On December 9, 2009, the board of directors of LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. (the “Company”)
adopted and approved the LifePoint Hospitals Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is
an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation program sponsored by the Company to provide certain
of its senior executives and other highly compensated service providers designated by the
Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) the
opportunity to defer compensation into the Plan. The effective date of the Plan is January 1,
2010.
Participants may defer up to 50% of their annual base compensation and up to 100% of any
performance or year-end bonus to the Plan. In the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the
Company may make additional contributions to be credited to the account of any or all participants
in the Plan. Such Company contributions generally will vest after two years or upon a change of
control of the Company.
Under the terms of the Plan, the Company may establish a trust as a reserve for the benefits
payable under the Plan. Distributions from the Plan are governed by the Internal Revenue Code and
the Plan.
This summary of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Plan attached as an exhibit hereto.
