third party acting on the exhibitor’s behalf.

4. Even if a different invoice address has been listed by the exhibitor, the exhibitor remains jointly and
severally liable towards VNU Exhibitions for payment of all costs relating to his participation.

sum.

6. VNU Exhibitions has the right to set off payment for participation against sums still outstanding from
previous participations by the same exhibitor.

7. If the exhibitor fails to pay the participation fee or any other monies payable to VNU Exhibitions (in full)
prior to the commencement of the set-up period, despite a written or verbal notice or notice of default,
VNU Exhibitions has the right to deny the exhibitor access to the (set-up of the) exhibition and/or to regard
the participation agreement as terminated with immediate effect. In such a case the exhibitor will still be
required to pay the participation fee and all other monies payable to VNU Exhibitions in full without being
entitled to compensation of any costs incurred and/or loss and damage sustained due to his being denied
access to the exhibition and/or termination of the participation agreement.

Article 6 Cancellation and termination

1. Besides the grounds mentioned in paragraphs 2 to 4 inclusive of this article, the exhibitor may cancel his
registration by submission of the binding registration form or participation agreement only with due
observance of the following payment schedule:

• Cancellation up to 547 days (1.5 years) before the commencement of the exhibition: 25% of the participation fee;
• Cancellation from 547 up to 365 days (1 year) before the commencement of the exhibition: 50% of the participation fee;

• Cancellation from 182 days up to the day of the commencement of the exhibition: 100% of the participation fee.

‘Commencement of the exhibition’ is understood to mean the first day of the exhibition’s set-up period.
Cancellation shall be effected by the exhibitor by registered letter.

2. If after a reallocation of stand space by VNU Exhibitions, VNU Exhibitions does not offer the exhibitor a
comparable stand space (in accordance with the criteria stipulated in article 4.2), the exhibitor has the
right to cancel the participation agreement free of charge. Cancellation shall be effected in writing by
registered letter within 14 working days from the date of the written proposal by VNU Exhibitions
containing the alternative stand space(s).

3. If at any time following the conclusion of the participation agreement the exhibitor applies for suspension
of payments or files for bankruptcy, the participation agreement may be terminated by VNU Exhibitions by
the mere occurrence of such application or filing and the exhibitor will be required to pay the participation
fee in full as well as any other costs related to his participation incurred by or on behalf of VNU Exhibitions
at the exhibitor’s request, without prejudice to VNU Exhibitions’ right to claim costs, compensation for loss
and damage incurred and interest.

4. If at any time after the conclusion of the participation agreement VNU Exhibitions has sound reasons to
assume that the exhibitor’s participation in the exhibition will somehow prejudice VNU Exhibitions, the
exhibition or other exhibitors, VNU Exhibitions will have the right to terminate the participation agreement
by registered letter with immediate effect. In that case the exhibitor will still be required to pay the
participation fee in full as well as any other costs incurred by or on behalf of VNU Exhibitions at his request
in connection with his participation, without prejudice to VNU Exhibitions’ right to claim costs, loss and
damage and interest.

5. In determining the terms mentioned in this article, article 2.8 will be applicable.

cause for compensation by VNU Exhibitions to the exhibitor for any costs incurred or loss or damage
sustained.

Article 7 Additional products and services

1. VNU Exhibitions can offer additional products and services for the exhibition, whether or not against
payment.

2. Unless determined otherwise, these Terms and Conditions apply also to any additional products or services
supplied by, or on behalf of VNU Exhibitions. Unless determined otherwise, the general terms and
conditions of delivery issued by any third parties engaged to provide such additional products or services
do not apply.

3. If and to the extent applicable, VNU Exhibitions will determine the way in which publicity listings are to be
edited, and reserves the right to abridge the exhibitor’s details if necessary or to alter details submitted by
the exhibitor in any way that it sees fit, without stating reasons, if necessary.

4. If the exhibitor wishes to refer to products and/or services offered by him in his publicity statements, he
may refer to products and/or services only that come under his delivery schedule and which – in the
opinion of VNU Exhibitions – also fall under the exhibition programme of the exhibition concerned.

5. Any data generated by the use of services of VNU Exhibitions or any third parties selected by VNU
Exhibitions for the exhibitor or any data generated by the exhibitor by using these services may be used by
VNU Exhibitions. If these data are personal data as defined in the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act, the
parties will indemnify each other against all claims filed by either party on account of non-compliance by
the other party with statutory retention periods for personal data or breach of the laws or regulations on
the protection of personal data as a result of the use of personal data by the other party. The parties will
comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the protection and use of these personal data.
