EXHIBIT B

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL & TRAVEL NOTICE PROTOCOL

Exhibit B to the Stipulated Custody & Parenting Plan Agreement

Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Case No. 22STFL09847

January 31, 2024

PARTIES:

Marguerite Delphine Fonseca ("Mother"), an individual residing at 1742 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Unit 3A, Studio City, California 91604.

Rafael Joaquín Medrano ("Father"), an individual residing at 609 Moorpark Street, Apt. 12, North Hollywood, California 91602.

MINOR CHILDREN:

Isabela Luz Fonseca-Medrano, born February 11, 2017 (age 6 at the time of execution).

Mateo Elías Fonseca-Medrano, born August 29, 2019 (age 4 at the time of execution).

This Exhibit B is attached to, and forms an integral part of, the Stipulated Custody & Parenting Plan Agreement dated January 31, 2024 (the "Agreement"), entered into between Marguerite Delphine Fonseca and Rafael Joaquín Medrano in connection with Case No. 22STFL09847, pending in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Department 3. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

RECITALS

A. The parties are former registered domestic partners, having registered their domestic partnership with the California Secretary of State on September 12, 2015, under File No. DP-2015-038741. A judgment of dissolution of the domestic partnership was entered on November 3, 2022, by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, in Case No. 22STFL09847.

B. Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties share joint legal custody and joint physical custody of the minor children, Isabela Luz Fonseca-Medrano and Mateo Elías Fonseca-Medrano. The children's primary physical residence is with Mother, with Father exercising custodial time as set forth in the Agreement and in Exhibit A (Holiday & Vacation Schedule) attached thereto. The custody arrangement was developed with the input and recommendation of the children's therapist and has been reviewed by Minor's Counsel.

C. Both parties are professionals employed in the entertainment industry. Mother currently serves as Senior Vice President, Original Content Development at Luminos Entertainment Group, Inc., a position that may periodically require domestic and international travel for the purposes of production oversight, industry events, and related professional obligations. Father is a freelance cinematographer and director of photography who operates through Medrano Visuals, LLC, a California limited liability company, and who regularly accepts on-location production work for feature films, episodic television, commercials, and other media, which frequently requires extended travel away from the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. The parties acknowledge that the nature of their respective professional obligations in the entertainment industry may, from time to time, affect their availability during scheduled custodial time.

D. The parties desire to establish clear, comprehensive, and enforceable protocols governing (i) the right of first refusal for childcare during each parent's custodial time, (ii) travel notice requirements for both domestic and international travel with the minor children, and (iii) the transfer of custodial time when a parent's work-related travel exceeds specified thresholds, all in the best interests of the minor children and consistent with the overarching principles set forth in the Agreement.

E. This Exhibit B has been reviewed and approved by Minor's Counsel, Tessa L. Brannigan, Esq. (California State Bar No. 267894), appointed by the Court on June 22, 2023, pursuant to California Family Code Section 3150, for the purpose of representing the interests of the minor children in these proceedings. Minor's Counsel has confirmed that the provisions set forth herein are consistent with the best interests of Isabela Luz Fonseca-Medrano and Mateo Elías Fonseca-Medrano.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I — DEFINITIONS

Section 1.1 — "Custodial Parent." "Custodial Parent" means the parent exercising physical custody of the minor children during his or her scheduled custodial time as set forth in the Agreement and in Exhibit A (Holiday & Vacation Schedule). For the avoidance of doubt, the designation of a parent as the "Custodial Parent" at any given time is determined solely by reference to the custodial schedule established in the Agreement and Exhibit A, and not by the location of the children at any particular moment.

Section 1.2 — "Non-Custodial Parent." "Non-Custodial Parent" means the parent who is not exercising physical custody of the minor children during the relevant period, as determined by reference to the custodial schedule set forth in the Agreement and Exhibit A (Holiday & Vacation Schedule).

Section 1.3 — "Right of First Refusal" or "ROFR." "Right of First Refusal" or "ROFR" means the right of the Non-Custodial Parent to care for the minor children in lieu of a third-party caretaker when the Custodial Parent is unavailable to personally care for the children for a period exceeding the ROFR Threshold, as more fully set forth in Article II of this Exhibit B.

Section 1.4 — "ROFR Threshold." "ROFR Threshold" means a period of eight (8) consecutive hours of unavailability by the Custodial Parent, calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 below.

Section 1.5 — "Written Notice." "Written Notice" means any communication delivered in writing by one party to the other by email, text message (SMS or Westmark Software), or other written electronic medium, sent to the contact information set forth in Section 7.1 of this Exhibit B. Written Notice shall be deemed received upon delivery confirmation, including but not limited to a delivery receipt, read receipt, or confirmation that the message was successfully transmitted to the recipient's device. In the event of a dispute regarding whether Written Notice was timely provided, the burden of proof shall rest with the party claiming to have provided such notice.

Section 1.6 — "Continental United States." "Continental United States" means the forty-eight (48) contiguous states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, and expressly excludes the State of Alaska, the State of Hawaii, and all territories and possessions of the United States, including but not limited to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Section 1.7 — "Domestic Travel." "Domestic Travel" means travel with one or both of the minor children to any destination within the Continental United States but outside the State of California. For the avoidance of doubt, travel within the State of California is not Domestic Travel and is not subject to the notice requirements of Article III, except to the extent such travel constitutes On-Location Work governed by Article V.

Section 1.8 — "International Travel." "International Travel" means travel with one or both of the minor children to any destination outside the Continental United States, including but not limited to Canada, Mexico, and all other foreign countries, as well as the State of Alaska, the State of Hawaii, and all territories and possessions of the United States as enumerated in Section 1.6 above.

Section 1.9 — "On-Location Work." "On-Location Work" means work-related travel by either parent that requires the parent to be away from his or her residence in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area for purposes of employment, engagement, or professional obligation in the entertainment industry or otherwise. For the purposes of this Exhibit B, the "greater Los Angeles metropolitan area" shall be defined as the geographic area within a sixty (60) mile radius of the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, Los Angeles, California 90028.

Section 1.10 — "Parenting Plan Coordinator." "Parenting Plan Coordinator" means Dr. Marcus W. Ingalls, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (California License No. LMFT 89412), of Ingalls & Cuevas Family Counseling, located at 10880 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 630, Los Angeles, California 90024, or such successor coordinator as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing or as the Court may appoint upon application by either party. In the event Dr. Ingalls is unable or unwilling to serve as Parenting Plan Coordinator, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to select a qualified replacement within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving notice of his unavailability. If the parties are unable to agree upon a replacement, either party may petition the Court for the appointment of a successor.

ARTICLE II — RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Section 2.1 — General ROFR Obligation. If the Custodial Parent will be unavailable to personally care for the minor children for a period exceeding eight (8) consecutive hours during his or her custodial time, the Custodial Parent shall first offer the Non-Custodial Parent the opportunity to care for the children during the anticipated period of unavailability before engaging any third-party caretaker, including but not limited to babysitters, nannies, au pairs, and childcare facilities. For the purposes of calculating the ROFR Threshold, the following periods of time shall be excluded and shall not count toward the eight (8) consecutive hours:

(a) The children's regular school hours or program hours at Ridgeview Academy, located at 4515 Sepulveda Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, California 91403, or any successor school or educational program in which the children are enrolled with the mutual consent of both parents;

(b) Overnight sleeping hours between 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time, during which the children are sleeping at the Custodial Parent's residence under the supervision of a responsible adult previously known to both parents; and

(c) Time during which the children are participating in scheduled extracurricular activities that have been approved by both parents in accordance with the joint legal custody provisions of the Agreement.

The ROFR obligation is intended to maximize each child's time with his or her parents and to ensure that, whenever practicable, the Non-Custodial Parent is given the opportunity to provide care before alternative arrangements are made. Both parties acknowledge that the ROFR obligation is mutual and applies equally to Mother and Father during their respective custodial periods.

Section 2.2 — Notice Requirement for ROFR. The Custodial Parent shall provide Written Notice to the Non-Custodial Parent of the anticipated period of unavailability as soon as practicable after the Custodial Parent becomes aware of the need to be absent, and in any event no later than twenty-four (24) hours before the anticipated start of the unavailability period. In the event the need for the Custodial Parent's absence arises under emergency circumstances, the Custodial Parent shall provide Written Notice as soon as reasonably practicable, recognizing that strict compliance with the twenty-four (24) hour notice period may not be feasible.

The ROFR notice shall include the following information:

(a) The anticipated start date and time of the Custodial Parent's unavailability;

(b) The anticipated end date and time of the Custodial Parent's unavailability;

(c) The general reason for the unavailability, such as a work commitment, personal appointment, social engagement, or travel (the Custodial Parent need not provide detailed or private information regarding the nature of the appointment or engagement, but shall provide sufficient context to allow the Non-Custodial Parent to make an informed decision); and

(d) The proposed location for the children and the identity of the proposed third-party caretaker during the period if the ROFR is declined by the Non-Custodial Parent.

Section 2.3 — Acceptance or Declination.

(a) Response Deadline. The Non-Custodial Parent shall respond to the ROFR notice within four (4) hours of receipt, or such shorter period as is reasonable given the circumstances, including but not limited to situations in which the Custodial Parent's departure is imminent. A failure to respond within the applicable timeframe shall be deemed a declination of the ROFR.

(b) Acceptance and Exchange. If the Non-Custodial Parent accepts the ROFR, the Custodial Parent shall make the children available for transfer at a mutually agreed time and location. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the exchange shall presumptively occur at the children's primary residence (Mother's residence at 1742 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Unit 3A, Studio City, California 91604) or at Father's residence (609 Moorpark Street, Apt. 12, North Hollywood, California 91602), whichever is the residence of the Custodial Parent at the relevant time. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate a smooth and timely exchange.

(c) Declination or Non-Response. If the Non-Custodial Parent expressly declines the ROFR or fails to respond within the required timeframe, the Custodial Parent may arrange for third-party childcare at his or her discretion, subject to the joint legal custody provisions of the Agreement regarding the selection of regular childcare providers.

(d) Effect on Custodial Schedule. Acceptance of the ROFR shall not alter the custodial schedule or overnight count under the Agreement. ROFR time is not counted as additional custodial time for purposes of timeshare calculations, child support modification under California Family Code Section 4055 et seq., or any other purpose. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the exercise of ROFR time is a convenience measure intended to benefit the children and does not constitute a modification of the custodial arrangement.

Section 2.4 — Exceptions to ROFR. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply in the following circumstances:

(a) Family Care. The children are in the care of a grandparent, step-grandparent, aunt, uncle, or other immediate family member of the Custodial Parent who has an established relationship with the children. For the purposes of this exception, "immediate family member" includes the Custodial Parent's parents, siblings, and their respective spouses or domestic partners.

(b) Scheduled Activities. The children are attending a scheduled extracurricular activity, school event, school field trip, or medical appointment, including but not limited to regularly scheduled activities at Ridgeview Academy, sports practices and games, music lessons, tutoring sessions, and therapy appointments with Dr. Ingalls or other providers agreed upon by the parties.

(c) Bona Fide Emergencies. The period of unavailability is due to a bona fide emergency, including but not limited to a medical emergency affecting the Custodial Parent, an emergency at the Custodial Parent's place of employment, a natural disaster, or other circumstances beyond the Custodial Parent's reasonable control. In such cases, the Custodial Parent shall provide Written Notice to the Non-Custodial Parent as soon as reasonably practicable after the emergency arises, and shall offer the ROFR at that time if the anticipated period of unavailability exceeds the ROFR Threshold.

(d) Pre-Arranged Social Engagements. The children are attending a pre-arranged playdate, birthday party, or other social engagement of which the Non-Custodial Parent has been previously informed in writing or through the parties' shared parenting communication platform.

Section 2.5 — Transportation. The parent exercising care under the ROFR shall be responsible for transporting the children to and from the designated exchange point. The Custodial Parent shall not be required to transport the children to the Non-Custodial Parent's residence for purposes of a ROFR exchange, and the Non-Custodial Parent shall not be required to transport the children back to the Custodial Parent's residence at the conclusion of the ROFR period unless the exchange coincides with a regularly scheduled custodial exchange. Neither party shall be required to travel more than thirty (30) miles from his or her residence for a ROFR exchange. If the Non-Custodial Parent's location at the time of the ROFR request is more than thirty (30) miles from the Custodial Parent's residence, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to identify a mutually convenient exchange point, or the Non-Custodial Parent may decline the ROFR without prejudice.

ARTICLE III — DOMESTIC TRAVEL NOTICE PROTOCOL

Section 3.1 — Notice Requirement for Domestic Travel with Children. Neither parent shall travel with either or both of the minor children outside the State of California but within the Continental United States without providing the other parent with at least fourteen (14) calendar days' prior Written Notice. The fourteen (14) calendar day notice period shall be calculated from the date the Written Notice is deemed received pursuant to Section 1.5 to the date of the anticipated departure. Both parties acknowledge that adequate notice of Domestic Travel is essential to ensuring the children's safety and the Non-Custodial Parent's peace of mind, and each party agrees to comply with this requirement in good faith.

Section 3.2 — Content of Domestic Travel Notice. The Domestic Travel notice shall include the following information:

(a) The destination or destinations to which the children will be traveling, including the city, state, and specific address(es) if known at the time of the notice;

(b) The date and approximate time of departure and the date and approximate time of return;

(c) The mode or modes of transportation to be used, including airline name(s), flight number(s), and approximate driving route if traveling by automobile;

(d) The address or addresses where the children will be staying during the trip, including the name and telephone number of any hotel, resort, rental property, or private residence;

(e) Contact telephone number or numbers at which the traveling parent can be reached during the trip, including any temporary or location-specific numbers; and

(f) Any known or anticipated changes to the itinerary as they arise during the course of the trip, which shall be communicated to the Non-Custodial Parent in writing as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 3.3 — Consent Not Required for Domestic Travel. The written consent of the Non-Custodial Parent is not required for Domestic Travel during the traveling parent's custodial time; however, the notice requirement set forth in Section 3.1 must be fully satisfied prior to departure. The parties acknowledge that the right to travel domestically with the children during one's own custodial time is a fundamental aspect of the custodial arrangement, and neither party shall unreasonably interfere with the other parent's right to engage in Domestic Travel.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Non-Custodial Parent has specific and articulable concerns about a proposed Domestic Trip — including but not limited to concerns regarding the safety of the destination, the appropriateness of the travel arrangements, or the potential impact on the children's health or well-being — the Non-Custodial Parent may raise such concerns with the Parenting Plan Coordinator, Dr. Marcus W. Ingalls, LMFT (License No. LMFT 89412), Ingalls & Cuevas Family Counseling, 10880 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 630, Los Angeles, California 90024, for advisory guidance. The Parenting Plan Coordinator shall consider the concerns raised and may make non-binding recommendations to the parties regarding the proposed trip. The Parenting Plan Coordinator shall not have the authority to prohibit or restrict Domestic Travel absent a court order issued by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.

Section 3.4 — Emergency Domestic Travel. In the event of a bona fide emergency requiring Domestic Travel with the children — including but not limited to a family medical emergency, the serious illness or death of an immediate family member, or a natural disaster necessitating evacuation — the traveling parent shall provide Written Notice to the other parent as soon as reasonably practicable, and shall include all of the information set forth in Section 3.2 to the extent then known. The traveling parent shall supplement the notice with additional information as it becomes available. The fourteen (14) calendar day notice period set forth in Section 3.1 shall not apply in the case of a bona fide emergency, but the traveling parent shall make every reasonable effort to notify the other parent before departure.

ARTICLE IV — INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL NOTICE AND CONSENT PROTOCOL

Section 4.1 — Notice and Consent Requirement for International Travel. Neither parent shall take either or both of the minor children outside the Continental United States without (i) providing the other parent with at least thirty (30) calendar days' prior Written Notice, and (ii) obtaining the other parent's express written consent. The thirty (30) calendar day notice period shall be calculated from the date the Written Notice is deemed received pursuant to Section 1.5 to the date of the anticipated departure. Written consent may be provided by email, signed letter, or text message acknowledgment, and shall specifically identify the trip for which consent is being granted, including the destination, dates, and duration. Both parties acknowledge that International Travel with the minor children involves heightened considerations regarding safety, accessibility, and communication, and each party agrees to cooperate in good faith to facilitate international travel that is in the best interests of the children.

Section 4.2 — Content of International Travel Notice. The International Travel notice shall include the following information:

(a) The destination country or countries to which the children will be traveling, including the specific city or cities and the address(es) where the children will be staying;

(b) The dates of departure and return, including any anticipated layovers or intermediate stops;

(c) The mode or modes of transportation, including airline name(s), flight number(s), and carrier(s) if traveling by air, or other transportation details if traveling by other means;

(d) The address or addresses where the children will be staying during the trip, including the name and telephone number of any hotel, resort, rental property, or private residence, and the name and contact information of any adult who will be present at the destination and who may have supervisory responsibility for the children;

(e) Contact telephone number or numbers at which the traveling parent can be reached during the trip, including any international telephone numbers, satellite phone numbers, or other means of communication;

(f) A copy of the proposed itinerary, including planned activities, excursions, and any arrangements for childcare or supervision during the trip; and

(g) Evidence that appropriate travel documents for the children are current and valid, including copies of the children's United States passports (with expiration dates no earlier than six (6) months after the date of anticipated return), and copies of any required visas, entry permits, or other travel authorizations for the destination country or countries.

Section 4.3 — Withholding of Consent. Consent to International Travel shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed by the Non-Custodial Parent. The parties acknowledge that reasonable international travel can be enriching for the children and that both parents should support the children's exposure to diverse cultures and experiences when such travel can be undertaken safely and responsibly. Reasonable grounds for withholding consent may include, but are not limited to, genuine safety concerns regarding the destination, the existence of a travel advisory issued by the U.S. Department of State for the destination country, concerns regarding the traveling parent's ability to ensure the children's safety and well-being during the trip, or the potential for the traveling parent to fail to return the children to the jurisdiction.

If the Non-Custodial Parent objects to a proposed International Trip, the parties shall proceed as follows:

(a) Parenting Plan Coordinator. The parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute through the Parenting Plan Coordinator, Dr. Marcus W. Ingalls, LMFT, at Ingalls & Cuevas Family Counseling, 10880 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 630, Los Angeles, California 90024. The Parenting Plan Coordinator shall meet with the parties (jointly or separately, at his discretion), consider the concerns raised, and attempt to facilitate a resolution within ten (10) calendar days of the objection being communicated to the Parenting Plan Coordinator.

(b) Court Intervention. If the dispute cannot be resolved through the Parenting Plan Coordinator within ten (10) calendar days of the objection, either party may seek a court order from the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. 22STFL09847, permitting or prohibiting the proposed International Travel. The moving party shall file a Request for Order (Judicial Council Form FL-300) with a supporting declaration setting forth the relevant facts and circumstances. The parties acknowledge that the Court's primary consideration in ruling on any such request shall be the best interests of the minor children.

Section 4.4 — Passport Possession and Surrender. Each child's United States passport shall be held by Mother at her residence at 1742 Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Unit 3A, Studio City, California 91604, and shall be maintained in a secure location at all times. Mother shall ensure that each child's passport remains current and valid, and shall cooperate with Father in the timely renewal of the children's passports.

When the children are scheduled to travel internationally with Father, Mother shall surrender the children's passports to Father no later than five (5) calendar days before the scheduled date of departure. Father shall return the children's passports to Mother within three (3) calendar days after the children's return to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. During any period in which Father is in possession of the children's passports, Father shall maintain the passports in a secure location and shall not permit any third party to possess the passports except as necessary for purposes of airport security, customs, and immigration processing.

Neither parent shall apply for a new passport, replacement passport, or passport card for either child without the prior written consent of the other parent. In the event that a child's passport is lost, stolen, or damaged, the parent in whose possession the passport was at the time of the loss, theft, or damage shall immediately notify the other parent in writing and shall cooperate in obtaining a replacement passport as expeditiously as possible, with the cost of the replacement to be borne by the parent responsible for the loss, theft, or damage.

Section 4.5 — Emergency International Travel. In the event of a bona fide emergency requiring International Travel with the children — including but not limited to a medical emergency requiring treatment at a facility outside the Continental United States, or the serious illness or death of an immediate family member residing abroad — the traveling parent shall proceed as follows:

(a) The traveling parent shall provide Written Notice to the other parent as soon as reasonably practicable, including all of the information set forth in Section 4.2 to the extent then known;

(b) The traveling parent shall obtain the other parent's verbal consent by telephone or video call prior to departure, which verbal consent shall be confirmed by the consenting parent in writing (by email or text message) within twenty-four (24) hours of the verbal consent being given;

(c) If the other parent cannot be reached after reasonable efforts (including at least three (3) telephone calls and one (1) text message or email over a period of not less than two (2) hours), the traveling parent may proceed with the International Travel only if the emergency is medical in nature and the travel is necessary for the health or safety of one or both of the children; and

(d) In all cases of emergency International Travel, the traveling parent shall notify the other parent and Minor's Counsel (if still appointed) at the earliest opportunity, and shall provide updated information regarding the children's location, condition, and expected return date as it becomes available.

ARTICLE V — ON-LOCATION WORK TRANSFER PROVISION

Section 5.1 — Applicability. This Article V applies equally to both Mother and Father and addresses the automatic transfer of custodial time when either parent's On-Location Work requires travel away from the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area (as defined in Section 1.9) for more than fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days. The parties acknowledge that the nature of the entertainment industry frequently requires extended periods of on-location work, and that such absences are a foreseeable aspect of both parents' professional lives. The provisions of this Article V are intended to provide a clear, predictable framework for the transfer of custodial time during such absences, while preserving the traveling parent's relationship with the children through make-up time and regular communication.

Section 5.2 — Father's On-Location Work. If Father (Rafael Joaquín Medrano) accepts On-Location Work — including but not limited to feature film production, episodic television production, commercial production, documentary production, music video production, or any other production or professional engagement undertaken through Medrano Visuals, LLC or otherwise — that requires Father to be away from the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area for more than fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days, any custodial time scheduled to Father under the Agreement and Exhibit A (Holiday & Vacation Schedule) that falls during those days shall automatically transfer to Mother for the duration of Father's absence.

Father shall provide Written Notice to Mother of the On-Location Work engagement as soon as practicable after accepting the engagement, and in any event no later than fourteen (14) calendar days before the anticipated start of the on-location period. Father acknowledges that timely notice is essential to Mother's ability to plan appropriately for the additional custodial time and to minimize disruption to the children's routines.

The On-Location Work notice shall include the following information:

(a) The nature of the engagement, including the name of the production, the production company, and Father's role (e.g., director of photography, camera operator);

(b) The location or locations where the On-Location Work will be performed, including the city, state, and/or country;

(c) The anticipated start date and end date of the on-location period; and

(d) Any anticipated breaks during the on-location period during which Father will return to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area and during which Father desires to exercise his scheduled custodial time or make-up time.

If Father anticipates breaks during the on-location period during which he will return to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate Father's exercise of custodial time during such breaks, provided that the breaks are of sufficient duration and that the exercise of custodial time during such breaks would not unreasonably disrupt the children's school schedule or extracurricular activities.

Section 5.3 — Mother's On-Location Work. The provisions of Section 5.2 shall apply reciprocally to Mother (Marguerite Delphine Fonseca). If Mother's work at Luminos Entertainment Group, Inc. or otherwise requires Mother to travel away from the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area for more than fourteen (14) consecutive calendar days — including but not limited to travel for production oversight, content development, industry conferences, or other professional obligations — any custodial time scheduled to Mother under the Agreement and Exhibit A (Holiday & Vacation Schedule) that falls during those days shall automatically transfer to Father for the duration of Mother's absence.

Mother shall provide Written Notice to Father with the same content and timing requirements set forth in Section 5.2. Mother acknowledges that timely notice is essential to Father's ability to plan appropriately for the additional custodial time and to minimize disruption to the children's routines, and that Father's professional commitments as a freelance cinematographer may require him to adjust his own work schedule to accommodate the transferred custodial time.

Section 5.4 — Make-Up Time. The parent whose custodial time was transferred under this Article V shall be entitled to make-up custodial time equal to the number of overnights lost during the on-location period. Make-up time shall be scheduled by mutual written agreement of the parties within sixty (60) calendar days following the conclusion of the On-Location Work period (i.e., the date on which the traveling parent returns to his or her residence in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area).

In scheduling make-up time, the parties shall adhere to the following principles:

(a) Make-up time shall be scheduled in a manner that minimizes disruption to the children's regular school schedule at Ridgeview Academy (or any successor school) and to the children's extracurricular activities, therapy appointments, and social commitments;

(b) Make-up time may be scheduled in increments (e.g., additional weekends, extended holiday periods, or additional weekday overnights) rather than in a single continuous block, if doing so is more practical and less disruptive to the children;

(c) Make-up time shall not result in the children being away from either parent for more than fourteen (14) consecutive days without the consent of both parents; and

(d) The parties shall consider the children's preferences and emotional needs in scheduling make-up time, particularly in light of the separation caused by the traveling parent's absence.

If the parties cannot agree on the make-up schedule within thirty (30) calendar days of the traveling parent's return to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, either party may submit the dispute to the Parenting Plan Coordinator, Dr. Marcus W. Ingalls, LMFT, for resolution. The Parenting Plan Coordinator shall make a recommendation regarding the make-up schedule within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving the referral, taking into account the factors set forth above. If either party disagrees with the Parenting Plan Coordinator's recommendation, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article VI shall apply.

Section 5.5 — Repeated or Extended On-Location Absences. If either parent's On-Location Work results in the transfer of custodial time under this Article V for more than a cumulative total of forty-five (45) calendar days in any twelve-month period (measured from the anniversary of the court order entered February 9, 2024, in Case No. 22STFL09847, Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles), either party may seek review and modification of the custody and timeshare arrangement pursuant to the modification provisions of the Agreement. The parties acknowledge that repeated or extended absences from custodial time may affect the children's attachment relationships, sense of stability, and emotional well-being, and that such absences may constitute a material change in circumstances warranting judicial review.

Additionally, frequent or extended On-Location Work absences may constitute a material change in circumstances for purposes of the annual review provision set forth in the Child Support Agreement (as defined in the Agreement), and either party may seek modification of child support in accordance with California Family Code Section 3651 et seq.

Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall be construed to prohibit either parent from accepting On-Location Work or to penalize either parent for the exercise of his or her professional obligations. The purpose of this provision is solely to ensure that the custody arrangement remains responsive to the actual circumstances of the family and continues to serve the best interests of the children.

Section 5.6 — Communication During On-Location Absences. During any On-Location Work absence under this Article V, the traveling parent shall have reasonable and regular video and telephone contact with the minor children, and the custodial parent shall facilitate such contact. At a minimum, the traveling parent shall have one (1) daily video call with the children of at least fifteen (15) minutes' duration, scheduled at a mutually agreed time that is appropriate for the children given their age, bedtime routine, and the time zone difference between the children's location and the traveling parent's location.

The custodial parent shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the children are available for the scheduled video calls and that the children have access to a device with video calling capability (e.g., FaceTime, Calderon Software, Severin Industries Meet, or similar platform). The traveling parent shall make reasonable efforts to initiate the video calls at the agreed-upon time and to maintain a consistent schedule of calls throughout the on-location period. Neither parent shall monitor, record, or interfere with the children's communications with the other parent except as may be necessary to assist a child who is too young to operate the communication device independently.

In addition to the daily video call, the traveling parent may communicate with the children by telephone, text message, or other means at reasonable times and with reasonable frequency, subject to the children's schedule and the custodial parent's right to manage the household routine during his or her custodial time.

ARTICLE VI — DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 6.1 — Parenting Plan Coordinator. Any dispute arising under this Exhibit B — including but not limited to disputes regarding the application, interpretation, or enforcement of the ROFR provisions, travel notice requirements, on-location work transfers, make-up time scheduling, or any other matter governed by this Exhibit B — shall first be submitted to the Parenting Plan Coordinator, Dr. Marcus W. Ingalls, LMFT (California License No. LMFT 89412), of Ingalls & Cuevas Family Counseling, located at 10880 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 630, Los Angeles, California 90024. Either party may initiate the referral by sending a written request to the Parenting Plan Coordinator with a copy to the other party.

The Parenting Plan Coordinator shall have the authority to meet with the parties (jointly or separately), gather relevant information, and make recommendations for the resolution of the dispute. The Parenting Plan Coordinator shall not have the authority to make binding decisions on disputes under this Exhibit B, unless otherwise provided by a separate court order granting the Parenting Plan Coordinator decision-making authority pursuant to California Family Code Section 3183 or other applicable law. The parties shall cooperate with the Parenting Plan Coordinator in good faith and shall provide such information as the Parenting Plan Coordinator reasonably requests.

Section 6.2 — Mediation. If the Parenting Plan Coordinator is unable to resolve the dispute within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving the referral, either party may request mediation before a qualified family law mediator. The mediator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties, or, if the parties cannot agree on a mediator within seven (7) calendar days of the request for mediation, by the Parenting Plan Coordinator. The costs of mediation, including the mediator's fees and any administrative costs, shall be shared equally between the parties. Mediation shall take place in the County of Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Section 6.3 — Court Intervention. If mediation is unsuccessful, if the parties are unable to agree on a mediator, or if the matter is urgent and involves imminent travel or a time-sensitive issue that cannot reasonably await the completion of the mediation process, either party may file an appropriate Request for Order (Judicial Council Form FL-300) or other motion with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, in Case No. 22STFL09847. The parties acknowledge that court intervention is intended as a last resort and agree to make good faith efforts to resolve disputes through the Parenting Plan Coordinator and mediation before seeking judicial relief. Nothing in this Article VI shall be construed to limit either party's right to seek emergency or ex parte relief from the Court when the circumstances warrant such relief.

To the extent permitted by law, the parties agree that any invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.
