ITEM 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 12, 2011, Resource TRS II, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant, entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to purchase 100% of the membership interests of Churchill Pacific Asset Management LLC (“CPAM”) from Churchill Financial Holdings LLC (the “Seller”).  CPAM is the collateral manager under five collateral management agreements related to collateralized loan obligations totaling approximately $1.9 billion.

Closing of the transaction is expected to take place on or about February 28, 2011 and the aggregate consideration that we will pay upon closing is $22.5 million, paid in cash.  The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions for transactions of this type.  No break-up or similar fees are payable to the Seller if the purchase agreement is terminated.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants indemnities and other provisions customary for transactions of this type.  Pursuant to a Guaranty dated as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, the registrant has agreed to guaranty the Purchaser’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

A press release announcing the transaction described above is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
