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

team, or other representative of the University's athletic interests of which
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

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

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

tJic//
Comptroller

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.
4.2. University Property. Not later than the effective date of termination or
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
the form of an employment contract, sponsorship, business involvement of any

natnre, endorsements, or charity work during the Term without first having

obtained the written permission of the Athletic Director or designee, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
6.2. Coach shall annually report, through the Athletic Director or designee to the
Chancellor and President of the University, all income and benefits in any way
related to athletics, or which arise out of his status as Offensive Coordinator,
received from sources other than the University, including, without limitation,
income from annuities, sports camps, housing benefits, television and radio
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
8.1. All questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of this
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
instrumentality of the State of Illinois and that nothing contained herein shall be
construed to constitute a waiver or relinquishment by the University of its right to
claim such exemptions, privileges and immunities as may be provided by law.
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
applicable law or rules, such invalidity, illegality or enforceability will not affect any
other provision hereof, but this Contract will be reformed, construed and enforced as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

availability of its annual appropriation, but when its annual appropriations are

This appointment is made subject to all applicable laws and to the University of Illinois Statutes, the General Rules Concerning University Organization and
Procedure and other actions of the Board of Trustees. These policies are subject to change from time to time and the most updated version of the policies is
applicable. In the event of error, the Board of Trustees reserves the right to correct such error and issue a corrected Notification of Appointment. It is the
responsibility of all University of Illinois employees to comply with the provisions of the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act of the State of Illinois; time not
spent on official business of the University must be reported by employees as exception time. Exceptions may include sick leave, vacation leave and other
appropriately approved leaves as specified by campus and University policies.
The amount appearing in the "Salary" column is the gross annual (A) or monthly (M) compensation of the appointee for services required during a full
appointment year or monthly period, whether payable in the form of salary, earnings, purchases of annuity contracts, or in any other manner authorized or
required by law. In the case of appointments where service is required for less than a full appointment year or monthly period only a proportionate amount of
the "Salary" will be payable on the basis of the period of payment indicated in proportion to a full appointment year or month. For example, an appointment for
one semester of an academic year is compensated at approximately one-half of the annual "Salary" rate.
If determined that an employee has been excluded from participation in Federal or State Health Care Programs because of having engaged in fraud, abuse or
misconduct as well as any other mandated governmental exclusion listing, the employee is subject to immediate dismissal without notice.
Falsification of information on a job application or credential materials may result in immediate dismissal.
As of August 9, 2011, the Explanation of Service Basis, Standard Period of Service and Periods of Payments can be found at

Athletics Year-Round Service: Service is required on a year-round basis during specified period of payment. Fifteen personal paid leave days are provided on
an annual basis, pro-rated in the event of a partial year's service period, in lieu of any other University vacation benefits. These personal days are nonaccruable and non-compensable at time of separation from the University or in the event of appointment change to a different service basis. Use of personal
paid leave days must be requested in advance by employee request and approved by the supervisor. Other paid leave days are: University/Campus
designated holidays; floating holidays per campus guidelines; and eligibility for paid sick leave per University guidelines.

 An asterisk (*) symbol following the Job number indicates that all or a portion of this appointment is made on the condition that employment and payment is
contingent upon receipt of funds. For appointments made "subject to receipt of funds" (such as those from grants or contracts), the University reserves the
right to terminate the appointment prior to the Period of Payment End Date if the grant(s) or other source of funding for the position has ended. For such
appointments, the University reserves the right to terminate the appointment prior to the Period of Payment End Date if the grant or source of funds for the
position becomes unavailable, and will provide prior notice, if applicable, in accordance with the notice periods set forth in Article IX(11)(b)(2) of the University
of Illinois Statutes. If an asterisk (*) symbol does not appear next to the Job number on this Notification of Appointment, your appointment is not subject to the
receipt of funds and not subject to earlier termination based on the loss of such funding.
Regardless of past source of funds supporting the position(s) above, presence or absence of the * symbol indicating "subject to receipt of funds" indicates
funding status as of the generation date of this Notification of Appointment.
For an academic professional employee who is entitled to notice of nonreappointment and whose position is supported by multiple sources of funds, calculation
of minimum length of notice of nonreappointment will be based on the relevant funds for the portion of the appointment for which a notice of nonreappointment
is issued, or on the predominant source of funds in the case of elimination of the position.
Unless you notify your unit(s) to the contrary within 30 days of the Generation Date of this document, your acceptance of this appointment will be presumed. If
you have questions regarding your appointment, please contact your unit office.
