rged (except bona fide benefits) are to be counted and considered as performances under the Chorus Equity Minimum Contract. 9. If the employment under any contract relates to the second or subsequent season of any play, then the period of free rehearsals is three weeks instead of four, but this provision shall not obtain if 50 per cent or more of the cast were not members of the production the preceding year. 10. If the play for which the Chorus is engaged is rehearsed seven days or less and then rehearsals are discontinued or postponed, or if the production is abandoned during rehearsals on or before the ten day probationary period would have expired, the Manager shall pay the Chorus as follows: If the contract has been signed or entered into within two months of the date mentioned in Paragraph 2 of the Standard Minimum Contract, a sum equal to one week's salary, otherwise a sum equal to two weeks' salary. 11. In case the play is abandoned before rehearsals or the Chorus is entitled to compensation under the preceding paragraph, payment shall be made by the Manager to the Chorus not later than three weeks prior to date of opening specified in Paragraph 2 of the main contract. 12. Ten days' rehearsals means ten consecutive calendar days, counting Sunday (when Sunday is used for rehearsals) and said ten days terminate with the dismissal of rehearsal on the tenth day, as herein reckoned. 13. If the Chorus is not allowed or required to work out any notice of dismissal properly given under his contract the amount to which he is entitled shall be paid forthwith upon the giving of the notice. 14. The right of the Manager to close a play and company without a week's notice within four weeks after the opening date does not apply to the second or subsequent season thereof. 15. Notices of termination or closing given at or before the end of the performance on Monday night, effective at the end of the Saturday night following, shall be deemed one week's notice and such notice effective at the end of Saturday week following shall be deemed two weeks' notice. 16. The essence of this contract is continuous employment and a play once closed shall not be opened during the same season within eight weeks of the date of previous closing, without the consent of the Chorus Equity Association. Such consent, if given, shall be upon such terms and conditions as may be considered just and equitable by such Association. 17.
