Document:

This agreement is entered into as of April 21,2003 between Asbury Automotive
Group, Inc. ("Asbury") and Phil Johnson ("Executive"), a key employee of Asbury,
in order to provide for an agreed-upon compensation in the event that
Executive's employment is terminated as defined in this agreement.

1.       Severance Pay Arrangement

     If a Termination (as defined below) of Executive's employment occurs at any
     time during Executive's employment, Asbury will pay Executive 12 months of
     Executive's base salary as of the date of Termination as Severance Pay.
     Payment (subject to required withholding) will be made by Asbury to
     Executive monthly on the regular payroll dates of Asbury starting with the
     date of Termination.

     If Executive participates in a bonus compensation plan at the date of
     Termination, Severance Pay will also include a portion of the target bonus
     for the year of Termination in an amount equal to the target bonus
     multiplied by the percentage of such year that has expired through the date
     of Termination.

     In addition, Executive shall be entitled for 12 months following the date
     of Termination to continue to participate at the same level of coverage and
     Executive contribution in any health, dental, disability and life insurance
     plans, as may be amended from time to time, in which Executive was
     participating immediately prior to the date of Termination. Such
     participation will terminate 30 days after Executive has obtained other
     employment under which Executive is covered by equal benefits. Executive
     agrees to notify Asbury promptly upon obtaining such other employment. At
     the option of Executive, COBRA coverage will be available, as provided by
     company policy, at the termination of the extended benefits provided above.

2.       Change of Control Arrangement

     In the event that a Termination occurs at any time within two years after a
     Change of Control, then (1) the term "12 months" in the first and third
     paragraphs of Section 1 of this agreement shall be replaced with "36
     months" and (2) the term "one year" in Section 5 and Section 6 of this
     agreement shall be replaced with "36 months". For purposes of this Section,
     "Change of Control" shall having the meaning ascribed to such term in
     Asbury's 2002 Stock Option Plan, as such plan may be amended from time to
     time.

3.       Definition of Termination Triggering Severance Pay

     A "Termination" triggering the Severance Pay set forth above in Sections 1
     and 2 is defined as (1) termination of Executive's employment by Asbury for
     any reason, except death, disability, retirement, voluntary resignation or
     "cause", or (2) termination by Executive because of mandatory relocation of
     Executive's current principal place of business to a location more than 50
     miles away, or (3) Asbury's reduction of Executive's base salary, or (4)
     any material diminution of Executive's duties or job title, except in a
     termination for "cause", death, "disability," retirement or voluntary
     resignation. The definition of "cause" is: (a) Executive's gross negligence
     or serious misconduct (including, without limitation, any criminal,
     fraudulent or dishonest conduct) that is injurious to Asbury or any of its
     affiliates; or (b) Executive being convicted of, or entering a plea of nolo
     contendere to, any crime that constitutes a felony or involves moral
     turpitude; or (c) Executive's material breach of Sections 4, 5 or 6 below
     or (d) Executive's willful and continued failure to substantially perform
     Executive's duties with Asbury or (e) Executive's material breach of a
     material written policy of Asbury. The definition of "disability" is a
     physical or mental disability or infirmity that prevents the performance by
     Executive of his duties lasting (or likely to last, based on competent
     medical evidence presented to Asbury) for a continuous period of six months
     or longer.

4.       Confidential Information Nondisclosure Provision

     During and after employment with Asbury, Executive agrees not to disclose
     to any person (other than to an employee or director of Asbury or any
     affiliate and except as may be required by law) and not to use to compete
     with Asbury or any affiliate any confidential or proprietary information,
     knowledge or data that is not in the public domain that was obtained by
     Executive while employed by Asbury with respect to Asbury or any affiliate
     or with respect to any products, improvements, customers, methods of
     distribution, sales, prices, profits, costs, contracts, suppliers, business
     prospects, business methods, techniques, research, trade secrets or
     know-how of Asbury or any affiliate (collectively, "Confidential
     Information"). In the event Executive's employment terminates for any
     reason, Executive will deliver to Asbury on or before the date of
     termination all documents and data of any nature pertaining to Executive's
     work with Asbury and will not take any documents or data or any
     reproduction, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential
     Information. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach by Executive of
     this provision, Asbury shall be entitled to inform all potential or new
     employers of this provision and to cease payments and benefits that would
     otherwise be made pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 above, as well as to obtain
     injunctive relief and damages which may include recovery of amounts paid to
     Executive under this agreement.

     Executive agrees that for a period of one year following final payment to
     Executive as required under Sections 1and 2, Executive shall not directly
     or indirectly solicit for employment or employ any person who, at any time
     during the 12 months preceding such last day of Executive's employment, is
     or was employed by Asbury or any affiliate or induce or attempt to persuade
     any employee of Asbury or any affiliate to terminate their employment
     relationship. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach by Executive
     of this provision, Asbury shall be entitled to inform all potential or new
     employers of this provision and to cease payments and benefits that would
     otherwise be made pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 above, as well as to obtain
     injunctive relief and damages which may include recovery of amounts paid to
     Executive under this agreement.

6.       Covenant Not to Compete

     While Executive is employed by Asbury, Executive shall not directly or
     indirectly engage in, participate in, represent or be connected with in any
     way, as an officer, director, partner, owner, employee, agent, independent
     contractor, consultant, proprietor or stockholder (except for the ownership
     of a less than 5% stock interest in a publicly-traded corporation) or
     otherwise, any business or activity which competes with the business of
     Asbury or any affiliate unless expressly consented to in writing by the
     Chief Executive Officer of Asbury (collectively, "Covenant Not To
     Compete").

     In the event Executive's employment terminates for any reason, the
     provisions of the Covenant Not To Compete shall remain in effect for a
     period of one year following final payment to Executive as required under
     Sections 1 and 2, except that the prohibition above on "any business or
     activity which competes with the business of Asbury or any affiliate" shall
     be limited to Autonation, Sonic, Lithia, United Auto Group and other public
     groups. Executive shall disclose in writing to Asbury the name, address and
     type of business conducted by any proposed new employer of Executive if
     requested in writing by Asbury. Executive agrees that in the event of a
     breach by Executive of this Covenant Not To Compete, Asbury shall be
     entitled to inform all potential or new employers of this Covenant and to
     cease payments and benefits that would otherwise be made pursuant to
     Sections 1 and 2 above, as well as to obtain injunctive relief and damages
     which may include recovery of amounts paid to Executive under this
     agreement.

7.       Parachute Payment Limitation

     Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, if any
     severance pay or benefits payable under this agreement (without the
     application of this Section 7), either alone or together with other
     payments, awards, benefits or distributions (or any acceleration of any
     payment, award, benefit or distribution) pursuant to any agreement, plan or
     arrangement with Asbury or any of its affiliates (the "Total Payments"),
     would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the
     U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder
     (the "Code")), then [the following shall occur:

(a)          tax counsel selected by Asbury's independent auditors and
             acceptable to Executive shall compute the net present value to
             Executive of all the Total Payments after reduction for the excise
             taxes imposed by Code Section 4999 and for any normal income taxes
             that would be imposed on Executive if such Total Payments
             constituted Executive's sole taxable income; and

(b)          said tax counsel shall next compute the maximum Total Payments that
             can be provided without any such Total Payments being characterized
             as "Excess Parachute Payments" (as defined in Code Section 280G)
             and reduce the result by the amount of any normal income taxes that
             would be imposed on Executive if such reduced Total Payments
             constituted Executive's sole taxable income.

     If the result derived in clause (a) above is greater than the result
     derived in clause (b) above by more than 10% of the result derived in
     clause (b) above, then Asbury shall pay Executive the full amount of the
     Total Payments without reduction. If the result derived from clause (a)
     above is not greater than the result derived in clause (b) above by more
     than 10% of the result derived in clause (b) above, then Asbury shall pay
     Executive the maximum Total Payments possible without any such Total
     Payments being characterized as Excess Parachute Payments. The
     determination of how such Total Payments will be reduced shall be made by
     Executive in good faith after consultation with Asbury.

     4.4     Limitation  of  Warranties.  EXCEPT  AS  EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE,
             --------------------------
NEITHER  PARTY  MAKES  ANY  REPRESENTATIONS  OR  WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER
EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED,  WITH  RESPECT  TO  ITS SOFTWARE, TECHNOLOGY, INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY  OR  ITS  DERIVATIVE  WORKS  THEREOF,  INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE
IMPLIED  WARRANTIES  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  AND  FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

5.     Indemnification.  Licensor  will indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and
       ---------------
its  officers,  directors, agents, attorneys and employees (hereinafter referred
to  individually  as  an  "Indemnified  Person" and collectively as "Indemnified
Persons")  from  and against any and all losses, costs, damages, liabilities and
expenses  arising  from  claims,  demands, actions, causes of action, including,
without  limitation,  legal  fees  (collectively,  "Damages") arising out of any
misrepresentation  or  breach  of  or  default  in  connection  with  any of the
representations,  warranties, covenants and agreements given or made by Licensor
in  this  Agreement  (including  defense of any third party claim that, if true,
would  constitute  such  a  misrepresentation,  breach  or  default).  5.

     5.1     Resolution  of  Conflicts  and  Arbitration.
             -------------------------------------------

          a)  In case Licensor shall so object in writing to any claim or claims
     by  Licensee  made in any Officer's Certificate, Licensee shall have thirty
     (30)  days  to respond in a written statement to the objection of Licensor.
     If  after  such  thirty  (30)  day period there remains a dispute as to any
     claims,  Licensor  and Licensee shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30)
     days  to  agree  upon  the rights of the respective parties with respect to
     each  of  such  claims.  a)

          b)  If  no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation,
     either  Licensee  or  Licensor  may, by written notice to the other, demand
     arbitration  of  the  matter  unless the amount of the damage or loss is at
     issue  in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration
     shall  not  be  commenced  until such amount is ascertained or both parties
     agree  to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled
     by  arbitration  conducted  by  one arbitrator. Licensee and Licensor shall
     agree  on  the  arbitrator,  provided  that if Licensee and Licensor cannot
     agree  on such arbitrator, either Licensee or Licensor can request that the
     American  Arbitration  Association  select  the  arbitrator. The arbitrator
     shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce

                                        3
<PAGE>

     the  cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity,
     adequate  in  the  sole  judgment  of the arbitrators, to discover relevant
     information  from  the  opposing  parties  about  the subject matter of the
     dispute.  The  arbitrator  shall  rule  upon  motions  to  compel  or limit
     discovery  and  shall  have  the  authority  to impose sanctions, including
     attorneys'  fees  and costs, to the same extent as a court of competent law
     or  equity,  should  the  arbitrator  determine  that  discovery was sought
     without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected
     to  without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall
     be  written,  shall  be  in  accordance  with  applicable law and with this
     Agreement,  and  shall  be  supported  by  written  findings  of  fact  and
     conclusion  of law, which shall set forth the basis for the decision of the
     arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of
     any  claim  in  such  Officer's Certificate shall be binding and conclusive
     upon  the  parties  to  this  Agreement..

          c)  Judgment  upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered
     in  any  court  having  jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in
     Washington,  DC  under  the commercial rules then in effect of the American
     Arbitration  Association.  .

     5.2  Third-Party  Claims.  If Licensee becomes aware of a third-party claim
          --------------------
which  Licensee  believes  may  result  in a demand against the Software Service
contract,  Licensee  shall  notify Licensor of such claim, and Licensor shall be
entitled,  at its expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. Licensee
shall  have  the  right  in  its  sole  discretion  to  settle any such claim5.2

6.     LIMITATION  OF DAMAGES.  IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR OR LICENSEE BE LIABLE
AND  EACH  PARTY  COVENANTS  NOT TO BRING ANY CLAIM FOR SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES  OR  FOR  ANY  INDIRECT  DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION EXEMPLARY
DAMAGES,  WHETHER  OR  NOT  SUCH  DAMAGES  WERE  FORESEEN  OR  UNFORESEEN.

7.     CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION.

     7.1     Definition.  "Confidential  Information" means non-public software,
             ----------
technology  and  business  information,  business  and  marketing  plans  and
strategies,  trade  secrets,  customer  lists,  any  written materials marked as
confidential  and  any  other information, including visual or oral information,
which  reasonably  should  be  understood  to  be  confidential.  Confidential
Information  does  not include information that a party can prove: (a) is now or
later  becomes  generally available to the public without fault of the party who
received  such information ("Recipient") from the other party ("Discloser"); (b)
was  rightfully  in Recipient's possession prior to its disclosure by Discloser;
(c)  is independently developed by Recipient without the use of any Confidential
Information  of Discloser; or (d) is obtained by Recipient without obligation of
confidentiality  from  a  third  party  who  has  the  right  to  disclose  it.
Additionally,  a  disclosure of Confidential Information that is (x) in response
to  a  valid  order by a court or other government body, (y) required by law, or
(z)  necessary  to  establish the rights of either party hereunder, shall not be
considered  to  be  a  breach  of  this  Agreement.

     7.2     Use  and Disclosure.  Recipient shall not disclose to any person or
             -------------------
use  for  any  purpose, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or other
written  agreement  signed  by  Discloser,  any  Confidential  Information  of
Discloser.  Recipient  may  disclose  Confidential  Information  only  to  its
employees,  independent  contractors  and  advisors  who  need  to  know  such
information,  and who are bound to keep such information confidential. Recipient
shall  give  Discloser's  Confidential  Information  at  least the same level of
protection  as  it gives its own Confidential Information of similar nature, but
not  less  than  a  reasonable  level  of  protection.  Recipient shall maintain
Confidential  Information  in  a  safe  and  secure  place  and  shall  not copy
Confidential Information except to the extent necessary for the purposes of this
Agreement. All confidentiality obligations shall survive for five (5) years from
the  date of disclosure, except that confidentiality obligations with respect to
any  source  code  shall  survive  for  twenty  (20)  years  from  the  date the
Confidential  Information  was  disclosed  to  Recipient.

<PAGE>

     7.3     Injunctive  Relief.  Each  party,  as  Recipient, acknowledges that
             -------------------
Discloser's  Confidential  Information is highly valuable to Discloser, that any
breach  of  Recipient's  confidentiality  obligations  with  respect thereto may
severely  damage  Discloser,  and  that monetary damages may not be a sufficient
remedy  for  such  breach, and, therefore, that Discloser is entitled, among any
other  available  remedies,  to  seek  immediate  injunctive and other equitable
relief  for  any  such  breach.

8.     MARKETING.

     8.1     Branding;  Copyright  and  Trademark  Use.  The  parties agree that
             -----------------------------------------
Licensee  shall  private-label  the  Software  Service  and  other Technology as
products  of  Licensee, using Licensee's own brand names, trademarks and service
marks.  Product  packaging  and  documentation  for  the  Software shall also be
designed  and  produced  by Licensee, at its sole discretion.  However, Licensee
shall  include, subject to Licensor's approval as to form, appropriate copyright
and  trademark  notices  of  Licensor  in  the documentation for the Technology.

9.     BREACH  OF  AGREEMENT.  If  either  party  believes  that  the  other has
materially  breached  any  provision  of  this Agreement, the party alleging the
breach  shall  deliver  notice  to the other party, specifying the nature of the
alleged  breach.  The  party alleged to be in breach shall have thirty (30) days
from  the date of mailing of such notice in which to attempt to cure the alleged
breach.  During such thirty (30) day period, either party may request a personal
meeting  between  the  parties in which to negotiate in good faith to attempt to
resolve  the  dispute.  If  such  negotiations  are unsuccessful and the alleged
breach  has  not been cured by the end of such thirty (30) day period, the party
alleging the breach may pursue any and all rights and remedies that it has under
this Agreement, at law or in equity, in any judicial or arbitration proceedings.

10.     MISCELLANEOUS.

     10.1     No  Other  Agreement.  This Agreement contains the full and entire
              --------------------
agreement  between  the  parties  with  respect  to  its  subject  matter.  No
modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and
signed  by  both  parties  hereto.

     10.2     Force  Majeure.  Either  party  shall  be  excused  from delays in
              --------------
performing or from any failure to perform any of its duties under this Agreement
to  the  extent such delays or failures result from causes beyond the reasonable
control  of  such party; provided, however, that in order to be excused from any
such  delay  or  failure, such party must promptly notify the other of the delay
and  its  cause  and  must  diligently  act to mitigate such delay to the extent
reasonably  possible.

     10.3     Assignment.  The  benefits of this Agreement shall inure to and be
              ----------

              ------
Agreement  shall be given in writing and may be given by registered or certified
mail, commercial delivery service, facsimile or other customary means of written
communication,  delivered  to  the  addresses  set  forth above or to such other
address  as the party to receive the notice or request shall designate by notice
to  the  other  party.  The  effective  date  of  any notice or request given in
connection  with this Agreement shall be the date on which it is received by the
addressee.

     10.5     Choice  of  Law.  This  Agreement  shall  be  governed  by  and
              ---------------
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard

     10.6     Attorneys' Fees.  In any legal action arising out of or related to

this  Agreement,  the  prevailing  party  shall  be  entitled to an award of its
reasonable  costs  and  attorneys'  fees.

     10.7     Waiver.  Any  waiver  by  a  party  of  any covenant, condition or
              ------
obligation  of  the  other  party  must  be  in  writing and signed by the party
asserted  to have made the waiver, and any such waiver shall not be construed to
be a waiver of any subsequent breach.  No failure to exercise any right or power
under  this Agreement or to insist on strict compliance by the other party shall
constitute  a  waiver of the right in the future to exercise such right or power
or  to  insist  on  strict  compliance.

     10.8     Severability.  If  any  term  of this Agreement is held invalid or
              ------------
unenforceable  by  a  court  or  arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such term
shall  be  reduced  or  otherwise  modified  by  such court or arbitrator to the
minimum  extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.  If such term cannot
be  so  modified, it shall be severed and the parties agree to negotiate in good
faith  a replacement term that approximates, to the maximum extent that is legal
and  valid,  the  original  intent  of  the  deleted  provision.

     10.9     Rights  Reserved.  Licensee  shall  have  the  right,  in its sole
              ----------------
discretion, to market (or not market) the Technology in any manner and under any
name  Licensee chooses.  Nothing in this Agreement shall impair Licensee's right
to  acquire,  license,  independently  develop  for  itself  or  have  others
independently  develop  for  it  similar products performing the same or similar
functions  as  the  Technology.

     10.10     Relationship  of  Parties.  Licensor  and  Licensee  are  acting
               -------------------------
hereunder  as  independent contractors and this Agreement shall not be construed

capacity or to make commitments of any kind for the account of, or on behalf of,
the  other party, except to the extent, and for the purposes, expressly provided
for  and  set  forth  herein.

     IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  parties  hereto have executed this Agreement by
their  duly  authorized  representatives  as  of  the  Effective  Date.
