on and as of the termination of the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section
8.1(e)(i) thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the
Acquisition Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(i), shall not
affect or impair the effectiveness of the guaranty provided herein with
respect to the Covered Liabilities of the Covered BSC Entities guarantied

bankruptcy, insolvency or like proceeding or otherwise, (ii) the absence of
any action to enforce the Covered Liabilities against the applicable Covered
BSC Entity, (iii) any amendment, waiver or consent by the applicable Covered
BSC Entity or the holder of a Covered Liability with respect to any provision

equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby
waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of payment (provided that
the Guarantor may require confirmation by BSC or the applicable Covered BSC
Entity that the Covered Liability is due and payable and has not been
otherwise satisfied), filing of claims with any court, any right to require a
proceeding first against the applicable Covered BSC Entity, protest or notice
with respect to the applicable Covered Liability and all demands whatsoever,
and the Guarantor hereby covenants that this Guaranty will not be discharged
except by complete performance or payment of the obligations contained in the
applicable Covered Liability and in this Guaranty in accordance with the
terms thereof and hereof, respectively.

5. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights against the applicable
Covered BSC Entity in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant
to the provisions of this Guaranty; provided, however, that the Guarantor
shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of,
such right of subrogation until the applicable Covered Liabilities shall have
been paid in full.

6. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case
may be, in respect of any Covered Liabilities if at any time payment, or any
part thereof, of said Covered Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the applicable Covered BSC Entity or any trustee for
the applicable Covered BSC Entity, all as though such payments had not been
made. This Guaranty may be enforced directly by the holder of a Covered
Liability against the Guarantor exclusively in the courts of the state of New

York.
