waive or reduce monies owed to University and/or Auxiliary by Organizer for any of

may University make a gift to Organizer of monies actually expended by University
arising out of Organizer's request to use University property.
12)Security. The University reserves the right, through its Chief of University Police,
to determine what, if any, security measures are necessary for each event. All costs
related to event security, including but not limited to police officer presence, are
the responsibility of the Organizer.
13)Insurance. Organizer, at Organizer's own expense, may be required to furnish an
endorsement, with a certificate of insurance, amending Organizer's general liability
insurance to name "the State of California, the Trustees of The California State University,
the Auxiliaries of California State University San Marcos, and each of their officers,
agents, employees, and duly authorized volunteers" as additional insureds with respect
to liability arising out of ownership, maintenance, or use of that part of said property
provided for Organizer's use. In general, a combined single limit policy of not less
than $1,000,000 of Commercial General Liability Insurance or other form with a general
aggregate of not less than $2,000,000 is preferred. However, the University may,
at its sole discretion, require increases to the coverage limits, require the purchase
of Special Events Insurance, request proof of minimum State of California worker's
compensation coverage, and/or appropriate and adequate auto insurance, or may otherwise
adjust this requirement within reason based upon the event activities and attendees.
The endorsement shall provide that the insurer will not cancel the insured's coverage
without 15 days prior written notice to the University and/or Auxiliary.
