This Agreement and Plan of Merger (this "Plan of Merger") is made as of January 3, 2020, by and between COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION, a Michigan corporation ("Company"), and CHOICEONE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Michigan corporation ("Purchaser").

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

1. The respective Boards of Directors of each of Company and Purchaser have determined to engage in a merger of Company with and into Purchaser (the "Merger") in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Merger, the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the "MBCA") and any other applicable Law; and

2. The Purchaser Board of Directors has unanimously (a) approved the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Merger and Purchaser's articles of incorporation, the MBCA any other applicable Law, (b) determined that the terms of this Plan of Merger are fair to and in the best interests of Purchaser and Purchaser's shareholders, and (c) adopted this Plan of Merger and authorized the transactions contemplated by it; and

3. The Company Board of Directors has unanimously (a) approved the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Merger and Company's articles of incorporation, the MBCA any other applicable Law, (b) determined that the terms of this Plan of Merger are fair to and in the best interests of Company and the Company Shareholders, and (c) adopted this Plan of Merger, authorized the transactions contemplated by it and resolved to recommend approval by the Company Shareholders of this Plan of Merger; and

4. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and this Plan of Merger is intended to be, and is adopted as, a "Plan of Reorganization" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for purposes of Sections 354, 356 and 361 of the Code (and any comparable provisions of Michigan law) for federal and applicable Michigan state income tax purposes; and

5. All of the members of the Company Board of Directors and certain other shareholders have executed and delivered to Purchaser a voting agreement in their capacity as Company Shareholders substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A.

In consideration of the representations, warranties, mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Plan of Merger, and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Purchaser agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan of Merger, at the Effective Time, Company will be merged with and into Purchaser and the separate corporate existence of Company will cease. Company and Purchaser are each sometimes referred to as a

"Constituent Corporation" prior to the Merger. At the Effective Time, the Constituent Corporations will become a single corporation, which corporation will be Purchaser (sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation"). The effect of the Merger upon each of the Constituent Corporations and the Surviving Corporation will be as provided in Chapter Seven of the MBCA with respect to the merger of domestic corporations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the MBCA, at the Effective Time: (a) all the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, licenses, and interests in and to every type of property (whether real, personal, or mixed) of Company and Purchaser, will vest in the Surviving Corporation, (b) all choses in action of Company and Purchaser will continue unaffected and uninterrupted by the Merger and will accrue to the Surviving Corporation, and (c) all assets and liabilities of Company and Purchaser will become the assets and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.

1.2 The Closing. Company and Purchaser will consummate the Merger (the "Closing") (a) at the offices of Warner Norcross + Judd LLP, 1500 Warner Building, 150 Ottawa Ave NW, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date to be agreed upon by Company and Purchaser, which will be no later than five Business Days immediately following the day on which the last of the conditions to Closing contained in Article VI (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) is satisfied or waived in accordance with this Plan of Merger or (b) at such other place and time or on such other date as Company and Purchaser may mutually determine (the date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the "Closing Date").

1.3 Effective Time of Merger. On the Closing Date, Company and Purchaser will each promptly execute and file a certificate of merger as required by the MBCA to effect the Merger (the "Certificate of Merger"). No party will take any action to revoke the Certificate of Merger after its filing without the written consent of the other party. The "Effective Time" of the Merger will be as of the time and date when the Merger becomes effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Corporations, Securities & Commercial Licensing Bureau (Corporations Division) of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs or at such later time or date as the parties may mutually determine and specify in the Certificate of Merger. Company and Purchaser agree that, if requested by Purchaser, the Effective Time will occur on either the last day of the month in which, or the first day of the month after which, the Closing occurs.

1.4 Additional Actions. At any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation may determine that deeds, assignments, or assurances or any other acts are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect, or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its rights, title, or interest in, to, or under any of the rights, properties, or assets of Company and Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger, or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Plan of Merger. Company and Purchaser hereby grant to the Surviving Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments, and assurances and to do all acts necessary, proper, or convenient to accomplish this purpose. This irrevocable power of attorney will only be operative following the Effective Time and at such time the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be fully authorized in the name of Company and Purchaser to take any and all such actions and execute all such instruments and documents contemplated by this Plan of Merger.

| 2 |

1.5 Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will have the following attributes until they are subsequently changed in the manner provided by Law:

1.5.1 Name. The name of the Surviving Corporation will be "ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc.."

1.5.2 Articles of Incorporation. The articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will be the articles of incorporation of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.5.3 Bylaws. The bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will be the bylaws of Purchaser as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.5.4 Officers. The officers of the Surviving Corporation will be the officers of Purchaser immediately before the Effective Time.

1.5.5 Directors. The directors of the Surviving Corporation will be the directors of Purchaser immediately before the Effective Time.

1.6 Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. At Purchaser's election, the Merger may alternatively be structured so that (a) Company is merged with and into a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Purchaser or (b) any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Purchaser is merged with and into Company; provided, however, that no such change will (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration or the treatment of the holders of Company Common Stock, (ii) prevent the parties from obtaining the opinions of counsel referred to in Section 6.2.5 and Section 6.3.7 or otherwise cause the transaction to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger. In the event of such an election, the parties agree to execute an appropriate amendment to this Plan of Merger (to the extent such amendment only changes the method of effecting the business combination and does not substantively affect this Plan of Merger or the rights and obligations of the parties or their respective shareholders) in order to reflect such election.

ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Conversion of Shares. As of the Effective Time:

2.1.1 Conversion of Company Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in this Article II, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will, without any action on the part of any shareholder, be converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. For purposes of this Plan of Merger, "Merger Consideration" means the right to receive, for each share of Company Common Stock, (a) an amount of cash equal to $5.00 (the "Cash Consideration Per Share"); or (b) 0.17162 shares of Purchaser Common Stock (the "Stock Consideration Per Share"), in each case subject to the adjustments set forth in this Article II. No interest will accrue or be payable with respect to the Merger Consideration.

| 3 |

2.1.2 No Conversion of Purchaser's Common Stock. Each share of Purchaser Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will, without any action on the part of Purchaser or any Purchaser shareholder, continue as one share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Outstanding certificates representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock will be deemed to represent an identical number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.1.3 Stock Held by Purchaser. Each share of Company Common Stock, if any, held by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries for its own account, and not in a fiduciary or representative capacity for a person other than Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries ("Excluded Shares") immediately before the Effective Time will automatically be canceled and no consideration will be payable with respect to any such share. Excluded Shares will not include Trust Account Shares or DPC Shares.

2.1.4 Company Common Stock No Longer Issued and Outstanding. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will, as of the Effective Time, no longer be issued and outstanding and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share previously representing such shares of Company Common Stock will thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, together with any dividends and other distributions payable as provided in Section 2.4, but subject to payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.7, and subject further to the fact that, until such time as Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Company Common Stock are exchanged for shares of Purchaser Common Stock in book-entry form as provided in this Article II, the shares of Purchaser Common Stock into which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Company Common Stock may be converted will have no voting rights with respect to any matters submitted to the shareholders of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

2.1.5 Election of Merger Consideration. Subject to the election restrictions set forth below, holders of Company Common Stock may elect to receive the Stock Consideration Per Share or the Cash Consideration Per Share in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock. The total number of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted into the Stock Consideration Per Share will equal not less than 50% and not more than 75% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of the Effective Time. All shares of Company Common Stock not exchanged for the Stock Consideration Per Share will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration Per Share.

2.1.6 Election Form. An election form, in such form as Purchaser and Company mutually agree ("Election Form"), will be included in and sent with the Proxy Statement, which will be mailed to each holder of record of Company Common Stock entitled to vote at the Company Shareholder Meeting, permitting such holder, subject to the allocation and election procedure set forth herein:

2.1.6.1 to specify the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder with respect to which the holder desires to receive the Cash Consideration Per Share (a "Cash Election") in accordance with the provisions of this Plan of Merger;

| 4 |

2.1.6.2 to specify the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder with respect to which such holder desires to receive the Stock Consideration Per Share (a "Stock Election") in accordance with the provisions of this Plan of Merger; or

2.1.6.3 to indicate that such record holder has no preference as to the receipt of Stock Consideration Per Share or Cash Consideration Per Share for such shares (a "Non-Election").

Any shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which the holder thereof has not, as of the Election Deadline, made an election by submission to Company of an effective, properly completed Election Form will be deemed Non-Election shares.

Holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that each such Election Form covers all of the shares of Company Common Stock held by each representative for a particular beneficial owner.

2.1.7 Election Deadline. The term "Election Deadline" means the same deadline as for the return of the proxy card relating to the shareholder vote pursuant to the proposed Merger at the Company Shareholder Meeting. An election will have been properly made only if Company has actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. Subject to the terms of this Plan of Merger and of the Election Form, Purchaser and the Exchange Agent will have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any decisions of Purchaser or the Exchange Agent regarding such matters will be binding and conclusive. None of Company, Purchaser nor the Exchange Agent will be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form. Each holder of Company Common Stock will have the right to change the holder's election at any time before the Election Deadline by submitting a new Election Form to Company.

2.1.8 Exchange Schedule. On the Election Deadline, Company will deliver to Purchaser a schedule setting forth whether each share of Company Common Stock, listed by Certificate or Book-Entry Share number, is Cash Election, Stock Election, or Non-Election. Within five Business Days after receipt of such schedule, Purchaser and Exchange Agent will prepare a schedule (the "Exchange Schedule") calculating the amount of Cash Consideration Per Share and Stock Consideration Per Share that each Company Shareholder will be entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Such Exchange Schedule will be delivered to Company for review. Company will have three Business Days following receipt thereof to provide Purchaser and Exchange Agent with any objections, comments or questions concerning the Exchange Schedule.

2.1.9 Stock Election and Cash Election Numbers. The "Stock Election Number" means the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which Stock Elections have been made. The "Cash Election Number" means the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which Cash Elections have been made.

| 5 |

2.1.10 Stock Election In Excess of 75%. If the Stock Election Number exceeds 75% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, then, in the order set forth below:

2.1.10.1 All Non-Election shares of each holder of Company Common Stock or, if less than all, such number of Non-Election shares as necessary to reduce the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock receiving the Stock Consideration Per Share to 75% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (allocated on a pro-rata basis) will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration Per Share; and

2.1.10.2 To the extent that the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that are to be allocated the Stock Consideration Per Share after the conversion of Non-Election shares described in Section 2.1.10.1 still exceeds 75% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, then the Stock Election shares of each holder of Company Common Stock will be adjusted, on a pro-rata basis, such that the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock electing the Stock Consideration Per Share equals 75% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Such adjustment (the "Adjusted Stock Election") will be determined as follows: the number of Adjusted Stock Election shares that each holder of Company Common Stock who properly elected the Stock Consideration Per Share will be deemed to hold will equal the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number of Stock Election shares held by such holder by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to 75% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number. The Adjusted Stock Election shares will then be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration Per Share. The remaining number of such holder's Stock Election shares will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration Per Share.

2.1.11 Stock Elections Below 50%. If the Stock Election Number is less than 50% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, then, in the order set forth below:

2.1.11.1 All Non-Election shares of each holder of Company Common Stock or, if less than all, such number of Non-Election shares as necessary to reduce the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock receiving the Cash Consideration Per Share to 50% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (allocated on a pro-rata basis) will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration Per Share; and

2.1.11.2 To the extent that the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that are to be allocated the Stock Consideration Per Share after the conversion of Non-Election shares described in Section 2.1.11.1 still is less than 50% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, then the Cash Election shares of each holder of Company Common Stock will be adjusted, on a pro-rata basis, such that the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock converting to the Stock Consideration Per Share equals 50% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Such adjustment (the "Adjusted Cash Election") will be determined as follows: the number of Adjusted Cash Election shares that each holder of Company Common Stock who properly elected the Cash Consideration Per Share will be deemed to hold will equal the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number of Cash Election shares held by such holder by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to 50% of the total

| 6 |

outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number. The Adjusted Cash Election shares will then be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration Per Share. The remaining number of such holder's Cash Election shares will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration Per Share.

2.1.12 Stock Elections Between 50% and 75%. If the Stock Election Number is not less than 50% and not more than 75% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, then all holders of Company Common Stock who have submitted a proper and timely Election Form will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration Per Share or the Cash Consideration Per Share or both, as they have properly elected. In such event, all Non-Election shares of each holder of Company Common Stock will be converted as follows: (a) the number of Non-Election shares converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration Per Share will be equal to the total number of Non-Election shares multiplied by the ratio obtained by dividing the Stock Election Number by the aggregate of the Stock Election Number and the Cash Election Number, and (b) the remaining Non-Election shares will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration Per Share.

2.2 Adjustments to Merger Consideration.

2.2.1 Adjustments Generally. For the purposes of this Section 2.2, "Aggregate Merger Consideration" means (i) $5.00, multiplied by (ii) the Outstanding Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the Aggregate Merger Consideration will be reduced as follows:

(a) Shareholders' Equity. If, as of the Final Statement Date, the Consolidated Shareholders' Equity is less than $14,800,000, the Aggregate Merger Consideration will be reduced by an amount equal to (i) $14,800,000 minus (ii) the Consolidated Shareholders' Equity as of the Final Statement Date.

(b) Termination Fee. The Aggregate Merger Consideration will be reduced by the amount of the Card Agreement Termination Fee, if any.

2.2.2 In the event that the Aggregate Merger Consideration is reduced pursuant to Section 2.2.1, (a) the Cash Consideration Per Share shall be reduced to an amount equal to (i) the reduced Aggregate Merger Consideration, divided by (ii) the Outstanding Company Shares (the "Adjusted Cash Consideration Per Share") and (b) the Stock Consideration Per Share shall be reduced to an amount equal to (i) the Adjusted Cash Consideration Per Share, divided by (ii) $29.13 (the "Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share"). "Outstanding Company Shares" means 4,131,664. The Adjusted Cash Consideration Per Share and the Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share, as further adjusted as provided elsewhere in this Article II, if applicable, will become the Cash Consideration Per Share and Stock Consideration Per Share for all purposes under this Plan of Merger.

2.3 Surrender of Shares.

2.3.1 Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to or at the Effective Time, Purchaser will deposit with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company or such other bank or trust company designated by Purchaser and reasonably satisfactory to Company (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the

| 7 |

Effective Time, whether represented by Certificates or held as Book-Entry Shares, shares of Purchaser Common Stock and cash sufficient to make payments of the Stock Consideration Per Share, Cash Consideration Per Share and cash in lieu of fractional shares to holders of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. All such shares of Purchaser Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 is referred to as the "Exchange Fund."

2.3.2 Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Purchaser will cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (other than the Excluded Shares), as of the Effective Time, a form of letter of transmittal (which will be in customary form and will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates or Book-Entry Shares will pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7 and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4.

Upon surrender of a Certificate or of Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, each holder of a Certificate or of Book-Entry Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (a) book-entry shares representing the number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 based on the Stock Consideration Per Share, (b) cash to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 based on the Cash Consideration Per Share, (c) cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7, and (d) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4, and such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered will be canceled.

In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered are registered if certificates or other documentation are presented and are properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment will pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish, to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7 and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4.

2.4 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Purchaser Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock that the holder of such unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share has the right to receive upon the surrender of such unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock

| 8 |

will be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.7, until the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share will have surrendered such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat or other applicable Law, following the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there will be paid to the record holder of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, with respect to such whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock (a) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date and a payment date on or after the Effective Time and on or prior to the date of such surrender and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Purchaser Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.7 and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock.

2.5 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Purchaser, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not then complied with this Article II will thereafter look only to Purchaser for, and Purchaser will remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7, and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4, in accordance with this Article II.

2.6 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7, and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4 upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II will be deemed to have been in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the close of business on the Closing Date, the share transfer books of Company will be closed, and there will be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of Company of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares will cease to have any rights with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Plan of Merger or by applicable Law.

2.7 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, no dividends or other distributions of Purchaser will be paid with respect to such fractional share interests, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner to vote or to have any rights of a holder of shares of Purchaser Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan of Merger, each holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock (determined after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) will receive, in lieu of such fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (a) such fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a share) multiplied by (b) the closing price for a share of Purchaser Common Stock on the OTC Pink marketplace (or such other securities market or stock exchange on which Purchaser Common Stock then principally trades) as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the five (5) most recent trading days, ending on and including the Business

| 9 |

Day immediately before the date on which the Effective Time occurs, on which shares of Purchaser Common Stock were actually traded.

2.8 No Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, none of Company, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation nor the Exchange Agent will be liable to any Company Shareholder or any other Person in respect of any cash properly delivered to a Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Company Shareholders as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Purchaser free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser or the Exchange Agent will, upon the receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the holder of such Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7 and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4 payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock previously evidenced by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate. Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7 and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.4, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Purchaser or the Exchange Agent with respect to such Certificate.

2.10 Withholding Rights. Purchaser will be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Plan of Merger such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity by Purchaser, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Merger as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser.

2.11 Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent will invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Purchaser from time to time provided that no gain or loss thereon will affect the amounts payable or the timing of the amounts payable to Company Shareholders pursuant to this Article II. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any purpose except as set forth herein. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be for Purchaser's account.

2.12 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article II, if, between the date of this Plan of Merger and the Effective Time, there is declared or effected a reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split),

| 10 |

split-up, stock dividend or stock distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Purchaser Common Stock or Company Common Stock), combination, exchange, or readjustment of shares with respect to, or rights issued in respect of, Purchaser Common Stock or Company Common Stock, the Merger Consideration will be proportionately adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Plan of Merger prior to such event. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.12, no adjustment will be made in the event of the issuance of additional shares of Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or direct investment plan of Purchaser, pursuant to the exercise of stock options awarded under any director, employee or Affiliate stock option plans of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, or upon the grant or sale of shares or rights to receive shares to or for the account of any director, employee, or Affiliate of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any stock option or other compensation or benefit plans of Purchaser, or in connection with the issuance of shares as merger consideration in a transaction where Purchaser is the surviving corporation, or in connection with any offering or issuance of shares pursuant to which Purchaser receives cash or other consideration in exchange for the shares issued. Nothing in this Section 2.12 will authorize any transaction that is prohibited by any other provision of this Plan of Merger.

2.13 Upset Provision. The "Upset Condition" will have occurred if both of the following conditions exist as of the last day of the Pricing Period: (a) the Final Purchaser Price is less than $23.30; and (b) the number determined by dividing the Final Purchaser Price by $29.13 is less than the number obtained by subtracting (i) 20% from (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Index Price by 686.39. The "Final Purchaser Price" means the 20-day average closing price of Purchaser Common Stock ending on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of Closing in transactions reported on the OTC Pink marketplace (or such other securities market or stock exchange on which Purchaser Common Stock then principally trades) (the "Pricing Period"), excluding the two highest and two lowest prices during the Pricing Period. The "Final Index Price" means the closing price of the SNL Micro Cap Bank index on the last day of the Pricing Period.

2.13.1 If the Upset Condition exists as of the last day of the Pricing Period, Company will have the right, exercisable at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Michigan time on the second Business Day after the last day of the Pricing Period (the "Exercise Period") to (a) proceed with the Merger on the basis of the Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 2.1, subject to applicable adjustments, by delivering to Purchaser within the Exercise Period written notice of its decision to do so or by failing to deliver any notice to Purchaser during the Exercise Period; or (b) request, by delivering to Purchaser within the Exercise Period written notice to such effect (an "Increase Notice"), that Purchaser adjust the Stock Consideration Per Share by increasing the fixed exchange ratio to provide a per share value of at least $4.00 per share of share of Company Common Stock (the "Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share").

2.13.2 If the Upset Condition occurs and Purchaser receives an Increase Notice, Purchaser will either accept or decline the Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share by delivering written notice of its decision to Company at or before 5:00 p.m., Michigan time on the second Business Day after receipt of the Increase Notice (the "Acceptance Period"). If Purchaser accepts the Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share within the Acceptance Period, this Plan of Merger will remain in effect in accordance with its terms except the Stock

| 11 |

Consideration Per Share will be equal to the Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share. If Purchaser declines the Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share or fails to deliver written notice of its decision to accept or decline the Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share within the Acceptance Period, the Merger will be abandoned and this Plan of Merger will thereupon terminate without further action by Company or Purchaser effective as of 5:00 p.m., Michigan time on the Business Day following the expiration of the Acceptance Period; provided, that if Purchaser so declines the Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share or fails to deliver written notice of its decision to accept or decline the Upset-Adjusted Stock Consideration Per Share within the Acceptance Period, Company may, by written notice delivered to Purchaser at or before 5:00 p.m., Michigan time on the Business Day following the expiration of the Acceptance Period, elect to proceed with the Merger on the basis of the Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 2.1, subject to applicable adjustments, and, upon such election, no abandonment of the Merger or termination of the Plan of Merger will be deemed to have occurred, this Plan of Merger will remain in effect in accordance with its terms, and the Closing will thereafter occur, in accordance with the terms of this Plan of Merger.

2.14 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan of Merger, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a Company Shareholder who has not voted in favor of approval of this Plan of Merger or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such share pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, the provisions of the MBCA with respect thereto, will not be converted into the right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration and will be converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving Corporation with respect thereto as provided by the MBCA, unless and until the holder of any such share will have failed to perfect or will have effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the MBCA, in which case such share will thereupon be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Plan of Merger. Any shares of Company Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been properly exercised, and not subsequently withdrawn, lost or not perfected, are referred to herein as "Dissenting Shares". Company will give Purchaser prompt notice and a copy of any Company Shareholder's demand for dissenters' rights and of any request to withdraw a demand for dissenters' rights. Company and Purchaser will jointly direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands and requests. Except with the prior written consent of Purchaser or except as required by applicable Law, Company will not make any payment with respect to any such demands or requests and will not settle (or offer to settle) any such demands, or requests or approve any withdrawal of the same.

(a) Company has given Purchaser at least five Business Days prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice will specify the material terms and conditions of any such Company Superior Proposal, including the identity of the party making such Company Superior Proposal) and has contemporaneously provided a copy to Purchaser of all written materials (including all transaction agreements and related documents) with or from the Person or group of Persons making such Company Superior Proposal, (b) Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Purchaser during such five Business Day period to the extent Purchaser wishes to negotiate, to enable Purchaser to revise the terms of this Plan of Merger such that it would cause such Company Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Company Superior Proposal and (c) following the end of such five Business Day period, the Company Board of Directors will have considered in good faith any changes to this Plan of Merger proposed in writing by Purchaser, and will have determined that the Company Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal if such revisions were to be given effect. In the event of any material revisions to a Company Takeover Proposal during any such five Business Day period that could have an impact, influence or other effect on the Company Board of Directors' decision or discussion with respect to whether such proposal is a Company Superior Proposal, Company will deliver a new written notice to Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) and again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3.5 with respect to such new written notice; provided, however, that references herein to the five Business Day period will be deemed to be references to a three Business Day period with respect thereto.

5.3.6 Provided that Company and the Company Board of Directors comply with their applicable obligations under Section 5.3.5, nothing in this Section 5.3 will prohibit the Company Board of Directors from (a) taking and disclosing to the Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (as if such provisions are applicable to Company), (b) making any "stop-look-and-listen" communications to Company Shareholders consistent with Section 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the Company Shareholders) (as if such provisions are applicable to Company), or (c) making any disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board of Directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the taking of any action pursuant to either of the preceding clauses (a) or (b) will in no way limit or modify the effect of this Plan of Merger with respect to any such action taken.

5.3.7 As used in this Plan of Merger, "Company Takeover Proposal" means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Purchaser and its Subsidiaries) or "group", within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, any (a) acquisition of assets of Company and its Subsidiaries equal to more than 10% of Company's consolidated assets or to which more than 10% of Company's net income on a consolidated basis are attributable, (b) acquisition of more than 10% of the outstanding Company Common Stock or the capital stock of any Subsidiary of Company, (c) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning more than 10% of the outstanding Company Common Stock, (d) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (e) any combination of the foregoing

| 43 |

types of transactions if the sum of the percentage of consolidated assets, consolidated net income and Company Common Stock involved is more than 10%; in each case, other than the Merger.

5.3.8 As used in this Plan of Merger, "Company Superior Proposal" means any bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal that the Company Board of Directors has determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and that is reasonably likely to result in the consummation of a transaction more favorable to the Company Shareholders from a financial point of view than the Merger, taking into account (a) all legal, regulatory and financial aspects of the proposal (including availability of financing and certainty of closing) and the Person or group of Persons making the proposal; and (b) any changes to the terms of this Plan of Merger proposed by Purchaser in response to such proposal or otherwise. For purposes of the definition of "Company Superior Proposal", the references to "10%" in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal will be deemed to be references to "50%."

5.4 Preparation of Proxy Statement and Registration Statement; Shareholder Meeting.

5.4.1 Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement"), in which a proxy statement to be sent to the Company Shareholders relating to the Company Shareholder Meeting ("Proxy Statement") will be included, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Plan of Merger. Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, Purchaser will consult with Company with respect to such filing and will afford Company and its Representatives reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Each of Purchaser and Company will provide all information concerning itself and its Affiliates to the other, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement. The Registration Statement will include all information reasonably requested by Company to be included. If at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting any event with respect to Purchaser or Company or any of their respective officers and directors or Subsidiaries should occur which is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, Purchaser or Company, as applicable, will promptly inform the other party so that such event may be so described, and such amendment or supplement will be promptly filed with the SEC and, as required by Law, disseminated to the Company Shareholders.

5.4.2 Purchaser will take all action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now qualified) required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or "blue sky" Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the Merger and the issuance of Purchaser Common Stock as Merger Consideration.

| 44 |

5.4.3 Company will, as soon as is reasonably practicable following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective or the effective date can be predicted with reasonable certainty, duly call, give proper notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company Shareholders for the purpose of seeking the Company Shareholder Approval ("Company Shareholder Meeting"). Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company Shareholders and to hold the Company Shareholder Meeting as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, (b) solicit from the Company Shareholders proxies to vote on the proposal to approve this Plan of Merger and to secure a quorum at the Company Shareholder Meeting, and (c) except if the Company Board of Directors will have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.3, solicit the Company Shareholder Approval. Company will, through the Company Board of Directors, recommend to the Company Shareholders that they vote for the Company Shareholder Approval and will include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement, except to the extent that the Company Board of Directors will have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.3.

Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholder Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company Shareholders in advance of a vote on the Company Shareholder Approval. Further, if as of the time for which the Company Shareholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Company Shareholders represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such Company Shareholder Meeting or there are insufficient votes to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, (i) at the request of Purchaser, Company will adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholder Meeting to a date no more than 10 Business Days later than the date of the initial Company Shareholder Meeting; provided, that Purchaser may not request that Company make such an adjournment or postponement more than once and (ii) Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholder Meeting.

5.5 Regulatory Matters and Approvals.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan of Merger, the parties will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents of all third parties and governmental bodies necessary or desirable for the consummation of the Merger.

5.5.2 As soon as practicable after the date of this Plan of Merger, Purchaser will prepare and file with the Federal Reserve Board and each other Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Merger all applications and documents required to obtain, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Company, each necessary approval of or consent to consummate the Merger. Purchaser will provide Company with reasonable opportunities to review and comment upon such documents before filing and to make such amendments and file such supplements thereto as Company may reasonably request. Purchaser will provide Company with copies of all

material correspondence received from these agencies and all material responsive correspondence sent to these agencies.

5.5.3 From the date of this Plan of Merger until the Effective Time, each of Purchaser and Company will promptly notify the other party in writing of any pending or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser or Company (as the case may be), threatened Action or Order by any Governmental Entity or any other Person (a) challenging or seeking damages in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger, (b) seeking to restrain or prohibit the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger, or (c) otherwise relating to this Plan of Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger. If any Action or Order is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger as violative of any Law, each of Purchaser and Company will, and will cause their respective Representatives to, cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist, except insofar as Purchaser and Company may otherwise agree, any such Action or Order, including any Action or Order that seeks a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction that would prohibit, prevent or restrict consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger.

5.5.4 Nothing contained in this Plan of Merger will give Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Purchaser or give Purchaser, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Company prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, subject to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, Purchaser and Company each will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Plan of Merger, complete control and supervision over their respective business operations.

5.7 Press Releases and Public Announcement. Each of Company and Purchaser will not, and will cause its respective Representatives to not, issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to this Plan of Merger, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger without the prior written approval of, in the case of Company or its Representatives, Purchaser, and in the case of Purchaser or its Representatives, Company. However, each of Company and Purchaser may issue any such press release or make such public announcement, including with respect to actions contemplated by Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, it believes in good faith is required to be made by applicable Law or any applicable rule or regulation promulgated by any applicable securities exchange after consultation with

| 46 |

outside legal counsel, in which case the disclosing party will advise and consult with the other party regarding any such press release or other announcement prior to making any such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.7 will be deemed to expand, modify or limit Company's rights and obligations set forth in Section 5.3. Company and Purchaser agree to issue a joint press release initially announcing this Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger, including the Merger.

5.8 Access to Information.

No such access will affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties (or the remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Plan of Merger.

5.8.2 Company will give prompt written notice to Purchaser of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect. Purchaser will give prompt written notice to Company of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. Each of Company and Purchaser will give prompt written notice to the other party of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity or other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger and (b) any Actions commenced or, to the Knowledge of such party, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to this Plan of Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger.

5.8.3 While this Plan of Merger is in effect, if either Company or Purchaser becomes aware of any facts or the occurrence or impending occurrence of any event that (a) would cause one or more of the representations and warranties it has given in Article III or IV, respectively, subject to the exceptions contained in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, respectively, to become untrue or incomplete in any material respect; or (b) would have caused one or more of such representations and warranties to be untrue or

| 47 |

incomplete in any material respect had such facts been known or had such event occurred prior to the date of this Plan of Merger, then such party will promptly give detailed written notice of such discovery or change, including a detailed description of the underlying facts or events, together with all pertinent documents, to the other party.

5.8.4 Each of Company, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, will, and will cause their respective Representatives to, hold and treat in confidence all documents and information concerning the other party and its Subsidiaries furnished to the applicable party or their respective Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger in accordance with the letter agreement, dated June 13, 2019, between Company and Purchaser ("Confidentiality Agreement"), which will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each of Company, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, will not, and will cause its respective directors, officers, and employees to not, discuss or disclose any information concerning the Merger, or the negotiations or board discussions, deliberations or decisions in any way related to the Merger, other than information to the extent sent forth in the Proxy Statement, with any Person other than the Representatives of either party and any Governmental Entity.

All rights to exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period will continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. In the event of any such Action, the Surviving Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of the Action.

5.9.2 Purchaser will purchase, prior to the Effective Time, at a cost not exceeding 300% of the last annual premium, a six-year prepaid "tail" policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by Company and the Company Subsidiaries for the Indemnified Parties with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger. The Surviving

| 48 |

Corporation will maintain such policy in full force and effect for its full term and honor all obligations thereunder.

If, after the parties have cooperated in good faith to mitigate the impact of Section 280G of the Code, any payment to an executive officer of Company or Purchaser in connection with the Merger would constitute a parachute payment, the parties agree to reduce such parachute payment such that the present value of the total amounts and benefits received by the executive officer is equal to $1.00 less than three (3) times the executive officer's "base amount" as defined in Section 280G of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, in no circumstance

| 53 |

will Company or Purchaser pay any executive officer a "gross up" or similar payment to mitigate the impact of Section 280G of the Code.

5.23.2 The audited consolidated financial statements of Purchaser as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Company as of and for each quarter ending after the date of this Plan of Merger until the Effective Time, including all schedules and notes relating to such statements, will fairly present the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows of Purchaser as of the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, subject to normal, recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect) and the absence of notes (that, if presented, would not differ materially from those included in Purchaser's Financial Statements).

5.24 Allowance for Loan Losses. With respect to each loan and amount of specific reserve allocated to each such loan as identified on Section 5.24 of the Company Disclosure Letter, if the Company charges off an amount in excess of the specific reserve allocated to such loan, the Company shall increase the Company's allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses in an amount equal to the amount by which the charge off exceeds the specific reserve allocated to such loan. The Company shall account for any such provision for loan losses as of the last day of the month in which the charge off occurs and, in any event, not later than as of the Final Statement Date.

5.25 Trust Preferred Securities. Prior to the Effective Time, Company and Purchaser shall take all actions necessary for Purchaser to enter into a supplemental indenture with the trustee of the indenture for Company's outstanding floating-rate junior subordinated debt

| 54 |

securities due December 30, 2034 (the "Debt Securities") to evidence the succession of Purchaser as of the Effective Time. The form of the supplemental indenture shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and, pursuant to such supplemental indenture, Purchaser will agree to assume the covenants, agreements and obligations of Company under the indenture, including the obligation to make all payments when due in respect of the Debt Securities.

7.2.2 Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Plan of Merger, and that without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Plan of Merger. Accordingly, if Company fails to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 7.2 and, in order to obtain such payment, Purchaser commences a suit that results in a judgment against Company for the Company Termination Fee, then Company will pay Purchaser its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Company Termination Fee, from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made.

| 60 |

a willful or intentional breach of any provision of this Plan of Merger or fraud, and the aggrieved party will be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

7.2.4 The Company Termination Fee will be paid in the aggregate to Purchaser by or at the direction of Purchaser in immediately available funds in the case of Section 7.2.1.1, 7.2.1.2 or 7.2.1.3, upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to the obligation to make such payment.
