Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement - NaviSite Inc. and Kenneth Hale

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.

Mr. Kenneth Hale
Chief Financial Officer
NaviSite, Inc.

Dear Mr. Hale:

          The purpose of this letter is to set forth the terms and conditions of
your employment with NaviSite, Inc. (the "Company") for the period from August
2, 2001 to and through September 30, 2001 and as extended thereafter by the
parties (the "Term").

          During the Term you will continue in the position of Chief Financial
Officer and will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO"). You
will be compensated as described below.

          In addition to your current base salary and stock options, which shall
continue as currently compensated, on August 3rd, 2001 the Company will pay you
$37,500. On September 30, 2001 the Company will pay you $37,500. In the event
that your employment is extended for an additional thirty days from September
30, 2001, the Company shall pay you $10,000 on October 31, 2001. If your
employment is voluntarily terminated by you or by the Company for Cause (as
defined in the Executive Retention Agreement between the Company and you dated
on or about April 13, 2001 (the "Executive Retention Agreement")), you shall
return a portion of the August payment set forth above to the Company as set
forth below.

          The portion to be returned is determined by multiplying the payment by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in August
2001 after the date your employment terminates and the denominator of which is
the number of days included in August 2001. No repayment of the payment shall be
required if your employment ends during the Term due to termination by the
Company without Cause or because of your disability or death. If you terminate
your employment for Good Reason you shall be deemed to have been terminated by
the Company without Cause. The term "Good Reason" shall have the same meaning as
in the Executive Retention Agreement. In the event your employment is
voluntarily terminated by you or by the Company for Cause after August 2001, you
will forfeit any unpaid payments described herein. In the event of a termination
without Cause by Company, you will be paid in full for the Term.

          The Company shall have the right to withhold taxes from any payment to
be made hereunder to the extent required by any applicable law or regulation.

terminated as of August 2, 2001.
