Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, a nonqualified, unfunded deferred compensation plan effective July 1, 2010, for the benefit of certain management or highly-compensated employees of Baptist Health Systems, Inc. Participants are chosen by the Chairman's Council of the Board (the Council) of Baptist Health Systems, Inc. The purpose of the plan is to enhance the ability of Baptist Health Systems, Inc. to attract and retain qualified management personnel with a market-competitive supplemental retirement benefit for a select group of management or highly compensated employees on a tax-deferred basis. Baptist Health Systems, Inc. will contribute to each participant's plan an annual amount equal to a percentage of the participant's base salary commencing in 2010 and continuing each year thereafter until the year in which the participant separates from employment. An applicable percentage of either 17.5% or 15% of base salary will be contributed to each participant's plan (or such other percentage as the Council determines). The vested accrued balance or employer contribution (plus earnings or losses) will be paid for any event requiring such payment other than death, as soon as administratively feasible but no later than the last day of the calendar year in which the event occurs. If the event that results in the payment of the benefit is death, the balance will be paid as soon as the Board obtains satisfactory proof of death, but no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the Participant dies. Certain participants who remain in continuous employment have a non-forfeitable right to receive the employer contribution made in a plan year as of the first day of the plan year that is five years from the first day of the Plan year in which such contribution was made. However, if such participant has attained a specified age, the participant shall have a non-forfeitable right to receive any future employer contributions along with earnings or losses that have not vested and an immediate non-forfeitable right to receive any future employer contributions as of the date such contributions are made. New participants other than those specifically identified in the Plan have a non-forfeitable right to receive their accrued balance based on a vesting schedule as described in the Plan document. Otherwise, a participant shall have a non-forfeitable right to receive his accrued balance upon his separation from service on account of death, disability, or upon involuntary separation from service without cause if such separation occurs prior to the completion of the five year period described above, prior to attaining the age specified above, or prior to the applicable vesting schedule described above.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>In May 2006, the System was approved by the State of Mississippi to obtain special tax exempt financing (Series 2006 Bond) related to a medical office building under construction in Madison County, Mississippi. The special funding (GoZone) was made available through the Federal government in response to Hurricane Katrina. The GoZone financing totaled $17,000,000. On September 24, 2009, the organization redeemed and paid $2,600,000 of the bonds. Accordingly, the amount of the total GoZone financing of $17,000,000 was classified as a current installment of long-term debt in the balance sheet at August 31, 2009. On October 29, 2009, the organization converted the remaining GoZone financing of $14,400,000 from a variable instrument backed by a letter of credit from a commercial bank to a variable debt instrument held by the commercial bank. A Form 8038 was issued upon the conversion and the information reported in Part I matches this form. In March 2007, the System issued $200,905,000 in MS Hospital Equipment &amp; Facilities Authority Series 2007A (fixed rate) and 2007B (variable rate) revenue bonds (the Series 2007 Bonds). The proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds were used to (1) extinguish the remaining MHEFA Series 1995 and 1990B revenue bonds, (2) establish a project fund to finance the costs of various System capital projects, primarily the West Tower expansion, (3) establish various debt service and reserve funds required by the related indenture, and (4) pay certain costs of issuance. In April 2008, the System consummated a transaction with a bank, whereby an $80,000,000 line of credit was made available for the extinguishment of the Series 2007 Bonds. The amount in Part I, column (e) for the Series 2007 Bonds does not agree with the Form 8038 filed for such bonds since the 2007B Bonds are no longer outstanding and therefore not reported on Schedule K. The Series 2009 Bond was issued to provide funds to payoff the outstanding principal amount of the line of credit mentioned above executed in April 2008.</Explanation>
