In the event that the obligation to deliver Shares arises under Sections 4(b), (c) or (d) and the period within which to satisfy the condition to sign a separation agreement commences in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the Shares shall be delivered in the next calendar year.
(d)
Earned PRSUs may only be settled by delivery of Shares and not by any cash payment. No fractional Share will be issued pursuant to this Award. The number of Shares issuable upon the settlement of the Earned PRSUs will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. No payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional shares so disregarded.
(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) and if necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes on the Participant pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, such delivery of Shares shall be delayed until the earlier of the date which is six months from the date of such Participant’s Termination for any reason other than death, or the date of the Participant’s death.
7.
No Ownership Rights Prior to Issuance of Shares.

PRSUs shall not be considered Shares and neither the Participant nor any other person shall become the beneficial owner of the Shares underlying the PRSUs, nor have any rights to dividends or other rights as a shareholder with respect to any such Shares, until and after such Shares have been actually issued to the Participant and transferred on the books and records of the Company or its agent in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.

8.
Detrimental Activity.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time prior to the earlier of the delivery of Shares with respect to the PRSUs or, if applicable, the date on which such Shares would have been delivered but for a deferral pursuant to a deferred compensation arrangement made available by the Company, the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity, such PRSUs shall be cancelled and rescinded without any payment or consideration therefor. The determination of whether the Participant has engaged in Detrimental Activity shall be made by the Committee in its good faith discretion, and the earning of Earned PRSUs and delivery of Shares with respect to Earned PRSUs shall be suspended pending resolution to the Committee’s satisfaction of any investigation of the matter.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Detrimental Activity” means at any time (i) using information received during the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates relating to the business affairs of the Company or any such Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in breach of the Participant’s express or implied undertaking to keep such information confidential; (ii) directly or indirectly persuading or attempting to persuade, by any means, any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to breach any of the terms of his or her employment with the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates; (iii) directly or indirectly making any statement that is, or could be, disparaging of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their respective employees (except to the extent necessary to respond truthfully to any inquiry from applicable regulatory authorities or to provide information pursuant to legal process); (iv) directly or indirectly engaging in any illegal, unethical or otherwise wrongful activity that is, or could be, substantially injurious to the financial condition, reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (v) directly or

- 4 -

 


 

indirectly engaging in an act of misconduct such as, embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, breach of fiduciary duty or disregard or violation of rules, policies or procedures of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, an unauthorized disclosure of any trade secret or confidential information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any conduct constituting unfair competition, or inducing any customer to breach a contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case as determined by the Committee in its good faith discretion. Nothing in this Agreement prevents the Participant, however, from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace, such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that the Participant has reason to believe is unlawful.

9.
Responsibility for Taxes.

The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the PRSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such settlement and the receipt of any dividends and/or Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of this Award or any aspect of the Plan to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Earned PRSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent; (iii) withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Earned PRSUs; or (iv) any other method permitted by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is an officer of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the Company must satisfy any withholding obligations arising upon the occurrence of a taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, by withholding in Shares to be issued upon settlement of the Earned PRSUs pursuant to method (iii), unless the Board or the Committee determines in its discretion that the obligation for Tax-Related Items must be satisfied by one or a combination of methods (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) above.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. The Participant acknowledges that, if the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant may be deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the Earned PRSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

The Participant agrees to pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

- 5 -

 


 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, to avoid a prohibited acceleration under U.S. Code Section 409A, if Shares subject to Earned PRSUs will be withheld (or sold on the Participant’s behalf) to satisfy any Tax Related Items arising prior to the date of settlement of the Earned PRSUs for any portion of the Earned PRSUs that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to U.S. Code Section 409A, then the number of Shares withheld (or sold on the Participant’s behalf) shall not exceed the number of Shares that equals the liability for Tax-Related Items.

10.
No Right to Continued Employment.

None of the PRSUs nor any terms contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any express or implied right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate for any period, nor restrict in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate, which right is hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10 is not intended to amend or modify any other agreement, including any employment agreement, that may be in existence between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

11.
The Plan.

In consideration for this Award, the Participant agrees to comply with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to all the terms, provisions and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference, and to such regulations as may from time to time be adopted by the Committee. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. The Plan and the prospectus describing the Plan can be found on Fidelity NetBenefits® at www.netbenefits.com/firstamerican under Plan Information and Documents. A paper copy of the Plan and the prospectus shall be provided to the Participant upon the Participant’s written request to the Company at First American Financial Corporation, 1 First American Way, Santa Ana, California 92707, Attention: Incentive Compensation Plan Administrator, or such other address as the Company may from time to time specify.

12.
Compliance with Laws and Regulations; Recoupment.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the PRSUs and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver Shares hereunder shall be subject in all respects to (i) all applicable Federal and state laws, rules and regulations and (ii) any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or applicable. Moreover, the Company shall not deliver any certificates for Shares to the Participant or any other person pursuant to this Agreement if doing so would be contrary to applicable law. If at any time the Company determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates for Shares to the Participant or any other person pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.

(b) It is intended that the Shares received in respect of Earned PRSUs shall have been registered under the Securities Act. If the Participant is an “affiliate” of the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), the Participant may not sell the Shares received except in compliance with Rule 144. Certificates representing Shares issued to an “affiliate” of the Company may bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on the disposition or transfer of the Shares as the Company deems appropriate to comply with Federal and state securities laws.

(c) If, at any time, the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, and/or there is no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Shares, the Participant shall execute, prior to the delivery of any Shares to the Participant by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement (in such form as the Company may specify) in which the Participant represents and warrants that the Participant is purchasing or acquiring the Shares acquired under this Agreement for the Participant’s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and represents and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or

- 6 -

 


 

distribution of any kind of such Shares shall be made only pursuant to either (i) a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the Shares being offered or sold, or (ii) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption the Participant shall, prior to any offer for sale of such Shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, from counsel for or approved by the Company, as to the applicability of such exemption thereto.

(d) To the extent provided by the First American Financial Corporation Policy Governing the Recovery of Certain Incentive Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”), any Company Arrangement or any plan or policy, including any other clawback policy, in any case reasonably adopted by the Company from time to time, Shares or PRSUs awarded under this Agreement shall be subject to clawback, forfeiture, recoupment or similar requirement. For purposes of this Section, “Company Arrangement” shall mean any employment agreement with the Company or any of its current or future subsidiaries, affiliates or other related companies (each a “Related Company”); the Company’s Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan and Management Supplemental Benefit Plan; any stock option, restricted stock, stock appreciation right or other equity compensation plan of the Company or any Related Company (including, without limitation, the Plan); any pension plan and pension restoration plan of the Company or any Related Company; any deferred compensation plan of the Company or any Related Company; any other employee benefit plan of the Company or any Related Company; any change-of-control or similar agreement to which the Company and/or any Related Party and the Participant are parties; any Confidential Information and Inventions Agreement between the Company and the Participant; and any amendment, restatement or successor to any of the foregoing.

13.
Notices.

All notices by the Participant or the Participant’s assignees shall be addressed to First American Financial Corporation, 1 First American Way, Santa Ana, California 92707, Attention: Incentive Compensation Plan Administrator, or such other address as the Company may from time to time specify. All notices to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the Participant’s address in the Company’s records.

14.
Severability.

In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

15.
Waiver.

The Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

16.
Other Plans.

The Participant acknowledges that any income derived from the PRSUs shall not affect the Participant’s participation in, or benefits under, any other benefit plan or other contract or arrangement maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. Dividend Equivalents paid on Earned PRSUs shall not be deemed to be “Covered Compensation” under such plans.

 

17.
Electronic Delivery.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

18.
Imposition of Other Requirements.

The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the PRSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company

determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
