to the
case.

The Debtor estimated assets of $100 million to $500 million, and
liabilities of more than $1 billion.

The Debtors tapped Morrison & Foerster LLP as bankruptcy counsel;
The Law Offices of Richard H. Dollison as local bankruptcy counsel;
Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC to provide Thomas E. Hill as

The Debtor's owners, HOVIC and PDV-VI, have agreed to provide DIP
financing in an amount not to exceed $40 million.  The DIP facility
requires the Debtors to achieve certain milestones, including
closing of the sale by Dec. 31, 2015.


HOVENSA LLC: Targeting January 2016 Confirmation of Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Hovensa, L.L.C., has filed before the U.S. District Court of the
Virgin Islands, Bankruptcy Division, St. Croix, Virgin Islands a
motion for an order (i) granting conditional approval of the
disclosure statement explaining its proposed liquidating plan, and
(ii) setting a January 7 combined hearing to consider final
approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan.

The Debtor says it lacks access to additional financing and is
expected to exhaust its liquidity in short order.  In order to
maximize the value of its estate, the Debtor hopes that the sale
transaction with Limetree Bay Holdings, LLC, will close shortly,
upon receiving the approval of the U.S. Virgin Islands Legislature.
The Debtor wants to reduce the administrative costs associated with
the chapter 11 case and be in a position to make distributions to
creditors as soon as possible.

To that end, the Debtor seeks to proceed as expeditiously and
efficiently as possible to obtain approval of the Disclosure
Statement and confirm the Plan.

In light of the circumstances of the chapter 11 case, the Debtor
submits that the proposed timeline is reasonable and appropriate
under the circumstances:

HOVENSA LLC: Virgin Islands Legislature Tackles Limetree Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Web site of the Legislature of the Virgin Islands
-- http://www.legvi.org/-- Legislators, chaired by Senate
President Neville A. James, stepped down into Committee of the
Whole, Wednesday, to receive testimony from officials regarding the
operating agreement relative to the refinery on St. Croix.

Bill No. 31-0283 is an act ratifying the operating agreement by and
among the government of the Virgin Islands and Limetree Bay
Terminals LLC -- the buyers of the oil refinery, storage terminal,
and related facilities located at Limetree Bay, St. Croix.

After swearing to tell the truth under the penalty of perjury,
officials representing the Department of Finance, The Department of
Planning and Natural Resources, ArcLight Capital, Limetree Bay
Terminals, and government consultants testified on the measure.

Valdamier Collens, Commissioner of the Department of Finance, said
that the agreement "offers by far the best opportunity to
refurbish, restart, operate and potentially expand the oil storage
terminal."  Additionally, he said, the agreement leaves open the
possibility of future petroleum processing operations at the
facility.

Senators expressed dissatisfaction with the timing allotted to
digest the terms of the operating agreement and questioned
officials at length on varying aspect of the agreement including
environmental impact, liability, payout fairness etc.

Sen. Kurt A. Vialet referenced a Wall Street Journal article by
Georgi Kantchev noting that oil "inventories next year are expected
to rise by 300 million barrels."

Vialet noted that based on the growing need for oil storage, it was
likely that Arclight would meet the full 31 million barrels of
storage capacity, maximizing the government's payout.  However, the
fiscal obligation is likely worth more than the agreement requires
the buyer, ArcLight, to pay.  "It's up to us to make sure that we
have the best agreement," said Vialet.

If passed, the government of the Virgin Islands will receive an
immediate cash fusion of 220 million dollars.  Of that amount, 200
million will go directly to the treasury, while the remaining 20
million will go toward tax refunds owed to the people of the Virgin
Islands.

Subsequently, ArcLight has committed to investing at least  $125
million in the facility within the first two years, secured 12
million barrels of storage for a ten year period and expressed a
vision for the future of the refinery facility showing a vested
interested in a long-term relationship.

Collens explained the government's history with the refinery since
its closure in 2012 when Hovensa abdicated its contract 10 years
early, leaving the people of the Virgin Islands to grapple with the
loss of more than 2,000 jobs.

Bill Cline, Senior Advisor with Gaffney Cline and Associates, also
testified.  The agreement "has a 25 year term with a 15 year
extension" possibility, he said.  Additionally, "regardless of the
revenues of the facility the government will be entitled to a
minimum annual payment of $4 million in year one, rising to $5
million in year two, $6 million in year three and $7 million in
year four and each year thereafter."

Moreover, "there will also be a variable annual payment to the
government during each year of the facility's operation," said
Cline.  That variable payment will be nine percent of terminal
revenues when the latter is less than $120 million in that year. If
the refinery is restarted in whole or in part however, the
government would be entitled to 17.5% of earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

At press time, legislators continued to question officials.

All senators including Marvin A. Blyden, Jean A. Forde, Novelle E.
Francis, Kenneth L. Gittens, Clifford F. Graham, Justin Harrigan
Sr., Myron D. Jackson, Neville A. James, Almando "Rocky" Liburd,
Terrence "Positive" Nelson, Nereida Rivera O'Reilly, Tregenza A.
Roach, Sammuel L. Sanes, Kurt A. Vialet, and Janette Millin Young,
were present.

HRK HOLDINGS: LT Care Line of Credit Maturity Extended to 2016
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. K. Rodney May of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Florida extended the maturity under the long term care
line of credit from Sept. 7, 2015 to Sept. 7, 2016, as requested
by HRK Holdings LLC and HRK Industries LLC.

The judge ordered that:

   * The Debtors are authorized to execute and deliver to Regions
Bank the documentation as it reasonably requires to evidence the
extension of the maturity of the Long Term Care Line of Credit and
the Letter of Credit.

   * The Corrected Budget under the Long Term Care Line of Credit
is approved.

   * The Debtors are further authorized to take advances under the
Long Term Care Line of Credit pursuant to the Corrected Budget, as
set forth in the Funding Agreement.

   * The provisions of the Fourth Financing Order will remain in
full force and effect, except to the extent modified by the Funding
Agreement and the Order.

   * The provisions of the Funding Agreement will remain in full
force and effect except as modified by this Order.

The Court previously entered a final order approving the Fourth DIP
facility from Regions Bank.  Pursuant to the Fourth DIP Facility,
the Debtors established a line of credit from funds made available
upon closing of sales to Allied, Mayo, and Thatcher Chemical of
Florida, Inc., to address certain long-term case issues with
respect to the maintenance of the Gypstacks -- phosphogypsum stack
system.

                        About HRK Holdings

HRK Holdings and HRK Industries LLC filed for Chapter 11
protection (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case Nos. 12-09868 and 12-09869) on
June 27, 2012.  Judge K. Rodney May oversees the case.  Barbara A.
Hart, Esq., and Scott A. Stichter, Esq., at Stichter, Riedel,
Blain & Prosser, P.A., represents the Debtors.

HRK Holdings disclosed $33.4 million in assets and $26.09 million
in liabilities in its revised schedules.

According to the Debtors, the bankruptcy filing was necessitated
by the immediate need to sell a portion of the remaining property
to create liquidity for (a) funding the urgent management of the
site-related environmental concerns; the benefit of creditors;
funding a litigation filed by the Debtors; and funding of expenses
related to additional sales of the remaining property.

HRK Holdings is selling real property assets to Allied Universal
Corp. and Mayo Fertilizer, Inc.  The Court allowed HRK and the
purchasers to enter into any modifications to the agreements
without need of further Court approval, provided that no
amendments will occur without prior consent of Regions Bank.



HYDROCARB ENERGY: Delays Oct. 31 Form 10-Q Filing
-------------------------------------------------
Hydrocarb Energy Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange
Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with
respect to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
Oct. 31, 2015.   

The Company said it has been unable to timely compile the
accounting reports necessary to complete financial statements for
review by its auditor due mainly to the fact that the Company did
not complete and file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended July 31, 2015, until Nov. 13, 2015, and has not had
sufficient time between the filing date of such Annual Report and
the due date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended Oct. 31, 2015, to prepare the required information.  

                      About Hydrocarb Energy

qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended July 31, 2015, citing that the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.

MAGNUM HUNTER: Bankruptcy Court Approves "First Day" Motions
------------------------------------------------------------
Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and certain of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries on Dec. 17 disclosed that the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware has approved a variety of "first
day" motions related to Magnum Hunter's voluntary chapter 11
restructuring.  Collectively, the first day orders entered provide
the Company with the ability to continue operating in the ordinary
course while it continues to pursue a comprehensive financial
restructuring.

"The Court's approval is another positive step forward in our
efforts to address our capital constraints and reposition Magnum
Hunter as a market leader in the new oil and gas operating
environment due to record low commodity prices," said Gary C.
Evans, Magnum Hunter's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  The
Court approved motions that give the Company the ability to, among
other things, pay employee wages and benefits without interruption
throughout the restructuring process, continue its current cash
management program, continue making royalty payments to mineral
owners, and pay pre-bankruptcy claims to certain of the Company's
oil and gas vendors.

Importantly, the Court approved the Company's debtor-in-possession
financing ("DIP Financing") on an interim basis.  As previously
announced, the DIP Financing is a key component of the Company's
overall restructuring strategy, which is set forth in a
restructuring support agreement filed with the Bankruptcy Court
(the "RSA").  The DIP Financing generally provides for a $200
million senior and junior secured multi-draw term loan,
approximately $40 million of which was made available upon entry of
the interim order (the "Initial Draw").  The Initial Draw provides
the Company with sufficient liquidity to fund its postpetition
operations and continue operating in the ordinary course of
business without interruption during these chapter 11 cases.

As previously announced, on December 15, 2015, the Company filed
its voluntary chapter 11 cases to implement an in-court financial
restructuring that will result in a substantial deleveraging of the
Company's balance sheet and that is supported, pursuant to the RSA,
by approximately 75% in principal amount of the Company's funded
debt claims.  Under the timeline set forth in the RSA, the Company
expects to emerge from chapter 11 in approximately four months,
financially stronger than ever before.

MILLER ENERGY: Amends Joint Plan of Reorganization and Outline
--------------------------------------------------------------
BankruptcyData reported that Miller Energy Resources filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court an Amended and Revised Joint Chapter 11 Plan
of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement.

According to the Disclosure Statement, "The primary purpose of the
Plan is to effectuate the restructuring of the Debtors' capital
structure (the 'Restructuring') by, among other things, reducing
their overall indebtedness and improving free cash flow. Presently,
the Debtors have a substantial amount of indebtedness outstanding
under the Credit Agreement in the amount of approximately $189.7
million, and other obligations to various third parties.  If the
Debtors are not able to consummate the Restructuring, the Debtors
will likely have to formulate an alternative plan or liquidate, and
the Debtors' financial condition will likely be further materially
adversely affected.
The Restructuring will reduce the amount of the Debtors'
outstanding indebtedness by converting the Credit Agreement Claims
into 100% of the New Miller Common Stock and issuance of the New
Notes.  Unsecured Claims, including the Lender Deficiency Claims,
will receive the treatment set forth in the Plan and discharged...
The Debtors' mid-point estimated Enterprise Value is $151 million.
Because the Lenders have a lien on substantially all assets of each
of the Debtors, this requires the bifurcation of the Credit
Agreement Claims of $189.7 million into the Lender Secured Claims
aggregating $151 million and the Lender Deficiency Claims
aggregating $38.7 million.  The Lender Secured Claims would thus be
entitled to the full value of the Debtors and there would be no
value left for distribution to Unsecured Creditors.  The Lenders
have nevertheless consented to the Distributions to Unsecured
Creditors summarized above as part of the global settlement on the
condition that they vote to accept the Plan, which would avoid the
need for a contested and potentially expensive Plan confirmation
process.  Accordingly, it is appropriate to treat all of the
Debtors' Unsecured Creditors equally for voting and distribution
purposes."

Judge Kevin J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District

provisions of the Settlement Agreement are as follows:

   (1) the Debtors will disburse the Surcharge Amount as follows:
       (i) $222,661 to Evercore and (ii) $222,661 to the Agent;

       Distribution to the Sale Fee;

   (3) the Monthly Fee Claim will be entitled to payment from the
       Pre-Trigger Date Reserve, subject to final allowance of the

   (4) upon payment of the Evercore Distribution, Evercore will be
       deemed to have released any and all right, claim or
       interest whatsoever in or to the Sale Proceeds and the Cash
       Collateral; provided, however, that Evercore will retain
       the right to seek payment of the balance of the Sale Fee
       Claim from the Post-Trigger Date Reserve and its right to
       payment of the Monthly Fee Claim from the Pre-Trigger Date
       Reserve; and

NEW GULF RESOURCES: Business as Usual During Ch. 11 Process
-----------------------------------------------------------
New Gulf Resources and certain subsidiaries on Dec. 17 disclosed
that they have filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware, to facilitate a pre-arranged
restructuring of their balance sheet through a collaborative
reorganization plan.  The company has entered into a Restructuring
Support Agreement ("RSA") with an ad hoc committee of creditors
holding more than 72% of its second lien notes and 22% of its
subordinated PIK notes, who have agreed, subject to the terms
thereof, to provide at least $125 million of new capital to
increase liquidity post-reorganization and permanently pay down
existing first lien debt.  Specifically, the RSA provides for $75
million in debtor-in-possession ("DIP") secured credit financing to
be funded by, and a $50 million rights offering to be backstopped
by, the ad hoc committee RSA.  The company believes this
demonstrates the lenders' support and approval of the Company's
restructuring plan, as well as their commitment to NGR's success.

The Company is pleased to have the continued support of its second
lien noteholders, who, together with the parties that are
backstopping the equity rights offering, will own substantially all
of the equity in the reorganized NGR.  All second lien noteholders
will have the right to participate in a portion of the new money
investment.

"This restructuring is an important step forward, and enables New
Gulf Resources to take full advantage of our attractive assets in
East Texas, most notably, the Bedias Creek, Johnson Ranch, Halliday
and Kurten areas and to compete more effectively in the challenging
commodity price environment," said  Ralph A. Hill, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of New Gulf Resources.  "We are confident
that by enhancing liquidity and right-sizing the Company's debt,
the restructuring will allow New Gulf Resources to navigate the
industry's current down-cycle and bridge to a recovery in commodity
prices.  We fully expect to operate business-as-usual throughout
this process and to emerge as a financially stronger company, with
long-term benefits for our employees, vendors and business
partners.  This is an important milestone for NGR.  We can now
combine the strength of our employees and assets in the prolific
East Texas Basin with the financial strength of our lenders
providing NGR new liquidity and a strong balance sheet.  I am proud
the team we brought to NGR has accomplished its goals of being able
to successfully navigate through this poor commodity environment
and clean up the balance sheet while attracting new talent and
proving up the vast potential of our portfolio of assets."

The Company expects to work diligently with all key parties to
reorganize and exit Chapter 11 in the most efficient manner
possible.  The current NGR management team is expected to remain in
place to lead the company through the bankruptcy process and
execute the Company's strategy upon post-reorganization.

New Gulf Resources also filed a series of motions which the Company
anticipates will be granted, enabling the Company to maintain
business-as-usual operations throughout the Chapter 11 process.
These first day motions will enable NGR to continue to produce oil
and gas from its existing operations, pay employee wages, honor
existing employee benefit programs and pay royalties to mineral
owners under the current terms of these agreements.

The Company has also filed a motion seeking authority to pay
expenses associated with production operations activities, drilling
and completion activities, costs associated with gathering,
processing, transportation and marketing and expenses related to
joint interest billings for non-operated properties.

The ad hoc committee of creditors has retained PJT Partners LP as
its financial advisor and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP as legal
counsel.

New Gulf Resources has retained Barclays and Zolfo Cooper LLC as
its financial and restructuring advisors.  The Company is
represented by Baker Botts L.L.P.

NEW GULF RESOURCES: Files for Chapter 11 with Pre-Arranged Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tulsa, Oklahoma-based independent oil and natural gas company New
Gulf Resources, LLC, et al., sought for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection to effectuate an agreement with an ad hoc committee of
creditors who held in the aggregate approximately 72% of the Second
Lien Notes and approximately 22% of the Subordinated PIK Notes for
a comprehensive financial restructuring of New Gulf's capital
structure under a confirmable Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

The Plan and Definitive Documents collectively provide the
opportunity for the Debtors to reorganize as a going concern,
continue their day-to-day operations substantially as currently
conducted, and exit Chapter 11 with a new capital structure and
appropriate leverage.

The Debtors maintained they have been hit hard by the dramatic
decline in the price of oil and gas as their revenues are generated
from the sale of unrefined oil and gas.  

"The price of oil had decreased by more than 50% year over year --
from approximately $92 a barrel as of Sept. 15, 2014, to below $50
a barrel as of Sept. 15, 2015.  On Aug. 24, 2015, the price of oil
hit a six-year low, dipping below $39 per barrel, and within a week
of the Petition Date had dropped below $37," the Debtors disclosed
in the Court filing, citing various sources.

Danni S. Morris, chief financial officer of NGR Holding Company
LLC, said, "[F]aced with a heavy debt burden, declining revenues
and a commodity price environment poised to remain depressed for a
sustained period of time, New Gulf engaged restructuring advisors
and began to proactively explore strategic alternatives to improve
its capital structure."  "In light of oil prices and related
financial modeling, it appeared the company's liquidity would
become materially constrained by early 2016 and that the company
would not be in compliance with its financial covenants to MidFirst
Bank," he continued.

Having extensively explored other alternatives, the Debtors
determined that the transactions negotiated with the Ad Hoc
Committee resented the highest and best value available to the
company and its stakeholders.

                  Restructuring Support Agreement

The Debtors and the Ad Hoc Committee entered into the Restructuring
Support Agreement on Dec. 17, 2015.

The Ad Hoc Committee has committed to provide $75 million in
debtor-in-possession financing.  In addition, the Ad Hoc Committee
has agreed -- subject to a 30-day diligence contingency (the
"Diligence Out") -- to backstop the $50 million rights offering and
exchanging the DIP financing for convertible PIK debt issued by the
reorganized Debtors pursuant to the Plan.  In the event the Ad Hoc
Committee exercises the Diligence Out, all milestones under the DIP
Credit Agreement are automatically extended, giving the company a
total of 180 days to formulate and implement a revised exit
strategy.

Subject to the Court's approval of the Disclosure Statement
and in accordance with the RSA, the Ad Hoc Committee has agreed to
vote in favor the Plan.  Moreover, all other creditors impaired by
the Plan (namely, the Subordinated PIK Noteholders) are
contractually subordinated to the Second Lien Notes and deeply out
of the money.  Nevertheless, as part of the overall settlement
embodied in the RSA and the Plan, the Second Lien Noteholders are
voluntarily forgoing their right to part of the distributions under
the Plan that they are otherwise entitled to receive so that the
Debtors can (i) unimpair (or minimally impair) allowed general
unsecured claims, such as the claims of suppliers and vendors, and
(ii) provide for a pro rata distribution to Subordinated PIK
Noteholders of a portion of the new equity of certain of the
Reorganized Debtors upon emergence.

On the Effective Date, certain of the Reorganized Debtors will
issue New First Lien Notes in the original aggregate principal
amount equal to $135.25 million.

The holders of Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims -- whose Claims
amount to approximately $365 million in aggregate principal amount
outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the Applicable
Premium in the amount of not less than $63 million -- will receive
95% of the New Equity Interests upon emergence, which amount will
be reduced to 87.5% if the Class of holders of Allowed Subordinated
PIK Notes Claims accept the Plan, in either case subject to the
Dilution Events.  In addition, the holders of Allowed Second Lien
Notes Claims have the right to participate Pro Rata in the Rights
Offering.

The holders of Allowed Subordinated PIK Notes Claims -- whose
Claims amount to approximately $162 million in aggregate principal
amount outstanding -- will receive their pro rata share of
approximately 12.5% of the New Equity Interests, but only if they
vote to accept the Plan, or 5% if they instead vote to reject the
Plan.  In either case, their recovery is subject to the Dilution
Events.

                       First Day Motions

Concurrently with the petition, the Debtors filed a number of
"first day" motions and applications seeking relief that they
believe is necessary to enable them to operate in Chapter 11 with
minimal disruption.  The Debtors are seeking Court permission to,
among other things, obtain debtor-in-possession financing, utilize
existing cash management system, pay employee wages and benefits,
prohibit utility providers from discontinuing services,  and pay
critical vendor claims.

A copy of the declaration in support of the First Day Motions is
available for free at:

PATRIOT COAL: Bid for Injunctive Relief vs. Peabody Denied
----------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy Judge Keith L. Phillips of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of Virginia on Dec. 9, 2015, entered an order
denying Patriot Coal Corp. and United Mine Workers of America's
motion for injunctive relief against Peabody Corp. in connection
with the reopening of Patriot's previous bankruptcy case in St.
Louis, Missouri.

Patriot filed its first chapter 11 cases in the St. Louis Court in
2012 (the "Missouri Bankruptcy"), confirmed a plan of
reorganization on Dec. 17, 2013, and closed those cases on Sept.
30, 2014.  Patriot then filed chapter 11 cases before the United
States Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of Virginia on May 12,
2015, and the Court confirmed the plan of reorganization (the
"Plan") on Oct. 9, 2015.  The Plan went effective on Oct. 26, 2015
(the "Effective Date").  The claims administration process is
ongoing.

While Patriot prepared for its confirmation hearing in the Virginia
Court, Peabody filed a motion to reopen the chapter 11 cases in the
St. Louis Court, which motion was granted on October 9, 2015, right
before the confirmation of the Plan.

Peabody filed a motion to reopen the Debtors' first bankruptcy case
to allow Peabody to file an adversary complaint to determine, what,
if any, ongoing obligations Peabody, United Mine Workers of America
("UMWA"), UMWA Employees and UMWA Retirees have under the Peabody
Settlement Agreement once it is rejected by the Debtors in the
Second Patriot Bankruptcy Cases.  The Peabody Complaint seeks a
declaration that Patriot has "materially breached the Settlement
Agreement. . . and [Patriot's] material breaches of the Settlement
Agreement excuse Peabody from performing the Future Obligations."

According to the Debtors, with both cases open, substantively
overlapping disputes -- related to a tripartite agreement among
Peabody, Patriot, and UMWA (the "Settlement Agreement") -- are
pending in both cases: (a) proofs of claim filed by Peabody against
Patriot (the "Peabody Claim"); (b) proofs of claim filed by the
UMWA for a contingent claim against Patriot (the "UMWA Claim"); (c)
the adversary proceeding related to the Peabody Complaint (the
"Missouri Adversary Proceeding") pending before the St. Louis
Court; and (d) the joint complaint filed by Patriot and the UMWA in
response to the Peabody Claim in this Court (the "Patriot/UMWA
Complaint") (altogether, the "Disputes").  The threshold issue in
each of the Disputes is whether Patriot breached its obligations
under the Settlement Agreement.

Patriot Coal asked the Virginia Bankruptcy Court to order
injunctive relief against Peabody on various grounds:

  * The Peabody Complaint Will Interfere with the Court's
Jurisdiction.  The Peabody Complaint, filed in the St. Louis Court,
seeks adjudication of the parties' respective rights and
obligations in the event of an alleged breach of the Settlement
Agreement by Patriot, the same determination required of the
Virginia Court in connection with the Peabody Claim, the UMWA
Claim, and the Patriot/UMWA Complaint.

   * The Peabody Complaint Cannot Proceed in a Parallel Bankruptcy.
As Peabody's own motion acknowledges, many lower courts have held
that the Supreme Court's decision in Freshman v. Atkins, 269 U.S.
121 (1924), created a per se prohibition on parallel bankruptcy
proceedings.

   * The Virginia Court Has Subject Matter Jurisdiction and Should
Enjoin the Peabody Complaint.  The Peabody Objection addresses not
only the merits of the Preliminary Injunction Motion, but also
questions the Virginia Court's subject matter jurisdiction.

   * The Automatic Stay Was In Full Effect When Peabody Filed Its
Complaint, and It Prohibits the St. Louis Court From Litigating
Patriot's Rights Under the Settlement Agreement.  The Plan
expressly recognized that the automatic stay would continue to
protect the Debtors' estates through and including the Effective
Date.  Because the Peabody Complaint was filed before the Effective
Date while the automatic stay was still in effect, the Peabody
Complaint was void ab initio and the Defendants' standing arguments
must fail.

In their objection to the Debtors' motion, Peabody Energy
Corporation ("PEC") and Peabody Holding Company, LLC said the
Debtors and the UMWA are not entitled to injunctive relief for
several reasons:

   * First, as explained in Peabody's Motion to Dismiss or in the
Alternative to Transfer [Va. Adv. 5], the Virginia Court lacks
subject matter jurisdiction over the Dispute.

   * Second, injunctive relief is not available under section
105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code because the Debtors and the UMWA
cannot make the requisite showing that Missouri Adversary
Proceeding will frustrate or thwart the Debtors' reorganization
efforts -- which are now complete.  The Second Plan was confirmed
on October 9, 2015. The asset sales contemplated by it have been
closed, and the Second Plan has gone effective.

   * Third, the Missouri Adversary Proceeding did not violate the
automatic stay.  Section 362(a)(1) does not apply to actions
against non-debtors except in unusual circumstances, not present
here.  While section 362(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code stays actions
seeking to adjudicate a debtors' rights under a contract, it does
not stay actions seeking to adjudicate non-debtors' rights under a
contract even when the debtor is a party to that contract.
The Debtors are not a party to the Missouri Adversary Proceeding
and thus, regardless of the outcome in Missouri, are free to
litigate any issues regarding the 2013 Settlement Agreement in the
claims reconciliation process before the Virginia Court.  In any
event, neither the Debtors nor the UMWA have ever disputed that
Patriot has materially breached the 2013 Settlement Agreement.  Nor
could they.  In that agreement, Peabody agreed to, among other
things, provide over $140 million in credit support securing
Patriot's performance of various underlying obligations. Patriot,
however, remained obligated to perform those underlying obligations
and agreed to reimburse Peabody if the credit support was drawn.
Over $22.4 million of the credit support already has been drawn due
to Patriot's failure to perform the underlying obligations, and
additional draws likely will occur in the near future.  Patriot has
not reimbursed Peabody any of the $22.4 million and has no
intention of doing so.

   * Finally, the Missouri Adversary Proceeding does not violate
the Second Plan Injunction.  Peabody expressly opted out of the
Second Plan's third-party release (Art. VIII.D) and, thus, its
claims against third-parties (including those against the UMWA)
were not discharged, released or subject to exculpation under the
Article VIII of the Second Plan.  By its express terms, then, the
Second Plan Injunction does not enjoin the Missouri Adversary
Proceeding.

                        About Patriot Coal

Patriot Coal Corporation is a producer and marketer of coal in the
United States.  Patriot and its subsidiaries control 1.4 billion
tons of proven and probable coal reserves -- including owned and
leased assets in the Central Appalachia basin (in West Virginia
and Ohio) and Southern Illinois basin (in Kentucky and Illinois)
and their operations consist of eight active mining complexes in
West Virginia.

Patriot Coal first sought Chapter 11 protection on July 9, 2012,
and, on Dec. 18, 2013, won approval of its bankruptcy-exit plan
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Missouri.  The plan turned over most of the ownership of the
company to bondholders that include New York hedge fund Knighthead
Capital Management LLC.  The linchpins of the plan were a global
settlement among the Debtors, the United Mine Workers of America,
and two third parties -- Peabody Energy Corporation and Arch Coal,
Inc. -- and a commitment by a consortium of creditors, led by
Knighthead, to backstop two rights offerings that funded the plan.

Patriot Coal Corporation and its subsidiaries commenced new
Chapter 11 cases (Bankr. E.D. Va. Lead Case No. 15-32450) in
Richmond, Virginia, on May 12, 2015.  The cases are assigned to
Judge Keith L. Phillips.

Patriot Coal estimated more than $1 billion in assets and debt.

The Debtors tapped Kirkland & Ellis LLP as counsel; Kutak Rock
L.L.P., as co-counsel; Centerview Partners LLC as investment
bankers; Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC, as restructuring
advisors; and Prime Clerk LLC, as claims and administrative agent.

The U.S. trustee overseeing the Chapter 11 case of Patriot Coal
Corp. appointed seven creditors of the company to serve on the
official committee of unsecured creditors.  The Committee is
represented by Morrison & Foerster LLP as its counsel, and
Tavenner & Beran, PLC, as its local counsel.  Jefferies LLC
serves as its investment banker.

                        *     *     *

The Debtors on Oct. 9, 2015, won confirmation of their Chapter 11
Plan.  On Oct. 26, 2015, the effective date of the Plan occurred.
The Plan contemplates the sale of most of the assets to Blackhawk
Mining LLC and the remaining assets to Virginia Conservation
Legacy Fund.  The Debtors named Eugene I. Davis as the liquidating
trustee.

The claims administration process is ongoing.

PENNYMAC: Moody's Assigns B1 Corp. Family Rating, Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 corporate family rating
("CFR") and issuer rating to Private National Mortgage Acceptance
Company, LLC ("PennyMac"). The outlook is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

PennyMac's ratings reflect the company's strong profitability,
solid capital level, and experienced management team. PennyMac's
financial metrics compare well to its B-rated residential mortgage
finance peers. Pre-tax pre-provision profit as a percent of managed
assets averaged above 6% per annum over the last several years.
PennyMac maintains strong capital level, as demonstrated by the
company's tangible common equity to assets ratio of more than 25%.
Moody's expects PennyMac's tangible common equity to assets ratio
to be above 20% as the company continues to grow its loan
production and servicing operations.

Other risk factors include PennyMac's reliance on short-term
secured funding for its investment portfolio, which limits the
company's financial flexibility, its limited franchise position as
a financial services company in the residential mortgage market,
and the risks embedded in its rapid growth.

In addition the ratings reflect PennyMac's reliance on PennyMac
Mortgage Investment Trust ("PMT") as an important funding vehicle
and revenue source for its loan production and loan servicing
business.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectation that
PennyMac will be able to maintain its solid financial performance,
minimize operational risk and maintain solid capital level.

Ratings could be upgraded if PennyMac can further diversify its
origination channels and funding structure, reducing its reliance
on correspondent lending business as well as secured financing.

The ratings could be downgraded if financial performance
deteriorates - for example, if net income to managed assets falls
consistently below 4% or if leverage increases such that the
company's tangible common equity to assets falls below 20%.



PTC GROUP: Moody's Cuts Corp. Family Rating to Caa2, Outlook Neg
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded PTC Group Holdings Corp.'s
corporate family rating to Caa2 from B3, its probability of default
rating to Caa2-PD from B3-PD and its senior secured term loan
rating to Caa3 from Caa1. The ratings downgrades reflect PTC's
deteriorating credit metrics, weak liquidity profile and the need
to address debt maturities due within the next year. The ratings
outlook is negative.

The following actions were taken:

Downgrades:

Corporate family rating, downgraded to Caa2 from B3;

Probability of default rating, downgraded to Caa2-PD from B3-PD;

Senior secured term loan, downgraded to Caa3 (LGD4) from Caa1
(LGD4)

Outlook Actions:

Outlook, Remains Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

PTC's Caa2 corporate family rating reflects its deteriorating
credit metrics and diminished liquidity profile due to its recent
weak operating results and higher than anticipated costs on its
recently abandoned project to facilitate the production of seamless
tubular products. The rating also reflects its small size relative
to other rated steel companies, its high customer concentration,
its exposure to steel price volatility and the need to address debt
maturities due within the next year.

PTC's operating results have been weak over the past few years
driven by reduced shipments to service centers and original
equipment manufacturers exposed to the construction, mining and
agriculture sectors along with substantially lower steel product
prices. These trends accelerated during 2015 and the company's
revenues have declined by about 20% and its adjusted EBITDA by
about 80% during the first nine months of the year. While PTC's
operating performance has weakened it has also incurred additional
borrowings to support capital investments related to its abandoned
project to develop the capability to produce seamless tubular
products. The general contractor installing the seamless tubular
production equipment ceased work on the facility in March 2015 due
to disputes over engineering issues, cost overruns and missed
deadlines. The project resulted in several lawsuits including a
class action lawsuit (which has since been withdrawn) and a
contractor lawsuit against PTC Group Holdings and a lawsuit against
the general contractor on the project. As a result of the issues on
the project, PTC Seamless Tube Corp. filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection in late April 2015 in an attempt to shield
PTC's other operating subsidiaries from the creditors of PTC
Seamless. However, PTC had already spent about $80 million on the
project before it was abandoned and its credit metrics have
materially weakened with its adjusted leverage ratio (Debt/EBITDA)
rising to 6.8x in September 2015 from 4.1x in December 2014 and its
interest coverage ratio (EBIT/Interest Expense) declining to 0.1x
from 1.7x. These metrics are expected to weaken in the near term
and are not likely to materially improve in 2016 since Moody's
expects steel prices and end market demand to remain weak.

The company's liquidity has deteriorated substantially due to
spending on the seamless tubular project and very weak operating
results. PTC had about $3 million of cash and $18.6 million of
availability on its $65 million asset based lending facility as of
September 30, 2015. The company had a borrowing base of about $43
million and about $25 million of outstanding borrowings. The ABL
facility has a springing fixed charge covenant that is tested when
availability falls below $10 million. Availability on the facility
could be reduced in the near term if PTC is unable to secure an
amendment to its credit agreement since business conditions remain
very weak and its fixed charge coverage ratio was barely in
compliance with the springing fixed charge ratio covenant for the
LTM period ended September 2015. The ABL facility matures in August
2019 or 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date of any of the
term loan debt. Therefore, the facility could mature as early as
mid-September 2016 since the $64 million Term Loan B-1 matures in
mid-December 2016.

The negative outlook reflects the company's weak liquidity profile
and the current weak operating environment including historically
depressed steel prices and lackluster demand, which will limit the
potential improvement in PTC's operating results. The outlook could
return to stable if the company's liquidity increases, its
operating results and credit metrics improve and it addresses its
looming debt maturities.

An upgrade of PTC's ratings is unlikely in the near term given the
company's weak liquidity and its looming debt maturities. However,
the ratings could experience upward pressure if the company is able
to generate positive free cash flow, significantly raise its
liquidity and extend its debt maturities while producing improved
credit metrics. A leverage ratio below 6.0x and EBIT-to-interest
expense trending above 1.25x could put upward pressure on the
rating.

Negative rating pressure could develop if PTC's credit metrics and
operating results remain very weak and it does not address its debt
maturities in the near term.

PTC Group Holdings Corp., headquartered in Wexford, PA, is a
manufacturer of welded and cold drawn mechanical steel tubing and
tubular shapes, fabricated parts, precision components and
chrome-plated rod. PTC's major end markets include construction,
agricultural and mining equipment, automotive and heavy truck
components and industrial machinery. PTC generated $270 million in
revenues for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2015. Black
Diamond Capital Management is the majority owner of PTC

REVSTONE INDUSTRIES: Suit Against Fasig-Tipton Moved to Kentucky
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fasig-Tipton Company, Inc., filed a renewed motion asking the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to
transfer to the Eastern District of Kentucky the venue of the
complaint filed by Fred C. Caruso, solely in his capacity as the
Revstone/Spara Litigation Trustee of the Revstone/Spara Litigation
Trust.

Fasig-Tipton contends that the Bankruptcy Court should transfer the
Proceeding because the transactions underlying the claim against it
took place entirely in Kentucky, between Kentucky individuals and
entities, and that all potential witnesses and evidence are located
in Kentucky.  In response, the Trustee argues that transferring
venue would prejudice the Debtor, Revstone Industries, LLC, by
forcing it to prosecute a core matter in a foreign jurisdiction and
would waste judicial and estate resources.

In a Memorandum Order dated November 4, 2015, which is available at
http://is.gd/IAPCCMfrom Leagle.com, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Linehan
Shannon in Delaware granted Fasig-Tipton's Motion to Transfer the
Proceeding to the Eastern District of Kentucky, finding that
Fasig-Tipton has shown that the Proceeding should be transferred to
Eastern District of Kentucky.

The adversary case is Fred C. Caruso, solely in his capacity as the

ROTHSTEIN ROSENFELDT: Segall Gordich Says Sanctions Unwarranted
---------------------------------------------------------------
Aebra Coe at Bankruptcy Law360 reported that Segall Gordich PA told
a Florida bankruptcy court Friday that a motion for sanctions filed
against it there is meritless, rejecting the contention that it was
improper for the firm to remove to the court a fee dispute
connected to Scott Rothstein's $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.

According to Segall Gordich, an agreed order between it, Conrad &
Scherer LLP and Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton LLP in the Florida
bankruptcy court guides the distribution of fees flowing from cases
that stemmed from the Rothstein Ponzi scheme.

                    About Rothstein Rosenfeldt

Scott Rothstein, co-founder of law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler
PA -- http://www.rra-law.com/-- was suspected of running a     
$1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.  U.S. authorities claimed in a civil
forfeiture lawsuit filed Nov. 9, 2009, that Mr. Rothstein, the
firm's former chief executive officer, sold investments in non-
existent legal settlements.  Mr. Rothstein pleaded guilty to five
counts of conspiracy and wire fraud on Jan. 27, 2010.

Creditors of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler signed a petition sending
the Florida law firm to bankruptcy (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No.
09-34791).  The petitioners include Bonnie Barnett, who says she
lost $500,000 in legal settlement investments; Aran Development,
Inc., which said it lost $345,000 in investments; and trade
creditor Universal Legal, identified as a recruitment firm, which
said it is owed $7,800.  The creditors alleged being owed money
invested in lawsuit settlements.

Herbert M. Stettin, the state-court appointed receiver for
Rothstein Rosenfeldt, was officially carried over as the
Chapter 11 trustee in the involuntary bankruptcy case.

On June 10, 2010, Mr. Rothstein was sentenced to 50 years in
prison.

The official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the
case is represented by Michael Goldberg, Esq., at Akerman
Senterfitt.

RRA won approval of an amended liquidating Chapter 11 plan
pursuant to the Court's July 17, 2013 confirmation order.  The
revised plan, filed in May, is centered around a $72.4 million
settlement payment from TD Bank NA.

SILICON GENESIS: Seeks Dismissal of Chap. 11 Case
-------------------------------------------------
Silicon Genesis Corporation asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California, San Jose Division, to dismiss its
Chapter 11 case, modify the terms of a prior cash collateral and
employment orders to eliminate the filing of final fee
applications, and retain jurisdiction to resolve disputes regarding
the allowable amount of fees to Firsthand Technology Value Fund,
Inc., incurred in connection with the case and any disputes between
Silicon Genesis Corporation and estate professionals regarding
compensation.

The Debtor proposes to pay the fees owed to Firsthand and the
estate's professionals outside the Chapter 11 case but resolve any
disputes regarding those fees in the Court.  The Debtor says it is
attempting to discard those elements of Chapter 11 it now views as
costly, such as confirming a plan and filing fee applications, yet
maintain the benefit of the Court's involvement in fee disputes.

Tracy Hope Davis, the United States Trustee for Region 17, objects
to the motion, contending that the Debtor seeks to circumvent the
Bankruptcy Code and involve the Court in a distribution scheme
absent a Confirmed Plan.  The U.S. Trustee asserts that the Debtor
and its creditors cannot pick and choose which provisions of
Chapter 11 they will comply with.  Given that the Debtor has funds
available to pay creditors, the Debtor should proceed with a plan
confirmation process in this case, the U.S. Trustee further
asserts.

THORNBURG MORTGAGE: 11th Cir. Affirms Dismissal of "Lawrence"
-------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff-Appellant Ronald Lawrence appeals pro se the dismissal of
his complaint that Defendants-Appellees Thornburg Mortgage Home
Loans, Inc., Cenlar Federal Savings Bank, and McCalla Raymer, LLC,
conspired to retaliate and to defraud Lawrence in a loan
transaction that ended with a non-judicial foreclosure on his real
property.  The district court, sua sponte, dismissed the complaint
against Thornburg Mortgage as violative of the automatic stay in
its proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act.  The
district court dismissed Lawrence's complaint against Cenlar Bank
and McCalla Raymer for failure to state a claim for relief and for
failure to plead with particularity the circumstances constituting
fraud.

In a Decision dated December 2, 2014, which is available at
http://is.gd/BDcb73from Leagle.com, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirms the dismissal of
Lawrence's complaint for finding that the district court did not
err by dismissing Lawrence's complaint against Cenlar Bank.

The Eleventh Circuit held that Lawrence failed to allege that
Cenlar Bank acted under color of state law or that it reached an
understanding with another defendant to deprive Lawrence of any
right under state or federal law. Lawrence's conclusory allegations
that defendants collectively and individually participated in a
conspiracy to retaliate and to commit fraud, misrepresentation and
to violate well-established laws were insufficient to withstand the
motion by Cenlar Bank to dismiss.

The case is RONALD A. LAWRENCE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. THORNBURG
MORTGAGE HOME LOANS INC., CENLAR FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, MCCALLA
RAYMER, LLC, Defendants-Appellees, NO. 10-10584, NON-ARGUMENT

over the Chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors have tapped Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, as

TWIN RINKS: Liquidating Plan Confirmed by Judge
-----------------------------------------------
Judge Robert E. Grossman has entered an order confirming the Second
Amended Plan of Liquidation of Twin Rinks At Eisenhower, LLC.

The Debtor set a Nov. 16, 2015 deadline for ballots and reported
that the Plan has been overwhelmingly accepted by voting creditors.
Judge Grossman held a hearing Nov. 23, 2015, to consider
confirmation of the Plan.  A copy of the judge's Dec. 1, 2015 order
confirming the Plan is available for free at:

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Twin_Rinks_232_Plan_Conf_Order.pdf

The Plan provides that:

  -- Allowed priority claims (Class 1) will be paid in full.
The Debtor does not believe there are any unpaid priority claims or
priority tax claims at this time.

  -- Allowed secured claims (Class 2) will receive their pro rata
share of cash remaining in the Liquidation Fund after the
establishment of a reserve for the benefit of, or distributions to,
allowed administrative claims, allowed priority claims, allowed
priority tax claims and Class 3 allowed unsecured claims sufficient
to satisfy the obligations to such classes under the Plan.   The
secured claim of CMBS Venture Funding LLC is allowed in the amount
of $5,248,670.

  -- Holders of allowed unsecured claims (Class 3) will be paid 75%
without interest from the proceeds of the sale of substantially all
of the assets of the Debtor.   The Debtor estimates that ultimately
allowed unsecured claims will be approximately $4,600,000.

  -- For allowed unsecured claims of insiders (Class 3A), each
holder will receive its pro rata share of cash remaining in the
Liquidation Fund after payment of higher ranked claims.  The Class
3A Claim of Clearview Capital Management LLC is allowed in the
amount of $42,136,702.53.  The other members of this Class are
GL-2012 Family Trust, Peter Ferraro, Chris Ferraro and Ferraro
Brothers Hockey, LLC.  The claim of the Ferraro Brothers Hockey,
LLC is disputed.

  -- The allowed interests in the Debtor (Class 4) will be
cancelled and holders of these interests won't receive
distribution.

Holders of secured claims (Class 2), unsecured claims (Class 3) and
unsecured claims of insiders (Class 3A) were entitled to vote on
the Plan.

reasonable, necessary and in the best interests of the estate?

   F. Did the Bankruptcy Court err in finding good cause for
approving the loan?

   G. Did the Bankruptcy Court err in authorizing the Debtor to
borrow additional amounts on undisclosed terms and without
requiring further notice or approval from the Court or interested
parties?

Debtor may enter into and further implement amendments or
modifications to the DIP loan documents that may increase the DIP
loan commitment in incremental amounts not exceeding $4,000,000 and
up to $24,574,038 in the aggregate.

                       About Variant Holding

Variant Holding Company, LLC, commenced bankruptcy proceedings
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in Delaware (Case No.
14-12021) on Aug. 28, 2014, without stating a reason.

Tucson, Arizona-based Variant Holding estimated $100 million to
$500 million in assets and less than $100 million in debt.

The Debtor has tapped Peter J. Keane, Esq., at Pachulski Stang
Ziehl & Jones LLP, as counsel.

Members holding the majority of the interests in the company,
namely Conix WH Holdings, LLC, Conix Inc., Numeric Holding
Company, LLC, Walkers Dream Trust, and Variant Royalty Group, LP,
signed the resolution authorizing the bankruptcy filing.


VARIANT HOLDING: Needs Until Feb. 28 to File Ch. 11 Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Variant Holding Company, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware to further extend the period within which
only the Debtor may file a plan of reorganization to the statutory
maximum of Feb. 28, 2016, and the period within which only the
Debtor may obtain acceptances of the plan to the statutory maximum
of April 28, 2016.

According to the Debtor, it requires additional time to propose a
plan because any plan in its bankruptcy case will be based on value
to be derived from the Debtor's subsidiaries' assets.  The Debtor
was unable to consummate the sale of its Texas/East Coast Portfolio
previously approved by the Court due to the Debtor's equity
holders' appeal of the order.

VIGGLE INC: Robert Sillerman Reports 55.9% Stake as of Dec. 3
-------------------------------------------------------------

executive officer of the Company, disclosed that as of Dec. 3,
2015, he beneficially owns 21,380,954 shares of common stock of

into a subscription agreement pursuant to which SIC IV subscribed
for 8,750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase

of $4,112,500 for the shares of Common Stock for which it
subscribed.  SIC IV paid the purchase price by reducing the amounts
outstanding pursuant to the Line of Credit.  After payment of the
purchase price for the shares, there is $4,562,500 in outstanding

                           About Viggle

New York City-based Viggle Inc. is a loyalty marketing company.
The Company has developed a loyalty program for television that
gives people real rewards for checking into the television shows
they are watching on most mobile operating system.  Viggle users
can redeem their points in the app's rewards catalog for items
such as movie tickets, music, or gift cards.

Viggle reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of
$78.9 million on $25.5 million of revenue for the year ended
June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss attributable to common
stockholders of $68.1 million on $17.98 million of revenues for the
year ended June 30, 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2015, the Company had $74.0 million in total
assets, $59.8 million in total liabilities, $12.04 million in
series C convertible preferred stock and $2.10 million in total
stockholders' equity.

BDO USA, LLP, in New York, issued a "going concern" qualification
on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
June 30, 2015, citing that the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and at June 30, 2015, has a deficiency in
working capital that raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.


VIGGLE INC: To Sell Assets to Perk.com in All-Stock Transaction
---------------------------------------------------------------
Viggle Inc. entered into an agreement to sell a number of assets,
including the Viggle applications and rewards program, to Perk.com,
a leading cloud-based mobile rewards platform provider based in
Austin, Texas, which trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the
symbol PER.TO.  Perk is a mobile-centric rewards platform targeting
the "New Consumer" and rewarding people for their everyday mobile
and internet activities.

Viggle intends to rebrand itself as DraftDay to focus greater
attention on its recently acquired DraftDay Gaming Group subsidiary
which it will retain as its entertainment publishing site (upon
completion of the transaction).  The fantasy sports market is
rapidly growing, with IBISWorld estimating that revenue for the
fantasy sports market has grown at an annual rate of 10.8 percent
to $2.0 billion from 2010 to 2015.  DraftDay is a differentiated
platform in the industry because it is focused on B2B partnerships,
including new ventures with companies within the regulated gaming
industry.  Viggle will change its trading symbol to DDAY, which it
has reserved with the NASDAQ.

At the present time, Wetpaint.com, its play-along app MyGuy, and
its B2B provider of digital rewards in loyalty programs Choose
Digital, will be retained and managed by Viggle as it explores
strategic alternatives for these non-DraftDay assets.  Due to the
deal structure, Viggle anticipates that it will participate in the
upside of the Viggle assets through the shares that it receives in
Perk.com, both at the closing of the transaction and upon earn-out,
depending on the business meeting certain performance metrics and
PER.TO shares reaching certain targeted levels.

Robert F.X. Sillerman, executive chairman and chief executive
officer, commented, "Having launched the Viggle app just a few
short years ago, we have accomplished a lot. Perk.com is now a
natural fit for further monetizing these assets, as it is the
leading mobile rewards program.  We believe this transaction will
be a win-win for all participants to the transaction, including our
shareholders, as we expect to benefit from two fast growing digital
spaces with DraftDay Gaming Group and our stake in Perk.com.  The
transaction will allow us to achieve continuing upside of a
significant ownership position in this exciting combination of
businesses."

Financial Details of the Transaction

Upon closing of the transaction, Perk.com has agreed to pay 1.5
million PER.TO shares to Viggle, which equates to $4.7 million
based on the closing price of PER.TO shares on Dec. 11, 2015.
Perk.com is also advancing $1 million to Viggle, which can be
repaid by reducing the number of shares Viggle receives at closing
to 1.37 million shares.  Additionally, if the annual revenue of the
combined companies exceeds $130 million in either 2016 or 2017,
Viggle will receive an additional 2.0 million PER.TO shares. Perk
will assume all of Viggle's points liability.  Perk will also
provide Viggle with two warrants to purchase a total of 2.0 million
PER.TO shares at CDN $6.25 per share.  The first warrant will vest
and become exercisable for1.0 million PER.TO shares if within two
years of the closing, PER.TO shares trade at an average of CDN
$12.50 for 20 consecutive days.  The second warrant will vest and
become exercisable for an additional1.0 million PER.TO shares if
within two years of closing, PER.TO shares trade at an average of
$18.75 for 20 consecutive days.

Mr. Sillerman stated, "Assuming the earnout is achieved and the
warrants become exercisable, Viggle will have received
approximately $75MM in consideration, with continuing potential
upside for Viggle's shareholders."

The transaction is expected to close in early 2016, subject to the
customary closing conditions.

[*] Moody's Reviews 29 Exploration & Production Firms for Downgrade
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of 29 US exploration
and production (E&P) companies and their rated subsidiaries on
review for downgrade. "Industry conditions have weakened further
with oil and natural gas prices at multi-year lows," said Pete
Speer, Moody's Senior Vice President. "E&P companies will be
stressed for a longer period with much lower cash flows,
difficulty selling assets and limited capital markets access."

RATINGS RATIONALE

As part of an ongoing assessment of energy markets, Moody's
sharply reduced its oil and gas price assumptions on December 15
in light of continuing oversupply in both the global oil markets
and the United States natural gas market. Throughout 2015, E&P has

accounted for the majority of Moody's rating actions and
downgrades consistent with deteriorating liquidity and heightened
default risk. Although most of the companies being put on review
have not had a negative rating action during the current slide of
oil and gas prices, today's review for downgrade reflects much
weaker industry fundamentals resulting in downward rating
pressure. While this review focuses on investment grade and Ba-
rated companies, Moody's continues its assessment of single-B and
lower rated companies.

This broad ratings review will focus on each individual E&P
company's asset base, portfolio durability, cost structure and
returns, as well as management's strategy for coping with a
prolonged downturn. The review will assess each company's cash
flow and credit metrics under our latest price assumptions,
liquidity profile, commodity hedges in place, debt maturity
profile and financing needs, capital spending requirements, and
relative rating positioning.

Moody's expects weaker industry conditions through at least 2017,
as lower prices lead to weaker cash flows, a challenging asset
sales environment and restricted access to capital markets. Low
oil and natural gas prices will reduce companies' cash flows and
further weaken their credit metrics. Asset sales are much more
difficult to transact in this environment and the values of these
assets are much lower. Capital markets access, both debt and
equity, is limited for energy companies, heightening refinancing
risk, particularly for speculative-grade rated companies.

Based on the severity and potential duration of the industry
challenges, Moody's expects that many companies will be downgraded

a notch and some companies could be downgraded more than one
notch. However, some companies' ratings could be confirmed as
well. Moody's expects to conclude most reviews over the next
several months.

The tenets Frank H. Knight sets out in this, his first book,
have become an integral part of modern economic theory. Still
readable today, it was included as a classic in the 1998 Forbes
reading list. The book grew out of Knight's 1917 Cornell
University doctoral thesis, which took second prize in an essay
contest that year sponsored by Hart, Schaffner and Marx. In it,
he examined the relationship between knowledge on the part of
entrepreneurs and changes in the economy. He, quite famously,
distinguished between two types of change, risk and uncertainty,
defining risk as randomness with knowable probabilities and
uncertainty as randomness with unknowable probabilities. Risk,
he said, arises from repeated changes for which probabilities
can be calculated and insured against, such as the risk of fire.
Uncertainty arises from unpredictable changes in an economy,
such as resources, preferences, and knowledge, changes that
cannot be insured against. Uncertainty, he said "is one of the
fundamental facts of life."

One of the larger issues of Knight's time was how the
entrepreneur, the central figure in a free enterprise system,
earns profits in the face of competition. It was thought that
competition would reduce profits to zero across a sector because
any profits would attract more entrepreneurs into the sector and
increase supply, which would drive prices down, resulting in
competitive equilibrium and zero profit.

Knight argued that uncertainty itself may allow some entrepreneurs
to earn profits despite this equilibrium. Entrepreneurs, he said,
are forced to guess at their expected total receipts. They cannot
foresee the number of products they will sell because of the
unpredictability of consumer preferences. Still, they must
purchase product inputs, so they base these purchases on the
number of products they guess they will sell. Finally, they have
to guess the price at which their products will sell. These
factors are all uncertain and impossible to know. Profits are
earned when uncertainty yields higher total receipts than
forecasted total receipts. Thus, Knight postulated, profits are
merely due to luck. Such entrepreneurs who "get lucky" will try to
reproduce their success, but will be unable to because their luck
will eventually turn.

At the time, some theorists were saying that when this luck runs
out, entrepreneurs will then rely on and substitute improved
decision making and management for their original
entrepreneurship, and the profits will return. Knight saw
entrepreneurs as poor managers, however, who will in time fail
against new and lucky entrepreneurs. He concluded that economic
change is a result of this constant interplay between new
entrepreneurial action and existing businesses hedging against
uncertainty by improving their internal organization.

Frank H. Knight has been called "among the most broad-ranging
and influential economists of the twentieth century" and "one of
the most eclectic economists and perhaps the deepest thinker and
scholar American economics has produced." He stands among the
giants of American economists that include Schumpeter and Viner.
His students included Nobel Laureates Milton Friedman, George
Stigler and James Buchanan, as well as Paul Samuelson. At the
University of Chicago, Knight specialized in the history of
economic thought. He revolutionized the economics department
there, becoming one the leaders of what has become known as the
Chicago School of Economics. Under his tutelage and guidance,
the University of Chicago became the bulwark against the more
interventionist and anti-market approaches followed elsewhere in
American economic thought. He died in 1972.

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.
