respective subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, distributors,

and each such company's officers, directors, employees and agents
(collectively, the "Released Parties") from and against any claim or cause of
action, including, but not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or
loss of property, arising out of participation in the Promotion or receipt or
use or misuse of any prize.

likeness, photograph, voice, opinions and/or hometown and state for promotional
purposes in any media, worldwide, without further payment or consideration.

and/or modify the Promotion, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical
failures or any other factor beyond Sponsor's reasonable control impairs the
integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes or Instant Win Game, as
determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor reserves the right to award the prizes at
random from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the
impairment. Sponsor reserves the
right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be

promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any

confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or
corrupted, entrant's sole remedy is another entry in the Sweepstakes or Instant
Win Game play, provided that if it is not possible to award another entry due
to discontinuance of the Promotion, or any part of it, for any reason, Sponsor,
in its sole discretion, may elect to hold a random drawing from among all
eligible entries received up to the date of discontinuance for any or all of
the prizes offered herein. No more than
the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production,
technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than stated

by a random drawing among all legitimate, unawarded, eligible prize claims.
