A "good" stud contract is in the eyes of the beholder <g>. 
 
I developed mine by sitting down and thinking about what was important to me, 
what I wanted the contract to accomplish, and the breeders I'd be working 
with.  Then I asked several experienced stud owners if they'd share their 
contract with me ...so I could pick up any considerations I'd overlooked.  
Next, I asked several experienced breeders for their perspective...what they 
liked to see in a contract- what they didn't like- what they considered fair 
and reasonable.

I used all of those inputs to write out a draft contract, which I sent to a 
breeder friend (who's very experienced AND knows my priorities inside and 
out) for comment.  I incorporated her feedback and ended up with a contract 
that reflects my priotities but is flexible enough to tweak to meet the 
specifics of individual breedings and breeders.
