BACKGROUND

     WHEREAS, the Investor is, as of the date hereof, the beneficial owner of 3,500 shares of the Trust’s capital securities designated as “Floating Rate Capital Securities”, having a liquidation amount of $1,000.00 per share (the “Capital Securities”) that were issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of Superior Capital Trust I, a Delaware Statutory Trust (the “Trust”), dated as of July 19, 2007 among the Company, Wilmington Trust Company as the Delaware Trustee and the Institutional Trustee, and the administrators named therein (the “Trust Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, the Company, the Subsidiary and the Investor desire to exchange newly issued shares of the voting common stock par value $.001 of the Company (the “Common Stock”) for the 3,500 shares of the Capital Securities beneficially owned and held by the Investor (the “Trust Shares”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, such Trust Shares to be transferred to the Subsidiary (the “Exchange”);

     WHEREAS, the Subsidiary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company, the Subsidiary and the Investor intend the Exchange be treated as a reorganization pursuant to Section
368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1981, as amended (the “Code), each of the parties be a party to a reorganization, as that term is defined in Section 368(b) of the Code, and this Agreement constitute and reflect a “plan of reorganization”, as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.368-2(g).

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1.2 The Closing.

     (a) The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 9:00 a.m., CST on the business day after the day on which all of the conditions set forth in Sections 1.2(c), (d) and (e) are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms must be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed between the Company, the Subsidiary and the Investor.

     (ii) (A) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III of this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the Closing Date (other than representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of another date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such other date), except to the extent that the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct (without giving effect to any qualifiers or exceptions relating to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below)), individually or in the aggregate or the failure to comply with such covenants, does not have and would not reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and (B) the Company shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing;

     Section 1.3 Interpretation.

     When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” “Articles,” “Sections,” “Annexes” or “Schedules” such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex or Schedule to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References to “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and the like refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or provision, unless the context requires otherwise. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation.” No rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel. All references to “$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation include any successor to the section. References to a “business day” shall mean any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day on which banking institutions in New York, New York, Birmingham, Alabama or Wilmington, Delaware generally are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed or are customarily closed.

Further, the Investor has taken full cognizance of and understands all of the risks related to the purchase of the Common Shares. To the extent deemed necessary by the Investor, the Investor has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of purchasing and owning the Common Shares.

     (c) In making the Investor’s investment decision, the Investor is relying solely on investigations made by the Investor and the Investor’s representative(s), if any. The Company’s offer to exchange the Common Shares was communicated to the Investor in such a manner that the Investor was able to ask questions of and receive answers from the management of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Exchange, and that at no time was the Investor presented with or solicited by or through any advertisement, article, leaflet, public promotional meeting, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or meeting or any other form of general or public advertising or solicitation.

     (d) The Investor acknowledges that the Investor has been advised that:

     (i) The Common Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state securities commission, nor has the SEC or any state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of any representations by the Company; and

     (ii) In making an investment decision, the Investor must rely on its own examination of the Company and the terms of the proposed sale to the Investor of the Common Shares, including the merits and risks involved, The Common Shares have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or other regulatory authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of any representation by the Company.

     (d) The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Company and the subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of the Company or the subsidiaries or their accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom). The Company (1) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company by others within those entities, and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (A) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no reason that its outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, without qualification, when next due.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

     Section 4.1 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to permit consummation of the Exchange as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party to that end.

     Section 4.2 Expenses.

     Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto will bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

     Section 4.3 Exchange Listing and Registration.

     The Company shall, at the Company’s expense, cause, (a) subject to applicable listing rules, the Common Shares to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, subject to official notice of issuance, and shall maintain such listing for so long as any Common Stock is listed on such exchange; and (b) if the Common Shares are not freely tradable in the hands of the Investor as contemplated by Article V hereof, the Common Shares to be issued to the Investor pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC such that the Common Shares will be immediately tradable in the hands of the Investor.

     Section 4.4 Certain Notifications Until Closing.

     From the date hereof until the Closing, the Company shall promptly notify the Investor of (a) any fact, event or circumstance of which it is aware and which would reasonably be likely to cause any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or to cause any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement not to be complied with or satisfied in any material respect and (b) except as Previously Disclosed, any fact, circumstance, event, change, occurrence, condition or development of which the Company is aware and which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not limit or affect any rights of or remedies available to the Investor.

     Section 4.5 Stockholder’s Meeting.

     (a) It is currently contemplated by the Company that it may issue a significant number of shares of its Common Stock in other transactions or offerings between the date of this agreement and March 31, 2010. The number of shares of Common Stock issued in such transactions or offerings may be sufficiently great to abrogate any requirement under NASDAQ rules for stockholder approval of the Exchange. If by March 31, 2010, stockholder approval of the Exchange would still be required by applicable NASDAQ rules, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders (which may be its annual meeting or a special meeting) as promptly as practicable to seek approval of the Exchange and the issuance of the Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement (the “Proposals”). The Board of Directors shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that such stockholders vote in favor of the Proposals. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall prepare (and the Investor will provide information reasonably required by the Company to be included therein) and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as promptly as practicable a preliminary proxy statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff thereon and to cause a definitive proxy statement related to such stockholders’ meeting or consent to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies for such stockholder approval of the Proposals. Each of the Investor and the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it or on its behalf for use in the proxy statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

     (b) None of the information supplied by the Company for inclusion in any proxy statement in connection with any such stockholders meeting of the Company or consent will, at the date it is filed with the SEC, when first mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of any stockholders meeting, and at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

     Section 4.6 Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by either party without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. The provisions of this Section 4.6 shall not restrict the ability of a party hereto to summarize or describe the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any prospectus or similar offering document or other report required by law, regulation stock exchange or rule so long as the other party is provided a reasonable opportunity to comment on such disclosure in advance.

     Section 4.7 Withholding of Tax. All payments with respect to the Common Stock issued in exchange for, or pursuant to the terms of, any of the foregoing instruments (the “Covered Securities”) shall be subject to withholding and backup withholding to the extent required by law. If, prior to making any payment with respect to Covered Securities held by the Investor, the Company receives from the Investor a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed IRS Form W-9 evidencing the entitlement of such entity to an exemption from backup withholding with respect to such payment, and the Company does not know, or have reason to know that such exemption is not available, the Company shall, and shall cause its paying agent to, make such payment with respect to such Covered Securities (including the transfers by the Company pursuant to the Exchange), free and clear of backup withholding of United States federal income tax, as supported by such form.

ARTICLE V

SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS

     The issuance of the Common Shares upon exchange of the Trust Shares is intended to be exempt from registration pursuant to Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Since the Investor has held the Trust Shares for a sufficient period of time under Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act such that the Trust Shares would be freely tradable by the Investor, all the Common Shares issued to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement

will be freely tradable under U.S. securities laws by such Investor. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to effect any transfer of the Common Shares by the Investor and to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Common Shares to be delivered to any transferee of the Investor, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Common Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Investor may reasonably request.

ARTICLE VI

     (b) by either the Investor or the Company in the event that any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable;

The representations of the Investor made herein or in any certificates delivered in connection with the Closing shall survive the Closing for a period of one year after the Closing; provided that the representations and warranties made in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.5 shall survive Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

     Section 6.3 Amendment.

     No amendment of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an officer or a duly authorized representative of each of the Company, the Subsidiary and the Investor; provided that the Investor may unilaterally amend any provision of this Agreement to the extent required to comply with any changes after the date hereof in applicable federal statutes. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     Section 6.4 Waiver of Conditions.

     The conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Exchange are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable law. No waiver will be effective unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver.

     Section 6.5 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction, Etc.

     This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the parties hereto agrees (a) to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama for any and all civil actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Exchange contemplated hereby and (b) that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, notice may be served upon (i) the Company at the address and in the manner set forth for notices to the Company in Section 6.6 and (ii) the Investor in accordance with applicable law. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CIVIL LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXCHANGE CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

ANNEX D

FORM OF OPINION

     (a) The Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Subsidiary is organized and validly existing under the Laws of the State of Alabama.

     (b) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Exchange Agreement and to carry out its obligations thereunder.

     (c) The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company and the Subsidiary of the Exchange Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Subsidiary, and no further approval or authorization is required on the part of the Company and the Subsidiary.

     (d) The Exchange Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiary and, assuming the due execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, is a valid and binding obligation of each of the Company and the Subsidiary, enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary in accordance with its terms. The foregoing opinion as to the enforceability of the Exchange Agreement against the Company and the Subsidiary is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

     (e) The Company is not or, after giving effect to the issuance of the Common Shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, would be on the date hereof an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     (f) The issuance by the Company of the Common Shares to the Investor upon exchange of the Trust Shares as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof, and, assuming that the Investor has held the Trust Shares for more than six months, the Common Shares issued to the Investor by the Company will be freely tradable under Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act.

     (g) The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Agreement have been validly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery against consideration therefor as contemplated by the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
