Administrative Agent strictly in accordance with the express terms
of any document or agreement evidencing any Guaranty

Section 4.
Waiver . The Guarantor hereby waives

demand, protest, notice of protest and dishonor, notice of default,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and any
other notice with respect to any of the Guaranty Obligations and
this Guaranty, (b) any requirement that the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders protect, secure, perfect or insure any
security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against BLFC or any other
Person or entity or any collateral or that BLFC or any other Person
or entity be joined in any action hereunder, (c) the defense
of the statute of limitations in any action under this Guaranty or
for the collection or performance of the Guaranty Obligations,

Guaranty Obligations except to the extent that any error or
omission is caused by such guaranteed party’s bad faith,
gross negligence or willful misconduct, (f) any rights to
set-offs and counterclaims and (g) any defense based upon an
election of remedies which destroys or impairs the subrogation
rights of the Guarantor or the right of the Guarantor to proceed
against BLFC or any other obligor of the Guaranty Obligations for
reimbursement. All dealings between BLFC or the Guarantor, on
the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the
other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been
had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Should the
Administrative Agent seek to enforce the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder by action in any court, the Guarantor waives
any necessity, substantive or procedural, that a judgment
previously be rendered against BLFC or any other Person, or that
any action be brought against BLFC or any other Person, or that
BLFC or any other Person should be joined in such cause. Such
waiver shall be without prejudice to the Administrative Agent at
its option to proceed against BLFC or any other Person, whether by
separate action or by joinder. The Guarantor further
expressly waives each and every right to which it may be entitled
by virtue of the suretyship law of the State of New York or any
other applicable jurisdiction.
Section 5.
Several Obligations; Continuing Guaranty . The
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are separate and apart from
BLFC or any other Person (other than the Guarantor), and are
primary obligations concerning which the Guarantor is the principal
obligor. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a
continuing guaranty and that it shall not be discharged except by
payment in full of the Guaranty Obligations, termination of the
Commitments and complete performance of the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder
shall not be affected in any way by the release or discharge of
BLFC from the performance of any of the Guaranty Obligations,
whether occurring by reason of law or any other cause, whether
similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.
4
Section 6.
Subrogation Rights . If any amount shall be paid to
the Guarantor on account of subrogation rights at any time when all
the Guaranty Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be
applied to the Guaranty Obligations as specified in the Loan
Documents. If (a) the Guarantor makes a payment to the
Administrative Agent of all or any part of the Guaranty Obligations
and (b) all the Guaranty Obligations have been paid in full
and the Commitments have terminated, the Administrative Agent will,
at the Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the
Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without
representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of any
interest in the Guaranty Obligations resulting from such payment by
the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall have
no rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
or indemnification or any right to participate in any claim or
remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against BLFC with
respect to amounts due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
until such time as all obligations of BLFC to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent have been paid in full, the Commitments have
been terminated and the Credit Agreement has been
terminated.
