5.6 Leadership at Xxxxxxx.

(a) At Closing, and except as set forth below, the HMA Manager will terminate and the manager of the Novant Managed Hospital Facilities (the “Novant Manager”) shall cause a Novant Affiliate or the Novant Managed Hospital Facility to offer to hire and employ the Chief Executive Officer and the Director of Nursing at Xxxxxxx (collectively, the “Management Employees”) to be effective as of the Effective Time, at the same rate of compensation as was paid to such Management Employee on the day immediately preceding Closing, and with benefits substantially similar to those then provided by Novant or the Novant Manager to all employees at Novant’s and Novant Affiliate’s other locations.

(b) Novant will cause the Novant Manager to give each Management Employee full credit for all service with the Novant Managed Hospital Facility, as if such service had been with Novant and the Novant Manager, for purposes of eligibility to participate in, vesting and payment of benefits under (but not for purposes of determining the amount of any benefit under) the qualified retirement plan and any other employee benefit plan maintained by the Novant Affiliate employing the Management Employee, to the extent permitted by Law and the terms of each such plan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Closing, the HMA Manager and Novant will each comply in all respects with the group health plan continuation coverage requirements of COBRA.

5.7 Physician Matters.

(a) Attached hereto as Schedule 5.7(a) is a list of each physician who is employed or was formerly employed by Novant or one of its Affiliates and who perform services at or in the vicinity of a Distributed Hospital Facility or the HMA Managed Hospital Facility (each, a “Novant Physician”). The parties acknowledge that HMA and its Affiliates have engaged in discussions with some or all of the Novant Physicians regarding employment opportunities at HMA and its Affiliates prior to the date hereof, and Novant consents to the aforesaid discussions. Following Closing, the parties agree that HMA and its Affiliates may continue to discuss employment opportunities with the Novant Physicians and that HMA and its Affiliates may offer to employ some or all of such Novant Physicians.

(b) In the event that HMA or one of its Affiliates makes an offer of employment to a Novant Physician and the Novant Physician accepts an offer of employment by HMA or one of its Affiliates (such physician being referred to herein as an “HMA Hired Physician”): (i) the HMA Hired Physician and HMA or its Affiliate will enter into a new employment agreement governing the terms and conditions of the HMA Hired Physician’s employment; (ii) the HMA Hired Physician’s employment agreement with Novant or Novant’s Affiliate will be terminated by mutual agreement of the HMA Hired Physician and Novant or its Affiliate as of a mutually agreed upon date, without enforcement of any notice period otherwise required to be satisfied to terminate such agreement and without penalty to the HMA Hired Physician; (iii) Novant or its Affiliate will waive the enforcement of any restrictive covenant that by its terms would otherwise survive termination of the employment agreement between the HMA Hired Physician and Novant or its Affiliate, so that the covenant would not be violated or be implicated as a result of the HMA Hired Physician’s employment by and service to HMA or HMA’s Affiliate; (iv) Novant or its Affiliate will forgive any unamortized portion of any signing bonus or similar payment advances (“Unearned Advance”) received by the HMA Hired Physician under the HMA Hired Physician’s prior employment agreement with Novant or its Affiliate. HMA will reimburse Novant or its Affiliate for any Unearned Advance that was paid to such HMA Hired Physician and was forgiven by Novant or its Affiliate in accordance with this Section 5.7(b).

18

(c) Novant shall provide professional liability coverage, in the same amounts that it was providing immediately prior to the date hereof, to each HMA Hired Physician for acts occurring during the period the HMA Hired Physician was employed by Foundation or its Affiliates. Novant shall provide proof of said insurance for prior acts to HMA on or before the date an HMA Hired Physician becomes employed by HMA or its Affiliates.

(d) Neither HMA nor any of HMA’s Affiliates shall be responsible for or liable for any obligations or liabilities of the respective medical practices or operations of the HMA Hired Physicians which accrue, or arise out of acts performed or contracts entered into, during the period the HMA Hired Physicians were employed by Novant or its Affiliates.

(e) HMA or its Affiliates will also offer to hire and employ each non-physician employee of Novant or an Affiliate of Novant whose primary employment duties relate to the medical practice maintained by a HMA Hired Physician (an “Acquired Physician Practice”), subject to each employee meeting and complying with the standard employment policies of HMA and its Affiliates, in each case at the same rate of compensation and with substantially similar benefits as was paid or provided to such employees immediately preceding Closing, effective as of the date of employment of the applicable HMA Hired Physician. Novant (or its Affiliates, if applicable), will exercise good faith efforts to encourage the non-physician employees who provide services at the Acquired Physician Practices to also become employees of HMA or its Affiliates. Novant (or its Affiliates, if applicable) will cooperate to effectuate the efficient transfer of the aforesaid non-physician employees to HMA or its Affiliates. Any non-physician employee of Novant or an Affiliate of Novant whose primary employment duties relate to the Acquired Physician Practices, and who accepts employment with HMA or its Affiliates is referred to herein as a “HMA Hired Employee”).

(f) Between the date hereof and the date on which any Novant Physician becomes an HMA Hired Physician, Novant (or its Affiliates, as applicable) will operate the medical practice of such Novant Physician in the Ordinary Course of Business.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.7 will limit HMA’s management prerogatives with respect to the HMA Hired Physicians or HMA Hired Employees, or create a right of continued employment for any HMA Hired Physician, HMA Hired Employee or group of employees, or create any right of action by any HMA Hired Physician, HMA Hired Employees, any group of HMA Hired Physicians or HMA Hired Employees or any other third party, either jointly or severally.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after Closing, Novant, HMA and their respective Affiliates will each comply in all respects with the group health plan continuation coverage requirements of COBRA.

(i) The HMA Hired Physicians and the HMA Hired Employees shall not accrue or earn any benefits under any Plan sponsored by Novant or its ERISA Affiliates on and after the date on which they are employed by HMA or its Affiliates. Upon the commencement of employment with HMA or an Affiliate, HMA or its Affiliates

19

will assume and agree to be responsible for all accrued vacation time benefits, if any, owed to the HMA Hired Physicians and the HMA Hired Employees as of the date employment with Novant or an Affiliate ceases, and Novant will, within ten (10) days following the commencement of employment, pay to HMA an amount equal to the accrued vacation time so assumed. In consideration of said payment, HMA covenants and agrees that the HMA Affiliate employing the HMA Hired Physicians and the HMA Hired Employees shall credit them with the accrued vacation time benefit for which the aforesaid payment has been made, and will pay such individuals in accordance with HMA Policies to the extent that any of the credited vacation time is not used (i.e., the HMA Affiliate employing such persons will not impose or maintain a “use it or lose it” policy with respect to the accrued vacation time benefit credited to the employees pursuant to this subsection (i)). If required by Law or by the terms of any employment agreement, in lieu of HMA assuming accrued vacation time and Novant making payment to HMA for such assumption, Novant will instead pay the amount of the accrued vacation time to the HMA Hired Physicians or HMA Hired Employees who are subject to such Laws or employment agreements. For all purposes of this subsection (i), accrued vacation time to be transferred shall not include any sick bank time.

(j) Each Novant Physician who performs services at or in the immediate vicinity of a Distributed Hospital Facility is herein referred to as a “Distributed Hospital Physician.” Effective upon the date that each Distributed Hospital Physician (other than those performing services at or in the immediate vicinity of the Statesville Facility) terminates employment with Novant or an Affiliate, irrespective of whether he or she becomes employed by HMA or any HMA Affiliate, and also effective upon the date that each Novant Physician performing services at the HMA Managed Hospital Facility becomes an HMA Hired Physician, Novant will cause its applicable Affiliate to transfer and assign to HMA, or its designated Affiliate, (i) all of the equipment, inventory, supplies, furniture and furnishings, including medical equipment, computers, and other data processing equipment, and related software (to the extent transferable) owned by the applicable Affiliates of Novant and used exclusively in the medical practice of the aforesaid Novant Physician, and (ii) all contracts and agreements (other than payor agreements), including leases, to which the applicable Affiliates of Novant are a party and which relate exclusively to the aforesaid medical practice (collectively, the “Practice Assets”); provided, however, (i) that HMA will not accept the assignment of or assume any agreement with respect to the Metro Ethernet links between Time Warner Cable and Novant or one of its Affiliates and (ii) in the event a lease agreement or other contract is with a Novant Physician, or an Affiliate or family member of the Novant Physician, and is reasonably determined by HMA or its Affiliate to not be on fair market value terms or to give rise to a reasonable regulatory concern, HMA or its Affiliate shall have the option to not accept assignment of such contract and to negotiate a new contract with the applicable Novant Physician, or his or her Affiliate or family member. Any such contract assigned to HMA or an Affiliate will be assumed by the assignee. With respect to any Distributed Hospital Physician who perform services at or in the immediate vicinity of the Statesville Facility, the Practice Assets associated with such Distributed Hospital Physician will be transferred to HMA or its designated Affiliate (subject to the limitations set forth above) at such time as the Distributed Hospital Physician becomes employed by HMA or an HMA Affiliate. Upon the transfer of the Practice Assets with respect to any Distributed Hospital

20

Physician, Novant will cause to be delivered to HMA, or any Affiliate designated by it, bills of sale and instruments of assignment as reasonably necessary to reflect the transfer and assignment of the Practice Assets to HMA, or its designated Affiliate, and HMA or its designated Affiliate shall agree to assume and be responsible for the Practice Assets from and after the date of transfer. At Closing, and solely with respect to the Practice Assets and Unearned Advances related to the Distributed Hospital Physicians who perform services at or in the immediate vicinity of a Distributed Hospital Facility other than the Statesville Facility, HMA or its Affiliate will make a payment to the Novant Affiliate who will make the aforesaid transfers in an amount equal to $1,479,714, as payment for (i) the Practice Assets ($1,334,714), and (ii) the Unearned Advances that are to be forgiven by Novant or its Affiliate pursuant to Section 5.7(b) ($145,000). Upon transfer of the Practice Assets related to any Novant Physician who perform services at or in the immediate vicinity of the HMA Managed Hospital Facility or the Statesville Facility, and who becomes an HMA Hired Physician within ninety (90) days following the Closing, HMA or its Affiliate will make a payment to the Novant Affiliate making the transfer in an amount equal to the book value (reflecting the original cost less accumulated depreciation) of the Practice Assets so transferred, as reflected on the books of the Novant Affiliate.

(k) Novant shall permit each HMA Hired Physician to maintain his or her medical staff privileges and practices at the Novant Managed Hospital Facilities at which he or she maintained such privileges and practices prior to his or her employment with HMA or its Affiliate, subject to the HMA Hired Physician continuing to comply in all respects with the medical staff and hospital rules and bylaws pertaining to each of the Novant Managed Hospital Facilities.

(l) HMA LP and HMA hereby jointly covenant and agree to reimburse Novant for any Physician Losses incurred by Novant or any of its Affiliates with respect to the medical practice of each Distributed Hospital Physician occurring between October 4, 2009 and October 20, 2009. “Physician Losses” shall mean the net loss as reflected on the financial statements for the medical practices of the Distributed Hospital Physicians, as prepared by Novant or its Affiliates in accordance with GAAP and applied on a basis consistent with the historical financial statements for the medical practices of the Distributed Hospital Physicians (the “Distributed Hospital Physician Financials”). For each Distributed Hospital Physician, Novant will prepare and distribute to HMA LP Distributed Hospital Physician Financials for calendar year 2009 as long as the applicable Distributed Hospital Physician remains employed by Novant or any of its Affiliates, together with the calculation of Physician Losses for the periods set forth above. Upon request, Novant will provide to HMA LP copies of all work papers utilized or prepared in the preparation of the Distributed Hospital Physician Financials, and will cooperate fully and completely in responding to reasonable questions and requests for information submitted by HMA LP in connection with its review of the same, and will provide to HMA LP, on reasonable advance notice, full reasonable access to all books and records of Novant and its Affiliates to the extent related to the preparation of the Distributed Hospital Physician Financials. HMA LP will reimburse Novant for the Physician Losses incurred with respect to each Distributed Hospital Physician not later than thirty (30) days following its receipt from Novant of the Distributed Hospital Physician Financials, the calculation of Physician Losses pertaining to such Distributed Hospital Physician, and the other materials set forth in this Section.

21

5.8 Release of Encumbrances.

HMA and HMA LP jointly and severally covenant and agree to secure from the agent administering HMA’s secured credit facility the full and effective release of any Encumbrances in favor of such agent or the lenders under the secured credit facility with respect to the Remaining Hospital Facilities, assets utilized by the Company or the Remaining Hospital Facilities, and shares or other ownership interests in the Remaining Subsidiaries within five (5) days following the date hereof, and to cause the same to be filed in the appropriate public offices within ten (10) days thereafter. HMA and HMA LP further covenant and agree to secure, within sixty (60) days following the date hereof, the full and effective release of any other Encumbrances with respect to the Remaining Hospital Facilities or assets utilized by them that are not Permitted Encumbrances, and promptly cause the same to be filed in all appropriate public offices. HMA and/or HMA LP will deliver evidence of each release required under this Section to Foundation within ten (10) days of the date it is obtained and, where applicable, recorded.

5.9 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) HMA and its Affiliates shall (i) as of the first day of the first payroll period that commences on or after Closing, amend and restate the portions of the Health Management Associates, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the “HMA 401(k) Plan”) attributable to the current employees of the Novant Managed Subsidiaries and the Novant Managed Hospital Facilities (the “Current Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees”) as separate 401(k) plans to be sponsored by Xxxxxxx and Louisburg (collectively the “Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan”), which Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan shall be separate from the HMA 401(k) Plan but shall provide for design features which are similar to the HMA 401(k) Plan and shall permit matching and nonelective contributions to be made for the benefit of the employees employed by Xxxxxxx or Louisburg or both (as applicable) at an applicable time after Closing (the “Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees”), (ii) on or about October 16, 2009, cause the spin off of the assets, accounts balances, and benefit liabilities from the HMA 401(k) Plan attributable to the Current Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees by transferring the benefit liabilities and corresponding assets and account balances of the Current Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees to the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan, and (iii) as of the first payroll period ending on or after Closing (but not sooner than the amendment and restatement of the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan as a separate plan pursuant to “(i),” above), cause to be terminated the participation of all of the Current Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees in the HMA 401(k) Plan. Such spin-off of the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations and ERISA, and all documentation to cause such spin-off shall be prepared and finalized by HMA and approved by Novant. Novant and HMA shall take such action, or cause their Affiliates to take such action, as may be required to effectuate the above-referenced spin-off and permit the administration of the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan as of and after Closing.

22

As of the Closing and during the term of the Amended LLC Agreement, the Mooresville 401(k) Plan (defined below) and the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan shall exclude from post-Closing participation any and all employees who, for an applicable plan year, are “highly compensated employees,” within the meaning of Code Section 414(q), provided, however, that the spin-off of the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan shall include a transfer to the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan of the benefit liabilities and corresponding assets and account balances of such highly compensated employees who are Current Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees, and their participation shall be limited, for such applicable plan years that they are highly compensated employees, such that they shall be excluded from making salary reduction contributions, and receiving allocations under the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan of any and all employer nonelective contributions and matching contributions. The determination of employees who are highly compensated employees for purposes of the Mooresville 401(k) Plan and Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan shall be made consistently by using the prior plan year/look back method for determining highly compensated employee status.

Further, HMA and its Affiliates shall make such arrangements as are necessary to ensure that, as of the first day of the first payroll period to commence on or after Closing, coverage will continue under all HMA Benefit Plans (except the HMA 401(k) Plan) under which the Current Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees are covered (immediately prior to the Closing) for the Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees and their dependents who meet the applicable eligibility requirements of such plans (the “Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage”). Novant and/or one or more of its Affiliates shall pay HMA the full premium cost (for insured benefits) and full premium equivalent cost (for self-insured benefits) for such Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage, except to the extent the premium cost is paid pursuant to withholding from or salary deduction elections relating to applicable employees’ compensation. (Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Novant, Xxxxxxx, Louisburg and their Affiliates from requiring the Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees to pay some portion or all of any or all of the Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage premium cost.) For avoidance of doubt, the premium equivalent cost for health care and dependent care flexible spending account benefits shall be a monthly amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual benefit elected by the employee. Novant’s payments to HMA shall be made on or before last day of month for which such Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage is provided. The Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage shall continue until the expiration of the Interim Period, except to the extent modified or terminated solely by the unilateral action of an insurance carrier, in which case HMA shall notify Novant promptly upon receipt of notice of modification or termination from the insurance carrier and in the event of termination, HMA shall, upon request by Novant, make commercially reasonable efforts to arrange replacement coverage which is similar to the applicable Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage being replaced.

The flexible spending account options offered to Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees under the Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage for the 2010 calendar year shall limit maximum annual elections for Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees to no more than $4,992 for dependent care flexible spending account benefits and $4,992 for health care flexible spending account benefits. Effective at the expiration of the Interim Period, Novant shall implement under its dependent care and health care flexible spending account

23

arrangement (“Novant FSA”) the 2010 calendar year elections made by Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees under the Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage and shall assume responsibility for administering and paying under the Novant FSA all reimbursement claims of Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees with respect to the 2010 calendar year that are submitted for payment on or after the expiration of the Interim Period, whether such claims arose during (but not before January 1, 2010) or after the expiration of the Interim Period. As soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the expiration of the Interim Period, HMA shall calculate an “FSA Adjustment Amount” by subtracting: (i) the sum of all claims incurred in 2010 prior to the expiration of the Interim Period and paid by HMA prior to date as of which the FSA Adjustment Amount is calculated; from (ii) the sum of the premium equivalent cost payments made to HMA by Novant with respect to flexible spending account benefits prior to the expiration of the Interim Period. If the FSA Adjustment Amount is negative, Novant shall promptly pay such amount to HMA. If the FSA Adjustment Amount is positive, HMA shall promptly pay such amount to Novant.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Interim Welfare Benefit Coverage shall not include workers’ compensation.

Effective upon the end of the Interim Period, HMA and its Affiliates will cause to be terminated the participation of all of the Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees (and their dependents) in all HMA Benefit Plans still covering such individuals. Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees and their spouses and dependents who are covered by COBRA, have elected COBRA or who first become eligible to elect COBRA as of or prior to the end of the Interim Period shall be covered for COBRA purposes by HMA. Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees and their spouses and dependents who first become eligible to elect COBRA after the end of the Interim Period shall be covered for COBRA purposes by the applicable health plan sponsored by or in relation to Xxxxxxx or Louisburg after the Closing.

HMA shall cause to be provided throughout the Interim Period applicable services, and shall perform applicable duties and obligations, as is required under the Transition Services Agreement in relation to and consistent with this Section 5.9.

(b) Effective upon the end of the Interim Period, Novant and its Affiliates may, but need not, cause the Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees to be covered by employee retirement, deferred compensation, health, welfare and benefit plans and programs (whether or not covered by ERISA) which are adopted, maintained or sponsored by Novant, Foundation, the Novant Managed Subsidiaries, Xxxxxxx, Louisburg, or their respective Affiliates solely for Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Employees (the “Xxxxxxx and Louisburg Plans”), including the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan, which may (but need not be) amended to be the same as the Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan of Novant Health, Inc. (the “Novant 401(k) Plan”).

(c) With respect to each applicable plan year which begins during the term of the Amended LLC Agreement but after the Interim Period, and with respect to which Novant reasonably concludes that Mooresville or the Company is or may be part of any type of an affiliated service group (within the meaning of Section 414(m) of the Code) with Novant and/or any of Novant’s Affiliates and the Internal Revenue Service has not

24

issued a ruling on behalf of Novant, HMA, or any of their Affiliates (including Mooresville, Xxxxxxx and/or Louisburg) to the contrary, HMA and the HMA Manager shall cause Mooresville to (i) maintain solely for Mooresville employees a plan qualified under both Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Mooresville 401(k) Plan”) with terms relating to eligibility to participate, eligibility to make elective deferrals and receive employer matching and nonelective contributions, plan year, and other benefits rights and features (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code), and other applicable 401(a) and (k) plan features which are the same as those provided under the Novant 401(k) Plan as in effect on the date hereof, provided that this paragraph (c) does not require the making of any amount of contributions except as expressly stated in the provisions of this Section 5.9, (ii) make employer nonelective contributions to the Mooresville 401(k) Plan in sufficient (but not in excess of the) amount to enable the Novant 401(k) Plan and the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan to meet all applicable Code tests and requirements (and such nonelective contributions by Mooresville shall be made on or before the due date of its tax return for the fiscal year that includes the applicable plan year-end, but in no event later than the date by which such contributions must be made in order to meet all such tests and requirements applicable to the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan and the Novant 401(k) Plan), provided, however, that Mooresville shall have no obligation to make any contribution under this clause in order to correct a failure of the actual deferral percentage test or actual contribution percentage test, or with respect to the Section 401(a)(4) test unless all employees of Novant and its Affiliates taken into account for such test are receiving a nonelective contribution pursuant to an identical formula, and provided further that Mooresville shall not be required to make a contribution under this provision in excess of the amount calculated under such formula, and provided that Novant shall provide HMA with reasonably acceptable documentation of the need for any contribution requested under this paragraph, in accordance with subsection (l), and (iii) make employer matching contributions to the Mooresville 401(k) Plan on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to three percent (3%) of the pay of the eligible plan participants who have completed a year of service. In the event Novant increases the matching contribution made to all other match-eligible employees under plans of Novant or its Affiliates, HMA and the HMA Manager will cause Mooresville to increase its matching contribution to equal the matching contribution made under the Novant 401(k) Plan, effective no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which Novant advises HMA in writing that it is going to increase, or has increased, its matching contribution. If the matching contribution made under the Novant 401(k) Plan is decreased, Novant will promptly notify HMA in writing, and Mooresville shall be entitled to decrease the matching contribution under the Mooresville 401(k) Plan accordingly.

(d) During each plan year described in (c), within thirty (30) days following the end of such plan year for the Mooresville 401(k) Plan, HMA will provide to Novant (except to the extent applicable privacy or other laws prohibit such action) a schedule showing the names and compensation of, and all contributions made by, each participant in the Mooresville 401(k) Plan, all contributions made by Mooresville with respect to each participant in that plan, and such other plan-related data and information as Novant may reasonably request. During the term of the Amended LLC Agreement, Novant shall have access to the books and records pertaining to the Mooresville 401(k) Plan, upon five business days’ prior notice to HMA (subject to reasonable administrative

25

delays), to obtain any information necessary to assist it in performing coverage testing. Within thirty (30) days following the end of any plan year for the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan during which HMA has reasonably concluded that Xxxxxxx and/or Louisburg is or may be in an affiliated service group (within the meaning of Section 414(m) of the Code) with HMA and/or its Affiliates and/or a controlled group with Mooresville, Novant will provide to HMA (except to the extent applicable privacy or other laws prohibit such action) a schedule showing the names and compensation of, and all contributions made by, each participant in the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan, all contributions made by Novant, Xxxxxxx, Louisburg or any Affiliate with respect to each participant in that plan, and such other plan-related data and information as HMA may reasonably request. During the term of the Amended LLC Agreement, HMA shall have access to the books and records pertaining to the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan, upon five business days’ prior notice to Novant (subject to reasonable administrative delays), to obtain any information necessary to assist it in performing coverage testing. HMA, Novant, and their Affiliates and service providers will take appropriate precautions to keep data provided pursuant to this paragraph confidential, and will use it only in connection with benefit plan administration.

(e) Subject to appropriate alterations as may be required under present or future applicable law or regulations or governmental agency pronouncements, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.9 (including, without limitation, Section 5.9(c)), HMA and the HMA Manager will cause Mooresville to maintain the Mooresville 401(k) Plan during the term of the Amended LLC Agreement, and to not amend it in such a way as would cause a breach of the requirements imposed upon one or more HMA, HMA Manager and their Affiliates under this Section 5.9, and to timely amend it, from time to time, so as to comply with such requirements of this Section 5.9, and further agrees not to amend the Mooresville Plan, or cause it to be amended, in a way which would require increased contributions to the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan unless requested to do so by Novant in accordance with Section 5.9(c). Subject to appropriate alterations as may be required under present or future applicable law or regulations or governmental agency pronouncements, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.9 (including, without limitation, HMA’s obligations under Section 5.9(c)), Novant will cause Xxxxxxx and Louisburg to maintain the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan during the term of the Amended LLC Agreement, and to not amend it in such a way as would cause a breach of the requirements imposed upon one or more of Novant and its Affiliates under this Section 5.9, and to timely amend it, from time to time, so as to comply with such requirements of this Section 5.9, and further agrees not to amend the Xxxxxxx/Louisburg 401(k) Plan, or cause it to be amended, in a way which would require increased contributions to the Mooresville 401(k) Plan except in accordance with Section 5.9(c)’s provisions regarding alterations to the matching contribution formula.

(f) Neither Novant nor HMA (nor any of their respective Affiliates, including but not limited to Mooresville, Xxxxxxx and Louisburg) shall file a request for a ruling from the IRS with respect to the membership of the Company, Mooresville, Xxxxxxx and Louisburg in an affiliated service group without first obtaining the other party’s written consent.

26

(g) During the term of the Amended LLC Agreement, HMA and the HMA Manager shall cause Mooresville to provide benefits, eligibility for participation and other applicable employee-participant entitlements under applicable Mooresville-related non-401(a) plans to enable the non-401(a) plans of or relating to Xxxxxxx, Louisburg, Novant and its Affiliates to meet all applicable coverage, benefit amount and other Code requirements (including, without limitation, Code Sections 105(h) and 125, and requirements applicable to enabling highly compensated employees and highly compensated participants and their respective spouses and dependents to exclude from gross income for income tax purposes, cost of coverage, benefits and related benefit features and amounts), provided that Novant supplies HMA with reasonably acceptable documentation (pursuant to subsection (1)) that any action requested under this paragraph is indeed required for this purpose.

(h) If, after the Closing, any provision of the Code applicable to the provisions, requirements or covenants of this Section 5.9 is amended or replaced, or if new Code sections are added which impose additional or different requirements than those addressed in this Section 5.9, the provisions, requirements and covenants of this Section 5.9 shall be read to and shall automatically require compliance by HMA and the HMA Manager with any and all such amended, replacement and new Code sections and the concomitant actions and omissions to act required of HMA and the HMA Manager which are necessary or appropriate to enable any and all of the plans and arrangements of or related to Xxxxxxx, Mooresville, Novant or its Affiliates to obtain and maintain compliance with all such amended, replacement and new Code Sections.

(i) No provision of this Agreement constitutes or shall give rise to, or shall be deemed to constitute or give rise to, an employment agreement or entitlement, an employee benefit or employee benefit-related plan, program or other arrangement, a provision of any such plan, program or other arrangement, or an amendment of any such plan, program or other arrangement. No employee or other service-provider shall have, or be entitled to claim, any right, claim or other entitlement under or in connection with any provision of this Agreement.

(j) In the event of any dispute, claim, question or disagreement arises with respect to whether any nonelective or matching contribution is required to be made to the Mooresville 401(k) Plan under Section 5.9(c) (a “Contribution Dispute”), HMA and Novant shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith in an attempt to reach a solution satisfactory to both HMA and Novant. If HMA and Novant do not reach such solution within five business days, then HMA and Novant shall, within three business days of the expiration of such five business day period, request a third party that is experienced in the matters at issue (the “Benefits Consultant”), selected by HMA and Novant, to determine the amount of contributions required to be made to the Mooresville 401(k) Plan by Section 5.9(c), if any. The determination of the Benefits Consultant shall be final and binding on the parties. HMA and Novant will use all good faith efforts to seek to have the Benefit Consultant’s determination completed within 10 business days from the date the Contribution Dispute is submitted to the Benefits Consultant. Novant shall provide HMA with, or access to, all books, records, studies and analyses used by Novant in its determination of the amount of contributions required to be made to the Mooresville Plan under Section 5.9(c).

Prior to the date of this Agreement, HMA has provided to Foundation copies of all title information in the possession of HMA or its Affiliates relating to the Novant Managed Hospital Facilities, including abstracts of title and policies of title insurance.

(a) HMA, Xxxxxxx, and the Company will make all good faith efforts to obtain, prior to Closing, the registration of that certain 10,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank located at the Xxxxxxx hospital (the “UST”) with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (“DHEC”) and any other governmental authorities requiring registration, certification, or permitting of the UST, and full resolution at Xxxxxxx’x expense of any and all fees, penalties, or expenses of any type relating to or arising from such efforts. The parties expressly recognize that the resolution and payments anticipated by this paragraph (herein referred to as the “UST Costs”) may include (but are not limited to) payment of the current DHEC registration fee; payment of prior years’ registration fees; any fines, penalties or other charges assessed relating to failure in prior years to register, certify, or permit the UST; any costs, including legal fees, associated with challenging in any forum such charges (if determined by Xxxxxxx or the Company to be appropriate to challenge); expenses incurred for soil sampling, boring, and testing as may be required by DHEC relating to such registration or lawful operation of the UST; and payment for any and all environmental remediation and any repairs or replacements that may be ordered or otherwise reasonably required should any UST-related environmental contamination be discovered as a result of any DHEC-required or other testing relating to the present effort to register the UST. If compliance with the foregoing sentences in this Section 5.11(a) is not fully obtained prior to Closing, HMA, Xxxxxxx, and the Company will continue the above-referenced efforts in good faith post-Closing, and the parties agree that any and all UST Costs, whether pre- or post-Closing, shall be borne 73% by HMA LP and 27% by Foundation. In the event any of the UST Costs are incurred by Xxxxxxx or Foundation post-Closing, HMA shall reimburse (or cause HMA LP to reimburse) Foundation for HMA LP’s share of the same (HMA LP’s share being 73% of the UST Costs, based upon the 73%-27% allocation specified above).

(b) As related to all Regulated Asbestos-Containing-Material as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and including asbestos or any material that contains any hydrated mineral silicate, including chrysolite, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophylite and/or actinolite (collectively “RACM”), identified at the Louisburg Hospital Facility, the parties agree that all nonencapsulated RACM identified as Samples A-58 and A-59 in that certain Asbestos Containing Materials Report prepared by Alpha Environmental Sciences, Inc. and dated September 28, 2009, shall be remediated (i.e., brought to a condition such that the RACM would not, in its remediated state, pose a danger to human health) following the Closing at Louisburg’s expense by a qualified asbestos remediation contractor holding all appropriate state and/or federal

28

licenses, certifications, and permits, and as is selected by HMA. The manner of remediation will consist of RACM removal and disposal, replacing RACM with suitable non-RACM materials, environmental consulting and monitoring before, during, and following such remediation, and all other work and expenses relating to such remediation. The parties agree that any and all expenses and costs relating to the above-referenced remediation incurred post-Closing shall be borne 73% by HMA LP and 27% by Foundation. HMA LP shall reimburse (or cause HMA LP to reimburse) Foundation for HMA LP’s share of the same (HMA LP’s share being 73% of said expenses and costs, based upon the 73%-27% allocation specified above).

5.12 South Carolina Sales/Use Tax Matters.

HMA LP acknowledges that Gaffney failed to file timely its South Carolina Sales/Use Tax Returns (ST-3) for the periods ending May, 2009 and June, 2009. HMA LP and HMA are working with the South Carolina Department of Revenue to process the returns and payments for the periods ending May, June, and July, 2009. In the process of doing so, HMA, HMA LP or the South Carolina Department of Revenue have identified potential sales/use tax liabilities for the aforesaid periods and for other periods. Gaffney and the Company will make all good-faith efforts to resolve the aforesaid sales/use tax liability prior to Closing and to make payment to the State of South Carolina for all sales and use tax liability (the “Sales Tax Liability”), and any penalties and interest that are payable with respect to the same. If the amount of the Sales Tax Liability is not fully determined and payment is not fully made prior to Closing, HMA and the Company will cooperate in good faith with Xxxxxxx to continue the above-referenced efforts, post-Closing, to resolve the Sales Tax Liability, and the parties agree that said Sales Tax Liability, whether determined pre- or post-Closing, shall be borne 73% by HMA LP and 27% by Foundation, and any penalties and interest relating to the Sales Tax Liability shall be borne 100% by HMA LP. In the event any portion of the Sales Tax Liability or penalty and interest relating to the same are incurred by Xxxxxxx or Foundation post-Closing, HMA shall reimburse (or cause HMA LP to reimburse) Foundation for HMA LP’s share of the same (HMA’s share being 73% of the Sales Tax Liability and 100% of any penalties and interest relating to the same, as set forth above).

(e) As of the date hereof, the Working Capital of each Remaining Subsidiary is sufficient to support the operations of such Remaining Subsidiary’s business in view of the size and scope of that business, as determined and measured by the average monthly Working Capital of each of the Remaining Subsidiaries for the six (6) month period preceding August 31, 2009.

(f) Since August 31, 2009, and except as referred to in part (g), below, the activities, financial practices, and business operations of each of the Novant Managed Subsidiaries have been conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business, and no actions have been taken since that date which have materially impaired the Working Capital of either of the Novant Managed Subsidiaries.

(g) With respect to the Novant Managed Subsidiaries, there are no intercompany balances or intercompany accounts as of the Closing and the elimination of any previously existing intercompany balances or intercompany accounts has not resulted in a deterioration of the financial condition of the Novant Managed Subsidiaries or their respective financial statements.

7.5 Assets; Title.

Each Remaining Subsidiary holds good and marketable fee simple, or leasehold title or interest in the case of property held under lease, to the material assets, real, personal or mixed, tangible and intangible, shown on its Most Recent Balance Sheet, subject only to: (i) obligations created by the Contracts; (ii) those Encumbrances disclosed on Schedule 7.5; (iii) other Encumbrances (including easements, covenants, licenses and other restrictions) which shall not materially interfere with the operation of, materially and adversely affect the value of, or result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to, the Remaining Subsidiaries or the Remaining Hospital Facilities; (iv) mechanics’ materialmen’s, and similar liens filed by third parties in the Ordinary Course of Business and not as a result of any payment delinquency, default or dispute; (v) liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or for Taxes that the taxpayer is contesting in good faith through appropriate proceedings, (vi) liens securing rental payments under capital lease arrangements, and (vii) zoning, building codes, and other land use laws regulating the use or occupancy of the Remaining Hospital Facilities or the activities conducted thereon that are imposed by any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over such

Each of the Remaining Hospital Facilities is duly licensed in the state in which it operates. The Remaining Subsidiaries have all material Governmental Authorizations necessary to operate the Remaining Hospital Facilities as currently operated and all other material rights, privileges, franchises, certificates and applications relating to the operation of the Remaining Hospital Facilities, all of which are in good standing and, to HMA’s knowledge, not subject to meritorious challenge.

To HMA’s knowledge, and except as set forth on Schedule 7.7, each of the Remaining Hospital Facilities is in substantial compliance with the conditions of participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and there are no investigations or failures of compliance (whether or not substantial) which might reasonably be expected to affect such Remaining Hospital Facility’s continuing participation in such programs after Closing.

Each of the Remaining Hospital Facilities is, and for the previous three (3) years has been, in substantial compliance with all Laws of all Governmental Entities having jurisdiction over such Remaining Hospital Facility and the operations thereof, including all Laws relating to billing and all Laws of or administered by the Department, the Medicare and Medicaid programs (including their respective fiscal intermediaries) and TRICARE, and such Remaining Hospital Facility has filed on a timely basis all reports, data and other information required to be filed with such Governmental Entities.

7.9 Contracts.

Schedule 7.9 lists certain commitments, contracts, agreements, real estate leases, capital leases and operating leases, relating exclusively to the operation of the Remaining Hospital Facilities (collectively, the “Contracts”). To HMA’s knowledge, each of the Material Contracts is included on Schedule 7.9 and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the applicable Remaining Subsidiary or Remaining Hospital Facility and is enforceable against such Remaining Subsidiary or Remaining Hospital Facility in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be restricted, limited or delayed by applicable bankruptcy or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity.

36

relating to the subject matter thereof. All obligations required to be performed under the terms of the Material Contracts by the applicable Remaining Subsidiary or Remaining Hospital Facility have, to HMA’s knowledge, been performed, no act or omission has occurred or failed to occur which, with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute a default by the applicable Remaining Subsidiary or Remaining Hospital Facility, or any HMA Affiliate under any of the Material Contracts that would have a Material Adverse Effect on a Remaining Subsidiary or Remaining Hospital Facility.

No Remaining Subsidiary, nor HMA, nor any HMA Affiliate has granted any outstanding licenses or other rights to any Intellectual Property in any way relating to the Remaining Hospital Facilities.

No Remaining Hospital Facility, nor HMA, nor any HMA Affiliate directly or indirectly owning a Remaining Hospital Facility has (a) materially infringed upon, misappropriated, or otherwise come into conflict with the Intellectual Property rights of third parties or (b) received any charge, complaint, claim, demand, or notice alleging the same. None of the rights of the Remaining Subsidiaries in, to or under any of their Intellectual Property will be materially adversely affected by consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. No Remaining Subsidiary has received any notice or claim of infringement of any Intellectual Property of any other Person. Each Remaining Subsidiary owns or has the unencumbered right to use pursuant to a valid and enforceable license, sublicense, agreement, or permission all material Intellectual Property necessary for the operation of the Remaining Hospital Facility it operates as presently operated.

7.11 Insurance.

Each Remaining Subsidiary or its Affiliates maintains, and for the past three (3) years has maintained, insurance policies (or self-insurance as described below) covering the ownership and operations of the Remaining Hospital Facility it operates, and such insurance is comparable with that maintained by others in the industry. Schedule 7.11 sets forth a description of self-insurance arrangements. All of such policies, or similar replacement policies, are in full force and effect with no premium arrearages. With respect to self-insurance arrangements, the reserves set forth on the Financial Statements are adequate (and the reserves to be set forth in the books of each Remaining Subsidiary as of the Closing Date will be adequate and will have been prepared in accordance with GAAP) to cover all liabilities with respect to such self-insurance arrangements.

7.12 Employee Benefit Plans.

Except for those plans or arrangements set forth in Schedule 7.12, no Remaining Subsidiary maintains any pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, bonus, retirement, severance, incentive or other employee health or welfare benefit plan, agreement or arrangement (each, a “Plan”).

No Remaining Subsidiary has ever contributed to, or had an obligation to contribute to, any multiemployer plan (within the meaning of section 3(37) of ERISA) or any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA.

To HMA’s knowledge, no officer of a Remaining Subsidiary is bound by any contractual obligation that would prohibit his or her ability to continue to be employed by the Remaining Subsidiary following the Closing. None of the Remaining Subsidiaries are liable for any payment to any trust or other fund or to any governmental or administrative authority with respect to unemployment compensation benefits, Social Security, or other benefits for employees or former employees, except as arise in the Ordinary Course of Business. No Remaining Subsidiary has, within the three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement, taken any action that alone or combined with any other action of such Remaining Subsidiary or the Remaining Hospital Facility which it operates during any ninety (90) day period, could reasonably be construed as a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” within the meaning of the WARN Act.

48

9.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Any claim for indemnification with respect to any Loss arising out of the matters described in Section 9.1 or 9.2, must be asserted by the Novant Indemnified Parties or the HMA Indemnified Parties, as appropriate, within twenty-four (24) months after the date hereof or it will be barred; provided, however, that any claims for breach of any covenant or agreement made in this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5.9 hereof) shall survive Closing and may be asserted at any time within one (1) year following the last date on which such covenant or agreement is to be performed hereunder or twenty-four (24) months after the date hereof, whichever is longer.

(b) As used in this Article IX, the term “Losses” does not include: (i) any amounts recovered from any surety, insurance carrier or third party obligor, nor the cost of maintaining any surety or insurance policies; or (ii) any cost or expense previously counted in determining Losses. The indemnified party agrees to submit in a timely manner to any applicable surety, insurance carrier or third party obligor all claims for indemnifiable Losses for which such entity may have liability. An indemnifying party shall be entitled to set off against any Losses any amount owed to it by indemnified party or its Affiliates.

(c) Any claim for indemnification by a Novant Indemnified Party that is based upon Losses relating to a Distributed Subsidiary or a Remaining Subsidiary arising out of or in connection with circumstances or events occurring during the period from March 31, 2008 through the date of Closing, to the extent not arising from a breach of the representations and warranties of HMA and HMA LP under Article VII hereof, will be reduced ratably to reflect the Novant Indemnified Party’s allocable share of such Losses which shall be equal to Foundation’s “Percentage Interest” (as defined in the LLC Agreement) in the Company as of the date of the circumstances or events which give rise to the indemnification claim. Any claim for indemnification by an HMA Indemnified Party that is based upon Losses relating to a Distributed Subsidiary or a Remaining Subsidiary arising out of or in connection with circumstances or events occurring during the period from March 31, 2008 through the date of Closing, to the extent not arising from a breach of the representations and warranties of Novant and Foundation under Article VIII hereof, will be reduced ratably to reflect the HMA Indemnified Party’s allocable share of such Losses which shall be equal to HMA L.P.’s “Percentage Interest” (as defined in the LLC Agreement) in the Company as of the date of the circumstances or events which give rise to the indemnification claim.

(d) As a condition precedent to a claim under this Article IX, an indemnified party will promptly give to an indemnifying party notice of any matter which the indemnified party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, which notice will specify in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the basis for indemnification. If a claim by a third party is made against an indemnified party, and if such indemnified party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto, the indemnified party will promptly give the indemnifying party notice of such claim. The indemnifying party will have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume and control the defense of such third-party claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying

49

party elects not to defend against such third-party claim, then it will promptly so notify the indemnified party and, in such event (and even in the absence of such notice), the indemnified party will thereupon be entitled, at its option, to assume and control the defense of such claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice. If the indemnifying party exercises its right to undertake the defense against any such claim as herein provided, the indemnified party will cooperate with the indemnifying party in such defense and make available to the indemnifying party all pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably requested by the indemnifying party. No third-party claim which is being assumed and defended in good faith by the indemnifying party will be settled by the indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party.

(e) The indemnifying party will be subrogated to any and all defenses, claims and setoffs that the indemnified party asserted or could have asserted against the third party making a claim. The indemnified party will execute and deliver to the indemnifying party such documents as may be reasonably necessary to establish by way of subrogation the ability and right of the indemnifying party to assert such defenses, claims and setoffs.

9.4 Exclusive Remedy.

Except for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, and except for claims of equitable relief for alleged breaches of Section 5.2 or Section 5.9, the indemnification provisions in Article IX of this Agreement shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy of the HMA Indemnified Parties and the Novant Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses of any kind or nature whatever incurred because of or resulting from or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Any references to tax-exempt status of an entity or the tax-exempt nature of any income allocated to it shall apply equally to the entity, or any tax-exempt Affiliate of it.

Section 2.12 Regulatory Matters Regarding Foundation.

(a) If, based upon an Opinion of independent counsel obtained pursuant to Section 2.12(c) below, it is determined that the tax-exempt status of Foundation or Novant is more likely than not to be jeopardized by Foundation’s ownership of an interest in the Company, or that Foundation or Novant is more likely than not to be subject to Excess UBTI, the Members shall attempt in good faith to restructure the Company and/or the Class B Subsidiary to eliminate the adverse effect and accomplish, as nearly as possible consistent with the Opinion, the original objectives of the parties. If the Company and the Class B Subsidiary shall not be so restructured within sixty (60) days of delivery of the Opinion to both Members, and if during such sixty (60) day period Foundation is not otherwise persuaded by HMA (through the delivery of contrary third-party legal opinions or otherwise) with respect to the aforesaid tax consequences, Foundation shall have the right to provide HMA L.P. and the Company with written notice (a “Class B Subsidiary Repurchase Triggering Notice”), of its intent to initiate the procedures set forth in Section 2.12(b).

(b) Upon the giving of a Class B Subsidiary Repurchase Triggering Notice, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) For a period of thirty (30) days (the “Initial Notice Period”) following the receipt by HMA L.P. of a Class B Subsidiary Repurchase Triggering Notice, HMA L.P. may elect to cause a distribution of the Class B Sub Units in accordance with Section 9.10, and to purchase Foundation’s Class B Sub Units, by delivering a written notice to Foundation and the Company (an “HMA Regulatory Purchase Notice”) of its intent to do so. In the event that HMA L.P. provides an HMA Regulatory Purchase Notice to Foundation prior to expiration of the Initial Notice Period, HMA L.P. will be obligated to purchase the Class B Sub Units distributed to Foundation in accordance with Section 9.10, and Foundation will be obligated to sell such Class B Sub Units to HMA L.P., at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Class B Sub Units distributed to Foundation. If HMA L.P. provides notice to Foundation prior to the conclusion of the Initial Notice Period that it does not intend to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 2.12(b)(i), the Initial Notice Period shall be deemed to have concluded on the date such notice is given.

(ii) If an HMA Regulatory Purchase Notice has not been given prior to the conclusion of the Initial Notice Period, Foundation shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following conclusion of the Initial Notice Period (the “Subsequent Notice Period”) to elect to cause a distribution of the Class B Sub Units in accordance with Section 9.10, and to purchase HMA L.P.’s Class B Sub Units, by delivering a written notice to HMA L.P. (a “Foundation Regulatory Purchase Notice”) of its intent to do so. In the event that Foundation provides a Foundation Regulatory Purchase Notice to HMA L.P., Foundation will be obligated to purchase the Class B Sub Units distributed to HMA L.P. in accordance with Section 9.10, and HMA L.P. will be obligated to sell such Class B Sub Units to Foundation, at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Class B Sub Units distributed to HMA L.P. If Foundation provides notice to HMA L.P. prior to the conclusion of the Subsequent Notice Period that it does not intend to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 2.12(b)(ii), the Subsequent Notice Period shall be deemed to have concluded on the date such notice is given and Foundation’s and HMA L.P.’s rights under this Section 2.12(b) shall be deemed to have expired.

17

(iii) In the event that either HMA L.P. or Foundation exercise their right to acquire Class B Sub Units under this Section 2.12(b), the transaction shall be consummated in accordance with Section 9.10.

(c) In the event Foundation believes that its or Novant’s tax-exempt status may be jeopardized by its ownership interest in the Company, or that it or Novant may be subject to Excess UBTI, it may request the Board of Managers to select independent counsel experienced in federal tax exemption matters to review and render an opinion on those issues (the “Opinion”) (subject to the standards described in Section 2.12(a)). If the Board of Managers approves independent counsel for that purpose during the Selection Period, such counsel will be engaged solely by Foundation to render the Opinion. If the Board of Managers is deadlocked and unable to agree upon independent counsel for that purpose during the Selection Period, the Foundation Manager shall present to the HMA Manager a list of not less than three (3) such independent counsel (each affiliated with a different law firm) acceptable to the Foundation Manager, and the HMA Manager will select the independent counsel from such list, following which the independent counsel so selected will be engaged solely by Foundation to render the Opinion; provided, however, the aforesaid list presented by the Foundation Manager shall not include a law firm which currently represents, or at any time within the past five (5) years has represented, either Foundation or any Foundation Affiliate, or a lawyer who has provided services to or on behalf of Foundation or a Foundation Affiliate during that time period, or a lawyer or law firm about which the Board of Managers was deadlocked. Foundation shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of the independent counsel in rendering the Opinion referenced in this paragraph. To the extent feasible, the Opinion shall outline reasonable alternatives to restructure the Company to eliminate the adverse effect. The term “Selection Period” shall mean a period of thirty (30) days from the first date Foundation requests that the Board of Managers select independent counsel; provided, however, Foundation can require a shorter Selection Period (not less than ten (10) business days) if the same is necessitated by the effective date of pending litigation, or other time sensitive circumstances.

(d) “Excess UBTI” means Mooresville UBTI in excess of the Mooresville UBTI Threshold.

ARTICLE III

CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

Section 3.1 Adjustment to Capital Accounts.

The parties agree that HMA L.P.’s and Foundation’s respective interests in the Company have been adjusted as of the effective date of the Restructuring Agreement to reflect the distributions described pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Restructuring Agreement. The parties shall maintain Capital Accounts in accordance with Regulations.

Section 3.2 Additional Capital Contributions.

The Members shall make additional Capital Contributions to the Company as follows:

(a) By Agreement of the Members. Each Member will contribute from time to time such additional money or other property as the Members may unanimously agree.

18

(b) Funding Operations of Class A Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, Foundation shall have the sole right to call for Capital Contributions to fund the operations of or capital expenditures for the Class A Subsidiaries.

(c) Contribution Percentages. Unless otherwise agreed by mutual consent of the Members, and except as set forth in Section 5.1(c)(iv), Capital Contributions required hereunder shall be made in the following ratios:

(iii) All other Capital Contributions, if any, shall be funded through a reduction to the distributions otherwise payable, if any, to the Member’s under Section 5.1(b)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Capital Contribution under this Section 3.2(c)(iii) exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), the amount of such excess will be made by the Members in proportion to each Member’s Percentage Interest and will not be funded through a reduction to the distributions payable under Section 5.1(b)(ii).

(d) Failure of a Member to Contribute to the Company. In the event that a Member elects not to make, or fails to make, any Capital Contribution required by Section 3.2 with respect to the Company or it makes such Capital Contribution in an amount less than its required portion (the “Defaulting Member”), then the other Member (the “Nondefaulting Member”) will have the right and option (but not the obligation) to fund the balance of the Defaulting Member’s required Capital Contribution by contributing the amount of such balance to the Company, which contribution shall be treated as a loan (rather than a Capital Contribution) from the Nondefaulting Member to the Company. Such loan will bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12.0%), and will be repaid out of distributions which would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Member under Article 5 hereof before any such distributions are paid to the Defaulting Member.

(e) Failure of a Member to Contribute to the Class A Subsidiary. In the event that a Member elects not to make, or fails to make, any Capital Contribution required by Section 3.2 with respect to a Class A Subsidiary or it makes such Capital Contribution in an amount less than its required portion (the “Defaulting Class A Member”), then the other Member (the “Nondefaulting Class A Member”) will have the right and option (but not the obligation) to fund the balance of the Defaulting Class A Member’s required Capital Contribution by contributing the amount of such balance to the Class A Subsidiary, which contribution shall be treated as a loan (rather than a Capital Contribution) from the Nondefaulting Class A Member to the Class A Subsidiary receiving the funds. Such loan will bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12.0%), and will be repaid by the applicable Class A Subsidiary to the Nondefaulting Class A Member before any distributions payable to the Members under Section 5.1(b)(i) are paid to the Members.

19

(f) Failure of a Member to Contribute to the Class B Subsidiary. In the event that a Member elects not to make, or fails to make, any Capital Contribution required by Section 3.2 with respect to a Class B Subsidiary or it makes such Capital Contribution in an amount less than its required portion (the “Defaulting Class B Member”), then the other Member (the “Nondefaulting Class B Member”) will have the right and option (but not the obligation) to fund the balance of the Defaulting Class B Member’s required Capital Contribution by contributing the amount of such balance to the Class B Subsidiary, which contribution shall be treated as a loan (rather than a Capital Contribution) from the Nondefaulting Class B Member to the Class B Subsidiary. Such loan will bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12.0%), and will be repaid by the Class B Subsidiary to the Nondefaulting Class B Member before any distributions payable to the Members under Section 5.1(b)(ii) are paid to the Members.

Section 3.3 Value of Capital Contributions.

The value of any property contributed to the Company by a Member, whether as a Capital Contribution in such Person’s capacity as a Member or as a loan in such Person’s capacity as a creditor, shall be the value of such property as agreed upon by the Members at arm’s length.

Section 3.4 Maintenance of Capital Accounts.

The Company shall establish and maintain a Capital Account for each Member according to Section 704 of the Code and applicable Regulations. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be adjusted as set forth below:

(a) Increase in Capital Accounts. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by: (1) the amount of any cash actually contributed by the Member to the capital of the Company; (2) the fair market value of any property which the Member contributes to the capital of the Company (net of liabilities assumed by the Company or subject to which the Company takes such property within the meaning of Section 752 of the Code); and (3) the Member’s share of Net Profits and of any separately allocated items of income or gain.

(b) Decrease in Capital Accounts. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by: (1) the amount of any cash distributed to the Member by the Company; (2) the fair market value of any property distributed to the Member (net of liabilities of the Company assumed by the Member or subject to which the Member takes such property within the meaning of Section 752 of the Code) at the time of the distribution; and (3) the Member’s share of Net Losses and of any separately allocated items of deduction or loss.

Section 3.5 Compliance with Section 704(b) of the Code.

(a) The provisions of this Article III as they relate to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended, and shall be construed, and, if necessary, modified to cause the allocations of profits, losses, income, gain and credit pursuant to Article IV to have substantial economic effect under the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, in light of the distributions made pursuant to Article V and the Capital Contributions made pursuant to this Article III.

20

Section 3.6 No Negative Capital Account Restoration.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Member shall be obligated to contribute cash or property to restore a negative Capital Account during the existence or at the dissolution and termination of the Company and the negative Capital Account shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or any other Person for any other purposes.

Section 3.7 Interest on Capital Contributions.

No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution.

Section 3.8 Withdrawal or Reduction of Capital Contributions.

No Member shall receive from the Company a return of any portion of its Capital Contribution unless the Board of Managers decides that the Company has sufficient assets to pay the outstanding indebtedness or liabilities of the Company and the return is approved by the Board of Managers. Irrespective of the nature of the Capital Contribution of a Member, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, including Sections 2.7, 2.12, 6.15, 9.6 and 9.7, a Member only has the right to receive cash in return for its Capital Contribution. Upon any withdrawal or reduction of any Member’s Capital Contribution each Member’s Capital Account will be adjusted to reflect the Fair Market Value of the Member’s interest in the Company prior to giving effect to such withdrawal or reduction of Capital Contributions, as determined in accordance with Section 9.8 and applied in accordance with the allocation rules of Article 4. The withdrawn or reduced Capital Contribution will be deducted from the applicable Member’s Capital Account after adjustment to Fair Market Value reflected in this Section.

The intent of this provision is to ensure that each Member’s Capital Account, to the extent possible, is reduced to zero by the distributions following dissolution of the Company.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Tax Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article IV have been made as if Section 4.2(c) and Section 4.2(d) were not in this Agreement.

(h) Allocations Relating to Taxable Issuance of Membership Interest. Any income, gain, loss, or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of Membership Interest shall be allocated among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Member, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the items had not been realized.

Section 4.3 Curative Allocations.

The allocations set forth in Section 4.2(a) through Section 4.2(g) and Section 4.4 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Company shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2(h).

Section 4.4 Loss Limitation.

Losses allocated pursuant to Section 4.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of losses that can be allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Tax Year. In the event some but not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of losses pursuant to Section 4.1, the limitation set forth in this Section 4.4 shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible losses to each Member under section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations.

Section 4.5 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) For purposes of determining the profits, losses, or any other items allocable to any period, profits, losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Board of Managers using any permissible method under section 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. The parties agree that with respect to the

24

Company’s Tax Year which includes the date hereof, the parties shall utilize the “closing of the books” method of accounting to allocate income before and after the date hereof in accordance with the Members’ varying interests in the Company before and after the date hereof.

(b) Items of income or gain which are not taxable for income tax purposes, and expenditures and losses which are not deductible for income tax purposes shall be allocated in the same manner as Net Profits and Net Losses, respectively.

(c) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article IV and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(d) Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, the Members’ interests in Company profits are in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

Section 4.6 Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).

In accordance with section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and the fair market value of such property. In the event the fair market value of any Company Property is adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.6, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall take account of any variation between the adjusted gross basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value in the same manner as under section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Managers in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. Unless the Board of Managers decides otherwise, the “traditional method,” as defined in section 1.704-3 of the Regulations, shall be used for any adjustments and calculations made under section 704(c) of the Code.

Section 4.7 Power of Board of Managers to Vary Allocations. It is the intent of the Members that each Member’s share of Net Profits and Net Losses be determined and allocated in accordance with the provisions of this Article 4 to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and the provisions of this Agreement shall be so interpreted. Therefore, if the Company is advised by the Company’s legal counsel or accountants that the allocation provisions of this Article 4 are unlikely to comply with either Section 704(b) of the Code, the allocation provisions of this Article 4 shall be deemed amended by the Members in the manner and to the extent determined by the Board of Managers, on advice of accountants or legal counsel, to be in the best interest and consistent with the economic sharing of the Members set forth in this Agreement, but in no event shall such reallocation be greater than the minimum reallocation necessary so that the allocation in this Article 4 will comply with Section 704(b) of the Code.

(the “HMA Class A Economic Interest”).

(ii) To the extent the Company’s Free Cash Flow is derived from a cash distribution from, or the net proceeds from the disposition of the assets of, or the Company’s interest in, a Class B Subsidiary, the Company’s Free Cash Flow shall be distributed thirty percent (30.0%) to Foundation (the “Foundation Class B Economic Interest”) and seventy percent (70.0%) to HMA L.P. (the “HMA Class B Economic Interest”).

26

(iii) All other Free Cash Flow of the Company, if any, will be distributed to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c) In the event that Governmental Authorizations required for the development by Louisburg of a healthcare facility and related operations to be situated on the Youngsville Property (the “Youngsville Hospital”) are pursued, or Louisburg otherwise takes actions related to the development of the Youngsville Hospital, Foundation’s Class A Economic Interest and HMA’s Class A Economic Interest, the parties’ rights to distributions, obligations to make Capital Contributions, and the allocation of Net Profit and Net Loss, shall be modified as follows, effective as of the date on which efforts to obtain Governmental Authorizations or other actions related to the development of the Youngsville Hospital are initiated:

(i) Foundation will cause Louisburg to separately account for the costs of pursuing approval of, designing, constructing, and operating the Youngsville Hospital (the “Youngsville Operations”) and the operations of Franklin Regional Medical Center in Louisburg (the “Louisburg Operations”).

(ii) The portion of the Company’s Free Cash Flow that is attributable to the Louisburg Operations shall be distributed ninety-nine percent (99.0%) to Foundation and one percent (1.0%) to HMA, L.P.

(iv) All costs associated with the Youngsville Operations shall be funded by Foundation and not from Cash Flow from Operations of the Louisburg Operations. Capital Contributions required to fund the Youngsville Operations or capital expenditures related to the Youngsville Hospital, including all costs or expenses incurred in connection with the construction, development or equipping of the Youngsville Hospital, and all activities in connection with obtaining any Governmental Authorizations related thereto or required in connection therewith, shall be made one hundred percent (100.0%) by Foundation and zero percent (0.0%) by HMA L.P.

The intent of this subsection (e) is that each Member shall receive a distribution of Free Cash Flow in the same amount that it would have received had the Free Cash Flow of the Company derived from the Class A Subsidiaries been determined, and a distribution of the same made, immediately prior to the closing date of the Class A Sub Unit Transfer.

(f) Within thirty (30) days following the closing of a Class B Sub Unit Transaction, the Company and the party purchasing the Class B Sub Units in the Class B Sub Unit Transaction (HMA L.P. or Foundation, as applicable) will: (i) cause and assist the Class B Subsidiary (acting through its Subsidiary Manager) to prepare in accordance with GAAP a statement of cash flows for the fiscal year-to-date period through the closing date of the Class B Sub Unit Transaction (the “Class B Distribution Measuring Period”); (ii) cause each Class B Subsidiary to, subject to applicable law, make a cash distribution in the aggregate amount of the Class B Subsidiary’s Free Cash Flow to the Company; and (iii) subject to applicable law, make a final cash distribution to the Members in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(ii) hereof, in the aggregate amount of the Company’s Free Cash Flow derived from the cash distribution from the Class B Subsidiary under this Section 5.1(f), less prior distributions to the Members under this Section 5.1, if any, of the Company’s Free Cash Flow derived from the cash distribution from the Class B Subsidiary for the Class B Distribution Measuring Period. The intent of this subsection (f) is that each Member shall receive a distribution of Free Cash Flow in the same amount that it would have received had the Free Cash Flow of the Company derived from the Class B Subsidiary been determined, and a distribution of the same made, immediately prior to the closing the Class B Sub Units Transfer.

Section 5.2 Liquidating Distributions.

Upon the liquidation of the Company, the assets of the Company shall be distributed in accordance with Sections 10.3 and 10.4.

Section 5.3 Amounts Withheld.

The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions, or with respect to allocations to the Members, and to pay over to any federal, state and local government, any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state or local law, and shall allocate any such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Members shall

28

be treated as amounts paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Members with respect to which such amount was withheld pursuant to this Section 5.3 for all purposes under this Agreement. In addition, the Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions any Capital Contributions made pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(iii).

Section 5.4 Assignment of Economic Interest.

(a) Foundation shall have a right to assign to third parties or Affiliates a portion of its Foundation Class A Economic Interest (and its right to receive distributions thereon pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(i) and Section 5.1(c)) with respect to one or both of the Class A Subsidiaries, and HMA L.P. shall have a right to assign to Class B Permitted Assignees a portion of its HMA Class B Economic Interest (and its right to receive distributions thereon pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii)) with respect to the Class B Subsidiary); provided that Foundation maintains a Foundation Class A Economic Interest of at least fifty percent (50.0%) in both Class A Subsidiaries and HMA L.P. maintains an HMA Class B Economic Interest of at least fifty percent (50.0%) at all times.

(b) In the event of such assignment, the assigning Member (the “Economic Interest Assignor”) shall provide the Company and the other Member written notice of the identity of the third party to which an assignment of the portion of the Foundation Class A Economic Interest or HMA Class B Economic Interest was made (each an “Economic Interest Assignee”) and the amount of the Foundation Class A Economic Interest or HMA Class B Economic Interest (the “Assigned Economic Interest”), as applicable, that was assigned to such Economic Interest Assignee (an “Assignment Notice”). Unless the Assignment Notice sets forth a specific instruction by the Economic Interest Assignor to pay distributions made under Section 5.1(b) on account of the Assigned Economic Interest directly to the Economic Interest Assignee, the Company will distribute the full amount of the distribution payable on the entire Assigned Economic Interest to the Economic Interest Assignor, and the Economic Interest Assignor will forward the amount of the distribution payable on account of the assigned portion of the Assigned Economic Interest to the Economic Interest Assignee.

(c) The Members acknowledge and agree that: (i) any assignment made under this Section 5.4 shall only apply to distributions made by the Company under Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c), 5.1(d), 5.1(e) and/or 5.1(f), as applicable; (ii) an assignment of Foundation Class A Economic Interest or HMA Class B Economic Interest under this Section 5.4 is not an assignment by Economic Interest Assignor of its Membership Interest; (iii) that no Economic Interest Assignee shall acquire the rights of a Member of the Company by reason of the assignment of a portion of the Assigned Economic Interest under this Section 5.4; and (iv) no assignment of a portion of the Foundation Class A Economic Interest or HMA Class B Economic Interest will be made if it would cause a termination of the Company pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code. Any purported assignment of a portion of the Foundation Class A Economic Interest or HMA Class B Economic Interest that is not in compliance with this Section 5.4 shall be void and will not be recognized by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, HMA L.P.’s HMA Class A Economic Interest shall at all times be equal to an amount that is no less than one percent (1.0%), so long as the Company holds an ownership interest in one or both of the Class A Subsidiaries.

(c) In the event of a deadlock on the Board of Directors with respect to any of the decisions under Section 6.1(a)(i) through 6.1(a)(vii) which involve the Class B Subsidiary only, which deadlock is not resolved within five (5) days, HMA L.P. may elect to either (i) not take the contemplated action or (ii) to take the contemplated action, in which event it will be required to deliver to Foundation a Class B Subsidiary Call Right Notice pursuant to Section 6.15 and to purchase all of Foundation’s Class B Sub Units as set forth in Section 6.15, subject to subsection (d) below.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) immediately preceding, if the Board deadlock is with respect to a decision set forth in subsection (a)(v) or (a)(vi) above, and (i) the transaction is between the Class B Subsidiary and a party who is not a Class B Permitted Assignee or (ii) HMA would maintain a Class B Economic Interest of less than fifty percent (50%) after consummation of the transaction, then HMA may not break the Board deadlock by taking the contemplated transaction.

32

(e) Subject only to the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof, the Foundation Manager may act unilaterally with respect to all matters pertaining to the Class A Subsidiaries. No action of the Board of Managers may be taken which has the effect of eliminating or modifying Foundation’s Class A Contractual Interest without the prior written consent of Foundation pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by its Board of Directors.

Section 6.2 Community Benefit Activities and Decisions.

(a) In exercising its duties hereunder, the Board of Managers will cause the Company and each Subsidiary to be operated in accordance with the Community Benefit Standard and the provisions of Section 2.6 of this Agreement.

(b) The Board of Managers shall not cause the Company or a Subsidiary to engage in any activities or take any action which is inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Foundation or Novant or would create Excess UBTI to Foundation or Novant. All Members are aware of the limitations on the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries under this Section and agree that the decision of the Board of Managers to forego an action or activity which would be inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Foundation or Novant shall not be a breach of the duty of loyalty or any other duty of the Board of Managers to the Company or its Members.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Foundation Manager shall have the right to make decisions regarding the administration of the Charity Policy, to direct the administration of the Charity Policy, and to initiate and enforce matters regarding the same, provided, however that the Foundation Manager agrees that the Charity Policy at the Class B Subsidiary will be administered by the Foundation Manager in the same manner that Novant or its Affiliates administer the charity care policy at Presbyterian Huntersville. Foundation represents and warrants to the Company and HMA L.P. that the charity care policy of Presbyterian Huntersville in effect on the date hereof is the same as the Charity Policy of the Class B Subsidiary in all material respects, except for formatting and the institutional names referenced therein. Both parties acknowledge that the application of the Charity Policy may result in expenditures that are below the Community Benefit Threshold or that exceed the Community Benefit Threshold. If expenditures in furtherance of the Community Benefit Standard are less than the Community Benefit Threshold, and Foundation makes a good-faith determination that the Community Benefit Standard is being met, Foundation will not require that the Community Benefit Threshold be met through additional expenditures. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Foundation Manager shall have the right to initiate, modify, amend, supplement and approve Community Benefit Activities which the Foundation Manager believe are necessary or appropriate to further the Community Benefit Standard, and such decision shall be within the exclusive control of the Foundation Manager. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except for changes to the Charity Policy made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.2(e), Foundation will not make any modification, amendment or supplement to the Charity Policy of the Class B Subsidiary which (i) would cause the Community Benefit Threshold to be exceeded as a result of the change; (ii) if the Community Benefit Threshold is already exceeded at the time of the change, would increase the aggregate cost or expense of charity care; or (iii) would cause or require the Class B Subsidiary to have more generous charity care requirements than exist at Presbyterian Huntersville. Except for changes to the Charity Policy made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.2(e), in no event will the Class B Subsidiary be required to make

33

expenditures in excess of the Community Benefit Threshold as a result of any modifications, amendments, or supplements to the Charity Policy of the Class B Subsidiary that the Foundation Manager makes after the date hereof. The Foundation Manager will at all times allow the Class B Subsidiary to take such actions as are necessary to comply with the Xxxxxxxx Order. Prior to taking any action pursuant to this Section with respect to the Class B Subsidiary, the Foundation Manager will consult with and seek advice from the HMA Manager and the Class B Subsidiary Manager with respect to any contemplated activities or actions, and will provide reasonably detailed information to the HMA Manager and the Class B Subsidiary Manager regarding the proposed activities or actions, and the reasons such actions or activities are to be implemented.

(d) The Foundation Manager may unilaterally amend the Charity Policy of the Company and of each Class A Subsidiary from time to time (and shall have the exclusive right to modify the same).

(e) If Foundation believes, based upon a written legal opinion of Foundation’s outside counsel that, as a result of a Change in Law, a change to the Charity Policy of the Class B Subsidiary is required in order to eliminate a material risk that Foundation’s or Novant’s participation in the Company will adversely affect its or Novant’s tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or generate Excess UBTI for Foundation or Novant, then the Foundation Manager may unilaterally amend the Charity Policy of the Class B Subsidiary. In the event that the Foundation Manager amends the Charity Policy of the Class B Subsidiary pursuant to this paragraph (e), then upon request of HMA, the Members shall attempt in good faith to restructure the manner in which the Community Benefit Activities are performed or accounted for by the Class B Subsidiary so that expenditures related to the Community Benefit Activities at the Class B Subsidiary do not exceed the Community Benefit Threshold. In the event that expenditures on Community Benefit Activities exceed the Community Benefit Threshold for any two (2) full consecutive calendar quarters following the Measuring Date, then HMA L.P. shall have a right to deliver a Class B Subsidiary Call Right Notice pursuant to Section 6.15. For purpose of this Agreement, “Measuring Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the date that the HMA Entities and the Foundation Entities adopt a restructuring plan for the administration and accounting for the Community Benefit Activities as contemplated by this Section 6.2(e) or (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days from the date that the Foundation Manager amends the Charity Policy of the Class B Subsidiary under this Section 6.2(e).

Section 6.3 Negative Covenant.

During the Restricted Period, the Board of Managers shall be prohibited from voting in favor of or causing the Company to, and the Members shall not cause or permit the Company or the Board of Managers, to take any of the following actions unless the action is approved by all of the Members:

(i) Transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s or any Class A Subsidiary’s assets, or substantially all of the Company’s interest in any Subsidiary;

(ii) merge or consolidate the Company or any Class A Subsidiary with or into another entity;

34

Furthermore, it shall not be considered a breach of fiduciary duty by any Manager for such Manager to act in accordance with Section 6.1.

(e) Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone; Proxies. Any one or more Managers may participate in a meeting of such Board of Managers by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

(a) In exercising its management duties with respect to the Class B Subsidiary, HMA L.P. and the Class B Subsidiary Manager will cause the Class B Subsidiary to be operated in accordance with the Community Benefit Standard and in the manner described in Section 2.6 of this Agreement. The Management Agreement between the Class B Subsidiary and the Class B Subsidiary Manager shall expressly provide that the Class B Subsidiary Manager shall have a duty to manage the Class B Subsidiary in accordance with (i) the purposes and in the manner described in Section 2.6 hereof including the Community Benefit Standard and (ii) the prohibitions on private inurement, private benefit, excessive lobbying expenditures and campaign activities applicable to 501(c)(3) organizations as required by, and subject to the exceptions set forth in, Section 2.6 of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, HMA L.P. will ensure that the Class B Subsidiary Manager shall not cause the Class B Subsidiary to engage in any activities or take any action which is inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Foundation or Novant, or would create Excess UBTI to Foundation or Novant. All Members are aware of the limitations on the activities of the Class B Subsidiary under this Section and agree that the

37

decision of HMA L.P., the HMA Manager, or the Class B Subsidiary Manager to forego an action or activity which would be inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Foundation shall not be a breach of the duty of loyalty or any other duty of HMA L.P., the HMA Manager or any Manager to the Class B Subsidiary, the Company or its Members.

(c) Within forty-five (45) days of the end of each fiscal year of the Company, and at other times as reasonably requested by Foundation, HMA L.P. will cause the Class B Subsidiary Manager to prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to Foundation a report detailing the Community Benefit Activities provided by and engaged in by the Class B Subsidiary. Such report shall be in such format, and such detail, as reasonably requested by Foundation.

Section 6.13 Enforcement of Community Benefit Standard.

(a) In the event the Class B Subsidiary Manager fails to timely provide the report required by Section 6.12(c) or the Class B Subsidiary Manager fails to cause the Class B Subsidiary to operate in accordance with the Community Benefit Standard, then the Foundation Manager shall notify the HMA Manager in writing of such failure which constitutes a breach of this Agreement (the “Breach Notice”). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Foundation Manager may implement the following remedies if the Class B Subsidiary Manager fails to correct the breach in all material respects within thirty (30) days of the HMA Manager’s receipt of the Breach Notice from the Foundation Manager (the “Cure Period”):

(i) The Foundation Manager shall be entitled to bring an action for injunctive relief, at law or in equity, to specifically enforce the terms and provisions being breached by the Class B Subsidiary Manager in which event the losing party will be obliged to reimburse the prevailing party for all legal fees and expenses incurred in the action;

(ii) The Class B Subsidiary Manager’s management fees shall be reduced by ten percent (10.0%) after the expiration of the Cure Period until the breach is cured in all material respects;

(iii) If the breach remains uncured in any material respect for more than ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Cure Period, then the reduction in the Class B Subsidiary Manager’s management fee shall be increased from ten percent (10.0%) to twenty-five percent (25.0%) on the ninety-first (91st) day until the breach is cured in all material respects; or

(iv) If the breach remains uncured in all material respects for one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Cure Period, or if the Class B Subsidiary Manager commits a breach described in this 6.13(a) three (3) consecutive times in a twelve (12) month period, then the Foundation Manager shall have the right to provide notice of termination of the Class B Subsidiary Manager and the Class B Subsidiary Management Agreement, which termination shall be effective not sooner than sixty (60) days following the date on which it is given; provided, however, that HMA L.P. may deliver a Class B Subsidiary Call Right Notice pursuant to Section 6.15, and the Class B Subsidiary Manager shall continue to serve as the manager of the Class B Subsidiary, subject to the fee reductions described above, until the completion of the transactions contemplated by Section 6.15. However, if HMA L.P. elects not to deliver a Class B Subsidiary Call Right Notice, or fails to purchase the Foundation Entities

38

interest in the Class B Subsidiary pursuant to Section 6.15, then the Foundation Manager shall have the right to provide notice of termination of the Class B Subsidiary Manager and the Class B Subsidiary Management Agreement, which termination shall be effective not sooner than thirty (30) days following the date on which it is given and any new manager appointed by the Class B Subsidiary must be approved by the Foundation Manager.

(b) To the extent there is a bona fide dispute as to whether the Class B Subsidiary Manager is satisfying the Community Benefit Standard with respect to the Class B Subsidiary, then the dispute shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, which shall be conducted at such place in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area as may be specified by the arbitrator (or at any place upon which Foundation, HMA L.P., and the arbitrator agree), in accordance with the Rules. The arbitrator shall be selected from a list provided by the American Health Lawyers Association Alternative Dispute Resolution Service (the “Service”) within ten (10) days after the list is provided. A decision by the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall resolve the matter and be binding on the parties. Each party will pay one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing and the fees of the arbitrator. If the arbitrator renders a decision that the Class B Subsidiary Manager is not satisfying the Community Benefit Standard, then the HMA Manager shall have thirty (30) days to correct the breach in all material respects. If the breach is not corrected in thirty (30) days, then the Foundation Manager may pursue the remedies provided in Sections 6.13(a).

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that Foundation intends to enforce the Community Benefit Standard with respect to the Class B Subsidiary with the provisions in Section 6.13(a) of this Agreement.

(d) Once the Class B Subsidiary Manager cures a breach described in Section 6.13(a), and the Manager reimburses Foundation for its legal fees any costs incurred in any action brought pursuant to Section 6.13(a)(i) or 6.13(b) to enforce this Agreement (provided Foundation is the prevailing party), in all material respects, then the Class B Subsidiary Manager’s management fee will be reset, on a prospective basis, to the fee in effect immediately prior to the written notice of the breach.

Section 6.14 Management of Subsidiaries.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Class B Subsidiary Management Agreement, the Class B Subsidiary Manager shall have complete discretion, power and authority to manage and control the business operations of the Class B Subsidiary for the period the Class B Subsidiary Management Agreement is in effect. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Class A Subsidiary Management Agreement, the Subsidiary Manager of the Class A Subsidiaries shall have complete discretion, power, and authority to manage the Class A Subsidiaries for the period the Class A Subsidiary Management Agreement is in effect.

Section 6.15 Class B Subsidiary Call Right.

At the times specified in this Agreement, HMA L.P. shall have a right or an obligation to provide the Company and Foundation with written notice (a “Class B Subsidiary Call Right Notice”) setting forth its intention to purchase all of Foundation’s Class B Sub Units. Following the delivery of a Class B Subsidiary Call Right Notice, (a) the Company will cause a distribution of the Class B Sub Units in accordance with Section 9.10, (b) HMA L.P. will be obligated to

39

purchase the Class B Sub Units distributed to Foundation in accordance with Section 9.10, and (c) Foundation will be obligated to sell such Class B Sub Units to HMA L.P., at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Class B Sub Units distributed to Foundation (except for purchases occurring pursuant to Section 9.3(c)(ii), which shall be at the purchase price specified therein).

No Member or Manager (including a Person having more than one such capacity) shall be liable to third parties for any debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company or of each other, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Member or Manager, or acting (or omitting to act) in such capacity, or participating (as an employee, consultant, contractor or otherwise) in the conduct of the business of the Company.

Section 8.2 Indemnification of Members and Managers.

The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Member and Manager and their respective heirs, beneficiaries, legal representatives, Affiliates (other than the Subsidiaries), officers, directors, attorneys and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all actual or alleged losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and/or expenses (collectively, “Damages”) of any nature whatsoever, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by a Member or Manager pursuant to authority granted by or otherwise in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any Indemnified Party if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Indemnified Party establishes, or it is established by one of the means set forth in Section 8.4, (a) that the Indemnified Party’s acts were committed in breach of this Agreement, were committed in bad faith, or were the result of willful misconduct or gross negligence, or (b) that the Indemnified Party personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such Indemnified Party was not legally entitled. Any indemnity under this Section 8.2 shall be paid out of, and to the extent of, Company assets only, including insurance proceeds if available.

Section 8.3 Advancement of Expenses.

All expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with a threatened or actual action or proceeding with respect to which such Person is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be advanced or promptly reimbursed by the Company to such Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party or on such Indemnified Party’s behalf to repay the amount of such advances, if any, as to which such Indemnified Party is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or, where indemnification is granted, to the extent such advances exceed the indemnification to which such Indemnified Party is entitled.

Section 8.4 Approval of Indemnification Payments.

Indemnification payments by the Company hereunder may be made only following a determination that the Indemnified Party did not act in breach of this Agreement, act in bad faith, or engage in willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of duty with respect to the matters in question. If a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Indemnified Party establishes that the Indemnified Party acted in breach of this Agreement, acted in bad faith,

43

or was liable or guilty by reason of willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of duty, such adjudication shall be conclusive. If there shall be no judgment or final adjudication, the determination shall be made by a written legal opinion of independent legal counsel jointly selected by Foundation and HMA, in a written opinion, or in accordance with any other reasonable procedures prescribed by the Board of Managers prior to the assertion of the claim from which such indemnification is sought.

Section 8.5 Contractual Article.

No repeal or amendment of this Article VIII, insofar as it reduces the extent of the indemnification of any Person who could be an Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of such Person, be effective as to such Person with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to the (a) date of such repeal or amendment if on that date such Person is not serving in any capacity for which such Person could be an Indemnified Party or (b) the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery to such Person of written notice of such amendment as to any capacity in which such Person is serving on the date of such repeal or amendment for which such Person could be an Indemnified Party. No amendment of the Act shall, insofar as it reduces the permissible extent of the right of indemnification of a Indemnified Party under this Article VIII, be effective as to such Indemnified Party with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment. This Article VIII shall be binding on any successor to the Company, including any limited liability company, corporation or other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to a Member or Manager under this Article VIII; and the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to Persons who are not or were not Members or Managers, employees or agents of the Company, but who are or were serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company,

44

corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of such Person’s status as such a Person to the same extent that the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to a Member or Manager under this Article VIII.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this clause (vi), in the event that Bank of America, NA, or any successor collateral agent, exercises its rights as a secured party under the Loan documents in a manner that causes, or is intended to cause, a Transfer of the HMA Partnership Interest, Foundation shall have the right to purchase the Membership Interest of HMA, L.P. hereunder for a price equal to its Fair Market Value. In the event HMA or HMA L.P. receives notice that Bank of America, N.A., or any successor collateral agent, intends to exercise its secured party rights in a manner that is intended to cause a transfer of the HMA Partnership Agreement, it shall give written notice to Foundation of the same.

In the event Foundation gives such notice, the purchase price for the aforesaid Membership Interest shall be its Fair Market Value, and the closing of the purchase shall occur within thirty (30) days of the date that the Fair Market Value of the Membership Interest is determined. At the closing, Foundation shall deliver the purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and shall receive from HMA L.P. (a) a written representation and warranty that it is delivering good title to the Membership Interest, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than those created by this Agreement); (b) the payment of all necessary transfer taxes, if any; and (c) the written resignation of the HMA Manager, the Class B Subsidiary Manager, and any other representative of HMA L.P. or HMA serving as an officer or in any other capacity.

(c) In the event of a Change of Control of HMA, HMA L.P., or any other Participant, or within eighteen (18) months following the consummation of a transaction that would have otherwise constituted a Change of Control but for the retention of HMA’s senior executive management team, upon the termination of the employment with the surviving entity or acquiring Person(s) of at least two members of HMA’s senior executive management team (the “Triggering Termination of Employment”), Foundation shall have the following rights:

(i) With respect to the Class A Subsidiaries, and without regard to whether the Restricted Period has expired, Foundation shall have a right to initiate the rights and procedures set forth in Section 9.6 by providing the Company and HMA L.P. with a Call Right Notice in the manner provided by and subject to the terms of Section 9.6. Any Call Right Notice provided by Foundation pursuant to this Section will be given within sixty (60) days following the earlier of (i) the date on which HMA provides Foundation with notice of the Change of Control or the Triggering Termination of Employment or (ii) the date on which Foundation has actual knowledge of the Change of Control or the Triggering Termination of Employment.

(ii) With respect to the Class B Subsidiary, and without regard to whether the Restricted Period has expired, Foundation shall have a right to initiate the rights and procedures set forth in this Section by providing the Company and HMA L.P. with written notice (a “Class B Change of Control Notice”).

In the event that Foundation delivers a Class B Change of Control Notice, the transaction contemplated by this Section 9.3(c)(ii) shall be consummated in accordance with Section 9.10.

Section 9.4 Agreement of Certain Transferees.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer of the Foundation Entities’ Membership Interest to a Foundation Permitted Transferee will be effective unless each such Foundation Permitted Transferee, as a precondition to the Transfer, becomes a party to this Agreement by dating and executing a copy of this Agreement and delivering it to HMA L.P. and Foundation. In such event, such Foundation Permitted Transferee will be bound, as of the date of such execution and delivery, by all of the terms and conditions hereof as they apply to the Foundation Entities.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer of the HMA Entities’ Membership Interest to any HMA Permitted Transferee will be effective unless each such HMA Permitted Transferee, as a precondition to the Transfer, becomes a party to this Agreement by dating and executing a copy of this Agreement and delivering it to HMA L.P. and Foundation. In such event, such HMA Permitted Transferee will be bound, as of the date of such execution and delivery, by all of the terms and conditions hereof as they apply to the HMA Entities.

47

Section 9.5 Right of First Refusal; Other Repurchase Events.

(a) If a Member (the “Member Transferring Membership Interest”) wishes to Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Membership Interest at any time following expiration of the Restricted Period in a bona fide transaction with a Person which is not, both immediately before and immediately after such Transfer, an Affiliate directly or indirectly wholly owned or controlled by such Member, then the Member Transferring Membership Interest will first give to the other Member (the “Member Acquiring Membership Interest”) notice of such intention (the “Offering Notice”). The Offering Notice will state the name of the proposed transferee and all of the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, and will constitute the Member Transferring Membership Interest’s offer to sell all of its Membership Interest to the Member Acquiring Membership Interest as provided by this Section 9.5. Upon receipt of the Offering Notice, the Member Acquiring Membership Interest will then have the option, exercisable by notice given to the Member Transferring Membership Interest within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Member Acquiring Membership Interest received the Offering Notice, to purchase all of the Membership Interest of the Member Transferring Membership Interest at the bona fide purchase price offered by the proposed transferee and stated in the Offering Notice (the “First Refusal Purchase Price”), and on the same terms and conditions stated in the Offering Notice; provided, however, the closing of said purchase shall occur at the time specified in Section 9.5(d). If, upon the expiration of the Member Acquiring Membership Interest’s thirty (30) day option period, the Member Acquiring Membership Interest has not exercised such option by purchasing all of the Membership Interest of the Member Transferring Membership Interest, then the Member Transferring Membership Interest will be free to Transfer all (but not less than all) of its Membership Interest, but only: (a) to the same transferee stated in its Offering Notice; (b) upon terms and conditions no more favorable to transferee than those stated in its Offering Notice; and (c) after compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.5. Such Transfer must be completed within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Member Acquiring Membership Interest’s thirty (30) day option period, and if it is not so completed, then the Membership Interest of the Member Transferring Membership Interest will again be restricted by, and may not be Transferred without full compliance with, the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 9.5.

(b) If: (i) voluntary proceedings by any Member are commenced under any provision of any federal or state act relating to bankruptcy or insolvency (or, in the case of HMA L.P., such proceedings are commenced against HMA, or, in the case of Foundation, such proceedings are commenced against Novant); or (ii) involuntary proceedings are commenced against any Member (or, in the case of HMA L.P., are commenced against HMA or, in the case of Foundation, such proceedings are commenced against Novant) under any provision of any federal or state act relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, and such proceedings are not stayed or dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days after commencement; or (iii) any Encumbrance on any Membership Interest of any Member is noticed for foreclosure, the Membership Interest is scheduled, intended, or proposed to be sold or transferred in any manner as a consequence of the Encumbrance, or is otherwise realized upon; or (iv) any judgment is obtained in any legal or equitable proceeding against any Member and the Transfer of any of its Membership Interest is contemplated under legal process as a result of such judgment; or (v) pursuant to any other form

48

of legal or equitable proceeding or process any Membership Interest of any Member is contemplated to be sold or otherwise Transferred either voluntarily or involuntarily; (vi) exclusion of any Member (or, in the case of HMA L.P., exclusion of HMA or, in the case of Foundation, exclusion of Novant) from participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs; or (vii) any Member (or, in the case of HMA L.P., HMA or, in the case of Foundation, Novant) is convicted of felony criminal charges (each, a “Disposition Event”); then such Member (the “Disposing Member”) will automatically be deemed to have offered, as of the day preceding the date of the Disposition Event, all of its Membership Interest for sale to the other Member (the “Acquiring Member”). The Acquiring Member will have the option, exercisable by notice given to the Disposing Member within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Acquiring Member received notice of the Disposition Event, to require the Disposing Member to sell to the Acquiring Member all of the Disposing Member’s Membership Interest at the Fair Market Value of such Membership Interest, determined as of the date of the Disposition Event. In such case, the closing of the sale shall occur at a time specified in Section 9.5(d). If, upon the expiration of the Acquiring Member’s thirty (30) day option period, the Acquiring Member has not exercised such option to purchase all of the Disposing Member’s Membership Interest, and if the Disposing Member is required to Transfer any of its Membership Interest in connection with the Disposition Event, then the Disposing Member may Transfer its Membership Interest as is necessary to satisfy its obligations arising out of the Disposition Event, but only after compliance with the provisions of Section 9.5(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Disposition Event occurs with respect to Foundation or Novant and HMA L.P. elects to acquire Foundation’s Membership Interest under this Section 9.5(b), Foundation shall have a right, for a period of thirty (30) days after HMA L.P. provides notice under this Section 9.5(b), to initiate the rights and procedures under Section 9.6 regardless of whether the Restricted Period has expired, in which case the Fair Market Value of Foundation’s Membership Interest being purchased by HMA L.P. under this Section 9.5 shall exclude the Fair Market Value of the Class A Subsidiaries. In the event that the transactions contemplated under this Section 9.5(b) are consummated prior to closing the transactions contemplated under Section 9.6, the Company’s, Foundation’s and HMA L.P.’s rights and obligations under this Section 9.5(b) and Section 9.6 shall continue until the transaction under Section 9.6 is completed.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer of any Member’s Membership Interest to a Person other than the other Member will be effective unless each such transferee, as a precondition to the Transfer, becomes a party to this Agreement by dating and executing a copy of this Agreement and delivering it to HMA L.P. and Foundation. In such event, such Person will be bound, as of the date of such execution and delivery, by all of the terms and conditions hereof as they apply to the Member whose Membership Interest have been transferred.

(d) The closing of the purchase of Membership Interest under this Section 9.5 will occur at a place and time selected by the Member purchasing the Membership Interest; provided, however, the closing shall occur within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date the purchasing Member exercised its option to purchase the Membership Interest. At such closing, the Member purchasing the Membership Interest will deliver to the Member Transferring such Membership Interest the price as determined herein, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, against delivery by the Member Transferring such Membership Interest of: (a) a written representation and warranty of such Member to the other Member that such Person has and is delivering good title to all of the Membership Interest, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than those

49

created by this Agreement); (b) the payment of all necessary transfer taxes, if any; and (c) the written resignation of the Manager appointed by the Member Transferring such Membership Interest and of all representatives of such Member serving as an officer or, in any other capacity, of a Subsidiary.

(e) The right of first refusal and sale process described in the preceding provisions of this Section 9.5 shall apply equally to proposed transfers by HMA or its Affiliates of an HMA Partnership Interest not permitted by Section 9.3(b), and upon a proposed transfer of such HMA Partnership Interest, Foundation shall have the same right of first refusal that it has with respect to transfers by HMA L.P. of its Membership Interest in the Company.

(f) In the event that Louisburg is excluded from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid Programs as a result of the alleged failure of Louisburg to meet certain conditions to participation as set forth in that certain letter dated March 17, 2008 addressed to Franklin Regional Medical Center from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (the “March 17 Letter”), then Foundation shall have the right to initiate the rights and procedures under this Section 9.5(f) by giving written notice to HMA L.P. within thirty (30) days after the date on which Louisburg is excluded from participation in the Medicare or Medicaid Programs (such notice being a “Louisburg Repurchase Triggering Notice”). Following the submission of a Louisburg Repurchase Triggering Notice to HMA L.P., the Company will distribute ninety-nine percent (99.0%) of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of Louisburg to Foundation and one percent (1.0%) of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of Louisburg to HMA L.P. (collectively, the “Louisburg Units”). Following the distribution of the Louisburg Units to HMA L.P. and Foundation, HMA L.P. shall be obligated to repurchase the Louisburg Units distributed to Foundation at an aggregate purchase price of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), which shall be paid in immediately available funds upon closing. The closing of the purchase of Louisburg Units by HMA L.P. under this Section 9.5(f) shall occur within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Louisburg Repurchase Triggering Notice is given.

Section 9.6 Class A Subsidiary Call Right.

At any time following expiration of the Restricted Period, Foundation shall have a right to initiate the rights and procedures set forth in this Section 9.6 by providing the Company and HMA L.P. with written notice (a “Call Right Notice”). Promptly (but in no event more than forty-five (45) days) following the receipt by the Company of a Call Right Notice, the Company will distribute ninety-nine percent (99.0%) of the issued and outstanding Class A Sub Units to Foundation and one percent (1.0%) of the issued and outstanding Class A Sub Units to HMA L.P. Following the distribution of the Class A Sub Units to Foundation and HMA L.P., Foundation shall be obligated to purchase the Class A Sub Units distributed to HMA L.P., and HMA L.P. shall be obligated to sell to Foundation the Class A Sub Units so distributed. The sale will be completed in accordance with the Class A Sub Unit Transfer provisions described in Section 9.9.

Section 9.7 Class A Subsidiary Redemption Right.

At any time following expiration of the Restricted Period, HMA L.P. shall have a right to initiate the rights and procedures set forth in this Section 9.7 by providing the Company and Foundation with written notice (a “Class A Sub Redemption Notice”). Promptly (but in no event

50

more than forty-five (45) days) following the receipt by the Company of a Class A Sub Redemption Notice, the Company will distribute ninety-nine percent (99.0%) of the issued and outstanding Class A Sub Units to Foundation and one percent (1.0%) of the issued and outstanding Class A Sub Units to HMA L.P. Following the distribution of the Class A Sub Units to Foundation and HMA L.P., Foundation shall be obligated to purchase the Class A Sub Units distributed to HMA L.P., and HMA L.P. shall be obligated to sell to Foundation the Class A Sub Units so distributed. The sale will be completed in accordance with the Class A Sub Unit Transfer provisions described in Section 9.9.

Section 9.8 Fair Market Value.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” means fair market value as determined by one mutually agreed upon independent Qualified Appraiser. If the parties are unable to agree upon a single Qualified Appraiser within ten (10) days, then each party will select a Qualified Appraiser, and the two Qualified Appraisers so selected shall mutually agree upon a third Qualified Appraiser. The Qualified Appraiser(s) shall determine the Fair Market Value of an interest in the Company, a Subsidiary, or the Class A Sub Units or Class B Sub Units, as applicable, assuming a transaction between a willing buyer and willing seller in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite for a fair sale in which neither party is under abnormal pressure and in which both parties have full knowledge of all the relevant facts, and in its valuation of the Class B Sub Units, the Qualified Appraiser will treat any indebtedness owed by the Class B Subsidiary to HMA or an HMA Affiliate as working capital of the Class B Subsidiary. In performing its valuation, the Qualified Appraiser(s) will each interview both Members regarding the background and future prospects of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary. The value of an interest in the Company or a Subsidiary will be determined with no discounts for minority interest, lack of marketability or other similar discounts. In determining the value of any party’s Class A Sub Units, the value of the Youngsville Hospital and the Youngsville Operations, if any, will be disregarded. In the event there is more than one Qualified Appraiser and such Qualified Appraisers are unable to agree upon Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days after their engagement, Fair Market Value shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Section 9.8(b) below. The cost and expense of such Qualified Appraiser(s) shall be borne equally by HMA L.P. and Foundation.

(b) Arbitration shall be by a single arbitrator experienced in the matters at issue and selected by HMA L.P. and Foundation in accordance with the American Health Lawyers Association Alternative Dispute Resolution Service Rules of Procedure for Arbitration (the “Rules”). The arbitrator shall be selected from a list provided by the American Health Lawyers Association Alternative Dispute Resolution Service. The arbitration shall be held in such place in the Atlanta metropolitan area as may be specified by the arbitrator (or any place upon which Foundation, HMA L.P. and the arbitrator may agree), and shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules and (regardless of any other choice of law provision in this Agreement) the United States Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and final and binding as to any matters submitted; and, if necessary, any decision may be entered in any court of record having jurisdiction over the subject matter or over the party against whom the judgment is being enforced. The cost and expense of the arbitration shall be borne equally by HMA L.P. and Foundation.

Section 9.9 Procedures for Transferring HMA L.P.’s Class A Sub Units to Foundation.

(a) In the event that HMA L.P.’s Class A Sub Units are required to be transferred to Foundation pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 2.7, 9.6 or 9.7, Foundation and HMA L.P. shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 9.9 with respect to the sale. The closing of the sale will occur within ten (10) business days following the date on which all Governmental Authorizations required for the transfer of the Class A Sub Units from HMA L.P. to Foundation have been obtained; provided, however, that if Foundation is making a cash payment to HMA L.P. in accordance with the subsequent provisions of this Section 9.9, the closing shall occur ten (10) days following the later of (a) the date the Fair Market Value of the Class A Sub Units is determined in accordance with Section 9.8, and (b) the date on which all Governmental Authorizations required for the transfer of the Class A Sub Units from HMA L.P. to Foundation has been obtained. At the closing, if it has not already done so, the Company will, irrespective of the Members’ respective Percentage Interests at the time of the Closing, distribute ninety-nine percent (99.0%) of the Class A Sub Units to Foundation and one percent (1.0%) of the Class A Sub Units to HMA L.P. On the closing date, HMA L.P. shall transfer all of its Class A Sub Units to Foundation (the “Class A Sub Unit Transfer”). In consideration therefor, Foundation shall cause Louisburg to transfer the Youngsville Property to HMA L.P., or to an Affiliate of HMA L.P. designated by HMA, provided the Youngsville Property is then owned by Louisburg and all Governmental Authorizations for the transfer of the Youngsville Property have been obtained. In the event the Youngsville Property is owned by Louisburg and Governmental Authorizations for its transfer have been obtained by the closing date, at the closing of the Class A Sub Unit Transfer, HMA will deliver the following to Foundation: (i) a written warranty and representation that it has and is delivering good title to all of its Class A Sub Units, free and clear of all Encumbrances; (ii) any certificates representing the Class A Sub Units, duly endorsed for transfer and with all necessary transfer taxes, if any, paid (or an assignment of the Class A Sub Units if the same are not certificated); and (iii) the written resignation of all representatives of HMA L.P. serving as a Manager, office, in any other capacity, of the Class A Subsidiaries. At the closing of the Class A Sub Unit Transfer, Foundation and Louisburg will deliver to HMA L.P., or an Affiliate of HMA L.P. designated by HMA, (x) a special warranty deed, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit VII conveying good and marketable title to the Youngsville Property (the “Youngsville Deed”), and (y) a transfer agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit VIII duly executed and delivered by the transferor of the Youngsville property (the “Transfer Agreement”). In connection with the Class A Sub Unit Transfer, the Company will make a cash distribution as set forth in Section 5.1(e).

(b) In the event Louisburg owns the Youngsville Property on the closing date but all necessary Governmental Authorizations for the transfer of the Youngsville Property to HMA L.P. have not been obtained by the closing date, the closing shall be delayed for a period of up to ninety (90) days, and shall occur within three (3) business days following the date on which all necessary Governmental Authorizations for the transfer of the Youngsville Property to HMA L.P. have been obtained. If, following the conclusion of such ninety (90) day period, all necessary Governmental Authorizations for the transfer of the Youngsville Property to HMA L.P. have not been obtained, the closing of the Class A Sub Unit Transfer will not be further postponed but at such closing HMA L.P. may elect to receive either (i) a cash payment in an amount equal to the fair market value, as of the closing date, of the Class A Sub Units transferred

52

by HMA L.P. to Foundation, or (ii) a binding definitive agreement duly executed by Foundation and Louisburg, in a form mutually acceptable to Foundation and HMA L.P., providing for: (x) Foundation and Louisburg to transfer the Youngsville Property to HMA L.P. or its Affiliate designee on the date on which all Governmental Authorizations pertaining to the transfer have been obtained; (y) the delivery to HMA L.P., or its Affiliate designee, within three (3) days following the date on which Governmental Approvals for the transfer of the Youngsville Property are obtained, of the Youngsville Deed and the Transfer Agreement, each duly executed and delivered by the transferor of the Youngsville property; and (z) in the event HMA does not elect to receive Alternative Assets pursuant to Section 9.9(f) below and has not received the Youngsville Property, Foundation to make a cash payment to HMA L.P. in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Class A Sub Units transferred, as of the date on which the Class A Sub Units are transferred by HMA L.P. to Foundation, in the event a final, non-appealable determination is issued that Governmental Approvals for the transfer of the Youngsville Property cannot be obtained.

(c) If the Youngsville Property is transferred to HMA L.P. or its Affiliate designee under the preceding provisions of this Section 9.9, on the date of the transfer of the Youngsville Property, Louisburg on the one hand, and HMA L.P. or an Affiliate of HMA L.P. designated by HMA to receive the property, on the other hand, shall enter into a ground lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit IX with respect to the Youngsville Property for a fifteen (15) year term with renewal rights and an option to purchase at the end of the original and any renewal term, at fair market value rates, and on market terms and conditions, without taking into account the existence of value of any improvements paid for by the Company or any of its Affiliates that may then be located on the Youngsville Property. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this paragraph (c), Foundation may elect, by written notice to HMA, to not enter into the aforesaid ground lease in the event that all Governmental Authorizations required for the development of a Youngsville Property have not been obtained on the date of transfer of the Youngsville Property.

(d) Subject to Section 9.9(f), in the event the Youngsville Property is not owned by Louisburg on the date of closing, Foundation shall make a cash payment to HMA L.P. at the closing of the Class A Sub Unit Transfer in an amount equal to the fair market value, as of that date, of the Class A Sub Units transferred by HMA L.P. to Foundation.

(e) In connection with any transfer of the Youngsville Property to HMA L.P. or its Affiliates in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including pursuant to Sections 2.7(c), 9.3(c), 9.6 or 9.7), the parties agree to work in good faith, cooperate and assist each other in all reasonable respects, and use all commercially reasonable efforts, including the expenditure of any necessary amounts and the filing of any permissible appeals or administrative remedies, to consummate such transfer to HMA L.P., including any cooperation, assistance and efforts necessary or desirable to obtain as promptly as practicable all Governmental Authorizations from any necessary Governmental Entity.

(f) In connection with a Class A Sub Unit Transfer, if a final, non-appealable determination is issued that Governmental Approvals for the transfer of the Youngsville Property to HMA L.P. cannot be obtained or if HMA L.P. determines in its reasonable discretion that the Youngsville Property cannot be transferred to HMA L.P. for any reason, at HMA L.P.’s request, the parties will negotiate and discuss in good faith alternative arrangement which may include

53

the transfer to HMA L.P. or its Affiliate designee of different assets (“Alternate Assets”) (in lieu of cash or the Youngsville Property) in connection with the transfer to Foundation of HMA L.P.’s Class A Sub Units. Any such transfer of Alternate Assets must comply with applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties expressly agree and acknowledge that HMA L.P. and its Affiliates will not under any circumstances be required to receive cash in connection with a Class A Sub Unit Transfer and may instead elect to proceed pursuant to this Section 9.9(f) and enforce its provisions pursuant to Section 12.12 hereof. HMA L.P. will pay Foundation the amount by which the cost of Alternative Assets exceeds the Fair Market Value of the Class A Sub Units which HMA transfers to Foundation on the closing date of the Class A Sub Unit Transfer, and will reimburse Foundation for its costs and expenses (including its reasonable attorney fees) in connection with pursuing the Alternate Assets arrangement, including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees in purchasing the Alternate Assets and transferring them to HMA L.P. Said payment will be made at the closing the Alternate Asset arrangement.

Section 9.10 Procedures for Transferring Class B Sub Units.

In the event that HMA L.P. and Foundation initiate their respective rights to cause a transfer of the Class B Sub Units under Section 2.7, 2.12, 6.13, 6.15, 9.3(c)(ii) or any other provision hereof (a “Class B Sub Unit Transaction”), the Company, the party purchasing the Class B Sub Units in the Class B Sub Unit Transaction (the “Purchasing Party”) and the party Selling the Class B Sub Units in the Class B Sub Unit Transaction (the “Selling Party”) shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 9.10. The closing of the Class B Sub Unit Transaction will occur within ten (10) business days following the later of (a) one hundred twenty (120) days from the date on which the Fair Market Value of the Class B Sub Units is determined in accordance with Section 9.8 and (b) the date on which all Governmental Approvals required for the transfer of the Class B Sub Units in the Class B Sub Unit Transaction have been obtained. In connection with the Class B Sub Unit Transaction, the Company will make a cash distribution as set forth in Section 5.1(f). At the closing of the Class B Sub Unit Transaction: (A) the Company, regardless of the Member’s respective Percentage Interests at the time of closing the Class B Sub Unit Transaction, will distribute thirty percent (30.0%) of the Class B Sub Units to Foundation and seventy percent (70.0%) of the Class B Sub Units to HMA L.P.; (B) the Selling Party will deliver the following to the Purchasing Party: (x) a written representation and warranty that it has and is delivering good title to all of its Class B Sub Units, free and clear of all Encumbrances, (y) any certificates representing its Class B Sub Units, duly endorsed for transfer and with all necessary transfer taxes, if any, paid (or an assignment of the Class B Sub Units if the same are not certificated) and (z) the written resignation of all representatives of the Selling Party serving as an director, officer or, in any other capacity, of the Class B Subsidiary; and (C) the Purchasing Party will deliver to the Selling Party the applicable purchase price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

EXHIBIT III

Charity Care Policy

The Subsidiaries will provide charity care (financial assistance) to low-income uninsured patients. This service, along with other community benefit services, is essential to the Company’s mission fulfillment.

The purpose of this policy is to identify circumstances in which a Subsidiary may provide care at no cost to the patient commensurate with the patient’s ability to pay for services rendered. This includes a patient whose financial status makes it impractical or impossible to pay for medically necessary services.

1. Eligibility Criteria. Eligibility criteria will be based upon the Federal Poverty Guidelines and will be updated annually in conjunction with published updates by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Individuals who are uninsured and unable to access entitlement programs shall be eligible for full charity care based on established criteria.

2. Full Charity Care. The basic standard for a full charity care write-off shall be patient annual family income that is less than or equal to 300% of the available current year Federal Poverty Guidelines.

3. For Uninsured Patients Who Do Not Quality for Full Charity Care:

a. All uninsured patients who do not quality for Full Charity Care, and who receive nonelective treatment at a Subsidiary, will be offered discount rates equal to the average managed care discounted price at that Subsidiary, a term that will be referred to as the “Average Managed Care Discount” (“AMCD”). The AMCD will never be at a discount level lower than 40%.

b. In non-emergency situations, every uninsured patient who does not quality for Full Charity Care will be told the estimated average charges, as discounted, for anticipated services. In emergency situations, this will be done as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

4. Financial Counseling. The Subsidiaries will provide financial counseling free of charge to all patients seeking treatment at the Subsidiary. Financial counseling for uninsured patients will include information concerning their right and duty to apply for financial assistance and charity care programs; their right to be referred to a designated employee or contract agent charged with responsibility for financial counseling regarding applying for financial assistance programs; the estimated average potential financial obligations they may incur; their right to settle their accounts through a schedule of regular payments if determined ineligible for government health care programs, charity care or other financial assistance; and their right to a determination on the financial assistance application as soon as reasonably possible following the submission of a completed application.

5. Access. All patients will be offered the opportunity to apply for charity care.

6. Written Application. A written financial assistance application providing all supporting data required to verify charity care eligibility will be maintained. Individuals applying for charity care should not have insurance coverage, Medicaid coverage, or exceed certain Federal Poverty thresholds.

7. Applicants for Financial Assistance. The Subsidiary may xxxx but will refrain from attempting to collect fees from a patient who has applied for financial assistance and submitted all of the required documentation, while an eligibility determination on the patient’s completed application is pending. Further, the Subsidiary will suspend any collection actions under way once a completed application for financial assistance is filed.

8. Time Requirements for Charity Determination. While it is desirable to determine the amount of charity for which a patient is eligible as close to the time of service as possible, there is no rigid limit in the time frame for charity determination. In some cases eligibility is readily apparent and a determination can be made before, on, or soon after the date of service. In other cases, a more thorough investigation may be necessary to determine eligibility (particularly when the patient has limited information or is unwilling to provide needed information).

9. Notification. Once an eligibility determination has been made, a notification form will be sent to each applicant advising them of the Subsidiary’s decision. If the patient meets eligibility requirements, they will be designated as eligible to receive Full Charity Care.

10. Payment Terms. The Subsidiary will offer reasonable payment terms and simple, flexible payment schedules to all uninsured patients whose balance is in excess of $1,000.

11. Collection Policy. The Subsidiary will follow a written uniform collection policy, and shall follow established criteria prior to initiating litigation to collect on an uninsured patient’s account.

12. Collection Agency. If a collection agency identifies a patient meeting the charity care eligibility criteria, the patient account may be considered charity care, even if the account was originally classified as a bad debt. Collection agency patient accounts meeting charity care criteria should be returned to the Subsidiary’s billing office and reviewed for charity care eligibility.

13. Eligibility Period. The charity care eligibility period is six months from the date of the initial eligibility determination, unless over the course of that six month period the patient’s family income or insurance status changes to such an extent that the patient becomes ineligible.

14. Homeless Patients. Patients without a payment source may be classified as charity if they do not have a job, mailing address, residence, or insurance. Consideration must also be given to patients who do not provide adequate information as to their financial status.

15. Special Circumstances. Deceased patients without an estate or third party coverage will be eligible for charity. Patients who are in bankruptcy may also be eligible for charity.

16. Authorization for Charity Adjustments. The Subsidiary’s chief financial officer is required to approve all charity care adjustments.

17. Confidentiality. Confidentiality of information and individual dignity will be maintained for all who seek charitable services. The handling of personal health information will meet HIPAA requirements.

18. Record Keeping. Records relating to potential charity care patients must be readily obtained. Consideration should be given to maintaining a central repository such as a document imaging system containing the patient’s financial condition and the charity care recommendation summary forms.

19. Public Notice and Posting. The Subsidiary will make available to the public the assistance provided in this policy through various channels. These include but are not limited to: posting notices in a visible manner in locations with the high patient volume; providing information in statements sent to uninsured patients; posting information on the Subsidiary’s web site; and provided patients with guidelines outlining the types of financial assistance available.

c. After exercising due diligence, the Board or committee shall determine whether the Company can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest.

d. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the Board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors or committee members whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Company’s best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.

4. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy

a. If the Board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a Member, an Affiliate of a Member, an officer or a member of the Board of Directors of the Company has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall inform the Person of the basis for such belief and afford the Person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.

EXHIBIT V

Catastrophic Discount Policy

I. SCOPE / PURPOSE

The Subsidiaries acknowledge that we serve patients who may or may not currently have insurance coverage and who do not qualify for their charity policy but remain unable to pay the full cost of their medical care.

The purpose of this policy is to identify circumstances in which the Subsidiaries may assist patients with meeting their financial obligations in a fair and equitable manner. We realize that out-of-pocket expenses continue to increase and we want to ensure a fair and consistent process to accommodate our patient’s financial needs. We are committed to establishing the appropriate guidelines and procedures for communicating our assistance guidelines to our patients, their families and our staff. Our goal is to educate our staff so they can better assist patients who are struggling to pay their bills.

II. POLICY

A Catastrophic Discount will be given to uninsured patients or those covered by insurance whose outstanding patient balance places an unreasonable hardship in relationship to their financial resources based on established criteria.

Confidentiality of information and individual dignity will be maintained for all patients who seek discounts for our services. The handling of personal health information will meet HIPAA requirements.

Eligibility Criteria – individuals considered for this program must meet all of the following criteria:

A. The remaining account balance after insurance payments must be at least $5,000.

B. The account has received the expected payment from the insurance company (if applicable).

C. The patient or responsible party does not have to be a State resident or U.S. citizen.

D. The patient or responsible party will receive and must complete a written financial assistance application and provide all supporting data required to verify eligibility.

E. The individual does not meet charity care requirements.

F. Discounts will apply to only medically necessary services. Elective procedures or those not normally covered by insurance (plastic surgery, elective gastric bypass) will not be eligible for this assistance.

G. Any account that has been submitted to bad debt for collection purposes will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

H. The discounted amounts will be individualized based upon available financial resources.

I. Potential outcomes will include full payment, full write-off, and/or partial write-off with agreed-upon payment plan.

J. Failure by the patient or responsible party to meet the obligations of the contract within the agreed upon time frame will result in further collection action up to and including referral to a collection agency. This action recognizes that some patients have appropriate financial resources and that payment of their bills is an important obligation.

1. System Requirements

A. Upon approval, a discount will be applied manually to the patient’s account utilizing a specific adjustment code.

EXCLUSIONS: This policy only applies to services rendered at the Subsidiaries facilities and does not apply to services rendered at affiliated physician practices or by any independent physicians or practitioners. This policy also does not apply to services provided within or outside the hospital/facility by physicians or other healthcare providers including but not limited to Anesthesiologists, Radiologists, and/or Pathologists, who are not employed by the Subsidiaries.

3. Investigations.

During the Investigation Period (as hereinafter defined), Grantee shall have the right to investigate various aspects relating to and various conditions affecting the Premises and to obtain certain information relating to the Premises including:

(a) Environmental Study and Information. The receipt by Grantee of results satisfactory to Grantee of a Phase I environmental study on the Premises conducted by an environmental audit firm chosen by Grantee and any such additional and further environmental studies, tests and investigations as may be desired by Grantee (collectively, the “Environmental Information”).

(b) Grantor’s Title. The verification of Grantor’s good and marketable title to the Premises. It is understood that the state of Grantor’s title will be verified during the Investigation Period (as hereinafter defined) and again prior to Closing in accordance with the terms of Section 6 below.

Should Grantee raise a written objection which renders title unmarketable, Grantor shall cause the curing of such objection which may be cured by the procurement, prior to Closing, of a commitment for fee title insurance at standard rates for an amount reasonably determined by Grantee, to insure marketability of title against the objections raised, or such other title insurance as is reasonably acceptable to Grantee.

Grantor shall have an affirmative duty and a reasonable period of time to cure any Title Defects following Grantee’s notification to Grantor of same but in no event more than thirty (30) days after notification of same is received by Grantor. At or prior to closing, Grantor will cure or otherwise resolve (including, at Grantor’s option, through the acquisition of title insurance insuring Grantee at Grantor’s expense) all Title Defects to Grantee’s reasonable satisfaction, and will take reasonable steps, mutually acceptable to Grantor and Grantee, to remediate any Environmental Defects. In the event Grantor is not able to resolve Title Defects and Environmental Defects in accordance with the preceding sentence, the transfer contemplated hereunder shall not occur, and in lieu of transfer of the Premises, Grantor shall make a cash payment to Grantee in accordance with the terms of Section 9.9(d) of the LLC Operating Agreement subject to Grantee’s (or its affiliate’s) unilateral right to elect not to receive cash and instead initiate the process set forth in Section 9.9(f) of the LLC Operating Agreement.

(f) Information. Within five (5) days of the Effective Date, Grantor shall provide Grantee with copies of any and all surveys, title reports, site plans, engineering reports, governmental reports and notices, geotechnical soil studies, building plans, notices, leases, restrictive easements and covenants, environmental studies, reports, agreements, and any other materials and documents relating to the Premises that are in Grantor’s possession or control.

As used in this Lease, “Term” shall refer to the initial fifteen (15) year term of this Lease.

Tenant may, at its option and subject to the conditions herein stated, extend the original Term of this Ground Lease for two (2) additional periods of fifteen (15) years each, subject to all the provisions of this Lease, including provisions for adjustments to the rent. Each additional fifteen (15) year period in effect hereunder shall be referred to as an “Extended Term.” The “Expiration Date,” as used herein, shall be deemed extended, to the extent applicable, to the last date of the Extended Term of this Lease. Tenant’s right to exercise such option is subject to the following conditions precedent:

(a) Ground Lease in Effect. The Ground Lease shall be in effect at the time notice of exercise is given and on the last day of the Term.

Without limiting Tenant’s curing rights hereunder, to the extent applicable, no uncured event of default shall exist under any provision of this Ground Lease at the time notice is given or during the period from exercise of the notice through and including the last day of the then current Term, or as of the first day of the Extended Term. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of Section 2.2 or this Section 2.3, in the event Tenant has given written notice to Landlord exercising the option to extend the Lease, and there is an uncured event of default but the period to cure the same has not ended on the date of the expiration date of the Initial Term or any Extended Term, as applicable, the Term of the Lease shall automatically extend until the end of the cure period; and if the uncured event of default is cured by the end of the cure period, Tenant’s notice to extend the Lease for the Extended Term shall be effective and the Term of the Lease shall be extended for the Extended Term.

(c) Exercise Notice. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord irrevocably exercising the option on or before six (6) months prior to expiration of the Term or the Extended Term as the case may be.

2.4 Reversion at Expiration Date at End of Term.

At the Expiration Date at the end of the Term (as the same may be extended by the Extended Term), the Ground Leased Premises and any other improvements upon the Ground Leased Premises, shall, without compensation to Tenant or any other party, then become the sole property of Landlord or Landlord’s designee as the case may be. Such Ground Leased Premises and all other improvements shall be free and clear of all claims to or against them by Tenant or any third person, and all liens, security interests, and encumbrances, other than the encumbrances set forth in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Permitted Encumbrances”) and any other encumbrances or liens expressly permitted hereunder or agreed to by Landlord, and Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord against all liability and loss, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs through litigation and all appeals, arising from such claims, liens, security interests and encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) incurred or imposed, as a result of Tenant’s actions or omissions or those of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or representatives, and from Landlord’s exercise of the rights conferred by this section.

ARTICLE III

RENT, TAXES AND UTILITIES

3.1 Base Annual Rent.

The Base Annual Rent shall be a sum equal to the fair market rental value of the Ground Leased Premises. Such Base Annual Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments to Landlord at the address set forth herein or as otherwise directed by Landlord in writing. As used herein, the term “fair market rental value of the Ground Leased Premises” shall mean the annual rental value of the Land only which is included in the Ground Leased Premises and determined as if such land was vacant and unimproved. No consideration shall be given, in determining such appraised fair market rental value, to any buildings or improvements located on such Land or to any governmental approvals (such as a certificate of need issued by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services) required to develop a health care facility on the Ground Leased Premises. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (or sooner if reasonably possible) and within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any Extended Term, Landlord and Tenant shall agree as to what the fair market rental value of the Ground Leased Premises is at the time and, based upon such determination, the Base Annual Rent shall be set or adjusted, as applicable, to such fair market rental value. The determination shall also include a determination of a periodic (no more frequently than annually) escalation of such Base Annual Rent. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay such Base Annual Rent in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month during the balance of the initial Term (or the Extended Term as the case may be). In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot agree to a fair market rental value within such thirty (30) day time period after the Effective Date or the commencement date of any Extended Term, the fair market rental value shall be established by the median value (as specified below) taken from three independent appraisals. Each party shall, within ten (10) days after the parties fail to agree upon the fair market rental value, choose a qualified commercial MAI real estate appraiser with experience in valuing commercial real estate situated in Franklin County or Wake County, North Carolina. Landlord and Tenant shall each notify the other of its chosen appraiser within such ten (10) day period. The two appraisers shall within ten (10) days after his or her selection, jointly choose a similarly qualified third appraiser and the three appraisers shall each, within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third appraiser, conduct and conclude an independent appraisal of the Ground Leased Premises to determine fair market rental value. If either party fails to choose an appraiser in a timely manner, or if either appraiser fails to submit his or her report within thirty (30) days after his or her selection, the other party’s appraisal shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties even if the third party appraiser submits his or her report. Unless the preceding sentence is applicable, the median value taken from the three appraisers shall be determined by disregarding the highest and lowest of the three appraisals so obtained, and shall be conclusively determined to be the basis for determining the fair market rental value of the Ground Leased Premises. Each party shall pay for its own appraisal and share equally the cost of the third appraisal. The determination of such fair market rental value by appraisal shall be the basis for determining the Base Annual Rent for the initial Term or the Extended Term as the case may be.

3.2 Computation and Payment of Rental.

If the period for the original Term or the Extended Term does not commence or terminate on the first day of the month, the first and last monthly payments for such Term shall be computed by multiplying a full month’s rent by the ratio which the number of days of occupancy or use bears to the total number of days in such months. All rental payments shall be made, without notice or demand, to Landlord at                                                                                                       , or to such other person, firm, or corporation at such other address as Landlord may designate by notice in writing to Tenant. Tenant shall pay interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum on all amounts hereunder which are not paid within ten (10) days of when due.

3.3 Taxes.

(a) Real and Personal Property. From and after the Commencement Date of this Lease, Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid, without abatement, deduction, or offset, the following items: All real and personal property taxes, general and special assessments, and all other charges, assessments and taxes of every description, levied on or assessed against the Ground Leased Premises and any other improvements located or constructed on the Ground Leased Premises; personal property located on or in the Ground Leased Premises, any improvements; the leasehold estate, or any subleasehold estate, to the full extent of installments assessed during the Term. Taxes for years including the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date shall be prorated. Tenant shall make all such payments directly to the appropriate charging or taxing authority at least fifteen (15) days before delinquency and before any fine, interest, or penalty shall become due or be imposed by operation of law for their nonpayment. However, if the law expressly permits the payment of any or all of the above items in installments (whether or not interest accrues on the unpaid balance), Tenant may, at Tenant’s election, utilize the permitted installment method, but shall pay each installment with any interest at least fifteen (15) days before delinquency and before any fine, interest, or penalty shall become due or be imposed by operation of law for their nonpayment. All payments of taxes or assessments or both, including permitted installment payments, shall be prorated for the initial Ground Lease year and for the year in which the Ground Lease terminates.

(b) Calculation of Real Estate Taxes. Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant shall be responsible for the real estate taxes attributable to the Ground Leased Premises as improved with any other improvements.

(c) Proof of Compliance. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, within five (5) days before the date when any tax, assessment, or charge (for which Tenant is responsible hereunder) would become delinquent, receipts or other appropriate evidence establishing payment thereof.

(d) Contesting Taxes. Tenant shall have the right to contest or review by legal proceedings, as permitted under applicable law, any assessed valuation, real estate tax, or assessment; provided that, unless Tenant has paid such tax or assessment under protest, Tenant

5

shall furnish to Landlord (a) proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that such protest or contest may be maintained without payment under protest, and if not, (b) a surety bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord securing the payment of such contested item or items and all interest, penalty and cost in connection therewith upon the final determination of such contest or review. Landlord shall, if it determines it is reasonable to do so, and if so requested by Tenant, join in any proceeding for contest or review of such taxes or assessments, but the entire cost of such joinder in the proceedings (including all costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees reasonably sustained by Landlord in connection therewith) shall be borne by Tenant. Any amount already paid by Tenant and subsequently recovered as the result of such contest or review shall be for the account of Tenant.

3.4 Utilities.

From and after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for water, heat, gas electricity, cable, trash disposal, sewers and any and all other utilities used upon the Ground Leased Premises throughout the Term, including without limitation any connection and servicing fees, permit fees, inspection fees, and fees to reserve utilities capacity.

3.5 No Security Deposit.

No security deposit is required hereunder.

3.6 Development Fees.

Landlord shall not have any liability or responsibility for development fees, impact fees or other similar fees or charges pertaining to or arising out of development of any improvements on the Ground Leased Premises. Tenant shall pay all such fees or otherwise cause payment by the proper party responsible for payment. The failure to pay said fees when due will constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

3.7 Triple Net Rent.

All Base Annual Rent payable hereunder shall be paid as “triple net” rent without deduction or offset. It is the intent of the parties, except as is otherwise provided in this Lease, that Base Annual Rent provided to Landlord shall be absolutely net to Landlord, and Tenant shall pay all costs, charges, insurance premiums, taxes, utilities, expenses and assessments of every kind and nature incurred for, against, or in connection with the Ground Leased Premises, including without limitation all assessments, both regular and special, which may be due to any property associations by virtue of recorded declarations, covenants and restrictions affecting the Ground Leased Premises, as same may be amended from time to time, from and after the Commencement Date, except as expressly stated herein. All such costs, charges, insurance premiums, taxes, utilities, expenses and assessments covering the Ground Leased Premises shall be prorated upon the Commencement Date and upon the expiration of this Lease, except for any expenses such as insurance premiums which are not being assumed by or transferred for the benefit of Landlord.

(ii) Remediation. If at any time during the Term of this Ground Lease, any contamination of the Ground Leased Premises by Hazardous Materials shall occur where such contamination is caused by the act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives (“Tenant Contamination”), then Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly and diligently remove such Hazardous Materials from the Ground Leased Premises, or the groundwater underlying the Ground Leased Premises, to the extent reasonably possible in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and industry standards then prevailing in the Hazardous Materials management and remediation industry in North Carolina. However, Tenant shall not take any required remedial action in response to any Tenant Contamination in, on or about the Ground Leased Premises or enter into any settlement agreement, consent, decree or other compromise in respect to any claims relating to any Tenant Contamination without first notifying Landlord of Tenant’s intention to do so and affording Landlord the opportunity to appear, intervene or otherwise appropriately assert and protect Landlord’s interest with respect thereto. Tenant shall present its plan to remediate the Tenant Contamination to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition to all other rights and remedies of the Landlord hereunder, if Tenant does not promptly and diligently take all steps to prepare and obtain all necessary approvals of a remediation plan for any Tenant Contamination, and thereafter commence the required remediation of any Hazardous Materials released or discharged in connection with Tenant Contamination within thirty (30) days after Landlord has reasonably approved Tenant’s remediation plan and all necessary approvals and consents have been obtained and thereafter continue to prosecute said remediation to completion in accordance with the approved remediation plan, then Landlord at its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause said remediation to be accomplished, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within fifteen (15) business days of Landlord’s demand for reimbursement of all amounts reasonably paid by Landlord (together with interest from the date of expenditure on said amounts at the highest lawful rate until paid), when said demand is accompanied by proof of payment by Landlord of the amounts demanded. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of hazardous waste manifests reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all Hazardous Materials removed from the Ground Leased Premises as part of Tenant’s remediation of any Tenant Contamination. In the case of any Tenant Contamination, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Ground Leased Premises for purposes of inspecting same accompanied by a representative of Tenant.

(iii) Disposition of Hazardous Materials. Except as discharged into the sanitary sewer or otherwise removed from the Ground Leased Premises in strict accordance and conformity with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, Tenant shall cause any and all Hazardous Materials removed from the Ground Leased Premises as part of the required remediation of Tenant Contamination to be removed and transported solely by duly licensed haulers to duly licensed facilities for final disposal of such materials and wastes.

(c) Notice of Hazardous Materials Matters. Each party hereto (for purposes of this Section, “Notifying Party”) shall immediately notify the other party (the “Notice Recipient”) in writing of: (a) any enforcement, clean-up, removal or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, contemplated or threatened concerning the Ground Leased Premises pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws; (b) any claim made or threatened by any person against the Notifying Party or the Ground Leased Premises relating to damage contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Materials on or about the Ground Leased Premises; and (c) any reports made to any

environmental agency arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Materials in or removed from the Ground Leased Premises including any complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations in connection therewith, all upon receipt by the Notifying Party of actual knowledge of any of the foregoing matters. Notifying Party shall also supply to Notice Recipient as promptly as possible, and in any event within five (5) business days after Notifying Party first receives or sends the same, with copies of all claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the Ground Leased Premises or Tenant’s use thereof.

(d) Indemnification by Tenant. Except to the extent caused by actions or omissions of Landlord (or its agents, employees or affiliates), Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect, and hold Landlord and each of its partners (if applicable), employees, agents, attorneys, shareholders, officers, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, damages, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs through litigation and all appeals) resulting from death of or injury to any person or damage to any property whatsoever, arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly by (a) any Tenant Contamination, (b) Tenant’s failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials Laws with respect to Tenant Contamination of the Ground Leased Premises, or (c) a breach of any covenant, warranty or representation of Tenant under this Section 4.2. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary repair, clean-up or detoxification or decontamination of the Premises, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith. For purposes of the indemnity provisions hereof, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or by employees, agents, assignees, Tenants, sublessees, contractors or subcontractors of Tenant or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant.

13

Except as provided in the preceding provisions of this Section 10.1, Tenant may not sell, assign, convey or transfer Tenant’s interest in this Ground Lease and the leasehold estate created hereby, for purposes of security or otherwise, other than as expressly permitted in this Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any authorized assignment, conveyance or transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Ground Lease shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation, Article 4 above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tenant shall in no event be released from this Ground Lease, and shall remain fully liable for all of the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions, indemnifications and obligations binding upon Tenant under this Ground Lease unless Landlord agrees to the release in writing; and in the event of an approved sale or transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Ground Lease, any approved assignee shall be required to assume in writing the “Tenant” obligations under this Lease.

(b) Tenant shall have the right to sublet portions of the Ground Leased Premises at any time and from time to time. However, each sublease shall be subject to and subordinate to this Ground Lease, and any sublease shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Article IV above. In the event of such a sublease, Tenant shall not be released from this Ground Lease, and shall remain fully liable for all the terms, provisions, covenants, conditions, indemnifications and obligations binding upon Tenant under this Ground Lease.

(c) Tenant shall have the right from time to time to assign the leasehold estate created by this Ground Lease as security for a loan or loans which are obtained by Tenant to develop improvement upon the Ground Leased Premises. A copy of such assignment shall be delivered to Landlord. In the event on any occasion hereafter Tenant seeks to mortgage its interest in the Ground Leased Premises, Landlord agrees to amend this Ground Lease from time to time to the extent reasonably required by a lender proposing to make a loan secured by a first lien upon Tenant’s interest in the Ground Leased Premises, provided that such proposed amendments do not materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of Landlord or the rights or obligations of Tenant or Tenant’s interest in the Ground Leased Premises. All reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such amendment shall be paid by Tenant.

(d) For purposes of this Section 10.1, Affiliate shall mean, with respect to Tenant, any party directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Tenant at any time during the period for which the determination of affiliation is being made. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” (including the correlative meanings of the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any party, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management policies of such party, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.

10.2 Tenant’s Option to Purchase.

(a) Defined. At any time from and after the fifth (5th ) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date and continuing throughout the entire remaining Term (including any Extended Term), Tenant shall have the option to purchase the Ground Leased Premises from

14

Landlord upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ninety (90) days written notice of Tenant’s intention to exercise Tenant’s option to purchase. The purchase price to be paid by Tenant for the purchase of the Ground Leased Premises shall be equal to the fair market value of the Land, as established herein, plus all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Ground Leased Premises to Tenant. The fair market value of the Land shall be determined by agreement of Landlord and Tenant. However, in the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to so agree, the fair market value of the Land shall be established by the median value (as specified below) taken from three independent appraisals. Each party shall, within ten (10) days after the parties fail to agree upon the fair market value, choose a qualified commercial MAI real estate appraiser with experience in valuing commercial real estate situated in Franklin County or Wake County, North Carolina. Landlord and Tenant shall each notify the other of its chosen appraiser within such ten (10) day period. The two appraisers shall within ten (10) days after his or her selection, jointly choose a similarly qualified third appraiser and the three appraisers shall each, within thirty (30) days after appointment of the third appraiser, conduct and conclude an independent appraisal of the Ground Leased Premises to determine fair market value. If either party fails to choose an appraiser in a timely manner, or if either appraiser fails to submit his or her report within thirty (30) days after his or her selection, the other party’s appraisal shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties even if the third party appraiser submits his or her report. Unless the preceding sentence is applicable, the median value taken from the three appraisers shall be determined by disregarding the highest and lowest of the three appraisals so obtained, and shall be conclusively determined to be the basis for determining the fair market rental value of the Ground Leased Premises. Each party shall pay for its own appraisal and share equally the cost of the third appraisal. In determining the fair market value of the Land, no consideration shall be given to any buildings or improvements located on the Land or to any governmental approvals (such as a certificate of need issued by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services) required to develop a health care facility on the Ground Leased Premises. The determination of fair market value of the Land by the appraiser shall be binding on both parties.

(b) Sale Details. The sale of the Ground Leased Premises to Tenant shall close not later than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of Tenant’s notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to exercise its option to purchase the Ground Leased Premises. All reasonable and customary closing costs in connection with the sale of the Ground Leased Premises shall be paid by Tenant. Landlord shall convey the Ground Leased Premises to Tenant free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, but subject to the Permitted Encumbrances (as described in EXHIBIT “B” attached hereto). All taxes, utility charges and other expenses of the Ground Leased Premises shall be prorated as of the date of closing.

(c) Termination of Ground Lease. From and after the date of closing of the sale of the Ground Leased Premises to Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provision, this Ground Lease shall be deemed terminated and Tenant shall be released from any further liability hereunder (except if any such liability expressly survives such termination) or, alternatively, should Tenant not desire to merge the fee and leasehold titles, the Ground Lease shall continue in full force and effect except Landlord shall be completely released from any further liability hereunder.

ARTICLE XI

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Comprehensive Liability Insurance.

Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, at all times during the Term, maintain in force, for the joint benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and any holder of a mortgage on the Ground Leased Premises, a broad form comprehensive coverage policy of public liability insurance issued by a carrier satisfactory to Landlord and licensed to do business the State of North Carolina with a Best’s Insurance Guide Rating of A+, by the terms of which Landlord and Tenant, and any holder of a mortgage on the Ground Leased Premises, are named as insureds and are indemnified against liability for damage or injury to the property or person (including death) of any tenant (including Tenant), its invitee or any other person entering upon or using the Ground Leased Premises, or any structure thereon or any part thereof. Such insurance policy or policies shall be maintained with single limit coverage of $5,000,000.00, with a deductible not exceeding $100,000.00. Such insurance policy or policies shall be stated to be primary and noncontributing with any insurance which may be carried by Landlord. A certificate of insurance, together with proof of payment of the premium thereof shall be delivered to Landlord on the Lease Commencement Date, effective from and after the Lease Commencement Date, and renewal certificates and proof of payment of premium therefor shall be delivered to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the renewal date of any such insurance policies during the Term and any Extended Term. Such insurance shall be cancelable only after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and Tenant, and any holder of a mortgage on the Ground Leased Premises. In the event Tenant fails to timely pay any premium when due, Landlord shall be authorized to do so, and may charge all costs and expenses thereof, including the premium and interest at the maximum rate allowed by law to Tenant, to be paid by Tenant as additional rent hereunder.

11.2 Fire and Extended Coverage Property Insurance.

Tenant shall, at its cost and expense and at all times during the Term, maintain in force for the joint benefit of Landlord and Tenant, and any holder of a mortgage on the Ground Leased Premises, a policy of insurance insuring all improvements located on the Ground Leased Premises against loss or damage by fire and lightning, and such other perils as are covered under the “extended coverage” or “all risk” provisions of policies generally in force on comparable improvements in Raleigh, North Carolina. Landlord shall be named as an additional insured on such policy of insurance and any insurance proceeds shall be applied in the manner as set forth in this Lease. The insurance shall be carried and maintained in amounts sufficient to provide coverage of the estimated full replacement cost of the improvements (exclusive of land, excavations, foundations, and other items unusually excluded from such coverage); provided however, that during the period of construction, Tenant shall provide or cause to be provided in lieu thereof builders’ risk or similar type of insurance to the full replacement costs thereof. Such insurance policy or policies shall be stated to be primary and noncontributing with any insurance which may be carried by Landlord. In addition, the deductible for such insurance shall not exceed $25,000.00. A certificate of said insurance, together with proof of payment of the premium thereof, shall be delivered to Landlord on the Lease Commencement Date, to be effective from and after the Lease Commencement Date. Any renewal certificates and proof of

16

payment of premium therefor shall be delivered to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the renewal date of any such insurance policies during the Term and any Extended Term. Such insurance shall be cancelable only after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and Tenant. In the event Tenant fails to timely pay any premium when due, Landlord shall be authorized to do so, and may charge all costs and expenses thereof, including the premium and interest at the maximum rate allowed by law, to Tenant, to be paid by Tenant as additional rent hereunder.

11.3 Waiver of Subrogation.

Landlord and Tenant and all parties claiming under them mutually release and discharge each other from all claims and liabilities arising from or caused by any casualty or hazard covered or required hereunder to be covered in whole or in part by the casualty and liability insurance to be carried on the Ground Leased Premises and/or in connection with any improvements on or activities conducted on the Ground Leased Premises and/or in or on the improvements located thereon and waive any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof, and evidence such waiver by endorsement to the required insurance policies, provided that such release shall not operate in any case where the effect is to invalidate or increase the cost of such insurance coverage (provided that in the case of increased cost, the other party shall have the right, within thirty (30) days following written notice, to pay such increased cost, thereby keeping such release and waiver in full force and effect).

11.4 Indemnification.

Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and save Landlord, its agents, officers, shareholders, employees, and attorneys harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, actions, fines, penalties, demands, damages, liability and expense, including attorneys’ fees and costs through litigation and all appeals, in connection with the loss of life, personal injury and damage to property arising from or out of (a) any occurrence in, upon, at or about the Ground Leased Premises during the term of this Ground Lease; (b) the occupancy, use, construction upon and maintenance of the Ground Leased Premises by Tenant and its Tenants, sublessees, guests and invitees, and any party acting by, through or under any of them; (c) the operation of the business of Tenant thereon; and (d) any act or failure to act, occasioned wholly or in party by Tenant and its agents, contractors, employees, invitees or any other person. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to make Tenant liable for any injury or loss caused by the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any agent or employee of Landlord, Landlord agreeing to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless therefrom.

ARTICLE XII

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

12.1 Tenant’s Duty to Restore Premises.

At any time during the Term of this Lease, and so long as no uncured Event of Default has occurred (after giving Tenant the time to effect a cure as set forth herein), if any buildings or improvements now or hereafter on the Ground Leased Premises are damaged and/or destroyed in whole or in part by fire, theft, the elements, or any other cause, this Ground Lease shall continue

17

in full force and effect, and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may repair and restore the damaged or destroyed the improvements as nearly as possible to their value and function immediately prior to the damage or destruction, whether or not there are sufficient insurance proceeds to cover the repair and restoration expenses; but if Tenant elects not to restore such improvements, Tenant shall promptly (a) secure the Ground Leased Premises, making the same safe; and (b) remove and dispose of all debris from such Ground Leased Premises. If Tenant desires to rebuild any improvements located on the Ground Leased Premises so that they will have a use different than use as or related to a health care facility, then such different use of the rebuilt facility shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. The work of repair and restoration shall be commenced by Tenant as soon as reasonably possible with due consideration given to among other things, clearing of damaged portions of the Ground Leased Premises and site preparation, adjustment of insurance claims, redesign, rebidding and repermitting, obtaining a new loan or loans for construction or repair. Tenant shall proceed diligently to commence repairs and restoration. Once construction has commenced Tenant shall proceed diligently thereafter to complete the construction or repair, subject to reasonable delays due to force majeure events or events beyond the reasonable control of Tenant. Tenant shall not be responsible for delays caused by force majeure events or events or events beyond the reasonable control of Tenant. In all other respects, the work of any repair and restoration shall be done in accordance with the requirements for original construction work on the Ground Leased Premises set forth in Article 5 of this Lease. Any failure by Tenant to timely and properly repair and restore the Ground Leased Premises, or to secure it and remove and dispose all debris if Tenant elects to not restore the improvements, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

12.2 Option to Terminate Ground Lease for Destruction.

Notwithstanding Section 12.1 above, in the event that during the last nine (9) months of the Term or the Extended Term, any improvements located on the Ground Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire, theft or any other casualty, through no fault of Tenant, so that it cannot be repaired and restored as required by Section 12.1 of this Ground Lease at a cost not more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the cost of replacing such improvements, then Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Ground Lease on the last calendar day of any month during the last year of the Ground Lease Term by giving to Landlord at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of Tenant’s intent to do so; and if Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, then Tenant shall also be required to remove, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, all debris and remains of the damaged improvements from the Ground Leased Premises.

12.3 Application of Insurance Proceeds.

Any and all fire or other insurance proceeds that become payable at any time during the Term because of damage to or destruction of any buildings or improvements on the Ground Leased Premises shall be paid to Tenant and applied toward the cost of repairing and restoring the damaged or destroyed buildings or improvements in the manner required by Section 12.1 of this Lease; provided, however, that should Tenant exercise its option granted by Section 12.2 of this Ground Lease to terminate this Ground Lease because of damage to or destruction of buildings or improvements on the Ground Leased Premises, then, in that event, any and all fire or other insurance proceeds that become payable because of such damage or destruction shall be applied in the following order of priority:

(a) Shall be applied to remove the debris.

18

(b) Then the balance of the proceeds, if any, shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the values of their respective interests in the Ground Leased Premises and all improvements thereon immediately prior to the damage or destruction. Tenant shall be responsible, from its portion of the proceeds or from its own independent funds to pay and discharge any liens or encumbrances created or incurred by it prior to such casualty and termination and Landlord shall be responsible, from its portion of the proceeds or from its own independent funds to pay and discharge any other liens or encumbrances created or incurred by it, such that the Ground Leased Premises and all other improvements shall be free of all liens and encumbrances but subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. The value of Landlord’s interest in the Ground Leased Premises and all improvements thereon immediately prior to the damage or destruction shall include the then value of its interest in the Ground Leased Premises prior to the Expiration Date of this Ground Lease and the value of its reversionary interest in the Land after the Expiration Date, excluding any improvements constructed thereon. The value of Tenant’s interest in the Ground Leased Premises and improvements immediately prior to the damage or destruction shall include the then value of its interest in the Ground Leased Premises for the remainder of the Term of this Ground Lease, and the then value of all improvements constructed thereon. Such values shall be those determined by agreement between Landlord and Tenant. If such agreement cannot be reached, such values shall be determined in accordance with the appraisal provisions of Sections 3.1 and 10.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at its option, in lieu of receiving any cash representing its portion of the balance of the proceeds, cause or permit the entire amount of such remaining proceeds to be paid directly to Tenant and, in such event, Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord to use Landlord’s allocable portion of such remaining proceeds to purchase such real property or assets as Landlord may identify, and cause such real property or other assets to be distributed to Landlord, at no additional expense to Tenant.

ARTICLE XIII

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

13.1 Defaults.

Each of the following events shall be a default by Tenant and a breach of this Ground Lease and constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) Abandonment. Abandonment of any improvements now or hereafter constructed on the Ground Leased Premises, where such abandonment continues for a period of ninety (90) days after notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant.

(b) Attachment or Other Levy. The subjection of any right or interest of Tenant in the Ground Leased Premises to attachment, execution or other levy, or to seizure under legal process, if not released within ninety (90) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant to obtain satisfaction thereof, except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.1(c) hereof.

19

(c) Appointment of Receiver. The appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Ground Leased Premises or improvements thereof, or of Tenant’s interest in the leasehold estate or of Tenant’s operations on the Ground Leased Premises or Tenant’s assets, for any reason, including but not limited to assignment for benefit of creditors or voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, but not including receivership (a) pursuant to administration of the estate of any deceased or incompetent individual member of Tenant, or (b) pursuant to any mortgage permitted by the provision of this Ground Lease relating to the purchase or construction of improvements, or (c) instituted by Landlord, the event of default being not the appointment of a receiver at Landlord’s instance, but the event justifying the receivership, if any.

(d) Insolvency: Bankruptcy. An assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against Tenant under any law for the purpose of adjudicating Tenant a bankrupt, or for extending time for payment, adjustment or satisfaction of Tenant’s liabilities, or for reorganization, dissolution, or arrangement on account of, or to prevent bankruptcy or insolvency; unless, in case of such that are involuntary on Tenant’s part, the assignment, proceedings, and all consequent orders, adjudications, custodies and supervisions are dismissed, vacated, terminated or bonded within ninety (90) days after the assignment, filing or other initial event.

(e) Default in Mortgage Payment. Any default under any mortgage encumbering the leasehold estate of this Lease, or under any loan agreement or promissory note secured by any such mortgage which is not cured by Tenant within the applicable cure period, if any, or not otherwise waived in writing by any leasehold mortgagee.

(f) Default in Payment or Performance Under this Lease. Subject to paragraph (g) below, failure of Tenant to pay any installment of Base Annual Rent, rent, additional rent, or any impositions or other monetary obligations of any nature whatsoever required to be paid by Tenant under this Ground Lease within fifteen (15) days of when due and payable; or failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of its other covenants, conditions or agreements under this Ground Lease or under the terms of any mortgage documents which encumber the leasehold interest in the Ground Leased Premises, the improvements located thereon or any part thereof or interest therein; or the breach of any warranties or representations of Tenant under this Lease. For purposes of this Article 13, all monetary payments required to be made under this Lease, including, but not limited to, taxes, insurance premiums, utility payments, and association assessments, together with all other sums Tenant is obligated to pay under this Ground Lease (other than rent), shall be deemed additional rent hereunder.

(g) Notice and Right to Cure. If the alleged default is monetary in nature such as (but not limited to) nonpayment of rent, taxes or any other sums required to be paid by Tenant (excluding Section 13.1(e)), Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant of the default and Tenant will have thirty (30) days after the receipt of such written notice to cure the default. As to any non-monetary defaults, Tenant shall have ninety (90) days after written notice is given by Landlord specifying the nature of the default to cure the default; provided, however, that if

20

after exercise of due diligence and its best efforts to cure such non-monetary default Tenant is unable to do so within the ninety (90) day period, then the curing period shall be extended for such reasonable time as may be approved by Landlord for curing such default, so long as Tenant continues to diligently prosecute to completion the curing of the default. As used herein, non-monetary default shall include, without limitation, a breach of any covenant of Tenant hereunder, Tenant’s failure to perform as required hereunder, and a breach of any warranty, representation or other agreement of Tenant under this Lease. If the alleged default is nonpayment of monetary obligations under Section 13.1(e), Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days after the happening of the default under the note or mortgage to cure the default of Section 13.1(e), or the time period for cure specified under the note or mortgage, whichever is longer.

13.2 Remedies.

If any default by Tenant shall continue uncured upon expiration of the applicable curing period, Landlord may exercise any one or all of the following remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or equity, from time to time, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:

(a) Termination. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, and without notice, terminate this Lease. All Tenant’s rights in the Ground Leased Premises and in all improvements shall terminate upon termination of this Lease. Promptly after any such termination, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Ground Leased Premises and any other improvements in broom-clean condition, and Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Ground Leased Premises and all other improvements. Termination under this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant from the payment of any sum then due to Landlord, or from any claim for damages accrued against Tenant through the date of termination.

(b) Re-entry Without Termination. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, re-enter the Ground Leased Premises and any improvements thereon, and without terminating this Lease, at any time, relet the Ground Leased Premises and improvements, or any part(s) of them, for the account, and in the name of Tenant or otherwise, all upon commercially reasonable rates and terms determined by Landlord, without hereby obligating Landlord to relet the Ground Leased Premises and any improvements or make an effort to relet either or both of them in whole or in part, at any time. Any reletting may be for the remainder of the Term, or for any longer or shorter period. Landlord may execute any leases made under this provision either in Landlord’s name or in Tenant’s name, and Landlord shall be entitled to all rents from the use, operation or occupancy of the Ground Leased Premises or improvements, or both. Landlord shall have the further right, at Landlord’s option, to make such reasonable and necessary alterations, repairs, replacements and/or restorations which shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder. Tenant shall nevertheless pay to Landlord on the due dates specified in this Ground Lease the equivalent of all sums required of Tenant under this Lease, plus Landlord’s expenses. No act by or on behalf of Landlord under this provision shall constitute a termination of this Ground Lease unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination.

(c) Tenant’s Personal Property. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, use Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures or any of such property and fixtures without compensation and without liability for use or damage, or store them for the account and at the cost of Tenant. The election of one remedy for any one item shall not foreclose an election of any other remedy for another item, or for the same item at a later time.

21

(d) Appointment of Receiver. Landlord may, if Landlord elects to file suit to enforce this Ground Lease and/or protect its rights hereunder, in addition to the other remedies provided in this Ground Lease and by law, have the appointment of a receiver of the Ground Leased Premises and the improvements thereon.

(e) Acceleration. To the extent allowed by North Carolina law, Landlord may accelerate the Base Annual Rent, the rent and any additional rent due hereunder and Tenant shall immediately pay Landlord, as damages, the present value of the entire amount of all of such sums which would become due and payable during the remainder of the Ground Lease Term, as applicable. Present value shall be determined utilizing generally accepted standard present value tables available at the time of such election.

13.3 Remedies Cumulative.

Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term of this Ground Lease would have expired nor limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. All the remedies hereinbefore given to Landlord and all rights and remedies given to it at law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent.

13.4 Tenant’s Liability After Default.

If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant, only if such default continues after the expiration of the curing period applicable, if any, under Section 13.1(g) of this Lease. Any reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance, and all costs, expenses, and disbursements of every kind and nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees including appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings involved in collecting or endeavoring to collect the rent or any additional rent or any part thereof or enforcing or endeavoring to enforce any rights against Tenant or Tenant’s obligations hereunder, shall be due and payable upon Landlord’s submission of an invoice therefor. All sums advanced by Landlord on account of Tenant under this section, or pursuant to any other provision of this Lease, and all rent, if delinquent or not paid by Tenant and received by Landlord when due hereunder, shall bear interest at the maximum rate permitted by law, from the due date thereof until paid and the same shall be and constitute additional rent and be due and payable upon Landlord’s demand therefor.

22

13.5 Holdover.

If Tenant remains in possession of the Ground Leased Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term or any extension thereof, without having executed its right to extend the term of this Ground Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance and shall pay the Landlord a rent equal to twice the Base Annual Rent paid by Tenant in the last month prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease, which shall be payable on a per diem basis, not to exceed the amount permitted to be charged by a Landlord under applicable North Carolina law. Notwithstanding that Landlord may allow Tenant to continue in possession after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, neither that nor the provisions of this section shall constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights under this section or this Lease. Further, notwithstanding the payment of rent by Tenant and acceptance thereof by Landlord as provided in this section, Tenant shall be in continuing breach of this Ground Lease at any time or during any period in which Tenant is a holdover tenant.

ARTICLE XIV

SURRENDER AND REMOVAL

14.1 Surrender of Possession.

Upon the expiration of the Term, the Extended Term(s) or any earlier termination thereof, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord possession of the Ground Leased Premises and all improvements constructed and installed thereon. If Tenant is not then in default under any of the covenants and conditions hereof, Tenant may remove, or cause to be removed, all personal property and equipment of Tenant, other than permanent fixtures, from the Ground Leased Premises on or prior to the date of any termination of this Lease promptly repairing any damage caused by such removal; thereafter all such personal property and equipment not removed shall belong to Landlord without the payment of any consideration.

14.2 Tenant’s Quitclaim.

Upon the expiration of the Term or any Extended Term, or any sooner termination of this Lease, if Tenant has not exercised its option to purchase the Ground Leased Premises, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a proper instrument in writing, releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest of Tenant in and to the Ground Leased Premises and all improvements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and Subject to Section 22 hereof, Manager shall have authority to direct the business and affairs of the Owners and the Hospital Facilities and, in so doing, shall manage, control and have all of the rights and powers which may be possessed by a North Carolina limited liability company (with respect to Louisburg) or a South Carolina limited liability company (with respect to Gaffney). Subject to Section 22 hereof, Manager shall have the power to bind the Owners and the Hospital Facilities and enter into obligations on behalf of the Owners and the Hospital Facilities, and to take any action the Manager deems necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing. In furtherance of the foregoing powers, and Subject to Section 22 hereof, each Owner hereby appoints Manager as its attorney-in-fact, with full power to act on behalf of and in the name of the Owner.

(b) In accordance with the authority granted hereunder and Subject to Section 22 hereof, Manager will supervise and manage the entire business and operations of the Hospital Facilities, including without limitation each Owner’s provision of healthcare services as well as all matters and functions pertaining to the business and administration of the Hospital Facilities, including without limitation the following: accounting, purchasing, quality assurance, marketing, human resources and personnel matters, information systems, cash management, billing and collection, risk management, general management, finances, medical and non-medical personnel and all staffing, equipment, furnishings, inventory and supplies, legal matters, tax matters and reimbursement matters of or pertaining to the Hospital Facilities.

3

prohibitions on private inurement, private benefit, excessive lobbying expenditures and campaign activities applicable to Code Section 501(c)(3) organizations; and (iii) the Xxxxxxxx Order.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall not cause any Hospital Facility to engage in any activities or take any action which is inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Manager, Novant or their tax-exempt Affiliates, or which would create any material amount of “unrelated business taxable income” within the meaning of Section 512(a) of the Code to Manager, Novant or their tax-exempt Affiliates. Any decision of Manager to forego an action or activity which would be inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Manager, Novant or their tax-exempt Affiliates shall not be a breach of any duty of Manager to the Owners, the Parent, or any other party.

(e) In furtherance of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall have the right to make all decisions regarding the administration of the Charity Policy, to direct the administration of the Charity Policy, and to initiate and enforce matters regarding the same.

Manager may perform its services under this Agreement through such employees and agents as it determines appropriate.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Manager assumes no financial obligations whatsoever of Owners by reason of its performance of management services under this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

3. Term.

The termination of this Agreement will not affect any rights or obligations arising hereunder prior to the effective date of termination.

4

(b) In addition to the foregoing, Manager or Owners (acting together, and constituting one party for purposes of this Section) may terminate this Agreement for cause upon a material breach by the other party of its material obligations under this Agreement. In order to effect a termination for cause, the non-breaching party shall furnish to the breaching party a written notice setting forth the nature of the breach, and the breaching party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice within which to cure the specified breach; provided, however, that in the event such breach may not reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended provided that the breaching party is using commercially reasonably efforts to cure such breach. In the event that the breaching party fails to cure the specified breach within such thirty (30) day notice period (subject to the extension of such period as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the thirty (30) day notice period (or at such time as the breaching party ceases to use commercially reasonably efforts to cure such breach) upon written notice of termination by the non-breaching party.

(a) Purposes. The purpose of the Company shall be (i) to operate the Subsidiaries and the other assets of the Company to promote health and provide healthcare services in a non-discriminatory manner to individuals without regard to race, creed, national origin, gender, payor source or the ability to pay for the services; (ii) to provide quality health care services in a manner that is consistent with the charitable purposes of Foundation by promoting the health, wellness and welfare for a broad cross-section of the communities served by the Company and the Subsidiaries; (iii) to operate the Company and the Subsidiaries in accordance with the Community Benefit Standard; and (iv) to generally engage in such other business and activities and to do any and all other acts and things permitted under the Act and in furtherance of the purposes of the Company as set forth in this paragraph (subject to the provisions of this Agreement).

(b) Operations in a Manner Consistent With Foundation’s Exempt Purposes. The Company’s and each Subsidiary’s operations shall be conducted and managed in a manner that will not (i) cause Foundation to act in a manner inconsistent with its tax-exempt purpose, (ii) adversely affect Foundation’s tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, or (iii) generate income for Foundation or any of its Affiliates which is subject to federal taxation. Other than distributions to Members and withdrawals or returns of capital, each as permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, no part of the net earnings of the Company or any Subsidiary shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to its Members, directors, trustees, officers, or other private persons, except that the Company and each Subsidiary is expressly authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in the furtherance of the purposes set forth herein. No substantial part of the activities of the Company or the Subsidiaries shall be carrying on of propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation, except to the extent permitted by law for a corporation exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

Any references to tax-exempt status of an entity or the tax-exempt nature of any income allocated to it shall apply equally to the entity, or any tax-exempt Affiliate of it.

(d) Powers. The Company shall have any and all powers that are necessary or desirable to carry out the aforesaid purposes, activities, and business of the Company, to the extent the same may be legally exercised by limited liability companies under the Act, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

2. Engagement; Scope of Management.

(a) Subject to the authority granted to the Parent Board under the LLC Agreement, Owner hereby engages Manager to furnish, and Manager hereby agrees to provide, management services in connection with the entire operation of the Hospital Facility, to manage the operations of the Hospital Facility and to perform additional services for the Hospital Facilities’ operation to the extent set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the LLC Agreement, Manager shall have authority to direct the business and affairs of the Owner and the Hospital Facility. Subject to the authority granted to the Parent Board under the LLC Agreement, Manager shall have the power to bind the Owner and the Hospital Facility and enter into obligations on behalf of the Owner and the Hospital Facility, and to take any action the Manager deems necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing. Manager agrees to abide by the terms of the LLC Agreement applicable to the Manager or the operations of the Owner and its Hospital Facility.

(b) In accordance with the authority granted hereunder and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the LLC Agreement, Manager will supervise and manage the entire business and operations of the Hospital Facility, including without limitation Owner’s provision of healthcare services as well as all matters and functions pertaining to the business and administration of the Hospital Facility, including without limitation the following: accounting, purchasing, quality assurance, marketing, human resources and personnel matters, information systems, cash management, billing and collection, risk management, general management, finances, medical and non-medical personnel and all staffing, equipment, furnishings, inventory and supplies, legal matters, tax matters and reimbursement matters of or pertaining to the Hospital Facility.

(c) In exercising its duties hereunder, Manager will cause the Hospital Facility to be operated in accordance with the purposes and in the manner described in Section 2.6 of the LLC Agreement, a copy of said Section being attached hereto as Exhibit II and incorporated herein by reference. Manager shall manage the Hospital Facility in accordance with (i) the purposes and in the manner described in Exhibit II, including the Community Benefit Standard and (ii) the prohibitions on private inurement, private benefit, excessive lobbying expenditures and campaign activities applicable to 501(c)(3) organizations as required by Section 2.6 of the LLC Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Manager will cause the Hospital Facility to be operated in accordance with the Xxxxxxxx Order.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall not cause the Hospital Facility to engage in any activities or take any action which is inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Foundation or Novant or which would create unrelated business taxable income to Foundation or Novant in excess of the “Mooresville UBTI Threshold”, as that term is defined in the LLC Agreement. Any decision of Manager to forego an action or activity which would be inconsistent with the tax-exempt status of Foundation shall not be a breach of any duty of Manager to the Owner or the Parent.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Foundation shall have the right to make decisions regarding the administration of the Charity Policy, to direct the administration of the Charity Policy, and to initiate and enforce matters regarding the same, provided, however that Foundation agrees that the Charity Policy will be administered by Foundation in the same manner that Novant or its Affiliates administer the charity care policy at Presbyterian Huntersville. Foundation represents and warrants to Owner and Manager that the charity care policy of Presbyterian Huntersville in effect on the date hereof is the same as the Charity Policy in all material respects, except for formatting and the institutional names referenced therein. All parties hereto acknowledge that the application of the Charity Policy may result in expenditures that are below the “Community Benefit Threshold” established in the LLC Agreement, or that exceed such Community Benefit Threshold. If expenditures in furtherance of the Community Benefit Standard are less than the Community Benefit Threshold, and Foundation makes a good-faith determination that the Community Benefit Standard is being met, Foundation will not require that the Community Benefit Threshold be met through additional expenditures. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Foundation shall have the right to initiate, modify, amend, supplement and approve Community Benefit Activities which Foundation believes are necessary or appropriate to further the Community Benefit Standard, and such decision shall be within the exclusive control of Foundation. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except for changes to the Charity Policy made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.2(e) of the LLC Agreement, Foundation will not make any modification, amendment or supplement to the Charity Policy which (i) would cause the Community Benefit Threshold to be exceeded as a result of the change; (ii) if the Community Benefit Threshold is already exceeded at the time of the change, would increase the aggregate cost or expense of charity care; or (iii) would cause or require Owner to have more generous charity care requirements than exist at Presbyterian Huntersville. Except for changes to the Charity Policy made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.2(e) of the LLC Agreement, in no event will Owner be required to make expenditures in excess of the Community Benefit Threshold as a result of any modifications, amendments, or supplements to the Charity Policy that Foundation makes after the date hereof. Foundation will at all times allow Owner to take such actions as are necessary to comply with the Xxxxxxxx Order. Prior to taking any action pursuant to this Section, Foundation will consult with and seek advice from Owner and Manager with respect to any contemplated activities or actions, and will provide reasonably detailed information to Owner and Manager regarding the proposed activities or actions, and the reasons such actions or activities are to be implemented.

4

(f) Subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) above, Manager will perform its management services and other duties and obligations hereunder at standards prevailing in the healthcare industry and at levels at least equal to the level of services provided with respect to other Affiliates of HMA.

(g) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the provisions of the LLC Agreement, including Sections 2.6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.12, and 6.13 thereof, the intent and understanding of this Agreement is that Manager is delegated full authority for the comprehensive operations of the Hospital Facility, without the prior consultation or approval of Parent or Foundation.

In the event that the breaching party fails to cure the specified breach within such thirty (30) day notice period (subject to the extension of such period as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the thirty (30) day notice period (or at such time as the breaching party ceases to use commercially reasonably efforts to cure such breach) upon written notice of termination by the non-breaching party.

(c) I the event that Manager fails to timely provide the report required by Section 6.12(c) of the LLC Agreement, or fails to cause the Owner and/or the Hospital Facility to operate in accordance with the Community Benefit Standard, Foundation shall have a right to initiate the procedures set forth in Section 6.13 of the LLC Agreement to enforce the Community Benefit Standard, including but not limited to termination of this Agreement, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 of the LLC Agreement.

Any indemnity under this section shall be paid out of, and to the extent of, assets of Owner only, including insurance proceeds if available.

(b) Operations in a Manner Consistent With Foundation’s Exempt Purposes. The Company’s and each Subsidiary’s operations shall be conducted and managed in a manner that will not (i) cause Foundation to act in a manner inconsistent with its tax-exempt purpose, (ii) adversely affect Foundation’s tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, or (iii) generate income for Foundation or any of its Affiliates which is subject to federal taxation. Other than distributions to Members and withdrawals or returns of capital, each as permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, no part of the net earnings of the Company or any Subsidiary shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to its Members, directors, trustees, officers, or other private persons, except that the Company and each Subsidiary is expressly authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in the furtherance of the purposes set forth herein.

Any references to tax-exempt status of an entity or the tax-exempt nature of any income allocated to it shall apply equally to the entity, or any tax-exempt Affiliate of it.

(d) Powers.

WHEREAS, the Restructuring Agreement contemplates that HMA or one of its Affiliates will enter into a transition services agreement pursuant to which HMA will provide certain transition services to the Novant Managed Subsidiaries, in order to facilitate the orderly transition of the management and operation of the Class A Subsidiaries;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings given to such terms in the Restructuring Agreement.

2. Scope of Services. During the term of this Agreement HMA or one or more of its Affiliates shall provide or cause to be provided to Foundation or the Novant Managed Subsidiaries the services identified on Schedule A attached hereto (each a “Service” and collectively the “Services”), for the periods commencing upon Closing and ending on the expiration of the applicable period set forth on Schedule A with respect to each such Service. Foundation shall not resell, subcontract, license, sublicense or otherwise transfer any of the Services to any Person whatsoever or permit use of any of the Services by any Person other than in accordance with the terms hereof and by Foundation or the Novant Managed Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. Except as otherwise set forth in on Schedule A, HMA shall have no obligation hereunder to (i) provide Foundation with any data, content or other information relating to HMA, its Affiliates, or any other entities or businesses stored, maintained, generated or produced by HMA or its Affiliates, or (ii) segregate any such data, content or other information from the data, content or other information generated or maintained by HMA. HMA shall have the exclusive right to select, employ, pay, supervise, administer, direct and discharge any of the employees or other Persons who will perform such Services.

3. Standard of Performance.

Without limiting the foregoing, HMA shall have no obligation hereunder to provide any improvements, upgrades, updates, substitutions, modifications or enhancements to any of the Services, unless the same are provided in the course of delivering the Services to HMA’s hospitals or as expressly specified on Schedule A. Foundation acknowledges that HMA and its Affiliates may be providing services similar to the Services provided hereunder or services that involve the same resources as those used to provide the Services to its hospitals and other business units, Affiliates and to other third parties, and, accordingly, HMA and its Affiliates may, after reasonable prior notice to Foundation (which shall be no less than forty-five (45) days), modify the manner in which such Services are provided in connection with changes to HMA’s hospitals and other business units in the ordinary course of HMA’s business; provided, however, that no such modification shall materially diminish or modify the Services. HMA shall provide Foundation with as much advance written notice of any such changes or modifications as is practicable under the circumstances.

D. Obligations of Business Associate. Business Associate agrees to comply with applicable federal and state confidentiality and security laws, specifically the provisions of the HIPAA Rules applicable to business associates, including:

1. Use and Disclosure of PHI. Except as otherwise permitted by this Addendum or applicable law, Business Associate shall not use or disclose PHI except as necessary to provide the services that are contemplated under the Agreement to or on behalf of Covered Entity, and shall not use or disclose PHI that would violate the HIPAA Rules if used or disclosed by Covered Entity. Provided, however, Business Associate may use and disclose PHI as necessary for the proper management and administration of Business Associate, or to carry out its legal responsibilities. Business Associate shall in such cases:

(a) provide information to members of its workforce using or disclosing PHI regarding the confidentiality requirements of the Privacy Rule and this Addendum;

(b) obtain reasonable assurances from the person or entity to whom the PHI is disclosed that: (a) the PHI will be held confidential and further used and disclosed only as Required by Law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the person or entity; and (b) the person or entity will notify Business Associate of any instances of which it is aware in which confidentiality of the PHI has been breached; and

(c) agree to notify the designated Privacy Officer of Covered Entity of any instances of which it is aware in which the PHI is used or disclosed for a purpose that is not otherwise provided for in this Addendum or for a purpose not expressly permitted by the HIPAA Rules.

2. Data Aggregation. In the event that Business Associate works for more than one Covered Entity, Business Associate is permitted to use and disclose PHI for data aggregation purposes, however, only in order to analyze data for permitted health care operations, and only to the extent that such use is permitted under the Privacy Rule.

2

3. De-identified Information. Business Associate may use and disclose de-identified health information if (i) the use is disclosed to Covered Entity and permitted by Covered Entity in its sole discretion and (ii) the de-identification is in compliance with 45 C.F.R. §164.502(d), and the de-identified health information meets the standard and implementation specifications for de-identification under 45 C.F.R. §164.514(a) and (b).

4. Safeguards. Business Associate shall maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure that PHI is not used or disclosed other than as provided by this Addendum or as required by Law. Business Associate shall implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any electronic PHI it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of Covered Entity.

5. Minimum Necessary. Business Associate shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all uses and disclosures of PHI are subject to the principle of “minimum necessary use and disclosure,” i.e., that only PHI that is the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure, or request is used or disclosed.

6. Disclosure to Agents and Subcontractors. If Business Associate discloses PHI received from Covered Entity, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity, to agents, including a subcontractor, Business Associate shall require the agent or subcontractor to agree to the same restrictions and conditions as apply to Business Associate under this Addendum. Business Associate shall ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, agrees to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the electronic PHI that it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of the Covered Entity. Business Associate shall be liable to Covered Entity for any acts, failures or omissions of the agent or subcontractor in providing the services as if they were Business Associate’s own acts, failures or omissions, to the extent permitted by law. Business Associate further expressly warrants that its agents or subcontractors will be specifically advised of, and will comply in all respects with, the terms of this Addendum.

7. Individual Rights Regarding Designated Record Sets. If Business Associate maintains a Designated Record Set on behalf of Covered Entity Business Associate agrees as follows:

(a) Individual Right to Copy or Inspection. Business Associate agrees that if it maintains a Designated Record Set for Covered Entity that is not maintained by Covered Entity, it will permit an Individual to inspect or copy PHI about the Individual in that set as directed by Covered Entity to meet the requirements of 45 C.F.R. § 164.524.

3

Under the Privacy Rule, Covered Entity is required to take action on such requests as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days following receipt of the request. Business Associate will meet the applicable deadline set forth under the Privacy Rule or other applicable state law legal requirement. The information shall be provided in the form or format requested if it is readily producible in such form or format; or in summary, if the Individual has agreed in advance to accept the information in summary form. A reasonable, cost-based fee for copying health information may be charged, in accordance with all applicable federal and state legal requirements. If Covered Entity maintains the requested records, Covered Entity, rather than Business Associate shall permit access according to its policies and procedures implementing the Privacy Rule.

(b) Individual Right to Amendment. Business Associate agrees, if it maintains PHI in a Designated Record Set, to make amendments to PHI at the request and direction of Covered Entity pursuant to 45 C.F.R. 164.526. If Business Associate maintains a record in a Designated Record Set that is not also maintained by Covered Entity, Business Associate agrees that it will accommodate an Individual’s request to amend PHI only in conjunction with a determination by Covered Entity that the amendment is appropriate according to 45 C.F.R. § 164.526.

(c) Accounting of Disclosures. Business Associate agrees to maintain documentation of the information required to provide an accounting of disclosures of PHI in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.528, and to make this information available to Covered Entity upon Covered Entity’s request, in order to allow Covered Entity to respond to an Individual’s request for accounting of disclosures. Under the Privacy Rule, Covered Entity is required to take action on such requests as soon as possible but not later than 60 days following receipt of the request. Business Associate will meet the applicable deadline set forth under the Privacy Rule or other applicable state law legal requirement. Such accounting must be provided without cost to the individual or Covered Entity if it is the first accounting requested by an individual within any 12 month period; however, a reasonable, cost-based fee may be charged for subsequent accountings if Business Associate informs the individual in advance of the fee and is afforded an opportunity to withdraw or modify the request. Such accounting is limited to disclosures that were made in the six (6) years prior to the request (not including disclosures prior to the compliance date of the Privacy Rule) and shall be provided for as long as Business Associate maintains the PHI.

4

8. Internal Practices, Policies and Procedures. Except as otherwise specified herein, Business Associate shall make available its internal practices, policies and procedures relating to the use and disclosure of PHI, received from or on behalf of Covered Entity to the Secretary or his or her agents for the purpose of determining Covered Entity’s compliance with the HIPAA Rules, or any other health oversight agency, or to Covered Entity. Records requested that are not protected by an applicable legal privilege will be made available in the time and manner specified by Covered Entity or the Secretary.

9. Notice of Privacy Practices. Business Associate shall abide by the limitations of Covered Entity’s Notice of which it has knowledge. Any use or disclosure permitted by this Addendum may be amended by changes to Covered Entity’s Notice; provided, however, that the amended Notice shall not affect permitted uses and disclosures on which Business Associate relied prior to receiving notice of such amended Notice.

10. Withdrawal of Authorization. If the use or disclosure of PHI in this Addendum is based upon an Individual’s specific authorization for the use or disclosure of his or her PHI, and the Individual revokes such authorization, the effective date of such authorization has expired, or such authorization is found to be defective in any manner that renders it invalid, Business Associate shall, if it has notice of such revocation, expiration, or invalidity, cease the use and disclosure of the Individual’s PHI except to the extent it has relied on such use or disclosure, or if an exception under the Privacy Rule expressly applies.

11. Knowledge of HIPAA Rules. Business Associate agrees to review and understand the HIPAA Rules as it applies to Business Associate, and to comply with the applicable requirements of the HIPAA Rules, as well as any applicable amendments.

12. Security Rule. With regard to PHI which is Electronic PHI (as defined in the Security Rule), Business Associate shall: (i) implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Electronic PHI that Business Associate creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of Covered Entity; (ii) ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom Business Associate provides such information agrees to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect it; (iii) report to Covered Entity any Security Incident (as defined in the Security Rule) of which Business Associate becomes aware. Business Associate’s obligations under this Section are in addition to its obligations under Section D.4. of this Addendum.

5

E. Term and Termination.

6

6. Amendments. This Addendum may not be changed or modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of each of the Parties hereto. The Parties, however, agree to amend this Addendum from time to time as necessary, in order to allow Covered Entity’s to comply with the requirements of the HIPAA Rules and state confidentiality and breach notification laws.

7. Choice of Law. This Addendum and the rights and the obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to applicable conflict of laws principles.

8. Assignment of Rights and Delegation of Duties. This Addendum is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. However, neither Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Addendum without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9. Nature of Addendum. Nothing in this Addendum shall be construed to create (i) a partnership, joint venture or other joint business relationship between the Parties or any of their affiliates, (ii) any fiduciary duty owed by one Party to another Party or any of its affiliates, or (iii) a relationship of employer and employee between the Parties.

10. No Waiver. Failure or delay on the part of either Party to exercise any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof. No provision of this Addendum may be waived by either Party except by a writing signed by an authorized representative of the Party making the waiver.

11. Equitable Relief. Any disclosure or misappropriation of PHI by Business Associate in violation of this Addendum will cause Covered Entity irreparable harm, the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain. Business Associate therefore agrees that Covered Entity shall have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or an order restraining and enjoining Business Associate from any such further disclosure or breach and for such other relief as Covered Entity shall deem appropriate. Such rights are in addition to any other remedies available to Covered Entity at law or in equity. Business Associate expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate, and further waives any requirement in an action for specific performance or injunction for the posting of a bond by Covered Entity.

12. Severability. The provisions of this Addendum shall be severable, and if any provision of this Addendum shall be held or declared to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Addendum shall continue in full force and effect as though such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein.

13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Addendum shall be considered or construed as conferring any right or benefit on a person not party to this Addendum nor imposing any obligations on either Party hereto to persons not a party to this Addendum.

14. Headings. The descriptive headings of the articles, sections, subsections, exhibits and schedules of this Addendum are inserted for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Addendum and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Addendum.

15. Entire Addendum. This Addendum, together with all exhibits, riders and amendments, if applicable, which are fully completed and signed by authorized persons on behalf of both Parties from time to time while this Addendum is in effect, constitutes the entire Addendum between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous written or oral understandings, addendums, negotiations, commitments, and any other writing and communication by or between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any inconsistencies between any provisions of this Addendum in any provisions of the exhibits, riders, or amendments, the provisions of this Addendum shall control.

9

16. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in this Addendum shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits Covered Entity to comply with the HIPAA Rules and any applicable state confidentiality laws. The provisions of this Addendum shall prevail over the provisions of any other Addendum that exists between the Parties that may conflict with, or appear inconsistent with, any provision of this Addendum or the HIPAA Rules.

Recent Events

During the period April 30, 2009 to July 31, 2009, the business operations of each of the Novant Managed Subsidiaries have been conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business, and no actions have been taken which have materially impaired the Working Capital of either of the Novant Managed Subsidiaries. However, during such period, the accounting for a lease for a medical office building entered into on March 1, 2009 between Upstate Carolina Medical Center and a third party was finalized. As a result, the lease was recorded as a capital lease on the balance sheet of Upstate Carolina Medical Center which served to reduce Working Capital by approximately $300,000 as of July 31, 2009.
