I agree that Releases may use all or any part of my Likeness, and may alter or modify it regardless of whether or not I am recognizable. I further agree that Releases exclusively own any application materials (videos, photos, etc.) that I may have provided in connection with my application for or participation in the Program and any photos and video or recordings of any kind that Producers will make of me in connection with the Program and my application therefore (collectively, the “Materials”) and all rights therein and thereto including, without limitation, the right to use the Materials and my Likeness in any and all media now known or hereafter devised worldwide, in perpetuity. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, I further agree that Releases may use my Likeness and the Materials in connection with any promotion, publicity, marketing or advertisement for the Program or any exploitation of the Program of any kind. I grant the rights hereunder whether or not I am selected to participate in the Program in any manner whatsoever.

I agree not to make any claim against Releases as a result of the recording or use of my Likeness and/or the Materials (including, without limitation, any claim that such use invades any right of privacy and/or publicity and any claims based on defamation or libel or false light). Without limiting the foregoing in any way, to the degree that the Materials include any musical or literary compositions in which I (partially or wholly) own, or to which I purport to (partially or wholly) own, the copyright or any publishing rights, I hereby grant to the Producers, and have the complete, unfettered right to grant to the Producers, an irrevocable, unlimited, perpetual, worldwide, royalty and payment-free license to use and reproduce such Materials in the Program and in connection with any promotion, publicity, marketing or advertisement for the Program or any exploitation of the Program of any kind, in any and all media now known or which may exist in the future.
