SIDELETTER #3 [Deleted.] SIDELETTER #4 Employees involved in the preparation of material for broadcast may perform non-exclu- sive technical duties in connection therewith.

Because the parties were unable to forecast what other non-exclusive technical duties may be assignable in the future, the Company agrees to give prior notice to the Union of the exis- tence of such assignable duties. In addition, the Company agrees to discuss such new duties with the Union, giving good faith consideration to the Union’s concerns, needs and sugges- tions, prior to assigning such duties. The Company will provide appropriate training and an adequate period of familiarization in the use of such technical equipment. However, inability of an employee on staff as of March 1, 1981 to perform such duties after a good faith effort to do so shall not be a basis for discipline of such employee. The Company will not assign technical duties to the staff, where the performance of such duties is within the exclusive jurisdiction of another union. SIDELETTER #5
