The final requirement is related to time. In our industry, as in yours, timing is everything.

The sole reason we can provide the benefits we have described in this invitation, which farexceed any scheduling fees for underwriters, is because of the economies of scale thataccrue when the schedules are met. Each project is typically completed within a 90-120

day production cycle. Therefore, all scripts, scheduling, videotaping, and postproduction

must occur within that time frame (although your time input is minimal). This means all par-ticipants must give written confirmation to accept this invitation within 7 days from the date

of original contact with our Associate Producer and adhere to the production schedule

rinted in this booklet.
