ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
Resource Capital Corp. (the "Company") entered into a third amendment (the "Amendment") to the loan agreement, dated December 15, 2005 (the "Loan Agreement"), by and among the Company, Commerce Bank, N.A., as agent, and Commerce Bank, N.A., as issuing bank.
The Company describes the Amendment 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.
On April 11, 2008, but effective as of March 31, 2008, the Loan Agreement was amended to revise the definitions of "Consolidated Tangible Net Worth" and "Maximum Revolving Credit Amount,"and to reduce the amount of consolidated tangible net worth the Company is required to maintain to $250.0 million. The stated "Maximum Revolving Credit Amount" was reduced to $10.0 million to more closely reflect the actual borrowing base available to the Company under the Loan Agreement before the Amendment and to reduce unused fees under the loan agreement. As a result, the Company does not believe the reduction will have a material impact on its current liquidity.
A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND EXHIBITS.
