I. PRE-PRODUCTION
1. RECOGNITION AND COVERAGE
A. Principal Performers
The Union is recognized by Producer as the exclusive bargaining agent for all principal performers
(including actors, narrators, announcers, singers, specialty dancers, specialty acts, puppeteers, stunt
performers, and pilots) as described in Section 6, Persons Covered, employed by Producer for commercials,
as the term ³FRPPHUFLDOV´LVGHILQHGLQ6HFWLRQZLWKLQWKHVFRSHRIWKLV&RQWUDFWDVSURYLGHGLQVXEVHFWLRQ
A of Section 5, Scope of Contract.
Compensation to principal performers in commercials is based both on the services which the principal
performer renders in the production of such commercials and on the use which is made of the finished
commercial in which the principal performer has rendered services. This dual basis of compensation springs
from the unique nature of the services rendered by principal performers in commercials. The Union
contended that a principal performer rendering services in a commercial performs, to a great extent, the
duties of a demonstrator or salesperson of a particular product or service and as such, tends to be identified
with that particular product or service.
The Union also contended that this identification increases proportionately with the continued utilization of
a commercial. The Union further contended that advertisers and their agencies seldom approve the
employment of a principal performer who has become identified with another product or service, especially
if the product or service is competitive. These conditions and practices tend to reduce opportunities for
further employment in this field.
The Producer, realizing the singular nature of this kind of service and that the reuse of a commercial may
limit or curtail further employment opportunities for the principal performers appearing in the commercial,
has agreed to this unique method of compensation.
B. Extra Performers
The Union is also recognized by the Producers, and each of them, as the exclusive bargaining agent for all
extra performers employed by the Producer LQWKHSURGXFWLRQRIFRPPHUFLDOVDVWKHWHUP³FRPPHUFLDOV´LV
defined in Section 4, in the zones as defined in Section 1 of Schedule D hereof.
C. Employment by a Producer

performer must be employed by a bona fide producer of commercials covered by the Contract. The Union
reserves the right to reject or revoke the signatory status of any company if that company is not a bona fide
producer of commercials.
D. Equal Treatment
The Union agrees that if, during the term of this Contract, a Producer not currently signatory to this Contract
shall become a member of the JPC and authorizes the JPC to represent it for purposes of collective

2. Upon reasonable notice, the Union or Producer may request that the Standing Committee be convened
to discuss any matter relating to the policy of nondiscrimination, the production of information provided
for herein or the results of such production of information and the confidentiality provisions of
paragraph 1 of this subsection I. If the Union requests such a meeting of the Standing Committee with
respect to a particular advertiser or advertising agency, the Union shall specify in advance of the meeting
the advertiser or advertising agency involved and the information with respect to such advertiser or
advertising agency that it proposes to discuss. The Industry representatives on the Standing Committee
shall then invite such advertiser or advertising agency to attend such meeting. Such advertiser or
advertising agency may either attend such meeting or respond in any other manner it deems appropriate.
Except as provided hereafter, information generated by the Standing Committee and any action or
agreements resulting from the submission to the Standing Committee shall be subject to the
confidentiality provisions of this subsection I.
3. (a) If, within 90 days after presentation to the Standing Committee under Section 14.F, any complaint
regarding nondiscrimination and affirmative action remains unresolved, the Union, represented by
its National Executive Director or Associate National Executive Director, may request a meeting
with an individual Producer on at least 10 days written notice to Producer and simultaneously to a
representative of the JPC. Such notice shall state with particularity the nature of the complaint
involved and any information, including statistical information, that the Union possesses
supporting such complaint. At the same time, the Union may request Producer to provide the Union
UHDVRQDEOHLQIRUPDWLRQUHOHYDQWWRWKH8QLRQ¶VFRPSODLQW
(b) If Producer is represented by the JPC, a representative of such Committee shall attend such
meeting. Producer shall participate in such meeting and shall include persons with appropriate
executive authority with respect to issues involving nondiscrimination and affirmative action.
Within 30 days after the conclusion of such meeting, the Union and Producer shall either jointly or
separately report in writing to each other, with a copy to the representative of the JPC, their
conclusion(s) with respect to the meeting, including any specific plan and programs that Producer
and/or Union may believe to be necessary to comply with this Section of the Contract.
(c) If the Union maintains that Producer has failed to make good faith efforts to address the issues
involved in the complaint within 6 months after such meeting (or within such other time period as
may be agreed upon at the meeting specified in paragraph 2 above), the Union shall again meet on
10 days¶ notice with Producer and a representative of the JPC. Thereafter, if the Union is able to
demonstrate that Producer has not made good faith efforts in this regard, and the Union has
determined in good faith that it would be appropriate to publicly release statistics and data in
possession of the Union relating to the employment practices of Producer, the Union shall disclose
in writing to Producer and a representative of the JPC, the precise statistics and data it intends to
publicly release. If within 14 days after such disclosure, the matter cannot be resolved, the Union
may publicly release only the statistics and data referred to in the preceding sentence, and shall,
simultaneously with the public release, provide Producer and a representative of the JPC a copy of
such release and state the extent of distribution of such release. There shall be no public disclosure
of any such statistics or data without compliance with the foregoing steps of this subsection I.
(d) For Producers not represented by the JPC, the above procedure shall apply, except that a
representative of the JPC shall not be involved, unless it elects to be involved, and Producer so
agrees.
4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Union may disclose, publicize or otherwise use industry-wide
statistics as distinguished from statistics relating to any individual producer.
NOTE: With respect to implementation of this Policy of Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action, see also Schedule
A.I, Sections HH & KK, and for extra performers, Schedule D, Section 17, subsections U and V.

16. EXCLUSIVITY
A. The exclusivity to which scale principal performers may agree shall be limited to an agreement not to accept
employment in commercials advertising any competitive product or service. Principal performer may agree
not to accept employment in commercials advertising noncompetitive products or services for payment of
not less than the following rates of compensation:
1. One to three noncompetitive products or services 150% of minimum compensation
for session and use.
2. Four or more noncompetitive products or 200% of minimum compensation
services but not complete exclusivity for session and use.
Only a principal performer who has entered into a term contract to perform services on a continuing basis
for a guaranteed amount may agree to grant complete exclusivity. The contract or memorandum thereof
shall be submitted to the Union for its consent to the granting of complete exclusivity, the granting of which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
B. A product or service shall not be deemed competitive with another product or service solely because both
are made or offered by the same advertiser, nor shall a product or service be deemed competitive with
another product or service merely because it is manufactured or offered by another advertiser competitive
in some other product or service area.
C. Exclusivity may not be required of principal performers engaged to portray nonidentifiable voices (disguised
voices, dialects, cartoon voices, etc.) or for lip sync.
D. No exclusivity agreement may be made which extends beyond the maximum period of use provided in
Section 30, Maximum Period of Use of Commercials, subject to the provisions for renewals thereof.
E. Principal performers shall not be required to grant warranties or exclusivity of any kind with respect to any
work performed or to be performed in other commercials as an extra performer, nor may any principal
performer be required to grant any warranties with respect to any commercial, except within the area of
exclusivity permitted by subsection A hereof.
F. No exclusivity rights may be acquired by Producer with respect to off-camera solo or duo singers or group
SHUIRUPHUVRWKHUWKDQ³QDPH´SHUIRUPers or groups, unless otherwise bargained for.
G. No exclusivity rights may be acquired by Producer with respect to principal performers who perform in
Seasonal Commercials.
H. No exclusivity rights may be acquired by Producer with respect to nonidentifiable pilots.
I. Producer and principal performer agree that exclusivity is one of the fundamental aspects of this Contract
and is one of the foundations for use fees. Therefore, any breach of exclusivity by a principal performer
must be considered a serious breach of his/her agreement with Producer and may lead to substantial damages
being assessed against principal performer. An arbitrator may consider, among other possible remedies, loss
of holding fees and residuals that would otherwise be due to the performer for the balance of the maximum

period of use. The Union agrees that it shall be a policy of the Union to make members aware of their
professional responsibility to live up to exclusivity agreements and to encourage adherence thereto.
17. RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF COMMERCIALS; ADDITIONAL SERVICES
A. The rights granted to Producer in commercials shall be limited to the right to use, distribute, reproduce,
and/or exhibit such commercials over television, and/or Internet, and/or New Media. Producer shall have
the right to use the name and likeness of the principal performer and his/her acts, poses and appearances in
such commercials for the purpose of publicizing the business of Producer in trade publications (including
digital trade publications), award shows, case studies and in reels (provided such reels are not rented, sold,
or utilized as give-aways) and for historical/archival use.
B. Producer agrees that no part of the photography or sound track of a principal performer made for a
commercial shall be used other than in commercials as provided hereunder without separately bargaining
with the principal performer and reaching an agreement regarding such use. The foregoing requirement of
separate bargaining applies to use in other commercials after the maximum period of use has expired
pursuant to Section 30, Maximum Period of Use of Commercials, use in theatrical or television motion
pictures or use in any other field or medium. Such separate bargaining shall take place prior to the time of
such proposed use but the principal performer may not agree to such use at the time of original employment
except as follows:
1. Bargaining for WKHULJKWWRXVHWKHSULQFLSDOSHUIRUPHU¶VVRXQGWUDFNLQUDGLRPD\WDNHSODFHDWWKHWLPH
of employment, provided that additional payment is made for such use at the time of such employment.
2. Bargaining for the right to use the principDOSHUIRUPHU¶VSKRWRJUDSK\RUVRXQGWUDFNLQDQ\RWKHUILHOG
or medium may take place at the time of employment, provided the specific nature and extent of such
use is specified and proper payment is made at such time.
All such bargaining shall be subject to the minimum wages and use fees, if any, provided for in the collective
bargaining agreement, if any, applicable to the field in which the photography or sound track is used. If
Producer is unable to find the principal performer within a reasonable time, it shall notify the Union and, if
the Union is unable to find the principal performer within a reasonable time, Producer may reuse the
photography or sound track without penalty.
If Producer fails to separately bargain with the principal performer as provided above or, if Producer and
the principal performer bargain but are unable to reach an agreement, Producer shall be prohibited from
making such use of the material. In case of violation of the foregoing, the principal performer shall be
entitled to damages for such unauthorized use equivalent to 3 times the amount originally paid to the
principal performer for the number of days of work covered by the material used. In addition, minimum use
fees, if any, applicable to the field in which the material is used, shall be paid. However, the principal
performer may, in lieu of accepting such damages, elect to arbitrate his/her claim or bring an individual legal
action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin such use and recover such damages as the court may fix
in such action.
The provisions of this subsection B shall not be applicable to unidentifiable off-camera group performers.
With respect to on-camera principal performers, the provisions of this subsection B shall apply only if the
principal performer is recognizable and, with respect to stunt performers, only if the stunt is identifiable.

simulcast. Such additional compensation shall be no less than the rates provided for in the applicable
collective bargaining agreement for radio.
D. No service of the principal performer is contracted for except as specified in this Contract. This subsection
is not intended to prevent a principal performer from contracting for services of a kind not covered by this
Contract by individual contract at such rates of pay and under such conditions as Producer and the principal
performer shall agree, subject only to the requirement that it shall not be in conflict with this collective
bargaining agreement. Producer shall not require a principal performer to include such services as a part of
his/her employment under this Contract but must bargain separately for such services, including translations,
if requested by Producer and agreed to by the principal performer.

18. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS/GOVERNMENT AGENCY MESSAGES
The Union, cognizant of the importance of public service announcements and government agency messages to the
welfare of our Country, will follow a liberal policy in granting waivers of additional compensation for the use of
messages produced and used under the auspices and/or on behalf of the various Federal, State and local governmental
agencies, non-profit public service organizations, charities, and museums. The Federal, State or local governmental
agencies, non-profit public service organizations, charities, or museums that are the subject of the public service
announcement or government agency message shall be permitted to display advertiser logos/IDs on their website
LQFOXGLQJRQWKHODQGLQJSDJH3URGXFHUVKDOOREWDLQWKHSULQFLSDOSHUIRUPHUV¶FRQVHQWWRWKHSUHVence of advertiser
logos/IDs on the landing page at the time of engagement. Producer may include such agreement in the Special
Provisions section of the applicable employment contract.
The foregoing statement of policy does not apply to the minimum fees due principal performers under Section 20,
Minimum Compensation; provided, however, that Producer may, with consent of the Union, request a waiver of
session fees from celebrities.
The Union waives the application of this Contract to persons regularly employed by and volunteers regularly serving
a sponsoring organization, as well as members and beneficiaries of such organization. As used herein, the term

whose benefit the organization is authorized to receive and disburse funds and/or benefits in accordance with such
RUJDQL]DWLRQ¶VVWDWHGSXUSRVHV
In seeking a waiver under this Section, Producer shall obtain the consent of the Union before seeking the consent of
the principal performer. Provided that a principal performer consents in writing to the waiver of additional
compensation beyond the minimum fees due under Section 20, Minimum Compensation, the Union will grant the
right to unlimited use, including all media covered by this Contract, of the message for one year beginning not later
than 15 working days after the first delivery of the public service announcement to television stations or 13 weeks
after commencement of the maximum use period, whichever first occurs. All media time must be donated. Should
the public service announcement or government agency message be utilized on purchased time, the waiver of
additional compensation for the use of such messages will be revoked and full use and reuse fees must be paid to the
performer(s) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Contract beginning with the first use on purchased
media time, subject to Section 30, Maximum Period of Use of Commercials.
Provided a waiver for an initial one year period has been obtained pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, and provided

A. Test Market Commercials
Test Market commercials are commercials which are to be used to test the product in a market. Such
commercials shall be subject to all the provisions of this Contract. If such use is intended, the principal
performer shall be so notified at the time of audition or interview or, if there be none, at the time of hiring.
Principal performer shall receive a contract prior to performance consenting to such use. In the event of
failure to conform to the foregoing requirement, Producer shall have no right to exhibit said commercial as
a Test Market commercial.
B. Non-Air Commercials
1. Non-air commercials are commercials not intended for television, Internet, and/or New Media, such as
nonbroadcast audience reaction commercials, copy testing, or client demos. Such commercials shall be
so designated at the time of audition or interview or, if there be none, at the time of hiring, and such
commercials may be used only for such purposes and not for utilization in any media.

21. DOUBLING ² DUBBING
A. Doubling
1. When a principal performer doubles, in or out of category, he/she shall be paid not less than the
applicable session fee plus use fees for each additional voice or part, except when a principal performer

words in connection with the jingle itself, the singer shall be paid the highest applicable fee for such
performance. The Union, upon request, shall be furnished copies of all continuity containing this type
of performance to determine whether or not the full additional applicable fee should be paid to the
singer. Participation in group noises shall not be considered a double and is permissible without
additional compensation.

provide a certification for the benefit of the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG-Producers Pension
Plan that the singers listed as having rendered services on the track did, in fact, perform services and
that such services are included in the final track furnished to Producer. Producer shall also require the
music supplier to acknowledge that the inclusion on a final singer list of the name of any person who

24. UNION STANDARDS
A. Principal Performers
1. Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, a Producer will not either engage in the production of a
commercial or any part thereof (including film footage or sound track) as to which one or more principal
performers is employed by a person not signatory to this Contract or a Letter of Adherence hereto (a
³QRQVLJQDWRU\´RUDFTXLUHDFRPPHUFLDORUDQ\VXFKSDUWWKHUHRIDVWRZKLFKRQHRUPRUHSULQFLSDO
performers was employed by a nonsignatory, unless, in each case, Producer determines, after reasonable
investigation, that such principal performers have been and will be either (1) afforded the wages, hours,
20
INDEX
working conditions, and other economic benefits provided in this Contract or (2) afforded wages, hours,
working conditions, and other economic benefits having a substantially equivalent economic cost to
such nonsignatory. In the event the commercial is a non-air commercial, Producer shall, upon written
request from the Union, report to the Union the name of such nonsignatory, the number of commercials,
copy tests and client demos to be recorded and other pertinent data to enable the Union to administer
this Contract.
2. If Producer obtains an agreement substantially in the form below from such nonsignatory, Producer
shall be deemed to have observed the provisions of subsection A of this Section 24.
³,W is hereby agreed by _______________________________________________________________
(name of nonsignatory employer)
that all principal performers as defined in the SAG-AFTRA 2016 Commercials Contract shall be
afforded either (1) the wages, hours, working conditions, and other economic benefits provided in said
Contract, or (2) wages, hours, working conditions, and other economic benefits having a substantially
equivalent economic cost to __________________________________________________________´
(name of nonsignatory employer)
3. In addition to any other remedies at law or under this Contract, the Union reserves the right to terminate
the Letter of Adherence of any Producer who fails to observe the provisions of subsection A of this
Section 24, unless such failure is isolated or inadvertent.
4. The parties to this Contract acknowledge and agree that the purpose and intent of this Section 24 is to
ensure that no Producer will be economically motivated to have a commercial or any such part thereof
produced by, or to acquire a commercial or any such part thereof from, a nonsignatory which incurs
economic costs with respect to the employment of principal performers on such commercial or part
thereof which are not substantially equivalent to the economic costs which would have been incurred
by the Producer had it employed such principal performers. This Section 24 shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with such purpose and intent.
B. Extra Performers
The provisions of subsection A shall apply with respect to extra performers engaged in accordance with the
terms of Schedule D.
25. INTEGRATING OF COMMERCIALS INTO DIFFERENT COMMERCIALS
A. Principal Performers
Subject to the provisions of the immediately following paragraph of this Section 25 and the provisions of
Section 26, Editing of Commercials, whenever photography or sound track made for a commercial is
integrated into another commercial, any principal performer involved in that portion of the original
commercial integrated shall be entitled to receive applicable use payments for the use of such resulting
commercial if his/her face appears in the resulting commercial as exhibited, as well as for the original
commercial if used. Such commercials shall also be subject to the holding fee provisions of Section 31,
Holding Fee ² Fixed Cycle.
If, however, the portion of the original commercial integrated into the new commercial contains the on-
camera performance of a principal performer hired for the original commercial, but that performance can be
downgraded in accordance with Section 27, then that performer shall be entitled to receive an amount equal
to 2 session fees. Thereafter no payment is due such performer for any subsequent use of that footage.
Where the same off-camera commercial message is used with a number of different on-camera animations,
each different animation shall constitute a different commercial.
B. Extra Performers
(See Schedule D, Section 9.)

INDEX
26. EDITING OF COMMERCIALS
The following alterations only may be made in a commercial without changing it into a new or additional commercial,
provided the principal performer shall be paid the applicable use payments as long as such commercial is used:
A. Shorter/Longer Versions
Producer may edit a commercial to make up to 2 additional shorter and/or longer versions of the same
commercial, neither of which may be the same length as the original commercial. For clarification, the 2
versions created under this subsection A may be the same length as each other. For example, Producer may
create 2 thirty second versions of an original sixty second commercial. Producer shall pay a session fee to
each principal performer appearing in the second additional version. Producer may record a sound track to
fit such additional version(s), provided that the sound track for such version(s) must be the same except for
such changes as are required for timing and synchronization. Principal performers shall be paid an additional
session fee for recording such additional sound track, which fee may not be credited against use fees.
The provisions of this subsection A permit mechanical editing of on-camera material only. In the event a
principal performer is required to perform on-camera in shorter or longer versions of the original
commercial, such versions shall be deemed to be additional commercials which shall require payment of an
additional session fee and applicable use fees for each such additional commercial for each such principal
performer. Other principal performers appearing in such additional commercials shall be paid applicable use
fees for each such additional commercial.
If different versions of a commercial are photographed or are recorded off-camera, they shall not be deemed
edited versions and shall in all cases be deemed separate commercials. The only exception to the foregoing
shall be the sound track made to fit the timing and synchronization of a single mechanically edited
commercial.
B. Dealer Identification
Separate and different dealer identification for the same product or service may be included in the beginning
and/or end and/or in the body of a commercial for the same advertiser. For example, a commercial
advertising a specific perfume may be changed to designate the different dealers in different localities where
such perfume may be purchased.
C. Introduction and Ending Changes; Package Changes
The introduction and/or ending of a commercial made for a designated advertiser may be changed, without
changing the body (either the on-camera or the off-camera portion) as long as the products advertised are of
the same type and class and are advertised under the same brand name. Without in any way changing the
meaning of this subsection C, the following interpretations are agreed upon for illustrative purposes only:
1. 7KHWHUP³HQGLQJ´PHDQV³WDJ´DVWKDWWHUPLVFXstomarily used in the Industry, i.e., a short appendage
WRWKHERG\RIDFRPPHUFLDO7KHWHUP³LQWURGXFWLRQ´VKDOOPHDQWKHHTXLYDOHQWRID³WDJ´LQWKHRSHQLQJ
of a commercial.
2. 8QGHU³VDPHW\SHDQGFODVV´RISURGXFWVWRRWKSDVWHDQGtoothpowder would be considered as belonging

3. 8QGHU³VDPHEUDQGQDPH´GLIIHUHQWSDFNDJLQJRIWKHVDPHSURGXFWZRXOGEHFRQVLGHUHGDVSURSHU
4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 26, changes may be made in the introduction, body
or ending of a commercial made for a designated advertiser only to reflect a different package of the
same product sold under the same brand name, but different versions so created may not be used in the
same market area. Separate session fees shall be payable to on- and off-camera principal performers
employed to render services in making such package changes; but for the purpose of use fees such
commercial, including the package change, shall be considered as one commercial. It is the intention of
this paragraph to permit changes to reflect the change in packaging only and not to permit any other
change in the commercial message.
22
INDEX
D. Legal Changes
The on-and off-camera message(s) of a commercial made for a designated advertiser may be changed to
comply with legal requirements.
E. Payment for Dealer Identifications, Tags and Legal Changes
When a principal performer is called for the sole purpose of making dealer identifications or tags under
subsections B or C hereof, or changes under subsection D hereof, he/she shall be paid a session fee, and the
following rates for each dealer identification, tag or change made beyond one:

Use fees shall, however, be payable on the basis of one commercial. If during a single session, an on or off-
camera principal performer renders services in a basic commercial whose format is designed to
accommodate dealer identification or tags, as well as in one or more dealer identifications or tags as
permitted under Section 26, subsections B. or C., payment of the session fee shall cover payment for the
basic commercial and also for one such dealer identification or tag. The tag rate shall be payable for each
additional dealer identification or tag produced at the same session.
F. Off-Camera Message
The off-camera message of a commercial made for a designated advertiser may be changed and the
commercial as so revised may be substituted for the original commercial during a particular cycle provided
the original commercial is withdrawn from further use during such cycle.
G. Rearrangement of On-Camera Material
The on-camera portion of a commercial made for a designated advertiser may be re-edited or rearranged as
long as no substantial change is made in the material, provided that the commercial in its original form is
thereupon withdrawn. This provision shall not be construed so as to permit the introduction of any new
material into the commercial provided, however, that a different package shot or a different product shot of
the same product shall not be considered new material. In the event new material is used, the commercial
created shall be deemed a new commercial.
H. Recalls/Retakes
Prior to first televising of commercials made for a particular advertiser, principal performer may be recalled
for one session fee to make reasonable changes and corrections in existing sound track or to make changes
or corrections in photography in the nature of retakes. Subsequent calls for such purpose will require separate
applicable payment for each commercial in connection with which such services are rendered. In no event
may any fees payable under these provisions be credited against any other compensation due principal
performer.
I. Factual Information
Commercials advertising products and/or services that require different and specific factual information with
respect to destinations, local points and times of departure, frequency of service, telephone numbers; URLs/
QR codes or similar Internet, mobile and digital media identifiers; rates; pricing; geographic availability and
dates (but only when a date is with reference to any of the items of factual information permitted above),
may be changed to reflect this information without such changed commercials being deemed new
commercials for use purposes. Such changes may be effected by inserting new on-camera and/or off-camera

commercial; provided, however, that the commercial shall in all other respects remain the same.
For changes involving the factual changes described in this subsection I., performers making such changes
shall be paid separately the applicable on or off-camera rates as provided in Section 26.E.

J. Product/Service Name Changes ² Same Advertiser
1. Same product/service ² Company name/trade name remains constant
Variations of a commercial advertising the same product or service of a single advertiser, which always
use the company name or company trade name as part of the product or service name, may be treated
as a single commercial for use payment purposes where:
(a) the variations are identical except that part of the product or service name other than the company
or company trade name is different;
(b) a sufficient portion of the product or service name is retained to clearly identify the product or
service as being the same; and
(c) the different variations are not televised in the same area.

all the above requirements, qualifies under this paragraph 1.
2. Same product ² Different brand names
Variations of a commercial advertising the same product of a single national advertiser may be treated
as a single commercial for use payment purposes where:
(a) the variations are identical except that the product name is different to reflect the different name by
which the product is known and marketed in a different geographic area;
(b) the product is marketed by a single national advertiser; and
(c) the different variations are not televised in the same area.
This paragraph 2 shall not be applicable to generic products.
EXAMPLE:
A commercial for Unilever IRUWKHVDPHPD\RQQDLVHVROGDV+HOOPDQ¶V0D\RQQDLVHLQRQHDUHD
and Best Foods Mayonnaise in another area, and which otherwise meets all the above requirements,
qualifies under this paragraph 2.
Any principal performer in a commercial which qualifies under paragraph 1 or 2 above, shall be paid a
separate session fee for each such additional variation whether or not the principal performer was required
to render actual services for such additional variations.
For the use of all such variations in any one cycle, each such principal performer shall receive payments

27. DOWNGRADING AND OUTGRADING
A. Downgrading
1. If Producer engages a performer as a principal performer for a commercial, the principal performer shall
be entitled to use fees for the use of the commercial and may not be downgraded as long as his/her face
appears in the commercial as exhibited.
2. If a performer is engaged as a principal performer but his/her face does not remain in the commercial
as exhibited, the principal performer shall be notified of such downgrading within 60 days after the
completion of his/her employment, but in no event later than 15 working days after the first use of the
commercial, and concurrently therewith shall be paid an additional session fee. If such notice is timely
given and payment is made to the principal performer as above provided, the downgrading shall be
deemed effective retroactively to the date of such first use of the commercial and no use fees shall
become payable for the use of the commercial. If such written notice is not given or payment made
within the period above provided, the principal performer shall be paid as a principal performer for all
uses of the commercial which occur prior to the giving of a written notice of such downgrading, but in
no event shall such payment be less than the session fee. Whenever the face of a performer, engaged
as an on-camera principal performer, does not remain in a final commercial but such principal

HOLPLQDWLRQRIWKHSULQFLSDOSHUIRUPHU¶VVHUYLFHVVKDOOQRWEHHIIHFWLYHUHWURDFWLYHO\DQGWKe principal
performer shall be paid all holding fees and use fees for the use of such commercial up to the date he/she
receives such notice. However, if the principal performer is notified within a period of 60 days after the
completion of his/her employment but in no event later than 15 working days after the first use of the
commercial that his/her photography or sound track, as the case may be, is not being utilized in the
commercial and such is the fact, Producer shall not be obligated further to the principal performer with
respect to the use of said commercial.
2. If an off-camera principal performer is replaced in a commercial, he/she shall be notified within 2
working days after the replacement is made. If timely notice is not given, the principal performer shall
be paid all holding fees and use fees until notice is given.
28. LIMITATION OF USE IN COMMERCIALS OF MATERIAL PRODUCED

phonograph record, tape or other audio recording, or of any other production of a principal performer made under the
jurisdiction of SAG, AFTRA or SAG-AFTRA (including singers unless they are in an unidentifiable group) shall be
used in commercials without separately bargaining with the principal performer and reaching an agreement regarding
such use prior to any utilization of such photography or sound track under this Contract. The foregoing shall apply to
photography only if the principal performer is recognizable and as to stunts only if the stunt is identifiable. The
minimum compensation to which the principal performer may agree in such bargaining shall be the applicable session
fee and applicable use fees provided by this Contract. Group singers in an unidentifiable group shall be paid applicable
use fees as provided in this Contract.

of work covered by the material used plus the applicable minimum use fees under this Contract but not less than 3
times the applicable session fee at the rates provided under this Contract plus the applicable minimum use fees under
this Contract. However, the principal performer may, in lieu of accepting such damages, elect to bring an individual

employment contract or in the Production Report. Copies of the notice shall be sent to the Union
electronically to an address designated by the Union. However, whether or not the notice was sent to the
Union shall not be deemed conclusive evidence of whether the notice was sent in compliance with this
Contract. Upon request, the Union will provide a copy of the notice to Producer, talent agent or performer
within 15 working days.
Similar renewals for successive equivalent periods of time shall be deemed to be automatically granted,
unless any principal performer shall, not more than 120 days and not less than 60 days prior to the expiration
of any renewal period of use, give written notice of election not to grant such right of renewal as hereinbefore
provided. No person shall have the right to use any commercial after the expiration of the original or any

31. HOLDING FEE ² FIXED CYCLE
A. For the purpose of applying the provisions of this Section pertaining to the holding fee, each period of 13
consecutive weeks beginning with the first day of employment of any on-camera principal performer in a
FRPPHUFLDOLVKHUHLQUHIHUUHGWRDVWKH³IL[HGF\FOH´ All 13-week fixed and use cycles referred to in this
Contract may be calculated by counting 13 weeks or 3 months less one day. Whenever reference is made

consecutive weeks, in accordance with the accepted interpretation in the radio and motion picture industries.
1. The first fixed cycle for all on-camera principal performers in a commercial shall commence on the
earliest day on which services, including rehearsal, are performed in the commercial by any on-camera
principal performers. Services such as auditions, fittings, and tests shall not be deemed services for
purposes of this Section. (See Example 3, subsection H.)
2. The first fixed cycle for all off-camera principal performers in a commercial, who perform services
therein not later than 45 days after the date on which the first fixed cycle commences for the on-camera
principal performers, shall be the same as that for the on-camera principal performers. This in effect
shortens the first fixed cycle for the off-camera principal performer and in all cases the session fee may
be credited towards use which commences during such first fixed cycle. The holding fee for the second
fixed cycle shall be paid to both on- and off-camera principal performers whether or not use has
commenced in the first fixed cycle. (See Example 3, subsection H.)
3. (a) The first fixed cycle for all off-camera principal performers who perform services in a commercial
more than 45 days but not more than 91 days after that date on which the first fixed cycle
commences for the on-camera principal performers, shall start with the commencement date of the
second fixed cycle for the on-camera principal performers. This in effect lengthens the first fixed
cycle for the off-camera principal performer and if use commences prior to the commencement of
the second fixed cycle for the on-camera principal performers, then the off-camera principal
SHUIRUPHU¶VVHVVLRQIHHPD\EHFUHGLWHGWRZDUGVVXFKXVH,QVXFKFDVHWKHKROGLQJIHHVIRUWKH

the off-camera principal performer and further provided that the maximum use period of such off-
camera principal performer shall not be extended by reason of such adjustment.
4. The first fixed cycle for all off-camera principal performers, who perform services in a commercial not
more than 45 days prior to the date on which the first fixed cycle commences for the on-camera principal
performers, shall be the same as that for the on-camera principal performers in the commercial. This in
effect lengthens the first fixed cycle for the off-camera principal performers and the session fee may be
credited towards use which commences during such extended first fixed cycle. (See Example 5,
subsection H.)
5. The first fixed cycle for an off-camera principal performer, who performs services in a commercial
more than 45 days but not more than 91 days prior to the date on which the first fixed cycle commences

for the on-camera principal performer in the commercial, shall commence on the date of performance
of services by such off-camera principal performer and his/her second fixed cycle shall commence and
the holding fee shall be due on the date on which the first fixed cycle commences for the on-camera
principal performer in such commercial. This in effect shortens the first fixed cycle for the off-camera
principal performer and in no case may the session fee be credited towards use. (See Example 6,
subsection H.)
6. The first fixed cycle for off-camera principal performers, who perform voices for animated cartoon
commercials or in any other commercials not using on-camera principal performers, shall commence
on the date of the first recording session.
7. The first fixed cycle for all on-camera principal performers and off-camera principal performers, whose
services are incorporated into new commercials pursuant to Section 25, Integrating of Commercials
Into Different Commercials, shall commence on the first use date of such new commercial or on the
date a new contract is signed by the first principal performer, whichever shall first occur.
8. All principal performers shall be given notice of the date of commencement of their applicable first
fixed cycle.
B. Holding Fee ² Defined ² When Credited
Upon the commencement of the first fixed cycle and upon the commencement of each consecutive fixed
cycle thereafter throughout the maximum permissible period of use or any extension thereof, a principal
performer shall be paid a separate fee, herein called the holding fee, in an amount equal to a session fee, and
payment of such holding fee to each principal performer, whose services are utilized in the commercial,
VKDOOEHDFRQGLWLRQWR3URGXFHU¶VULJKWWRFRQWLQXHWKHXVHRIVXFKFRPPHUFLDO
Separate and individual holding fees shall be paid for each commercial made. (See Example 1, subsection
H.)
The holding fee may be credited against the use fees incurred in a 13-week use cycle which commences
during the fixed cycle for which the holding fee is paid. (See Example 7, subsection H.)
Similarly, the holding fee may be credited against the use fees incurred for a 6-month dealer use cycle which
commences during the fixed cycle for which the holding fee is paid. As provided in Section 31.D.4.,
Exemptions From Holding Fee, no holding fee is due for the first fixed cycle which commences after the
start of the dealer use cycle. However, a holding fee is due for the second fixed cycle which commences
after the start of the dealer use cycle and that holding fee may be credited against use fees incurred for a use
cycle which commences during that fixed cycle. (See Example 9, subsection H.)
In no case may more than one holding fee be credited against use fees incurred in a single cycle of use.
(See Example 9, subsection H.)
C. Session Fee as First Holding Fee
The session fee shall be deemed the holding fee payable for the first fixed cycle. Such holding fee may be
credited against use fees incurred in the first cycle of use, provided that the first cycle of use of the
FRPPHUFLDOFRPPHQFHVQRWODWHUWKDQZHHNVDIWHUWKHGDWHRIFRPPHQFHPHQWRIWKHSULQFLSDOSHUIRUPHU¶V

against use per commercial. (See Example 1, subsection H.)
D. Exemptions from Holding Fee
The holding fee provisions hereof shall not be applicable to the following:
1. Off-camera solo or duo singers or group performers where no exclusivity is obtained;
2. Nonidentifiable voices (disguised voices, dialects, cartoon voices or voices used for lip sync) or vocally
produced sound effects;
3. Nonidentifiable pilots;

7. Announcers in commercial billboards whenever Producer cannot choose an announcer but is required
to use the announcer assigned to a program;
8. Commercials made and used only for foreign use;
9. Commercials that have been withdrawn from use in the U.S., its commonwealths, territories,
possessions, Canada and Mexico, but are still being used in foreign areas, provided no exclusivity is
required of the principal performer anywhere in the world;
10. Principal performers who have been advised within 15 business days after the commencement of a fixed
cycle that their services in a given commercial(s) have been withdrawn from further use;
11. Commercials made for the Internet or made for New Media, unless holding fees are bargained separately.
E. Payment of Holding Fee as Condition of Use
If Producer fails to pay the holding fee on or before the date on which it is due and payable as set forth in
Section 44.B., Payment ² Holding Fee, all further right of Producer to use the commercial shall cease and
terminate, and the principal performer shall thereupon be automatically released from all contractual
obligations with respect to the commercial. Inadvertent oversight shall not excuse failure to make timely
payments or eliminate the damages provided therefor. If, during the maximum period of use of a
commercial, Producer desires to reinstate a commercial after the termination of the right to use the
commercial, as above provided, Producer may do so with the written consent of the principal performer in
an agreement which may or may not be in the form of the Standard Employment Contract and the payment
of not less than two holding fees, one of which may not be credited against use. Any such reinstatement
shall be at rates not less than the minimum contract rates then in effect.
F. Producer has the right, within the maximum period of use, to use a commercial through the end of a use
cycle without having to pay a holding fee for the subsequent fixed cycle provided that the commercial is
withdrawn from use at the end of such use cycle.
G. Consecutive Fixed Cycles; Non-Consecutive Use Cycles
Although fixed cycles, as defined in subsection A above, are in all cases consecutive cycles and all
requirements of this Section 31 regarding the payment of holding fees related to such consecutive fixed
cycles, the cycles of actual use of commercials and the cycles for which use payments must be made need
not be consecutive.
H. Examples
EXAMPLE 1:
Principal performer works in 3 commercials advertising the same product or different products.
The session fee paid for each commercial produced shall constitute the initial holding fee for the
first fixed cycle of each individual commercial. A separate holding fee shall be paid for each
subsequent fixed cycle per individual commercial. (See Section 31.B. and C.)
EXAMPLE 2:
Principal performer works 2 days in one commercial. Only 1 of the 2 session fees principal
performer receives may be credited as the holding fee for the first fixed cycle. Subsequent fixed
cycles require additional holding fees paid to principal performer. (See Section 31.B.)

EXAMPLE 3:
Principal performer A commences work on-camera in a commercial on January 5 and is paid a
$671.69 session fee. Principal performer B commences work on-camera in the same commercial
on January 8 and is paid a $671.69 session fee. Principal performer C commences work off-camera
on February 15 and is paid a $505.04 session fee. The first fixed cycle commences January 5 for
all 3 principal performers since this date was the earliest on which services were rendered by any
on-camera principal performer in the commercial. (See Section 31.A.1.)
The commercial is first utilized April 1 as a Class B Program (not including use in N.Y.)
commercial. The session fee is the holding fee for the first fixed cycle and, since the Class B
Program cycle commenced within the period of the first fixed cycle (January 5 ± April 4) the session
fee may be credited toward the use fees of $1,036.56 for each on-camera principal performer and
$719.95 for the off-camera principal performer. Principal performers A and B each receive $364.87
additional and principal performer C receives $214.91 additional for the use cycle. (See Section
31.A.2.)
EXAMPLE 4:
(a) Same facts as Example 3 except that principal performer C, the off-camera principal
performer, commences work on February 23. Since this date is 49 days after the first date on

for principal performer C is the period April 5 ± July 4, which is the second fixed cycle for
principal performers A and B. However, since Class B Program use commenced April 1,

for the second fixed cycle becomes due to principal performer on April 6; however, it may not be
credited against any Class A use fees which become due between April 6 and April 19, since the
Class A use cycle in which such uses occur did not commence within the second fixed cycle.
However, the holding fee payable for the second fixed cycle may be credited against any use fees
which become due to principal performer with respect to any new cycle of use which commences
on or after April 6 and prior to the expiration of the second fixed cycle, for example, a wild spot
use cycle commencing on April 12. (See Section 31.B.)
EXAMPLE 9:
Principal performer works on-camera January 6. The first fixed cycle for principal performer is
January 6 through April 5. On February 12 commercial commences a dealer cycle through August
11. Producer is exempt from payment of the holding fee due on April 6 for the second fixed cycle.
However, the principal performer is due a holding fee for the third fixed cycle which commences
July 6. This holding fee payment may be credited against any new use cycle which begins on or

The payments to be made to principal performers for use of commercials shall be based upon the kind of use, viz.,
whether as wild spots or as program commercials and upon the scope of use in each of these categories. A commercial
shall be deemed to be used as a wild spot if it is broadcast by noninterconnected single stations and (a) is used
independent of any program or (b) is used on local participating programs. All other uses of a commercial shall be
program uses.
Local participating programs, as the term is used herein, are programs available to more than one advertiser and not

IROORZLQJDUHSDUWLFLSDWLQJDGYHUWLVHUV´VKDOOQRWEHGHHPHGSURJUDPVSRQVRUVKLS
In the event a commercial is used both as a wild spot and as a program commercial, the principal performer shall be
paid separately as provided herein, for both kinds of use.
Open-end commercials shall be considered separate commercials as to each advertiser using them and the scope of
use shall be determined by the use of each advertiser. For example, if an open-end commercial advertising bread is
used as a spot by advertiser A in 3 cities and by advertiser B in 10 cities and is used on a program by advertiser C in
New York and Chicago, such commercial is a wild spot as to advertiser A, a separate wild spot as to advertiser B and
a Class A program commercial as to advertiser C.
Where a sponsored program, network or other, is not sponsored in a particular city, but is sold in that city directly to
a television station, which in turn presents the program as a local participating program, commercials which are
presented only on such programs shall be deemed wild spots and not program commercials. Where a program
exhibited on the network without any network commercials is sold or licensed directly, or made available on a
sustaining basis as a local participating program, the exhibition of commercials on such programs shall be deemed
wild spot and not program usage.

Local use of commercials as set forth above shall be only on single non-interconnected stations and such local
announcement shall be available to more than one advertiser in the same manner as local participating programs.
Such use of local commercials as wild spots shall not apply when used on programs exhibited on the major portion of
the network between the hours of 8:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. Eastern time.

Where more than one advertiser is identified as the sponsor of a local program or a segment thereof, payment of
program use rates will not be required for commercials of those advertisers. However, billboard copy instructions

program use rates on a local program will be required only when an advertiser is identified as the sole sponsor of that
local program or of any segment thereof.
33. WILD SPOTS ² COMPENSATION FOR USE
A. 13-Week Cycles
1. All compensation paid to performers for covered services hereunder grants Producer the right to
simultaneously stream or otherwise transmit commercials on the Internet and/or New Media. The
foregoing applies to simultaneous streaming, simultaneous cellular transmission and any other means
of simultaneous transmission that currently exists or may hereafter be developed. This provision will
sunset on March 31, 2019.
Compensation for use of wild spots shall be for unlimited use within a cycle of 13 consecutive weeks.
The use may be continued for additional cycles of 13 consecutive weeks by paying principal performer
the applicable fee for each 13-week renewal cycle.
2. In view of the fact that a wild spot used in a 13-week campaign may not always be broadcast in all cities
on the same schedule and more than 13 weeks may be required for the purpose of conducting a 13-week
campaign, it is agreed as follows:
Although each 13-week cycle of wild spot use shall commence with its first wild spot use, such 13-
week cycle shall not be deemed concluded until the commercial has been broadcast 13 weeks in each
city; provided, however, that in no event shall such cycle extend for more than 13 weeks in any one
city, nor beyond 17 weeks after the first use of the commercial in such cycle in any city.

700,000 to 1,049,999 Television Households are assigned 2 units, etc.
C. Method of Fee Computation
The payment for wild spot use is computed by:
1. Determining the maximum number of units in which the wild spot is played during a 13-week cycle,
applying the unit weights as set forth in Section 33.B.;
2. Applying the appropriate unit rates as set forth in Section 33.D. When the station lineup on which the
commercial is being used includes New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, compensation for such wild
spot use shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 33.E. and F.;
3. Totaling the unit costs computed as provided in this Section 33.C.1 and 2.
Table A attached hereto sets forth cumulative totals for use of a wild spot on a station lineup that does
not include New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles;
Table B sets forth cumulative totals for use of a wild spot on a station lineup which includes New York,
together with other cities;
Table C sets forth cumulative totals for use of a wild spot on a station lineup which includes Chicago

34. PROGRAM COMMERCIALS ² COMPENSATION FOR USE
A. Scope of Use
Compensation for use of program commercials shall be divided into classes as follows:
Number of Cities in
Class Which Televised
A Over 20
B 6 ± 20
C 1 ± 5
City Weight: In determining the classification for use of program commercials, New York, Chicago and Los
Angeles shall each count as 11 cities; any 2 shall constitute Class A use.
The classification of a commercial as a Class A, B or C program commercial shall be determined by the
maximum number of different cities including the appropriate weighting set forth above in which it is
televised during any portion of the applicable use period specified in the schedules below.
However, if during any 13-week cycle of use as a Class B or C program commercial, the commercial is
televised as a Class A program commercial, it shall then be considered as a Class A program commercial
for the remainder of that cycle. In such event, the principal performer shall be paid for Class A use of such
commercial for the remainder of the cycle in accordance with the applicable rates herein set forth for Class
A use. Producer may credit the payment due the principal performer for that proportion of the amount paid
the principal performer for Class B or C use as the then unexpired number of weeks in the cycle bears to 13
weeks. In no event shall the principal performer receive less than the amount due him/her for the original
class of use. For example: a commercial is used as a program commercial on a program which is televised
in 20 cities for a period of 6 weeks (Class B use). During the 7
th
week, the program with which the
commercial is used is televised in an additional city. For the remainder of that cycle, the commercial shall
be a Class A program commercial even though the program with which the commercial is used may be
thereafter televised one or more times in less than 21 cities. After the addition of the 21
st
city, and during
that cycle, the commercial is used twice. Each such use shall be a Class A program use and in the case of an
on-camera principal performer, $828.80 ($671.69 for the first use and $157.11 for the second use) shall be
due for such 2 uses against which Producer may take a credit of 7/13 of $1036.56 (payment for 13 weeks of
Class B program use).
If, prior to the commencement of a 13-week cycle of use, a principal performer has been guaranteed or if,
during any 13-week cycle of use, a principal performer has been paid for not less than 6 Class A uses of a
FRPPHUFLDORQDQHWZRUNWKHQWKHFRPPHUFLDODW3URGXFHU¶VRSWLRQPD\EHXVHGFRQFXUUHQWO\ZLWKWKH
Class A cycle, but only for the remainder thereof, in up to 20 cities as either a Class C or B or Special B
program commercial. The applicable class of concurrent use is based on the number of cities in which the
commercial is televised. In such event principal performer shall be paid for a full Class C, B or Special B
cycle payment in addition to payment for Class A uses thereof. The provisions hereof may be used for but
1 such Class C or B or Special B cycle with each Class A cycle of use. A commercial used in a concurrent

deemed Class A use and the payments made for Class C or B or Special B may not be credited.
All compensation paid to performers for covered services hereunder grants Producer the right to
simultaneously stream or otherwise transmit commercials on the Internet and/or New Media. The foregoing
applies to simultaneous streaming, simultaneous cellular transmission and any other means of simultaneous
transmission that currently exists or may hereafter be developed. This provision will sunset on March 31,
2019.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.A of this Contract, whenever a commercial produced on or
after April 1, 2016 and the one permitted edited version thereof are both being used within the same
Class A program use cycle, the foregoing formula applies with respect to the use of the edited
version, so long as the edited version is either 10- or 15-seconds in length.

INDEX
For example, assume a 30-second commercial and a permitted 15-second edited version (which,
for use purposes, are considered as one commercial under Section 26 of this Contract) are being
aired in the same Class A program cycle. If the 5
th
use of the 15-second commercial occurs as the
10
th
use in the cycle, 50% of the 10
th
use payment provided in the Section 34.B.1 schedules would
be due. If the 6
th
use occurs as the 15
th
use in the cycle, 50% of the 15

the Section 34.B.1 schedules would be due. This pattern continues for the entire use cycle. The
rates for this example are set forth below:

conditions:
1. In order to qualify under Tier One of this waiver, an unwired network will guarantee that the average
number of uses in each Demographic Market Area (³DMA´) will be no more than 1.5 per unwired unit,
using a weighted average based on the DMA¶s percentage of total U.S. viewers. A Tier One unwired
network must also guarantee that in the major hiring markets (Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago)
the number of uses will not exceed 1.5 per unwired unit.
2. In order to qualify under Tier Two of this waiver, an unwired network will guarantee that the average
number of uses in each DMA will be no more than 2 per unwired unit, using a weighted average based

in the major hiring markets (Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago) the number of uses will not exceed
2 per unwired network.
3. In order to qualify under either tier, an unwired network shall first provide SAG-AFTRA with
information corroborating that the number of airings per unit of commercials on its network qualifies
under the tire it seeks to pay under. At any given time, an unwired network may qualify to pay under
Tier One or Tier Two, but may not combine tiers.

5. Unwired network uses must be paid in the same 13-week cycle and in the same manner as other Class
A use, if any. The additional 50% (for Tier One) or 100% (for Tier Two) must be paid at the end of
the Class A cycle in which the use(s) occurred; for purposes of calculating that portion of the fee, the
use(s) are considered to be the last ones in the cycle, regardless of when the use(s) actually ran within
that cycle.

INDEX
6. The unwired networks will provide the Union with timely detailed reporting on the use of all
commercials on the unwired network, including information that distinguishes which commercials ran
as a part of the unwired network, and which ran only in local markets. The information will be directed
to the Union and will be provided no later than 12 business days after the conclusion of every calendar
month in which any commercial ran that is to be paid under the provisions of this Unwired Network
Waiver.
7. Should it be determined that, because of the frequency of commercial airings, an unwired network that
has paid under Tier One does not qualify under Tier One, but qualifies under Tier Two, additional
compensation will be paid to all commercials that have aired on that unwired network in the calendar
month within which it did not qualify under Tier One to bring payment into compliance with Tier Two.
Additionally, all future payments for commercials that air on that unwired network shall be paid under
Tier Two until and unless the Union determines otherwise.
8. Should it be determined that, because of frequency of commercial airings, an unwired network that has
paid under Tier One or Tier Two does not qualify under either tier, additional compensation will be
paid to all commercials that have aired on that unwired network in the calendar month during which it
did not qualify to bring payment into compliance with the current Commercials Contract, as though
there had been no waiver was in effect. Additionally, all future payments for commercials that air on
that unwired network shall be paid without the benefit of this waiver until and unless the Union
determines otherwise.
9. Except as provided herein, all provisions of the current Commercials Contract shall apply to
commercials aired on a qualifying network on the same basis as any other commercial.
10. The Union retains the discretion to revoke or modify this waiver as to any employer whose commercials
air on an unwired network that breaches its obligations under this waiver.
11. As of the printing of date of this contract, the following list of networks have been approved under the
identified tiers. Please contact the union or the JPC for the most up-to-date list: Active International,

shall be computed by multiplying the applicable unit price by the aggregate unit weight of all cable
systems and networks on which the commercial is transmitted as set forth in the table below; provided,
however, that in no event shall the compensation be less than the session fee nor more than the price

39. PROGRAM OPENINGS AND CLOSINGS (COMMERCIAL BILLBOARDS)
A. A standard program opening and closing and standard lead-ins and lead-outs made for a designated program

hereunder. Such opening and closing, lead-ins and lead-RXWVPD\LQFOXGHUHIHUHQFHWRWKHDGYHUWLVHU¶VQDPH

Industry, but may not include any commercial message on behalf of such product or service. The rates for
such program openings and closings are the applicable program rates for a single commercial under this
Contract, including the applicable guarantees and discounts. A standard opening and closing for a designated
program for a single advertiser shall be deemed a single commercial hereunder. Such opening and closing
may contain reference to more than one product or service of the advertiser. A standard opening and closing
for a designated program for more than one advertiser shall require the payment of a full additional fee for
each such additional advertiser. The use of a cross plug on behalf of another advertiser in an opening or
closing shall also require payment of a full additional fee.
It is the intent of this subsection A that, if the same product or service is referred to in both the opening and
closing, the claim made for such product or service may be split to include part in the opening and part in
the closing.
B. When a standard program opening and closing and standard lead-in and lead-out is used as such on more
than one program series, it shall be deemed a separate commercial for each program series on which it is
used and therefore paid for as separate commercials.
One or more elements of a standard opening or closing or a standard lead-in or lead-out may be used
separately, in which case each such element shall be deemed a separate commercial and payment for its use
shall be computed in the usual manner without any program series restriction.
Openings or closings other than standard openings or closings shall be deemed separate commercials for all
purposes hereunder.
C. If, during any cycle during which an opening and closing is being used, either the opening or the closing is
remade using the services of the same principal performer as appeared in the original, the principal performer
shall be compensated for his/her services in making such new opening or closing and it may be substituted
for the original for the remainder of the current cycle.
D. Exclusivity shall not be required of any off-camera principal performer engaged solely for openings and
closings.

Additional periods of use may be obtained with the consent of the principal performer.
C. If Producer intends to use a commercial as a seasonal commercial for a second season, the principal
performer shall be paid a holding fee, which shall not be credited. Such holding fee shall be due 12 working
days after the end of the 13-week (or optional 15-week) period and, if not so paid, the right of Producer to
use the commercial shall terminate.
D. Where Producer continues the use of the seasonal commercial beyond the first cycle, applicable use fees for

return the incorrect payment to Producer as promptly as possible. Alternatively, the overpayment may
be credited against subsequent payments due to the same principal performer under the following
circumstances:
(a) The overpayment and subsequent payments are made for the same advertising agency.
(b) The overpayment and subsequent payments are made on behalf of the same advertiser even if the
advertising agencies are not the same.

be applied to recoupment of an overpayment made under this Contract by a different advertising agency
(where the same advertiser is not involved) if, in an initial letter to the principal performer, Producer
identifies the overpayment as to the amount, date, commercial, advertiser and agency involved and:
(a) Producer obtains written authorization from the principal performer in response to the initial letter;
or

A. No compensation in excess of the minimum amounts provided for in this Contract paid to a principal

working days thereafter, the Producer shall be liable for an immediate additional liquidated damages
payment of $96.25 plus further liquidated damage payments at the rate of $10.70 per day from the date of

to execute his/her W-4 Form or other required tax forms or if the principal performer, having been furnished
an engagement contract on or before the date of employment, fails to return the signed contract promptly,
or when there is a bona fide dispute as to compensation.

upon wage increase applicable to Section 20, Minimum Compensation, in future negotiations.

arbitrating a dispute hereunder. As a condition of providing any copies of contracts, Producer may
require that either or both the Union and the Plans execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit J.
2. Where non-covered services are involved and there is a dispute between the Union and Producer over
the portion of the compensation allocated to covered services, the parties will use their reasonable efforts
to negotiate a mutually agreeable allocation and failing to come to an agreement, the dispute will be
resolved pursuant to the arbitration provisions contained in Section 58.C. hereof. In any such arbitration,

Contract, and any contract or engagement (whether overscale or not and whether at the minimum terms and conditions
of this Contract or better) in the field covered by this Contract as to the existence, validity, construction, meaning,
interpretation, performance, nonperformance, enforcement, operation, breach, continuance, or termination of this
Contract and/or such contract or engagement, shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following
procedure:
A. The Union, acting on its own behalf or on behalf of any person employed under this Contract, or the Producer
concerned, may demand such arbitration in writing in accordance with the American Arbitration Association
³$$$´/DERU$UELWUDWLRQ5XOHV7KHSDUWLHVVKDOOWKHUHXSRQHQGHDYRUWRDJUHHXSRQDVLQJOHTXDOLILHG
arbitrator acceptable to them both. If the parties cannot agree upon a single qualified arbitrator within 10
working days after the demand for arbitration, or such later date as the parties may mutually agree to, the
AAA office located in the city where such demand has been made or any other city to which the parties
mutually agree to, shall appoint the arbitrator in the following manner: the AAA shall submit simultaneously
to each party an identical list of 15 names of persons chosen from the Panel of Labor Arbitrators. Each party
shall have 15 working days from the mailing date or such later date as the parties may mutually agree to, in
which to strike 5 names to which it objects, number the remaining names to indicate the order of preference
and return the list to the AAA. If a party does not return the list within the time specified, all persons named
therein shall be deemed acceptable. From among the persons who have been approved on both lists and in
accordance with the designated order of mutual preference, the AAA shall invite the acceptance of an
arbitrator to serve. If the parties fail to agree upon any of the persons named, if those named decline or are
unable to act, or if for any other reason the appointment cannot be made from the submitted list, the AAA
shall submit subsequent lists to the parties until the parties agree upon an arbitrator or arbitrators that can be
appointed from said lists.

Los Angeles, upon whom service of a demand for arbitration and other notices and papers under this Section
may be made. If such name and address is not on file with the Union, or if although on file the named person
is not available, Producer irrevocably appoints the Secretary of the AAA as his/her agent to accept service
and receive all notices, demands for arbitration and service of process in actions on the award in any suit by
the Union or Union members. Producer further agrees that such notices, demands for arbitration and other
process or papers may be served on the foregoing persons by registered mail sent to their last known address
with the same force and effect as if the same had been personally served.
D. The parties agree that the provisions of this Section shall be a complete defense to any suit, action or
proceeding instituted in any Federal, State or local court or before any administrative tribunal with respect
to any controversy or dispute which arises during the period of this Contract and which is therefore arbitrable
as set forth above. The arbitration provisions of this Contract shall, with respect to such controversy or
dispute, survive the termination or expiration of this Contract.
E. Special Procedures for Allocation Disputes
Prior to filing any arbitration pursuant to Section 47.E.2. hereof, a request to meet and confer must first be
made to facilitate conciliation of the dispute. Such meet and confer must commence and conclude within a
reasonable period of time after the request. A demand for arbitration may be filed upon the completion of
the meet and confer or after 30 calendar days following the request to meet and confer, whichever first occurs.
In the event of an arbitration filed pursuant to Section 47.E.2. hereof, the Union and the Producers waive
their rights to a hearing and agree to submit the grievance to the arbitrator on written submissions.
Each party shall file its initial written submission within 10 days following designation of the arbitrator, each
party providing a copy of its initial written submission to the other party within 3 days following submission

initial written submission within 5 days of its receipt of the other paUW\¶VLQLWLDOZULWWHQVXEPLVVLRQ
Upon the request of either party, the arbitrator may extend the time limitations of this subsection E at his or
her discretion. Unless further written materials are requested by the arbitrator, no further submissions shall
be permitted. In any arbitration under this subsection E involving a Producer who is an authorizer to the JPC,
the JPC shall be entitled to receive copies of documents, notices, and awards rendered in such proceedings,
subject to the same confidentiality restrictions as agreed by the parties to the proceeding or ordered by the
arbitrator. Such documents, notices and awards will be provided to the JPC legal counsel by the union within
30 days following an award. The submissions and awards relating to such proceedings shall not be published
or otherwise made available beyond (a) the JPC¶VOHJDOFRXQVHODQGEWKH8QLRQ
Unless an authorizer that is a party to an arbitration hereunder objects, such submissions and awards relating
to such proceedings may also be made available to (a) any JPC authorizer that subsequently becomes a party
to an arbitration hereunder or receives a notice to meet and confer hereunder, or (b) any JPC authorizer that
represents an advertiser that is not an authorizer that subsequently becomes a party to an arbitration hereunder
or receives a notice to meet and confer hereunder. Except as otherwise provided by this subsection E, such
arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 58 and, to the extent not
inconsistent, the Labor Arbitration Rules of the AAA. With the exception of cases involving fraud or
undisclosed conflict of interest, no proceeding to vacate an arbitration award issued pursuant to this
subsection E shall be permitted.
Any decision of an arbitrator hereunder shall be final and binding upon all parties to the proceeding and
judgment upon such award may be entered by any party in the highest court of the forum, State or Federal,
having jurisdiction.
F. The Union shall be an ex-officio party to all arbitration proceedings hereunder in which any performer is
involved and may do anything which a performer named in such proceeding might do. Copies of all notices,
demands and other papers filed by any party in arbitration proceedings and copies of all motions, actions or
proceedings in court following the award shall be promptly filed with the Union.
G. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to give the arbitrator(s) the authority, power or right to alter,
amend, change, modify, add to or subtract from any of the provisions of this Contract.
H. It is the policy of the Union not to process unduly late claims. Claims regarding audition, travel or
production-related session claims (e.g., overtime, wet pay, smoke pay, meal periods, etc.) shall be submitted
to Producer no later than 6 months from the date of such audition, travel or session, or, if the claim is related
to payment, 6 months from the date the payment is made. It shall be the understanding of the parties that

All notices which Producer desires or is required to send to a principal performer shall be sent to not more than 2
addresses which the principal performer may designate, one of which shall be the address which principal performer
designates for the sending of payments on his or her Standard Employment Contract. The Standard Employment

61. WAGE CONTROL
In the event any increase provided for hereunder becomes subject to wage control and needs governmental approval
and in the event it is deemed necessary to submit the wage adjustments made under this Contract to a governmental
body or agency for approval and they are to any extent disallowed, the amounts disallowed shall be paid retroactively
as soon as payment may lawfully be made.
62. CONTRACT BINDING
With respect to commercials produced within the jurisdiction of the Union, this Contract shall be binding on the
signatories hereto and all parties who by reason of mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, sale, assignments or the
like shall succeed to or become entitled to a substantial part of the production business of any signatory. Each Producer
agrees that its signature to this Contract shall likewise bind domestic subsidiary advertising agencies and producers
engaged in the production of commercials within the jurisdiction of the Union LQFOXGLQJ ³+RXVH $JHQFLHV´ RI
advertiser signatories); provided, however, if such subsidiary produces commercials for local advertisers in cities in
which the Union has a local contract to represent the Union, then such Union local contract shall apply; and provided
further that if there are no such local contracts, then this Contract shall not apply to such subsidiary with respect to
local production for local advertisers in that area.
63. PRODUCTION STAFF
The following persons shall not be employed as principal performers with respect to the production of any commercial:
persons on the payroll of the advertising agency; staff or crew of the production company; or any person involved in
the casting process. This provision shall not be applicable (i) to animal handlers (appearing in a scene in which they
handle animals), (ii) to actor/directors, actor/writers, or actor/producers, or singers engaged in similar activity, (iii) in
emergencies on location and in studios.
Producer shall pay to the Union, as liquidated damages, an amount equivalent to the minimum applicable session fee
for each commercial for which such person is employed during a single engagement, up to a maximum of two such
session fees.
64. TREATMENT OF ANIMALS
The Producers confirm and reiterate their commitment to the principle that animals should be humanely treated during
the production of commercials.
Any issue relating to this subject may be referred to the Industry-Union Standing Committee under Section 55 of this
Contract.
65. ALTERNATE METHOD OF COMPENSATION
As reflected in the GRP and Clearinghouse Letter Agreement, dated January 29, 2013, the parties agreed that during
the 2013 to 2016 term of this Contract, they shall conduct the Clearinghouse Project and the analysis of the adoption
of the GRP-E compensation model as reflected in that letter. In addition, over the 2013 to 2016 term of this Contract,
the parties agreed to update the Internet and New Media Model Study to reflect industry and technological changes.
Should the parties, upon the conclusion of that update, identify alternative payment structures for the Internet and/or
New Media that they believe to be feasible, they may direct the consultant to more fully develop that alternative so
that the parties may consider it at a future negotiation. The parties agree to recommend to the IACF and the AICF
trustees that the IACF and AICF fund the updated Study as well as costs related to any further developments as a
result of the study. The parties shall proceed on these studies on the basis of mutual cooperation and agreement.
The parties will study alternative methodologies for calculating fees due to principal performers appearing in
commercials. In addition, over the 2016 to 2019 term of this Contract, the parties agree to conduct a study of industry
and technological changes so that the parties may consider the results of such study at a future negotiation. The
bargaining parties will use good faith efforts to begin the project within 90 days of the conclusion of negotiations with
the goal of completing the project not later than August 1, 2018. The parties shall each recommend to their respective
trustees that the AICF and IACF approve funding for the project. The parties shall proceed on these studies on the
basis of mutual cooperation and agreement.

66. SEPARABILITY
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or part of this Contract or the application thereof to any person or circumstances,
shall for any reason, be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,
impair, or invalidate the remainder of this Contract, but shall be confined in its operations to the clause, sentence,
paragraph, or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered. It is
hereby declared to be our intent that this Contract would have been accepted even if such invalid provisions had not
been included.
The parties hereto recognize that from time to time during the course of their bargaining, new laws have been enacted
with provisions that have remained unclear and several provisions of this Contract declaring established past practices
have been readopted in the absence of any known problem or legal question. It has always been and is the intention
of the parties to interpret and apply all provisions of the Contract in accordance with the requirements of law. To that
end, we declare that if any provision of this Contract is found to be in violation of law, this Contract shall be deemed
modified or amended accordingly. All terms and conditions of this Contract are separable.
67. HEADINGS AND INDEX
The headings in this Contract and the Index attached hereto, are solely for convenience of reference and shall be given
no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Contract.
68. MOST FAVORED NATIONS
A. The Union agrees to apply the same Contract provisions and waivers to all employers who become JPC
authorizers after the commencement date of the Contract. The Union agrees that it will notify the JPC
of any contracts entered into with and/or waivers granted to other employers that have provisions more
favorable than this Contract. The JPC may, at its election, extend such terms to JPC authorizers,
including any terms and conditions of such waiver or contract terms. The foregoing shall not apply
with respect to local or regional codes or to terms negotiated with local or regional advertisers or
agencies.
B. The Union will provide to the JPC all arbitration decisions rendered on or after January 1, 2000.

particular circumstances.
Stunt performers and pilots shall not be entitled to consecutive employment.
B. Overtime
A principal performer shall receive time-and-one-half for the 9

the principal performer who is selected is unavailable when called to render actual services, he/she shall
not be entitled to a session fee.

15 working days after the original date. In the event of such postponement, an amount equal to ½ the
applicable session fee shall be paid to the principal performer. In the event production does not take
place within said 15-day period, then another payment equal to ½ the applicable session fee shall be
paid to the principal performer and principal performer is thereupon released.
Only one such postponement shall occur during the 15-working day period specified above. None of
the payments provided for herein which become due by reason of postponement or cancellation of calls
may be credited against session fees payable to principal performer as a result of services rendered when
production does take place.
E. Rest Period
1. The principal performer shall be entitled to a 12-hour consecutive rest period from the time he/she is
finally dismissed until his/her first call thereafter, whether for makeup, wardrobe, hairdress or any other
purpose.
2. The above provisions regarding the rest period shall be subject to the following exceptions (provided
however that exceptions (a), (c) and (d) do not apply to minors ² see Section AA.8., Employment of
Minors, Work Hours and Rest Time):
(a) Where the Producer is photographing on a nearby location and exterior photography is required,
the 12-hour rest period may be reduced to 10 hours, but such reduction may not again be allowed
unless a day without such reduction intervenes. The reduction to 10 hours in the circumstances
described applies only if both of the days between which the rest period intervenes are spent on a
nearby location.
(b) Where a principal performer arrives at his/her place of lodging on an overnight location after 9:00
P.M. and does not work that night, the rest period with respect to the first call following such arrival

the time spent in such traveling to or from such location shall not be work time or travel time for
purpose of computing the 12-hour rest period.
82

(d) Where an overnight trip to or from location is required, and the same takes at least 7 hours to reach
and the principal performer is given a berth on a boat or train, or if the principal performer elects
to travel by first-class plane accommodations, the time spent in such traveling to or from such
location shall not be work time or travel time for the purpose of computing the 12-hour rest period.
(e) Where a principal performer is on an overnight location and is to be transported to and from a sub-
location, the rest period may be reduced to the extent of travel time to and from the sub-location,
but in no event by more than ½-hour at the beginning and ½-hour at the end of such day; but if the
rest period is reduced to 10 hours under paragraph (b) above, no additional ½-hour may be deducted
at the beginning of work on such day. The first call at the lodging for work (including makeup,
hairdress, wardrobe, or travel) determines the time of first call for the next day for the purpose of
computing the rest period.

he/she shall be entitled to liquidated damages of a session fee or $500, whichever is the lesser sum. The
principal performer may be required to waive the rest period if the violation is not over 2½ hours. The
above liquidated damages of a session fee or $500, whichever is the lesser sum, shall be automatically
incurred in any case in which the principal performer waives the rest period. The liquidated damages
may not be waived without the consent of the Union.
4. Singers shall be given a 5-minute rest period in each hour of recording. All on-camera principal
performers, except for minors, shall be given a 5-minute rest period in each hour of photography. A

prior WRWKHSULQFLSDOSHUIRUPHU¶VILUVWFDOOVKDOOQRWEHZRUNWLPHIRUDQ\SXUSRVHEXW3URGXFHUPD\
not have the principal performer do any such preparation at any place designated by Producer. The mere
fact that a dressing room is furnished the principal performer, to which he/she is not directed to report,
is not a designation of a place for preparation. In the case of wardrobe, for this subsection F.1. to apply,
the principal performer must be either allowed to take home the wardrobe or must be furnished a
dressing room and the wardrobe must be available to the principal performer in the dressing room. Any
call by Producer for makeup, hairdress or wardrobe is a call to work and not within the exception made
within this subsection. Any principal performer to whom Producer supplies the services of a makeup
artist for makeup, or hairdresser for hairdressing, shall be considered to have a call for makeup or
hairdress.
2. Where the principal performer has reported pursuant to a call for makeup, hairdress or wardrobe, the
time so spent shall be work time.
3. Producer shall either provide any special hairdress required or, in the event Producer required a principal
performer to furnish such special hairdress necessitating an expenditure, Producer shall provide an
advance covering the expenditure at facilities designated by Producer.

employment, shall be repaired or replaced at the expense of Producer, provided that notice of such
damage or loss is given Producer within a reasonable time. In the event the damaged or lost article is

performer fails to avail himself/herself of such a facility, he/she shall forfeit his/her right to recovery
under this subsection. In the case of loss or damage, reimbursement shall be made by Producer within
4 weeks.
7. Stunt doubles shall be provided with duplicate properly fitting wardrobe which shall be properly cleaned
after prior use by another performer.
8. Adequate facilities shall be provided for removing makeup and hairdress, which may be the same
facilities used for applying makeup and hairdress. Time spent in removal of complicated or
extraordinary makeup or hairdress, but not ordinary makeup and hairdress, shall be work time, but shall
be paid at straight time in hourly units.
G. Work Time ² Definition and Exceptions
1. For the purpose of ascertaining and computing hours of work, the rest period and overtime, the period
from the time the principal performer is required to and does report as directed, until the time such
principal performer is finally dismissed for the day, shall constitute work time, continuously and without
interruption, except as follows:

(b) Casting or audition calls, as provided by Section I;
(c) Individual voice and photographic tests, as provided by Section J;

(j) Travel time, to the extent provided by Section X.
2. Any period during which the principal performer fails or refuses, or is unable because of disability to
render services, and any period during which the principal performer, at his/her own request, is excused
from rendering services, shall not be work time for any purpose.
3. After the principal performer has been employed and after the starting date of such employment, none
of the provisions of this Section G shall break the continuous employment of such principal performer,
except as provided in paragraph 2 above.
H. Meal Periods
$OORZDEOHPHDOSHULRGVVKDOOQRWEHFRXQWHGDVZRUNWLPHIRUDQ\SXUSRVH7KHSULQFLSDOSHUIRUPHU¶VILUVW
meal period shall commence within 6 hours following the time of his/her first call for the day; succeeding
meal periods of the same principal performer shall commence within 6 hours after the end of the preceding
meal period. A meal period shall not be less than ½-hour nor more than one hour in length. If, upon the
expiration of such 6-hour period, the camera is in the actual course of photography, it shall not be a violation
to complete such photography. If on location or while traveling to or from location, the delay is not due to
any fault or negligence of Producer or its agents or persons employed by it to render the catering service by
contract, or if delay is caused by common carriers such as railroads, there shall be no liquidated damages
for violation of the above provisions. In addition, there shall be no liquidated damages for violations of the
above provisions that occur during unsupervised travel by the principal performer. If the caterer is chosen
carefully, and is delayed in reaching the location beyond the required time for commencing a meal period,
there shall be no liquidated damages for the violation, but if such delay shall continue beyond ½-hour, work
shall cease, and the time intervening between such cessation of work and the meal period shall be work time.
If on location and after commencement of work time, the company is given a reasonable breakfast without
deducting the time spent in eating breakfast from work time, then the first meal period may be 6 hours after
such breakfast.
84
INDEX
If by reason of a long makeup, wardrobe or hairdress period of a principal performer, application of the rule
would require calling a meal period for such principal performer at a time earlier than that required for the
rest of the set, Producer shall not be required to call such meal period if food, such as coffee and sandwiches,
is made available to such principal performer before the time for his/her set call, it being understood that no
deduction shall be made from work time for such period; it is further understood, however, that such
principal performer shall be given a meal period within 6 hours from the time such food is made available
to the principal performer.
The liquidated damages to each principal performer for meal period violations shall be:
First ½-hour ................................................................................ $25
Second ½-hour ............................................................................ $25
Third ½-hour ............................................................................... $50
Each additional ½-hour ............................................................... $50

employment. An inquiry by any Producer to the Union as to the first date on which a principal performer
has been employed in the Industry shall be answered by the Union and its answer shall bind the Union, and
Producer if it acts in good faith shall not be liable for acting on such answer, but Producer who failed to
report shall be liable to the Union for such failure to report.
If principal performer is an infant of 4 years or less, Producer shall state such on Pension and Health Plans
Production and Use Report forms.
F. The interpretation contained in the first sentence of Section C of this Part I has been approved by an advisory
opinion of the general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board. If such approval of such sentence is
changed by a ruling of such general counsel, then the new ruling of such general counsel shall prevail, until
the same is overruled by the Board or a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Board or a court of competent
jurisdiction shall change said ruling in a proceeding in which the Union is a party, then the new ruling or
opinion shall prevail, until the same is reversed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
G. The Union agrees that it will not impose unreasonable dues or assessments. If Producer claims a violation
by the Union of the provisions of this Section G such question shall be handled by conciliation and, if
necessary, by arbitration hereunder. It is the intention of the parties to prevent the Union from closing its
books so as to prevent any person who wishes to act in motion pictures from joining the Union. Nothing in
the preceding sentence shall limit the right of the Union to discipline or suspend or expel a member or to
refuse to re-admit him/her.
H. Children under 14 years of age shall be included hereunder.
I. Whenever any Producer is entitled hereunder to a permit or waiver from the Union, the Union agrees to
issue the same without cost.
J. It is understood that it would be impossible to accurately fix the actual damages suffered by the Union by
reason of a breach by a Producer of the Union Security provisions of this Part I. It is therefore agreed that
Producer will pay to the Union, as liquidated damages, the sum of $320.00 for each breach by Producer of
the Union Security provisions of this Part I. The hiring by Producer of a principal performer in violation of
the provisions hereof shall be deemed a single breach, regardless of the number of days of employment
involved in the hiring; but each separate hiring of the same person in violation hereof shall be deemed a
separate breach. Provided the Union has been notified by Producer in writing of the first employment of a
non-member under Section E of this Part I, then claim of a breach must be initiated in writing by the Union
within 60 days thereafter or the claim is invalid.
K. Any breach of the provisions of this Part I shall be subject to arbitration between the Union and Producer.

there is not a sufficiently large professional talent pool in the area of any office hereafter established by the
Union to warrant application of Preference of Employment, or if Producer so claims with respect to any of
the eleven cities identified by an asterisk (listed above), the matter shall be submitted to the Industry-Union
Standing Committee for determination. The Union shall notify the JPC in writing whenever it establishes
an office in any city not listed above. Preference of Employment shall apply in an area within 100 miles
from the center of each such city from and after the 60

waivers will be granted in accordance with the previously established custom in the motion picture
industry;
4. Persons having special skills or abilities, or special or unusual physical appearance where such skills,
abilities or appearances are required by and are used in a commercial, if professional actors having such
required skills or physical appearance are not reasonably and readily available to Producer through the

of this Part II. The hiring by a Producer of a person other than a qualified professional actor, in violation of
the provisions hereof, shall be deemed a single breach, regardless of the number of days of employment
involved in the hiring; but each separate hiring of the same person in violation hereof shall be deemed a
separate breach. Provided the Union has been notified by Producer in writing of the hiring of a principal
performer pursuant to Section D of this Part II, then claim of breach must be initiated in writing by the Union
within 60 days thereafter or the claim is invalid.
G. All disputes under this Part II shall be determined by arbitration.

III. STRIKES
A. No-Strike Clause
The Union agrees that, during the effective term hereof, it will not call or engage in a strike affecting

unauthorized acts of its officers, agents, directors, or members; neither the Union nor its officers, directors,
agents, or members not participating in the actions hereinafter mentioned, shall be liable for any strike,
slowdown, or work stoppage, unless the same be authorized by the Union in accordance with its By-Laws,
but the foregoing exemption of this sentence shall not apply unless the Union, upon request from the
Producer affected thereby, shall proclaim promptly and publicly that such strike, slowdown or work
stoppage is unauthorized and follows such pronouncement within a reasonable time thereafter, if requested
so to do by the Producer affected, with disciplinary proceedings in accordance with its By-Laws against the
participants in such unauthorized action.
C. Individual Contracts Beyond Term of Contract
Producer agrees that every contract (now or hereafter made) between the undersigned Producer and every
Union member shall contain and shall be deemed to contain the following clause:

period of duration and until a new Contract is agreed to, Producer covenants not to bring or maintain any
action or proceedings against performer because performer refrains from rendering services under this
contract by reason of any strike or work stoppage (whether partial or complete) called or ordered by the
Union. In such event Producer covenants (a) that neither the Union nor any of its representatives shall be
deemed to have induced performer to breach this contract and (b) that for the direct benefit of the Union and
its representatives, Producer will not bring or maintain any action or proceedings against them, or any of

conditions of this Contract shall be reinstated for the balance of the term hereof; provided, however, that, if
a collective bargaining agreement covering work of the type provided for herein is signed by Producer,
performer will, from and after the effective date provided for in such agreement, receive the benefit of any
applicable provisions of such agreement which may be more favorable to performer than the terms of this

contracts with the Union members in existence while this Contract is in effect.

For the benefit of all members of the Union, and of the Union, and of all other persons and organizations,
Producer hereby waives, relinquishes and releases any and all claims, rights, actions or causes of action,
whether at law, equity, arbitration or otherwise, growing out of the failure of any Union member or any
other person to render services prior to the execution of this Contract where such failure was occasioned by
the Union members, or other persons, obedience to a strike call (or picketing in connection herewith)
heretofore issued by the Union, irrespective of whether the Union member, at the time of such failure, was
under contract to render services, or growing out of the issuance of such strike call or the direction of such
picketing by the Union. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration (or termination) of this
Contract and shall have the same effect as if addressed and delivered personally to every member of the

Spanish population under 500,000 are assigned 1 unit each with an additional unit added for each

assigned unit weighting on the basis of the same formula. New York is assigned 32 units and Los
Angeles is assigned 39 units; Miami is assigned 17 units.

in New York and Chicago, the total unit weight assigned to such market areas is 41 units and the use

2. WAIVERS
A. General Conditions Applicable to Waivers
If a Producer requests a waiver affecting extra performers, the Union, if it believes that Producer is entitled
thereto, will issue the waiver, without the imposition of any conditions, which waiver, in the absence of
misstatement or concealment of the facts, will be final. If the Union believes that Producer is not entitled to
such final waiver, it shall issue a reviewable waiver (which is equivalent to a refusal of a waiver), or it may
issue a conditional waiver wherein it will designate the conditions upon which it is willing to have Producer
proceed. Producer may either accept such conditions or refuse to accept the same. If a conditional waiver is
issued and Producer rejects the conditions thereof, or if the Union issues a reviewable waiver, Producer may
nevertheless proceed as though a final waiver had been issued. If Producer proceeds without first obtaining
a final waiver or without complying with the conditional waiver, it shall notify the Union in writing to that
effect within a reasonable time thereafter, and the Union within 20 days after receipt of such written notice
shall have the right to invoke the arbitration procedure as provided in Section 58, Arbitration, of this
Contract, which determination shall be made as to whether a final waiver should have been given or whether
the Union was justified in refusing the same or in imposing conditions. If the arbitration finds in favor of
the Union, it shall determine the remedy to which the Union is entitled and make an award accordingly.
Producer, if it so desires, may refer to the procedure of Section 58 at any time (including prior to
SKRWRJUDSKLQJDQ\TXHVWLRQZLWKUHJDUGWRWKH8QLRQ¶VUHIXVDOWRLVVXHDZDLYHURUZLWKUHIHUHQFHWRDQ\
conditions imposed or sought to be imposed by the Union in connection with the issuance of any waiver,
and the decision reached in such procedure with respect to such matters shall be final.
All waivers shall be requested as long as reasonably possible before desired and shall be acted upon promptly
by the Union. If the Union fails to do so, Producer may proceed in a like manner as though the Union had
issued a reviewable waiver, so notifying the Union in writing and with the same effect as in the case of
reviewable waiver.
The application for a waiver by any Producer shall not be deemed an admission that Producer cannot proceed
without obtaining such waiver, nor shall the issuance by the Union in any instance of a waiver be an
admission that Producer is entitled to such a waiver.
B. Crowd Work
Crowd work may be performed by persons who do not possess the required skill, training and experience of
registered extra performers, under the conditions and restrictions hereinafter provided. Wherever Producer
employs 45 or more registered extra performers for work in a particular commercial on a particular day,
Producer may employ any number of nonregistered persons to perform crowd work. For purposes of this
subsection, extra performers who work as stand-ins or photographic doubles shall not be counted in
determining whether 45 registered extra performers have been employed on a particular day.
Such automatic waiver will be final, in the absence of misstatement or concealment of the facts by Producer,
and unconditional, except that the Producer receiving such waiver shall only employ or use nonregistered
persons to perform crowd work in accordance with the following restrictions:
(a) Nonregistered persons performing crowd work shall respond to direction by groups and cannot be
required to perform individual business or be required to memorize songs for recording or mouthing to
a playback; such nonregistered persons may be required to speak omnies and to sing.
(b) Nonregistered persons performing crowd work shall not be photographed in close-up shots, and shall
not appear in the foreground with, or immediately surrounding actors.
(c) Producer or its hiring agency may not designate in its call specifications of age, race, general type, or
wardrobe, with the following exceptions:
(i) Wardrobe customarily possessed by the average person not engaged in performing in commercials
as a livelihood may be required, but such requirement may only be specified as to the season of the
year, e.g., Fall, Spring, Summer or Winter, or light or dark clothes, top coats and hats.
(ii) The age specification shall not be more specific than a spread of 10 years.
(iii) Sex may be specified.
116
INDEX
(iv) Racial type may be generally described.
(d) The nonregistered persons so called may not be used in more than one commercial on the same day, or
more than 25 days in any calendar year.
(e) The first call to work for nonregistered extra performers shall be no earlier than the call for registered
extra performers and the dismissal time for nonregistered extra performers shall be no later than the
dismissal time for registered extra performers. When the production schedule requires that calls to work
be staggered, Producer shall advise the Union of the staggered work calls at the time the waiver is
requested.
(f) Interviews may not be required of nonregistered persons.
(g) Producer may add additional wardrobe on the same day a nonregistered person is so employed, except
that such nonregistered person may not be used to portray any particular occupation such as policeman,
fireman, nurse, doorman, maid, waiter, waitress, butler, guard, police matron, soldier, sailor, nor may
be required to wear dress-up period clothes or kilts. Nonregistered persons so employed may not be
³ILWWHG´WDLORUHGQRUHODERUDWHO\ZDUGUREHG
(h) Nonregistered persons so employed cannot be required to bring additional wardrobe, but may be
required to wear a complete outfit.
(i) Nonregistered persons so employed shall not be required to wear hair goods affixed by spirit gum.
(j) Nonregistered persons so employed may not be used to perform hazardous work, or other work calling
for an adjustment.
C. Undirected Scenes
(a) Crowds at Public Events ² Upon the specific request of Producer, the Union will grant an automatic
and unconditional waiver whereby Producer may photograph long shots of the normal activities of
crowds at public events numbering 1000 or more persons; such event must be publicized or advertised
and not staged for the production of commercials. Such events shall be open to the general public, with
or without payment of admission fee. The crowd so photographed shall appear only as atmospheric
background, except in the case of nonmilitary parades with floats.
Such scenes wherein principal performers, extra performers, or photographic doubles appear may be
used in a commercial only where Producer stages one or more tie-in shots, using registered extra
performers in connection with such scenes. In photography at such public events the activities
constituting the event may appear incidentally to the establishment of the locale and crowds in
attendance; provided that if one or more tie-in shots using registered extra performers are staged by
Producer in connection therewith, such events as well as the crowd in attendance may be photographed
and used in long establishing shots (not including close shots). The foregoing limitations shall not apply
to nonmilitary parades with floats.
Members of the public shall not be directed by Producer nor notified by Producer in any way that they
will appear in a commercial. Neither reflectors nor studio type lights shall be used by Producer in
photographing crowds at public events, except that principal and extra performers may be highlighted.
Sound recording shall not be made in connection with the photography of such public events, except
for wild or cue tracks.
Any person, other than a principal performer, who receives direction from Producer, or who is required
by Producer to wear make-up, costumes or wardrobe, shall be a registered extra performer. Where actors
or photographic doubles are used, all persons immediately surrounding such actors or photographic
doubles must be registered extra performers.
(b) Undirected Street Scenes ² Upon the specific request of Producer or its hiring agency, the Union will
grant an automatic and unconditional waiver whereby Producer may photograph normal activities of
persons in undirected street scenes, subject to the following limitations:
117
INDEX
(i) Photography shall be by a moving hidden camera, except for long establishing shots or running
shots or, under mutually agreeable conditions, other shots with a hidden camera.
(ii) Street scenes shall not be staged for the purpose of the production of commercials.
(iii) Members of the public shall not receive direction from Producer nor shall they be notified that a
commercial is being made.
(iv) Principal or extra performers employed by Producer shall not perform any business with members
of the public.
(v) Sound recordings shall not be made except for wild or cue tracks.
(vi) Neither reflectors nor studio type lighting shall be used by Producer in photographing undirected
street scenes, except for the purpose of highlighting actors or extra performers in running shots.
(c) Industrial Operations ² Upon the specific request of Producer or its hiring agency, the Union will grant
an automatic and unconditional waiver whereby Producer may photograph actual factory production
showing workers engaged in practical operation of technical and complicated machinery, subject to the
following limitations:
(i) The factory scene shall not be staged for the purpose of commercial production.
(ii) Principal or extra performers employed by Producer shall not perform any business with
nonregistered persons.
(iii) The factory personnel so photographed shall only appear as atmospheric background performing
their usual work.
(iv) Where principal performers or photographic doubles are used, all persons immediately surrounding
such principal performers or photographic doubles must be registered extra performers.
(v) Any person, other than a principal performer, who receives direction from Producer, or who is
required by Producer to wear make-up, costumes or wardrobe, must be a registered extra performer.
(d) General ² It is contemplated that during the term of this Contract certain shots of people engaged in
their normal pursuits and activities would be of production value but which shots would be of such type
or scope or in such locale as to be impractical to stage. For example ± long establishing shots of very
large crowds; long panoramic shots of locales; and incidental normal background traffic, either
pedestrian or vehicular, photographed in connection with a directed street scene staged for the purpose
of commercial production.
The Union agrees to cooperate with Producer in good faith to the end of liberally granting unconditional
waivers to Producer for the photographing of such activities.
D. Technical or Complicated Machinery ² The Union agrees to liberally grant waivers for the photography
of persons actually operating technical or complicated equipment or machinery.
E. Armed Forces Personnel ² It is contemplated that during the term of this Contract certain photographing
of personnel of the Armed Forces engaged in their normal duties or activities would be of production value,
but which photographing would be of such type or such scope or in such locale as to be impractical to stage.
The Union agrees to cooperate with Producer in good faith to the end of liberally granting unconditional
waivers to Producer for the photographing of such activities.
F. $GYHUWLVHU¶V5HJXODU(PSOR\HHV ² It is contemplated that during the term of this Contract, that upon the
specific request of Producer or its hiring agency, the Union will continue its present general practice of
liberally granting waivers for certain photographing of actual employees of the advertiser, engaged in their

D. No extra performer shall be requested by or on behalf of Producer to agree to any exclusivity provision of
any kind or nature nor shall any extra performer otherwise be limited in any way in his/her right to accept
and secure employment in any commercial hereunder because of his/her previous employment in a
commercial or commercials advertising competitive products or services.
E. Calls
(a) An extra performer is engaged if he/she has been notified of a specific date to report.
(b) At the time of hiring, an extra performer shall be informed of the type of work involved; the number of

WREHWZHHQWKHH[WUDSHUIRUPHUDQG3URGXFHURU3URGXFHU¶VUHSUHVHQWDWLYHSULRUWRWKHSHUIRUPDQFHRI
such work. An extra performer will not be discriminated against for refusing to accept hazardous work.
(c) If Producer requires a hand model to perform activities which by virtue of their nature will subject the
hand model to physical injury or hazard, it shall be deemed to be hazardous work (e.g., close contact
with flame or extremely hot objects and excessive exposure to detergents or chemicals). Performance
of hazardous work by hand models requires additional compensation, the amount of which is subject to
separate negotiation between the hand model and Producer.

to the fact that it shall not be in conflict with the collective bargaining agreements of the Union.

Producer. An inquiry by any Producer to the Union as to the first date on which an extra performer has been
employed in the Industry shall be answered by the Union, and its answer shall bind the Union, and Producer,
if it acts in good faith, shall not be liable for acting on such answer, but a Producer who fails to report shall
be liable to the Union for such failure to report.
7KH LQWHUSUHWDWLRQ RI ³ILUVW HPSOR\PHQW´ FRQWDined in the first paragraph of this Section 18 has been
approved by an advisory opinion of the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board. If such
approval of such sentence is changed by a ruling of such General Counsel, then the new ruling of such
General Counsel shall prevail until the same is overruled by the Board or a court of competent jurisdiction.
If the Board or a court of competent jurisdiction shall change such ruling in a proceeding in which the Union

jurisdiction.
C. 1. New York Extra Zone

anything in this Schedule D be construed as diminishing the rights of Producer under said Section 2.
E. The Union agrees that it will accept as a member of the Union any extra performer whom Producer wishes
to employ; provided, however, that the Union shall not be required to admit to membership persons
suspended or expelled from any other union which is a member of the Associated Actors and Artistes of
America. The Union agrees that it will not impose unreasonable initiation fees, dues or assessments
(exclusive of fines and penalties), and if Producer claims a violation by the Union of the provisions of this
sentence, such question shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions of
this Contract. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Union to discipline or suspend or expel a member
or to refuse to readmit him/her.
F. It is understood that it would be impossible to accurately fix the actual damages suffered by the Union by
reason of a breach by Producer of the provisions of this Section 18. It is therefore agreed that in the absence
of any other mutual agreement regarding damages, Producer will pay to the Union, as liquidated damages,
for breach by Producer of any of the provisions of this Section 18, the sum of $320.00 per person. Each
continuous employment by a Producer of a person in violation of the provisions hereof shall be deemed a
single breach. Provided the Union has been notified by Producer in writing of the first employment of a
nonmember pursuant to this Section 18, then claim of a breach must be initiated in writing by the Union
within 60 days thereafter or the claim is invalid.

19. PREFERENCE OF EMPLOYMENT ² EXTRA PERFORMERS
A. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 1, Recognition and Scope, of this Schedule D, in recognition
of the services rendered to Producer by qualified extra performers who have held themselves available for
employment in the industry, it is agreed that Producer shall give preference of employment, within the extra
zones set forth in Section 1 hereof, in filling calls for extra work to extra performers registered on the rolls

of those casting agencies designated by Producer to cast extra performers in accordance with the provisions
of this Schedule D.
B. ³5HJLVWHUHG H[WUDV´ DV WKDW WHUP LV XVHG WKURXJKout this Schedule D, shall be deemed to refer to extra
performers registered as above provided.
C. Only in the event registered extra performers are unqualified, or are insufficient in number, or are not readily
available according to the present general hiring practice of the designated agencies to meet the employment
needs of Producer, may Producer secure employees from any other source. Producer agrees that it or its
respective hiring agency will notify SAG-AFTRA prior to so securing employees from other sources. If the
Union claims that there are registered extra performers, qualified, sufficient in number and readily available
in accordance with the present general hiring practice to meet the employment needs of Producer, Producer
may nevertheless hire persons from other sources, but SAG-AFTRA may submit the dispute to arbitration
in accordance with the arbitration procedure provided in Section 58, Arbitration, of this Contract.
It is further agreed that additional persons who have ability, talent, or usability for extra work may be
registered on the rolls of the designated agencies only in those instances where there is not readily available
under the present hiring practice an adequate supply of qualified extra performers. Such persons who are so
registered during the term of this Contract shall become entitled to the same preference of employment as
extra performers then registered with such designated agencies, in accordance with the above provisions.
In the event that the Union contends that a person so registered does not possess the requisite ability, talent
or usability, or that there is an adequate supply of registered extra performers, the Union will so notify
Producer or its respective hiring agency concerned within 48 hours from the time when it is so notified of

F. It is understood that it would be impossible to accurately fix the actual damages suffered by the Union by
reason of a breach by Producer of the provisions of this Section 19. It is therefore agreed that, in the absence
of any other mutual agreement regarding liquidated damages for such breach, Producer shall pay to the
Union as liquidated damages in the event of such breach, the sum of $250 for each single breach. Each
employment or use by Producer of a person other than a registered extra performer on a commercial in
violation of this Section 19 on any given day shall constitute a separate single breach hereunder. In the event
the breach is disputed, it shall be resolved by the Industry-Union Standing Committee. Provided the Union
has been notified by Producer in writing of the hiring of an extra performer pursuant to Section 18, then
claim of breach must be initiated in writing by the Union within 60 days thereafter or the claim is invalid.

ALLOCATION GUIDELINES
These Guidelines have been developed by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television & Radio
Artists ³SAG-AFTRA´DQGWKH$1$-$¶V -RLQW3ROLF\&RPPLWWHHRQ%URDGFDVW7DOHQW5HODWLRQV³-3&´WR
assist Producers and Performers in determining appropriate allocations between covered and non-covered services as
required pursuant to paragraph 47.E.1 of the Commercials Contract.
These Guidelines provide an important indication to producers regarding those situations in which contributions to
the Plans may be considered by SAG-AFTRA to be inadequate. In those situations, producers will therefore have an
opportunity to bring to SAG-AFTRA¶Vattention circumstances that a Producer believes warrants different
contribution levels. In making the allocation, if a Producer believes that the application of these Guidelines is
inappropriate in a particular situation, or has questions about the application or appropriateness of the Guidelines in
a particular situation, the Producer may bring those concerns to SAG-AFTRA¶VDQGWKH-3&¶VDWWHQWLRQ,Q
particular in the case of music tour contracts, or race car driver endorsement contracts meriting special
consideration, Producers may wish to contact SAG-AFTRA and the JPC.
Provided a Producer allocates in accordance with the following Guidelines, such allocation shall be rebuttably
presumed to be proper in any proceeding brought to challenge such allocation under paragraphs 47.E.2 and 58 of
this agreement. These Guidelines are also subject to the provisions of paragraph 47.E.3 of the Commercials
Contract.
Guidelines
Commercial services include the right to produce and use commercials and to hold the performer to exclusivity,
whether or not that right is exercised.
A. 100% of contract amount is reportable where compensation paid is solely for covered services.
B. A 50% allocation for a multi-service contract where a SHUIRUPHU¶VVHUYLFHVFRYHUHGXQGHUWKH
SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract are involved with non-covered services. This allocation also
applies where no commercials covered under the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract are
produced or used in a given period but the Producer has a right to do so and to hold the performer

income in the entertainment industry is derived from modeling services, the allocation may be
40% for such contracts.
C. In lieu of any other allocations provided herein, 20% allocation for a multi-service contract of
currently active or inactive athletes who endorse a product/brand with which they are strongly
associated and who generally wear the corporate logo/image on their clothes or equipment or who
have product lines or other collateral merchandise associated with their endorsement. This
allocation does not apply to athletes advertising products that are unrelated to their sport.
Guideline B would be applicable in those cases.
D. In lieu of any other allocations provided herein, 40% allocation for commercials used exclusively
outside the United States.
E. In lieu of any other allocations provided herein, 40% allocation for a performer in commercials for
products or product lines which the performer has had an active role in developing and features the
SHUIRUPHU¶VQDPHRULPDJHLQWKHSURGXFWSURGXFWOLQHor collateral merchandise.
F. In lieu of any allocations provided herein, where compensation is comprised, in part, of royalties
or stock, 40% of any upfront non-refundable guarantee to performers appearing in commercials
for products or product lines, where performers have a financial interest in the sale of products or
product lines, and other non-covered services are involved.
G. Where contracts under paragraph A. (Guideline A) hereof include services covered by both the
SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contracts and the SAG-AFTRA Audio Commercials Contract,
allocations for covered services may be split 80% to services covered by the SAG-AFTRA
Commercials Contract and 20% to services covered by the SAG-AFTRA Audio Commercials
194
INDEX
Contract. Where contracts include non-covered services and services covered by the SAG-AFTRA
Commercials Contract, SAG-AFTRA Audio Commercials Contract, and/or SAG-AFTRA
Corporate/Educational & Non-Broadcast Contract, allocations for covered services may be split
90% to services covered by the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract and 10% to services covered
by the SAG-AFTRA Audio Commercials Contract and/or the SAG-AFTRA Corporate/
Educational & Non-Broadcast Contract. This provision is not intended to reduce the allocation to
covered services to less than 50% as specified under paragraph B. (Guideline B) (e.g. a contract
with covered services under the SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract and the SAG-AFTRA Audio
Commercials Contract would result in a guideline allocation of 45% for services under the SAG-
AFTRA Commercials Contract and 5% for services under the SAG-AFTRA Audio Commercials
Contract for a total 50% allocation).
