with certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Rick’s (the “Rick’s Subsidiaries”), pursuant to which the Rick’s
Subsidiaries will acquire substantially all of the assets of certain adult entertainment clubs;

 

WHEREAS,
as part of the purchase price paid pursuant to the Purchase Agreements are shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.01, of
Rick’s (the “Rick’s Shares”);

Family Dog is entitled to receive 300,000 Rick’s Shares upon the closing of the Purchase Agreements (the “Closing
Date”), which is conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS,
Family Dog has agreed to enter into this Agreement to restrict the Transfer (defined below) of the Rick’s Shares, all on the terms
set forth below.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.
Family Dog may not sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant a security interest in, transfer, assign, convey, or in any other manner dispose
of (“Transfer”) the Rick’s Shares (the “Transfer Restriction”) except in compliance with
this Agreement.

Dog may Transfer, and the Transfer Restriction shall expire with respect to, the Rick’s Share in accordance with the following
schedule:

 

	No.
    of Rick’s Shares	 	Date

3. Notwithstanding
Section 2, beginning on the date that is six months after the Closing Date, Family Dog may Transfer all or any portion of the Rick’s
Shares still subject to the Transfer Restriction, provided that the transferee executes a written agreement with Rick’s
to be bound by terms and conditions that are substantially similar to the restrictions herein.

 

4. The
Transfer Restrictions are in addition to all other restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws,
rules, and regulations, including Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Any Transfer permitted
hereunder must comply with the Act and other applicable securities laws.

 

5. Family
Dog shall not engage in any short selling of shares of Rick’s common stock until the Transfer Restrictions in Section 2 have expired
with respect to all of the Rick’s Shares held by Family Dog; provided, however that this Section 5 shall not apply
to any actions taken which are related to a hedge transaction (including associated lending transactions) or margin loan facility in
which Family Dog pledges, hypothecates, or otherwise grants a security interest in or to Rick’s Shares no longer subject to the
Transfer Restriction.

 

6. The
Rick’s Shares covered by this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted should Rick’s undergo a forward split, a reverse
split, pay a dividend in shares of its common stock, or otherwise materially adjust or reclassify its shares of common stock.

 

7. Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other agreements between the parties, Family Dog shall be entitled to its beneficial rights
of ownership of the Rick’s Shares, including the right to vote the Rick’s Shares for any and all purposes. 

 

8. Family
Dog acknowledges that stock transfer restrictions and/or stock legends may be placed on the certificates representing the Rick’s
Shares to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

 

9. In
the event that Rick’s files or permits or causes to be filed a resale registration statement with the Securities & Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) for the resale of shares of its common stock by other shareholders owning Rick’s common
stock, other than on a Form S-4, Form S-8, or Form S-3 shelf registration statement filed for any offering except as described under
I.B.3. of Form S-3, Rick’s shall, and hereby does, grant piggy-back registration rights to Family Dog to register for re-sale the
Rick’s Shares and, upon such registration, the Transfer Restrictions shall expire.

 

10. The
party who fails to fully adhere to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be liable to every other party for any damages suffered
by any party by reason of such breach of the terms and conditions hereof. Family Dog agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement by Family Dog, that in addition to all other remedies that may be available in law or in equity
to Rick’s, a preliminary and permanent injunction and an order of a court requiring Family Dog to cease and desist from violating
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and specifically requiring Family Dog to perform its obligations hereunder is fair and reasonable
by reason of the inability of the parties to this Agreement to presently determine the type, extent, or amount of damages that Rick’s
may suffer as a result of any breach or continuation thereof. In the event of default hereunder, the non-defaulting party shall be entitled
to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in the enforcement of this Agreement.

11. This
Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended
except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

 

12. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas; and all of the parties hereto agree that
any action based upon this Agreement may be brought in the federal or state courts located in Harris County, Texas only, and each submits
itself to the jurisdiction of such courts for all purposes hereunder.

 

13. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that
both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail
delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing
(or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page
were an original thereof.
