        <Description>ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT - In an effort to develop new works for the stage and provide an artistic home to artists, Roundabout undertook a number of initiatives during the 2009/10 season.

In order to build younger audiences, all Underground tickets were priced at $20. During the 2009/10 season, Roundabout supported 11 commission projects to emerging and established playwrights. To further develop new work, Roundabout conducted 23 artistic readings and workshops of new plays and works under consideration. And through the Associate Artists Program, Roundabout provided an artistic home for six outstanding artists who received a stable base of support and opportunities to suggest projects to RTC at any point in their development.</Description>

        <Explanation>part ii - retention agreements related to compensation In 2005, the Theatre entered into a retention agreement with the Artistic Director under which, upon the completion of continuous service until May 7, 2018, he will receive a lump-sum of $3.2 million. It is the Theatre's intention to make sinking-fund payments of $142,000 annually to fully fund this obligation over the life of the agreement, assuming a 7% discount rate. Through August 31, 2010, a cumulative total of $1,086,835 has been accrued and is fully funded. Should the Theatre replace the Artistic Director or curtail his duties other than for cause, partial payment would be due if such action occurred prior to the eighth anniversary, with full payment due if thereafter. In 2005, the Theatre also entered into a retention agreement with the Executive Director under which, upon the completion of continuous service through August 31, 2009, she was to receive a lump-sum of $200,000. This retention payment was earned as of August 31, 2009 and was paid during fiscal year 2010.</Explanation>
