    (a) Approvals and Controls: Director shall use best efforts to direct the Picture within

    the budget, on schedule and as instructed by Producer in all matters, including


    those matters involving artistic taste and judgment. Without limiting the
    generality of the foregoing and subject to Producer's right of final decision, unless
    Director is unavailable when Producer requires, Producer and Director shall
    mutually approve the following elements of the Picture: director of photography,
    production designer or art director, film editor, first assistant director, and
    principal cast members. No casual or inadvertent failure by Producer to obtain
    Director's approval shall be a breach of this Agreement. Director shall not make
    or authorize any material changes in the final shooting script, shooting schedule
    or budget without Producer's specific written approval in each case. Without
    limiting the generality of the foregoing, Producer shall have the right to review all
    script changes, artwork, dailies, sound recordings and other materials created in
    connection with the Picture at such times and places as Producer determines.
    Director shall not have the right to make or authorize any commitment for
    services, rights, facilities, equipment or materials, and shall not license, record or
    use any music for the Picture, without Producer's written approval in each case
    and all such services, rights, facilities, equipment, materials and music shall be
    contracted for by Producer in Producer's name. Director shall fully comply with
    all of Producer’s legal clearance procedures with respect to the content of the
    Picture including, but not limited to, clearance of scripts, props, set dressing and
    other visual elements. All proposed agreements for placement of products in the
    Picture shall be referred to Producer. The Picture shall be produced at
    Producer's studios utilizing Producer's production equipment and services or at
    such other studios and locations as shall be approved by Producer in writing. All
    post-production work for the Picture shall be performed at Producer's studios or
    post-production facilities utilizing Producer's post-production equipment and
    services (including by way of example, but not limited to, editorial rooms, video
    operations and rerecording stages).

    (b) Fixed Compensation: If Producer employs the production services of Director as


    director for the Picture, $________ total payable:

    (i) 20% thereof in equal weekly installments over the weeks preceding the Start
    Date of Principal Photography.

    (ii) 60% thereof in approximately equal weekly installments over the scheduled
    period of principal photography.

    (iii) 10% thereof on delivery of Director's first cut of the Picture.

    (iv) 10% thereof on delivery of the answer print of the completed Picture, provided
    Director shall have completed all production services required by Producer.

    (c) Alteration Rights: Director hereby grants Producer the right to change, add to,
    take from, translate, reformat or reprocess the Material in any manner Producer
    may in its sole discretion determine. To the fullest extent allowable under any
    applicable law, Director hereby irrevocably waives or assigns to Producer
    Director's so-called "moral rights" or "droit moral". Director expressly
    acknowledges that many parties will contribute to the Picture and other works
    that will embody all or part of the Material. Accordingly, if under any applicable
    law the above waiver or assignment by Director of "moral rights" or "droit moral"
    is not effective, then Director agrees to exercise such rights in a manner which
    recognizes the contribution of and will not have a material adverse effect upon
    such other parties.
