A. Pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 21, 2008 by and between Borrowers, Ensign, the other parties thereto and Lender (as amended, modified and restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), the parties have established certain financing arrangements that allow funds to be borrowed from Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.
B. The parties now desire to amend the Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below and to add as new Borrower certain New Operating Companies that are party to this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties have agreed to the following amendments to the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings that are set forth in the Loan Agreement.
1. Amendments to Loan Agreement.
(a) Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by inserting in proper alphabetical order the following new definitions:
““Borrower” means any Closing Date Borrower, any New Operating Company that has executed a Joinder Agreement or any New Operating Company that is party to the First Amendment.”
““First Amendment” means that certain Amendment No. 1 and Joinder Agreement to this Agreement dated as of February 4, 2009 by and among Borrowers, certain other parties thereto and Lender.”
““First Amendment Effective Date” means February 4, 2009.”
““Restricted Collateral Reserve” means that certain Reserve in the initial amount of $6,000,000 established by Lender in its reasonable credit judgment pursuant to the First Amendment and in accordance with Section 2.1(e), which may be reduced by Lender in its reasonable credit judgment from time to time upon receipt of additional information with respect to developments in the investigation by the United States Attorney for the Central District of California described on Schedules 4.5 and 4.13 to this Agreement.”
(b) Section 2.1(d) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence of Section 2.1(d) and by inserting in lieu thereof the following:
“Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, advances under the Loan shall be made against a borrowing base equal to (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of Qualified Accounts due and owing from any Medicaid/Medicare, Insurer or other Account Debtor minus (b) for all periods from and after the First Amendment Effective Date through the earlier of (i) the date of which Lender has received evidence in form and substance satisfactory to Lender of a resolution satisfactory to Lender of the investigation by the United States Attorney for the Central District of California described on Schedules 4.5 and 4.13 to this Agreement and (ii) the date on which Lender sends notice to Borrowers of elimination of the Restricted Collateral Reserve in its entirety, the Restricted Collateral Reserve applicable at such time (the “Borrowing Base”).”
2. Joinder. The New Operating Companies hereby join the Loan Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) each as a Borrower thereunder and agree to be bound by all of the terms thereof, and shall be as if New Operating Company were an original signatory thereto. The New Operating Companies hereby assume all of the obligations of a Borrower under the Loan Agreement and this Amendment and ratify and affirm as of the date hereof each and every term, representation, warranty, covenant and condition set forth in the Loan Agreement and this Amendment and agree to be bound by all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Loan Agreement and this Amendment applicable to a Borrower.

4. Confirmation of Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower hereby (a) confirms that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Loan Agreement are true and correct, and (b) specifically represents and warrants to Lender that it has good and marketable title to all of its respective Collateral, free and clear of any lien or security interest in favor of any other person or entity, except as identified in Schedule 1.39 and Schedule 4.19 to the Loan Agreement, and as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

(d) This Amendment (together with any other document executed in connection herewith) is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as, a novation of the Loan Agreement.
