Section 4. Action with
Respect to Guarantied Obligations . The Guarantied Parties may,
at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor
from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described

and Warranties . Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and

warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way
relating to such Guarantor in the Term Loan Agreement, the other
Loan Documents, or Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and
any Guarantied Party, as if the same were set forth herein in
full.
Section 6. Covenants .
Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is
to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Term
Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 7. Waiver . Each
Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing,
or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any
manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or
which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its
obligations hereunder.
Section 8. Inability to
Accelerate Loan . If the Agent and/or the other Guarantied
Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from
demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied
Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent
and/or the other Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive
from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise
would have been due had such demand or acceleration
occurred.
Section 9. Reinstatement of
Guarantied Obligations . If claim is ever made on the Agent or
any other Guarantied Party for repayment or recovery of any amount
or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such other Guarantied
Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any
judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of
any such claim effected by the Agent or such other Guarantied Party
with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in
bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or
compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation
hereof or the cancellation of the Term Loan Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents, any Interest Rate Agreement between the
Borrower and any Guarantied Party, or any other instrument
evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall
be and remain liable to the Agent or such other Guarantied Party
for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if
such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent or such
other Guarantied Party.
Section 10. Subrogation
. Each Guarantor hereby forever waives to the fullest extent
possible any and all claims such Guarantor may have against the
Borrower arising out of any payment by such Guarantor to the Agent
and the other Guarantied Parties of any of the obligations pursuant
to this Guaranty, including, but not limited to, all such claims of
such Guarantor arising out of any right of subrogation, indemnity,
reimbursement, contribution, exoneration, payment or any other
claim, cause of action, right or remedy against the Borrower,
whether such claim arises at law, in equity, or out of any written
or oral agreement between or among such Guarantor, the Borrower or
otherwise. The waivers set forth above are intended by each
Guarantor, the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties to be for the
benefit of the Borrower, and such waivers shall be enforceable by
the Borrower, or any of their successors or assigns, as an absolute
defense to any action by such Guarantor against the Borrower or the
assets of the Borrower, which action arises out of any payment by
the Borrower to the Agent or other Guarantied Parties upon any of
these obligations. The waivers set forth herein may not be revoked
by any Guarantor without the prior written consent of the Agent and
the Borrower.
Section 11. Payments Free
and Clear . All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder,
whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or
otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim
or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes),
and if such Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by any
Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding,
provided the requirements set forth in Section 3.10 of the
Term Loan Agreement are satisfied, such Guarantor shall pay to the
Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the
receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable
hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been
required.
Section 12. Set-off . In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the
other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation
of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent and
each other Guarantied Party, at any time or from time to time,
during the continuance of any Event of Default without any prior
notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or its
Affiliate, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the
Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set-off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any
other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such
Lender or any Affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the
credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of
any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall
be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest
extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may
exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with
respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a
direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such
participation.
Section 13.
Subordination . Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants
and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the other Guarantied
Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to
such Guarantor of whatever description, including without
limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the
Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied
Obligations. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect
payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff or otherwise) from
the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any
Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full.
Section 14. Avoidance
Provisions . It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and
the other Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such
Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not
exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the
obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations
of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties) to
be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such
Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without
limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of
1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and
(b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act
or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of
Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The
Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or
unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or
any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other
Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are
referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly,
to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would
otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions,
the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall
be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of
the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been
incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of
such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties), to
be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance
Provisions. This Section is intended solely to
preserve the rights of the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties
hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance
under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other
Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against
the Agent and the other Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise
be available to such Person under the Avoidance
Provisions.
Section 15. Information
. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the financial condition of the Loan Parties, and
of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent
of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and
agrees that neither the Agent nor any other Guarantied Party shall
have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information
regarding such circumstances or risks.
Section 16. Governing
Law . THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN
SUCH COMMONWEALTH.
SECTION 17. LITIGATION;
JURISDICTION; OTHER MATTERS; WAIVERS .
(a) EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE
AGENT AND THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS
HEREOF, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR
AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER GUARANTIED
PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND
FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.
ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE
AGENT, THE OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY
WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF
ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY
BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS
GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF
ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE
AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.
(b) EACH GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, AND
EACH OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF,
HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE EASTERN
DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE
COURT LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, SHALL
HAVE
JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, OR ANY OF THE
OTHER GUARANTIED PARTIES, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS
GUARANTY, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING
HEREFROM OR THEREFROM OR THE COLLATERAL. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF
THE GUARANTIED PARTIES EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO
SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH
COURTS.
(c) EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT
TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.
(d) THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY
ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER GUARANTIED PARTY OR THE
ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN
SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
(e) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN
MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF
THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF
THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS
GUARANTY.
Section 18. Loan
Accounts . The Agent and each Lender may maintain books and
accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other
sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations
arising under or in connection with the Term Loan Agreement, and in
the case of any dispute relating to any of the Guarantied
Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts
shall constitute prima facie evidence of the outstanding amount of
such Guarantied Obligations and the amounts paid and payable with
respect thereto absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent or
any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way
relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations
hereunder.
Section 19. Waiver of
Remedies . No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any
other Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy it
may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate
as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent
or any other Guarantied Party of any such right or remedy shall
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other such right or remedy.
Section 20. Termination
. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the
indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the
other Obligations and the termination or cancellation of the Term
Loan Agreement and all Interest Rate Agreements between the

Assigns . Each reference herein to the Agent or any other
Guarantied Party shall be deemed to include such Person’s
respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to,
any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the
provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference
herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such
Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty
also shall be binding. The Guarantied Parties may, in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Term Loan Agreement and any
Interest Rate Agreement between the Borrower and any Guarantied
Party, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligations, or
grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligation, to any
Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and
without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the
delivery by the Agent or any other Guarantied Party to any Assignee
or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any
financial or other information regarding any Loan Party. No
Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any
Person without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any
such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have
not so consented shall by null and void.

SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS . THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS
HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH
