(a) As consideration for the sale of Purchased Assets, at
Closing Purchaser shall (i) pay to the Seller a total of $4,000,000 (the
"Purchase Price"), as adjusted by Section 1.15, and (ii) assume the Assumed
Liabilities by executing and delivering to Seller an Assignment of Contracts
(the "Contract Assignment") in substantially the form of Exhibit B, an
Assignment of Leases (the "Lease Assignment") in substantially the form of
Exhibit C and a Xxxx of Sale (the "Xxxx of Sale") in substantially the form of
Exhibit D. The Purchase Price shall be payable by Purchaser as follows:

(b) On or before the close of business on Thursday, April 2,
1998, Purchaser shall have deposited into an interest bearing escrow (the
"Escrow") established with Chicago Title Company ("Deposit Holder") the sum of
$1,000,000, in immediately available funds (such amount, together with the
interest earned thereon, being hereinafter referred to as the "Deposit"). The
Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price.

(c) At Closing, (i) Purchaser's promissory note in the amount of
$2,666,666 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Note") and (ii) such
sum as may be necessary to make Purchaser's total cash deposit with Deposit
Holder equal the Purchase Price, after giving effect to any and all of
Purchaser's and Seller's credits and debits pursuant hereto, including, without
limitation, the Deposit and the face amount of the Note.

(d) [Intentionally omitted]

(e) [Intentionally omitted]

(f) Purchaser and Seller agree that all sums deposited by
Purchaser pursuant hereto shall be invested in treasury bills, certificates of
deposit, short term money market instruments or bank repurchase contracts
approved by Purchaser and Seller, in such manner as to make all such sums (and
the interest earned thereon) available on the date for Closing. Purchaser and
Seller hereby instruct Deposit Holder to so invest such sums and to return to
Purchaser, upon Closing, all sums in excess of those needed to satisfy
Purchaser's obligations hereunder to Seller. Interest earned thereon shall be
for the account of Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide Deposit Holder with
Purchaser's taxpayer identification number for use in opening the Escrow.

(g) Any funds to be delivered hereunder shall be immediately
available federal funds wire transferred. It shall be Purchaser's responsibility
to obtain adequate wiring instructions for an escrow account of Deposit Holder.

(h) If the Closing shall fail to occur solely because of the
breach of Purchaser under this Agreement, then Deposit Holder shall deliver the
Deposit to Seller, and Seller shall be entitled to retain the Deposit, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty and as Seller's sole remedy; it being
agreed, for purposes of this Section 1.5(h) only, that it shall be a breach of
Purchaser under this Agreement if, without limitation, Purchaser shall not have
entered into the Assignment and Assumption with The Sports Club Company, Inc.
However, if Closing shall thereafter fail to occur for any other reason or
reasons, then Deposit Holder shall return the Deposit promptly to Purchaser upon
Purchaser's request therefor at any time after the scheduled date for Closing,
or on such sooner date as this transaction is cancelled by Purchaser and Seller.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THEY HAVE NEGOTIATED WITH REGARD TO THE DETERMINATION OF
DAMAGES AND HAVE CONCLUDED THAT, IF CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR SOLELY BECAUSE OF THE
BREACH OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHEN ALL CONTINGENCIES TO CLOSING HAVE
OTHERWISE BEEN SATISFIED OR WAIVED, THEN IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE SELLER'S DAMAGES, THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A
REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES IN SUCH EVENT, AND THAT THE SELLER, AS ITS
SOLE REMEDY AND NOT AS A PENALTY, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. UPON PAYMENT OF SAID SUM TO SELLER, PURCHASER SHALL BE
RELEASED FROM ANY FURTHER LIABILITY TO SELLER, AND ANY ESCROW CANCELLATION FEES
AND TITLE COMPANY CHARGES SHALL BE PAID BY PURCHASER. THE PARTIES HEREBY
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE IN EQUAL BARGAINING POSITIONS, ARE SOPHISTICATED IN
BUSINESS MATTERS AND WERE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AT ALL TIMES DURING THE
NEGOTIATION OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION.

1.8 PURCHASER'S CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

(a) Purchaser's obligations to consummate the Transactions are
conditioned upon the following, each of which shall be a condition precedent,
except for Section 1.8(a)(vii), which shall be a condition concurrent:

(i) All Seller Delivery Items and all Joint Delivery
Items executed by Seller shall have been deposited into the Escrow.

been delivered to Purchaser on or before Closing, except (A) if and to the

security code for the Club shall be present at the Club at Closing.

(iii) All of the representations and warranties of
Seller contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the Closing Date as though republished and remade on and as of that
date; it being expressly understood and agreed, however, that changes in
representations and warranties which do not have a material adverse effect upon
the business of the Club shall in no event be a basis giving rise to a right of
Purchaser to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.8(c).

(iv) Seller shall have performed and complied with all
of its obligations and covenants hereunder in all material respects.

(v) The "Due Diligence Period" shall conclusively be
deemed to have expired upon the execution of this Agreement by Purchaser and
Seller.

(vi) There is no Proceeding pending or threatened
pertaining to the Transactions or their consummation that shall have been
instituted or threatened by any Governmental Body or Person.

(vii) No Legal Requirement or Order shall have been
enacted, entered, issued, promulgated or enforced by any Governmental Body, nor
shall any

Proceeding have been instituted or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened
and remain so by any Governmental Body, at what would otherwise be the Closing
Date which would impair Purchaser's ability, following the Closing Date, to
continue to operate the Club as presently operated, except for any Legal
Requirement affecting the operation of an adult entertainment venue within a
residential neighborhood.

(b) Seller shall have the right to modify, update and supplement
all representations, warranties, exhibits and schedules attached to or delivered
in connection with this Agreement through the Closing Date (any such
modification, update or supplement, a "Modification"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Seller makes any Modification and if such Modification would be
likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Club and/or its operations,
then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving a
notice to Seller terminating this Agreement within 5 days of Purchaser's receipt
of the Modification, and whether or not the Due Diligence Period has expired. If
such 5-day period would expire after the Outside Closing Date (as defined
below), then the Outside Closing Date shall be extended accordingly. In the
event of any such termination, the Deposit shall be returned promptly to
Purchaser, and the parties will have no further obligations to each other
hereunder. Purchaser's failure to give any such termination notice to Seller
within such 5-day period shall conclusively be deemed to be Purchaser's approval
of any such Modification. From the date hereof until Closing, if Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx or Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, on behalf of Seller, learns of any fact or
circumstance which causes, or has a reasonable likelihood of causing, a
representation or warranty of Seller's hereunder to be untrue or misleading, or
learns of any other fact or circumstance which materially affects the Purchased
Assets, Seller shall notify Purchaser within five days after Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx or Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx learns thereof (but in no event later than
Closing).

(c) If (i) Seller shall not have been able to obtain any
required government or third party consent or approval, (ii) any material
representation or warranty of Seller shall prove to have been inaccurate or
untrue in any material respect when first made or (iii) Seller shall not have
performed, in any material respect, any of its material covenants contained in
this Agreement, and in each case by Closing, then Purchaser shall be entitled,
without limitation, (A) not to consummate, pursuant to Section 1.9(a), the
Transactions and have the Deposit Holder or Seller, as applicable, return to
Purchaser the Deposit (but without any interest thereon for such period of time,
if any, as it may have been held by Seller) less any termination fees and
expenses of Deposit Holder, or (B) to consummate the Transactions if Purchaser,
in its sole discretion, is willing to consummate the Transactions on such basis.

1.9 CLOSING.

(a) Closing shall occur, if at all, on or before Wednesday,
April 15, 1998 (the "Outside Closing Date"). If all conditions precedent set
forth in Sections 1.7 and 1.8 have not been satisfied or waived and the Closing
shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Closing Date, then either
Purchaser or Seller may unilaterally cancel this Agreement, at any time
thereafter prior to such satisfaction or waiver, by notice to the

other, except that if the unsatisfied condition(s) is for the benefit of the
party not giving said notice, then such party shall have the right, within ten
days after its being served with said notice, to waive such unsatisfied
condition(s) and proceed to effect Closing immediately. Eleven days after the
effective date of said notice, if Closing has not been agreed to by the party
not giving said notice, as provided above, then, subject to Section 1.5(h), all
funds deposited by Purchaser, and all interest earned thereon, shall be returned
immediately to Purchaser.

(b) Consummation of the Transactions (the "Closing") will take
place at the offices of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP, 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000 on the Closing Date.

(c) If Closing has not occurred in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate
without any further action required, and the parties shall have no further
liability hereunder.

(d) When all conditions precedent to Closing set forth in
Sections 1.7 and 1.8 shall have been satisfied, or Deposit Holder shall have
received written instruction from the party or parties, or their respective
counsel, for whose benefit any such unsatisfied condition precedent exists
waiving the satisfaction of such conditions precedent, and when each of the
parties hereto shall have otherwise instructed Deposit Holder to proceed with
the Closing, then Deposit Holder shall take the following actions in the
following order:

(i) Insert the "Endorsed Date" (as defined therein) on
the last page of the Note.

originally executed Note) to Seller in accordance with Seller's instructions.

sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser or in connection with any of the
Transactions.

1.13 ACCOUNTING TREATMENT. The parties intend that the Acquisition will
be treated as a purchase for accounting purposes.

1.14 TAX CONSEQUENCES. For federal income tax purposes, the Acquisition
is intended to constitute a taxable transaction.

1.15 PRORATIONS.

(a) Except as otherwise hereinafter provided, at and as of
Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall prorate in cash (i) real property taxes and
assessments for the Purchased Assets on the basis of the current fiscal year if
and to the extent that Seller shall be liable for real property taxes and
assessments under the Real Property Leases, (ii) rents under the Real Property
Leases, (iii) rents under any Personal Property Leases described in Schedule
1.1(e), (iv) utility and sewer charges, (v) management fees under the Management
Agreement, (vi) payments under the Assumed Contracts, (vii) operating expenses,
and (viii) other items customarily prorated in transactions of this sort. Seller
shall give Purchaser a credit at Closing in the amount of any deposits under any
Subleases that are to be Assumed Contracts.

(b) No pro ration shall be made for insurance premiums on
insurance policies of Seller (none of which Purchaser elects to accept and none
of which Seller elects to assign), for employee salaries, vacations, benefits,
bonuses, payroll taxes or other employee costs. Seller shall terminate, or cause
to be terminated, as of Closing all employees and independent contractors
working at the Club and shall pay, or cause to be paid, all employee salaries,
vacations, benefits, bonuses, payroll taxes and other employee and independent
contractor costs as of and including the Closing Date. Seller represents and
warrants to Purchaser that it has fewer than 50 employees working at the Club
who are full time employees, as full time employees are defined under the WARN
Act. Subject to the willingness of such employees and independent contractors to
be interviewed and, if asked by Purchaser, to be rehired, Purchaser shall be
permitted to interview and, at its election, rehire, from and after Closing, any
or all of such terminated employees and independent contractors and shall
provide all such rehired employees (but not any rehired independent contractors)
with health care insurance and benefits and worker's compensation insurance
generally consistent with that generally provided by Purchaser to its employees.

(c) At and as of the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Seller
shall proportionately allocate all prepaid items of income ("Prepaid Income"),
including without limitation monthly dues, Prepaid Dues, and gift certificates;
provided that there shall be no

such proportionate allocation of up to 36,000 months of Prepaid Dues. "Prepaid
Dues" shall mean total cash consideration, whether designated as membership fees
or otherwise, paid in advance for months of membership sold at the Club;
provided, however, that if a Member is not obligated, from and after Closing, to
pay monthly dues, then all such periods of time from and after Closing for which
such Member is not obligated to pay monthly dues shall be considered when
calculating whether there may be more than 36,000 months of Prepaid Dues. Dues
payable on a monthly basis shall not constitute Prepaid Dues. There shall be no
proportionate allocation of initiation fees, if any, paid and collected in the
Ordinary Course of Business. A blended average monthly rate for the total
consideration paid in advance (whether paid in cash or "financed") for months of
membership in connection with all Prepaid Dues shall be used for purposes of
calculating the dollar value of any Prepaid Dues in excess of 36,000 months.
Payments collected by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, from Members within 30
days following the Closing Date shall be applied (A) first to any prorated
amounts due Seller for the month in which the Closing shall have occurred, (B)
next to any prorated amounts due Purchaser for the month in which the Closing
shall have occurred, (C) next to any amounts due Purchaser for the month
following the month in which the Closing shall have occurred and (D) then to any
accounts receivable due Seller as of the Closing Date for any periods prior to
the month in which the Closing shall have occurred; provided, however, that any
payment, other than monthly dues, made by a Member after Closing shall belong to
Purchaser if such Member is not obligated to pay monthly dues after the making
of such payment. Payments from Members received by Purchaser or Seller, as
applicable, more than 30 days following the Closing Date shall be applied first
to the current period and then to past periods in reverse chronological order,
i.e. to more recent periods before less recent periods; provided, however, that
any payment, other than monthly dues, made by a Member after Closing shall
belong to Purchaser if such Member is not obligated to pay monthly dues after
the making of such payment. Any payments from Members collected by the Seller
from and after the Closing shall be held in trust for the account of Purchaser
and shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser minus any amounts owed to the Seller
as set forth in this Section 1.15(c) together with an accounting of such
payments in reasonable detail. Any payments from Members collected by Purchaser
from and after the Closing that are owed to the Seller as set forth in this
Section 1.15(c) shall be held in trust for the account of the Seller and shall
be promptly remitted to the Seller together with an accounting of such payments
in reasonable detail.

(d) For a period of ninety (90) days following the Closing,
Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall, in accordance with Purchaser's standard
practice in conducting and operating clubs such as the Club, attempt to collect
any monthly dues under those Member Agreements assigned to and assumed by
Purchaser which are attributable to the period prior to the Closing; provided,
however, Purchaser shall have no obligation to commence any actions or
proceedings or take any further action to collect any such compensation, fees,
revenues or income due to Seller hereunder. After the Closing, Seller shall not
take any action against any party to any Membership Agreement assigned to and
assumed by Purchaser by reason of any unpaid monthly dues owed Seller
thereunder.

(e) If real estate taxes and/or assessments, utility charges or
any other item is prorated as of Closing on any basis other than actual amounts
charged for the current period, such item or items shall be re-prorated upon
determination of such actual amounts, and the party owing funds to the other
shall promptly remit such funds to the other; provided, however, that in no
event shall Seller be liable for payment of any increase in real estate taxes if
and to the extent occasioned by any reassessment of the Real Property as a
result of the Acquisition. If either party owing funds hereunder to the other
does not remit them within 30 days after demand therefor, such funds shall
thereafter bear interest at the lesser of 10% per annum and the maximum lawful
rate. In all events, the amount of any refund or credit shall be the amount the
refund or credit would have been without giving effect to the Transactions. The
parties shall further cooperate so as to calculate such net final proration
amount within 180 days of the Closing. Any disagreement with respect to such
final calculation shall be resolved pursuant to binding arbitration before a
"Big 4" accounting firm to be designated by Purchaser or any other accounting
firm that shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Each party shall bear
its own cost and expenses in connection with such arbitration and one-half of
the fees and expenses of the arbitrator. Each party shall be entitled to provide
the arbitrator with such information as each party shall deem appropriate with
respect to the matters to be determined by such arbitrator.

(f) Final proration of percentage rents and similar
apportionable items which are dependent for their calculation upon the economic
performance of any Entity over a specified interval of time shall be
accomplished as follows: The parties shall await the expiration of the specified
interval to determine the gross rents, gross receipts and other economic
performance over the entire interval and then prorate the item by allocating to
Seller the product of the rents or other similar apportionable item for the
entire interval multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days within the specified interval which occur before Closing and the
denominator of which is the number of days in the entire specified interval.

(g) Operating expenses which are payable (or reimbursable) by
any present Subtenant shall not be prorated hereunder (except to the extent that
Seller is due a credit for having already paid such expense). Purchaser shall
send customary statements for reimbursement of operating expenses and taxes to
said tenants after consulting with Seller with respect to appropriate amounts
due therefor, and shall remit to Seller, upon receipt, Seller's prorated share
thereof, determined as provided in subsection (f) above.

(h) If any Subtenant shall owe any sums under its respective
Sublease at Closing, then Seller shall retain its right to pursue such Subtenant
for such sums. Any sums received by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable,
following the Closing Date from any Subtenant shall be applied first to the
current period and then to past periods in reverse chronological order, i.e., to
more recent periods before less recent periods. Any such sums collected by
Seller from and after the Closing shall be held in trust for the account of
Purchaser, and Seller shall promptly remit such sums to Purchaser. Any such

sums collected by Purchaser from and after the Closing that are owed to Seller
as set forth in this section 1.15(h) shall be held in trust for the account of
Seller, and Purchaser shall promptly remit such sums to Seller together with an
accounting of such sums in reasonable detail. Except as set forth in the next
sentence, Purchaser shall have no obligation to attempt to collect any sums due
under any Sublease assigned to and assumed by Purchaser if and to the extent
such sums are attributable to any period prior to the Closing. If Purchaser
pursues any Subtenant for any past due sums under the applicable Sublease, then
Purchaser shall do so only for all such sums that may be past due; provided,
however, that, while Purchaser may settle any past due sums relating to any
period after Closing, Purchaser shall not settle any past due sums relating to
any period prior to Closing without Seller's prior written consent.

(i) Prior to Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall prepare and
agree upon a proforma closing statement as if Closing were occurring at 12:01
a.m. on February 1, 1998 (the "Proforma Closing Statement"). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the proration calculations
otherwise required by this Agreement shall, initially, be performed, at Closing,
based upon the Proforma Closing Statement. As soon as possible after Closing,
however, and in any event in accordance, without limitation, with Section
1.15(e), Purchaser and Seller shall further cooperate so as to calculate a net
final proration amount based upon actual operating results for the Club for the
period through and including the Closing Date.

1.16 DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. As soon as reasonably possible following
execution hereof, if Seller has not already done so, Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser for Purchaser's approval as to form and content, originals or legible
copies of the following , to the extent that they exist and are either in
Seller's possession or may reasonably be obtained by Seller (and, if any of the
following are discovered by and/or prepared by or on behalf of Seller after the
date hereof but prior to Closing, each such item shall be delivered to Purchaser
immediately):

(i) All Contracts; and

(ii) An inventory of all tangible personalty, prepared
to the best of Manager's knowledge, relating to the Club; provided, however,
that Purchaser, if it so elects, may prepare, at Purchaser's cost, such an
inventory itself, either in place of or in addition to Manager's inventory.

29, 1998 and through and including the Closing Date, Seller shall not deviate
from its ordinary and customary operation, maintenance or management of the
Purchased Assets and shall not engage in any transaction other than in the
lawful, ordinary and usual course of business as heretofore conducted. Without
limiting the foregoing, Seller shall maintain in full force and effect until the

provide a scope and amount of coverage which are usual and customary in Seller's
business; not make any non-ordinary wage or salary increases or severance
packages; subject to Purchaser's prior reasonable written approval, not make any

Contracts which provide for a term and payments of month-to-month or less; and
not take, or omit to take, any action which would cause a default under the
Master Lease. Seller shall maintain all of the Purchased Assets in good repair
through Closing, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Seller shall repair, at its sole cost and expense,
all defects in the material or workmanship thereof prior to Closing. Seller
shall remedy prior to Closing any and all violations of or any Legal Requirement
relating to all or any part of the Purchased Assets of which Seller had
Knowledge prior to Closing. Seller shall obtain promptly all government and
third party consents and approvals to the consummation of the Transactions. From
and after the date hereof until Closing, Seller shall lease or rent no space at
the Real Property (including renewal of an existing tenancy) without Purchaser's
prior approval, nor shall Seller otherwise deviate from its ordinary and
customary operation, maintenance, or management of the Purchased Assets. Seller
shall not further encumber the Purchased Assets or any part thereof, convey any
interest therein (other than to Purchaser pursuant hereto) without Purchaser's

any encumbrance to which any part of the Purchased Assets is subject to become
in default prior to Closing. Seller shall not enter into any new service,
maintenance, supply or other contract affecting the Purchased Assets in any way
prior to Closing without Purchaser's prior approval, unless such contract is
cancelable at any time on thirty days' notice or less, without cost to
Purchaser.

6.2 STANDSTILL BY SELLER. From and after January 29, 1998 and through
and including the Closing and for so long as Purchaser shall not be in default
under this Agreement, Seller shall not directly or indirectly, solicit or

Purchaser) concerning any possible proposal regarding a sale of interests in or
a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other similar transaction involving,
Seller or any division or asset of Seller pertaining to the Purchased Assets.

6.3 PURCHASER'S ACCESS. From January 28, 1998, through the Closing Date,
Seller shall give Purchaser and its Representatives, or cause them to be

records of Seller and the Club, and during this period Seller shall furnish
Purchaser with all financial and operating data and all other information as to
the business, properties and assets of Seller and the Club as Purchaser may from
time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that such access and
investigation shall not interfere with the conduct of the Club by Seller. At
Purchaser's

reasonable request, Seller shall direct its Representatives to cooperate with
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.3 at no additional cost to Purchaser. In
undertaking its due diligence, Purchaser shall not disturb, to the minimum
extent reasonably possible, the operations of the Club. The exercise by
Purchaser of any of the preceding rights, or any other act of Purchaser, shall
not negate any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller or modify any of
Purchaser's rights or Seller's obligations in the event of any Breach by Seller
of any of Seller's representations, warranties or covenants of this Agreement.
Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any
and all Damages arising out of any entry within the Club by Purchaser or its
Representatives. The indemnification of Seller by Purchaser in the preceding
sentence shall survive any termination of this agreement or the Closing for a
period of 1 year from and after the date of termination or the Closing, as the
case may be.

6.4 PRESERVATION OF BUSINESS AND RELATIONSHIPS. From January 29, 1998
until the Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
preserve the Club's business and its organization intact, including without
limitation to preserve Seller's present relationships with suppliers, customers
and others having business relationships with Seller regarding the Club. Seller
shall promptly arrange for utility telephone service to be transferred to
Purchaser at Closing.

6.5 NO INCONSISTENT ACTION. Each of the parties hereto will use such
party's commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement and shall not take any action inconsistent with
such party's obligations hereunder or which could hinder or delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.6 DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If prior to Closing the Purchased Assets
shall sustain damage caused by fire or other casualty that is insured and that
would cost One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more to repair or if any
uninsured loss or casualty occurs that would cost One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) or more to repair, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement as
set forth in Section 1.8(b); it being agreed that the occurrence of any such
damage shall require Seller to issue a Modification to Purchaser, as set forth
in Section 1.8. If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate its obligations
under this Agreement, or if the loss or casualty would cost less than One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to repair, the Closing shall take place as
provided herein, and Purchaser shall receive (i) a credit for the amount of
Seller's deductible or retention and (ii) an assignment of Seller's rights to
insurance proceeds with respect to any unrepaired damage (including any rental
loss proceeds for periods after the Closing), loss or casualty in question, but
subject to the rights of existing lienholders. Subject to such rights, Purchaser
shall be entitled to settle the loss with Seller's insurers. Seller shall retain
all interest in and to the insurance proceeds that may be payable to Seller on
account of damage repaired and completed by Seller before Closing, but Seller
shall have no obligation of repair or replacement.

6.7 CONDEMNATION. In the event that the Purchased Assets or any part
thereof becomes the subject of a condemnation proceeding other than of a minor
immaterial nature prior to Closing, Seller agrees to immediately advise
Purchaser thereof. In the event of such condemnation, Purchaser shall have the
option, pursuant to Section 1.8(b), to (1) take title in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and negotiate with the said condemning
authority for the condemnation award and receive the benefits thereof without
affecting the Purchase Price, or (2) terminate this Agreement.

6.8 LIQUOR LICENSE. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser (without cost
or liability to Seller) in Purchaser's obtaining a transfer of any existing
liquor license for the Club or, if such transfer shall not be possible,
obtaining a new liquor license; to Seller's Knowledge, there is no such liquor
license currently existing.

6.9 [Intentionally omitted]

6.10 FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall provide to
Purchaser an affidavit signed under penalty of perjury and complying with the
requirements of U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 1445(b)(2) and an equivalent
Form 590RE provided under the Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of
California. If Seller shall not have timely furnished to Purchaser said
affidavit, Purchaser may, at its option, either (i) adjourn the closing until
such time as Seller has complied with the conditions set forth herein, and such
adjournment shall not place Purchaser in default of its obligations hereunder,
or alternatively (ii) Purchaser may withhold from the Purchase Price and remit
to the Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise Tax Board such withholding as
may be required of Purchaser in accordance with the withholding obligations
imposed upon Purchaser pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 and
equivalent statutes under the Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of
California. Such withholding shall not place Purchaser in default under this
Agreement, and Seller shall not be entitled to claim that such withholding shall
excuse Seller's performance under this Agreement.

6.11 SEC REQUIRED FINANCIAL INFORMATION. At Purchaser's request at any
time from and after January 28, 1998 until the date that is one (1) year after
the Closing Date, Seller shall, at Purchaser's expense, provide to Purchaser's
designated independent auditor reasonable access to the books and records of the
Purchased Assets, regarding the period for which Purchaser is required to have
audited financial statements prepared with respect to the Purchased Assets as
may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, but only to the
extent that such books, records and related information are in Seller's
possession or control and relate to the period during which Seller held title to
the Purchased Assets.

6.12 INVESTMENT IN THE CLUB. Within thirty (30) months after the Closing
Date, but subject to force majeure and any delay caused by any Governmental
Body, Legal Requirement, Order or Proceeding, Purchaser shall spend, or cause to
be spent, no less than ten million dollars ($10,000,000) on improvements to the
Club, inclusive of fixtures, furnishings and equipment.

SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

7.1 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party hereto shall execute and/or cause to
be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents,
and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request
(prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or
evidencing any of the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, the parties
shall duly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further assignments,
conveyances, instruments and documents, and will take such other action
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in each case, as may be reasonably
necessary to assign, transfer and convey to Purchaser good and marketable title
to any and all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, to
carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to comply with
the terms hereof. No party will take or knowingly permit to be taken any action
or do or knowingly permit to be done anything in the conduct of its business, or
otherwise, which would be contrary to or in breach of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement, or which would cause any of the representations or
warranties contained herein to become untrue or incomplete. Each party agrees to
cause its Affiliates to comply with any obligations hereunder for which the
assistance of such Affiliate is necessary or advisable and to take any other
action which may be necessary or reasonably requested by the other party in
order to consummate the Transactions.

7.2 ATTORNEYS' FEES. If any legal action or other legal proceeding
relating to any of the Transactional Agreements or the enforcement of any
provision of any of the Transactional Agreements is brought against any party
hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys'
and expert witness fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other
relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled). Attorneys' fees incurred
in enforcing any judgment in respect of this Agreement are recoverable as a
separate item. The preceding sentence is intended to be severable from the other
provisions of this Agreement and to survive any judgment and, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, shall not be deemed merged into any such judgment.

7.3 NOTICES. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to
be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed properly delivered, given and received when delivered (by hand, by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, by courier or express
delivery service or by telecopier with proof of transmission and receipt) to the
address or telecopier number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or

7.4 PUBLICITY; CONFIDENTIALITY. At all times before and after the
Closing Date and except as may otherwise be required by any Legal Requirement or
by the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange, NASDAQ or the Securities and Exchange Commission:

(a) Prior to the Closing, no press release or other publicity
concerning any of the Transactions shall be issued or otherwise disseminated by
or on behalf of the parties hereto unless mutually agreed upon by the parties in
advance. The parties shall issue a mutually approved press release promptly
following Closing. Each of the parties shall continue to keep the existence and
terms of this Agreement and the other Transactional Agreements strictly
confidential except to the extent such information is publicly available,
lawfully obtained from independent sources or as may be required by any Legal
Requirement or as may otherwise be determined by Purchaser, in good faith, to be
appropriate.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Purchaser agrees to keep confidential
and not to disclose to any third party, other than to Purchaser's actual or
potential lenders or investors or their Representatives, who in turn will agree
to hold such information confidential, any information and material obtained
from Seller or any of its Representatives or to which Purchaser has access
related to the business and assets of Seller except to the extent such
information is publicly available, previously lawfully known to Purchaser,
lawfully obtained from independent sources or as may be required by any Legal
Requirement. No such information shall be used by any such party for their own
benefit. Purchaser will promptly return, and cause all of its actual and
potential lenders, investors and each of its and their respective
Representatives promptly to return, any and all such information to Seller if
Closing does not occur, for any reason whatsoever.

(c) Prior to the Closing, Seller agrees to keep confidential and
not to disclose to any third party, other than to Seller's actual or potential
lenders or investors or their Representatives, who in turn will agree to hold
such information confidential, any information and material obtained from
Purchaser or any of their respective Representatives or to which Seller has
access related to the business and assets of Purchaser except to the extent such
information is publicly available, previously lawfully known to Seller, lawfully
obtained from independent sources or as may be required by any Legal
Requirement. No such information shall be used by any such party for their own
benefit. Seller will promptly return, and cause all of its actual and potential
lenders, investors and each of its and their respective Representatives promptly
to return, any and all such information to Purchaser if Closing does not occur,
for any reason whatsoever.

7.5 NONCOMPETITION/NONSOLICITATION.

(a) Seller agrees that, after the Closing, Purchaser shall be
entitled to the goodwill and going concern value of the Club and to protect and
preserve the same to the maximum extent permitted by law. Seller also
acknowledges that its management contributions to the Club have been uniquely
valuable and that Seller has proprietary information that would be competitively
unfair to make available to any competitor of the Club. For these and other
reasons, and as an inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, for a
period of 3 years from and after the Closing Date neither Seller nor any Entity
in which Seller shall be the real party in interest shall own or manage any
health or fitness or other similar facility located within Manhattan. It shall
not, however, be a breach of this Section 7.5(a) if Seller, or any Entity in
which Seller shall be the real party in interest shall own or manage any health
or fitness or other similar facility of less than 20,000 square feet located
within any hotel as an ancillary service for guests of such hotel.

(b) In addition, to protect Purchaser against any efforts by
Seller to cause employees and/or independent contractors of the Club to
terminate their employment, Seller agrees that for a period of 5 years from and
after the Closing Date, neither Seller nor any Entity in which Seller shall be
the real party in interest shall, directly or indirectly, (i) induce any
employee or independent contractor of the Club to leave the Club or to accept
any other employment or position or (ii) assist any other Entity in hiring such
person.

(c) Seller recognizes and agrees that a breach by Seller, or any
Entity in which Seller shall be the real party in interest, of any of the
covenants set forth in this Section 7.5 could cause irreparable harm to
Purchaser, that Purchaser's remedies at law in the event of such breach would be
inadequate, and that, accordingly, in the event of such breach a restraining
order or injunction or both may be issued against Seller or any such Entity, in
addition to any other rights and remedies which are available to Purchaser. If
this section is more restrictive than permitted by the Legal Requirements of any
jurisdiction in which Purchaser seeks enforcement hereof, then this Section 7.5
shall be limited to the extent required to permit enforcement thereunder. In
particular, the parties intend that the covenants contained in the preceding
portions of this Section 7.5 shall be construed as a series of separate
covenants, one for each county and city within the radius described above.
Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed
identical in terms. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to
enforce any of these separate covenants deemed included in this paragraph, then
such unenforceable covenant shall be deemed eliminated from these provisions for
the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining
separate covenants to be enforced.

(d) No consideration shall be allocated to the covenants set
forth in this Section 7.5.

7.6 TIME OF THE ESSENCE. In connection with consummation of the
Acquisition and the Transactions, the parties agree that time is of the essence;
provided, however, that if any period or time set forth in this Agreement ends
or occurs on a day

which is not a Business Day, then such period or time shall instead end on the
next immediately following Business Day.

of California (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws). The
exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of this letter shall be in either
the federal or state courts located within Los Angeles County, California. Each
party waives the defense of forum non conveniens or any similar doctrine.
Service of process may be made in accordance with the applicable local rules.

7.10 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon: the
Seller and its successors and assigns (if any); and Purchaser and its successors

Purchaser; and the respective successors and assigns (if any) of the foregoing.

indemnification rights under Section 5.2, and not any part thereof, and then

Purchaser and such assignee and pursuant to which such assignee assumes all of
Purchaser's rights, duties and obligations under the Transactional Agreements.
Any such permitted assignment and assumption shall relieve Purchaser of all of
its duties and obligations under the Transactional Agreement.

7.11 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The rights and remedies
of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). Seller agrees
that in the event of any Breach or threatened Breach by Seller of any covenant,
obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be
entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to (i) a
decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance
and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, and (ii) an
injunction restraining such Breach or threatened Breach.

7.12 NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
that may be contained elsewhere in this Agreement, no party (or its Affiliates)
shall, in any event, be liable to any other party (or its Affiliates) for any
consequential damages including,

but not limited to, loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of
business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of
this Agreement.

7.13 WAIVER.

(a) Except as expressly set forth herein, no failure on the part
of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power,
right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of
such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any
such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, no Person shall be
deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power,
right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such

instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person: and any such
waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific
instance in which it is given.

supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and
delivered on behalf of Purchaser and Seller.

shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any
extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision
to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be
invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise
affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

remedies to any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective

other that the representing party has not been represented by or dealt with any
broker in connection with the Acquisition. Purchaser and Seller each agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from any Damages arising out of or

against the indemnified party by virtue of any action taken or allegedly taken
by the indemnifying party in connection with the Acquisition.

invokes the right to arbitration hereinabove provided, or as to which legal
action nevertheless occurs, each party hereby irrevocably waives all rights it
may have to a jury trial, and each party agrees that it will not seek to
consolidate any such action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other
action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived. THIS WAIVER IS
KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY PURCHASER AND SELLER AND EACH
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE OTHER PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE
OTHER PARTY HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL
