AGREEMENT entered into this 26th day of September, 2004, by and between Walt
Disney World Company, hereinafter called “Company” and Actors’ Equity
Association, hereinafter called “Equity”.

SECTION I. RECOGNITION

1. PURPOSE.
Actors’ Equity Association and Walt Disney World Company acknowledge their
individual and collective responsibilities to advocate and promote conduct that is
responsible, non-abusive, and tolerant of the individuality of those working under this
Agreement.

Therefore, the parties hereto have entered into this Agreement to establish fair
wages, working conditions, benefits, respect of individual talents and dignity in
treatment, and to put into practice effective and binding methods for the settlement
of all misunderstandings, disputes, or grievances that may arise between the parties
hereto, to the end that the Company is assured complete continuity of operation and
that labor-management peace is maintained and performers are guaranteed union
rights and protection as provided by this Agreement.

2. RECOGNITION.
(A) The Company recognizes Equity as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent
of the full-time and casual performers of the Company in the classifications of
Chorus, Chorus Stepping-Out and Principal (hereinafter referred to as
performers), excluding non-resident aliens under an appropriate visa (see also
Rule 3, ALIENS.), students working in the College Program or EPCOT Institute
of the Arts, and third-party sub-contractor performers. Students in the College
Program or EPCOT Institute of the Arts will not perform in regularly scheduled
shows with full-time performers in a classification as specified above, but may
perform in separate productions as well as special events in combination with
full-time performers.
(B) Employment Status.
(1) Casual Temporary performers shall be defined as those performers hired
during seasonal expansion periods, for special events or conventions or as
substitutes. A casual temporary may be contracted as a full-time substitute
for a performer(s) on leave of absence for up to 20 weeks.
(2) Casual Regular performers shall be defined as performers who are
signed to an Individual Employment Contract guaranteeing at least one day
of work per week. A casual regular may be contracted as a full-time
substitute for a performer(s) on leave of absence for up to 20 weeks.
(3) Full-Time performers shall be defined as performers who are contracted
as Principal, Chorus, or Chorus Stepping-Out to work for four or more days
per week and at least 30 hours per week for a period of no less than 14
weeks, excluding a maximum three week rehearsal period. The 14 week
period begins with the first public performance.
(4) Any casual performer who exceeds the above-referenced minimums
shall be immediately signed to a Full-Time Individual Employment Contract
and benefits shall be retroactive.
2
(C) During the term of this Agreement, the Company will provide to Equity in
writing on a monthly basis a list of the names of any third-party subcontracted
performers or, if applicable, the producer of such performance act and its name
or description, the performance property in which the performer(s) appeared
during the month and the date(s) performer was engaged. In the case of non-
resident aliens for whom the Company has petitioned for the visa, the type of
visa issued will be reflected on the report. This reporting requirement will take
effect beginning with the first quarter of the 2001 calendar year.

3. ALIENS.
Non-resident aliens may not be employed except as follows:
(A) Non-resident aliens of unique ability may be employed in self-contained acts
in performances which are culturally authentic to the specific country
represented.
(B) Prior to employing non-resident aliens, as specified in (A) above, in any
situation where bargaining unit members are currently employed under an
Individual Employment Contract, the Company will: (1) notify Equity; and (2)
work in collaboration with Equity to identify qualified citizens or resident aliens
who fulfill the requirements of the position. The parties agree that the Company
retains the right to make reasonable final casting decisions.
(C) During the term of this Agreement, where a non-resident alien performer is
employed by the Company under (A) or (B) above, the Company will provide to
Equity in writing on a quarterly basis a list of the name, date of employment,
performance property, country of origin and type of visa of each non-resident
alien performer employed during the previous quarter. This reporting
requirement will take effect beginning with the third quarter of the 1997 calendar
year.

4. SCOPE.
(A) The scope of this Agreement shall apply to any area within the 30,500+
acres of the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT, including but not limited to the
MAGIC KINGDOM, EPCOT, DISNEY-MGM STUDIOS and DISNEY’S ANIMAL
KINGDOM Theme Parks, DOWNTOWN DISNEY, DISNEY’S BOARDWALK,
hotels, motels, golf facilities, campsites, airport facilities, boats and boat

RESORT performer assigned to make special appearances at locations within
the geographical jurisdiction of Equity.

(A) General Provisions. The Company agrees to hold auditions for performers.
The following conditions shall apply:
(1) Among the auditions held, there shall be auditions for Equity performers.
(2) The Company is under no obligation to hire any person pursuant to any
audition procedure including the procedure for Equity performers set forth in
(B) and (C) below.
(3) The Company shall make such reasonable accommodations as may be
appropriate in fulfillment of its obligations under the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 with respect to auditions. Where appropriate, Equity
agrees to cooperate with that effort upon request of the Company.
(4) Casting Requirements. Casting requirements shall be submitted to the
Orlando Equity office in writing with as much advance notice as possible, but
not less than ten days prior to the audition and shall be posted on Equity
Call Boards throughout the property and at the audition site.
(5) An individual with casting authority (that is, one who can effectively
recommend performers for employment) must be present at all times during
auditions.
(6) Procedures. Performers may be "typed-out" prior to any segment of the
audition based upon the casting requirements. Following the typing-out
audition segment, all remaining auditionees may be required to vocalize
and/or participate in a movement combination. Either a Choreographer
and/or Assistant Choreographer shall be present at all dance auditions. A
Tumbling Coordinator shall be present at all tumbling/gymnastic auditions.
(7) Safe and Sanitary Provisions. All audition spaces shall comply with the
fire laws of the city or state in which auditions are held. The Company shall
provide an audition room, a holding room, and a lavatory facility in the
building housing the audition. The Company shall ensure that dance, stunt,
gymnastics or movement auditions shall not take place on carpet, concrete
or marble floors or on any other substance laid directly over such surfaces
which do not provide adequate air space and resilience. Mats and padding
which meet U.S.A. Gymnastics (U.S.A.G.) or National Collegiate Athletic
Association (N.C.A.A.) standards shall be provided at all tumbling auditions.
(8) Liability Insurance. The Company shall provide liability insurance at all
auditions. In the event of injury, the auditionee should contact the
Company's representative at the audition for the proper procedure for filing a
claim.
(9) Accompaniment. A piano accompanist, who can sight read, will be
provided, if required, at vocal and/or dance auditions.
(10) Equity will make every effort to provide monitors for all auditions which
take place in cities where Equity maintains an office or a Liaison Committee.
(B) Required Auditions.

4
(1) At least two days of Equity auditions will be held each year in New York
City and at least four additional days total of Equity auditions, which may be
scheduled in a minimum of two hour segments, will be held in Orlando and
at least two other cities in which Equity has an office or Liaison Committee.
Equity shall provide the Company annually with a list of such cities.
(2) The Company will hold an in-house open, general audition for all
performers on the following basis:
(a) Six times per year for acting, singing and dancing disciplines;
(b) Two times per year for the stunt discipline.
Performers may audition for any shows or roles for which they wish
future consideration. Audition notices will be conspicuously posted on
the Equity Call Boards throughout the property ten days prior to the
audition. Performers will audition on their own time but the Company
will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the work schedules of
performers in the Equity unit.
(C) Scheduling and Notification.
(1) National Audition Tour. The Company shall submit to the Orlando Equity
office a schedule of all auditions (nationwide) a minimum of 30 days prior to
the audition. New York and Chicago auditions will be scheduled through the
appropriate Equity Audition Center.
(2) Local Auditions. When the Company is conducting auditions in Orlando
(except for call-backs*), audition notices will be conspicuously posted on the
Equity Call Boards throughout the property ten days prior to the audition so
that interested performers may request an audition. Those performers may
attend on a call-back day at a scheduled appointment on their own time.

*A call-back audition shall be a scheduled appointment for performers


selected by the Company to be auditioned for a specific role or show.

(3) New Productions. When the Company is casting a new show, the
Company will hold local auditions. Audition notices shall be posted on the
Equity Call Boards throughout the property ten days prior to the audition so
that interested performers may request an audition. The Company will
make reasonable efforts to accommodate the work schedules of the
performers in the Equity unit. A copy of the script, storyboard or cast
breakdown for the new show shall be submitted to the Equity office at the
time audition notices are posted.
(4) Conventions/Special Events. If auditions are to be conducted for a
special event or convention, the Company will fax an audition notice to
Equity and post the notice on Equity Call Boards three days prior to the
audition.
(5) Any Company-required audition shall be paid at the performer's
appropriate rate.

5
6. AGENTS.
Any agent who acts for the Company, either as a casting consultant or packager,
with or without fee, does not represent the performer in securing employment with
the Company. Said agent shall not, therefore, be entitled to commissions from the
performer. The Company shall not directly or indirectly require the performer to sign
a contract at or through an agent’s office.

7. ¹EXCLUSIVE SERVICE.
(A) Exclusive Service on Property.
(1) Individual performers or groups may work for an outside production
company that will be performing their services on the WALT DISNEY
WORLD RESORT property (as outlined in Rule 4, SCOPE.) in work covered
under this Agreement, provided the performer gives the Company first right
of refusal with no more than 30 days notice.
(B) ¹Individual performers or groups may not advertise themselves for outside
employment purposes as currently employed by Walt Disney World Company or
any of its components.
(C) Performers may not appear in a recognizable manner on any commercials
for other theme parks, Central Florida tourist attractions, or resorts which are in
direct competition with the Company.
(D) ¹Performers have a primary obligation to the Company as full-time employer
and will not accept work for other employers which interferes in any fashion with
their obligation to the Company without written permission from the Company.

8. ¹CONTRACTS.
(A) Notification. The Company shall notify the Orlando Equity office of any new
performer employee as soon as possible, but no later than two days after the
employee begins work. The notification will provide the performer’s name, social
security number, work location and, if known, the schedule of the performer’s
first week of employment.
During the term of this agreement, the Company will provide to Equity in writing
on a monthly basis, a list of non-bargaining unit substitutes. This list will include
name, date, show and role.
(B) Forms. The Parties agree upon the utilization of individual employment
contracts between the Company and the performers. Said contracts shall be
signed first by the Company and must be signed by both parties prior to the
performer’s date of travel or first day of employment, whichever comes first.
Said contracts will be on a mutually agreed upon standard contract form and the
Company, the performer and Equity will receive an original copy of the executed
contract. Nothing in the individual employment contract shall serve to lessen the
terms of this Agreement.
(C) Blanks. All blanks (e.g., starting date, statused show, classification, salary,
estimated relocation expenses, type of venue (indoor/outdoor), etc.) must be
filled in before signing or delivery. Principal contracts for statused show must
state name of part, role, roles or assignment to an acting Company. Examples:

6
Show Classification Role
Epic Stunt Show Principal Indy
Streetmosphere Principal Acting Company
Comedy Warehouse Principal Acting Company
Dapper Dans Principal Tenor, Baritone
Any “cross-outs” or corrections must be initialed by both the performer and the
Company. Both the Company and the performer shall exercise due care in
handling original contracts to ensure that they remain clean and free of
extraneous markings.
(D) Time Limits.
(1) The performer shall have five business days from receipt of the contract
or renewal offer to examine the offer and discuss details with Equity and/or
the Company, after which time the signed documents shall be returned to
the Company or they may be considered no longer valid.
(2) The Company shall mail an original copy of the contract to Equity within
seven days of receipt of the signed contract from the performer.
(E) Riders. All changes (including the addition or deletion of roles), alterations or
substitutions must be in writing, signed by both parties, and made a part of the
Individual Employment Contract with an original copy to Equity.
(F) Changes Subsequent to Contract Signing. The Company may not make a
change to the terms and/or conditions of the Individual Employment Contract
unless the performer agrees by means of a rider. If the performer and the
Company cannot agree to the terms of the change, one of the following shall
apply:
(1) The change shall not be implemented for said performer; or
(2) The performer, if willing, shall be transferred to another show, if possible;
or
(3) The performer’s contract may, by mutual consent, be terminated with no
less than four weeks notice.
(G) Productions Canceled. Should the Company cancel a new production prior
to the start of employment, the Company may terminate any outstanding new
contracts for said production by giving no less than two weeks’ notice or by
giving no less than one week’s notice and paying one week of contractual
salary, plus paying any relocation expenses which cannot be avoided. Should
notice be less than one week, the Company will pay two weeks contractual
salary plus all unavoidable relocation expenses. In the case of contracts which
stipulate less than one full week of employment, salary payments due under the
above formula will be 50% of the total contracted amount if one week’s notice is
given or the full contracted amount if less than one week’s notice is given.
(H) Renewal of Contract. On those Individual Employment Contracts that have
an expiration date, the performer will be notified in writing, with a copy to Equity,
of the Company's intention either to renew or not renew the Individual
Employment Contract no less than four weeks prior to the expiration of his
Individual Employment Contract.
7
(1) If a performer’s Individual Employment Contract is not renewed the
performer shall receive the following pay at their current statused rate:

Years of Continuous Service Amount of Pay


Less than 3 -0-
3–5 2 weeks
6–9 3 weeks
10 or more 4 weeks
(2) Re-audition. If a performer's contract renewal is in question, said
performer may request an audition.
(3) Salary Negotiations. To insure privacy, any and all individual salary
issues or settlements are to be privately discussed between the Casting
Manager, or his designee, and the Area Manager and the performer and, at
the performer’s choosing, his representative and/or interpreter.
(I) Two Weeks Notice. Either party may terminate the contract by giving the
other party two weeks written notice. However, after the probationary period
(see Rule 11), the Company may only terminate the performer’s contract for
inability to perform up to standard or for just cause [see Rule 12(G)(1) and
12(G)(2)].
(J) Notice. All termination notices must be in writing. Copies of all notices must
be filed with Equity immediately by the party (performer or Company) giving
notice.
(1) Notice to the performer must be given to him personally by the Casting
Manager or his designee and/or the Area Manager or his designee.
(2) A performer who resigns, is laid off, or is not renewed may be assigned
casual temporary status only at the performer’s request.
(3) A performer must be informed of his “rehire” status at the time that the
notice is either given or received by the Company.
(K) Payment When the Performer is Not Allowed to Work Out Notice. If the
performer is not allowed or required to work out any notice properly given under
this Agreement, he shall be paid immediately upon being given notice and he
may forthwith accept other employment.
(L) Rights After Giving Notice When Performer Secures New Engagement.
Should either party give the other any notice permitted under this Agreement
which terminates the Individual Employment Contract at any future date, and
should the performer have or secure a new engagement, he shall be permitted
to attend rehearsals under the new engagement as may be necessary and as do
not conflict with his rehearsals or performances under the existing employment
contract.

9. RELOCATION.
(A) The Company shall provide for full-time performers the following relocation
benefit, provided the performer relocates from outside a 100 mile radius from the
Walt Disney World Resort:

of 18). The Company shall furnish the performer with the means for
payment at least three days in advance of departure.
(2) The cash equivalent of round-trip non-restricted coach air transportation
for the performer and immediate family, as defined in Rule 9(A)(1) will be
provided for relocation from outside the mainland U.S.A. for those originally
relocated. The cash equivalent of return transportation at the conclusion of
employment must be requested within 60 days from date of termination or
transfer from the unit; however, the Company shall consider extenuating
circumstances in granting extensions to the 60 day requirement.
(3) The cash equivalent of seven days temporary housing. Individual
extensions may be agreed to at the Company’s sole discretion.
(B) The Company shall provide for full-time performers the following relocation

(1) Mileage costs at the prevailing federal government mileage rate or the
current Disney standard mileage rate, whichever is higher;
(2) The cash equivalent of seven days temporary housing. Individual
extensions may be agreed to at the Company’s sole discretion.
(C) Each performer to be relocated shall sign a relocation agreement, either
prior to or concurrent with signing the Individual Employment Contract, which
states the estimated cost of relocation prior to the actual relocation. An itemized
accounting of the relocation expenses incurred on the performer’s behalf and
any taxes deducted from same shall be provided to the performer.
(D) Where the Company assigns to the performer a credit card type payment
means, the performer shall not make unauthorized charges. Prior to issuance,
the Company shall provide the performer with detailed guidelines for use of the
credit card, including specific examples of authorized and unauthorized types of
charges.
(E) Reimbursement.
(1) A performer who voluntarily resigns during the initial term of the
performer’s Individual Employment Contract, not to exceed 12 months, shall
be liable to repay to the Company the entire relocation expense.
(2) Should the Company terminate the Individual Employment Contract
within the initial term, not to exceed 12 months, except as specified in Rule
12(G)(1), Just Cause Terminations, the Company shall provide the
performer the cash equivalent of non-restricted coach air transportation.
(3) Individual exemptions of relocation reimbursement may be granted at the
Company’s sole discretion.
(4) In the case of performer reimbursement to the Company, the performer
shall be provided with the appropriate form(s) indicating the adjustment in

(F) The Company shall assist performers in finding appropriate housing within
the seven days of temporary housing provided. During that week, the performer

9
will be given a reasonable opportunity during business hours to locate and
arrange for banking, housing and utilities. An extension of housing for an
additional seven days will also be considered based on the circumstances.

10. ¹RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PERFORMER.


(A) The performer shall be prompt at all calls.
(B) The performer shall perform his services as directed by the stage director/
choreographer, and shall conform to the language of the script.
(C) The performer shall pay strict regard to performance make-up and dress.
(D) The performer shall check his costume and props.
(E) The performer shall respect the physical property of the production and of the
Company.
(F) The performer shall maintain a professional attitude toward and relationship
with his production colleagues.
Failure to abide by these responsibilities may require the performer to attend a
meeting of a Performers Relations Committee, convened by Equity, composed
of three to five employees from the bargaining unit.

11. ¹PROBATIONARY PERIOD.


The parties agree that the first eight weeks of employment shall be considered a
probationary period, during which the Company shall have the right to terminate the
contract of employment for any reason. The relocation week(s) shall not be included
in the eight week probationary period. Probationary period terminations are not
subject to the grievance procedure.

12. ¹DISCIPLINE, STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AND TERMINATION.


(A) Standard of Conduct. High standards of conduct are necessary to preserve
the Company’s and the performer’s public image and to insure a safe,
harmonious and productive working atmosphere. The Company shall administer
the sections of this Article with due consideration for the performer. Such
consideration shall include length of service, work record, and seriousness of
violation. The Company will make every effort to ensure the consistent
application of the disciplinary section of this Agreement.
(B) Discipline. Discipline must be for just cause. The performer being
disciplined shall be advised of his right to have the presence and advice of the
Equity Business Representative, or if unavailable, an Equity Deputy, before any
disciplinary action or questioning for the purpose of such action is taken.
(C) Investigatory Suspensions. A performer may be suspended from work so
that the Company may complete a thorough investigation and review of an
alleged incident/offense. In circumstances where an investigatory suspension
extends beyond two weeks, a performer shall be paid on a weekly basis until
such time that the suspension is concluded and an employment decision is
administered by the Company. At the conclusion of the suspension, the
performer will receive one of the following:
(1) No discipline and a return to work with full back pay, or,

10
(2) Verbal or written discipline in accordance with (D)(1) or (D)(2) below and
a return to work with full back pay, or,
(3) Disciplinary suspension in accordance with (E) below, or,
(4) Termination in accordance with (G) below.
(D) Reprimands. In administering progressive disciplinary action, the Company
will make its determination based on the factors specified in 12(A) above:
(1) Verbal Reprimands. Verbal reprimands for less serious violations may
be given and should indicate that a reprimand is being administered relative
to a specific subject or subjects.
(2) Written Reprimands. Written reprimands may be given to an individual
after one verbal reprimand for the same type of offense or upon a single
occurrence, when the offense is of a more serious nature, but not serious
enough to warrant immediate dismissal. Whenever the Company reduces a
reprimand to writing, it shall be signed by the Manager who will present and
discuss the reprimand with the performer. A copy will also be submitted to
Equity via certified US mail, e-mail or fax. It shall also be signed by the
performer, not in admission of the offense, but in acknowledgment that a
copy of the reprimand has been received by the performer. The disciplined
performer may write a rebuttal to any written reprimand. Such rebuttal shall
be attached to and remain with the written reprimand for inclusion in the
performer’s personnel file. The written reprimand should briefly state the
reasons for the reprimand, including dates of prior discipline, if any, issued
in the six month period prior to the offense for which the written reprimand
notice is given.
(E) Disciplinary Suspensions. A performer may be suspended without pay for a
period not to exceed two weeks in lieu of termination. A suspension may be
issued based on a single occurrence or may be part of a disciplinary
progression. The parties recognize, however, that the use of suspension is not
a mandatory component of the disciplinary progression.
(F) Disciplinary Duration. Verbal reprimands, written reprimands and
suspensions shall not be considered as a basis for further disciplinary action
after 12 months from the date of issue.
(G) Terminations.
(1) Just Cause. Except as specified in Rules 11 and 12(G)(2), a performer
may only be terminated for just cause, which includes, but is not limited to
the following:
(a) Insulting, arguing, being discourteous or using profane language in
the presence of a guest;
(b) Fighting at the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT, regardless of who
provokes it;
(c) Falsification of records, such as medical forms, time cards or
employment applications;
(d) Using, being in possession of or being under the influence of
narcotics, intoxicants, drugs or hallucinatory agents at any time during
the work shift or reporting to work under such conditions;

11
(e) Conviction of, or plea of guilty to, any morals charge, felony or
misdemeanor other than minor traffic offenses; acceptance of a pre-trial
diversion to any morals charge or felony;
(f) Violation of operating rules and procedures which may result in
damage to Company property or in bodily injury to fellow performers or
guests;
(g) Gambling during the work day;
(h) Dishonesty which is detrimental to the Company;
(i) Continued violation of the Company grooming policy;
(j) Unauthorized leave of absence or failure to return from a leave or
vacation;
(k) Excessive tardiness or absenteeism;
(l) Three consecutive working days of unreported absence;
(m)Willful insubordination;
(n) Misconduct which is detrimental to the Company;
(o) Discrimination;
(p) Harassment due to race, color, creed, sex, age, national origin,
religion, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability;
(q) An accumulation of three written reprimands within a 12 month
period.
(r) Possession of dangerous or unauthorized weapons, i.e., explosives,
firearms, or similar items on Company property.
In all cases of Just Cause termination, the Company shall furnish in writing
to the performer and to Equity the reasons for dismissal.
The Company reserves the right to administer appropriate disciplinary action
in those instances where a performer misrepresents to the Company his
inability to meet his scheduled shift due to personal illness or other reasons,
but is determined to be working as a performer off property during said
scheduled shift. It is understood between the parties that in the event of
serious infractions of this provision, the Company reserves the right to

administrative functions, communication of Company and performance
information to the cast, show maintenance (e.g., brush-up rehearsals,

Lead shall be paid additional compensation over and above their contractual
rate, as follows:
9/26/04 9/25/05 9/24/06 9/23/07

The above rate shall be combined with the performer’s contractual rate to
become his actual hourly rate, subject to all overtime provisions.

maintaining of its original creative intent falls outside the duties of the
Entertainment Manager or Lead, the Company will designate a Dance
Captain on the first day of rehearsal. A Dance Captain is involved with the
following activities as they pertain to dancers/performers: show maintenance
(e.g., brush-up rehearsals, emergency re-blocks and performance notes),
evaluation of performance conditions, and rehearsing new

The above rate shall be combined with the performer’s contractual rate to
become his actual hourly rate, subject to all overtime provisions.
(3) Vocal Captain. Whenever three or more performers sing in harmony and
maintaining the original creative intent of the vocal arrangements falls
outside the duties of an Entertainment Manager or Lead, the Company will
designate a Vocal Captain. A Vocal Captain is involved with the following
activities as they pertain to singers/performers: show maintenance (e.g.,
brush-up rehearsals, emergency reassignments of vocal parts, and

(4) shall be paid $1.25 per hour in addition to the appropriate premium rate.
All premiums will be subject to overtime provisions.
(6) Swings. Swings shall be paid at the rate of 8% above their contractual
rate of pay. Swing pay shall be paid to a performer other than a contracted
Swing if the performer performs three or more tracks or roles in a single day.
(7) No Pyramiding of Rates. There will be no pyramiding of rates of pay for
Dance Captain, Vocal Captain, Lead, Fight/Stunt Captain and Swings. In
cases of combinations of the foregoing, the highest rate shall prevail.
(8) Teacher/Coach.
(a) When a performer teaches or coaches another performer, without
the presence of a designated director or choreographer who participates
in the teaching process, then a premium in pay will be applied to hours
worked in the teacher/coach capacity, with the following exceptions:
(1) When all music, staging, choreography, direction, etc. is first
introduced and taught by a designated director or choreographer.
This remains true in the absence of the designated director or
choreographer in immediate subsequent rehearsals of the material.
(Any show remounted after six months of non-performance will be
considered a new show.)

existing member of the cast of that show.

highest paid person being coached or the teacher/coach’s contractual
rate of pay, whichever is higher. If a statused Dance Captain, Vocal
Captain, Lead or Fight/Stunt Captain is being coached, the rate will be
10% above the Captain or Lead’s statused rate. A statused Dance
Captain, Vocal Captain, Lead or Fight/Stunt Captain utilized in this

20% above the highest paid performer being coached (exclusive of
Swing pay) whichever is higher.

17. ¹SICK LEAVE.


(A) Eligibility. All performers shall receive sick leave based on the number of
straight-time hours worked from the date of hire to the end of the calendar year
in which hired and for each succeeding calendar year thereafter. Sick leave
earned in the first calendar year of service may not be used until nine months of
continuous service have elapsed from the date and in no event prior to the
beginning of the calendar year following the year in which employed. A
performer reclassified from casual status to full-time status shall receive credit
for the number of straight time hours worked in that calendar year provided he
complies with the eligibility requirements herein.
(B) The following formula shall apply for the accumulation of paid sick leave
hours each calendar year:
Straight Time Hours Worked Earned Sick
in Calendar Year Leave Hours
1800 48
1500 40
1200 32
900 24
600 16
300 8

(1) The maximum amount of sick leave that may be earned in one calendar
year is 48 hours. Unused sick leave may be accumulated up to a maximum
of 160 work hours; any excess over this amount will be paid off at the end of
the year. At the beginning of each calendar year, after the performer has
completed the eligibility requirement, sick leave shall be made available for
his use during that calendar year based on the above-noted hour formula in
the prior calendar year.
(2) Sick leave shall be paid at the rate of pay in effect at the time sick leave
is requested by the performer. In order to be paid sick leave, the performer
must file a request for payment on the appropriate form and submit the form
to his manager. This must be done within three days after the performer
returns to work. In the event that three or more consecutive scheduled
shifts of sick leave are applied for, the Company may request a written
statement from a physician certifying as to the nature and length of
performer’s illness. However, the Company may require proof of illness in
any case if desired, and a performer not furnishing such proof will not be
entitled to sick leave pay. Performers will not be entitled to sick leave during
vacation or days on which they were not scheduled to work. In the event the
performer incurs a non-occupational illness while at work and is released
from the completion of his scheduled shift by the Medical Department, the
performer may apply for sick leave covering the unworked balance of that

19
shift in amounts of one hour. A performer who reports for work after the
start of his scheduled shift due to personal illness shall not be entitled to
apply for sick leave pay covering the period between the start of his shift and
the time the performer actually started to work.
(3) A performer will be paid 100% of all earned sick leave and 50% of
accrued sick leave upon termination except for dishonesty, intoxication, or
illegal use or possession of controlled substances. Terminations for the
three categories listed above will be paid 50% for all earned sick leave. No
payment will be made for accrued sick leave.
(4) With reasonable notice, performers may request the use of seven days
of sick leave per calendar year as personal leave days provided that the
performer’s total sick leave bank does not fall below six days. Approval of
the request shall be at the discretion of the Company, based upon a
consideration of operating efficiency.
(C) Paid sick leave up to a maximum of six days per calendar year will be
credited as time worked for purpose of vacation accrual for the following year.
(D) Performers with one or more years of continuous service who have earned
sick leave available and have not received an attendance reprimand within the
prior 12 months may use up to six paid sick leave days per year without
incurring attendance notations for those absences.

18. ¹HOLIDAYS.
(A) Holidays Observed.
There will be seven core holidays and three personal holidays.
(1) The core holidays are:
New Year’s Day

(2) The three personal holidays may be used on dates mutually agreed to by
management and the performer.
(B) Eligibility.
(1) All regular full-time performers are eligible for holiday pay after working
30 calendar days of continuous service, providing they work their scheduled
days prior to and immediately following such holiday.
(2) If the performer’s failure to work his regularly scheduled day immediately
before or following the holiday was due to personal illness, injury or death in
the immediate family and the performer satisfied the Company in this
respect, he shall be eligible to receive holiday pay.

20
(3) Performers on an authorized leave of absence of six days or longer are
not eligible for holiday pay.
(C) Personal Holidays.
Effective January 1 of each year of this Agreement, all performers with one or
more years of continuous service will be credited with three personal holidays.
Performers with less than one year of service, and performers who are hired or
converted from a casual status to a full-time status after January 1, will be
credited with one personal holiday on each of the following posting dates: March
1, June 1, and September 1. A performer must be statused as a full-time
performer on the posting date to receive the personal holiday.
Personal holidays shall require two weeks advance notice for scheduling and
shall be granted consistent with operational requirements.
Personal holidays will be scheduled and taken within the following provisions:
(1) Must be taken within the calendar year;
(2) May not be carried over from year-to-year, or paid off at time of
termination;
(3) Do not affect the use of sick leave days for personal time off;
(4) Will be considered as time worked for the computation of overtime; and
(5) May only be taken in one full day increment.
(D) Holiday Pay When Holiday is Not Worked. Each performer will receive eight
hours pay at the performer’s regular straight-time rate for each such holiday not
worked.
(E) Holiday Pay When Worked. Each performer who works on a recognized
holiday, and who works his scheduled work day prior to and immediately
following the holiday worked, shall receive eight hours holiday pay plus his
straight-time rate for all hours worked in his scheduled work day.
(F) Double-Time Pay for Hours Over Eight Worked on a Holiday. Double-time
the performer’s regular rate shall be paid for hours worked in excess of eight on
a paid holiday.
(G) Holiday Pay Considered Time Worked for Computing Overtime. Pay for a
holiday not worked shall be considered as time worked for purposes of
computing overtime, unless the holiday falls on one of the performer’s two
regularly scheduled days off or when a holiday falls during a vacation period.
Pay for a holiday not worked shall not be used in computing overtime under the
6th and 7th day provision contained in Rule 30(A)(6), Rehearsal and
Performance Work Rules.
(H) Holiday Pay for Holiday During Vacation. Should a holiday fall during the
period of a performer’s vacation, the performer shall be granted an extra day’s
pay, or the performer may, at his option, schedule an additional day of vacation.
(I) Day Holiday is Observed. Recognized holidays shall be observed on the
date designated for observance by the Federal Government, except for:
New Year’s Day, which shall be observed on January 1st;
Independence Day, which shall be observed on July 4th;
and Christmas Day, which shall be observed on December 25th.
21
(J) No Holiday Pay for Performer Scheduled to Work Holiday and Who Does Not
Work. A performer who is regularly scheduled to work on a recognized holiday
and who does not work shall not receive holiday pay.
(K) Holiday Pay on Day Off When Worked. If a holiday worked falls on one of
the performer’s two regularly scheduled days off, he shall receive eight hours
straight-time holiday pay, plus the rate he would have received if it had not been
a holiday.
(L) Holiday Starts at 8:00 A.M. on Holiday. For the purpose of computing
overtime pay for work on a holiday, the 24 hour holiday period shall commence
at 8:00 A.M. on the holiday and terminate at 8:00 A.M. the following day.
(M)Contracted Casuals. Contracted casuals are not eligible for holiday pay, but
will be paid time and one-half for all hours worked on any of the seven core
holidays referenced in 18(A)(1).
(N) Non-Contracted Casuals. Non-contracted casuals are not eligible for holiday
pay, but will be paid time and one-half for all hours worked on any of the seven
core holidays referenced in 18(A)(1).

19. ¹VACATIONS.

worked, from the date of hire to the end of the calendar year in which hired,
and for each succeeding calendar year thereafter based upon the conditions
set forth in this Rule.
(2) Vacation earned in the first calendar year of service may not be used
until nine months of continuous service has elapsed from date of hire, and in
no event prior to the beginning of the calendar year following the year in
which employed. Vacations thereafter shall be on a calendar year basis.
(3) A performer reclassified from casual status to full-time status shall
receive credit for the number of straight time hours worked in that calendar
year, provided he complies with the eligibility requirements in (1) and (2)
above.

year’s vacation allowance.

(4) Vacations are not cumulative and must be taken within the calendar year
the performer becomes eligible to take his vacation. Vacations not used
within the calendar year in which the performer becomes eligible to take said
vacation shall be deemed to be lost.
In the event a performer is precluded from taking his vacation in the
calendar year in which it should have been taken due to operational
requirements of the Company, said performer shall not lose the vacation,
but shall be scheduled to take the vacation in the first calendar quarter of the
following year.
(5) The Company may not grant, nor the performer request, pay in lieu of
time off for vacation.
(6) Vacations will be paid at the straight time rate in effect at the time the
vacation is taken.
(7) Due to the nature of the Company’s operations and the requirement for
specific skills, vacations will be scheduled by the Company. Management
will make every effort to accommodate vacation requests with the exception
that the Company reserves the right to schedule vacations when

24
performance areas are closed for rehabilitation or refurbishing. In such
instances, the Company will give the performer as much notice as possible,
but in no case less than two weeks written notice of the assigned vacation
dates. In the event the Company cancels a previously scheduled vacation,
the Company will reimburse the performer for any documented direct
unavoidable losses (for example, the cost of non-refundable airline tickets).
(8) If a production cast is assigned a specific vacation period and any
member of the cast does not have sufficient earned paid vacation hours, the
Company may assign said performer to another performing job during that
time. In no case under these circumstances shall there be an unpaid layoff
during the term of the Individual Employment Contract.
(9) Vacation Requests. The performer shall give the Company six weeks
written notice of the dates of a requested vacation, which dates shall be
approved or not approved in writing by the Company within two weeks of
receipt of the written request.
(10) Priority. Should two performers request the same vacation dates,
priority will be given to the first request received. Performers with greater
seniority will be given preference in the event of a conflict of dates affecting
two or more performers, if requests are made at the same time. Seniority
will be determined by Company hire date.
(11) At Termination.
(a) All performers who have been continuously on the payroll for nine
months or longer and who terminate their employment shall receive
payment for all unused and pro rata vacation hours based on the
number of straight-time hours worked in accordance with the applicable
foregoing formula. Where a performer who would otherwise be entitled
to payment for vacation time under this Rule fails to give the requisite
two weeks’ notice provided for under this Agreement, the amount of
vacation to be paid will be reduced by eight hours for each day short of
the two weeks’ notice. Where the number of vacation hours to be paid
is insufficient to allow for this reduction, the sick leave payout, if any,
may be reduced in accordance with this same formula.
(b) The performer will not lose his pro rata vacation allowance in the
case of termination except if terminated for intoxication, dishonesty or
illegal use or possession of controlled substances.

20. ¹PENSION AND WELFARE.


(A) Equity-League Pension Trust Fund Contributions.
(1) Effective January 29, 1995, the Company agrees to make pension
contributions to the Equity-League Pension Trust Fund (the “Fund”) on
behalf of performers it employs within the jurisdiction of Actors’ Equity
Association, at percentages set forth below. Accordingly, the Company
agrees to be bound by and hereby accepts the terms and conditions of the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust, dated March 23, 1961, establishing the
Fund, including all its rules and regulations and any and all amendments
and modifications thereto which may be adopted by its Trustees during the
term of this Agreement. Thus, the Company specifically acknowledges the

25
terms of the Trust Agreement which are incorporated by reference and
made part hereto and agrees, when employing performers covered by this
Agreement within the jurisdiction of Actors’ Equity Association, to provide
reasonable access to all information that the Fund may require, and to
permit the Fund to conduct an audit of the Company’s payroll and wage
records (at the Fund’s expense) to verify the accuracy of the contributions
made.
(2) Contribution Rate. Effective September 26, 2004, the Company shall
make a contribution equal to 6.5% of all gross wages up to a maximum of 40
straight-time hours per week on behalf of each covered performer. It is
agreed that such gross wages shall include any stunt increment paid on the
first 40 hours. Effective September 25, 2005, the contribution rate shall be
6.75%. Effective September 24, 2006, the contribution rate shall be 7%.
(3) Contributions made to the Fund shall be paid over to the Fund’s office
before the 15th day of the calendar month following the month for which the
contributions are made. The Company and Fund shall agree upon the
appropriate information and form which shall be forwarded with the
contributions.
(B) ¹Group Insurance.
(1) During the term of this Agreement, the Company will provide Group
Insurance coverage to all eligible performers as defined by this agreement,
on the same basis as provided to employees covered under the Service
Trades Council Union (STCU) Agreement. It is understood that all Equity
performers who participate in any Company sponsored plan(s) do so on the
same basis as STCU employees generally and that, therefore, future
changes in such plans which are applicable to STCU employees generally
shall apply equally and automatically to performers covered under this
Agreement. By way of example, but not limitation, changes in such plan(s)
may include termination in accordance with the terms of the plan,
substitution of, or merger with, another plan or part thereof, improvements
and modifications in the plan(s), creation of new plan(s), adjustments in
contributions, etc.; all subject to the condition that where the changes apply
equally to STCU employees generally, the Company will not be obligated to
bargain with Equity.
(2) Eligible performers shall be defined as performers whose employment
status is full-time, as defined under this Agreement. Eligible performers’
coverage shall become effective the first day of the month following
completion of 90 days continuous service. The entitlement to benefits under
any particular plan shall be determined exclusively in accordance with the
plan terms and not by arbitration under this Agreement.
(3) In the event that a national health care program is enacted, the parties
will meet to discuss the impact of the legislation.

21. ¹LEAVES OF ABSENCE.


(A) Temporary Leave of Absence. A performer’s request for a leave of absence
not to exceed 30 days will be granted for good cause, if the performer’s services
can reasonably be spared. All leaves of absence will be granted in writing. No
leave of absence will be extended beyond 30 days except for compelling
26
reasons. In the event that a non-medical leave exceeds 60 days, continuation of
the performer’s health care coverage will be subject to COBRA.
(B) Leave to Accept Foreign Disney Employment. A performer accepting a
position with a foreign Disney Theme Park or licensee shall be entitled to a leave
of absence for a period not to exceed one year. During that period of time and
provided the performer has completed the probationary period of employment,
service shall be deemed to be continuous for purposes of retaining (though not
accruing) eligibility for benefits. Should the performer’s leave of absence exceed
60 days, continuation of the performer’s health care coverage shall be subject to
COBRA. A performer who is offered re-employment at the conclusion of his
leave of absence which has been for more than 60 days, but less than one year,
will be returned at no less than the rate at which he left, provided he returns to
the same job classification.
(C) Medical Leave of Absence.
(1) A performer requesting a medical leave of absence must provide a
written statement from their personal physician documenting the reason for
the leave and the beginning date and estimated duration of the medical
leave. Medical leaves of absence will not be approved without appropriate
documentation.
(2) A performer who returns from medical leave of absence within one year
will be returned to his prior position if available, or if that is not possible, in a
role of a similar nature; or the performer may audition for a new role or
show.
(3) A performer who fails to return from medical leave of absence, or to seek
a release to return to work from the medical leave of absence will be
considered to have voluntarily terminated.
(4) A pregnant performer must provide a written statement from her personal
physician documenting any medication which might reasonably affect her
ability to perform her duties, work restrictions, and a designated date beyond
which it is not satisfactory for her to continue working. A pregnant performer
may continue employment as long as medically approved and her physical
appearance in the designated costume for her particular work location does
not detract from the image of the costume’s original theme design. The
Company will find an alternative position for a performer who is displaced
due to costuming restrictions. Reasonable efforts will be made to place the
performer within entertainment, if work is legitimately available, before
placing the performer in a non-entertainment alternative position.
(D) Medical Leaves Exceeding One Year. Those performers who have
accumulated time on occupational or non-occupational medical leave of
absence for more than 52 weeks will have their employment with the Company
terminated. The 52 week period is calculated on a cumulative, as opposed to a
consecutive, basis as outlined below:
(1) If a performer returns from medical leave and works less than 26
consecutive working weeks and is subsequently returned to medical leave,
the performer will continue to accrue time toward the 52 week cut-off
described above.

27
(2) If a performer returns from medical leave and works for a minimum of 26
consecutive working weeks, the performer will begin a new 52 week period.
(3) If a performer returns to work and subsequently returns to medical leave
due to an unrelated medical condition, the performer will begin a new 52
week period.
(E) Leave for Compensable Injury. In the case of any performer on medical
leave as a result of an on-the-job compensable injury, service shall be deemed
to be continuous for purposes of retaining (though not accruing) eligibility for
benefits. A performer returning from a leave for compensable injury will be
placed in his original role or, if that is not possible, in a role of similar nature; or
the performer may audition for a new role or show. A full-time performer
returning from leave for compensable injury that exceeds three weeks will, upon
request, be granted up to four hours of rehearsal prior to returning to
performance. During the rehearsal period, the Company may continue to assign
the performer to light duty to complete the eight hour day.
(F) ¹Jury Duty Leave. All regular full-time performers are eligible for jury duty
pay.
(1) The Company will pay a performer for his regularly scheduled work day,
while serving on jury duty, provided such time shall not exceed eight hours
in any day or 40 hours in any payroll week. Performers shall not be eligible
to receive more than 20 days of jury duty pay in any calendar year.
Deductions of jury duty fees will not be made unless service on the jury
exceeds one week.
(2) If a performer is released from jury duty and four or more hours remain in
his scheduled work day, he is required to return to work that day.
(G) ¹Funeral Leave. All regular full-time performers bereaved by the death of a
member of their immediate family are granted time off with pay for time
necessary to travel to and from the funeral location and attendance at the
funeral.
(1) The deceased must have been a member of the immediate family
household, such as spouse, child, mother, father, brother, sister, mother-in-
law, father-in-law, grandparents, grandchildren or same-sex domestic
partners. If a closer than normal relationship existed between the performer
and the deceased other than those named, consideration will be given
toward the granting of funeral leave pay.
(2) Funeral leave shall be paid up to a maximum of five days. Payment is
available for scheduled work shifts which the individual misses due to travel
time and attendance at the funeral, and will be based on the performer’s
current rate. The relationship of the deceased and the location of the funeral
must be noted on the request for funeral leave pay status.
(3) A performer who is on an authorized leave of absence is not eligible for
this benefit, except that in the case of a performer who is on a leave of
absence to care for a relative covered above, the performer will be eligible
for funeral pay in the event of the death of that relative.

28
(H) Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. The parties agree that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall not conflict with provisions of the Family and
Medical Leave Act of 1993.

24. ¹SAFE AND SANITARY.


It is in the best interest of both the Company and the performer to maintain
performance quality and to protect the health and well being of the performers.
Therefore, the Company shall provide the performer with safe and sanitary places
and conditions of employment.
(A) Weather Conditions. The Company reserves the right to make the final
decision as to whether a show will go on as scheduled, but in making such
decision, it will consider extreme weather, performance location conditions, and
the physical welfare of the performers.
(B) General Standards.
(1) Separate and clean dressing rooms and toilets for male and female
performers will be provided. These shall be separate from guest facilities at
all permanent show facilities. For definitional purposes for this rule,
"permanent" is defined as a facility in continuous use for 13 or more weeks
and "temporary" is defined as a facility in continuous use for 12 weeks or
less.
(2) The Company will provide separate shower facilities for men and women
with hot and cold running water, which facilities shall be located in each

purposes. The use of fluorescent lighting is not acceptable for make-up
purposes.

comfortable temperature. All vents and ceiling fans shall be cleaned on a
regular basis. In the event of a breakdown of the main equipment, the

the Company shall make available safe and sanitary dressing facilities at the
performance location. Such facilities may be portable.
Heating and ventilation systems shall be cleaned on a regular basis. The
Company will also use such methods as are reasonably available to attempt

ventilated, and reasonably constructed. They shall include adequate make-
up tables with lighted make-up mirrors (which may be portable), adequate
chairs (which may be of the folding type) and water for drinking and make-
up purposes (which need not be “running”). Separate dressing facilities

34
apart from guest access areas, shall be provided for men and women, which

variety of adequate permanent rehearsal spaces on property. Said rehearsal
spaces shall be clean, safe and sanitary, well lit, equipped with mirrors and
rehearsal barres. Furthermore, the Company shall make every effort to ensure
the following standards are met at permanent rehearsal spaces on property:
(1) Dance Floors. In all permanent rehearsal spaces, flooring for dancing
shall be constructed to have elastic resilience at all points under the impact
of a foot. The construction of a solid layer of relatively incompressible
materials (including wood) in direct contact between the flooring and the
stage floor structure shall be avoided.
(2) Separate changing rooms shall be provided for male and female
performers with lockers, sinks and toilets in each facility, which shall be

will be provided with, among other things, the following devices:
(1) Lighting. All ramps, stairways, entrances and exits, cross-over areas, or
off-stage passageways, which may be affected by blackouts, shall be
illuminated with guide lights.
(2) Aisles. Aisles shall be maintained in a firm and even condition and, if not
constructed of a hard surface such as concrete, asphalt, or macadam, must
be covered and the coverings be secure.
(3) Platforms. Platforming must be securely fastened and the surface
completely covered by a deck of material such as wood or masonite. The
edges of all decks must be clearly outlined and visible or, if not, guard rails
shall be fastened in order to reduce the possibility of injury. A six inch high
kick-plate must be secured to all up-stage edges whenever a wall or hard
scenery does not delineate the up-stage edge of the platform or stage.
(This kick-plate may be used in place of up-stage guard rails.)
(4) Surfaces. All stage and platform surfaces must be dry, clean, and grit
free prior to the beginning of a performance. All climbing and ladder
surfaces must be dry and clean. All stage and platform surfaces shall be
free from protruding nails, screws, staples and the like, and shall be in a
smooth, even and undamaged condition. Outdoor stage, platform, and

35
tumbling surfaces shall be grit free and treated in such a way as to minimize
the effects of extreme weather conditions, including heat and moisture.
(a) Center Line. All stage, platform and rehearsal facilities must have a
center line on the floor, from the center front of the stage to the center
rear of the stage, which delineates the center of the stage.
(b) Spacing Line. On all staging and platforming that is used for dance,
in addition to the Center Line, a horizontal line must be placed on the
floor from stage left to stage right at the front edge or apron of the stage.
Said Spacing Line shall be marked off in visible one foot intervals
moving away from the Center Line. Every even numbered foot shall be
marked with the appropriate number of feet from the Center Line.
(5) Dance Floors. All flooring used for dancing shall be constructed to have
elastic resilience at all points under the impact of the foot. The construction
of a solid layer of relatively incompressible materials (including wood) in
direct contact between the flooring and the stage floor structure shall be
avoided.
(6) In those performance and rehearsal locations where no stage structure
or platforming exists, the Company, whenever possible, will provide or
construct of wood a smooth, level surface appropriately marked. Where
there is no wood platforming, or where such platforming is laid directly on
concrete or other incompressible material, the Company will then make all
necessary modifications to the choreography and/or shoes and will monitor
performance and rehearsal conditions with respect to the physical welfare
and safety of the performer.
(7) Tumbling Surfaces. All tumbling surfaces shall be provided with
appropriate tumbling mats which meet U.S.A.G. or N.C.A.A. standards and
which are dry and clean prior to the beginning of a performance or
rehearsal.

(H) A monitor system shall be installed between the stage area and the dressing
room, where practical, so that performers can follow the progress of the
performance.
(I) Smoking Area. In performance locations and rehearsal halls where smoking
is permitted, an area shall be designated by the Company as a smoking area
and smoking shall not be permitted outside said area. Such designated smoking
areas shall not be immediately adjacent to any entrance(s) to green rooms,
break rooms, dressing rooms, or stage areas. There shall be no smoking in
dressing rooms. For conventions/industrials/special events, smoking areas shall
be designated by the management of the venue location.
(J) Special Effects. Special effects such as, but not limited to, stage smoke, fog
effects, pyrotechnics, and lasers will be safely maintained and operated by
trained personnel. Adequate ventilation and exhaust equipment will be
operational when smoke or fog is used.

area or mix with the audience in bare feet on inappropriate, unclean or
hazardous surfaces.

to weapons, fire or pyrotechnic devices; the taking of dangerous leaps, falls,
throws, catches, knee drops, or slides; and the performance of stunts.
(B) Determination. The Company reserves the right to determine when a
performance risk exists and shall notify Equity and the performer through a rider
to the performer's contract that such a risk exists. Should Equity believe an act
to involve performance risks, it shall so state to the Company in writing. With
such notification, Equity may request an immediate meeting with the Company,
to occur within two days of the request. If the Company and Equity cannot
agree on the determination, Expeditious Arbitration shall be utilized to resolve
the dispute.
(C) A performer who agrees to perform performance risks must agree to do so in
a rider to his contract which fully describes the act.
(D) Subsequent to Contract Signing. No performer shall be required to perform
performance risks as a condition of employment where determination of such
risk has been made after the contract has been signed. If the performer agrees

37
to perform the risk, a rider to his contract must be executed and a copy filed with
Equity.
If the performer involved does not agree to perform the performance risks one of
the following shall apply:
(1) In the case of a Special Event, the performer shall be relieved from any
obligation to perform the risk, either by the action being modified to reduce
the risk, or by the performer being replaced in the Special Event with no
negative impact on his employment record.
(2) In the performer’s statused show, either the activity shall be modified to
reduce the risk, or the performer shall be transferred to another show, if
possible, or the performer’s contract may, by mutual consent, be terminated
with no less than two week’s notice plus payment by the Company of an
additional week’s salary as compensation for relocation expenses.

26. ¹STAGE FIGHTING OR STUNTS.


A stage fight shall be defined as any directed or choreographed proximate physical
action involving two or more people (including people from other bargaining units),
done in sequential order, that creates the illusion of either comic or dramatic
violence. This may include slapstick, use of props or weapons, set pieces or human
interaction. The actions in sequential order may be done to counts or may be
spontaneous.
The following regulations shall be followed whenever a production requires stage
fighting or stunts, with or without weapons:
(A) ¹The performer shall agree in a rider at the time of the contract signing to
participate in stage fighting or stunts. When a performer has already signed his
contract, he may still agree to participate in such activity provided a rider is
executed to that effect. All such riders shall describe the stage fight or stunt and
specify the amount of additional compensation, if any, which shall be paid for
participation in stage fighting or stunts. Equity shall receive a copy of all such
riders.
(B) If the production or cast has three or more performers who participate in
stage fights or stunts, a qualified* Fight or Stunt Captain shall be assigned to
each cast by the first rehearsal. Equity shall be notified within one week of the
assignment by rider to the Individual Employment Contract.
* A Fight or Stunt Captain shall be deemed qualified when he has, through
industry recognized training and experience, proven ability to perform and
supervise the maintenance of safe stage fighting or stunt-work.
(C) All performers who participate in stage fighting or stunts shall normally run
through the routine before the first performance of the day, or when a cast
change is made. The Fight or Stunt Captain shall lead such run throughs. Any
exception to this rule shall be discussed by the Fight or Stunt Captain and
Management.
(D) Stunt performers, stage fight performers, and understudies/replacements
shall be coached by the Fight or Stunt Captain. At least once prior to the
understudy’s/replacement’s performance in any role, the Fight or Stunt Captain
will rehearse those stunt performers affected by the understudy/replacement.

38
(E) All stunt rehearsals shall utilize U.S.A.G. approved or equivalent tumbling
mats and equipment. Where mats and/or equipment are used in performance,
such items shall be U.S.A.G. approved and determined to be appropriate for the
stunt by the stunt coordinator.
(F) Proper first-aid information shall be posted and equipment (including ice-
packs) shall be available at any rehearsal or performance site where stage
fighting or stunts occur.
(G) The Fight or Stunt Director or Coordinator and the Fight or Stunt Captain
shall consult with all other artistic personnel prior to the first rehearsal in order to
achieve the optimum degree of safety.
(H) If the actual set is unavailable, the Company shall make available duplicate
equipment: trampolines; teeter boards; mini tramps and skeleton scaffolding for
climbing or high leaps and falls. All appropriate mats (i.e., tumbling, landing and
crash mats) shall be readily accessible, (and in undamaged condition), for these
rehearsal and warm-up purposes.
(I) All equipment used in the performance of any stage fight or stunt shall be
checked for safety purposes prior to each performance.

27. ¹FILMING/VIDEOTAPING.
(A) The Walt Disney Company, or its authorized agent, may film, videotape or

sale.
Examples of publicity/direct promotion include:
(1) radio and television commercials.

cable, including premium channels such as The Disney Channel; and
syndicated) or internet type communication media which is available to the
public at no charge, without limitation. It is also understood that pay-per-view is
not considered publicity under this article.
(B) Film and Videotape for Use in Productions.
(1) A performer may be required to participate in a taping or filming for use
as an element in the production of the performer’s statused show. Such film
or tape may be used during the period in which the performer is employed
by the Company. When employment is terminated, use of such film or tape
may not exceed one year from the date of such termination.
(2) A performer may also be taped or filmed for use in a production which is
not the performer’s statused show. When taped or filmed under this
paragraph, he will be compensated for continued use of the tape or film at
the rate of $150.00 in addition to the appropriate hourly rate. Said payment
provides for unlimited use of said tape or film for a period not to exceed
three years from the date of taping or filming. If the Company wishes to use
said recording beyond this date, the Company shall negotiate with the
performer for said usage but the performer is not obligated to agree to such
additional usage.
(3) Taping or filming of a performer for use in a production other than the
performer’s statused show shall be voluntary. Prior to any filming or taping
session under (2), the performer shall be issued a rider which shall specify
that the filming or taping is under (2) above.
(C) General Provisions.
(1) When a performance is to be taped or filmed, performers will be notified
at least 24 hours in advance if any lighting or effects will be changed to
accommodate the filming or taping. Where a production contains
choreography or stunt work, and any additional lighting equipment will be
used for the filming or taping, the performers will be given the opportunity to
view the stage under the new lighting conditions prior to the performance.
(2) Stunt Pay. When a special filming or taping session is scheduled, the
stunt increment shall be paid for each hour of the filming or taping session in
which the stunt performers participate.
(D) Any Other Filming/Videotaping. No performer shall be required to do any
filming/videotaping not set forth in Section (A) or (B) above, unless said
filming/videotaping is paid pursuant to or the equivalent of, the then applicable
SAG/AFTRA contract rate.
(E) Notification.
(1) The Company will provide at least 24 hours advance notification to all
performers of filming, videotaping, or recording in their respective area, with
a copy to Equity. Such notification will be posted on the call board at each
affected performance location and shall include the following information:
date (and time, if known), location, cast involved, production company, and
client or name of production. The stage management and/or film or taping

40
crew should have proper identification visible to the performers. Where the
written notification has not been issued or is not at the location or in the
possession of the film or taping crew prior to the beginning of the
performance, then filming, videotaping or recording will be delayed until the
Company can verify the appropriateness of the filming, videotaping or
recording.
(2) ¹The Company will provide no less than two business days individual
notice to all performers involved in a filming, videotaping, or recording as
prescribed in (A)(1) and (A)(7).
(3) The Company will make reasonable effort to accommodate any
performer who does not wish to be filmed, taped or recorded for
commercials or co-commercials per rule 27(A)(1) and (A)(7).

28. ¹AUDIO TAPING AND VOICE-OVERS.


(A) Required Recording Sessions. A performer may be required to participate in
group vocal recording sessions solely for the purpose of making a back-up or
“sweetener” tape for the performer’s statused show. A Principal performer may
be required to record a lip-synch tape solely for the purpose of back-up for the
performer who has made the tape. Such recording sessions may be held during
regularly scheduled rehearsal hours and will be paid at the appropriate straight
time or overtime rate. Should the Company decide, after the fact, that it wishes
to use said tape as a lip-synch tape for another performer, the Company shall
negotiate with the performer for said usage but the performer is not obligated to
agree to such additional usage. If the performer agrees by means of a rider to
the additional usage, the negotiated fee shall be not less than the fee for
voluntary recording session in (B) below. No other usage shall be permitted.
When the performer’s employment is terminated, the use of said lip-synch tape
shall not exceed two years from the date of such termination.
(B) Voluntary Recording Sessions. Recording sessions for any and all other
purposes shall be voluntary and shall be paid at no less than the net overtime
rate of $150.00 ($100 x 1.5) per hour with a minimum two hour call. No other
overtime rules are applicable to this rate, e.g., double time on seventh
consecutive day worked. Should such recording session take place during the
regularly scheduled work day, the above recording rate will be paid in addition to
all straight time due.
Said payment provides for unlimited use of said recording, including retail, with
no subsequent payments.
(C) Prior to any recording session under either (A) or (B) above, the performer
shall be issued a rider which clearly states which rule governs the recording
session.
(D) The Company shall decide whether to record under Rule 28(A) or request
recording under Rule 28(B), or to record independently in developing lip synch
or sweetener tracks. The performer may be required to use any tape designated
by the Company.

photographic likeness, as aforesaid, the performer shall be paid a usage fee
of not less than $150 for each negotiated use.
(3) Compensation for a Photo Call. In addition to the usage fee, photo calls
for the purpose described above shall be compensated as follows:
(a) For a scheduled photo call of a performer in a regularly performed
role:
(1) If the photo call is within the performer’s scheduled shift and the
performer has performed all of their scheduled shows, they will be
compensated at the appropriate overtime for a minimum of one

(2) If the photo call is within the performer’s scheduled shift but is
replacing a scheduled show, the appropriate matrix time will be
applied.

34. LAWS GOVERNING.


All contracts of employment shall be subject to, be construed by, and all the rights of
the parties thereto shall be determined by the laws of the State of Florida, except as
otherwise provided herein.

If any provision of this Agreement should be held invalid or unlawful by any tribunal
of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby, but
shall remain severally valid, binding, and in full force and effect.

35. INTERPRETATION.
The parties hereto may interpret, alter, or amend the Agreement by mutual action in
writing, and no individual performer shall have cause to complain therefore, it being
understood that any interpretation or arrangement mutually satisfactory to the parties
hereto shall be binding upon all individual performers, whether such action be
prospective or retroactive.

36. MANAGEMENT RIGHTS.


Except as expressly and clearly limited by the terms of this Agreement, the
Company reserves and retains exclusively all of its normal and inherent rights with
respect to the management of the business, including, but not limited to, its right to
select and direct the number of performers assigned to any particular classification
of work; to sub-contract work; to establish and change work, schedules and
assignments; to lay off, terminate or otherwise release performers from duty for lack
of work or other just cause; to make and enforce rules for personal grooming and the
maintenance of discipline; to discontinue conduct of its business or operations in
whole or in part; to institute technological changes and otherwise to take such
measures as management may determine to be necessary to the orderly, efficient
and economical operation of business.

37. BULLETIN BOARDS.


The Company shall provide bulletin boards for the posting of information, auditions,
and official Equity and Company notices. The boards shall be of reasonable size
(but not less than two feet by three feet) and shall be accessible to all performers. It
is agreed that no Equity matter of any kind shall be posted in and about the
premises of the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT except on said Boards. It is
agreed by Equity and the Company that it is the responsibility of each performer to
be knowledgeable of notices posted.

38. WORK STOPPAGES AND LOCKOUTS.


(A) No Lock-outs or Strikes. During the existence of this Agreement, there shall
be no strikes, picketing, work stoppages or disruptive activity by Equity or by the
performer, and there shall be no lock-out by the Company.
(B) Failure to Cross Picket Line - Violation of Agreement. Failure of any
performer covered by the Agreement to cross any picket line established at the
WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT Complex is a violation of this Agreement,

53
unless the Company and Equity agree that entry or performance will result in
physical violence or injury to the performer.
(C) Union’s Responsibility to Prevent Work Stoppage, Strike or Disruptive
Activity. Equity shall not sanction, aid or abet, encourage or condone a work
stoppage, strike or disruptive activity at the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT
Complex and shall undertake all possible steps to prevent or to terminate any
strike, work stoppage, or disruptive activity. No performer shall engage in
activities that violate the Article. Any performer who participates in or
encourages any activities which interfere with the normal operation of Walt
Disney World shall be subject to disciplinary action, including discharge. Equity
shall not be liable for acts of performers for which it has no responsibility. The
failure of the Company to exercise this right in any instance shall not be deemed
a waiver of this right in any other instance, nor shall the Company’s right to
discipline all performers for any other cause be in any way affected by this
Section.
(D) Disputes with Concessionaires. Disputes between Equity and any
concessionaire operating in the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT shall be so
handled as not to interfere with the Company’s business or the business of any
concessionaire not a party to such disputes. No picketing or concerted action
against any one or more of the concessionaires will be conducted at the WALT
DISNEY WORLD RESORT. “Concessionaire” as used herein, includes a
concessionaire and also a licensee, exhibitor, participant, sponsor, contractor,
sub-contractor or lessee. In the event any other organization pickets at or near
the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT, Equity agrees that such picket line, so far
as they and the performers they represent are concerned, shall not affect the
operation of the Company or concessionaires who are not involved in the
dispute.

39. UNION ACTIVITY AND CHECK-OFF.


(A) Union Solicitation. Solicitation for union purposes by Equity shall not take
place on working time, in working areas, in public areas, nor in the tunnel
complex (except in break areas contained therein), but may be conducted in
non-working areas and on non-working time in parking areas, break areas and
lunch rooms.
(B) Access of Union Representatives to Premises. Representatives of Equity,
designated in writing to the Company by Equity, shall be permitted to enter the
non-public areas of the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT for the purpose of
determining that this agreement is being complied with by the Company and for
the presentation and handling of grievances. Said representatives shall also be
permitted to enter the public areas of the Company for the purpose of viewing
performances. Said representatives, who shall not number more than a total of
five at any one time, shall comply with the access regulations and security
regulations of the Company and shall not interrupt the performance of performer
work assignments.
(C) Deputies. Equity shall have the right to appoint Deputies in each cast as it
deems necessary. The Deputy shall serve as liaison between the cast and
Equity. The Deputy shall have the right to receive and report, but not to
promote, performer’s complaints or differences and to discuss and assist in the
adjustment of the same with the appropriate manager on Company property
54
without the loss of pay during regular working hours. (See Rule 40(D), NON-
DISCRIMINATION AND NON-RETALIATION.)
(D) Joint Committees. The Company agrees that up to ten performers, as
designated by Equity on a case by case basis, shall have the right to attend
meetings of a Joint Committee without loss of pay during regular working hours.
(E) Check-off. The Company agrees to withhold from the wages on each payroll
week uniform weekly membership dues, initiation fees and other assessments
for each performer who signs and submits an authorization form. The Company
shall forward such dues to the certified financial secretary or other properly
designated official of Equity on or before the third week following the last week in
the month in which dues are deducted. Equity agrees to indemnify and save the
Company harmless against any and all claims, suits, or other forms of liability
arising out of the deductions of money for union dues from performers’ pay.
Equity assumes full responsibility for the disposition of the moneys so deducted
once they have been turned over to the certified financial secretary or properly
designated official of Equity.

40. NON-DISCRIMINATION AND NON-RETALIATION.


(A) Non-Discrimination.
(1) The Company and Equity agree there shall be no discrimination against
any performer or prospective performer due to race, color, creed, sex, age,
national origin, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability, as
provided in federal and state legislation.
(2) The parties agree to support and to foster compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Thus, nothing in the Agreement
shall be construed as being inconsistent with or as requiring the parties to
behave in any manner inconsistent with federal or state law.
(B) Non-Retaliation. The Company and Equity agree there shall be no retaliation
against an individual who has made a good faith complaint about discrimination
or harassment due to race, color, creed, sex, age, national origin, religion,
marital status, sexual orientation or disability. Employees who believe they have
been harassed, discriminated against or retaliated against should promptly
report the facts of the incident and the name of the person involved to their
Human Resources, Employee Relations Department or Equity Business
Representative.
(C) The Company and Equity reaffirm their mutual commitment to a flexible and
imaginative process which casts performance roles without regard to race,
gender, age or physical ability when such considerations are not germane to the
role while recognizing and understanding the necessity of artistic and creative
discretion in the casting process.
(D) The Company and Equity agree that there shall be no discrimination against
any performer serving as Deputy or any performer due to Union activities or
affiliation.
(E) For purposes of this Agreement, references to performers in the masculine
gender shall be deemed to apply equally and without distinction or discrimination
to the female gender.

55
41. BLACKLISTING.
The Company and Equity agree to prevent blacklisting. Opposition to blacklisting is
not a controversial issue between the Company and Equity.

42. JOINT EQUITY/WALT DISNEY WORLD COMMITTEE.


The Company and Equity recognize the mutual benefit of joint meetings of
representatives of both parties. The Company and Equity hereby establish a joint
committee to study, explore and make recommendations in areas of mutual concern
that have been referred to the committee, by agreement of both parties. The parties
declare it to be their desire and intent that the determination and votes in all matters
by all members of the Committee shall be factual and open-minded in character
rather than being representative of the respective parties. The Company and Equity
further agree that the joint committee shall be required to meet within 30 days if
requested in writing by either party.
(A) Committee Structure.
(1) The Joint Committee shall consist of representatives from Equity and
representatives from the Company. Any committee may, at its discretion,
create working sub-committees as required on the specific issues under
study.
(2) Each party shall pay the expenses, if any, incurred by its committee
members.
(3) Permanent Committee members will include one Company
representative from Employee Relations and one Union representative from
Equity staff (Business Representative level or higher) who will serve as co-
Chairs of the Committee. Other Company or Union representatives may be
added on an ad hoc basis depending on the issue under discussion.
Meetings will be jointly chaired.
(B) Authority and Function. The committee’s authority shall be limited to
discussion, exploration and study of subjects either referred to it by the parties or
stipulated by this Agreement. No committee shall engage in collective
bargaining or in any way modify, add to or detract from the provisions of the
Agreement.
(C) The referral of an item to the Committee shall not extend any time limits
specified in Rule 43, GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE.

43. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE.


(A) Grievances Settled According to Procedure. The parties agree that any
grievance arising out of the interpretation or application of the terms of this
Agreement, with the exception of terminations and policy grievances which will
be expedited to Step 3, shall be settled promptly in accordance with the
following procedure.
(B) Definitions.
(1) Grievance. A grievance, within the meaning of this procedure, is defined
as a dispute or difference of opinion between the parties concerning the
meaning, interpretation, application or alleged violation by the Company or
Equity of this Agreement.
56
(2) Time Limits. The parties recognize that it is important that grievances
are processed and resolved as rapidly as possible. Therefore, the number of
days indicated at each step of the grievance procedure should be
considered as a maximum to expedite the process. The time limits specified
may be extended by mutual agreement as evidenced by a waiver in writing
signed by an authorized representative of the Company and Equity.
Otherwise, the grievance shall be regarded as withdrawn.
(C) Procedure.
(1) Step 1. Any performer, believing that he has suffered a grievance, shall
immediately notify the cast Deputy, who shall notify the Equity Business
Representative. The performer or the Equity Business Representative shall
discuss the alleged grievance and attempt to resolve the problem with the
performer’s immediate manager or the appropriate Company representative.
In order to be deemed timely, a grievance must be discussed within ten
business days after its occurrence or within ten business days after the
performer had a reasonable opportunity to become aware of the occurrence,
whichever is later. Failure to observe the aforementioned time limitations
shall be deemed as a waiver and the grievance will be regarded as
abandoned.
The immediate manager or appropriate Company representative shall give
an oral reply within seven business days after submission of the grievance.
If said manager or representative fails to give an oral reply within the time
limits provided, the grievance may be appealed to the next step of this
grievance procedure.
(2) Step 2. If the grievance shall not have been adjusted under Step 1, then
within seven business days after the reply given under Step 1, or after the
date by which a reply should have been given under Step 1, the Equity
Business Representative shall notify the performer’s Division Head of the
grievance. The Division Head or his designated representative and the
Equity Business Representative shall discuss the grievance within seven
business days after invocation of Step 2 in an attempt to settle the
grievance. It shall be incumbent upon the Business Representative to
schedule the discussion with the Division Head. The Division Head or his
designated representative shall provide the Equity Business Representative
with an oral reply within seven business days of the discussion. If the
Division Head fails to give an oral reply within the time limits provided, the
grievance may be appealed to the next Step of the grievance procedure.
(3) Step 3. If the grievance shall not have been adjusted under Step 2, then
within seven business days from the date of the Division Head’s oral
decision or the date when the decision should have been submitted by the
Division Head, the grievance shall be reduced to writing upon the accepted
Grievance Form which shall set forth the relevant information concerning the
grievance, including a short description of the alleged grievance, the date on
which the grievance occurred, an identification of the section of the
Agreement alleged to have been violated, and where possible, the
requested remedy and shall be presented to the Employee Relations office.
The Employee Relations representative and the Equity Business
Representative shall meet within seven business days in an attempt to
resolve the grievance. The Employee Relations representative shall provide
57
the Equity Business Representative with a written reply within seven
business days after the parties have met. If the Employee Relations
representative fails to give a written reply within the time limit provided, the
grievance may be appealed to the next Step of this grievance procedure.
(4) Step 4.
(a) If the grievance shall have been submitted but not adjusted under
Step 3, either party may, within ten business days after receipt of the
written reply, request in writing that the grievance be submitted to an
Arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Company and Equity.
(b) The parties agree to select a panel of arbitrators to hear outstanding
grievances. The panel will consist of Roger Abrams and up to three
other arbitrators to be agreed upon by the parties.
The arbitrators shall serve on a rotating basis. Permanent placement on
the rotation list will be based on the date each arbitrator accepts the
designation for the panel. An arbitrator will be passed in rotation and
the parties will proceed to select the next arbitrator on the list if:
(1) The arbitrator’s availability is delayed and the length of the delay
is unacceptable to Equity and the Company or;
(2) An arbitrator is unwilling to take the particular matter referred to
him or;
(3) An assigned case is settled at any time thereafter prior to the
arbitrator rendering a decision.
Except for disputes relating to Rule 12, TERMINATIONS, the
decisions of the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing within 30 days
following the conclusion of the hearing.
(D) Equity shall act on behalf of the Performer in any arbitration proceedings in
accordance with Equity’s Constitution and By-Laws, and no Performer is
authorized to commence any arbitration proceedings without the consent of
Equity.
(E) Expense and Location. The expenses of arbitration, including the
compensation of the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by Equity and the
Company. Both parties herein agree that all arbitrations shall take place in the
City of Orlando or at a place mutually agreeable to both parties.
(F) Nothing herein shall be construed to give the arbitrator the authority to alter,
amend, or modify any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(G) Only one grievance shall be before a specific Arbitrator at one time.
(H) Expeditious Arbitration. In any dispute relating to Rule 12, TERMINATIONS,
either the Company or Equity shall have the right to invoke the following
expeditious arbitration procedure:
(1) The dispute or grievance shall be asserted in a written notice sent by
registered mail or by telegram, return receipt requested, to the other party.
Simultaneously, a copy of such notice shall be sent, return receipt
requested, to the arbitrator at an address to be designated by the arbitrator
or panel.

58
(2) The dispute, complaint, or grievance shall be submitted to arbitration
within 72 hours after receipt of notice by the arbitrator and the award shall
be issued not later than 48 hours after their conclusion of the hearing. The
parties shall argue their cases orally at the conclusion of the hearing and no
written briefs shall be filed.
(3) The award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and may be issued with or
without opinion. If any party desires an opinion, said party may request
same, but such request shall not delay compliance with, or enforcement of,
the award.
(4) The failure of any party to attend the arbitration hearing as scheduled
shall not delay said arbitration, and the arbitrator is authorized to proceed to
take evidence and issue an award as though such party were present. The
decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties with no
further appeal, except for reasons of setting aside an Arbitrator’s award as
set forth in applicable Federal and Florida law.
The parties agree to the following list of permanent arbitrators for all
Expeditious Arbitrations relating to Terminations during the term of this
Agreement: Roger Abrams and up to three other arbitrators to be agreed
upon by the parties.

44. TERM OF AGREEMENT.


(A) Term. This Agreement and any further amendment or supplement hereto
shall be in full force and effect from September 26, 2004 through September 20,
2008 and from year to year thereafter, subject to the right of either party to
terminate the same at any anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement
following September 20, 2008 upon the giving of notice of termination not later

(B) Existing Contracts. Any individual contracts of employment existing on or
signed on or subsequent to September 26, 2004 shall be modified in accordance
with the new rules. Equity may advise its members that no member shall work
for Walt Disney World Co. unless an Agreement Governing Employment at the
WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT is in effect.
(C) Complete Agreement. The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations
which resulted in this Agreement, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to
make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed
by law from the area of collective bargaining, and that the understandings and
agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and
opportunity, are set forth in this Agreement. Therefore, the Company and
Equity, for the life of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waive the
right and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively
with respect to any subject or matter referred to or covered in this Agreement, or
with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to or covered in this
Agreement, even though such subjects or matters may not have been within the
knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time that they
negotiated or signed this Agreement.

59
(D) Side Letters. The side letters agreed to during 2004 contract negotiations
