The decisions of the Sponsor on this and all matter relating to the Contest are final and binding.

• 7. FIRST ROUND FINALIST SELECTION PROCESS:

  All eligible Videos will be displayed on the Contest Site starting November 13, 2006. Between November 13, 2006 and December 1, 2006 at 3 PM PST, (the "Round One Voting Period"). Participants who have registered at the Site pursuant to Rule 3, will have the opportunity to view and rate Videos (the " Public Voters"). Public Voters will be asked to rate Videos on a 1 to 5 star rating scale with 1 star being the lowest score and 5 stars being the highest score, based on the entrants talent, creativity and web charisma. In the event of a tie, the tied entries will be re-judged by a different panel of judges selected by the Sponsor, using the same criteria described above. Voters can only rate each Video once. Any attempt by a Voter to rate a Video more than once will result in disqualification of all ratings and other Voter Activity produced by that Voter.

  The Videos in Round One will also be rated by a preliminary panel consisting of editors and media staff selected by the Sponsor and/or the Promotion Entities (the "Preliminary Panel"), who will select the top 250 entries as Semifinalists based on the Judging Criteria (defined below). The Semifinalists will not be announced. Sponsor reserves the right to select fewer than 250 Semifinalists in the event there is an insufficient number of eligible, tasteful, or otherwise appropriate entries in the Contest. The Preliminary Panel will rate the Videos on a 1-5 star scale rating with 1 star being the lowest score and 5 stars being the highest score, based on the following equally weighted criteria: creativity, entertainment ability, and audience appeal (the "Judging Criteria"). The 250 Semifinalists will then be evaluated by an expert panel of judges comprised of web celebrities and media personalities (the "Finalist Judges") based on the same Judging Criteria. The Finalist Judges will also consider the results of the public voting as of December 1, 2006 at 3 PM (PST) as an additional factor in applying the foregoing criteria, but will not be bound by the results of the public voting. The Participants who submitted the Videos that receive the five highest average ratings from the Finalist Judges will be considered the potential Contest finalists (each, a "Finalist") and advance to Round Two, subject to verification by the Sponsor and judges that the Videos are in compliance with the Official Rules and do not contain any inappropriate content. An additional number of alternate Finalists ("Alternates") will also be selected, in rank order, from among the remaining eligible Videos as scored by the Finalist Judges.

  Between approximately November 27, 2006 and December 1, 2006, the five potential Finalists and 15 alternates will be contacted by telephone and/or email to arrange a personal interview and pre-screening with the Sponsor (the "Pre-Screening"). Each potential Finalist will be required to execute and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release (collectively, an "Affidavit and Release"), together with a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA") and any other pre-employment documentation or screening that may be required by Sponsor in connection with its normal pre-employment screening procedures. As part of the Affidavit and Release, each potential Finalist will be required to give his/her consent for the Promotion Entities to seek, at their option, investigation reports from an outside source that will report on the potential Finalist's character, general reputation, creditworthiness, and/or other personal or character aspects as may be deemed relevant in the Sponsor's sole discretion. Failure to give approval will result in disqualification of the potential Finalist from the Contest. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any potential Finalist or confirmed Finalist on the basis of that individual's investigative reports. If any potential Finalist cannot be contacted, does not return a phone call or correspondence from the Sponsor within 24 hours following attempted notification, or fails to comply with the Sponsor's verification process and/or eligibility requirements for the Pre-Screening, that potential Finalist may be disqualified. Similarly, the Affidavit and Release must be fully completed and returned to Sponsors within 48 hours following the sending of those documents to the potential Finalist, or the potential Finalist may be disqualified. Similarly, the Affidavit and Release must be fully completed and returned to Sponsor within 48 hours following the sending of those documents to the potential Finalist, or the potential Finalist may be disqualified. An alternate potential Finalist may be selected, in rank order, from among the remaining Alternates, if time permits, and if any qualified Alternates remain, subject to the same eligibility and verification requirements described in these Official Rules. Potential Finalists or Alternates which are disqualified for any reason will not be entitled to any form of compensation, and any and all rights to further participation or any prize in this competition will be forfeited. As with the initial judging criteria, the judges reserve the right to select fewer than 5 Finalists in the event that fewer than 5 potential Finalists are deemed to meet their criteria, or if any potential Finalist, in the sole opinion of Sponsor, does not pass a background check.
