5.7. Approval Orders. The Court shall have entered the Approval Orders
and no court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a Stay of any or all

modifications unacceptable to Omega, and the Approval Order shall include,
without limitation, provisions substantially as follows (or as otherwise agreed
in writing by Omega):
(i) Findings determining that notice of the Approval Motion and
hearing thereon have been adequate under the circumstances;
(ii) Findings that the consideration provided to the Mariner Entities
by Omega is adequate;
(iii) Findings that proceeding with those matters provided for in the
Agreement is in the best interest of the Mariner Entities and their
respective creditors;
(iv) The occurrence of a Delivery Event in accordance with the terms
and conditions of Article 10 of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement,
but not otherwise, will be a legal, valid, and effective transfer of all of
the remaining right, title, and interest of PHCM, LC-PHCM and their
respective estates in the Facilities, and will vest in Omega or its nominee
fee simple title to the Facilities, subject to all liens, encumbrances,
covenants and restrictions of record, but free and clear of the Amended
Facility Leases.
(v) Upon the delivery of the Escrow Documents by the Escrow Agent to
Omega or its nominee as to one, more than one, or all of the Facilities (a
"Delivery"), New PHCM shall be entitled to a credit against the amount owed
by it under the Amended Omega Loan Documents in an amount equal to the fair
market value of the Facility or Facilities covered by the delivered Escrow
Documents. A Delivery shall be in satisfaction of PHCM's obligations under
the Amended Omega Loan Documents only to the extent of the fair market
value of the Facilities covered by the delivered Escrow Documents: and
following a Delivery, the Amended Omega Loan Documents shall continue in
full force and effect and Omega shall have the right to pursue collection
of the remaining balance owing to it and the enforcement of any other
rights and remedies which Omega may have thereunder. In particular, and not
in limitation of the foregoing, Omega's security interest in the accounts
and other intangible property relating to the Facilities shall continue in
full force and effect, to the extent that the Omega Loan Obligations have
not then been satisfied.
(vi) The acceptance by Omega or its nominee of the Escrow Documents as
to one, more than one, or all of the Facilities will not result in the
merger of title; and Omega shall continue to have the right to foreclose on
any liens created or continued by the Amended Omega Loan Documents.
(vi) Neither Omega nor its nominee by acceptance of one or more of the
Escrow Documents shall be deemed to have assumed or agreed to pay any of
the debts or obligations of any of the Mariner Entities.
(vii) Omega would not have entered into this Agreement and would not
have consummated the transactions contemplated herein, without the
protections and findings included within the Approval Order.
(viii) The transactions proposed under this Agreement are fair and
reasonable to the Mariner Entities. The value to be received thereunder by
the Mariner Entities for the terms and remedies of this Agreement are fair
and reasonable. The consideration provided to the Mariner Entities by Omega
is fair and adequate.
(ix) This Agreement is in the best interests of the Mariner Entities
and their respective estates, creditors and holders of equity interests.
(x) The Mariner Entities and their officers and directors are
sophisticated commercial actors, and have been represented by counsel in
negotiating this Agreement, including the provisions relating to the
escrow, and the termination of the protections of the automatic stay in
future cases under the Bankruptcy Code under certain circumstances.
(xi) Creditors and other interested parties in the present case have
had adequate notice and opportunity to object to this Agreement, including
the provisions regarding the escrow and the termination of the automatic
stay in future cases under the Bankruptcy Code under certain circumstances,
and will be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and such escrow and
termination provisions in subsequent bankruptcy cases in which the Mariner
Entities or any of them are debtors.
(xii) The Mariner Entities have articulated good and sufficient
reasons for approving this Agreement, including without limitation, (A) the
provisions regarding prospective relief from the automatic stay under
certain circumstances that may be imposed in future bankruptcy cases; (B)
the provisions relating to 11 U.S.C. ss. 108; and (C) the forum selection
or venue provision governing any future bankruptcy cases. The Court finds
that these provisions, by making the settlement possible, provide a
significant benefit to the estate, and are enforceable.
(xiii) With respect to prospective relief from the automatic stay
under certain circumstances, the Court finds good cause for this aspect of
the parties' bargain, for at least the following reasons. This aspect of
the transaction is essential to the bargain struck between the parties, as
it was in part the quid pro quo for Omega's agreement to forego seeking
such relief in this proceeding and to make the other substantial
concessions that Omega is making under this Agreement in this proceeding.
These concessions provide significant benefit to the Mariner Entities,
their estates, and their creditors.
(xiv) The provisions granting prospective relief from the automatic
stay under certain circumstances do not prevent the Mariner Entities from
seeking the protection of the Bankruptcy Code, but involve only limited
aspects of that protection, namely the automatic stay only as it pertains
to the delivery of the Escrow Deeds out of escrow upon specified, limited
conditions. If injunctive relief becomes necessary to protect the Mariner
Entities in such future proceedings, the Bankruptcy Code and Rules provide
an appropriate mechanism.
(xv) Under the circumstances of this case, the Mariner Entities or
their subsequent estates should not be permitted to invoke 11
U.S.C.ss.108(b) in any subsequent bankruptcy cases in which PHCM, LC-PHCM,
or both, are debtors, with respect to PHCM's cure rights, rights of
redemption or similar rights regarding the Facilities, in those limited
circumstances where such bankruptcy cases have been filed after the
occurrence of a prepetition Delivery Event. In view of the waiver by PHCM
and LC-PHCM of redemption and related rights upon the occurrence of a
prepetition Delivery Event prior to such subsequent bankruptcy cases, the
inapplicability ofss.108(b) under such limited circumstances works no
injustice to the Mariner Entities because, upon the occurrence of a future
prepetition Delivery Event, they will have no right, title, or interest in
the Facilities. Moreover, in the limited circumstances in which a
prepetition Delivery Event has occurred and the Mariner Entities no longer
have any right, title or interest in the Facilities, the application
ofss.108(b) should not be permitted to delay the swift transfer of the
Facilities to Omega or its designee.
(xvi) The Court also finds that the provisions of the Agreement
pertaining to the venue of any subsequent bankruptcy case for PHCM, LC-PHCM
and the Michigan Subsidiaries are reasonable and enforceable. Requiring
such future cases to be conducted in the Court advances the interests of
judicial economy, because the Court has devoted substantial time to these
cases and has familiarized itself with the issues unique to these debtors
and their industry.
(xvii) Nursing home bankruptcies present extremely complex issues
affecting not only the parties before the Court, but also a particularly
vulnerable class of interested parties whose interests are not necessarily
presented to the Court, namely the residents and patients. Requiring future
cases to be conducted in this Court will likely expedite the resolution of
many issues, and also relieve some other court of the burden of
familiarizing itself with the issues and parties.
(xviii) Venue, unlike subject matter jurisdiction, may be waived by
agreement or conduct, and the "venue provisions relating to bankruptcy are
not more sacred." Xxxx v. Bankers Trust Co., 799 F.2d 1060 (5th Cir. 1986)
(upholding consent order requiring debtor to file bankruptcy case in
particular district). Therefore, the provisions requiring that any future
bankruptcy case involving PHCM, LC-PHCM or the Michigan Subsidiaries as
debtors be filed in the Court are enforceable.
(xix) The use of the funds in the PHCM Debtors' Account for the
purposes contemplated herein is approved and, to the extent necessary, the
Cash Collateral Order is modified accordingly.
(xx) During the pendency of the Cases, any breach of the Settlement
Documents by the PHCM Debtors will give rise to an administrative claim in
the Cases of the PHCM Debtors (and only of the PHCM Debtors) in favor of
Omega.
5.8. Notice. Within a reasonable time following the filing with the
Court of the Approval Motions, and prior to the hearing and relevant objection
date, the Mariner Entities shall have served notice of the Approval Motions in a
form acceptable to Omega upon those persons entitled to such notice under the
terms of the notice procedures order entered by the Court on or about the
Petition Date.
5.9. Chase/Lender Approval. Omega shall have received evidence
satisfactory to it that The Chase Manhattan Bank, in its capacity as
administrative agent for the Mariner Entities' pre-petition senior secured
lenders and as administrative agent for the Mariner Entities'
debtor-in-possession lender (individually and in its capacity as agent as
aforesaid, "Chase"), has approved and consented to the transactions contemplated
under this Agreement and all related documents, and has agreed that Chase shall
not seek to set aside the contemplated transactions or any part thereof.

the Omega Loan, an annual amendment fee (the "Annual Amendment Fee") for each
fiscal year ending after the Closing Date (or partial year with respect to the
fiscal year in which the Omega Loan is paid in full), in an amount equal to
twenty-five percent (25%) of Operators' Free Cash Flow for such fiscal year or
period; provided, however, that until the Catch-Up Date, and until all Liquidity
Deposit Installments required to have been made prior to such time pursuant to
the Liquidity Deposit Agreement and the Amended Omega Loan Agreement have been
paid, PHCM shall pay any Amendment Fee with respect to the first fiscal year for
which an Amendment Fee would otherwise be due and payable, by executing and
delivering the Deferred Amendment Fee Note to Omega, and with respect to any
subsequent fiscal year for which an Amendment Fee would otherwise be due and
payable, by executing and delivering to Omega an amendment to the Deferred
Amendment Fee Note. In addition, PHCM agrees to pay to Omega, on the first day
of each month after Closing, unless and until the Majority Equity Sale shall
have been consummated, an amount equal to 50% of the "return on equity" portion
of the Medicaid reimbursement for the North Carolina Facilities received by
PHCM, if any, during the second preceding calendar month (the "Monthly Amendment
Fee"). The Amendment Fee obligations shall be secured by the same security that
secures the Amended Omega Note.
9.2 Amendment Fee Definitions.
(i) The term "Operators' Free Cash Flow" shall mean, for any period,
Operators' EBITDARM for such period, plus any Liquidity Deposits and
Additional Liquidity Deposits refunded to PHCM during such period, less,
without duplication, the following expenditures incurred by the Operators
relating to the operation of the Facilities: (a) interest (including,
without limitation, payments in the nature of interest) added to the
Operators' Net Income in computing Operators' EBITDARM; (b) the Base
Management Fee, to the extent that the Base Management Fee has been added
back in the calculation of Operators' EBITDARM pursuant to clause (b)(6) of
the definition of that term hereinbelow; (c) all capital expenditures
(subject to a maximum amount of $600 per bed for the Facilities); (d)
income taxes (or, if greater, income tax actually paid during the period);
(e) all pre-petition real property taxes, critical vendor payments and
other expenses relating to the Facilities actually paid by or for the
account of the Operators after the Petition Date; (f) all expenses incurred
and payments made by the Mariner Entities in closing the sale of the Ciena
Facilities (whether paid prior to, at or after Closing), including, without
limitation, closing costs, and amounts paid to Ciena to cover accrued and
unpaid wages and fringe benefits; and (g) any portion of the Operators'
Free Cash Flow used to fund the Liquidity Deposit Installments and, if
applicable, any Additional Liquidity Deposits, required under the Amended
Omega Loan Documents. Payments of principal and interest on the Maintenance
Obligation Note are not related to the operation of the Facilities and
therefore shall not be deducted in determining Operators' Free Cash Flow.
Post-December 31, 1999 Interest and Past Due Interest (without duplication)
shall be added back to Operators' Net Income in computing Operators'
EBITDARM only for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2001 and September
30, 2002, and therefore shall be deducted in determining Operators' Free
Cash Flow only for those fiscal years. Interest on Past Due Interest shall
be deducted in determining Operators' Free Cash Flow for the applicable
periods during which it is deducted in computing Net Income.
(ii) The term "Operators' EBITDARM" shall mean, for any period, the
sum of (a) Net Income of the Operators for the applicable period plus (b)
the amounts deducted in computing the Operators' Net Income for the period
for (1) depreciation, (2) amortization, (3) interest expense (including,
without limitation, interest on the Amended Omega Note, the Maintenance
Obligation Note and Past Due Interest, payments in the nature of interest
under capitalized leases and interest on any purchase money financing), (4)
any rent or other amount paid to LC-PHCM and deducted from Net Income for
any fiscal period ending prior to consummation of the LC-PHCM Stock
Transfer, (5) income taxes (or, if greater, income tax actually paid during
the period) and (6) the Base Management Fee, to the extent deducted in the
calculation of Net Income, all of the foregoing (a) through (b)(6) to be
determined on a consolidated basis for the Operators (and notwithstanding
the Majority Equity Sale). For purposes of computing Operator's EBITDARM,
Post-December 31, 1999 Interest and Past Due Interest (without duplication)
shall be added back for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2001 and
September 30, 2002 (whichever is the year in which such amounts are
actually paid). Interest on Past Due Interest shall be added back for the
applicable periods during which it is deducted in computing Net Income.
(iii) The term "Net Income" means, for any period, the net income (or
loss) of the Operators arising solely from the operation of the Facilities
for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with
GAAP, provided, however, that Net Income shall not include:
(A) any after-tax gains or losses attributable to returned
surplus assets of any pension-benefit plan;
(B) any extraordinary gains or losses or nonrecurring gains or
losses;
(C) any gains or losses realized upon the sale or other
disposition of property which is not sold or otherwise disposed of in
the ordinary course of business;
(D) any gains or losses realized upon the sale or other
disposition of any capital stock of any Person;
(E) any gains or losses from the disposal of a discontinued
business;
(F) amounts included in computing such net income (or loss) in
respect of the write-up or write-down of any asset or the write-down
of any debt at less than face value after the date on which such asset
or debt was first properly included on such Operator's balance sheet;
or
(G) any non-cash income or loss resulting from "fresh-start
accounting" upon the confirmation and effective date of a Plan of
Reorganization.
For purposes of computing Net Income, Post-December 31, 1999 Interest
and Past Due Interest (without duplication) shall be a deduction for
the fiscal years ending September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2002.
Interest on Past Due Interest shall be deducted in the fiscal year
during which it accrues. Net Income shall not include any capital
contributions made to PHCM by the shareholders thereof, or to New PHCM
by the members thereof.
(iv) The term "Operators" as used in this Section 9.2 shall be deemed
to include the operators of the Ciena Facilities and the term "Facilities"
shall be deemed to include the Ciena Facilities.
9.3 The Deferred Amendment Fee Note. If a Deferred Amendment Fee Note
is executed and delivered as provided in Section 9.1, the following shall be
applicable: (i) the Deferred Amendment Fee Note shall be in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto; (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Deferred
Amendment Fee Note, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will bear
interest at the Interest Rate; (iii) repayment of the Deferred Amendment Fee
Note shall be guaranteed by each of the Operators and secured by all collateral
securing the Amended Omega Note, (iv) the Deferred Amendment Fee Note shall be
due and payable in full on the date the Amended Omega Note becomes due and
payable in full, whether on maturity, acceleration or otherwise, (v)the Deferred
Amendment Fee Note shall be prepaid from Minimum Monthly Payments to the extent
provided in Section 13.6 hereof, and (vi) the Deferred Amendment Fee Note may be
prepaid, in whole or in part, at PHCM's option, without premium or penalty.
ARTICLE 10
SPECIAL POST-DEFAULT REMEDIES; SPECIAL PROVISIONS IN
APPROVAL ORDER
10.1 Intent of Special Remedies. The parties intend to provide Omega
with rights and remedies similar to those that Omega would have enjoyed as
lessor with respect to the Facilities if the Facilities were owned by Omega and
subject to a master lease, rather than owned by PHCM and LC-PHCM and subject to
a mortgage in favor of Omega.
10.2 Escrow Deeds. At Closing, PHCM and LC-PHCM, as applicable, will
deliver the Escrow Documents in escrow to the Escrow Agent. As provided in the
Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Documents will either be delivered to Omega only
following the occurrence of a Delivery Event, or upon repayment of the Omega
Loan in full will be returned to PHCM or LC-PHCM, as the case may be. In the
event of a conflict between the provisions of the Escrow Agreement and this
Agreement, the Escrow Agreement shall control.
10.3 Delivery Event. As used herein, the term "Delivery Event" shall
mean either of the following: (a) the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after
PHCM receives notice that an Event of Default under the Amended Omega Loan
Documents has occurred and is continuing, and that Omega intends to demand
delivery of the Escrow Documents as to one or more of the Facilities from the
Escrow Agent (a "Delivery Event Notice"); or (b) the failure of PHCM to perform
when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period) any
obligation under the Amended Omega Loan Documents first arising on or after the
filing of a future petition under the Bankruptcy Code for a bankruptcy case in
which PHCM is debtor, the performance of which would have been required under 11
U.S.C. ss.365(d)(3) if the Amended Omega Note were a lease and ss.365(d)(3)
applied, within ten (10) Business Days after the entry of an order of the
bankruptcy court in such future bankruptcy case determining that the obligation
in question arose post-petition and would have been required to be performed
under 11 U.S.C.ss.365(d)(3) if the Amended Omega Note were a lease and
ss.365(d)(3) applied.
10.4 Delivery Event Notice. The Escrow Agent shall deliver to Omega the
Escrow Documents in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions,
set forth in the Restructuring Escrow Agreement. Effective immediately upon the
occurrence of a Delivery Event in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
PHCM and LC-PHCM will cease to have any right, title or interest (either legal
or equitable) in the Facilities theretofore owned by them, or in the Escrow
Documents, regardless of any subsequent bankruptcy cases in which PHCM or
LC-PHCM, is the debtor.
10.5 Waiver of Equity of Redemption. Conditioned upon and effective
only upon the occurrence of a Delivery Event in accordance with this Agreement,
PHCM and LC-PHCM hereby waive any and all rights of redemption with respect to
the Facilities, effective immediately upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a
Delivery Event Notice duly given, in accordance with the terms hereof and the
Escrow Agreement, and each of them acknowledges new value in exchange for this
waiver.
10.6 Credit Against Omega Loan Balance; Reservation of Remedies. Upon
the occurrence of a Delivery as to one, more than one, or all of the Facilities,
PHCM shall be entitled to a credit against the amount owed by it under the
Amended Omega Loan Documents in an amount equal to the Net Fair Market Value of
the Facility or Facilities covered by the delivered Escrow Documents. A Delivery
shall be in satisfaction of PHCM's obligations under the Amended Omega Loan
Documents only to the extent of the Net Fair Market Value of the Facilities
covered by the delivered Escrow Documents; and following a Delivery, the Omega
Amended Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and Omega shall
have the right to pursue collection of the remaining balance owing to it and the
enforcement of any other rights and remedies which Omega may have thereunder. In
particular, and not in limitation of the foregoing, Omega's security interest in
the accounts and other intangible property relating to the Facilities shall
continue in full force and effect.
10.7 No Merger of Title. The acceptance by Omega or its nominee of the
Escrow Documents as to one, more than one, or all of the Facilities will not
result in the merger of title; and Omega shall have the right to foreclose on
any liens created or continued by the Amended Omega Loan Documents in accordance
with the terms thereof.
10.8 No Waiver of Other Remedies. Neither the delivery of the Escrow
Documents into escrow nor a Delivery shall preclude Omega from exercising any or
all other remedies granted to it under the Amended Omega Loan Documents or by
applicable law.
10.9 No Assumption of Debt. Neither Omega nor its nominee by
acceptance of one or more of the Escrow Documents shall be deemed to have
assumed or agreed to pay any of the debts or obligations of any of the Mariner
Entities.
10.10 Delivery Event During Pendancy of Cases. In the event that a
Delivery Event occurs after Closing but while the Debtors' Cases are still
pending, then to the extent that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. ss.362
is applicable, such stay shall be deemed annulled, lifted and modified as to
Omega and the Escrow Agent with respect to the Facilities and the Escrow
Documents, upon the occurrence of a Delivery Event, for the sole purpose of
either (a) permitting Omega and the Escrow Agent to deliver any Escrow Documents
demanded by Omega in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, or
(b)permitting Omega to exercise its rights to foreclose its mortgages on any or
all of the Facilities, and to foreclose its security interests in related
personal property of the PHCM Debtors located at such Facilities, or any
combination of the remedies described in clauses (a) and (b), but not for any
other purpose. In such circumstances, PHCM will not oppose relief from the
automatic stay to the extent set forth above, and, if so requested in accordance
with the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will deliver the Escrow Documents to
Omega in accordance with Omega's instructions.
10.11 Subsequent Bankruptcy Case. In the event that bankruptcy cases in
which PHCM, LC-PHCM or the Operators are the debtors, are filed subsequent to
the Closing (a "Subsequent Bankruptcy Case") and subsequent to the occurrence of
a Delivery Event, and to the extent that the automatic stay provided by 11
U.S.C. ss. 362 is applicable, such stay shall be deemed annulled, lifted, and
modified in the event a prepetition Delivery Event (i.e., a Delivery Event
occurring prior to the filing of a Subsequent Bankruptcy Case) shall have
occurred, for the purposes of either (a) allowing the Escrow Agent to deliver to
Omega the Escrow Documents demanded by Omega with respect to any or all of the
Facilities, or, at Omega's sole election, (b) to permit Omega to exercise its
foreclosure rights under the Amended Omega Mortgage, the Amended LC-PHCM
Mortgage, the Amended NC Leasehold Mortgage and, in connection with such real
estate foreclosures, to exercise its foreclosure rights under the Amended PHCM
Security Agreement, the Amended Subsidiary Security Agreement and the Amended
LC-PHCM Security Agreement. In such circumstances, PHCM will not oppose relief
from the automatic stay to the extent set forth above, and the Escrow Agent will
deliver to Omega the Escrow Documents to the Facilities as provided in Section
10.4 hereof.
10.12 Venue for Subsequent Bankruptcy Case. PHCM and LC-PHCM each agree
that any Subsequent Bankruptcy Case in which either or both of them are the
debtor will be filed in the District of Delaware, and that such debtors will use
its best efforts (including moving for change of venue or supporting a motion to
change venue in the event that a petition is filed elsewhere) to ensure that
venue of any Subsequent Bankruptcy Case in which it is the debtor will be only
in the District of Delaware.
10.13 Inapplicability of Section 108(b) of Bankruptcy Code to Delivery
Event. PHCM and LC-PHCM each agree to the inclusion in the Approval Order of a
provision that 11 U.S.C. ss.108(b) shall be inapplicable in any Subsequent
Bankruptcy Case in which PHCM or LC-PHCM is the debtor which is filed after the
occurrence of a prepetition Delivery Event only with respect to PHCM's and
LC-PHCM's cure rights, rights of redemption, or similar right (to the extent not
waived) relating to the Facilities.
ARTICLE 11
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY FROM CASUALTY OR TAKING
11.1. Controlling Provisions. The provisions of this Article 11,
subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, shall control over any contrary
provisions of the Omega Mortgage and the other Omega Loan Documents with respect
to any Facility that is partially or wholly damaged, destroyed or taken by
Condemnation (as that term is defined in Section 11.10 hereof) prior to the
Closing.
11.2. Net Proceeds Held in Escrow. All proceeds, net of any costs
incurred by Omega in obtaining such proceeds (collectively, the "Net Proceeds"),
payable by reason of any loss or damage to any Facility, or any portion thereof,
and insured under any policy of insurance required by Paragraph 5 of the Omega
Mortgage, shall be paid to Omega and held by Omega in escrow in an
interest-bearing account (the "Escrow Account"), subject to the terms of this
Agreement. The Net Proceeds, together with any earnings thereon while the Net
Proceeds are held in the Escrow Account, shall be made available for the
restoration or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of
the affected Facility, or any portion thereof, as provided in Sections 11.3 and
11.5 hereof.
11.3. Total Destruction. If any Facility is totally or partially
damaged or destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described in Paragraph
5 of the Omega Mortgage, and the Facility affected thereby is, in the sole
judgment of PHCM, rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use (as that term
is defined in the Omega Mortgage), PHCM shall, within sixty (60) days of the
receipt of the Net Proceeds by Omega, either, after consultation with Omega (but
at PHCM's option) (a) commence the restoration of the Facility to substantially
the same (or better) condition which existed immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, or (b) make a mandatory, partial repayment under the Omega Note (or
Amended Omega Note, as applicable) equal to the amount of the Net Proceeds
applicable to such casualty, together with interest earned thereon while such
Net Proceeds are being held in the Escrow Account pending application as
provided herein (the aggregate amount of such partial repayment being herein
referred to as the "Partial Repayment Amount"). PHCM's failure to commence to
rebuild or restore within such sixty (60) day period shall be deemed to be an
automatic and irrevocable election to make a partial repayment of the Omega Note
equal to the Partial Repayment Amount. In the event PHCM makes a timely election
under clause (a) of this Section 11.3, then PHCM shall with due diligence
restore such Facility to substantially the same condition (or better) as existed
immediately before the damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph, as a condition to making an election under Section
11.3(a), PHCM shall deliver to Omega evidence reasonably satisfactory to Omega,
that (i) PHCM has or will be able to obtain all necessary Permits in order to be
able to perform all required repair and restoration work and operate the damaged
or destroyed Facility for its Primary Intended Use (as that term is defined in
the Omega Mortgage) in substantially the same manner as existed immediately
prior to such damage or destruction and (ii) the Net Proceeds plus any interest
earned thereon, plus any additional amounts contributed by PHCM, LC-PHCM or (if
different) the applicable Operator and deposited in the Escrow Account to defray
costs of reconstruction, will be sufficient to rebuild or restore the Facility
to the condition required hereunder. If PHCM is unable to provide such
reasonably satisfactory evidence, then the election under Section 11.3(b) shall
be mandatory. Notwithstanding Omega's receipt of the Partial Repayment Amount
with respect to the damaged or destroyed Facility, the lien of the Omega
Mortgage and the provisions thereof and of all other Omega Loan Documents as to
the affected Facility and related personal property shall remain in full force
and effect.
11.4. Partial Destruction. If any Facility is partially destroyed from
a risk covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 5 of the Omega Mortgage,
but such Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended
Use, PHCM shall give Omega Notice of such damage or destruction within ten (10)
Business Days of the occurrence thereof. Within sixty (60) days of the receipt
by Omega of the Net Proceeds from such insurance, PHCM shall commence to restore
the Facility to substantially the same (or better) condition as existed
immediately before such damage or destruction. PHCM shall deliver to Omega
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Omega that PHCM has or will be able to
obtain all necessary Permits in order to be able to perform all required repair
and restoration work and operate the damaged Facility for its Primary Intended
Use in substantially the same manner as existed immediately prior to such damage
or destruction. If PHCM is unable to provide such reasonably satisfactory
evidence, then PHCM shall, within the later of (a) one hundred twenty (120) days
of the occurrence of such damage and (b) sixty (60) days after receipt of the
Net Proceeds in respect of such casualty, be obligated to make a mandatory
partial repayment of the Omega Loan equal to the Prepayment Loan Amount (as that
term is defined in the Omega Mortgage) of the applicable Facility.
11.5. Net Proceeds Available for Restoration. Absent an election by
PHCM not to repair or restore any Facility or portion thereof that is damaged or
destroyed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11, or a requirement
herein that PHCM pay Omega the Partial Repayment Amount or the Prepayment Loan
Amount with respect to any such Facility, all Net Proceeds and earnings thereon
held from time to time by Omega in the escrow account shall be made available to
PHCM to pay the costs of repair or restoration in accordance with the provisions
of Paragraph 6(i) of the Omega Mortgage, without regard, however, for the
$250,000 minimum threshold for the applicability of such Paragraph and also
without regard for any provisions authorizing Omega not to make such Net
Proceeds available to PHCM if an Event of Default (as defined in the Omega
Mortgage) exists.
11.6. Net Proceeds Relating to Personal Property. All insurance
proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of the personal
property located at the Facilities shall be paid directly to PHCM, and PHCM
shall hold such insurance proceeds in trust to pay the cost of repairing or
replacing such lost or damaged personal property.
11.7. Restoration of Alterations and Improvements. If PHCM is required
or elects to restore a damaged or destroyed Facility as provided in this Article
11, PHCM shall also restore all alterations and improvements made by PHCM and
all personal property.
11.8 Application to Omega Note Principal, in Certain Circumstances. In
the event that, pursuant to the terms of this Article 11, Net Proceeds (and any
earnings thereon while held in the Escrow Account) or any Prepayment Loan
Amounts are paid over to Omega, such amount (a) shall be applied by Omega
against the principal amount of the Omega Loan, and (b) shall reduce the
interest payments coming due under the Amended Omega Note by an amount equal to
the amount so paid to Omega for application against the Omega Loan, multiplied
by the Interest Rate, effective beginning with the first calendar month after
the date on which such Net Proceeds (and earnings thereon) or Prepayment Loan
Amounts are paid to Omega.
11.9. Effect of Releasing Destroyed Facility from Omega Mortgage. Upon
the release of any damaged or destroyed Facility from the lien of the Omega
Mortgage, such Facility shall cease to be a Facility for purposes of this
Agreement and shall not be subject to any of the Omega Loan Documents.
11.10. Condemnation-Related Terms. The terms "Condemnation," "Date of
Taking," "Award" and "Condemnor," as used herein, shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in Paragraph 8(a) of the Omega Mortgage.
11.11. Condemnation Awards Held in Escrow. The total Award made with
respect to all or any portion of a Facility, or for a loss of business, shall be
payable to Omega to be held in escrow in the Escrow Account, for application as
set forth herein.
11.12. Total Taking. If title to the fee of the whole of any Facility
shall be taken by Condemnation, then PHCM shall make a partial repayment of the
Omega Loan in an amount equal to the amount of the Award received in connection
with such taking, net of costs of collecting the same (the "Net Condemnation
Award"). Upon receipt of such repayment, (i) Omega shall discharge the lien of
the Omega Mortgage and the other Omega Loan Documents as to the Facility so
taken by Condemnation, and (ii) (A) the Omega Loan shall be reduced by the
amount of the Net Condemnation Proceeds, and (B) the interest payments coming
due under the Omega Note shall be reduced by the amount of such Net Condemnation
Award and earnings thereon paid to Omega, multiplied by the Interest Rate. Each
such reduction (if any) in the outstanding principal amount of the Omega Note,
or in interest payments with respect to the Omega Loan, shall take effect
beginning with the first calendar month after the date on which such Net
Condemnation Award (and earnings thereon) are paid to Omega.
11.13 Partial Taking; Facility Unsuitable for Primary Intended Use. If
title to the fee of less than the whole of a Facility shall be so taken by
Condemnation, which nevertheless renders such Facility, in the sole judgment of
PHCM, Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, then PHCM shall make a partial
repayment of the Omega Loan in an amount equal to the amount of the Award
received in connection with such taking, net of costs of collecting the same
(the "Net Condemnation Award"). Upon receipt of such repayment (i) the Omega
Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Condemnation
Award and earnings thereon so paid to Omega, and (ii) interest payments coming
due under the Amended Omega Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
amount so paid to Omega for application against the Omega Loan, multiplied by
the Interest Rate. However, the lien of the Omega Mortgage and of the other
Omega Loan Documents as to the affected Facility shall remain in full force and
effect, notwithstanding such partial repayment of the Omega Loan. Each such
reduction (if any) in the interest accruing on the Omega Note shall take effect
beginning with the first calendar month after the date on which such Net
Condemnation Award (and earnings thereon) are paid to Omega.
11.14. Partial Taking; Facility Not Unsuitable for Primary Intended
Use. If title to the fee of less than the whole of a Facility shall be so taken
or condemned, and such Facility is not Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use,
PHCM, at its own cost and expense, shall with all reasonable dispatch restore
the untaken portion of any improvements on such Facility so that such
improvements shall constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general
character and condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances)
as the improvements existing immediately prior to such Condemnation or Taking.
PHCM shall commence the restoration of such Facility within sixty (60) days of
the receipt of the Award, and shall complete the restoration with due diligence.
Omega shall contribute to the cost of restoration such portion of the Net
Condemnation Award as is made therefor, if any, together with severance and
other damages awarded for taken improvements. Omega shall make the Award
available to PHCM in the same manner as is provided in Section 11.5 hereof for
insurance proceeds. Omega's obligation to contribute an amount up to the Net
Condemnation Award and earnings thereon to defray the cost of such restoration
shall not be subject to the absence of an Event of Default under the Omega Loan
Documents.
11.15. Temporary Taking. The taking of any Facility, or any part
thereof, by military or other public authority will constitutes a temporary
taking by Condemnation only when the use and occupancy by the Condemnor has
continued for six (6) months or less. During such period, all provisions of the
Omega Loan Documents, as the same are modified or amended by this Agreement,
shall apply to the affected Facility. In the event of any temporary Taking as
contemplated in this Section, the entire amount of any Net Condemnation Award,
whether paid by way of damages or otherwise, plus all earnings thereon in the
Escrow Account, shall be paid to PHCM, irrespective of whether or not an Event
of Default exists under the Omega Loan Documents. PHCM covenants that, upon the
termination of any such period of temporary use or occupancy as contemplated in
this paragraph, it will, at its sole cost and expense, restore the Property
subject to such temporary Taking, as nearly as may be reasonably possible, to
the condition existing immediately prior to such temporary Taking. If any
temporary Taking continues for longer than six (6) months, such Taking shall be
considered a total Taking for purposes of this Agreement, whereupon Section
11.12 hereof shall apply.
ARTICLE 12
RELEASES
12.1. Release of Omega. Subject to, and in consideration for, Omega
entering into this Agreement and the occurrence of the Closing, each Mariner
Entity, contemporaneously with the Settlement Documents (other than this
Agreement and the Escrow Documents) becoming effective, releases and forever
discharges Omega and its successors, assigns, agents, shareholders, directors,
officers, employees, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated
corporations, affiliates, and each of them, from any and all claims, debts,
liabilities, demands, obligations, costs, expenses, actions and causes of
action, of every nature and description, whether known or unknown, absolute,
mature, or not yet due, liquidated or non-liquidated, contingent,
non-contingent, direct or indirect or otherwise, which any Mariner Entity now
has or at any time may hold, by reason of any matter, cause or thing occurred,
done, omitted or suffered to be done prior to the Closing (collectively, "Omega
Liabilities"), other than from Omega Liabilities arising out of this Agreement
or any Settlement Document. Each Mariner Entity waives the benefits of any law,
which may provide in substance: "A general release does not extend to claims
which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his
settlement with the debtor." Each Mariner Entity understands that the facts
which it believes to be true at the time of making the release provided for
herein may later turn out to be different than it believes now or at the time of
granting such release, and that information which is not now or then known or
suspected may later be discovered. Each Mariner Entity accepts this possibility,
and each Mariner Entity assumes the risk of the facts turning out to be
different and new information being discovered; and each Mariner Entity further
agrees that the release provided for herein shall in all respects continue to be
effective and not subject to termination or rescission because of any difference
in such facts or any new information.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.1
or otherwise, this release shall only be effective on and as of the Closing and
not otherwise.
None of the Mariner Entities is releasing Omega from any Omega
Liabilities arising out of this Agreement, any other Settlement Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby, except as expressly provided herein, or
arising out of any acts, omissions or circumstances occurring from and after
Closing.
12.2. Release of Mariner Entities. Subject to, and in consideration for
each Mariner Entity entering into this Agreement and the occurrence of the
Closing, Omega, contemporaneously with the Settlement Documents (other than this
Agreement and the Escrow Documents) becoming effective, releases and forever
discharges the Mariner Entities and their respective successors, assigns,
agents, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, parent corporations,
subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, affiliates, and each of them,
from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, costs,
expenses, actions and causes of action, of every nature and description, whether
known or unknown, absolute, contingent, matured or not yet due, liquidated or
unliquidated, direct or indirect, or otherwise, which Omega now has or at any
time may hold, by reason of any matter, cause or thing occurred, done, omitted
or suffered to be done prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, the
GranCare Keep-Well Obligation and all other obligations arising under or in
connection with the Omega Loan Documents, as amended (collectively, the "Mariner
Liabilities"), other than from Mariner Liabilities arising out of this Agreement
or any other Settlement Document. Omega waives the benefits of any law, which
may provide in substance: "A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement
with the debtor." Omega understands that the facts which it believes to be true
at the time of making the release provided for herein may later turn out to be
different than it believes now or at the time of granting such release, and that
information which is not now or then known or suspected may later be discovered.
Omega accepts this possibility and assumes the risk of the facts turning out to
be different and new information being discovered; and Omega further agrees that
the release provided for herein shall in all respects continue to be effective
and not subject to termination or rescission because of any difference in such
facts or any new information.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.2
or otherwise, this release shall only be effective on and as of the Closing and
not otherwise.
Omega is not releasing any Mariner Entity from any Mariner Liabilities
arising out of this Agreement, any other Settlement Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby, except as expressly provided herein or in the Mariner
Entities Release, or arising out of any acts, omissions or circumstances
occurring from and after Closing.
12.3. No Further Commitments by Omega. Each Mariner Entity further
acknowledges that, from and after the Closing, Omega has no existing
commitments, obligations or agreements to advance credits or loans, or to lease
property, or make financial or other accommodations to any Mariner Entity,

Documents. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the
prior written consent of each of the parties hereto.
ARTICLE 13
RESTRUCTURING OF OMEGA INDEBTEDNESS
13.1 Agreements Subject to Contingency. The agreements set forth
in this Article 13 are subject to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement.
13.2 Agreements Regarding Indebtedness to Omega as of December 31,
1999. As of December 31, 1999, the principal balance owing to Omega under the
Omega Note, over and above all claims and setoffs, was $63,736,108.97, and the
interest owing thereon was $759,154.97.
13.3 Accrual of Interest Post-December 31, 1999. For the period from
January 1, 2000 to but not including the Closing Date, interest shall be deemed
to have accrued on the Omega Loan (a) at the compromise amount of $525,000 per
month (prorated for any partial month), irrespective of the higher rate at which
interest otherwise would have accrued under the terms of the Omega Note as in
effect on the date hereof, plus (b) an additional $300,000 (aggregate, not
monthly), representing interest at the rate of 11.25% per annum on the
$8,000,000 principal of the Omega Loan excluded in the parties' calculation of
the $525,000 compromise monthly interest amount, for the four (4)-month period
between the originally anticipated closing date of the Ciena Transaction and the
actual closing date of the Ciena Transaction. The interest which accrued on the
Omega Note as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 13.3 for the
period from January 1, 2000 to, but not but not including, the Closing Date is
herein referred to as "Post-December 31, 1999 Interest". All payments of the
Post-December 31, 1999 Interest received by Omega, whether before or after the
Closing, shall be applied to the oldest Post-December 31, 1999 Interest first.
Upon Closing, Omega shall be deemed to have waived any and all amounts owing to
it by the Mariner Debtors other than amounts expressly owing from time to time
under the Settlement Documents (including in such waiver, without limitation,
claims for late fees or default interest with respect to the period prior to and
including the Closing Date, as well as interest on the principal amount of any
credits given by Omega in connection with the assignment to Omega of an
undivided 50% interest in the Ciena Purchase Money Loan Documents from and after
January 1, 2000 through the dates of the giving of such credits, other than that
referred to in clause (b) of this Section).
13.4 Payments Received and To Be Received By Omega from January 1, 2000
through the Closing Date. This Section 13.4 sets forth the payments which Omega
has received and anticipates receiving, and the application thereof, with
respect to the Omega Loan and the Maintenance Obligation Note from January 1,
2000 through and including the Closing Date:
(i) On January 13, 2000, Omega applied the Liquidity Deposit, which
totaled $2,359,095.00, to the balance owing to Omega. Of the Liquidity
Deposit, $759,154.97 was applied to the interest owing as of December 31,
1999, thereby paying such interest in full. The remaining balance,
$1,559,940.03, was applied to the principal balance owing to Omega on the
Omega Note, thereby reducing such principal balance to $62,176,168.94.
(ii) In connection with its acquisition on February 1, 2001 of an
undivided fifty percent (50%) interest in the Ciena Purchase Money Loan
Documents, Omega gave PHCM a $4,500,000 credit against the amount owing on
the Omega Loan. This credit was applied as follows: (x) $452,340.86 was
applied against Post-December 31, 1999 Interest accruing prior to the
Petition Date, and (y) $4,047,659.14 was applied against principal, thereby
reducing the principal balance to $58,128,509.80.
(iii) Omega agrees to restore $1,559,940.03 of the Liquidity Deposit
previously applied to the principal balance owing on the Omega Note by
paying such restored amount to PHCM on the Closing Date by wire transfer of
immediately available funds. Assuming no other adjustments to the principal
balance between the date hereof and the Closing Date, such restoration will
increase the principal balance owing on the Omega Note to $59,688,449.83,
which the parties anticipate will be the Amended Omega Note Balance, in the
absence of the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards
to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Omega Loan prior to
Closing .
(iv) Omega is currently receiving payments on the Residual Ciena
Interest pledged to Omega. These amounts have not been applied, pending
completion of negotiations regarding this Agreement and entry of the
Approval Order. Omega agrees to refund such payments to PHCM on the Closing
Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
(v) In April, 2001, PHCM paid Omega $300,000. This amount has not been
applied, pending completion of negotiations regarding this Agreement and
entry of the Approval Order. Omega agrees to refund such payment to PHCM on
the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
(vi) At the Closing, PHCM shall pay to Omega, by official bank check
representing immediately available funds, all of its Available Closing
Cash, for application (1) first, against Post-December 31, 1999 Interest
(oldest interest first) to the extent accrued and unpaid as of the Closing
Date, (2) second, against any accrued and unpaid interest on the
Maintenance Obligation Note, including without limitation, interest owing
on the Contingent Principal as defined therein,, and (3) third, against the
outstanding principal of the Maintenance Obligation Note, including,
without limitation, the Contingent Principal. Any Available Closing Cash in
excess of the aggregate amounts necessary to satisfy in full the
obligations described in the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) may be
retained by PHCM and used for any lawful business purpose not expressly
prohibited under the Settlement Documents.
The term "Available Closing Cash" shall mean, without duplication, all
cash held in the PHCM Debtors' Account as of the last day of the most
recently ended calendar month that is at least 30 days prior to the
Closing, plus (1) all amounts paid by Omega to PHCM at Closing for the
purchase of the Residual Ciena Interest, (2) the portion of the prepetition
liquidity deposit ($1,599,940.03) restored to PHCM at Closing pursuant to
clause (iii) of this Section 13.4, and (3) without duplication, all other
amounts paid to Omega by PHCM since the Petition Date and not yet applied
to the Omega obligations, including, without limitation, the amounts
referred to in paragraphs (iv) and (v) of this Section 13.4, minus (A) a
$500,000 retainage for working capital, (B) any portion of such cash
representing insurance proceeds or condemnation awards (such proceeds or
awards to be retained and applied for the purposes required in this
Agreement), and (C) any Medicaid Overpayment Claims.
(vii) Within 60 days after the Closing, PHCM will determine the amount
by which Modified Available Closing Cash (as hereinafter defined) exceeded
Available Closing Cash, if at all (the "Excess Cash"), and will deliver a
certificate to Omega setting forth the calculation of Modified Available
Closing Cash and Excess Cash. Unless (a) all Past Due Interest and accrued
interest thereon, plus (b) the Maintenance Obligation Note and accrued
interest thereon, plus (c) all Deferred Omega Note Interest (as that term
is defined in the Amended Omega Loan Agreement), if any, and accrued
interest thereon shall have been paid in full, PHCM shall contemporaneously
with the delivery of such certificate (but no later than 60 days after
Closing) pay to Omega an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of
the Excess Cash and (ii) the sum of the amounts described in clauses (a),
(b) and (c) of this paragraph, to the extent then outstanding, for
application against the amounts described in such clauses, in that order of
priority.
The term "Modified Available Closing Cash" shall means, Available Closing
Cash plus the additional amount of cash, if any, required by the Cash
Collateral Order to be deposited in the PHCM Debtors' Account as at the end
of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the Closing
occurred. If the Debtors were not required to deposit any additional cash
in the PHCM Debtors' Account as of the end of such month or would have been
entitled to remove cash, Modified Available Cash shall be deemed to equal
Available Closing Cash, and Excess Cash shall be zero.
13.5 Payment of Past Due Interest. All Post-December 31, 1999 Interest
not paid on or before the Closing Date is referred to herein as the "Past Due
Interest". The following shall govern the payment of the Past Due Interest:
(i) From and after the Closing Date, the amount of the Past Due
Interest unpaid from time to time shall bear interest at the Interest Rate.
(ii) Commencing on the first day of the first month following the
Closing Date, and on the first day of each month thereafter until the Past
Due Interest and all interest thereon is paid in full, accrued interest on
Past Due Interest, then Past Due Interest itself (beginning with the oldest
Past Due Interest) shall be due and payable out of the Minimum Monthly
Payments made by PHCM pursuant to Section 13.6 hereof.
(iii) Each of the Operators shall be jointly and severally liable for
repayment of the Past Due Interest. Repayment of the Past Due interest
shall be secured by the Amended Omega Loan Documents.
(iv) In no event shall the interest rate in effect from time to time
under this Section 13.5 exceed the highest rate allowed by law. If Omega
shall reasonably determine that the interest rate under this Section 13.5
has been adjudicated to be usurious or is otherwise limited by statute,
interest in excess of the applicable legal rate paid or collected by Omega
shall be deemed to have been automatically and immediately credited by
Omega to the Past Due Interest under this Section 13.5 and shall not be
charged to interest, it being the intention of Omega and the Operators that
no interest in excess of the legal rate shall be taken or received.
13.6 Minimum Monthly Payments.
(i) Until the Catch-Up Date, PHCM shall pay to Omega on the first day
of each month an amount equal to the Minimum Monthly Payment (as
hereinafter defined). After the Catch-Up Date, PHCM shall not be obligated
to pay the Minimum Monthly Payments, but rather shall pay to Omega the
amounts which become due under the Amended Omega Loan Documents when and as
such amounts become due.
"Minimum Monthly Payment" shall mean the sum of the following:
(i) One-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount obtained by multiplying the
original Amended Omega Note Balance by the Interest Rate ;
(ii) One-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount obtained by multiplying the
Past Due Interest outstanding on the Closing Date (after the application of
Available Closing Cash) by the Interest Rate; and
(iii) One-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount obtained by multiplying the
principal amount of the Maintenance Obligation Note outstanding on the
Closing Date (after the application of Available Closing Cash) by 11.25%.
(ii) The Minimum Monthly Payments will be applied to PHCM's
obligations to Omega in the following order of priority: (1) accrued and
unpaid interest on Past Due Interest; (2) Past Due Interest (oldest
interest first); (3) accrued and unpaid interest on Deferred Omega Note
Interest; (4) Deferred Omega Note Interest; (5) other accrued and unpaid
interest on the Amended Omega Note; (6) accrued and unpaid interest on the
Maintenance Obligation Note; (7) accrued and unpaid interest on Deferred
Amendment Fee Note; (8) outstanding principal of the Maintenance Obligation
Note; (9) outstanding principal of Deferred Amendment Fee Note; and (10)
outstanding principal of Amended Omega Note. Until the Catch-Up Date, Omega
agrees to provide PHCM, within 30 days after the end of each calendar
month, a statement setting forth the amounts applied to each of the
foregoing categories of obligations and the amount of each such category of
obligation remaining outstanding.
(iii) Promptly after the Catch-Up Date, Omega shall provide PHCM with
written notice that the Catch-Up Date has occurred and specifying the
amount of the monthly payment due under the Amended Omega Note beginning on
the first day of the next calendar month. In the event Omega shall fail to
provide such notice and PHCM continues to pay the Minimum Monthly Payments,
the excess of such Minimum Monthly Payment shall not be applied to the
outstanding principal of the Amended Omega Note, but rather shall be
credited against the interest payment(s) next coming due and payable
thereunder.
(iv) As more particularly specified in the Amended Omega Loan
Documents, following the Closing Date (1) all interest on the Amended Omega
Note shall accrue until the Past Due Interest and any interest which
accrues thereon has been paid in full, (2) any installment of the Amendment
Fee which becomes due prior to the Catch-Up Date shall be paid by the
issuance of a Deferred Amendment Fee Note or an amendment thereto; and (3)
no principal shall be paid on the Maintenance Obligation Note until the
Past Due Interest and any interest thereon and all Deferred Omega Note
Interest and any interest accrued thereon have been paid in full.
(v) The Minimum Monthly Payments relate only to amounts which will
after the Closing become due to Omega under (1) this Article 13, (2) the
Amended Omega Note, (3) Article 9 hereof, and (4) the Maintenance
Obligation Note. The payment of the Minimum Monthly Payments shall not
relieve the Mariner Entities from the obligation to make other payments
(such as, without limitation, insurance or condemnation proceeds), if any,
which from time to time may become due to Omega under other provisions of
this Agreement or the Amended Omega Loan Documents. Further, nothing in
this Article 13 shall be construed as prohibiting Omega, following an Event
of Default, from accelerating any amounts due it in accordance with the
terms of the Amended Omega Loan Documents.
13.7 The Cash Collateral Order. Section 7 of the Final Order (i)
Authorizing Use of Cash Collateral of Real Estate Lenders and (ii) Granting
Adequate Protection Therefor (the "Cash Collateral Order") entered by the Court
on March 20, 2000 requires that to the extent that PHCM Debtors' Cash Flow (as
defined in the Cash Collateral Order) is positive, the cumulative amount thereof
shall be segregated in a separate account (the "PHCM Debtors' Account") for the
PHCM Debtors (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) on a monthly basis. The
parties hereto agree that the proper amount to be deposited into the PHCM
Debtors' Account as of March 31, 2001 was $3,242,319. The Mariner Entities
represent that the foregoing amount has in fact been deposited into a segregated
account and that they continue to comply with the requirements of Section 7 of
the Cash Collateral Order. The Mariner Entities shall continue to comply with
Section 7 of the Cash Collateral Order modified, if approved by the Court, in
the following two respects:
(i) The PHCM Debtors' may use their funds, or the funds in the PHCM
Debtors' Account, to pay any amounts which are deducted in determining
Operators' Free Cash Flow as defined in Section 9.2 hereof; and
(ii) The funds in the PHCM Debtors' Account may be used to pay any
amounts which the Mariner Entities are authorized or required to pay Omega
hereunder.
ARTICLE 14
SHARING OF EXCESS CIENA NOTE PAYMENTS
14.1 Sharing of Excess Ciena Note Payments. From and after the Closing,
Omega agrees that if (a) the interest paid to Omega under the Ciena Note for any
Ciena Loan Year exceeds $960,000 (any such excess amount being an "Excess Ciena
Interest Payment"), or (b) Omega receives principal payments in excess of
$8,000,000 on the Ciena Note (any such payment being an "Excess Ciena Principal
Payment"), 50% of the amount of each Excess Ciena Interest Payment and 50% of
the amount of each Excess Ciena Principal Payment shall be deemed to have been
received by Omega on behalf of PHCM, and shall be applied, at PHCM's option, to
either (i) fund the liquidity deposit payments due in the seventh (7th),
thirteenth (13th) and nineteenth (19th) months after the Closing pursuant to the
Liquidity Deposit Agreement or (ii) pay any Past Due Interest or interest
thereon, any interest owing on the Amended Omega Note, any interest and then
principal owing on the Maintenance Obligation Note, or any interest and then
principal owing on the Deferred Amendment Fee Note, if issued. If all amounts
described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall
have been paid in full, and provided that no "event of default" then exists
under the Amended Omega Loan Documents, Omega shall promptly pay to PHCM, if, as
and when received by Omega, PHCM's 50% share of Excess Ciena Interest Payments
and Excess Ciena Principal Payments, and PHCM may retain such amounts for its
own use.
14.2 Application of Proceeds of Ciena Accounts. PHCM shall utilize the
net collections from accounts receivable at the Ciena Facilities, after payment
of expenses, to either (a) make prepayments of Past Due Interest and accrued
interest thereon, (b) make prepayments on the Maintenance Obligation Note
(applied first to accrued, unpaid interest, then to principal), (c) pay interest
on the Amended Omega Note, (d) fund all or a portion of the Liquidity Deposit
Installments, (e) make prepayments on the Deferred Amendment Fee Note, if any
(applied first to accrued, unpaid interest, then to principal), or (f) reduce
the outstanding principal balance of the Omega Loan, or for a combination of
these purposes, at its option.

16.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted,
construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the
laws of the State of Georgia applicable to contracts between residents of the
State of Georgia which are to be performed entirely within the State of Georgia,
regardless of (i) where this Agreement is executed or delivered; or (ii) where
any payment or other performance required by this Agreement is made or required
to be made; or (iii) where any breach of any provision of this Agreement occurs,
or any cause of action otherwise accrues; or (iv) where any action or other
proceeding is instituted or pending; or (v) the nationality, citizenship,
domicile, principal place of business or jurisdiction of organization or
domestication of any party; or (vi) whether the laws of the forum jurisdiction
otherwise would apply the laws of the jurisdiction other than the State of
Georgia; or (vii) any combination of the foregoing.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any action to
enforce, arising out of, or relating in any way to, any of the provisions of
this Agreement shall be brought and prosecuted in the Court. If and only if such
action cannot be brought and prosecuted in the Court, then such action may be
brought and prosecuted in such court or courts located in the State of Michigan
as is provided by law; and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of said court
or courts located in the State of Michigan and to service of process by
registered mail, return receipt requested, or by any other manner provided by
applicable law.
16.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon each
party thereto and its successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of any
party hereto under this Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto
without the prior written consent of each of the parties hereto. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon consummation of the Merger, New
PHCM shall succeed to the rights and obligations of PHCM hereunder. In addition,
MPAN has informed Omega that it is considering a corporate restructuring which
would, among other things, potentially involve transferring the capital stock of
GranCare to another wholly owned subsidiary of MPAN (whether now existing or to
be formed) and converting GranCare into a limited liability company, by merger.
Omega hereby consents to such transactions; in the event GranCare becomes a
limited liability company, GranCare shall cause such limited liability company
to assume in writing GranCare's obligations under the Settlement Documents to
which GranCare is a party and to execute and deliver to Omega such additional
UCC financing statements, replacement stock certificates (evidencing its equity
interest in PHCM or New PHCM, as applicable) and other documents or instruments
and agreements as Omega reasonably requests for the purpose of maintaining the
perfection of the pledge of such equity interests in PHCM or New PHCM.
16.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and
schedules hereto and such other documents as are referred to herein, constitute
the entire agreement of the parties in respect of the subject matter described
herein. This Agreement may not be changed or modified except by an agreement in
writing signed by the parties hereto.
16.7. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the
Agreement shall thereupon be reformed and construed and enforced to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law.
16.8. Attorneys' Fees. If any legal action is brought for the
enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default
or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover
reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and other costs actually incurred in
that action in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.
