Employment Agreement - InfoSearch Media Inc. and Steve Lazuka

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.

Disability) after a written demand by the Board for substantial performance is

manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially
performed his duties and responsibilities, which willful and continued failure
is not cured by the Executive within thirty (30) days of his receipt of said
written demand; (b) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a

the written demand referred to in paragraph 12(c)(i)(a), or pursuant to
paragraphs 11(c)(i)(b) or (c) by delivery to the Executive of a written notice
from the Board, either of which shall specify the basis of such termination, the
conduct justifying such termination, and the particulars thereof and finding
that in the reasonable judgment of the Board, the conduct set forth in paragraph
11(c)(i)(a), 11(c)(i)(b) or 11(c)(i)(c), as applicable, has occurred and that
such occurrence warrants the Executive's termination of employment. Upon receipt
of such demand or notice, the Executive, shall be entitled to appear before the
Board for the purpose of demonstrating that "Cause" for termination does not
exist or that the circumstances which may have constituted "Cause" have been
cured in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 11(c)(i). No termination
shall be final until the Board has reached a determination regarding "Cause"
following such appearance.

                  (iii) Upon termination of this Agreement for "Cause," the
Company shall have no further obligations or liability to the Executive or his
heirs, administrators or executors with respect to compensation and benefits
thereafter, except for the obligation to pay the Executive any earned but unpaid
base salary, unpaid pro rata annual bonus and unused vacation days accrued
through the Executive's last day of employment with the Company, including any
carryover days. The Company shall deduct, from all payments made hereunder, all
applicable taxes, including income tax, FICA and FUTA, and other appropriate
deductions.

responsibilities; or (c) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company. The

percent of the outstanding voting securities of such company after any such
transfer; (c) any person or persons (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of

commencement by any entity, person, or group (including any affiliate thereof,
other than the Company) of a tender offer or exchange offer where the offeree
acquires more than 50 percent of the then outstanding voting securities of the
Company.

                  (iii) The Executive shall be entitled to terminate this
Agreement and his employment with the Company for "Good Reason" provided that he
has delivered written notice to the Company of his intention to terminate this
Agreement and his employment with the Company for "Good Reason" within five (5)
business days after either (a) the date on which the Executive receives written
notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event included within the
meaning of "Good Reason" under paragraph 11(d)(i) hereof or (b) the date on

good faith performance of his job duties pursuant to this Agreement. The Company

      16. Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree that any dispute or claim,
whether based on contract, tort, discrimination, retaliation, or otherwise,
relating to, arising from, or connected in any manner with this Agreement and
the terms and conditions of the Executive's employment with the Company shall be
resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration under the auspices of
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration shall be held in
the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York. The arbitration shall proceed in
accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in effect at the time the claim or
dispute arose, unless other rules are agreed upon by the parties. The
arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator who is a member of the AAA,
unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. The arbitrators shall have
jurisdiction to determine any claim, including the arbitrability of any claim,
submitted to them. The arbitrators may grant any relief authorized by law for
any properly established claim. The interpretation and enforceability of this
paragraph of this Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9. U.S.C. ss.1, et seq. More
specifically, the parties agree to submit to binding arbitration any claims for
unpaid wages or benefits, or for alleged discrimination, harassment, or
retaliation, arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal
Pay Act, the National Labor Relations Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family and Medical Leave Act,
the Fair Labor Standards Act, Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the
United States Code, COBRA, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York
City Human Rights Law, and any other federal, state, or local law, regulation,
or ordinance, and any common law claims, claims for breach of contract, or
claims for declaratory relief. The Executive acknowledges that the purpose and
effect of this paragraph is solely to elect private arbitration in lieu of any
judicial proceeding he might otherwise have available to him in the event of an
employment-related dispute between him and the Company. Therefore, the Executive
hereby waives his right to have any such employment-related dispute heard by a
court or jury, as the case may be, and agrees that his exclusive procedure to
redress any employment-related claims will be arbitration.

of this Agreement and from the Executive's employment by the Company, including,

Agreement, as money damages for a breach thereof would be incapable of precise
estimation, uncertain, and an insufficient remedy for an actual or threatened
breach of paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 of this Agreement. The Parties agree that any
pursuit of equitable relief in respect of paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 of this
Agreement shall have no effect whatsoever regarding the continued viability and
enforceability of paragraph 16 of this Agreement.

breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach
