5 PREAMBLE The Safety Specifications of the Company operating the Paris Exhibition Center (Société d Exploitation du Parc des Expositions de Paris), hereinafter referred to as Viparis Porte de Versailles, are intended primarily to govern the legal obligations applicable to the various occupants of the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Center (hereinafter referred to as the Center ) and to Viparis Porte de Versailles. The specifications are based on the necessity of ensuring maximum safety to people likely to visit the entire Center and its rooms. At the request of the departmental advisory committee for safety and accessibility (Commission Consultative Départementale de Sécurité et d Accessibilité), studies began in early 1987 under the supervision of the French sub-department for public safety, operating under the public protection department of the Prefecture of Police. The basic purpose of this document is to formalize safety guidelines for the Center in a contractual framework. Accordingly, an agreement will be established that takes into account both the imperative and non-negotiable nature of certain safety rules, and the management requirements inherent in all events. Two essential principles govern these Specifications: People holding an occupancy permit or their representatives for the event (hereinafter referred to as the Hirer ) are fully responsible for the activity they generate in the rooms and on the outdoor terraces provided. Viparis Porte de Versailles is responsible for the common areas. Building on these two principles, the Safety Specifications had to be developed in compliance with the following procedure: Review and definition of the safety objectives to be achieved in the Center with the Prefecture of Police (departmental advisory committee for safety and accessibility). Consultation with the French Meeting Industry Council (Union Française des Métiers de l Evénement - UNIMEV). Consultation with the organizers of shows throughout the Center. Consultation with the main Safety Officers. The meetings conducted as part of this prior consultation procedure were held between October 1988 and May The consultation meetings for the second edition of these Safety Specifications were held between September 1991 and November The third edition (October 2002) mainly takes into account the new Building 4 and the renovation and improved safety conditions of Building 1. The fourth edition (November 2003) confirms new provisions further to the reconstruction of the new building 5 and its adjacent terraces, together with provisions regarding the access of disabled people in wheelchairs to stands. The fifth edition (August 2006) includes the changes applied in the following areas: Activities carried out in the Center, in particular events-related activities (other than type T). The referencing of Safety Officers. Exit management for Pavilions 1, 7.1 and 7.2. The summary table of emergency equipment. The temporary installation of cooking devices. The sixth edition (August 2015) includes the following information: Changes made to Pavilions 1 and 2, and the creation of a connecting bridge called the Exhibition Bridge between pavilions 1 and 2.2, Replacing the term Hall by Pavilion. Changing the configuration of pavilions 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 to Type L. Methods for evacuating people with disabilities. The inspection report for events-related activities (other than Type T), Updating regulatory standards. In this regard, the Viparis Porte de Versailles Safety Specifications form part of the contractual documents relating to occupancy of the entire area of the Center. INTRODUCTION These Specifications apply the following regulatory provisions: French Building and Occupancy Code, articles R to R , R 152-4, R The Order of June 25, 1980 approving the general Safety Regulations concerning the risks of fire and panic in establishments frequented by the public.

Without prejudice to the provisions laid down in any occupancy permit, the specifications set out and break down the obligations and responsibilities of each party contributing to the activity of the shows, exhibitions and all types of events hosted by the Center and specify the occupancy conditions specific to each room, outside area and equipment made available to the Hirer. The obligations and responsibilities of the owner and users, pursuant to Articles R and of the French Building and Occupancy Code, are broken down between: 1 - Viparis Porte de Versailles, a long-term lessee of the Center under the terms of a lease concluded with the City of Paris on December 9, 2013, and its lessee-manager, Paris Expo Services, providing services to Organizers and Exhibitors (hereinafter referred to as Paris Expo Services ). 2 - The organizers of shows, exhibitions and other events (hereinafter referred to as Hirers or Organizers ). 3 - Exhibitors or Lessees of stands. 4 - Concessionaires, long-term lessees and all other occupants of the Center. The full acceptance of these Safety Specifications by the Organizers are a prerequisite to any occupancy agreement by Viparis Porte de Versailles. In agreement with the departmental advisory committee for safety and accessibility, Viparis Porte de Versailles reserves the right to change these Safety Specifications without notice; any changes shall then be brought to the attention of the Organizers, concessionaires, long-term lessees and other occupants of the Center. Failing to comply with these Specifications shall make offenders liable to the penalties provided under the agreement concluded with Viparis Porte de Versailles, while also engaging their civil and criminal liability towards third parties and towards Viparis Porte de Versailles. 3

Conference halls, premises for office use and reception areas. Excluded from areas that can be leased are: Areas referred to as safety perimeters, considered unsuitable for construction, Service premises and equipment, bars, security stations, etc., Traffic flow routes and green areas PROVISIONS REGARDING EVENTS The Center s pavilions are suited to host type L-M-N-P-R-V-W-X and Y events of the first category. Type L events cannot be hosted in pavilions 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. These pavilions meet the provisions of Articles L 16 2, L 33 and L 34: should the general evacuation alarm be triggered, normal lighting and safety conditions will be restored to these pavilions if they are plunged into darkness. Type P activities can only be carried out in pavilions 1, 4 and 5, which are equipped with a category A fire safety system and whose smoke removal equipment is triggered by the automatic fire detection system in accordance with the requirements of Article P 14. The organizer of this type of event activity must be assisted by a Safety Officer selected from the service providers identified by Viparis Porte de Versailles. The authorization request dossiers for these events must be reviewed by Viparis Porte de Versailles and MUST reach the administrative authority no later than thirty (30) days before the date of opening the event to the public (see address and contact details for the competent services in Appendix 1 of these Safety Specifications). These dossiers must meet the regulatory requirements as defined by the provisions applicable to the facilities of the first group. Prior to the event opening to the public, the Safety Officer must draft an inspection report on compliance with all regulatory recommendations. After preparation of this report, sent to Viparis Porte de Versailles and to the Organizer, which will make it available to the Administration, the Safety Officer will give his/her opinion on whether or not it is advisable to open all or part of the event to the public FIREWORKS If fireworks are authorized under the regulatory framework of the planned activity, the application for authorization should specify their characteristics and the related protection measures. An additional copy of the application for authorization should be sent to the Department for Transport and Public Protection, for the attention of the Explosives and Fire Department of the Central Laboratory, within the regulatory period PERMISSIBLE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE PAVILIONS Regardless of the type of event planned, the number of visitors at each event may never exceed the permissible number of visitors in 6

9 relation to the actual number of exit ways in the building or pavilion concerned. This calculation must be made based on the number of optimized exits (see appendix 7) indicated on the Viparis Porte de Versailles user maps and in accordance with Article CO. 38 of the Order of June 25, 1980 (Number of visitors = number of optimized exits minus one x 500). The theoretical density of the public allowed into the exhibition pavilions is calculated based on one person per m 2 of the gross surface area of the rooms to which they have access and must always be compatible with the number of exits and of passage units provided by each building. This density is identical for the conference rooms set up in the pavilions by the event organizers. It is limited to the number of existing seats in equipped rooms. Provisions specific to Pavilion 5: The sliding gates located on Boulevard Lefebvre will be opened by Viparis Porte de Versailles during opening hours to the public. The Hirer will be responsible for monitoring these exits. It is not authorized to extend the exhibition spaces into the rooms and their entrances PARTIAL OCCUPATION OF THE PAVILIONS When an exhibition pavilion is not used in full, the Hirer must install a partition at least 2.5 meters in height, made of Category M3 (D) materials, along the edge of the unoccupied area. This partition must have adequate mechanical stability to withstand pressure by members of the public. Any exits that are rendered unusable as a result must be fully concealed. However, this provision should not lead to a reduction in the number of exits in relation to the permissible number of visitors. The unused pavilion areas must be free from any obstructions or storage throughout the duration of the event, or be monitored by the Safety Officer with suitable equipment. Viparis Porte de Versailles may tolerate storage (upon written request) under exceptional circumstances (Article T24, paragraph 3), subject to: the preservation of an aisle of 8 meters, free from any obstacles or storage, along the partition adjacent to the area closed to the public, the type of materials stored, the correct storage facilities, unobstructed access to fire fighting equipment and outdoor exits, which must remain unlocked, monitoring at all times by qualified personnel assigned to Safety, at the Hirer s expense, inspection by Viparis Porte de Versailles, the signature of an occupancy permit between Viparis Porte de Versailles and the Hirer. If several events are being organized in an exhibition pavilion, Viparis Porte de Versailles will coordinate the location of stands and in particular the positioning of traffic flow aisles (in accordance with these Safety Specifications). The Hirers must present their proposals to Viparis Porte de Versailles before making their definitive arrangements. If one event is being assembled or disassembled at the same time that another event in the same pavilion is open to the public, the Hirer of the event being assembled must take all necessary steps to prevent any disturbance to public order and safety (noise, air currents, evacuation of the public, access to façades and fire fighting equipment). The storage of inflammable and hazardous materials (explosive or toxic materials, etc.) in the exhibition areas is prohibited. This includes the stand storerooms, the exits and the area in the immediate vicinity of the pavilions PERMISSIBLE FLOOR LOADS The Hirer is required to comply with the load restrictions indicated in Appendix No. 9 when installing stands and to ensure compliance with these restrictions by its Exhibitors. These areas are clearly demarcated on the User maps included in Appendix No REMODELING SUBJECT TO PRIOR AUTHORIZATION Any loads that exceed the load limits may, if they are essential, be transported and installed by means of exceptional modifications to the site. Any Hirer who wishes to study such an option must submit a written request to Viparis Porte de Versailles, accompanied by the necessary technical data, one month prior to the date by which a response is needed CONCENTRATED LOADS During handling, loads that are generally permissible are sometimes shifted onto smaller surface areas. The resulting penetration may cause serious damage to the ground surface, regardless of the type of surface. The Hirer is responsible for ensuring that these loads are appropriately distributed by having the handling personnel place flat, rigid surfaces on the route taken by the lifting machinery ATTACHMENTS TO STRUCTURES Attachments may only be attached to a pavilion s ceiling or structural components at attachment points identified by Paris Expo Services. Accordingly, only Paris Expo Services is authorized to operate on said attachment points. Temporary installations hanging from these attachment points by slings may only be set up after sending the plans and calculations performed by an approved and independent technical inspection agency to Paris Expo Services, which may require additional attachment points to be installed if the calculations prove this to be necessary. A sling cannot support a weight of more than 80kg. No attachments or slings may be set up under the ring road or ORION. The Hirer must prohibit all suspended items and any signage attached to the power distribution ducts, the automatic sprinkler system, the ventilation and smoke removal ducts and in general any existing device or ductwork. The Hirer is responsible for the inspection of these temporary installations by an accredited technical inspection agency before proceeding to any attachment by Paris Expo Services or its service provider. Paris Expo Services and its sub-contractor may not be held liable for the type of load of said installations. The hirer must be able to provide evidence of these inspections through a report from the technical inspection agency at the first request TRAFFIC FLOW AISLES SAFETY AISLES Safety aisles of 4 m in width have been defined in the pavilions (except pavilions 1, 4, 5, 8 and the Exhibition Bridge). These aisles are created 7

10 on the ground of each pavilion and are clearly indicated on the user maps. In pavilions 2, 3 and 6, in order to adjust the mesh used by the Organizer to install the stands, the positioning of these aisles may be shifted back along its entire length, up to the dotted line on the user maps appended to these Safety specifications. In any case, a 4 m x 4 m square must be provided in front of the exits in the shaded area on the user maps for each pavilion. The safety aisles of Pavilion 7 may not be moved back under any circumstances. Special case of pavilion 1 Safety aisles of 6 m in width demarcate 6 islands of 3,600 to 7,100 m 2 and cannot be moved. The layout of each island must include a surface area for main and secondary aisles, supplementing the 6-meter safety aisle surface area with 33% of the minimum regulatory requirement for the total surface area accessible to the public. Two-level stands located on both sides of the 6-meter safety aisles, must be 11 meters away from each other, or 8 meters if their ground level is equipped with an automatic sprinkler system MAIN AND SECONDARY AISLES The other traffic flow aisles must be located, as far as possible, around the columns equipped with fire hose reels. The main aisles must be at least 2.40 m wide, and the secondary aisles 1.80 m. In exhibition pavilions equipped with escalators, the Hirer shall ensure the necessary surveillance to prevent any use or handling that might place the public in danger or cause damage to the equipment. Large stands (larger than 1,000 m²) must be designed so as not to impede evacuation of the public (Art. T 18). Accordingly, they must include at least one secondary aisle running through the stand, in coordination with the pavilion exits, or with the adjacent main aisles. In any case, a sufficient number of aisles of the right width and leading to the exits must be provided Any difference in level must be offset either using ramps with a slight incline (10%) or with a statutory flight of stairs (at least three steps with a step nosing painted white). Obstacles such as hoses or cables laid on the ground and running across the aisle pathway must be covered with boat -type protection. Furthermore, all the levels, differences in levels and platforms created in each stand must be accessible to people with disabilities under the terms laid down in the French Building and Occupancy Code, the Order of August 1, 2006, and the Order of December 8, 2014, in addition to all applicable texts concerning disabled access of establishments and installations frequented by the public RECEPTION AREAS AND EXHIBITION BRIDGE The peristyles of the major central areas of pavilion 1 and pavilion 7/1 can only be developed in reception areas according to the surface areas defined in the user maps. In all cases, they should only comprise areas crossing through (e.g. counters, reception desks, etc.), limited to a height of 2.50 m and enabling the installation of exit and/or emergency exit signs. The configurations of possible developments to the Exhibition Bridge are indicated in Appendix No. 10. In all cases, one or two longitudinal alleys free from any obstacles and 5 meters wide in total must be reserved for the circulation of members of the public. Emergency exits, secure waiting areas, fire hose reels, accessible windows and smoke extraction openings must be kept clear at all times. The intermediate level between the floor level of Pavilion 1 and the Exhibition Bridge serves only as a transit area for members of the public. Accordingly, it is unsuitable for building developments. Only décor accessories may be permitted side walls in particular that do not hinder the following in any way: signs, the use and effectiveness of existing emergency equipment, easy movement of the public EXIT MANAGEMENT Members of the public must have free use of the doors to the pavilions at all times during their presence at the pavilions. The doors must be closed and unlocked, in which case it must be possible to open the doors as soon as they are needed; consequently, the use of chains or padlocks is prohibited. The deterrent device used must be easily breakable. The Organizer undertakes to rectify as soon as possible any breach that Viparis Porte de Versailles may bring to its attention. It is the Hirer s responsibility to ensure strict compliance with this requirement. For this purpose, personnel employed by security agencies must be given instructions defining their responsibilities, specifically with regard to the actions that must be taken when a message to evacuate the pavilion is issued. Special case of pavilions 1, 7.1 and 7.2 For public shows, all exits must be made available through the installation of aisles along the perimeter. These aisles must be at least 4 meters wide and uninterrupted. In addition, the number and width of aisles or access pathways (mainly open or traversing stands included) leading to the outer perimeter aisle must be at least equal to the number and width of exits required in accordance with the exhibition area covered by these aisles. Where Pavilion 7.1 is concerned, the number and width of the aisles on the side of the blind façade may not be included in the number of aisles leading to the outer perimeter aisle. For exhibitions to which entrance is restricted (e.g. trade shows), certain exits may be temporarily blocked, following approval by the departmental advisory committee for safety and accessibility.
