         A. Until the Commitment Termination Date (as defined below), Debtor and

to Debtor upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

         B. In exchange for each Loan, Debtor will assign to Secured Party one

all Contracts which are the subject of Loans.

         D. Resource America, Inc. has agreed to execute a Continuing Service

when due of all services to be performed by Servicer.

         ACCORDINGLY, meaning and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties agree as follows:

         1. The Loans.

         (a) Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Secured Party agrees to establish for the benefit of the Debtor a warehouse line
of credit facility (hereinafter, the "Revolving Credit") which shall include
cash advanced (individually, a "Loan" and, collectively, the "Loans") to the

during the period commencing the date hereof and ending on the 364th day

intention to borrow a Loan from the Secured Party pursuant to the terms hereof,
Debtor shall have delivered to the Secured Party (x) a written notice ("Loan
Request") in the form attached as Schedule B to Exhibit B hereto, signed by an
authorized officer of the General Partner specifying the requested borrowing
date and the principal amount of such Loan accompanied by (y) a borrowing
computation in the form satisfactory to the Secured Party specifying the
Borrowing Limit for such requested Loan and the aggregate Borrowing Base
outstanding on such date and a list of the Contracts to be assigned in the form
of Schedule A to Exhibit B hereto. No Loan shall be made if, after giving effect
thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans would exceed
the Borrowing Base. Each Contract offered to Secured Party in connection with a
Loan request shall (i) satisfy all of the conditions attributable to an Eligible
Contract (as defined below) and (ii) be in form and substance satisfactory to
the Secured Party and otherwise comply with the conditions set forth in this
Agreement. Each Loan shall be in the amount equal to or greater than One Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). Amounts borrowed and repaid may be
reborrowed.

         (b) Note. The Loans made under the Revolving Credit shall be evidenced
by a promissory note for the amount of the Commitment (the "Note") duly executed
and delivered by the Debtor to the Secured Party substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto.

         (c) Disbursement of Loans; Payments. Loans made by the Secured Party to
the Debtor under the Revolving Credit shall be made available by crediting such
proceeds to the Operating Account (as defined below) with the Secured Party. The
Secured Party shall have the unconditional right and discretion (and the Debtor
hereby authorizes the Secured Party) to charge the Operating Account for all of
the Indebtedness (as defined below) as it becomes due from time to time under
this Agreement.

         (d) Term of the Loan, Payments of Principal and Interest. Principal on
Loans advanced under the Commitment shall be due, in full, on the Commitment
Termination Date; provided that at no time shall the aggregate principal of
outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base. If at any time such excess exists,
Debtor will promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, reduce the
outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Loans to an amount equal to or
less than the Borrowing Base. Accrued interest on Loans advanced under the
Commitment shall be paid monthly on the tenth (10th) day of each month and on
the Commitment Termination Date. Loans may be voluntarily prepaid as provided in
Section 9(h) hereof.

         (d) Interest Rate. The interest rate applicable to the Loans will be
determined and adjusted using LIBOR plus two and one-half percent (2.5%) per
annum. "LIBOR" means, with respect to a Unit, the rate per annum (rounded
upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) determined by Secured
Party by dividing (i) the rate per annum determined by Secured Party to equal
the average rate per annum at which deposits (denominated in United States
dollars) in an amount similar to that Unit and with a maturity similar to the
Contract Period for that Unit are offered to Secured Party at 11:00 A.M. London





                                        2
<PAGE>

time (or as soon thereafter as practicable) two (2) Eurodollar Banking Days
prior to the first day of that Contract Period by banking institutions in any
Eurodollar market selected by Secured Party by (ii) the difference of one (1)
less the Reserve Percentage. "LIBOR Unit" means a Loan based on LIBOR or a
fluctuating rate of interest based on a Daily LIBOR Index. "Contract Period"
means, relative to a LIBOR Unit, a period that shall commence on a Eurodollar
Banking Day and end one (1) day, one (1) month, two (2) months or three (3)
months thereafter, provided, that (i) if any Contract Period otherwise would end
on a day that is not a Eurodollar Banking Day, it shall end instead on the next
following Eurodollar Banking Day unless that day falls in another calendar
month, in which latter case the Contract Period shall end instead on the next
preceding Eurodollar Banking Day and (ii) if any Contract Period commences on a
day for which there is no numerical equivalent in the calendar month in which
that Contract Period is to end, it shall end on the last Eurodollar Banking Day
of that calendar month. "Eurodollar Banking Day " means any Banking Day on which
banks in the London Interbank Market deal in United States dollar deposits and
on which banking institutions are generally open for domestic and international
business at the place where Secured Party's office is located and in New York
City. "Reserve Percentage" means the percentage (expressed as a decimal) which
Secured Party determines to be the maximum (but in any case less than 1.00)
reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any emergency, marginal,
special, or supplemental reserve requirement) prescribed for so-called
"Eurocurrency liabilities" (or any other category of liabilities that includes
deposits by reference to which the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Units is
determined) under Regulation D (as amended from time to time) of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or under any successor regulation which
Secured Party determines to be applicable, with each change in such maximum
reserve requirement automatically, immediately, and without notice changing the
interest rate thereafter applicable to each LIBOR Unit, it being agreed that
LIBOR Units shall be deemed Eurocurrency liabilities subject to such reserve
requirements without the benefit of any credit for proration, exceptions, or
offsets.

         (e) Interest on Overdue Amounts. If Debtor shall fail to timely pay any
amount due to Secured Party under any Loan, Debtor shall continue to pay Secured
Party interest on such unpaid amount at the per annum rate of interest
applicable to that Loan prior to such late payment, provided, however, that if
such payment is not made to Secured Party within five (5) Business Days after
the applicable due date, then interest upon such unpaid amount shall be paid at
a per annum rate equal to three percent (3%) above LIBOR (the "Default Rate").

         (f) Direct and Continuing Liability. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Note or this Agreement, Debtor shall be liable for the full and
prompt payment of each Loan. Liability for each Loan will be fully recourse to
all of the assets of Debtor (but not to the partners thereof).

         (g) Loans as Debt. The parties intend the Loans to be treated as debt
for tax and all other purposes.

any such agreement or instrument.

received on account of, any and all personal property taxes, license, permit and
registration fees, sales, use, excise, or similar taxes, together with any
penalties or interest in connection therewith, now or hereafter imposed by any
state, Federal or other government or agency on any Equipment covered or
Payments due under any Contracts, whether the same shall be payable by or billed
or assessed to the Obligor, Debtor or Secured Party.

         (d) Power of Attorney. Servicer hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Secured Party after the occurrence and during the continuation of any
uncured Event of Default, as Servicer's true and lawful attorney with full power
of substitution, for Servicer and in its name, place and stead, to ask, demand,
collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for any
and all Payments and other sums due under Contracts assigned hereunder, to
endorse, in writing or by stamp, Servicer's name or otherwise on all checks,
collections, receipts or instruments given in payment or part payment thereof.
Secured Party's authority may be delegated by Secured Party to any qualified
entity with which Secured Party has arranged for the performance of any billing,
collection or administration of Contracts.

         (e) Secured Party's Discretion. After the occurrence and during the
continuation of any uncured Event of Default, Secured Party and its designee may
take or fail to take whatever action with respect to the collection of such
Payments and receipt of such funds as Secured Party or such designee, in their
reasonable but sole discretion, shall deem proper. Regardless of any such action
Secured Party may or may not take, the provisions of Section 9 which govern
prepayment will remain in force and shall be unaffected by any such action or
failure to act on Secured Party's part.

         (f) Reimbursement of Collection Expenses. Debtor agrees to reimburse
Secured Party, within ten (10) days after Secured Party's request therefor, for
all reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses and costs which have been
incurred in connection with Secured Party's billing and collection of such
Contracts, including but not limited to the costs and expenses incurred or
charged in connection with the delegation of such responsibilities to a
designee.

         (g) Application of Payments; Excess Payments to Reserve. Following any
Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, Secured Party may receive
all Payments under the Contracts and apply such Payments against any amounts due
from Debtor on account of the Loans or otherwise. The amount of Payments
received in excess of amounts shall be allocated by Secured Party to an interest
bearing reserve account for the benefit of Debtor ("Reserve") and held for later
application against amounts due from Debtor or release to Debtor as provided
below.

         9. Prepayments; Mandatory Prepayments.

         (a) Contract Prepayments. If a Contract is prepaid in full for any
reason, Debtor shall forthwith prepay in full the Prepayment Amount related to
such Contract, subject to provisions of Section 3 hereof.

         (b) Mandatory Partial Prepayment of Loans (Lack of Eligibility). In the
event that (i) the Contract related to any Loan at any time is not an Eligible
Contract or ceases to be an Eligible Contract, and (ii) Secured Party in its
sole discretion requests or demands that the Loan be paid with respect to such
Contract, then Debtor shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loan within three
Business Days of Secured Party's request or demand, by paying to Secured Party
the Prepayment Amount with respect to the Contract, determined as of the date of
prepayment.

         (c) Mandatory Partial Prepayment of Loans (Obligor Default). Upon any
(i) failure of an obligor under any Contract to make a Payment within sixty (60)
days of the due date of that payment; (ii) failure of any Obligor to perform any
of its material obligations under any Contract which failure is not cured within
30 days of notice; (iii) insolvency of any Obligor, inability of any Obligor to
pay its debts as they mature, the making by any Obligor of an Assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or institution of any proceeding by or against any Obligor
alleging that the obligor is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature
if such proceeding is not withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days after
its institution; (iv) entry of any final judgment against any Obligor remaining
unsatisfied for a period of thirty (30) days if such judgment is deemed by
Secured Party to be a material factor in the creditworthiness of the Obligor,
(v) death of any Obligor who is a natural person, (vi) dissolution, merger,
consolidation or transfer of a substantial part of the property of any Obligor
which is a corporation or a partnership, if such dissolution, merger,
consolidation or transfer is deemed by Secured Party to be a material factor in
determining the creditworthiness of such obligor, or (vii) falsity as of the
date made in any material statement, representation or warranty of any Obligor
in connection with any Contract (each, an "Obligor Default"), then and in any of
such events, Debtor shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Loan by paying to
Secured Party the Prepayment Amount with respect to the Contract within three
Business Days of any such event, determined as of the date of prepayment.

         (d) Mandatory Partial Prepayment of Loans (Payment Shortfall). In the
event that the aggregate principal balance on the Loans exceeds the Borrowing
Base, then Debtor shall immediately make a mandatory partial prepayment of the
Loans equal to the amount of such excess.

         (e) Substitution of Contracts. In lieu of payment of the Prepayment
Amount with respect to the Contract, as provided in Section 9(b), (c) and (d)
above, Debtor may offer Secured Party as a substitute a Contract ("Qualifying
Contract") which has the same (or longer) term and the same or more favorable
Payment requirements as the Contract to be prepaid, all as determined by Secured





                                       22
<PAGE>

Party in Secured Party's sole and reasonable discretion. If Secured Party
determines, in its discretion that such Contract is a Qualifying Contract and
that the Obligor under the Qualifying Contract has an acceptable credit quality
and Secured Party accepts such Qualifying Contract in substitution for the
Contract to be prepaid (it being acknowledged that Secured Party shall have no
obligation to accept such Qualifying Contract), then the substitution shall
occur upon Debtor's execution and delivery to Secured Party of such documents as
Secured Party shall reasonably request, including an Assignment, to collaterally
assign to Secured Party all of Debtor's right, title and interest in the
Qualifying Contract, the Payments arising thereunder and all related Obligor
Guaranties, and a first priority perfected security interest in the related
Collateral. All the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the
eligibility requirements of Section 5 shall apply with respect to the
substituted Qualifying Contract. The term of the Qualifying Contract, the
amortization schedule for such Qualifying Contract and the Borrowing Limit and
monthly payment for such Qualifying Contract shall all be deemed equal to the
term, amortization schedule, Borrowing Limit and monthly payment of the Contract
to be prepaid as of the date of substitution. Upon Debtor's assignment and
Secured Party's acceptance of the Qualifying Contract as soon as practicable
Secured Party will release to Debtor all of Secured Party's right, title and
interest in the Contract which was to prepaid, any unpaid Payments due
thereunder and the Equipment and Collateral securing the same. Upon the
substitution of Qualifying Contract for a Contract subject to prepayment under
this Section, Debtor shall be relieved of any further prepayment obligation with
respect to the Contract originally subject to prepayment.

         (f) Mandatory Prepayment of All Loans. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, then upon demand by Secured Party Debtor shall immediately
make a mandatory prepayment of all of the Loans by paying to Secured Party the
aggregate Prepayment Amount of each of the Loans, determined as of the date of
prepayment.

         (g) Determining Prepayment Amounts. The "Prepayment Amount"
attributable to any Contract covered by a Loan shall be an amount equal to a pro
rata portion of the unpaid principal and accrued interest on such Loan based on
a ratio in which the Borrowing Limit of the Contract shall be the numerator and
the aggregate Borrowing Limits of all Contracts covered by such Loan shall be
the denominator.

         (h) Voluntary Prepayment. Debtor may make optional prepayment of any
one or more of the Loans in all or in part (subject to paragraph a hereof) at
any time without premium or penalty.

         10. Default.

         (a) Events of Default. Any of the following events or conditions shall
constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement with respect to the Note
and Collateral:







                                       23
<PAGE>



             (i) Non-payment within five (5) days of when due, whether by
acceleration or otherwise, of any Indebtedness, time being of the essence.

             (ii) Failure by Debtor or Servicer to observe or perform and the
continuance thereof for twenty (20) days after notice from Secured Party, any
obligation, covenant, condition or agreement required to be observed or
performed by Debtor or Servicer under this Agreement, the Note, Assignment,
evidence of Indebtedness, or any Contract or any other default under this
Agreement or any material provision of a Contract.

             (iii) Any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or other
proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency law shall be instituted by or
against Debtor, the General Partner, and/or Servicer, provided, however, that if
any such proceeding is commenced against Debtor, General Partner or Servicer, an
Event of Default will not occur unless such proceeding is not dismissed within
sixty (60) days of filing.

             (iv) Making a general assignment by Debtor, General Partner or
Servicer for the benefit of creditors; the appointment of a receiver or trustee
for Debtor, General Partner or Servicer or for any of its assets; or the
institution by or against Debtor, General Partner or Servicer of any kind of
insolvency proceedings or any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of
Debtor, General Partner, or Servicer; provided, however, that if an insolvency,
dissolution or liquidation proceeding is filed against Debtor, General Partner
or Servicer, an Event of Default will not occur unless such proceeding is not
dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing.

             (v) (1) Failure to pay any indebtedness to Secured Party for
borrowed money (other than the Indebtedness), when due after applicable notice
and grace periods (whether by scheduled maturity required prepayment,
acceleration, demand, or otherwise), or (2) failure to perform or observe any
term, covenant, or condition on its part to be performed or observed under any
agreement or instrument relating to any such indebtedness, when required to be
performed or observed after applicable notice and grace periods, if the effect
of such failure to perform or observe is to accelerate, or to permit the
acceleration of, after the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, the
maturity of such indebtedness whether or not such failure to perform or observe
shall be waived by the holder of such indebtedness, or any such indebtedness
shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than
by a regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior to the stated maturity
thereof.

             (vi) Any representation, warranty or statement made herein or in
any other document delivered in connection herewith or any certificate or
statement furnished pursuant to or in connection herewith or therewith, shall
prove to be incorrect, false, misleading or incomplete in any material respect
on the date as of which made or deemed made.






                                       24
<PAGE>

             (vii) A judgment(s) or attachment(s) for the payment of money in
excess of $150,000 in the aggregate shall be rendered against the Debtor and

stayed or bothered pending appeal within thirty (30) days from the entry
thereof.

             (viii) The transfer, encumbrance, or assignment of majority

lien priority right, estate and interest in and to the Collateral.

         (b) Rights and Remedies upon Default. Upon the happening and during the
continuation of any Event of Default Secured Party (i) may declare Debtor to be
in Default hereunder and all or any part of the Indebtedness to be immediately
due and payable without notice or demand; (ii) may, without any notice
whatsoever, demand, collect and sue for any of the payments, Collateral or
proceeds thereof and any funds represented by the Reserve and retain and apply
such proceeds and funds against the Indebtedness, (iii) take whatever actions as
are legally available to it in enforcing the rights or remedies under any or all
of the Contracts, or to mitigate damages under the Contracts or to (but Secured

performance of Debtor's obligations under the Contracts; (iv) terminate the
Commitment and discontinue making any Loans pursuant to this Agreement; (v)
shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and
under any other applicable law from time to time in effect and (vi) may sue or

agreement now or hereafter in effect between Debtor and Secured Party, in any
Contract, or otherwise granted by law or equity. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, at all times and for any reason Secured Party shall have the
right to (i) make a demand for payment of any Indebtedness which is payable upon
demand and (ii) upon the third (3rd) occurrence of an Event of Default of the
type described in Section 10(a)(i) above, provided that each such Event of
Default results from the Debtor's failure to make payment when due to the
Secured Party in an amount of no less than $50,000.00, confess judgment against
the Debtor pursuant to Section 12(f) below. All rights and remedies of Secured
Party under this Agreement, under the Contract, under the UCC, or otherwise
shall be cumulative and exercisable concurrently or consecutively or in the
alternative, at Secured Party's option.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Debtor expressly
agrees that, after an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof,
Secured Party may (i) subject to Obligor's right under the Contract, lawfully
enter any premises where any Collateral (concerning which an Event of Default
has occurred) may be without judicial process and take possession of the
Collateral, (ii) directly bill and collect for Payments under the Contracts (and
take such further actions with respect to the Collateral as provided in Section
8 hereof, and (iii) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the
Collateral.

         (c) Notice. Debtor agrees that any notice by Secured Party of the sale,
lease or other disposition of Collateral or any other intended action under this
Section 10, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute

notice is mailed by overnight mail via nationally recognized overnight carrier,
at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of any public sale, lease or
other disposition of the Collateral, or at least ten (10) calendar days before
the date after which any private sale, lease or other disposition of the
Collateral is to take place, to Debtor's address as specified in this Agreement
or to any other address which Debtor has notified Secured Party in writing as
the address to which notices shall be given to Debtor or Debtor's successors,
assigns or transferees.

         (d) Effect of Sale of Collateral. Any sale by Secured Party whether
under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings shall
operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever,
either at law or in equity, of Debtor in and to the Collateral sold and shall be
a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against Debtor, its successors and
assigns, and against any all persons claiming the property sold or any part
thereof under, by or through Debtor, its successors and assigns, and against any
and all persons claiming the property sold or any part thereof under, by or
through Debtor, its successors and assigns (subject, however, to the then
existing rights, if any, of the obligor under the applicable Contract and to the
rights and interest of Debtor, its successors and assigns, in the proceeds of
such sale which are in excess of the amount required to satisfy the
Indebtedness).

the Collateral or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any
remedy hereunder shall be paid to and applied as follows:

             (ii) To the payment to the holder of the Note of the amount then
owing or unpaid on the Note for principal, late charges and interest (first to

FORTH IN SECTION 10(b) HEREOF, IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS WHICH MAY BE BROUGHT
HEREUNDER IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE AND CONFESS JUDGMENT
AGAINST DEBTOR FOR ALL, OR ANY PART OF, THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING, THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ACCRUED INTEREST HEREUNDER, TOGETHER
WITH ALL REASONABLE COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ATTORNEYS' FEES, AND FOR SUCH PURPOSE THE ORIGINAL
OR ANY PHOTOCOPY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND AN AFFIDAVIT OF SECURED PARTY OR SECURED
PARTY'S COUNSEL AVERRING TO THE EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL BE A GOOD AND SUFFICIENT
WARRANT OF ATTORNEY. SUCH AUTHORIZATION SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE EXERCISE
THEREOF, BUT JUDGMENT MAY BE CONFESSED AS AFORESAID FROM TIME TO TIME. DEBTOR
HEREBY WAIVES ALL ERRORS AND RIGHTS OF APPEAL, AS WELL AS RIGHTS TO STAY OF
EXECUTION AND EXEMPTION OF PROPERTY, IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ITS LIABILITY
HEREON.

         IN THE EVENT SECURED PARTY'S RECOVERY UPON SUCH CONFESSED JUDGMENT
SHALL EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, TOGETHER WITH SECURED PARTY'S
REASONABLE AND ACTUALLY INCURRED COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ATTORNEYS' FEES, SECURED PARTY SHALL RETURN SUCH EXCESS AMOUNTS TO DEBTOR.

         (g) Successors and Assigns; Entire Agreement; Assignment by Secured
Party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, Secured
Party and Debtor and their respective successors and assigns and contains the
entire understanding and agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof. It
is understood and agreed that from time to time Secured Party may assign (i) to
one or more of Secured Party's affiliates, subsidiaries or subsidiaries of its
affiliates, all of Secured Party's right, title and interest in any Loan, loan
documents or Collateral; and with Debtor's prior consent (so long as no Event of
Default or event which upon notice, lapse of time or both would constitute an
Event of Default) to any other person or entity, and (ii) assign, transfer or
grant participations (but not assignments) in this Agreement or any Loan, loan
documents or Collateral, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) interest to
any person or entity.

         (h) Assignment of Debtor. This Agreement is not assignable by Debtor,
by operation of law or otherwise, except to a party acquiring substantially all
of Debtor's assets, employees and business and Debtor's obligations may not be
delegated, except in connection therewith.

         (i) Secured Party's Reliance. All of the covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by Debtor in this Agreement shall,
notwithstanding any investigation by Secured Party, be deemed to be material to
and to have been relied upon by Secured Party with respect to each Loan made by
Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement. Secured Party's knowledge at any time






                                       31
<PAGE>

of any breach of or non-compliance with any of such covenants, agreements,
representations or warranties shall not constitute a waiver of any thereof. None
of Secured Party's rights under this Agreement will be waived except by a
writing signed by Secured Party and any such waiver will be effective only as to
the matters expressly set forth in such writing.

         (j) Illegality. Secured Party's obligation to perform under this
Agreement is limited by and subject to any and all applicable laws, rules and
regulations. Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or invalid under such
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in no event shall interest, fees or charges payable under this Agreement, the
Note or any Loan Document exceed those permitted by applicable law. Any
provision of this Agreement, the Note or of any Loan Document which would
otherwise charge or require payment of any interest, fee or charge in excess of
the maximum permitted by applicable law shall be hereby amended to charge and
require payment of only the maximum interest, fee or charge permitted by
applicable law.

         (k) Perfection of Security Interest. Debtor authorizes Secured Party to
file any financing statement or statements relating to the Collateral (without
Debtor's signature thereon), and to take any other action deemed necessary or
appropriate by Secured Party to perfect and to continue perfection of the
Security Interest. Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as its
attorney-in-fact to execute financing statements in Debtor's name and to perform
all other acts which Secured Party deems necessary or appropriate to perfect and
protect the Security Interest. Such appointment is binding and coupled with an
interest. Subject to the provisions of the Custodial Agreement, Debtor agrees to
give Secured Party or its designees possession of any Collateral in its control
or physical possession, possession of which is, in Secured Party's opinion,
necessary or desirable to perfect or continue perfection of priority of the
Security Interest. A photocopy of this Agreement is sufficient as a financing
statement and may be filed as such if Secured Party so elects.

         (l) Offset. Without limiting any other right of Secured Party, whenever
any Indebtedness owed to Secured Party is due and unpaid or whenever Secured
Party has the right to declare any Indebtedness to be immediately due an
payable, Secured Party may set off against the Indebtedness all monies then owed
to Debtor by Secured Party in connection with a Loan, whether or not due.

         (m) Waiver of Notice of Dishonor and Protest, etc. Debtor waives
dishonor, protest, presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor and
notice of protest of any instrument at any time held by Secured Party with
respect of which Debtor is any way liable and waives notice of any other action
by Secured Party.

                                   MASTER NOTE

$10,000,000.00                                                       _____, 2004

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned LEASE EQUITY APPRECIATION FUND I,
L.P. ("Debtor") promises to pay to the order of SOVEREIGN BANK together with any
other holder hereof, "Lender"), at its office at 3 Radnor Corporate Center,
Radnor, PA 19087 or at such other place as Lender may from time to time
designate in writing, without grace, the principal sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS
($10,000,000.00) or so much thereof as has been advanced hereunder, together
with interest on the unpaid balance of the principal from time to time
outstanding at the rate per annum set forth in the Credit Agreement (as defined
below). Principal and interest owing under this Note shall be payable as
provided in the Credit Agreement.

         In the event that any payment of principal or interest is not made
within five (5) days of the date when due hereunder, whether at its stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, it is hereby agreed that Lender shall
have the option of collecting, on demand, interest on the unpaid amount of such
delinquent payment from the day when due until the day when paid, at a rate
equal to the Default Rate, provided however, that in no event shall the rate of
interest charged exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

         Interest owing under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments made hereunder
shall at Lender's option be applied first to late charges, then to accrued
interest, then to principal. All amounts owing under this Note shall be payable
in lawful money of the United States of America which, as at the time of
payment, shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts and
shall be payable without relief or benefit of any valuation, stay, appraisement,
extension or redemption laws now or hereafter existing.

         This Note is secured by that certain (i) Revolving Credit Agreement and
Assignment of even date herewith (the "Credit Agreement") among Debtor, Lender
and LEAF Financial Corporation, (ii) the Continuing Service Guaranty of even
date herewith from Resource America, Inc., and (iii) Assignments issued pursuant
to the Credit Agreement, under which a security interest is granted in favor of
Lender, which together with all other agreements, instruments and documents
delivered in connection therewith and herewith, are hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the "Loan Documents".

         In the event of any default, after applicable notice and cure periods,
in the payment or performance of any liability or obligation owing under this
Note, under any of the Loan Documents, or under any other instrument, document
or agreement executed by or binding on Debtor in favor of Lender, Lender may
during the continuation of such default declare this Note, all interest
hereunder and all other amounts payable hereunder to be immediately due and
payable, without further notice or demand of any kind. In addition, upon the






<PAGE>

occurrence and during the continuation of any such default, Lender shall have
all other rights and remedies existing in Lender's favor at law or in equity or
provided for in any of the Loan Documents or in any of such other instruments,
documents, or agreements. The rights and remedies of Lender as provided herein,
in the Loan Documents, in such other instruments, documents, and agreements, at
law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued
singularly, successively, or together, at the sole discretion of Lender. No act
of omission or commission of Lender, including specifically any failure to
exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or
release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only through a
written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically
recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not
be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any
subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to any other event.

         Voluntary prepayments of this Note are permitted as more fully provided
in the Credit Agreement. Mandatory prepayment in full of this Note shall be
required to be paid upon the occurrence of certain events and within the times
provided in the Credit Agreement.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
interest, fees or charges payable under this Note or any Loan Document exceed
those permitted by applicable law. Any provision of this Note or of any Loan
Document which would otherwise charge or require payment of any interest, fee or
charge in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law shall be hereby
amended to charge and require payment of only the maximum interest, fee or
charge permitted by applicable law.

         Debtor waives presentment and demand for payment, dishonor, notice of
dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note. Debtor agrees to pay all
of Lender's reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable
attorneys' and paralegals' fees and expenses.

         If more than one party shall execute this Note, the term "Debtor" as
used herein shall mean all parties signing this Note and each of them, and all
such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder. The provisions
of this Note shall be binding upon Debtor and its heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender
and its successors and assigns.

         THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS BEEN MADE, AND THIS NOTE HAS BEEN
DELIVERED, AT PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PROVISIONS) OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. DEBTOR HEREBY (I) IRREVOCABLY
SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND
ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS;




<PAGE>

(II) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT DEBTOR MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE
DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING; (III) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE
JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (IV) AGREES NOT TO
INSTITUTE ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR ANY OF LENDER'S
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR PROPERTY, CONCERNING ANY MATTER
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS IN ANY
COURT OTHER THAN ONE LOCATED IN A COUNTY WHERE DEBTOR MAINTAINS AN OFFICE IN
PENNSYLVANIA. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL AFFECT OR IMPAIR LENDER'S RIGHT TO
SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR LENDER'S RIGHT TO BRING
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST DEBTOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION. DEBTOR WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION
ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE.

         CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT: THE FOLLOWING SETS FORTH A WARRANT OF AUTHORITY
FOR ANY ATTORNEY TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS
OF SECTION 10(B) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. IN GRANTING THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY
TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST DEBTOR, DEBTOR, FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH (OR
DECISION NOT TO CONSULT WITH) SEPARATE COUNSEL FOR DEBTOR, AND WITH KNOWLEDGE OF
THE LEGAL EFFECT HEREOF, HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS DEBTOR HAS, OR MAY
HAVE, TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING BEFORE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT
UNDER THE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF
PENNSYLVANIA. DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PURSUANT TO THIS WARRANT OF ATTORNEY,
LENDER IS AUTHORIZED TO ENTER A JUDGMENT AGAINST DEBTOR WHICH WILL GIVE LENDER A
LIEN AGAINST REAL PROPERTY AND WHICH MAY PERMIT LENDER TO, UTILIZING THE POWER
OF STATE GOVERNMENT, SEIZE PERSONAL PROPERTY INCLUDING DEBTOR'S DEPOSIT
ACCOUNTS. DEBTOR SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LENDER HAS RELIED ON THIS
WARRANT OF ATTORNEY IN GRANTING THE FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.


         DEBTOR HEREBY EMPOWERS ANY CLERK, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD TO
APPEAR FOR DEBTOR AFTER ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS OF
SECTION 10(B) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS WHICH MAY BE
BROUGHT HEREUNDER IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE AND CONFESS
JUDGMENT AGAINST DEBTOR FOR ALL, OR ANY PART OF, THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ACCRUED INTEREST
HEREUNDER, TOGETHER WITH ALL REASONABLE COSTS AND EXPENSES INCURRED IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ATTORNEYS' FEES, AND FOR SUCH



<PAGE>

PURPOSE THE ORIGINAL OR ANY PHOTOCOPY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND AN AFFIDAVIT OF
LENDER OR LENDER'S COUNSEL AVERRING TO THE EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL BE A GOOD AND
SUFFICIENT WARRANT OF ATTORNEY. SUCH AUTHORIZATION SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE
EXERCISE THEREOF, BUT JUDGMENT MAY BE CONFESSED AS AFORESAID FROM TIME TO TIME.
DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ALL ERRORS AND RIGHTS OF APPEAL, AS WELL AS RIGHTS TO STAY
OF EXECUTION AND EXEMPTION OF PROPERTY, IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ITS LIABILITY
HEREON.

         IN THE EVENT SECURED PARTY'S RECOVERY UPON SUCH CONFESSED JUDGMENT
SHALL EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, TOGETHER WITH SECURED PARTY'S
REASONABLE AND ACTUALLY INCURRED COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ATTORNEYS' FEES, SECURED PARTY SHALL RETURN SUCH EXCESS AMOUNTS TO DEBTOR.

         If this Note is not dated when executed by Debtor, Lender is hereby
authorized, without notice to Debtor, to date this Note as of the date when the
first loan evidenced hereby is made. Wherever possible each provision of this
Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or
invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
