15. Conflict of Interest.

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.

18. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under the 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 Addendum.

19. Unavailability of Funding. Due to possible future reductions in state and/or federal funds, University cannot guarantee the continued availability of funding of the Agreement notwithstanding the consideration contained within the Agreement. In the event funds to finance the 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 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.

21. Foreign Adversary Certification. The terms in this section defined in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 73-903 shall have the meaning defined therein. If the Agreement is for a technology-related product or service and no exception set forth in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 73-906(2) applies, Supplier certifies that it is not a scrutinized company, it will not subcontract with any scrutinized company for any aspect of performance of the Agreement, and any products or services provided under the Agreement do not originate with a scrutinized company. The certification set forth in this section shall be an ongoing certification during the term of the Agreement and Supplier shall immediately notify University of any change in the status of the certification set forth in this section.
