Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement



 Exhibit 10(d) 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

 [MANAGEMENT FORM] 
 This AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT is effective as of the 1st day of January, 2010 (this “Agreement”), by and between THE FIRST AMERICAN CORPORATION, a California
corporation (“FAC”), First American Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FAF”) and
                     (the “Executive”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, FAC and FAF intend to enter into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which FAC will separate into two separate, publicly traded
companies, one for the financial services group which will be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by FAF, and one for the information solutions group which will continue to be owned and conducted, directly or indirectly, by FAC; and

 WHEREAS, FAC, FAF and the Executive desire to enter into this amendment and restatement of the Agreement on the terms and
conditions set forth below, to reflect the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, and to ensure that FAC, and, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, FAC or FAF, as applicable, will
have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) of FAC or FAF, as applicable. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth herein, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties as
follows: 
 1. Effect of Separation. 
 (a) With respect to periods prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, the term
“Company” as used herein shall mean FAC. 
 (b) If the Executive, upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, is employed by FAF or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, then: (i) this Agreement shall automatically, without further action taken by the Executive, FAC and/or FAF, be assumed by
FAF, (ii) all references in this Agreement to the “Company” with respect to periods from and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement shall mean FAF and not FAC and (iii) from and
after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement FAC and its subsidiaries shall have no further obligation or liability to the Executive under this Agreement. 
 (c) If the Executive, upon consummation from and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation
Agreement, remains employed by FAC, then: (i) this Agreement shall remain the sole obligation of FAC, (ii) all








 
references in this Agreement to the “Company” with respect to periods from and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement shall mean FAC
and not FAF and (iii) from and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement FAF and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation or liability to the Executive under this Agreement. 
 2. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue through December 31, 2010 (the
“Original Term”); provided, however, that on such date and on each December 31 thereafter, the Original Term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year (each, an
“Extended Term”) unless, not later than the preceding January 1 either party shall have given notice that such party does not wish to extend the term of this Agreement beyond the Original Term and any Extended Term; and
provided, further, that if a Change in Control (as defined in paragraph 4 below) shall have occurred during the Original Term or any Extended Term of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall continue for a period of thirty-six
(36) calendar months beyond the calendar month in which such Change in Control occurs (the Original Term, each Extended Term, if any, and such thirty-six (36) month period, collectively, the “Term”). 
 3. Employment After a Change in Control. If the Executive is in the employ of the Company (which for this purpose shall also include
any subsidiary of the Company) on the date of a Change in Control, the Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ (and/or, in the case of any subsidiary of the Company, the employ of such subsidiary) for the period commencing on
the date of the Change in Control and ending on the last day of the Term of this Agreement. During the period of employment described in the foregoing provision of this paragraph 3 (the “Employment Period”), the Executive shall hold
such position with the Company (which for this purpose shall also include any subsidiary of the Company) and exercise such authority and perform such executive duties as are commensurate with the Executive’s position, authority, and duties
immediately prior to the Change in Control. The Executive agrees that during the Employment Period the Executive shall devote full business time exclusively to the executive duties described herein and perform such duties faithfully and efficiently;
provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Executive from voluntarily resigning from employment upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Company under circumstances which do not constitute a
Termination (as defined below in paragraph 6). 
 4. Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change
in Control” means the happening of any of the following: 
 (a) The consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities outstanding immediately after
such merger, consolidation, or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or other reorganization. 
 (b) The sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
  

 -2- 








 (c) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two
(2) year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. Prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, “Incumbent Directors” shall mean
directors who are directors of FAC as of the date of this Agreement. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who are directors of the
Company immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement. In each case, “Incumbent Directors” shall also include directors who are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board
with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination, but shall not include an individual not otherwise an Incumbent Director whose election or nomination is in connection with an
actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to, prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, FAC, or after the consummation thereof, the Company. 
 (d) Any transaction as a result of which any person or group is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “person” shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but shall exclude: (i) a trustee or other fiduciary
holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or of a subsidiary of the Company; (ii) so long as a person does not thereafter increase such person’s beneficial ownership of the total voting power represented by the
Company’s then outstanding voting securities, a person whose beneficial ownership of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities increases to twenty-five percent (25%) or more as a result of
the acquisition of voting securities of the Company by the Company which reduces the number of such voting securities then outstanding; or (iii) so long as a person does not thereafter increase such person’s beneficial ownership of the
total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, a person that acquires directly from the Company securities of the Company representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total voting power
represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities. 
 A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control
if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such
transaction. 
 For the avoidance of doubt, the consummation of any or all of the transactions contemplated by the Separation
Agreement will not be considered a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement and no action taken that is reasonably related to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and/or the establishment of FAF as an independent
publicly traded company will be considered Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement.

 5. Compensation During the Employment Period. During the Employment Period, the
Executive shall be compensated as follows: 
 (a) The Executive shall receive an annual salary which is not less
than his or her annual salary immediately prior to the Employment Period and shall be eligible to receive an increase in annual salary which is not materially less favorable to the Executive than increases in salary granted by the Company for
executives with comparable duties; 
 (b) The Executive shall be eligible to participate in short-term and
long-term cash-based incentive compensation plans which, in the aggregate, provide bonus opportunities which are not materially less favorable to the Executive than the greater of: (i) the opportunities provided by the Company for executives
with comparable duties; and (ii) the opportunities provided to the Executive under all such plans in which the Executive was participating prior to the Employment Period; 
 (c) The Executive shall be eligible to participate in stock option, performance awards, restricted stock, and other
equity-based incentive compensation plans on a basis not materially less favorable to the Executive than that applicable: (i) to the Executive immediately prior to the Employment Period; or (ii) to other executives of the Company with
comparable duties; and 
 (d) The Executive shall be eligible to receive employee benefits (including, but not
limited to, tax-qualified and nonqualified savings plan benefits, medical insurance, disability income protection, life insurance coverage, and death benefits) and perquisites (including, without limitation, a Company vehicle and Company-paid or
assisted membership dues) which are not materially less favorable to the Executive than: (i) the employee benefits and perquisites provided by the Company to executives with comparable duties; or (ii) the employee benefits and perquisites
to which the Executive would be entitled under the Company’s employee benefit plans and perquisites as in effect immediately prior to the Employment Period. 
 6. Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Termination” shall mean: (a) termination of the employment of the Executive during the Employment Period by the
Company for any reason other than death, Disability (as defined below), or Cause (as defined below); (b) termination of the employment of the Executive during the Window Period by the Executive for any reason whatsoever; or (c) termination
of the employment of the Executive during the Employment Period (other than during the Window Period) by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below). 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if: (a) the Executive’s employment is terminated within six (6) months prior to the actual occurrence of a Change in Control for
reasons that would constitute a Termination if it had occurred following a Change in Control; (b) the Executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination (or Good Reason event) was at the request of a third party who had indicated an
intention or had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control; and (c) a Change in Control involving such third party (or a party competing with such third party to effectuate a Change in Control) does

  

 -4- 








 
occur, then for purposes of this Agreement, the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment or event constituting Good Reason shall be treated as a Change in Control and
such termination shall be treated as a Termination. For purposes of determining the timing of payments and benefits to the Executive under this Agreement as a result of this paragraph, payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 7(a). 
 The date of the Executive’s Termination under this paragraph 6 shall be the date of the Executive’s
“Separation from Service” (as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”)). 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means such physical or mental disability or infirmity of the Executive which, in the opinion of a competent physician, renders the Executive unable to perform properly his or her
duties set forth in paragraph 3 of this Agreement, and as a result of which the Executive is unable to perform such duties for six (6) consecutive calendar months or for shorter periods aggregating one hundred eighty (180) business days in
any twelve (12) month period. For purposes of this paragraph, a competent physician shall be a physician mutually agreed upon by the Executive and the Board. If a mutual agreement cannot be reached, the Executive shall designate a physician and
the Board shall designate a physician and these two physicians shall select a third physician who shall be the “competent physician.” 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” means: (a) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform the Executive’s duties with the Company
(which for purposes of this paragraph shall also include subsidiaries of the Company) after written notification by the Board; (b) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct which is demonstrably injurious to the Company, monetarily or
otherwise; or (c) the engaging by the Executive in egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude. For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done,
or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action was in the best interest of the Company. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Window Period” means the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Change in Control and ending at 5:00 p.m., Los Angeles time, on
the thirtieth (30th) day thereafter. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” means, without the Executive’s express written consent, the
occurrence after a Change in Control of any of the following circumstances: 
 (a) The assignment to the
Executive by the Company of duties which, in the reasonable determination of the Executive, are a significant adverse alteration in the nature or status of the Executive’s position, responsibilities, duties, or conditions of employment from
those in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control; or any other action by the Company that, in the reasonable determination of the Executive, results in a material diminution in the Executive’s position, authority,
duties, or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control; 
  

 -5- 








 (b) A reduction in the Executive’s annual base compensation as in
effect on the occurrence of the Change in Control; 
 (c) The relocation of the Company’s offices at which
the Executive is principally employed immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Principal Location”) to a location more than fifty (50) miles from such location or the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based
anywhere other than the Principal Location, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations prior to the Change in Control; 
 (d) The Company’s failure to pay to the Executive any portion of the Executive’s compensation or to pay to the
Executive any portion of an installment of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company within ten (10) days of the date such compensation is due; or 
 (e) The Company’s failure to continue in effect any material compensation or benefit plan or practice in which the
Executive is eligible to participate on the occurrence of the Change in Control, unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such plan or practice, or the Company’s
failure to continue the Executive’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amount of benefits provided and the level of the Executive’s participation
relative to other participants, as existed at the time of the Change in Control. 
 7. Severance Payments and Benefits.
Subject to the provisions of paragraph 9 below, in the event of a Termination, in lieu of the amount otherwise payable under paragraph 5 above, the Company shall: 
 (a) Pay the Executive a lump-sum payment in cash no later than ten (10) business days after the date of Termination
equal to the sum of: 
 (i) The sum of: (A) the Executive’s base salary through and including the date
of Termination and any bonus amounts which have become payable, to the extent either has not theretofore been paid; (B) a pro rata portion of the Executive’s annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the date of Termination occurs in an
amount equal to: (1) the Executive’s Bonus Amount (as defined below), multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the date of Termination occurs through and including the date
of Termination, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365); (C) accrued and unpaid vacation pay through and including the date of Termination; and (D) unreimbursed business expenses through and including the date of
Termination; 
 (ii) An amount equal to the product of the Applicable Multiple (as defined below) and the
Executive’s annual salary in effect immediately prior to the date of Termination; and 
  

 -6- 








 (iii) An amount equal to the product of the Applicable Multiple and the
Executive’s Bonus Amount; 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 7(a), with respect to any
amounts which constitute a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and provided the Executive is a “Specified Employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), such amounts shall be paid to the Executive
on the date which is six (6) months after his or her date of Separation from Service. 
 (b) Continue to
provide the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s dependents), for a twenty-four (24) month period following the date of Termination, with the same level of benefits described in paragraph 5(d) of this Agreement upon substantially
the same terms and conditions (including contributions required by the Executive for such benefits) as existed immediately prior to the date of Termination (or, if more favorable to the Executive, as such benefits and terms and conditions existed
immediately prior to the Change of Control), provided, that if the Executive cannot continue to participate in the Company plans providing such benefits, the Company shall otherwise provide such benefits on the same after-tax basis as if
continued participation had been permitted, and further provided the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during the Executive’s taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and becomes eligible to receive welfare benefits from such employer, the welfare benefits described in this Agreement
shall be secondary to such benefits during the period of the Executive’s eligibility, but only to the extent that the Company reimburses the Executive for any increased cost and provides any additional benefits necessary to give the Executive
the benefits provided hereunder. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Applicable Multiple” means:
(a) in the case of termination of the employment of the Executive during the Window Period by the Executive for any reason whatsoever, one (1); or (b) in the case of (i) termination of the employment of the Executive during the
Employment Period by the Company for any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause and (ii) termination of the employment of the Executive during the Employment Period (other than during the Window Period) by the Executive for Good Reason,
two (2). 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Bonus Amount” means the highest annual discretionary
incentive bonus (including cash bonuses and stock bonuses) earned by the Executive during the last four (4) completed fiscal years of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion of such four fiscal year period that elapsed
prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and regardless of whether the Executive is employed by FAC and its subsidiaries or FAF and its subsidiaries) immediately preceding the date of Termination
(i) for such portion of the four fiscal year period prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, from FAC and its subsidiaries and (ii) for such portion of the four fiscal year period following
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, from the Company and its subsidiaries (in each case annualized in the event the Executive was not employed by FAC, FAF and/or any of their respective subsidiaries for the
whole of any such fiscal year). 
  

 -7- 








 8. Make-Whole Payments. Under certain circumstances following a Change in Control, a
portion of the present value of the benefits payable either under the Agreement or otherwise, or upon the acceleration of the vesting of outstanding stock options, restricted stock and performance shares could be subject to an excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code and/or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed under any successor provision or by any taxing authority (collectively, the “Excise Taxes”) and be nondeductible by the Company. The Company agrees
to reimburse the Executive for any such Excise Taxes, together with any additional excise or income taxes resulting from such reimbursement, whether or not the employment of the Executive has been terminated. The Company will make such payment to
the Executive by the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which he remits the related taxes. 
 9. Withholding. All payments to the Executive under this Agreement will be subject to all applicable withholding of state and federal taxes. 
 10. Arbitration of All Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be
settled by arbitration in Santa Ana, California, in accordance with the laws of the State of California or such other location mutually agreeable to the parties, by three (3) arbitrators appointed by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on
the appointment of the arbitrators, one shall be appointed by the Company and one by the Executive and the third shall be appointed by the first two arbitrators. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association, except with respect to the selection of arbitrators which shall be as provided in this paragraph 10. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event
that it shall be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Executive in his or her sole discretion, for the Executive to retain legal counsel or incur other costs and expenses in connection with interpretation or enforcement of his or her rights
under this Agreement, the Company shall pay (or the Executive shall be entitled to recover from the Company, as the case may be) his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses in connection with interpretation or enforcement of
his or her rights (including the enforcement of any arbitration award in court). Payments shall be made to the Executive at the time such fees, costs, and expenses are incurred. If, however, the arbitrators shall determine that, under the
circumstances, payment by the Company of all or a part of any such fees and costs and expenses would be unjust, the Executive shall repay such amounts to the Company in accordance with the order of the arbitrators. Any award of the arbitrators shall
include interest at a rate or rates considered just under the circumstances by the arbitrators. 
 11. Mitigation and
Set-Off. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The Company shall not be entitled to set off against the amounts payable to the Executive
under this Agreement any amounts owed to the Company by the Executive, any amounts earned by the Executive in other employment after termination of his employment with the Company, or any amounts which might have been earned by the Executive in
other employment had he or she sought such other employment. 
  

 -8- 








 12. Notices. Any notice of Termination of the Executive’s employment by the
Company or the Executive for any reason shall be upon no less than ten (10) days’ and no greater than thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other party. Any notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided
for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent by registered or certified mail to the Executive at the last address he or she has filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, to the attention of the
Secretary of the Company, at its principal executive offices. 
 13. Non-Alienation. The Executive shall not have any
right to pledge, hypothecate, anticipate, or in any way create a lien upon any amounts provided under this Agreement; and no benefits payable hereunder shall be assignable in anticipation of payment either by voluntary or involuntary acts, or by
operation of law. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the Executive’s rights or powers to dispose of his or her property by will or limit any rights or powers which his or her executor or administrator would otherwise have. 
 14. Governing Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
without application of conflict of laws provisions thereunder. 
 15. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended,
modified, waived, or terminated except by mutual agreement of the parties in writing. 
 16. Heirs of the Executive. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts
are still payable to the Executive hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such
designee, to the Executive’s estate. 
 17. Successors to the Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. The Company shall require: (i) any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or
assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place; and (ii) the parent entity of any
successor in such business combination to guarantee the performance of such successor hereunder. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement (and, if applicable, such guarantee) prior to the effectiveness of any such succession
shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to receive compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms to which the Executive would be entitled hereunder if the Executive terminated the Executive’s
employment for Good Reason following a Change in Control, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date of Termination. Unless expressly provided otherwise,
the term “Company” as used herein shall mean the Company as defined in this Agreement and

  

 -9- 








 
any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement shall not be deemed a
transfer of “all or substantially all of the business and/or assets” of FAC for any purpose under this Agreement and (B) this Agreement shall be treated in the manner set forth in paragraphs 1(b) or 1(c), as applicable, in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement. 
 18. Reimbursement of Expenses. To the extent this
Agreement provides for the reimbursement of expenses which are not specifically excluded from Section 409A of the Code, such expenses shall be eligible for reimbursement for the lifetime of the Executive, and the amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement during the Executive’s taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year. 
 19. Employment Status. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an employment agreement between the Company and the Executive, providing for the employment of the Executive by the Company
for any fixed period of time. The Executive’s employment with the Company is terminable at will by the Company or the Executive and each shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time, with or
without Cause, subject to: (a) the notice provisions of paragraphs 3, 6, and 12, (b) the Company’s obligation to provide severance payments as required by paragraph 7 and (c) the terms and conditions of any employment agreement
between the Company and the Executive. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 6 of this Agreement, upon a termination of the Executive’s employment prior to the date of a Change in Control, there shall be no further rights under this
Agreement. 
 20. Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect. 
 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, any one (1) of which shall be deemed the original without reference to the other. 
 22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, with respect thereto (including any prior Change in Control Agreement between the parties); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that this Agreement
does not supersede all or any portion (including, without limitation, any provision governing the effect of any change in control) of any benefit plan or compensation plan of the Company or any employment agreement to which the Executive is a party.
Any reference to any prior Change in Control Agreement between the parties shall from and after the date hereof be deemed to be a reference to this Agreement.
