 Exhibit 10.1 

[FORM OF] 

WOLVERINE BANK, F.S.B. 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) by and between Wolverine Bank, F.S.B., whose principal offices are
located at 5710 Eastman Avenue, Midland, Michigan, 48640 (“Bank” or “Employer”) and David H. Dunn (“Executive”) is hereby amended and restated as of
                 , 2010 (the “Effective Date”). Any reference herein to the “Company” shall mean Wolverine Bancorp, Inc., the parent
holding company of the Bank. 
 WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank pursuant to an employment agreement
between the Bank and the Executive entered into as of June 1, 2009 (the “Original Agreement”); 
 WHEREAS, the
Bank has adopted a Plan of Conversion pursuant to which the Bank will convert to a federally chartered stock savings bank and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Conversion”); 

WHEREAS, the Bank desires to amend and restate the Original Agreement in order to comply with certain regulatory requirements and to
provide for certain provisions customarily provided in employment agreements of publicly traded financial institutions; and 

WHEREAS, the Executive has agreed to such changes. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided,
the Bank and the Executive hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. Employer employs Executive as President and Chief
Executive Officer, and Executive accepts employment, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Executive also agrees to serve, if appointed or elected, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Employer (the
“Board”), and as an officer and/or director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank or the Company. 
 2. Term
and Annual Renewal. 
 (a) The term of this Agreement will begin as of the Effective Date and will continue for thirty-six
(36) full calendar months thereafter. Commencing on the first anniversary date of the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Anniversary Date”) and continuing on each Anniversary Date thereafter, a majority of the members of the Board
who are not executive officers of the Bank may extend the term of this Agreement for an additional year such that the remaining term shall be thirty-six (36) months, unless written notice of non-renewal is provided to Executive at least thirty
(30) days prior to any such Anniversary Date, in which case the term of this Agreement will become fixed and will terminate at the end of the twenty-four (24) months following such Anniversary Date. Prior to each Anniversary Date, the
members of the Board 
  

 1 








 
who are not executive officers of the Bank will conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and review of Executive for purposes of determining whether to extend this Agreement, and the
results thereof will be included in the minutes of the Board’s meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that at any time prior to the Anniversary Date the Company or the Bank has entered into an agreement to effect a transaction
which would be considered a Change in Control under Section 10(a) hereof, then the term of this Agreement shall be extended and shall terminate thirty-six (36) months following the date on which the Change in Control occurs. 

(b) Continued Employment Following Expiration of Term. Nothing in this Agreement shall mandate or prohibit a continuation of
Executive’s employment following the expiration of the term of this Agreement, upon such terms and conditions as the Bank and Executive may mutually agree. 

3. Duties. Employer shall employ the Executive to be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Employer and as such,
Executive shall perform services the same as, or generally consistent with, the services generally and customarily performed by a President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall, subject at all times to the control of the Board of Directors
of the Employer, supervise and control all of the business and affairs of the Employer and shall have authority, unless determined otherwise by the Board of Directors and if not prohibited by Employer’s Articles of Incorporation or its Bylaws,
to perform all acts, execute and deliver all documents related to the Employer, and take all steps Executive may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate the actions and policies of the Board of Directors of the Employer. 

4. Extent of Service. Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time, attention and energies, as well as
Executive’s best talents and abilities, to the business of the Employer in accordance with Employer’s instructions and directions and shall not, during the term of this Agreement, be engaged in any other employment for any other employer.

 5. Compensation. 

(a) For all services rendered by Executive under this Agreement (including services as an officer, Executive, Director or member of any
Board committee), Employer agrees to pay Executive an annual salary (“Base Salary”) of $                     per year from the
Effective Date, payable according to the Employer’s regular pay practices, with subsequent annual Base Salary increases, if any, based on an annual review by Employer’s Board of Directors. 

At approximately annual intervals during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year of the Bank during the term of this Agreement, the Board
will review, or will cause to be reviewed, the Base Salary payable to the Executive, giving attention to all factors that the Board deems pertinent, including, without limitation, any recommendations of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the
Board, the performance of the Bank, the performance of the Executive and the compensation practices inside and outside of the Bank. The Board will, after such annual review, determine the Base Salary to be paid until the completion of the next
annual review, but such new Base Salary will not be less than the Base Salary as of the Effective Date. The Base Salary will be paid to the Executive in accordance with the Bank’s usual and customary payroll practices applicable to its
Executives generally. 
  

 2 








 (b) In addition, the Employer may, annually, in its discretion after a review by the
Employer of Executive’s performance for the year under review, pay the Executive a bonus in addition to the Executive’s Base Salary. The payment of a bonus is not required under the terms of this provision of the Agreement, but if a bonus
is awarded to the Executive the payment thereof shall be made within sixty (60) days of the determination to award a bonus. The bonus payment, if any, shall not be construed as an increase in Executive’s Base Salary. 

(c) Taxes and Other Amounts. All taxes (other than the Bank’s portion of FICA taxes) on the Base Salary and other amounts
payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any plan or program will be paid by the Executive. The Bank will be entitled to withhold from the Base Salary and all other amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any
plan or program (i) applicable withholding taxes, and (ii) such other amounts as may be authorized by the Executive in writing, 

6. Executive Benefits. 

(a) Executive shall be entitled to participate in any life insurance, disability, medical, hospital, health or dental insurance, or other
bonus, incentive, profit sharing, stock option, retirement or other Executive benefit plans of the employer, whether contributory or non-contributory, as may from time to time be uniformly maintained by Employer for its salaried Executives during
the term of employment under this Agreement. 
 (b) Employer will reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary business
expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties under this Agreement upon the presentation by Executive to Employer, from time to time, of an itemized account of such expenditures, including receipts where appropriate. Such reimbursements
shall be paid promptly by the Bank and in any event not later than March 15 of the year immediately following the end of the calendar year in which the Executive incurred such expense. 

(c) Employer shall provide the Executive with an automobile and reimburse Executive for substantiated expenses for the automobile.
Executive shall comply with reasonable reporting and expense limitations on the use of such automobile as may be established by the Bank from time to time, and the Bank shall annually include on Executive’s Form W-2 any amount of income
attributable to Executive’s personal use of such automobile. Such reimbursements shall be paid promptly by the Bank and in any event not later than March 15 of the year immediately following the end of the calendar year in which the
Executive incurred such expense. 
 (d) Employer shall provide Executive with membership in the Midland Country Club and will
reimburse Executive for substantiated business expenses related to such membership. Such reimbursements shall be paid promptly by the Bank and in any event not later than March 15 of the year immediately following the end of the calendar year
in which the Executive incurred such expense.

 7. Early Termination. Subject to the continuing obligations of the parties set forth
in this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Bank may be terminated during the term of this Agreement in any of the following ways: 

(a) Executive’s death or disability will terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement “disability” shall be
defined as the Executive being unable to perform (in the judgment of the Employer evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by a majority of its Board of Directors) any substantial duty to Employer as set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of this
Agreement, by reason of illness, disability, incapacity or other inability, for a period of more than six (6) months; 

(b) Upon the mutual agreement of the Employer or Executive; 

(c) Employer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time for “Cause.” Termination for Cause shall mean
termination because of, in the good faith determination of the Board, Executive’s: 
  

	 	(i)	material act of dishonesty in performing Executive’s duties on behalf of the Bank or incompetence in the performance of such duties; 


 

	 	(ii)	willful misconduct that in the judgment of the Board will likely cause economic damage to the Bank or injury to the business reputation of the Bank;


  

	 	(iii)	breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; 

  

	 	(iv)	intentional failure to perform stated duties under this Agreement after written notice thereof from the Board; 


 

	 	(v)	willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) that reflect adversely on the reputation of the Bank, any felony
conviction, any violation of law involving moral turpitude, or any violation of a final cease-and-desist order; 

  

	 	(vi)	material breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(vii)	gross negligence in the performance of the Executive’s duties. 


(d) By the Employer without Cause provided the Employer shall give Executive thirty (30) days advance written notice of the
Executive’s termination; 
 (e) The Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment under this Agreement for
Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such Good Reason; provided, however, the Executive must provide the Employer with written notice of such Good Reason and provide the Employer a period of at least
thirty (30) days to cure the event giving rise to Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” means; 
  

	 	(i)	A material diminution in the Executive’s Base Salary; or 

  

	 	(ii)	A material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement; or 


 

 4 









	 	(iii)	A material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform services under this Agreement; or 


 

	 	(iv)	Any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Employer of this Agreement; 


(f) Executive may terminate this Agreement without Good Reason provided Executive provides Employer with a ninety (90) day advance
written notice of such termination. 
 8. Employer’s Obligations. In the event the Employer terminates
Executive’s employment without Cause under Section 7(d) above or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason under Section 7(e) above, the Employer shall do the following: 

(a) Continue Executive’s then Base Salary, minus appropriate withholdings, which shall include, without limitation, FICA and
federal, state and local taxes (“Base Salary Payment”), for a period of thirty-six (36) months following such termination, with such payments made on the same day or days of the month that such payments were made prior to termination
of employment in the ordinary course. Thereafter, the Employer shall not be responsible to the Executive for any additional Base Salary Payment. Employer’s obligation to pay the Base Salary Payments shall be conditioned upon: (i) Executive
executing a Separation and Release Agreement in the form approved by the Board; and (ii) Executive compliance with all the obligations set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement. 

In the event the Executive becomes employed by a third party or by the Employer at any time within the thirty-six (36) month period
referenced in this Section 8 of this Agreement and if the salary received by the Executive from the third party or from the Employer is equal to or greater than Executive’s then Base Salary Payment, the Base Salary Payments shall
terminate. If, however, the salary received by the Executive from the third party or from the Employer is less than the then Base Salary Payment, the Employer shall pay to the Executive the difference between the Base Salary Payment and the salary
received from the third party or from the Employer, less appropriate withholdings, which shall include, without limitation FICA and federal, state and local taxes. During the period of time Employer pays any remaining portion of Executive’s
Base Salary Payment, the Employer reserves, upon reasonable notice to the Executive and for reasonable periods of time, the right to call upon the Executive for consultation and advice regarding the Employer’s business. It is further understood
between the parties that, unless Executive is employed by the Employer, any Base Salary Payment or portion of Base Salary Payment that Executive may receive during this period of time shall not be counted toward any accrual of any pension, deferred
compensation and/or annuity plans that Executive is or may be entitled to. 
 (b) So long as the Executive is being paid all or
a remaining portion of the Base Salary Payment, the Employer, if appropriate under applicable law, shall continue to provide the Executive with the equivalent of all of the remaining employment benefits the Executive was entitled to receive prior to
the time of Executive’s termination as permitted by applicable law and provisions of any benefit Plan, including, but not limited to, non-taxable health and non-taxable dental insurance, and benefits of any other fringe benefit plans in effect
at the time of Executive’s Termination. If such payments are prohibited under applicable law, including the benefits that 

 

 5 








 
would have accrued on the Executive’s behalf under the employee stock ownership plan and 401(k) Plan (with the amount of benefits determined by reference to the benefits accrued on his
behalf under such retirement programs during the twelve months preceding his termination of employment), the Employer shall continue to pay such amounts to the Executive at the same time and for the same term that the Base Salary Payments are made.
In addition, during the term the Executive is receiving Base Salary Payments, he shall continue to vest in any stock option or restricted stock award previously granted to the Executive notwithstanding the terms of any stock option or restricted
stock award agreement or equity incentive plan. 
 9. Termination and Board Membership. To the extent Executive is a
member of the Board on the date of termination of employment with the Bank (other than a termination in connection with a Change in Control), Executive will resign from the Board immediately following such termination of employment with the Bank.
Executive will be obligated to tender this resignation regardless of the method or manner of termination (other than termination in connection with a Change in Control), and such resignation will not be conditioned upon any event or payment.

 10. Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. 

(a) Change in Control Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means any of the following events:

  

	 	(i)	Merger: The Company or the Bank merges into or consolidates with another entity, or merges another bank or corporation into the Bank or the Company, and as a
result, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company or the Bank immediately before the merger or consolidation;


  

	 	(ii)	Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership: There is filed, or is required to be filed, a report on Schedule 13D or another form or schedule (other than Schedule
13G) required under Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if the schedule discloses that the filing person or persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of the
Company’s or the Bank’s voting securities; 

  

	 	(iii)	Change in Board Composition: During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors at
the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (iii), each director who is nominated by the
board by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of such period; or 


 

	 	(iv)	Sale of Assets: The Company or the Bank sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets. 


 

 6 








 (b) Termination. If within the period ending one year after a Change in Control,
(i) the Bank terminates Executive’s employment Without Cause, or (ii) Executive voluntarily terminates his employment With Good Reason, the Bank will, within ten (10) calendar days of the termination of Executive’s
employment, make a lump-sum cash payment to Executive equal to the sum of three (3) times (i) Executive’s current Base Salary, and (ii) the amount of benefits that accrued on the Executive’s behalf under the employee stock
ownership plan and 401(k) Plan (with the amount of benefits determined by reference to the benefits accrued on his behalf under such retirement programs during the twelve months preceding his termination of employment). In addition, the Bank will
cause to be continued for a period of three (3) years following such termination, life insurance and non-taxable medical and dental coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Bank for Executive prior to his termination,
at no cost to the Executive, provided, however, that if earlier, such medical and dental coverage shall cease on the date Executive becomes eligible for Medicare coverage unless Executive is covered by family coverage or coverage for self and a
spouse, in which case Executive’s family or spouse shall continue to be covered for the remainder of the three (3) year period. In addition, the Executive shall receive three years of vesting credit under any stock option or restricted
stock award granted to the Executive notwithstanding the terms of any stock option or restricted stock award agreement or equity incentive plan. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event a benefit is payable under this Section 10(b), no benefit will be
payable under Section 8 of this Agreement. 
 (c) 280G Cutback. Notwithstanding Section 10(b) above, in no
event shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive (the “Termination Benefits”) constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
(the “Code”) or any successor thereto, and to avoid such a result, the cash severance will be reduced by the minimum extent necessary in order for the value of the Termination Benefits to equal one dollar ($1.00) less than three
(3) times Executive’s “base amount,” as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code. 
 11.
Nondisclosure/Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation by Executive. 
 (a) Nondisclosure/Confidential Information.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that certain information obtained while employed by the Employer is confidential, and, is important to Employer and to the effective operation of Employer’s business. Executive, therefore, agrees that while
employed by the Employer, and at any time afterwards, he will make no disclosure of any kind, directly or indirectly, concerning any confidential information relating to Employer or any of its activities. 

(b) Non-Competition. Executive further agrees that at all times while the Executive is employed by the Bank and during that period
of time when Executive is receiving a Base Salary Payment from the Employer and for a period of or thirty-six (36) months after the termination of his employment or the expiration of this Agreement or the expiration of that period of time when
Executive is receiving a Base Salary Payment from the Employer, whichever is later, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, or individually or together with any other person, as owner, shareholder, investor, member, partner, proprietor,
principal, director, officer, Executive, manager, agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise, engage or 

 

 7 








 
participate in any business that is in competition in any manner with the business of the Employer in any county in which the Employer has an office, without the written permission of the
Chairperson of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sections 11(b) and 11(c) shall not be applicable on the event of a termination of employment within 12 months following a Change in Control. 

(c) Non-Solicitation. The Executive hereby understands, acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of his position with the Bank, the
Executive has and will have advantageous familiarity and personal contacts with the customers, wherever located, of the Bank and has and will have advantageous familiarity with the business, operations and affairs of the Bank. In addition, the
Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that the business of the Bank is highly competitive. Accordingly, at all times while the Executive is employed by the Bank and during that period of time when Executive is receiving a Base Salary
Payment from the Employer and for a period of thirty-six (36) months after the termination of his employment or the expiration of this Agreement or the expiration of that period of time when Executive is receiving a Base Salary Payment from the
Employer, whichever is later, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, or individually or together with any other person, as owner, shareholder, investor, member, partner, proprietor, principal, director, officer, Executive, manager, agent,
representative, independent contractor, consultant or otherwise: 
  

	 	(i)	Solicit in any manner, seek to obtain or service any business of any person who is or was a customer or an active prospective customer of the Bank during the one-year
period prior to the termination of Executive’s employment; or 

  

	 	(ii)	Request or advise any customer, supplier, vendor or others who were doing business with the Bank during the one-year period prior to the termination of Executive’s
employment, or any other person, to terminate, reduce, limit or change their business or relationship with the Bank; or 

  

	 	(iii)	Induce, request or attempt to influence any Executive of the Bank who was employed by the Bank during the two-year period prior to the termination of Executive’s
employment, to terminate his or her employment with the Bank. 

 (d) Remedies. Executive acknowledges and
agrees that his obligations under this Section 11 are of a special and unique nature and that a failure to perform any such obligation or a violation of any such obligation would cause irreparable harm to the Employers, the amount of which
cannot be accurately compensated for in damages by an action at law. In the event of a breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this Section 11, the Bank shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from such breach.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available for any breach of this Agreement. 

(e) Enforceability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any provision of this Section is found by a court of
competent Jurisdiction to exceed the time, geographic or other restrictions permitted by applicable law, then such court will have the power to reduce, limit or reform (but not to increase or make greater) such provision to make it enforceable to
the maximum extent permitted by law, and such provision will then be enforceable against the Executive in its reduced, limited or reformed manner. In addition, the parties agree that in the event that any of the provisions of this Section are
determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable they will be severable in accordance with Section 20. 
  

 8 








 12. Required Regulatory Provisions. 

(a) If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a
notice served under Section 8(e)(3) (12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. §1818(g)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless
stayed in appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion (i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in
whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended. 
 (b) If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) (12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(4)) or 8(g)(1) (12 U.S.C. §1818(g)(1)) of the Federal Deposit insurance Act, all obligations of the Bank under this
Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected. 

(c) If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) (12 U.S.C. §1818(x)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, all
obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. 

(d) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the contract is
necessary for the continued operation of the Bank, (i) by the Director of the OTS or his or her designee, at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in
Section 13(c) (12 U.S.C. §1823(c)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or (ii) by the Director or his or her designee at the time the Director or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to
operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, any payments to Executive by the Bank, whether pursuant to this Agreement
or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k), and the regulations promulgated thereunder in 12 C.F.R. Part 359. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Executive’s employment shall not be deemed to have been terminated unless and
until the Executive has a Separation from Service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Separation from Service” shall have occurred if the Bank and Executive reasonably anticipate that
either no further services will be performed by the Executive after the date of the termination (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) or the level of further services 

 

 9 








 
performed will be less than 50% of the average level of bona fide services in the thirty-six (36) months immediately preceding the termination. For all purposes hereunder, the definition of
Separation from Service shall be interpreted consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii). If Executive is a “Specified Employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A and any payment to be made under this Agreement
shall be determined to be subject to Code Section 409A, then if required by Code Section 409A, such payment or a portion of such payment (to the minimum extent possible) shall be delayed and shall be paid on the first day of the seventh
month following Executive’s Separation from Service. 
 13. Survival of Certain Provisions. Upon any termination of
the Executive’s employment with the Bank or the termination of this Agreement, other than within 12 months following a Change in Control, the Executive and Bank hereby expressly agree that the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement will
continue to be in full force and effect and binding upon the Executive in accordance with the provisions of Section 9. 

14. Additional Terms. Additional terms and conditions of Executive’s employment with the Employer may be agreed upon and must
be in writing and signed by Executive and the Chairperson of the Board; provided, however, that such additional terms and conditions as may be agreed to shall not modify the terms and conditions herein unless specifically referenced as a
modification of an existing term or condition. 
 15. Notices. Any notice given under this Agreement to either party
shall be made in writing. Any such notice shall be deemed to be given when mailed to any such party by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below, or at such other addresses as such party may
designate (by written notice given to the other party) as their respective address for purposes of notice:

16. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 17. Assignment. The rights and obligations of Employer under this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of Employer, but Employer shall not assign this Agreement without Executive’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
rights and obligations of Executive under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit only of the Executive and may not be assigned to any successors or assigns of the Executive.

20. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such determination shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 

21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and no previous representations, inducements,
promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise, shall be of any force or effect, including the employment agreement entered into between the Bank and the Executive, dated June 1, 2009. No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid
