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may be supplemented, restated, superseded, amended or replaced from time to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
