SUBORDINATED NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
JUNE 27, 2000
To: Purchaser of a Floating Rate
Subordinated Note of Community Shores
Bank Corporation, Due June 30, 2006
Community Shores Bank Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the
"Company"), whose address is 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000,
agrees with you ("you") as follows:
1. The Note. The Company intends to issue up to $4,000,000 of its
Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due June 30, 2006 (the "Floating Rate
Subordinated Notes"). The Company has taken all necessary action to authorize
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the sale and issuance to you
under this Agreement of one of its Floating Rate Subordinated Notes, in the
principal amount (not less than $100,000) designated by you on the signature
page of this Agreement (the "Note"). The Note will be in substantially the form
set forth as Exhibit A to this Agreement. The Note will be dated as of the
Closing Date (defined below), and mature on June 30, 2006, unless the maturity
date is extended by written agreement of the Company and you. The Note will bear
interest on its unpaid principal balance at the Adjusted Firstar Prime Rate from
the Closing Date until payment in full, payable quarterly in arrears on April
15, July 15, October 15, and January 15 of each year, for the immediately
preceding quarter, commencing July 15, 2000. The Adjusted Firstar Prime Rate is
the per annum rate announced from time to time by Firstar Bank, N.A. as its
prime rate, or if that rate is not practical to determine for any period, then
during such period the prime rate prevailing at the time in the State of
Michigan, plus in either case one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per annum.
Interest on overdue interest will be payable on demand at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum. During the continuance of any Event of Default the per
annum rate of interest payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Note will
increase from the Adjusted Firstar Prime Rate to two percent (2%) per annum
above the Adjusted Firstar Prime Rate. The Note will be unsecured and will not
be convertible into capital stock of the Company. The Note may be prepaid in
whole or in part prior to maturity, without any prepayment fee, at any time at
the election of the Company, upon at least one (1) days prior written notice to
you.
THE NOTE WILL BE ISSUED IN REGISTERED FORM ONLY AND WILL BE
TRANSFERABLE ONLY AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT. THE NOTE WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE
AS COLLATERAL FOR LOANS FROM THE COMPANY'S SUBSIDIARY, COMMUNITY SHORES BANK
(THE "BANK"). THE NOTE IS NOT A DEPOSIT OR OTHER OBLIGATION OF THE BANK. THE
NOTE IS NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.

2. Purchase and Sale of the Note. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement, you agree to purchase from the Company,
and the Company agrees to issue and sell to you, a Note, in the aggregate
principal amount of not less than $100,000, you have designated on the signature
page of this Agreement, upon delivery by you, at or prior to the Closing Date,
of the purchase price specified in Section 3. The Company will initially issue

the main office of the Company at 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx
00000, at 9:00 a.m., on June 28, 2000, or on such other date and time as may be
mutually agreed upon between you and the Company (such date and time is called
the "Closing Date"). Unless otherwise mutually agreed between you and the
Company, at the Closing the Company will deliver the Note to you against payment
by you, by delivery to the Company of cash, a personal check, bank cashier's
check, or wire transfer, for 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note
to be sold and delivered to you (the "Purchase Price").

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan.
(b) The Company is duly authorized to conduct its current
business and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate
its properties and assets (including the voting capital stock of the Bank), and
to carry on its business; except to the extent that the Company's failure to be

material adverse effect on the Company.

Agreement, to issue and sell the Note, and to perform the terms of this
Agreement and of the Note.

December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

adverse change in the business or financial condition of the Company, except to
the extent disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report to the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, a copy of which has

violating any term of its Articles of Incorporation or its Bylaws, or any term
or condition of any agreement, lease, contract, instrument, judgment, decree, or
order applicable to it, where such default or violation would be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Company. Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, nor compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement and of the Note, will result in any default under or violation of any
term or condition of any agreement, lease, contract, instrument, judgment,
decree, or order applicable to it, where such default or violation would be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company, or in the creation of
any mortgage, lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the properties and assets

expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
(i) There exists no condition, event or act which would
constitute an Event of Default, as defined in Section 9 of this Agreement, or
which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such an Event of
Default.
5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser.

4
under Section 402(b)(9) of the Michigan Uniform Securities Act (the "Michigan
Act"), or without registration under the Michigan Act in reliance on Section 18
of the Securities Act. In determining whether these exemptions from registration
under the Securities Act, the Michigan Act, or other applicable securities laws,
are available, the Company is relying upon your representations, warranties and
covenants contained in this Agreement, and upon those of other purchasers of the
Company's Floating Rate Subordinated Notes. You represent and warrant to, and
agree with, the Company as follows, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAKE NO REPRESENTATION WITH
RESPECT TO SUBSECTIONS (F) OR (G) BELOW:

HOLDING THE NOTE, for investment and not with a view to any further sale or
distribution of the Note.
(b) The Note has not been registered under the Securities
Act, the Michigan Act, or any other state securities act, and will not be sold
or otherwise transferred without registration under the Securities Act, the
Michigan Act, and any other applicable state securities act, or an exemption

bear a restrictive legend providing that no sale or other transfer may be made
without registration under federal and state securities laws or an exemption
from registration. The records of the Company will also be marked to note the
restrictions on transfer of the Note referred to in this Section.
(c) In addition to the restrictions on transfer set forth
in subsection (b) above, you agree that you will give the Company at least 10
business days (or such shorter period as the Company may agree to) advance
notice of any proposed sale, pledge, or other transfer of the Note or of any
interest in the Note; and will not sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Note,
or any interest in the Note, without the written consent of the Company; except
that no consent of the Company shall be required for any sale of the Note to any
person who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of
the sale, or that is an entity all of the equity owners of which are members of
the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of the sale, OR FOR THE
TRANSFER OF THE NOTE TO XXXX X. XXXX, FOR WHOSE BENEFIT YOU WILL BE HOLDING THE
NOTE. The Company may decline to grant its consent for any reason, or no reason.

(e) You have not paid or agreed to pay any commission to
any person for soliciting you to purchase the Note; and you are not aware any
other person making any agreement to pay, or paying any commission in connection
with the sale of any Floating Rate Subordinated Note.

defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, because (initial the clause
that applies):
------- You are a member of the Board of Directors of the Company; or
------- You are a limited liability company, all of the members of which are
member of the Board of Directors of the Company; or
------- You are an individual retirement account, the sole owner of which is a
member of the Board of Directors of the Company; or
------- Describe your basis for being an accredited investor
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------.
(g) All communication with you regarding the purchase of
the Note has occurred in the State of Michigan; and if you are an individual,
you are a bona fide resident of the State of Michigan.
(h) You have full power and authority, and have taken,
and if you are an entity, your members, shareholders, directors, trustees or
other governing bodies have taken all action necessary to authorize the purchase
of the Note, and you have obtained the consent or approval of all governmental
agencies or bodies whose consent or approval is required for your purchase of
the Note. Your purchase of the Note does not violate any law, rule or regulation
to which you are subject nor the terms of any agreement or undertaking to which
you are a party.
6. Payment, Registration and Transfer of the Note. The Company
may make all payments on account of the principal of the Note and any interest
thereon directly by check duly mailed or delivered to you at your address set
forth in the register referred to in this Section 6, without any presentment or
notation of payment, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Note
with respect to the place and manner of payment. Any amount of principal so paid
on the Note shall be regarded as having been retired and cancelled at the time
of payment. When all principal of and interest on the Note has been fully paid,
the Note shall be surrendered to the Company and shall be retired and cancelled.
The Company will cause to be kept at its principal office a register in
which shall be entered the name and address of the holder of the Note, the
particulars of the Note, and of all transfers of the Note. The person in whose
name the Note shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner of
the Note for all purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary. Payment of or on account of the
principal of and interest on the Note shall be made
5
6
only to or upon the written order of the registered owner. For the purpose of
any request, direction, consent, or waiver under this Agreement, the Company may
deem and treat the registered owner of the Note as the owner of the Note without
production of the Note.
Subject to compliance with the requirements of Sections 5(b) and 5(c)
of this Agreement, the holder of the Note may at any time prior to maturity or
payment in full of the Note transfer the Note by surrender of the Note at the
principal office of the Company with an appropriate instrument of transfer, and
the Company shall, without expense to such holder or transfere, execute and
deliver to the transferee a new Note registered in the name of such transferee
in principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Note so
transferred. All Notes so issued upon transfers or exchanges shall have the same
maturity and rate of interest, contain the same provisions, and be subject to
the same terms and conditions as the Note so surrendered, including all of the
provisions of this Agreement.
Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and, if requested by the Company,
upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, the Company will issue a new Note of like tenor and amount in lieu
of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note. References in this Agreement
to the Note shall include any Note issued pursuant to this Section 6.
7. Subordination. The Company, for itself, its successors and
assigns, covenants and agrees, and each original and successor holder of the
Note by his acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Note, the payment
of the principal of and interest on the Note shall be subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement, to the
prior payment in full of all of the Company's Senior Debt. "Senior Debt" means
(a) all obligations and liabilities of the Company for borrowed money or
purchased money, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint,
several or joint and several, secured or unsecured, due or to become due, now
existing or later arising, (b) all similar obligations of the Company arising
from off-balance sheet guarantees and direct credit substitutes, and (c) all
obligations of the Company associated with derivative products such as interest
and foreign exchange rate contracts, commodity contracts, and similar
arrangements; to the extent, in each case, they are not by their terms made
subordinate and junior to or on a parity with the Note, provided, however, that
the obligations evidenced by the Company's Floating Rate Subordinated Notes that
are now outstanding or later issued shall not constitute Senior Debt. The Note
is not superior in right of payment to the other Floating Rate Subordinated
Notes, but instead shall rank pari passu with all of the other Floating Rate
Subordinated Notes for all purposes. The Note is senior to the Company's capital
stock and in the event of any liquidation or insolvency of the Company would be
eligible to receive payments out of the Company's assets before any payments to
the Company's shareholders with respect to the capital stock.
6
7
In the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or
any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings
relative to the Company or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings
for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company or the
distribution or marshalling of its assets or any composition with creditors of
the Company, whether or not involving insolvency of the Company, then and in
such event:
(i) all obligations of the Company to which the Note is
subordinated in right of payment shall be paid in full before any payment or
distribution of any character shall be made on account of the Note;
(ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of
any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the
holder of the Note would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 7
shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or distribution,
whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise,
directly to the holders of Senior Debt or their representative or
representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which
any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably
according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior
Debt held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in
full of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt; and
(iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or securities shall be received by the holder of the Note
before all Senior Debt is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be
held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over to the holders of such
Senior Debt or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such
Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the
payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Senior Debt shall
have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.
Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt, the holder of the
Note shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt to
receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company
applicable to the Senior Debt until all amounts owing on the Note shall be paid
in full, and as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Debt, and the holder of the Note no such payment or distribution made to the
holders of Senior Debt by virtue of this Section 7 which otherwise would have
been made to the holder of the Note shall be deemed to be a payment on account
of the Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Section 7
are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the
holder of the Note, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Debt, on the
other hand.
7
8
In the event that any default occurs in the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt, and if thereafter judicial
proceedings shall have been instituted with respect to such defaulted payment,
or if the maturity of any Senior Debt is accelerated by any holder thereof upon
a default with respect thereto and such acceleration has not been rescinded or
said accelerated Senior Debt has not been paid, then, and during the continuance
of either of such events, no payment of principal or interest on the Note shall
be made by the Company or demanded or accepted by any holder of the Note who has
received notice from the Company or from a holder of such Senior Debt of either
of such events. In case any payment or distribution shall be paid or delivered
to any holder of the Note who has received notice of either of the events
specified in the preceding sentence, in violation or contravention of the
provisions of this subordination, such payment or distribution shall be held in
trust for and paid and delivered to the holders of such Senior Debt until they
shall have been paid in full.
No present or future holder of Senior Debt shall be prejudiced in his
right to enforce subordination of the Note by any failure to act on the part of
the Company.
The subordination provisions of this Section 7 are solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Debt on the one
hand and the holder of the Note on the other hand, and nothing herein shall
impair, as between the Company and the holder of the Note, the obligation of the
Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to such holder the
principal of and interest on the Note in accordance with its terms, nor shall
anything in this Agreement prevent the holder of the Note from exercising all
remedies in this Agreement or otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement (subject to the rights,
if any, of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property or securities
otherwise payable or deliverable to the holder of the Note).
8. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees
that, so long as the Note is outstanding, it will perform and observe the
following covenants and provisions:
(a) The Company will pay the principal of and interest on
the Note at the time and place and in the manner stated in the Note.
(b) The Company will not sell all or substantially all of
its assets unless the purchaser agrees to be liable for the payment of all of
the Company's obligations under the Note.
(c) The Company will not consolidate with or merge into
any other corporation or entity or permit any other corporation or entity to
consolidate with or merge into the Company; provided that the foregoing shall
not apply to any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party if the
Company is the surviving corporation, or the surviving corporation agrees to be
liable for the payment of all of the Company's obligations under the Note.
8
9
(d) The Company will provide, within 20 days after
written request or request in person at the main office of the Company, to the
holder of the Note a copy of the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of
the end of the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company and a
consolidated statement of income for such fiscal year, in reasonable detail and
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such
financial statements will be available to the holder of the Note on or after the
90th day following the end of each fiscal year of the Company.
(e) During any period that an Event of Default exists and
is continuing under this Agreement, the Company will not make any payment of
principal of or interest on any other Floating Rate Subordinated Note unless the
Company makes a payment of principal or interest on the Note in an amount such
that the payments of principal and interest made on the Floating Rate
Subordinated Notes outstanding at that time are pro rata, based on the principal
and interest then due on each respective Floating Rate Subordinated Note
compared to the principal and interest then due on all of the Floating Rate
Subordinated Notes.
(f) The Company will, from time to time, within ten (10)
days after submission of a written request for payment, reimburse you for all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including legal fees and expenses, incurred by
you in connection with the preparation or review of this Agreement, the Note,
any amendment or proposed amendment to this Agreement or the Note, or any
related documents, or in analyzing or enforcing any of your rights under this
Agreement or the Note, or in connection with any claim or inquiry brought by any
shareholder of the Company or by any bank regulatory organization, in connection
with this Agreement, the Note, or any of the related transactions.
9. Defaults. Each of the following events shall constitute an
"Event of Default" under this Agreement:
(a) If the Company shall default in the payments of any
part of the principal of the Note when the same shall become due and payable,
whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by acceleration or
otherwise; and the default continues for more than (ten) 10 days after the
holder of the Note provides written notice of the default to the Company; or
(b) If the Company shall default in the payment of any
installment of interest on the Note, and the default continues for more than
(fifteen) 15 days after the holder of the Note provides written notice of the
default to the Company; or
(c) If the Company shall default in the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement or
the Note, and such default shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after
the holder of the Note provides written notice of the default to the Company; or
9
10
(d) If any representation or warranty made by the Company
in this Agreement shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material
respect on the date as of which it was made; or
(e) If the Company shall default in the payment of any
principal of or interest on any Floating Rate Subordinated Note other than the
Note, or upon any Senior Debt aggregating more than $100,000 in amount; and such
default continues unremedied for more than fifteen (15) days after notice by the
holder or holders of any such Floating Rate Subordinated Notes or Senior Debt to
the Company of such default; or
(f) The Commissioner of the Michigan Office of Financial
and Insurance Services, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other regulatory authority
having jurisdiction shall take possession of the properties, assets, and
business of the Bank or appoint a receiver or conservator of the Bank; or
(g) Any action or proceeding shall be commenced by or
against the Company or the Bank for reorganization, liquidation or similar
relief under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other bankruptcy, reorganization or
insolvency law or statute, and shall remain undismissed for 30 days.
If an Event of Default under paragraphs (f) or (g) above shall occur
and be continuing, the Note shall, without further action on the part of the
holder or any other person, automatically and immediately become due and
payable. If an Event of Default under paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above
shall occur and be continuing, then the holder of the Note shall have the option
(unless such event shall have been remedied) to pursue such remedies as are
permitted upon default under applicable law. In the event that the Note become
due and payable automatically as provided for in the first sentence of this
paragraph, then, subject to the subordination provisions of Section 7 of this
Agreement, the Note shall immediately mature and become due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are
expressly waived. No delay on the part of the holder of the Note in exercising
any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other rights, power or privilege under this Agreement.
10 Adjustment of Interest Rate and Fees. You and the Company
acknowledge that Community Shores LLC, one of the intended purchasers of a
Floating Rate Subordinated Note, intends to initially fund its purchase of a
Floating Rate Subordinated Note with a loan from Firstar Bank, N.A. that bears
interest at one-half percent (1/2%) below the per annum rate announced from time
to time by Firstar Bank, N.A. as its prime rate. In the event that Community
Shores LLC is required to pay a higher rate of interest to Firstar Bank, N.A.
(or another lender) for money that it
10
11
uses to fund (or continue funding) its Floating Rate Subordinated Note, the
Company agrees that during any period that a higher rate is in effect for such
funding, the Company will pay you an additional amount as interest such that the
interest rate paid on the Note will be at a rate that is not less than two
percent (2%) per annum above the rate of interest payable by Community Shores
LLC to fund its Floating Rate Subordinated Note. In addition, to the extent that
Community Shores LLC is required to pay any fees to Firstar Bank, N.A. (or
another lender) in connection with its obtaining of money to fund (or continue
to fund) its Floating Rate Subordinated Note, the Company will upon request by
Community Shores LLC, promptly reimburse Community Shores LLC for the amount of
such fees that it has paid.
11. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Changes or additions to this
Agreement may be made, and compliance with any covenant or provision herein set
forth may be omitted or waived, if the Company shall obtain consent thereto in
writing from the holder of Note. No change in or addition to Section 7 of this
Agreement, or waiver of compliance with the provisions of Section 7, shall in
any way affect the existing rights of creditors of the Company outstanding at
the time of any such change, addition or waiver. Any consent may be given
subject to the satisfaction of conditions stated in the document setting forth
or accompanying the consent.
12. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All

Agreement, are made as of the date of this Agreement, and shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and of the Note.

14. Benefits. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their
respective successors and assigns, including all assignees and subsequent

for in Section 6 hereof.

agreement between the Company and you as of the date and year first above
written.

defined in the Purchase Agreement referred to below) the per annum rate of
interest payable on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will increase from
the Adjusted Firstar Prime Rate to two percent (2%) per annum above the Adjusted
Firstar Prime Rate.
The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any
Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Note is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest

month immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date, notwithstanding the
cancellation of this Note upon any transfer or exchange of this Note subsequent
to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date. The

of the Company in Muskegon County, Michigan; provided, however, that payment of
interest or principal may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed
to the address of the person entitled to the payment as such address may appear
on the Note Register. All such payments shall be made in such coin or currency
of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts.
This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part prior to maturity, without
any prepayment fee, at any time at the election of the Company, upon at least
one (1) days prior written notice to the person in whose name this Note is
registered.

the Company designated as its Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due June 30, 2006

to $4,000,000. This Note is issued under and pursuant to a Subordinated Note
Purchase Agreement dated June __, 2000, by and between the Company and the

at the date of the Purchase Agreement or subsequently incurred, other than
obligations evidenced by the Company's Floating Rate Subordinated Notes that are

to the other Floating Rate Subordinated Notes, but instead shall rank pari passu
with all of the other Floating Rate Subordinated Notes. This Note is issued
subject to such provisions of the Purchase Agreement, and each holder of this
Note, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions.
This Note is issuable only as a registered Note without coupons in

with any transfer or exchange. The Company may treat the person in whose name
this Note is registered as the owner of this Note for the purpose of receiving
payment and for all other purposes whether or not this Note is overdue, and the
Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
As provided in the Purchase Agreement and subject to certain
limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, this Note is transferable on
the Note Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for transfer at
the principle office of the Company in Muskegon County, Michigan, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company, duly executed by, the registered holder of this Note.

circumstances as provided for in Section 10 of the Purchase Agreement.

of this Note or of the Purchase Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, the principal of
