• Provide a Certificate of Insurance to AAAR no later than September 16, 2005.

The services of a security guard will be obtained; however, this does not guarantee exhibitors against
loss by theft or otherwise.

It is expressly agreed upon that all payments for said exhibition space must be made to AAAR in a
timely manner. AAAR reserves the right to refuse an exhibitor their exhibition space for reasons of nonpayment and/or unpaid balance at time of installation. Any waivers, discounts, or financial
amendments of any nature whatsoever are left to the sole discretion of AAAR.

Should an exhibitor be unable to occupy and/or use the exhibit space contracted for, and should that exhibitor notify AAAR (in writing) before August 31, 2005, 50% of fees paid by the exhibitor will be
refunded. No refund of any fees will be made if notice is received on or after August 31, 2005. If the exhibit is on hand, the exposition management reserves the right to assign labor to install any
display that is not in the process of being installed by the given deadline, or to ship the display back to
the exhibiting organization and to instruct that the exhibitor be billed for all charges thus incurred.

It is expressly understood that AAAR, Association Headquarters and the Hilton Austin will not be
responsible for loss or damage which might ensue from any cause in connection with transfer,
installation, maintenance, removal of exhibits or management of convention. AAAR will not be
responsible in any way for goods while in storage. AAAR, the Hilton Austin, Association Headquarters,
and its agents or employees will not, under any condition or circumstances, be responsible for any
loss sustained by any exhibitor or any other person by reason of fire, theft, water, injuries, act of God, or
for any actions whatsoever.

AAAR, Association Headquarters and the Hilton Austin will use necessary reasonable care for
prevention of any losses, personal or material. Each exhibitor agrees that it shall assume sole
responsibility for any damages to property or injuries to person, and shall indemnify, defend, and
hold harmless AAAR, the security firm, the hotel, the general contractor, and all of their collective officers, employees, agents, and members for any and all alleged claims and liabilities which might ensue from any cause whatsoever, including any actions of any kind generally, and specifically, personal injuries to any exhibitors, officers, staff members, employees, agents, representatives, attendees, and guests. It is understood that all fees, costs, and expenses incurred by an exhibitor as a result of legal action shall be the sole responsibility of the exhibitor, and reimbursement shall not be sought against AAAR. AAAR shall be reimbursed by the seeking exhibitor for costs, fees, and expenses that are incurred and expended resulting from any action. Exhibitors shall affect their own insurance.

All matters not expressly addressed in this document are subject to review and resolution by AAAR management.

Hilton Austin’s display rules and regulations are based on a philosophy that all exhibitors should be
given an equal opportunity to present their product to their audience in an effective manner.
