parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Mariner Licensee; Interim Occupancy Agreements. Each Facility shall continue

Licensee until such Facility's SNH Licensing Date and, in connection therewith,
each such Mariner Licensee (i) shall retain ultimate authority over the
business, policies, operations and assets of the Facility, (ii) shall remain the

accountable at all times to all patients, governmental agencies and third

specific duties described in Sections 4 and 5 hereof.
In order to permit the foregoing, each Mariner Licensee is,
simultaneously herewith, entering into an Interim Occupancy Agreement
(collectively, the "Occupancy Agreements"), in the form attached hereto as

paragraph of this Section 1, the SNH Proposed Licensees or the Manager may from
time to time, notify Mariner that the Manager is prepared to provide any one or
more of those services (the "Designated Services") designated in Schedule D

and specific duties related thereto described in Sections 4 and 5 hereof, with
respect to any one or more of the Facilities, and from and after the date
specified in such notice, the Mariner Licensee shall delegate to the Manager,
and the Manager shall assume and perform, such Designated

authority and responsibility of the Mariner Licensee referred to herein.
The Mariner Licensees, the Proposed SNH Licensees and the Manager
acknowledge and agree that (i) it would be the desire of all parties that the
Manager assume all of the operations of the Facilities on the date hereof, but
that the interim arrangement contemplated hereby is necessary in order to
accomplish the orderly transition of the operations of the Facilities from the
Mariner Licensees to the Proposed SNH Licensees and the Manager, (ii) the
parties hereto have reviewed and agreed upon goals and parameters of operation
for the term hereof which are in the best interests of the Facilities and the
residents therein, (iii) it is the intent of the parties hereto that day-to-day
operations be conducted in a manner consistent with the agreed upon goals and
parameters, and (iv) if, for any reason, the day-to-day operations cannot be

parameters become inconsistent with the best interests of the Facilities and
residents, the Mariner Licensees shall advise the Proposed SNH Licensees and the
Manager and the parties shall endeavor to agree upon appropriate revisions
thereto.
Mariner, the Proposed SNH Licensees and the Manager acknowledge and
agree that Mariner has agreed in this Agreement that Mariner may continue to

New A/R Accounts, and (z) any Remittances comprised of both Pre-Effective A/R
and Post-Effective A/R (the "Commingled Remittances") shall be deposited into
the Existing A/R Accounts during the first forty-five (45) days following the
Effective Time and into the New A/R Accounts after the 45th day following the

the New A/R Accounts shall be netted against Post-Effective A/R deposited into
the Existing A/R Accounts. If the amount of Pre-Effective A/R deposited into the
New A/R Accounts is greater than the amount of Post-Effective A/R deposited into
the Existing A/R Accounts, then such net amount shall be remitted via wire
transfer by the SNH Licensees to Mariner within five (5) business days of the

transfer by Mariner to the SNH Licensees within five (5) business days of the

accounts, which books and records shall be made available to the SNH Licensees
and the Manager upon request, and after termination of this Agreement shall make
such books and records available to the Proposed SNH Licensees and the Manager
to the extent necessary to enable the Proposed SNH Licensee and the Manager to
comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including regulations governing
preparation and submission of cost reports. Mariner shall timely prepare and
file any cost reports which applicable laws and regulations require that they
file after the termination of this Agreement.
5.6 Patient Trust Accounts. At such time as a Proposed SNH Licensee has
received all Necessary Licenses with respect to a Facility and the Manager has
given the Mariner Licensee notice as provided in Section 3.7, the Mariner
Licensee will transfer the patient trust accounts held for the benefit of
residents of such Facility to the Proposed SNH Licensee (and in connection

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2, in each

be less than the Agreed Deficiency.
As used in this Agreement, "net patient revenues" shall mean, for any

See attached copy.
INTERIM OCCUPANCY AGREEMENT
This Interim Occupancy Agreement (this "Interim Occupancy Agreement")
is made this ___ day of 2000, between [insert name of applicable New Operator],
a Delaware corporation ("Sublessor"), and [insert name of applicable Mariner
Licensee], a Delaware corporation ("Sublessee").
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, SPTMNR Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment
trust ("SPTMNR"), and Sublessor are parties to an Amended and Restated Master
Lease Agreement, dated as of ____________ ___, ______ (the "Lease"), with
respect to the skilled nursing facility known as "[insert name of facility]"
(the "Facility"); and
WHEREAS, SPTMNR, Sublessor, Sublessee and various other parties have
entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to
which Sublessee has agreed to manage the operation of the Facility on the terms
contained therein and in an Interim Management Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof (the "Interim Management Agreement"), between Sublessor and Sublessee;
and
WHEREAS, in order to accomplish the foregoing, Sublessor has agreed to
sublease the Facility to Sublessee on the terms contained herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto, intending to be bound,
hereby agree as follows:
1. Sublease. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, Sublessor subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee subleases from
Sublessor, all of Sublessor's right, title and interest in, to, under or
relating to the real property, improvements, fixtures and related rights
constituting the Facility (the "Demised Premises"), including, without
limitation, any leasehold rights of Sublessor relating to the use or occupancy
thereto, and Sublessor agrees that Sublessee has and will continue to have
throughout the term of this Interim Occupancy Agreement, the right to use and
occupy the Demised Premises as the licensed operator of the Facility.
2. Term. The term of this Interim Occupancy Agreement shall commence on
the date hereof, and shall end on the earlier of (i) the date on which
Sublessee's obligation to provide services in connection with the management of
the operation of the Facility under the Interim Management Agreement shall have
expired or been terminated pursuant to the terms thereof and (ii) the SNH
Licensing Date (as defined in the Interim Management Agreement). Sublessor and
Sublessee acknowledge that under the Interim Management Agreement, Sublessor may
terminate Sublessee's provision of one or more services thereunder, and that if
Sublessor shall elect to do so, this Interim Occupancy Agreement shall remain in
effect notwithstanding such termination until Sublessor shall have elected to
terminate Sublessee's provision of all services under the Interim Management
Agreement with respect to the Facility.
3. Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as the rent under this
Interim Occupancy Agreement (the "Rent"), all net patient revenues derived from
the operation of the Facility during the term of this Interim Occupancy
Agreement to the extent such net patient revenues are actually collected by
Sublessee. Except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence, Sublessee
shall have no obligation to pay any amounts or perform any obligations in
respect of this Interim Occupancy Agreement; it being the purpose and intent of
Sublessor and Sublessee that this Interim Occupancy Agreement is a gross lease
and that except for the payment of the Rent, all costs, fees, taxes,
impositions, utility charges, repairs, alterations, restorations, charges,
expenses, reimbursements and obligations of every kind and manner whatsoever
relating to the Demised Premises which may arise or become due during or after
the term of this Interim Occupancy Agreement, shall be paid and discharged by
Sublessor.
4. Surrender of Possession. At the end of the term of this Interim
Occupancy Agreement, Sublessee shall surrender the Facility to Sublessor and, if
Sublessee shall fail to do so, Sublessee shall be a tenant-at-sufferance subject
to all of the terms of this Interim Occupancy Agreement except that Rent shall
be twice the Rent in effect immediately prior to the expiration or termination
hereof. Sublessee shall be liable for all damages incurred by Sublessor as a
result of such holding over.
5. No Subletting or Assignment. Sublessee shall not sublet or assign
any or all of the Facility without the prior consent of Sublessor; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit Sublessee from
permitting patients or residents to occupy the Facility in the ordinary course
of Sublessee's business.
6. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to be properly given when personally delivered to
the party entitled to receive the notice or on the date of actual receipt, if
sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt
requested, or one business day after being sent by nationally recognized
overnight courier service, properly addressed and postage prepaid to the party
