signature pages hereof and Citibank, N.A. (as successor to Citicorp USA,
Inc.), as administrative agent (the "Agent") for the Lenders.
1. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent have entered into a Revolving
Credit Agreement, dated as of December 5, 1994, as amended by a First
Amendment Agreement dated as of August 1, 1995, a Second Amendment Agreement
dated as of June 28, 1996 and a Third Amendment Agreement and Waiver dated as

on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which

satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof,

after the definition of "HMO SUBSIDIARY" therein:
"'HSI' means Health System International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation."
(b) Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
the semicolon at the end of Section 6.01 (n) and replacing it with the word";
or" and adding the following subsection (o) after such subsection (n):
"(o) HSI or any of its Subsidiaries (other than those Subsidiaries
subject to Section 6.01 (d) hereof) shall fail to pay any Debt in a principal
payment amount (whether singly or in the aggregate) equal to or in excess of
$15,000,000 of HSI or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, when the same
becomes due and payable (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment,
acceleration, demand or otherwise (and inclusive of principal, interest, fees
and penalties)), and such failure shall continue after the applicable grace
period, if any, specified in the agreements or instruments relating to such
Debt; or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist under any
agreements or instruments relating to such Debt and shall continue after the
applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreements or instruments,
if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate, or to permit the
acceleration of, the maturity of such Debt; or any such Debt shall be
declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than by a
regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior to the stated maturity
thereof."
SECTION 2. WAIVERS TO CREDIT AGREEMENT. Subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, any Default or Event
of Default arising from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
is hereby waived from the date hereof to and including June 30, 1997.

the Borrower approving this Amendment and the transactions contemplated
hereby, together with an incumbency certificate with respect to the officers
of the Borrower executing this Amendment and (iii) evidence that the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 26, 1996 among HSI, the
lenders thereto and Bank of America, N.T. & S.A., as agent, has been amended,
pursuant to an amendment in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and
to the Borrower, to permit the Merger and to permit the indebtedness of the
Borrower under the Credit Agreement to continue after the effectiveness of
the Merger.

effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the date hereof, each reference

of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a
reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
(b) Except as specifically amended above, the Credit Agreement is and
shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and
confirmed in all respects.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment
shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or

demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent incurred in connection

deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but
one and the same agreement.
