Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling in a timely manner all requirements set forth herein.

  4. Timing: The Drawing begins at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time (“EDT”) on April 04, 2006 and ends at 9:00 a.m. EDT on May 15, 2006 (the “Drawing Period”).

    A. Enter online: During the Drawing Period, visit www.ati.com/springloaded and follow the entry instructions, which include providing your name, email address, mailing address and phone number. Limit: one (1) entry per person (see Paragraph 6 for drawing information).

    B. Refer a Friend: After you have submitted the requested information online, you will be invited to submit the names and e-mail addresses of up to five (5) friends. Each person that you refer will receive an email notifying him/her of the Drawing. The e-mail will be sent directly from your e-mail account to each friend. Sponsor will not collect any information about any friend unless a friend later enters the Drawing. You may only refer persons with whom you have an existing relationship. You may not refer any person who has previously indicated to you that he or she does not wish to receive emails of this nature from you. You will be given one (1) additional entry into the Drawing for each friend you refer. Limit: five (5) additional entries per entrant. You also will receive one (1) entry into a bonus drawing (“Bonus Drawing”), regardless of the number of friends you refer. Limit one (1) entry into the Bonus Drawing per entrant. The Bonus Drawing is a component of the Drawing and is subject to these Official Rules.

    C. Mail-In Method for Additional Entries Into Drawing and Entry Into Bonus Drawing: To obtain up to five (5) additional entries into the Drawing and one (1) entry into the Bonus Drawing without referring a friend, hand-print your full name, complete address, phone number, and email address (if any) on an index card, and mail it to: Attention: Spring Loaded CrossFire™ Bundle Drawing, ATI Technologies Inc., 55 Commerce Valley Drive West, Markham, Ontario, Canada, L3T 7V9 . Mailed entries must be postmarked by May 15, 2006, and must be received by May 18, 2006. Proof of sending will not be deemed proof of receipt by Sponsor. No mechanically reproduced mail-in entries will be accepted.

    D. For Additional Entries Into the Drawing: Entrants are limited to five (5) total additional entries into the Drawing, whether those entries are obtained through one of the two methods of obtaining additional entries described above or through both methods combined. Thus, for example, an entrant that refers two (2) friends will receive two (2) additional entries, and will receive three (3) additional entries if the entrant submits a request in accordance with the mail-in method described above.

    E. For All Methods of Entry: Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, or misdirected entries, which will be disqualified. All entries become the property of Sponsor. In the event of a dispute as to any entry, the authorized account holder of the email address used to enter will be deemed to be the entrant. 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. Potential winners may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.

    DRAWINGS: At or around 12:00 p.m. EDT on May 20, 2006, Sponsor will randomly select the names of nine (9) potential winners of the Drawing from all eligible entries. At or around 12:00 p.m. EDT on May 20, 2006, Sponsor will randomly select the names of one (1) potential winners of the Bonus Drawing from all eligible entries for the Bonus Drawing. The odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. The potential winners will be notified by e-mail or telephone after the drawings.

    For Residents of Canada Only: Potential winners who are legal residents of Canada will be required to correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill testing question (administered by telephone) without any assistance in order to receive a prize.

  6. REQUIREMENTS OF THE POTENTIAL WINNERS: Except where prohibited, potential winners will be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility and liability/publicity release (the “Affidavit/Release”) and return the Affidavit/Release to Sponsor within fourteen (14) days of being notified. Potential winners who reside in the United States must provide their social security numbers for purposes of shipping the prizes into the United States. If the potential winner does not respond to Sponsor within seven (7) days after the first attempt to contact him/her or fails to sign and return the Affidavit/Release within the required time period, or is otherwise ineligible to receive the prize, an alternate entrant will be selected in his/her place in a random drawing of all remaining entries.

Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
