I understand that all selection decisions are final and nonappealable and are solely at the Producers' discretion. I agree to accept whatever decision the Producers make.

I understand that if: 1) my submitted materials and this application (the "Materials") are selected by the judges; 2) the Producers determine that I meet all of the eligibility requirements and have complied with all contest rules set forth at CMT.com, and 3) I am chosen by the Producers to appear on the show, then:

(a)      I may be given the opportunity to meet a country music personality selected by the Producers at a location and under conditions determined at the Producers' sole discretion (the "Opportunity"); provided that

(b)      I must be willing to: (i) be videotaped and interviewed by, and cooperate fully with, the Producers, (ii) execute all appropriate releases and consent forms required by the Producers; (iii) comply with all contest rules and provisions of this Release (and any other consent forms and releases required by Producers).

II understand that, in order to be selected for the Opportunity, I must be at least 21 years of age, and be a legal U.S. resident

I acknowledge that upon my submission of the Materials, they shall become the sole and exclusive property of the Producers. I represent and warrant that the Materials I am submitting are my own original work and do not infringe on any third party's copyrighted material, trademark or other intellectual property rights.

I also represent and warrant that, prior to submission, I am the owner of the Materials, and that the Materials may be broadcast and otherwise used as set forth herein without obtaining permission from or making any payment to any third party. I agree that all persons appearing in the Materials must sign consent forms and/or releases before they can be considered for the Opportunity or inclusion in the Production. A parent or guardian must sign the consent/release form for minors depicted in a submitted video. Failure to provide, obtain and execute all additional requested releases and/or consents will result in disqualification of the Applicant. These release and/or consent forms will be provided by the Producers.

I understand that all materials provided to Producers by me will not be returned to me. The Producers are not responsible for lost, damaged or misdirected tapes under any circumstances.

I authorize the use and reproduction of all or any portion of the Materials and the Performance (as defined below) in conjunction with CMT Got Me in With The Band by the Producers. The Producers shall have the right to modify and adapt the Materials for incorporation into the Production and the right to exhibit, transmit, license, assign and/or distribute the Production in all markets and media throughout the world, in perpetuity and shall have the right to include all or any portion of the Material and Performance in the advertising and promotion of the Production in all media. By submitting this application I acknowledge that the Producers may use the Material and the Performance in accordance with the permission granted herein without any payment to myself or any third party.

I agree that if I am selected to appear in the Production, the Producers may videotape and photograph me and record my voice and conversation including quotes, paraphrases, sounds, and any performance of musical composition(s) during and in connection with the Production (the "Performance"). I also understand and agree that this Production is a non-guild production and there will be no residual or any other type of payment due in connection with my Performance.

I agree that, at no cost to Producers, I have secured, or will secure (and/or will arrange with any respective publisher and/or third party owner to secure) all rights, including synchronization rights necessary for you to use any musical composition(s) contained in the Production, but only with respect to composition(s) I own, control, wrote and/or co-wrote in connection with the Production. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Release shall affect my right, or the right of any authorized publisher or co-writer, to collect public performance royalties.

I agree that the Producers shall be the exclusive owners of all copyright and other rights in and to such taping, photography and recording and will be able to use them forever and throughout the world, and to license others to use them, in any manner the Producers wish and in any and all media now known or hereafter discovered or developed along with incidental uses in connection with the merchandising of the Production or its related products, but not so as to constitute an endorsement of an unrelated product of the Production, without compensation to the Applicant. Neither Applicant, nor any other party now or hereafter having an interest shall have any right of action against the Producers or any other party arising out of any use of said Materials or the Production.

I hereby consent to the use forever and throughout the world by the Producers, and their respective successors, licensees, nominees and assigns, of said photographs and videotape and sound recordings in or in connection with the production, exhibition, distribution, advertising, and exploitation and/or other use of any of our videotapes and/or otherwise in any and all media now known or hereafter discovered or developed.
