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 cause the application of the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the State of California.

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.
