2. DISPOSITION PLAN.
A. Undertaking to Sell. Each Borrower agrees to use its best
efforts to sell its Underperforming Properties as quickly as is reasonably
possible during the Disposition Period. With respect to each Underperforming
Property for which WAMU holds both a mortgage and equipment (or corporate
secured) Loan, the Closing of the sale of the equipment relating to such
Underperforming Property may only occur simultaneously with the Closing of the
sale of the real estate relating to such Underperforming Property. If an APA has
been executed during the Disposition Period and WAMU has received notice thereof
as provided in clause B below but Closing thereunder has been delayed beyond the
Disposition Period, WAMU agrees to extend the Disposition Period as may be
reasonably necessary to accomplish such Closing, but not beyond November 30,
2004.
B. Notice. Borrowers shall notify WAMU and Servicer in writing of
the prospective sale of any Underperforming Property by delivering to WAMU and
Servicer (i) an executed APA, and (ii) an estimate of the Borrower Collateral
Unit Net Proceeds with respect to each Borrower Collateral Unit relating to such
Underperforming Property, including a breakdown of all expenses used in its
calculation, which estimate shall be subject to WAMU's approval, not to be
unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. If more than one Underperforming
Property is being sold pursuant to an APA, the APA shall provide an allocation
of the purchase price among all Underperforming Properties included in the APA,
such allocation to be subject to WAMU's consent, not to be unreasonably
withheld. If the real estate at an Underperforming Property being sold pursuant
to an APA is owned by Luzerne, the APA shall provide that the real estate at
such Underperforming Property is being sold by Luzerne and the equipment at such
Underperforming Property is being sold by Uni-Mart, with an allocation of the
purchase price between such real estate and equipment, such allocation to be
subject to WAMU's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the
Underperforming Property being sold pursuant to an APA is an Underperforming
Property for which WAMU holds an equipment lien but not a mortgage lien, the APA
shall provide an allocation of the purchase price for such Underperforming
Property between the real estate (or leasehold interest therein) and equipment
at such Underperforming Property, such allocation to be subject to WAMU's
consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
C. Agreement to Release. During the Disposition Period, upon each
Closing WAMU shall, provided no Loan Document Default has occurred and is then
continuing and the applicable Borrower(s) is in compliance with all of its
obligations under this Agreement, upon (i) the receipt of the aggregate,
applicable Outstanding Loan Balance for the Loan or Loans corresponding to the
Underperforming Property being sold, calculated as of the date of such Closing,
and (ii) any Borrower Collateral Unit Excess Proceeds being applied as described
under subsection E below, either (x) release its liens on the applicable
Underperforming Property on the applicable Closing Date or (y) provide on such
Closing Date to the title company handling the applicable Closing written
confirmation satisfactory to them that such liens will be released promptly
after such Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of
4
clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence (in which case, WAMU shall release its
liens promptly after such Closing Date, subject to the satisfaction of clauses
(i) and (ii) of this sentence). WAMU shall have no obligation to release any
Mortgage or other security interest or lien with respect to any Underperforming
Property unless and until it has received the payment required to be made
pursuant to this Section 2 at the Closing of the sale of such Underperforming
Property. Upon the Closing for each Underperforming Property which is the
subject of the Lease, Luzerne and Uni-Mart shall release such Underperforming
Property from the Lease and terminate the recorded memorandum of lease with
respect to such Underperforming Property, provided that, the rent payable under
the Lease shall not be reduced by reason of such release and termination, except
as contemplated by Section 11(a).
D. Borrower Collateral Unit Shortfall. Upon each Closing, the
aggregate, applicable Outstanding Loan Balance for the Loan or Loans
corresponding to the Underperforming Property being sold shall be paid to WAMU
(from the Closing escrow in immediately available funds) and applied to such
Loan or Loans. (In the case of each Underperforming Property relating to the
WAMU Equipment Loan, the principal amount of the Outstanding Loan Balance
applied to the WAMU Equipment Loan shall be the WAMU Equipment Release Amount.)
Any Borrower Collateral Unit Shortfall shall be paid to WAMU by the respective
Borrower on the Closing Date (i) first, for any Crossed Collateral, from the
applicable Borrower's Cross Escrow Account to the extent funds are available in
such account, and (ii) second, from the Shortfall Loan or other funds of the
applicable Borrower.
E. Borrower Collateral Unit Excess Proceeds. At each Closing,
Borrower Collateral Unit Excess Proceeds, if any, shall be calculated by the
applicable Borrower and WAMU and shall be applied and paid:
(i) in the case of Non-Crossed Collateral,
FIRST, to WAMU, in an amount up to the Reduced Prepayment
Premium due with respect to the Loan or Loans relating to such
Non-Crossed Collateral,
SECOND, to the Shortfall Loan, to the extent that Borrower
Collateral Unit Shortfalls have previously been funded from the
Shortfall Loan, and
THIRD, (x) if no Loan Document Default has occurred and is
then continuing and the applicable Borrower is in compliance with all
of its obligations under this Agreement, to the applicable Borrower, or
(y) if a Loan Document Default has occurred and is then continuing or
if the applicable Borrower is not in compliance with all of its
obligations under this Agreement, to WAMU to be applied toward the
Obligations in such order, priority and proportions as WAMU in its
discretion shall deem proper or, in WAMU's discretion, to cure the Loan
Document Default;

that Luzerne has previously funded its own Borrower Collateral Unit
Shortfalls from the proceeds of capital contributions made to Luzerne
by Uni-Mart from the proceeds of the Shortfall Loan (in which case,
Luzerne shall remit the amount received under this clause (y) to
Uni-Mart as a return of capital and Uni-Mart shall apply such amount to
the Shortfall Loan),
SECOND, to the applicable Borrower's Cross Escrow Account.
3. CROSS ESCROW ACCOUNT. A. WAMU shall have a valid and perfected
first priority security interest in each of the Cross Escrow Accounts pursuant
to the Cross Escrow Account Security Agreements. Such security interest shall
terminate and be of no force and effect upon the distribution to WAMU of all
funds held in each Borrower's Cross Escrow Account and required to be
distributed to WAMU at the end of the Disposition Period (subject to the last
sentence of Section 2.A) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.B.
Pursuant to the Cross Escrow Account Security Agreements, Provident shall waive
(i) any and all claims, liens and interests it may have with respect to the
Luzerne Cross Escrow Account, including, without limitation, any banker's lien
or rights of set-
5
off or recoupment it may have with respect to the Luzerne Cross Escrow Account,
and (ii) any banker's lien or rights of set-off or recoupment it may have with
respect to the Uni-Mart Cross Escrow Account. Any interest accruing during the
Disposition Period on the funds on deposit in each Cross Escrow Account shall be
added to the funds on deposit in such Cross Escrow Account and shall be
disbursed in the same manner as such funds.
B. At the end of the Disposition Period (subject to the last
sentence of Section 2.A), the remainder of the funds held in each Borrower's
Cross Escrow Account shall be applied to payment of the amount of the Reduced
Prepayment Premium due with respect to the Loans relating to all of the Crossed
Collateral sold by such Borrower during the Disposition Period as contemplated
by Section 4 below. The balance, if any, remaining after such payment shall be
paid as follows:

Documents and all of its obligations under this Agreement,

Collateral Unit Shortfalls have previously been funded from
the Shortfall Loan, or (ii) in the case of the Luzerne Cross
Escrow Account, to Luzerne, to the extent that Luzerne has

shall apply such amount to the Shortfall Loan), and
SECOND, to the applicable Borrower;
(x) if a Loan Document Default has occurred and is then

Obligations in such order, priority and proportions as WAMU in its
discretion shall deem proper or, in WAMU's discretion, to cure the Loan
Document Default;
(y) if no Loan Document Default has occurred and is then
continuing and the applicable Borrower is in compliance with all of its
obligations under this Agreement but is not in compliance with its
property fixed charge coverage ratio covenants contained in the Loan
Documents (tested for the 12 full months immediately preceding the end

the Disposition Period), to WAMU, and, in WAMU's discretion, such
amount shall either be (i) applied toward the Obligations (other than
prepayment premiums due with respect to the Loans relating to all of

Period, as to which the provisions of Section 4 and the first sentence
of Section 3.B shall apply) in such order, priority and proportions as
WAMU in its discretion shall deem proper, (ii) pledged to WAMU to
secure such Obligations (either through an account security agreement
or the purchase of a letter of credit), or (iii) remitted to the
applicable Borrower.
4. REDUCED PREPAYMENT PREMIUM. Upon the Closing of each sale of
Non-Crossed Collateral, the applicable Borrower shall pay, to the extent of
available Borrower Collateral Unit Excess Proceeds, and WAMU shall accept, an
amount equal to the Reduced Prepayment Premium due with respect to the Loan
relating to such Non-Crossed Collateral, in full satisfaction of the prepayment
premium payable under the Loan Documents with respect to such Non-Crossed
Collateral. With respect to Crossed Collateral, upon the conclusion of the
Disposition Period, each Borrower and WAMU shall determine if the aggregate
Borrower Collateral Unit Net Proceeds from the sale of such Borrower's Crossed
Collateral exceeds the aggregate Outstanding Loan Balance paid to WAMU with
respect to the Crossed Collateral sold by such Borrower. Within 10 days after
the expiration of the Disposition Period, Cross-Collateralized Excess Proceeds

5. CROSSED COLLATERAL. Uni-Mart and Luzerne acknowledge and agree
that:
(i) each Mortgage encumbering a Property corresponding to a
mortgage Loan made to Luzerne secures all Loans made to Luzerne and,
consequently, all Luzerne Mortgage Collateral is Crossed Collateral of
Luzerne for purposes of the provisions of this Agreement;
(ii) each Mortgage encumbering a Property corresponding to a
mortgage Loan made to Uni-Mart only secures such mortgage Loan, and,
consequently, the Uni-Mart Mortgage Collateral is Non-Crossed
Collateral for purposes of this Agreement; and
(iii) each Property is subject to an equipment lien and
security interest granted by Uni-Mart which secures all mortgage and
equipment Loans made to Uni-Mart or Luzerne (including the WAMU
Equipment Loan), and consequently, all Uni-Mart Equipment Collateral is
Crossed Collateral for purposes of the provisions of this Agreement.

10
(iii) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this
Agreement, the Lease and all rights, title, interest, liens, powers and

Properties by Uni-Mart; and

any related documents is solely that of a long-term commercial lease
between landlord and tenant and has been entered into by both parties

violation of such covenants by Uni-Mart.
10. FORBEARANCE. During the Disposition Period, WAMU shall forbear
and refrain from enforcing any property fixed charge coverage ratio covenants,
corporate fixed charge coverage ratio covenants or net worth covenants contained
in the Loan Documents; provided that, such agreement to forbear and refrain (i)
shall immediately, without notice to any of the Borrowers, or an opportunity to
cure, terminate upon the occurrence of a Loan Document Default or the occurrence
of a breach or default by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement, (ii) shall
not limit WAMU's right under Section 3.B to receive from any Borrower's Cross
Escrow Account the amount necessary to cure any non-compliance by such Borrower

immediately preceding the end of the Disposition Period) in accordance with the
terms of Section 10.A(6) of the applicable mortgage Loan Agreement, (iii) shall
not be deemed to waive any other default that may occur under the Loan
Documents, and (iv) shall terminate at the end of the Disposition Period
(subject to Section 11(b)).
11. POST DISPOSITION PERIOD AMENDMENTS. (a) Promptly after the end
of the Disposition Period, Luzerne and Uni-Mart shall enter into an amendment to
the Lease to reduce the base annual rental payable thereunder to an amount to be
negotiated by the parties in good faith based on the Properties then remaining
in the Lease, the annual debt service payments then due under the Notes with
respect to such Properties, and appropriate gross ups to such debt service
payments to take into account potential increases in the variable interest rate
relating to such Notes. WAMU's prior written consent shall be required with
respect to such amendment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned by WAMU.
(b) Promptly after the end of the Disposition Period, Uni-Mart and
WAMU shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to Uni-Mart's Loan Agreements to
revise the minimum net worth covenant contained therein to an appropriate dollar
amount based on the properties and assets then owned by Uni-Mart (after the sale
of the properties to be sold pursuant to this Agreement and the LaSalle Master
Property Disposition Agreements) and its then capital structure.
12. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. Each of the following shall be deemed an
event of default by the Borrowers under this Agreement (each, an "Event of
Default"):
11

Borrowers set forth in this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents is false in any material respect or if any of the Borrowers
renders any written statement or account which is false in any material
respect;
(ii) If any of the Borrowers fails to keep or perform any
of the other covenants, conditions, or obligations of this Agreement
beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and cure or grace
periods set forth in this Agreement;
(iii) If any of the Borrowers is or becomes insolvent
within the meaning of the Code, files or notifies WAMU that it intends
to file a petition under the Code, initiates a proceeding under any
similar law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, winding up or adjustment of debts (each, an "Action"),
becomes the subject of either a petition under the Code or an Action,
or is not generally paying its debts as the same become due;
(iv) If a Loan Document Default shall occur and be
continuing; or
(v) If there is a breach or default under the Shortfall
Loan which continues beyond the expiration of all applicable notice and
cure or grace periods.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, WAMU may exercise, at its option,
concurrently, successively or in any combination, all remedies available at law
or in equity. A breach or default by any Borrower under this Agreement shall be
deemed an "Event of Default" under the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is
a party.
13. SHORTFALL LOAN. (a) Uni-Mart shall not amend or modify any of
the provisions of the Shortfall Loan Agreement or the Junior Security Agreement
without providing at least fifteen (15) calendar days' prior written notice to

Agreement, the aggregate maximum principal amount outstanding under the

covenants and agrees that the maximum principal amount outstanding under the
Existing Revolvers shall not exceed $11,000,000.

preparation fee customarily charged by Servicer with respect to releases of the
liens held by WAMU against each Underperforming Property sold during the
Disposition Period.

parties hereto that all provisions of this Agreement shall be governed

deems such proceeding necessary or advisable to exercise remedies
available under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
