with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The rights, duties and
liabilities of the Members shall be determined pursuant to the Act and this
Agreement. To the extent that such rights, duties or obligations are different

with
<PAGE>

agent from time to time in the discretion of the Administrative Members.

         2.4 TERM. The term of the Company shall continue until December 31,
2024 unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. The holders of a majority

years each if they determine that extension is necessary or desirable.

         2.5 PURPOSE. The purpose of the Company is to make investments in the

not then required to provide for Distributions, expenses or investments.

         2.6 SPECIFIC POWERS. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.5,
the Company shall have the power and authority to take any and all actions

         the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company;

                                    ARTICLE 3
                             MEMBERSHIP AND CAPITAL

         3.1 MEMBERS; UNITS. The Members of the Company shall be listed on
SCHEDULE I hereto, as from time to time amended and supplemented in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. The Members' Interests in the Company
shall be represented by up to three separate classes (each a "CLASS") of units
("UNITS"). The Interest of each of Scott Watterson and Gary Stevenson shall be
represented by "Class A Units." The Interest of each Bain Member and of each
other Member (other than Scott Watterson or Gary Stevenson) as the Bain Members
shall designate shall be represented by "Class B Units." The Interest of any
other Member shall be represented by "Class C Units." Each Unit issued as of the
Closing Date shall represent a Capital Contribution of one hundred dollars
($100). The holders of Class A Units and Class B Units shall have the voting
rights specified in this Agreement. The holders of Class C Units shall not have
any voting rights, except the right to vote in respect of certain proposed
amendments, as more fully specified in Section 11.1. From and after the making
by the Members of Capital Contributions to fund an investment other than the
investment in HF Holdings to be made as of the Closing Date, the Units of the
Company shall be segregated not only by Class, but also by investment so that
the Units issued in respect of an investment shall represent only an interest in
that investment (and the Short-Term Investments, if any, related thereto). The
holders of Class A Units, Class B Units and Class C Units issued in respect of a
particular investment shall be entitled to receive the Distributions and
allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss (and other items treated as Net Profit
and Net Loss pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5) in respect of such investment as
are specified in Article 5. For the sake of clarity, the Units issued in respect
of the investment in HF Holdings on the Closing Date shall be designated the "HF
Class A Units", the "HF Class B Units" and the "HF Class C Units."

         3.2 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Member shall contribute to the Company
on the Closing Date the amount set forth opposite such Member's name on SCHEDULE
I, as in effect as of the Closing Date, under the heading "CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS" and shall receive the number of HF Class A Units, HF Class B
Units and/or HF Class C Units, as the case may be, set forth on SCHEDULE I. (For
the treatment of the CSFB Warrant (defined below), see Section 3.7.) Following
the Closing Date, the Administrative Members, with the approval of a Voting
Majority, may issue Class A, B and/or C Units to such persons in exchange for
such additional Capital Contributions as they determine to be appropriate.
Promptly following the issuance of additional Units, the Administrative Members
shall amend SCHEDULE I so that it sets forth, effective as of the date of the
amendment, opposite each Member's name, under the heading "CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS", the total amount of Capital Contributions made by such Member to
the Company on and after the Closing Date, and under the headings "CLASS A
UNITS," "CLASS B UNITS" and "CLASS C UNITS," the number of Class A Units, Class
B or Class C Units, respectively, held by such Member and the investments in
respect of which such Units were issued.

                                       -4-
<PAGE>

         3.3 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A separate account (each a "CAPITAL ACCOUNT")
shall be established and maintained for each Member which shall be increased by
(a) the amount of cash and the fair market value (as agreed upon by such Member
and the Administrative Members, with the consent of a Voting Majority, at the
time of contribution) of any other property contributed by such Member to the
Company as a Capital Contribution (net of liabilities secured by such property
or that the Company assumes or takes the property subject to), (b) such Member's
share of the Net Profit of the Company and (c) amounts required to be credited
to the Members' Capital Accounts in the same manner as Net Profit pursuant to
Section 3.4 or 3.5, and shall be reduced by (d) the amount of cash and the fair
market value (as agreed upon by such Member and the Administrative Members, with
the consent of a Voting Majority, at the time of distribution) of any other
property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such property
or that the Member assumes or takes the property subject to), (e) such Member's
share of the Net Loss of the Company and (f) amounts required to be credited to
the Members' Capital Accounts in the same manner as Net Loss pursuant to Section
3.4 or Section 3.5. From and after the making by the Members (which term, for
purposes of this sentence, shall not include the holder of any CSFB Warrant
(defined below)) of Capital Contributions to fund an investment other than the
investment in HF Holdings to be made as of the Closing Date, each Member's
Capital Account shall be divided into two or more "Sub-Capital Accounts", and a
separate Sub-Capital Account shall be maintained in the manner provided in the
immediately preceding sentence for each investment (and the Short-Term
Investments, if any, related thereto) in which the Member has an interest.

         3.4 REVALUATIONS OF ASSETS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNT ADJUSTMENTS. Immediately
preceding the issuance of additional Class A Units, Class B Units or Class C
Units to a new or existing Member in exchange for cash or other contributions
(other than in connection with the exercise of any CSFB Warrant (as defined
below)), or upon the redemption of the Interest of a Member, the then prevailing
Asset Values of the Company shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross
fair market values, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Members,
with the consent of a Voting Majority, and any increase in the net equity value
of the Company (Asset Values less liabilities) shall be credited to the Capital
Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members in the same
manner as Net Profits are credited under Section 5.5.2 hereof (or any decrease
in the net equity value of the Company shall be charged in the same manner as
Net Losses are charged under Section 5.5.3). Accordingly, as of the date of
issuance of additional Units or the redemption of all or a portion of a Member's
Interest in the Company, the Capital Accounts (and the Sub-Capital Accounts) of
Members will reflect both realized and unrealized gains and losses through such
date and the net fair market value of the equity of the Company as of such date.

         3.5 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ACCOUNT ADJUSTMENTS. Any income of the Company
that is exempt from federal income tax shall be credited to the Capital Accounts
(and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members in the same manner as
Net Profits are credited under Section 5.5.2 when such income is realized. Any
expenses or expenditures of the Company

                                       -5-
<PAGE>

which may neither be deducted or capitalized for tax purposes (or are so treated
for tax purposes) shall be charged to the Capital Accounts (and the appropriate
Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members, in the same manner as Net Losses are
charged under Section 5.5.3. If the Company makes an election under Section 754
of the Code to provide a special basis adjustment upon the transfer of an
Interest in the Company or the distribution of property by the Company, Capital
Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) shall be adjusted to the
limited extent required by the Treasury Regulations under Section 704 following
such transfer or distribution.

         3.6      ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ACCOUNT PROVISIONS.

                  3.6.1 No Member shall have the right to demand a return of all
         or any part of its Capital Contributions. Any return of the Capital
         Contributions of any Member shall be made solely from the assets of the
         Company and only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No
         interest shall be paid to any Member with respect to its Capital
         Contributions or Capital Account (or any Sub-Capital Account).

                  3.6.2 In the event that all or a portion of the Units of a
         Member are transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
         the transferee of such Units shall also succeed to all or the relevant
         portion of the Capital Account (and the appropriate Sub-Capital
         Accounts) of the transferor. Units held by a Member may not be
         transferred independently of the interest in the capital of the Company
         to which the Units relate.

                  3.6.3 No Member shall have any obligation to repay any deficit
         balance in its Capital Account (or in any Sub-Capital Account).

         3.7 OPTIONS, WARRANTS, ETC. The Administrative Members, with the
approval of a Voting Majority, may issue options, warrants and other rights or
interests in respect of the equity of the Company (each a "Right") to such
persons, in exchange for such amounts of cash or other property, and having such
terms, as the Administrative Members determine to be appropriate. By its
signature to this Agreement, Bain, constituting a Voting Majority as of the date
hereof, hereby approves the issuance as of the date hereof to Credit Suisse
First Boston Management Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("CSFB"), of a
warrant for the purchase of fifty thousand (50,000) Class C Units having terms
substantially identical to those set forth in the HF Class C Units Purchase
Warrant attached hereto as EXHIBIT 2 (such warrant and any warrant issued to

forth on SCHEDULE I the name of the holder of such Right and the terms of such
Right. Upon the exercise of any CSFB Warrant, the holder thereof shall be deemed
to have made a Capital Contribution equal to the sum of (i) the exercise price
paid in connection with such exercise and (ii) the product of (A) five million
dollars ($5,000,000) and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
HF Units received upon such exercise and the denominator of which is the sum of
(I) the aggregate

number of HF Units for which all unexercised CSFB Warrants are exercisable and
(II) the aggregate number of outstanding HF Units issued in connection with the
exercise of any CSFB Warrants (for purposes of this clause II, adjusted to
reflect any post-exercise distributions of additional HF Units in respect of HF
Units, reclassifications by subdivision of outstanding HF Units, or
reclassifications by combination of outstanding HF Units into a smaller number
of HF Units). Such Capital Contribution shall be set forth on Schedule I.

         3.8 LIMITATIONS ON ISSUANCES. The Company shall not issue any
additional Units (or rights to acquire Units) to any Bain Member unless the

                          STATUS AND RIGHTS OF MEMBERS

         4.1 LIMITED LIABILITY. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the
debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract,
tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the
Company, and no Member nor any other Indemnified Person shall be obligated
personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company. All
Persons dealing with the Company shall look solely to the assets of the Company
for the payment of the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company.

         4.2 RETURN OF DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL. Except as otherwise expressly
required by law, a Member, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability
either to the Company or any of the Company's creditors. Except as required by
law or a court of competent jurisdiction, no Member or investor in or partner of
a Member shall be obligated by this Agreement to return any Distribution to the
Company or pay the amount of any Distribution for the account of the Company or
to any creditor of the Company. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction
holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is
obligated to return or pay any part of any Distribution, the obligation shall be
that of such Member alone, and not of any other Member unless the court so
provides. The amount of any Distribution returned to the Company by or on behalf
of a Member or paid by or on behalf of a Member for the account of the Company
or to a creditor of the Company shall be added to the account or accounts from
which it was subtracted when it was distributed to the Member.

                           the assets being allocated first been sold for an
                           amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such
                           assets, as determined (except as provided in the next
                           sentence) in good faith by the Administrative
                           Members, with the consent of a Voting Majority, and
                           the proceeds from such sale been allocated pursuant
                           to Section 5.1.2. For purposes of this Section, the
                           "fair market value" of any share of HF Holdings or
                           any successor thereto allocated hereunder shall be
                           (i) in the case of a Liquidity Event (other than an
                           initial public offering), the amount of consideration
                           per share paid in connection with the Liquidity
                           Event, (ii) in the case of a secondary public
                           offering, the price at which shares are offered to
                           the public in such offering or (iii) in all other
                           cases, as determined in good faith by the
                           Administrative Members, with the consent of a Voting
                           Majority.

                  (b)      ALLOCATION TO CSFB WARRANT ACCOUNT. Notwithstanding
                           the provisions of Section 5.1.3(a), in the event that
                           any holder of a CSFB Warrant is at the time of an
                           allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1.3(a) not
                           permitted under the IBA or the BHCA to hold all or a
                           portion (the "Impermissible Portion") of any non-cash
                           asset that would otherwise be allocated to it
                           (pursuant to Section 5.13(a)), then the Impermissible
                           Portion of the non-cash asset that would otherwise be
                           allocated pursuant to Section 5.1.3(a) to such holder
                           shall instead be allocated to a CSFB Warrant Account
                           established in respect of the CSFB Warrant held by
                           such holder.

                  5.1.4   TREATMENT OF ALLOCATED ASSETS.

                  (a)      CURRENT DISTRIBUTION. All Available Cash allocated
                           under Section 5.1.2 to any Member or any holder of a
                           CSFB Warrant shall be distributed to such Member or
                           such holder within two (2) Business Days of the
                           receipt by the Company of such cash. All assets other
                           than Available Cash allocated under Section 5.1.3(a)
                           to any Member or any holder of a CSFB Warrant shall
                           be distributed to such Member or such holder as soon
                           as reasonably practicable.

                  (b)      SET ASIDE IN CSFB WARRANT ACCOUNT. The portion of
                           each non-cash asset allocated pursuant to Section
                           5.1.3(b) to a CSFB Warrant Account shall be held in
                           such account, and no portion of such non-cash asset
                           shall be distributed to the holder of the CSFB
                           Warrant in respect of which such account was
                           established other than in accordance with Section
                           5.1.4(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, an
                           amount equal to all cash earnings received by the
                           Company in respect of any non-cash

                           asset held in the CSFB Warrant Account shall be
                           distributed, to the extent of Available Cash, to the
                           holder of the CSFB Warrant in respect of which such
                           account was established as soon as reasonably
                           practicable following the receipt by the Company of
                           such cash. All non-cash earnings in respect of an
                           asset in the CSFB Warrant Account shall remain in the
                           account and be distributed in accordance with Section
                           5.1.4(c).

                  (c)      DISTRIBUTION OF NON-CASH ASSETS FROM CSFB WARRANT
                           ACCOUNT. No non-cash asset held in a CSFB Warrant
                           Account shall be distributed until such time as: (i)
                           the holder of the CSFB Warrant in respect of which
                           such account was established notifies the Company
                           that it has become permissible under the IBA and/or
                           the BHCA for such holder to hold all or a portion of
                           one or more of the non-cash assets in such account,
                           in which case, that portion of each non-cash asset in
                           such CSFB Warrant Account which such holder may then
                           hold shall be distributed to such holder within two
                           (2) Business Days of such notification; or (ii) the
                           CSFB Warrant in respect of which the CSFB Warrant
                           Account was established is exercised in whole or in
                           part. In the event of an exercise described in clause
                           (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the CSFB
                           Account Distribution Fraction of each remaining asset
                           in the CSFB Warrant Account shall be distributed to
                           the holder exercising the CSFB Warrant in respect of
                           which the account was established, within two (2)
                           Business Days after the date as of which exercise of
                           the warrant shall be deemed to have been effected
                           pursuant to Section 1.3 of such CSFB Warrant. In the
                           event that a CSFB Warrant lapses, distributions that
                           would have been made to the holder of such warrant
                           pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
                           5.1.4(c) shall be made to, or to the designee of,
                           such holder within five (5) Business Days of such
                           lapse.

         5.2 NO VIOLATION. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a Distribution to any
Member on account of its Interest in the Company if such Distribution would
violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law.

         5.3 WITHHOLDINGS. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any
provision of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment,
Distribution, or allocation to the Company shall be treated as amounts paid to
the Company. The Administrative Members are authorized to withhold from
Distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to
the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts required
to be so withheld. The Administrative Members shall allocate any such amounts to
the Members in respect of whose Distribution or allocation the tax was withheld
and shall treat such amounts as actually distributed to such Members.

         5.4 PROPERTY DISTRIBUTIONS AND INSTALLMENT SALES. The amount by which
the fair market value of any property to be distributed in kind pursuant to
Sections 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 exceeds or is less than the then prevailing Asset Value
of such property shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized by the Company,
be taken into account in determining Net Profit and Net Loss and determining the
Capital Accounts (and the appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members as if
such property had been sold at its fair market value immediately prior to the
distribution. If any assets are sold in transactions in which, by reason of the
provisions of Section 453 of the Code or any successor thereto, gain is realized
but not recognized, such gain shall be taken into account when realized in
computing gain or loss of the Company for purposes of allocation of Net Profit
or Net Loss under this Article 5.

                  5.5.1 DEFINITIONS. The "NET PROFIT" or "NET LOSS" of the
         Company for each Fiscal Year or relevant part thereof shall mean the
         Company's taxable income or loss for federal income tax purposes for
         such period (including therein all items of income, gain, loss or
         deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section
         703(a)(1) of the Code) with the following adjustments:

                           property of the Company with an Asset Value different
                           than the adjusted basis of such property for federal
                           income tax purposes shall be computed with respect to
                           the Asset Value of such property and any tax gain or
                           loss not included in Net Profit or Loss shall be
                           taken into account and allocated among the Members
                           pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof.

                  (b)      Depreciation, amortization or cost recovery
                           deductions with respect to any property with an Asset
                           Value that differs from its adjusted basis for
                           federal income tax purposes shall be computed in
                           accordance with Asset Value and any depreciation
                           allowable for federal income tax purposes shall be
                           allocated in accordance with Section 5.7.

                  5.5.2 ALLOCATIONS OF NET PROFIT. The Net Profit of the Company
         attributable to the Company's investment in HF Holdings (or any
         Short-Term Investments related thereto) for any relevant fiscal period
         shall be allocated and credited to the Capital Accounts (or the
         appropriate Sub-Capital Accounts) of the Members as follows:

                  (a)      All income and gain recognized by the Company (and
                           amounts so treated pursuant to Section 3.4 or 3.5)

                           to the Members' Capital Accounts (and, if

                           Holdings that are sold are Released Shares, the
                           presumptions set forth above in Section 5.1.2(a)
                           shall apply.)

                           (i) first, if losses and deductions have previously
                           been allocated to the Members pursuant to Section
                           5.5.3(b)(ii), to the Members in proportion to the
                           relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class)
                           held by the Members, until the aggregate amount
                           allocated pursuant to this clause (i) equals the
                           aggregate amount of losses and deductions previously
                           allocated pursuant to Section 5.5.3(b)(ii); and

                           (ii) thereafter, (A) the balance of such income and
                           gain multiplied by the Class A Percentage shall be
                           allocated to the holders of HF Class A Units, in

                           Residual Percentage to all Members, in proportion to
                           the relative number of HF Units (regardless of Class)

         Short-Term Investments related thereto) for any relevant fiscal period
         shall be allocated and charged to the Capital Accounts (or the

                           Short-Term Investments related thereto), shall be
                           allocated to the Members' Capital Accounts (and, if
                           appropriate, Sub-Capital Accounts for the HF Holdings

ss.1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). In addition, this Agreement shall for all purposes be
deemed to contain a qualified income offset provision, within the meaning of
such regulation. It is the intention of the Members that any allocations
required by the first two sentences of this Section 5.6 not affect the amount or
timing of Distributions to be made under this Agreement. In furtherance of this

two sentences of this Section 5.6, the Administrative Members are hereby

                                      -15-

or Net Loss allocated pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not again be allocated

         the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property
         contributed to the Company with an adjusted basis for federal income
         tax purposes different from the initial Asset Value at which such
         property was accepted by the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be
         allocated among the Members so as to take into account such difference
         in the manner required by Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury
         Regulations.

                  5.7.2 REVALUED ASSETS. If upon the acquisition of additional
         Units in the Company by a new or existing Member the Asset Value of any
         the assets of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.4,
         subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect
         to such assets shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the
         Members so as to take into account such adjustment in the same manner
         as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury
         Regulations.

                  5.7.3 ELECTIONS AND LIMITATIONS. The allocations required by
         this Section 5.7 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local
         income taxes and shall not affect the allocation of Net Profits or Net
         Losses as between Members or any Members' Capital Accounts (or
         Sub-Capital Accounts). All tax allocations required by this Section 5.7
         shall be made using the so-called "traditional method" described in the
         Treasury Regulations 1.704-3(b); except that the Administrative
         Members, with the advice of the Company's auditors or tax counsel and
         the consent of a Voting Majority, may elect to use the so-called
         "traditional method with curative allocations" described in Treasury
         Regulations 1.704-3(c).

                  5.7.4 TAX ALLOCATIONS. Except as noted above, all items of
         income, deduction and loss shall be allocated for Federal, state and
         local income tax purposes in the same manner such items are allocated
         for purposes of calculating Net Profits and Net Losses.

         5.8 ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS. The Members acknowledge and agree that upon
the making by the Company of an investment other than the investment in HF
Holdings as of the Closing Date, Sections 5.1 and 5.5 shall be amended to
include the necessary distribution and allocation provisions for such new
investment.

Article 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, this
Agreement may be amended or modified with the prior written consent of Bain and

necessary or desirable to cause this Agreement adequately to embody the "Intent
of the Parties," as defined in that certain letter agreement dated September 27,

provided, that, no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of any Class

                             DISSOLUTION OF COMPANY

         12.1 EVENTS OF DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. The Company shall be
dissolved upon the first to occur of the following events, but not upon any
other event: (a) December 31, 2024 unless such date is extended pursuant to
Section 2.4, (b) the written determination of the holders of a majority of each
of the Class A Units and Class B Units, (c) the entry of a decree of judicial
dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act or (d) the disposition of all of the
Company's assets.

         12.2 LIQUIDATION. Upon dissolution of the Company for any reason, the
Company shall immediately commence to wind up its affairs. A reasonable period
of time shall be allowed for the orderly termination of the Company's business,
discharge of its liabilities, and distribution or liquidation of the remaining
assets so as to enable the Company to minimize the normal losses attendant to
the liquidation process. The Company's property and assets or the proceeds from
the liquidation thereof shall be distributed so as not to contravene the Act but
otherwise in compliance with Section 5.1; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Distributions
to Members shall be made after their Capital Accounts (and Sub-Capital Accounts)
have been adjusted to reflect all Net Profits and Net Losses (and amounts
treated as Net Profits and Losses pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5) of the
Company through the date of distribution. A full accounting of the assets and
liabilities of the Company shall be taken and a statement thereof shall be
furnished to each Member within thirty (30) days after the distribution of all
of the assets of the Company. Such accounting and statements shall be prepared
under the direction of the Administrative Members with the consent of a Voting
Majority. Upon such final accounting, the Company shall terminate and an
authorized person, appointed pursuant to Section 2.7, shall cancel the
Certificate in accordance with the Act.

         12.3 NO FURTHER CLAIM. Upon dissolution, each Member shall look solely
to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contributions, and if
the Company's

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

property remaining after payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of
the Company, including debts and liabilities owed to one or more of the Members,
is insufficient to return the aggregate Capital Contributions of each Member,
such Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member
except to the extent that Member has received Distributions in excess of those
to which such Member was entitled to under the terms of this Agreement.

         12.4 NO ACTION FOR DISSOLUTION. The Members acknowledge that
irreparable damage would be done to the Company if any Member should bring an
action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is
not required by Section 12.1. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide
fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the
Interests of all Members. Accordingly, except where the Company has not been
liquidated as required by Section 12.1 and except as specifically provided in
Section 18-802 of the Act, each Member hereby waives and renounces its right to
initiate legal action to seek dissolution or to seek the appointment of a
receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company.

                                   ARTICLE 13
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         13.1 GENERAL. Neither the Administrative Members nor any holder of
Class B Units nor any director, officer, partner, stockholder, affiliate,
fiduciary, agent, advisor, attorney, controlling person or employee of the
Administrative Members or any holder of Class B Units, nor any person serving at
the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or
independent contractor of another corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all of the foregoing persons
and entities being referred to collectively as "Indemnified Parties" and
individually as an "Indemnified Party") shall be liable to the Company or any
Member for any act or omission suffered or taken by it that is not in material
violation of this Agreement and does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
without reasonable cause to believe that its conduct was unlawful.

         13.2 INDEMNIFICATION. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, each Indemnified Party shall be fully protected and indemnified by the
Company out of Company assets against all liabilities and losses (including
amounts paid in respect of judgments, fines, penalties or settlement of
litigation, and legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding) suffered by virtue of its
serving as an Indemnified Party with respect to any action or omission suffered
or taken that is not in material violation of this Agreement and does not
constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, without reasonable cause to believe its
conduct was unlawful. The Company may, with the consent of a Voting Majority,
advance expenses, including legal fees, for which any Indemnified Party would be
entitled by this Agreement to be indemnified upon receipt of an unsecured
undertaking by such

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

Indemnified Party to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a
court of proper jurisdiction that indemnification for such expenses is not
permitted by law or authorized by this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party may
consult with recognized, outside legal counsel selected by the Company, and any
action or omission taken or suffered in good faith in reliance and accordance
with the opinion or advice of such counsel shall be conclusive evidence that
such action or omission did not materially violate this Agreement, did not
constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, was suffered or taken without reasonable
cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. Unless there is a specific finding of
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or reasonable cause to believe that
its conduct was unlawful (or where such a finding is an essential element of a
judgment or order), the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order or settlement, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption for the purposes of this
Section 13.2 that the person or entity in question acted fraudulently, was
grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct, or with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that its conduct
was unlawful.

                                   ARTICLE 14

<PAGE>

except to the extent the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy
laws, insolvency laws, reorganization laws, moratorium laws or other laws
affecting creditors' rights generally or by general equitable principles.

      3.3 Investment Representations and Undertakings.

            (a) HF LLC hereby represents that (i) the Shares will be acquired by
      it for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not
      with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof in violation
      of applicable federal and state securities laws, and (ii) it has no
      current intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same in
      violation of applicable federal and state securities laws. By executing
      this Agreement, HF LLC further represents that it does not have any
      contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell or
      otherwise transfer to such person, or to any other person, any of the
      Shares in violation of applicable federal and state securities laws;

            (b) HF LLC understands that the Shares have not been registered
      under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") on the basis
      that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of
      securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act
      pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and regulations issued thereunder, and
      that the Company's reliance on such exemption is in part predicated on
      representations of HF LLC set forth in this Agreement;

            (c) HF LLC represents that it has such knowledge in financial and
      business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
      its investment and that it is an "accredited investor" as such term is
      defined in Regulation D promulgated pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933
      Act. HF LLC further represents that it has had access, during the course
      of the transactions contemplated hereby and prior to its purchase of
      Shares, to the same kind of information that is specified in Part I of a
      registration statement under the 1933 Act and that it has had, during the
      course of the transactions contemplated hereby and prior to its purchase
      of the Shares, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers
      from, the Company (and Health & Fitness) concerning the terms and
      conditions of the Exchange Offer and to obtain additional information (to
      the extent the Company (and Health & Fitness) possessed such information
      or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to
      verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it or to which it had
      access. HF LLC understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon
      this investment or upon the Company, nor has any such agency made any
      finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment;

            (d) HF LLC understands that the Shares may not be sold, transferred
      or otherwise disposed of without registration under the 1933 Act or an
      exemption therefrom and, in the absence of an effective registration
      statement covering the Shares

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

      or an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, that the
      Shares may have to be held indefinitely and, as a consequence, that HF LLC
      must be prepared to bear the economic risk of this investment for an
      indefinite period of time. In that regard, HF LLC understands and
      acknowledges that, except as may be provided in the Stockholders
      Agreement, the Company is under no duty or obligation, contractual or
      otherwise, to register the Shares under the 1933 Act or to comply with the
      terms of any exemption thereunder. In particular, HF LLC acknowledges that
      it is aware that the Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144
      promulgated under the 1933 Act unless all of the conditions of that Rule
      are met. Among the current conditions for use of Rule 144 by certain
      holders is the availability to the public of current information about the
      Company. Such information is not now available, and the Company has no
      current plans to make such information available. HF LLC represents that,
      in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares,
      it will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares only in a manner
      consistent with its representations set forth herein and then only in
      accordance with the Stockholders Agreement; and

            (e) HF LLC also understands and acknowledges that the Stockholders
      Agreement imposes certain obligations with respect to and additional
      restrictions on transferability of the Shares and, that as a party to the
      Stockholders Agreement, that the certificates issued to it evidencing the
      Shares will bear certain legends, restricting transferability of the
      Shares, all as required by the Stockholders Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                 Conditions to Obligations of HF LLC at Closing
