Section 3.2. Sinking Fund

The Company is not required to make mandatory sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.3. Offer to Purchase by Application of Balance in Net Available Cash

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (and to holders of other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt) to purchase Notes (and such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt) (an “Asset Disposition Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Disposition Offer shall be made to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt. The Asset Disposition Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply the Net Available Cash available for the Asset Disposition Offer (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt tendered in response to the Asset Disposition Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Disposition Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders and each of the holders of other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such holders to tender Notes and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer, will state:

(1) that the Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.3 and Section 4.6 hereof and the length of time the Asset Disposition Offer will remain open;

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer may elect to have Notes purchased only in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Disposition Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(7) that holders of Notes and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note or other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt the holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note or other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt purchased;

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.3. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.3, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Article Eleven of the Existing Indenture.

Section 3.4. AHYDO Payments

If the Notes would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, and if Section 163(e)(5) of the Code applies to the Notes, then at the end of each accrual period ending after the fifth anniversary of the issue date of such notes (the “AHYDO Payment Date”), the Company will be required to redeem for cash a portion of the principal of each such note equal to the amount necessary to avoid the application of Section 163(e)(5) of the Code. No payment pursuant to any other provisions of this Indenture will alter the Company’s obligation to make any such payment with respect to any Notes that remain outstanding on the AHYDO Payment Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any of its Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, provided that the aggregate Attributable Debt in respect of all such Sale and Lease-Back Transactions does not exceed the greater of (x) $500.0 million and (y) 5% of Consolidated Total Assets.

Section 4.3. Limitations on Issuances of Guarantees by Subsidiaries

The Company will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to Guarantee any Debt of the Company, unless at the time of and after giving effect to the issuance of such Guarantee, the aggregate amount of all such guaranteed Debt (including the aggregate principal amount of Notes and 6-Year Notes outstanding at such time) shall not exceed the greater of (x) $4.2 billion or (y) 5.0 times the aggregate amount of EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of determination; provided that, unless the Notes are secured by substantially all the property and assets (other than accounts receivable and cash) of the Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all such Debt guaranteed by Guarantees that are not subordinated to the Guarantees of the Notes (including the aggregate principal amount of Notes and 6-Year Notes outstanding at such time) shall not exceed the greater of (a) $2.6 billion and (b) 3.0 times the aggregate amount of EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of determination. The foregoing restriction will not prohibit the issuance of Guarantees by any of our Subsidiaries in respect of Permitted Credit Agreement Debt.

Section 4.4. Additional Note Guarantees

The Company shall cause each newly created or acquired direct or indirect Subsidiary organized in a jurisdiction in the United States that (i) owns or operates a hospital or (ii) has a direct or indirect equity interest in a Subsidiary that owns or operates a hospital, other than, in each of the cases (i) and (ii), any such Subsidiary that is a non-wholly-owned Subsidiary if the organizational documents thereof or related joint venture or similar agreements, or applicable law, would (A) prohibit the Guarantee of the Notes without the consent of the equity holders thereof (other than the Company or its wholly owned Subsidiaries) or (B) upon the making of such Guarantee, trigger in favor of the equity holders thereof (other than the Company or its wholly owned Subsidiaries) rights in respect of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture. The form of such Note Guarantee is attached as Exhibit E hereto.

Section 4.5. SEC Reports

If at any time the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue to file with the Commission for public availability within the time periods that would have been applicable if the Company were subject to such reporting requirements:

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports; and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

All such reports shall be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K shall include a report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries by the Company’s certified independent accountants.

Section 4.6. Asset Dispositions

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:

(1) the Company or such Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in such Asset Disposition by the Company or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents;

(3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be:

(A) to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt), to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Senior Debt of the Company or of a Guarantor or Debt of a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (in each case other than Debt owed to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries) within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; or

(B) to the extent the Company elects, to acquire Additional Assets within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; and

(4) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (3)(A) or (3)(B) above, such balance is applied by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, to make an Asset Disposition Offer to the Holders of the Notes (and to holders of other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt) to purchase Notes (and such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Section and Section 3.3 hereof;

provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of debt pursuant to clause (3)(A) or (4) above, the Company or such Subsidiary shall permanently retire such debt and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; provided, further, however, that, in the case of clause (3)(B) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “acceptable commitment”); provided, further that if any acceptable commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall be applied pursuant to clause (4) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Company and such Subsidiaries will not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with the preceding paragraph except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions subject to the preceding paragraph which is not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph exceeds $100.0 million. Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 4.6, such Net Available Cash may be used in any other manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

For purposes of this Section 4.6, the following are deemed to be cash or cash equivalents:

(1) the assumption or discharge of debt or other liabilities of ours or any Subsidiary and the release of us or such Subsidiary from all liability on such debt or other liability in connection with such Asset Disposition;

(2) securities or other obligations received by us or any Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by us or such Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the Asset Disposition, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

(3) Additional Assets.

In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Notes (and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt), the Company will purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer by the Company for the Notes (and such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any (or, in respect of such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt, such other price, not to exceed 100%, as may be provided for by the terms of such other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of

oversubscription) set forth in Section 3.3 hereof. If there remains a balance of Net Available Cash after purchasing all securities tendered, then such balance may be used in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the securities tendered exceeds the Net Available Cash allotted to their purchase, the Company will select the securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in round denominations, which in the case of the Notes will be denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall not be required to make such an Asset Disposition Offer to purchase Notes (and other First-Priority Stock Secured Debt) pursuant to this Section 4.6 if the Net Available Cash available therefor is less than $100.0 million (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether such an Asset Disposition Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). Upon completion of such an Asset Disposition Offer, Net Available Cash will be deemed to be reduced by the aggregate amount of such Asset Disposition Offer.

The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.6. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof or this Section 4.6, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.3 hereof or this Section 4.6 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.7. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.7 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of

Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.7, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.7 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note issued for surrendered but unpurchased Notes will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.7, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.7 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Section 4.7, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control Offer.

(e) The Company may, with respect to the Notes, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in this Section 4.7, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or effect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall

remain in full force and effect. No supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby, modify any of the provisions of this Section 4.7(e), except to increase the percentage required to waive compliance by the Company of the covenants referenced here, provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section 4.7(e).

(2) In the event of an election to have Section 6.2 apply to the Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to the Notes and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

(3) In the event of an election to have this Section 6.3 apply to the Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Notes and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

(4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Notes, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit.

(5) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 5.1(6) and (7), at any time on or prior to the 90^th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90^th day).

(6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act).

(7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound.

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Without the consent of Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not modify the Pledge Agreement, any other Stock Lien Security Document relating to the Notes or any of the provisions of the Indenture dealing with the pledge or the application of trust moneys, or otherwise release any Collateral, in any manner materially adverse to the Holders other than in accordance with the Indenture, the Pledge Agreement or the applicable Stock Lien Security Document.

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 8.1. Equal and Ratable Sharing of Collateral by Holders of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt

The First-Priority Stock Lien Representative of each future Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt shall be required to deliver a Collateral Trust Joinder to the Collateral Trustee at the time of incurrence of such Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt, and the Company shall promptly provide the Trustee with a copy of each such Collateral Trust Joinder; provided, however, that the failure to so deliver a copy of such Collateral Trust Joinder to the Trustee shall not affect the status of such future Debt as First-Priority Stock Secured Debt if the other requirements contained in the Collateral Trust Agreement in connection with the incurrence of additional Secured Debt are complied with.

(b) As provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Liens securing the Junior Stock Secured Obligations, if any, are subject and subordinate to the Liens securing the First-Priority Stock Secured Obligations.

(c) The Notes are, and any other Stock Secured Debt permitted to be incurred after the date of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture will be, secured by First-Priority Stock Liens on the Collateral, which consists of the Capital Stock of each of the Company’s Domestic Hospital Subsidiaries. To the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurs any Debt (other than Permitted Credit Agreement Debt) that is secured by a first priority or junior Lien on any property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries other than the Collateral, the Company will cause the Notes to be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Debt and such Liens will be subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement; provided that the Other Secured Debt is not subject to the equal and ratable security requirement in this sentence.

Section 8.2. Stock Lien Security Documents

The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at Maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest and Special Interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Holders of Notes or the Trustee under the Indenture

and the Notes, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Stock Lien Security Documents which the Company and the Pledgors have entered into in connection with the execution of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture. Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Stock Lien Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and authorizes and directs the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Stock Lien Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Stock Lien Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Stock Lien Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Stock Lien Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of the Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Company will take, and will cause its Subsidiaries to take any and all actions reasonably required under applicable law to cause the Stock Lien Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Company hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected first priority Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Prior Liens).

Each Holder of the Notes, by acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorizes the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Holders, to be the agent for and representative of the Holders with respect to the Note Guarantees, the Collateral and the Stock Lien Security Documents.

Anything contained in any of the Note Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Holder hereby agrees that no Holder or the Trustee shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies of the Trustee hereunder may be exercised solely by the Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral under the Stock Lien Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee and its agents.

Section 8.3. Release of Security Interests

(a) In accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement or as provided hereby, the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will be released:

(1) in whole, upon (A) payment in full and discharge of all outstanding Stock Secured Debt and all other Stock Secured Obligations that are outstanding, due and payable at the time all of the Stock Secured Debt is paid in full and discharged and (B) termination or expiration of all commitments to extend credit under all Stock Secured Debt Documents and the cancellation or termination or cash collateralization (at the lower of (1) 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount and (2) the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable Stock Secured Debt Documents) of all outstanding letters of credit, if any, issued pursuant to any Stock Secured Debt Documents;

(2) as to any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any other Pledgor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Company or a Guarantor in a transaction or other circumstance that does not violate Section 4.6 hereof and is not prohibited by any of the other Stock Secured Debt Documents, at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition or to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided, that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will not be released if the sale or disposition is subject to Section 801 of the Existing Indenture or Section 9.4 hereof;

(3) as to any Collateral constituting pledged Capital Stock of a Subsidiary of the Company, upon liquidation and dissolution of that Subsidiary in a transaction that is not prohibited by any of the Stock Secured Debt Documents;

(4) as to any Collateral owned by a Guarantor, upon the release of that Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Stock Secured Debt Documents;

(5) as to a release of any or all of the Collateral, if (A) consent to release of that Collateral has been given by the requisite percentage or number of holders of each Series of Stock Secured Debt at the time outstanding as provided for in the applicable Stock Secured Debt Documents and (B) the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Collateral Trustee certifying that any such necessary consents have been obtained; and

(6) as otherwise permitted by the Indenture and each other Stock Secured Debt Document.

(b) With respect to the Notes, the Collateral Trustee’s First-Priority Stock Lien upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under the Indenture or any other Obligations in respect of such Notes under the Indenture, and the right of the Holders of Notes and such Obligations to the benefits and Proceeds of the Collateral Trustee’s First-Priority Stock Lien on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged:

(1) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as set forth under Article Four of the Existing Indenture;

(2) upon a Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes as set forth under Article Six hereof;

(3) upon payment in full and discharge of all Notes outstanding under the Indenture and all Obligations in respect of such Notes that are outstanding, due and payable under the Indenture at the time the Notes are paid in full and discharged; or

(4) in whole or in part, with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of the Notes then outstanding in accordance with Article Nine of the Existing Indenture, as supplemented by Article Seven of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture.

In addition the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to the release of such First-Priority Stock Liens have been satisfied.

Section 8.4. Additional First-Priority Stock Secured Debt

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture and the other Stock Lien Security Documents, the Company may incur additional First-Priority Stock Secured Debt by issuing Additional Notes under the Indenture or issuing or increasing any other Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt. All additional First-Priority Stock Secured Debt will be pari passu with the Notes and will be secured by the Collateral equally and ratably with the Notes for as long as the Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by the Collateral. The additional First-Priority Stock Secured Debt will only be permitted to be secured by the Collateral if such Debt and the related Liens are permitted to be incurred under the Indenture, including Section 4.1 hereof.

The Collateral Trust Agreement sets forth the procedures pursuant to which an additional series of Debt can become an additional Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt that is entitled to be secured equally and ratably with the Notes by the Liens on the Collateral granted to the Collateral Trustee. The Indenture and all future First-Priority Stock Lien Documents will be required to provide that, notwithstanding (i) anything to the contrary contained in the Stock Lien Security Documents; (ii) the time of incurrence of any Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt; (iii) the order or method of attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt; (iv) the time or order of filing or recording of financing statements or other documents filed or recorded to perfect any Lien upon any Collateral; (v) the time of taking possession or control over any Collateral; (vi) that any First-Priority Stock Lien may not have been perfected or may be or have become subordinated, by equitable subordination or otherwise, to any other Lien; or (vii) the rules for determining priority under any law governing relative priorities of Liens:

(1) all First-Priority Stock Liens granted at any time by the Company or any other Pledgor secure, equally and ratably, all present and future First-Priority Stock Secured Obligations; and

(2) all Proceeds of all First-Priority Stock Liens granted at any time by the Company or any other Pledgor will be allocated and distributed equally and ratably on account of the First-Priority Stock Secured Debt and other First-Priority Stock Secured Obligations.

The First-Priority Stock Lien Representative of each future Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt shall be required to deliver a Collateral Trust Joinder to the Collateral Trustee at the time of incurrence of such Series of First-Priority Stock Secured Debt, and the Company shall promptly provide the Trustee with a copy of each such Collateral Trust Joinder; provided, however, that the failure to so deliver a copy of such Collateral Trust Joinder to the Trustee shall not affect the status of such future Debt as First-Priority Stock Secured Debt if the other requirements contained in the Collateral Trust Agreement in connection with the incurrence of additional Secured Debt are complied with.

The Company may also incur new or additional Junior Stock Secured Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement.

Section 8.5. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act

The Company shall comply with the provisions of TIA §314. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee the Opinion of Counsel required in accordance with TIA § 314(b) by no later than March 3 of each year commencing March 3, 2010.

(a) To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause TIA §313(b), relating to reports, and TIA §314(d), relating to the release of property or securities or relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien of the Stock Lien Security Documents, to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA §314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company except in cases where TIA §314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.5(a), the Company shall not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA §314(d) if it determines, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of TIA §314(d) and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the Commission and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA §314(d) is inapplicable to one or a series of released Collateral.

Section 8.6. Collateral Trustee

(a) The Company has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. to serve as the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of, among others, the Holders of the Notes and the Holders of future Stock Secured Obligations.

(b) The Collateral Trustee (directly or through co-trustees or agents) will hold, and will be entitled to enforce, all Liens on the Collateral created by the Stock Lien Security Documents.

(c) Except as provided in the Stock Lien Security Documents, Collateral Trust Agreement or as directed by an Act of Required Stock Secured Debtholders, the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated:

(1) to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any Person in respect of the Collateral;

(2) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien on the Collateral; or

(3) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Stock Lien Security Documents, the Liens created thereby or the Collateral.

Section 8.7. Further Assurances

(a) The Company and each of the other Pledgors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the holders of Stock Secured Obligations, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the date hereof), in each case as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Stock Secured Debt Documents.

(b) The Company and each of the Pledgors shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as may be reasonably required to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Stock Secured Debt Documents for the benefit of the holders of Stock Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE NINE

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 9.1. Guarantee

(a) Subject to this Article Nine, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their Obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.

(c) If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the Maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five of the Existing Indenture (as amended hereby) for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article Five of the Existing Indenture (as amended hereby), such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 9.2. Limitation on Guarantor Liability

By its execution of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Nine, result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 9.3. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.1 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Tenth Supplemental Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.1 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Tenth Supplemental Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Tenth Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Section 9.4. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.5 hereof, no Guarantor shall, and the Company will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, and no Guarantor shall, and the Company will not permit any Guarantor to, permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into such Guarantor or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to such Guarantor, unless:

(1) subject to Section 9.5 hereof, either such Guarantor shall be the surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger or the resultant or successor corporation shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the Obligations of such Guarantor under the Indenture and such Guarantor’s Guarantee; and

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same

effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Section 9.5. Releases

(a) Upon the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations under the Indenture and the Notes, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any Obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b) In the event of any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that is not prohibited by the Indenture, then such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net Available Cash from such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.6 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.6 hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required and provided to it in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(c) Upon liquidation and dissolution of any Guarantor in a transaction that is not prohibited by the Indenture, such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(d) Upon Defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Article Six hereof or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Article Four of the Existing Indenture, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 9.5 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in this Article Nine.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of , 20 , among (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Tenet Healthcare Corporation (or its permitted successor), a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of November 6, 2001 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as predecessor trustee to the Trustee, as supplemented by the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 3, 2009 (the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of 10.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 901 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article Nine of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture.

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
