The Members, in consideration of the foregoing premises and their mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

INTERESTS IN AND CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY

1.1 Units: Percentage Shares. Each Member’s Interest in the Company shall be denominated in “Units”. A Member’s “Percentage Share” in the Company shall be obtained by converting to a percentage the fraction having as its numerator the number of Units held by such Member and having as its denominator the aggregate number of Units held by all Members at the time. The initial Units and Percentage Share of each Member shall be set forth opposite such Member’s name on Exhibit 1.1 attached hereto. Thereafter, such Percentage Share shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. All such adjustments shall be reflected on Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

1.2 Initial Capital Contributions. The Capital Contributions of the Members are shown on Exhibit 1.2. Except as provided in the Act, after a Member’s initial Capital Contribution is fully paid, no Member shall be required to make any further capital contributions or to lend any funds to the Company. “Capital Contribution” shall mean, with respect to any Member, the amount of money and the initial gross asset value of any property (other than money) contributed at any time to the Company with respect to such Member’s interest in the Company.

1.3 Return of Capital. No Member or assignee shall have the right to demand or receive a return of all or any part of such Member’s contributions to the capital of the Company. No Member (or assignee) shall be entitled to any interest on such Member’s capital account.

1.4 Limited Liability of Members, Assignees and Directors. No Member, assignee or Director shall be personally liable for the acts, debts, liabilities, or other obligations of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, or for the acts or omissions of any other Member, assignee, Director, employee or agent of the Company. Each Member, Director and assignee shall be liable only to make the Capital Contributions that it has agreed to make and for such person’s own acts and conduct.

1.5 Capital Accounts. Separate capital accounts shall be maintained for each Member (and assignee) and shall consist generally of the sum of the Member’s initial capital account and any additional contributions to the capital of the Company that may be made by such Member, plus such Member’s share of the income of the Company, less such Member’s share of any losses of the Company, and less any distributions to or withdrawals made by or attributable to such Member from the Company. Each Member’s capital account shall be maintained and adjusted in accordance with the principles set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b).

ARTICLE 2.

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

2.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses. Profits and losses for any fiscal year or other shorter period shall be allocated among Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares. “Profits and Losses” shall mean, for each fiscal year or other shorter period, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss). “Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

The Board of Directors is authorized to make distributions of cash or other property to the Members (or assignees) in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares in such amounts and at such times as the Board of Directors shall determine. Nothing contained herein is intended nor shall be construed or applied to violate the fraud and abuse prohibitions under the Medicare and Medicaid programs. No Member shall have the right to demand or receive distributions of property other than cash. Distributions in kind of Company property, in liquidation or otherwise, shall be made only with the consent of the Board of Directors and only at a value agreed to by the Board of Directors. Prior to any such distribution in kind, the difference between such agreed value and the book value of such property shall be credited or charged, as the case may be, to the Members’ capital accounts in proportion to their Percentage Shares, except as may otherwise be required under Code Section 704(c). Upon the distribution of such property, such agreed value shall be charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members receiving such distribution.

3.3 Removal of Directors. The Members shall have the power at any meeting of the Members to remove any Director or officer with or without cause by a vote of the majority in amount of all the outstanding Units of the Company entitled to vote.

3.4 Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors or from any removal of incumbent Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, and the Directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner removed. If there are no Directors in office, then an election of Directors may be held by the Members.

3.5 Quorum.

Special meetings may be called at the discretion of the President of the Company, or upon request of a majority of members of the Board of Directors. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held immediately following the annual meeting of Members, at which the Directors shall elect the officers of the Company for the ensuing year and transact such other business as may come before said meeting, of which no notice need be given except as herein contained.

3.7 Notice of Meetings. Notice of all special meetings and the place, date and hour for holding such meetings, excepting only the regular meetings shall be given to each Director by mail, telecopy, or telegraph, by the Secretary at least three (3) days previous to the time fixed for the meeting.

notice, if a quorum be present, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to holding such meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the records of the Company or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

3.9 Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting. To the extent provided by applicable law, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

3.11 Local Advisory Board.

3.11.1 Board. It shall be the policy of the Company that any medical facility owned by the Company shall be operated as a division of the Company under the administrative direction of an “Administrator” and with the advice of a “Local Advisory Board”, some of the members of which shall be persons who are residents of the area served by the facility. The medical practice conducted in each medical facility shall be under the supervision of the medical staff of such facility and shall be conducted in accordance with the highest standards of medical ethics and professional competence. The Local Advisory Board shall consist of two (2) individual members of the community in which ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Medical Center (the “Hospital”) is operated (the “Community Representatives”), two (2) physicians chosen by the Board of Directors and two (2) other representatives chosen by the Board of Directors. The Community Representatives will be selected by the Board of Directors from a slate of candidates (at least equal to the number of Local Advisory Board seats to be filled) submitted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Medical Center, Inc. or a party it identifies from time to time in writing to the Board of Directors as its designee. In the event the Company or an affiliate acquires, leases or engages in a similar transaction with ▇▇▇▇▇ Community Hospital, the Company may increase the size of the Local Advisory Board and provide for the selection of such additional LAB Directors as the Company determines in its discretion, to provide ▇▇▇▇▇ Community Hospital representation on the Local Advisory Board. Members of the Local Advisory Board are referred to in this Agreement as “LAB Directors”. The Local Advisory Board shall continue in existence until the earlier of (i) a change in law that the Board of Directors believes would result in the illegality of the Local Advisory Board relationship, (iii) receipt of a response from a nationally recognized hospital accreditation commission indicating that the Local Advisory Board’s continued existence would have a material negative effect on the Hospital’s ability to receive or maintain accreditation by such commission, or (iii) October 1, 2009 (the “Existence Period”).

3.11.2 Governance and Responsibilities. The Local Advisory Board shall be governed by this Agreement, but in addition thereto shall authorize and adopt Bylaws for its own management subject to the authority of the Board of Directors. Such Bylaws shall provide the procedure for the election of officers, regular meetings, keeping of a permanent record of the minutes of the meetings of the Local Advisory Board and other matters. Such Bylaws and rules of procedure shall also provide for the giving of adequate notice of the meetings, and a fair and just procedure to be followed in the reaching of evidentiary and judgmental determinations as to the actions of any medical staff member or any employee of the medical facilities or Company. The Bylaws shall further provide that all action taken by the Local Advisory Board shall be reported to and subject to the authority of the Board of Directors. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Bylaws, this Agreement shall control. The Local Advisory Board shall be responsible for the following:

(a) authority over medical staff affairs, including appointments, re-appointments, credentialing, quality of care issues, and bylaws;

(b) assuring the Hospital’s compliance with the requirements of the JCAHO;

(c) oversight over all the Hospital’s quality assurance activities;

(d) providing input to the Board of Directors’ on strategic and long-range plans; and

(e) in the event the Company or an affiliate leases or acquires or sells ▇▇▇▇▇ Community Hospital, development of a plan to consolidate the operations of the Hospital and ▇▇▇▇▇ Community Hospital.

3.11.3 Reservation. Responsibilities not specifically assigned to the Local Advisory Board in Section 3.11.2 will be retained by the Board of Directors including but not limited to all authority regarding operational and financial matters. In addition, the Board of Directors shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to override any decision made by the Local Advisory Board.

3.11.4 Removal of LAB Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the power to remove and replace any LAB Director with or without cause. Vacancies from any resignation or removal of incumbent LAB Directors shall be filled by the Board of Directors provided, however, that any replacement of a LAB Director originally selected from the slate of candidates submitted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Medical Center, Inc. pursuant to Section 3.11.1 shall be selected by the Board of Directors from a new slate of candidates submitted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ medical Center, Inc.

3.11.5 Administrator. The Board of Directors shall select and employ a competent and experienced Administrator who shall be its direct representative in the management of the medical facility. The Administrator shall be given the necessary authority and held responsible for the administration of the medical facility in all departments, subject only to the policies enacted by the Board of Directors or by the Local Advisory Board pursuant to any delegated responsibility for medical matters.

3.11.6 Amendment. The provisions of Section 3.11 of this Agreement shall not be amended, modified, or repealed without a favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the Units voted at the meeting at which such amendment is to be considered, except with respect to any medical

facilities which, in the opinion of at least two-thirds of all members of the Board of Directors, are not operating in accordance with the highest standards of medical ethics and professional competence or good business practices.

7.2 Method of Liquidation. Upon the happening of any of the events specified in Section 7.1, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members.

7.5 Date of Termination. The Company shall be completely terminated when all property of the Company shall have been disposed of by the Company in accordance with Section 7.2. The establishment of any reserves in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 or the creation of a liquidating trust in accordance with Section 7.4 shall not have the effect of extending the existence of the Company, but any remaining balance in any such reserve or liquidating trust shall be distributed in the manner provided in Section 7.2 upon expiration of the period of such reserve or liquidating trust, as the case may be.

7.6 Certificate of Cancellation. Upon completing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, the Company shall cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Company as provided by Act § 18-203.
