                                     ARTICLE  III
                           PURCHASE  PRICE  AND  PAYMENT

     3.1     Purchase  Price.  As  consideration  for  the Purchased Assets, RCI
             ---------------
shall  pay  to  Seller  as  follows:

     (i)  700,000  restricted  shares  of  Rick's  Cabaret  International,  Inc.
          ("Rick's")  common stock,  par value  $.01("Rick's  Stock"),  of which
          250,000 shares are subject to that certain Escrow  Agreement set forth
          in  Section  4.2(ii)  below;  and

     (ii) An Earn Out  Amount  of  $380,000  plus  either  (1)  $475,000  if the
          earnings  before  depreciation,   amortization,   interest  and  taxes
          ("EBITDA")  of  Password  during  the first full  twelve-month  period
          beginning  on the  Closing  Date  exceeds  $800,000  but is less  than
          $1,200,000  (but not  otherwise)  or (2)  $925,000  if the  EBITDA  of
          Password during the first full  twelve-month  period  beginning on the
          Closing  Date  exceeds  $1,200,000.


                    ASSET  PURCHASE  AGREEMENT  -  PAGE  3
<PAGE>
     The  Earn  Out Amount shall be paid in monthly amounts equal only to 50% of
the  Free Net Cash Flow (as defined below) of all Internet commerce generated by
Password during the 6 year period from the Closing Date.  If 50% of the Free Net
Cash  Flow  of  all  Internet  commerce  generated by Password during the 6 year
period  from  the Closing Date is less than the Earn Out Amount, then the excess
of  the  Earn Out Amount shall not be paid.  For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "Free Net Cash Flow" shall be defined as cash proceeds less variable costs,
overhead  costs  and  payment  of  income taxes due.  Cash Proceeds shall be the
aggregate  amount  of  all  cash  received from, without limitation, cash sales,
credit  or  charge  card  sales, sales on open account or any combination of the
same  and  other such sources less refunds and customer credits.  Variable Costs
shall  be  the  aggregate  amount of all charges or reduction of proceeds by the
credit  card  processor/merchant  bank  and  the  cost  paid  to webmasters as a
commission  for  traffic  sent  to  the  website.  Without  limitation,  such
processor/merchant  bank costs shall include discounts, fees, chargebacks, fines
and  all other such costs.  In the event that the third party processor/merchant
bank shall require a reserve fund, for the purposes of this Agreement, said fund
shall  be considered a Variable Cost.  To the extent reserve funds are recovered
from  the  credit  card  processor/merchant bank and available for distribution,
then  such  amount  shall  be  deemed  Cash Proceeds available for distribution.
Overhead  Costs  shall  be  the  aggregate amount of all charges for third party
content licensing fees, bandwidth charges and the Management Fee as set forth in
Section  7  of the Management Agreement executed simultaneously herewith between
RCI  and  National Telemedia Corp., an affiliate of Seller, in the form attached
hereto  as  Exhibit  "C".  The parties hereto acknowledge that to the extent the
specific  identification of third party content costs is impractical, they agree
to  the allocation of the actual costs based on the percentage of Password sales
to the combined sales of all websites of Seller benefiting from such third party
content.

     With  respect  to  the  payment  of  income taxes due, the parties agree to
retain  a  reserve in an amount of the Cash Proceeds equal to 35%.  In the event
the  federal tax liability for the corresponding fiscal year is determined to be
less  than  the  amount held in reserve, then such amount shall become available
for  distribution  to  the  Seller  and  RCI.

     Further,  Seller  agrees that to the extent there are any shortfalls to the
Free  Net  Cash  Flow in any given month that the Seller will pay such shortfall
amount,  in  an  amount  not  to  exceed $50,000, and be reimbursed prior to any
further  distribution  from  the  Free  Net  Cash  Flow.

(regardless  of  whether  the claimant is ultimately successful), which if true,
would  be  such  a  misrepresentation  or  breach; (b) any nonfulfillment of any
agreement on the part of RCI under this Agreement, or from any misrepresentation
in  or omission from, any certificate or other agreement or instrument furnished
or  to  be  furnished to Seller hereunder; and (c) any suit, action, proceeding,

misrepresentation  in  or  omission  from, any certificate or other agreement or
instrument  furnished  or  to  be  furnished  to  Seller  hereunder.

     10.4     Defense  of Claims.  If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed
              ------------------
against any party entitled to the benefit of indemnity hereunder, written notice
thereof shall be given to the indemnifying party as promptly as practicable (and
in  any event not less than fifteen (15) days prior to any hearing date or other
date  by  which  action  must  be  taken);  provided  that  the  failure  of any
indemnified  party  to  give  timely  notice  shall  not  affect  rights  to
indemnification  hereunder  except  to  the  extent  that the indemnifying party
demonstrates  actual  damage  caused by such failure.  After such notice, if the
indemnifying  party  shall acknowledge in writing to such indemnified party that
this  Agreement  applies  with  respect  to  such  lawsuit  or  action, then the
indemnifying  party  shall  be entitled, if it so elects, to take control of the
defense  and  investigation  of  such lawsuit or action and to employ and engage
attorneys  of  its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying
party's  cost,  risk  and expense; and such indemnified party shall cooperate in
all  reasonable  respects,  at its cost, risk and expense, with the indemnifying
party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit
or  action  and  any  appeal  arising  therefrom;  provided,  however,  that the
indemnified party may, at its own cost, participate in such investigation, trial
and  defense  of  such  lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom.  The
indemnifying  party  shall  not,  without  the  prior  written  consent  of  the
indemnified  party,  effect any settlement of any proceeding in respect of which
any  indemnified party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder unless
such  settlement  of  a  claim,  investigation,  suit,  or other proceeding only
involves  a  remedy  for  the  payment  of  money  by the indemnifying party and
includes  an  unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on  claims  that  are  the  subject  matter  of  such  proceeding.

              -------------------------------------

provided,  shall  fail  to assume such obligation, then the party or entities or
both,  as  the  case  may  be,  to  whom  such indemnification, defense and hold
harmless  obligation  is  due  shall  have the right, but not the obligation, to
assume and maintain such defense (including reasonable counsel fees and costs of
any  suit  related  thereto)  and  to make any settlement or pay any judgment or

individual's or entities' absolute sole discretion and to charge the cost of any
such  settlement,  payment,  expense  and costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees,  to  the  entity  or  individual  that  had the obligation to provide such
indemnification,  defense and hold harmless obligation and same shall constitute
an additional obligation of the entity or of the individual or both, as the case
may  be.
