IM i FTS FROM SANDS' LEGAL CODICIL: !*Ttte deal goes beyond tiUvtiion film, in fact it centra llbi, playa, radio, television, itoritf, articles, books or othar productions. If tha deal is made it should bit limited to fibs made only for television broadcast. ?╟úTha grant should not be exclusive. Neither you nor the Sands are getting any payment for this deal, the benefit to you being exploitation for the hotel* This is not the first time you've gotten exploitation for the hotel nor, 1 hope, will it be the last* Feature motion pictures have been made with the Sands as the locale thereof and there have been television shows emanating from tha Sand?½, which shows gave it extensive exploitation* If you sign this deal in ita present for?½, you are restricted fro?½ giving this right to any ether television producer. In ay opinion, this would be ridiculous under any circumstances * It Is particularly ridiculoua in this Instance as all that Warner Brother?½ have done is produced a pilot. They make no undertaking that they will produce a series or that the series will ever be sold and there is so time limitation on the rights granted. ?╜Anf grant given by you should be limited to a particular period of time hiring which Warner Brothers will undertake to produce a series of thirty-nine films* If they do not produce this within a period of, let us say, one year, tha contract should terminate* ?╟≤?╟≤tou have requested script approval concerning anything in* valving yourself or the Sands Hotel* They have given you a very limited right of approval, namely a right of approval insofar as "questions of established Sands Hotel policies end accepted good taste are concerned?╟Ñ. m% view the whole deal in a very dim light. If Warner Brothers without compensation to you or tha Sands, want to use you as a character and tha Sands as a locale, this should bo all right, provided all such matters are approved by you on behalf of both yourself and the Sands, that the deal be non-exclusive, fhp?? it be Hunted to film for television broadcast only, mud that if they do not make a series of at least thirty-nine films within a period of one year, that tit# whole deal terminates.'*
