  (a)  An aggregate of 502,621 shares of Common Stock are beneficially
owned by the Funds.  Such shares of Common Stock represent approximately
4.2% of the Common Stock of HERS outstanding as of December 2, 1997.  Of

(0.1% of the outstanding shares), while 70,647 shares of Common Stock are
beneficially owned by BF III (0.6% of the outstanding shares), while
216,534 shares of Common Stock are beneficially owned by T III (1.8% of
the outstanding shares), while 46,190 shares of Common Stock are
beneficially owned by BF IV (0.4% of the outstanding shares), and 155,800
shares of Common Stock are beneficially owned by T IV (1.3% of the
outstanding shares).  To the best knowledge and belief of the Funds, no

  (b)  The Funds have the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, and
the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, all of the
shares beneficially owned by them as set forth in paragraph (a) above.  As
set forth in Item 2(a)(iv), Charles J. Moore as portfolio manager has the
power to vote and to dispose of the issuer's securities, subject in the
case of BF II to approval of disposition by the Investment Committee.

  (c)  On November 24, 1997, the Funds' ownership of shares of Common
Stock of HERS decreased by more than 1% of the adjusted outstanding shares
of said class since Amendment #3 on September 25, 1995.  The Funds have
