Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 31, 2010, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heald Real Estate, LLC (“Heald Real Estate”), entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Heald Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”) as administrative agent for the lenders, and each lender from time to time party thereto. The Amended Heald Credit Agreement superseded Heald Real Estate’s previously-disclosed term loan credit facility with BofA dated as of March 24, 2009 (the “Original Heald Facility”) that was secured by real estate of Heald Real Estate and guarantied by Heald Capital, LLC and Heald Education, LLC (both of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the “Heald Guarantors”), and the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Heald Credit Agreement, the parties amended and restated the covenants and default provisions under the Original Heald Facility to substantially parallel those provisions in the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility. All other material provisions of the Original Heald Facility remained substantially unchanged.

As previously-disclosed, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Amended Heald Credit Agreement, Bank of the West agreed to assume approximately $8 million, and Heald Real Estate prepaid approximately $7 million, of the loans outstanding under the Original Heald Facility. The total outstanding principal and interest under the Amended Heald Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2010 was approximately $16 million. As previously disclosed, the outstanding term loans under the Amended Heald Credit Agreement bear interest, at Heald Real Estate’s option, either (a) at the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Heald Credit Agreement) or (b) at the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Heald Credit Agreement) for the applicable interest period plus 3.00% per annum. The minimum interest rate is 4.00% per annum. The Amended Heald Credit Agreement matures on March 24, 2012. The Amended Heald Credit Agreement has a related fixed interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America that is guarantied by the Heald Guarantors and secured by the same collateral that secures the Amended Heald Credit Agreement.

The description of the Amended Heald Credit Agreement contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
