Clauses & Antecedents

Can someone help me with the breakdown of the following sentence structure? I am afraid that my bias may be skewing my evaluation.


"Employee’s term of employment hereunder shall commence on January 1, 2016 and shall continue until December 31, 2021 (the “Term”)."


Is this a single clause or is it two? Does the "the Term" define the entire sentence or just "January 1, 2016 and shall continue until December 31, 2021"?

Legal Minds 1985 Employee’s term of employment hereunder shall commence on January 1, 2016 and shall continue until December 31, 2021 (the “Term”). This is a simple sentence with a compound predicate. That's one clause, though I don't see why any of this is relevant.
