Common use of Commercial Appearances Clause in Contracts

Commercial Appearances. A “Commercial Appearance” is any appearance by a Player in which the primary purpose of the appearance is to promote a commercial affiliate or commercial enterprise other than any or all of the League Entities, any or all of the PWHL Games, or the sport of hockey. When the PWHL or a Team requests that a Player make a Commercial Appearance, the Player shall be compensated a minimum of one- thousand dollars ($1,000) for the Commercial Appearance for up to two (2) hours (exclusive of travel time). If a Player consents to a Commercial Appearance of more than two (2) hours in length, the Player shall be compensated at a minimum rate of $1,500 for each hour or portion thereof after two (2) hours. A Commercial Appearance on behalf of a sponsor may include the appearance itself as well as the sponsor’s right to use or to refer to the Commercial Appearance within a day following the appearance. Except as set forth below and in the Group Commercial License Agreement, the PWHL and the Teams may not compel a Player to participate in a Commercial Appearance or endorse or otherwise support any product, service, and/or political or philosophical messaging that conflicts with a Player’s sincerely held political, moral, philosophical, or religious beliefs. In addition, the PWHL may not compel a Player to engage in any activity that violates or conflicts with the terms of a Player’s individual agreement(s) with a sponsor(s) or with an agreement that the Player is negotiating in good faith, provided that the Player discloses such sponsor agreement terms to the PWHL in accordance with terms of the Player’s SPA. Players traveling for Commercial Appearances shall be reimbursed for travel and related expenses in accordance with Sections 8.6, 8.8 and 8.10, above. Notwithstanding the above, in addition to their other contractual commitments, Players will, upon request, participate in an annual sponsorship event for the partners of the League and its Teams.
