This authors contract template is a variation on the Author Agreement (licence, royalty, standard) document. Instead of the author being remunerated by way of a royalty, a (much simpler) fee-based remuneration provision is included. In consideration for the fee, then the author licenses the copyright in the work to the publisher.
