EXECUTION VERSION

LOAN MODIFICATION AGREEMENT dated as of August 22, 2012 (this “Agreement”), among CHS/COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on the signature pages hereto, the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) and CREDIT SUISSE AG (“CS”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 25, 2007, as amended and restated as of November 5, 2010, and February 2, 2012 and as amended as of August 3, 2012 (as the same may be further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Parent, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and CS, as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent.

Pursuant to Section 2.25(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower made, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Non-Extended Funded Term Loan Lender, a Loan Modification Offer to all of the Non-Extended Funded Term Loan Lenders to make certain Permitted Amendments as described herein and therein.

The Lenders party hereto (the “Accepting Lenders”) are willing to agree to such Permitted Amendments as of the Loan Modification Effective Date (as defined below), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. (a) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein (including the Preliminary Statement hereto) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement. The provisions of Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. This Agreement shall be a “Loan Document” and a “Loan Modification Agreement” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) The Non-Extended Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Loan Modification Effective Date are referred to herein as “Existing Non-Extended Term Loans”.

SECTION 2. Loan Modifications. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, as of the Loan Modification Effective Date, each Accepting Lender agrees that (i) 100% of its Existing Non-Extended Term Loans or (ii) such lesser principal amount of its Existing Non-Extended Term Loans as may be

specified by such Accepting Lender on its executed counterpart of this Agreement will be converted into Extended Term Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of like outstanding principal amount, provided that, in the event that the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Non-Extended Term Loans which Accepting Lenders agree to convert into Extended Term Loans in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) (such Existing Non-Extended Term Loans being referred to herein as the “Designated Existing Non-Extended Term Loans”) is greater than $300,000,000, the Borrower may (but shall not be obligated to) elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, to cause less than all (but not less than $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount) of the Designated Existing Non-Extended Term Loans to become Extended Term Loans, such allocation to be made on a pro rata basis among the Accepting Lenders, such that the same proportion of each Accepting Lender’s Designated Existing Non-Extended Term Loans is so converted into Extended Term Loans (such election, a “Pro Rata Allocation Election”).

(b) The Existing Non-Extended Term Loans of any Lender that are not converted into Extended Term Loans shall, following the Loan Modification Effective Date, continue to be in effect and outstanding under the Credit Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth therein, as “Non-Extended Funded Term Loans”.

(c) The parties hereto hereby agree that (i) the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the Accepting Lenders, is authorized to take such actions as are necessary to ensure that the Existing Non-Extended Term Loans converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement are included within the Borrowings of Extended Term Loans outstanding on the Loan Modification Effective Date on a ratable basis (calculated by reference to the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowings of Extended Term Loans outstanding on the Loan Modification Effective Date) and (ii) no breakage or similar costs will accrue solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.

(d) The terms and conditions of the Non-Extended Term Loans extended pursuant to this Agreement shall be identical to those of the Extended Term Loans as set forth in the Credit Agreement; provided that, beginning with the Extended Term Loan Repayment Date falling on the last Business Day of September 2012, for purposes of calculating the amount of the repayment due with respect to Extended Term Loans on each Extended Term Loan Repayment Date pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, the aggregate principal amount of all Extended Term Loans outstanding on the First Restatement Effective Date shall include both the aggregate principal amount of the Non-Extended Term Loans that were converted to Extended Term Loans on the Second Restatement Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Non-Extended Term Loans converted to Extended Term Loans on the Loan Modification Effective Date pursuant to this Agreement, in each case as if such Non-Extended Term Loans had been converted to Extended Term Loans on the First Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. Each of Parent, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to each other party hereto that:

(a) The representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Loan Modification Effective Date as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

(b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) None of the Security Documents in effect on the Loan Modification Effective Date will be rendered invalid, non-binding or unenforceable against any Loan Party as a result of this Agreement. The Guarantees created under such Security Documents will continue to guarantee the Obligations (as the Obligations are modified hereunder) to the same extent as they guaranteed the Obligations immediately prior to the Loan Modification Effective Date. The Liens created under such Security Documents will continue to secure the Obligations (as the Obligations are modified hereunder), and will continue to be perfected, in each case, to the same extent as they secured the Obligations or were perfected immediately prior to the Loan Modification Effective Date.

SECTION 4. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on and as of the date on which each of the following conditions precedent is satisfied (such date, the “Loan Modification Effective Date”):

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof duly executed and delivered by Parent, the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Accepting Lender.

3

attached thereto is a true and complete copy of resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors (or equivalent thereof) of such Loan Party authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which such person is a party, and that such resolutions have not been modified, rescinded or amended and are in full force and effect and (C) as to the incumbency and specimen signature of each officer executing this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith on behalf of such Loan Party; (iii) a certificate of another officer as to the incumbency and specimen signature of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary executing the certificate pursuant to clause (ii) above; and (iv) such other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Such fees shall be payable in immediately available funds and, once paid, shall not be refundable in whole or in part.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the parties hereto of the Loan Modification Effective Date and such notice shall be conclusive and binding.

SECTION 5. Reaffirmation; Further Assurances. (a) Each of Parent, the Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors identified on the signature pages hereto (collectively, Parent, the Borrower and such Subsidiary Guarantors, the “Reaffirming Loan Parties”) hereby acknowledges that it expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Reaffirming Loan Party hereby consents to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby confirms its respective guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, such guarantees, pledges and grants of security interests shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall accrue to the benefit of the

SECTION 6. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Loan Documents (including the preparation of this Agreement), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
