As previously disclosed in filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), The South Financial Group, Inc.

"SERPs") with each of its current executive officers, including all Named
Executive Officers ("NEOs") set forth in its Preliminary Proxy Statement for its
2010 Annual Meeting (filed with the SEC on March 19, 2010).

This action was taken voluntarily and as an
expression of support for TSFG.
Copies of the letter amendments for the NEOs
are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
