§§ 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a), which are incorporated herein by this reference.

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.

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.

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.

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 prov isions 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 12:00 PM on departure day. The Hotel wou ld 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. Should the Hotel allow for late check-out; it may impose a half day rate.

GUEST ROOM CHARGES

Room only charged to Master Account: You will be paying your Event guests’ room, applicable tax, and parking. Accordingly, all such charges incurred by Event guests will be charged to your Master Account. In order to be able to access the ancillary services of the Hotel, 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 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).

AGREED MINIMUM ROOM NIGHT REVENUE: Based on the Total Contracted Rooms and the stated rates, the “Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue” is $2,780.00.

ROOM BLOCK COMMITMENT: When you contract for a block of rooms, those room nights 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 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 ("attrition"). In most instances, when groups do not use their contracted room nights, the Hotel is unable to resell those room nights and even when room nights 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 may be resold, it is costly to re-market the rooms and such efforts divert the attention of our sales staff from selling the Hotel’s rooms 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 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 20% 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. 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 plus applicable taxes.

Cancelled more than 181 days prior to arrival 50% of total amount, plus applicable taxes

Cancelled 91 - 180 days prior to arrival 75% of total amount, plus applicable taxes

Cancelled within 90 days prior to arrival 90% of total amount, plus applicable taxes

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.

FORCE MAJEURE: No damages from either Party shall be due for a failure of performance due to Acts of God, war, terrorist act, riots, disaster or strikes, any one of which, to the extent, making performance impossible. Moreover, it will be considered a Force Majeure event if, within sixty days in advance of the scheduled event, the World Health Organization declares a pandemic, as the World Health Organization defines that term (or a previous such declaration remains in place), and as a result a government entity (other than Group or its affiliates in the case of a cancellation by Group) imposes a travel ban, or attendance ban for the location of the event that has the effect of prohibiting attendance at the event or use of the hotel facilities. In the case of a Force Majeure event, the non-performing party may terminate this Agreement, without liability, upon written notification. The Hotel shall have no liability for power disruptions of any kind.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS: DB M498 If you wish to apply for credit, please complete the enclosed direct bill application form and return it with the signed Agreement. Unless prohibited by law, a 2.5% processing fee will be assessed on credit card payments.

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.

If credit is approved only in part, credit will apply only with respect to the last deposits to be made up to the extent of the approval and all pr ior deposits (and any balance on any deposit for which partial credit is established) must be made in accordance with the below schedule.

During the course of your Event, we would be pleased to meet with you each day at a mutually agreed upon time to review the charges applied to your

Master Account and to keep it accurate and up to date. Please inform your Event Services Manager of a convenient time that you wish to establish for a daily meeting.

If credit was not established and maintained, any Master Account balance is due at the conclusion of the Event.

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 co llection action, including reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be payable by Group and may be posted to the Master Account.
