the
the
of
Baptist Medical Management Service Organization, LLC
This Amendment to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of October
10, 2008 (this “Amendment”), of Baptist Medical Management Service Organization, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the “Company”) is entered into by the person listed on the signature
page hereto as the sole current member of the Company (the “Member” and, once there is more than
one Member, the “Members”).
WHEREAS, the Member executed a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of August 27,
2007 (the “Agreement”) for the Company.
WHEREAS, the Member wishes to amend the Agreement in the manner set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Member hereby amends the Agreement as follows:
1. Amendment to Section 7. Section 7 of the Agreement entitled “Powers; Management”
is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Sections 7A to 7E:
7A. Powers; Management. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this
Agreement, the management and control of the business and affairs of the Company shall to
the maximum extent permitted under applicable law be vested exclusively in the Board of
Representatives of the Company (the “Board”), which shall possess all rights and powers of
managers as provided in the Act and otherwise by Law. Except as otherwise expressly
provided for herein, the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Board of all such
powers and rights conferred on them by the Act or otherwise by law with respect to the
management and control of the Company. No Member and no Representative, in its capacity as
such, shall have any power to act for, sign for, or do any act that would bind the Company.
7B. Board of Representatives. (a) Initial Board. The Board shall
initially consist of the following three individuals:
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxxxx
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxxxx
(b) Chairman. A Chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”) may, from time to
time, be appointed by the Representatives from among themselves or any other
1
member of the Board. The Chairman of the initial Board shall be Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx. The Chairman,
if appointed, shall preside over meetings of the Board and shall otherwise have no greater
authority than any other Representative. In the absence of the Chairman, any one of the other
Representatives shall preside at all meetings of the Board. Such Representative shall have duties
customarily performed by a “lead director” or “presiding director” and shall otherwise have no
greater authority than any other Representative.
(c) Voting. Each Representative, including the Chairman, shall have a
single vote. Except as otherwise required by Law, the affirmative vote of a majority of
the Representatives in attendance at any meeting at which a quorum is present in
accordance with Section 7C(c) shall be required to authorize any action. Any vote,
consent or other action of the Board may be undertaken with the unanimous written
consent (in lieu of meeting) of the Representatives, in each case who have been appointed
and who are then in office.
(d) Proxies. Any Representative may vote at a meeting of the Board
or any committee thereof either in person or by proxy executed in writing by such
Representative. A telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by the
Representative, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a
writing executed by the Representative shall (if stated thereon) be treated as a proxy
executed in writing for purposes of this Section 7B(d). Proxies for use at any meeting of
the Board or any committee thereof or in connection with the taking of any action by
written consent shall be filed with the Board, before or at the time of the meeting or
execution of the written consent, as the case may be. No proxy shall be valid after eleven
months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A proxy
shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is
irrevocable and the proxy is coupled with an interest.
7C. Meetings of the Board.
(a) Meetings. The Board shall meet at such times and at such places
as the Board may designate. Special meetings of the Board shall be held at the request of
any Representative upon at least two business days’ written notice to all of the
Representatives, or upon such shorter notice as may be approved by all of the
Representatives; provided that if the nature of the action to be taken is such that
time is of
the essence with respect to such action, such meeting may be held without such two
business days’ notice if at least one business day’s notice has been given and (A) a good
faith effort has been made to notify and consult with each of the Representatives entitled
to vote on such action and (B) a quorum exists for the taking of such action. Any
Representative may waive the requirement of such notice as to itself, before, at or after
the meeting.
(b) Conduct of Meetings. Any meeting of the Board may be held in
person, telephonically or through other communications equipment by means of which all
participating members of the Board can simultaneously hear each other during the
meeting.
2
(c) Quorum. A majority of the Representatives who have been
appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and who are then in office shall
be necessary to constitute a quorum of the Board for purposes of conducting business.
(d) Payments to Representatives; Reimbursements. All
Representatives will be entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board meetings and such
reasonable and customary fees as may be authorized by the Board.
(e) Board Committees. The Board may organize such committees of
the Board as it deems reasonably necessary to effectively govern the Company.
7D. Member Action. Any action of the Members shall be authorized if the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the membership interests present at a meeting at which a
quorum is present shall be obtained. Any action which may be taken by the Members under this
Agreement shall be authorized if consents in writing setting forth the action so taken are signed
by Members who hold a majority of the membership interests then outstanding. Any Member who does
not participate in taking the action by written consent shall be given written notice thereof by
the Secretary of the Company after such action has been taken. The presence in person or by proxy
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding membership interests shall be necessary to
constitute a quorum for action by the Members. Whenever the giving of any notice to Members is
required by law or this Agreement, a waiver thereof, in writing and delivered to the Company
signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the event as to
which such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Member at a
meeting or execution of a written consent to any action shall constitute a waiver of notice of
such meeting or action.
7E. Officers. (a) Designation and Appointment. The Board may, from time to
time, employ and retain persons as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the
Company’s business (subject to the supervision and control of the Board), including employees,

Officers of the Company, with titles including but not limited to “chief executive officer,”
“president,” “vice chairman,” vice president,” “treasurer,” “secretary,” “general counsel,”

shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to
them. The Board may assign titles to particular Officers. Each Officer shall hold office until his
successor shall be duly designated and shall have qualified as an Officer or until his death or

or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by

time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified

resignation effective, unless otherwise specified in such resignation. Any Officer may be
removed as such, either with or without cause, at any time by the Board. Designation of
any Person as an Officer by the Board shall not in and of itself vest in such Person any
contractual or employment rights with respect to the Company.

their duties as such, shall owe to the Company and the Members duties of loyalty and due
