Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement [Amendment No. 3] - Mikohn Gaming Corp. and Dennis A. Garcia

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.

         set forth in this Section 6.10, this Agreement may not be terminated by
         MIKOHN without good cause. Upon termination of employment by Employee
         or for good cause, Employee's compensation provided herein shall cease
         and terminate without any further right of Employee to any further
         compensation or consideration by reason of his employment with MIKOHN
         hereunder. Employee may be terminated without good cause only with the
         approval of the President and the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

         expiration of this Agreement without renewal by MIKOHN, MIKOHN shall
         pay to Employee a sum equal to Employee's Base Salary for the most
         recent calendar year. Said sum shall be paid in full upon the effective
         date of the termination of the employment relationship between MIKOHN
         and Employee. Except as provided, in this Section 6.10 Employee
         expressly waives all rights and remedies, legal and equitable, arising
         from or related to any alleged breach of this Agreement by MIKOHN.
