TENTATIVE AGREEMENT

LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING NO. 12

SUBJECT: MEANING OF SECTION 19.3 OF COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENT

The Union and the Company have agreed in Section 19.3 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement that any dismissal or suspension of an employee who has committed a sex crime victimizing a child or children shall be deemed to be for cause and shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure of Article 19. This Agreement is based on both parties' recognition of (1) the growing awareness and abhorrence in our society of crimes victimizing children, and (2) the deleterious effect the presence in the work force of perpetrators of such crimes would have on the efficiency and morale of employees of the Company and on the reputation of the Company and its products.

The Union and the Company further agree as follows:

1. For purposes of Section 19.3 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and this Letter of Understanding, the term "sex crime victimizing a child or children" includes rape, sexual assault, statutory rape, incest, child molestation, child pornography, public indecency, indecent exposure, indecent liberties, communications with a minor for immoral purposes, promoting prostitution, and similar crimes as defined in the jurisdiction in which the offense is committed, where the victim of said crime(s) is under the age of 18 years at the time of the commission of the crime(s). An employee shall be considered to have committed such a crime if the employee is convicted of the crime, or if the employee enters a special supervision program pursuant to a deferred prosecution arrangement relating to the crime.

2. The provision of Section 19.3 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement referred to herein and this Letter of Understanding shall not be deemed to define "cause" or to affect Article 19 in any other respect whatsoever, and shall not be introduced or relied upon in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties which does not deal with the suspension or dismissal of an employee who has committed a sex crime victimizing a child or children.
