information contained herein for
purposes of such determination, (b) the Notes will not be

and/or qualified under any state securities laws. Subscriber also
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
A.
Advisors . Subscriber acknowledges that he, she or it
has been advised to consult with their own attorney regarding legal
matters concerning the Company and the Notes and to consult with
its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of acquiring the
Notes. Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has acted as financial advisor to the
Company (and not as an underwriter or placement agent for the
Notes) and has not acted as an advisor to, and does not represent,
Subscriber.
B. Private
Placement Memorandum and Access to SEC
Filings . Subscriber has received and has had a full
opportunity to review the Company’s Private Placement
Memorandum, including the description of the Notes and Risk Factors
contained therein. Subscriber acknowledges that he, she or it has
had full access to the Company’s public filings made pursuant
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which access
can be gained at http://www.sec.gov, http://www.gsionline.com,
http://www.freeedgar.com and http://www.10kwizard.com. By entering
into this Agreement, the undersigned Subscriber acknowledges

year ended December 31, 2008, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and the proxy statement for the
2009 annual meeting.
C. Notes
Not Registered . Subscriber understands that the Notes have
not been registered under the Securities Act or any other
Securities laws but are being offered and sold to Subscribers in
reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of Federal and State securities laws and that the
Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine
the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of
Subscribers to acquire the Notes.
D.
Investment Experience . The Subscriber is a
sophisticated, accredited and experienced investor with regard to
high-risk investments in restricted securities of the sort referred
to herein, and is willing and able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Notes in an amount equal to the amount the
Subscriber has subscribed to purchase. The Subscriber has the
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Notes. The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for current
needs and personal contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the
investment, and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment
in the Company of the size contemplated. In making this statement,
the Subscriber considered whether the Subscriber could afford to
hold the Notes for an indefinite period and whether, at this time,
the Subscriber could afford a complete loss of an investment in the
Notes.
E.
Accredited Investor Status . The Subscriber has
submitted to the Company a complete and executed “Accredited
Investor Questionnaire” substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A . The Subscriber hereby certifies that
he, she or it is an “Accredited Investor”, as that term
is defined under Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act and all

complete as of the date set forth
thereon. The Subscriber is aware that the sale of the Securities is
being made in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D, an exemption
for non-public offerings under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act.

for Own Account . The Subscriber’s purchase of the
Notes will be solely for the Subscriber’s own account and not
for the account of any other person.
G.
Investment Purpose . The Notes are being acquired by
the Subscriber in good faith for investment and not with a view to
distributing such Notes to others or otherwise reselling said Notes
or any portion thereof. The Subscriber understands that the
substance of the above representations is (i) that the Subscriber
does not presently intend to sell or otherwise dispose of all or
any part of the Notes; (ii) that the Subscriber does not now have
in mind the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the
Notes on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined
event; and (iii) that the Company is relying upon the truth and
accuracy of the representations.
H.
Investment Risks . The Subscriber understands that
the purchase of the Notes is subject to risks as stated in the Risk
Factors section of the Company’s Private Placement
Memorandum, and the Risk Factors disclosed in the Company’s
SEC filings or as otherwise may be applicable to similar
investments. The Subscriber acknowledges that he, she or it has had
an opportunity to review, and upon review, fully understands the
Risk Factors contained in the Private Placement Memorandum and also
the Risk Factors disclosed in the Company’s SEC
filings.
I. Due
Diligence . The Subscriber has relied solely upon this
Subscription Agreement, the Company’s Private Placement
Memorandum, the Notes, in substantially the form attached hereto as

Subscriber with respect to the Notes subscribed for herein, and no
oral or written representations beyond the Company’s SEC
filings have been made to or been relied upon by the
Subscriber.
J.
Representations Complete . The Subscriber’s
representations in this Agreement are complete and accurate to the
best of the Subscriber’s knowledge, and the Company and its
agents may rely upon them. The Subscriber will notify the Company
and any such agent immediately if any material change occurs in any
of this information before the sale of the Notes.
K. Transfer
Restrictions and Resale . The Notes have not been
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes
may be sold or transferred only in compliance with the applicable
securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Notes purchased by
Subscriber will be “restricted securities” for purposes
of SEC Rule 144 under the Act. The Subscriber agrees to comply with
Rule 144 which permits resales of debt securities by persons not
affiliated with the Company only if the debt securities have been
held for at least six months. Subscriber acknowledges that due to
the Note’s status as “restricted securities” it
may not be possible to liquidate the undersigned’s investment
in the Company during Rule 144‘s six month holding period
(the holding period is one year if the Subscriber is deemed to be
an “affiliate” of the Company).
L.
Legend . The Subscriber understands and agrees that
stop transfer instructions relating to the Notes will be placed in
the Company’s stock transfer ledger, and that the
certificates evidencing such securities will bear legends in
substantially the following form:

|
|
|
THIS OBLIGATION
IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE UNITED STATES OR ANY
AGENCY OR FUND OF THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT
INSURANCE CORPORATION. THIS OBLIGATION IS SUBORDINATED TO THE
CLAIMS OF THE GENERAL CREDITORS OF MACATAWA BANK CORPORATION AND IS
NOT SECURED.”
|
M. Binding
Obligation . This Agreement when fully executed and
accepted by the Company will constitute a valid and legally binding
obligation of the Subscriber, 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 therefore may
be brought. The Subscriber, if it is a partnership, joint venture,
corporation, trust or other entity, was not formed or organized for
the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes. The purchase of the
Notes by the Subscriber, if it is an entity, is a permissible
investment in accordance with the Subscriber’s Articles of
Incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, articles of
organization, declaration of trust or other similar charter
document, and has been duly approved by all requisite action by the
entity’s owners, directors, officers or other authorized
managers. The person signing this document and all documents
necessary to consummate the purchase of the Notes has all requisite
authority to sign such documents on behalf of the Subscriber, if it
is an entity.

Company under the applicable
rules and regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (or successor thereto), the indebtedness
evidenced by the Notes shall also be subordinated and junior in
right of payment to the Company’s obligations to the general
creditors of the Company.
Q. Events of
Default; Limited Rights of Acceleration . Regulations
containing the requirements for Tier 2 Capital treatment
substantially limit the “events of default” that result
in an acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes. The
Subscriber acknowledges that the only “events of
default” that will result in an acceleration of the amounts
due under the Notes are certain events related to the
Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency (whether voluntary or
involuntary) or the appointment of a receiver for the
Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Macatawa Bank. The
Subscriber further acknowledges that there is no right of
acceleration of the payment of principal of the Notes upon a
“default” in the payment of interest or principal on
the Notes or in the performance of any of the Company’s
covenants or agreements contained in the Notes, in the Subscription
Agreement or any of the Company’s other obligations or
liabilities.
