Right
of
Shareholder to “Put” Shares.
(a)
On
or after one (1) year from the date of Closing, the Shareholder shall
have
the right, but not the obligation, to have Rick’s purchase from the
Shareholder 5,000 of the Rick’s Shares per month (the “Monthly Shares”)
calculated at a price per share equal to $23.00 per share (“Value of the
Rick’s Shares”) until the Shareholder has received an aggregate of
$4,485,000 from (i) the sale of the Rick’s Shares, regardless of whether
sold to Rick’s, sold in the open market or in a private transaction or
otherwise and (ii) the payment of any Deficiency (as hereinafter
defined)
by Rick’s. Shareholder shall notify Rick’s during any given
month of its election to “Put” the Monthly Shares to Rick’s during that
particular month and Rick’s shall have three (3) business days to elect to
buy the Monthly Shares or instruct the Shareholder to sell the Monthly
Shares in the open market. At Rick’s election, during any
given month, it may either buy the Monthly Shares or, if Rick’s elects not
to buy the Monthly Shares from Shareholder, then Shareholder shall
sell
the Monthly Shares in the open market and any deficiency between
the
amount which Shareholder receives from the sale of the Monthly Shares
and
the Value of the Rick’s Shares (the “Deficiency”) shall be paid by Rick’s
within three (3) business days after receipt of written notice from
the
Shareholder of the sale of the Monthly Shares which shall provide
the
written sales confirmation and the amount of the
Deficiency. Rick’s obligation under this Section 1.4(a) to
purchase the Monthly Shares from Shareholder shall terminate and
cease at
such time as Shareholder has received an aggregate amount of $4,485,000
from (i) the sale of the Rick’s Shares, regardless of whether sold to
Rick’s, sold in the open market or in a private transaction or otherwise,
and (ii) the payments of any Deficiency by Rick’s. Shareholder
agrees to provide monthly statements to Rick’s as to the total number of
Rick’s Shares which Shareholder sold and the amount of proceeds derived
therefrom. Except as set forth in Section 1.4(b) below, nothing
contained in this Section 1.4(a) shall limit or preclude Shareholder
from
selling the Rick’s Shares in the open market or require Shareholder to
“Put” the Rick’s Shares to Rick’s during any given month.

(b)
Shareholder
and Rick’s will enter into a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement which will provide
that the Shareholder will not sell more than 25,000 Rick’s Shares per
30-day period and will not sell more than 75,000 Rick’s Shares per 90-day
period, regardless of whether the Shareholder “Puts” the Rick’s Shares to
Rick’s or sells them in the open market or otherwise. In the
event that the Shareholder elects to sell the Rick’s Shares pursuant to
this Section 1.4(b), then any amount sold at prices less than the
Value of
the Rick’s Shares shall be deemed to be sold at $23.00 for purposes of
Section 1.4(a). The form of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement
shall be as attached hereto as Exhibit 1.4(b) and made a part hereof.
