ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND RELEASES

I understand and agree that all participant selection and elimination decisions shall be final and binding on me in all respects, and shall not be subject to challenge or appeal.

9)                   RELEASE AND AGREEMENT NOT TO SUE. My participation in the Activity (including, without limitation, in the Program, if selected) is at my own risk. On behalf of me, my heirs, next of kin, spouse, guardians, legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), I, to the maximum extent permitted by law, release and discharge unconditionally and irrevocably Releasees from and against any and all claims, liens, agreements, contracts, actions, suits, costs, attorneys’ fees, damages, judgments, orders and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden arising out of or in connection with my application to participate in the Program; my participation or appearance in or removal from the Activity (including, without limitation, my participation or appearance in or removal from the Program, if selected); the activities associated with the Activity (including, without limitation, the Program); any actions of me or Producer in connection with that application or participation (including any investigation conducted by Producer in connection with that application, whether as specifically authorized under this release or otherwise); Producer’s selection or failure to select me as a participant; or any Releasees’ use of any of the rights granted by me herein, including, without limitation, the Releasees’ recording and/or use or failure to use the Materials or my name, voice or likeness in any manner, or any exploitation of the Program, my Likeness or the Materials (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as the “Released Claims”). The Released Claims include, without limitation, claims for any injury, illness, damage, loss or harm to person or property, whether based on negligence, wrongful death, personal injury, infliction of emotional distress, products liability, trespass, breach of contract, breach of any statutory or other duty of care owed under applicable laws, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, libel, slander, defamation, false light, false imprisonment, invasion of  privacy, publicity or personality, infringement of copyright or trademark or loss of earnings or potential earnings. Further, to the maximum extent permitted by law, I agree not to sue Releasees as a result of the recording or use of my Likeness and/or the Materials (including, without limitation, any claim that such use defames me or invades any right  of privacy and/or publicity) or for any reason based on any of the Released Claims hereunder.

I and the other Releasing Parties acknowledge that there is a possibility that subsequent to the execution of this release, I or they will discover facts or incur or suffer claims that were unknown or unsuspected at the time this release was executed, and which if known by me at that time may have materially affected my

decision to execute this release. I and the other Releasing Parties acknowledge and agree that by reason of this release, I and the other Releasing Parties are assuming any risk of the existence of such unknown facts and such unknown and unsuspected claims. I and the other Releasing Parties have been advised of the existence of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

Notwithstanding such provisions, this release shall constitute a full release in accordance with its terms. I and the other Releasing Parties knowingly and voluntarily waive the provisions of Section 1542, as well as any other statute, law, or rule of similar effect of any jurisdiction throughout the world, and acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this release.

confidentiality or any other provisions of this Application & Release, my breach may, in the sole discretion of Producer and/or Network, result in my being disqualified to participate as a participant in the Program. I further acknowledge that a breach by me of any of the confidentiality provisions of this Application & Release would cause Producer and Network irreparable injury and damage that cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law, and, therefore, I hereby expressly agree that Producer and Network shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent and/or cure any breach or threatened breach of any of the confidentiality provisions of this Application & Release by me.

13)               MEDIATION & ARBITRATION. The parties agree that if any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Application & Release cannot be settled through direct discussions, they shall endeavor first to settle the controversy or claim by a mediation administered by JAMS under its applicable rules. IF THE DISPUTE IS NOT OTHERWISE RESOLVED THROUGH DIRECT DISCUSSIONS OR MEDIATION, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM, INCLUDING THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, SHALL THEN BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY JAMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES OR SUBSEQUENT VERSIONS THEREOF, INCLUDING ITS OPTIONAL APPEAL PROCEDURE (THE “JAMS RULES”, AVAILABLE AT WWW.JAMSADR.COM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE RULE PROVIDING THAT EACH PARTY SHALL PAY PRO RATA ITS SHARE OF JAMS FEES AND EXPENSES, AND THE RULES PROVIDING FOR LIMITED DISCOVERY AND OTHER EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION). THE JAMS RULES FOR SELECTION OF AN ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FOLLOWED, EXCEPT THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN CALIFORNIA AND BE EXPERIENCED IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. ALL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS APPLICATION & RELEASE SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR TO RESCIND THIS APPLICATION & RELEASE OR SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR ANY OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, I RECOGNIZE THAT GIVEN        THE UNIQUE NATURE OF THE PROGRAM AND THE COMMERCIAL REALITIES OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, WHICH RELY UPON CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, ANY ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED BREACH OF MY CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THIS APPLICATION & RELEASE, OR ANY INFRINGEMENT BY ME OF PRODUCER’S OR NETWORK’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WOULD CAUSE PRODUCER AND NETWORK IRREPARABLE INJURY AND DAMAGE THAT CANNOT BE REASONABLY OR ADEQUATELY COMPENSATED BY MONEY AND, THEREFORE, I AGREE THAT PRODUCER AND NETWORK SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SEEK AND OBTAIN INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FOR ANY SUCH BREACH OR INFRINGEMENT.

I have read, understand, and agree with the foregoing. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GIVING UP CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS UNDER THIS APPLICATION & RELEASE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MY RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS APPLICATION & RELEASE.
