 EXHIBIT 10.6 
 CONFIDENTIAL 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of December 31, 2010, by and between Monarch Bank, a Virginia banking
company (the “Company”), and Edward O. Yoder (the “Officer”). 
 The parties, intending to be legally bound,
agree as follows: 
 1. Employment and Acceptance. The Officer shall be employed and have the title
“President, Monarch Mortgage.” The Officer shall have duties, title, and responsibilities as may be reasonably assigned to him or modified from time to time by the Company, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
The Officer hereby accepts and agrees to such employment and agrees to carry out his duties and responsibilities to the best of his ability in a competent, efficient and businesslike manner. During the term of this Agreement, the Officer:
(i) shall devote his attention, skill, and efforts full-time to the faithful performance of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that from time to time with the prior approval of the Company, the Officer may serve on the boards of directors
of, and hold any other offices or positions in, non-profit organizations which will not present any conflict of interest with the Company, unfavorably affect the performance of Officer’s duties pursuant to this Agreement or violate any
applicable statute or regulation; and (ii) shall not engage in any business or activity competitive with or antagonistic toward the business interests of the Company. 
 2. Term of Employment. This Agreement is effective December 31, 2010 (the “Commencement Date”) and will expire on December 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated as provided
herein (the “Employment Period”). The last day of the Employment Period is sometimes referred to as the “Expiration Date.” The term of this agreement shall automatically extend for an additional 24-month period beginning on the
day after the Expiration Date, and on each Expiration Date thereafter, provided that the term shall not so extend if the Company provides written notice to the Officer at least 12 months prior to the Expiration Date indicating the Company’s
desire not to extend the term of the agreement. The parties expressly agree that the provisions of Section 5 hereof will continue in effect following the expiration of the Agreement, or any extensions thereof. 

3. Compensation and Benefits. 
 (a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Officer an annual base salary (the “Base Salary”), which will be payable in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company applicable to
all officers. The Base Salary will be that salary in effect on December 31, 2010 and continue at a minimum of that amount for the term of this employment agreement. 
 (b) Benefits. The Officer will be entitled to participate in and receive the benefits of any retirement benefit plan, life insurance, profit sharing, employee stock ownership, and other plans,
benefits and privileges of the Company that may be in effect from time to time, to the extent the Officer is eligible under the terms of those plans and programs. 
 (c) Incentive Compensation Clawback and Repayment. Any incentive compensation the Officer receives, to be established by individual or group bonus programs from time to time, or through this
agreement, may be required to be repaid under the Company’s clawback provisions. If the Company is required to restate its financial statements because of material noncompliance with any 

  
 1 

 
financial reporting requirement under securities laws, the Company is required to recover from any current or former executive officer who received incentive-based compensation, including
restricted stock, during the three year period preceding the date on which the restatement is required, any amount in excess of the amounts that would have been paid to the Officer under the Company’s restated financial statements. The excess
portion of the incentive payout is defined as the difference between the actual payout under the original financials and the amount payable under the restated financials. The excess portion will be repaid regardless of the Officers knowledge or
approval of the original financial reporting rules and standards followed to produce the originally stated financial statements. 
 (d) Business Expenses. The Company will reimburse Officer or otherwise provide for or pay for all reasonable expenses incurred by Officer in furtherance of, or in connection with, the business of
the Company, including, but not by way of limitation, travel expenses, club fees and dues, and memberships in professional organizations. The Company will reimburse Officer for spousal travel expenses related to business functions attended by
Officer and spouse. All business expenses are subject to such reasonable documentation and other limitations as may be established from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(e) Automobile. The Company may also provide the Officer with an appropriate monthly automobile allowance, at the discretion of
the Chief Executive Officer. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, an Officer may be provided with an appropriate automobile, and if so the Company will cover all costs associated with the operation of that automobile, including insurance,
maintenance, and fuel. 
 (f) Paid Time Off. The Officer will be entitled to paid time off per year, based on the
Company’s standard schedule, to be taken at such times and intervals as shall be determined by the Officer, with the approval of their supervisor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Due to the demands of the position up to five
days of paid time off may be carried over from one calendar year into the next year. 
 (g) Additional Mortgage Officer
Benefits. The Officer will be entitled to receive the additional benefits described in Addendum A hereto. 
 4.
Termination and Termination Benefits. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2, the Officer’s employment hereunder shall terminate, but not his restrictions on competition and solicitation, which shall survive any termination,
except a termination based on death or disability, under the following circumstances and shall be subject to the following provisions: 
 (a) Death. If the Officer dies while employed by the Company during the terms of this contract, the Company will continue to pay an amount equal to the Officer’s then current Base Salary to
the Officer’s spouse or other designated beneficiary for six calendar months after the Officer’s death, with such payments to be made on the same periodic dates as salary payments would have been made to the Officer had he not died.

 (b) Disability. The Officer’s employment hereunder may be terminated at any time because of the Officer’s

 2 

 
receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall
determine whether a Participant has incurred a Disability and its determination shall be binding for purposes of this Plan. Notwithstanding termination under this subsection, Officer shall be eligible for participation in the Company’s
long-term disability policy subject to its terms. The Company shall provide continued welfare plan benefits in the Company’s health and welfare plans for the benefit of the Officer for a period of twelve months after the date of such
termination subject to his eligibility under the provisions of the then-current plan. 
 (c) Termination by the Company for
Cause. The Officer’s employment may be terminated at any time without further liability on the part of the Company effective immediately by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors of the Company for Cause by written notice to the
Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause: 
 (i) Continued failure by the Officer for reasons other
than Disability to follow reasonable instructions of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or policies of the Board of Directors of the Company after being advised in writing of such failure, including specific actions or inaction on the part
of the Officer and the particular instruction or policy involved, and if both reasonable and feasible, being given a reasonable opportunity and period (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) to remedy such failure; 

(ii) Conviction of a felony or any crime of moral turpitude; 
 (iii) Commission of an act of embezzlement or fraud against the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof;

indirectly: (i) solicit, induce, attempt to solicit or induce, or accept the competitive business of any customer or client of the Company or its Affiliates with whom the Officer had contact or about whom or which Officer learned of or received
proprietary information as a result of his employment with the Company, to terminate, diminish, or materially alter in a manner harmful to the Company the relationship of such customer or client with the Company or its Affiliates; (ii) solicit,
induce, encourage, or participate in soliciting, inducing, or encouraging any employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates; or (iii) hire, employ, or engage in business with or attempt to hire, employ,

(c) Survival of Restrictive Covenants. Excepting only a termination by the Company for the Officer’s death or Disability, the
provisions of subsections 5(a) and (b) shall survive any expiration or termination hereof, regardless of which party initiated the termination or the cause or reason, if any, thereof.

connection with the termination of the Officer’s employment after the Expiration Date. 
 (f) Confidentiality.
During the Employment Period and thereafter, and except as required by any court, supervisory authority or administrative agency or as may be otherwise required by applicable law, the Officer shall not, without the written consent of a person duly
authorized by the Company, disclose to any person (other than his personal attorney, or an officer of the Company or an Affiliate, or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the
Officer of his duties as an employee of the Company) or utilize in conducting a business any confidential information obtained by him while in the employ of the Company, unless such information has become a matter of public knowledge at the time of

Company’s Confidential Business Information shall be deemed as Trade Secrets as defined under the Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act as set forth in Va. Code Ann. §§ 59.1-336. 

(g) Reasonableness of Restrictions. Officer and the Company have examined in detail these restrictive covenants and agree that the
restraints imposed on Officer are reasonable in light of the legitimate interests of Officer and the Company, and it will not have an unduly adverse impact on Officer’s ability to earn a livelihood. Officer expressly agrees that the definition
of Competitive Business included herein is an accurate description of the Company’s business activities. Officer agrees that if suit is brought to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, a previous breach by the Company
of the Agreement shall not serve as a defense to the suit or any requested relief. 
 6. Regulatory Provisions.

 (a) If Officer is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of Company’s affairs by a
notice served under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or any Virginia State or Federal Regulatory Order, Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service. If the charges in the notice are dismissed,

Officer’s vested rights shall not be affected. 
 (c ) If Company is in default as defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance

the Officer. 
 7. Assignability. The Company shall assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in
whole, but not in part, to any corporation, company or other entity with or into which the Company may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Company may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said corporation,
company or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Company hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto. The Officer may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights
or obligations hereunder. 
 8. Notices. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth

Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify the Officer (and his heirs, executors, and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and regulations against any and all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred
by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of the Company or any subsidiary of it (whether or not he continues to be a director or
officer at the time of incurring any such expenses or liabilities) such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs, and attorney’s fees and the cost of reasonable settlements, such settlements to be
approved by the Board, if such action is brought against the Officer in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Indemnification for expense shall not extend to matters for which the Officer has been
terminated for Cause. Nothing contained herein shall 

  
 6 

 
be deemed to provide indemnification prohibited by applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of this Section 8 shall survive the term of
this Agreement by a period of seven years. 
 10. Costs of Enforcement. Should either party find it necessary to seek
enforcement of any provision hereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to his or its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, up to a maximum of $30,000. 

11. Restrictive Covenants of the Essence. The restrictive covenants on the Officer set forth herein are of the essence of this
Agreement; they shall be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of the Officer against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or not, shall not constitute a defense
to the enforcement by the Company of the restrictive covenants contained herein. 
 12. Injunctive Relief. 

(a) Irreparable Injury. The Company and Officer agree that due to the Officer’s lengthy and extensive knowledge of the
financial industry in his or her respective market and of the Company in particular, he would be an especially effective competitor and that irreparable injury will result to the Company in the event Officer violates any obligation contained in
Section 5 of this Agreement. Officer acknowledges that the remedies at law for any breach by Officer of such provisions will be inadequate and that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against Officer, in addition to any other
remedy that is available. 
 (b) No Injunction Bond. Officer agrees that should injunctive relief be sought to restrain
such violation(s) by Officer and/or others acting in concert or participating with Officer, such relief will not require the posting of an injunction bond. 
 (c) Injunction Measured from Date of Entry. Officer agrees that the confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation obligations contained herein shall be extended by the length of time which
Officer shall have been in breach of any of said provisions. Accordingly, Officer recognizes that the time periods included in the restrictive covenants contained herein shall begin on the date a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order
enjoining Officer from violating such provisions. 
 13. Amendment / Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be
modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Officer and such officer or officers as may be specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Company to sign on their
behalf. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar
provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 
 14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and no agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party
which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior employment agreements between the Company and the Officer. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company” includes any parent or
subsidiaries of the Company, including Affiliates, any of which shall be awarded to the protections of Section 5 hereof to the same extent as the Company. 

  
 7 

 15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and specifically the City of Chesapeake. 
 16. Nature of Obligations.
Nothing contained herein shall create or require the Company to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be payable hereunder, and to the extent that the Officer acquires a right to receive benefits from the Company hereunder, such
right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. 
 17. Headings. The Section
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 18. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in
full force and effect. It is the intention of the parties that the provisions of the restrictive covenants herein shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the applicable law. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is held
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof, then the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision of this Agreement which is illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added, as part of this Agreement, a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and as may be legal, valid and enforceable.

 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed as of the date first above written.

 ADDENDUM A to 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Addendum A pertains to the Employment Agreement
(“Agreement”) by and between Monarch Bank, a Virginia banking company (the “Company”), and Edward O. Yoder (the “Officer”). All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to those
terms in the Agreement. 
 In addition to the benefits described in the Agreement, Officer shall be entitled to the following:

 1. Profit Bonus. For each quarterly period that Officer is employed by Monarch Mortgage pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Agreement, Officer will receive a percentage of the quarterly pre-tax profit of Monarch Mortgage (the “Profit Bonus”) to distribute to Officers, including himself, as appropriate. For purposes of this section, the total
Profit Bonus pool shall equal twenty-five (25%) percent of the quarterly net book income before taxes of Monarch Mortgage based on its historical accounting practices and internal financial reports consistently and reasonably computed and
“Monarch Mortgage” shall mean the assets, business and activities of the residential mortgage lending division of Monarch Mortgage, together with the functionally related assets of Monarch Mortgage regardless of the specific entity that
legally owns or conducts such assets, business or activities; provided, however, that Monarch Mortgage shall not include any nonresidential or non-retail mortgage lending activities that Monarch Mortgage, acting in good faith and upon prior notice
to Officer, determines cannot be efficiently conducted through Monarch Mortgage. The Profit Bonus shall be payable with respect to Monarch Mortgage’s pre-tax profit during the fiscal quarters ending
March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Any Profit Bonus to which Officer is entitled shall be paid by the day that is 45 days following the end of the quarter for which the Profit Bonus was earned. In

  
 10 

 
the event that, during any quarterly period, Monarch Mortgage suffers a pre-tax loss, then the amount of such pre-tax loss shall be carried forward into one or more subsequent quarterly periods
such that (i) the pre-tax losses shall be credited against (i.e. subtracted from) subsequent quarterly pre-tax profits for purposes of determining whether a Profit Bonus is payable for any subsequent quarters and the amount of such Profit Bonus
and (ii) no Profit Bonus shall be payable to Officer during any calendar year if, as of the end of any given quarter during the year, Monarch Mortgage has suffered a net pre-tax loss on a year to date basis. Officer, subject to the approval of
the Monarch Bank’s CEO, shall determine on a quarterly basis (i) which Officers, including himself, of Monarch Mortgage will be entitled to the Profit Bonus; and (ii) what portion, if any, of the pre-tax profit pool each eligible
Officer will receive. It is the intent of the parties that Officer shall not in any quarter award more than half of the entire Profit Bonus Pool to himself. 
 2. Spread Income Bonus. Officer shall be entitled to receive a percentage of the quarterly spread income bonus equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the spread income of Monarch Mortgage, as the
term is defined herein (“Spread Income Bonus”) to distribute to Officers, including himself, as appropriate. The Spread Income Bonus shall be payable with respect to Monarch Mortgage’s spread income for each of Monarch Mortgage’s
fiscal quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, subject to the approval of the Monarch Bank’s CEO, shall determine on a quarterly basis (i) which Officers, including himself, of
Monarch Mortgage will be entitled to the Spread Income Bonus; and (ii) what portion, if any, of the Spread Income pool each eligible Officer will receive. Any Spread Income Bonus due shall be paid to Officer within 45 days following the end of
the quarter for which the Spread Income Bonus is earned. For purposes of this Agreement, “Spread Income” shall mean the income earned by Monarch Mortgage from the time Monarch Mortgage’s loans close until the time such loans are sold
to third party investors, as determined by the excess of 

  
 11 

 
the interest rate earned by Monarch Mortgage on such loans over Monarch Mortgage’s cost of funds. Monarch Mortgage’s cost of funds shall be determined by Monarch Bank in good faith
based on its actual cost of funds designated to support Monarch Mortgage’s funding activity with the addition of a reasonable overhead factor. 
 3. Commissions. Officer shall be entitled to commissions up to 65 basis points of his personal production as determined by Monarch Bank’s Chief Executive Officer. 

4. Payments of Bonus Upon Termination Without Cause. In the event that Officer’s employment under the Agreement is terminated
without Cause, then a partial quarter Profit Bonus and Spread Income Bonus shall be payable based on Monarch Mortgage’s pre-tax profit and Spread Income for the period beginning on the first day of the quarter in which Office r is employed and
ending on the date of such termination. Any partial quarter Profit Bonus or Spread Income Bonus shall be payable by the day that is forty-five (45) days after the end of the quarter in which termination occurs and shall be calculated in
accordance with the provisions of this Addendum as described above.

 EXHIBIT 10.7 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT 
 This Change in Control Agreement
(“Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2010, is between Monarch Bank, a Virginia state chartered bank (“Company”), and Edward O. Yoder (“Officer”) and provides as follows. 

1. Purpose 
 Company recognizes that the possibility of a “Change in Control” as defined in Section 13 exists, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management may result in the
departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, the purpose of this Agreement is to encourage Officer to continue employment after a Change in Control by providing reasonable employment
security to Officer and to recognize the prior service of Officer in the event of a termination of employment under certain circumstances after a Change in Control. 
 2. Term of the Agreement 
 This Agreement is effective
December 31, 2010 and will expire on December 31, 2012; provided that on December 31, 2011 and on each December 31st thereafter (each such December 31st is referred to as the “Renewal Date”), this Agreement will be automatically extended for an additional
calendar year so as to terminate two years from such Renewal Date. This Agreement will not, however, be extended if Company gives written notice of such non-renewal to Officer no later than 90 days before the Renewal Date (the original and any
extended term of this Agreement is referred to as the “Change in Control Period”). 
 3. Employment after a Change
in Control 
 If a Change in Control of Company occurs during the Change in Control Period and Officer is employed by
Company on the date the Change in Control occurs (the “Change in Control Date”), Company will continue to employ Officer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the period beginning on the Change in Control Date
and ending on the third anniversary of such date (the “Employment Period”). If a Change in Control occurs on account of a series of transactions, the Change in Control Date is the date of the last of such transactions. 

4. Terms of Employment 
 (a) Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, (i) Officer’s position, authority, duties and responsibilities will be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most
significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the six month period immediately preceding the Change in Control Date and (ii) Officer’s services will be performed at the location where Officer was employed immediately
preceding the Change in Control Date or any office that is the headquarters of the Company and is less than 35 miles from such location. 

 (b) Compensation. 

(i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Officer will receive an annual base salary (the “Annual Base Salary”) at
least equal to the base salary paid or payable to Officer by Company and its affiliated companies for the twelve-month period immediately preceding the Change of Control Date. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary will be reviewed at
least annually and will be increased at any time and from time to time as will be substantially consistent with increases in base salary generally awarded in the ordinary course of business to other peer Officers of Company and its affiliated
companies. Any increase in the Annual Base Salary will not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to Officer under this Agreement. The Annual Base Salary will not be reduced after any such increase, and the term Annual Base Salary as used in
this Agreement will refer to the Annual Base Salary as so increased. The term “affiliated companies” includes any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with Company. 

(ii) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Employment Period, Officer will be entitled to participate in all
incentive (including stock incentive), savings and retirement, insurance plans, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer Officers of Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event will such plans, policies and programs provide
Officer with incentive opportunities, savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided by Company and its affiliated companies for Officer under such plans, policies and
programs as in effect at any time during the six months immediately preceding the Change in Control Date. 
 (iii) Welfare
Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, Officer and/or Officer’s family, as the case may be, will be eligible for participation in and will receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, policies and programs provided by Company and
its affiliated companies to the extent applicable generally to other peer Officers of Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event will such plans, policies and programs provide Officer with benefits that are less favorable, in the
aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, policies and programs in effect at any time during the six months immediately preceding the Change in Control Date.

 5. Termination of Employment Following Change in Control 

(a) Death or Disability. If Officer dies or incurs a Disability (as determined by the Administrator) during the Employment Period,
then Officer or his designated beneficiary shall receive benefits detailed in Section 7. For purposes of this Agreement, Disability is defined as a condition where the Officer (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 6 months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under an accident and
health plan covering employees of the Company. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a Participant has incurred a Disability and its determination shall be binding for purposes of this Plan. The Company shall provide continued
medical insurance in the Company’s health plan for the benefit of the Officer for a period of twelve months after the date of such termination subject to his eligibility under the provisions of the then-current plan. 

(b) Termination by the Company for Cause. The Officer’s employment may be terminated at any time without further liability on
the part of the Company effective immediately by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors of the Company for Cause by written notice to the Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such Cause: 

(i) Continued failure by the Officer for reasons other than Disability to follow reasonable instructions of the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company or policies of the Board of Directors of the Company after being advised in writing of such failure, including specific actions or inaction on the part of the Officer and the particular instruction or policy involved, and if both
reasonable and feasible, being given a reasonable opportunity and period (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) to remedy such failure; 
 (ii) Conviction of a felony or any crime of moral turpitude; 
 (iii) Commission of
an act of embezzlement or fraud against the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof; 
 (iv) Any act or omission
constituting dishonesty of the Officer with respect to the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof; and/or 
 (v) Any
other willful or reckless conduct which substantially harms the reputation and/or interest of the Company, any subsidiary or Affiliate, and/or its/or their directors, officers or employees. 

  
 3 

 (c) Termination by Company Without Cause. In the event that the Company
terminates Officer’s employment during the Employment Period for any reason that does not constitute Cause, as determined by the Administrator, Officer shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations, Salary Continuance Benefit, and
Welfare Continuance Benefit under the terms defined in Section 6. For purposes of this subsection, the determination of whether a termination or resignation is Without Cause shall be made by the individual who served as Chief Executive Officer
of the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control event, or such other individual or committee to whom this Chief Executive Officer delegates this responsibility (the party responsible for making this determination referred to hereinafter as
the “Administrator”). 
 (d). Resignation by Employee for Good Reason. In the event that Officer resigns for
Good Reason, as defined below, during the Employment Period, Officer shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations, Salary Continuance Benefit, and Welfare Continuance Benefit under the terms defined in Section 6. For this purpose,
“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following, as determined by Officer and agreed to by the Administrator: 
  

	 	(i)	a material reduction in Officer’s duties or authority; 

  

	 	(ii)	a material adverse change in Officer’s overall working environment; 

  

	 	(iii)	a failure by the Company to comply with any of the material provisions of this agreement; 

 

	 	(iv)	the Company’s requiring Officer to be based at any office or location that is located more than thirty five miles from the office or location in which Officer was
employed immediately prior to the Change in Control; or 

  

	 	(v).	Officer is directed by the Board of Directors or an officer of the Company or any affiliated company to engage in conduct that is unethical or illegal.

 For purposes of this subsection, the determination of whether a termination or resignation is for Good Reason
shall be made by the individual who served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control event, or such other individual or committee to whom this Chief Executive Officer delegates this responsibility (the
party responsible for making this determination referred to hereinafter as the “Administrator”). 
 (e) Notice of
Termination. Any termination during the Employment Period by Company or by Officer shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a
notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon. 

  
 4 

 (f) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if
Officer’s employment is terminated by Company for Cause, or by Officer for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if Officer’s employment is
terminated by Company other than for Cause or Disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which shall not be less than 30 nor more than 60 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given), and (iii) if Officer’s
employment is terminated for Disability, 30 days after Notice of Termination is given, provided that Officer shall not have returned to the full-time performance of his duties during such 30-day period. 

6. Compensation Upon Termination by Company Without Cause or by Officer for Good Reason. Officer will be entitled to the following
benefits if, during the Employment Period, Company terminates his employment without Cause or Officer terminates his employment with Company or any affiliated company for Good Reason: 

(a) Accrued Obligations. The sum of (1) Officer’s annual base salary as indicated in section 4 (b)(i), to the extent
not yet paid through the date of termination; (2) the amount, if any, of any incentive or bonus compensation theretofore earned which has not yet been paid, if applicable; and (3) any benefits or awards (including both cash and stock
components) which pursuant to the terms of any plans, policies or programs have been earned or become payable, but which have not yet been paid to Officer (but not including amounts that previously had been deferred at Officer’s request, which
amounts will be paid in accordance with Officer’s existing directions). The Accrued Obligations will be paid to Employee in a lump sum cash payment within ten days after the termination date; 

(b) Salary Continuance Benefit. The Salary Continuance Benefit is an amount equal to TWO times Officer’s
Final Compensation. For purposes of this agreement, “Final Compensation” means the annual base salary disclosed in section 4(b), plus the highest annual bonus paid or payable for the two most recently completed years and any amount
contributed by Officer during the most recently completed year pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or any other program that provides for pre-tax salary reductions or compensation deferrals. For annual bonus calculations, the combined bonus
paid under a Profit Sharing Plan for Mortgage Officers and a Spread Bonus Plan for Mortgage Officers will be limited, for calculation purposes of the highest annual bonus, to the lesser of $82,500 or the highest combined bonus paid under those bonus
plans. The Salary Continuance Benefit will be paid to Employee in a lump sum cash payment not later than the
45th day following the termination date; and 

(c ) Welfare Continuance Benefit. For 36 months following the termination date, Employee and his dependents will continue to be
covered under all health and dental plans, disability plans, life insurance plans and all other welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) (“Welfare Plans”) in which Officer or his dependents were participating
immediately prior to the Date of Termination (the “Welfare Continuance Benefit”). The Company will pay all or a portion of the cost of 

  
 5 

 
the Welfare Continuance Benefit for Officer and his dependents under the Welfare Plans on the same basis as applicable, from time to time, to active employees covered under the Welfare Plans and
Officer will pay any additional costs. If participation in any one or more of the Welfare Plans included in the Welfare Continuance Benefit is not possible under the terms of the Welfare Plan or any provision of law would create an adverse tax
effect for Officer or the Company due to such participation, the Company will provide substantially identical benefits directly through COBRA or through an insurance arrangement. If Officer or his dependents receive continuation coverage through
COBRA or any other insurance plan, the Company must pay all reimbursements to the Officer pursuant to this paragraph on or before the last day of the month following the month in which the expense is incurred. Officers may not exchange the right to
reimbursement or to an in-kind benefit for another reimbursement or benefit and may not receive cash in lieu of an in-kind benefit or right to reimbursement. The Welfare Continuance Benefit as to any Welfare Plan will cease if and when Officer has
obtained coverage under one or more welfare benefit plans of a subsequent employer that provides for equal or greater benefits to Officer and his dependents with respect to the specific type of benefit. 

7. Compensation Upon Termination by Death, Disability, For Cause by Company, or by Officer without Good Reason. Officer will be
entitled to the following benefits if, during the Employment Period, termination of employment with the Company or any affiliated company is caused by Officer’s death or disability, or by the Company for cause, or by the employee without good
reason: 
 (a) Death. If Officer dies during the Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further
obligation on the part of Company under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations and six months of Officer’s Base Salary (which shall be paid to Officer’s beneficiary designated in writing or his estate,
as applicable, in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days of the date of death); (ii) the timely payment or provision of the Welfare Continuance Benefit to Officer’s spouse and other dependents for 12 months following the date of death; and
(iii) the timely payment of all death and retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of Company and its affiliated companies. 
 (b) Disability. If Officer’s employment is terminated because of Officer’s Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further obligation on the
part of Company under this Agreement, other than for (1) payment of the Accrued Obligations in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days of the date of death or Disability; (2) a payment in an amount equivalent to six months of the base
salary indicated in section 4(b) in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days of the date of death or Disability; and (3) the timely payment or provision of the Welfare Continuance Benefit to Officer and/or Officer’s spouse and other
dependents for 36 months following the date of death or Disability. 

  
 6 

 (c) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If Officer’s employment is terminated by
the Company for Cause or by the Officer without good reason during the Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to Officer other than the payment to Officer of the Annual Base Salary through the Date of
Termination, plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by Officer and any other benefits to which Officer may be entitled pursuant to the terms of any plan, program or arrangement of Company and its affiliated companies, all of which
will be paid in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. 
 8. Compliance with Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code 
 (a) Six Month Delay in Payments. If the Employee is a specified employee of a publicly traded
corporation as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, and any payment or provision of any benefit in this Agreement is subject to Section 409A, then such payment or provision of benefits in connection with a separation from
service payment event (as determined by Section 409A of the Code), as opposed to another payment event permitted under Section 409A, or an amount payable that is not subject to 409A, shall not be made until the first day of the month
following the six month anniversary of the Employee’s separation from service. In the case or installment or periodic payments, the first payment shall include a “catch-up” amount equal to the sum of payments that would have been made
to the Employee during the period preceding the first payment date if not 6-month delay had applied. 
 (b) Compliance with
Section 409A of the Code. Any benefit, payment or other right provided by the Agreement shall be provided or made in a manner, and at such time, in such form and subject to such election procedures (if any), as complies with the applicable
requirements of Code section 409A to avoid a failure described in Code section 409A(a)(1), including without limitation, deferring payment until the occurrence of a specified payment event described in Code section 409A(a)(2). Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof or document pertaining hereto, the Agreement shall be so construed and interpreted to meet the applicable requirements of Code section 409A to avoid a failure described in Code section 409A(a)(1). 

9. Binding Agreement; Successors 
 (a) This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Officer (and his personal representative), Company and any successor organization or organizations which shall succeed to substantially
all of the business and property of Company, whether by means of merger, consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially of all of the assets of Company or otherwise, including by operation of law. 

(b) Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

 (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company” includes any subsidiaries
of Company and any corporation or other entity which is the surviving or continuing entity in respect of any merger, consolidation or form of business combination in which Company ceases to exist; provided, however, that for purposes of determining
whether a Change in Control has occurred herein, the term “Company” refers to Company or its successors. 
 (d) This
Agreement supersedes and replaces any previous Change of Control Agreements, or any similar agreements between Officer and Company. 
 10. Fees and Expenses; Mitigation 
 (a) Should either party find it
necessary to seek enforcement of any provision hereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to his or its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, up to a maximum of $30,000. 

(b) Officer shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment Company becomes obligated to make to Officer in connection with
this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise. Except as specifically provided above with respect to the Welfare Continuance Benefit, the amount of any payment provided for in Section 6 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to
recovery by Company by reason of any compensation earned by Officer as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise. 
 11. No Employment Contract 
 Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as
creating an employment contract between Officer and Company prior to Change in Control. 
 12. Notice 

Any notices and other communications provided for by this Agreement will be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid (in which case notice will be deemed to have been given on the third day after mailing), or by overnight delivery by a reliable overnight courier service (in which case notice will be deemed to have been
given on the day after delivery to such courier service). Notices to Company shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of Company. Notices to Officer shall be directed to his last known address.
