WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain other commercial arrangements as set forth in this Agreement to be operative during the Term (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the agreements, representations and warranties, covenants and obligations hereinafter contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
1.
Grant of Rights

(a) Subject to Section 12, below, and in consideration for the payment of each Season’s Sponsorship Fee by Sponsor, the Yankees hereby grants to Sponsor the right and license to display each Advertisement upon the respective Signage Space in the manner provided in this Agreement during the 2008 Major League Baseball (“MLB”) Season. As used herein, “Season” means the period of time commencing the day the New York Yankees Baseball Club (“Club”) plays its first Game and ending the day after the Club plays its last Game during the Term, but specifically excludes any Jewel Events. As used herein, “Game(s)” means the MLB regular season home game(s) played by the Club in the Stadium. As used herein, “Jewel Events” means any event that MLB may designate as a “Jewel Event” including, but not limited to, the All Star Game and postseason (i.e., Division Series, League Championship Series and World Series). As used herein, “Advertisement” means any visual display advertisement, including replacement(s) thereof, exhibited on the Signage Space by Sponsor. As used herein, “Signage Space” means the visual display advertising space specified in Exhibit A, annexed hereto. Except as otherwise agreed to, all Advertisements and electronic materials will be produced, supplied and installed by Sponsor at its sole cost and expense.
 

 
(b) The Yankees reserve the right to require that each Advertisement (i) be displayed at and during any Event, even if such Event will be the subject of a broadcast (live or replay) by means of any media now known or hereafter developed; and (ii) not be displayed at and during any Event if such Advertisement is prohibited by governmental rules or regulations or by the organizers of the Event. If the Yankees determines, in its sole discretion, that the circumstances of the Event would require the entire or partial covering, removing, obscuring or hiding of the Advertisement, the Yankees may use all reasonable means for accomplishing this in a manner that would not cause any physical damage to the Advertisement. As used herein, “Event” means any event or multiple events that may occur or be held in or at the Stadium including, without limitation, religious events, sporting events (amateur or professional, including the Games), banquets, picnics, weddings, concerts, movies, television programs and/or commercials as well as the occurrence of such events including, without limitation, the creation, filming, taping, development, exhibition, broadcast, telecast, transmission or distribution of such events by any means and media now known or hereafter developed. In addition, and except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Yankees will solely determine the appropriate locations for all Advertisements in the Stadium.

(c) Subject to the prior written approval with respect to each such use and any other restrictions contained in this Agreement, Sponsor is granted the limited, non-exclusive license during the Term to use the Marks (as defined below) throughout the Yankees’ Home Television Territory, as defined by MLB from time to time, in print advertisements, radio and television to advertise, promote and market Sponsor’s relationship with the Yankees. Sponsor acknowledges that by virtue of this Agreement it obtains no ownership right to any copyright, trademark, trade name or similar intangible owned by or acquired by the Yankees during the Term and it will make no use whatsoever (including in publicity for itself) of any of them without the Yankees’ prior, written consent. Sponsor further acknowledges that such trademarks include, but are not limited to, the name “New York Yankees,” the name “Yankee Stadium,” “Yankees” (script), Yankees’ Top Hat and interlocking “NY” logos, and any and all variations of the foregoing, together with any other marks owned by the Yankees, whether or not registered (the “Marks”). Sponsor may not utilize the Marks in conjunction with any other text or intellectual property or content (collectively, “Content”) in a manner that may cause confusion in the marketplace and/or create an entirely new mark that is not protected by the Yankees current intellectual property rights. In addition, Sponsor will make no use whatsoever (including publicity for itself) of the names or likeness of any of the Yankees’ staff or players, including minor league staff or players, without the prior written consent of the Yankees and the particular staff member or player (as the case may be). Moreover, any photographs, copyrighted materials or other intellectual property provided to Sponsor by the Yankees or its agents or representatives in connection with any Advertising and Sponsorship Benefits, as set forth in Exhibit B, may only be used for commemorative and non-commercial purposes, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. Sponsor may not use such Content or the Marks as an endorsement and/or certification by the Yankees of Sponsor or any of its goods and services without the Yankees prior written consent. Marks shall not be used in combination or co-joined or co-branded with any other names, marks, words, symbols, letters or designs not previously approved in writing by the Yankees, which approval may be withheld or granted in the sole and absolute discretion of the Yankees. Sponsor shall promptly notify the Yankees upon becoming aware of any third party infringing any of the Marks.

11.
Indemnification

(a) Each party (“Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, including such party's partners, parent and affiliated and subsidiary companies, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against, and to reimburse such Indemnitee with respect to, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and professionals’ fees and disbursements) arising out of or in connection with any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, any covenant herein contained, any representation made in it (including, without limitation, any claims by a third party that the exercise of the rights of a party to this Agreement in accordance with its conditions and limitations infringes that third party’s rights) or any personal injuries or property damage caused by the negligence or intentional acts of the Indemnitor or by its employees, representatives or agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sponsor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Yankees, including the Yankees’ partners, parent and affiliated and subsidiary companies, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each a “Yankees Indemnitee”) from and against, and to reimburse such Yankees Indemnitee with respect to, any and all third party claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and professional fees and disbursements) arising out of or in connection with any (i) unauthorized use of the Marks, (ii) alleged or actual false advertising, fraud, misrepresentation, libel, slander, illegal competition or trade practice, infringement of trademarks, trade names or titles, violations of rights of privacy or publicity, or infringement of copyrights or other proprietary and intellectual property rights resulting from or arising out of or in connection with any Advertisement or brochure, and (iii) any personal injury or property damage sustained by third parties caused or occasioned by the negligence or intentional acts of Sponsor’s guests or invitees or any user of any Loge Hall of Fame Suite Tickets or Game tickets provided to Sponsor pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that damage to the Stadium results or arises out of the acts or omissions of Sponsor, its agents, representatives, or invitees hereunder, the Sponsor’s indemnification obligations under this Section 11 shall include, but not be limited to, any indirect, consequential, or special damages (including lost profits or lost opportunities) incurred by the Yankees or any Yankees Indemnitee.
 
9

 
(b) The Indemnitee must give the Indemnitor notice of any matter which the Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification, within thirty (30) days of such determination, stating the amount of the loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises (the “Indemnification Notice”); provided, however, the failure to provide the Indemnification Notice will not release the Indemnitor from any of its obligations under this Section except to the extent the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure and will not relieve the Indemnitor from any other obligation or liability that it may otherwise have to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee must allow the Indemnitor the option to participate in and, at the Indemnitor’s option, fully control any compromise, settlement, litigation or other resolution of the claim or litigation, but the Indemnitor must not make any agreement that prospectively compromises or limits the Indemnitee’s substantive rights without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnitee must cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense and make available to the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnitee’s possession or under the Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required and requested by the Indemnitor. In no case will any compromise or limitation implicate rights, obligations or property beyond the subject matter of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Indemnitor fails or refuses to assume the defense of any claims, action or cause of action to which its indemnity applies (whether or not suit has formally been brought), the Indemnitor will be responsible for payment of any settlement of such claim, action or cause of action reached by the Indemnitee, as well as the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and professionals’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such claim, action or cause of action and/or in reaching such settlement.

(c)  This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedy either party may have for breach of this Agreement, and will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
 
10

 
(d) If either party brings an action against the other to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party may recover its reasonable attorneys’ and/or professionals’ fees in addition to any other remedy it may have.

(e) Each party warrants and represents that it has, or will secure, prior to the Installation and will maintain during and for at least three years following the Term of this Agreement:

(i) worker’s compensation coverage (including employment liability insurance) covering all persons employed by it in connection with the Advertisement and Installation which is sufficient under the laws of the State of New York; and

(ii) commercial general liability insurance (including advertising injury coverage) having a limit of at least $1,000,000.00 for bodily injury and property damage combined per occurrence for any one person and a limit of at least $3,000,000.00 for injuries in the aggregate for all claims of bodily injury and property damage combined.

(f) All such insurance must be issued by reputable insurers rated A or better by A.M. Best and Co., contain commercially reasonable deductibles and the commercial general liability insurance must cover the other party as an additional insured. Either party must provide the other with evidence of such insurance upon the request of the other party throughout the Term. The liability insurance coverage will be considered primary and noncontributory with respect to any similar insurance carried by the additional insureds.

12.
MLB Subservience

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(a) This Agreement and the rights, exclusivities and protections granted by the Yankees to Sponsor hereunder will be subject to the prior written approval of MLB and will in all respects be subordinate to, and will not prevent the issuance, entering into, or amendment of, any of the following, each as may be issued, entered into or amended from time to time (collectively, the “MLB Documents”): (i) any present or future agreements or arrangements regarding the telecast, broadcast, recording (audio or visual), or other transmission or retransmission (including, but not limited to, transmission via the Internet or any other medium of interactive communication, now known or hereafter developed) of MLB games, and/or the accounts and descriptions thereof, entered into with third parties by any of MLB, MLB Enterprises, Inc., MLB Properties, Inc., and/or any of their respective present or future affiliates, assigns or successors (collectively, the “MLB Entities”), either on its own behalf or on behalf of the MLB Clubs and/or other MLB Entities; (ii) any other present or future agreements or arrangements entered into with third parties by, or on behalf of, any of the MLB Entities, including, without limitation, those relating to ticketing, e-commerce, and/or the exploitation of intellectual property rights in any medium, including the Internet or any other medium of interactive communication; (iii) any present or future agreements or arrangements entered into by the Yankees with the other MLB Clubs and/or one or more of the MLB Entities (including, without limitation, the Major League Constitution and each agency agreement and operating guidelines among the MLB Clubs and an MLB Entity); and (iv) the applicable rules, regulations, policies, bulletins or directives issued or adopted either by MLB or otherwise pursuant to the Major League Constitution or any such agency agreement. The Yankees and Sponsor will each comply with all applicable terms, conditions and requirements contained in the MLB Documents with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
 
11

 
(b) No rights granted by the Yankees herein relate to the advertising or promotion of any on-line system, computer network or Interactive Media-related services or other on-line specific goods, services or brands. For purposes of this Agreement, “Interactive Media” means (i) the Internet or any other on-line system or computer network; (ii) any interactive wireless service, including any interactive microwave or cellular service; (iii) any interactive satellite service; (iv) any interactive broadcast television, broadcast radio or cable television service; and (v) any other medium of interactive communication now known or hereafter devised. Furthermore, no rights, exclusivities or obligations involving the Internet or any on-line media (as defined by MLB Entities) are conferred by this Agreement and it is expressly understood and agreed that Sponsor will have no rights to any sponsorship benefits with respect to any Interactive Media and any Yankees’ Internet web-site, including, without limitation, www.yankees.com, or any MLB Internet web-site or any web-site of any affiliate of the Yankees or MLB or any future Internet site affiliated with or designated by the Yankees or MLB. It is further understood and agreed that the Agreement does not grant Sponsor the right or license to utilize the Marks in connection with any Interactive Media, including, without limitation, Sponsor’s Internet site or any current or future Internet site affiliated or not affiliated with Sponsor.

(c) The Sponsor acknowledges that MLB Advanced Media (“MLBAM”) controls the Yankees’ Internet site, including the ability to sell sponsorships and/or advertisements (e.g., banner advertisements, pop-up advertisements, etc.) thereon as well as the ability to authorize the use of the Marks in connection with any Interactive Media (the “Internet Sponsorship Package(s)”). As such, MLBAM may sell an Internet Sponsorship Package to Sponsor’s competitor(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor may be provided with a limited “last look” opportunity to buy out the Internet Sponsorship Package, but only in certain (not all) product categories (as may be defined by MLBAM, from time to time) (the “MLBAM Product Categories”). In connection with this limited right, MLBAM will notify the Yankees whenever a proposed Internet Sponsorship Package is offered to a prospective MLBAM sponsor and, if the Internet Sponsorship Package is within the MLBAM Product Categories, permit the Sponsor the option to match and/or buy out the Internet Sponsorship Package (“Internet Matching Option”), which if exercised and paid for by Sponsor, would entitle Sponsor to the relevant Internet Sponsorship Package (which may or may not include any exclusivity and/or right of last refusal). In the event the Sponsor does not timely exercise the Internet Matching Option or does not match/buy out the Internet Sponsorship Package, then MLBAM would be free to sell the Internet Sponsorship Package to the prospective MLBAM sponsor. The Sponsor does not have the Internet Matching Option for Internet Sponsorship Packages offered to the prospective MLBAM sponsors in product categories outside the MLBAM Product Categories. Any actions taken by MLBAM in connection with the Yankees’ Internet site including, without limitation, the sale of Internet Sponsorship Packages to competitors of Sponsor will not constitute a default of the Agreement by the Yankees.
 
12

 
(d) The territory of this Agreement, and all rights, licenses and sponsorship benefits granted hereunder, is limited to the Yankees’ Home Television Territory, as established and amended from time to time pursuant to the MLB Documents. This Agreement does not grant Sponsor any rights or sponsorship benefits outside of the Yankees’ Home Television Territory. Any attempt by Sponsor to exercise any rights or sponsorship benefits outside the Yankees’ Home Television Territory constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

(e) The Yankees have the right, at no cost or liability to it or any other club or MLB Entity, to terminate this Agreement at any time the Sponsor breaches its obligations under subsections (a) through (d), above. The right to terminate is exercisable by delivering written notice to the Sponsor within thirty (30) days after the Yankees obtains actual knowledge that such breach has occurred and the effective date of such termination will be no more than thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given, as specified by the Yankees in such notice.

(f) The parties recognize that the Yankees are subject to the MLB Documents.
