The Promotion consists of an eDecoder game (the "eDecoder Game") and a Prize Draw (the "Prize Draw").

2. Sponsor: World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., 1241 East Main Street, Stamford, CT 06092. Administrator: ePrize, LLC, One ePrize Drive, Pleasant Ridge, MI 48069.

3. Agreement to Official Rules: By participating in the Promotion, each entrant fully and unconditionally agrees to and accepts these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion and are not subject to appeal.

4. Timing: The Promotion will begin February 15, 2006 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time ("ET"), and will end at 11:59 p.m. ET on April 2, 2006 (the "Promotion Period"). All Prize Draw entries must be received by 12:00 a.m. ET on March 8, 2006. Administrator's computer is the official time keeping device for this Promotion.

5. How to Enter the Promotion: NO PURCHASE REQUIRED TO ENTER OR TO WIN. A PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. MANY WILL ENTER, FEW WILL WIN.

You will need an eDecoder to play the eDecoder Game. eDecoders will be distributed during the Promotion Period at various World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. events, including select live events and the WrestleMania Fan Axxess Tour, as well as at select movie theaters in Canada. Alternatively, you can obtain a virtual eDecoder online when you enter the Promotion. To enter the Promotion, go to http://www.wrestlemania.com during the Promotion Period and follow the directions for entry. Fill out the entry form completely and submit the form. If you did not receive an eDecoder in person, do not check the "Yes I have an eDecoder" box when submitting your entry form. Once you submit the entry form, you will automatically receive one (1) entry into the Prize Draw (provided your entry is submitted on or before 12:00 a.m. ET on March 8, 2006) and one (1) eDecoder Game play (provided your entry is submitted on or before 11:59 p.m. ET on April 2, 2006; entries submitted during the Promotion Period, but after 12:00 a.m. ET on March 8, 2006 will only receive an eDecoder Game Play). In all cases, you then automatically will advance to the eDecoder Game Page. To play the eDecoder Game:

1) If you have an eDecoder and checked the "I do have an eDecoder" box on the registration page, place your eDecoder over the scrambled message displayed on your computer monitor to reveal the hidden image; or

2) If you did not check the "I do have an eDecoder" box on the registration page, use your mouse to drag the online eDecoder over the scrambled message to reveal the hidden image.

You will be responsible for the incidental costs of airtime and telephone time incurred when logging onto the web site to register and browse as charged by your telephone and internet providers. The eDecoder Game results will be instantly displayed. Entrants will be notified immediately by e-mail if they are potential winners of the eDecoder Game and will be provided directions for validation.

All potential winners are subject to verification before any prize will be awarded. Administrator is responsible for the functionality of the eDecoder Game. Limit: Each participant may enter/play one (1) time per day during the Promotion Period (except, that one additional daily chance to play the eDecoder Game may be earned through the Tell A Friend Program described below). Multiple participants are not permitted to share the same e-mail address. Any attempt by any participant to obtain more than the stated number of plays/entries by using multiple/different e-mail addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that participant's plays/entries and that participant may be disqualified. All Prize Draw entries must be received by 12:00 a.m. ET on March 8, 2006 and all eDecoder Game Plays must take place during the Promotion Period. Use of any automated system to submit entries is prohibited and will result in disqualification. In the event of a dispute as to any online entry, the authorized account holder of the e-mail address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. The "authorized account holder" is the natural person assigned an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted address. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

Tell A Friend Program: After you play the eDecoder Game, you will be invited to submit the names and e-mail addresses of up to three (3) friends who must be eligible to enter the Promotion. Each person that you refer will receive an e-mail solely notifying them about the Promotion. The e-mail will be sent directly from you to each friend and neither the Sponsor nor the Administrator will contact any friend or collect any information about any friend unless a friend later participates in the Promotion. You may only refer persons with whom you have an existing relationship and from whom you have obtained positive consent (via e-mail or other documented authorization) to receive the e-mail. Sending an e-mail to someone who has not expressly consented to receive the e-mail is a violation of applicable law, will result in disqualification from the Promotion, and may result in legal action against you. For the first friend referral with a valid e-mail address that you make each day during the Promotion Period, you will receive one (1) additional opportunity to play the eDecoder Game for a total of one (1) additional eDecoder Game play per day through the Tell a Friend Program during the Promotion Period. Participation in the Tell A Friend Program is not required to enter or to win.

6. ALL POTENTIAL EDECODER GAME WINNERS AND PRIZE DRAW WINNERS ARE SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION BY SPONSOR OR ADMINISTRATOR, WHOSE DECISIONS ARE FINAL AND BINDING IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROMOTION. AN ENTRANT IS NOT A WINNER OF ANY PRIZE, EVEN IF THE EDECODER GAME OR PRIZE DRAW SHOULD SO INDICATE, UNLESS AND UNTIL ENTRANT'S ELIGIBILITY AND THE POTENTIAL EDECODER GAME AND/OR PRIZE DRAW WINNER HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AND ENTRANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. SPONSOR AND ADMINISTRATOR WILL NOT ACCEPT SCREEN SHOTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF WINNING IN LIEU OF THEIR VALIDATION PROCESS. ANY PLAY THAT OCCURS AFTER THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR ANY REASON IS DEEMED A DEFECTIVE PLAY AND IS VOID AND WILL NOT BE HONORED.

7. Prize Draw/eDecoder Game: All selected winners must comply with all terms and conditions of these Official Rules, and winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements. Administrator is an independent judging organization whose decisions as to the administration and operation of the Promotion and the selection and validation of potential winners are final and binding. Prize Draw: Administrator will randomly select the two (2) potential Prize Draw winners on or about March 9, 2006 from all eligible entries received. The Prize Draw will take place at One ePrize Drive, Pleasant Ridge, MI 48069, U.S.A. Reasonable attempts will be made to personally contact all potential Prize Draw winners by mail, e-mail, or telephone. Except where prohibited, the winners of the Prize Draw must sign (or have his/her parent/legal guardian sign if winner is a minor in his/her state, province or jurisdiction of residence) and return, within three (3) days of being notified, an Affidavit of Eligibility and liability/publicity release (except where prohibited by law) if US resident ("Affidavit"), a Declaration of Compliance if Canadian resident ("Declaration"), or a Confirmation of Eligibility and liability/publicity release if United Kingdom resident ("Confirmation"), in order to claim his/her prize. Residents of Canada also will have to correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill testing question without assistance of any kind if they are to be declared a winner. If a potential winner selected for the Prize Draw Grand Prize cannot be contacted in person via telephone, e-mail or mail within three (3) days after the first attempt to contact him/her or if he/she fails to sign and return the Affidavit, Declaration or Confirmation within the required time period (where applicable), or, in the case of Canadian residents, he/she fails to correctly answer the mathematical skill testing question, he/she will be disqualified and an alternate entrant will be selected in his/her place in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received. eDecoder Game: Ten Thousand (10,000) random, computer-generated winning times, one (1) for each of the eDecoder Game prizes listed in paragraph 8 below will be generated. If you are the first player to play the eDecoder Game at or after any one (1) of the randomly generated times you will be a potential instant winner of the prize indicated. eDecoder prizes will be sent by mail or e-mail 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of the Promotion. Potential winners of all prizes for Canada will be required to correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill testing question without any assistance in order to be eligible to receive a prize or prize will be forfeited and an alternate entrant will be selected in his/her place in accordance with these Official Rules. eDecoder Game prize winners from Canada will receive their prizes the latter of 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of the Promotion or 2-3 weeks after correctly answering the mathematical skill testing question.
