Early Departure Charge.

Arrival Date.

The term “Arrival Date” in this Agreement refers to earlier of the first date of the Room Block and the first of any Functions.

Sleeping Room Reservations.

Group must submit a rooming list utilizing the template provided by the Hotel no later than the Cutoff Date. If rooming list is received in a different format than the hotel’s template, an hourly fee of $75.00 will be charged to convert the list by the Hotel’s associate into the hotel’s template. If guests identified on the rooming list do not check in, Group’s Master Account will be charged for the first night of all no-shows and any sleeping room cancellations made within 23 hours before the Arrival Date.

Sleeping Room Payment.

Group will be responsible for sleeping room rates (including any tax) for all attendees. Incidental charges (e.g. room service, gift shop charges and in-room entertainment fees) will be turned off for each player room.

Cutoff Date. After September 23, 2026 by 11:00 AM (the “Cutoff Date”), Hotel shall be permitted to release, for sale to the general public or to other groups, any room nights in the Room Block that have not been reserved as provided in this Agreement. Hotel will continue to accept reservations from Group’s attendees after that date at the prevailing room rate, subject to availability. The release of room nights after the Cutoff Date shall not release Group from any liability for Sleeping Room Performance as provided in this Agreement.

Check-in / Check-out: Guest accommodations will be available at 1:30 PM on arrival day and reserved until 6:00 PM on departure day. Any attendee wishing special consideration for late checkout should inquire at the front desk on the day of departure.

Intermediary Fee/Commission The University of Nebraska room rates listed above are commissionable at 7% to Anthony Travel, IATA #15517445.

Anthony Travel is being compensated for its services with a 7% placement fee, paid by the Hotel, on actual room revenue. The Hotel confirms the rates offered have not been increased to offset the placement fee. The University of Nebraska will advise Anthony Travel of these rates and address any resulting agency compensation issues directly with the management of Anthony Travel.

Under no circumstances will Hotel be required to pay more than one commission or rebate, if applicable, or any commission or rebate greater than the amount specified above. Hotel will pay any commission or rebate due within thirty (30) days after Hotel receives full payment of all amounts due under this Agreement. Hotel shall be permitted to deduct from the commission or rebate any amounts corresponding sleeping room rates that are subject to credit card disputes. Group (or Agent, if Agent is signing this Agreement on behalf of Group) assumes all responsibility for determining whether disclosure of the commission or rebate beyond the inclusion of this section in this Agreement is required and for making such disclosure if it is required, and further agrees to indemnify Hotel from and against any fees, costs, liabilities or expenses that Hotel incurs should any person claim that disclosure was insufficient.

Sleeping Room Performance.

Group acknowledges that if it uses the Hotel, but Group and/or Group’s guests do not purchase the full amount of the Room Block, then Hotel will be harmed. Group also acknowledges that the actual amount of Hotel’s damages from sale of less than the full amount of the Room Block would be difficult to calculate. Therefore, the parties agree that if the Hotel is used, but less than seventy percent (70 %) of the Total Guestroom Revenue identified in the table above is generated, then Group shall pay Hotel, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the difference between the immediately aforementioned percentage of the Total Guestroom Revenue and the actual guestroom revenue generated, plus any applicable taxes (the “Sleeping Room Performance Fee”). Any Sleeping Room Performance Fee will be added to the Master Account.

1-517-482-0188

Hotel reserves the right to assign and change specific Function space at its discretion. Group must obtain final written approval from Hotel before publishing function room names.

Function Room Set-up and Operation. Group must obtain advance written approval from Hotel before Group, or any independent contractor of Group, may set up its own equipment, displays or facilities for any Function. Group and/or any such contractor shall coordinate all such deliveries/set ups with sufficient advance notice to Hotel. Group will be responsible and shall indemnify Hotel for any damage that Group, or its employees, agents or contractors, causes to persons or property arising out of or related to any property brought to Hotel’s premises by Group or any contractor of Group or by setup or operation of any equipment, facilities or displays on the premises of Hotel by Group or any independent contractor of Group.

If there are extensive function room set-ups or elaborate staging, Hotel may charge additional set-up fees. If equipment is necessary that exceeds Hotel's inventory, then Group agrees to pay for the cost of renting the additional equipment.

If any rigging is required, it must be arranged through the Hotel and Group shall be responsible for all rigging costs.

Any changes that are made within Forty eight (48) hours prior to event start will have an additional resetting fee up to five hundred dollars ($500.00).

Food and Beverage Performance.

The rates and concessions contained in this Agreement are based in part on the booked or anticipated Functions, and the Total Anticipated Food and Beverage Revenue identified above. Group acknowledges that if it uses the Hotel, but does not generate the Total Anticipated Food and Beverage Revenue (whether due to cancellation of Functions, reduced attendance of such Functions or otherwise), then Hotel will be harmed, and that the precise amount of such harm would be difficult to calculate. Therefore, the parties agree that if the Hotel is used, but less than ($ $10,000.00) (the “Food and Beverage Minimum”) is generated from sale of food and beverages at Functions, not including any, tips, tax, audio-visual, parking or any other miscellaneous charges, and also not including any revenue from individual sales of food and beverage ordered by Group’s guests, outside of Functions (the “Food and Beverage Revenue”), then Group shall pay Hotel, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the difference between the Food and Beverage Minimum and the actual Food and Beverage Revenue generated (the “Food and Beverage Performance Fee”). Any Food and Beverage Performance Fee will be added to the Master Account. The Food and Beverage Performance Fee shall be added to the Master Account.

Additional Food & Beverage Policies Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in advance and in writing, all food and beverage served on the premises of Hotel must be supplied and prepared by Hotel. In addition, no remaining food or beverage shall be removed from the premises of the Hotel. At the conclusion of any Function, such food and beverage shall become the property of Hotel.

Food and Beverage prices shall be quoted exclusive of any applicable taxes and administrative fees. Group shall be responsible for all such taxes and administrative fees. Group must submit final menu selections to Hotel no later than 30 days prior to the Arrival Date (the “Menu Deadline”).

If Group fails to respond, by the Menu Deadline, to any menu proposals submitted by Hotel to Group for any Function, then Hotel may (a) deem as approved by Group any menu proposals it has submitted to Group or, (b) if Hotel has not submitted any such proposals, make its own selections. Other than specifically stated in the approved menu or otherwise agreed in a separate writing signed by Group and an authorized representative of Hotel, Hotel will not be responsible for any specific dietary requests or requirements.

Group must notify Hotel of the final attendance count for each Function no later than 7 days prior to the Arrival Date. If Group fails to notify Hotel of the final attendance count for a Function by the deadline above, the final attendance count shall be deemed to be the number designated for such Function in this Agreement. Group shall have no discretion to reduce the final attendance count for any Function after the deadline above, and will be charged based on the final attendance count irrespective of the number of people who actually attend the Function.

If Hotel, at its discretion, presents a copy of the Master Account to an Authorized Representative of Group during the Function, the Authorized Representative shall review the Master Account before the end of the Function, and shall sign the Master Account if all charges therein are consistent with this Agreement and otherwise acceptable. Any such presentation or acceptance of the Master Account shall not prohibit Hotel from making later adjustments to the Master Account if such adjustments are consistent with this Agreement.

LIQUOR LICENSE

CLIENT understands that HOTEL’s liquor license requires that beverages only be dispensed by HOTEL employees or bartenders. Alcoholic beverage service may be denied to those guests who appear to be intoxicated or are underage.

1-517-482-0188

Outside Contractors.

If Group intends to use the services of any contractor unaffiliated with Hotel to provide any services within the Hotel’s premises (including, without limitation, security companies, decorators, florists and audio-visual service providers), Group shall provide written notice to Hotel at least 30 days before the Arrival Date identifying the contractor(s), and the contractor(s) shall not be allowed onto the premises of the Hotel without Hotel’s advance written consent. Hotel may require the execution of an indemnity agreement and certain minimum insurance coverages as part of that consent.

If Hotel is required under any collective bargaining agreement, requirements contract or any other contract to incur any expense if a particular service provider or set of employees does not perform services that Group wishes to perform itself or to have performed by an outside contractor, then Group shall be responsible for these expenses, which shall be added to the Master Account.

BILLING/CREDIT PROCEDURES.

Group’s Master Account. The term “Master Account” means a running invoice that includes all amounts payable by Group to Hotel under any provision of this Agreement. At least forty-five (45) days before the Arrival Date, Group will identify to Hotel, in writing, at least one representative of Group who will be present on the premises of Hotel (each an “Authorized Representative”). Group hereby authorizes each Authorized Representative to incur additional charges to the Master Account, for example by signing banquet event orders. The following individual(s), whether or not they are present at the Hotel, shall have authority to incur charges to the Master Account.

Direct Billing. Group may use the Hotel without making any advance deposit and be invoiced for the amount of the Master Account (“Direct Billing”) if Hotel provides advance written approval of such direct billing. Group may apply to Hotel for Direct Billing by requesting, completing and submitting an application form provided by Hotel. Hotel shall have sole and absolute discretion to deny any credit application or to approve less than the full amount of credit requested.

Outstanding Balance. Any outstanding balance of the Master Account will be due and payable by Group upon receipt of an invoice from Hotel. If payment is not received within thirty (30) days, a finance charge equal to the lesser of one and one half percent (1-1/2%) per month (18% Annual Rate) and the maximum allowed by law will be added to the unpaid balance commencing on the invoice date. Any payment by Group or acceptance by Hotel of an amount less than any amount due by Group shall be deemed solely as a partial payment of the full amount due. No endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Hotel may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Hotel’s right to recover the balance of all amounts due or pursue any other remedies available to Hotel under this Agreement or in law or in equity. Should the Group dispute a charge on the Master Account, the Group shall remit the undisputed amount to the Hotel at the same time it provides notice of the dispute to the Hotel.

Cancellation Concessions:

Hotel acknowledges and agrees that “Group” (Nebraska Football) is traveling to compete in a football game scheduled for September 26, 2026 at Michigan State University, football stadium. Should any one of the following occur it would make it impossible for “Group” (Nebraska Football) to travel and therefor “Group” (Nebraska Football) may cancel at any time without penalties, fees, or liquidated damages, and a full refund will be issued to Group of all amounts paid by Group.

• Football game scheduled for September 26, 2026 at the Michigan State University football stadium is cancelled, rescheduled, or moved more than 30 miles away for any reason.

• Hotel becomes unable to provide banquet meals.

CANCELLATION.

Cancellation by Group. The following table contains an estimate (which the parties acknowledge and agree is reasonable) of the revenue to be generated from the Group’s use of the Hotel. The table itself is not intended to warrant that the Group’s use of the Hotel will generate these amounts of revenue. Neither is the table intended to prevent Hotel from generating more than these amounts of revenue from the Group’s use of the Hotel.

Summary of Revenue Anticipated by Hotel from Group

Total Anticipated Sleeping Room Revenue $ 19,321.00

Total Anticipated Food and Beverage Revenue $ 10,000.00

Anticipated Function Room Usage Fees $ -

Total Anticipated Revenue** $ 29,321.00

** This figure does not include service charges, taxes or fees for services by any authorized outside vendors.

1-517-482-0188

Group acknowledges that if it cancels or otherwise substantially abandons the Agreement (a “Cancellation”), Hotel will be harmed. Group further acknowledges that the later Group notifies Hotel of a Cancellation, the more harm Hotel will likely incur, because Hotel will have less time to mitigate its damages by marketing the sleeping room nights and function rooms to other customers and individual guests. Group also acknowledges that the actual amount of Hotel’s damages from any Cancellation would be difficult to calculate. Therefore, the parties agree that if a Cancellation should occur for any reason (including Group’s relocation to another hotel or resort), then Group shall pay Hotel, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the applicable amount identified below, plus any applicable taxes (a “Cancellation Fee”).

Group must provide Hotel any notice of a Cancellation in writing. If Group does not provide written notice of any Cancellation, then Hotel may assess any higher Cancellation Fee owed under the above schedule at the time it receives written confirmation of the Cancellation or the highest amount identified above if it receives no written confirmation.

The parties agree that the amounts in the above schedule are based on reasonable estimates of Hotel’s harm from Cancellation. Any Cancellation Fee will be added to the Master Account. Any Cancellation Fee shall be due and payable immediately upon Cancellation.

Flex Scheduling Contract Terms:

Hotel acknowledges that at the time of signing this Agreement the game time and tentative date of Saturday, September 26, 2026 is not confirmed by the Big Ten Conference. If and when the tentative game of Saturday, September 26, 2026 is confirmed by the Big Ten Conference, this Agreement will be stand as confirmed and all terms outlined within in the Agreement will apply.

If the game is rescheduled to Friday, September 25, 2026, or any other date in 2026, Hotel has a first right of refusal to offer a proposal for the alternate dates based on prevailing availability. If the new proposal is not equal in terms, price, meeting room size and layout, or sleeping room type to the currently contracted terms, or if Hotel cannot offer first option availability, then Hotel and Group agree that this signed Agreement will be void and cancelled without penalties, fees, or liquidated damages, and Group will receive a full refund of any deposits paid by Group.

If or when the Big Ten publicly announces an alternate game date other than Saturday, September 26, 2026, Hotel and Group will confirm in writing no later than 48 hours of such time.

Force Majeure. Either party may cancel the Agreement without liability to the other party upon the occurrence of any event or circumstance beyond the control of such party, including acts of God, declared war in the United States, acts of terrorism in the city where the Hotel premises is located, government regulations, disaster, strikes or civil disorder, curtailment of transportation that prevents at least fifty percent (50%) of the attendees from attending the peak night of the Room Block, to the extent that the above described event(s) or circumstance(s) makes it illegal or impossible for Hotel to provide, or for Group in general to use, the premises of Hotel. The Agreement cannot be cancelled under this section because of general economic conditions, including (without limitation) any recession or budget cut. Either party that wishes to cancel the Agreement pursuant to this section must provide written notice to the other party identifying the event or circumstance that is the basis for such cancellation within ten (10) days after learning about such event or circumstance. This provision shall not, however, relieve either party from using its reasonable commercial efforts to avoid, remove or mitigate such force majeure event and to continue performance with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed. If the Agreement is duly cancelled under this Section, then Hotel shall, within thirty (30) days after such cancellation, refund any deposits made by Group.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Security. Hotel may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require additional security procedures, at Group’s sole expense, because of the size or nature of the Group’s use of the Hotel. These procedures may include the assignment by Hotel of additional security personnel employed by Hotel or Hotel’s independent contractor (which may be the local police department). Hotel may allow Group to retain an outside security service provider that is approved in writing by Hotel prior to the Room Block Dates or the applicable Function. If Group hires an outside security service provider, Group must provide Hotel with a copy of its agreement with the service provider, which shall clearly provide that such service provider also indemnifies Hotel, its owner, its management company and their respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and all of their respective owners, members, partners, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents, from and against any liabilities related to the security services. Under no circumstances shall any armed security personnel be permitted onto the premises of Hotel without Hotel’s advanced written approval, which Hotel may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.

Notices. All notices, offers, acceptances, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient if hand delivered (against receipt) or sent by a commercially recognized express delivery service (e.g. FedEx or UPS), or certified or registered U.S. Mail, postage prepaid, to the Group Contact, at the address for the Group Contact, both identified on the first page of this Agreement; or, if to Hotel, to the street address of the Hotel premises to the attention of its General Manager, with a required copy to Aimbridge Hospitality, 5301 Headquarters

1-517-482-0188

Drive, Plano, Texas, 75024 Attn: General Counsel. Hotel may change Hotel’s designated contact at any time upon notice. Hotel will not be bound by any notice unless delivered to Hotel in the manner specified herein.

Damage to Hotel Premises. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Group assumes full responsibility for any damage done to the Hotel to the extent that such damage is caused by Group, its employees, guests, agents, or contractors (other than Hotel and its subcontractors), including any damage resulting from the installation, placement, and removal of Group’s displays, equipment, exhibits, or other items.

Disturbances. Group agrees that its use of assigned Function spaces will not create any unreasonable disturbance to other guests or meetings, such as excessive noise, smoke, fog, offensive smells, picketing, or any other form of protest. Neither Group nor its contractors will use such features without advance approval of Hotel.

Additional Remedies. If this Agreement is one of a group of (any two or more) agreements between Hotel and Group and/or any of Group’s affiliates for Hotel to host events, then Hotel reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and/or other agreement(s), without liability to Hotel, if (a) Group (or, if applicable, its affiliate) fails to timely pay any amounts due and owning under, or commits any other material breach of its obligations under, this Agreement or any of the other agreements; or (b) Group, its affiliate or any of their respective employees, agents, guests or contractors causes damage or disruption to the Hotel’s premises, operations, guests or reputation. Notice of any such termination by the Hotel shall be made to Group in writing. If Hotel cancels the Agreement pursuant to this section, Group shall be responsible for the applicable Cancellation Fee as if Group cancelled the Agreement. If, pursuant to this section, Hotel cancels any other event(s) it had booked for Group or one or more affiliates of Group, then Group shall be responsible for any applicable cancellation fee(s) provided for under the applicable agreement(s).

Group’s Property. Group agrees Hotel will not be responsible for the safe-keeping of equipment, supplies, written material or other valuable items left in meeting rooms, sleeping rooms or anywhere on Hotel’s premises. Group is responsible for securing any such aforementioned items and hereby assumes responsibility for loss thereof. Group may not rely on any verbal or written assurances provided by Hotel staff, other than as provided in this Agreement.

Property of Group is the sole responsibility of Group and/or its owner.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties covering the Room Block and Function(s) and supersedes any previous agreements, communications, representations or agreements, whether written or oral. Any modifications, additions or corrective lining out made on this Agreement will not be binding unless such modifications have been signed or initialed by both parties. Any amendments to this Agreement must be made in writing and signed by authorized representative of each party. For the avoidance of doubt, this section shall not prevent Group from ordering particular or additional services from Hotel through a banquet event order or other document signed by an Authorized Representative.

No Assignment. Neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights (other than rights to receive payments) or obligations hereunder without the written consent of other party, unless the assignment is to an affiliate of the assigning party pursuant to an internal reorganization or acquisition of the assigning party, or the assignment is made to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assigning party’s assets. In the case of a Group assignment under this paragraph, Group shall provide notice to the Hotel and Group shall remain liable unless and until Hotel releases the Group. Any attempted assignment or transfer by Group without such consent may, at the option of Hotel, be deemed to be a Cancellation, in which case Group shall be liable for a Cancellation Fee set forth herein.

Miscellaneous. Each person signing this Agreement warrants that he or she is authorized to bind the party for which he or she is signing. Any provision of this Agreement that is deemed unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating or rendering the remainder of this Agreement invalid. Each party shall execute such other and further documents as may be necessary to carry out the intention as well as to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The failure of either party to insist, at any time, on strict performance of any terms or conditions of this Agreement, or to exercise any option, right or remedy contained in this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or as a relinquishment for the future of such term, condition, option, right or remedy. No waiver by either party of any term or condition hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by such party.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in the Agreement and herein and the above recitals, which are incorporated herein by this reference, the parties agree as follows:

1. Incorporation and Priority of Terms. The Agreement is amended as stated herein and this 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. Termination. In addition to any other remedies the party may have under law or equity, a party may terminate this Agreement for cause upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period. University may terminate this Agreement for its convenience upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Supplier. Upon termination of this Agreement, (a) Supplier shall promptly discontinue all work, unless the termination notice directs otherwise;

(b) University shall promptly pay Supplier for all fees incurred up to and including the effective date of termination or Supplier shall refund to University a prorated share of any prepaid fees; (c) Supplier shall transfer custody of and title to all completed or partially completed Deliverables to University; (d) Supplier shall promptly return to University any property provided by University to Supplier under this Agreement;

and (e) Supplier shall promptly return to University all information and data accumulated by Supplier in performing this Agreement in a mutually acceptable format and manner.

4. Governing Law and Forum. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska without giving effect to its conflicts of law provisions. Any legal actions brought by either party hereunder shall be in the state courts located in Lancaster County, Nebraska. 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).

5. Liability. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless University, its regents, officers, employees, agents, and students for any loss, claim, damage, expense, or liability of any kind arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions of Supplier and its officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors under the Agreement.

6. 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.

7. Taxes and Fees. 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, Supplier shall be solely responsible for the payment of those taxes. If a tariff is imposed on any Deliverables provided under this Agreement, each party shall pay an equal share of the costs of such tariff. As this Group is meeting outside of Nebraska and in the State of Michigan, the Hotel will require and is requesting a Tax Exempt Certificate to be returned with this agreement. The University is

1-517-482-0188

State Tax Exempt and with a valid Tax Exempt certificate on file with the hotel the 6% State Tax is waived. Group is still responsible for 7% Occupancy Taxes on overnight guest rooms

8. Debarment List. Supplier certifies and warrants that it has not been debarred, suspended, or declared ineligible as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation 48 CFR Ch.1 Subpart 9.4. Supplier also certifies that Supplier, its partners, directors, officers, employees, licensees, subcontractors, or agents have not been excluded or debarred or otherwise become ineligible to participate in federal health care programs pursuant to 42 USC § 1320a-7. The certification and warranty set forth in this section shall be an ongoing certification and warranty during the term of the Agreement, and Supplier shall immediately notify University of any change in the status of the certification and warranty set forth in this section. If Supplier becomes excluded from federal health care program participation or placed on the Consolidated List of Debarred, Suspended, and Ineligible Contractors, the Agreement may be terminated immediately, for cause, by 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. Failure by Supplier to remove such excluded individual immediately shall provide University the right to terminate the Agreement immediately for cause.

9. 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. 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 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.

10. 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.
