University of Nebraska Master Agreement This University of Nebraska Master Agreement - Expenditure (“Agreement”) is effective as of the date of the last signature set forth below (“Effective Date”) and sets forth the terms of purchase between the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, a public body corporate and governing body of the University of Nebraska (“University”), which is composed of a chief governing administrative unit (University of Nebraska System), four universities (University of Nebraska at Kearney, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Nebraska Medical Center, and University of Nebraska at Omaha), and such other institutions and units as may be designated by the Nebraska Legislature (each a “Campus” and collectively the “Campuses”), and PERFORM INTERNATIONAL LLC (“Supplier”). University and Supplier are collectively referred to as “parties.”

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement the parties agree as follows:

1. Description of Deliverables. Supplier agrees to provide the services, goods, or both identified in the statement of work attached to the Agreement (“Statement of Work”) and any subsequent proposal or statement of work incorporated by reference into this Agreement (collectively, “Deliverables”). Supplier agrees to perform services under this Agreement to the satisfaction of University during the Term of this Agreement and with the standard of professional care and skill customarily provided in the performance of such service.

2. Payment. In full consideration for the Deliverables provided by Supplier under this Agreement, University shall pay or cause to be paid to Supplier a fee, pursuant to the Statement of Work and any subsequent proposal or statement of work incorporated by reference into this Agreement, within forty-five

(45) days after Supplier’s submission of an accurate invoice to University and all requested supporting documentation. Along with its invoice, Supplier shall submit adequate receipts and documentation as requested by University to support reimbursement of all previously agreed upon reimbursable expenses.

Supplier is expected to comply with applicable policies and procedures, including those stated within the University of Nebraska Travel Policy (located at https://nebraska.edu/-/media/unca/docs/offices-and-policies/policies/policies/university-of-nebraska-travel-policy.pdf). University, in its discretion, may decline to reimburse expenses that are not pre-approved or fail to comply with applicable policies and procedures.

Supplier agrees that it is solely responsible for payment of income, social security, and other employment taxes due to the proper taxing authorities, and that University will not deduct such taxes from any payments to Supplier hereunder, unless required by law.

3. Advance and Late Payment (Nonnegotiable). No Deliverables shall be deemed to be received by University until all such Deliverables are completely delivered and finally accepted by University. Supplier may charge University interest for late payment in compliance with Neb. Rev. St. § 81-2404.

4. Expenses, Equipment, Tools, Materials, and Supplies. University shall not be liable to Supplier for any expenses paid or incurred by Supplier unless otherwise agreed to in writing by University. Supplier shall supply, at its sole expense, all equipment, tools, materials, or supplies to provide the Deliverables.

5. Taxes (Nonnegotiable). University is generally exempt from payment of state sales and use taxes and local occupation taxes within the State of Nebraska. University will furnish exemption certificates upon written request by Supplier. If Supplier is required to pay any taxes from which University is exempt as a result of doing business with University, it shall be solely responsible for the payment of those taxes.

6. Purchase Order Requirement. A purchase order shall be issued by University to Supplier for payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All invoices submitted by Supplier shall make reference to the appropriate purchase order number to be eligible for payment.

7. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be from the Effective Date until October 9, 2025. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

The obligations of this paragraph do not apply to information that is in the public domain; independently known, obtained, or discovered by Supplier; or hereafter supplied to Supplier by a third party without restriction. If Supplier is compelled by law to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall provide University with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at University’s cost, if University wishes to contest the disclosure.

9. Property Rights. University will possess all rights to any creations, inventions, or other intellectual property and materials, including copyright, trade secrets, or patents in the same, which arise out of, are prepared by, or are developed in the course of Supplier’s performance. Supplier and University acknowledge and agree that work created by Supplier in connection with its performance under this Agreement shall belong to University as "work-made-for-hire" as such term is defined under 17 USC § 201, as amended.

University’s rights to any creations, inventions, or other intellectual property and materials, including copyright, trade secrets, or patents in the same, which arise out of, are prepared by, or are developed in the course of Supplier’s performance under this Agreement shall be exclusive and Supplier will not use, license, or permit such works to be used for any other purpose. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, University shall have the exclusive right, without further obligation to Supplier, throughout the world, in all languages, and in perpetuity to use the work created by Supplier in connection with its performance under this Agreement in any manner it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, editing, altering and revising such work. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10. Termination. In the event that either party commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy or cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party, the non-breaching party may, at its option and in addition to any other remedies which it may have at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement by sending written notice of termination to the other party. Such termination shall be effective as of the date of receipt of the notice of termination. Additionally, University may terminate this Agreement for its convenience upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Supplier. Upon termination, University shall promptly pay Supplier for all fees incurred up to and including the effective date of termination or Supplier will refund to University a prorated share of any prepaid fees.

11. Remedies.

Supplier agrees to hold University harmless from any loss, damage, or expense, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that University may suffer as a result of a breach or alleged breach of the foregoing warranties. The foregoing remedies are in addition to all other remedies University may have at law or in equity.

13. Relationship of Parties. No agency, partnership, or joint venture is created by this Agreement.

The parties affirmatively disclaim any intent to form such relationship.

16. Intellectual Property Indemnity. Supplier agrees it will, at its sole cost and expense, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims, to the extent such claims arise out of, result from, or are attributable to, the actual or alleged infringement or misappropriation of any patent, copyright, trade secret, or trademark or disclosure of confidential information of any third party by Supplier or its employees, subcontractors, consultants, representatives, and agents; provided, however, University gives Supplier prompt notice in writing of the claim. Supplier may not settle any infringement claim that will affect University’s use Deliverables provided under the Agreement without University’s prior written consent. If a judgment or settlement is obtained or reasonably anticipated against University’s use of any intellectual property for which Supplier has indemnified University, Supplier shall, at Supplier’s sole cost and expense, promptly modify the item or items which were determined to be infringing, acquire a license or licenses on University’s behalf to provide the necessary rights to University to eliminate the infringement, or provide University with a non-infringing substitute that provides University the same functionality.

17. Insurance.

If any partners, directors, officers, employees, licensees, subcontractors, personnel, or agents of Supplier become excluded from Federal health care program participation, such individual shall be removed from participating in this Agreement immediately. Failure by Supplier to remove such excluded individual immediately shall provide University the right to terminate the Agreement immediately for cause.

26. Taxpayer Transparency Act (Nonnegotiable). Under Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-602.01 to 84-602.04, University is required to provide the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services with a copy of each contract that is a basis for an expenditure of state funds, including any amendments and documents incorporated by reference in the contract. Copies of all such contracts and documents will be published by the Nebraska Department of Administrative Services at https://statecontracts.nebraska.gov/. It shall be the sole responsibility of Supplier (a) to notify University of any requested redactions to such contracts and documents and (b) to indicate the legal basis for such requested redactions at the time of execution. In addition, Supplier agrees to defend any challenge to such redactions at its own expense. Supplier’s failure to request redactions to any contracts and documents released by University shall constitute a complete waiver of any and all claims for damages caused by any such release.

27. Public Records (Nonnegotiable). Under Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-712 to 84-712.09, information or records of or belonging to the University regarding, related to, or part of the Agreement will be open to public inspection and copying unless exempted from disclosure in accordance with the University’s interpretation and application of applicable law. It shall be the sole responsibility of Supplier (a) to notify University of requested redactions to any such information or records that may otherwise be required to be open to public inspection and copying and (b) to indicate the legal basis for such requested redactions. In addition, Supplier agrees to defend any challenge to such requested redactions at its own expense.

Supplier’s failure to request redactions to any information or records released by University shall constitute a complete waiver of any and all claims for damages caused by any such release.

28. Nondiscrimination (Nonnegotiable). Supplier agrees that neither it nor any of its subcontractors shall discriminate against any employee, or applicant for employment to be employed in the performance of this Agreement, with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privilege of employment because of the race, color, religion, sex, disability, or national origin of the employee or applicant in accordance with the Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 48-1101 to 48-1125).

Prohibited types of discrimination include discrimination on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex (including sexual harassment), pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, political affiliation, and any other protected status. Supplier shall exercise control over itself, its employees, agents, contractors, and affiliated parties to prohibit acts of discrimination, including sexual harassment, against University students, employees, and other members of the University community. Supplier shall cooperate with University following any report of discrimination.

In the event University determines that Supplier or an employee, agent, contractor, or other person affiliated with Supplier has engaged in discrimination, including harassment, or other inappropriate conduct, Supplier will take prompt and effective action, in accordance with University’s direction, to prevent recurrence of the conduct and to correct its effects, which may include removal of Supplier or the employee, agent, contractor, or other person affiliated with Supplier from providing the Deliverables. Supplier’s failure to comply with University’s directive or any other part of this provision may be cause for immediate termination of this Agreement. Supplier acknowledges that University may have obligations to report any allegations or incidents of discrimination, including sexual harassment. Supplier and employees, agents, contractors, and other persons affiliated with Supplier who are directly providing the Deliverables or present on University premises shall participate in any training as may be required by University from time to time, including training regarding sexual harassment and diversity and inclusion.

30. Criminal Background Investigations. If applicable, Supplier represents and warrants that Supplier has obtained, at its own expense and in a manner compliant with all applicable laws, a background screening for all of its employees who will be present on University premises. Such background screenings shall be completed consistent with current industry standards and shall, at a minimum, include the same degree of thoroughness as the background checks University conducts for its newly hired staff. Supplier agrees to update any background screening upon reasonable request by University, it being agreed that any request based upon the occurrence of any illegal activity involving Supplier or its personnel, or the reasonable suspicion of illegal activity would be deemed reasonable. Supplier shall provide University with evidence of the completion of the required background screenings upon University's request. Alternatively, in the event Supplier is an individual, University may require Supplier complete a background check consistent with current industry standards at University’s request. Supplier shall not hire, retain, or engage any individual directly involved in the performance of services under the Agreement who has been convicted (felony or misdemeanor) of or entered into a court-supervised diversion program for any sexual offense, felony assault (including domestic violence related incidents), child abuse, molestation or other crime involving endangerment of a minor, murder, or kidnapping. Supplier and Supplier’s employees or agents directly performing services under the Agreement cannot be listed on any sex offender registry. Other convictions, such as misdemeanor assault, drug distribution activity, felony drug possession, and any other felony or crime involving moral turpitude may also render Supplier and Supplier’s employees or agents ineligible to directly perform services under the Agreement, taking into consideration (a) the nature and gravity of the offense(s), (b) the time that has passed since the offense or conduct and/or completion of the sentence, and (c) the nature of the services being performed.

Supplier agrees to ensure any third party with whom Supplier engages to provide any part of services provided under the Agreement agrees to the same restrictions, conditions, and requirements of this section in the same capacity as Supplier.

31. Equal Opportunity (Nonnegotiable). If this Agreement is for $10,000 or more and involves federal funds, then Supplier shall comply with 41 CFR §§ 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a), and 60-741.5(a), incorporated by reference with the following statement: “This contractor and subcontractor shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60- 741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities, and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or for inquiring about, discussing, or disclosing compensation. Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.”

32. Affirmative Action Program (Nonnegotiable). If Supplier has fifty (50) or more employees and this Agreement involves $50,000 or more in federal funds, then the Supplier shall develop or maintain an affirmative action program as described in 41 CFR 60‐2 or 41 CFR 60‐741, subpart C , as applicable.

33. Logos or University Marks. Supplier shall not use or display any University name, logo, trademark, service mark (individually a “Mark” and collectively the “Marks”) and/or other indicia designated by University as a source identifier, unless expressly authorized in writing by University. Any unauthorized use of Marks is expressly prohibited. Supplier agrees it will not use University’s name in any manner that acts as an endorsement or is an appearance of any endorsement in any promotion, advertisement, solicitation, or other communication, especially as it relates to Supplier’s business.

34. Right to Audit Privilege (Nonnegotiable). University reserves the right to audit or inspect work performed by Supplier under the Agreement. University may participate directly or through an appointed representative in order to verify that services related to the Agreement have been performed in accordance with the procedures indicated. Provided, nothing in the foregoing shall give University the right to audit the internal books and records of Supplier or entitle University to receive any information from Supplier concerning any costs or expenses incurred by Supplier in connection with performing the services provided for in the Statement of Work.

35. Affiliates. “Affiliates” for the purposes of this Agreement are agents, contractors, consultants, or other entities or individuals who are authorized by University to use the Deliverables. Affiliates may be added by University upon written notice to Supplier. The parties agree Affiliates may avail themselves to the benefits of this Agreement by way of a separate agreement between Affiliate and Supplier. Affiliates include, without limitation, any public agency or instrumentality of the government of the State of Nebraska or political subdivisions within the State of Nebraska, any entity in which the Board of Regents of University has at least a fifty percent (50%) controlling interest, and The Nebraska Medical Center d/b/a Nebraska Medicine.

36. No Personal Liability.

37. Campuses. By virtue of the authority granted by the Board of Regents of University of Nebraska, each Campus may execute certain contracts on their own behalf.

38. Compliance. Supplier and its employees and agents will comply with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, and licensing requirements that are applicable to the conduct of its business, including those of federal, state, and local agencies having jurisdiction and/or authority, as well as applicable University policies.

39. Severability. The terms of the Agreement are severable. If any term or provision is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable the remainder of the provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

40. Incorporation and Priority of Documents. Any document that is ancillary to this Agreement (including without limitation any solicitation, purchase order, addendum, exhibit, appendix, bid, proposal, quotation, or statement of work) (“Ancillary Document”) constitutes part of this Agreement if: (a) attached to the Agreement at execution thereof or (b) signed by an authorized signatory from each party at or subsequent to execution of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any of the following documents, precedence is established by the order of the following documents: (1) duly executed amendments to this Agreement (to the extent not superseded by a subsequent amendment); (2) this Agreement and any Ancillary Document issued by University and incorporated by reference into this Agreement; and (3) any Ancillary Document not issued by University and incorporated by reference into this Agreement. In the event of conflicting or inconsistent provisions between any of the foregoing documents, a document identified with a lower numerical value in this section shall supersede a document identified with a higher numerical value in this section to the extent necessary to resolve any such conflict or inconsistency. In the event an issue is addressed in one of the foregoing documents but is not addressed in another of such documents, no conflict or inconsistency shall be deemed to occur. Where terms and conditions specified in Supplier’s bid, proposal, or quotation differ from the terms and conditions in University’s solicitation, the terms and conditions in the solicitation shall apply. Where terms and conditions specified in Supplier’s bid, proposal, or quotation supplement the terms and conditions in University’s solicitation, the supplemental terms and conditions shall apply only if specifically accepted by University in writing.

41. Survival. Provisions surviving termination or expiration of this Agreement are those which on their face affect rights and obligations after termination or expiration and also include provisions concerning indemnification, confidentiality, representations and warranties, and governing law and venue.

42. Waiver. A waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement by University shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision on any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision contained in this Agreement. Any such waiver must be in writing to be effective, and no such waiver or waivers shall serve to establish a course of performance between the parties contradictory to the terms hereof.

43. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing, sent via certified mail or hand delivery, effective when received, and delivered to the addresses provided on the signature page of this Agreement.

44. Electronic Signatures. Each party agrees that this Agreement and any other documents to be delivered in connection herewith may be electronically signed, and that any electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement or such other documents are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability, and admissibility.

45. Subcontractors. Supplier shall not subcontract all or substantially all of any facet of the services without the prior written approval of University; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that transportation, lodging and other activities included in the Statement of Work shall be provided by third-party vendors. Supplier shall be fully responsible for the acts and omissions of its subcontractors and of the persons directly or indirectly employed by them. Every subcontractor shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that no contractual relationship shall exist between any subcontractor and University, unless evidenced in a separate contract independent of this Agreement with Supplier.

46. Unavailability of Funding (Nonnegotiable). Due to possible future reductions in State and/or Federal funds, University cannot guarantee the continued availability of funding of this Agreement notwithstanding the consideration contained within this Agreement. In the event funds to finance this Agreement become unavailable, either in full or in part, due to such reductions, University may terminate the Agreement or reduce the consideration upon notice in writing to Supplier. Said notice shall be delivered by certified mail (return receipt requested) or in person (with proof of delivery). University shall be the final authority as to the availability of funds. The effective date of such Agreement, termination, or reduction in consideration shall be the actual effective date of the elimination or reduction of funding. In the event of a reduction in consideration, Supplier may cancel this Agreement as of the effective date of the proposed reduction upon the provision of advance written notice to University. Supplier shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work performed up to the date of the notice of termination. In the event of unavailability of funding, University shall not be liable for any penalty, expense, or liability, or for general, special, incidental, consequential, or other damages resulting therefrom.

47. Delivery. All shipments are to be made F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid, according to the delivery information provided in the applicable purchase order. Supplier shall make no partial deliveries under this Agreement without University’s consent unless otherwise indicated in the applicable purchase order.

University may, but shall not be obligated to, inspect Supplier’s performance under this Agreement from time to time. University’s inspection, or lack of inspection, will not constitute an acceptance of any Deliverable or a waiver of any right or warranty or preclude University from rejecting any defective Deliverable. Supplier will coordinate lead times and delivery dates with University. Time is of the essence with respect to delivery of goods and performance of services.

48. Unenforceability of Certain Terms. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of any addendum, exhibit, statement of work, purchase order, or other ancillary document incorporated into this Agreement, any document purporting to require any of the following terms as part of the University’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall have no effect and shall not be enforceable:

Nothing contained within this Statement of Work or the Agreement is intended to shift responsibility from one party to the other and nothing is intended to diminish any rights the parties may have relating to apportionment of responsibility under applicable law.

4. CANCELLATION

4.2. Cancellation Schedule. Subject to the terms of the remainder of this Section 4, and provided that Client has made all payments required under the Payment Schedule, Client may cancel this Statement of Work by providing written notice of the cancellation to PI.
