Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On July 7, 2011, Resource Capital Corp. (NYSE: RSO) (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, RCC Real Estate, Inc. (“RCC Real Estate” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered into a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with The Bancorp Bank (the “Bank”).  The Facility will provide short-term loans to the Borrowers (“Bridge Loans”) which will enable them to make real estate loans to third parties (“Third Party Loans”) prior to such Third Party Loans being sold by the Borrowers to collateralized debt obligation issuers (each a “CDO”) as part of their asset pools.
 
We describe the Facility in Item 2.03 below, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
 
Item 2.03                      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
            The Facility is evidenced by a Revolving Judgment Note and Security Agreement by and among the Borrowers and the Bank entered into July 7, 2011 (the “Note”).  The Note becomes due and payable on June 30, 2012; however each Bridge Loan must be repaid on the earlier of (i) the sale of the Third Party Loan to a CDO or (ii) five business days following disbursement by Bank of a Bridge Loan to Borrowers.  Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 275 basis points (the “Interest Rate”); however, Bridge Loans that are not repaid within five business days will bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 500 basis points.  Borrowings are secured by a pledge by RCC Real Estate of two Class A-1 notes held by it issued by Resource Real Estate Funding CDO 2006-1, Ltd.  Each of the Class A-1 notes has a par value of $20.0 million, and borrowings under the Facility are limited to 25% of such par value.
 
The Note contains customary representations and covenants for facilities of this type, including covenants with respect to the valuation of the collateral and covenants that limit RCC Real Estate’s ability to transfer pledged collateral or grant liens thereon. Events of default are also customary for loans of this size, including payment defaults and breaches of representations or covenants. Occurrence of an event of default allows the Bank to accelerate the payment of the loan and terminate its commitment to lend.
 
The foregoing description of the Facility does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the document filed as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
