THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 23rd day of September, 2011 by AmSurg Holdings, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (the “Member”), who hereby forms Ardmore NSC, LLC (the “Company”), a Tennessee limited liability company, pursuant to the Tennessee Revised Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”) upon the following terms and conditions:
ARTICLE I
NAME; REGISTERED AGENT AND ADDRESS; AND PLACE OF BUSINESS
The name of the Company is Ardmore NSC, LLC. The Company’s registered agent and the street address of such initial registered agent is as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Organization, as such may be amended from time to time. The principal office of the Company, and such additional offices as the Member may determine to establish, shall be located at such place or places inside or outside the State of Tennessee as the Member may designate from time to time.
ARTICLE II
PURPOSE, POWERS, AND TERM OF COMPANY
2.1Purpose and Powers of the Company. The Company is organized for the purpose of carrying on any lawful activity for which limited liability companies may be formed under the Act. The Company shall possess and may exercise all of the powers and privileges granted by the Act or by any other law or by this Agreement, together with any powers incidental thereto, so far as such powers and privileges are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business purposes or activities of the Company contemplated by this Agreement.
2.2Term of the Company. The term of the Company shall commence on the date the Articles of Organization of the Company are filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Tennessee in accordance with the provisions of the Act and shall continue in perpetual existence unless and until dissolved and terminated pursuant to this Agreement.
2.3Applicable Law. Regardless of the place where this Agreement may be executed by the Member, this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the Member, and any claims and disputes relating thereto, shall be subject to and governed by the Act and the other laws of the State of Tennessee as applied to agreements among Tennessee residents to be entered into and performed entirely within the State of Tennessee, and such laws shall govern the limited liability company aspects of this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
3.1Capital Contribution by Member; Initial Issuance of Units.Upon the formation of the Company, the Member shall make a capital contribution to the capital of the Company in the amount of cash, or of the property in-kind, or both, set forth opposite such Member’s name onSchedule A attached hereto. The Company shall thereupon issue to the Member the limited liability company interest (expressed as a number and class of “Units”) so subscribed and contributed for.
3.2No Interest; No Return of Capital. Capital contributions to the Company shall not earn interest, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Member shall not have the right to withdraw, or to receive a return of, a capital contribution or any portion thereof.
ARTICLE IV
TAX CHARACTERIZATION AND RETURNS
4.1Tax Characterization. The Member acknowledges that at all times that if two or more persons or entities hold equity interests in the Company for federal income tax purposes (i) it is the intention of the Company to be treated as a “partnership” for federal and all relevant state tax purposes and (ii) the Company will be treated as a “partnership” for federal and all relevant state tax purposes and shall make all available elections to be so treated. Until such time, however, it is the intention of the Member that the Company be disregarded for federal and all relevant state tax purposes and that the activities of the Company be deemed to be activities of the Member for such purposes. All provisions of the Company’s Articles of Organization and this Agreement are to be so construed so as to preserve that tax status under those circumstances.
4.2Returns. In the event that the Company is treated as a partnership for tax purposes in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof, then within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year, the Member will cause to be delivered to each person who was a member at any time during such fiscal year a Form K-1 and such other information, if any, with respect to the Company as may be necessary for the preparation of each member’s federal, state, or local income tax (or information) returns, including a statement showing each member’s share of income, gain or loss, and credits for the fiscal year.

The right to indemnification conferred in this Section includes the right of the Indemnitee to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such action in advance of its final disposition to the full extent permitted by the Act (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that the Company will only make an Advancement of Expenses upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of this Section will not adversely affect any right or protection of any individual existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
