1 3.2. Intellectual Property Rights The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the statutory body promoting Hong Kong's international trade, is committed to fostering original design and safeguarding intellectual property rights. We have on-the-spot procedures at our trade fairs for handling any complaint that a product on display infringes someone else's intellectual property rights. These complimentary procedures are not the only way in which complainants can file complaints. Complainants can also file complaints with Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department and/or the Courts of Hong Kong. These procedures, carried out with our on-call legal advisor, are designed to help establish whether there is a case to answer so that complaints may either be pursued or resolved promptly. Our legal advisors will be on-call during the opening hours of our trade fairs and will attend our office within a reasonable time upon notification by us to handle any complaint filed in accordance with the Exhibitor s Brief. Our aim is as much to protect the rights of individual exhibitors to be promptly cleared of unfounded complaints as it is to uphold their obligation to respect the intellectual property rights of others. In this respect, the attention of all exhibitors is drawn to Clause 43 of the conditions of participation, setting out rights and obligations of exhibitors at HKTDC exhibitions: 43.1 The Exhibitor warrants that the exhibits and packages thereof and the Publicity Material or any other part of the display on the Stand do not in any way whatever violate or infringe any third party's rights including all intellectual property rights including but not limited to trade marks, copyright, designs, names, and patents whether registered or otherwise. The Exhibitor agrees to fully indemnify the Organiser and its agents, representatives, contractors and employees against all costs, expenses and damages arising from any third party's claim of infringements by the Exhibitor and/or the Organiser and/or the latter's agents, representatives, contractors or employees of such third party's rights The Exhibitor agrees that it shall comply with any "Exhibitors' Brief on the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights at HKTDC Exhibitions" ("Exhibitors' Brief") that the Organiser may issue from time to time, including abiding by any complaint procedures and penalties stated in the Exhibitors' Brief, whether as a complainant of infringement of intellectual property right or as a party subject to any such complaint. If the Exhibitor fails or refuses to abide by any of the terms and conditions of the Exhibitors' Brief, the Organiser shall have the sole and absolute discretion to ban the Exhibitor and any of its parent, associate, affiliated and/or subsidiary companies from any or all future HKTDC exhibitions and / or to further ban any representatives of the Exhibitor in question from entering the venue of the current HKTDC Exhibition in which the Exhibitor is participating If a complainant/an Exhibitor ("complainant") files a complaint with the Organiser in accordance with the Exhibitors' Brief and requests the Organiser to take action against an Exhibitor, the complainant agrees to hold the Organiser, its agents, representatives, contractors and employees (including but not limited to their legal advisors) harmless and to fully indemnify each and every one of them against any and all liabilities, losses, costs (including but not limited to legal costs), expenses and damages of any nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any of them as a result of or however arising from any action that the Organiser, its agents, representatives, contractors or employees (including but not limited to their legal advisors) may take in reliance of or as result of such complaint filed by the complainant, or any other requests, directions or instructions made or given by the complainant pursuant to such complaint. The complainant further agrees not to take any legal action or make any claim or demand against the Organiser, its agents, representative, contractors or employees (including but not limited to their legal advisors) in relation to such complaint and the alleged infringement of intellectual property rights.

By way of clarification, an Exhibitor is ONLY permitted to: (i) (ii) promote, distribute or display exhibits, printed matters or graphic materials bearing its name or distribute name cards of its own employee; and allow its own employee to solicit business for itself, at its Space.

Setting up of exhibition booth Use re-erectable booth to reduce the amount of waste generated b. Selection of decoration material Use environmentally-friendly materials (e.g. recycled materials). c. Production of publicity materials Print publicity materials on recycled paper. Minimise the number of publicity materials printed. d. Distribution of bags When distribution of bags is necessary, use re-usable bags or bio-degradable bags instead of plastic bags. Waste Reuse and Recycling a. Reuse Collect unused publicity items, decoration materials, admission badge holders etc for reuse or recycling. b. Recycling Put recyclable materials including waste paper, plastic bottles and aluminum cans into the waste separation bins provided by the event organiser Caution on Third Party Promotional Offers from Fair Guide/ Expo Guide/ Event Fair It has come to the Organiser s attention that Fair Guide (owned by Construct Data), Expo Guide (owned by Commercial Online Manuals S de RL de CV ( Commercial Online Manuals ) and Event Fair - The Exhibitors Index have sent invitations to exhibitors inviting them to update or correct their data with their fair directories. The Organiser would like to stress that neither the Fair Guide, the Expo Guide nor the Event Fair has any connection with the Organiser or any of our fairs. UFI, an international organization which represents the interests of the exhibition industry worldwide has been warning the exhibition industry to be vigilant against Fair Guide, Expo Guide, Construct Data, Commercial Online Manuals and other similar guides and organisations. UFI has also reported that debt collection agencies work in partnership with these guides to intimidate exhibitors for payment. The practice of Construct Data has been considered as unconscionable and misleading by the Austrian Protective Association. Recent information suggests that Construct Data has shifted its operation from Austria to Mexico and/or Slovakia.

12 It should be noted that the contents and wording of Fair Guide s and Expo Guide s letter and order form are virtually identical. It is possible that Construct Data and Commercial Online Manuals are related companies or are in some way connected. You should therefore exercise due diligence and care when being approached for such invitations so as to avoid possible unwarranted and/or unnecessary financial commitments. In order to protect your own interests, you are urged to read the contracts (including the small print) and attachments carefully, as well as seeking legal advice, before signing any such documents. The Organiser do not recommend that you sign any materials that you receive from Construct Data, Commercial Online Manuals and/or and Event Fair. If you have mistakenly entered into contract with Construct Data, Commercial Online Manuals and/or and Event Fair, you should notify Construct Data, Commercial Online Manuals and/or and Event Fair in writing and inform them that you dispute the validity of the contract on the basis of mistake and/or misrepresentation. You should take legal advice as to how to respond to any demands for payment that you might receive. For more information about UFI s action against Fair Guide, Expo Guide, Construct Data, please visit Smoke-free Policy AsiaWorld-Expo will become a smoke-free venue. This is in line with best international practices and the wishes of visitors and event participants. It also reflects the venue manager's commitment to providing a comfortable, health-conscious environment at this world-class facility.
