 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;13, 2013, Stonegate Mortgage Corporation (&#147;Stonegate&#148;) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
&#147;Agreement&#148;) with Crossline Capital, Inc., a California corporation (&#147;Crossline&#148;), and Timothy R. Elkins, the sole shareholder of Crossline (the &#147;Seller&#148;), that provides for Stonegate to purchase from Seller all of the
outstanding capital stock of Crossline. The Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Agreement provides for Stonegate&#146;s purchase from the Seller of all the outstanding capital stock of Crossline for a cash purchase
price equal to 1.3 times book value as of the closing date, subject to adjustment and subject to potential increase pursuant to certain contingent payments. The contingent payment provisions provide for: (i)&nbsp;payments to be made upon the signing
of letters of intent by Crossline with companies satisfying the geographic and other requirements specified in the Agreement that provide for those companies&#146; licensed mortgage loan originators to become Stonegate employees, and (ii)&nbsp;an
earnout applicable during the two-year period following the closing. At the closing, the amount of $500,000 will be held back to cover Mr.&nbsp;Elkins&#146; indemnification obligations under the Agreement. To the extent Stonegate&#146;s claims for
indemnification do not exceed this amount, the holdback will be released to Seller over the three-year period subsequent to the closing. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of Stonegate, Crossline and the Seller including, among others, covenants
that require (i)&nbsp;the Seller and Crossline to conduct Crossline&#146;s business in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Agreement and the effective time of the acquisition or earlier termination of the Agreement and
(ii)&nbsp;the Seller to cause Crossline not to engage in certain types of transactions during such period. In the Agreement, the Seller agrees for a period of thirty-six months after the closing date not to compete in certain specified states or to
solicit former Crossline employees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consummation of the acquisition is subject to various conditions, including the absence of any law or
order prohibiting the closing and the Seller&#146;s entry into an employment agreement with Stonegate in an agreed-upon form. In addition, each party&#146;s obligation to consummate the acquisition is subject to certain other conditions, including
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party. Subject to the closing conditions, the parties anticipate completing the acquisition during December 2013. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Agreement may be terminated by the mutual consent of Stonegate and Seller. In addition, subject to the conditions specified in the
Agreement, the Agreement may be terminated for uncured breaches of representations and warranties, the initiation or threat of any action or proceeding against one or more of the parties to enjoin, restrain or prohibit the transactions contemplated
by the Agreement, if the closing has not occurred by December&nbsp;31, 2013, or if the required regulatory approvals have not been received or, if received, are unduly burdensome to Stonegate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement.

"Agreement") with Crossline Capital, Inc., a California corporation ("Crossline"), and Timothy R. Elkins, the sole shareholder of Crossline (the "Seller"), that provides for Stonegate to purchase from Seller all of the
outstanding capital stock of Crossline. The Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Agreement provides for Stonegate's purchase from the Seller of all the outstanding capital stock of Crossline for a cash purchase
price equal to 1.3 times book value as of the closing date, subject to adjustment and subject to potential increase pursuant to certain contingent payments. The contingent payment provisions provide for: (i) payments to be made upon the signing
of letters of intent by Crossline with companies satisfying the geographic and other requirements specified in the Agreement that provide for those companies' licensed mortgage loan originators to become Stonegate employees, and (ii) an
earnout applicable during the two-year period following the closing. At the closing, the amount of $500,000 will be held back to cover Mr. Elkins' indemnification obligations under the Agreement. To the extent Stonegate's claims for
indemnification do not exceed this amount, the holdback will be released to Seller over the three-year period subsequent to the closing.
The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of Stonegate, Crossline and the Seller including, among others, covenants
that require (i) the Seller and Crossline to conduct Crossline's business in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Agreement and the effective time of the acquisition or earlier termination of the Agreement and
(ii) the Seller to cause Crossline not to engage in certain types of transactions during such period. In the Agreement, the Seller agrees for a period of thirty-six months after the closing date not to compete in certain specified states or to
solicit former Crossline employees.
Consummation of the acquisition is subject to various conditions, including the absence of any law or
order prohibiting the closing and the Seller's entry into an employment agreement with Stonegate in an agreed-upon form. In addition, each party's obligation to consummate the acquisition is subject to certain other conditions, including
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party. Subject to the closing conditions, the parties anticipate completing the acquisition during December 2013.
The Agreement may be terminated by the mutual consent of Stonegate and Seller. In addition, subject to the conditions specified in the
Agreement, the Agreement may be terminated for uncured breaches of representations and warranties, the initiation or threat of any action or proceeding against one or more of the parties to enjoin, restrain or prohibit the transactions contemplated
by the Agreement, if the closing has not occurred by December 31, 2013, or if the required regulatory approvals have not been received or, if received, are unduly burdensome to Stonegate.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement.
