    AMENDMENT
      TO THE

    EMPLOYMENT
      AGREEMENT

    FOR
      ALMA SHUCKHART

    

    

    THIS
      AMENDMENT executed on
      this       
 27th      day
      of         
September            ,
      2007 by and between the TIB Financial Corp. (the “Holding Company”), TIB Bank
      (the “Bank”), and Alma Shuckhart (the “Executive”).

    

    On  March
      1, 2004, the Company and Executive executed the EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT by and
      between TIB Financial Corp. (the “Holding Company”), TIB Bank of the Keys (the
“Bank”), and Alma Shuckhart (the “Executive”).

    

    The
      undersigned hereby amends, in part,
      said Agreement for the purpose of changing the Position and Duties; Records,
      Term, and Compensation sections of the Agreement.

    

     Section
      2 of the
      Agreement shall be amended to reflect as follows:

    2.  Position
      and Duties; Records.  During the term of
      this Agreement, the Executive shall serve as Senior Executive Vice President
      & President of the Southwest Florida Market of the Bank, and shall undertake
      such duties, consistent with such titles, as may be assigned to him from time
      to
      time by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank or Holding Company
      and/or Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Bank (collectively
      referred to as the “Board”), including serving on Board committees as appointed
      from time to time by the Board, and assisting in keeping the Company in
      compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  In performing his
      duties pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive shall devote his full business
      time, energy, skill and best efforts to promote the Company and its business
      and
      affairs; provided that, subject to Sections 10, 12 and 13 of this Agreement,
      the
      Executive shall have the right to manage and pursue personal and family
      interests, and make passive investments in securities, real estate, and other
      assets, and also to participate in charitable and community activities and
      organizations, so long as such activities do not adversely affect the
      performance by Executive of his duties and obligations to the
      Company.  Upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any
      reason, he shall resign as a director of the Holding Company and the Bank (if
      he
      is then serving in such capacity).  All files, records, documents,
      manuals, books, forms, reports, memoranda, studies, data, calculations,
      recordings or correspondence, in whatever form they may exist, and all copies,
      abstracts and summaries of the foregoing, and all physical items related to
      the
      business of the Company, its affiliates and their respective directors and
      officers, whether of a public nature or not, and whether prepared by Executive
      or not, are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company, and shall
      not be removed from their premises, except as required in the course of
      providing the services pursuant to this Agreement, without the prior written
      consent of the Company.  Such items shall be promptly returned by the
      Executive on the termination of this Agreement or at any earlier time upon
      the
      request of the Company.

    .

    

    Section
      3 of the Agreement shall be
      amended to reflect a follows:

    

    3.  Term:  The
      initial
      term of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be for a period of three
      years, commencing with the date set forth in Section 1 and expiring (unless
      sooner terminated as otherwise provided in this Agreement or unless otherwise
      renewed or extended as set forth herein) on the third anniversary of this
      Agreement, which date, including any earlier date of termination or any extended
      expiration date, shall be referred to as the “Expiration
      Date”.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement, the
      term of this Agreement and the employment of the Executive by the Company
      hereunder shall be deemed automatically renewed for successive periods of two
      years each on each anniversary date of this Agreement, until the Executive
      receives written notice that the term of this Agreement will not be
      automatically renewed.  In the event of the Executive’s receipt of
      such notice from the Company that the term of this Agreement will not be
      renewed, the term of this Agreement shall end on the anniversary of this
      Agreement occurring two years after the anniversary date first occurring after
      the date such notice is given.  As an illustration of the foregoing,
      if such notice were given by the Company to the Executive on a date in 2005
      before the anniversary date of this Agreement, then the term of this Agreement
      would end on the anniversary date of this Agreement in 2007.  If
      notice were given by the Company to the Executive on a date in 2005 after the
      first anniversary date of this Agreement, then the term of this Agreement would
      end on the anniversary date in 2008. After termination of the employment of
      the
      Executive for any reason whatsoever, the Executive shall continue to be subject
      to the provisions of Sections 10 through 17, inclusive, of this Agreement;
      provided, however, that the Executive shall not be subject to the provisions
      of
      Section 12 where the employment of the Executive is terminated pursuant to
      Section 8(e), or where the term of employment is not renewed pursuant to this
      Section 3.

     

     

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    Section
      4 of the Agreement shall be amended to reflect a
      follows:

     

              4. 
      Compensation:  4 (a).  A base annual base salary of
      $210,000.00 as of the date of amendment, such annual salary to be subject to
      increase thereafter as the Board in its discretion shall
      determine.  The foregoing salary shall be payable in such periodic
      installments consistent with other employees of the Bank.

    	2.
                	
            The
              Company and the Purchasers now wish to further modify certain terms
              of the
              Warrants. 

          

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and other good and
      valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
      acknowledged, the Company and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agree
      as follows: 

     

    	1.            
            	
            Exercise
              of Warrants.
              Subject to the terms hereof, each Purchaser agrees to exercise the
              June
              1st
              Warrants, June 14th
              Warrants and the 2006 Warrants as set forth herein.
              

          

     

    	1.1   
                	
            The
              Exercise Price on the 2006 Warrants shall be reduced from $6.805 to
              $2.68
              (the “Market Price”).

          

     

    	1.2   
                	
            The
              Company and each Purchaser agree that Section 4(a) of the 2006 Warrant
              shall be deleted and replaced in its entirety as
              follows:

          

     

    “(a)
       This
      Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from
      time
      to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At
      6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this
      Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value;
      provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days
      immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the
      Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to
      have
      been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless
      exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date if a
“cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below.
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Expiration Date shall
      be
      extended for each day following the Effective Date that the Registration
      Statement is not effective.”

     

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    	1.3    
              	
            Subject
              to the terms hereof, each Purchaser agrees to exercise (i) 100% of
              the
              June 1st
              Warrants and June 14th
              Warrants issued to such Purchaser and (ii) 50% of the 2006 Warrants
              issued
              to such Purchaser, in each case as set forth on Schedule
              A
              hereto on the Business Day following the date of this Agreement (“Closing
              Date”). In consideration for such exercise, the Company shall issue to
              each Purchaser a warrant in the form of Exhibit
              A
              attached hereto (the “Additional Warrants”), registered in the name of
              such Purchaser, pursuant to which such Purchaser shall have the right
              to
              acquire the number of shares of Common Stock indicated opposite such
              Purchaser’s name on Schedule
              A
              hereto under the heading “Additional Warrant Shares” at an Exercise Price
              equal to the Market Price per share.

          

     

    	1.4    
              	
            Each
              Purchaser shall have the option within 90 calendar days following the
              date
              the Additional Registration Statement is declared effective by the
              Commission to exercise all or any portion of the remaining 2006 Warrants
              and receive an additional warrant, registered in the name of such
              Purchaser, pursuant to which such Purchaser shall have the right to
              acquire the number of shares of Common Stock that it exercises pursuant
              to
              this Section 1.3. Such additional warrant shall be exercisable at the
              Market Price and be in the same form as the Additional Warrant. For
              the
              purposes of this Amendment, the additional warrant issued under this
              Section 1.4 shall be deemed an “Additional Warrant” and the shares
              issuable upon exercise of the additional warrant shall be included
              in the
              Additional Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 below.
              

          

     

    	2.             
            	
            Closing.
              Subject to the terms hereof, each Purchaser and the Company agrees
              that
              the closing of the issuance of the Additional Warrants (the “Closing”)
              shall occur on the Closing Date. 

          

     

    	2.1    
              	
            On
              the Closing Date, the Company shall (i) issue to each Purchaser a warrant
              in the form of Exhibit
              A

              such
              Purchaser shall have the right to acquire the number of shares of Common
              Stock indicated opposite such Purchaser’s name on
              Schedule A
              hereto under the heading “Additional Warrant Shares”, and (ii) issue to
              each Purchaser a certificate representing the number of Warrant Shares
              exercised under the Warrants.

              Notice required under the Warrants and the Exercise Price in immediately
              available funds.

          

     

    	3.            
            	
            Registration.
              

          

     

    	3.1      
             	
            The
              Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file
              a
              registration statement (the “Additional Registration Statement”) to cover
              all shares of Common Stock issuable under the Additional Warrants (the
              “Additional Registrable Securities”) as soon as possible, but in no event
              later than 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”). The Company
              will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Additional
              Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as
              possible.

          

     

    	3.2     
              	
            The
              Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file
              a
              post-effective amendment to the registration statement (the “Registration
              Statement”) covering the June 1st
              Warrants and the June 14th
              Warrants as soon as possible, but in no event later than April 6, 2007
              (the “Post Effective Amendment Filing Date”). The Company will use its
              commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement

              declared effective as soon as possible.

          

     

    	3.3     
              	
            The
              Company hereby agrees to amend and restate the Company’s Form 10-Q for the

              within
              15 days of the Closing Date (the “Restatement Filing
              Date”).

          

     

    	3.4     
              	
            In
              the event the Company does not file the Additional Registration Statement
              by the Filing Date or the post effective amendment to the Registration
              Statement by the Post Effective Amendment Filing Date (each, an “Event”),
              each Purchaser shall be entitled to receive on the date of such Event
              (the
              “Event Date”) an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as
              a penalty, equal to 1% of the aggregate Exercise Price paid by such
              Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Amendment; and on each monthly
              anniversary of the Event Date thereof (if the applicable Event has
              not

              This Amendment and the Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits
              and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
              with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
              agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such

              7.9
              of
              the June 14th

              which
              when taken together shall be considered one and the same document and
              shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party

              need not sign the same counterpart.

    	6.12   
              	
            Severability.
              If any provision of this Amendment is held to be invalid or unenforceable
              in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms
              and
              provisions of this Amendment shall not in any way be affected or impaired
              thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable
              provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing,
              shall incorporate such substitute provision in this
              Amendment.

          

     

    	6.13   
              	
            Independent
              Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.
              The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint
              with
              the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
              responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any
              other
              Purchaser. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser
              pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
              partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity,
              or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in
              concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions
              contemplated hereby. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently
              protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
              rights
              arising out of this Amendment and it shall not be necessary for any
              other
              Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for
              such
              purpose. The Purchasers have not relied upon the same legal counsel
              in
              their review and negotiation of this Amendment. The Company has elected
              to
              provide all Purchasers with the same terms and form of Amendment for
              the
              convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested
              to
              do so by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser represents that it has been
              represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and
              negotiations of this Amendment and each party represents and confirms
              that
              Malhotra & Associates LLP represents only Iroquois in connection with
              this Amendment.

            On
              January 5, 2004, a lawsuit was filed by the Company in the Second Judicial
              District Court of the State of Nevada, in and for the County of Washoe,
              Case No. CV04 00013, Dept. No. 9, against Alexander H. Walker, Jr.,
              the
              Company’s former general counsel and director, and Nevada Agency &
              Trust Company, the Company’s former transfer agent. The lawsuit alleges
              breaches of fiduciary duty, contract violations, conversion, and other
              related claims, in connection with the sale of shares of the Company’s
              common stock to Coldwater Capital, LLC and Mark Neuhaus in 2001. The
              Company claims it did not receive approximately $737,000 of the purchase
              price for the shares sold. The Defendants have answered the Complaint,
              generally denying the allegations and raising affirmative defenses,
              and
              cross-complaining against Coldwater Capital, LLC and Mark Neuhaus for
              the
              payment of the funds owed to the Company. The Company subsequently
              obtained a pre-judgment writ of attachment requiring Mr. Walker to
              deposit
              the proceeds of the sale of the Company stock he owned with the court,
              pending trial. Discovery has been completed and trial in this matter
              is
              presently scheduled for April 23, 2007.

            In
              Clean
              Fuels Technology v. Rudolf W. Gunnerman, Peter Gunnerman, RWG, Inc.
              and
              SulphCo, Inc.,
              the Company, Rudolf Gunnerman, Peter Gunnerman, and RWG, Inc., were
              named
              as defendants in a legal action commenced in Reno, Nevada. The Plaintiff
              alleged claims relating to “sulfur removal technology” originally
              developed by Professor Teh Fu Yen and Dr. Gunnerman with financial
              assistance provided by Dr. Gunnerman, and subsequently assigned to
              the
              Company. On December 18, 2006, following a trial, the jury found in
              the
              Company’s favor on both claims asserted against the Company by the
              Plaintiff. The Plaintiffs have since requested equitable relief, including
              the imposition of a constructive trust, from the Judge who presided
              over
              the trial. The Company views the request for any equitable relief as
              against the Company as without merit. Oral argument on the request
              for
              equitable relief took place on February 22, 2007, and the Company is
              awaiting a decision.

              Talisman
              Capital Talon Fund, Ltd. v. Rudolf Gunnerman and SulphCo,
              Inc.,
              the Company and Rudolf Gunnerman were named as Defendants in a legal
              action commenced in federal court in Reno, Nevada. The Plaintiff alleged
              claims relating to the Company’s rights to develop its “sulfur removal
              technology. The Company regards these claims as without merit. Discovery
              in this case formally concluded on May 24, 2006. Motions to compel
              additional discovery and summary judgment motions by both parties are
              still pending, and no trial date has yet been set.

              In
              The Matter of the Arbitration between Stan L. McLelland v. SulphCo,
              Inc.,
              Mr. McLelland, who was the Company's president from August 13, 2001,
              until
              he resigned on September 12, 2001, is seeking to exercise two million
              (2,000,000) shares of the Company stock options at 50 cents per share.
              It
              is the Company’s position that those options had not vested prior to Mr.
              McLelland's resignation. Mr. McLelland also seeks salary for the six
              months following his resignation and $20,000 of alleged unpaid commuting
              expenses, as well as attorneys' fees and costs. Discovery is closed,
              and
              the arbitrator recently denied the parties’ cross-motions for summary
              judgment on the options issue. The arbitration hearing has been set
              for
              April 19 and 20, 2007 in Reno, Nevada.

    	5.     
              	
            On
              October 20, 2006, Mark Neuhaus filed a lawsuit against the Company
              and
              Rudolph W. Gunnerman, Mark
              Neuhaus v. SulphCo, Inc., Rudolph W. Gunnerman,
              in the Second Judicial District Court, in and for the County of Washoe,
              Case No. CV06 02502, Dept. No. 1. The lawsuit is based on a purported
              Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement and related Consulting Agreement
              between Mark Neuhaus and the Company dated March of 2002. Mark Neuhaus
              claims that according to the terms of the Non-Qualified Stock Option
              Agreement, he was granted an option to purchase three million (3,000,000)
              shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price per share of
              $0.01. On or about February of 2006, Mark Neuhaus attempted to exercise
              the option allegedly provided to him under the Non-Qualified Stock
              Option
              Agreement. At that time, the Company rejected Mr. Neuhaus’s attempt to
              exercise the option. Thereafter, Mr. Neuhaus filed this lawsuit seeking
              to
              enforce the Non-qualified Stock Option Agreement. In his suit, Mr.
              Neuhaus
              includes claims for specific performance, breach of contract, contractual
              breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and tortious
              breach
              of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. He requests the Court
              to
              compel the Company to issue the shares or alternatively to award him
              damages equal to the fair market value of the three million (3,000,000)
              shares of stock when he purported to exercise the options, minus the
              exercise price. On December 7, 2006, the Company moved to dismiss the
              lawsuit. On January 4, 2007, the Court issued an Order denying the
              motion
              on the ground that there were factual issues to be resolved which
              prevented dismissal at that time. The Company is now in the process
              of
              preparing an Answer to the Complaint. The Company intends to vigorously
              defend the claims made by Mr. Neuhaus, which it believes are without
              merit. Trial in this matter is scheduled for September 24,
              2007.

            On
              January 17, 2007, Rudolf W. Gunnerman filed a lawsuit against four
              of the
              Company’s independent directors, Richard L. Masica, Robert Van Maasdijk,
              Edward E. Urquhart, and Lawrence G. Schafran. This case is known as
              Rudolph
              W. Gunnerman v. Robert Van Maasdijk, Richard L. Masica, Larry G. Schafran,
              Edward E. Urquhart,
              and was filed in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of
              Nevada, in and for the County of Washoe, Case No Case No. CV07 00103,
              Dept. No. B6. Gunnerman’s Complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive
              relief with respect to the amendments to the Company’s bylaws made by the
              Company’s Board of Directors on Wednesday, January 17, 2007. Gunnerman
              alleges that the independent directors’ amendment to the Company’s bylaws
              which provides that the Board of Directors shall have exclusive authority
              to amend the bylaws was invalid and the bylaw amendment should be declared
              invalid. The independent directors have counterclaimed for a declaration
              that the amendment was valid and in the Company’s best interest. Discovery
              in this case has not begun and no trial date has been
              set.

            On
              January 26, 2007, Thomas Hendrickson filed a shareholder derivative
              claim
              against certain current and former officers and directors or the Company
              in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, in and
              for
              the County of Washoe. The case is known as Thomas
              Hendrickson, Derivatively on Behalf of SulphCo, Inc. v. Rudolf W.
              Gunnerman, Peter W. Gunnerman, Loren J. Kalmen, Richard L. Masica,
              Robert
              Henri Charles Van Maasdijk, Hannes Farnleitner, Michael T. Heffner,
              Edward
              E. Urquhart, Lawrence G. Schaffran, Alan L. Austin, Jr., Raad Alkadiri
              and
              Christoph Henkel,
              Case No. CV07 00137, Dept. No. B6. The complaint alleges, among other
              things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Company
              by failing to act in good faith and diligence in the administration
              of the
              affairs of the Company and in the use and preservation of its property
              and
              assets, including the Company’s credibility and reputation. The Company
              and the Board intend to file a Motion for Dismissal with the Court,
              based
              upon the Plaintiff’s failure to make a demand upon the
              Board.

          

     

    	8.     
              	
            On
              June 26, 2006, the Company filed an action, SulphCo,
              Inc. v. Cullen,
              in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, in and
              for
              the County of Washoe, Case No. CV06-01490, against Mark Cullen arising
              out
              of Mr. Cullen’s alleged breach of a secrecy agreement that he had executed
              when employed by GRD, Inc., whose claims have accrued to the Company.
              The
              lawsuit seeks damages, a constructive trust, and an order requiring
              Mr.
              Cullen to assign to the Company certain intellectual property in the
              form
              of patent applications (as well as a now-issued patent) that he filed
              following his departure from the Company. On October 23, 2006, Mr.
              Cullen
              moved to dismiss the Company’s complaint; the motion was denied. On
              February 26, 2007, Mr. Cullen filed an amended answer to the Company’s
              complaint. That Answer included counterclaims for breach of contract,
              unfair competition, interference with contractual relations, and
              interference with prospective economic advantage. The Company views
              Mr.
              Cullen’s counterclaims as without merit. Discovery in this case has not
              yet begun, and no trial date has been set.
