Judging and Viewer Public Voting: This Contest consists of four (4) stages (in order): 1) Trivia Contestant Judging; 2) Semi-Finalist Judging; 3) Viewer Public Voting and (4) the “Dance Your Heart Out” competition on the Live with Regis and Kelly Show. Judges have the right, in their sole discretion, to select fewer than the number of participants (stated below) or winners (or no winners at all) based on insufficient number or quality of potential Entries received. a) Trivia Contestant Judging: Commencing on or about August 16, 2008 and continuing to on or about September 26, 2008, eligible Entries will be judged as they are received by a panel of judges from the Show (“Show Judges.”) Show Judges will determine the five (5) highest scoring potential Trivia Contestants (and up to ten (10) alternates) per week for a maximum of twenty (20) Trivia Contestants who will participate during the Trivia Game Broadcast Period. Entries will be judged and assigned in a call order the week prior to the applicable broadcasts. Each Entrant’s Video will be judged based on the following criteria below (collectively “Judging Criteria”): 1) Overall Impact and Entertainment Value (1-100 points) 2) Enthusiasm and Sense of Fun (1-100 points) 3) Presentation and Execution (1-100 points) The Judges will score each Video on the “Overall Impact and Entertainment Value” criteria first. Each Video must score fifty-points (50) or more in order for it to be eligible to be scored in the next two (2) categories. A Video that scores between one (1) and forty-nine (49) will not be eligible to move forward. Once a Video receives a score in the “Overall Impact and Entertainment Value” criteria of fifty (50) points or more, the judges will then score each additional category. The score of each of the three (3) criteria above will be added together to create a total score (maximum of three hundred (300) points) (“Total Score”). The five (5) highest scoring Entries (plus up to ten (10) alternates) judged and selected by the Friday prior to the applicable broadcast week during that week, will be arranged in the Call Order for that week’s Trivia Game (subject to compliance with these Contest Official Rules). In the event of a Video score tie, ties will be broken first by reference to the highest score in the “Overall Impact and Entertainment Value” criteria. In the event that fails to resolve all tie situations, any remaining ties will be resolved by reference to the highest score in the “Enthusiasm and Sense of Fun” criteria. In the event that fails to resolve all tie situations, any remaining ties will be resolved by reference to the highest score in the “Presentation and Execution” criteria. In the event a tie situation still exists at that point, Show Judges will re-score the tied Entries using the judging criteria until ties are broken and the applicable number of potential Trivia Contestants is determined for that week. b) Semi-Finalist Judging: On or about September 30, 2008, the final judging of all eligible Videos received will be conducted by the Show Judges who will select the top ten (10) highest Total Scores and deem those Entrants potential semi-finalists eligible (subject to verification of eligibility and submission of documentation as required in Section 6) to participate in the online viewer public voting competition (“Semi-Finalists”). In the event of a tie, Show Judges will break any ties using the judging criteria and tie-breaking procedure described in 4a (above) until the tie is broken and the applicable number of potential Semi-Finalists is determined. Participation as a Trivia Contestant and/or inclusion of Entrant’s Video on the Web Sites online gallery does not advantage an Entry or score, nor does it exclude any Entry from further participation. c) Viewer Public Voting: Starting on or about 9:01 a.m. (ET) to 11:59 p.m. (ET) on October 1, 2008 (“Voting Period”), viewers can log on to the Web Site and select the Contest voting icon, which will open the Contest voting page.

Each potential Finalist must be available to travel on or about or about October 4, 2008 through on or about October 7, 2008 (or on other dates and times specified by sponsor at its sole discretion), or potential Finalist will be disqualified and the next Semi Finalist Entry which received the next highest number of votes may be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

The highest scoring Finalist will be deemed the “Dance Your Heart Out” grand prize winner which will be announced that day on the Show. In the event of a tie, “Dance Your Heart Out” Judges will break any ties using the judging criteria and tie-breaking procedure described in 4a (above) until the tie is broken and the “Dance Your Heart Out” grand prize winner is determined. 5. Trivia Game Contestant Notification and Requirements: Every day during the Trivia Game Broadcast Period the five (5) highest scoring Entries (judged on the criteria defined above) received during that week (plus up to ten (10) alternates) will be selected and numbered chronologically off-camera (“Call Order”). Prior to each weekday that the “Trivia Game” is played, beginning on or about September 3, 2008, through the last “live” or “taped” broadcast of Live with Regis and Kelly airing on or about September 30, 2008 a representative of the Show will call one (1) selected contestant prior to the taping of Show according to the numerical order in which his/her Entry was scored (highest to lowest). The potential trivia contestant will be called at the telephone number furnished by his/her Entry and notified that he/she is a potential trivia contestant, that his/her Video or a portion thereof may be broadcast. Potential trivia contestants must complete the Sponsor’s publicity and materials release (“Publicity and Materials Release”) and fax to Show’s representative prior to his/her participation, and agree to be available on the date and time to participate in that day’s Show broadcast and/or taping (“Trivia Contestant”). Failure to fax the Publicity and Materials Release on the date and time requested; failure to answer the telephone; and failure to be available prior to the taping of the designated Show, will forfeit that Entrant’s chance to play the Trivia Game that day. The Show’s representative will call the next highest scored Entrant (and so on) until one (1) Trivia Contestant is secured to participate for that day’s Trivia Game. If the one (1) telephone number listed is a cell phone, potential Trivia Contestant will be required, when the Show representative calls, to provide a land-line telephone number at which he/she can be reached on the designated weekday within the time period specified by the Sponsor in its sole discretion in order to participate in the Trivia Game. Failure to immediately supply such a landline telephone number will result in potential Trivia Contestant’s disqualification in the Trivia Game. If any call to a potential Trivia Contestant results in five (5) unanswered rings, a busy signal or an answering machine response, the Show’s representative will call again one (1) additional time. If the second call again results in five (5) unanswered rings, a busy signal or an answering machine response, the Entry of that potential Trivia Contestant will be returned to the pool of highest scoring Entries for another opportunity to be potential Trivia Contestant on another day (if available and at Sponsor’s sole discretion subject to his/her applicable Total Score) and to be considered for the online viewer voting phase as described above in Section 4c. If the call is answered before five (5) rings and potential Trivia Contestant comes to the telephone within approximately 20 seconds (and if potential Trivia Contestant is available to attempt, during Show’s broadcast (or taping) to answer that day’s trivia question), then Trivia Contestant will be given the opportunity to answer that day’s trivia question about a previous Show’s broadcast. Trivia Contestant will be given twenty (20) seconds from the time the trivia question is asked to respond with an answer. Trivia Contestant will be given only one (1) attempt to answer the trivia question. If a call is placed to Trivia Contestant and, after the call is answered, the call is disconnected or technical difficulties are experienced during the call, the Show will make one (1) attempt to call the Trivia Contestant back. If the Show is unable to reach Trivia Contestant by telephone that Entry will be returned to the Entry pool and an alternate Trivia Contestant (in order of scores) may be called until one (1) Trivia Contestant is reached and complies with all requirements. The Show will speak on-air with a maximum of only one (1) Trivia Contestant on each day of the Contest and may or may not air Trivia Contestant’s Video or upload it to the Web Site video gallery. If Trivia Contestant correctly answers the trivia question in the allotted time, he or she will be awarded that day’s Trivia Game cash prize. If Trivia Contestant does not correctly answer the trivia question, that day’s cash prize will not be awarded to him/her but he/she will still have the opportunity to be judged for the online viewer voting phase. Selected Trivia Contestant’s opportunity to answer the trivia question may or may not result in his/her Video being broadcast during Show (at Sponsor’s sole discretion). Immediately after Trivia Contestant answers his/her trivia question on the telephone, he/she will be notified of he/she is a potential winner of a Trivia Game Cash Prize (subject to subsequent written verification). 6. Semi-Finalist and Finalist Contestant Notification and Requirements: On or about 9:01 a.m. (ET) October 1, 2008, potential semi-finalists will be called at the telephone number furnished by his/her Entry and notified that he/she is a potential Semi-Finalist, that his/her Video or a portion thereof, may be uploaded on to the Web Site for viewer public voting. All Semi-Finalists will be required to complete to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release, (where legal) a Publicity Release, an IRS Form W-9, and any other documentation Sponsor may require (collectively “Affidavit/Release”), which, among other functions, releases Contest Entities from any and all liability in the event that he/she is chosen as a Finalist and travels to compete for the Dance Your Heart Out grand prize. The Affidavit/Release must be signed and faxed to Contest administrator, along with a legible copy of potential Semi-Finalist’s government issued photo I.D., within eight (8) hours of receipt for the purposes of booking travel in the event that he/she is selected as a Finalist.

By faxing and returning the completed Affidavit/Release, potential Finalist(s) attests to the authenticity of his/her Entry. If a potential Semi-Finalist or Finalist does not meet all of the above requirements, he/she may be disqualified and the Entrant whose eligible Entry received the next highest Total Score/number of votes may be declared the potential Semi-Finalist or Finalist, subject to verification and compliance with these Contest Official Rules.
