Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement [Supplement] - AvantGo Inc. and Paul Kanneman

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.

                                       and
                           CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT
                                   SUPPLEMENT


This is to clarify some aspects of the Offer Letter to Paul Kanneman  dated July
12, 2001, and the Change of Control Agreement dated August 1, 2001.

1. The term  "restricted  stock"  as used in the  Offer  Letter  means the stock
cannot be sold by Paul for 12 months from the date of grant.


2. The "graduated bonus schedule" referenced in section 4 of the Offer Letter is
attached hereto as Schedule A.

3. The last  sentence  of section  2(a)(ii)  to the Change of Control  Agreement
states:

         "In addition, if the Employee's employment is terminated as a result of
         an Involuntary  Termination other than for Cause, the Employee shall be
         entitled to receive six (6) months base salary at current  rate of pay,
         the last  quarter's  performance  bonus  amount,  and  payment of COBRA
         insurance coverage for the six (6) month severance term."

                  The phrase "the last  quarter's  performance  bonus amount" is
                  intended to mean that if Paul is  terminated  during his first
                  year of employment,  he would not receive the Guaranteed Bonus
                  for any  calendar  quarter  in which he is no longer  employed
                  with AvantGo.  If Paul is  terminated  after 12 full months of
                  employment  with AvantGo,  this sentence would  effectively be
                  interpreted to read:


         "In addition, if the Employee's employment is terminated as a result of
         an Involuntary  Termination other than for Cause, the Employee shall be
         entitled to receive six (6) months base salary at current  rate of  pay
         and payment of COBRA insurance coverage for the six (6) month severance
         term."
