The call must state the number and length of announcements and the estimated time required for recording. In any case, when a Performer has a bona fide engagement which may conflict with the recording session, beyond the time of his call, Producer agrees that if the Performer is advised of such conflict at the time of the call, the Performer's attendance at such conflict shall not be considered a breach of contract and agrees to pay Performer according to the Performer's contracted call notwithstanding such conflict. No Performer employed at minimum scale rate shall be requested to divulge any information on exclusivity.

In the case of a demo or copy test (i.e., non-air commercial), Producer must advise the Performer of such anticipated use at the time of auditions as well as engagement. Any performer who is placed on “hold” shall be considered engaged. B. With respect to any aspect of the creation or production of a music track, any individual who does not render services covered by this Agreement shall not be entitled to any of the benefits provided for herein including without limitation, those referred to in Section 66, AFTRA Health and Retirement Funds.
