Governing Rules by himself, the Head Football Coach, an assistant football

Coach had actual knowledge or, in his capacity as Offensive Coordinator,

should have reasonably known.

3.2. 7. Fraud, dishonesty or willful malfeasance in the performance of any duties

or responsibilities under this Contract.

3.3. Termination by Reason of Tim Beckman Resignation. The parties

acknowledge that Coach was recruited to work at the University by Head

Football Coach Tim Beckman. University and Coach agree that should Tim

Beckman resign or leave his employment with the University for any reason

other than his death or disability or termination by the University, Coach's

employment with the University shall terminate at the end of the Term of this

Contract or sixty ( 60) days after Tim Beckman resigns, or otherwise leaves his

employment with the University, whichever date occurs first. This provision

shall not apply if Tim Beckman resigns in exchange for a negotiated buyout.

provide any other consideration under this Contract or otherwise, except to

the extent already vested (i.e., earned but not yet paid), shall cease as of the

date of termination. In no case shall the University be liable to the Coach for

the loss of any base salary, additional compensation, bonus payments,

incentive payments, deferred compensation, collateral business opportunities

or any other benefits, perquisites, or income resulting from activities such as,

but not limited to, camps, clinics, media appearances, television or radio

show, apparel or shoe contracts, consulting relationships or from any other

sources that may ensue as a result of the University's termination under

Section 3.2 or 3.3 of the Coach's employment under this Contract.

3.4.2. All obligations of Coach under this Contract or otherwise associated with

his employment by the University shall cease as of the effective date of such

termination under Section 3.2 or Section 3.3.

3.5. Termination by Coach

3.5.1. The Coach shall have the right to terminate this Contract for cause in the

event that the University breaches the compensation Section 2 ofthis

Contract and the University fails to cure such breach (if curable) within

thirty (30) days of the University's receipt of written notice from the Coach

detailing such breach.

3.5.2 Breach by Coach. Coach recognizes that his promise to work for the

University for the entire Term is the essence of this Contract to the

University. The Coach also recognizes that the University is making a

highly valuable investment in his continued employment by entering into

this Contract and that its investment would be lost if he resigns or otherwise

terminates his employment with the University prior to the expiration of the

Term. Accordingly, in the event Coach resigns or leaves employment with

the University, Coach shall pay to the University, in lieu of all other

remedies, liquidated damages as follows:

(i) If such resignation or cessation of employment occurs prior to

the completion of the 2013 football season, including any post-season

games, Coach shall pay to the University liquidated damages in the

amount of $40,000 ($80,000 if Coach accepts employment at the

collegiate level with another member of the Big Ten Conference prior to

completion of the 2013 football season) or

(ii) If such resignation or cessation of employment occurs prior to

the completion of the 2014 football season, including any post-season

games, Coach shall pay to the University liquidated damages in the

amount of $20,000 ($40,000 if Coach accepts employment at the

Initiate~ Coach

t..kt< Comptroller

collegiate level with another member of the Big Ten Conference prior to

completion of the 2014 football season).

The liquidated damages payment shall be paid in one lump sum within sixty

(60) days after the Coach's resignation or departure, unless otherwise agreed

by the parties. Upon receipt of the payment, the University shall be deemed

to have released the Coach, his agents, family, heirs and assigns from any

claims or actions related to such resignation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Coach shall have no obligation to pay the liquidated damages required by

this section if he either: 1) resigns or leaves his employment at any time to

become a head football coach at the collegiate level outside of the Big Ten

Conference or a coordinator or head football coach at the professional level,

or 2) leaves after completion of the 2014 football season.

3.5.2. The parties acknowledge that the University will incur administrative,

recruiting and resettlement costs, and the possible loss of other revenues

which damages are difficult to determine with certainty. Accordingly, the

parties agree to the liquidated damages provision of Section 3.5 .2. All other

liabilities of the parties shall cease effective the date of termination,

provided, however, that the Coach shall be entitled to any Base Salary or

Additional Compensation which was earned or accrued prior to Coach

giving notice of resignation or Coach leaving his employment with the

University, as applicable.

3.6. Disability, Death, or Inability. This Contract will terminate automatically upon

the Coach's death or disability (which for purposes of this section shall mean the

Coach is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any

medically determinable physical or mental impairment which continues for at

least six ( 6) consecutive months and can be expected to result in death or can be

expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months). If the

University or the Coach terminates this Contract due to disability or for any other

reason beyond his control (e.g. severe family or personal issues that make it

impossible for the Coach to continue his employment), Coach shall have no

liability whatsoever to the University as a result of such termination. All

(

obligations of the University to make further payments and/or to provide other

consideration, under this Contract or otherwise, except to the extent already

vested (i.e., earned but not yet paid), shall cease immediately in the event such

death or disability occurs.

3. 7. Conflict of Terms. The provisions for termination and notice rights contained in

Section 3 of this Contract supersede the termination and notice requirements

contained in the University Statutes that generally apply to coaches or other

University employees. To the extent there exists a conflict between the terms of

this Contract and the terms of Coach's "Notification of Appointment" issued

pursuant to University Statutes and policy, then the terms of this Contract shall

control.

4. Other Terms and Conditions

4.1. This Contract is subject to applicable policies, terms and conditions of

employment of the University and SURS, as they may be modified from time to

time by the University or SURS.

expiration of this Contract, Coach shall return to the University any University

issued automobile, equipment, cash advance, credit cards, telephone calling

cards, University keys and other items, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by

the University. Coach agrees that the University may deduct the value of any

and all such un-returned items from his final University payroll check or other

payment owed to Coach.

5. Assignment. Coach acknowledges that the Services to be rendered by him hereunder

are unique and personal. Accordingly, neither this Contract nor any right, duty,

interest or claim herein shall be assigned or transferred by Coach, except as expressly

authorized in writing by the University.

6. Outside Activities and Income

6.1. Coach agrees that he will not personally or through any agency actively seek,

negotiate for, or accept other full-time or part-time commitrnent(s), whether in

not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

programs, and endorsement or consultation contracts with athletic shoe, apparel

or equipment manufacturers.

7. Compliance. Coach shall comply with all laws, statutes, regulations, rulings, rules or

enactments that are applicable to the Services described in this Contract. Coach shall

comply with, and this Contract shall be subject to, any and all laws, rules, rulings,

regulations and enactments governing the University including, without limitation,

those of the NCAA and Big Ten Conference.

8. Governing Law and Immunities

Contract will be governed by the laws of Illinois.

8.2. It is expressly agreed and understood between the parties that the University is an

However, the University will in no way use such exemptions, privileges and

immunities to negate any obligation assumed in this Contract.

9. Severabilitv. Whenever possible, each provision of this Contract will be interpreted

in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision

of this Contract is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any

occurrence.
