Dear
Joseph:

 

In recognition of your
contributions to Emerald Expositions, LLC (the “Company”), the Company has approved a special bonus for you
equal to an aggregate amount of $350,000 (the “Deal Success Bonus”), to be payable as provided below, subject
to all of the terms and conditions of this letter agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the body of this letter
agreement are defined in Appendix A.

 

Your Deal Success Bonus
will be in addition to (and will not be in lieu of) any annual bonus or other incentive compensation amounts you may otherwise
be entitled to receive from the Company.

 

Conditions to Deal Success Bonus

 

		(a)	Subject to the provisions of (b) below, you shall be
paid your Deal Success Bonus in two lump sums, as follows: (1) 50% of the Deal Success Bonus within 10 days of the closing of
a Sale (as defined in Appendix A) (the “First Deal Success Bonus Payment”) and (2) 50% of the Deal Success
Bonus on the earlier of (a) the six month anniversary of the closing of a Sale or (b) the termination of your employment by the
Company without Cause following a Sale (the “Second Deal Success Bonus Payment”).

 

		(b)	If your employment with the Company terminates prior
to the closing date of a Sale for any reason, then you will not be entitled to any portion of the Deal Success Bonus. If your
employment with the Company terminates following closing but prior to the six month anniversary of a Sale for any reason (other
than by the Company without Cause), you will not be entitled to the Second Deal Success Bonus Payment.

 

Confidentiality

 

This letter, the amount
of your Deal Success Bonus eligibility, the fact that a Sale is being contemplated and all facts and circumstances related thereto
are confidential and should not be discussed with anyone (including co-workers, bidders and the Company’s advisors). We are
relying on your sensitivity and professionalism in observing this request. In the event that the Company makes a determination
prior to the closing date of a Sale that you have violated this confidentiality condition, the Company may, in its sole discretion
(and in addition to any other actions it may choose to take up to and including termination of your employment), terminate the
Deal Success Bonus that you may have otherwise been entitled to receive under this letter.

You will not have any right to transfer, assign, pledge, alienate or create a lien on the Deal Success Bonus, and this letter agreement
is not assignable by you. The Deal Success Bonus is unfunded and unsecured and is payable out of the general funds of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of
June 17, 2013 (this “Agreement”), by and between Emerald Expositions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and David Loechner (the “Executive”) (each of the Executive and the Company, a “Party,” and
collectively, the “Parties”) and, solely for purposes of Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this Agreement, Expo Event
Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue
to employ the Executive as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and wishes to be assured of the Executive’s continued services
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to
continue to be employed by the Company as Chief Executive Officer and to continue to perform and to serve the Company on the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual covenants contained herein and other valid consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the Parties hereto
agree as follows:

 

Section 1.     Employment.

 

1.1.          Term.
Subject to Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to continue to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to continue to
be employed by the Company, in each case pursuant to this Agreement, for a period commencing on June 17, 2013 (the
“Effective Date”) and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial
Term”); provided, however, that the period of the Executive’s employment pursuant to this
Agreement shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods thereafter (each, a “Renewal
Term”), in each case unless either Party hereto provides the other Party hereto with written notice that such
period shall not be so extended at least 30 days in advance of the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal
Term, as applicable (the Initial Term and any Renewal Term, collectively, the “Term”). The
Executive’s period of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the
“Employment Period.”

 

1.2.         Duties. During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and in such other positions as an officer or director
of the Company and such affiliates of the Company as the Executive and the board of directors of Parent (the “Board”)
shall mutually agree from time to time, and shall report directly to the Board. In the Executive’s position as Chief Executive
Officer, the Executive shall perform such duties, functions and responsibilities during the Employment Period as are commensurate
with such position, as reasonably and lawfully directed by the Board. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall serve as
a member of the Board. The Executive’s principal place of employment shall be the Company’s headquarters in San Juan
Capistrano, California.

 

1.3.         Exclusivity.
During the Employment Period, the Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and attention to the
business and affairs of the Company, shall faithfully serve the Company, and shall conform to and comply with the lawful and
reasonable directions and instructions given to the Executive by the Board, consistent with Section 1.2 hereof. During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall use his best efforts to promote and serve the interests of the Company and shall not
engage in any other business activity, whether or not such activity shall be engaged in for pecuniary profit; provided,
that the Executive may (a) serve any civic, charitable, educational or professional organization, (b) serve on the board of
directors of for-profit business enterprises, provided that such service is approved by the Board and (c) manage his personal
investments, in each case so long as any such activities do not (x) violate the terms of this Agreement (including Section 4)
or (y) interfere with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 2.      Compensation.

 

2.1.         Salary. As compensation
for the performance of the Executive’s services hereunder, during the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive
a salary at an annual rate of $360,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policies (the “Base
Salary”). The Base Salary will be reviewed annually and may be adjusted upward (but not downward) by the Board (or a
committee thereof) in its discretion.

 

2.2.         Annual Bonus. For each
calendar year ending during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual
Bonus”) to be based upon Company performance and other criteria for each such calendar year as determined by the Board.
The Executive’s target Annual Bonus opportunity for each calendar year shall equal the actual Annual Bonus paid to the Executive
with respect to the prior calendar year (the “Target Annual Bonus Opportunity”). For calendar year 2013, the
Executive’s Target Annual Bonus Opportunity shall equal $260,000. The amount of the Annual Bonus actually paid shall depend
on the extent to which the performance goals, set annually by the Board, are achieved or exceeded. The Annual Bonus shall be paid
within two and one- half months after the end of the calendar year for which such Annual Bonus was earned. The Annual Bonus shall
be paid in cash and shall be pro-rated for any partial years of employment, provided, that the Annual Bonus shall not be
pro-rated for 2013.

 

2.3.          Initial Stock Option Grants.
As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, Parent shall grant to the Executive an option to purchase shares of common
stock of Parent, pursuant to the option plan and option agreement, each substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibits
A and B.

 

2.4.        
Stock Purchase Opportunity. The Executive agrees to subscribe for a number of shares equal to the after-tax proceeds
the Executive receives with respect to the $1.2 million retention bonus relating to the Company’s spin-out from VNU
International B.V. (the “Retention Bonus”) (or such greater amount as mutually agreed between Parent and
the Executive), divided by $1,000 per share, within 30 days following the Executive’s receipt of payment of the
Retention Bonus. Such purchase will be subject to the Executive’s execution of a subscription agreement in a form
provided by the Company whereby, among other things, the Executive will agree to become bound by the stockholders’
agreement referenced in the Term Sheet between the Executive and Expo Event Transco, Inc., dated as of May 3, 2013.

 

2.5.          Employee Benefits. During
the Employment Period, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such health and other group insurance and other employee
benefit plans and programs of the Company as in effect from time to time on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company.

 

2.6.          Vacation. During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to four weeks vacation per calendar year, to be taken and carried over in accordance
with the Company’s vacation policy. The number of vacation days shall be pro-rated for the last calendar year of employment.

 

    2 

     

    

 

2.7.         Business
Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive, upon presentation of documentation, for all
commercially reasonable business out-of-pocket expenses that the Executive incurs during the Employment Period in performing
his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company as approved by the Board
(or a committee thereof), as in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise,
except to the extent any expense or reimbursement described in this Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations
and guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”), any expense or reimbursement described in this Agreement shall
meet the following requirements: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement provided to the Executive during any
calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement to the Executive in any other calendar year;
(ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which the Executive is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last
day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; (iii) the right to payment
or reimbursement or in-kind benefits hereunder may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and (iv) the
reimbursements shall be made pursuant to objectively determinable and nondiscretionary Company policies and procedures
regarding such reimbursement of expenses.

 

2.8.          Legal Fees. The Company
shall pay to the Executive up to $30,000 in aggregate documented legal fees and related expenses incurred in connection with the
drafting, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and other documents relating to the Executive’s equity arrangements
with the Company and Parent.

 

Section 3.     Employment Termination.

 

3.1.         Termination of Employment.
The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason during the Term, and the Executive may voluntarily
terminate his employment hereunder for any reason during the Term, in each case (other than a termination by the Company for Cause)
at any time upon not less than 30 days’ notice to the other Party (the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates
for any reason is herein referred to as the “Termination Date”). Upon the termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall be entitled to (i) payment of any Base Salary earned but unpaid
through the date of termination, (ii) earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for calendar years completed prior to the Termination Date
(payable in the ordinary course pursuant to Section 2.2), (iii) unused vacation days (consistent with Section 2.6 hereof) paid
out at the per-business-day Base Salary rate, (iv) additional vested benefits (if any) in accordance with the applicable terms
of applicable Company arrangements and (v) any unreimbursed expenses in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof (collectively, the “Accrued
Amounts”); provided, however, that if the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated (x) by the
Company for Cause or (y) by the Executive voluntarily without Good Reason and not for death or Disability, then any Annual Bonus
earned pursuant to Section 2.2 in respect of a prior calendar year, but not yet paid or due to be paid, shall be forfeited.

 

3.2.        Certain Terminations.

 

(a) Termination
by the Company other than for Cause, Death or Disability; Resignation by the Executive for Good Reason. If the
Executive’s employment is terminated (x) by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability or (y) by the
Executive for Good Reason (each, a “Good Leaver Event”), in addition to the Accrued Amounts, the Executive
shall be entitled to: (i)(A) in the event of a Good Leaver Event prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, two
times the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary and Target Annual Bonus Opportunity, (B) in the event of a Good Leaver
Event on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, one and one-half times the
sum of the Executive’s Base Salary and Target Annual Bonus Opportunity and (C) in the event of a Good Leaver Event on
or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, one times the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary and Target
Annual Bonus Opportunity (each, as applicable, the “Severance Amount”); and (ii) to the extent permitted
pursuant to the applicable plans, continuation on the same terms as an active employee (including, where applicable, coverage
for the Executive and his dependents) of medical insurance benefits that the Executive would otherwise be eligible to receive
as an active employee of the Company for the Severance Benefits Period (as such term is defined below) or, if earlier, until
the Executive becomes eligible for medical benefits from a subsequent employer (“Medical Benefit
Continuation”).

 

    3 

     

    

 

The Company’s
obligations to pay the Severance Amount and to provide Medical Benefit Continuation shall be conditioned upon the Executive’s
continued compliance with his obligations under Section 4 of this Agreement. The Severance Amount shall be paid in equal installments
during (i) with respect to a Good Leaver Event pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i)(A), the 24-month period following the Termination
Date, (ii) with respect to a Good Leaver Event pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i)(B), the 18-month period following the Termination
Date and (iii) with respect to a Good Leaver Event pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i)(C), the 12-month period following the Termination
Date (each such period, the “Severance Benefits Period”), in each case commencing
during the 30-day period following the Termination Date; provided, that, the Executive has signed and delivered to
the Company the release of claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Release”)
and the period (if any) during which the Release can be revoked has expired within such 30-day period; provided, further,
that, if such 30-day period spans two calendar years, payment of the Severance Amount shall commence to be paid in the second year.

 

If the Executive is not permitted
to continue participation in the Company’s medical insurance plan pursuant to the terms of such plan or pursuant to a determination
by the Company’s insurance providers or such continued participation in any plan would result in the imposition of an excise
tax on the Company pursuant to Section 4980D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
the Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain individual insurance policies providing medical benefits to the Executive during
the Severance Benefits Period, but shall be required to pay for such policies only an amount equal to the amount the Company would
have paid had the Executive continued participation in the Company’s medical plans; provided, that, if such
coverage cannot be obtained, the Company shall pay to the Executive monthly during the Severance Benefits Period an amount equal
to the amount the Company would have paid had the Executive continued participation in the Company’s medical plan.

 

(b) Termination by
Death or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability,
the Company shall pay the Executive (or his heirs upon a termination by death) a pro-rata bonus for the year of termination, equal
to the Annual Bonus the Executive would have been entitled to receive had his employment not been terminated, based on the actual
performance of the Company for the full year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive
was employed by the Company during the applicable year prior to and including the Termination Date and the denominator of which
is 365, payable at such time when annual bonuses are paid generally. 

 

(c) Definitions. For purposes of Section 3, the following terms have
the following meanings:

 

(1)
        “Cause” shall mean the Executive’s having engaged in
any of the following: (A) willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of any of his duties to the Company,
which, if capable of being cured, is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within 30 days after the Executive
receives from the Board written notice of such willful misconduct or gross negligence; (B) intentional failure or refusal to
perform reasonably assigned duties by the Board, which is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within 30
days after the Executive receives from the Board written notice of such failure or refusal; (C) any indictment for,
conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, (i) any felony (other than motor vehicle offenses the effect of
which do not materially affect the performance of the Executive’s duties) or (ii) any crime (whether or not a felony)
involving fraud, theft, breach of trust or similar acts, whether of the United States or any state thereof or any similar
foreign law to which the Executive may be subject; or (D) any willful failure to comply with any written rules, regulations,
policies or procedures of the Company which, if not complied with, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the business or financial condition of the Company, which in the case of a failure that is capable of being cured,
is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board within 30 days after the Executive receives from the Company written
notice of such failure. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, the Company shall provide
written notice to the Executive of that fact on or before the termination of employment.

 

    4 

     

    

 

(2)
        “Disability”
shall mean the Executive is entitled to and has begun to receive long-term disability benefits under the long-term disability plan
of the Company in which the Executive participates, or, if there is no such plan, the Executive’s inability, due to physical
or mental illness, to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job, with or without a reasonable accommodation,
for 180 days out of any 270-day consecutive day period.

 

(3)
        “Good Reason”
shall mean one of the following has occurred: (A) a material breach by the Company of any of the covenants in this Agreement; (B)
any reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary or bonus opportunity; (C) the relocation of the Executive’s principal
place of employment that would increase the Executive’s one-way commute by more than 50 miles; or (D) any material and adverse
change in the Executive’s position, title or status or any change in the Executive’s job duties, authority or responsibilities
to those of lesser status. A termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason shall be effectuated by giving the Company
written notice of the termination, setting forth the conduct of the Company that constitutes Good Reason, within 30 days of the
first date on which the Executive has knowledge of such conduct. The Executive shall further provide the Company at least 30 days
following the date on which such notice is provided to cure such conduct. Failing such cure, a termination of employment by the
Executive for Good Reason shall be effective on the day following the expiration of such cure period. For the avoidance of doubt,
“Good Reason” shall not have occurred if the Company requires the Executive to take an unpaid leave of absence, not
to exceed 30 days, pending the Company’s investigation into whether the Executive acted in such a way as to justify a termination
for Cause, provided, that the Company first provide the Executive with written notice of the basis for such unpaid leave
of absence.

 

(d) Section 409A. If the Executive
is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, the Severance Amount required to be made pursuant to Section
3.2 hereof shall commence on the day after the first to occur of (i) the day which is six months from the Termination Date and
(ii) the date of the Executive’s death. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “terminate,” “terminated”
and “termination” mean a termination of the Executive’s employment that constitutes a “separation from
service” within the meaning of the default rules under Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, the right to a series
of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

 

3.3.
        Exclusive Remedy. The
foregoing payments upon termination of the Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive severance payments and benefits
due the Executive upon a termination of his employment.

 

3.4.
         Resignation from All Positions. Upon the termination of the
Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall resign, as of the Termination Date, from
all positions he then holds as an officer, director, employee and member of the boards of directors (and any committee
thereof) of the Company, Parent and their affiliates. The Executive shall be required to execute such writings as are
required to effectuate the foregoing.

 

    5 

     

    

 

3.5.          Cooperation. Following
the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall reasonably cooperate with
the Company upon reasonable request of the Board and be reasonably available to the Company, at mutually convenient dates and times
(taking into account any other full-time employment of the Executive) with respect to matters arising out of the Executive’s
services to the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Section 4.     Unauthorized Disclosure; Proprietary Rights.

 

4.1.
         Unauthorized Disclosure.
The Executive agrees and understands that in the Executive’s position with the Company, the Executive will be exposed to
and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation,
technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software, other information
concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Company and
its affiliates and other forms of information considered by the Company and its affiliates to be confidential or in the nature
of trade secrets (including, without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs,
drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals)
(collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that
is generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Executive’s violation of
this Section 4.1 or disclosure by a third party who is known by the Executive to owe the Company an obligation of confidentiality
with respect to such information. The Executive agrees that at all times during the Executive’s employment with the Company
and thereafter, the Executive shall not disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any individual,
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government
or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof (each a “Person”) without the prior written
consent of the Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in connection with his
employment with the Company, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case the Executive shall provide the
Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible. This confidentiality
covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the
Company, the Executive shall promptly supply to the Company all property, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports,
customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product
or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Executive during or prior to the Executive’s
employment with the Company, and any copies thereof in his (or capable of being reduced to his) possession.

 

    6 

     

    

 

4.2.
        Proprietary Rights. The Executive shall disclose promptly to the
Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or
similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made
by him, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and related to
the business or activities of the Company and its affiliates (the “Developments”). Except to the extent
any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.
that are owned ab initio by the Company and/or its applicable affiliate, the Executive assigns and agrees to assign all of
his right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its
nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right
to sue and recover for past and future infringement. The Executive acknowledges that any rights in any Developments
constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the
Company and/or its applicable affiliate as the Executive’s employer. Whenever requested to do so by the Company, the
Executive shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to
apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the
interests of the Company and its affiliates therein. These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Executive’s
employment with the Company with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived
or made by the Executive while employed by the Company, and shall be binding upon the Executive’s employers, assigns,
executors, administrators and other legal representatives. In connection with his execution of this Agreement, the Executive
has informed the Company in writing of any interest in any inventions or intellectual property rights that he holds as of the
date hereof (“Prior Inventions”). If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to
obtain the Executive’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 4.2,
the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the
Executive’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and on the Executive’s behalf to execute, verify and file any
such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 4.2 with the same legal
force and effect as if executed by the Executive.

 

  (a) Exception to Assignments.
The Executive acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Developments to the Company do not apply
either to the Executive’s Prior Inventions or any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor
Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit D). The Executive shall advise the Company promptly in writing of any inventions
that the Executive believes meet the criteria in California Labor Code Section 2870. Furthermore, the Executive acknowledges that
no provision in this Agreement is intended to require assignment of any of the Executive’s rights in an invention if no equipment,
supplies, facilities or trade secret information of the Company was used, and if the invention was developed entirely on the Executive’s
own time, and if the invention does not relate to the business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development, and it does not result from any work performed by the Executive for the Company.

 

4.3.
         Confidentiality of Agreement.
Other than with respect to information required to be disclosed by applicable law, the Parties hereto agree not to disclose the
terms of this Agreement to any Person; provided the Executive may disclose this Agreement and/or any of its terms to the
Executive’s immediate family, financial advisors and attorneys, so long as the Executive instructs every such Person to whom
the Executive makes such disclosure not to disclose the terms of this Agreement further. Anytime after this Agreement is filed
with the SEC or any other government agency by the Company and becomes a public record, this provision shall no longer apply.

 

4.4.
         Remedies. The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this
Section 4 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at
law; the Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be
entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued
breach by the Executive and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove damages, in
addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the
obligation of the Executive to return any portion of the Severance Amount paid by the Company to the Executive in the event
of a willful and material breach. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available
remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the
Executive. The Executive and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 4 are
reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Company and its affiliates because of the Executive’s access
to Confidential Information and his material participation in the operation of such businesses. In the event that the
Executive willfully and materially breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, then in addition to any
injunctive relief, the Executive will promptly return to the Company any portion of the Severance Amount that the Company has
paid to the Executive.

 

    7 

     

    

 

Section 5.     Representations.
The Executive represents and warrants that (a) he is not subject to any contract, arrangement, policy or understanding, or to any
statute, governmental rule or regulation, that in any way limits his ability to enter into and fully perform his obligations under
this Agreement and (b) he is not otherwise unable to enter into and fully perform his obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 6.    Non-Disparagement.
From and after the Effective Date and following termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, (a) the Executive
agrees not to make any statement that is intended to become public, or that should reasonably be expected to become public, and
that criticizes, ridicules, disparages or is otherwise derogatory of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, employees,
officers, directors or stockholders and (b) the Company agrees not make any statement that is intended to become public, or that
should reasonably be expected to become public, and that criticizes, ridicules, disparages or is otherwise derogatory of the Executive.

 

Section 7.     Withholding. All amounts paid to the Executive under this Agreement during or following
the Employment Period shall be subject to withholding and other employment taxes imposed by applicable law. The Executive
shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on the Executive relating to the payment or provision of any
amounts or benefits hereunder.

 

Section 8.      Miscellaneous.

 

8.1.      Indemnification. To the
extent provided in the Company’s By-Laws and Certificate of Incorporation, the Company shall indemnify the Executive for
losses or damages incurred by the Executive as a result of all causes of action arising from the Executive’s performance
of duties for the benefit of the Company, whether or not the claim is asserted during the Employment Period. This indemnity shall
not apply to the Executive’s acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Executive shall be covered under any directors’
and officers’ insurance that the Company maintains for its directors and other officers in the same manner and on the same
basis as the Company’s directors and other officers.

 

8.2.      Amendments and Waivers.

retroactively or prospectively), modified or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by written agreement signed by the Parties
hereto; provided, that, the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Party that will
lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver. The waiver by any Party hereto of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent
breach, except as otherwise explicitly provided for in such waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on
the part of either Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available
in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right,
power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

reason of this Agreement, except the personal representative of the deceased Executive may enforce the provisions hereof
applicable in the event of the death of the Executive. The Company is authorized to, and shall, assign this Agreement to a

The purpose of the Plan is to assist
the Company to attract, retain, incentivize and motivate officers and employees of, consultants to, and non-employee directors
providing services to, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and to promote the success of the Company’s business
by providing such participating individuals with a proprietary interest in the performance of the Company. The Company believes
that this incentive program will cause participating officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors to increase their
interest in the welfare of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and to align those interests with those of the stockholders
of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

if not complied with, would reasonably be expected to have more than a de minimis adverse effect on the business or financial condition
of the Company, (iv) the Participant’s violation of his or her employment, consulting, separation or similar agreement with
the Company or one of the Subsidiaries or any non-disclosure, non- solicitation or non-competition covenant in any other agreement

power and duty to construe and interpret the Plan and to determine all questions arising under it. The Committee may correct any
defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option in the manner and to the extent it deems

and conclusive upon all Persons. The Committee may also establish, from time to time, such regulations, provisions, procedures,
and conditions regarding the Options and granting of Options, which in its opinion may be advisable in administering the Plan.
The acts of a majority of the total membership of the Committee at any meeting, or the acts approved in writing by all of its members,

the consent of the Participant or as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Plan, outstanding Options;

shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and

securities laws of jurisdictions outside the United States.

expenses and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any liability incurred in connection with defending against, responding
to, negotiating for the settlement of or otherwise dealing with any claim, cause of action or dispute of any kind arising in connection
with any actions in administering the Plan or in authorizing or denying authorization to any transaction hereunder.

Option Agreement.

 

5.3
          Maximum Duration. Options granted hereunder shall be for
such term as the Committee shall determine; provided that an Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of
10 years from the date it is granted; provided, further, however, that unless the Committee provides otherwise, an
Option may, upon the death of the Participant prior to the expiration of the Option, be exercised for up to 180
days following the date of the Participant’s death, even if such period extends beyond 10 years from the date the
Option is granted. The Committee may, subsequent to the granting of any Option, extend the period within which the Option may
be exercised (including following a Participant’s Termination), but in no event shall the period be extended to a date
that is later than the earlier of the latest date on which the Option could have been exercised and the 10th anniversary of
the date of grant of the Option.

 

    A-5 

     

    

 

5.4          Vesting. The Committee shall
determine and set forth in the applicable Option Agreement the time or times at which an Option shall become vested and exercisable.
To the extent not exercised, vested installments shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after becoming
exercisable, but not later than the date the Option expires. The Committee may accelerate the exercisability of any Option or portion
thereof at any time.

 

5.5          Method of Exercise. The
exercise of an Option shall be made only by giving notice in the form and to the Person designated by the Company, specifying the
number of Shares to be exercised and, to the extent applicable, accompanied by payment therefor and otherwise in accordance with
the Option Agreement pursuant to which the Option was granted. The Option Price shall be paid in any combination of the following
forms: (a) cash or its equivalent (e.g., a check) or (b) other property as determined by the Committee. Any Shares transferred
to or withheld by the Company as payment of the exercise price under an Option shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the
last business day preceding the date of exercise of such Option. If requested by the Committee, the Participant shall deliver the
Option Agreement evidencing the Option to the Company, which shall endorse thereon a notation of such exercise and return such
Agreement to the Participant.

 

5.6          Rights of Participants.
No Participant shall be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to any Option unless and until (a) the Option
shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) the Company shall have issued and delivered Shares (whether or not
certificated) to the Participant, (c) the Participant’s name, or the name of his or her broker or other nominee, shall have
been entered as a shareholder of record on the books of the Company and (d) the Participant shall have entered into the Stockholders’
Agreement. Thereupon, the Participant shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such Shares,
subject to such terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Option Agreement.

 

6.            Effect of a Termination; Transferability.

 

6.1          Termination.
The Option Agreement evidencing the grant of each Option shall set forth the terms and conditions applicable to such Option upon
Termination, which shall be as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Option is granted or at anytime
thereafter, and which terms and conditions may include provisions regarding the treatment of an Option in the event of a Termination
by reason of a divestiture of any Subsidiary or Division or other assets of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

6.2          Transferability of Options
and Shares.

 

(a)           Non-Transferability of Options.
Except as set forth in Section 6.2(c) or (d) or as otherwise permitted by the Committee and as set forth in the applicable Option
Agreement, either at the time of grant or at anytime thereafter, no Option shall be (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of, (ii) pledged or otherwise hypothecated or (iii) subject to attachment, execution or levy of any kind; and any purported transfer,
pledge, hypothecation, attachment, execution or levy in violation of this Section 6.2 shall be null and void.

 

(b)           Restrictions on Shares.
The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired by a Participant under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including,
without limitation, minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, restrictions under
the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed or traded and restrictions under any blue
sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

 

(c)
          Transfers By Will or by Laws of Descent or Distribution.
Any Option may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; provided, however, that (i) any
transferred Option will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and the applicable Option
Agreement; and (ii) the Participant’s estate or beneficiary appointed in accordance with this Section 6.2(c) will
remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority.

 

    A-6 

     

    

 

(d)          Beneficiary Designation.
Each Participant may, from time to time, name one or more individuals (each, a “Beneficiary”) to whom any benefit under
the Plan is to be paid or who may exercise any rights of the Participant under any Option granted under the Plan in the event of
the Participant’s death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit or exercises such Option. Each such designation
shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective
only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such
designation, benefits under Option Agreements remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death and rights to be exercised following
the Participant’s death shall be paid to or exercised by the Participant’s estate.

 

7.            Adjustment upon Changes in
Capitalization.

 

7.1           In the event of a Change in Capitalization,
the Committee shall conclusively determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to (a) the maximum number and class of Shares with
respect to which Options may be granted under the Plan and (b) the number and class of Shares or other stock or securities (of
the Company or any other corporation or entity), cash or other property which are subject to outstanding Options granted under
the Plan and the exercise price therefor, if applicable.

 

7.2           If, by reason of a Change in Capitalization,
pursuant to an Option Agreement, a Participant shall be entitled to, or shall be entitled to exercise an Option with respect to,
new, additional or different shares of stock or securities of the Company or any other corporation, such new, additional or different
shares shall thereupon be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Shares subject to the
Option prior to such Change in Capitalization.

 

8.            Effect of Certain Transactions.

 

8.1           Except as otherwise provided in
the applicable Option Agreement, in the event of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Options shall terminate upon the consummation
of the Corporate Transaction, unless provision is made in connection with such transaction, in the sole discretion of the Committee
or the parties to the Corporate Transaction, for the assumption or continuation of such Options by, or the substitution for such
Options with new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights or other equity based compensation of the surviving, or successor
or resulting entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with such adjustments as to the number and kind of shares or other securities
or property subject to such new awards, option and stock appreciation right exercise or base prices, and other terms of such new
awards as the Committee or the parties to the Corporate Transaction shall agree. In the event that provision is made in writing
as aforesaid in connection with a Corporate Transaction, the Plan and the unexercised Options theretofore granted or the new awards
substituted therefor shall continue in the manner and under the terms provided in such writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
vested Options (including those Options that would become vested upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction) shall not
be terminated upon the consummation of the Corporate Transaction unless holders of affected Options are provided either (a) a period
of at least 15 calendar days prior to the date of the consummation of the Corporate Transaction to exercise the Options, or (b)
payment (in cash or other consideration upon or following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, or, to the extent permitted
by Section 409A of the Code, on a deferred basis) in respect of each Share covered by the Option being cancelled in an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of the per Share price to be paid or distributed to stockholders in the Corporate Transaction (the value
of any non-cash consideration to be determined by the Committee in good faith) over the Option Price of the Option. For the avoidance
of doubt, if the amount determined pursuant to the foregoing is zero or less, the affected Option may be cancelled without any
payment therefor.

 

    A-7 

     

    

 

8.2        Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing or being construed as requiring any such action, in connection with any such Corporate Transaction the Committee
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause any of the following actions to be taken effective upon or at any time prior to
any Corporate Transaction (and any such action may be made contingent upon the occurrence of the Corporate Transaction):

 

(a)          cause any or all unvested Options
to become fully vested and immediately exercisable (as applicable) and/or provide the holders of such Options a reasonable period
of time prior to the date of the consummation of the Corporate Transaction to exercise the Options;

 

(b)          with respect to unvested Options
that are terminated in connection with the Corporation Transaction, provide the holders thereof a payment (in cash and/or other
consideration) in respect of each Share covered by the Option being terminated in an amount equal to all or a portion of the excess,
if any, of the per Share price to be paid or distributed to stockholders in the Corporate Transaction (the value of any non-cash
consideration to be determined by the Committee in good faith) over the Option Price of the Option, which may be paid in accordance
with the vesting schedule of the Option as set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, upon the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction or, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, at such other time or times as the Committee may determine.

 

8.3         In addition, in connection with
any Corporate Transaction:

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide in the transaction agreement or otherwise for different treatment
for Options held by different Participants and, where alternative treatment is available for a Participant’s Options, may
allow the Participant to choose which treatment shall apply to such Participant’s Options;

 

(b)          Any action permitted under this
Section 8 may be taken without the need for the consent of any Participant. To the extent a Corporate Transaction also constitutes
a Change in Capitalization and action is taken pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to an outstanding Option, such action shall
conclusively determine the treatment of such Option in connection with such Corporate Transaction notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary (including Section 7); and

 

(c)           The Committee may require a Participant
to return a letter of transmittal or similar acknowledgment as a condition to receiving any payment in respect of his or her Options
in connection with a Corporate Transaction, in which case any Participant who has not returned any such letter or similar acknowledgment
within the time period established by the Committee for returning any such letter or similar acknowledgement shall forfeit his
or her right to any payment and his or her associated Options may be cancelled without any payment therefor.

 

9.            Interpretation. All Options
granted under the Plan are intended either not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or, if subject to Section 409A of the
Code, to be administered, operated and construed in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and all regulations and other guidance
issued thereunder. Notwithstanding this or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may amend the Plan or
any Option granted hereunder in any manner or take any other action that it determines, in its sole discretion, is necessary, appropriate
or advisable (including replacing any Option) to cause the Plan or any Option granted hereunder to comply with Section 409A of
the Code and all regulations and other guidance issued thereunder or to not be subject to Section 409A of the Code. Any such action,
once taken, shall be deemed to be effective from the earliest date necessary to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code and
shall be final, binding and conclusive on all Eligible Individuals and other individuals having or claiming any right or interest
under the Plan.

 

    A-8 

     

    

 

10.          Termination and Amendment
of the Plan or Modification of Options.

 

10.1       Effective Date and Duration
of the Plan. The Plan shall be effective on the Effective Date. The Plan shall terminate on the Plan Termination Date and no
Option shall be granted after that date. The applicable terms of the Plan and any terms and conditions applicable to Options granted
prior to the Plan Termination Date shall survive the termination of the Plan and continue to apply to such Options.

 

10.2
      Plan Amendment or Plan Termination. The Board may earlier terminate the Plan and
the Board may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend the Plan; provided, however, that:

 

(a)           no such amendment, modification,
suspension or termination shall impair or adversely alter any Options theretofore granted under the Plan, except with the consent
of the Participant, nor shall any amendment, modification, suspension or termination deprive any Participant of any Shares which
he or she may have acquired through or as a result of the Plan; and

 

(b)          to the extent necessary under
any applicable law, regulation or exchange requirement, no other amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders
of the Company in accordance with applicable law, regulation or exchange requirement.

 

10.3       Modification
of Options. No modification of an Option shall adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Option without
the consent of the Participant.

 

11.          Non-Exclusivity of the Plan.

 

The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be construed
as amending, modifying or rescinding any previously approved incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power
of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of
stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

 

12.          Limitation of Liability.

 

As illustrative of the limitations of liability of the Company,
but not intended to be exhaustive thereof, nothing in the Plan shall be construed to:

 

(a)           give any Person any right to
be granted an Option other than at the sole discretion of the Committee;

 

(b)          give any Person any rights whatsoever
with respect to Shares except as specifically provided in the Plan;

 

(c)           limit in any way the right of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of or the provision of services by any Person at any time; or

 

(d)          be evidence of any agreement
or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will pay any Person at any particular rate of compensation or for any particular
period of time.

 

13.          Regulations and Other Approvals;
Governing Law.

 

13.1        Except as to matters of federal
law, the Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

 

    A-9 

     

    

 

13.2       Compliance with Law.

 

(a)         The obligation of the Company
to sell or deliver Shares with respect to Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as
may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

 

(b)         The Board may make such changes
as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government authority.

 

(c)         Each grant of an Option and
the issuance of Shares in settlement of the Option is subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign law.
Further, if at any time the Committee determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares
issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any federal, state or foreign law, or that the consent
or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of
an Option or the issuance of Shares, no Options shall be or shall be deemed to be granted or payment made or Shares issued, in
whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions
that are not acceptable to the Committee. Any Person exercising an Option shall make such representations and agreements and furnish
such information as the Board or Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements.

 

13.3       Transfers of Plan Acquired
Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or any Option Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the disposition
of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act and is
not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities
Act and Rule 144 or other regulations promulgated thereunder. The Committee may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant
to an Option granted under the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to represent and warrant to the Company
in writing that the Shares acquired by such individual are acquired without a view to any distribution thereof and will not be
sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption
applicable under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The certificates evidencing any of such
Shares shall be appropriately amended or have an appropriate legend placed thereon to reflect their status as restricted securities
as aforesaid.

 

14.          Miscellaneous.

 

14.1       Forfeiture Events; Clawback.
The Committee may specify in an Option Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an
Option shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, clawback or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified
events or as required by law, in addition to any otherwise applicable forfeiture provisions that apply to the Option.

 

14.2       Multiple Agreements. The
terms of each Option may differ from other Options granted under the Plan at the same time, or at some other time. The Committee
may also grant more than one Option to a given Eligible Individual during the term of the Plan, either in addition to, or in substitution
for, one or more Options previously granted to that Eligible Individual.

 

    A-10 

     

    

 

14.3
        Withholding of Taxes. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
withhold from any payment of cash or Shares to a Participant or other Person under the Plan an amount sufficient to cover any
withholding taxes which may become required with respect to such payment or shall take any other action as it deems necessary
to satisfy any income or other tax withholding requirements as a result of the grant or exercise of any Option under the
Plan. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to require the payment of any such taxes and require that
any Person furnish information deemed necessary by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to meet any tax reporting
obligation as a condition to exercise or before making any payment pursuant to an Option. In addition, if approved by the
Committee, a Participant may elect to (a) have withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable to him or her, or (b) surrender
Shares owned by the Participant prior to the exercise, vesting or other settlement of an Option, in each case having an
aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding taxes.

 

14.4         Plan Unfunded. The Plan
shall be unfunded. Except for reserving a sufficient number of authorized Shares to the extent required by law to meet the requirements
of the Plan, the Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets
to assure payment of any Option granted under the Plan.

 

    A-11

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”),
effective as of the date of grant set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Date of Grant”), is between Expo
Event Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Company”), and the individual

a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. The grant shall be effective upon the execution of this Agreement by both parties hereto.
Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the
Plan. The Option is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

(d)           On or after the third anniversary
of the Date of Grant but before the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Option may be exercised to acquire up to 60% of

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control occurs, the
Option shall become 100% vested and exercisable. The portion of the Option which becomes vested and exercisable as described
in this Section 4.1 is hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Portion.”

 

Section 5.              Manner of Exercise and Payment.

 

5.1.          Notice of Exercise. The
Option shall be exercised when written notice of such exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or
such other form as the Committee may require from time to time (the “Exercise Notice”), signed by the person
entitled to exercise the Option, has been delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 hereof, provided,
further, that with respect to any Participant who is not an Accredited Investor (an “Accredited Investor”) as
that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, such Exercise Notice shall not become effective and
may be revoked by the Participant by written notice to the Company until the eighth day after the Company has delivered to the
Participant disclosures intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 701 of the Securities Act (to the extent then applicable).
The Exercise Notice shall state that the Optionee is electing to exercise the Option, shall set forth the number of Option Shares
in respect of which the Option is being exercised and shall be signed by the Optionee or, where applicable, by the Optionee’s
legal representative.

 

5.2.          Deliveries. The Exercise
Notice described in Section 5.1 shall be accompanied by payment of the full Option Price for the Option Shares in respect of which
the Option is being exercised, together with any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the exercise of the Option, such
payment to be made by delivery to the Company of (a) a certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company or (b) cash
by wire transfer or other immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.

 

5.3.          Issuance of Shares. Subject
to Section 13.2 of the Plan, upon receipt of the Exercise Notice and full payment for the Option Shares in respect of which the
Option is being exercised, the Company shall take such action as may be necessary under applicable law to cause the issuance to
the Optionee of the number of Option Shares as to which the Option was exercised and the Optionee shall cooperate to the fullest
extent requested by the Company (including by executing such documents and providing such information) as may be necessary to effect
the issuance of such Option Shares in compliance with all applicable law. If the Optionee fails to make any of the deliveries required
by Section 5.2 of this Agreement, the Optionee’s exercise shall not be given effect and the Shares shall not be issued to
the Optionee.

 

5.4.          Shareholder Rights. The
Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Option Shares until:
(a) the Option shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Optionee shall have paid the full
Option Price for the number of Option Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised and any withholding taxes due, (b) the
Company shall have issued the Option Shares to the Optionee, (c) the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as a holder
of record on the books of the Company and (d) the Optionee shall have entered into the Stockholders’ Agreement. Upon
the occurrence of all of the foregoing events, the Optionee shall have full ownership rights with respect to such Option Shares.

  

    B-2

     

    

 

Section 6.              Termination.

 

6.1.          Termination. If the Optionee
Terminates, (a) the Option, other than the Vested Portion of the Option, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect
as of and following the close of business on the date of such Termination, and (b) the Vested Portion of the Option shall be exercisable
by the Optionee during the Post-Termination Exercise Period (as defined below), but in no event after the expiration of the Term.
Any portion of the Vested Portion of the Option that, following the Optionee’s Termination, is not exercised prior to the
expiration of the Post-Termination Exercise Period shall terminate at the end of the Post-Termination Exercise Period. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Option, whether or not exercisable, shall immediately terminate (a)
upon a Termination of the Optionee by the Company or a Subsidiary for Cause or (b) in the event that the Optionee violates any
provision of any Restrictive Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

 

6.2.          “Post-Termination Exercise
Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Optionee’s Termination and ending at the close of business on the

Optionee’s death or Disability, the Post-Termination Exercise Period shall mean the period commencing on the Optionee’s
death or Disability and ending at the close of business on the 180th day after the date of the Optionee’s death or Disability.

 

Section 7.
             Prohibited Activities. In consideration of
and as a condition to the grant of the Option, the Optionee agrees to the following covenants:

 

7.1.          No Sale or Transfer. The
Optionee shall not sell, transfer, assign, grant a participation in, gift, hypothecate, encumber, mortgage, create any lien, pledge,
exchange or otherwise dispose of the Option or any portion thereof other than to the extent permitted by Section 6.2 of the Plan
or the Stockholders’ Agreement.

 

7.2.
         Right to Terminate Option. The Optionee understands and agrees
that the Company has granted this Option to the Optionee to reward the Optionee for the Optionee’s future efforts and
loyalty to the Company and its Affiliates by giving the Optionee the opportunity to participate in the potential future
appreciation of the Company. Accordingly, if the Optionee (a) breaches or violates any obligations under the Employment
Agreement, by and between the Optionee and Nielsen Business Media, Inc., dated June 17, 2013, as amended from time to time,
(b) breaches or violates any obligations under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Optionee is a party or (c) is convicted
of a felony against the Company or any of its Affiliates, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the
Company, the Company shall be entitled, at its option, exercisable by written notice, to terminate the Option (including the
Vested Portion of the Option), or any unexercised portion thereof, which shall be of no further force and effect.

 

7.3.         Remedies. The Optionee
specifically acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies under this Section 7 shall not prevent the Company or any
Subsidiary from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the Optionee’s breach of any Restrictive
Agreement.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Restrictive
Agreement” shall mean any agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Optionee that contains non-competition,
non-solicitation, non-hire, non- disparagement or confidentiality restrictions applicable to the Optionee.

 

    B-3

     

    

 

Section 8.              Corporate Transaction. The provisions of Section 8 of
the Plan shall apply to this Option in the event of a Corporate Transaction.

 

Section 9.              Miscellaneous.

 

9.1.          Acknowledgment. The Optionee
hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof as the same may
be amended from time to time. The Optionee hereby acknowledges that the Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Agreement and understands
the Optionee’s rights and obligations thereunder and hereunder. The Optionee also acknowledges that the Optionee has been
provided with such information concerning the Company, the Plan and this Agreement as the Optionee and the Optionee’s advisors
have requested.

 

9.2.          Accredited Investor. The
Optionee has completed Schedule I attached hereto which indicates whether the Optionee is an Accredited Investor.

 

9.3.          Governing Law; Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

(a)           Governing Law. This Agreement
shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws (excluding conflict of laws rules and principles)
of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, including all matters of
construction, validity and performance.

 

(b)
          Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Any
litigation against any party to this Agreement arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be
brought in any federal or state court located in the State of New York in New York County and each of the parties hereby
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such litigation; provided, that a final judgment
in any such litigation shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to assert (i) any objection which it may ever
have to the laying of venue of any such litigation in any federal or state court located in the State of New York in New York
County, (ii) any claim that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii)
any claim that such court does not have jurisdiction with respect to such litigation. To the extent that service of process
by mail is permitted by applicable law, each party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such litigation in
such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices
provided for herein. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right to a trial by jury and agrees that
either of them may file a copy of this paragraph with any court as written evidence of the knowing, voluntary and
bargained-for agreement among the parties irrevocably to waive its right to trial by jury in any litigation.

 

9.4.
         Specific Performance. Each of the parties agrees that any breach
of the terms of this Agreement will result in irreparable injury and damage to the other parties, for which there is no
adequate remedy at law. Each of the parties therefore agrees that in the event of a breach or any threat of breach, the other
parties shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach, threatened breach or
continued breach, and/or compelling specific performance of the Agreement, without having to prove the inadequacy of money
damages as a remedy or balancing the equities between the parties. Such remedies shall be in addition to any other
remedies (including monetary damages) to which the other parties may be entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereby
waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy.

  

    B-4

     

    

 

9.5.           Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law and if the
rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a)
such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full
force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and
(d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this
Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as
may be possible.

 

9.6.           Notice. Unless otherwise
provided herein, all notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to

exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law

9.9.          Counterparts. This Agreement

Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
oral and written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Option Shares are to be issued upon exercise of the Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to remit to

of Common Stock and the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares of Common Stock. The Optionee agrees to indemnify
the Company against any national, federal, state and local withholding taxes for which the Company may be liable in connection
with the Optionee’s acquisition, ownership or disposition of any Option Shares.

 

9.12.        No Right to Continued Employment
or Business Relationship. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to continued employment
or a continued business relationship with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or any Affiliate thereof to Terminate such Optionee at any time.

Exhibit A

 

EXPO EVENT HOLDCO, INC.

NOTICE OF OPTION EXERCISE

 

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
undersigned (the “Purchaser”) hereby elects to exercise his or her option to purchase __________ shares (the
“Shares”) of Expo Event Holdco, Inc. (the “Company”) under the Expo Event Holdco, Inc.
2013 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and the Stock Option Agreement dated as of _____________, (the “Option
Agreement”). The purchase price for the Shares
shall be $______ per Share for a total purchase price of $__________ (subject to applicable withholding taxes). The Purchaser tenders
herewith payment of the full Option Price in the form of cash, by check or by wire transfer or, if the Purchaser is permitted
pursuant to the Option Agreement, by reducing the number of Shares to be issued to him hereby by that number of Shares having
an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date hereof equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Shares.

In connection with the
purchase of Shares, Purchaser represents and covenants the following:

 

1.             Knowledge
and Representation. If the Purchaser is not an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)
of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Purchaser
acknowledges that as soon as reasonably practicable following its delivery of this notice, the Company will deliver to the
Purchaser disclosures intended to satisfy the applicable requirements of Rule 701 of the Securities Act (the “Rule
701 Disclosure”) (to the extent then applicable), in which case the Purchaser understands that he or she may revoke
this Notice of Option Exercise by written notice to the Company until the eighth day following the receipt of the Rule 701
Disclosure. The Purchaser is relying on his or her own business judgment and knowledge and the advice of his or her own
counsel, tax advisors and other advisors, regarding the risks of an investment in the Company, in making the decision to
purchase the Shares. The Purchaser, either alone or with his or her advisors, has sufficient knowledge and experience in
business and financial matters to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and has the capacity to protect
his or her own interests in connection with such purchase. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Purchaser represents and
warrants that (i) no representation or warranty, express or implied, whether written or oral, as to the financial condition,
results of operations, prospects, properties or business of the Company or as to the desirability or value of an investment
in the Company has been made to the Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company, and (ii) the Purchaser will continue to bear
sole responsibility for making his or her own independent evaluation and monitoring of the risks of his or her investment in
the Company.

 

2.             Investment Intent. The
Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for his or her own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection
with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, or under any applicable provision of state
securities laws. The Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Shares to any person or entity.

 

3.             Securities
Laws; Transfer Restrictions. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by
reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s
investment intent as expressed herein. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless
(i) they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or any applicable provision of state securities laws or (ii) an
exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no
obligation to register the Shares. In addition, the Purchaser acknowledges and understands that there are substantial restrictions
on the transferability of the Shares under the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of [●], 2013, by and among the Company and
the stockholders party thereto, as amended from time to time (the “Stockholders  Agreement”). The
Purchaser understands that the certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits
the transfer of the Shares except in compliance with the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and except in accordance
with the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, and that the Company will retain physical possession of the Shares as provided
in the Stockholders Agreement.

  

    B-9

     

    

 

4.             Tax. The Purchaser understands
that he or she may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of his or her purchase or disposition of the Shares. The Purchaser
represents that he or she has consulted any tax consultants he or she deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition
of the Shares and that he or she is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. Purchaser understands that, prior to the issuance
of any Shares, Purchaser will have to make satisfactory arrangements with the Company to satisfy any withholding requirements applicable
to the exercise of the option.

 

5.             Speculative Investment.
The Purchaser understands that an investment in the Shares is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk of
loss of the Purchaser’s investment therein. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite
period of time, including the risk of a complete loss of the Purchaser’s investment in such securities.

 

6.             Underwriter
Lock-Up. The Purchaser agrees (i) to the extent requested in writing by a managing underwriter, if any, of any underwritten
public offering pursuant to a registration or offering of equity securities of the Company not to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Shares, or any other equity security of the
Company or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the Company (other than as
part of such underwritten public offering) during the time period reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, not to exceed
180 days or such shorter period as the Company or any executive officer or director of the Company shall agree to and (ii) to
the extent requested in writing by a managing underwriter of any underwritten public offering effected by the Company for its
own account, not to sell the Shares or any other equity securities of the Company (other than as part of such underwritten public
offering) during the time period reasonably requested by the managing underwriter, which period shall not exceed 180 days or such
shorter period as the Company or any executive officer or director of the Company shall agree to.1

 

 

	1	In addition, the Stockholders
Agreement will provide that, during the three-year period following an Initial Public Offering, the Purchaser shall be prohibited
from selling a number of Shares that at the time of sale is in excess of the greater of (i) 15% of the total number of Shares
held by Purchaser immediately following the IPO, multiplied by the number of 12-month periods that have elapsed since the IPO,
and (ii) a number of Shares determined by multiplying the number of Shares held by the Purchaser immediately following the IPO
by a percentage determined by subtracting from the number one a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held
by Onex on the date of the Purchaser’s proposed sale of Shares and the denominator of which is the number of Shares held
by Onex immediately following the IPO.

2.             WITH RESPECT TO THIS RELEASE, IF
THE UNDERSIGNED IS A RESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA, THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA
CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS:

 

    “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT
EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,
WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

 THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY EXPRESSLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THAT HE MAY HAVE UNDER SECTION 1542, AS WELL AS UNDER ANY OTHER STATUTES OR COMMON LAW PRINCIPLES OF SIMILAR
EFFECT.

 

  3.              The Executive acknowledges and agrees
that this Release is not to be construed in any way as an admission of any liability whatsoever by any Company Released Party,
any such liability being expressly denied.

 

4.             This Release applies to any relief
no matter how called, including, without limitation, wages, back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive
damages, damages for pain or suffering, costs, and attorneys’ fees and expenses.

 

5.             The Executive specifically acknowledges
that his acceptance of the terms of this Release is, among other things, a specific waiver of his rights, claims and causes of
action under Title VII, ADEA, ADA and any state or local law or regulation in respect of discrimination of any kind; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall be deemed, nor does anything contained herein purport, to be a waiver of any right or
claim or cause of action which by law the Executive is not permitted to waive.

 

6.             As to rights, claims and causes
of action arising under ADEA, the Executive acknowledges that he has been given but not utilized a period of 21 days to consider
whether to execute this Release. If the Executive accepts the terms hereof and executes this Release, he may thereafter, for a
period of seven days following (and not including) the date of execution, revoke this Release as it relates to the release of claims
arising under ADEA. If no such revocation occurs, this Release shall become irrevocable in its entirety, and binding and enforceable
against the Executive, on the day next following the day on which the foregoing seven-day period has elapsed. If such a revocation
occurs, the Executive shall irrevocably forfeit any right to payment of the Severance Amount or provision of the Medical Benefit
Continuation (as each is defined in the Employment Agreement), but the remainder of the Employment Agreement shall continue in
full force.

 

7.             Other
than as to rights, claims and causes of action arising under ADEA, this Release shall be immediately effective upon execution
by the Executive.

 

8.             The Executive acknowledges and agrees
that he has not, with respect to any transaction or state of facts existing prior to the date hereof, filed any complaints, charges
or lawsuits against any Company Released Party with any governmental agency, court or tribunal.

 

9.             The Executive acknowledges that

this Release relates only to claims that exist as of the date of this Release.

right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision in accordance with the terms of this Release.

 

15.          This Release may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same

Release shall be binding upon any and all successors and assigns of the Executive and the Company.

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870

 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS; ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

 

“(a)         Any provision in an employment
agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or
her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or
her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions
that either:

 

		(1)	Relate at the time of conception
or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development of the employer.

 

		(2)	Result from any work performed by the employee for the
employer.

 

(b)  To the extent a provision in an employment agreement
purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision
(a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.”
