9. GOVERNING LAW: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these
Official Rules or the rights and obligations of the participant or Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the state of Illinois without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions that would cause the
application of any other state's laws.
10. ARBITRATION DISCLOSURE: By participating in this Promotion in the fifty (50) United States and D.C. each Participant
agrees that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) Participant
may have against the Promotion Entities arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Sweepstakes, the awarding or redemption of prizes, or the
determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and conducted before a sole arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA
("Rules and Procedures"); (2) this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by
the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by AAA pursuant to the Rules and
Procedures (provided such location is reasonably convenient for Participant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed by the Participant and
Sponsor; (4) the arbitrator's decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of these Official Rules and any of the other agreements referenced
herein that the applicable Participant may have entered into in connection with the Sweepstakes; (5) the arbitrator shall apply Illinois law consistent with the
FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be
arbitrated on a class or representative basis, arbitration can decide only the Participant's and/or Sponsor's individual claims; the arbitrator may not
consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (7) the Participant and sponsor shall be entitled to recover
punitive, incidental and/or consequential damges only to the extent permitted by law; (8) in the event that the administrative fees and
deposits that must be paid to initiate arbitration against Sponsor exceed $125 USD for claims less than $10,000 or $375 for claims greater than $10,000 but
less than $75,000, and the Participant is unable (or not required under the applicable Rules and Procedures) to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this
amount, Sponsor agrees to pay them and/or forward them on the Participant's behalf, subject to ultimate allocation by the arbitrator. In addition, if the
Participant is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Sponsor will pay as much of the
Participant's filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being
cost-prohibitive; and (9) with the exception of subpart (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or
illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and
shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however,
subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither Sponsor nor
Participant shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information on AAA and/or AAA Rules and Procedures, Participants may visit the AAA Website
at http://www.adr.org, or contact AAA at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10019; Phone 212-716-5800, Fax: 212-716-5905, OR BY EMAIL AT

person. Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages and other remedies from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor reserves the
right, without prior notice and at any time, to terminate the Sweepstakes, in whole or in part, or modify or suspend the Sweepstakes in any way, if it

event that any provision is determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable or illegal, these rules shall otherwise remain in effect and shall be
construed in accordance with their terms as if the invalid or illegal provision were not contained herein.
