12. Logos or University Marks. Supplier shall not use or display any University campus 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.

Agreement, provided written notification to the vice president for business and finance or relevant vice chancellor for business and finance, as applicable, of Supplier’s status as, relation to, or association with a

University employee and of the Agreement. If an actual or potential conflict of interest related to the

Agreement arises during the Term, Supplier shall provide to the vice president for business and finance or relevant vice chancellor for business and finance, as applicable, a written disclosure statement that describes all relevant information concerning the actual or potential conflict of interest.

University shall have no further obligations under the Agreement.

16. 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.

17. Insurance. Supplier shall at its own expense obtain and maintain throughout the term of the

Agreement general commercial liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death, and property damage with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, and $3,000,000.00 general aggregate to cover such liability caused by, or arising out of, activities of Supplier and its agents and/or employees while engaged in or preparing for the provision of the goods or services provided under the Agreement. If the goods or services include providing technology services, software, or support, Supplier shall obtain and maintain cyber liability insurance coverage of not less than $10,000,000.00 per occurrence and in the aggregate to cover such liability resulting or arising from acts, errors, or omissions in rendering such

Revised: 160425 technology services, software, or support. Upon request by University, Supplier shall furnish to University certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance is effective prior to commencement of work under the

Agreement. By requiring such minimum insurance, University shall not be deemed or construed to have assessed the risk or limited the liability that may be applicable to Supplier under the Agreement. Supplier shall assess its own risks and, if it deems appropriate, maintain higher limits or broader coverages. Supplier shall, upon request, include University as an additional insured on its general liability insurance policy on a primary and non-contributory basis. Supplier is not relieved of any liability or other obligations assumed or pursuant to the Agreement by reason of its failure to obtain or maintain insurance in sufficient amounts, duration, or types.

In the event funds to finance the 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 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 the 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 effective date of the 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.

20. No Personal Liability. In no event shall any regent, official, officer, employee, agent, or student of

University be personally liable or responsible for any representation, statement, covenant, warranty, or obligation contained in, or made in connection with, the Agreement, express or implied.

21. Foreign Adversary Certification. The terms in this section defined in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 73-903 shall have the meaning defined therein.

Stat. § 73-906(2) applies, Supplier certifies that it is not a scrutinized company, it will not subcontract with any scrutinized company for any aspect of performance of the

Agreement, and any products or services provided under the Agreement do not originate with a scrutinized company. The certification set forth in this section shall be an ongoing certification during the term of the

Agreement and Supplier shall immediately notify University of any change in the status of the certification set forth in this section.

PARKING: Complimentary

Group shall be solely and fully responsible for informing its attendees of these fees and that they are separate and distinct from the room rate and from taxes. Group may not, in any printed materials regarding the Event or in any other manner, lump these fees into any category such as tax or room rate.

COMPLIMENTARY ACCOMMODATIONS

ROOM RESERVATION PROCEDURES

In order to assign specific room types to your attendees, each guest room in your Room Block must be confirmed no later than Sunday, August 31, 2025 (“Reservation Due Date”). The Hotel has no obligation to provide room nights beyond those contained in the Room Block.

Online reservations

In order to assign individuals to specific rooms, room reservations will be required. Your attendees must make their reservation requests online, through the web address (property to insert website address for reservations here). Attendees must identify themselves online as part of your group by inserting the group identification code, which will be provided to you by Hotel. You must separately provide the Hotel with any attendee’s VIP status. It would be appreciated if the Hotel could be included on the attendee mailing list (traditional mail or e-mail), to stay informed as to when reservations are likely to begin arriving. The Hotel does not confirm reservations to individual attendees in writing. The Hotel reserves the right to change the method used, information required, email address or other aspects of the reservation process.

After Reservation Due Date as described above and prior to your arrival date, all room nights which have not been reserved as described above will be deemed to be room nights which your group will not use, and they will become subject to the attrition provisions herein. Such room nights will at that date be returned to the Hotel's general inventory. Reservation requests from your attendees received after Reservation Due Date will be accepted on a space available basis, at the higher of the contract rate or rate available at that time. Should such requests be accepted, such room nights will be credited to your block for purposes of any calculation of attrition.

CHECK-IN I CHECK-OUT

Guest accommodations will be available at 4:00 PM on arrival day and reserved until 11:00 AM on departure day. The Hotel would appreciate receiving flight arrival times for your group, if available. Any attendee wishing special consideration for late checkout should inquire at the front desk on the day of departure.

GUEST ROOM CHARGES

No charges to Master Account:

Each Event guest will pay his or her account upon departure. Group assumes full and sole responsibility for informing all attendees of the room rate, applicable taxes, and are separate and distinct from the room rate and from taxes. When reservations are made, we will require a deposit equal to the room rate and tax for the first night for each reservation. An individual’s deposit is refundable to that individual only in accordance with the Hotel’s standard guest cancellation policy, though this shall have no bearing upon the Group’s total liability pursuant to either the attrition or cancellation clauses herein.

Group shall inform its attendees of this policy. Each guest will be required to present a valid credit card upon check-in on which an amount of sufficient pre-authorization can be obtained to cover the room, and tax charges for the length of the guest’s stay, plus any charges for the guest’s use of the Hotel’s ancillary services. Should any guest not settle his or her account in full upon departure, you will be responsible for the outstanding balance (which may be added to your Master Account or billed to you separately).

MEETING REQUIREMENTS

The Hotel will provide your requested function space in accordance with and at the rates set forth in the following Schedule of Events. The Hotel reserves the right to adjust function space at the reservations due date if attendance projects lower than contracted. Please ensure that the Schedule of Events includes all space necessary to accommodate your set-up and break-down times, all audio-visual needs, head tables and displays. Diagrams and identification of the Hotel’s meeting space to be used for your Event may not be disseminated by the Group without the Hotel’s prior approval.

We will endeavor to notify you in advance of your Event of any increases to the service charge should different amounts be in effect on the day of your Event.

AGREED MINIMUM FOOD AND BEVERAGE REVENUE: Based on the above Schedule of Events, the “Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue” is $15,000.00. This amount does not include applicable room rental $1,000.00), service charges, or taxes, if applicable, which are noted separately herein, and any additional requested function space or food and beverage shall be extra. If the Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue Figure is not met, any balance will be posted as a food and beverage attrition charge to your Master Account, plus applicable taxes and service charges.

ROOM BLOCK AND SERVICES COMMITMENT: When you contract for a block of rooms and meeting facilities and for food and beverage services, those room nights, facilities and services are removed from our inventory and considered sold to you, and the Hotel makes financial plans based upon the revenues it expects to achieve from your full performance of this Agreement. It is impossible for the Hotel to know in advance whether or under what circumstances or at what rates it would be able to resell your contracted room nights, services or facilities if you do not use them, either as the result of a cancellation of your Event (“cancellation”) or as the result of usage of less than your Total Contracted Rooms and/or contracted food and beverage services for the above Schedule of Events ("attrition"). In most instances, when groups do not use their contracted room nights or services, the Hotel is unable to resell those room nights or services and even when room nights or services are resold, they are generally not resold at the same rates, may be resold to groups which would have utilized the Hotel at another time, are resold to groups that do have the same needs as the original group, etc. Even when rooms or services may be resold, it is costly to re-market the rooms and facilities, and such efforts divert the attention of our sales staff from selling the Hotel’s rooms and facilities for other times. While your Room Block has been held out of our inventory, we may have turned away more lucrative groups in order to meet our commitment to you.

For all these reasons and others, the Parties agree that in the event of cancellation or attrition, the following charges, which represent a reasonable effort on behalf of the Hotel to establish its loss prospectively, shall be due as liquidated damages. Because the Hotel reasonably expects to derive revenue from your Event above and beyond the revenue derived from the provision of room nights and food and beverage services, and because it is difficult to estimate the actual revenue which may be derived from your Event, the amounts due as and for liquidated damages are intended to compensate the Hotel for all of its losses associated with cancellation and/or attrition.

ATTRITION: We agree to allow for a 100% reduction from the Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue, (“Permitted Attrition”). At the conclusion of your Event, we will credit against the Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue the guest room revenue derived from your Event, and also credit any Permitted Attrition. Any balance will be posted as a charge to your Master Account, plus applicable taxes and service charges.

CANCELLATION: It is understood that Hotel loses substantial revenue upon the Group’s cancellation of an event. The amount of those losses is often difficult or impossible to determine. Hotel has set forth the following fee schedule in the event of cancellation. The parties agree that these fees are a fair and reasonable estimation of Hotel’s loss as a result of cancellation. Group shall pay the cancellation fee as liquidated damages, plus applicable taxes, if

Group cancels or is deemed to have cancelled the Event.

If any single function is cancelled, the Group is responsible for the meeting room rental and any other applicable charges associated with that function. The

Group is still expected to meet the Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue. Group agrees to notify Hotel in writing within five (5) business days of any decision to cancel. If the entire Event is cancelled Group agrees to pay Hotel, as follows:

CANCELLATION FEES:

Cancellation Fee is based on Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue and Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue, all other applicable Event charges (e.g., setup charges, audio visual charges, etc.), service charges for a total amount plus applicable taxes.

Cancelled more than 181 days prior to arrival 60%

Cancelled 91 - 180 days prior to arrival 80%

Cancelled within 90 days prior to arrival 90%

Your written notice of cancellation must be delivered to Hotel, and may be made by facsimile or electronic transmission. Cancellation date will be considered the date such notification was received by Hotel. Liquidated damages resulting from cancellation shall be due and payable at the time of cancellation.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS: If you wish to apply for credit, please complete the enclosed direct bill application form and return it with the signed Agreement. If you wish to pay by credit card, please complete the enclosed Credit Card Authorization form and return it with the signed

Agreement. Unless prohibited by law, a 2.5% processing fee will be assessed on credit card payments on contracts involving an aggregate amount greater than $10,000.

Please note that any credit approvals will expire after 12 months. In addition, Hotel reserves the right to withdraw a prior credit approval if Group fails to pay in full charges associated with any prior event at the Hotel or any other hotel owned or operated by Atrium Hospitality or its affiliates, or if there is any material adverse change in Group’s credit standing. If credit approval is withdrawn or expires, Group must make deposit payments in accordance with the below schedule, with Group paying any previously scheduled deposit amounts by the earlier of (A) five (5) days after the Hotel notifies Group of the withdrawal or expiration of credit, or (B) three (3) days prior to the date of the Event.

* Final deposit payment must be by credit card, certified or official bank check, money order, or bank transfer, with wiring instructions to be provided by

Hotel. Unless prohibited by law, a 2.5% processing fee will be assessed on credit card payments on contracts involving an aggregate amount greater than $10,000.

Checks and money orders should be made payable to Embassy Suites Omaha - La Vista/Hotel & Conference Center and be delivered to:

Embassy Suites Omaha - La Vista/Hotel & Conference Center Attention: Accounting Department 12520 Westport Parkway La Vista, NE 68128

You are responsible for ensuring any wire is sent to the correct account. If you receive wire instructions not sent through Sertifi at any time, even if the same appear to be sent by the Hotel, you must verify the same by calling the hotel accounting office using a trusted known or independently verified phone number.

If any deposit payment is not made when due, Hotel may, at its option, deem the Event to be canceled, in which case cancellation charges will apply as noted above and the Hotel will retain any deposits on hand and apply them to the cancellation charges.

In addition to any other amounts authorized by this Agreement, the following items shall be charged to the Master Account: banquet food and beverage charges, service charges, attrition charges, meeting space rental charges (if any), cancellation charges, (charges for third-party services and/or supplies arranged through the Hotel), (audio-visual charges) and any other charges billed to the Master Account at the request of the authorized representative of the Group, as designated by the Group in advance of the Event, plus applicable taxes and governmental charges. Group further agrees that all charges associated with use of the grounds, function space, facilities and services of the Hotel by its vendors shall be posted to the Master Account.

If credit was not established and maintained, any Master Account balance is due at the conclusion of the Event. Where credit was established and maintained, the Master Account balance will be invoiced to the Group within 10 days after the Event concludes, and shall be due and payable by Group within 10 days after the date of invoice. Master Account charges may be paid in the form of a check or bank transfer. All deposits, balances or charges not paid when due will bear interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Should the Hotel, in its sole discretion, deem collection action necessary in regard to any amounts payable by Group under this Agreement, all costs associated with that collection action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be payable by Group and may be posted to the Master Account.

Individual guest accounts are paid via the credit card provided by the guest at check-in.
