Addendum to Standard Representation Agreement for ALL NFL Players

In conjunction with the attached National Football League Players Association (“NFLPA”)
Standard Representation Agreement (“SRA”), the undersigned Contract Advisor
__________________________and _________________________ hereinafter “Player” agree as follows
with regards to Contract Advisor representing Player in his NFL career.

This addendum is a mandatory requirement that must be signed by all agents with all players
in the NFL – Veteran, Rookies and free agents. If a SRA is submitted to the NFLPA without this
addendum, it shall be considered null and void.
It expressly agreed between the parties that the Contract Advisor has not and may not provide
any Player, or any person or entity related to or associated with such Player, with any of the following
inducements at any point during the recruitment and/or representation of the Player:

1. A bonus of any amount for signing with the Contract Advisor, whether it be in the form of cash
or other direct or indirect compensation or gifts (except as otherwise noted below).
2. Any advance or guarantee of any amount of future marketing, endorsement or NFL contract
income to be earned by the Player or co-signing for or arranging for any such advance from a
third party.
3. A loan or series of loans in the aggregate of more than a total of $50,000 to a Rookie Player.
Any loan(s) to a Rookie Player must be repaid by the Player within nine months of such loan(s).
Any such loan cannot be forgivable or contain language that makes the loan forgivable under
any circumstances or conditions (i.e. a marketing guarantee or reduction in fees). A Contract
Advisor may only provide a loan to a Rookie Player with an existing Standard Representation
Agreement, not a prospective client. Under no circumstances can a loan, marketing guarantee
or any consideration be provided to any non-Rookie Player as an inducement to get such player
to sign an SRAi.
4. A rebate, refund, waiver or reduction of the agreed-upon fees for contract or marketing
services.
5. A rebate, refund, waiver, reduction or pay off of any existing or future indebtedness.
6. Gifts, travel and entertainment expenses (or promises of future gifts or expenses) that exceed
$5,000 in aggregate in any calendar year following Player’s draft year. This includes gifts for
birthdays, weddings, training camp, on-field accomplishments, holidays, donations to Player’s
charities or camps etc. or any similar benefit the Player or family members.
7. Any payment for off-season training or medical expenses, other than for a Rookie Player during
the pre-draft period as provided for in #9 below.
8. Under certain circumstances, an agent may, but is not required to, provide additional living
expenses to a Rookie Player for the pre-draft period. If such additional living expenses are
provided, then under no circumstances can such additional living expenses exceed $2,500 per
month for a maximum of 6 months. No such additional living expenses can be made after the
pre-draft period or to any non-Rookie player for any reason at any time.
9. Agent may pay expenses for a Rookie Player for pre-draft Training during the pre-draft period
that cannot exceed $35,000 in the aggregate.ii Stipends, additional living expenses, training
expenses or allowances for living expenses may not be provided to a non-Rookie. These
expenses include the following:
A. Pre-draft training facility charges up and thru the NFL Draft;
B. Travel to pre-draft training facility and back from pre-draft training facility;
C. Reasonable rental car to be used at pre-draft training facility up and thru the NFL Draft;

F. Insurance or coverage of any type (including but not limited to medical, auto, disability, loss
of value, life, health, auto, property). Any such insurance will be included in the maximum
training expense calculation.
10. Agent is precluded specifically under the terms of this agreement from collecting or recouping
from a Player for any reason more than the maximum dollar limits set forth in this addendum
from any tribunal including, but not limited to the NFLPA arbitration process. It is understood
that Player shall not be responsible to repay to agent the advanced training costs (#9A-E above)
so long as Player does not terminate SRA with agent and pays all agent fees, loans and costs to
agent for the duration of his first four (4) years of his NFL career. However, in the event Player
terminates the Representation Agreement at any point in his career prior to paying all the fees,
costs and loans as set forth herein, then Player agrees to repay all the advanced costs,
expenses, training expenses and loans prior to entering into a new representation agreement
with any other party plus interest at 5% and, specifically, warrants that he can’t enter into a
new SRA prior to the complete repayment of these costs. This repayment of loans, expenses
and costs will be enforceable even if player does not sign a promissory note for each loan, cost
or expense and this document will serve as such promissory note for loans, costs and expenses
made to and on behalf of the player. The acceptance and receipt of the monies by the Player
will constitute acceptance of the terms of this agreement.
 11. If legal action is commenced to enforce any provision of this contract the prevailing party shall
be entitled to reasonable attorney fees, costs, interest and the costs of enforcing any judgment
obtained. The parties agree that __________ law will apply to this agreement and that all
parties consent to the jurisdiction of the ___________ Courts to enforce any judgment herein.
