matters not specifically subject of the preceding rules
and regulations shall be subject to the sole decisions
of PCC. PCC shall have full power in matters of interpretation, amendment and enforcement of said rules
and regulations.

check or charging Exhibitor’s credit card account or

space at the Event, shall not be binding until accepted by PCC.

the entire agreement between PCC and Exhibitor. It
may not be orally modified. Any subsequent agreement purporting to be a waiver or modification of
this agreement, to be enforceable, must be in writing
