ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company

     Fentura Financial, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Fentura”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Fenton, Michigan that owns three subsidiary banks (see “The Banks” below). All information in this Item 1 is as of December 31, 2009. The Corporation’s subsidiary banks operate 16 community banking offices offering a full range of banking services principally to individuals, small businesses, and government entities throughout mid-Michigan and western Michigan. At the close of business on December 31, 2009, the Corporation had assets of $522 million, deposits of $441 million, and shareholders’ equity of $21 million. Trust assets under management totaled $111 million.

     Fentura was incorporated in 1987 to serve as the holding company of its sole subsidiary bank, The State Bank (“TSB” or one of the “Banks”). TSB traces its origins to its predecessor, The Commercial Savings Bank of Fenton, which was incorporated in 1898. See “The Banks” below. On March 13, 2000 a second bank subsidiary, Davison State Bank (“DSB” or one of the “Banks”) commenced operation. On March 15, 2004, Fentura acquired West Michigan Community Bank (“WMCB” or one of the “Banks”).

     The Corporation’s principal executive offices are located at 175 North Leroy, Fenton, Michigan 48430-0725, and its telephone number is (810) 750-8725.

The Banks

     TSB’s original predecessor was incorporated as a state banking corporation under the laws of Michigan on September 16, 1898 under the name “The Commercial Savings Bank of Fenton.” In 1931, it changed its name to State Savings Bank of Fenton, and in 1988 became The State Bank. For over 100 years, TSB has been engaged in the general banking business in the Fenton, Michigan area. TSB is headquartered in Fenton and considers its primary service area to be portions of Genesee, Oakland, and Livingston counties in Michigan. As of December 31, 2009, TSB operated four offices and an operations center in the City of Fenton, Michigan, one office in the City of Linden, Michigan, one office in the Village of Holly, Michigan, two offices in the Township of Grand Blanc, Michigan, and one office in Brighton, Michigan. Its main office is located in downtown Fenton.

     DSB commenced operations on March 13, 2000, and is engaged in the general banking business in the Davison, Michigan area. DSB is headquartered in Davison and considers its primary service area to be portions of Genesee and Lapeer Counties. As of December 31, 2009, DSB operated two offices in the City of Davison, Michigan.

     Fentura acquired West Michigan Community Bank on March 15, 2004. WMCB is engaged in the general banking business in Hudsonville, Michigan, and other portions of Ottawa County and western Kent County, Michigan. WMCB is headquartered in Hudsonville and considers its primary service areas to be portions of Kent and Ottawa counties. As of December 31, 2009, WMCB operated two offices in the City of Hudsonville, Michigan, one office in the City of Jenison, Michigan, and two offices in the City of Holland, Michigan.

     All of the Banks are community-oriented providers of financial services engaged in the business of general commercial banking. Their activities include investing in state and federal securities, accepting demand deposits, savings and other time deposits, extending retail, commercial, consumer and real estate loans to individuals and businesses, providing safe deposit boxes, transmitting funds and providing other services generally associated with full service commercial banking. Lending is focused on individuals and small businesses in the local markets served by the Banks. In addition, TSB and WMCB operate trust departments offering a full range of fiduciary services.

     All three banks are state banks, chartered under the Michigan Banking Code. None are members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), but the deposits of each are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). See “Supervision and Regulation” below.

     As of December 31, 2009, TSB employed 105 full time personnel, including 40 officers, and an additional 41 part time employees; DSB employed 9 full time personnel, including 2 officers, and an additional 6 part time employees; WMCB employed 33 full time personnel, including 11 officers, and an additional 8 part time employees. All Banks consider their employee relations to be excellent.

Competition

     The financial services industry is highly competitive. The Banks compete with other commercial banks, many of which are subsidiaries of bank holding companies, for loans, deposits, trust accounts, and other business on the basis of interest rates, fees, convenience and quality of service. The Banks also compete with a variety of other financial services organizations including savings and loan associations, finance companies, mortgage banking companies, brokerage firms, credit unions and other financial organizations. Many of the Banks’ competitors have substantially greater resources than the Banks.

Supervision and Regulation

     The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the Corporation and the Banks. This summary is qualified in its entirety by such statutes and regulations. A change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the Corporation, the Banks and the business of the Corporation and the Banks.

General

     Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. Consequently, the growth and earnings performance of the Corporation and the Banks can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the statutes administered by, and the regulations and policies of, various governmental regulatory authorities. Those authorities include, but are not limited to, the Federal Reserve Board      , the FDIC, the Commissioner of the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation (“Commissioner”), the Internal Revenue Service, and state taxing authorities. The effect of such statutes, regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.

     Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions and their holding companies regulate, among other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, lending activities and practices, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to the Corporation and the Banks establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance funds, the depositors of the Banks, and the public, rather than shareholders of the Banks or the Corporation.

     Federal law and regulations establish supervisory standards applicable to the lending activities of the Banks, including internal controls, credit underwriting, loan documentation and loan-to-value ratios for loans secured by real property.

The Corporation

     General. The Corporation, as the sole shareholder of the Banks, is a bank holding company and is registered with, and subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the “BHCA”). Under the BHCA, the Corporation is subject to periodic

examination by the Federal Reserve Board, and is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board periodic reports of its operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require.

     In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, the Corporation is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Banks and to commit resources to support the Banks in circumstances where the Corporation might not do so absent such policy. In addition, if the Commissioner deems a bank’s capital to be impaired, the Commissioner may require the bank to restore its capital by a special assessment upon the Corporation as the Bank’s sole shareholder. If the Corporation were to fail to pay any such assessment, the directors of the bank would be required, under Michigan law, to sell the shares of the Bank’s stock owned by the Corporation to the highest bidder at either a public or private auction and use the proceeds of the sale to restore the Bank’s capital.

     The Corporation’s common stock is registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). It is therefore subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act. On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act provided for numerous changes to the reporting, accounting, corporate governance and business practices of companies as well as financial and other professionals who have involvement with the U.S. public markets.

     Investments and Activities. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve Board approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Federal Reserve Board may allow a bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States without regard to geographic restrictions or reciprocity requirements imposed by state law, but subject to certain conditions, including limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the acquiring holding company and all of its insured depository institution affiliates.

     The merger or consolidation of an existing bank subsidiary of the Corporation with another bank, or the acquisition by such a subsidiary of assets of another bank, or the assumption of liability by such a subsidiary to pay any deposits in another bank, will require the prior written approval of the responsible Federal depository institution regulatory agency under the Bank Merger Act. In addition, in certain such cases, an application to, and the prior approval of, the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA and/or the Commissioner under the Michigan Banking Code, may be required.

     With certain limited exceptions, the BHCA prohibits any bank holding company from engaging, either directly or indirectly through a subsidiary, in any activity other than managing or controlling banks unless the proposed non-banking activity is one that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Under current Federal Reserve Board regulations, such permissible non-banking activities include such things as mortgage banking, equipment leasing, securities brokerage, and consumer and commercial finance company operations. Well-capitalized and well-managed bank holding companies may engage de novo in certain types of non-banking activities without prior notice to, or approval of, the Federal Reserve Board, provided that written notice of the new activity is given to the Federal Reserve Board within 10 business days after the activity is commenced. If a bank holding company wishes to engage in a non-banking activity by acquiring a going concern, prior notice and/or prior approval will be required, depending upon the activities in which the company to be acquired is engaged, the size of the company to be acquired and the financial and managerial condition of the acquiring bank holding company.

     A bank holding company whose subsidiary depository institutions all are well-capitalized and well-managed and who have Community Reinvestment Act ratings of at least “satisfactory” may elect to

become a financial holding company. A financial holding company is permitted to engage in a broader range of activities than are permitted to bank holding companies.

     Those expanded activities include any activity which the Federal Reserve Board (in certain instances in consultation with the Department of the Treasury) determines, by order or regulation, to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity, or to be complementary to a financial activity and not to pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. Such expanded activities include, among others: insuring, guaranteeing, or indemnifying against loss, harm, damage, illness, disability or death, or issuing annuities, and acting as principal, agent, or broker for such purposes; providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services, including advising a mutual fund; and underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in securities. The Corporation has not elected to be treated as a financial holding company.

     The BHCA generally does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of non-bank subsidiaries of bank or financial holding companies.

     Federal legislation also prohibits the acquisition of control of a bank holding company, such as the Corporation, by a person or a group of persons acting in concert, without prior notice to the Federal Reserve Board. Control is defined in certain cases as the acquisition of 10% of the outstanding shares of a bank holding company.

     Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board uses capital adequacy guidelines in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies. If capital falls below minimum guidelines, a bank holding company may, among other things, be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses. These capital guidelines are comparable to those established by the regulatory authorities for the Banks discussed below.

     Dividends. The Corporation is a corporation separate and distinct from the Banks. Most of the Corporation’s revenues are received by it in the form of dividends paid by the Banks. Thus, the Corporation’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is indirectly limited by statutory restrictions on the Banks’ ability to pay dividends described below. Further, in a policy statement, the Federal Reserve Board has expressed its view that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends exceeding its net income or which can only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company’s financial health, such as by borrowing. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies. Similar enforcement powers over the Banks are possessed by the FDIC. The “prompt corrective action” provisions of federal law and regulation authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to restrict the payment of dividends by the Corporation for an insured bank which fails to meet specified capital levels.

     In addition to the restrictions on dividends imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, the Michigan Business Corporation Act provides that dividends may be legally declared or paid only if after the distribution a corporation, such as the Corporation, can pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business and its total assets equal or exceed the sum of its liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any holders of preferred stock whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

     Recent Regulatory Developments. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was enacted on October 3, 2008. Pursuant to EESA, the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) created the Troubled Asset Relief Program’s (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) under which the Treasury was authorized to invest in non-voting, senior preferred stock of U.S. banks and savings associations or their holding companies. The Corporation and the Banks did not participate in the TARP CPP.

     On October 22, 2009, the Federal Reserve Board issued proposed guidance for structuring incentive compensation arrangements for all financial institutions. The guidance does not set forth any formulas or pay caps, but sets forth certain principles which companies would be required to follow with respect to employees and groups of employees that may expose the institution to material amounts of risk.

The Banks

     General. The Banks are Michigan banking corporations, and their deposit accounts are insured by the deposit insurance fund of the FDIC. As FDIC-insured Michigan chartered banks, the Banks are subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the Commissioner, as the chartering authority for Michigan banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the deposit insurance fund. These agencies and the federal and state laws applicable to the Banks and their operations, extensively regulate various aspects of the banking business including, among other things, permissible types and amounts of loans, investments and other activities, capital adequacy, branching, interest rates on loans and on deposits, the maintenance of non-interest bearing reserves on deposit accounts, and the safety and soundness of banking practices.

     Deposit Insurance. As FDIC-insured institutions, the Banks are required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the deposit insurance fund pursuant to a risk-based assessment system. Deposit accounts are generally insured up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. Effective October 3, 2008, EESA raised the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. This increase is effective on a temporary basis until December 31, 2013.

     Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment regulations there are four risk categories, and each insured institution is assigned to a risk category based on capital levels and supervisory ratings. Well-capitalized institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2 are placed in Risk Category I while other institutions are placed in Risk Categories II, III or IV depending on their capital levels and CAMELS composite ratings. The assessment rates may be changed by the FDIC as necessary to maintain the deposit insurance fund at the reserve ratio designated by the FDIC. The FDIC may set the reserve ratio annually at between 1.15% and 1.50% of insured deposits. Generally, deposit insurance assessments will be collected for a quarter at the end of the next quarter. Assessments will be based on deposit balances at the end of the quarter, except institutions with $1 billion or more in assets and any institutions that become insured on or after January 1, 2007 will have their assessment base determined using average daily balances of insured deposits.

     Due to a decrease in the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund, on October 7, 2008, the FDIC established a restoration plan to restore the reserve ratio to at least 1.15% within five years (the FDIC extended this time to eight years. On December 16, 2008, the FDIC adopted and issued a final rule increasing the rates banks pay for deposit insurance uniformly by 7 basis points (annualized) effective January 1, 2009. Under the final rule, risk-based rates for the first quarter 2009 assessment will range between 12 and 50 basis points (annualized). The 2009 first quarter assessment rates varied depending on an institution’s risk category. On February 27, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule amending the way that the assessment system differentiates for risk and setting new assessment rates beginning with the second quarter of 2009. As of April 1, 2009, for the highest rated institutions, those in Risk Category I, the initial base assessment rate was between 12 and 16 basis points and for the lowest rated institutions, those in Risk Category IV, the initial base assessment rate was 45 basis points. The final rule modified the means to determine a Risk Category I institution’s initial base assessment rate. It also provided for the following adjustments to an institution’s assessment rate: (1) a decrease for long-term unsecured debt, including most senior and subordinated debt and, for small institutions, a portion of Tier 1 capital; (2) an increase for secured liabilities above a threshold amount; and (3) for institutions in risk categories other than Risk Category I, an increase for brokered deposits above a threshold amount. After applying these adjustments, for the highest rated institutions, those in Risk Category I, the total base assessment rate is between 7 and 24 basis points and for the lowest rated institutions, those in Risk Category IV, the total base assessment rate is between 40 and 77.5 basis points.

     On May 22, 2009, the FDIC imposed a special assessment of five basis points on each FDIC-insured depository institution’s assets, minus its Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The special assessment was collected on September 30, 2009, and the Banks’ paid an additional assessment of $267,000.

     On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule that required insured institutions to prepay on December 31, 2009, estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. For purposes of calculating the prepayment amount, the institution’s third quarter 2009 assessment base was increased quarterly at a five percent annual growth rate through the end of 2012. On September 29, 2009, the FDIC also increased annual assessment rates uniformly by three basis points beginning in 2011. On December 31, 2009, the Banks prepaid estimated assessments of $303,000.

     On November 21, 2008, the FDIC adopted final regulations implementing the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) pursuant to which depository institutions could elect to participate. Pursuant to the TLGP, the FDIC provides full FDIC deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts regardless of dollar amount for an additional fee assessment by the FDIC (the “Transaction Account Guarantee”). These accounts are mainly payment-processing accounts, such as business payroll accounts. The Banks did not opt out of the Transaction Account Guarantee portion of the TLGP. The Transaction Account Guarantee was to expire on December 31, 2009, but has been extended until June 30, 2010. Through December 31, 2009, participating institutions were assessed a 10 basis point surcharge on the portion of eligible accounts that exceeds the general limit on deposit insurance coverage. After December 31, 2009, participating institutions will be assessed 15 to 25 basis points depending on the risk category assigned to the institution. All insured depository institutions currently participating may opt out of participation in the extended period. The Banks have not elected to continue its participation in the Transaction Account Guarantee program.

     Also pursuant to the TLGP, the FDIC will guarantee, through the earlier of maturity or December 31, 2012, certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating institutions on or after October 14, 2008 and before October 31, 2009 (the “Debt Guarantee”). The Corporation and the Banks did not opt out of the Debt Guarantee portion of the TLGP but did not issue any debt under the Debt Guarantee program.

     FICO Assessments. The Banks are subject to assessments to cover the payments on outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”). FICO was created to finance the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, during the thrift crisis in the 1980s. From now until the maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019, insured institutions will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds on a pro rata basis.

     Commissioner Assessments. Michigan banks are required to pay supervisory fees to the Commissioner to fund the operations of the Commissioner. The amount of supervisory fees paid by a bank is based upon the bank’s total assets, as reported to the Commissioner.

     Capital Requirements. The FDIC has established the following minimum capital standards for state-chartered, FDIC insured non-member banks, such as the Banks: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with minimum requirements of 4% to 5% for all others, and a risk-based capital requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity. These capital requirements are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions.

     Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators’ powers depends on whether the institution in question is “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” or “critically undercapitalized.” Federal regulations define these capital categories as follows:

		Total		Tier 1
		Risk-Based		Risk-Based
		Capital Ratio		Capital Ratio		Leverage Ratio
Well capitalized		10% or above		6% or above		5% or above
Adequately capitalized		8% or above		4% or above		4% or above
Undercapitalized		Less than 8%		Less than 4%		Less than 4%
Significantly undercapitalized		Less than 6%		Less than 3%		Less than 3%
Critically undercapitalized		—		—		A ratio of tangible
						equity to total assets
						of 2% or less

     As of December 31, 2009, each of the Banks’ ratios exceeded minimum requirements for the adequately capitalized category.

     In general, a depository institution may be reclassified to a lower category than is indicated by its capital levels if the appropriate federal depository institution regulatory agency determines the institution to be otherwise in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. This could include a failure by the institution, following receipt of a less-than-satisfactory rating on its most recent examination report, to correct the deficiency.

     In addition, FDIC insured institutions may be liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institutions or any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institutions in danger of default.

     Regulatory Agreements In December 2008, WMCB was presented with a Consent Order from the FDIC and the Commissioner (the “Consent Order”). The Consent Order set forth commitments to be made by WMCB to, among other items, address and strengthen WMCB’s practices relating to oversight of WMCB by the management and board of directors of WMCB; maintain sufficient capital at WMCB; improve asset quality through the review of WMCB’s position on problem loans; improve WMCB’s liquidity position; review the adequacy of WMCB’s allowance for loan and lease losses; and adopt and implement a profit plan and budget. The Consent Order also requires WMCB to retain a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of a minimum of 8.0%. As of December 31, 2009, WMCB had a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of 6.9%. WMCB’s board of directors and management reviewed the Consent Order and after discussions, the directors signed the Consent Order agreeing to comply with all of the requirements of the Consent Order. This Consent Order is effective February 9, 2009.

     In December 2009, TSB was presented with a Consent Order from the FDIC and the Commissioner (the “Consent Order”). The Consent Order set forth commitments to be made by TSB to, among other items, address and strengthen TSB’s practices relating to oversight of TSB by the management and board of directors of TSB; maintain sufficient capital at TSB; improve asset quality through the review of TSB’s position on problem loans; improve TSB’s liquidity position; review the adequacy of TSB’s allowance for loan and lease losses; and adopt and implement a profit plan and budget. The Consent Order requires TSB to maintain a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of a minimum of 8.0% and a total capital to risk-weighed asset ratio of 12.0%. At December 31, 2009, TSB had a Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio of 6.2% and a total capital to risk-weighted asset ratio of 8.9%. TSB’s board of directors and management reviewed the Consent Order and after discussions, the directors signed the Consent Order agreeing to comply with all of the requirements of the Consent Order. This Consent Order is effective January 8, 2010.

     Dividends. Under Michigan law, the Banks are restricted as to the maximum amount of dividends they may pay on their common stock. The Banks may not pay dividends except out of net income after deducting their losses and bad debts. A Michigan state bank may not declare or pay a dividend unless the bank will have surplus amounting to at least 20% of its capital after the payment of the dividend.

     Federal law generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. The FDIC may prevent an insured bank from paying dividends if the bank is in default of payment of any assessment due to the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC may prohibit the payment of dividends by an insured bank, if such payment is determined, by reason of the financial condition of the bank, to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

     Pursuant to the Consent Order, TSB may not declare or pay any cash dividend without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the Commissioner.

     Insider Transactions. The Banks are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the Corporation or its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Corporation or its subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Corporation or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Banks to their directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, to principal shareholders of the Corporation, and to “related interests” of such directors, officers and principal shareholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries or a principal shareholder of the Corporation may obtain credit from banks with which the Banks maintain a correspondent relationship.

     Safety and Soundness Standards. The FDIC has adopted guidelines to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. These guidelines establish standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.

     Investments and Other Activities. Under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC -insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law, as implemented by FDIC regulations, also prohibits FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund. Impermissible investments and activities must be divested or discontinued within certain time frames set by the FDIC in accordance with federal law. These restrictions are not currently expected to have a material impact on the operations of the Banks.

     Federal law also authorizes insured state banks to engage in financial activities, through subsidiaries, similar to the activities permitted for financial holding companies. If a state bank wants to establish a subsidiary engaged in financial activities, it must meet certain criteria, including that it and all of its affiliated insured depository institutions are well-capitalized and have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least “satisfactory” and that it is well-managed. There are capital deduction and financial statement requirements and financial and operational safeguards that apply to subsidiaries engaged in financial activities. Such a subsidiary is considered to be an affiliate of the bank and there are limitations on certain transactions between a bank and a subsidiary engaged in financial activities of the same type that apply to transactions with a bank’s holding company and its subsidiaries.

     Consumer Protection Laws. The Banks’ businesses include making a variety of types of loans to individuals. In making these loans, the Banks are subject to State usury and regulatory laws and to

various federal statutes, including the privacy of consumer financial information provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and regulations promulgated there under, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and the regulations promulgated there under, which prohibit discrimination, specify disclosures to be made to borrowers regarding credit and settlement costs, and regulate the mortgage loan servicing activities of the Banks, including the maintenance and operation of escrow accounts and the transfer of mortgage loan servicing. In receiving deposits, the Banks are subject to extensive regulation under State and federal law and regulations, including the Truth in Savings Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Bank Secrecy Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Violation of these laws could result in the imposition of significant damages and fines upon the Banks and its directors and officers.

     Branching Authority. Michigan banks, such as the Banks, have the authority under Michigan law to establish branches in any state, including Michigan, the District of Columbia, a territory or protectorate of the United States or a foreign country, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Under federal law banks may establish interstate branch networks through merger or consolidation with other banks without regard to whether such activity is contrary to state law. The establishment of de novo interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the merger or consolidation with an out-of-state bank) is allowed only if specifically authorized by the law of the state where the branch will be established or acquired.

     Michigan law permits both U.S. and non-U.S. banks to establish branch offices in Michigan. The Michigan Banking Code permits, in appropriate circumstances and with the approval of the Commissioner, (1) sale by a Michigan bank of branches to an FDIC-insured bank, savings bank or savings and loan association located in a state in which a Michigan bank could purchase branches of the purchasing entity, (2) consolidation of Michigan banks and FDIC-insured banks, savings banks or savings and loan associations located in other states having laws which permit such a consolidation, (3) establishment of branches in Michigan by FDIC-insured banks located in other states, the District of Columbia or U.S. territories or protectorates having laws permitting a Michigan bank to establish a branch in such jurisdiction, and (4) establishment by foreign banks of branches located in Michigan.

Reserve Requirement. Under a regulation promulgated by the Federal Reserve, depository institutions, including the Banks, are required to maintain cash reserves against a stated percentage of their transaction accounts. Effective October 9, 2008, the Federal Reserve Banks are now authorized to pay interest on such reserves. The current reserve requirements are as follows:

	•		for transaction accounts totaling $10.7 million or less, a reserve of 0%; and
	•		for transaction accounts in excess of $10.7million up to and including $55.2 million, a reserve of 3%; and
	•		for transaction accounts totaling in excess of $55.2 million, a reserve requirement of $1.335 million plus 10% of that portion of the total transaction accounts greater than $55.2 million.

The dollar amounts and percentages reported here are all subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve.
