“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Security at any redemption date, the greater of (1) 1.00% of the principal amount of such Security and (2) the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such Security on March 15, 2018 (such redemption price being set forth in paragraph 5 of such Security, exclusive of any accrued interest), plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Security through March 15, 2018 (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), computed using

(E)    sales of damaged, worn-out or obsolete equipment or assets in the ordinary course of business that, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, are no longer either used or useful in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries;
(F)    the sale or discount, in each case without recourse, of accounts receivable arising in the ordinary course of business, but only in connection with the compromise or collection thereof;
(G)    sales of accounts receivable and related assets of the type specified in the definition of “Qualified Receivables Transaction” to a Receivables Entity;

(2)    if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period and as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income actually earned during such period in respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness;

(4)    if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction requiring a calculation to be made hereunder, that constitutes a hospital or other health care-related business or all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period; and
(5)    if since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Asset Disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (3) or (4) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period.
For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company (and shall include any applicable Pro Forma Cost Savings).  If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness).
If any Indebtedness is incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred solely for working capital purposes.
“Consolidated Depreciation Expense” means, for any Person for any period, the depreciation expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period (to the extent included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income of such Person), determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

(8)    interest accruing on any Indebtedness of any other Person to the extent such Indebtedness is Guaranteed by (or secured by the assets of) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and

(B)    the Company’s equity in a net loss of any such Person for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income to the extent such loss has been funded with cash from the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;
(2)    any net income (or loss) of any Person acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary in a pooling of interests transaction (or any transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests) for any period prior to the date of such acquisition;

(B)    to the extent the Company elects (including with respect to the balance of such Net Available Cash after application (if any) in accordance with clause (A)), 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
(C)    to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application (if any) in accordance with clauses (A) and (B), to make an offer to the Holders of the Securities (and to holders of other Senior Indebtedness of the Company designated by the Company) to purchase Securities (and such other Senior Indebtedness of the Company) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture;
provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness made to satisfy clause (A) or (C) above, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.06, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this Section 6.06 except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions which is not applied in accordance with this Section 6.06 exceeds $50,000,000.  Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 6.06, such Net Available Cash shall be invested in Temporary Cash Investments or applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit indebtedness.

For the purposes of this Section 6.06, the following are deemed to be cash or cash equivalents:
(1)    the assumption or discharge of any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities) that are assumed by the transferee of such assets and for which the Company and all of the Restricted Subsidiaries have been released by all creditors in writing;
(2)    securities received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within 180 days into cash, to the extent of cash received in that conversion;
(3)    all Temporary Cash Investments; and
(4)    any Designated Noncash Consideration having an aggregate Fair Market Value that, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration previously received and then outstanding, does not exceed at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) $30,000,000.
(b)    In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness of the Company) pursuant to Section 6.06(a)(3)(C), the Company shall purchase Securities tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Securities (and such other Senior Indebtedness) (the “Offer”) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior Indebtedness of the Company was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect of such other Senior Indebtedness of the Company, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture.  If the aggregate purchase price of the securities tendered pursuant to the Offer exceeds the Net Available Cash allotted to their purchase, the Company shall select the securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in round denominations, which in the case of the Securities will be denominations of $2,000 principal amount or any greater integral multiple of $1,000.  The Company shall not be required to make such an Offer to purchase Securities (and other Senior Indebtedness of the Company) pursuant to this Section 6.06 if the Net Available Cash available therefor is less than $20,000,000 (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether such an offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition).  Upon completion of such an Offer, Net Available Cash shall be deemed to be reduced by the aggregate amount of such Offer.
(c)    (i)  Promptly, and in any event within 10 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and send, by first-class mail (or with respect to Global Securities, to the extent permitted or required by applicable Depositary procedures or regulations, send electronically) to each Holder, a written notice stating that the Holder may elect to have his Securities purchased by the Company either in whole or in part (subject to prorating as described in Section 6.06(b) in the event the Offer is oversubscribed) in amounts of $2,000 and any greater integral multiple of $1,000 of principal amount at the applicable purchase price.  The notice shall specify a purchase date not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (the “Purchase Date”).
(ii)    Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided below, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (A) the amount of the Offer (the “Offer Amount”), including information as to any other Senior Indebtedness included in the Offer for repurchase, (B) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the Asset Dispositions pursuant to which such Offer is being made and (C) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 6.06(a).  By 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Purchase Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an 

32








amount equal to the Offer Amount to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.06.  Upon the expiration of the period for which the Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions thereof which have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company.  The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the Purchase Date, mail or deliver payment (or cause the delivery of payment) to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price.  In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Securities delivered by the Company to the Trustee is less than the Offer Amount applicable to the Securities, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 6.06.
(iii)    Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date.  A Holder shall be entitled to withdraw its election if the Trustee or the Company receives, not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of the Security that was delivered for purchase by such Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased.  Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.
(iv)    At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.06.  A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.
(d)    The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.06.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 6.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 6.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(1)    the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and
(2)    if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $50,000,000, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the non-employee directors of the Company disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (1) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors.
 (b)    The provisions of Section 6.07(a) shall not prohibit:
(1)    any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) or other Restricted Payment, in each case permitted to be made pursuant to Section 6.04;

(6)    the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company;
(7)    any agreement as in effect on the Issue Date or any renewals or extensions of any such agreement (so long as such renewals or extensions are not less favorable in any material respect to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries) and the transactions evidenced thereby;

SECTION 6.08.  Change of Control.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with Section 6.08(b).

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Securities pursuant to the optional redemption provisions hereof, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Securities.”

“ARTICLE XII
Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance
SECTION 12.01.  Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.
(a)    When (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 3.07) for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the mailing or sending of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article IV hereof and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient, or U.S. Government Obligations the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 3.07), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 12.01(c), cease to be of further effect.  The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent set forth herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied, and at the cost and expense of the Company.
(b)    Subject to Sections 12.01(c) and 12.02, the Company at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) its obligations under Sections 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, 6.07, 6.08, 6.09, 6.10 and 6.11 and the operation of Sections 7.01(e), 7.01(f), 7.01(g) and 7.01(h) (but, in the case of Sections 7.01(e) and (f), with respect to Subsidiary Guarantors and Significant Subsidiaries only) and the limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(3) (“covenant defeasance option”).  The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.
If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.  If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 7.01(e), 7.01(f), 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) (but, in the case of Sections 7.01(e) and (f), with respect to Subsidiary Guarantors and Significant Subsidiaries only) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(3).  If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, shall be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee.
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.
(c)    Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 3.04, 3.06, 3.07 and 6.12 and in this Article XII shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 11.01, 12.04 and 12.05 shall survive.
SECTION 12.02.  Conditions to Defeasance.  The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:
(1)    the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be;
(2)    the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal of and interest when due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

39








(3)    123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123 day period no Default specified in Section 7.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;
(4)    the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company;
(5)    the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;
(6)    in the case of the legal defeasance option, 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 Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;
(7)    in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and
(8)    the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article XII have been complied with.
Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article IV.
SECTION 12.03.  Application of Trust Money.  The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article XII.  It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities.
SECTION 12.04.  Repayment to Company.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.
Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.
SECTION 12.05.  Indemnity for Government Obligations.  The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.
SECTION 12.06.  Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, each Subsidiary Guarantee and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article XII; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or 

40








interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.”
SECTION 4.09.    Amendment of Article XIII of Base Indenture.
Section 13.01 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended and restated, but only with respect to the Securities, to read in its entirety as follows:
“SECTION 13.01.  No Personal Liability.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities, any Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  By accepting a Security, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability.  The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.”
SECTION 4.10.    Amendment of Article XIV of Base Indenture.  (a)  Sections 14.01 and 14.02 of the Base Indenture are hereby amended and restated, but only with respect to the Securities, to read in their entirety as follows:
“SECTION 14.01.  Without Consent of Holders.  The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Holder:
(1)  to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(2)  to comply with Article V;
(3)  to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, that the uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;
(4)  to add Guarantees with respect to the Securities, including any Subsidiary Guaranties, or to secure the Securities;

(6)  to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;
(7)  to conform the text of this Indenture or the Securities to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Prospectus Supplement to the extent that such provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Prospectus Supplement was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Securities;
(8)  to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, this Indenture under the TIA; or
(9)  to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Securities; provided, however, that (A) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (B) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Securities.

41








After an amendment under this Section 14.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail (or with respect to Global Securities, to the extent permitted or required by applicable Depositary procedures or regulations, send electronically) to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 14.01.
SECTION 14.02.  With Consent of Holders.  (a)  The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, but only with respect to the Securities, or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange for, the Securities) and any past Default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not:
(1)  reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment;
(2)  reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security;
(3)  reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security;
(4)  (i) reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any Security or (ii) change the time at which any Security may be redeemed, in each case in accordance with Article IV;
(5)  make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security;
(6)  impair the right of any Holder of the Securities to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities;
(7)  make any change in the amendment provisions that require each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions;
(8)  make any change in the ranking or priority of any Security that would adversely affect the Securityholders; or
(9)  make any change in, or release other than in accordance with this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee that would adversely affect the Securityholders.
(b)  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 14.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment under this Section 14.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail (or with respect to Global Securities, to the extent permitted or required by applicable Depositary procedures or regulations, send electronically) to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 14.02.”
(b)    Article XIV of the Base Indenture is hereby amended, but only with respect to the Securities, by the addition of the following new Sections 14.07 and 14.08:
“SECTION 14.07.  Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.  A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if 

42








notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.
SECTION 14.08.  Payment for Consent.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.”
SECTION 4.11. Amendment of Base Indenture.  The Base Indenture is hereby amended, but only with respect to the Securities, (a) by replacing cross-references to Sections and Articles therein to reflect the re-numbering of such Sections and Articles as amended herein and (b) so that any definitions, and any definitions included exclusively within such definitions, in the Base Indenture shall be deemed deleted or amended when all references in the Base Indenture to such definitions would be eliminated or amended as a result of the amendments effected by this Supplemental Indenture.
ARTICLE V
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES
SECTION 5.01.    Guarantees.  (a)  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound under this Article V notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.
(b)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations.  The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under the Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 5.06, any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

43








Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(c)    Except as expressly set forth in Sections 5.02, 5.05, 5.06 and 12.01(b), the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
(d)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.
(e)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (A) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII of the Indenture for the purposes of any Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (B) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VII of the Indenture, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 5.01.
(f)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 5.01.
SECTION 5.02.    Limitation on Liability.  Any term or provision of the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
SECTION 5.03.    Successors and Assigns.  This Article V shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.

44








SECTION 5.04.    No Waiver.  Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article V shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article V at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 5.05.    Modification.  No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article V, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 5.06.    Release of Subsidiary Guarantor.  A Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released from its obligations under this Article V:
(1) upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor, including the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company; or
(2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor;
in each case other than to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company and as permitted by the Indenture and if in connection therewith the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that the Company shall comply with its obligations under Section 6.06 in respect of such disposition.  Upon any sale or disposition described in clause (1) or (2) above, the obligor on the related Subsidiary Guarantee will be released from its obligations thereunder.  
The Subsidiary Guarantor also will be automatically released from its obligations under this Article V:
(1) upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(3) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option as described in Article XII of  the Indenture or if the Company’s obligations under the Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]
5.125% Senior Note Due 2023
1.     Interest
HealthSouth Corporation, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.  The Company shall pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing                  .  Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from               .  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Security plus 1.0% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.
2.     Method of Payment
The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository.  The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).
3.     Paying Agent and Registrar
Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice.  The Company or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.
4.     Indenture
The Company issued the Securities under the fifth supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of March 12, 2015, to the indenture dated as of December 1, 2009 (together with the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”).  Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms.
The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company.  The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 6.03 of the Indenture, to issue Additional Securities pursuant to Section 3.14 of the Indenture.  The Securities issued on the Issue Date, and any Additional Securities, will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture.  The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase capital stock; make investments; issue or sell capital stock of subsidiaries; engage in transactions with affiliates; create liens on assets; 

A-3

On and after March 15, 2018, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on March 15 of the years set forth below:
	
		
	Period
	Redemption Price

	March 15, 2018
	103.844%

	March 15, 2019
	102.563%

	March 15, 2020
	101.281%

	March 15, 2021 and thereafter
	100.000%






In addition, prior to March 15, 2018, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 105.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings; provided, however, that (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Securities (which includes Additional Securities, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Securities held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the related Equity Offering.
Prior to March 15, 2018, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).  
6.     Notice of Redemption
Notice of redemption will be mailed (or with respect to Global Securities, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically) at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his registered address.  Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000.  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.
7.     Put Provisions
Upon a Change of Control, any Holder of Securities will have the right to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued interest to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on 

A-4








the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.
8.     Guarantee
The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest on, the Securities is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.
9.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange
The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any greater integral multiple of $1,000.  A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.
10.     Persons Deemed Owners
Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, the registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
11.     Unclaimed Money
If money for the payment of principal or interest on any Securities remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request at the end of the two years after such principal or interest has become due or payable, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.  After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company as general creditors and not to the Trustee for payment.
12.     Discharge and Defeasance
Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.
13.     Amendment, Waiver
Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture and the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities and (b) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Securities.  Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee shall be entitled to amend the Indenture or the Securities to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article V of the Indenture, or to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, or to add guarantees with respect to the Securities, including Subsidiary Guarantees, or to add additional covenants or surrender rights and powers conferred on the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, or to conform the text of the Indenture or the Securities to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Prospectus Supplement under certain circumstances, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualifying the Indenture under the Act, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder, or to make amendments to provisions of the Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and legending of the Securities.

A-5








14.     Defaults and Remedies
Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (b) default in payment of principal on the Securities at maturity, upon redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, upon acceleration or otherwise, or failure by the Company to redeem or purchase Securities when required; (c) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $50 million; (e) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary; (f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $50 million against the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary; and (g) certain defaults with respect to Subsidiary Guarantees.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately.  Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.
Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Securityholders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.
15.     Trustee Dealings with the Company
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Co-Registrar or Co-Paying Agent may do the same with like rights.
16.     No Recourse Against Others
A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.  By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.
17.     Authentication
This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

19.     CUSIP Numbers
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders.  No representation is made as to the accuracy 

A-6








of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
20.     Governing Law
THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
