NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants contained herein, and the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00), paid in hand by each party to the other, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of all of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.       Amendment of Loan Documents.  The Mortgage is amended hereby such that all references therein to the “Mortgage” shall be deemed to include all amendments and modifications thereto (including, without limitation, this Amendment), as may now exist or as may be hereafter executed by Mortgagor and Administrative Agent.

2.       Relationship of Mortgagor and Borrower.  Mortgagor acknowledges that it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Borrower. Mortgagor further acknowledges that it received a material and substantial benefit by entering into the Mortgage, and is receiving a material and substantial benefit from the extension of the maturity of the Credit Agreement, because Borrower made funds available to Mortgagor for the purchase of the Property and without the granting of the Mortgage to Administrative Agent said funds would not have been available to Borrower, and accordingly, Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the Mortgage was at the time made supported by reasonable and adequate consideration. Further, Mortgagor did not intend to defraud any of its creditors by execution and delivery of the Mortgage. Mortgagor was not insolvent, and Mortgagor was not rendered insolvent by virtue of such Mortgage. Mortgagor entered into the Mortgage, and is consenting hereby to the Sixth Amendment, after a determination by Mortgagor that, in its opinion, the fair market value of the benefits to be derived by it from such execution of the Mortgage and the extension of maturity effected by the Sixth Amendment equaled or exceeded the cost and expense incurred by Mortgagor under or in connection with the Mortgage.

3.       Consent to Sixth Amendment.  Mortgagor consents to each and every term of the Sixth Amendment and acknowledges that the term of the Credit Agreement is extended thereby.

4.       Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument; and any signature page from any such counterpart or any electronic facsimile thereof may be attached or appended to any other counterpart to complete a fully executed counterpart of this Agreement and any telecopy or other facsimile transmission of any signature shall be deemed an original and shall bind such party.

5.       Governing Law.    This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.

6.       Binding; Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

7.       Ratification.    The Loan Documents, as amended herein and by the Sixth Amendment, remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, and Mortgagor and Administrative Agent hereby ratify and affirm the same. Mortgagor acknowledges that it is fully obligated under the terms of the Mortgage, that it has no offsets or defenses with

respect to its obligations thereunder, and that it has no claims or counterclaims against Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, whether related to the Loan or otherwise.

8.       No Novation.  Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders hereby agree that nothing herein or in the other Loan Documents, as modified hereby, shall in any way waive Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights, powers or remedies under the Loan Documents; (ii) shall in any way limit, impair or prejudice Administrative Agent or Lenders from exercising any past, present or future right, power or remedy from and after the date hereof under the Loan Documents; and (iii) shall not constitute or be deemed to be a novation of the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

9.       Incorporation of Recitals.    The recitals set forth at the beginning of this Amendment are confirmed by the parties as true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference. The recitals are a substantive, contractual part of this Amendment.
