(“JOY”) and North IH-35 Investments, Inc. (“NIII”), whereby RCI acquired 51% of the outstanding stock of JOY and 49% of the outstanding stock of NIII.  JOY is the owner and operator of the adult nightclub business known as “Joy of Austin” which leases and occupies the real property and improvements located at 3105 South IH 35, Round Rock, Texas 78664 (the “Property”).  NIII is the owner of the Property and leases the Property to JOY.  Contemporaneously with entry into the RCI Purchase Agreement, RCI and Karamalegos entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), whereby Karamalegos assigned to RCI his right to acquire the remaining 49% of the outstanding stock of JOY and the remaining 51% of the outstanding stock of NIII, which right Karamalegos obtained pursuant to a Purchase Agreement entered into between Karamalegos, Evangelos Polycrates (“Polycrates”), JOY and NIII (the “Polycrates Purchase Agreement”).  Pursuant to the RCI Purchase Agreement and the Assignment Agreement, RCI acquired and owns 100% of the outstanding stock of JOY and 100% of the outstanding stock of NIII.
