Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of Section 7 above shall survive any termination, for whatever reason, of Employee’s employment under this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 7 the following terms have the following meanings:

     “Good Reason” shall mean: (a) without the written consent of Employee, the assignment to Employee of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with Employee’s position (including status, offices, and titles) authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect on the Effective Date, or any other action by Employer which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by Employer promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Employee; (b) a reduction by Employer of Employee’s Annual Salary as in effect on the Effective Date or as the same may be increased from time to time; (c) any breach by Employer of any of the material terms of, or the failure to perform any material covenant

contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the failure by Employer to fulfill all of its obligations as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and following written notice thereof from Employee to Employer, Employer does not cure such breach or failure within thirty (30) days thereafter; provided, however, that Employer will not be entitled to cure any such breach or failure more than one time in any consecutive three month period; (d) Employer’s requiring Employee, without his consent, to be based at, or to regularly work from, any office or location other than in the Daytona Beach, Florida region; or (e) Employee’s termination for any reason within ninety (90) days following a Change in Control of Employer as defined in Exhibit A. Employee’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason hereunder.

     “Excessive Absence” of Employee shall mean his inability to perform his essential duties under this Agreement due to unexcused absence (other than any failure resulting from Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or injury, and specifically excluding any failure by Employee, after reasonable efforts, to meet performance expectations) for a continuous period of 60 days or for 120 days out of a continuous period of 240 days.

     “Just Cause” shall mean (a) the willful and continued failure of Employee to substantially perform his Duties under this Agreement (other than any failure resulting from Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and specifically excluding any failure by Employee, after reasonable efforts, to meet performance expectations), provided that Employee does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days following written notice thereof from Employer setting forth the specific grounds upon which Employer maintains a failure to perform has arisen under this subsection; (b) the material breach by Employee of any of the terms of this Agreement, or the willful and continued failure to perform any material covenant contained in this Agreement, provided that Employee does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notice from Employer setting forth the specific grounds upon which Employer maintains a breach or failure to perform has occurred; or (c) Employee’s conviction of felony under state or federal law involving dishonestly, fraud, or malfeasance in the performance of his Duties. For the purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act on the part of Employee shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Employee in bad faith or without the reasonable belief that Employee’s action or omission was in the best interest of Employer. Any act or omission based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or based upon the advice of counsel for the Employer shall be conclusively determined to have been done, or omitted to be done, by Employee in good faith and in the best interest of Employer. The cessation of employment of Employee shall not be deemed to be for Just Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board of the Company (excluding Employee, if Employee is a member of the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of such Board, Employee is guilty of the conduct described above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Such finding shall be effective to terminate Employee’s employment for Just Cause only

if Employee was provided reasonable notice of the proposed action and was given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard by the Board.

     8. Remedies. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that in the event of any default in, or breach of any of, the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement (either actual or threatened) by Employee, Employer’s and its affiliates remedies at law shall be inadequate. Accordingly, Employee agrees that in such event, Employer and its affiliates shall have the right of specific performance and/or injunctive relief in addition to any and all other remedies and rights at law, in equity or provided herein, and such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

     9. Arbitration. Any claim or dispute arising under this Agreement shall be subject to arbitration, and prior to commencing any court action, the parties agree that they shall arbitrate all controversies. The arbitration shall be conducted in Daytona Beach, Florida, in accordance with the Employment Dispute Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (though the parties may choose an arbitrator outside the AAA) and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et. seq. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award both liquidated and actual damages, in addition to injunctive relief, but not punitive damages. The arbitrator(s) may also award attorney’s fees and costs, without regard to any restriction on the amount of such award under Florida or other applicable law. Such an award shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto, subject to 9 U.S.C. §10. Each party shall have the right to have the award made the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

     10. Acknowledgments. Employer and Employee acknowledge and recognize that the enforcement of any of the provisions set forth in Section 6 above will not interfere with Employer’s Business or Employee’s ability to pursue a proper livelihood. Employer and Employee recognize and agree that the enforcement of this Agreement is necessary to ensure the preservation and continuity of the business and good will of Employer and its affiliates and Employee’s livelihood.

The Board of Directors, in conjunction with and under the advisement of Employer’s Executive Management Team, shall create and ratify an Executive Incentive Compensation Plan no later than June 30, 2006 for FY 2006. Should the Board of Directors not ratify such a plan by June 30, 2006, said Employee shall be entitled to a bonus of $180,000 payable July 1, 2006.

Employee’s Discretionary Bonus Review shall always be preceded by a formal review by the CEO of Employee’s overall performance for the period since the last review. The factors to be considered are as follows:

	a.		Employee’s ability to execute against strategic business objectives
	b.		Leadership, work ethic, and the sum of intangible contributions to the success of DIRT Motor Sports

Employee shall be reviewed and awarded discretionary bonuses on an independent basis, apart from other Officers in Employer, regardless of how closely other aspects of their compensation may be tied.
