a. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY COMPANY OR THE NETWORK, I SHALL NOT USE OR DISCLOSE TO ANY PARTICIPANT OR ANY OTHER PARTY AT ANY TIME (I.E., PRIOR TO, DURING, OR AFTER THE TAPING OR EXHIBITION OF ANY EPISODE OF THE CONTEST), AND SHALL KEEP IN THE STRICTEST CONFIDENCE, ANY INFORMATION THAT I MAY READ, HEAR OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRE OR LEARN IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF MY PARTICIPATION IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONTEST (COLLECTIVELY, THE āCONFIDENTIAL INFORMATIONā), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS CONCERNING OR RELATING TO COMPANY OR THE JMG COMPANIES, ANY INFORMATION CONCERNING OR RELATING TO THE CONTEST, ITS PARTICIPANTS, EVENTS, OUTCOMES AND LOCATIONS, AND THE CONTENTS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT THAT I SIGN, HAVE SIGNED OR RECEIVE FROM COMPANY OR THE JMG COMPANIES AT ANY TIME, UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS SPECIFICALLY DISCLOSED IN THE BROADCAST OR OTHER EXHIBITION OF THE CONTEST, IF EVER. I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS CONFIDENTIAL AND THE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF COMPANY OR THE JMG COMPANIES. I WILL NOT AT ANY TIME, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, DIVULGE IN ANY MANNER, OR USE OR PERMIT OTHERS TO USE, ANY OF THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION UNLESS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BY COMPANY OR THE JMG COMPANIES IN WRITING.
b. Except as otherwise required or permitted by Company and the JMG Companies, I shall not advertise or promote my participation in the Contest or receive or generate any monetary advantage from my participation in the Contest, nor shall I authorize any others to do so.

Therefore, I agree that Company and the JMG Companies shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief (without posting bond) to prevent or cure any such breach or threatened breach. I also recognize that proof of damages suffered by Company and the JMG Companies in the event of any such breach would be extremely costly, difficult and inconvenient. Accordingly, I agree as follows:
i. In the event that I breach subsection (a) or (b) of this paragraph at any time, I agree to return any Prize or other goods, services or money that I may already have received in connection with the Contest, and to forfeit my right or opportunity to receive any Prize or other goods, services or money that I have not yet received.
ii. In the event that I breach subsection (a) or (b) or (c) of this paragraph I agree to pay Company and the JMG Companies the sum of fifty thousand U.S. Dollars ($50,000.00) for each such breach, plus disgorgement of any income that I may receive in connection with any such breach, as liquidated damages. I agree that this amount is a reasonable estimate of the amount of damages Company and the JMG Companies are likely to suffer in the event of any such breach before the initial exhibition of the final episode of the Contest, considering all of the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement.
d. In addition to the liquidated damages set forth above, I shall indemnify and hold Company and the JMG Companies free and harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneysā fees and costs) that in any way arise out of or result from any breach by me of subsections (a) or (b) of this paragraph.
e. I agree not to use the names, logos or marks of Company, the JMG Companies or any related or affiliated entity without obtaining Companyās prior written approval in each instance.
f. I acknowledge and agree that my obligations with respect to confidentiality and publicity as set forth in this paragraph shall continue in perpetuity, or, at a minimum, until terminated by JMG or the JMG Companies in writing. In no event will I have the right to terminate my confidentiality obligations under this Agreement.
