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.
Leasing Arrangements From the Effective Date through Closing (the "Contract Period"), without Purchaser's prior written consent in each instance, Seller will not amend or terminate any existing Lease or enter into any new Lease without Purchaser's prior written consent (which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion). Without limitation thereon, any and all Leases to be entered into during the Contract Period shall be on Seller's standard lease form delivered to Purchaser and otherwise on terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser. If Purchaser fails to grant or withhold its consent to any proposed Lease within five (5) days of receipt thereof, Purchaser shall be deemed to have consented to such Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser's consent shall not be required with respect to any renewal Lease or consent to a sublease or assignment of Lease which Seller, as a matter of law or by a Lease, shall be required to deliver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller reserves the right, but is not obligated, to institute summary proceedings against any Tenant or terminate any Lease as a result of a default by the tenant thereunder prior to the Closing Date. Seller makes no representations and assumes no responsibility with respect to the continued occupancy of the Property or any part thereof by any Tenant. The removal of a Tenant prior to the Closing Date, whether by summary proceedings (or any written agreement accepting surrender or termination of the Lease subsequent to the commencement of such summary proceedings) or unilateral act of such Tenant, shall not give rise to any claim on the part of Purchaser; provided, however, Purchaser shall have the right within ten (10) days of the removal of any Tenant as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of any portion of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit previously tendered by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further rights and obligations to one another except for those obligations expressly stated herein to survive. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) and Purchaser shall proceed to Closing without credit against, or reduction of, the Purchase Price.
