Xxxxx, XX 00000

Dear Xxxx:

On or about December 23, 2008, you entered into an agreement pursuant to which you would act as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Xxxxxx Investment Management Corp. (the “Company”), the surviving entity following the merger of JWH Holding Company, LLC (“JWHHC”) with Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (“HCM”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into between JWHHC and HCM. You have been acting in that capacity since April 17, 2009, however, you and the Company agree that there is a need to clarify or amend certain of the provisions of your December 23, 2008 agreement. This letter is intended to amend and restate your initial agreement and this agreement (the “Agreement”) will be the sole obligation of the Company with respect to your employment; it being specifically understood that this Agreement does not supersede any provisions of any individual long term incentive or other benefit plans or programs to which you may be a party. The term of this Agreement shall continue until the close of business on April 17, 2012 (the “Term”). Thereafter, the Term shall automatically extend annually for one year terms (any then current period of extension being referred to as the Term) unless and until terminated as provided herein. While employed during the Term, you agree to devote, during normal business hours during business days, your full time and efforts to advancing the Company’s interests; provided, however, that you may continue engaging in the other business and investment activities you are currently engaged in so long as such activities are not directly competitive with the Company’s business and do not prevent you from carrying out your duties as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The purpose of this amended and restated letter is to ratify and confirm your acceptance of the terms of your employment as set forth herein. Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the definition set forth in the Appendix hereto.

1. As the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, you shall report to and serve at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company. In your capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, you will be responsible for directing all aspects of the business of the Company.

2. During the Term of this Agreement your annual compensation package will be as follows:

	(a)		Base Salary Your Base Salary will be $500,000 per year which will be subject to annual review and increase (but not decrease) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee and paid in accordance with the payroll practices of the Company, as they may change from time to time.
	(b)		Bonus
			Your annual target bonus will be 100% of your Base Salary, or $500,000 at your current Base Salary, with the potential to increase your bonus to a maximum of 200% of your Base Salary (i.e., $1,000,000 at your current Base Salary) subject to increase as your Base Salary increases, provided, however, that the actual amount of your bonus will be dependent upon the achievement of the Company’s annual financial and other goals consistent with those established for other members of executive management, as well as the accomplishment of any individual objectives, established annually by the Board of Directors (the actual bonus awarded in any given year, which may be greater or less than your target bonus is referred to herein as your “Annual Bonus” for that year). Except as provided in sections 6(a), (b) and (d) below, to receive any Annual Bonus, you must be employed through the end of the year for which the bonus is payable (the “Bonus Year”). The bonus for a Bonus Year will be payable to you during the next following year (the “Bonus Payment Year”) immediately upon the closing of the Company’s books for the Bonus Year, but not later than March 14 of the Bonus Payment Year (the “Bonus Payment Date”).
	(c)		Benefits

	(i)		You will be entitled to receive from the Company prompt reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by you in the performance of your duties hereunder, in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the Company relating to reimbursement of business expenses incurred by Company directors, officers or employees in effect at any time during the 12 month period preceding the date you incur the expenses; provided, however, that any such expense reimbursement will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incur the expense, will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, and cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.
	(ii)		Participation in the Company’s group life and health insurance benefit programs generally applicable to executives in Tampa in accordance with their terms, as they may change from time to time. Such group life and health insurance benefits shall be at least comparable to those provided to the chief executive officer of similar-size companies engaged in a business similar to the Company’s business.

-Page 2-

	(iii)		Participation in the Company’s retirement plan, generally applicable to salaried employees in Tampa as it may change from time to time and in accordance with its terms. Your eligibility to participate will be consistent with the requirements of ERISA. Such retirement plan benefits shall be at least comparable to those provided to the chief executive officer of similar-size companies engaged in a business similar to the Company’s business.
	(iv)		Participation in the Company’s long-term incentive plan(s), as such plan(s) may be in effect from time to time. For 2010 your annual long-term incentive opportunity will have an economic value of $625,000 as of the effective date of the award. Thereafter, the annual economic value shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. The components of any award and the methodology for determining the economic value shall be as provided in the plan(s) or otherwise as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the plan(s), any award agreements shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In particular, with respect to the award of annual equity grants any such grants will (a) vest over a period that is no longer than one-third per year over three years, (b) option grants will have a minimum 10-year term, and (c) upon your death, Disability, your Constructive Termination, Retirement (except as otherwise provided below), or upon a Change in Control of the Company, vesting will accelerate. Subject to the foregoing, the specific terms of your annual long-term incentive opportunity will be mutually agreed upon and set forth in separate grant agreements.
	(v)		30 days of annual vacation to be used each year in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, as it may change from time to time.
	(vi)		You will receive a monthly auto allowance of $2,000, subject to the usual withholding taxes.
	(vii)		You may use company-owned, leased or chartered aircraft for your business travel as appropriate. However, you will not use any company-owned, leased or chartered aircraft for personal travel at company expense, except in the case of a family emergency and with the prior approval of the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, or in the event of his unavailability, the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee. You will not be required to reimburse the Company for the cost of any such pre-approved emergency travel, but the value of such travel will be taxable to you in accordance with applicable IRS regulations. You shall not pilot company aircraft or leased or chartered aircraft used for company business.
	(viii)		Your Benefits under this Agreement, including grants to you under the Company’s long-term incentive plan(s), will be subject to periodic review and increase by the Compensation Committee.

-Page 3-

(d) Recapitalization

Any equity award agreement will provide that in the event of any change in the capitalization of the Company such as a stock spilt or a corporate transaction such as a merger, consolidation, separation or otherwise, the number and class of RSU’s or options, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted by the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

3.		It is specifically agreed and understood that, notwithstanding any stated Term of this Agreement, your employment with the Company is to be at will, and either you or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice to the other; nothing herein or elsewhere constitutes or shall be construed as a commitment to employ you for any period of time.
4.		You agree that all inventions, improvements, trade secrets, reports, manuals, computer programs, systems, tapes and other ideas and materials developed or invented by you during the period of your employment with the Company, either solely or in collaboration with others, which relate to the actual or anticipated business or research of the Company, which result from or are suggested by any work you may do for the Company, or which result from use of the Company’s premises or the Company’s or its customers’ property (collectively, the “Developments”) shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. You hereby assign to the Company your entire right and interest in any such Developments, and will hereafter execute any documents in connection therewith that the Company may reasonably request.
5.		As an inducement to the Company to make this offer to you, you represent and warrant that you are not a party to any agreement or obligation for personal services that would prevent you from performing your duties as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company hereunder, and there exists no impediment or restraint, contractual or otherwise on your power, right or ability to accept this offer and to perform the duties and obligations specified herein.
6.		In the event of a termination or cessation of your employment with the Company for any reason, the Term shall expire (except as specifically provided herein) as of the date of such termination or cessation and the sole rights and obligations of the Company in connection with your termination shall be those provided under the relevant provision below.

(a) In the event of your death or Retirement during the Term, the Company will pay to you, your beneficiaries or your estate, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after your death or Retirement (with the exception of subsection (iii) below which will be paid in the Bonus Payment Year) (i) the unpaid Base Salary through the date of your death or Retirement, plus payment of any bonus amount payable to you (as determined by the Compensation Committee), in respect of any bonus period ended prior to your termination of employment

-Page 4-

			(collectively, the “Compensation Payments”), (ii) for any accrued but unused vacation days, to the extent and in the amounts, if any, provided under the Company’s usual policies and arrangements (the “Vacation Payment”), and (iii) the Annual Bonus, in respect of the fiscal year in which your termination occurs, multiplied by (x) the number of days prior to your termination during such fiscal year, divided by (y) 365 (the “Prorated Bonus”), which payment shall be made on the Bonus Payment Date for the year in which your death or Retirement occurs.
	(b)		In the event you suffer a Disability the Company may terminate your employment on written notice thereof, and the Company will pay you (i) amounts payable pursuant to the terms of any applicable disability insurance policy or similar arrangement (if any) that the Company maintains, (ii) the Compensation Payments, (iii) the Vacation Payment and (iv) the Prorated Bonus.
	(c)		In the event your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by you other than as a result of Constructive Termination, Disability, Retirement, or death, the Company will pay to you (i) unpaid Base Salary through the date of your termination, plus (ii) the Vacation Payment, and you will be entitled to no other compensation, except as otherwise due to you under applicable law or the terms of any applicable plan or program. You will not be entitled, among other things, to the payment of any unpaid bonus payments in respect of any period prior to your termination of employment.
	(d)		In the event you are subjected to Involuntary Termination other than for Cause, Disability or death, or you terminate your employment as a result of Constructive Termination, the Company will (i) pay to you the Compensation Payments, the Vacation Payment, and the Prorated Bonus, (ii) continue to pay your Base Salary then in effect and Annual Bonus (which shall be in an amount that is consistent with other Company executives of your level), for a period of 18 months after your termination, paid in the same periodic installments as such Base Salary and during the same Bonus Payment Year (as the case may be) as you would have been paid had you remained on the Company’s ordinary payroll during such period; and (iii) you will be entitled to continued participation in benefits, to the extent the plans allow, until the earlier of the 18 month anniversary of the termination date or until you are eligible to receive comparable benefits from subsequent employment. For purposes of clarification, the period of the foregoing severance for salary, bonus and benefits shall be 18 months regardless of how much time remains in the then current Term of this Agreement. For example, there shall be no additional period of severance if the balance of the then current Term at the time of termination exceeds 18 months, nor shall there be a reduction in severance if the balance of the then current Term at the time of termination is less than 18 months. Moreover, you will remain entitled to the foregoing severance notwithstanding the Company’s failure to extend any Term beyond its expiration date. Regarding your Annual Bonus, by way of example should you be terminated on June 30 of 2010, you will be paid the Prorated Bonus for the year in which you were terminated (which is equal to the Annual Bonus for such year prorated for the period from the Effective Date through June 30), plus the balance of the Bonus for 2010 (i.e., the Annual Bonus for the first six months of your 18 month severance period), plus the full Annual Bonus for 2011 (the Annual Bonus for the remaining 12 months of the

-Page 5-

			18 month severance period). Payment of the foregoing severance is subject to your execution, delivery and non-revocation of the release attached hereto as Appendix 2 within thirty (30) days following the termination of your employment, and your resignation, effective as of the date of your termination of employment, as an officer and/or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The COBRA election period will not commence until the expiration of that 18 month period. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year. Your right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Payment will be provided only if the filing of the claim for payment and completion of the reimbursement payment can reasonably be completed by the end of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred. In order to be entitled to the foregoing in the event of Constructive Termination, you must provide written notice, including details describing the basis of your claim, to the Company within 60 days of the occurrence of the event(s) giving rise to a claim of Constructive Termination and the Company will have 30 days to remedy any non-compliance. In the event the Company fails or is unable to remedy any non-compliance, the effective date of your termination of employment shall be 90 days from the date the Company received notice, unless otherwise agreed by you and the Company. Should you fail to provide the foregoing notice, you will thereafter be barred from receiving benefits based upon the events giving rise to the claim.
	(e)		Treatment of Grants of Equity — Any grants of equity that you may receive subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and the disposition of such awards in the event of the occurrence of any of the circumstances set forth in subsections (a) – (d) above, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan(s) or program(s) under which the awards are granted; provided, however, that to the extent not inconsistent with such plan(s) or program(s), any such awards will provide that, in the event of termination pursuant to (i) subsections (a) or (b) above, or as a result of Constructive Termination, all outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and any restrictions shall lapse (provided, however, that in the case of Retirement such immediate vesting will only apply to grants that vest after April 17, 2012 – any grants that are due to vest prior to April 17, 2012 but have not vested as of the time of Retirement shall be forfeited), or (ii) subsection (c) or (d) above, other than as a result of Constructive Termination, all unvested awards will be forfeited, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors to vest some or all of these awardd. For purposes of clarification, the restricted stock units awarded to you in connection with the spin-off of Xxxxxx Investment Management, LLC from Xxxxxx Industries on April 17, 2009 will not be subject to forfeiture under this Agreement. In the event of a Change of Control, you will not have the right to terminate your employment, other than as otherwise permitted in this Agreement; however, upon such Change of Control, all unvested equity will immediately vest and all restrictions on any stock awarded shall lapse.

7. Non-Compete. It is understood and agreed that the Company and you will have substantial relationships with specific businesses and personnel, prospective and existing, vendors, contractors, customers, and employees of the Company that result in the creation of customer goodwill. Therefore, except with respect to business and investment activities you are currently engaged in, following the termination of employment under this Agreement for any reason and continuing for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of such termination,

-Page 6-

so long as the Company or any subsidiary, affiliate, successor or assigns thereof is in the residential real estate mortgage servicing business or directly related businesses within the Restricted Area, unless the Board of Directors approves an exception, you shall not, directly or indirectly, for yourself or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person, persons, company, partnership, corporation, business entity or otherwise:

	(a)		Call upon, solicit, write, direct, divert, influence, or accept residential real estate mortgage servicing and directly related business (either directly or indirectly) with respect to any account or customer or prospective customer of the Company or any corporation controlling, controlled by, under common control with, or otherwise related to the Company, including but not limited to Xxxxxx Investment Management Corp., Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc., Xxxxxx Mortgage Company, or any other affiliated companies; or
	(b)		hire away any independent contractors or personnel of the Company and/or entice any such persons to leave the employ of the Company or its affiliated entities without the prior written consent of the Company

8. Non-Disparagement. Following the termination of employment under this Agreement for any reason and continuing for so long as the Company or any affiliate, successor or assigns thereof carries on the same business within the Restricted Area, neither you nor any director or executive officer of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, for yourself or itself or on behalf of, or in conjunction with, any other person, persons, company, partnership, corporation, business entity or otherwise:

	(a)		Make any statements or announcements or permit anyone to make any public statements or announcements concerning your termination with the Company, or
	(b)		Make any statements that are inflammatory, detrimental, slanderous, or negative in any way to the interests of you or the Company or its affiliated entities as the case may be.
	(c)		Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from testifying or responding truthfully to any request for discovery or testimony in any judicial or quasi-judicial, proceeding or any government inquiry, investigation or other proceeding.

9. You acknowledge and agree that you will respect and safeguard the Company’s property, trade secrets and confidential information. You acknowledge that the Company’s electronic communication systems (such as email and voicemail) are maintained to assist in the conduct of the Company’s business and that such systems and data exchanged or stored thereon are Company property. In the event that you leave the employ of the Company, you will not disclose any Company trade secrets or confidential information you acquired while an employee of the Company to any other person or entity, including without limitation, a subsequent employer, or use such information in any manner.

-Page 7-

10.		Tax Compliance Delay in Payment. If the Company reasonably determines that any payment or benefit due under this Agreement, or any other amount that may become due to you after termination of employment, is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and also determines that you are a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, upon your termination of employment for any reason other than death (whether by resignation or otherwise), no amount may be paid to you or on your behalf earlier than six months after the date of your termination of employment (or, if earlier, your death) if such payment would violate the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder, and payment shall be made, or commence to be made, as the case may be, on the date that is six months and one day after your termination of employment (or, if earlier, one day after your death). For this purpose, you will be considered a “specified employee” if you are employed by an employer that has its stock publicly traded on an established securities market or certain related entities have their stock traded on an established securities market and you are a “key employee”, with the exact meaning of “specified employee”, “key employee” and “publicly traded” defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Company hereby retains discretion to make determinations regarding the identification of “specified employees” and to take any necessary corporate action in connection with such determination.
11.		You acknowledge and agree that you have read this Agreement carefully, have been advised by the Company to consult with an attorney regarding its contents, and that you fully understand the same.
12.		It is agreed and understood that this acceptance letter shall constitute our entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all prior agreements, discussions, understandings and proposals (written or oral) relating to your employment with the Company. This letter agreement will be interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflicts of laws principles of such State. The parties hereto shall first seek to resolve any dispute over the terms and conditions or application of this Agreement through binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be heard by one arbitrator to be chosen as provided by the rules of the AAA and shall be held in Tampa, Florida. If you prevail in the dispute, the Company will pay your reasonable fees and costs in connection with the matter (including attorneys fees). Whether you have prevailed or not shall be determined by the arbitrator or if the arbitrator declines to determine whether or not you have prevailed, you will be deemed to have prevailed if, in the case of monetary damages you receive in excess of 50% of what you demanded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of section 7-9, the party that is in breach or in threatened breach acknowledges and agrees that the other party will suffer irreparable harm that is not subject to being cured with monetary damages and that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in a state court of the State of Florida.
13.		You and the Company intend that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively

-Page 8-

“Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined by you or the Company to not comply with Code Section 409A, the Company shall fully cooperate with you to reform the Agreement to correct such noncompliance to the extent permitted under any guidance, procedure, or other method promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service now or in the future that provides for such correction as a means to avoid or mitigate any taxes, interest, or penalties that would otherwise be incurred by you on account of such non-compliance.

     This Separation Agreement and General Release of Claims (“Release”) is entered into by and between Xxxxxx Investment Management Corp., and its subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, assigns, affiliates, insurers and related entities, (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Employer”) and ___(hereinafter “Employee”). In consideration for the mutual promises set forth below, Employer and Employee agree as follows:

     1. Employer and Employee are parties to a contract of employment (“Employment Contract”) to which this Release has been attached and incorporated by reference. Employee’s employment with Employer has been terminated and, pursuant to the terms of the Employment Contract, Employee must execute this Release in order to receive the severance set forth in the Employment Contract.

     2. In consideration for the promises and covenants set forth in the Employment Contract and this Release, including, specifically but without limitation, the general release set forth in paragraph 3 below, Employee will be paid [insert the severance set forth in the appropriate subsection of section 6 of the Employment Contract]. Payments to Employee will be made at such times as are set forth in the Employment Contract.

     3. Employee agrees, on behalf of himself, and his heirs, successors in interest and assigns that, except as specifically provided herein, Employee will not file, or cause to be filed, any charges, lawsuits, or other actions of any kind in any forum against Employer and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns and does hereby further release and discharge Employer and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from any and all claims, causes of action, rights, demands, and obligations of whatever nature kind or character which you may have, known or unknown, against them (including those seeking equitable relief) alleging, without limitation, breach of contract or any tort, legal actions under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1966, as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, (the “ADEA”) (except to the extent claims under the ADEA arise after the date on which this Release is signed by Employee), the Americans with Disability Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, or any State, Federal, or local law concerning age, race, religion, national origin, handicap, or any other form of discrimination, or any other State, Federal, or common law or regulation relating in any way to, Employee’s employment with the Company or Employee’s separation from the Company, including any and all future claims, except claims arising in connection with rights and obligations under this Release or as specifically provided in paragraph 4 or 6 below.
