Re: Amendment to Employment Agreement
Dear John:
          This agreement (referred to herein as “Amendment”) amends your Employment Agreement dated November 22, 2004, as previously amended on August 24, 2005 (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”) with CA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). In accordance with the provisions of Section 13(g) “Amendments and Waivers” of the Employment Agreement, this Amendment amends your Employment Agreement as follows:
1. Your Position
          You agree that Section 1(a) “Position” of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended such that, effective on the date hereof, you will cease to be President of the Company and will continue to serve the Company only in the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. You will remain a member of the Board.
2. Good Reason
          You agree that your relinquishing the title of President and any reduction in your authority, responsibilities and reporting relationships occurring now or in the future by reason of this change in your title and position shall not constitute “Good Reason” under Section 5(c)(1) “Termination by You for Good Reason” of the Employment Agreement, so long as you remain the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
3. Effects on Other Agreements; Entire Agreement
          You agree that from and after the date hereof, Section 10 of the Employment Agreement “Effects on Other Agreements; Entire Agreement” will be deemed to refer to the Employment Agreement and this Amendment.

 


 

4. Employment Agreement Governs
          You agree that this Amendment will be governed by and subject to all the terms set forth in the Employment Agreement as if it were part of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement. Except as modified herein, all of the terms of your Employment Agreement remain in full force and effect.

          This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which will constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one amendment. However, this Amendment will not be effective until the date both parties have executed it.
                 
        Very truly yours,    
        CA, Inc.

     THIS AMENDMENT dated February 29, 2008 to the Employment Agreement entered into by and between CA, Inc.

W I T N E S S E T H
     WHEREAS, the Company has promoted the Employee to the position of President and the Company and Employee desire to amend the Employment Agreement to reflect such appointment,
     WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement provides in Section 7(d) that any amendment must be in writing executed by the parties,
     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee hereby agree that except as otherwise explicitly amended herein, all other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Employment Agreement, as amended, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     1. The first paragraph of Section 1 of the Employment Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
          1. Employment, Duties, Authority and Work Standard. The Company hereby agrees to employ Employee as President, and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Employee hereby accepts such position and agrees to serve the Company and its affiliates from time to time (the “Group”) in such capacity during the Employment Period (as defined in the Employment Agreement). The Employee shall report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Employee’s duties, responsibilities and authorities shall include but not be limited to those he has on the date hereof and any other duties, responsibilities and authorities consistent with his job title as specified by the Chief Executive Officer from time to time. The Employee will (a) serve the Company (and such of its subsidiary companies as the Company may designate) faithfully, diligently and to the best of the Employee’s ability under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer, (b) devote his full working time and best efforts, attention and energy to the performance of his duties to the Company and (c) not do anything inconsistent with his duties to the Company

 


 

[EXHIBIT 99.3]

     4. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
     5. This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this agreement to be executed by them or their duly authorized representatives as of the date first written above.
