owned exclusively by RMST, and no rights or interests therein are hereby

a right of first negotiation to produce the Promotional Work, in the event that
RMST intends to engage an outside producer to produce the same. Such right of
first negotiation is for a period of not less than 30 days, commencing on the
date that RMST first notifies Discovery that it intends to cause the production
of the Promotional Work, and during such period RMST shall negotiate exclusively
and in good faith with Discovery. If Discovery and RMST shall agree on terms in
respect of such reel, and if RMST shall thereafter fail to enter into an
agreement with Discovery with respect thereto, but shall instead reach agreement
with a different media company on the same or less favorable terms (for RMST) as
those agreed to with Discovery, RMST has agreed it shall permit Discovery the
right to once again negotiate (for a period of 10 days) to produce the
Promotional Work on such terms. Tropicana hereby acknowledges that the above
agreements with Discovery are acceptable.
