Proprietary Assets.



                 1.5      PURCHASE PRICE.

                          (a)     As consideration for the sale of Purchased
Assets, at Closing Purchaser shall (i) pay to the Seller a total of
$3,712,133.68 (the "Purchase Price"), 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 and an Assignment of Leases
(the "Lease Assignment") in substantially the form of Exhibit C.  The Purchase
Price shall be payable by Purchaser as follows:

                          (b)     Purchaser has deposited into an interest
bearing escrow (the "Escrow") established with Nevada Title Company ("Deposit
Holder") the sum of $53,850, 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, 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.

                          (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 Purchaser has not previously terminated
this Agreement, by written notice to Seller and Deposit Holder pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the Deposit Holder shall deliver
the Deposit to Seller, in accordance with such wire transfer instructions as
Seller shall give to Deposit Holder, immediately upon the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period.  Thereafter, if the Closing shall fail to occur solely
because of the breach of Purchaser under this Agreement, then Seller shall be
entitled to





                                       5
<PAGE>   11
retain the Deposit, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty and as Seller's
sole remedy.  However, if Closing shall thereafter fail to occur for any other
reason or reasons, then Seller 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, 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.  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.

                          (a)     Seller's obligations to consummate the

                                  (ii)     All of the representations and
warranties of Purchaser contained herein shall be true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the Closing Date as though remade and

complied with all of its obligations and covenants hereunder in all material
respects.

                          (b)     There is no Proceeding pending or threatened

accordance with the Real Property Purchase Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller expressly
agree that a proper election by either Purchaser or Seller to terminate this
Agreement at any time in accordance with any of the terms hereof shall be
deemed to be a proper election by Purchaser or the Fee Owner, respectively, to
terminate the Real Property Purchase Agreement and that a proper election by
either Purchaser or the Fee Owner to terminate the Real Property Purchase
Agreement at any time in accordance with any of the terms thereof shall be
deemed to be a proper election by Purchaser or Seller, respectively, to
terminate this Agreement.

                          (d)     Deposit Holder shall hold, for recordation by

                 1.8      PURCHASER'S CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

                          (a)     Purchaser's obligations to consummate the
Transactions are conditioned upon the following:

                                  (i)      All Delivery Items shall have been
deposited into the Escrow.

                                  (ii)     All items listed on Schedule
1.8(a)(ii) shall have either been delivered to Purchaser or shall be located at
the Club at Closing.

                                  (iii)    A State of Nevada business license
and a City of Henderson business license (such two licenses, the "Identified
Approval") shall have been obtained by Purchaser in Purchaser's name so as to
enable Purchaser legally to operate the Club from and after Closing; it being
agreed that Purchaser shall work diligently, with Seller's assistance if and to
the extent reasonably required and at no out-of-pocket cost or liability to
Seller, to obtain all Identified Approvals.  The Purchaser's obtaining either a
liquor license for the Club or the consent of any equipment lessor identified
in Part 2.6 of the Disclosure Schedule shall not be a condition precedent to
Purchaser's obligations to consummate the Transactions.

                                  (iv)     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).

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

                                  (vi)     The closing of the purchase and sale
of the Real Property shall have occurred simultaneously with Closing hereunder
in accordance with the Real Property Purchase Agreement.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller
expressly agree that a proper election by either Purchaser or Seller to
terminate this Agreement at any time in accordance with any of the terms hereof
shall be deemed to be a proper election by Purchaser or the Fee Owner,
respectively, to terminate the Real Property Purchase Agreement and that a
proper election by either Purchaser or the Fee Owner to terminate the Real
Property Purchase Agreement at any time in accordance with any of the terms
thereof shall be deemed to be a proper election by Purchaser or Seller,
respectively, to terminate this Agreement.

                                  (vii)    Purchaser's approval, in its sole
discretion, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, of any and
all aspects of the Club and/or its





                                       8
<PAGE>   14

operations, including, without limitation, all financial records of Seller,
including without limitation, operating statements, payrolls records, capital
expenditures budgeted, bid and completed, inventory, warranties and service
agreements; the reciprocal easement agreement (parking agreement) governing
common areas of Town Center together with any amendments thereto; all parking
arrangements applicable to the Club; the Club's zoning; the results of
Purchaser's physical inspections of the Club and all components thereof,
including without limitation all building equipment; a current ALTA survey for
the Club; leases or license agreements with, and estoppels from, any
subtenants, licensees or concessionaires of Seller; a preliminary title report,
based upon a current ALTA survey, together with all underlying documentation;
and the status of Purchaser's continued right, after the Closing, to retain the
existing signage for the Club located within Town Center on Sunset.
Purchaser's failure to give notice to Seller terminating this Agreement on or
before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall conclusively be deemed
to be Purchaser's approval of any and all aspects of the Club and/or its
operations.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the "Due Diligence
Period" shall mean the period from May 2, 1997 to and including the Closing
Date (which actual date of Closing may differ from the deemed date for Closing
set forth in Section 1.9(a)).  Without limiting the foregoing, the Due
Diligence Period under this Agreement shall automatically be extended if and to
the extent that the "Due Diligence Period" under the Real Property Purchase
Agreement is extended.

                                  (viii)   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.

                                  (ix)     The State of Nevada child care
license (#294-97) currently held in Densie Schnitzer's name, as described in
Part 2.10 of the Disclosure Schedule, shall (A)  be in full force and effect at
Closing and (B) shall be in full force and effective immediately following
Closing, assuming that Purchaser shall have offered to rehire Ms. Schnitzer,
and Ms. Schnitzer shall have agreed to be rehired by Purchaser, immediately
following Closing.

                          (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, 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.





                                       9
<PAGE>   15
                          (c)     If (i) Purchaser shall not have been able to
obtain any Identified Approvals, (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 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 be deemed to occur, if at all,
at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 1, 1997, unless the date for Closing shall be
extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (August 1, 1997 or any such
other date, as applicable, the "Outside Closing Date"); it being further agreed
that Closing may actually occur, if at all, at a date and time different from
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 three Business Days after its being served
with said notice, to waive such unsatisfied condition(s) and proceed to effect
Closing immediately.  Four Business 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 all funds deposited by Purchaser, and all interest
earned thereon, shall be returned immediately to Purchaser but subject to
Section 1.5(h).

                          (b)     Consummation of the Transactions (the
"Closing") will take place at the offices of Jolley, Urga, Wirth & Woodbury,
300 South Fourth Street, Eighth Floor, Las Vegas, Nevada 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:





                                       10
<PAGE>   16

                                  (i)      Disburse the Purchase Price to
Seller in accordance with Seller's instructions.

                                  (ii)     Deliver two fully executed original
copies of each of the Contract Assignment, Lease Assignment, Bill of Sale, ARC
Estoppel and the IP License and one fully executed original of the CC&R
Amendment to Seller.

                                  (iii)    Deliver two fully executed original
copies of each of the Contract Assignment, Bill of Sale, CC&R Amendment, ARC
Estoppel and the IP License and one fully executed original of the Lease
Assignment to Purchaser.

                                  (iv)     Record the Lease Assignment and
deliver conformed copies of the duly recorded Lease Assignment to each of
Seller and Purchaser.

                                  (v)      Record the CC&R Amendment and
deliver conformed copies of the duly recorded CC&R Amendment to each of Seller
and Purchaser.

                 1.10     PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION. On or prior to the Closing
Date, Purchaser, and Seller shall agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price
and Seller liabilities (which liabilities shall be treated as an additional
amount paid by Purchaser to Seller) among the Purchased Assets (the "Allocation
Statement"). The allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement will conform
to the requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Section 1060 of the Code.
The parties agree to report (on Form 8594 and otherwise) the allocation of the
Purchase Price and Seller liabilities in a manner consistent with the
Allocation Statement. The allocation prescribed by the Allocation Statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon each party for all purposes. No party
shall file any tax return or other document with, or make any statement or
declaration to, any governmental body if such document, statement or
declaration is inconsistent with the allocation prescribed by the Allocation
Statement

                 1.11     SALES TAXES. The Seller shall bear and pay any sales
taxes, use taxes, transfer taxes, documentary charges, recording fees, or
similar taxes, charges, fees or expenses that are or may become payable in
connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser or in connection
with any of the Transactions

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

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

                 1.14     FURTHER ACTION. After the Closing Date, Seller shall
execute and deliver such bills of sale, endorsements, assignments and other
documents and take any further action as may be reasonably necessary to assign,
convey, transfer and deliver to Purchaser good and valid title to the Purchased
Assets free and clear of any Encumbrances.

                 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 Club 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 the Personal Property Leases, (iv) utility and sewer
charges, (v) payments under the Assumed Contracts, (vi) operating expenses
(including, without limitation, any relating to the summer camp and tennis
tournament operations of Seller), (vii) payments relating to Town Center and
(viii) other items customarily prorated in transactions of this sort.  Seller
shall maintain in place all deposits under the Real Property Leases and all
utilities and other deposits for the benefit of the Purchaser.  Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser at Closing any deposits under any Subleases that are to be
Assumed Contracts.  Purchaser shall not reimburse Seller, including without
limitation by way of a credit to Seller, for any such deposits under any
Subleases that are to be Assumed Contracts so delivered by Seller to Purchaser.
Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all other such deposits, including without
limitation by way of a credit to Seller, with an offsetting debit to Purchaser,
in the calculation of the closing prorations.  Purchaser shall not, however, be
required to pay, or otherwise to bear the cost of, its share of any item to be
prorated under both this Agreement and the Real Property Purchase Agreement
more than once, i.e., Purchaser shall only be required to pay, or otherwise to
bear the cost, of its share of any such item under one of the two agreements
but not under both agreements.

                          (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 management fees or 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.  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,
including, without limitation, monthly dues, dues paid more than one month in
advance, and prepayments relating to the summer camp and tennis tournament
operations of Seller.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, there shall be no proportionate allocation of initiation fees paid
and collected in the Ordinary Course of Business.  Membership dues and
prepayments collected by Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, during the first
30 days following the Closing Date shall be applied (A) first to any prorated
amounts due Seller for the month in which the





                                       12
<PAGE>   18
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.  Membership dues and prepayments 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.  Any membership dues
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 membership dues in reasonable detail satisfactory to
Purchaser. Any membership dues 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 membership dues in reasonable
detail satisfactory to the Seller.

                          (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.  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 75 days of the
Closing.  Any disagreement with respect to such final calculation shall be
resolved pursuant to binding arbitration before a "Big 6" 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





                                       13
<PAGE>   19

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.

SECTION 2.       REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.

                 Seller represents and warrants, to and for the benefit of the
Purchaser Indemnitees, as follows.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, and except for the representations and warranties made in
Sections 2.1, 2.4(a), but only if and to the extent there shall be any Breach
of such representation and warranty giving rise to Damages for which payment
shall not be available pursuant to the policy of title insurance to be issued
to Purchaser under the Real Property Purchase Agreement upon closing
thereunder, and 2.16, all of the representations and warranties made in this

duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Purchaser and its board
of directors.

                 4.3      NON-CONTRAVENTION; CONSENTS. To Purchaser's
Knowledge, neither the execution and delivery of any of the Transactional
Agreements, nor the consummation or performance of any of the Transactions,
will directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time):

                          (a)     contravene, conflict with or result in a
violation of (i) any of the provisions of Purchaser's certificate or articles

relief under, any Legal Requirement or any Order to which the Purchaser, or any
of the assets owned or used by the Purchaser, is subject;

                          (c)     contravene, conflict with or result in a

SECTION 5.       INDEMNIFICATION, ETC.

                 5.1      SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                          (a)     The representations and warranties made by
the parties hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall expire
on the first anniversary of the Closing Date: provided, that if, at any time
prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date any Indemnitee (acting in
good faith) delivers a written notice alleging the existence of a Breach of any
of such representations and warranties and asserting a claim for recovery under
Section 5 based on such alleged Breach, then the claim asserted in such notice
shall survive the first anniversary of the Closing until such time as such
claim is fully and finally resolved.

                          (b)     For purposes of this Agreement, each
statement or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule
shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty in this Agreement made by

                 5.2      INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER. Seller shall hold harmless
and indemnify each of the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against, and shall
compensate and reimburse each of the Purchaser Indemnitees for, any Damages
which are suffered or incurred by any of the Purchaser Indemnitees or to which
any of the Purchaser Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time
(regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and
which arise from, or as a result of, or are connected with:

                          (a)     any Breach of any representation or warranty
made by Seller in this Agreement or any of the Transactional Agreements;

                          (b)     any Breach of any covenant or obligation of

any Seller Transaction Costs; or

                          (d)     any Liability to which any of the Purchaser
Indemnitees may become subject and that arises from or relates to (i) any of
the Purchased Assets prior to Closing or (ii) Excluded Assets or (iii) any
Liability of the Seller not specifically assumed by Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement or (iv) the operation of the Club through and including Closing;

                          (e)     any Liability to which any of the Purchaser
Indemnitees may become subject and that arises from or relates to any claim,
demand or other action taken or made by any limited partner of Seller as a
result of or in connection with how any element(s) of the purchase prices under
this Agreement and the Real Property Purchase Agreement have been allocated as
between the two agreements and the assets being sold under each thereof.





                                       25
<PAGE>   31
                          (f)     any Liability to which any of the Purchaser
Indemnitees may become subject and that arises from or relates to any claim,
demand or other action taken or made by William C. Andrade, M.D. dba The
Medical Wellness Center under its sublease or otherwise to the effect that such
Subtenant is owed any monies for or on account of its tenant improvements;

                          (g)     any Proceeding commenced relating to any
Breach, Liability or matter of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c),
(d), (e) or (f) of this Section 5.3.

                 5.3      INDEMNIFICATION BY PURCHASER. Purchaser shall hold
harmless and indemnify each of the Seller Indemnitees from and against, and
shall compensate and reimburse each of the Seller Indemnitees for, any Damages
which are suffered or incurred by any of the Seller Indemnitees or to which any
of the Seller Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless
of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise
from, or as a result of, or are connected with:

                          (a)     any Breach of any representation or warranty
made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any of the Transactional Agreements;

                          (b)     any Breach of any covenant or obligation of
Purchaser in this Agreement or any of the Transactional Agreements;

                          (c)     any Liability that arises from or relates to
any Purchaser Transaction Costs;

                          (d)     any Liability to which any of the Seller
Indemnitees may become subject and that arises from or relates to (i) any of

                 5.4      NONEXCLUSIVITY OF INDEMNIFICATION REMEDIES. The
indemnification remedies and other remedies provided in this Section 5 shall
not be deemed to be exclusive.  Accordingly, the exercise by any Person of any
of its rights under this Section 5 shall not be deemed to be an election of
remedies and shall not be deemed to prejudice, or to constitute or operate as a
waiver of, any other right or remedy that such Person may be entitled to
exercise.  In addition to any rights of setoff or other right or remedy that
any of the Indemnitees may be entitled to exercise (whether under this
Agreement under any other Contract, under any statute, rule or other Legal
Requirement, at common law in equity or otherwise), each Indemnitee shall have
the right to withhold and deduct any sum that may be owed to such Indemnitee
under this Section 5 from any amount otherwise payable by such Indemnitee to
the indemnifying party

                 5.5      LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.

                          (a)     Seller shall not be required to make any
indemnification payment pursuant to Section 5.2 for any Breach of any of its
representations and warranties until such time as the total amount of all
Damages (including the Damages arising from such Breach and all other Damages
arising from any other Breaches of any representations or warranties) that have
been suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Purchaser Indemnitees, or
to which any one or more of the Purchaser Indemnitees has or have otherwise
become subject, exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate, at which time such
Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against only the amount of such
Damages in excess of $50,000.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
purchase of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement is specifically
conditioned upon and directly related to the purchase of the Real Property and
related assets pursuant to the Real Property Purchase Agreement and (ii)
Purchaser is also the recipient of certain representations, warranties and
indemnification from the Fee Owner pursuant to the Real Property Purchase
Agreement.  Accordingly, whether the $50,000 threshold referenced above in this
Section 5.5(a) has been exceeded is to be calculated inclusive of any "Damages"
that are suffered or incurred by any of the "Buyer's Indemnities", as
referenced in Section 13.5(i) of the Real Property Purchase Agreement.

                          (b)     Purchaser shall not be required to make any
indemnification payment pursuant to Section 5.3 for any Breach of any of its
representations and warranties until such time as the total amount of all
Damages (including the Damages arising from such Breach and all other Damages
arising from any other Breaches of any representations or warranties) that have
been suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Seller Indemnitees, or to
which any one or more of the Seller Indemnitees has or have otherwise become
subject, exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate, at which time such Indemnitees shall
be entitled to be indemnified against only the amount of such Damages in excess
of $50,000.  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the purchase of the
Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement is specifically conditioned upon
and directly related to the purchase of the Real Property and related assets
pursuant to the Real Property Purchase Agreement and (ii) Fee Owner is also the
recipient of certain representations, warranties and indemnification from
Purchaser pursuant to the Real Property Purchase Agreement.  Accordingly,
whether the $50,000 threshold referenced above in this Section 5.5(b) has been
exceeded is to be calculated inclusive of any "Damages" that are suffered or
incurred by any of the "Seller's Indemnities", as referenced in Section
13.5(ii) of the Real Property Purchase Agreement.

                          (c)     The obligations of the parties hereto to
indemnify and hold harmless a Person, pursuant to Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3(a)
above, shall terminate when the applicable representation and warranty
terminates pursuant to Section 5 .1 (a) above; provided however, such
obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to
any matter about which an Indemnitee shall have, before the expiration of the
applicable time period, delivered written notice alleging the existence of a
Breach of any of such representations and warranties and asserting a claim for
recovery under Section 5.

                 5.6      DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS BY SELLER. In the event
of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding with
respect to which Seller may become obligated to indemnify, hold harmless,
compensate or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 5,
Seller shall defend such claim or Proceeding at its sole expense, in which
case:

                          (a)     Seller shall proceed to defend such claim or
Proceeding in a diligent manner with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Purchaser;

                          (b)     Purchaser shall make available to Seller any
non-privileged documents and materials in the possession of Purchaser that may
be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

                          (c)     Seller shall endeavor to keep Purchaser
informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or
Proceeding;

                          (d)     Purchaser shall have the right to
participate, at its own cost, in the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

                          (e)     Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller, in a
timely manner, in the defense of such claim or Proceeding; and

                          (f)     Seller shall have the right to settle, adjust
or compromise such claim or Proceeding with the prior written consent of
Purchaser; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition such consent.

                 5.7      DEFENSE OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS BY PURCHASER. In the
event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding
with respect to which Purchaser may become obligated to indemnify, hold
harmless, compensate or reimburse any Seller Indemnitee pursuant to this
Section 5, Purchaser shall defend such claim or Proceeding at its sole expense,
in which case:

                          (a)     Purchaser shall proceed to defend such claim
or Proceeding in a diligent manner with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Seller;

                          (b)     Seller shall make available to Purchaser any
non-privileged documents and materials in the possession of Seller that may be
necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

                          (c)     Purchaser shall endeavor to keep Seller
informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or
Proceeding;

                          (d)     Seller shall have the right to participate,
at its own cost, in the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

                          (e)     Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, in a
timely manner, in





                                       28
<PAGE>   34

the defense of such claim or Proceedings; and

                          (f)     Purchaser shall have the right to settle,
adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding with the prior written consent of
Seller; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition such consent.

                 5.8      EXERCISE OF REMEDIES BY INDEMNITEES. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Indemnitee (other than Purchaser or any
successor thereto or assign thereof for the Purchaser Indemnitees or Seller or
any successor thereto or assign thereof for the Seller Indemnitees) shall be
permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy
under this Agreement.

SECTION 6.       ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.

                 6.1      INTERIM CONDUCT OF THE BUSINESS. At all times from
and after the date of this Agreement and through and including the Closing
Date, Seller shall cause the Club to be operated only in the lawful, ordinary
and usual course of business, and Seller shall not take any action inconsistent
therewith or 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 Closing
Date a policy or policies of insurance on the Purchased Assets which 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; and subject to Purchaser's prior reasonable written approval, not
make any material changes in its member billing practices or rates, or enter
into any material third party agreements.  Seller shall maintain all of the
Purchased Assets through Closing in substantially the same level of repair as
the Purchased Assets were in during Purchaser's physical inspection of the
Purchased Assets on May 20, 1997, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  Seller
shall remedy prior to Closing any and all violations of any Legal Requirement
relating to all or any part of the Purchased Assets of which Seller had
Knowledge prior to Closing.

                 6.2      STANDSTILL BY SELLER. From and after the date hereof
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 initiate discussions or engage in negotiations with, or provide any
information to, or authorize any financial advisor or other person to solicit
or initiate discussions or engage in negotiations with, or provide any such
information to, any corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group
(other than Purchaser) concerning any possible proposal regarding a sale of
shares of capital stock of, or a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other
similar transaction involving, Seller or any division or asset of Seller.

                 6.3      ACCESS. From the date hereof through the Closing
Date, Seller shall give Purchaser and its Representatives, or cause them to be
permitted, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, full access
to all properties, books, files, data, contracts, leases, commitments and
records of Seller and the Club, and during this period Seller shall furnish
Purchaser with all financial and operating data and all other information





                                       29
<PAGE>   35

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 and will
communicate with only those employees of Seller as Seller shall reasonably
authorize with the scope and tenor of such communications to be subject to the
reasonable prior approval of Seller; it being agreed, however, that the purpose
of the foregoing restrictions are to minimize disruption to the operations of
the Club, to the minimum extent reasonably possible, and to preserve its value
as a going concern and not to limit the scope or depth of the information to be
made available to Purchaser in its due diligence.  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 3 years from and after the date of termination or the Closing, as the
case may be.

                 6.4      PRESERVATION OF BUSINESS AND RELATIONSHIPS. From the
date hereof 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      INVESTMENT OBLIGATION. Purchaser shall invest not
less than $1.4 million in the Club during the first 3 years following the
Closing, which investment shall include, without limitation, any expenditures
on furnishings, fixtures or equipment.  Such expenditures may, but need not, be
similar in nature and magnitude to those described in the list of possible
improvements set forth in the attached Schedule 6.6.

                 6.7      BULK SALE. At or prior to Closing, Seller, at its
expense, shall have fully complied with all bulk sales laws (if any) applicable
to the Transactions.

                 6.8      LIQUOR LICENSE. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser
(without cost or liability to Seller) in Purchaser's obtaining a transfer of
the existing liquor license for the





                                       30
<PAGE>   36
Club or, if such transfer shall not be possible, obtaining a new liquor
license; it being further agreed, however, that Seller shall not permit
Purchaser to operate under Seller's liquor license, even if such operation
would be permitted by law, after Closing while Purchaser obtains its own liquor
license if Purchaser has not yet obtained its own liquor license at Closing.
Purchaser's failure to have obtained its own liquor license at Closing shall
not be grounds for delaying Closing.

                 6.9      COMPLIMENTARY MEMBERSHIPS.

                          (a)     [Intentionally omitted]

                          (b)     Up to 71 nontransferable memberships at the
Club held by current or former limited partners of Seller and identified in
Part 2.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule shall continue to be honored by
Purchaser through, but not later than, August 31, 2005.  Such memberships shall
be at the highest level of membership available to members of the Club
immediately before Closing, shall require the payment of no monthly dues or
initiation fees but shall otherwise be subject to Purchaser's rules and
regulations for Club membership and the general operations of the Club applied
on a non-discriminatory basis.

                          (c)     Up to 100 nontransferable memberships for

(i) the date on which such employee shall cease to be an employee of a Seller
Company, (ii) the date on which such individual ceases to maintain his or her
primary residence in the greater Las Vegas area or (iii) the date occurring 2
years after the Closing Date.  If a particular such membership terminates
pursuant to either of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), then such membership
shall become available for another employee of the Seller Companies on the same
terms as set forth in this Section 6.9(c).  Each such membership shall be at
the level of benefits elected by such employee, from time to time and subject
to the then availability of the benefits so elected, shall require the payment
of no initiation fees, shall require the payment of 50% of the otherwise
applicable monthly dues and shall otherwise be subject to Purchaser's rules and
regulations for Club memberships and the general operations of the Club applied
on a non-discriminatory basis.  The employees currently holding such
memberships are set forth in Part 2.5(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.  The
"Seller Companies" are Greenspun, Inc.; ANC, Inc,; Las Vegas Sun; Prime Cable;
Nextlink; Primetel; Hospitality Network; Barleys Casino; Seven Hills; and HBC

as to interfere with or disrupt the conduct of Purchaser's or the Club's
business or operations.

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

in a written 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

Section 5 hereof, none of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to
provide any rights or remedies to any Person other than the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns (if any).

                 7.17     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Transactional Agreements set
forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter

drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of
this Agreement.

                                       37

limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without

Agreement, all of which Exhibits and Schedules are hereby incorporated herein

under or in connection with this Agreement or any related agreement, as to
which no party 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
