# BigCodeBench/12

Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.

Allowed libraries: `subprocess`, `datetime`, `json`, `os`.

```python
import subprocess
import os
import json
from datetime import datetime


def task_func(script_name='backup.sh', log_file='/home/user/backup_log.json'):
    """
    Runs the provided backup shell script and logs the start time, end time, and exit status 
    in a specified JSON log file.
    
    Parameters:
    - script_name (str): The name of the shell script to run. Default is 'backup.sh'.
    - log_file (str): The path to the JSON log file where the execution details will be recorded. Default is '/home/user/backup_log.json'.
    
    Returns:
    dict: A dictionary containing:
        - 'start_time': The start time of the script execution in the format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'.
        - 'end_time': The end time of the script execution in the format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'.
        - 'exit_status': The exit status of the script execution (0 for success, other values indicate an error).
    
    Raises:
    - FileNotFoundError: If the script file does not exist.
    - RuntimeError: If there is an error executing the script.
        
    Requirements:
    - subprocess
    - os
    - datetime
    - json
    
    Example:
    >>> task_func()
    {'start_time': '2023-09-19 14:30:00', 'end_time': '2023-09-19 14:35:00', 'exit_status': 0}
