 Exhibit 10.4 
 SPORTS PROPERTIES ACQUISITION CORP. 
 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement is dated January 17, 2008 and is entered into between Medallion Financial Corp. (“Firm”) and Sports Properties
Acquisition Corp. (“Client”). Firm and Client agree that Firm will provide to Client for and in consideration of the fees set forth herein, an exclusive license to use the offices as provided herein below and, in common with
Firm’s other clients, the non-exclusive license to use Firm’s facilities and services as outlined below. 
 1. BASIC
TERMS. 
 A. Monthly Fixed Fee for Base Services (as defined in Section 2 below): $2,000 
 B. Monthly Fixed Fee for Office Services (as defined in Section 3 below): $5,500 
 C. Facilities: 437 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022 (the “Building”) and the offices contained therein (the
“Offices”). 
 D. Term: from the effective date of Client’s proposed initial public offering of its units pursuant
to Client’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2007, as amended (such Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement” and such date, the
“Effective Date”) until Client’s failure to consummate a Business Combination (as defined in the Registration Statement) on any day during the twenty-four-month period immediately following the Effective Date (the
“Term”). 
 2. BASE SERVICES. Client shall be provided with the non-exclusive use of the Offices and shall
have access to the Offices twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. In exchange for the Monthly Fixed Fee for Base Services, Firm agrees to provide the following base services: office cleaning, maintenance services, office
supplies, electricity, heating and air conditioning to the Offices (the “Base Services”). In addition, Client will have reasonable use of Firm common area facilities. Client shall use the Offices and auxiliary areas of the
facilities solely for general office use in the conduct of the Client’s business. 
 If for any reason whatsoever, Firm is unable to
deliver possession of the Offices or a mutually agreed upon alternative office at the time herein agreed, Client may either extend the Effective Date until the Offices become available or, as its sole remedy for such failure, cancel and terminate
this Agreement if the Offices are not delivered to Client within five (5) business days after written notice to Firm by Client, in which case any prior payments shall be fully refunded. No such failure to deliver possession shall subject
Firm to any liability for loss or damage, nor affect the validity of this Agreement or the obligations of the Client hereunder. 
 In order
to accommodate the needs of potential multiple office clients, Firm will have the right, upon ten (10) days’ written notice, to relocate Client to other offices in the Building and to substitute such other offices for the Offices
contracted herein, provided such other offices are substantially similar in area and configuration to Client’s contracted offices and provided Client shall incur no increase in the total monthly fee or any relocation cost or expense.

 3. OFFICE SERVICES. Firm agrees, in exchange for a Monthly Fixed Fee for Office Services (which fee is in addition to the
Monthly Fixed Fee for Base Services), to provide the following office services: administrative support, including, but not limited to, information technology, secretarial and bookkeeping services as well as communications services such as unlimited
use of Internet/Data, telephone, fax and photocopier (the “Office Services”). 
 Client will not offer to any party in the
Building any of the services which Firm provides to Client. Firm will answer all incoming phone calls, unless otherwise mutually agreed, during normal business hours, as reasonably determined by Firm. 







 Client acknowledges that due to the imperfect nature of verbal, written and electronic communications,
Firm shall not be responsible for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the failure of Firm to furnish any service, including but not limited to the conveying of messages, communications and other utilities or services required
under this Agreement. 
 Client expressly agrees to waive the right to make any claim for damages, direct or consequential, arising out of
any failure to furnish any utility, service or facility, any error or omission with respect thereto, or any delay or interruption of the same. 
 4. DURATION OF AGREEMENT. After expiration of the Term, the Agreement will automatically terminate. Prior to expiration of the term, either party may terminate the Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ advance
written notice to the other party. 
 5. PAYMENTS. The monthly invoices/statements for the Monthly Fixed Fee for Base
Services and the Monthly Fixed Fee for Office Services will be billed in advance. Statements will be placed in the mailbox or faxed to Client on the first day of each month with payments due by the fifth day of each month. If the term
shall not commence on the first day of a month or end on the last day of a month, fees for any such month shall be prorated. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable at the office of Firm or to such other location or to any agent
designated in writing by Firm. 
 6. DAMAGES AND INSURANCE. Client will not damage or deface the furnishings, walls, floors
or ceiling. Client will not cause damage to any part of the facilities or the Building or disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other licensee or occupant of the Building nor suffer to be made any waste, obstruction or unlawful, improper or
offensive use of the Offices or the common area facilities. At the termination of this Agreement, Client will return the Offices in as good of condition as when Client took possession, though normal wear and tear shall be expected. Firm
shall have the right to show the Offices to prospective clients, provided Firm will use reasonable efforts not to disrupt Client’s business. 
 Firm and its respective directors, licensors, officers, agents, servants and employees shall not, to the extent permitted by law, except upon the affirmative showing of Firm’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, be liable for, and
Client waives all right of recovery against such entities and individuals for any damage or claim with respect to any injury to any person or damage to, or loss or destruction of any property of Client, its employees, authorized persons and invitees
due to any act, omission or occurrence in or about the Firm facilities or the Building. Without limitation of any other provision hereof, Client agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Firm and its respective directors, licensors,
officers, agents, servants and employees harmless from and against all liability to third parties arising out of Client’s use and occupancy of the Offices or actions or omissions of Client and its agents, employees, contractors, and
invitees. Client further agrees that all personal property of Client, its agents, employees, contractors, and invitees, within or about the Firm facilities of the Building shall be at the sole risk of Client. 
 Firm and Client each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against each other, or against the officers, employees, agents or representatives of the
other, for loss of or damage to its property or the property of others under its control, to the extent such loss or damage is covered by any insurance policy. 
 If Firm’s Building or facilities are made unusable, in whole or in part by fire or other casualty not due to the negligence of Client, Firm may, at its option, terminate the Agreement upon notice to Client,
effective upon such casualty, or may elect to repair, restore, or rehabilitate, or cause to be repaired, restored or rehabilitated, the Firm facilities, without expense to Client, within ninety (90) days or within such longer period of time as
may be required because of events beyond Firm ‘s control. The Monthly Fixed Fee for Base Services and the Monthly Fixed Fee for Office Services shall be abated on a pro rata basis for the period of time the Offices are unusable.

 7. DEFAULT. The Client shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement: (a) if Client fails to pay the Monthly
Fixed Fee for Base Services or Monthly Fixed Fee for Office Services, (b) if Client fails to promptly and fully perform any other provisions of this Agreement and any such default continues in excess of five (5) business days after written
notice by Firm, or (c) if Client fails to comply with the laws or permit licensing rules and other requirements regulating the conduct of Client’s business. Should Client be in default hereunder, Firm may terminate any or all of the
services for the period of such default.

 C. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Agreement. 
 D. Client represents and warrants to Firm that there
are no agents, brokers, finders or other parties with whom Client has dealt who are or may be entitled to any commission or fee with respect to this Agreement.

no other property or assets of Firm shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of Client’s remedies with respect to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties hereunder or Client’s use of
the Offices, such exculpation of personal liability to be absolute. 
 J. Firm shall not be liable for any interruption or error in the
performance of its services to Client. Client waives any recourse against Firm arising from the provision of such services, including, without limitation, any claim of business interruption or for any indirect, incidental, special,

 M. Failure of Firm to
insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy available for a breach thereof, or acceptance of full or partial payment during the continuance of any such breach, will not constitute
a waiver of any such breach or any such term or condition. No term or condition of this Agreement required to be performed by Client and no breach thereof, will be waived, altered or modified, except by a written instrument executed by Firm.
