Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective as of February 22, 2010, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Everest Colleges Canada, Inc., increased by $35 million the aggregate capacity under their previously-disclosed syndicated Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., as Domestic Administrative Agent, Domestic Swing Line Lender and Domestic L/C Issuer, Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada Branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent, Canadian Swing Line Lender and Canadian L/C Issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Syndication Agent, and Union Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agent, and each Lender from time to time party thereto. The increase in Credit Facility capacity was achieved through the additional commitments of $5 million by each of Union Bank, N.A. and The Northern Trust Company, as well as the new commitment and joinder by SunTrust Bank as a lender under the Credit Facility with a commitment of $25 million. The Credit Facility, as increased pursuant to the additional commitments, now includes a $295 million U.S. facility and a $20 million Canadian facility.

The material terms of the Credit Facility were initially described in a Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2009, and the Credit Facility was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to that report.

Additionally, on February 22, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Heald Real Estate, LLC ("Heald Real Estate"), entered into an Amendment No. 2 and Waiver ("Amendment No. 2") with Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA"), amending the terms of Heald Real Estate’s previously-disclosed term loan credit facility (the "Mortgage Facility") with BofA that is 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), and the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 2, Bank of America waived compliance with all covenants and defaults under the Mortgage Facility except for the requirement that Heald Real Estate continue making regularly scheduled payments under the Mortgage Facility. Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, in the event that (i) at least one additional lender agrees to assume at least $8 million of the loans outstanding under the Mortgage Facility, and (ii) either Heald Real Estate prepays or an additional lender (other than the lender described in the preceding clause) agrees to assume approximately $7.1 million of the loans outstanding under the Mortgage Facility, each by not later than March 31, 2010, the parties have agreed to amend and restate the Mortgage Facility to align the covenants and defaults under the Mortgage Facility to substantially parallel those provisions in the Company’s Credit Facility. If the amendment and restatement of the Mortgage Facility does not occur by March 31, 2010, Heald Real Estate will be required to pay off, and thus terminate, the Mortgage Facility.

The description of Amendment No. 2 contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
