BALLOT FOR ACCEPTING OR REJECTING THE DEBTORS’

AMENDED AND RESTATED PREPACKED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

CLASS I – SENIOR NOTES

PRIVATE 2

BALLOT FOR VOTING HOLDERS OF SENIOR NOTES

(CLASS 1 SENIOR NOTES)

If you are, as of June 19, 2012, a holder of a Senior Note,1 please use this Ballot to cast your vote to accept or reject the Amended and Restated Prepackaged Joint Plan of Reorganization (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Plan”), which is being proposed by Capitol Bancorp Ltd. and Financial Commerce Corporation (collectively, the “Debtors”). The Plan is attached as Annex J to Supplement No. 1 (Class 2 – Trust Preferred Securities) (the “Disclosure Supplement”) to Confidential Out-of-Court Exchange Offering Memorandum and Solicitation of Consents and Disclosure Statement and Solicitation of Votes Related to an In-Court Standby Prepackaged Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement”). Subsequent to this solicitation, subject to certain conditions, the Debtors intend to commence cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan can be confirmed by the Court, and thereby made binding upon you, if it is accepted by (i) the holders of two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of Claims and (ii) the holders of two-thirds in amount of Equity Security Interests, in each class that votes on the Plan, and if the Plan otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. If the requisite acceptances are not obtained, the Court may nonetheless confirm the Plan if it finds that the Plan provides fair and equitable treatment to, and does not discriminate unfairly against, the class or classes rejecting the Plan, and otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

You should review the Offering Memorandum Disclosure Statement, Disclosure Supplement and the Plan before you vote. You may wish to seek legal advice concerning the Plan and the classification and treatment of your claim or claims under the Plan. Senior Notes have been placed in Class 1 under the Plan. If you hold more than one claim against the Debtors, you will receive a Ballot for each claim you are entitled to vote.

VOTING DEADLINE: 5:00 P.M., EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME, ON JULY 27, 2012.

If your vote is not received by the Debtors’ Voting Agent, Kurtzman Carson Consultants, at the following address on or before the Voting Deadline and such deadline is not extended, your vote will not count as an acceptance or rejection of the Plan:

MASTER BALLOT FOR VOTING HOLDERS OF TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

(CLASS 2 TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES)

This master ballot (the “Master Ballot”) is to be used by you, as a broker, bank or other nominee, or as proxy holder or agent (each of the foregoing, a “Nominee”), for beneficial owners of the Trust Preferred Securities1 (“Beneficial Owners”). This Master Ballot is being sent to Nominees for such Nominees to cast votes to accept or reject the Amended and Restated Prepackaged Joint Plan of Reorganization (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Plan”), which is being proposed by Capitol Bancorp Ltd. and Financial Commerce Corporation (collectively, the “Debtors”), on behalf of and in accordance with the ballots (the “Individual Ballots”) cast by the Beneficial Owners. The Plan is attached as Annex J to Supplement No. 1 (the “Disclosure Supplement”) to Confidential Out-of-Court Exchange Offering Memorandum and Solicitation of Consents and Disclosure Statement and Solicitation of Votes Related to an In-Court Standby Prepackaged Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement”), which accompanies this Master Ballot. Subsequent to this solicitation, subject to certain conditions, the Debtors intend to commence cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan can be confirmed by the Court and thereby made binding upon you and the Beneficial Owners for which you are the Nominee if it is accepted by (i) the holders of two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of Claims and (ii) the holders of two-thirds in amount of Equity Security Interests, in each class that votes on the Plan, and if the Plan otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. If the requisite acceptances are not obtained, the Court may nonetheless confirm the Plan if it finds that the Plan provides fair and equitable treatment to, and does not discriminate unfairly against, the class or classes rejecting the Plan, and otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Beneficial Owners for which you are the Nominee should review the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement, Disclosure Supplement and the Plan before voting. Such Beneficial Owners may wish to seek legal advice concerning the Plan and the classification and treatment of their claim or claims under the Plan. Trust Preferred Securities have been placed in Class 2 under the Plan. If Beneficial Owners hold more than one claim against the Debtors, they will receive a Ballot for each claim they are entitled to vote.

VOTING DEADLINE: 5:00 P.M., EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME, ON JULY 27, 2012.

IF KCC DOES NOT ACTUALLY RECEIVE THIS MASTER BALLOT ON OR BEFORE THE VOTING DEADLINE, AND IF THE VOTING DEADLINE IS NOT EXTENDED, THE BENEFICIAL HOLDERS' VOTES TRANSMITTED HEREBY WILL NOT COUNT AS AN ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN.

This master ballot (the “Master Ballot”) is to be used by you, as a broker, bank or other nominee, or as proxy holder or agent (each of the foregoing, a “Nominee”), for beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Stock1 (“Beneficial Owners”). This Master Ballot is being sent to Nominees for such Nominees to cast votes to accept or reject the Amended and Restated Prepackaged Joint Plan of Reorganization (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Plan”), which is being proposed by Capitol Bancorp Ltd. and Financial Commerce Corporation (collectively, the “Debtors”), on behalf of and in accordance with the ballots (the “Individual Ballots”) cast by the Beneficial Owners. The Plan is attached as Annex J to Supplement No. 1 (Class 2 – Trust Preferred Securities) (the “Disclosure Supplement”) to Confidential Out-of-Court Exchange Offering Memorandum and Solicitation of Consents and Disclosure Statement and Solicitation of Votes Related to an In-Court Standby Prepackaged Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement”). Subsequent to this solicitation, subject to certain conditions, the Debtors intend to commence cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan can be confirmed by the Court and thereby made binding upon you and the Beneficial Owners for which you are the Nominee if it is accepted by (i) the holders of two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of Claims and (ii) the holders of two-thirds in amount of Equity Security Interests, in each class that votes on the Plan, and if the Plan otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. If the requisite acceptances are not obtained, the Court may nonetheless confirm the Plan if it finds that the Plan provides fair and equitable treatment to, and does not discriminate unfairly against, the class or classes rejecting the Plan, and otherwise satisfies the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Beneficial Owners for which you are the Nominee should review the Offering Memorandum and Disclosure Statement, Disclosure Supplement and the Plan before voting. Such Beneficial Owners may wish to seek legal advice concerning the Plan and the classification and treatment of their claim or claims under the Plan. The Company’s Common Stock has been placed in Class 6 under the Plan. If Beneficial Owners hold more than one class of Equity Security Interest in the Debtors, they will receive a Ballot for each class of Equity Security Interest they are entitled to vote.

VOTING DEADLINE: 5:00 P.M., EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME, ON JULY 27, 2012.

1 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
