WHEREAS, the Company requires that the Seller and Paul enter into this Non-Competition Agreement as a condition to the Company entering into the Transaction; and

WHEREAS, to induce the Company to enter into the Stock Purchase Agreement and to complete the Transaction, the Seller and Paul each agree to enter into this Non-Competition Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the closing of the Transaction and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Seller and the Company agree as follows:

1.           Covenants.  For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (such five (5) year period being referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”), neither Seller nor Paul shall, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, lender, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director, investor, or financier or in any other individual or representative capacity, whether for compensation or not:

(a) Own or share in the earnings of, carry on, manage, operate, control, be engaged in, render services to, solicit customers for any business engaged in the operation of an establishment featuring live female nude or semi-nude entertainment within a twenty (20) mile radius of the Premises (the “Prohibited Area”); or

2.           Seller’s and Paul’s Acknowledgments and Agreements.  The Seller and Paul each acknowledge and agree that:

(a) Due to the nature of WKC’s and the Company’s business, the foregoing covenants place no greater restraint upon the Seller and Paul than is reasonably necessary to protect the business and goodwill of WKC and the Company;

(b) These covenants protect a legitimate interest of WKC and the Company and do not serve solely to limit WKC’s and the Company’s future competition;

(c) This Non-Competition Agreement is not an invalid or unreasonable restraint of trade;

(d) A breach of these covenants by the Seller or Paul would cause irreparable damage to WKC and the Company;

(e) These covenants will not preclude the Seller or Paul from obtaining reasonable business relationships or becoming gainfully employed following the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement;

(f) These covenants are reasonable in scope and are reasonably necessary to protect WKC’s and the Company’s business and goodwill and valuable and extensive trade which WKC and the Company have established through their own expense and effort;

(g) The signing of this Non-Competition Agreement is necessary as part of the consummation of the Transaction previously discussed; and

(h) The Seller and Paul have carefully read and considered all provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement and that all of the restrictions set forth are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interests of WKC and the Company.

3.           Remedies, Injunction.  In the event of the Seller’s or Paul’s actual breach of any provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement, the Seller and Paul each agree that WKC and the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and/or permanent injunction restraining and enjoining the Seller and/or Paul from violating the provisions herein.  Nothing in this Non-Competition Agreement shall be construed to prohibit WKC or the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Seller and/or Paul.  The Seller and Paul each further agrees that, for the purpose of any such injunction proceeding, it shall be presumed that WKC’s and the Company's legal remedies would be inadequate and that WKC and the Company would suffer irreparable harm as a result of the Seller’s or Paul’s violation of the provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement.

4.           Severability.  In the event that any of the provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement are held to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, those provisions to the extent enforceable and all other provisions shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included in this Non-Competition Agreement.  In the event that any provision relating to the time period or scope of a restriction shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or scope such court deems reasonable and enforceable, then the time period or scope of the restriction deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court shall become and shall thereafter be the maximum time period or the applicable scope of the restriction.  The Seller and Paul each further agree that such covenants and/or any portion thereof are severable, separate and independent, and should any specific restriction or the application thereof, to any person, firm, corporation, or situation be held to be invalid, that holding shall not affect the remainder of such provisions or covenants.

5.           General Provisions.
