alerting the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act.

connection with, any Company Contract, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default thereunder. To the knowledge of the Company, no other party to any Company Contract is in material
default in respect thereof, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

 EXHIBIT F 
 Form of Securities Escrow Agreement Amendment 







 FORM OF AMENDMENT TO SECURITIES ESCROW AGREEMENT 
 This Amendment (this “Amendment”), dated as of
                    , 2010, to the Securities Escrow Agreement (as defined below) is made by and among Sports Properties Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) and the undersigned parties listed under Initial Stockholders on the signature pages hereto (the
“Initial Stockholders”). All terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Securities Escrow Agreement (as defined below). 
 WHEREAS, the Company, the Trustee and the Initial Stockholders entered into a Securities Escrow Agreement dated as of
January 17, 2008 (the “Securities Escrow Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend
the Securities Escrow Agreement upon the terms and conditions herein provided. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

 

	1.	Section 3 of the Securities Escrow Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

 “3. Disbursement of the Escrow Securities. 
 3.1. Escrow Securities. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Securities until the date that is one year from the
date of consummation of (A) an acquisition by the Company, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock purchase, exchangeable share transaction, joint venture or other similar business combination with one or more domestic or
international operating businesses or (B) consummation of substantially all of the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2009, by and among the Company and Medallion Financial Corp. (a “Business
Combination”) by the Company (the “Escrow Period”), on which date it shall, upon written instructions from the Company’s General Counsel or Chief Executive Officer, disburse each of the Initial Stockholder’s
Escrow Securities to such Initial Stockholder. 
 3.2. Cancellation of Shares In Connection with Business
Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, the Escrow Agent receives notification from the Company to cancel certain of the Escrow Shares, the Escrow Agent shall promptly
destroy the certificates representing such Escrow Shares as directed. In the event the number of Escrow Shares represented by any such certificate shall be greater than the number of such Escrow Shares to be canceled, the Company, the Escrow Agent
and the relevant Initial Stockholder whose Escrow Shares are represented by such certificate shall cooperate with each other to

  

 F-1 








 
cause such certificate to be delivered to the Company’s transfer agent, to cause such transfer agent to destroy such certificate and issue new certificate representing the number of Escrow
Shares that have not been cancelled and to cause such new certificate to be returned to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement. 
 3.3. Destruction of Escrow Securities Upon Liquidation; Distribution Upon Subsequent Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to
Section 6.7 hereof that the Company is being liquidated at any time during the Escrow Period, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly destroy the certificates representing the Escrow Securities. In addition, if after the Company consummates a
Business Combination, it (or the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders of such entity having the right to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of a certificate executed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent,
certifying that such transaction is being consummated, release the Escrow Securities to the Initial Stockholders so that they can similarly participate. 
 3.4. No Other Disbursement Duties. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the disbursement or destruction of the Escrow Securities in accordance with this
Section 3.” 
  

	2.	All other provisions of the Securities Escrow Agreement shall continue in full force and effect from the date hereof until terminated in accordance with the terms of
the Securities Escrow Agreement. 

  

	3.	This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument, with
the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. A facsimile signature shall be deemed to be an original signature for purposes of this Amendment. 

  

	4.	This Amendment shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law
principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.
