Sample Business Contracts
Capital Loss Agreement - Agere Systems Inc. and Kevin P. Pennington
Employment Forms
- Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
- Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Kevin:
This letter will modify your employment agreement dated December 27, 2000 (the “Letter”). Terms used herein and not defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Letter.
Agere Systems Inc. (“Agere”) agrees that if, prior to December 27, 2003, your employment with Agere is terminated for any reason other than “cause,” and if you have not entered into a contract for the sale of your house for a contracted sale price at least equal to the “minimum price” within three months after any such termination, and provided that you have used your best efforts to sell your house for at least the minimum price, Agere will, at its option, either (i) purchase the house from you at the minimum price or (ii) reimburse you for any difference between the minimum price and actual price at which you contract for the sale of
your house. For purposes of this Letter, the “minimum price” is your initial purchase price and up to $350,000 of additional documented capital improvements.
If you agree, please indicate by signing the enclosed copy of this letter.
