SECURITY AND ISSUER. This Statement concerns the common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, Inc. (the "Company"), whose principal executive offices are located at 3000 Pacific Avenue, Long Beach, California 90806. Effective August 11, 1997, Midwest Facility Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Midwest"), a wholly owned subsidiary of International Speedway Corporation ("ISC"), acquired 315,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 8, 1997 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), between Midwest and the Company a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT 1. In connection with such acquisition, Midwest also entered into (i) that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 8, 1997 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), between Midwest and the Company, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT 2, and (ii) that certain Right of First Refusal Agreement, dated as of August 8, 1997 (the "Right of First Refusal Agreement"), among Midwest, Penske Motorsports, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Penske") and the Shareholders listed on SCHEDULE I thereto, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT 3 (collectively, the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Right of First Refusal Agreement shall be refereed to as the "Transaction Documents"). The summary set forth below of certain aspects of the transactions described in the Transaction Documents do not purport to be a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the exhibits hereto, which are incorporated herein for all purposes. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND. (a) NAME. The persons filing this Statement include: (i) ISC (ii) Midwest The relationship among the above persons and entities is as follows: Midwest is the record holder of 315,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which are the subject of this filing. ISC owns directly all of the stock of Midwest. ISC and Midwest are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons". Each executive officer, director and controlling person of ISC and Midwest is a person identified pursuant to Instruction C to Schedule 13D and therefore the information required by Items 2 through 6 of this Statement is provided for such persons (all of whom are collectively referred to herein as the "Instruction C Individuals"). The controlling persons of ISC 4 include the France Family Group which owns, directly and/or beneficially, approximately 55% of the total of all classes of stock of ISC, which represents in excess of 60% of the votes represented by the total of all classes of stock of ISC. For additional information with respect to the France Family Group and the members thereof, see that certain Schedule 13G Statement filed with respect to the France Family Group's beneficial ownership of ISC Common Stock, dated as of February 14, 1997 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about February 18, 1997. The name of each Instruction C Individual other than the France Family Group (and the members thereof) is set forth on EXHIBIT 4 hereto. The relationship between the Reporting Persons and the Instruction C Individuals (including the France Family Group) does not create a group; consequently, the Instruction C Individuals disclaim membership in a group with respect to the Company. The relationship between the Reporting Persons, Penske and the other parties to the Right of First Refusal Agreement also does not create a group; consequently, the Reporting Persons disclaim membership in a group with such parties (the "Grand Prix Right of Refusal Parties"). Notwithstanding the disclaimers of group membership above, voting and dispositive power with respect to the 315,000 shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this Statement may be deemed to be shared among ISC and Midwest, as well as among the France Family Group, the Instruction C Individuals and the Grand Prix Right of Refusal Parties, primarily due to (i) the control of ISC by the France Family Group and the other Instruction C Individuals, (ii) the limitations on Midwest's transfer of Company Common Stock set forth in the Right of First Refusal Agreement, and (iii) the director voting provisions set forth in Article Five of the Right of First Refusal Agreement. See Item 5(b). (b) ADDRESS OF PRINCIPAL BUSINESS OFFICE OR, IF NONE, RESIDENCE. (i) The business address of ISC and Midwest is 1801 West International Speedway Boulevard, Daytona Beach, Florida 32114. (ii) The business address of each of the Instruction C Individuals (other than the France Family Group) is set forth on EXHIBIT 4 hereto. (c) THE PRINCIPAL BUSINESS. (i) The principal business of ISC is engaging in the operation, ownership and promotion of motorsports activities in the United States. (ii) The principal business of Midwest is investing in the Company and owning the Common Stock of the Company. 5 (iii) Each of the Instruction C Individuals' principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted (other than the France Family Group) is set forth on EXHIBIT 4. (d) CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS. Neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Instruction C Individuals has been convicted in a criminal proceeding during the last five years. (e) CIVIL PROCEEDINGS. Neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the Instruction C Individuals has been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violation of or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws during the last five years. (f) CITIZENSHIP. ISC and Midwest are Florida corporations. All of the Instruction C Individuals are citizens of the United States. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. The funds used to make the acquisition of securities which require the submission of this Statement came from the working capital of Midwest which in turn was provided by ISC from its working capital. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. The shares of Company Common Stock referred to in Item 5 below were acquired by the Reporting Persons to provide a significant equity investment in the Company. At the present time, but subject to the Reporting Persons' continuing evaluation of the factors noted below, it is intended that the Reporting Persons will retain such shares. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company shall cause the size of its Board of Directors to be increased by one and appoint one individual designated by Midwest as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Midwest's designee on the Company's Board may attempt to influence the operating and financial policies of the Company as part of the Reporting Persons' equity investment. Whether the Reporting Persons purchase or otherwise acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock, and the amount, method and timing of any such purchases or acquisitions, will depend upon the Reporting Persons' continuing assessment of pertinent factors, including, among other things: the limitations on 6 acquisitions and dispositions of Common Stock and other activities set forth in the Transaction Documents; the availability of such shares for purchase or acquisition at particular price levels or upon particular terms; the business and prospects of the Reporting Persons and the Company; other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; economic conditions; the attitude and actions of other shareholders of the Company; the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Common Stock; and other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons. Depending upon their assessment of these factors from time to time, the Reporting Persons may elect to acquire additional shares of Company Common Stock (by means of privately negotiated purchases of shares, market purchases, a tender offer, a merger or otherwise) or to dispose of some or all of the Common Stock. Other than as mentioned above, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of such persons, any of the Instruction C Individuals have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) The acquisition or disposition by any person of additional securities of the Company; (b) Any extraordinary corporate transactions, such as mergers, reorganizations or liquidations, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) A sale of transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) A change in the current board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) Any material change in the current capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) Any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) Changes in the Company's charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) Causing a class of the Company's securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) A class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to ss.12(g)(4) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) Any action similar to those enumerated above. 7 ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. (a) (i) The aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 315,000 shares of Company Common Stock, amounting to approximately 7.2% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, based on the representations and warranties of the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. (ii) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Instruction C Persons (including the France Family Group) beneficially owns any shares of Company Common Stock. (b) (i) Midwest and ISC may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the 315,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company subject to this Statement with the members of the France Family Group and the other Instruction C Individuals. See Item 1 above. However, each member of the France Family Group and each other Instruction C Individual disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares and this Statement shall not be deemed an admission that the France Family Group is the beneficial owner of such securities. (b) (ii) The Right of First Refusal Agreement contains certain provisions relating to (x) voting of shares of Common Stock for the election of directors of the Company, and (y) transfers of stock. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with Penske and the other Grand Prix Right of Refusal Parties. However, this Statement shall not be deemed an admission that any of the Grand Prix Right of Refusal Parties beneficially own any of the Common Stock held of record by Midwest. Moreover, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held of record by the Grand Prix Right of Refusal Parties. (c) Except as disclosed herein, there have been no transactions in the securities of the Company by the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, by the Instruction C Individuals during the past sixty days.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser does not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Purchaser's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, (ii) violate or breach any provision of, or constitute or result in a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default) under, or result in the imposition of any lien upon or the creation of a security interest in the assets, business or properties of the Purchaser pursuant to, any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed, license, franchise, permit, lease, contract or other agreement to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser or any of its assets is bound or subject, (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment or ruling of any court or governmental authority applicable to the Purchaser, (iv) violate any statute, law, rule or -4- regulation applicable to the Purchaser, or (v) require the Purchaser to obtain any waiver, consent, approval or authorization of, or make any filing with, any governmental authority, except such reports as may be required to be filed by the Purchaser with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the Purchaser and the Corporation agree to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all further actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or reasonably requested by the other to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 4.2 PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.

As used herein, the term (x) "Covered Period" shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earliest to occur of (i) the date four years after the date hereof, and (ii) the date Purchaser no longer owns at least 80% of the Shares acquired pursuant to this Agreement on the date hereof; and (y) "Excluded Stock" shall mean (i) securities issued upon exercise of options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof as disclosed in SCHEDULE 2(C) to this Agreement, (ii) shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to stock options or "Section 423" stock purchase rights (with per share exercise or purchase prices no less than 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant) that may be granted in the future pursuant to the Company's 1996 and 1993 stock option plans (as such plans are currently in effect), (iii) securities issued to Purchaser or Penske Motorsports, Inc. ("Penske") or any of their respective affiliates, (iv) shares of Common Stock issued in "private placement" transactions that constitute bona fide financings or acquisitions, if and only if, with respect to -5- this item (iv), (A) at least 50%-in-interest of the acquirors of such stock (the "New Shareholders") enter into agreements (in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) substantially the same as the Right of First Refusal Agreement (with the term of such agreement not to exceed the then remaining term of the Right of First Refusal Agreement), and (B) the identity of all of such New Shareholders is approved by the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed it being agreed that approval shall not be required with respect to (x) institutional investors, or (y) any other New Shareholder that would not be required to file or amend a Schedule 13D statement with respect to the Corporation by reason of its acquisition or ownership of Common Stock (a "Non-13D Filer"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon consummation of such a financing or acquisition where the Purchaser does not approve the Non-13D Filer (whether or not required), the Corporation shall be obligated to file a "shelf" resale registration statement with the Commission within 15 business days of the consummation of such financing or acquisition with respect to the potential public offering and sale of up to all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Purchaser unless a "shelf" resale registration statement is then in effect or on file with the Commission with respect to such shares of Common Stock owned by Purchaser, and (v) securities issued pursuant to stock dividends, stock splits, and similar "no sale" events that apply generally to all shares of outstanding Common Stock. 4.3 RIGHT TO NOMINATE DIRECTORS.

Each Purchaser designee elected to the Board of Directors shall be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall be given indemnification agreement protection, if any, by the Corporation in the same form as currently in effect for the Corporation's current directors. The Corporation agrees to provide each such Purchaser designee with the same compensation paid by the Corporation to its other outside directors and to reimburse the Purchaser's designee for out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with his or her attendance of Board meetings.

The Corporation shall during the Covered Period: (i) afford to the Purchaser and its agents and representatives reasonable access to the properties, books, records and other information of the Corporation, provided that such access shall be granted upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours in such a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with normal business operations; (ii) use its reasonable efforts to cause the Corporation's personnel, without unreasonable disruption of normal business operations, to assist the Purchaser in its investigation of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4.6; and (iii) furnish promptly to the Purchaser all information and documents concerning the business, assets, liabilities, properties and personnel of the Corporation as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request. In addition, from the date of this Agreement, the Corporation shall cause one or more of its officers to confer on a regular basis with officers of the Purchaser and to report on the general status of its ongoing operations. 4.7 SHARES.

Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, and notwithstanding Section 4.2 hereof, during the Covered Period, the Corporation shall not issue (or agree to issue) any shares of capital stock other than Excluded Stock. 4.10 STANDSTILL. Until the "Standstill Termination Date" (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser and its affiliates (which for purposes hereof shall not include Penske or any of its subsidiaries) will not, directly or indirectly, without the express permission of the Corporation's Board of Directors, (A) purchase or offer to purchase any of the Corporation's equity securities (or securities convertible into the Corporation's equity securities), (B) conduct a "proxy contest" to obtain control of the Corporation's Board, or (C) enter into any non-market transaction to sell Common Stock to any person or entity which does not agree in writing (in form reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) to be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Section 4.10; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing herein shall limit the right of the Purchaser and its affiliates to (i) purchase securities pursuant to, and exercise all other rights contemplated by, this Agreement and the "Right of First Refusal Agreement" being executed in connection herewith, (ii) purchase additional Common Stock that does not represent more than 5% of the Corporation's aggregate outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) except to the extent limited by the Right of First Refusal Agreement, vote shares and exercise rights as directors and/or (iv) if and only if Purchaser owns at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation's Common Stock by reason of (A) purchases pursuant to this Agreement on or about the date hereof, and (B) purchases pursuant to the Right of First Refusal Agreement, purchase additional Common Stock that, together with such purchases and purchases made pursuant to the preceding clause (ii), represents in the aggregate not more than 20.5% of the Corporation's aggregate outstanding shares of Common Stock (it being agreed that any purchases pursuant to this item (iv) shall reduce on a one-for-one basis the number of shares that Purchaser is entitled to purchase under the Right of First Refusal Agreement); PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the provisions of this Section 4.10 shall automatically terminate in full if (x) the Corporation enters into a merger, asset purchase, business combination or similar agreement pursuant to which the Corporation's shareholders would own less than fifty percent (50%) of the surviving corporation's capital stock, or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer commences for the Corporation's equity securities.

Pook no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation (unless within 120 days of the termination of Mr. Pook's service a successor is appointed who is approved by Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). -7- 4.11 BREACH OF REPRESENTATION REGARDING OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. The parties specifically agree that if the Corporation's representation regarding outstanding securities set forth in Section 2.3 hereof and the related SCHEDULE 2(C) is incorrect, then (x) the Corporation shall promptly file and use its reasonable best efforts to have declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter the shelf resale registration statement contemplated by Section 2 of the "Registration Rights Agreement" being executed in connection herewith, notwithstanding the time periods set forth therein, (y) the Purchaser shall have the option to purchase (at a per share exercise price equal to the per share Purchase Price paid pursuant to this Agreement) the number of shares equal to 50% of the excess (the "Total Shortfall Number"), if any, of (A) the "Actual Fully Diluted Shares" OVER (B) the "Disclosed Fully Diluted Shares," AND (iii) if and only if the fair market value of the Total Shortfall Number of shares of Common Stock (based on the "Then Fair Market Value") exceeds $250,000, the Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable by written notice within 60 days of the "Shortfall Discovery Date," to require the Corporation to purchase all or any specified number of the shares of Common Stock then held by Purchaser, at a price equal to the greater of (i) the Then Fair Market Value, and (ii) the per share Purchase Price paid pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) "Shortfall Discovery Date" means the first date that the Corporation or the Purchaser notifies the other of any misrepresentation in Section 2(c) hereof and provides a reasonable description thereof. Notwithstanding the above, the Total Shortfall Number shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock which become subject to and bound by the terms of the Right of First Refusal Agreement within twenty (20) business days subsequent to the earlier of (x) the Shortfall Discovery Date, and (y) the date that the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation had actual knowledge of the likelihood of a Total Shortfall Number.

SCHEDULE 2(f) CHANGE OF RACES DATES FROM MEMPHIS MOTORSPORTS PARK TO GATEWAY RACEWAY. The Corporation's recent decision to move the ARCA and USAC Silver Crown series events scheduled for September 13, and 14, 1997, from Memphis Motorsports Park to Gateway Raceway due to construction delays. WEATHER AND CONSTRUCTION DELAYS. Adverse weather conditions have caused delays and could cause future delays in construction at Gateway Raceway and/or Memphis Motorsports Park. Construction delays resulting from various other factors have or could have an Material Adverse Effect on the Corporation's ability to meet the deadlines necessary to host the major events scheduled in 1997 at Gateway Raceway and/or Memphis Motorsports Park. The Corporation's motorsports events could be adversely affected by weather patterns and seasonal weather changes. MANPOWER OVERLOAD AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT. The operation of the 1997 major events at Gateway Raceway and/or Memphis Motorsports Park placed substantial burdens on the Corporation's management resources and financial controls since the Corporation has never before promoted and/or operated more than three major events in one year. EFFECT OF SEASONALITY. The Corporation had very limited racing during the winter season and, accordingly, reported an operating loss during its first fiscal quarter. GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF SPONSORS. The Corporation derives a significant portion of its revenue each year from sponsorship and advertising by various companies, including tobacco and liquor companies. The impact of the recently settled litigation between various states' attorneys general and several large tobacco companies, as well as other tobacco litigation, could have a Material Adverse Effect. In addition, actions by certain liquor companies with respect to advertising could lead to additional regulation or otherwise may have a Material Adverse Effect. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. There may be undetected environmental contamination at the Corporation's Long Beach, Gateway Raceway or Memphis Motorsports Park properties. Present but undetected environmental contamination, as well as the conduct of the Corporation's business could have resulted in damage to persons or property or contamination of the environment by pollutants, substances, contaminants or wastes. The Corporation could have liability under California, Illinois or Tennessee statutes, or Federal law, including but not limited to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act for violations of environmental laws by the Company or by prior owners of its properties. LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURIES. Motorsports activities, construction and weather conditions have resulted in injuries to third parties including participants and spectators at the Corporation's facilities. If the Corporation is held liable for personal injuries beyond the scope of its insurance coverage, such liability could result in a Material Adverse Effect. SCHEDULE 2(h) Claim by former Chief Financial Officer for wrongful termination, as of the date hereof no lawsuit filed but counsel has been retained by such former chief financial officer and threatens to seek damages including punitive and attorneys fees. SCHEDULE 2(i) None. SCHEDULE 2(j) The Corporation obtained Phase I environmental reports on all properties it owns prior to the purchase thereof and knows of no presence of undetectable environmental hazards at any of those properties. Because Phase I reports do not include testing of soil, water or air or other types of samples, it is possible that there may be undetected environmental contamination at one or more of the Corporation's properties. In addition, the conduct of the Corporation's business may result in damage to persons or property or contamination of the environment by pollutants, substances, contaminants or wastes used, generated or disposed of by the Corporation (for example, gasoline used at the motorsports facilities). The Corporation could have liability under California, Illinois or Tennessee statutes, or Federal law, including but not limitied to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act for past violations of environmental laws by prior owners of those properties. SCHEDULE 2(k) L.H. Friend, Weinress, Frankson & Presson, Inc. compensation agreement pursuant to which the Corporation has agreed to compensate L. H. Friend etc. $50,000.00 for its services in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. EX-2 3 EXHIBIT 2 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into this 8th day of August, 1997, between GRAND PRIX ASSOCIATION OF LONG BEACH, INC., a California corporation (the "Company") and Midwest Facility Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Holder"). RECITALS A. The Company is contemporaneously issuing and delivering to Holder 315,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"). B. In connection with that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 8, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement"), between the Company and the Holder, the Company has agreed to provide to Holder certain registration rights with respect to the 315,000 shares of Common Stock issued to Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (such 315,000 shares of Common Stock being referred to herein as the "Restricted Shares"). AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the parties agree as follows: 1. INCIDENTAL (PIGGYBACK) REGISTRATION. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, if the Company at any time within three (3) years of the date hereof proposes to file on its behalf and/or on behalf of any of its security holders ("the demanding security holders") a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") on any form (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form for securities to be offered in a transaction of the type referred to in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or to employees of the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plan, respectively) for the general registration of any sale or resale of Common Stock or any other class of the Company's securities, it shall give written notice to the Holder at least 15 days before the initial filing with the Commission of such Registration Statement, which notice shall set forth the intended method of disposition of the securities proposed to be registered by the Company. The notice shall offer to include in such filing the aggregate number of shares of Restricted Shares as Holder may request. If Holder desire to have any offer and sale of Restricted Shares registered under this Section 1, it shall advise the Company in writing within 10 days after the date of receipt of such offer from the Company, setting forth the amount of such Restricted Shares for which registration is requested. The Company shall thereupon include in such filing the number of shares of Restricted Shares for which registration is so requested, subject to the following. In the event that the proposed registration by the Company is, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Restricted Shares in such underwriting unless Holder agrees to accept the offering on the same terms and conditions as the shares of Common Stock, if any, otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration. In each case all shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder which are not included in the underwritten public offering shall be withheld from the market by the Holder for a period, not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days, which the managing underwriter reasonably determines as necessary in order to effect the underwritten public offering. In the event the Company chooses a registration form which limits the size offering either in terms of the number of shares or dollar amount, the Company shall not be required to include in the offering (in addition to the number of shares to be sold by the Company) Restricted Shares which would exceed such limits. In no event shall the Company be required to provide the "piggyback" registration rights contemplated by this Section 1 in connection with the Company's filing, not later than September 30,1997, of a registration statement for the resale by Memphis International Motorsports, Inc. (or its permitted transferees) of the Common Stock issued or to be issued to it upon conversion of the Company's outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. 2. SHELF REGISTRATION Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, not later than June 30, 1998 the Company will file a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the "Shelf Registration Statement") covering the Holder's sale, from time to time or any time (in public sales, negotiated sales, or otherwise) up to all of the Restricted Shares and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable following such filing and to maintain such effectiveness for a period of at lease two (2) years from the effective date thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall have the right to prohibit the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, upon notice to the Holder if in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Company would thereby be required to disclose information not otherwise then required by law to be publicly disclosed, provided that the Company shall use its best efforts to minimize the period of time in which it shall prohibit the sale of any shares of Common Stock and in no event shall the prohibition on sales extend more than ten (10) calendar days or twenty (20) days in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1(b), to deliver any prospectus under the Shelf Registration Statement or to provide the "piggyback" registration rights contemplated by Section 1 hereof if the Holder owns less than 1% of the Company's outstanding shares and has owned the Restricted Shares at least a year. 3. EXPENSES. Subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3 and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the entire costs and expenses of the registrations and qualifications pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall be borne by the Company. Such costs and expenses shall include, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and of its accountants, all other costs, fees and expenses of the Company incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (including all expenses incident to filing with the NASD), the cost of furnishing copies of each preliminary prospectus, each final prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto to underwriters, dealers and other purchasers of the Restricted Shares and the costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the qualification of the Restricted Shares under the blue sky laws of various jurisdictions. The Company shall not, however, pay (x) any underwriting discount or commissions to the extent related to the sale of the Restricted Shares sold in any registration and qualification, (y) the fees and expenses of counsel or any other adviser(s) to the Holder, or (z) any stock transfer taxes payable by the Holder. 4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. (a) In the case of each registration or qualification pursuant to Sections 1 or 2, the Company will keep Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of proceedings for such registration and qualification and as to the completion thereof, and will advise any such holder, upon request, of the progress of such proceedings. (b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, at the Company's expense, the Company will keep each registration and qualification under this Agreement effective (and in compliance with the Securities Act) by such action as may be necessary or appropriate until the distribution contemplated thereby is completed, including, without limitation, the filing of post-effective amendments and supplements to any registration statement or prospectus necessary to keep the registration statement current and the further qualification under any applicable blue sky or other state securities laws to permit such sale or distribution, all as requested by Holder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that except as expressly provided in Section 2 hereof, the Company shall have no obligation to keep any registration statement current for more than 90 days after its initial effective date. The Company will immediately notify Holder pursuant to this Agreement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. 2 (c) In connection with all underwritten offerings, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to Holder a signed counterpart, addressed to Holder, of (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement, and (ii) a so-called "cold comfort" letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement, and such opinion of counsel and accountants' letter shall cover substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to underwriters in connection with underwritten public offerings of securities. (d) Without limiting any other provision hereof, in connection with any registration of the Restricted Shares under this Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Exchange Act"), and all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and will make generally available to its securities holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve months, beginning with the first month of the first fiscal quarter after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. (e) In connection with any registration of the Restricted Shares under this Agreement, the Company will provide, if appropriate, a transfer agent and registrar for the Restricted Shares not later than the effective date of such registration statement. (f) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, other than pursuant to a request made under Section 2 hereof, whether or not for sale for its own account, and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, then the Company will make reasonable efforts, if requested by Holder pursuant to Section 1 hereof, to arrange for such underwriters to include such Restricted Shares among the securities to be distributed by or through such underwriters. Holder shall be party to any such underwriting agreement, and (x) the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of Holder, and (y) the Holder shall make customary representations and agreements with respect to itself for the benefit of the underwriters and the Company. (g) In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement registering the Restricted Shares under this Agreement, the Company will give Holder and its underwriters, if any, and its counsel and accountants the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each of them such reasonable access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Holder or such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, each registration statement, prospectus, amendment, supplement or any other document filed with respect to a registration under this Agreement shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by Holder and by its counsel, which shall not be unreasonably delayed. (h) The Company will use reasonable efforts to list, on or prior to the effective date of each registration statement registering the Restricted Shares under this Agreement, all shares covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange on which any of the Common Stock is then listed, if any. (i) The Company will cooperate with Holder and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of securities subject to any registration hereunder and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers. 3 (j) The Company will use reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance by the SEC or any other governmental agency or court of a stop order, injunction or other order suspending the effectiveness of each registration statement registering the Restricted Shares under this Agreement and, if such an order is issued, use reasonable efforts to cause such order to be listed as promptly as practicable. (k) The Company will promptly notify Holder and each underwriter of the happening of any event, during the period of distribution, as a result of which any registration statement registering the Restricted Shares under this Agreement includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (in which case, the Company shall promptly provide Holder with revised or supplemental prospectuses and, if so requested by the Company in writing, Holder shall promptly take action to cease making any offers of the Common Stock until receipt and distribution of such revised or supplemental prospectuses). (l) To the extent required by law, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the securities to be sold by Holder under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as Holder shall reasonably request (provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to service of process), and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required of it to enable such holder to consummate the disposition in the jurisdiction of the securities covered by such registration statement. 5. PROVISION OF DOCUMENTS. The Company will, at the expense of the Company, furnish to Holder such number of registration statements, prospectuses, offering circulars and other documents incident to any registration or qualification referred to in Sections 1 or 2 as Holder from time to time may reasonably request. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event of any registration of any Restricted Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for Holder, each broker or any other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing persons, within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and reasonable costs of investigation) to which any of the foregoing persons, or such controlling person may be subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as any thereof arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) any registration statement under which such Restricted Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 1 or 2 hereof, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any other document incident to the registration of the Restricted Shares under the Securities Act or the qualification of the Restricted Shares under any state securities laws applicable to the Company, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any item referred to in the preceding clause (i) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act or any other federal or state securities law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration or qualification, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by Holder or by any underwriter for Holder expressly for use therein (with respect to which information Holder or underwriter shall so indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter for the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act). The Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters for any underwritten offering registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 1 or 2 hereof and with Holder pursuant to such offering, and such underwriting agreement shall contain customary provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution which shall, at a minimum, provide the indemnification set forth above. 7. CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to register the Restricted Shares of Holder if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to Holder, the sale or other disposition of 4 Holder's Restricted Shares may be effected without registering such Restricted Shares under the Securities Act. The Company's obligations under Section 1 or 2 are also expressly conditioned upon Holder furnishing to the Company in writing such information concerning Holder and their controlling persons and the terms of such Holder's proposed offering of Restricted Shares as the Company shall reasonably request for inclusion in the Registration Statement. 8. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) NOTICE GENERALLY. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, delivery or other communication hereunder to be made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be sufficiently given or made if in writing and either delivered in person with receipt acknowledged, delivered by reputable overnight courier, telecopied and confirmed separately in writing by a copy mailed as follows or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Such waiver shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such written instrument. Neither the exercise (from time to time and at any time) by a Party of, nor the delay or failure (at any time or for any period of time) to exercise, any right, power or remedy shall constitute a waiver of the right to exercise, or impair, limit or restrict the exercise of, such right, power or remedy or any other right, power or remedy at any time and from time to time thereafter. No waiver of any right, power or remedy of a Party shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right, power or remedy of such Party or shall, except to the extent so waived, impair, limit or restrict the exercise of such right, power or remedy.

Such Shareholder has the power and authority to execute this Agreement and perform such Shareholder's obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Shareholder and (assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by the Purchasers) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles. (b) NO BREACH. The execution, delivery and performance by such Shareholder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby: (i) do not and will not violate or conflict with any provision of law or regulation, or any writ, order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory authority specifically naming such Shareholder; and (ii) do not and will not, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in the breach of, or constitute a default, cause the acceleration of performance, permit the unilateral modification or termination of, or require any consent under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of such Shareholder pursuant to, any material instrument or agreement to which such Shareholder is a party or by which such Shareholder may be bound or affected, except in each case where the violation, breach, default, modification, termination, absence of consent or lien could not reasonably be expected to impair such Shareholder's timely and complete performance of his obligations hereunder. (c) OWNERSHIP. The Shareholder Shares set forth opposite such Shareholder's name on SCHEDULE 1, hereto are owned by such Shareholder, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, security interests, options or claims, including, without limitation, claims or rights under "buy-sell" or other shareholder agreements (other than this Agreement and other liens heretofore disclosed in writing to Purchasers). ARTICLE TWO RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED UPON THE TRANSFER OF STOCK BY THE SHAREHOLDERS 2.1 GENERAL PROHIBITION ON TRANSFERS. Except as is specifically permitted by the provisions of this ARTICLE TWO, the sale, assignment, pledge, gift, transfer or other disposition of any of Shareholder's "Stock" (as defined in Section 6.13 hereof), either directly or indirectly, to any person or entity, is prohibited. 2.2 PERMITTED TRANSFERS. The following transfers of Stock shall be permitted transfers which do not require the giving of a Notice of Right of First Refusal under Section 2.3 of this ARTICLE TWO. (a) TRANSFERS WITH CONSENT. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, a transfer or disposition of any kind or character otherwise prohibited by this ARTICLE TWO may be permitted if approved by each of the Purchasers. (b) TRANSFERS TO FAMILY MEMBERS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, each Shareholder shall be permitted to transfer (whether by purchase, assignment, gift, bequest, devise, levy, execution or other means of transfer) all or any portion of his or her Stock to (i) his or her spouse or any family members, (ii) any custodian, guardian or other representative for a spouse or family members, and/or (iii) the trustee of any trust created for the benefit of the Shareholder, his or her spouse and/or family members (collectively the "Permitted Family Transferees") provided that each and every such Permitted Family Transferee executes a written acknowledgment that (i) all Stock held by the Permitted Family Transferee will, notwithstanding the transfer to such Permitted Family Transferee, be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be owned by the transferring Shareholder, and (ii) the Permitted Family Trustee is to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement as if a signatory "Shareholder" hereto. (c) BONA FIDE PLEDGE. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, a Shareholder shall be entitled to make a bona fide pledge of his or her stock to a financial institution or broker in 2 connection with borrowing transactions (each a "Lender"); provided, however, that, as contemplated by Section 2.4 hereof, any transfer of Stock to the Lender pursuant to such arrangement, upon foreclosure or otherwise, shall be subject to the "Right of First Refusal" provisions of Sections 2.3 and 2.4 hereof. (d) TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, L.H. Friend, Weinress, Frankson & Presson, Inc. (the "Firm") shall be permitted to assign its warrant to purchase 31,250 shares of the Corporation's common stock to one or more officers and directors of the Firm ("Permitted Transferees") in the percentages the Firm shall deem fit, provided, however, that (i) notwithstanding such assignment, the warrant shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to be owned by the Firm, and (ii) each such Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if a signatory hereto. 2.3 TRANSFERS TO THIRD PARTIES. (a) NOTICE OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, and absent the right to make a transfer of Stock pursuant to Section 2.2, each Shareholder may transfer all or a portion of his or her Stock, subject in all respects to the following "right of first refusal" provisions of this Section 2.3. If any Shareholder (the "Selling Shareholder") desires to sell Stock on the market in a "broker's transaction" or to a party unrelated to the Selling Shareholder, the Selling Shareholder shall, not less than five (5) business days prior to the date of the proposed sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, deliver a Notice of Right of First Refusal to (x) the "Shareholders Representatives" (which shall mean Christopher R. Pook and/or Jim Michaelian, acting in such capacity, and/or their assigns, as applicable), and (y) each of the Purchasers, containing the following information: (i) the number of shares of Stock proposed to be so transferred (the "Offered Stock"); (ii) the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, including the identity of the proposed transferee(s), if not a "market transaction" and the cash consideration to be received therefor (the "Offered Terms"); and (iii) an affirmative offer made by the Selling Shareholder to transfer the Offered Stock to the Shareholders Representatives and the Purchasers at a price (the "Offer Price") equal to the total cash price in the proposed transfer for the Offered Stock as indicated in the Notice of Right of First Refusal (I.E., the number of shares multiplied by the per share-cash price, to be received for the shares of Stock to be transferred), it being agreed that, (x) without the prior written approval of each of the Purchasers, all transfers permitted by this Section 2.3 must be solely for consideration consisting of cash, and (y) the Offer Price for all broker's transactions shall be the weighted average sales price for the Common Stock on the date of delivery of the Notice of Right of First Refusal. The date that the Notice of Right of First Refusal is delivered to the Shareholders Representatives and the Purchasers shall constitute the First Refusal Notice Date. (b) PRIMARY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BY THE SHAREHOLDERS REPRESENTATIVES. Each of the Shareholders Representatives shall have the sole and exclusive option to acquire all or any specified portion of the shares of Stock offered for transfer in accordance with the provisions of the Notice of Right of First Refusal for a period of two (2) business days from the First Refusal Notice Date (the "Shareholder Exclusive Option Period"). The Shareholders Representatives may exercise such option by giving written notice of exercise to the Selling Shareholder and the Purchasers prior to the termination of the Shareholder Exclusive Option Period. Such notice of exercise shall refer to the Notice of Right of First Refusal and shall set forth the number of shares to be acquired by the Shareholders Representatives. The Shareholders Representative may assign their purchase rights under this Section 2.3 to any of the other Shareholders or to any other then current executive officer or director of 3 the Company who agrees in writing (in form reasonably acceptable to Purchasers) to be subject to and bound by the terms of this Agreement. (c) SECONDARY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BY THE PURCHASERS. In the event the Shareholders Representatives do not collectively elect to acquire all of the Offered Stock, the Purchasers shall have an exclusive option for three (3) business days after the expiration of the Shareholder Exclusive Option Period to acquire all or any portion of the Offered Stock not acquired by the Shareholders Representatives. The Purchasers may, by agreement, allocate between themselves the right to acquire such part of the Offered Stock that will not be acquired by the Shareholders Representatives. In the absence of such an agreement, each Purchaser will be entitled to give written notice to the Selling Shareholder (the "Purchase Notice"), within such three business day period, of such Purchaser's election to acquire all or any part of such Offered Stock that is not being acquired by the Other Shareholders ("Excess Offered Stock"). If the Purchasers' offers to purchase exceed the amount of Excess Offered Stock, the option to acquire such Stock shall be allocated between the Purchasers as follows: (i) Each Purchaser shall be absolutely entitled to acquire the number of shares of Excess Offered Stock that is equal to or less than its proportionate part of such Excess Offered Stock, based upon the number of shares owned by each Purchaser; (ii) Each Purchaser electing to acquire more than its proportionate part of the Excess Offered Stock under the previous allocation step may acquire the remainder of the Excess Offered Stock which is not previously allocated to the other Purchaser (I.E., because the other Purchaser did not elect to acquire its entire ratable portion under the preceding allocation step); (d) REQUIREMENT TO PURCHASE ALL OFFERED STOCK. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Section 2.3(b), the option to purchase shares of Stock described in a Notice of Right of First Refusal that describes a proposed non-market transaction may be exercised and the Closing (as hereinafter defined) consummated only if the Shareholders Representatives and the Purchasers collectively agree to purchase all of the shares of the Offered Stock. (e) CLOSING AND TENDER REQUIREMENTS. The consummation of any transfer required pursuant to an exercise of option rights created by this ARTICLE TWO shall constitute the "Closing", and the time and date of such Closing shall constitute the "Closing Date." The Closing shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, at 10:00 a.m. on or before the 25th day subsequent to the delivery of the final Purchase Notice, and if the Closing Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the Closing Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding regular business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. At the Closing, the Selling Shareholder shall present to the acquiring Shareholders and/or Purchaser(s), or cause the Transfer Agent to, or the Corporation, as the case may be, all share certificates for Stock required to be sold in proper form for transfer. Such Stock shall be transferred free of all liens and encumbrances or adverse claims of any kind or character created by the Selling Shareholder. At the Closing, the acquiring Shareholders and/or Purchaser(s), upon receipt of proper tender of the Stock, shall tender full payment of the Offer Price in conformity with the Offered Terms as set forth in the Notice of Right of First Refusal. (f) PERMITTED TRANSFER FOLLOWING RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If all of the Stock identified in the Notice of Right of First Refusal is not elected to be purchased in the five business day time period specified above or, if so elected, is not purchased as required on or prior to the 25th day subsequent to the delivery of the final Purchase Notice (it being agreed that the Purchasers shall be entitled to purchase all of the remaining Offered Shares to be acquired by the Shareholders Representatives if and to the extent that Purchasers are not provided, at least three business days prior to the Closing Date, with reasonable evidence that the Shareholders Representatives have deposited in escrow the full cash purchase price the Common Stock to be acquired by them or otherwise established a reasonably 4 acceptable guarantee of payment therefor), then all of such Stock (including any Stock for which a proper tender was made) may be transferred by the Selling Shareholder at any time during the ensuing 30 days (10 days in the case of a market transaction) at any price (in the case of a market transaction) or, in the case of a non-market transaction, in strict conformity with the Offered Terms (or on terms more favorable to the Selling Shareholder) set forth in the Notice of Right of First Refusal (it being agreed that the identity of any purchaser in a non-market transaction may not be changed without submission of a new Notice of Right of First Refusal). Nothing herein shall limit the rights of any Selling Shareholder, the Shareholders Representatives or either Purchaser relating to any breach by any other party hereto. 2.4 TRANSFERS INCLUDE FORECLOSURE. For purposes of this ARTICLE TWO, a transfer of Stock by a Shareholder shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, any transfer of legal or beneficial ownership by reason of foreclosure under any pledge, hypothecation or similar credit transactions (in which case the 25 day closing period contemplated by Section 2.3(e) shall be reduced to ten (10) business days). 2.5 COMPLIANCE. Absent the right to make a transfer of Stock pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof, any transfer described in this ARTICLE TWO of a Shareholder's Stock without complying with the giving of a Notice of Right of First Refusal shall be void, and the Corporation shall have the right to issue a Notice of Right of First Refusal upon discovery of such transfer, a copy of which shall be sent to the person making such transfer and his or her transferee. Upon the giving of the Notice of Right of First Refusal, the time periods for the exercise of the options specified in Section 2.3 shall commence running.

If either of the Purchasers (the "Selling 5 Purchaser") desires to sell Purchased Shares on the market or to a party unrelated to such Purchaser in a "non-market" sale, the Selling Purchaser shall not less than five (5) business days prior to the date of the proposed sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, deliver to the Other Purchaser and the Corporation a "Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal" containing the following information: (i) the number of shares of Purchased Shares proposed to be so transferred (the "Purchaser Offered Stock"); (ii) the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, including the identity of the proposed transferee(s) and the per share price to be charged (if any) for the Purchased Shares to be transferred and the cash consideration to be received therefor (the "Purchaser Offered Terms"); and (iii) an affirmative offer made by the Selling Purchaser to transfer the Offered Stock to the Other Purchaser and, after the Exclusive Option Period (as hereinafter defined), to the Corporation at a price (the "Purchaser Offer Price") equal to the total cash price in the proposed transfer for the Purchaser Offered Stock as indicated in the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal (I.E., the number of shares multiplied by the per share price, if any, to be charged for the shares of Stock to be transferred), it being agreed that, (x) without the prior written approval of the Other Purchaser all transfers permitted by this Section 3.3 must be solely for consideration consisting of cash or cash equivalents, and (y) the Purchase Offer Price for all broker's transactions shall be the weighted average sales price for the Common Stock on the date of delivery of the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal. The date that the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal is delivered to the Purchasers Representatives and the Corporation shall constitute the Purchaser First Refusal Notice Date. (b) PRIMARY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BY THE PURCHASERS REPRESENTATIVES. The Other Purchaser shall have the sole and exclusive option to acquire all or any portion of the Purchased Shares offered by the Selling Shareholder for transfer in accordance with the provisions of the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal for a period of five (5) business days from the Purchaser First Refusal Notice Date (the "Purchaser Exclusive Option Period"). The Other Purchaser may exercise such option by giving written notice of exercise to the Selling Purchaser prior to the termination of its Exclusive Option Period. Such notice of exercise shall refer to the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal and shall set forth the number of Purchased Shares to be acquired by the Other Purchaser. (c) SECONDARY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL BY THE CORPORATION. The Corporation shall have an exclusive option for two (2) business days after the expiration of the Purchaser Exclusive Option Period to acquire all of the Offered Stock that will not be acquired by the Other Purchaser. The Corporation may assign its purchase rights under this Section 3.3 to any or all of the Shareholders or to any other current executive officer or director of the Company who agrees in writing (in form reasonably acceptable to Purchasers) to be subject to and bound by the terms of this Agreement). (d) REQUIREMENT TO PURCHASE ALL OFFERED STOCK. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Section 3.3(b), the option to purchase the Purchased Shares described in a Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal that describes a proposed non-market transaction may be exercised and the Purchaser Closing (as hereinafter defined) consummated only if the Corporation and/or the Other Purchaser collectively agree to purchase all of the shares of the Purchaser Offered Stock. (e) CLOSING AND TENDER REQUIREMENTS. The consummation of any transfer required pursuant to an exercise of option rights created by this ARTICLE THREE shall constitute the "Purchaser Closing", and the time and date of such Closing shall constitute the "Purchaser Closing Date." The Purchase Closing shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, at 10:00 a.m. on or before the 25th day subsequent to the expiration of the Purchaser Exclusive Option Period and if the Closing Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the Purchase Closing Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding regular business day following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. At the Purchaser 6 Closing, the Selling Purchaser shall present to the Corporation and/or the Other Purchaser, as the case may be, all share certificates for the Purchased Shares required to be sold in proper form for transfer. Such Purchased Shares shall be transferred free of all liens and encumbrances or adverse claims of any kind or character. At the Purchaser Closing, the Corporation and/or the Other Purchaser, as the case may be, upon receipt of proper tender of the Purchased Shares, shall tender full payment of the Purchaser Offer Price in conformity with the Purchaser Offered Terms as set forth in the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal. (f) PERMITTED TRANSFER FOLLOWING RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If all of the Purchased Shares identified in the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal are not purchased by the Corporation and/or the Other Purchaser prior to the 25th day subsequent to the expiration of the Purchaser Exclusive Option Period, then all of such Purchased Shares (including any shares for which a proper tender was made) may be transferred by the Selling Purchaser at any time during the ensuing 30 days (10 days in the case of a market transaction) at any price (in the case of a market transaction) or, in the case of a non-market transaction, in strict conformity with the Purchaser Offered Terms (or on terms more favorable to the Selling Purchaser) set forth in the Purchaser Notice of Right of First Refusal.

The right to own and vote capital stock of the Corporation is hereby declared by the parties hereto to be a unique right, the loss of which is not susceptible to monetary quantification.
