8. TERM OF AGREEMENT
This agreement is a limited term agreement and shall commence on June 1, of 2019 and expire on

Officer Program for the following school years; 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24.
Provided, however, either party hereto may cancel this Agreement prior to May 31, 2024, for any
reason or no reason at all, upon a minimum of twelve (12) months prior written notice to the non -
terminating party (`Early Termination"). The parties hereto agree that damages, in the event of
an Early Termination by District 156 are difficult if not impossible to calculate and for that
reason, in the event District 156 activates its Early Termination right, it will be obligated to pay to
the City, as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the following sum that the Parties hereto
deem to be a reasonable forecast of loss to the City: 100 % of the Fees due pursuant to
paragraph 7, below, on accelerated basis for the entire fiscal year in which the Early Termination
was activated.

above, or while otherwise under the specific direction and/or control of the assigned District
supervisor(s) or District, while on school property and during school hours, provided that said
claims, demands, costs and expenses have not been directly caused by the negligence or
misconduct of the School Resource Officer(s), the City or the City's other employees. To this
end, District 156 shall have all applicable liability policies amended or additional endorsements
issued in order to extend coverage to the School Resource Officer(s) and the City under all
applicable insurance policies and endorsements as a "Loaned Employee" while acting within the
scope of this Agreement.
The City hereby indemnifies and shall hold District 156 harmless of and from any and all loses,
costs, demands, damages, actions or causes of action, including attorney's fees arising out of,
proximately caused by or incurred by reason of any act or omission by the School Resource
Officer(s) occurring on School Property while either acting outside of the scope of this
Agreement or acting under the specific direction and/or control of a McHenry Police Supervisor.
