agreements with respect to BGMS, nor shall Seller enter into any agreements

policies providing coverage at least as extensive as the policy or policies
being replaced. Seller has not received any notice from any insurance company
of any defect or inadequacies in BGMS to any part thereof which would adversely
affect the insurability of BGMS, or which would increase the cost of insurance
beyond that which would ordinarily and customarily be charged for similar
business activities. BGMS is fully insured in accordance with prudent and
customary practice. Seller shall allow Buyer thirty (30) days after Closing to

3.13 Organizational Documents. Seller's Organizational Documents are in full
force and effect and have not been modified or supplemented, and no fact or
circumstance has occurred that, by itself or with the giving of notice or the
passage of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder.

manner consistent with Seller's prior practice, (ii) maintain its books of
account and records in the usual, regular and ordinary manner, in accordance

<PAGE> 10
with the basis used in keeping its books in prior years and (iii) use all
reasonable efforts to preserve intact BGMS's present business organization,
keep available the services of BGMS's present officers, partners and employees
and preserve BGMS's relationships with suppliers and others having business
dealings with it. Except as otherwise permitted hereby, from the Effective
Date until Closing, Seller shall not take any action or fail to take action the
result of which would have a material adverse effect on BGMS or Buyer's ability
to continue the operation thereof after the Closing Date in substantially the
same manner as presently conducted, or which would cause any of the
representations and warranties contained in this Article III to be untrue as of
Closing.
3.15 Bankruptcy. No Act of Bankruptcy has occurred with respect to Seller.
3.16 Environmental Claims. To Seller's knowledge, there are no current,
pending, or threatened Environmental Claims against BGMS. Furthermore, to

regulations.

repurchase rights as set forth in Exhibit F, (iii) Buyer sells, conveys or
otherwise transfers any of the Shares or the Management Contracts to any party
other than a majority-owned affiliate of Buyer, or (iv) Buyer is required to

timely payments, Seller, its assigns, officers, or directors will not provide
management services similar to those now provided by BGMS.

covenants contained in this Article III are intended for the benefit of Buyer.
Each of said representations, warranties and covenants shall survive the
Closing for a period of two (2) years, at which time they shall expire unless
prior to such time Buyer has made a formal, written claim alleging a breach of
one or more of the representations, warranties or covenants. No investigation,
audit, inspection, review or the like conducted by or on behalf of Buyer shall
be deemed to terminate the effect of any such representations, warranties and
covenants, it being understood that Buyer has the right to rely thereon and
that each such representation, warranty and covenant constitutes a material
inducement to Buyer to execute this Agreement and to close the transaction
contemplated hereby and to pay the Purchase Price to Seller. As used herein,
the term "Seller's Knowledge" shall mean the actual knowledge of Seller's
Directors, officers, or employees.
