If Coach’s Monthly Compensation, from New Employment is less than University’s monthly obligation to pay liquidated damages under Section 6.2.b, the amount of University’s obligation to pay liquidated damages shall be reduced on a monthly basis by the greater of: a) the amount of Coach’s Monthly Compensation from such New Employment or, in the event University reasonably determines that the amount of such Monthly Compensation is not within an acceptable range of compensation amounts pursuant to the anticipated results of an arms-length negotiation between Coach and a new employer when then-existing and relevant marketplace factors are applied, or b) the median Monthly Compensation, as determined from publically available sources, of incumbents in equivalent coaching or athletic administrative positions in, as relevant, the NCAA Division, collegiate athletics’ conference, or professional sports league in which Coach has obtained Comparable Employment or any other employment. In no event, will the University’s then-current obligation to pay Coach liquidated damages increase if Coach resigns from New Employment or is otherwise terminated from New Employment. In the event Coach is separated from New Employment and the University still has obligations under Section 6.2, Coach continues to have the mitigation obligations set forth above. Coach shall promptly inform University of changes in her employment status (including monthly salary and type and value of fringe benefits that are included in the calculation of Coach’s compensation) for purposes of the implementation of this Section 6.2.e. Coach agrees to provide University with a copy of any employment agreement relevant to Coach’s obligations stated above, as well as other information necessary to establish compliance with this mitigation obligation including, upon request, information relating to income Coach has received in a manner that did not generate a form W-2 or 1099. Should Coach fail to produce evidence of engaging in good faith efforts to obtain employment within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty days) following University’s request for such documentation or should such documents indicate that Coach is not fulfilling Coach’s mitigation obligations outlined in this section, University’s obligations to pay liquidated damages under Section 6.2.b shall cease.
