                                     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.

     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.

              -------------------------------------
having  an  indemnification,  defense  and  hold  harmless  obligation, as above
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.

                                ESCROW AGREEMENT

     This  Escrow  Agreement  (hereinafter  the  "Escrow Agreement") is made and
entered  into  this  6th  day  of  July,  2000  by  and  among  RICK'S  CABARET
INTERNATIONAL,  INC.,  a  Texas corporation ("Rick's"), and VOICE MEDIA, INC., a
Nevada  corporation  (the  "Shareholder"),  Rick's  and  the  Shareholder  being
collectively  referred  to  as  the  "Parties"  or individually referred to as a
"Party",  and  ROBERT  D.  AXELROD,  P.C., as the Escrow Agent ("Escrow Agent").

     WHEREAS,  RCI  Internet  Holdings,  Inc.,  Rick's  and the Shareholder have
entered  into  an  Asset  Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") of even date
herewith,  pursuant  to  which  the  Shareholder has agreed to deposit in escrow
250,000  shares of the $.01 par value common stock of Rick's (the "Escrow Stock"
or  the  "Escrow  Shares");  and

     WHEREAS, the Shareholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is conveying to
RCI  Internet  Holdings,  Inc.,  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary of Rick's, certain
tangible  and  intangible assets associated with and used in connection with the
operation  of  an  Internet  website  known as XXXPassword.com ("Password"); and

     WHEREAS,  in  connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement it is
necessary  to  establish  an  escrow  for  the  Escrow  Stock;  and

     WHEREAS,  the  Parties  desire  that  Robert  D. Axelrod, P.C. serve as the
Escrow  Agent  in  connection  with  this  Escrow  Agreement.

     THE  DEFINED TERMS HEREIN HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS THE DEFINED TERMS IN THE
Purchase  Agreement  of  even  date  herewith  by  and  among  the Parties  (THE
"PURCHASE  AGREEMENT").

     NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual
covenants and obligations herein contained, the Parties agree hereto as follows:

     1.     Escrow  of  Escrow  Stock.  At  the  time  of  executing this Escrow
            -------------------------
Agreement,  the  Shareholder  shall  deliver  to the Escrow Agent the following:

          a.  Certificates  representing  the Escrow  Stock  (250,000  shares of
     common stock  of  Rick's);

          b.  Stock  powers  for  the  Escrow  Shares,  fully  executed  by  the
     Shareholder  covering  the  certificates  delivered  in  escrow.  The stock
     powers,  along with the Escrow Stock,  shall  hereinafter  be  collectively
     referred to as the "Escrowed Documents."

          c. The  Shareholder,  by the delivery of the 250,000  Escrow Shares to
     the Escrow Agent,  does hereby  acknowledge  and represent  that the Escrow
     Shares are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Shareholder,  free and
     clear of any liens, claims,  equities,  charges,  options,  rights of first
     refusal or encumbrances and,  further,  acknowledges and represents that it
     has the unrestricted  right and power to transfer,  convey and deliver full
     ownership of the Escrow Shares without the consent, agreement or joinder of
     any other person and without any  designation,  declaration  or filing with
     any governmental authority.

<PAGE>
     2.     Conditions  for  Release  from  Escrow.  The  Escrow Agent is hereby
            --------------------------------------
instructed  to  receive and hold the Escrowed Documents in escrow.  The Escrowed
Documents  shall  not  be  released  or  dealt  with  in  any  manner whatsoever
inconsistent  with this Escrow Agreement, unless  the Escrow Agent shall receive
other  written  instructions  executed  by  Rick's  and the Shareholder.  Absent
contrary  written  instructions,  the  Escrow  Agent  shall:

     (a)  Subject to Paragraph  2(f),  below,  release the Escrow  Shares to the
          Shareholder  upon receipt by the Escrow  Agent of a written  statement
          from the  auditors of Rick's that the  earnings  before  depreciation,
          amortization,  interest and taxes ("EBITDA") of XXXPassword.com during
          the first  full 12 months  following  the  Closing  Date (the  "Escrow
          Period") equaled or exceeded $400,000 (the "Minimum Threshold").  Such
          written statement from the auditors of Rick's shall be provided to the
          Escrow Agent not later than five (5) days following  submission to the
          Securities  and Exchange  Commission of Rick's  appropriate  reporting
          forms. In the event that the Escrow Agent receives a written statement
          from the auditors of Rick's that the EBITDA  during the Escrow  Period
          does not meet the  Minimum  Threshold,  then the  Escrow  Agent  shall
          release a number of shares of the Escrow Stock to the  Shareholder  at
          the  end of  the  Escrow  Period  equal  to  250,000  multiplied  by a
          fraction,  not to exceed  one,  the  numerator  of which is the actual
          EBITDA for the Escrow  Period,  as reflected in the written  statement
          from the auditors of Rick's, and the denominator of which is $400,000.

     (b)  Subject to Paragraph  2(f),  below,  release the Escrow  Shares to the
          Shareholder  upon receipt by the Escrow  Agent of a written  statement
          from the auditors of Rick's that the EBITDA of XXXPassword.com, at any
          time  during  the first full 12 months  following  the  Closing  Date,
          equals or exceeds $400,000.

     (c)  Following  release to the  Shareholder  pursuant to Paragraphs 2(a) or
          2(b) as  appropriate,  any Escrow  Stock  remaining in Escrow shall be
          returned by the Escrow Agent to Rick's for cancellation.

     (d)  In the event that the  shareholders of Rick's are requested to vote on
          any matter while any shares of Common  Stock are held in Escrow,  such
          shares of Common  Stock  shall be voted by Eric  Langan or pursuant to
          the written instructions of Eric Langan.

     (e)  The term "Earnings  before  depreciation,  amortization,  interest and
          taxes"  for  purposes  of this  Escrow  Agreement  shall have the same
          definition contained in the Purchase Agreement.

                         ESCROW AGREEMENT - PAGE 2

     (f)  Upon  receipt by the Escrow  Agent of any written  statement  from the
          auditors of Rick's  pursuant to either  Paragraph  2(a) or 2(b) above,
          the Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such fact, together with
          a copy of the written  statement,  to each of the Parties within three
          (3)  business  days.  If no  objection is received by the Escrow Agent
          from either of the Parties  within five (5)  business  days  following
          such notification, the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Shares in
          accordance  with  Paragraph  2(a) or 2(b),  as the case may be.  If an
          objection is received  within five (5) business days, the Escrow Agent
          shall so notify  each of the  Parties of such fact.  In such event the
          Escrow  Agent  may,  but  shall not be  required,  to  interplead  the
          Escrowed Documents with any court of competent  jurisdiction in Harris
          County,  Texas.  Attorney's  fees and costs of court shall be borne by
          the party losing any action brought to recover the Escrowed Documents.

     3.     Escrow Period and Delivery.  The escrow period shall commence on the
            --------------------------
date  of the execution of this Escrow Agreement, which shall be the same date as
the  date of the Closing of the Purchase Agreement, and shall continue until the
final disposition of the Escrowed Documents in accordance with the terms of this
Escrow  Agreement  (the "Termination").  Once the Escrow Agent has delivered the
Escrowed  Documents  in  accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement, its
duties pursuant to this Escrow Agreement shall be completed and it shall have no
further  responsibility  whatsoever  hereunder.

     4.     The  Shareholder  hereby  agrees that so long as the Escrow Stock is
held in escrow pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, it will not take any action to
cancel, sell, pledge, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer the Escrow Stock,
except  as  otherwise  provided  by this Escrow Agreement.  If Rick's declares a
cash  dividend or stock dividend or if Rick's splits or subdivides its shares of
common stock or issues any shares of its common stock in a reclassification then
any  cash  dividend or stock dividend to which the Shareholder would be entitled
shall  be  issued  directly  to the Escrow Agent to hold in escrow in accordance
with  the  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Escrow  Agreement.

     5.     The  Escrow  Agent  is  hereby  authorized  to  exchange  the  share
certificates  delivered  to  it  for  any  number  and any denomination of share
certificates  that  the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, requires to enable
it  to  release  the Escrow Stock as required pursuant to this Escrow Agreement.

     6.     The  Escrow  Agent  shall  have  no duties or obligations other than
those  specifically  set forth herein or required by law.  The acceptance by the
Escrow  Agent  of its duties under this Escrow Agreement is subject to the terms
and  conditions  hereof,  which  shall  govern  and  control with respect to its
rights,  duties,  liabilities  and  immunities.

                         ESCROW AGREEMENT - PAGE 3
<PAGE>
     7.     Rick's and the Shareholder understand and agree that Escrow Agent is
not  a  principal,  participant,  or  beneficiary of the underlying transactions
which  necessitate  this  Escrow Agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall be obligated
only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and
may  rely  and  shall  be  protected  in acting or refraining from acting on any
instrument  reasonably  believed  by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented  by  the  proper  Party or Parties, their officers, representatives or
agents.  So long as the Escrow Agent has acted in good faith or on the advice of
counsel  or  has  not  been guilty of willful misconduct, the Escrow Agent shall
have  no  liability under, or duty to inquire beyond the terms and provisions of
this  Escrow  Agreement, and it is agreed that its duties are purely ministerial
in  nature.  Escrow  Agent  shall  in  no  event  be liable for any exemplary or
consequential  damages,  the  Parties  understanding  that  this  limitation  is
provided  for in view of the fact that Escrow Agent will receive no compensation
(other  than  reimbursement  for  expenses),  for  its  services  hereunder.

     8.     The  Escrow  Agent  shall not be obligated to take any legal actions
hereunder  against  any  third party who is not a party to this Escrow Agreement
which  might,  in the Escrow Agent's judgment, involve any expense or liability,
unless  the  Escrow  Agent  shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity.

     9.     The  Escrow  Agent  is not bound in any way by any other contract or
agreement  between  or  among the Parties hereto whether or not the Escrow Agent
has  knowledge  thereof  of its terms and conditions and the Escrow Agent's only
duty,  liability  and responsibility shall be to hold and deal with the Escrowed
Documents  as  herein  directed.

     10.     The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, amendment,
termination,  cancellation,  rescission or supersession of this Escrow Agreement
unless  the  same  shall  be  in  writing and signed by all of the other Parties
hereto and, if its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder are affected thereby, unless
it  shall  have  given  prior  written  consent  thereto.

     11.     The  Parties  hereto  each jointly and severally agree to indemnify
the  Escrow Agent against and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from anything which
the Escrow Agent may do or refrain from doing in connection with its performance
or  non-performance  as Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement and any and all
losses, costs, damages, expenses, claims and reasonable attorneys' fees suffered
or  incurred  by  the Escrow Agent as a result of, in connection with or arising
from  or  out  of the acts of omissions of the Escrow Agent in performance of or
pursuant  to  this Escrow Agreement, except such acts or omissions as may result
from  the  Escrow  Agent's  willful  misconduct.

                         ESCROW AGREEMENT - PAGE 4
<PAGE>
     12.     In the event of any disagreement between Rick's and the Shareholder
or  any  or either of them concerning this Escrow Agreement or between them,  or
demands being made in connection with the Escrow Stock, or in the event that the
Escrow  Agent  is  in  doubt  as  to  what  action  the Escrow Agent should take
hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims
or  demands on it, or refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such
disagreement  continues  or such doubt exists, and in any such event, the Escrow
Agent  shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its failure
or  refusal  to  act,  and  the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue so to
refrain  from  acting  until:

          a. the rights of Rick's and the Shareholder  shall have been fully and
     finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

          b. all differences  shall have been adjusted and all doubt resolved by
     agreement  between Rick's and the  Shareholder,  and the Escrow Agent shall
     have been notified thereof in writing signed by all Parties.

     13.     Should  Escrow  Agent  become  involved in litigation in any manner
whatsoever  on account of this Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Stock, the Parties
hereto  (other  than  Escrow  Agent), hereby bind and obligate themselves, their
heirs,  personal  representatives,  successors,  assigns to pay Escrow Agent, in
addition  to  any  charge  made hereunder for acting as Escrow Agent, reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Escrow Agent, and any other disbursements, expenses,
losses,  costs  and  damages  in connection with or resulting from such actions,
unless  such  litigation  is the direct result of the Escrow Agent's own willful
misconduct.

     14.     The  terms of these instructions are irrevocable by the undersigned
unless  such  revocation  is  consented  to in writing by each of Rick's and the
Shareholder.

     15.     The  terms  herein  shall  be binding upon the Escrow Agent and its
successors,  and  upon  Rick's  and  the  Shareholder.

     16.     The  Escrow  Agent  may  resign  as  escrow agent in respect of the
Escrow  Stock  by  giving  written  notice  to  Rick's and the Shareholder.  The
resignation  of  the Escrow Agent shall be effective, and the Escrow Agent shall
cease  to be bound by this Escrow Agreement, thirty (30) days following the date
such  notice  of  resignation  is  given.

     Rick's  and  the  Shareholder  shall,  before  the  effective  date  of the
resignation  of  the  Escrow  Agent,  appoint another escrow holder who shall be
acceptable  to  them  and that appointment, when made, shall be binding on them.
Upon  appointment  by  the new escrow holder, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the
Escrowed Documents to the new escrow holder whereupon the Escrow Agent shall not
be  liable  for  the  completion  of  any  further  acts pursuant to this Escrow
Agreement.  In  the  event  that Rick's and the Shareholder do not appoint a new
escrow  holder prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period, the Escrow
Agent shall be entitled to make application to a court of competent jurisdiction
in  the  State  of  Texas  to  be  relieved of the obligations upon it and/or to
interplead  the  Escrowed  Documents  into  such  court  and for directions with
respect  to  the  delivery of the Escrowed Documents.  The Escrow Agent shall be
entitled  to  act  in  accordance  with  the  direction of the court without any
further  liability  to  any  other  Party  whatsoever.

                         ESCROW AGREEMENT - PAGE 5

     17.     The  Escrow  Agent  will  not  receive  any  compensation  for  the
performance  of its services in connection with this Escrow Agreement except for

Agent  in  connection  with  the  performance  of  its  services  hereunder.
