Exhibit 10.1

AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT - REAL ESTATE LOAN

This Amendment (the “Amendment”) is entered into this 7th day of April, 2010, by
and between DEER VALLEY HOMEBUILDERS, INC., an Alabama corporation authorized to
do business in the State of Florida, having its principal place of business at
205 Carriage Street, Guin, Alabama 35563 (the “Borrower”), and DEER VALLEY
CORPORATION, a Florida corporation, successor by merger with CYTATION CORP., a
Delaware corporation, having a mailing address of 3111 West Dr. MLK Boulevard,
Suite 100, Tampa, Florida 33607 (the “Guarantor”), and FIFTH THIRD BANK, an Ohio
banking corporation, having a mailing address of 201 East Kennedy Boulevard,
Suite 1800, Tampa, Florida 33602 (the “Bank”), and amends and modifies that
certain Loan Agreement dated May 26, 2006 (the “Loan Agreement”) as follows:

1. Terms. All of the capitalized terms in this Amendment shall have the meanings
as defined in the Loan Agreement.

2. Financial Covenant. The Financial Covenant set forth in Section 3. p (1) of
the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following Section 3. p
(1) is substituted in its place and stead:

“p. (1) Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio
(Excluding Cap Ex) globally for Borrower, Deer Valley Financial Corp. and Deer
Valley Corporation (collectively the “Corporations”), of not less than 1.25 to
1.00, measured on a rolling 4-quarter basis, commencing March 31, 2010. As used
herein ‘Debt Service Coverage Ratio (Excluding Cap Ex)’ means the ratio of
(a) the sum of the Corporations’ consolidated net income before taxes,
depreciation, amortization and interest expense, less distributions, dividends
and other extraordinary/non-recurring income plus goodwill impairment charges to
(b) the sum of the Corporations’ interest expense, and all required principal
payments including capital leases (excluding principal due at maturity).”

3. Warranties. Borrower hereby affirms and warrants that all of the warranties
made in the Note, Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other
documents or instruments recited herein or executed with respect thereto
directly or indirectly, are true and correct as of the date hereof and that
Borrower is not in default of any of the foregoing nor aware of any default with
respect thereto, and that Borrower has no defenses or rights of offset with
respect to any indebtedness to the Bank. Borrower hereby releases and
indemnifies the Bank from any cause of action against it existing as of the date
of execution hereof. The rights and defenses being waived, released and
indemnified hereunder include without limitation any claim or defense based on
the Bank having charged or collected interest at a rate greater than that
allowed to be contracted for by applicable law as changed from time to time,
provided, however, in no event shall such waiver and release be deemed to change
or modify the terms of the Loan Documents which provide that sums paid or
received in excess of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

maximum rate of interest allowed to be contracted for by applicable law, as
changed from time to time, reduce the principal sum due, said provision to be in
full force and effect.

4. Ratification. Except as modified by this Amendment, Borrower hereby ratifies
and confirms the continued validity and viability of all terms, conditions and
obligations set forth in the Loan Documents and all other instruments as
modified by this Amendment.

5. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision hereof shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law,
such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity only, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or of the
remaining provisions of this Amendment.

6. Florida Contract. This Amendment shall be deemed a Florida contract and shall
be construed according to the laws of the State of Florida, regardless of
whether this Amendment is executed by certain of the parties in other states.

7. Binding Effect. This Amendment shall bind the successors and assigns to the
parties hereto and constitutes the entire understanding of the parties, which
may not be modified except in writing.

8. Other Terms. Except as specifically modified and amended by the terms set
forth in this Amendment, all of the other terms, covenants, obligations and
conditions of the Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

9. Guarantor’s Reaffirmation. Guarantor executes this Amendment to re-affirm its
liability for the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement as
modified by this Amendment.

Entered into as of the day and year first above written.
