matters which could detract therefrom, and/or if Crystal’s business and/or
nature reasonably changes from that in existence as of the date of this
Agreement.
(b) Crystal
shall have no right to license, sub-license, lease or assign any of its rights
hereunder, nor shall the same be assignable by operation of law, without the
prior written consent of Disney, which consent Disney may grant or withhold in
its sole and absolute discretion. If the ability to control Crystal shall pass
from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, either voluntarily or by operation of law, to any other
person, firm or corporation (other than, in the event of the death of Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx, to his executor or administrator and then to his heirs), such transfer
shall be deemed an assignment of this Agreement requiring the prior written
approval of Disney.

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Disney’s successors
and assigns, and Disney shall have the right to pledge, hypothecate, create a
security interest in, assign and/or otherwise transfer any or all of its rights

of title (or possession, if title is not taken) in the condemning authority.

taking.

Any
failure by either Party to insist upon or enforce performance by the other Party
of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies
under this Agreement or otherwise by law shall not be construed as a waiver or

remedy shall be and remain in full force and effect.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR
MANUFACTURERS
At The
Xxxx Disney Company, we are committed to:
a
standard of excellence in every aspect of our business and in every xxxxx of the
world;
ethical
and responsible conduct in all of our operations;
respect
for the rights of all individuals; and
respect
for the environment.
We expect
these same commitments to be shared by all manufacturers of Disney merchandise.
At a minimum, we
require that all manufacturers of Disney merchandise meet the following
standards:
Child Labor |
Manufacturers will
not use child labor.
The
term “child” refers to a person younger than 15 (or 14 where local law
allows) or, if higher, the local legal minimum age for employment or the
age for completing compulsory education.
Manufacturers
employing young persons who do not fall within the definition of
“children” will also comply with any laws and regulations applicable to
such persons.
|
Involuntary Labor | Manufacturers will not use any forced or involuntary labor, whether prison, bonded, indentured or otherwise. |
Coercion and Harassment | Manufacturers will treat each employee with dignity and respect, and will not use corporal punishment, threats of violence or other forms of physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse. |
Nondiscrimination | Manufacturers will not discriminate in hiring and employment practices, including salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on the basis of race, religion, age, nationality, social or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, political opinion or disability. |
Association | Manufacturers will respect the rights of employees to associate, organize and bargain collectively in a lawful and peaceful manner, without penalty or interference. |
Health and Safety | Manufacturers will provide employees with a safe and healthy workplace in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, ensuring at a minimum reasonable access to potable water and sanitary facilities; fire safety; and adequate lighting and ventilation. Manufacturers will also ensure that the same standards of health and safety are applied in any housing that they provide for employees. |
Compensation |
We
expect manufacturers to recognize that wages are essential to meeting
employees’ basic needs. Manufacturers will, at a minimum, comply with all
applicable wage and hour laws and regulations, including those relating to
minimum wages, overtime, maximum hours, piece rates and other elements of
compensation, and provide legally mandated benefits. Except in
extraordinary business circumstances, manufacturers will not require
employees to work more than the lesser of (a) 48 hours per week and 12
hours overtime or (b) the limits on regular and overtime hours allowed by
local law or, where local law does not limit the hours of work, the
regular work week plus 12 hours overtime. In addition, except in
extraordinary business circumstances, employees will be entitled to at
least one day off in every seven-day period.
Manufacturers
will compensate employees for overtime hours at such premium rate as is
legally required or, if there is no legally prescribed premium rate, at a
rate at least equal to the regular hourly compensation rate.
Where
local industry standards are higher than applicable legal requirements, we
expect manufacturers to meet the higher
standards.

21
Protection of the Environment | Manufacturers will comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. |
Other Laws | Manufacturers will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those pertaining to the manufacture, pricing, sale and distribution of merchandise.
