("Parent"), ACS ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent ("Purchaser") and each of the parties
listed on the signature pages hereto (each a "Stockholder", and collectively,
the "Stockholders").
WHEREAS, each of the Stockholders is, as of the date hereof, the record
and beneficial owner of the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of BRC HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), set forth opposite its name on Annex I hereto;
WHEREAS, Parent, Purchaser and the Company concurrently herewith are
entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof
(the "Merger Agreement"), which provides, among other things, for the
acquisition of the Company by Parent by means of a cash tender offer (the
"Offer") by Purchaser for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and
for the subsequent merger (the "Merger") of Purchaser with and into the
Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Purchaser to
enter into the Merger Agreement, and in order to induce Parent and Purchaser
to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders have agreed to enter
into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the execution and delivery by Parent
and Purchaser of the Merger Agreement and the mutual representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and therein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDER. Each of
the Stockholders hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser,
severally and not jointly, as follows:
(a) Such Stockholder is the beneficial owner of the shares of
Common Stock (as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 6
hereof, the "Shares") set forth opposite its name on Annex I to this
Agreement. Such Shares are held of record, in each case, by the custodian of
such Stockholder. On the date hereof, the Shares opposite such Stockholder's
name constitute all of the Shares owned by such Stockholder. Such
Stockholder has the exclusive right to vote or dispose of (or exercise the
voting or disposition of) such Shares.
(b) Such Stockholder has all requisite power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(c) This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed
and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder
in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law).
(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such
Stockholder do not, and the performance by such Stockholder of its
obligations hereunder will not, require any filing by such Stockholder with,
or any permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental or

13D and Form 4 and/or Form 5. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting
trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which such Stockholder is
a trustee whose consent is required for the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
(e) The Shares and the certificates representing the Shares
owned by such Stockholder are now and at all times during the term hereof
will be held by such Stockholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the
benefit of such Stockholder, free and clear of all Liens, proxies, voting
trusts or agreements or understandings or arrangements whatsoever, except for

preemptive rights.

(b) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by each of Parent and Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each of Parent and Purchaser, enforceable against
each of them in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable
principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and
Purchaser do not, and the performance by Parent and Purchaser of their
obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby will not, (i) conflict with, result in a violation or breach of,
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under,

any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) the certificates or
2
articles of incorporation or bylaws of Parent or Purchaser or (B) (x) any Law
or Order of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority applicable to Parent or
Purchaser or any of their respective assets or properties, or (y) any

Purchaser or any of their respective assets or properties is bound, excluding
from the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) conflicts, violations, breaches,

permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental or Regulatory
Authority.

tendered unless the Offer is terminated or has expired; provided that if such
Stockholder shall thereafter acquire shares of Common Stock, then any such
Shares shall be tendered on the next succeeding business day after such
acquisition. Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase all the Shares so tendered
at a price per Share equal to $19.00 per Share or any higher price that may

implement an Acquisition Proposal or accept an Acquisition Proposal. The
obligations of each of the Stockholders pursuant to this Section are several
and not joint.
SECTION 8. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each of the Stockholders shall, upon
request of Parent or Purchaser, take such further actions as may reasonably
