----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Context, Inc, and affiliated companies (together, the "Company"), will conduct the Winquiry™ Contest substantially as described in these Rules, and by participating, each participant agrees as follows:

1. Description of Contest and Participation. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. PURCHASE DOES NOT INCREASE ODDS OF WINNING. Odds of winning a prize depend upon the number of participants that play during the give away time period. The prizes range in value from $10 to $250. The number of prizes awarded each day varies.

A. Dates of Contest: The Winquiry™ Contest periods run on a weekly basis beginning on Sunday and ending on the following Saturday between the dates of 3 September 2006 and 28 October 2006. The Contest may be terminated at the end of any contest period for ordinary reasons, or may be terminated during a Contest for extenuating circumstances. Any unawarded prize for a Contest that was terminated during the Contest's time period will be given to charity.

B. How to Enter: Participants can play anonymously or under a registered account at the Winquiry™ website (www.Winquiry.com). All players who win a prize must register and fill out and digitally sign a release. Registration requires a correct and valid e-mail address of the participant to be provided. Each participant is allowed to register only once and is limited to one Winquiry™ account. Incorrect registration information, registering multiple times, or not adhering to the Contest Rules will disqualify a participant from the Contest. Participant accounts cannot be transferred to other individuals. The Company, at their sole discretion, may deny individuals eligibility in the Contest for reasons they determine appropriate.

C. How to Play: The Contest offers three (3) methods for a participant to win a prize; they are 1) correctly answering daily questions; 2) providing Rate It opinions; 3) winning a tournament.

i. Daily Questions: A new set of questions is posted on the Winquiry™ website every day at approximately 12:00 AM EDT. The number of questions in a particular day's set may vary. Participants may visit the Winquiry™ website at anytime during the day to attempt to submit correct answers to the question set. Each correct answer submitted gives the participant one chance to win a prize. The order that questions are presented to participants may vary between participants. The order that the multiple choice answers for each question are presented to participants may vary between participants. All participants receive the same set of questions and answers each day, only the order may vary. Participants are not restricted to the number of times they may submit an answer for a given question, but prize chances are limited to each participant's first 50 correct answers per day. Questions can be found at http://www.Winquiry.com/.

ii. Rate It: Participants rate their interest level in products and services on a scale from 1 (not interested) to 7 (very interested). Each product rated gives the participant one chance to win a prize. Registered participants may rate a maximum of 15 items each day. Anonymous players may only rate a single product each day. Rate It can be found at http://www.Winquiry.com/rateit.cfm.

Winner Determination: A given prize is awarded to an eligible participant who submits the Nth submission (where N is a randomly selected number) of a correct daily question answer or Rate It opinion that day. In the event that the Nth correct answer is submitted by an ineligible participant, then the prize is reawarded through the Contest. Prizes are awarded every day of the Contest period and multiple prizes may be awarded each day.

iii. Tournaments: Tournaments are offered at various times on the Winquiry™ website. The next Tournament's start date and time, and prize can be found at http://www.speed4greed.com/Tournament.cfm when there is not a Tournament currently in progress. Tournaments are open to participants who have a valid Winquiry™ account and whose household has not won a prize from Winquiry™ during the current week.

Tournaments are question and answer format. Tournaments have a specific start time when the first question is shown to all participants. A Tournament is played in rounds, with participant eliminations between rounds. Participants are shown a question and given a specific amount of time to find and submit the correct answer. A limited number of players who submit a correct answer the quickest will proceed to the next round. Each subsequent Tournament round's question is shown to the remaining participants simultaneously. The time a participant takes to answer a question is calculated from the time the question was made available to all participants to the time when a participant submits their answer. This answer time is used to determine which participants are quickest and will proceed to the next round. The Tournament ends when a single participant is left or when all remaining participants submit an incorrect answer. In the case of a single participant remaining, they will be declaired the Tournament winner. In the case of all remaining participants submitting an incorrect answer, the winner will be chosen by random drawing from those remaining participants.

The format of Tournaments may vary; that is the number of rounds, the number of participants that proceed to the subsequent elimination rounds, the time allowed for submitting an answer, the number of multiple choice answers displayed for a question, and the number of participants allowed to enter the Tournament may vary.

Reward Levels™: Loyal Winquiry™ participants are rewarded by earning higher Reward Levels™. There are 4 Reward Levels™, from lowest to highest, they are: Diamond, Club, Heart, and Spade. Participants increase their Reward Level by correctly answering daily questions. One point is earned for every day that at least one of the current day's questions is correctly answered. Four points are lost for every week when at least one correct answer is not submitted. When a participant is logged in to their Winquiry™ account, they can view their current Reward Level on the My Account page. The number of points required to reach each Reward Level is shown in Table 1.

Referral Fee: When a new participant registers, they can enter another Winquiry™ participant's nickname as the referring party. Referrals cannot be entered retroactively; they must be entered when a new participant signs up for the first time. If a prize winner has an eligible participant entered as their referral, then the referring participant will receive a cash payment based on the referring participant's Reward Level. To collect a referral fee, the referral must be in place before a prize is won - if an anonymous participant wins a prize and creates an account to claim the prize, then no referral is distributed for that win, but future referral fees for that participant will be distributed as normal based on these rules. Both the prize winner and the participant collecting the referral fee must meet the Winquiry™ Contest eligibility requirements for participating in the Contest prior to the distribution of the referral fee. Participant households are limited to receiving a maximum of one referral fee per week. The referral fee payment for each Reward Level is shown in Table 2.
