Lender has charged and collected the full amount of interest chargeable and collectible had interest at the Stated Interest Rates always been lawfully chargeable and collectible. As the Governing Rate changes, the rate set forth in each Stated

The following is hereby added as a second paragraph to Section 2.13 of the Agreement:

Borrowers further warrant, represent
and agree as follows:

A.Joint and Several
Liability. Borrowers are interdependent for their operational and financial needs, and they and Lender intend that each Borrower be jointly and severally liable for each monetary obligation, warranty and covenant obligation
arising under this Agreement. The delivery of funds to any Borrower under this Agreement shall constitute valuable consideration and reasonably equivalent value to all Borrowers for the purpose of binding them and their assets on a joint and several
basis for the Indebtedness hereunder. Lender may enforce this Agreement against any Borrower without first making demand upon or instituting collection proceedings against any other Borrower.

B.Unconditional Obligation. The unconditional liability of each
Borrower for the entire Indebtedness shall not be impaired by any event whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the merger, consolidation, dissolution, cessation of business or liquidation of any Borrower; the financial decline or bankruptcy of
any Borrower; the failure of any other party to guarantee the Indebtedness or to provide collateral therefor; Lenders compromise or settlement with or without release of any Borrower; Lenders release of any collateral for the
Indebtedness, with or without notice to Borrowers; Lenders failure to file suit against any Borrower; Lenders failure to give any Borrower notice of default; the unenforceability of the Indebtedness against any Borrower due to bankruptcy
discharge, counterclaim or for any other reason; Lenders acceleration of the Indebtedness at any time; the extension, modification or renewal of the Indebtedness; Lenders failure to undertake or exercise diligence in collection efforts
against any party or property; the termination of any relationship of any Borrower with any other Borrower, including, but not limited to, any relationship of commerce or ownership; any Borrowers change of name or use of any name other than
the name used to identify such Borrower in this Agreement; or any Borrowers use of the credit extended for any purpose whatsoever.

-10-



---

C.Deferral of Contribution and
Subrogation. Borrowers respective rights of contribution and any other such rights among themselves are not impaired by this Agreement, except that each Borrower agrees not to seek payment directly or indirectly from
another Borrower through a claim of indemnity, contribution, subrogation or otherwise with respect to the Indebtedness, until the Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full.

D.Solvency. Borrowers are not insolvent and are not rendered insolvent under any
applicable definition under corporate law or laws applicable to creditors rights by their duties respecting the Indebtedness. Borrowers agree that it is appropriate to include in the determination of their solvency under these laws the value
of their rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, subrogation and other related rights of recourse respecting their joint and several liability for the Indebtedness and the inter-company loans arising under this Section 2.13, adequate
provisions for which rights of contribution and other rights exist at law or by independent document(s) to the satisfaction of the respective Borrowers. Submitted to Lender concurrently with the delivery of this Schedule is a Solvency Certificate
further establishing the solvency of all Borrowers as of the date of this Schedule.

E.Savings Provision. Should the liability of any Borrower hereunder for the entire amount of the Indebtedness be subject to avoidance or limitation,
notwithstanding the contrary agreement and the express intention of the parties hereto, under any state or federal fraudulent conveyance law or other similar law that may be determined to be applicable, then the liability of such Borrower for the
Indebtedness shall be limited to the maximum amount for which the Borrower may be liable without legal impairment.

2.15.FACILITY FEE (SECTION 2.15).

There shall be no facility fee.

3.1.COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION (SECTION 3.1).

located in the State of Mississippi, or (ii) if the promissory note is held by any Borrower that is domiciled in Mississippi, in each case as long as Lender deems this delivery appropriate for the purpose of perfecting its security interest
therein.

3.7.RECORDS AND INSPECTIONS (SECTION 3.7).

The following language is hereby added as a final sentence of Section 3.7:

Borrower shall reimburse to Lender the reasonable costs of collateral audits (including auditor time and travel expenses) that Lender may conduct from time to time, but only to the extent that (i) audits exceed the scope and effort of
the collateral audits customarily performed by Lender respecting the Loan prior to January 1, 2002 (but in no event absent an Event of Default will such reimbursable audit expenses exceed $50,000 per year) or (ii) audits are performed after the

And as additionally set forth on Exhibit A.

6.1.E.LINES OF BUSINESS.

Section 6.1.E is hereby amended by adding the following language as a final sentence thereof:

Absent Lenders prior written consent,
Borrowers will engage in no additional lines of business and will not increase beyond two percent (2%) of their consolidated gross income as of their future quarterly financial statements, their participation in any present line of business which
contributed less than one percent (1%) of their consolidated gross income as of their financial statements dated as of July 31, 2001. For the purpose of this provision:

(i) The mere sale of an additional product that is reasonably related to an existing line of business shall not be regarded as an additional line of business as long as the sale of the product does not introduce novel
liability or operational requirements. For example, the mere sale of casualty insurance for an agents fee (as now undertaken by Borrowers) would be regarded as a different line of business from the underwriting of casualty insurance, but the
addition of new credit-related insurance products to Borrowers product line to be sold as agent would be regarded as an expansion of product lines within an existing line of business and not as an additional line of business;

-12-



---

(ii) Without limiting any of the foregoing, Borrowers will not expand the scope of their insurance underwriting activities beyond their
product offerings as of December 31, 2001 without Lenders prior written consent; and

(iii) The offering of check cashing services or any other new
services that would require additional formal governmental regulation or licensure or present a new type of risk to Borrowers shall be regarded as additional lines of business.

6.1.H.ADDITIONAL AFFIRMATIVE COVENANT (SECTION 6.1.H).

Section 6.1.H is hereby
added to the Agreement in its entirety as follows:

H.If
the controlling shareholder and senior management succession plan delivered to and approved by Lender dated June 14, 2001 is modified by Borrower, such modification shall be approved in writing as acceptable to Lender, in its reasonable discretion,
and its final form shall be delivered to Lender within fifteen (15) days of such modification.

6.2.D.ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE COVENANT
(SECTION 6.2.D).

The following sentences are hereby added as the last three sentences to Section 6.2.D of the Agreement:

Borrower further agrees not to exercise its right to redeem or prepay any Subordinated Debt prior to its stated maturity without Lenders prior written approval. This
restriction applies to voluntary redemptions or prepayments only, and does not restrict redemptions that may occur (i) at the election of the holder of Subordinated Debt under the terms thereof, rather than at the election of Borrower, or (ii) as
may be required by applicable law or by a regulator; provided, however, Lender does not consent to any redemption that would violate the terms of subordination set forth in the Indenture and Notes establishing the Subordinated Debt.

Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower further specifically agrees that it will not redeem any of its Series E Preferred Stock or on any
securities issued with respect thereto or in substitution therefor.

6.2.L.ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE COVENANTS (SECTIONS 6.2.L,

L.Allow the change of senior management with respect to James D. Thaxton as President, Bob Wilson

like experience and expertise, and as to the other officers, the replacement need only be duly qualified for the requirements of the position by ordinary industry standards.

M.Issue any equity securities or rights for the issuance of, or convertible into, equity securities, unless
documentation acceptable to Lender establishes that the net proceeds of such offering after the reasonable and necessary expenses of issuance are paid to Lender and a corresponding reduction is made in the Maximum Amount of the Revolving Credit
Line; provided, however, that Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the issuance of a reasonable amount of such securities as incentive compensation even though no cash proceeds will result from the issuance.
