ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of The Sports Club Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("SCC"), whose principle executive offices are located at The Sports Company,
Inc., 11100 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 300, Los Angeles, California 90025.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
This statement is being filed by Millennium Partners LLC, a limited
liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
"Reporting Person").
The principal business of the Reporting Person is the development of
real estate projects. The principal business of Millennium Partners Management
LLC ("Management Co") is to act as manager of the Reporting Person and to manage
real estate projects developed by the Reporting Person.
The business address of each of the Reporting Person and Management Co
is:
c/o Millennium Partners Management LLC
1995 Broadway
New York, New York 10023
Attention: Brian J. Collins
Neither the Reporting Person nor Management Co has been, during the
last five years, (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violation of, prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or
State securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
The consideration for the purchase of the shares of Common Stock was
$5 million dollars in cash from the Reporting Person's general working capital.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The purpose of the purchase of shares of Common Stock was to make an
investment in the Common Stock of SCC. From time to time, the Reporting Person,
and/or its affiliates, may purchase additional shares of Common Stock in the
market or otherwise.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement dated March 13, 1997, as amended by
the Letter Agreement dated June 10, 1997 (as so amended, the "Letter Agreement")
by and between Millennium Entertainment Partners, L.P. ("MEP") and SCC, MEP
agreed to purchase an aggregate of 2,105,263 shares of Common Stock of SCC.
Pursuant to the Agreement of Transfer dated as of June 20, 1997 between the
Reporting Person and MEP (the "Transfer Agreement"), simultaneous with its
acquisition of the Common Stock of SCC, MEP assigned to the Reporting Person
1,052,632 shares of Common Stock of SCC in exchange for $5 million in cash
payable at the direction of MEP. The Reporting Person has been informed that MEP
is filing a Schedule 13D in respect of such shares.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, MEP has the right to cause SCC to
register on a single occasion under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), as many of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting
Person that MEP shall elect. This right of MEP shall terminate upon the earlier
of March 13, 1999 or the date when shares owned by the Reporting Person may be
sold pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act. Also, MEP has the right to cause SCC to include in any registration of
securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration of shares
relating to an employee benefit plan or a transaction pursuant to Rule 145 under
the Securities Act) effected by SCC such number of shares as MEP shall request,
subject to underwriter cutbacks.
In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, for so long as MEP
shall have at least a 10% interest in Equity Securities (as defined in the
Letter Agreement) of SCC, if SCC shall issue any additional Equity Securities,
MEP shall have the right to purchase, at a price equal to the proposed offering
price, an amount of such Equity Securities so that MEP may maintain its current
ownership percentage of Equity Securities.
On June 24, 1997, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, a designee of MEP
was appointed as a Class 2 Director of SCC and so long as MEP maintains at least
a 12% interest in the Equity Securities of SCC: (i) upon the expiration of the
term of such designee, SCC shall include and support a designee of MEP as one of
management's nominees for the Board of Directors, and (ii) upon the termination
of such designee's services as a director other than upon the expiration of term
of office, SCC shall appoint in his place a replacement designee of MEP. In
addition, two principals of SCC agree to vote Equity Securities which they own
(or with respect to which they have the power to direct the vote) in an amount
sufficient to elect such designee of MEP to the Board of Directors of SCC.
Brian J. Collins became a Director of SCC on June 24, 1997. Under
Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the business of the SCC is
to be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. While the
Board of Directors of SCC, and Mr. Collins as a Director, may from time to time
consider matters of a nature similar to one or more of the actions enumerated
under Item 4 of Schedule 13D, there exist at this time no plans or proposals
which require disclosure pursuant thereto.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
As of June 27, 1997, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 1,052,632
shares of Common Stock of SCC (excluding the shares of MPI described below),
constituting 7.82% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. As of June 27,
1997, Management Co beneficially owned 0 shares of Common Stock of SCC. The
Operating Agreement of the Reporting Person (the "Operating Agreement") does not
give Management Co, as manager of the Reporting Person, the right to vote or
dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person.
The Reporting Person has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose
of all 1,052,632 shares of Common Stock of SCC. Under the Operating Agreement,
Management Co does not have shared power to vote or to dispose of any shares of
Common Stock of SCC owned by the Reporting Person.
There were no transactions within the last sixty days other than the
purchase effected by the Reporting Person pursuant to the Letter Agreement by
either the Reporting Person or Management Co with respect to the Common Stock of
SCC.
MEP, which has purchased 1,052,631 shares of Common Stock of SCC
pursuant to the Letter Agreement, owns a 49.5% membership interest in the
Reporting Person. However, under the Operating Agreement, MEP does not have the
power to vote or the power to dispose of the Common Stock of SCC owned by the
Reporting Person.
The Reporting Person has been advised that as of June 27, 1997
Millennium Partners I, Inc. has purchased 146,300 shares of Common Stock of SCC.
These purchases were effected as follows:

These purchases were made in the open market, except for the purchase
of 10,000 shares on May 8, 1997 which were sold directly by the seller to MPI.
MPI has informed the Reporting Person that it intends to sell all such
shares of Common Stock of SCC to the Reporting Person and the Reporting Person
intends to purchase all such shares of Common Stock of SCC from MPI. Therefore,
these purchases have been included in the number of shares of Common Stock of
SCC beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

Subsidiary have all governmental consents, licenses, approvals, permits or
authorizations and all other rights required for the operation of its business,

the best knowledge of SCC, threatened, any action, suit, ruling, order, decree,
judgment, stipulation or legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceeding

Material", as defined below, is or will be present on any SCC or Subsidiary

"prohibited transaction" within the meaning of Section 406(a) of ERISA, and no
"reportable event" within the meaning of Section 4043(b) of ERISA, has occurred
with respect to any employee benefit plan of SCC or any Subsidiary; all employee
benefit plans have been established and operated in full compliance with all
Requirements of Law.
(m) SCC and the Subsidiaries have filed all income tax returns which
are required to be filed, and have paid, or made provision for the payment of,
all taxes which have become due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any
assessment received by SCC or any Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are
being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been
provided.
(n) Neither this Agreement nor any exhibit hereto nor any certificate,
document, writing or other instrument furnished to Millennium by SCC in
connection with this Agreement contained or will contain any untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the

Act, or pursuant to Rule 144 or another valid exemption from the registration
requirements of the Act as established by an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to SCC.
(f) Millennium is familiar with, and its representatives prior to
Closing will have been given full access by SCC to, all information concerning
the business and financial condition, properties, operations and prospects of
SCC that Millennium has deemed relevant for purposes of making the investment
contemplated by this Agreement. By reason of Millennium's knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters in general, the business of SCC and
investments of the type contemplated by this Agreement in particular, Millennium
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of making the investment in the
Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of the investment (including a
complete loss of its investment in the Shares).

(b) No order, injunction, decree or other action or legal,

7. REGISTRATION OF THE SHARES.
(a) Until the earlier of the second anniversary of the Closing Date
and the date Millennium shall become entitled to sell the Shares pursuant to
subsection (k) of Rule 144, Millennium shall have the right to require SCC to
file with the SEC, at SCC's sole cost and expense, on no more than one occasion,
a registration statement on Form S-3 (or such other form as the SEC may from
time to time prescribe for such purposes) covering as many of the Shares as
Millennium elects to include therein (the "Millennium Registration Statement")
and to cause the Millennium Registration Statement to be declared effective by
the SEC within 90 days thereafter and to maintain the effectiveness of the
Millennium Registration Statement and (iii) the date Millennium shall become
entitled to sell the Shares pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144; in the event
SCC proposes to register an underwritten offering of its Common Stock for its
own account under the Act, it shall have the right to delay or suspend the
filing or effectiveness of the Millennium Registration Statement for up to an
aggregate of 104 days in any 12-month period to facilitate such registration. If
Millennium proposes to effect an underwritten offering, SCC shall enter into an
Underwriting Agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected
by Millennium.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material development
in the business of SCC, SCC shall advise Millennium of such event and Millennium
shall cease using the prospectus included in the Millennium Registration
Statement until forty-eight (48) hours following the public disclosure of such
event. SCC shall promptly disclose all such material developments provided that
it shall be entitled to delay such disclosure for a reasonable period of
time for valid business purposes, not to exceed five (5) business days without
the consent of Millennium, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) If, at any time or from time to time, SCC determines to register
any of its securities for its own account or the account of any other
shareholder, other than a registration relating to employee benefit plans (or
the resale of securities acquired pursuant thereto) or a transaction pursuant to
Rule 145 of the SEC, SCC shall include in such registration such number of the
Shares as Millennium shall request in writing within ten (10) business days
following receipt of notice of such registration, provided that, if such
registration is underwritten, it shall be a condition that Millennium
participate in such underwriting and enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the managing underwriter selected by SCC. If the managing
underwriter determines that market forces require limitation of the number of
shares to be underwritten, the number of Shares owned by Millennium to be
included in the registration may be limited or eliminated, provided that,
Millennium shall be treated on at least a pari passu basis with all other
shareholders participating in such registration.
(c) All registration expenses in connection with the registrations
contemplated by this Paragraph 7 shall be borne by SCC, but all selling expenses
of Millennium (including broker fees, underwriting commissions and the cost of
any special legal counsel representing Millennium) shall be borne by Millennium.
In connection with any such registration statement, Millennium shall promptly
furnish SCC with such written representations, information and consents
regarding Millennium, the Shares and the intended method of distribution of the
Shares as shall be necessary for inclusion in the Registration Statement.
8. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF SCC.
(a) For so long as Millennium maintains at least a 10% interest in the
Equity Securities of SCC, in the event SCC determines to issue additional Equity
Securities, SCC shall so inform Millennium, and Millennium shall have the right,
exercisable within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice from SCC, to
purchase, at a price per share equal to the purchase price at which such Equity
Securities are proposed to be offered by SCC, a percentage of such Equity
Securities equal to Millennium's then current percentage ownership interest in
SCC. The foregoing rights shall not apply to an issuance of Equity Securities
(i) pursuant to SCC's 1994 Stock Incentive Plan and 1994 Stock Compensation Plan
(in amounts currently authorized under said plans or in such additional amounts
as may be approved in writing by Millennium), (ii) in a stock-for-stock exchange
in which SCC acquires control of another entity, or (iii) as consideration for
the purchase of another business or assets to be utilized in SCC's business.
(b) At the Closing, a designee of Millennium shall be appointed as a
Class 2 Director of the Board of Directors of SCC, and so long as Millennium
maintains at least a 12% interest in the Equity Securities of SCC: (i) upon the
expiration of the term of such designee, SCC shall include and support a
designee of Millennium as part of management's nominees for Directors, and (ii)
upon the termination of such designee's services as a director other than upon
the expiration of term of office, SCC shall appoint in the place of such
director a replacement designee of Millennium. In addition, D. Michael Talla and
Rex A. Licklider agree to vote Equity Securities which they own (or with respect
to which they have the power to direct the vote) in an amount sufficient to
elect such designee of Millennium to the Board of Directors of SCC.
c) SCC shall cause the Shares to be listed on the American Stock
Exchange.
(d) Prior to the Closing, officers of SCC and the Subsidiaries with
responsibility for financial and business affairs have been and will continue to
be available to answer inquiries from Millennium, its officers and agents, and
Millennium shall be given reasonable access to all facilities of SCC and the
Subsidiaries.
9. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF MILLENNIUM. For a period of two years
following the Closing, SCC shall have a right of first refusal to acquire,
within ten (10) days of its receiving written notice from Millennium of a bona
fide offer from a third party, all (but not less than all) of the Shares and
other Equity Securities owned by Millennium to which such bona fide third party
offer shall relate, at a price per share equal to the purchase price offered by
such third party; provided that such right shall not apply to sales of Shares in
a "broker's transaction" within the meaning of Rule 144. In addition, during
such period, Millennium shall not, directly or indirectly, during any fiscal
quarter, knowingly transfer to a purchaser, in one or a series of transactions,
Shares constituting more than one percent of the outstanding Equity Securities
Stock of SCC. For purposes of this Paragraph, a purchaser and all Affiliates of
such purchaser (as defined in Paragraph 12(e)) shall be considered a single
purchaser.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as required by law or with the consent of
the other party, neither party hereto shall disclose to any third party the
terms hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby except to its employees,
partners, investors, prospective investors, lenders and agents; provided that,
such persons are required to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
11. BROKERS AND FINDERS. Neither Millennium nor SCC, nor any person
acting on behalf of either of them, has employed any broker, agent or finder, or
incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, agents' commissions, finders'
fees or advisory fees in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;
and SCC shall indemnify and hold Millennium harmless in respect of any "Damages"
(as defined in Paragraph 12(f) hereof) arising to of any agreements,
arrangements or understandings claimed to have been made by SCC, or any person
acting on its behalf, with any third party; and Millennium shall indemnify and
hold SCC harmless in respect of any Damages arising out of any agreements,
arrangements or understandings claimed to have been made by Millennium, or any
person acting on its behalf, with any third party.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) SCC shall indemnify Millennium and/or its "Affiliates" (as
hereinafter defined) (the "Millennium Indemnified Parties" and each individually
a "Millennium Indemnified Party") against, and shall hold the Millennium
Indemnified Parties harmless from, and defend the millennium Indemnified
Patriots against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Millennium
Indemnified Parties arising out of (a) any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or
omission in any representation or warranty, or any breach of any warranty,
covenant or agreement made or to be performed by SCC, or (b) the MEP Assigned
interests and accruing from and after the Closing Date. Promptly after receipt
by a Millennium Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action,
such party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against SCC under
this Paragraph 12, notify SCC in writing of the commencement thereof. In case
any such action is brought against any Millennium Indemnified Party and such
Millennium Indemnified Party notifies SCC of the commencement thereof, SCC will
be entitled to participate therein.
(b) Millennium hereby indemnifies SCC and/or their Affiliates (the
"SCC Indemnified Parties" and each individually a "SCC Indemnified Party")
against, and shall hold the SCC Indemnified Parties harmless from, and defend
the SCC Indemnified Parties against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by
the SCC Indemnified Parities arising out of (a) the MEP Assigned Interests and
accruing prior to the Closing Date (excluding, however, losses attributable to
the diminution in the value of the MEP Assigned Interests), or (b) any
misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission in any representation or warranty, or
any breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by
Millennium. Promptly after receipt by a SCC Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action, such party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against Millennium under this Paragraph 12, notify Millennium in writing
of the commencement thereof. In case any such action is brought against a SCC
Indemnified Party and such SCC Indemnified Party notifies Millennium of the
commencement thereof, Millennium will be entitled to participate therein.
(c) In order for a party (the "Indemnified Party") to be entitled to
any indemnification provided for under this Agreement arising out of involving a
claim or demand made by any person against the indemnified party (a "Third
Party"), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the
"Indemnified Party") in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party
Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such Indemnified Party
of written notice of the Third Party Claim, and shall deliver to the
Indemnifying Party, within fifteen business days after the Indemnified Party's
receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers)
received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim; provided,
however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the
indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party
shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(d) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof
(provided no actual or potential conflict of interest exists with respect to
such assumption) and, if it so chooses and acknowledges its obligation to
indemnify the Indemnified Party therefor, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party. Should the Indemnifying party so elect to assume the defense
of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the
Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified
Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at
its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party,
it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and
expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during
which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof. If the
Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, all the parties
thereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation
shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party's request) the
provision to the Indemnifying Party of the non-privileged records and
information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim (it being
understood that the Indemnified Party shall supply privileged and non-privileged
records to counsel for the Indemnifying Party, to the extent the Indemnifying
Party's counsel has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim), and making
employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional
information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not
the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim,
the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle,
compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party's
prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If, by
reason of any Third Party Claim as to which there exists an obligation to
indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder, a lien, attachment, garnishment or
execution is placed upon any of the property or assets of any Indemnified Party.
The Indemnifying Party shall also, promptly upon demand, furnish an indemnity
bond or take other actions satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to obtain the
prompt release of such lien, attachment, garnishment or execution. If any
judgment or arbitration award is issued or affirmed in respect of any Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy such judgment or award within
30 days of the date it is rendered, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith
takes all necessary actions to appeal such judgment or award, including posting
any necessary bond and taking all other actions required in connection with such
appeal on a timely basis.
(e) As used herein the term "Affiliate" means, with respect to any
person: (i) any person who is an "affiliate" of such person as defined in Rule
12b-2 of the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii)
any family member of such person, and (iii) any person who is a director,
officer or partner or holds a similar position with such entity or any entity in
which such person has a 10% or greater equity or profit interest.
(f) As used herein the term "Damages" means any and all claims,
actions, demands, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, damages and recoveries
to the full amount of the actual damage occasioned by each deficiency,
misrepresentation, inaccuracy, omission or breach, in each case including
interest, penalties or other damages (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating or in attempting to avoid the same or oppose the imposition
thereof or of enforcing this indemnity).
13. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations,
warranties and agreements made by SCC and Millennium in this Agreement or in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
Closing and any investigation and discovery by SCC or by Millennium, as the case
may be, made at any time with respect thereto; provided, however, that neither
Millennium nor SCC shall have any liability to the other for any
misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission in any representation or warranty, or
any breach of any representation or warranty, unless the party asserting a claim
with respect to any thereof gives to the other written notice of such claim on
or before the date which is one (1) year following the Closing Date.
14. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) SCC and Millennium hereby covenant and agree to use their
respective best efforts to perform each of their obligations hereunder, to
deliver all certificates and to satisfy all other conditions set forth in this
Agreement and to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the
Closing Date.
(b) This Agreement is executed by, and shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of, the parties hereto and each of their respective successors
and assigns, provided that neither this Agreement nor any right pursuant hereto
nor interest herein shall be assignable by either party hereto without the prior
written consent of the other party hereto, except as expressly permitted herein,
provided that all rights hereunder may be assigned to an Affiliate of Millennium
that is controlled by Christopher M. Jeffries or jointly controlled by
Christopher M. Jeffries and Goldman Sachs & Co (or its Affiliates); except for
such permitted assigns, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for
the benefit of or enforceable by any other person.
(c) This Agreement shall serve as SCC's application to be admitted to
the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner, which admission shall be
deemed effective upon the Closing Date.
(d) All Notices given hereunder shall be made in the manner specified
in the Partnership Agreement to the addresses set forth on the first page
hereof.
(e) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and
each such counterpart will for all purposes be deemed an original, and all such
counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(f) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts
entered into and to be wholly performed therein.
(g) If either party should institute any action to enforce or
interpret any term or provision of this Agreement, the party prevailing in such
action shall be entitled to its attorneys' fees, out-of-pocket disbursements and
all other expenses from the non-prevailing party in such action.
(h) This Agreement (together with all Exhibits and Schedules hereto)
constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous written and oral negotiations, discussions, agreements and
understandings with respect to such subject matter.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 7(a) hereof, each party
shall bear its own costs in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(j) Each of Millennium and SCC have participated in the negotiation
and drafting of this Agreement. Accordingly, each of the parties hereby waives
any statutory provision, judicial precedent or other rule of law to the effect
that contractual ambiguities are to be construed against the party who shall
have drafted the same.
(k) This Agreement may be terminated by either party if the Closing
does not occur on or before April 15, 1997.
