Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Loan Agreement.

RECITALS:

A. The Borrowers, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 28, 2010 (as its terms have been amended, modified, waived or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”).

B. Muskogee Regional Medical Center, LLC (“MRMC”) has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May 11, 2012 as amended by an Amendment No.1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2012 (as so amended, the “APA”) and agreements, instruments and documents related thereto (collectively, the “APA Related Documents”), with Muskogee Community Hospital LLC (“MCH”), MCH Management LLC (“Management”), Synergy Healthcare Partners, LLC, Muskogee Community Healthcare, LLC (“Community”) and each of the beneficial owners of the Equity Interests of Management. Management owns 100% of the membership interests of MCH and MCH owns and operates Muskogee Community Hospital, a 45-bed acute care hospital (the “Hospital”) located at 2900 North Main, Muskogee, Oklahoma (the “Facilities”). MRMC’s obligations under the APA are subject to, among other things, obtaining the consent set forth in Section 1.01 hereof.

C. On the Closing Date (as used herein, such term shall have the meaning set forth in the APA) (i) MRMC will purchase from MCH, and MCH will sell to MRMC, substantially all of the assets relating to the ownership and operation of the business operations of the Hospital and all other business operations currently being conducted by MCH at the Facilities (collectively, the “Business”), except for the Real Estate, improvements and Equipment of the Business (collectively, the “Retained Assets”) and certain other excluded assets and MRMC will assume from MCH, and MCH will assign to MRMC, certain of MCH’s obligations and liabilities with respect to the operation of the Business, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of APA (collectively, the “Asset Purchase”); (ii) MRMC will lease from MCH, and MCH will lease to MRMC, the Retained Assets, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Master Lease Agreement (the “Lease”), which will include an option to purchase the Retained Assets exercisable on or about July 20, 2014 at the price set forth on Schedule 11.1 to the Lease and at the end of the initial term or renewal term at fair market value, as more specifically set forth in the Lease (the “Purchase Option”); MRMC’s obligations under the Lease will be unconditionally guarantied by the Company (collectively, the “Transaction”). The Company will also guaranty certain obligations of MRMC under the APA.


D. The Lease will be a true operating lease for tax purposes, but the Company will account for the Lease as a Capital Lease and the incurrence of the obligations under the Lease and the guaranty of such obligations requires consent of the Required Lenders under the terms of the Loan Agreement.

E. The Borrowers and Guarantors have requested that the Required Lenders consent to the execution and delivery of the APA, the consummation of the Transaction and the performance of MRMC’s and the Company’s obligations (i) under the Lease and guaranty thereof; (ii) customary and reasonable indemnification and reimbursement obligations under the APA; and (iii) under the Promissory Note (as defined in the APA) (collectively, the “APA Obligations”).
