On August 6,  2009,  Four Oaks  Fincorp,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  sold  $650,000
aggregate  principal amount of subordinated  promissory notes due August 6, 2019
(the  "Notes") to certain  accredited  investors in a subsequent  closing to the
offering  commenced  on May 15, 2009.  The Company may elect to sell  additional
subordinated  promissory notes upon the same terms and conditions in one or more
subsequent  closings on or prior to August 13, 2009, provided that the aggregate
principal  amount of all  subordinated  promissory  notes issued in all closings
does not  exceed $12  million.  To date,  the  Company  has sold  $10.1  million
aggregate principal amount of subordinated promissory notes.

The Company is obligated to pay interest on the Notes at an  annualized  rate of
8.5% payable in quarterly installments commencing on the third month anniversary

time after August 6, 2014 subject to compliance with applicable law.

The Notes have not been registered  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may
not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption  from  the  registration   requirements  of  the  Securities  Act  and
applicable securities laws of other jurisdictions.

Proceeds  from  the sale  and  issuance  of the  Notes  will be used to  provide
additional equity capital to the Company's banking subsidiary,  Four Oaks Bank &
Trust Company.
