Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 29, 2010, the Company, and its subsidiaries CountryPlace Acceptance G.P., LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“GP LLC”), and CountryPlace Acceptance L.P., LLC a Delaware limited liability company (“LP LLC” and together with GP LLC, the “Guarantors”) together with CountryPlace Acceptance Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“CPA”), CountryPlace Mortgage, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“CPM”), and CountryPlace Mortgage Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mortgage SPV” and collectively with CPA and CPM, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Virgo - Redwood, LP, Virgo - Willow, LP, Virgo - Sierra, LP, and Virgo - Magnolia, LP, as Lenders (the “Lenders”), and Virgo Service Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Virgo”) for a $24,800,000 term loan with a maturity date of January 29, 2014.  Concurrently with the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors, the Borrowers and Virgo also entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Guaranty”).

$19,800,000 was advanced under the Credit Agreement at closing and an additional $5,000,000 is available to be advanced upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the pledge to Virgo of all the capital stock of Standard Casualty Company, which stock is currently held by Textron as collateral under the Textron Credit Agreement.  Advances under the Credit Agreement bear variable interest at the annual rate of the Eurodollar Rate plus 12%.  The Eurodollar Rate cannot be less than 3.0% nor greater than 4.5%.  The Credit Agreement is secured by, among other things, a pool of loans and securitization certificates contributed by CPM to the Mortgage SPV, all assets of the Mortgage SPV, and all capital stock and ownership interests in CPA, CPM, Mortgage SPV and the Guarantors.  CPM will continue to service the pledged pool of loans under that certain Mortgage Sale, Contribution and Servicing Agreement dated January 29, 2010 between Mortgage SPV, CPM and Virgo (the “Servicing Agreement”).  The Borrowers expect to use the proceeds from the Credit Agreement to repay intercompany indebtedness owing to the Company and the Company expects to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

As partial consideration for the loan under the Credit Agreement, on January 29, 2010, the Company issued warrants (the “Warrants”) to the Lenders to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,296,634 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.1594 per share.  The Warrants contain an anti-dilution provision that prevents the Warrant holder’s fully-diluted percentage interest in the Company from being diluted in the event that any convertible securities of the Company are converted into other equity securities of the Company.  The Warrants also contain an anti-dilution provision that prevents the Warrant holder from having its fully-diluted percentage ownership in the Company diminished by more than 10% in the event that the Company issues additional equity securities.  These anti-dilution provisions expire four years after the issuance of the Warrants.  The Warrants themselves expire five years after their issuance.

Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement among the Company and the Lenders, dated January 29, 2010, the Lenders were granted certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants.
 
The foregoing summary set forth in response to this Item 1.01 is qualified by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty, the Servicing Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, all of which are attached hereto as exhibits.

Item 3.02   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The contents of Item 1.01 are incorporated herein by reference.  The Warrants were sold to the Lenders pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.  The Warrants were sold exclusively to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act.
