STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

     This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT is entered into by and between FENTURA FINANCIAL, INC., a
Michigan corporation and a registered bank holding company (“Seller”), and the individuals and
trust set forth on Exhibit 1 (each a “Buyer” and collectively the “Buyers”).

     WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of West Michigan
Community Bank, a Michigan banking corporation; and

     WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell to Buyers, and Buyers desire to purchase from Seller, all of
the stock of the Bank, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of such inducements and of the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

     The following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them for all purposes of this
Agreement.

     “Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity” means the consolidated tangible shareholders’ equity of the
Bank, calculated in accordance with GAAP and reflecting, among other things, the Loan Transfer (and
any ALLL adjustment associated therewith), the ORE Transfer and the accrued income and expenses of
the Bank for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, but adjusted to exclude:

          (i) any adjustments made in accordance with other comprehensive income or loss position; and

          (ii) any expenses incurred (including those related to stay bonuses or the like) or accounting
or other adjustments made in response to a request made by Buyers not required by GAAP; and

          (iii) adjustments (if any) required by FASB ASC 805-10, Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R));
and

          (iv) 9.09091% of any capital contribution by Seller to the Bank (excluding loan, lease and ORE
purchases) between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, with the net effect that every
$1.00 of capital contribution to the Bank will increase the Purchase Price by $1.00. (For example,
if Seller makes a $1,000,000 capital contribution to the Bank, then $90,909.10 would be excluded
from Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity so that only the remaining $909,090.90 would be included for
purposes of calculating the Purchase Price, and that $909,090.90 when multiplied by 1.1 pursuant to
the Purchase Price definition would result in a $1,000,000 increase to the Purchase Price); and

          (v) fees and costs paid by the Bank as described in Section 5.11.

1

 

Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity shall initially be calculated (the “Preliminary Calculation”) by
Seller, in consultation with Agent, as of the close of business on the third (3rd)
Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, using reasonable estimates of revenues and
expenses through the Closing Date where actual amounts are not available. For purposes of this
calculation, Seller shall assume a tax rate of 34%. Within ten (10) Business Days after the
Closing Date, Seller shall deliver Agent the calculation of adjusted Shareholders’ Equity which
will include appropriate adjustments based upon actual data as of the close of Business on the
Closing Date. Such calculation shall be subject to verification and approval by Agent, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Agent shall notify Seller of any disputes with
respect thereto within ten (10) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt thereof. The parties shall
thereupon, if necessary, adjust the final Purchase Price and make payments to the other party, as
applicable, within five (5) Business Days.

the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

connection with the Order to Cease and Desist and as may be required to permit stock redemptions
associated with termination of the Bank’s participation in Bank Employee Plans, no notice to,

equity principles, and except to the extent such enforceability may be limited by laws relating to
safety and soundness of insured depository institutions or by the appointment of a conservator by
any Regulatory Authority.

     (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor completion of the transactions

3.9 Regulatory Reports

     The Bank has duly filed with each Regulatory Authority and any other applicable Governmental
Entity all reports, notices, and other documents required to be filed under applicable laws and
regulations, except to the extent that all failures to so file any such reports, notices, or other
documents, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Bank. All such
reports were, in all material respects, complete and accurate and in compliance with the
requirements of applicable laws and regulations. Except as described in the Order to Cease and
Desist or in Schedule 3.9, in connection with the most recent examination of the Bank by
the appropriate Regulatory Authorities as of June 30, 2009, the Bank was not required to correct or

Call Report Instructions, and (iii) fairly present the financial position and results of operations
of the Bank on the dates and for the periods indicated therein. The Bank Financial Statements do

inclusion or omission of which renders the Bank Financial Statements, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, misleading in any material respect. Any audits of the Bank have been

audit, examination, or deficiency or refund litigation with respect to any such return is pending
or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, threatened.

     (c) The Bank (i) is a party with Seller to an agreement providing for the allocation or
sharing of taxes (which will be terminated on or before the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.18
hereof), and (ii) is not required to include in income any adjustment pursuant to Section 481(a) of
the Code by reason of a voluntary change in accounting method initiated by the Bank (nor does

3.13 Legal Proceedings

     Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13, there are no actions, suits, claims,
governmental investigations, or proceedings instituted, pending or, to Seller’s knowledge,

interest,
or right of the Bank, or against any officer, director, or employee of the Bank (with respect
to such person’s employment by or other association with the Bank). Except for the Order to Cease
and Desist, the Bank is not a party to any material order, judgment, or decree.

contemplated by this Agreement. To Seller’s knowledge, no suspension or cancellation of any of the
same is threatened.

Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code to the effect that such Bank
Employee Plan and associated trust include all applicable provisions required by the Code

13

 

and that the trust associated with such Bank Employee Plan is exempt from tax under Section 501 of the Code.
Nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, that could reasonably be expected to
cause the loss of such qualification. The Bank does not have any liability under any such Bank
Employee Plan that is not reflected in the Bank Financial Statements, other than liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection therewith subsequent to the date thereof.

     (e) No transaction prohibited by Section 406 of ERISA (and not exempt under Section 408 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) has occurred with respect to any Bank Employee Plan that would
result in the imposition, directly or indirectly, of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code
or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on the Bank.

     (f) Full payment has been made (or proper accruals have been established) of all contributions
which are required for periods prior to the date of this Agreement, and full payment will be so
made (or proper accruals will be so established) of all contributions which are required for
periods after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, under the terms of each Bank
Employee Plan or ERISA.

     (g) The Bank Employee Plans have been operated in material compliance with the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code, all regulations, rulings, and announcements promulgated or issued
thereunder, and all other applicable governmental laws and regulations. All contributions required

contributions required to be made to Bank Employee Plans as of the Closing will have been made as

claims for benefits) by, on behalf of, or against any Bank Employee Plans or any trust related
thereto or any fiduciary thereof. No administrative investigation, audit or other administrative
proceeding by the United States Department of Labor, the PBGC, the IRS or other federal or state
governmental agencies are pending, in progress, or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened.

     (i) No Bank Employee Plan provides retiree welfare benefits, and the Bank is not obligated to
provide any retiree welfare benefits except as required under Section 4980B of the Code.

     (j) No Bank Employee Plan exists that could result in the payment to any present or former
employee of the Bank of any money or other property or accelerate or provide any other rights or
benefits to any present or former employee of the Bank as a result of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

     (k) No ERISA Affiliate has directly or indirectly acted in any manner or incurred any
obligation or liability, and will not directly or indirectly act in any manner in the future to
incur
any obligation or liability in the future with respect to any benefit plan which has or could give
rise to any liens on any of Bank’s assets, or which could result in any liability or obligation to
Bank, whether arising out of establishing, operating, administering, or terminating such benefit
plans or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,

14

 

“ERISA Affiliate” means each other person or entity required to be aggregated with Bank
under Code Section 414(b), (c), (m), or (o).

Bank or require any material payments by the Bank. No work stoppage involving the Bank is pending
or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened. The Bank is not involved in or, to Seller’s knowledge,
threatened with or affected by, any labor dispute, arbitration, lawsuit, or administrative

Instructions to provide for reasonably anticipated losses on outstanding loans, net of recoveries,
and consistent with the Bank’s policies and past practice. The other real estate owned reflected in
the Bank Financial Statements (if any) is carried in a manner consistent with the requirements of
the Call Report Instructions and consistent with the Bank’s policies and past practices. All

any liability for taxes (and, to Seller’s knowledge, there is no past or present fact, situation,
circumstance, condition, or other basis for any present or future action, suit, proceeding,
hearing, charge, complaint, claim, or demand against the Bank giving rise to any such liability)
except and to the extent (i) reflected, disclosed, or provided for in the Bank’s Financial

in accordance with prudent banking practices, and are not subject to any known defenses, set-offs,
or counterclaims, including any such as are afforded by usury or truth in lending laws, except as
may be provided by bankruptcy, solvency, or similar laws or by general principles of equity. The
notes or other evidence of indebtedness evidencing such loans and all forms of pledges, mortgages,

rules, regulations, and policies and with counter parties believed to be financially responsible at
the time and are legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Bank in force in accordance with
their terms (subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,

     The Bank has not received any notice of non-compliance with the applicable provisions of the
CRA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Bank has received a CRA rating of

fashion that
complies in all material respects with all applicable laws, regulations, orders, agreements, wills,

resolved and any cost of such resolution is reflected in Seller’s Financial Statements.

3.31 True and Complete Information

     No schedule, statement, list, certificate, or other information furnished or to be furnished
by Seller in connection with this Agreement, including the Disclosure Statement, contains or will

necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are
made, not misleading.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

     Buyers hereby make the representations and warranties set forth in this Article IV to Seller.

4.1 Purchase for Own Account

     Each Buyer is acquiring its respective Stock for its own account for investment, is not
purchasing the Stock hereby for the benefit of any other person, and has no present intention of
holding or managing the Stock with others or of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of any
portion of the Stock.

4.2 Accredited Buyer

     Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as determined pursuant to Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933.

4.3 Restricted Securities

     (a) Each Buyer understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 in reliance upon an exemption from registration. Each Buyer also
understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely, unless they are later registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available, and
that the Company has no obligation to register its stock. The Buyers will not transfer the Shares
in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the rules
promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Each Buyer agrees that it
will not dispose of the Shares unless and until it has complied with all requirements of this
Agreement applicable to the disposition of Shares and it has provided the Bank with written
assurances, in substance and form satisfactory to the Bank, that the proposed disposition does not
require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or all appropriate action necessary for

20

 

compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or with any exemption from
registration available under the Securities Act (including Rule 144) has been taken.

     (b) The Buyer is aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a
non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

4.4 Legends

     Each Buyer understands that the certificates evidencing the Shares will bear the legend set
forth below, together with any other legends required by the appropriate state and federal laws:

	 	 	THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR
INVESTMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO OR FOR SALE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED
UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, IS IN
EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES OR THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION IN
FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE BANK PROVIDING THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, IS AVAILABLE.

	 	 	THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT, ENCUMBRANCE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES OF
CAPITAL STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS OF A
CERTAIN SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BANK AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, A COPY OF WHICH
IS ON FILE AT THE OFFICES OF THE BANK.

The legends set forth above shall be removed by the Bank from any certificate evidencing any of the
Shares only (i) upon receipt by the Bank of an opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the
Bank that such legend may be removed pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or
(ii) upon confirmation that a registration statement under the Securities Act is
at that time in effect with respect to the Shares and that such transfer will not jeopardize the
exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Shares were issued.

4.5 Legal Proceedings

     There are no actions, suits, claims, governmental investigations, or proceedings instituted,
pending, or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyers or against any asset, interest, or
right of Buyer that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyers as a
group.

21

 

4.6 Brokers and Finders

     Buyer has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any broker or finder
fees or commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.7 Available Funds

     Buyers collectively have all of the funds necessary for the payment of the Purchase Price.
There is no reasons known to any Buyer why Buyers will not have sufficient cash available on the
Closing Date to enable each Buyer to comply with its obligation to pay its portion of the Purchase
Price and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.8 Approval Delays

     No Buyer is aware of any reason why the granting of any Requisite Regulatory Approvals would
be denied or unduly delayed.

4.9 True and Complete Information

     No schedule, statement, list, certificate, or other information furnished or to be furnished
by Buyers in connection with this Agreement, including information provided in connection with
obtaining the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a
material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

COVENANTS

5.1 Reasonable Best Efforts

     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties (i) shall use its
reasonable best efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or
cause to be done, all things necessary or advisable under applicable laws and regulations so as to
permit and otherwise enable completion of the sale of Stock as promptly as reasonably practicable,
and (ii) shall cooperate fully with each other to that end.

5.2 Regulatory Matters

     (a) The Parties shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to
promptly prepare and file, within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement or as soon
thereafter as is reasonably practicable, all necessary documentation to obtain all Requisite
Regulatory Approvals and all permits, consents, approvals, and authorizations of any other third
parties that either Party believes are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Each application, filing, and other written materials submitted to
any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to both Agent and Seller prior to the submission of such
materials to the third party or Governmental Entity. In exercising the

22

 

foregoing right, each of the
Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyers
shall be primarily responsible for and shall bear all expenses in connection with preparing and
filing all applications for the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.

     (b) Buyers and Seller shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning
themselves, their respective Subsidiaries, directors, and officers, and such other matters as may
be reasonably necessary in connection with any statement, filing, notice, or application made by or
on behalf of Buyers, Seller, or the Bank to any Governmental Entity in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby.

     (c) Buyers and Seller shall promptly furnish each other with copies of written communications
received by Buyers or Seller, as the case may be, or delivered by, any of the foregoing to any
Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.3 Investigation and Confidentiality

     (a) Seller shall permit Agent and his representatives reasonable access to the properties and
personnel of the Bank and shall disclose and make available to Buyers and their representatives,
upon Agent’s reasonable request, all books, papers, and records relating to the assets, Stock
ownership, properties, operations, obligations, and liabilities of the Bank, including all books of
account (including the general ledger), tax records, minute books of meetings of boards of
directors (and any committees thereof) and shareholders, organizational documents, bylaws, material
contracts and agreements, filings with any Governmental Entity, accountants’ work papers,
litigation files, loan files, plans affecting employees, and any other business activities or
prospects in which Buyers may have a reasonable interest, provided that such access and any such
reasonable request shall be reasonably related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and, in the reasonable opinion of Seller, will not unduly interfere with normal operations or
constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Buyers may conduct real property surveys of
and obtain title insurance for the Bank’s headquarters and branch real property. Seller shall
cause the Bank to make its directors, officers, employees, and authorized representatives
(including counsel and independent public accountants) available to confer with Agent and his
representatives, provided that such access shall be reasonably related to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and, in the reasonable opinion of Seller, will not unduly interfere
with normal operations or constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.

     (b) All information furnished in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as the sole property of the Party furnishing the
information until the Closing. If the Closing does not occur, the Party receiving the information
shall (i) either destroy or return to the Party that furnished such information any and all
documents or other materials containing, reflecting, or referring to such information, (ii) use its
best efforts to keep confidential all such information, and (iii) not directly or indirectly use
such information for any competitive or other commercial purposes. The obligation to keep such
information confidential shall continue for five (5) years from the date this Agreement is
terminated but shall not apply to (i) any information which (x) the Party receiving the information
can establish was already in its possession prior to the disclosure thereof by the Party furnishing
the information; (y) was then generally known to the public; or (z) became

23

 

known to the public through no fault of the Party receiving the information; or (ii)
disclosures pursuant to a legal requirement or in accordance with an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, provided that the Party that is the subject of any such legal requirement or order
shall use its best efforts to give the furnishing Party at least ten (10) business days prior
notice thereof.

     (c) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a customary landlord estoppel
certificate with respect to the lease for the branch location at 81 East Eighth Street, Holland,
Michigan 49423.

5.4 Press Releases

     Each of the Parties agrees that it will not issue any press release or make any public
disclosure related to this Agreement or the sale of the Stock without obtaining the prior written
consent of the other Party, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit any
party, following notification to the other Party, from making any disclosure that is required by
law or regulation including, but not limited to, Securities and Exchange Commission reporting
requirements.

5.5 Business of the Parties

     (a) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the Closing, except
as expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of

its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice. During such period, Seller will
use reasonable efforts to (x) preserve the business organization of the Bank intact, (y) keep
available to the Bank the present services of the employees of the Bank, provided, Buyers and
Seller each acknowledge and agree that, effective on the Closing Date, the employment of the Bank’s
CEO will be terminated and such CEO will thereafter become employed by Seller or another Subsidiary
of Seller, and (z) preserve for itself and Buyer the goodwill of the customers of the Bank and
others with whom the Bank has business relationships. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, except (i) with the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, (ii) as contemplated in this Agreement, and (iii) as otherwise disclosed in
the Disclosure Schedule, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller shall use all
reasonable efforts to prevent the Bank from doing any of the following:

cash, stock, or property or any combination thereof) in respect of the Stock;

     (ii) issue any shares of its capital stock; issue, grant, modify, or authorize any
Rights; purchase or redeem any shares of the Stock; or effect any recapitalization,

     (vi) enter into (w) any transaction, agreement, arrangement, or commitment not made in

to the borrowing of money by the Bank or the guarantee by the Bank of any such obligation,
except in the case of deposits, FHLB advances, federal funds purchased, and securities sold
under agreements to repurchase in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice, (y) any agreement, arrangement, or commitment relating to the employment of an
employee or consultant, or amend any such existing agreement, arrangement, or commitment,
provided that the Bank may employ an employee in the ordinary course of business if the
employment of such employee is terminable at will without liability, other than as required
by law; or (z) any contract, agreement, or understanding with a labor union;

     (vii) change its method of accounting (including, but not limited to, its policies and
practices for loan classification and determination of ALLL) in effect for the year ended

accepted accounting principles or Call Report Instructions, or change any of its methods of
reporting income and deductions for federal income tax purposes from those employed in the
preparation of its federal income tax return for such year, except as required by changes in
laws or regulations;

     (viii) make any capital expenditures in excess of $10,000 individually or $25,000 in
the aggregate, other than (a) in the ordinary course of business, (b) in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) pursuant to binding commitments disclosed
on the Disclosure Schedule that are existing on the date of this Agreement, and (d)

     (x) except for purchases of U.S. Treasury securities or U.S. Government agency

25

 

have maturities of ninety (90) days or less), purchase any securities or make any

asset transfers, or purchase of any assets, in any person, or otherwise acquire direct or
indirect control over any person, other than in connection with foreclosures or other
repossessions in the ordinary course of business;

     (xi) enter or agree to enter into any agreement or arrangement granting any
preferential right to purchase any of its assets or rights or requiring the consent of any
party to the transfer and assignment of any such assets or rights;

     (xii) except as necessitated in the reasonable opinion of Seller due to changes in
interest rates, and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, and except to the
extent required by law or any Regulatory Authority, change or modify in any material respect
any of its lending or investment policies;

     (xiii) except as necessitated in the reasonable opinion of Seller due to changes in

interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in market rates of
interest;

     (xiv) materially increase or decrease the rate of interest paid on time deposits, or on
certificates of deposit, except in a manner and pursuant to policies consistent with past
practices or to reflect changes in market interest rates;

     (xv) take any action that would result in any of the representations and warranties of
Seller contained in this Agreement not to be true and correct at the Closing or that would
cause any of the conditions precedent to the Closing not to be satisfied;

     (xvi) take any action that would materially impede or delay the completion of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of any Party to perform its
covenants and agreements under this Agreement; or

     (xvii) agree to do any of the foregoing.

     (b) Except with the prior written consent of Seller, or as required by applicable law or any
rule, regulation, order, or directive of any Governmental Entity, or as expressly contemplated
hereby, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Buyers shall not:

     (i) take any action that would result in any of the representations and warranties of
Buyers contained in this Agreement not to be true and correct at the Closing or that would
cause any of the conditions precedent to the Closing not to be satisfied;

26

 

     (ii) take any action that would materially impede or delay the completion of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ability of any Party to perform its
covenants and agreements under this Agreement; or

     (iii) agree to do any of the foregoing.

5.6 Current Information; Supplements to Disclosure Schedule

     (a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing, Seller shall, upon
Buyers’ request, cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a monthly or more
frequent basis with Agent regarding the Bank’s financial condition, operations, business, and
matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As soon as
reasonably practicable, Seller will deliver to Agent each Call Report and similar report filed by
the Bank with the FRS, FDIC, or the Commissioner concurrently with the filing of such report.

     (b) Seller agrees to give prompt written notice to Agent and Buyers each agree to give prompt
written notice to Seller upon becoming aware of any change or any condition, event, circumstance,
fact, or occurrence, other than as provided in this Agreement, that may reasonably be expected to
(i) result in a Material Adverse Effect on such Party or on the Bank, (ii) cause or constitute a
material breach of any of such Party’s representations, warranties, or covenants contained in this
Agreement, or (iii) materially impede or delay the completion of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the ability of such Party to perform its covenants and agreements under this
Agreement. Any Party about which notice is given shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent or
promptly to cure such change, condition, event, circumstance, fact, or occurrence, to the extent
the same is within the Party’s reasonable control.

     (c) From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller shall promptly supplement or amend the
Disclosure Schedule, other than Schedule 5.12 (which shall not be modified unless agreed to
in writing by Seller and Buyers, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.12 of this Agreement),
with respect to any matter arising after the date of this Agreement which, if existing, occurring,
or known as of the date of this Agreement, would have caused any representation or warranty made by
Seller in this Agreement to not be true and accurate or which is necessary to correct any
information in such materials which has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. No such
supplement or amendment to such materials shall be deemed to have modified the representations,
warranties, and covenants of Seller for the purpose of determining whether the conditions precedent
of this Agreement have been satisfied.

5.7 Continuing Indemnification of Bank’s Officers and Directors

     (a) Seller agrees, for a period of two (2) consecutive years beginning at the Closing, to
indemnify and hold harmless the past and present directors and officers of the Bank (the
“Indemnified Parties”) for all acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing to the same
extent such persons are indemnified and held harmless under the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws of the Bank in the form in effect at the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, all limitations of liability existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties in the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Bank as of the date of this Agreement, to the extent
permissible

27

 

under applicable law as of the date of this Agreement, arising out of matters existing or
occurring at or prior to the Closing, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force
and effect.

     (b) The provisions of (a) above shall have no effect on any act or omission that constitutes a
breach of a warranty, representation, or covenant contained in this Agreement or any document
related to this Agreement.

     (c) Seller will at the Closing waive and release any claims and causes of action Seller may
have against the Indemnified Parties for all acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the
Closing.

     (d) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, the indemnification obligations in this
Section 5.7 are limited by federal banking law and any obligations that violate federal banking law
are void and unenforceable.

5.8 Transaction Expenses

     Each of the Parties shall pay their own expenses associated with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

5.9 Environmental Investigation

     (a) Buyer may, at its own option and expense, engage environmental consultants to conduct a
preliminary (“Phase I”) environmental assessment of any parcel of real estate owned and used in the
operation of Bank’s business and any other real estate owned. Bank shall provide reasonable
assistance, including site access, to such a consultant for purposes of conducting the Phase I
assessments. The fees and expenses of a consultant with respect to the Phase I assessments shall
be paid by Buyer. If there are any facts or conditions identified in a Phase I assessment or in
any other reports or other documents disclosed by Seller that Buyer reasonably believes could pose
a current or future risk of liability to Buyer or the Bank (an “Environmental Risk”), then Buyer
shall identify the Environmental Risk to Seller in writing. Buyer shall obtain from one or more
mutually acceptable consultants or contractors, as appropriate, an estimate of the cost of any
further environmental investigation, sampling, analysis, remediation, corrective measure or other
follow-up work that may be necessary to address the Environmental Risk in accordance with
applicable Environmental Laws (the “Remediation Estimate”). Buyer shall forward copies of any such
estimates to Seller upon receipt.

     (b) If an Environmental Risk is identified, then Seller shall either agree in writing to
reimburse Buyer for the actual cost of any further environmental investigation, sampling, analysis,
remediation, corrective measure or other follow-up work recommended by Buyer’s environmental
consultant (regardless of whether such expense is incurred before or after the Closing Date) up to
but not in excess of $100,000, or, if Seller shall fail to so agree, Buyer may terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice of termination to Seller within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt from Seller of Seller’s decision not to make the reimbursement contemplated hereby.

28

 

     (c) If the investigation, sampling, analysis, remediation or other corrective measures
would require more than $100,000 to complete, Buyer and Seller shall discuss a mutually acceptable
modification to this Stock Purchase Agreement.

     (d) If the parties are unable to agree upon a course of action for further investigation and
remediation of an environmental condition or issue raised by an environmental assessment and/or a
mutually acceptable modification to this Stock Purchase Agreement, and the condition or issue is
not one for which it can be determined to a reasonable degree of certainty that the risk and
expense to which Buyer would be subject as owner or operator of the property involved can be
quantified and limited to an amount less than $100,000, then Buyer may abandon this Stock Purchase
Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) (Termination).

5.10 Employees and Employee Benefit Plans

     (a) Except with respect to the Bank Employee Plans identified in part (vii) of Schedule
3.16(a), Seller shall cause the Bank’s participation in the Bank Employee Plans to be
terminated as of the Closing Date.

     (b) Exhibit 3 to the Agreement contains a complete and accurate list of the benefit plans
Buyers currently intends to offer to employees of the Bank following Closing.

     (c) Buyers agree that Blue Cross Blue Shield (the “Medical Plan”) will be adopted by the Bank
to become effective on or immediately following the Closing Date. Buyers agree that no employee of
the Bank will be subject to any exclusion or penalty for pre-existing conditions that were covered
under the medical plan of the Bank covering such employee immediately prior to the Closing or any
waiting period relating to coverage under the Medical Plan. Buyers further agree that, to the
extent that the initial period of coverage for employees of the Bank under any plan of Buyer that
is an “Employee Welfare Benefit Plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, is not a full twelve
(12) month period of coverage, employees of the Bank shall be given credit under the applicable
welfare plan for any deductibles and co-insurance payments made by such employees under the
corresponding Bank Employee Plan during the balance of such twelve (12) month period of coverage.
Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade any insurance plan to provide for such
credit. Seller shall remain responsible for all COBRA obligations for employees of the Bank (and
their dependents) who have a qualifying event (as defined under COBRA) before the Closing Date.
With respect to all plans of Buyer intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code, the prior
service of employees of the Bank with the Bank, Seller, or any Subsidiary of Seller shall be taken
into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting. With respect to employee benefits such as
vacation, sick pay, personal days, and the like, the prior service of employees with the Bank,
Seller, or any Subsidiary of Seller shall be applied for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and the
level of benefit to which the employee is entitled.

     (d) Buyers agree to establish or designate a defined contribution retirement plan, qualified
under Section 401 of the Code. Seller will take such actions as reasonably necessary to cause
distributions from the Seller’s Employee Deferred Compensation and Stock ownership Plan (the
“401(k) Plan”) to be made available to employees of the Bank, including distributions
in the form of a direct rollover to the 401(a) plan established by the Bank. Buyers agree to use
their best efforts to cause the Bank’s 401(a) plan to accept rollovers, including rollovers of

29

 

existing 401(k) Plan loans. Such plan shall recognize the prior service of employees of the Bank
for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the plan.

5.11 Integration of Data Processing

     (a) At the request of Buyers, during the period from the date of this Agreement to the
Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Bank and their respective directors, officers, and
employees to, and shall make all reasonable efforts to cause their respective data processing
service providers to, cooperate and assist Buyer in connection with preparation for an electronic
and systematic conversion of all applicable data regarding the Bank to Buyer’s system of electronic
data processing; provided, however, that no such conversion shall occur until the Closing. Buyers
shall be responsible for reasonable and agreed upon costs incurred by Seller, including both
Seller’s internal costs and fees to third parties associated with any such conversion. The Bank
will pay any termination fees under data processing agreements between the Bank and non-affiliated
data processing vendors. Seller will remain responsible for all fees under data processing
contracts between Seller and data processing vendors. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller
shall make reasonable arrangements during normal business hours to permit representatives of Buyer
to train the Bank employees in Buyer’s system of electronic data processing.

     (b) At the Closing, the parties agree to enter into a mutually acceptable Data Processing
Agreement between the Bank and Seller (or one of Seller’s subsidiaries) pursuant to which Seller
(or one of its subsidiaries) will provide data processing services to the Bank, the material terms
of which are: (i) a term of nine months or until the earlier completion of the data conversion,
whichever is shorter; and (ii) compensation by the Bank to Seller (or one of Seller’s subsidiaries)
consistent with the compensation historically paid by Seller and the Bank for periods prior to the
Closing Date. The Data Processing Agreement will supersede the existing Bank Servicing Agreement
between the Bank and The State Bank.

     (c) Until the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly advise Buyers of all anticipated renewals or
extensions of existing data processing service agreements, software licenses agreements, data
processing hardware lease agreements, telecommunications agreements or other material technology
related license or service agreements (“Technology Contracts”) to which the Bank is a party.
Seller and the Bank shall cooperate with Buyers in negotiating with each vendor the length of any
extension or renewal term of any Technology Contracts. The Bank shall not enter into any new
Technology Contract or renew or extend any existing Technology Contract except with Buyers’ consent
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such agreement is necessary for the
Bank to conduct business in the ordinary course through the Closing Date).

5.12 Non-Performing Loans and Non-Accrual Loans and Owned Real Estate

     (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Bank shall transfer to Seller or Seller’s designees
those loans described on Schedule 5.12 as updated to include all Nonperforming
Assets and nonaccrual loans or leases on the Bank’s books as of the date ten (10) Business Days
prior to the Closing Date (the “Loan Transfer”). Seller or its designee shall pay the Bank a cash

30

 

purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Value of each loan or lease included in the Loan Transfer
as of such date.

     (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Bank shall transfer to Seller or Seller’s designees
the owned real estate as of the date ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “ORE
Transfer”). Seller or its designee shall pay the Bank a cash purchase price equal to the book
value of such owned real estate on the Bank’s balance sheet as of such date.

     (c) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide Agent
with an updated Schedule 5.12 listing all loans, leases and ORE to be transferred together
with the dollar amount to be paid by Seller or its designee for such loan. Agent will notify
Seller of any disputes with respect thereto within three (3) Business Days after receiving the
updated Schedule 5.12.

     (d) At the Closing the Seller and the Bank shall provide documentation evidencing compliance
with this covenant.

5.13 Exclusive Commitment

     Except as provided below, neither the Seller nor the Bank shall take any action inconsistent
with the intent to consummate this transaction upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing:

     5.13.1 No Solicitation. Neither Seller, nor the Bank shall, directly or indirectly, (i)
invite, initiate, solicit, or encourage a proposal for an Acquisition Transaction; or (ii)
participate in any negotiations regarding a proposal for an Acquisition Transaction. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall refer to a proposal, offer or other expression of
interest concerning an Acquisition Transaction.

     5.13.2 Communication of Other Proposals. Seller or the Bank shall cause written notice to be
delivered to Buyer promptly upon receipt of an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall contain the
material terms of such Acquisition Proposal to which such notice relates. Within ten (10) business
days after Seller’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, Seller shall give notice of such
Acquisition Proposal to Buyer.

     5.13.3 Corporate Liability for Individual’s Breach. For the purposes of this Section, any
breach of this Section by an executive officer or director, of Seller or the Bank in his or her
individual capacity shall be deemed to be a breach by Seller.

5.14 Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation

     The Seller covenants and agrees that, commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause Seller’s Subsidiaries not
to, directly or indirectly, form, or obtain any direct or indirect ownership interest in, any legal
entity, including, but not limited to any bank, mortgage company, or other financial
institution, that has a headquarters, branch or other physical facility within 25 miles of any of
the Bank’s current main office or branch locations (the “Market Area”).

     The Seller covenants and agrees that, commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Seller shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to (1)
induce or attempt to induce any current or prospective customers or clientele of the Bank or any of
its affiliates to reduce the current or prospective business such customer or clientele has with
the Bank or any of its affiliates; or (2) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee of the Bank or
any of its affiliates to leave the employ of the Bank or any of its affiliates, hire any such
employee, or otherwise interfere in any way with the relationship between the Bank or any of its
affiliates and their respective employees.

     Nothing contained herein shall preclude Seller or its Subsidiaries from (a) placing
advertisements of general circulation or distribution which are not targeted to persons within the
Market Area or (b) from soliciting business from any customers of the Bank who are customers of
another Subsidiary of Seller as of the Closing Date or who, without violation of this Section 5.14,
become customers of Seller or another Subsidiary of Seller after the Closing Date. Further,
nothing contained herein shall restrict any bank holding company or similar entity (an “Acquiror”)
which acquires control of Seller by merger or otherwise to continue to operate any of Acquirors
facilities in existence on the date such Acquisition was publicly announced.

5.15 Service/Trademarks

     Buyers covenant that upon Closing, Buyers shall not permit the Bank to thereafter use any and
all of Seller’s or its other Subsidiaries’ trademarks/service marks, including, but not limited to,
its logo (i.e. letterhead, envelopes, etc.) and any other proprietary information or materials;
provided, however, nothing contained herein shall preclude the Bank from continuing to use the name
“West Michigan Community Bank” or any derivation thereof.

5.16 Order to Cease and Desist

     Seller will use its best efforts to, on or before the Closing Date, cause FDIC and OFIR to
release or agree to release the Order to Cease and Desist. Buyers agree that as part of the effort
to cause FDIC and OFIR to release or agree to release the Order to Cease and Desist, Buyers will
commit to FDIC and OFIR that Buyers will contribute additional capital to the Bank at or
immediately following the Closing sufficient to increase the Bank’s level of Tier 1 capital as a
percentage of total assets to at least 8.0% and total risk-based capital as a percentage of
risk-weighted assets to at least 10.0% (with Tier 1 capital, total assets, risk based capital and
risk-weighted assets calculated in accordance with Part 325 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations).
Buyers agree to use commercially reasonable best efforts to take such other actions as may be
necessary to cause FDIC and OFIR to release or agree to release the Order to Cease and Desist.

5.17 Tax Matters

     For 2010, Seller shall include the Bank and Community Insurance Services, Inc. in its
consolidated federal income tax returns for the period ending as of the Closing Date (the “Seller
Short Period”) and it is expected that it will be required to include the Bank and all of its
Subsidiaries in its combined Michigan Business Tax (“MBT”) return for the Seller Short Period. For
2010, Buyers shall be responsible for the Bank’s and its Subsidiaries’ federal income tax

32

 

returns and the Bank’s MBT return for the period beginning the day after the Closing Date and ending
December 31, 2010 (the “Buyer Short Period”). Seller shall pay any 2010 federal and, if
applicable, any MBT Seller Short Period taxes and Buyers and the Bank shall be responsible for all
Buyer Short Period taxes. Buyers shall be responsible for filing any tax returns whose tax period
ends after the Closing Date and which cover a time period that includes both pre- and post-Closing
Dates (the 2010 Form 1065 for West Michigan Mortgage LLC is an example of such a return. All Taxes
for the period up to and including the Closing Date shall be accrued by the Bank and included in
the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity calculation. Upon filing of the Seller Short Period federal and
MBT returns, Seller and Bank shall settle with each other in cash for any additional return
liability owed to or by Bank. Within the time period required hereby for any Purchase Price
adjustment, Buyers shall cause the Bank to pay to Seller an amount equal to the federal and MBT
taxes accrued by the Bank with respect to the Seller Short Period. Buyers and Seller agree to
furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practical, such
information (including reasonable access to books and records, tax returns and tax filings) and
assistance as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any tax return, the conduct of any tax
audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any tax
matter. Buyers and Seller shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any tax audit or other
tax proceeding and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as
are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section. Should Seller be responsible for taxes of
the Bank which are contemplated hereby to be Buyers’ and the Bank’s responsibility or should Buyers
and the Bank be responsible for taxes which are contemplated hereby to be the responsibility of
Seller, Seller and Buyers will settle with each other for any tax, penalty or interest owed one to
the other relative to such resolution.”

5.18 Termination of Intercompany Agreements.

     On the Closing Date, all intercompany agreements between the Bank and Seller (and any of its
affiliates) shall be terminated (with the exception of loan participations which will be addressed
after the date hereof by mutual agreement of Seller and Buyer). Within thirty (30) days following
the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall settle any amounts owing between the Bank and Seller or
its affiliates with respect to all such terminated agreements. Schedule 5.18 includes a
copy or, as applicable, a description of the intercompany agreements and loan participations in
place between Seller and the Bank as of the date hereof.

     (a) All liability, loss, damage, deficiency or expense resulting from or arising out of any

     Buyers shall indemnify Seller and the shareholders, directors, employees and agents of Seller
against and hold them harmless from:

     (a) All liability, loss, damage, deficiency or expense resulting from or arising out of any

breach or nonperformance of any covenant or obligation made or incurred by Buyers herein.

8.4 Indemnification Procedures

     Seller shall be liable to the Buyers under Section 8.2 and Buyers shall be liable to the
Seller under Section 8.3 (i) only if Buyers or Seller, as the case may be, delivers to the other
written notice, setting forth in reasonable detail the identity, nature and amount of and any claim
for indemnification (a “Claims Notice”), prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period
under Section 8.1 and (ii) only if the aggregate amount of all losses incurred by the Buyers or the
Seller, as the case may be, exceed $100,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”), in which case Seller
or Buyer, as applicable, shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyers or the Seller, as applicable,
only for the excess of the aggregate amount of all such losses over the Indemnification Threshold,
provided, however, that the Indemnification Threshold shall not apply to claims pursuant to

broad as is enforceable.

9.9 Agent for Buyers

     Each Buyer constitutes and appoints Agent as that Buyer’s true and lawful agent, proxy and
attorney-in-fact with full authority and power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead
of such person and (to the extent applicable) such person’s executors, heirs, administrators,
personal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns, in any and all capacities to execute
any and all instruments or other documents on behalf of such person and to do and perform every act
and thing required or permitted to be done by such person or Agent hereunder or otherwise with
respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the full and
exclusive authority as fully to all intents and purposes as each Buyer might or could do “in
person”, all in the discretion of Agent, including:

     (a) in general, doing all things and performing all acts, including executing and delivering
all agreements, certificates, receipts, consents, elections, instructions, and other instruments or
documents contemplated by, or deemed by Agent to be required or permitted in connection with, this
Agreement;

     (b) executing and delivering all amendments and waivers to this Agreement that Agent deems
necessary or appropriate, whether prior to, at or after the Closing, which amendments and waivers
will be binding on each Buyer;

     (c) agreeing with Seller with respect to any matter or thing required or deemed advisable by
Agent in connection with the provisions of this Agreement calling for the agreement of any Buyer;

41

 

     (d) making all applications with regulators necessary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and responding to all request for information from regulators;

     (e) delivering notices required to be delivered by any Buyer under this Agreement;

     (f) receiving notices required to be delivered to any Buyer under this Agreement;

     (g) acting with respect to indemnification claims;

     (h) retaining and employing legal counsel, accountants, consultants and other professional
advisors with reference to the performance of the duties assigned and paying such advisors; and

     (i) taking action on behalf of any Buyer from time to time as Agent may deem necessary or
desirable to defend, pursue, resolve and/or settle disputes or claims under this Agreement.

Each Buyer agrees that the agency, proxy and power of attorney described above are coupled with an
interest, and are therefore irrevocable without prior written notice to Buyer. Each Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery by Agent of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion,
certificate or other documents executed by Agent or any decisions made by Agent, it shall be bound
by such documents or decision as fully as if Buyer had executed and delivered such documents or
made such decisions.

The parties agree that any action that may be taken, right that may be exercised or notice that may
be given under this Agreement by Buyer may only be taken, exercised or given by Agent, and that
each Buyer shall be bound by all actions and omissions of Agent and Buyer shall not have the right
to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Each Buyer shall cooperate with Agent
and any accountants, attorneys, consultants and other professional advisors or other agents whom
Agent may retain to assist in carrying out Agent’s duties hereunder. Agent may communicate with
each Buyer or any other person concerning Agent’s responsibilities hereunder, but it is not
required to do so.

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Company and Executive entered into that certain Employment Agreement, dated May 22,
2008 (“Original Agreement”), as amended October 24, 2008 (collectively, the “Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, Company and Executive mutually desire to amend the provisions of the Agreement
relating to Executive’s personal use of the Company aircraft, and certain performance-based

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, as well as the mutual promises set forth
herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Use of Aircraft. The penultimate sentence of Section 4 of the Original Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following language:

During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to use the Company aircraft for
personal use consistent with the Company’s practice for its Chief Executive Officer
