actions against Tenant for any and all sums due at the time of which, under the
terms hereof, would in the future become due, nor shall the bringing of any
action for rent or breach of covenant, or the resort to any other remedy herein
provided for the recovery of rent be construed as a waiver of the right to
obtain possession of the premises.
16. ATTORNMENT. In the event of the sale or assignment of Landlord's
----------
interest in the building of which the demised premises is a part or in the event
of exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage made by Landlord covering

purchaser and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this lease.
17. SUBORDINATION. At the option of Landlord or Landlord's permanent
-------------
tender, or both of them, this lease and the Tenant's interest hereunder shall be

of trust, or such other security instrument or instruments, including all
renewals, extension, consolidations, assignments and refinances of the same, as
well as all advances made upon the security thereof, which now or hereafter
become liens upon the landlord's fees and/or leasehold interest in the demised
premises, and/or any and all of the buildings now or hereafter erected or to be
erected and/or any and all of the land comprising the office building, provided,
however, that in each such case, the holder of such other security, the trustee

------------------------------------
when, the lease shall be determined by term, covenant, limitation or condition
broken, as aforesaid, either during the original term of this lease, or any
extension thereof, and also when and as soon as the term hereby created, or any
extension thereof shall have expired, it shall be lawful for any attorney or
attorneys for Tenant, including an attorney of any court of record who might be
empowered to appear for Tenant in any action brought for rent, to sign an
agreement for entering in any competent court an amicable action and Confess
-------
Judgement in ejectment, without any stay of execution or appeal against Tenant
---------
and all persons claiming under Tenant for the recovery of Landlord of possession
of the herein demised premises, without any liability on the part of the said
attorney, for which this shall be a sufficient warrant; whereupon, if Landlord
desires, a writ of habere facias possessionem with clauses of fierir facias for
costs may issue forthwith without any prior writ of proceedings whatsoever. And
provided that if for any reason after such action has then commenced the same
shall be determined and the possession of the premises hereby demised remain in
or to be restored to Tenant, the Landlord shall have the right in any subsequent
default or defaults to bring one or more further amicable actions in the manner
and form hereinbefore set forth to recover possession of said premises for such
subsequent default. No such determination of this lease, no taking, nor
recovering possession of the premises shall deprive Landlord of any remedies or
action against Tenant for rent or for damages due or to become due for the
breach of any condition or covenant herein contained, nor shall the bringing of
any such action for rent, or breach of covenant or condition nor the resort to
any other remedy herein provided for the recovery of rent or damages for such
breach be considered as a waiver of the right to insist upon the forfeiture and
to obtain possession in the manner herein provided.
7
22. NO IMPLIED EVICTION. Notwithstanding any interference to the
-------------------
contrary herein contained, it is understood that the exercise by Landlord of any
of its rights hereunder shall never be deemed an eviction (constructive or
otherwise) of tenant, or a disturbance of its use of the demised premises, and
shall in no event render Landlord liable to Tenant or any other person, so long
as such exercise of rights is in accordance with the foregoing terms and
conditions.
23. TIME TO REMEDY DEFAULT. Landlord shall have a right to exercise
----------------------
any remedy for default by Tenant and Tenant shall be deemed to be in default
without any prior written or oral notice thereof.
24. LITIGATION INVOLVING LANDLORD AND AGENT. In the event that
---------------------------------------
Landlord or Agent shall without fault on its part be made a party to any
litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then, and to such extent Tenant shall

arising therefrom, and shall pay all of Landlord's costs, expenses and
attorney's fees.
25. CONDEMNATION. If the whole of the premises shall be acquired or
------------

terminate as of the date on which possession of the premises is required to be

terms and conditions of the lease and the Tenant shall not within thirty (30)

after the then current term, as aforesaid, give the Tenant ten (10) days written

---------------
obligation and/or waiver contained in this lease, or any amendment, addendum,

if any such term, remedy, provision, condition, obligation and/or waiver is
declared unenforceable or unconstitutional, or invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction or by any act of Congress or by any other governmental authority,
such decision, statute, ordinance or regulation will not affect in any manner
the enforceability or validity of any other term, remedy, provision, condition,

virtue and effect.
30. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. It is expressly understood and agreed by and
----------------

---------------------------------
THIS GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT ("Guaranty") is made of this 3rd day
---
of May, 2001, by ▇▇▇▇ North America Holding, Inc. ("Guarantor") for the benefit
---
of Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc. ("Sublandlord").
Background
----------
A. Spectrum Managed Health Care ("Subtenant") is the subtenant under that
certain Sublease Agreement with Sublandlord dated even date herewith (the
"Sublease").
B. The promise by Guarantor to execute this Guaranty, and the ultimate
execution of this Guaranty by Guarantor, were material inducements to
Sublandlord to enter into and execute the Sublease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein,
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby and to incorporate
the above recitals herein, Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to Sublandlord the full
and prompt payment by Subtenant of all Fixed Rent payable under the Sublease as
the same shall become due, whether on the stated payment date, by acceleration
on default, or otherwise.
2. This shall be an agreement of suretyship as well as of guaranty and
without being required to proceed first against Subtenant or any other person or
entity or against any other security for Subtenant's obligations to Sublandlord,
Sublandlord may proceed directly against Guarantor upon an event of default
under the Sublease, provided that Sublandlord shall have afforded the Guarantor
the same notice and cure rights to be provided to Subtenant under the Sublease.
This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the satisfaction by
Subtenant of all obligations of Subtenant under the Sublease, including until
all sums due under the Sublease have been paid in full to Sublandlord and until
all such sums received by Sublandlord are not subject to rescission or repayment
upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of Subtenant.
3. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to give Guarantor any
right of subrogation in and to the Sublease of all or any part of Sublandlord's
interest in the Sublease or any other right or rights of subrogation, until all
amounts owning to Landlord have been paid in
1
full, and until all such sums received by Sublandlord are not subject to
rescission or repayment upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of Subtenant.
4. All rights and remedies of Sublandlord under this Guaranty, the
Sublease, or by law are separate and cumulative, and the exercise of one shall
not limited or prejudice the exercise of any other such rights or remedies.
5. In the event of any litigation under this Guaranty, the prevailing
party will reimburse the other party, upon demand, for all expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees).
6. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties and their successors and assigns. Provided, however, that Guarantor
shall not be permitted to assign its obligations hereunder.
7. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this
Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
8. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed according to the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and any and all litigation in any
manner arising out of or relating to this Guaranty shall be brought and
maintained in the Court of Common Pleas of the county in which the real property
subject to the Sublease is situate. This Guaranty may be delivered by telecopy,
to be followed by delivery of the hard copy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Guarantor had executed and sealed this Guaranty as of
the day and year first above written.
