Preusming you did not sign the second agreement, the first agreement would is the only one that would control and be enforcible.  Even if the company made a mistake. in order for that mistake to affect the terms of the first agreement, both parties (you and they) would have to had made the same mistake. If both parties to an agreement make mistakes regauring matierial (signifianct/important) terms of the agreement, either party can recind (cancell) the contract which is what the employment agreement actually is.
