AGREEMENT

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

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 shall be void.

3. 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 or federal courts located in Lancaster County, Nebraska. It is understood and agreed that any legal action by Supplier in relation to the Agreement may only be instituted in accordance with the provisions of the State Contract Claims Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 81-8,302 to 81-8,306), as amended.

4. 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 performance or nonperformance by Supplier and its officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors.

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.

7. Taxpayer Transparency Act. Pursuant to Nebraska’s Taxpayer Transparency Act (Neb. Rev.

Stat. § 84-602.01), as may be amended), 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 the 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.

8. Equal Opportunity (intentionally bolded). Supplier shall comply with 41 CFR §§ 60-1.4(a), 60- 300.5(a), and 60-741.5(a), which are incorporated by reference with the following statement: “This Contractor and subcontractor shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a). These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities, and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or for inquiring about, discussing, or disclosing compensation. Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.”

9. 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 the Agreement, with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privilege of employment because of the race, color, religion, sex, disability, or national origin of the employee or applicant in accordance with the Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 48-1122, as amended.

10. Logos or University Marks. The Supplier shall not use or display any University campus name, logo, trademark, service mark (individually a “Mark” and collectively the “Marks”) and/or other indicia designated by University as a source identifier, unless expressly authorized in writing by University. Any unauthorized use of University Marks is expressly prohibited. Supplier agrees it will not use University’s name in any manner that acts as an endorsement or is an appearance of any endorsement in any promotion, advertisement, solicitation, or other communication, especially as it relates to Supplier’s business.

11. Right to Audit Privilege. University reserves the right to audit or inspect work performed by the Supplier under the Agreement. University may participate directly or through an appointed representative in order to verify that the services related to the Agreement have been performed in accordance with the procedures indicated.

12. Purchase Order Requirement. A purchase order shall be issued by University to Supplier for payment in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. All invoice(s) submitted by Supplier shall make reference to the appropriate purchase order number to be eligible for payment.

13. Conflict of Interest. No article or service shall be purchased from any University faculty or staff member without prior approval by the Vice Chancellor of Business and Finance and any such approved purchase shall comply fully with the requirements of the conflict of interest provisions of the Nebraska Political Accountability and Disclosure Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 49-1493 through 49-14,104. Supplier certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that there are no potential organizational conflicts of interest related to the 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 the Agreement. In the event the potential conflict of interest cannot be resolved, University may declare the Agreement void and of no further force or effect and University shall have no further obligations under the Agreement.

14. Compliance. Supplier and its employees and agents will comply with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, and licensing requirements that are applicable to the conduct of its business, including those of federal, state, and local agencies having jurisdiction and/or authority, as well as applicable University policies.

15. Insurance. The 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 one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, and three million dollars ($3,000,000) general aggregate to cover such liability caused by, or arising out of, activities of the 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 ten million dollars ($10,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate to cover such liability resulting or arising from acts, errors, or omissions in rendering such technology services, software, or support. Upon request by University, the 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 this Agreement. Supplier shall assess its own risks and, if it deems appropriate, maintain higher limits or broader coverages. Supplier further agrees, upon request, to 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.

16. Notice. Any notice to either party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served either personally, by email (to the extent an email address is set forth below), or by registered or certified mail.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE

From time to time, Internet 2 OBO University of Nebraska - Lincoln (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures.

Getting paper copies

At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.

Withdrawing your consent

If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.

Consequences of changing your mind

If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given

us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system.
