Sample Business Contracts


Executive Employment Agreement [Addendum No. 3] - First Cash Financial Services Inc. and Phillip Eric Powell

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.

      2.   Base Salary.   As  a result  of Executive  meeting the  stipulated
 performance criteria  established by  the Board  for 2001,  the  Executive's

 Addendum be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other  provisions

 provisions determined  to  be illegal  or  unenforceable and  shall  not  be
 effected thereby.

 d.   Choice of Law.   This Addendum shall be  governed by, and construed  in
 accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas.

 part of this Addendum.

 with the same effect as if  all parties had signed  the same document.   All
 such counterparts shall be deemed an  original, shall be construed  together
 and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

  executed and delivered as of the day first above written.
