2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

          1.          Purpose . The purpose of the Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (this "Plan") is to advance the interests of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the "Corporation"), and its subsidiaries by providing a larger personal and financial interest in the success of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to employees and directors upon whose judgment, interest and special efforts the Corporation and its subsidiaries are dependent for the successful conduct of its and their operations and to enable the Corporation and its subsidiaries to attract and retain key employees and directors.

          2.          Participants . Options may be granted under this Plan to any employee or director of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The employees and directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to whom options are granted and the terms of such options shall be determined by the Board of Directors. A grantee may hold more than one option. Nothing contained in this Plan, nor in any option granted pursuant to this Plan, shall confer upon any employee or director any right to the continuation of his or her employment or directorship nor limit in any way the right of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to terminate such employment or directorship at any time. As used herein, the term "subsidiary" shall mean any present or future entity that is controlled by the Corporation, directly or through one or more intermediaries.

          3.          Effectiveness and Termination of Plan . This Plan shall become effective upon approval thereof by the shareholders of the Corporation at a meeting held, among other things, for such purpose. The adoption date of this Plan shall be March 20, 2000, the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. This Plan shall terminate on the earliest of: (i) ten (10) years from its adoption date; (ii) when all shares of Common Stock (as defined in Section 4 hereof) that may be issued under this Plan shall have been issued through exercise of options granted under this Plan; or (iii) at any earlier time that the Board of Directors may determine. Any option outstanding under this Plan at the time of its termination shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms and conditions and those of this Plan.

          4.          Common Stock . The aggregate number of shares of common stock, $2.50 par value per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") that may be issued under this Plan shall consist of 110,000 shares, subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 7 hereof. Such number of shares may be set aside out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Corporation not reserved for any other purpose or out of shares of Common Stock acquired by the Corporation. All or any shares of Common Stock subjected under this Plan to an option that, for any reason, is canceled, terminates, lapses or expires unexercised as to such shares may again be subjected to an option under this Plan.

          5.          Types of Options and Terms and Conditions .

                    (a)          Options granted under this Plan shall be in the form of: (i) incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); or (ii) options not qualifying under Section 422 of the Code ("Nonstatutory Stock Options"), all in such amounts as determined by the Board of Directors.

                    (b)          Options may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of this Plan. Except as hereinafter provided, all options granted pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

  •           (i)          Price . The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options granted under this Plan shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option. For purposes of this Plan, "fair market value" of the Common Stock shall mean: (A) the mean between the closing high bid and low asked prices as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (or, if not so reported, by the system then regarded as the most reliable source of such quotation); or (B) if the Common Stock is quoted in the domestic over-the-counter market, but there are not reported quotations on the given date, the value determined pursuant to (A) above using the reported quotations on the last previous date on which so reported; or (C) if neither of the foregoing clauses apply, the price determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

    The purchase price shall be paid in full at the time of such purchase, in: (A) cash; (B) shares of Common Stock of the Corporation valued at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of purchase; or (C) any combination of cash and Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may, in order to prevent any possible violation of law, require the purchase price to be paid in cash and further provide that the right to deliver Common Stock in payment of the purchase price may be limited or denied in any Option Agreements (as defined in Section 11 hereof). The purchase price shall be subject to adjustment, but only as provided in Section 7 hereof.

              (ii)          Duration and Exercise of Options . Options may be granted for terms of up to but not exceeding ten (10) years from the date the particular option is granted. Options shall be exercisable as provided by the Board of Directors at the time of grant thereof.

              (iii)          Termination of Employment or Service as a Director . Upon the termination of the grantee's employment or service as a director, his or her rights to exercise an option shall be only as follows:

    •           (1)          Death, Disability or Retirement . If the grantee's employment or service as a director is terminated by reason of death or disability (as described in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the grantee or the grantee's estate may, within one (1) year following such termination, exercise the option with respect to only such number of shares of Common Stock as to which the right of exercise had accrued on or before the last day on which the grantee was either an employee or director of the Corporation or any subsidiary. If the grantee's employment or service as a director is terminated by reason of retirement, the grantee or the grantee's estate (in the event of the grantee's death after such termination) may, within three (3) months following such termination, exercise the option with respect to only such number of shares of Common Stock as to which the right of exercise had accrued on or before the last day on which the grantee was either an employee or director of the Corporation or any subsidiary. For purposes of this Plan, "retirement" shall mean termination of employment or service as a director with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries on or after the grantee's 65th birthday or the grantee's 60th

                (2)          Other Reasons . If the grantee ceases to be an employee or director for any reason other than those provided above under "Death, Disability or Retirement," the grantee or the grantee's estate (in the event of the grantee's death after such termination) may, within the one (1) month period following such termination, exercise the option with respect to only such number of shares of Common Stock as to which the right of exercise had accrued on or before the last day on which the grantee was either an employee or director of the Corporation or any subsidiary.

                (3)          General . Notwithstanding the foregoing, no option shall be exercisable in whole or in part: (A) after the termination date provided in the option; or (B) except as provided in the second paragraph of Section 10, for one (1) year following the date the option was granted.
