provided, however, that Covered Liabilities shall not include (i) any liability

Guaranty Period pursuant to commitments entered into prior to or during the
Guaranty Period), or (ii) any liability or obligation of any kind or nature with

      (c) The term "Guaranty Period" means the period commencing on the date

of BSC stockholders convened for the purpose of approving and adopting the
Acquisition Agreement, (ii) the date that is 120 days following closing of the

      3. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Guaranty and the
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall terminate and be of no further
force or effect (and the Guarantor shall have no further liability hereunder) 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 hereunder or
the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect thereto.

      4. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of (i) the enforceability of the Covered Liabilities
against the applicable Covered BSC Entity as a result of a 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 thereof or (iv) any
other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or


                                     - 3 -

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 or in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

      7. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not affect, impair or
limit any right of any Covered BSC Entity or any director, officer or employee
thereof under any insurance program, policy or contract, or release, limit the
liability of, or otherwise inure to the benefit of any insurer thereunder.

      8. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in
writing and telecopied to the Guarantor at:
