AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 1st day of January, 2006, by and between PNGI XXXXXXX TOWN GAMING LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, or its successors (hereinafter referred to as “EMPLOYER”) and the WEST VIRGINIA UNION OF MUTUEL CLERKS, LOCAL 553, SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION, AFL-CIO, or its successor (hereinafter referred to as “UNION”).

PREAMBLE

The general purpose of this Agreement is to set forth terms and conditions of employment, and to promote orderly and peaceful labor relations for the mutual interests of Employer, the Employees and Union.

The parties recognize that the success of Employer and the job security of the Employees depend on Employer’s success in offering and marketing quality thoroughbred and simulcast racing programs.

To these ends, Employer and Union encourage to the fullest degree friendly and cooperative relations between their respective representatives at all levels and among all Employee’s, whether or not covered by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 1 - RECOGNITION

1.1 The Employer hereby recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining representative with respect to wages, hours and other conditions of employment for all Employees of the Employer who are employed at the PNGI Xxxxxxx Town Gaming Limited Liability Company, in the Pari-Mutuel Department, and the Jockey-Valets, excluding the Mutuel Manager, Assistant Mutuel Manager, Office Manager, Head Cashier, Assistant Head Cashier, Xxxxxx, Auditor, Data Processing Employees and all Supervisory and Security Personnel. At all times mentioned

herein, “Employee” shall mean only those Employees who are members in good standing of the Union and there shall be no distinction between “live racing” mutuel employees and simulcast mutuel employees. This Agreement shall apply to existing job classifications set forth in Schedule A hereof and, in addition to the exclusions set forth above, shall not apply to new job classifications established by the Employer, except as specifically herein provided.

ARTICLE 2 - TERM OF AGREEMENT

2.1 This Agreement shall be effective as of the 1st day of January, 2006, and shall continue in force and effect until midnight, December 31, 2010; and from year to year thereafter, unless either party, at least sixty (60) days prior to said termination date, or prior to sixty (60) days before the end of any subsequent term, gives written notice to the other to terminate this Agreement. In the event that such notice is given, negotiations shall be opened not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of this Agreement, or any subsequent anniversary date.

ARTICLE 3 - WAGES AND OTHER RATES

3.1 Effective January 1, 2006, all Employees covered by this Agreement shall receive a retroactive across-the-board wage increase effective July 1, 2005 as follows: Mutuel Clerks, $5.00; Jockey Valets, $7.00.

3.2 WAGES. Beginning January 1, 2006, the wages of pay for each classification effective during the term of this Agreement shall be as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.

3.3 The rates of pay set forth in Schedule A shall be paid for each race day which consists of five hours worked. Pay will be in fifteen (15) minute increments after five (5) hours.

3.4 Unless notified by the Employer at least one hour prior to the scheduled reporting time that there is no available work, an Employee who reports for work shall receive ten dollars

($10.00). This notification may, at the Employer’s option, be by way of an automated phone line message. If the Employer exercises this option and installs the automated phone line, it shall be the obligation of each Employee to call and check the automated phone line to determine if they should report to work.

3.5 Overtime records shall be maintained by the Employer and the Employer will make each employee’s overtime records available to such employee for payroll verification purposes.

3.6 All Jockey-Valets shall receive for each racing day consisting of at least eight (8) races but not more than ten (10) races, his/her normal daily rate. For all races in excess of ten (10), each valet shall receive pay equal to one and one quarter (1.25) times his/her regular pay. Said pay shall be calculated by dividing the base pay by ten (10) and multiplying the product of that calculation by one and one quarter (1.25) times for each race after ten (10).

3.7 All Mutuel Clerks covered by this Agreement shall receive Ten Dollars ($10.00) per day extra pay for work performed on the day of the West Virginia Breeders Classic race, the National Breeders Cup day and Triple Crown series, each of which consists of a five (5) hour shift.

3.8 For a racing program which runs in excess of six (6) hours, an Employee shall receive pay at one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the normal rate for all hours worked in excess of six (6) hours, said pay for work over six (6) hours to be calculated in fifteen (15) minute increments.

3.9 In light of the elimination of the money room bargaining positions, the two (2) employees who had been employed in the money room will receive no decrease in their level of pay even though they may have taken positions having a lower pay grade. Their wage rates at their former money room pay level will remain in effect and will be frozen until the remainder of the bargaining unit employees wages catch up with them at their pay grade.

3.10 Self-Service Machines – In accordance with the terms of the prior agreement between the parties, as of January 1, 2005, the Employer had the right to use self-service machines until the handle on the self-service machines exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the total handle for every day during the meets. Commencing July 1, 2005, and then each January 1 thereafter during the five-year term of this Agreement, the 30% of total handle cap on the use of self-service machines will be increased by 4% (July 1, 2005 – 34%; January 1, 2006 – 38%; January 1, 2007 – 42%; January 1, 2008 – 46%, and January 1, 2009 – 50%) ending at 50%. Review of the self-service handle shall be done on a quarterly basis and will be based on the average handle over the quarter. In the event the applicable self-service cap is exceeded, Employer agrees to assign more employees to teller terminals so as to keep the use of self-service machines at the applicable cap or less. The Employer shall have the sole right to determine the number of additional employees needed to comply with this provision. Terminal Operators hired prior to September 10, 1997, will not be displaced due to technology.

ARTICLES 4 - NEW JOBS

4.1 The Employer shall have the right to create any new Union job classification in any department covered by this Agreement which it deems appropriate and establish the rate of pay to be given such new classification, provided, however, that the Employer, prior to the effective date of such new job classification, shall meet with the Union to discuss such new job classification and the proposed rate of pay. If there is no agreement on the rate of pay for such new job classification within sixty (60) calendar days of such first meeting, such dispute shall, at the option of either party, be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE 9 - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE.

4.2 The Employer shall have the right to start operating under such new job classifications and continue to operate the same at the rates established by the Employer until agreement with the Union can be reached, or until the decision of the arbitrator is received. If the Employer is ordered to pay a higher rate by an arbitrator, or by agreement between the parties, all such

increases shall be made retroactive to the first day of hire of all Employees in such new job classifications.

4.3 All new jobs created by the Employer under this Article 4 shall be posted and filled by bidding as is provided for the filing of permanent job vacancies in ARTICLE 6 - SENIORITY.

4.4 In the event that any additional new or alternative forms of gambling are conducted by or at PNGI XXXXXXX TOWN GAMING LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, limited to off-track wagering and telephone account wagering, all jobs created as a result of this new gambling will be Union jobs and assigned by the provisions of ARTICLE 6 - SENIORITY.

ARTICLE 5 - UNION SECURITY

5.1 All new employees (employees hired on or after January 1, 2001) included in the bargaining unit covered by this Agreement shall be considered probationary employees until they have worked forty-five (45) programs at the PNGI Xxxxxxx Town Gaming Limited Liability Company. During an employee’s probationary period of employment, the Employer may terminate such probationary employee at the Employer’s sole discretion and such termination shall not fall within the Grievance Procedure as provided by Article 9.

Any employee who is a member of the Union on the effective date of this Agreement shall be required, as a condition of employment, to remain a member of the Union. Any other employee, excluding Jockey Valets, shall be required, as a condition of employment, to become and remain a member of the Union upon the completion of twenty (20) days or more of work, and in the case of Jockey Valets upon the completion of working fifty (50) live racing days, regardless of the number of years it takes to accumulate such twenty (20) or fifty (50) days, as applicable. No full-time employee who is employed on a regular basis shall be required to join the Union until he/she has worked twenty (20) days and in the case of Jockey Valets until he/she has worked fifty (50) live racing days.

5.2 The Employer may hire new Employees from any source, however, it agrees that it will not discriminate against Union members, if they are qualified. Management’s decision on qualifications and whether such applicant is satisfactory, shall be binding on all parties.

5.3 The Union agrees that all Employees included in the bargaining unit covered by this Agreement shall be admitted to membership in the Union upon application and tender of regular dues and initiation fees which uniformly apply to all members of the Union at such time.

5.4 The Employer agrees to deduct Union dues and initiation fees from the wages of Employees who authorize such deductions in writing pursuant to a procedure and on a form mutually acceptable to the Employer and the Union. In the event any Employee shall become delinquent in the payment of dues, regular initiation fees and assessments and fines which universally apply to all members of the Union, and the Union shall give written notice of such delinquency to the Employer; then and in that event, the Employer shall discharge such Employee, if the Employee has not paid such delinquency within five (5) days from the receipt of such written notice to the Employer.

5.5 The Union will defend, indemnify and save harmless the Employer herein against all claims, demands, liabilities and disputes that may arise out of or by reason of any action taken or not taken by the Employer at the request of the Union, for the purpose of complying with any of the provisions of this section. The Employer will defend, indemnify and save harmless the Union and each of its members against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and disputes that may arise out of or by reason of any action taken or not taken by the Union or any of its members at the request of the Employer, for the purpose of complying with any provision of this Contract.

5.6 The President, Business Agent or other authorized representatives of the Union, not to exceed three (3) in number, shall have access to the Employer’s plant during the race meetings, for the purpose of adjusting grievances, investigating working conditions and carrying into effect

the provisions of this Agreement, but such access shall be set at such times and places and in such manner which will not interfere with the regular duties of the Employees or other operations of Employer’s business.

5.7 The Employer shall provide office space at the track for the Union for the purpose of conducting Union business. In the event of a redesign or reconfiguration of the facility, the Employer shall have the option of providing substitute office space of a size and location comparable to the office space provided for the Union as of the effective date of this Agreement. The office space so provided shall not be open, for any purpose, during the normal working hours, unless such use is specifically approved by the Employer and shall not be used at any time as a break room. Employees on duty will also be prohibited from performing union work while on duty. The exception to this restriction is that an employee who is scheduled for a disciplinary interview will be entitled to have a Union representative present upon request as provided by the federal Xxxxxxxxxx doctrine which provides union representation during an investigatory interview if an employee has a reasonable belief that discipline or other adverse consequences may result from what he or she says.

ARTICLE 6 – SENIORITY

6.1 The Employer believes in and will continue to practice the principles of seniority. Except as hereinafter provided, in all cases of promotions, filling of permanent or temporary vacancies, permanent or temporary transfers, and increase or decrease of work force, the Employer will take into consideration an Employee’s seniority and ability to perform the work. In determining an Employee’s ability to perform the normal requirements of the new job, consideration will be given to job experience, related job experience, education and/or ability and the legal requirements mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act. However, it is recognized that in making promotions to jobs higher up in a line of progressions requiring supervisory qualifications, leadership must also be considered a factor of ability. When all the factors that constitute ability to perform the work are relatively equal, then seniority shall prevail.

The following job classification shall be filled in the discretion of the Employer on the basis of seniority as primary determinative factor and ability to perform the work as a secondary determinative factor: extra duty jobs and dedicated or special windows.

6.2 Subject to the provisions of this Article, seniority, as of the effective date of this Agreement, shall be based on the length of continuing employment at the track from the date of hire (track seniority), which seniority shall be used in establishing seniority in each of the following departments of the Employer:

(A) Pari-Mutuel Department

(B) Jockey-Valets Department

6.3 There shall be the following two seniority lists which shall be maintained by the Employer:

(A) Full time Employees including full time extra Employees

(B) Part time Employees

Full time Employees are those Employees who hold specific job positions and work regularly from Monday through Sunday; however, Sunday work is optional for all Employees who worked for Shenandoah Downs or Xxxxxxx Town Races, Inc. prior to January 1, 1979 and who since said date have continuously worked for Xxxxxxx Town Races, Inc. and PNGI Xxxxxxx Town Gaming Limited Liability Company through the date of this contract, and failure of any such Employee to work on Sunday shall not adversely affect his/her seniority or his/her status as a full time Employee. Full time extra Employees are those full time Employees who fill in for full time Employees on any day between Monday and Thursday and who may fill in for absent full time Employees on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, if such vacancies are not filled by part time Employees on these days. Part time Employees are those Employees who work Friday, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Said lists when prepared, shall include, by date of hire, all Employees of the track who were employed by either Shenandoah Downs or Xxxxxxx Town Races, Inc. The Employer shall maintain the two (2) seniority lists set forth above and shall update each list at the beginning of each racing year (season). Prior to the first race day of each

year, each Employee who is entitled to make such a selection shall designate in writing whether such Employee will be a full time Employee, a full time extra Employee or a part time Employee and such Employees shall continue in such designated category and in the position held by them at the beginning of such race year unless his/her category and position is otherwise changed as provided in this Agreement. All selections become final after 30 days from the date selection card was signed.

6.4(A) In order to maintain status as a full time Employee, each such Employee must work each year a number of days equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the total days scheduled for live racing programs at the PNGI Xxxxxxx Town Gaming Limited Liability Company, and may not miss or be absent more than five (5) Saturdays or five (5) Sundays during any one calendar year; provided, however, that any Employee who has maintained continuous employment at the PNGI Xxxxxxx Town Gaming Limited Liability Company, or its predecessor, Xxxxxxx Town Races, Inc., since January 1, 1979, shall not be penalized hereunder if such Employee misses five (5) or more Sundays, except for those Employees that commit to work on Sundays and so indicate on their selection cards. If a full time Employee is designated as a full time extra, each year such person must report to the track each race day at the specified reporting time at least a number of days equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the live racing program in order to maintain status as a full time extra Employee. Death in the family, documented accidental injury or illness to Union employees or an immediate family member will not count toward Saturday and Sunday absences.

6.4(B) In order to maintain status as a part time Employee, each such Employee must report for work each Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holiday program, or each Saturday, Sunday and holiday program (as specified by the Employee on their availability card) at the PNGI Xxxxxxx Town Gaming Limited Liability Company. Any part time Employee who fails to work each such specified day and such absence is not excused by the Employer, shall not earn or accrue seniority for the year in which such absences occur. If any Employee, whether regular or part time, reports to work, and has not been notified not to report for work as specified in Paragraph 3.4 of

Article 3, such Employee shall be considered, for the purpose of seniority, to have worked that day. Full time employees and part time Employees shall receive premium pay (time and one-half) for all hours worked on Sundays, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. To be eligible for premium pay on Sundays, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day, an employee must work his/her regular scheduled working day before the Sunday, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day and his/her regular scheduled working day after if it is the day after Sunday, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. If a holiday falls on Sunday, premium pay will be paid on the Monday on which that holiday is celebrated; however there shall be no stacking of premium pay. Excused absences will count, for purposes of this paragraph, as if that day was a work day. The Employer shall not unreasonably refuse to grant an excused absence.

6.5 An Employee shall lose all his accrued seniority in the event such Employee:

(A) Voluntarily quits or is discharged for cause.

(B) Fails, after a lay-off or the commencement of any racing meet, to report for work for two (2) consecutive racing days after being notified to do so, unless such Employee notifies the Employer, in advance of such reporting date, that such Employee intends to be absent and presents an acceptable reason for such absence.

(D) An Employee shall earn no seniority in any year in which he fails to work a number of days equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the total days scheduled for live racing programs, as provided, in Paragraph 6.4(A) of this Article.

This requirement is based on racing programs being conducted on Sundays, holidays and one weekday each week during daytime hours and all other days during night-time hours. If racing programs are conducted on more than one weekday (except holidays) in any week during daytime hours, then the 75% rule shall not apply to any such weekday daytime programs in excess of one in any one week.

6.6 Permanent Vacancies - Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a vacancy occurs in a regular permanent job, the Employer in its sole discretion shall determine if such a vacancy shall be filled. In filling such vacancy, the Employer shall comply with the provisions of Subsection 6.1 of this Article and shall select the eligible and qualified Employee from within the department where the new job or permanent vacancy occurs on the basis of track seniority. If such position or vacancy is not filled from within the department in which it occurred, it may be filled by an eligible and qualified Employee from other departments on the basis of track seniority. The senior eligible Employee bidding on such job, if qualified, shall be given a trial period on such new job of one (1) to five (5) days as management sees fit. In the event management does not deem such Employee properly qualified to perform such job, then after a trial period ranging in management’s discretion from one (1) to five (5) days, management shall have the sole discretion to return such Employee back to his former job, in which event, the next senior qualified eligible Employee who shall bid for such job shall be given a like trial. When an Employee is transferred to another job, classification or department as a result of job bidding, such transfer shall be permanent. The Employer shall have the right to remove an Employee from any Department because of lack of work, but must honor reverse seniority when doing so. Such Employees so removed may bid for another job for which such Employee is eligible and qualified at the track on the basis of track seniority.

6.7 Temporary Transfers - The filling of all temporary vacancies shall be in accordance with the seniority provisions of this contract, if such temporary vacancy does not continue for more than fifteen (15) working days. If such continues for more than fifteen (15) working days, Employees shall bid on that job on a temporary basis in the same manner set forth in the Subsection 6.6 of this Article VI for bidding on permanent vacancies. Upon the return of the absent Employee, the Employee who bid on that temporary vacancy shall return to his or her former position and the returning Employees shall fill his or her regular position. An Employee who is transferred from his or her regular job to fill a temporary vacancy not lasting more than fifteen (15) days, shall be paid his or her regular rate, unless the job to which he or she is

transferred pays a higher rate, in which case the higher rate shall be paid. Any full time extra Employee who fills a temporary vacancy shall be paid the rate for such vacant position. If an Employee bids on a temporary vacancy after the said fifteen (15) day period, such Employee shall be paid the rate for such vacancy while he or she is temporarily filling that position. Upon that Employee’s return to his or her regular job, he or she shall be paid the regular rate for his or her regular job.

6.8 Lay-Off - It is agreed that while the determination whether or not there should be lay-offs is the sole prerogative of the Employer, should a reduction in force be necessary, lay-offs will take place in the reverse order by track seniority applied within the department affected. In the event that rehiring takes place, the Employees shall be recalled to work in accordance to their track seniority within the department affected.

ARTICLE 7 - LEAVE OF ABSENCE

7.1 An Employee shall not be granted a leave of absence without prior consent of the Employer, which consent shall not be arbitrarily withheld. Such leave of absence granted the Employee shall not cause him to lose any prior seniority rights. Leaves of absences will be approved by a Committee consisting of the Mutuel Manager, a Management designee selected by the Mutuel Manager, two (2) members selected by the Union and the General Manager who will vote only in the event of ties.

7.2 The Employer shall notify the Union of all requests for leaves of absence and shall give the Union a reasonable opportunity to make any comments in regard to such request as it desires prior to the effective date of such leave. However, the Employer’s decision on such request shall be final.

7.3 All requests for a leave of absence shall be first considered under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Employees may receive for their own serious health condition, as defined under the Family Medical Leave Act, up to a total of four (4) months of unpaid leave, which includes twelve (12) weeks of Federal Family Medical Leave. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 7, no leave of absence shall be granted to any Employee for the purpose of accepting full time employment elsewhere.

7.4 An Employee’s seniority status and date shall not be affected by absence from work on account of:

(A) Family Medical Leave of up to four (4) months.

(B) Injury covered by State Workers’ Compensation Law.

(C) Time spent on approved leave of absence for service in the Armed Forces of the United States, provided the Employee returns to Employer’s service within the time frame provided under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994.

(D) Service as a regularly impaneled member of a State or Federal Jury.

(E) Layoff, provided he is reemployed by Employer within a period of one month after being recalled following such layoff.

(F) A regularly approved leave for reasons other than sickness, occupational injury, jury duty or military service, provided such personal leave of absence does not exceed one month in length.

(G) A regularly approved leave for full time employment as an officer or agent of Union, provided such leave does not exceed one month in length.

Employees granted leave of absence for any of the foregoing reasons will not accrue further seniority during the term of the leave of absence. In the event of a dispute, the decision of the Leave of Absence Committee will be final.

ARTICLE 8 – DISCHARGE

8.1 No employee shall be discharged or displaced except for just cause.

8.2 Within two (2) working days or seventy-two (72) hours, whichever is shorter of any discharge, the Employer shall notify, in writing, the Union and the Employee affected as to the reason for such discharge. In the event the Union disputes such discharge, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Article 9 herein. The arbitrator shall have the authority to make the final determination of such dispute and in the event he finds such discharge to have been improper, he may order reinstatement or such other remedies as he deems appropriate, including awarding back pay and benefits. The Employer agrees that it will cooperate with the Union to expedite the submission of any disputed discharges to an arbitrator

and, if the arbitrator agrees, upon the Union’s request, to accept an oral ruling from the arbitrator at the conclusion of the hearing.

8.3 It is agreed that discharge for dishonesty, pilferage, bellringing or discharge of an Employee for leaving his or her post or work place and engaging in physical and/or oral confrontation with any member of the public, including friends, spouses, relatives or another Employee of the Employer shall not be subject to the grievance procedure provided herein.

Employees discharged or disciplined for use of alcohol or drugs or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while on duty or for dishonesty, pilferage or bellringing, shall be entitled to arbitrate only the question of their guilt or innocence. If found guilty, the arbitrator must confirm the remedy imposed by the Employer.

8.4 It is agreed that any Employee who shall be denied bonding coverage by the Employer’s bonding company or whose bond shall be revoked for any reason, shall be dismissed. Such discharge shall not be subject to the grievance procedure and shall be final. If, subsequent to such refusal to bond or revocation of bond, the bonding company shall agree to bond such Employee or to cancel such revocation and reinstate said bond, such Employee shall be entitled to be reemployed in accordance with his or her seniority as of his or her termination date, but without back pay or benefits and such person shall lose his or her seniority for such period when the bond was denied or revoked.

8.5 The Employer recognizes the principles of progressive discipline. The employer agrees to delete written reprimand letters from an employee’s file one year after the date of the reprimand letter.

ARTICLE 9 - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

9.1 In the event that any dispute or controversy shall arise during the life of this Agreement as to the interpretation or application of this Agreement or any part thereof, it shall be handled in the following manner:

STEP 1. The aggrieved Employee or any authorized representative of the Union shall first discuss the grievance with the company supervisor or representative within ten (10) calendar days of the event resulting in a dispute or controversy.

STEP 2. In the event the grievance is not resolved at that level, then a representative of the Union shall meet with an officer or duly designated representative of the Employer within ten (10) calendar days of such first meeting and a written decision is to be rendered by management within ten (10) days of the Step 2 meeting.

STEP 3. If no satisfactory settlement is reached within ten (10) calendar days of the meeting in Step 2, then either party may submit the grievance to arbitration. Any grievance not carried to the next step of the grievance procedure within the prescribed time limits shall be automatically waived and considered resolved upon the basis of management’s last response. The time limits as set forth above may be extended by the mutual agreement of the parties in writing. Any dispute arising under this Agreement may be submitted to arbitration, provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have no authority to alter the terms of this Agreement. In the event a grievance is submitted to arbitration, the arbitrator will be selected from a list supplied from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and the arbitration shall be conducted under the rules and regulations of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service then in effect. The costs of any such arbitration shall be borne equally between the Union and the Employer.

ARTICLE 10 - MILITARY SERVICE

With respect to the reemployment of Employees who have been or shall be inducted into the Armed Forces of the United States, the Employer shall comply with its obligation as provided in the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994.

ARTICLE 11 - SHORTAGES AND OVERAGES

11.1 Each Employee shall be financially responsible for his or her shortages and the liability therefor shall be determined by the Employer. All shortages shall be paid at reporting time the following day, unless otherwise provided by the Employer. Failure to pay such shortages shall result in the suspension of the Employee.

11.2 The Employer shall maintain an accounting of all overages and shortages for each Employee affected and such accounting shall be made available for inspection by each Employee affected at all reasonable times. Employees shall be credited with the total amount of overage in their respective accounts on the last day of each meet up to the total amount of shortages which they may incur on that day.

11.3 If it appears to the Employer’s satisfaction that a tote machine malfunction caused an Employee shortage, the Employee shall not be responsible for the shortage.

11.4 Employees will be permitted to continue to use a self audit procedure during their work shifts so long as the use of that function does not become “excessive” and diminish work time. The negotiated definition of “excessive” by the parties was that access by an employee of that function any more than five (5) times per shift would result in a progressive disciplinary action being taken against an employee.

ARTICLE 12 – EXCLUSIONS

12.1 The Employer and the Union agree that Employees not covered by this Agreement can continue to perform the normal work that they performed heretofore, some of which may be work which is also performed by members of this unit, provided, however, that the Employer

shall not use excluded Employees to do regular journeyman work so as to replace or displace the regular Employees within the bargaining unit.

12.2 The Employer agrees that if a regular job is open and available at the beginning of the program prior to the first race and Management wishes that job to be performed during that program, then an additional Employee shall be assigned. If a job should become open after the first race begins and no Union Employee is available, or in the event of an emergency, then excluded Employees, including supervisors, may perform that work.

ARTICLE 13 - NO STRIKE OR LOCKOUT

13.1 During the term of this Agreement, the Union agrees on behalf of itself and each of its members that there shall be no authorized strike of any kind and there shall be no boycott, picketing, work stoppage, slowdown or any other type of organized interference, coercive or otherwise with the Employer’s business or with third parties having business with the Employer.

13.2 In the event any violation of the previous paragraph occurs which is unauthorized by the Union, the Employer agrees that there shall be no liability on the part of the International or Local Union or any of their officers or agents, provided that in the event of such unauthorized action the Union first meets the following conditions:

(a) The Union shall declare publicly that such action is unauthorized by the Union, if requested to do so by the Employer.

(b) The Union shall promptly order its members to return to work, notwithstanding the existence of a picket line, if requested to do so by the Employer.

(c) The Union shall not question the unqualified right of the Employer to discipline or discharge Employees engaging in, participating in, or encouraging such action, unless the action by the Employer is unlawful or discriminatory. It is understood that such action on the part of the Employer shall be final and binding upon the Union and its members, and shall in no case be construed as a violation by the Employer of any provision of this Agreement,

unless the action by the Employer is discriminatory. However, an issue of fact as to whether or not any particular Employee has engaged in, participated in, or encouraged any such violation may be subject to arbitration.

13.3 There shall be no lockout by the Employer.

13.4 It shall be a violation of this Agreement and grounds for discharge or discipline, for any Employee, or for the Employees collectively, to refuse to go through a picket line of another union established at the premises of the Employer whose Employees are on strike.

13.5 In the event that a strike or lockout in violation of the foregoing provisions of this section shall occur, the nonbreaching party shall have the option of rescinding this Agreement after such breach has continued for more than fifteen (15) days, unless the dispute is settled and the strike or lockout ends before such option is exercised. Written notice of intent to exercise such option shall be given at least five (5) days before it is exercised.

Exercise of the option to rescind this Agreement shall not affect the right of the rescinding party to bring an action for damages for the breach committed by the other, and shall not affect Employer’s right to discipline, as provided herein, any Employee taking part in a prohibited strike.

The failure of Employer or Union to exercise the privilege hereinabove granted to rescind this Agreement in event of a breach thereof by the other party, shall not constitute a waiver on its part of its right to exercise such option should a subsequent strike or stoppage of production or lockout occur.

ARTICLE 14 – NOTICE

Whenever notice is required to be given hereunder, it shall be given to the parties hereto at their respective address by registered or certified mail, and in the event that notice is required to be given to any Employee, it shall be given by registered or certified mail, addressed to such Employee at his or her last known address appearing on the payroll records of Employer.
