TERMS AND CONDITIONS This Application and Contract for Exhibit Space, Sponsorship, and/or Advertisement (this “Contract”), by and between PARTNERS Corporation. (“PARTNERS”) and the company or entity (“Company”) designated in this Contract’s application section (“Application”), governs Company’s rental and use of exhibit space, sponsorship, advertising and/or other participation, as specified in the Application (“Participation”) in any and all conferences, shows, or events (the “Events”). LOCATIONS AND DATES: The Events and your Participation are scheduled for the locations and dates specified in the Application only for the conference show, or event as is specified, “Events” refers to a single conference, show, or event. Company acknowledges and understands that the locations, hours, or dates may change and the Events and/or your Participation in the Events may be rescheduled. PARTNERS will attempt to provide reasonable notice to Company of any such changes. ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT: This Contract will only become binding when it is accepted by PARTNERS. No contract is created unless and until PARTNERS confirms via email this Contract. PARTNERS reserve the right, at its sole discretion, to decline acceptance of any Contract. PARTICIPATION ALLOCATIONS: a. Benefits and License. If selected, available and paid for by Exhibitor/Sponsor, PARTNERS will provide exhibit space (“Space”) at PARTNERS Conference for Exhibitor/Sponsor to display its qualified products and services (“Exhibit”) in the Space. If applicable, the Exhibitor/Sponsor fee includes the use of the Space and any of the benefits as specified herein. b. Space Assignment. The PARTNERS Conference will assign the Space to Exhibitor/Sponsor. The PARTNERS Conference reserves the right to change or modify the Space at any time. PARTNERS prohibits all audio/video recordings of PARTNERS Conference. No signs and activities of any type are permitted outside of an Exhibitor/Sponsor’s Space (columns, walls, floors and ceilings) without approval in writing from the PARTNERS Conference Providers. c. Sponsorship Deliverables. Exhibitor/Sponsor shall meet the deadlines and terms as set in the deliverables and entitlements document. Failure to meet the set deadlines forfeits the Exhibitor/ Sponsor to said deliverable and relieves PARTNERS from the responsibility on delivering said deliverable. d. Own Risk. Exhibitor/Sponsor shall have sole responsibility for any loss of its equipment, materials, or proprietary information, or any loss relating to any subrogation claims by its insurers. Persons visiting, viewing, or otherwise participating in the Space shall be deemed invitees of Exhibitor/ Sponsor and not those of the PARTNERS Conference Providers. e. Videotaping. Exhibitors/Sponsors shall not conduct videotaping sessions or bring video crews on-site. PARTICIPATION FEES: The fees for Company’s Participation in the Events (“Fees”) shall be as designated in the Application. For raw exhibit space, the fee only includes booth space and any items specifically designated in this Prospectus. All Fees are deemed fully earned and nonrefundable when the Contract is accepted, except as otherwise provided herein. PAYMENT: Unless otherwise specified in this Contract, payment of the Fees shall be made in U.S. currency by check, or by bank transfer payable to PARTNERS, and shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after PARTNERS’s invoice or prior to the start of the first Event, whichever is earlier. COMPANY MATERIALS: Any promotional and/or presentation materials to be provided by Company in connection with this Contract (e.g., slide shows for presentations, advertisements for conference publications) will be provided in a manner and format designated by PARTNERS. Company’s materials are subject to PARTNERS’s approval. PARTNERS shall have the right to reproduce, promote, distribute and otherwise use these materials in connection with the Events. PARTNERS is not granted any other rights to Company’s materials, and acknowledges that it shall not gain any proprietary interest in Company’s materials. Company represents and warrants that the materials do not and will not infringe on any third-party rights, including, without limitation, copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark and rights of publicity or privacy, and are not false,
misleading, deceptive, obscene or defamatory. TRADEMARKS: PARTNERS shall have the right to use Company’s trademarks to promote Company’s participation in and sponsorship of the Events, and to fulfill its obligations under this Contract. Any such use shall be in compliance with Company’s relevant trademark or corporate identity guidelines, and all goodwill shall inure to the benefit of Company. PARTNERS is not granted any other rights to Company’s trademarks, and acknowledges that it shall not gain any proprietary interest in Company’s trademarks. Company shall have the right to use PARTNERS’s trademarks that are associated with the Events only to promote Company’s participation in the Events. Any such use shall be in compliance with PARTNERS’s relevant trademark or corporate identity guidelines, and all goodwill shall inure to the benefit of PARTNERS. Company is not granted any other rights to PARTNERS’s trademarks, and acknowledges that it shall not gain any proprietary interest in PARTNERS’s trademarks. CANCELLATION BY COMPANY: Company’s cancellation of all or part of its Event Participation, as contracted for herein, must be sent in writing to Ignatius Alam, PARTNERS Show Management, Teradata, 10000 Innovation Drive, Miamisburg, OH 45342 via certified mail, return receipt requested, and is only effective upon PARTNERS’s actual receipt. If Company cancels more than ninety (90) days before event starts, Company shall be liable for fifty percent 50% of the Fees for the canceled Participation. In the event Company cancels less than ninety (90) days before an Event starts, Company shall be liable for one-hundred percent (100%) of the Fees for the canceled Participation. Company is responsible for payment of such Fees irrespective of the reason for cancellation. Company acknowledges that ascertaining damages incurred by PARTNERS if Company cancels its Participation is difficult, and that the Fees owed or retained under this Agreement after cancellation represent a fair and agreed measure of compensation and are not to be deemed or construed as a penalty or forfeiture. If Company cancels, PARTNERS shall have the right to replace Company with another participant. Company’s replacement or PARTNERS’s re-letting of Company’s canceled space shall not act to excuse Company from payment of any Fees earned or due hereunder. CANCELLATION BY PARTNERS: PARTNERS reserves the right to cancel any and all Events or to terminate this Contract or Company’s Participation in all or part of the Events for any reason at any time upon written notice to Company. Upon PARTNERS’s cancellation or termination, its sole liability to Company, and Company’s exclusive remedy, shall be a refund of the Fees paid by Company under this Contract for the Events in which Company is unable to participate due to such cancellation or termination. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither Party shall be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from failure to perform under this Contract or to conduct an Event as currently scheduled in whole or part as a result of riot, strike, labor dispute, acts, regulations or orders of governmental authorities, civil disorder, act of war, act of terrorism, failure of facilities, earthquake, storm, fire, flood, or other acts of God, or any reason of any kind whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of that Party. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Contract, if an Event is canceled by PARTNERS and not rescheduled in connection with a force majeure event, PARTNERS’s sole liability to Company, and Company’s exclusive remedy, shall be a refund of the Fees for that Event paid by Company under this Contract less a pro rata rate adjustment based on costs incurred by PARTNERS in connection with the canceled Event. INSTALLATION AND DISMANTLE: All displays and booth exhibits must be installed before, occupied during, and dismantled after the Event in accordance with the schedule provided by PARTNERS. Materials not removed from the exhibition area by Company as specified by PARTNERS will be removed by PARTNERS at Company’s expense and liability.

Company may not sublet, assign, or apportion any part of the exhibit space contracted for herein, nor represent, advertise, distribute literature for, or otherwise promote the products or services of any other firm or individual except as approved in writing by PARTNERS. Company may not display outside the confines of its assigned exhibit space. Continued on Page 8

TERMS AND CONDITIONS (CONTINUED) CONDUCT OF PARTICIPATION: Company shall conduct its Participation in a decorous manner in order not to be objectionable to PARTNERS, the event center at which the Event is taking place (the “Event Center”), other exhibitors, or the public. PARTNERS reserves the right to restrict or prohibit exhibits which, because of noise, method of operation, content, safety, or any other reason, are objectionable to PARTNERS or otherwise detract from or are out of keeping with the character of the Event.

TAXES AND LICENSES: Company is solely responsible for obtaining any license(s) and/or permit(s) associated with its Participation in the Events.

GOVERNING LAW JURISDICTION: This Contract, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Contract, shall be governed by the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Ohio, USA. In the event of a claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, each party agrees to give the other prompt notice of such, and both agree to meet and confer promptly to engage in good faith discussions to try to resolve the matter. If that fails to resolve the matter promptly, then the parties will participate in mediation in an effort to resolve it. Any such controversy, claim or dispute which is not resolved through the procedures set forth above, will be resolved by arbitration before a sole arbitrator who is an attorney under the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The duty and right to arbitrate will extend to any employee, officer, director, shareholder, agent, affiliate, supplier or contractor of a party to the extent such right or duty arises through a party or is related to this Agreement. The decision and award of the arbitrator will be final and binding, and the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator is directed to hear and decide potentially dispositive motions in advance of the hearing-on-the-merits by applying the applicable law to uncontested facts and documents. The arbitration will be held in Dayton, Ohio, unless the parties mutually agree on a different location. Except to the extent, if any, elected in writing by the claiming party, the obligation to arbitrate hereunder will not apply to claims for misuse or infringement of a party’s intellectual property; and, a claiming party may seek an injunction in court to prevent misuse or infringement of its intellectual property pending the appointment of an arbitrator. The arbitrator will enforce the terms of the Agreement and will has no authority to award punitive damages, non-compensatory damages, or any damages other than direct damages, nor have the authority to award direct damages in excess of the limitations and exclusions set forth in the Agreement. NO WAIVER, SEVERABILITY, SURVIVORSHIP: Any express waiver or failure to exercise any right under this Contract will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of this Contract is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government or by any court or arbitrator, such invalidity will not affect the enforceability of the other provisions. Rights and obligations under this Contract, which by their nature should survive, will remain in effect after termination or expiration of this Contract. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Contract constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations, written or oral, concerning the subject matter hereof. This Contract may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.
