Producer undertakes, with the consent of the Actor, to withhold from the Actor's salary a sum
sufficient to correct the Actor's delinquency.

provided that Producer gives the Actor two weeks advance notice and that the Actor is
entitled to take all of Actor's accrued vacation days. If the Actor requests to take Actor's
vacation at Actor's convenience and the Producer agrees, vacation may be taken in days.
