RECITALS

WHEREAS NEM has been authorized by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc. (hereinafter “NASCAR”) to grant certain NASCAR-owned and/or NASCAR-controlled rights that are specified in this Agreement to PROMOTER; and

WHEREAS, NEM sanctions and conducts, among other things, stock car racing competition throughout the United States and the world; and

WHEREAS, PROMOTER owns and/or controls the Facility (as hereinafter defined); and

WHEREAS, PROMOTER wishes to have NEM grant a sanction and conduct stock car racing competition as part of the 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, at the Facility; and

WHEREAS, NEM is willing to grant a sanction and to conduct such events for the years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, PROMOTER and NEM are desirous of continuing to enhance and elevate the stature of the Series, as well as the individual events that are a part of the Series. Among other things, this includes how the Series is presented at each event, how events are perceived by fans and stakeholders, and how events individually and collectively measure up against comparable world-class sports events.

In addition, there are expectations from fans, partners, participants, and industry stakeholders that each event will also have appropriate elements of commonality, continuity and consistency representative of the Series as a whole. Ultimately, establishing agreed-upon criteria, benchmarks and an elevation strategy will help insure that these Events and other events within the Series do not just remain world-class in caliber, but that these Events and each event also strive to continually adjust, improve, and evolve with a multi-year perspective that corresponds to this multi-year Agreement;

4. Postponement. NEM will attempt to consult with PROMOTER regarding postponement of a Competition, but the decision to postpone a Competition and the selection of the postponed date will be made by NEM and will be binding on PROMOTER. PROMOTER shall not publish or otherwise announce a postponement of the Competition and/or a postponed date for the Competition without the prior written approval of NEM. If PROMOTER makes such a publication or announcement without NEM’s prior written approval, it shall not be binding upon NEM or NASCAR and PROMOTER shall hold NEM and NASCAR harmless for any and all expense, loss or damage caused by such publication or announcement.

5. Dates and Adjustments by NEM to Future Annual Calendar of Events During the Term of this Agreement. The Event date for 2016 is listed in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement. Event dates for 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 will be determined by NEM, after discussion with PROMOTER, on or before April 1st of each preceding year and will take into account fluctuations in the year-over-year annual calendar caused by the dates of key holidays, the number of weekends in the year, the timing of any “off weekends” in the Series Calendar, and so on. Except as noted in the preceding sentence, NASCAR will use good faith efforts to maintain the relative placement of the Event(s) in the overall sequence of the Series Calendar(s) and maintain the placement of those Event(s) that are traditionally held in conjunction with a major holiday. During the Term of this Agreement, opportunities to enhance the Series may arise that involve adjustments to the annual Series Calendar(s). Opportunities may stem from any number of factors including, but not limited to, requests for realignment, requests for date changes, requests from NASCAR’s then current transmission partners, the dates of other major sports events, changing local market conditions, and so on. Accordingly, NEM may make adjustments to the overall annual Series Calendar for one or more of the future calendar years that fall under the Term of this Agreement to maximize the value of the Series. Except as noted above, if such an adjustment requires an Event date change(s) of more than two (2) weeks, NEM will notify PROMOTER on or before April 1^st of the preceding year and such change will only be made with the PROMOTER’s consent.

6. Adjustments to Enhance the Series and/or for the Orderly Conduct of the Sport. If and when a significant opportunity arises, NEM will advise and consult with PROMOTER as far in advance as practical regarding that opportunity and advise of any possible direct bearing on the Event(s) in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, NEM may make routine adjustments necessary for the orderly conduct of the sport including, but not limited to: adjustments to Competitor award programs; adjustments to practice and qualifying procedures; adjustments to Event schedules, adjustments to race formats including, but not limited to, the distance of the race; adjustments to Event operational standards and/or other standards specified in existing Exhibits to this Agreement as industry standards change; adjustments to Event insurance requirements; adjustments to the type of fuel used in the racecars; adjustments to NASCAR testing policies; and so on. Individual adjustments to existing race length(s) and/or format(s) in this Agreement will be made by NEM only with the consent of the PROMOTER, unless race length and/or format adjustments are being implemented on a broader basis to enhance the Series or for reasons of Force Majeure. If race length and/or format adjustments are being implemented on a broader basis across multiple facilities by NEM to enhance the Series, and the PROMOTER does not agree to the adjustment of the race length(s) and/or format(s) for one or more of the Events listed in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement, then PROMOTER may terminate this Agreement upon notification of such adjustment by NEM via written notification per Section 44.

If NEM determines that it is necessary to resurface the racetrack, such resurfacing shall be completed by PROMOTER sufficiently in advance of an Event to allow for tire and private car testing in strict accordance with all NASCAR Testing Policies in effect at that time. If NEM determines that there is insufficient time to place the racetrack, or any other portion of the Facility, in a condition suitable for an Event, NEM may postpone or cancel the Event.

Page 12 of 26

15. Other Track Activities. PROMOTER shall not schedule or permit any private race car practice or test runs at the Facility for the seven (7) calendar days immediately preceding the first day of official practice for each Event without prior written approval by NEM.

PROMOTER shall be given a copy of all applicable Testing Policies in place as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and shall be provided upon their release with any updates that occur during the Term. PROMOTER shall not schedule or permit any other entertainment activities at the Facility during any Event without prior written approval by NEM. PROMOTER shall notify NEM at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to each Event of its intention to conduct or permit any such activities. NEM may at its discretion grant its approval with or without condition, but it shall not unreasonably withhold or condition its approval. Except with respect to scheduling as set forth herein, NEM shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to such activities, and PROMOTER shall be solely responsible and liable for such activities. The entertainment activities covered by this Section include without limitation other motorsports events, thrill shows, live performances and/or helicopter rides. In recognition of the importance and stature of the Event and the Series, the financial significance of agreements with NASCAR Rights Affiliates, and the sanction granted under this multi-year Agreement, during the Term of this Agreement PROMOTER covenants not to promote, host, conduct or stage, nor allow any third party(s) to promote, host, conduct or stage, a stock car racing event at the Facility that attempts to duplicate, emulate, imitate, copy, simulate and/or mimic the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series; or uses the same or similar race vehicles, rules, competitors, trademarks, trade dress, and/or “look and feel” of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series; or would create confusion in the public; or would in any way dilute the stature, impact and value of the Event. It is understood that the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section will immediately cause irreparable harm to the Series, NASCAR, NEM, NASCAR Rights Affiliates and others and that any remedy at law for such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy that NASCAR, NEM, NASCAR Rights Affiliates and others may have, it shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunction or other equitable relief restraining any breach or threatened breach, without any bond or other security being required and without the necessity of showing actual damages. If, despite the harm that would be incurred by NASCAR, NEM, NASCAR Rights Affiliates and others, any court construes any of the covenants in this Section to be too broad, the court shall have the authority to reduce the duration, geographic area or scope of prohibited activities to the extent necessary so that the provision is enforceable (and the provision, as reduced, shall then be enforced). In addition, without in any way limiting the foregoing or in any way limiting NEM’s and/or NASCAR’s other options and remedies under Section 34, NEM may determine any and all dilutive financial effects on Live Transmission Income and Ancillary Rights Income for the Event and for the Series for such a breach or threatened breach and deduct that amount from any payments due to PROMOTER under this Agreement.

OFFICIAL ENTRY BLANK AND AWARDS

16. Preparation and Publication of Official Entry Blank. NEM shall compose, print, publish and distribute the Official Entry Blank (“OEB”) for each Event. The OEB shall be the sole official statement as to the date, place, schedule and length of each Event, the eligibility requirements for Competitors, and monetary and non-monetary awards. PROMOTER shall not publish an official or unofficial entry blank or supplement, or any other form setting forth monetary or non-monetary awards, without prior written approval from NEM. PROMOTER shall not advertise or otherwise disseminate any information as to monetary or non-monetary awards for any Event other than those specified in the OEB or NEM-approved supplement for that Event. If PROMOTER engages in such publication, advertising or dissemination, PROMOTER shall hold NEM and NASCAR harmless for any and all loss, expense or damage arising out of such activity, and NEM at its option may also terminate the sanction granted by this Agreement and/or pursue any other remedies against PROMOTER.

17. Additional Awards.

If PROMOTER contracts for Additional Awards, then, subject to the provisions of Section 16, NEM may publish and distribute a supplement to an OEB posting the Additional Award(s).

PROMOTER shall submit to NEM, no later than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the date of each Event, a list of any and all proposed Additional Awards for that Event. PROMOTER shall obtain NEM’s written consent prior to contracting for any Additional Award. NEM may reject a proposed Additional Award in its entirety, require different terms for the proposed Additional

Page 13 of 26

Award, or require a reallocation of the distribution of such an award among Competitors, if in NEM’s sole judgment the proposed award will not advance the nature of the competition, will have an adverse impact on that Event, or will be detrimental to the sport of automobile racing, NEM, NASCAR, any sponsors of that Event, or any sponsors of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. PROMOTER assumes full responsibility for, and will indemnify NEM and NASCAR against, any loss, expense or damage incurred as a result of NEM’s determination with respect to any proposed award arranged by or through PROMOTER. All Additional Awards are subject to independent verification by NEM.

18. Unauthorized Awards. PROMOTER shall not offer an award of any kind, at any Event or any other NEM-sanctioned event, or any other non-NEM sanctioned event, which in any way utilizes or relies upon the points system, money standings, or any other NEM-sanctioned race related results, without NEM’s prior written approval. If PROMOTER offers such an award without NEM’s prior written approval, NEM may terminate the sanction granted by this Agreement and/or seek to prohibit or enjoin PROMOTER from offering such an award and/or pursue any other remedies available to it. If such an award is offered by a third party without NEM’s prior written approval, PROMOTER shall cooperate with NEM to prohibit or enjoin the third party from offering such an award. Cooperation by PROMOTER shall include, but is not limited to, the assignment of PROMOTER’s rights to enjoin the third party. If PROMOTER, in NEM’s sole judgment, fails to cooperate fully with NEM to prohibit or enjoin such an award, NEM at its option may terminate the sanction granted by this Agreement and/or pursue any other remedies available to it.

PROMOTER’S FINANCIAL AND INSURANCE OBLIGATIONS

19. NEM Event Fee. For each Event, PROMOTER shall pay to Awards & Achievement Bureau, Inc., a Florida Corporation, acting as Paying Agent by wire transfer of funds (but not by ACH or other fund transfer methods), an amount equal to the NEM Event Fee for that Event set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement, plus any other monies due NEM for that Event pursuant to this Agreement, unless otherwise directed by NEM in writing. Time is of the essence. If said monies and fees are not paid in the manner required and by the Payment Date for that Event specified in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement, NEM at its option may (a) terminate the sanction granted by this Agreement, (b) enforce collection of said monies and fees by suit or legal action, and/or (c) pursue any other remedies available to it. NEM shall provide wiring instructions to PROMOTER prior to each Payment Date. For each Event, NEM shall cause Paying Agent to: i) send to Competitors payments representing the drivers’ purses, awards and certain other monies to be paid in accordance with the Official Entry Blank for that Event, net of any withholding of applicable taxes, as directed by NEM; ii) retain any and all unpaid prize money, if applicable, for distribution in programs designed for the benefit of Competitors, as NEM may determine from time to time, and; iii) withhold and remit applicable taxes to applicable taxing authorities. Prior to each Event, PROMOTER shall assist NEM in identifying any and all local and/or state income taxing authorities which must be satisfied by Paying Agent relative to this Section. The Paying Agent shall withhold taxes and such collected taxes shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the appropriate taxing authorities as identified. The Paying Agent’s obligation to make payments under this Section shall at all times be conditioned upon the PROMOTER’s wire transfer of each NEM Event Fee in strict accordance with this Agreement, and nothing shall be construed to require the Paying Agent or NEM or NASCAR to advance its own funds for any purpose. All payments by all parties described in this Section shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, unless otherwise specified herein.

20. Insurance.

Event Insurance. PROMOTER shall obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance that is acceptable to NEM for each Event from an insurance company that is acceptable to NEM for (i) spectator injury and property damage and (ii) participant legal liability, product liability and advertising liability with a minimum combined single limit equal to but not less than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) per occurrence, and medical malpractice liability insurance of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (unless NEM approves a lesser limit in writing prior to the Event). NEM may require that PROMOTER obtain such insurance in greater amount or scope by providing notice to PROMOTER at least one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the date of an Event.

All policies shall be primary regardless of insurance carried by NEM, NASCAR or other additional insureds, and contain a cross liability endorsement acceptable to NEM. If (a) PROMOTER fails to deliver such policies to NEM by each Notification Date, (b) the policies are not acceptable to NEM, or (c) PROMOTER fails to maintain such policies with the required minimum coverage throughout each Event, NEM at its option but at PROMOTER’s expense may obtain the required insurance from an acceptable insurance company or NEM may terminate the sanction granted by this Agreement immediately and without notice to PROMOTER and/or pursue any other remedies available to it. NEM reserves the right, on an annual basis, to amend these insurance requirements due to significant changes in the insurance industry and/or regulations and will provide as much notice to PROMOTER as reasonably possible.

Broadcast Insurance. NEM shall require the Entity providing the Live Transmission to maintain statutory and workers’ compensation coverages for each Event. NEM shall require the Entity providing the Live Transmission to name PROMOTER and NEM as additional insureds on its broadcast and comprehensive general liability policies. These policies shall have a limit of at least One Million Dollars ($1 million) per occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2 million) annual aggregate.

NASCAR Insurance Plan. The NASCAR insurance plan (participant/accident coverage in place for NASCAR-licensed Competitors in NEM-sanctioned racing) is not applicable to and does not provide coverage for Competitors, whether NASCAR-licensed or not, in any non-NEM-sanctioned racing or other activities at the Facility during any Event that are not expressly listed in this Agreement or in a fully executed NEM sanction agreement pertaining to another NASCAR series running during the same Event.

21. Cross Trademark Licenses.

Grant of License by NEM. NEM hereby grants to PROMOTER a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the NASCAR and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series marks listed on Exhibit 3 to this Agreement (collectively, the “NASCAR Marks”), as they may be amended, added, and/or deleted from time to time, in connection with the publicity, promotion and advertising of each applicable Event.

iv)

Structure of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship and Related Terminology. NEM, at its sole discretion, will determine both the overall and event-specific structure of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series each year. This includes, but is not limited to, the structure and make-up of specific portions of the racing season (i.e.; “Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup”); the NASCAR marketing calendar for industry-wide initiatives (i.e.; “NASCAR Race to the Green”; “NASCAR Day”, etc.); Series-related pre-season, season, and post-season events (i.e.; “NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards”); any adjustments to the annual Calendar as outlined in this Agreement; and other structural and promotional elements related to the conduct of and for the benefit of the Series as a whole.

The foregoing does not limit the PROMOTER’s ability to sell Event entitlement, or the entitlement of competition elements such as time trials or practice runs, or to use the name of the Entitlement Sponsor in connection with an Event, subject to NEM approval as outlined in this Agreement.

Grant of License by PROMOTER. PROMOTER hereby grants to NEM and NASCAR a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and sublicense, strictly in accordance with this Agreement, PROMOTER’s Marks listed on Exhibit 4 to this Agreement (collectively, the “PROMOTER’s Marks”) in connection with publicity, promotion and advertising of each Event and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the publicity, promotion and advertising of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and the exploitation of Live Transmission Rights and Ancillary Rights.

Page 16 of 26

iii)

Indemnity. PROMOTER hereby agrees to indemnify NEM and NASCAR from any claims or loss arising out of NEM’s or NASCAR’s use of PROMOTER’s Marks in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

22. Limited Assignment of Certain Other Rights. Solely to the extent that any other person or entity grants to NASCAR rights to use and sublicense their name(s), picture(s), likeness(es) or performance(s) in connection with an Event, and NASCAR has sublicensed these rights to NEM, NEM hereby grants to PROMOTER a non-exclusive sublicense to use such name(s), picture(s), likeness(es) or performance(s) for the purpose of publicizing, promoting or advertising that Event, but not for the purpose of exploiting Live Transmission Rights or Ancillary Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NEM may disapprove and prohibit PROMOTER’s actual or intended use of such name, picture, likeness or performance if NEM determines that such use is or will be detrimental to NEM, to NASCAR, to an Event, to the Series of which that Event is a part, or to the sport. PROMOTER understands and acknowledges that, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, such rights are normally granted to NASCAR on an annual basis and are normally applicable only to that calendar year.

23. Misrepresentations. PROMOTER shall make no misrepresentations of fact in connection with publicizing, promoting or advertising any Event.

24. Cooperation with Sponsors. PROMOTER acknowledges that each Event is part of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for that year. PROMOTER shall cooperate fully with NEM, with the series sponsor(s), and with any other company that has contracted with NASCAR to sponsor awards or programs (including without limitation the Coors Light Pole Award or the Sunoco Rookie-of-the-Year Award or successor awards and programs) that are based in whole or in part on a Competitor’s performance in an Event or over a number of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events, in connection with those sponsors’ activities, if any, during each Event. PROMOTER, on its own and at the request of NEM, will use its best efforts to feature such sponsors prominently in all of PROMOTER’s advertising, publicity and promotion in connection with each Event, and no competitor of such a sponsor shall be featured therein as prominently as such sponsor. PROMOTER shall take no action that, in NEM’s sole determination, will jeopardize the maintenance or continuation of such sponsorships. In the event that the Series title sponsorship or official fuel supplier changes after the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to the conclusion of an Event, PROMOTER will not renew, extend or enter into any new agreement with any sponsor that represents a conflict with the new Series sponsor or official fuel supplier during any Event. The determination of what constitutes a conflict shall be at NEM’s sole discretion. Subject to the provisions below, PROMOTER will use its best efforts to resolve all existing sponsor conflicts, if any, relative to these categories in an expeditious manner. PROMOTER will maintain an inventory of at-track and Event-related benefits provided by the PROMOTER to the current Series sponsor for the availability of a new Series sponsor for acquisition as part of an Event Placement Package (“EPP”), with such prices or consideration to be at fair market value. In the event that the new Series sponsor does not acquire an EPP, then PROMOTER shall still be required to deliver those assets and benefits provided in Section 11(u) and 21 of this Agreement; provided however if the new Series sponsor does not enter into an EPP with PROMOTER, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Series Sponsorship Category shall then be deemed non-exclusive and PROMOTER shall be able to sell at track and other promotional inventory to a sponsor which conflicts with the Series Sponsorship Category, and such sales shall not be deemed a breach of the Sanction Agreement. PROMOTER will maintain the full inventory of at-track and Event-related benefits provided by the PROMOTER to the current official fuel supplier for the availability of a new official fuel supplier, provided that the new official fuel supplier shall enter into a licensing agreement with the PROMOTER with respect to such rights. PROMOTER shall permit the use of the PROMOTER’s Marks by the new Series sponsor and by the new official fuel supplier for the purposes of reporting, promoting, publicizing, and advertising each Event, the Series, and/or the new Series sponsor’s or new official fuel supplier’s product/service affiliation with the Events and/or the Series.

a.)

New Series Entitlement Sponsor for NASCAR Cup Series

i.)

NEM and PROMOTER both acknowledge that the Sprint entitlement for the NASCAR Cup Series is scheduled to expire at the end of the 2016 season. NASCAR shall notify PROMOTER of the new Series entitlement sponsor(s) as soon as reasonably possible. NASCAR shall use good faith efforts to encourage new Series entitlement sponsor(s) to negotiate with PROMOTER for at-Facility activation (e.g. ▇▇▇▇). The decision regarding at-Facility activation and the consideration therefore shall rest solely with the new Series sponsor(s). PROMOTER will act in good faith to enter into agreement(s) with the new Series sponsor(s), including but not limited to promotion, signage, hospitality, suite, etc., however failure to reach agreement(s) shall in no way relieve PROMOTER of its obligation to provide all rights granted to a Series sponsor(s) under this Agreement.

ii.)

In the event NEM should provide notice of a change in Series sponsor or official fuel supplier, PROMOTER shall without delay, condition, or objection: (i) fully cooperate with and support NASCAR, NEM, and the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s), as applicable, in effecting such change as may be requested by NASCAR or NEM; (ii) fully accommodate and be subject to any new rules or other requirements resulting from or arising from or otherwise related to such change; (iii) continue to otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement without interruption, delay, or otherwise taking into consideration such change, and (iv) use the new name and related logos or marks in all communications, advertising, publicity and promotion relating to each applicable subsequent Event. PROMOTER will use best efforts to enter into an agreement with the new Series sponsor(s) to implement any sponsor related activation or branding. PROMOTER further agrees that the definition of “Official Logo” and other similarly affected definitions and references in this Agreement as a result of such change to the name or sponsor of the Series as contemplated above shall accordingly be deemed similarly changed to take into consideration any such change to the name or sponsor of the Series as contemplated above, and PROMOTER shall thereafter comply with all provisions of this Agreement, taking into consideration such deemed changes to such definitions and references. NEM or NASCAR shall not be liable under this Agreement to the PROMOTER or any third party for any consequential, incidental, indirect, loss of revenues or profits due to such re-branding of the Series.

25. Approval of Advertising and Sponsors. It is imperative that NEM events and industry sponsors reflect of the image of NASCAR as one of the world’s most successful and exciting sports entertainment properties and that fans feel comfortable and welcome attending or watching NEM events. Therefore, NEM reserves the right to approve or disapprove any advertising, sponsorship or similar agreement in connection with any Event. PROMOTER must submit to NEM for NEM’s reasonable pre-approval any and all Entitlement Sponsors. NEM shall be required to keep the identity of any such prospective Entitlement Sponsor prospect strictly confidential at all times, sharing the identity of any such prospective Entitlement Sponsor only with NEM or NASCAR personnel directly involved with the approval process, and provide such approval or disapproval in writing within three (3) business day after receipt by NEM of the submission by PROMOTER to NEM. NEM’s failure to respond shall be deemed an approval. PROMOTER shall make such submission in a timely fashion to NEM per Section 44, but not later than thirty (30) days prior to an Event unless PROMOTER’s agreement with such sponsor is only consummated within that time window. NEM confirms that only internal NEM or NASCAR personnel will be involved in the process of making the approval or disapproval determination. NEM’s approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld, and NEM further agrees that it will disapprove of a prospective Entitlement Sponsor only if such prospective Entitlement Sponsor’s brand has been tarnished by, controversy, crisis or circumstance such that its association with the Event or Events would damage the NASCAR brand or the image of the sport, or the Entitlement Sponsor’s brand would violate the network’s broadcast standards and practices or if, because, prospective sponsor’s brand has been tarnished by, controversy, crisis or circumstance it would damage the network’s ability to sell advertising for the live Event transmission(s).

Previously approved sponsors shall continue to be deemed approved, unless, in NEM’s sole reasonable discretion, the Entitlement Sponsor’s brand has become tarnished by, controversy, crisis or circumstance such that its association with an Event would damage the NASCAR brand or the image of the sport, or the continued use of the Entitlement Sponsor’s brand would violate the network’s broadcast standards and practices or if, because the existing sponsor’s brand has now become tarnished by, controversy, crisis or circumstance it would now damage the network’s ability to sell advertising for the live Event transmission(s).

NEM will work with all affected parties to mitigate the impact of a revocation of a previously approved Entitlement Sponsor including but not limited to, considering a modified sponsorship, considering the substitution of another brand owned by the Entitlement Sponsor, reconsidering the sponsorship at a time when the Entitlement Sponsor brand image has recovered or no longer violates the broadcaster’s standards and practices or damages their ability to sell advertising for the live Event transmission(s).

The parties acknowledge that sponsorship is an important part of the sport. If PROMOTER believes a prospective or previously approved Entitlement Sponsor was denied or disapproved in error, PROMOTER may request reconsideration within three (3) business days of denial of an Entitlement Sponsor. A committee comprised of the Vice Chairman of NASCAR, the Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Officer and at least one other NASCAR Vice President or Senior Vice President shall review the prospective sponsorship and within three (3) additional business days in good faith reconsider whether the sponsorship is acceptable or whether with some reasonable modification the sponsorship could be rendered acceptable. However, NASCAR’s determination, upon reconsideration, shall be final and in its sole reasonable discretion not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.

PROMOTER acknowledges that the sale or use, for advertising purposes, of space at the Facility or in any publications distributed in connection with an Event is an action that could have an impact upon the existing sponsorships described in Section 24 above, or on third parties who have entered into contracts or other agreements with NEM, NASCAR or NASCAR Rights Affiliates with respect to Live Transmission Rights or Ancillary Rights. PROMOTER shall seek written approval by NEM prior to such sale to or use by competitors of such sponsors or third parties, which NEM may provide or withhold in its sole discretion.

In addition to the foregoing, PROMOTER and NEM shall endeavor to protect the images and brands of NASCAR, PROMOTER and the broadcast network partner during each Event. This includes without limitation using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the removal of any images or content which are defamatory, obscene, or which NEM determines to be prejudicial or offensive to the general public under contemporary community standards, including but not limited to material that the broadcast network partner in good faith determines is inappropriate for exhibition to the viewing audience. PROMOTER shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Event, including the public attending the Event and any others within the confines of the racetrack itself, complies with the foregoing as well as any other reasonable requests of NEM. Without limiting the foregoing, this includes flags, banners, and/or signs that display symbols, slogans, language or imagery which NEM, in good faith, deems to be inappropriate.

26. National Program Package. PROMOTER shall participate in the NASCAR National Program Ad Package, including the rules and regulations relating thereto, if offered.

27. Strategy to Continue to Elevate the Events. As stated in the Recitals, PROMOTER and NEM are desirous of continuing to enhance and elevate the stature of the Series, as well as the individual events that are a part of the Series. Among other things, this includes how the Series is presented at each event, how events are perceived by fans and stakeholders, and how events individually and collectively measure up against comparable world-class sports events.

Event Standards. Accordingly, beginning as soon as feasible after the execution of this Agreement, PROMOTER and NEM will work together to develop an agreed-upon strategy to continue to elevate the Events under this Agreement during the Term including, but not limited to:

Establishing Series-wide and Event-specific criteria relative to:

the spectator fan experience;

ii)

those portions of the events experienced by remote viewers;

iii)

the promotion of the events;

iv)

and the stature of the events;

Establishing quantifiable processes for benchmarking and gauging the progress, success and compliance with the criteria;

Reviewing and updating the criteria on a routine basis, and as needed;

Determining appropriate methods for rectifying any shortfalls or deficiencies.

Page 19 of 26

Among other things, timely development of and PROMOTER conformance with the agreed-upon strategy will be a consideration regarding possible future sanctions after the Term.

Promoters Council. To help develop standards, strategies and tactics that enhance and elevate the stature of the Series, NEM will facilitate the creation of a Promoters Council which will meet periodically each year. Whether or not PROMOTER is selected to serve on the Promoters Council in one or more years during the Term, NEM nonetheless welcomes PROMOTER’s input on Series enhancements every year during the Term

TRANSMISSION RIGHTS

28. Ownership of Live Transmission Rights and Ancillary Rights. PROMOTER acknowledges that NASCAR, exclusively and in perpetuity owns the Live Transmission Rights and Ancillary Rights with respect to the Competitions. In addition, to the extent not already owned by NASCAR, PROMOTER hereby assigns to NEM exclusively and in perpetuity any and all rights to transmit, film, tape, capture, overhear, photograph, collect or record by any means, process, medium or device, whether or not currently in existence, all images, sounds and data arising from or during the Events and agrees that NEM shall further assign, exclusively and in perpetuity, to NASCAR all right, title and interest in and to the Live Transmission Rights and the Ancillary Rights and any other works, copyrightable or otherwise, created from the images, sounds and data arising from or during the Events, and that NASCAR shall be the sole and ultimate owner thereto. PROMOTER represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, it has not granted to any third party the rights granted in the immediately prior sentence, including but not limited to rights relating to the Internet or World Wide Web, unless otherwise expressly disclosed in writing to NEM prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. PROMOTER shall take all steps reasonably necessary, and all steps reasonably requested by NEM, to protect, perfect or effectuate NASCAR’s ownership or other interest in the rights that are the subject of this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, PROMOTER will include (a) the transmission rights language for tickets specified in Exhibit 5 of this Agreement on all Event admission materials including without limitation tickets, suite passes and credentials, and (b) the transmission rights language for ticket-related material specified in Exhibit 5 of this Agreement on all renewal forms, ticket brochures and related material distributed to recipients of such admission materials. PROMOTER may obtain from NEM or a NASCAR Rights Affiliate, without charge to the PROMOTER, images, sounds or data that are the subject of this Section, but only for the purpose of publicity, promotion or advertising of each Event, and only to the extent determined by NEM to be reasonably required for such purpose.

29. Exploitation of Live Transmission Rights and Ancillary Rights. NASCAR may, but shall not be obligated to, exploit Live Transmission Rights and Ancillary Rights. If and to the extent NASCAR decides to exploit such rights, it may form or cause to be formed one or more NASCAR Rights Affiliates and it may assign some or all of the rights owned by or granted to it pursuant to Section 28 to the extent determined by NASCAR to be reasonably necessary to permit such exploitation. NASCAR or such NASCAR Rights Affiliates may further assign, grant, sell, license, lease or otherwise transfer such rights, either alone or in combination with other similar rights, combine Live Transmission Rights and Ancillary Rights with other similar rights obtained from other promoters, Competitors, sponsors, NEM, transmitters, broadcasters or other third parties, enter into agreements of any kind with respect to any part or all of such rights, including without limitation agreements with or between NASCAR and other NASCAR Rights Affiliates, PROMOTER, or third parties, and generally take such action as they may determine to be appropriate. Subject only to the obligation imposed on NASCAR by the immediately succeeding sentence in this Section, NASCAR may license, assign, or otherwise transfer rights in or to any NASCAR Intellectual Property for a commercially reasonable rate to one or more NASCAR Rights Affiliates, but any income or revenue received or generated by NASCAR as a result of such a transaction shall be solely for the account of NASCAR or its assignee and shall not be subject to payment to the PROMOTER or any other person or entity under the terms of this Agreement. NASCAR shall license, assign, or otherwise transfer rights in or to any NASCAR Intellectual Property, without fee, to one or more NASCAR Rights Affiliates to the extent determined by such Affiliates to be reasonably necessary to permit them to exploit Live Transmission Rights.

Percentage for Live Transmission Income and Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and After Income Tax Provision. The percentage set forth in Exhibit 1 for Live Transmission Income and Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision was developed by NEM based upon the assumption that all scheduled NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Events in a given calendar year will take place and the PROMOTERS of all such Events during that year will be entitled to their respective percentage allocations. If one or more PROMOTERS are not entitled to Live Transmission Income and Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision during that year with respect to one or more Events pursuant to such PROMOTER’s Sanction Agreement(s) (for example, because a Competition was not commenced and officially completed) or if one or more events are added to the schedule for that calendar year, then this percentage for PROMOTER shall be recalculated by dividing it by the aggregate of the percentages attributed by NEM to all other NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events for which PROMOTERS are entitled to Live Transmission Income and Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision. PROMOTERS of all such Events will be entitled to their respective percentage allocations. In all cases, the percentages attributed by NEM to all NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events in a given calendar year shall be adjusted pro rata to equal a total of 100%. Notwithstanding the above, if PROMOTER’s share of Event Transmission Income is reduced due to a breach of Section 25 regarding Entitlement Sponsors, then the recalculation described above shall not apply to other Promoters.

30. Payment of Live Transmission Income. On or before ten (10) business days after each Event Date listed in Exhibit 1, NEM shall cause the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) engaged in the exploitation of Live Transmission Rights to pay, twenty-five percent (25%) of Event Transmission Income specific to that Event to Awards and Achievement Bureau, Inc., acting as Paying Agent, for distribution to the Competitors as part of the purse for that Event. On or before thirty (30) calendar days after that Event, NEM shall cause the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) to pay sixty-five percent (65%) of Event Transmission Income specific to that Event to PROMOTER. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

PROMOTER has no right to Event Transmission Income specific to that Event if the Competition is not commenced and officially completed (as determined in accordance with the Rule Book).

If, for any reason, the Live Transmission Income to be received by NEM or the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) is reduced in whole or in part, or if NEM or the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) becomes obligated to repay any portion of Live Transmission Income, the NASCAR Rights Affiliate’s obligation to make the payments otherwise required by this Section shall be reduced by an amount calculated by multiplying the reduction or repayment by the percentage set forth in Exhibit 1. If payment of the PROMOTER’s share of Live Transmission Income had been made to PROMOTER prior to the determination of a reduction in, or an obligation to repay a portion of, Live Transmission Income, then PROMOTER shall be obligated to repay NEM or the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) a prorated share in accordance with the percentage set forth in Exhibit 1 within thirty (30) calendar days after notification by NEM. If, for any reason, receipt of the Live Transmission Income to be received by NEM or the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) is delayed in whole or in part, the payments stipulated in this Section will correspondingly be delayed, but only to the extent of the original delay in receipt.

NASCAR shall receive the NASCAR Television Retention (ten percent (10%) of Event Transmission Income) for each Event for its own account.

31. Payment of Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision. NEM will cause the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) engaged in the exploitation of Ancillary Rights to distribute Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision as follows:

Timing. On or before April 30th following the end of the calendar year during which an Event is held, the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) shall determine the total amount of Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision, if any, earned by it during that calendar year. Within thirty (30) calendar days after such determination, the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) shall distribute such Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision (if any) pursuant to the formula set forth in subsection 31.b) below, provided that any losses from either ancillary rights category (Primary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision or Secondary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision) shall carry over from year to year against the same ancillary category and NEM shall have the right to withhold any future payments from such category of ancillary rights that would otherwise be due under this Agreement to recover PROMOTER’s share of such loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PROMOTER has no right to

Page 21 of 26

Event Primary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision or Event Secondary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision if there is an Event of Default giving rise to the termination of this sanction or the withholding of payments in accordance with Section 34, or if the Competition is not commenced and officially completed (as determined in accordance with the Rule Book), unless the sole reason that an Event is not commenced and officially completed is a strike, war, declaration of a state of national emergency, or an act of God or the public enemy or other circumstances beyond the control of PROMOTER.

Allocations:

Primary Ancillary Rights. The NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) shall pay: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of Primary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision relative to the specific calendar year to Awards & Achievement Bureau, Inc. for distribution in programs designed for the benefit of Competitors, as NEM may determine from time to time and (ii) sixty-five percent (65%) of Event Primary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision relative to the specific calendar year to PROMOTER. NASCAR shall receive the remaining ten percent (10%) of Primary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision relative to the specific calendar year for its own account.

ii)

Secondary Ancillary Rights. The NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) shall pay: (i) sixty percent (60%) of Secondary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision relative to the specific calendar year to Awards & Achievement Bureau, Inc. for distribution in programs designed for the benefit of Competitors, as NEM may determine from time to time and (ii) thirty percent (30%) of Event Secondary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision relative to the specific calendar year to PROMOTER. NASCAR shall receive the remaining ten percent (10%) of Secondary Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision relative to the specific calendar year for its own account.

32. Maintenance of and Access to Contracts and Other Books and Records. Each NASCAR Rights Affiliate will maintain for a period of four (4) years from the date of an Event (a) true and complete copies of any written Live Transmission Rights Contract relating to that Event and/or any Ancillary Rights Contract generating Event Primary Ancillary Rights Net Income or Event Secondary Ancillary Rights Net Income relative to that Event, (b) such books and records as are commercially reasonable for the purpose of auditing its Live Transmission Income and Net Ancillary Rights Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision earned during the calendar year in which an Event is held. Each NASCAR Rights Affiliate will permit PROMOTER or its authorized agent to inspect and audit any or all such contracts, books and records, wherever they may be located or at any other mutually agreeable location, but only upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times as determined by the NASCAR Rights Affiliate, and only at the business premises of the NASCAR Rights Affiliate where they are located, and subject at all times to Section 39 (relating to confidentiality and proprietary information).

33. Limitation of Liability. NASCAR and the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) shall be solely responsible for, and shall have complete discretion with respect to, the manner, extent and timing of any license, assignment, transfer or other use or exploitation of Live Transmission Rights and Ancillary Rights, either through independent third parties, NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) or otherwise. NASCAR, NEM, and the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) shall have no liability to PROMOTER with respect to such activities or the amount of Live Transmission Income or Ancillary Rights Net Income before Industry Expenses and after Income Tax Provision arising out of or generated by such activities. PROMOTER hereby promises and covenants not to assert any claim or file any suit or other legal action against NASCAR, NEM or any NASCAR Rights Affiliate on the ground that it or they have failed in any way, material or otherwise, to exploit, maximize or earn profits of any kind or amount with respect to Live Transmission Rights or Ancillary Rights.

Failure of PROMOTER to abide by the material provisions of this Agreement or the Rule Book;

Failure of PROMOTER to take such actions, or refrain from taking actions, as reasonably may be requested by NEM in accordance with this Agreement;

Any act, omission or condition expressly described in this Agreement as giving NEM the right to terminate this Agreement or the sanction granted by this Agreement;

A change, material or otherwise, in the ownership, control or management of PROMOTER;

Activity by PROMOTER of any kind, including without limitation litigation, that NEM determines to be detrimental to the sport, to NEM, or to NASCAR.

Failure to provide financial guarantees, if required, as follows: if NEM becomes aware, through any means, of a possible change in the PROMOTER’s affairs which might reasonably be determined to have a material adverse effect on the organization or conduct of one or more Events including, but not limited to, the withdrawal or reduction of major Event sponsorship(s), delinquencies or defaults by PROMOTER in payments to NEM or other entities, litigation relative to one or more Events, PROMOTER or the Facility, failure of PROMOTER to perform under similar agreements with NEM or third parties for other events, and so on, then NEM may require PROMOTER to take whatever action that NEM determines is necessary to insure the successful organization and conduct of one or more Events. Such action may include, but is not limited to, posting a bond, providing an irrevocable letter of credit, and/or providing a financial instrument or mechanism sufficient to guarantee, in NEM’s reasonable discretion, that all financial obligations of the PROMOTER relative to one or more Events can be met.

Any act, omission or condition expressly described in this Agreement as an Event of Default.

If there is an Event of Default, at its option NEM may demand that PROMOTER cure any failure or breach giving rise to the Event of Default or terminate this Agreement or the sanction granted by this Agreement, and/or NEM may withhold from any payments due to PROMOTER under this Agreement an amount reasonably calculated to hold harmless NASCAR, NEM, NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s), sponsors, Competitors, Officials, persons or entities contracting with NASCAR, NEM or NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s), with respect to Live Transmission Rights or Ancillary Rights, and other persons or entities involved in one or more Events, from any loss resulting from the Event of Default. NEM’s determination as to such amount is binding on PROMOTER. NEM shall notify PROMOTER in writing of its decision to terminate and/or to withhold payments. If this Agreement or the sanction granted by this Agreement is terminated, such termination shall be effective as of the date the notice was sent by NEM or at such later date as may be specified by NEM in the notice. PROMOTER shall promptly comply with all monetary obligations that have accrued as of the effective date of termination, and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive such termination. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit NEM’s or NASCAR’s other rights or remedies, or to preclude NEM or NASCAR from enforcing such rights or pursuing such remedies to the fullest extent possible.

35. Assignment. A party may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

Page 23 of 26

36. Determinations by NEM. Except where expressly stated otherwise, whenever this Agreement provides or permits NEM to make a determination regarding a matter, NEM may make such determination in its sole judgment and discretion, and such determination may not be challenged, amended, voided or nullified on the ground that it was incorrect or unreasonable.

37. Limited Application. This Agreement and the sanction granted herein relate solely to the Events and the dates set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement or, if applicable, to one or more Event dates adjusted or postponed by NEM in accordance with this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, or in the course of dealing between the parties, will be construed to require PROMOTER or NEM to enter into a sanction agreement or to issue a sanction for one or more Events or any other event in the future.

38. Disclaimer of Warranty. NEM (on behalf of itself, NASCAR, and each and every NASCAR Rights Affiliate, whether existing now or created hereafter) does not warrant, either expressly or by implication, nor is it responsible for, the financial or other success of any Event, the number or identity of sponsors, the number or identity of vehicles or Competitors participating in any Event, the adequacy of the services it provides, the suitability of the Facility for an Event, the safety of the public, the Competitors or any other person entering the Facility in connection with an Event, the financial return from the exploitation of Live Transmission Rights or Ancillary Rights, or any other matter not expressly agreed to or warranted by NEM herein.

39. Proprietary Information; Confidentiality. PROMOTER acknowledges that (i) this Agreement, (ii) any technical, business or financial information or documents used, provided or disclosed by NEM or any NASCAR Rights Affiliate in connection therewith or pursuant thereto, (iii) customer lists of any kind or nature used, provided or disclosed by NEM or any NASCAR Rights Affiliate, (iv) the manner in which NEM or any NASCAR Rights Affiliate engages in the exploitation of Live Transmission Rights or Ancillary Rights, (v) the manner in which NEM conducts and controls the Competitions, (vi) the manner in which NEM promotes the Events, the series of which an Event is a part, and the sport of stock car racing in general, and (vii) the manner in which NASCAR and/or NEM forms, promotes and maintains relationships with sponsors, Competitors, Officials, other promoters, fans and other third parties involved in an Event (collectively “NEM Proprietary Information”), constitutes information that is proprietary to NASCAR, NEM and/or the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) and may not be used by PROMOTER except in connection with the performance of PROMOTER’s duties under this Agreement. Except for that purpose, PROMOTER shall at all times and forever maintain NEM Proprietary Information in a confidential manner and shall not disclose it or use it on behalf of itself or any third party unless it is in the public domain as a result of an act or omission caused by a person or entity other than PROMOTER. PROMOTER acknowledges that any unauthorized use or disclosure of NEM Proprietary Information that is in violation of this Section, or other violation or threatened violation of this Section, could cause irreparable damage to NASCAR, NEM, and/or the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) and, therefore, that NASCAR, NEM, and/or the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) shall be entitled to an injunction prohibiting PROMOTER or any related party from engaging in such violation and to attorney’s fees and costs for having to bring any action to enforce this Section.

40. No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to place NASCAR, NEM, or NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) in the relationship of a partner or joint venturer with PROMOTER. Neither party may, or has power to, obligate or bind the other party in any manner other than as provided expressly in this Agreement.

41. Indemnification; Repayment. PROMOTER shall indemnify and hold NASCAR, NEM and all NASCAR Rights Affiliates and NEM additional insureds (as specified in subsection 20.a.) harmless from any and all claims, allegations, demands, obligations, suits, actions, causes of action, proceedings, rights, damages, and costs of any nature arising out of each Event or this Agreement, unless such claim, allegation, demand, obligation, suit, action, cause of action, proceeding, right, damage or cost arises solely out of the negligent act or negligent omission of NASCAR, NEM, or any NASCAR Rights Affiliate or any NEM additional insureds. With respect to any matter falling within the scope of PROMOTER’s obligation to defend and hold NASCAR, NEM, NEM additional insureds and the NASCAR Rights Affiliates harmless, NASCAR, NEM and the NASCAR Rights Affiliate and NEM additional insureds shall be entitled to select counsel to represent it in such matter at PROMOTER’s expense, and that counsel’s duties and obligations in all respects shall be solely to NASCAR, NEM, and to the NASCAR Rights Affiliate(s) and to the NEM additional insureds.

42. Recovery of Attorney’s Fees. In the event of litigation arising out of the enforcement of this Agreement or its terms and conditions, attorney’s fees and costs shall be awarded to the prevailing party.

Page 24 of 26

43. Representation Regarding Ownership of Facility.

PROMOTER represents and warrants that it is the direct owner or lessee of the material assets (other than real estate) of the Facility and no material assets (other than real estate) of the Facility are owned or leased through a subsidiary, affiliate, parent corporation, sister corporation or, in the case of an individual, a family member of the PROMOTER. In the event PROMOTER is not able to make such representations and warranties as set forth above, then that entity which can make such representations and warranties must execute the Guaranty Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 6.
