There is nothing in that agreement that would generate extra premium.

I do not know who the Force sisters are. Courtney and Brittany Force are professional drag racers. Both compete in the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) Top Fuel categories which is the highest level of competition in the U.S., perhaps the world, for this sport. Courtney is a Top Fuel Funny Car competitior/race winner and Brittany is a Top Fuel Dragster competitor. They are the daughters of John Force, who is a 15 time series champion and has the most wins/championships in the history of the sport. Attached are their NHRA licenses. Will Courtney & Brittany Force be employees (paid through our payroll services company) or participants? Courtney & Brittany Force would be participants. 1

11 T Will QL s car have a cage? No. We will be using a stock, street legal Ford Mustang. It is not a drag car. The professional driver will be in a drag car. Will there be more than one car on the track at one time? They are not racing against each other. Each will take a turn on the track and then we will see who has the fastest time in comparison to the other. Are the lanes separated by a barrier? We are not sure about the lane question. We will find out. Hope this helps Thanks, Louise Allen Risk Management T: (519) Drag Racing Queen Latifah participating o Field piece to be shot o Venue Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, CA o QL will be driving a street licensed Ford Mustang o Will have a Supervisor from the School, a Stunt Driving Coordinator and a Coach o This is a Xmas Tree Light start o Funny car race straight down the track can reach speeds up to 100 MPH o Participants will include at least one of the Force sisters, Britianey, Ashley or Courtney o Wearing fire retardant clothing helmet I do not know who the Force sisters are.

After reviewing, they came back with a few questions which probably can t be addressed fully until the Stunt Coordinator is on payroll. In addition, I recommend that we purchase Participant s Coverage including Accidental Death & Dismemberment and Accident Medical Expense (only for participants, not employees on payroll). I recognize they are signing full releases but paying additional premium to cover these folks not only shows good will but will also be a lot less expensive than a potential law suit. Suggest purchasing a blanket policy that we would declare to each time one of these segments comes up. Generally the limit is $250K per person but premium is based on the event so I can t give you an indication of cost until we have more details. May also want to consider Disability coverage. For this group of activities, would certainly be recommended for Skydiving and Fire Walking if participant is other than the trained professional or Queen Latifah. Skydiving with a guest who is fearful of heights (Queen Latifah not participating) o Field piece to be shot 11 8 th or 9 th o Facility Skydive Elsinore o 30 minute training session prior to jump o Tandem jump with certified jumper o Also speaking with Misty Blues an experienced jumping team ( if certified to do so, may be the experienced jumper for tandem still working this piece out o May hire videographer vs using our people o Participant to sign release with us and skydiving venue Firewalking with guest as participant. (Queen Latifah considering participation) o Taryn Davis bringing back our participant from Flying Trykes, who is a Professional fire walking instructor. o Activity to take place somewhere here on the lot November 14th o Taryn has submitted her Fire Site Checklist as well as notifying production they must use her Fire Tender who amongst other things, will watch over the area once it s been prepped 1
