Item 1.01.        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 30, 2010, Valley Financial Corporation, a registered bank holding company (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Bank, a state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System (the “Bank”), entered into a written agreement (“Written Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Reserve Bank”).  A copy of the Written Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, the Bank has agreed to develop and submit to the Reserve Bank for approval within the time periods specified therein written plans to (a) strengthen credit risk management policies; (b) improve the Bank’s position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in excess of $700,000 that are now past due more than 90 days as of the date of this Agreement, are on the Bank’s problem loan list, or adversely classified in any report of examination of the Bank; (c) maintain an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses; (d) revise its contingency funding plan; and (e) improve the Bank’s earnings and overall condition.  In addition, the Bank has agreed that it will not extend, renew or restructure any credit that has been criticized by the Reserve Bank absent prior approval by the board of directors consistent with the requirements of the Written Agreement.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, both the Company and the Bank have agreed to submit capital plans to maintain sufficient capital and to refrain from declaring or paying dividends without prior regulatory approval.  The Company has agreed that it will not take any other form of payment representing a reduction in Bank’s capital or make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior regulatory approval.  The Company also has agreed not to incur, increase or guarantee any debt or to purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval.

Pursuant to the terms of the Written Agreement, the Company and the Bank have appointed a committee to monitor compliance with the Written Agreement.  The directors of the Company and the Bank have recognized and unanimously agree with the common goal of financial soundness represented by the Written Agreement and have confirmed the intent of the directors and executive management to diligently seek to comply with all requirements of the Written Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Written Agreement is a summary and does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms of such agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Written Agreement filed with this Current Report.
