TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Agreement (the "Agreement") is by and between Weber State University (hereinafter "Sponsor") and AAE Holdings Inc. d/b/a All American Entertainment
(hereinafter "Agency"). Sponsor and Agency may be referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as "Parties".

1. Background & Definitions. Sponsor desires Agency to work on its behalf to retain and engage the individual(s) identified on the face of this Agreement (hereinafter
"Talent") to appear at the Event identified therein. Sponsor acknowledges that Agency is acting as a booking agent and there is no general principal/agent
relationship that exists between Agency and Talent. Talent is an independent contractor, and not an employee of Agency, and shall have the sole and exclusive
control over the means and methods of performing at the Event. No joint venture, partnership, agency, or employment relationship is created by this Agreement, and
nothing in this Agreement is intended to convey any rights or benefits upon any third party. Agency shall only have the authority to bind Talent in accordance with the
terms set forth in this Agreement.

2. Agency's Services. Agency shall use reasonable efforts and diligence to work with Talent to coordinate and facilitate Talent's appearance at the time and location
of the Event. Sponsor expressly acknowledges that Agency shall have no liability or responsibility for any acts, errors, omissions or commissions of Talent or Talent's
agents, representatives, traveling companions or any other third party. Agency is not responsible in any way for any statement or opinion expressed by Talent.

3. Term. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and shall continue until the completion of all services. This Agreement shall remain in effect until
it is terminated as set forth below, or until both Parties have fully performed their respective obligations hereunder.

4. Breaches and Termination.

a. Sponsor acknowledges that Talent has reserved the specific day and time set forth on the face of this Agreement and, in doing so, Sponsor understands that
Talent has forgone or may forgo other significant income producing opportunities as a result of this Agreement.

b. If Sponsor cancels this Agreement for any reason other than Force Majeure 100% of the Honorarium shall be due and payable immediately. Sponsor shall also pay
or reimburse Agency for any non-refundable Event-related expenses incurred by Agency or Talent prior to cancellation.

c. This Agreement may be terminated by Agency without liability upon written notice to Sponsor if Sponsor defaults on any of its obligations hereunder and fails to
cure such default within three (3) business days after receipt of such notice. In the event of Sponsor's uncured default, (i) Agency shall have no obligation to cause
Talent to perform under this Agreement, (ii) the entire Honorarium shall be due and payable immediately to Agency, and (iii) Sponsor will also pay or reimburse
Agency for any non-refundable Event-related expenses incurred by Agency or Talent prior to termination. In addition, if, on or before the date of any scheduled event,
Sponsor has failed, neglected or refused to perform any contract for any engagement through Agency, or if the financial standing or credit of Sponsor has been
impaired or is, in Agency’s sole opinion, unsatisfactory, Agency shall have the right to demand the Honorarium forthwith. If Sponsor fails or refuses to make such
payment forthwith, Agency shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to Sponsor to that effect, and to retain any amounts theretofore paid to Agency
by Sponsor, and Sponsor shall remain liable to Agency for the agreed upon Honorarium herein set forth.

5. Talent's Failure to Perform.

a. In the event of Talent's failure to perform due to illness, unforeseen emergency, transportation problems, overriding obligation or professional responsibility,
Agency shall have no liability whatsoever for expenses or losses incurred by Sponsor. In the event that Talent is unavoidably delayed, but arrives and presents his/her
program as directed by Sponsor, the engagement will be considered to have been completed as agreed, and all fees, honoraria, and other charges shall be due in full
unless otherwise agreed to, in writing, by Agency.

b. If Talent is unable to appear and perform at the Event, Agency will use good faith efforts to provide a replacement that is acceptable to Sponsor. If Agency is
unable to provide a replacement that is acceptable to Sponsor, and if Talent's failure or inability to perform is in no way related to or attributable to any act or
omission of Sponsor, its agents or representatives, then Agency will immediately refund to Sponsor any pre-paid portion of the Honorarium. Except for the
obligations set forth in this paragraph, Agency shall have no liability to Sponsor arising from Talent's failure or inability to perform, regardless of the reason for such
failure. Agency's invitation to provide a replacement or to refund the Honorarium as described in this paragraph, as the case may be, shall be Sponsor's sole and
exclusive legal and/or equitable remedy hereunder.

6. Payment.

a. All amounts due hereunder shall be made to Agency via electronic check, ACH, wire transfer or credit card. If payment is remitted via credit card, Sponsor will be
responsible for a processing fee of approximately 3.5%.

and taxes assessed or levied by any taxing authority or country, including but not limited to excise taxes, value added taxes, sales taxes, admission taxes, user fees,
or other charges, taxes, or fees of any kind. If Sponsor is required to withhold state income tax on behalf of Talent, that amount shall be added to the total
Honorarium, resulting in the total Honorarium paid to Agency the same amount as agreed to on the face of this Agreement.

of this Agreement. Reasonable expenses include (i) roundtrip airfare, (ii) hotel accommodations (at a mutually agreed upon hotel), (iii) roundtrip ground

transportation in origin city. It is understood that all commercial transportation will be purchased only with fully refundable tickets for the agreed number of travelers
at the fare(s) in effect at the time of purchase. If Sponsor is responsible for business class airfare, and available flights do not offer business class, Sponsor will be
required to provide a first class ticket. If Sponsor is responsible for first class airfare and Talent elects to use private aircraft, Sponsor shall be responsible for the
cost of fully refundable first class airfare for the agreed number of travelers. Sponsor shall reimburse Agency for all Other Expenses due hereunder within thirty (30)
days after receipt of Agency's written invoice therefor. Sponsor will arrange and directly pay for hotel and ground transportation in event city, unless otherwise agreed
to. All ground travel must be arranged through a fully insured and commercially licensed car service operator.
