SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY (this “
Guaranty ”) dated September 28, 2007 made by the
Persons listed on the signature pages hereof under the caption
“Subsidiary Guarantors” (each a “ Subsidiary
Guarantor ”), in favor of the Lenders whose names are set
forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “ Lenders
”).
WHEREAS, Dirt Motor Sports, Inc.
d/b/a World Racing Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Company ”) and the Lenders are parties to a Note
Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the “ Note
Purchase Agreement ”; the terms defined therein and not
otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein
defined);
WHEREAS, each Subsidiary Guarantor
will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the
transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement;
and
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent
to the Lenders making the loan evidenced by the Notes to the
Company that each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have executed and
delivered this Subsidiary Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make the loans
under the Note Purchase Agreement, each Subsidiary Guarantor,
jointly and severally with each other Subsidiary Guarantor, hereby
agrees as follows:
1. No
Impairment . The Lenders may at any time and from
time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without
notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of
payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or
extend any of the obligations under the Transaction Documents (the
“ Obligations ”) or increase or decrease the
interest rate thereon, or any other agreement with the Company or
with any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations,
or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment,
compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or
for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement
between the Lenders and the Company or any such other party or
person, or make any election of rights the Lenders may deem
desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or
any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium
or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally (any of the foregoing, an “
Insolvency Law ”) without in any way impairing or
affecting this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be
effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any change in the composition,
nature, personnel or location of the Company and shall extend to
any successor entity to the Company, including a debtor in
possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.
2. Guaranty
Absolute . Each of the undersigned jointly and
severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes
or the other Transaction Documents, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Company with
respect thereto. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
knowingly accept the full range of risk encompassed within a
contract of “continuing guaranty” which risk includes
the possibility that the Company will contract additional
obligations and liabilities for which the Subsidiary Guarantors may
be liable hereunder after the Company’s financial condition
or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has
deteriorated, whether or not the Company has properly authorized
incurring such additional obligations and
liabilities. The undersigned acknowledge that (i) no
oral representations, including any representations to extend
credit or provide other financial accommodations to the Company,
have been made by the Lenders to induce the undersigned to enter
into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Company
shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Transaction
Documents. The liability of each of the undersigned
under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and
effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended,
discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance
or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any
waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification
of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any
other action or inaction under or in respect of the Note Purchase
Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or any
assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or
enforceability of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the
other Transaction Documents or any assignment or transfer of any
thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to the
Lenders or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release
of any security by the Lenders or its assignees, (d) any limitation
on any party’s liability or obligation under the Note
Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or
any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or
unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document,
instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to the Company, or
any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or
receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not
the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the
foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any
collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the
Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to the
Lenders shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at
the highest rate then applicable to the
Obligations. Obligations include post-petition interest
whether or not allowed or allowable.
3. Waivers

(a) This Guaranty is a
guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Lenders
shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or

person or entity liable with respect to any of the Obligations or
resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the
Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being
obligated to perform as agreed herein and each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by
statute or otherwise which would require the Lenders to do any of
the foregoing. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors further
consents and agrees that the Lenders shall be under no obligation
to marshal any assets in favor of the Subsidiary Guarantor, or
against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all
suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense,
counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the
undersigned may have or which may exist between and among the
Lenders, the Company and/or the undersigned with respect to the
undersigned’s obligations under this Guaranty, or which the
Company may assert on the underlying debt, including but not
limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud,
payment (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations),

Company’s financial condition or of any other fact which
might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii)
presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable
upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment,

the rights of the Lenders against the Company or against any
collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by the Lenders for
the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or
be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the
Company in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder,
until all amounts owing to the Lenders by the Company on account of
the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the
undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when
all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the Lenders,
segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith
upon, and in any event within two (2) business days of, receipt by
the undersigned, be turned over to the Lenders in the exact form
received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to
the Lenders, if required), to be applied against the Obligations
pro rata among the Lenders, whether matured or unmatured, in such
order as the Lenders may determine, subject to the provisions of
the Transaction Documents. Any and all present and
future obligations and liabilities of the Company to any of the
undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and
subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all
Obligations of the Company to the Lenders.
