All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to each of them in the Loan Agreement.

          WHEREAS, Borrower executed that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement dated April 28, 2004 (“Fourth Amendment”) which modified certain financial covenants in the Loan Agreement;

          WHEREAS, the Borrower now desires to terminate the Liquidity Note in the Loan Agreement and to further renew and extend the unpaid principal balance of the Acquisition Note; and

          1.1          Amendment to Notes. As of the effective date hereof, the Borrower has $2,750,000 of principal outstanding under the Acquisition Note and zero dollars outstanding


under the Liquidity Note. The Borrower does hereby terminate the Liquidity Note. Further, the Borrower desires to renew the unpaid principal balance of the Acquisition Note (not convert such unpaid balance to a term facility as provided in the Acquisition Note dated September 15, 2003) by extending the original payment terms and the maturity date by one year. Accordingly, Sections 2.02(a) and (b) of the Loan Agreement shall be, and are hereby, amended to read in their entirety as follows:

 

          2.02 (a)          Acquisition Note.  From Closing Date and continuing at all times through September 15, 2005 (the “Revolving Credit Period”) the Loan evidenced by the Acquisition Note shall be a revolving credit facility which will allow the Borrower to request such amounts as Borrower may elect from time to time (each such amount being herein called an “Advance”) so long as the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding at any time under the Acquisition Note does not exceed Ten Million and NO/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) provided however, the minimum Advance must be at least $500,000.00. The Borrower shall have the right to borrow, repay, and borrow again under the credit facility. Interest shall be due and payable quarterly and shall accrue at the election of the Borrower (which election shall be made on the date of the first Advance) at either LIBOR plus 200 basis points or the Prime Rate. The outstanding principal balance of the Acquisition Note on September 15, 2005 shall convert to a term facility (the “Term Period”) and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Note.

                    (b)          Liquidity Note.  Terminated and intentionally deleted.

          1.2          Amendment to Borrower’s Address.  Borrower and Lender each hereby agree to modify the Borrower’s Address set forth in Section 7.01 of the Loan Agreement and all other loan documents to read as follows:

                         Summit Bancshares, Inc.
                         Mr. Philip E. Norwood
