arbitration in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth in these Official Rules (provided that

such location is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed

upon by the parties, in accordance with the procedural rules for commercial disputes set forth in the

Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”) then

prevailing, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court

having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures.

The arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable

statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In the event that the

DRAFT ONLY

claimant 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 claimant’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the

arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If

any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that

claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and

procedures established by JAMS, 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, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or

illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, then the entirety of this

arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither claimant nor Sponsor shall be entitled to

arbitrate their dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the

right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty days after the demand for arbitration

is made, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES

PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN THE ENTRANT’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A

PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE

ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY

BE SIMILARLY SITUATED. DO NOT ENTER THIS PROMOTION OR INDIVIDUAL SWEEPSTAKES IF YOU DO

NOT AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARBITRATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE OFFICIAL
