and activities by November 30, 2010, and (iii) engage in quality participation,
as judged in the sole and absolute discretion of the Game Sponsor (based on how
well players complete the activities and challenges, including budgeting and journal

who complete the required activities and challenges with quality participation.
All players that properly complete the required activities and challenges and have
received a designated number of tokens (awarded for completion of Game activities
and challenges) will be placed in a winners round. For this purpose, the designated

at the end of the required challenges and activities.

winners round. Random drawings will be held by December 15, 2010 under the supervision
of the Game Sponsor. All decisions by the Game Sponsor are final and binding. Winners
will be notified by either e-mail or mail. Failure to claim a prize within 14 days
of notification will result in prizes being given to alternate winners. All winners
are subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with Game rules.
