Addendum is incorporated into the Agreement by this reference. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms of this Addendum shall prevail.

2. Assignment. The Agreement is non-assignable and non-transferrable unless agreed to in writing by the parties. Any attempt by either party to assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the written agreement of the other party shall be void.

3. Governing Law and Forum. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of

Any legal action by Supplier in relation to the Agreement shall be instituted in accordance with the provisions of the Nebraska State

Contract Claims Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 81-8,302 to 81-8,306).

4. Liability. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless

University. 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 the Agreement immediately.

8. Taxpayer Transparency Act. 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.

It shall be the sole responsibility of Supplier (a) to notify University of any requested redactions to the Agreement, any amendment to the Agreement, and any document incorporated by reference into the Agreement and (b) to indicate the legal basis for such requested redactions at the time of execution thereof. In addition, Supplier shall defend any challenge to such redactions at its own expense. Supplier’s failure to request redactions to any contracts or documents released by University under this section shall constitute a complete waiver of any and all claims for damages caused by any such release.

9. Public Records. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-712 to 84-712.09, information or records of or belonging to University regarding, related to, or part of the Agreement will be open to public inspection and copying unless exempted from disclosure in accordance with University’s interpretation and application of applicable law.

If the Agreement is for $15,000 or more and involves federal funds, then Supplier shall comply with 41 CFR

§§ 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a), which are incorporated herein by this reference. These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and require action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to disability or veteran status.

741, subpart C. If Supplier has fifty (50) or more employees and the Agreement involves payment of https://statecontracts.nebraska.gov/

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.

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.

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.

Your final menu selections must be made no later than 10 days prior to commencement of your Event. A Banquet Event Order will be sent to you to confirm all final arrangements and prices. If you do not advise Hotel of any corrections or changes to the Banquet Event Order by the date requested by Hotel, the Banquet Event Order will be considered accepted by you as correct. Group will be responsible for the charges listed on the Banquet Event Order or the Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue figure, whichever is greater, plus applicable tax and service charges. 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.

ALL RESERVATIONS AND THIS AGREEMENT are subject to the rules and regulations of Hotel and the following conditions:

SERVICE CHARGE: A service charge of 25% (or the current service charge in effect on the day of the Event) will be assessed on all charges relating to your Event including, but not limited to, food and beverage, audio visual, connectivity, meeting room rental, labor fees and any other charges relating to your Event, plus any applicable state and/or local taxes. This service charge is not a gratuity and is the property of Hotel to cover discretionary and administrative costs of the Event. 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.

PARKING: Your attendees will be charged parking fees at Hotel’s standard rates.

AGREED MINIMUM FOOD AND BEVERAGE REVENUE: Based on the above Schedule of Events, the “Agreed Minimum Food and Beverage Revenue” is $.00. This amount does not include applicable room rental $600.00, 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.

FACILITIES AND SERVICES COMMITMENT: When you contract for meeting facilities and for food and beverage services, those 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 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 contracted food and beverage services for the above Schedule of Events ("attrition"). In most instances, when groups do not use their contracted facilities or services, the Hotel is unable to resell those facilities or services and even when the facilities 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 facilities or services may be resold, it is costly to re-market the facilities and services, and such efforts divert the attention of our sales staff from selling the Hotel’s facilities and services for other times. And 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 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

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 plus applicable taxes.

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.

For purpose of clarity, Group shall not be responsible for the individual reservations made pursuant to the courtesy room block, as those room charges (including any cancellation charges associated with the guestroom reservations) are the responsibility of the individuals making the reservations and governed by the hotel’s standard guest cancellation policy.

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.
