                  Assumption and Assignment.

                           Sellers agree to assign the Assumed Contracts to the
applicable members of the Tango Buyer Group or the JBC Buyer Group (in
accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2(a)), as provided in this Section
2(c) and the Final Order;

                           Sellers agree to cure all defaults under the Assumed
Contracts prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, payment of any
applicable cure amounts, to the extent required pursuant to an order of the
Bankruptcy Court to effectuate the valid assignment of the Assumed Contracts;

                           Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain a stipulation by the relevant parties or a determination by the
Bankruptcy Court that the agreements or instruments set forth on Schedule 1.4
are financing transactions. In the event a dispute exists as of the Closing
between the Sellers and any party to one or more of the agreements or
instruments listed on Schedule 1.4 as to whether such agreement(s) constitutes a
"true lease" (requiring cure of defaults and assumption and assignment) or a
financing transaction, Sellers agree to obtain a Sale Order providing that the
applicable members of the Tango Buyer Group or the JBC Buyer Group (in
accordance with the last paragraph of Section 2(a)) receive either transfer of
title to the assets described in the agreement(s) or instrument(s) listed on
Schedule 1.4 subject to such dispute, free and clear of all Liens pursuant to
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or, alternatively, an assignment of such
agreement(s) pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, upon final
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction (and pending such
determination, Buyer shall be entitled to possession and control of the property
subject to such dispute).

                           At the Closing, the applicable members of the Tango
Buyer Group or the JBC Buyer Group, as appropriate, shall assume and thereafter
in due course pay, fully satisfy, discharge and perform the Assumed Liabilities,
including all of the obligations under the Assumed Contracts pursuant to Section
365 of the Bankruptcy Code, provided that, to the extent any agreements or
instruments listed on Schedule 1.4 are determined to be "true leases" pursuant
to the provisions of Section 1.203 of the Uniform Commercial Code (either by
stipulation by the relevant parties or determination by the Bankruptcy Court),
the Buyer Group shall assume all monetary obligations to third parties under
such agreements and instruments up to $150,000 (such limitations of $150,000 to
be allocated between the Tango Buyer Group and the JBC Buyer Group as mutually
agreed by those groups). With respect to the Assumed Liabilities, to the extent
such Assumed Liabilities are related to (X) the Tango Acquired Stores, such
Assumed Liabilities shall be assumed, paid, satisfied, discharged and performed
by the applicable members of the Tango Buyer Group or (Y) the JBC Acquired
Stores, such Assumed Liabilities shall be assumed, paid, satisfied, discharged
and performed by the applicable members of the JBC Buyer Group.

                  Retained Liabilities. The Buyer Group shall not assume or
agree to pay, satisfy, discharge or perform, or take or agree to take any of the
Purchased Assets subject to, and shall not be deemed by virtue of the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement or any document delivered to the
Sellers or Buyer Group at the Closing pursuant hereto, or as a result of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to have assumed, or to
have agreed to assume, pay, satisfy, discharge or perform, or take, or to have
agreed to take, any of the Retained Liabilities.

                  Consideration.

                           Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment in accordance
with this Section 2(e), (A) the aggregate purchase price for the Purchased
Assets to be acquired by the applicable members of the Tango Buyer Group (the
"Tango Purchase Price") is equal to Forty-Five Million Eight Hundred Ninety-Five
Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty United States Dollars (US $45,895,850) and (B) the
aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets to be purchased by the
applicable members of the JBC Buyer Group (the "JBC Purchase Price" and together
with the Tango Purchase Price, the "Purchase Price") is


                                       13

equal to Eighteen Million Two Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand One Hundred Fifty
United States Dollars (US $18,294,150). To the extent the Purchase Price is
equal to Eighteen Million Two Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand One Hundred Fifty
United States Dollars (US $18,294,150). To the extent the Purchase Price is
adjusted in accordance with this Section 2(e), subject to Section 2(e)(vii) and
Section 2(e)(viii), the amount of any Purchase Price adjustment shall be
allocated between the Tango Buyer Group and the JBC Buyer Group based on the pro
rata portion of the Purchase Price payable by such groups in accordance with
this Section 2(e)(i) unless the JBC Buyer Group and Tango Buyer Group mutually
agree to a different allocation.

                  Adjusted Inventory Adjustment. The Purchase Price at the
Closing shall be:

                          increased by the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate Estimated Adjusted Inventory (as defined and determined pursuant to
this Section 2(e)(ii) and as set forth on Schedule 2(e)(ii)), exceeds $1,161,000
(the "Adjusted Inventory Baseline"); or

                          reduced by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate
Estimated Adjusted Inventory is less than the Adjusted Inventory Baseline.

         For the purposes of this Agreement, "Adjusted Inventory" means the
total of the following items: (i) food, (ii) beverages, (iii) beer, (iv) wine,
(v) liquor, (vi) retail clothing, (vii) retail-other/redemption inventory,
(viii) cigarettes, and (ix) cigars, in each case as (1) calculated in accordance
with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Financial
Statements and (2) consistent with the preparation of the Adjusted Inventory
Statement attached hereto as Schedule 2(e). No later than five (5) business days
before the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a written statement,
which shall be based on a physical inventory by Sellers, prepared in good faith
and subject to Buyer's reasonable approval (the "Adjusted Inventory Statement")
setting forth Sellers' reasonable estimation of the dollar amount of Adjusted
Inventory of the Sellers referenced on Schedule 2(e) as of the close of business
on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Estimated Adjusted
Inventory").

                  Deposit. Each of Tango and JBC has previously entered into an
escrow agreement with Sellers and Union Bank of California, N.A. dated as of May
23, 2004. Notwithstanding anything in such escrow agreement to the contrary, the
Parties agree to cause the amounts thereunder (the "Initial Earnest Money
Deposits") to be transferred and deposited into the escrow account of Frost
Brown Todd LLC (the "Escrow Agent") within two business days from the date
hereof. An additional earnest money deposit (such additional deposit, with the
Initial Earnest Money Deposits, the "Deposit") in the amount of $1,421,000 shall
be paid by Tango into an escrow account of the Escrow Agent within two business
days of the date hereof. Such Deposit shall be held in accordance with the terms
of the Bid Procedures Order and in accordance with the terms of that certain
Escrow Agreement dated September 23, 2004 by and among Buyers, Sellers'
Representative and the Escrow Agent. The Deposit shall be applied to the
Purchase Price payable by Buyers (in accordance with the respective amounts
deposited by each Buyer Group) on the Closing Date; provided, that, in the event
the Tango Buyer Group purchases the JBC Acquired Stores (as well as the Tango
Acquired Stores), as provided in this Agreement, then the full amount of the
Deposit, including any amounts deposited on behalf of the JBC Buyer Group, will
be applied to the purchase price to be paid by the Tango Buyer Group. If the
Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 20, 2004 by reason of a
breach by either of the Buyers of any material representation, warranty, or
covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, which breach has
continued without cure for a period of ten (10) days after Seller's notice of
breach, and Sellers terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9(a)(v)(A),
then the Escrow Agent shall pay from the Deposit an amount equal to $2,800,000
(the "Forfeiture Deposit") to Sellers in accordance with the terms of the Bid
Procedure Order (it being understood that (i) if JBC is the Buyer in breach, the
remainder of the Deposit shall be returned to Tango, and (ii) if Tango is the
Buyer in breach, the remainder of the Deposit shall be returned to JBC). If this
Agreement is terminated for any other reason, or in the event that a Person
other than the Buyer Parties purchases all or any portion of the Purchased
Assets, then the


                                       14


Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to the respective Buyers in accordance
with the terms of the Bid Procedure Order.

                  In accordance with Section 2(b)(xi), the Sony Equipment is an
Excluded Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers covenant and agree to
use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such Sony Equipment in the
Acquired Stores to the applicable Buyer Party as part of the Purchased Assets.
If Sellers are able to effect the delivery of the Sony Equipment as part of the
Purchased Assets prior to the Closing, and are able to do so in accordance with
the representations, warranties and other provisions of this Agreement, free and
clear of all Liens, including any purchase money liens and other liens or
encumbrances securing rental payments under any lease, then, the Purchase Price
at the Closing shall be increased by $120,000, and such Sony Equipment shall be
included as part of Purchased Assets.

                  The Gwinnett Partnership Interest will be included as a
Purchased Asset, in accordance with Section 2(a)(v), provided that first Tango
and/or one of its designees and Sugarloaf Mills Residual Limited Partnership
(the "Limited Partner") enter into a written agreement in connection with the
proposed transfer of the Gwinnett Partnership Interest from Jillian's of
Gwinnett to Tango, which agreement is satisfactory to Tango and includes (A) any
consents or approvals of the Limited Partner, its Affiliates or others, as
appropriate, to such transfer as may be required under the Gwinnett Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Gwinnett Management Agreement, the Gwinnett Lease or
otherwise and (B) an acknowledgement by the Limited Partner that it and its
Affiliates are owed no more than $2,700,000 from Tango, any of their Affiliates
or Sugarloaf-Gwinnett Partnership in connection with the Gwinnett Limited
Partnership Agreement, the Gwinnett Lease, the Gwinnett Management Agreement, or
any other related agreement, including without limitation all payments due under
Article 6 of the Gwinnett Limited Partnership Agreement, but excluding amounts
accruing under those agreements in respect of periods following the Closing. If
Tango or one of its designees and the Limited Partner do not enter into such an
agreement within 60 days following the Closing Date, then the Tango Purchase
Price shall be reduced by $1,000,000, and the Gwinnett Partnership Interest
shall be excluded from the Purchased Assets and the Gwinnett Limited Partnership
Agreement, the Gwinnett Management Agreement and the Gwinnett Lease will be
excluded from the list of Assume Contracts.

                  Party Deposits. The Purchase Price at the Closing shall be
decreased by the amount of the Party Deposits in excess of $650,000.

                  Cash on Hand. The Purchase Price payable by the applicable
Buyer at the Closing shall be increased by the dollar amount of Cash on Hand at
the applicable Acquired Stores, the assets of which are being purchased
hereunder.

                  Purchase Price Adjustment; Real Estate Expenses and Taxes.

                          On or prior to the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyers a written statement (the "Closing
Date Adjustment Statement") setting forth Sellers' reasonable estimation of the
amount, as of the Closing Date, of all prepayments made by Sellers for periods
following the Closing and all accrued obligations of any Sellers for periods
prior to the Closing, in each case with respect to base rent, percentage rent or
other monthly rent payments, real property taxes and personal property taxes
that are to be paid by Sellers in accordance with the real property leases for
the Acquired Stores and allocated among the appropriate Acquired Stores (the
"Adjustment Expenses"). Sellers shall offset any prepayments, which are included
in the Adjustment Expenses, against any accrued obligations that remain unpaid,
which are also included in the Adjustment Expenses, and the resulting dollar
amount shall be referred to herein as the "Estimated Closing Date Adjustment
Amount". At the Closing, the Purchase Price payable by the applicable Buyer
shall be


                                       15


increased by the Estimated Closing Date Adjustment Amount if the estimated
amount of prepayments exceeds the accrued obligations, or the Purchase Price
payable by the applicable Buyer shall be decreased if the amount of accrued
obligations exceeds the prepayments made with respect to the Acquired Stores the
assets of which are being purchased by such Buyer hereunder.

                  Following the Closing, Sellers shall prepare a statement (the
"Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement") setting forth the actual amount, as
of the Closing Date, of the Adjustment Expenses, the total of which shall be
referred to herein as the "Final Closing Date Adjustment Amount". Sellers shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Final Closing Date Adjustment
Statement to be delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) days following the Closing
Date, but in no event will the Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement be
delivered any later than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date. The
Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to subsection (A) hereof, shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any difference in the amount, if any, by which
the Estimated Closing Date Adjustment Amount is more or less than the Final
Closing Date Adjustment Amount.

                  Sellers shall make available to Buyers, without cost or
expense to Buyers, the books and records of Sellers (and its accountants
regarding the business) and personnel of Sellers which Buyers and their
accountants reasonably require and take such other action reasonably necessary
in order to allow Buyer to review and confirm the accuracy of the Final Closing
Date Adjustment Statement as applicable to the appropriate Buyer.

                  The Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement, as prepared by
Sellers, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto unless the
applicable Buyer shall deliver written notice of a dispute stating that the
Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement is not prepared in accordance with the
requirements of this Section 2 or is otherwise incorrect (an "Adjustment Dispute
Notice"), such Adjustment Dispute Notice to be delivered to Sellers within
fifteen (15) days following receipt by such applicable Buyer of the Final
Closing Date Adjustment Statement. The Adjustment Dispute Notice shall set
forth, in reasonable detail, the items and amounts with which by the applicable
Buyer disagrees, and Sellers and the applicable Buyer shall, within fifteen (15)
days following receipt by Sellers of such Adjustment Dispute Notice, attempt to
resolve such dispute and agree in writing upon the final content of the Final
Closing Date Adjustment Statement.

                  If the applicable Buyer does not dispute the accuracy of the
Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement, then the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted appropriately and Sellers or the appropriate Buyer, as applicable,
shall remit payment to the other to reflect any decrease or increase in the
Purchase Price, as a result of such adjustment, in immediately available funds
within fifteen (15) days of the date on which the Final Closing Date Adjustment
Statement is made final.

                  If the applicable Buyer delivers an Adjustment Dispute Notice
to Sellers pursuant to Section 2(e)(ix)(D) hereof, and Buyers and Sellers
resolve such dispute and agree in writing upon the final content of the Final
Closing Date Adjustment Statement, Sellers or such the applicable Buyer that
delivered the Adjustment Dispute Notice shall remit the Final Closing Date
Adjustment Amount to the other in immediately available funds within five (5)
days of the agreement by applicable Buyer and Sellers regarding the final
content of the Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement.

                  If Sellers and the applicable Buyer are unable to resolve any
such dispute within the fifteen (15) day period following receipt by Sellers of
such Adjustment Dispute Notice, a nationally recognized independent accounting
firm mutually acceptable to the Parties (the "Arbitrating Accountant") shall,
within five (5) business days following such fifteen (15) day period, be engaged
as arbitrator hereunder to settle such dispute within thirty (30) days following
the engagement of the Arbitrating Accountant. The Parties hereby acknowledge and
agree to waive any conflicts of interest or


                                       16


otherwise in connection with engaging such Arbitrating Accountant. In connection
with the resolution of any such dispute, the Arbitrating Accountant shall have
access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel
necessary to perform its function as arbitrator (and each Party shall be given
access to any such documents). None of the Parties shall be permitted to conduct
or take any discovery (other than the access to documents referred to in the
preceding sentence), testimony, depositions, cross-examinations or otherwise of
the other Parties. The Arbitrating Accountant's function shall be to review only
those items set forth on the Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement which are
in dispute and to resolve the dispute with respect to such items. The
Arbitrating Accountant's determination with respect to any such dispute shall be
final and binding upon the Parties hereto, and judgment may be entered on the
determination. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant shall be
borne equally by Sellers and the applicable Buyer. Upon the resolution of such
dispute, (1) the Final Closing Date Adjustment Statement shall be revised to
reflect such resolution, (2) any adjustment to the Final Closing Date Adjustment
Statement, the Purchase Price and the payment for the adjusted Final Closing
Date Adjustment Amount shall be made within five (5) days following the
resolution of such dispute in accordance with this Section 2(e)(ix), and (3)
concurrent with the resolution of such dispute and the making of the required
payments, if any, Sellers and the applicable Buyer shall execute a mutual
release, in form and substance satisfactory to such Parties, relating only to
the resolution of the dispute regarding the Final Closing Date Adjustment
Statement.

                  Tax Allocation of Purchase Price. At or prior to the Closing,
Buyers and Sellers shall enter into an agreement reasonably allocating the
Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the
Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Treasury
Regulation 1.1060-1. Buyers and Sellers shall report and file all of their
respective Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns and claims for refund)
consistent with such allocation, and shall take no position contrary thereto or
inconsistent therewith (including, without limitation, in any audits or
examinations by any taxing authority or in any other proceedings). Buyers and
Sellers shall cooperate in the filing of any forms (including Forms 8594) with
respect to such allocation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, the foregoing agreement shall survive the Closing Date without
limitation and shall bind the Parties thereto for U.S. federal, state and local
income tax purposes only and for no other purpose.

Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the Dallas offices of Hallett &
Perrin, P.C., commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time on the Monday following the

The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the

                          Sellers have good and marketable title to the

                          All of the tangible Purchased Assets are in the
possession and control of Sellers and located at the appropriate Acquired Store
or Sellers' Louisville, Kentucky corporate headquarters as appropriate. The
Purchased Assets, considered as a whole and not on an asset by asset basis, are

proceeding is pending to revoke or limit any of such permits.

                  Tax Matters. In each case, to the Knowledge of Sellers:

                          Each Seller has filed all Income Tax Returns that it

                  Real Property.

                          None of Sellers owns any real property in respect of
the operation of the Acquired Stores.

                          Section 4(j) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the
address of each parcel of Leased Real Property, and a true and complete list of
all Leases for each such parcel of Leased Real Property. Sellers have made

                          Except as set forth in Section 4(j) of the Disclosure
Schedule, with respect to each of the Leases: (a) such Lease is a legal, valid,
binding and enforceable obligation of the Seller that is a party thereto, and to
Sellers' Knowledge, such Lease is a legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of the other parties thereto, and is in full force and effect, in
each case, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting
generally the enforcement of creditor's rights and except to the extent that the
availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
thereof may be brought; (b) each Seller's possession and quiet enjoyment of the
Leased Real Property demised under such Seller's respective Lease has not been
disturbed; (c) no Seller is, and to each Seller's Knowledge, no other party to
the Lease, is in breach or default under such Lease, and, to each Seller's

such Lease; (d) Seller has not subleased, licensed or otherwise granted any
Person the right to use or occupy such Leased Real Property or any portion
thereof; and (e) Seller has not collaterally assigned or granted any other

                          To Sellers' Knowledge, Sellers' use of the Leased Real
Property does not materially violate any material zoning, building, health,
fire, water use or similar statute or regulation and Seller has received no
written notice regarding such violation.

                          Sellers have not received any notice that either the
whole or any portion of the Leased Real Property is to be condemned,
requisitioned or otherwise taken by any public authority.

                          To Sellers' Knowledge, there is no current material
interruption in the delivery of adequate service of any utilities or other
public authorities required in the operation of the Acquired Stores.

                          All title documents and any surveys, engineering and
technical reports, soils testing reports, property condition reports, reports of
environmental or hazardous materials inspections and title opinions or other
assurances with respect to the Leased Real Property in the possession of any
Seller have been made available to Buyers.

                                       21

binding, and enforceable obligation of the Seller that is a party thereto, and

rights and except to the extent that the availability of specific performance,
injunctive relief or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of
the court before which any proceeding thereof may be brought; and (b) no Seller
is, and to each Seller's Knowledge, no other party to the Assumed Contract is,
in breach or default under such Assumed Contract, and, to each Seller's
Knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with the delivery

default, or permit the termination, modification or acceleration of payment
under such Assumed Contract.

                  Litigation. In respect of the Purchased Assets or the
operation of the Acquired Stores, (i) none of Sellers is (A) subject to any
outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, or charge or (B) a
party to any action, suit, proceeding, hearing, or investigation of, in, or
before any court or quasi-judicial or administrative agency of any federal,
state, local, or foreign jurisdiction, and (ii) to the Knowledge of each Seller,
none of the foregoing has been threatened, except where the injunction,
judgment, order, decree, ruling, action, suit, proceeding, hearing, or
investigation would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  Environmental, Health, and Safety Matters. In each case, to
the Knowledge of Sellers:

                          All Sellers are in material compliance with all
Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements.

                          No Seller has received any written notice, report or
other information regarding any actual or alleged material violation of
Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements, or any material liabilities or
potential material liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent,
unliquidated or otherwise), including any investigatory, remedial or corrective
obligations, relating to any Seller or any Acquired Store arising under
Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements.

                          No underground tank or other underground storage

on, upon, into or from any of the Leased Real Property, except in material
compliance with applicable Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements.

                          This Section 4(m) contains the sole and exclusive

health, or safety matters, including, without limitation, any arising under any
Environmental, Health, and Safety Requirements.

                  Labor Matters. To the Knowledge of Sellers, there are no
claims by any or on behalf of any of the employees at the Acquired Stores

including, but not limited to, sexual harassment or discrimination claims,

state of facts or event which could reasonably be expected to form the basis for
any Employee Claims. To the Knowledge of Sellers, there are no labor disputes,
strikes or lockouts pending between any Seller and any of the employees engaged
in the operation of any Acquired


                                       22


Store, and to the Knowledge of Sellers, there have been no organizational
efforts during the past five years involving any of such employees to organize

operation of the Acquired Stores, each Seller has complied in all material
respects with all material laws relating to employment and labor, including any
provisions thereof relating to compensation, hours, collective bargaining,
discrimination, civil rights, safety and health, workers' compensation and the

Buyers a copy of any employee handbook that has been given to employees of the
Acquired Stores and a copy of each group health plan that is subject to COBRA.

                  Transferred Intellectual Property. Sellers or JEC are the sole
owners of the Transferred Intellectual Property. Sellers have the right to use
all Transferred Intellectual Property in the conduct of the business of the
Acquired Stores as currently conducted. To Sellers' Knowledge, Sellers have

comprising the Transferred Intellectual Property) and its rights to use the
Transferred Intellectual Property. No claims have been asserted or threatened,

no basis for) any such claim that (i) any Seller has infringed upon or
misappropriated the rights of any other person in respect of any Transferred
Intellectual Property or (ii) any Transferred Intellectual Property or the use
by any Seller of such Transferred Intellectual Property is invalid or
unenforceable. To the Knowledge of each Seller, none of the Transferred

warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of Sellers or any
of their respective assets, liabilities or operations, including with respect to
merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, and any such other
representations or warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed. Buyers hereby
acknowledge and agree that, except to the extent specifically set forth in this
Section 4, the Buyer Parties are purchasing the Purchased Assets on an "as-is,
where-is" basis. Buyers hereby acknowledge and agree that any consequences
arising solely from Sellers' filing of the Chapter 11 Case in accordance with
this Agreement shall not be deemed a breach of any of the representations or
warranties set forth in this Agreement.

         Pre-Closing Covenants. The Parties agree as follows with respect to the
period between the execution of this Agreement and the Closing.

                  General. Each of the Parties will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to take all action and to do all things necessary, proper, or
advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (including satisfaction, but not waiver, of the
Closing conditions set forth in Section 7 below).

                  Filings. Each Party shall cooperate with any other Party in
obtaining all authorizations, consents, and approvals of governments and
governmental agencies that may be or become necessary in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to take all
reasonable actions to avoid the entry of any order or decree by governments and
governmental agencies prohibiting the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and shall furnish to the other all such information in its
possession as may be necessary for the completion of the notifications to be
filed by the other; provided that, in complying with this Section 5(b) hereof
and subject to Section 5(g) below


                                       23


(which will require Buyers to expend out-of-pocket monies to obtain consents of
alcoholic beverage control and similar governmental authorities), neither of the
Buyers nor Sellers shall be required to expend any out-of-pocket monies to
obtain any approval or consent required hereunder, except for customary
professional (including attorneys) fees and filing fees incident to the
transactions contemplated hereby, or to become subject to any condition or
requirement which would be adverse to such Party.

                  Operation of Business. Subject to any restrictions and
obligations imposed by the Bankruptcy Court, no Seller will engage in any
practice, take any action, or enter into any transaction outside the Ordinary
Course of Business, including, without limitation, any amendment or change to
its employee retention program. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Seller will refrain from doing any of the following in respect
of the Purchased Assets or the operation of the Acquired Stores: (i) disposing
of, or transferring, any material Purchased Asset except for the sale of such
assets in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) transferring any tangible
Purchased Asset from any Acquired Store to any other location outside the
Ordinary Course of Business, (iii) amending, terminating or modifying the
material terms of any of the Assumed Contracts, or (iv) making any change in the
compensation payable or to become payable to the employees of the Acquired
Stores, other than increases or promotions in the Ordinary Course of Business;
provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding
sentence, Sellers may, upon prior written notice to Buyers in their reasonable
discretion take such actions in connection with or as a result of the
consequences (adverse or otherwise) of filing the Chapter 11 Case, if any, to
cure defaults in respect of the Assumed Contracts.

                  Access.

                          Sellers will permit representatives of each Buyer
(including legal counsel and accountants) to have reasonable access at
reasonable times, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal
business operations of Sellers, to all premises, properties, personnel
(including its IT support personnel), books, landlords, suppliers, vendors,
records (including tax records), contracts, and any other documents or records
of or pertaining to the Purchased Assets; provided, however, Buyers and their
representatives shall coordinate all requests for access and information with
the chief restructuring officer of Sellers. Such access shall include the
provision of adequate workspace for at least one representative of each Buyer
with telephone, computer, printer and internet access. Buyers will treat and
hold as such any Confidential Information they receive from Sellers in the
course of the reviews contemplated by this Section 5(d), including, without
limitation, any Confidential Information they received prior to the date hereof,
will not use any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this
Agreement, and, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, will
return to Sellers or destroy all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the
Confidential Information which are in their possession. Sellers shall promptly
deliver to each Buyer copies of all pleadings, motions, notices, statements,
schedules, applications, reports and other papers filed by Sellers in their
Chapter 11 Case as Buyers shall reasonably request. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if either Buyer or any of its representatives becomes
legally required to disclose any Confidential Information that it is otherwise
obligated to hold in confidence pursuant to this Section 5(d)(i), such Buyer
will promptly notify the Sellers and will use all commercially reasonable
efforts to cooperate with the Sellers so that the Sellers may seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Section
5(d)(i). If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if the
Sellers waive compliance with this Section 5(d)(i), such Buyer will (a) disclose
only that portion of the Confidential Information which its legal counsel
advises it is compelled to disclose or otherwise stand liable for contempt or
suffer other similar significant corporate censure or penalty, (b) use all
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance requested by the
Sellers that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential
Information, and (c) promptly provide the Sellers with a copy of the
Confidential Information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed,
together with a list of all Persons to whom such Confidential Information was
disclosed.

                                       24


                          Sellers will provide to Buyers the information set
forth on Schedule 5(d) substantially in accordance with the time periods set
forth on such Schedule. To the extent that such information relates to trade
secrets or other proprietary information of third parties, the parties will
reasonably cooperate with one another to ensure that the provision of such
information does not violate any applicable terms of the licenses or other
agreements relating to such information.

                          Sellers will provide the Buyers with reasonable access
to the Acquired Stores which they intend to purchase for the purpose of
installing, at such Buyer's cost, wide area network lines, computer software and
related assets necessary to effect the transition the Acquired Stores on the
Closing Date to such Buyer's information technology systems; provided, however,
that if this Agreement is terminated, such Buyer will bear the cost of removing
any such assets; and provided further that such installation shall not occur in
a manner that unreasonably interferes with Sellers' operation of the Acquired
Stores; and provided further that in no event shall Buyers connect the installed
equipment or otherwise have access to Sellers' computer network prior to
Closing. Further, Sellers will permit the Buyers to have reasonable access
(provided that such access shall be to the extent practicable during times other
than normal business hours and Buyers shall bear any associated costs
(including, without limitation, any associated payroll and related costs)) to
its personnel prior to the Closing so that Buyers may train such personnel in
the use of Buyers' installed equipment and systems.

                  Notice of Developments. Sellers shall notify Buyers of any
development causing a breach of any of the representations and warranties in
Section 4 above. Unless Buyers have the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii) below by reason of the development and exercise
that right in accordance with Section 9(a)(ii) below, the written notice
pursuant to this Section 5(e) will be deemed to have amended the Disclosure
Schedule, to have qualified the representations and warranties contained in
Section 4 above, and to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty
that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of the development.

                  Bankruptcy Court Approval and Related Matters.

                          Each Seller shall (in each case, in accordance with
all applicable requirements of, and procedures under, the Bankruptcy Code and
subject in all cases to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court) use their
commercially reasonable efforts to (a) assign to the Buyer purchasing the assets
of such Seller hereunder at the Closing, each of the Assumed Contracts to which
it is a party, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(a) and (c) above,
(b) seek the approval of the Sale Order approving the sale of the Purchased
Assets to such Buyer, and thereafter take all actions as may be reasonably
necessary to cause Such Order to be issued, entered and become a Final Order,
and (c) timely serve a copy of the Sale Order upon any and all parties in
interest entitled or required to receive notice under all applicable laws, rules
and regulations and orders of the Bankruptcy Court, including but not limited
to, all governmental taxing authorities or agencies in the jurisdictions where
the Seller conducts or previously conducted business prior to the hearing on
such motion.

                          Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyers, on the other
hand, shall cooperate reasonably with the other and its representatives in
connection with the Sale Order and the bankruptcy proceedings in connection
therewith. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (A) consulting
with Buyers at Buyers' reasonable request concerning the status of such
proceedings, (B) providing Buyers with advance copies of pleadings, notices,
proposed orders and other documents in connection with the Sale Order for
Buyers' review and comment and copies of other pleadings, notices, proposed
orders and other documents in connection the bankruptcy proceedings as soon as
reasonably available prior to any submission thereof to the Bankruptcy Court,
and (C) promptly providing Buyers with copies of all papers submitted to the
Bankruptcy Court. Nothing contained herein shall require any Party to agree to
any amendment of this Agreement, to expend any out-of-pocket funds (other than
customary


                                       25


professional (including attorneys) fees and filing and service fees and costs
incident to such proceedings) or to agree to any condition or requirement
adverse to such Party.

                          If, following the Closing, the Sale Order or any other
order of the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement shall be appealed by
any Person (or a petition for certiorari or motion for rehearing or reargument
shall be filed with respect thereto), Sellers shall take all steps as may be
reasonable and appropriate to defend against such appeal, petition or motion,
and Buyers agree to cooperate in such efforts, and each Party hereto shall
endeavor to obtain an expedited resolution of such appeal. Nothing contained
herein shall modify the termination rights set forth in Section 9 of this
Agreement.

                          Buyers acknowledge and agree that the Lenders may
credit bid for all or a portion of the business and assets of Sellers.

                          Buyers agree to cooperate with Sellers in connection
with furnishing information pertaining to the satisfaction of the requirement of
adequate assurances of future performance as required under Section 362(f)(2)(B)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

                          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Sellers shall have the right, in their sole discretion (without any obligation
to notify or otherwise consult with Buyers) to reject any or all Excluded
Assets, including any or all contracts other than the Assumed Contracts, and to
take all actions necessary to effectuate any such rejection or rejections,
including prosecuting a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking authorization, as
necessary, to reject such Excluded Assets.

                  Liquor Licenses and Permits. Each Buyer shall be responsible
for and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all required liquor
licenses and permits from alcoholic beverage control and similar governmental
authorities in connection with the operation of the Acquired Stores. If any such
required consents have not been obtained with respect to any of the Acquired
Stores or any of the stores subject to the Denver Management Agreement, or the
Gwinnett Management Agreement (if acquired by Tango or any Tango designee
pursuant to Section 2(e)(v) hereof) such that such Buyer would not be able to
operate such Acquired Store, Denver store, or Gwinnett store (herein a "Failed
Site") as applicable on and after the Closing Date, then Sellers shall, to the
extent reasonably practicable enter into such management, concession or similar
arrangements reasonably requested by such Buyer (an "Alternative Arrangement")
as may be permitted under alcoholic beverage control laws that would permit the
operation of the Failed Site(s) by such Buyer after the Closing without any
adverse economic effect on such Buyer or Sellers. If, as of the Closing Date, no
Alternative Arrangement can be implemented without adverse impact on such Buyer
or Sellers, then at the Closing, (i) the amount of the Purchase Price
attributable to such Failed Site(s) (as set forth on Schedule 5(g)) will be set
aside from the Purchase Price and paid by the applicable Buyer to the Escrow
Agent; provided, however, there shall be no Purchase Price set aside in
connection with the Denver store under any circumstances and the Escrow Agent
shall not receive or hold any funds in connection with the Denver Store, (ii)
the Closing as to such Failed Site(s) will be extended (although not beyond the
Outside Closing Date) until the required consent(s) are obtained, (iii) if the
Closing as to such Failed Site(s) occurs, the Escrow Agent shall pay all funds
held by it in respect of the applicable Failed Site(s) to the Sellers, (iv) if
the Closing as to such Failed Site(s) does not occur prior to the Outside
Closing Date as a result of the failure to obtain any required consents of
alcoholic beverage control and similar governmental authorities which is
primarily attributable to Sellers operations of such Failed Site(s) or the
physical characteristics of such Failed Site(s) (in each case, with the burden
of proof on such Buyer), the Escrow Agent shall return all funds held by it in
respect of the applicable Failed Site(s) to such Buyer, and (v) if the Closing
as to such Failed Site(s) does not occur prior to the Outside Closing Date for
any other reason, the Escrow Agent shall return all funds held by it in respect
of the applicable Failed Site(s) to the Sellers.

                                       26


                  Employees and Employee Benefits.

                          Sellers will terminate its employment relationships
with the Transferred Employees on the Closing Date.

                          Each Buyer and/or one or more of its designees shall
offer employment, to be effective as of the Closing Date, to substantially all
of the employees previously employed by Sellers at the Acquired Stores the
assets of which are being purchased by such Buyer hereunder. The employment of
any employees of Sellers to whom a Buyer offers employment and who accept such
employment with a Buyer after the Closing Date (the "Transferred Employees")
shall be at-will.

                          Sellers shall retain the following liabilities or
obligations to employees of the Acquired Stores: (i) all claims for
compensation, including but not limited to, any severance obligations or accrued
but unused vacation where relevant, for periods prior to the Closing Date, (ii)
except with respect to COBRA as specified in paragraph (iv) below, all
liabilities under the Employee Benefit Plans, and (iii) all liabilities incurred
as a result of the failure to provide notice or severance pay, if any, that may
be due to any employee of Sellers as a result of such Seller's termination of
employee's employment in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Each Buyer shall be responsible for any obligations arising
under COBRA with respect to all "M&A qualified beneficiaries" in respect of the
Acquired Stores, the assets of which are being purchased by such Buyer, as
defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

                          Sellers shall provide Buyers with a list of every
person who is or may be a qualified beneficiary eligible to elect or actually
covered by COBRA under Seller's group health plans, a description of the
qualifying event (which may include the sale contemplated by this Agreement and
the failure to become a Transferred Employee), the date as of which the COBRA
coverage period began or will begin for each such person, and such other data as
Buyers shall request in order to provide continuation coverage under Buyers'
group health plans. In addition, Sellers shall provide all information to Buyers
as may be necessary or appropriate to determine whether there have been any
failures to comply with the requirements of COBRA for any current or former
employee of Seller, or any spouse, former spouse, dependent child or former
dependent child of any such employee on or prior to the Closing Date so that
such failures may be corrected. Subject to Sellers' provision of the foregoing
data requirements in this Section 5(h)(iv), Buyers shall be responsible for any
obligations arising under COBRA as a successor employer with respect to all "M&A
qualified beneficiaries" in respect of the Acquired Stores as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

                          Effective as of the Closing Date, each Buyer shall
make available to its Transferred Employees the employee benefit plan(s)
maintained by such Buyer (or one of its Affiliates) generally for its employees
(the "Buyer Plans") in accordance with their terms. To the extent permitted by
the terms of the Buyer Plans, each Buyer will (i) waive all deductibles, waiting
periods and limitations with respect to pre-existing conditions covered under
any group health Buyer Plans that would otherwise be applicable to employees of
Sellers under such Buyer Plans as of the date hereof, and (ii) grant full past
service credit with the Sellers for eligibility, benefit accrual and for vesting
to the Transferred Employees for service with Sellers under any of the Buyer
Plans.

                          Neither this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement will entitle any employee, including
but not limited to, Transferred Employees, to any other severance or seniority
benefits from Buyers nor will it accelerate compensation due any such
Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date from Buyers.

                                       27


                  Gift Certificates. As of the date hereof, Seller and its
Affiliates will not issue any Gift Certificates which may be redeemed by
consumers at the Acquired Stores unless the consideration received by the Seller
and its Affiliates from such issuance is set aside and made a part of the
Purchased Assets. Neither Buyers nor their Affiliates will issue any gift cards
or gift certificates which may be redeemed by consumers at stores of the Sellers
which are not Acquired Stores.

                  HSR Act Filing. Tango and D&B shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to make the appropriate HSR Act filing within seven (7) days
of the date hereof and such filing shall be based upon the aggregate Purchase
Price as if the Tango Buyer Group were purchasing all the Purchased Assets
relating to all the Acquired Stores. Sellers shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to make the appropriate HSR Act filing within seven (7) days
of the date hereof.

                  JBC Brand License Agreement. JBC and Tango shall enter into a
brand license agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F on or prior to
the Closing, but in no event shall such agreement become effective unless both
Buyers consummate the transactions contemplated herein. In no event shall such
preceding agreement between Buyers be a closing condition for purposes of each
Buyer's agreement hereunder with the Sellers.

         Post-Closing Covenants.

                  General. In case at any time after the Closing any further
action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the
Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of
such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably
request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.

                  Transition Services.

                          Buyers Services.

                                 For a period of one year after the Closing Date
(the "Transition Period"), Sellers and their representatives shall have
reasonable access to, and shall have the right to photocopy at their own
expense, all of the Books and Records, including any computerized databases and
files and programs and associated software relating to the pre-Closing
operations of Sellers and/or the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities as
they existed as of the Closing Date, including but not limited to (i) the
investigation, evaluation and prosecution of any and all claims retained by
Sellers, (ii) the evaluation, allowance, distribution and defense of any and all
claims brought against Sellers or their estates, and (iii) subject to any
restrictions to such disclosure under applicable law, employees' records or
other personnel and medical records, as of the Closing Date, required by law,
legal process or subpoena. During the Transition Period, Buyers agree to provide
Sellers and any of their representatives, upon reasonable request and prior
notice, with reasonable access to employees of Buyers (who may be former
employees of Sellers) during normal business hours for purposes of winding down
the estates of Sellers. Sellers agree to, and Sellers agree to cause their
representatives to, treat confidentially any information obtained pursuant to
this Section 6, including the information in the Books and Records. If Buyers
shall desire to dispose of any such Books and Records upon or prior to one year
after the Closing Date, Buyers shall, prior to such disposition, give Sellers a
reasonable opportunity, at Sellers' expense, to segregate and remove such Books
and Records as Sellers may select.

                                 Transition services shall be provided to
Sellers by JBC Buyer Group for 90 days following the Closing Date after which
time JBC may terminate such service at any time, provided that it has given
Sellers at least twenty-one days notice of such termination; provided, however,
such services shall be those services detailed on and provided in accordance
with Exhibit D.

                                       28


                                 Seller Services. Sellers will permit employees
and representatives of JBC (including legal counsel and accountants) to utilize
Sellers' corporate headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky until such date the
lease in respect of such headquarters is rejected by Sellers in accordance with
their liquidating plan. JBC agrees to pay Sellers an amount of cash each month
equal to the monthly rental payment required pursuant to the lease with respect
to such premises; provided, however, that, upon 30 days' notice, JBC can
terminate its use of such premises, and in such event, JBC will not be
responsible to make any additional payments to Sellers upon expiration of such
30-day period.

                  WARN Act. With respect to the Acquired Stores, each Buyer
covenants that it will provide a sufficient number of job offers at sufficient
terms and conditions of employment so as to not give rise to any WARN Act
liabilities or obligations to the Sellers.

                  Individual Brand License Agreements. Tango shall, as of the
Closing, enter into license agreements substantially similar to the form of
brand license agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E for the continuing
operation of stores other than the Acquired Stores under the "Jillian's" brand.

         Conditions to Obligation to Close.

                  Conditions to Buyers' Obligation. Each Buyer's obligation to
consummate the transactions to be performed by it in connection with the Closing

                          the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4 above shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of
the Closing Date (in each case as such statements relate to the Acquired Stores
that the applicable Buyer is purchasing hereunder), except to the extent that
such representations and warranties are qualified by terms such as "material"
and "Material Adverse Effect," in which case such representations and warranties
shall be true and correct in all respects at and as of the Closing Date;

                          Sellers shall have performed and complied with all of
their covenants hereunder in all material respects through the Closing, except
to the extent that such covenants are qualified by terms such as "material" and
"Material Adverse Effect," in which case Sellers shall have performed and
complied with all of such covenants in all respects through the Closing;

                          there shall not be any injunction, judgment, order,
decree, ruling, or charge in effect preventing consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no suit, action, claim,
proceeding or investigation shall be pending before any court or quasi-judicial
or administrative agency of any governmental entity in which it is sought to
restrain or prohibit consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement;

the effect that each of the conditions specified above in Section 7(a)(i)-(iii)

                          the Parties shall have received all authorizations,
consents, and approvals of governments and governmental agencies required in

expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods (and any extensions
thereof) under the HSR Act);

                          the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Sale

this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from


                                       29


consummating the transactions contemplated herein if Buyer waives the
requirement that the Sale Order shall have become a Final Order. No notice of
such waiver of this condition or any other condition to the Closing need be
given except to Sellers, it being the intention of the Parties that Buyer shall
be entitled to, and is not waiving, the protection of Section 363(m) of the
Bankruptcy Code, the mootness doctrine and any similar statute or body of law if
the Closing occurs in the absence of the Sale Order becoming a Final Order;

                          the relevant Sellers shall have entered into each of
the Ancillary Agreements; and

                          all actions to be taken by Sellers in connection with
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and all certificates,
instruments, and other documents required to effect the transactions
contemplated hereby will be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
Buyer.

         Buyer may waive any condition specified in this Section 7(a) if it
executes a writing so stating at or prior to the Closing; provided, however, the
satisfaction of the closing conditions for one Buyer Group shall not be a
closing condition for the other Buyer Group.

                  Conditions to Sellers' Obligation. Sellers' obligation to
consummate the transactions to be performed by them in connection with the
Closing is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

                          the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3 above shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of
the Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
are qualified by terms such as "material" and "Material Adverse Effect," in
which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all
respects at and as of the Closing Date;

                          Both Buyers shall have performed and complied with all
of their covenants hereunder in all material respects through the Closing,

"material" and "Material Adverse Effect," in which case both Buyers shall have
performed and complied with all of such covenants in all respects through the
Closing;

                          there shall not be any injunction, judgment, order,
decree, ruling, or charge in effect preventing consummation of any of the

proceeding or investigation shall be pending before any court or quasi-judicial
or administrative agency of any governmental entity in which it is sought to
restrain or prohibit consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement;

                          the Parties shall have received all authorizations,
consents, and approvals of governments and governmental agencies required in

permits), including, if applicable, pursuant to the HSR Act (including the
expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods (and any extensions
thereof) under the HSR Act);

                          the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Sale
Order, which shall be a Final Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this Agreement shall preclude Sellers from consummating the transactions
contemplated herein if Sellers, in their sole discretion, waives the requirement
that the Sale Order shall have become a Final Order. No notice of such waiver of
this condition or any other condition to the Closing need be given except to
Buyers, it being the intention of the Parties that Sellers shall be entitled to,
and are not waiving, the protection of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code,
the mootness doctrine and any similar statute or body of law if the Closing
occurs in the absence of the Sale Order becoming a Final Order;

                                       30


                          the relevant Buyer Parties shall have entered into
each of the Ancillary Agreements;

Sellers; and

                          Subject to Section 5(g), the Closing in respect of the

transactions contemplated herein with the JBC Buyer Group, Sellers shall enter
into a brand license agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached
hereto).

         Sellers may waive any condition specified in this Section 7(b) if they

items:

                                 the Purchase Price (less the Deposit deposited

respective Purchase Price as provided in Section 2(e)(iii) hereof) into the
trust account of the debtors-in-possession to be allocated in accordance with
the orders of the Bankruptcy Court;

                                 a certificate to the effect that each of the

representations and warranties of Sellers or Buyers contained in this Agreement
or made in any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder.

         Termination.

                  Termination of Agreement. Certain of the Parties may terminate

                          Buyers and Sellers may terminate this Agreement by
written consent of the Parties at any time prior to the Closing;

                          Either Buyer, as to it, may terminate this Agreement
by giving written notice to Sellers at any time prior to the Closing in the
event (A) Sellers have within the then previous five (5) business days given
Buyers any notice pursuant to Section 5(e) above and (B) the development that is
the


                                       31


subject of the notice has caused the representations and warranties in Section 4
above as such statements relate to the Acquired Stores that the applicable Buyer
is purchasing hereunder to not be true and correct in all material respects,
except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is qualified by
terms such as "material" and "Material Adverse Effect," in which case if such
development that is the subject of the notice has caused the representation or
warranty in Section 4 above as such statements relate to the Acquired Stores
that the applicable Buyer is purchasing hereunder to not be true and correct in
all respects;

                          Either Buyer, as to it, may terminate this Agreement
by giving written notice to Sellers at any time prior to the Closing (A) in the
event Sellers have breached any material representation, warranty, or covenant
contained in this Agreement (in the case of any representation or warranty as
such statement relates to the Acquired Stores that the applicable Buyer is
purchasing hereunder) in any material respect, a Buyer has notified Sellers of
the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of ten (10)
days after the notice of breach, (B) upon the occurrence of a Material Adverse
Effect or Material Adverse Change applicable to the Acquired Stores that the
applicable Buyer is purchasing hereunder, or (C) if the Closing shall not have
occurred on or before November 20, 2004, by reason of the failure of any
condition precedent under Section 7(a) hereof (unless the failure results
primarily from a Buyer's breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant
contained in this Agreement);

                          Either Buyer, as to it, may terminate this Agreement
by giving written notice to Sellers at any time prior to Closing (A) in the
event Sellers have accepted or selected, and the Bankruptcy Court shall have
approved, the bid or bids (including a credit bid) of any Person or Persons
other than Buyers or any of their Affiliates to purchase all or a significant
portion of the businesses and assets of Sellers (whether or not any transaction
contemplated by any such bid or bids shall be consummated), or (B) if the Sale
Order shall not have been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or before October
25, 2004; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to this clause (B) shall not be available to such Buyer if such Buyer has failed
to perform its material obligations under Section 5(f) of this Agreement in all
material respects and such failure is then continuing;

                          Sellers may terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice to Buyers at any time prior to the Closing (A) in the event either Buyer
has breached any material representation, warranty, or covenant contained in
this Agreement in any material respect, Sellers have notified the applicable
Buyer of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of
ten (10) days after the notice of breach or (B) if the Closing shall not have
occurred on or before November 20, 2004, by reason of the failure of any
condition precedent under Section 7(b) hereof (unless the failure results
primarily from Sellers breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant
contained in this Agreement);

                          Sellers may terminate this Agreement by giving written
notice to Buyers at any time prior to Closing if the Sale Order shall not have
been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or before October 25, 2004; provided,
however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (vi)
shall not be available to Sellers if Sellers shall have failed to perform their
material obligations under Section 5(f) of this Agreement in all material
respects and such failure is then continuing; and

                          If Sellers receive a termination notice pursuant to
this Section 9(a) by either Buyer Group, Sellers may terminate this Agreement by
giving prior written notice to the other Buyer Group (in which case such
termination by Sellers shall be in respect of the entire agreement) five (5)
days in advance of the termination; provided, however, such termination shall
not be effective if, in the event such other Buyer Group is Tango, Tango, within
such five (5) day period, in writing explicitly expresses its intention to
purchase all the Purchased Assets, including the Purchased Assets relating to
the JBC Acquired Stores; provided, further, the preceding proviso, does not in
any way limit Tango's obligation to assume the obligations of the JBC Buyer
Group in accordance with Section 11.

                  Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9(a) above, the Deposit shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2(e)(iii), and all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall
terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party, except for any
liability of any Party then in breach; provided, however, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any such liability shall not exceed a dollar
amount equal to the amount of the Forfeiture Deposit; provided, further, that
the confidentiality provisions contained in Section 5(d) above shall survive
termination.

         Miscellaneous.

believe in good faith is required by applicable law (in which case they shall
use best efforts to advise Buyers prior to making such disclosure.

Buyer and Sellers' Representative. No waiver by any Party of any provision of
this Agreement or any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or
covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be valid unless the same

                  Appointment of Sellers' Representative as Attorney-in-Fact.
Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Sellers' Representative
and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
place and stead of such Seller and in the name of such Seller or in its own
name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any
and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Ancillary Agreements.

                  Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is

the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other
situation or in any other jurisdiction.

                  Expenses. Except as set forth in this Section 10(l), each of

negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed

arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of
the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or
foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The
word " including" shall mean including without limitation.

                  Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and
Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and
made a part hereof.

                  Cooperation on Tax Matters. Sellers shall (and shall cause
their respective Affiliates to) cooperate fully with Buyers and make available
or cause to be made available to Buyers for consultation, inspection and copying
(at Buyers' expense) in a timely fashion such personnel, Tax data, relevant Tax
Returns or portions thereof and filings, files, books, records, documents,
financial, technical and operating data, computer records and other information
as may be reasonably required (i) for the preparation by Buyers of any Tax
Returns or (ii) in connection with any Tax audit or proceeding to the extent
such Tax audit or proceeding relates to or arises from the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

                  Taxes Relating To Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities.

                          Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain an order which provides, in accordance with Section 1146(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code, for an exemption under any law imposing a use, transfer,
stamp or similar Tax on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                          Each Buyer shall be liable for and pay all Taxes
applicable to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities being acquired or
assumed by it that are attributable to taxable years or periods beginning on the
Closing Date and with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such
Straddle Period beginning on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Straddle Period" shall mean any taxable period beginning on, or before and
ending after the Closing Date.

                  Performance. Subject to a maximum aggregate liability equal to
the Forfeiture Deposit, each of D&B and Gemini will cause to be performed, and
hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations
set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any
member of its respective Buyer Party. Sellers' Representative will cause to be
performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and
obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be
performed by any Seller.

         Purchase of all Acquired Stores by D&B. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and agree that to the
extent that JBC is unable or unwilling to close or does not close on the
Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities relating to the JBC Acquired Stores,
Tango shall assume all obligations of the JBC Buyer Group under this Agreement
(and to the extent the Closing does not occur with respect to all the Purchased
Assets and Assumed Liabilities, then, in accordance with this Agreement, Sellers
shall be entitled to the Forfeiture Deposit).

                                      ****

                                ESCROW AGREEMENT

         This Escrow Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of September 23,
2004, is among (a) JILLIAN'S ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Jillian's"), (b) FROST BROWN TODD LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("FBT"), and (c) (1) TANGO ACQUISITION, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Tango") and (2) JBC ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation ("JBC") (Tango and JBC, collectively, the "Purchasers").

                                    RECITALS

         A. Jillian's and 47 of its direct and indirect subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Debtors") filed for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of
the United States Code (11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq.) in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Kentucky (the "Bankruptcy Court"),
which is being administered under Case No. 04-33192 in the Bankruptcy Court (the
"Bankruptcy Case").

         B. In connection with the Bankruptcy Case, the Bankruptcy Court has
approved the Debtors' Bidding Procedures, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit
A (the "Bidding Procedures").

         C. Certain of the Debtors, Tango, JBC, Dave & Buster's, Inc., a
Missouri corporation and Gemini Investors III, L.P. are entering into that
certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2004 (the "APA").

         D. In accordance with Section 2(e)(iii) of the APA, (1) Jillian's and
Tango have advised FBT that they will be wiring the current deposit held by
Union Bank of California, N.A., representing the Initial Earnest Money Deposit
(as defined in the APA) into the bank account described on Exhibit B (the
"Escrow Account"), (2) Jillian's and JBC have advised FBT that they will be
wiring the current deposit held by Union Bank of California, N.A., representing
the Initial Earnest Money Deposit (as defined in the APA) into the Escrow
Account, and (3) Jillian's and Tango have advised FBT that Tango will be wiring
$1,421,000 into the Escrow Account in accordance with the Asset Purchase
Agreement (such additional deposit, with the Initial Earnest Money Deposits
described in clauses (1) and 2) above, the "Escrow Deposit").

         E. The parties are entering into this Agreement to establish the rights
and obligations of the parties relative to the Escrow Deposit.

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

         1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Jillian's and the Purchasers appoint
FBT to serve as escrow agent, and FBT hereby accepts, under the terms of this
Agreement, such appointment and the agency created thereby. FBT shall hold the
Escrow Deposit in an escrow account at Bank One, NA in accordance with the
Bidding Procedures.


                                       1



         2. Terms; Effectiveness. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall
have the same meaning ascribed in or through the Bidding Procedures. The Bidding
Procedures and the Recitals hereto are hereby incorporated into this Agreement
and made an integral part hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon the
funding of any portion of the Escrow Deposit into the Escrow Account.

         3. Interest. So long as each of the Purchasers shall have provided FBT
with a signed Request for Taxpayer Identification and Certification on IRS Form
W-9 on or prior to the date upon which FBT receives the Escrow Deposit, the
funds representing the Escrow Deposit shall bear interest at the same rate paid
by Bank One, NA to FBT. By way of example and not limitation, if Bank One, NA
pays FBT 2.0% per annum on the Escrow Deposit, the funds representing the Escrow
Deposit shall bear interest at 2% per annum. The parties agree that for purposes
of calculating interest, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual
days elapsed after the date of deposit over an assumed year of 365 days.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Bidding Procedures,
if either of the Purchasers fails to provide FBT with a signed Request for
Taxpayer Identification and Certification on IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the
time FBT receives the Escrow Deposit, the Escrow Deposit shall bear no interest
and the Purchasers shall forfeit any right to interest.

         4. Disposition

                  a. Agreed Disposition. Upon receipt of a written request,
signed by representatives of Tango and JBC (a "Disposition Request") and
approved in writing by Jillian's, FBT shall promptly transfer the Escrow
Deposit, plus all interest earned thereon in accordance with the Disposition
Request.

                  b. Procedure Where Dispute. If a Disposition Request is not
approved by Jillian's, disposition of the Escrow Deposit, plus all interest
earned thereon, shall be determined by Final Order (as defined below) of the
Bankruptcy Court. "Final Order" shall mean an order of the Bankruptcy Court,
that has not been reversed, stayed, modified or amended, and is no longer
subject to appeal, certiorari proceeding or other proceeding for review,
reargument, or rehearing, and as to which no appeal, certiorari proceeding, or
other proceeding for review, reargument, or rehearing has been timely requested
or is then pending and the time to file any such appeal, certiorari proceeding
or other proceeding for review, reargument, or rehearing has expired or as to
which any right to appeal, petition for certiorari, reargue, or seek rehearing
shall have been waived in writing in form and substance satisfactory to the
Debtors.

         5. Termination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
with respect to the Escrow Deposit until such time as the entirety of the funds
representing the Escrow Deposit and any interest accrued thereon have been
withdrawn from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. Once
the Escrow Deposit and any interest accrued thereon have been disbursed, all of
the obligations of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall terminate.

         6. Escrow Agent.

                  a. Escrow Agent Obligations. The obligations and duties of FBT
are confined to those specifically enumerated in this Agreement. FBT shall not
be subject to, nor be under any obligation to ascertain or construe the terms
and conditions of, any other instrument, whether or not now or hereafter
deposited with or delivered to FBT or referred to in this Agreement, nor shall
FBT be obliged to inquire as to the form, execution, sufficiency or validity of
any such instrument or as to the identity, authority, or rights of the person or
persons executing or delivering the same. FBT shall not be a party to, or be
bound by, any agreement between the parties other than this Agreement whether or
not a copy and/or original of such agreement is held as part of the Escrow
Account or otherwise hereunder, and FBT shall have no duty to know or inquire as
to the performance of any provision of such agreement between the parties.

                  b. Escrow Agent Liability. FBT shall not be personally liable
for any act which it may do or omit to do hereunder in good faith and in the
exercise of its own best judgment. Any act


                                       2



reasonably done or omitted by FBT pursuant to the advice of its attorneys shall
be deemed conclusively to have been performed or omitted in good faith by FBT.
FBT shall not be responsible for any recitals of fact in this Agreement, for
collecting any property required to be deposited with it, for the sufficiency of
any Escrow Deposit, or for the identity, authority or rights of the persons
executing or delivering this Agreement.

                  c. Conflicts. If FBT should receive or become aware of any
conflicting demands or claims with respect to this Agreement (collectively
referred to hereinafter as "Dispute Notices") hereunder, or the rights of any of
the parties hereto, or any money, property, or instruments deposited herein or
affected hereby, FBT shall have the right in its sole discretion, without
liability for interest or damages, to discontinue any or all further acts on its
part until such conflict is resolved to its satisfaction and/or to commence or
defend any action or proceeding for the determination of such conflict. If any
disagreement or dispute arises between Jillian's and either of the Purchasers
concerning the meaning or validity of any provision of this Agreement or
concerning any other matter relating to this Agreement, including any matter
contained in any Dispute Notice, FBT may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
request that the Bankruptcy Court determine the matters set forth in the Dispute
Notice and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy
Court to determine such conflicts. Upon requesting that the Bankruptcy Court
make such a determination, FBT shall be relieved of all liability as to the
Escrow Deposit and any interest accrued thereon, other than to follow the order
of the Bankruptcy Court.

                  d. Indemnification of Escrow Agent. Jillian's, Tango and JBC
shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold FBT harmless from and against all
costs, damages, judgments, attorneys' fees (whether such attorneys shall be
regularly retained or specially employed), expenses, obligations and liabilities
of every kind and nature which FBT may incur, sustain or be required to pay in
connection with or arising out of this Agreement (except those arising out of
the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of FBT).

                  e. Court Orders. If any property subject hereto is at any time
attached, garnished, or levied upon under any Final Order, or in case the
payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall
be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in the case any Final Order,
judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such
property, or any part thereof, or any act by FBT, then and in any of such events
the FBT is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any
such Final Order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel
of its own choosing is binding upon it. In any such case, FBT shall provide
prompt notice of such events to all parties hereto.

                  f. Escrow Agent's Conduct. FBT shall be fully protected in
relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document which it in
good faith believes to be genuine, as to the truth and accuracy of the
statements made therein, the identity and authority of the persons executing the
same and the validity of any signature thereon.

                  g. New Escrow Agent. FBT may immediately resign upon written
notice to Jillian's and the Purchasers, whereupon FBT shall be discharged of any
further duties under this Agreement.

         7. Miscellaneous.

                  a. Successors, Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding on
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns, but will not be assignable or delegable by any party without the
prior written consent of the other parties. This Agreement shall be solely for
the benefit of the parties hereto.


                                       3



                  b. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction,
validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without giving effect to provisions
thereof regarding conflict of laws.

                  c. Jurisdiction; Venue. Any action or proceeding brought to
enforce any provision of, or with respect to any dispute arising under, this
Agreement shall be brought against a party only in the Bankruptcy Court and the
Bankruptcy Court shall be the exclusive venue for determining such action or
proceeding.

                  d. Amendments or Modification of Agreement. The terms of this
Agreement may be altered, amended, modified or revoked only in a writing signed
by all of the parties hereto.

                  e. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be construed as an original for all
purposes, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.

                  f. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to
any party hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic transmission,
facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (1)
