Professor Noe's death would result in the automatic termination of the contract, and her estate would no longer have any obligations under it. This is because the contract was personal in nature and required the specific skills and abilities of Professor Noe. Her death made it impossible for her to fulfill her obligations under the contract, and as a result, the contract was discharged. The estate would not be required to find a replacement or be responsible for any additional costs incurred by the University in finding a replacement.
