GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

Role and Composition of the Board of Directors

Our Companys Board of
Directors is the ultimate decision making body of the Company, except for matters which law or our Articles of Incorporation require the vote of shareholders. The Board of Directors selects the management of the Company which is responsible for the
Companys day to day operations. The Board acts as an advisor to management and also monitors its performance.

Members
of the Board of Directors serve also as Directors of Monarch Community Bank (the Bank). The Bank is the Companys wholly owned subsidiary.

Board Leadership Structure and Oversight of Risk

The Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer positions historically have been separate, with the Chairman being an outside director. The Company believes this structure permits the Board to better hold management accountable and decreases the possibility that a
person holding the combined offices could exercise undue influence on the Board.

The Board administers its risk oversight
function as follows:



| |  |  | By the adoption of Board Policies to address various risks.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | By the entire Board regularly reviewing and discussing reports on Interest Rate Risk, Liquidity, Capital, and Classified Assets, as well as delinquency
reports.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | By directing Management to perform annual risk assessments.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Through the Audit Committee, which directly engages annual third party reviews of Information Technology, Bank Secrecy Act compliance, Regulatory
Compliance, and Commercial Loans. All reports generated, together with Management responses, are reviewed by the Audit Committee, which then requires regular reports from Management on its progress in addressing all issues raised in such reports.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The internal audit function is performed by an external firm, Rehmann Robson. The Audit Committee reviews Internal Audit reports at its monthly
meetings. The Committee holds Management accountable to address all exceptions noted in Internal Audit and Examination reports. The Chief Risk Management Officer is responsible for tracking exception follow up.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Executive Committee

The Executive Committee generally acts in lieu of the full Board of Directors between board meetings. This committee is responsible for
formulating and implementing policy decisions, subject to review by the entire Board of Directors.

The Audit and Risk Committee

The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible the annual appointment of the public accounting firm to be our outside
auditors. The Committee is responsible for the following tasks:



| |  |  | maintaining a liaison with the outside auditors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reviewing the adequacy of internal controls;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reviewing all Board Policies annually;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | reviewing with management and outside auditors financial disclosures of the Company; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reviewing any material changes in accounting principles or practices used in preparing statements.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Audit Committee Financial Expert

While the Board of Directors endorses the effectiveness of our Audit Committee, its membership does not include a director who qualifies
for designation as an audit committee financial expert  a concept under federal regulation that contemplates such designation only when an audit committee member satisfies all five qualification requirements, such as experience (or
experience actively supervising others engaged in), preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements presenting a level of accounting complexity comparable to what is encountered in connection with our Companys
financial statements.

Asset and Liability Committee

The Board of Directors Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) meets regularly four times a year, after the end of each quarter. The Board ALCO now oversees such matters as the Companys
investment policy, asset/liability management, liability management, capital management, and interest rate risk management.

The Nominating
Committee

Our Board of Directors has a Nominating Committee, which in 2012 consisted of three directors. Messrs. Dally,
Mitchell, and Welch are the current members of this committee. The Nominating Committee identifies individuals to become board members and selects, or recommends for the boards selection, director nominees to be presented for shareholder
approval at the annual meeting of shareholders or to fill any vacancies. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Nominating Committee held one meeting.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee, a copy of which is available to shareholders on our website, at http://www.monarchcb.com, via the Investor
Relations tab. Each of the members of our Nominating Committee is independent.

The Nominating Committees policy
is to consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. Such recommendations must be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to

Andrew J. Van Doren, Secretary

Monarch Community Bancorp, Inc.

375 North Willowbrook Road

Coldwater, MI 49036

The Nominating Committee has established certain qualifications in order to be eligible for
service on the Board:



| |  |  | No person shall be eligible for election or appointment to the Board of Directors if such person (i) has, within the previous 10 years, been the
subject of supervisory action by a financial regulatory agency that resulted in a cease and desist order or an agreement or other written statement subject to public disclosure under 12 U.S.C. 1818 (u), or any successor provision, (ii) has been

Historically, the Nominating Committee used a subjective process for
identifying and evaluating nominees for director, based on the information available to, and the subjective judgments of, the members of the Nominating Committee and our then current needs; and nominees have been existing directors or business
associates of our directors or officers. In 2005, objective standards for evaluating director nominees were adopted, as follows:

A. Nominees for Directors of the Company shall possess such qualifications as the Companys Bylaws may require.

B. Nominees shall own, directly or indirectly, at least 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Shares owned jointly with other
persons shall be counted toward such minimum.

C. Nominees shall be at least 30 years of age as of the date of election to the
Board.

D. Nominees shall be citizens of the United States of America.

E. Nominees shall possess a Bachelors Degree from an accredited college or university, or shall possess employment experience
judged by the Committee to be the equivalent of such a degree.

F. Nominees shall possess a minimum of 10 years experience in
a least one of the following:



| |  |  | Management position(s) with a for-profit or non-profit entity;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Ownership of a business; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | Employment in a learned profession such as accounting or law.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

G. Nominees shall exhibit a basic understanding of financial statements and the banking industry.

H. Nominees shall not be or have been under any type of disciplinary order, sanction, or penalty from a national or state banking,
securities, or licensed profession regulatory body.

I. Nominees shall not have been convicted of a crime, other than
non-substance abuse related traffic offenses.

J. Nominees shall certify in writing that he or she possess the above
qualifications.

K. Nominees shall furnish such references as the Committee may request.

L. Nominees shall answer such questions and attend such interviews as the Committee shall request.

Nominees recommended by a shareholder also will be evaluated in accordance with the above standards. The Nominating Committee considers
diversity in identifying nominees for director, but has not adopted a formal written diversity policy. The complete Nominating Committee Policies and Procedures are available on our website, www.monarchcb.com, via the Investor
Relations tab.

under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding an amendment to, or a waiver from, a provision of our Code of Conduct that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer,
principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions and that relates to any element of the code definition enumerated in Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation S-K, Item 406(b) by posting such information

Shareholder Communications with the Board

Our Board of Directors has a
process for shareholders to send communications to the Board of Directors, its Nominating Committee, its Compensation Committee or its Audit Committee, including complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters.
Communications can be sent to the Board of Directors; its Nominating Committee, its Compensation Committee or its Audit Committee or specific directors either by regular mail to the attention of the Board of Directors, its Nominating Committee, its
Compensation Committee, its Audit Committee or specific directors, at our principal executive offices at 375 North Willowbrook Road, Coldwater, Michigan 49036. All of these communications will be reviewed by our Secretary (1) to filter out
communications that our Secretary deems are not appropriate for our directors, such as spam and communications offering to buy or sell products or services, and (2) to sort and relay the remainder to the appropriate directors. We encourage all
of our directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders, if possible. All of our then-current directors attended the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders.

Compliance with Section 16

Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Companys executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of any registered class of the Companys equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.
Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based on its review of the copies of the reports it has received and written representations provided to the Company from the individuals required to file the reports, the Company believes that all
Directors and Executives of the Company filed all reports required on a timely basis pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

|1. | The Director Compensation for Richard J. DeVries, President and CEO, is included in the Executive Summary Compensation Table
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The salaries and other cash compensation; fringe benefits including insurance plans and the 401(k) Plan are provided to the executive officers by the Bank. Stock-based compensation, including the Employee
Stock Ownership Plan, the 2003 Recognition and Retention Plan, and the 2003 Stock Option Plan, is awarded by the Company. This section describes the current compensation policy as endorsed by the Companys Board of Directors and the
Compensation Committee. The executive compensation program of the Bank has been designed to:



| | 1. | Provide a pay-for-performance policy that differentiates compensation amounts based upon corporate and individual performance.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | Provide compensation opportunities comparable to those offered by other Michigan-based financial institutions and Eastern US banks of similar asset size, thus allowing
the Bank to compete for and retain talented executives who are essential to the long-term success of the Company and the Bank.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | Align the interest of the executive officers with the long-term interest of the Companys shareholders through the ownership of Company Common Stock.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The executive compensation program is comprised of salary, opportunities for annual cash bonuses, participation
in the ESOP, participation in the Incentive Stock Option Plan and participation in the Retention and Recognition Plan (RRP). An executive officers salary is based on a number of factors, including, (1) the Banks performance as
compared to internally established goals for the most recently ended fiscal year and to the performance of other Michigan-based financial institutions, (2) the individual officers level of responsibility with the Bank and
(3) comparisons to salaries paid to officers holding similar positions in other Michiganbased financial institutions.

The award of an annual cash bonus is made in the discretion of the Board of Directors and is pursuant to a formal plan or formula. There was no 2012 bonus plan, nor is there a bonus plan for 2013. Future
bonus plans will be as established in the Companys annual budget and business plan. The Company currently does not plan to recover or reduce payments if the relevant terms of the Companys performance are restated or otherwise adjusted in
a manner that would reduce the size of a payment, except to extent required because of the Companys participation in the U.S. Treasurys Capital Purchase Plan.



- 11 -



---

The Bank, as plan sponsor of the ESOP, made an ESOP contribution which was allocated among
all participating employees of the Bank, including the executive officers based on their annual salaries. The Compensation Committee uses the award of stock options and/or available Recognition and Retention Plan stock to officers to align the
officers interests with those of the shareholders; significant vesting periods are also used to retain employees. The amount of stock granted is determined by reviewing the practices of other financial institutions based on information
provided by an outside reliable research consultant to the Board of Directors.

The current salary of the Chief Executive
Officer was set by the Board of Directors after negotiations between Mr. DeVries and the Compensation Committee prior to his appointment in July 2010. Any future increases will occur after a performance appraisal.

The annual salaries of the other executive officers generally are based on their annual performance appraisals and the recommendations of
the Chief Executive Officer, within the constraints of the budget adopted by the Board of Directors. The budget for 2013 does not include general salary increases.

In 1993, Section 162 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code was amended to place limits on the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to executive officers of publicly held
companies. The Board of Directors of the Company does not believe, however, that the amendment has had or will have any impact on the compensation policies followed by the Board.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table shows, for the year ended
December 31, 2012, the cash compensation paid, as well as certain other compensation paid or accrued, to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the other executive officers who received over $100,000 in total compensation
during such years.

CEO Employment Agreement

There currently is no Employment Agreement with Mr. DeVries.

Management Continuity Agreements

On December 16, 2004, the Company
entered into management continuity agreements with Andrew J. Van Doren, Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Vicki L. Bassage, Monarch Community Bank Senior Vice President, and on February 21, 2008 with Rebecca S. Crabill, Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; (each an Executive). The agreements are valid for a period of one year and renew automatically for successive one-year periods, unless the Board of Directors of the Company indicates by
resolution adopted at least three months prior to the end of the relevant one-year term that the agreements shall not be renewed.

The following paragraphs describe the post-termination benefits payable to Executive. During the period that the U.S. Treasury holds preferred stock of the Company pursuant to the TARP Capital
Purchase Program, the Company may be prohibited or restricted from making the payments to Executive as described in these paragraphs.

Pursuant to the agreements if, during a change in control period, Executive is terminated other than for cause, death, disability or retirement, or if Executive terminates his employment for good reason,
then the Executive is entitled to receive his annual base salary for a period of twelve months following the date of termination and ongoing health insurance coverage for Executive and his family under the Banks health care plan for a period
of twelve months. If Executives employment is terminated by reason of death, disability or retirement during the change in control period, then the agreement terminates and the Company must pay Executive his annual base salary through the date
of termination and any benefits that have accrued prior to that date. If Executives employment is terminated for cause, then the agreement terminates without any further obligations to Executive.

A change in control is defined to include the following: (A) any third person becoming the beneficial owner of shares of
the Company with respect to which 25% or more of the total number votes for the election of the Board may be cast; (B) a change in control of the Companys subsidiary bank within the meaning of the Home Owners Loan Act of 1933; (C) as
a result of or in connection with, any merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, wherein the persons who are directors of the Company before such transaction or event ceased to constitute a majority of the Board of
the Company or any successor to the Company; or (D) the Company transfers substantially all of its assets to another corporation or entity which is not an affiliate of the Company. The change in control period is defined as the
period commencing on the date of the change in control and ending twelve months later.

Cause is defined as
termination due to Executives personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, failure to perform stated duties or to follow one or more specific written directives of the Board,
reasonable in nature and scope, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease and

---

desist order, or material breach of any provision of the agreement. Good reason generally includes: (A) if Executive would be required to move his personal residence or perform
his principal executive functions more than 25 miles from the Executives primary office; (B) if the Company should fail to maintain Executives base salary or fail to maintain employee benefit plans or arrangements generally
comparable to those currently in place; or (C) if Executive is assigned substantial duties and responsibilities other than those normally associated with his current position.

In the event of disputes under the agreement, the parties have agreed to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association and have waived their right to a trial by jury.

Assuming termination occurred on December 31,
2012, the estimated total post-employment payments due under these agreements (assuming current salary and health insurance costs) are as follows:

2003 Recognition and Retention Plan

The Recognition Plan acquired 92,575 shares of Common Stock. At December 31, 2012, 92,275 shares had been granted to current or former directors and executive officers, and 85,549 of such shares had
vested. Under the Recognition Plan, shares are awarded as restricted stock which vests in equal annual installments over the five-year period from the date of grant. The dividends on unvested shares are paid to the grantee. Currently grants are made
by the Compensation Committee on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, based the grantees performance.

If
the grantees employment terminates, all unvested shares are forfeited unless due to a change in control of the Company, death or disability; upon the occurrence of any such event, all unvested shares become vested.

Unvested shares are not transferable. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Companys Common Stock because of
any recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, merger, or any other change in the corporate structure of the Company or in the shares of Common Stock, the
number and class of shares awarded shall be appropriately adjusted by the Compensation Committee.

2003 Stock Option Plan

A total of 231,438 shares of Common Stock were reserved under the 2003 Stock Option Plan for awards to directors and employees. 78,151 of
such shares are available for future grant. The option price is the market price on the date of the award. Currently awards are made by the Compensation Committee on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer.

In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Companys Common Stock because of any recapitalization, stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, merger, or any other change in the corporate structure of the Company or in the shares of Common Stock, the number and class of shares awarded and
the exercise price shall be appropriately adjusted by the Compensation Committee.

If an option-holders employment is terminated for cause, all options are forfeited. In
the event of voluntary termination or termination other than for cause (except termination after a change in control of the Company), unvested options are forfeited; vested options must be exercised within three months of termination (one year in
the event of termination because of disability) or are forfeited.

In the event of termination following a change in control
of the Company, all unexercised options, including unvested options, become exercisable.

Options are not transferable, except
that in the event of death the person to whom the options are transferred by will or the laws of descent may exercise the options that were vested at death within one year of the death of the Optionee. However, the Company has the discretion to pay
the amount by which the Market Value per share of Common stock on the date of exercise of the Options exceeds the Exercise Price per Option Share, multiplied by the number of Option Shares exercised.

401(k) Plan

The Bank
has a 401(k) Plan in which substantially all employees may participate. Until December 31, 2009, the 401(k) Plan provided for matching contributions equal to 25% on the first 6% of the participants 401(k) deferrals for the year. Employer
contributions become 20% vested for each year of employment, with full vesting after five years. Effective January 1, 2010, the Plan no longer provides for matching contributions.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust

The Bank has established an ESOP
for employees of the Bank. Full-time employees who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period and who have attained age 21 are eligible to participate in our employee stock ownership plan.

The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company to purchase 185,150 shares of Common Stock in the Banks conversion from mutual to stock
form. The original loan to the ESOP was to be repaid principally from the Banks contributions to the ESOP over a period of ten years, and the collateral for the loan is the Common Stock purchased by the ESOP. Effective January 1, 2007,
the loan was amended to provide for payback over an additional five years. The amendment thus reduced the annual compensation costs attributable to the ESOP.

Effective January 1, 2007, the vesting schedule was changed from five year cliff vesting (which required five full years of employment before a participant became vested) to a vesting
schedule under which participants become 20% vested for each year of employment, with full vesting after five years. The ESOP is subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and the regulations of the Internal
Revenue Service and the Department of Labor thereunder.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director
Independence

Transactions with Certain Related Persons

We have followed a written policy of granting consumer loans and loans secured by the borrowers personal residence to our officers, directors and employees. Loans to all officers and directors must
be reported to the Board of Directors. Loans exceeding $500,000 (when aggregated) must be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors. All loans to our employees, executive officers and directors were made in the ordinary course of
business and on the same terms and conditions as those of comparable transactions prevailing at the time for comparable loans to persons not related to the lender, in accordance with our underwriting guidelines, and do not involve more than the
normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. All loans to directors and executive officers were performing in accordance with their terms at December 31, 2012.

The Company has a written policy requiring annual disclosure by directors and executive officers of the identity of immediate family members and related interests and all transactions between the Company
and related persons or interests, which must be on the same terms as transactions with unrelated parties. The Company Secretary maintains records of the disclosures. Other than loans granted by the Companys subsidiary, Monarch Community Bank
under the policies discussed above, there were no transactions with related persons in 2012.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Adamson, Dally, Dobbins, Gordon, Loomis, Mitchell, Ross, and Welch are independent. All of our
Directors attended 75 percent or more of the meetings of the Board and the Board Committees on which they served in 2012.
