Where in the World

APPLICATION RELEASE *
This release is made to allow Rogue Atlas Productions, Inc. (“Producer”) to consider the undersigned (“you”) as a potential participant in a television production which is currently entitled “Where in the World” (the "Program").  You represent and warrant that you are authorized to apply for consideration and make all representations, warranties, acknowledgements, consents, releases, and grant of rights for yourself and on behalf of each family member who desires to participate in the Program (each, a “Family Member” and collectively “Family”) the same as if they were making such themselves. You are giving this release in conjunction with the application you are submitting for the Program (“Application”) and in consideration for Producer to continue to consider you to potentially participate in the Program.  Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, you understand, acknowledge and agree as follows:  

1.	If your Family is selected to participate in the Program you and your participating Family Members will need to be available for the production dates (to be determined by Producer) and be willing to travel to a location or locations designated by Producer in connection with production of the Program.

2.	Producer reserves the right to remove from the Program any person (including you, any Family Member and/or anyone who may appear with you on the Program) whom Producer determines, in Producer’s sole discretion, is sufficiently connected with the Program or any of the Releasees (as defined below) such that such person’s participation in the Program could create the appearance of impropriety.  Such decisions shall be final and are not subject to challenge or appeal. In the event a Family Member is determined to be ineligible for any reason, then the Family, as constituted, will be ineligible.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that by reason of your Application and the release contained in the preceding paragraph, you are assuming any risk of such unknown facts and such unknown and unsuspected claims.

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

(l)	You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Releasees from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) that in any way arise out of or result from (i) your breach of any representations, warranties, or covenants made by you in your Application; (ii) your acts, statements or omissions in and in connection with your Application and/or your participation in the Program; and (iii) use of any of the rights granted by you herein (including, without limitation, the Materials).

ALL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES.  I AGREE THAT THE REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM BROUGHT AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASEES PURSUANT TO THIS APPLICATION SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL I BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR TO RESCIND THIS APPLICATION OR SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR ANY OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU 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 YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO THIS APPLICATION, OR ANY INFRINGEMENT BY YOU OF PRODUCER’S AND/OR ITS LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, WOULD CAUSE PRODUCER AND/OR ITS LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS IRREPARABLE INJURY AND DAMAGE THAT CANNOT BE REASONABLY OR ADEQUATELY COMPENSATED BY MONEY AND, THEREFORE, YOU AGREE THAT PRODUCER AND/OR ITS LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SEEK AND OBTAIN INJUNCTIVE AND OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FOR ANY SUCH BREACH OR INFRINGEMENT.
