SECTION I
MASTER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BETWEEN GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS AND
LIFEPOINT HOSPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Contract No.
1. AGREEMENT
These Master Terms and Conditions apply to Support provided by General Electric
Company, acting by and through its GE Medical Systems division ("GE") to you, as
described in any Support Summary referencing these Master Terms and Conditions
signed by GE and you during the time period beginning on the date you sign these
Master Terms and Conditions and ending on the date 3 years later. Each such
Support Summary, together with the associated Additional Terms and Conditions,
Glossary, Schedule of Support Coverage Details ("Schedule"), and these Master
Terms and Conditions, constitutes an "Agreement," and each such Agreement is
valid for the term specified in the Support Summary.
2. SUPPORT
For GE manufactured equipment only, if any, during any Equipment product
warranty period, GE will provide for the Equipment Support as specified in the
product warranty provided with the Equipment, as well as other types of Support
identified on the Schedule. After the Equipment product warranty period and at
all times for all other Equipment, GE will provide Support as specified in the
Schedule.
Subject to the availability of personnel, GE will provide, at your request and
additional expense and subject to these Master Terms and Conditions, service or
other items not specified in the Schedule. The charge for such service or other
items will be the standard Hourly Billed Service Rates for GE and Non-GE
Diagnostic Imaging Services and Biomedical Services then in effect for LifePoint
Hospitals as set forth in Section II (COMPRECARE ADDITIONAL TERMS and
CONDITIONS) of this Agreement, including round trip travel time. Travel time for
general radiology and portable systems for service calls during normal coverage
hours will be billed at the rate as set forth in Section II of this agreement.
Travel time for other modalities and/or during OT/Weekend and Holidays will be
the same as the HBS rate. You will be charged a minimum of 2 hours per call.
Other travel expenses and overnight living expenses will be charged at actual
cost in accordance with GE's standards for business expense remuneration of
employees.
3. CHARGES, PAYMENTS AND TAXES
The Total Normal Fixed Charges will be paid on an installment basis. GE will
invoice you for each installment according to the Payment Periods specified in
the Support Summary, as well as for any other payments due under any Agreement.
All applicable taxes will be added to each invoice, unless you provide to GE a
tax exemption certificate acceptable to the taxing authorities. You will not be
obligated to pay any federal, state, or local tax imposed upon or measured by
GE's net income. Each payment is due within 30 days of the date of the invoice.
Late payments will be subject to a late fee equal to 1% per month (or the amount
allowed by law, whichever is less) on the outstanding amount. Any credits that
may be due to you under an Agreement will be applied first to any outstanding
balance. Per LifePoint Hospital Holdings request, all invoicing for contractual
and hourly billed service will be processed through the corporate offices.
4. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
During the Term of each Agreement, you agree to do the following:
4.1. Provide a suitable location for the Equipment and maintain the Site and

you will promptly take the steps necessary to permit the electronic transfer to
GE in the manner specified by GE of all Total Normal Fixed Charges specified on
such Support Summary, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of which the
Support Summary is a part.
9. END OF SERVICE LIFE (EOSL) ANNOUNCEMENT
In the event GE or the applicable OEM makes a general commercial announcement
that it will no longer offer Support agreements for an item of Equipment or
Covered Component or provide a particular Support agreement feature or option as
a result of factors beyond its reasonable control, then upon no less than 12
months' prior written notice to you, GE may, at its option, remove any such

Agreements, with an appropriate adjustment of charges, without
GE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
REVISED 10/2004
4
otherwise affecting such Agreements. In some cases, such Equipment may be
eligible for PM Only coverage as described in Part II of this Agreement. For
systems identified as EOSL and not eligible for contractual coverage, LifePoint
Hospitals retains the option of seeking service arrangements with other service
providers.
10. EXCUSABLE DELAYS AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES
Neither party is liable for delays or failures in performance of any obligations
under an Agreement, other than payment obligations, due to a cause beyond its
reasonable control.
11. DEFAULT
If you materially breach an Agreement and such breach is not cured within 20
days after written notice of it, you shall be in default under such Agreement,
and GE may at its option, in addition to using the dispute resolution procedure
in Section 19, (a) suspend performance under any or all Agreements until a
reasonable time after all defaults have been cured; (b) declare all sums due and
to become due under all Agreements to be immediately due and payable; and/or (c)
recover possession of any GE materials in your possession or control. Should GE
suspend performance under any Agreement in accordance with subsection (a) of
this Section, it is expressly understood that GE shall not be responsible for
the completion of planned maintenance scheduled or due to be performed under
such Agreement during the period of suspension, and any Equipment downtime
during such suspension will not be included in the calculation of our uptime
commitment under an Agreement. In addition, GE shall not be obligated, after you
cure the default(s) giving rise to such suspension, to perform planned
maintenance that was not performed during the period of suspension, unless
otherwise expressly agreed by the parties in writing.
12. LIMITED WARRANTIES
GE will perform Support in a workmanlike manner. Parts for which you pay a
separate charge come with GE's then-prevailing standard Direct Customer Order
Service Warranties for New and Exchange Parts. All other parts and items are
provided AS IS. THE WARRANTIES IN THIS SECTION ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES. GE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
13. LIMITATIONS OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES
For any claim that Support was not performed in a workmanlike manner in
accordance with the limited warranty in Section 12, your sole and exclusive
remedy is for GE to reperform that Support. For all other claims, GE's liability
for actual, proven damages in connection with each Agreement, whether arising
under contract, tort, or any other theory of law, will not in the aggregate
exceed an amount equal to 3 times the last payment of Normal Fixed Charges that
was due before the incident on which any claim is based. You will be barred from
any remedy for any claim unless you give GE prompt written notice of the
problem. In no event will GE be liable for any consequential, special, indirect,
incidental, or punitive loss, damage, or expense, even if GE was advised of the
possible occurrence; for any assistance not required under an Agreement; or for
anything occurring after the end of an Agreement (except with regard to the
obligations in Section 21).
NEITHER PARTY HAS ANY TORT LIABILITY TO THE OTHER ARISING FROM ANY AGREEMENT,
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EITHER PARTY COMMITS GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT. This limitation does not affect claims by third parties for personal
injury due to either party's negligence or product liability.
14. SUPPORT MATERIAL AND DATA ACCESS
14.1 In connection with the installation, configuration, maintenance, repair,
and/or deinstallation of the Equipment, GE might deliver to the Site, along with
the Equipment or separately, and store at the Site, attach to or install on the
Equipment, and use, materials that have not been purchased by or licensed to
you. You hereby consent to (a) this delivery, storage, attachment, installation,
and use, (b) the presence of GE's locked cabinet or box on the Site for storage
of this property, and (c) GE's removal of all or any part of this property at
any reasonable time, all without charge to GE. The presence of this property
within the Site will not give you any right or title to this property or any
license or other right to access, use, or decompile this property. Any access to
or use of this property (except in compliance with GE's written direction to you
to determine Equipment performance on GE's behalf) and any decompilation of this
property by anyone other than GE's personnel is prohibited. You agree that you
will use reasonable efforts to protect this property against damage or loss and
to prevent any access to or use or decompilation of this property contrary to
this prohibition.
14.2 You agree to permit GE to connect to the Equipment, or to otherwise access
data related to the Equipment or the Support provided, to allow GE to gather,
aggregate, compile, and use Equipment and resource usage data in various ways,
including quality initiatives, benchmarking, and reporting services. The data
collected by GE will be used, during and after the term of any Agreement, in a
manner that will maintain patient and customer level confidentiality.
15. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR; SOLICITATION OF OUR EMPLOYEES
GE provides Support under each Agreement as an independent contractor. GE
employees are under GE's exclusive direction and control, contractors' employees
are under their exclusive direction and control, and your employees are under
your exclusive direction and control.
GE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
REVISED 10/2004
5
The provision of Support under any Agreement will not result in any partnership,
joint venture, trust, or employment relationship between GE or its contractors
and you.
For the duration of any Support Summary, and for 90 days after expiration of any
Support Summary, you agree that you and your controlled affiliates will not
directly or indirectly solicit any employees of ours or our subsidiaries who are
engaged in providing services to you or your affiliates under this Agreement. In
the event of a breach of this provision, you agree to pay us a sum equal to
twelve (12) months pay for each solicited employee at the rate we or our
subsidiary paid the person during his or her last full month of employment with
us.
16. RECORD RETENTION
If Section 1861(v) (1) (I) of the Social Security Act applies to an Agreement,
subsections (i) and (ii) of that section are made a part of such Agreement. In
such an event, GE agrees to retain and make available and to insert the
requisite clause in each applicable subcontract requiring GE's subcontractor to
retain and make available the contract(s), book(s), document(s) and record(s) to
the person(s), upon the request(s), and for the period(s) of time as required by
these subsections.
17. REGULATORY COST REPORTING
You will fully and accurately account for, and report in any applicable cost
reports, all Support and items received from GE under each Agreement in a way
that complies with all applicable laws, including the federal Social Security
Act and implementing regulations relating to Medicare, Medicaid, and other
federal and state health care programs.
18. SURVIVAL, WAIVER, SEVERABILITY, AND CHOICE OF LAW
The terms of any Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive its
expiration, including without limitation Sections 3, 13, and 19 of the Master
Terms and Conditions, will continue in full force and effect after the
expiration of such Agreement. Any failure to enforce any provision of an
Agreement is not a waiver of that provision or of either party's right to later
enforce each and every provision. If any provision of an Agreement is found to
be invalid, it will be enforced to the extent permitted by law, and the
remainder of such Agreement will not be affected. Each Agreement will be
governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the state where the
Support is provided, without giving effect to that state's choice of law rules
19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to any Agreement must be
submitted and settled as set forth in this Section 19. If any party to an
Agreement alleges that any other party to such Agreement has breached any of the
terms of such Agreement, then the party alleging breach will inform the other
party of such breach in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the allegedly
nonperforming party will have 20 days to cure the alleged breach. If the parties
do not agree that effective cure has been accomplished by the end of the 20-day
period, then upon written request of any party, a senior manager from each party
will meet in person and confer in good faith to resolve the dispute within 15
days of the expiration of the prior 20-day period. If, after the above
procedure, the dispute remains unresolved, the dispute will be submitted to the
office of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") located closest to
Nashville, Tennessee, for binding arbitration in accordance with the AAA's
Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, as amended by the Agreement. The
law applicable to the arbitration, including the administration and enforcement
thereof, is the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as amended from
time to time. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of
the arbitrator(s), will be shared equally by the parties, with each party paying
its own attorneys' fees. The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to apportion
liability between the parties, but will not have the authority to award any
damages not available under the Agreement. The arbitration award will be
presented to the parties in writing, and upon the request of either party, will
include findings of fact and conclusions of law. The award may be confirmed and
enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any post-award proceedings will
be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
In addition, if, for any reason, you believe that GE is not meeting your Support
needs under an Agreement, you may notify GE in writing, and GE's area service
manager and a representative of yours will meet in person to develop an
appropriate action plan to resolve your concerns. If the parties are unable to
develop a mutually acceptable action plan or otherwise resolve the issue(s)
within 20 days, the issue(s) will be submitted to a senior manager from each
party for resolution. If the issue(s) remains unresolved, or if the parties are
unable to develop a mutually acceptable action plan, 20 days after submittal to
senior management, either party may submit the issue for arbitration in
accordance with the preceding paragraph. The notice and cure periods in the
preceding paragraph will not apply should the issue be submitted for arbitration
under this paragraph.
20. SUBCONTRACTS AND ASSIGNMENTS
GE may subcontract to contractor(s) of its choice any of its Support obligations
to you. No such subcontract will release GE from those obligations to you. Any
assignment of an Agreement will be void without the other party's prior written
consent.
21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
GE and its contractors will treat patient information as confidential and comply
with any applicable laws concerning the confidentiality of patient information.
GEMS and Customer acknowledge that certain portions of the Administrative
Simplification section of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996, as codified at 42 U.S.C. Section 1320d through d-8 ("HIPAA"), and
certain regulations promulgated or to be promulgated pursuant thereto
(collectively, "HIPAA Regulations") may apply to GEMS, Customer, and their
relationships and operations under this Agreement. GEMS and Customer acknowledge
and agree that they have entered into, or will enter into, such Business
Associate Agreements and/or other similar agreements (collectively, "HIPAA
Agreements") that are required to satisfy the respective obligations of both
parties under the applicable provisions of HIPAA and the HIPAA Regulations.
Notwithstanding any other
GE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
REVISED 10/2004
6
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent the terms of such
HIPAA Agreements relate to GEMS' performance under this Agreement, the terms of
such HIPAA Agreements shall control over the terms of this Agreement to the
extent required to allow both parties to comply with the applicable provisions
of HIPAA and the HIPAA Regulations. In addition, each party (the "receiving
party") will treat the other party's written, proprietary business information
as confidential for a period of 3 years from the date of receipt by the
receiving party as long as it is marked as confidential and/or proprietary prior
to its disclosure and is not otherwise available to the receiving party from a
lawful source.
22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The Agreement(s) between the parties are the complete and exclusive statement of
the terms of the contracts between the parties. No prior proposals, statements,
course of dealing, or usage of the trade will be a part of any Agreement. If any
terms of the Master Terms and Conditions conflict with any Support Summary,
Additional Terms and Conditions, Glossary, or Schedule, then unless otherwise
explicitly provided, these Master Terms and Conditions take precedence, followed
in order by the Additional Terms and Conditions, Glossary, Schedule, and Support
Summary. The Agreements may be entered into and modified only by a writing
signed by authorized representatives of each party. Each party has caused the
Master Terms and Conditions to be executed by a duly authorized representative
on the date below that party's signature. In the event LifePoint Hospital
Holdings, INC. divests an owned facility, GE will extend to the new owning
entity a 60 day grace period where this agreement may remain in place. A signed
copy of any Agreement delivered by facsimile machine is binding and enforceable
on both parties.

SECTION II
COMPRECARE AGREEMENT ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
BETWEEN GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS AND
LIFEPOINT HOSPITAL HOLDINGS, INC
Contract No.
ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR ALL OFFERINGS
In some cases, a GE subsidiary may be solely responsible to provide Service
Support for some Equipment (usually Biomedical Equipment) identified in a
Support Summary. In these cases, (a) the name of the GE subsidiary will be
prominently shown on the Support Summary, or applicable exhibits to the Support
Summary, and (b) you and we agree that the identified GE subsidiary is solely
responsible to provide Service Support for that Equipment under such Support
Summary just as if you had entered into that Support Summary directly with the
GE subsidiary.
NEW ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
For the purposes of this Agreement only, the following new additional terms and
conditions are added:
SERVICE DELIVERY COMPONENTS
The GE service program ("Choice Program") in this Agreement offers LifePoint
Hospitals the flexibility to achieve fixed-cost savings in exchange for the
assumption of certain service risks. This Choice Program allows LifePoint to
select coverage levels ranging from Full Service to Preventative Maintenance
("PM") Only for diagnostic imaging ("DI") services and provides coverage level
flexibility for biomedical equipment services as described further below. This
program caps LifePoint's DI services cost for each contract year at a price
determined as set forth below. This total, or "captivated," cost is based on the
inventory of diagnostic imaging equipment installed at LifePoint facilities
participating under this Agreement and is used to limit LifePoint's financial
exposure to unbudgeted charges for non-contract services. The details of this
capitation feature are detailed under Service Cost Capitation Computation,
Service Cost Capitation Exclusions, and Service Cost Capitation Review. In all
service offerings, GE will fully implement new procedures consistent with
impending JCAHO process changes by 2006.
SERVICE COVERAGE ELECTIONS
Service coverage levels under the Choice Program shall be made for entire
modalities across all LifePoint facilities. Service coverage elections cannot be
made for individual facilities or systems. These coverage elections will be in
effect for the term of this Agreement. Coverage level selections for DI systems
available under the Choice Program are as follows (Systems identified as EOPL
Schedule A are only eligible for PM Only coverage):
- Full Service including Glass and Probes coverage
- Full Service Only on base systems (no glass ware or probes)
- Preventative Maintenance (PM) Only
- GlassPro Tube Coverage (in conjunction with the Full Service Only
election)
For the initial six months of this Agreement (Oct 1, 2004 to Mar 31, 2005), all
diagnostic imaging systems under the Comprehensive Program Agreement dated
_October 1, 1999 between the parties ("Pre-Existing Contract") will remain at
the Full Service with Glass and Probes coverage level. Beginning Apr 1, 2005,
the Choice Program coverage elections set forth in Schedule A will go into
effect and will apply for the term of the Agreement. The initial base cost for
the Choice Program coverage levels in Schedule A for the affected equipment is
$6,747,514/yr and excludes all expenses and costs for equipment that has been
declared to be at end of product life.
SERVICE COST CAPITATION COMPUTATION
GE will cap LifePoint's annual service expenditure for DI services at a
not-to-exceed threshold based on the current installed base. The total capitated
annual DI service expenditure shall be the sum of the individual system
capitated costs and will be adjusted for additions and deletions to the
inventory by the corresponding system capitated cost. For "high-end" modality
systems (MR, CT, Vasc & PET) where a flexible offering has been elected (i.e.
GlassPro or PM Only), the capitated cost will be 104% of the Full Service with
Glass and Probe fee applicable to such equipment. For all other DI modalities,
the capitated amount will be 102% of the Full Service with Glass and Probe
coverage fee. For DI systems under Full Service with Glass and Probes coverage,
the capitated fee shall be equal to the annual service fee, without any
adjustment.
Add examples of system capitation costs here
SERVICE COST CAPITATION EXCLUSIONS
LifePoint's service expenditures for systems that have been declared as end of
product or end of service life (either status, "EOL"), either by GE or the
system manufacturer, are not eligible for and not included in the annual service
capitated price. Probe purchases for Non-GE Ultrasound systems that are not
purchased through GE are excluded from the annual capitated service price.
Additionally, requests for
GE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
REVISED 10/2004
8
remedial maintenance for non-EOL systems outside of the normal coverage hours
(i.e. overtime) are not included in the annual capitated price.
SERVICE COST CAPITATION REVIEW
GE and LifePoint will review each quarter the annual service expenditure
capitated pricing. As part of the review, GE will review inventory changes to
determine the accuracy of the capitated price and will also summarize the
non-contract charges that have been applied toward the annual capitated amount.
BIOMEDICAL SERVICES
The biomedical services program will allow for specific coverage level
flexibility as outlined below.
Coverage Levels:
- Full Service with Parts (FSWP)
- Full Service No Parts (FSNP)
- Planned Maintenance with Planned Parts (PMWP)
- Planned Maintenance No Parts (PMNP)
- Electrical Safety No Parts (includes inventory tracking) (ESNP)

GE is currently developing new pricing for biomedical equipment service to allow
greater consistency in pricing from facility to facility and device to device.
The new pricing will be based on a make/model approach and includes new
procedures for adding and dropping equipment from Service coverage designed to
enhance inventory and billing accuracy. The transition to make/model pricing
will be based on the December 2004 invoice and will result in a net zero
financial impact from the previous pricing model. The biomedical service pricing
offered LifePoint as part of the biomedical service program in this Agreement
will move to the new make/model pricing when made available (expected transition
completion by March 2005) by GE. The related add/drop procedures are described
in the Clinical Asset Entry/Exit section of this Agreement and are effective
immediately.
GE AND NON-GE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING HOURLY BILLED SERVICES RATES
For the purpose of this Agreement only, the hourly billed service ("HBS"), also
known as time and materials, billing rates listed below will apply for all
diagnostic imaging services performed by GE that are not included in the elected
level of Service Support ("non-contract services") for such Equipment.

Within 90 days of assuming service responsibility for facilities that are not
receiving Service from GE under the Pre-Existing Contract and for all facilities
that are added to this Agreement, we will complete a physical inventory of the
Equipment to ensure the accuracy of the equipment schedule. Equipment that we
are unable to locate during the inventory will be removed from the initial
equipment Schedule. Equipment belonging to the categories of covered Equipment
will be added to the initial equipment Schedule. In each case, an appropriate
adjustment to Normal Fixed Charges will be made. Following completion of the
inventory, we will provide you a copy of the revised equipment Schedule, and
upon signed acceptance by you the revised equipment Schedule will replace the
initial Schedule to become part of the Agreement. Initial billing of periodic
charges will reflect the periodic amount set out in the Support Summary. Upon
completion of the inventory and the appropriate adjustments to Total Normal
Fixed Charges, if any, we will perform a reconciliation of prior invoices. We
reserve the right to perform one additional audit each year to confirm
then-existing inventory.
EQUIPMENT INSPECTION
Equipment to be covered under this Agreement must be in safe, normal operating
condition and substantially in compliance with OEM ("Original Equipment
Manufacturer") specifications ("Operating Condition"). We will inspect each item
of Equipment within 90 days of assuming service responsibility. If our
inspection reveals an item of Equipment that is inoperative or otherwise in need
of repair, we will notify you within the next 90 days, and you will be
responsible for bringing that item of Equipment into Operating Condition. In
addition, for each item of Equipment, if our first significant service call for
such item of Equipment, including PM call, reveals that the item of Equipment is
in need of a repair that we could not reasonably have discovered during the
90-day inspection period, you will be responsible for bringing that item of
Equipment into Operating Condition. If you request, we will make necessary
repairs in accordance with our standard contract-customer rates and policies
then in effect for such service. We will be responsible for all other necessary
repairs, subject to the terms and condition of this Agreement, including the
service coverage level you have selected. Except for equipment receiving service
under a GE Healthcare service contract immediately prior to the date the
equipment is added to this Agreement, if any Equipment is added to this
Agreement for any reason, including failure to identify the Equipment initially
on the Exhibit to Support Summary or because the Equipment was previously in
storage, not in use, or otherwise not available for inspection during the 90-day
inspection period, you are responsible for repairs necessary to bring that item
of Equipment into Operating Condition.
You agree to provide us with evidence of a satisfactory power and grounding
audit for all Equipment, including any report. If you are unable to provide us
with the proper evidence, we will perform a power and grounding audit for you at
