FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RESOURCE CAPITAL CORP., a Maryland corporation (“RCC”), and RCC REAL ESTATE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“RCC Real Estate,” together with RCC, jointly, severally and collectively, herein “Borrower”), having an office at Xxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Center, Philadelphia, PA 19112, hereby promises to pay to the order of THE BANCORP BANK (“Bank”), at its office 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, or at such other place as the holder may, from time to time, designate, the sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest thereon from the date hereof at the rates hereinafter provided, and both payable as hereinafter provided (this “Note”)

1. Interest Rate.

(a) The principal sum outstanding under this Note from time to time hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per year equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, plus 275 basis points (2.75 percentage points). The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest rate published from time to time in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal as the Prime Rate for such day (or, if such source is not available, such alternate source as reasonably determined by the Bank).

(b) Unless the Expiration Date (as defined in Paragraph 2(a)) is extended by mutual agreement of Borrower and Bank, during the period commencing on the date immediately following the Expiration Date and expiring on the date on which this Note is paid in full, interest on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time hereunder shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in Paragraph 13 below).

2. Availability Period; Borrowing and Repayment Procedures.

(a) This is a revolving line of credit to provide bridge financing for Borrower (“Bridge Loans”) to fund real estate loans to third parties (“Third Party Loans”) prior to the sale of such loans as part of a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”). During the availability period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them. The availability period shall begin on the date hereof and end on June 30, 2012. The unpaid principal balance of this Note then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall become due and payable on June 30, 2012 (“Expiration Date”).

(b) Prior to the Expiration Date Borrower may, in accordance with the terms of this Note, request, repay and reborrow Bridge Loans up to the principal amount of this Note.

(c) Borrower shall provide Bank the documents, instruments or other items Bank may request as a condition precedent or subsequent to disbursing any Bridge Loan requested by Borrower, including payment of an amount equal to .5% of the entire principal amount ($50,000) as a one-time commitment fee for Bank. It is agreed that Bank’s counsel fees shall be paid from the commitment fee.

(d) Each request for a Bridge Loan must be made on the form of Request for Advance attached to this Note as Exhibit 2(d), and accompanied by (i) a summary of the Third Party Loan intended to be funded with the proceeds of the Bridge Loan and (ii) payment of an advance fee equal to .25% of the principal amount of each Bridge Loan as an advance fee for Bank. Each Request for Advance must be made no less than four business days prior to the date of disbursement requested by Borrower for a Bridge Loan. In no event shall the principal amount outstanding under this Note exceed 25% of the par value of the Collateral (as defined in Section 4(a) below).

(e) Each Bridge Loan must be repaid by Borrower to Bank on the earlier of (i) sale of the Third Party Loan to the CDO or (ii) the fifth business day following disbursement of the Bridge Loan to Borrower. Any Bridge Loan outstanding more than five business days will bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in Paragraph 13 below).

3. Payments of Principal and Interest.

(a) Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note prior to the date otherwise due.

(b) Any prepayment hereunder, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be applied first to any accrued and unpaid interest hereunder up to the date of such prepayment, then to any other sums which may be payable to Bank under this Note up to the date of such prepayment and then to the principal sum hereunder. The acceptance of any such prepayment when there is an event of default in existence under this Note shall not constitute a waiver, release or accord and satisfaction thereof or of any rights with respect thereto by Bank.

(c) Nothing herein, nor any transaction related hereto, shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower to pay interest at a greater rate than shall be lawful. Should any interest or other charges paid by Borrower in connection with the obligation evidenced by this Note result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum legal contract rate of interest which is legally permitted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for transactions of this kind, then any and all such excess shall be, and the same is hereby waived by Bank, and any such excess paid shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the balance due under this indebtedness and any portion which exceeds the balance due under this Note shall be repaid by Bank to Borrower. At maturity (or prior thereto, in the event Bank accelerates payment hereof), if the total amount of the interest paid, including any service fee, and any other charge upon the principal amount, exceeds the maximum legal contract rate permitted by law, such interest shall be recomputed and any such excess shall be credited to the principal amount due, or returned to Borrower.

4. Security.

(a) For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, RCC Real Estate hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Bank a security interest and lien in the securities and the accounts described on Schedule 4(a) attached hereto (the “Debt Securities”), together with all proceeds thereof (the “Collateral”) to secure the payment of and the performance under this Note.

(b) All additions to, substitutes and replacements for and proceeds of the Collateral (including all income and benefits resulting from any of the above, such as interest, premium and principal payments; redemption proceeds), which shall comprise proceeds of, the Collateral, shall be deemed Collateral, shall be held in trust for Bank. Any cash proceeds shall be held in trust for Bank.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Note or any financing statement covering the Collateral shall be sufficient as a financing statement. Bank is authorized to file financing statements without the signature of RCC Real Estate and to execute and file such financing statements on behalf of RCC Real Estate as specified by the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code (“Code”) to perfect or maintain Bank’s security interest in all of the Collateral.

(d) Contemporaneously with the execution of this Note, Borrower has executed and delivered a security control agreement with the financial institution holding the Collateral (the “Brokerage House”) pursuant to which Bank will have direction and control over the Collateral upon and following the occurrence of an event of default (beyond any and all applicable periods of notice and cure, if any) under this Note (the “Control Agreement”).

(e) Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file such financing statements as Bank may deem necessary to perfect this security interest. Borrower agrees that Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code, as amended from time to time, and such other rights and remedies as Bank may enjoy under the law with respect to the Collateral following an event of default (beyond any and all applicable periods of notice and cure, if any).

(f) This Note shall continue in full force and effect until obligations and liabilities evidenced by this Note are paid in full and Bank is no longer obligated to extend financial accommodations to Borrower, even if, from time to time, there are no amounts outstanding respecting this Note. The Bank must file a termination statement in accordance with Section 9-513(b) of the Code when this Note shall cease to be in full force and effect.

(g) Following an event of default, upon ten calendar days’ prior notice to Borrower, which Borrower hereby acknowledges to be sufficient, commercially reasonable and proper, Bank is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral at any time and from time to time at public or private sale, with or without advertisement thereof and apply the proceeds of any such sale first to Bank’s expenses in preparing the Collateral for sale (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), second to the complete satisfaction of the sums owed to Bank under this Note, and third, as required by the Code. Borrower waives the benefit of any marshalling doctrine with respect to Bank’s exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder.

(h) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in Borrower’s favor at law or in equity.

5. Late Charge. If any payment of principal or interest due to Bank hereunder shall not be paid when due, Borrower shall pay Bank on demand a “late charge” computed at the rate of five cents ($.05) for each dollar (or part thereof) of the amount not paid, to cover the extra expense and inconvenience to Bank in ensuring payment of such delinquent amount. Borrower acknowledges that its failure to pay any amount due hereunder will result in the loss of the use of the money due and frustration to Bank in meeting its loan commitments, that the damages to Bank in connection with such late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that a sum equal to five cents ($.05) for each dollar which is not paid when due is a reasonable estimate of the damages incurred by Bank in connection with any such late payment. The amount of any such “late charge” not paid promptly following demand therefor shall be deemed outstanding and payable pursuant to this Note.

6. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Bank (which representations and warranties shall survive until this Note has been paid in full) that:

(a) Power and Authority; Authorization; Enforceability. Borrower has full power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and comply with the terms of this Note and, upon execution hereof, this Note shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Borrower enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction for its term. All necessary consents and approvals of any individual, entities, governmental or regulatory authorities and securities exchanges have been obtained to effectuate the validity of this Note.

(b) Conflict; Breach. The execution and delivery of and compliance with this Note by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any applicable law, judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority, or of any agreement or other document or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower is bound.

(c) Financing Statements. No financing statement covering the Collateral is or will be on file in any public office, except the financing statements relating to the security interest created hereby, and no security interest, other than the one created herein, has attached or been perfected in the Collateral or any part thereof.

(e) Restrictions on Transfer of the Collateral. The Brokerage House has been instructed not to trade, sell, or offer any of the Collateral for bids other than on the instruction of Bank or in accordance with the Control Agreement. Without the prior consent of Bank, RCC Real Estate shall not change the Brokerage House or the foregoing instruction. Upon execution of this Note RCC Real Estate will confirm the forgoing restrictions in writing to Brokerage House, together with a copy of this Note, and shall provide a copy of such correspondence to Bank.

(f) Borrower will use Borrower’s best efforts, upon Bank’s written request, to obtain and publish all information necessary to satisfy Rule 144 and/or Rule 145 if any issuer of the Rule 144/145 Securities is not current in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) at the time of a foreclosure sale by Bank.

to further secure payment of this note and whether or not borrower is in default hereunder, borrower hereby knowingly, intentionally, voluntarily and irrevocably authorizes and empowers bank, by its attorney, or by the prothonotary or clerk of any court of record in the commonwealth of pennsylvania or in any jurisdiction where permitted by law, to appear for borrower and confess and enter judgment against borrower in favor of bank in any jurisdiction in which borrower or any of its property is located for the amount of all obligations, together with costs of suit and other costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of the greater of five percent (5%) of the principal amount then due or $1,000), with or without declaration, without stay of execution and with release of all procedural errors and the right to issue execution forthwith, and also waives the right of inquisition of any real estate levied on, voluntarily condemns the same, authorizes the prothonotary or clerk to enter the writ of execution of said voluntary condemnation, agrees that said real estate may be sold on a writ of execution; and also waives and releases all relief from any and all appraisement, stay or exemption law of any state now in force or enacted in the future.

if a copy of this note, verified by affidavit of bank or someone on bank’s behalf, has been filed in such action, it will not be necessary to file the original note as a warrant of attorney. the authority and power to appear for and enter judgment against borrower will not be exhausted by the initial exercise of the authorized power, and the power may be exercised from time to time as often as bank deems necessary or desirable to fully collect all obligations of borrower hereunder, and this instrument will be a sufficient warrant, any rule of court, custom or practice to the contrary notwithstanding.

by signing this note, borrower acknowledges that it has read, understood and agreed to the provisions which may result in a court judgment against borrower, and the seizure of borrower’s assets, without prior notice or hearing, and that this note may be collected from borrower regardless of any claim borrower may now or in the future have against bank.

borrower has been advised by its legal counsel, or has been afforded the opportunity to be advised by its legal counsel, in connection with the execution and delivery of this note and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the confession of judgment pursuant to the warrant of attorney set forth above.

No act of Bank shall be deemed or construed as an election to proceed under any one such right or remedy to the exclusion of any other such right or remedy; furthermore, each such right or remedy of Bank shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of any other. The failure to exercise or delay in exercising any such right or remedy, or the failure to insist upon strict performance of any term of this Note, shall not be construed as a waiver or release of the same, or of any event of default thereunder, or of any obligation or liability of Borrower thereunder.

(b) Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest or other notice of dishonor, and any and all other notices in connection with any default in the payment of, or any enforcement of the payment of, all amounts due under this Note.

(d) Borrower agrees that any action or proceeding against it to enforce the Note may be commenced in state or federal court in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Borrower irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waives any objection based upon inconvenience of the forum or otherwise to venue laid therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Paragraph is intended to prevent Bank from instituting an action in any jurisdiction for the sole and exclusive purpose of enforcing a judgment by a court in the jurisdictions referred to in the preceding sentence.

(e) Borrower waives personal service of process and agrees that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served if served by registered or certified mail in accordance with the notice provisions set forth herein and Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses to an exercise of personal jurisdiction by any such court.

In connection with and as part of the foregoing, in this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for the collection of any sum payable thereunder, Borrower agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees for the collection of the amount being claimed under this Note, as well as all costs, disbursements and allowances provided by law.

15. Stamp Taxes, etc. Borrower shall pay the cost of any revenue, tax or other stamps now or hereafter required by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States to be affixed to this Note and Borrower shall pay or reimburse Bank upon demand the amount of such taxes without credit against any indebtedness by this Note. If Borrower does not or may not do so, Bank may at its option accelerate the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to maturity as in the case of default by Borrower.

16. Severability. In the event that for any reason one or more of the provisions of this Note or their application to any person or circumstance shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, such provisions shall nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable in all such other respects and to such extent as may be permissible. In addition, any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
