THIRD AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIRD
AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This
THIRD AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Amendment”), dated August 7,
2008, but effective as of June 30, 2008, is among Resource
America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), TD BANK, N.A. (successor by
merger to Commerce Bank, N.A.), a national banking association, in its capacity
as agent (“Agent”), TD BANK,
N.A. (successor by merger to Commerce Bank, N.A.), a national banking
association, in its capacity as issuing bank (“Issuing Bank”) and each of the
financial institutions which are now or hereafter identified as Lenders on
Schedule A (as such Schedule may be amended, modified or replaced from time to
time) attached to the Loan Agreement (as defined below), (each
such financial institution, individually each being a “Lender” and
collectively all being “Lenders”).
BACKGROUND
A. Pursuant
to the terms of a certain Loan and Security Agreement dated May 24, 2007 among
Borrower, Agent and Lenders (as the same has been or may be supplemented,
restated, superseded, amended or replaced from time to time, the “Loan
Agreement”), Lenders made available to Borrower, inter alia, a
revolving line of credit not to exceed Seventy Five Million Dollars
($75,000,000) (the “Loans”). All capitalized terms used herein
without further definition shall have the respective meaning set forth in the
Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents.
B. The
Loans are secured by, inter alia, continuing
perfected security interests in the Collateral.
C. An
Event of Default exists under the Loan Agreement, and Borrower has requested
Lenders’ waiver of such Event of Default. Lenders have agreed to
waive such Event of Default in accordance with and subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions hereof.
D. Borrower
has requested that Agent and Lenders also modify, in certain respects, the terms
of the Loan Agreement and Agent and Lenders have agreed to such modifications in
accordance with and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
hereof.
NOW,
THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background incorporated by reference and intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
1. Waiver of Existing
Default. Borrower acknowledges that Borrower failed to
maintain the minimum Consolidated Net Worth required under Section 6.8(a) of the
Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008 (the “Existing
Default”) and that such failure constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement. Upon satisfaction of each of the Effectiveness Conditions
set forth in Section 8 of this Amendment, Lenders shall be deemed to have waived
the Existing Default as of the date of this Amendment. Lenders’
waiver of the Existing Default shall in no way be construed as an agreement to
waive any Default or Event of Default that may have occurred prior to the date
hereof other than the Existing Default nor to waive any Default or Event of
Default arising after the date hereof, and Agent and Lenders reserve all rights
and remedies under the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents as to any Default
or Event of Default other than the Existing Default. The granting of
the waiver of the
Existing
Default under this Amendment shall not be construed as a course of conduct or
dealing on the part of Agent and Lenders.
2. Amendments to Loan
Agreement.
a. Section
1 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting the definition of Maximum Revolving Credit
Amount and replacing it as follows:
Maximum Revolving Credit
Amount – Subject to Section 2.9(b), the aggregate sum of each Lender’s
Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share, which in no event shall exceed in the
aggregate:
(a) from August 7, 2008 through
September 29, 2008, Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000);
(b) from September 30, 2008 through
December 30, 2008, Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000);
(c) from December 31, 2008 through
March 30, 2009, Forty-Five Million Dollars ($45,000,000); and
(d) After March 30, 2009, Thirty
Million Dollars ($30,000,000); provided that notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, after March 30, 2009, the Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of
U.S. Bank, National Association shall be reduced to Zero Dollars ($0) and U.S.
Bank, National Association shall no longer be a Lender under this Agreement.
..
b. Schedule
A to the Loan Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety with Schedule A
as attached to this Amendment.
c. Section
6.8 of the Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting subsection (a) and
replacing it as follows:
(a) Consolidated Net
Worth - Borrower shall maintain at all times Consolidated Net Worth, to
be tested quarterly at the end of each fiscal quarter, of not less than the
following amounts for the following periods:
June 30,
2008 through September 29,
2008 $150,000,000
September
30, 2008 through September 29,
2009 $170,000,000
September
30, 2009 through September 29,
2010 $180,000,000
September
30, 2010 through September 29,
2011 $190,000,000
September
30, 2011 through September 29,
2012 $200,000,000
3. Further Amendments.
Each of Borrower and Lenders, as consideration for the waiver of the Existing
Default, hereby agree to negotiate in good faith a future amendment (the “Future
Amendment”) to Section 6.8(a) of the Loan Agreement, and to execute and deliver
such Future Amendment, along with Borrower’s payment of all of Agent’s expenses
and such other
items as
Agent may reasonably require in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of the Future Amendment, to Agent no later than sixty (60) days after
the date hereof.

Lenders that:

all warranties and representations made to Lenders under the Loan Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and restates such warranties and representations as of
the date hereof, all of which shall be deemed continuing until all of the
