9. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION:

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

(a) Agreement to Arbitrate: This Section is referred to in these Official Rules as the “Arbitration

Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you,

Administrator and Sponsor, whether arising out of, or relating to, these Official Rules, the Promotion,

your participation in the Promotion, the prize, acceptance, possession, use or misuse of any prize,

advertising or any aspect of the relationship between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and

binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except

that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration

Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies,

and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You expressly agree that,

by participating in this Promotion, you, Administrator and Sponsor are each waiving the right to a trial by

jury or to participate in any class action claim or lawsuit. Your rights will be determined by a neutral

arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement

of this Arbitration Agreement.

(b) Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: YOU,

ADMINISTRATOR AND SPONSOR AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST

THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS

MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

UNLESS BOTH, YOU, ADMINISTRATOR AND SPONSOR, AS APPLICABLE, OTHERWISE

AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN

ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY

FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE

ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND

DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF

AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT

PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).6

(c) Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: Sponsor and Administrator are always interested in resolving

disputes amicably and efficiently, and most participant concerns can be resolved quickly and to the

participant’s satisfaction by emailing Administrator’s support team at [email protected].

If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by

certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (the “Notice”). The Notice to Sponsor and/or Administrator

should be sent to Chicago Blackhawk Hockey Team, Inc., 1901 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois

60612, Attention: General Counsel. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or

dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Sponsor, Administrator and you do not resolve the

claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you, Administrator or Sponsor may

commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by

Sponsor, Administrator or you may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines

the amount, if any, to which you, Administrator or Sponsor are entitled.

(d) Arbitration Procedures: Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with

the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s

Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified

by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org.

Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer

arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term

of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration

Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration

Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the

provisions of these Official Rules as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including,

but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration

Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and

other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis

that a court can award to an individual under these Official Rules and applicable law. Decisions by the

arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless Sponsor, Administrator and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a

reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other

pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made

by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Sponsor and Administrator agree that you may choose

whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator,

through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim

exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner

in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient in

detail to explain the essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based.

(e) Costs of Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed

by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’

fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

(f) Confidentiality: All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by

the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

(g) Severability: If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration

Agreement other than clause (b) above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term7

or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing

the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be

enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause (b) is

invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void. The

remainder of these Official Rules will continue to apply.

(h) Conflict: If any conflict arises between any term or condition in this Section 9 and any term or

condition in the Official Rules, then the applicable term or condition in this Section 9 will apply.

10. ENTRANT’S PERSONAL INFORMATION: By entering the Promotion, you consent to the
