Upon request by University, Supplier shall furnish to University certificates of insurance evidencing that such insurance is effective prior to provision of the Deliverables. 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 this Agreement. Supplier shall assess its own risks and, if it deems appropriate, maintain higher limits or broader coverages.

Stat.§§ 81-8,302 to 81-8,306), as amended.

15. Conflict of Interest. Supplier certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that there are no potential organizational conflicts of interest related to this Agreement. If Supplier cannot so certify, it shall provide to University a disclosure statement that describes all relevant information concerning any potential conflict of interest under this Agreement. In the event the potential conflict of interest cannot be resolved, University may declare this Agreement void and of no further force or effect and University shall have no further obligations under this Agreement.

16. Work Status Verification. Supplier and its subcontractors shall use a federal immigration verification system to determine the work eligibility status of new employees physically performing services within the State of Nebraska pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat.§§ 4-108 to 4-114, as amended.

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.

Stat. § 84-602.01, as may be amended), University is required to provide the Nebraska Department of

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 to notify University of any requested redactions to such contracts and documents under Neb. Rev. Stat.§ 84-712.05(3) at the time of execution. In addition, Supplier agrees to defend any challenge to such redactions at its own expense.

19. Nondiscrimination. 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, https://statecontracts.nebraska.gov/ religion, sex, disability, or national origin of the employee or applicant in accordance with the Nebraska Fair

Supplier shall cooperate with the 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 the 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 the University's directive or any other part of this provision may be cause for immediate termination of this Agreement.

University and incorporated by reference into this Agreement; and 3) any Ancillary Document not issued by the University and incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

31. 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.

32. 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.

33. 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.

34. Subcontractors. Supplier shall not subcontract all or substantially all of any facet of the services without the prior written approval of University. 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.

35. Unavailability of Funding. 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, the University shall not be liable for any penalty, expense, or liability, or for general, special, incidental, consequential, or other damages resulting therefrom.

36. 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 the 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 the University. Time is of the essence with respect to delivery of goods and performance of services.

Regents Policies, as well as Nebraska State laws.

1. PILOT PROGRAM

ITS, at its sole discretion, may elect to conduct trial programs and/or proof of concepts under this Agreement ("Pilot Program"). If, after conducting a trial or proof of concept, ITS elects to continue with the full deployment, negotiations between ITS and the Service Provider regarding the requirements of the full deployment including all applicable royalties, fees, work plan, and appropriate timeline will occur. ITS makes no guarantee that such negotiations will occur. There may be fees related to the Pilot Program which will be negotiated between

Service Provider and ITS on a case by case basis.

2. OWNERSHIP AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

2.1 Service Provider owns and retains all right, title and interest in Service Provider-Owned Materials. ITS owns and retains all right, title and interest in ITS's Owned Materials. ITS Students own and retain all right, title and interest in ITS Student-Owned Material. ITS acknowledges and agrees that, unless otherwise agreed by Service Provider in writing, Service Provider is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, including but not limited to all patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, and other proprietary rights in the systems, programs, specifications, user documentation, and other Service Provider-Owned Materials used by Service Provider in the course of its provision of services hereunder. ITS also acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement, ITS acquires no ownership rights in Service Provider-Owned Materials.

ITS shall not copy, transfer, sell, distribute, assign, display, or otherwise make Service Provider-Owned

Materials available to third parties. Service Provider acquires no rights of ownership in or to the ITS owned

Materials or the Student-Owned Materials; or anything that is provided to Service Provider by ITS, including but not limited to business processes, software and related documentation. Any modifications or enhancements to the ITS Owned Materials or the Student-Owned Materials including those suggested or implemented by Service Provider, shall belong to ITS. Service Provider agrees that its rights to use any such materials or data provided by ITS, including all ITS-owned Materials is limited to such use as is necessary to permit Service Provider to perform Services and obligations in this Agreement.

2.2 ITS has the responsibility for providing Service Provider with the copyright notice language to appear on websites, delivered course content and/or assessments, and on any related practice and/or demonstration materials. Service Provider will have the responsibility for ensuring that the copyright notice language provided to Service Provider by ITS will appear as provided on any applicable materials. Any copyright notice language or other language acknowledging Service

Provider's ownership or other legal rights of Service Provider which appears on websites, course content and/or assessments, and in any practice and/or demonstrational materials will be limited to such language as is necessary to protect Service Provider's legal rights. Unless provided to

Service Provider by ITS, no language acknowledging the legal rights of any third party shall appear on materials without the prior written consent of ITS.

2.3 Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, any and all Deliverables

(defined below) shall be the sole and exclusive property of ITS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the intellectual capital (including without limitation, ideas, methodologies, processes, inventions and tools) developed or possessed by Service Provider prior to, or acquired during, the performance of the Scope of Work shall be Service Provider-Owned Material.

2.4 Upon ITS' request or upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Service

Provider shall deliver or return all copies of the work to ITS. Service Provider is permitted, subject to its obligations of confidentiality, to retain one copy of the work for archival purposes and to defend its work product.

2.5 Service Provider and ITS intend this Agreement to be a contract for services and each considers any tangible work products identified as deliverables ("Deliverables") during the Term or Terms of this Agreement to be a work made for hire. If for any reasons the Deliverables would not be considered a work made for hire under applicable law, Service Provider does hereby sell, assign and transfer to ITS, its successors, and assigns, the entire right, title and interest in and to the copyright and any registrations and copyright applications relating thereto and renewals and extensions thereof, and in and to all works based upon, derived from or incorporating the

Deliverables, and in and to all income, royalties damages, claims and payments now or hereafter due or payable with respect thereto, and in and to all causes of action, either in law or equity for past, present, or future infringement based on the copyrights, and in and to all rights corresponding to the foregoing throughout the world. Service Provider agrees to execute all documents and to perform such other proper acts asITS may deem necessary to secure for ITS the rights in the

Deliverables.

2.6 Other than Deliverables and Service Provider-Owned Materials, the tangible property and work products created by Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement ("Work Product'') shall mutually belong to ITS and Service Provider and each shall be free to use such Work Product without permission of or payment of royalty to the other. As to tangible products and work products identified as Deliverables during the Term or Terms of this Agreement, all Deliverables shall be owned exclusively by ITS.

ITS's business also depends substantially upon the accumulation and application of learning, knowledge, data, techniques, tools, processes, and generic materials that it utilizes and develops through collaboration with Service Provider and other service providers. Accordingly, to the extent material that is used in, enhanced, or developed in the course of providing Services hereunder is of a general abstract character, or may be generically re-used, and does not contain Confidential Information of ITS, then Service Provider will own such material including, without limitation: methodologies; delivery strategies, approaches and practices; generic software tools, routines, and components; generic content, research and background materials; training materials; application building blocks; templates; analytical models;
