AGREEMENT entered into this 16th day of September, 2012, 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 Regular Full-Time, Regular Part-Time, and Seasonal/Temporary 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, NON-RESIDENT ALIENS.), students working in the College Program, and third-party sub-contractor performers. Students in the College Program will not perform in regularly scheduled shows with Regular Full-Time performers in a classification as specified above, but may perform in separate productions as well as Special Events in combination with Regular Full-Time performers.

(B) Employment Status.

(1) Seasonal/Temporary performers shall be defined as those performers hired during seasonal expansion periods, for Special Events or Conventions or as substitutes. A Seasonal/Temporary may be contracted as a Regular Full-Time substitute for a performer(s) on leave of absence for up to 20 weeks.

(2) Regular Part-Time performers shall be defined as performers who are signed to an Individual Employment Contract guaranteeing at least one day of work per week. A Regular Part-Time may be contracted as a Regular Full-Time substitute for a performer(s) on leave of absence for up to 20 weeks.

(3) Regular 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

Page 6: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

2

14 weeks, excluding a maximum three week rehearsal period. The 14 week period begins with the first public performance.

(4) Any Regular Part-Time or Seasonal/Temporary performer who exceeds the above-referenced minimums shall be immediately signed to a Full-Time Individual Employment Contract and benefits shall be retroactive.

(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.

3. NON-RESIDENT 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.

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’S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS and DISNEY’S ANIMAL KINGDOM Theme Parks, DOWNTOWN DISNEY, DISNEY’S BOARDWALK, hotels, motels, golf facilities, campsites, airport facilities, boats and boat landings, entrances, or any other facilities, complexes or areas on said acreage.

(B) Additionally, this Agreement shall apply to any WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT performer assigned to make special appearances at locations within the geographical jurisdiction of Equity.

SECTION II. CONTRACTUAL

5. AUDITIONS AND INTERVIEWS.

(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 Amendments Act (ADAAA) 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. (Access to the lavatory must be separate from the room in which auditions are being held.) 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. When auditions take place on the Walt Disney World property, an ample supply of drinking water shall be provided at no charge to the performer.

(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.

Page 8: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

(9) Accompaniment. A piano and an accompanist, who can sight read, will be provided at auditions for productions in which performers sing and/or dance.

(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.

(1) Equity Auditions. 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) In-House Auditions. 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) Equity Audition Notice. The Company shall submit to the Orlando Equity office and to the Equity Auditions Department in New York City a notice of each audition required in Rule 5(B)(1) above, a minimum of 30 days prior to each audition. The Auditions Department will take responsibility for forwarding notices of auditions taking place outside of Equity’s Eastern Region to the appropriate Equity office for posting.

(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.

Page 9: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

5

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.

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. EXCLUSIVE 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) Individual 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) Performers 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. CONTRACTS.

(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.

Page 10: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

6

(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:

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

Page 11: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

7

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) Contracts Voided. A contract may, at the Company’s discretion, be voided prior to its start date if the Company has proof that the performer has falsified his application or employment forms or where the performer is convicted of or pleads guilty to any morals charge, felony or misdemeanor, other than minor traffic offenses or accepts a pre-trial diversion to any morals charge or felony. In such a circumstance, the Company will be responsible only for relocation expenses which cannot be avoided.

(I) 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.

(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 Operations/Resource Manager and the performer and, at the performer’s choosing, his representative and/or interpreter.

(4) For seasonal shows (e.g., Celebrate the Season) with Individual Employment Contracts of not more than 13 weeks’ duration, written notification of non-renewal shall not be required. This does not apply to ongoing shows (e.g., Beauty and the Beast, Dream Along with Mickey).

(J) 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

Page 12: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

8

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)).

(K) 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 Operations/Resource Manager or his designee.

(2) A performer who resigns, is laid off, or is not renewed may be assigned Seasonal/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.

(L) 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.

(M)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 Regular Full-Time performers the following relocation benefit, provided the performer relocates from outside a 100 mile radius from the Walt Disney World Resort:

(1) The cash equivalent of one-way non-restricted coach air transportation for the performer and immediate family (spouse and children under the age 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 Regular Full-Time performers the following relocation benefit, provided the performer relocates from a radius of more than 50 miles, but less than 100 miles from the Walt Disney World Resort:

Page 13: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

9

(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 the performer’s gross income.

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

Page 14: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

10

(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. PROBATIONARY 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. DISCIPLINE, 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,

(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.

Page 15: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

11

(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;

17. SICK 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 Regular Part-Time or Seasonal/Temporary status to Regular 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:

Page 24: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

20

Straight-time Hours Worked in Calendar Year

Earned Sick 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 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

Page 25: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

21

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.

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.

(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

Page 30: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

26

the Company reserves the right to schedule vacations when 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. PENSION AND WELFARE.

(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

Page 31: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

27

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 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. The Company shall make a contribution equal to 7.5% 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.

(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) Supplemental Workers’ Compensation. During the term of this Agreement, the Company will make contributions to the Equity-League Health Trust Fund for its Supplemental Workers’ Compensation plan (SWCP) on behalf of each performer who worked that week, as follows:

$5.00/week/performer who works

Such payments will be made on a monthly basis before the 15th of the calendar month following the month in which the performers worked. The Company and the Fund shall agree upon the appropriate information and form to submit with the contributions.

(C) Group 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

Page 32: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

28

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 Regular 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.

(D) 401(k) Plan Contributions. The Company will make available payroll deduction for voluntary participation in the Equity-League 401(k) plan.

21. LEAVES 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 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 his 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.

Page 33: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

29

(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 time on an occupational or non-occupational medical leave of absence that exceeds 12 consecutive months will have their employment with the Company terminated.

No Regular Full-Time performer shall be granted medical leaves of absence that total more than 15 months in any 24 month 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 Regular 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) Jury 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) Funeral 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

Page 34: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

30

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.

(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.

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 weeks’ notice plus payment by the Company of an additional week’s salary as compensation for relocation expenses.

26. STAGE FIGHTING OR STUNTS.

(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/Stunt Captain shall lead such run throughs. Any exception to this rule shall be discussed by the Fight/Stunt Captain and Management.

(D) Stunt performers, stage fight performers, and understudies/replacements shall be coached by the Fight/Stunt Captain. At least once prior to the understudy’s/replacement’s performance in any role, the Fight/Stunt Captain will rehearse those stunt performers affected by the understudy/replacement.

(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.

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

Page 46: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

42

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.

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 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.

28. AUDIO TAPING AND VOICE-OVERS.

(A) Required Recording Sessions.

(1) 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.

(2) A performer scheduled to perform at a Convention/Special Event may be required to participate in a voice-over recording session as an element of that event without additional compensation. The recording session will take place during the performer’s Convention/Special Event. If the Convention/Special Event spans more than one day (e.g. “Star Wars Weekends,” “Super Soap Weekend”), the performer whose vocal recording is to be used must be present for each day of the event for which the recording is used. Should the Company decide, after the fact, that it wishes to use said recording for subsequent Conventions/Special Events, 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.

(B) Voluntary Recording Sessions. Recording sessions for any and all other purposes shall be voluntary and shall be paid at no less than $165.00 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 with no subsequent payments. In the event that said recording is used for retail, the performer will be paid a one time only fee equal to the original amount paid for the recording.

(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

Page 48: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

44

“sweetener” tracks. The performer may be required to use any tape designated by the Company.

(E) Excluding third party recording sessions, recording sessions scheduled under (B) above that are cancelled with less than 24-hours notice shall be paid at the rate of $165.00 per hour for a minimum two hour call up to one-half of the booked session, which payment shall not exceed four hours maximum.

(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 his scheduled shows, he will be compensated at the appropriate overtime for a minimum of one hour.

(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.

(3) If the photo call is contiguous to a performer’s scheduled shift, the performer will be paid at the appropriate overtime for a minimum of one hour.

The parties agree that said compensation formula shall have no applicability to the allocation of rehearsal time for these purposes.

(6) The Company will provide as much notice as possible to performers scheduled for Convention/Industrial work following their scheduled work days or on scheduled days off.

(7) During the rehearsal process for Conventions/Industrials that involve large and/or heavy props, it is agreed that the Entertainment Manager and Lead or appropriate Captain (i.e., Dance, Vocal and/or Fight/Stunt), will meet at the beginning and end of each rehearsal to ensure there is appropriate communication and monitoring of the rehearsal process.

(J) Equity Business. One-half hour non-work time, exclusive of rehearsal call, shall be set aside during the first week of rehearsal (or at any other mutually agreed time) to allow the cast to conduct Equity business, including the election of an Equity Deputy.

(B) Performers within the Actors’ Equity Association Bargaining Unit shall be given first opportunity to substitute for regular performers. In emergency situations, Management/Leads at the stage will contact available Equity Unit substitutes.

It is further understood that payment in such instances shall be pursuant to Rule 16(E)(6) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

(C) Subsequent to the rehearsal period, the non-Equity Bargaining Unit substitute will be entitled to one public performance day per rehearsed role. During rehearsals and the public performance, the non-Bargaining Unit substitute will be paid the Equity minimum rate for the appropriate classification/role, or his own rate, whichever is greater. The Equity performer shall be excused from reporting for work during the non-Equity Bargaining Unit substitute’s public performance day. There shall be no loss of pay, including stunt increment, to the Equity performer, and the substitute’s performance shall count toward the Equity performer’s matrix maximum.

32. TRAVEL.

This rule shall apply to the following: in-state events of seven days or less, including all work and travel; and out-of-state events of seven days or less and two cities or less, including all work and travel. Tours lasting more than seven days shall use the rules of the touring addendum.

(C) Travel time which occurs within the normally scheduled work day will be considered as time worked and paid at the appropriate rate. Travel time which occurs outside the normally scheduled work day will not be considered as time worked and, consequently, not paid. Travel time which occurs on a performer’s day off or holiday will be compensated for those hours which correspond to the normally scheduled work day.

(D) The combined performance, rehearsal, and any other work time (excluding travel time) shall be based upon 50% of the total hours paid. The half-hour call to prepare for performance shall count as work time. Any minutes worked in excess of 50% of hours paid will be paid at the appropriate overtime rate, in one-half hour increments.

The Company shall at its own expense transport the performer when the performer is required to travel from Walt Disney World Property to the engagement.

(2) Long Distance. Travel which exceeds the 100 mile radius shall be in a vehicle which is equipped with heat, air conditioning, and seating accommodations for each performer. There shall be no smoking in the vehicle. Travel time shall not exceed 11 hours in one day.

(3) Travel Breaks. There shall be a minimum of one ten-minute comfort stop within each two hour travel period unless the vehicle has on-board lavatory facilities. There shall be a meal stop of at least one hour as near as reasonably practicable to the mid-point of the travel period. In the event of a travel period delay due to unforeseeable circumstances, there shall be an additional meal stop of at least one hour after no more than six and one-half hours have elapsed from the end of the previous meal break.

(4) Where applicable, the vehicle, upon arriving at its destination, will first deliver the performers to their accommodations. In every case where the performance site is situated more than 1/4 mile from the hotel or in inclement weather, or if travel to and/or from the performance will occur after 9 PM, the vehicle will transport the performers to the performance site and return them to the hotel after the performance. The vehicle shall leave the performance site when all performers are ready to be transported to the hotel.

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.

Page 66: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

62

that the Joint Committee shall be required to meet within 30 days if requested in writing by either party.

(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.

(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.

Page 67: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

63

(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 Labor Relations office. The Labor Relations representative and the Equity Business Representative shall meet within seven business days in an attempt to resolve the grievance. The Labor Relations representative shall provide the Equity Business Representative with a written reply within seven business days after the parties have met. If the Labor Relations

Page 68: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

64

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, James L. Reynolds, Thomas Humphries, and Richard I. Bloch.

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.

Page 69: Walt Disneyworld RuleBook 12-17

65

(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.

(18) Four performances and one parade may be worked when the parade is scheduled as first or last performance of Scheduled Day. (PARADE SHOW VALUE = 1.6). Three

performances and one parade may be worked when the parade is scheduled within middle of the Scheduled Day or during extended summer hours. (PARADE SHOW VALUE = 3.2).
