Sample Business Contracts

Termination of Employment Agreement - Manugistics Inc. and Keith Enstice

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.

employed since June 20, 1983.  It is acknowledged that you will terminate
your employment relationship with Manugistics as of close of business,

agreement between the parties. The parties agree to the following terms:

1.   Termination Date.

     Your Severance Period will begin on your Severance Date, January 31,
1999 and continue through July 31, 1999. You will not be required to
perform company work during your Severance Period except as otherwise noted
in this Agreement.  You will receive your current base pay during the
period January 31, 1999 through April 30, 1999, a period of thirteen (13)
weeks.  You will receive Severance pay and current benefits during this
thirteen (13) week period even if you should secure employment with another
employer.  Your period of severance will continue from April 30, 1999 and
through July 31, 1999 without pay and benefits except as provided for in
paragraph 1a. of the AGREEMENT.

Your termination of employment from Manugistics will be effective as of

stock options through this Termination Date even if employment is secured
prior to July 31, 1999.

1a.       Extension of Severance Period with Pay and Benefits.

     In the event you have not begun full time professional employment with
     another employer by May 1, 1999, and you have made a good faith effort
     to secure such employment, your severance pay and benefits will be
     continued through July 31, 1999 (maximum 13 weeks), or until full time
     professional employment begins with another employer, whichever occurs
     first.
<PAGE>

2.   Reason for Termination.

     It is mutually agreed by the parties that you have resigned your
     employment with Manugistics in order to secure employment that is more
     aligned with your career objectives and philosophy.  Following the
     public announcement of your resignation on January 19, 1999, you
     discontinued your official duties and responsibilities as Sr. Vice
     President of Manugistics, EXEC member and officer of the company.

3.   Severance Pay.

     severance period.

     b.  Manugistics may offset against any amounts due to you under this
     Severance Agreement:  (a) all amounts due from you to Manugistics; and

     possession which is not returned to Manugistics by the Severance Date.


4.   Benefits.

     affect any rights or obligations you have otherwise accrued under
     Manugistics benefit plans, including Manugistics Insurance Plans, and

    enforceable until such seven-day revocation period has expired.

8.   Noninterference.

     You agree to maintain a cooperative attitude toward Manugistics, not
     to disrupt Manugistics ongoing business, and not to make disparaging
     remarks about Manugistics.  You agree to act in good faith in your
     conduct and to refrain from any involvement in the business affairs of
     Manugistics except as provided in this section or expressly directed
     by your manager.  You also agree to be available by telephone and in
     person until Termination Date to the extent that Manugistics
     reasonably finds such necessary.  If you receive any questions
     concerning the daily business affairs of Manugistics, including
     questions from customers of Manugistics, you agree to promptly refer
     them to your manager.  Manugistics agrees to promptly refer personal
     messages/inquiries to you, to act in good faith and not to make
     disparaging remarks about you.

9.   Noncompete.

     For six (6) months after Manugistics makes the last payment under
     this agreement, you agree not to directly or indirectly:

     a. Solicit, attempt to solicit or contact for the purpose of
     soliciting for employment (for you or for any other person or
     business) any employee of Manugistics.

     b. Solicit, attempt to solicit or contact for the purpose of
     soliciting (for you or for any other person or business) any person or
     business which was a customer of Manugistics that you had personal
     involvement with during the period October 19, 1998 to January 19,
     1999., or, any person or business to whom Manugistics had proposed
     future service to (Attachment 1)  The solicitation restrictions of
     this paragraph apply to you if you are associated with or
     representing, directly or indirectly, any interest with products and
     services that are in direct competition with a major part of the
     Manugistics product line that exists as of this date.

     c.  Seek or accept employment with I2 or SAP in any capacity.
     Employment opportunities with Baan, PeopleSoft, Synquest, Logility,
     Numetrix or Oracle must be approved, in writing, by Bill Gibson before
     being pursued in earnest.  Such approval shall be based on the degree
<PAGE>

     to which your employment with the aforementioned employers will have
     adverse impact on Manugistics ability to compete.  Such approval shall
     not be unreasonably withheld.  You will be authorized to seek
     employment with any employer not noted in this paragraph.  Once you
     have begun employment with a new employer, you agree to notify
     Manugistics' Director of Human Resources, in writing, with the
     employer's name and address, date of employment, your new job title
     and a brief description of job duties.

     You understand that you cannot disclose any confidential information
     and/or trade secrets of Manugistics as set out in your Conditions of
     Employment or applicable law.  Breach of any of the obligations in
     the Code of Conduct or Conditions of Employment are deemed a breach of
     this AGREEMENT.  Paragraphs 9a, b, and c supersede similar language in
     the Conditions of Employment.

     d.  Both parties agree that your consent to your obligations under
     this Noncompete Section is an important consideration for Manugistics
     to enter into this Agreement and that these obligations are meant to
     protect Manugistics confidential information which is a valuable asset
     and could be used by its competitors to Manugistics detriment.  You
     understand the value of this provision to Manugistics, and you also
     agree that Manugistics may not be able to fully protect its rights
     through money damages.  Therefore, you understand that Manugistics may
     seek injunctive relief in order to ensure that this provision is
     enforced.  If a court with proper jurisdiction finds that this
     provision is too broad, both parties agree that the court may limit it
     so that it may be enforced to the fullest extent possible.

10.  Reaffirmation of Your Obligations.

     You agree to reaffirm the obligations under the Manugistics Employee
     Code of Conduct and the Manugistics Conditions of Employment to which
     you have been bound since your first day of employment by Manugistics.
     Receipt of Manugistics benefits as noted in this Agreement or
     elsewhere, are subject to your full compliance with the Manugistics
     Code of Conduct and Conditions of Employment.


11.  Entire Agreement.

     This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties with regard
     to your employment with Manugistics, and the termination of your
     employment, and supersedes all previous communications between you and
     Manugistics relating to your employment or termination.
<PAGE>

12.  Confidentiality.

     You hereby agree to keep the terms of this Agreement confidential and
     not to disclose this Agreement with anyone other than your tax or
     legal advisors, without Manugistics' consent which will not be
     unreasonably withheld.  Manugistics will only disclose the terms of
     this Agreement to its tax and legal advisors and those Manugistics
     employees whose position reasonably requires such knowledge.

13.  Acknowledgment of Understanding.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF
THIS AGREEMENT.  YOU ALSO AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN COERCED IN ANY MANNER
WITH REGARD TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND HAVE AGREED TO THESE TERMS AFTER FULL AND
FAIR NEGOTIATION.
