of the requested Advance and the amount thereof. Except as set forth in Section

applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Bank shall disburse the

the Borrower may from time to time agree. The Borrower shall promptly confirm

SECTION 2.4 INTEREST ON NOTE.

                  (a) Floating Rate Advances. Unless the Borrower elects a LIBO
         Rate pursuant to this Section, the principal balance of the Note shall
         bear interest at the Floating Rate.

                  (b) LIBO Rate Advances. So long as no Default or Event of
         Default exists, the Borrower may request that a portion of any
         requested Advance constitute a LIBO Rate Advance, or may convert all or
         any part of any outstanding Floating Rate Advance into a LIBO Rate
         Advance, or may request that a LIBO Rate Advance be converted at the
         end of

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 10 -
<PAGE>

         the applicable Interest Period to another LIBO Rate Advance. When the
         Borrower requests an Advance or wishes to convert a Floating Rate

         end of the applicable Interest Period to another LIBO Rate Advance, the
         Borrower shall give the Bank notice specifying: (i) the date of the
         Advance or conversion, (ii) the Interest Period selected by Borrower;

         given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day the Advance is to
         be made or converted. If the Borrower does not immediately accept a
         LIBO Rate when quoted by the Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any
         subsequent request shall be subject to a redetermination by the Bank of
         the applicable LIBO Rate. If no specific designation of interest is
         made at the time any Advance is requested, the Borrower shall be deemed
         to have requested a Floating Rate Advance. Subject to the terms and
         conditions hereof, the principal amount specified by the Borrower in
         the applicable request for a LIBO Rate Advance shall bear interest from
         and including the first day of the Interest Period specified therein to
         but not including the last day of such Interest Period, at the LIBO
         Rate applicable thereto, determined as set forth herein, (subject to
         fluctuations in the applicable Margin). Unless the Borrower requests a
         new LIBO Rate Advance in accordance with the procedures set forth
         above, or prepays the principal of an outstanding LIBO Rate Advance at
         the expiration of an Interest Period, the Bank shall automatically and
         without request of the Borrower convert each LIBO Rate Advance to a
         Floating Rate Advance on the last day of the relevant Interest Period.

                  (c) Limitations on LIBO Rate Advances. In no event shall more
         than four LIBO Rate Advances be outstanding at any one time.

                  (d) Margins. The Margin through and including the first
         adjustment occurring as specified below shall be two and three-quarters
         percent (2.75%) with respect to LIBO Rate Advances. The Margin shall be

         of the calendar quarter following receipt of the Borrower's financial
         statements and quarterly Compliance Certificates required under Section
         5.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Borrower fails to
         deliver any financial statements or Compliance Certificates when

         of the Note shall bear interest, until paid in full, at the Default

         waiver or excuse of any such Default or Event of Default.

permanently reduce the Facility Amount in part, provided that (i) each partial
reduction shall be in the amount of $500,000 or a multiple thereof, and (ii) no
reduction shall reduce the Facility Amount to an amount less than the principal
balance of the Note outstanding at the time.

SECTION 2.10 PAYMENTS.

                  (a) Making of Payments. All payments of principal of and
         interest due under the Note shall be made to the Bank at its office in
         Minneapolis, Minnesota, not later than 12:00 noon on the date due, in
         immediately available funds, and funds received after that hour shall
         be deemed to have been received by the Bank on the next following
         Business Day. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to charge the
         Borrower's demand deposit account maintained with the Bank for the
         amount of any such payment on its due date, or (at the option of the
         Bank) to make an Advance in such amount, all without receipt of any
         request for such charge or Advance, but the Bank's failure to so charge
         such account or make such Advance shall in no way affect the obligation
         of the Borrower to make any such payment.

                  (b) Setoff. The Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have all
         rights of setoff and bankers' lien provided by applicable law, and in
         addition thereto, the Borrower agrees that if at any time any amount is
         due and owing by the Borrower under this Agreement to the Bank at a
         time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,
         the Bank may apply any and all balances, credits, and deposits,
         accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter in the possession
         of the Bank

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 13 -
<PAGE>

         (excluding, however, any trust or escrow accounts held by the Borrower
         for the benefit of any third party) to the payment thereof.

                  (c) Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal of or
         interest on any Floating Rate Advance or any fees payable hereunder
         falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date
         shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and (in the case
         of principal) additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the
         period of such extension.

                  (d) Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided
         herein, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
         continuing hereunder, each payment received from the Borrower shall be
         applied to such obligation as the Borrower shall specify by notice
         received by the Bank on or before the date of such payment, or in the
         absence of such notice, as the Bank shall determine in its discretion.
         Except as otherwise provided herein, after the occurrence of a Default
         or Event of Default, the Bank shall have the right to apply all
         payments received by the Bank from the Borrower as the Bank may
         determine in its discretion. The Borrower agrees that the amount shown
         on the books and records of the Bank as being the principal balance of
         and interest on the Note shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

SECTION 2.11 INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY; ADVANCE EXCEPTIONS.

                  (a) Increased Costs on LIBO Rate Advances. If Regulation D of
         the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or after the date
         of this Agreement the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
         regulation, or any change in any existing law, or any change in the
         interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
         central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
         administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any request or
         directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
         authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall:

                  (i)      subject the Bank to or cause the withdrawal or
                           termination of any exemption previously granted to
                           the Bank with respect to, any tax, duty or other
                           charge with respect to its LIBO Rate Advances or its
                           obligation to make LIBO Rate Advances, or shall
                           change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank
                           of the principal of or interest under this Agreement
                           in respect of its LIBO Rate Advances or its
                           obligation to make LIBO Rate Advances (except for
                           changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income
                           of the Bank imposed by the jurisdictions in which the
                           Bank's principal executive office is located); or

                  (ii)     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
                           (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed
                           by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
                           System, but excluding any reserve included in the
                           determination of interest rates pursuant to Section
                           2.4), special deposit

                           or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
                           with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
                           the Bank; or

                  (iii)    impose on the Bank any other condition affecting its
                           making, maintaining or Advance of its LIBO Rate
                           Advances or its obligation to make LIBO Rate
                           Advances;

         and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
         Bank of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Advance, or to reduce the
         amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this
         Agreement or under its Note with respect to a LIBO Rate Advance, then
         the Bank will notify the Borrower of such increased cost and within
         fifteen (15) days after demand by the Bank (which demand shall be
         accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand and
         representing that the Bank has made similar demand on one or more other
         commercial borrowers with revolving or term loans in excess of
         $500,000) the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or
         amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or such
         reduction; provided, however, that no such increased cost or such
         reduction shall be payable by the Borrower for any period longer than
         ninety (90) days prior to the date on which notice thereof is delivered
         to the Borrower. The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of any
         event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which
         will entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11. If
         the Borrower receives notice from the Bank of any event which will
         entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11, the
         Borrower may prepay any then outstanding LIBO Rate Advances or notify
         the Bank that any pending request for a LIBO Rate Advance shall be
         deemed to be a request for a Floating Rate Advance, in each case
         subject to the provisions of Section 2.12.

                  (b) Capital Adequacy. If the Bank determines at any time that
         its Return has been reduced as a result of any Capital Adequacy Rule
         Change, the Bank may require the Borrower to pay it the amount
         necessary to restore the Bank's Return to what it would have been had
         there been no Capital Adequacy Rule Change. For purposes of this
         Section 2.11, the following definitions shall apply:

                  (i)      "Bank" includes (but is not limited to) the Bank, as
                           defined elsewhere in this Agreement, and any assignee
                           of any interest of the Bank hereunder and any
                           participant in the loans made hereunder.

                  (ii)     "Capital Adequacy Rule" means any law, rule,
                           regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy
                           that applies to the Bank, or the interpretation
                           thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority.
                           Capital Adequacy Rules include rules requiring
                           financial institutions to maintain total capital in
                           amounts based upon percentages of outstanding loans,
                           binding loan commitments.

                  (iii)    "Capital Adequacy Rule Change" means any change in
                           any Capital Adequacy Rule occurring after the date of
                           this Agreement, but does not

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 15 -
<PAGE>

                           include any changes in applicable requirements that
                           at the date hereof are scheduled to take place under
                           the existing Capital Adequacy Rules or any increases
                           in the capital that the Bank is required to maintain
                           to the extent that the increases are required due to
                           a regulatory authority's assessment of the Bank's
                           financial condition.

                  (iv)     "Return", for any calendar quarter or shorter period,
                           means the percentage determined by dividing (A) the
                           sum of interest and ongoing fees earned by the Bank
                           under this Agreement during such period by (B) the
                           average capital the Bank is required to maintain
                           during such period as a result of its being a party
                           to this Agreement, as determined by the Bank based
                           upon its total capital requirements and a reasonable
                           attribution formula that takes account of the Capital
                           Adequacy Rules then in effect. Return may be
                           calculated for each calendar quarter and for the
                           shorter period between the end of a calendar quarter
                           and the date of termination in whole of this
                           Agreement.

         The initial notice sent by the Bank shall be sent as promptly as
         practicable after the Bank learns that its Return has been reduced,
         shall include a demand for payment of the amount necessary to restore
         the Bank's Return for the quarter in which the notice is sent, shall
         state in reasonable detail the cause for the reduction in the Bank's
         Return and the Bank's calculation of the amount of such reduction, and
         shall include the Bank's representation that it has made similar demand
         on one or more other commercial borrowers with revolving or term loans
         in excess of $500,000. Thereafter, the Bank may send a new notice
         during each calendar quarter setting forth the calculation of the
         reduced Return for that quarter and including a demand for payment of
         the amount necessary to restore the Bank's Return for that quarter. The
         Bank's calculation in any such notice shall be conclusive and binding
         absent demonstrable error.

                  (c) Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.
         If with respect to any Interest Period:

                  (i)      the Bank determines that deposits in U.S. dollars (in
                           the applicable amounts) are not being offered in the
                           London interbank eurodollar market for such Interest
                           Period; or

                  (ii)     the Bank otherwise determines that by reason of
                           circumstances affecting the London interbank
                           eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do
                           not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate;
                           or

                  (iii)    the Bank determines that the LIBO Rate as determined
                           by the Bank will not adequately and fairly reflect
                           the cost to the Bank of maintaining or Advance a LIBO
                           Rate Advance for such Interest Period, or that the
                           making or Advance of LIBO Rate Advances has become

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 16 -
<PAGE>

                           impracticable as a result of an event occurring after
                           the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of
                           the Bank materially affects such LIBO Rate Advances;

         then the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and (A) upon the
         occurrence of any event described in the foregoing clause (i) the
         Borrower shall enter into good faith negotiations with the Bank in
         order to determine an alternate method to determine the LIBO Rate for
         the Bank, and during the pendency of such negotiations with the Bank,
         the Bank shall be under no obligation to make any new LIBO Rate
         Advances, and (B) upon the occurrence of any event described in the
         foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii), for so long as such circumstances
         shall continue, the Bank shall be under no obligation to make any new
         LIBO Rate Advances.

                  (d) Illegality. If any change in (including the adoption of
         any new) applicable laws or regulations, or any change in the
         interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any governmental
         authority, central bank, comparable agency or any other regulatory body
         charged with the interpretation, implementation or administration
         thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive
         (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central
         bank, comparable agency or other regulatory body, should make it or, in
         the good faith judgment of the Bank, shall raise a substantial question
         as to whether it is unlawful for the Bank to make, maintain or fund
         LIBO Rate Advances, then (i) the Bank shall promptly notify the
         Borrower, (ii) the obligation of the Bank to make, maintain or convert
         into LIBO Rate Advances shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be
         suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness, and (iii) for the
         duration of such unlawfulness, any notice by the Borrower requesting
         the Bank to make or convert into LIBO Rate Advances shall be construed
         as a request to make or to continue making Floating Rate Advances.

SECTION 2.12 ADVANCE LOSSES.

Upon demand by the Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed), the
Borrower shall indemnify the Bank against any loss or expense which the Bank may
have sustained or incurred (including, without limitation, any net loss or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by the Bank to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances) or
which the Bank may be deemed to have sustained or incurred, as reasonably
determined by the Bank, (i) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to
make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with any
LIBO Rate Advances, (ii) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow or convert
any LIBO Rate Advances on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof or (iii)
due to any payment or prepayment of any LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than
the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such LIBO Rate Advance. For
this purpose, all notices under Section 2.4(b) shall be deemed to be
irrevocable.

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 17 -
<PAGE>

SECTION 2.13 DISCRETION OF BANK AS TO MANNER OF ADVANCE.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall
be entitled to fund and maintain all or any part of its LIBO Rate Advances in
any manner it deems fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of
this Agreement (specifically including, without limitation, Section 2.12 hereof)
all determinations hereunder shall be made as if the Bank had actually funded
and maintained each LIBO Rate Advance during each Interest Period for such LIBO
Rate Advance through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to
such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the appropriate LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period.

SECTION 2.14 CONCLUSIVENESS OF STATEMENTS; SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS.

Determinations and statements of the Bank pursuant to Section 2.11 and 2.12
shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Borrower shall have no right to review any records of the
Bank or its other customers to determine the accuracy of any statement by the
Bank under Section 2.11(a) or 2.11(b) regarding the Bank's demands upon other
customers of the Bank. The Bank may use reasonable averaging and attribution
methods in determining compensation pursuant to such Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and
the provisions of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 shall survive termination of this
Agreement.

SECTION 2.15 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES.

Interest under the Note and the fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of
actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

                                   ARTICLE III
                              CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

SECTION 3.1 CONDITION PRECEDENT TO MAKING INITIAL ADVANCE.

The obligation of the Bank to make the initial Advance is subject to the
condition precedent that the Bank shall have received on or before the day of
such Advance all of the following, each dated (unless otherwise indicated) as of
the date hereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank:

                  (a) The Note, properly executed on behalf of the Borrower.

                  (b) The Security Agreement, properly executed on behalf of the
         Borrower.

                  (c) A financing statement or statements sufficient when filed
         to perfect the security interests granted under the Security Agreement
         to the extent such security interests are capable of being perfected by
         filing.

                  (d) Current searches of appropriate filing offices showing
         that (i) no state or federal tax liens have been filed and remain in
         effect against the Borrower or any

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 18 -
<PAGE>

         Subsidiary, and (ii) no financing statements have been filed and remain
         in effect against the Borrower or any Subsidiary except financing
         statements perfecting only Permitted Liens.

                  (e) A certificate of the secretary of the Borrower (i)
         certifying that the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
         Documents and other documents contemplated hereunder to which it is a
         party have been duly approved by all necessary action of the Board of
         Directors of the Borrower and attaching true and correct copies of the
         applicable resolutions granting such approval, (ii) certifying that
         attached to such certificate are true and correct copies of the
         articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Borrower together with such
         copies, and (iii) certifying the names of the officers of the Borrower
         that are authorized to sign the Loan Documents and other documents
         contemplated hereunder, including requests for Advances, together with
         the true signatures of such officers. The Bank may conclusively rely on
         such certificate until it shall receive a further certificate of the
         Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Borrower canceling or amending
         the prior certificate and submitting the signatures of the officers
         named in such further certificate.

         Arizona corporation, has merged into Health Fitness Rehab, Inc., a
         Minnesota corporation, with Health Fitness Rehab, Inc. being the
         survivor; (ii) that Duffy & Associates Physical Therapy Corp., an Iowa
         corporation, and Medlink Corporation, an Iowa corporation, have been
         merged into Health Fitness Rehab of Iowa, Inc., an Iowa corporation,
         with Health Fitness Rehab of Iowa, Inc. being the survivor; and (iii)
         that Sports & Orthopedic Physical Therapy, Inc., a Minnesota
         corporation, and Health and Fitness Rehab of Iowa, Inc. have merged
         into the Borrower, with the Borrower being the survivor.

                  (g) Certificates of good standing of the Borrower and its
         Subsidiaries, dated not more than ten days before such date.

         duly executed by all Subsidiaries of the Borrower.

                  (j) Financing statements sufficient when filed to perfect the
         security interests granted under the security agreement signed by the
         Subsidiaries to the extent such security interests are capable of being
         perfected by filing.

                  (k) A signed copy of an opinion of counsel for the Borrower,
         addressed to the Bank as to matters referred to in Sections 4.1, 4.2,
         4.3 and 4.7, and as to such other matters as the Bank may reasonably

for any other purpose.

SECTION 8.13 ARBITRATION.

                  (a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any
         party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and
         controversies between or among them (and their respective employees,
         officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort,
         contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the
         loan and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this Agreement
         and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration,
         repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation,
         inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for
         additional credit.

                  (b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i)
         proceed in a location in Minnesota selected by the American Arbitration
         Association ("AAA"); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act
         (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting
         choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties;
         and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the
         parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA's
         commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or
         counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest,
         arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be
         conducted in accordance with the AAA's optional procedures for large,
         complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution
         procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial
         disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the "Rules"). If there is
         any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and
         procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or
         refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party
         shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in
         compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall
         be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections
         afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. Section 91 or any similar applicable
         state law.

                  (c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and
         Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of
         any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property
         collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or
         proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain
         provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief,
         attachment or the

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 39 -
<PAGE>

         appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any
         arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of
         the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to
         arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the
         exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of
         this paragraph.

                  (d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration
         proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less
         will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules,
         and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any
         dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall
         be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided
         however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all
         hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney
         licensed in the State of Minnesota or a neutral retired judge of the
         state or federal judiciary of {State Name}, in either case with a
         minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to
         the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will
         determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect
         to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any
         arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or
         with a hearing at the arbitrator's discretion) any pre-hearing motions
         which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or
         motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all
         disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Minnesota and may
         grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or
         grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary
         to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power
         to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to
         take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same
         extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
         the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law.
         Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in
         any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an
         action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary
         remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party,
         including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to
         arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial
         relief.

                  (e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be
         permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be
         expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being
         arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the
         hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the
         AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any
         discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the
         arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential
         for the party's presentation and that no alternative means for
         obtaining information is available.

                  (f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of
         any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be
         determined by a separate

Health Fitness Corporation - Credit Agreement       - 40 -
<PAGE>

         arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with
         other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

                  (g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator
         shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

                  (h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA,
         the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to
         conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of
         the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an
         arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results
         thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in
         the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation.
         If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties
         potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most
         directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the
         dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive
         termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or
         any relationship between the parties.

SECTION 8.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

THE BORROWER AND THE BANK HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING
INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT,
CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized
as of the date first above written.

                                ESCROW AGREEMENT

         This ESCROW AGREEMENT (this "Escrow Agreement"), is dated as of August

         WHEREAS, to induce J&J Health to enter into the Asset Purchase
Agreement, Section 7(a) of the Asset Purchase Agreement provides that, in
connection with the purchase of the Acquired Assets, the sum of Five Million Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,250,000.00) (the "Escrow Contribution") shall

Contribution with the Escrow Agent; and

         WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has agreed to hold the Escrow Fund (as

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                     ESCROW

         2.1) Funds Placed in Escrow. On the date hereof, Lender and Bayview
have deposited the Escrow Contribution with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent
hereby acknowledges receipt of such deposits and accepts delivery of the Escrow

Fargo Treasury Plus Money Market Fund is a money market fund that is rated AAA

liquidity without penalty. The Permitted Investments and interest accruing on,
and any profit resulting from, such investments shall be added to, and become a

realized on such investments.

HFC shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, with a copy to Bayview and the Lender, a
notice jointly executed by J&J Health and HFC stating that all conditions
precedent to the Closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, with the exception of
delivery of the Purchase Price, have been satisfied and not waived (provided

conditions precedent to J&J Health's obligation to consummate the Closing set

Distribution Notice. Thereafter, at the end of each of the six calendar months
following the month in which the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall disburse

at such month-end exceeds the total Purchase Price theretofore paid to J&J
Health upon the receipt of a notice, with a copy to Bayview and the Lender,
jointly executed by J&J Health and HFC setting forth and directing the
disbursement of any such amount (each a "Post-Closing Distribution Notice").

Distribution Notice and all amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Distribution
Notices, any amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund shall be disbursed to Lender.

Agreement has been terminated (the "Termination Distribution Notice"), the
Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse all amounts in the Escrow Fund to Lender

the Closing Distribution Notice or Termination Distribution Notice on or before
November 30, 2003, the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse all amounts in the

                                    ARTICLE V

         5.1) No Implied Duties. The duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent
hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Escrow
Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Escrow
Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall, in determining its

extent that this Escrow Agreement specifically refers to or incorporates by
reference provisions of any other document).

         5.2) Indemnification of Escrow Agent. HFC and the Escrow Agent have
entered into a separate letter agreement dated the date hereof relating to
indemnification of the Escrow Agent for certain liability and expense which may
arise out of actions taken or omitted by the Escrow Agent in accordance with
this Escrow Agreement (except such liability and expense as may result from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent).

         5.3) Standard of Care; Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable
to any person by reason of any error of judgment or for any act done or step
taken or omitted by it, or for any mistake of fact or law or anything which it
may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith unless caused by or arising
out of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to rely in good faith on, and shall be protected in acting in reliance
in good faith upon, any instructions or directions furnished to it in writing
jointly executed by J&J Health and HFC or by Lender and Bayview, as applicable,
pursuant to any provision of this Escrow Agreement and shall be entitled to
treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, paper or
other document furnished to it by J&J Health and HFC or by Lender and Bayview,
and reasonably believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to have been
signed and presented by the proper party or parties. In performing its
obligations hereunder, the Escrow Agent may consult with counsel to the Escrow
Agent and shall be entitled to rely in good faith on, and shall be protected in
acting in reliance in good faith upon, the advice or opinion of such counsel.

<PAGE>

         5.4) Compensation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled
to its customary fee for the performance of services by the Escrow Agent
hereunder for each year or portion thereof that any portion of the Escrow Fund
remains in escrow and shall be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by it in connection with the performance of such services (such fees,
costs and expenses are hereinafter referred to as the "Escrow Agent's
Compensation"). The Escrow Agent's Compensation shall be paid by HFC pursuant to
the terms of a separate letter agreement between the Escrow Agent and HFC dated
the date hereof.

         5.5) Resignation and Successor. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time
by giving sixty (60) days written notice to Lender, Bayview and J&J Health;
provided, that such resignation shall not be effective unless and until a
successor Escrow Agent has been appointed and accepts such position pursuant to
the terms of this Section 5.5. In such event, Lender, Bayview and J&J Health
shall jointly appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If a successor Escrow Agent is
not appointed within the 30-day period following such notice, the Escrow Agent
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor Escrow
Agent. Such appointment shall be effective on the effective date of the
aforesaid resignation (the "Escrow Transfer Date"). On the Escrow Transfer Date,
all right title and interest to the Escrow Fund, including interest thereon,
shall be transferred to the successor Escrow Agent and this Escrow Agreement
shall be assigned by the Escrow Agent to such successor Escrow Agent, and
thereafter, the resigning Escrow Agent shall be released from any further
obligations hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall continue to serve until its
successor is appointed, assumes this Escrow Agreement and receives the
transferred Escrow Fund.

         5.6) Disputes. It is understood and agreed that in the event any
adverse claims or demands are made in connection with the Escrow Fund, or in the
event the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action it should
take hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall retain the Escrow Fund until the Escrow
Agent shall have received (i) an enforceable final order of a court or
arbitrator of competent jurisdiction which is not subject to further appeal
directing delivery of the Escrow Fund or (ii) a written statement jointly
executed by J&J Health and HFC, on the one hand, and Lender and Bayview, on the
other hand, directing delivery of the Escrow Fund, in which event Escrow Agent
shall disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with such order or agreement. Any
court or arbitrator order referred to in clause (i) immediately above shall be
accompanied by a legal opinion of counsel for the presenting party satisfactory
to the Escrow Agent to the effect that said court or arbitrator order or
judgment is final and enforceable and is not subject to further appeal. The
Escrow Agent shall act on such court or arbitrator order and legal opinion
without further question.

         5.7) Limitation on Damages. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be
liable in connection with this Escrow Agreement for any special, indirect or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, even if the Escrow Agent
has been previously advised of such loss or damage.

                  (i)      The parties hereby agree that any dispute shall be
                           resolved by arbitration before a single arbitrator in
                           accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
                           the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then
                           pertaining (available by www.adr.org), except where
                           those rules conflict with this provision, in which
                           case this provision controls. Any court with
                           jurisdiction shall enforce this clause and enter
                           judgment on any award. The arbitrator shall be
                           selected within twenty business days from
                           commencement of the arbitration from the AAA's
                           National Roster of Arbitrators pursuant to agreement
                           or through selection procedures administered by the
                           AAA. Within 45 days of initiation of arbitration, the
                           parties shall reach agreement upon and thereafter
                           follow procedures, including limits on discovery,
                           assuring that the arbitration will be concluded and
                           the award rendered within no more than eight months
                           from the selection of the arbitrator, or, failing
                           agreement, procedures meeting such time limits will
                           be designed by the AAA and adhered to by the parties.
                           The arbitration shall be held in Minneapolis,
                           Minnesota and the arbitrator shall apply the
                           substantive law of Minnesota, except that the
                           interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration
                           provision shall be governed by the Federal
                           Arbitration Act. Prior to commencement of
                           arbitration, emergency relief is available from any
                           court to avoid irreparable harm. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL
                           NOT AWARD EITHER PARTY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY,
                           MULTIPLIED OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ATTORNEYS'
                           FEES OR COSTS.

                  (ii)     Prior to the commencement of arbitration, the parties
                           must attempt to mediate their dispute using a
                           professional mediator from AAA, the CPR Institute for
                           Dispute Resolution, or like organization selected by
                           agreement or, absent agreement, through selection
                           procedures administered by the AAA. Within a period
                           of 45 days after the request for mediation, the
                           parties agree to convene with the mediator, with
                           business representatives present, for at least one
                           session to attempt to resolve the matter. In no event
                           will mediation delay commencement of the arbitration
                           for more than 45 days absent agreement of the parties
                           or interfere with the availability of emergency
                           relief.

         8.4) Benefit; Successor and Assigns. This Escrow Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns but shall not be assignable by any party hereto
without the written consent

<PAGE>

of all of the other parties hereto. The parties acknowledge that HFC is an
intended third-party beneficiary of this Escrow Agreement and that this Escrow
Agreement will not be amended without the consent of HFC. This Escrow Agreement
is not intended to confer on any person not a party hereto, other than HFC
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any rights or remedies
hereunder.

         8.5) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application of such a provision, is for any reason and to any extent invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision
to other circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the
intent of the parties to this Agreement. The parties shall replace such void or
unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision
that shall achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and
other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

         8.6) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which

be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived

prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Except
with respect to HFC pursuant to Section 8.4, notwithstanding any rights that may
be created in any third party under the terms of this Agreement, no such
amendment or waiver shall require the consent of such third party to be
effective. The waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement or default in
the performance of any obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.

         8.8) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be

otherwise, or by telecopier, or by registered or certified mail (return receipt

                                   LITIGATION

         In April 2000, HealthSouth Corporation filed a lawsuit against the
Company and two former employees in U.S. District Court in Minnesota arising out
of HealthSouth's purchase of several rehabilitation and physical therapy clinics
from the Company in May 1999. HealthSouth claimed that the two former employees
improperly diverted business away from the purchased clinics. HealthSouth
claimed damages in excess of $3,000,000, alleging misrepresentations and
breaches of warranties in the purchase agreement. In February 2002, the U.S.
District Court in Minneapolis dismissed all of HealthSouth's claims in
connection with a summary judgment motion filed by the Company, and issued an
order awarding the Company a judgment of $43,156 for its counter claim relating
to certain accounts receivable. The final outcome of this matter is pending on
the outcome of an appeal made by HealthSouth.

         A former employee, John Figarelli, sent e-mails on March 12 and 13,
2003, when still employed, indicating that he had a lawyer and was considering
filing a charge of discrimination as well as a defamation action against the
Company. The Company vigorously denies all such allegations and would vigorously
defend any charge if brought. No charge has been filed to date.

lease, license, easement, liability or adverse claim of any nature whatsoever,
direct or indirect, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, except:
(i) Permitted Liens, (ii) those specifically identified on the Disclosure

detract from the value of the properties and assets subject thereto so as to
render them unmarketable, (B) do not interfere with either the present and
continued use of such property or asset or the conduct of normal operations, and
(C) have arisen only in the ordinary course of business.

         3.10     Solvency. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated

that have become due pursuant to such tax returns and all other taxes and
assessments levied upon such Loan Party, or its properties, assets, income or
franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable
and before they have become delinquent. No issue has been raised by any federal,
state, local or foreign taxing authority which could reasonably be expected to

Loan Parties.

intangible), used in or pertaining to any Loan Party's business; (ii) no Related
Person owns, of record or as a beneficial owner, an equity interest or any other

respective officers, directors, managerial employees or agents has (i) made or
agreed to make any contribution, payment or gift to any customer, supplier,
governmental official, employee or agent where either the contribution, payment
or gift or the purpose thereof was illegal under any law, (ii) established or
maintained any unrecorded fund or asset of any Loan Party for any improper
purpose or made any false entries on its books and records for any reason, or

reimbursed any political gift or contribution made by any other person, to any
governmental official, governmental employee or candidate for federal, state or
local public office.

         3.30     Brokers. No Loan Party has engaged or employed any broker,
finder or investment banker in connection with the transactions under this

Purchasers a true, complete and correct copy of the Acquisition Documents. The
Acquisition Documents have not been amended, supplemented or modified, and they
constitute the complete understanding among the parties thereto in respect of
the matters and transactions contemplated therein. The Acquisition Documents are
the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party, enforceable in
accordance with their terms (except to the extent that enforcement may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of
general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and subject
to general equitable principles which may limit the right to obtain equitable
remedies), and there are no oral agreements or understandings or other
agreements modifying or waiving any of the provisions thereof. The

         4.01     Partnership Existence and Power. The Purchaser is a limited
partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the state of Delaware and has full power and authority to execute and deliver
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party and to
purchase the Securities as provided in this Agreement.

         4.02     Authorization. All proceedings or partnership action required
to be taken by the Purchaser relating to the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement have been taken at or prior to the Bridge Note Closing. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchaser and
constitutes, and the Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party, when executed
and delivered, will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium
or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights and subject to general equitable principles which may limit the right to
obtain equitable remedies.

         4.03     Litigation. There is no legal action, suit, arbitration,
governmental investigation or other legal or administrative proceeding, nor any
order, decree or judgment in progress, pending or in effect, or to the knowledge
of the Purchaser threatened, against or relating to the Purchaser, in connection
with or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements to which it is a party.

         4.04     Investment Intent. The Purchaser is an "accredited investor,"
as defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act. The
Securities are being purchased for the Purchaser's own account and not with a
view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering
within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Purchaser understands that the
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of its
contemplated issuance in transactions exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2)
thereof, that the reliance of the Loan Parties upon this exemption is predicated
in part upon this representation and warranty by the Purchaser, and that the
Purchaser has made no agreement with others regarding any of the Securities, and
that the Purchaser's financial condition is such that it is not likely that it
will be necessary for the Purchaser to dispose of any of the Securities in the
foreseeable future. The Purchaser is aware that (i) in the view of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, a purchase of securities with an intent to
resell by reason of any foreseeable specific contingency or anticipated change
in market values, or any change in the liquidation or settlement of any loan
obtained for the acquisition of any of the Securities and for which the
Securities were or may be pledged as security would represent an intent
inconsistent with the investment representations set forth above and (ii) a
legend will be placed on the certificate(s) representing the Securities
containing substantially the following language:

                  "The securities represented by this certificate have not been
         registered under either the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state
         securities laws and may not be sold, transferred, assigned, offered,
         pledged or otherwise distributed for value unless there is an effective
         registration statement under such Act and such laws covering such
         securities, or the Company receives an opinion of counsel acceptable to
         the Company stating that

                                       20
<PAGE>

         such sale, transfer, assignment, offer, pledge or other distribution
         for value is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery
         requirements of such Act and such laws."

         The Purchaser further represents and agrees that if, contrary to the
Purchaser's foregoing intentions, the Purchaser should later desire to dispose
of or transfer any of the Securities in any manner (excluding the exchange of
the Bridge Note as contemplated by this Agreement), the Purchaser shall not do
so without first obtaining (i) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
that such proposed disposition or transfer may be made lawfully without the
registration of such Securities pursuant to the Act and applicable state laws,
or (ii) registration of such Securities (it being expressly understood that the
Company shall not have any obligation to register such Securities except as
expressly provided in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements).

         4.05     Investigation. The Purchaser acknowledges that a purchase of
the Securities represents a speculative investment involving a high degree of
risk and that the Purchaser has been given access to full and complete
information regarding the Company and full opportunity to meet with
representatives of the Company for the purpose of obtaining such information as
the Purchaser has desired in connection with the transactions contemplated
herein.

                  condition of the Loan Parties as of the Final Closing Date and
                  giving effect to such transactions; and, to the knowledge of
                  the Loan Parties, there are no material liabilities,
                  contingent or otherwise, which are not referred to in the Pro

                    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF THE LOAN PARTIES

         Each Loan Party, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees that from

permit such representative to examine, audit, copy or make extracts from, any
and all books, records and documents in each Loan Party's and each Subsidiary's
possession, to inspect each Loan Party's and each Subsidiary's properties and to
discuss each Loan Party's and each Subsidiary's affairs, finances and accounts
with their principal officers or independent accountants, all at such times

out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with any such inspection
or audit.

                                       25
<PAGE>

                  (b)      Any information or document obtained by any Purchaser
in any examination, audit, inspection or discussion pursuant to this Section
6.03 will be kept in strict confidence and will be used by the Purchaser only
for those purposes the Purchaser believes to be appropriate to protect its
interests under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or in obtaining
payment of amounts owed pursuant to the Notes, provided that the foregoing will
not limit any Purchaser's use of such information or document (i) if such
information or document has become generally available to the public through no
fault of the Purchaser, (ii) if use of such information or document is required
or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal,
state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over
the Purchaser, (iii) if use of such information or document may be required or
appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any
litigation, (iv) if such information or document is disclosed or given to the
Purchaser in good faith by a third party who had independent rights to such
information or document, (v) if use of such information or document is believed
by the Purchaser to be appropriate in order to comply with any law, order,
regulation or ruling applicable to the Purchaser, or (vi) if such information or
document is disclosed or given to a prospective transferee in connection with
any contemplated transfer of any of the Securities; provided that such
transferee will first execute a confidentiality agreement containing
substantially the same restrictions as set forth herein. Except for disclosures
required to comply with the SBIA, the Purchaser will give the Company reasonable
notice of any possible disclosure pursuant to subparts (ii), (iii), or (v)
herein and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company
with an opportunity to request confidential treatment in any proceeding pursuant
to which such disclosure may occur.

         6.04     Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party will comply, and will
cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules,
regulations, orders and restrictions of the United States of America, foreign
countries, states and municipalities and of any governmental department,
commission, board, regulatory authority, bureau, agency, and instrumentality of
the foregoing, and of any court, arbitrator or grand jury, in respect of the
conduct of its business and the ownership of its properties, except such as are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Loan Party.

         6.05     Maintenance of Properties. Each Loan Party will keep and
maintain, and will cause each Subsidiary to keep and maintain, its properties in
good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and
from time to time make, or cause to be made, all repairs and renewals and
replacements which are necessary and proper so that the business carried on in
connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times.
Each Loan Party will maintain, and will cause each Subsidiary to maintain, or
cause to be maintained, back-up copies of all valuable papers and software.

         6.06     Insurance. Each Loan Party will obtain insurance, for itself
and each Subsidiary, against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured
against by Persons similarly situated, with reputable insurers, in such amounts,
with such deductibles and by such methods as are adequate, and in any event in
amounts and coverages (i) not less than amounts and coverages generally
maintained by other Persons engaged in similar businesses and (ii) not less than
the

                                       26
<PAGE>

amounts and coverages maintained as of the Bridge Note Closing Date. Each Loan
Party will promptly provide to each Purchaser copies of all material notices
received from or sent to any of its insurers together with copies of all
material correspondence related to such insurance.

         6.07     Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Loan Party will, and will
cause each Subsidiary to, duly pay and discharge, as they become due and
payable, all taxes, assessments and governmental and other charges, levies or
claims levied or imposed, which are, or which if unpaid might become, a Lien
upon the properties, assets, earnings or business of any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section will
require any Loan Party or any Subsidiary to pay and discharge, or cause to be
paid and discharged, any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as
such party in good faith contests the validity thereof and sets aside on its
books adequate reserves with respect thereto. In the event any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary fails to satisfy its obligations under this Section, any Purchaser
may (but is not obligated to) satisfy such obligations in whole or in part and
any payments made and reasonable expenses incurred in doing so will constitute,
to the extent satisfied by the Purchaser, an obligation of the Loan Parties
immediately due and payable to the Purchaser, and such obligation will be paid
upon the demand of the Purchaser by the Loan Parties with interest at the
default rate of interest provided for under the Note.

         6.08     Maintenance of Existence. Each Loan Party will, and will cause
each Subsidiary to, at all times do or cause to be done all things necessary to
maintain, preserve and renew its charter and existence and its rights, patents
and franchises, and comply with all material laws applicable thereto; provided,
however, that a Loan Party may dissolve or liquidate (including by merger) any
Subsidiary that is wholly-owned by such Loan Party upon a good faith
determination by the Company's Board of Directors that such action will not
adversely affect the Loan Parties or the Purchasers. Each Loan Party will at all
times maintain its principal executive offices at the address set forth in the
Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that a Loan Party may change the
location of its principal executive offices upon not less than 30 days prior
notice to each Purchaser.

         6.09     Financial Covenants. The Loan Parties will comply with the
covenants set forth in the Financial Covenants Rider attached to this Agreement.

         6.10     Board of Directors.

                  (a)      The Purchaser has the right, at its option, to
designate one director to the Company's Board of Directors. The Company will
nominate any person designated by the Purchaser to serve as a member of the
Board of Directors and use its best efforts to effectuate such person's election
or appointment to the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Company
will not be obligated to so nominate any person (i) that is a director, officer
or employee of a direct competitor of the Company, as determined in good faith
by the Company, (ii) with respect to whom the Company would be required to make
any disclosure under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (but excluding Item
401(f)(1)), or (iii) that is prohibited by applicable law from serving on the
Board of Directors. The Purchaser's designee on the Company's Board of Directors
will receive the same compensation as the Company's other outside directors. The

                                       27

Company will reimburse the Purchaser's designee for the expenses of attending
board and committee meetings in the same manner as the Company's other outside
directors.

                  (b)      Each Loan Party will use its best efforts to provide
each Purchaser with five business days prior notice of all regular and special
meetings of such Loan Party's Board of Directors (or equivalent governing body)
and any committee thereof (and in any event such notice must be provided not
later than the notice provided to the members thereof), and afford any
representative designated by each Purchaser the right and opportunity to attend
any such meeting. In the case of a live meeting, such attendance will be
permitted (at the option of the representative) either by the representative in
person or by conference telephone participation. Each Purchaser's representative
will be entitled to receive all written materials and other information given to
the directors (or their equivalent) of each Loan Party in connection with any
such meeting at the time such materials or information are given to such
directors. The Loan Parties will reimburse each Purchaser for the expenses
incurred by its representative in connection with attending meetings of the Loan
Party's Board of Directors (or equivalent governing body) and any committee
thereof in the same manner as the Company's other outside directors or committee
members.

         6.11     Replacement of Certificates. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Parties of the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any certificate or instrument representing the Securities, the
Loan Parties will issue new certificates or instruments of like tenor, in lieu
of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate or instrument.

         6.12     Retirement Plans. Each Loan Party will cause each retirement
plan in which any employee of such Loan Party or any Subsidiary participates
that is subject to the provisions of ERISA, and the documents and instruments
governing each such plan, to be conformed to, when necessary, and to be
administered in a manner consistent with, those provisions of ERISA which may,
from time to time, become effective and operative with respect to such plans. If
requested by any Purchaser in writing from time to time, each Loan Party will
furnish to each Purchaser a copy of any annual report with respect to each such
plan that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary files with the Secretary of Labor
pursuant to ERISA. Each Loan party will maintain fiduciary liability insurance
with respect to its acts as an ERISA fiduciary with respect to each employee
benefit pension plan governed by ERISA up to the amount of plan assets.

         6.13     Filing of SEC Documents. Each Loan Party will, from and after
such time as it has securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or has securities registered
pursuant to the Securities Act, make timely filing of such reports as are
required to be filed by it with the Commission so that Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any successor provision thereto will be available to such Loan
Party's security holders who are otherwise able to take advantage of the
provisions of such rule.

         6.14     Rule 144A. Each Loan Party will, upon the request of any
Purchaser or any prospective purchaser of the Securities, promptly provide (but
in any case within 15 days of a request) to such Purchaser or potential
purchaser the following information: (i) a brief statement of the nature of the
business of such Loan Party and any Subsidiaries and the products and services
they offer; (ii) such Loan Party's most recent consolidated balance sheets and
profit and

loss and retained earnings statements, and similar financial statements for such
part of the two preceding fiscal years prior to such request as such Loan Party
has been in operation (such financial information shall be audited, to the
extent reasonably available); and (iii) such other information about such Loan
Party, any Subsidiaries, and their business, financial condition and results of
operations as the Purchaser or potential purchaser requests in order to comply
with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and the antifraud provisions
of the federal and state securities laws. Each Loan Party represents and
warrants to each Purchaser and each potential purchaser that the information
provided pursuant to this Section will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

thereof (provided that such notice will not be required for Hazardous Materials
placed or stored on such property in accordance with Environmental Laws in the
ordinary course of business).

                  (b)      Each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary
to, promptly comply with any Environmental Law requiring the removal, treatment
or disposal of Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Material Contamination and, upon
request, provide each Purchaser with satisfactory evidence of such compliance.

                  (c)      Each Loan Party will provide each Purchaser, within
30 days after a demand by any Purchaser, with a bond, letter of credit or
similar financial assurance evidencing to each Purchaser's satisfaction that the
necessary funds are available to pay the cost of removing, treating, and
disposing of such Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination and
discharging any Lien which may be established as a result thereof on any
property owned, operated or controlled by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or
for which any Loan Party or any Subsidiary is, or is claimed to be responsible.

                  (d)      Each Loan Party will defend, indemnify and hold
harmless each Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, partners,
governors and agents from any and all claims which may now or in the future
(whether before or after the termination of this Agreement) be asserted as a
result of the presence of any Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials
Contamination on any property owned, operated or controlled by any Loan Party or
any Subsidiary for which any Loan Party or any Subsidiary is, or is claimed to
be, responsible. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that this
indemnification obligation will survive the termination of this Agreement and

requirement set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party will immediately report

authority asserting jurisdiction over the Purchaser;

as set forth in Section 3.24 above, (ii) no Loan Party will use the proceeds
from the sale of the Securities for any prohibited purposes set forth in Section
3.24, (iii) no Loan Party will change its business activity in any manner which,
by reason of such change in business activity, would cause such Loan Party to

comply with the non-discrimination requirements of 13 CFR Parts 112, 113 and

compliance.

                  (c)      As of the Bridge Note Closing and for at least one

         8.01     Indemnification. Each Loan Party, jointly and severally,
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, employees, partners, agents and representatives from and against any
and all claims, causes of action, losses, costs, damages, deficiencies or
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively "Damages"), arising
from or related to any and all misrepresentations or breach of a representation,
warranty or covenant of any Loan Party set forth in this Agreement, any of the
Ancillary Agreements, or any certificate, financial statement, document,
instrument or other material furnished to any Purchaser in connection with this
Agreement. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that this indemnification
obligation will survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment and

written notice of any event or assertion of which it has knowledge concerning
any Damages or other obligation and as to which it may request indemnification
hereunder. A failure to give timely notice or to provide copies of documents or
to furnish relevant data in connection with any third party claim by a party who
suffers Damages will not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim
for indemnification by such party, except and only to the extent that such
failure shall result in material prejudice to the indemnifying party.

         8.03     Defense. In the event the Loan Parties are obligated to
provide indemnification under this Article VIII with respect to any claim,
action or proceeding involving any third party, the Loan Parties will be
entitled to participate in any investigation of such claim, action or proceeding
and, upon written notice to the Purchasers, assume the investigation and defense
of such claim, action, or proceeding with counsel of its choice at its expense,
provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers.

         10.05    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements,
including the other documents referred to herein, contain the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained
herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties, covenants, or
undertakings, other than those expressly provided for herein. This Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements supersede all prior agreements and undertakings between
the parties with respect to such subject matter.

         10.06    Amendments; Consents; Waivers. The Purchaser or Purchasers
representing (i) at least 50% of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes at the

required or permitted to be given by the Purchasers by any provision hereof will
be sufficient and binding on all Purchasers if given in writing by the Requisite
Purchasers at the time outstanding except that, without the written consent of
all the Purchasers, no amendment to this Agreement will extend the maturity of
the Notes, alter the rate of interest or any premium payable with respect to the
Notes, affect the amount or timing of any required prepayments, or reduce the
proportion of the principal amount of the Notes required with respect to any
consent. No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or
more instances, will constitute a waiver of the same term or condition of this
Agreement on any future occasion.

         10.07    Severability of Invalid Provision. If any one or more covenant
or agreement provided in this Agreement is contrary to law, then such covenant
or agreement will be null and

void and will in no way affect the validity of the other provisions of this
Agreement, which will otherwise be fully effective and enforceable.

instruments and agreements delivered in connection with the consummation of this
Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Loan
Party may assign any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Purchasers.

         10.09    Rules of Construction; Disclosure Schedule.

                  (a)      Section headings contained in this Agreement are
inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, extend or
describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any of the provisions
hereof. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been negotiated on
behalf of the parties with the advice of legal counsel and no general rule of
contract construction requiring an agreement to be more stringently construed
against the drafter or proponent of any particular provision will be applied in
the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or the Ancillary
Agreements.

                  (b)      The Loan Parties will include references in the
Disclosure Schedule to the particular Section of this Agreement that relates to
each disclosure. The disclosures in the Disclosure Schedule relate only to the
representations and warranties in the Section of the Agreement to which they
expressly relate and not to any other representation or warranty in this
Agreement except to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of a
disclosure that such disclosure relates to such other representation or
warranty. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body
of this Agreement and those in the Disclosure Schedule (other than an exception
expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedule with respect to a
specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in the body
of this Agreement will control.

         10.10    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been
signed by each of the parties.

granted by law, rule, regulation or instrument.

         10.12    Press Releases. The Loan Parties agree not to issue any press
release or make any general public announcement or statement with respect to the
execution of this Agreement or the transactions hereunder unless the same,
including the content thereof, are approved by the Purchasers. The Loan Parties
agree that each Purchaser may utilize the name, trade names, logos, and
trademarks of the Loan Parties in the Purchaser's marketing materials.

         10.13    Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to the
payment and performance of all obligations and agreements of the Loan Parties
under this Agreement.

THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, OR ALLEGING ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, THE PURCHASERS AT THEIR OPTION ARE ENTITLED
TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES DESCRIBED

Affiliates nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, or
representatives will be liable to any other Purchaser for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement. No Purchaser makes any warranty or representation to any
other Purchaser and will not be responsible to any other Purchaser for any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. No Purchaser has any duty to any other
Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any
of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any Ancillary
Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the
Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any
other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under or in connection with this Agreement. Each Purchaser
acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Purchaser as a
result of the Purchasers holding disproportionate interests in the Securities,
and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of
interest.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS
WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (1) REGISTRATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH
SUCH ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS OR (2) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED.

                                     WARRANT

                           TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF

                           HEALTH FITNESS CORPORATION

                                 _____ ___, 2003

         Health Fitness Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"),
certifies and agrees that Bayview Capital Partners LP, a Delaware limited
partnership or its successors and assigns (the "Holder") is entitled to purchase
from the Company _______ shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Exercise
Quantity"), upon the terms and provisions and subject to adjustment as provided
in this Warrant (the "Warrant"). The exercise price of the Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable is $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment as
provided below (the "Exercise Price).

         This Warrant was issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement
dated as of the date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement") by and among the Holder,
the Company, and the other Loan Parties thereto. This Warrant is subject to, and
the Holder is entitled to, the benefits of the Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements. Except as to those terms otherwise defined in this Warrant, all
initially-capitalized terms used in this Warrant have the meanings provided in
the Agreement.

         This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and
conditions:

         1.       Term of Warrant. The term of this Warrant commences as of the
date hereof and expires at 5:00 P.M., Minneapolis time, on _____ ___, 2013.

         2.       Exercise.

                  (a)      This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder in whole
or in part from time to time during the term of this Warrant by (i) providing
written notice of exercise to the Company on or before the intended date of
exercise, (ii) surrendering the Warrant (properly endorsed if required) at the
principal office of the Company, and (iii) paying an amount equal to the
Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being
purchased.
<PAGE>

                  (b)      At the option of the Holder, payment of the Exercise
Price may be made either by (i) check payable to the order of the Company, (ii)
surrender of stock certificates then held representing, or deduction from the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, that number of shares
which has an aggregate current Fair Market Value (as defined below) on the date
of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for all shares to be purchased
pursuant to this Warrant, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing methods.

                  (c)      Upon the proper exercise of this Warrant, the Company
will issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder, stock
certificates for that number of shares of Common Stock purchased. In the event
of a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company will also issue and deliver
to the Holder a new Warrant at the same time such stock certificates are
delivered, which new Warrant will entitle the Holder to purchase the balance of
the shares not purchased in that partial exercise and will otherwise be upon the
same terms and provisions as this Warrant.

         3.       Issuance of Shares. The Company agrees that the shares of
Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Warrant will and are deemed to be issued
to the Holder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant is
surrendered and payment is made for such shares as provided in Section 2 above.
Certificates for the shares of stock so purchased will be delivered to the
Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding 10 days after the rights
represented by this Warrant have been exercised, and, unless this Warrant has
expired, a new Warrant representing the number of shares, if any, with respect
to which this Warrant has not been exercised will also be delivered to the
Holder within such time.

         4.       Covenants of Company.

                  (a)      The Company covenants and agrees that all shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon such issuance,
be duly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further
covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented
by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized,
and reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the
subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of
its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant.

                  (b)      The Company covenants and agrees that it will not
declare, make or pay any cash dividend or other cash distribution, with respect
to the Company's Common Stock except that cash dividends will be permitted so
long as (i) such dividends are not prohibited by any contractual obligation of
the Company, and (ii) a cash payment is made to the Holder of the Warrant equal
to the product of (A) the amount of cash plus the fair value of any property or
securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock,
multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant.
<PAGE>

         5.       Anti-dilution Adjustments.

                  (a)      General Exercise Quantity Adjustment. Upon any
adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided in this Section 5, the Exercise
Quantity will be adjusted such that at the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment, the new Exercise Quantity will be obtained by multiplying the former
Exercise Quantity by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which
is the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. Further, the Company will
give prompt written notice, no later than three business days, of each
adjustment, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the
address shown on the books of the Company, which notice will state the Exercise
Price and Exercise Quantity resulting from such adjustment and will set forth in
reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such
calculation is based.

                  (b)      Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. If the
Company at any time hereafter subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of
Common Stock or declares a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the subdivision, combination or
record date for such dividend payable in Common Stock will be proportionately
increased (in the case of a combination) or decreased (in the case of a
subdivision or dividend payable in Common Stock), and the Exercise Quantity will
be adjusted in accordance with Section 5(a) above.

                  (c)      Issuances Below Fair Market Value. If the Company
issues (or, pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii) below, is deemed to issue) any Common
Stock except for Excluded Stock (as defined below) for a consideration per share
less than the Fair Market Value on the date the Company fixes the purchase price
for such Common Stock (excluding stock dividends, subdivisions, split-ups,
combinations or recapitalizations which are addressed by Section 5(b) or (e)),
the Exercise Price in effect immediately after each such issuance will be
reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price determined by multiplying
the applicable Exercise Price immediately prior to such issuance by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (or deemed issuance) plus the
number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by
the Company for such issuance would purchase at such Fair Market Value per
share, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
Outstanding immediately after such issuance (or deemed issuance), including the
shares of Common Stock, if any, deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section
5(c)(iii) below.

                  For the purposes of any adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to this Section 5(c), the following provisions are applicable:

                           (i)      In the case of the issuance of Common Stock
         for cash, the consideration is the amount of cash paid for such Common
         Stock after deducting any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by
         the Company in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
<PAGE>

                           (ii)     In the case of the issuance of Common Stock
         for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
         consideration other than cash is the fair value thereof as determined
         in good faith by the Board of Directors.

                           (iii)    In the case of the issuance of (A) options
         to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, (B) securities, by
         their terms, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, (C)
         options to purchase or rights to subscribe for securities, by their
         terms, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) stock
         appreciation rights, phantom stock, or other stock-based compensation
         mechanisms ("SARs"):

                                    (1)      the aggregate maximum number of
                  shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such
                  options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock
                  or, in the case of SARs, the number of shares of Common Stock
                  upon which the value of the SARs are based, shall be deemed to
                  have been issued at the time such options or rights were
                  issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
                  (determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (i) and
                  (ii) above of this Section 5(c)), if any, received by the
                  Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the
                  minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for
                  the Common Stock covered thereby;

                                    (2)      the aggregate maximum number of
                  shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in
                  exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities,
                  or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to
                  subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and
                  subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to
                  have been issued at the time such securities were issued or
                  such options or rights were issued and for a consideration
                  equal to the consideration received by the Company for any
                  such securities and related options or rights (excluding any
                  cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued
                  dividends), plus the additional minimum consideration, if any,
                  to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange
                  of such securities or the exercise of any related options or
                  rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the
                  manner provided in subdivisions (i) and (ii) above of this
                  Section 5(c));

                                    (3)      on any change in the number of
                  shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such
                  options or rights or conversion of or exchange for such
                  convertible or exchangeable securities, or on any change in
                  the minimum purchase price of such options, rights or
                  securities, other than a change resulting from the
                  antidilution provisions of such options, rights or securities,
                  the Exercise Price will be readjusted to such Exercise Price
                  as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon (a)
                  the issuance of such options, rights or securities not
                  exercised, converted or exchanged prior to such change or (b)
                  the options or rights related to such securities not converted
                  or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been
                  made upon the basis of such change; and
<PAGE>

                                    (4)      on the expiration of any such
                  options or rights, the termination of any such rights to
                  convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights
                  related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the
                  Exercise Price will be readjusted to such Exercise Price as
                  would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the
                  issuance of such options, rights, convertible or exchangeable
                  securities or options or rights related to such convertible or
                  exchangeable securities, as the case may be, been made upon
                  the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of
                  Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options
                  or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible
                  or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of the options
                  or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable
                  securities, as the case may be.

                           (iv)     "Fair Market Value" means the fair value of
         the Common Stock (i) as mutually agreed to by the Holder and the
         Company, or (ii) if they do not agree to such value within 30 days of
         the issuance of the applicable shares of Common Stock, as determined by
         an independent professional appraiser mutually selected by the Holder
         and the Company. In the event that the Holder and the Company are
         unable to mutually select an appraiser within 15 days of the end of the
         30 day period, then the Holder and the Company will each select an
         independent professional appraiser who will jointly select a third
         independent professional appraiser to conduct the appraisal. Each such
         appraiser must be selected within 15 days of the end of the initial 15
         day period, and, if either the Holder of the Company fails to select an
         appraiser within such time period, then the appraiser selected by the
         other party will determine the Fair Market Value. In no event will any
         appraiser apply any discounts for illiquidity, lack of control or other
         similar factors in determining the Fair Market Value. All costs
         associated with the appraisal will be borne by the Company.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company's Common Stock is (i)
         listed and trading on a national securities exchange or on the Nasdaq
         National Market System, Fair Market Value means, on a per share basis,
         the average closing sale price per share of the Common Stock for the 20
         trading days immediately preceding any date of determination or (ii) is
         not listed for trading on a national securities exchange or on the
         Nasdaq National Market System Stock Market, but is traded in the
         over-the-counter market, including the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board, Fair
         Market Value means, on a per share basis, the average of the high bid
         and low ask price per share of the Common Stock for each of the 20
         trading days immediately preceding any date of determination.

                           (v)      "Excluded Stock" means (A) all shares of
         Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of currently issued
         and outstanding Common Stock Equivalents in accordance with their
         terms, (B) all shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
         issued pursuant to the Company's 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as
         amended, as in effect on the date hereof, but not in excess of 700,000
         shares of Common Stock, (C) all shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
         Equivalents issued pursuant to the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, as
         amended, as in effect on the date hereof, but not in excess of
         2,000,000 shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents, and (D)
         all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection
         with the Perkins Investment (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and
         all
<PAGE>

         shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of such shares in
         accordance with their terms, and (E) all shares of Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock and all Common Stock Equivalents issued pursuant to the
         Purchase Agreement and all shares of Common Stock issued upon the
         conversion or exercise, as applicable, of such securities in accordance
         with their terms.

                           (vi)     "Common Stock Outstanding" means, at any
         time and without duplication, the sum of (i) the shares of Common Stock
         then outstanding, plus (ii) all shares of Common Stock that are then
         issuable upon the exchange, conversion or exercise of all Common Stock
         Equivalents then outstanding.

                  (d)      No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common
Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but the Company will pay
a cash adjustment in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be
issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the fair market value per
share of Common Stock on the day of exercise as determined in good faith by the
Company.

                  (e)      Exchange Events. In the event that any capital
reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or the
consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity, or the sale of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets to another entity is effected in
such a way that the Company's common stockholders will be entitled to receive
stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for their Common
Stock (an "Exchange Event"), then, from and after such Exchange Event, the
Warrant will be exercisable, upon the terms and conditions specified in this
Warrant, for an amount of such stock, securities or assets to which a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant at
the time of such Exchange Event would have been entitled to receive upon such
Exchange Event. Appropriate provisions will be made with respect to the rights
and interests of the Holder to ensure that the provisions of this Warrant
(including without limitation the provisions to adjust the Exercise Price and
the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) will be
applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any such stock, securities or
assets deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant after an Exchange Event.
The Company will not effect any Exchange Event unless, prior to the consummation
thereof, the successor or purchasing corporation (if other than the Company)
with respect to such Exchange Event, assumes by written instrument executed and
delivered to the Holder at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of
the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such stock, securities or
assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be
entitled to purchase.

                  (f)      Adjustments for Initial Errors. The Company
acknowledges that the Exercise Quantity was calculated based upon an intention
that the Exercise Quantity would constitute 8% of the Common Stock Outstanding
as of the date of issuance of the Warrant, but excluding (i) the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, (ii) the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Perkins Investment (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (iii) the Common Stock Equivalents the
exercise price of which is $3.00 per share or greater. If for any reason it is
determined that the calculation of the Exercise Quantity is erroneous, then the
Holder may notify the Company of such
<PAGE>

determination and the Company will promptly reissue the Warrant with an
appropriate increase in the Exercise Quantity to be effective as of the Closing
Date.

                  (g)      Other Adjustments. In the case any event occurs as to
which the preceding provisions of this Section 5 are not strictly applicable,
but as to which the failure to make an adjustment to this Warrant would not
fairly protect the purchase rights or value represented by this Warrant in
accordance with the essential intent and principles of this Warrant, then, in
each such case, the Holder may appoint an independent investment bank or firm of
independent public accountants (in each case acceptable to the Company, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld), which will give its opinion as to the
adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and
principles established in this Warrant, necessary to preserve the purchase
rights or value represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the
Company will promptly deliver a copy of such opinion to the Holder and will make
the adjustments described in such opinion. The fees and expenses of such
investment bank or independent public accountants will be borne by the Company.

         6.       Preemptive Rights.

                  (a)      In the event that at any time after the date hereof
the Company proposes to issue Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as
defined below), the Company will give written notice to the Holder of this
Warrant and the holders of any Common Stock issued upon exercise of this
Warrant, describing such proposal at least thirty (30) days in advance of such
issuance. Each such holder or its affiliates will then have the right,
exercisable by written notice given to the Company no later than twenty (20)
days after receipt of the Company's notice, to purchase its pro rata share
(assuming the conversion of all Common Stock Equivalents to Common Stock) of the
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents proposed to be issued by the Company on
the same price and terms as are proposed by the Company.

                  (b)      "Common Stock Equivalents" means all options,
warrants (including this Warrant), convertible securities, securities, stock
appreciation rights, phantom stock, and other rights to acquire from the Company
shares of Common Stock (without regard to whether such options, warrants,
convertible securities, securities, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock,
and other rights are then exchangeable, exercisable or convertible in full, in
part or at all).

                  (c)      The rights granted under this Section 6 do not apply
to issuances of (i) Excluded Stock or (ii) shares of capital stock of the
Company in a public offering underwritten by an underwriter, or group of
underwriters which is represented by an underwriter or underwriters, which is a
member of the New York Stock Exchange.

         7.       Put Right.

                  (a)      Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or an
Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Requisite Holders
shall have the right to have the Company purchase all or any portion of the
Warrant and shares of Conversion Stock then outstanding at a per share purchase
price equal to the Fair Market Value; provided, however, that with respect to
the Warrant, prior to its exercise, the purchase price will be reduced by the
<PAGE>

Exercise Price then in effect (the "Put Price"). The Company shall give all
holders of the Warrant or Conversion Stock not less than 90 days prior written
notice of any Change in Control. In addition, the Company shall promptly provide
to the holders such information concerning the terms of such Change in Control
and the value of the assets of the Company as may reasonably be requested by the
holders in order to assist them in determining whether to make such an election.

                  (b)      The Requisite Holders may exercise the put right
under Section 7(a) above by giving the Company written notice of the Requisite
Holders' intention to exercise the put right. Within 10 days after receipt of
such written notice, the Company shall give all other holders of the Warrant and
Conversion Stock, if any, written notice of the Company's receipt of such
written notice. The Company's notice must specify (i) the date fixed for
purchase of the Warrant and Conversion Stock under Section 7(c), (ii) the Put
Price, and (iii) the location to which the Warrant and Conversion Stock must be
presented and surrendered for purchase. Such other holders of the Warrant or
Conversion Stock will then have the right, to be exercised by providing the
Company a written notice within 10 days after receipt of the Company's notice,
to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such holder's Warrant
or Conversion Stock on the same terms as the Requisite Holders.

                  (c)      The purchase of the Warrant and Conversion Stock
pursuant to the put right set forth in Section 7(a) will occur on (i) if a
Change in Control is the event giving rise to the put right under Section 7(a),
the date on which such Change in Control is consummated (and, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, such put right shall be conditioned upon such
consummation), or (ii) if an Event of Default is the event giving rise to the
put right under Section 7(a), a date selected by the Company that is between 30
and 45 days after receipt of the written notice from the Requisite Holders.

                  (d)      On the date of purchase of the Warrant and the
Conversion Stock, the Company shall deliver payment, in same-day funds, to each
holder in an amount equal to the aggregate Put Price applicable to such holder's
Warrant and Conversion Stock being purchased. In the event that the Company
defaults in its obligation to deliver all or any portion of the purchase price,
in addition to any other rights or remedies of the holder, the unpaid portion of
the purchase price will bear interest at the rate of 15% per year, payable
monthly in arrears. The Company will, upon request of the Requisite Holders,
execute and deliver to the holders a promissory note in form and substance
satisfactory to the Requisite Holders evidencing such obligation.

         8.       No Voting Rights. This Warrant, as such, does not entitle the
Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

         9.       Governing Law. This Warrant will be construed and enforced in
accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Minnesota without giving
effect to the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdiction.

         10.      Consent to Jurisdiction. AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER, THIS
WARRANT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OR MINNESOTA STATE
<PAGE>

COURT SITTING IN HENNEPIN COUNTY, AND THE COMPANY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION
AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS
NOT CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT THE COMPANY COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER
JURISDICTION OR VENUE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT, THE HOLDER, AT
ITS OPTION, IS ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS
AND VENUES DESCRIBED ABOVE, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

         11.      Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS WARRANT.

                                    * * * * *

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed by
a duly authorized officer and dated as of the date first above written.

(i) indicate the Collateral (A) as all assets of the Borrower or words of
similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the
Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
such jurisdiction, or (B) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater
detail, and (ii) contain any other information required by Article 9 of the UCC.
The Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to the Lender promptly upon
request. The Borrower also ratifies its authorization for the Lender to have
filed in any jurisdiction any similar initial financing statements or amendments
thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

         4.       Other Actions. To further insure the attachment, perfection
and priority of, and the ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender's security
interest in the Collateral, the Borrower agrees, in each case at the Borrower's
own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following
Collateral, but subject to the terms of the Senior Subordination Agreement (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement):

                  4.1      Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper. If the
         Borrower at any time holds or acquires any promissory notes or tangible
         chattel paper, the Borrower will promptly endorse, assign and deliver
         the same to the Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or
         assignment duly executed in blank as the Lender may from time to time
         specify.

                  4.2      Deposit Accounts. For each deposit account that the
         Borrower at any time opens or maintains, the Borrower will, at the
         Lender's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and
         substance satisfactory to the Lender, during the existence of an Event
         of Default, cause the depositary bank to agree to comply at any time
         with instructions from the Lender to such depositary bank directing the
         disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit
         account, without further consent of the Borrower.

                  4.3      Investment Property.

                           (a)      If the Borrower at any time holds or
                  acquires any certificated securities, the Borrower will
                  promptly endorse, assign and deliver the securities to the
                  Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or
                  assignment duly executed in blank as the Lender may from time
                  to time specify.

                           (b)      If any securities now or hereafter acquired
                  by the Borrower are uncertificated and are issued to the
                  Borrower or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, the
                  Borrower will immediately notify the Lender thereof and, at
                  the Lender's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in
                  form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, either (i)
                  cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the
                  Lender as to such securities, without further consent of the
                  Borrower or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Lender to
                  become the registered owner of the securities.

                           (c)      If any securities, whether certificated or
                  uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter
                  acquired by the Borrower are held by the Borrower or its
                  nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
                  intermediary, the Borrower will immediately notify the Lender
                  thereof and, at the Lender's request and option, pursuant to
                  an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender,
                  either (i) cause such securities intermediary or commodity
                  intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or
                  other instructions from the Lender to such securities
                  intermediary as to such securities or other investment
                  property, or to apply any value distributed on account of any
                  commodity contract as directed by the Lender to such commodity
                  intermediary, in each case without further consent of the
                  Borrower or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial
                  assets or other investment property held through a securities
                  intermediary, arrange for the Lender to become the entitlement
                  holder with respect to such investment property, with the
                  Borrower being permitted, only with the consent of the Lender,
                  to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such
                  investment property.

                  4.4      Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any
         goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, the Borrower will
         promptly notify the Lender thereof. If requested by the Lender, the
         Borrower will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
         form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, that the bailee holds
         such Collateral for the benefit of the Lender and that the bailee will
         act upon the instructions of the Lender, without the further consent of
         the Borrower.

                  4.4.     Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records.
         The Borrower will promptly notify the Lender if the Borrower at any
         time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or
         any "transferable record," as that term is defined in Section 201 of
         the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act
         (the "Electronic Signatures Act"), or in Section 16 of the Uniform
         Electronic Transactions Act (the "Electronic Transactions Act") as in
         effect in any relevant jurisdiction. At the request of the Lender, the
         Borrower will take such action as the Lender may reasonably request to
         vest in the Lender control of (i) such electronic chattel paper under
         Section 9-105 of the UCC or (ii) such transferable record under Section
         201 of the Electronic Signatures Act or Section 16 of the Electronic
         Transactions Act, as applicable.

                  4.5      Letter-of-credit Rights. If the Borrower is at any
         time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in
         favor of the Borrower, the Borrower will promptly notify the Lender
         thereof and, at the request and option of the Lender, the Borrower
         will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
         the Lender, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such
         letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Lender of the
         proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for
         the Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of
         credit.

                  4.6      Commercial Tort Claims. If the Borrower at any time
         holds or acquires a commercial tort claim, the Borrower will
         immediately notify the Lender in a writing signed by the Borrower of
         the brief details thereof and grant to the Lender in such writing a
         security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the
         terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Lender.

         4.7      Intellectual Property.

                           (a)      The Borrower will concurrently herewith
                  deliver to the Lender each Copyright Security Agreement,
                  Patent Security Agreement and Trademark Security Agreement and
                  all other documents, instruments and other items as may be
                  necessary for the Lender to file such agreements with the U.S.
                  Copyright Office and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as
                  applicable.

                           (b)      In the event the Borrower acquires or
                  becomes entitled to any new or additional Intellectual
                  Property, or rights thereto, the Borrower will give prompt
                  written notice thereof to the Lender, and will amend (and
                  authorizes the Lender to amend) the schedules to the
                  respective security agreements or enter into new or additional
                  security agreements to include any such new or additional
                  Intellectual Property. The Borrower acknowledges that receipt
                  of a true, correct and complete copy of the Acquisition
                  Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) will
                  constitute notice under this Section of the Intellectual
                  Property being acquired by the Borrower pursuant to the
                  Acquisition Agreement.

                           (c)      The Borrower will preserve and maintain all
                  rights in the Intellectual Property. The Borrower will use
                  commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents,
                  waivers or agreements necessary to enable the Lender to
                  exercise its remedies with respect any and all Intellectual
                  Property.

                           (d)      The Borrower will not abandon any material
                  pending Intellectual Property application or material
                  registered Intellectual Property.

                           (e)      The Borrower will not take any action or
                  permit any action to be taken by others subject to its
                  control, including licensees, or fail to take any action which
                  would affect the validity or enforcement of the rights granted
                  to the Lender under this Agreement.
<PAGE>

                           (f)      The Borrower assigns, transfers and conveys
                  to the Lender all Intellectual Property owned or used by the
                  Borrower to the extent necessary to enable the Lender,
                  effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to
                  realize on the Collateral and any successor or assign to enjoy
                  the benefits of the Collateral. This right and assignment will
                  inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, assigns
                  and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of
                  law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of
                  foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and assignment is granted
                  free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment
                  whatsoever including, without limitation, any royalty or
                  license fee, be made to the Borrower or any other Person by
                  the Lender or any other Person.

                  4.8      Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. The
         Borrower agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
         Lender to insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the
         ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender's security interest in any
         and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (i) executing,
         delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and
         amendments relating thereto under the UCC, (ii) causing the Lender's
         names to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a
         titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection
         or priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender's
         security interest in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any
         provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as
         to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to
         attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Lender to
         enforce, the Lender's security interest in such Collateral, (iv)
         obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals,
         including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or
         other person obligated on Collateral, (v) obtaining waivers from
         mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Lender and (vi) taking all actions required by any earlier versions of
         the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any jurisdiction, or by other
         law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.

         5.       Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this
Agreement supplement the provisions of any real estate mortgage or deed of trust
granted by the Borrower to the Lender and securing the payment or performance of
any of the Obligations. Nothing contained in any such real estate mortgage or
deed of trust will derogate from any of the rights or remedies of the Lender
under this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement will be read
and construed with the other security documents indicated below in the manner so
indicated.

         6.       Representations and Warranties Concerning Borrower's Legal
Status. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender that Schedule 1 sets
forth (i) the Borrower's exact legal name, (ii) the type of organization of the
Borrower, (iii) the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower, (iv) the
Borrower's organizational identification number, and (iv) the Borrower's place
of business or, if more than one, its chief executive office and mailing
address.
<PAGE>

         7.       Covenants Concerning Borrower's Legal Status. The Borrower
covenants that (i) without providing at least 30 days prior written notice to
the Lender, the Borrower will not change its name, places of business, chief
executive office, mailing address or organizational identification number, (ii)
if the Borrower does not have an organizational identification number and later
obtains one, the Borrower will promptly notify the Lender of such organizational
identification number, and (iii) the Borrower will not change its type of
organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure.

         8.       Representations and Warranties Concerning Collateral.

                  8.1      General. The Borrower represents and warrants to the
         Lender that: (i) the Borrower is the owner of the Collateral, free from
         any Lien except for Permitted Liens, (ii) none of the Collateral
         constitutes, or is the proceeds of, "farm products" as defined in
         Section 9-102(a)(34) of the UCC, (iii) none of the account debtors or
         other persons obligated on any of the Collateral is a governmental
         authority subject to the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any
         similar federal, state or local statute or rule in respect of such
         Collateral, (iv) the Borrower holds no commercial tort claim except as
         indicated in Schedule 1, (v) the Borrower has at all times operated its
         business in compliance with all applicable provisions of the federal
         Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, and with all applicable
         provisions of federal, state and local statutes and ordinances dealing
         with the control, shipment, storage or disposal of hazardous materials
         or substances and (vi) all other information set forth in Schedule 1
         pertaining to the Collateral is accurate and complete.

                  8.2      Intellectual Property. The Copyrights, Patents and
         Trademarks listed on the respective schedules to each of the Copyright
         Security Agreement, Patent Security Agreement and Trademark Security
         Agreement constitute all of the federally registered Intellectual
         Property owned by the Borrower. All Intellectual Property owned by the
         Borrower is valid, subsisting and enforceable and all filings necessary
         to maintain the effectiveness of such registrations have been made.
         Except for Permitted Liens, the Borrower is the sole and exclusive
         owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and interest in and
         to all Intellectual Property purported to be owned by the Borrower,
         free and clear of any Liens, including without limitation licenses and
         covenants by the Borrower not to sue third persons. The Borrower has no
         notice of any suits or actions commenced or threatened with reference
         to any Intellectual Property owned or used by the Borrower. The
         execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Borrower
         will not violate or cause a default under any Intellectual Property
         owned or used by the Borrower or any agreement in connection therewith.

         9.       Covenants Concerning Collateral. The Borrower covenants that
(i) the Collateral, to the extent not delivered to the Lender pursuant to
Section 4, will be kept at the locations listed on Schedule 1, and the Borrower
will not remove the Collateral from such locations, without providing at least
30 days prior written notice to the Lender, (ii) except for the security
interest herein granted and Permitted Liens, the Borrower will be the owner of
the Collateral free from any Lien, and the Borrower will defend the Collateral
against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the
Collateral or any interests therein adverse to the Lender, (iii)
<PAGE>

except for Permitted Liens, the Borrower will not pledge, mortgage or create, or
suffer to exist a security interest in the Collateral in favor of any person
other than the Lender, (iv) the Borrower will keep the Collateral in good order
and repair and will not use the Collateral in violation of law or any policy of
insurance thereon, (v) the Borrower will permit the Lender, or any designee, to
inspect the Collateral at any reasonable time, wherever located, (vi) the
Borrower will pay promptly when due all taxes, assessments, governmental charges
and levies upon the Collateral or incurred in connection with the use or
operation of such Collateral or incurred in connection with this Agreement,
(vii) the Borrower will operate its business in compliance with all applicable
provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, and with all
applicable provisions of federal, state and local statutes and ordinances
dealing with the control, shipment, storage or disposal of hazardous materials
or substances and (viii) the Borrower will not sell or otherwise dispose, or
offer to sell or otherwise dispose, of the Collateral or any interest therein
except for sales of obsolete Collateral or sales inventory in the ordinary
course of business.

         10.      Insurance. The Borrower will maintain insurance in such
amounts and coverages as required by the Purchase Agreement. All policies of
insurance will be payable to the Lender as loss payee (or, in the case of
liability insurance, list the Lender as an additional insured, except where the
Lender cannot legally be named as an additional insured) and will provide for at
least 30 days prior written cancellation notice to the Lender. In the event of
failure by the Borrower to provide and maintain insurance as required by this
Section, the Lender may, at its option, provide such insurance and charge the
amount thereof to the Borrower. The Borrower will furnish the Lender with
certificates of insurance and policies evidencing compliance with the foregoing
insurance provision.

         11.      Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.

                  11.1     Expenses Incurred by Lender. In its discretion, the
         Lender may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or
         placed on any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any
         necessary filing fees or, if the Borrower fails to do so, insurance
         premiums. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender on demand for any
         and all expenditures so made. The Lender will have no obligation to the
         Borrower to make any such expenditures, nor will the making thereof
         relieve the Borrower of any default.

                  11.2     Lender's Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to
         the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower will remain liable under
         each contract or agreement included within the Collateral to be
         observed or performed by the Borrower thereunder. The Lender will not
         have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement
         by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the
         Lender of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor will the
         Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of
         the Borrower under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to
         make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by
         the Lender in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any
         performance by any party under any such contract or agreement. The
         Lender will not have any obligation to present or file any claim or to
         take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the
<PAGE>

         payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Lender or to
         which the Lender may be entitled at any time or times. The Lender's
         sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical
         preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207
         of the UCC or otherwise, will be to deal with such Collateral in the
         same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own
         account.

         12.      Securities and Deposits. The Lender may, at any time following
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to
the Lender or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any
income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the
Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Lender may, following
and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, sue for, collect, or
make any settlement or compromise which they deem desirable with respect to the
Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for
the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from
the Lender to the Borrower may at any time be applied to or set off against any
of the Obligations.

         13.      Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on
Collateral. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Borrower will,
at the request of the Lender, notify account debtors and other persons obligated
on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Lender and that payment
thereof is to be made directly to the Lender, and the Lender may, without notice
to or demand upon the Borrower, so notify account debtors and other persons
obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any
such notification, the Borrower will hold any proceeds of collection of
accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral
received by the Borrower as trustee for the Lender without commingling the same
with other funds of the Borrower and will turn the same over to the Lender in
the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or
assignments.

         14.      Power of Attorney.

                  14.1     Appointment and Powers of Secured Party. The Borrower
         irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or
         agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
         attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the
         place and stead of the Borrower or in the Lender's own name, for the
         purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and
         all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
         instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the
         purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the
         foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf
         of the Borrower, without notice to or assent by the Borrower, to do the
         following:

                           (a)      upon the occurrence and during the
                  continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell,
                  transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or
                  otherwise deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is
                  consistent with the UCC and as fully and completely as though
                  the Lender was the absolute owners thereof for all purposes,
                  and to do at the Borrower's expense, at any time, or from time
                  to time, all acts and things which the Lender deems necessary
                  to protect,
<PAGE>

                  preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender's
                  security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of
                  this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Borrower
                  might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and
                  prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the
                  appropriate federal or local agencies or authorities with
                  respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions
                  and processes, (ii) upon written notice to the Borrower, the
                  exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities,
                  which rights may be exercised, if the Lender so elects, with a
                  view to causing the liquidation in a commercially reasonable
                  manner of assets of the issuer of any such securities and
                  (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection
                  with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the
                  endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance
                  or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

                           (b)      to the extent that the Borrower's
                  authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file
                  such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without
                  the Borrower's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in
                  substitution for a financing statement, as the Lender may deem
                  appropriate and to execute and/or file in the Borrower's name
                  such financing statements and amendments thereto and
                  continuation statements which may require the Borrower's
                  signature.

                  14.2.    Ratification by the Borrower. To the extent permitted
         by law, the Borrower ratifies all that any such attorneys lawfully do
         or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power
         coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

                  14.3.    No Duty on Lender. The powers conferred on the Lender
         hereunder is solely to protect the Lender's interests in the Collateral
         and do not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers.
         The Lender will be accountable only for the amounts that it actually
         receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor
         any of its officers, directors, employees or agents will be responsible
         to the Borrower for any act or failure to act, except for the Lender's
         own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         15.      Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Lender may, without notice to or demand upon the Borrower, declare this
Agreement to be in default, and the Lender will thereafter have in any
jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other
rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or
the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction in which the Collateral is
located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the
Collateral, and for that purpose the Lender may, so far as the Borrower can give
authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be
situated and remove the same therefrom. The Lender may in its discretion require
the Borrower to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or
locations within the jurisdictions of the Borrower's principal office or at such
other locations as the Lender may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is
perishable or threatens to decline rapidly in value or is of a type customarily
sold on a recognized market, the Lender will give to the Borrower at least ten
business days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale
<PAGE>

of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition is to be made. The Borrower acknowledges that ten business days
prior written notice of such sale or sales is reasonable notice. In addition,
the Borrower waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in
advance of the enforcement of any of the Lender's rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the right following an Event of Default to take immediate
possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto.

         16.      Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that
applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is
not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account
debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any
adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through
the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to
contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrower, for
expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii)
to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to
dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction
of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to
dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to
insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral
or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the
Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of
any of the Collateral. The Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this
Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by
the Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the Lender's exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Lender will not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not
being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Section will be construed to grant any rights to the Borrower
or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or
imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

         17.      No Waiver by Lender. The Lender will not be deemed to have
waived any of its rights hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed
by the Lender or Lenders representing at least 50% of the unpaid principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (the "Requisite Lenders"). Any
consent, notice, request, demand or waiver required or permitted to be given by
the Lender by any provision hereof will be sufficient and binding on all Lenders
if
<PAGE>

given in writing by the Requisite Lenders at the time outstanding. No delay or
omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right will operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion will not
be construed as a waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and
remedies of the Lender with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral,
whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, will be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or
concurrently at such time or at such times as the Lender deems expedient.

         18.      Suretyship Waivers by the Borrower. The Borrower waives
demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans
made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in
reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With
respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Borrower assents to any
extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest
in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily
or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the
settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at
such time or times as the Lender may deem advisable. The Lender will have no
duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon,
nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the
preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as
set forth in Section 11.2. The Borrower further waives any and all other
suretyship defenses.

         19.      Marshaling. The Lender will not be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including but not limited to this
Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the
Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other
assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder
and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment will
be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
To the extent that it lawfully may, the Borrower agrees that it will not invoke
any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or
impede the enforcement of the Lender's rights under this Agreement or under any
other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which
any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is
secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
lawfully may, the Borrower irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

         20.      Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The Borrower will pay to
the Lender on demand all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred or paid by the Lender in protecting, preserving or
enforcing the Lender's rights under or in respect of any of the Obligations or
any of the Collateral. After deducting all of such expenses, the residue of any
proceeds of collection or sale of the Obligations or Collateral will, to the
extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations
in such order or preference as the Lender may determine, proper allowance and
provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment
and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments
required by Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, any excess will be
returned to the Borrower, and the Borrower will remain liable for any deficiency
in the payment of the Obligations.
<PAGE>

         21.      Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by
the Borrower hereunder will be a debt secured by the Collateral and will bear,
whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest set forth in
the Note issued under the Purchase Agreement.

         22.      Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and enforced
in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Minnesota without giving
effect to the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdiction.

         23.      Notices. All notices, consents, requests, instructions,
approvals and other communications required by this Agreement will be made in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

         24.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained
herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties, covenants, or
undertakings, other than those expressly provided for herein. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.

         25.      Severability of Invalid Provision. If any one or more covenant
or agreement provided in this Agreement is contrary to law, then such covenant
or agreement will be null and void and will in no way affect the validity of the
other provisions of this Agreement, which will otherwise be fully effective and
enforceable.

         26.      Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns, including one or more future holders of the Notes; provided,
however, that the Borrower may not assign any of its obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Lender.

         27.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been
signed by each of the parties.

         28.      Consent to Jurisdiction. AT THE OPTION OF THE LENDER, THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OR MINNESOTA STATE COURT SITTING
IN HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA, AND THE BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND
VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT
CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT THE BORROWER COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER
JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR ALLEGING ANY
BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LENDER AT ITS OPTION IS ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE
TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES DESCRIBED ABOVE, OR IF SUCH
TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE
DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
<PAGE>

         29.      Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

         30.      Subordination. This Agreement is subject to the Senior
Subordination Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Until the Senior
Indebtedness (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has been paid in full, to
the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Senior
Subordination Agreement, the terms of the Senior Subordination Agreement will
control.

                                    * * * * *

including without limitation all goods (including inventory, equipment and any

accounts (including health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether
tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or

others or others possess, use or have authority to possess or use property

kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording including, without
limitation, all software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics;
provided, however, that, to the extent the grant by the Guarantor of a security
interest pursuant to this Agreement in any Intellectual Property licensed by the
Guarantor is prohibited by the terms of such license, then a security interest
in such licensed Intellectual Property will not be granted pursuant to this
Agreement; and provided, further, that any such licensed Intellectual Property

Agreement immediately upon the acquisition of all necessary consents to such
grant. The Lender acknowledges that the attachment of its security interest in
any commercial tort claim as original collateral is subject to the Guarantor's
compliance with Section 4.6.

         3.       Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Guarantor
irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time and from time to time to file in
any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that
(i) indicate the Collateral (A) as all assets of the Guarantor or words of
similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the
Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
such jurisdiction, or (B) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater
detail, and (ii) contain any other information required by Article 9 of the UCC.
The Guarantor agrees to furnish any such information to the Lender promptly upon
request. The Guarantor also ratifies its authorization for the Lender to have
filed in any jurisdiction any similar initial financing statements or amendments
thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

         4.       Other Actions. To further insure the attachment, perfection
and priority of, and the ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender's security
interest in the Collateral, the Guarantor agrees, in each case at the
Guarantor's own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the
following Collateral, but subject to the terms of the Senior Subordination
Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement):

                  4.1      Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper. If the
         Guarantor at any time holds or acquires any promissory notes or
         tangible chattel paper, the Guarantor will promptly endorse, assign and
         deliver the same to the Lender, accompanied by such instruments of
         transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Lender may from
         time to time specify.

                  4.2      Deposit Accounts. For each deposit account that the
         Guarantor at any time opens or maintains, the Guarantor will, at the
         Lender's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and
         substance satisfactory to the Lender, during the existence of an Event
         of Default, cause the depositary bank to agree to comply at any time
         with instructions from the Lender to such depositary bank directing the
         disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit
         account, without further consent of the Guarantor.

                  4.3      Investment Property.
<PAGE>

                           (a)      If the Guarantor at any time holds or
                  acquires any certificated securities, the Guarantor will
                  promptly endorse, assign and deliver the securities to the
                  Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or
                  assignment duly executed in blank as the Lender may from time
                  to time specify.

                           (b)      If any securities now or hereafter acquired
                  by the Guarantor are uncertificated and are issued to the
                  Guarantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, the
                  Guarantor will immediately notify the Lender thereof and, at
                  the Lender's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in
                  form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, either (i)
                  cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the
                  Lender as to such securities, without further consent of the
                  Guarantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Lender to
                  become the registered owner of the securities.

                           (c)      If any securities, whether certificated or
                  uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter
                  acquired by the Guarantor are held by the Guarantor or its
                  nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
                  intermediary, the Guarantor will immediately notify the Lender
                  thereof and, at the Lender's request and option, pursuant to
                  an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender,
                  either (i) cause such securities intermediary or commodity
                  intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or
                  other instructions from the Lender to such securities
                  intermediary as to such securities or other investment
                  property, or to apply any value distributed on account of any
                  commodity contract as directed by the Lender to such commodity
                  intermediary, in each case without further consent of the
                  Guarantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial
                  assets or other investment property held through a securities
                  intermediary, arrange for the Lender to become the entitlement
                  holder with respect to such investment property, with the
                  Guarantor being permitted, only with the consent of the
                  Lender, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with
                  such investment property.

                  4.4      Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any
         goods are at any time in the possession of a bailee, the Guarantor will
         promptly notify the Lender thereof. If requested by the Lender, the
         Guarantor will promptly obtain an acknowledgment from the bailee, in
         form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, that the bailee holds
         such Collateral for the benefit of the Lender and that the bailee will
         act upon the instructions of the Lender, without the further consent of
         the Guarantor.

                  4.4.     Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records.
         The Guarantor will promptly notify the Lender if the Guarantor at any
         time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or
         any "transferable record," as that term is defined in Section 201 of
         the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act
         (the "Electronic Signatures Act"), or in Section 16 of the Uniform
         Electronic Transactions Act (the "Electronic Transactions Act") as in
         effect in any relevant jurisdiction. At the request of the Lender, the
         Guarantor will take such action as the Lender may reasonably request to
         vest in the Lender control of (i) such electronic chattel
<PAGE>

         paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or (ii) such transferable record
         under Section 201 of the Electronic Signatures Act or Section 16 of the
         Electronic Transactions Act, as applicable.

                  4.5      Letter-of-credit Rights. If the Guarantor is at any
         time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in
         favor of the Guarantor, the Guarantor will promptly notify the Lender
         thereof and, at the request and option of the Lender, the Guarantor
         will, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
         the Lender, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such
         letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Lender of the
         proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for
         the Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of
         credit.

                  4.6      Commercial Tort Claims. If the Guarantor at any time
         holds or acquires a commercial tort claim, the Guarantor will
         immediately notify the Lender in a writing signed by the Guarantor of
         the brief details thereof and grant to the Lender in such writing a
         security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the
         terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Lender.

                  4.7      Intellectual Property.

                           (a)      The Guarantor will concurrently herewith
                  deliver to the Lender each Copyright Security Agreement,
                  Patent Security Agreement and Trademark Security Agreement and
                  all other documents, instruments and other items as may be
                  necessary for the Lender to file such agreements with the U.S.
                  Copyright Office and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as
                  applicable.

                           (b)      In the event the Guarantor acquires or
                  becomes entitled to any new or additional Intellectual
                  Property, or rights thereto, the Guarantor will give prompt
                  written notice thereof to the Lender, and will amend (and
                  authorizes the Lender to amend) the schedules to the
                  respective security agreements or enter into new or additional
                  security agreements to include any such new or additional
                  Intellectual Property. The Guarantor acknowledges that receipt
                  of a true, correct and complete copy of the Acquisition
                  Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) will
                  constitute notice under this Section of the Intellectual
                  Property being acquired by the Guarantor pursuant to the
                  Acquisition Agreement.

                           (c)      The Guarantor will preserve and maintain all
                  rights in the Intellectual Property. The Guarantor will use
                  commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents,
                  waivers or agreements necessary to enable the Lender to
                  exercise its remedies with respect any and all Intellectual
                  Property.

                           (d)      The Guarantor will not abandon any material
                  pending Intellectual Property application or material
                  registered Intellectual Property.
<PAGE>

                           (e)      The Guarantor will not take any action or
                  permit any action to be taken by others subject to its
                  control, including licensees, or fail to take any action which
                  would affect the validity or enforcement of the rights granted
                  to the Lender under this Agreement.

                           (f)      The Guarantor assigns, transfers and conveys
                  to the Lender all Intellectual Property owned or used by the
                  Guarantor to the extent necessary to enable the Lender,
                  effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to
                  realize on the Collateral and any successor or assign to enjoy
                  the benefits of the Collateral. This right and assignment will
                  inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, assigns
                  and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of
                  law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of
                  foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and assignment is granted
                  free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment
                  whatsoever including, without limitation, any royalty or
                  license fee, be made to the Guarantor or any other Person by
                  the Lender or any other Person.

                  4.8      Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. The
         Guarantor agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the
         Lender to insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the
         ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender's security interest in any
         and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (i) executing,
         delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and
         amendments relating thereto under the UCC, (ii) causing the Lender's
         names to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a
         titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection
         or priority of, or ability of the Lender to enforce, the Lender's
         security interest in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any
         provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as
         to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to
         attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Lender to
         enforce, the Lender's security interest in such Collateral, (iv)
         obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals,
         including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or
         other person obligated on Collateral, (v) obtaining waivers from
         mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Lender and (vi) taking all actions required by any earlier versions of
         the UCC or by other law, as applicable in any jurisdiction, or by other
         law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.

         5.       Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this
Agreement supplement the provisions of any real estate mortgage or deed of trust
granted by the Guarantor to the Lender and securing the payment or performance
of any of the Obligations. Nothing contained in any such real estate mortgage or
deed of trust will derogate from any of the rights or remedies of the Lender
under this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement will be read
and construed with the other security documents indicated below in the manner so
indicated.

         6.       Representations and Warranties Concerning Guarantor's Legal
Status. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that Schedule 1 sets
forth (i) the Guarantor's exact legal name, (ii) the type of organization of the
Guarantor, (iii) the jurisdiction of
<PAGE>

organization of the Guarantor, (iv) the Guarantor's organizational
identification number, and (iv) the Guarantor's place of business or, if more
than one, its chief executive office and mailing address.

         7.       Covenants Concerning Guarantor's Legal Status. The Guarantor
covenants that (i) without providing at least 30 days prior written notice to
the Lender, the Guarantor will not change its name, places of business, chief
executive office, mailing address or organizational identification number, (ii)
if the Guarantor does not have an organizational identification number and later
obtains one, the Guarantor will promptly notify the Lender of such
organizational identification number, and (iii) the Guarantor will not change
its type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure.

         8.       Representations and Warranties Concerning Collateral.

                  8.1      General. The Guarantor represents and warrants to the
         Lender that: (i) the Guarantor is the owner of the Collateral, free
         from any Lien except for Permitted Liens, (ii) none of the Collateral

         other persons obligated on any of the Collateral is a governmental

         Collateral, (iv) the Guarantor holds no commercial tort claim except as

         federal Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, and with all applicable
         provisions of federal, state and local statutes and ordinances dealing
         with the control, shipment, storage or disposal of hazardous materials
         or substances and (vi) all other information set forth in Schedule 1
         pertaining to the Collateral is accurate and complete.

                  8.2      Intellectual Property. The Copyrights, Patents and
         Trademarks listed on the respective schedules to each of the Copyright
         Security Agreement, Patent Security Agreement and Trademark Security
         Agreement constitute all of the federally registered Intellectual
         Property owned by the Guarantor. All Intellectual Property owned by the
         Guarantor is valid, subsisting and enforceable and all filings
         necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such registrations have been
         made. Except for Permitted Liens, the Guarantor is the sole and
         exclusive owner of the entire and unencumbered right, title and
         interest in and to all Intellectual Property purported to be owned by
         the Guarantor, free and clear of any Liens, including without
         limitation licenses and covenants by the Guarantor not to sue third
         persons. The Guarantor has no notice of any suits or actions commenced
         or threatened with reference to any Intellectual Property owned or used
         by the Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of this
         Agreement by the Guarantor will not violate or cause a default under
         any Intellectual Property owned or used by the Guarantor or any
         agreement in connection therewith.

         9.       Covenants Concerning Collateral. The Guarantor covenants that
(i) the Collateral, to the extent not delivered to the Lender pursuant to
Section 4, will be kept at the locations listed on Schedule 1, and the Guarantor
will not remove the Collateral from such
<PAGE>

locations, without providing at least 30 days prior written notice to the
Lender, (ii) except for the security interest herein granted and Permitted
Liens, the Guarantor will be the owner of the Collateral free from any Lien, and
the Guarantor will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all
persons at any time claiming the Collateral or any interests therein adverse to
the Lender, (iii) except for Permitted Liens, the Guarantor will not pledge,
mortgage or create, or suffer to exist a security interest in the Collateral in
favor of any person other than the Lender, (iv) the Guarantor will keep the
Collateral in good order and repair and will not use the Collateral in violation
of law or any policy of insurance thereon, (v) the Guarantor will permit the
Lender, or any designee, to inspect the Collateral at any reasonable time,
wherever located, (vi) the Guarantor will pay promptly when due all taxes,
assessments, governmental charges and levies upon the Collateral or incurred in
connection with the use or operation of such Collateral or incurred in
connection with this Agreement, (vii) the Guarantor will operate its business in
compliance with all applicable provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards
Act, as amended, and with all applicable provisions of federal, state and local
statutes and ordinances dealing with the control, shipment, storage or disposal
of hazardous materials or substances and (viii) the Guarantor will not sell or
otherwise dispose, or offer to sell or otherwise dispose, of the Collateral or
any interest therein except for sales of obsolete Collateral or sales inventory
in the ordinary course of business.

         10.      Insurance. The Guarantor will maintain insurance in such
amounts and coverages as required by the Purchase Agreement. All policies of
insurance will be payable to the Lender as loss payee (or, in the case of
liability insurance, list the Lender as an additional insured, except where the
Lender cannot legally be named as an additional insured) and will provide for at
least 30 days prior written cancellation notice to the Lender. In the event of
failure by the Guarantor to provide and maintain insurance as required by this
Section, the Lender may, at its option, provide such insurance and charge the
amount thereof to the Guarantor. The Guarantor will furnish the Lender with
certificates of insurance and policies evidencing compliance with the foregoing
insurance provision.

         11.      Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.

                  11.1     Expenses Incurred by Lender. In its discretion, the
         Lender may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or
         placed on any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any
         necessary filing fees or, if the Guarantor fails to do so, insurance
         premiums. The Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Lender on demand for
         any and all expenditures so made. The Lender will have no obligation to
         the Guarantor to make any such expenditures, nor will the making
         thereof relieve the Guarantor of any default.

                  11.2     Lender's Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to
         the contrary notwithstanding, the Guarantor will remain liable under
         each contract or agreement included within the Collateral to be
         observed or performed by the Guarantor thereunder. The Lender will not
         have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement
         by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the
         Lender of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor will the
         Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of
         the Guarantor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to
         make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by
         the Lender in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any
         performance by any party under any such contract or
<PAGE>

         agreement. The Lender will not have any obligation to present or file
         any claim or to take any action to enforce any performance or to
         collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the
         Lender or to which the Lender may be entitled at any time or times. The
         Lender's sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and
         physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
         Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, will be to deal with such
         Collateral in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property
         for its own account.

         12.      Securities and Deposits. The Lender may, at any time following
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to
the Lender or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any
income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the
Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, the Lender may, following
and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, sue for, collect, or
make any settlement or compromise which they deem desirable with respect to the
Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for
the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from
the Lender to the Guarantor may at any time be applied to or set off against any
of the Obligations.

         13.      Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on
Collateral. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Guarantor will,
at the request of the Lender, notify account debtors and other persons obligated
on any of the Collateral of the security interest of the Lender and that payment
thereof is to be made directly to the Lender, and the Lender may, without notice
to or demand upon the Guarantor, so notify account debtors and other persons
obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any
such notification, the Guarantor will hold any proceeds of collection of
accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral
received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Lender without commingling the same
with other funds of the Guarantor and will turn the same over to the Lender in
the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or
assignments.

         14.      Power of Attorney.

                  14.1     Appointment and Powers of Secured Party. The
         Guarantor irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any
         officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true
         and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority
         in the place and stead of the Guarantor or in the Lender's own name,
         for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take
         any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
         instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the
         purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the
         foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf
         of the Guarantor, without notice to or assent by the Guarantor, to do
         the following:

                           (a)      upon the occurrence and during the
                  continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell,
                  transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or
<PAGE>

                  otherwise deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is
                  consistent with the UCC and as fully and completely as though
                  the Lender was the absolute owners thereof for all purposes,
                  and to do at the Guarantor's expense, at any time, or from
                  time to time, all acts and things which the Lender deems
                  necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral
                  and the Lender's security interest therein, in order to effect
                  the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
                  the Guarantor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the
                  filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer
                  applications with the appropriate federal or local agencies or
                  authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and
                  patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice
                  to the Guarantor, the exercise of voting rights with respect
                  to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if the
                  Lender so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation in a
                  commercially reasonable manner of assets of the issuer of any
                  such securities and (iii) the execution, delivery and
                  recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of
                  any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other
                  instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such
                  Collateral; and

                           (b)      to the extent that the Guarantor's
                  authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file
                  such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without
                  the Guarantor's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in
                  substitution for a financing statement, as the Lender may deem
                  appropriate and to execute and/or file in the Guarantor's name
                  such financing statements and amendments thereto and
                  continuation statements which may require the Guarantor's
                  signature.

                  14.2.    Ratification by the Guarantor. To the extent
         permitted by law, the Guarantor ratifies all that any such attorneys
         lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of
         attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

                  14.3.    No Duty on Lender. The powers conferred on the Lender
         hereunder is solely to protect the Lender's interests in the Collateral
         and do not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers.
         The Lender will be accountable only for the amounts that it actually
         receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither it nor
         any of its officers, directors, employees or agents will be responsible
         to the Guarantor for any act or failure to act, except for the Lender's
         own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         15.      Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Lender may, without notice to or demand upon the Guarantor, declare this
Agreement to be in default, and the Lender will thereafter have in any
jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other
rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or
the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction in which the Collateral is
located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the
Collateral, and for that purpose the Lender may, so far as the Guarantor can
give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be
situated and remove the same therefrom. The Lender may in its discretion require
the Guarantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or
locations

<PAGE>

within the jurisdictions of the Guarantor's principal office or at such other
locations as the Lender may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is
perishable or threatens to decline rapidly in value or is of a type customarily
sold on a recognized market, the Lender will give to the Guarantor at least ten
business days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of
Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition is to be made. The Guarantor acknowledges that ten business days
prior written notice of such sale or sales is reasonable notice. In addition,
the Guarantor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing
in advance of the enforcement of any of the Lender's rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the right following an Event of Default to take
immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect
thereto.

         16.      Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that
applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is
not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account
debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any
adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through
the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to
advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to
contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Guarantor, for
expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii)
to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to
dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction
of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to
dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim
disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to
insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral
or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the
Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of
any of the Collateral. The Guarantor acknowledges that the purpose of this
Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by
the Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the Lender's exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the
Lender will not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not
being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Section will be construed to grant any rights to the Guarantor
or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or
imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

<PAGE>

         17.      No Waiver by Lender. The Lender will not be deemed to have
waived any of its rights hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed
by the Lender or Lenders representing at least 50% of the unpaid principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (the "Requisite Lenders"). Any
consent, notice, request, demand or waiver required or permitted to be given by
the Lender by any provision hereof will be sufficient and binding on all Lenders
if given in writing by the Requisite Lenders at the time outstanding. No delay
or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right will operate as a
waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion will not
be construed as a waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and
remedies of the Lender with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral,
whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, will be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or
concurrently at such time or at such times as the Lender deems expedient.

         18.      Suretyship Waivers by the Guarantor. The Guarantor waives
demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans
made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in
reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With
respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, the Guarantor assents to any
extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest
in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily
or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the
settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at
such time or times as the Lender may deem advisable. The Lender will have no
duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon,
nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the
preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as
set forth in Section 11.2. The Guarantor further waives any and all other
suretyship defenses.

         19.      Marshaling. The Lender will not be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security (including but not limited to this
Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the
Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other
assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder
and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment will
be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
To the extent that it lawfully may, the Guarantor agrees that it will not invoke
any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or
impede the enforcement of the Lender's rights under this Agreement or under any
other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which
any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is
secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
lawfully may, the Guarantor irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

         20.      Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. The Guarantor will pay to
the Lender on demand all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred or paid by the Lender in protecting, preserving or
enforcing the Lender's rights under or in respect of any of the Obligations or
any of the Collateral. After deducting all of such expenses, the residue of any
proceeds of collection or sale of the Obligations or Collateral will, to the
extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations
in such order or preference as the Lender

<PAGE>

may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not
then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the
Obligations and after making any payments required by Section 9-608(a)(1)(C) or
9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, any excess will be returned to the Guarantor, and the
Guarantor will remain liable for any deficiency in the payment of the
Obligations.

         21.      Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by
the Guarantor hereunder will be a debt secured by the Collateral and will bear,
whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest set forth in
the Note issued under the Purchase Agreement.

         22.      Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and enforced
in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Minnesota without giving
effect to the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdiction.

         23.      Notices. All notices, consents, requests, instructions,
approvals and other communications required by this Agreement will be made in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

         24.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained
herein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties, covenants, or
undertakings, other than those expressly provided for herein. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.

         25.      Severability of Invalid Provision. If any one or more covenant
or agreement provided in this Agreement is contrary to law, then such covenant
or agreement will be null and void and will in no way affect the validity of the
other provisions of this Agreement, which will otherwise be fully effective and
enforceable.

         26.      Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns, including one or more future holders of the Notes; provided,
however, that the Guarantor may not assign any of its obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Lender.

         27.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been
signed by each of the parties.

         28.      Consent to Jurisdiction. AT THE OPTION OF THE LENDER, THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OR MINNESOTA STATE COURT SITTING
IN HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA, AND THE GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION
AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS
NOT CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT THE GUARANTOR COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER
JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS

<PAGE>

AGREEMENT, OR ALLEGING ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LENDER AT ITS OPTION IS
ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES
DESCRIBED ABOVE, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE
LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

         29.      Waiver of Jury Trial. THE GUARANTOR WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

         30.      Subordination. This Agreement is subject to the Senior
Subordination Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Until the Senior
Indebtedness (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has been paid in full, to
the extent of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Senior
Subordination Agreement, the terms of the Senior Subordination Agreement will
control.

                                    * * * * *

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed by the
parties hereto on the day and year first above written.

                                    GUARANTY

         This Guaranty (the "Guaranty") is made as of August 25, 2003 by each of
the parties signatory hereto (each individually the "Guarantor" and collectively
the "Guarantors") to and for the benefit of Bayview Capital Partners LP, a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Beneficiary").

                                   BACKGROUND

         A.       The Beneficiary has agreed to purchase a secured senior
subordinated note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Bridge
Note") issued by Health Fitness Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the
"Debtor"), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof by
and among the Debtor, the Beneficiary and the Guarantors (as it may hereafter be
amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Purchase Agreement").
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Bridge Note may be
exchanged for the Long Term Note, the Preferred Shares and the Warrant (each as
defined in the Purchase Agreement).

         B.       The Guarantor, as a direct or an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Debtor, will benefit from the transactions described in the
Purchase Agreement.

         C.       The Beneficiary is willing to extend such credit to the Debtor
on the condition that the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty to the
Beneficiary.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.       The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the
         Beneficiary the payment and performance of each and every debt,
         liability and obligation of every type and description which the Debtor
         may now or at any time hereafter owe to the Beneficiary, whether such
         debt, liability, or obligation currently exists or is hereafter created
         or incurred, and whether such debt, liability, or obligation is or may
         be direct or indirect, due or to become due, absolute or contingent,
         primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, joint, several, or
         joint and several (all such debts, liabilities, and obligations are
         collectively referred to herein as the "Obligations").

2.       No act or thing need occur to establish the liability of the Guarantor
         under this Guaranty, and no act or thing, except full payment and
         discharge of all Obligations, will in any way exonerate the Guarantor
         or modify, reduce, limit or release the liability of the Guarantor
         under this Guaranty.

3.       This is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment
         of and performance of the Obligations and will continue to be in force
         and be binding upon the Guarantor until all Obligations are paid in
         full.

<PAGE>

4.       If the Guarantor or the Debtor dissolves (except as permitted by the
         Purchase Agreement) or is or becomes insolvent (however defined), then
         the Beneficiary will have the right to declare immediately due and
         payable, and the Guarantor will forthwith pay to the Beneficiary, the
         full amount of all Obligations, whether due and payable or unmatured.
         If the Guarantor or the Debtor voluntarily commences or there is
         commenced involuntarily against the Guarantor or the Debtor a case
         under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the full amount of all
         Obligations, whether due and payable or unmatured, shall be immediately
         due and payable without demand or notice thereof.

5.       The Guarantor is liable for all Obligations, without any limitation as
         to amount, plus accrued interest thereon and all attorneys' fees,
         collection costs and enforcement expenses referable thereto.

6.       Until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full
         to the Beneficiary, the Guarantor waives and relinquishes any right of
         subrogation or other right of recourse, contribution or reimbursement
         from the Debtor and any other right to payment from the Debtor, arising
         out of or on account of any sums paid or agreed to be paid by the
         Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether any such right is reduced to
         judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured,
         unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured, or unsecured.

7.       The Guarantor will pay or reimburse the Beneficiary for all costs and
         expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses)
         incurred by the Beneficiary in connection with the protection, defense
         or enforcement of this Guaranty in any litigation or bankruptcy or
         insolvency proceedings.

8.       Whether or not any existing relationship between the Guarantor and the
         Debtor has been changed or ended, the Beneficiary may, but is not
         obligated to, enter into transactions resulting in the continuance of
         the Obligations, without any consent or approval by the Guarantor and
         without any notice to the Guarantor. The liability of the Guarantor
         under this Guaranty will not be affected or impaired by any of the
         following acts or things (which the Beneficiary is expressly authorized
         to do, omit or suffer from time to time, without notice to or approval
         by the Guarantor):

         (a)      any acceptance of collateral security, guarantors,
                  accommodation parties, or sureties for any or all Obligations;

         (b)      any one or more extensions or renewals of the Obligations
                  (whether or not for longer than the original period) or any
                  modification of the interest rates, maturities or other
                  contractual terms applicable to any Obligations;

         (c)      any waiver or indulgence granted to the Debtor, any delay or
                  lack of diligence in the enforcement of the Obligations, or
                  any failure to institute proceedings, file a claim, give any
                  required notices or otherwise protect any Obligations;

<PAGE>

         (d)      any full or partial release of, settlement with, or agreement
                  not to sue the Debtor, the Guarantor, or other person liable
                  in respect of any Obligations;

         (e)      any discharge of any evidence of the Obligations or the
                  acceptance of any instrument in renewal thereof or
                  substitution therefor;

         (f)      any failure to obtain collateral security (including rights of
                  setoff) for the Obligations, or to see to the proper or
                  sufficient creation and perfection thereof, or to establish
                  the priority thereof, or to protect, insure, or enforce any
                  collateral security;

         (g)      any foreclosure or enforcement of any collateral security;

         (h)      any transfer of any Obligations or any evidence thereof;

         (i)      any order of application of any payments or credits upon the
                  Obligations; or

         (j)      any election by the Beneficiary under Section 1111(b)(2) of
                  the United States Bankruptcy Code.

9.       The Guarantor waives any and all defenses, claims and discharges of the
         Guarantor, or any other obligor, pertaining to the Obligations, except
         the defense of discharge of payment in full (or the defense of
         discharge in part with respect to any portion of the Obligations
         actually paid). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
         Guarantor will not assert, plead or enforce against the Beneficiary any
         defense of waiver, release, discharge in bankruptcy, statute of
         limitations, res judicata, statute of frauds, anti-deficiency statute,
         fraud, incapacity, minority, usury, illegality, or unenforceability
         which may be available to the Guarantor or any other person liable in
         respect of any Obligations, or any setoff available against any
         Beneficiary to the Guarantor or any other person, whether or not on
         account of a related trans-action. The Guarantor expressly agrees that
         the Guarantor is and will remain liable for any deficiency remaining
         after foreclosure of any mortgage or security interest securing the
         Obligations, whether or not the liability of the Guarantor or any other
         obligor for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute or
         judicial decision.

10.      The Guarantor waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of
         dishonor or nonpayment, and protest of any instrument evidencing the
         Obligations. Neither Beneficiary is required to first resort for
         payment of the Obligations from the Debtor or any other persons or
         their properties, or first to enforce, realize upon or exhaust any
         collateral security for the Obligations, before enforcing this
         Guaranty.

11.      If any payment applied by the Beneficiary to the Obligations is
         thereafter set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned
         for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy,
         insolvency or reorganization of the Debtor or any other obligor), the
         Obligations to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of
         this Guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding
         such application,

<PAGE>

         and this Guaranty will be enforceable as to such Obligations as fully
         as if such application had never been made.

12.      The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty is in addition to
         and shall be cumulative with all other liabilities of the Guarantor to
         the Beneficiary as the Guarantor or otherwise, without any limitation
         as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating
         such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

13.      This Guaranty shall be enforceable against each party signing this
         Guaranty, even if only one party signs and regardless of the failure of
         any other party to sign this Guaranty. If there is more than one signer
         of this Guaranty, all agreements and promises herein shall be construed
         to be, and are hereby declared to be, joint and several in each and
         every particular and shall be fully binding upon and enforceable
         against each of the Guarantors. This Guaranty shall be effective upon
         delivery to the Beneficiary, without further act, condition or
         acceptance by any Beneficiary, shall be binding upon the Guarantor and
         the successors and assigns of the Guarantor and shall inure to the
         benefit of each Beneficiary and its participants, successors and
         assigns. Any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
         application of this Guaranty shall not affect other lawful provisions
         and application hereof, and to this end the provisions of this Guaranty
         are declared to be severable. This Guaranty may not be waived,
         modified, amended, terminated, released or otherwise changed except by
         a writing signed by the Guarantor and each Beneficiary. This Guaranty
         shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard
         to conflict of law principles of any jurisdiction. The Guarantor waives
         notice of the Beneficiary's acceptance hereof.

14.      AT THE OPTION OF THE BENEFICIARY, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY
         FEDERAL COURT OR MINNESOTA STATE COURT SITTING IN HENNEPIN COUNTY, AND
         EACH GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT
         AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT CONVENIENT. IN
         THE EVENT ANY GUARANTOR COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR
         VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
         FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS GUARANTY, OR ALLEGING ANY BREACH
         OF THIS GUARANTY, THE BENEFICIARY AT ITS OPTION IS ENTITLED TO HAVE THE
         CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES DESCRIBED
         ABOVE, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW,
         TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

15.      EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED
         ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS GUARANTY.

                                    * * * * *

                  (c)      For purposes of this Section 1, unless the context
         requires otherwise, "distribution" shall mean the transfer of cash or
         property with respect to outstanding shares of stock of any class
         issued by the Corporation, without consideration, whether by way of
         dividend or otherwise, payable other than in Common Stock or other
         securities of the Corporation, or the purchase or redemption of shares
         of the Corporation (other than redemptions in liquidation or
         dissolution of the Corporation) for cash or property, including any
         such transfer, purchase or redemption by a subsidiary of this
         Corporation.

         3.       Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

                  (a)      In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
         liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders
         of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding
         shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation
         available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment
         shall be made to the holders of Junior Stock, by reason of their
         ownership thereof, an amount equal to the greater of (the "Liquidation
         Preference"):

                           (i)      the Original Issue Price per share plus (A)
                  any accrued but unpaid dividend and plus (B) the following

         distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the
         holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the full

         of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to
         the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of

         class or series of stock entitled to participate in liquidation
         distributions (but excluding the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock),
         then outstanding shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets and

         in accordance with their respective terms.

         4.       Redemption Rights.

                  (a)      Redemption Right of the Holders Upon a Change in
         Control.

                           (i)      Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control
                  (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Requisite Holders
                  shall have the right to have the Corporation redeem all of the
                  shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a per share
                  purchase price equal to the Redemption Price. The Corporation
                  shall give all holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
                  not less than 90 days prior written notice of any Change in
                  Control. In addition, the Corporation shall promptly provide
                  to the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
                  Stock such information concerning the terms of such Change in
                  Control and the value of the assets of the Corporation as may
                  reasonably be requested by the holders of Series A Convertible
                  Preferred Stock in order to assist them in determining whether
                  to make such an election. If the Requisite Holders do not
                  exercise the

<PAGE>

                  redemption right permitted by this Section 4(a), the
                  provisions of Section 6(h) shall apply.

                           (ii)     The Requisite Holders may exercise the
                  redemption right under Section 4(a)(i) above by giving the
                  Corporation written notice of the Requisite Holders' intention
                  to exercise the redemption right. Within 10 days after receipt
                  of such written notice, the Corporation shall give all other
                  holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, if
                  any, written notice of the Corporation's receipt of such
                  written notice. The Corporation's notice must specify (A) the
                  expected date fixed for redemption of the shares under Section
                  4(a)(iii), (B) the Redemption Price, and (C) the location to
                  which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock must
                  be presented and surrendered for redemption.

                           (iii)    The date for the redemption of the Series A
                  Convertible Preferred Stock under this Section 4(a) shall be
                  the date on which the Change in Control giving rise to the
                  redemption right under this Section 4(a) is consummated.
                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such
                  redemption right shall be conditioned upon the consummation of
                  such Change in Control.

                           (iv)     On the date of redemption of the shares, the
                  Corporation shall deliver payment, in same-day funds, to each
                  holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in an amount
                  equal to the aggregate Redemption Price applicable to such
                  holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being
                  redeemed. In the event that the Corporation defaults in its
                  obligation to deliver all or any portion of the Redemption
                  Price, in addition to any other rights or remedies of the
                  holder of shares of Series A Preferred Convertible Stock, the
                  unpaid portion of the Redemption Price will bear interest at
                  the rate of 15% per year, payable monthly in arrears. The
                  Corporation will, upon request of the Requisite Holders,
                  execute and deliver to the holders a promissory note in form
                  and substance satisfactory to the Requisite Holders evidencing
                  such obligation.

                  (b)      Redemption Right of the Lender Holders Upon an Event
         of Default.

                           (i)      Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
                  (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Requisite Lender
                  Holders shall have the right to have the Corporation redeem
                  all of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held
                  by the Lender Holders at a per share purchase price equal to
                  the Redemption Price.

                           (ii)     The Requisite Lender Holders may exercise
                  the redemption right under Section 4(b)(i) above by giving the
                  Corporation written notice of the Requisite Lender Holders'
                  intention to exercise the redemption right. Within 10 days
                  after receipt of such written notice, the Corporation shall
                  give all other Lender Holders, if any, written notice of the
                  Corporation's receipt of such written notice. The
                  Corporation's notice must specify (A) the date fixed for
                  redemption of the shares under Section 4(b)(iii), (B) the
                  Redemption Price, and (C) the

<PAGE>

                  location to which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
                  Stock must be presented and surrendered for redemption.

                           (iii)    The Corporation shall fix a date for the
                  redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock under
                  this Section 4(b), which date must be between 30 and 45 days
                  after receipt of the written notice from the Requisite Lender
                  Holders.

                           (iv)     On the date fixed for redemption of the
                  shares, the Corporation shall deliver payment, in same-day
                  funds, to each Lender Holder in an amount equal to the
                  aggregate Redemption Price applicable to such Lender Holder's
                  shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed.
                  In the event that the Corporation defaults in its obligation
                  to deliver all or any portion of the Redemption Price, in
                  addition to any other rights or remedies of the holder of
                  shares of Series A Preferred Convertible Stock, the unpaid
                  portion of the Redemption Price will bear interest at the rate
                  of 15% per year, payable monthly in arrears. The Corporation
                  will, upon request of the Requisite Lender Holders, execute
                  and deliver to the Lender holders a promissory note in form
                  and substance satisfactory to the Requisite Lender Holders
                  evidencing such obligation.

                  (c)      Redemption Right of the Corporation Upon an Impasse.

                           (i)      Upon the occurrence, and subject to the
                  satisfaction, of all of the following conditions: (A) an
                  Impasse, (B) the closing of the Acquisition / Refinancing
                  Transaction the subject of the Impasse, (C) the complete
                  satisfaction by the Corporation of the Notes under the
                  Purchase Agreement, (D) the making by the Corporation of an
                  irrevocable offer to the Lender Holders to redeem all, and not
                  less than all, of the Warrants and any Conversion Stock then
                  outstanding (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement) at a
                  per share purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value and
                  (E) to the extent such offer is accepted by a Lender Holder,
                  the purchase of such Lender Holder's Warrants and Conversion
                  Stock on the redemption date, the Corporation shall have the
                  right to redeem all but not less than all of the shares of
                  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then held by the Lender
                  Holders at a per share purchase price equal to the Redemption
                  Price.

                           (ii)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
                  Section 4(c)(i), any Lender Holder may (A) refuse the offer
                  made by the Corporation under Section 4(c)(i)(D) above, and
                  (B) elect to convert all or any portion of such Lender
                  Holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into
                  shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 below at any time
                  prior to the consummation of the redemption; in which case
                  such Lender Holder's Warrant and Conversion Stock shall not be
                  subject to the redemption under this Section 4(c).

                           (iii)    The Corporation may exercise the redemption
                  right under Section 4(c)(i) above by giving all Lender Holders
                  written notice of the Corporation's

<PAGE>

                  intention to exercise the redemption right. The Corporation's

                  shares under Section 4(c)(iv), (B) the Redemption Price, and
                  (C) the location to which the shares of Series A Convertible
                  Preferred Stock must be presented and surrendered for
                  redemption.

                           (iv)     The date for the redemption of the Series A
                  Convertible Preferred Stock under this Section 4(c) shall be
                  the date on which the Acquisition / Refinancing Transaction
                  giving rise to the redemption right under this Section 4(c) is
                  consummated.

                           (v)      On the date of redemption of the shares, the
                  Corporation shall deliver payment, in same-day funds, to each
                  Lender Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption
                  Price applicable to such Lender Holder's shares of Series A
                  Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed. In the event that
                  the Corporation defaults in its obligation to deliver all or
                  any portion of the Redemption Price or all or any portion of
                  the purchase price for the Warrant and Conversion Stock being
                  redeemed in connection therewith, in addition to any other
                  rights or remedies of the Lender Holders, the unpaid portion
                  of the Redemption Price and such purchase price will bear
                  interest at the rate of 15% per year, payable monthly in
                  arrears. The Corporation will, upon request of such Requisite
                  Lender Holders, execute and deliver to the Lender Holders a
                  promissory note in form and substance satisfactory to the
                  Requisite Lender Holders evidencing such obligation.

                  (d)      Effect of Redemption. Any Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 4 will be cancelled
         and will not under any circumstances be reissued, sold or transferred
         and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action
         as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock accordingly.

         5.       Voting.

                  (a)      Each holder of outstanding shares of Series A
         Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes
         equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the
         shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder are
         then convertible (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 6
         hereof), at each meeting of shareholders of the Corporation (and
         written actions of stockholders in lieu of meetings) with respect to
         any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Corporation
         for their action or consideration. Except as provided by law, by the
         provisions of Section 5(b) or 5(c) below, holders of Series A
         Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of
         Common Stock as a single class.

                  (b)      The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal the
         preferences, special rights or other powers of the Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the
         Requisite Holders, given in writing or by vote at a meeting,

<PAGE>

         consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class. For
         this purpose, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
         authorization of any shares of capital stock with preference or
         priority over the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as to the right
         to receive either dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation,
         dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect
         adversely the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and the
         authorization of any shares of capital stock on a parity with the
         Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as to the right to receive either
         dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or
         winding up of the Corporation shall also be deemed to affect adversely
         the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

                  (c)      In addition to any other rights provided by law, so
         long any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
         outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the
         affirmative vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders:

                           (i)      Amend or repeal any provision of, or add any
                  provision to, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or
                  By-laws, if such action would adversely affect the
                  preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or the
                  restrictions provided for the benefit of, Series A Convertible
                  Preferred Stock;

                           (ii)     Authorize or issue any new or existing class
                  or classes or series of capital stock having any preference,
                  priority or parity as to dividends or assets superior to or on
                  parity with any such preference or priority of the Series A
                  Preferred Stock, or authorize or issue shares of stock of any
                  class or any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations
                  convertible into or exchangeable for, or having rights to
                  purchase, any shares of stock of the Corporation having any
                  preference, priority or parity as to dividends or assets
                  superior to any such preference or priority of the Series A
                  Convertible Preferred Stock;

                           (iii)    Reclassify any Common Stock or Junior Stock
                  into shares having any preference, priority or on parity as to
                  dividends or assets superior to or on a parity with any such
                  preference or priority of the Series A Convertible Preferred
                  Stock; or

                           (iv)     Pay or declare any dividend or distribution
                  on any shares of its capital stock (except dividends payable
                  solely in shares of Common Stock on account of a stock split),
                  or apply any of its assets to the redemption, retirement,
                  purchase or acquisition, directly or indirectly, through
                  subsidiaries or otherwise, of any shares of its capital stock.

         6.       Optional Conversion. The holders of the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion
Rights"):

                  (a)      Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder
         thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of
         additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such

<PAGE>

         number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is
         determined by dividing $1.00 by the Conversion Price in effect at the
         time of conversion.

                  (b)      Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common
         Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder
         would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to
         such fraction multiplied by the then effective Conversion Price.

                  (c)      Mechanics of Conversion.

                           (i)      In order for a holder of Series A
                  Convertible Preferred Stock to convert shares of Series A
                  Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such
                  holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for
                  such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at the
                  office of the transfer agent for the Series A Convertible
                  Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation
                  if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together
                  with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or
                  any number of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred
                  Stock represented by such certificate or certificates. Such
                  notice shall state such holder's name or the names of the
                  nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or
                  certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If
                  required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for
                  conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written
                  instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to
                  the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his
                  or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of
                  receipt of such certificates and notice by the transfer agent
                  (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own
                  transfer agent) shall be the conversion date ("Conversion
                  Date"). The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after
                  the Conversion Date, issue and deliver at such office to such
                  holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or to his or
                  its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of
                  shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled,
                  together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share.

                           (ii)     The Corporation shall at all times when the
                  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be outstanding,
                  reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
                  stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
                  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its duly
                  authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time
                  be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding
                  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Before taking any action
                  which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price
                  below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock
                  issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred
                  Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which
                  may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that
                  the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and
                  nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted
                  Conversion Price.

<PAGE>

                           (iii)    All shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
                  Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as
                  herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding
                  and all rights with respect to such shares, including the
                  rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall
                  immediately cease and terminate on the Conversion Date, except
                  only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of
                  Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any accrued
                  but unpaid dividends. Any shares of Series A Convertible
                  Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled
                  and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation (without the
                  need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such
                  appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the
                  authorized Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.

                           (iv)     The Corporation shall pay any and all issue
                  and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance
                  or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
                  shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to
                  this Section 5. The Corporation shall not, however, be
                  required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
                  transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of
                  Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of
                  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were
                  registered.

                  (d)      Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuances Below
         Fair Market Value. If the Corporation issues (or, pursuant to Section
         6(d)(iii) below, is deemed to issue) any Common Stock except for
         Excluded Stock for a consideration per share less than the Fair Market
         Value on the date the Corporation fixes the purchase price for such
         Common Stock (excluding stock dividends, subdivisions, split-ups,
         combinations or recapitalizations which are addressed by Sections
         6(e)-(i)), the Conversion Price in effect immediately after each such
         issuance will be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price
         determined by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price immediately
         prior to such issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum
         of the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior
         to such issuance (or deemed issuance) plus the number of shares of
         Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the
         Corporation for such issuance would purchase at such Fair Market Value
         per share, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of
         Common Stock Outstanding immediately after such issuance (or deemed
         issuance), including the shares of Common Stock, if any, deemed to have
         been issued pursuant to Section 6(d)(iii) below.

                  For the purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price
         pursuant to this Section 6(d), the following provisions are applicable:

                           (i)      In the case of the issuance of Common Stock
                  for cash, the consideration is the amount of cash paid for
                  such Common Stock after deducting

<PAGE>

                  any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by the
                  Corporation in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

                           (ii)     In the case of the issuance of Common Stock
                  for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
                  consideration other than cash is the fair value thereof as
                  determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

                           (iii)    In the case of the issuance of (A) options
                  to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, (B)
                  securities, by their terms, convertible into or exchangeable
                  for Common Stock, (C) options to purchase or rights to
                  subscribe for securities, by their terms, convertible into or
                  exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) stock appreciation
                  rights, phantom stock, or other stock-based compensation
                  mechanisms ("SARs"):

                                    (1)      the aggregate maximum number of
                           shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of
                           such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
                           Common Stock or, in the case of SARs, the number of
                           shares of Common Stock upon which the value of the
                           SARs are based, shall be deemed to have been issued
                           at the time such options or rights were issued and
                           for a consideration equal to the consideration
                           (determined in the manner provided in subdivisions
                           (i) and (ii) above of this Section 6(d)), if any,
                           received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such
                           options or rights plus the minimum purchase price
                           provided in such options or rights for the Common
                           Stock covered thereby;

                                    (2)      the aggregate maximum number of
                           shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of
                           or in exchange for any such convertible or
                           exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of
                           options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such
                           convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent
                           conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to
                           have been issued at the time such securities were
                           issued or such options or rights were issued and for
                           a consideration equal to the consideration received
                           by the Corporation for any such securities and
                           related options or rights (excluding any cash
                           received on account of accrued interest or accrued
                           dividends), plus the additional minimum
                           consideration, if any, to be received by the
                           Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such
                           securities or the exercise of any related options or
                           rights (the consideration in each case to be
                           determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (i)
                           and (ii) above of this Section 6(d));

                                    (3)      on any change in the number of
                           shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of
                           any such options or rights or conversion of or
                           exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
                           securities, or on any change in the minimum purchase
                           price of such options, rights or securities, other
                           than a change resulting from the antidilution
                           provisions of such options, rights or securities, the
                           Conversion Price will be readjusted

<PAGE>

                           to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained
                           had the adjustment made upon (a) the issuance of such
                           options, rights or securities not exercised,
                           converted or exchanged prior to such change or (b)
                           the options or rights related to such securities not
                           converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the
                           case may be, been made upon the basis of such change;
                           and

                                    (4)      on the expiration of any such
                           options or rights, the termination of any such rights
                           to convert or exchange or the expiration of any
                           options or rights related to such convertible or
                           exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price will be
                           readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have
                           been obtained had the adjustment made upon the
                           issuance of such options, rights, convertible or
                           exchangeable securities or options or rights related
                           to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as
                           the case may be, been made upon the basis of the
                           issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock
                           actually issued upon the exercise of such options or
                           rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such
                           convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the
                           exercise of the options or rights related to such
                           convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case
                           may be.

                  (e)      Adjustment for Stock Splits, Dividends and
         Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time
         after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding
         Common Stock or declare a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock,
         the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision
         shall be proportionately decreased. If the Corporation shall at any
         time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the
         outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect
         immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased.
         Any adjustment under this Section 6(e) shall become effective at the
         close of business on the date the subdivision, dividend or combination
         becomes effective.

                  (f)      Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In
         the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
         Original Issue Date for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall
         make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of
         Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution
         payable in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common
         Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the
         holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive upon
         conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
         receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Corporation that
         they would have received had the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
         been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they
         thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and
         including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by
         them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all
         adjustments called for during such period under this Section 6(f) with
         respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock; and

<PAGE>

         provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the
         holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock simultaneously receive
         a dividend or other distribution of such securities in an amount equal
         to the amount of such securities as they would have received if all
         outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been
         converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

                  (g)      Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, or
         Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
         Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or
         a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether
         by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a
         subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for
         above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets
         provided for below), then and in each such event the holder of each
         such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right
         thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of
         stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
         reorganization, reclassification, or other change, by holders of the
         number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A
         Convertible Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior
         to such reorganization, reclassification, or change, all subject to
         further adjustment as provided herein.

                  (h)      Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. In case
         of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another
         corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
         the Corporation to another corporation (other than a consolidation,
         merger or sale which is covered by Section 4(a)), each share of Series
         A Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible (or shall
         be converted into a security which shall be convertible) into the kind
         and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property to which
         a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
         deliverable upon conversion of such Series A Convertible Preferred
         Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger or sale;
         and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith
         by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the
         provisions in this Section 6 set forth with respect to the rights and
         interest thereafter of the holders of the Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this

                   LIABILITY AND COMPENSATION OF ESCROW AGENT

         5.1)     No Implied Duties. The duties and obligations of the Escrow
Agent hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Escrow Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
Escrow Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall, in
determining its duties hereunder, be under no obligation to refer to any other
documents between or among the parties related in any way to this Escrow
Agreement (except to the extent that this Escrow Agreement specifically refers
to or incorporates by reference provisions of any other document).

         5.2)     Indemnification of Escrow Agent. HFC and the Escrow Agent have
entered into a separate letter agreement dated the date hereof relating to
indemnification of the Escrow Agent for certain liability and expense which may
arise out of actions taken or omitted by the Escrow Agent in accordance with
this Escrow Agreement (except such liability and expense as may result from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent).

         5.3)     Standard of Care; Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be
liable to any person by reason of any error of judgment or for any act done or
step taken or omitted by it, or for any mistake of fact or law or anything which
it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith unless caused by or
arising out of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent
shall be entitled to rely in good faith on, and shall be protected in acting in
reliance in good faith upon, any instructions or directions furnished to it in
writing jointly executed by J&J Health and HFC or by Lender and Bayview, as
applicable, pursuant to any provision of this Escrow Agreement and shall be
entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter,
paper or other document furnished to it by J&J Health and HFC or by Lender and
Bayview, and reasonably believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to have
been signed and presented by the proper party or parties. In performing its
obligations hereunder, the Escrow Agent may consult with counsel to the Escrow
Agent and shall be entitled to rely in good faith on, and shall be protected in
acting in reliance in good faith upon, the advice or opinion of such counsel.

         5.4)     Compensation of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to its customary fee for the performance of services by the Escrow
Agent hereunder for each year or portion thereof that any portion of the Escrow
Fund remains in escrow and shall be reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by it in connection with the performance of such services (such fees,
costs and expenses are hereinafter referred to as the "Escrow Agent's
Compensation"). The Escrow Agent's Compensation shall be paid by HFC pursuant to
the terms of a separate letter agreement between the Escrow Agent and HFC dated
the date hereof.

         5.5)     Resignation and Successor. The Escrow Agent may resign at any
time by giving sixty (60) days written notice to Lender, Bayview and J&J Health;
provided, that such resignation shall not be effective unless and until a
successor Escrow Agent has been appointed and accepts such position pursuant to
the terms of this Section 5.5. In such event, Lender, Bayview and J&J Health
shall jointly appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If a successor Escrow Agent is
not appointed within the 30-day period following such notice, the Escrow Agent
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor Escrow
Agent. Such appointment shall be effective on the effective date of the
aforesaid resignation (the "Escrow

<PAGE>

Transfer Date"). On the Escrow Transfer Date, all right title and interest to
the Escrow Fund, including interest thereon, shall be transferred to the
successor Escrow Agent and this Escrow Agreement shall be assigned by the Escrow
Agent to such successor Escrow Agent, and thereafter, the resigning Escrow Agent
shall be released from any further obligations hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall
continue to serve until its successor is appointed, assumes this Escrow
Agreement and receives the transferred Escrow Fund.

         5.6)     Disputes. It is understood and agreed that in the event any
adverse claims or demands are made in connection with the Escrow Fund, or in the
event the Escrow Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action it should
take hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall retain the Escrow Fund until the Escrow
Agent shall have received (i) an enforceable final order of a court or
arbitrator of competent jurisdiction which is not subject to further appeal
directing delivery of the Escrow Fund or (ii) a written statement jointly
executed by J&J Health and HFC, on the one hand, and Lender and Bayview, on the
other hand, directing delivery of the Escrow Fund, in which event Escrow Agent
shall disburse the Escrow Fund in accordance with such order or agreement. Any
court or arbitrator order referred to in clause (i) immediately above shall be
accompanied by a legal opinion of counsel for the presenting party satisfactory
to the Escrow Agent to the effect that said court or arbitrator order or
judgment is final and enforceable and is not subject to further appeal. The
Escrow Agent shall act on such court or arbitrator order and legal opinion
without further question.

         5.7)     Limitation on Damages. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be
liable in connection with this Escrow Agreement for any special, indirect or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, even if the Escrow Agent
has been previously advised of such loss or damage.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                  ARTICLE VIII

         8.1)     Other Agreements. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to

         8.2)     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of

         8.3)     Arbitration.

                  (i)      The parties hereby agree that any dispute shall be
                           resolved by arbitration before a single arbitrator in
                           accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
                           the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") then
                           pertaining (available by www.adr.org), except where
                           those rules conflict with this provision, in which
                           case this provision controls. Any court with
                           jurisdiction shall enforce this clause and enter
                           judgment on any award. The arbitrator shall be
                           selected within twenty business days from
                           commencement of the arbitration from the AAA's
                           National Roster of Arbitrators pursuant to agreement
                           or through selection procedures administered by the
                           AAA. Within 45 days of initiation of arbitration, the
                           parties shall reach agreement upon and thereafter
                           follow procedures, including limits on discovery,
                           assuring that the arbitration will be concluded and
                           the award rendered within no more than eight months
                           from the selection of the arbitrator, or, failing
                           agreement, procedures meeting such time limits will
                           be designed by the AAA and adhered to by the parties.
                           The arbitration shall be held in Minneapolis,
                           Minnesota and the arbitrator shall apply the
                           substantive law of Minnesota, except that the
                           interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration
                           provision shall be governed by the Federal
                           Arbitration Act. Prior to commencement of
                           arbitration, emergency relief is available from any
                           court to avoid irreparable harm. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL
                           NOT AWARD EITHER

<PAGE>

                           PARTY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLIED OR
                           CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ATTORNEYS' FEES OR COSTS.

                  (ii)     Prior to the commencement of arbitration, the parties
                           must attempt to mediate their dispute using a
                           professional mediator from AAA, the CPR Institute for
                           Dispute Resolution, or like organization selected by
                           agreement or, absent agreement, through selection
                           procedures administered by the AAA. Within a period
                           of 45 days after the request for mediation, the
                           parties agree to convene with the mediator, with
                           business representatives present, for at least one
                           session to attempt to resolve the matter. In no event
                           will mediation delay commencement of the arbitration
                           for more than 45 days absent agreement of the parties
                           or interfere with the availability of emergency
                           relief.

         8.4)     Benefit; Successor and Assigns. This Escrow Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns but shall not be assignable by any party hereto
without the written consent of all of the other parties hereto. The parties
acknowledge that HFC is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Escrow
Agreement and that this Escrow Agreement will not be amended without the consent
of HFC. This Escrow Agreement is not intended to confer on any person not a
party hereto, other than HFC pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, any
rights or remedies hereunder.

         8.5)     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the
application of such a provision, is for any reason and to any extent invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision
to other circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the
intent of the parties to this Agreement. The parties shall replace such void or
unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision
that shall achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and
other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

         8.6)     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become
binding when one or more counterparts of it, individually or taken together,
whether delivered via facsimile or otherwise, bear the signatures of all the
parties reflected hereon as signatories.

         8.7)     Amendment and Waivers. Any term or provision of this Agreement
may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) only by a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Except
with respect to HFC pursuant to Section 8.4, notwithstanding any rights that may
be created in any third party under the terms of this Agreement, no such
amendment or waiver shall require the consent of such third party to be
effective. The waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement or default in
the performance of any obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to
constitute a waiver of any other default or any succeeding breach or default.

Bayview Capital Partners LP
641 East Lake Street, Suite 2400
Wayzata, MN 55391
Attn: Cary Musech and Sean A. Epp

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Health Fitness Corporation, a Minnesota
corporation ("HFC"), in connection with the transactions contemplated by that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement between HFC and the Active Guarantors (as
defined below), on the one hand, and you ("Bayview"), on the other hand, dated
the date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement"). This opinion is given at the request
of HFC pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(vii) of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined in this opinion have the same meanings as in the
Purchase Agreement.

         We have examined the following documents, each dated the date hereof:

         a.       the Purchase Agreement;

         b.       the Bridge Note;

         c.       the Security Agreement between Bayview and HFC and the
                  Security Agreement between Bayview and each of Fitness Centers
                  of America, a California corporation ("FCA"), Health Fitness
                  Rehab, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("HF Rehab"), and Health
                  Fitness Corporation of Canada, Inc., an Alberta corporation
                  ("HFC Canada" and together with FCA and HF Rehab, the "Active
                  Guarantors"); and

         d.       the Guaranties (the "Guaranties") given in Bayview's favor by
                  each Active Guarantor.

All of the foregoing are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
"Transaction Documents."

<PAGE>

         We have also examined HFC's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and
officer's and secretary's certificates certifying to the adoption of certain
corporate resolutions by HFC's board of directors and committees thereof in
connection with the execution of the Transaction Documents. We have also
examined the Active Guarantors' Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and
officer's and secretary's certificates certifying to the adoption of certain
corporate resolutions by the Active Guarantors' boards of directors in
connection with the execution of the Transaction Documents.

         As to various matters of fact material to this opinion we have relied
upon factual representations made by HFC and the Active Guarantors in the
Transaction Documents and upon certificates of officers and public officials. We
have also examined the originals or copies of such corporate documents and
records and other certificates, opinions and instruments and have made such
other investigation as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions
hereinafter set forth.

         We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than
signatures of persons signing on behalf of HFC or the Active Guarantors) and
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. In examining
documents executed by parties other than HFC or the Active Guarantors, we have
assumed that such parties have all necessary power to enter into and perform all
of their obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by
all requisite action of the execution, delivery and performance of such
documents by such parties and that such documents are legal, valid and binding
on such parties in accordance with their respective terms. We have also assumed
that each natural person executing any Transaction Document has the capacity and
is legally competent to do so.

         Our opinion set forth in Paragraph 2 is based solely upon certificates
of good standing (or similar certificates) from the Secretaries of State (or
other appropriate office) of California (dated August 21, 2003), with respect to
FCA; of Minnesota (dated August 21, 2003) with respect to HF Rehab; and Alberta
(dated July 17, 2003) with respect to HFC Canada; and all such opinions are
rendered as of the date of such certificate with respect to such party in such
jurisdiction.

         Our opinions expressed below are limited to the law of the State of
Minnesota (excluding its conflict of laws principles), the corporate laws of the
State of California as reported by Aspen Law & Business, a Division of Aspen
Publishers, Inc., in its Corporation Statutes (without examination of any
judicial decisions applicable to the corporate laws of the State of California),
and the substantive law of the United States of America. We express no opinion
as to the laws of any other state or jurisdiction. We express no opinion on any
matter of county, municipal, or special political subdivision law.

         References in this opinion to "our knowledge" or the like, mean that in
the course of our representation of HFC no information has come to the attention
of the lawyers working on the transaction contemplated by the Transaction
Documents that gives us current conscious awareness that any such opinions are
not accurate. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, we have undertaken no
independent investigation or verification of such matters.

<PAGE>

         Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion as of this date that:

         1.       HFC is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota.

         2.       Each of the Active Guarantors is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation.

         3.       Each of HFC, HF Rehab and FCA has the corporate power and
authority (a) to own its properties and conduct its business as presently
conducted and (b) to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under,
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

         4.       Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has
been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each of HFC and the Active
Guarantors, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of HFC and
such Active Guarantors, enforceable against HFC and such Active Guarantors in
accordance with its terms.

         5.       The execution and delivery by HFC, HF Rehab and FCA of the
Transaction Documents to which each is a party, and the performance by HFC, HF
Rehab and FCA of their respective obligations thereunder: (a) have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action of HFC, HF Rehab and FCA, as the
case may be; (b) do not conflict with or result in the violation of HFC's, HF
Rehab's or FCA's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as the case may be; (c) do
not result in a breach or other violation by HFC, HF Rehab or FCA, as the case
may be, of any law or regulation applicable to HFC, HF Rehab or FCA, as the case
may be; (d) to our knowledge, do not conflict with or result in the material
violation of any material agreement to which HFC, HF Rehab or FCA is a party, as
the case may be; and (e) to our knowledge, do not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien upon any assets of HFC, HF Rehab or FCA other than any
Liens granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

         6.       The execution and delivery by HFC Canada of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by HFC Canada of its
obligations thereunder: (a) do not conflict with or result in the violation of
HFC Canada's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; (b) to our knowledge, do not
conflict with or result in the material violation of any material agreement to
which HFC Canada is a party; and (c) to our knowledge, do not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon any assets of HFC Canada, other than any
Liens granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

         7.       To our knowledge, except as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, there is no pending or overtly threatened action, suit or proceeding
against HFC or any Active Guarantor, which, if adversely determined, would have
a Material Adverse Effect on HFC or any Active Guarantor.

         8.       No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or
registration with, or exemption by, any governmental body or governmental
authority is necessary for any Loan Party to authorize, execute and deliver the
Transaction Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or to perform all of
the obligations of such Loan Party thereunder to be performed by such Loan

<PAGE>

Party at the Bridge Note Closing, including, in the case of HFC, the obligation
to issue the Bridge Note, except for the filing of appropriate financing
statements in the appropriate filing offices.

         9.       In addition to and not in limitation of the opinions set forth
in paragraph 5 above, the execution and delivery by HFC of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by HFC of its obligations
thereunder, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities to
Bayview, (a) have been duly approved by a committee of the board of directors of
HFC in accordance with Section 302A.673 of the Minnesota Statutes (the "Business
Combination Act"), and (b) such committee has been formed in accordance with the
Business Combination Act and each member of such committee is, to our knowledge,
"disinterested", as defined in the Business Combination Act.

         The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications:

         a.       The opinions expressed above are qualified to the extent that
                  the legality, validity or enforceability of any provisions of
                  the Transaction Documents or of any rights granted to Bayview
                  pursuant to any of those agreements or instruments may be
                  subject to and affected by applicable bankruptcy (including
                  but not limited to the avoidance provisions thereof),
                  insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer or conveyance,
                  equitable subordination, moratorium or similar laws affecting
                  the rights of creditors generally.

         b.       The enforceability of HFC's and the Active Guarantors'
                  obligations under the Transaction Documents is subject to
                  general principles of equity, including (without limitation)
                  concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair
                  dealing (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in
                  a proceeding in equity or at law).

         c.       Certain provisions of the Transaction Documents may be
                  unenforceable, but the inclusion of such provisions therein
                  does not affect the validity of any such document as a whole
                  and such documents contain provisions generally considered
                  adequate for (i) enforcing payment of HFC's and the Active
                  Guarantors' obligations thereunder and (ii) exercising rights
                  and remedies customarily available to a secured lender.

         d.       We express no opinion regarding the title to any property.

         e.       We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any default
                  rate of interest or late charge provided for under the
                  Transaction Documents to the extent held by any court to be a
                  penalty imposed for the breach of contract.

         f.       We express no opinion regarding the creation, attachment,
                  perfection, or priority of any security interest.

         g.       We have assumed with your permission that Bayview has not been
                  and will not become (i) an "interested shareholder" (as
                  defined in the Minnesota Business Corporation Act) of HFC
                  other than pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the
                  transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) an "associate" or
                  "affiliate" (each as defined in the Minnesota Business
                  Corporation Act) of an interested shareholder of HFC at any
                  time.

         h.       We express no opinion as to the Company's or any other
                  entity's or person's compliance with federal, state or foreign
                  securities laws, or exemptions therefrom, in connection with
                  the offer, issuance, transfer, distribution or other
                  disposition of any securities involved in the transactions
                  contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

         i.       We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any
                  provisions indemnifying a party against, or requiring
                  contributions toward, that party's liability for its own
                  wrongful or negligent acts, or where indemnification or
                  contribution is contrary to public policy or prohibited by
                  law.

         This opinion is being delivered to you alone and is solely for your
benefit and the benefit of your participants, successors and assigns and may not
be relied upon by any other person or entity. This opinion is rendered as of the
date first written above, and we assume no obligation to advise you at any time
