General Rules
In order to reserve a booth at the Exposition, Exhibitor must return the completed Exhibitor Registration Worksheet (“ERW”), to which these terms and conditions are attached and made a part of, executed by an authorized company representative and accompanied by a fifty percent (50%) deposit. Upon receipt of the ERW, YW will use its discretion to reserve space at YW (“Booth Space”) for Exhibitor. YW reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to determine the eligibility of exhibitors and exhibits for YW and to limit, reject or prohibit Exhibitors and/or exhibits that YW considers objectionable. In the event that an Exhibitor’s application for Booth Space is rejected due to objectionable content and the Exhibitor is not permitted to participate in YW, any Deposits or Booth Fees will be refunded. MBBE also reserves the right to re-arrange the floor plan and/or relocate Booth Space prior to the MBBE. Neither refunds nor discounts will be granted for relocated booths, as all booths are considered prime.

Exhibitor Fees
The total rental fee for Exhibitor shall be as set forth on the ERW. A 50% deposit (“Deposit”) of total Booth Fee is due at time of order to assign and hold Exhibitor’s space. The remaining balance of the Booth Fee must be paid in full by September
5th, 2005. For exhibit order placed and payments received after September 5th, 2007, the Booth Fee is due in full at the time of order. The Exhibitor application must accompany the payment. Failure to make payment in accordance herein shall result in (a) forfeiture of any license that may be granted to use the Booth Fee, (b) forfeiture of the Deposit and (c) Exhibitor remaining liability to yw for full payment of the Booth Fee.

Cancellation
In the event of show cancellation or postponement that is beyond the control of YW, whether it is by fire, vandalism, theft, construction, Act of God, or any other cause, Exhibitors will (a) if YW is rescheduled, be automatically moved to the rescheduled dates or (b) if YW is canceled, receive a full refund of its Deposit and/or Booth Fee, less the pro-rata share of expenses incurred by YW in connection with YW allocable to the Booth Space. All exhibitors will be notified as soon as reasonably possible in the event of a postponement or cancellation. Exhibitor shall be responsible for keeping its contact information (including address and telephone number) current with YW.

Exhibitor understands that the occupancy of the Booth Space is of the essence in this Agreement. Any cancellation by Exhibitor of Booth Space by the Exhibitor must be in writing and received by MBBE at lease thirty (30) days prior to the first day of the YW. CANCELLATIONS BY TELEPHOE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AND ARE NOT EFFECTIVE. In the event of a cancellation by Exhibitor in accordance with this paragraph, MBBE shall make a pro rata refund of the Booth Fee to the Exhibitor, less the Deposit, if and only if YW rents the Booth Space to another Exhibitor for a sum equivalent or greater than the Booth Fee. If the Exhibitor does not occupy the Booth Space upon the opening of the YW and has not given YW the required written notice of cancellation, YW shall have the right to use the Booth Space in such manner it may deem in its best interest.
