Cards; [2] ten (10) RDMA T-Shirts [3] and souvenir. There are no other prizes. Prize

(ÒARVÓ): $3,700. If the actual
value of the prize is less than the stated ARV, the difference will not be
awarded. The prize cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion or
offer. Prize elements may not be separated. The prize will be awarded provided
it is validly claimed by April 26, 2016, after which an alternate Sweepstakes
Winner may be selected, time permitting.
V. HOW AND WHEN
WINNER WILL BE SELECTED AND NOTIFIED
On or about April 22, 2016, a potential
Sweepstakes Winner will be selected at random from all eligible Entries
received. Sweepstakes Winner must meet all eligibility requirements. The potential
Sweepstakes Winner will be notified by phone on or about April 22, 2016; and
will receive an affidavit of eligibility/compliance with Rules,
publicity/liability release and indemnification (ÒReleaseÓ) via mail within five
(5) days after successful notification.
All legal responsibilities of a minor (as defined by state or province
of primary residence) entrant under the Rules will be assumed by a Parent; and the prize will be awarded to the Parent for the
benefit of the minor (as defined by state or province of primary residence)
Sweepstakes Winner. At the sole
discretion of the Sponsor, disqualification, forfeiture and the selection of an
alternate Sweepstakes Winner may result from any of the following: [a] potential Sweepstakes WinnerÕs
failure to respond to phone notification within forty-eight (48) hours after

failure to validly claim the prize by April 26, 2016; [e]
potential Sweepstakes WinnerÕs

Rules. In the event of prize forfeiture, the Sponsor may, in its sole
discretion, award or not award the forfeited prize to an alternate Sweepstakes Winner,
time permitting. Each Canadian resident who is a potential Sweepstakes Winner
will be required to answer correctly a mathematical skill testing question
without assistance of any kind whether mechanical or otherwise to be declared a
Sweepstakes Winner and be eligible to collect the prize. Odds of winning depend
on the total number of eligible Entries received. Many will enter; only one (1) will win. Federal,
state, provincial and local taxes are the sole responsibility of the Sweepstakes
Winner (or their Parent if Sweepstakes Winner is a minor as defined by the state
or province of primary residence), who, if an American, will receive an IRS
Form 1099 reflecting the value of his/her prize. A Canadian Sweepstakes Winner (or
their Parent if Sweepstakes Winner is a minor as defined by the province of
primary residence) will be subject to U.S. Federal tax withholding at a rate of
30%. A Canadian Sweepstakes Winner (or
their Parent if Sweepstakes Winner is a minor as defined by the province of
primary residence) must provide an IRS Form W-8BEN and the total value of the
award, including the remitted tax, must be reported on an IRS Form 1042-S that is
also issued to the Canadian Sweepstakes Winner (or their Parent if Sweepstakes
Winner is a minor as defined by the province of primary residence). Sponsor is
not responsible for any circumstances that make it impractical or impossible to
fulfill all elements of the prize; SponsorÕs only obligation will be to provide
the remaining elements, if any, of the prize.
