Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement - Internet Capital Group Inc. and Robert Pollan

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.

Dear Bob:

We are proud to extend you an offer to join Internet Capital Group as a Managing
Director.  We have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know you over the past year
and are excited at the prospect of having you join our team.

What follows is a summary of what would be expected of you as a Managing
Director of Internet Capital Group as well as your compensation.  We believe
this is an extraordinary opportunity for us to build our core management team
and hope that you share our enthusiasm for the Company and the opportunities we
are trying to capitalize on.  It is expected that your day to day
responsibilities with Internet Capital Group ("ICG") will be focused on working
with and mentoring the management teams of the ICG portfolio companies in the
value/supply chain markets.  In addition, as a Managing Director, your input and
help will also play a critical role in ICG's strategy and investment process.
It should be understood that like the companies we invest in, ICG is a very
entrepreneurial and flat organization.  As a result, you will find that your day
to day tasks will vary greatly, and include far more than is outlined above.

     potential bonus of $100,000 a year. The parameters for the bonus will be
     outlined in ICG's 1999 plan. For 1998, Internet Capital Group will
     guarantee your bonus pro-rated for the actual number of months of your
     employment. For example, if your employment begins July 1st, your bonus
     will be 6/12 of $100,000 or $50,000.

Equity
------

 .    Internet Capital Group will grant you non-qualified stock option stock in
     the amount of one and 3/4 percent of the Company. These shares are priced
     at two dollars and will vest over a five-year period. In addition, if

Finally, if there is an ICG investment where we have the opportunity to
personally invest, you will have the opportunity (on a pro-rata basis) to co-
invest as well.  We are proud to extend you this offer and look forward to
working with you to capitalize on the unique opportunity that entrepreneurship
and the Internet create.

Best personal regards,
