The Butler Agreement and the Projects Agreement are hereby

I. ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES

1.1 The Properties. JHF manages entertainment facilities in

shall transfer to Headliners all of their record and equity interest in the five

Project Owners other than JP 4th Street Line LLC ("Louisville"). Each of

the Transferors shall execute and deliver such documents as are necessary

to permit Headliners to assume control of the five Project Owners and to

own and operate the businesses carried on by the Projects, including, as

needed, assignments of leaseholds, liquor licenses, permits, and any other

rights, interests and privileges which may be impaired by the assignment of

ownership of a Project Owner. On the Initial Closing Date the Transferors

shall also be deemed to have assigned to Headliners the right to receive

the Net Cash Flow (as defined in Article III herein) of Louisville until

the earlier of (a) a Second Closing pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof or (b) a

termination of the assignment pursuant to Section 3.5.1.3 hereof.

1.3 Second Closing. On the Second Closing Date, the Transferors

Owners pursuant to Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 will vest in

Headliners all of the right, title and interest in the Project

Owners, free of liens, claims and encumbrances.

1.4.2 The Project Owners hold unencumbered title to the leaseholds

used by the Projects, and have full unencumbered right to the

revenues generated by the Projects.

1.5 Convertible Debenture. On the Initial Closing Date Headliners

will issue to JHF a convertible debenture in the principal amount of Five

Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and will issue to Butler a convertible

debenture in the principal amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand

Dollars ($4,500,000) (collectively, the "Convertible Debentures"). Each of

the Convertible Debentures will be in the form annexed hereto as Appendix

A. The Convertible Debentures, the Two Million Two Hundred Forty Thousand

Dollars ($2,240,000) previously paid by Headliners to JHF, and the other

undertakings by Headliners in this agreement will constitute the

consideration given for the Project Owners.

1.6 Registration Statement. As soon as practicable after the

Initial Closing Date, Headliners shall prepare and file with the Securities

and Exchange Commission a registration statement and such other documents,

including a prospectus, as may be necessary in the opinion of counsel for

Headliners in order to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, so

as to permit a public sale by JHF and Butler of the common shares issuable

upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures and the shares issued in June

2004 to JHF that are referenced in Section 2.2 of this agreement (the

"Registrable Shares"). In connection with the registration of the

Registrable Shares, Headliners covenants and agrees as follows:

a) Headliners will use its best efforts to cause the

registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable.

b) Until either (i) all of the Registrable Shares have been

sold or (ii) JHF and Butler will be able to sell all of the remaining

Registrable Shares in the public market without a prospectus

within a six month period, Headliners will file such amendments

to the registration statement as are necessary in order to

permit continued use of the prospectus.

c) Headliners acknowledges that JHF and Butler are unfamiliar

with the rules and procedures of the Securities and Exchange

Commission, and will rely on Headliners and its counsel for

compliance therewith.

1.7 Sale of Registrable Shares. Butler and JHF jointly agree that

the maximum number of Registrable Shares which they will sell is that

number of Registrable Shares that yields approximately $100,000 in net

proceeds per week, averaged over a four week period. Upon request (made no

more than once per month), Butler and JHF will account to Headliners for

all sales of Registrable Shares, showing dates of sale and net proceeds.

The parties agree that any material breach by Butler or JHF of the covenant

in this Section 1.7 will justify action by Headliners that will effect a

de-registration of the remaining Registrable Shares. Prior to taking any

action to effect a de-registration of the Registrable Shares, Headliners

will give Butler written notice of the breach and allow him fifteen days to

effect a cure.

offices of Headliners on a date fixed by Headliners in a Closing Notice

opening, including materials, labor, subcontractor invoices, and all

entities, independent of JHF, for the purpose of assuming JHF's

are performed by the principals and executives of JHF. Throughout this

Section III, any reference to JHF will include any assignee of JHF

permitted under this Section 3.3.

3.4 Bookkeeping, Banking and Finances.

bookkeeping and accounting staff and Headliners' independent accountants to

permit them to prepare financial statements of the Managed Projects in

accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, and to permit them

to deliver such statements to Headliners no less than three weeks prior to

each date on which Headliners is required to file consolidated financial

to in Section 3.2 above.

Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,300,000). JHF agrees that it

will sell the shares for up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) per

week, and shall deliver to Headliners copies of the confirmations of each

sale. Three days after JHF notifies Headliners that it has sold all of the

additional shares of Headliners common stock whose Market Value equals the

remainder of (i) $2,300,000 less (ii) the net proceeds of sales by JHF of

statement will be necessary to permit JHF to resell the shares to the

this Section 3.5.1 compensate JHF primarily for services that will be

rendered promptly after the Initial Closing Date, involving the

implementation of systems necessary in order for the Project Owners to

function as subsidiaries of a public company. For that reason, Headliners
