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

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 that parking is separate and distinct from the room rate and from taxes. 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).

Buros Center for Testing will provide a rooming list for a limited number of attendees who will have room charges billed to the Master Account, these individuals will pay on own for incidentals.

AGREED MINIMUM ROOM NIGHT REVENUE: Based on the Total Contracted Rooms and the stated rates, the “Agreed Minimum Room Night Revenue” is $3,336.00.

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 c redit 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 159If 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 apply to all 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.

Agreement. Sertifi allows you to pay by credit card or ACH. You are responsible for ensuring that all payments are correctly made to the Hotel by using the Sertifi platform (or by paying in person at the Hotel).

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 cancellat ion 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: guest rooms only as indicated on rooming list, attrition charges, cancellation 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.

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. 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 co llection 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.

17. California Consumer Protection Act. This section shall apply only if and to the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) is applicable to the Parties with respect to this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement the Parties agree that Hotel, either directly or through its hotel manager, is acting as a “service provider” for Group under the CCPA, and that: (a) each of the Parties will comply with the CCPA; (b) each of the Parties will, upon the request of the other Party, comply with the other Party’s request to enter into any further amendments to this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with CCPA; (c) If Hotel, directly or through its hotel manager as agent for Hotel, receives from Group any personal information (as defined in the CCPA) of any “consumer” (as defined in the CCPA) for processing (as defined in the CCPA) on behalf of Group pursuant to this Agreement, Hotel shall (i) be a “service provider” to Group under the CCPA; (ii) not retain, use or disclose the personal information for any purpose other than for the specific purpose of performing services under this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA, including for any “Group purpose” (as defined in the CCPA); (iii) not retain, use or disclose the personal information for a “commercial purpose” (as defined in the CCPA) other than providing the services under this Agreement; (iv) not “sell” the personal information (as “sell” is defined in the CCPA); and (v) promptly (and, in any case within seven days of receipt) comply with Group’s written instructions associated with responding to an individual’s request to exercise their privacy rights with respect to their personal information.

If Hotel authorizes any unaffiliated subcontractor, service provider, or third party to process personal information of Group, Hotel shall enter into contractual provisions so that such subcontractor, service provider, or third party is a “service provider” as defined in the CCPA and not a “third party” as defined in the CCPA. As described in our privacy policy, as we buy or sell businesses or assets confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of our businesses, customer and site visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy notice.

18. COVID-19 DISCLOSURE. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases exists in any public space where other people are present.
