Olin Ordnance ultimately succeeded in persuading Mr. Palmer
to agree to act as a consultant at its Marion plant. On Septem-
ber 12, 1994, Mr. Palmer and Olin Ordnance entered into an
agreement entitled “OLIN CONSULTING AGREEMENT” (September 12,
1994 Olin/Palmer consulting agreement) which superseded as of
September 12, 1994, the May 2, 1994 Olin/Palmer consulting
agreement. Pursuant to the September 12, 1994 Olin/Palmer
consulting agreement, Olin Ordnance retained Mr. Palmer as an
independent contractor to provide certain consulting services at
its Marion plant under the direction of R.R. Harris (Mr. Harris)
who was employed by Olin Ordnance at that plant. That agreement,
as executed on September 12, 1994, provided that it was to
continue for a period of up to nine months after September 12,
1994. On September 15, 1994, the September 12, 1994 Olin/Palmer
consulting agreement was modified to provide that the term of
that agreement was to continue until March 31, 1995, and thereaf-
ter on a month-to-month basis for a period of three months,
