In connection with the resignation, Waterstone Mortgage Corporation ("Waterstone" or the "Company") entered into a Resignation and Release Agreement (the "Agreement") with Mr. Egenhoefer.  The terms of the Agreement modify an Employment Agreement to which Mr. Egenhoefer and the Company are presently parties.  Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Egenhoefer elects to resign his employment with the Company effective September 15, 2018.  Following his resignation of employment, Mr. Egenhoefer will continue to serve as a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of Waterstone Mortgage Corporation through December of 2018.
The terms of the Agreement provide for a severance payment in the amount of $300,000, payable in three installments of $100,000 on the following dates: December 15, 2018, March 15, 2019 and June 15, 2019.  The Agreement also provides for the acceleration of vesting of 10,000 options to purchase shares of Waterstone Financial, Inc., from March 4, 2019, to July 27, 2018.
In consideration of the compensation to be paid to Mr. Egenhoefer under the Agreement, Mr. Egenhoefer agrees to the following:
(a)
For the period equal to 6 months from the Resignation Date, Mr. Egenhoefer will not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit the business of any Restricted Customer for purposes which seek to compete with the Company, or (ii) provide non-menial and non-clerical services of the type he performed for the Company anytime during the year preceding the Resignation Date with a Significant Competitor.
(b)
For the period equal to 6 months from the Resignation Date, Mr. Egenhoefer will not provide services that are substantially similar services to those he provided to the Company during the year preceding the Resignation Date to any Significant Competitor.
(c)
For one (1) year following the Resignation Date, Mr. Egenhoefer will not directly or, working in conjunction with another or others, (i) encourage any Covered Employee to terminate his/her employment with the Company or to diminish the work or efforts any such employee provides to the Company, or (ii) solicit such an individual for employment outside the Company or its affiliated entities.
(d)
For one (1) year following the Resignation Date, Mr. Egenhoefer will not use or disclose any Confidential Information.  The term "Confidential Information" means (i) all non-Trade Secret information of, about or related to the Company or its affiliated entities or provided to the Company or its affiliated entities by any of their customers; and (ii) that is not generally known to the public or the competitors of the Company or the competitors of any of its affiliated entities.
