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.

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

contemplated hereby and to pay the Purchase Price to Seller. As used herein,
