Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 16, 2008, in connection with the Distribution (as defined and

(the "Consultant"), which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is
hereby incorporated by reference, as amended by the First Amendment to the
Professional Services Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2004, which amendment is
filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference
(collectively, the "Professional Services Agreement"), ceased to be in effect in
accordance with its terms and as more fully discussed below. Under the
Professional Services Agreement, the Consultant provided management and
consulting services (including, without limitation, management, finance,
marketing and strategic planning) to the Company and is affiliates in
consideration of a retention fee of $250,000 per annum.
Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill & Co., L.P. (the "Fund") is an affiliate of the
Consultant and, immediately prior to the Distribution (as defined below), was
the beneficial owner of approximately 26.8% of the outstanding shares of common
stock of Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (the "Registrant"). Two of the

Services Agreement remains in effect as long as the Fund holds, directly or
indirectly, the amount of the common stock of the Company or the Registrant
specified therein. Immediately following the Distribution, the Fund ceased to
hold any such common stock and, accordingly, the Professional Services Agreement
ceased to be in effect in accordance with it terms.
