and that it is a
lawful rule and regulation of said Association that, as far as the
Manager herein is concerned, the Actor is to work only in companies
operated by the Manager herein when all members of said company or
companies are members of the Actors' Equity Association in good
standing and continue to be such during the entire term of employment
hereunder. And the Manager agrees that the Actor shall not be required
to work hereunder in violation of said rule or other lawful rule of
said Association, and further agrees to the full extent to which said
agreement is lawful that all actors in the company in which the Actor
herein is employed, shall be and shall continue throughout the term
hereof to be members in good standing of the Actors' Equity
Association, except as provided in paragraph 37 of the Rules.
Should the Manager employ any non-member of the Actors' Equity
Association, or any member not fully paid up or not in good standing,
or one who fails to continue himself in good standing, or should the
Manager breach any covenant herein made, the Actor may (the Actors'
Equity Association consenting) not only terminate this agreement
forthwith, but the Manager also agrees to pay the Actor all sums due
to the date of termination, plus his return fare and plus, as
liquidated damages, no present basis for calculation existing, a sum
equal to two weeks' salary.
_Arbitration_
6. In event that any dispute shall arise between the parties as to any
matter or thing covered by this agreement, or as to the meaning of any
part thereof, then said dispute or claim shall be arbitrated. The
Manager shall choose one arbitrator and the Actors' Equity Association
the second. ---- shall be the third. These three shall constitute the
Board and the decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be the
decision of all and shall be binding upon both parties and shall be
final. The Board shall hear the parties and within seven (7) days
shall decide the dispute or claim. The Board shall determine by whom
and in what proportion the cost of arbitration shall be paid, and the
parties hereby constitute said Board their agents and agree that its
decision shall constitute an agreement between them, having the same
binding force as if agreed to by the parties themselves. Further, that
they and each of them will, if required, sign such individual
arbitration agreement as to make said arbitration comply with a legal
arbitration under the law
