WAIVER 
 WAIVER (this
“Waiver”) dated as of July 29, 2013 under the CREDIT AGREEMENT (as heretofore amended, “Credit Agreement”), dated as of November 18, 2011, among HEALTH MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES, INC., a Delaware corporation,
(the “Borrower”), the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower party hereto (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent on behalf of the Lenders under the
Credit Agreement (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and each of the other Lenders party hereto. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings
provided such terms in the Credit Agreement referred to below. 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower has announced that it is considering
strategic alternatives; and 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower is seeking this Waiver to make a clarification to the definition of “Change of
Control” set forth in the Credit Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to a Consent Statement dated July 19, 2013 under
Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act (the “Consent Statement”) Glenview Capital Partners, L.P. (“Glenview”) is soliciting consents from holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the

consented to by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Borrower’s common stock (the “Glenview Nominees”); and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Glenview consent solicitation, the Borrower is seeking a waiver of Section 8.01(l) (“Change of
Control”) of the Credit Agreement to the extent hereinafter provided, 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

Section 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein which is defined in the
Credit Agreement has the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement.  
 Section 2. Limited Waiver. At the
request of the Borrower, the Lenders hereby: 

 (a) agree that the entering by the Borrower into a merger or similar agreement that when
consummated would constitute a Change of Control under clause (a) of the definition thereof does not constitute a Change of Control under clause (c) of the definition thereof at the time of entry into such merger or similar agreement and
agree to waive, on a one time basis and to such limited extent, any Default or Event of Default which would otherwise arise under Section 8.01(l) (“Change of Control”) of the Credit Agreement based on entering into such a merger or
similar agreement (it being understood that the Default or Event of Default which would otherwise arise under Section 8.01(l) upon the consummation of such merger or similar transaction that constitutes a Change of Control under clause
(a) of the definition thereof is not being hereby waived); and 
 (b) waive, on a one time basis, any Default or Event of Default which
would otherwise arise under Section 8.01(l) (“Change of Control”) of the Credit Agreement if the Glenview Nominees named in Proposal 5 in the Consent Statement (or any other persons nominated by Glenview) are elected or appointed as
directors of the Borrower; provided that such Glenview Nominees (or any other persons nominated by Glenview) shall be approved by at least a majority of the current Board either before or promptly after their election or appointment as directors of
the Borrower. 
 The waivers granted pursuant to this Section 2 shall be limited precisely as written, and shall not extend to any
Default or Event of Default under any other provision of the Credit Agreement. 
 Section 3. Representations of the
Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this Waiver, (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article 5 of the Credit Agreement will be true on and as of the date hereof and
(ii) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing on such date. 
 Section 4. Governing
Law. This Waiver shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

Section 5. Counterparts. This Waiver may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with
the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 
 Section 6.
Effectiveness. This Waiver shall become effective on the first date on which (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the Required Lenders and the Borrower (or, in the case of any party as to
which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof 

  
 2 

 
by such party) and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment of (i) a consent fee payable for the account of each Lender that executes a counterpart to this Waiver on or
before 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on July 29, 2013, equal to 0.125% of the sum of the Total Outstandings of such Lender plus the unused Revolving Commitment (if any) of such Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received
payment of all accrued fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with this Waiver (including the fees payable pursuant to the engagement letter entered into with the Borrower on July 27, 2013 relating to this Waiver and the
reasonable and accrued fees of counsel to the Administrative Agent invoiced on or prior to the date hereof) .
