WHEREAS, the Consultant was employed with the Company pursuant to that EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, INCLUDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT entered into in September 2006 and effective as of May 19, 2006, as amended by that certain FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, INCLUDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT dated as of April 11, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”);

NOW, THEREFORE, Consultant and the Company hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Independent Contractor.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby engages the Consultant as an independent contractor to perform the services set forth herein, and the Consultant hereby accepts such engagement.  This Agreement does not create an employment relationship, and nothing about this Agreement shall be construed to render Consultant an employee of the Company for any purpose.  Further, nothing about this Agreement shall be construed to render Consultant a partner or joint venturer with the Company for any purpose.  The Consultant is and shall remain an independent contractor in his relationship to the Company.

 

a.             No Insurance or Benefits.  The Company will not be liable for, and will not provide Consultant with coverage or compensation for, health, dental, disability, unemployment, accident, life, or worker’s compensation insurance, or any other insurance not expressly stated in this Agreement, unless required by law.  The Company will not be liable for, and will not provide Consultant with, vacation pay, sick leave pay, retirement benefits, social security pay, or any other benefits not expressly stated in this Agreement, unless required by law.

b.             Litigation Support.  The Consultant shall cooperate fully with the Company, specifically including any attorney retained by the Company or its affiliates, in connection with the prosecution or defense of any pending or future litigation, arbitration, business, or investigatory matter.  Such cooperation may include, but shall not be limited to, the Consultant making himself available for interviews by any such attorney, and providing direction, documents and/or information to the extent feasible.  When feasible, the Company will provide Consultant with reasonable notice of the need for such assistance, to schedule such assistance in such a manner as not to interfere with any employment obtained by the Consultant.

 

3.             Term and Termination.

 

a.             Term.  The term of this Agreement is twenty-six (26) months from the Effective Date (the “Term”).  This Agreement will terminate of its own accord and without prior notice at the conclusion of the Term, without any further action required by either Party, unless terminated earlier as provided herein, or unless the Parties renew or extend this Agreement by separate written addendum.

 

b.             Cause Termination.  The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice, for Cause.  For the purpose of this Paragraph, “Cause” shall mean (i) Consultant’s felony conviction; (ii) Consultant’s theft, misappropriation and/or misdirection of Company funds and/or property; (iii) Consultant’s misappropriation and/or misdirection of Company business opportunities; and/or (iv) Consultant’s material violation of this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Paragraph, if the Cause in issue is susceptible to cure, then Company shall provide Consultant with advance written notice of such Cause, and a fifteen (15) day period to cure or remedy such Cause; provided further, that the Board of Company shall have the sole discretion to determine whether such Cause is subject to cure, and if so, whether the Consultant successfully effected a cure following notice.  Termination of this Agreement for Cause shall include the immediate and prospective termination of any further payments or other consideration recited in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement (including subparts).
