Notwithstanding the chart in 5.D.2.e., a pilot may declare himself fatigued at any time in the interest of safety.

Declaring fatigue will not result in any disciplinary action. The Company will work with the pilot to get him back on his pairing as quickly and efficiently as possible after the pilot is sufficiently rested.
You really had to write that in your contract?? Maybe it is just me, but that is something I never worry about. If I am truly fatigued, I will call in as such (which I have only done once in my career).. and never worry about any repercussions. Safety.. a great word to use with management.
