Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 30, 2009, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") Capital Purchase Program, Oak Ridge Financial Services, Inc. ("ORFS") entered into a Letter Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury"), pursuant to which ORFS sold (i) 7,700 shares of ORFS' Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and (ii) a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 163,830 shares of ORFS' common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), for an aggregate purchase price of $7,700,000 in cash. The description of the Purchase Agreement contained herein is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Series A Preferred Stock will qualify as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of ORFS. The form of the certificate for the Series A Preferred Stock is attached as Exhibit 4.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by ORFS after three years at its liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Prior to January 30, 2012, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by ORFS only with proceeds from a "Qualified Equity Offering" (as defined in the Articles of Amendment described in Item 5.03 and attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein). The description of the Series A Preferred Stock contained herein is a summary and is qualified in its entirely by reference to the Articles of Amendment.

The Warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, equal to $7.05 per share of the Common Stock. If ORFS receives aggregate gross cash proceeds of not less than $7,700,000 from Qualified Equity Offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Treasury's exercise of the Warrant will be reduced by one half of the original number of shares, taking into account all adjustments, underlying the Warrant. Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant. The description of the Warrant contained herein is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant attached as Exhibit 4.3 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant were issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon the request of Treasury at any time, ORFS has agreed to promptly enter into a deposit arrangement pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Stock may be deposited and depositary shares ("Depositary Shares"), representing fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, may be issued. ORFS has agreed that, upon the request of the Treasury, at any time, it will register the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant (the "Warrant Shares") and Depositary Shares, if any. Neither the Series A Preferred Stock nor the Warrant are subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer, except that Treasury may only transfer or exercise an aggregate of one-half of the Warrant Shares prior to the earlier of the redemption of 100% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and December 31, 2009.

As part of the sale of Series A Preferred Stock by ORFS to the Treasury, ORFS agreed, so long as Treasury continues to hold debt or equity in ORFS, to take all necessary actions to ensure that ORFS' compensation arrangements and benefits plans with respect to "senior executive officers" comply with
Section 111(b) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and any related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The senior executive officers executed waivers waiving any claim against Treasury or ORFS for any changes in their compensation or benefits required to comply with Treasury regulations. The senior executive officers - Ronald O. Black, Thomas W. Wayne and L. William Vasaly, III - also entered into agreements with ORFS amending their respective employment agreements to the extent necessary to comply with . . .

The redemption, purchase or other acquisition of any trust preferred securities issued by ORFS or its affiliates is also restricted. These restrictions will terminate on the earlier of (a) January 30, 2012, or (b) the date on which the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed in whole or the Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to third parties.

In addition, pursuant to ORFS' Articles of Amendment, filed with the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State on January 28, 2009, the ability of ORFS to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Junior Stock and Parity Stock are subject to restrictions in the event that ORFS fails to declare and pay full dividends (or declare and set aside a sum sufficient for payment thereof) on the Series A Preferred Stock.
