Progressive Management & Consulting, Inc., of 0000 X. Xxxxxx Xxx., #000, Xxx
Xxxxx, XX 00000.
In this Agreement, the party who is contracting to receive services shall be
referred to as ""ANC"", and the party who will be providing the services shall
be referred to as ""PM&C"".
"PM&C" has a background in business consulting and is willing to provide
services to "ANC" based on this background.
"ANC" desires to have services provided by "PM&C".
Therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. Beginning on January 01, 1999, "PM&C" will
provide the following services (collectively, the "Services"):
Bookkeeping services
Audit preparations
SEC filing preparations
2. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES. The manner in which the Services are to be
performed and the specific hours to be worked by "PM&C" shall be determined by
"PM&C". "ANC" will rely on "PM&C" to work as many hours as may be reasonably
necessary to fulfill "PM&C"'s obligations under this Agreement.
3. PAYMENT. "ANC" will pay a fee to "PM&C" for the Services based on $
500.00 per month. This fee shall be payable monthly, no later than the last
day of the month following the period during which the Services were
performed. Upon termination of this Agreement, payments under this paragraph
shall cease; provided, however, that "PM&C" shall be entitled to payments for
periods or partial periods that occurred prior to the date of termination and
for which "PM&C" has not yet been paid.
4. TERM/TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate by either party upon 30
days written notice to the other party.
5. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. It is understood by the parties that "PM&C" is
an independent contractor with respect to "ANC", and not an employee of "ANC".
"ANC" will not provide fringe benefits, including health insurance benefits,
paid vacation, or any other employee benefit, for the benefit of "PM&C".
6. DISCLOSURE. "PM&C" is required to disclose any outside activities or
interests, including ownership or participation in the development of prior
inventions, that conflict or may conflict with the best interests of "ANC".
Prompt disclosure is required under this paragraph if the activity or interest
is related, directly or indirectly, to:
- any activity that "PM&C" may be involved with on behalf of "ANC"
7. CONFIDENTIALITY. "PM&C" recognizes that "ANC" has and will have the
following information:
- business affairs
- process information
- technical information
and other proprietary information (collectively, "Information") which are
valuable, special and unique assets of "ANC" and need to be protected from
improper disclosure. In consideration for the disclosure of the Information,
"PM&C" agrees that "PM&C" will not at any time or in any manner, either
directly or indirectly, use any Information for "PM&C"'s own benefit, or
divulge, disclose, or communicate in any manner any Information to any third
party without the prior written consent of "ANC". "PM&C" will protect the
Information and treat it as strictly confidential. A violation of this
paragraph shall be a material violation of this Agreement.
8. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. If it appears that "PM&C" has
disclosed (or has threatened to disclose) Information in violation of this
Agreement, "ANC" shall be entitled to an injunction to restrain "PM&C" from
disclosing, in whole or in part, such Information, or from providing any
services to any party to whom such Information has been disclosed or may be
disclosed. "ANC" shall not be prohibited by this provision from pursuing
other remedies, including a claim for losses and damages.
9. RETURN OF RECORDS. Upon termination of this Agreement, "PM&C" shall
deliver all records, notes, data, memoranda, models, and equipment of any
nature that are in "PM&C"'s possession or under "PM&C"'s control and that are
"ANC"'s property or relate to "ANC"'s business.
10. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be deemed delivered when delivered in person or deposited
in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

written notice to the other in the manner set forth above.
11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the
parties and there are no other promises or conditions in any other agreement
whether oral or written. This Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral
agreements between the parties.
12. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be modified or amended if the amendment is
made in writing and is signed by both parties.
13. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall
continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any provision of
this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such
provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be
deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
14. WAIVER OF CONTRACTUAL RIGHT. The failure of either party to enforce any
provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation
of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance
with every provision of this Agreement.
15. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Nevada.
