EXHIBIT 10.1

Background

A. The Company intends to conduct a capital raise consisting of two transactions to raise aggregate gross proceeds of approximately Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000). In the first transaction, the Company intends to issue shares of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock (defined below) in a private placement to accredited investors (the "Private Placement"), at a subscription price of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per share (the "Subscription Price"). In the second transaction, which is intended to take place as soon as practicable after completion of the Private Placement, the Company intends to conduct a registered offering (the "Registered Offering") of shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") to its shareholders and other potential investors at a price of Seventy Cents ($0.70) per share.

B. The Convertible Preferred Stock is automatically convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at an initial conversion price of Seventy Cents ($0.70) per share of Common Stock upon the Company's receipt of the Shareholder Approval (as defined below).

C. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lead Investor is agreeing (i) to purchase a number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in the Private Placement with an aggregate purchase price of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000), and (ii) at the request of the Company, following completion of the Registered Offering, to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), with the total number of shares of Common Stock designated by the Company. As a result, the Lead Investor's total investment commitment pursuant to this Agreement is Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000).

D. In connection with the Lead Investor's agreement to purchase the Securities and satisfy his other obligations as set forth in this Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Lead Investor a cash payment (the "Commitment Payment") equal to six percent (6%) of the aggregate purchase price of the Securities actually acquired by the Lead Investor, payable at the closing and issuance of such Securities to the Lead Investor, but subject to the receipt of the prior approval of the Federal Reserve.

E. Following the closing of the Private Placement, the Company intends to promptly call a meeting of shareholders (the "Shareholder Meeting") for the purpose of approving the Charter Amendment (as defined below) (the "Shareholder Approval").

The Lead Investor has had sufficient opportunity to request from the Company any information regarding the Company or an investment in the Securities as deemed necessary or desirable by the Lead Investor, all of such information has been provided, and the Lead Investor has had sufficient opportunity to review all of such information.

(c) Securities Not Registered. The Lead Investor understands that the Securities to be purchased by the Lead Investor pursuant to this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, but are being offered and sold to the Lead Investor in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws, and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments, and understandings of the Lead Investor set forth in this Agreement in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions.

(d) Investment Experience.

The Lead Investor acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to review, and upon review, fully understands all of such risks.

(i) Due Diligence.

(j) Representations Complete. The Lead Investor's representations in this Agreement are complete and accurate, and the Company may rely upon them. The Lead Investor will notify the Company immediately if any material change occurs in any of this information before the closing of the sale of any Securities pursuant to Section 2(b) above.

(k) Transfer Restrictions and Resale. None of the Securities have been registered with the Commission. The Securities may be sold or transferred only in compliance with the applicable securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act. The Lead Investor understands and agrees that the Securities will be "restricted securities" for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(l) Legend. The Lead Investor understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions relating to the Securities being purchased by the Lead Investor pursuant to this Agreement and relating to all shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted will be placed in the Company's stock transfer ledger, and that any and all certificates evidencing such securities will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE ISSUER."

(m) Binding Obligation. Assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Lead Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (a) as its obligations may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws, or by equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally, and (b) that the remedies of specific performance, injunction, and other forms of equitable relief are subject to certain tests of equity jurisdiction, equitable defenses, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for any such remedy may be brought.

(n) No General Solicitation. The Securities were not offered to the Lead Investor by way of general solicitation or general advertising and at no time was the Lead Investor presented with or solicited by means of any leaflet, public promotional meeting, circular, newspaper or magazine article, or radio or televisions advertisement.

(o) Future Issuances. The Company may in the future issue additional preferred stock, senior debt, subordinated debt, and/or Common Stock and/or options, warrants, or other rights to acquire preferred stock, senior debt, subordinated debt, and/or Common Stock.

(p) Governmental Consents. Assuming the correctness of the representations and warranties of the Company, no Governmental Consents are necessary to be obtained by the Lead Investor for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than a statement by the Federal Reserve that it has no objection to the investment by the Lead Investor as such investment is described by the Lead Investor in the notice (the "CBCA Notice") filed by the Lead Investor under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended (the "CBCA").

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7(a) above, upon any amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation that becomes effective after the date this Certificate of Designation is filed by the State of Michigan that increases the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue to a number of shares at least as great as the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock (the date the Articles of Incorporation are amended to reflect such increase is referred to as the "Automatic Conversion Date"), each issued and outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) $1,000 by (ii) the then-applicable Conversion Price, without further action by either the Company or any holder of a share of Series B Preferred Stock.

Schedule 2 - 4

(c) Effective as of the close of business on the Automatic Conversion Date or any Conversion Date, any certificate representing any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall evidence only the right to receive the shares of Common Stock in which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been converted. As soon as practicable after the Automatic Conversion Date or any Conversion Date, the Company shall take such action as is necessary to exchange any certificate representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock for one or more certificates representing the Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock was converted or to otherwise reflect issuance of such shares of Common Stock in book entry form.

Section 8. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

(a) At any time after the date on which this Certificate of Designation is filed by the State of Michigan, if the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at any time is increased or decreased by a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares, or if additional shares are issued by the Company in connection with any stock split or dividend, then the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to such increase or decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock. All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this sentence are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that on any Automatic Conversion Date, adjustments to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward that has not been taken into account before such date. No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made if the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment as a result of holding the Series B Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4 above), without having to convert the Series B Preferred Stock, as if they held the full number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of the Series B Preferred Stock may then be converted.

(b) The Conversion Price shall not be adjusted: (i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director, or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable, or convertible security outstanding as of the date shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were first issued and not substantially amended thereafter.

(c) As soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8(a), the Company shall provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of the occurrence of such event and the adjusted Conversion Price.

Schedule 2 - 5

Section 9. Reorganization Events.

As long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, if there occurs, in one transaction or a series of related transactions: (i) any reorganization, merger, share exchange, consolidation, or similar transaction (other than a transaction pursuant to which the Company is the surviving entity and pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the transaction are not exchanged for cash, securities, or other property of the Company or another Person); (ii) any transaction resulting in the sale, transfer, lease, or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities, or other property of the Company or another Person; or (iii) any statutory exchange of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for securities of another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) (any such event specified in this Section 9, a "Reorganization Event"), then each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall be deemed, solely for purposes of this Section 9, to have converted, effective immediately prior to the effective time of the Reorganization Event, into the number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series B Preferred Stock would then be convertible; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not convert into shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event. Any agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of, or otherwise relating to, a Reorganization Event shall provide that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the type and amount of securities, cash, and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event (such securities, cash, and other property, the "Exchange Property") by the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, up to but excluding the date of consummation of such Reorganization Event, would then be convertible. If the holders of the shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall likewise be entitled to make such an election. The above provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 8 shall apply to any shares of capital stock of the Company (or any successor) received by the holders of the Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event. The Company (or any successor) shall, within seven days of the consummation of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such consummation of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities, or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 9. The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) a transaction that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 9.

Section 10. Voting Rights.

In addition to any other voting rights required by law, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

Schedule 2 - 6

(a) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder of such share to a number of votes, on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible as of the record date for such vote.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Certificate of Designation, in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of preferred stock or any similar stock, bylaw, or as otherwise provided by law, (i) the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company, and (ii) holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required for taking any corporate action (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth in this Certificate of Designation).

Section 11. Fractional Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the closing price of the Common Stock determined as of the second trading day immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. If more than one share of the Series B Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock so surrendered.

Section 12. Reacquired Shares.

Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after their acquisition. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of the preferred stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth in this Certificate of Designation, in the Articles, or in any other certificate of designation creating a series of preferred stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law. The Company may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; provided, that the Company shall not take any such action if such action would reduce the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock below the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.

Section 13. No Redemption.

The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

Schedule 2 - 7

Section 14. Miscellaneous

(c) The Articles shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.
