RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made this [DATE], by and between AMN Healthcare Services, Inc.
(the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and [NAME] (the “Grantee”). 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 WHEREAS, the Company sponsors the AMN Healthcare Equity Plan (the “Plan”), and desires to afford the Grantee
the opportunity to share in the appreciation of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Stock”) thereunder, thereby strengthening the Grantee’s commitment to the welfare of the Company and Affiliates and
promoting an identity of interest between stockholders and the Grantee. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions. 

The following definitions shall be applicable throughout the Agreement. Where defined terms are not defined herein, their meaning shall
be that set forth in the Plan. 
 (a) “Affiliate” means (i) any entity that directly or indirectly is
controlled by, or is under common control with the Company and (ii) any entity in which the Company has a significant equity interest, in either case as determined by the Committee. 

(b) “Cause” means the Company or an Affiliate having “cause” to terminate a Grantee’s employment or
service, as defined in any existing employment, consulting or any other agreement between the Grantee and the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or, in the absence of such an employment, consulting or other agreement, upon (i) the
determination by the Committee that the Grantee has ceased to perform his/her duties to the Company or an Affiliate (other than as a result of his/her incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury), which failure amounts to an intentional
and extended neglect of his/her duties to such party, (ii) the Committee’s determination that the Grantee has engaged or is about to engage in conduct injurious to the Company or an Affiliate, (iii) the Grantee having been convicted
of, or pleaded guilty or no contest to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude or (iv) the failure of the Grantee to follow the lawful instructions of the Board or Grantee’s direct superiors; provided, however, that in
the instances of clauses (i), (ii) and (iv), the Company or Affiliate, as applicable, must give the Grantee twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the defaults constituting “cause” hereunder. 

(c) “Change in Control” shall, unless in the case of a particular RSU, the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement
states otherwise or contains a different definition of “Change in Control,” be deemed to occur upon: 

 (i) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of a
majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; 

(ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company; or 

(iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company that
requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), if immediately following such Business Combination: (x) a Person is or
becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving
Corporation), or (y) the Company’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination thereafter cease to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible
to elect directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving Corporation), counting for this purpose only voting securities of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation, the Surviving
Corporation) received by such stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. “Surviving Corporation” shall mean the corporation resulting from a Business Combination, and “Parent Corporation” shall mean the
ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors. 
 (d) “Committee” means the compensation committee of the Board or a similar committee performing
the functions of the compensation committee and which is comprised of not less than two Non-Employee Directors who are independent. 

(e) “Credited Service” shall mean the performance of Service on a substantially full time basis for a continuous
twelve-month period. For this purpose, substantially full time basis shall mean that the employee or consultant provides regular and recurring services to the Company of at least 32 hours each week. The taking of approved Paid Time Off or legally
mandated leave, such as FMLA, does not interrupt this period of Credited Service. 
 (f) “Grant Date” means
[DATE] which is the date specified in the authorization of this RSU grant.

 (i) “Service” shall mean the performance of services for the Company (or
any Affiliate) by a person in the capacity of an officer or other employee or key person (including consultants). 
 2.
Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an aggregate of XXX Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs). 

3. Vesting Schedule. No RSUs may be settled until they shall have vested. Except as otherwise
set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan, the RSUs will vest according to the following schedule: 33% of the RSUs on and after the
13th month anniversary of the Grant Date and the
Grantee’s provision of Credited Service; an additional 34% of the RSUs on the second anniversary of the Grant Date and the Grantee’s provision of a second period of Credited Service; and a final 33% of the RSUs on and after the
third anniversary of the Grant Date and the Grantee’s provision of a third period of Credited Service. 
 4.
Deferral of RSUs. 
 (a) Each vested RSU entitles the Grantee to receive one share of Stock on the
“Settlement Date” which shall be the later of (i) the vesting date for such RSU or (ii) the end of the deferral period specified by the Grantee. Any deferral period must be expressed as a number of whole years, not less
than three (3), beginning on the Grant Date. Such deferral election shall be made within 30 days of the Grant Date. This deferral period will apply only to the deferral election made on the specific deferral election form. In addition, any such
deferral must apply to receipt of all shares of Stock underlying the entire Grant; for example, a deferral period of five (5) years would result in the Grantee receiving shares of Stock underlying the entire Grant five (5) years from the
Grant Date regardless of the fact that the RSUs may have vested at differing times. (If no deferral period is specified on the deferral election form, Stock will be issued as soon as practicable upon vesting of the RSUs). If the Grantee wishes to
elect to delay his original Settlement Date, such election must be made at least twelve (12) months in advance of the Settlement Date and the new Settlement Date must be at least five (5) years after the original Settlement Date.

 (b) Shares of Stock underlying the RSUs shall be issued and delivered to the Grantee in accordance with paragraph
(a) and upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Committee with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such issuance and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to
such compliance shall be final and binding on the Grantee. The shares of Stock delivered to the Grantee pursuant to this Section 4 shall be free and clear of all liens, fully paid and non-assessable. 

(c) Until such time as shares of Stock have been issued to the Grantee pursuant to paragraph (b) above, and except as set forth in
Section 5 below regarding dividend equivalents, the Grantee shall not have any rights as a holder of the shares of Stock underlying this Grant including but not limited to voting rights. 

 (d) The Grantee may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or
any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any shares of Stock or other property deliverable under the RSU or from any compensation or other amounts owing to the Grantee the amount (in cash, Stock or other property)
of any required tax withholding and payroll taxes in respect of an RSU vesting or settlement and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. 

(e) Without limiting the generality of clause (d) above, in the Committee’s sole discretion the Grantee may satisfy, in whole
or in part, the foregoing withholding liability (but no more than the minimum required withholding liability) by having the Company withhold from the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the settlement of the RSU a number of
shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability. 
 5. Dividend Equivalents. If on any
date the Company shall pay any cash dividend on shares of Stock of the Company, the number of RSUs credited to the Grantee shall, as of such date, be increased by an amount determined by the following formula: 

W = (X multiplied by Y) divided by Z, where: 

W = the number of additional RSUs to be credited to the Grantee on such dividend payment date; 

X = the aggregate number of RSUs (whether vested or unvested) credited to the Grantee as of the record date of the dividend; 

Y = the cash dividend per share amount; and 

Z = the Fair Market Value per share of Stock (as determined under the Plan) on the dividend payment date. 

6. Termination of Employment. 

(a) If, prior to the Settlement Date, the Grantee shall undergo: a termination of full-time employment if an employee (and also
termination of Service if a director); or cessation of providing Credited Service if a consultant, each other than for Cause, (i) the RSUs which are vested at the time of such termination shall be determined in accordance with Section 3,
(ii) the RSUs which are not vested at the date of such termination shall expire on such date. In the event of such termination, regardless of the Grantee’s deferral election, the Company, as soon as practicable following the effective date
of termination shall issue shares of Stock to Grantee (or Grantee’s designated beneficiary or estate executor in the event of Grantee’s death) with respect to any RSUs which, as of the effective date of termination, have vested but for
which shares of Stock had not yet been issued to Grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grantee is a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A of the Code), any distribution on account of termination of employment shall be delayed
until at least six months after such termination of employment. 

 (b) If, prior to the Settlement Date, the Grantee is terminated from the employment or
service with the Company for Cause, all RSUs then held by such Grantee (whether or not vested) shall expire immediately upon such cessation of employment or service. 

7. Company; Grantee. 

(a) The term “Company” as used in this Agreement with reference to employment shall include the Company, its
Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, as appropriate. 
 (b) Whenever the word “Grantee” is used in any provision of
this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the beneficiaries, the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the RSUs may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, the word “Grantee” shall be deemed to include such person or persons. 
 8.
Non-Transferability. The RSUs are not transferable by the Grantee other than to a designated beneficiary upon death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, to a trust solely for the benefit of the Grantee or his/her
immediate family, and are exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime only by Grantee, or in the case of the RSUs being held by such a trust, by the trustee. 

9. Forfeiture for Non-Compete Violation. 

(a) Non-Compete. The Grantee agrees that during the term of Grantee’s employment and for a period of two years thereafter
(the “Coverage Period”) the Grantee will not engage in, consult with, participate in, hold a position as shareholder, director, officer, consultant, employee, partner or investor, or otherwise assist any business entity (i) in any
State of the United States of America or (ii) in any other country in which the Company has business activities, in either case, that is engaged in any activities which are competitive with the business of providing healthcare or other
personnel on a temporary or permanent placement basis to hospitals, healthcare facilities, healthcare provider practice groups or other entities and any and all business activities reasonably related thereto in which the Company or any of its
divisions, affiliates or subsidiaries are then engaged. 
 (b) Non-Solicit. The Grantee agrees that during the Coverage
Period, Grantee shall not solicit, attempt to solicit or endeavor to entice away from the Company any person who, at any time during the term of Grantee’s employment was a traveling nurse, physician, allied healthcare professional or other
healthcare professional, employee, customer, client or supplier of the Company. 
 (c) Confidential and Proprietary
Information. The Grantee agrees that Grantee will not, at any time make use of or divulge to any other person, firm or corporation any confidential or proprietary information concerning the business or policies of the Company or any of its
divisions, affiliates or subsidiaries. For purposes of this Agreement, any confidential information shall constitute any information designated as confidential or proprietary by the Company or otherwise known by the Grantee to be confidential or
proprietary information including, without limitation, customer information. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that for 

 
purposes of this Agreement, “customer information” includes without limitation, customer lists, all lists of professional personnel, names, addresses, phone numbers, contact persons,
preferences, pricing arrangements, requirements and practices. Grantee’s obligation under this Section 9(c) shall not apply to any information which (i) is known publicly; (ii) is in the public domain or hereafter enters the
public domain without the fault of Grantee; or (iii) is hereafter disclosed to Grantee by a third party not under an obligation of confidence to the Company. Grantee agrees not to remove from the premises of the Company, except as an employee
of the Company in pursuit of the business of the Company or except as specifically permitted in writing by the Company, any document or other object containing or reflecting any such confidential or proprietary information. Grantee recognizes that
all such information, whether developed by the Grantee or by someone else, will be the sole exclusive property of the Company. Upon termination of employment, Grantee shall forthwith deliver to the Company all such confidential or proprietary
information, including without limitation all lists of customers, pricing methods, financial structures, correspondence, accounts, records and any other documents, computer disks, computer programs, software, laptops, modems or property made or held
by Grantee or under Grantee’s control in relation to the business or affairs of the Company or any of its divisions, subsidiaries or affiliates, and no copy of any such confidential or proprietary information shall be retained by Grantee.

 (d) Forfeiture for Violations. If the Grantee shall at any time violate the provisions of Section 9(a), (b), or
(c), the Grantee shall immediately forfeit his/her RSUs (whether vested or unvested) and any issuance of shares of Stock which occurs after (or within 6 months before) any such violation shall be void ab initio. 

10. Rights as Stockholder. The Grantee or a transferee of the RSUs shall have no rights as a stockholder with
respect to any share of Stock covered by the RSUs until the Grantee shall have become the holder of record of such share and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of such share of Stock for which the
record date is prior to the date upon which Grantee shall become the holder of record thereof. 
 11. Effect of Change in
Control. 
 (a) In the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any vesting schedule, 100% of the RSUs shall become
immediately vested and the Company shall issue shares of Stock to the Grantee to settle the RSUs on the Settlement Date of such RSUs, in accordance with Section 4. 

(b) The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from
the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company. The Company agrees that it will make appropriate
provisions for the preservation of the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement in any agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets. 

12. Notice. Every notice or other communication relating to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be
mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at 

 
such address as may from time to time be designated by it in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided, provided that, unless and until some other address be so
designated, all notices or communications by the Grantee to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, and all notices or communications by the Company to the Grantee may be given to the Grantee
personally or may be mailed to Grantee at Grantee’s address as recorded in the records of the Company. 
 13.
No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving the Grantee the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may
at any time dismiss the Grantee or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 

14. Binding Effect. Subject to Section 7 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors,
administrators and successors of the parties hereto. 
 15. Amendment of Agreement. The Committee may, to
the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any portion of the RSUs heretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively;
provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would impair the rights of the Grantee in respect of any RSUs already granted shall not to that extent be effective without the
consent of the Grantee. 
 16. RSUs Subject to Plan and 2005 Amended and Restated Executive Nonqualified Excess
Plan, as amended. By entering into this Agreement, the Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the Grantee has received and read a copy of the Plan and a copy of the Company’s 2005 Amended and Restated Executive Nonqualified Excess Plan.

and a term or provision of either the Plan or the Company’s 2005 Amended and Restated Executive Nonqualified Excess Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the applicable plan will govern and prevail.

the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof, or principles of conflicts of laws of any other jurisdiction which could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

 Exhibit 10.1 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT, dated and effective as of May 6, 2010, is made and entered into by and between AmeriCredit Corp., a Texas
corporation, having an office at 801 Cherry Street, Suite 3500, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 (hereinafter referred to as “Employer”), each subsidiary corporation of Employer whether executing this Agreement or not (each, a
“Subsidiary”), and Daniel E. Berce (hereinafter referred to as “Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, Employer desires
that the Executive continue as an employee of Employer and Subsidiary in an executive capacity to provide the necessary leadership and management skills that are important to the success of Employer and Subsidiary. Employer believes that retaining
the Executive’s services as an employee of Employer and Subsidiary and the benefits of his business experience are of material importance to Employer and Subsidiary. 

WHEREAS, Employer and Executive are parties to an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of November 7, 2005 (the
“Existing Employment Agreement”). 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Existing Employment
Agreement in the manner, and on the terms and conditions herein provided. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
Executive’s employment by Employer and the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intend by this Agreement to specify the terms and conditions of
Executive’s employment relationship with Employer and Subsidiary and the post-employment obligations of Executive. 
 1. General Duties
of Employer and Executive: 
 1.1. Employer agrees to employ Executive and Executive agrees to accept employment by Employer
and to serve Employer in an executive capacity upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The duties and responsibilities of Executive shall include those described for the particular position held by Executive while employed hereunder in the
By-laws of Employer or Subsidiary or other documents of Employer or Subsidiary. The capacity that Executive shall hold during the term hereof shall be that position as determined by the Board of Directors of Employer or Subsidiary, or any duly
authorized committee thereof, from time to time in its sole discretion. While employed hereunder, the initial position that Executive shall hold (until such time as such position may be changed as aforesaid) shall be the position of President and
Chief Executive Officer. 
 1.2. While employed hereunder, Executive shall obey the lawful directions of the Board of Directors
of Employer or Subsidiary, any duly authorized committees thereof or any authorized officers of Employer or Subsidiary and shall use his best efforts to promote the interests of Employer and Subsidiary and to maintain and to promote the reputation
thereof. While employed hereunder, Executive shall devote his time, efforts, skills and attention to the affairs of Employer and Subsidiary in order that he shall faithfully perform his duties and obligations hereunder and such as may be assigned to
or vested in him by the Board of Directors of Employer or Subsidiary, any duly authorized committees thereof or any duly authorized officer of Employer or Subsidiary. 

1.3. During the term of this Agreement, Executive may from time to time engage in any businesses or activities that do not compete
directly and materially with Employer or Subsidiary and any of their subsidiaries, provided that such businesses or activities do not materially interfere with his performance of the duties assigned to him in compliance with this Agreement

 
by the Board of Directors of Employer or Subsidiary, any duly authorized committees thereof or any authorized officer of Employer or Subsidiary. In any event, Executive is permitted to
(i) invest his personal assets as a passive investor in such form or manner as will not contravene the best interests of Employer or Subsidiary, (ii) participate in various charitable efforts, or (iii) serve as a director or officer
of any other entity or organization when such position has previously been approved by the Board of Directors of Employer or Subsidiary. 
 2.
Compensation and Benefits: 
 2.1. As compensation for services to Employer and Subsidiary, Employer shall pay to
Executive during the term of this Agreement a salary at an annual rate to be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors of Employer or any duly authorized committee thereof, which annual rate shall initially be $950,000 on a per annum basis.
The salary shall be payable in equal biweekly installments, subject only to such payroll and withholding deductions as may be required by law and other deductions applied generally to employees of Employer for insurance and other employee benefit
plans. The Board of Directors of Employer, or any authorized committee or officer of Employer, shall review Executive’s overall annual compensation at least annually, with a view to ascertaining the adequacy thereof and such compensation may be
increased (but not decreased) by the Board of Directors of Employer from time to time by an amount that in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Employer is justified by Executive’s performance. 

2.2. Upon Executive furnishing to Employer customary and reasonable documentary support (such as receipts or paid bills) evidencing costs
and expenses incurred by him in the performance of his services and duties hereunder (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment expenses) and containing sufficient information to establish the amount, date, place and essential
character of the expenditure, Executive shall be reimbursed for such costs and expenses in accordance with Employer’s normal expense reimbursement policy. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all group life, health and medical
insurance plans, stock option plans and other stock programs and compensation plans and such other benefits, plans or programs as may be from time to time specifically adopted and approved by Employer for employees generally. 

2.3 Executive shall be entitled to such vacation, holiday, and (subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof) other paid or
unpaid leave of absence as is consistent with Employer’s normal policies or as otherwise approved by the Board of Directors of Employer. 

2.4 As long as this Agreement is in effect, Employer agrees to provide and maintain life insurance coverage on the life of Executive in
the face amount of $500,000, with proceeds thereunder payable to such beneficiaries as Executive may designate, and Employer agrees to pay all premiums on such policy. Coverage shall continue throughout the employment term hereof. Such coverage may
consist of term, group term, whole life or any other form of coverage selected by Employer in its sole discretion and may be with such insurers as Employer may select. Additionally during the term of this Agreement, Employer agrees to pay to
Executive an annual bonus in an amount equal to the annual life insurance premiums under Phoenix Life Policy #00002703173 (the “Phoenix Policy”) plus the tax gross-up at the highest individual tax rate then in effect. Upon execution of
this Agreement, (i) Employer shall sell Executive the Phoenix Policy in the amount equal to Employer’s accumulated premium payments previously made by Employer with respect to the Phoenix Policy, and (ii) in connection with such sale,
any amount in excess of the cash surrender value of the Phoenix Policy over the accumulated premium payments will be reflected as compensation to Executive and any taxes associated with such compensation will be grossed-up at the highest individual
tax rate then in effect. 
  

 – 2 – 

 2.5 While Executive is employed hereunder, Employer agrees to provide an allowance to
Executive of $5,000 per annum for costs and expenses incurred by Executive for professional legal and/or accounting services rendered personally to Executive, which amount shall be paid to Executive on December 1 of each year (or such earlier
time that Executive and Employer may otherwise agree). 
 2.6 Executive shall be eligible to receive cash bonuses or other
incentive compensation as may be determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time. As long as this Agreement is in effect, Employer shall maintain an Executive Bonus Program, and Executive shall be eligible to participate therein, on terms
no less favorable than those provided to the other executives of Employer and upon such terms and conditions, including performance measures, as the Compensation Committee establishes for Employer’s executive officers. 

2.7 In order to promote the interests of Employer, Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement from Employer for, or an allowance in
respect of, all base monthly dues incurred by him in connection with his membership in such clubs as may be agreed upon by Employer. 

2.8 Executive shall have the right to participate in any additional compensation, benefit, life insurance, hospitalization, medical
services or other plan or arrangement of Employer now or hereafter existing for the benefit of executives of Employer. 
 2.9
Executive shall be entitled to such vacation (in no event less than four (4) weeks per year), holiday and (subject to the provisions of Section 6.3) other paid or unpaid leave of absence as consistent with Employer’s normal policies
or as otherwise approved by the Board of Directors. 
 3. Preservation of Business; Fiduciary Responsibility: 

Executive shall use his best efforts to preserve the business and organization of Employer and Subsidiary, to keep available to Employer
and Subsidiary the services of present employees and to preserve the business relations of Employer and Subsidiary with dealers, retailers, suppliers, distributors, investors, investment bankers, customers and others. Executive shall not commit any
act, or in any way assist others to commit any act, that would injure Employer or Subsidiary. So long as Executive is employed by Employer or Subsidiary, Executive shall observe and fulfill proper standards of fiduciary responsibility attendant upon
his service and office. 
 4. Executive’s Access to Proprietary Business Information and Obligation to Refrain From Using or Disclosing
Information: 
 4.1. In Executive’s position as an executive, Executive shall be granted access to a full range of
Employer’s secret and confidential business information to enable Executive to fulfill and perform his fiduciary responsibilities and duties. The secret and confidential business information to which Executive shall have access shall include,
but not necessarily be limited to, detailed financial information regarding the Employer’s financial and operating performance, financial projections, accounting strategies and methods, investment strategies and methods,

  

 – 3 – 

 
business funding strategies, banking contacts and relationships, investor identities and relationships, financial product marketing strategies and methods, financial product pricing strategies
and methods, structuring strategies and methods regarding financial products, loan servicing strategies and methods, loan application credit standards (including Employer’s trade secrets regarding its credit scoring approaches, techniques and
software programs), employee information regarding identities, responsibilities, compensation and benefits, and information technology strategies and methods. Executive acknowledges that such access was granted under the Existing Employment
Agreement and continuing access is required for Executive to fulfill and perform his fiduciary responsibilities and duties. 

4.2. As part of Executive’s fiduciary duties to Employer and Subsidiary, Executive agrees, both during the term of this Agreement
and thereafter, to protect, preserve the confidentiality of and safeguard Employer’s and Subsidiary’s secret or confidential information, knowledge, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries and inventions, and, except as may be expressly
required by Employer, Executive shall not, either during his employment by Employer or Subsidiary or thereafter, directly or indirectly, use for his own benefit or for the benefit of another, or disclose to another, any of such information, ideas,
concepts, improvements, discoveries or inventions. 
 4.3. Upon termination of his employment with Employer and Subsidiary, or
at any other time upon request, Executive shall immediately deliver to Employer all documents embodying any of Employer’s or Subsidiary’s secret or confidential information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries and inventions.

 4.4. In order to protect and enforce Executive’s covenants regarding Employer’s secret or confidential information,
in consideration of continuing access to such information and in consideration the “termination payments” (as defined in Section 7.3 hereof) where applicable, Executive acknowledges that the covenant to not compete set out in
Section 8.1 and the covenant to not compete unfairly set forth in Section 8.3 are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the Employers’ secret and confidential information and the integrity of the Employer’s business.
Executive further acknowledges that the longer duration of the covenant not to compete set out in Section 8.1 hereof in the event of an “change of control” (as defined in Section 6.6 hereof) is fair and necessary to protect the
interests of an acquiring person or newly constituted Board of Directors, as the case may be. 
 4.5 In the event that Executive
receives “termination payments” for the covenant to not compete as set out in Section 8.1 and, within the non compete period specified in Section 8.1 and the covenant to not compete unfairly set forth in Section 8.3, the
Executive engages in activities not allowed by Sections 8.1 or 8.3, then, in addition to any other causes of action for damages or equitable relief that the Employer may have as a result of such breach, the Employer may demand, and the Executive
agrees to return within thirty (30) days of demand, the re-payment of a pro-rata portion of the “termination payments.” The pro-rata amount to be repaid shall be the amount of the “termination payment” made to the Executive,
divided by the number of months in the non compete period multiplied by the number of months remaining in the non-compete period beginning with the month in which the Executive engaged in activities not allowed under Sections 8.1 or 8.3. 

 

 – 4 – 

 5. Initial Term; Extensions of the Term: 

5.1. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the effective date hereof and shall end on June 30, 2011. 

5.2. The term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for additional one-year periods commencing on July 1, 2011 and on
July 1 thereafter, unless either Executive or Employer gives written notice to the other on or before any March 1 of his or its intention not to extend this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that, unless and until such notice of non-extension is provided by either Employer or Executive as provided in the immediately preceding sentence (or unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof),
as of each July 1 hereafter the term of this Agreement shall be extended for one year so as to provide for a prospective three-year employment term as of each such date. 

6. Termination other than by Expiration of the Term: Employer or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any
time, but only on the following terms: 
 6.1. Executive may terminate his employment under this Agreement at any time upon at
least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Employer. 
 6.2. Employer may terminate Executive’s employment
under this Agreement at any time, without prior notice, for “due cause” upon the good faith determination by the Board of Directors of Employer or Subsidiary that “due cause” exists for the termination of the employment
relationship. As used herein, the term “due cause” shall mean any of the following events: 
 (i) any intentional
misapplication by Executive of Employer’s or Subsidiary’s funds, or any other act of dishonesty injurious to Employer or Subsidiary committed by Executive; or 

(ii) Executive’s conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude; or 

(iii) Executive’s use or possession of any controlled substance or abuse of alcoholic beverages; or 

(iv) Executive’s breach, non-performance or non-observance of any of the terms of this Agreement if such breach, non-performance or
non-observance shall continue beyond a period of ten (10) days immediately after notice thereof by Employer to Executive; or 

(v) any other action by the Executive involving willful and deliberate malfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of
Executive’s duties. 
 6.3. In the event Executive is incapacitated by Disability, accident, sickness or otherwise so as to
render Executive mentally or physically incapable of performing the services required under Section 1 for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive business days, and such incapacity is confirmed by the written opinion of two
(2) practicing medical doctors licensed by and in good standing in the state in which they maintain offices for the practice of medicine, upon the expiration of such period or at any time reasonably thereafter, or in the event of
Executive’s death, Employer may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement upon giving Executive or his legal representative written notice at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the termination date. Executive agrees,
after written notice by the Board of Directors of Employer or Subsidiary or a duly authorized committee or any officer of Employer or Subsidiary, to submit to examinations by such practicing medical doctors selected by the Board of Directors of
Employer 
  

 – 5 – 

 
or Subsidiary or a duly authorized committee or any officer of Employer or Subsidiary. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a person (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 12 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 Employer or Subsidiary. 
 6.4. Employer may terminate
Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for any reason whatsoever, even without “due cause,” by giving a written notice of termination to Executive, in which case the employment relationship shall terminate immediately
upon the giving of such notice. 
 6.5. If Employer decreases Executive’s salary below its then current level, as such
salary level may have been increased from time to time above the initial level specified in Section 2.1, demotes the Executive to a non-executive position or reduces the employee benefits and perquisites below the levels provided for by the
terms of Section 2 hereof, other than as a result of any amendment or termination of any employee and/or executive benefit plan or arrangement, which amendment or termination is applicable to all employees of Employer or Subsidiary, then
such action by Employer, unless consented to in writing by Executive, shall be deemed to be a constructive termination by Employer of Executive’s employment (“Constructive Termination”). 

6.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise provided herein, if a “change of control” (as defined below) of
Employer occurs, within twelve (12) months from the date of such “change of control,” Executive shall have the right to voluntarily terminate the employment relationship under this Agreement by giving sixty (60) days’
written notice to Employer or Subsidiary under Section 6.1 hereof, and Employer or Subsidiary shall have the right to give written notice to Executive to terminate Executive’s employment relationship without “due cause” pursuant
to Section 6.4. “Change in control” shall be deemed to have occurred (i) on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of Employer that, together with stock held by such
person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of Employer, (ii) on the date that a majority of the members of Employer’s Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month
period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of Employer’s Board of Directors prior to the date of the appointment or election or (iii) on the date any one person, or more than one person
acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from Employer that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total
gross fair market value of all the assets of Employer immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. 
 7. Effect of Termination:

 7.1. In the event the employment relationship is terminated (a) by Executive upon sixty (60) days’ written
notice pursuant to Section 6.1, (b) by Employer for “due cause” pursuant to Section 6.2, or (c) by Executive breaching this Agreement by refusing to continue his employment and failing to give the requisite sixty
(60) days’ written notice, all compensation and benefits shall cease as of the date of termination (it being specifically agreed that Executive shall not be entitled to any bonuses not yet vested at the date of termination), other than:
(i) those benefits that are provided by retirement and benefit plans and programs specifically adopted and approved by Employer or Subsidiary for Executive that are earned and vested by the date of termination, and (ii) Executive’s
pro rata annual salary plus all earned and vested bonuses 
  

 – 6 – 

 
through the date of termination. Executive’s right to exercise stock options and Executive’s rights in other stock plans, if any, shall remain governed by the terms and conditions of
the appropriate stock plan. 
 7.2. Except as provided in Section 7.3, if Executive’s employment relationship is
terminated pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof due to Executive’s incapacity or death, Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death, Executive’s legal representative or estate) will be entitled to those benefits that are provided
by retirement and benefits plans and programs specifically adopted and approved by Employer or Subsidiary for Executive that are earned and vested at the date of termination and, even though no longer employed by Employer or Subsidiary, shall
continue to receive the salary compensation (payable in the manner as prescribed in the second sentence of Section 2.1) for six (6) months following the date of termination. Executive (or, in the event of Executive’s death,
Executive’s legal representative or estate) shall not, however, be entitled to any bonuses not yet vested at the date of termination of employment. Executive’s right to exercise stock options and Executive’s rights in other stock
plans, if any, shall remain governed by the terms and conditions of the appropriate stock plans. 
 7.3. (a) The Executive
shall be entitled to receive the “termination payments” (as defined below) if any of the following events occur: 

(A) Employer (i) terminates the employment of Executive other than pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof for “due
cause” or other than for a disability or death pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof, or (ii) terminates the employment of Executive pursuant to Section 6.3 on account of Executive’s death or disability occurring within twelve
(12) months of the date of a change of control of Employer, or (iii) terminates the employment of Executive following a “change of control” pursuant to Section 6.6; or 

(B) a Constructive Termination; or 

(C) Executive terminates the employment relationship following a “change of Control” pursuant to
Section 6.6. 
 (b) The “termination payments” shall be paid six (6) months after the date of termination in
an amount equal to (x) earned and vested bonuses at the date of termination plus a payment equal to the amount of Executive’s salary (undiscounted), as “salary” is defined below, prorated for the remainder of the fiscal year in
which the termination of employment occurs, plus (y) the present value (employing a discount rate of 8%) of two (2) additional years’ salary. For purposes of this Section 7.3, the term “salary” shall mean the sum
of (i) the highest annual rate of compensation provided to Executive in any of the seven (7) fiscal years preceding the year in which the termination occurred, plus (ii) the highest cash incentive compensation earned by Executive
under a performance based award granted under the Senior Executive Bonus Plan (including any successor plans) in any of the seven (7) fiscal years preceding the year in which the termination occurred. 

(c) Executive’s right to exercise stock options and Executive’s rights in other stock plans, if any, shall remain governed by
the terms and conditions of the appropriate stock plan. 
 7.4 The “termination payments” should not constitute a
parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). If it is determined, however, that all or a portion of the “termination payments” are not excludable under Section 280G of
the Code and (a) there is a change in the ownership or effective control of Employer or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Employer (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) the Code) and (b) the
payments otherwise to be made pursuant to Section 7.3 (the “termination payments”) and any other payments or benefits otherwise to be paid to Executive in the nature of compensation to be received by or for the benefit of
Executive and 
  

 – 7 – 

 
contingent upon such event (together, the “total payments”) would create an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then Employer shall
make the “termination payments” that are considered parachute payments in substantially equal installments, the first installment being due six (6) months after the date of termination and each subsequent installment being due on
January 31 of each year, such that the aggregate present value of all such “termination payments,” whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, will be as close as possible to, but not exceed, 299% of Executive’s base amount,
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. However, if all or any portion of the “termination payments” are to be made in substantially equal installments, and such installment payments would be less than $25,000 per year or
would span a period of greater than twenty (20) years, then Executive would be paid, in lump sum six (6) months after date of termination, the maximum amount of “termination payments” that would not cause the “total
parachute payments” to exceed 299% of the Executive’s base amount (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code). 
 8.
Executive’s Obligation to Not Compete and Refrain from Competing Unfairly: 
 8.1. Executive acknowledges and agrees
that he serves in a special capacity for Employer and Subsidiary pursuant to which he will acquire unique knowledge of the operations and business of Employer and Subsidiary and, as such, will not be engaged in a common calling. Executive further
acknowledges and agrees that he has been granted access to and will continue to be granted access to secret and confidential information of the Employer. During the existence of Executive’s employment by Employer and Subsidiary hereunder and,
if the employment terminated by Employer or Executive for any reason, for a period of three (3) years from the date on which he shall cease to be employed by Employer or Subsidiary, Executive shall not, acting alone or in conjunction with
others, directly or indirectly, and whether as principal, agent, officer, director, partner, employee, consultant, broker, dealer or otherwise, in any of the Business Territories (as defined below), engage in any business in competition with the
business conducted by Employer, Subsidiary or any subsidiary of Employer or Subsidiary, whether for his own account or otherwise, or solicit, canvass or accept any business or transaction for or from any other company or business in competition with
such business of Employer or Subsidiary in any of the Business Territories. For purposes hereof, the term “Business Territories” means the geographical regions within the geographic borders of each State in which Employer or Subsidiary is
doing business during the term of this Agreement and (in the case of post-employment non-competition obligations) at the date of the termination of Executive’s employment with Employer and Subsidiary and any State in which Employer had
reasonable prospects of engaging in business during the non competition period following termination of employment. 
 8.2. It
is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of Section 8.1 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of the State of Texas. Accordingly, if any particular portion of Section 8.1
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, Section 8.1 shall be deemed amended to (i) reform the particular portion to provide for such maximum restrictions as will be valid and enforceable or if that is not possible, then
(ii) delete therefrom the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable. 
 8.3. In addition to the other
obligations agreed to by Executive in this Agreement, Executive agrees that during his employment with Employer or Subsidiary and following the termination of his employment by Employer and Subsidiary he shall not at any time, directly or
indirectly, (a) induce, entice, or solicit any employee of Employer or Subsidiary to leave his employment, or engage in any discussions or communications with any employee of Employer or Subsidiary concerning such employee’s employment or
the possibility of such employee’s leaving his employment or (b) contact, communicate or solicit any customer of Employer or Subsidiary derived from any customer list, customer lead, mail, printed matter or other information secured from
Employer, Subsidiary or their present or past employees, or (c) in any other manner use any customer lists or customer leads, mail, email addresses, telephone numbers, printed material or material of Employer or Subsidiary relating thereto.

Attention: Chris A. Choate 

Executive Vice President, 

Chief Financial Officer and 

Treasurer 
 or to such other
names or addresses as Employer, Subsidiary or Executive, as the case may be, shall designate by notice to the other party hereto in the manner specified in this Section 9.1. 

9.2. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employer, its successors, legal representatives and assigns, and
upon Executive, his heirs, executors, administrators, representatives and assigns. Executive agrees that his rights and obligations hereunder are personal to him and may not be assigned without the express written consent of Employer and Subsidiary.

 9.3. This Agreement may not be modified in any respect by any verbal statement, representation or agreement made by any
employee, officer, or representative of Employer or Subsidiary or by any written agreement unless signed by an officer of Employer who is expressly authorized by Employer to execute such document. 

9.4. (a) If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application. 

(b) Without intending to limit the remedies available to Employer or Subsidiary, it is mutually understood and agreed that
Executive’s services are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character giving them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law, and, therefore, in
the event of a breach by Executive, Employer shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise. 
 (c)
Executive acknowledges that Sections 4, and 8 are expressly for the benefit of Employer and Subsidiary, that Employer and Subsidiary would be irreparably injured by a 

 

 – 9 – 

 
violation of Section 4 and/or 8 and that Employer or Subsidiary would have no adequate remedy at law in the event of such violation. Therefore, Executive acknowledges and agrees that
injunctive relief, specific performance or any other appropriate equitable remedy (without any bond or other security being required) are appropriate remedies to enforce compliance by Employer with Section 4 and Section 8. 

9.5. Executive acknowledges that, from time to time, Employer or Subsidiary may establish, maintain and distribute employee manuals or
handbooks or personnel policy manuals, and officers or other representatives of Employer or Subsidiary may make written or oral statements relating to personnel policies and procedures. Such manuals, handbooks and statements are intended only for
general guidance. No policies, procedures or statements of any nature by or on behalf of Employer or Subsidiary (whether written or oral, and whether or not contained in any employee manual or handbook or personnel policy manual), and no acts or
practices of any nature shall be construed to modify this Agreement or to create express or implied obligations of any nature to Executive. 

9.6. The laws of the State of Texas will govern the interpretation, validity and effect of this Agreement without regard to the place of
execution or the place for performance thereof, and Employer and Executive agree that the state and federal courts situated in Tarrant County, Texas shall have personal jurisdiction over Employer and Executive to hear all disputes arising under this
Agreement. This Agreement is to be at least partially performed in Tarrant County, Texas, and, as such, Employer and Executive agree that venue shall be proper with the state or federal courts in Tarrant County, Texas to hear such disputes. In the
event either Employer or Executive is not able to effect service of process upon the other with respect to such disputes, Employer and Executive expressly agree that the Secretary of State for the State of Texas shall be an agent of Employer and/or
the Executive to receive service of process on behalf of Employer and/or the Executive with respect to such disputes. 
 10. Additional
Instruments: 
 Executive and Employer shall execute and deliver any and all additional instruments and agreements that may
be necessary or proper to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
