Exhibit 10.2

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

OceanFirst Financial Corp. (“Company”), and its successors and assigns, and Grace Vallacchi (“Executive”) enter into this agreement (the “CIC Agreement”) to provide certain benefits to Executive in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of a Change in Control, as defined below.  This CIC Agreement is executed in conjunction with an Executive Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) and a Confidentiality and Executive Restriction Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”) and provides consideration for the obligations thereunder, and amends and restates the Executive Change in Control Agreement between the Company and Executive dated October 23, 2017 (the “Original CIC Agreement”).

I.CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFIT

If there is a Change in Control, and if the Executive is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason during the CIC Agreement Term or within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control, the Company shall provide the insurance benefits provided for in Section III(D) of the Agreement, and shall pay Executive as severance pay, in lieu of any severance payments the Company would otherwise be obligated to pay under the Agreement, an amount equal to the sum of (i) Executive’s Salary and (ii) the greater of the cash incentive payment paid to the Executive for the prior fiscal year or the Target Cash Compensation for the current fiscal year (“Change in Control Payment”).  In the event that the Company’s Board in good faith determines that the Change in Control occurred during such time as the Company is at least “adequately capitalized” (within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1831o(b)) then the Change in Control Payment shall be multiplied by a factor of three (3), provided, however, that the total value of the Change in Control Payment (including any insurance benefits provided) shall not exceed three times the sum of the Executive’s Salary and the greater of the cash incentive payment paid to the Executive for the prior fiscal year or the Target Cash Compensation for the current fiscal year. The Change in Control Payment is conditioned upon Executive executing a release agreement in favor of the Company at the time of termination of her employment.  Payment shall be made in a lump sum within five business days of the Executive’s date of termination, provided that Executive has executed and submitted a general release of claims and the statutory period during which the Employee is entitled to revoke the release of claims has expired before the payment date.  The Change in Control Payment will be subject to the Company’s collection of applicable federal income and employment withholding taxes.

II.DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this CIC Agreement, the following definitions will be in effect:

“Cause” has the meaning described in Section III(E)(1) of the Agreement. 

“Change in Control” means, except for the sale of the Company’s stock in a broad-based public offering:

(1)        an event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 5.01 of the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

(2)        results in a Change in Control of OceanFirst Bank, N.A. the subsidiary national bank of the Company, or the Company within the meaning of the National Bank Act, as amended, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or the rules and regulations promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as in effect on the date hereof; 

(3)        individuals who constitute the Board of the Company on the date hereof (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (3), considered as though she were a member of the Incumbent Board; or

(4)        A change “in the ownership or effective control” or “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of Company, within the meaning of Section 280G or the Internal Revenue Code.

“Good Reason” has the meaning described in Section III(E)(2) of the Agreement.

III.TERM OF AGREEMENT

This CIC Agreement shall be in effect for a term that is coextensive with the Agreement and shall automatically renew if and when the Agreement is renewed, provided Executive remains employed by the Company, Employee has executed the Confidentiality Agreement, and neither Party provides the other written notice of an intent not to renew this CIC Agreement 

more than thirty (30) days prior to its renewal (“CIC Agreement Term”).  Provided the Change in Control occurs during the term of this CIC Agreement, then the Change in Control Payment shall still be payable, even if the resignation or termination that triggers the payment occurs after the CIC Agreement has expired.  In addition, if the Company is, at the time the Change in Control Payment is payable, prohibited or restricted by applicable statutory, regulatory, contractual or other legal requirement from making the Change in Control Payment, then the Company shall be obligated for a period of three (3) years from such time to make the Change in Control Payment (or any unpaid portion) in the event that such prohibition or restriction is no longer applicable and the Company is otherwise then legally permitted to make such payment.  In the event that any Change in Control Payment (or any portion thereof) made to Executive hereunder or under any prior similar agreement or understanding is required under any applicable statutory, regulatory, order, contractual or other legal requirement to be paid back to the Company (or its successor), then Executive shall upon written demand from the Company (or its successor) promptly pay such amount back to the Company (or its successor).

IV.MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

A.Death

Should Executive die after becoming entitled to, but before receipt of, the Change in Control Payment under Section I of this CIC Agreement, then such payment will be made to the executors or administrators of her estate.

B.General Creditor Status 

The payment to which Executive may become entitled hereunder will be paid, when due, from the general assets of the Company, and no trust fund, escrow arrangement or other segregated account will be established as a funding vehicle for such payment.  Accordingly, Executive’s right (or the right of the personal representatives or beneficiaries of Executive’s estate) to receive any payment hereunder will at all times be that of a general creditor of the Company and will have no priority over the claims of other general creditors.

C.Miscellaneous

This CIC Agreement will be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the surviving entity in any Change in Control) and is to be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of New Jersey.  This CIC Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in order to be an exempt “short term deferral” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.  This CIC Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Company other than Executive.  It supersedes all other Change in Control agreements executed by Executive and the Company, including the Original CIC Agreement.  If any provision of this CIC Agreement as applied to Executive or the Company or to any circumstance should be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity of that provision will in no way affect (to the maximum extent permissible by law) the application of such provision under circumstances different from those adjudicated by the court, the application of any other provision of this CIC Agreement, or the enforceability or invalidity of this CIC Agreement as a whole.  Should any provision of this CIC Agreement become or be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage, then such provision will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then such provision will be stricken and the remainder of this CIC Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

D.Internal Revenue Code Section 280G 

Notwithstanding anything in this CIC Agreement to the contrary, if it is determined by legal counsel (or other tax advisor to Executive) that the total of the Change in Control Payment, together with any other payments or benefits paid by the Company to Executive, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the net after-tax amount that Executive would realize from such compensation, considering Executive’s federal and state income tax brackets and the excise tax, would be greater if the compensation payable hereunder were limited, then the compensation payable hereunder shall be limited in the manner determined by such counsel or advisor, to maximize Executive’s net after-tax income.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed and entered into this CIC Agreement effective on November 2,  2021.

Executive will continue to serve as the Chief  Executive Officer to the Company and the Employer reporting to the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”)  and will perform the duties, consistent with this position, as the Board determines.  During the period that Executive  serves as the Chief Executive Officer, the Board will nominate Executive to serve as a director on the Board, subject  to the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders.  2. Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, this Agreement will have an initial term which will expire on  the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). On the last day of the Initial Term and each  year thereafter, the Agreement will automatically renew for an additional successive one year term as of the date  

 

thereof (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless any party provides the other parties with written notice of non-renewal  at least 90 days prior to the date of automatic renewal, in which case the Agreement will expire at the end of the  Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable. Non-renewal at the end of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term will  constitute termination without Cause under the Agreement and entitle Executive to severance set forth in Section  5(b)(ii) or Section 5(b)(iii), as applicable, although if a Potential Change in Control Date has occurred prior to the  expiration of this Agreement, the Agreement shall remain in effect until the earliest of:  (a) the end of the Change in Control Period, if a Change in Control has been completed, so  long as all payments due have been made; or  (b) 12 months after the Potential Change in Control Date if no Change in Control has been  completed; provided, however, that in the event of a protracted regulatory clearance process with respect to a  potential Change in Control, such term shall be extended so long as the Company is pursuing the potential Change  in Control in good faith.  3. Compensation.  (a) Base Salary. The Employer will pay Executive an annual salary of $900,000 as compensation for  services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid according to the Employer’s normal payroll practices  and subject to the usual and required withholdings. Executive’s salary may be reviewed and adjusted annually by  the Board.  (b) Annual Bonus. Executive is eligible to earn a target annual bonus of 120% of Executive’s Base  Salary based upon achievement of performance objectives to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion and  payable upon achievement of those applicable objectives, subject to minimum and maximum limits as established  by the Company (the “Annual Bonus”). If any Annual Bonus is earned, it will be paid when practicable after the  Board determines it has been earned, subject to Executive being employed on the date of payment. To the extent  that a cash bonus plan is adopted by the Company, the Annual Bonus will be paid pursuant to that plan.  (c) Equity Awards. Executive will be eligible to receive equity awards pursuant to any plans or  arrangements the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or its designated committee (the  “Committee”) will determine in its discretion whether Executive will be granted any such equity awards and the  terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect  from time to time.   4. Employee Benefits.   (a) Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans maintained by the Company  and the Employer and generally applicable to senior executives of the Employer. The Employer may cancel or  change the benefit plans and programs it offers at any time and those changes will not breach this Agreement.  (b) During Executive’s employment with the Company or the Employer, Executive will be provided  coverage under the Company’s or the Employer’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and form of  indemnification agreement as in effect for other senior executives of the Employer.   5. Termination of Employment; Severance.  (a) At-Will Employment. Executive, the Employer, and the Company agree that Executive’s  employment as described herein will be “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time with or without  cause or notice. Executive understands and agrees that neither his job performance nor promotions, commendations,  bonuses or the like from the Company or the Employer give rise to or in any way serve as the basis for modification,  amendment, or extension, by implication or otherwise, of his employment with the Company or the Employer.  (b) Terminations of Employment. Executive’s employment may be terminated under various scenarios  addressed in this Section 5(b). Upon any termination of employment, Executive will receive benefits described in  

 

Section 5(b)(i). Depending on the circumstances of the termination of employment, subject to the conditions in  Section 6, Executive may be entitled to payment of the amounts listed under one of Section 5(b)(ii), Section 5(b)(iii)  or Section 5(b)(iv). Executive agrees that upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive  will resign as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the Board (and any committees  thereof) and the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of any of the affiliates of the Company or the  Employer and from any other positions Executive holds with the Company, the Employer or any of their affiliates.  (i) Termination for Cause or Resignation Other Than for Good Reason. If Executive’s  employment is terminated for Cause or Executive resigns other than for Good Reason, Executive will receive:  (1) the Base Salary accrued through the termination date, payable under the  Employer’s usual payment practices;  (2) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by  Executive prior to the termination date in accordance with the reimbursement policy of the Company or the Employer,  as applicable, provided that claims for reimbursement are submitted in accordance with the applicable reimbursement  policy; and  (3) any fully vested and non-forfeitable employee benefits to which Executive may be  entitled under the Employer’s employee benefit plans (other than benefits in the nature of severance pay) (the amounts  described in clauses (1) through (3) above are referred to later as the “Accrued Obligations”).  (ii) Termination Without Cause, Resignation for Good Reason. If (x) Executive’s  employment is terminated without Cause, or (y) Executive resigns for Good Reason, Executive will receive:  (1) the Accrued Obligations;  (2) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (a) 200% of Executive’s Base Salary  for the year in which his employment terminated, and (b) 200% of the greater of (1) Executive’s Annual Bonus as in  effect for the fiscal year in which his employment terminates, or (2) the mean average of Executive’s performance  bonuses paid for the three (3) fiscal years preceding the fiscal year in which his employment terminates.  (3) acceleration of any of Executive’s outstanding Company equity awards subject to  time-based vesting conditions (other than Earned Awards) such that Executive will be vested in the number of shares  or units, as applicable, subject to such Company equity awards that Executive would be vested in had Executive  remained continuously employed with Employer for an additional 12 months;   (4) with respect to Executive’s outstanding Company performance-based equity  awards: the sum of (A) if Executive’s termination date occurs before the end of the applicable performance period that  relates to a portion of such Company performance-based equity award, then Executive will vest in the product of (i)  the target number of units or shares subject to such portion of the Company performance-based equity award, as  applicable, multiplied by (ii) the quotient derived from the number of full months Executive remained in continuous  service to the Employer from the beginning of the performance period through Executive’s termination date, over the  total months from the beginning of the performance period through the end of the applicable vesting period for such  portion, plus (B) if Executive’s termination date occurs on or after the end of the applicable performance period that  relates to a portion of such Company performance-based equity award (each such portion, an “Earned Award”), then  Executive will vest in the number of units or shares subject to such Earned Award, as applicable, which have been  earned, but not yet vested as of Executive’s termination date (or in the event that the determination of the achievement  for such completed performance period has not yet been approved by the Committee as of Executive’s termination  date, then the number of units or shares subject to such Earned Award that will be earned as of the date the Committee  determines the achievement of the performance objective for such performance period); and  

 

(5) a lump sum cash payment equal to 18 multiplied by the monthly health insurance  continuation premiums for the health, dental, and vision insurance options in which Executive and his eligible  dependents are enrolled on the termination date.   (iii) Termination of Employment During a Change in Control Period. If Executive’s  employment is terminated under circumstances that would entitle Executive to payment of benefits under Section  5(b)(ii), or Executive’s employment terminates due to Executive’s death or Disability, and such termination of  employment occurs during the Change in Control Period, then Executive will receive the benefits described in  Section 5(b)(ii), but, (1) rather than the vesting acceleration of Company equity awards described in Section  5(b)(ii)(3) and Section 5(b)(ii)(4), 100% of all of Executive’s outstanding Company equity awards will become  vested and fully exercisable effective as of the later of the date of termination or the date of the consummation of  the Change in Control (and with respect to any Company performance-based equity awards, for which the applicable  performance period has (x) been completed as of Executive’s termination date, based on actual achievement of the  applicable performance objectives or (y) not been completed as of Executive’s termination date, assuming  achievement of the applicable performance objectives at target), and (2) the payments provided in Section 5(b)(ii)(5)  will be calculated with a multiplier of 24.    (iv) Termination by Reason of Death or Disability Outside a Change in Control Period.   If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of his death or Disability outside the Change in Control Period,  100% of all of Executive’s Company equity awards will become vested and fully exercisable as of the date of such  termination due to death or Disability (and with respect to any Company performance-based equity awards, for  which the applicable performance period has (1) been completed as of Executive’s termination date, based on actual  achievement of the applicable performance objectives or (2) not been completed as of Executive’s termination date,  assuming achievement of the applicable performance objectives at target).   (c) Exclusive Remedy. If a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company or the Employer  occurs, the provisions of this Section 5 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies  to which Executive, the Company, or the Employer may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in  equity, or under this Agreement. Executive will be entitled to no severance or other benefits upon termination of  employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 5.   6. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.   (a) Executive will not receive severance pay or benefits other than the Accrued Obligations unless  (x) Executive signs and does not revoke a separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably  satisfactory to the Company and the Employer (the “Release”) and (y) such Release becomes effective and  irrevocable no later than 60 days following the termination date (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). If the  Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to  severance or benefits under this Agreement. All payments will be made upon the effectiveness of the Release but  will be delayed until a subsequent calendar year if necessary so their timing does not result in penalty taxation under  Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). Severance payments or benefits will not be paid or provided until the  Release becomes effective and irrevocable. For avoidance of doubt, although Executive’s severance payments and  benefits are contractual rights, not “damages,” Executive is not required to seek other employment or otherwise  “mitigate damages” as a condition of receiving such payments and benefits.  (b) If any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” under Section  409A would be payable under this Agreement by reason of Executive’s “separation from service” during a period  in which Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A as determined by the Company),  then any payment or benefits will be delayed, without payment of interest, until the earliest date on which it could  be paid or distributed without being subject to penalty taxation under Section 409A.   (c) Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate  payment under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).  

 

(d) Executive’s receipt of any payment or benefits other than Accrued Obligations will be subject to  Executive continuing to comply with her confidentiality obligations to the Company and the Employer.  7. Definitions.  (a) Cause means (i) willful malfeasance of Executive that has a material adverse effect on the Company  or the Employer; (ii) substantial and continuing willful refusal by Executive to perform duties ordinarily performed  by an employee in the same position and having similar duties as Executive; (iii) conviction of Executive of a  felony, or of a misdemeanor that would have a material adverse effect on the goodwill of the Company or the  Employer if Executive were to be retained as an employee of the Company or the Employer; or (iv) willful failure  of Executive to comply with material policies and procedures of the Company  or the Employer, including but not  limited to the Lumentum Code of Business Conduct and Policy Regarding Inside Information and Securities  Transactions. Except in the case of a felony conviction under subsection (iii) above, if the act or failure to act which  is the basis for a decision by the Board to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause is such that it is susceptible  to cure, the Board shall provide Executive notice that it intends to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause,  specifying the particular act or failure to act and providing Executive with fifteen (15) days following such notice  to cure such act or failure to act to the satisfaction of the Board.  (b) Change in Control means the occurrence of one or more of the following with respect to the  Company:  (i) the acquisition by any person (or related group of persons), whether by tender or  exchange offer made directly to the Company’s stockholders, open market purchase, or any other transaction or  series of transactions, of stock of the Company that, together with stock of the Company held by such person or  group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the then-outstanding stock  of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of the members of the Board;  (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, except  for a transaction in which both (A) securities representing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of  the surviving entity are beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, immediately after such merger or consolidation by persons who  beneficially owned Company common stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation and (B) the  members of the Board immediately prior to the transaction (the “Existing Board”) constitute a majority of the  board of directors of the surviving entity or its parent entity immediately after such merger or consolidation;   (iii) any reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving entity but in which  either (A) persons who beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, Company common stock immediately prior to  such reverse merger do not retain immediately after such reverse merger direct or indirect beneficial ownership of  securities representing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities  or (B) the members of the Existing Board do not constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company’s  parent entity immediately after such reverse merger; or  (iv) the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the  Company (other than a sale, transfer, or other disposition to one or more subsidiaries of the Company).   Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any amount constituting nonqualified deferred  compensation within the meaning of Section 409A would become payable under this Agreement by reason of a  Change in Control, such amount will become payable only if the event constituting a Change in Control would also  constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial  portion of the assets of the Company within meaning of Section 409A.  

 

(c) Change in Control Period means that period that begins on the earliest of:  (i) the execution of a definitive agreement or letter of intent, in which the  consummation of the transactions described would result in a Change in Control, or  (ii) the date of the public announcement by the Company of its intent to consummate  a Change in Control ((i) and (ii), the “Potential Change in Control Date”) and ends on the date that is 18 months  following the consummation of the Change in Control.  (d) Disability means a mental or physical disability, illness, or injury, evidenced by medical reports  from a duly qualified medical practitioner, which renders Executive unable to perform any one or more of the  essential duties of his position after the provision of a reasonable accommodation, if applicable, for a period of  greater than 90 days.  (e) Good Reason means Executive’s resignation from the Company or the Employer within 90 days  following the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s express written consent:  (i) a material adverse change in Executive’s duties, authority, responsibilities, job  title, or reporting relationships relative to Executive’s duties, authority, responsibilities, job title, or reporting  relationships as in effect immediately prior to such change in Executive’s duties, authority, responsibilities, job title,  or reporting relationships; provided, however, that the occurrence of a Change in Control will not, in and of itself,  constitute a material adverse change in Executive’s duties, authority, responsibilities, job title, or reporting  relationships;   (ii) a material reduction by Company or the Employer in the base salary of Executive  as in effect immediately prior to such reduction;   (iii) a material reduction by Company or the Employer in Executive’s annual bonus  opportunity as in effect immediately prior to such reduction;   (iv) the relocation of Executive’s principal work location to a facility or a location more  than 50 miles from Executive’s then-present principal work location; or  (v) the failure of the Company or the Employer to obtain agreement from any  successor to provide the benefits provided for in this Agreement.   Executive may terminate his employment with the Company or the Employer for Good Reason by first  providing the Board with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason within  90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for Good Reason and after a reasonable cure period of not less than  90 days following the date the Board receives such notice has passed, during which such condition must not have  been cured.  8. Limitation on Payments; Section 280G. If any severance or other benefits payable to Executive (i) are  “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and (ii) but for this Section 8, would be subject to  the “golden parachute” excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s severance benefits will  reduced to a level that will result in no tax under Code Section 4999 unless it would be better economically for  Executive to receive all of the benefits and pay the excise tax. If a reduction in benefits is necessary for this purpose,  then the reduction will occur in the following order (1) reduction of the cash severance payments; (2) cancellation  of accelerated vesting of equity awards; and (3) reduction of continued employee benefits. If the acceleration of  vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, that acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse  order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards. Any determination required under this Section 8 will be  made in writing by an independent professional services firm chosen by the Company immediately prior to a Change  in Control and paid for by the Company and that determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and  the Company for all purposes.  

 

9. Miscellaneous.  (a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws  of the state of California, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.  (b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the equity award plans and agreements for the equity awards  listed on Exhibit A, and the confidential information agreement previously executed by Executive contain the entire  understanding of the parties with respect to Executive’s employment and supersedes any prior agreements or  understandings (including verbal agreements) between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.  There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the parties with  respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth herein.

(d) Assignment. This Agreement, and all of Executive’s rights and duties under it, are not assignable  or delegable by Executive.

(e) Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon  personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and heirs.  (f) Notice. The notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement will be deemed  to have been duly given when delivered by hand or overnight courier addressed to the addresses set forth below, or  to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that  notice of change of address will be effective only upon receipt.
