WHEREAS, Boise Cascade, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Boise Cascade”), Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Boise Building”), and Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Boise Wood Products”) (Boise Cascade, Boise Building, and Boise Wood Products each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), the below defined Lenders, and Agent entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of July 13, 2011 (as amended, restated, modified, renewed or extended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Guarantor is an Affiliate of Boise Cascade, Boise Building, and Boise Wood Products and, as such, will benefit by virtue of the financial accommodations extended to Borrowers by the Lender Group; and

Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns.  Any requirement of a writing contained herein shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein.  The captions and headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

2.                                      Guarantied Obligations.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, as and for its own debt, until the final payment in full thereof (other than with respect to indemnities and other contingent Obligations not yet due and payable), in cash, has been made, (a) the due and punctual payment of the Guarantied Obligations,

2

when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, pursuant to a mandatory prepayment requirement, by acceleration, or otherwise; it being the intent of Guarantor that the guaranty set forth herein shall be a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection; and (b) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by Borrowers of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of Borrowers contained in the Credit Agreement and under each of the other Loan Documents.

3.                                      Continuing Guaranty.  This Guaranty includes Guarantied Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after prior Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future Guarantied Obligations.  If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of the Lender Group in existence on the date of such revocation, (d) no payment by Guarantor, any Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of Agent’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of Guarantor hereunder, and (e) any payment by any Borrower or from any source other than Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guarantied Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of Guarantor hereunder.

4.                                      Performance Under this Guaranty.  In the event that Borrowers fail to make any payment of any Guarantied Obligations, on or prior to the due date thereof, or if Borrowers shall fail to perform, keep, observe, or fulfill any other obligation referred to in clause (b) of Section 2 of this Guaranty in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, Guarantor immediately shall cause, as applicable, such payment in respect of the Guarantied Obligations to be made or such obligation to be performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled.

5.                                      Primary Obligations.  This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is an absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions.  Guarantor hereby agrees that it is directly, jointly and severally with any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, liable to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrowers or any other guarantor, and that a separate action may be brought against Guarantor, whether such action is brought against any Borrower or any other guarantor or whether any Borrower or any other guarantor is joined in such action.  Guarantor hereby agrees that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider of whatever remedies they may have against any Borrower or any other guarantor, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider.  Guarantor hereby agrees that any release which may be given by Agent to any Borrower or any other guarantor, or with respect to any property or asset subject to a Lien, shall not release Guarantor.  Guarantor consents and agrees that no member of the Lender Group nor any Bank Product Provider shall be under any obligation to marshal any property or assets of any Borrower or any other guarantor in favor of Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations.

3

6.                                      Waivers.

(a)                                 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Guarantor hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Agreement, or the creation or existence of any Guarantied Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Guarantied Obligations, subject, however, to Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of Agent to ascertain the amount of the Guarantied Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of Borrowers or of any other fact that might increase Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Loan Documents; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party) and demands to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

(b)                                 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Guarantor hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, to institute suit against any Borrower or any other guarantor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, has or may have against any Borrower or any other guarantor.  In this regard, Guarantor agrees that it is bound to the payment of each and all Guarantied Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, as fully as if the Guarantied Obligations were directly owing to Agent, the Lender Group, or the Bank Product Providers, as applicable, by Guarantor.  Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guarantied Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, to the extent of any such payment) of any Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower in respect thereof.

(c)                                  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Guarantor hereby waives: (i) any right to assert against any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any Borrower or any other party liable to any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of Guarantor against Borrowers or other guarantors or sureties; (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

(d)                                 Until the Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than with respect to indemnities and other contingent Obligations not yet due and payable), (i) Guarantor hereby postpones and agrees not to exercise any right of subrogation Guarantor has or may have as against Borrowers with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) Guarantor hereby postpones and agrees not to exercise any right to proceed against any Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter liable on account of the Obligations for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any other similar rights (irrespective of whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent); and (iii) Guarantor hereby postpones and agrees not to exercise any right it may have to proceed or to seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of any Borrower or any other Person now or hereafter liable on account of the Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor shall not exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and shall not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any Borrower or any other guarantor (including after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an

4

exercise of remedies in respect of the Stock of any Borrower or such other guarantor whether pursuant to the Security Agreement or otherwise.

(e)                                  If any of the Guarantied Obligations or the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time are secured by a mortgage or deed of trust upon real property, any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider may elect, in its sole discretion, upon a default with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, to foreclose such mortgage or deed of trust judicially or nonjudicially in any manner permitted by law, before or after enforcing this Guaranty, without diminishing or affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor understands that (a) by virtue of the operation of antideficiency law applicable to nonjudicial foreclosures, an election by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider to nonjudicially foreclose on such a mortgage or deed of trust probably would have the effect of impairing or destroying rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of Guarantor against Borrowers or other guarantors or sureties, and (b) absent the waiver given by Guarantor herein, such an election would estop any member of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers from enforcing this Guaranty against Guarantor.  Understanding the foregoing, and understanding that Guarantor is hereby relinquishing a defense to the enforceability of this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert against any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider any defense to the enforcement of this Guaranty, whether denominated “estoppel” or otherwise, based on or arising from an election by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider to nonjudicially foreclose on any such mortgage or deed of trust or as a result of any other exercise of remedies, whether under a mortgage or deed of trust or under any personal property security agreement.  Guarantor understands that the effect of the foregoing waiver may be that Guarantor may have liability hereunder for amounts with respect to which Guarantor may be left without rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity against Borrowers or other guarantors or sureties.

(f)                                   Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Guaranty, Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have if all or part of the Guarantied Obligations are secured by real property.  This means, among other things:

(i)                                     Any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral that may be pledged by Guarantor, any Borrower, or any other guarantor.

(ii)                                  If any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider forecloses on any real property collateral that may be pledged by Guarantor, any Borrower or any other guarantor:

(1)                                 The amount of the Guarantied Obligations or any obligations of any guarantor in respect thereof may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

(2)                                 Agent may collect from Guarantor even if any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from any Borrower or any other Guarantor.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have if all or part of the Guarantied Obligations are secured by real property.

(g)                                  WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY ANY MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP OR ANY BANK PRODUCT PROVIDER, EVEN THOUGH SUCH ELECTION OF REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY FOR THE

5

GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS, HAS DESTROYED GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST ANY BORROWER BY THE OPERATION OF APPLICABLE LAW.

(h)                                 Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby also agrees to the following waivers:

(i)                                     Agent’s right to enforce this Guaranty is absolute and is not contingent upon the genuineness, validity or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any of the Loan Documents.  Guarantor agrees that Agent’s rights under this Guaranty shall be enforceable even if Borrowers had no liability at the time of execution of the Loan Documents or the Guarantied Obligations are unenforceable in whole or in part, or any Borrower ceases to be liable with respect to all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations.

(ii)                                  Guarantor agrees that Agent’s rights under the Loan Documents will remain enforceable even if the amount guaranteed hereunder is larger in amount and more burdensome than that for which Borrowers are responsible.  The enforceability of this Guaranty against Guarantor shall continue until all sums due under the Loan Documents have been paid in full and shall not be limited or affected in any way by any impairment or any diminution or loss of value of any security or collateral for Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents, from whatever cause, the failure of any security interest in any such security or collateral or any disability or other defense of any Borrower, any other guarantor of any Borrower’s obligations under any other Loan Document, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Agent or any other person in connection with the Loan Documents.

(iii)                               Guarantor waives the right to require Agent to (A) proceed against any Borrower, any guarantor of any Borrower’s obligations under any Loan Document, any other pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Agent or any other person in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security or collateral Agent may hold, or (C) pursue any other right or remedy for Guarantor’s benefit, and agrees that Agent may exercise its right under this Guaranty without taking any action against any Borrower, any other guarantor of any Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, any pledgor of collateral for any person’s obligations to Agent or any other person in connection with the Guarantied Obligations, and without proceeding against or exhausting any security or collateral Agent holds.

7.                                      Releases.  Guarantor consents and agrees that, without notice to or by Guarantor and without affecting or impairing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider may, by action or inaction, compromise or settle, shorten or extend the Maturity Date or any other period of duration or the time for the payment of the Obligations, or discharge the performance of the Obligations, or may refuse to enforce the Obligations, or otherwise elect not to enforce the Obligations, or may, by action or inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one or more of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or may grant other indulgences to any Borrower or any other guarantor in respect thereof, or may amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any one or more of the Obligations, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount of any Obligations or the interest, fees or other amounts that may accrue from time to time in respect thereof), or may, by action or inaction, release or substitute any Borrower or any guarantor, if any, of the Guarantied Obligations, or may enforce, exchange, release, or waive, by action or inaction, any security for the Guarantied Obligations or any other guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations, or any portion thereof.

8.                                      No Election.  The Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers shall have the right to seek recourse against Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein and no election by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of the Lender Group’s or any Bank Product Provider’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless Agent, on behalf of

6

the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, has expressly waived such right in writing.  Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers under any document or instrument evidencing the Guarantied Obligations shall serve to diminish the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent that the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers finally and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations by such action or proceeding.

9.                                      Revival and Reinstatement.  If the incurrence or payment of the Guarantied Obligations or the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty by Guarantor or the transfer by Guarantor to Agent of any property of Guarantor should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

10.                               Financial Condition of Borrowers.  Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers that it is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations.  Guarantor further represents and warrants to the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers that it has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document.  Guarantor hereby covenants that it will continue to keep itself informed of Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guarantied Obligations.

11.                               Payments; Application.  All payments to be made hereunder by Guarantor shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, and without deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise) or offset and shall be applied to the Guarantied Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

12.                               Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  Guarantor agrees to pay, on demand, all attorneys fees and all other costs and expenses which may be incurred by Agent or the Lender Group in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty or in any way arising out of, or consequential to, the protection, assertion, or enforcement of the Guarantied Obligations (or any security therefor), irrespective of whether suit is brought.

13.                               Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder to Agent shall be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in accordance Section 11 of the Credit Agreement.  All notices and other communications hereunder to Guarantor shall be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in care of Borrowers in accordance with Section 11 of the Credit Agreement.

14.                               Cumulative Remedies.  No remedy under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, and those provided by law.  No delay or omission by the Lender Group or Agent on behalf thereof to exercise any right under this Guaranty shall impair any such right nor be construed to be a waiver thereof.  No failure on the part of the Lender Group or Agent on behalf thereof to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Guaranty preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

7

15.                               Severability of Provisions.  Each provision of this Guaranty shall be severable from every other provision of this Guaranty for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

16.                               Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between Guarantor and the Lender Group pertaining to the subject matter contained herein.  This Guaranty may not be altered, amended, or modified, nor may any provision hereof be waived or noncompliance therewith consented to, except by means of a writing executed by Guarantor and Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group.  Any such alteration, amendment, modification, waiver, or consent shall be effective only to the extent specified therein and for the specific purpose for which given.  No course of dealing and no delay or waiver of any right or default under this Guaranty shall be deemed a waiver of any other, similar or dissimilar, right or default or otherwise prejudice the rights and remedies hereunder.

17.                               Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers; provided, however, Guarantor shall not assign this Guaranty or delegate any of its duties hereunder without Agent’s prior written consent and any unconsented to assignment shall be absolutely null and void.  In the event of any assignment, participation, or other transfer of rights by the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, the rights and benefits herein conferred upon the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers shall automatically extend to and be vested in such assignee or other transferee.

18.                               No Third Party Beneficiary.  This Guaranty is solely for the benefit of each member of the Lender Group, each Bank Product Provider, and each of their successors and assigns and may not be relied on by any other Person.

19.                               CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
