Employment Agreement - YP Corp. and Peter J. Bergmann

Employment Forms

  • Employment Agreement. Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
  • Consulting Agreement. Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
  • Commission Agreement. Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
  • Executive Employment Agreement. Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
  • Sales Representative Contract. Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

<PAGE>
               (iv) expiration  of  the  Term  without  renewal  or  extension;

the  Company's  written policies and procedures, as in effect from time to time;
provided,  however,  that  with  respect  to  (i),  (iii)  or  (iv)  above, such
termination  for  Cause will only be effective if the conduct constituting Cause
is  not  cured  by  Executive  within  30 days of receipt by Executive of notice
specifying  in  reasonable detail the nature of the alleged breach. For purposes
of  this  subparagraph  (c), no act or omission by Executive shall be considered

reasonable  belief  that  such  act  or  omission  was  in the best interests of
Company,  and  any  act  or  omission by Executive based upon or consistent with

               (iii)  the  Company's  breach  of  any  material  term  of  this
Agreement;  provided  that in all cases Executive will have provided the Company
with  notice and not less than a 15 calendar day opportunity to cure the conduct
that  Executive  claims  constitutes  Good  Reason;  and/or

               (iv) a  Change  of  Control  shall have occurred. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Change of Control" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the
Company's  2003  Stock  Plan.

     9.   Compensation  in  Event  of Termination. Upon termination of the Term,
          ------------------------------------
this Agreement will terminate and the Company will have no further obligation to
Executive  except  to  pay  the  amounts  set  forth  in  this  Section  9.

Executive  or his estate, conservator or designated beneficiary, as the case may
be,  will  be entitled to payment of any earned but unpaid Annual Salary for the
year  in  which  the  Executive's  employment  is terminated through the date of
termination,  as  well  as  any  accrued  but  unused vacation, reimbursement of
expenses  and  vested benefits to which Executive is entitled in accordance with
the  terms  of  each  applicable  Employee  Benefits  plan.

          (b)  In  the  event  Executive's  employment is terminated pursuant to
Section  8(a)(v) or (vi) on or before the expiration of the Term, Executive will
be  entitled  to  receive  on the date of termination, as his sole and exclusive
remedy,  a  lump  sum amount equal to 18 months of payments that Executive would
receive  under  the  Agreement  if  his employment with the Company had not been
terminated,  including,  but  not limited to, the Annual Salary in effect at the
time  of  termination  and  bonuses  (payable at time they would be otherwise be
payable),  vacation,  benefits  and  reimbursement  of  expenses.

          (c)  In  the event that it shall be determined by the Company's public
accounting  firm  that  any  payment  or  distribution  by  the  Company  or its
affiliated companies to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable
or  distributed  or  distributable  pursuant  to  the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise,  but  determined without regard to any adjustment required under this
Section  9(c)  (a  "Payment")),  would  be  subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section  4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any amendment,
replacement  or  similar  provision  thereto,  or  any interest or penalties are
incurred  by Executive (other than interest or penalties incurred as a result of
Executive's  failure  promptly  to  file  appropriate tax returns or amended tax
returns  after  notification  of  such  determination  by  the  Company's public
accounting firm) with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with
any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Excise  Tax"),  then  Executive  shall  be  entitled  to receive within 30 days
following  such  determination  or  such  occurrence,  as  the  case  may be, an
additional  payment  (a "Gross Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment
by Executive of the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive will
retain  an amount equal to the amount he would have retained had no Exercise Tax
been  imposed.

relationship  with  the  Company.

          (b)  Employees.

               (i)  Executive  recognizes  that,  as  a  result  of  Executive's
association  with  the  Company,  he will possess confidential information about
other  employees  or  consultants  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  and
affiliates  relating  to  their  education,  experience,  skills,  abilities,
compensation and benefits, and their interpersonal relationships with customers.
Executive  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  the information he possesses or will
possess about these other employees or consultants is not generally known, is of
substantial  value  to  the  Company  and  its  affiliates  and  subsidiaries in
developing its business and in securing and retaining customers, and is, will be
or  may  be  known  to  Executive  because  of  his employment with the Company.

               (ii) Accordingly,  Executive  agrees  that, while employed by the

               (iv) The  provisions  of  Sections  11(a) and (b) above shall not
apply  in  the  event  that Executive terminates this Agreement for Good Reason.

     12.  Rights  and  Remedies  upon  Breach.  In  the  event  that  Executive
          -----------------------------------
breaches,  or  threatens  to  breach, any of the material agreements or material
covenants  set  forth herein, the Company will have the right and remedy to seek
to  obtain  injunctive  relief,  it  being  agreed that any breach or threatened
breach  of  any  of  the  confidentiality,  nonsolicitation or other restrictive
covenants  and agreements contained herein would cause irreparable injury to the
Company  and  that  money damages would not provide an adequate remedy at law to
the  Company.

     13.  Dispute  Resolution.  Except  for  an  action  exclusively  seeking
          ------------------
injunctive  relief,  any  disagreement, claim or controversy arising under or in

of  employment  with  the  Company  will  be resolved exclusively by arbitration
before  a  single  arbitrator  in  accordance  with  the  National Rules for the
Resolution  of  Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the
"Rules"),  provided  that, the arbitrator will allow for discovery sufficient to
adequately  arbitrate  any  statutory  claims,  including  access  to  essential
documents  and  witnesses;  provided further, that the Rules will be modified by
the arbitrator to the extent necessary to be consistent with applicable law. The
arbitration  will  take  place  in Phoenix, Arizona. The award of the arbitrator
with  respect to such disagreement, claim or controversy will be in writing with
sufficient explanation to allow for such meaningful judicial review as permitted
by  law,  and  that  such decision will be enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction  and  will be binding on the parties hereto. The remedies available
in arbitration will be identical to those allowed at law. The arbitrator will be
entitled  to  award  reasonable  attorneys'  fees to the prevailing party in any
arbitration  or judicial action under this Agreement, consistent with applicable
law.  The Company and Executive each will pay its or his own attorneys' fees and
costs  in  any  such  arbitration,  provided  that, the Company will pay for any
costs,  including  the arbitrator's fee, that Executive would not have otherwise
incurred  if the dispute were adjudicated in a court of law, rather than through
arbitration.

     14.  Binding  Agreement.  This  Agreement  is  a  personal contract and the
          ------------------
rights  and  interests  of  Executive  hereunder  may  not be sold, transferred,
assigned,  pledged,  encumbered or hypothecated by him, provided that all rights
of  the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by
Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, heirs, administrators,
successors,  distributors,  devisees  and  legatees.

          (b)  In  addition  to any obligations impose by law upon any successor
to  Company  (whether  direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all or substantially all of the assets of Company, by agreement in
form  and  substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to
perform  this  Agreement  in  the  same  manner  and to the same extent that the
Company  would  by  required  to  perform if no such succession had taken place.

     15.  Disclosure  Obligations.  During  the  Term,  Executive agrees to make
          -----------------------
prompt  and  full  disclosure  to  the  Company  of  any  change  of  facts  or
circumstances  that  may  affect  Executive's  obligations  undertaken  and
acknowledged  herein,  and  Executive  agrees  that the Company has the right to
notify  any  third party of the existence and content of Executive's obligations
hereunder.
