Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Background

As previously disclosed, during 2008 the Company consummated two acquisitions of consumer notes receivable portfolios. On November 10, 2008, the Company, through CLST Asset I, LLC (“CLST Asset I”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CLST Financo, Inc. (“Financo”), which is one of our direct, wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of FCC Investment Trust I (“Trust I”) from a third party (the “Trust I Purchase Agreement”). The purchase price payable in the Trust I Purchase Agreement was financed pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the credit agreement, dated November 10, 2008, among Trust I, Fortress Credit Co LLC, as a lender (“Fortress”), FCC Finance, LLC (“FCC”), as the initial servicer, and various other parties (the “Trust I Credit Agreement”). On December 12, 2008 we, through CLST Asset Trust II (“Trust II”), a newly formed trust wholly owned by CLST Asset II, LLC (“CLST Asset II”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Financo, entered into a purchase agreement to acquire certain receivables, installment sales contracts and related assets owned by SSPE Investment Trust I (“SSPE Trust”) and SSPE, LLC (“SSPE”). Funding for Trust II included a revolving loan, which Trust II entered into with Summit Consumer Receivables Fund, L.P. (“Summit”), as originator, SSPE and SSPE Trust, as co-borrowers, Summit and Eric J. Gangloff, as Guarantors, Fortress Credit Corp. (“Fortress Corp.”), as a lender, Summit Alternative Investments, LLC, as the initial servicer, and various other parties (“Trust II Credit Agreement”).

As previously disclosed, both Trust I and Trust II had been notified that they were in default of certain of their obligations under their respective credit agreements, and the Company’s investment in Trust I and Trust II was at a substantial risk of loss. The Company’s outstanding balances under the Trust I Credit Agreement and the Trust II Credit Agreement were $21.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, as of August 31, 2010. The Company had been in discussions with Fortress and Fortress Corp. regarding these matters and has entered into the Trust I and Trust II settlement transactions discussed below in resolution of these matters (the “Trust I and Trust II Settlement Transactions”).

Trust I and Trust II Settlement Transactions

On October 29, 2010, the Trust I Credit Agreement was amended, effective August 31, 2010 (the “First Amendment”). Among other things, the First Amendment provided additional funding to Trust I to enable it to purchase the receivables portfolio of Trust II and pay in full the outstanding principal balance in addition to all accrued interest. Trust I executed an Amended and Restated Note in favor of Fortress, dated October 29, 2010 (the “Amended and Restated Note”), in the face amount of $25,763,950 which modifies, restates and replaces that certain Note, dated as of November 10, 2008, executed by Trust I in the original face amount of $34,891,977 (the “Existing Note”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Administrative Agent and Lenders (as such terms are defined in the First Amendment) (i) consented to the Sale and Assignment Agreement discussed below and (ii) waived all prior events of default under the Trust I Credit Agreement and the accrual and collection of default rate interest in connection with such events of default for the period from September 1, 2010 through October 29, 2010. In addition, the parties agreed that certain ineligible receivables acquired by Trust I under the Trust I Purchase Agreement would be repurchased by Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund LP (“Drawbridge”), or one of its affiliates, for an amount equal to $176,964. These ineligible receivables were sold pursuant to the Ineligible Receivables Sale and Assignment Agreement discussed below. Also, the CLST Parties and the Fortress Parties (as each is defined in the First Amendment) agreed to a mutual release which released and discharged all claims, demands and causes of action they may have against one another related to the Trust I Credit Agreement, the Trust II Credit Agreement and certain other related transaction documents. The First Amendment also amended certain terms and conditions of the Trust I Credit Agreement including, among others (i) the definitions of “Change of Control,” “Defaulted Receivable,” “Facility Amount” and “Interest Rate” and (ii) the Annualized Default Rate triggers and Delinquent Accounts Ratio triggers.

In connection with the Trust I and Trust II Settlement Transactions, Trust I entered into a Sale and Assignment, effective as of August 31, 2010 (the “Sale and Assignment Agreement”), with Trust II, whereby Trust I purchased from Trust II its portfolio of receivables along with all related security and rights to income and proceeds from the receivables for a purchase price of approximately $5.9 million. Also, Trust I entered into a Sale and Assignment, effective as of October 29, 2010 (the “Ineligible Receivables Sale and Assignment Agreement”),

with 50-by-50 LLC, an affiliate of Drawbridge (the “Buyer”), whereby Trust I sold certain ineligible receivables acquired under the Trust I Purchase Agreement to Buyer for an amount equal to $176,964.

Copies of the First Amendment, Amended and Restated Note, Sale and Assignment Agreement and Ineligible Receivables Sale and Assignment Agreement are being furnished as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
