Business in the same manner as such Business has been conducted by Woodland prior to the Purchase Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, Smith is the
sole owner of Woodland and has intimate knowledge of the business practices of the Business, which, if exploited by Smith in contravention of this Agreement, would seriously, adversely and irreparably affect the interests of VCG-IS and the Business

 d. “Directly or Indirectly” shall mean (i) acting as an agent, representative, officer, director, or independent contractor
of a Competing Business; (ii) participating in any such Competing Business as an owner, partner, limited partner, joint venturer, creditor or shareholder (except as a shareholder holding less than five percent (5%) interest in a
corporation whose shares are actively traded on a regional or national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market); and (iii) communicating to any such Competing Business the names or addresses or any other information concerning any
past, present, or identified prospective client or customer of the Business or an entity having title to the goodwill of the Business. 
 e. “Restricted Period” shall mean the period commencing with the Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary thereof. 
 f. “Confidential Information” shall include any and all information related to the purpose and business of the Business which is
proprietary and not general public knowledge, specifically including (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) any financial statements, appraisals, analysis data, cost analyses or strategies, clients, customer lists, suppliers, the
sales price paid by VCG-IS, or any other matters regarding the Business. Information that is orally disclosed will be considered “Confidential Information” if VCG-IS indicates to Smith at the time of disclosure the confidential or
proprietary nature of the information and provides a written summary of such information to Smith within ten (10) days after the initial oral disclosure thereof. Any technical or business information of a third-person furnished or disclosed
shall be deemed “Confidential Information” of the Business unless otherwise specifically indicated in writing to the contrary. 
 2. Agreement Not to Compete. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by VCG-IS, Smith agrees that during the Restricted Period, he will not, within the Area, either Directly or Indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service or on
behalf of others, engage in any Competing Business or provide managerial, supervisory, administrative, financial or consulting services or assistance to, or own a beneficial interest (except as a shareholder holding less than five percent
(5%) interest in a corporation whose shares are actively traded on a regional or national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market) in any Competing Business. 
 3. Agreement Not to Solicit Employees. Smith agrees that during the period commencing with the Closing Date and ending on the three
(3rd) anniversary thereof, he will not without the prior written consent of VCG-IS, either Directly or Indirectly, on his own behalf or via sendee or on behalf of others, solicit, divert, or hire away, or attempt to solicit, divert, or hire
away from the employment of the Business any Person employed by the Business, whether or not such employee is a full-time employee or temporary employee, whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written agreement, whether 

  

					
		 	2	 	PAGE INITIALED: MO, GS

 
or not such employment is for a determined period or is at will and whether or not such employee has voluntarily terminated their employment. Further, Smith
agrees that he will not, without the prior written consent of VCG-IS, either Directly or Indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, divert, or hire away, or attempt to solicit, divert, or hire away any
entertainers who have performed at the Business during the proceeding six (6) months prior to the Closing Date until one (1) year following the Closing Date. The parties agree that this provision shall not prohibit the continued use of
entertainers who currently work with other clubs that are currently owned by Smith. 
 4. Confidentiality. Smith agrees to hold all
Confidential Information of the Business in confidence for so long as VCG-IS treats such information as confidential or proprietary, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the VCG-IS. During such period Smith will use such information solely for
the purpose set forth in this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by VCG-IS. Smith agrees not to copy such Confidential Information of the Business unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the VCG-IS. Smith agrees that he shall not make
disclosure of any such Confidential Information to anyone (including subcontractors) except accounting, business, financial and legal advisors of the VCG-IS to whom disclosure is necessary for the purposes set forth above. Smith shall appropriately
notify such advisors that the disclosure is made in confidence and shall be kept in confidence in accordance with this Agreement. The obligations set forth in this Agreement shall be satisfied by Smith through the exercise of the same degree of care
used to restrict disclosure and use of its own Confidential Information. 
 5. Remedies. 
 a. Smith acknowledges and agrees that, by virtue of his relationship with the Business, great loss and irreparable damage would be
suffered by VCG-IS, including, without limitation, damage to the goodwill and proprietary interests of VCG-IS, if Smith should breach or violate any of the terms or provisions of the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 2, 3 and/or 4
hereof. Smith further acknowledges that Smith has examined in detail such restrictive covenants and agreements and agrees that the restraints imposed thereby on Smith are reasonable in the sense that they are no greater than are necessary to protect
the goodwill of the Business invested in by VCG-IS pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and to protect VCG-IS in its legitimate business interests, and the restrictive covenants and agreements are reasonable in the sense that they are not unduly harsh
or oppressive. 
 b. The parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of Sections 2, 3 and/or 4 of this Agreement by Smith
would result in irreparable injury to VCG-IS, and therefore Smith agrees and consents that VCG-IS shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of any of the covenants or
agreements of Smith contained herein. 
 c. In addition, VCG-IS shall be entitled, upon any breach of Sections 2, 3 and/or 4
of this Agreement by Smith, to demand an accounting and repayment of all profits and other monetary compensation realized by Smith, directly or through any Competing Business controlled by Smith, as a result of any such breach. 
 d. The rights of VCG-IS under this Section 5 shall not be in limitation or in lieu of any and all other remedies that may be
available to VCG-IS under the 

  

					
		 	3	 	PAGE INITIALED: MO, GS

 
Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument provided for therein, or other remedies otherwise available at law or in equity. The
existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action against Smith whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by VCG-IS of any then valid covenants or agreements herein. 
 6. Severability. Smith agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement are of the essence of this
Agreement; that each such covenant was agreed to by VCG-IS and Smith as part of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; that Smith has received good, adequate and valuable consideration for each of such covenants; that each of such
covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the interests and properties of VCG-IS; that irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by VCG-IS should Smith breach any of such covenants and agreements; that each of such covenants
and agreements is separate, distinct and severable not only from the other of such covenants and agreements but also from other and remaining provisions of this Agreement; and, that the invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or
agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other such covenants or agreements or any other provision or provisions of this Agreement unless expressly stated herein. Further, if any provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid
or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because of a conflict between such provision and any applicable law or public policy, such provision shall be redrawn by such court to the extent required to make such provision consistent with,
and valid and enforceable under, such law or public policy, and as redrawn may be enforced against Smith. 
 7. Tolling. In the event
that Smith should breach any or all of the covenants set forth in Sections 2, 3 and/or 4 hereof, the running of the period of the restrictions set forth in such section or sections breached shall be tolled during the continuation(s) of any breach or
breaches by Smith, and the running of the period of such restrictions shall commence or commence again only upon compliance by Smith with the terms of the applicable section or sections breached. 
 8. Consideration. In consideration for Smith’s compliance with his obligations under this Agreement, and as part of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Smith shall receive from VCG-IS the sum of Five Thousand ($5,000.00) Dollars in cash on the Closing Date, and such other consideration provided for in the Purchase Agreement. Further, Smith acknowledges and
agrees that the terms of this Agreement contained herein are reasonable in light of the good, adequate and valuable consideration which Smith shall receive pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. 
 9. Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement by the other party shall not be effective unless in writing, and no such
waiver shall operate or be construed as the waiver of the same or another breach on a subsequent occasion. 
 10. Venue/Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. The parties agree that Anaheim, California and the federal and state courts located therein shall be the exclusive venue for any action arising out
of

or relating to this Agreement and each party agrees to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. 
 11. Amendment. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon VCG-IS or Smith unless made in writing and signed by
the parties hereto. 
 12. Captions and Section Headings. Captions and section headings used herein are for convenience only and are
not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in construing it.

 1. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Borrower, VCG-IS, LLC, promises to pay to 2640 W. Woodland,
Inc. or order (Note Holder) the principal sum of Three Million Two Hundred Ninety-Three Thousand Twenty-Seven ($3,293,027.00) U.S. Dollars, along with an annual interest rate of Eight (8%) percent. This Note shall be amortized as follows:

 Thirty-five (35) consecutive monthly payments of Forty-Three Thousand Forty-One Dollars and Twenty-Eight Cents ($43,041.28) beginning
thirty (30) days after the date of execution of this Note, as set forth above, and a thirty-sixth (36th) and final payment of Two Million Four Hundred Eighty-One Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Four Dollars and Twenty Cents ($2,481,264.20)
thirty (30) days after the due date of the thirty-fifth (35th) payment. Said payments shall be made at 1171 E. Ash Ave., Fullerton, California 92831, or at such other address as is provided in writing by Note Holder. 
 2. Payments received for application to this Note shall be applied first to the payment of accrued interest at the rate specified above, if any, second,
to accrued interest first specified above, and the balance applied in reduction of the principal amount owed. 
 3. If any payment required
by this Note is not paid when due, or if any default under this Note occurs, the entire principal amount outstanding and accrued interest thereon shall at once become due and payable at the option of the Note Holder (Acceleration); and the
indebtedness shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of default, provided, however, said rate shall be adjusted downward to the highest rate allowed by law if the legal rate is lower. The Note Holder
shall be entitled to collect all reasonable costs and expense of collection and/or suit, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
 4. Borrower may prepay the principal amount outstanding under this Note, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty. Any partial prepayment shall be applied against the principal amount outstanding and shall not
postpone the due date of any subsequent payments or change the amount of such payments. 
 5. Borrower and all other makers, sureties,
guarantors, and endorsers hereby waive presentment, notice of dishonor and protest, and they hereby agree to any extensions of time of payment and partial payments before, at, or after maturity. This Note shall be the joint and several obligation of
Borrower and all other makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers, and their successors and assigns. 
  

 /s/ MO 

 6. The failure of Note Holder to strictly enforce any provision of this Note shall not be deemed a waiver
of Note Holder’s rights to strictly enforce that or any other term of this Note at any other time. 
 7. Any notice to Borrower provided
for in this Note shall be in writing and shall be given and be effective upon (1) delivery to Borrower or (2) mailing such notice by first-class U.S. mail, addressed to Borrower at the Borrower’s address stated below, or to such other
address as Borrower may designate by notice to the Note Holder. Any notice to the Note Holder shall be in writing and shall be given and be effective only upon (1) delivery to Note Holder or (2) by mailing such notice by first-class U.S.
mail, to the Note Holder at the address stated in the first paragraph of this Note, or to such other address as Note Holder may designate by notice to Borrower. 
 8. This Note is collateralized by all of the membership interests in VCG-IS, LLC dba Imperial Showgirls and the assets of said entity. 
 9. This Note shall be construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California. Venue for any lawsuit regarding this Note shall be a court of competent jurisdiction in Orange County, California. 
 10. It is the intention of Note Holder and the undersigned to comply strictly with all applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no
contingency shall Note Holder ever be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum rate which Note Holder may lawfully charge under applicable
statutes and laws from time to time in effect. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest contract rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect, the undersigned
hereof and Note Holder shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize the non-principal payment as a reasonable loan charge, rather than as interest. Any provision hereof, or of any other agreement between Note Holder and
the undersigned, that operates to bind, obligate or compel the undersigned to pay interest in excess of such maximum lawful contract rate shall be construed to require the payment of the maximum rate only. The provisions of this paragraph shall be
given precedence over any other provision contained herein or in any
