2006 EXECUTIVE STOCK BONUS PLAN
     Section 1. Title. This plan shall be known as the “Fentura Financial, Inc.
2006 Executive Stock Bonus Plan” and is referenced to herein as the “Plan.”
     Section 2. Adoption of the Plan. The Plan was approved by the Board of
Directors (“Board”) of Fentura Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) on November 30,
2006.
     Section 3. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board, or
if the Board so directs, the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Board

automatically eligible to receive grants under this Plan.
     Section 5. Grants. The administrator of the Plan shall have the authority

doing, the administrator will have full latitude and discretion as to whether or
when, if ever, to make grants and as to any and all matters incident to such
grants, including (a) the selection of Eligible Employees to receive grants,
(b) the criteria, objective or subjective, to be used in deciding whether, when
or to what extent to make grants, (c) restrictive terms of grants (such as
vesting periods, restrictions on resale abilities, etc), and (d) any and all

Plan in any respect as it deems advisable, subject to approval by the Board or
Compensation Committee. Neither the existence of this Plan nor the fact that any
shares may have (at any time) been granted hereunder, will create any
entitlement or expectation in any person that he/she will receive any (or any
further) grants hereunder.
     Section 6. Withholding. The recipient of a grant shall be fully responsible
for all federal, state and local withholding or similar tax obligations in
respect of the grant. The administrator may, if it deems it advisable and to the
extent legally permissible, allow a recipient to meet withholding obligations
with shares of the Common Stock being granted valued at the “Fair Market Value”
of such shares. “Fair Market Value” means, on any given date, (a) if the Company
Common Stock is, on the given date, listed on a national securities exchange,
Fair Market Value shall be the average of the highest and lowest selling price
for the given date, or the most recent date upon which sales occurred, (b) if
(a) does not apply, then Fair Market Value shall be the average of the highest
and lowest selling price for the Company Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq
Stock Market for the given date, or the most recent date upon which sales were
reported, (c) if neither (a) nor (b) applies, Fair Market Value shall be the
average of the final bid and asked prices for the Company Common Stock as quoted
for the given date in whatever medium then issues such quotes, or the most
recent date upon which such quotes were published, (d) if none of (a), (b), or
(c) applies, then Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Board based on
such valuation methods and/or indicia of value as the Board deems advisable at
the time of such determination. The use by the Board of any method or indicia of
value to determine Fair Market Value on any valuation date will not, of itself,
preclude the Board from use of a different method or indicia on a subsequent
valuation date.

     Section 7. Securities Laws. The recipient of a grant will, as a condition
of such grant, agree to any and all applicable procedures and restrictions
associated with the grant or a subsequent resale of the shares as may be imposed
under the state and federal securities laws. This Plan contemplates that grants
under this Plan will not be registered under the Act, but will be made pursuant
to a claim of exemption from such registration requirements. Accordingly, shares
acquired under this Plan will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of
the Act and generally may not be resold prior to one year after the date of
issuance, and then only in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144
promulgated under the Act.
     Section 8. Amendment. The Board shall have complete power and authority to
amend the Plan at any time and no approval by the Company’s shareholders or any
other person shall be required to make any amendment.
     Section 9. Suspension or Termination. The Board shall have the right and
power to suspend the operation of or terminate the Plan at any time. If not
earlier terminated, the Plan will terminate on December 31, 2016. No shares of
Common Stock will be issuable under the Plan while it is suspended or after the
termination date.
     Section 10. Records. The Administrator shall maintain and the Board
periodically review records of all actions and activities in connection with
administering the Plans.
