6. Winner Determination: Winners will be determined according to the process set forth below.

(a) Submission and Finalist Submission Phases: During the Submission and the Finalist Submission Phase, members of the Intuit Small Business Community will be invited to view and rate each Submission based on the following criteria: usefulness, humor and ability to inspire (the "Rating Criteria"). The aggregate ranking each Submission receives at the end of the applicable Submission or Finalist Submission Phase will be considered by the qualified judges when selecting Finalists and potential Grand and First Prize winners. Limit: Each person may submit three (3) ratings per each Submission during the applicable Submission or Finalist Submission Phase, one (1) rating in the usefulness category, one (1) rating in the humor category and one (1) rating in the ability to inspire category as set forth in the Rating Criteria above. Multiple ratings received from any person or email address after the first rating received from that person or email address will be void. Entrants and Finalists are prohibited from obtaining ratings by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including, without limitation, offering prizes or other inducements to members of the public, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.

(b) Judging and Finalist Judging Phases: During the Judging and the Finalist Judging Phase, a panel of qualified judges determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion will select the fifty (50) potential finalists (each a "Finalist", if during the Judging Phase) and the potential Grand and First Prize winners (if during the Finalist Judging Phase) with the highest scoring Submissions from among all eligible Submissions based on the following criteria ("Judging Criteria"):

• Creativity (20%);
• Quality (40%); and
• User Ratings received during applicable Submission or Finalist Submission Phase (40%)

In the event of a tie, the entrant whose Submission received the highest score in the Creativity Category, as determined by the qualified judges in their sole discretion, will be deemed the applicable Finalist or prize winner. Sponsor and/or the qualified judges reserves the right to select fewer than the stated number of Finalists, Grand or First Prize winners (see Section 8, below), if, in its sole discretion, it does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified Submissions. Subject to the entrant's compliance with these Official Rules, the fifty (50) entrants whose Submission the qualified judges determine to have the highest ranking via an application of the Judging Criteria will each be a Finalist. Subject to the Finalist's compliance with these Official Rules, the Finalist whose Finalist Submission the judges determine to have the highest ranking via an application of the Judging Criteria will be the potential Grand Prize winner. The five (5) Finalists whose Finalist Submission the judges determine to have the next highest scores via an application of the Judging Criteria will each be potential First Prize winners.

For the Submission or Finalist Submission Phase: Multiple raters are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any rater to submit more than the stated number of ratings by using multiple/different email addresses, identities or any other method will void that person's Submission(s) (if any) and ratings (if possible) and he/she will be disqualified from further participation in the Contest. Use of script, macro or any other automated system to rate Submissions is prohibited and all such ratings will be void. Released Parties (as defined in Section 9 below) are not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, garbled, delayed, invalid, unintelligible or misdirected ratings, which will be void. In the event of a dispute as to any rating, the authorized account holder of the email address used to rate Submissions will be deemed to be the rater. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address.

7. Winner Requirements: Each potential Finalist will be notified of his/her status on or around April 29, 2009 and will be required to respond to Sponsor with his/her valid home mailing address (P.O. Boxes not permitted) within twenty four (24) hours of the time notice or attempted notice was sent. Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, contact entrants prior to April 29, 2009 and request a valid home mailing address (P.O. Boxes not permitted) in order to pre-qualify each as a potential Finalist. To be considered a Finalist, an entrant must (a) be notified by Sponsor as a Finalist and (b) respond to Sponsor with his/her valid home mailing address (P.O. Boxes not permitted) within the timeframe noted above or otherwise designated by Sponsor. Upon responding with his/her valid home mailing address (P.O. Boxes not permitted) within the timeframe set forth above, each Finalist will be sent an Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability and Publicity Release ("Affidavit") that each Finalist will have to return to Administrator by May 17, 2009 in order to be eligible to receive the Finalist Submission Prize. Additionally, each Finalist must also submit a qualifying Finalist Submission (per Section 5, above) to be eligible to receive a Finalist Submission Prize. Failure to return the Affidavit or submit the Finalist Submission within the required timeframes will result in disqualification, and the corresponding Finalist Submission Prize will not be awarded. Each potential Grand and First Prize winner will be notified by mail, email or phone on or around June 4, 2009. Each potential Grand and First Prize winner (parent/legal guardian if a minor in his/her state of residence) will be required to execute and return to Administrator, within ten (10) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent, an Affidavit in order to claim his/her prize. If a potential Finalist or potential winner cannot be contacted within a reasonable time period, fails to execute and return the Affidavit within the required time period (if applicable), fails to respond with a valid home mailing address within the required time period (if applicable), is not in compliance with these Official Rules, or prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, such person forfeits the prize. If a potential Finalist or potential winner is disqualified for any reason, the prize may be awarded to a runner-up, if any, at Sponsor's sole discretion. Only three (3) alternate winners will be selected through this process, after which the applicable prize will remain un-awarded. Acceptance of any prize shall constitute and signify Finalist and/or winner's agreement and consent that Sponsor and its designees may use the winner's, name, city, state, likeness, photo, Submission and/or prize information in connection with the Contest for promotional, advertising or other purposes, worldwide, in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, including the Internet, without limitation and without further payment, notification, permission or other consideration, except where prohibited by law.
