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-
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-
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 reflect a partial exercise or a transfer of a portion of such warrant, a "CSFB Warrant"). Upon the issuance of any Right, the Administrative Members shall set 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
-6-
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.
