WHEREAS, HCHI and the Principals entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Contribution Agreement dated as of July 1, 2002 ("Amendment No. 1") which revised certain provisions of the Contribution Agreement to modify the dates and the conditions that must be satisfied thereon in order for the transfer of HCHI shares and forgiveness of indebtedness to occur for the transfer of shares of HCHI common stock to the Principals and forgiveness of certain indebtedness of the Principals to HCHI upon the satisfaction of certain conditions related to the financial performance of HCHI measured as of specified "earn-out measuring dates." WHEREAS, Section 6.1 of the Contribution Agreement provides that such agreement may be amended by a written agreement signed by the parties thereto. WHEREAS, HCHI and the Principals each have determined that it is desirable and in their best interests to amend the Contribution Agreement to modify the earn-out provisions to correct and clarify the calculation of the earn-out as set forth below. AMENDMENT In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Amendment and those certain amended and restated employment agreements between HCHI and the Principals entered into on even date herewith, HCHI and the Principals, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows effective as of the Effective Date: 1. Section 2.2.3 of the Contribution Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 2.2.3 Earn-Out. The parties hereto acknowledge that the value of the HCP Preferred is not determinable as of the Closing with absolute certainty and was arrived at based upon discussions between the Principals and the underwriters of HCHI's initial underwritten public offering. To account for the possibility that the HCP Preferred may have a value that is greater than the value of the HCHI Common to be delivered to the Principals at the Closing, the Principals shall be entitled to receive the Earn-Out Shares, and to have the outstanding balances of the loans made to them by HCHI pursuant to Section 2.2.2 and their Loan Agreements forgiven, as provided, and subject to the conditions set forth, in this Section 2.2.3. (i) If the Total Return per Unit as of any Earn-Out Measuring Date equals at least 15% annualized return on the Base Stock Price through such Earn-Out Measuring Date, HCHI shall (A) issue to each Principal his or her Pro Rata Portion of the lesser of (1) one-third (1/3) of the total number of Earn-Out Shares or (2) the number of Earn-Out Shares that have not theretofore been issued pursuant to this Section 2.2.3, and (B) forgive, and discharge such Principal from liability for, an amount of indebtedness of such Principal to HCHI under such Principal's Loan Agreement equal to one-third (1/3) of the principal amount loaned by HCHI to such Principal pursuant to such Loan Agreement. (ii) If the Total Return per Unit as of any Earn-Out Measuring Date is equal to or greater than $9.036 (the Total Return per Unit equal to 15% annualized return of the Base Stock Price compounded for five years), HCHI shall (A) issue to each Principal his or her Pro Rata Portion of the number of Earn-Out Shares that have not theretofore been issued pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 and (B) forgive, and discharge such Principal from liability for, an amount of indebtedness of such Principal to HCHI under such Principal's Loan Agreement equal to the principal amount loaned by HCHI to such Principal pursuant to such Loan Agreement. 7. All other provisions of the Contribution Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 1 remain unchanged. 8. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall be one and the same document.
