KEY RATING DRIVERS

The AES Corporation

Improving Credit Metrics: AES' rating upgrade and Positive Outlook

expectations that recourse debt/APOCF(adjusted parent-only cash
flow) will continue to improve to mid-4x by 2018 and below 4x by
2020 from 5.5x in 2015. The APOCF interest coverage is expected to
rise to high-3x in 2018 and to mid-4x by 2019 from mid-2x in 2015.
This improvement is primarily driven by debt reduction, project
completion, and cost cutting. Fitch applies a deconsolidated
approach when assigning AES' ratings and Outlook, as it is an
investment holding company and finances its operations using
primarily non-recourse debt. Approximately 77% of AES's
consolidated debt was non-recourse as of Sept. 30, 2017.

Expanded Asset Sales Allow Further Debt Reduction: AES recently
announced a plan to increase its asset sale target to $2 billion
from $1 billion through 2020; half of which will be executed in
2018. The sale proceeds will be used primarily for debt reduction,
new investments and dividend growth. Since 2011, AES has repaid
approximately 31% of total recourse debt ($2 billion). In March
2017, AES repaid, through a tender offer, $300 million aggregate
principal of its existing 7.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2021
and 8% senior unsecured notes due in 2020, meeting its debt
reduction target for 2017. In 2016, AES repaid approximately $300
million recourse debt, exceeding its initial target of $200 million
for the year.

Diversified Portfolio: AES invests in a diverse portfolio of
regulated electric utilities and power-generating assets with
long-term contracts across four continents and 17 countries, which
Fitch considers its key credit strength. Investment diversity
mitigates macro- and microeconomic environment adversity that
affects local power sectors, and specific project operating risks.
The benefit of diversification was demonstrated in 2016 when AES
was able to increase distribution from other projects to offset
substantial reduction in distribution from AES Gener due to project
delays. Diversification and cash flow will continue to improve due
to project completion and new acquisitions. Approximately 2,976 MW
of new capacity was added in 2016. In 2017 and 2018, 2.7 GW is
expected to come online including the 1.3 GW coal plant in India
OPGC II (AES' share 49%) and IP&L's 671 MW Eagle Valley (AES' share
70%). From 2017 to 2020, 4,847 MW of new projects will be
completed. By 2020, these new projects will extend the remaining
average contract life to 10 years from six years.

Fitch views favourably AES' acquisition of 50% equity interest in
FTP Power LLC (sPower). It is consistent with its strategy to
expand renewable footprint in the U.S. The sPower portfolio
includes 1.3 GW of solar and wind projects operating in the U.S.
that have contracts with 21-year average remaining life with
high-investment grade offtakers and potential 10 GW of development
projects. The transaction closed in July 2017, largely funded by
the revolver, which is expected to be paid down in 2018. In the
third quarter of 2017, AES Tiete Energia SA acquired a 386 MW wind
farm Alto Sertao II in Brazil for $189 million, diversifying
Tiete's hydro portfolio, which has been struggling in the last few
years due to poor hydrology. The project has remaining contract
life of 18 years. The transaction was funded by local debt and
closed in the third quarter.

Alto Maipo Making Progress: Although the hydro project Alto Maipo
in Chile is experiencing construction delays and cost overrun, AES'
diversified investment portfolio has mitigated distribution
shortfall from AES Gener, a sponsor of Alto Maipo. In July, 2017,
Alto Maipo terminated the one of the two contractors Constructora
Nuevo Maipo S.A. (CNM) due to contract breaches. The termination
caused the construction debt to be in technical default and become
current. On November 27, AES Gener announced that Strabag Spa.
(Strabag) has agreed to assume the tunnel construction work under a
fixed-price lump sum contract. AES Gener is currently negotiating
with the lenders to complete the financial restructuring by first
half of 2018. The new completion date is estimated to be in the
2020 and 2021 time frame. Due to restructuring at Alto Maipo, AES
Gener, which is 67% owned by AES and holds 93% equity ownership in
the project, reduced distribution to AES substantially in 2016.
Nevertheless, in 2016, AES met its distribution target by
increasing distribution from other projects. In 2017, as two new
projects in Chile came online in 2016 and AES Gener's financial
strength remains strong, Fitch expects that distribution from AES
Gener will likely increase from the low level in 2016 despite the
ongoing financial restructuring at Alto Maipo.

IPL and IPALCO

Positive Outlook: The rating affirmation and Positive Outlook
reflect Fitch's expectations that the Eagle Valley combined cycle
gas turbine (CCGT) plant (Eagle Valley CCGT) will be operational in
the first half of 2018 and that a base rate case filing is
forthcoming, for which Fitch expects a reasonable outcome. At that
time, IPL and IPALCO will likely be strongly positioned for their
ratings as a fully regulated utility and holding company in a
supportive jurisdiction. The two entities could be upgraded with a
Stable Outlook when a reasonable rate case order associated with
the CCGT plant appears probable. The 671 MW plant is currently 99%
complete and is in the commissioning phase. It is expected to be
operational in the first half of 2018. IPL plans to file a rate
case by the end of the year 2017. The initial commercial operation
date of April 30, 2017 was pushed to first half of 2018 due to
construction delays, which caused regulatory lag as IPL withdrew
its base rate case filing in December 2016 due to project
incompletion.

Cleaner Generation: IPL's generation fuel diversity has
substantially improved in the last 10 years through new build and
retirements. In 2007, 79% of its generation capacity was from coal,
14% natural gas, 7% oil. In 2016, IPL's fuel mix including
purchased power was comprised of 50% coal, 34% gas, 12% wind and
solar and 2% oil. With the Eagle Valley CCGT plant coming online in
2018, the composition will be 42% coal, 47% natural gas, 10% wind
and solar and 1% oil.

Declining Capex: By mid-2018, IPL will complete a large capex
program to retrofit most of its economical coal-fired electricity
generation units with the new emission control equipment and to
build the CCGT at Eagle Valley as a replacement for its retired
generating capacity. In the next three years, capex is expected to
total $680 million or $230 million per year, compared with over
$600 million annually from 2015 to 2016. Out of the $680 million,
$130 million will be spent in environmental capex and growth capex,
$550 million in maintenance capex. The declining capex needs and
the expected cost recovery should meaningfully improve its credit
profile.

Supportive Regulation: IPL benefits from the stable regulatory
environment in Indiana. IPL has minimal commodity price exposure
due to a regulatory pass-through mechanism that allows the utility
to recover fuel and purchased power costs on a timely basis.
Legislative measures exist for IPL to recover environmental
compliance related investments in a timely manner. Even with the
installation of new emission controls, the long-term environmental
policy challenges to coal-fired generation remain a threat to the
long-term viability of these assets. In assigning the IDR, Fitch
relies on Environmental Compliance Cost Recovery Adjustment (ECCRA)
and the Indiana Senate bills 29 and 251 to reduce regulatory lag
partially. The Senate bills allow the recovery of federally
mandated environmental compliance costs and the installation of
clean coal technologies reducing airborne emissions associated with
the use of coal. The Transmission, Distribution and Storage System
Improvement Charge (TDSIC) statute provides for cost recovery
outside of a rate case proceeding for new or replacement for gas or
electric safety, reliability and modernization. The statute
requires a seven-year plan of eligible investments. Once the plan
is approved by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC), 80
percent of eligible costs can be recovered using a periodic rate
adjustment mechanism. IPL's last electric rate case order was
constructive. In March 2016, IPL received the regulatory approval
for its first electric rate case since late 90s which allows for
annual revenue requirement increase of $30.8 million with an ROE of
9.85%. The order also, among other things, authorized IPL to
collect $117.7 million of previously deferred regulatory assets
related to IPL's participation in MISO over 10 years. Rates became
effective in April 2016.

Rating Constraint for IPL: IPL's standalone credit metrics are
strong for its rating given the low-risk business profile and
moderate capital structure. However, its rating is upward
constrained by IPALCO and is only one notch above IPALCO. IPL is
the sole source of dividend for IPALCO. IPALCO's parent level debt
represents approximately 32% of total debt as of Dec. 31, 2016.
Fitch views IPALCO's consolidated leverage as a primary rating
driver for both companies, along with IPALCO's reliance on IPL to
support debt-service and upstream dividend to AES, and the
subordination of IPALCO's debt to that of IPL's debt. Stability of
upstream cash flow from IPL and a constructive regulatory
environment in Indiana partially alleviate the credit concerns
arising from high leverage at IPALCO.

IDR Not Linked to AES: The terms of IPALCO's notes provide a
reasonable degree of separation between IPALCO and AES. IPALCO's
total debt is limited to $1.2 billion ($810 million currently
outstanding). The ratio of IPALCO's EBITDA to interest must exceed
2.5x, and debt cannot exceed 67% of total capitalization on an
adjusted basis to make a distribution or intercompany loan to its
parent, according to IPALCO's articles of incorporation. Changing
the articles of incorporation would require AES approval, IPALCO
board approval, and filing the revision with the secretary of
state. Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, the 30% equity owner
of IPALCO, maintains two seats on the board. IPALCO and IPL
maintain separate identities from AES and do not mingle their cash
with that of AES. These factors separate the ratings of IPALCO and
IPL from the IDR of AES.

DERIVATION SUMMARY

AES' ratings and Outlook benefit from a large and diversified asset
portfolio, relative to its peers Contour Global, L.P. (CGLP,
BB-/Stable), NextEra Energy Partners L.P. (NEP, BB+/Stable) and
TerraForm Power Operating LLC. (TERPO, BB-/Stable). AES owns and
operates 27 GW of generation assets (AES' share), compared to
CGLP's 4 GW, NEP's 2.8 GW of generation and 4Bcf of pipeline assets
and TERPO's 2.6 GW. Quality of AES' portfolio is similar to that of
CGLP but less favorable than NEP and TERPO in terms of fuel mix,
contract length and country risks. Unique among its peers, AES has
demonstrated a history of stable project distributions and
progressive debt reduction leading to steadily improving credit
metrics. AES's leverage ratio is expected to average approximately
4x in the next three years, stronger than NEP and TERPO while
CGLP's credit metrics will continue to evolve as it begins to
distribute dividend and define its capital structure.

IPL is well positioned relative to its peers. IPL is about the same
size in terms of operating EBITDA and has similar fuel mix as
Indiana Michigan Power (IMP, BBB/Stable) and Northern Indiana
Public Service Corp (NIPSCO, BBB/Stable). Similar to IMP and
NIPSCO, IPL benefits from supportive regulatory and business
environment in Indiana. However, IMP is more geographically
diversified, and NIPSCO's gas LDC operations are considered more
superior to IPL's integrated electric-only operations. IPL's
leverage ratios are stronger than those for IMP. IPL produced
adjusted debt-to-operating EBITDAR of 3.7x in 2016 compared with
IMP's 4.7x. However, IPL's rating is upward constrained by its
highly levered parent IPALCO.

IPALCO and NiSource Inc. (NI, BBB/Stable) both benefit from
Indiana's supportive business environment. However, IPALCO's
operating assets are less diversified, concentrating in integrated
electric generation in Indiana, whereas NI operates both gas and
electric regulated utilities in seven states. Gas distribution
companies are NI's primary operations and have no exposure to
environmental control mandates. NI's superbly low operating risks
drive the notching difference from IPALCO.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's key assumptions within the agency's rating case for the
issuer include:

AES:
-- Repay revolver borrowing of approximately $340 million in
    2018;
-- Repay certain amount of long-term debt from 2018 to 2020;
-- Asset sale proceeds of $1 billion in 2018;
-- New capacity coming online from 2017 to 2020 totals 4,847 MW.

IPALCO and IPL:
-- 680 million capex from 2017-2019 ($130 million in
    environmental and growth capex, and $550 million in
    maintenance capex);
-- Eagle Valley CCGT comes online in the first half of 2018; File

    rate case by end of year 2017 with new rates effective in
    2019.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Future Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Positive Rating Action:

-- AES could be upgraded if recourse debt-to-APOCF ratio declines

    below 4.2x and the APOCF interest coverage ratio improves to
    4.5x on a sustainable basis;
-- If AES continues to reduce its operating risks by exiting
    merchant coal generation, increasing long-term contracted
    earnings, and increasing its footprint in United States;
-- IPACLO and IPL can be upgraded if the Eagle Valley CCGT plant
    becomes operational in the first half of 2018 as expected and
    if a reasonable base rate order associated with the recovery
    of the plant is forthcoming, such that IPALCO's consolidated
    debt to EBITDAR improves to and sustains below 5x by 2020.

Future Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Negative Rating Action:

-- AES's ratings and Outlook could be pressured if it fails to
    achieve recourse debt-to-APOCF lower than 5x and
    APOCF/interest higher than 3x and on a sustainable basis;
-- A change in AES's strategy to invest in more speculative, non-
    contracted assets or material decline in cash flow from
    contracted power generation assets could lead to negative
    rating actions;
-- If AES's construction projects experience additional
    unexpected cost overrun or delays that require material equity

    injection;
-- If AES increases shareholder distributions (dividends and
    share buybacks) substantially beyond the public disclosure and

    Fitch's current expectations, rating could also be pressured;
-- If AES executes merger and acquisition transactions funded
    largely with recourse debt, causing its credit metrics to
    breach the guideline ratios above;
-- Fitch would consider negative rating action on IPALCO in the
    event of certain adverse regulatory development, such as
    materially negative rate case outcome or lag associated with
    the Eagle Valley CCGT, causing IPALCO's adjusted debt-to-
    operating EBITDAR to sustain above 6x with low probability to
    recover.

LIQUIDITY

AES continues to have strong liquidity as a result of its
disciplined capital allocation and active management of debt
maturities, a credit positive. Management targets $500 million to
$700 million of minimum liquidity after capital allocation. From
2011 to 2016, the actual liquidity have been comfortably exceeding
the target, ranging from $900 million $1.2 billion. In the next few
years, distribution from operating assets and asset sale proceeds
are expected to be sufficient to cover cash needs from recourse
debt repayment, interest expense, equity investments and
dividends.

On Sept. 30, 2017, AES had $81 million in cash and equivalents, and
$551 million was available under its $1,100 million senior secured
revolving credit facilities maturing July 2021 ($800 million) and
June 2020 ($300 million). As of Sept. 30, 2017, AES had $5 billion
in recourse debt and $17 billion non-recourse debt. In March 2017,
AES repaid, through a tender offer, $300 million aggregate
principal of its existing 7.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2021
and its existing 8% senior unsecured notes due in 2020. Its next
recourse debt maturity will be $228 million 8% senior unsecured
notes due in June 2020.

IPL has an unsecured revolving credit facility of $250 million due
in October 2020. It includes an uncommitted $150 million accordion
feature to provide IPL with an option to request an increase in the
size of the facility at any time prior to October 16, 2019, subject
to approval by the lenders. As of Sept. 30, 2017, IPALCO had $9.2
million cash, and IPL had $17.1 million cash and $129.5 million
revolver available. IPL doesn't have any maturities until $90
million of unsecured notes due in December 2020. IPALCO's $400
million senior secured notes due in May 2018 was refinanced in
August 2017 by issuing $405 million senior secured notes due in
2024. IPALCO's next maturity will be $405 million senior secured
notes due in 2020.

AGFC CAPITAL: Fitch Puts CCC Securities Rating on Watch Positive
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed AGFC Capital Trust I's trust preferred
securities on Rating Watch Positive following the publication of
Fitch's exposure draft regarding its Non-Bank Financial
Institutions Rating Criteria, which contemplates the introduction
of '+' and '-' modifiers at the 'CCC' rating category. The exposure
draft was published on Dec. 12, 2017, after which Fitch is
soliciting market feedback until January 31, 2018. Thereafter,
Fitch will publish finalized criteria and resolve the Rating Watch
status of affected securities within a reasonably short time
frame.

AGFC Capital Trust I is a special-purpose entity that was
established in 2007 to facilitate the issuance of trust preferred
securities on behalf of Springleaf Finance Corporation (Springleaf,
Issuer Default Rating [IDR] 'B'/ Outlook Positive), an operating
subsidiary of OneMain Holdings, Inc. (OneMain, IDR 'B'/Outlook
Positive). The 'CCC' rating on AGFC's trust preferred securities is
two notches below Springleaf's IDR, reflecting the subordinated
nature of the instrument as indicated by the 'RR6' Recovery Rating,
which implies a stressed recovery of 0% to 10%.

OneMain and Springleaf's ratings are otherwise unaffected by this
rating action.

KEY RATING DRIVERS - TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

The Rating Watch Positive reflects Fitch's expectation that the
AGFC Capital Trust I trust preferred securities would be upgraded
by one notch if the updated criteria is finalized as proposed. The
upgrade would reflect revised notching between IDRs and issue-level
ratings, as a function of the Recovery Ratings for a given issue,
taking into account the addition of '+' and '-' modifiers.

RATING SENSITIVITIES- TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

Fitch expects to resolve the Rating Watch in February 2018,
following the conclusion of the exposure draft comment period and
publication of the finalized criteria. If the proposed 'CCC' rating
modifiers and the notching between IDRs and issue-level ratings are
adopted as proposed, the AGFC Capital Trust I trust preferred
securities would be upgraded to 'CCC+' from 'CCC'. If the proposed
'CCC' rating modifiers and the notching between IDRs and
issue-level ratings are not adopted as proposed, the ratings would
be removed from Rating Watch Positive and otherwise unaffected.

Aside from the aforementioned proposed criteria change, the ratings
assigned to AGFC Capital Trust I's trust preferred securities are
primarily sensitive to changes in OneMain's IDR and to a lesser
extent, the recovery prospects of the instrument.

The primary applicable criteria remains the current NBFI criteria
(published on March 10, 2017).

Fitch has placed the following ratings on Ratings Watch Positive:

AGFC Capital Trust I
-- Trust preferred securities 'CCC/RR6'.

Existing ratings on OneMain and affiliated entities are as
follows:

OneMain Holdings, Inc.
-- Long-Term IDR 'B'.

Springleaf Finance Corp.
-- Long-term IDR 'B';
-- Senior unsecured debt of 'B'/'RR4'.

OneMain Financial Holdings, LLC
-- Long-Term IDR 'B';
-- Senior unsecured debt 'B+'/'RR3'.

The Rating Outlook is Positive.


AHMAD SALEHZADEH: DiFusco Buying White Plains Property for $61K
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ahmad Salehzadeh asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to authorize the sale of his right, title and
interest in shares in a cooperative association related to real
property located at 10 North Broadway, Unit 4G, White Plains, New
York to Vittorio A. DiFusco for $61,000.

At the time of the Chapter 11 filing, the Debtor's assets, other
than his residence, consisted chiefly of interests in various
Subway franchises and six apartments in White Plains including the
Unit 4G.  His financial reverses were caused by a combination of
factors, most notably setbacks in his business, tax issues based
upon an audit and the general downturn in the economy.  The
Debtor's only other significant asset is his home in Greenwich,
Connecticut where he resides with his extended family.  He has
entered into a loan modification with Nationstar Mortgage, LLC to
reduce the burden of his monthly mortgage-payments, which the Court
approved on Nov. 14, 2016.

The Debtor intends to file an Amended Plan of Reorganization and a
Disclosure Statement.  The Plan is proposed jointly by the Debtor
and the five of his corporations that have filed their own
bankruptcy petitions and is predicated upon the sale of all six of
the apartments and of each of the five Subway franchisees.  The
Court has already approved the sale of the Debtor's interests in 5
other apartments and such sales have been consummated.

The Apartment was acquired by the Debtor in or about 2005 as an
investment.  The Apartment is a studio, which was purchased as an
investment at the time that the building converted from a rental
building to a cooperative apartment.  The Debtor owns 216 shares
which are allocated in the Apartment.  There is no mortgage
outstanding on the Apartment.  Upon information and belief, the
monthly maintenance fees have been paid and no amounts are overdue.


The Debtor and the Buyer entered into the Contract of Sale for the
sale of the Apartment for $61,000 free and clear of all claims with
$6,100 deposit.

A copy of the Contract attached to the Motion is available for free
at:

      http://bankrupt.com/misc/Ahmad_Salehzadeh_192_Sales.pdf

The Debtor needs the proceeds of the sale to fund the Plan.  The
sale will generate proceeds that exceed any liens on the Apartment,
which the Debtor believes is limited to the Cooperative BAORD.
After paying off the obligations that underlie the respective liens
and all customary closing-costs, including recording fees and
attorney's fees, as Well as the 5% brokerage commissions subject to
Court approval, the proceeds of the sales will be cash in the
Estate for distribution as provided for in the Plan.

The Debtor asks authority to pay reasonable and ordinary closing
costs and the Broker's commissions at the closing.  The amount
sought by the broker (5%) is fair and reasonable and is standard in
the industry.  It is noteworthy that an application for the
approval of the Broker's commissions with respect to the other 5
apartments is scheduled for the return date of the Motion.  The
Debtor will be moving for the Broker's retention.

ALBAUGH LLC: S&P Lowers Senior Secured Debt Rating to 'BB-'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ankeny, Iowa-based agrochemical producer Albaugh LLC plans to
increase the size of its proposed senior secured term loan by $25
million to $350 million, and upsize its revolving credit facility
to $125 million from $100 million. The company plans to use
proceeds from the new debt issuance to fully repay its outstanding
term loan due 2021, and use the remainder to repay foreign credit
lines and for general corporate purposes.

S&P Global Ratings lowered its issue-level ratings on Albaugh LLC's
senior secured credit facilities to 'BB-' from 'BB' and revised its
recovery ratings on the facility to '2' from '1'. The '2' recovery
rating indicates S&P's expectation of substantial (70% to 90%
range; rounded estimate: 85%) recovery in the event of a payment
default. The lower recovery expectations reflect an increase in
senior secured debt.

The corporate credit rating remains 'B+'. The outlook is positive.
The revision of the senior secured recovery rating to '2' from '1',
which results in lower issue-level ratings, is due to the modest
increase in secured debt from the proposed transaction. Although
Albaugh will use a substantial portion of proceeds to repay
existing secured debt, the transaction will result in a modest net
increase in secured debt, leading to a modest decrease in expected
recovery.

S&P said, "The positive outlook reflects our expectation that if
the company is able to maintain improved margins, there is at least
a one-in-three chance for an upgrade within the next 12 months. We
expect the company to continue to benefit from higher volumes and a
favorable shift in product mix, which should support higher margins
than the company generated historically. We expect demand for the
company's chemicals should benefit from the pipeline of products
expected to come off patent over the next few years. We believe the
company is positioned to pursue its growth strategy while
maintaining adequate liquidity and improving FFO to total debt to
about 20% on a weighted-average sustainable basis over the next two
years. Our base-case scenario assumes that management will not
pursue large debt-funded acquisitions or dividend distributions and
will continue to adhere to financial policies that are consistent
with how it has operated the company historically.

"We could raise the rating within the next 12 months if the company
sustains or improves its level of earnings achieved thus far in
2017, such that FFO/debt exceeds 20% on a weighted-average
sustainable basis. Based on our upside scenario forecast, we could
consider a higher rating if revenue grows in excess of 10% while
EBITDA margins are sustained at 2016 levels. Additionally, we would
need to gain more clarity regarding the company's growth
initiatives and future financial policies, before considering a
higher rating.

"We could revise the outlook to stable within the next 12 months if
the company's profitability is harmed by factors such as
unfavorable pricing swings, unfavorable weather patterns affecting
volumes, or unfavorable currency impacts. If such conditions led to
a decline in EBITDA margins of 200 basis points from 2016 levels,
we would expect that FFO to total debt would remain below 20% on a
sustained basis. We could also lower the rating if, against our
expectations, the company's financial policies suddenly became more
aggressive."


ALERIS INT'L: Moody's Puts B3 CFR on Review for Downgrade
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed Aleris International Inc's B3
Corporate Family rating (CFR), B3-PD Probability of Default Rating,
B2 senior secured rating and Caa2 senior unsecured rating under
review for downgrade. The SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating
was affirmed.

The following rating actions were taken:

On Review for Downgrade:

Issuer: Aleris International Inc.

-- Probability of Default Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade,

    currently B3-PD

-- Corporate Family Rating, Placed on Review for Downgrade,
    currently B3

-- Senior Secured Regular Bond/Debenture, Placed on Review for
    Downgrade, currently B2 (LGD3)

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Placed on Review for
    Downgrade, currently Caa2 (LGD5)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Aleris International Inc.

-- Outlook, Changed To Rating Under Review From Developing

Affirmations:

Issuer: Aleris International Inc.

-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Affirmed SGL-3

RATINGS RATIONALE

The review for downgrade results from Aleris' weakening performance
over the course of 2017 on softness in certain end markets, such as
aerospace in Europe due to supply chain destocking, and automotive
due to delayed model launches. In addition, while the construction
markets on North America continue to evidence an improving trend,
it remains lumpy. As a consequence, metric tons shipped are down
about 3.6% through September 30, 2017 versus the 2016 period. These
conditions are expected to continue into the 4th quarter and the
company estimates EBITDA for this quarter to be less than the
comparable 2016 quarter, which was as reported by the company $42.8
million and includes the add back of $15.5 million in start-up
costs relating to the construction and start-up of the automotive
body sheet facility in Lewisport, Kentucky. Earnings performance in
2017 has also been impacted by the outage at Lewisport for upgrades
on the hot mill and to accommodate the auto body sheet production.
The company began shipping automotive products from Lewisport in
November 2017 and the facility continues to ramp up. The ongoing
investment in this production facility and weaker performance
contributes to negative free cash flow, which has been met by
increased debt. As a consequence of the weaker operating
environment and increased debt, debt protection coverage has
weakened and leverage increased as reflected by the LTM September
30, 2017 EBIT/interest ratio of 0.1x and debt/EBITDA of 13.9x as
per Moody's standard adjustments and not adding back the start-up
costs. Even should such be added back for the twelve month period,
leverage would remain high at roughly 9.3x.

The review will focus on the business outlook and the ability to
achieve better performance in the North American, European and Asia
as well as the growth expectations for the automotive body sheet
roll out and over what time frame and the overall time frame for
leverage, as measured by the debt/EBITDA ratio to improve to at
least 6x. The review will also focus on the company's strategic
growth objectives and how such will be funded following the
expiration of the merger agreement between Aleris and Zhongwang USA
LLC in November and on the liquidity available to meet ongoing
working capital and requirements. The reduction in capital
expenditures and the receipt of customer capacity reservation fees
in the fourth quarter of 2017 or first quarter of 2018 will benefit
liquidity.

Headquarter in Beachwood, Ohio, Aleris is a global aluminum rolled
products company with operations in North America, Europe and
China. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, the company
reported revenues of $2.8 billion.

ATHLETIC COMMUNITY: JSIA Seeks Appointment of Chapter 11 Trustee
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jersey Shore Ice Arena, LLC, as successor to Bancorp Bank asks the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey to direct the
U.S. Trustee, after consultation with Jersey Shore, to appoint one
disinterested person as chapter 11 trustee in the bankruptcy case
Athletic Community Team, LLC.

Jersey Shore relates that Oleg Shnayderman is Debtor's sole owner
and is in control of Debtor, and in that position, Mr. Shnayderman
has consistently preferred himself, his affiliate companies and
family over Debtor???s creditors. Based on Debtor???s own flawed
schedules, the Debtor is clearly insolvent throughout 2016 and
2017.

Jersey Shore claims that equity among creditors is the core
principle of bankruptcy. Yet, Jersey Shore avers that the Debtor
has violated that principle every day since commencement of this
case by paying Max Advance LLC and Cash Cow Capital post-petition
on its pre-petition debt since the Debtor is paying these unsecured
lenders back post-petition by sending every business day ACH
payments -- $724 to Max Advance, LLC and $467 to Cash Cow Capital
-- the Debtor has paid or a total of $25,011.

Jersey Shore asserts that the Debtor has failed to produce records
reflecting alleged prepetition loans and rental payments from,
Monmouth Youth Hockey Association ("MYHA") -- whose teams play
under the name Jersey Shore Wildcats -- which payments Mr.
Shnayderman, the Debtor's principal and the president of MYHA,
testified about at the October 6, 2017 hearing.

Jersey Shore asserts that if the Debtor is attempting to satisfy
MYHA's pre-petition debt by allowing its teams to skate
post-petition without further payment, then, again, the Debtor is
violating this principle. Based on the Joint Venture Agreement
between the Debtor and MYHA (which was signed by Mr. Shnayderman on
behalf of MYHA), Mr. Shnayderman let his MYHA teams pay far less
than the market rate. The rental rate at which MYHA could use the
Property ranged from a third to a half less than what Debtor
charged other, unaffiliated parties to rent ice at the Property
($275/hour for MYHA teams compared to $325-$470/hour for other
teams).

Jersey Shore asserts that the Debtor (through Shnayderman) has
continued post-petition to flout its duty of loyalty, particularly
by allowing Mr. Shnayderman's twenty-six MYHA teams to use the
property and the cash collateral necessary to run it without
requiring any post-petition payment for its use. Jersey Shore
argues that the Debtor could be and should be finding entities that
will pay for rental of Debtor???s Property. But Jersey Shore
believes that this is not occurring because of Shnayderman's
loyalty is to his Wildcat teams of MYHA.

Jersey Shore claims that the Debtor is not operating its business
for the benefit of all of its creditors or in a manner to maximize
the value of its assets since it failed to charge rents
post-petition for the use of its property, which constitutes breach
of its fiduciary duty to all creditors and constitutes gross
mismanagement.

Notwithstanding its fiduciary duty towards its creditors, Jersey
Shore claims that the Debtor also failed to pay its secured
creditors (Jersey Shore and Township of Wall) and instead paid Mr.
Shnayderman, his various affiliates and family. Jersey Shore
asserts that in 2016 and 2017 through September 5, the Debtor paid
Mr. Shnayderman, his entities and family over $168,000 -- $163,195
of those payments was made within one year of the Debtor filing
bankruptcy.

Jersey Shore asserts that all of those payments are subject to
avoidance under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code, and this
pattern of consistent self-dealing -- both pre- and post-petition
-- is sufficient cause to appoint a trustee.

In addition, paramount among Debtor's obligations as a
debtor-in-possession is "complete disclosure" by the Debtor of all
of its assets, liabilities, financial transactions both pre and
postpetition. However, to date, Jersey Shore claims that the Debtor
has violated this Bankruptcy Code obligation too by failing to
produce even the most basic financial information from which CBIZ
can conduct a meaningful and complete audit.

In addition to the significant disrepair and public safety risks
into which the Debtor has steered the Property, Debtor has failed
to properly account for the payment of past due real estate taxes
(contrary to Mr. Shnayderman's October 6, 2017 testimony). The 2017
real estate taxes total $164,824.97 which monthly comes to
$13,500.00 in real estate taxes accruing each month. In addition,
interest is continuing to accrue on past due real estate taxes from
2016 and 2017 of $338,228.90. The unpaid real estate taxes and
accruing interest thereon are a prior lien against the Property
which devalues Jersey Shore???s collateral with every passing day.

Thus, Jersey Shore, which has a perfected lien on all of Debtor's
assets and a secured claim in excess of $16 million, justifiably
has no confidence in the Debtor for all the foregoing reasons.
Under such circumstances, Jersey Shore asserts that the appointment
of a trustee is in the best interest of all parties.

Given Debtor's consistent practice of self-dealing and favoring Mr.
Shnayderman, his affiliates and family over its creditors, Jersey
Shore asserts that the Court should appoint a Chapter 11 Trustee.
Jersey Shore asserts that the Court should not allow the Debtor to
continue to dissipate and erode the value of the Debtor???s assets
to the detriment of not only Jersey Shore but all other creditors
of this estate.

BEACH DANS: Sale of Long Beach Business to Haque for $1M Approved
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Ernest M. Robles of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California authorized Beach Dans, Inc.'s sale of the
assets, consisting of the leasehold improvements, furniture,
fixtures, equipment, smallwares, utensils, uniforms, dinnerware,
software, and franchise license, associated with said business for
Denny's #7211 restaurant located at 601 Long Beach Blvd., Long
Beach, California to Mohammed Haque or his assigns for $1,010,000
plus approximately $12,000 for inventory.

A hearing on the Motion was held on Dec. 5, 2017 at 10:00 a.m.

The Sale is free and clear of all liens, claims, interests and
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.

The Sale to the Buyer must close by Jan. 3, 2018.  If the Sale to
the Buyer does not close by Jan. 3, 2018, the Debtor is authorized
to return the Buyer's $20,000 deposit (or $30,000 deposit if escrow
is opened and the Sale does not close for reasons other than the
Buyer's default).

If the Buyer does not close the Sale by Jan. 3, 2018, the Debtor
may close the Sale to back up bidder, New Caney, Inc. or its
assigns for $1,000,000 plus approximately $12,000 of inventory,
which Sale must close by Jan. 10, 2018, pursuant to substantially
the same terms and conditions in the Purchase Contract as amended
to reflect, among other things, the increased sales price.

If the Sale closes to the Buyer by Jan. 3, 2018, the Backup Buyer
is entitled to return of its non-refundable $50,000 deposit.  If
the Buyer does not close the Sale by Jan. 3, 2018, and if the
Backup Buyer does not close the Sale by Jan. 10, 2018 (through no
fault of the Debtor), the Debtor will retain the Backup Buyer's
non-refundable $50,000 deposit.

In the event the Buyer does not close the Sale by Jan. 3, 2018, and
the Backup Buyer does not close the Sale by Jan. 10, 2018, the
Debtor is authorized to sell the business to Denny's, Inc., a
Florida corporation, or its designee, pursuant to the Back-Up
Purchase and Sale Agreement attached to DFO, LLC and Denny's
Limited Opposition for $700,000 plus approximately $12,000 for
inventory with no contingencies, which will close on Jan. 17,
2018.

In the event the Debtor determines to sell the business to Denny's,
it will file a declaration demonstrating that Denny's is entitled
to the protections of Bankruptcy Code Section 363(m), accompanied
by a proposed order thereon.  The Court will review the declaration
and determine whether Denny's is a good faith purchaser within the
meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 363(m).

The Debtor is authorized to pay any amounts owing to the EDD for
its recorded tax lien.  From the Sale closing, the Debtor's portion
of the escrow costs may be paid with the balance of the Sale
proceeds paid to Goe & Forsythe, LLP's Trust Account, which will
not be distributed without further order of the Court.

Pursuant to separate notice, only Meadowbrook has until Dec. 15,
2017, to oppose approval of the Sale with the holding date for a
hearing on any Meadowbrook opposition of Dec. 19, 2017 at 10:00
a.m., only in the event Meadowbrook files a timely opposition.

Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h), the Order will be
effective and enforceable immediately upon entry and its provisions
will be self-executing and the 14-day stay period is waived.  In
the absence of any entity obtaining a stay pending appeal, the
Debtor is free to close under the Sale at any time.

BEAR FIGUEROA: PI Properties Buying Los Angeles Property for $3M
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bear Figueroa, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California to authorize the sale of its right, title
and interest in real property located at 10520 South Figueroa St.,
Los Angeles, California, and related rights, including security
deposits made by the tenants at the Property, furniture and
fixtures, and other personal property located on the Property, to
PI Properties for $3 million.

A hearing on the Motion is set for Dec. 28, 2017, at 11:00 a.m.

The Debtor owns the Property, a 21-unit apartment building.  The
Property is encumbered by a first mortgage in favor of Evergreen
Advantage, LLC and is serviced by FCI Lender Services Inc.  The
current balance of Evergeen mortgage is $2,377,136.  The loan
matured on Aug. 1, 2017.

The Debtor was in the process of refinancing the Evergreen mortgage
when it fell behind on its monthly payments beginning in Nov. 16,
2016.  Evergreen recorded a notice of default and a notice of
trustee's sale.  The foreclosure sale was scheduled for April 7,
2017.  The Debtor commenced its bankruptcy case to liquidate its
assets and pay-off debts.

The Buyer offered an initial amount $2,835,000 for the Property on
Dec. 6, 2017.  The Debtor made a counter-offer of $3 million
purchase the Property, free and clear of all liens, claims, and
interests, on Dec. 7, 2017 and the Buyer agreed.  The parties
entered into the Residential Income Property Purchase Agreement and
Joint Escrow Instructions for the sale of the Property.

The principal terms of the agreement are:

      a. The purchase price is $3,000,000 all cash.

      b. The Buyer has made a deposit of $100,000 into escrow upon
execution of the Agreement.

      c. The Property will be sold "as is, where is" with no
warranties or representations of any kind whatsoever.

      d. The Escrow is to close upon the Court's approval.

The Buyer is willing to pay for the Property in cash and in order
to have the sale on PI Properties' books for the 2017 fiscal year,
wants the sale to close within 15 days.  The Sale is subject to
Court approval.

A copy of the Contract attached to the Motion is available for free
at:

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Bear_Figueroa_127_Sales.pdf

The proposed sale will pay the first lienholder, Evergreen in the
full secured amount of $2,377,136, estimated payoff demand on Dec.
31, 2017.  The proceeds of the proposed sale will also payout the
second lienholder, Los Angeles County Tax Collector, in full in the
amount of $31,444.

The Debtor has been contacted by one party interested in acquiring
the Property, Salt Fish, Inc. in the amount of $2.6 million.  It
has not been contacted by any parties willing to bid more than $3
million for the Property.  Further, the Sale will result in
proceeds substantially in excess of those needed to pay all claims
against the Estate.  The Debtor submits that overbidding is not
necessary for the Sale to be in the best interests of the Estate,
and that the Sale to the Buyer without overbid if justified under
the circumstances.

The Debtor is not aware of any cure amounts that will be required
to be paid in order to assign these leases.  It may also be party
to certain executory contracts relating to utility services being
provided to the Property.  The Debtor asks to assign these
contracts, as well; to the extent the Buyer desires to acquire them
in connection with the Sale.

As the Debtor is a limited liability company, all income taxes
arising as a result of the Sale will be paid by its owners, and
will not become a liability of the Estate.

BETTYE RIGDON: Schroeders Buying Forth Worth Property for $225K
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bettye J. Rigdon asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Texas to authorize the sale of her residential real
property located at 7300 Overhill Road, Fort Worth, Texas to James
and Melissa Schroeder for $255,000.

Because the Debtor does not presently reside in or lease the
Property, she has no current need for the Property.  Until the
Property is sold, the Debtor must continue to maintain insurance on
it, pay property taxes and pay maintenance costs.  These costs
produce no corresponding benefit to her estate at this time.

The Property is encumbered by (i) liens in favor of Tarrant County
for 2016 and 2017 ad valorem taxes; (ii) a first-lien mortgage held
by U.S. Bank National Association and serviced by Ocwen Loan
Servicing, LLC; and by (iii) junior tax liens in favor of the
Internal Revenue Service.  Ocwen has filed a Proof of Claim in the
case for a secured claim in the amount of $64,174.  The Debtor
disputes the amount of Ocwen's claim and believes the correct
amount of Ocwen's claim as of the Petition Date was $46,554.

The Debtor asks the Court to compel Ocwen to execute and deliver an
appropriate Release of Liens to the closing agent, whether or not
Ocwen's allowed claim is paid in full at Closing, and compel the
IRS to execute and deliver an appropriate Partial Release of Liens
to the closing agent.

On Nov. 29, 2017, the Debtor entered into a standard form One to
Four Family Residential Contract (Resale) with the Buyers
concerning her Property.  Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, the
Debtor intends to sell the Property to the Buyers for a cash
purchase price of $255,000.  The Debtor proposes to sell the
Property free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims and
interests, with all such liens to attach to the proceeds of the
Sale with the same validity and priority to which they exist
against the Property, with the exception that if the Sale closes in
2018, the liens securing the payment of ad valorem taxes for the
year 2018 will remain attached to the Property.

Under the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Debtor will be
responsible for up to $3,825 of the Buyers' closing costs and will
be obligated to purchase a residential service contract in an
amount not exceeding $499.  The sale is contingent on the Buyers
obtaining third-party financing and on the sale of the Buyers'
current residence.  The option period under the Sale Agreement has
expired and the sale will be made "as is," as provided more fully
in the Sale Agreement.  The closing under the Sale Agreement is
expected to occur by Dec. 21, 2017.

A copy of the Agreement attached to the Motion is available for
free at:

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Bettye_Rigdon_169_Sales.pdf

The Debtor proposes to disburse the sale proceeds in the following
manner:

      i. All closing costs and expenses associated with the Sale
for which the Debtor is obligated under the Sale Agreement will be
paid in full at Closing;

     ii. The broker commission equal to 6% of the purchase price
will be paid in full at Closing and split evenly between Tony
Culwell Real Estate and the Buyer's broker in accordance with the
Sale Agreement without further Order of the Court;

    iii. All ad valorem taxes assessed against the Property for the
years 2016 and 2017 will be paid in full at Closing to the extent
such amounts are agreed to by the Debtor and Tarrant County, with
any disputed portion to be reserved and held in trust by counsel
for the Debtor pending an agreement between the parties or further
Court Order ("Tarrant County Reserve");

     iv. The Ocwen claim will be paid in full at closing to the
extent such amount is agreed to by the Debtor and Ocwen, with any
disputed portion to be reserved and held in trust by counsel for
the Debtor pending an agreement between the parties or further
Court Order ("Ocwen Reserve"); and

      v. All proceeds of the Sale remaining after payment of the
described items will be disbursed to the IRS at Closing, and any
unused amount of the Tarrant County Reserve and Ocwen Reserve will
be paid to the IRS once those claims have been paid in full, to be
applied to the secured portion of the IRS claim.

The Debtor asks that the Court waive the 14-day stay period under
Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h).

CALYPSO ST. BARTH: Going-Out-of-Business Sales at 16 Stores
-----------------------------------------------------------
Resort wear, home goods, furniture and more are being offered at
prices ranging from 25% to 50% off retail as luxury chain Calypso
St. Barth liquidates all its stores.  Tiger Group and Great
American Group are supervising the going-out-of-business sales at
16 boutiques in New York, Georgia, Massachusetts, Colorado,
California, Florida, Arizona, Maryland and South Carolina (sale
addresses below).

Valued at a total of $15 million, the inventory is drawn from  25
Calypso St Barth's boutiques, nine of which have already closed for
good; the remaining 16 stores will be shuttered at the close of the
liquidation process.  Seven additional U.S. locations were
previously closed.  Calypso St. Barth filed for Chapter 7
bankruptcy protection on Nov. 29, 2017, in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, District of New Jersey(case no.:17-32231 (VFP)).

Founded on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthelemy in 1992,
Calypso St. Barth is well known as a luxury lifestyle brand with an
international following.  Its colorful boutiques are located in
some of the most affluent neighborhoods, resort towns and central
business districts in the country, said Tiger Group Director Ryan
Davis.

"They're filled with exotic and resort-inspired merchandise --
things like dip-dyed caftans, cashmere cardigans, Moroccan-print
pillows and curated pieces by international designers," he said.
"For discerning buyers, these sales represent an extraordinary
value opportunity.  The timing also happens to be ideal, as now is
the time of year when so many travelers start planning their annual
winter getaways."

The available women's apparel and accessories (along with some
collections for girls) include dresses, skirts, tops, sweaters,
jackets and outerwear, as well as pants, shorts, denim, swimwear,
loungewear, purses and underpinnings.

The liquidation sales include the retailer's inventories of home
furnishings such as throws, rugs and natural textiles by
contemporary American and European designers, as well as
traditional artisan goods from countries such as India and Brazil.

Lastly, store furniture and fixtures are also on offer as part of
the liquidation process, Davis noted.

CANNABIS SCIENCE: Investigating Use of Cannabinoids for Pelvic Pain
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective Nov. 16, 2017, Cannabis Science, Inc., entered into a
Research Collaboration Agreement with Stellenbosch University, a
South African Higher Education Institution.  The Agreement provides
for a collaboration between the Company and the University to
develop and investigate the use of Cannabinoids to treat chronic
pelvic pain associated with pelvic inflammatory disease among
women, chronic prostatitis among men, and potentially other chronic
pain associated with other indications.  Furthermore, the Company
wishes to obtain from the University data and certain rights to
inventions that are developed during research funded by the
Company.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the University has developed know-how
and expertise in the treatment of chronic pain and comorbid
disorders and desires to obtain funding and technical support from
the Company to further such research.  Chronic pelvic pain is
common for both men and women in southern Africa, and in the
absence of sufficient treatment options is associated with a
serious treatment gap.  The use of cannabinoids potentially fills
this gap.  This research will also form the basis of the
development of our general pain management research program.  The
term of the Agreement is initially for one year.  In consideration
for the Agreement and performance of the initial Research, the
Company will pay the University $100,000 as seed funding for the
initial ground work.  Full clinical trial expansion plans will be
built from the success of this initial work to be completed.

                     About Cannabis Science

Cannabis Science, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Colorado, on Feb. 29, 1996, as Patriot Holdings, Inc.
Cannabis is at the forefront of medical marijuana research and
development.  The Company works with world authorities on
phytocannabinoid science targeting critical illnesses, and adheres
to scientific methodologies to develop, produce, and commercialize
phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical products.

Cannabis reported a net loss of $10.19 million on $9,263 of revenue
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, compared with a net loss of
$19.14 million on $44,227 revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015.
As of Sept. 30, 2017, Cannabis Science had $2.08 million in total
assets, $5.23 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $3.15 million.

Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P., issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2016.  The auditors noted that the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations since inception, has a
working capital deficiency and will need to raise additional
capital to fund its business operations and plans.  Furthermore,
there is no assurance that any capital raise will be sufficient to
complete the Company's business plans.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.


CAPITAL TRANSPORTATION: Plan Offers 15% Distribution to Unsecureds
------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Transportation, Inc. submits to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of Florida an amended disclosure
statement in connection with the solicitation of acceptances or
rejections of its proposed Plan.

Under the Plan, Class 3 consists of the Allowed Unsecured Claims of
B&L Service, Inc, which the Debtor proposes to pay a 15%
distribution in the total amount of $32,543.25, with payments
commencing on the Effective Date. Any outstanding balance of this
claim will be paid in full in a lump sum payment prior to the
sixtieth month following the Petition Date. Class 3 is an insider.

The Plan provides that Class 4 will be paid a 15% distribution in
the total amount of $53,310.79 over five years, in total monthly
payments of $888.51 per month. Class 4 is not an insider and is
impaired under the Plan. Class 4 consists of the Allowed Unsecured
Claims Arising out of Cedric Jones Litigation, in the total
estimated amount of $355,405.25.

In addition, Class 5, which consists of Allowed General Unsecured
Vendor Claims in the total estimated amount of $17,591.29, will be
paid 15% distribution in the total amount of $2,638.69, which will
be paid in one lump sum payment as of the Effective Date. Class 5
is separately classified from Class 4, as it consists entirely of
vendor claims necessary to the smooth and continued operation of
the Debtor during the post confirmation period, and should be
treated as a convenience class. Class 5 is not an insider, and is
impaired under the Plan.

Class 6 consists of the Allowed 100% Equity Interests of Gaddis
Corporation. The Allowed Equity Interests in the Debtor will
continue to remain in the Debtor so as to permit the Debtor to
implement and execute the Plan. If the Plan is confirmed, Class 6
will contribute the additional and further amount of $50,000 as new
value as of the Effective Date.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11, the Debtor has accumulated
cash reserves, which when added to the new value contributed by
Class 6, are sufficient to fund payments of Class 5 claims as of
the Effective Date. The Debtor believes that its continued
operations will be sufficient to commence payments to Classes 2, 3
and 4 during the Plan Period.

                  About Capital Transportation

The Debtor is a corporation with the sole business of providing
taxi cab services in the Tallahassee, Florida area. For the most
part, the Debtor???s ability to function relies upon obtaining
services from other, related corporate entities, including
dispatching and the leasing of many of its vehicles. For this
reason, the Debtor???s assets are not particularly extensive, and
its value as a going concern would be sharply limited if withdrawn
from the network of services upon which it relies.

On or about February 17, 2015, a judgment was entered against the
Debtor by the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Florida in the amount of $250,000.00. On or about May
4, 2016, a further judgment for attorney???s fees was entered
against the Debtor in the amount of $101,315.00. The weight of
outstanding judgments in the combined amount of $351,315.00
threatened the Debtor???s ability to operate profitably or
otherwise, and the proposed class treatment reflects the Debtor???s
good faith proposal to make legitimate headway on its debt service
while remaining viable in the marketplace, taking into account the
Debtor???s questionable liquidation value.

Capital Transportation, Inc., sought protection under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 17-11664) on Feb.
10, 2017.  John Camillo, president, signed the petition.  The
Debtor estimated assets of less than $500,000 and liabilities of $1
million.  David A. Ray, P.A., is serving as counsel to the Debtor.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has not been appointed
in the Chapter 11 case of Capital Transportation, Inc. as of April
17, 2017, according to the court docket.

CGG HOLDING: Has Until Feb. 9 to Exclusively File Plan
------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York has extended, at the behest of CGG Holding
(U.S.) Inc. and its affiliated debtors the exclusive periods for
them to file and solicit acceptances to their plan of
reorganization, through and including Feb. 9, 2018, and April 10,
2018, respectively.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Oct. 17, 2017, the
Debtors asked for the extension, saying that while CGG S.A. has
made good progress towards consummation of its Safeguard Plan, the
key events in that process have not yet occurred.  In particular,
the French process requires that the Safeguard Plan be approved by
CGG S.A's public equityholders, and the general shareholders'
meeting to consider the safeguard plan was scheduled for Oct. 31,
2017.

subsidiaries of CGG S.A. filed voluntary petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No.
17-11637) in New York, and (iii) CGG S.A. filed a petition under
Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.

CHARMING CHARLIE: Files Chapter 11 to Facilitate Restructuring
--------------------------------------------------------------
Charming Charlie on Dec. 11, 2017, disclosed that in continuation
of its efforts to stabilize its business, the Company has entered
into a Restructuring Support Agreement ("RSA") with a majority of
its Term Loan Lenders and Equity Sponsors.  The RSA provides for a
comprehensive financial and operational restructuring that will
significantly reduce the Company's funded debt amounts and cash
debt service, establish a sustainable capital structure, and enable
Charming Charlie to move forward with its previously announced
Back-to-Basics strategy.

To facilitate the restructuring, the Company and its subsidiaries
have filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.  Charming
Charlie expects to operate the majority of its stores and its
website as usual during the court-supervised process.  Subject to
Court approval, the Company also intends to move forward with its
previously announced plans to close underperforming locations and
simplify its business operations.

"During this holiday season, CharmingCharlie.com and hundreds of
our stores across the country are open for business and serving
customers," said Lana Krauter, Interim Chief Executive Officer of
Charming Charlie.  "The actions we are announcing today are
intended to help ensure that the Company has adequate sources of
financing and the right capital structure to support the business
on an ongoing basis as we continue to implement our Back-to-Basics
Strategy.  We are confident that by reducing the size and scale of
our business, we can focus on the core strengths that make the
Company successful."

Ms. Krauter continued, "We thank our vendors for their ongoing
support through the holiday season.  We also thank our team members
for their hard work and dedication in serving our loyal customers.
Our goal is to move through this process quickly and emerge as a
stronger, more focused organization that is better positioned to
succeed in the rapidly changing retail environment."

The Company has secured commitments for $20 million in new-money
debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from a majority of its
existing Term Loan Lenders.  The Company has also entered into a
$35 million DIP Asset Backed Loan ("ABL") with its current lenders.
Both financing arrangements, which are subject to court approval,
are intended to ensure Charming Charlie is able to continue meeting
its financial obligations throughout the Chapter 11 case.  Charming
Charlie is committed to working with its vendors to help ensure
that inventory levels are maintained and products continue to be
delivered to customers in a timely fashion. Charming Charlie
intends to pay vendors in full for all goods and services provided
after the filing.

In conjunction with the Chapter 11 process, the Company has filed a
number of customary motions with the Court seeking authorization to
support its operations during the restructuring process and ensure
a smooth transition into Chapter 11 without disruption, including
authority to continue payment of employee wages and health and
welfare benefits, and to honor customer programs.

CHARMING CHARLIE: Moody's Cuts PDR to 'D-PD' Following Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Charming Charlie LLC's
Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to D-PD from Caa1-PD. In
addition, Moody's downgraded the company's Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) to Ca from Caa1, and concurrently downgraded the company's
$150 million principal senior secured term loan due 2019 to Ca from
Caa1. The downgrades follow Charming Charlie's December 11, 2017
announcement that it has initiated Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceedings. The ratings outlook was changed to stable from
negative.

Subsequent to actions, Moody's will withdraw the ratings due to
Charming Charlie's bankruptcy filing.

The following ratings at Charming Charlie LLC were downgraded and
will be withdrawn:

-- Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to Ca from Caa1

-- Probability of Default Rating, Downgraded to D-PD from Caa1-PD

-- $150 million principal senior secured term loan due 2019,
    Downgraded to Ca (LGD3) from Caa1 (LGD3)

The ratings outlook has been changed to stable from negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

In the application of Moody's Loss Given Default Methodology, the
family recovery rate was maintained at 50%, signaling what Moody's
believes is the current valuation of the company. The first lien
term loan was downgraded to Ca, with an expected loss rate of 44%.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Retail Industry
published in October 2015.


CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS: Moody's Rates New $11.3B Bank Loans 'Ba1'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba1 rating to the proposed 1st
lien senior secured credit facility of Charter Communications
Operating, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Charter
Communications, Inc. ("Charter"). The new credit facility will
consist of a $3.5 billion revolver, $2.5 billion term loan A and a
$6.3 billion term loan B. The company will use the proceeds to
refinance it existing bank credit facility. Charter's Ba2 corporate
family rating (CFR), Ba2-PD probability of default rating, and
SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating are unchanged. Also, CCO
Holdings, LLC's, a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter, B1 unsecured
ratings also remains unchanged. The outlook remains stable.

Assignments:

Issuer: Charter Communications Operating, LLC

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facilities, Assigned Ba1(LGD3)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The transaction is positive as it increases the duration of the
company's debt maturity profile, as the new term loan A and
revolver will have a maturity of March 2023 and the new term loan B
will have a maturity of April 2025, and as the rates on the new
facilities are lower, it cuts interest costs as compared to the
existing facilities. Moody's expect this transaction to be
debt-neutral and thus will have no impact on leverage. For the last
twelve months ended September 30, 2017, Debt/EBITDA was
approximately 4.5x (including Moody's adjustments).

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Charter's
debt-to-EBITDA (incorporating Moody's standard adjustments) will be
sustained below 4.5x over the rating horizon and the company will
continue to generate positive free cash flow and maintain good
liquidity.

Moody's would consider an upgrade of the ratings with continued
improvements in both financial and operating metrics and a
commitment to a better credit profile. Specifically, Moody's could
upgrade the CFR based on expectations for sustained leverage below
4.0x debt-to-EBITDA and free cash flow-to-debt in excess of 5%,
along with maintenance of good liquidity. A higher rating would
require commitment to the stronger credit metrics, as well as
product penetration levels more in line with industry peers, and
growth in revenue and EBITDA per homes passed. The secured debt
ratings could also rise even without a CFR upgrade if the mix of
secured and unsecured debt were to become more balanced, with
secured debt lowered to around 50% or less. Moody's would likely
downgrade ratings if another sizeable debt funded acquisition,
ongoing basic subscriber losses, declining penetration rates,
and/or a reversion to more aggressive financial policies
contributed to expectations for sustained leverage above 4.5x
debt-to-EBITDA (including Moody's standard adjustments) or
sustained low single digit or worse free cash flow-to-debt.

One of the largest US domestic cable multiple system operators
serving about 27 million customers, 24 million broadband
subscribers, 17 million video subscribers and 11 million voice
subscribers, Charter Communications, Inc. maintains its
headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. Revenue for the last twelve
months ended 9/30/2017 was approximately $41.3 billion.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Pay
Television - Cable and Direct-to-Home Satellite Operators published
in January 2017.


CHURCHILL DOWNS: Moody's Rates New $500MM Unsec. Notes Due 2028 B2
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B2 rating to Churchill Downs
Incorporated's (CDI) proposed $500 million senior unsecured notes
due 2028. Proceeds from the new notes along with the company's new
$700 million senior secured revolver due 2022 and $400 million
senior secured term loan B due 2024 will be used to refinance the
company's existing $500 million senior secured revolver due 2021,
$169 million senior secured term loan A due 2021, and $600 million
5.375% senior unsecured notes due 2021. CDI has a Ba3 Corporate
Family Rating, Ba3-PD Probability of Default Rating, stable rating
outlook, and SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating. "The B2
rating assigned to CDI's proposed senior unsecured notes, two
notches lower than the company's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating,
reflects the significant amount of senior secured debt that ranks
ahead of it in the capital structure," stated Keith Foley, a Senior
Vice President at Moody's. The B2 rating on CDI's $600 million
5.375% senior unsecured notes will be withdrawn once the
transaction closes and these notes are refinanced in full.

Assignments:

Issuer: Churchill Downs Incorporated

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Assigned B2 (LGD5)

LGD Adjustments:

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Adjusted to LGD2, from
    LGD3

RATINGS RATIONALE

CDI's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating takes into account the company's
moderate leverage. CDI's debt/EBITDA on a Moody's adjusted basis
for the latest 12-month period ended September 30, 2017 was 3.7
times. And while Moody's expects there will be short periods where
debt/EBITDA will rise as a result of acquisitions and other
investment activity, it's not expected debt/EBITDA will exceed 4.5
times.

CDI's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating also considers the strong
history, popularity and performance stability of the Kentucky
Derby, the company's annual thoroughbred live horse racing event
held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition, it
incorporates Moody's favorable view of CDI's announcement that it
has signed a definitive agreement to sell Big Fish to Aristocrat
Technologies, Inc. (not rated). The transaction has been approved
by CDI's board and is scheduled to close in the first quarter of
2018. CDI purchased Big Fish in 2014 for about $835 million
including earn-out payments.

Despite losing the potential long-term diversification, potential
upside, and current revenue earnings contribution from Big Fish --
Big Fish currently accounts for about 35% of Churchill's
consolidated revenue and 21% of the company's adjusted EBITDA --
the monetization of Big Fish will provide a significant amount of
cash that CDI can use to provide funding for further investment in
existing and future assets that the company considers core to its
future growth plans.

Credit challenges include the highly discretionary nature of
consumer spending on gaming and betting activities in general. Pro
forma for the sale of Big Fish, CDI will derive about 50% of its
total segment EBITDA from traditional casino gaming. While regional
casino trends in the U.S. have demonstrated stability during the
past few years, the traditional gaming sector, a highly
discretionary form of consumer entertainment, remains vulnerable to
shifts in consumer discretionary spending as well as competition
from an increase in the amount and type of competing forms of
entertainment.

The stable rating outlook considers Moody's view that CDI has the
ability and willingness to maintain Moody's adjusted debt/EBITDA at
or below 4.5 times. A higher rating would require that CDI
demonstrate the ability and willingness to achieve and maintain
lease-adjusted debt/EBITDA at or below 3.0 times. A negative rating
action could result if, for any reason, Moody's believe CDI's
debt/EBITDA will rise to and remain above 4.5 times for an extended
period of time.

Churchill Downs Incorporated (NASDAQ: CHDN) owns the Churchill
Downs Racetrack, home of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks and
TwinSpires.com, an online wagering company. The company also owns
casino operations in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Maine. In
addition CDI has joint venture interest in casino and racing assets
in Ohio, New York, Maryland and Colorado. The company reported
consolidated net revenue of about $1.3 billion for the 12-month
period ended September 30, 2017.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Gaming
Industry published in June 2014.


CHURCHILL DOWNS: S&P Rates $300MM Senior Unsecured Notes 'B+'
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B+' issue-level rating and '6'
recovery rating to Louisville, Ky.-based Churchill Downs Inc.'s
proposed $300 million senior unsecured notes due 2028. S&P said,
"The '6' recovery rating indicates our expectation for negligible
recovery (0% to 10%; rounded estimate: 0%) for noteholders in the
event of a payment default. All other ratings on Churchill,
including our 'BB' corporate credit rating, are unchanged."

RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors

S&P said, "We assigned our 'B+' issue-level rating and '6' recovery
rating to the proposed $300 million of senior unsecured notes. Our
previously published recovery analysis assumed the company would
issue $300 million in unsecured debt, and we had already included
the amount in our recovery analysis. Our simulated default scenario
contemplates a default in 2022 attributable to a prolonged economic
downturn that reduces consumer spending on gaming and pari-mutuel
horse racing, increased competitive pressure in internet gaming,
and a likely deterioration of liquidity.

"We assume a reorganization of Churchill Downs under a distressed
scenario, using a 7.5x multiple to value the company; this multiple
reflects the unique value of the Kentucky Derby event.

"We assume the $700 million revolver would be 85% drawn at the time
of default."

Simplified waterfall

-- Emergence EBITDA: $124 million
-- EBITDA multiple: 7.5x
-- Gross recovery value: $927 million
-- Net recovery value (after 5% administrative costs): $880

CLASSICAL ACADEMY: S&P Revises Outlook to Pos. & Affirms BB+ Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings has revised its outlook to positive from stable
and affirmed its 'BB+' long-term rating on the California School
Finance Authority's series 2013 charter school revenue bonds
outstanding issued for Partnering with Parents LLC on behalf of
Classical Academy Inc. At the same time, S&P Global Ratings
assigned its 'BB+' long-term rating with a positive outlook to the
authority's series 2017A and 2017B charter school revenue bonds,
also issued for Partnering with Parents LLC on behalf of Classical
Academy.

"The outlook revision reflects our view of the organization's solid
financial performance in the last two fiscal years, yielding
impressive lease-adjusted maximum annual debt service coverage
greater than 1.5x, which we expect could continue over the next
year and support a higher rating," said S&P Global Ratings credit
analyst Kaiti Wang.

S&P said, "The rating reflects our view of the combined credit of
The Classical Academy (TCA) and Classical Academy High School
(CAHS). The schools are separately incorporated, chartered, and
maintain separate finances and audits, but are governed by the same
board of directors and consider themselves related institutions.
Revenue from both schools secures the bonds. Both TCA and CAHS have
established operating histories as charter schools that embrace the
independent study model.

"The positive outlook reflects our expectation there is a
one-in-three chance we could raise the ratings in the one-year
outlook period if the charter schools maintain steady operations
with good maximum annual debt service coverage consistent with
fiscal 2017 levels. If any additional debt is issued to acquire the
Bear Valley campus, we would expect a proportional increase in
financial resources to offset it.

"We could raise the ratings if coverage remains above 1.5x with
expected sustainability in future years, while liquidity, leverage,
and enrollment remain steady at least. While management projects
enrollment increases, the current level of enrollment is supportive
of the debt based on recent years' audited results.

"We could lower the ratings or revise the outlook to stable in
response to a dilution of demand and enrollment, a weakening of
operating performance or coverage, or declines in cash levels.
Changes to the state's funding formula or laws for independent
students could also result in a negative rating action."


CONTURA ENERGY: Moody's Lowers CFR to B3; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the ratings of Contura Energy,
Inc., including the Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to B3 from B2,
probability of default rating (PDR) to B3-PD from B2-PD, and senior
secured rating to Caa1 from B2. The outlook is stable.

The following rating actions were taken:

Downgrades:

Issuer: Contura Energy, Inc.

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

-- Corporate Family Rating, Downgraded to B3 from B2

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Downgraded to Caa1 (LGD4)

    from B2 (LGD4)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Contura Energy, Inc.

-- Outlook, Remains Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating action follows the company's announcement on December
11, 2017 that it has completed a transaction with Blackjewel L.L.C.
to sell the Eagle Butte and Belle Ayr mines located in the Powder
River Basin (PRB) in Wyoming, along with related 600 million tons
of proven and probable reserves and approximately $200 million in
undiscounted reclamation obligations. The two mines shipped 24.5
million tons through the first three quarters of 2017 and will
generate roughly $30 million of EBITDA in 2017. Under the terms of
the transaction, Contura will receive deferred consideration of up
to $50 million through royalty payments.

The downgrade reflects Moody's view that the transaction will
further limit the diversity of the company's business, and increase
its concentration in the volatile metallurgical coal markets. The
ratings continue to reflect Moody's expectation of continued
secular decline of the US thermal coal industry, while
acknowledging the company's position as one of the key producers of
metallurgical coal in the United States and its competitive cost
position in Northern Appalachia.

Moody's views the company's liquidity position as adequate, which
reflects the company's cash balance of over $100 million as of
September 30, 2017 and almost full availability under the $125
million ABL facility. The ABL facility has a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.0x that is only tested when excess availability
falls below certain thresholds. The senior secured term loan does
not have any financial covenants. Moody's expect positive free cash
flows over the next twelve months at current prices. Moody's note,
however, that free cash flows could turn negative at some of the
pricing levels observed over the past two years while the industry
was in distress.

The Caa1 rating on the senior secured term loan reflects its weaker
collateral position relative to the ABL, as well as expected
recovery in the event of bankruptcy.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation of positive free
cash flows and solid contracted position in thermal coal.

The ratings could be upgraded if the rate of secular decline in the
US thermal coal industry were to slow or reverse, and if
metallurgical coal markets were to show more stability and
predictability, allowing the company to consistently generate EBIT
margin above 8%. The ratings could also be upgraded in the event of
material growth in scale and diversity.

The ratings could be downgraded if Debt/ EBITDA, as adjusted, were
to increase above 5x, if free cash flows were to turn negative, or
if liquidity were to deteriorate.

Formed by a group of former first lien lenders of Alpha Natural
Resources, Contura was created to acquire and operate Alpha's core
operations in Northern Appalachia (including the Cumberland mine
complex), all Alpha's operations in the Powder River Basin and
certain assets in Central Appalachia (the Nicholas mine complex in
Nicholas County, West Virginia, and the McClure and Toms Creek mine
complexes in Dickenson and Wise Counties, Virginia). Contura also
purchased Alpha's interest in the Dominion Terminal Associates coal
export terminal in eastern Virginia. For the first three quarters
of 2017, Contura generated $1.6 billion in revenues.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Mining
Industry published in August 2014.

CUNNINGHAM LINDSEY: Moody's Affirms 'B3' CFR Amid Sedgwick Deal
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the B3 corporate family
rating Cunningham Lindsey U.S. Inc. following the announcement that
the company will be acquired by Sedgwick Claims Management
Services, Inc. The companies expect to complete the transaction in
the first half of 2018, pending regulatory approvals. Moody's also
affirmed Cunningham Lindsey's debt ratings. The rating agency
changed the rating outlook for Cunningham Lindsey to stable from
negative reflecting the pending acquisition by a stronger
organization.

Moody's expects that Cunningham Lindsey will use proceeds from the
sale to repay borrowings under its credit facilities, which
currently amount to $626 million. The rating agency expects to
withdraw all of Cunningham Lindsay's ratings once the acquisition
closes and the facilities are fully repaid and terminated.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Cunningham Lindsey's ratings reflect its global presence in loss
adjusting and related services, including complex claims
management, third-party claims administration, forensic
engineering, and restoration and repair consulting. It serves a
broad range of insurance carriers and self-insured entities across
multiple jurisdictions. Sedgwick, the acquirer, is the leading
third-party claims service provider in the US. Moody's views the
pending transaction as a complementary merger with little overlap
of products.

Cunningham Lindsey's debt-to-EBITDA ratio remained above 8.5x for
the 12 months through September 2017 (on a Moody's adjusted basis)
while (EBITDA - capex) interest coverage was in the low single
digits. The company's free cash flow was slightly negative,
reflecting a buildup of working capital to help process claims from
Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. Moody's expects Cunningham
Lindsey to generate improved operating cash flow in the first
quarter of 2018.

Moody's regards the proposed acquisition as credit positive for
Cunningham Lindsey, making it part of a larger, more diversified
group. Cunningham Lindsey's global platform in loss adjusting and
its expertise in large and complex claims will complement
Sedgwick's strong US presence in workers' compensation and
disability claims management.

Factors that could lead to an upgrade of Cunningham Lindsey's
ratings include: (i) debt-to-EBITDA ratio below 6x, (ii) (EBITDA -
capex) coverage of interest exceeding 2x, and (iii)
free-cash-flow-to-debt ratio exceeding 5%.

Factors that could lead to a rating downgrade include: (i)
debt-to-EBITDA ratio remaining above 7.5x for a sustained period,
(ii) (EBITDA - capex) coverage of interest below 1.2x, or (iii)
free-cash-flow-to-debt ratio remaining below 2%.

Moody's has affirmed the following ratings:

Corporate family rating at B3;

Probability of default rating at B3-PD;

$62.5 million (fully drawn) first-lien revolving credit facility
expiring in January 2019 at B2 (LGD3);

$477 million first-lien term loan maturing in December 2019 at B2
(LGD3);

$86 million second-lien term loan maturing in June 2020 at Caa2
(LGD6).

The rating outlook was changed to stable from negative.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Insurance
Brokers and Service Companies published in September 2017.

Based in Tampa, Florida, Cunningham Lindsey is a leading global
provider of insurance loss adjusting, claims management and other
risk management services to insurance and reinsurance companies,
insurance syndicates, self-insured corporations and government
agencies. The company operates through a global network of about
6,000 staff in over 60 global offices. The company generated
revenue of $714 million for the 12 months through September 2017.


DELPHI TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Assigns 'BB' CCR, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' corporate credit rating to
Delphi Technologies PLC. The outlook is stable.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'BB' issue-level
rating and '4' recovery rating to the company's senior unsecured
debt. The '4' recovery rating indicates our expectation that
lenders would receive average recovery (30%-50%; rounded estimate:
40%) in the event of a default.

"Our ratings reflect the cyclicality of the auto industry, Delphi's
capital intensity, and the volatility of its launch cadence, in
addition to the constant pricing pressures from its customers and
competitors and its exposure to potentially volatile commodity
costs. We also take into account the company's low cost base and
its ability to adapt to the changing demand for autos and
commercial vehicles.

"The outlook is stable. We expect that Delphi will continue
generating solid earnings and cash flow, with stable credit
measures in line with our expectations for the rating, due to
growth in sales and content per vehicle, as well as occasional
acquisitions. We expect leverage below 4x and FOCF to total debt of
10% or higher through 2018.

"We could lower the rating if we came to believe that global auto
markets would decline and powertrain would not offset profitability
pressures, or that cash generation would suffer significantly from
lower-than-expected vehicle production, a spike in unrecovered
commodity costs, or a substantial use of cash to fund large
transactions or shareholder-friendly actions. We could also lower
the rating if the company's FOCF to debt drops to less than 10% or
if leverage increases to more than 4x on a sustained basis. For
instance, this could occur if revenue falls by 10% and gross
margins declined below 30% in 2018.

"We could raise the ratings if the company's FOCF to debt moves
above 15% and leverage declines below 3x on a sustained basis as
demonstrated by increasing market share in its key end markets and
ongoing EBITDA margin expansion. For instance, this could occur if
gross margins increase above 34% in 2018. At the same time, we
would need to believe that the company could execute consistently
even during industry downturns and remain committed to balancing
investments, dividends, and acquisitions in line with its current
financial profile."


DEXTERA SURGICAL: Expects Court Approval of Sale in Early 2018
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dextera Surgical Inc., a company developing and commercializing the
MicroCutter 5/80(TM) Stapler, on Dec. 12, 2017, disclosed that it
has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Concurrently, Dextera Surgical entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Aesculap, Inc, an affiliate of B. Braun Group, for
approximately $17.3 million.

"We have conducted an extensive assessment of all strategic options
for our business, and at this time, we believe it is in the best
interest of our shareholders and all stakeholders to proceed with a
sale of our assets," said Julian Nikolchev, president and CEO of
Dextera Surgical Inc.  "The agreement with Aesculap will serve as a
"stalking horse" bid in a court-supervised auction of our assets.
We believe this process will continue our mission of keeping our
innovative surgical stapling platform and cardiac anastomosis
products in the hands of surgeons who understand the promise of our
products and technology."

The voluntary Chapter 11 petition was filed in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.  The sale process
will be conducted pursuant to section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code and is designed to achieve the highest or best offer for
Dextera's assets.  The company will continue to operate during this
bidding process, which is expected to be completed in 45 to 60
days.  The agreement with Aesculap sets the minimum acceptable bid
for the company's assets, and is subject to Bankruptcy Court
approval and certain other conditions.  The proposed bidding
procedures, if approved by the Court, would require interested
parties to submit competitive binding offers to acquire the
company's assets and such parties could include strategic and
financial bidders.  Assuming qualified bids are submitted, an
auction would then be held.  A final sale approval hearing is
anticipated to take place shortly after the auction with the
anticipated closing to occur by early 2018, and Dextera expects
that substantially all of its assets will be sold pursuant to this
process.

Dextera has negotiated with Aesculap for debtor-in-possession (DIP)
financing to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to conduct its
business uninterrupted and continue to meet its operational
financial obligations, including, subject to expected bankruptcy
court approval: the timely payment of future employee wages and
salaries, as well as maintain benefits; continued servicing of
distributors to ensure timely fulfillment of orders and shipments;
and other obligations to surgeons and customers.

Additional information about this process and proposed asset sale,
as well as court filings and other documents related to the
reorganization proceedings, is available through Dextera's claims
agent, Rust/Omni at http://www.omnimgt.com/dexteraor (212)

No. 17-12913) on Dec. 11, 2017.

The Company disclosed $6.53 million in total assets and $14.82

DEXTERA SURGICAL: Files Ch.11 with $17MM Deal to Sell to Aesculap
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dextera Surgical Inc. sought Chapter 11 protection with a deal to
sell substantially all assets as a going concern to Aesculap, Inc.,
for $17.3 million in cash plus the assumption of liabilities,
absent higher and better offers.

Julian Nikolchev, President and CEO, explains Dextera has filed a
Chapter 11 case to preserve and maximize the value of its assets
for the benefit of its creditors and other stakeholders.  Dextera
has executed a stalking horse agreement with Aesculap, subject to
higher or otherwise better bids in a competitive, market-tested
sale and auction process that will be subject to Court approval.
Upon closing, the sale will allow Dextera's business to emerge from
bankruptcy as a viable going concern, which will benefit all of its
creditors and other stakeholders, and will make possible the
continued development and use of Dextera's surgical products.

Dextera is an innovative medical device company that designs and
manufactures proprietary stapling devices that enable the
advancement of minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Dextera generated net revenue of $3.0 million for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2015, $4.1 million for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2016, and $3.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2017.

Dextera currently has 47 full-time employees, two part-time
employees, and one international employee.

As of Sept. 30, 2017, Dextera's financial statements reflected
assets with a book value totaling $6.53 million and liabilities
totaling $14.821 million.

                   Prepetition Capital Structure

On Sept. 2, 2011, Dextera entered into a Secured Note Purchase
Agreement with CMI.  Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement,
Dextera issued to CMI a Secured Promissory Note in the original
principal amount of $4,000,000, with interest accruing at an annual
rate of 5%, payable quarterly in arrears.  Under the terms of the
Note Purchase Agreement, as amended on Sept. 14, 2017, quarterly
principal payments of $125,000, plus accrued interest, are due
under the Note on Dec. 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018,
with the remaining principal balance of $3.5 million due on Sept.
18, 2018.  As of the Petition Date, the outstanding principal was
$3.875 million and accrued interest under the Note was
approximately $33,000.

Dextera is currently authorized to issue two classes of capital
stock, designated as Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.  As
of October 31, 2017, there were 48,206,266 shares of Common Stock
outstanding and 172 Series B Preferred shares outstanding. Each
share of Series B Preferred is convertible into 3,704 common shares
and, if all Series B Preferred shares were converted to Common
Stock, then 637,088 additional shares of Common Stock would be
outstanding.  There are also 1,735,267 stock options and restricted
stock units outstanding with an average exercise price exceeding
$3.00 per share.

Dextera's most recent public offering was completed on May 15,
2017, involving 8,000 shares of convertible Series B Preferred and
related Series 1 and Series 2 Warrants at a price to the public of
$1,000 per share of convertible Series B Preferred for gross
proceeds of $8 million.  Almost all of the 8,000 Series B Preferred
shares were thereafter converted to Common Stock.  There are
29,487,545 Series 1 Warrants outstanding with an expiration date of
May 16, 2022 and 6,667,311 Series 2 Warrants outstanding with an
expiration date of May 16, 2018.  Both Series 1 and Series 2
Warrants have an exercise price of $0.27 per share.

               Events Leading to Chapter 11 Filing

According to Mr. Nikolchev, to preserve going-concern value and
enable the Debtor to execute its business plan, Dextera has been
pursuing potential merger or acquisition partners, or potential
major investors, for approximately one year.

On Dec. 21, 2016, Dextera engaged JMP Securities LLC to solicit
interest from third parties with respect to a possible merger,
consolidation, tender or exchange offer, or sale or exclusive
license of all or a majority of Dextera's assets or outstanding
equity interests.

In early January 2017, JMP initiated a marketing process,
contacting and distributing the "teaser" to 49 potential investors
or purchasers. Four parties that executed non-disclosure agreements
were given additional information and one was provided
access to a confidential data room established by JMP, with various
potentially interested parties conducting interviews with Dextera
management.

As the prepetition marketing process continued, a process letter
was sent to 24 parties, at the time establishing a bid deadline of
March 31, 2017.  The deadline did not result in acceptable
proposals so JMP continued to engage with potential parties during
the rest of the spring and summer of 2017 to explore potential
transactions.

During early October, JMP made further contacts to 13 of the
parties it had previously contacted.  On Oct. 11, 2017, one of
those parties -- Stalking Horse Purchaser -- submitted a term sheet
for an out-of-court acquisition of substantially all of the assets
of Dextera.  After further discussions between Dextera and JMP, on
the one hand, and the Stalking Horse Purchaser on the other hand,
the parties determined that an asset sale in a chapter 11
bankruptcy case was required.  The parties executed a non-binding
term sheet for such an asset sale dated Nov. 9, 2017, and
thereafter negotiated the terms of an asset purchase agreement.
That process was completed just prior to the Petition Date when, on
Dec. 11, 2017, the parties executed an asset purchase agreement.

In the Stalking Horse Agreement, the Stalking Horse Purchaser has
committed to acquire substantially all of the Debtor's assets in a
sale pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
transaction is conditioned upon approval by this Court and is
subject to higher or otherwise better competing offers.

In addition to entering into the Stalking Horse Agreement, the
Debtor entered into that certain Post-Petition Loan and Security
Agreement, between the Debtor, as borrower, and the Stalking Horse
Purchaser or its designee (the "DIP Lender"), as lender (the "DIP
Facility"), pursuant to which, among other things, the DIP Lender
has agreed to loan the Debtor up to $1.5 million in debtor in
possession financing, subject to the Court's approval, to fund the
Debtor's Chapter 11 Case and sale process.

                             Timeline

The timeline and specific dates proposed in the sale motion and the
associated bidding procedures, if approved, will provide the Debtor
sufficient time to expose its business and assets again to
potential overbidders, conduct an auction if any qualified overbids
are presented, and bring before the Court for approval the Sale to
the successful bidder, and will permit the Sale to close consistent
with the liquidity available to the Debtor.  If the timeline
proposed in the Sale Motion is not approved, or if there are
material delays in that timeline, the Debtor will run out of cash,
will be unable to continue operations, and therefore will be unable
to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the Stalking Horse
Agreement or an asset purchase agreement executed by a winning
bidder other than the Stalking Horse Purchaser.

The proposed bidding procedures provide for a Jan. 19, 2018, at
4:00 p.m. deadline for bids and an auction to take place on Jan.
22, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.

DRIVETIME AUTOMOTIVE: S&P Alters Outlook to Neg. on Weak Earnings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it revised its outlook on DriveTime
Automotive Group Inc. to negative from stable. S&P also affirmed
its 'B' issuer credit and 'B' secured debt ratings.

S&P said, "Our negative outlook is driven by the company's
deterioration in financial performance mainly because of growth in
provisions for credit losses. The company reported a net loss of
$23.9 million for the third quarter compared to a net loss of $4.9
million in the year-ago period. The net loss year to date through
the third quarter was $13.9 million compared to net income of $77.7
million in the year-ago period. The main driver of decreased net
income year to date is an increase in provisions for credit losses
to $623.3 million for the first nine months of 2017, compared to
$431.8 million in the year-ago period."

The negative outlook reflects S&P Global Ratings' expectation that
DriveTime may continue to report net losses over the next six to 12
months because of elevated provisions for loan losses and net
charge-offs of 14% to 15% of average finance receivables while
maintaining leverage of 3x to 4x debt to adjusted equity.

S&P said, "We could lower the rating in the next six to 12 months
if DriveTime continues to generate negative generally accepted
accounting principles net income and net charge-offs of over 14% of
average receivables. We could also lower the rating if leverage, as
measured by debt to adjusted total equity, approaches 4.5x within
the next 12 months. We would also consider lowering the rating if
the company triggers covenants in its financing lines that limit
its ability to fund loan originations.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if the company reports
positive net income while maintaining net charge-offs below 14% of
finance receivables."


EASTERN POWER: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Debt Rating, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB-' rating on Eastern Power LLC's
$1.6 billion senior secured first-lien term loan due 2023 and $75
million revolving credit facility due 2021. The outlook is stable.

The '3' recovery rating on the debt remains unchanged, reflecting
S&P's expectation that lenders can expect meaningful (50% to 70%;
rounded estimate: 65%) recovery if a payment default occurs.
Eastern Power LLC is co-issuer with Eastern Covert Midco LLC and is
a joint and several obligor.

The affirmation stems from several factors. During 2017, Eastern
Power executed several amendments to the credit agreement, which
have marginally improved minimum DSCRs. Eastern Power extended the
term loan B maturity to 2023 from 2021 and the revolving credit
maturity to 2021 from 2019. The project also reduced the Term loan
B (TLB) spread to LIBOR plus 375 basis points from LIBOR plus 400
and revised the revolving credit facility quantum downwards to $75
million from $90 million; the latter change is meaningful because
we assume a drawn facility in our coverage calculations.

S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects Eastern Power's reliance on
predictable capacity payments for most of its cash flow over the
next few years, our expectations for sound operational performance,
and debt outstanding on the term loan at refinancing of about $1.24
billion. We expect robust DSCRs near and above 2.5x until
refinancing, when minimum DSCRs drop to 1.13x in our analysis. We
further expect stable operational performance and cash sweeps or
voluntary prepayments that accelerate paydown on the term loan.

"We would likely lower the rating if expected minimum debt service
coverage fell below 1.1x after the refinancing, which could stem
from operational issues that lower availability and increase
maintenance costs, lower-than-expected capacity prices in NYISO
Zone J over the next few years, or higher debt outstanding at
refinancing."

While unlikely at this time, an upgrade would likely require sound
operational performance and significantly lower debt at maturity,
which would require minimum debt service coverage ratios over 1.75x
on a sustained basis, including the refinancing period.


EASTERN STAR: No Excess Funds Available to Pay Unsecured Creditors
------------------------------------------------------------------
Eastern Star Baptist Church files with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Arkansas a Disclosure Statement
relating to its proposed Plan of Reorganization dated November 30,
2017, which the Debtor believes could give its creditors the best
opportunity to receive the greatest dividend, as it allows the
Debtor to continue operating the Church as a going concern.

The Secured Claim of Eagle Bank is classified under Class 1. Eagle
Bank is owed approximately $777,571, as of November 29, 2017. Eagle
Bank has agreed to loan the Debtor an additional construction loan
of $394,000. The terms of the Church's current financing
(promissory note and mortgage) will remain intact, so that the
Debtor satisfies all terms and conditions of the current note and
mortgage requiring a monthly payment of $4,612. The Church has
never missed a payment on the Eagle Bank note, thus, it was current
on the filing date and has remained so post-petition.

The Secured Claim of Green Design & Construction Co., Inc. by
Virtue of Judgment Lien in the amount of $294,067.19 falls under
Class 2. The Plan provides that upon confirmation, Brad Wooley will
be hired as auctioneer to sell several parcels of real properties
with Green receiving the net income after Wooley's standard
advertising costs and 10% buyer's premium. Upon payment of these
funds, Green's lien will be satisfied and extinguished.

There are approximately a dozen Unsecured Claims totaling
$172,980.54 under Class 3.  The projected revenue from the Church
will be adequate to cover operating expenses and debt service to
Eagle Bank. It is not anticipated additional revenue, over and
above that required to pay its overhead expenses and debt service,
will be available to pay other creditors such as Green and the
unsecured creditors. Accordingly, no payments are proposed.

The Plan will be funded by, and the Allowed Claims will be paid by,
the revenues generated by the Debtor.

               About Eastern Star Baptist Church

Eastern Star Baptist Church had its beginnings in November of 1900.
It has 398 members. In 2014 the Church undertook the construction
of a new sanctuary directly across the street from its original
building. The general contractor on the project was Green Design &
Construction Co., Inc.

Unfortunately, for all parties, construction ground to a halt some
time in 2014 with the Church alleging, inter alia, faulty design
and construction, and Green alleging, inter alia, nonpayment.
(Pulaski County Circuit Case No. 60CV-15-5780). The case culminated
in an adverse arbitration award, confirmed by the Circuit Court,
awarding Judgment in favor of Green against the Church for
$294,067.19 on January 20, 2016.

The financial pressures from collection efforts by Green and
demands for completion by the City of North Little Rock, totaling
in excess of $600,000 led to the Church???s decision to file for
Chapter 11.

Based in North Little Rock, Arkansas, Eastern Star Baptist Church
sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr.
E.D. Ark. Case No. 17-10643) on Feb. 3, 2017.  The petition was
signed by Calvert Jackson, trustee and chairman.  

At the time of the filing, the Debtor estimated its assets and
liabilities at $1 million to $10 million.

The case is assigned to Judge Ben T. Barry.  James F. Dowden, Esq.,
at James F. Dowden, P.A., is the Debtor's legal counsel.

No official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the Debtor's case.


EMERALD COAST: Asks Court to Approve Chapter 11 Liquidation Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
Emerald Coast Eateries, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Florida to conditionally approve its
Disclosure Statement and consolidate the hearing on the Disclosure
Statement and any objections to it with the hearing on the
Confirmation of the Plan.

The Debtor anticipates having approximately $3,975 in cash on hand
as of the date of filing of the Plan. These funds will be used to
satisfy any Confirmation Payments, including any Allowed
Administrative Claims, including Allowed Professional Compensation
Claims and United States Trustee fees, to the extent any exist.

The Debtor is proposing a liquidating Plan. Accordingly, there will
be no continuation of the Debtor's business, and the Debtor does
not expect any additional funds will be generated between the
filing of the Plan and Disclosure Statement and the distributions
to be made under the Plan following the Effective Date.

The Plan provides payment in full of all Allowed Administrative
Expense Claims and Allowed Priority Claims upon such other terms as
the Debtor and the holder of these claims will agree. These Claims
are estimated to be approximately $15,000.

Class 1 consists of the Claim of SunSouth Capital, Inc. in the
amount of $19,300. Pursuant to that certain Order granting the
Debtor's Motion to Sell Assets Via Auction, all of the Debtor's
personal property, including the SunSouth Collateral, was sold on
August 26, 2017. The net proceeds from the sale of the SunSouth
Collateral were in the aggregate of $682.50. The Debtor has
tendered the net proceeds to SunSouth in full satisfaction of its
secured claim. The remainder of SunSouth's Claim will be allowed as
a General Unsecured Claim and will be treated with Holders of
Allowed Class 2 Claims. Class 1 is Impaired.

Each Holder of an allowed Class 2 unsecured claim will receive
pro-rata payments from the remaining proceeds of the sale of the
Debtor's assets after the satisfaction of Administrative and
Priority Claims. Class 2 is Impaired.

Class 3 consists of the Allowed Equity Interests of the Debtor.
Since the Debtor is proposing a liquidating plan, all equity
interests will be cancelled upon the Effective Date and no
distribution will be made to Equity Holders.

ESSAR STEEL: Cliffs Completes Acquisition of Itasca Real Estate
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. on Dec. 11, 2017, disclosed that its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Cleveland-Cliffs Minnesota Land
Development LLC, completed an acquisition of certain real estate
interests located in Itasca County west of Nashwauk, Minnesota from
Glacier Park Iron Ore Properties LLC ("GPIOP").  The interests
include a combination of undivided and whole fee interests as well
as mineral and surface leases, all lying within the Biwabik Iron
Formation.  The acreage acquired is approximately 553 acres and the
acreage being leased is approximately 3,215 acres.

Cliffs expects to be able to leverage the acquired real estate
interests to develop a financially sustainable plan for the site,
which may be considered as other iron ore resources deplete.  The
purchased properties include parcels that were formerly leased by
GPIOP to Mesabi Metallics Company LLC ("Mesabi Metallics"),
formerly known as Essar Steel Minnesota.  Mesabi Metallics' lease
rights terminated on October 31, 2017 when it failed to exit
bankruptcy in connection with Chippewa's inability to timely secure
funding and other consents for its plan to take Mesabi Metallics
out of bankruptcy at that time.

Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "We are enthused about the acquisition of this
property, which came into play after Chippewa failed to follow
through on its obligation to obtain financing and a bankruptcy exit
for Mesabi Metallics by October 31.  Despite several botched
attempts by others, it is now the time for Cleveland-Cliffs to sit
at the table with other responsible parties and develop a realistic
solution for this site."
Mr. Goncalves added: "Cleveland-Cliffs has been in Minnesota for
115 years, and we currently employ approximately 1,750 people in
three separate mining and pelletizing operations throughout the
state.  As the new owner of this real estate, we know our
responsibilities and will not disappoint the people of Minnesota."

                     About Cleveland-Cliffs

FISKER AUTOMOTIVE: Suit on Spinoff Stock Sale Not Dismissed
-----------------------------------------------------------
Matt Chiappardi, writing for Bankruptcy Law360, reports that U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross, in a 31-page opinion, held that
Emerald Capital Advisors Corp., as liquidating trustee of Fisker
Automotive Inc., have raised plausible concerns that there might
have been a breach of fiduciary duty in the Company's spinoff stock
sale.  Thus, the judge denied requests to dismiss the trustee's
lawsuit related to the matter.

                 About Fisker Automotive

Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc., developer of the Karma plug-in
hybrid electric sedan, filed a petition for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 13-13087) on Nov. 22, 2013.

Fisker estimated assets of more than $100 million and listed debt
of $500 million in its bankruptcy petition.  The assets include an
assembly plant purchased for $21 million from General Motors Corp.
The plant never operated.  The cars were assembled in Finland.

Fisker received a $529 million loan from the Department of Energy's
Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program and drew
down about $192 million before the department froze the loan after
Fisker failed to hit several development targets.  The company
defaulted on its loan in April 2013.

Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross presides over the case.  

The Debtors have tapped James H.M. Sprayregen, P.C., Esq., Anup
Sathy, P.C., Esq., and Ryan Preston Dahl, Esq., at Kirkland & Ellis
LLP, in Chicago, Illinois, as co-counsel; Laura Davis Jones, Esq.,
James E. O'Neill, Esq., and Peter J. Keane, Esq., at Pachulski
Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, as co-counsel;
Beilinson Advisory Group as restructuring advisors; and Rust
Consulting/Omni Bankruptcy, as notice and claims agent and
administrative advisor.

On Nov. 5, 2013, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors was
appointed. The members are: (a) David M. Cohen; (b) Sven
Etzelsberger; (c) Kuster Automotive Door Systems GmbH; (d) Magna
E-Car USA, LLC; (e) Supercars & More SRL; and (f) TK Holdings Inc.
The Committee is represented by William R. Baldiga, Esq., and
Sunni P. Beville, Esq., at Brown Rudnick LLP; and Mark Minuti,
Esq., at Saul Ewing LLP.  Emerald Capital Advisors Corp. is the
financial advisors for the Committee.

Fisker sought bankruptcy protection to pursue a private sale of its
business to Hybrid Tech Holdings, LLC.  The Committee, however,
wants a sale public sale, and has identified Wanxiang America
Corporation as stalking horse bidder.

Hybrid was initially under contract to buy Fisker in exchange for
$75 million of the $168.5 million government loan it acquired
immediately before the Debtor's Chapter 11 filing.  Hybrid later
raised its offer by adding an additional $1 million cash and
agreeing to share proceeds from the sale of a facility in Delaware
it doesn't intend to operate.  Hybrid also offered to pay real
estate taxes on the Delaware plant.  Hybrid also will waive $90
million in deficiency claims that otherwise would dilute unsecured
creditors' recovery.

Wanxiang, as stalking horse bidder, initially offered $25.8 million
in cash.  However, Wanxiang has said it has raised its offer by $10
million and is willing to go higher.

After the hearings on Jan. 10 and 13, the Court directed a public
auction, and capped Hybrid's credit bid to $25 million.

In response, Hybrid raised its offer to $55 million.

Hybrid is represented by Tobias Keller, Esq., and Peter Benvenutti,
Esq., at Keller & Benvenutti LLP, in San Francisco, California.

Wanxiang, which bought A123 Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of
lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles such as the Fisker
Karma, in a bankruptcy auction early in 2013 for $256.6 million, is
represented in Fisker's case by Sidley Austin LLP's Bojan Guzina,
Esq., and Andrew F. O'Neill, Esq.; and Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor, LLP's Edmon L. Morton, Esq., Robert S. Brady, Esq., and
Kenneth J. Enos, Esq.

On Feb. 19, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of
Fisker's assets to Wanxiang America Corporation.  The sale closed
on March 24, 2014.  The sale to Wanxiang is valued at approximately
$150 million, Fisker said in a news statement.

On March 27, 2014, the Court authorized Fisker Automotive Holdings
to change its name to FAH Liquidating Corp. and its affiliate,
Fisker Automotive Inc., to FA Liquidating Corp., following the
sale.

FA Liquidating Corp. fka Fisker Automotive, Inc., and FAH
Liquidating Corp. fka Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc., notified
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware that their
Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation became effective as
of Aug. 13, 2014.

GALVESTON BAY: DIP Lenders Seek Appointment of Ch. 11 Trustee
-------------------------------------------------------------
Petroleum Investments, LLC, and Grace Oil Investments, LLC, ask the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas to direct
the appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee for Galveston Bay
Properties, LLC, or, alternatively, compelling the Debtor to
appoint a Chief Restructuring Officer.

The Movants assert that the Debtor is plagued by history of
mismanagement and failure to provide proper reporting and
accountability to creditors, which has continued even after the
Movants provided the post-petition DIP financing.

The Movants believes that the Debtor's manager, Dan Polk, has
failed to maintain the proper operations of the Debtor during the
course of this case, resulting in continuing losses to the point
where the Debtor cannot maintain operations based on the revenues
from its operations. The Movants assert that the Debtor has failed
to provide them or its other secured lender the needed (and
required) financial information.

The Movants believe that Mr. Polk is not managing the affairs of
the Debtor in a method designed to maximize the recovery of the
creditors of the Estate, or the Movants, and is not capable of
generating the type of detailed financial information and
production information necessary for the Movants, Shadow Tree
Capital Management, LLC, or other creditors to make informed
decisions in this case.

The Movants claim that the Debtor has not provided a budget to
actual comparisons, comprehensive financial date, or as mentioned,
production information. Additionally, the Debtor has not filed its
Monthly Operating Report reflecting September operations, which was
due on or before October 20, 2017.

The Movants avers that the Debtor is in default of numerous of its
obligations under its agreements with Shadow Tree in relation to
the Adversary Proceeding No. 17-05061, styled Shadow Tree Capital
Management, LLC, et al v. Galveston Bay Properties, LLC et al.

The Debtor is also in default of its obligations to the Movants
under the Loan Agreement for, among other reasons: (a) the Debtor
has been unable to maintain production on all wells on the Redfish
Reef; (b) the Debtor's failure to provide the financial information
required by the Loan Agreement; and (c) the Debtor's failure to
obtain confirmation of a Plan on or before November 3, 2017.

As such, the Movants believe that cause exists to appoint a Trustee
given (a) the history of losses -- both prior to and after the
commencement of this case; (b) the Debtor's failure to obtain full
production under the leases, risking loss of the leases (at least
until, at best, the last two days); (c) the failure to provide
proper financial and production information; and (d) the apparent
efforts by the management of the Debtor to provide overriding
royalty interests to affiliates of the Debtor on a pre-petition
basis.

To the extent that the Court does not believe the appointment of a
Chapter 11 Trustee is warranted at this point, the Movants request
that the Court compel the Debtor to appoint a Chief Restructuring
Officer, who would be charged with:

     (1) preparing and providing appropriate financial information
to Movants and other creditors, and preparing and filing Monthly
Operating Reports;

     (2) assisting the Debtor and counsel with formulating a Plan
of Reorganization and ensuring that proper operations are
maintained in the interim;

     (3) controlling the management of the Debtor and making all
employee-related, operational and management decisions for the
Debtor;

     (4) communicating with Debtor's stakeholders, including
vendors, customers, employees, lenders, court officials, attorneys
and other service providers;

     (5) investigating the Debtor's use of funds pre- and
post-petition;

     (6) performing such other tasks as may be necessary to bring
this case to an conclusion.

GANDER MOUNTAIN: Needs More Time to Solicit Plan Votes
------------------------------------------------------
Gander Mountain Company and Overton's, Inc., asks the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota to extend the
Debtors' exclusivity period, specifically by extending the period
in which the Debtors have the right to obtain acceptances of a plan
of reorganization without any other party filing a plan through
March 31, 2018.

A hearing to consider the Debtors' request will be held on Dec. 21,
2017, at 9:30 a.m.  Any response to the request must be filed by
Dec. 15, 2017.

Currently, the Debtors' exclusivity period will expire if the
Debtors have not obtained acceptances of a plan by Dec. 31, 2017.
The Debtors believe that cause exists to extend that date for
approximately 90 days, through and including March 31, 2018.  The
Debtors believe that cause exists for an extension based on the
size and complexity of these cases, their efforts in moving towards
a consensual resolution of the cases by the pending Plan jointly
proposed with the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and
the status of the cases and the Plan.

The Debtors explain that their cases are large and complex.  Before
the bankruptcy filing date, the Debtors were among the largest
outdoor specialty retailers in the United States, with more than
160 locations in 27 states.  Collectively, the Debtors have
thousands of creditors and hundreds of executory contracts and
leases.  In the months following the commencement of the Debtors'
Chapter 11 cases, the majority of the Debtors' time and effort was
devoted to stabilizing their business operations, completing the
transition to operating as Chapter 11 debtors in possession, and
pursuing a sale process on a relatively fast timeline.  The Debtors
worked diligently with various key parties in interest to achieve
these tasks through various means, including: (a) implementing
various forms of relief granted by the Court shortly after the
Filing Date to allow the Debtors to maintain business as usual to
the fullest extent possible; (b) negotiating for the use of cash
generated by the Debtors' businesses; (c) analyzing various issues
relating to executory contracts and critical vendors; and (d)
undertaking and implementing a process for the sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets.  The Debtors also started
conducting discussions and negotiations regarding the mechanics of
a liquidating plan.

To effectively and accurately develop a liquidating plan, the
Debtors had to complete the asset sale process.  The going out of
business sales continued through the end of August 2017.  After
that, the Debtors started working with the liquidators to reconcile
the amounts owed by the Debtors or the liquidators under the Agency
Agreement.  That reconciliation affects the amount of cash the
Debtors have available for distribution under a plan.  In addition,
purchaser Camping World had the right under its Asset Purchase
Agreement to designate leases for assumption and assignment or
rejection through and including Oct. 6, 2017.  Thus, the number of
stores that would ultimately be assumed and assigned was not
finally known until that time.  That information was needed for the
plan because it affects the estimated size of the general unsecured
creditor pool, which was reduced by the amount of estimated lease
rejection costs for leases that are assumed and assigned.

The Debtors were not able to have an accurate estimate of the
amount available to unsecured creditors and the total amount of
unsecured claims until after the GOB sales were completed and
Camping World made its decisions regarding the leases.

While addressing these and other matters, the Debtors also worked
with the Committee to develop a plan of liquidation.

On Oct. 31, 2017, shortly after the key sale issues were completely
or substantially resolved, the Debtors and Committee filed a joint
plan of liquidation and a disclosure statement in support of the
Plan.  The Plan was filed prior to the expiration of the period
during which the Debtors had the exclusive right to file a plan.

The Debtors filed an amended disclosure statement on Dec. 6, 2017,
and the Court entered an order approving the amended disclosure
statement on Dec. 7.  The voting deadline is set for Jan. 22, 2018,
and the hearing on confirmation of the Plan is scheduled for Jan.
25.  Thus, the solicitation period would extend beyond the Debtors'
current exclusivity period, which requires that the Debtors obtain
acceptances of a plan by Dec. 31.

Given the status of the Plan and the remaining steps in the plan
process, more time is needed for the Debtors to solicit and obtain
acceptances of the Plan.

The Debtors believe that the Plan is the most efficient means to
distribute their remaining assets and provide for an orderly
distribution on account of the obligations owed to their creditors.
As noted, the Plan is co-sponsored by the Committee.

The Debtors assure the Court that they are paying their undisputed
bills as they become due.

Liquidation Plan is available at:

portion of the Debtor's income is earned during the holiday season.
The Debtor anticipates it will have a substantial amount of cash
available to distribute to unsecured creditors following the
holiday season but cannot accurately predict the amount of cash on
hand it will have on hand at this time.  Further, the Debtor has
substantial claims against various predatory lenders it intends to
file shortly.  The resolution of these claims will affect the plan
the Debtor will be proposing in this case.

The Debtor took out an SBA loan through JPMorgan Chase Bank in May
2016, to finance tenant finish out and to purchase inventory for
the Barton Creek location.  The rent at Barton Creek proved to be
too high for the Debtor to operate profitably and the Debtor began
experiencing operating losses.

Desperate for cash and unable to raise money from traditional
sources, the Debtor entered a series of short term, usurious
interest rate loans with various Merchant Cash Advance lenders.
The Debtor was unable to continue to pay the usurious loans and
several predatory lenders entered confession of judgments they
obtained as security for their loans; and started garnishing the
Debtor's bank accounts, leaving the Debtor without cash to fund
operations.

Despite these challenges, the Debtor has made significant progress
towards a successful restructuring.  Among other things, the Debtor
stabilized its business operations and smoothly transition into
Chapter 11, obtained important first day relief, negotiated a
comprehensive adequate protection package for the use of cash
collateral with its secured creditor, filed schedules and
statements of financial affairs, negotiated a new lease agreement
with the Simon Properties, in which the landlord agreed to waive
its lease rejection claim and reduced the rent from approximately
$46,000 per month to approximately $18,000 per month, obtained a
post-petition consignment financing agreement allowing it to pay
off its SBA loan at an accelerated rate and continue to purchase
inventory from its vendors without incurring additional debt.

The Debtor's business is seasonal, and a large portion of its sales
occur between October and January.  It needs time to get through
the holiday season and to continue to work with its stakeholders to
build support for its plan.  The Debtor has demonstrated that it
can obtain consensus in this case and will be in a better position
to propose a plan of reorganization after it has an opportunity to
reduce its inventory and build cash.

Additionally, the Debtor needs time to prosecute litigation against
several predatory lenders on claims including preferential
transfers, fraudulent transfers, fraud, violation of criminal usury
statutes and breach of contract.

In sum, the Debtor has made substantial progress in this case in a
short period of time and is seeking its first and only extension of
exclusivity to allow it to continue working toward a consensual
reorganization plan.

The Debtor says sufficient cause exists to extend the exclusivity
period. The Debtor states that it has demonstrated good faith
progress towards reorganization during the approximately five
months since the case was filed, which warrants an extension of the
and an extension of the exclusivity period to 300 days.  The
Debtor's progress thus far includes:

     a. Obtaining First Day Relief: The Debtor stabilized its
        business operations through various operational first day
        motions and orders.  This allowed it to, among other
        things, pay employees, pay critical vendors, maintain
        insurance programs, and continue using its cash
        management system;

     b. Achieving a Consensual Cash Collateral Order: The Debtor
        successfully secured key stakeholder support for an
        agreed cash collateral order;

     c. Obtaining Post-Petition Consignment Financing: Before a
        contested evidentiary hearing, the Debtor successfully
        obtained post-petition consignment financing that allowed
        it to continue purchasing inventory from vendors critical
        to its business, accelerate payment of its SBA loan, and
        generate additional funds to pay its unsecured creditors
        through the liquidation of its inventory;

     d. Negotiated Substantial Rent Reduction at Barton Creek:
        the Debtor successfully negotiated a substantial
        reduction in the rent paid on its Barton Creek location,
        thereby eliminating further operating losses at that
        location and allowing it to continue operations and
        recover its investment in that store; and

     e. Negotiating with Stakeholder's regarding the Debtor's
        Proposed Restructuring: the Debtor continues to negotiate
        with various parties in interest and attempt to obtain
        support for plan of reorganization.

GLOBAL BROKERAGE: FXCM Group Owner Pursues Prepack Chapter 11 Case
------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Brokerage, Inc. (NASDAQ:GLBR), sought Chapter 11 protection
with a prepackaged reorganization plan that would exchange $172.5
million of convertible senior notes for new notes, and leave other
creditors and stockholders unimpaired.

Global Brokerage disclosed that after receiving votes from
approximately 78.5% of the holders of its 2.25% Convertible Notes
due 2018 -- Current Notes -- unanimously approving its proposed,
prepackaged plan of reorganization, it has filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
New York.  The bankruptcy case is expected to take no longer than
60 days.  All voting creditors voted in favor of the Plan.

As announced on Nov. 10, 2017, Global Brokerage and its affiliate,
Global Brokerage Holdings, LLC, an ad hoc group of holders of more
than 68.5% of the Current Notes, FXCM Group LLC, and Leucadia
National Corporation and LUK-FX Holdings LLC entered into a
restructuring support agreement to restructure the obligations of
Global Brokerage and Global Brokerage Holdings pursuant to the
Plan.
The overall purpose of the Plan is to enable Global Brokerage to
exchange the Current Notes for new notes that have a five-year
extended maturity and to restructure its current operations to
reduce current expenses.

FXCM Group is not involved with the Chapter 11 filing.  FXCM's
customers and customer funds will not be impacted by the RSA and
the Plan.  Similarly, FXCM's banking and trading counterparties,
service providers, and other business relationships will not be
impacted.  FXCM Group, a leading retail FX and CFD broker will
continue to operate normally.

A hearing on the Debtors' first day motions will be held on Dec.
13, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. (ET) before the Honorable Michael E. Wiles,
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York, One Bowling Green, Room 617, New York, NY 10004.

                      The Debtor's Business

The Debtor is a holding company with limited business operations.
Its primary asset is its ownership of limited liability company
membership interests in Global Brokerage Holdings, LLC
("Holdings"), which represent 100% of the outstanding Class A
membership interests in Holdings.  Holdings is also a holding
company with limited business operations.  Holdings' primary asset
is its ownership of limited liability company interests in FXCM
Group, LLC ("FXCM"), which represent 50.1% of the Class A
membership interests in FXCM.  FXCM and its subsidiaries -- the
FXCM Entities -- are operating companies that provide online
foreign exchange (forex) trading, CFD trading, spread betting and
related services.  Neither Holdings, FXCM nor any other FXCM Entity
is or is expected to be a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code nor has
any obligation with respect to the Existing Notes.

The Debtor derives all of its revenue from distributions and
payments made by Holdings to it.  Holdings derives all of its
revenue from distributions and payments made by FXCM to Holdings.
FXCM is an operating company whose revenues are used to pay
expenses incurred in its operations, to maintain required
regulatory reserves, to maintain margin deposits with liquidity
providers, to pay debt service and for other corporate purposes of
FXCM.

Excess revenues are available for distribution to members of FXCM,
including Holdings, in accordance with the provisions of the FXCM
Agreement.  Holdings has no source of revenues other than from
distributions and payments made by FXCM to it, and in turn, the
Debtor has no source of revenue other than from distributions and
payments made by Holdings to the Debtor.  Prior to January 2015,
the business and operations of FXCM were conducted by Holdings.  On
Jan. 15, 2015, the customers of Holdings and the FXCM Entities who
were subsidiaries of Holdings suffered significant losses and
generated negative equity balances -- debit balances -- owed to it
of approximately $275.1 million.   This was due to the
unprecedented volatility in the EUR/CHF currency pair after the
Swiss National Bank ("SNB"), without any advance notice to the
marketplace, discontinued its currency floor of 1.2 CHF per EUR on
that date.  These debit balances resulted in a temporary breach of
certain regulatory capital requirements and subjected operations to
being immediately shut down.

On Jan. 16, 2015, to address the deficit capital requirements,
Holdings formed FXCM and contributed all of the equity interests
owned by Holdings in its operating subsidiaries to FXCM.  Holdings
and FXCM then entered into the Leucadia Credit Agreement, with
Leucadia National Corporation, as administrative agent, and certain
lenders thereto, pursuant to which Leucadia National Corporation --
together with LUK-FX Holdings, LLC, "Leucadia" -- provided a $300
million, two-year term loan to Holdings and FXCM.  The financing
provided to FXCM and Holdings by Leucadia enabled FXCM to maintain
compliance with regulatory capital requirements and continue
operations.

On Sept. 1, 2016, FXCM, Holdings and Leucadia agreed to amend the
terms of the Leucadia Credit Agreement to, among other things,
extend the maturity to January 2018, and FXCM, LUK-FX Holdings, and
Holdings entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability
Company Agreement of FXCM.  Pursuant to the FXCM Agreement, LUK-FX
Holdings, LLC, became an owner of 49.9% of the Class A Units of
FXCM, with Holdings owning the remaining 50.1% of the Class A
Units.  The FXCM Agreement restricts (with certain exceptions)
distributions on account of FXCM's equity interests until the
Leucadia Credit Agreement is repaid in full.  The FXCM Agreement
further specifies how certain distributions from FXCM are to be
allocated between LUK-FX Holdings, LLC and Holdings, after the
Leucadia Credit Agreement is repaid.

             Circumstances Leading to Chapter 11 Case

GLBR is the issuer of certain notes, the terms of which are: $172.5
million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Convertible Senior
Notes Due in 2018 and governed by an Indenture, dated as of June 3,
2013 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to
time), by and among GLBR, as issuer, and Bank of New York Mellon,
as indenture trustee.  The Existing Notes pay interest
semi-annually on June 15 and Dec. 15 at a rate of 2.25% per year.
The indenture governing the Existing Notes does not prohibit GLBR
from incurring additional senior debt or secured debt, nor does it
prohibit any of GLBR's subsidiaries from incurring additional
liabilities.

Until Nov. 15, 2017, GLBR's Class A Common Stock was traded on the
NASDAQ Global Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "GLBR."  On May 2,
2017, NASDAQ notified GLBR that, for the prior 30 consecutive
business days, the market value of GLBR's publicly held shares was
less than $15.0 million, and as a result, GLBR did not meet the
requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ's listing rules.
NASDAQ further notified GLBR that the market value of GLBR's Class
A Common Stock must exceed $15.0 million for 10 consecutive
business days between May 2, 2017 and Oct. 30, 2017 to avoid such
stock being delisted by NASDAQ.

The market value of GLBR's Class A Common Stock did not exceed
$15.0 million for 10 consecutive business days between May 2, 2017
and Oct. 30, 2017.

Thus, on November 6, 2017, NASDAQ provided written notice to GLBR
that its Class A Common Stock would be delisted from the NASDAQ
Global Market effective Nov. 15, 2017.  The failure of GLBR to
remain listed on NASDAQ Global Market is a "Fundamental Change,"
under the Existing Notes Indenture, which results in each holder of
the Existing Notes having the right, following a notice period of
up to 55 days, at that holder's option, to require GLBR to purchase
for cash all of such holder's Existing Notes at a purchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest. GLBR does not have sufficient funds to repurchase
the Existing Notes should one or more of the holders require
repurchase.  The failure to satisfy the repurchase obligations
constitutes an event of default under the Existing Notes
Indenture.

GLBR is also obligated to make a scheduled interest payment to
holders of the Existing Notes on December 15, 2017, subject to a
30-day grace period.  GLBR does not have and does not anticipate
having sufficient liquidity to make the Dec. 15, 2017 interest
payment.  Absent a waiver or forbearance from the holders of the
Existing Notes, the failure by GLBR to make this interest payment
could result in the acceleration of the maturity of the Existing
Notes.  GLBR does not currently have sufficient liquidity, nor does
it anticipate having sufficient liquidity on or before Jan. 14,
2018, to repay the Existing Notes in full if the holders of the
Existing Notes elected to accelerate the maturity of the Existing
Notes.

Moreover, the Existing Notes mature by their own terms in June
2018.

GLBR does not have sufficient funds and does not anticipate having
sufficient funds to repay the Existing Notes at maturity.  GLBR
does not believe that it will be able to refinance the Existing
Notes prior to maturity, other than on the terms set forth in the
Plan.

In light of the notice of delisting by NASDAQ, the impending Dec.
15, 2017 interest payment and the impending June 2018 maturity of
the Existing Notes, GLBR engaged Holdings, FXCM and their key
constituencies, including an ad hoc group of holders of Existing
Notes -- Consenting Noteholders -- and Leucadia in extensive
arm's-length negotiations regarding a potential restructuring of
GLBR's obligations under the Existing Notes. Those negotiations
resulted in an agreement and on November 10 the Debtor executed the
RSA with Holdings, FXCM, the Consenting Noteholders, and Leucadia
-- Plan Support Parties -- pursuant to which the Consenting
Noteholders agreed to vote in favor of and support confirmation of
the Plan.

The Debtor's solicitation for votes to accept or reject its Plan
was completed on Dec. 4, 2017, prior to the commencement of the
Chapter 11 Case.  Holders of more than 78.5% in dollar amount of
the Existing Notes claims voted to accept the Plan, and no holder
voted to reject the Plan.

Pursuant to the RSA and the Plan, GLBR will exchange the Existing
Notes for New Notes with an extended maturity of approximately five
years, which New Notes are secured by the assets of GLBR and
Holdings, have a 7% interest rate, and provide holders with
additional governance rights at Holdings.  The maturity of the
Leucadia Credit Agreement will also be extended for one year. These
modifications will enhance the likelihood of distributions being
made from FXCM to Holdings and Holdings to GLBR to permit GLBR to
pay its obligations.  The terms of the FXCM Agreement and the
Leucadia Credit Agreement will be amended to permit FXCM to make
certain distributions to Holdings, thus enabling Holdings to make
distributions to GLBR, including for certain interest payments on
the New Notes.

All of the Debtor's other creditors are unimpaired under the Plan
and their claims will be satisfied in full in the ordinary course
of business.  Shareholders will retain their equity under the Plan.
Accordingly, the Debtor believes the Plan maximizes the value of
the business and maintains GLBR's business for the benefit of all
stakeholders through this prepackaged Chapter 11 Case.

The Plan seeks consensual releases for the benefit of certain
non-debtor parties including the Debtor's officers and directors,
Holdings, FXCM, Leucadia and the Consenting Noteholders. The
third-party releases are a fundamental and necessary part of the
bargained-for exchange by the Plan Support Parties to obtain, among
other things, the concessions made by Leucadia, FXCM, Holdings and
the Consenting Noteholders in the RSA and the Transaction
Documents, including the Plan and the New Notes.  The only holders
of classified claims or interest who are granting releases are
Class 3 claimants (holders of Existing Notes) who voted in favor of
the Plan.  Both the Plan and the ballots fully disclosed the
release in bold type.  Creditors and Interest Holders who are
deemed to be unimpaired under the Plan are not granting releases.
Class 3 claimants who voted to reject the Plan or alternatively,
who did not vote on the Plan, are not granting releases.  The
releases were narrowly tailored, fully disclosed and consensual.

                        Proposed Timeline

The Debtor believes that, in order to preserve the value of the
estate, this Chapter 11 Case must proceed in an expeditious manner.
The Debtor's stakeholders have supported the Debtor's business
leading up to the bankruptcy filing in anticipation of a prompt
restructuring that does not impact the Debtor's business.  To
ensure that result, the Debtor negotiated a favorable transaction
with the parties to the RSA.  In exchange for that consideration,
the parties to the RSA have insisted that chapter 11 costs be
minimized and that the restructuring be effectuated promptly to
avoid delay and loss of value.

The terms of the RSA reflect that belief and include milestones for
confirmation and consummation of the Plan:

   * Plan Supplement Deadline: January 5, 2018
   * Objection Deadline: January 10, 2018
   * Reply Deadline: January 15, 2018
   * Combined Hearing: January 17, 2018

GO WIRELESS: Moody's Assigns B1 CFR & Rates $400MM 1st Lien Loan B1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned first-time ratings to Go
Wireless Holdings, Inc., including a B1 Corporate Family Rating and
a B1-PD Probability of Default Rating. Moody's also assigned a B1
rating to the company's proposed $400 million first lien secured
Term Loan facility. The rating outlook is stable. The ratings
assigned are based on the terms and conditions provided to Moody's
and are subject to final documentation. Proceeds from the proposed
$400 million first lien secured term loan, along with cash on hand
will be used to refinance approximately $173 million of the
company's existing debt, pay a shareholder distribution, pay
transactions fees and expenses and to support future growth. The
company is also entering into a $50 million asset based revolving
credit facility (unrated).

Assignments:

Issuer: Go Wireless Holdings, Inc.

-- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B1-PD

-- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B1

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned B1 (LGD3)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Go Wireless Holdings, Inc.

-- Outlook, Assigned Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B1 Corporate Family rating reflects Go Wireless' solid
competitive position as a leading independent retailer of Verizon
wireless products, as well as a provider of services and
accessories for mobile electronic devices. The rating also
recognizes Go Wireless' very good liquidity and credit metrics,
which pro forma for the contemplated refinancing result in leverage
as measured by debt/EBITDA of around 4.8x and interest coverage as
measured by EBIT/interest of around 1.4x for fiscal year 2017. As
Go Wireless begins to expand EBITDA through the integration of
acquisitions and other growth initiatives, and reduces debt using
excess free cash flow, Moody's expects leverage and coverage will
improve to around 4.0x and 1.8x respectively in the next 12-18
months. The rating also recognizes the company's favorable
qualitative profile that benefits from the non-discretionary nature
of cell phones and the overall strength of the wireless sector, as
well as its diverse sources of revenue, including proprietary
insurance and warranty offerings and private label accessories. The
rating also considers Go Wireless' mutually beneficial
relationships with Verizon and cellphone manufacturers, which is a
competitive advantage over smaller operators.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that credit metrics
will modestly improve in the next 12-18 months and financial policy
will be benign.

An upgrade would require the company to maintain conservative
financial policies, particularly with shareholder returns and
acquisitions. Quantitatively ratings could be upgraded if
debt/EBITDA was maintained below 4.0x and EBIT/interest sustained
above 2.0x. Ratings could be downgraded if either a more aggressive
financial policy or weakened operating performance resulted in
debt/EBITDA increasing to over 5.0x or EBIT/interest falling below
1.50x, or if liquidity weakens.


GO WIRELESS: S&P Assigns 'B' Corp Credit Rating, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B' corporate credit rating to Las
Vegas-based Verizon authorized retailer Go Wireless Holdings Inc.
The outlook is stable.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'B' issue-level rating
and '3' recovery rating to Go Wireless' proposed $400 million
first-lien term loan due 2024. The '3' recovery rating indicates
our expectation for meaningful (50%-70%, rounded estimate: 60%)
recovery in the event of a payment default. The company's capital
structure will also include a $50 million asset-based lending (ABL)
revolver facility due 2022, which we do not rate."

The ratings on Go Wireless reflect its decent market position as
Verizon's third-largest independent retailer based on store count
and somewhat non-discretionary nature of demand for mobile phones.
These factors are offset by the company's complete dependence on
Verizon as the sole broadband provider that narrows its service
offerings, susceptibility of revenues and cash flows to product
cycles, potential changes to commissions received from Verizon, and
execution risks associated with the company's aggressive growth
strategy. Over the next 12 months, S&P expects adjusted debt to
EBITDA to approach 5.0x, mainly on EBITDA contributions from
acquisitions.

S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that
adjusted debt to EBITDA will approach 5.0x and fixed-charge
coverage of just below 2.0x over the next 12 months given our
expectation for EBITDA base expansion upon store acquisitions and
modest improvement in margins, partially offset by potential
increase in debt to finance some of these acquisitions.

"We could lower the rating if we expect adjusted debt to EBITDA to
be sustained above 6.0x and fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.5x or
less. Potential scenarios include the company's inability to
effectively execute on its growth strategy and expand its EBITDA
base or deterioration of operating performance, possibly because of
unfavorable commission arrangements or heightened competition.

"We could raise the rating if we expect the company to sustain
adjusted debt to EBITDA of less than 4.5x and fixed-charge coverage
ratio of 2.2x or better. This could be the case if the company is
able to materially grow its EBITDA base while modestly improving
its margins on meaningful traction in its operating initiatives."


GOOD FIGHT: Whitney Bank's Monthly Payment Raised to $331.25
------------------------------------------------------------
Good Fight of Faith Assembly, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of Louisiana a modified plan of
reorganization dated August 2, 2017.

The plan modifies the treatment Whitney Bank's Class 1 secured
claim.

Whitney Bank will now have a secured claim in the amount of
$28,529.21 (as of Oct. 18, 2017) to be paid with interest at the
rate of 7% in 59 monthly installments of $331.25 each followed by
one final payment of $17,059.88 (or such amount as may be necessary
to pay the claim in full on that date).

The bank's previous secured claim was in the amount of 27,586.85 to
be paid with interest at the rate of 7% in 59 monthly installments
of $320.31 each followed by one final payment of $16,270.49.

The bank will retain its lien until payment of the secured claim in
full as set forth in this plan.

INDUSTRIE SERVICE: Plan Payments Funded by Continued Operations
---------------------------------------------------------------
Industrie Service, LLC, files with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of South Carolina a Disclosure Statement that outlines
its reorganization plan.

Class 5, is a convenience-type of class that includes the Debtor's
general unsecured Trade Vendors with whom it does business as a
part of its normal operations and amounts due are less than
$11,000. Members of Class 5 will receive no less than 10% of their
asserted claim. As a convenience-type class of creditors, Class 5
will receive distributions within 30 days of the Effective Date of
Debtor's Plan.

Many of the members of Class 6 unsecured creditors are the holders
of claims that were classified on the Debtor's Scheduled as
"Disputed Claims." Allowed Claims held by members of Class 6 will
receive no less than 10% of their claims. For the initial
twenty-four months following the Effective Date, Class 6 will
receive distributions in the amount of $3,112.44, which will be
paid pro rata to the holders of Allowed Claims of Class 6
creditors.

For the next twenty-seven months, Class 6 will receive
distributions in the amount of $1,736.73, which will be paid pro
rata to the holders of Allowed Claims of Class 6 creditors. During
the final nine months of the Plan, Class 6 will receive
distributions in the amount of $7,239.57, which will be paid pro
rata to the holders of Allowed Claims of Class 6 creditors.

Class 7 contains only the claims against the Debtor held by
Pridestaff, Inc. -- a party to the VW Litigation has filed a lien
against the VGA Plant in the approximate amount of $250,000.
Pridestaff's claim was scheduled by the Debtor in the amount of
$446,468.95 based upon work that Pridestaff performed on the VGA
Plant as a subcontractor of the Debtor. In lieu of cash payment,
Pridestaff will be assigned the Debtor's rights to any recovery in
the VW Litigation. Any proceeds from the VW Litigation in excess of
Pridestaff's allowed claim will be paid pro rata to creditors in
Class 6 and Class 8.

The unsecured claim of MOS Service, LLC has been placed in Class 8.
This claim arise on account of the default judgment it obtained
against the Debtor on October 8, 2013 in the action styled as MOS
Service, LLC v. Industrie Service, LLC, C/A No. 2013-CP-23-04032 in
the Court of Common Please for Greenville County, South Carolina.
MOS has filed POC 7 in the amount of $483,118.60. While MOS has
obtained a judgment against the Debtor, it remains unsecured as the
Debtor does not own any real property. MOS will receive a
distribution of no less than 10% of its allowed claim. Class 8 will
receive monthly distributions in the amount of $805.20 for the
sixty month term of the Plan.

The Debtor intends to continue its normal operations in the
ordinary course post-petition. Based upon the cost reductions and
employee wage structure instituted by the Debtor post-petition, the
Debtor anticipates that it will have no less than $25,000 per month
of disposable income which it will commit to funding minimum
payments pursuant to Debtor's Plan. Upon the occurrence that the
Debtor has built cash reserves in excess of $200,000, the Debtor
intends to provide such additional funds beyond the reserve as
payment to the IRS pursuant to the terms of Class 1.

                   About Industrie Service LLC

Industrie Service, LLC, is a service establishment equipment
company maintaining an office located at 230 Brookshire Road,
Greer, South Carolina. The Debtor began operations in 1998 as an
American subsidiary of a German parent Industrie Service, GmbH. The
Debtor was formed to do business in Greenville, South Carolina area
to perform supporting projects in connection with the BMW plant
located there.

The Debtor became a registered E-2 Treaty Investor with the US
Department of State in Frankfurt, Germany which allowed the Debtor
to obtain visas for employees to enter the United States.

In 2009, the Debtor received major contracts to perform work on the
then newest German automotive plant in the southeast, i.e., the
Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2009 ("VW Plant
Project"). Two of the prime contractors for the VW Plant,
Stotzfredenhagen Industries, Inc. and Moll Systems US, Inc. awarded
sub-contracts to the Debtor to provide the structural steel on two
assembly lines for the VW Plant. The VW Plant Project was a
troubled affair for all involved. The completion of the physical
shell was delayed by months, resulting in Volkswagen Group of
America, Inc. ordering acceleration of the later phases of
construction and line installation.

In January 2011, Debtor filed suit against Stotz in the Chancery
Court of Tennessee for the Eleventh Judicial District at
Chattanooga, which case is captioned as Industrie Service, LLC v.
Stotzfredenhagen Industries, Inc., et al., case No. 11-0052, ("VW
Litigation"). The VW Litigation remains pending, but has been
stayed and put on an administrative hold by the Tennessee Chancery
Court as a result of the bankruptcy filings by Stotz and the
Debtor.

Fabrication & Mechanical Service, LLC ("FMS") was formed as a South
Carolina limited liability company on April 10, 2014.  Clarissa
Blum is the sole owner of FMS. Following the break from Industrie
Service, GmbH, EquipMax Finance, LLC ("EMF") was formed to lease
necessary equipment and real property for operations to the Debtor
for use in providing service to FMS. EMF is owned by Florian Gleibs
who is employed in the administration of the Debtor.

During the period from 2011 through 2016, the Debtor operated on
loans from the Clarissa Blum, Hansjuergen Blum, Binder & Blum,
EquipMax Finance, and FMS in excess of $4 million dollars in order
to maintain essential operations.

The Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. D.S.C. Case No. 17-02995) on June 16, 2017.
Hansjuergen Blum, chief director officer and owner, signed the
petition. At the time of the filing, the Debtor disclosed $1.58
million in assets and $9.2 million in liabilities.

Judge Helen E. Burris presides over the case. McCarthy, Reynolds &
Penn LLC is the Debtor's legal counsel.

An official committee of unsecured creditors has not yet been
appointed in the Chapter 11 case of Industrie Service, LLC, as of
July 13, according to a court docket.

On June 16, 2017, the Debtor filed an Adversary Complaint against
the United States of
America requesting injunctive relief, such that the IRS would no
longer be able to levy upon the accounts of FMS. The adversary
proceeding was styled as Industrie Service, LLC v. United States of
America, Adv. Pro. No. 17-80059-hb.


INSTITUTE OF CARDIOVASCULAR: Feb. 12 Disclosure Statement Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Jerry A. Funk of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Florida will convene a hearing on Feb. 12, 2018 at
11:30 a.m. to consider and rule on Institute of Cardiovascular
Excellence, PLLC and ICE Holdings, PLLC's disclosure statement to
accompany their proposed plan of reorganization.

Any objection to the proposed disclosure statement must be filed
and served seven days before the hearing.

      About Institute of Cardiovascular Excellence

Institute of Cardiovascular Excellence, PLLC, based in Ocala,
Florida, filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No.
16-01491) on April 20, 2016.  The petition was signed by Asad
Qamar, manager.  Judge Jerry A. Funk presides over the case.  The
Debtor estimated $0 to $50,000 in assets and $10 million to $50
million in liabilities at the time of the filing.

The Debtor is represented by Aaron A Wernick, Esq., at Furr &
Cohen, PA.  The Debtor employed Jameson Vicars of Jameson Vicars &
Co., CPAS, as accountant; Tracy Mabry Law, PA., as special counsel;
and Ackerman, LLP, as special transactional counsel.

No official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in
the case.


IRASEL SAND: Deadline to Confirm Plan Moved to Feb. 5
-----------------------------------------------------
Judge Ronald B. King of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Texas, at the behest of Irasel Sand, LLC, has extended
the Debtor's exclusivity period for filing a Chapter 11 plan from
October 17, 2017 to December 5, 2017 and the exclusivity period to
obtain confirmation of the plan to February 5, 2018.

The Troubled Company Reporter has previously reported that the
Debtor asked the Court to extend the exclusivity periods for the
Debtor to file a plan of reorganization to Jan. 8, 2018, and to
obtain confirmation of the plan to April 9, 2018.

The Debtor's bankruptcy was essentially filed as an involuntary
Chapter 11 to allow the Debtor to protect a valuable sublease of
real property in Millet, Texas, where it operates a frac sand
plant.  The bankruptcy filing has been contested since the start by
Carousel Specialty Products, Inc., and Select Sands.

Although the bankruptcy was filed on June 19, 2017, a Court order
for relief was not entered until Aug. 3, 2017.  However, the Court
order provided that all deadlines ran from June 19, 2017, instead
of Aug. 3.  The Debtor did not even know that its bankruptcy would
continue until Aug. 3.  It has effectively only been operating for
two months.

The Debtor told the Court that it is now currently operating its
Plant and based on a recent Court order, the Debtor is no longer
burdened with Carousel's Marketing Agreement. However, this has
only started in September.

The Debtor needed to maintain exclusivity because either Select
Sands and Carousel will seek to present a plan which will most
likely result in liquidation.

                      About Irasel Sand LLC

Based in Dilley, Texas, Irasel Sand, LLC, is a company that was
organized in 2014 as a joint venture between Irabel, Inc., and
Select Sand LLC.  The Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. W.D. Tex. Case No. 17-51420) on June
19, 2017.  Louis R. Butler, CEO of managing member, signed the
petition.

At the time of the filing, the Debtor disclosed that it had
estimated assets and liabilities of $1 million to $10 million.

Dean William Greer, Esq., at the Law Offices of Dean W. Greer serve
as the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.

Judge Ronald B. King presides over the case.

The Debtor previously filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. S.D. Tex.
Case No. 17-31148) on Feb. 27, 2017.


IRON MOUNTAIN: Moody's Affirms Ba3 CFR & Alters Outlook to Negative
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Iron Mountain Incorporated's Ba3
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) and Ba3-PD Probability of Default
Rating and changed the rating outlook to negative from stable.
Moody's also affirmed the Ba3 and B2 ratings for Iron Mountain's
existing senior and senior subordinated debt, respectively, and
assigned a Ba3 rating to the new senior notes being issued at Iron
Mountain Incorporated. The rating action was prompted by the
company's plans to acquire IO Data Centers, LLC ("IO") for
approximately $1.3 billion which will be financed with proceeds
from $825 million of new senior notes and an equity issuance.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The acquisition of IO will expand the footprint of Iron Mountain's
data center services and increase its share of revenues from the
high-growth and high-margin colocation services to about 5%.
However, Iron Mountain's total debt to EBITDA (Moody's adjusted)
will increase by about 0.2x to 5.9x and capital spending will
increase significantly as the company is expected to expand data
center capacity to benefit from the growth opportunity. Moody's
analyst Raj Joshi said, "The incremental leverage resulting from
the IO acquisition, coupled with Iron Mountain's growing debt
levels to fund capital requirements and acquisitions over the last
twelve months have pushed its leverage toward 6x." He added, "The
increase in leverage has diverged from Moody's expectation for a
steady decline in leverage following the Recall acquisition in May
2016." The change in the outlook reflects Iron Mountain's elevated
leverage which Moody's expects to decline slowly but likely remain
near the mid 5x in 2019.

Iron Mountain's CFR is weakly positioned in the Ba3 category and
reflects its elevated leverage and persistent free cash flow
deficits that Moody's expects to continue through 2020. While
management remains committed to reducing leverage to 5x on its
lease-adjusted basis by 2020, the company's large funding
shortfalls to support dividends, capital requirements and
acquisitions will challenge management to balance the sources of
funding between debt and equity. The Ba3 CFR is supported by Iron
Mountain's leading market position in the North America storage and
information management market, large base of recurring storage
rental revenues and its enhanced geographical footprint and scale
after the acquisition of Recall. Iron Mountain's strong brand and
market share in North America provide it with the pricing power
that supports its strong EBITDA margins. The synergies from the
acquisition of Recall and a good demand and pricing environment are
driving strong EBITDA growth. At the same time, the company faces
long-term risks from the mature demand for its storage and data
management services in developed markets in North America and
Western Europe.

Iron Mountain's SGL-3 liquidity rating reflects its adequate
liquidity supported by the availability of approximately $600
million under its revolving credit facility, approximately $338
million of cash at September 30, 2017, and a manageable debt
maturity profile.

Moody's could downgrade Iron Mountain's ratings if total debt to
EBITDA (Moody's adjusted) does not decline and is expected to
remain above the mid 5x or liquidity weakens materially. Given the
high leverage and a negative outlook a rating upgrade is not
expected in the near term. Moody's could upgrade Iron Mountain
ratings if the company establishes a track record of deleveraging,
it uses a meaningful amount of equity to fund its annual cash
deficits and maintains good EBITDA growth. The rating could be
upgraded if Iron Mountain could sustain total debt to EBITDA
(Moody's adjusted) below 4.5x (Moody's adjusted) and retained cash
flow to net debt approaches 10%.

Iron Mountain is a global provider of information storage and
related services with $3.8 billion in revenues in the twelve months
ended September 30, 2017.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in October 2016.


IRON MOUNTAIN: S&P Affirms 'BB-' CCR on IO Data Center Acquisition
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its ratings on Boston, Mass.-based
global storage and information management services company Iron
Mountain Inc., including the 'BB-' corporate credit rating. The
rating outlook is stable.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'BB-' issue-level
rating and '3' recovery rating to the company's proposed $825
million senior unsecured notes. The '3' recovery rating indicates
our expectation for meaningful recovery (50%-70%; rounded estimate:
50%) of principal for debtholders in the event of a payment
default."

On Dec. 11, 2017, Iron Mountain announced its acquisition of IO
Data Centers (not rated) for $1.315 billion (not including up to
$60 million in potential earn-outs), which it plans to fund with
$825 million senior unsecured notes and $540 million of common
equity. The acquisition reflects a high 19x EBITDA multiple on
estimated 2017 EBITDA. S&P expects this would result in its
estimated pro forma 2017 leverage increasing by 0.25x to almost 6x,
despite the meaningful equity funding component.

S&P said, "The stable rating outlook reflects our expectation that
Iron Mountain's leverage will decline to 5.5x by year-end 2018 and
to the low-5x area in subsequent years as the company continues to
invest in its business, with revenues increasing at a mid-single
digit percentage rate and adjusted EBITDA margins improving to the
low-40% area in 2018.

"We could lower the corporate credit rating if Iron Mountain's
leverage exceeds 5.5x as of year-end 2018 or if we expect it would
remain in the mid-5x area on a sustained basis. This could occur if
the company experiences operating challenges integrating its
acquisitions, if it increases its dividend payouts, or if it
pursues debt-financed acquisitions.

"We view an upgrade as unlikely, given the company's status as a
REIT, which reduces its financial flexibility. An upgrade would
also depend on the company maintaining a less aggressive financial
policy such that its lease-adjusted leverage remains at or below
4x. Such leverage reduction will likely entail the company issuing
equity to repay debt or fund acquisitions."

JOHN ADAMS ACADEMIES: S&P Lowers 2014/2015 Bonds Rating to BB+
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings has lowered its rating on California Municipal
Finance Authority's series 2014A, 2015A, and 2015B charter revenue
bonds issued for John Adams Academies Inc. (JAA) to 'BB+' from
'BBB-'. The outlook is negative.

"The downgrade reflects the application of our U.S. Not-for-Profit
Charter School methodology, and our view of JAA's increased
expansion risk due to what we consider aggressive growth plans,"
said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Robert Tu. Management had
previously communicated plans to open a second academy,
JAA-Lincoln, in the fall 2017. S&P said, "Since our most recent
review in October 2016, we learned the school also opened a third
academy, JAA-El Dorado Hills. We believe the additional campuses
present operational risk with an already realized decline in
maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage due to the additional
lease expenses related to the two new campuses, still-modest
liquidity, and some potential concerns from JAA-Roseville's
authorizer about additional debt plans. This leads us to believe
that the academy has greater flexibility at the 'BB+' rating to
navigate its expansion plans."

The rating reflects S&P's opinion of the following credit risks:

-- Expansion risk, given the academy's opening of two new campuses
in the 2017-2018 school year;

-- Declining MADS coverage, after including the additional lease
expenses related to the new campuses, and expectation of further
stress;

-- Moderately high debt burden, which could increase;

-- Low liquidity for the rating, at 67 days' cash on hand as of
June 30, 2017;

-- Concern from JAA-Roseville's authorizer, Loomis Union School
District regarding the school's overall debt capacity; and

-- The inherent uncertainty associated with charter renewals,
given that the bonds' final maturity exceeds the existing charter's
time horizons.

S&P believes the following factors offset these credit weaknesses:

-- Solid enrollment growth, with a growing waiting list and good
retention rates;

-- Sufficient academic performance, with scores comparable with
those of the state overall, but slightly below those of the local
school district;

-- A history of consistently positive operating performance, even
through a period of growth; and A capable and experienced
management team that has successfully navigated the school through
a recent expansion.

JAA is a kindergarten through 12th grade public charter school,
with 1,808 students enrolled for fall 2017. The academy began
operations in fall 2011, initially as a kindergarten through
10th-grade school. The school is in Roseville, Calif., within the
Sacramento metropolitan area. The academy provides students with a
classical education.

S&P said, "The negative outlook reflects our view that JAA may
issue additional debt over the one-year outlook period that could
further adversely affect the school's MADS coverage and debt burden
metrics. We have not incorporated the impact of additional debt
because the plans are not final, although we will evaluate them
once they are more fully developed.

"We could take a negative rating action if the additional debt
materially weakens financial metrics such that MADS coverage and
debt burden is constrained.

"We could revise the outlook to stable if the academy can manage
both expansions such that the school's operating margins,
lease-adjusted MADS coverage, and liquidity stay at current
levels."

KANSAS INTERNAL: Proposes an Auction of Excess Personal Property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kansas City Internal Medicine, P.A., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Kansas to authorize the auction sale of excess
personal property.

The Debtor has excess personal property at the offices located at
(i) 5401 College Blvd, Overland Park, Kansas; (ii) 501 NW Murray
Road, Lee's Summit, Missouri; (iii) Carondelet Drive, Kansas City,
Missouri; and (iv) 1310 E. 104th St, Kansas City, Missouri that was
not part of the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into with Statland
Medical Group and approved by the Court's Order dated Dec. 1, 2017.


After exploring its alternatives, the Debtor has determined that
the sale of unused assets is the best method for satisfying
creditors when considering the time constraints imposed by its
creditors and the Bankruptcy Code.  The Debtor asks that the items
that are not being sold to Statland Medical Group will be sold at a
published auction free and clear of all liens, interests, and
encumbrances.

Lindsay Auction & Realty Service, Inc., is creating a complete
inventory which the Debtor will file with the Court by Dec. 11,
2017.  Any interested buyer should also visit the Auctioneer's
website at www.lindsayauctions.com.

The Assets will be sold by auction at a date and time to be set by
the Auctioneer, but no later than Dec. 31, 2017.  The Auctioneer
will auction the property according to industry standard
procedures.

The Debtor believes that this sale is in the best interests of the
Chapter 11 estate and its creditors, is proposed in good faith, and
is fully justified.  It therefore asks that it be authorized to
complete and to conduct the sale of the Assets and any other
recovered personal property, which permits sale of the property of
the estate, other than in the ordinary course of business, after
notice and hearing.

Proceeds of the sale will be deposited into the trust account of
Evans & Mullinix, P.A., pending further order of the Court.

L&R DEVELOPMENT: Able Insurance Dropped from Lopez Suit
-------------------------------------------------------
Judge Brian K. Tester of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for District of
Puerto Rico dismissed the case styled L&R DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT
CORP; JOSE LOPEZ AVILES; NILSA ENID GUZMAN BIDOT Plaintiff, v.
HECTOR NOEL ROMAN; MYRNA ENID PEREZ VEGA; ABLE INSURANCE AGENCY,
INC. Defendant(s), Case No. 16-08792 BKT, Adversary No. 17-00026,
(Bank. D.P.R.), as to Able Insurance Agency, Inc., with prejudice.

On June 10, 2014, L&R Development, corporation shareholders Jose
Joaquin Lopez Aviles and Nilsa Enid Guzman Bidot (Lopez
shareholders) and Co-Defendants Hector Noel Roman and Myrna Enid
Perez Vega (Romans) entered into a Purchase Agreement, which
included, among other things, (a) the sale of certain land and a
purchase option, and (b) acquisition by L&R Development of certain
shares the Romans had in the Corporation and other two companies.
The Purchase Agreement included the detail for the monetary payment
of the $2 million by the Romans to L&R and the Lopez shareholders.
On the same date of the Purchase Agreement June 10, 2014, L&R
Development, the Lopez shareholders and the Romans signed an Escrow
Agreement with Able Insurance. The Escrow Agreement appointed Able
Insurance as the Escrow Agent.

The Court notes that Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement contains the
material 'Disbursement Instructions' for Able Insurance which
refers to Subsection 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement. Subsection 2.2
of the Purchase Agreement states in relevant part:

     "If by June 10, 2015, LRDIC and Lopez shareholders do not
agree with Scotiabank de Puerto Rico or Banco Cooperativo de Puerto
Rico to settle, restructure, release, repay LRDIC, Lopez
Shareholders or Buyers loan obligations with such financial
institutions, the remaining balance of the Escrow Funds shall be
released to the Buyers."

The Plaintiff argues that Able Insurance's action in releasing the
balance of the Escrow Funds to the Romans constitutes gross
negligence. To support their position, the Plaintiff points to
several undisputed events, namely: (a) that Able Insurance did not
request a promissory note for the disbursed funds from the Romans;
(b) Able Insurance did not request evidence from the Romans of any
payments made prior to January 31, 2016, in order to verify the
Romans' right to withdraw all or part of the Escrow Funds; (c) Able
Insurance did not advise the Seller or the Lopez Shareholders
beforehand of the disbursement of the Escrow Funds to the Romans.
The Plaintiff contends these acts and omissions on the part of Able
Insurance represents its failure to abide by the term and
conditions of the Escrow Agreement, which validated and recognized
the Purchase Agreement.

The Court determines that both documents contain the exact same
instruction to the Escrow Agent. Against that factual backdrop,
Able Insurance received the letter dated March 17, 2016, which was
sent by the Romans, wherein they requested Able Insurance to
release to them the remaining balance of the deposited funds while
representing that, "as of June 30, 2015 and as of the date hereof,
the Seller and the Lopez Shareholders have not reached an agreement
with Scotiabank de Puerto Rico to settle, restructure, release or
repay the loans specified in Section 4(a) of the Escrow Agreement."


The Court points out that neither the Escrow Agreement nor the
Purchase Agreement contain language which mandates Able Insurance
to request a promissory note for the disbursed funds from the
Romans, nor to request evidence from the Romans of any payments
made prior to January 31, 2016, in order to verify the Romans'
right to withdraw all or part of the Escrow Funds, nor to advise
the Seller or the Lopez Shareholders beforehand of the disbursement
of the Escrow Funds to the Romans. In sum, these were not acts
required of the Escrow Agent. While other sections of the Purchase
Agreement and the Escrow Agreement do require that all parties sign
for the Escrow Agent to act, this particular disbursement
instruction directed Able Insurance to Section 2.2 of the Purchase
Agreement.

The Court concludes that the contractual clauses in question
establish that the duties and obligations of Able Insurance were
solely those that stem from the provisions of the Escrow Agreement,
that Able Insurance could rely and act upon any advice,
certificate, notice, direction, instruction or request, which Able
Insurance in good faith believed to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party, and that Able Insurance
would not be liable for the non-compliance of the other parties.

LKQ CORP: Moody's Affirms Ba1 CFR & Changes Outlook to Negative
---------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed LKQ Corporation's ratings outlook
to negative from stable, and affirmed all debt ratings including
the Corporate Family Rating ("CFR") at Ba1, senior unsecured at
Ba2, and the Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating ("SGL") at SGL-2.
These actions follow the company's plan to acquire Stahlgruber GmbH
("Stahlgruber") in a largely debt funded transaction for EUR1.5
billion, anticipated to close late in the first quarter of 2018 or
early in the second quarter.

Ratings affirmed:

LKQ Corporation:

Corporate Family Rating, at Ba1;

Probability of Default Rating, at Ba1-PD;

$600 million senior unsecured notes due 2023, at Ba2 (LGD5)

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, at SGL-2

LKQ Italia Bondco S.p.A.:

Backed Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024, at Ba2 (LGD5)

LKQ Corporation and LKQ Italia Bondco S.p.A.:

Outlook, changed to Negative from Stable

Moody's does not rate LKQ's $3.5 billion senior secured bank credit
facility

RATINGS RATIONALE

The negative outlook incorporates the higher financial risk from
plans to fund the acquisition of Stahlgruber with primarily debt,
which would increase the company's pro-forma debt/EBITDA by almost
one turn. Although the composition of the debt is yet to be
determined, the company will be increasing total funded debt by
just over 50%. Moody's notes that this is the largest acquisition
in the company's history and expands its presence in one of the
largest populations of used cars in Europe. Pro forma for the
proposed acquisition, last twelve months ended September 30, 2017
debt/EBITDA approximates 4.0x (per Moody's standard adjustments
including operating leases and excluding synergies) and
EBITA/Interest exceeds 5.0x. Moody's believes the company has a
good track record of integrating acquisitions.

Although there are benefits, the company's pace of sizable
debt-financed acquisition activity has accelerated. The company's
most recent peak leverage prior to this transaction occurred during
the first half of 2016 with LKQ's acquisition of Italy-based Rhiag
Group (Rhiag) and Pittsburgh Glass Works.

LKQ's ratings including its Ba1 CFR were affirmed because of the
company's demonstrated ability to grow its competitive global
position in non-OEM automotive aftermarket collision and mechanical
parts in the U.S. and Europe. The company has grown revenues over
the past several years through a combination of organic and
acquisition growth. Acquisitions have expanded the company's market
presence and its global reach, and broadened product offerings
within its automotive aftermarket business. However, the margin
profile of some of the company's acquisition targets is lower than
that of LKQ's traditional businesses. This is evident in the recent
moderation in margins due to acquisitions, particularly in Europe.
Management has undertaken profitability initiatives and
streamlining of operations to improve margins.

Debt/EBITDA over the next twelve to eighteen months is expected to
improve to the 3.5 times or better level as the company realizes
synergies and operational efficiencies from its sizable scale and
distribution network and parts. The ratings incorporate the
assumption that the company will not enter into another
meaningfully-sized acquisition before substantially restoring it
credit metrics to pre-acquisition levels. Moody's expects the
company will use part of its strong free cash flow generation to
repay acquisition-related debt.

Maintaining a good liquidity profile characterized by consistent
free cash flow generation and revolver availability is important to
alleviate any downwards ratings pressure.

The ratings could be downgraded with complications in the
integration of the proposed or other acquisitions or additional
debt financed acquisitions which further increase financial
leverage. In addition, a deterioration in the company's liquidity
profile including lower free cash flow or a meaningful weakening in
EBITA margins, sustainably below 10%, expectations of debt/EBITDA
sustained above the low 3x level, or EBITA/interest coverage below
4x could also cause downward ratings pressure.

The absence of another sizable debt financed acquisition while the
company integrates Stahlgruber while using free cash flow
generation to reduce debt levels could lead to a stabilization of
the ratings outlook.

Although unlikely over the near-term, the ratings could be upgraded
following the absence of another sizable debt financed acquisition
while the company integrates its recent acquisitions. Consideration
for a higher rating could result from debt/EBITDA being maintained
in the low 2.0x level, sustained EBITA margin improvement and
retained cash flow/net debt of about 35% while maintaining a good
liquidity profile.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Distribution &
Supply Chain Services Industry published in December 2015.

LKQ Corporation, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, is a leading
provider of alternative and specialty parts to repair and
accessorize automobiles and other vehicles. LKQ has operations in
North America, Europe, and Taiwan. The company offers its customers
a broad range of replacement systems, components, equipment and
parts to repair and accessorize automobiles, trucks, and
recreational and performance vehicles. Revenues for the last twelve
months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $9.4 billion. Pro forma
revenues for the company including the proposed acquisition of
Germany-based Stahlgruber would be approximately $11.3 billion.


LOS DOS MOLINOS: Unsecured Creditors to Recoup 20% Under the Plan

MAC ACQUISITION: Landlords Seek Modification of Plan Outline
------------------------------------------------------------
Brixmor Property Group, Inc., PGIM Real Estate, and Starwood Retail
Partners LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware a limited objection to Mac Acquisition LLC and
affiliates' disclosure statement for their proposed joint plan of
reorganization.

The objecting Landlords are the owners or agents for the owners of
certain shopping centers at which the Debtors operate retail stores
pursuant to written unexpired nonresidential real property leases.

The Landlords do not object to the Debtors' efforts to confirm a
plan of reorganization, but as drafted, the Disclosure Statement,
Plan and Proposed Order fail to provide adequate information for
the Landlords or other creditors to make an informed decision with
respect to the Plan and the treatment of the Leases under the Plan,
and the Plan itself improperly seeks to modify the Landlords'
rights under their Leases and the Bankruptcy Code.

The Disclosure Statement and Plan rely, in part, on a Plan
Supplement including schedules of assumed Leases that need not be
filed until shortly before the Confirmation Hearing, and there are
a number of discrepancies among the documents with respect to the
confirmation timeline. The Landlords understand that the
adjournment of the Disclosure Statement Hearing has led to
adjustments to the confirmation timeline, and until such time as a
revised timeline has been circulated, it is unclear if the
Landlords' objections to the timeline will have been resolved.
However, the Debtors have represented that the revised Proposed
Order will provide for Cure Notices to be provided to Landlords no
less than 10 business days prior to any deadline to raise
objections to either cure, confirmation or assumption, and any
applicable voting deadline.

The Debtors should pay all undisputed cure amounts for assumed
Leases on the Effective Date of the Plan along with other
administrative claims. Section 365(b)(1)(A) requires that the
Debtors promptly cure outstanding balances due under the Leases
upon assumption. To the extent there is a dispute over the total
cure obligation for any Lease, all undisputed cure amounts should
be paid immediately. Debtors should escrow disputed amounts, and
the Court should set a status conference within thirty (30) days of
the assumption or assumption and assignment of the Leases to deal
with any disputes that remain unresolved after such period.

In addition, the releases, waivers and injunction provisions
referenced in the Disclosure Statement and Plan are overbroad and
require revision. The language does not adequately address the fact
that various claims and rights under the Leases must survive
confirmation of the Plan for the continuing obligations that exist
under the Leases.

Based on these, the Landlords request that the Court not approve
the Disclosure Statement unless and until the Debtors provide
adequate information as required by Section 1125, amend the
Disclosure Statement and Plan so that the Disclosure Statement
describes a Plan that is confirmable, including the modifications
requested, and grant such further relief as the Court deems
proper.

A full-text copy of the Landlords' Objection is available at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/deb17-12224-270.pdf

The Troubled Company Reporter previously reported that the Debtor
will get an additional $8.5MM in financing. The treatment of
creditors and distribution of assets under the Plan contemplates a
comprehensive agreement under which the Debtors and the other
parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement have consensually
resolved or agreed not to pursue claims, objections, litigation, or
other disputes that otherwise likely would arise and be required to
be resolved in the Chapter 11 cases, including, among other things
and solely by way of example, potential disputes related to the
amount, validity and scope of secured claims and their attendant
liens, the potential avoidance of liens and security interests, the
funding of administrative expenses in the Chapter 11 cases, funds
(if any) available to pay unsecured claims, and the valuation of
the Debtors and their assets.

liquidation and sale of the Company's assets and business conducted
by KPMG.

Maple Bank GmbH -- http://www.maplebank.com/-- provided commercial
banking, equity and fixed income trading, repos and securities
lending, deposits, and structured products and institutional sales
services.

On February 15, 2016, the court-appointed insolvency administrator
of Maple Bank GmbH and putative foreign representative of Maple
Bank GmbH under Chapter 15 U.S. Bankruptcy Code filed a Verified
Petition for Recognition of Foreign Proceeding and Motion for Order
Granting Related Relief pending before the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York.  The U.S. proceeding
is captioned as, In re Maple Bank GmbH, Case No. 16-10336 (MG)
(Bankr. S.D.N.Y.).  The Verified Petition seeks, among other
things, the entry of an order (i) recognizing Maple Bank's
insolvency proceeding pursuant to the German Insolvency Act,
commenced before the Frankfurt Lower District Court (Amtsgericht
Frankfurt am Main), Case No. 810 IN 128/16 M, as a foreign main
proceeding, or in the alternative, as a foreign non-main
proceeding, (ii) recognizing the Petitioner as the foreign
representative of Maple Bank and (iii) granting related relief
under chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code.

Dr. Michael C. Frege, in his capacity as the court-appointed
Insolvency Administrator and putative foreign representative,
serves as petitioner in the Chapter 15 case.

In July 2016, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions in Canada pushed to liquidate Maple Financial Group
Inc.'s German unit after warning that Canadian creditors may be
short-changed by Germany's insolvency proceeding against the
lender, according to a Bloomberg News report, citing an internal
memo from the regulator.

Maple Bank is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, but has a branch
in Canada. The branch doesn't take or hold any retail deposits, but
mainly deals in securitization, securities financing and structured
secured wholesale lending, CBCNews noted.

According to Bloomberg, German banking watchdog BaFin shuttered
Maple Bank GmbH in February 2016 after a dispute over tax refunds
threatened the firm's stability. Authorities in that country are
seeking to hold Maple Bank liable for alleged tax liabilities of as
much as 392 million euros ($436 million), according to court
documents.  The bank also has branches in Canada and the
Netherlands, and broker-dealers in Canada, the U.S. and U.K.

re-establishing its competitive position and profitability in the
North American medium and heavy truck markets.

In October 2017, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B-' corporate
credit rating on Navistar International Corp.  The outlook remains
stable.  "We could lower our ratings on Navistar if the company
faces challenges that prevent it from maintaining its
profitability, causing its credit measures to deteriorate or its
liquidity to weaken.  We could also lower our ratings if we come to
believe that Navistar is dependent upon favorable business,
financial, and economic conditions to meet its financial
commitments, or if we view the company's financial obligations as
unsustainable in the long term."

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 26, 2017, Fitch Ratings affirmed the
Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) for Navistar International
Corporation (NAV), Navistar, Inc., and Navistar Financial
Corporation (NFC) at 'B-'.  The Rating Outlook is Stable.  Fitch
expects NAV's debt and leverage could be nearly unchanged or
increase slightly following the completion of its refinancing
plans.

NORTHERN OIL: Moody's Affirms Caa2 CFR & Revises Outlook to Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Northern Oil and Gas, Inc.'s
(NOG) Caa2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), Caa2-PD Probability of
Default Rating (PDR), and Caa3 senior unsecured notes rating. At
the same time, Moody's upgraded the Speculative Grade Liquidity
(SGL) rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4. The rating outlook is stable.

"The change to a stable outlook and the SGL-3 Speculative Grade
Liquidity rating recognizes NOG's improved liquidity, which will
support the company's drilling capital requirements through 2018
with sufficient headroom under its financial covenants," commented
James Wilkins, Moody's Vice President -- Senior Analyst. "The
affirmation of the Caa2 CFR reflects still-elevated debt balances
and a high cost structure, which continue to pressure cash flows in
this range-bound oil price environment."

NOG entered into a term loan agreement that provides for $300
million in initial term loans that were made as of the effective
date, a $100 million delayed draw term loans for a period of 18
months after the effective date and up to $100 millon in
incremental term loans on an uncommitted basis.

The following summarizes the ratings activity.

Issuer: Northern Oil and Gas, Inc.

Affirmations:

Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Caa2

Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Caa2-PD

Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Affirmed Caa3 (LGD4)

Upgrades:

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

Outlook:

Outlook, Changed to Stable from Negative

RATINGS RATIONALE

NOG's Caa2 CFR reflects its high leverage, weak asset coverage of
debt (under 1x), modest scale and Moody's expectations that NOG's
cash flows will continue to be challenged through 2018. The company
has $1 billion of balance sheet debt - $700 million of notes due
June 1, 2020 and a $300 million term that matures in five years
provided no more than $30 million of the notes are outstanding as
of March 1, 2020. Moody's does not expect the company to generate
meaningful positive free cash flow in 2018 that would allow it to
repay debt, and with a PV-10 value that is currently much less than
the $1 billion of outstanding debt, refinancing the notes prior to
March 1, 2020, at par will be unlikely without a substantial
increase in oil prices. NOG is hedging its expected oil production
three years in the future as required under its term loan credit
agreement. Its swaps (at prices averaging $52.58/bbl for 2018 as of
September 30, 2017) will limit the benefit NOG reaps from potential
future upward movement in oil prices.

The improvement in liquidity provided by the term loan credit
agreement should allow NOG the flexibility to increase its capital
expenditures in 2018 and modestly increase production volumes.
Notwithstanding its oil-weighted production mix, a heavy interest
burden and steep (although improving) basis differentials are a
drag on NOG's profit margins. Moody's projects NOG's retained cash
flow (RCF) to debt ratio will remain below 10% in 2018, if WTI
crude oil prices average around $50/bbl. Continued outspending of
cash flows will limit NOG's ability to reduce debt, keeping
leverage elevated.

The SGL-3 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating reflects adequate
liquidity, supported by cash flow from operations, cash balances
and availability under the delayed draw term loan facility. The
company has a committed $100 million delayed-draw term loan
available until May 2019. As of September 30, 2017, NOG had
approximately $152 million of cash, pro forma for the term loan
proceeds, repayment of revolver borrowings and termination of the
revolving credit facility due 2018. Moody's anticipates balance
sheet cash will be sufficient to fund continued negative free cash
flow, as NOG operates under an increased drilling program. NOG's
first lien senior secured term loan facility agreement has three
financial covenants: a minimum PDP coverage ratio (PDP PV-10 plus
cash to secured debt) of 1.3x; a maximum net secured debt to
EBITDAX ratio of 3.75x; and a minimum liquidity requirement of $20
million (consisting of cash and undrawn delayed draw commitments).
Moody's expects that NOG will maintain compliance with the
covenants through 2018. The company benefits from having no
near-term debt maturities (the notes mature June 1, 2020 and the
term loan matures in 2022, but the term loan credit agreement
requires that no more than $30 million principal amount of the
notes are outstanding on March 1, 2020). Substantially all of the
company's assets are pledged as security under the term loan
facility, which limits the extent to which asset sales could
provide a source of additional liquidity, if needed.

NOG's $700 million of senior unsecured notes are rated Caa3, one
notch below the company's Caa2 CFR, reflecting the more senior
priority claim on assets of the $300 million first lien secured
term loan (unrated). The term loan is secured by substantially all
of NOG's assets.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that NOG will have
adequate liquidity though 2018, while it pursues its drilling
program, and that NOG's credit metrics will not decline from
already weak levels. Before an upgrade would be considered NOG must
demonstrate progress towards refinancing the notes due 2020. If NOG
does so and can achieve interest coverage of 2x (including Moody's
analytical adjustments) while maintaining its ratio of Retained
Cash Flow to Debt over 10% on a sustained basis and adequate
liquidity, an upgrade could be considered. The CFR could be
downgraded if liquidity falls below $100 million, or if interest
coverage falls below 1.5x (including Moody's analytical
adjustments).

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Independent
Exploration and Production Industry published in May 2017.

Northern Oil and Gas, Inc., based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, owns
non-operated working interests in oil and gas wells and acreage
primarily in the Bakken and Three Forks formations within the
Williston Basin in North Dakota and Montana.


NORTHWEST HARDWOODS: Moody's Affirms Caa1 Corporate Family Rating
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed Northwest Hardwoods, Inc.'s
("Northwest" or "NWH") rating outlook to stable from negative since
NWH extended maturity date of its revolving credit facility,
removing a liquidity constraint, and expectations that operating
performance will improve modestly. In related rating action,
Moody's affirmed Northwest's Caa1 Corporate Family Rating, Caa1-PD
Probability of Default Rating, and Caa2 rating assigned to its
senior secured notes due 2021.

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Northwest Hardwoods, Inc.

-- Outlook, Changed To Stable From Negative

Affirmations:

Issuer: Northwest Hardwoods, Inc.

-- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Caa1-PD

-- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Caa1

-- Senior Secured Regular Bond/Debenture Aug 1, 2021, Affirmed
    Caa2 (LGD4)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The change in Northwest's rating outlook to stable from negative
results from recent extension of its asset-based revolving credit
facility to a stated maturity of July 18, 2022 from July 18, 2019,
removing a liquidity constraint and giving it more financial
flexibility. However, revolver maturity will spring forward 60 days
(to about June 1, 2021) prior to maturity of NWH's senior secured
notes due August 1, 2021. Northwest also modified its borrowing
base limitations, effectively giving it more collateral for
potential borrowings. Supporting stable outlook is Moody's
expectations that operating performance will improve modestly,
albeit from low levels.

Northwest Hardwoods' Caa1 Corporate Family Rating results from low
profit margins, weak interest coverage and high debt leverage.
Operating performance has been negatively impacted by lower volumes
and product mix variance. Key debt-credit metrics will remain
anemic over next 12 to 18 months. Cash interest payments for
Northwest's high-yield debt alone total almost $30 million per
year, making it difficult for the company to generate high levels
of free cash flow relative to debt burden.

Providing an offset to fragile credit metrics is NWH' position as a
leader in the North American hardwood lumber manufacturer. Its high
sawmill capacity is a significant barrier to entry. Moody's expect
growth in new housing construction and remodeling activity, key end
markets for NWH. Moody's recognizes that management is addressing
its operating performance by improving working capital, enhancing
supplier relationships, and modernizing its mills. These actions
should contribute to better results over the long-term.
Additionally, NWH now has an extended maturity profile with no
significant maturities until mid-2021, earliest maturity of its
revolving credit facility.

Rating upgrade is not likely over intermediate term. However,
upward ratings pressures will occur when Northwest's turn-around
program takes hold and operating performance rebounds, yielding the
following credit metric (ratio includes Moody's standard
adjustments) and characteristic:

* Debt-to-EBITDA sustained below 6.0x

* EBITA-to-interest staying above 1.0x

* Balance sheet debt permanently reduced

* Liquidity profile improves

A downgrade will ensue if NWH's operating performance does not show
improvement, resulting in the following credit metrics (ratio
includes Moody's standard adjustments) and characteristics:

* Debt-to-EBITDA sustained above 9.5x

* EBITA-to-interest trending towards 0.5x

* Significant levels of dividends

* Large debt-financed acquisitions

* Deterioration in liquidity

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global
Manufacturing Companies published in June 2017.

Northwest Hardwoods, Inc., headquartered in Tacoma, WA, is a
national manufacturer and distributor of hardwood lumber used for
diverse products such as mill work, cabinetry, flooring, and
furniture. NWH derives about 30% of revenues from exports.
Littlejohn & Co., through its affiliates, is the primary owner of
Northwest. Northwest is privately-owned and does not publicly
disclose financial information.


OAKFABCO INC: Liquidating Trust to Make Payments to PI Claimholders
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Oakfabco, Inc. filed a motion asking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Illinois to conditionally approve its
disclosure statement regarding its proposed plan of liquidation
dated Dec. 1, 2017.

The Debtor also requests that the Court schedule a Combined Hearing
for March 8, 2018, or as soon thereafter as the Court is available,
and providing that the Combined Hearing may be continued from time
to time by the Court or the Debtor without further notice other
than an announcement of the continuance at the Combined Hearing or
any continued hearing.

In addition, the Debtor respectfully requests that the Court
establish the following deadlines and procedures relating to final
approval of the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation of the Plan:

   * Objections and responses to final approval of the Disclosure
Statement and Confirmation of the Plan must be in writing and filed
and served on or before 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Central Time) on
March 1, 2018.

   * The deadline for the Debtor to file a consolidated reply and
for any other party in interest to file a reply to any objections
to Confirmation of the Plan will be on or before 4:00 p.m.
(prevailing Central Time) on March 5, 2018.

The Plan provides for the Liquidating Trust to make distributions
on account of all valid Asbestos Personal Injury Claims asserted by
claimants in accordance with certain procedures. The Trust
Distribution Procedures establish criteria for the resolution of
Asbestos PI Claims (including the supporting evidence required to
be submitted), set forth the processes by which Asbestos PI Claims
will be reviewed by the Liquidating Trust, and specify liquidated
values for valid claims based on the severity of the underlying
disease.

Under the Trust Distribution Procedures, Holders of Asbestos PI
Claims will be required to submit proof-of-claim forms tailored to
elicit the type of information necessary to demonstrate the
existence of a valid Asbestos PI Claim and evidence demonstrating
both injury and exposure. The required evidentiary materials depend
upon the nature of the claimed disease. The Liquidating Trust will
be charged with reviewing the materials submitted by each holder of
an Asbestos PI Claim and determining whether such claims should be
paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Trust
Distribution Procedures.

                  About Oakfabco, Inc.

Oakfabco, Inc, formerly known as Kewanee Boiler Corporation, has
not manufactured boilers since 1988 when it sold its Kewanee boiler
business in an 11 U.S.C. Section 363 sale to Coppus Engineering
Corporation. In early 2009, it sold all of its remaining assets.

The Debtor has no employees, and, Frederick W. Stein is the
Debtor's sole officer and director. The Debtor's sole remaining
asset is its insurance, and it has no known liabilities other than
asbestos claims.

In January 1970, Kewanee Boiler Corp, then a newly-formed Illinois
Corporation, acquired the assets and debt of American Standard,
Inc.'s commercial boiler manufacturing division known as "Kewanee
Boiler." The boilers manufactured and sold by Kewanee Boiler were
insulated with asbestos.

Oakfabco sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No.
16-27062) on Aug. 7, 2015, to resolve its remaining asbestos
claims. The petition was signed by Frederick W. Stein, president.

Stephen T. Bobo, Esq., Aaron B. Chapin, Esq., Paul M. Singer, Esq.,
Luke A. Sizemore, Esq., and Joseph D. Filloy, Esq., at Reed Smith
LLP, serves as counsel to the Debtor.

The Debtor estimated $10 million to $50 million in assets and
debt.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 11 appointed four members to the
Asbestos Claimants' Committee in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy case of
Oakfabco Inc.: Vince Holajn, William E. Gallet, Kristin Leigh Hart,
and Michael Batchelor. The Asbestos Claimants' Committee is
represented by Frances Gecker, Esq., at FrankGecker LLP.

The Debtor tapped Logan & Company, Inc. as its claims and noticing
agent, and Alan D. Lasko and Associates, P.C. as its tax
accountant.

The Asbestos Claimants' Committee retained Henry Booth and Colin
Gray to provide insurance professional services.


OCWEN FINANCIAL: Fitch Puts CC Sr. Notes Rating on Watch Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed the senior unsecured notes of Ocwen
Financial Corporation (OCN) and the senior secured notes of Ocwen
Loan Servicing, LLC (OLS) on Rating Watch Positive following the
publication of an Exposure Draft of its Global Non-Bank Financial
Institutions Rating Criteria, which contemplates the introduction
of '+' and '-' modifiers at the 'CCC' rating category.

The Exposure Draft was published on Dec. 12, 2017, after which
Fitch is soliciting market feedback until Jan. 31, 2018.
Thereafter, Fitch will publish finalized criteria and resolve the
Rating Watch status of the affected securities within a reasonably
short time frame.

OCN's senior unsecured notes and OLS's senior secured notes are
currently rated 'CC/RR6' and 'CCC/RR5', respectively. Ocwen's
ratings are otherwise unaffected by this rating action.

SENIOR DEBT

The Rating Watch Positive reflects Fitch's expectation that the
notes will be upgraded by one notch if the updated criteria is
finalized as proposed. The upgrade would reflect revised notching
between the Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) and issue-level ratings,
as a function of the Recovery Ratings for a given issue, taking
into account the addition of '+' and '-' modifiers.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

SENIOR DEBT

Fitch expects to resolve the Rating Watch in February 2018,
following the conclusion of the Exposure Draft comment period and
publication of the finalized criteria.

If the proposed 'CCC' rating modifiers and the notching between the
IDRs and issue-level ratings are adopted as proposed, OCN's senior
unsecured notes would be upgraded to 'CCC/RR6' from 'CC/RR6' and
OLS's senior secured notes would be upgraded to 'CCC+/RR5' from
'CCC/RR5'.

If the proposed 'CCC' rating modifiers and the notching between the
IDRs and issue-level ratings are not adopted as proposed, the
ratings would be removed from Rating Watch Positive and would be
otherwise unaffected.

Aside from the aforementioned proposed criteria change, the ratings
assigned to the senior secured and senior unsecured notes are
primarily sensitive to changes in the long-term IDRs of OLS and
OCN, respectively, and recovery prospects on the instruments.
Fitch has placed on the following ratings on Rating Watch
Positive:

Ocwen Financial Corporation
-- Senior unsecured notes 'CC/RR6'.

Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC
-- Senior secured notes 'CCC/RR5'.

Fitch currently rates OCN and OLS as follows:

Ocwen Financial Corporation
-- Long-term IDR 'B-';
-- Short-term IDR 'B'.

Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC
-- Long-term IDR 'B-';
-- Senior secured term loan 'B-/RR4'.

The Rating Outlooks are Negative.


PALOMAR HEALTH: Moody's Rates New $153.3MM 2017 Rev. Bonds 'Ba1'
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned Ba1 ratings to Palomar
Health's proposed $56.2 million Certificates of Participation, to
be issued by the California Municipal Finance Authority, and to the
proposed $153.3 million Series 2017 Revenue Refunding Bonds, to be
issued by Palomar Health. At this time, Moody's are also affirming
the Ba1 ratings on Palomar Health's parity revenue bonds, affecting
$566.9 million of outstanding debt. Total proforma revenue debt
outstanding is $617.7 million. The rating outlook is stable.

Moody's also rates $630 million of PH's general obligation bonds,
which currently have a rating of A2. The general obligation bonds
are secured by the district's voter-approved unlimited property tax
pledge and general obligation bondholders do not have any recourse
to the hospital for payments under the bonds. Tax revenues,
payments, and principal related to the general obligation bonds
have been excluded from this analysis.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The assignment of the Ba1 reflects Palomar Health's large size of
operations, its leading market position, and its stabilized cash
measures, balanced against a very high leverage position and
challenging payor mix. Current challenges include: particularly
poor operating performance through four months of fiscal 2018; a
temporary drop in unrestricted cash and investments year to date;
currently unresolved union contract negotiations; and weak debt
measures. Strengths include: Palomar's leading market position in
northern San Diego county; Palomar's status as the largest district
hospital in the state; a certain level of stability derived from
Palomar's contract with Kaiser; and the absence of immediate
competition.

RATING OUTLOOK

The stable outlook reflects the expectation that operating results
and cash balances will improve in the second half of the year, and
that overall measures will improve over time.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE

- Materially improved liquidity, debt, and operating measures

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE

- Failure to improve operating performance in second half of
   fiscal 2018

- Failure to improve liquidity by end of fiscal year 2018

- Issuance of any additional debt

LEGAL SECURITY

Revenue bonds are secured by a pledge of gross revenues of the
system and are backed by a reserve policy with Assured Guaranty
Municpal Corp. (AGM) which satisfies the debt service reserve fund
requirement. It is also anticipated that AGM will insure a portion
of the Series 2017 Revenue Refunding Bonds. Palomar makes available
unaudited interim financial statements on a quarterly basis.
Covenants include: a minimum days cash on hand requirement of 80
days (below 55 days constitutes an event of default); and minimum
peak debt service coverage of 1.15 times (less than 1.0 times
constitutes an event of default).

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Series 2017 Revenue Refunding Bonds will refund the Series 2010
Certificates of Participation. The 2017 Certificates of
Participation will fund various capital projects. Proceeds will
also pay costs of issuance.

PROFILE

Palomar Health is the largest public health care district in the
State of California, with over $800 million of revenues in fiscal
2017, and generating over 30,000 admissions. The district operates
in-patient facilities in the towns of Escondido and Poway, and
captures 50% market share within the district. Palomar Health was
formerly known as Palomar Pomerado Health and changed its name per
board resolution in May 2012.

METHODOLOGY

The principal methodology used in this rating was Not-For-Profit
Healthcare published in November 2017.

RUBY TUESDAY: Supplements Definitive Proxy Statement

with RTI Holding Company, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, RTI

Litigation Updates

As described in the Definitive Proxy Statement, in connection with
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as of
November 15, 2017, various combinations of Ruby Tuesday, its
directors, Holding, Merger Subsidiary and the Fund have been named
as defendants in six purported stockholder class actions filed in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Tennessee by alleged stockholders of Ruby Tuesday. The lawsuits are
captioned Maseman v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et al., 3:17-cv-00478
(filed on November 8, 2017), Sun v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et al.,
3:17-cv-00482 (filed on November 9, 2017) ("Sun"), Rosenfeld v.
Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et al., 3:17-cv-00485 (filed on November 10,
2017), Raul v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et al., 3:17-cv-00494 (filed on
November 13, 2017) ("Raul"), Patterson v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et
al., 3:17-cv-00495 (filed on November 14, 2017) ("Patterson") and
Breslau v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et al., 3:17-cv-00496 (filed on
November 14, 2017) (collectively, the "Previously Disclosed
Actions").

On November 16, 2017, a purported stockholder class action was
filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Tennessee against Ruby Tuesday, its directors, Holding and
Merger Subsidiary.  The lawsuit is captioned Williams v. Ruby
Tuesday, Inc., et al., 3:17-cv-00499.

On November 17, 2017, a purported stockholder class action was
filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Tennessee against Ruby Tuesday and its directors.  The lawsuit
is captioned Saile v. Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et al., 3:17-cv-00501.

On November 21, 2017, plaintiffs in the Actions filed motions to
consolidate the Actions and appoint Marcell Maseman as interim lead
plaintiff, among other actions.

On November 28, 2017, a stockholder action was filed in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee against
Ruby Tuesday and its directors.  The lawsuit is captioned Bailey v.
Ruby Tuesday, Inc., et al., 3:17-cv-00511.

The complaints in the Actions and Bailey assert claims against
various combinations of Ruby Tuesday, its directors, Holding,
Merger Subsidiary and the Fund pursuant to Section 14(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Ruby Tuesday's directors (and
in Williams, including Holding and Merger Subsidiary) pursuant to
Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and generally allege that the
preliminary proxy statement omitted certain material information
regarding the Merger, and that Ruby Tuesday's directors had control
person liability for the alleged material omissions.  In addition,
the Patterson complaint asserts a claim against Ruby Tuesday's
directors for breach of fiduciary duties.  The complaints generally
seek, among other remedies, to enjoin the Merger, or in the event
that the Merger is consummated, rescission of the Merger and
unspecified damages, costs and attorney's fees. The defendants
believe that the Actions and Bailey are without merit and intend to
defend vigorously against all claims asserted.

Between November 30, 2017 and December 4, 2017, plaintiffs in Sun,
Raul, Patterson, and Williams filed notices of voluntary dismissal
that dismissed the Fund, Holding, and Merger Subsidiary (as
applicable) as defendants from those respective actions.

On December 6, 2017, a purported Ruby Tuesday stockholder opposed
the appointment of Marcel Maseman as interim lead plaintiff in the
Actions.

The Merger (Proposal 1) - Background of the Merger (Beginning on
Page 29 of the Definitive Proxy Statement)

The last sentence in the fourth paragraph on page 33 of the
Definitive Proxy Statement is revised to read as follows:

All of the confidentiality agreements contained a customary
standstill provision prohibiting, among other things, the
counterparty from acquiring shares of Ruby Tuesday common stock and
waging a proxy contest or other shareholder activism campaign and
included a customary "don't ask, don't waive" provision preventing
such counterparty from requesting to waive the standstill provision
without the prior consent of Ruby Tuesday. Such standstill
provisions will terminate by their terms upon the end of a
negotiated time period ranging from one to two years as the case
may be.  All of the confidentiality agreements continue to be in
effect as of December 11, 2017, except that, as described below, on
August 14, 2017, Ruby Tuesday agreed to waive Bidder 8's and Bidder
11's obligations under the standstill provision of their
confidentiality agreements.

The second paragraph on page 42 of the Definitive Proxy Statement
is revised to read as follows:

On August 14, 2017, at the direction of the Ruby Tuesday board, UBS
informed Bidder 8 and Bidder 11 that Ruby Tuesday was entering into
exclusive discussions with another bidder and that it was
terminating discussions with Bidder 8 and Bidder 11 in connection
with a change-of-control transaction.  At the same time, Ruby
Tuesday agreed to waive Bidder 8's and Bidder 11's obligations
under the standstill provision of their respective confidentiality
agreements to the extent necessary to permit each such party to
continue to submit unsolicited confidential proposals to Ruby
Tuesday.  The standstill provisions (including the "don't ask,
don't waive" provisions) of the confidentiality agreements entered
into with other bidders continue to be in effect as of December 11,
2017.

The Merger (Proposal 1) - Opinion of Ruby Tuesday's Financial
Advisor (Beginning on Page 48 of the Definitive Proxy Statement)

The second full paragraph on page 51 of the Definitive Proxy
Statement is revised to read as follows:

UBS performed discounted cash flow analyses utilizing financial
forecasts and estimates prepared by the management of Ruby Tuesday.
See the section entitled "The Merger (Proposal 1) - Certain
Financial Projections" beginning on page 53 of this proxy
statement.  UBS calculated ranges of implied present values (as of
October 15, 2017) of the standalone, after tax, unlevered, free
cash flows that Ruby Tuesday was forecasted to generate from
October 15, 2017 through May 31, 2022 and of terminal values for
Ruby Tuesday.  Implied terminal values were derived by applying to
Ruby Tuesday's 2022 estimated unlevered, free cash flows a range of
perpetuity growth rates of 1.5% to 2.5%, which range was selected
based on UBS's professional judgment and expertise. Implied present
values of cash flows and terminal values were calculated using
discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 10.5%, based on the estimated
range of Ruby Tuesday???s weighted average cost of capital, using
the capital asset pricing model and based on considerations that
UBS deemed relevant in its professional judgment and experience,
taking into account certain metrics including yields for U.S.
Treasury notes, levered and unlevered betas for a comparable group
of companies, market risk and size premia, Ruby Tuesday's estimated
cost of debt, and Ruby Tuesday's target capital structure
weighting.  The discounted cash flow analyses resulted in a range
of implied terminal enterprise value to next twelve months
estimated EBITDA multiples of 4.6x to 5.9x for Ruby Tuesday and a
range of implied equity values of $1.43 to $2.44 per share for Ruby
Tuesday common stock.

As reported by the TCR on Oct. 20, 2017, S&P Global Ratings placed
its ratings, including the 'CCC+' corporate credit rating, on
casual dining restaurant operator Ruby Tuesday Inc. on CreditWatch
with developing implications.  The CreditWatch placement follows
Ruby Tuesday's announcement that it has reached a definitive
agreement to be acquired by Atlanta-based private equity firm NRD
Capital in an approximately $335 million transaction.


RUSSEL METALS: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Corp Credit Rating, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it assigned its 'BB+' long-term corporate
credit rating to Canada-based Russel Metals Inc.  The outlook is
stable.

S&P said, "The rating primarily reflects our view of the company's
position as one of the largest metals distributions companies in
North America, with a strong market position in Canada, a
diversified customer base, and historically modest leverage. The
rating also takes into account the company's comparatively low
margins, and exposure to highly volatile steel prices and energy
market conditions that we expect will contribute to fluctuations in
Russel's prospective credit measures.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Russel will
maintain relatively stable credit measures over the next two years,
including adjusted debt-to-EBITDA at or below 2.5x. We assume
relatively stable average North American steel prices, at least
over the near term, and stronger energy sector demand and economic
growth should enable the company to generate earnings and leverage
near 2017 levels.

"We could downgrade the company if, over the next 12 months, we
expect Russel to generate an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio above
3x, with low prospects of improving this ratio within the
corresponding 12 months. In our view, this could result from lower
earnings related to a steep and sustained decline in steel prices
without a corresponding increase in cash flow from working capital,
or material debt-financed acquisitions.

"Although unlikely over the next 12 months, we could consider an
upgrade if we believe the company can generate and sustain an
adjusted debt-to-debt ratio well below 2x. At the same time, we
would also expect the company to improve its operating breadth,
likely from investments that enhance its margins but do not lead to
higher leverage."


SEARS HOLDINGS: Raising $607-Mil. Debt Facility to Cover Pension
----------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Scurria, writing for The Wall Street Journal Pro Bankruptcy,
reported that Sears Holdings Corp. has entered into an agreement
with lenders to delay the maturity of its $400 million term loan to
January 2019 and said it intends to obtain new debt facility of up
to $607 million to fund its pension payments.

According to the report, the extension of the term loan's maturity
indicates that investors have not lost hope that Sears can stanch a
persistent cash burn and weather a downturn in brick-and-morter
shopping all over the country.  The agreement with "new and
existing lenders" gives the Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based retailer an
option to further extend the maturity date by another six months,
the report related, citing a filing with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch advised Sears on the loan extension
and UBS Investment Bank will advise on the new credit facility, the
Journal noted.

"Looking ahead, we continue to explore alternatives with respect to
our debt maturities to meaningfully reduce cash interest payments
and provide the company greater flexibility," chief financial
officer Rob Riecker said in a statement, the report cited.

                     About Sears Holdings

(NASDAQ: SHLD) is an integrated retailer focused on seamlessly

billion of revenues for the fiscal year 2016, compared to a net
loss of $1.12 billion on $25.14 billion of revenues for the fiscal
year 2015.

                          *     *     *

In January 2017, Fitch Ratings affirmed the Long-term Issuer
Default Ratings (IDR) on Sears Holdings and its various subsidiary
entities (collectively, Sears) at 'CC'.

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 3, 2017, S&P Global Ratings lowered
its corporate credit rating on Sears Holdings Corp. to 'CCC' from
'CCC+'.  The outlook is negative.  "The downgrade reflects our view
that addressing 2018 maturities over upcoming quarters will
determine if the company can continue its turnaround plan without
seeking a broader restructuring," S&P said.

In November 2017, Moody's Investors Service downgraded Sears
Holdings Corp.'s Corporate Family Rating to Caa3 from Caa2.  Sears'
Caa3 rating reflects the company's sizable operating losses -
Domestic Adjusted EBITDA (as defined by Sears) was an estimated
loss of approximately $625 million for the LTM period ending Oct.
28, 2017.


SEDGWICK CLAIMS: Moody's Affirms B3 CFR Amid Cunningham Acquisition
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the B3 corporate family
rating (CFR) and B3-PD probability of default rating of Sedgwick
Claims Management Services, Inc. (Sedgwick) following the company's
announcement that it plans to acquire Cunningham Lindsey, a
Florida-based global loss adjuster majority owned by CVC Partners.
Sedgwick expects to issue an incremental $735 million first-lien
term loan (rated B2) and $200 million second-lien term loan (rated
Caa2) to help fund the acquisition, pay down Sedgwick's revolver,
pay related fees and expenses and add cash to the balance sheet.
Moody's has downgraded Sedgwick's first-lien credit facility
ratings to B2 from B1 based on the change in funding mix, and has
affirmed the company's second-lien facility ratings at Caa2 (see
debt list below). The parties expect to complete the transaction in
the first half of 2018, pending regulatory approvals. The outlook
for the ratings is stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Sedgwick's ratings reflect its status as the largest US third-party
claims service provider (according to Business Insurance, based on
2016 gross revenue), its diverse customer base, product lines and
geographic spread across the US, and its strong historical organic
revenue growth. As a service provider to US corporations, insurance
companies and self-insured entities, Sedgwick benefits from stable
earnings based on long-term contracts with clients, relatively high
switching costs faced by clients, a stable cost structure, and lack
of exposure to insurance underwriting risk. These strengths are
offset by the company's substantial financial leverage and low
interest coverage as well as exposure to errors and omissions
claims, a risk inherent in professional services.

The proposed transaction is credit positive for Sedgwick because it
provides access to Cunningham Lindsey's expertise and clients in
international markets. The two companies have complementary
products and services and together will form a leading global
provider of risk and benefit solutions. Offsetting these benefits
is the large size and scope of this acquisition, being funded
largely with debt, and related execution and integration risk.
Moody's expects that Sedgwick's free cash flow will be weak over
the next few months as a result of planned capital expenditures on
strategic technology.

Pro forma for this transaction, Moody's estimates that the combined
group will have a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of almost 8x, (EBITDA --
capex) interest coverage of around 2x, and slightly negative free
cash flow. These metrics include the rating agency's accounting
adjustments for operating leases, pensions and run-rate earnings
from recent acquisitions. Such financial leverage is above the
expected range for Sedgwick's rating category, but Moody's expects
the company to reduce its debt-to-EBITDA ratio below 7.5x and
improve its free cash flow metrics over the next few quarters
through EBITDA growth.

Factors that could lead to an upgrade of Sedgwick's ratings
include: (i) debt-to-EBITDA ratio below 6x, (ii) (EBITDA - capex)
coverage of interest exceeding 2x, and (iii) free-cash-flow-to-debt
ratio exceeding 4%.

Factors that could lead to a rating downgrade include: (i)
debt-to-EBITDA ratio remaining above 7.5x, (ii) (EBITDA - capex)
coverage of interest below 1.2x, or (iii) free-cash-flow-to-debt
ratio remaining below 2%.

Moody's has affirmed the following ratings (and loss given default
(LGD) assessments):

Corporate family rating at B3;

Probability of default rating at B3-PD;

$835 million (including $200 million increase) second-lien term
loans maturing February 2022 at Caa2 (LGD5).

Moody's has downgraded the following ratings:

$125 million (undrawn at close) first-lien revolving credit
facility expiring in February 2019 to B2 (LGD3) from B1 (LGD3);

$2.1 billion (including $735 million increase) first-lien term
loans maturing in February 2021 to B2 (LGD3) from B1 (LGD3).

The rating outlook is stable.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Insurance
Brokers and Service Companies published in September 2017.

Sedgwick is the largest insurance claim service provider in the US
based on 2016 revenues. The company processes claims for a wide
range of insurance product lines including workers' compensation,
general liability and disability. The company generated revenues of
approximately $1.8 billion for the 12 months through September
2017.

Based in Tampa, Florida, Cunningham Lindsey is a leading global
provider of insurance loss adjusting, claims management and other
risk management services to insurance and reinsurance companies,
insurance syndicates, self-insured corporations and government
agencies. The company operates through a global network of about
6,000 staff in over 60 global offices. The company generated
revenue of $714 million for the 12 months through September 2017.

SPINLABEL TECHNOLOGIES: Seeks DIP Financing, Delays Exit Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
SpinLabel Technologies, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Florida to extend the exclusive periods
for the Debtor to file a plan of reorganization and solicit
acceptance of the plan through and including Feb. 5 and April 6,
2018, respectively.

Absent an extension, the Exclusive Filing Period was slated to
expire Dec. 7, 2017, and the Exclusive Solicitation Period expires
Feb. 5, 2018.

The Debtor's deadline for filing a plan and disclosure statement is
Dec. 7, 2017.  The Debtor further request that the procedures order
deadline be extended to through and including Feb. 5, 2018.

Since the Petition Date, the Debtor has devoted a significant
amount of time to complying with the requirements of operating as a
debtor-in-possession during a Chapter 11 case, pursuing various
business opportunities, and seeking debtor-in-possession
financing.

The Debtor has obtained written letters of intent from certain
potential lenders to provide the Debtor with, at least, $250,000 in
debtor-in-possession financing.  These funds would be used by the
Debtor as working capital to generate revenue, and enable the
Debtor to obtain exit financing.  As a result, the Debtor requires
additional time to finalize the proposed interim DIP Financing and
obtain exit financing, prior to proposing a plan and disclosure
statement.

The Debtor's management has devoted significant time to complying
with the requirements of operating as a debtor-in-possession during
a Chapter 11 case, pursuing various business opportunities, and
seeking debtor-in-possession financing.

The Debtor is generally making required post-petition payments, and
effectively managing its operations and finances.  The Debtor
believes that it is close to obtaining DIP Financing and thus there
are reasonable prospects for filing a viable plan.

The Debtor assures the Court that it is not seeking to use
exclusivity to pressure creditors into accepting a plan they find
unacceptable.  To the contrary, extending exclusivity will allow
the Debtor to obtain DIP Financing, generate revenues and obtain
exit financing without incurring legal fees associated with
preparing a plan and disclosure statement.  The request for
extension is reasonable given the Debtor's progress to date and the
current posture of the case.  The Debtor says it is not seeking an
extension as a delay tactic or to pressure creditors to accede to a
plan that is unsatisfactory to them.  The Petition Date was Aug. 9,
2017.  This is a relatively insignificant period of time given the
contingencies of the instant case.

The Debtor has responded to the operational and administrative
demands for this case.  The Debtor states that it should be
afforded a full and fair opportunity to negotiate, propose and seek
acceptance of a plan.  The Debtor believes that an extension is
warranted and appropriate under the circumstances.  The Debtor
submits that an extension is realistic and necessary, will not
prejudice the legitimate interest of creditors and other parties in
interest and will afford a meaningful opportunity for the Debtor to
pursue a confirmable plan.

TRINITY INDUSTRIES: Fitch Puts BB+ Notes Rating on Watch Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed the 'BBB-' Long-Term Issuer Default Rating
(IDR) on Trinity Industries, Inc. (Trinity) on Rating Watch
Negative following the company's announcement that it plans to spin
off its infrastructure-related businesses. Fitch has also placed
the company's senior unsecured notes and revolving credit facility,
which are rated 'BBB-', and its subordinated convertible notes,
which are rated 'BB+', on Rating Watch Negative.  

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Planned Spin-Off: Trinity announced that it plans to spin off its
infrastructure-related businesses, composed of its construction
products, inland barge and energy equipment segments, and which
accounted for around 45% of manufacturing sales in the first nine
months of 2017. Trinity has not disclosed how it will capitalize
the remaining business. However, the spin-off will leave Trinity as
a focused rail manufacturing and leasing business that is smaller,
less diversified and more cyclical than it is. The separation is
expected to be completed in the second half of 2018, and Fitch
expects to resolve the Rating Watch as details surrounding the
spin-off are disclosed and required approvals are received.

Share Repurchase Authorization: Trinity also announced a new $500
million, two-year share repurchase authorization to replace the
previous $250 million authorization. This indicates a more
aggressive share repurchase posture during a period of cyclical
weakness, though the repurchases could be covered by existing
liquidity, which totalled $2.3 billion as of Sept. 30, 2017.

Higher Financial Leverage: Fitch expects debt/EBITDA for the
manufacturing operations will increase from 1.7x at the end of 2016
to the mid-3x range at the end of 2017, on flat debt levels and
lower EBITDA. Following the spin-off, assuming debt levels at
Trinity remain at current levels, and factoring in the loss of
earnings and cash flow from the spun-off businesses, the proposed
transaction would result in a significant increase in leverage at
the manufacturing operations, likely resulting in at least a one
notch downgrade. There also could be some downside to the rating in
a flat leverage scenario given that the remaining business will be
less diverse and more cyclical. Fitch notes that leverage at the
leasing business is relatively low, providing some support to the
rating.

Contingent Liabilities: Trinity faces two contingent liabilities
which are potential draws on its liquidity but are now less likely
to be paid. One is the guardrail judgment discussed below. The
other is a possible put of its $450 million of subordinated
convertible notes on June 1, 2018, together with a related tax
liability, though the notes are unlikely to be put at current
trading levels.

Favorable Guardrail Ruling: An October 2017 ruling by a panel of
the Fifth Circuit overturned a $682.4 million judgment against
Trinity in a case under the federal False Claims Act relating to
the company's ET Plus guardrail end terminal system. This ruling
reduces the likelihood that Trinity will have to pay the judgment,
though the case isn't fully resolved until the appeals process runs
its course. There are also a number of state cases as well as
product liability and class action lawsuits that are stayed pending
resolution of the appellate process.

Cyclical Downturn: The ratings incorporate a high level of
cyclicality in Trinity's manufacturing business, particularly in
the rail and inland barge segments, which could see sales declines
of over 30% and 60%, respectively in 2017 following 30%-plus
declines in 2016. By contrast, the construction products and energy
equipment segments are expected to see single-digit sales declines
in 2017. The spin-off removes these two businesses that, on
balance, have had a moderating effect on Trinity's cyclicality.

LEASING BUSINESS

Substantial Leasing Business: Trinity has a substantial railcar
leasing business that it will retain and that broadens the
company's industry presence and scale and helps to mitigate the
impact of cyclicality at the railcar and other manufacturing
operations. Fitch views TILC as a core part of Trinity's railcar
business, reflecting strong operational and financial linkages
between the two companies. TILC generates railcar orders for
Trinity as it obtains lease commitments from customers, and
provides a relatively stable source of earnings. In addition, TILC
increases Trinity's presence in the railcar market by providing
customers with a single source for purchasing and financing
railcars.

No Formal Support: TILC does not benefit from a formal support
agreement from Trinity, although Fitch believes Trinity would
support TILC because of its important role in its parent's railcar
business. An important rating consideration is Trinity's ability to
maintain a strong balance sheet that reduces risks related to
potential disruptions to TILC's funding sources or an unexpected
decline in the credit quality of TILC's lease portfolio.

Good Leasing Asset Quality: TILC's credit profile is characterized
by its good asset quality, solid liquidity and low leverage. Its
operating performance is driven by core leasing and management
services plus gains from asset sales. TILC performed relatively
well during the previous downturn including low write-offs and the
ability to remarket railcars within the fleet. TILC's leverage
(debt/equity) was 1.8x as of year-end 2016. Under Fitch's criteria
for rating non-financial corporates, Fitch calculates an
appropriate target debt-to-equity ratio for a finance subsidiary
based on asset quality, funding and liquidity. In TILC's case,
Fitch calculated a target leverage ratio of 4x.

DERIVATION SUMMARY

Trinity Industries is a leading railcar manufacturer and lessor,
with smaller businesses in construction products, inland barge and
energy equipment manufacturing. Trinity's key competitors in its
core rail business include The Greenbriar Companies, which is a
manufacturer and a large railcar lessor, and TTX Co. (A-/Stable)
and GATX, which are large railcar lessors. Relative to these
companies, Trinity is the largest railcar manufacturer and a
smaller but significant lessor. No country-ceiling,
parent/subsidiary or operating environment aspects impact the
rating.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's Key Assumptions Within its Rating Case for the Issuer:

-- These assumptions consider Trinity as it is currently
    configured.
-- Revenues decline by around 27% in 2017 as railcar and barge
    demand declines, before stabilizing in 2018 and recovering in
    2019.
-- EBITDA margins narrow by around 500bps in 2017 due to lower
    sales, a mix change to lower-priced rail cars, pricing
    pressures and negative operating leverage.
-- Debt/EBITDA increases from 1.7x at the end of 2016 to around
    3.8x at the end of 2017.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Positive Rating Action
-- The Stable Outlook could be restored if the spin-off does not
    occur or, if it does occur, the company significantly reduces
    financial leverage to offset higher business risk.

Developments That May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Negative Rating Action
-- The spin-off occurs, resulting in a smaller, less diversified
    and more cyclical business.
-- Mid-cycle manufacturing debt/EBITDA is sustained above 1.0x-
    1.5x and above 3.0x through a downturn.
-- A material increase in leverage at TILC.
-- Large debt-funded acquisitions and/or share repurchases.
-- EBITDA margins for the manufacturing segment of 10% or lower
    on a sustained basis.
-- The need for substantial support for TILC.
-- The company loses the guardrail litigation on appeal,
    resulting in higher debt and leverage.

LIQUIDITY

Trinity had healthy liquidity totalling $2.3 billion as of Sept.
30, 2017. This included $1 billion in cash and marketable
securities as well as a $600 million revolver that had $517 million
available. Out of the company's $1 billion of cash, it needs an
estimated $150 million to $200 million to run its manufacturing
business. The maturity schedule is manageable, with the next major
maturity being the $1 billion warehouse facility at Trinity
Industries Leasing Company, which matures in April 2018. TILC uses
the facility ($833 million was available as of Sept. 30, 2017) and
intercompany loans to fund railcar purchases on an interim basis
until permanent funding is obtained from securitizations or sales
to investment vehicles (RIVs). Trinity does not have a legal
obligation to repay TILC's nonrecourse debt, but Fitch expects the
parent would support TILC if necessary.

Trinity had $3.3 billion of debt as of Sept. 30, 2017, composed of
$850 million of corporate debt and $2.4 billion of debt at TILC
(primarily nonrecourse equipment notes). The corporate debt, which
is the focus of this analysis, is made up of $400 million of senior
notes and $450 million of convertible subordinated notes. Both the
senior notes and the revolver are guaranteed by the following
100%-owned subsidiaries: TILC, Trinity Marine Products, Trinity
North American Freight Car, Inc., Trinity Rail Group, LLC, Trinity
Tank Car, Inc., Trinity Meyer Utility Structures LLC, and Trinity
Structural Towers, Inc. Trinity faces a contingent liability with
respect to its $450 million of convertible subordinated notes due
in 2036, which are puttable on June 1, 2018. Fitch believes Trinity
would have sufficient liquidity between its excess cash and
borrowing facilities to handle this liability, and a related tax
liability, should it be necessary. Trinity could call the notes on
or after June 1, 2018.

FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS

Trinity Industries, Inc.

Fitch has placed the following ratings on Rating Watch Negative:

-- Long-term IDR 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured revolving credit facility 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured notes 'BBB-';
-- Subordinated convertible notes 'BB+'.


TRINITY INDUSTRIES: Moody's Puts Ba1 CFR on Review for Downgrade
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of Trinity Industries,
Inc. on review for downgrade, including the Ba1 Corporate Family
Rating, the Ba1 rating of the $400 million senior unsecured notes
due 2024 and the Ba2 rating of the $450 million convertible
subordinated notes due 2036. This action follows the announcement
that Trinity Industries intends to spin-off the company's non-rail
businesses, largely comprising the Construction Products Group, the
Inland Barge Group and the Energy Equipment Group. At this time,
Moody's expects that any potential downgrade of Trinity Industries'
ratings will be limited to one notch. The transaction is expected
to close in the second half of 2018.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Moody's review of the ratings will focus on the earnings and cash
flows of the Rail Group and Railcar Leasing and Management Services
Group that Trinity Industries intends to retain, relative to the
expected capital structure following the spin-off. At this time,
however, Trinity Industries has not disclosed any information with
respect to the planned capital structure for the railcar
manufacturing and leasing businesses that remain with Trinity
Industries following the spin-off. The review of the ratings will
also consider the company's ability and commitment to reduce
financial leverage over time, as leverage is currently elevated
following two consecutive years of severe revenue declines in the
railcar and inland barge manufacturing businesses. Concurrent with
the spin-off announcement, Trinity Industries announced a
considerable increase in its two-year share repurchase
authorization to $500 million, from $250 million previously.

In addition, Moody's will assess the impact of the spin-off on the
stability and predictability of Trinity Industries' earnings and
cash flows. As part of this assessment, Moody's will determine
whether the growth strategy that Trinity Industries intends to
pursue could alter the size of its railcar leasing businesses
relative to the size of its railcar manufacturing operations. The
railcar manufacturing business is susceptible to severe
fluctuations in demand for new railcars and the diversification of
Trinity Industries' current portfolio of businesses, combined with
the contractual revenues in the railcar leasing group, have helped
to mitigate the ensuing pressure on the company's revenues and
earnings. Moody's will also take into account the long-term
prospects for railcar manufacturing in view of the current abundant
availability of railcars in the North American rail industry.

Trinity Industries' liquidity is good (SGL-2). As of September 30,
2017, the company had about $1 billion of cash, $500 million of
availability under its revolving credit facility and more than $800
million of availability under its warehouse loan facility. The
company generates consistently positive free cash flows, calculated
including the proceeds from the sale of leased railcars.
Nevertheless, holders of the $450 million convertible subordinated
notes can require the company to purchase all or a portion of the
notes on June 1, 2018 or upon a fundamental change.

WALL ST. RECYCLING: Exclusive Plan Period Extended to February 14
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Alan M. Koshick of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Ohio has extended Wall St. Recycling L.L.C.'s exclusive
periods to file a plan of reorganization through and including Feb.
14, 2018, and to solicit acceptances for the plan through and
including April 15, 2018.

The Troubled Company Reporter has previously reported that the
Debtor requested extension of the Exclusivity Period and
Solicitation Period as it would be essential to allow the Debtor to
proceed with the plan process as contemplated by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.  The Debtor and its professionals have spent
significant time producing thousands of pages of documents and
preparing to submit to lengthy examinations by certain key
creditors.

Since virtually day one of this case, the Debtor said it has been
balancing this time consuming process with managing its Chapter 11
case.  This process has moved along as quickly as reasonably
possible. However, the Debtor needed additional time to propose a
plan of reorganization and expects to be in an optimal position to
propose a plan in the near future.

The Debtor believed that an acceptable plan can be developed within
the requested extensions of the Exclusivity Period and Solicitation
Period, but reserve the right to request additional extensions in
the event that unforeseen circumstances arise.  The possibility of
multiple plans -- a potential result if this Motion is not granted
-- would inevitably lead to unnecessary and costly adversarial
confrontations that would likely cause a dramatic increase in the
professional fees burden borne by the Debtor' estate and a
deterioration in asset values.  

At this early stage, if exclusivity were terminated, the Debtor's
customers and employees would face uncertainty, and the Debtor's
efforts to reorganize would be harmed. Exclusivity currently serves
a stabilizing purpose and hurts no one.

Although the Debtor has intended to emerge from Chapter 11 as
quickly as possible, it recognizes that the development and
negotiation of its Plan of reorganization with various creditor
constituencies will require a substantial amount of time, in large
part due the JV Litigation and Member Litigation, as well as the
fact that the Debtor continues to operate its business while it
defends against the pending pieces of litigation and continues
discussions with creditor constituencies to develop and negotiate
the Plan.

WHITING PETROLEUM: Moody's Rates Proposed $750MM Senior Notes B3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 rating to Whiting Petroleum
Corporation's proposed offering of $750 million senior notes due
2026. The B2 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), B2-PD Probability of
Default Rating (PDR), SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating and
positive outlook are not affected by this action. Whiting intends
to use the net proceeds of the notes issue to redeem its 5.0%
senior notes due March 15, 2019.

"Whiting's B2 CFR and positive outlook reflect the extent to which
the company has reduced its outstanding debt from peak 2014
levels," commented Andrew Brooks, Moody's Vice President. "The
positive outlook is also indicative of Moody's view that Whiting's
strengthened balance sheet has better positioned the company to
reinvest in modest production growth in 2018 and beyond, with
production having bottomed out in 2017's second quarter."

Issuer: Whiting Petroleum Corporation

Assignments:

Issuer: Whiting Petroleum Corporation

-- Gtd Senior Unsecured Notes, Assigned B3 (LGD5)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B3 rating on Whiting's unsecured notes is one notch below its
B2 CFR, reflecting the subordination of these notes to Whiting's
secured revolving credit facility and the revolver's priority claim
to the company's assets.

Whiting's B2 CFR reflects the significant reduction in debt it has
achieved, consistent with its history of taking steps to support
its credit metrics through periods of commodity price weakness,
including reduced capital spending, asset sales and equity
issuance. However, the impact of debt reduction on Whiting's credit
metrics has been relatively restrained given production declines as
a result of substantially curtailed capital spending. Having
strengthened its balance sheet through debt reduction from peak
year-end 2014 levels, Whiting is in an improved position to
reinvest in modest production growth which has begun to generate
improved credit metrics from 2016's weak levels. Fourth quarter
production guidance of 126,000 barrels of oil equivalent (Boe) per
day is up 12% from second quarter 2017 lows. Whiting generated
retained cash flow (RCF)/debt of 20% at 2017's third quarter
compared with 15% in 2016. Whiting's B2 CFR is also supported by
the scale of the company's reserves and production, a deep drilling
inventory in the core of the Bakken Shale, and a track record of
organically growing its oil-weighted production, positioning the
company for growth in a more supportive commodity price
environment.

Whiting has reduced its balance sheet debt principally by
mandatorily converting outstanding convertible notes into shares of
Whiting common stock. Moreover, through select asset sales Whiting
has generated additional proceeds for debt reduction, most recently
through the September sale of certain non-operated Bakken acreage
for $500 million. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings then
outstanding under the company's revolving credit facility. The
refinancing of 2019's $961 million 5.0% senior notes due March 15
will relieve the overhang of this upcoming debt maturity, although
simply refinancing these notes represents a missed opportunity for
further debt reduction.

The debt reduction achieved to date, along with modestly higher
crude oil prices (using the mid-point of Moody's estimated $40-$60
per barrel range for crude prices) which have been well hedged into
2018, has resulted in improved 2017 cash flow and credit metrics
for Whiting. Despite substantial debt reduction, however, Whiting
continues to have higher financial leverage at $26,250 debt on
production and $10.44 debt on proved developed reserves, although
asset coverage has improved (based on Moody's forward view of PV-10
value relative to Whiting's adjusted debt) to about 1.5x.

Whiting's SGL-2 rating reflects good liquidity, comprised mostly of
it $2.3 billion secured borrowing base revolving credit facility,
under which $200 million was borrowed as of September 30. Whiting
could potentially outspend cash flow by $300-$400 million in 2017,
and through September 30, working capital had absorbed an
additional $160 million of cash, a function of a return to
production growth. Whiting's revolving credit facility is scheduled
to mature in December 2019. The company is subject to semi-annual
borrowing base redeterminations each May 1 and November 1 of each
year. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of
Whiting's oil and gas properties. Moody's expect Whiting to remain
in compliance with its financial covenants through 2018.

The rating outlook is positive, reflecting Moody's view that the
extent of Whiting's debt reduction and available liquidity will
enable the company to reinvest in modest production growth while
exhibiting improving credit metrics through 2018.

Whiting's ratings could be upgraded to the extent the company
restores modest production growth, reversing 2016's production
decline, while achieving a leveraged full-cycle ratio in excess of
1.0x and maintaining RCF/debt over 20%.

Whiting's ratings could be downgraded if EBITDA/interest falls
below 2.5x or RCF/debt drops below 10% on a sustained basis.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Independent
Exploration and Production Industry published in May 2017.

Whiting Petroleum Corporation is an independent exploration and
production company headquartered in Denver, Colorado, over 90% of
whose production in 2016 was derived from the Williston Basin's
Bakken and Three Forks formations.


WHITING PETROLEUM: S&P Rates New $750MM Sr. Unsecured Notes 'BB-'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it assigned its 'BB-' issue-level
rating and '4' recovery rating to Denver-based oil and gas
exploration and production company Whiting Petroleum Corp.'s new
$750 million senior unsecured notes maturing in 2026. S&P said,
"The '4' recovery rating reflects our expectation of average
(30%-50%; rounded estimate: 35%) recovery in the event of a
default. We expect the company to use the $750 million in net
proceeds along with the availability under its credit agreement to
redeem all of its 5% senior unsecured notes due 2019 ($961.4
million outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2017)."

At the same time, the 'BB-'issue-level rating on Whiting's
remaining senior unsecured notes and the '4' recovery rating remain
unchanged. The 'BB+' issue-level rating and '1' recovery rating on
the company's senior secured debt are also unchanged. The '1'
recovery rating indicates very high (90%-100%, rounded estimate:
95%) recovery to creditors in the event of default.

S&P said, "Our 'BB-' corporate credit rating and stable outlook on
Whiting are unchanged. The rating reflects our assessment of the
company's mid-sized reserve base and Rocky Mountain region focus,
relatively high sensitivity to changes in the oil price, and
adequate liquidity."

                            *********

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.

TCR subscribers have free access to our on-line news archive.
Point your Web browser to http://TCRresources.bankrupt.com/and use
the e-mail address to which your TCR is delivered to login.
