Please note that hard-copy versions of the Agency Regulations may be requested by

contacting the Professional Representatives Department.

1 NOTE: Your attention is called to Section X (M) of 12-C which states: “…The moneys belonging to the artist shall not be comingled with moneys

belonging to the agent but shall be segregated and kept in a separate account which may be known as a “client account” or “trust account” or a

non-interest bearing account. Each agent may have one or more of such client’s or trust accounts and may keep all moneys of all artists in one

or more of such client’s or trust accounts.”

PARTIES WHO MUST EXECUTE APPLICATIONS

If the applicant is a corporation, the officers, directors, and stockholders of the corporation

listed as such at the time the application is filed shall be deemed, at the option of the SAG-

AFTRA to be the officers, directors and stockholders of said corporation until SAG-AFTRA is

notified in writing of any substitutions, additions, or changes in said officers, directors and

stockholders and for the purposes hereof at the option of SAG-AFTRA, only those officers,

directors, and stockholders listed with SAG-AFTRA as aforesaid shall be deemed to be the

officers, directors, and stockholders of the corporation.

The application for an agent’s franchise shall be executed by the applicant and by each and

every person, firm, or corporation having an interest in applicant, directly or indirectly;

provided, however that any stockholder not active in the business of applicant who holds

less than five percent (5%) participation interest in the business, shall not be required to

execute an application, providing the stockholder or partners holding or owning at least

seventy-five percent (75%) of the total stock or participating interest in the application sign

the application. The due execution of the application by each person executing it shall be

acknowledged before a Notary Public or an equivalent officer. An owner of the agent who

executes a franchise application need not be franchised as a sub-agent.

OFFICE INSPECTION

facilities.

Our guidelines include (but are not limited to):

1. An agency must be located in a commercial office building or space.

2. The office space must be used only for business purposes and not for residential purposes.

3. There must be two rooms (reception area and office) or a built-in room divider.

4. The agency name must appear on the building directory.

5. There must be separate restroom facilities near the office.

6. An agent may not share an office telephone with another business without written approval

health, safety, or welfare of its current or future members.

WHEREAS, SAG-AFTRA has agreed to issue to the Principal a franchise to engage in business as a SAG-AFTRA franchised talent agency, upon receipt by SAG-AFTRA of satisfactory evidence of a surety bond.

It is a condition of this bond that the Principal is to comply with SAG-AFTRA’s Regulations Governing Agents under Rule 16(g) and/or Rule 12C, respectively (“Agency Regulations”) and all of the laws and regulations governing the acts of talent agencies in the State of ____________________ and a further condition of this obligation is that the Principal and Surety to this bond shall be subject to suit and or arbitration by action thereon by any person who shall sustain actionable inquires or loss or damage, including reasonable costs and attorney’s fees, by the conduct on the part of the Principal, and it shall be for the purpose of indemnifying any persons injured or damaged or who may suffer loss due to any wrongful act of the Principal, his agents or employees and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and assigns.

Regardless of the number of years this bond remains in full force or the number of premiums paid, and regardless of the number or amount of claims or claimants, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the surety bond exceed the penal sum of the bond.

The bond shall be deemed continuous in form and shall remain in full force and effect throughout the term that the talent agent maintains a SAG-AFTRA franchise unless terminated or cancelled in the manner herein provided.

statement or statements should be stricken out and a detailed statement attached to this application setting forth 1 the facts which caused Applicant to strike out the incorrect statement or statements. However, to the extent 2 permitted by Sections V and XVI of the Regulations. Applicant need not strike out, and there shall be no 3 misrepresentation. 4 11. Applicant has never been convicted of a crime involving embezzlement, theft, fraud, forgery or dishonest 5 conduct.

Refusal to give 35 such consent may be arbitrated, and may not be withheld if the proposed new owner is a franchised agent 36 or the owner of a franchised agent. If SAG claims that a person who is not qualified has become an owner 37 (as for instance where the transfer is involuntary by operation of law and the new owner is not qualified or 38 refuses to file a new application and secure consent of SAG) then SAG may submit the matter to arbitration, 39 and the arbitration tribunal may order the said new owner to comply with the Regulations, if compliance is 40 possible, or to divest himself of such ownership within the time and upon the terms and conditions specified 41 in the award. Failure to comply with such award shall cancel such ownership interest in such agent. The arbitra- 42 tion tribunal may reserve continuing jurisdiction. 43 20. Applicant hereby represents that all statements and information attached to the application for agency 44 franchise heretofore filed by Applicant under Rule 16(g) required by paragraphs 7, 9 and 18 of said application, 45 as supplemented by written notice to SAG as required by Rule 16(g), are true and correct as of the date of the 46 filing of this application, except as otherwise specifically noted in the statement attached to this application. 47 All said statements and information heretofore filed with SAG are, by this reference, made a part of this applica- 48 tion as though herein set forth at length, except as otherwise specifically noted in the above referred to state- 49 ment attached to this application. 50

AFTRA and it’s members, both present and future. Applicant further agrees that this application and the franchise issued pursuant

hereto, if one is issued, and the provisions of AFTRA’s Rule 12-C, shall constitute a contract between Applicant and AFTRA.

an office bank account and client trust account, a written statement detailing the ownership structure of the agency (with the home

address and telephone number of each owner), two letters of recommendation from persons employed in the entertainment

the entertainment industry, as well as such other facts upon which the undersigned relies in showing his/her qualifications for an

agent’s franchise.

5. Applicant shall attach hereto a statement giving the names of all members of AFTRA with whom Applicant has agency contracts,

giving the date of execution and term of each contract, including extended terms, if any. Applicant shall attach hereto true and

correct copies of all agency contracts between Applicant and any member.

6. If any person with whom Applicant has contracts for the splitting of commissions received from members of AFTRA in the fields

is incorrect, Applicant shall strike it out and attach to this application a statement giving all of the details with reference to any such

conviction.

9. Each person, firm or corporation, and all of them, agree to be individually bound jointly and severally hereunder. Each person who is

Agent with artists, or, if such person has any such contracts, then such person states that s/he now holds, or is applying as an

individual, for an Agent’s franchise from AFTRA.

11. Applicant recognizes that in industries as complicated as those within AFTRA’s jurisdiction, waivers may be necessary from time to

time with reference to the Regulations and this application, and Applicant agrees that AFTRA may grant such waivers, if permitted

by the Regulations, without affecting the Applicant’s obligations hereunder.

12. Applicant agrees to conform to the Regulations and does hereby consent to the modification of all existing contracts with reference

to industries within the scope of these Regulations between Applicant and present or future members of AFTRA in the manner and

to extent set forth in the Regulations.

13. This application shall be of no effect unless AFTRA issues a franchise pursuant hereto. Any initial franchise granted to a new agent

shall be a temporary one-year franchise. At the end of such one-year period, the agent will be granted a franchise unless the

denied or that the temporary franchise is being extended.

14. Notice to the party in whose name the franchise is issued shall be notice to all parties who join herein.

statement are the owners of interests in Applicant and the percentage of interest of each, and the nature of such ownership,

whether stock, partnership, or otherwise. Applicant agrees to notify AFTRA promptly upon the occurrence of any change. AFTRA

may request any applicant or any franchise agent to submit from time to time a complete description of the legal and factual

organization of such applicant or franchised agent, listing all persons owning an interest therein, the interest owned by each, and all

All applicants for franchise agree that their initial franchises shall be temporary and conditional for a period of no less than twelve (12) months, subject to a review for permanency thereafter.

All applicants for franchise are required to accept the following terms and conditions in order for SAG-AFTRA to complete the application process:

1. No contract for representation in any area where SAG-AFTRA has exercised jurisdiction may specify a higher rate of commission than ten percent (10%). Said limitation of commission may not be avoided or evaded by any device or arrangement for the payment to the agent of additional compensation for other services including, but not limited to: publicity, photography, business management, personal management, coaching, schools/courses, workshops/seminars, casting, talent directories/websites, resumes, on or off-camera audition materials, demo reels, or similar materials in which the agent has a direct (or indirect) interest. Non-conforming agency contracts which have not been approved by SAG-AFTRA shall be considered null and void, and a violation of SAG-AFTRA franchise terms.

2. Under no circumstances will you require, recommend, suggest or name any third party businesses (e.g., photographers, websites, classes, workshops, etc.) for use by current or prospective clients. The acceptance of “kickbacks" or referral fees on photography, printing and/or any other services from any third party business is expressly prohibited. You agree that you will not advise, recommend, require or make it mandatory that your current or prospective clients attend specific acting schools, workshops/ seminars, or in any way make attending such endeavors a precondition for representation.

3. Casting on any basis is prohibited.

4. The agent shall ascertain whether an employer with whom he or she negotiates on behalf of a member is signatory to the applicable Union collective bargaining agreement. Telephone verification from SAG-AFTRA will satisfy the foregoing requirement.

5. All books and papers relating to the financial records of the agency shall be made available for inspection to SAG-AFTRA upon reasonable request to do so.

6. You have an obligation to maintain a current talent agency license (or applicable business operating permit) at all times and to maintain a permanent office in a

2

commercially-zoned office space, which is separate and apart from any residential establishment. All talent agency offices are subject to inspection and approval by SAG-AFTRA prior to franchise.

7. Applicant will furnish SAG-AFTRA with verification by its financial institution of at least two necessary bank accounts: (1) a non-interest bearing trust/escrow account and (2) a standard business operating account. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure SAG-AFTRA’s requirements in this regard are satisfied by their financial/banking institution.

8. Applicant understands that as part of the franchise approval process, SAG-AFTRA reserves the right to conduct standard background checks on any and all owner-applicants and/or their employees/independent contractors to ensure they have not been previously convicted of crimes including, but not limited to, embezzlement, theft, fraud, forgery or dishonest conduct. Applicants agree to voluntarily disclose all such convictions to SAG-AFTRA as part of the initial application process; failure to do so may affect applicant’s ultimate approval.

9. Applicant understands that it must conduct itself at all times with due regard to public conventions and morals, and must refrain from any behavior that contravenes SAG-AFTRA’s high fiduciary standards. Accordingly, Applicant (inclusive of its employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, associated parties and affiliates) shall not: (i) commit any act or do anything which might reasonably be considered to be immoral, deceptive, scandalous or obscene which may shock or insult public morals or decency (ii) be charged or convicted of any acts which may be considered immoral, deceptive, scandalous or obscene. Applicant shall immediately notify SAG-AFTRA of any such incidences as part of its application process and acknowledges that SAG-AFTRA may exercise its discretion when determining whether Applicant’s conduct disqualifies it from affiliation as a franchised agency.

10. The entirety of the SAG-AFTRA Agency Regulations are incorporated herein, by reference.

By your acceptance of the above, you concurrently undertake that said document becomes a part of the franchise application and a condition of the franchise when and if issued by SAG-AFTRA. This supplemental application covers SAG, AFTRA, and SAG-AFTRA-covered employment opportunities. Any violation of the above-referenced provisions may lead to the deemed surrender of the agency’s franchise.

Kindly indicate your acceptance by signing and returning this Supplemental Application with your franchise application.
