Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Operating Agreement
On July 3, 2014, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (the Company, Corinthian, we, us or other similar terms) and its wholly- and partially- owned subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the U.S. Department of Education (ED) on the other hand, entered into an Operating Agreement, implementing the Memorandum of Understanding previously agreed upon by the Company and ED on June 22, 2014 (the Memorandum).
As set forth in the recitals to the Operating Agreement, the guiding principles followed by the Company and ED in preparing the Operating Agreement were to provide for a plan that would (i) provide the Companys students an opportunity to complete their education without material interruption, change or additional cost; (ii) treat the Companys faculty and staff in a manner that causes minimal personal and financial disruption; and (iii) consider the importance of the Companys responsibilities to students, employees, and taxpayers, and respect the interests of the government and the Companys federal and state law obligations (including fiduciary duties) and contractual obligations.
Section I of the Operating Agreement requires the Company to provide certain information to ED, some of which was provided prior to or contemporaneously with the signing of the Operating Agreement and others of which are to be provided prospectively. The required information includes cash flow forecasts for the Company, asset lists, information regarding the Companys schools and information regarding the Companys students.
Section II of the Operating Agreement provides, among other matters, that EDs current HCM-1 disbursement method for the Company and the attendant 21-day disbursement delay will remain in effect until ED provides further notice, but effective July 8, 2014 (the Effective Date), ED will, subject to compliance by the Company with the procedures set forth in the Operating Agreement, allow the Company to drawdown Title IV student aid funds on a weekly basis, as an advance against the 21-day disbursement delay. The procedures to be followed by the Company will include certain disbursement verifications by an independent student financial aid auditor to be selected by the Company and approved by ED, and by an individual appointed by ED who will serve as an independent monitor of the Company and report to ED (the Monitor). The Company is not permitted to enter into any contractual agreements with students between the date the Operating Agreement was signed and the Effective Date. In addition, ED may defer access to Title IV funds for any institution if it determines that the Company has not produced the placement rate and other materials requested that are related to that institution by a date specified.
Section III of the Operating Agreement provides, among other matters, for the engagement of the Monitor, including the scope of his or her responsibilities. The Company has agreed to provide the Monitor full and complete access to the Companys personnel and budgets, including financial projections, results of operations, cash receipts and disbursements, student records, databases and any and all documents the Company is providing to potential buyers, accreditors, lenders, state authorizing agencies and ED. The Monitors responsibilities include: reviewing
2
supporting records prior to submission of such records by the Company for drawdown of Title IV funds; reviewing weekly lists of Company expenditures and reporting to ED on the permissibility of such expenditures from Title IV funds; confirming the implementation of each teach-out of a Company school is materially consistent with the approved teach-out plan for such school; prior to the Companys weekly drawdown of Title IV funds, confirming the Company is in material compliance with the agreed timetable for the production of documents by the Company to ED; monitoring the status of all school sales processes and providing monthly reports to ED; receiving access to and reviewing the existing multiple access points for internal and external complaints about the Company and reporting material relevant complaints to ED; and periodically reporting to ED and the Company the Monitors findings with respect to any violations of the Operating Agreement, new or threatened litigation against the Company or any of its institutions, and any material developments in the Companys financial situation or in existing litigation.
Section IV of the Operating Agreement limits the Companys use of Title IV student aid funds to funding the normal daily operations and expenses of the Company, which categories are set forth in an exhibit to the Operating Agreement and include student refunds, payroll expenses, operating expenses, interest and related fees, and related professional fees. The Company has agreed that from and after the Effective Date, it will not use Title IV student aid funds to pay dividends, legal settlements of lawsuits or investigations, or debt repayments. Additionally, bonuses, severance payments, raises and retention agreements being considered must be discussed with the Monitor and reported to ED at least two weeks prior to the creation of contractual obligations and payment and are subject to ED approval. The Monitor is to be provided full access to review all disbursements by the Company to confirm compliance with the terms of the Operating Agreement.
Section V of the Operating Agreement requires the Company to provide notices to current and prospective students as to the status of the schools and the options and protections afforded to students. The Company must provide the notices to ED for review and approval prior to use and is also required to obtain certain written acknowledgements from students with respect to those schools and programs that are being taught out or sold.
Section VI of the Operating Agreement provides, among other matters, for the Company to discontinue enrolling new students at those schools designated in the Operating Agreement to be taught out and closed thereafter (the Teach-out Schools). With respect to new students who enrolled in a Teach-out School between June 22, 2014 (the date of the Memorandum) and the Effective Date, those students would have the option to either: (i) obtain a Full Refund (as defined below) and discontinue their education at the Teach-out School, and the Company would forgive entirely all tuition and other fees charged the student for the program; or (ii) continue their education in the ordinary course. If the student does not affirmatively make a choice, the Company must withdraw the student from the program and issue the student a Full Refund. With respect to students enrolled at a Teach-out School prior to June 22, 2014, the Company must provide each such student one of the following two plans at the time of the announcement of the teach-out: (a) the Company may provide for the student to continue his or her program of study as he or she normally would (which may mean transferring to a comparable program of study at a comparable school at no additional cost above the amount such student would have
3
been charged to continue attending the Companys school); or (b) the Company may provide for the student to withdraw from school and receive a Full Refund. The Company would be required to provide an internal appeals process whereby the student could appeal the decision by the Company to continue the student in a teach-out rather than permit the student to receive a Full Refund. If the Company is not able or fails to pay the Full Refund where required, ED will offset the appropriate amount from the Companys next Title IV aid funding disbursement and apply that amount to the accounts of the affected students. With respect to students who enroll in programs that the Company closes without permitting the students to complete the program, and not in accordance with a previously agreed teach-out plan, the Company would be obligated to provide a Full Refund to such students. With respect to students attending schools that are found by ED to be ineligible for recertification or otherwise determined to be ineligible for participation in Title IV, the Company would be obligated to provide students their choice of: (x) continuing his or her program of study at the school pursuant to the Closeout Procedures in applicable federal regulations; or (y) withdrawing from the school and obtaining a Full Refund. ED will provide the Company with an informal review at least 14 days in advance of a decision to deny recertification of a Company institution. The Company has agreed that it would stop enrolling students immediately for any institution where the Company has been advised that ED intends to deny the recertification for that institution, and if the recertification denial is issued, the Company will immediately add that institution to the Companys teach-out plan.
For purposes of the Operating Agreement, a Full Refund means a full refund of the total direct costs of attendance (defined in the Operating Agreement to mean tuition and fees, equipment, books and supplies, and any other costs incurred by the student to the extent such amounts were paid to the school) incurred by such student, in which case the Company would be required to (i) return to ED any Federal Pell and other Federal grants and Federal student loans disbursed to such student, (ii) repay to any lender from whom the Company received direct disbursements for such students cost of attendance at the Company the amount of such disbursements, and (iii) return any amounts received directly from such student to such student.
The Operating Agreement also provides that the Company and ED will work together to establish a reserve fund to support student refunds. The total amount of the fund will be determined in consultation with the Monitor, but will be no less than $30 million.
Section VII of the Operating Agreement provides for the Company to prepare and deliver to ED contingency teach-out plans by July 22, 2014 for all of its U.S. locations that participate in the Title IV Program. These plans may include agreements with other institutions to take over the teach-out process or funding mechanisms, as applicable. The Company has identified 12 schools that it plans to teach-out, and has agreed to suspend new enrollments at those schools no later than one day after the Effective Date.
Section VIII of the Operating Agreement required the Company to fully comply with the prioritized list of data requested by ED before the Operating Agreement was executed. In addition, any data request made by ED on or after the date of the Operating Agreement must be complied with within thirty days (or such other reasonably agreed time frame).
4
Section IX of the Operating Agreement references an exhibit to the Operating Agreement that sets forth a list of the schools attended by Title IV eligible students that the Company will make a diligent, good faith effort to sell to new owners (the Sale Schools). All schools attended by Title IV-eligible students that are not listed on the exhibit as a Sale School are instead designated a Teach-out School. The Company will provide reasonable access to the Monitor of material indications of interest, letters of intent or binding agreements with respect to Sale Schools. The Company will seek to reach definitive sale agreements for any Sale School within six months of the Effective Date; provided that any sale or transfer of assets shall be subject to approval by ED, in accordance with its statutory and regulatory authority.
Section X of the Operating Agreement contains a reservation of rights by ED with respect to its ability to regulate the Company. This Section also confirms that the Company is not, by virtue of the Operating Agreement, exempted from any federal or state regulatory or statutory requirements, and further provides that the Operating Agreement shall not be construed to preempt any action or authority of any state or federal governmental agencys efforts to enforce its education, consumer protection, false advertising, unfair competition or securities laws. ED may defer access to Title IV funding if it determines that the Company has materially failed to produce requested documentation by the date specified and ED is unable to substantiate the veracity and accuracy of the documentation after consultation with the Company.
Section XI of the Operating Agreement provides for ED and the Company to work closely with state licensing and accreditation agencies in the course of implementation of the teach-outs and sales contemplated by the Operating Agreement, in accordance with the requirements of ED and each such agency.
Section XII of the Operating Agreement provides for ED and the Company to review the status of the Operating Agreement three months and six months after the Effective Date and confirms that nothing in the Operating Agreement is intended or construed to prevent the Company from exercising its business and managerial judgments with respect to (i) the Companys contractual obligations to its stakeholders, including students, employees, creditors, vendors and other counterparties, or (ii) the fiduciary duties of the Companys board of directors, including duties with respect to approving the terms and conditions, including consideration, of the sales of any schools or other assets of the Company. Each party may terminate the Operating Agreement upon written notice to the other party, which termination would be effective five calendar days after the date of the written notice.
The foregoing summary of the Operating Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Operating Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
First Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding
On July 3, 2014, the Company and ED also entered into a First Amendment to the Memorandum (the Memorandum Amendment).
5
The principal purpose of the Memorandum Amendment is to permit the Company to drawdown Title IV student aid funds until the advance funding mechanism contemplated by the Operating Agreement is effective. The maximum aggregate amount of Title IV student aid funds the Company may drawdown under the Memorandum Amendment is $35 million.
The foregoing summary of the Memorandum Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Memorandum Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
The Company believes the Operating Agreement and the Memorandum Amendment are positive steps for the Company and all of its stakeholders. However, depending on the timing of the Companys asset sales and its ability to further reduce operating costs, the Company may still need to obtain additional sources of liquidity to fund its operations and to implement the agreements contemplated by the Operating Agreement. To do so, the Company may continue to seek additional sources of liquidity through new financings, additional cost reductions, accelerated asset sales or some combination thereof. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any such additional needed liquidity on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to it, or at all.
In addition, as previously reported by the Company, ED has indicated that, in connection with its ongoing review of the Company and its schools, it is contemplating denial of recertification or removal of certification of institutional Title IV eligibility with respect to certain of the Companys schools, which, depending on the schools, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 2, 2014, the Company received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (Nasdaq) stating that the bid price of the Companys common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Company has been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 29, 2014, to regain compliance. The letter states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has regained compliance if at any time before December 29, 2014, the bid price of the Companys common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance by December 29, 2014, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the letter states that the Nasdaq staff will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days.
6
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) prior to the expiration of the 180-day period (or such later date as Nasdaq may provide by extension), Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting.
Delisting could have a material adverse effect on the price of the Companys shares and the Companys ability to issue additional securities or secure financing. In the event of delisting, trading of the Companys common stock would most likely be conducted in the over the counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities, which would adversely affect the liquidity of the common stock and analysts coverage of the Company could be reduced.

For purposes of this Agreement, Corinthian and the Department shall be referred to individually as a Party and collectively as the Parties.
Recitals
A. WHEREAS, the Department and Corinthian previously entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated June 22, 2014 (MOU), wherein Corinthian agreed to present an Operating Agreement by July 1, 2014 for the Departments approval, and, subject to negotiation, agreement.
B. WHEREAS, the Department and Corinthian agree that the Operating Agreement will attempt to provide Corinthian students an opportunity to complete their education without material interruption, change, or additional cost;
C. WHEREAS, the Department and Corinthian agree that the Operating Agreement will attempt to treat Corinthians faculty and staff in a manner that causes minimal personal and financial disruption; and
D. WHEREAS, the Parties agree that the Operating Agreement would consider the importance of Corinthians responsibilities to students, employees, and taxpayers, and respect the interests of the government and Corinthians federal and state law obligations (including fiduciary duties) and contractual obligations.
1
Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings contained herein, Corinthian and the Department hereby agree as follows:
I. Financial and Operational Information
A. Corinthian has provided the following to the Department for review:
1. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, a 13-week cash flow projection prepared by Corinthian and reviewed and submitted by the Companys Chief Restructuring Officer, a Senior Managing Director of FTI Consulting, Inc. (the CRO) as of June 30, 2014.
2. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, a detailed list of Corinthians assets as reflected on Corinthians internal accounting records as of May 31, 2014, attested to as being materially true and correct to the best knowledge of the CEO or CFO of Corinthian, subject to audit adjustments, month end closing adjustments and other adjustments to conform the statements to Corinthians typical quarterly public financial presentation. In addition, Corinthian shall provide a list of all acquisitions and dispositions of assets, and other non-ordinary course transactions of more than $500,000 occurring after May 31, 2014 attested to as being materially true and correct to the best knowledge of the CEO or CFO of Corinthian.
3. Before the Effective Date, Corinthian shall provide to the Department a list of its Title IV-eligible locations, specifying the addresses of such locations as reflected on the existing Eligibility and Certification Approval Report of each location, as well as the approved programs of study at each such location and a list of the full direct costs (tuition, books, equipment, and fees) of those programs of study at those locations.
2
4. Before the Effective Date, Corinthian shall provide to the Department a list of all Title IV-eligible students who were enrolled in each of Corinthians Title IV-eligible institutions as of June 30, 2014, indicating whether the student is enrolled in distance education or in-person, by program of study, specifying the students state of residence, enrollment date, campus, and anticipated program completion date.
B. On or prior to every Thursday on a weekly basis, Corinthian shall provide an updated 13-week cash flow projection, in substantially the same form as delivered pursuant to Section I.A.1 or such other form as the Monitor (defined below) may agree, for the thirteen (13) week period commencing on the following Monday, prepared by Corinthian and reviewed by and submitted by the Companys CRO to the Monitor. The projection shall show cash receipts disaggregated by source.
II. Federal Student Aid Funds; Department Review of Student Rosters
A. The Departments current HCM-1 disbursement method for Corinthian and the attendant 21-day disbursement delay will remain in effect until the Department provides further notice.
B. Effective July 8, 2014, the Department will allow Corinthian to draw down Title IV student aid funds on a weekly basis, as an advance against the 21-day disbursement delay described in Section II.A above, for student rosters that it submitted to the Department. Weekly draws will continue as additional Title IV student aid funds become available, as a continual weekly advance against the 21-day disbursement delay described in Section II.A above, for student rosters that Corinthian will submit to the Department in accordance with Section II.D and in accordance with additional review procedures as set forth in Sections II.D and III.C.1 below.
3
C. The Department may defer access to Title IV funds for any institution if it determines that Corinthian has not produced the placement rate and other materials requested that are related to that institution by the date specified. The deferral will continue until the Department receives the materials requested. Responses to subsequent requests for information shall be subject to a mutually agreeable schedule determined by the Parties.
The continuation of advance drawdowns is conditioned on the post-disbursement verification, by an independent qualified student financial aid auditor (Title IV Auditor) selected by Corinthian and approved by the Monitor and the Department, that the rosters Corinthian has submitted for drawdowns are materially complete, accurate and appropriate. The Title IV Auditors verification, subject to review by the Monitor, will include reviewing an appropriate sample of the students included on the rosters, and that Corinthian has paid, or subtracted from any drawdowns, all returns owed to the Title IV student aid programs with respect to any students. The Title IV Auditor shall review samples and verify the accuracy of information, including relevant student information, program participation information and documentation confirming financial aid eligibility, attendance and satisfactory academic progress, and items identified in the Verification Checklist attached at Exhibit A. The Title IV Auditor will submit the results of the weekly review, including any relevant error percentages and detailed findings, to the appointed Monitor on a weekly basis. The Monitor will report the results to the Department consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Title IV Auditors bills will all be paid promptly by Corinthian upon submission.
The Monitor will review a random sample of student rosters on a school-by-school basis to confirm that no disbursements are being requested for locations that have been determined ineligible or for
4
which data and documentation have not been substantially provided by July 15, 2014, where substantially provided means that all data and documentation have been provided other than a de minimus amount that does not materially limit the Departments ability to evaluate the data and documentation in the aggregate; and provided further, however, that substantial provision does not relieve Corinthian of its obligation to produce all responsive materials. The Monitor shall notify the Department of any discrepancies before Corinthian submits the rosters to the Department for payment.
D. At least 24 hours prior to each requested draw of Title IV student aid funds, Corinthian will provide to the Department a list of the students, by campus, for which such payments are requested. The amount of any draws of Title IV federal student aid funds for those students will be reconciled to the date Corinthian provides the list to the Department. This list will identify the OPEID of the institution the students are attending, and each students social security number, current address, current telephone number, program of study, requested payment amount, date of enrollment, expected graduation date, prior disbursement amounts by program for the current enrollment, current disbursement amounts by program, and whether the student is still in attendance.
E. During the period between the date of signing and July 8, 2014, there will be no contractual agreements entered into between Corinthian and any new students.
III. Independent Monitor
A. The Department shall identify an individual who shall serve as an independent monitor of Corinthian and report solely to the Department (the Monitor). Corinthian shall enter into an agreement with the Monitor consistent with the scope outlined below and such other terms and conditions as shall be mutually satisfactory to the Monitor, Corinthian and the Department.
5
Corinthian shall be solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the Monitor and shall set aside initially Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to pay the Monitors fees and costs promptly.
B. The Monitor will have full and complete access to Corinthian personnel and budgets, including financial projections, results of operations and cash receipts and disbursements (including, without limitation, disbursements of any Title IV student aid funds), student records, databases (including Campus Vue) and any and all documents Corinthian is providing to potential buyers, accreditors, lenders, state authorizing agencies, and the Department.
C. The duties and responsibilities of the Monitor shall be as follows:
1. The Monitor will review Corinthians rosters prior to submission of any rosters for drawdowns in accordance with this section. The Monitors review will include campus eligibility based on information provided by the Department and consistency with the teach-out plan where applicable. The Monitor will receive a report from the Title IV Auditor regarding the results of the post-disbursement verification process;
2. Corinthian will provide the Monitor a list of the expenditures made each week, and the Monitor shall review and report to the Department on the allowability of the expenditures from Title IV funds, consistent with Section IV below;
3. Confirm that the implementation of each teach-out is materially consistent with the written plans prepared by Corinthian and approved by relevant accrediting and state licensing agencies, and accepted by the Department, subject to amendment or modification of such plans as approved by the state licensing agencies and accrediting agencies, and disclosed to the Monitor;
6
4. Prior to the submission of each weekly drawdown of Title IV funds by Corinthian, confirm that Corinthian is in material compliance with the agreed timetable for the production of documents, including any follow-up document requests and agreed-upon timetables with respect thereto;
5. Monitor the status of all school sales processes and provide monthly reports to the Department;
6. Receive access to, and review, the existing multiple access points for internal and external complaints about Corinthian (including a toll free phone number for a hot line) and report material relevant complaints to the Department on a schedule agreed to by the Department and Corinthian;
7. Periodically report his or her findings with respect to (i) any violations of this Agreement, (ii) new or threatened litigation against Corinthian or any of its institutions, and (iii) any material developments in its financial situation or in existing litigation to the Department and Corinthian in accordance with such schedule as the Department may prescribe.
D. Except in the performance of his or her obligations under this Agreement concerning reporting to the Department, the Monitor shall be subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to any books, records, and other private, proprietary or personally-identifiable information about Corinthian, its students, and employees. The Parties agree that all materials provided to the Monitor or the Department marked as Business Confidential shall be reviewed to determine if those materials are exempt from disclosure pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) respecting exemption from disclosure of confidential or privileged Business or Trade Information.
E. Corinthian shall promptly disclose to the Monitor any changes to teach-out plans and agreements, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, new litigation, and material court
7
judgments and substantive orders issued on all material litigation, and in the event such actions and activities have not promptly been disclosed to the Department by Corinthian, the Monitor shall promptly so inform the Department.
F. Subject to Section III.D, the Monitor shall provide the Department with access to any and all documents reviewed and relied upon in discharging the obligations specified herein.
G. Notify the Department of any actual known violation of state or federal laws or regulations, including the regulations of the Department.
H. The Monitor shall have such authorities that are necessary and proper to the performance of his or her duties herein.
I. If the Monitor cannot be secured by the date this Agreement becomes effective, the Department will assign a temporary Monitor.
IV. Allowable and Excluded Uses Associated with Title IV Student Aid Funds
A. From and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Corinthian agrees that it shall only use Title IV student aid funds to fund the normal daily operations and expenses as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, including student refunds, payroll expenses (including retention arrangements), accounts payable, interest and related fees, and related professional fees. Corinthian agrees that, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, it will not use Title IV student aid funds to pay dividends, legal settlements of lawsuits or investigations, or debt repayments. Additionally, bonuses, severance payments, raises and retention agreements being considered shall be discussed with the Monitor and reported to the Department at least two weeks prior to the creation of contractual obligations and payment and subject to the approval of the Department.
8
B. From and after the appointment of the Monitor, the Monitor (as defined below) shall have full access to review all disbursements by Corinthian in order to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
V. Notices by Corinthian to Current and Prospective Students
A. Corinthian will provide notices and disclosures to current and prospective students as to the status of the schools and the options and protections afforded to the students. Corinthian shall produce the notices and disclosures to the Department for review and approval before using the notices and disclosures to current and prospective students. The Department may, at any time, request that such notices and disclosures be revised and Corinthian shall produce such revised notices and disclosures to the Department for review and approval. With respect to Teach-Out Schools, Corinthian shall be required to obtain written acknowledgement that the student has read the notice and disclosures. With respect to Sales Schools, Corinthian shall be required to obtain written acknowledgment that a student who enrolls after the effective date of this agreement has read the notice and disclosures.
Corinthian will endeavor to obtain written acknowledgement from each student whose program it completes teaching that the program has been taught to completion.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, nothing herein shall be read to prohibit or constrain any additional disclosures that may be sought by any state or federal authority or accrediting agency or ordered by any state or federal court.
VI. Teach-outs or Full Refunds to Corinthian Students for Tuition, Fees, and Other Direct Educational Charges in Certain Circumstances
A. Upon signing this Agreement, Corinthian will discontinue enrolling new students in any schools designated in this Agreement
9
to be taught out and closed thereafter (the Teach-out Schools). Promptly (and in no event more than one week) after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Corinthian shall provide written notice to all students attending the Teach-Out Schools of the intent to teach out those schools.
B. With respect to new students who enrolled in a Teach-Out School between the date of the MOU and the Effective Date of this Agreement, Corinthian shall promptly provide such students with disclosures regarding options to be developed, reviewed and approved as described in Section V.A, which shall provide for students their choice to either (i) obtain a Full Refund (as defined below) and discontinue their education at the Teach-out School, and Corinthian shall forgive entirely all tuition and other fees charged the student for the program, or (ii) continue their education in the ordinary course. If a student does not affirmatively make a choice, Corinthian shall withdraw the student from the program and issue the student a Full Refund (as defined below).
C. With respect to students enrolled at a Teach-Out School prior to the date of the MOU, Corinthian shall give each such students one of the following plans at the time of the announcement of the teach-out: 1) continue his or her program of study as he or she normally would (which may mean transferring to a comparable program of study at a comparable school at no additional cost above the amount such student would have been charged to attend the Corinthian school); or 2) withdraw from school and receive a Full Refund of the total direct costs of attendance incurred by such student, and, in that case, Corinthian shall (i) return to the Department any Federal Pell and other Federal grants and Federal student loan funds disbursed to such student, (ii) repay to any private student loan or other lender from whom Corinthian received direct disbursements for such students cost of attendance at Corinthian the amount of such disbursements, and shall reimburse the student any origination and other fees, if any,
10
incurred by the student in obtaining such private student loan, and (iii) return any amounts received directly from such student to such student, a Full Refund. Corinthian shall provide a bona fide internal appeals process whereby a student can appeal the decision by Corinthian to continue the student in a teach-out rather than permit the student to receive a Full Refund. Corinthian shall provide the Monitor with access to all documents and personnel involved in the appeals process. If a students appeal is granted, Corinthian shall withdraw the student from the program and issue the student a Full Refund. In the case that Corinthian is unable or fails to pay the Full Refunds where required, the Department will offset the appropriate amount from Corinthians next Title IV aid funding disbursement and apply that amount to the accounts of the affected students. For the avoidance of doubt, the definition of Full Refund shall not require Corinthian to return any amounts pursuant to this Section VI in excess of direct costs, or otherwise used by the student to pay indirect expenses. For purposes of this Section VI, direct costs shall mean tuition and fees, equipment, books and supplies, and any other costs incurred by the student to the extent such amounts were paid to the school.
D. With respect to students who enroll in programs that Corinthian closes without permitting the students to complete the program, and not in accordance with a previously agreed-upon teach-out plan, Corinthian shall provide a Full Refund to such students.
E. With respect to students attending schools that are found by the Department to be ineligible for recertification or otherwise determined to be ineligible for participation in Title IV programs, Corinthian shall provide students their choice of one of the following options at the time such denial of re-certification of Title IV eligibility becomes final: 1) continue his or her program of study at the school pursuant to 34 CFR §668.26 (End of an institutions participation in the Title IV, HEA programs); or 2) withdraw from school and receive a Full Refund. The Department
11
will provide Corinthian with an informal review at least 14 days in advance of a decision to deny recertification of a Corinthian institution. Corinthian will stop enrolling students immediately at an institution where it has been advised that the Department may intend to deny the recertification for that institution, and if the recertification denial is issued Corinthian will immediately add that institution to the Teach-Out plan previously submitted by Corinthian to the accreditors and the Department, and further detailed in Section VII below. Before making disclosures to third parties about this information, Corinthian will consult the Department and the Parties shall agree to any such disclosure. The Department may issue a recertification denial less than 14 days after providing notice to Corinthian under this Agreement if Corinthian shares information concerning the recertification denial with any third party that was not agreed to.
F. Corinthian and the Department will work together to establish a reserve fund, that will be placed in an interest bearing escrow account, to be used exclusively for student refunds. The total amount of the fund will be determined in consultation with the Monitor but will be no less than $30 million.
VII. Closure and Teach-Out Provisions
A. Attached as Exhibit C is a generalized template for Corinthian teach-out plans. By July 22, 2014, Corinthian shall prepare teach-out plans for all of its U.S. locations that participate in the Title IV Program, in compliance with the requirements of their applicable accrediting agencies, and shall deliver these teach-out plans to the Department by such date. These plans may include agreements with other institutions to take over the teach-out process or funding mechanisms, as applicable. Corinthian will suspend new enrollments at the Teach-Out Schools promptly, but no later than one (1) day after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
12
VIII. Corinthian Responses to Data Requests
A. Corinthian will fully comply with the prioritized list of data requested by the Department before this Agreement is executed. With respect to the 2010 data concerning Heald, a component of the prioritized list of data referenced in the preceding sentence, Corinthian will comply with the request by July 15, 2014. The Department is still reviewing and substantiating the data included in the referenced prioritized list of data. Any data request made by the Department on or after the date of this Agreement shall be complied with within 30 days (or such other reasonably agreed time frame).
IX. Sales Schools
A. Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a list of the schools attended by Title IV eligible students that Corinthian will make a diligent, good faith effort to sell to new owners (the Sale Schools). All schools attended by Title IV-eligible students that are not listed as a Sale School are hereby designated a Teach Out School.
B. Corinthian will provide reasonable access to the Monitor of material indications of interest, letters of intent or binding agreements with respect to the Sale Schools.
C. Corinthian will endeavor to reach definitive sale agreements for any Sale Schools within six months from the Effective Date of this Agreement.

C. The Department reserves its rights pursuant to statutory and regulatory authority to modify the funding method and documentation requirements for any or all of the Corinthian institutions. The Department may defer access to Title IV funding described herein if it determines that Corinthian has materially failed to produce requested documentation by the date specified and the Department is unable to substantiate the veracity and accuracy of the documentation after notification to Corinthian. This Agreement does not exempt Corinthian from any federal or state regulatory or statutory requirements. Nor does it prohibit or in any way limit the Departments discretion or authority to take further action under its statutory or regulatory authority with respect to Corinthian.
D. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preempt or conflict with any action or authority of any state or federal governmental agency or authority, including but not limited to any state or federal governmental agencys efforts to enforce its education, consumer protection, false advertising, unfair competition or securities laws. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of any other entity to establish more stringent disclosure requirements.

XI. Coordination with States and Accreditors

14
of implementation of the teach-outs and sales contemplated in this Agreement, in accordance with the requirements of the Department and each such agency.
XII. Miscellaneous
A. The Parties agree that they shall review the status of this Agreement three and six months after its Effective Date.
B. Nothing in this Agreement is intended nor should be construed to prevent Corinthian from exercising its business and managerial judgments with respect to (i) the contractual obligations of Corinthian to its stakeholders, including students, employees, creditors, vendors and other counterparties, or (ii) the fiduciary duties of Corinthians Board imposed by judicial decisions, statutory enactments or regulatory requirements including, without limitation, duties with respect to approving the terms and conditions, including consideration of the sales of any schools or other assets of Corinthian.
C. This Agreement is solely between the Department and Corinthian and does not, and is not intended to, confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties.
D. Each Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party, and each Party is required to meet its respective obligations under the Agreement for the period when the Agreement was in effect. The effective date of the termination will be five calendar days after the date of the written notice.
15

Exhibit 10.2
First Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding
This First Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding (this Amendment) is made July 3, 2014, between Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and its wholly- and partially-owned subsidiaries (Corinthian) and the U.S. Department of Education (the Department). This Amendment amends the Memorandum of Understanding entered into June 22, 2014, by and between the Department and Corinthian (the Original MOU). Contemporaneously with the execution of this Amendment, Corinthian and the Department have executed and delivered an Operating Agreement which is effective as July 8, 2014 (the Operating Agreement).
Agreement
1. The following paragraphs will be added to the Original MOU, at the end of the Section entitled Immediate Funding:
· Effective as of the date of this Amendment, the Department will allow Corinthian to draw down Title IV student aid funds as an advance against the 21-day delay for student rosters that it will submit by July 7, 2014, and Corinthian may continue to be allowed to draw down Title IV student aid funds for student rosters that it will submit (which rosters it may submit through July 11, 2014), in an aggregate amount not to exceed $35 million (the Amendment Advance). In order to draw down the Amendment Advance, Corinthian must first satisfy the following conditions:
· Provide to the Department a detailed list of assets as described in Section I.A.2 of the Operating Agreement.
· Provide the Department with a schedule of the disbursements for which the Amendment Advance will be used, which disbursements shall comply with the requirements of Section IV.A of the Operating Agreement.
1
· Provide the Department with the data and documents described in an email dated June 30, 2014 from the Department to Corinthian.
· The agreement to provide immediate funding described in this Amendment is conditioned on substantiation by Corinthian, on timely demand by the Department, that the data submitted is accurate and that it is entitled to the Title IV student aid funds it claims, and any further funding will be conditioned on the results of the Departments subsequent timely review of this data. The Departments requests for substantiation of the accuracy of data submitted shall be consistent with ordinary course HCM-1 disbursement processing and the data elements described in the second succeeding bullet point below.
· In order to request the Amendment Advance, Corinthian will provide a list of eligible students for whom disbursements will be requested, including for each student: OPEID of the institution the student is attending, Name, Social Security Number, Date of Enrollment, Expected Graduation Date, Prior Disbursement Amounts by Program, and Current Disbursement Amounts by Program.
2. The second paragraph under the heading Appointment of Monitor in the Original MOU is amended to delete the parenthetical therein and replace it with the following: (including, without limitation, any disbursements made pursuant to the terms of this MOU, as amended).
3. This Amendment does not supersede any of the Departments statutory and regulatory authorities and responsibilities.
