Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement [Amendment No. 1] - AFC Enterprises Inc. and Frederick B. Beilstein

Employment Forms

Employment Contract. 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.

If upon expiration of the term of this Agreement or if Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement without cause or other than (a) by reason of Employee’s death or Disability or (b) for Cause, the Company shall pay or provide to Employee, in lieu of all other amounts payable hereunder or benefits to be provided hereunder, the following:

(i) a payment equal to the sum of two (2) times Employee’s Base Salary at the time of termination;

(iii) if the Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.03 prior to August 31, 2005, a payment equal to (a) a prorated portion of the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above based on the proportion that the number of days

from January 1 in the year of such termination through and including August 31, 2005 bears to the total number of days in the year of termination less any amount of Employee’s Base Salary and Target Incentive Pay for the 2005 fiscal year that that has been previously paid to Employee (it being understood that the amount described in this clause (iii) shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, the payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and it also being understood that the payment described in this clause (iii) shall be in full satisfaction and in lieu of any entitlement by the Employee under the Company’s Target Incentive Plan), plus (b) an amount equal to the payment described in Section 9.02 of this Agreement; or

(iv) if the Employee’s employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.03 on or after August 31, 2005, a payment equal to a prorated portion of the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above based on the proportion that the number of days from January 1 in the year of such termination through and including the date of termination bears to the total number of days in the year of termination less any amount of Employee’s Base Salary and Target Incentive Pay for the year in which the termination occurs that that has been previously paid to Employee (it being understood that the amount described in this clause (iv) shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, the payments described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and it also being understood that the payment described in this clause (iii) shall be in full satisfaction and in lieu of any entitlement by the Employee under the Company’s Target Incentive Plan); and

(v) the acceleration of any unvested rights of Employee under any stock options or other equity incentive programs such that they shall immediately vest under the terms of such plans.

As a condition precedent to the requirement of Company to make such payments or grant such accelerated vesting, Employee shall not be in breach of his obligations under Section 10 hereof and Employee shall execute and deliver to Company a general release in favor of the Company in substantially the same form as the general release then contained in the latest Severance Agreement being used by the Company.

Any Payments required to be made under this Section 8.03 shall be made to Employee within thirty (30) days after the date of Employee’s termination of employment.
