                      reorganization, merger, or consolidation, in each case,

        7. Restrictive Covenants.

               7.1 Non-Competition. During the term of Employee's employment

or act as an officer, director, agent, employee or consultant of, or assist in
any way or in any capacity, any person, firm, association, partnership,
corporation, or entity which shall be competitive with the supermarket business
then engaged in by Employer, in any area where Employer engages in business. The
restrictions of this Paragraph prohibiting ownership in a competitive business
shall not apply to (i) any ownership or interest held by Employee at the time of
execution of this Agreement, (ii) any ownership of publicly traded stock, or
(iii) any investment in real property (whether made directly or through the
vehicle of a partnership, corporation, investment trust or other entity),
notwithstanding the fact that a supermarket in competition

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

with Employer might be a lessee of some or all of such real property.

               7.2 Delivery of Records. Upon termination of Employee's
employment with Employer, Employee shall deliver to Employer all books, records,
lists of suppliers and customers, samples, price lists, brochures and other
property belonging to Employer or developed in connection with the business of
Employer.

               7.3 Confidentiality. Except in the course of Employer's business,
Employee shall not at any time during or after his employment with Employer,
reveal, divulge or make known to any person, firm or corporation any
confidential knowledge or information or any confidential facts concerning any
suppliers, customers, methods, processes, developments, schedules, lists or
plans of or relating to the business of Employer and will retain all
confidential knowledge and information which he has acquired or which he will
acquire during his employment therewith relating to such suppliers, customers,
methods, processes, developments, schedules, lists or plans and the business of
Employer for the sole benefit of Employer, its successors and assigns; provided,
however, that this restriction shall not apply to any knowledge, information or
fact held by or known to Employee which is generally available from sources
other than Employee or which was acquired by Employee other than in his capacity
as Employee.

               7.4 Reasonableness. In the event any court shall finally hold
that the time or territory or any other provision of this Paragraph 7
constitutes an unreasonable restriction against Employee, the provisions hereof
shall not be rendered void but shall apply as to such time, territory and other
provision to such extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate
constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances involved.

               7.5 Survival. The provisions of this Paragraph 7 shall survive
the termination of the term of this Agreement and shall run to and inure to the
benefit of Employer, its successors and assigns.

        8. Termination.

               8.1 Termination at Will. Employee's employment under the term of
this Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party upon ninety (90)
days written notice to the other party.

               8.2 Termination for Cause.

                      8.2.1 Employee's employment under the terms of this
Agreement may be terminated immediately, at the option of Employer, if Employee
defaults in the performance of any material covenant, agreement, term or
provision of this Agreement to be kept, observed

                                       4

<PAGE>   5

or performed by him, and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days
after written notice from Employer, which notice shall describe the default with
particularity.

                      8.2.2 Employee's employment under the terms of this
Agreement may be suspended without pay immediately, at the option of Employer,
in the event that criminal charges involving a felony of moral turpitude should
be filed against Employee. In the event Employee is convicted of such crime,
such suspension shall automatically become a termination for cause. In the event
that Employee is acquitted of such crime, or in the event such charges should be
dismissed, such suspension shall be terminated and employee shall be reinstated
retroactively.

        9. Payments upon Termination of Employment.

               9.1 Payment to Employee. In the event of the cessation of
Employee's employment prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement,
Employer shall pay to Employee the amounts set forth in this Paragraph 9
biweekly throughout the balance of the term of this Agreement; provided,
however, that Employer shall have no obligation to pay any amounts whatsoever
under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 if Employee: (a) is terminated by Jack
H. Brown in his capacity as President and/or Chief Executive Officer of
Employer; (b) is terminated by Employer's Board of Directors with the
concurrence of Jack H. Brown in his capacity as President and/or Chief Executive
Officer of Employer; (c) voluntarily terminated his employment during such time
as Jack H. Brown may be President and/or Chief Executive Officer of Employer;
(d) is terminated for cause, as that term is defined in Paragraph 8.2 hereof; or
(e) if upon a Change of Control, Employee accepts a renewal of the term of this
Agreement and thereafter voluntarily terminates his employment.

                      9.1.1 Calculation of Payments. The first twenty-six (26)
payments to be made pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 9 shall be in an
amount equal to 1/26th of the greater of (i) the average of the annual total
compensation (including, but not limited to, salary and bonus) paid by Employer,
its affiliates and/or successors to Employee during the three (3) year period
immediately preceding Employee's termination of employment hereunder, or (ii)
the amount of Employee's total compensation (including, but not limited to,
salary and bonus) paid by Employer, its affiliates and/or successors to Employee
during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding Employee's termination
of employment. Thereafter, the biweekly payments shall increase annually in
accordance with Subparagraph 9.1.2.

                      9.1.2 Annual Increases. On each anniversary of Employee's
termination from employment, any remaining amounts to be paid during the next
year pursuant to this Paragraph 9 shall be

                                       5

<PAGE>   6

increased to an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the amounts
required to be paid by Employer hereunder under the provisions of this Paragraph
9 during the preceding year.

               9.2 Payments Upon Death. In the event of the death of Employee,
Employer shall nonetheless pay to the estate of Employee, or in such other
manner as Employee may designate in writing to Employer, all sums which would
otherwise have been paid to Employee under this Paragraph 9 for the balance of
the term of this Agreement. For purposes of funding this obligation to make
payments upon Employee's death, Employer may purchase and hold such life
insurance policies on the life of Employee as may be appropriate; provided,
however, that if the total funds available to Employer under the terms of such
life insurance policies exceed the amount which would otherwise be payable to
Employee by Employer under the terms of this Paragraph 9, Employer's payment
obligation under this Paragraph 9 shall be increased to the total amount
received by Employer under such insurance policies.

               9.3 Termination of Payments. All payments due Employee under this
Paragraph 9 shall cease in the event Employee is employed to perform management
services for compensation for any supermarket chain located in any area where
Employer engages in the supermarket business.

        10. Prior Agreements. All prior employment agreements between Employer
and Employee are hereby superseded and any such agreement or agreements shall be
of no further force or effect.

        11. Personal Nature. This Agreement is personal, and is entered into
based upon the singular skill, qualifications and experience of Employee.
Employee shall not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without the
express written consent of Employer.

permitted by this Agreement or by law to be given by any of the parties hereto
shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly served and given when personally
delivered to the party to whom such notice or communication is directed or, in
lieu of such personal service, when deposited in the United States mail,

               Each party may change the address for notice hereunder by giving
written notice of such change in the manner provided for in this Paragraph.

        13. Good Faith. All approvals required to be given by each party shall

shall use due diligence in its attempt to accomplish any act required to be
accomplished by that party.

        14. Attorneys' Fees. In the event that it should become necessary for
any party to bring an action, including arbitration, either at law or in equity,
to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party in
such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees as a
part of any judgment therein, in addition to any other award which may be
granted.

        15 Applicable Law/Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and

        17. Heirs and Assigns. Subject to any restriction on assignment
contained herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the respective party's heirs and assigns.

        18. Severability. Any provision in this Agreement which is illegal,
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the legality,
validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to replace any illegal, invalid
or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a legal, valid and enforceable
provision that, to the extent possible, will preserve the economic bargain of
this Agreement, or otherwise to amend this Agreement, including the provision
relating to choice of law, to achieve such result.

        19. Indemnity. Employer shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless from
and against any and all loss, cost, liability and damage (including attorneys'
fees) arising out of or connected with, or claimed to arise out of or to be
connected with, any act performed or omitted to be

                                       7

<PAGE>   8

performed under this Agreement, unless it be shown that the act or omission was
not in good faith, or in the event of criminal proceedings that Employer had
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. An adverse judgment or
plea of nolo contendere shall not create a presumption that Employer did not act
in good faith or that he had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action shall be
paid by Employer upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Employer
to repay such expense if it is later determined that Employee was not entitled
to indemnification.

        This Agreement is executed to be effective as of the date first above
set forth.

Monterrey Promoter Agreement
March 28, 2000
Draft #4

1.       A.       Subject to compliance with all the terms and conditions set
                  forth in this Agreement, Organizer/Promoter shall organize,
                  promote and conduct a FedEx Championship Series race
                  Competition in the following year(s): 2001-2005.

         B.       Organizer/Promoter and CART will mutually agree as to the date
                  for each race hereunder. The parties agree that they will
                  exercise reasonable efforts to schedule the races during the
                  same weekend each year and acknowledge the desirability of
                  such date equity. If, however, due to television and
                  scheduling conflicts, in CART's sole discretion it becomes
                  necessary to schedule a race for a different weekend, CART
                  will exercise reasonable efforts to notify Organizer/Promoter
                  of such intention at the earliest possible time.

         C.       Organizer/Promoter agrees not to organize, promote, conduct,
                  authorize or permit the staging of any other major motor
                  racing event(s) at the track(s) designated hereinabove,
                  without the written approval of CART, within the following
                  period of time either preceding or following any Competition
                  hereunder: three (3) weeks.

         D.       It is the intention of both CART and Organizer/Promoter to
                  establish a long-term relationship with a view to gaining the
                  greatest possible benefits for CART and Organizer/Promoter.
                  Therefore, provided Organizer/Promoter is not in breach of any
                  provision of this Agreement, CART and Organizer/Promoter shall
                  commence good faith negotiations with a view to mutually agree
                  on terms and conditions for the extension of this Agreement

         Competition as liquidated damages, together with all costs incurred by
         CART in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney fees, and
         interest at the rate of twelve (12%) percent per annum. Upon receipt in
         full of the amounts specified in this Paragraph 7, CART acknowledges
         that the receipt of said sums shall be CART's sole and exclusive remedy
         in the event CART terminates this Agreement as provided in this
         Paragraph 7. Organizer/Promoter shall be responsible for payment of any
         taxes assessed by any taxing authority on the Organization and Rights
         Fees and/or any withholding requirements based on the distribution of
         same to the teams. Any such tax liability shall be in addition to the
         Organization and Rights Fees payable hereunder. In no event will
         Organizer/Promoter be responsible for any taxes imposed by any taxing
         authority on the income of CART.

8.       Organizer/Promoter shall not be responsible for any purse distribution
         whatsoever in respect to a Competition. CART must approve any and all
         awards given in conjunction with a Competition and/or for the FedEx
         Championship Series or any other CART sanctioned activity.
         Organizer/Promoter agrees to provide driver and owner trophies in
         recognition and representative of the achievements of at least the
         first three (3) finishing positions in each Competition.

9.       A.       CART shall be responsible for providing not less than
                  twenty (20) entrants for each Competition. If CART is unable
                  to provide twenty (20) entrants for any Competition,
                  Organizer/Promoter shall have the right to cancel such
                  Competition, providing that Organizer/Promoter first informs
                  CART in writing of such intent, and provided further that
                  twenty (20) entries have not been received within seven (7)
                  days after receipt by CART of such notice. If
                  Organizer/Promoter under these circumstances exercises this
                  cancellation right, CART will reimburse Organizer/Promoter for
                  the portion of the Organization and Rights Fee theretofore
                  paid for such Competition.

         B.       Either party hereto shall have the right to cancel a
                  Competition due to a "force majeure". "Force majeure" shall
                  mean any event or circumstances (whether arising from natural
                  causes, human or governmental agency or otherwise) beyond the
                  control of the parties including by way of illustration, but
                  not by way of limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other labor
                  disputes, civil strife, war, flood, fire, or acts of God. If
                  there is an unexpected cancellation due to a "force majeure",
                  Organizer/Promoter will be entitled to the return of the
                  portion of the Organization and Rights Fee theretofore paid,
                  except that Organizer/Promoter agrees that CART may retain a
                  sum equivalent to the necessary expenses reasonably incurred
                  by CART and its teams in preparing for such Competition,
                  provided, however, that where CART receives not less than ten
                  (10) business days notice of such unexpected cancellation, the
                  parties acknowledge that such expenses will

                  non-refundable expenditures, i.e., hotel deposits, airline
                  ticketing, car rental, other ground transportation
                  arrangements, etc., which expenses shall be mutually agreed
                  by the parties provided, however, that if the parties are
                  unable to agree informally as to the amount of such
                  expenses, such dispute shall be submitted to binding
                  arbitration and the result of such arbitration shall be
                  enforceable by any court having jurisdiction.

         C.       If Organizer/Promoter cancels or fails to stage a Competition
                  for any reason other than those mentioned within this
                  Paragraph 9, Organizer/Promoter shall forthwith pay to CART
                  and CART shall be entitled to enforce collection of the total
                  amount required under this Agreement for the Competition that
                  was not held and the following year's Competition as
                  liquidated damages, together with all costs incurred by CART
                  in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney fees,
                  and interest at the rate of twelve (12%) percent per annum.
                  Upon receipt in full of the amounts specified in this
                  Paragraph 9C, CART acknowledges that the receipt of said sums
                  shall be CART's sole and exclusive remedy in the event
                  Organizer/Promoter cancels or fails to state a Competition.

10.      Except as expressly provided herein, Organizer/Promoter owns and shall
         have exclusive control over all commercial rights to each Event
         including by way of illustration, but not by way of limitation, the
         right to sell and receive all the proceeds from Event sponsorships,
         signage, admission tickets, programs, novelties, concessions (including
         food and beverage), catering (including food and beverage), hospitality
         facilities, hotel rooms, expositions, displays, parking spaces,
         banquets and licenses to parades.

11.      Organizer/Promoter shall assume and perform all organizational and
         promotional activities for each Event except as otherwise provided
         herein, including but not limited to business organization, promotional
         activity, management, marketing, general affairs, selling tickets,
         track maintenance and accommodations of the press, and further
         understands and agrees that CART disclaims any warranty expressed or
         implied, as to the potential success of any Event organized hereunder.

12.      Organizer/Promoter shall organize and promote the races hereunder as
         major motor racing events. Organizer/Promoter shall have the right to
         on-site track entitlement, and revenues therefrom. On-site entitlement
         is to designate the title/name of the Champ Car race and all CART
         sanctioned support activities at the venue, subject to CART approval
         which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such title sponsorships must
         not conflict with CART Series sponsors (presently

         and public disclosures by either party or its employees or agents
         relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to promotional or
         marketing material, but not including any announcement intended solely
         for internal distribution at either party or any disclosure required by
         legal, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable
         control of the disclosing party, shall be coordinated with and approved
         by the other in writing prior to the release thereof.

13.      A.       CART hereby grants Organizer/Promoter the non-exclusive
                  right to use the names and logos of CART and the FedEx
                  Championship Series in its promotion of each Event during the
                  term hereof, in accordance with all provisions contained in
                  this Agreement. Any logo, design, mark or representation made,
                  formulated, or developed in conjunction with such Event shall
                  be subject to the prior written approval of CART.

         B.       Organizer/Promoter shall display in all advertising and

                  each Event the phrase: "FedEx Championship Series" and the

                  the right to change such phrase and logo.

         C.       Organizer/Promoter shall include in its display of the Series
                  name and logo the symbol (R) to indicate that they are
                  registered marks. A sheet of camera ready art depicting these
                  logos shall be provided by CART. Further, in promoting and
                  advertising each Event, Organizer/Promoter shall promote the
                  Competition as a part of the FedEx Championship Series or as
                  otherwise designated by CART. Organizer/Promoter shall provide
                  such verification of compliance with the provisions contained
                  in this Paragraph 13 as CART may reasonably request.

         D.       Organizer/Promoter shall not use the names, logos or

                  thereof.

         F.       CART and Organizer/Promoter shall at CART's expense promptly
                  take such action as may be necessary to protect the names,

                  or any common law "passing off".

                  identification and artwork of each party as referred to herein
                  (collectively "Trademarks") shall remain the property of such
                  party. Any and all rights in each party's Trademarks under
                  trademark or copyright law or other property rights shall
                  inure to the benefit of and be the exclusive property of such

                  property or any marks or works similar thereto.

14.      A.       Organizer/Promoter agrees that each Competition shall be
                  organized, approved by CART and conducted in accordance with
                  all applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations or other
                  requirements of any government authority, the FIA (CART shall
                  determine in its sole discretion the applicability of FIA
                  requirements), and the CART Rule Book as amended from time to
                  time and as the same may be modified or supplemented by any
                  other rules, regulations, bulletins or releases that may be
                  applicable to such Competition. CART reserves the right to
                  terminate this Agreement at any time without further liability
                  for failure of Organizer/Promoter to abide by said
                  requirements, regulations, rules, or the terms and conditions
                  of this Agreement, by so notifying Organizer/Promoter in
                  writing, upon a five (5) day notice of default/opportunity to
                  cure, unless the circumstances of the default mandate a more
                  immediate cure, or do not warrant any cure period. CART shall
                  notify Organizer/Promoter in writing of any alleged default
                  and Organizer/Promoter shall have five (5) days after receipt
                  of such notice to cure the default, provided, however, if the
                  nature of the default is such that it cannot reasonably be
                  cured within five (5) days, Organizer/Promoter shall not be
                  deemed to be in default if it commences the cure within such
                  five (5) day period and thereafter completes the curative
                  action within a reasonable time. Organizer/Promoter
                  acknowledges receipt of a copy of the CART Rule Book.

         B.       Organizer/Promoter shall be responsible for any licensing
                  fees, bonds, permits, or any other enabling documents and any
                  associated costs required by any government agencies as
                  related to any or all Event matters.

15.      Organizer/Promoter represents and warrants that it has or will have
         sole control of the track and of the premises upon which the track is
         located, including all facilities thereon, and that Organizer/Promoter

                  permit CART or its insurance broker or other designated
                  representative, and the FIA to inspect the track, race course
                  and/or facilities before, during and after each Event. Except
                  as provided in Paragraph 16C, all repairs deemed necessary in
                  order for the track to meet CART and/or FIA safety
                  requirements must be made at Organizer/Promoter's expense and
                  the failure to make the necessary repairs may result in the
                  postponement or cancellation of such Event, in CART's sole
                  discretion. The track site, design and condition shall be
                  subject to review and approval by CART and the FIA.
                  Organizer/Promoter and CART shall consult with one another on
                  the layout and design of the track, including but not limited
                  to the pit area, safety barriers, retention systems, and other
                  facilities for the Competition.

         B.       Annually, seven (7) months prior to the next Event,
                  Organizer/Promoter shall submit an engineering drawing(s) of
                  proposed changes to the race circuit and other facilities for
                  CART's approval. CART will have thirty (30) days to
                  acknowledge approval or request changes. Such drawings are to
                  be treated as confidential, for use by CART as contemplated
                  under this Agreement, and shall not be copied, disseminated
                  (without Organizer/Promoter's prior consent, which shall not
                  be unreasonably withheld), or used for any commercial purpose,
                  subject to any required disclosure pursuant to Paragraph 45
                  below. CART shall have the right to inspect the circuit for
                  the purpose of verifying that the circuit is being constructed
                  in accordance with the drawings as submitted and approved.
                  Within sixty (60) days after the execution of this Agreement,
                  CART and Organizer/Promoter shall mutually agree on the
                  specific track and facility improvements to be implemented for
                  the first Event covered by this Agreement, and a written
                  summary thereof shall be prepared and appended hereto.
                  Thereafter, a similar process shall occur within sixty (60)
                  days following each Event, in respect to improvements or
                  adjustments to be implemented for the following year's Event.

         C.       Any changes to the safety system requested by CART will be
                  identified and communicated by CART to Organizer/Promoter
                  within one hundred twenty (120) days after the conclusion of
                  each Event hereunder. Absent unforeseeable supervening
                  circumstances, the parties agree that the cost of such changes
                  to be implemented for any Event hereunder shall not exceed ten
                  percent (10%) of the Organization and Rights Fee for such
                  Event. The foregoing cost limitation shall be construed to
                  exclude Organizer/Promoter's capital improvements/investments
                  (i.e., fencing, barriers, gravel traps, etc.), as well as
                  changes to the safety system requested by any third party
                  (i.e., not mandated by CART).

         D.       Organizer/Promoter shall be responsible for compliance with
                  all environmental issues associated with this Event.

17.      A.       Organizer/Promoter shall provide at its expense such
                  facilities as CART deems adequate for the use of CART
                  personnel and those directly associated with the Event,
                  including but not limited to race control facilities, garage
                  areas, team and supplier work areas, facilities for
                  participant registration, television, scoring, race car
                  inspection, compiling and distributing media information, a
                  media work area, and facilities and services as may be
                  reasonably required by those who supply products and/or
                  services for the Event. Further details of these and other
                  operational and facility requirements of Organizer/Promoter
                  are agreed to as outlined in SCHEDULE A attached hereto and
                  made a part hereof. Failure to comply with all applicable
                  requirements may result in a fine, which may be levied by CART
                  in its sole discretion, subject to a reasonable notice of
                  default/opportunity to cure. Such fine shall be reasonably
                  related to the magnitude of the requirement(s) with which
                  Organizer/Promoter failed to comply, and any fine in excess of
                  Fifty Thousand ($50,000.00) Dollars shall be subject to the
                  appeal provisions set forth in the CART Rule Book.

         B.       Organizer/Promoter at its expense shall provide, install and
                  maintain the equipment necessary to operate CART's Timing and
                  Scoring system, in accordance with the specifications supplied
                  by CART and its timing and scoring provider, including on
                  street courses the annual set up and tear down of all antennas
                  and cabling. Organizer/Promoter will provide CART's timing and
                  scoring provider or sponsor, free of charge at the
                  start/finish line, on the Timing and Scoring structure and at
                  least one other prominent location, space to affix and display
                  the logo and/or officially designated status of CART's timing
                  and scoring provider or sponsor. Organizer/Promoter shall not
                  sell or secure any timekeeping and/or watch sponsorship which
                  would be in effect during any CART Event. In the event
                  Organizer/Promoter intends to sell signage to a watch company
                  (i.e., not in connection with a timekeeping or watch
                  sponsorship), Organizer/Promoter may do so provided that CART
                  is given prior written notice, and any such watch company
                  signage shall be located at least one hundred (100) meters
                  from any signage related to CART's timing and scoring provider
                  or sponsor and further provided that such company shall not be
                  granted official sponsor, supplier, or comparable designation
                  rights or status in conjunction with any Event hereunder.

18.      Organizer/Promoter shall at its expense furnish all facilities,
         personnel, equipment, security, and services for accommodating and
         controlling the public

                                       10

         during each Event, for whose safety and comfort Organizer/Promoter is
         solely responsible and liable.

19.      A.       Organizer/Promoter shall provide at its expense all necessary
                  personnel as required by CART for the conduct of each
                  Competition hereunder(other than the CART staff and
                  officials), and Organizer/Promoter shall assume all the
                  responsibilities pertaining to workers, volunteers and
                  subcontractors necessary to properly staff the facility for
                  the purposes of the Competition and the public for each Event
                  weekend.

         B.       CART and Organizer/Promoter shall mutually agree to a
                  communications plan, to be provided at Organizer/Promoter's
                  expense. Such Plan shall include translators and translations
                  as may be reasonably requested by CART and its teams, for
                  their operations while in Mexico and the conduct of each
                  Competition.

20.      Organizer/Promoter at its expense shall obtain and maintain insurance
         for each Event and all scheduled activities with an insurance company
         approved by CART. Such insurance must conform to the minimum coverages,
         specifications, limits, etc., as set forth in SCHEDULE B attached
         hereto and made a part hereof. If Organizer/Promoter fails to maintain
         such policies with the required minimum coverage throughout the Event,
         CART may cancel such Event immediately with prior notice to
         Organizer/Promoter, subject to a reasonable notice of
         default/opportunity to cure, or CART may, in its discretion, obtain the
         required insurance from an approved insurance company, with acceptable
         terms, at Organizer/ Promoter's expense.

21.      Only those individuals approved by CART or Organizer/Promoter,
         including but not limited to appropriate staff and officials of CART
         and Organizer/Promoter, drivers and other crew members and necessary
         fire, wrecker, ambulance and security crews, shall have access to or be
         allowed in the paddock, garage and pit areas, the racing surface, and
         other areas to which admission by the general public is normally
         prohibited during the Event, and Organizer/Promoter shall be solely
         responsible and provide sufficient security personnel in such areas to
         enforce this provision at all times during each Event. Such access must
         be in compliance with the CART Rule Book and may not interfere with or
         adversely affect the Competition.

22.      Organizer/Promoter shall honor CART's Unified Credential System and
         shall comply with the facility access provisions implemented by CART,
         as set forth in

                                       11

         SCHEDULE C attached hereto and made a part hereof, and as the same may
         be amended by future discussions and concurrence between CART and its
         race promoters through the promoter group.

23.      A.       CART shall have the exclusive right to contract out or to take
                  or cause to be taken by others, make, broadcast, rebroadcast,
                  use, reproduce, transmit, copyright, sell, license or
                  otherwise dispose of for any purpose whatsoever, television
                  pictures, sound film and tape, motion pictures, still
                  photographs, illustrations, graphics, electronic images and
                  sound of each Event, by any and all means, uses and media, now
                  known or hereafter developed, and the right to use the track
                  PA system audio on the CART web site CART.com. CART shall
                  retain all United States national, international and local
                  broadcast rights including broadcast television, cable and
                  radio. Organizer/Promoter will assure that the presence of
                  personnel and equipment for these or similar purposes shall
                  not be inconsistent with the rights of CART herein provided
                  and shall not interfere or conflict with the exercise of any
                  such rights by CART as herein provided.

         B.       CART shall have the non-exclusive right to market for any
                  commercial purposes the name, identity, layout, likeness,
                  appearance, signage and logo(s) of the track, on a composite
                  basis with other tracks where CART races are conducted,
                  provided, however, that any use of such images for commercial
                  product licensing purposes shall be pursuant to a separate
                  licensing agreement to be negotiated.

         C.       Organizer/Promoter shall be entitled to receive footage and
                  photographs for promotional purposes, subject to the then
                  prevailing production cost.

         D.       The parties recognize that Mexican television rights related
                  to the Series are currently subject to third party contractual
                  requirements. Subject to the foregoing, the parties
                  acknowledge Organizer/Promoter's desire to acquire such
                  rights, and the issue of such future Mexican television rights
                  is, therefore, deferred for future good faith negotiations if
                  such rights are ultimately available.

24.      Organizer/Promoter recognizes and acknowledges that CART has entered or
         intends to enter into a television contract with a United States
         national broadcast or United States cable network and international
         networks for the coverage of each Competition hereunder.

         A.       Detailed operational and facility requirements of
                  Organizer/Promoter in respect to television and other on-site
                  media are identified in SCHEDULE A.

         B.       CART has arranged with the television production companies
                  (subject to network approval) to provide the video portion of
                  the program feed from the mobile unit to Organizer/Promoter,
                  so that Organizer/Promoter may feed the video signal as a
                  courtesy to the medical center, stewards trailer (with
                  monitor), CART business center, operations trailer (with
                  monitor), media center and hospitality suites. This feed is
                  limited to on-site press and hospitality use only. Any other
                  feeds to hotels, bars, or other establishment(s) whether
                  on-site or off, are strictly prohibited, unless approved in
                  writing by CART or the television production company.
                  Organizer/ Promoter shall be responsible for the installation
                  and maintenance of appropriate cable originating at the
                  television compound which will then feed the system.
                  Maintenance and operation of the system is the sole
                  responsibility of Organizer/Promoter.

         C.       CART and Organizer/Promoter agree that it is in the best
                  interest of the sport, its promoters and sponsors to have the
                  same on-site and United States television title sponsor. CART
                  and Organizer/Promoter recognize and agree that all United
                  States television entitlements are derived from a privilege
                  granted by the United States television network and are
                  subject to United States network approval. In the event
                  Organizer/Promoter provides CART with a United States
                  television entitlement sponsor, such sponsor must agree to:
                  (i) purchase one (1) of several commercial unit package
                  options for either United States network or cable coverage to
                  be published by CART or its designee each year, (ii) enter
                  into a negotiated agreement with CART or its designee, or
                  (iii) guarantee a payment for entitlement in return for which
                  Organizer/Promoter will receive eight (8) thirty (30) second
                  commercial units to package with its on-site title. The
                  published rate option packages and payment option will be made
                  available to Organizer/Promoter at least one (1) year in
                  advance.

         D.       Organizer/Promoter may, at its option, and subject to approval
                  by CART or its designee and the appropriate network, elect to
                  guarantee over-the-air United States broadcast network
                  coverage of its Event. In this event Organizer/Promoter will
                  be required to provide a United States television title
                  sponsor subject to: (i) purchase of one (1) of several
                  published minimum commercial unit packages, (ii) enter into a
                  negotiated agreement with CART or its designee, or (iii)
                  guarantee a payment for entitlement to be determined each
                  year. In the payment option (iii) Organizer/Promoter will
                  receive eight (8) thirty (30) second units in the telecast to
                  package with its on-site title.

         E.       In the event Organizer/Promoter elects not to provide CART
                  with a United States television entitlement sponsor or to
                  guarantee over-the-air United States broadcast network
                  coverage, then CART or its designee shall have the option to
                  secure a United States television entitlement sponsor which

                                       13
<PAGE>   15

Draft #4

                  need not be the same as the on-site entitlement sponsor.

         F.       CART and Organizer/Promoter agree that the policies and terms
                  set forth as a condition of both United States and
                  international television coverage of this Event may change
                  from time to time, and, therefore, the United States and
                  international television agreement may supersede portions of
                  this Agreement. In the event that the United States and
                  international television agreement supersedes a portion of
                  this Agreement, CART will immediately notify
                  Organizer/Promoter and work toward a mutually agreed upon
                  solution.

25.      Organizer/Promoter recognizes and acknowledges that CART has the right
         to contract for official sponsors for the FedEx Championship Series,
         which need not coincide with specific Event sponsors, as well as to
         grant other official product designations on a Series wide basis, in
         CART's sole discretion.

26.      A.       CART or its designee shall have the exclusive right to provide
                  any and all pace cars throughout the entire Event. In
                  addition, only pace cars provided by CART or its designee
                  shall be allowed to participate in the parade laps immediately
                  preceding the start of the Champ Car race. Further details of
                  these and other responsibilities of Organizer/Promoter to CART
                  and/or a co-Series sponsor to be designated by CART are agreed
                  to as outlined in SCHEDULE D attached hereto and made a part
                  hereof.

         B.       The Events shall be included in the FedEx Series sponsorship
                  and marketing program, in each year such Event(s) are
                  conducted pursuant to this Agreement, including extensions
                  and/or renewals thereof, up to and including the year 2001,
                  provided the FedEx Series Sponsorship Agreement is then in
                  full force and effect, or longer if such Agreement is
                  extended, provided, however, CART may terminate such
                  participation as of December 31, 2000, upon notice to
                  Organizer/Promoter of such intent by July 1, 2000. Other than
                  the provisions of SCHEDULE G (FedEx Series Marketing and
                  Sponsorship Program), such termination by CART as provided in
                  the proceeding sentence shall have no impact on the terms of
                  this Agreement. Details of the FedEx sponsorship and marketing
                  program and the responsibilities of Organizer/Promoter to

                  the manufacture and distribution by CART licensees of

         F.       It is Organizer/Promoter's responsibility to insure that any

                  In the event that CART discovers any unlicensed products, it

                  discretion.

                  Participating teams will pay a rights fee for the location,
                  which fee shall be (i) consistent with the then current market
                  price and (ii) no less favorable than the terms and conditions
                  provided to other vendors located within the same area.

         H.       This Section 31 shall supersede all related terms of the

                           -        electronics (i.e., television, hi-fi, audio,
                                    etc.)
                           -        long distance

                  Exclusive of FedEx and MCI (or its Mexico affiliate),
                  Organizer/Promoter shall have the right to market the race to
                  sponsors in the exclusive marketing categories so long as CART
                  has not secured Series wide sponsorship in that category six
                  (6) months prior to an Event hereunder. Organizer/Promoter
                  shall promptly notify CART of any proposed sponsorship
                  involving one of the released categories, and may proceed
                  further with such sponsorship only if CART does not then have
                  consummated or pending (subject to consummation within thirty
                  (30) days) the sale of the category Series wide. Further,
                  Organizer/Promoter shall negotiate with CART and such proposed
                  sponsor in good faith for a reasonable period of time to
                  secure the participation of such sponsor in the Series, either
                  on a Series wide basis, or with respect to some or all
                  individual Series races. If after a reasonable period of good
                  faith negotiations, no such arrangement is achieved, then
                  Organizer/Promoter may proceed with such sponsor with respect
                  to one or more Events hereunder. Upon the conclusion of the
                  last Event subject to such agreement with Organizer/Promoter,
                  the category shall again become subject to the above
                  provisions.

         B.       Organizer/Promoter shall provide CART with two (2) pages in
                  the Event Program without charge for CART's own use. CART's
                  placement of advertising within the Program shall be sensitive
                  to Organizer/Promoter's existing commercial and promotional
                  relationships.

         C.       Organizer/Promoter recognizes that each participating team has
                  a race sponsor. Organizer/Promoter agrees that each team may
                  place its team name and sponsor(s) on both sides of the wall
                  in the team's assigned pit box, subject to applicable
                  governmental laws and regulations.

35.      Organizer/Promoter shall provide CART at no cost a preferred location
         pit row suite or other mutually agreed upon hospitality provisions for
         not less than forty (40) guests per day. Hospitality provisions will
         include food and beverage (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) as associated
         with pit suite participation.

36.      If appropriate as determined by CART in its sole discretion, each
         Competition shall appear on the FIA calendar as a full international
         FIA event. Organizer/Promoter agrees to file this listing through CART
         and reimburse CART for all applicable listing fees. In addition,
         Organizer/Promoter agrees to pay through CART the applicable National
         Motorsports Council assessments, as determined by the Council's
         Executive Committee.

37.      Organizer/Promoter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CART, its
         directors, officials and officers, participants, agents and employees,
         members and sponsors from any and all liabilities including liability
         resulting from negligence of the same and all costs and expenses,
         including attorneys fees incurred in the defense thereof, asserted or
         imposed upon CART, its directors, officials, official representatives,
         employees, officers, members and sponsors arising out of or as a result
         of an Event hereunder, directly or indirectly, and whether any such
         claim or liability arises before, during or after the Event.

38.      Organizer/Promoter agrees not to take any action adverse to the
         interest of CART and, in consideration of the acceptance and approval
         of this application, releases and discharges CART and its officials and
         representatives from all liability for personal injury that may be
         received, and from all claims and demands for damages to real or
         personal property or to any person growing out of or resulting from an
         Event hereunder, whether caused by any construction or condition or any
         track or track equipment, cars or debris, or resulting from any act or
         failure of any official or any person assisting the officials serving
         in connection therewith.

39.      Nothing contained herein shall be construed to place CART in the
         relationship of a partner or joint venturer with Organizer/Promoter,
         and Organizer/Promoter shall have no power to obligate or bind CART in
         any manner whatsoever other than as specifically provided for herein.
         Neither party undertakes by this Agreement to perform any obligations
         of the other, whether regulatory or contractual, or to assume any
         responsibility for the other's business or operations.

40.      A.       The validity, interpretation and construction of this
                  Agreement shall be governed and construed by the laws of the
                  State of Michigan.

         B.       In the event a dispute arises under this Agreement which
                  cannot be resolved, such dispute shall be submitted to
                  arbitration and resolved by a single arbitrator (who shall be
                  a lawyer) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules
                  of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. All
                  such arbitration shall take place at the office of the
                  American Arbitration Association located in Southfield,
                  Michigan. The award or decision rendered by the arbitrator
                  shall be final, binding, and conclusive and judgment may be
                  entered upon such award by any court.

41.      This Agreement is not transferable or assignable. Any transfer or
         assignment in

         violation of this provision shall be void. A transfer of more than
         forty-nine (49%) percent of the voting stock or other controlling
         interest in Organizer/Promoter, in one or more transactions (other than
         to the legal spouse, heirs, next-of-kin or estate of a deceased
         transferor, or a deceased principal of a transferor), without CART's
         prior written approval, is deemed to constitute a transfer. A transfer
         of less than forty nine (49%) percent may also constitute a transfer
         for such purposes, if coupled with the imposition of super majority
         voting requirements, so as to effectively result in a change in
         controlling interest. In the event that a prohibited transfer or
         assignment is attempted, such action will not be effective, and CART
         may elect to terminate this Agreement effective immediately.

42.      Any notice or written communication required or permissible hereunder
         shall be sent by registered mail (or certified mail with return
         receipt), postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

                  otherwise, not embodied herein shall be of any force or
                  effect. This Agreement may be modified only upon the written
                  consent of the parties hereto.

         B.       No waiver by either party, whether expressed or implied, of
                  any provision of this Agreement or any breach or default shall
                  constitute a continuing waiver thereof.

         C.       Except as specifically otherwise stated, each and every of the
                  rights, remedies and benefits provided by this Agreement shall
                  be cumulative, and shall not be exclusive of any other said
                  rights, remedies and benefits, or of any other rights,
                  remedies and benefits allowed by law.

         D.       If any provision in this Agreement is held to be invalid or
                  unenforceable, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of
                  the invalidity, without affecting or impairing the validity
                  and enforceability of the remainder of the provision or the
                  remaining provisions of this Agreement.
