WHEREAS, Section 9.01 of the Indenture provides that without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued under the Indenture, the Issuers and the Trustee may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture to make any change that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any such Holder;
WHEREAS, the Issuers propose, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, that certain terms of the Indenture be amended; and

1.Defined Terms. Defined terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

VHS Holdco II shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.03 if Vanguard shall have filed such reports, documents and other information with the Commission using its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Referral System or any successor system.”
Section 6.01(8) of the Indenture is hereby amended to read as follows: “the Guarantee of VHS Holdco I or any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary fails to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days.”
Section 9.01(6) of the Indenture is hereby amended to read as follows: “to add a Guarantee with respect to the Notes;”
Section 10.03 of the Indenture is hereby amended to delete the following sentence: “Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, Vanguard may be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee and shall
1
cease to be a Guarantor for all purposes under this Indenture, at the option of the Issuers and Vanguard at any time following the Issue Date.”
3. Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture.
