Consulting Relationship During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will provide consulting services to the Company (the “Services”). Consultant shall use Consultant’s best efforts to perform the Services such that the results are satisfactory to the Company. Any consulting relationship between the Company and Consultant, whether commenced prior to or upon the date of this Agreement, shall be referred to herein as the “Consulting Relationship”.
Employment Relationship Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are superseded by this letter agreement. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than you).
Independent Relationship Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties hereto or any of their agents or employees, or any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party. Neither Party shall have any power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
Consulting Arrangement The Company hereby engages Consultant as an independent contractor and not as an employee, to render consulting services to Xxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc. only and to no other company as hereinafter provided; ; this agreement is based on clear acknowledgement that ALL services are solely for XxxxXxxx.xxx, Inc. and the implementation of its corporate and business plans alone. Services therefore remain very focused and DO NOT need to address the many Corporate Consolidation Issues under prior proposals. In addition, Consultant hereby accepts such engagement for a period commencing on August 1, 2002, and ending on the August 1, 2003. Consultant agrees that Consultant will not have any authority to bind or act on behalf of the Company. Consultant shall at all times be an independent contractor hereunder, rather than an agent, coventurer, employee or representative of the Company. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that Consultant may engage directly or indirectly in other businesses and ventures and shall not be required to perform any services under this Agreement when, or for such periods in which, the rendering of such services shall unduly interfere with such other businesses and ventures, providing that such undertakings do not completely preempt Consultant's availability during the term of this Agreement. Neither Consultant nor his employees will be considered by reason of the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise as being an employee of the Company or as being entitled to participate in any health insurance, medical, pension, bonus or similar employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company for its employees. Consultant shall report all earnings under this Agreement in the manner appropriate to its status as an independent contractor and shall file all necessary reports and pay all taxes with respect to such payments.

No Employment Relationship Whether or not any Options are to be granted under this Plan shall be exclusively within the discretion of the Plan Administrator, and nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as giving any person any right to participate under this Plan. The grant of an Option shall in no way constitute any form of agreement or understanding binding on the Company or any Related Company, express or implied, that the Company or any Related Company will employ or contract with an Optionee, for any length of time, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Company’s or, where applicable, a Related Company’s right to terminate Optionee’s employment at any time, which right is hereby reserved.
At-Will Employment Relationship Executive’s employment with the Company is at-will and not for any specified period and may be terminated at any time, with or without Cause or advance notice, by either Executive or the Company.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.
