Dear <strong>IAAPA</strong> Attractions Expo <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Exhibitor</strong>:Thank you for your interest in exhibiting at <strong>IAAPA</strong> Attractions Expo <strong>2012</strong> in Orlando, Florida.In addition to the exhibit space contract enclosed, we need you to and sign and submit the followingcontract addendum regarding <strong>IAAPA</strong>’s new intellectual property policy that went into effect June 1, <strong>2012</strong>.In response to our manufacturer and supplier members’ concerns regarding intellectual property rightsinfringement and blatant copying, the <strong>IAAPA</strong> Board of Directors unanimously approved a policy thatrequires a member or nonmember company that purchases exhibit space, advertising or sponsorship toown or have the rights to display and/use the products, materials and printed content it is showcasing.To support this policy we have initiated an enforcement program at all <strong>IAAPA</strong> expos and trade shows.Here are a few highlights of this program:(1) <strong>IAAPA</strong> has contracted with a global IP mediator, who specializes in managing programs like thisaround the world. The IP mediator will be available on the trade show floor to investigate claims ofinfringement and, with proper evidence, to determine whether a violation of any law, rule or guidelinehas occurred during the show. If an exhibitor is believed to have violated another exhibitor’s rights,the violator may have to remove the offending material or display immediately. Other sanctions mayalso be issued when appropriate.(2) Investigation by the IP mediator will be free of charge to the complaining exhibitor. If, however, the IPmediator believes there is a violation of a law, rule or guideline and you wish to take further action,<strong>IAAPA</strong> will require you to submit a fee of $2,500. This will not only contribute to the association’scosts and expenses for the IP mediator to evaluate and potentially take any further action, but it willalso stop exhibitors from filing frivolous claims. If the complaint is deemed to be one that establishesa legitimate violation of a law, rule or guideline (whether imposed by local law or <strong>IAAPA</strong>) the mediatorand <strong>IAAPA</strong> may request the defending exhibitor to repay your $2,500 fee. <strong>IAAPA</strong> will be providingintellectual property rights inspectors on the exhibit floor and will post additional signage to alert allwho attend that <strong>IAAPA</strong> is serious about this issue. If you, as an exhibitor, have a real time issue, youwill be able to call the IP office and the inspectors will be sent to your booth to investigate.(3) This program has been modeled from a successful program used by the automotive industry. Likeany new program we will learn from it as we go along and add enhancements. These new rules onlyapply to activities taking place under the <strong>IAAPA</strong> umbrella; infringement issues in the generalmarketplace are not within <strong>IAAPA</strong>’s scope.<strong>IAAPA</strong> hosted two webinars, one in April and one in May, to educate our members about this newprogram. You can access the content of these webinars on the <strong>IAAPA</strong> website. The May issue ofFunworld featured an article on this program. <strong>IAAPA</strong> also will be educating our buyers that buyingunlicensed products can be problematic.This is a very large and expensive undertaking by <strong>IAAPA</strong> but it is a vitally necessary program for ourmembers and exhibitors. We look forward to your help and compliance in implementing this program.AGAIN, IN ORDER TO EXHIBIT AT IAE <strong>2012</strong> YOU MUST SIGN THE ATTACHED CONTRACTADDENDUM.


ADDENDUM TO THE IAE <strong>2012</strong> CONTRACT AND REGULATIONSTHIS ADDENDUM TO THE IAE <strong>2012</strong> CONTRACT AND REGULATIONS (this “Addendum”) is between The International Association of Amusement Parks andAttractions (“<strong>IAAPA</strong>” or the “Association”) and your company, which intends to exhibit (“<strong>Exhibitor</strong>”) at the <strong>IAAPA</strong> Attractions Expo <strong>2012</strong> to be held in Orlando, Florida fromNovember 12 – November 16, <strong>2012</strong> (the “Event”). Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements covered by the <strong>2012</strong> Exhibit Contract for Trade Show (“<strong>2012</strong>Contract”), the Association and <strong>Exhibitor</strong> hereby agree to amend the <strong>2012</strong> Contract as follows:1. The parties agree to add a new Section 15 to the <strong>2012</strong> Contract, which shall read as follows:15. IP Enforcement Policy. In an effort to ensure any claims or disputes by exhibitors at the Event (or in the time period prior to the Event) are handled in a nondisruptivemanner, the Association hereby agrees to provide all exhibitors at the Event with the services of an intellectual property mediator (“IP Mediator”). At the Eventand in the time period leading up to the Event, IP Mediator will provide assistance to exhibitors by evaluating potential intellectual property infringement claims and willwork closely with the Association to issue any Sanctions (as defined below), if necessary.The <strong>Exhibitor</strong> understands and agrees that the IP Mediator is a neutral party enlisted to mediate and settle disputes between exhibitors related to intellectual property orproprietary rights, as well as any violation of the <strong>2012</strong> Contract (including this Addendum). <strong>Exhibitor</strong> understands and agrees that all decisions made by the IP Mediatorare final, and shall not be subject to appeal or challenge.The <strong>Exhibitor</strong> understands and agrees that, at the Event and in the time period leading up to the Event, any exhibitor (“Complaining <strong>Exhibitor</strong>”) may lodge with IPMediator a complaint against any other exhibitor (“Defending <strong>Exhibitor</strong>”), which after investigation may result in the Sanctions by the IP Mediator or the Association atthe Event. IP Mediator’s evaluation of such a complaint will be free of charge to the Complaining <strong>Exhibitor</strong>. If, however, IP Mediator believes that the complaint is onethat identifies a legitimate claim of intellectual property infringement, or a violation of the <strong>2012</strong> Contract (including the provisions of this Addendum), the Complaining<strong>Exhibitor</strong> must pay to the Association a sum of $2,500 (“Complaint Fee”) to cover the Association’s costs and expenses for the IP Mediator to evaluate and potentially takeany further action and/or issue any Sanctions (as defined below).<strong>Exhibitor</strong> understands and agrees that the enforcement action or sanctions (“Sanctions”) shall be issued by IP Mediator and/or the Association in their sole discretion andmay include but shall not be limited to: (i) the repayment by Defending <strong>Exhibitor</strong> to Complaining <strong>Exhibitor</strong> of the Complaint Fee, (ii) the removal of any item, product,catalog, photograph or image, printed material, product or device (“<strong>Exhibitor</strong> Content”), (iii) the shutdown of an exhibitor’s booth at the Event, (iv) restrictions on accessor services provided by the Association, (v) a loss of membership to the Association; or (vi) a ban from any future show or event.The <strong>Exhibitor</strong> understands and agrees that any determination by IP Mediator and/or the Association to issue any Sanctions is not a legal determination that any intellectualproperty infringement or violation has occurred; instead, Sanctions shall be issued (i) to enforce the rules and guidelines at the Event, including the <strong>2012</strong> Contract (whichshall include this Addendum); (ii) when IP Mediator believes that the display of any <strong>Exhibitor</strong> Content is potentially infringing on another exhibitor’s intellectual propertyor proprietary rights, or (iii) when IP Mediator and/or Association believes the display of any <strong>Exhibitor</strong> Content is disruptive to the Event.In exchange for being permitted to exhibit at the Event and also for the services described above, <strong>Exhibitor</strong> agrees as follows:(a) That Association is not responsible or liable for any claimed or recognized violations of the <strong>Exhibitor</strong>’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, including any claims fortrademark, copyright or patent infringement or any claims of counterfeiting or other violations of proprietary rights.(b) That the <strong>Exhibitor</strong> will abide by any and all intellectual property laws, rules or guidelines, including the <strong>2012</strong> Contract (which shall include this Addendum), whetherimposed by national or local laws or by the Association as part of its ownership and/or management of the Event.(c) That the IP Mediator and the Association have no obligation to enforce or act on the behalf of the <strong>Exhibitor</strong> and that both IP Mediator and Association may, in their solediscretion, determine whether to issue Sanctions or take any action in any case, depending on the facts presented by the Complaining <strong>Exhibitor</strong>. Nothing herein obligatesIP Mediator or Association to take any action or issue any Sanctions.(d) Not to display <strong>Exhibitor</strong> Content that violates or potentially violates the intellectual property or proprietary rights of another exhibitor at the Event or that is otherwisedisruptive to another exhibitor. <strong>Exhibitor</strong> hereby further agrees that the Association and/or its IP Mediator may determine – in their sole and complete discretion – whetherto issue the Sanctions described herein.(e) To comply with any Sanctions issued by IP Mediator and/or the Association. <strong>Exhibitor</strong> further understands that its refusal to comply with any issued Sanctions may resultin further action by Association, which may include the issuance of additional Sanctions or another action as determined by Association in its sole discretion.(f) That a failure by <strong>Exhibitor</strong> to abide by any Sanctions imposed by IP Mediator and/or the Association may lead to additional Sanctions imposed by Association.(g) That any claim of infringement made to IP Mediator or the Association shall be made with the good faith intent to enforce owned or licensed intellectual property orproprietary rights, and not solely in an effort to disrupt or impact another party’s ability to operate.(h) EXHIBITOR AGREES TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE ASSOCIATION, IP MEDIATOR, AND THEIR AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICEPROVIDERS, (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASED PARTIES”) FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR LIABILITIES RELATED TO: (i) A CLAIM ORDETERMINATION THAT A VIOLATION OF THE <strong>2012</strong> CONTRACT (INCLUDING THIS ADDENDUM) HAS OCCURRED; (ii) A CLAIM ORDETERMINATION THAT ANY EXHIBITOR CONTENT IS INFRINGING, POTENTIALLY INFRINGING, OR OTHERWISE DISRUPTIVE TO THE EVENT; OR(iii) ANY OTHER CLAIM OR DETERMINATION ISSUED BY THE IP MEDIATOR, ITS AGENT OR CONTRACTOR, OR THE ASSOCIATION RELATED TOACTIVITY AT THE EVENT. TO BE CLEAR, SUCH RELEASE OF LIABILITY WILL INCLUDE ANY CLAIMS OF TRADE LIBEL, DEFAMATION, UNFAIRCOMPETITION, OR NEGLIGENCE RELATED TO ANY DETERMINATION MADE AT THE EVENT BY THE RELEASED PARTIES.(i) To indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Released Parties from any claims, losses, damages or liability that may result from the Association or IP Mediator’senforcement of this IP Enforcement Policy.(j) That it will accept and not seek to challenge, modify or overturn any resolution made by IP Mediator or the Association, including the issue of any Sanctions.2.
