Whereas, _____________________ (the "Producer") is engaged in a project (the "Video"), and

Whereas, I, the undersigned, have agreed to appear in the Video, and

Whereas, I understand that my voice, name, and image will be recorded by various mechani-
cal and electrical means of all descriptions (such recordings, any piece thereof, the con-
tents therein and all reproductions thereof, along with the utilization of my name, shall
be collectively referred to herein as the "Released Subject Matter"),

Therefore, in exchange for $1.00, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged and whose suffi-
ciency as consideration I affirm, I hereby freely and without restraint consent to and give
unto the Producer and its agents or assigns or anyone authorized by the Producer, (collec-
tively referred to herein as the "Releasees") the unrestrained right in perpetuity to own,
utilize, or alter the Released Subject Matter, in any manner the Releasees may see fit and
for any purpose whatsoever, all of the foregoing to be without limitation of any kind.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I hereby authorize the Releasees and grant
unto them the unrestrained rights to utilize the Released Subject Matter in connection with
the Video's advertising, publicity, public displays, and exhibitions. I hereby stipulate
that the Released Subject Matter is the property of the Producer to do with as it will.

I hereby waive to the fullest extent that I may lawfully do so, any causes of action in law
or equity I may have or may hereafter acquire against the Releasees or any of them for libel,
slander, invasion of privacy, copyright or trademark violation, right of publicity, or false
light arising out of or in connection with the utilization by the Releasees or another of
the Released Subject Matter.

It is my intention that the above mentioned consideration represents the sole compensation
that I am entitled to receive in connection with any and all usages of the Released Subject
Matter. I expressly stipulate that the Releasees may utilize the Released Subject Matter
or not as they choose in their sole discretion without affecting the validity of this
