means an employee may quit or be terminated with or without cause and with or

practices or procedures, whether oral or written, form any express or implied
agreement to continue such practices or procedures. No promises or assurances,
whether written or oral, which are contrary to or inconsistent with the limitations set
forth in this paragraph create any contract of employment unless: 1) the terms are put
in writing, 2) the document is labeled “contract,” 3) the document states the duration
of employment, and 4) the document is signed by the President, CEO or member of
the Board of Directors of Jones-Hamilton Co. Other than the aforementioned
individuals, no manager, supervisor, or employee of Jones-Hamilton Co. has any
authority to enter into an agreement on behalf of the Jones-Hamilton Co. for an
employment for any specified period of time or to make an agreement on behalf of the
Jones-Hamilton Co. on other than at-will terms.
