Peregrine owns and operates an adult entertainment cabaret located in midtown Manhattan. The cabaret club is located near the Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden, and less than 10 blocks from Times Square. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides for closing the transaction on or before December 1, 2004, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining adequate financing, transfer of all existing licenses and permits to RCI New York, obtaining consent of the Landlord, execution of a Non-Disturbance Agreement, and other conditions consistent with transactions of this type. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the transaction is $7,625,000, payable $2,500,000 in cash at closing and $5,125,000 payable in a promissory note bearing simple interest at the rate of 4.0% per annum (the "Promissory Note"). The Promissory Note is payable commencing 120 days after Closing as follows: (a) the payment of $58,333.33 per month for twenty-four (24) consecutive months; (b) the payment of $63,333.33 for twenty-four (24) consecutive months; (c) the payment of $68,333.33 for twelve (12) consecutive months; and (d) a lump sum payment of the remaining balance to be paid on the sixty-first (61st) month. $2,000,000 of the principal amount of the Promissory Note is convertible into shares of our restricted common stock at prices ranging from $4.00 to $7.50 per share.
