Mexico City Promoter Agreement
Final Contract
D. References in this Agreement to "FedEx" shall be to Federal
Express Corporation, and/or (where applicable) any successor
or additional Series title or co-title sponsor.
1. A. Subject to compliance with all the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Organizer/Promoter shall organize,
promote and conduct a FedEx Championship Series race
Competition at the location set forth above in the following
year(s): 2002-2006. CART acknowledges and agrees that the
right to organize, promote and conduct a FedEx Championship
Series Race Competition at the above location is exclusive to
Organizer/Promoter during the term of this Agreement and that
Organizer/Promoter shall have exclusive rights to a race in
Mexico within a geographic area of a 400 mile radius from the
racetrack facility listed above.
B. Organizer/Promoter and CART will mutually agree as to the date
for each race hereunder, which shall be scheduled during the
months of September, October, or November for the duration of
this Agreement. The parties agree not to schedule the 2002
Event before October, 2002. It is the intention of the parties
to schedule the two Mexican races in such a manner as one will
be toward the beginning of the CART season, and one will be
toward the end of the CART season each year. The parties agree
that they will exercise reasonable efforts to schedule the
races under this Agreement during the same weekend each year
and acknowledge the desirability of such date equity. If,
however, due to television and scheduling conflicts, in CART's
sole discretion it becomes necessary to schedule a race for a
different weekend, CART will exercise reasonable efforts to
notify Organizer/Promoter of such intention at the earliest
possible time.
C. Organizer/Promoter agrees not to organize, promote, conduct,
authorize or permit the staging of any other major motor
racing event(s) at the track(s) designated hereinabove,
without the written approval of CART, within the following
period of time either preceding or following any Competition
hereunder: two (2) weeks.
D. It is the intention of both CART and Organizer/Promoter to
establish a long-term relationship with a view to gaining the
greatest possible benefits for CART and Organizer/Promoter.
Therefore, provided Organizer/ Promoter is not in breach of
any provision of this Agreement, CART and Organizer/Promoter
shall commence good faith negotiations with a view to mutually
agree on terms and
2
Mexico City Promoter Agreement
Final Contract
conditions for the extension of this Agreement beyond the
Events covered hereunder. Such negotiations shall commence on
or about six (6) months following the 2004 Event and shall
continue on an exclusive basis for a period of six (6) months.
Organizer/Promoter is hereby granted a right to match any
offer received by a third party for the race in Mexico City
following the expiration of the exclusive period of
negotiation provided for herein.
E. In addition to the annual FedEx Championship Series
Competition to be conducted by Organizer/Promoter, the other
races to be held during each Event may include up to two (2)
support races to be provided by CART, at CART's sole
discretion and expense with no increase in the Organization
and Rights Fees from Organizer/Promoter.
F. In the event that the parties mutually agree that a third race
is to be conducted and sanctioned by CART in Mexico,
Organizer/Promoter is hereby granted a right of first
negotiation during the term of this Agreement. If the race
currently held in Monterey, Mexico is dropped from the CART
schedule, Organizer/Promoter shall have the right of first
negotiation to continue such race on terms to be mutually
agreed upon between the parties.
2. The total Organization and Rights Fee and Management Fee payable for
each of the 2002-2006 Competitions shall be Four Million ($4,000,000)
Dollars, which is comprised of two parts. The two parts are an
Organization and Rights Fee for each Competition of Two Million
($2,000,000.00) Dollars per annual race and a Management Fee for each
Competition of Two Million ($2,000,000.00) Dollars per annual race.
These amounts shall be paid to CART as follows:

paid January 10 of each year.

the remaining Management Fee, or Four Hundred Fifty Thousand

the date of each race.
C. Thirty-five (35%) percent of the remaining Organization and
Rights Fee and Management Fee, or One Million Fifty Thousand
($1,050,000.00) Dollars not later than three (3) months prior

Mexico City Promoter Agreement
Final Contract
D. The balance due of One Million Five Hundred Thousand
($1,500,000.00) Dollars not later than thirty (30) days prior
to the date of each race.
3. Organizer/Promoter expressly understands and agrees that said
Organization and Rights Fees are intended to be net and are
non-refundable except as expressly provided in this Agreement. If said
Organization and Rights Fees are not paid to CART in the manner and by
the time provided above, CART shall have the option to declare this
Agreement terminated after a fourteen (14) day notice of
default/opportunity to cure, in which circumstance CART will be
relieved from any further liability or responsibility hereunder, and in
addition, Organizer/Promoter shall forthwith pay to CART and CART shall
be entitled to enforce collection of the total amount required under
this Agreement for the Competition for which such fees are not paid and
for the following year's Competition as liquidated damages, together
with all costs incurred by CART in connection therewith, including
reasonable attorney fees, and interest at the rate of prime plus three
(3%) percent per annum. Upon receipt in full of the amounts specified
in this Paragraph 3, CART acknowledges that the receipt of said sums
shall be CART's sole and exclusive remedy in the event CART terminates
this Agreement as provided in this Paragraph 3. Organizer/Promoter will
withhold any local or jurisdictional taxes required by law, but shall
cooperate fully with CART by complying with all reasonable requests of
CART in order to help CART to obtain a full foreign tax credit for CART
for such withheld amount. In the event that either the U.S. or Mexican
tax laws change during the term of this Agreement, the parties agree to
negotiate in good faith for the amount of withholding. In no event will
Organizer/Promoter be responsible for any taxes imposed by any taxing
authority on the income of CART.
4. Organizer/Promoter shall not be responsible for funding, paying or
distributing any award, purse or other compensation to any Event
participant. CART must approve any and all awards given in conjunction
with a Competition and/or for the FedEx Championship Series or any
other CART sanctioned activity. Organizer/Promoter agrees to provide
driver and owner trophies in recognition and representative of the
achievements of at least the first three (3) finishing positions in
each Competition.
5. A. CART shall be responsible for providing not less than twenty
(20) entrants for each Competition. If CART is unable to
provide twenty
4
Mexico City Promoter Agreement
Final Contract
(20) entrants for any Competition but has at least sixteen
(16) cars for that Competition, and Organizer/Promoter has not
exercised its option to cancel as set forth below, the
Organization and Rights Fee shall be reduced by $200,000 for
each car under twenty (20) but over fifteen (15). If CART is
unable to provide twenty (20) entrants for any Competition,
Organizer/Promoter shall have the option to cancel such
Competition, providing that Organizer/Promoter first informs
CART in writing of such intent, and provided further that
twenty (20) entries have not been received within seven (7)
days after receipt by CART of such notice. If
Organizer/Promoter under these circumstances exercises this
cancellation right, CART will reimburse Organizer/Promoter for
the portion of the Organization and Rights Fee theretofore
paid for such Competition.
B. Either party hereto shall have the right to cancel a
Competition due to a "force majeure" which makes it impossible
to hold a competition. "Force majeure" shall mean any event or
circumstances (whether arising from natural causes, human or
governmental agency or otherwise) beyond the control of the
parties including by way of illustration, but not by way of
limitation, strikes, lock-outs or other labor disputes, civil
strife, war, flood, fire, or acts of God. A force majeure
shall not be deemed to have occurred by reason of commercial
impracticability, increased financial cost, or temporary
adverse weather conditions. If there is an unexpected
cancellation due to a "force majeure" declared by the
Organizer/Promoter, Organizer/Promoter will be entitled to the
return of the portion of the Organization and Rights Fee
theretofore paid, except that Organizer/Promoter agrees that
CART may retain a sum equivalent to the necessary expenses
reasonably incurred by CART and its teams in preparing for
such Competition, provided, however, that where CART receives
not less than ten (10) business days notice of such unexpected
cancellation, the parties acknowledge that such expenses will
be primarily limited to actual CART and team out-of-pocket,
non-refundable expenditures, i.e., hotel deposits, airline
ticketing, car rental, other ground transportation
arrangements, etc., which expenses shall be mutually agreed by
the parties provided, however, that if the parties are unable
to agree informally as to the amount of such expenses, such
dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and the
result of such arbitration shall be enforceable by any court
having jurisdiction. In the event that a force majeure is
declared by CART, Organizer/Promoter shall be entitled only to
a refund of the Organization and Rights Fee, without any
expense or other additions.

C. If Organizer/Promoter cancels or fails to stage a Competition
for any reason other than those mentioned within this
Paragraph 5, Organizer/Promoter shall forthwith pay to CART
and CART shall be entitled to enforce collection of the total
amount required under this Agreement for the Competition that
was not held and the following year's Competition as
liquidated damages, together with all costs incurred by CART
in connection therewith, including reasonable attorney fees,
and interest at the rate of prime plus three(3%) percent per
annum. Upon receipt in full of the amounts specified in this
Paragraph 5C, CART acknowledges that the receipt of said sums
shall be CART's sole and exclusive remedy in the event
Organizer/Promoter cancels or fails to stage a Competition.
6. Except as expressly provided herein, Organizer/Promoter owns and shall
have exclusive control over all commercial rights to each Event
including by way of illustration, but not by way of limitation, the

facilities, expositions, displays, parking spaces, banquets and
licenses to parades, excluding the CART Transporter Parade.

discretion, provide marketing and promotion of the Events in accordance
with the standards it has set at Organizer/Promoter's cost.
C. Notwithstanding the above, CART will market the Fed Ex Championship
Series in accordance with its overall marketing plan that will include,
on a series-wide basis or, in its sole discretion, Event-specific

Mexico City Promoter Agreement
Final Contract
that marketing programs may be conducted on a joint basis and that
costs for these programs will be divided upon mutually agreed upon
terms, with CART providing at least One Hundred Thousand ($100,000)
Dollars each year of this Agreement for such programs. In the event
that the majority of Organizer/Promoters of other CART events are
provided with co-promotion marketing funds, Organizer/Promoter shall
receive the same amount as the average of that provided to the
Organizer/Promoters of other CART events, in addition to at least One
Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars for the joint marketing programs.
8. Organizer/Promoter shall organize and promote the races hereunder as
major motor racing events. Organizer/Promoter shall have the right to
on-site track entitlement, and revenues therefrom. On-site entitlement
is to designate the title/name of the Champ Car race and all CART
sanctioned support activities at the venue, subject to CART approval
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such title sponsorships must
not conflict with CART Series sponsors (presently FedEx) or co-Series
sponsors with a conflict existing if the conflicting sponsorships
involve entities whose primary and substantial business activities and
focuses compete with one another. The parties agree that during the
term of this Agreement, future CART Series Title or co-Title
sponsorships will not be sold in the following categories without the
mutual consent of the parties: Car, oil and gas, tires, telephone
(local wireless and long distance), tobacco, beer, and soft drinks. All
media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by either
party or its employees or agents relating to this Agreement, including
but not limited to promotional or marketing material, but not including

party or any disclosure required by legal, accounting or regulatory
requirements beyond the reasonable control of the disclosing party,
shall be coordinated with and approved by the other in writing prior to
the release thereof.

notifying Organizer/ Promoter in writing, upon a five (5) day

circumstances of the default mandate a more immediate cure, or
do not warrant any cure period. CART shall notify Organizer/
Promoter in writing of any alleged default and
Organizer/Promoter shall have five (5) days after receipt of
such notice to cure the default, provided, however, if the
nature of the default is such that it cannot reasonably be

ADDITIONAL INTERNATIONAL BOOTHS:
All reasonable costs, subject to
competitive bidding, associated
with the construction and provision
of any additional booths and
required facilities for
international networks shall be the
responsibility of the international
network.
ACCESS:
Organizer/Promoter shall accord all broadcast networks and/or their
designees the right to install and maintain at, and remove from, the
site of the Event and associated areas such wires, cables, and
apparatus as the network or its designee deems necessary for recording
and/or telecasting the Event (provided that there shall not be any
interference with the use of or means of ingress or egress at the site
or associated areas).
SECURITY:
Organizer/Promoter must provide security, with radio communications,
mutually agreed by the parties as sufficient, for all broadcast
equipment in the television compound and around the track, including
camera, remote, and booth locations. Security should be available from
the first evening of arrival through the morning of the last day of
departure of all broadcast equipment. Upon compliance with the security
provisions
7
contained in this paragraph, Organizer/Promoter shall not be liable for
any claims based on the lack of sufficient security.
ADDITIONAL FACILITIES:
Other networks may mount cameras, in a manner not to interfere with the
world feed, that would allow US and international networks to focus on
different drivers. Most likely these positions would be near or across
from pit lane. The location of these camera positions will be mutually
agreed upon by Organizer/Promoter, the networks and CART. The networks
would agree to provide at least thirty (30) days notice of intent to
supplement world feed cameras.
EQUIPMENT VENDORS:
Broadcast crews will use best efforts to achieve highest quality,
lowest cost for renting equipment from Organizer/Promoter's exclusive
source. If this cannot be achieved, then the exclusive track source
will not apply to the production company's needs. Due to the cost
effectiveness of annual contracts for such products as golf carts,
catering (including but not limited to all food and beverages, ice) ,
office systems, lifts/cranes, scaffolding and office trailers, etc., it
is unlikely that the Broadcasters will be able to honor
Organizer/Promoter's exclusive agreements in all categories.
