THIS QUALIFIED SPONSOR AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into effective

________, 20____ (“Effective Date”), by and between __________________, a _________

(“Sponsor”), and THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO, an agency of the State of Texas and an

institution of higher education (“University”).

University has the right to grant Sponsor certain sponsorship benefits related to

University’s Intercollegiate Athletics.

Sponsor desires to identify itself as an official sponsor (“Official Sponsor”) of University’s

Intercollegiate Athletics and receive sponsorship recognition rights provided in this Agreement in

exchange for the sponsorship payment described in Section 3 of this Agreement.

Sponsor is aware that the terms of this Agreement will not incorporate or affect any

philanthropic payments donated to University by Sponsor, if any.

In consideration of good and valuable consideration received and acknowledged to be

adequate, Sponsor and University agree as follows:

1. Sponsorship Recognition.

1.1. Recognition. University will provide to Sponsor recognition as set forth on

EXHIBIT A Sponsorship Recognition & Guidelines, attached and incorporated for all purposes,

so long as such recognition complies with Section 1.2 and satisfies the qualified sponsorship

requirements under the then current Treasury Regulations. All sponsorship recognition provided

under this Agreement is collectively referred to herein as “Sponsorship Recognition.” All

Sponsorship Recognition materials provided under this Agreement are collectively referred to as

“Sponsorship Recognition Material.”

1.2. No Endorsements or Calls to Action. Notwithstanding any other term or

condition of this Agreement to the contrary, no Sponsorship Recognition Material or recognition of

Sponsor of any other any kind, may state or imply that University endorses a particular company,

organization or any other entity, including Sponsor, or any other entity’s goods or services, including

Sponsor’s goods or services.

Sponsor will not have the right to display a message in Sponsorship Recognition Material that

contains a comparative or qualitative description of Sponsor's goods or services, price information

about Sponsor's goods or services, or any other message that is a call to action related to Sponsor's

goods or services.

2. Term; Termination.

2.1 Term. The term (“Term”) of this Agreement will commence on the Effective

Date and will expire on August 31, 2025 (“Expiration Date”) with a one (1) three (3) year option

to extend; provided, the stated expiration date of the Term of this Agreement will not be later than

the stated expiration date of that certain Beverage Vending and Pouring Rights Agreement

between University and Sponsor dated effective _, 20___ (the “Beverage

Agreement”). The Term of this Agreement will run conterminously with the term of the Beverage

Agreement, and upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Beverage Agreement, this

Agreement will automatically and simultaneously terminate also.

2.2 Termination with Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement,

effective upon delivery of a termination notice, without prejudice to any other legal or equitable

rights to which such terminating party may be entitled, if (i) the other party fails to perform a

material duty or obligation under this Agreement, and that failure is not (a) cured to the satisfaction

of the non-defaulting party within thirty (30) days following written notice of the failure to the

defaulting party, or (b) to the extent not reasonably curable within the thirty (30) day time period,

attempted to be cured within the thirty (30) day period and, thereafter, pursued diligently until

cured to the satisfaction of the non-defaulting party within a reasonable time period; or (ii) any of

the representations or warranties made by the other party to this Agreement prove to be untrue

or inaccurate in any material respect.

2.3 University’s Rights to Terminate. University may immediately terminate

this Agreement upon written notice to Sponsor, if University determines that continued affiliation

with Sponsor is inconsistent with University’s mission or philosophy and/or adversely impacts the

reputation of University. If University terminates this Agreement under this Section 2.3, Sponsor

will only be required to pay for a pro-rata portion of the Sponsorship Payment due to University

based on the Sponsorship Recognition actually provided to Sponsor by University prior to

termination. If Sponsor has, as of the effective date of termination, paid to University more than

the pro-rata amount, University will refund the difference to Sponsor within thirty (30) days after

the effective date of termination.

2.4 Continuing Obligations. Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any

reason will not relieve either party from its obligation to (i) perform up to the effective date of

expiration or termination, or (ii) perform such obligations as may survive expiration or termination.

3. Sponsorship Payment. [NOTE TO PROPOSER: This Section 3 will be

completed based on Sponsor’s proposal in response to Section 6 of the RFP. For example:

As consideration for the rights granted to Sponsor under this Agreement, Sponsor will pay

to University sponsorship recognition): an aggregate amount of __________________
