AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this
 _____ 
day of

 _____ 
, 2010 (the “Commencement Date”), by and between ViewPoint Bank (which, together with
any successor thereto which executes and delivers the assumption agreement required by Section 8(a)
hereof or which otherwise becomes bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by
agreement, operation of law or otherwise, is hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”), and

 _____ 
(the “Employee”).

WHEREAS, the Employee now serves in the position of
 _____ 
of the Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Bank (the “Compensation Committee”) believes it is
in the best interests of the Bank to enter into this Agreement with the Employee to assure
continuity of management of the Bank and to reinforce and to encourage the continued dedication of
the Employee to the Employee’s assigned duties; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee has approved and authorized the execution of this
Agreement with the Employee;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and
agreements of the parties herein, it is AGREED as follows:

1. Certain Definitions.

“Affiliate” means any entity required to be part of an affiliated group (as defined in
Code Section 1504, without regard to subsection (b) thereof) that includes the Bank.

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

“Commencement Date” means the date of this Agreement.

“Date of Termination” means the date upon which the Employee experiences a Separation
from Service.

“Involuntary Termination” means the termination of the employment of Employee (i)
by the Bank, without the Employee’s express written consent; or (ii) by the Employee by reason of a
material diminution of or interference with his duties, responsibilities or benefits, including any
of the following actions unless consented to in writing by the Employee: (1) a requirement that the
Employee be based at any place other than Plano, Texas, or within a radius of 35 miles from the
location of the Bank’s administrative offices as of the Commencement Date, except for reasonable
travel on Bank business; (2) a material demotion of the Employee; (3) a material reduction in the
number or seniority of personnel reporting to the Employee other than as part of a Bank-wide
reduction in staff; and (4) a reduction in the

Employee’s salary, other than as part of an overall program applied uniformly and with equitable
effect to all members of the senior management of the Bank. The term “Involuntary Termination” does
not include Termination for Cause, retirement, death, disability, or suspension or temporary or
permanent prohibition from participation in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs under Section 8 of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act.

 

 

 

“One-Year Term” means the 365-day period commencing on the date following the
Employee’s Separation from Service.

“Section 409A” means Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance of
general applicability issued thereunder.

“Separation from Service” shall have the same meaning as in Section 409A, taking into
account the rules and presumptions provided for in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) or any
successor regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining whether the
Employee is entitled to a payment on account of Involuntary Termination under Section 2 of this
Agreement, and for purposes of determining the Employee’s One-Year Term, the term “Separation from
Service” shall require the complete cessation of services to the Bank and all Affiliates.

“Termination for Cause” and “Terminated for Cause” mean termination of the
employment of the Employee because of the Employee’s personal dishonesty, willful misconduct,
breach of a fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties,
willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar
offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or (except as provided below) material breach of any
provision of this Agreement. No act or failure to act by the Employee shall be considered willful
unless the Employee acted or failed to act with an absence of good faith and without a reasonable
belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Bank. The Employee shall
not be deemed to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
the Employee a copy of a resolution, duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the entire membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board duly called
and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the
Employee, together with the Employee’s counsel, to be heard before the Board), stating that in the
good faith opinion of the Board of Directors the Employee has engaged in conduct described in the
preceding sentence and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be a period of one year beginning on the
Commencement Date, subject to earlier termination as provided herein. On the first anniversary of
the Commencement Date, and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be
extended for a period of one year in addition to the then-remaining term, provided that
within the 90-day period prior to such anniversary, the Compensation Committee explicitly reviews
and approves the extension. Reference herein to the term of this Agreement shall refer to both
such initial term and such extended terms.

3. Severance Benefits; Mitigation; Conditions for Payment.

(a) (1) If the Employee experiences an Involuntary Termination, the Bank shall (i) continue to
pay the Employee’s base salary, as in effect on the Termination Date, for the One-Year Term, and
(ii) provide to the Employee during the One-Year Term, at the Bank’s expense, the hospitalization,
medical, dental, prescription drug and other health benefits required to be provided under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended from time to time (“COBRA”).
Benefits provided under (ii) above shall not extend the period during which the Employee is
entitled to benefits under COBRA.

(2) To the extent the taxable payments under Section 3(a)(1) would be considered deferred
compensation and the Employee is considered a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A), no
deferred compensation shall be paid until the 185th day following the Employee’s
Separation

 

2

 

from Service (and any deferred compensation the payment of which is delayed on account of the
foregoing shall be paid on such 185th day). The preceding sentence shall be applied by
(i) treating as much of the payment due under Section 3(a)(1) as “separation pay due to involuntary
separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9))
(“Separation Pay”) as is possible, so that such Separation Pay may be paid without regard to the
preceding sentence, and (ii) treating the Separation Pay as paid prior to the deferred
compensation, to the extent permitted by Section 409A.

(3) No payment shall be made under Section 3(a) that would cause the Bank to be
“undercapitalized” for purposes of 12 C.F.R. Part 225 or any successor provision.

(b) Amounts received by the Employee with respect to services performed by the Employee as an
employee or independent contractor of any nature during the One-Year Term (regardless of the manner
paid, including but not limited to wages, bonuses, self-employment income, deferred compensation,
stock or other equity-based compensation, performance or incentive-based compensation, fringe
benefits, and contributions to a qualified plan, and regardless of when paid) shall reduce the
amounts payable by the Bank under Section 3(a)(1)(i) on a dollar for dollar basis (the “Mitigation
Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts paid from a deferred compensation plan,
tax-qualified retirement plan (within the meaning of Code Section 401(a)) or equity-based
compensation plan sponsored or maintained by the Bank or any Affiliate shall not be taken into
account in determining the Employee’s Mitigation Amount. Upon request by the Bank, the Employee
shall provide such information as is necessary to determine the Mitigation Amount. If there are
Mitigation Amounts, the Bank may reduce or suspend payments under this Agreement, or seek recovery
from the Employee.

(c) During the One-Year Term, the Employee shall be provided with reasonable outplacement
services. The manner and type of outplacement services provided to the Employee shall be
determined by the Bank in its sole discretion, and may be different than the outplacement services
provided to other Employees.

(d) Payments under this Section 3 are subject to the Employee’s full compliance with the
requirement of Section 4. If the provisions of Section 4 are violated, the Bank may reduce or
eliminate payments described in this Section 3, or seek appropriate recovery.

(e) Payments under this Section 3 are subject to the Employee’s executing a release
substantially in the form provided for in Exhibit A attached hereto.

4. Future Conduct and Obligations.

(a) Nondisparagement. The Employee, for himself and for his family (i.e., parents,
siblings and children), heirs, dependents, assigns, agents, executors, administrators, trustees and
legal representatives agrees that he will not (and will use his best efforts to cause such
affiliates to not) at any time engage in any form of conduct, or make any statements or
representations, that disparage or otherwise impair the reputation, goodwill, or commercial
interests of the Bank, any Affiliates or any of their agents, officers, directors, employees and/or
stockholders. The Bank agrees to not issue any press release or other statement that disparages or
otherwise impairs the Employee’s business reputation. The foregoing shall not be violated by: (i)
truthful statements by either party in response to legal process or required governmental testimony
or filings; (ii) statements by the officers or directors of the Bank that they in good faith
believe are necessary or appropriate to make in connection with performing their duties to the Bank
or an Affiliate; or (iii) statements by the Employee that he in good faith believes are necessary
or appropriate to make to refute statements of the Bank, or the officers or directors of the Bank.

 

3

 

(b) Cooperation. The Employee agrees to reasonably assist and cooperate with the Bank
(and its outside counsel) in connection with the defense or prosecution of any claim that may be
made or threatened against or by the Bank or any Affiliate, or in connection with any ongoing or
future investigation or dispute or claim of any kind involving the Bank or any Affiliate, including
any proceeding before any arbitral, administrative, judicial, legislative, or other body or agency,
including preparing for and testifying in any proceeding to the extent such claims, investigations
or proceedings relate to services performed by the Employee, pertinent knowledge possessed by the
Employee, or any act or omission by the Employee. The Employee’s agreement under this Section 4(b)
is limited such that any assistance and cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the
Employee’s subsequent employment. The Bank will reimburse the Employee for the reasonable out-of
pocket expenses incurred as a result of such cooperation.

(c) Nonsolicitation. Until the termination of the One-Year Term, the Employee shall
not, directly or indirectly, without the written consent of the Bank (i) initiate contact with or
solicit any employee or customer of the Bank or any Affiliate; (ii) hire or otherwise engage any
such employee or former employee; (iii) induce or otherwise counsel, advise or encourage any such
employee to leave the employment of the Bank or an Affiliate; or (iv) induce any supplier,
licensor, licensee, business relation, representative or agent of the Bank to terminate or modify
its relationship with the Bank or any Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship
between the Bank or any Affiliate and such other party.

(d) Return of Property. Immediately prior to the Employees Date of Termination, the
Employee will return to the Bank (or destroy, upon written consent of the Bank) any and all files
or other property (both tangible and intellectual) of the Bank without retaining any copies or
extracts thereof in any form or manner, including electronic or web-based. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Employee has no duty with respect to any information that has been or is generally
available to the public.

(e) Reasonableness. The Employee acknowledges that the future conduct and obligation
provisions of this Section 4 will not prevent him or her from obtaining other gainful employment or
cause him or her any undue hardship and are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the
legitimate interests of the Bank.

5. Full Discharge. The Employee agrees and acknowledges that the payments and benefits
provided in this Agreement are in full discharge of any and all liabilities and obligations of the
Bank to the Employee, monetarily or with respect to employee benefits or otherwise, including any
and all obligations arising under any alleged written or oral employment agreement, policy, plan or
procedure of the Bank, or any Affiliate.

6. Certain Forfeitures in Event of Breach or Other Liability to the Bank. The Employee
acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the
Employee materially breaches any obligation under this Agreement, or there is a final determination
by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator, or an agreement by the Employee as part of a
settlement, that the Employee is otherwise liable to the Bank or its Affiliates, the Bank retains
the right to recoup any and all payments and benefits provided for in Section 3, any damages
suffered by the Bank or its Affiliates, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with
such recovery and, to the extent that such benefits have not been fully disbursed to the Employee,
the Bank reserves its rights to stop all future disbursements of such benefits, except to the
extent that such action is prohibited by law or would result in the invalidation of the release
provided by the Employee under this Agreement.

7. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of a dispute arising out of this Agreement,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to Employee resulting from such dispute shall be paid by Bank
only if Employee prevails in such dispute.

 

4

 

8. No Assignments.

(a) This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and neither party may assign or
delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of
the other party; provided, however, that the Bank shall require any successor or assign
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Bank, by an assumption agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform it
if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Failure of the Bank to obtain such an
assumption agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a
breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Employee to compensation and benefits from the Bank
in the same amount and on the same terms that Employee would be entitled to hereunder if an event
of Involuntary Termination occurred. For purposes of implementing the provisions of this Section
8(a), the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of
Termination.

(b) This Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the Employee’s personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators,
successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. In the event of the death of the Employee,
unless otherwise provided herein, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid to the Employee’s
devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Employee’s estate.

9. Deferred Payments. If following a termination of the Employee, the aggregate
payments to be made by the Bank under this Agreement and all other plans or arrangements maintained
by the Company or any of the Consolidated Subsidiaries would exceed the limitation on deductible
compensation contained in Code Section 162(m) in any calendar year, any such amounts in excess of
such limitation shall be mandatorily deferred (without interest) to a calendar year such that the
amount to be paid to the Employee in such calendar year, including deferred amounts, does not
exceed such limitation, provided, however, that such deferral shall not extend past when
the deferred amount must be paid pursuant to Section 409A.

10. Regulatory Provisions.

(a) Temporary Suspension or Prohibition. If the Employee is suspended and/or
temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served
under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1), the Bank’s
obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its
discretion (i) pay the Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while its obligations
under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate in whole or in part any of its obligations
which were suspended.

(b) Permanent Suspension or Prohibition. If the Employee is removed and/or
permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the FDIA, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1), all
obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order,
but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.

(c) Default of the Bank. If the Bank is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of
the FDIA), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this
provision shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties.

 

5

 

(d) Termination by Regulators. All obligations under this Agreement shall be
terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for
the continued operation of the Bank: (1) at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide
assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA;
or (2) by the FDIC or the OTS, at the time either agency approves a supervisory merger to resolve
problems related to operation of the Bank. Any rights of the parties that have already vested,
however, shall not be affected by any such action.

(e) Resumption of Payments. The payment of any amounts which are delayed on account of
an event or circumstance described in this Section 10 shall be paid as soon as the Bank reasonably
anticipates that the payment will again be permissible.

11. Delivery of Notices. For the purposes of this Agreement, all notices and other
communications to any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
when delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as

employment or impose on the Bank any obligation to retain the Employee, to change the status of the
Employee’s employment, or to change the Bank’s policies regarding termination of employment.

16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas
to the extent that federal law does not govern.

Agreement shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration, conducted before a panel of three
arbitrators in a location selected by the Employee within 100 miles of such Employee’s job location
with the Bank, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction.

18. Tax Matters. The Bank may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement
or otherwise such federal, state and local taxes as are required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation. The parties agree that the payments and benefits provided under this

Exhibit 10.1

MEADOWBROOK INSURANCE GROUP, INC.

2002 AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

     Shares of Restricted Stock are hereby awarded effective February 23, 2010 (the “Grant Date”),
by Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. a Michigan corporation (the “Company”)                                         
(the “Grantee”) in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

     1. Share Award. The Company hereby awards to the Grantee                                 shares (“Shares”)
of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc.
2002 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (the
“Plan”), and upon the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions in the Plan and as
hereinafter set forth in this Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”). A copy of the Plan, as
currently in effect, has been provided to the Grantee and is incorporated herein by reference and
is attached hereto.

     2. Restricted Stock Vesting Period. During the period commencing on the date of this
Agreement and terminating on February 24, 2014 (the “Restricted Stock Vesting Period”), Shares with
respect to which the Restricted Stock Vesting Period has not lapsed may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered by the Grantee except, in the event of the death of
the Grantee, by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a “domestic relations
order,” as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code, or as hereinafter provided.

     Provided the Grantee does not commit an act that would result in the forfeiture of Shares as
provided in this Section or terminate employment in a manner that would result in a forfeiture of
Shares pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, Grantee shall become vested in                      Shares
immediately as of the Grant Date and the remaining Shares shall become vested in accordance with
the following schedule:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Date of Vesting	 	Number of Shares Vested	 
	February 23, 2011
	 	 	 	 
	February 23, 2012
	 	 	 	 
	February 23, 2013
	 	 	 	 
	February 23, 2014
	 	 	 	 

The Committee referred to in Section 3 of the Plan shall have the authority, in its discretion, to
accelerate the time at which any or all of the restrictions shall lapse with respect to any Shares
or to remove any or all of such restrictions, whenever the Committee may determine that such action
is appropriate by reason of changes in applicable tax or other laws, changes in circumstances
occurring after the commencement of the Restricted Stock Vesting Period, or for any other reason.

 

 

     Grantee shall forfeit all Shares that have not yet become vested if: (i) the Grantee violates
the terms of Confidential Information Agreement between Grantee and the Company; or (ii) the
Grantee violates the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of any employment agreement
with the Company or one of its affiliates. The Company shall only deliver Shares to the Grantee
if the vesting dates in the above schedule occur without the Grantee forfeiting Shares pursuant to
this Agreement, except in the event the Shares otherwise became vested pursuant to this Section, or
Section 7, in which case the Company shall deliver the Shares to the Grantee upon such other
vesting event (e.g., termination by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause, termination of
employment by the Grantee for Good Reason, termination due to death or Disability or upon a Change
in Control).

     3. Termination of Service. Except as provided in Section 7 below, in the event a
Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or its
Subsidiaries for Cause or the employment with Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the
Grantee without Good Reason, as such term is defined in the employment agreement between the
Company and Grantee dated January 1, 2009 (the “Employment Agreement”), the Grantee shall forfeit
all Shares that have not yet vested. In the event Grantee’s employment with the Company and its
Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause, by the Grantee for
Good Reason or due to the Grantee’s death or Disability, the Grantee (or the Grantee’s beneficiary)
shall become vested in all Shares that have not yet vested.

     4. Certificates for the Shares. The Company shall issue certificate(s) for the Shares
in the name of the Grantee, and shall hold such certificates for the benefit of the Grantee until
the Grantee becomes vested in such Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Such certificates shall bear
the following legend:

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented
hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture)
contained in the Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc. 2002 Amended and Restated
Stock Option Plan and/or the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan. Copies of such
Plans are on file in the office of the Secretary of Meadowbrook Insurance
Group, Inc., 26255 American Drive, Southfield, MI, 48034-6112.”

     The Grantee further agrees that simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the
Grantee shall execute stock powers in favor of the Company with respect to the Shares and that the
Grantee shall promptly deliver such stock powers to the Company.

     In lieu of issuing actual certificate(s), the Company shall have the option to cause, or have
such Shares electronically issued to the Grantee or the Grantee’s broker for recording.

     5. Grantee’s Rights. Subject to all limitations provided in this Agreement, the
Grantee shall have all the rights of a stockholder, including, but not limited to, the right to
receive all dividends paid on the Shares and the right to vote such Shares, until such Shares have
vested.

2

 

     6. Expiration of Restricted Stock Vesting Period. Upon the lapse or expiration of the
Restricted Stock Vesting Period with respect to a portion of the Shares, the Company shall deliver
to the Grantee (or in the case of a deceased Grantee, to his legal representative) the certificate
in respect of such Shares and the related stock power held by the Company pursuant to Section 4
above. The Shares as to which the Restricted Stock Vesting Period shall have lapsed or expired
shall be free of the restrictions referred to in Section 2 above, and such certificate shall not
bear the legend provided for in Section 4 above.

     7. Effect of Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company,
as defined in the Employment Agreement, Grantee shall, immediately following the effective date of
the Change in Control, become fully in all Shares subject to this Agreement.

     8. Delivery and Registration of Shares of Common Stock. The Company’s obligation to
deliver shares hereunder shall, if the Committee so requests, be conditioned upon the Grantee’s
compliance with the terms and provisions of Section 13 of the Plan.

     9. Plan and Plan Interpretations as Controlling. The Shares hereby awarded and the
terms and conditions herein set forth are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, which are controlling. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined in this
Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan. All determinations and
interpretations made in the discretion of the Committee shall be binding and conclusive upon the
Grantee or his legal representatives with regard to any questions arising hereunder or under the
Plan.

     10. Grantee Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the Grantee’s employment (which is at-will employment), or
otherwise impose upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries any obligation to employ or accept the
services of the Grantee. Grantee is a terminable, at-will employee of the Company.

     11. Withholding Tax. Upon the termination of the Restricted Stock Vesting Period with
respect to any Shares (or at any such earlier time, if any, that an election is made by the Grantee
under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor thereto), the Grantee may pay cash to cover
applicable withholding and employment taxes or the Company may withhold from any payment or
distribution made under the Plan sufficient Shares to cover any applicable withholding and
employment taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all dividends paid with respect
to Shares the amount of any taxes which the Company is required to withhold with respect to such
dividend payments.

     12. Amendment. The Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company or
modify or amend the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any provision hereof which may adversely affect the
Grantee without the Grantee’s (or his legal representative’s) written consent.

     13. Grantee Acceptance. The Grantee shall signify his acceptance of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement by signing in the space provided below, by signing the attached

3

 

stock powers, and by returning a signed copy hereof and of the attached stock powers to the
Company.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of
February 23, 2010.
