<p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;"><strong>PAYMENT TERMS: </strong>Full payment, including any applicable tax, is due in advance or at show site. A $25.00 administrative fee will be applied to any refund based on the overpayment of the check. All payments must be in U.S. funds and all checks must be drawn on a U.S. Bank. Orders received without advance payment or after the deadline date will incur additional (standard) charges as indicated on each order form. All materials and equipment are on a rental basis for the duration of the show or event and remain the property of MCS except where specifically identified as a sale. All MCS rentals include delivery, installation, and removal from Exhibitor’s booth. In case of cancellation, a one hour “per person, per hour” charge will be applied to all labor orders that are not canceled in writing to MCS directly at least 2-3 business days prior to the storefront closing on the exhibitor kit. If services have already been provided at the time of cancellation, a 100% cancellation fee will be applied to all MCS rental items and services. Cancellations made the day of the event and/or after services have already been rendered, regardless of use or not, will not receive a refund of any kind and is expected to pay in full. Cancellations are accepted 2-3 business days before exhibitor kit storefront closing date and MCS needs to be notified DIRECTLY in writing, otherwise the order(s) will not be cancelled and the Exhibitor will be charged in full. We will not do any refunds the day of the show and/or after products or services have already been rendered, regardless of use or not, per our cancellation policy. It is Exhibitor’s responsibility to advise MCS personnel of any problem with any orders and to check invoices for accuracy prior to the close of the exhibit. All orders must have a credit card on file prior to show date. If no credit card is on file, MCS is not liable to have any products or services rendered upon show date. If Exhibitor is exempt from payment of sales tax, MCS requires an exemptions certificate for the state in which the services are to be used. Resale certificates are not valid unless Exhibitor is rebilling these charges to its customers. For International Exhibitors, MCS requires 100% prepayment of advance orders; any orders or services placed at show site must be paid at the show. For outbound shipping only, should there be any pre-approved unpaid balance with credit card on file after the close of the show, terms will be net 15 due and payable upon receipt of invoice. Effective 15 days after invoice date, any unpaid balance will bear a Finance Charge at the lesser of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, or 1.5% per month, which is an Annual Percentage Rate of 18% and future orders will be on a pre-paid basis only. If any finance charge hereunder exceeds the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, the finance charge shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate allowed, and any excess finance charge received by MCS shall either be applied to reduce the principal unpaid balance or be refunded to the payer. These payment Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Illinois. In the event of any dispute between Exhibitor and MCS relative to any loss, damage or claim, such Exhibitor shall not be entitled to and shall not withhold payment, or any partial payment, due to MCS for its services as an offset against the amount of any alleged loss or damage. Any claim against MCS shall be considered a separate transaction and shall be resolved on its own merits. MCS reserves the right to charge Exhibitor for the difference between the Exhibitor’s estimate of charges and the actual charges incurred by Exhibitor, or for any charges that MCS may be obligated to pay on behalf of Exhibitor, including without limitation, any shipping charges. If Exhibitor provides a credit card for payment and charges are rejected by the Exhibitor’s credit card company for any reason, MCS hereby provides notice that it reserves the right, and Exhibitor authorized MCS, to continue to attempt to secure payment through that credit card for as long as unpaid balances remain on Exhibitor’s account.</span></p>

<h1><span style="text-align: center; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">FREIGHT HANDLING TERMS & CONDITIONS</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">MCS and its subcontractors shall not be liable for damage, loss or delay to uncrated freight, freight improperly packed, glass breakage or concealed damage. Crates and packaging should be of a design to adequately protect contents for handling by forklift and similar means.</span></p>
<ol>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;"><span>Relative to inbound shipment(s), there may be a lapse of time between the delivery of shipment(s) to the booth by MCS or its subcontractors and the arrival of the Exhibitor’s representative at the booth. Similarly, relative to outgoing shipment(s), it is possible that there will be a lapse of time between the completion of packing and the actual pickup of freight from the booth for loading onto a carrier. It is understood that during such times the shipment(s) will be left in the booth unattended. Therefore, it is agreed that MCS and its subcontractors are not liable for the loss of, disappearance of or damage to Exhibitor’s freight after the same has been delivered to Exhibitor’s booth, nor are MCS and its subcontractors liable for Exhibitor’s freight before it is picked up </span>from<span> the Exhibitor’s booth for loading after the show. Consequently, all bills of lading covering outgoing shipment(s) submitted to MCS or its subcontractors by Exhibitor will be checked at the time of pickup from the booth and corrected where discrepancies exist</span>.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">MCS and its subcontractors shall not be liable for any damage incurred during the handling of equipment requiring special devices to properly load, place or reload unless 14 days advance notice has been given to MCS in time to obtain the proper equipment.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">MCS and its subcontractors shall not be liable for any loss, delay or damage due to events beyond their reasonable control which cannot be avoided by the exercise of due care and prudence, including but without limitation to, strikes, labor disputes, lockouts or work stoppages of any kind, fire theft, windstorm, water, vandalism, acts of God, mysterious failure of power or utilities and other events of force of nature.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">MCS and its subcontractors shall not be liable for ordinary wear and tear in the handling of equipment.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">It is understood that MCS and its subcontractors are not insurers. Insurance, if any, shall be obtained by the Exhibitor. Amounts payable by MCS hereunder are based on the scope of the liability as herein set forth and are unrelated to the value of the Exhibitor’s property. It is further understood and agreed that MCS and its subcontractors do not provide for full liability should loss or damage occur. In the event that MCS or its subcontractors should be found liable for loss or damage to Exhibitor’s equipment, the liability shall be limited to the specific article that was physically lost or damaged. Such liability shall be limited to a sum equal to $.10 per pound per article, with a maximum liability of $50.00 per item or $1,000.00 per shipment, whichever is less, as agreed upon damages and exclusive remedy. Provisions of this paragraph shall apply if loss or damage, regardless of cause or origin, results directly or indirectly to the property through performance or nonperformance of obligations imposed by the offering of services to Exhibitors or from negligence, active or otherwise, by MCS, its subcontractors or their employees.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">Be sure your freight is insured from the time it leaves your firm until it is returned after the show. It is suggested that Exhibitors arrange all risk coverage. This can usually be done by riders to existing policies. Contact your insurance representative. Be sure your liability insurance is in effect during transit and return of your freight, during storage and at show site.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">MCS and its subcontractors shall not be liable to any extent whatsoever for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to, delay any actual, potential or assumed loss of profits or revenues, loss of use of equipment or products or any collateral costs that may result from any loss, injury or damage to Exhibitor’s materials or exhibitor personnel, which may make it impossible or impractical to exhibit the Exhibitor’s materials.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">Claims for loss or damage must be submitted to MCS immediately at the show site, and in any case not later than thirty (30) business days after the conclusion of the event. Any and all claims reported after thirty (30) days will be rejected. No suit or action shall be brought against MCS or its subcontractors more than one year after the cause of action accrues.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">The Exhibitor agrees, in connection with the receipt, handling, temporary storage and reloading of its freight, that MCS and its subcontractors will provide these services as Exhibitor’s agent and not as bailee or shipper. If any employee of MCS or its subcontractors shall sign a delivery receipt, bill of lading or other documents, the parties agree that MCS or its subcontractor will do so as the Exhibitor’s agent and the Exhibitor accepts the responsibility thereof.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">MCS and its subcontractors shall not be liable for shipments received without receipts, freight bills or specified unit counts on receipts or freight bills, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL or van lines. Such shipments will be delivered to the booth without guarantee of piece count or condition.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">Empty container labels will be available at the MCS Exhibitor Service Desk. Affixing the labels is the sole responsibility of the Exhibitor or its representative. It is understood that these labels are used for EMPTY STORAGE ONLY. MCS assumes no responsibility for error in preceding procedures, removal of containers with old empty labels and without MCS labels or improper information on labels. MCS and its subcontractors assume no responsibility or liability for loss or damage to contents while containers are in storage or for mislabeled containers.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">In order to expedite removal of freight from the show site, MCS shall have the authority to change designated carriers, if such carriers do not pick up on time. Where no disposition is made by the Exhibitor, freight will be taken to a warehouse to await Exhibitor’s shipping instructions, and the Exhibitor agrees to be responsible for payment of charges relating to such handling at the warehouse. MCS assumes no liability as a result of such rerouting or handling.</span></li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 10px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 8pt;">The Exhibitor agrees, in the event of a dispute with MCS or its subcontractors relative to any loss or damage to any of the Exhibitor’s freight or equipment, that the Exhibitor will not withhold payment in any amount due to MCS for freight handling services or any other services provided by MCS or its subcontractors as an offset against the amount of the alleged loss of damage. Instead, the Exhibitor agrees to pay MCS prior to the close of the show for all such charges and further agrees that any claim the Exhibitor may have against MCS or its subcontractors shall be pursued independently by the Exhibitor as completely separate.</span></li>
