AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

1. RESIGNATION AS OFFICER AND DIRECTOR.  Effective 12:00 p.m. on September 16, 2015, Executive has resigned his employment as an officer of HRB and BHR and as an officer,  Director of HRB, BHR, Shore, Gateway Bank Mortgage, Inc., Gateway Insurance Services, Inc., GBTC, Inc, GBTC VA, Inc., Harbor Asset Servicing, Inc., Shore Investments, Inc., Shore Auto Finance, Inc., Shore Marine Finance, Inc., and as a manager of DNJ Gateway Bank Mortgage, LLC.  Executive further agrees that he has resigned any other position of employment or trust in any way related to the Bank.  Executive agrees to promptly sign all appropriate documentation, if any, prepared by the Bank to facilitate the resignations contemplated in this paragraph 1.

 

2. PAY.  The Bank will pay Executive:

 

a.  Executive’s Base Salary through the Separation Date, as set forth in Executive’s August 19, 2014 Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”); and

 

  

1

  

b.  Accrued but unused paid time off of 101.78 hours ($26,912.98).

 

Such payments will occur on or before the Bank’s regular payroll on September 30, 2015.

 

Separately, and in connection with Executive’s execution of this Agreement, without revocation, and the promises and actions by him therein, the Bank will, additionally, pay Executive $2,246,640.00, in a lump sum.

 

Such lump sum payment will be made within seven (7) days after the release in paragraph 5, below, becomes effective pursuant to paragraph 14.  All payments to Executive made pursuant to this paragraph 2 are subject to required federal and state tax withholding.

 

3. COBRA CONTINUATION.  At Executive’s option, he may continue participation in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefits plans, in the Bank’s group health, dental and vision plan pursuant to the Consolidate Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”).  If Executive timely elects COBRA continuation group health, dental or vision coverage, he will be obligated to pay the portion of the full COBRA cost of coverage equal to an active employee’s share of premiums for coverage during the applicable plan year; the Bank’s share is taxable income to the Executive.

If, at any time following the Separation Date, Executive (and his covered dependents, if applicable) are eligible for qualifying health care coverage through a subsequent employer that is the same or substantially the same as the coverage provided under the Bank health, dental and vision plan, the Bank’s obligation(s) with respect to the payments due under this paragraph may be terminated by the Bank upon 30 days’ notice to Executive.

 

4. NO ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION.  Executive further agrees and acknowledges that, except as explicitly set forth in paragraph 2 of this Agreement, the Bank owes the Executive no wages, bonus, severance or other  employment  related compensation under the terms of his August 19, 2014 Employment Agreement or otherwise.  Nothing herein is intended to, or does, limit the Executive’s entitlement to any compensation and/or benefits under any ERISA plans or equity awards to the extent they have vested on or before the Separation Date; the only plans or equity awards under which Executive has vested benefits are: i) May 27, 2008 Supplemental Retirement Agreement, subject to the limitation on the maximum aggregate amount payable to Executive set forth in Section 3(d) of the Employment Agreement; ii) the Bank’s 401k Retirement Savings Plan, iii) August 22, 2014 Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement; iv) August 22, 2014 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement; v) December 14, 2012, 2011 Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (settled on 3/25/15); vi) December 14, 2012, 2012 Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement vii) July 24, 2013, 2013 Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement; viii) June 25, 2014, 2014 Director Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement; and ix) BHR Directors Retirement Plan Agreement.

  (b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Assignment/the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Seller when due.

  (c) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 6.02 within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company.
   
  6.03 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:
   
  (a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and
   
  (b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.
   
  6.04 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.21 and this Article VI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

	35

	  

	 

   
  8.04 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.
   
  (a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.04(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.04(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
   
  	 
	36

	  

	 

   
  (b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.04(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.04(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
   
  (c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
   
  8.05 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 12%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.
   
  	 
	37

	  

	 

   
  8.06 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.
   
  8.07 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 5.07 and Section 9.12, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VI and this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.
