Extraordinary Risk. EMPLOYER and AGMA agree that no ARTIST shall be asked to perform an activity which is deemed unsafe, and all appropriate safety precautions will be taken for all activities. The term "Extraordinary Risk" shall be applied to a performance, rehearsal, on- stage technical rehearsal or Dress Rehearsal which entails one or more of the following high risk feats for an ARTIST:
(1) suspension from trapeze, wire or like contrivance more than four (4) feet above stage floor;
(2) performing on stilts or like devices which place ARTIST's feet more than four (4) feet above stage floor;
(3) handling live and/or loaded explosive or pyrotechnic devices (for example, fireworks, a device used to produce an explosion), licensed or unlicensed;
(4) handling fire or performing near or around fire;
(5) any other form of high risk feat endangering ARTISTS to injury as mutually determined by a local AGMA Committee and the EMPLOYER prior to the first performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, performing on any construction or apparatus built above the stage floor or orchestra pit, regardless of height, shall not be considered "Extraordinary Risk" if it is of such stability, width, and protective danceability and having such railings as may be necessary to assure the safety of the ARTISTS as mutually determined by a local AGMA Committee and the EMPLOYER. For each instance of Extraordinary Risk mentioned above per three-hour segment, the ARTIST shall be compensated at the rate of $47.50 for each rehearsal, up to a maximum of $190.00. In addition, for each instance of Extraordinary Risk mentioned above per three-hour segment, the ARTIST shall be compensated at the rate of $47.50 for each on-stage technical rehearsal, each Dress Rehearsal and each performance. By way of example, the ARTIST shall receive a total of $47.50 regardless of how many explosive or pyrotechnic devices (an instance of extraordinary risk) the ARTIST has operated during the three-hour segment. However, if that same ARTIST also engages in a different instance of extraordinary risk (e.g. stilts) during that same three-hour segment, the ARTIST also shall receive an additional total of $47.50 for that different instance of extraordinary risk. Any incident of Extraordinary Risk that occurs outside of the above-referenced three-hour segments will be separately compensated as set forth above. Each ARTIST required to engage in flying incorporating either horizontal or vertical movement during any Rehearsal, shall be comp...
