Employment Agreement On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive agrees to be employed by the Company for the Employment Period set forth in Section 2 hereof and in the position and with the duties set forth in Section 3 hereof. Terms used herein with initial capitalization are defined in Section 10.12 below.
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.
