15. CHOICE OF LAW: All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity,
interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrants
and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law rules (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would

16. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of these Official Rules becomes or is declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, invalid or void, portions of such provision or
such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from these rules and such
court (or, if such court refuses to do so, the Sponsor) will replace such illegal, void or
unenforceable provision of these Official Rules with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the
illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of these Official Rules shall remain in place
and enforceable in accordance with their terms.

17. NO WAIVER: The failure of Sponsor to assert any right hereunder, or to insist upon
compliance with any term or condition of these Official Rules shall not constitute the waiver of
that right or excuse the subsequent performance or non-performance of any such term or
condition by entrant or constitute a waiver of Sponsor’s right to enforce these Official Rules.
