Yeah, I'm confused about the Easter Exodus connection too...unless you're talking about the connection to the Passover. The death of Jesus took place right after the celebration of the Passover, when Jews remember how the angel of death passed them over while taking the first born of the Egyptians, which lead to Pharaoh allowing them to leave (until he changed his mind and chased after them).
But the word "Exodus" has nothing to do with the word "Easter" as the word Easter was taken from, I think, a druid religious holiday which happened to come close to when Christians celebrated the resurrection, and somewhere along the line the Christian celebration of the resurrection took on that name.
