Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement [Amendment No. 2] - AFC Enterprises Inc. and Gerald J. Wilkins

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.

        SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 8, 2000
                                    BETWEEN
                     AFC ENTERPRISES, INC. (THE "COMPANY")
                                      AND
                        GERALD J. WILKINS ("EMPLOYEE")


     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee entered into an Employment Agreement
dated as of December 8, 2000, which was amended by that certain First Amendment
to Employment Agreement effective as of January 1, 2001, governing the terms and
conditions of Employee's employment with the Company (the "Employment
Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to amend certain provisions of the
Employment Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties
agree as follows:

     1.  Section 1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to change
"Section 8" to  "Section 8 or Section 9" in the first sentence.

     2.  Section 6.07(b) of the Employment Agreement is being revised to
eliminate provisions regarding the ability of the Chief Executive Officer or the
Board of Directors of the Company to decrease the amount of benefits being
provided. Therefore, Section 6.07(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 6.07(b) is inserted in
lieu thereof:

         (b) Anything in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, and 6.04 to the contrary
         notwithstanding, the amount of the benefits provided for in this
         Section 6 are subject to adjustment as shall be provided for in the
         plan or insurance contract, as the case may be, pursuant to which such
         benefit is being paid and the Employee will be given written notice of
         any such change.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
         notwithstanding, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors
         shall have full authority to make all determinations deemed necessary
         or advisable for the administration of the benefits described in this
         Section 6.  Subject to Section 12.04, the good faith interpretation
         and construction by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of
         Directors of the terms of this Section 6 or the benefit programs
         described herein shall be final, conclusive and binding on Employee.

     3.  Section 8.01(b) of the Employment Agreement is being revised to ensure
that the definition of "Disability" is consistent with the "maximum elimination
period of ninety (90) days" referred to in Section 6.03(a) of the Employment
Agreement, by amending the language to require a consecutive ninety (90) day
period of Disability.  Therefore, Section 8.01(b) is deleted in its entirety,
and the following new Section 8.01(b) is inserted in lieu thereof:
<PAGE>

         (b) Disability. The term "Disability" shall mean the good faith
         determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors
         of the Company that Employee has failed to or has been unable to
         perform his duties as the result of any physical or mental disability
         for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days during any one period of
         Disability.

     4.  Section 8.03 of the Employment Agreement is being revised to clarify
that: (A) the Company may terminate Employee without Cause; and (B) if Employee
is terminated for any reason (other than by death, disability, or for Cause),
including, the Company's failure to renew the Employment Agreement upon
expiration of the term, then the Employee will be entitled to certain post-
employment payments.  Therefore, Section 8.03 of the Employment Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 8.03 is inserted in
lieu thereof:

         8.03  Termination by the Company for other than Death or Disability or
               ----------------------------------------------------------------
         for Cause.  The Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder
         ---------
         without cause at any time, upon written notice.  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 (i) by reason of Employee's death or
         Disability or (ii) 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: (a) a payment equal to the sum
         of one (1) times Employee's Base Salary at the time of termination;
         (b) a payment equal to one (1) times Employee's Target Incentive Pay
         for the year in which such termination occurs (or, if no Target
         Incentive Pay has been designated for such year, then the Target
         Incentive Pay for the last year in which it was designated prior to
         such termination); and (c) 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, at the election of the Company, either within thirty (30)
         days after the date of Employee's termination of employment or, at the
         Company's election, in fifty-two (52) equal installments, payable at
         the same time and on the same basis as was the payment of Employee's
         Base Salary prior to such termination.

     5.  Section 9 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to change "the
owners or all" to  "the owners of all" in the first sentence of subsection (a).

     6.  The Employment Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby reaffirmed and
restated herein by the undersigned, and said Employment Agreement is hereby
incorporated herein by reference as fully as if set forth in its entirety in
this First Amendment.

                                       2

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be executed
and Employee has hereunto set his hand this 31st day of August, 2001, effective
as of January 1, 2001.
