Employment Agreement [Amendment No. 1] - Digital Domain Inc. and Mark Miller

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.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This is Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment"), dated as of September 18, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), to the Employment Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2006 (the "Agreement"), between Mark Miller ("Employee") and Digital Domain, Inc. (the "Company").

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Base Salary. The first sentence of Paragraph (a) of Section 2 of the Agreement shall be amended, effective as of the Effective Date, by being replaced in its entirety with the following:

"(a)  In consideration for all rights and services provided by Employee, Employee shall receive an annual base salary of $616,000.00 (the "Base Salary")."

2. Expenses and Benefits. Section 5 of the Agreement shall be amended, effective as of the Effective Date, by inserting the following two paragraphs after Paragraph (f) thereto:

"(g)  The Company shall reimburse Employee for reasonable travel expenses incurred by Employee with respect to his regular weekly commute between San Francisco/Oakland and Los Angeles, e.g., economy class airfare, taxi fees and/or parking charges.

(h)  The Company shall provide Employee a reasonable housing allowance to rent a residence in the Los Angeles area during the term of the Agreement. The housing allowance is currently estimated at $4,000 - $5,000 per month; provided, however, that adjustments thereto may be made at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company (or the compensation committee thereof) based on fluctuations in the rental market proximate to the Company's offices."

3. Conditional Stock Option Acceleration. Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in Section 4(c) of the Agreement, if the Term of the Agreement is mutually extended for an additional period of one year commencing on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Second Anniversary") and ending on September 29, 2009 (in accordance with the terms of Section 2 of the Agreement), then that portion of the Option which has not vested as of the Second Anniversary shall immediately vest on the date that is two (2) years after the grant date of that portion of the Option. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the parties may also agree to so extend the Term by a writing signed and mutually delivered by the parties any time prior to the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Second Anniversary.
 
 
4. Miscellaneous. It is the express intention of the parties hereto to ratify and reaffirm the terms and conditions of the Agreement, as amended concurrently herewith. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Agreement and the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall prevail. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and delivered by facsimile.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement to be executed as of the Effective Date.
