[[COMPANY NAME], a [STATE OF ORGANIZATION] [ENTITY TYPE] with


offices located at [BUSINESS ADDRESS] (the "Company")/[PHOTOGRAPHER NAME]
("Photographer")] desires to [photograph and] use the likeness[,/and] [name][,/and] [fictitious
name] of the individual named below ("I" or "me").

For [the intangible value I will gain by my engagement as a model/[RECITAL OF


OTHER CONSIDERATION]] [and other] good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which I hereby acknowledge, I irrevocably grant [Company/Photographer] my
permission and the right to [photograph me, and to use any and all photographic or other images
taken of me, [on [DATE] at [LOCATION]]/use the photographs of me set out in Exhibit A,
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference], including finished pictures, negatives,
transparencies, proofs, reproductions, copies of the original prints and negatives, and digital
information pertaining to them (collectively, the "Images") according to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Model Release and Consent Agreement ("Agreement").

I hereby irrevocably permit, authorize, and license [Company/Photographer] and


[its/their] [affiliates,] legal representatives, successors, licensees, agents, assigns, [those for
whom Photographer is acting,] and those acting on [Company's/Photographer's] behalf
("Authorized Persons") to use, re-use, publish, and re-publish the Images, either separately or
together and either in whole or in part, [and my own [and fictitious] name[s]][, provided such use
of my own [and fictitious] name[s] shall be limited to identifying me as the subject thereof, and
shall not extend to the endorsement of any commercial product or service,] and all materials
created by or on behalf of the Authorized Persons that incorporate any of the foregoing
("Materials") for [any purpose whatsoever [(except pornographic or defamatory)]/advertising,
promotion, and other commercial and business purposes/[SPECIFIC PURPOSE]] [in connection
with [Company and its affiliates and their businesses, products, and services/Company's
[DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY'S PRODUCT OR SERVICE]]] in perpetuity throughout the
world in any and all media and formats and by any and all technologies and means of delivery
whether now or hereafter known or devised without further consent from or any royalty,
payment, or other compensation to me [except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement]. I specifically consent to the use of the Images with other images, text, graphics,
film, audio, and audiovisual works. I acknowledge and agree that the Images may be altered or
modified without any restrictions, whether by traditional photographic techniques or digitally,
including retouching, creating composite, blurred, or distorted representations, and changing
color, size, shape, perspective, context, foreground, or background.

[Company/Photographer] is and will be the exclusive owner of all rights in the


Images and Materials. I hereby irrevocably transfer, assign, and otherwise convey to
[Company/Photographer] my entire right, title, and interest, if any, in and to the Images and
Materials and all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the Images and Materials
arising in any jurisdiction throughout the world in perpetuity, including all registration, renewal,
and reversion rights, and the right to sue to enforce such rights against infringers.

[Company/Photographer] has no obligation to use the Images or to exercise any


rights granted under this Agreement. I acknowledge and agree that I have no right to review or
approve the Images or the Materials, including any written copy or other materials that may be
used in connection therewith, before they are used by [Company/Photographer] or at any other
time, and that [Company/Photographer] has no liability to me for any editing or alteration of the
Images or the Materials, or for any distortion or other effects that may occur or be produced in
connection with the taking of such Images or [Company's/Photographer's] processing, editing,
alteration, transmission, display, publication, or other use of the Images or the Materials.
Acknowledgment or credit of me in connection with the Images or the Materials, if any, shall be
determined by [Company/Photographer] in [Company's/Photographer's] sole discretion.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I hereby irrevocably waive all
legal and equitable rights relating to all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, suits, damages, and
expenses, including but not limited to claims for copyright or trademark infringement,
infringement of moral rights, libel, defamation, invasion of any rights of privacy (including
intrusion, false light, public disclosure of private facts, and misappropriation of name or
likeness), violation of rights of publicity, physical or emotional injury or distress, or any similar
claim or cause of action in tort, contract, or any other legal theory, now known or hereafter
known in any jurisdiction throughout the world (collectively, "Claims") arising directly or
indirectly from the Authorized Persons' exercise of their rights under this Agreement or the
production, exhibition, advertising, promotion, exploitation, or other use of the Images, and
whether resulting in whole or in part from the negligence of [Company/Photographer] or any
other person, covenant not to make or bring any such Claims against any Authorized Persons and
their agents, employees, and representatives, and forever release and discharge the Authorized
Persons from liability under such Claims. I understand that [Company/Photographer] is relying
on this Agreement and will incur significant expense in reliance on this Agreement, and I agree
that this Agreement cannot be terminated, rescinded, or modified, in whole or in part.

I represent and warrant to [Company/Photographer] that I am at least 18 years of


age and that I have full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and grant the
rights granted hereunder. [I further represent and warrant to [Company/Photographer] that the
Authorized Persons' use of the Images and the rights and license granted hereunder do not, and
will not, violate any right of, or conflict with or violate any contract or agreement with or
commitment made to, any person or entity, and that no consent or authorization from, or any
payment to, any third party is required in connection herewith.] [I will defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless the Authorized Persons from and against all Claims by third parties resulting from
my breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any of the representations and warranties
contained herein.]

For purposes of this Agreement, the word "including" is deemed to be followed


by the words "without limitation," and the word "or" is not exclusive. This Agreement
constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement regarding the subject
matter herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements,
representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter.
[Company/Photographer] may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder, in
whole or in part, to any party. This Agreement will be binding on and will inure to my benefit
and the benefit of [Company/Photographer] and our respective heirs, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. All matters arising out of or relating to
this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the

State of [RELEVANT STATE] without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision
or rule (whether of the State of [RELEVANT STATE] or any other jurisdiction). Any claim or
cause of action arising under this Agreement may be brought only in the federal and state courts
located in [EXCLUSIVE VENUE], and I hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
of such courts.
