Any space not claimed and occupied by 9:00 a.m., Tuesday, February 23, 2010 may be resold or reassigned by the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition without obligation on the part of the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition for any refund whatsoever unless special arrangements have been made before that time.

In the event of conflicts regarding space requests or conditions beyond its control, the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition reserves the right to rearrange the floor plan. Also, the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition may relocate any exhibit at any time.

SUBLETTING OF BOOTH SPACE - Exhibitors may not sublet, assign, or apportion to others the whole or any part of the space allotted, and may not advertise or display goods or services other than those manufactured or sold by them in the regular course of their business. However, an exhibitor may use equipment or the product of another exhibitor in his/her booth for the purpose of better product/service presentation of his/her own product/service, but may not give credit to that manufacturer, unless approved in advance by the ALAMN Business Partner and Conference Committee.

EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION - The company name appearing on the exhibitor’s badge and standard sign must be the same company name that appears on the contract for space.

ADVANCE SHIPMENTS - Advance shipping information will be included in the Exhibit Kit mailed to exhibitors at least four weeks prior to the show. The Convention Center will not accept shipments more than 3 days prior to the show.

TEAR DOWN OF EXHIBITS - All exhibits will close at 3:30 p.m., February 23, 2010. The exact schedule will be included in the exhibitor preparation kit. EXHIBITS MAY NOT BE DISMANTLED OR BOXES PACKED BEFORE OFFICIAL CLOSE OF THE SHOW. Each exhibitor will complete arrangements for removal of his/her material from the Convention Center in accordance with the instructions provided in the Exhibit Kit. The exhibit area must be cleared by 6:00 p.m., February 23, 2010. Any items remaining after 6:00 p.m. will be removed by the Convention Center at the exhibitor’s expense unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing with the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition.

ARRANGEMENT OF EXHIBITS - The ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition will provide and arrange for the erection of necessary draped backgrounds and sides of uniform style. A sign is provided for each exhibitor. Each exhibit must be confined to the spatial limits of its respective booth indicated on the floor plan. No part of any display may be over eight feet in height. The back one-half of the booth space may be occupied from the floor up to eight feet in height. The front one-half of the rented space may be occupied from the floor up to 48 inches only. Any deviation must be submitted to the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition for prior approval. All exposed parts of a display must be finished so as not be objectionable to other exhibitors. All materials must conform to local building and fire department codes and all local fire authority regulations must be observed. Exhibitors must meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

GENERAL BUILDING POLICIES - Nothing shall be taped, posted, tacked, nailed, screwed or otherwise affixed to floors or other parts of the building or furniture. No helium balloons may be distributed inside the facility. No pressure-adhesive stickers or decals or similar promotional items may be distributed in the building. The building’s escalators and public elevators are not to be blocked or used to transport freight or equipment. The freight elevator is to be utilized for this purpose. Exhibitors cannot distribute food, including popcorn and beverages in the Convention Center unless approval has been obtained from a ALAMN Business Partner and Conference Committee Co-chair.

EXHIBITOR’S REPRESENTATIVES - Each exhibitor must provide persons responsible for the exhibit within the exhibit space during the open hours of the show as defined under “Exhibit Dates and Hours.” The number of representatives allowed for individual exhibitors for each booth space is determined by the level of sponsorship: Platinum - 6, Gold - 5, Silver - 4, Bronze - 3 & Copper - 2. Brass level does not include a booth at the conference.

All booth personnel must be bona fide employees of the exhibitor or representatives who receive commission, brokerage, or salary from the exhibitor, but excluding representatives who maintain and own inventories of merchandise for resale. Live models may be hired and will be admitted to the exhibit floor only in costume approved by a ALAMN Business Partner and Conference Committee Co-chair. False certification of individuals as exhibitors’ representatives, misuse of exhibitors’ badges, or any other method or device used to assist unauthorized personnel in gaining admittance to the exhibit floor will be just cause for expelling the violator from the exhibition area or banning them from future entrance on the exhibit floor, or removing their exhibit from the floor without obligation on the part of the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition for the refund of any fees. Upon the exercise of this authority by the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, the exhibitor, for themselves, their employees and agents, waives any rights for claims or damage against the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition arising out of the enforcement of this paragraph.

The official ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition badge must be worn whenever a representative is on the exhibit floor or in any of the educational sessions. The authorized representative designated by the exhibitor in its pre-registration form as being in charge of the exhibitor’s exhibit shall represent the exhibitor in connection with set-up, operation and dismantling of such exhibit. This representative shall be responsible for knowing the exhibition contract and the rules and regulations of the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition.

LIABILITY AND SECURITY - Each exhibiting firm must make provisions for the safeguarding of their goods, materials, equipment and display at all times. Convention Center security will be provided by the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition for the exhibition period, but the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition and the Business Partner and Conference Committee will not be responsible for loss of any material by or for any cause.

Neither the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, its service contractors, the management of the show, nor the Convention Center, its agents, contractors, or employees, are or shall be liable for injuries to any person or for damage to property owned or controlled by the exhibitor, or theft of any property or money, unless caused by or resulting from the negligence of the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, the management of the convention, the service contractors, or the owners of the Convention Center or its respective agents and employees as the case may be. In case any part of the exhibit area is destroyed or damaged so as to prevent the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition from permitting an exhibitor to occupy assigned space during any part or the whole of the exhibition period, or in case occupation of assigned space during any part or the whole of the exhibition period is prevented by strikes, acts of God, national emergency or other cause beyond the control of the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, the exhibitor will be charged for space only for the period space was or could have been occupied by the exhibitor and exhibitor hereby waives any claim against the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, its directors, officers, agents or employees for losses or damages which may arise in consequence of such liability to occupy assigned space.

Exhibitors are responsible for damage they cause to the Convention Center walls, ceiling tiles and floors, including labor charges to remove stains or adhesives from the walls or floors. Exhibitors will be billed for such damage with the dollar amount of the damage determined by the Minneapolis Convention Center.

SPECIAL VISUAL AND SOUND EFFECTS - Audiovisual and other sound and attention getting devices and effects will be permitted only in those locations and in such intensity as, in the opinion of a ALAMN Business Partner and Conference Committee Co-chair, do not interfere with the activities of neighboring exhibitors. Operational equipment demonstrated may not create noise levels objectionable to neighboring exhibitors.

CANCELLATION - If the show premises are destroyed or damaged, or if the convention is interrupted, discontinued by strike, lockout, injunction, act of war, act of God, state of emergency or for any other reason, the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition may terminate this Agreement. In the event of such a termination, the exhibitor agrees to hold the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, its employees, successors and assigns harmless from any liability for damage or injury caused therefrom.

VIOLATIONS - Violations of any of these regulations on the part of the exhibitor or their employees or agents shall, at the option of the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, annul the right to occupy space and such exhibitor shall forfeit to the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition all monies paid.

The Sponsorship Application and Exhibit Contract and these Rules and Regulations together constitute the entire agreement between the parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any modifications to this Agreement must be in writing and signed. Any provision of this Agreement found to be invalid will be severable and the remainder of the Agreement will remain effective.

All matters and questions not covered by the Rules and Regulations are subject to the decision of the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition. These Rules and Regulations may be amended at any time by the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition, and all amendments that may be so made shall be equally binding on all parties affected by them, as are the original Rules and Regulations. In the event of any amendment or additions to the Rules and Regulations, written notice will be given by the ALAMN Educational Conference and Exposition to such exhibitors as may be affected by them.
