3. JUDGING AND HONOREE SELECTION:  The Hero Award will be conducted through the following phases which are described below.

• “Quarterly Award”.  Following the conclusion of each business quarter, Cambium will select one (1) honoree per each of the four business regions to honor for that quarter (“Quarterly Honoree”) from among all accepted Nominations received prior to such quarter (and Nominations made in the immediately prior year may be considered for Quarterly or Annual Awards in the next year), based on the following criteria: a Nominee (i) personally took initiative to connect the unconnected with wireless, (ii) made an effort to provide wireless connectivity in a way that improved the lives of those who use the network, (iii) introduced a new wireless technology or solution never available before , (iv) whose efforts to provide wireless connectivity had a lasting value on individuals and/or their community, or (v) whose efforts to provide wireless connectivity serve as an inspiration to others (the “Criteria”).  Cambium will consider which Nominee best embodies these Criteria in its selection, and may in its sole discretion choose a Nominee who embodies some or all of these Criteria, in its sole discretion.  If, in Cambium’s sole discretion, no Nominees adequately embody the Criteria, Cambium may elect not to select a Quarterly Honoree for that particular quarter.  Following selection as a Quarterly Honoree, Cambium will contact the Quarterly Honoree to consent to the selection and approve the write-up that will be posted on Cambium’s website and social media channels.
• “Annual Award”.  After the close of each calendar year, a panel of judges will select an Annual Honoree (“Annual Honoree”) from among all Quarterly Honorees selected during that year, based on the one Quarterly Nominee who best embodies the Criteria.  If, in Cambium’s sole discretion, no Quarterly Honoree stands out among all Quarterly Honorees for that year, Cambium may elect not to select an Annual Honoree that year.  Following selection as an Annual Honoree, Cambium will contact the Annual Honoree to approve the new write-up that will be posted on Cambium’s website and social media channels.
