applicable laws respecting employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours and (ii) is not engaged in any
unfair labor practice.

          2.18 Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding, claim,
               ----------

summary plan description thereof, (iii) each trust agreement and group annuity
contract, if any, relating to such Employee Plan and (iv) the most recent

          (c) With respect to the Employee Plans, individually and in the

there exists no condition or set of circumstances in connection with which any
Corporation could be subject to any liability that would have a Material Adverse
Effect on such Corporation under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law
(including the law of contracts) and that is not properly accounted for on the
Balance Sheets.

          (d) None of the Employee Plans is a "multiemployer pension plan," as
such term is defined in section 3(37) of ERISA.

any federal, state, local or foreign statute, law or regulation with respect to
the conduct of its business, or the ownership or operation of its business,
except for failures to comply or violations which would not in the aggregate
have or result in a Material Adverse Effect on such Corporation.

any of which may be waived in writing exclusively by BI:

               (a)  Representations and Warranties. The representations and
                    ------------------------------                         
warranties of the Shareholders set forth in this Agreement shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and (except to
the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date) as
of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date, except for
changes contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.1(a),
representations and warranties of the Shareholders shall be deemed true and
correct in all material respects if any breaches of such representations and
warranties do not, in the aggregate, have a "Material Adverse Effect on the
Corporations" (the preceding quote referred to herein as the "CCC Material
Adverse Effect Qualifier"); it being understood that a breach of any
representation or warranty that is already qualified by such CCC Material
Adverse Effect Qualifier, by itself, shall be deemed a failure to satisfy the
condition set forth in this Section 6.1(a).

               (b)  Performance of Obligations of the Shareholders. The
                    ----------------------------------------------

required to be performed by them under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing
Date.

opinion of Talley & Sharp, P.C., dated the Closing Date.

               (d)  Blue Sky Laws. BI shall have received all state securities
                    -------------

         6.2   Conditions to Obligations of the Shareholders. The obligation of
               ---------------------------------------------                   
the Shareholders to effect the Closing is subject to the satisfaction of each of
the following conditions, any of which may be waived, in writing, exclusively by
the Shareholders:

               (a)  Representations and Warranties. The representations and
                    ------------------------------                         
warranties of BI set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all
material respects as of the date of this Agreement and (except to the extent
such representations speak as of an earlier date) as of the Closing Date as
though made on and as of the Closing Date, except for changes contemplated by
this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.2(a), representations and
warranties of BI shall be deemed true and correct in all material respects if
any breaches of such

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
representations and warranties do not, in the aggregate, have a "Material
Adverse Effect on BI" (the preceding quote referred to herein as the "BI
Material Adverse Effect Qualifier"); it being understood that a breach of any
representation or warranty that is already qualified by such BI Material Adverse
Effect Qualifier, by itself, shall be deemed a failure to satisfy the condition
set forth in this Section 6.2(a).

               (b)  Performance of Obligations of BI. BI shall have performed in
                    --------------------------------                            
all material respects all obligations required to be performed by them under
this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date.

            -------- 

            (a) The respective representations and warranties of the
Shareholders and BI contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a

of the date two years after the Effective Time.
 
            (b) The respective covenants and agreements of the Shareholders and
BI contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall be fully
effective and enforceable for the periods therein indicated or where not

            (c) BI shall not be entitled to any indemnification under Section
7.2 with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty, covenant or
agreement after the termination thereof pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) or (b),
except for claims previously asserted pursuant to Section 7.3(a).

        7.2 Indemnification by the Shareholders.
            ----------------------------------- 

            (a) The Shareholders shall, jointly and severally, indemnify BI and
its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents
against and hold them harmless from any loss, liability, damage, demand, claim,
cost, suit, action or cause of action, judgment, award, assessment, interest,
penalty or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of
investigation and reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees, but excluding any
loss to the extent of any insurance proceeds received by BI for such loss (any
of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to individually as a "Loss" and
collectively, as "Losses") suffered or incurred by any such indemnified person
for or on account of or arising from or in

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
 
connection with (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of the
Shareholders contained in this Agreement or (ii) any breach of any covenant or
agreement of the Shareholders contained in this Agreement.

            (b) The indemnification obligation of the Shareholders with respect
to Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed $2,000,000.

        7.3 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.
            -------------------------------------- 

            (a) An indemnified person under Section 7.2 (the "Indemnified
Party") shall give prompt written notice to an indemnifying party (the
"Indemnifying Party") of any Loss in respect of which such Indemnifying Party
has a duty to indemnify such Indemnified Party under Section 7.2 (a "Claim"),
specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Loss for which indemnification
is sought, the section or sections of this Agreement to which the Claim relates
and the amount of the Loss involved (or, if not then determinable, a reasonable
good faith estimate of the amount of the Loss involved), except that any delay
or failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall only relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder to the extent, if at all, that
it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure.

            (b) If a Claim results from any claim, suit, action or cause of
action brought or asserted by a third party (a "Third Party Claim"), the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all
expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in such Third Party Claim and participate in such defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party.
If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim
within 10 days after notice thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim for
the account of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying
Party to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time prior to the compromise,
settlement or final determination thereof (except that the CCC Representative
shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim the
defense of which is not assumed within 10 days after notice thereof). Anything
in this Section 7.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Party
shall not, without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent, settle or
compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any Third Party Claim which would have an adverse effect on the
Indemnified

Party. The Indemnifying Party may, without the Indemnified Party's prior written
consent, compromise or settle any such Third Party Claim or consent to entry of
any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim which requires solely money
damages paid by the Indemnifying Party, and which includes as an unconditional
term thereof the release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified
Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim.

          (c) With respect to any Claim other than a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall have ten days from receipt of notice from the
Indemnified Party of such Claim within which to respond thereto. If the
Indemnified Party does not respond within such ten-day period, the Indemnifying
Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment and shall
have no further right to contest the validity of such Claim. If the Indemnifying
Party notifies the Indemnified Party within such ten-day period that it rejects
such Claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue
such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party under applicable law.
