The Subscriber hereby specifically accepts and adopts and consents to be bound by each and every provision of this Subscription and Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”). The Subscriber shall pay for the Shares at the price of $1,000 per Share, in good funds (e.g. cashier’s check, personal check or wire transfer), and for that purpose agrees to tender upon request an amount equal to the total Dollar Amount of Subscription as set forth on the signature page hereof.

         2.         CLOSING . The Company may conduct one or more closings of the purchase and sale of the Shares (each one a “Closing” ). Each closing shall occur at the offices of Varnum, Riddering, Schmidt & Howlett LLP, 333 Bridge Street, N.W., Suite 1700, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49504 on such dates or at such other place as may be determined by the Company (each one a “Closing Date”). In connection with each Closing, the Company or the Company’s transfer agent will deliver to the Subscriber the Shares, each registered in the undersigned Subscriber’s name (or in the name of such Subscriber’s nominees as may be specified by such Subscriber), against payment by the Subscriber of the purchase price of the Shares.

         3.         ACCEPTANCE . This Agreement is made subject to the Company’s discretionary right to accept or reject the subscription herein. Following action by the Company, the Subscriber will be notified as to whether the subscription has been accepted or rejected. If the Company shall for any reason reject all or part of this subscription, any amount already paid by the Subscriber with respect to the rejected subscription, or part thereof, will be promptly refunded, without interest.

determine whether the Subscriber's subscription to purchase Shares should be accepted by the Company in light of the requirements of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, similar sections of the securities laws of various states, and other relevant factors. The Subscriber understands that (a) the Company will rely on the information contained herein for purposes of such determination, (b) the Shares will not be registered under the Act in reliance upon exemptions from registration afforded under the Act, which may include Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”), and (c) the Shares, at the time of sale described herein, will not be registered 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 Shares and to consult with its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of acquiring the Shares. 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 Shares) 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 Shares 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 receipt of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 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.         Shares Not Registered . Subscriber understands that the Shares 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 Shares.

                 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 Shares 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 Shares. 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 Shares for an indefinite period and whether, at this time, the Subscriber could afford a complete loss of an investment in the Shares.

                 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 information which the Subscriber has provided to the Company in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire is correct and 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.

                 F.         Purchase for Own Account . The Subscriber’s purchase of the Shares will be solely for the Subscriber’s own account and not for the account of any other person.

                 G.         Investment Purpose . The Shares are being acquired by the Subscriber in good faith for investment and not with a view to distributing such Shares to others or otherwise reselling said Shares 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 Shares; (ii) that the Subscriber does not now have in mind the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Shares 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 Shares 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 Certificate of Designation, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B , and the independent investigations made by the Subscriber with respect to the Shares 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 Shares.

                 K.        Transfer Restrictions and Resale . The Shares have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Shares 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 Shares 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 shares by persons not affiliated with the Company only if the shares have been held for at least six months. Subscriber acknowledges that due to the Share’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.         SEC Disclosure . The Subscriber understands that any investor individually, or acting as part of a group who acquires beneficial ownership of more than 5.0% of the Company’s common stock will be required to file a Schedule 13G or a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                 M.         Federal Reserve Board Approval . The Subscriber understands that an acquisition of the Company’s common stock in an amount that would cause such holder to beneficially own more than 9.9% of the Company’s common stock outstanding at such time will be subject to the Change in Bank Control Act, Regulation Y and related rules and regulations and would require notices filings and Federal Reserve Board advance approval under applicable banking laws and regulations.

                 N.         Legend . The Subscriber understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions relating to the Shares 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:

 

“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.”

 



Please refer to Section K. above for additional information about transfer restrictions and resale procedures.

                 O.        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 Shares. The purchase of the Shares 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 outstanding Series A Preferred Shares have an aggregate liquidation amount of $31,290,000. The fact that the Shares are junior to the Series A Preferred Shares means that the Company may not pay to the holders of the Shares any dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation or winding up of the Company unless the Company has first paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares the amounts to which the holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled.

                 D.         Binding Obligation . Assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company 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.

                 E.         No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, including the issuance and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, are not in contravention of or in conflict with any contract to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties may be bound or affected.
