PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
International Speedway Corporation (together with its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, "ISC" or the "Company" unless otherwise required by the context)
is a leading promoter of motorsports activities in the United States. The
Company owns and/or operates four of the nation's premier superspeedways --
Daytona International Speedway in Florida ("Daytona"), home of the Daytona
500, widely recognized as the most prestigious stock car race in the world;
Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama ("Talladega"), the fastest stock car track;
Phoenix International Raceway in Arizona ("Phoenix"), the fastest 1-mile oval;
and Darlington Raceway in South Carolina("Darlington"), the first stock car
superspeedway. The Company also owns the Watkins Glen International road
course in New York ("Watkins Glen") and operates Tucson Raceway Park in
Arizona ("Tucson"). In addition the Company holds (i) an approximately 11%
interest in Penske Motorsports, Inc. ("PMI"), which owns and operates, through
its subsidiaries, Michigan International Speedway, The California Speedway
near Los Angeles, The North Carolina Motor Speedway and Pennsylvania's
Nazareth Speedway; (ii) an approximately 8% interest in the Grand Prix
Association of Long Beach, Inc. ("Long Beach"), which owns and/or operates the
Grand Prix of Long Beach, California, Gateway International Raceway, in
Madison, Illinois and Memphis Motorsports Park in Millington, Tennessee; and
(iii) a 40% interest in Homestead Miami Speedway, LLC ("Homestead") the
operators of the Metro-Dade Homestead Motorsports Complex.
The Company currently promotes over 80 stock car, sports car, truck,
motorcycle and other racing events annually, including ten National
Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc. ("NASCAR") Winston Cup Series
races (including two special non-points events), five NASCAR Busch Series-
Grand National Division races, the premier sports car endurance event in the
United States (the Rolex 24 at Daytona) and a number of prestigious motorcycle
races.
DEVELOPMENTS DURING FISCAL 1997
Fiscal 1997 was a year of significant developments. The Company began the
year poised for growth and expansion. On November 4, 1996 the Company had
sold 4,000,000 shares of its newly created Class A Common Stock in an
underwritten public offering at a price to the public of $20 per share. The
net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the stock were approximately
$74.3 million. Approximately $7.8 million of the net proceeds of this Offering
was used to repay borrowings previously incurred under one of the Company's
lines of credit in September 1996. The balance of the proceeds, together with
significant internally generated cash flow, were used to help finance the most
significant growth and acquisition in the Company's history.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
During the year significant seating capacity and suites were added at
the Company's existing Daytona, Talladega and Darlington facilities and
customer amenities were enhanced. The relocation of the start/finish line at
Darlington was accomplished and lighting of Daytona was begun.
External expansion began on April 1, 1997, when Watkins Glen
International, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary as a result of the
Company exercising its contractual option to acquire the 50% interest it did
not already own in Watkins Glen from Corning, Inc. for approximately $3.1
million. Sole ownership of this winding 3.4 mile road course in upstate New
York, affords the Company a stronger presence in an important northeastern
market and a broader national presence.
Expansion continued on July 14, 1997, when Phoenix Speedway Corporation,
a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially
all of the assets comprising the business and motorsports complex known as
"Phoenix International Raceway" from the prior owners for consideration
consisting of $46.4 million cash, notes payable of $13.8 million, and related
acquisition costs. This acquisition gave the Company a key western presence
in one of the country's largest markets.
During the third quarter, the Company established its presence in South
Florida, as well as on the West Coast and in Midwestern markets through
investments in Homestead and Long Beach. In July of 1997, the Company
invested $11.8 million (plus related acquisition costs) for a 40% interest in
Homestead. The Company invested $3.9 million (plus related acquisition costs)
in August of 1997 for a 7.2% interest in Long Beach. PMI, in which the
Company holds an 11% indirect interest, also acquired interests of 40% and
7.2% in Homestead, and Long Beach, respectively. The investment in Homestead
and the strategic alliances with PMI and Long Beach provide equity interests
in eight other motorsports venues, solidifying the Company's national
presence.
During the year the Company continued to explore new venues for
motorsports in Kansas City, Kansas and the Chicagoland area.
OPERATIONS
The Company's operations consist principally of racing events at its
tracks. In addition, the Company owns and operates the DAYTONA USA
entertainment complex, provides catering and concession services to third
parties through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Americrown Service Corporation
("Americrown"), and operates the MRN Radio network and NASCAR Truck Network.
Approximately $110 million, or 77.6%, of the Company's fiscal 1997 revenues
were attributable to NASCAR-sanctioned races at the Company's facilities,
including applicable admissions, luxury suite rental, sponsorship, television
and radio broadcast rights, food and beverage concession and catering,
souvenir, advertising and other revenues.

RACING EVENTS
The 1998 race schedule for the Company includes eight NASCAR Winston Cup
Championship Series races (not including the BUD Shootout - all star event or
the Gatorade 125's - qualifying races for the Daytona 500), five NASCAR Busch
Series - Grand National Division races and various other races and events
sanctioned by the NASCAR. In addition, the Company promotes a number of other
stock car, sports car, open wheel, motorcycle and go-kart racing events,
including events sanctioned by the American Historic Racing Motorcycle
Association ("AHRMA"), the American Motorcyclist Association ("AMA"), the
Automobile Racing Club of America ("ARCA"), the Championship Cup Series
("CCS"), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile ("FIA"), the Federation
Internationale Motocycliste ("FIM"), the International Race of Champions
("IROC"), the Indy Racing League ("IRL"), the Sports Car Club of America
("SCCA"), the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association ("SVRA"), the United States
Auto Club ("USAC"), the United States Road Racing Championship ("USRRC"), and

Racing events compete not only with other sports and other recreational
events scheduled at the same dates, but with other racing events sanctioned by
various racing bodies such as NASCAR, IRL, USAC, SCCA, USRRC, ARCA and others.
Racing events sanctioned by different organizations are often held on the same
dates at separate tracks. Management believes that the type and caliber of
promoted racing events, facility location, sight lines, pricing and level of
customer conveniences are the principal factors that distinguish competing
motorsports facilities.
OTHER OPERATIONS
The Company operates DAYTONA USA--The Ultimate Motorsports Attraction. This
motorsports-themed entertainment complex is located at Daytona. DAYTONA USA
includes (i) the Velocitorium, which covers approximately 50,000 square feet,
stands nearly four stories high and contains numerous highly interactive
motorsports exhibits, many of which are sponsored by leading consumer brands;
(ii) Western Auto's Speedway Tours, a tram tour of the Speedway's garage area,
pit road and high banked track; (iii) the Richard Petty Riding Experience at
Daytona; and (iv) for groups of fifteen or more, the VIP Tour, which includes
a tour of the Winston Tower suites. Adjoining DAYTONA USA are (a) the Daytona
Beach Area Convention and Visitors Official Welcome Center; (b) the Daytona
ticket office; (c) Sega Speedway, a high tech arcade using state of the art
video technology and computerized, "virtual" racing simulators; (d) Pit Shop,
which sells DAYTONA USA, Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR and race team
clothing, books, collectibles and other officially licensed merchandise; and
(e) the Fourth Turn Grill concessions facility. Management believes that
DAYTONA USA and these adjoining facilities appeal to individual tourists, tour
groups, conventions and the Company's corporate sponsors.
Americrown has conducted the food, beverage and souvenir concession
operations at Daytona and Talladega since September 1992 and at Darlington
since 1989. Americrown is also responsible for providing catering services to
corporate customers both in suites and entertainment chalets at these three
superspeedway facilities.
The Company's proprietary MRN Radio network and NASCAR Truck network
produce and syndicate NASCAR Winston Cup Series, NASCAR Busch Series - Grand
National Division, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and other races promoted by
the Company and others. The networks also produce daily and weekly NASCAR
racing programs, as well as Ned Jarrett's "World of Racing" program. Network
radio programs are currently carried by over 600 radio stations. The Company
derives revenue from the sale of advertising on the networks and rights fees
paid by broadcast affiliates. In addition, management believes that MRN Radio
and the NASCAR Truck Network enhance the Company through increased media
exposure to an expanding radio audience.
The Company from time to time uses its track facilities for car shows, auto
fairs, vehicle testing and settings for television commercials, print
advertisements and motion pictures. For example, Harley Davidson uses
Talladega Superspeedway as a test facility for its motorcycles. The Company
also operates Talladega Municipal Airport, which is located adjacent to the
Talladega Superspeedway.
As of November 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 395 full-time
employees. The Company also engages a significant number of temporary
personnel to assist during periods of peak attendance at its events. For
example, the Daytona International Speedway engages approximately 1,500
persons during Speedweeks, some of whom are volunteers.

</TABLE>
DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY. Daytona International Speedway, is located
on approximately 440 acres of leased land in Daytona Beach, Florida. The
Company's lease with the Daytona Beach Racing and Recreational Authority
expires in 2032, including renewal options. The Company also owns
approximately 15 acres of property adjacent to the Daytona International
Speedway. The Daytona International Speedway is a high banked, asphalt
superspeedway which also includes a 3.6 mile road course. Management believes
that this superspeedway, completed in 1959, includes a number of unique
features that provide a significant competitive advantage, including (i) a
tri-oval design which provides optimum viewing for race fans, (ii) a twin
tunnel underground entry system which offers easy access before and during
events, and (iii) 31-degree banking which, when combined with the track's 2.5
mile length, permits exceptionally high lap speeds.
At November 30, 1997, Daytona International Speedway had 122,207 grandstand
seats, 38 suites (including air conditioned luxury sky boxes and Winston Tower
suites that include access to hospitality areas) that include a total of 2,541
additional seats, and 30 "Paddock Club" suites that provide seating for 1,500
along Daytona's Pit Road. During major events, the Company also uses a chalet
village containing up to 73 hospitality tents that seat up to 9,600.
TALLADEGA SUPERSPEEDWAY. Talladega Superspeedway, which holds the record
for the fastest lap speed attained in stock car racing, is a high banked,
tri-oval track with an infield road course. The facility is located about
1-1/2 hours from Atlanta, Georgia and 45 minutes from Birmingham, Alabama. The
track and related parking areas are located on approximately 1,365 acres owned
by the Company, most of which is reserved for agricultural uses. The Company
also owns an additional 115 acres of undeveloped property located immediately
north of the entrance to the Talladega track. At November 30, 1997, the
facility included 108,118 grandstand seats, 22 luxury suites containing an
additional 1680 seats, a Paddock Club Suite for up to 240 spectators, and 71
hospitality chalets providing seating for approximately 10,000.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY. Phoenix International Raceway is a
motorsports complex located just outside Phoenix, Arizona on 320 acres owned
by the Company. The complex has a 1 mile oval racing surface and a 1.51 road
course. There are 67,477 grandstand seats and 25 suites which accommodate 875
guests.
DARLINGTON RACEWAY. Darlington Raceway, the first superspeedway to host a
NASCAR-sanctioned race, is a high banked track located on approximately 230
acres owned by the Company. The Darlington facility includes the 1.3 mile
track commonly known as "too tough to tame/registered trademark/," grandstands
that seat 49,883 spectators, nine luxury suites containing an additional 639
seats and 18 hospitality chalets providing seating for 3,800.
WATKINS GLEN INTERNATIONAL. Watkins Glen International is a 3.4 mile road
course track located on approximately 1,100 acres owned by the Company. The
grandstands at Watkins Glen International seat 35,244 spectators. There are
four suites seating 60 and 42 hospitality chalets providing seating for 8,186.
TUCSON RACEWAY PARK. Tucson Raceway Park includes a progressively banked,
3/8 mile paved oval track, grandstands providing seating for approximately
5,400 spectators, a luxury suite and other spectator facilities located on
part of the Pima County Fairgrounds. The Company's sublease with the
fairground manager expires in 2013, including renewals. The Company has no
current plans to expand this facility.
OTHER FACILITIES. In addition to its motorsports facilities, the Company
(i) owns concession facilities in Daytona Beach and in Talladega, (ii) leases
real estate and office space in Talladega, and (iii) leases the property and
premises at the Talladega Municipal Airport. The lease for the Company's
Talladega business offices, located within the International Motorsports Hall
of Fame, expires in 2002, including renewals. The Company's lease for the
Talladega Municipal Airport expires in 2022, including renewals.
The Company owns a recently renovated 67,000 square foot building located
on approximately nine acres across International Speedway Boulevard from
Daytona International Speedway which serve as corporate headquarters. The
Company also owns approximately 14 acres of real property, including three
buildings containing an aggregate of approximately 180,000 square feet,
located in close proximity to Daytona International Speedway and the Company's
new corporate headquarters facility.
TRADEMARKS. The Company has various registered and common law trademark
rights to "DAYTONA USA," the "Daytona 500," "Daytona International Speedway,"
"Talladega Superspeedway," "Darlington," "World Center of Racing" and related
logos. The Company also has licenses from NASCAR, various drivers and other
businesses to use names and logos for merchandising programs and product
sales. Management's policy is to protect its intellectual property rights
vigorously, through litigation if necessary, chiefly because of their
proprietary value in merchandise and promotional sales.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time a party to routine litigation
incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the resolution of
any or all of such litigation is likely to have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
On October 21, 1996, the Company's indirect corporate subsidiary, Americrown
Service Corporation ("Americrown"), was served with a Class Action Complaint
filed in the Circuit Court of Talladega County, Alabama by Howard Padgett,
Bill Lutz and Tommy Jones. The complaint was filed in September 1996 and
alleged, among other things, that Americrown engaged in price-fixing
activities in connection with the sale of racing souvenirs and merchandise at
the Talladega Superspeedway. The complaint seeks at least $500 for each
member of the putative class (persons buying racing souvenirs at Talladega
Superspeedway since September 1992), but does not otherwise seek to recover
compensatory or punitive damages or statutory attorneys' fees. Although
Americrown attempted to remove the suit to Federal District Court, it was
remanded to the Circuit Court of Talladega County, Alabama, where discovery
and the class certification process are proceeding. Americrown disputes the
allegations and intends to defend the action fully and vigorously.
In March 1997, two purported class action companion lawsuits were filed in the
United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, against the
Company, its indirect corporate subsidiary, Americrown Service Corporation,
and a number of other persons alleging, in substance, that the defendants
unlawfully conspired to fix prices of souvenirs and merchandise sold to
consumers in violation of federal antitrust laws. One suit was filed by
Florida residents and the other suit was filed by Georgia residents. Both
suits seek damages and injunctive relief on behalf of all persons who
purchased souvenirs or merchandise from certain vendors at any NASCAR Winston
Cup stock car race or supporting event in the United States during the period
1991 to present. The two suits have been consolidated and the court has
established a timetable to consider class certification. Discovery is
proceeding. The Company and Americrown dispute the allegations and intend to
defend the actions fully and vigorously.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
At November 30, 1997 International Speedway Corporation had two issued
classes of capital stock: Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value per share and
Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value per share. The Class A Common Stock is
traded on the NASDAQ National Market System under the symbol "ISCA". The Class
B Common Stock is traded on NASDAQ's Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the
symbol "ISCB" and, at the option of the holder, is convertible to Class A
Common Stock at any time. As of November 30, 1997 there were a total of
2,537 record holders of both classes of stock.
Prior to November 4, 1996 the Company had only one class of capital
stock - common stock, $.10 par value per share. This single class of stock
was traded on NASDAQ's Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. The symbol on the
stock was ISWY. Effective with the November 4, 1996 recapitalization and
related 15-1 stock split, each share of this class of stock was converted into
15 shares of the Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value per share and began
trading under the symbol ISCB, still on NASDAQ's Over-The-Counter Bulletin
Board. The newly created Class A Common Stock trades on the NASDAQ National
Market under the symbol ISCA. The reported high and low sales prices or high
and low bid information, as applicable [as adjusted for the 15-1 split] for
each quarter indicated are as follows:

(1) The Company changed its fiscal year end to November 30 effective
December 1, 1996. This resulted in a three month transition period
commencing September 1, 1996 and ending November 30, 1996. The
unaudited results of the twelve month period ended November 30, 1996 are
presented for the purpose of comparison to the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1997. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company derives revenues primarily from (i) admissions to racing events
held at its motorsports facilities, (ii) revenue generated in conjunction with
or as a result of motorsports events conducted at the Company's facilities,
and (iii) catering, concession and souvenir sales made during or as a result
of such events.
"Admissions" revenue includes ticket sales from all of the Company's events,
track tours and the DAYTONA USA Velocitorium. Admissions revenue for racing
events is recorded upon completion of the related motorsports event.
"Motorsports related income" primarily includes television and radio broadcast
rights fees, promotion and sponsorship fees, hospitality rentals (including
luxury suites and chalets), advertising revenues, royalties from licenses of
the Company's trademarks and track rentals. The Company negotiates directly
with television and cable networks for coverage of substantially all of its
televised motorsports events. The Company's revenues from corporate
sponsorships are paid in accordance with negotiated contracts, with the
identities of sponsors and the terms of sponsorship changing from time to
time.
"Food, beverage and souvenir income" includes revenues from concession stands,
hospitality catering and direct sales of souvenirs, programs and other
merchandise, as well as fees paid by third party vendors for the right to sell
souvenirs and concessions at the Company's facilities.
Expenses include (i) prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees,
(ii) motorsports related expenses, which include costs of competition paid to
sanctioning bodies other than NASCAR, labor, advertising and other expenses
associated with the Company's promotion of its racing events, and (iii) food,
beverage and souvenir expenses, consisting primarily of labor and costs of
goods sold.

</TABLE>
The Company changed its fiscal year end to November 30 effective December 1,
1996. Management believes that, due to the continued expansion of the
Company's business, a comparison of the year ended November 30, 1997 to the
twelve months ended November 30, 1996 is more meaningful than a comparison of
the year ended November 30, 1997 to the year ended August 31, 1996.
Therefore, the discussion and analysis of results of operations for fiscal
1997 is compared to the unaudited twelve months ended November 30, 1996.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
COMPARISON OF FISCAL 1997 TO THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996
During fiscal 1997, the Company acquired the 50% interest it did not already
own in Watkins Glen International ("Watkins Glen") and acquired Phoenix
International Raceway ("Phoenix") - see the discussion under the caption
"Capital Expenditures". The consolidation of Watkins Glen, effective April 1,
1997, and the July 14, 1997 purchase of Phoenix resulted in the addition of
numerous events to the Company's fiscal 1997 event schedule including two
NASCAR Winston Cup Series events, a NASCAR Busch Series event and two NASCAR
Craftsman Truck Series events. These acquisitions have resulted in
significant increases in both revenues and expenses in fiscal 1997 as compared
to the same period of the prior year.
Admissions revenue increased approximately $18.8 million, or 37%, during
fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year. Approximately
one-third of this increase is a result of increased seating capacity and
attendance at Daytona International Speedway ("Daytona"), Talladega
Superspeedway ("Talladega") and Darlington Raceway ("Darlington").
Approximately one-quarter of the increase is attributable to an increase in
the weighted average price of tickets sold at Daytona, Talladega and
Darlington. The remainder of the increase is primarily attributable to the
impact of admissions to events conducted at Watkins Glen and Phoenix.
Motorsports related income increased approximately $18.3 million, or 64.4%,
during fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Approximately one-half of this increase is a result of an increase in
broadcast rights fees, the rentals of hospitality facilities and promotion and
sponsorship fees related to events conducted at Daytona, Talladega and
Darlington. The remaining increase is attributable to the events conducted at
Watkins Glen and Phoenix, advertising revenue, other promotion and sponsorship
fees and royalties.
Food, beverage and souvenir income increased approximately $5.7 million, or
32.1%, for fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Increased attendance at events conducted at Daytona, Talladega and Darlington,
and, to a lesser extent, increases in certain prices accounted for
approximately one-half of the increase. The remaining increase is a result of
events conducted at Watkins Glen and Phoenix and direct sales of souvenirs at
the gift shop adjacent to DAYTONA USA.
Prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees increased by
approximately $6.8 million, or 49.9%, during fiscal 1997 as compared to the
same period of the prior year. Over one-half of this increase is due to
events conducted at Watkins Glen and Phoenix. The remaining increase is
primarily the result of increases in the prize and point fund monies paid by
NASCAR to participants in the Company's events. This increase is primarily
attributable to increases in the Company's TV broadcast rights as standard
NASCAR sanction agreements require that a specified percentage of TV broadcast
rights be paid as part of the prize money.
Motorsports related expenses increased approximately $6.7 million, or 40.8%,
for fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year. This
increase is primarily attributable to operating costs related to the events
held at Watkins Glen and Phoenix, increases in direct race expenses related to
events conducted at Daytona, Talladega and Darlington, including increases in
operating costs related to the rain out and rescheduling of Talladega's second
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
quarter NASCAR Winston Cup event and, to a lesser extent, the operation of
DAYTONA USA. Motorsports related expenses remained relatively constant as a
percentage of combined admissions and motorsports related income during both
periods.
Food, beverage and souvenir expenses increased approximately $2.9 million, or
27.2%, in fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year,
primarily due to increases in personnel and product costs. Food, beverage and
souvenir expenses as a percentage of food, beverage and souvenir income
decreased from approximately 59.6% for the twelve months ended November 30,
1996 to 57.4% in fiscal 1997 primarily due to the use of third party vendors
at the Company's Phoenix facility.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $7.8 million, or
35.7%, during fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
The increases are due to the acquisition of Phoenix, the consolidation of
Watkins Glen, and expenses related to the ongoing expansion of the Company's
business. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total
revenue decreased from approximately 22.2% for the twelve months ended
November 30, 1997 to 20.9% in fiscal 1997.
The Company's depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately
$2.5 million, or 34.5%, during fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of
the prior year, primarily as a result of DAYTONA USA, the ongoing expansion of
the Company's motorsports facilities and amortization of goodwill related to
the acquisition of Phoenix. This increase was partially mitigated by an
approximately $1 million decrease in depreciation associated with the
lengthening of the estimated service lives of grandstands and other
significant assets as a result of Management's review of actual service lives
of these types of assets conducted at the beginning of the current fiscal
year.
The approximately $1.8 million increase in the Company's net interest income
during fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year, is
attributable primarily to the investment of proceeds, pending their usage,
from the November 1996 Class A Common Stock offering.
Equity in net income from equity investments represents the Company's prorata
share of the current income and losses from its equity investments and the
amortization of the Company's investment in excess of its share of the
investee's underlying net assets, accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. In fiscal 1997 this included the Company's 11% indirect interest
in Penske Motorsports, Inc. ("PMI"), its 40% investment in Homestead-Miami
Speedway, LLC ("Homestead") from July of 1997, its approximately 7% investment
in the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, Inc. ("Long Beach") from August
of 1997, and its 50% investment in Watkins Glen through March 31, 1997. The
approximately $900,000, or 71.6% decrease in equity in net income from equity
investments during fiscal 1997, as compared to the same period of the prior
year, is due to the changes in the Company's equity investments and the timing
of those changes.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income increased approximately
$11 million, or 58.2%, during fiscal 1997 as compared to the same period of
the prior year.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
COMPARISON OF FISCAL 1996 TO FISCAL 1995
Admissions revenue increased approximately $6.9 million, or 15.9%, from
fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996. Approximately three-quarters of this increase was
attributable to an increase in the Company's weighted average price of tickets
sold. This increase was the result of general price increases and additional
sales of premium seats. Increased attendance at the Company's racing events
and admissions to DAYTONA USA accounted for the remainder of the increase.
Motorsports related income increased approximately $3.4 million, or 14.1%,
from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996. This increase is attributed to increases in
broadcast rights fees, promotion and sponsorship fees and hospitality rentals,
partially offset by a decrease in royalties from the Company's trademark
license to a single licensee.
Food, beverage and souvenir income increased approximately $3.1 million, or
21.2%, from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996. Over one-half of this increase was
attributable to expanded food and beverage services at outdoor sporting events
unrelated to the motorsports events promoted by the Company. The remainder of
the increase was primarily attributable to increased attendance at the
Company's racing events and, to a lesser extent, price increases.
Prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees increased
approximately $2.1 million, or 17.8%, from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996.
Approximately three-quarters of this increase was due to increases in the
prize and point fund monies paid by NASCAR to participants in the Company's
motorsports events. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in
the Company's broadcast revenues as standard NASCAR sanctioning agreements
require that a specified percentage of broadcast revenues be paid as prize
money.
Motorsports related expenses increased approximately $3.7 million, or
32.2%, from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996, reflecting increased labor,
advertising and other costs associated with the promotion of the Company's
racing events. Motorsports related expenses as a percentage of combined
admissions and motorsports related income increased from approximately 17.2%
in fiscal 1995 to approximately 19.8% in fiscal 1996, which management
attributes primarily to pre-opening expenses associated with DAYTONA USA,
which was open for only two months in fiscal 1996, as well as the impact of
inclement weather on the results from the Company's 1996 motorcycle week
events.
Food, beverage and souvenir expenses increased approximately $2.2 million,
or 26.8%, from fiscal 1995 to 1996, reflecting increases in labor, product
costs and other expense items attributable to the Company's expanded
concessions and catering operations. Food, beverage and souvenir expenses as a
percentage of food, beverage and souvenir income increased from approximately
56.1% in fiscal 1995 to 58.7% in fiscal 1996, reflecting the lower margins
associated with the expansion of concession and catering operations to third
party events.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.7 million,
or 15.0%, from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 1996. The increase was primarily due to
increases in life insurance, travel expenses, wages and other compensation,
and professional fees, as well as a wide variety of other expense items
associated with the ongoing expansion of the Company's business. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from
approximately 22.2% in fiscal 1995 to 21.8% in fiscal 1996.
The Company's depreciation expense increased approximately $1.5 million, or
31.3%, primarily as a result of the ongoing expansion of the Company's
motorsports facilities and the opening of DAYTONA USA in July 1996.
The approximately $550,000 decrease in the Company's net interest income
was primarily attributable to lower average investment balances resulting from
the funding of construction of DAYTONA USA, the Company's indirect investment
in PMI and a variety of facility expansion and improvement projects.
The approximately $1.2 million increase in net income from equity
investments was attributable to the Company's indirect investment in PMI and,
to a lesser extent, an increase in Watkins Glen net income.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income increased $1.3
million, or 7.2%, from $18.4 million in fiscal 1995 to $19.7 million in fiscal
1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL
The Company has historically generated sufficient cash flow from
operations to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures at
existing facilities, as well as to pay annual cash dividends. At November 30,
1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of $25 million, compared to
working capital of $52.9 million at November 30, 1996, which is primarily
attributable to the funding of the Company's purchase of Phoenix International
Raceway and its investments in Homestead and Long Beach as described below
under the caption "Capital Expenditures".
The Company also has a $10 million line of credit with a financial
institution which expires in March 1999. There were no borrowings under the
Company's credit facility at November 30, 1997.
CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $54.9 million
for fiscal 1997. The difference between the Company's fiscal 1997 net income
of $29.8 million and the $54.9 million of operating cash flow was primarily
attributable to $10 million in depreciation and amortization, a $6.8 million
increase in deferred income, a $4.4 million increase in deferred income taxes,
a combined increase of $4.5 million in accounts payable and other current
liabilities and $1 million in amortization of deferred compensation, partially
offset by a combined increase of $1.4 million in receivables and prepaid
expenses and other current assets.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Net cash used in investing activities was $50.5 million for fiscal 1997.
The Company's use of cash for investing activities for fiscal 1997 reflects
$43.9 million for the purchase of Phoenix, $38.6 million in capital
expenditures, $16.2 million for the Company's investments in Homestead and
Long Beach, a $1.5 million investment in the stock of PMI and $1 million, net
of cash acquired, for the Company's acquisition of the 50% interest in Watkins
Glen that it did not already own, partially offset by net proceeds from
maturities of investments of $52 million. See "Capital Expenditures".
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $2.5 million for
fiscal 1997. The use of cash in financing activities during fiscal 1997 is
primarily attributable to $2.3 million in cash dividends. The cash provided
by financing activities for the twelve months ended November 30, 1996 included
the proceeds of the November 1996 Class A Common Stock offering.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures totaled $38.6 million for fiscal 1997 compared to
$41.4 million for the same period of the prior year. Capital expenditures
during fiscal 1997 related primarily to additions to spectator capacity at
Daytona, Talladega and Darlington, the addition of track lighting at Daytona
and renovation of the Company's new corporate headquarters.
The Company expects to make approximately $55.3 million of additional
capital expenditures for approved projects within the next 24 months to
increase seating capacity, to construct luxury suites, to complete track
lighting at Daytona and for a number of other improvements to the Company's
motorsports facilities.
On April 1, 1997, the Company exercised its contractual option to acquire
the 50% interest it did not already own in Watkins Glen from Corning, Inc. for
approximately $3.1 million. The transaction price represented the stock's
book value at December 31, 1996. The Company's option to purchase Corning's
interest for its book value was part of a shareholder agreement between the
two companies in place since 1988.
During the third quarter, the Company established its presence in South
Florida, as well as on the West Coast and in Midwestern markets through
investments in Homestead and Long Beach. In July of 1997, the Company
invested $11.8 million, plus related acquisition costs, for a 40% interest in
Homestead, the operator of the Metro-Dade Homestead Motorsports Complex. The
Company invested $3.9 million, plus related acquisition costs, in August of
1997 for an approximately 7% interest in Long Beach, the operator of Grand
Prix of Long Beach, California, Gateway International Raceway in Madison,
Illinois and Memphis Motorsports Park in Millington, Tennessee. PMI, in which
the Company holds an 11% indirect interest, also acquired interests of 40% and
approximately 7% in Homestead and Long Beach, respectively. The Company's
investment in Homestead represents a portion of the security in support of
this investee's credit facility.
The Homestead and Long Beach transactions have been accounted for using
the equity method of accounting and are included in equity investments along
with the Company's investment in PSH Corp.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
FUTURE LIQUIDITY
The Company believes that funds generated from operations, along with
funds available under the existing line of credit, if necessary, will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital requirements through at
least fiscal 1998, as well as the Company's planned capital expenditures
described above.
The Company is currently pursuing the development of new facilities in
several major markets. In December 1997, the Company announced that it
reached an agreement with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas
City, Kansas for the construction of a 1.5-mile oval motor speedway in western
Kansas City, Kansas. Assuming certain conditions precedent are met, the
Company expects to commit approximately $55.6 million in mid-1998 for its
portion of project costs associated with the initial phase of the project.
The Company is currently negotiating a credit facility to finance these
anticipated project costs.
The Company also believes that it will be able to obtain financing to
fund the acquisition, development and/or construction of additional
motorsports facilities, if necessary, should the Company implement this
element of its growth strategy. However, there can be no assurance that
adequate debt or equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms.
[see FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS and UNCERTAIN PROSPECTS OF NEW
MOTORSPORTS FACILITIES]
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
The Company derives most of its income from event admissions and related
revenue from a limited number of NASCAR-sanctioned races. As a result, the
Company's business has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal based
on the timing of major race events. For example, the Darlington Southern 500
is traditionally held on the Sunday preceding Labor Day. Accordingly, the
revenue and expenses for that race and/or certain of its supporting events may
be recognized in either the fiscal quarter ending August 31 or the fiscal
quarter ending November 30. Partly in response to this seasonality and the
desire to better conform to the traditional racing season, the Company changed
its fiscal year end from August 31 to November 30 effective December 1, 1996.
This resulted in a three-month transition period commencing September 1, 1996
and ending November 30, 1996.
Historically, the Company has incurred net losses in the fiscal quarter
ending November 30, and achieved its highest net income in the fiscal quarter
ending February 28. In fiscal 1997 the Company had net income for the quarter
ended November 30, primarily due to the acquisition of Phoenix, which resulted
in the addition of a NASCAR Winston Cup Series event in the quarter ending
November 30, and the date change for the Company's Talladega DieHard 500 race,
which moved the event from the quarter ended August 31 to the quarter ended
November 30.

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on
operating costs and earnings of the Company.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS
Statements contained in this document that state the Company's or
Management's anticipations, beliefs, expectations, hopes, intentions,
predictions and/or strategies which are not purely historical fact or which
apply prospectively are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. All forward-looking statements contained in this
document are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof,
and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking
statements. It is important to note that the Company's actual results could
differ materially from those contained or projected in, or even implied by,
such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause the
actual results to differ materially are set forth below. Additional
information concerning these, or other, factors which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is
contained from time to time in the Company's other SEC filings. Copies of
those filings are available from the Company and/or the SEC.

<PAGE>
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs and other
business systems being written using two digits rather than four to represent
the year. Many of the Company's time sensitive applications and business
systems may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000, which could result in system failure or disruption of operations. The
Year 2000 problem will impact the Company and its business partners.
An assessment of the Year 2000 exposure has been made by the Company and
the plans to resolve the related issues are being implemented. Most major
systems have already been updated or replaced with applications that are year
2000 compliant in the normal course of business. The Company believes it will
be able to achieve Year 2000 compliance by the end of fiscal 1998.
The Company has also developed a plan of communication with significant
business partners to ensure that the Company's operations are not disrupted
through these relationships and that the Year 2000 issues are resolved timely.
The Company believes that it will satisfactorily resolve all significant
Year 2000 problems and that the related costs will not be material. Estimates
of Year 2000 related costs are based on numerous assumptions, including the
continued availability of certain resources, the ability to correct all
relevant applications and third party modification plans. There is no
guarantee that the estimates will be achieved and actual costs could differ
materially from those anticipated.
DEPENDENCY UPON NASCAR
The Company's success has been and will primarily remain dependent upon
maintaining a good working relationship with NASCAR, the sanctioning body for
the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, NASCAR Busch Series, and certain other races
promoted by the Company. The Company has sanctioning agreements to promote and
market eight NASCAR Winston Cup Series Championship races, five NASCAR Busch
Series races and a number of other NASCAR races for the 1998 racing season.
Each NASCAR event sanctioning agreement is awarded on an annual basis. In the
fiscal years 1996 and 1997, NASCAR-sanctioned races at the Company's
facilities accounted for approximately 78.3% and 77.6%, respectively, of the
Company's total revenues. Although William C. France and James C. France
presently control both the Company and NASCAR, and management believes that
the Company will continue to maintain an excellent relationship with NASCAR
for the foreseeable future, NASCAR is under no obligation to continue to enter
into sanctioning agreements with the Company to promote any event. Failure to
obtain a sanctioning agreement for a major NASCAR event would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Moreover, although the Company is engaged in the development of additional
motorsports facilities, there can be no assurance that NASCAR will enter into
sanctioning agreements with the Company to promote races at such facilities.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's continued success will depend upon the availability and
performance of its senior management team, particularly William C. France, the
Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, James C. France,
its President and Chief Operating Officer, and Lesa D. Kennedy, its Executive
Vice President, each of whom possesses unique and extensive industry knowledge
and experience. While the Company believes that its senior management team has
significant depth, the loss of any of the Company's key personnel or its
inability to attract and retain key employees in the future could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations and business plans.
INDUSTRY SPONSORSHIPS AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The motorsports industry and the Company generate significant recurring
revenue from the promotion, sponsorship and advertising of various companies
and their products. Government regulation can adversely impact the
availability to motorsports of this promotion, sponsorship and advertising
revenue. Advertising by the tobacco and alcoholic beverage industries is
generally subject to greater governmental regulation than advertising by other
sponsors of the Company's events. In August 1996, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (the "FDA") issued regulations concerning advertising and sales
of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to minors which would, in part, restrict
tobacco industry sponsorship of all sporting events, including motorsports,
effective August 1998. The FDA regulations prohibit the present practice of
tobacco product brand name sponsorship of, or identification with, motorsports
events, entries and teams. If these rules become effective, no assurance can
be given that suitable alternative sponsors for the events, entries and teams
could be located. Management is aware of pending legal challenges, as well as
legislative initiatives, which could change or prevent the scheduled
implementation of these regulations. The tobacco industry has reached a
widely publicized settlement of pending liability lawsuits which would have an
effect similar to the pending FDA regulations. This proposed settlement would
require legislative approval and enabling legislation. However, the final
outcome of the challenges to the FDA regulations or the implementation of the
proposed settlement is uncertain, and the ultimate impact on the motorsports
industry and the Company, if any, is unclear. The Company is not aware of any
proposed governmental regulation which would materially limit the availability
to motorsports of promotion, sponsorship or advertising revenue from the
alcoholic beverage industry. Advertising and sponsorship revenue from the
tobacco and alcoholic beverage industries accounted for approximately 1.5% of
the Company's total revenues in both fiscal 1996 and 1997. In addition, the
tobacco and alcoholic beverage industries provide financial support to the
motorsports industry through, among other things, their purchase of
advertising time, their sponsorship of racing teams and their sponsorship of
racing series such as the NASCAR Winston Cup Series and the NASCAR Busch
Series.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The Company's racing events face competition from other
spectator-oriented sporting events and other leisure and recreational
activities. As a result, the Company's revenues will be affected by the
general popularity of motorsports, the availability of alternative forms of
recreation and changing consumer preferences. The Company's racing events also
compete with other racing events sanctioned by various racing bodies such as
NASCAR, Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc. ("CART"), the United States Auto
Club ("USAC"), the National Hot Rod Association ("NHRA"), the Sports Car Club
of America ("SCCA"), United States Road Racing Championship ("USRRC"), the
Automobile Racing Club of America ("ARCA") and others. Management believes
that the primary elements of competition in attracting motorsports spectators
and corporate sponsors to a racing event and facility are the type and caliber
of promoted racing events, facility location, sight lines, pricing and
customer amenities that contribute to a total entertainment experience. Many
sports and entertainment businesses have resources that exceed those of the
Company.
IMPACT OF CONSUMER SPENDING ON RESULTS
The success of the Company's operations depends to a significant extent
upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending,
including economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as
employment, business conditions, interest rates and taxation. These factors
can impact both attendance at the Company's events and the financial results
of the motorsports industry's principal sponsors. There can be no assurance
that future consumer spending will not be adversely affected by economic
conditions, thereby impacting the Company's growth, revenue and profitability.
UNCERTAIN PROSPECTS OF NEW MOTORSPORTS FACILITIES
The Company is engaged in the development of new motorsports facilities.
The Company's ability to implement successfully this element of its growth
strategy will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the Company's
ability to obtain one or more additional sanctioning agreements to promote
NASCAR Winston Cup Series, NASCAR Busch Series or other major events at these
new facilities, (ii) the cooperation of local government officials, (iii) the
Company's capital resources and the availability of debt or equity financing
on satisfactory terms, (iv) the Company's ability to control construction and
operating costs, and (v) the Company's ability to hire and retain qualified
personnel. The Company's inability to implement its expansion plans for any
reason would adversely affect its business prospects. In addition, expenses
associated with developing, constructing and opening a new facility may have a
negative effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations
in one or more future reporting periods. The cost of any such transaction
will depend on a number of factors, including the facility's location, the
extent of the Company's ownership interest and the degree of any municipal or
other public support. Moreover, although management believes that it will be
able to obtain financing, if necessary, to fund the acquisition, development
and/or construction of additional motorsports facilities should the Company
implement this element of its growth strategy, there can be no assurance that
adequate debt or equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
FINANCIAL IMPACT OF BAD WEATHER
The Company promotes outdoor motorsports events. Weather conditions
affect sales of, among other things, tickets, concessions and souvenirs at
these events. Although the Company sells tickets well in advance of its most
popular events, poor weather conditions could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations, particularly any interruption of the
Company's February "Speedweeks" events.
LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURIES
Motorsports can be dangerous to participants and to spectators. The
Company maintains insurance policies that provide coverage within limits that
management believes should generally be sufficient to protect the Company from
material financial loss due to liability for personal injuries sustained by
persons on the Company's premises in the ordinary course of Company business.
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be adequate
or available at all times and in all circumstances. The Company's financial
condition and results of operations would be adversely affected to the extent
claims and associated expenses exceed insurance recoveries.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND ZONING MATTERS
Management believes that the Company's operations are in substantial
compliance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations. Nonetheless, if damage to persons or property or contamination of
the environment is determined to have been caused or exacerbated by the
conduct of the Company's business or by pollutants, substances, contaminants
or wastes used, generated or disposed of by the Company, or which may be found
on the property of the Company, the Company may be held liable for such damage
and may be required to pay the cost of investigation and/or remediation of
such contamination or any related damage. The amount of such liability as to
which the Company is self-insured could be material. State and local laws
relating to the protection of the environment also include noise abatement
laws that may be applicable to the Company's racing events. Changes in the
provisions or application of federal, state or local environmental laws,
regulations or requirements, or the discovery of theretofore unknown
conditions, could also require additional material expenditures by the
Company.
In addition, the development of new motorsports facilities (and, to a
lesser extent, the expansion of existing facilities) requires compliance with
applicable federal, state and local land use planning, zoning and
environmental regulations. Regulations governing the use and development of
real estate may prevent the Company from acquiring or developing prime
locations for motorsports facilities, substantially delay or complicate the
process of improving existing facilities, and/or materially increase the costs
of any of such activities.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its indirect subsidiary, Americrown Service Corporation,
are parties to certain legal proceedings described in "Part II - Other
Information". While the Company and Americrown dispute the allegations and
intend to defend the actions fully and vigorously, the cost of defending the
suits is not insured. Management is presently unable to predict or quantify
the outcome of these matters. But, there can be no assurance the defense of
the suits, or a possible adverse resolution, will not require material
expenditures by the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
International Speedway Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
International Speedway Corporation and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1996
and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1996, the three
month period ended November 30, 1996, and the year ended November 30,
1997. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the
index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of International Speedway Corporation and subsidiaries at November 30, 1996
and 1997, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1996, the three month period
ended November 30, 1996 and the year ended November 30, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the
related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: International Speedway Corporation and its

NOTE 1 -- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED)
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: On September 5, 1996 the Company's Board of
Directors approved a recapitalization of the Company which became effective
November 4, 1996, concurrently with the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement filed on September 6, 1996 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the offering of 4,000,000 shares of the
Company's newly authorized Class A Common Stock (discussed below). The
recapitalization modified the Company's authorized capital to include one
million shares of Preferred Stock, eighty million shares of Class A Common
Stock and forty million shares of Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to the
recapitalization, all of the Company's existing outstanding shares of Common
Stock were automatically converted, on a 15-for-one basis, into the newly
authorized shares of Class B Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock
previously held as treasury stock were retired. Shareholders' equity and all
share information and per share data have been adjusted to give effect to the
recapitalization and related stock split.
Effective December 1, 1996, the Company changed its fiscal year end from
August 31 to November 30. This resulted in a three-month transition period
commencing September 1, 1996 and ending November 30, 1996.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of International Speedway Corporation and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand deposit accounts,
repurchase agreements and money market accounts at investment firms. Cash and
cash equivalents exclude certificates of deposit, obligations of U.S.
Government Agencies, U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S. Treasury Bills, regardless
of original maturity.
INVESTMENTS (NOTE 4): The Company accounts for investments in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".
The Company determines the appropriate classification of investments at
the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance
sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity based on the
Company's positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
These securities are stated at cost. Interest and dividends are included in
interest income.
Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposit and securities
held-to-maturity which are due in one year or less. Certificates of deposit
are readily convertible to cash and are stated at cost.
Long-term investments consist of securities held-to-maturity which are due
after one year and are stated at cost.

INVENTORIES: Inventories of items for resale are stated at the lower of
cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or market.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment, including improvements to
existing facilities, are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for
financial reporting purposes using either the straight-line or accelerated
methods over estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings, grandstands and tracks .... 5-34 years
Furniture and equipment ............... 3-20 years
EQUITY INVESTMENTS (NOTE 2): Equity investments at November 30, 1996,
represent a 50% ownership interest in Watkins Glen and a 20% ownership
interest in PSH Corp (resulting in an approximately 11% indirect interest in
PMI). At November 30, 1997, equity investments represent a 40% interest in
Homestead, an approximately 7% interest in Long Beach and a 20% ownership
interest in PSH Corp. These investments are accounted for using the equity
method of accounting. The Company's equity in the net income from equity
investments is recorded as income with a corresponding increase in the
investment. Dividends received and amortization of the Company's investment in
excess of its pro rata share of the underlying assets reduce the investment.
The Company's investment in excess of its pro rata share of the underlying
assets is amortized by the straight-line method over 20 years. The Company
recognizes the effects of transactions involving the sale or distribution by
an equity investee of its common stock as capital transactions.
GOODWILL: Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is being amortized by the
straight-line method over 40 years. Recoverability of intangibles is assessed
using estimated undiscounted cash flows of related operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Company's financial instruments
consist of cash, short- and long-term investments, accounts receivable and
accounts payable. The carrying value of these financial instruments
approximates their fair value at November 30, 1997.
INCOME TAXES (NOTE 5): Income taxes have been provided using the liability
method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will
be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
ADMISSION INCOME: Admission income and all race-related revenue is earned
upon completion of an event and is stated net of admission and sales taxes
collected. Refundable advance ticket sales and all race-related revenue on
future events are deferred until earned.

ADVERTISING EXPENSE: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or, as in
the case of race-related advertising, upon the completion of the event.
Advertising expense was approximately $1.3 million, $1.7 million, $290,000 and
$2.4 million for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1996, the three months
ended November 30, 1996 and the year ended November 30, 1997, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per share have been computed on the weighted
average total number of common shares outstanding during the respective
periods. Weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended August 31,
1995 and 1996, and the year ended November 30, 1997 were 34,378,830,
34,440,525 and 38,488,767 shares, respectively. Weighted average shares
outstanding for the three month period ended November 30, 1996 were
35,610,510.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".
SFAS 121 requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event
the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows
attributable to such assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.
The Company accounts for its long-term incentive restricted stock plan in
accordance with provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB
25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". In 1995, SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" was issued. SFAS No. 123 provides
an alternative to APB 25 and is effective for the Company in fiscal year 1997.
The Company has elected to continue to account for its long-term incentive
plan in accordance with the provisions of APB 25. See Note 11.
In February 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", was issued and is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December
15, 1997. This statement requires companies to present earnings per share on
the face of the income statement in two categories called "Basic" and
"Diluted" and requires restatement of all periods presented. The Company will
adopt SFAS No. 128 during the first quarter of 1998. Management believes the
impact on earnings per share will not be material.

In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", was issued.
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 130 in fiscal 1999. SFAS
No. 130 expands or modifies disclosures and, accordingly, will have no impact
on the Company's reported financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In June 1997, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information", was issued. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for
the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and reporting selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has not yet
determined the effect of SFAS No. 131 on its financial statement disclosures.

On May 19, 1997, PMI increased its ownership interest in North Carolina
Motor Speedway ("NCMS") to approximately 70% through the issuance of 906,542
shares of common stock valued at $30 per share. As a result of PMI's
increased investment in NCMS, the Company recorded an increase in its equity
investment in PSH Corp. of approximately $3 million and recorded a
corresponding increase in deferred income taxes and additional paid-in capital
of approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
In July 1997, the Company invested $11.8 million, plus related acquisition
costs, for its 40% interest in Homestead.
On August 8, 1997, the Company invested $3.9 million, plus related
acquisition costs, for an approximately 7% interest in Long Beach. The
Company's investment exceeded its share of the underlying net assets by
approximately $1.9 million. The excess is being amortized into expense by
decreasing the equity in income of equity investments using the straight-line
method over twenty years.
The Company's investment in excess of its share of underlying net assets in
equity investments net of amortization amounted to $7.3 million and $8.8
million in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Amortization of the excess over the
Company's share of the underlying net assets for the year ended August 31,
1996, the three month period ended November 30, 1996 and the year ended
November 30, 1997 was approximately $288,000, $96,000 and $416,000,
respectively.
The Company's share of undistributed equity in the earnings from equity
investments included in retained earnings at November 30, 1996 and 1997 was
approximately $3,002,000 and $3,784,000, respectively.

NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS
On April 1, 1997, the Company exercised its contractual option to acquire
the 50% interest it did not already own in Watkins Glen from Corning, Inc. for
approximately $3.1 million. The transaction price represented the stock's
book value at December 31, 1996. The Company's option to purchase Corning's
interest for its book value was part of a shareholder agreement between the
two companies in place since 1988.
The Company's equity in Watkins Glen's net loss through March 31, 1997 is
included in equity in net income from equity investments at November 30, 1997.
The acquisition of the additional 50% interest was accounted for under the
purchase method. Subsequent to the acquisition on April 1, 1997, Watkins Glen
International is accounted for on a consolidated basis.
On July 14, 1997, Phoenix Speedway Corporation, a newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets comprising
the business and motorsports complex known as "Phoenix International Raceway"
from Phoenix International Raceway, Inc., Phoenix International Raceway,
L.L.C. and Phoenix International Raceway Limited Partnership for consideration
consisting of $46.4 million in cash, notes payable of $13.8 million, and
related acquisition costs. Interest is being accrued on the note payable to
the former principal and shareholder at an annual rate of 9%.
The Phoenix acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations have been included in
the Company's consolidated statements of operations since the date
of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the assets and
liabilities acquired based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets
acquired was approximately $40.8 million and has been recorded as goodwill,
which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The amount
amortized for the year ended November 30, 1997 was approximately $382,000.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents a summary
of consolidated results of operations as if the Phoenix transaction had
occurred as of September 1, 1995 after giving effect to certain adjustments,
including depreciation, amortization of goodwill, interest income, interest
expense on acquisition debt and related income tax effects. The pro forma
results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to
be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on
that date, nor are they necessarily indicative of results which may occur in
the future.

NOTE 7 -- CAPITAL STOCK
The Company's authorized capital includes 80 million shares of Class A
Common Stock, par value $.01 ("Class A Common Stock"), 40 million shares of
Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 ("Class B Common Stock"), and one million
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 (the "Preferred Stock"). The shares
of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical in all
respects, except for voting rights and certain dividend and conversion rights
as described below. Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to
one-fifth (1/5) vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company's
shareholders and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to one
(1) vote on each such matter, in each case including the election of
directors. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are
entitled to receive dividends at the same rate if and when declared by the
Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefrom, subject to the
dividend and liquidation rights of any Preferred Stock that may be issued and
outstanding. Class A Common Stock has no conversion rights. Class B Common
Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock, in whole or in part, at any
time at the option of the holder on the basis of one share of Class A Common
Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock converted. Each share of Class B
Common Stock will also automatically convert into one share of Class A Common
Stock if, on the record date of any meeting of the shareholders, the number of
shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding is less than 10% of the
aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
then outstanding.

NOTE 7 -- CAPITAL STOCK - (CONTINUED)
The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized, without further
shareholder action, to divide any or all shares of the authorized Preferred
Stock into series and fix and determine the designations, preferences and
relative rights and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereon of
any series so established, including voting powers, dividend rights,

On November 4, 1996 the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of its newly created
Class A Common Stock in an underwritten public offering (the "Offering"). The
price to the public was $20 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from
the sale of the stock sold by the Company in the Offering were approximately
$74.3 million, after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and
expenses of the Offering. Approximately $7.8 million of the net proceeds of
this Offering was used to repay borrowings incurred under one of the Company's
lines of credit in September 1996. The Company used approximately $3.1
million of the net proceeds to acquire the 50% interest it did not already own
in Watkins Glen International, Inc., $43.9 million to acquire Phoenix
International Raceway and $16.2 million for equity investments in Homestead-
Miami Speedway, LLC and Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, Inc. The
remaining net proceeds were used for working capital and other general
corporate purposes, including continued improvements to and expansion of the
Company's facilities and operations. Pending such uses, the Company had
invested the net proceeds of the Offering in short-term interest-bearing
obligations.
No shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding. See also Note 1--Basis of
Presentation.
NOTE 8 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. In 1985, International Speedway Corporation ("ISC") established a salary
incentive plan designed to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Employees of ISC and certain participating subsidiaries who have
completed 1,000 hours and 12 months continuous service are eligible to
participate in the plan. Matching contributions are made to a savings trust
(subject to certain limits) concurrent with employees' contributions. The
level of the matching contribution depends upon the amount of the employee
contribution. Employees become 100% vested upon entrance to the plan.
The contribution expense for the plan was approximately $228,000, $307,000,
$85,000 and $376,000 for the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1996, for the

C. On October 21, 1996, Americrown was served with a Class Action
Complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Talladega County, Alabama by Howard
Padgett, Bill Lutz and Tommy Jones. The complaint was filed in September 1996
and alleged, among other things, that Americrown engaged in price-fixing
activities in connection with the sale of racing souvenirs and merchandise at
the Talladega Superspeedway. The complaint seeks at least $500 for each
member of the putative class (persons buying racing souvenirs at Talladega
Superspeedway since September 1992), but does not otherwise seek to recover
compensatory or punitive damages or statutory attorneys' fees. Although
Americrown attempted to remove the suit to Federal District Court, it was
remanded to the Circuit Court of Talladega County, Alabama, where discovery
and the class certification process are proceeding. Americrown disputes the
allegations and intends to defend the action fully and vigorously.
In March 1997, two purported class action companion lawsuits were filed in
the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia, against the
Company, Americrown, and a number of other persons alleging, in substance,
that the defendants unlawfully conspired to fix prices of souvenirs and
merchandise sold to consumers in violation of federal antitrust laws. One
suit was filed by Florida residents and the other suit was filed by Georgia
residents. Both suits seek damages and injunctive relief on behalf of all
persons who purchased souvenirs or merchandise from certain vendors at any
NASCAR Winston Cup Series stock car race or supporting event in the United
States during the period 1991 to present. The two suits have been
consolidated and the court has established a timetable to consider class
certification. Discovery is proceeding. The Company and Americrown dispute
the allegations and intend to defend the actions fully and vigorously.
Management is presently unable to predict or quantify the outcome of these
matters.
NOTE 9 -- RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES AND TRANSACTIONS
All of the racing events that take place during the Company's fiscal year
are sanctioned by various racing organizations such as the American Historic
Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA), the American Motorcyclist Association
(AMA), the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA), the Championship Cup
Series (CCS), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the
Federation Internationale Motocycliste (FIM), the International Race of
Champions (IROC), the Indy Racing League (IRL), the National Association for

the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA), the United States Auto Club
(USAC), the United States Road Racing Championship (USRRC), and the World
Karting Association (WKA). NASCAR, which sanctions some of the Company's
principal racing events, is a member of the France Family Group which controls
in excess of 55% of the outstanding stock of the Company and some members of
which serve as directors and officers. Standard NASCAR sanction agreements
require racetrack operators to pay sanction fees and prize and point fund
monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies

are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Prize and point fund
monies paid by the Company to NASCAR for disbursement to competitors totaled
approximately $10.1, $11.6 and $17.0 million for the years ended August 31,
1995, 1996 and November 30, 1997, respectively. For the three month period
ended November 30, 1996, monies paid by the Company to NASCAR for
disbursements to competitors totaled approximately $1.1 million.
In October 1995, the Company entered into collateral assignment
split-dollar insurance agreements covering the lives of William C. France and
James C. France and their respective spouses. Pursuant to the agreements, the
Company will advance the annual premiums of approximately $1,205,000 each year
for a period of eight years. Upon surrender of the policies or payment of the
death benefits thereunder, the Company is entitled to repayment of an amount
equal to the cumulative premiums previously paid by the Company. The Company
may cause the agreements to be terminated and the policies surrendered at any
time after the cash surrender value of the policies equals the cumulative
premiums advanced under the agreements. The Company recorded a net insurance
expense of approximately $450,000 and $38,000, representing the excess of the
premiums paid over the increase in cash surrender value of the policies
associated with these agreements for the year ended August 31, 1996, and the
three months ended November 30, 1996, respectively. During the year ended
November 30, 1997, premiums paid were approximately equal to the increase in
the cash surrender value of the policies.
Poe & Brown, Inc., the servicing agent for the split-dollar insurance
agreements, received a commission from an insurance company for its
participation in the transactions. J. Hyatt Brown, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Poe & Brown, Inc., is a Director of the Company.

NOTE 11 -- LONG-TERM INCENTIVE RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
In November 1993, the Company's Board of Directors and a majority of the
Company shareholders approved a Long-term Incentive Restricted Stock Plan (the
"Plan") for certain officers and managers of the Company. Under the Plan, up
to 750,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock were authorized to be
granted as restricted stock at no cost to Plan participants. Shares awarded
under the Plan vest at the rate of 50% of each award on the third anniversary
of the award date and the remaining 50% on the fifth anniversary of the award
date. Shares awarded under the Plan generally are subject to forfeiture in the
event of termination of employment prior to the vesting dates. The Plan
participants own the shares and may vote and receive dividends, but are
subject to restrictions under the Plan. Restrictions include the prohibition
of the sale or transfer of the shares during the period prior to vesting of
the shares. The Company also has a right of first refusal to purchase any
shares of stock issued under the Plan which are offered for sale.
On January 1, 1995, 1996 and 1997, a total of 70,410, 102,075 and 98,010
restricted shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, respectively, were
awarded to certain officers and managers. The market value of shares on
January 1, 1995, 1996 and 1997 amounted to approximately $489,000, $1,600,000,
and $1,985,000 respectively, and has been recorded as "Unearned compensation
- -- restricted stock", which is shown as a separate component of shareholders'
equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unearned
compensation is being amortized over the vesting periods of the shares. The
total expense charged against operations during the years ended August 31,
1995, and 1996, for the three month period ended November 30, 1996 and the
year ended November 30, 1997 was approximately $318,000, $606,000, $122,000
and $1,063,000, respectively. In accordance with APB 25, the Company will
recognize a compensation charge over the vesting periods equal to the fair
market value of these shares on the date awarded. The SFAS No. 123 expense is
equal to the APB 25 expense.
In September 1996, the Company and the Board of Directors adopted a new
Long-term Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan") for certain employees and
consultants of the Company. Under the 1996 Plan up to 1,000,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock may be granted as stock options (incentive and
nonstatutory), stock appreciation rights (SARS) and restricted stock. No
grants have been made under the 1996 Plan.

NOTE 13 -- QUARTERLY DATA (UNAUDITED)
The Company derives most of its income from event admissions and related
revenue from a limited number of NASCAR-sanctioned races. As a result, the
Company's business has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal based
on the timing of major race events. For example, the Darlington Southern
500 is traditionally held on the Sunday preceding Labor Day. Accordingly, the
revenue and expenses for that race and/or certain of its supporting events may
be recognized in either the fiscal quarter ending August 31 or the fiscal
quarter ending November 30. Partly in response to this seasonality and the
desire to better conform to the traditional racing season, the Company changed
its fiscal year end from August 31 to November 30 effective December 1, 1996.
This resulted in a three-month transition period commencing September 1, 1996
and ending November 30, 1996.
Historically, the Company has incurred net losses in the fiscal quarter
ending November 30, and achieved its highest net income in the fiscal quarter
ending February 28. In fiscal 1997, the Company had net income for the
quarter ended November 30. This was primarily due to the acquisition of
Phoenix, which resulted in the addition of a NASCAR Winston Cup Series event
in the quarter ending November 30, and the date change for the Company's
DieHard 500 race, which moved the event from the quarter ended August 31 to
the quarter ended November 30.
The following table presents certain unaudited financial data for each
fiscal quarter of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997 and for the transition quarter
ended November 30, 1996 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
The Company's Executive Officer Compensation is overseen by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which is composed entirely of
independent directors.
PHILOSOPHY AND POLICIES. Executive Officer Compensation is structured and
administered to offer competitive compensation based on the Executive
Officer's contribution and personal performance in support of the Company's
strategic plan and business mission.
In 1989, based upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the
Company retained TPF&C to perform a salary study to determine benchmark salary
ranges. TPF&C made recommendations to the Company concerning salary ranges and
a bonus structure. The recommendations were followed in establishing the
corporate compensation plan which is reviewed and reevaluated every year. As
part of the overall compensation plan the Company's Executive Officers are
grouped in structured pay grades based upon job responsibility and
description. Each grade has an established range for annual salary. The
salary ranges for each grade were originally established based upon the TPF&C
salary study and have been reevaluated and adjusted annually by the
Compensation Committee based upon changes in market conditions and Company
performance factors.
CORPORATE PERFORMANCE MEASURES USED TO
DETERMINE EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION.
Based on Company performance (determined subjectively by the Committee in
accordance with the sound business judgment of its members after consideration
of earnings per share, revenue growth and established salary ranges, the
Committee established a total pool of dollars which was used to provide for
increases in annual salary compensation to all employees including the
Executive Officers other than the Chairman/CEO and President/COO. The
Compensation Committee recommended a proposed salary for the Chairman/CEO and
President/COO to the entire Board of Directors (other than the Chairman/CEO
and President/COO) which approved the salaries as recommended.
SALARY COMPENSATION. All other Executive Officers' annual salaries were
set by the Chairman/CEO and President/COO who were given the authority to set
all salaries other than their own so long as (1) the total pool of available
dollars allocated for annual salary compensation for Executive Officers was
not exceeded and (2) provided each Executive Officer's annual salary was
within the established range for the salary grade. In setting Executive
Officer salaries the Chairman/CEO and President/COO considered (1) Company
performance as measured against management goals approved by the Board of
Directors, (2) personal performance in support of Company goals as measured by
annual evaluation criteria, and (3) intangible factors and criteria such as
payments by competitors for similar positions although no particular weighting
of the factors or formula was used.
In recommending the annual salaries of the Chairman/CEO and President/COO,
the Committee considered similar criteria as well as the Committee members'
assessment of the Company's financial size and condition.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The Company has an Annual Incentive Compensation
Plan for Management in which the Executive Officers participate. As a result
Executive Officer Compensation is significantly at risk. Incentive
compensation for Executive Officers can be as high as 29% of total annual
compensation.
Each Executive Officer is assigned a target bonus opportunity based on
corporate and personal goals for the year. The actual bonus for each
Executive Officer will range from 0% to 125% of the target depending upon
results of corporate and personal performance during the year. The current
corporate financial measurements are earnings per share and revenue growth.
These may vary from year to year as established by the Compensation Committee.
Personal performance factors are based on individual (functional) objectives
and are tailored for each Executive Officer. A portion of each Executive
Officer's incentive award will be based upon the Chairman/CEO and
President/COO's discretionary judgment of the individual's overall performance
during the plan year.
The incentive compensation for the Chairman/CEO and President/COO is,
again, proposed by the Compensation Committee and presented to the full Board
of Directors for ratification.
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN COMPENSATION
1994 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN. In 1993, based upon recommendation of
the Compensation Committee, the Company retained the HayGroup to assist in the
design of a long term incentive compensation plan for specified key employees,
which is known as the "International Speedway Corporation 1994 Long-Term
Incentive Plan" (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan was recommended by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, unanimously approved by all
outside directors and ratified by the entire Board of Directors on November
17, 1993. It was approved by the written consent of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of the Company on the same date. The purpose of the
1994 Plan was to attract and retain qualified and competent executives by
providing significant opportunities for capital accumulation and to enhance
the growth and profitability of International Speedway Corporation (the
"Company") by focusing on long-term goals and creation of increases in
shareholder value. The 1994 Plan set aside restricted stock in the amount of
50,000 old pre 15-1 split shares of common stock for its implementation, which
were converted, on the 15-1 basis, into 750,000 shares of Class B Common
Stock. Awards of restricted shares of stock were assigned to officers and key
employees who were capable of having a significant impact on the performance
of the Company. The amount of shares for each initial participant was based
primarily on an analysis and recommendations by compensation specialists of
the HayGroup. Awards were granted based upon Company performance in fiscal
years 1994, 1995 and 1996. The ability to issue additional shares under the
1994 Plan expired after the grants based on fiscal 1996 results. The
restricted shares were granted to participants each year based upon the
Company's performance as measured against annual financial goals established
in advance by the Board of Directors. Several aspects of the 1994 Plan and
its implementation are subject to the discretion of the Compensation
Committee.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The shares which were granted under the 1994 Plan are initially restricted
and do not immediately vest to the participant, but, instead carry a continued
employment restriction of 3 years on 50% of the grant and 5 years on the other
50% of the grant. If employment ends prior to the expiration of the vesting
period for reasons acceptable to the Compensation Committee (death,
disability, retirement, etc.) the Company may determine to vest all or a
portion of the unvested and unearned restricted shares. Termination of
employment for any other reason will result in forfeiture of all unvested and
unearned shares.
Prior to vesting the participant may vote the shares and receive dividends
on the restricted shares as granted. Prior to vesting the certificates for
the restricted shares are held in escrow by the Company. After vesting the
certificates for the restricted shares will be delivered to the participant.
The Company has the right of first refusal to buy any stock issued (and
vested) under the 1994 Plan which any participant wishes to sell.
1996 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company's 1996 Long-term Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan") was adopted
by the Board of Directors in September 1996. The purpose of the 1996 Plan is
to attract and retain key employees and consultants of the Company, to provide
an incentive for them to achieve long-range performance goals, and to enable
them to participate in the long-term growth of the Company.
The 1996 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options (incentive and
nonstatutory), stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and restricted stock to
employees and consultants of the Company capable of contributing to the
Company's performance. The Company has reserved an aggregate of 1,000,000
shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar capital changes) of
Class A Common Stock for grants under the 1996 Plan. Incentive Stock Options
may be granted only to employees eligible to receive them under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1996, as amended.
The Board of Directors has appointed the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee") to administer the 1996 Plan. Awards under the 1996 Plan will
contain such terms and conditions consistent with the 1996 Plan as the
Committee in its discretion approves.
The Committee has discretion to administer the 1996 Plan in the manner which
it determines, from time to time, is in the best interest of the Company. For
example, the Committee will fix the terms of stock options, SARs and
restricted stock grants and determine whether, in the case of options and
SARs, they may be exercised immediately or at a later date or dates. Awards
may also be granted subject to conditions relating to continued employment
and restrictions on transfer. In addition, the Committee may provide, at the
time an award is made or at any time thereafter, for the acceleration of a
participant's rights or cash settlement upon a change in control of the
Company. The terms and conditions of awards need not be the same for each
participant. The foregoing examples illustrate, but do not limit, the manner
in which the Committee may exercise its authority in administering the 1996
Plan. In addition, all questions of interpretation of the 1996 Plan will be
determined by the Committee.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The first awards under the 1996 Plan will be made in April 1998, based upon
fiscal 1997 results. The amount of the awards are based upon the Company's
performance as measured against annual financial goals established in advance
by the Board of Directors. These awards will be restricted shares of Class A
Common Stock and will be initially restricted and will not immediately vest to
the participant, but, instead carry a continued employment restriction of 3
years on 50% of the grant and 5 years on the other 50% of the grant. If
employment ends prior to the expiration of the vesting period for reasons
acceptable to the Compensation Committee (death, disability, retirement, etc.)
the Company may determine to vest all or a portion of the unvested and
unearned restricted shares. Termination of employment for any other reason
will result in forfeiture of all unvested and unearned shares.
Prior to vesting the participant may vote the shares and receive dividends
on the restricted shares as granted. Prior to vesting the certificates for
the restricted shares will be held in escrow by the Company. After vesting the
certificates for the restricted shares will be delivered to the participant.
The Company has the right of first refusal to buy any stock issued (and
vested) under the 1996 Plan which any participant wishes to sell.
COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT SPLIT-DOLLAR INSURANCE
In October 1995, based upon evaluation and recommendation of the
Compensation Committee, the Company entered into collateral assignment split-
dollar insurance agreements covering the lives of the Chairman/CEO, the
President/COO and their respective spouses. Pursuant to the agreements, the
Company will advance annual premiums of approximately $1,205,000 each year for
a period of eight years. Upon surrender of the policies or payment of the
death benefits thereunder, the Company is entitled to the repayment of an
amount equal to the cumulative premiums paid by the Company. Although
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules require disclosure of the
entire premium advanced by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table, the
Compensation Committee determined the compensation aspect of the plan was
actually less than the total premium because of the repayment requirement and
represented reasonable and appropriate compensation to the covered executives,
when considered in light of their total compensation package.
CHAIRMAN/CEO COMPENSATION BASES. The Compensation Committee determined a
15% increase in Chairman/CEO compensation was appropriate in light of the
continued growth in earnings per share in 1996.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") require the
Company to provide a line graph covering at least the last five fiscal years
and comparing the yearly percentage change in the Company's total shareholder
return on common stock with the cumulative total return of a broad equity
index assuming reinvestment of dividends and the cumulative total return,
assuming reinvestment of dividends, of a published industry or
line-of-business index; peer issuers selected in good faith; or issuers with
similar market capitalization. The graph below compares the cumulative total
five year return of the Company's common stock (upon the assumption that an
original $100 investment was made in pre-split common stock which
automatically converted to Class B Common Stock on November 4, 1996) with that
of the index of all NASDAQ stocks and with the 40 NASDAQ issues listed in SIC
codes 7900-7999, which encompasses service businesses in the amusement, sports
and recreation industry, which includes indoor operations which are not
subject to the impact of weather on operations and pari-mutual and other
wagering operations. The Company conducts large outdoor sporting and
entertainment events which are subject to the impact of weather, and is not
involved in pari-mutual or other wagering. The stock price shown has been
estimated from the high and low prices for each quarter for which the close is
not available. Because of the unique nature of the Company's business and the
fact that only short-term public information is available concerning a limited
number of companies involved in the same line of business, and no public
information is available concerning other companies in that line of business,
the Company does not believe that the information presented below is
meaningful.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
NASCAR, which sanctions most of the Company's major racing events, is
controlled by William C. France and James C. France. Standard NASCAR sanction
agreements require racetrack operators to pay various monies to NASCAR for
each sanction event conducted. Included are sanction fees and prize and point
fund monies. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to
participants in the events. The aggregate NASCAR sanction fees and prize and
point fund monies paid by the Company with respect to fiscal 1995, 1996 and
1997 were $11.8 million, $13.9 million, and $20.6 million, respectively.
In addition, NASCAR and the Company share a variety of expenses in the
ordinary course of business. NASCAR pays rent to the Company for office space
based upon estimated fair market lease rates for comparable facilities. NASCAR
also reimburses the Company for 50% of the compensation paid to personnel
working in the Company's legal and risk management departments, as well as 50%
of the compensation expense associated with receptionists and the Company's
archive departments. The Company's payments to NASCAR for MRN Radio's
broadcast rights to Craftsman Truck Series races represents an agreed-upon
percentage of the Company's advertising revenues attributable to such race
broadcasts. NASCAR's reimbursement for use of the Company's mail room,
graphics and publications departments, and the Company's reimbursement of
NASCAR for use of corporate aircraft, is based on actual usage. The aggregate
amount paid by the Company to NASCAR for shared expenses, net of the amounts
received from NASCAR for shared expenses, totaled approximately $71,000,
$359,000, and $720,000 during fiscal 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The
Company strives to ensure, and management believes that, the terms of the
Company's transactions with NASCAR are no less favorable to the Company than
could be obtained in arms'-length negotiations.
J. Hyatt Brown, a director of the Company, serves as President and Chief
Executive Officer of Poe & Brown, Inc. ("Poe"). Poe has received commissions
for serving as the Company's insurance broker for several of the Company's
insurance policies, including its property and casualty policy, certain
employee benefit programs and the split-dollar arrangements established for
the benefit of William C. France, James C. France and their respective
spouses. The aggregate commissions received by Poe in connection with Company
policies were approximately $80,000, $294,000 and $166,000 during fiscal 1995,
1996 and 1997, respectively.
All of these transactions, payments and exchanges are considered normal
in the ordinary course of business. Transactions, payments and exchanges
similar to all of the above are planned during the Company's current fiscal
year.

Stock and, with respect to each class or series of the Preferred Stock, to fix
and state, by resolution or resolutions from time to time adopted providing
for the issuance thereof, the following:
(a) whether or not the class or series is to have voting
rights, full or limited, or is to be without voting rights;
(b) the number of shares to constitute the class or
series and the designations thereof;
(c) the preferences and relative, participating, optional or
other special rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, if any, with respect to any class or series;
(d) whether or not the shares of any class or series shall
be redeemable and if redeemable the redemption price or prices, and the time
or times at which and the terms and conditions upon which, such shares shall
be redeemable and the manner of redemption;
(e) whether or not the shares of a class or series shall be
subject to the operation of retirement or sinking funds to be applied to the
purchase or redemption of such shares for retirement, and if such retirement
or sinking fund or funds be established, the annual amount thereof and the
terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof;
(f) the dividend rate, whether dividends are payable in
cash, stock of the Corporation or other property, the conditions upon which

rate or rates at which such conversion or exchange may be made, with such
adjustments, if any, as shall be stated and expressed or provided for in such
resolution or resolutions; and
(i) such other special rights and protective provisions with
respect to any class or series as the Board may deem advisable.
The shares of each class or series of the Preferred Stock may vary from
the shares of any other class or series thereof in any or all of the foregoing
respects. The Board may increase the number of shares of Preferred Stock
designated for any existing class or series by a resolution adding to such
class or series authorized and unissued shares of the Preferred Stock not
designated for any other class or series. The Board may decrease the number of
shares of the Preferred Stock designated for any existing class or series by a
resolution, subtracting from such series unissued shares of the Preferred
Stock designated for such class or series, and the shares so subtracted shall
become authorized, unissued and undesignated shares of the Preferred Stock.
C. PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE COMMON STOCK. The Common Stock shall be
subject to the express terms of the Preferred Stock and any class or series
thereof. The powers, preferences and rights of the Class A Common Stock and
the Class B Common Stock and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions
thereof, shall in all respects be identical, except as otherwise required by
law or as expressly provided in this Section C.
1. VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise required by law or as may be
provided by the resolutions of the Board authorizing the issuance of any class
or series of the Preferred Stock, as hereinabove provided, all rights to vote
and all voting power shall be vested exclusively in the holders of the Common
Stock. The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
shall have the following voting rights:
(a) the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to
one-fifth (1/5th) vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held
on all matters voted upon by the shareholders of the Corporation
and shall vote together with the holders of Class B Common Stock
and together with the holders of any other classes or series of
stock who are entitled to vote in such manner and not as a
separate class; and
(b) the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to
one (1) vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held on all
matters voted upon by the shareholders of the Corporation and
shall vote together with the holders of Class A Common Stock and
together with the holders of any other classes or series of stock
who are entitled to vote in such manner and not as a separate
class.
2. DIVIDENDS. Subject to the rights of the holders of the
Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available
therefor, dividends and other distributions payable in cash, property, stock
(including shares of any class or series of the Corporation, whether or not
shares of such class or series are already outstanding) or otherwise. Each
share of Class A Common Stock and each share of Class B Common Stock shall
have identical rights with respect to dividends and distributions subject to
the following:
(a) a dividend or distribution in Common Stock on Class B
Common Stock may be paid or made in shares of Class A Common Stock
or shares of Class B Common Stock or a combination of both;
(b) a dividend or distribution in Common Stock on Class A
Common Stock may be paid only in shares of Class A Common Stock;
(c) a dividend or distribution with respect to Common Stock
payable in shares of the Corporation's capital stock may be paid
or made only in shares of Common Stock;
(d) whenever a dividend or distribution is payable in shares
of Class B Common Stock and/or Class A Common Stock, the number of
shares of Common Stock payable as a dividend or distribution per
each share of Common Stock shall be equal in number; and
(e) a dividend or distribution on Class B Common Stock which
is paid or made in shares of Class B Common Stock shall be
considered identical to a dividend or distribution on Class A
Common Stock which is paid or made in a proportionate number of
shares of Class A Common Stock.
3. CONVERSION.
(a) OPTIONAL CONVERSION. Each share of Class B Common Stock
may from time to time, at the option of the holder of record thereof and
without payment of any consideration, be converted into one fully paid and
nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock (an "Optional Conversion")(i) upon
the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) if the shares of Class A Common
Stock to be issued upon such conversion are to be offered pursuant to the
Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) otherwise commencing
on the 91st day after the Effective Date. Any holder of any share of Class B
Common Stock may effect a conversion by surrendering such holder's certificate
r certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock to be
converted, duly endorsed, during normal business hours at the office of the
Corporation or any transfer agent for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent"),
together with a written notice that the holder elects to convert all or a
specified whole number of shares of Class B Common Stock and stating the name
or names in which such holder desires the certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued. If so required
by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, any certificate for shares
surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in
form satisfactory to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, duly executed by
the holder of such shares or the duly authorized representative of such
holder, together with funds for the payment of any transfer tax required
pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Subsection 3. In the event that any shares
of Class B Common Stock tendered for conversion are subject to restrictions
upon transfer noted in a legend on the certificates representing such shares,
the Corporation and the Transfer Agent shall require the holder of such shares
to submit, as a condition to the conversion of such Class B Common Stock into
Class A Common Stock, satisfactory evidence that the proposed conversion will
not violate any of the noted restrictions upon transfer of such shares.
(b) MANDATORY CONVERSION. If, on the record date for any
meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock then outstanding constitutes less than 10% of the aggregate
number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding,
as determined by the Board, then each share of Class B Common Stock then
issued or outstanding shall thereupon be converted automatically as of such
record date into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common
Stock and will have one-fifth vote per share at such meeting (a "Mandatory
Conversion"). Upon making such determination, notice of such automatic
conversion shall be given by the Corporation as soon as practicable, but no
later than the next meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, by means of a
press release and written notice to all holders of Class B Common Stock, and
the Secretary of the Corporation shall be instructed to and shall promptly
request that each holder of Class B Common Stock promptly deliver, and each
such holder shall promptly deliver, the certificate or certificates
representing each share of such Class B Common Stock to the Corporation or the
Transfer Agent. If so required by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, any
certificate for shares surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation or the
Transfer Agent, duly executed by the holder of such shares or the duly
authorized representative of such holder, together with funds for the
payment of any transfer tax required pursuant to paragraph (f) of this
Subsection 3.
(c) ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING CLASS A COMMON
STOCK; EFFECTIVENESS OF CONVERSION. As promptly as practicable following the
surrender for conversion of a certificate representing shares of Class B
Common Stock in the manner provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Subsection
3, as applicable, any required instruments of transfer and the payment in cash
of any amount required by the provisions of paragraph (f) of this Subsection
3, the Corporation shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered
to such holder or such holder's nominee or nominees, a certificate or
certificates representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued
upon such conversion in such name or names as such holder may direct. In the
case of an Optional Conversion, if any shares of Class B Common Stock of such
holder represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion are not
converted, a new certificate or certificates representing such shares of Class
B Common Stock shall be issued and delivered to such holder or its nominee or
nominees with the certificate or certificates representing shares of Class A
Common Stock. Optional Conversions shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of receipt by the
Corporation or the Transfer Agent of the certificate or certificates
representing the relevant shares of Class B Common Stock and the related
written notice. Mandatory Conversions shall be deemed to have been effected on
record date for the relevant shareholders meeting on which the condition set
forth in paragraph (b) of this Subsection 3 is determined by the Board to have
occurred. Upon the date any conversion is deemed effected, all rights of the
holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock so converted, as the holder of
such shares, shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names the
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class A Common Stock
are issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record
holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock on that date;
provided, however, that if any surrender and payment pursuant to a Mandatory
Conversion occurs on any date when the stock transfer books of the Corporation
shall be closed, the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate
or certificates representing shares of Class A Common Stock are issued shall
be deemed the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes on the next
succeeding day on which the stock transfer books are open.
(d) ADJUSTMENTS. No adjustments in respect of dividends
shall be made upon the Optional Conversion or Mandatory Conversion of any
shares of Class B Common Stock; provided, however, that if a share of Class B
Common Stock shall be converted subsequent to the record date for the payment
of a dividend or other distribution on Class B Common Stock but prior to such
payment, then the registered holder of such share of Class B Common Stock at
the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the
dividend or other distribution payable on such share of Class B Common Stock
on such date notwithstanding the Optional Conversion or Mandatory Conversion
thereof or the Corporation's default in payment of the dividend due on such
date.
(e) AVAILABILITY OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK FOR CONVERSION;
REGISTRATION. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available
out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for
the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B
Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall be
issuable upon the conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock then
outstanding, in addition to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then
outstanding. If any shares of Class A Common Stock require registration with
or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law
before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Corporation shall cause
such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The
Corporation shall endeavor to use its best efforts to list the shares of Class
A Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion prior to such delivery upon
each national securities exchange upon which the outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery. All shares of Class A
Common Stock that shall be issued upon conversion of the fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Class B Common Stock shall, upon issue, be fully paid
and nonassessable.
(f) CHARGES, PAYMENT OF TAXES UPON CONVERSION. The issuance
of certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of Class B Common Stock shall be made without charge to the
converting holder; provided, however, that if any certificate is to be issued
in a name other than that of the record holder of the shares being converted,
the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate
unless and until the person requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to
the Corporation the amount of any tax that may be payable with respect to any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of such certificate or has
established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been
paid.
(g) REISSUANCE OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK. Shares of Class B
Common Stock that are converted into Class A Common Stock as provided herein
shall continue to be part of the authorized Class B Common Stock and shall be
available for reissue by the Corporation.
4. SPLITS OR COMBINATIONS. If the Corporation shall in any manner
split, subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or
Class B Common Stock, then the outstanding shares of the other such class of
Common Stock shall be proportionately split, subdivided or combined in the
same manner and on the same basis as the outstanding shares of the class that
has been split, subdivided or combined.
5. MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATIONS. In the event of a merger,
consolidation or combination of the Corporation with another entity (whether
or not the Corporation is the surviving entity), the holders of Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the same per share
consideration in that transaction, except that any common stock that holders
of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive in any such event may differ
as to voting rights and otherwise to the extent and only the extent that the
Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock differ as set forth in this
Section C.
6. LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTIONS. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after the
holders of the Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full the amounts to
which they shall be entitled, if any, or a sum sufficient or such payment in
full shall have been set aside, the remaining net assets of the Corporation,
if any, shall be divided among and paid ratably to the holders of Class A
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock treated as a single class.
7. SALES AND REPURCHASES. The Board shall have the power to cause
the Corporation to issue and sell shares of either class of Common Stock to
such individuals, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies,
associations, corporations, trusts or other legal entities (collectively,
"persons") and for such consideration as the Board shall from time to time in
its discretion determine, whether or not greater consideration could be
received upon the issue or sale of the same number of shares of the other
class of Common Stock, and as otherwise permitted by law. The Board shall have
the power to cause the Corporation to purchase, out of funds legally available
therefor, shares of either class of Common Stock from such persons and for
such consideration as the Board shall from time to time in its discretion
determine, whether or not less consideration could be paid upon the purchase
of the same number of shares of the other class of Common Stock, and as
otherwise permitted by law.
D. SHARE RECLASSIFICATION. Immediately prior to the effective date (the
"Effective Date") of the Corporation's Registration Statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-11541), relating to a proposed underwritten public offering of
Class A Common Stock and initially filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 6, 1996 (the "Registration Statement"), each
outstanding share of the Corporation's Existing Common Stock shall thereby and
thereupon, automatically and without any action by the holder, be reclassified
and converted into 15 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Class B Common Stock. Each certificate that theretofore represented shares of
Existing Common Stock shall thereafter represent the number of shares of Class
B Common Stock into which the shares of Existing Common Stock represented by
such certificate were reclassified and converted hereby; provided, however,
that each person holding of record a stock certificate or certificates that
represented shares of Existing Common Stock shall receive, upon surrender of
each such certificate or certificates, a new certificate or certificates
evidencing and representing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to
which such person is entitled. Upon consummation of the reclassification of
the Existing Common Stock of the Corporation provided for in this Section D
(the "Reclassification"), the holders of the Class B Common Stock of the
Corporation shall have all rights accorded them by law and these Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation. The issuance of certificates representing
shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon the Reclassification shall be
made without charge to the holders of Existing Common Stock; provided,
however, that if any certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of
the record holder of the shares of Existing Common Stock being reclassified
pursuant to the Reclassification, the Corporation shall not be required to
issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person requesting
the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of any tax
that may be payable with respect to any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of such certificate or has established to the satisfaction of the
Corporation that such tax has been paid. If so required by the Corporation or
the Transfer Agent, any certificate for shares of Existing Common Stock
surrendered in connection with the Reclassification shall be accompanied by
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation or the
Transfer Agent, duly executed by the holder of such shares or the duly
authorized representative of such holder, together with funds for the payment
of any transfer tax required as set forth above. As promptly as practicable
following the surrender of a certificate representing shares of Class B Common
Stock in the foregoing manner, any required instruments of transfer and the
payment in cash of any amount for the payment of any transfer tax, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to
such holder or such holder's nominee or nominees, a certificate or
certificates representing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock issued
upon the Reclassification to which such holder is entitled, in such name or
names as such holder may direct.

ARTICLE VI
A. NUMBER AND TERM OF DIRECTORS. The Corporation's Board shall consist
of not less than five (5) nor more than fifteen (15) members, with the exact
number to be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board. No decrease
in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any
incumbent director. The Board shall be divided into three classes, Class I,
Class II and Class III with the directors of each class to be elected for a
staggered term of three years and to serve until their successors are duly
elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, death or removal
from office. The number of directors elected to each class shall be as nearly
equal in number as possible. The Board shall apportion any increase or
decrease in the number of directorships among the classes so as to make the
number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible.
B. DIRECTOR VACANCIES; REMOVAL. Whenever any vacancy on the Board shall
occur due to death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal,
increase in the number of directors or otherwise, a majority of directors in
office, although less than a quorum of the entire Board, may fill the vacancy
or vacancies for the balance of the unexpired term or terms, at which time a
successor or successors shall be duly elected by the shareholders and
qualified. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other Article herein, only
the remaining directors of the Corporation shall have the authority, in
accordance with the procedure stated above, to fill any vacancy that exists on
the Board for the balance of the unexpired term or terms. The Company's
shareholders shall not, and shall have no power to, fill any vacancy on the
Board. Shareholders may remove a director from office prior to the expiration
of his or her term, with or without "cause," by an affirmative vote of a
majority of all votes entitled to be case for the election of directors.
C. SHAREHOLDER NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTOR CANDIDATES. Only persons who are
nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for
election as directors of the Corporation. Nominations of persons for election
to the Board at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be made by or
at the direction of the Board by any nominating committee or person appointed
by the Board or by any shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the
election of directors at such meeting who complies with the procedures set
forth in this Section C; provided, however, that nominations of persons for
election to the Board at a special meeting may be made only if the election of
directors is one of the purposes described in the special meeting notice
required by Section 607.0705 of the Florida Business Corporation Act.
Nominations of persons for election at a special meeting, other than
nominations made by or at the direction of the Board, shall be made pursuant
to notice in writing delivered to or mailed and received at the principal
executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on
the fifth (5th) day following the date on which notice of such meeting is
given to shareholders or made public, whichever first occurs. Nominations of
persons for election at an annual meeting, other than nominations made by or
at the direction of the Board, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in
writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's
notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) days nor
more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the first anniversary of the
date of the Corporation's notice of annual meeting provided with respect to
the previous year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if no annual
meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has
been changed to be more than thirty (30) calendar days earlier than the date
contemplated by the previous year's notice of annual meeting, such notice by
the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered or received not later than
the close of business on the fifth (5th) day following the date on which
notice of the date of the annual meeting is given to shareholders or made
public, whichever first occurs. Such shareholder's notice to the Secretary
shall set forth the following information: (a) as to each person whom the
shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director at
the annual meeting, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address
of the proposed nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the
proposed nominee, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the
Corporation which are beneficially owned by the proposed nominee, and (iv) any
other information relating to the proposed nominee that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to
Rule 14a under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (b) as to
the shareholder giving the notice of nominees for election at the annual
meeting, (i) the name and record address of the shareholder, and (ii) the
class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are
beneficially owned by the shareholder. The Corporation may require any
proposed nominee for election at an annual or special meeting of shareholders
to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the
Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve
as a director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as
a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth herein. The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made
in accordance with the requirements of this Section C, and if he should so
determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination
shall be disregarded.
ARTICLE VII
The Corporation shall indemnify and may advance expenses to its officers
and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law in existence either now
or hereafter.
ARTICLE VIII

law, the Corporation shall not be required to hold a special meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation unless (in addition to any other requirements
of law) (i) the holders of not less than fifty (50) percent of all the votes
entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed
special meeting sign, date and deliver to the Corporation's Secretary one or
more written demands for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for
which it is to be held; (ii the meeting is called by the Board pursuant to a

special shareholders' meeting.
B. ADVANCE NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDER-PROPOSED BUSINESS FOR ANNUAL MEETING.
At an annual meeting of the shareholders, only such business shall be
conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be
properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be either (a)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at
the direction of the Board, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting
by or at the direction of the Board, or (c) otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by a shareholder. In addition to any other applicable
requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by
a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in
writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's
notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation, not less than one hundred twenty (120) days nor
more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the first anniversary of the
date of the Corporation's notice of annual meeting provided with respect to
the previous year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if no annual
meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has
been changed to be more than thirty (30) calendar days earlier than
the date contemplated by the previous year's notice of annual meeting, such
notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered or received not
later than the close of business on the fifth (5th) day following the date on
which notice of the date of the annual meeting is given to shareholders or
made public, whichever first occurs. Such shareholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring

be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such
business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the
shareholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the
shareholder, and (iv) any material interest of the shareholder in such
business. The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought
before the meeting in accordance with the requirements of this Section B, and
if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such
business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, for the purpose of amending and
restating the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation pursuant to the laws of
the State of Florida, has executed these Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation as of September 26, 1996.

(the "Board of Directors") in accordance with applicable law.
Section 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at
such other places, either within or without the State of Florida, as the Board
of Directors may from time to time determine or as the business of the
Corporation may require.
ARTICLE TWO
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Section 1. PLACE. All annual meetings of shareholders shall be held
at such place, within or without the State of Florida, as may be designated by
the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly
executed waiver of notice thereof. Special meetings of shareholders may be
held at such place, within or without the State of Florida, and at such time
as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver
of notice thereof.
Section 2. TIME OF ANNUAL MEETING. Annual meetings of shareholders
shall be held on such date and at such time fixed, from time to time, by the
Board of Directors, provided, that there shall be an annual meeting held every
calendar year at which the shareholders shall elect a board of directors and
transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
Section 3. CALL OF SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the
shareholders shall be held if called in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Corporation's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the
"Articles of Incorporation") for the call of a special meeting of
shareholders.
Section 4. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The Chairman of the Board (or in his
absence, the President or such other designee of the Chairman of the Board)
shall preside at the annual and special meetings of shareholders and shall be
given full discretion in establishing the rules and procedures to be followed
in
conducting the meetings, except as otherwise provided by law or in these
Bylaws.
Section 5. NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Except as otherwise provided
by law, written or printed notice stating the place, date and time of the
meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for
which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor
more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or
by first-class mail or other legally sufficient means, by or at the direction
of the Chairman of the Board, President, the Secretary, or the officer or
person calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at
such meeting. If the notice is mailed at least thirty (30) days before the
date of the meeting, it may be done by a class of United States mail other
than first class. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when
deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at his
address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with
postage thereon prepaid. If a meeting is adjourned to another time and/or
place, and if an announcement of the adjourned time and/or place is made at
the meeting, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned
meeting unless the Board of Directors, after adjournment, fixes a new record
date for the adjourned meeting. Whenever any notice is required to be given to
any shareholder, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons
entitled to such notice, whether signed before, during or after the time of
the meeting stated therein, and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in
the minutes or filing with the corporate records, shall constitute an
effective waiver of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor
the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the shareholders need be
specified in any written waiver of notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of (a) lack of or defective notice of such meeting,
unless the person objects at the beginning to the holding of the meeting or
the transacting of any business at the meeting, or (b) lack of or defective
notice of a particular matter at a meeting that is not within the purpose or
purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the person objects to
considering such matter when it is presented.
Section 6. BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS FOR ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETINGS.
Business transacted at any special meeting shall be confined to the purposes
stated in the notice thereof. At any annual meeting of shareholders, only such
business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
meeting in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in the
Articles of Incorporation. Only such persons who are nominated for election as
directors of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements and
procedures set forth in the Articles of Incorporation shall be eligible for
election as directors of the Corporation.
Section 7. QUORUM. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group
may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares
exists with respect to that matter. Except as otherwise provided in the
Articles of Incorporation or applicable law, shares representing a majority of
the votes pertaining to outstanding shares which are entitled to be cast on
the matter by the voting group constitute a quorum of that voting group for
action on that matter. If less than a quorum of shares are represented at a
meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn
the meeting from time to time. After a quorum has been established at any
shareholders' meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of shareholders, so as to
reduce the number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting below the number
required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at
the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Once a share is represented for any
purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the
remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new
record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
Section 8. VOTING RIGHTS PER SHARE. Each outstanding share,
regardless of class, shall be entitled to vote on each matter submitted to a
vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights
of the shares of any class are limited or denied by or pursuant to the
Articles of Incorporation or the Florida Business Corporation Act.
Section 9. VOTING OF SHARES. A shareholder may vote at any meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing
in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the
officer, agent or proxy designated by the bylaws of such corporate shareholder
or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person or persons as the
board of directors of the corporate shareholder may designate. In the absence
of any such designation, or, in
-2-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
case of conflicting designation by the corporate shareholder, the chairman of
the board, the president, any vice president, the secretary and the treasurer
of the corporate shareholder, in that order, shall be presumed to be fully
authorized to vote such shares. Shares held by an administrator, executor,
guardian, personal representative, or conservator may be voted by him, either
in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares
standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by
proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a
transfer of such shares into his name or the name of his nominee. Shares held
by or under the control of a receiver, a trustee in bankruptcy proceedings, or
an assignee for the benefit of creditors may be voted by such person without
the transfer thereof into his name. If shares stand of record in the names of
two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint
tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or
more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares,
unless the Secretary of the Corporation is given notice to the contrary and is
furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating
the relationship wherein it is so provided, then acts with respect to voting
shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, in person or by proxy,
his act binds all; (b) if more than one vote, in person or by proxy, the act
of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one vote, in person or
by proxy, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction
is entitled to vote the share or shares in question proportionally; or (d) if
the instrument or order so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in
unequal interest, a majority or a vote evenly split for purposes hereof shall
be a majority or a vote evenly split in interest. The principles of this
paragraph shall apply, insofar as possible, to execution of proxies, waivers,
consents, or objections and for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of a
quorum.
Section 10. PROXIES. Any shareholder of the Corporation, other person
entitled to vote on behalf of a shareholder pursuant to law, or
attorney-in-fact for such persons may vote the shareholder's shares in person
or by proxy. Any shareholder of the Corporation may appoint a proxy to vote or
otherwise act for him by signing an appointment form, either personally or by
his attorney-in-fact. An executed telegram or cablegram appearing to have been
transmitted by such person, or a photographic, photostatic, or equivalent
reproduction of an appointment form, shall be deemed a sufficient appointment
form. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary of
the Corporation (the "Secretary") or such other officer or agent which is
authorized to tabulate votes, and shall be valid for up to 11 months, unless a
longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form. The death or
incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of
the Corporation to accept the proxy's authority unless notice of the death or
incapacity is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized
to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his authority under the
appointment. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless
the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the
appointment is coupled with an interest.
Section 11. SHAREHOLDER LIST. After fixing a record date for a
meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of
the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of the meeting,
arranged by voting group with the address of, and the number and class and
series, if any, of shares held by each. The shareholders' list must be
available for inspection by any shareholder for a period of ten (10) days
prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date
and the meeting and continuing through the meeting at the Corporation's
principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city
where the meeting will be held, or at the office of the Corporation's transfer
agent or registrar. Any shareholder of the Corporation or his agent or
attorney is entitled on written demand to inspect the shareholders' list
(subject to the requirements of law), during regular business hours and at his
expense, during the period it is available for inspection. The Corporation
shall make the shareholders' list available at the meeting of shareholders,
and any
-3-
<PAGE>
shareholder or his agent or attorney is entitled to inspect the list at any
time during the meeting or any adjournment. The shareholders' list is prima
facie evidence of the identity of shareholders entitled to examine the
shareholders' list or to vote at a meeting of shareholders.
Section 12. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted
by law to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting
or notice if a consent, or consents, in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, shall be dated and signed by the holders of outstanding stock having
not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize
or take such action at a meeting at which all voting groups and shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted with respect to the subject
matter thereof, and such consent shall be delivered to the Corporation, within
the period required by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation
Act, by delivery to its principal office in the State of Florida, its
principal place of business, the Secretary or another officer or agent of the
Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of
shareholders are recorded. Within ten (10) days after obtaining such
authorization by written consent, notice must be given to those shareholders
who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the
action, in accordance with the requirements of Section 607.0704 of the Florida
Business Corporation Act.
Section 13. FIXING RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders
or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or
in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper
purposes, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date
for any such determination of shareholders, such date in any case to be not
more than seventy (70) days, and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not
less than ten (10) days, before the meeting or action requiring such
determination of shareholders. If no record date is fixed for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders or the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment
of a dividend, the date before the day on which the first notice of the
meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolutions of the Board of
Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the
record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of
shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as
provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment
thereof, except where the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.
Section 14. INSPECTORS AND JUDGES. The Board of Directors in advance
of any meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election
or judges of the vote, as the case may be, to act at the meeting or any
adjournment thereof. If any inspector or inspectors, or judge or judges, are
not appointed, the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint
one or more inspectors or judges. In case any person who may be appointed as
an inspector or judge fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by the
Board of Directors in advance of the meeting, or at the meeting by the person
presiding thereat. The inspectors or judges, if any, shall determine the
number of shares of stock outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares
of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity
and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots and consents, hear and
determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to
vote, count and tabulate votes, ballots and consents, determine the result,
and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness
to all shareholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting, the
inspector or inspectors or judge or judges, if any, shall make a report in
writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by him or them, and
execute a certificate of any fact found by him or them.

Section 15. VOTING FOR DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided in the
Articles of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the

which a quorum is present.
ARTICLE THREE
DIRECTORS
Section 1. NUMBER; TERM; ELECTION; QUALIFICATION. The number of
directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time, within the
limits specified by the Articles of Incorporation, by resolution of the Board
of Directors. Directors shall be elected in the manner and hold office for the
term as prescribed in the Articles of Incorporation. Directors must be natural
persons who are 18 years of age or older but need not be residents of the
State of Florida, shareholders of the Corporation or citizens of the United
States; provided, however, that at all times at least one (1) director shall
be a resident of the State of Florida and a citizen of the United States.
Section 2. RESIGNATION; VACANCIES; REMOVAL. A director may resign at
any time by giving written notice to the Board of Directors or the Chairman of
the Board. Such resignation shall take effect at the date of receipt of such
notice or at any later time specified therein; and unless otherwise specified
therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective. In the event the notice of resignation specifies a later effective
date, the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy (subject to the
provisions of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation) before the
effective date if they provide that the successor does not take office until
the effective date. Director vacancies shall be filled, and directors may be
removed, in the manner prescribed in the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation.
Section 3. POWERS. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall
be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of
the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute
or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these Bylaws directed or required to
be exercised and done by the shareholders.
Section 4. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of the Board of Directors,
regular or special, may be held either within or without the State of Florida.
Section 5. ANNUAL MEETINGS. Unless scheduled for another time by the
Board of Directors, the first meeting of each newly elected Board of Directors
shall be held, without call or notice, immediately following each annual

of Directors may be called by the President or Chairman of the Board and shall
be called by the Secretary on the written request of any two directors. At
least forty-eight (48) hours' prior written notice of the date, time and place
of special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director.
Except as required by law, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of, any regular or special meting of the Board of Directors need be
specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. Notices to
-5-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
directors shall be in writing and delivered to the directors at their
addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation by personal delivery, mail
or other legally sufficient means. Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given
at the time when the same shall be received. Notice to directors may also be
given by telegram, teletype or other form of electronic communication.
Whenever any notice is required to be given to any director, a waiver thereof
in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether
before, during or after the meeting, shall constitute an effective waiver of
such notice. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver
of notice of such meeting and a waiver of any and all objections to the place
of the meeting, the time of the meeting and the manner in which it has been
called or convened, except when a director states, at the beginning of the
meeting or promptly upon arrival at the meeting, any objection to the
transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.
Section 8. QUORUM AND REQUIRED VOTE. A majority of the prescribed
number of directors determined as provided in the Articles of Incorporation
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of the
majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless a greater number is
required by the Articles of Incorporation. Whenever, for any reason, a vacancy
occurs in the Board of Directors, a quorum shall consist of a majority of the
remaining directors until the vacancy has been filled. If a quorum shall not
be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, a majority of the
directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting to another time and place,
without notice other than announcement at the time of adjournment. At such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be
transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified and called.
Section 9. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Any action required or permitted
to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof may be
taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action
taken, is signed by all of the members of the Board of Directors or the
committee, as the case may be, and such consent shall have the same force and
effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting. Action taken under this Section 9 is
effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent
specifies a different effective date. A consent signed under this Section 9
shall have the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any
document.
Section 10. CONFERENCE TELEPHONE OR SIMILAR COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
MEETINGS. Directors and committee members may participate in and hold a
meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment
by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other. Participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at
the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express
purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 11. COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted
by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, may designate from among its
members an executive committee and one or more other committees, each of

all of the authority of the Board of Directors in the business and affairs of
the Corporation except where the action of the full Board of Directors is
required by statute. Each committee must have two or more members who serve at
the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors by resolution
adopted in accordance with this Article Three, may designate one or more
directors as alternate members of any committee, who may act in the place and
stead of any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee.
Vacancies in the membership of a committee may be filled only by the Board of
Directors at a regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. The
executive
-6-
<PAGE>
committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to
the Board of Directors when required. The designation of any such committee
and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board
of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or
him by law.
Section 12. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. The directors may be paid
their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of
Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the
Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall
preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may
be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings. Directors may
receive such other compensation as may be approved by the Board of Directors.

CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES
Section 1. ISSUE OF CERTIFICATES. The shares of the Corporation shall
be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any
or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such
resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such
certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of
such a resolution by the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented
by certificates (and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares) shall
be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the Corporation
by the Chairman of the Board or a Vice Chairman of the Board, or the President
or Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, representing the
number of shares registered in certificate form.
Section 2. LEGENDS FOR PREFERENCES AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. The
designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations applicable to each
class of shares and the variations in rights, preferences and limitations
determined for each series within a class (and the authority of the Board of
Directors to determine variations for future series) shall be summarized on
the front or back of each certificate. Alternatively, each certificate may
state conspicuously on its front or back that the Corporation will furnish the
shareholder a full statement of this information on request and without
charge. Every certificate representing shares that are restricted as to the
sale, disposition, or transfer of such shares shall also indicate that such
shares are restricted as to transfer, and there shall be set forth or fairly
summarized upon the certificate, or the certificate shall indicate that the
Corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a
full statement of such restrictions. If the Corporation issues any shares that
are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or not
registered or qualified under the applicable state securities laws, the
transfer of any such shares shall be restricted substantially in accordance
with the following legend:
"THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. THEY MAY NOT
BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR PLEDGED WITHOUT
(1) REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND ANY
APPLICABLE STATE LAW, OR (2) AT HOLDER'S EXPENSE, AN OPINION
(SATISFACTORY TO THE
-9-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
CORPORATION) OF COUNSEL (SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION)
THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED"
Section 3. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. Any and all signatures on the
certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or
registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon
such certificate shall have ceased t be such officer, transfer agent or
registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or
registrar at the date of issue.
Section 4. LOST CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may direct a new
certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or
certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost
or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person
claiming the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing
such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Corporation may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal
representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require
and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as
indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with
respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.
Section 5. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Upon surrender to the Corporation or
the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly
endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or
authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new
certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and
record the transaction upon its books.

contest, by appropriate legal proceedings, without cost or expense to the
District, the validity of any such law, ordinance or regulation, and the
Corporation may postpone compliance therewith until the final determination of
any court proceedings, if, in the opinion of counsel selected by the
Corporation and approved by the District, there is no possibility that the
demised premises or any part thereof will be lost or forfeited or otherwise
imperiled during the pendency of such proceedings. All such proceedings shall
be prosecuted with all due diligence and dispatch. The District agrees to
execute and deliver any papers, documents, or other instruments which may be
necessary or proper to permit the Corporation to make any such contest. If as
a result of such contest the District shall suffer any penalty or additional
expense in any way which would have been avoided by compliance with such law,
ordinance, order, rule, regulation or requirement of the nature aforesaid,

thereof.

tenants in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have
been performed on the demised property by or at the direction or sufferance of
the Corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall have the right
to contest the validity or amount of any such lien or claimed lien, upon
giving to the District such reasonable security as may be demanded by the
District to insure payment thereof and to prevent any sale, foreclosure, or
forfeiture of the demised property by reason of such non-payment, provided
such security shall not exceed one and one-half times the amount of such lien
or claimed lien. On final determination of the lien or claim for lien the

The District shall keep all of such parts of the facility, when in its
physical possession, in a safe, clean and sanitary condition, and shall comply
with all Federal, State, county or municipal requirements relating thereto.
The District shall inspect such parts of the facility to which it is to
be given physical possession, not less than 10 days before actual possession
thereof is to be given to the District under the terms hereof for any period
or term, and if any of such parts of the facility are found not to be in a
good state of repair, the District shall forthwith notify the Corporation in
writing of any and all defects complained of, and if such defects are not
forthwith remedied, the acceptance of possession by the District shall be made
subject to returning the property in the same condition as received, rather
than in first class working order and condition, as would otherwise be
required.
On or before 5 days after the end of each period or term during which
the District had physical possession of any parts of the facility, the
Corporation shall cause an inspection to be made of such parts of the facility
as have been surrendered and returned to it, and if any of such parts of the
facility are found not to be in a good state of repair, the Corporation shall
forthwith notify the District in writing of any and all defects complained of
and of the repairs or replacements reasonably necessary or required to place
such parts of the facility in first class condition and working order, and if
the District shall not have commenced the making of such repairs or
replacements within 5 days after delivery of such notice or shall not
thereafter continue the making of such repairs or replacements with all
expedition practicable, then and in that event the Corporation shall have the
right and privilege of making such repairs or replacements and the cost or
expense of making the same shall be deducted from the next installment of
rental required to be paid hereunder.

INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY CORPORATION
1994 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
By action of its Board of Directors, International Speedway Corporation
has established the following incentive compensation plan for specified key
employees, to be known as the "International Speedway Corporation 1994 Long-
Term Incentive Plan" and to be effective as of the Effective Date specified
below. The purpose of this Plan is to attract and retain qualified and
competent executives by providing significant opportunities for capital
accumulation and to enhance the growth and profitability of International
Speedway Corporation (the "Company") by focusing on long-term goals and
creation of increases in shareholder value. Awards of restricted shares of
Stock will be assigned to officers and key employees who are capable of having
a significant impact on the performance of the Company.

1.1 Achieved Performance. The Achieved Performance shall be the corporate
performance grade earned under the Company's annual incentive compensation
plan.

and January 1, of 1995, 1996 and 1997 for Future Performance Awards.
1.3 Board. The Board of Directors of the Company.
1.4 Company. International Speedway Corporation, a Florida corporation, its
successors and assigns.
1.5 Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Plan, which shall be the date

1.6 Fair Market Value. "Fair Market Value" shall mean (a) The closing price
of a share of the Company's Stock on the principal exchange on which shares of
the Company's Stock are then trading, if any, on such date, or, if shares were
not traded on such date, then on the next preceding day during which a sale
occurred; (b) if such Stock is not traded on an exchange, but is quoted on
NASDAQ or a successor quotation system, (i) the last sales price (if the Stock
is then listed as National Market Issue under the NASD National Market System)
or (ii) the mean between the closing representative bid and asked prices (in
all other cases) for the Stock on such date as reported by NASDAQ or such
successor quotation system; or (c) if such Stock is not publicly traded on an
exchange and not quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system, the mean
between the closing bid and asked prices for the Stock on such date as
determined in good faith by the Board.
1.7 Participant. An employee or officer of the Company designated as a
Participant in this Plan in accordance with Article II.
1.8 Corporate Performance Multipliers. The Corporate Performance Grade is the
Achieved Performance goal at which all or a specified portion of a
Participant's award shall be granted and is based upon the corporate
performance grade earned under the Company's annual incentive compensation
<PAGE>
plan. Because this is based on corporate Achieved Performance grades, all
Participants will participate at the same Performance Multiplier. The

with respect to the other 50% of each award.
ARTICLE II. ELIGIBILITY.
2.1 Initial Participants. Upon the Effective Date, the Board designated and
approved a list of Initial Participants. Such individuals will be considered
Initial Participants for all purposes under this Plan, and shall receive an
award pursuant to Section 3.3
2.2 Post-Effective Date Participants. The Plan Administrator, in its
discretion, shall have the right to add Participants to this Plan at any time
during the Term of the Plan.
ARTICLE III. INCENTIVE AWARDS.
3.1 Award Pool. The number of shares of Company Stock reserved for this Plan
is fifty thousand (50,000).
3.2 Awards. The Plan Administrator shall determine an award opportunity for
each Participant. The award opportunity for Initial Participants shall

The award opportunity for Post-Effective Date Participants shall consist of
only Future Performance Awards. The Plan Administrator shall consider a
Participant's job position, responsibilities and salary in determining the
amount of restricted shares in a Participant's award opportunity.
3.3 Initial Awards. Each Initial Participant shall receive an award of
restricted Stock on the grant date of January 1, 1994. The size of this award
was determined by the Plan Administrator based upon an analysis of competitive
market practices and Company performance during Fiscal 1992 and 1993.
3.4 Future Performance Awards. Future awards of restricted Stock may be made
to Participants on Future Award Dates based on Company performance, the
judgment of the Plan Administrator and the continuance of the Plan. The
number of shares of restricted Stock awarded to a Participant on a Future
Award Date shall equal the annual Award Opportunity for that Participant (as
specified by the Plan Administrator) multiplied by the Performance Multipliers
specified in section 1.8. No awards may be made after the end of the Term of
the Plan.
3.5 Delivery of Shares.
(a) Shares awarded pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of this Plan shall be
registered in the name of the affected Participant within sixty (60) days
after the Award Date. Such shares shall, however be subject to the
restrictions described in Sections 3.6 and 3.7 below until the Vesting Date
for such shares, and the certificates evidencing the shares shall bear a
legend noticing those restrictions either specifically or by reference to the
provisions of this Plan. Such shares, when issued in accordance with this
Plan, shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. Certificates
representing such shares shall be held in the custody of the Company (or its
designated agent) until the Vesting Date.
(b) Certificates representing awarded shares (without the legend described in
Section 3.5(a)) which have vested pursuant to Sections 3.6 or 3.7 shall be
delivered to the affected Participant within thirty (30) business days after
the Vesting Date with respect to such shares.
3.6 Restrictions on Awarded Shares. Shares awarded pursuant to Sections 3.3
and 3.4 of this Plan will be subject to the following restrictions until their
respective Vesting Dates:
(a) Subject to Section 3.7, if the Participant's employment with the Company
is terminated for any reason prior to the Vesting Date for an award, the
Participant shall forfeit all rights with respect to the shares included in
that award, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be null, void
and of no effect as of the date his or her employment terminates. Such shares
shall revert to the Company and shall be available for reissue as part of
future awards under this Plan.
(b) Prior to the Vesting Date with respect to such shares, the shares shall be
nontransferable and may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise assigned or
conveyed by a Participant to any party. Any shares of Stock accruing to
awarded shares as a result of any adjustment under Section 3.11 or 3.12 will
be subject to the same restrictions (and have the same Vesting Date) as the
shares to which they accrue.
3.7 Special Vesting.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.6 to the contrary, at the discretion
of the Plan Administrator, awards which have not yet vested may not be
forfeited upon termination of employment and may be allowed to otherwise vest
upon the regular Vesting Date for those shares if a Participant terminates
employment to accept other employment approved in advance by the Plan
Administrator and the Board as in the best interests of the Company and
remains in that approved employment until the regular Vesting Date.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.6 to the contrary, at the discretion
of the Plan Administrator, awards may vest upon:
(i) The date a Participant terminates employment by approved normal
retirement;
(ii) The date the Participant dies; or
(iii) The date the Participant becomes totally disabled as determined by
the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.
(c) The dates specified in Section 3.7(b) shall be considered Vesting Dates
for purposes of this Plan.
3.8 Ownership Rights. Except as provided in Section 3.6, Participants who
hold shares of restricted Stock awarded pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall
exercise all ownership rights (including, without limitation, the right to
vote and the right to received dividends) with respect to such shares.
Participants shall have the same rights with respect to any shares of Stock
accruing to awarded shares as a result of any adjustment under Sections 3.11
and 3.12.
3.9 Company's Right of First Refusal. A Participant cannot make a valid
transfer (as hereinafter defined) of any shares of Stock the restrictions upon
which have lapsed, or any interest in such shares, unless such transfer is
made in compliance with the following provisions:
(a) Before there can be a valid transfer of any shares or any interest
therein, the record holder of the shares to be transferred (the "Offered
Shares") shall give written notice (by registered or certified mail) to the
Company of the desire to sell the shares. The date such notice is mailed
shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Notice Date" and the record holder of
the Offered Shares shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Offerer."
(b) For a period of ten (10) business days after the Notice Date, the Company
shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered
Shares at their Fair Market Value in accordance with the terms set forth in
this Section 3.9. This right shall be exercisable by the Company by mailing
(by registered or certified mail) written notice of exercise to the Offeror
prior to the end of such ten (10) business day period.
(c) As used in this Section 3.9, the term "transfer" means any sale,
encumbrance, pledge, or other form of disposition or transfer of shares of the
Company's Stock or any legal or equitable interest therein; provided, however,
that the term "transfer" does not include a transfer of such shares or
interests by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
(d) Certificates of Stock evidencing shares of Stock shall bear an appropriate
legend referring to the transfer restrictions imposed by this Section 3.9.
3.10 No Bar to Corporate Restructuring. The existence of this Plan or
outstanding awards under this Plan shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any and all
adjustments, recapitalization, reorganizations or other changes in the
Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of
the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or preference stocks
ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or part of its
assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a
similar character or otherwise.
3.11 Capital Readjustments/Share Allocation Modifications. The shares
included in Participant awards granted under this Plan are shares of the Stock
as constituted on the Effective Date of this Plan, but if, and whenever, after
such Effective Date and prior to the earlier of the last day of the Term of
this Plan or the delivery by the Company of all of the shares of Stock
included in Participant awards, the Company shall effect:
(a) A change in the par value of its Stock;
(b) A change in the number of shares of Stock having par value into the same
or a different number of shares without par value;
(c) A subdivision or consolidation of shares;
(d) Any other capital readjustment;
(e) The payment of a Stock dividend; or
(f) Any other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Stock
outstanding; without the receipt of consideration by the Company, then
(aa) The Plan Administrator shall make concomitant adjustments in the maximum
outstanding Participant awards specified in Section 3.2 as appropriate; and
(bb) In the event of no change in the number of shares outstanding in
connection with a change in par value of the Stock or a change from par value
to no par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to
be Stock under this Plan.
3.12 Mergers and Consolidations. In case at any time the Company shall be a
party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets,
liquidation or recapitalization of the Common Stock) in which the previously
outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for different
securities of the Company (in a situation not covered under Section 3.11) or
common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a
non-corporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of
the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called a "Transaction," and
the Company (in the case of the recapitalization of the Common Stock) or such
other corporation or entity (in the case of a merger, consolidation or such
sale) being herein called the "Acquiring Company"), then as a condition of the
consummation of the Transaction, lawful and adequate provision shall be made
so that each Participant shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Shares
which were awarded to such Participant and are still subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 3.5 of this Plan on or prior to the
consummation of the Transaction, the securities or other property to which
each such Participant would have been entitled upon consummation of the
Transaction if such Participant had been able to tender or otherwise transfer
his or her shares without restriction. Any such securities or other property
received as contemplated by this Section 3.12 shall be held by the Company or
its successor (or an agent designated by the Company or such successor) until
the restrictions as set forth in Section 3.6 of this Agreement shall have
lapsed.
3.13 Legal Impediments to Implementation. Anything in this Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, if at any time specified herein for the award or
delivery of restricted shares to Participants, any law or regulations of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction in the matter shall require either
the Company or the Participant to take any action or refrain from action in
connection therewith, then the award or delivery of such shares shall be
deferred until such action shall have been taken or such restriction on action
shall have been removed.
3.14 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the
contrary, Participant awards and grants of restricted shares shall always be
in whole number of shares. In the event any adjustment to a Participant award
or the calculation of an award pursuant to this Plan would otherwise result in
the creation of a fractional share interest, the affected Participant award or
grant of restricted shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share (with
0.5 share rounded to the next higher whole number).
ARTICLE IV. PLAN ADMINISTRATION.
4.1 Plan Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board. Decisions and determinations by the Plan
Administrator shall be final and binding upon all parties, including the
Company, shareholders, Participants and other employees. The Plan
Administrator shall have the authority to interpret the Plan, to adopt and
revise rules and regulations relating to the Plan and to make any other
determinations which it believes necessary or advisable for the administration
of the Plan. The Plan Administrator (and individual members thereof) shall
not be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with
the interpretation and administration of this Plan unless attributable to the
member's own willful misconduct or lack of good faith.
ARTICLE V. AMENDMENT AND PLAN TERMINATION.
5.1 The Board expressly reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at
any time, provided however, that no amendment or termination shall have the
effect of reducing the number of shares of Stock awarded to a Participant
after an Award Date or otherwise changing the Plan provisions as they impact
such previously awarded shares of Stock (except as may be required by law)
without the written approval of the affected Participant(s).
ARTICLE VI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
6.1 Non-Transferability/Designation of Beneficiary.
(a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b), a Participant may not either
voluntarily or involuntarily assign, anticipate, alienate, commute, pledge or
encumber an award to which he or she is or may become entitled to under the
Plan, nor may the same be subject to attachment or garnishment by any creditor
of a Participant.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) to the contrary, a Participant
must designate a person or persons to receive, in the event of his death, any
right to which he would be entitled under the Plan. Such designation shall be
made in writing, and filed with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be
changed or revoked by a Participant at any time by filing a written statement
of such change or revocation with the Company. If a Participant fails to
designate a beneficiary, then his or her estate shall be deemed to be his
beneficiary.
6.2 Continued Employment. Although the Company intends that the awards under
this Plan to be a term of employment and a part of each Participant's
compensation and benefits package, nothing in the establishment of the Plan is
to be construed as giving any Participant the right to be retained in the
employment of the Company.
6.3 Awards Unfunded. The awards provided pursuant to this Plan (if any) shall
be provided solely from the general assets of the Corporation. No trust or
other funding device providing for the identification or segregation of assets
to fund Plan awards has been established, nor is it the Company's intention to
do so. Each Participant shall be a general and unsecured creditor of the
Company with respect to any interest he or she may have under this Plan,
provided that awards of Stock with respect to which certificates have been
issued pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Plan shall be deemed the property of
the Participant in whose name they are issued subject to the ownership
restrictions described in Section 3.6 and the transfer restrictions described
in Section 3.9. With respect to such Stock the Company shall be deemed a
custodian.
6.4 Taxation of Awards. Awards under this Plan will be compensation subject
to federal and state taxes in the calendar year in which they vest.
6.5 Retirement Plans and Welfare Benefit Plans. Except as otherwise specified
in this Plan and the plan in question, awards will not be included as
"compensation" for purposes of the Company's retirement plans (both qualified
and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans.
6.6 Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed and its provisions enforced
and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and,
where applicable, federal law.
6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Plan should be held illegal or
invalid for any reason, such determination shall not affect the provisions of
this Plan, but instead the Plan shall be construed as if such provisions had
never been included herein.
6.8 Headings. Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and
shall in no event be construed as part of this Plan.
ARTICLE VII. EFFECTIVE DATE
7.1 Effective Date. This Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date as

stock granted hereunder to the full extent provided for under the
Corporation's Bylaws with respect to indemnification of directors of the
Corporation.
5. Maximum Number of Shares Subject to Plan: The maximum number of shares
with respect to which stock options or stock appreciation rights may be
granted or which may be awarded as restricted stock under the Plan shall be

number of shares with respect to which a stock appreciation right is granted,
but not the number of shares which the Corporation delivers or could deliver
to a Participant upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, shall be charged
against the aggregate number of shares remaining available under the Plan;
provided, however, that in the case of a stock appreciation right granted in
conjunction with a stock option under circumstances in which the exercise of
the stock appreciation right results in termination of the stock option and

charged against the aggregate number of shares remaining available under the
Plan. If a stock option or stock appreciation right expires or terminates for
any reason (other than termination as a result of the exercise of a related
right) without having been fully exercised, or if shares of restricted stock
are forfeited, the number of shares with respect to which the stock option or
stock appreciation right was not exercised at the time of its expiration or
termination, and the number of forfeited shares of restricted stock, shall
again become available for the grant of stock options or stock appreciation
rights, or the award of restricted stock, under the Plan, unless the Plan
shall have been terminated.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no employee, consultant
or advisor of the Corporation or a Subsidiary may receive options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock or any combination thereof for more than
200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation over the term of the Plan,
as provided in Paragraph 25. For purposes of this 200,000 share per-person
limitation, there shall be taken into account all shares covered by stock
options and stock appreciation rights granted, and all restricted shares
awarded, to an employee regardless of whether such stock options or stock
appreciation rights expire or terminate without being fully exercised or
whether such restricted shares are forfeited back to the Corporation.
The number of shares subject to each outstanding stock option, stock
appreciation right or restricted stock award, the option price with respect to
outstanding stock options, the grant value with respect to outstanding stock
appreciation rights, the aggregate number of shares remaining available under
the Plan and the 200,000 share per-person limitation shall be subject to such
adjustment as the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate to reflect
such events as stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers,
consolidations or reorganizations of or by the Corporation; provided, however,
that no fractional shares shall be issued pursuant to the Plan, no rights may
be granted under the Plan with respect to fractional shares, and any
fractional shares resulting from such adjustments shall be eliminated from any
outstanding stock option, stock appreciation right, or restricted stock award.
6. Participants: The Committee shall determine and designate from time
to time, in its Discretion, those key employees, consultants or advisors of
the Corporation or any Subsidiary to receive stock options, stock appreciation
rights, or restricted stock who, in the judgment of the Committee, are or will
become responsible for the direction and financial success of the Corporation
or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that Incentive Options may be granted
only to persons who are key employees of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, and
in the case of a Subsidiary only if (i) the Corporation owns, directly or
indirectly, 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Stock of the Subsidiary and (ii) the Subsidiary is a corporation. For the
purposes of the Plan, key employees shall include officers and directors who
are also key employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.
7. Written Agreement: Each stock option, stock appreciation right and
restricted stock award shall be evidenced by a written agreement (each a
"Corporation-Participant Agreement") containing such provisions as may be
approved by the Committee. Each such Corporation-Participant Agreement shall
constitute a binding contract between the Corporation and the Participant and
every Participant, upon acceptance of such Agreement, shall be bound by the
terms and restrictions of the Plan and of such Agreement. The terms of each
such Corporation-Participant Agreement shall be in accordance with the Plan,
but each Agreement may include such additional provisions and restrictions
determined by the Committee, in its Discretion, provided that such additional
provisions and restrictions are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.
8. Allotment of Shares: The Committee shall determine and fix, in its
Discretion, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which a
Participant may be granted stock options and stock appreciation rights and the
number of shares of restricted stock which a Participant may be awarded;
provided, however, that no Incentive Option may be granted under the Plan to
any one Participant which would result in the aggregate fair market value,
determined as of the date the option is granted, of underlying stock with
respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by
such Participant during any calendar year under any plan maintained by the
Corporation (or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Corporation)
exceeding $ 100,000.
9. Stock Options: Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in
its Discretion, may grant to Participants either Incentive Options or
Nonqualified Options or any combination thereof. Each option granted under
the Plan shall designate the number of shares covered thereby, if any, with
respect to which the option is an Incentive Option, and the number of shares
covered thereby, if any, with respect to which the option is a Nonqualified
Option.
10. Stock Option Price: Subject to the rules set forth in this Paragraph
10, at the time any stock option is granted, the Committee, in its Discretion,
shall establish the price per share for which the shares covered by the option
may be purchased. With respect to an Incentive Option, such option price
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date
on which such option is granted; provided, however, that with respect to an
Incentive Option granted to an employee who at the time of the grant owns
(after applying the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than
10% of the total combined voting stock of the Corporation or of any parent or
subsidiary, the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market
value of the stock on the date such option is granted. With respect to a
Nonqualified Option, the option price shall not be less than 50% of the fair
market value of the stock on the date upon which such option is granted. The
option price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions
of Paragraph 5 of the Plan.
11. Payment of Stock Option Price: To exercise in whole or in part any
stock option granted hereunder, payment of the option price in full in cash
or, with the consent of the Committee, in Common Stock of the Corporation or
by a promissory note payable to the order of the Corporation in a form
acceptable to the Committee, shall be made by the Participant for all shares
so purchased. Such payment may, with the consent of the Committee, also
consist of a cash down payment and delivery of such promissory note in the
amount of the unpaid exercise price. In the Discretion of and subject to such
conditions as may be established by the Committee, payment of the option price
may also be made by the Corporation retaining from the shares to be delivered
upon exercise of the stock option that number of shares having a fair market
value on the date of exercise equal to the option price of the number of
shares with respect to which the Participant exercises the stock option. Such
payment may also be made in such other manner as the Committee determines is
appropriate, in its Discretion. No Participant shall have any of the rights
of a shareholder of the Corporation under any stock option until the actual
issuance of shares to said Participant, and prior to such issuance no
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights in
respect of such shares, except as may be provided in Paragraph 5.
12. Stock Appreciation Rights: Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Committee may grant stock appreciation rights to Participants either in
conjunction with, or independently of, any stock options granted under the
Plan. A stock appreciation right granted in conjunction with a stock option
may be an alternative right wherein the exercise of the stock option
terminates the stock appreciation right to the extent of the number of shares
purchased upon exercise of the stock option and, correspondingly, the exercise
of the stock appreciation right terminates the stock option to the extent of
the number of shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is
exercised. Alternatively, a stock appreciation right granted in conjunction
with a stock option may be an additional right wherein both the stock
appreciation right and the stock option may be exercised. A stock
appreciation right may not be granted in conjunction with an Incentive Option
under circumstances in which the exercise of the stock appreciation right
affects the right to exercise the Incentive Option or vice versa, unless the
stock appreciation right, by its terms, meets all of the following
requirements:
a. the stock appreciation right will expire no later than the
Incentive Option;
b. the stock appreciation right may be for no more than the
difference between the option price of the Incentive Option and the fair
market value of the shares subject to the Incentive Option at the time the
stock appreciation right is exercised;
c. the stock appreciation right is transferable only when the
Incentive Option is transferable, and under the same conditions;
d. the stock appreciation right may be exercised only when the
Incentive Option is eligible to be exercised; and
e. the stock appreciation right may be exercised only when the fair
market value
of the shares subject to the Incentive Option exceeds the option price of the
Incentive Option.
Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, a Participant shall be
entitled to receive, without payment to the Corporation (except for applicable
withholding taxes), an amount equal to the excess of or, in the Discretion of
the Committee if provided in the Corporation-Participant Agreement, a portion
of the excess of (i) the then aggregate fair market value of the number of
shares with respect to which the Participant exercises the stock appreciation
right, over (ii) the aggregate fair market value of such number of shares at
the time the stock appreciation right was granted. This amount shall be
payable by the Corporation, in the Discretion of the Committee, in cash or in
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation or any combination thereof.
13. Granting and Exercising of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights: Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 13, each stock option
and stock appreciation right granted hereunder shall be exercisable at any
such time or times or in any such installments as may be determined by the
Committee at the time of the grant; provided, however, no stock option or
stock appreciation right may be exercisable prior to the expiration of six
months from the date of grant unless the Participant dies or becomes disabled
prior thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the
contrary, stock appreciation rights shall always be granted and exercised in
such a manner as to conform to the provisions of rules adopted pursuant to the
provisions of §ion 16 the Exchange Act. In addition, the aggregate fair
market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the Common
Stock with respect to which Incentive Options are exercisable for the first
time by a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
A Participant may exercise a stock option or stock appreciation right, if
then exercisable, in whole or in part by delivery to the Corporation of
written notice of the exercise, in such form as the Committee may prescribe,
accompanied, in the case of a stock option, by (i) payment for the shares with
respect to which the stock option is exercised in accordance with Paragraph
11. or (ii) in the Discretion of the Committee, irrevocable instructions to a
stock broker to promptly deliver to the Corporation full payment for the
shares with respect to which the stock option is exercised from the proceeds
of the stock broker's sale of or loan against the shares. Except as provided
in Paragraph 17, stock options and stock appreciation rights granted to a
Participant may be exercised only while the Participant is an employee of the
Corporation or a Subsidiary.
Successive stock options and stock appreciation rights may be granted to
the same Participant, whether or not the stock option(s) and stock
appreciation right(s) previously granted to such Participant remain
unexercised. A Participant may exercise a stock option or a stock
appreciation right, if then exercisable, notwithstanding that stock options
and stock appreciation rights previously granted to such Participant remain
unexercised.
The Committee in its sole discretion may by giving written notice
("Cancellation Notice") cancel, effective upon the date of any corporate
transaction described in Paragraph 22 hereof, any stock option or stock
appreciation right that remains unexercised on such date. The Cancellation
Notice shall be given a reasonable period of time prior to the proposed date
of cancellation and may be given either before or after shareholder approval
of such corporate transaction.
14. Non-transferability of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights:
No stock option or stock appreciation right granted under the Plan to a
Participant shall be transferable by such Participant otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and stock options and stock
appreciation rights shall be exercisable, during the lifetime of the
Participant, only by the Participant.
15. Term of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights: If not sooner
terminated, each stock option and stock appreciation right granted hereunder
shall expire not more than 10 years from the date of the granting thereof;
provided, however, that with respect to an Incentive Option or a related stock
appreciation right granted to a Participant who, at the time of the grant,
owns (after applying the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more
than 10% of the total combined voting stock of all classes of stock of the
Corporation or of any parent or subsidiary, such option and stock appreciation
right shall expire not more than five (5) years after the date of granting
thereof.
16. Continuation of Employment: The Committee may require, in its
Discretion, that any Participant under the Plan to whom a stock option or
stock appreciation right shall be granted shall agree in writing as a
condition of the granting of such stock option or stock appreciation right to
remain in the employ of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as an employee,
consultant or advisor for a designed minimum period from the date of the
granting of such stock option or stock appreciation right as shall be fixed by
the Committee.
17. Termination of Employment: If the employment or consultancy of a
Participant by the Corporation or a Subsidiary shall terminate, the Committee
may, in its Discretion, permit the exercise of stock options and stock
appreciation rights granted to such Participant (i) for a period not to exceed
three months following termination of employment with respect to Incentive
Options or related stock appreciation rights if termination of employment is
not due to death or permanent disability of the Participant, (ii) for a period
not to exceed one year following termination of employment with respect to
Incentive Options or related stock appreciation rights if termination of
employment is due to the death or permanent disability of the Participant, and
(iii) for a period not to extend beyond the expiration date with respect to
Nonqualified Options or related or independently granted stock appreciation
rights. In no event, however, shall a stock option or stock appreciation
right be exercisable subsequent to its expiration date and, furthermore,
unless the Committee in its Discretion determine otherwise, a stock option or
stock appreciation right may only be exercised after termination of a
Participant's employment or consultancy to the extent exercisable on the date
of such termination or to the extent exercisable as a result of the reason for
such termination. The period of time, if any, a Participant shall have to
exercise stock options or stock appreciation rights upon termination of
employment or consultancy shall be set forth in the Corporation-Participant
Agreement, subject to extension of such time period by the Committee in its
Discretion.
18. Restricted Stock Awards: Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Committee may award shares of restricted stock to Participants. All shares of
restricted stock granted to Participants under the Plan shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions (and to such other terms and conditions
prescribed by the Committee):
a. At the time of each award of restricted shares, there shall be
established for the shares a restricted period, which shall be no less than
six months and no greater than five years. Such restricted period may differ
among Participants and may have different expiration dates with respect to
portions of shares covered by the same award.
b. Shares of restricted stock awarded to Participants may not be
sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered
during the restricted period applicable to such shares. Except for such
restrictions on transfer, a Participant shall have all of the rights of a
shareholder in respect of restricted shares awarded to him or her including,
but not limited to, the right to receive any dividends on, and the right to
vote, the shares.
c. If the employment of a Participant as an employee, consultant or
advisor of the Corporation or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason
(voluntary or involuntary, and with or without cause) other than death or
permanent disability, all shares theretofore awarded to the Participant which
are still subject to the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 18(b) shall upon
such termination of employment be forfeited and transferred back to the
Corporation, without payment of any consideration by the Corporation. In the
event such employment is terminated by action of the Corporation or a
Subsidiary without cause or by agreement between the Corporation or a
Subsidiary and the Participant, however, the Committee may, in its Discretion,
release some or all of the shares from the restrictions.
d. If the employment of a Participant as an employee, consultant or
advisor of the Corporation or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death or
permanent disability, the restrictions imposed by Paragraph 18(b) shall lapse
upon the expiration of a ten day period following the death or determination
of permanent disability of a participant with respect to shares then subject
to such restrictions, unless otherwise determined by the Committee prior to
the expiration of the ten day period.
e. Stock certificates shall be issued in respect of shares of
restricted stock awarded hereunder and shall be registered in the name of the
Participant. Such certificates shall be deposited with the Corporation or its
designee, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, and, in the
Discretion of the Committee, a legend shall be placed upon such certificates
reflecting that the shares represented thereby are subject to restrictions
against transfer and forfeiture.
f. At the expiration of the restricted period applicable to the
shares, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant or the legal
representative of the Participant's estate the stock certificates deposited
with it or its designee and as to which the restricted period has expired. If
a legend has been placed on such certificates, the Corporation shall cause
such certificates to be reissued without any legend which is no longer
applicable.
In the case of events such as stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalizations. mergers, consolidations or reorganizations of or by the
Corporation, any stock, securities or other property which a Participant
receives or is entitled to receive by reason of his or her ownership of
restricted shares shall, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be
subject to the same restrictions applicable to the restricted shares and shall
be deposited with the Corporation or its designee.
19. Investment Purpose: If the Committee in its Discretion determines
that as a matter of law such procedure is or may be desirable, it may require
a Participant, upon any acquisition of Common Stock hereunder (whether by
reason of the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights or the
award of restricted stock) and as a condition to the Corporation's obligation
to issue or deliver certificates representing such shares, to execute and
deliver to the Corporation a written statement, in form satisfactory to the
Committee, representing and warranting that the Participant's acquisition of
shares of stock shall be for such person's own account, for investment and not
with a view to the resale or distribution thereof and that any subsequent
offer for sale or sale of any such shares shall be made either pursuant to (a)
a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which registration statement has
become effective and is current with respect to the shares being offered and
sold, or (b) a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, but in claiming such exemption the Participant shall, prior to
any offer for sale or sale of such shares, obtain a favorable written opinion
from counsel for or approved by the Corporation as to the availability of such
exemption. The Corporation may endorse an appropriate legend referring to the
foregoing restriction upon the certificate or certificates representing any
shares issued or transferred to a Participant under the Plan.
20. Corporation's Right of First Refusal. A Participant cannot make a
valid transfer (as hereinafter defined) of any shares of Common Stock
acquired pursuant to this Plan (whether by reason of the of the exercise of
stock options or stock appreciation rights or the award of restricted stock)
the other restrictions upon which have lapsed, or any interest in such shares,
unless such transfer is made in compliance with the following provisions:
a. Before there can be a valid transfer of any shares or any
interest therein, the record holder of the shares to be transferred (the
"Offered Shares") shall give written notice (by registered or certified mail)
to the Corporation of the desire to sell the shares. The date such notice is
mailed shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Notice Date" and the record
holder of the Offered Shares shall be hereinafter referred to as the
"Offeror."
b. For a period of ten (10) business days after the Notice Date, the
Corporation shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of
the Offered Shares at their Fair Market Value in accordance with the terms set
forth in this Section 20. This right shall be exercisable by the Corporation
by mailing (by registered or certified mail) written notice of exercise to the
Offeror prior to the end of such ten (10) business day period.
c. As used in this Section 20, the term "transfer" means any sale,
encumbrance, pledge, or other form of disposition or transfer of shares of the
Corporation's Stock or any legal or equitable interest therein; provided,
however, that the term "transfer" does not include a transfer of such shares
or interests by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.
d. Certificates of Stock evidencing shares of Stock shall bear an
appropriate legend referring to the transfer restrictions imposed by this
Section 20.
21. No Rights to Continued Employment: Nothing contained in the Plan or
in any stock option, stock appreciation right or restricted stock granted or
awarded pursuant to the Plan, nor any action taken by the Committee hereunder,
shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuation of
employment as an employee, consultant or advisor of the Corporation or a
Subsidiary nor interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or a
Subsidiary to terminate such person's employment at any time.
22. No Bar to Corporate Restructuring. The existence of this Plan or
outstanding awards under this Plan shall not affect in any way the right or
power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any and all
adjustments, recapitalization, reorganizations or other changes in the
Corporation's capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation of the Corporation, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred
or preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof, or
the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of
all or part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
23. Withholding Payments: If upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Option
or stock appreciation right, or upon the award of restricted stock or the
expiration of restrictions applicable to restricted stock, or upon a
disqualifying disposition (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of
shares acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Option, there shall be payable
by the Corporation or a Subsidiary any amount for income tax withholding, in
the Committee's Discretion, either the Corporation shall appropriately reduce
the amount of Common Stock or cash to be delivered or paid to the Participant
or the Participant shall pay such amount to the Corporation or Subsidiary to
reimburse it for such income tax withholding. The Committee may, in its
Discretion, permit Participants to satisfy such withholding obligations, in
whole or in part, by electing to have the amount of Common Stock delivered or
deliverable by the Corporation upon exercise of a stock option or stock
appreciation right or upon award of restricted stock appropriately reduced, or
by electing to tender Common Stock back to the Corporation subsequent to
exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation right or award of restricted
stock, to reimburse the Corporation or a Subsidiary for such income tax
withholding (any such election being irrevocable), subject to such rules and
regulations as the Committee may adopt, including such rules as it determines
appropriate with respect to Participants subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 16(a) o the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), to effect such tax withholding in compliance with the Rules
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the positions of the staff of the
Commission thereunder expressed in no-action letters exempting such tax
withholding from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The
Committee may make such other arrangements with respect to income tax
withholding as it shall determine.
24. Effectiveness of Plan: The Plan shall be effective on the date the
Board of Directors of the Corporation adopts the Plan, provided that the
shareholders of the Corporation approve the Plan within 12 months of its
adoption by the Board of Directors. Stock options, stock appreciation rights
and restricted stock may be granted or awarded prior to shareholder approval
of the Plan, but each such stock option, stock appreciation right or
restricted stock grant or award shall be subject to shareholder approval of
the Plan. No stock option or stock appreciation right may be exercised prior
to shareholder approval, and any restricted stock awarded is subject to
forfeiture if such shareholder approval is not obtained.
25. Termination, Duration and Amendments of Plan: The Plan may be
abandoned or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the date
ten years after its adoption by the Board of Directors, and no stock options,
stock appreciation rights or restricted stock may be granted or awarded
thereafter. The termination of the Plan shall not affect the validity of any
stock option, stock appreciation right or restricted stock outstanding on the
date of termination.
For the purpose of conforming to any changes in applicable law or
governmental regulations, or for any other lawful purpose, the Board of
Directors shall have the right, with or without approval of the shareholders
of the Corporation, to amend or revise the terms of the Plan at any time.
26. Capital Readjustments/Share Allocation Modifications. The shares
included in Participant awards granted under this Plan are shares of the Stock
as constituted on the Effective Date of this Plan, but if, and whenever, after
such Effective Date and prior to the earlier of the last day of the Term of
this Plan or the delivery by the Corporation of all of the shares of Stock
included in Participant awards, the Corporation shall effect:
a. A change in the par value of its Stock;
b. A change in the number of shares of Stock having par value into the same or
a different number of shares without par value;
c. A subdivision or consolidation of shares;
d. Any other capital readjustment;
e. The payment of a Stock dividend; or
f. Any other increase or reduction of the number of shares of Stock
outstanding; without the receipt of consideration by the Corporation, then
(1) The Plan Administrator shall make concomitant adjustments in the maximum
outstanding Participant awards specified in Section 3.2 as appropriate; and
(2) In the event of no change in the number of shares outstanding in
connection with a change in par value of the Stock or a change from par value
to no par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to
be Stock under this Plan.
27. Mergers and Consolidations. In case at any time the Corporation
shall be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets,
liquidation or recapitalization of the Common Stock) in which the previously
outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for different
securities of the Corporation (in a situation not covered under Section 3.11)
or common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a
non-corporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of
the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called a "Transaction," and
the Corporation (in the case of the recapitalization of the Common Stock) or
such other corporation or entity (in the case of a merger, consolidation or
such sale) being herein called the "Acquiring Corporation"), then as a
condition of the consummation of the Transaction, lawful and adequate
provision shall be made so that each Participant shall be entitled to receive,
in lieu of the Shares which were awarded to such Participant and are still
subject to the restrictions contained in Section 3.5 of this Plan on or prior
to the consummation of the Transaction, the securities or other property to
which each such Participant would have been entitled upon consummation of the
Transaction if such Participant had been able to tender or otherwise transfer
his or her shares without restriction. Any such securities or other property
received as contemplated by this Section 3.12 shall be held by the Corporation
or its successor (or an agent designated by the Corporation or such successor)
until the restrictions as set forth in Section 3.6 of this Agreement shall
have lapsed.
28. Legal Impediments to Implementation. Anything in this Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, if at any time specified herein for the award or
delivery of restricted shares to Participants, any law or regulations of any
governmental authority having jurisdiction in the matter shall require either
the Corporation or the Participant to take any action or refrain from action
in connection therewith, then the award or delivery of such shares shall be
deferred until such action shall have been taken or such restriction on action
shall have been removed.
29. Non-Transferability/Designation of Beneficiary.
a. Except as provided in subparagraph b, a Participant may not either
voluntarily or involuntarily assign, anticipate, alienate, commute, pledge or
encumber an award to which he or she is or may become entitled to under the
Plan, nor may the same be subject to attachment or garnishment by any creditor
of a Participant.
b. Notwithstanding anything in subparagraph a to the contrary, a
Participant must designate a person or persons to receive, in the event of his
death, any right to which he would be entitled under the Plan. Such
designation shall be made in writing, and filed with the Corporation. A
beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time
by filing a written statement of such change or revocation with the
Corporation. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, then his or
her estate shall be deemed to be his beneficiary.
30. Awards Unfunded. The awards provided pursuant to this Plan (if any)
shall be provided solely from the general assets of the Corporation. No trust
or other funding device providing for the identification or segregation of
assets to fund Plan awards has been established, nor is it the Corporation's
intention to do so. Each Participant shall be a general and unsecured
creditor of the Corporation with respect to any interest he or she may have
under this Plan, provided that awards of Stock with respect to which
certificates have been issued pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed the
property of the Participant in whose name they are issued subject to the
ownership and transfer restrictions described elsewhere. With respect to such
Stock the Corporation shall be deemed a custodian.
31. Taxation of Awards. Awards under this Plan will be compensation
subject to federal and state taxes.
32. Retirement Plans and Welfare Benefit Plans. Except as otherwise
specified in this Plan and the plan in question, awards will not be included
as "compensation" for purposes of the Corporation's retirement plans (both
qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans.
33. Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed and its provisions
enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida
and, where applicable, federal law.
34. Severability. If any provision of this Plan should be held illegal
or invalid for any reason, such determination shall not affect the provisions
of this Plan, but instead the Plan shall be construed as if such provisions
had never been included herein.
35. Headings. Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only
and shall in no event be construed as part of this Plan.
SPLIT-DOLLAR AGREEMENT
THIS SPLIT DOLLAR AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of
the 17th day of October, 1995, by and among INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY
CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Corporation"), WILLIAM C. FRANCE ("William"), BETTY JANE FRANCE ("Betty
Jane") and DESERT TRANQUILITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Nevada limited
partnership, by and through its sole general partner, WESTERN SANDUNE CORP., a
Nevada corporation (the "Owner").
R E C I T A T I O N S
A. William is an executive officer of the Corporation.
B. William and Betty Jane (referred to hereinafter together as the
"Insureds") are husband and wife.
C. The Corporation desires to help William create a life insurance
program for the benefit of his family by the establishment of a split-dollar
life insurance plan and the payment of a portion of the premiums on the
second-to-die life insurance policies described on Schedule "A" attached
hereto (collectively, the "Policy") on the lives of the Insureds.
D. The Owner possesses or will possess all incidents of ownership in
and to the Policy.
E. The Corporation wishes to have the Policy collaterally assigned to
it by the Owner, in order to secure the repayment of the amounts that the
Corporation paid or will pay in respect of the premiums on the Policy as more
fully specified herein.
F. The parties intend that by such collateral assignment the
Corporation shall receive only the right to such repayment, with the Owner
retaining all other ownership rights in the Policy, as specified herein.
O P E R A T I V E P R O V I S I O N S
IN CONSIDERATION of the foregoing recitations, the mutual covenants of
the parties set forth herein and other good and valuable considerations, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged hereby, the parties hereto,
intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE OF POLICY. The Owner has applied to the Insurance
Company for the Policy, and with the assistance of the Corporation, will take
all reasonable steps to cause the Policy to be issued. When the Policy is
issued, the insurance company, policy number, effective date, face amount and
plan of insurance shall be recorded on Schedule A attached hereto, and the
Policy shall become subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Owner owns or
will own the Policy issued by the insurers described on Schedule "A" attached
hereto (collectively, the "Insurer"). The parties hereto have taken or will
take all action that may be necessary to cause the Policy to conform to the
provisions of this Agreement.
2. OWNERSHIP OF POLICY.
(a) The Owner shall be the sole and absolute owner of the Policy
and may exercise all ownership rights granted to the owner thereof by the
terms of the Policy, except as may otherwise be provided herein.
(b) It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement and the
collateral assignment executed by the Owner in favor of the Corporation in
connection herewith that the Owner shall retain all rights that the Policy
grants to the owner thereof, except the right of the Corporation to its
Collateral Interest in the Policy. The Corporation's "Collateral Interest" in
the Policy shall mean the aggregate sum of all premiums then or theretofore
paid by the Corporation to the Insurance Company and credited to the Policy,
including any amounts considered taxable "economic benefit" to the Insureds as
a result of such premium payments. The Corporation shall neither have nor
exercise any right as collateral assignee of the Policy that could in any way
defeat or impair the Owner's right to receive the death proceeds of the Policy
in excess of the amount due the Corporation hereunder. All provisions of this
Agreement and of such collateral assignment shall be construed so as to carry
out such intention.
3. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS.
(a) The Owner may elect to pay part or all of any premiums on
the Policy and shall deliver notice of such election to the Corporation on or
before the premium due date.
(b) The Corporation shall advance on behalf of the Owner an
amount equal to all premiums on the Policy not paid by the Owner. The amount
advanced by the Corporation shall not exceed $750,000 per year for a period
not exceeding eight years. The Corporation shall pay all such advances
directly to the Insurer within the grace period following the due date of each
such premium.
(c) It is currently anticipated that on the date first set forth
above and each anniversary date thereof the Corporation shall advance annually
out of its own funds a sufficient sum to make up the requisite net annual
premium (*i.e., the full premium less the amount that the Owner has
contributed). While both Insureds are alive, the Insureds shall be deemed to
receive a taxable economic benefit in an amount equal to the sum of v * qx *
qy' where v = 1/1.025, qx and qy = the annual mortality rates for ages x and
y, respectively, computed from the values in U.S. Life Table 38, and x and y =
the ages of William and Betty Jane, respectively, on the due date of each
annual premium. After the death of the first of the Insureds to die, the
surviving Insured shall be deemed to receive a taxable economic benefit in an
amount equal to the economic benefit based on the surviving Insured pursuant
to the provisions of Rev. Rul. 64-328, 1964-2 CB 11, Rev. Rul. 66-110, 1966-1
CB 12, Rev. Rul. 55-747, 1955-2 CB 228 and Rev. Rul. 67-154, 1967-1 CB 11.
5. PAYMENT OF BONUSES. In order to minimize the tax consequences of
this plan on the Insureds during the term of this Agreement the Corporation
agrees to provide additional annual compensation in the form of a bonus to the
Insureds for a period of no more than 15 years in an amount equal to the
applicable federal income taxes on the taxable economic benefit as a result of
the premium payments by the Corporation plus an amount equal to the applicable
federal income taxes on the aggregate bonuses.
6. COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT. To secure the repayment to the Corporation
of its Collateral Interest in the Policy, the Owner shall assign the Policy to
the Corporation as collateral, pursuant to the form of collateral assignment
attached hereto as Exhibit "1" (the "Collateral Assignment"). Such repayment
shall not exceed (i) the cash surrender value of the Policy if this Agreement
is terminated or if the Owner surrenders or cancels the Policy, or (ii) the
death proceeds of the Policy if both of the Insureds should die while the
Policy and this Agreement remain in force. In no event shall the Corporation
have any right to borrow against the Policy. The Collateral Assignment of the
Policy to the Corporation hereunder shall not be terminated, altered or
amended by the Owner without the express written consent of the Corporation.
The parties hereto agree to take all action necessary to cause such Collateral
Assignment to conform to the provisions of this Agreement.
7. LIMITATION ON OWNER'S RIGHTS IN POLICY.
(a) The Owner shall take no action with respect to the Policy
that would in any way compromise or jeopardize the Corporation's right to be
repaid its Collateral Interest in the Policy.
(b) The Owner shall have the sole right to surrender or cancel
the Policy and to receive the full cash surrender value of the Policy directly
from the Insurer. Upon the surrender or cancellation of the Policy, the
Corporation shall have the unqualified right to receive its Collateral
Interest in the Policy. Immediately upon receipt of the cash value, the Owner
shall pay to the Corporation its Collateral Interest in the Policy.
8. COLLECTION OF DEATH PROCEEDS.
(a) Following the deaths of both Insureds, the Corporation and
the Owner promptly shall take all action necessary to obtain the death benefit
provided under the Policy.
(b) The Corporation shall have the unqualified right to receive
a portion of such death benefit equal to its Collateral Interest in the
Policy. The balance of the death benefit provided under the Policy, if any,
shall be paid directly to the Owner, pursuant to the beneficiary designation
for the Policy. In no event shall the amount payable to the Corporation
hereunder exceed the Policy proceeds payable at the death of the Insureds. No
amount shall be paid from such death benefit by the Owner until the full
amount due the Corporation hereunder has been paid. The parties hereto agree
that the beneficiary designation provisions of the Policy shall conform to the
provisions hereof.
9. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
(a) This Agreement shall terminate, without notice, upon the
occurrence of (i) the total cessation of the business of the Corporation or
(ii) the bankruptcy, receivership or dissolution of the Corporation.
(b) In addition, the Corporation or the Owner shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement, by written notice to the other parties
hereto, at any time that the cash surrender value of the Policy equals or
exceeds the aggregate sum of all premiums then or theretofore paid by the
Corporation to the Insurance Company and credited to the Policy, including
amounts considered "economic benefit" to the Insureds as a result of such
premium payments. Such termination shall be effective as of the date of such
notice.
10. DISPOSITION OF POLICY ON TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
(a) Within sixty (60) days following the date of the termination
of this Agreement, the Owner shall obtain from the Corporation the release of
the Collateral Assignment of the Policy. To obtain such release, the Owner
shall repay to the Corporation its Collateral Interest in the Policy. Upon
receipt of such amount, the Corporation shall release the Collateral
Assignment of the Policy by the execution and delivery of an appropriate
instrument of release.
(b) If the Owner fails to obtain the release of the Collateral
Assignment within such sixty (60) day period, then the Corporation may enforce
its right to be repaid its Collateral Interest in the Policy from the cash
surrender value of the Policy under the Collateral Assignment of the Policy.
11. INSURER NOT A PARTY. The Insurer shall be fully discharged from
its obligations under the Policy by payment of the Policy death benefits to
the beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the Policy, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Policy. In no event shall the Insurer be considered a party
to this Agreement or any modification or amendment thereof. No provision of
this Agreement, or of any modification or amendment hereof, shall be construed
in any way as enlarging, changing, varying or in any other way affecting the
obligations of the Insurer as expressly provided in the Policy, except insofar
as the provisions hereof are made a part of the Policy by the Collateral
Assignment executed by the Owner and filed with the Insurer in connection
herewith.
12. NAMED FIDUCIARY; DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS; CLAIMS PROCEDURE; AND
ADMINISTRATION.
(a) The Corporation is hereby designated as the named fiduciary
under this Agreement. The named fiduciary shall have authority to control and
manage the operation and administration of this Agreement. All premiums in
respect of the Policy shall be paid to the Insurer when due, pursuant to
Paragraph 3 of this Agreement.
(b) The Corporation shall make all determinations concerning
rights to benefits under this Agreement. Any decision by the Corporation
denying a claim by the Owner for benefits under this Agreement shall be stated
in writing and delivered or mailed to the Owner. Such decision shall set
forth the specific reasons for the denial, written, to the best of the
Corporation's ability, in a manner that may be understood without legal or
actuarial counsel. In addition, the Corporation shall afford a reasonable
opportunity to the Owner for a full and fair review of the decision denying
such claim. In no event shall the Corporation, acting as the named fiduciary,
perform any such act that violates the prohibited transaction rules of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
13. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or
modified, except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors or assigns, and may not be terminated otherwise, except
as provided herein.
14. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Corporation and the Owner, and their respective
successors and assigns, and the Insureds, and their respective successors,
assigns, heirs, executors and administrators.
15. NOTICE. Any notice, consent, demand or other communication
required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall
be in writing (including telefacsimile transmission or similar writing) and
shall be given to such party at its address or telefacsimile number set forth
on Schedule "B" attached hereto or as given subsequently to the sender by the
addressee. Such notice shall be signed by the party giving or making the
same. If such notice, consent, demand or other communication is mailed to a
party hereto, it shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage
prepaid, properly addressed. Each such notice, consent, demand or other
communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, 72 hours after such
communication is deposited in the mails as aforesaid or (ii) if given by any
other means, when delivered at the address specified.
16. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, and the rights of the parties
hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
A. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (hereinafter the "Owner")
hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY CORPORATION,
a Florida corporation, its successors and assigns (hereinafter the
"Assignee"), the following specific rights (and only those specific rights) in
and to the policies listed on Exhibit A issued by the respective insurers
(hereinafter the "Insurers") shown on Exhibit A, and any supplementary
contract or contracts issued in connection therewith (said policies and any
such contracts hereinafter the "Policies"), insuring the lives of William C.
France and Betty Jane France (hereinafter the "Insureds"), subject to all the
terms and conditions of the Policies and to all superior liens, if any, which
the Insurers may have against the Policies. The Owner, by this Assignment, and
the Assignee, by acceptance of the assignment of the Policies to it hereunder,
agree to the terms and conditions contained herein.
B. This assignment is made, and the Policies are to be held as
collateral security for, all liabilities of the Owner to the Assignee, now
existing or hereafter arising under and pursuant to that certain Split-Dollar
Agreement, by and between the Owner and the Assignee dated of even date
herewith (hereinafter the "Agreement"). The Owner reserves all rights and
powers in and to the Policies, except those specific, limited rights granted
in the Policies to the Assignee hereby, as security for the liabilities of the
Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement.
C. It is expressly agreed that the Assignee's interest in the
Policies under and by virtue of this Assignment shall be limited to the
following specific rights, and no others: (a) the right to be paid the amount
due it under the Agreement by recovering said amount out of the net death
proceeds of the Policies, upon the death of the survivor of the Insureds; and
(b) the right to be paid the amount due it under the Agreement by recovering
said amount from the net cash surrender proceeds of the Policies, in the event
the Policies are surrendered or canceled by the Owner. The Assignee shall have
no other rights or powers in and to the Policies as a result of the assignment
to it hereunder and specifically shall not have the right or power to borrow
against or obtain loans or advances on the Policies, make withdrawals from the
Policies, nor cancel or surrender the Policies.
D. Notwithstanding this Assignment, the Owner shall specifically
retain all incidents of ownership in and to the Policies, including, but not
limited to: (a) the sole right to cancel or surrender the Policies and receive
the surrender value thereof at any time provided by the terms of the Policies
and at such other times as the Insurers may allow; (b) the sole right to
collect and receive all distributions or shares of surplus, dividend deposits
or additions to the Policies now or hereafter made or apportioned thereto, and
to exercise any and all options contained in the Policies with respect
thereto; (c) the sole right to exercise all non-forfeiture rights permitted by
the terms of the Policies or allowed by the Insurers and to receive all
benefits and advantages derived therefrom; (d) the sole right to designate and
change the beneficiaries of the Policies (for any amount in excess of the
amount due the Assignee under the Agreement); (e) the sole right to elect any
optional mode of settlement permitted by the Policies or allowed by the
Insurer: (f) the sole right to borrow against, obtain loans or advances on,
or make withdrawals from the Policies; (g) the sole right to assign the
Policies (subject to this Assignment and Agreement); and (h) the sole right to
collect directly from the Insurers that portion of the net death proceeds of
the Policies in excess of those proceeds payable to the Assignee under the
Agreement; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights retained by the
Owner in the Policies shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement.
E. Notwithstanding anything in this Assignment to the contrary, the
Insurers shall be under no obligation to monitor the obligation of the
Assignee hereunder to pay to the persons entitled thereto any amounts received
from the Insurers remaining after payment of the then existing liabilities of
the Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement; the Insurers shall have no
obligation or liability to any person or entity if the Assignee fails to pay
such amounts as required hereunder.
F. The Insurers are hereby authorized to recognize, and are protected
in recognizing, the Assignee's claims to amounts due it hereunder without
investigating the validity of its claim thereto, the reason for any action
taken by the Assignee, the validity or accuracy of the amount of any of the
liabilities of the Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement, the existence of
any default therein, the giving of any notice required herein, or the
application to be made by the Assignee of any amounts to be paid to the
Assignee. The sole receipt of the Assignee for any amounts received by it
shall be a full discharge and release therefor to the Insurer.
G. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Assignee shall
be under no obligation to pay any premium on the Policies or the principal of
or interest on any loans or advances on the Policies, whether or not obtained
by the Assignee, or any other charges on the Policies.
H. The Insurers shall be fully protected in recognizing the request
made by the Owner for cancellation or surrender of the Policies, with or
without the consent of the Assignee, and upon such cancellation or surrender,
the Policies shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.
I. Upon the full payment of the liabilities of the Owner to the
Assignee pursuant to the Agreement, the Assignee shall promptly release this
Assignment and thereby reassign to the Owner all specific rights in the
Policies included herein.
J. The Assignee may take or release other security, may grant
extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to the obligations of the
Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement, or may apply the proceeds of the
Policies hereby assigned or any amount received on account of the policies by
the exercise of any right permitted under this assignment, without resorting
to or regard to other security for such obligations, if any.
K. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Assignment and the provisions of the Agreement with respect to the Policies or
the Assignee's rights therein, the provisions of this Assignment shall
prevail.
L. The Owner declares that no proceedings in bankruptcy are pending
against the Owner, and that the Owner's property is not subject to any
assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Owner.
Signed and sealed this ______ day of October, 1995.

The policies of life insurance described below, on the lives of William
C. France and his wife, Betty Jane France, are subject to the provisions of
this Assignment.
Company Policy # Face Amount
SPLIT-DOLLAR AGREEMENT
THIS SPLIT DOLLAR AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of
the 17th day of October, 1995, by and among INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY
CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (hereinafter referred to as the
"Corporation"), JAMES C. FRANCE ("James"), SHARON M. FRANCE ("Sharon") and J &
S POLICY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Nevada limited partnership, by and through its
sole general partner, TERTIARY INVESTMENT COMPANY, a Nevada corporation (the
"Owner").
R E C I T A T I O N S
A. James is an executive officer of the Corporation.
B. James and Sharon (referred to hereinafter together as the
"Insureds") are husband and wife.
C. The Corporation desires to help James create a life insurance
program for the benefit of his family by the establishment of a split-dollar
life insurance plan and the payment of a portion of the premiums on the
second-to-die life insurance policies described on Schedule "A" attached
hereto (collectively, the "Policy") on the lives of the Insureds.
D. The Owner possesses or will possess all incidents of ownership in
and to the Policy.
E. The Corporation wishes to have the Policy collaterally assigned to
it by the Owner, in order to secure the repayment of the amounts that the
Corporation paid or will pay in respect of the premiums on the Policy as more
fully specified herein.
F. The parties intend that by such collateral assignment the
Corporation shall receive only the right to such repayment, with the Owner
retaining all other ownership rights in the Policy, as specified herein.
O P E R A T I V E P R O V I S I O N S
IN CONSIDERATION of the foregoing recitations, the mutual covenants of
the parties set forth herein and other good and valuable considerations, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged hereby, the parties hereto,
intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE OF POLICY. The Owner has applied to the Insurance
Company for the Policy, and with the assistance of the Corporation, will take
all reasonable steps to cause the Policy to be issued. When the Policy is
issued, the insurance company, policy number, effective date, face amount and
plan of insurance shall be recorded on Schedule A attached hereto, and the
Policy shall become subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Owner owns or
will own the Policy issued by the insurers described on Schedule "A" attached
hereto (collectively, the "Insurer"). The parties hereto have taken or will
take all action that may be necessary to cause the Policy to conform to the
provisions of this Agreement.
2. OWNERSHIP OF POLICY.
(a) The Owner shall be the sole and absolute owner of the Policy
and may exercise all ownership rights granted to the owner thereof by the
terms of the Policy, except as may otherwise be provided herein.
(b) It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement and the
collateral assignment executed by the Owner in favor of the Corporation in
connection herewith that the Owner shall retain all rights that the Policy
grants to the owner thereof, except the right of the Corporation to its
Collateral Interest in the Policy. The Corporation's "Collateral Interest" in
the Policy shall mean the aggregate sum of all premiums then or theretofore
paid by the Corporation to the Insurance Company and credited to the Policy,
including any amounts considered taxable "economic benefit" to the Insureds as
a result of such premium payments. The Corporation shall neither have nor
exercise any right as collateral assignee of the Policy that could in any way
defeat or impair the Owner's right to receive the death proceeds of the Policy
in excess of the amount due the Corporation hereunder. All provisions of this
Agreement and of such collateral assignment shall be construed so as to carry
out such intention.
3. PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS.
(a) The Owner may elect to pay part or all of any premiums on
the Policy and shall deliver notice of such election to the Corporation on or
before the premium due date.
(b) The Corporation shall advance on behalf of the Owner an
amount equal to all premiums on the Policy not paid by the Owner. The amount
advanced by the Corporation shall not exceed $455,000 per year for a period
not exceeding eight years. The Corporation shall pay all such advances
directly to the Insurer within the grace period following the due date of each
such premium.
(c) It is currently anticipated that on the date first set forth
above and each anniversary date thereof the Corporation shall advance annually
out of its own funds a sufficient sum to make up the requisite net annual
premium (*i.e., the full premium less the amount that the Owner has
contributed). While both Insureds are alive, the Insureds shall be deemed to
receive a taxable economic benefit in an amount equal to the sum of v * qx *
qy' where v = 1/1.025, qx and qy = the annual mortality rates for ages x and
y, respectively, computed from the values in U.S. Life Table 38, and x and y =
the ages of James and Sharon, respectively, on the due date of each annual
premium. After the death of the first of the Insureds to die, the surviving
Insured shall be deemed to receive a taxable economic benefit in an amount
equal to the economic benefit based on the surviving Insured pursuant to the
provisions of Rev. Rul. 64-328, 1964-2 CB 11, Rev. Rul. 66-110, 1966-1 CB 12,
Rev. Rul. 55-747, 1955-2 CB 228 and Rev. Rul. 67-154, 1967-1 CB 11.
5. PAYMENT OF BONUSES. In order to minimize the tax consequences of
this plan on the Insureds during the term of this Agreement the Corporation
agrees to provide additional annual compensation in the form of a bonus to the
Insureds for a period of no more than 15 years in an amount equal to the
applicable federal income taxes on the taxable economic benefit as a result of
the premium payments by the Corporation plus an amount equal to the applicable
federal income taxes on the aggregate bonuses.
6. COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT. To secure the repayment to the Corporation
of its Collateral Interest in the Policy, the Owner shall assign the Policy to
the Corporation as collateral, pursuant to the form of collateral assignment
attached hereto as Exhibit "1" (the "Collateral Assignment"). Such repayment
shall not exceed (i) the cash surrender value of the Policy if this Agreement
is terminated or if the Owner surrenders or cancels the Policy, or (ii) the
death proceeds of the Policy if both of the Insureds should die while the
Policy and this Agreement remain in force. In no event shall the Corporation
have any right to borrow against the Policy. The Collateral Assignment of the
Policy to the Corporation hereunder shall not be terminated, altered or
amended by the Owner without the express written consent of the Corporation.
The parties hereto agree to take all action necessary to cause such Collateral
Assignment to conform to the provisions of this Agreement.
7. LIMITATION ON OWNER'S RIGHTS IN POLICY.
(a) The Owner shall take no action with respect to the Policy
that would in any way compromise or jeopardize the Corporation's right to be
repaid its Collateral Interest in the Policy.
(b) The Owner shall have the sole right to surrender or cancel
the Policy and to receive the full cash surrender value of the Policy directly
from the Insurer. Upon the surrender or cancellation of the Policy, the
Corporation shall have the unqualified right to receive its Collateral
Interest in the Policy. Immediately upon receipt of the cash value, the Owner
shall pay to the Corporation its Collateral Interest in the Policy.
8. COLLECTION OF DEATH PROCEEDS.
(a) Following the deaths of both Insureds, the Corporation and
the Owner promptly shall take all action necessary to obtain the death benefit
provided under the Policy.
(b) The Corporation shall have the unqualified right to receive
a portion of such death benefit equal to its Collateral Interest in the
Policy. The balance of the death benefit provided under the Policy, if any,
shall be paid directly to the Owner, pursuant to the beneficiary designation
for the Policy. In no event shall the amount payable to the Corporation
hereunder exceed the Policy proceeds payable at the death of the Insureds. No
amount shall be paid from such death benefit by the Owner until the full
amount due the Corporation hereunder has been paid. The parties hereto agree
that the beneficiary designation provisions of the Policy shall conform to the
provisions hereof.
9. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
(a) This Agreement shall terminate, without notice, upon the
occurrence of (i) the total cessation of the business of the Corporation or
(ii) the bankruptcy, receivership or dissolution of the Corporation.
(b) In addition, at any time, the Corporation or the Owner shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement, by written notice to the other
parties hereto, at any time that the cash surrender value of the Policy equals
or exceeds the aggregate sum of all premiums then or theretofore paid by the
Corporation to the Insurance Company and credited to the Policy, including
amounts considered "economic benefit" to the Insureds as a result of such
premium payments. Such termination shall be effective as of the date of such
notice.
10. DISPOSITION OF POLICY ON TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.
(a) Within sixty (60)days following the date of the termination
of this Agreement, the Owner shall obtain from the Corporation the release of
the Collateral Assignment of the Policy. To obtain such release, the Owner
shall repay to the Corporation its Collateral Interest in the Policy. Upon
receipt of such amount, the Corporation shall release the Collateral
Assignment of the Policy by the execution and delivery of an appropriate
instrument of release.
(b) If the Owner fails to obtain the release of the Collateral
Assignment within such sixty (60) day period, then the Corporation may enforce
its right to be repaid its Collateral Interest in the Policy from the cash
surrender value of the Policy under the Collateral Assignment of the Policy.
11. INSURER NOT A PARTY. The Insurer shall be fully discharged from
its obligations under the Policy by payment of the Policy death benefits to
the beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the Policy, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Policy. In no event shall the Insurer be considered a party
to this Agreement or any modification or amendment thereof. No provision of
this Agreement, or of any modification or amendment hereof, shall be construed
in any way as enlarging, changing, varying or in any other way affecting the
obligations of the Insurer as expressly provided in the Policy, except insofar
as the provisions hereof are made a part of the Policy by the Collateral
Assignment executed by the Owner and filed with the Insurer in connection
herewith.
12. NAMED FIDUCIARY; DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS; CLAIMS PROCEDURE; AND
ADMINISTRATION.
(a) The Corporation is hereby designated as the named fiduciary
under this Agreement. The named fiduciary shall have authority to control and
manage the operation and administration of this Agreement. All premiums in
respect of the Policy shall be paid to the Insurer when due, pursuant to
Paragraph 3 of this Agreement.
(b) The Corporation shall make all determinations concerning
rights to benefits under this Agreement. Any decision by the Corporation
denying a claim by the Owner for benefits under this Agreement shall be stated
in writing and delivered or mailed to the Owner. Such decision shall set
forth the specific reasons for the denial, written, to the best of the
Corporation's ability, in a manner that may be understood without legal or
actuarial counsel. In addition, the Corporation shall afford a reasonable
opportunity to the Owner for a full and fair review of the decision denying
such claim. In no event shall the Corporation, acting as the named fiduciary,
perform any such act that violates the prohibited transaction rules of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
13. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or
modified, except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors or assigns, and may not be terminated otherwise, except
as provided herein.
14. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Corporation and the Owner, and their respective
successors and assigns, and the Insureds, and their respective successors,
assigns, heirs, executors and administrators.
15. NOTICE. Any notice, consent, demand or other communication
required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall
be in writing (including telefacsimile transmission or similar writing) and
shall be given to such party at its address or telefacsimile number set forth
on Schedule "B" attached hereto or as given subsequently to the sender by the
addressee. Such notice shall be signed by the party giving or making the
same. If such notice, consent, demand or other communication is mailed to a
party hereto, it shall be sent by United States certified mail, postage
prepaid, properly addressed. Each such notice, consent, demand or other
communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, 72 hours after such
communication is deposited in the mails as aforesaid or (ii) if given by any
other means, when delivered at the address specified.
16. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, and the rights of the parties

<PAGE> COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
A. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (hereinafter the "Owner")
hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY CORPORATION,
a Florida corporation, its successors and assigns (hereinafter the
"Assignee"), the following specific rights (and only those specific rights) in
and to the policies listed on Exhibit A issued by the respective insurers
(hereinafter the "Insurers") shown on Exhibit A, and any supplementary
contract or contracts issued in connection therewith (said policies and any
such contracts hereinafter the "Policies"), insuring the lives of James C.
France and Sharon M. France (hereinafter the "Insureds"), subject to all the
terms and conditions of the Policies and to all superior liens, if any, which
the Insurers may have against the Policies. The Owner, by this Assignment, and
the Assignee, by acceptance of the assignment of the Policies to it hereunder,
agree to the terms and conditions contained herein.
B. This assignment is made, and the Policies are to be held as
collateral security for, all liabilities of the Owner to the Assignee, now
existing or hereafter arising under and pursuant to that certain Split-Dollar
Agreement, by and between the Owner and the Assignee dated of even date
herewith (hereinafter the "Agreement"). The Owner reserves all rights and
powers in and to the Policies, except those specific, limited rights granted
in the Policies to the Assignee hereby, as security for the liabilities of the
Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement.
C. It is expressly agreed that the Assignee's interest in the
Policies under and by virtue of this Assignment shall be limited to the
following specific rights, and no others: (a) the right to be paid the amount
due it under the Agreement by recovering said amount out of the net death
proceeds of the Policies, upon the death of the survivor of the Insureds; and
(b) the right to be paid the amount due it under the Agreement by recovering
said amount from the net cash surrender proceeds of the Policies, in the event
the Policies are surrendered or canceled by the Owner. The Assignee shall have
no other rights or powers in and to the Policies as a result of the assignment
to it hereunder and specifically shall not have the right or power to borrow
against or obtain loans or advances on the Policies, make withdrawals from the
Policies, nor cancel or surrender the Policies.
D. Notwithstanding this Assignment, the Owner shall specifically
retain all incidents of ownership in and to the Policies, including, but not
limited to: (a) the sole right to cancel or surrender the Policies and receive
the surrender value thereof at any time provided by the terms of the Policies
and at such other times as the Insurers may allow; (b) the sole right to
collect and receive all distributions or shares of surplus, dividend deposits
or additions to the Policies now or hereafter made or apportioned thereto, and
to exercise any and all options contained in the Policies with respect
thereto; (c) the sole right to exercise all non-forfeiture rights permitted by
the terms of the Policies or allowed by the Insurers and to receive all
benefits and advantages derived therefrom; (d) the sole right to designate and
change the beneficiaries of the Policies (for any amount in excess of the
amount due the Assignee under the Agreement); (e) the sole right to elect any
optional mode of settlement permitted by the Policies or allowed by the
Insurer: (f) the sole right to borrow against, obtain loans or advances on,
or make withdrawals from the Policies; (g) the sole right to assign the
Policies (subject to this Assignment and Agreement); and (h) the sole right to
collect directly from the Insurers that portion of the net death proceeds of
the Policies in excess of those proceeds payable to the Assignee under the
Agreement; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights retained by the
Owner in the Policies shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement.
E. Notwithstanding anything in this Assignment to the contrary, the
Insurers shall be under no obligation to monitor the obligation of the
Assignee hereunder to pay to the persons entitled thereto any amounts received
from the Insurers remaining after payment of the then existing liabilities of
the Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement; the Insurers shall have no
obligation or liability to any person or entity if the Assignee fails to pay
such amounts as required hereunder.
F. The Insurers are hereby authorized to recognize, and are protected
in recognizing, the Assignee's claims to amounts due it hereunder without
investigating the validity of its claim thereto, the reason for any action
taken by the Assignee, the validity or accuracy of the amount of any of the
liabilities of the Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement, the existence of
any default therein, the giving of any notice required herein, or the
application to be made by the Assignee of any amounts to be paid to the
Assignee. The sole receipt of the Assignee for any amounts received by it
shall be a full discharge and release therefor to the Insurer.
G. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Assignee shall
be under no obligation to pay any premium on the Policies or the principal of
or interest on any loans or advances on the Policies, whether or not obtained
by the Assignee, or any other charges on the Policies.
H. The Insurers shall be fully protected in recognizing the request
made by the Owner for cancellation or surrender of the Policies, with or
without the consent of the Assignee, and upon such cancellation or surrender,
the Policies shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.
I. Upon the full payment of the liabilities of the Owner to the
Assignee pursuant to the Agreement, the Assignee shall promptly release this
Assignment and thereby reassign to the Owner all specific rights in the
Policies included herein.
J. The Assignee may take or release other security, may grant
extensions, renewals or indulgences with respect to the obligations of the
Owner to the Assignee under the Agreement, or may apply the proceeds of the
Policies hereby assigned or any amount received on account of the policies by
the exercise of any right permitted under this assignment, without resorting
to or regard to other security for such obligations, if any.
K. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Assignment and the provisions of the Agreement with respect to the Policies or
the Assignee's rights therein, the provisions of this Assignment shall
prevail.
L. The Owner declares that no proceedings in bankruptcy are pending
against the Owner, and that the Owner's property is not subject to any
assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Owner.
Signed and sealed this _____ day of October, 1995.
