other equipment that are utilized on a day-to-day basis by the University (“Equipment”) required
for OUTFRONT to fulfill upon the obligations of this Agreement during events related to the
University Athletics Program. In the event that the Equipment is not functional during one or more
events related to the University Athletics Program which occurrence results in a reduction in Gross
Revenue, and such event is not due to the fault or negligence of OUTFRONT, then OUTFRONT
may utilize the provisions of Section 12.0, which shall be OUTFRONT’s sole and exclusive
remedy against UNM for any such failure to keep the Equipment functional as required above
12.0 Material Impairment to Rights: UNM and OUTFRONT agree that the terms and
conditions of this Agreement are based upon (i) the availability of those assets and rights outlined
in Exhibit A, (ii) the ability of both parties to work together to generate maximum value, Gross
Revenue and Net Revenue from those rights, and (iii) the accuracy and assignability of the Long
Term Sponsorship Agreements detailed in Exhibit B. In the event the accuracy of the information

equitable adjustment to the financial terms and conditions to reflect such changes. Examples of
such events shall include the following.
12.2 If the sponsorship agreements detailed in Exhibit B are not contracted and/or
collected.
12.4 If there shall occur any Material Adverse Publicity after the execution of this
agreement. “Material Adverse Publicity” shall mean public attention or scandal in the form of
television, print media, Internet news reports, or other public news reporting that arises from and
relates to activities, conduct, investigations and/or situations affecting or relating to UNM or
UNM’s programs and which public attention or scandal is of such a negative or adverse nature that
7
sponsors or potential sponsors considering sponsoring UNM are prompted to discontinue
sponsorships or the pursuit of new or replacement sponsorships as a result of not wanting to be
associated with the negative image or scandal; provided, however, that such Material Adverse
Publicity must not have been directly caused by any act or omission of OUTFRONT or its
employees or subcontractors. “Material Adverse Publicity” shall also mean public attention or
scandal in the form of television, print media, Internet news reports, or other public news reporting
that arises from and relates to activities, conduct, investigations and/or situations affecting or
relating to OUTFRONT, or OUTFRONT’s parents, subsidiaries or affiliates and which public
attention or scandal is of such a negative or adverse nature that UNM’s reputation is damaged by
its association with OUTFRONT; provided, however, that such Material Adverse Publicity must
not have been directly caused by any act or omission of UNM or its employees.
12.6 If there is a change in the schedule of Athletics Events which materially and
adversely alters the marketable inventory described in this Agreement.
12.7 If a negative Net Revenue position occurs for two (2) consecutive Agreement
years pursuant to 8.0.
Both parties further recognize that the aforementioned factors do not constitute an event of
default by either party under this Agreement, but could result in a need for remedial changes in the
Agreement including but not limited to a change in the UNM Share of Net Revenue or such other
changes as are reasonably necessary and mutually agreed.
Failure of the parties to reach agreement with respect to these issues after reasonable good
faith efforts will authorize either party to cancel this Agreement; provided, however, such
cancellation shall require no less than six months’ notice and may only result in cancellation on
June 30 of any year of this Agreement. In the event that either party cancels this agreement in
8
accordance with the terms of this Section 12, OUTFRONT shall be entitled to the reimbursement
