each case for Present Members who joined or renewed their Present Memberships
within 45 days prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of "Preferred
memberships" on or after June 1, 1998 (provided that such June 1, 1998 date
shall be amended in the event the Closing fails to occur as a result of Buyer's

case, up to and including the Closing Date, and in full satisfaction thereof,
Seller shall pay to Buyer on the Closing Date Buyer's share of all such amounts
received ("Buyer's Initiation/Fee Amount"), which amount shall be calculated in
accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule 3(a) hereof. Seller,

Principals and Buyer shall each act in good faith to divide the fees received
for such memberships among Buyer and Seller in accordance with the terms and the
spirit of Schedule 3(a);
(ii) Buyer and Seller agree that there are certain post-dated
checks and post-dated credit card receipts held by Seller which will be
deposited after the date hereof ("PostDated Amounts"). Seller and Buyer shall
allocate these amounts in accordance with Schedule 3(a) on the Closing Date;

correspond to services to be provided by Seller (i.e. on or prior to the Closing
Date) or Buyer (i.e. after the Closing Date).
b. (i) Except as specifically provided for in Section 3(c) hereof or

Payments") shall be pro-rated between Seller and Buyer in accordance with the
percentage that the corresponding services are to be provided by Seller (i.e. on
or prior to the Closing Date) or Buyer (i.e. after the Closing Date). (For

$100,000.00 of EFT Payments (excluding returns) on June 1, 1998 relating to
services to be provided in June, then Buyer would be paid $50,000.00 of such EFT
Payments by Seller and Seller would have retained $50,000.00 of such amount.) On

Principals the total amount of $15,000.00 per month (the first period commencing
on September 1, 1998 and ending on September 30, 1998) for the below listed
services, and Seller's Principals agree to perform for Buyer, each of the
following services, for a period not to exceed three (3) months after the
Closing Date: all billing of Lifestyle members as of the Closing Date,
including, but not limited to billing for EFT Payments, manual billing
(provided, however, that Seller and Seller's Principals agree that the first
manual billing to occur after the Closing Date (which the parties believe will
be on or about August 15, 1998) will be provided free of charge to Buyer), and
any and all other membership billing and collection reasonable and customary to
the Business, all as more fully set forth on Schedule 3(b)(iv) hereto.
(v) In the case of (iii) and (iv) of this Subsection 3(b),
Buyer shall use its best efforts to convert and transfer such billing procedure
and information to Buyer's billing system and to become self-sufficient with
respect to membership billing for three (3) months after the Closing Date.
(vi) Immediately subsequent to the Closing Date, Seller and
Seller's Principals shall begin to assist Buyer with the transfer of all EFT

provider, Check Free, to assist Buyer to the fullest extent possible.

Seller's Principals shall have no right to collect any EFT Payments from Present
Members after the Closing Date. In the event that Buyer, after due

within three (3) days of written notice from Buyer, provide Buyer with access to
the complete and accurate records of its system which services and manages EFT
Payments, in order for Buyer to determine if such amounts have, in fact, been
debited by Seller or Seller's Principals. In the event Seller fails to pay any
such improperly debited amounts to Buyer within five (5) days of notice from
Buyer of the improperly debited amounts, Buyer and TSI shall each have a right
of offset, in accordance with Section 10(e) hereof, against any payments

affiliates (the "Buyer's Indemnities") harmless from and against any and all
loss, damage, claim, obligation, assessment, cost, liability, and expense
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and
expenses incurred in investigating, preparing, defending against or prosecuting
any litigation or claim, action, suit, proceeding or demand), of any kind or
character (a "Loss"), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by
any one of them to the extent resulting from:
(1) any breach of the representations and warranties made by
Seller or Seller's Principals in or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the
Acquisition Agreements; or
(2) the failure by Seller or Seller's Principals to perform or
observe any of the covenants and agreements to be performed or observed by
Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Acquisition Agreements; or
(3) any and all obligations of Seller or Seller's Principals,
including, but not limited to, any and all obligations to Seller's Contractors,
investors, shareholders, creditors and any other third parties, except for (A)
obligations under the Assumed Contracts arising after the Closing Date, and (b)
other obligations expressly assumed or required to be assumed by Buyer under
this Agreement or the Acquisition Agreements; or
(4) any Proceedings, either listed on Schedule 5(f) hereto or
otherwise, relating to the Purchased Assets, the Business or the Demised
Premises arising on, accruing, or related to, any period prior to the Closing
Date.
b. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold
Seller and Seller's Principals and their respective directors, officers,
trustees, employees, agents and affiliates (the "Seller's Indemnities") harmless
from and against any and all loss, damage, claim, obligation, assessment, cost,
liability, and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing, defending
against or prosecuting any litigation or claim, action, suit, proceeding or
demand), of any kind or character (a "Loss"), incurred, suffered, sustained or
required to be paid by any one of them to the extent resulting from:

pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Acquisition Agreements; or
(3) any and all obligations of Buyer, except for (A)
obligations under the Assumed Contracts or with respect to the Assets arising or
accruing on or prior to the Closing Date, and (b) all other obligations retained
by Seller and Seller's Principals under this Agreement or the Acquisition

c. A party seeking indemnification hereunder is called the
"Indemnified Party." A party against whom indemnification is sought hereunder is
called the "Indemnifying Party." The Indemnified Party shall give the
Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of any claim, suit or demand which the
Indemnified Party believes will give rise to indemnification by the Indemnifying
Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and to direct the
defense against any such claim, suit or demand, in its name or in the name of
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the Indemnifying Party's expense
and with counsel selected jointly by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party reasonably demonstrates
that a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party with respect to any such claim, suit or demand, the
Indemnified Party may engage counsel of its own choosing at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party and shall be entitled to undertake the defense, compromise or
settlement of any such claim, suit or demand at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the legal fees and other fees
and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party on a monthly basis. If the
Indemnifying Party, within reasonable time after the notice of a claim, fails to
defend the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim at the expense of
and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party subject to the right of
the Indemnifying Party to jointly assume the defense of such claim at any time
prior to the settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.
d. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive until the second
(2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date.
e. Right of Offset. (i) In addition to any other rights Buyer may
have under this Agreement or in accordance with applicable law, in the event
that either Seller or Seller's Principals fails to pay any amounts due to Buyer
or Buyer's Indemnities as and when required herein pursuant to Section 10(a)
hereof (including, without limitation, any costs incurred or injury suffered by
Buyer or Buyer's Indemnities due to the breach of any of the representations and
warranties set forth herein), Seller and Seller's Principals acknowledge and
agree that Buyer, TSI and Buyer's Indemnities shall, upon providing five (5)
days prior written notice in the case of an emergency or twenty (20)
27
days prior written notice in all other cases (during which period Seller may
cure such breach or failure), have an immediate right of offset against any
payments required to be made (i) to Seller and/or (ii) to the other five (5)
Lifestyle Sellers, in accordance with the Related Lifestyle Acquisitions.
(ii) Buyer, Seller and Seller's Principals agree and
acknowledge that Buyer, Buyer's Indemnities and TSI may offset against any and
all payments required to be made to any of the Lifestyle Sellers under the TSI
Note for a breach by any one or more of the Lifestyle Sellers. (For example, if
Seller breaches this Agreement in the amount of $250,000.00, Buyer, Buyer's
Indemnities and TSI may offset the entire $250,000 amount of the breach from the
TSI Note despite the fact that only a portion of the TSI Note has been
apportioned to be paid to Seller.)
f. Seller's Principals' Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, or, more specifically, anything to
the contrary in this Article 10, and in addition to Section 10(e) hereof (which
provides Buyer, TSI and Buyer's Indemnities with an offset right against the
Lifestyle Sellers for amounts otherwise owed to the Lifestyle Sellers under the
TSI Note), Seller's Principals (as opposed to Seller or the other Lifestyle
Sellers) shall be personally liable under this Agreement only for (i) a breach
of the following representations and warranties: Section 5(b) (Due Execution),
Section 5(e) (No Liens or Encumbrances), Section 5(f) (Litigation), Section 5(j)
(Compliance with Law), Section 5(n) (Taxes) and Section 5(p) (Financials), or
(ii) failure to perform any of the obligations under the Undertaking Agreement.
In the event of any conflict between this Section 10(f) and any other section of
this Agreement, this Section 10(f) shall govern.

2. The phrase "compete with" the TSI Clubs shall mean, directly or

investigation of the subject club, and the applicable Seller's Principal(s) and

with any and all requested documents and records. At the end of such twenty (20)
day period, Town Sports shall respond in writing to the applicable Seller's
Restricted Individuals and the New Seller Club indicating its decision whether
or not to exercise its rights hereunder ("Town Sports' Response"). In the event
that Town Sports determines to exercise its right of first refusal, the closing
of the sale of the subject club shall take place as soon as reasonably possible
after Town Sports' Response. The applicable Seller's Restricted Individuals and
Town Sports, or a subsidiary of TSI, shall execute such documents and
instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the sale of the subject
club pursuant to the terms of the Written Offer and this Section 5.
6. (i) At any time from the date hereof through and including the third
(3rd) anniversary of the date hereof, Buyer,
62
TSI or an affiliate of Buyer or TSI (collectively, the "TSI Buyers") may elect
to purchase all or substantially all of the assets of any or all of the New
Seller Clubs (including the option to purchase the leasehold interest prior to
opening any such New Seller Club) at the Option Price (as defined below).
(ii) The parties agree that the "Option Price" shall be calculated
by following the following equation:
(1) adding all of the costs and expenses incurred by the
principal(s) of such New Seller Club (which shall be clearly demonstrated and
quantified), including, but not limited to, architect fees, construction costs,
advertising, payroll, permitting, professional fees, physical equipment,
improvements, furniture and fixtures, and all other costs and expenses that can
be clearly demonstrated and quantified by the principal(s) of the New Seller
Club, incurred by the principal(s) in establishing, managing and operating the
New Seller Club (the "Total Investment"), plus
(2) regardless of when the purchase occurs, the greater of (I) an
additional twenty percent (20%) per annum calculated on the amount of the Total
Investment, (II) the Total Investment plus an additional 25% percent of the
Total Investment, or (III) the Total Investment plus an additional $225,000.00
(the greater of (I), (II) or (III) hereinafter referred to as the "Premium"), in
each case minus
(3) the amount of all assets sold by the business, minus
(4) all distributions, dividends or loans to any of Seller's
Restricted Individuals or any of their affiliates or any other shareholders or
other owners of the New Seller Club, minus
(5) all amounts salaried, paid or otherwise taken out of the
business by any of the shareholders or other owners of the New Seller Club in
excess of customary and usual amounts for a health club of a similar size and
quality.
(iii) The TSI Buyers may exercise their option to purchase each of
the New Seller Clubs at different times, or may exercise the option to purchase
all of the New Seller Clubs at the same time. The purchase price shall be
comprised of at least ninety percent (90%) cash at closing with the remainder
paid in the form of promissory note by TSI, payable in one year from the closing
date. TSI shall provide, as the first draft of acquisition agreements for each
such acquisition by the TSI Buyers, the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein)
and the agreements referred to therein with the understanding that Seller's
Restricted Individuals do not consent to any terms therein, and that the parties
will negotiate all such terms in good faith; provided, however, that the
non-competition agreement
63
shall include a radius of only five (5) miles from the applicable New Seller
Club and there shall be no right of first refusal or option provisions.
7. Seller's Restricted Individuals and Buyer consider the restrictions
contained herein reasonable with respect to (i) the protection of the TSI Clubs'
businesses, (ii) time, and (iii) geographic area, and with respect to all other
matters herein. If, however, such restrictions are found by any court having
jurisdiction to be unreasonable because one or more of such restrictions are too
broad, then such restrictions will nevertheless remain effective, but shall be
amended to provide protection to business, time and geographic area in whatever
manner is considered reasonable by that court, and as so amended shall be
enforced.
8. Each of Seller's Restricted Individuals acknowledge that a breach by
any one or more of them of the provisions of this Agreement would cause
irreparable injury to Buyer and the TSI Clubs and would injure Buyer and the TSI
Clubs in a way that could not be adequately compensated by damages. With respect
to any such breach, Buyer may, in addition to any other remedies available to
it, apply for an injunction restraining the breach and/or decree for specific
performance of the terms of this Agreement, and no bond or other security shall
be required in connection with any such injunction or decree, to the extent
permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a
breach by one of Seller's Restricted Individual shall not be construed as a
breach by the other non-breaching Seller's Restricted Individuals, and Buyer
shall take legal action only against the breaching party.
9. Each of Seller's Restricted Individuals represent and warrant that as
of the date hereof, none of Seller's Restricted Individuals has any interest,
directly or indirectly, as proprietor, partner, stockholder, consultant,
manager, joint venturer, investor, lender or in any other capacity of any entity
which "competes with" the TSI Clubs' businesses.
10. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New Jersey.
11. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Seller's Restricted Individuals and Buyer, and their respective successors and
assigns.
12. This Agreement embodies or reflects the entire agreement among the
parties hereto relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
13. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived in whole or in
part at any time, except in a writing signed by each of Seller's Restricted
Individuals and Buyer.
64
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Non-Competition Agreement
on the date first set forth above.

such other place as such Payee shall designate from time to time, on August 4,

subject to and expressly limited by (i) each of the Buyers' and the Company's
right of offset under Section 10(e) of each of the above referenced asset
purchase agreements (hereinafter, collectively the "Lifestyle Acquisition
Agreements") and (ii) the terms and provisions of the Undertaking Agreement; and
provided further that, notwithstanding the fact that each of Payees is
designated to be paid a specific amount under this Note, the Company or any of
the Buyers may offset the entire amount of the required payments hereunder
against a breach by any Payee under any one of more of the Lifestyle Acquisition
Agreements. Payees acknowledge that the amount ultimately paid to each of them
may be modified due to the terms of the Undertaking Agreement and the Company's
right of offset.
In the event of a default in the payment of any amount
under this Note when due, whether upon demand or otherwise, such unpaid amounts
shall bear interest, payable upon demand, at a rate per annum of 12% computed on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days;
provided, however, that if such failure to make a payment occurs as a result of
the Company exercising its or any of the Buyers' right of offset under Section
10(e) of any of the Lifestyle Acquisition Agreements, no additional interest
shall be computed during the period in which such payment amount is in dispute.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no interest shall be payable hereunder in
excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.
At the option of the Company, this Note may be prepaid in whole or in part
at any time, or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty.
If any amount payable hereunder shall fall due on the day that is not a
business day when banks are open at the principal office of the applicable
payee, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding business day
when banks are so open.
The Company and all persons who may at any time be liable, whether
primarily or secondarily, for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this
Note, for such persons and for the heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns of such persons, hereby expressly waive presentment for payment, demand,
notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest.
This Note may not be changed, nor any provision hereof waived, orally, but
only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom any waiver,
change, modification or discharge is sought to be enforced.
This Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption
therefrom under said Act.
This Note may not be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
transferred except with the prior written consent of the Company.
This Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws
of the State of New Jersey without giving effect to its conflict of laws rules.
The Company agrees that any legal action or proceeding under or with
respect to this Note may be brought in the courts of the State of New Jersey;
and for the purpose of any such legal action or proceeding, the Company hereby
agrees to waive any objection and agrees not to raise any defense it may have
with respect to the venue of such courts or based upon forum non conveniens. The
Company also agrees not to bring any legal action
67
or proceeding under of with respect to this Note outside the State of New Jersey
unless for some reason the otherwise appropriate court in the State of New
Jersey refuses or does not have jurisdiction in the matter.
The Lifestyle Acquisition Agreements and the Undertaking Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference.
