            Re:  Amendment to Commitment Letter
                 ------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            Reference is made to that certain letter (the "Commitment Letter"),
dated June 12, 2000, from Ableco Finance LLC, Appaloosa Investment Limited
Partnership I, Franklin Mutual Advisers LLC, Van Kampen Prime Rate Income Trust,
Van Kampen Senior Floating Rate Fund and Van Kampen Senior Income Trust
(collectively, the "Underwriting Lenders") to Vencor, Inc. and the other
Borrowers under the Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of September
13, 1999 (as heretofore amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the
"Existing DIP Credit Agreement").  All capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Commitment
Letter.

            Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Underwriting Lenders agreed
to restructure the credit facilities available under the Existing DIP Credit
Agreement on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth therein. The
Commitment Letter states that the Underwriting Lenders' commitments to provide
the Borrowers with the DIP Facility shall terminate on August 31, 2000 unless on
or before such date, the Borrowers (i) shall have obtained from the Court
authorization to execute and deliver the Commitment Letter (and the Term Sheet)
and to pay the fees described in the Term Sheet and (ii) shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Arranger, the Underwriting Lenders
and such other Persons as may be entitled thereto, as the case may be, the
arranging fees and the financing fees described in the Term Sheet which are due
and payable upon Court approval of the Commitment Letter. The Commitment Letter
further provides that the DIP Facility referred to therein shall in no event be
available unless the Effective Date shall have occurred on or prior to September
30, 2000.

            The Borrowers have requested that the Underwriting Lenders agree to
extend (a) the date by which Court authorization must be obtained to execute and
deliver the Commitment
<PAGE>

Letter (and the Term Sheet) and to pay the fees described in the Term Sheet, and
to pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Arranger, the
Underwriting Lenders and such other Persons as may be entitled thereto, as the
case may be, the arranging fees and the financing fees described in the Term
Sheet which are due and payable upon court approval thereof, from August 31,
2000 through and including October 31, 2000, and (b) the date by which the
Effective Date must occur from September 30, 2000 through and including
October 31, 2000.

          The Underwriting Lenders have agreed to the Borrowers request to
extend such dates on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein.
Therefore, from and after the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), (a)
the reference to the date "August 31, 2000" contained in the first sentence of
the next to last paragraph of the Commitment Letter is hereby deleted and
replaced with the date "October 31, 2000," and (b) the reference to the date
"September 30, 2000" contained in each of the last sentence of the next to last
paragraph of the Commitment Letter and in the Term Sheet under the heading
"Effective Date" is hereby deleted and replaced with the date "October 31,
2000."  In addition, the reference to the date "July 18, 2000" contained in the
last sentence under the heading "Covenants" in the Term Sheet is hereby deleted
and replaced with the phrase "the date contemplated therefore under the Existing
DIP Facility, as amended".

          On and after the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), each
reference in the Commitment Letter to "this letter agreement", "hereunder",
"hereof", "herein" or words of like import referring to the Commitment Letter,
shall mean and be a reference to the Commitment Letter as amended by this letter
(the "Amended Commitment Letter").

          The amendments set forth above shall be limited precisely as written,
and nothing in this letter shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that
the Administrative Agent or any Underwriting Lender may now have or may have in
the future under or in connection with the Commitment Letter.  Except as
specifically amended by this letter, the Commitment Letter shall remain in full
force and effect.

          This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  This letter shall
become effective (the date of such effectiveness being the "Amendment Effective
Date") upon the earliest date on or prior to August 31, 2000 that the Borrowers
and Underwriting Lenders shall have executed counterparts of this letter and the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have received written or telephonic
notification of such execution, provided however, that it shall be a condition
                                -------- -------
subsequent to the effectiveness hereof that the Administrative Agent shall have
received from Borrowers an extension fee in the aggregate amount of $225,000 on
or prior to September 22, 2000, for ratable distribution to each DIP Lender that
has executed and delivered a counterpart to this amendment letter on or prior to
September 6, 2000, according to the ratio of (i) the commitment of such
executing DIP Lender to (ii) the aggregate commitments of all such executing DIP
Lenders, and if the Administrative Agent shall not have received such fee by
such date, this amendment letter shall be null and void, ab initio, and of no
force or effect whatsoever.

                                       2

Vencor, Inc. and the Borrowers under the
 Existing DIP Credit Agreement referred to below

Attention:  Edward Kuntz
            President and Chief Executive Officer

            Re:  Second Amendment to Commitment Letter
                 -------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Reference is made to that certain letter, dated June 12, 2000 (as
amended by that certain Amendment to Commitment Letter dated as of August 31,
2000, the "Commitment Letter"), from Ableco Finance LLC, Appaloosa Investment
Limited Partnership I, Franklin Mutual Advisers LLC, Van Kampen Prime Rate
Income Trust, Van Kampen Senior Floating Rate Fund and Van Kampen Senior Income
Trust (collectively, the "Underwriting Lenders") to Vencor, Inc. and the other
Borrowers under the Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of September
13, 1999 (as heretofore amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the
"Existing DIP Credit Agreement").  All capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Commitment
Letter.

          Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Underwriting Lenders agreed to
restructure the credit facilities available under the Existing DIP Credit
Agreement on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth therein.  The
Commitment Letter presently states that the Underwriting Lenders' commitments to
provide the Borrowers with the DIP Facility shall terminate on October 31, 2000
unless on or before such date, the Borrowers (i) shall have obtained from the
Court authorization to execute and deliver the Commitment Letter (and the Term
Sheet) and to pay the fees described in the Term Sheet and (ii) shall have paid
to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Arranger, the Underwriting
Lenders and such other Persons as may be entitled thereto, as the case may be,
the arranging fees and the financing fees described in the Term Sheet which are
due and payable upon Court approval of the Commitment Letter.  The Commitment
Letter further provides that the DIP Facility referred to therein shall in no
event be available unless the Effective Date shall have occurred on or prior to
October 31, 2000.
<PAGE>

          The Borrowers have requested that the Underwriting Lenders agree to
extend (a) the date by which Court authorization must be obtained to execute and
deliver the Commitment Letter (and the Term Sheet) and to pay the fees described
in the Term Sheet, and to pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to
the Arranger, the Underwriting Lenders and such other Persons as may be entitled
thereto, as the case may be, the arranging fees and the financing fees described
in the Term Sheet which are due and payable upon court approval thereof, from
October 31, 2000 through and including January 31, 2001, and (b) the date by
which the Effective Date must occur from October 31, 2000 through and including
January 31, 2001.

          The Underwriting Lenders hereby agree to the Borrowers' request to
extend such dates on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein.
Therefore, from and after the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), (a)
the reference to the date "October 31, 2000" contained in the first sentence of
the next to last paragraph of the Commitment Letter is hereby deleted and
replaced with the date "January 31, 2001," and (b) the reference to the date
"October 31, 2000" contained in each of the last sentence of the next to last
paragraph of the Commitment Letter and in the Term Sheet under the heading
"Effective Date" is hereby deleted and replaced with the date "January 31,
2001."

          On and after the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below),
each reference in the Commitment Letter to "this letter agreement", "hereunder",
"hereof", "herein" or words of like import referring to the Commitment Letter,
shall mean and be a reference to the Commitment Letter as amended by this letter
(the "Second Amended Commitment Letter").

          The amendments set forth above shall be limited precisely as written,
and nothing in this letter shall be deemed to prejudice any right or remedy that
the Administrative Agent or any Underwriting Lender may now have or may have in
the future under or in connection with the Commitment Letter.  Except as
specifically amended by this letter, the Commitment Letter shall remain in full
force and effect.

          This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  This letter shall
become effective (the date of such effectiveness being the "Second Amendment
Effective Date") upon the earliest date on or prior to October 31, 2000 that (a)
the Borrowers and Underwriting Lenders shall have executed counterparts of this
letter and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall have received
written or telephonic notification of such execution, and (b) the Administrative
Agent shall have received from Borrowers an extension fee in the aggregate
amount of $112,500 on or prior to October 27, 2000, for ratable distribution to
each DIP Lender that has executed and delivered a counterpart to this amendment
letter on or prior to October 27, 2000, according to the ratio of (i) the
commitment of such executing DIP Lender to (ii) the aggregate commitments of all
such executing DIP Lenders.

          THIS LETTER AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
