Unfortunately my BB has died and before it happened I have managed to export my contacts.
There is no easy way though and there is no free app that will help you with that.
The easiest option is to pair with Android phone and on do export of contacts on your old Blackberry. This way BB will nicely export your whole phone book as .cvs file.

BIS, BES and Active Sync
BIS will only sync emails, but will not contacts, calendars and tasks from a mailbox on the Exchange server.

Active Sync is alternative to BES and is build to the Exchange server so it does not require additional server.
Unfortunately it is not supported by Blackberries before Blackberry 10.
