and Second Amendment, is true and correct on and as of the Effective Date as
though made as of the Effective Date, except to the extent such representations
and warranties relate solely to an earlier date. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) In lieu of reaffirming the representations and
warranties contained in Section 4.6 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers hereby
represent, warrant and covenant that Borrowers and their Subsidiaries do not
have any material liability or material contingent liability not reflected in
the financial statements contained in the Form 10-Q of The Sports Club Company,
Inc. filed with the SEC for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001 (the "March

their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since March 31, 2001.
(b) In lieu of reaffirming the representations and
warranties contained in Section 4.10 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers represent,
warrant and covenant that, except for (i) the matters set forth in Schedule 4.10
to the Loan Agreement, (ii) any matter fully covered as to subject matter and

the insurance carrier has not asserted lack of subject matter coverage or
reserved its right to do so, or (iii) any matter, or series of related matters,
involving a threatened claim against Borrowers of less than $100,000, there are
no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrowers,
threatened against or affecting Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any
Property of any of them in any court of Law or before any Governmental Agency
not reflected in the March 31, 2001 10-Q.
(c) In lieu of reaffirming the representations and
warranties contained in Section 4.12 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers represent,

warranties contained in Section 4.17 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers represent,
warrant and covenant that the financial projections dated April, 2001,
heretofore delivered to the
8
Agent are based on facts known to Borrowers and on assumptions that are
reasonable and consistent with such facts. To the best knowledge of Borrowers,
no material fact or assumption is omitted as a basis for such projections, and
such projections are reasonably based on such facts and assumptions. Nothing is
this Section (d) shall be construed as a representation that such projections in
fact will be achieved.
7. Waiver of Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. Effective as of
the Effective Date, the Agent and the Banks hereby waive the requirement that
the Borrowers comply with Section 6.15 of the Loan Agreement with respect to the

This waiver is strictly limited as provided above and shall not extend to any
fiscal quarter other than that ended September 30, 2000, December 31, 2000 and
March 31, 2001 or to any other matter or transaction, other than the express
waiver reflected in the immediately preceding sentence. Except for the matter
waived in that sentence or as otherwise amended by this Amendment, all terms an
conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
unchanged and remain in full force and effect. Each of the Agent and the Bank
reserve all of its powers, rights, remedies, claims, causes of action, defenses
and privileges under or in respect of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each of the Borrowers acknowledges that neither the consent reflected
in this Section 7 nor the Agent's or the Bank's present awareness of the
existence of any Default or Event of Default: (a) imposes any obligation on the
Agent or any Bank to defer the enforcement of its powers, rights, remedies,
claims, causes of action, defenses or privileges under the Loan Agreement or any
of the Loan Documents, such enforcement action to be taken in the sole
discretion of the Agent and/or the Banks, as the case may be, when it or they
determine that is appropriate to do so; or (b) shall affect or diminish any
Borrower's obligation to comply with any other term or provision of the Loan
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, taken
together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
