Terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower may

         WHEREAS, Citicorp North America, Inc. (the "Incremental Term Lender")
has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Credit Agreement, to make an Incremental Term Loan and provide a related
Incremental Term Loan Commitment to Borrower in an amount of up to $150,000,000,
the proceeds of which will be used for general corporate purposes including to
repay Revolving Loans (without any reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments)
which were incurred to finance the acquisition of Danville Regional Medical
Center ("Danville"); and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower and
the Administrative Agent may enter into an Incremental Facility Amendment
without the consent of any other Lenders to effect such amendments to the Credit
Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of Section 2.21 of the Credit
Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE:

         SECTION 1. Incremental Amendment.

         (a) This amendment (this "Incremental Facility Amendment") is an
Incremental Facility Amendment referred to in Section 2.21 of the Credit
Agreement, and Borrower and the Incremental Term Lender hereby agree and notify
you that:




         (i) the total Incremental Term Loan Commitment of the Incremental Term
Lender is $150,000,000; and

         (ii) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to Borrowing under
Section 4.02 of the Credit Agreement and to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in clauses (A) through (C) below, the funding of the Incremental Term
Loan will occur in one drawing upon Borrower's request in accordance with
Sections 2.02 and 4.02 of the Credit Agreement (provided that the Borrowing Date
shall be the date hereof). In the event that all or any portion of the
Incremental Term Loan is not borrowed on or before the date hereof, the
unborrowed portion of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall automatically
terminate on such date unless the Incremental Term Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, agree to an extension.

                  (A) no Default shall exist or would exist after giving effect
         to the making of the Incremental Term Loan and the use of proceeds
         therefrom;

                  (B) after giving effect to the making of the Incremental Term
         Loan and the use of proceeds therefrom, Borrower would be in compliance
         with the Financial Covenants on a pro forma basis on such date and for
         the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been
         delivered in accordance with Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement after
         giving effect on a pro forma basis to any related adjustment events,
         including any acquisitions or dispositions after the beginning of the
         relevant calculation period but prior to or simultaneous with the
         borrowing of such Incremental Term Loan; and

                  (C) Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent
         and Incremental Term Lender the officer's certificate, dated the date
         of borrowing, required by Section 2.21(b) of the Credit Agreement and
         also certifying as of the date of borrowing to clauses (A) and (B)
         above.

         (b) Each of the Incremental Term Lender and Borrower hereby agrees that
the Incremental Term Loan made pursuant to this Incremental Facility Amendment
will be a Term B Loan and any lender with an outstanding Incremental Term Loan
will be a Term B Lender, in each case for any and all purposes under the Credit
Agreement and (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and right of
security in respect of the Collateral with the existing Term B Loans and (B)
shall have the same terms as Term B Loans existing immediately prior to the
effectiveness of this Incremental Facility Amendment.

         (c) The table set forth in Section 2.05(d) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by adding (i) to each payment date from and including the first
date in such table occurring after the date of borrowing of the Incremental Term
Loan to and including March 31, 2011, 0.25% of the amount of Incremental Term
Loan actually borrowed and (ii) to each payment date from and including June 30,
2011 to and including December 31, 2011, 23.8125% of the amount of Incremental
Term Loan actually borrowed.

         (d) Borrower covenants and agrees that the proceeds of the Incremental
Term Loan shall be used by Borrower for general corporate purposes including to
repay Revolving


                                      -2-



Loans (without any reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments) which were
incurred to finance the acquisition of Danville.

         SECTION 2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Loan Parties
represent, warrant and covenant to the Administrative Agent and to the
Incremental Term Lender that:

         (a) this Incremental Facility Amendment has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by it and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each Loan Party party hereto, enforceable against such Loan Party
in accordance with its terms;

         (b) after giving effect to this Incremental Facility Amendment, the
representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents will be true and correct with the same effect as if
made on and as of the date hereof (unless expressly stated to relate to an
earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true
and correct as of such earlier date); and

         (c) each of the conditions to requesting Incremental Term Loans set
forth in clause (a) of Section 2.21 of the Credit Agreement is satisfied on the
date of entering into this Incremental Facility Amendment and will be satisfied
on the date of borrowing of the Incremental Term Loan, as applicable.

         SECTION 3. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Incremental Amendment
shall become effective when:

                  (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts
         of this Incremental Facility Amendment that, when taken together, bear
         the signatures of each Loan Party party hereto and the Incremental Term
         Lender;

                  (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2
         hereof are true and correct (as set forth on an officer's certificate
         delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Incremental Term Lender);
         and

                  (c) all fees and expenses required to be paid or reimbursed by
         Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, including all invoiced fees
         and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent and Incremental
         Term Lender shall have been paid or reimbursed, on or prior to
         effectiveness as applicable.

         SECTION 4. Roles. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. shall act in the
capacity as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner and CIBC World Markets Corp.
and SunTrust Bank shall act in the capacities as Co-Syndication Agents with
respect to this Incremental Facility Amendment, but in such capacities shall not
have any obligations, duties or responsibilities, nor shall incur any
liabilities, under this Incremental Facility Amendment or any other Loan
Document.

         SECTION 5. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS INCREMENTAL FACILITY AMENDMENT SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED


                                      -3-

otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights

agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, all of which are ratified and
affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. For the

executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Incremental Facility Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be as effective

Amendment.
