Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the JAMS Rules ) and under the terms set forth in these Official Rules. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section will control and prevail. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 9(d), you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Sponsor will have the opportunity for discovery of nonprivileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator s decision is

6 based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in these Official Rules, (i) you and Sponsor may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator s decision shall be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law. BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, EACH ENTRANT UNDERSTANDS THAT HE OR SHE AND SPONSOR WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. (b) Location. The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances. (c) Limitations. You and Sponsor agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between you and Sponsor individually. ENTRANT AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (C) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION. (d) Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Sponsor agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (i) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Sponsor s intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration. (e) Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If Sponsor is initiating arbitration for a Claim, Sponsor will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules. (f) Severability. You and Sponsor agree that if any portion of this Section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section (d)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section (d) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Sponsor will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section (d) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, State of California,

7 United States of America, and you and Sponsor agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. 10. Miscellaneous Conditions: You agree that the laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws, will govern the Sweepstakes and these Official Rules.
