1.5 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Assets shall be Two Hundred Eighty Million Dollars ($280,000,000), plus the amount of the Acquired Net Working Capital (as defined in Section 1.6(a)) of Sellers as of the Effective Time, and minus the amount of capitalized/finance leases set forth on Schedule 1.3, that are assumed by Buyers hereunder (but expressly excluding, for this purpose, the Hospital Lease and any other real property leases that are classified as capitalized/finance leases). The Purchase Price shall be calculated as of the Closing based upon the estimated Acquired Net Working Capital (as determined in accordance with Section 1.6(b)), and shall be due and payable at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers. The Purchase Price shall be further adjusted after the Closing in accordance with Section 1.6(a) to reflect the actual Acquired Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with Section 1.6(b)).

1.6 Acquired Net Working Capital, Estimates and Audits.

(a) Acquired Net Working Capital. As used herein, the term “Acquired Net Working Capital” shall mean the aggregate current assets of Sellers conveyed to Buyers pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof (excluding those Excluded Assets which would otherwise be included in current assets), minus the aggregate current liabilities of Sellers assumed by Buyers pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof (excluding those Excluded Liabilities which would otherwise be included in current liabilities), all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and as further described in and limited by this Section 1.6 and Schedule 1.6. In any case with respect to the computation of Acquired Net Working Capital (i) the following shall be included in current assets (and no Excluded Assets shall be included in current assets): xxxxx cash, prepaid expenses, escrows and deposits paid by Sellers (including the LPPF Tax Assets), and supplies and inventory (valued as determined by an independent appraiser retained by Buyers), and (ii) only the following shall be included in current liabilities: accrued liabilities for vacation and holiday benefits for employees of Sellers who are hired by Xxxxxx as of the Effective Time.

(b) Estimates and Adjustments. Attached hereto as Schedule 1.6 is a schedule of the mutually agreed upon Acquired Net Working Capital as of May 31, 2023, together with the principles, specifications and methodologies used in determining such Acquired Net Working Capital. At least ten (10) business days prior to Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Buyers a reasonable estimate of Acquired Net Working Capital as of the end of the most recently ended calendar month prior to the Closing Date for which financial statements are available and containing reasonable detail and supporting documents showing the derivation of such estimate. Such calculation of the Acquired Net Working Capital shall be estimated following the same

mutually agreed upon principles, specifications and methodologies used to determine the Acquired Net Working Capital as of May 31, 2023, as specified in Schedule 1.6, and shall be used for purposes of calculating the Purchase Price at the Closing. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Buyers their determination of the actual Acquired Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time (following the same principles, specifications and methodologies used to determine the Acquired Net Working Capital as set forth on Schedule 1.6 and the estimated Acquired Net Working Capital at the Closing as provided for in this Section 1.6 above). Each party shall have full access to the financial books and records pertaining to the Facilities to confirm or audit Acquired Net Working Capital computations. Should Buyers disagree with Sellers’ determination of Acquired Net Working Capital, they shall notify Sellers within sixty (60) days after Sellers’ delivery of their determination of Acquired Net Working Capital. If Sellers and Buyers fail to agree within thirty (30) days after Buyers’ delivery of notice of disagreement on the amount of Acquired Net Working Capital, such disagreement shall be resolved in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 1.6(c), which shall be the exclusive remedy for resolving accounting disputes relative to the determination of Acquired Net Working Capital. The Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased based on actual Acquired Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time, and within five (5) business days after determination thereof any increase shall be paid in cash by Buyers to Sellers, and any decrease shall be paid in cash to Buyers by Sellers.

(c) Dispute of Adjustments. In the event that Sellers and Buyers are not able to agree on the actual Acquired Net Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Buyers’ delivery of notice of disagreement, Sellers and Buyers shall each have the right to require that such disputed determination be submitted to PwC or another independent certified public accounting firm as Sellers and Buyers may then mutually agree upon in writing (the “Accounting Firm”) for computation or verification in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall review the matters in dispute and, acting experts and not as arbitrators, shall promptly decide the proper amounts of such disputed entries (which decision shall also include a final calculation of actual Acquired Net Working Capital). The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be binding upon Sellers and Buyers, and such Accounting Firm’s fees and expenses shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyers.

1.7 Transition Patients and Other Supplemental Payment Programs. To compensate Sellers for services rendered and medicine, drugs and supplies provided up to the Effective Time with respect to patients who are admitted as inpatients to the Hospitals prior to the Effective Time but who are not discharged until after the Effective Time (such patients being referred to herein as the “Transition Patients” and services rendered to them being referred to herein as the “Transition Services”), the parties shall take the following actions:

(a) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, there shall be delivered to both parties a statement itemizing the Transition Services provided by each of the parties to Transition Patients whose medical care is paid for, in whole or in part, by Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, Blue Cross or any other third party payor who pays on a DRG, case rate or other similar basis (the “DRG Transition Patients”). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyers a list of Transition Patients which shall contain the number of patient days and list of detailed charges for each such Transition Patient as of the Effective Time. Buyers shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to (i) the total DRG and outlier payments (including capital and any deposits, deductibles or co-payments received by Buyers) per the remittance advice received by

Buyers on behalf of a DRG Transition Patient, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total charges for the Transition Services provided to such DRG Transition Patient by Sellers (less non-covered charges), and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the total charges for all services provided to such DRG Transition Patient by Sellers and Buyers both up to and after the Effective Time (less non-covered charges), minus (ii) any deposits, deductibles or co-payments made or payable by such DRG Transition Patients to Sellers.

(b) As of Effective Time, cut-off xxxxxxxx (“Interim Billings”) for all Transition Patients not covered by Section 1.7(a) shall be prepared and sent following the discharge of the Transition Patients from the Hospitals. Any payments received by either Buyers or Sellers for such Interim Billings are the property of Sellers and shall be paid to Sellers, when and as received by Xxxxxx, within ten (10) business days of the end of the month in which such payments are received. Any payments received by Sellers for services provided to such Transition Patients for Transition Services rendered by Buyers after the Effective Time are the property of Buyers and shall be paid to Buyers, when and as received by Sellers, within ten (10) business days of the end of the month in which such payments are received.

(c) The Medicaid DPP program is funded through provider taxes paid to local provider participation funds (“LPPFs”). The Hospitals participate in LPPFs with Citrus and Hernando Counties. The “LPPF Tax Assets” shall consist of all accumulated tax funds paid by the Hospitals to the LPPFs prior to the Effective Time, which the LPPFs have not submitted to the State of Florida through intergovernmental transfers (“IGTs”), and which the parties do not anticipate the LPPFs will submit retrospectively to the State of Florida through IGTs with respect to any Medicaid program year that ended prior to the Effective Time. Adelanto HealthCare Ventures (AHCV) or a similar entity maintains reconciliation workbooks that document each Hospital’s LPPF Tax Assets, which are calculated as the net of the following: taxes paid by the Hospitals, interest income earned by unused taxes, IGTs remitted by the LPPFs to the State of Florida, administrative expenses, other miscellaneous adjustments, and grant payments. If LPPFs refund LPPF Tax Assets to the Hospitals, the refunds belong to the party or parties that owned the associated LPPF Tax Assets.

As the owners of the LPPF Tax Assets, at and after the Effective Time, Buyers shall be entitled to the benefit of any payments that increase the amounts of the LPPF Tax Assets, including, without limitation: (i) grant payments received from the Florida Essential Healthcare Partnerships Foundation or a similar entity (the “Foundation”), and (ii) refunds received by the LPPFs from the State of Florida. Correspondingly, as the owners of the LPPF Tax Assets, at and after the Effective Time, Buyers shall be responsible for grant payments to the Foundation relating to in-county providers (if any, and none are anticipated). Grant payments made to the Foundation relating to out-of-county providers (if any, and none are anticipated) shall be the responsibility of the party or parties who received the DPP program payments for the respective program year, and shall be included as part of the allocation set forth in Section 1.7(d).

In the event that an outside agency audits the LPPF program and/or its participants, Buyers and Sellers will jointly select representation for audit defense. The costs of the representation will be borne in a proportion commensurate to the proportion of Foundation grant payments received by the parties that operated the Hospitals during the period(s) under audit.

Schedule 1.7(c) provides an illustration of the statements in this Section 1.7(c).

(d) If Buyers receive amounts related to any Medicare, Medicaid or other third party payor program such as DSH payments, LIP payments, DPP payments from Medicaid managed care organizations (“MCOs”) (inclusive of quality payments), medical education payments, Citrus or Hernando County payments, periodic interim payments (“PIP”), bi-weekly payments for Medicare bad debt, settlements for the retrospective audit or recalculation of Medicaid or county rates, payments, or programs, or payments for costs paid on a pass-through basis (such as capital costs), associated with the operation of the Hospitals prior to the Effective Time, Buyers shall tender the amount applicable to the period up to the Effective Time to Sellers within thirty (30) days of receipt. If Sellers receive amounts related to any Medicare, Medicaid or other third party payor program such as DSH payments, LIP payments, DPP payments from Medicaid MCOs (inclusive of quality payments), medical education payments, Citrus or Hernando County payments, PIP payments, bi-weekly payments for Medicare bad debt, settlements for the retrospective audit or recalculation of Medicaid or county rates or payments or programs, or payments for costs paid on a pass-through basis (such as capital costs), associated with the operations of the Hospitals relating to periods after the Effective Time, Sellers shall tender the same to Buyers within thirty (30) days of receipt. It is the intent of the parties that Buyers and Sellers shall receive amounts related to such payments applicable to the period of time the Hospitals were owned by such party during the period attributable to the payment. If the payment does not relate solely to a period prior to or after the Effective Time, each party will receive an amount equal to the payment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days the Hospitals were owned by the party during the period attributable to the payment and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days attributable to the payment. In conjunction with a Medicare cost report, the Medicare Audit Contractor (MAC) may apply bi-weekly payments to a party that are not applicable to its period of ownership. If this occurs, the parties agree to make payments to one another so that each party receives third party payments applicable to the period of time it owned the Hospitals in accordance with the methodology delineated above.

(e) All payments required by this Section 1.7 shall be made within thirty (30) days of a party’s receipt of payment (or the end of the month in which payment was received, as applicable) with respect to a Transition Patient, accompanied by copies of remittances and other supporting documentation as are available and reasonably required by the other party. In the event that Buyers and Sellers are unable to agree on any amount to be paid under this Section 1.7, then such amount shall be determined through the binding process provided in Section 1.6(c) at the joint equal expense of Buyers and Sellers.

1.8 Prorations. Except as otherwise provided herein (for example, with respect to the determination of Acquired Net Working Capital) or as settled at the Closing, within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (hereinafter defined), Sellers and Buyers shall prorate as of the Effective Time any amounts which become due and payable on or after the Closing Date with respect to (i) the Contracts, (ii) ad valorem taxes, if any, on the Assets (which shall be prorated as of the Closing), (iii) personal property taxes on the Assets (which shall be prorated as of the Closing) and (iv) all utilities servicing any of the Assets, including water, sewer, telephone, electricity and gas service. Any such amounts which are not available within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall be similarly prorated as soon as practicable thereafter.

(b) Survey. Within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, Buyers may, at their expense, obtain current as-built surveys of the Owned Real Property and the Hospital Leased Real Property (the “Surveys”) or such portions thereof as Buyers elect.

(c) Title Defects and Cure. The Title Commitment and the Surveys (to the extent obtained by Buyers pursuant to Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b) above) are collectively referred to as “Title Evidence”. Buyers shall give notice to Sellers within ten (10) business days after Xxxxxx’ receipt of the last of the Title Evidence of any liens, claims, encroachments, exceptions or defects disclosed in the Title Evidence which do not constitute Permitted Encumbrances (collectively, “Defects”). Sellers, at their cost and expense, shall cure the Defects at or before the Closing or Sellers may elect to not cure the Defects and shall give written notice to Buyers within ten (10) business days of their receipt of Buyers’ notice of the Defects of Sellers’ decision whereupon Buyers may waive such Defects and close or may terminate this Agreement, which election shall be made within ten (10) business days of Buyers’ receipt of Sellers’ written notice. If Sellers fail to timely give such notice, Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the Defects, whereupon Buyers may waive such Defects and close or may terminate this Agreement, which election by Buyers shall be made within ten (10) business days following the expiration of the period during which Sellers could have given notice that Sellers elected not to cure the Defects pursuant to the foregoing. Upon termination of this Agreement under the terms of this Section 6.3(c), no party to this Agreement shall have any further claims under this Agreement against any other party, except for matters that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

Sellers further acknowledge and agree that the covenants and provisions of this Section 9 form part of the consideration under this Agreement and are among the inducements for Buyers entering into and consummating the transactions contemplated herein. The period provided and the area covered are expressly represented and agreed to be fair, reasonable and necessary.

Sellers and Buyers agree and stipulate that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial, arbitral or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by Sellers or Buyers in the regular course of business) and that any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

10.7 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Following the Closing, the parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other and shall make available to the other, as reasonably requested and at the expense of the requesting party, and to any taxing authority, all information, records or documents relating to tax liabilities or potential tax liabilities of Sellers and the Partial Subsidiaries for all periods on or prior to the Closing and any information which may be relevant to determining

10.8 Cost Reports. After the Closing, Sellers, at their expense, shall prepare and timely file, in a manner that complies with applicable legal requirements, all terminating and other cost reports required or permitted by law to be filed under the Medicare and Medicaid or other third party payor programs and the State Health Agency for periods ending prior to the Effective Time, or as a result of the consummation of the transactions described herein (“Seller Cost Reports”).

Sellers and Buyers covenant and agree to remit, with reasonable promptness any payments received, which payments are on or in respect of accounts or notes receivable owned by (or are otherwise payable to) the other. In addition, and without limitation, in the event of a determination by any Government Entity or third-party payor that payments to Sellers or the Facilities resulted in an overpayment or other determination that funds previously paid by any program or plan to Sellers or the Facilities must be repaid, Sellers shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered prior to the Effective Time and Buyers shall be responsible for repayment of said monies (or defense of such actions) if such overpayment or other repayment determination was for services rendered after the Effective Time. In the event that, following Closing, any Buyer suffers any offsets against reimbursement due to such Buyer under any third-party payor or reimbursement programs, as a result of amounts owing under any such programs by Sellers or any of their Affiliates, Sellers shall promptly upon demand from such Buyer pay to such Buyer the amounts so billed or offset.

10.10 Employee Matters.

(a) As of the Effective Time, Sellers shall terminate all of the employees at the Facilities (the “Seller Employees”), and Buyers shall offer or cause to be offered employment to all active Seller Employees (including any Seller Employees who are on statutory family or medical leave, military leave, short-term disability, or other short-term leave of up to ninety (90) days) who are in good standing as of the Effective Time in positions and at compensation levels generally consistent with those provided by Sellers as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that Buyers shall not be required to offer employment to any Chief Executive Officer (or equivalent), Chief Medical Officer/Chief Nursing Officer (or equivalent), Chief Financial Officer (or equivalent) or similar “C-Suite” executive officer of the Hospitals unless Buyers decide, in their sole discretion, to do so. Between the date of this Agreement and Closing, Sellers shall cooperate with Xxxxxx in their efforts to interview and interact with such C-Suite officers. Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect or limit in any way normal management prerogatives of Buyers with respect to employees or to create or grant to any such employees third party beneficiary rights or claims of any nature. All such employees who accept such offers and commence employment with a Buyer (together, the “Hired Employees”) shall be credited with employment service with Sellers for purposes of eligibility and vesting purposes (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) under Buyer’s employee benefit plans or programs (the “Buyer Plans”), unless such service credit is not allowed pursuant to the express terms of any insurance policy (or policies) used to fund the benefits provided under such Buyer Plans, in which case such service credit will not be allowed just for such insured plan(s). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 10.10(a) shall not apply to any physician employee of any Seller who has entered into an employment agreement with any Seller (“Physician Employees”), and such persons shall not be deemed to be Hired Employees for purposes of this Section 10.10(a).

(b) Buyers shall offer or cause to be offered enrollment in the appropriate Buyer Plan that is a group health plan to any Hired Employee (including Physician Employees) together with the eligible dependents of such Hired Employee.

(c) Within the period of ninety (90) days prior to the Closing, Sellers shall not violate the WARN Act and/or the regulations thereunder. With respect to terminations of employees prior to the Effective Time, Sellers shall be responsible for any legally required notifications. With respect to terminations of employees following the Effective Time, Buyers shall be responsible for any legally required notifications.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and prior to the Effective Time, Sellers shall terminate the active participation of all of the Seller Employees, including for this purpose the Physician Employees, in each Benefit Plan listed in Schedule 3.12 and intended to be a tax-qualified retirement plan described under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Seller Plans”). After the Effective Time, Sellers shall timely allow to be made appropriate distributions to, or for the benefit of, all of the Seller Employees (including Physician Employees) in respect of the Seller Plans which are in force and effect with respect to the Seller Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Seller Plans, as may be requested by the Seller Employees.

(e) Sellers shall be responsible for providing continuation coverage pursuant to the requirements of section 4980B of the Code, and Part 6 of Title I of ERISA (“COBRA”) with respect to qualifying events occurring before the date on which such Seller Employees become Hired Employees, for Seller Employees who do not become Hired Employees, and with respect to qualifying events occurring by virtue of the Closing, and Sellers shall continue to be fully responsible for such COBRA coverage for such Seller Employees following the Effective Time. Buyers shall be responsible for providing COBRA coverage with respect to each of the Hired Employees (and their dependents) whose qualifying event occurs on or after the date on which each of the applicable Seller Employees becomes one of the Hired Employees. The obligations pertaining to COBRA coverage for Physician Employees shall be apportioned between Sellers and Buyers consistent with the methodology set forth above.

10.11 Indigent Care Policies. Buyers shall adopt and maintain reasonable policies for the treatment of indigent patients of the Hospitals. Buyers shall cause the Hospitals to treat any patient presented to the emergency room who has a medical emergency or who, in the judgment of a staff physician, has an immediate emergency need. No such patient will be turned away because of age, race, gender or inability to pay. Buyers shall cause the Hospitals to continue to provide services to patients covered by the Medicare and Medicaid programs and those unable to pay for emergent and medically necessary care. This covenant shall be subject in all respects to changes in governmental policy.

10.12 Use of Controlled Substance Permits. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each applicable Buyer shall have the right, for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, to operate under the licenses and registrations of the corresponding Seller relating to controlled substances and the operations of pharmacies and laboratories, until such Buyer is able to obtain such licenses and registrations for itself. In furtherance thereof, Sellers shall execute and deliver to the corresponding Buyer at or prior to the Closing limited powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Buyers shall apply for all such licenses and permits as soon as reasonably possible before and after the Closing and shall diligently pursue such applications.

10.13 Medical Staff Matters. As a result of the acquisition of the Assets by Buyers, without the consent of the medical staff of the Hospitals, there will be no change or modification to the current staff privileges for physicians on the medical staff of the Hospitals; provided, however, that the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not limit the ability of the Board of Trustees or medical executive committee of the Hospitals to grant, withhold or suspend medical staff appointments or clinical privileges in accordance with the terms and provisions of the medical staff bylaws. Each applicable Buyer shall adopt the current medical staff bylaws of the Hospitals as the medical staff bylaws of the Hospitals following the Closing, except for non-substantive changes that may be required to reflect Buyer’s legal name and description, and except to the extent that: (i) modifications thereof are required to comply with accreditation standards or legal or regulatory requirements, (ii) modifications thereto may be proposed by the medical staff, or its executive committee, and agreed to by Buyers (pursuant to the process set forth in the medical staff bylaws), (iii) modifications thereto are proposed by Xxxxxx and agreed to by the medical staff (pursuant to the process set forth in the medical staff bylaws), and (iv) modifications thereto may otherwise be permitted by law.

10.19 Telephone Access. The parties shall take all steps necessary to transition over to Buyers or an Affiliate all local and long distance telephone services at the Facilities as of the Closing Date.

10.20 Continuation of Insurance. For a period of at least six (6) years following the Closing, Sellers shall maintain in effect insurance on all claims-made professional and general liability insurance policies of the Facilities (including cyber/data breach coverages) for claims related to the period of Sellers’ ownership and operation of the Facilities. The insurance shall have coverage levels equal to the coverage maintained by Sellers (or by CHS or its Affiliates with respect to the Facilities) for other comparable healthcare facilities (and, in any event, not less than the coverages described in Schedule 3.19).

10.21 Use of Excluded Marks. To the extent the Facilities (or their associated marketing, signage, or other promotion thereof) use any marks, logos, slogans, or other trademarks or service

marks that are Excluded Assets and that were being used by the Facilities immediately prior to the Effective Time, Buyers shall take reasonable steps after the Closing Date to promptly phase out and cease all such use of such marks, provided that certain marks may continue to be used for a limited Transition Period as expressly permitted herein. All use of any Excluded Marks, including the Transition Marks (as defined herein), shall inure to the benefit of Sellers or their Affiliates, and Buyers shall acquire no right, title, or interest to any of the marks. Solely during the Transition Period, Sellers and their Affiliates grant to Buyers and their Affiliates an exclusive (even as to Sellers, except as otherwise provided herein), irrevocable (except for material breach of this provision), royalty-free, and fully paid-up right and license to use the family of BRAVERA HEALTH, BRAVERA HEALTH BROOKSVILLE, BRAVERA HEALTH SEVEN RIVERS, BRAVERA HEALTH SPRING HILL, BRAVERA MEDICAL GROUP, and their associated logos (the “Transition Marks”), an in association therewith, Sellers shall further allow Buyers and their Affiliates to use the associated brand guidelines and image files provided that any use of the Transition Marks and associated image files and brand guidelines shall be solely in connection with the operation of the Facilities, in a similar manner as used by Sellers or their Affiliates immediately prior to the Effective Time, and consistent with Sellers’ and their Affiliates’ quality standards, for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (“Transition Period”). Buyers shall not materially alter the Transition Marks nor otherwise combine the Transition Marks with any other marks. Sellers and their Affiliates shall have the sole right but not the obligation, at their sole cost, to bring any action for infringement or registration of the Transition Marks and domain names during the Transition Period. Buyers and TGH shall not use the marks in connection with any other facilities or businesses except for the Facilities. During the Transition Period, Sellers and their Affiliates shall not use the Transition Marks, except (a) in connection with ongoing activities arising out of Sellers’ or their Affiliates’ operations of the Facilities prior to the Closing Date (including without limitation any ongoing billing or collection activities, reporting, litigation, or otherwise), or (b) to support Buyers and their Affiliates in connection with any transition activities related to the Facilities. Sellers and their Affiliates shall not assign nor transfer ownership of the Transition Marks during the Transition Period unless expressly subject to this license to Buyers and their Affiliates. Upon expiration of the Transition Period, Buyers and their Affiliates shall cease all further use of the Transition Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the license granted above does not include any right to use, and the Buyers shall not use in any capacity, the following Excluded Marks: CHS, Community Health Systems, CHSPSC or HMA.

10.22 Guaranties. To the extent that any Seller or any Affiliate of Sellers has guaranteed the obligations of any Seller under any of the Contracts (a “Seller Guaranty”), then at the request of Sellers, Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have Sellers and/or such Affiliate released as guarantor. If required to obtain a release from a Seller Guaranty, Buyers or TGH shall execute a guaranty substantially in the form of the existing Seller Guaranty, or such other form as may be agreed to by Buyers and the beneficiary of such guaranty. If Buyers are unable to obtain a release for any Seller Guaranty as set forth in this Section 10.22, Buyers (i) shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates against any liabilities arising from or relating thereto as if the obligations accruing from and after the Effective Time under such Seller Guaranty were Assumed Liabilities, and (ii) agree not to amend, modify, supplement, extend or renew (or allow the applicable Buyer to amend, modify, supplement, extend or renew) the underlying Contract in

any manner that would reasonably be expected to materially increase the obligations of Sellers or their Affiliates under the Seller Guaranty, without the prior written consent of Sellers.

10.23 Antitrust Cooperation. Buyers and Sellers will cooperate with each other, using commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) promptly and fully inform the other party of any written or oral communication received from or given to the FTC, DOJ, or any other Government Entity or any Person relating to any inquiry, investigation, or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any filing submitted to any Government Entity, and promptly provide the other a copy of any written communication or filing received from or provided to any Government Entity or other Person regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject to applicable laws regarding privilege), provided that no privileged information or information that is deemed to be competitively sensitive is required to be shared and Buyers and Sellers may reasonably designate any competitively sensitive information provided to the other under this Section as “Antitrust/Outside Counsel Only Material”; (b) allow the other party to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, consult with one another on and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to any written communication or submission to any Government Entity relating to any inquiry, investigation, or proceeding involving the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or information relating to that party that appears in any filing made with or written materials submitted to, any Government Entity in connection with any inquiry, investigation, or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) agree not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Government Entity regarding any filing, inquiry, or investigation relating to such transactions unless, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by law, rule, regulation or order of any Government Entity, it consults with the other party in advance, and to the extent not prohibited by law, rule, regulation or order and permitted by the Government Entity, gives the other party, including its outside counsel, reasonable notice and an opportunity to attend and participate.

10.24 Hospital Lease. Buyers shall negotiate in good faith with Hernando County, using commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate the assignment of the Hospital Lease, including such amendments as may be reasonably negotiated between Xxxxxx and Hernando County; provided, however, that Buyers shall only propose amendments to Hernando County with respect to the matters described on Schedule 10.24 (which shall include certain matters which constitute conditions to closing for Buyers under Section 7.9 and certain other matters which do not constitute conditions to closing). Sellers shall cooperate in good faith with Xxxxxx and use commercially reasonable efforts in negotiating with Hernando County to receive the consent from Hernando County to the assignment of the Hospital Lease to the Spring Hill/Brooksville Hospitals Buyer.

The parties shall cooperate with one another to transition over to Buyers or an Affiliate, promptly following the Closing, all passwords system keys and manuals, administrator privileges, building and other physical property keys, alarm codes and manuals, website and domain name assignments, social media account assignments, security deposits and other funds held under Contracts, with respect to the Facilities and the Assets, and Buyer will be permitted to download copies of the virtual data room materials provided by Sellers to Buyers prior to Closing.

11. INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Indemnification by Xxxxxx. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.3 hereof, Buyers shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents or independent contractors (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs (including, without limitation, court costs and costs of appeal) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of expert consultants and witnesses) (collectively, “Damages”) that any one or more of such Seller Indemnified Parties incur as a result of, arising out of or with respect to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty by Buyers under this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Buyers of, or any failure by Buyers to perform, any covenant or agreement of, or required to be performed by, Buyers or their Affiliates under this Agreement or any agreements ancillary to this Agreement, (iii) any of the Assumed Liabilities, or (iv) any claim made by a third party with respect to the operation of the Facilities by Xxxxxx following the Effective Time.

11.2 Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.3 hereof, Sellers shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyers and their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, or independent contractors (collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Damages that any one or more of such Buyer Indemnified Parties incur as a result of, arising out of or with respect to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of representation or warranty by Sellers under this Agreement, (ii) any breach by Sellers or their Affiliates of, or any failure by Sellers to perform, any covenant or agreement of, or required to be performed by, Sellers under this Agreement or any agreements ancillary to this Agreement, (iii) any of the Excluded Liabilities, or (iv) any claim made by a third party with respect to the operation of the Facilities by Sellers prior to the Effective Time.

11.3 Limitations. Buyers and Sellers shall be liable under Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.2(i) (i.e., for misrepresentations and breaches of representations and warranties), as applicable, only when total indemnification claims exceed One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000) (the “Basket Amount”), after which Buyers or Sellers, as applicable, shall be liable only for the amount in excess of the Basket Amount. No party shall be liable for any indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.2(i), as applicable, for any claims for misrepresentations and breaches of representations and warranties which are the basis upon which any other party shall have failed to consummate the transactions described herein pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 8.1, as applicable, or which are based upon misrepresentations and breaches of representations and warranties which have been waived pursuant to the initial paragraph of Section 7 or Section 8, as applicable. The liability of Buyers and Sellers for indemnification under Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.2(i), respectively, shall be limited to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3, the limitation on liability and the Basket Amount shall not apply to claims arising under Section 11.1(i) or Section 11.2(i) and resulting from willful misrepresentation or fraud by the indemnifying party or its Affiliates.

11.4 Notice and Control of Litigation. If any claim or liability is asserted in writing by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 (the “Indemnified Party”) which would give rise to a claim under this Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall notify the person giving the indemnity (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the same within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such written assertion of a claim or liability. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such third party claim(s) and control the defense, settlement, and prosecution of any litigation; provided, that the Indemnified Party may in any event retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the third party claim. If the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice of such claim, fails to agree to defend such claim, the Indemnified Party shall (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise, or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and at the risk of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise, or final determination thereof, provided such assumption does not materially and adversely impact the Indemnified Party. Anything in this Section 11.4 notwithstanding, (i) in the event that a proposed settlement requires the Indemnified Party to admit any wrongdoing or take or refrain from taking any action, then the proposed settlement shall not be entered into unless it is reasonably acceptable to both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to the Indemnified Party of a commercially reasonable release from all liability of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in respect of such claim. The foregoing rights and agreements shall be limited to the extent of any requirement of any third-party insurer or indemnitor. All parties agree to cooperate fully as necessary in the defense of such matters. No delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

11.5 Notice of Claim. If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any breach of the representations or warranties of the Indemnifying Party hereunder or any other basis for indemnification under this Section 11 (except as otherwise provided for under Section 12.3), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the same within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such breach or claim, specifying in detail the circumstances and facts which give rise to a claim under this Section 11. Should the Indemnified Party fail to notify the Indemnifying Party within the time frame required above, the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of the required notice shall be limited to the damages that would have nonetheless resulted absent the Indemnified Party’s failure to notify the Indemnifying Party in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnifying Party had it received timely notice from the Indemnified Party.

11.6 Mitigation. The parties shall cooperate with each other to resolve any claim or liability with respect to which any party is obligated to indemnify any other party hereunder, including using commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any liabilities that form the basis of a claim hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under all applicable insurance policies covering any liabilities for claims indemnified hereunder, to the same extent as they would if such liabilities and claims were not subject to indemnification hereunder (provided, such efforts shall not be deemed to require

instituting litigation or other proceedings). The amount of any indemnification hereunder shall be reduced or reimbursed, as the case may be, by any amount received by the Indemnified Party from any other party alleged to be responsible therefor (net of costs and expenses incurred in connection with such recovery). The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available from such other parties alleged to have responsibility (provided, such efforts shall not be deemed to require instituting litigation or other proceedings). If the Indemnified Party receives an amount from such other party subsequent to an indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount received by the Indemnified Party (net of costs and expenses incurred in connection with such recovery). Each party shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in addressing any liabilities that may provide the basis for an indemnifiable claim (that is, each party shall respond to such liability in the same manner that it would respond to such liability in the absence of the indemnification provided for in this Agreement). Any request for indemnification of specific costs shall include invoices and supporting documents containing reasonably detailed information about the costs or damages for which indemnification is being sought.

11.7 Calculation of Damages. Any and all materiality qualifiers (or words of similar import) in any representation or warranty in this Agreement shall be disregarded and shall not have any effect solely with respect to the calculation of the amount of any Damages attributable to a misrepresentation as to, or inaccuracy in, any such representation or warranty. For the avoidance of doubt the immediately preceding sentence applies only for purposes of determining the amount of Damages, and any qualification by the term “material” (or words of similar import) that is expressly contained in any representation or warranty in this Agreement is still valid for determining whether there exists any breach or inaccuracy in such representation and warranty. Unless otherwise required by any legal requirement, any indemnity payment hereunder to or from Sellers shall be treated for all tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

11.8 Exclusive Remedy. The representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be terminated and extinguished upon the earlier of the end of the applicable Survival Period (hereinafter defined) or any termination of this Agreement; provided that with respect to any claim for breach that has been made prior to the end of such Survival Period or termination of this Agreement shall survive until such claim is finally resolved pursuant to this Section 11 as further described in Section 12.17. Thereafter, none of Sellers, Buyers or any shareholder, partner, officer, director, principal or Affiliate of any of the preceding shall be subject to any liability of any nature whatsoever with respect to any such representation or warranty. Moreover, absent fraud or willful misrepresentation, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or inaccuracy, or alleged breach or inaccuracy, of any representation and warranty made by Sellers or Buyers in this Agreement shall be the remedies provided by this Section 11.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Schedules and Exhibits. Each Schedule and Exhibit to this Agreement shall be incorporated herein and considered a part hereof as if set forth herein in full. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Sellers or Buyers may update their Schedules, subject to the other party’s approval rights and other limitations described below. If a party, after having a period of ten (10)

business days to review any modification or amendment to a Schedule proposed by another party, determines in its reasonable discretion that it should not consummate the transactions on the terms contemplated by this Agreement because the modification or amendment to such Schedule discloses facts or circumstances not disclosed in the original Schedules that have a Material Adverse Effect, demonstrates a breach of any Fundamental Representations or would have a material and adverse impact on Buyers’ ability to perform their obligations under this Agreement, in the case of a modification proposed by Sellers, or that would have a material and adverse impact on Sellers’ ability to perform their obligations under this Agreement, in the case of a modification proposed by Buyers, then such party may terminate this Agreement by giving a written notice to the other party on or before the Closing (which notice may include, in the alternative, proposed changes in the terms of this Agreement to compensate for any such matters) (a “Termination Notice”), whereupon the other party shall be entitled, for a period of ten (10) business days after its receipt of the Termination Notice, to cure the matter that has triggered the Termination Notice (or accept such proposed alternative terms to compensate for such matters). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the inclusion of new or different information on a Schedule after the date of this Agreement shall not prejudice or otherwise affect a party’s right to seek relief for the other party’s breach of a representation, warranty or covenant or affect the party’s right to indemnification under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 (based upon the Schedule as of the date of this Agreement without taking into account any modification, update or amendment). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the date of this Agreement, (i) no new Schedules may be added, (ii) Schedule 1.1(a)(i) and (ii) and Schedule 1.2 may not be updated in any respect, including with the addition or deletion of any Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property (except, with respect only to leases other than the Hospital Lease and the leases listed as items 3, 8, 9 and 10 under “Brooksville” on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii), to the extent a lease expires or is terminated by a third party; provided that the leases identified as items 8, 9 and 10 under “Brooksville” on Schedule 1.1(a)(ii) may be assigned to FESC prior to Closing), unless all parties hereto consent in writing to such update, (iii) Schedule 1.1(g) may not be updated in any respect (including through the addition and/or deletion of contracts on such Schedule, except with respect to the removal of Contracts that have expired or been terminated by third parties or the addition of Immaterial Contracts or renewals, extensions or replacements (on substantially similar terms) of Contracts in the ordinary course of business that do not materially increase the costs, liabilities or obligations being assumed by Buyers thereunder) unless all parties hereto consent in writing to such update, and (iv) Schedule 1.3 (except to reflect any reductions in the balances of any capitalized/finance leases as of the Closing), Schedule 1.6, Schedule 7.7 and Schedule 10.24 may not be updated in any respect unless all parties hereto consent in writing to such update.

12.2 Additional Assurances. The provisions of this Agreement shall be self-operative and shall not require further agreement by the parties except as may be herein specifically provided to the contrary; provided, however, at the request of a party, the other party or parties shall execute such additional instruments and take such additional actions as are consistent with this Agreement and are reasonably necessary or convenient to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, with each party bearing its own costs and expenses incurred by such party related thereto. In addition and from time to time after the Closing, Sellers shall execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer, and take such other actions as Buyers reasonably may request, more effectively to convey and transfer full right, title, and interest to, vest in, and place Buyers in legal and actual possession of, any and all of the Hospitals, other Facilities and the Assets

in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto with each party bearing its own costs and expenses associated therewith.

12.3 Consented Assignment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any claim, right, contract, license, lease, commitment, sales order, or purchase order if an attempted assignment thereof without the consent of the other party thereto would constitute a breach thereof or in any material way adversely affect the rights of Sellers thereunder (each a “Non-Assigned Contract”), unless such consent is obtained. After Closing, Sellers and Buyers will cooperate with one another in good faith using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each such third-party consent reasonably necessary for the valid assignment of each Non-Assigned Contract; provided, however, in connection with such consents, Buyers shall not be required to acquiesce to amendments to Non-Assigned Contracts or other terms that require the payment of additional amounts or other material undertakings by Buyers as a condition for such consent. If any such third-party consent is not obtained, Sellers will cooperate with Buyers to deliver to Buyers, as applicable, the economic and other benefits that Buyers would have actually received under the applicable Non-Assigned Contract, including enforcement for the benefit of Buyers of any and all rights of Sellers against any other party with respect to such Non-Assigned Contract.

12.4 Consents, Approvals and Discretion. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, whenever this Agreement requires any consent or approval to be given by a party, or whenever a party must or may exercise discretion, the parties agree that such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such discretion shall be reasonably exercised.

12.5 Legal Fees and Costs. In the event a party elects to incur legal expenses to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement by judicial proceedings, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover such legal expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and necessary disbursements at all court levels, in addition to any other relief to which such party shall be entitled.

12.6 Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of laws principles. To the extent allowed by law, each party hereto hereby submits itself to jurisdiction in the State of Florida for any action or cause of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

12.7 Benefit/Assignment. Subject to provisions herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns. No party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, except for the obligations in Sections 12.27 and 12.28, any party may, without the prior written consent of the other parties, assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to one or more Affiliates (provided such Affiliates have the ability, including the financial wherewithal, to perform the assignor’s responsibilities hereunder) so long as written notice is provided to the other parties.

12.8 No Brokerage. Except as set forth on Schedule 12.8, Buyers and Sellers each represent and warrant to the other that they have not engaged a broker in connection with the transactions described herein. Each party agrees to be solely liable for and obligated to satisfy and discharge all loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of claims for fees or commissions of brokers employed or alleged to have been employed by such party.

12.9 Cost of Transaction. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the parties agree as follows: (i) Sellers shall pay the fees, expenses, and disbursements of Sellers and their agents, representatives, accountants, and legal counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto; (ii) Sellers shall pay for the stub-period audit required by the Agency For Health Care Administration (“AHCA”) with respect to the period ending on the Effective Time; (iii) Buyers shall pay the fees, expenses, and disbursements of Buyers and their agents, representatives, accountants and legal counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto; (iv) Buyers shall pay for, all premiums, fees and costs associated with the Title Commitment, the Title Policy and the Surveys, any filing fees required to obtain approvals or waivers under the HSR Act, any environmental engineering reports, licensure application fees, recording fees, and mechanical, structural, electrical and roofing engineering costs; (v) Buyers shall pay for any stub-period audit required by AHCA with respect to any period ending after the Effective Time; and (vi) Buyers (collectively) and Sellers (collectively) shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of all state, county and local transfer, documentary or similar taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Assets or the recording of the Deeds.

12.10 Confidentiality.

(a) It is understood by the parties hereto that the information, documents, and instruments delivered to Buyers by Sellers and their agents and the information, documents, and instruments delivered to Sellers by Buyers and their agents are of a confidential and proprietary nature as further described in that certain Agreement for Use and Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information dated as of July 25, 2022 and that certain Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement dated March 21, 2023, each by and between CHSPSC, LLC and TGH (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreements”). Each of the parties hereto agrees that prior to the Closing it will maintain the confidentiality of all such confidential information, documents, or instruments delivered to it by each of the other parties hereto or their agents in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or in compliance with the terms, conditions, and covenants of such Confidentiality Agreements and will only disclose such information, documents, and instruments as permitted by such Confidentiality Agreements and to its duly authorized officers, members, directors, representatives, and agents (including consultants, attorneys, and accountants of each party) and applicable Government Entities in connection with any required notification or application for approval or exemption therefrom or as may be required in connection with any debt or bond financing, investment transaction, merger, acquisition or similar business combination or finance transaction (subject to customary confidentiality protections being in place with such third parties). Each of the parties hereto further agrees that if the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, it will return all such documents and instruments and all copies thereof in its possession to the other parties to this Agreement (subject to the terms, exceptions and conditions of such Confidentiality Agreements). Otherwise, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Confidentiality Agreements shall terminate as of the Closing.

(b) Each of the parties hereto recognizes that any breach of this Section 12.10 could result in irreparable harm to the other party to this Agreement and its Affiliates and that therefore either Sellers or Buyers shall be entitled to seek an injunction to prohibit any such breach or anticipated breach, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash, or otherwise, in addition to all of its other legal and equitable remedies. Nothing in this Section 12.10, however, shall prohibit the use of such confidential information, documents, or information as permitted pursuant to such Confidentiality Agreements for such governmental filings as in the opinion of Sellers’ counsel or Buyers’ counsel are required by law or governmental regulations or are otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable federal or state law, rule, regulation or order of any Government Entity.

12.11 Public Announcements. Sellers and Buyers mutually agree that no party hereto shall release, publish, or otherwise make available to the public in any manner whatsoever any information or announcement regarding the transactions herein contemplated without the prior written consent of Sellers and Buyers, except for information and filings reasonably necessary to be directed to Government Entities to fully and lawfully effect the transactions herein contemplated or required in connection with securities and other laws. For the sake of clarification, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit: (a) Sellers or their Affiliates from making any disclosures or filing any agreements that they deem necessary or advisable to be made in any filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with any future securities offerings of Sellers or their Affiliates; or (b) Buyers or any of their Affiliates from making any disclosures or filing any agreements that they deem necessary or advisable to be made with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), whether on MSRB’s Electronic Municipal Market Access as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with any future securities offerings of Buyers or their Affiliates.

12.12 Waivers. The waiver by any party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereof. Any waiver of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party waiving such breach or violation to be effective.

12.13 Notice. Any notice, demand, or communication required, permitted, or desired to be given hereunder shall be deemed effectively given when personally delivered, when received by receipted overnight delivery, or five (5) days after being deposited in the United States mail, with postage prepaid thereon, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

12.16 Divisions and Headings. The divisions of this Agreement into sections and subsections and the use of captions and headings in connection therewith are solely for convenience and shall have no legal effect in construing the provisions of this Agreement.

12.17 Survival. All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made by the parties in this Agreement or pursuant hereto in any certificate, instrument, or document shall

The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to be effective as of a month end, with equitable adjustments made to the Purchase Price necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

12.21 No Inferences. Inasmuch as this Agreement is the result of negotiations between sophisticated parties of equal bargaining power represented by counsel, no inference in favor of, or against, either party shall be drawn from the fact that any portion of this Agreement has been drafted by or on behalf of such party.

12.22 Limited Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of Buyers, Sellers, CHS and TGH, and their Affiliates and their respective permitted successors or assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer, and this Agreement shall not confer, third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person other than Sellers and Buyers, which the parties agree are express third party beneficiaries of the rights of Sellers and Buyers, respectively.

12.23 Entire Agreement/Amendment. With the exception of the Agreement for Use and Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information dated as of July 25, 2022 and the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement dated March 21, 2023, each by and between CHSPSC, LLC and TGH (both of which shall terminate at Closing), this Agreement supersedes all previous contracts, and constitutes the entire agreement of whatsoever kind or nature existing between or among the parties respecting the within subject matter, and no party shall be entitled to benefits other than those specified herein. As between or among the parties, no oral statements or prior written material not specifically incorporated herein shall be of any force and effect. The parties specifically acknowledge that in entering into and executing this Agreement, the parties rely solely upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement and no others. All prior representations or agreements, whether written or verbal, not expressly incorporated herein are superseded, and no changes in or additions to this Agreement shall be recognized unless and until made in writing and signed by all parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each and all of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

12.24 Risk of Loss; Casualty. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the risk of loss or damage to any of the Assets, the Facilities and all other property, transfer of which is contemplated by this Agreement, shall be borne by Sellers until the Effective Time and by Buyers after the Effective Time.

(a) If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of a Hospital or other material tangible Assets is lost, destroyed or damaged, in whole or in part, by fire or the elements, theft, vandalism or by any other cause, where such loss, damage or destruction is in the aggregate (the “Aggregate Damage”) less than $19,000,000, the parties' duties and obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected and the Closing shall proceed as scheduled; provided, however, at Buyers’ election, either (i) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the fair market value of the lost, damaged or destroyed Asset (determined immediately prior to the loss, damage or destruction), or (ii) Sellers shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyers or their designated Affiliate all of Sellers' right, title and interest in and to any and all insurance proceeds (including business interruption insurance) and pay to Buyers the amount of any deductibles under such insurance policies on account of such loss, damage or destruction and, if such insurance policy proceeds are insufficient to repair, restore and/or replace the Hospital or other affected Assets, the difference between the cost to repair, restore and/or replace and the amount of such proceeds shall be deducted from the Purchase Price. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of a Hospital or other tangible Assets is lost, destroyed or

damaged by fire or the elements, theft, vandalism or by any other cause where the Aggregate Damage equals or exceeds $19,000,000, Buyers may elect to (x) purchase the Hospitals and Assets, and the Closing shall proceed as scheduled (provided, however, at the Closing, Sellers shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyers all of Sellers' right, title and interest in and to any insurance proceeds (including business interruption insurance) on account of such damage or destruction loss plus the amount of any deductibles under such insurance policies), or (y) terminate this Agreement as to all, but not less than all, of the Hospitals and Assets by the delivery of a written notice to Sellers (the “Casualty Termination Notice”). If Xxxxxx and Sellers are unable to agree upon the amount of the Aggregate Damage, the amount of the Aggregate Damage shall be determined by an independent consulting firm experienced in the healthcare industry mutually selected by Sellers and Buyers (the “Independent Consultant”) pursuant to Section 12.24(b).

(b) If pursuant to Section 12.24(a), the amount of the Aggregate Damage (and any applicable Purchase Price adjustment) is to be determined by the Independent Consultant, within thirty (30) calendar days after the occurrence of the loss, damage or destruction at issue (the “Submittal Date”), each of Buyers, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall submit to the other and to the Independent Consultant their proposed calculation of Aggregate Damage (and any applicable Purchase Price adjustment) as a result of the event(s) contemplated by Section 12.24(a), along with a reasonably detailed description of the basis for such amount and any applicable adjustment. Within ten (10) business days after the Submittal Date (or such longer date as may be agreed to by the parties) (the “Decision Date”), the Independent Consultant, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall determine the definitive amount of the Aggregate Damage (and any applicable adjustment to the Purchase Price), taking into account any submissions by Sellers or Buyers by the Submittal Date. If the Aggregate Damage equals or exceeds $19,000,000, Buyers shall thereafter have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of a Casualty Termination Notice to Sellers as contemplated by Section 12.24(a). The decision of the Independent Consultant shall be conclusive and binding as between Buyers and Sellers, and the costs of such review shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyers. Upon any such determination of the adjustment to the Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 12.24, the parties shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at a mutually agreeable time and place, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

12.25 Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, state of facts, condition, development or circumstance which, individually or together with any other event, change, state of facts, condition, development or circumstance, has or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect (whether or not covered by insurance) on (i) the business (as currently conducted by Sellers), assets, financial condition, liabilities, or results of operations of the Hospitals, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of Sellers to perform their obligations under this Agreement and the other agreements being executed and delivered in connection herewith at or prior to the Closing or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, however, that with respect to clause (i) of this definition, none of the following occurring after the date of this Agreement shall constitute a Material Adverse Effect or be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred: (a) changes or proposed changes to any law, reimbursement rates or policies of governmental agencies or bodies that are generally applicable to hospitals or health care facilities; (b) changes or proposed changes in requirements, reimbursement rates, policies or

procedures of third party payors or accreditation commissions or organizations that are generally applicable to hospitals or health care facilities; (c) any changes or any proposed changes in GAAP after the date of this Agreement; (d) any hostilities, acts of war, sabotage, terrorism or military actions, or any escalation or worsening of any such hostilities, acts of war, sabotage, terrorism or military actions; (e) changes resulting solely from the public announcement of this Agreement or the pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, changes in private payor agreements or policies and their effects and the departure of employees), or Buyers being the proposed purchaser of the Assets; (f) compliance with the terms of, or the taking of any action required, by this Agreement or consented to by Buyers; (g) any failure in and of itself to meet internal or published projections, estimates or forecasts of revenues, earnings, cash flow, or other measures of financial or operating performance for any period (provided, however, that any event, state of facts, condition, change, effect or development that caused or contributed to such failure to meet any projections, estimates or forecasts or revenue, earnings, cash flows or other measures of performance shall not be excluded under this clause); or (h) any epidemic, pandemic, disease outbreak (including COVID-19) or other health crisis or public health event, or the worsening of the foregoing; provided further, however, that the matters referred to in clauses (a), (b), (d) and (h) above shall be taken into account to the extent they have had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a disproportionate adverse impact on the Assets, Assumed Liabilities or Facilities relative to other similar healthcare provider facilities operating in the healthcare industry.

12.26 Radon Gas. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.

12.27 CHS Guaranty. CHS hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees the prompt performance and observance by Sellers and their Affiliates of each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of Sellers and Affiliates arising out of, connected with, or related to, this Agreement or any ancillary documents hereto and any extension, renewal and/or modification thereof. The obligation of CHS under this Section 12.27 is a continuing guaranty, may not be assigned in whole or in part to any other Person without TGH’s express written consent, and shall remain in effect following Closing, and the obligations of CHS shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any of the following events, whether or not with notice or consent of CHS:

(a) The compromise, settlement, release, change, modification, or amendment (except to the extent of such compromise, settlement, release, change, modification or amendment) of any or all of the obligations, duties, covenants, or agreements or any party under this Agreement or any ancillary documents hereto; or

(b) The extension of the time for performance of payment of money pursuant to this Agreement, or of the time for performance of any other obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of this Agreement or any ancillary documents hereto or the extension or the renewal thereof.

12.28 TGH Guaranty. TGH hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees the prompt performance and observance by Buyers of each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of Buyers arising out of, connected with, or related to, this Agreement or any ancillary documents hereto and any extension, renewal and/or modification thereof. The obligation of TGH under this Section 12.28 is a continuing guaranty may not be assigned in whole or in part to any other Person without CHS’s express written consent, and shall remain in effect following Closing, and the obligations of TGH shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any of the following events, whether or not with notice or consent of TGH:

12.29 Knowledge of Sellers. As used in this Agreement, “knowledge of Sellers” or “Sellers’ knowledge” (and any similar expression) means the actual knowledge of (i) each Hospital’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Nursing Officer and Chief Compliance Officer (or equivalent), and (ii) CHSPSC, LLC’s Vice Presidents of Acquisitions and Development, Senior Director of Project Management Design (Facilities Management Department), and Regional Chief Information Director, in each case after reasonable inquiry by such Person.

RECITALS:

A. The parties hereto have entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 24, 2023 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyers shall purchase from Sellers substantially all of the assets of Sellers which are directly or indirectly related to, necessary for, or used in connection with, the operation of Bravera Health Brooksville in Brooksville, Florida, Bravera Health Spring Hill in Spring Hill, Florida, and Bravera Health Seven Rivers in Crystal River, Florida, and certain related businesses, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms under the Agreement.

B. The parties desire for Joining Buyer to become a party to the Agreement upon the terms of this Amendment.

C. The parties have agreed to certain amendments to the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. JOINING BUYER. By its execution below, Joining Buyer hereby becomes a party to the Agreement for purposes of acquiring a portion of the Assets, and hereby agrees, jointly and severally with Buyers, to perform each covenant and assume each obligation of Buyers under the Agreement. Joining Buyer also shall have the right, in addition to other Buyers, to enforce the covenants of Sellers

and other provisions of the Agreement, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

2. EXHIBIT F. The Agreement is hereby amended to include Exhibit F as attached hereto, for the purpose of confirming the manner in which the Assets will be sold, conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered from Sellers to Buyers.

3. CERNER COSTS. The following new Section 10.27 shall be added to the Agreement:

10.27 Cerner Costs. The parties agree that each of Sellers and Buyers shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates to Cerner Corporation (“Cerner”) for implementation and transition services in connection with the Information Services Agreement contemplated by Section 10.14. In connection therewith, Buyers shall reimburse Sellers at the Closing in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount payable by Sellers to Cerner for such services, as evidenced by invoices from Cerner and as set forth on the closing statement executed and delivered by the parties contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Amendment (the “Closing Statement”).

4. RENT PAYMENTS. The following new Section 10.28 shall be added to the Agreement:

10.28 Rent Payments. Sellers and Buyers acknowledge that, (i) prior to the Effective Time, Sellers may pay rent or other amounts under the Operating Leases and/or collect rent or other amounts under the leases where Sellers are landlord or sublandlord (the “Landlord Leases”), in each case, that are allocable to periods after the Effective Time, (ii) after the Effective Time, Buyers may collect rent or other amounts under the Landlord Leases that are allocable to periods prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) after the Effective Time, Sellers may receive rent or other amounts under the Landlord Leases that are allocable to periods after the Effective Time. Accordingly, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, (A) Buyers shall pay to Sellers the aggregate amount of any rents or other amounts paid by Sellers under any of the Operating Leases that are allocable to periods after the Effective Time, and (B) with respect to Landlord Leases, (1) Sellers shall pay to Buyers the aggregate amount of any rents or other amounts that are collected or received by Sellers that are allocable to periods after the Effective Time, and (2) Buyers shall pay to Sellers the aggregate amount of any rents or other payments that are collected or received by Buyers that are allocable to periods prior to the Effective Time.

5. PRE-CLOSING TRAINING OF PERSONNEL. The following new Section 10.29 shall be added to the Agreement:

10.29 Pre-Closing Training of Personnel. In anticipation of the Closing, Buyers desire for certain employees of the Facilities to participate in training sessions prior to the Closing, for purposes of transitioning to employment by Buyers or their Affiliates after the Closing. Buyers agree to reimburse Sellers for the time spent by employees in any such training sessions that occur prior to the Closing on an hourly basis, at an hourly rate equal to each such employee’s hourly wage rate. Such amounts shall be included on the Closing Statement to the extent such amounts have

been confirmed prior to the Closing, and any such amounts that are not confirmed until after the Closing shall be included in the final reconciliation of Acquired Net Working Capital.

6. RECONCILIATION OF LPPF TAX ASSETS; REIMBURSEMENT FOR USE OF LPPF TAX ASSETS. The parties acknowledge and agree that, although the balance of Seller’s LPPF Tax Assets as of the Effective Time will be included in the calculation of Acquired Net Working Capital for purposes of the final reconciliation of Acquired Net Working Capital under Section 1.6 of the Agreement, the final reconciliation of any amounts due between Sellers and Buyers in respect of LPPFs will be completed after the reconciliation of Acquired Net Working Capital and in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 1.7(c). At a minimum, in addition to the reconciliation of Acquired Net Working Capital under Section 1.6 of the Agreement, the parties shall reconcile any amounts due between Sellers and Buyers in respect of LPPFs as of one (1) year after the Effective Time, again as of two (2) years after the Effective Time, and (if necessary) again promptly after final calculations for all fiscal years ending on or before September 30, 2024 are available. Further, for the sake of clarification, in addition to the provisions set forth in Section 1.7(c) of the Agreement pertaining to the use of LPPF Tax Assets and payments available to Sellers and Buyer through LPPFs, the parties agree that if any payment to Sellers in respect of periods prior to the Effective Time requires the use of LPPF Tax Assets of Buyer (including any LPPF Tax Assets purchased from Sellers at the Closing as part of the Acquired Net Working Capital), Sellers shall reimburse Buyers for the amount of such LPPF Tax Assets used to generate such payments to Seller.

7. EFFECT ON AGREEMENT; GENERAL PROVISIONS. Except as set forth in this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and declared to be in full force and effect. This Amendment shall be governed by the provisions of the Agreement; provided, however, to the extent that the terms of this Amendment and the Agreement conflict, the terms of this Amendment shall control. This Amendment shall become effective upon its execution, which may occur in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Captions and paragraph headings are used herein for convenience only, are not a part of this Amendment or the Agreement as amended by this Amendment and shall not be used in construing either document. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the other documents and agreements relating to the Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
