(b) Section 2.12(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting this section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

“(b) If on any date the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, on the date of receipt by the Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.12(e); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Term Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event, as set forth in Section 2.12(e); provided further, that no Reinvestment


Notice may be delivered in respect of (i) the $58.0 million of Net Cash Proceeds that are used to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 7.5(h)(i) or (ii) the Net Cash Proceeds from the Pediatric and Home Health Services Disposition that are required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Section 7.5(i). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5.”

(c) Section 7.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended (i) to delete “and” at the end of clause (g) thereof, (ii) to replace the “.” at the end of clause (h) thereof with “; and” and (iii) to insert the following new clause (i):

“(i) the Pediatric and Home Health Services Disposition; provided that not less than 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom are applied to repay the Term Loans on the date of receipt by the Borrower of such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.12(b).”

(d) Section 7.5(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the words “(other than those assets described in Section 7.5(i))” after the words “the Disposition of other assets”.

2. Release

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in reliance on the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth herein and the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, upon the consummation of the Pediatric and Home Health Services Disposition, to execute and deliver to the applicable Guarantors such releases or other documents reasonably necessary for the release of the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent in the assets being disposed of in the Pediatric and Home Health Services Disposition pursuant to Section 8.15(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
