If an Event of Default under paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) above shall occur and be continuing, then the holder of the Note shall have the option (unless such event shall have been remedied) to declare the Note to be due and payable. In the event that the Note becomes due and payable automatically as provided for in the first sentence of this paragraph, then 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.

FORM OF SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

The Note shall be in substantially the form set forth in this Exhibit, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or by the officer or officers executing the Note, as evidenced by his, her, or their execution of the Note.

COMMUNITY SHORES BANK CORPORATION

SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

DUE March 31, 2015

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, THE MICHIGAN UNIFORM SECURITIES ACT, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE. THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, THE MICHIGAN UNIFORM SECURITIES ACT, AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

THIS NOTE IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON SALE, PLEDGE AND OTHER TRANSFERS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND ISSUER OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS REQUIRING, IN MOST CASES, THE ISSUER'S CONSENT PRIOR TO ANY SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER.

THIS NOTE IS NOT A DEPOSIT OR OTHER OBLIGATION OF COMMUNITY SHORES BANK AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. THIS NOTE IS INELIGIBLE TO SECURE A LOAN FROM COMMUNITY SHORES BANK.

Community Shores Bank Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to:

1030 Norton LLC, a Michigan limited liability company

or permitted registered assigns, on March 31, 2015, the principal sum of One Million Two Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($1,280,000) and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from the date of this Note or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest hereon has been paid or duly provided for, whichever is later, quarterly in arrears on the 1st day of April, July, October, and January (each an "Interest Payment Date") in each year commencing on April 1, 2013, at eight percent (8%) per annum until the principal of this Note is paid or converted pursuant to the next paragraph.

If the Company makes an offering of its common stock upon maturity of the Note to retire the Note, the holder of the Note may elect to convert any portion of the total principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock (the "Share(s)"). The number of Share(s) into which any portion of the total principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note may be converted shall be determined by dividing such portion of the total principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note by seventy-five percent (75%) of the per share price at which the shares of common stock are offered. (Expressed algebraically, the number of Shares into which any portion of the total principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note is convertible equals x/(.75*y); where x is equal to the portion of the total principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note to be converted and y is equal to the offering price per share established by the Company for the offering.) No fractional shares shall be issued.

During the continuance of any Event of Default (as 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 eight percent (8%) to ten percent (10%) per annum.

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 which shall be the 15th day (whether or not a business day) of the calendar 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 principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable at the principal office 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.

This Note is issued under and pursuant to a Convertible Secured Note Purchase Agreement dated March 20, 2013, by and between the Company and the initial registered owner of this Note (the "Purchase Agreement") to which Purchase Agreement (and any amendments thereto) reference is made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, and duties of the Company and the person in whose name this Note is registered, the terms upon which the Note is, and is to be, registered and delivered, and a description of the circumstances under which the maturity of the Note may be subject to acceleration.

Upon execution and delivery of the Pledge Agreement by the Company as and when provided in the Purchase Agreement, this Note will be secured by a security interest, as more particularly described in the Pledge Agreement.

This Note is issued subject to the 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. No service charge will be made for any permitted transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Company will require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection 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 principal 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.

Secured Party shall not have any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights against prior parties. Secured Party shall not have any duty to sell any Collateral even if its value declines. Secured Party shall not have any obligation to exercise, or to notify Debtor of, any conversion or redemption rights or to take any similar action with regard to any Collateral.

6. Voting Rights. Unless and until Debtor fails to pay any of the Indebtedness at maturity, Secured Party has given the notice specified in Section 7 following such failure, and the 90-day period specified in Section 7 has expired without cure, Debtor may exercise all voting and other powers and rights pertaining to any Collateral and may receive and retain all dividends on Collateral.

7. Remedies. If any of the Indebtedness is not paid at maturity, then upon 90 days’ prior written notice by Secured Party to Debtor and the expiration of such 90-day period without cure, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable laws. Without limiting those rights and remedies, if all or any part of the Indebtedness is not paid at maturity, following such written notice by Secured Party to Debtor and the expiration of such 90-day period without cure then:

a. Secured Party shall have the right, but no obligation, to exercise and enforce any or all of Debtor’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the right to demand, enforce payment of, collect and receive all dividends, interest, principal payments and other sums that are at any time owing with respect to any of the Collateral and to apply the sums to the Indebtedness in any manner that Secured Party determines.

b. Secured Party may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner. Any notification that Secured Party is required to give to Debtor regarding any sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be considered reasonable if Secured Party mails or otherwise sends or delivers it to Debtor at least thirty days before the sale or other disposition.

c. Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of any collection or disposition of Collateral first to Secured Party’s attorney fees and expenses, as provided in Paragraph 8 of this Agreement, and then to the Indebtedness, in any manner that Secured Party determines, and Debtor shall be liable for any deficiency remaining.

All rights and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time.

8. Expenses. Debtor shall reimburse Secured Party on demand for all reasonable attorney fees, legal expenses, and other expenses that Secured Party incurs in protecting and enforcing Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement. This includes fees and expenses incurred in trying to obtain possession of Collateral from Debtor, a trustee or receiver in bankruptcy or any other person. Secured Party may apply any proceeds of collection or disposition of Collateral to Secured Party’s reasonable attorney fees, legal expenses and other expenses.

9. Amendments and Waivers. A provision of this Agreement may not be modified or waived except by a written agreement signed by Secured Party. Secured Party shall continue to have all of Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement even if Secured Party does not fully and promptly exercise them on all occasions.

10. Notices. Any notice to Debtor or Secured Party shall be considered to have been given if and when it is mailed, with postage prepaid, to the respective address of Debtor or Secured Party appearing on the first page of this Agreement or if and when it is delivered personally.

11. Other. In this Agreement “maturity” of any of the Indebtedness means the time when that Indebtedness has become due and payable, for whatever reason (including, for example, acceleration due to default or bankruptcy).
